Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Drunk Raccoon Becomes Top US Story After Getting Plastered, Passing Out In Bathroom | Timcast IRL

00:02:10.000 The top story of the day.

00:02:12.000 A raccoon got drunk.

00:02:14.000 You may be surprised.

00:02:15.000 Did you know that raccoons could get drunk?

00:02:17.000 You may be asking yourself, why did I click this?

00:02:20.000 I don't really care about a raccoon getting drunk. 0.96

00:02:22.000 Well, some of you may be saying, dude, just shut up and tell me about the raccoon getting drunk. 0.83

00:02:25.000 What happened?

00:02:25.000 It broke into a liquor store, stole moonshine, and I guess peanut butter whiskey, got plastered, passed out, sprawled on the floor at a bathroom.

00:02:34.000 And it's funny, and I enjoyed the story, but I was actually shocked to find that in Google Trend search, as well as across all of corporate news, this is their top story.

00:02:46.000 It's not a joke.

00:02:47.000 But there is actually something behind this that I thought was interesting and worth opening a show with.

00:02:52.000 And it's that everybody's so fried on politics, man.

00:02:56.000 When the raccoon story popped up, people said, just please, for the love of all this holy, give me the raccoon story.

00:03:01.000 And I'll be honest with you, there is some big news today.

00:03:04.000 Donald Trump suspended immigration, citizenship, and asylum applications from 19 countries.

00:03:10.000 He halted the process of these ceremonies for getting citizenship.

00:03:14.000 These are people who are already in the United States with legal visas that finished the citizenship process.

00:03:18.000 We're about to go swear their oath. 0.98

00:03:20.000 And Trump was like, nah, we're not going to do that.

00:03:23.000 So there is big news.

00:03:25.000 7,000 criminals released from the jails, criminal migrants, and other such things just released in New York for seemingly no reason.

00:03:34.000 And we're in a massive solar storm.

00:03:36.000 So the apocalypse is still here, guys.

00:03:39.000 But it was interesting to see this.

00:03:40.000 And I decided, you know what, at least for today, let's talk about the crazy stuff too.

00:03:44.000 But at least we'll get started talking about the raccoon and what the raccoon means.

00:03:50.000 What is the message behind this raccoon story?

00:03:52.000 There actually is one.

00:03:52.000 We'll talk about fatigue.

00:03:54.000 Everybody's fatigued, man.

00:03:55.000 Seriously, everybody is fatigued.

00:03:57.000 I've been having conversations.

00:03:58.000 Having a touching grass, talking to a lot of people about this, and we'll talk about what's happening in this country politically, but what the raccoon means for all of that.

00:04:05.000 Before we get started, my friends, we got some great sponsors for you.

00:04:08.000 We got Bearskin.

00:04:10.000 Check out Bearskin, Bear.skin/slash Tim.

00:04:14.000 That's B-A-E-R. 0.91

00:04:15.000 You guys already know about the Bearskin hoodie, right?

00:04:17.000 Well, if you've been waiting to get yourself one, now is the time.

00:04:20.000 It's officially hoodie season, cold mornings, windy days, surprise, no.

00:04:23.000 And right now, Bearskin is running their biggest deal of the year.

00:04:26.000 We're talking 60% off for this Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

00:04:29.000 Now, this isn't some old fleece.

00:04:31.000 This thing is built with 340 GSM bearskin fleece, 10 pockets, a rugged athletic fit that actually looks good.

00:04:37.000 Plus, if it starts pouring, you can zip on the heavy storm rain jack and instantly level up to full waterproof protection.

00:04:45.000 You get free U.S. shipping from their U.S. warehouse, and the gear will last you season after season.

00:04:50.000 So what you got to do, to get 60% off, text Tim to 36912.

00:04:55.000 Again, that's text Tim to 36912.

00:04:58.000 They'll send you a link so you can lock it in, click it whenever you can.

00:05:07.000 So you're not just buying great gear, you're backing a cause that matters.

00:05:11.000 Grab your bearskin while this Black Friday deal is live by texting Tim to 36912.

00:05:17.000 And of course, my friends, I must, must, must, must shout out, of course, pool water.

00:05:24.000 Have you ever thought about drinking pool water?

00:05:26.000 Don't.

00:05:27.000 But if you want to drink bottled water that's called pool water, you can go to casprew.com and grab some while you still can.

00:05:33.000 Admittedly, it's a gag product, but it's legitimately just artesian water, which is it's pretty good.

00:05:39.000 And we made it as a gag.

00:05:41.000 Glass bottles, you can buy.

00:05:42.000 We got 242 left.

00:05:44.000 Actually, it looks like it's going to be distributed to a variety of restaurants and warehouses and may appear in some gas stations, I guess, because people think it's very funny.

00:05:52.000 So go to casprew.com, check that out.

00:05:54.000 And don't forget to support the show.

00:05:56.000 Smash the like button.

00:05:57.000 Share the show with everyone you know right now.

00:06:00.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more.

00:06:03.000 We have Raw Egg Nationalist.

00:06:05.000 It's great to be with you.

00:06:07.000 Who are you?

00:06:07.000 What are you doing?

00:06:08.000 I am, well, I started life as a Twitter poster and anonymously on Twitter.

00:06:15.000 And then my identity was revealed by some unpleasant left-wing activists in the UK.

00:06:21.000 I write about health and fitness.

00:06:22.000 I was the star of the 2022 Tucker Carlson documentary, The End of Men, about testosterone decline.

00:06:29.000 And now I have written a book that sort of follows on from the documentary called The Last Men, Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity, which is about testosterone decline as a political problem.

00:06:41.000 And I think it is a big political problem.

00:06:43.000 Indeed.

00:06:44.000 Interesting.

00:06:44.000 Well, it should be fun.

00:06:45.000 Thanks for hanging out.

00:06:45.000 We got Tate hanging out.

00:06:46.000 What is going on, guys?

00:06:47.000 It's Tate Brown here holding it down.

00:06:49.000 I'm privileged to be here at the Raw Egg National.

00:06:50.000 It's a long time follow, so it's super sick that he's here in the studio.

00:06:54.000 And I'm ready to talk about this raccoon.

00:06:55.000 Brett, how are you doing?

00:06:56.000 I'm very excited to talk about the raccoon.

00:06:58.000 You can make everything political these days.

00:07:00.000 It's a lot harder to make a drunk raccoon political.

00:07:03.000 Maybe that's the benefit for all this.

00:07:04.000 Guys, it's Brett.

00:07:05.000 If you don't know, normally doing Pop Culture Crisis Monday through Friday at 3 p.m.

00:07:09.000 We are off this week.

00:07:10.000 We will be back again Monday next week.

00:07:12.000 But Phil, how are you doing?

00:07:13.000 Hello, everybody.

00:07:14.000 My name is Phil Labonte.

00:07:15.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.

00:07:17.000 I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.

00:07:19.000 Let's get into it.

00:07:20.000 Here's the big news from the New York Times.

00:07:22.000 Actually, it's not just the New York Times.

00:07:24.000 A drunk raccoon passed out in the bathroom of a Virginia liquor store.

00:07:29.000 Don't worry, it's okay.

00:07:30.000 Seriously, the New York Times and the Associated Press.

00:07:34.000 Raccoon goes on drunken rampage in Virginia liquor store and passes out on bathroom floor.

00:07:38.000 That's literally the story.

00:07:40.000 There's nothing else to read.

00:07:42.000 Here's The Guardian.

00:07:44.000 Drunk raccoon found passed out in Virginia liquor store.

00:07:47.000 There's the image of the drunk raccoon.

00:07:48.000 It's funny.

00:07:49.000 Here's the BBC.

00:07:51.000 Drunk raccoon found passed out on liquor store floor after breaking in.

00:07:55.000 And it drank booze and then passed out.

00:07:58.000 And then, of course, we have the Washington Post.

00:08:01.000 Drunk raccoon passes out in bathroom after ransacking VA liquor store.

00:08:05.000 And then, of course, we have Google Trends showing that, well, there are stories above drunk raccoon.

00:08:11.000 You've got athletic Real Madrid.

00:08:13.000 They're always doing well.

00:08:14.000 But it spiked in the trends and dropped off quickly.

00:08:17.000 Leeds United versus Chelsea spiked in the trends and dropped off quickly.

00:08:21.000 Elden Campbell, sad story, spiked and then declined.

00:08:26.000 Yet Drunken Raccoon, Virginia Liquor Store spiked several times and is slowly going up.

00:08:32.000 It's here to stay.

00:08:33.000 The people demand drunken raccoon.

00:08:37.000 And I will just give you the quick gist of the story.

00:08:39.000 It entered a liquor store through the roof, wreaking havoc, drinking rum, moonshine, and peanut butter whiskey.

00:08:46.000 It got drunk, even some vodka, crawled into the bathroom where it plopped face down, drunk, and was found sleeping.

00:08:52.000 That's it.

00:08:53.000 Have they made AI videos of the raccoon yet?

00:08:56.000 Because those are going to be coming out in short order.

00:08:58.000 This is our future.

00:08:58.000 Yes.

00:09:00.000 Oh, go ahead.

00:09:00.000 No, I mean, I was just saying, I think this is like one of the most impactful stories, I think, of the year.

00:09:04.000 I mean, we were discussing pre-show a lot of the philosophical implications here.

00:09:08.000 I mean, this is a very Haushtin character, very powerful. 0.99

00:09:12.000 I mean, this is a creature at the end of a civilizational rope.

00:09:15.000 This is someone that is yearning for Horizons.

00:09:18.000 And it's a metaphor for men today.

00:09:21.000 You know, a raccoon, a symbol of wild strength and viciousness, reduced to a drunkard sleeping on the floor, weak, frail, and impotent.

00:09:30.000 I mean, this is like, yeah, this is my wheelhouse.

00:09:33.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:09:34.000 Drunken raccoons.

00:09:35.000 Yeah, it's unbelievably powerful.

00:09:37.000 Why do you think it's spiking?

00:09:38.000 Why do you think it's spiked the way?

00:09:40.000 Well, I mean, it's a hilarious story.

00:09:41.000 So you think it is, it's like literally, you can't get away from politics and anything.

00:09:44.000 You want to talk about movies?

00:09:45.000 It can be made about politics.

00:09:46.000 Video games, politics.

00:09:47.000 You want to talk about the weather?

00:09:48.000 Even that's politics.

00:09:49.000 Now, it's harder to politicize drunken raccoon unless something bad happens to him like peanut.

00:09:54.000 Well, there's a very, very simple and obvious reason why this story, there's two big picture reasons why the story is going viral and why it is one of the, if not the top story right now.

00:10:05.000 It's not a joke.

00:10:07.000 And, you know, that doesn't mean we always would do something like leading off the show talking about a drunken raccoon.

00:10:13.000 We were going to lead off with like the immigration stuff and Trump suspending immigration.

00:10:16.000 This matters to those who care about policy and function of government.

00:10:20.000 But there is something bigger here that matters more to everybody who actually does care about function of government.

00:10:26.000 That is, no one else does, and they're increasingly walking away from you.

00:10:30.000 So I've had many conversations recently.

00:10:33.000 More and more, people are telling me things like, I used to watch the news all the time, but I just turned it off.

00:10:38.000 It's the same thing all day, every day.

00:10:41.000 So what happens?

00:10:42.000 It's a funny story.

00:10:45.000 People are curious, like, wait, what happened?

00:10:47.000 So they look for it.

00:10:48.000 More importantly, as Brett's mentioning, you can't make it political.

00:10:52.000 It can't really be.

00:10:53.000 Someone's going to be like, well, the issue with Virginia is they have these ABCs.

00:10:56.000 Conservation laws are really, yeah.

00:10:58.000 But the point is. 0.63

00:10:59.000 Trump's so bad that this raccoons are drunk.

00:11:02.000 This story is the top story with 50,000 searches. 0.85

00:11:07.000 That's it.

00:11:08.000 Real Madrid has 200,000, but again, that spiked and then dropped off.

00:11:12.000 50,000 searches is nothing.

00:11:15.000 So that indicates two big things.

00:11:19.000 Culturally, we don't care about the same things anymore.

00:11:22.000 In the United States, everyone cares about some random thing, some micro-community, some random subculture.

00:11:28.000 No one's paying attention to big picture stuff anymore.

00:11:31.000 Again, the story is funny, but also politics is cooked.

00:11:35.000 Not just because we're in the back of the back year of a presidential election, but because for the past decade, literal decade, every day, it's been like someone standing next to you screaming Trump at the top of their lungs.

00:11:51.000 And people have begun to tune out and just say, I don't care anymore.

00:11:55.000 There's nothing you can say.

00:11:56.000 Well, it's like the boy that cried wolf with a lot of it for most of the time.

00:12:00.000 You're hearing that it's the end of the world from everyone.

00:12:02.000 And you can only hear that so many times before you're just like, look, you said that yesterday, and I'm still here.

00:12:07.000 This is funny.

00:12:07.000 Maybe, maybe this is a white pill, right?

00:12:09.000 Like people are saying, you know what?

00:12:11.000 I don't care about the terrible thing that people are upset about on the internet today.

00:12:17.000 Maybe this is like my chance to read a story that has some levity. 0.93

00:12:20.000 It's silly. 0.74

00:12:21.000 It's funny. 0.71

00:12:22.000 And it gives me some respite from what has been a year full of people having an absolute territory.

00:12:28.000 Heritage fit about Donald Trump.

00:12:30.000 I would say yes, but the search volume for this story is extremely low.

00:12:34.000 The point is the search volume for everything else is lower.

00:12:38.000 This means that, you know, normally when Ozzy died, you had 10 million searches because that was something impactful culturally that we were all uniform.

00:12:49.000 Like everybody knew Ozzy.

00:12:51.000 So everybody was like, what just happened?

00:12:54.000 We don't have shared culture anymore.

00:12:57.000 So even though this is the biggest story, it's the lowest common denominator.

00:13:02.000 If the New York Times says we need clicks, if they write a Trump story, they're not going to get clicks.

00:13:07.000 People are either saying, I don't care anymore, or your opinion about Trump is wrong.

00:13:12.000 But the raccoon, 50,000.

00:13:15.000 This is the death of American media.

00:13:18.000 I think, you know, one of the reasons we focused very heavily on memberships is because this is something I've been predicting for a while that volume-based media is cooked.

00:13:27.000 If you want to run a company and you want to make money to pay your employees, you need actual paying members.

00:13:33.000 If you're going to try and operate off ad sales and volume, it's not going to happen moving forward.

00:13:38.000 Well, even views-wise, if you're talking about that type of, when you said when Ozzy died, who else died around that time?

00:13:44.000 I don't remember if that was Michelle Trachtenberg, but we covered there was like three or four deaths that all happened around that time.

00:13:49.000 And we covered them each day on the show to varying degrees of volume of people watching the clips after the fact.

00:13:56.000 And the Michelle Trachtenberg one did really, really well because it fell in line with what our channel covers.

00:14:01.000 We cover less music.

00:14:02.000 So like you said, everybody's kind of sectored themselves off into their own little corners of the internet.

00:14:07.000 And so you don't have great volume on a ton of other things because everybody's looking for something very, very specific to a niche group of people.

00:14:15.000 Yeah, I mean, this has been described by like some cultural commentators as the monoculture of the 20th century, where, I mean, because you had mainstream institutions, mainstream media institutions, so people generally were all on the same page with what sort of media they were intaking.

00:14:28.000 Obviously, the radio, the movie theaters, that sort of thing.

00:14:30.000 The internet comes along and democratizes everything.

00:14:32.000 No one is on the same page.

00:14:33.000 We can't create stars anymore.

00:14:34.000 So there's no touch points for people.

00:14:36.000 And that's how you just get further and further atomization on media intake.

00:14:41.000 We can't create stars anymore.

00:14:41.000 There's no stars.

00:14:43.000 All that's left is small furry animals.

00:14:45.000 Yeah.

00:14:47.000 The lowest common denominator.

00:14:48.000 So I was talking about this the other day.

00:14:51.000 I did a Tim Pool show podcast on brutalism.

00:14:56.000 There's this great video where Sheehan Quirk talks about how you've got this great architecture along the Thames River with these like fish around these lampposts and everyone gathered around and stood in awe and they all had a contest.

00:15:09.000 And now they just build black posts.

00:15:11.000 They're ugly LED posts.

00:15:13.000 And why do we have big gray blocks?

00:15:15.000 It's exactly why we have drunk raccoon.

00:15:17.000 To be fair, I like drunk raccoon.

00:15:19.000 It's funny.

00:15:20.000 But the reason why your McDonald's no longer has a play place, the reason why Pizza Hut no longer has its stylized structure and is a gray block strip mall delivery project is because the people who come to this country, the 53 million migrants, do not share your values. 1.00

00:15:38.000 And so if a company says, I want to sell as much product as possible, they have to cater to the community.

00:15:45.000 So McDonald's, what do they do?

00:15:46.000 They build a playpace, a play place.

00:15:48.000 They put a grimace because they want the kids to be like, I want to go to McDonald's.

00:15:52.000 Well, people don't have kids anymore.

00:15:53.000 Then what happens?

00:15:54.000 Well, if they made American flag McDonald's, the immigrants who show up aren't going to be enticed by that. 0.99

00:16:00.000 So they say, then just reduce cost across the board.

00:16:04.000 What happens?

00:16:05.000 Big gray blocks instead of beautiful Roman architecture because no one's going to vote to approve a style of art that is not part of their traditional culture or their worldview.

00:16:15.000 Drunken raccoon is appealing to liberals and Democrats alike.

00:16:19.000 I'm sorry, liberals and conservatives alike.

00:16:21.000 So when they run the story, everybody clicks it.

00:16:24.000 If they run a story about Trump, no matter what, they will get heat for it.

00:16:28.000 So this is your lowest common denominator news, and it's not even getting that much attention.

00:16:33.000 Despite it being the biggest story, it's getting, I do want to be fair.

00:16:37.000 Welcome to the end of the year.

00:16:38.000 Thanksgiving just happened.

00:16:40.000 We have two weeks of work left, and everybody is counting the days and staring at the calendar.

00:16:45.000 Yeah, it's like a QB and Eil.

00:16:47.000 Everyone's just waiting to talk out.

00:16:49.000 I thought a big part of the reason why all of the stores look the same now is because they want to be able to sell that real estate if the store goes out of business, right?

00:16:55.000 Like the like when you sit when you sell a pizza hut now and some other business is there, you know exactly what used to be there before.

00:17:01.000 It lowers the resale for the for the for the land, right?

00:17:05.000 There's a bank out here that's a daycare center.

00:17:07.000 And where like the uh they they built the playground under the drive-through bank teller thing because it's covered and you can tell it's a bank.

00:17:07.000 Yeah.

00:17:17.000 Yeah.

00:17:18.000 I mean, the economy always wins.

00:17:20.000 Yeah.

00:17:20.000 If you can can make sure that your building is resalable, that's going to be the motivating factor for everything.

00:17:28.000 Yeah, I think that there is validity to the fact that there are fewer children.

00:17:32.000 But I mean, you go to, I was just at a Chick-fil-A a couple weeks ago, and there was a playground built into it.

00:17:38.000 So it was indoors.

00:17:40.000 It wasn't like the outside one.

00:17:42.000 So I imagine you could pull it down and still, you know, use the space or something.

00:17:46.000 But, you know, I think that it's more about keeping the value of the real estate than anything else.

00:17:52.000 And this story also, I think, because it's for an American audience, is really shocking.

00:17:56.000 But like I was recently in Glasgow in Scotland.

00:17:58.000 If you walk down Sakiel Street there, you will see animals, humans, all sorts of creatures plastered all over.

00:18:04.000 They're just like what do you call it?

00:18:06.000 Like police sketches, like murder sketches.

00:18:08.000 So I think this is really jarring for an American audience, but I think maybe for the international audience, this wouldn't resonate.

00:18:12.000 Like I see this every day.

00:18:13.000 This is called being from Glasgow.

00:18:15.000 See, this should be turned into a movie right here.

00:18:17.000 We should get a drunk raccoon, like live-action adult animation, brother.

00:18:22.000 It's going to happen.

00:18:22.000 Someone can easily just make the trailer for you right now.

00:18:25.000 It must be security camera footage of this.

00:18:26.000 Yes.

00:18:27.000 Well, I mean, have they not released it?

00:18:29.000 Well, there's always those possibly bears.

00:18:31.000 Like, there's always the videos like the bears that break into convenience stores and get into the food and stuff like that.

00:18:36.000 We need to see what the police response was like.

00:18:38.000 I mean, did they rough up this raccoon?

00:18:39.000 That's a real question.

00:18:41.000 Shall we actually talk about news, though?

00:18:42.000 Sure, why not?

00:18:43.000 So we got the story from Yahoo.

00:18:45.000 It's actually a republish from MS No One Watching.

00:18:49.000 Democrats shouldn't celebrate losing in Tennessee.

00:18:52.000 Why, yes, just the other day, Afton Bain lost, and Matt Van Eps won in the special election in Tennessee by nine points.

00:19:03.000 And the Democrats are celebrating because in 2024, this was an R plus 22 district.

00:19:08.000 And now people are saying, you see, this shows the weakness of the MAGA base and stronghold, which is being ripped asunder. 1.00

00:19:16.000 They're wrong and they're stupid, but at least I'll give them this. 1.00

00:19:20.000 MAGA is absolutely getting torn apart, ripped to shreds. 1.00

00:19:25.000 And, you know, that being said, Turning Point USA just came out and formally addressed Candace Owens, who then said that she's going to, she'll debate them or whatever.

00:19:34.000 And I'm like, you see, this is the problem, I guess.

00:19:36.000 This is the coalition is crumbling.

00:19:39.000 But that being said, Matt Brainerd has an excellent post breaking this down where he says the media will make a big deal about how much closer the Tennessee seven special was in the presidential as some kind of referendum. 0.97

00:19:52.000 But this is fundamentally dumb, don't fall for it.

00:19:55.000 What he basically says is that in 2024, a longtime incumbent ran with zero primary, Mark Green, and outspent the Democrat $2.2 million to $1.2 million. 0.93

00:20:05.000 He won by 21.5%.

00:20:08.000 In the 2024 presidential election in the district, effectively zero money was spent by either presidential campaign, and Republicans were energized in a state they were always expected to win.

00:20:18.000 In this special election, basically what he's saying is Democrats dumped tons of money into it, and Republicans barely paid attention.

00:20:25.000 They expected to win.

00:20:26.000 They didn't care that much, and Democrats had nothing else to focus on. 0.93

00:20:30.000 So they focused heavily on spending money to try and rip down the slim Republican majority.

00:20:36.000 But in the end, the Republicans still win.

00:20:38.000 And the expectation is going into 2026, when you have an energized base, a then incumbent, and a lot more money, no one is going to spend money in this district.

00:20:51.000 The point being, it is safe red.

00:20:53.000 Even when Democrats invested, they still lost.

00:20:56.000 Sure, it shifted leftward because they were trying.

00:20:59.000 But come 2026, they are going to focus on swing districts, and this ain't one of them.

00:21:04.000 This is safe red.

00:21:05.000 So this is not a referendum on anything, but can't say I'm surprised Democrats are all celebrating.

00:21:12.000 It's not just about claiming a victory.

00:21:14.000 It's about telling their base they can win and trying to keep them energized for 2026.

00:21:19.000 So my response to Matt is Democrats know full well it's a meaningless victory.

00:21:24.000 What they want is a moral victory where they can claim, guys, we are gaining ground.

00:21:29.000 Let's get energized for 2026.

00:21:31.000 And then the question is for everybody, who's going to win in 2026?

00:21:35.000 I mean, well, I still think that it depends on the economy, right?

00:21:39.000 Like if the economy is doing well, then Republicans can win.

00:21:44.000 And they're not a shoe-in because of just historically in the, you know, the follow-up to a national campaign or a presidential campaign where one party wins, the other party does better.

00:21:57.000 If the economy is not doing good, the Republicans are going to get trounced.

00:22:01.000 And I don't think that there's a whole lot of, like, this isn't some kind of like brilliant insight.

00:22:05.000 This is a pretty obvious situation.

00:22:08.000 So based on your analysis of it, do you think that then this worked for the Democrats in their favor, that their audience will believe that this should energize them going into 2026 because they can give this very, very simple narrative that they made inroads here, despite the fact that obviously what you're saying or what the guy who wrote that article was saying is saying that it's not that simple?

00:22:26.000 I would say that Democrats, like Candace Owens, rely on an ignorant audience base that won't actually look into evidence and will just blindly believe what they're told.

00:22:37.000 So instead of actually looking at the data, looking at the spend, like Matt Brainerd is pointing out, they just say, wow. 0.92

00:22:43.000 And it works.

00:22:44.000 It really, really does.

00:22:45.000 You'll get a massive base.

00:22:47.000 And your lowest common denominator is going to be seventh grade reading level and lower.

00:22:52.000 So if your lexicon is a bit too verbose for these people, they're going to avoid your content as they can't understand what it is you're trying to convey.

00:23:00.000 Well, I'm the seventh grade reading level here, so that's right for that.

00:23:04.000 And don't forget, reading comprehension doesn't just mean the size of the words or their obscurity.

00:23:09.000 It also means your ability to understand what it is you're actually reading.

00:23:14.000 Yeah.

00:23:15.000 I mean, like I said, it's lowest common denominator frequently wins.

00:23:21.000 So, you know.

00:23:22.000 Indeed.

00:23:23.000 At what point do you start worrying going into 2026 economically? 1.00

00:23:27.000 I'm worried now because Republicans suck. 1.00

00:23:29.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:23:30.000 Trump needs to stop saying things like affordability is a hoax.

00:23:34.000 That really does need to be aware of.

00:23:36.000 Stop holding up the stock market as an indicator of well-being.

00:23:40.000 It's not working for the base.

00:23:41.000 You have some like really odd indicators that are like that are showing the morale of the United States is really poor right now.

00:23:48.000 For one, I think it was the business insider had an article that said 33% of people between 25 and 34 expect to lose their job in the next year.

00:23:56.000 If you have a third of your young people just expecting to lose their job for, and they gave a variety of reasons, the main one was just that the job would be redundant.

00:24:05.000 That's not good for morale.

00:24:07.000 That's not that's young people need to be able to invest in things and expect that they're going to get a return out of it. 0.88

00:24:11.000 I think that that is because of a lot of AI hype.

00:24:15.000 A mixture of AI hype and immigration.

00:24:17.000 I would say those are the two things.

00:24:19.000 And also, I think they just see that.

00:24:22.000 Look, a lot of these companies just lay off people seemingly at random all the time and typically replace them with H1Ps. 0.99

00:24:28.000 This is 270 to win the 2026 House election.

00:24:33.000 Yeah, I'm sorry.

00:24:33.000 Like Tennessee 7 is not, it's safe red.

00:24:37.000 There's no expectation that anything, no one's going to spend money in there.

00:24:40.000 However, you take a look at a bunch of these other districts that are toss-ups.

00:24:43.000 This is where Democrat money is going to go.

00:24:45.000 And that's where we don't know exactly what will happen.

00:24:47.000 And Democrats do have an opportunity to take the majority.

00:24:50.000 Right now, Republicans are favored just in size.

00:24:53.000 209 likely victories to Democrats, 206, but there are 20 toss-ups, which means Democrats could absolutely win.

00:25:02.000 And the problem is there's a handful of issues that matter.

00:25:07.000 The first and most important is the cost of living.

00:25:10.000 Republicans are viewed more favorably than Democrats, but Donald Trump is going on TV and saying grocery prices aren't up.

00:25:17.000 They literally are up quite a bit, and it's terrifying.

00:25:20.000 And if Trump and the Republicans are going to play the game of I'm going to plug my ears and say no over and over again, you're not convincing the working class dad who literally went to the grocery store yesterday and is spending $800 a week. 0.56

00:25:33.000 When you say they're not up, grocery prices are down, he's going to be like, are you insane?

00:25:39.000 And then, to be honest, so long as Democrats just keep shrieking about the color of their skin or who they want to bang, that poor working class guy is going to be like, I don't even know.

00:25:49.000 I guess I'll vote for Republicans.

00:25:51.000 But some Democrats in the congressional districts, they've already had this post-mortem report where they said you need to shift on this message.

00:25:58.000 If swing Democrats go heavy into economics and Republicans aren't, Democrats win. 0.53

00:26:03.000 Well, that's weren't they saying that's why Mum Donnie did as well as he did is because he stayed on message as far as the economy. 0.95

00:26:08.000 So if they can do that, if they can get out of their own way and actually focus on things that matter rather than race and gender, then it feels like it would be very easy for them to it should be.

00:26:19.000 Those can be tertiary issues.

00:26:20.000 They can talk to you know minority groups, the you know, identity groups and say, look, we actually care about your particular issues.

00:26:29.000 But if they're not talking to the average person saying, look, we have a plan that is going to help you economically, then they're not going to be able to get people to vote for them.

00:26:40.000 And they don't.

00:26:41.000 No, they don't.

00:26:42.000 They don't.

00:26:42.000 And not only that, the base wants a lot more.

00:26:46.000 The base wants immigration enforcement.

00:26:48.000 They're getting an arrest of corrupt Democrats and it's not being delivered upon.

00:26:53.000 The immigration stuff, for the most part, is actually, you know, C, B, minus pretty good.

00:26:57.000 But that's the base.

00:26:59.000 That's the politicals.

00:27:00.000 That's the esoteric.

00:27:01.000 These aren't the people who are reading stories about drunk raccoons on a bathroom floor.

00:27:06.000 Those people are just like, oh, yeah, there's no, obviously, the raccoon had to steal the booze.

00:27:11.000 He couldn't afford it anymore.

00:27:12.000 It's expensive.

00:27:12.000 Yeah.

00:27:13.000 Indeed.

00:27:14.000 The highest IQ among us saw the story a day earlier, and then we passed that along to our journalists, friends.

00:27:19.000 It's like the raccoon story.

00:27:20.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:27:21.000 I did see it and I didn't care.

00:27:23.000 And now it's reached.

00:27:25.000 Again, I will stress, like, it is actually pretty scary when 50,000 searches is the fourth biggest search for trending stories.

00:27:35.000 It used to be millions every day.

00:27:37.000 It used to be hundreds of thousands on small trends.

00:27:39.000 It's a combination of no one uses Google anymore.

00:27:43.000 They're shifting to all the different AIs for search, but that is derivative.

00:27:49.000 It's not actually linking you to the source material.

00:27:53.000 So it just looks to me like culture is completely bifurcating.

00:27:56.000 And I will give you my projection with, you know, we talked about it last night in the members only show with Nick Freitas.

00:28:03.000 Because he contested my assessment when I said, if Donald Trump wanted to suspend habeas corpus, we are on the same track as 1861.

00:28:11.000 And he said, absolutely not, because seven states had already seceded at that point.

00:28:15.000 My rebuttal was that more than seven states have already violated federal law by allowing illegal immigrants and utilizing that to seize federal power. 0.99

00:28:23.000 Yeah, it is worth noting that back in the, you know, before the Civil War, there was still kind of the general idea that states could secede, right?

00:28:32.000 Like when the Constitution was signed, they said, well, we're going to join this country.

00:28:37.000 And it was kind of a given that if they felt like they wanted to leave, that they would be allowed to.

00:28:43.000 And my point was, where we are at right now with the election of Zorhan Mamdani in New York, we already saw right when he got elected, something like 40,000 people and businesses had fled New York City.

00:28:57.000 Already half a million left over the past several years from Manhattan specifically.

00:29:02.000 New York has, I believe, around 11 congressional districts.

00:29:05.000 And you had back in 2018, Crowley v. AOC.

00:29:09.000 And Crowley was your neo-lib, typical, you know, urban liberal fat incumbent.

00:29:15.000 And AOC was the progressive upstart.

00:29:18.000 When she won, she moderated quite a bit.

00:29:21.000 She's still a lefty. 1.00

00:29:22.000 She's still pretty far left, but she pulled back on certain issues that resulted in criticism from the far left.

00:29:27.000 AOC is now the moderate for the district.

00:29:30.000 Because the conservative leaning individuals are all fleeing, now all that's left is left and far left, which means when left and far left compromise, you get further left than AOC.

00:29:41.000 So what is it?

00:29:43.000 Now they're talking about primary, who is it Hakeem Jeffries, maybe?

00:29:47.000 I think so.

00:29:48.000 Where is he?

00:29:49.000 He's in New York, right?

00:29:49.000 He's in Brooklyn.

00:29:50.000 Yeah, there's talk of a socialist candidate primaring Hakeem Jeffries.

00:29:50.000 He's in Brooklyn.

00:29:54.000 And he's the leader of the Democratic Party in the House.

00:29:58.000 So they want to, what's going to happen is, as more conservative-leaning people flee blue districts, those blue districts will become communist explicitly.

00:30:07.000 They will send members of Congress to D.C. who are explicit communists.

00:30:13.000 They will then vote for communism.

00:30:15.000 And you are going to have this increasing polarization where in the federal Congress, if Democrats win, they are going to vote for outright communist law.

00:30:24.000 That's going to result in Nebraska being like, no way will we abide by that federal law.

00:30:29.000 That's insane.

00:30:30.000 That's what geographic hyperpolarization is doing.

00:30:32.000 And the danger with Democrats winning in 2026 is not just that Trump gets impeached.

00:30:37.000 It's that you're actually going to have probably around 20% of the Democrats that come in being overt socialists and pushing bills and laws that will burn this country to the ground.

00:30:48.000 And to avoid the analogy innuendo, I will literally say they will enact policies that will extract value from the economy, that will drive up the national debt, disincentivize workers, incentivize mass immigration, which will displace low-skill workers.

00:31:06.000 Then they'll enact large minimum wage guarantees, which will destroy small businesses, and you will get a depression like that.

00:31:13.000 And then everyone starts fighting.

00:31:14.000 Yeah, I mean, I don't imagine that Donald Trump is going to be signing bills that the Democrats put on his desk.

00:31:20.000 But I do think that in the next election, the next presidential election, if a Democrat wins and the Democrats still have control of the House and Senate, you're going to see serious bad policy that will get instituted.

00:31:35.000 Like the Democrats still want to see Medicaid for all.

00:31:38.000 And you're $30 trillion in debt in this country.

00:31:42.000 There is no way we can afford that.

00:31:44.000 And if you implement that policy, it will destroy the value of the dollar.

00:31:49.000 And there's a lot of Hollywood donors right now that are pushing more for Gavin Newsom even more, despite the fact that he's made Hollywood pretty much untenable for them policy-wise.

00:31:58.000 And he's going to, he would be one of those candidates that would be able to put those types of policies into effect.

00:32:04.000 And it would be hard for Republicans to push back if they lose the House and the Senate.

00:32:08.000 Yeah.

00:32:09.000 Just the fact that they would have the control of the House means that, just like Tim was saying, impeachment stuff the entire time, there will be nothing that will get done.

00:32:18.000 People will blame the Republicans because they're going to say, oh, well, Donald Trump didn't get anything done.

00:32:23.000 He was in office for four years.

00:32:24.000 And it only makes it more likely that the Democrat wins in 2030. 0.97

00:32:28.000 Well, and people are kind of, they have an issue with Republicans right now because they feel like they can't get their crap together, right?

00:32:33.000 They feel like everybody's fighting with one another and nobody's presenting United Front and everybody's off on these side quests when they're not focusing on the things that they should be.

00:32:41.000 Yeah.

00:32:41.000 And the Democrats, they're really good.

00:32:43.000 They're much better at the Republicans at building up political capital and then spending it in various places.

00:32:48.000 The Republicans don't really understand this.

00:32:50.000 The Democrats understand that, hey, you can just battery farm foreigners in your country until you have the voter base to then push across the finish line stuff like Medicare for All. 0.85

00:32:57.000 Because all of this policy that they've been pushing over the last few decades, they had to wait till Obama to really start pushing.

00:33:02.000 All the Obama agenda policy was being discussed in the 1980s, but they had to wait.

00:33:06.000 They had to wait until they had the political capital built up to then cash in and start passing a lot of these different things.

00:33:11.000 And so that's exactly what's happening again.

00:33:12.000 They need to get back in control.

00:33:14.000 It's not going to be like day one where it's just going to be like they're going to be spraying and praying that they can keep the border open.

00:33:19.000 That allows them to rebuild the political capital they need to then spend on various nightmarish projects.

00:33:25.000 The big question, though, is, is the right unified?

00:33:29.000 We have the story from Mediight.

00:33:30.000 Charlie Kirk producer hits back at Candace Owens, accusing her of inciting harassment of those close to him.

00:33:37.000 Now, it is a bit, I don't know, drama to be talking about people instead of policy and politicians and not so much the politicians, but what they're doing.

00:33:46.000 But Turning Point did formally respond for the first time.

00:33:50.000 And the reason this story matters, it's not so much the people, it's is the right fractured?

00:33:56.000 And I'll tell you this right now.

00:33:57.000 The libertarians are already pissed at Trump.

00:34:00.000 And now MAGA is in internal wars following the death of Charlie Kirk.

00:34:04.000 There are people fighting each other left and right.

00:34:06.000 Marjorie Taylor Greene was unendorsed by Trump, then announced her resignation.

00:34:11.000 Then when Mike Cernovich tweeted at her, you need to serve your full term, she tweeted at him in the weirdest way, being like, men telling women to get in the kitchen and make a sandwich.

00:34:21.000 And it's like, actually, he's telling you to serve Congress.

00:34:24.000 I think it's kind of the opposite, but she's snapping off.

00:34:27.000 And now Candace Owens, of course, with the tweet she put out yesterday saying to demand a refront refund from the, quote, Godforsaken organization that is turning point USA, everything is being ripped apart.

00:34:39.000 It is creating a prime opportunity for Democrats to win because Democrats don't suffer these kinds of bifurcations.

00:34:47.000 They're cultists that that's how they're defined by their obedience to each other.

00:34:52.000 Don't forget all of your favorite right-wing influencers being exposed as being from India on X like last week. 0.51

00:35:00.000 Not only from India, but being paid by these, whatever this weird stuff is.

00:35:05.000 So we have this video.

00:35:06.000 This is from the Charlie Kirk show, and we'll play it for you here.

00:35:10.000 This is actually the tweet is Mikey McCoy says, not all that's done in the name of truth and justice promotes truth and accomplishes justice.

00:35:17.000 Thankful for the incredible Blake S. Neff and Dr. Frank Turek on the show today.

00:35:22.000 I'll be happy to address all of this in the live stream with you guys.

00:35:24.000 And here's the video.

00:35:26.000 We wanted to use this segment at the top of this hour to say something important, something very important.

00:35:32.000 For the past two and a half months, there is a topic that has flooded our Freedom Inbox.

00:35:37.000 It has been non-stop on social media, but which we have almost totally avoided on this show.

00:35:43.000 You probably already know what I'm talking about, which shows just how ubiquitous it has been.

00:35:50.000 Ever since Charlie's murder, Candace Owens has leveled a flood of allegations against people at Turning Point USA, people at Turning Point Action, and people who work for this show.

00:36:02.000 She has made them against some of Charlie's closest friends and against some of his most dedicated employees.

00:36:08.000 She has suggested that Michael McCoy, Charlie's chief of staff, knew Charlie would be murdered, was happy that he died, and stayed silent because he was told he would be the next Charlie.

00:36:19.000 She has suggested Michael is not his real name.

00:36:22.000 It is.

00:36:22.000 I have seen his birth certificate myself.

00:36:25.000 She has called it suspicious that Mikey's wife, who works at Turning Point, helped plan the campus tour event where Charlie was murdered, which she didn't, by the way.

00:36:33.000 She doesn't work on campus events.

00:36:36.000 Candace has suggested the Utah Valley University event was unusual and its details suggested a quote inside job.

00:36:44.000 She has claimed that foreign aircraft have followed Erica Kirk around the country and that Turning Point has lied about this happening.

00:36:51.000 She has accused us of lying about Charlie wanting Erica to take over for him if he died.

00:36:57.000 She has suggested Charlie's security team intentionally denied him first aid after the shooting to ensure that he died.

00:37:05.000 She has raised suspicions about the head of our technical team because he took an SD card out of a camera.

00:37:12.000 She has spread absurd claims that Tyler Boyer, who we just had on the show, sexually abuses male interns.

00:37:19.000 She has suggested that TPUSA faith-affiliated pastors like theologian Frank Turek, who we'll have on in a moment, and Pastor Rob McCoy are part of a military, quote, infiltration of Turning Point, either because they are veterans or because they have family members who are.

00:37:36.000 Even if not everyone has been named specifically, though, Candace has effectively tarred everyone here with complicity in Charlie's death by repeatedly saying he was, quote, betrayed by, quote, everyone.

00:37:50.000 She has said Charlie's murder, quote, had to be approved by Charlie's friends and then suggested those friends might have her murdered too for quote knowing the truth.

00:38:01.000 She has made claims of financial impropriety and fraud at Turning Point, adding up into the millions of dollars, which again is not true.

00:38:09.000 Charlie made sure the organization was audited by a third party every year.

00:38:13.000 He personally reviewed and he signed off on every expense report and literally every single bill paid by the organization down to a single United States dollar.

00:38:24.000 We have never missed a 990 deadline.

00:38:28.000 Candace has made other stranger allegations involving French paratroopers in maroon shirts, Egyptian Air Force planes flying out of Provo, Utah, and potential underground assassins traveling through unseen tunnels.

00:38:40.000 At one point in early November, she started wildly throwing suspicion on members of Utah Valley's soccer team for wearing hoodies.

00:38:50.000 I could go on.

00:38:51.000 There is always something new coming up, and none of it ever pans out because from the start, there has been nothing there.

00:38:59.000 The attacks and allegations from Candace are either lies or they are innuendos thrown around with a total, reckless disregard for the truth so that Candace can manipulate and string along an audience of people who don't realize they are being played.

00:39:15.000 Instead of being able to grieve properly after one of the most heinous murders in American history, a murder many of us had to witness, my friends have had to endure harassment from people who have gotten whipped up by what Candace is saying.

00:39:30.000 In fact, I would say we have suffered more harassment from these people than we have from Antifa supporters who overtly celebrate Charlie's murder.

00:39:39.000 And just like a lot of those Antifa members, many of these people take this delight in how gross and unpleasant they can be.

00:39:47.000 What our friends have had to endure is not funny and it's not insignificant.

00:39:52.000 It is evil.

00:39:53.000 I have seen it.

00:39:55.000 For months, we have received hundreds, thousands, I suspect, emails and calls asking us to respond.

00:40:02.000 People have wanted us to invite Candace on the show, but for a long time, our approach was to say nothing.

00:40:09.000 We did that for several reasons.

00:40:13.000 First, we thought that her prevarications were so absurd that nobody would believe them.

00:40:18.000 We shouldn't have to answer questions about secret tunnels or Egyptian Air Force planes.

00:40:24.000 That sort of thing is just, it's beneath contempt to respond to.

00:40:28.000 The second reason we've said so little, though, is because there's a good rule of thumb which Charlie followed.

00:40:33.000 Do not feed the trolls.

00:40:35.000 Focus on the mission.

00:40:36.000 Reviving America, uplifting young people, making heaven crowded. 0.94

00:40:40.000 Don't give air to people who want to tear you down and sow discord.

00:40:45.000 Lastly, we didn't respond because Charlie always viewed Candace as a friend, and we were holding out hope that she would return that friendship and stop what she was doing.

00:40:59.000 But a week from now, it's going to be three months since Charlie's murder.

00:41:03.000 Candace has not changed her behavior.

00:41:06.000 She has continued to spread falsehoods about Charlie's friends, and she continues to concoct new ones about new people.

00:41:14.000 She's using these falsehoods to enrich herself while dividing the conservative movement at an absolutely critical time for this country. 0.97

00:41:22.000 And far too often, we here have heard from ordinary people, people who loved Charlie and who Charlie loved so much in return.

00:41:30.000 These people have expressed the worry that we are staying silent out of cowardice or as some sort of tacit admission that some of the attacks are true.

00:41:38.000 Neither is the case.

00:41:40.000 Our silence has never been and it will never be equal to complacency or approval.

00:41:47.000 Still, we decided Charlie would not allow this to go on.

00:41:51.000 Charlie was not a coward.

00:41:53.000 Charlie was a fighter.

00:41:55.000 Charlie would not allow someone to spread lies about the people closest to him with impunity.

00:42:01.000 And he would feel ashamed if other people were stepping up to defend his friends while he never did so himself.

00:42:09.000 Candace has mentioned several times that the ball is in our court.

00:42:14.000 So here's what is going to happen.

00:42:16.000 In the near future, there will be a live stream here in Phoenix where we address in a clear and comprehensive way the claims and accusations, the false accusations that have been made against Charlie's family, friends, and the people here at Turning Point.

00:42:31.000 We plan to walk through everything carefully and thoroughly.

00:42:34.000 If Candace is available, we would sincerely welcome her participation in that live stream at our studio here in Phoenix.

00:42:42.000 At this point, we believe the ball is back in her court.

00:42:47.000 Our motivation for doing this is not out of any obligation to Candace.

00:42:51.000 It is about honoring Charlie.

00:42:53.000 We feel a deep responsibility to protect his legacy, his work, and the truth.

00:42:58.000 I feel that.

00:42:59.000 I owe Charlie everything in my life.

00:43:03.000 I feel it immensely.

00:43:06.000 And that is why we feel compelled to speak clearly and openly now.

00:43:10.000 We'll have more on this in the near future.

00:43:13.000 It is entirely possible that moving into this election season, we saw this with the Ron DeSantis fracturing, the conservatives, Trump-based fracturing.

00:43:24.000 Some were saying Trump's got to return.

00:43:25.000 Some were saying Ron DeSantis is the guy.

00:43:27.000 Before Trump announced he was coming back, I said I liked Ron DeSantis, would probably support him.

00:43:31.000 This is like 2022.

00:43:32.000 Then Trump announced he was coming back, and I said he's improved.

00:43:36.000 He's got better demeanor, better behavior.

00:43:38.000 And DeSantis really flubbed it.

00:43:41.000 Still, there is this fracture that exists, but it's like there's like a tacit alliance between those who are just traditional conservatives supporting DeSantis, getting behind Trump even though they don't really like him.

00:43:52.000 I think by the time the midterm comes around, there's a strong probability everyone's back on the same page because the Democrats are going to be coming out with insane policies that we all find ourselves at odds with.

00:44:02.000 However, as of right now, everything is fractured.

00:44:06.000 And I do think, I think Turning Point has, to a certain degree, some responsibility, not nearly to the degree that Candace Owens does, but and responsibility in they don't have what Charlie had.

00:44:20.000 Charlie is gone.

00:44:21.000 And without Charlie, you lose what made Turning Point and what built this coalition.

00:44:28.000 So when I say responsibility, I just mean like an organization without its captain is not going to do as well.

00:44:33.000 And there already are divisions forming.

00:44:36.000 That is, and take for it, whatever you will, the issues that we've had with Turning Point where, you know, we're not going to be there for whatever reason.

00:44:44.000 They've asked us to come back.

00:44:46.000 It's not possible at this point.

00:44:47.000 We have other commitments.

00:44:48.000 Then you have Candace Owens, who is doing everything in her power to destroy Turning Point, which is the principal unifying force, though it has faltered a little bit.

00:44:59.000 This division exists.

00:45:00.000 There are people I see on social media saying there's no division on the right.

00:45:02.000 MAGA's unified.

00:45:04.000 The left is trying to sow division.

00:45:05.000 Oh, it is, it is, it is fried.

00:45:09.000 It is ripped asunder.

00:45:10.000 I mean, Tucker Carlson versus, you know, the Babylon B guys and the Megan Kelly thing they posted.

00:45:18.000 There's no unified right at all.

00:45:21.000 It is now a disparate faction of various anti-left, like non-left groups.

00:45:28.000 And whether they come together around their candidates, I don't know.

00:45:31.000 What I can say is there's, I know my rep. So when the midterm comes up, I already know who I'm voting for, right?

00:45:39.000 Riley Moore is fantastic, and it's nothing to do with whatever it is that's going on here.

00:45:42.000 So that might not speak to the midterms in the same way.

00:45:45.000 But there may be a lot of people that can't get behind the same candidates, and this division can result in people staying home.

00:45:53.000 Absolutely.

00:45:54.000 I mean, if people feel like there's no kind of unified voice on the right, they're definitely not going to go out to vote.

00:46:01.000 It's hard enough to get them to vote in the off, you know, the off-terms anyways.

00:46:04.000 You know, do you think some of this is because I don't follow the story?

00:46:09.000 I don't, but it's crazy because my ex-fee is just full of people talking about this.

00:46:13.000 And I just, I don't have any interest in following along with Candace Owens stuff.

00:46:18.000 Is it kept to Twitter, to X?

00:46:20.000 Is this something where it's not going to make its way into the real world?

00:46:24.000 No, it's everywhere.

00:46:26.000 It's everywhere.

00:46:27.000 And I think, like Candace tweeted at me earlier, and this is what she does.

00:46:35.000 Some account took a quote from Tim Castirelle out of context where we were discussing Candace Owens reportedly makes $10 million per year.

00:46:43.000 That's what Fortune said.

00:46:45.000 And the greater context for you guys watching, you already know this because you watched the show, was that does she really make $10 million?

00:46:52.000 Well, based on the views that she gets, she does one show that gets like 2 million views.

00:46:57.000 We do a bunch of smaller shows.

00:46:59.000 If we did one show, maybe it would be 60, 70% the size of hers. 0.97

00:47:02.000 We make more than 10 million.

00:47:03.000 I think Candace probably makes more than $10 million. 1.00

00:47:05.000 That was the context.

00:47:07.000 In that statement, I mentioned some people are obsessed with status, so they'll bot.

00:47:10.000 I didn't say she did.

00:47:11.000 They took it out of context, cut out the beginning where I literally say she doesn't bot.

00:47:15.000 She has a mass appeal so that she could then, or not so that, but that then she takes it. 0.95

00:47:22.000 And they're offering money now for proof that we bought.

00:47:25.000 She is, and of course, she didn't actually tweet Tim Poole does thing, or she uses vagaries because as I explained earlier this morning, a politician can't come out and say, if you vote for me, I will do thing to Social Security. 0.60

00:47:42.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:47:44.000 All of a sudden, you've got 775,000 people in your district and 100,000 are saying, what do you mean you're going to change the scheduling for social?

00:47:51.000 You can't do that.

00:47:52.000 That's going to screw me up.

00:47:53.000 So how do you do it?

00:47:55.000 You say, vote for me and I will fix Social Security.

00:47:58.000 Ask me how.

00:48:00.000 How will I fix it?

00:48:02.000 You don't know.

00:48:02.000 The first thing I'm going to do when I get in there is I'm going to go to these politicians and tell them you stop messing with it.

00:48:09.000 My people need their Social Security.

00:48:11.000 It needs to be fixed for the younger generation, for the older generation.

00:48:14.000 You don't actually say anything.

00:48:15.000 Otherwise, people get mad.

00:48:16.000 If you keep it as vague as possible, then people fill the gaps in themselves.

00:48:20.000 That's what President Obama did with the Hope and Change.

00:48:23.000 That phrase was plastered everywhere, and everybody that saw it internalized it and decided what hope and change meant to them.

00:48:32.000 And there was no actual message from the Obama.

00:48:36.000 Like Kamala Harris forward.

00:48:38.000 What does that mean?

00:48:39.000 It's because we're dealing with the lowest common denominator society. 0.93

00:48:43.000 So right now, another thing that I explained, as I explained in great detail why Candace is not botting, is that you can choose to diversify your content and try and find things that are appealing because politics is boring. 0.95

00:48:56.000 Hey, the raccoon story.

00:48:58.000 To be honest, our concurrent viewership is lower today from choosing to do that, but I don't care.

00:49:02.000 I thought it was funny.

00:49:04.000 And, you know, I mean, it is what it is.

00:49:07.000 We talked about it before the show.

00:49:08.000 I said if we do the raccoon thing, we're not going to have many viewers, but it's funny and we should talk about it because it matters.

00:49:12.000 But Candace is going the other route. 1.00

00:49:14.000 As vague as possible, as terrifying, true drama, true crimey, emotional, female-coded that she can. 0.85

00:49:21.000 I mean, and I really do recommend y'all watch her episode from yesterday where she was in love with Charlie Kirk.

00:49:27.000 Again, I clarify, I am not saying this derisively.

00:49:30.000 The way she describes, I'm going to say it again.

00:49:33.000 She's like, I texted him saying, I feel like an alien.

00:49:36.000 And he said, I feel like a time traveler.

00:49:37.000 And I'm like, yeah, that's romance novel stuff.

00:49:39.000 No, for real.

00:49:40.000 That's like romance novel writing for women where it's just like he looked at me and said, I must be like a time traveller and you're my alien.

00:49:47.000 And she was like, I was his wingman telling him what to wear.

00:49:50.000 You know, honestly, it sounds like she loved Charlie.

00:49:53.000 Charlie chose someone else.

00:49:55.000 And now she wants to burn down the world all around Charlie Kirk because she couldn't have it.

00:50:00.000 Rough.

00:50:02.000 But I mean, I mean, in all seriousness, I think that's maybe reading a little bit too much.

00:50:02.000 Rough.

00:50:06.000 I think really she's just like, how can I get views?

00:50:09.000 You know what I mean?

00:50:12.000 Like, what if I said the assassination plot against me?

00:50:16.000 You know what she tweeted?

00:50:17.000 It was really funny.

00:50:17.000 She said, I can now say with full confidence that I believe.

00:50:21.000 She said that.

00:50:22.000 I can now state with full confidence that I believe Turning Point betrayed Charlie.

00:50:26.000 Wait, wait.

00:50:27.000 State with full confidence that you believe.

00:50:31.000 Why was there a point at which you weren't sure if you believed something?

00:50:34.000 Like, these are the vagaries of sentences that allow you to get by.

00:50:38.000 Like, I can say right now with 100% certainty, there is 100% certainty within my heart that I believe Candace Owens is trying to kill me.

00:50:51.000 Right?

00:50:52.000 You get the point.

00:50:52.000 It's that way.

00:50:54.000 She can't sue me for defamation.

00:50:56.000 Well, I never said I believed she actually, I've confirmed it.

00:50:59.000 I said I confirmed that I believe it.

00:51:01.000 And I can believe whatever I want.

00:51:02.000 Can't sue me for that.

00:51:03.000 From everything that I've seen, it just seems like she's fantastic at telling the story that she's telling when she's doing her job.

00:51:08.000 She's very good at what she does. 0.99

00:51:10.000 I don't know the validity of anything that's going on, but from the reaction she gets from the people that listen, she obviously strikes a chord with a lot of people.

00:51:17.000 Oh, there's a lot of people that are that are, you know, in my ex post or there's people, a lot of people in the, in the chat as well that are like very committed to the story that Candace is alluding to with no actual, you know, there's no, there's no there there.

00:51:31.000 She's not actually saying anything.

00:51:32.000 Well, that all kinds of innuendo.

00:51:34.000 That was a great point from Blake where he's like, she keeps, she'll say something and then abandon the storyline.

00:51:42.000 You know, it's like these planes, what's going on?

00:51:44.000 And then a day later, it's just, it's not even a thing anymore.

00:51:47.000 And now she's jumping back in time and being like, I heard Colvette was going to make millions off a deal with BB. 1.00

00:51:52.000 And Colvett's like, what deal?

00:51:53.000 There's no deal with BB.

00:51:55.000 And it's like, sure, I don't know.

00:51:56.000 Maybe he's lying, but why is she going back in time now to a previous statement?

00:51:59.000 Because it's just, it actually is remarkable because we talked about the other day when we were listening to her show.

00:52:06.000 She talks for a long period of time without actually saying anything of substance.

00:52:10.000 And I'm like, I guess that makes it easy to understand if you have a low reading comprehension, which is most people.

00:52:14.000 I'm not trying to insult most people, but that is most people.

00:52:17.000 So you're going to get mass appeal if you intentionally speak in a I'll put it this way.

00:52:25.000 Say as little as possible, but as many with as many words as you can.

00:52:31.000 But this is also politics adjacent to, this is a horrifying, tragic event that's adjacent to politics.

00:52:37.000 And a lot of people consume politics now as sort of a spectator sport anyways.

00:52:42.000 It's no longer something that people look into critically.

00:52:44.000 They just want to see their side win.

00:52:46.000 And this is kind of adjacent to that in a way, which means it's hit people a specific heart.

00:52:51.000 Yeah.

00:52:52.000 But I also do think there's an element of main character syndrome among the average person.

00:52:58.000 And this nobody wants to believe that the world is boring.

00:53:04.000 And it's kind of funny because the world's actually pretty dang crazy if you're tracking all these stories.

00:53:08.000 But everybody wants to believe something fantastic instead of just that most people aren't part of any nefarious conspiracy plot.

00:53:18.000 They do exist, but not always.

00:53:21.000 You know, like Bowman came and pulled the fire alarm thing off the door.

00:53:25.000 I don't think he got into a secret cabal meeting in a skiff and plotted it.

00:53:28.000 He just impulsively did it.

00:53:30.000 I mean, I actually do think that the world is for the most part pretty boring.

00:53:34.000 Like a lot of times when we talk about this stuff, it's like you're curating news all day.

00:53:37.000 You're gathering stuff from across the country, whereas back in the day, you maybe saw your local paper, maybe you got some national news, but you didn't get the amount of access you have to just unbelievable amounts of information, which means now the world feels like it's more crazy and haphazard than it actually is.

00:53:54.000 So we got a super chat from Wyatt Caldenberg who says, just the cyber right cares, people in the real world are unfamiliar with Candace Owens, Tim Poole turning point.

00:54:01.000 This is just cyber drama.

00:54:02.000 It's not real.

00:54:03.000 You are wrong, my brother.

00:54:07.000 This was just over the holidays.

00:54:09.000 All I was doing was going out and bumping into random people.

00:54:13.000 And I mentioned this the other day.

00:54:15.000 I was at a steakhouse and I overheard people talking about a civil war because of the shooting in D.C.

00:54:20.000 This is major news.

00:54:21.000 All of this stuff is tied together.

00:54:23.000 And people used to say for a long time, Twitter is not real life.

00:54:26.000 And it was technically correct because it wasn't in the seats of power.

00:54:30.000 But as young people have aged into those seats of power, corporations and politics, that worldview absolutely is real life.

00:54:38.000 And, yo, I'll just say this.

00:54:42.000 Out in the middle, like we've had issues with skateboarding.

00:54:46.000 I go to a skate park and people are putting flyers of my face up.

00:54:50.000 It is absolutely everywhere in the real world.

00:54:52.000 There are people who made t-shirts of my face and they wear them at skate parks.

00:54:57.000 They're not fans.

00:54:58.000 They hate me.

00:54:59.000 So they made t-shirts with my face on it.

00:55:01.000 This stuff absolutely does make it.

00:55:03.000 I was playing poker on Saturday and there's three young guys and they brought up Candace Owens.

00:55:08.000 Candace Owens comes up, all them.

00:55:10.000 I was eating in a steakhouse, and there was a group of construction worker guys.

00:55:14.000 And when they got up to leave, they recognized me.

00:55:16.000 And one guy said, You really think Charlie's dead?

00:55:21.000 You really think, wow.

00:55:22.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:55:22.000 And I said, Yes, I do.

00:55:24.000 I mean, we like our team knows his team.

00:55:26.000 Like, I was on the phone with some of them.

00:55:28.000 They were freaking out when it happened.

00:55:29.000 This is, and you know, one of the things I was talking, I can't remember what I'm talking about.

00:55:34.000 Is it maybe Jeremy Hambley or Jack Pesobic?

00:55:36.000 I was like, guys, this is regular people listening to this stuff.

00:55:42.000 This is mainstream entertainment.

00:55:44.000 The question is, though, how do you dissuade people from believing this kind of stuff?

00:55:49.000 You know, someone says, always, do you really believe Charlie Kirk is dead?

00:55:52.000 What evidence are you ever going to present to, you know, to prove to someone that he actually is dead?

00:56:00.000 I mean, I don't imagine that there is any evidence because people have already convinced themselves that, you know, even though they don't have any kind of hard facts, they're like, well, you know, and then they look at all the implications or all the innuendo and they're like, well, that does it for me.

00:56:17.000 You see it all the time.

00:56:18.000 People say, oh, you know, this is the way that it's got to be.

00:56:21.000 You can present all kinds of evidence to the contrary.

00:56:24.000 And they're like, well, you know, we saw it with the JFK files.

00:56:27.000 You saw, you know, people were like, oh, you know, that it was Israel that did it. 0.52

00:56:32.000 And there was very, there was almost no mention of Israel in the JFK files, but people that believe that it was Israel, they're like, well, the fact that they're not in there proves it.

00:56:40.000 You know, right.

00:56:42.000 Yeah.

00:56:42.000 They were, yeah, when the JFK files came out, there was a viral tweet where it was like, anyone notice anything weird?

00:56:48.000 Which country wasn't named?

00:56:50.000 And then all the comments and replies are like, whoa, Israel's not anywhere in the files.

00:56:55.000 And it's just like, oh my god, the absence of evidence is proof. 0.95

00:56:58.000 Holy crap. 0.94

00:56:59.000 JFK refused to touch the walls. 0.99

00:57:02.000 That's right.

00:57:03.000 Sure.

00:57:03.000 Yeah.

00:57:04.000 But I mean, the unfortunate thing is there's enough ambiguity in general around political murders, right?

00:57:11.000 Like, or attempted political murders, you know, the Trump assassinations, for example.

00:57:15.000 I mean, we haven't had the full story.

00:57:17.000 Very obviously haven't had the full story.

00:57:21.000 You know, and there are elements of the Charlie Kirk assassination that are ambiguous or questions or leads that haven't been followed.

00:57:28.000 It's people filling in the blanks.

00:57:30.000 It's wishful thinking.

00:57:31.000 But I mean, I just, there's just this general atmosphere, I think, of distrust that you just can't really do anything about.

00:57:39.000 And I mean, I kind of feel sorry for the turning point people having to address it in such depth because the more information that they give, actually, it's more for people to seize on.

00:57:50.000 We never missed the tax filing.

00:57:52.000 I mean, people are going to start to scrutinize the tax filings.

00:57:55.000 Well, they're already doing it. 0.98

00:57:56.000 Holy crap, man. 0.96

00:57:57.000 There was a video today. 0.98

00:57:59.000 I got a, I reacted to it.

00:58:01.000 I did a video where I watched it and I called him out.

00:58:03.000 There's this guy.

00:58:05.000 What's his channel?

00:58:06.000 I'm going to pull it up.

00:58:07.000 Explosive.

00:58:08.000 More fraud. 1.00

00:58:09.000 These people are evil. 0.99

00:58:12.000 Okay. 0.98

00:58:12.000 I don't care if you're on the left, you're on the right. 0.98

00:58:13.000 I don't care if you're a Republican, if you're a Democrat.

00:58:16.000 Wolves and finance.

00:58:17.000 He's got 292,000 subscribers.

00:58:19.000 Shout out.

00:58:19.000 You're getting attention from us.

00:58:22.000 This guy claims to be an accountant and he looks into these filings from Turning Point because lo and behold, it's funny.

00:58:31.000 He goes in the first video he made, which I largely debunked.

00:58:35.000 Not completely.

00:58:35.000 There's some points he makes that are interesting.

00:58:37.000 He's like, where are the 990 forms for three of Turning Point's shell companies?

00:58:41.000 They were supposed to be filed in May.

00:58:43.000 He says, they're missing.

00:58:45.000 They're missing.

00:58:46.000 No, they got filed in October, most likely, which means they weren't going to be made available for public review until they were reviewed themselves by the IRS.

00:58:53.000 And the government was shut down.

00:58:55.000 So now that they're available and you can read them, he says they've mysteriously appeared.

00:59:00.000 How convenient.

00:59:01.000 I'm like, no.

00:59:03.000 It's a month after the October filing date.

00:59:05.000 It's just narrative and framing.

00:59:05.000 Okay.

00:59:06.000 It's exactly why people are good at what they do. 0.79

00:59:09.000 And I'm going to tell you why this guy is a liar, and he really crossed the line with this video. 0.89

00:59:13.000 I'm just, I'm sick of this stuff, dude. 1.00

00:59:15.000 This is why people are saying F politics because it's all a bunch of scumbags. 1.00

00:59:20.000 This guy claims an accountant. 0.98

00:59:22.000 Well, in his video, he says there's a company called 110 LLC, and they received over three years $1.4 million for social digital ad placement.

00:59:32.000 He then says, I went to the address and it's a parking lot.

00:59:36.000 It's a parking lot.

00:59:38.000 They can't just send money to a parking lot.

00:59:40.000 I'm here.

00:59:41.000 Where's the business?

00:59:42.000 There's no business called 110 LLC. 0.97

00:59:45.000 The reason why I'm calling him a scumbag and a liar is because as an accountant who goes over tax filings, he would know this. 0.96

00:59:50.000 And a lot of people don't. 0.98

00:59:52.000 There are a lot of people who don't know how filing a corporation works.

00:59:52.000 I get it.

00:59:56.000 We here at Timcast have probably 20 or 30 corporations because different pieces of intellectual property sometimes require their own limited liability corporation for a variety of reasons.

01:00:04.000 Tim, if you went to our address, our corporate address, you'd be like, where's the business?

01:00:10.000 I don't see a building that says Timcast on it.

01:00:12.000 What about Casper Coffee?

01:00:14.000 You find a building that says Casper Coffee on it.

01:00:16.000 So what he found is there is a politician in Arizona who uses this address and all of the suites listed for this business and others and has received payment from Turning Point.

01:00:28.000 He then pulls in and says, why are they sending money to a parking lot?

01:00:33.000 This is manipulation.

01:00:35.000 They're not.

01:00:36.000 They're sending money to a corporation whose registered address is at a strip mall, likely owned by an individual who utilizes their mail intake for business registration.

01:00:48.000 While this guy is claiming it's money going to a parking lot because this is how they manipulate people, Candace Owens also pointed out that her own lawyers are operating out of the same building as the feds. 0.99

01:01:00.000 And when asked about it, she said, it's just a registered agent.

01:01:04.000 So you simultaneously have in the comments, I think the first comment is earlier today, one of the comments was people insulted Candace for covering for calling this out.

01:01:16.000 You can't believe both.

01:01:19.000 That you can't have a registered address and that Candace can have a registered address. 0.98

01:01:24.000 If you believe that Turning Point was sending $1.4 million, Charlie Kirk's orders, by the way, that's his claim, to a parking lot, and the insinuation is that it's to pay off a politician because they're crooked, then Candace Owens works with the feds. 1.00

01:01:40.000 Candace Owens is a Fed. 1.00

01:01:42.000 And by all means, you choose your poison.

01:01:44.000 If Candace has, if her lawyers are working in the same building as the feds, then I'd say she's a fed because she chose this legal, this company. 0.67

01:01:53.000 She chose this law firm.

01:01:54.000 Why would she do it?

01:01:55.000 Oh, wait a minute.

01:01:56.000 No.

01:01:57.000 It's a Delaware address utilized by tons of corporations, including some federal agencies and many law firms.

01:02:04.000 And they don't actually work there.

01:02:05.000 It's just a registered agent.

01:02:07.000 Oh, well, that makes sense, right?

01:02:09.000 Okay, well, then this guy is playing the opposite game.

01:02:12.000 So you pick which lie it is.

01:02:14.000 That's why I'm sick of all of this stuff.

01:02:16.000 People are wondering why we chose to lead with raccoons today. 0.98

01:02:19.000 It's because this space is starting to fill up with desperate con artists, grifters, and scammers who are going to lie to you, manipulate you because you're ignorant of corporate filings. 0.96

01:02:32.000 That's not an insult. 0.92

01:02:33.000 Many of you don't understand what you have to do to file for a C Corp S Corp L L C L L P, etc.

01:02:38.000 Some of the things you may not have even heard of.

01:02:39.000 Many of you already know exactly what it is.

01:02:41.000 This guy says, I'm an accountant.

01:02:43.000 He knows exactly what he's talking about.

01:02:44.000 So when he makes a video like this, he's intending to deceive you because he gets 200,000 views on this and puts cash in his pocket.

01:02:51.000 I'm so over all of this stuff, man.

01:02:53.000 You want to talk about immigration and tax policy fine, but you know what?

01:02:57.000 The reality is you guys, our dedicated audience, clearly do care.

01:03:01.000 Most people don't.

01:03:03.000 They want drama, WWE BS, and they want to believe what they want to believe, and they don't want the truth.

01:03:10.000 Yeah, that's the TMZification of media.

01:03:13.000 I mean, it's a complete disaster because this is very serious stuff we're discussing.

01:03:16.000 We're discussing the country that's going to be left behind for your children.

01:03:20.000 That's what's at stake right now.

01:03:22.000 And people, yeah, they just want the slop.

01:03:25.000 They want the slop because it's entertaining.

01:03:27.000 It's very effeminate. 0.99

01:03:28.000 I mean, you can tell that the space is being dominated by women and like gay guys because the types of stuff being covered is ridiculous, unproductive, counterproductive, actually. 0.99

01:03:36.000 Because I don't know if you checked the last election result, Trump's president. 0.98

01:03:39.000 We have three years left to mop this mess up.

01:03:42.000 Not even.

01:03:43.000 If we don't win the midterms, they're going to start a new committee.

01:03:48.000 They're going to start rounding up people like Steve Bannon again.

01:03:51.000 Was it Bannon who said this?

01:03:52.000 He's like, I'll go to prison.

01:03:53.000 And many of you in this room will as well.

01:03:55.000 And so at this point, I mean, I got to say, like, this guy, I imagine what he's doing is he's like, oh boy, I'm going to get so many views from this.

01:04:04.000 That's why he's doing it.

01:04:06.000 And Candace, very much the same.

01:04:07.000 That's why for nearly three months, she has just said incoherent nonsense because it gets her views and makes her money.

01:04:14.000 And as the system burns down, we all suffer for it.

01:04:17.000 And that's why I think the left, for all we can complain about, they're willing to stand arm in arm and burn everything down.

01:04:26.000 The right is full of people who are going to run ads for gambling websites and soda products and then shill for India.

01:04:34.000 You know, I mean, a lot of times I think that it's because the people that are in the space on the right that are looking to capitalize on whatever is the hot topic, they don't have a particular belief in anything.

01:04:45.000 And I think this kind of goes back to a bit of what we were talking about yesterday with Nick, probably in the after show.

01:04:51.000 The right needs to figure out what it's for.

01:04:54.000 You know, what exactly are the goals of the right?

01:04:58.000 I don't even know if that's possible because there's such a widespread amount of views of the world on the right.

01:05:04.000 I don't think that you can all coalesce around that idea.

01:05:06.000 I think the individual nature of right-wing personalities makes that harder to do.

01:05:11.000 I think you, to a degree, you have a point because the MAGA coalition is considered the right nowadays.

01:05:16.000 But the argument between Dave Rubin and I forget who it was that he was talking to, but there are people that have very different views and they coalesce because they're against the woke.

01:05:29.000 They were against what the left had been doing.

01:05:31.000 And now, because the right is fairly ascendant and has political power, the right really needs to be able to deliver a coherent message as to what it is that the right stands for.

01:05:42.000 And that argument is being had.

01:05:44.000 Like we were talking about Oren McIntyre and other people in the space that are actually having real conversations about what is it that the right wants to do.

01:05:53.000 Well, it's why everyone scratches their heads.

01:05:55.000 Like when Trump's not on the ballot, Republicans perform poorly.

01:05:58.000 Everyone's scratching their heads.

01:05:59.000 Why is that?

01:06:00.000 Well, it's because Republicans define themselves and what they're against.

01:06:03.000 They define themselves and what they're opposed to.

01:06:05.000 Trump is the only figure in the GOP over the last 10 years that has provided a vision for America, that's provided what he is for, what he is pro.

01:06:12.000 And that's just like fundamentally politics 101 is you have to provide something that people can buy into.

01:06:17.000 This is what Reagan did.

01:06:18.000 I mean, you go back to Nixon.

01:06:19.000 This is what Nixon did.

01:06:20.000 Like these are conservative agendas that you can pass that are pro things rather than just holding back the Democrats.

01:06:27.000 That's fundamentally what Republicans have been for the last 50 years.

01:06:30.000 I understand why that's been a motivation for so many people because the things that the left has been pushing have been basically abhorrent to families, to a productive, successful society.

01:06:42.000 And so, yes, it has been a good thing that there's been a broad coalition on the right or in the not left, if you want to call it that, that have stood up against the things that the left was pushing until we get an actual coherent message.

01:06:57.000 I think this kind of backbiting and fighting is going to be predominant.

01:07:01.000 I'm going to grab one super chat that just came in before we jump to the next story.

01:07:04.000 And it's Hugh.

01:07:05.000 He says, Tim, I work in construction and experience the same thing.

01:07:08.000 My coworkers are all in on the Charlie Kirk conspiracies.

01:07:11.000 If the Republicans lose in the midterms, I believe that Candace Owens is wholly responsible.

01:07:18.000 She is one of the biggest podcasts on the right doing everything to go to war with the organization that helped get Trump elected.

01:07:28.000 Turning point specifically was going out and registering people to vote.

01:07:33.000 Without Charlie, it's in trouble.

01:07:36.000 Turning point needs to be able to go out and rally young people and register them to vote.

01:07:40.000 And she's doing everything she can to destroy that.

01:07:43.000 And that is going to, I suppose, it's going to rip out the coffers on the right.

01:07:51.000 There is no organization like Turning Point that exists anywhere else that has the resources and the reach.

01:07:57.000 And without Charlie, I'm not sure that they can make it.

01:07:59.000 But I can tell you this, Candace lighting a Molotov and throwing it through the window is not helping.

01:08:04.000 And it's the most demoralizing thing ever. 1.00

01:08:08.000 Additionally, all of the fucking cowards on the right who are too scared to say anything about her because she tweets at me talking shit or whatever. 1.00

01:08:18.000 And then a bunch of people come and flood our chat. 1.00

01:08:20.000 I could give a single flying fuck. 1.00

01:08:23.000 You can come and you can burn everything I have to the ground and I will happily live in a van down by the river. 1.00

01:08:29.000 I don't care to be number one.

01:08:30.000 I don't need to be number one.

01:08:31.000 What I care about is what is true and what will help this country and what works. 1.00

01:08:36.000 And she is a fucking scumbag. 1.00

01:08:38.000 And she's getting worse every day. 1.00

01:08:38.000 Okay. 1.00

01:08:41.000 And she crossed the line.

01:08:42.000 She continually crosses the line every day, insinuating that Turning Point literally killed the guy who made them all rich. 1.00

01:08:49.000 And I have to, and I hear this in the streets. 0.99

01:08:51.000 And at a certain point, I'm like, holy shit, we're going to lose the midterms. 0.99

01:08:57.000 We're going to lose the midterms. 0.99

01:08:59.000 Then we're going to lose in 2028. 1.00

01:09:00.000 And it's because she's a piece of shit. 1.00

01:09:02.000 Because instead of saying, guys, let's come together and figure out how to work together. 1.00

01:09:06.000 She says the stupidest retarded crap. 1.00

01:09:09.000 And now everybody's running around divided and broken. 1.00

01:09:12.000 For what reason?

01:09:14.000 For literally what reason?

01:09:16.000 Now, guess what?

01:09:18.000 I'm not on the best of terms with Turning Point either.

01:09:21.000 In case you didn't remember, they didn't invite us this year and it's become a big thing or whatever.

01:09:27.000 I have nothing.

01:09:28.000 I can say I know what they are.

01:09:30.000 I know what they do.

01:09:31.000 And I'm glad they do it.

01:09:32.000 And if we don't get along, so be it.

01:09:34.000 I don't know that they make it without Charlie, whatever. 0.99

01:09:37.000 But what is the purpose of intentionally fanning the flames for three endless months of just nonstop retard shit, Candace? 1.00

01:09:48.000 Holy crap. 0.99

01:09:49.000 You know, initially in the beginning, she brought up some interesting things. 0.95

01:09:51.000 New photos had emerged and I said, wow, I even said this to Andrew Colvett at Turning Point at the beginning of October.

01:09:57.000 Now she's at the point where it is video after video where she's saying it's an inside job.

01:10:02.000 She's saying like, there's a video of the dude, Mikey McCoy, grabbing his phone and making a phone call.

01:10:06.000 And she's acting like that's weird.

01:10:09.000 And then you get this other guy who's claiming that the business is a parking lot.

01:10:12.000 Well, he full well knows business can be registered anywhere.

01:10:16.000 To be fair, it's not only just Candace and saying what she's saying.

01:10:20.000 It is all of these people who are like piranhas ripping the right to shreds.

01:10:26.000 And you know what? 0.98

01:10:27.000 A lot of cowards on the right being unwilling to say anything about it. 0.96

01:10:31.000 Well, this is where we go. 0.92

01:10:32.000 The Democrats are trying to find a way back to reality.

01:10:36.000 They published this thing where they said, oh, we've got to, you know, it's called deciding to win.

01:10:41.000 And they said we have to address kitchen table issues.

01:10:44.000 Like hell, I would ever vote for someone like Elizabeth Warren or Gavin Newsom.

01:10:48.000 But what I think is likely to start occurring now is the grifter right is cannibalizing itself. 0.63

01:10:54.000 You are going to see the right now move from a populist base more to a neocon base.

01:10:58.000 Democrats are going to go to war internally over the far left.

01:11:01.000 And you'll see the emergence now of these deciding to win types, which, like Stephen A. Smith, will start agreeing with people like me and Joe Rogan.

01:11:09.000 And they're going to try and win back the ground.

01:11:12.000 And they're going to utilize the absurdity psycho reality of Candace Owens to rip people from the right so that Democrats can start winning again. 1.00

01:11:19.000 And that is the reality the right has to contend with.

01:11:22.000 Conservatives had a coalition.

01:11:24.000 Charlie helped build it.

01:11:25.000 Disaffected liberals came on board.

01:11:27.000 People like Candace are intentionally burning it to the ground. 1.00

01:11:30.000 Stephen A. Smith is coming out.

01:11:31.000 Bill Maher, even now coming out more reasonably.

01:11:34.000 The Democrats are going to reemerge.

01:11:37.000 Those that sold their souls for woke and to COVID are going to lose out and they're going to retire.

01:11:42.000 The AOC types, you're going to see her desperately try to moderate, but we're going to see in these swing districts, they're going to try. 1.00

01:11:49.000 Now, that being said, hyperpolarization, as I've already described, may affect New York and Los Angeles and Chicago.

01:11:54.000 So we will see.

01:11:55.000 Maybe it all just gets ripped apart anyway, and you end up with 15 different factions all fighting for power in the federal government.

01:12:01.000 All I can say is it is frustrating to look at everything that's happening in the world and realize, you know, for a brief moment, my friends, maybe this is a little bit too black pilled, but I'll say what I'm going to say.

01:12:14.000 It looks like victory a year ago.

01:12:18.000 It wasn't a long, protracted election.

01:12:20.000 It was a snap and done.

01:12:23.000 Trump won.

01:12:24.000 Wow.

01:12:26.000 And then one by one, cracks in this coalition begin to form.

01:12:31.000 For whatever reason, the falling of Daily Wire, the ousting of Jeremy Boring, he's gone.

01:12:36.000 Whatever it is going on with Daily Wire, I have no idea.

01:12:39.000 But for some of these guys, their views have gone down.

01:12:42.000 There's been heavy critiques.

01:12:44.000 There's the Israel and anti-Israel rights now fighting each other.

01:12:48.000 You see these cracks forming.

01:12:49.000 You get the Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes dispute, and now Candace Owens is trying to burn down Turning Point. 1.00

01:12:54.000 And so what it feels like to me is we're watching the ship sink.

01:12:58.000 Now, again, we don't need to be completely blackbilled all the time. 0.52

01:13:01.000 Maybe as we move into the midterms, people start to hyper-focus on politics once more.

01:13:06.000 Viewership will start to rise.

01:13:07.000 Money will be dumped into the space.

01:13:10.000 The year after presidential election, like 2021, it's always like this.

01:13:13.000 In fact, our viewership today, it's bigger than it was in 2021.

01:13:17.000 So there's things to be excited about.

01:13:19.000 And we did have infighting over the DeSantis stuff, but it is pretty dang frustrating to see all of the hard work that was put together to stop the far left lunacy fall apart.

01:13:29.000 But at least I can say this.

01:13:30.000 If the deciding to win Democrat types do push out the sellout corporatists and they do push out the woke far left, commie, whatever, maybe the Democrats will emerge as the alternative to the lunacy of the pathetic right and they'll start winning back people who will consider themselves disaffected Republicans.

01:13:49.000 Me and Tate were talking about the rise of Stephen A. Smith a while back.

01:13:54.000 Yeah, well, but to Tim's point, like, this is what's so frustrating is because it's almost cool to not take anything seriously anymore.

01:14:00.000 It's almost cool to be the person that's in on the secret and like, I have this hidden esoteric knowledge that sometimes the most boring reality is the reality, which is the reality that Trump is president.

01:14:11.000 This is the most viable option to save this country.

01:14:13.000 Get behind him because you do not understand what is coming for you when Trump, you know, if something, if this fails, if this project fails.

01:14:20.000 I just got someone pointed this out, and it's a great point.

01:14:24.000 This guy who made this video, Wolves in Finance, who he's like fraud at Turning Point, and he's like, I went to this address and said that I can't find the business anywhere.

01:14:33.000 There's literally a UPS store there.

01:14:36.000 He has discovered that the business is a contractor with an LLC registered to a mailbox at a UPS store, which was always allowed.

01:14:42.000 That's where they receive their mail.

01:14:44.000 And he's pretending not to know this.

01:14:46.000 You know what I want to talk about?

01:14:46.000 So you know what?

01:14:48.000 Something that's not political and it's funny.

01:14:49.000 Here's a story from Wired.

01:14:51.000 Men are betting on WNBA players' menstrual cycles.

01:14:56.000 Some sports gamblers are trying to predict WNBA players' performance and the outcomes of games based on the athletes' periods.

01:15:02.000 One betting content creator has dubbed it blood money. 0.55

01:15:05.000 And it's an old story from October, but I was watching a video where someone broke it down today and I was like, holy crap, that's right.

01:15:12.000 I wonder if they're more aggressive when they're having their cycle.

01:15:15.000 Well, they're just feeling down, I guess.

01:15:17.000 You know what I mean?

01:15:18.000 So this is actually really interesting because, you know, Alex Stein always makes the joke that we should allow trans people in women's sports because then you can bet on them and you'll always win.

01:15:27.000 In the military.

01:15:28.000 And the military, yeah. 0.94

01:15:30.000 They say the whoosh of a dildo flying past your face, tribalistic chance, men making bets on your bodily functions. 0.98

01:15:38.000 Wow. 0.96

01:15:39.000 This isn't a cult.

01:15:40.000 This is a day in the life of the modern WNBA player.

01:15:42.000 I'm just going to say it.

01:15:42.000 You know what?

01:15:43.000 Nobody wants a WNBA. 1.00

01:15:44.000 Nobody does.

01:15:45.000 Does anybody here want it?

01:15:46.000 Do you want it?

01:15:46.000 No.

01:15:47.000 No, of course not.

01:15:48.000 Why does it exist?

01:15:49.000 Someone made the point that like a WNBA player getting pregnant is like a torn ACL. 1.00

01:15:53.000 You're just out for the season.

01:15:55.000 You're out for it.

01:15:56.000 Yeah.

01:15:57.000 Yeah, but NBA players don't intentionally tear their ACLs.

01:16:03.000 Right.

01:16:04.000 Yeah.

01:16:05.000 I saw that they were going for contract raises too with the new collective bargaining.

01:16:09.000 They want to get 20 bucks an hour.

01:16:11.000 They say one prominent figure making and predicting these wagers who goes by Fade Me Bets Online has garnered thousands of likes and shares on Instagram for his menstrual cycle betting strategy.

01:16:11.000 Look at this.

01:16:20.000 He claims he's been correct on 11 out of 16 of his period-related predictions with about 68.75% accuracy.

01:16:28.000 What's kind of good, but also kind of bad is it brings more people to watch the WNBA.

01:16:32.000 But on the downside of that, it's usually just all gamblers said fade says fade me bets.

01:16:37.000 Decline to be named.

01:16:37.000 How does he know?

01:16:38.000 How does he know that menstrual cycles say?

01:16:41.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:16:42.000 Follow him on Instagram.

01:16:43.000 I have pheromones.

01:16:44.000 Here's a quote.

01:16:45.000 Yeah, follow me long enough.

01:16:47.000 He says, not everyone is the same.

01:16:49.000 Yes, they are a traditional 28-day cycle, but everyone's is different and it varies from person to person, month to month, says Amy West.

01:16:56.000 Fade Me Bets admits that predicting WNBA player performance based on menstrual cycle assumptions is more art than science.

01:17:02.000 His typical menstrual cycle prediction videos all start with vaguely menacing phrase, we've got a victim, boys.

01:17:10.000 Wow.

01:17:10.000 By this, he says the victim is the betting line.

01:17:13.000 The odds set out in the sports book that determines a person's payout, not the player herself.

01:17:17.000 He then shares predictions about whether a specific player is menstruating, ovulating, or in their late luteal phase, which occurs after ovulation and before the period comes.

01:17:28.000 For instance, he said this of Clark.

01:17:31.000 She is on the end of her late luteal phase, meaning a decrease in cardio, decrease in strength, decrease in aerobic system.

01:17:37.000 She's going to be tired more often than in a normal game.

01:17:40.000 Fade Me Bets told viewers to bet the under on Clark that game, projecting that she'd score lower than the number predicted by odds makers on sports betting apps.

01:17:49.000 And in this case, Clark did.

01:17:51.000 The teams need to hire the guy like from Moneyball to do this for the other team to start putting like saber metrics, start putting rating systems to their periods.

01:18:00.000 Yeah, they're going to time up the cycles because you don't want five players that all have like the same time.

01:18:04.000 So you need to like, when you're building your roster, you have to make sure everyone's spaced out across the world. 0.88

01:18:07.000 If they spend enough time together, they'll all sync up.

01:18:10.000 That's true.

01:18:11.000 I mean, you could do this for the men in the NBA, but when their wives have their periods, because they might not be playing well either because their wife is being rude to them at that time.

01:18:18.000 Yeah.

01:18:19.000 Frustrated.

01:18:20.000 Or maybe, maybe, like I said, maybe it makes them more aggressive.

01:18:22.000 They're angry.

01:18:23.000 They're having a bad day.

01:18:24.000 They got to get it out of their system.

01:18:25.000 Yeah.

01:18:25.000 I think that's why a lot of them pick up multiple baby mamas so they cycle around.

01:18:30.000 You know, here's the reality that I think everyone needs to understand with stories like this.

01:18:30.000 Yeah.

01:18:38.000 Guys, I work in media.

01:18:40.000 I produce a lot of content.

01:18:41.000 I've produced a bunch of different kinds of content from travel documentaries, news travel stories, and news podcasts more recently in the past several years.

01:18:51.000 Viewership and interest in politics is gone.

01:18:55.000 And it's gone because of people like Candace Owens and this other guy who, uh, Wolf and Finance is whatever his name is, who are lying too much.

01:19:05.000 But it's also just that politics isn't something that can be developed, it happens around you.

01:19:12.000 And so, what's happening now with stories like this is that if you look at what Gen Z is interested in, it ain't politics.

01:19:18.000 Millennials were very interested in this over the past 10 or so years because of Gamergate.

01:19:22.000 But this might actually be a very good thing.

01:19:25.000 If politics stops being pop culture, maybe people will start focusing on WNBA players' menstrual cycles instead. 1.00

01:19:33.000 They'll stop believing crackpot stories and they'll stop voting for stupid things. 0.97

01:19:38.000 And then voter turnout will decrease, but it will remain solid among those like us who deeply care about these issues. 0.99

01:19:46.000 I think the power of a well-told story or whatever is too powerful.

01:19:52.000 I think that, like, when we were talking about JFK earlier, how powerful was the discussion around the JFK assassination?

01:19:58.000 The only difference is now it happens at light speed because of the internet, whereas before it took longer for that to reach critical mass within society.

01:20:07.000 Well, I think, you know, we clip out this segment, it'll perform better than 90% of the political stuff that we do.

01:20:15.000 When we talk about space weather, it outperforms everything to guarantee.

01:20:20.000 Well, I mean, we got a big space weather story.

01:20:22.000 People are really fascinated to know about these solar storms and the auroras that are flying over everywhere.

01:20:27.000 And we've got 20-year high radiation.

01:20:29.000 Is that what it is?

01:20:30.000 I mean, we'll talk about it.

01:20:31.000 It's pretty crazy.

01:20:32.000 And then you see these planes falling out of the sky.

01:20:34.000 This stuff is all infinitely more interesting than tariff policy.

01:20:38.000 It also has more effect on the average person, right?

01:20:40.000 Like, the average person doesn't have a whole lot besides the entertainment value, the drama value of the Charlie Kirk story.

01:20:48.000 It doesn't affect their lives.

01:20:49.000 Whereas if there's solar flares that are going to affect the grid, that would affect everybody.

01:20:56.000 Well, it's like people.

01:20:57.000 Well, I was just saying, I mean, because people now, people on the right are discussing this is that, look, the major issue with democracy as a whole is that the more people participating, the worse the policy gets.

01:21:07.000 And it's kind of the same thing with political commentaries.

01:21:10.000 The more participation, the more eyeballs, in a lot of ways, the more watered down the discourse gets because, yeah, you're trying to capture the biggest audience possible, which incentivizes you to like Mr. Beast to fire your content.

01:21:20.000 No offense to Mr. Beast, but not great for political polemics.

01:21:23.000 So this is funny.

01:21:24.000 Look at this.

01:21:25.000 WNBA fans react in disgust to news that men are betting on players' menstrual cycles.

01:21:30.000 How do they know it's men?

01:21:31.000 There could be women betting. 1.00

01:21:32.000 Oh, but why?

01:21:33.000 But hold on.

01:21:33.000 Cycles?

01:21:34.000 Like, why, why, why?

01:21:37.000 This is the thing about women. 1.00

01:21:37.000 Women. 1.00

01:21:40.000 The male view of this system is like, is there a mathematical formula that predicts behavior and outcomes? 0.99

01:21:47.000 And the women are like, you're mean and gross. 1.00

01:21:50.000 I mean, I think that there might be some of that. 0.97

01:21:52.000 I think a lot of this is meme betting.

01:21:54.000 Meme betting?

01:21:56.000 I don't know if they're actually paying close attention to the cycles or if they just think it's funny to put money down on a woman because of her menstrual cycles.

01:22:03.000 I would argue while the story gets attention because it's funny and weird, I mean, it's true.

01:22:11.000 Like, obviously, a woman's menstrual cycle is going to impact her ability to place physical sports. 0.96

01:22:17.000 Yeah, sports bettors are like actually the high-level ones obviously are like super pragmatic.

01:22:21.000 Like they're reading traffic, how much traffic there is for the away team on the way to the game because it's going to frustrate the players more.

01:22:28.000 And then they like, that impacts the money line.

01:22:30.000 Like there's so many factors that they the temperature for which the players have played in before because it might affect if it's hotter or colder out.

01:22:36.000 Yeah.

01:22:37.000 These guys used to be like our botanists and our great scientists and now they're like tracking WNB players' menstrual cycles.

01:22:43.000 Brett, to your point, you know, the betting is different on NFL games depending on the weather, if they're if it's an outdoor stadium or whatever.

01:22:52.000 What a player's record is in cold weather versus warm weather.

01:22:55.000 Absolutely.

01:22:55.000 Yep.

01:22:56.000 Indeed.

01:22:57.000 Yeah.

01:22:57.000 There you go.

01:22:58.000 I mean, the edge is money.

01:23:00.000 You get paid, you know?

01:23:01.000 For your segments, because you do stuff that's both culture and politics.

01:23:04.000 Which ones perform better generally?

01:23:08.000 I don't, I, well, culture.

01:23:10.000 If I make a video about like, so I did a video the other day where it's an old video, but it got attention recently because this woman is suing. 0.98

01:23:18.000 She's a far-left activist, and some guy went to a convention.

01:23:21.000 It was the Asian Pacific Economic Convention or whatever.

01:23:24.000 And he was dressed down.

01:23:25.000 They told me he needed a jacket.

01:23:26.000 So he calls his wife and she comes and brings him a jacket.

01:23:28.000 He walks outside and there's protests everywhere.

01:23:30.000 He gets his jacket on and they won't let him back in.

01:23:32.000 So when he tries walking in, they grab him, they're throwing him.

01:23:35.000 And he's pissed.

01:23:37.000 So he goes to a secret service agent.

01:23:38.000 He says, How am I supposed to get in?

01:23:39.000 And they can't give an answer.

01:23:40.000 Then this woman walks up next to him and starts screaming people over profit over and over again like a zombie, just the top of her lungs. 1.00

01:23:47.000 When he goes to walk away, she follows him screaming and he turns around and just right hooks her. 1.00

01:23:52.000 Boom.

01:23:53.000 And she goes down, hits her head on a fence, and she like broke her jaw, got a concussion, knocked teeth out.

01:24:02.000 This dude just boom and she was gone. 0.62

01:24:06.000 And she had to get her mouth wired shut, a couple hundred thousand views on that. 0.80

01:24:11.000 I do a video about something very esoteric and political.

01:24:15.000 It's just not going to perform well at all.

01:24:18.000 I mean, perform well, 100 and something thousand on YouTube, and then, you know, like 30 or something on Rumble, and then maybe 30 on like Facebook and stuff like that.

01:24:25.000 But you make a video, like I'll put it this way: I could take a random video of a random guy punching another random guy and get more views than talking about politics.

01:24:37.000 Yeah.

01:24:38.000 I mean, that's even true in our space.

01:24:39.000 We did, like, I had videos do better talking about Black Friday scams than anything to do with Marvel or DC, anything like that.

01:24:47.000 It used to be true that videos about Trump's incursion in Hollywood got people lots of views because he's always trying to, whether it's talking about Seth Meyers or any of these guys, him talking about wanting to make specific movies with Paramount Studios.

01:25:01.000 That stuff used to do very well.

01:25:02.000 Now it doesn't do as well as it used to because people are just over it.

01:25:05.000 Let's jump to this story from the post-millennial.

01:25:08.000 Women supporters swarm Manhattan Courthouse to glimpse Luigi Mangioni in court appearance. 0.94

01:25:14.000 Dozens of supporters began lining up over the weekend with some individuals camping out in front of the building in temperatures below freezing.

01:25:22.000 Repeal the 19th. 0.57

01:25:23.000 Yes.

01:25:24.000 To start.

01:25:26.000 I say that as a joke.

01:25:27.000 I don't.

01:25:29.000 It's nothing new. 0.99

01:25:30.000 Women love murderers and serial killers. 1.00

01:25:34.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:25:35.000 So, so, so, what, what is up with this? 0.99

01:25:37.000 Uh, why do women want to be married to a murderer or to have sex with one? 1.00

01:25:42.000 Because he looks like he looks, because he's not Thomas Crooks. 0.96

01:25:44.000 They wouldn't want to look like Tom.

01:25:45.000 They wouldn't want a guy who looks like Thomas Crooks.

01:25:48.000 He's chopped.

01:25:49.000 There's truth to that, but also like women have the fantasy of a powerful man that could do an immense amount of violence to do it to them.

01:25:49.000 Yeah.

01:25:59.000 To Bashar al-Assad, right?

01:26:01.000 I mean, like, he has a beautiful, very intelligent doctor for a wife.

01:26:06.000 He's dictator of Syria for however many decades.

01:26:09.000 As soon as he's ousted, she's gone.

01:26:11.000 It's beauty and the beast.

01:26:13.000 You know, the attraction of the beast is the beast is powerful and he, you know, can kill people or do what, you know, be a lord or whatever, but he is smitten for Belle and he won't hurt her.

01:26:26.000 So she has power through him.

01:26:30.000 It's the woman power fantasy. 1.00

01:26:31.000 I wonder if Assad's running like epic red pill pickup tactics on the streets of Moscow right now. 0.89

01:26:36.000 Do we know?

01:26:36.000 Like, do we have any updates on what he's up to?

01:26:38.000 He's just playing games, I think.

01:26:39.000 He's a big gamer.

01:26:40.000 Is he real?

01:26:41.000 He's probably streaming right now.

01:26:41.000 Yeah, video games?

01:26:42.000 It's hilarious.

01:26:43.000 Yeah.

01:26:43.000 Imagine being on like Battlefield.

01:26:45.000 He's doing dental simulator.

01:26:46.000 Fortnite.

01:26:47.000 Fortnite.

01:26:48.000 Yeah.

01:26:48.000 Oh, dude.

01:26:49.000 He's double tapping drug boats.

01:26:51.000 He's rebuilding Syria and Minecraft.

01:26:53.000 He's calling people the N-word on Fortnite.

01:26:56.000 He probably is.

01:26:56.000 Right now, he probably is on EU4 and he's just rebuilding Syria.

01:27:00.000 Like, this is what they took for me.

01:27:02.000 Like, brooding.

01:27:04.000 Yeah, no, this is really creepy.

01:27:06.000 The women are, the women are not okay. 1.00

01:27:08.000 I know the young men, like, that's where all the like, this is kind of this really annoying thing because conservative media really likes to talk down young men and be like, this is all your fault.

01:27:14.000 But it's like, I don't know.

01:27:15.000 I don't know if the, you know, to use layman's terms, the huhs are much in a much better situation. 1.00

01:27:20.000 I mean, this is really emblematic of a huge problem. 0.96

01:27:23.000 They're clearly mentally disturbed.

01:27:24.000 These are probably SSRI-ridden women and the SSRI usage among women. 0.99

01:27:28.000 This isn't a joke.

01:27:28.000 I don't, I don't, I don't think we're exorbitantly high.

01:27:30.000 I think it's, I think it's a fair assessment.

01:27:34.000 I do.

01:27:34.000 But this is just women in general.

01:27:37.000 The reason why true crime, like 50 Shades of Gray, this is what women want. 1.00

01:27:41.000 They want that book about the milking bull or whatever.

01:27:45.000 Morning Glory Milking.

01:27:46.000 There you go.

01:27:46.000 Yeah, milking.

01:27:47.000 It's really good, guys.

01:27:48.000 Just give it a chance.

01:27:50.000 I obviously wouldn't accuse all women of this because certainly just some people are weird.

01:27:54.000 But a lot of women really love the story of a literal minotaur bull creature forcing them to perform acts upon the body. 0.96

01:28:05.000 And they love 50 Shades of Gray, where it's literally about, what was 50 Shades of Grey?

01:28:08.000 It was like a college student who couldn't afford to pay her bills and she signed a slave contract with a rich guy.

01:28:14.000 Yeah.

01:28:15.000 He's a billionaire.

01:28:15.000 She's sent to interview him.

01:28:17.000 Is that what it was?

01:28:18.000 Yeah, she's sent to interview him.

01:28:20.000 She's like a budding journalist.

01:28:22.000 But she's like at student debt. 1.00

01:28:23.000 And then he's like, you're going to sign a slave contract.

01:28:25.000 And she's like, yes.

01:28:26.000 Please.

01:28:26.000 She's that what the Pentagon contract was.

01:28:30.000 So that's basically the point of Morning Glory Milking Farm, right?

01:28:34.000 That's all, it's all student debt.

01:28:35.000 They're just romanticizing their student loans.

01:28:39.000 Yeah.

01:28:39.000 Getting paid off.

01:28:40.000 Yeah.

01:28:40.000 So, okay, is that the government's fault?

01:28:42.000 Is that the olive branch with the left?

01:28:44.000 It's like, okay, can we pay off the student loans and you guys calm down?

01:28:47.000 This is how we make money without having to actually work all day.

01:28:50.000 I'm going to AI generate a series of books where it's always about a young woman with student loan debt and then various creatures, animals, and men who are abusive but pay off their debt.

01:29:03.000 So we do one where it's like she can't find a job and pay off her debt. 0.84

01:29:07.000 So she goes to like a construction yard and finds an illegal immigrant and it'll be called something like, you know, Pedro, My Only Hope or something. 0.98

01:29:14.000 And then he's like, I will work construction and pay off your bills, but I'm illegal.

01:29:17.000 So if anyone finds out, I'll be deported.

01:29:19.000 And she's like, oh no.

01:29:20.000 And then like Trump's in it.

01:29:22.000 And then you can do just another one where it's like a race car driver.

01:29:26.000 You know, just like insert whatever you do.

01:29:28.000 You can do any tall handsome student loan debt.

01:29:33.000 You go to the liquor store with a raccoon and then he can help you.

01:29:35.000 You know, you steal enough liquor to pay off your student debt.

01:29:37.000 I got it.

01:29:38.000 Hear me out.

01:29:38.000 Hold on.

01:29:39.000 It is a young woman who graduated college, but now has too much debt and can't find a job until she meets Voldemort. 1.00

01:29:48.000 And he's like, I want to kill all the muggles except you, baby. 1.00

01:29:52.000 And she's like, I'm into it. 1.00

01:29:54.000 You know, and that I'm, I'm about to make money.

01:29:57.000 I'm cooking right now.

01:29:58.000 I mean, just keep going.

01:29:59.000 Let's do some brainstorming.

01:30:00.000 Come on.

01:30:00.000 Phil, what you got?

01:30:01.000 This does make perfect sense.

01:30:03.000 You know, considering the Twilight and, like I said, Beauty and the Beast and stuff, it's the typical woman fantasy. 1.00

01:30:11.000 And it's kind of gross because obviously this guy's a murderer, you know, or he's alleged murderer. 0.61

01:30:17.000 A murderer. 0.94

01:30:18.000 Yeah.

01:30:19.000 It's this weird thing where it's like the degenerate aspects of sexuality are like encouraged and promoted in society.

01:30:26.000 So you have like these smut books and whatnot.

01:30:28.000 And on the men's side, like pornography is outright promoted at this point.

01:30:32.000 But then the healthy aspects of sexuality are like completely repressed and shamed.

01:30:35.000 Like men just simply like expressing romantic interest in women.

01:30:40.000 Even women like, you know, desiring to present themselves in more feminine ways, feminine ways, attractive partner, is also discouraged by society. 0.94

01:30:47.000 So we have this complete inversion where it's, yeah, the most degenerate aspects of sexuality are like praise and encouraged.

01:30:52.000 And this is a great example.

01:30:53.000 Like not the postmillenos reporting, but a lot of the reporting on this is framing this.

01:30:56.000 Like, isn't this such a wacky and wild thing?

01:30:58.000 Wow, isn't this crazy?

01:30:59.000 And it's not like just, it's not presented as terribly disturbing, which it is, which it is.

01:31:04.000 But this is, this is where we're going, I guess.

01:31:07.000 So, you know, I wonder what's, you know, what we talk about with the Neuralink stuff.

01:31:12.000 Apparently, there's like a big breakthrough recently where they can implant Neuralink cables or whatever into your brain really fast now.

01:31:20.000 And I was saying that, you know, people are going to plug their brain and then be like a knight fighting a dragon or whatever.

01:31:26.000 And, you know, that's obviously the family-friendly version of what's really going to happen.

01:31:30.000 It's going to be a raccoon in a liquor store.

01:31:32.000 Bro, you're like, first of all, if people have the ability to wire their brains and then experience any kind of reality they want, yes, there will be people who do liquor store raccoon simulator.

01:31:41.000 Oh, yeah.

01:31:42.000 But, bro, it's going to be a bunch of women being slaves for billionaires and minotaurs. 1.00

01:31:49.000 Not to be fair. 0.73

01:31:50.000 And billionaire minotaurs.

01:31:51.000 Werewolves.

01:31:52.000 Yeah.

01:31:52.000 A ghost was one of the books.

01:31:54.000 Like, that was the weirdest.

01:31:54.000 Vampire.

01:31:56.000 Vampire's obvious, right?

01:31:57.000 But the ghost one was the weirdest one. 0.98

01:31:59.000 Like, how are you in a sexual relationship with a ghost?

01:32:01.000 It's like not even got a physical body.

01:32:03.000 Well, I mean, this ghost is Patrick Swayze, of course.

01:32:06.000 Oh, and if he concentrated really hard, he could touch stuff and move the penny.

01:32:09.000 Yep.

01:32:10.000 Yeah, he had to go to the weird guy on the screen.

01:32:14.000 I kind of want to watch that movie now.

01:32:15.000 That's a classic.

01:32:17.000 But yeah, Neuralink's coming.

01:32:19.000 And none of this will matter in the end because everyone's going to live in the pod and eat the bugs.

01:32:23.000 Why can't there be any of these exciting fantasy books about a relationship with, I don't know, a producer at a media, alt media company?

01:32:30.000 Where's that at?

01:32:32.000 A powerful producer at a media company.

01:32:34.000 Yeah.

01:32:34.000 That'd be nice.

01:32:35.000 I'm just saying, I'm just, you know, spitballing any writers out there.

01:32:38.000 Are you going to pay off their student debt?

01:32:40.000 That's the question.

01:32:40.000 And you have to abuse them.

01:32:42.000 Oh, yeah.

01:32:43.000 That is really funny that they're always abused.

01:32:45.000 You know what I really was really funny is the Twilight series.

01:32:48.000 It's very, it was, it was very obvious what this chick was writing.

01:32:52.000 What was her name?

01:32:53.000 Stephanie.

01:32:54.000 I don't know.

01:32:54.000 The lady wrote it.

01:32:55.000 I never saw the movies.

01:32:56.000 Well, it was books.

01:32:58.000 But it was like a high school girl, and then like the sexy vampire and the werewolf are like.

01:33:03.000 Stephanie Meyer.

01:33:04.000 Meyer.

01:33:05.000 That's what it is.

01:33:05.000 And the sexy vampire is like, I want you to be with me, Bella.

01:33:08.000 And the werewolf's like, I'm a sexy werewolf. 0.63

01:33:09.000 You should be with me.

01:33:10.000 And the sexy werewolf and the sexy vampire fight over the woman. 1.00

01:33:13.000 Obviously, that sold well among young women.

01:33:17.000 And then they made a movie about it.

01:33:19.000 And then the funny thing is, 50 Shades of Gray was fan fiction.

01:33:22.000 It was Twilight Fan.

01:33:24.000 Like Edward was abusing Bella.

01:33:26.000 Is that what it was?

01:33:29.000 Twilight fan fiction.

01:33:31.000 I will live longer because I don't know the answer to that question.

01:33:34.000 It's true. 0.96

01:33:35.000 Yeah, it's female degeneracy on display. 1.00

01:33:39.000 And it's obviously because the media can't bring themselves to criticize women. 1.00

01:33:46.000 It's always portrayed as either quirky and silly or just outright something that you shouldn't have to do.

01:33:54.000 Because they prepare the audience for it, right? 0.97

01:33:57.000 They can criticize porn because they can criticize the men who watch porn, but they don't want to criticize the women who do it because that would be slut shaming. 0.69

01:34:04.000 Yeah, I mean, that's been the good, it's been the big like dilemmas, the good man scarcity, that Scott Greers name that's like, yeah, they just slam men all day, and that's all, most of it's justified, but it's like, that's kind of everyone young, it's struggling.

01:34:18.000 For a lot of the women, you're not allowed to criticize individuals, right?

01:34:20.000 Like I was doing this thing earlier where this woman wrote this very long article about Ariana Grande being as skinny as she is now and talking about the return of women that look like stick thin. 1.00

01:34:30.000 And basically she's like, I'm not here to body shame her.

01:34:33.000 I'm not here to shame her or any of these other people.

01:34:35.000 It's the system that causes it.

01:34:37.000 It's the system that makes it popular.

01:34:39.000 Hollywood is now pushing skinny women again. 1.00

01:34:42.000 Therefore, it's their fault, not an individual's fault.

01:34:45.000 The issue that I see with everything is the granularization of culture that is only going to continue.

01:34:53.000 And we talk about it quite a bit.

01:34:54.000 As we mentioned, it used to be that you had five TV channels, 50 million people watched one show, and everybody the next day was talking about the one thing they all saw and they all agreed on.

01:35:03.000 Now, everybody's watching something random.

01:35:06.000 No, Stranger Things Season 5 is like the closest you're going to get to that.

01:35:10.000 I can't even stand watching it.

01:35:11.000 I turned it off right away.

01:35:11.000 I try.

01:35:12.000 I mean, I'm just saying that's what is child rape in the beginning of the show.

01:35:16.000 Look, I didn't see that scene.

01:35:17.000 Like, but the first scene.

01:35:19.000 But I'm saying, I didn't want, I'm saying I'm not watching Stranger Things.

01:35:21.000 I'm saying, but that's the point.

01:35:22.000 Like, if you go look at my feed right now, it's people talking.

01:35:25.000 I guess not right now.

01:35:25.000 It's already been a week.

01:35:26.000 It's already out of people's minds.

01:35:27.000 But that's the last show that I've seen in a very long time.

01:35:30.000 Release it all.

01:35:31.000 Next to Game of Thrones is a show.

01:35:33.000 Yeah, I think they did the whole season all at once.

01:35:35.000 And then part two is, I don't know if it's another thing that kills shows.

01:35:39.000 The weekly release was a good idea.

01:35:42.000 Weekly release.

01:35:43.000 You know, game of no, because culturally, the weekly release made a moment in which everyone was sitting watching the same.

01:35:50.000 I know why they do it.

01:35:51.000 I just hate it because I want to watch it.

01:35:52.000 It feels like the grand finale of MASH was like a third of the country watching.

01:35:55.000 We're never going to get that again.

01:35:56.000 Never.

01:35:57.000 We can't.

01:35:57.000 It's again, the monoculture is dead.

01:35:59.000 We can't create stars.

01:36:00.000 And stars are actually really important for culture because that provides you with touch points for everybody.

01:36:04.000 Like, think about LeBron and Tom Brady, but the last great star athletes.

01:36:09.000 Generally, you're correct, but the Patriots are like 10 and two right now or something like that.

01:36:13.000 And so that can bring half the country to half the country together to hate them and the other half to love them.

01:36:19.000 Look, look, look.

01:36:20.000 When we look at Google Trends at the beginning of the show, and we can see that 50,000 is like the top trending story right now.

01:36:26.000 To be fair, the number one is 200,000, but it spiked and then collapsed.

01:36:31.000 People aren't using Google anymore.

01:36:33.000 They're using ChatGPT.

01:36:35.000 On X, they're using Grok.

01:36:36.000 But the average person, I believe, I believe ChatGPT is probably the most prominent.

01:36:41.000 People are already entering isolated individual universes.

01:36:45.000 There are tons of stories popping up where people are on Chat GPT and they're marrying their avatars that they're creating.

01:36:52.000 They're creating stories.

01:36:54.000 One guy thought he was Einstein and discovered a new mathematical theorem, but it was gibberish nonsense. 0.97

01:36:59.000 We are all ready here.

01:37:01.000 When we're talking about the end of the monoculture, people need to understand.

01:37:08.000 I would estimate a double-digit percentage of America are already spending all their time on ChatGPT and just being told what they want to hear.

01:37:16.000 This is going to transform once we get instant universal video generation, which Grok almost is.

01:37:23.000 You can go on Grok and you can generate basically, I'm pretty sure it's unlimited videos.

01:37:28.000 When you go on Grok to make an image, it makes like 12 images at once.

01:37:32.000 Then you can click it and turn it to a video.

01:37:34.000 We'll mess around with it on the uncensored portion of the show and we'll show some examples.

01:37:39.000 People are already probably just creating their own miniature universes.

01:37:43.000 And every year it's going to exponentially increase.

01:37:45.000 And I think it's intentional because the average person is going to tune out the news.

01:37:50.000 They're going to tune out culture in general.

01:37:52.000 They're going to make as little money as they need just to sit in their room and watch the fake, fake virtual world they want to live in.

01:37:58.000 And then once they create the fake virtual world, they're going to beg Elon Musk to plug their brain into it.

01:38:03.000 We're going to go to your chats and Rumble rants, my friends.

01:38:07.000 So smash the like button.

01:38:08.000 Share the show with everyone you know.

01:38:11.000 And at 10, we're going to be at rumble.com/slash Timcastirl for the uncensored portion of the show, where we'll talk about fun stuff.

01:38:18.000 Before we do all that, though, we got a great sponsor for you.

01:38:20.000 It is frontline21.com.

01:38:23.000 Check it out and download your free field guide to join thousands of men taking the 21-day challenge.

01:38:29.000 There's a lot of noise out there about masculinity. 0.95

01:38:31.000 You got some screaming that masculinity is toxic and the other side pushing a version of manhood that's all about ego, domination, and pride.

01:38:38.000 Both of those are wrong.

01:38:39.000 That's not strength.

01:38:40.000 It's confusion.

01:38:41.000 Frontline 21 is a 21-day challenge for men designed to help guys rebuild discipline, leadership, and integrity in a world that's trying to tear those things down.

01:38:50.000 It's not therapy.

01:38:51.000 It's not politics.

01:38:52.000 It's personal responsibility.

01:38:54.000 Society's tried to label all strength as toxic.

01:38:57.000 And the result is a generation of disconnected, directionless men.

01:39:01.000 Frontline 21 was built to remind men that real masculinity isn't toxic.

01:39:04.000 It's necessary.

01:39:05.000 The 21-day format works because it's simple and measurable.

01:39:07.000 No lectures, no endless content, just real action one step every day.

01:39:20.000 Shout out and thanks for sponsoring the show.

01:39:22.000 Let's grab your rants and chats, my friends.

01:39:25.000 Cheeseburger says Mike Lindell is running for governor of Minnesota.

01:39:29.000 His campaign slogan should be: If you vote for Tim, you'll get tampons in the men's room.

01:39:33.000 If you vote for me, you'll get pillows in the bedroom.

01:39:35.000 It's a little long.

01:39:37.000 We tightened up.

01:39:39.000 Tighten it up.

01:39:40.000 Yeah.

01:39:41.000 I identify as tax exempt, saying raccoons going hard AF.

01:39:44.000 Yeah.

01:39:46.000 Something, yeah, there's something stirring among the creatures of America, I've noticed.

01:39:49.000 Like, they're getting a little more bold.

01:39:50.000 I don't know if you noticed, like, the deer, they're getting a little chippier than you.

01:39:54.000 They're always like that out here.

01:39:55.000 Coyotes, yeah.

01:39:56.000 Even the birds are like really mixing it up a little bit recently.

01:39:59.000 I don't know what's going on.

01:39:59.000 I think it's maybe Trump.

01:40:00.000 I think it's the vitality of Trump coming back in.

01:40:02.000 It's like really animating America's creatures and they're stepping their game up. 0.51

01:40:06.000 So, yeah, I don't know.

01:40:07.000 I think humans should be on the lookout.

01:40:08.000 Maybe they're coming for our throne.

01:40:09.000 I don't know.

01:40:10.000 Shane H. Wilder says, it drank rum, moonshine, and peanut butter whiskey.

01:40:14.000 Man, that sounds like a Saturday night with the boys.

01:40:16.000 All the raccoon needed was cigars at a poker table.

01:40:19.000 You're here.

01:40:20.000 Jesus Crisp says, How long until Candace has a source saying the Jews and TPSA conspired to get this raccoon drunk?

01:40:27.000 She can't let a raccoon have the limelight. 1.00

01:40:29.000 Ha ha.

01:40:30.000 Ladytite says, LOL, Steven Crowder still gets massive views and doesn't brag about it.

01:40:34.000 Maybe you should try the same.

01:40:36.000 Well, I've not called out anyone by name for getting lesser views.

01:40:42.000 So pointing out that we still do relatively well compared to most people in the space is not meant to humble brag or insult them.

01:40:51.000 No, no, no, sir.

01:40:53.000 Ma'am.

01:40:55.000 Shane H. Wilder says, Can someone tell these ladies like Candace and MTG to calm down? 1.00

01:40:58.000 You're acting like your mother, then maybe give them a Snickers bar.

01:41:02.000 You're not you and you're hungry.

01:41:04.000 No.

01:41:04.000 Danger.

01:41:05.000 It probably works.

01:41:06.000 We could get the WNBA. 1.00

01:41:09.000 Devin Grissom says, Candace using a plethora of words without saying anything leads me to believe she was crushing it on high school essays that had word count requirements. 0.99

01:41:16.000 Ha ha.

01:41:18.000 Perhaps.

01:41:20.000 Same old man says, Tim, Candace is a liberal, which is why she is helping Democrats win and destroying TPOSA. 1.00

01:41:25.000 She never left the left.

01:41:27.000 I don't know that I agree with that, but I do think that the impulse is still there.

01:41:33.000 Metho says, Candace is turning my brother into an effing Groyper Nazi POS. 1.00

01:41:38.000 She is preying on people who are new to politics since Charlie was murdered. 1.00

01:41:42.000 Well, she's preying on anybody who's not paying attention and doesn't intend to watch anything beyond one video of hers. 1.00

01:41:49.000 And the problem is, you start watching that content, and if it's a movie or a TV show, it's a story, right?

01:41:55.000 And there's less harm in that because you're talking about fake characters.

01:41:59.000 But when you start doing it in the real world, it gets a lot harder if you're not willing to then watch all the content and then do your own research into whatever she's talking about and back up the claims because you can't just go based on that.

01:42:10.000 This happened in COVID.

01:42:11.000 I think a lot of this started in COVID because people lost their trust in the system during COVID, and a lot of people were exposing a lot of malfeasance from the government.

01:42:20.000 But it became a bit of a, you know, like a show for a lot of people to look at people talking about these things and exposing them now.

01:42:29.000 So it's a lot harder to pin down where reality ends and the show begins.

01:42:35.000 At least it feels that way.

01:42:36.000 Man, Quantum Cool says the Republican base is fractured.

01:42:39.000 However, if we can push back the Democrats enough, they will go the way of the Federalists before the Republican Party splits in two and becomes two different pro-IS parties.

01:42:48.000 It would be great.

01:42:50.000 So I have no problem with the name of part.

01:42:52.000 I mean, like, if the idea, if the Democrats actually became normal again and got rid of the commies and the corporatists, then sure, fine, right?

01:43:00.000 If you had a Democrat pop up for Congress who was like, you know, Stephen A. Smith isn't perfect because he still tries to pander. 0.96

01:43:07.000 But if you, if, well, I guess the problem is the Democrats, you'll never, you'll never, you'll never win because they're all insane. 0.92

01:43:12.000 So no. 0.85

01:43:12.000 Fetterman 2028, I'm telling you. 0.85

01:43:14.000 But Fetterman still votes for the stupid stuff. 0.99

01:43:17.000 So I guess what I'm saying is, I'll put it this way, I don't think there's any reality where I could win a Republican election, nor could I win a Democrat election. 0.99

01:43:26.000 And that's kind of the point.

01:43:27.000 That's why I'm like, I don't see a path out.

01:43:30.000 I will vote for a Republican because they get me close enough.

01:43:33.000 But if I ran as a Republican, I would never win. 1.00

01:43:35.000 But to your point, you said like Fetterman still votes on all the stupid stuff. 0.99

01:43:38.000 Most people aren't looking at how they vote. 0.99

01:43:40.000 They're not looking at what their prior voting record.

01:43:42.000 That's why Fetterman is trying to act like a moderate.

01:43:44.000 Because he knows that he can vote with the far left.

01:43:44.000 Yeah.

01:43:47.000 But as long as his perception is moderate, he'll get elections.

01:43:50.000 He's pro-Israel, though, right?

01:43:51.000 So he's got a problem.

01:43:53.000 Very pro-Israel.

01:43:55.000 Well, I do think that a lot of the anti-Israel stuff, well, certainly there's a lot of legitimate U.S. anti-Israel stuff, I think a lot of it's third world. 0.90

01:44:02.000 Well, I shouldn't say third world, but foreign countries.

01:44:05.000 You've got, what, 1.6 billion Muslims?

01:44:08.000 Yeah, I think you've got a lot of viewers.

01:44:09.000 You could classify it as third world because a lot of it is they just view the Jews in Israel as like a European colonial experiment.

01:44:18.000 It's super white people. 0.92

01:44:19.000 Right.

01:44:19.000 Yeah.

01:44:20.000 Yeah.

01:44:20.000 So yeah, it's like a lot of it is third world.

01:44:23.000 I mean, again, there's like plenty of meat on the bone there with Israel, but I'm just saying when someone named you can look at these people and people's engagement that are like tapping in and getting like thousands and thousands of reach. 0.84

01:44:34.000 When you go, that's like all Pakistani flags. 0.94

01:44:36.000 We all know what's going on.

01:44:37.000 You know what's interesting is that the people I've encountered who are big fans of Candace, they act, they're actually liberals.

01:44:45.000 Like Anna Kasparian talking about how she's watching Candace more now.

01:44:50.000 It's like, is she just going the liberal route?

01:44:52.000 Is that like the game?

01:44:53.000 I think that there's a large crossover of anti-Israel people that when was the last time she actually talked about conservative political values?

01:45:01.000 Bridget McCrone being a man isn't conservative.

01:45:04.000 You know?

01:45:06.000 Blake Lively is not a conservative thing.

01:45:08.000 Turning point conspiracies is not a conservative thing.

01:45:10.000 I mean, Blake Lively's stuff kind of got drawn into like Me Too type stuff at work, which has a political bend to it, though it's not politics.

01:45:18.000 Man, lowest common denominator, baby.

01:45:20.000 That's how you get it.

01:45:21.000 That's why you should watch PCC instead. 0.75

01:45:24.000 Xantho says Candace is and always has been a grifter.

01:45:27.000 Anyone who has paid any real attention to her knows this.

01:45:29.000 It was especially apparent when she went on Dave Rubin's show with Blair White to be a C word.

01:45:34.000 I actually say this I don't know what the word is because it says C star star star.

01:45:38.000 Because we use, we have an extension because when we pull up articles, it blurs out those words.

01:45:43.000 I'm assuming there's a naughty word under there.

01:45:46.000 Not here.

01:45:47.000 Lansen says what Candace is doing is like the national inquirer for the independent media space.

01:45:52.000 There will always be low IQ people that eat that stuff up.

01:45:56.000 That's a good point.

01:45:56.000 Indeed.

01:45:57.000 It is what it is, man.

01:45:59.000 It exists.

01:46:00.000 So be it.

01:46:01.000 All right.

01:46:01.000 Let's see.

01:46:02.000 We got some more for all of you guys.

01:46:05.000 All right.

01:46:06.000 Leo says that raccoon is my spirit animal.

01:46:09.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says Candace still hasn't brought Dem receipts yet.

01:46:13.000 And I looked.

01:46:14.000 I'm only finding parking lots of shopping plaza.

01:46:16.000 Something fishy is going on here.

01:46:18.000 Yeah, I mean, there's been no substance.

01:46:21.000 It's all just innuendo and accusations that are plausibly deniable.

01:46:28.000 Techno Moxington says, hey, Tim, big fan, been watching since the Rittenhouse trials.

01:46:33.000 Going to my first furry convention this weekend in Chicago, I definitely see you as a otter.

01:46:38.000 Cheers me.

01:46:42.000 Does he give an explanation as to why he sees you as an otter?

01:46:45.000 It could be because I carry the small rock in my pocket everywhere I go.

01:46:50.000 Probably what it is.

01:46:51.000 I don't know if that's something that you should be proud of.

01:46:55.000 Jennifer says, Hey, Tim, here's five bucks to help you start treatment for your Candace derangement syndrome.

01:47:00.000 Get well soon.

01:47:01.000 I appreciate the $5, but I have to apply it to my AOC derangement syndrome, my Adam Schiff derangement syndrome, my Eric Swalwell derangement syndrome, my Chuck Schumer derangement syndrome.

01:47:12.000 The list goes on.

01:47:13.000 Infinitely more people that I've criticized than just her before I even get to the therapy sessions over Candace, I got to go through every single Democrat scumbag, not to mention the Krasensteins, Hassan Piker. 0.97

01:47:28.000 Oh, man. 0.72

01:47:29.000 Can you believe all of those people that have derangement syndrome over? 0.94

01:47:32.000 Crazy. 0.62

01:47:34.000 Yeah.

01:47:35.000 SA Federale says, honestly, how do y'all avoid blackpilling?

01:47:38.000 And do you have a bat signal for Luke as Secretary of War and Candace crush every seed of hope and truth? 0.88

01:47:45.000 I'm searching for more than alcoholic trash panda coming up short.

01:47:49.000 Yeah, I don't know. 0.94

01:47:50.000 I've been, I've been, I play poker.

01:47:51.000 It's fun.

01:47:52.000 I look, spend time with your family and your loved ones.

01:47:55.000 I spend as much time with my wife when I'm not at work as I can.

01:47:59.000 I skate a lot, and that is a huge way to help with that.

01:48:01.000 I watch movies and television shows from prior to 2016.

01:48:05.000 Like just going outside and getting out there in the physical space and feeling the sun on your face goes a long way in keeping you.

01:48:12.000 Again, I know that Twitter, the idea that Twitter is not real life isn't necessarily true anymore, but it is true that when you go out into the real world and you spend time there, this stuff, while it is important, will shrink in its significance in your brain.

01:48:27.000 You just have to go out and do stuff.

01:48:29.000 I want to point something out.

01:48:31.000 The inactivity of the boomers and Gen Xers in the 80s to the 2000s, their general disinterest with politics resulted in the 2008 financial crash. 0.62

01:48:44.000 As people began to stop paying attention to what was going on, and I know people largely did, but most people did not.

01:48:50.000 Politics was an afterthought.

01:48:52.000 Voter turnout wasn't that high.

01:48:53.000 And even when it was, people didn't really know what they were voting for.

01:48:55.000 It was just team, you know, team politics, right?

01:48:57.000 Team USA.

01:48:58.000 You ended up getting, well, it was team, Democrat, team, Republican.

01:49:01.000 You ended up getting the financial crisis, which caused a fertility crisis, which is causing all of these crises we're seeing now.

01:49:09.000 If we all revert back to, you know what, I'm not going to pay attention anymore, the end result is going to be it all just blows up one day because it's already sinking.

01:49:17.000 The only reason it's not completely sunk is because there is a faction of populists on the right, largely, that are like, this has to stop.

01:49:25.000 But as the ship is sinking, you have people who are basically saying, let's just extract everything we can as it all goes down.

01:49:34.000 And that's going to be interesting.

01:49:36.000 I'm just thinking about the stuff that I watch on YouTube.

01:49:39.000 And, you know, I'm watching videos about space weather.

01:49:44.000 I'm fascinated by that stuff.

01:49:46.000 There's social experiments.

01:49:49.000 It's like social philosophies are interesting.

01:49:52.000 General news stuff is largely boring.

01:49:57.000 People are kind of detaching from the political space now.

01:50:00.000 And it almost feels like people have given up.

01:50:05.000 You know?

01:50:06.000 I mean, I do think that there's a level of despondency because particularly on the right, because people have had high hopes with Donald Trump being elected again, they're like, oh, Donald Trump's going to come in and do all these things.

01:50:18.000 And you see it all across the political spectrum of people, or not political spectrum, but all across the right of people saying, well, Donald Trump hasn't done this and Donald Trump hasn't done that.

01:50:26.000 He hasn't accomplished whatever particular pet project that they believed that he was going to do right away.

01:50:32.000 And I think that that tends to turn people off.

01:50:35.000 And people are like, well, if he's not going to do it, then screw him, screw the Republicans, et cetera.

01:50:39.000 And you see it a lot on social media with people talking about politics.

01:50:43.000 They're like, oh, the Republicans aren't going to do anything.

01:50:46.000 And I think that that does create a level of despondency.

01:50:50.000 Yeah.

01:50:51.000 Raymond J. Stanley Jr. says the raccoon hasn't recovered from the COVID lockdowns.

01:50:55.000 Or he finally snapped.

01:50:56.000 It's possible.

01:50:57.000 This is a moment.

01:50:58.000 I think, I mean, not to harp back on it, but I think the despondency is, yeah, directly related to the blackpilling.

01:51:03.000 Like, people have gotten so hopeless about the political situation.

01:51:06.000 Part of the problem is the way that the media environment on the right developed is it developed during Bush to Obama.

01:51:13.000 The Biden winner is really when things kind of crystallize.

01:51:16.000 And so a lot of people on the right are just natural contrarians.

01:51:18.000 And so they don't actually realize, like, hey, Trump is in power.

01:51:21.000 You can just do things.

01:51:22.000 They're instantly skeptical of everything.

01:51:23.000 And that just causes further blackpilling.

01:51:25.000 Well, you're right.

01:51:26.000 Trump is in power.

01:51:27.000 You can just do things.

01:51:28.000 And then when Trump doesn't do the thing that they want him to do, whether he has the authority to do it or not, they're just like, ah, well, screw it then.

01:51:36.000 He's not going to.

01:51:37.000 And I understand the frustration because, you know, you want to see the policies that you voted for implemented.

01:51:42.000 You want to see more people, like deportations is a big deal to a lot of people.

01:51:48.000 And I think that the administration is saying that there's been 2 million people deported, which is, you know, that's a considerable amount of people.

01:51:55.000 But the amount of people that actually came in during the Biden administration, it's not even close to enough.

01:51:59.000 So there are people that are just like, oh, you know, nothing ever happens.

01:52:02.000 We're not getting what we wanted.

01:52:03.000 Yeah, it was never nothing.

01:52:04.000 It was nothing ever happens.

01:52:06.000 It was nothing ever changes.

01:52:07.000 Nothing, it seems like no matter what happens, everything just seems to stay the same in a lot of ways.

01:52:12.000 Yeah, Trump is the thing that changes everything.

01:52:15.000 It's just that it happens so slow, no one notices.

01:52:15.000 Yeah.

01:52:18.000 Well, and so much stuff happens in a row now, like where, you know, a couple of big things used to happen and it felt like all of it.

01:52:24.000 Now, so many things happen right in a row.

01:52:27.000 You're like, all of this, all of these things are happening and nothing is changing.

01:52:30.000 But Trump himself is the rebuke of like Fukuyama's, like, we're at the end of the end of the rope here.

01:52:35.000 I mean, like, he is that, we're discussing it in the green room.

01:52:38.000 Like, he is that Napoleonic figure that's reemerged in the 21st century that I don't think people anticipated would happen.

01:52:44.000 And he came, he came out of reality TV.

01:52:46.000 So it's like, I mean, things can change quite rapidly.

01:52:49.000 It's just, I don't know.

01:52:50.000 I think to Tim's point, like, the world actually is so wild.

01:52:53.000 The stories are so wild that people are, the level of like wildness keeps raising and people keep getting numb to that level as it continues to tick upwards.

01:53:00.000 It's a drug.

01:53:01.000 It's an addiction.

01:53:01.000 Right.

01:53:02.000 As I explained this with the emergence of Donald Trump and how he came to be, you know, a Nazi, right? 0.65

01:53:09.000 So a blog writes, Donald Trump makes a racist statement, million views.

01:53:15.000 Then they're like, wow, we got a million views on that.

01:53:17.000 Let's, what else do we have? 0.99

01:53:19.000 Well, he's just a racist. 0.99

01:53:20.000 Let's write up how he's a racist. 0.97

01:53:22.000 So then they went up it. 1.00

01:53:23.000 Trump is a racist. 0.98

01:53:24.000 What do they do next? 1.00

01:53:25.000 Trump is the most racist. 1.00

01:53:28.000 Trump is almost as bad as Hitler. 1.00

01:53:30.000 Trump is as bad as Hitler. 1.00

01:53:32.000 Trump is worse than Hitler. 0.99

01:53:33.000 They just keep having to do more because people get, it's like, I've heard this already. 0.90

01:53:38.000 And they're still doing it too.

01:53:39.000 Well, see, the people talking about, oh, Donald Trump is Hitler. 1.00

01:53:42.000 Donald Trump is racist. 0.98

01:53:42.000 Right, but the point is, we've reached apex. 0.98

01:53:45.000 So I was talking to this guy over the weekend.

01:53:49.000 I was just hanging out here for Thanksgiving.

01:53:52.000 And this dude told me a couple of things.

01:53:54.000 He said that he unsubscribed from Charlie Kirk because he said it's just, it's not him.

01:54:00.000 And he knows nothing else is coming.

01:54:01.000 So he decided just to close that chapter.

01:54:04.000 But he's like, honestly, it's like I watch your show too, but I'm just sick and tired of hearing the exact same thing over and over again.

01:54:10.000 Like every day, it's everybody putting up videos that say the exact same thing.

01:54:16.000 And so at a certain point, it's just, I'm done.

01:54:19.000 I'm not going to watch this.

01:54:20.000 I think we have reached the apex of dopamine trigger in news and politics.

01:54:28.000 There's nothing more to be said.

01:54:30.000 Like Charlie Kirk's assassination, I think, shattered the veil of whatever this political circumstance was.

01:54:37.000 Now, I'm not saying it's not going to get worse or who knows, but that was a moment where people kind of were just like, I think a lot of people are like, I'm done.

01:54:49.000 You've told me about tariffs 800 times already.

01:54:51.000 You've told me about immigration 800 times already.

01:54:53.000 Democrats obstruct.

01:54:54.000 Trump does a thing every day.

01:54:57.000 It's the exact same thing.

01:54:59.000 Nothing ever changes.

01:55:01.000 And then you see Charlie get murdered.

01:55:04.000 The coalition is breaking.

01:55:06.000 And I think, you know, why do people, why do people watch Catus watch Candace?

01:55:10.000 Because she's found a way to continually one-up it. 0.60

01:55:13.000 Bridget McCrone's a man. 0.98

01:55:14.000 They're trying to kill me.

01:55:15.000 The French Foreign Legion is after me.

01:55:17.000 I mean, she's gone to another dimension.

01:55:20.000 It's one thing to be in the news space and say something like, Democrats are now trying to do this crazy thing, but it's based in reality.

01:55:29.000 At a certain point, people are like, We get it.

01:55:31.000 Democrats want to put you in prison. 0.77

01:55:32.000 They want to put Trump in prison.

01:55:33.000 Okay, like, what's going to happen? 1.00

01:55:36.000 So, Candace is like, they have a penis. 1.00

01:55:40.000 And it's like, okay, she's found a way to one-up the dopamine trigger beyond the news cycle by being crazy, by saying things that are just outlandish, or it's innuendo and vague. 0.99

01:55:52.000 And that can only go so far as well.

01:55:54.000 But it works for now.

01:55:56.000 That to me is like a tailspin about to crash into an island.

01:56:03.000 Because sooner or later, the bill comes due, and she has no receipts for anything.

01:56:08.000 Nope.

01:56:09.000 So if she keeps trying to chase this, you'd think at a certain point, she'd go a different direction.

01:56:14.000 Three months, she's just talking about Charlie nonstop all day, every day.

01:56:18.000 Nothing else. 0.90

01:56:21.000 Silly, but it's what gets clicks, apparently. 0.99

01:56:24.000 You know, indeed. 0.99

01:56:27.000 You got to find a way to what up it.

01:56:29.000 And right now, everyone in the political space is basically at a point where it's like, been there, done that.

01:56:32.000 Trump's president.

01:56:33.000 Democrats aren't doing anything.

01:56:34.000 They don't stand for anything.

01:56:35.000 And they're not fighting for much right now.

01:56:36.000 The woke battle is largely over.

01:56:38.000 Bud Light Target, all these things have lost.

01:56:41.000 So there's no rallying cry anymore.

01:56:44.000 I guess if you found a new villain, Israel, you've got something. 1.00

01:56:48.000 They're the universal villain, you know.

01:56:50.000 And now the war in Gaza is basically over, but it's still, you know, the topic that gets a ton of people fired up because there are people that believe they have too much influence in the United States policy.

01:57:04.000 And, you know, that's arguable.

01:57:05.000 They do have outsized influence considering the actual impact the country has on the average American.

01:57:14.000 But I don't think that that's something that the average American really cares about.

01:57:18.000 It's just a small group of people that'll click on anything that was critical of Israel.

01:57:23.000 Nate Wessels says, Tim, are you able to address what happened with Charlie Kirk's show episodes on Apple and Spotify?

01:57:29.000 It seems all episodes of 4 October 8th are gone.

01:57:32.000 They removed them because Charlie's dead, perhaps?

01:57:34.000 I don't know.

01:57:37.000 I can give you internal marketing reasons.

01:57:38.000 You can come up with every reason you want.

01:57:40.000 If I say something creepy and fantastical, will more people want to watch the show?

01:57:44.000 Maybe do that.

01:57:46.000 But I can tell you this: when you change distributors, there's like podcasts aren't like YouTube where you can upload a video and it's just there on YouTube.

01:57:54.000 For podcasting, it's typically they will be good service and you upload it to your service and then provide the RSS to a bunch of other platforms so it appears.

01:58:03.000 So if it's not an Apple and Spotify, it could be that the RSS broke, something as simple as that.

01:58:07.000 It could be that they moved to a new provider.

01:58:10.000 So now Apple and Spotify are calling to dead links so it doesn't pull up anymore.

01:58:16.000 Or it could be that they removed him because Charlie died.

01:58:18.000 That's literally like my, there was my favorite podcast of all time was this guy who did a podcast about the show person of interest.

01:58:24.000 His name's David Vox Mullen.

01:58:26.000 And apparently like the links got taken down years ago and I bug him on X to like, I'm like, can you like, I know it would be like an insane amount of your time, but could you re-upload these somewhere because I want them?

01:58:35.000 I don't think anybody else does.

01:58:37.000 Sadly, he's too busy for it.

01:58:39.000 Maybe you can just burn it on a CD and send it over to you.

01:58:42.000 Such a good idea.

01:58:44.000 Send a thumb drive.

01:58:46.000 All right.

01:58:48.000 Catald Swiss says, isn't Candace a known doxer? 0.99

01:58:51.000 Well, I mean, she did that in the past. 0.98

01:58:54.000 I don't lord that or hold that over people for what they do today.

01:58:56.000 What they do today is what you criticize them for.

01:58:58.000 You know, if somebody wants, if somebody does something bad and then later on, they're like, I shouldn't have done that.

01:59:01.000 It's whatever.

01:59:03.000 Petty Eddie says, Cam Higby just posted a YouTube video concerning Candace and her attacks on people, including him.

01:59:10.000 Well, she's really burning every bridge she has. 1.00

01:59:13.000 That's the thing.

01:59:14.000 Like, I think Megan Kelly was scared to criticize Candace because she's scared that Candace Owens' audience would attack her or come after her and she'd lose subscribers or whatever. 1.00

01:59:23.000 You know, everyone's got audience overlap.

01:59:26.000 And if you go to war and you're the aggressor, someone's going to choose and then you're going to lose money or whatever.

01:59:30.000 That's why when Ben Shapiro said to Megan Kelly that Candace insinuating Erica Kirk killed Charlie is evil, Megan was just like very standoffish and then later came out and said she never said that when it's like, she said literally everything around that.

01:59:43.000 So any like when, so let me just put it this way.

01:59:48.000 You know what really pushes me to the limit?

01:59:50.000 When there are three young guys that I meet and they're like, do you really think Erica killed Charlie?

01:59:54.000 And I was like, do you watch Candace's show?

01:59:56.000 And I'm like, did Candace say that?

01:59:58.000 We're like, come on, dude.

01:59:59.000 When regular people on the street come to me and they're like, that's what I believe because of Candace?

02:00:04.000 And then Candace's like, but I never said that.

02:00:06.000 Right.

02:00:07.000 But you implied that either she's working alongside the people who killed Charlie and she's not smart enough to realize what's happening.

02:00:13.000 She's ignorant of what's going on or she was involved.

02:00:16.000 So when I meet people on the street and they're asking me about it and they think Erica killed Charlie, I'm like, wow, Candace is really going off the rails and causing problems and hurting people. 0.96

02:00:28.000 That's so messed up, man. 0.99

02:00:29.000 It sucks. 0.97

02:00:31.000 Whatever. 0.99

02:00:32.000 You know, this is what happens.

02:00:35.000 Wyatt Kaldenberg says, Google 105 is a UPS store.

02:00:39.000 105 to 503 are mailboxes at the address, UPS store.

02:00:43.000 UPS store rents mailboxes.

02:00:45.000 The businesses use a private mailbox.

02:00:47.000 And that guy has 200,000 views.

02:00:49.000 If he's getting a, let's say he's getting a $5 CPM, he's going to have $10,000 off that video just from YouTube spots alone.

02:00:57.000 But maybe, well, no, no, no.

02:00:59.000 I'm sorry.

02:01:00.000 I'm sorry.

02:01:00.000 That was way off.

02:01:01.000 I was way off on that one.

02:01:01.000 $1,000.

02:01:02.000 He'll make about $1,000 from that video.

02:01:05.000 And then if he sells any sponsorship reads or anything like that after the fact, he'll make money.

02:01:09.000 But he also builds subscribers.

02:01:11.000 There's money to be made.

02:01:13.000 You can choose to be honest.

02:01:15.000 Here's what I'll say.

02:01:16.000 Here's the direction we went before we go to the uncensored portion of the show.

02:01:19.000 When I first started doing all of this stuff, I came from working at ABC News, the joint venture Fusion, but I had an ABC News badge.

02:01:25.000 I worked at the ABC office in New York.

02:01:28.000 And people were desperate for honesty, authenticity.

02:01:32.000 So on social media, you've always had weird grifters and fake news for sure.

02:01:36.000 But people went to social media to try and find someone being honest about what was going on.

02:01:42.000 And then my channel started to grow.

02:01:44.000 Today, the corporate press is largely dead.

02:01:45.000 Nobody watches cable TV news.

02:01:47.000 Now, those same grifter-type people who make fake content are just now working on social media.

02:01:53.000 And you have one example we've brought up is there are people who will take a video of me from Timcast IRL, make it appear like a debate.

02:02:02.000 They'll take me saying various sentences.

02:02:04.000 They'll take Jenk Uger.

02:02:06.000 Then they'll put a graphic over both of us so it looks like we're doing a Zoom debate.

02:02:11.000 And then they'll make a fake headline and they'll get 50,000 views.

02:02:14.000 And YouTube allows it.

02:02:16.000 And people in the comments are saying, wait a minute, this is fake.

02:02:20.000 Doesn't matter.

02:02:20.000 He already got the views.

02:02:21.000 He already made the money.

02:02:22.000 He already got the subscribers.

02:02:23.000 And some people just don't realize it's fake.

02:02:25.000 Then you got people like Sam Cedar, who just literally makes a living taking clips of me out of context to trick people because he is evil. 1.00

02:02:31.000 He is a scumbag. 0.99

02:02:33.000 And this is the world that we have right now. 1.00

02:02:35.000 Everyone's going to go collectively insane.

02:02:37.000 And Candace is just the king of it. 1.00

02:02:39.000 So smash the like button.

02:04:11.000 Thanks for hanging out.

02:05:14.000 So this is the big debate.

02:05:16.000 The Stranger Things intro. 0.99

02:05:18.000 He absolutely orally rapes a little boy. 0.99

02:05:22.000 It's one thing if Vecna grabbed the kid and then jammed something in his throat and dumped fluid in his stomach. 0.99

02:05:31.000 That's still kind of weird, but horror-esque and not that big a deal.

02:05:34.000 You know, putting worms or someone in some of his body is fine.

02:05:37.000 The issue is he pins him against the wall, the tentacle goes up to his mouth and goes over his mouth and then starts pumping his mouth full of fluid.

02:05:45.000 And then Vecna leans back and goes, oh, and I'm like, Yeah, okay.

02:05:50.000 Like, come on.

02:05:51.000 Well, there was that's the line.

02:05:53.000 There was the scene in the previous season where the kid puked up what became one of the monsters.

02:06:01.000 I think it was the dog Gorgon thing.

02:06:03.000 So I watched it, and that wasn't what came to mind for me personally. 0.99

02:06:07.000 When Vecna leans back, rolls his eyes back while his tube is in a child's mouth, and it's squirting, and he's going, oh, I'm like, what the fuck are they doing? 0.68

02:06:18.000 You know, like I said, that's not what came to mind for me when I saw it. 0.89

02:06:21.000 You watched that scene?

02:06:22.000 Yeah, I watched it.

02:06:23.000 You saw him lean his head back like he was busting a load?

02:06:25.000 I don't recall that, but uh, that was it for me.

02:06:29.000 If he didn't lean back like it was a shot in a porno, I would have been like, Well, you know, it's kind of weird.

02:06:36.000 I can understand what Jack is saying, but that I went like, oh my God, yeah, the discussion.

02:06:41.000 The discussion that I had with people about that scene is like, depending on whether you watched it in the show or whether you watch it after Jack made his post about it, where he turns it into the issue of the discussion about what happens, it might predispose you to what you're saying, like saying Phil saw it and he's like, he doesn't even remember the part you're talking about.

02:06:57.000 But when I saw the reaction from Vecna, I was like, oh, you saw it?

02:07:02.000 I saw the clip of the IB show.

02:07:03.000 He throws his head back and he goes, oh, I'm like, whoa, what?

02:07:07.000 Can we pull it up?

02:07:08.000 Other than that, that's like the trope of like face huggers and thing that's been around.

02:07:13.000 That's the thing that kind of like remind me of is like, oh, it's a call.

02:07:16.000 It's an alien.

02:07:17.000 Yep.

02:07:17.000 Or aliens or what have you.

02:07:19.000 Yeah, no, you can.

02:07:21.000 The clip. 0.99

02:07:25.000 We'll just jump to the part where he orally rapes the little boy. 0.98

02:07:25.000 I don't. 0.98

02:07:28.000 Just look for Pesobic's clip.

02:07:30.000 Oh, he posted it?

02:07:31.000 Wasn't it Pesobic who posted it? 0.99

02:07:33.000 He talked about it.

02:07:38.000 He's caressing

02:08:21.000 his forehead while he's doing it.

02:08:23.000 Yeah.

02:08:25.000 Such beautiful things.

02:08:30.000 Jack pointed out that an alien, the facehuggers were literally meant to be an analogy of rape or to symbolize rape. 0.98

02:08:38.000 He's stroking his head saying we're doing beautiful things while he's got a tube in his mouth. 0.96

02:08:42.000 And he went, oh, Adam. 0.94

02:08:44.000 Look, I get it's not literally a one-for-one porn scene.

02:08:47.000 It is a weird horror movie, but I get what Jack is saying.

02:08:50.000 That's not something you want your kids to see.

02:08:52.000 Well, I mean, that's fair.

02:08:54.000 I imagine there would be parents that would have an issue with their kids seeing this.

02:08:57.000 But like I said, I didn't get the sexual connotations from it.

02:09:00.000 I thought that it was very boilerplate horror stuff.

02:09:03.000 Him caressing his forehead with his hand very slowly is not.

02:09:06.000 Like I said, I didn't pick up the sexual.

02:09:11.000 I want to break this down.

02:09:12.000 You don't.

02:09:13.000 Are you saying there's no sexual connotation with a man stroking a little boy's head that way?

02:09:16.000 I'm saying that my impression when I watched it.

02:09:19.000 Right now, I'm not asking about when you didn't see it and you weren't willing to pay it.

02:09:22.000 You're sitting there and you're and Netflix knows people are not really hyper-focused on all the details.

02:09:26.000 I'm saying when Jack analyzes this, would you currently now disagree with what he's saying based on what we are saying?

02:09:34.000 When you see him throw his head back and groan and then start caressing the little boy's head, you would say that's not sexual?

02:09:41.000 I don't feel like it was intended to be sexual.

02:09:43.000 But I mean, like, I get what you're saying.

02:09:45.000 If you're, if you're looking for a moment, I'm just not asking that.

02:09:49.000 What do you, what are you asking me?

02:09:51.000 I can see why someone would say that.

02:09:53.000 Do you think there is sexual innuendo analogy with a male adult creature putting a tentacle into a boy's mouth and pumping him full of fluid while he throws his head back and then strokes his head that that goes in?

02:10:09.000 I don't think that that was the intent.

02:10:10.000 I don't ask you about intention.

02:10:13.000 So, okay, so I don't see that as sexual.

02:10:16.000 So that's what I'm saying.

02:10:16.000 Okay.

02:10:17.000 This is what I find weird because every time I would ask you, is that sexual?

02:10:20.000 You'd say, I don't think intention.

02:10:21.000 Well, no, I didn't say intentional.

02:10:23.000 I don't see that, is what I said before.

02:10:25.000 I think it is.

02:10:26.000 What do you think?

02:10:28.000 I mean, he's stroking the little boy's head saying we're going to do beautiful things together while the kid's gagging on his tentacle.

02:10:34.000 Yeah, I mean, there's a subtext.

02:10:37.000 Yeah, there's a subtext.

02:10:38.000 And like you said, about the alien and the H.R. Giga stuff, I mean, it was obviously intended.

02:10:44.000 It was intended to be.

02:10:45.000 And then with Prometheus, they actually impregnate her, and she has to have a C-section. 0.97

02:10:50.000 So not that there's a relation, but what Jack was pointing out is that movies have done this.

02:10:56.000 I think he was mentioning the relation between the producers or something, that they have intentionally done this. 0.97

02:11:02.000 And I turned this on and I was like, first of all, what's the fucking point of this scene? 0.96

02:11:07.000 Why do it this way? 0.88

02:11:08.000 What's interesting as well, actually, about Alien, about H.R. Giga, is that, you know, like at the time, male rape was a big taboo.

02:11:16.000 I mean, it still is a big taboo.

02:11:18.000 But you know what I mean? 0.96

02:11:19.000 Like, to depict that in a movie, male rape. 0.99

02:11:23.000 I mean, you know, and the facehugger is kind of like a mixture of a vagina and I mean, there's something kind of feminine about the facehugger, but also masculine, the kind of penis. 0.99

02:11:33.000 It's androgynous. 0.99

02:11:35.000 So, I mean, what's the current taboo? 0.99

02:11:37.000 The kind of last remaining taboo is raping kids, right? 0.96

02:11:40.000 No. 0.99

02:11:41.000 I mean, I don't know.

02:11:43.000 But the other thing that's wrong with the show is there's going to be a bunch of different endings.

02:11:46.000 And it's just.

02:11:47.000 Yeah.

02:11:47.000 What?

02:11:48.000 Choose your own ending.

02:11:49.000 And I guess one of the endings is that it turns out they're all just playing a game in the basement.

02:11:53.000 Do you have to watch a VPN to, or do you have to get a VPN to check the different endings and stuff?

02:11:57.000 Yeah, probably.

02:11:58.000 Probably.

02:11:59.000 Apparently, they've already revealed one of the endings, not directly, but they said it's a fan favorite.

02:12:06.000 And the response from the fans was, the ending they're talking about is after the battle is over, the camera is going to show them in the basement playing DD.

02:12:15.000 And they're going to be like, wow, that was fun.

02:12:17.000 And that's it.

02:12:17.000 And the whole show was, the reason why it's nonsensical and Russia was involved was because it was just kids playing a game.

02:12:23.000 It was all a dream.

02:12:25.000 Did you watch Legend of Vox Machina based on Critical Role?

02:12:29.000 Yes.

02:12:29.000 Have you watched the new one, 99?

02:12:31.000 I tried one episode and I'm like, I can't take this.

02:12:34.000 Everything's done.

02:12:35.000 Culture is over.

02:12:37.000 That's just it.

02:12:38.000 Right now, I'm just looking at the YouTube player and I'm like, I'm looking at Triton Poker Cash Game has only 763 people watching and I'm just like.

02:12:47.000 What was the last, like for everyone around the table, what was the last piece of entertainment that you saw that you actually thought was original?

02:12:56.000 It was original?

02:12:59.000 It was that yesterday movie, the Beatles movie that came out a few years ago.

02:13:02.000 That was about the Beatles.

02:13:03.000 I enjoyed that.

02:13:04.000 That was a good one.

02:13:05.000 The Beatles are an institution, so they're playing off.

02:13:05.000 But it's original.

02:13:07.000 But you saw that movie, right?

02:13:09.000 No.

02:13:09.000 One day, like, he wakes up and no one can remember any Beatles song.

02:13:12.000 Oh, okay.

02:13:13.000 He generally knows most of them.

02:13:15.000 So he starts writing songs and they're all big hits.

02:13:19.000 Wow.

02:13:19.000 I really liked it.

02:13:20.000 And it was like, no one done that before.

02:13:22.000 I was like, oh, yeah.

02:13:23.000 And you walk out thinking, could I remember all of the hits of, you know, if I had to remember all the All That Remains songs overnight, would I be able to do it?

02:13:30.000 I could do that.

02:13:31.000 Actually, no, I couldn't.

02:13:32.000 We're at 10 records now.

02:13:33.000 I'm sure I'd forget a lot of them.

02:13:35.000 What should I make an image of?

02:13:38.000 Have you guys seen Begonia?

02:13:39.000 I got it.

02:13:40.000 Elon Musk at a conference. 1.00

02:13:44.000 I'm going to show you how stupid this is. 1.00

02:13:47.000 Oh, is this it? 1.00

02:13:48.000 You like the movie?

02:13:49.000 It's only making one video.

02:13:50.000 Wait, is it making a video?

02:13:51.000 No, it's making a photo, right?

02:13:52.000 I don't know, whatever.

02:13:53.000 It's making something.

02:13:54.000 It's just Grolk.

02:13:55.000 Yeah.

02:13:56.000 Grok's incredible.

02:14:00.000 They're all good and bad at different things. 1.00

02:14:01.000 Grok makes too much shit up. 1.00

02:14:03.000 It annoys me. 1.00

02:14:05.000 Fact it's this.

02:14:07.000 And he's Asian.

02:14:08.000 Why is he Asian? 0.99

02:14:11.000 Fact it's this.

02:14:12.000 Why is he Asian? 0.99

02:14:13.000 He's Asian and nervous. 1.00

02:14:15.000 You want to do image first.

02:14:16.000 What should we make an image of?

02:14:17.000 Eron.

02:14:19.000 That's Elon Musk.

02:14:19.000 That's that.

02:14:21.000 Cyberpunk Elon Musk.

02:14:28.000 It's fast, too.

02:14:29.000 Look at this.

02:14:31.000 All right.

02:14:31.000 Now you click this.

02:14:33.000 We then go to video options.

02:14:36.000 We want spicy. 0.70

02:14:38.000 I am 18 or older.

02:14:39.000 And then we have it generate a spicy video of Elon Musk, which you will all regret seeing in about one minute.

02:14:45.000 This picture is like every Indian's profile picture. 0.97

02:14:48.000 It's always like a variation.

02:14:49.000 Yeah, they're calling this the most Indian picture.

02:14:52.000 We're reaching levels of Indian 59%. 1.00

02:14:55.000 Is it going to go?

02:14:56.000 Because this is going to scar you for life.

02:14:57.000 You've been warned.

02:14:58.000 This is the uncensored portion of the show.

02:15:00.000 Face hugger too.

02:15:01.000 Elon Yang, someone said, Elon Yang.

02:15:03.000 Oh, my God.

02:15:06.000 Oh, he personally intervened.

02:15:08.000 He's watching.

02:15:09.000 We're trying again.

02:15:10.000 Like, shut it down.

02:15:11.000 What was it going to show?

02:15:13.000 What was it?

02:15:14.000 So I just clicked their video option for spicy.

02:15:16.000 It was like him and Ashley Sinclair.

02:15:18.000 Spicy means soft core corner.

02:15:22.000 Wow.

02:15:22.000 Yeah, it's going to be like, no, we can't do that.

02:15:23.000 Don't make soft cool porn.

02:15:25.000 No, but it's a preset.

02:15:26.000 I didn't.

02:15:26.000 You need to do it.

02:15:27.000 I didn't know what it meant.

02:15:29.000 And so when I was making a Grok. 0.98

02:15:32.000 Oh, look at that.

02:15:33.000 Yo, I didn't.

02:15:33.000 Nope.

02:15:35.000 No, I didn't tell it to do it.

02:15:36.000 There's got to be a way around it.

02:15:37.000 Maybe you have to paraphrase.

02:15:39.000 Well, I'm not telling it to do anything.

02:15:40.000 It's just cyberpunk Elon Musk.

02:15:42.000 And then I say, make a video.

02:15:43.000 Option is spicy.

02:15:44.000 And it keeps when it's moderating it. 0.99

02:15:46.000 Usually that means my understanding is that it was going to show his junk. 0.99

02:15:50.000 Oh. 0.99

02:15:52.000 No, Elon Wang.

02:15:54.000 It's soft core.

02:15:55.000 We don't need the facehugger. 1.00

02:15:56.000 Okay, we made it 70%.

02:15:57.000 72, 73.

02:15:58.000 I think we might make it, boys.

02:16:00.000 Come on, please.

02:16:01.000 I want to see this so bad.

02:16:02.000 Nope.

02:16:03.000 Elon is all like the birth rates, the birth rates.

02:16:06.000 Here's some soft core.

02:16:07.000 Yeah, literally. 0.99

02:16:07.000 Here's my junk. 0.99

02:16:09.000 Here's the black pill machine. 1.00

02:16:11.000 I'll nuke everything you try to do. 0.94

02:16:12.000 This is interesting.

02:16:14.000 So I've made a bunch of images, and I didn't know what the video options were.

02:16:20.000 And so I saw spicy, fun, and oh, 85, 86, 90.

02:16:23.000 Oh, no, no, no, no.

02:16:24.000 We got it, boys.

02:16:26.000 Feel the neon heat with me.

02:16:32.000 Feel the neon heat with me.

02:16:37.000 I'm glad that we.

02:16:38.000 Everyone's seen that picture of him on the yacht.

02:16:40.000 He does not look like that.

02:16:41.000 No, he doesn't.

02:16:43.000 What if we do fun?

02:16:44.000 Fun shouldn't get moderated.

02:16:45.000 So I didn't know what spicy was at first.

02:16:48.000 And I was trying Grok for the first time.

02:16:49.000 And I said, make I was like Elon Musk riding a motorcycle or something.

02:16:55.000 And it showed him with like a leather jacket and sunglasses.

02:16:57.000 And then I was like, oh, we'll do a video.

02:16:58.000 What's spicy?

02:16:59.000 And I clicked it, and it was him going like, hello there.

02:17:02.000 And he ripped his shirt off. 1.00

02:17:03.000 And I was like, what the fuck? 1.00

02:17:05.000 Yeah. 0.99

02:17:07.000 Behold, the future of nutrition.

02:17:08.000 Invisible snacks.

02:17:09.000 Watch this.

02:17:11.000 That was terrible.

02:17:13.000 Behold, the future of nutrition.

02:17:15.000 Visible snacks.

02:17:16.000 Are not all snacks visible?

02:17:17.000 I guess the Eucharist is the invisible.

02:17:19.000 Yeah, there's some invisible snacks.

02:17:20.000 Invisible snacks.

02:17:22.000 Besides that, it's all visible.

02:17:25.000 All right.

02:17:26.000 It's getting very Indian. 1.00

02:17:27.000 No, don't worry.

02:17:28.000 I got one.

02:17:28.000 And then we'll go to callers.

02:17:30.000 It's getting very subcontinental.

02:17:31.000 I had Grok make an invoice for $7,000 to Zijus.

02:17:36.000 Yeah.

02:17:37.000 Can we animate the video of the raccoon?

02:17:39.000 See, like maybe how it played out in the bathroom.

02:17:41.000 The spicy version of that raccoon?

02:17:43.000 No.

02:17:44.000 That could be interesting.

02:17:45.000 That could be interesting.

02:17:46.000 The peanut butter whiskey sounded.

02:17:47.000 Hear me out.

02:17:49.000 You know, Zootopia was good.

02:17:52.000 It might fail.

02:17:53.000 Walk with me, Phil.

02:17:53.000 Come on.

02:17:55.000 Walk with me down this hole.

02:17:56.000 Pause.

02:17:58.000 All right, boys.

02:17:59.000 Drunk raccoon facehuggers, Zootopia, spicy.

02:17:59.000 Raccoon.

02:18:02.000 Now I want it.

02:18:04.000 What do you say? 0.99

02:18:05.000 Drunk raccoon. 0.98

02:18:06.000 Drunk raccoon. 0.98

02:18:07.000 Facehugger. 0.90

02:18:08.000 Facehugger.

02:18:10.000 Utopia.

02:18:11.000 Can you squeeze Sidney Sweeney here somehow?

02:18:13.000 Just somewhere in between the lines.

02:18:16.000 Yep, that's good.

02:18:17.000 Thank you.

02:18:18.000 Drunk raccoon face hugger utopia with Sidney Sweeney.

02:18:21.000 That's my politics. 0.99

02:18:23.000 What the hell? 0.92

02:18:24.000 What is going on? 0.94

02:18:24.000 Okay, you know, I regret this. 0.94

02:18:27.000 Bottom right, animated.

02:18:29.000 Yeah, make it a spicy video.

02:18:31.000 I did normal first.

02:18:32.000 What?

02:18:33.000 Oh, wait, I want normal.

02:18:34.000 There's nothing normal about this.

02:18:35.000 There is nothing normal about this.

02:18:36.000 That's accurate.

02:18:37.000 Is it going to be her?

02:18:38.000 Is she the owner?

02:18:39.000 Let's get started with today's session.

02:18:40.000 I've got a few things to.

02:18:42.000 You'll see.

02:18:42.000 What?

02:18:43.000 You'll see.

02:18:44.000 After this, though.

02:18:46.000 Is he drunk?

02:18:47.000 Is he intoxicating?

02:18:48.000 That was not the raccoon.

02:18:49.000 Saying the alphabet backwards, possibly.

02:18:52.000 Saying the alphabet backwards. That's powerful.

02:19:00.000 That's kind of powerful.

02:19:01.000 What do you think about it?

02:19:02.000 All right, boys.

02:19:03.000 Here we go.

02:19:04.000 No, no.

02:19:06.000 So let's get started with today's session.

02:19:08.000 I've got a few things to cover, and I think you'll find this interesting.

02:19:12.000 So let's get.

02:19:15.000 Do we want spicy?

02:19:16.000 Or do we want?

02:19:17.000 Yes.

02:19:18.000 Can we get the demographics of the channel?

02:19:22.000 Oh, you're killing me?

02:19:24.000 This is going to be HR violation.

02:19:26.000 This has to be HR violation.

02:19:27.000 Unfortunate.

02:19:28.000 Unfortunate.

02:19:29.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:19:29.000 Just get killed. 1.00

02:19:30.000 Have you seen the videos of society totally breaking down and collapsing? 0.99

02:19:35.000 Where the guy will go to a Walmart and he'll take pictures of people and then make them doing things and then show them. 1.00

02:19:42.000 That's so fucked up, dude. 0.99

02:19:44.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:19:44.000 I don't want that. 1.00

02:19:46.000 There's.

02:19:48.000 Pink water.

02:19:51.000 It's dead.

02:19:53.000 Well, it happens.

02:19:53.000 Yeah.

02:19:55.000 All right.

02:19:56.000 More like you than the last one.

02:19:58.000 How about the room is actually a speeding city bus, and he is driving.

02:20:06.000 The floor is locked.

02:20:07.000 Can we get when I get attacked by that drunken raccoon?

02:20:09.000 I'm just still caught up on the drunk.

02:20:11.000 It's got my mind racing.

02:20:13.000 Specifically with regards to the facehugger.

02:20:16.000 We haven't explored that enough, I don't think, as a team, as a unit.

02:20:20.000 Surge.

02:20:21.000 Say puisen, thank you, extra spicy.

02:20:23.000 Surge knows what I'm saying.

02:20:24.000 People say do spicy Ian.

02:20:26.000 Ian's not here, and I've got a picture of Ian.

02:20:28.000 Surge is aligned.

02:20:29.000 Didn't he upload himself?

02:20:30.000 Which one did he upload himself?

02:20:31.000 Here, look.

02:20:33.000 There's no sound.

02:20:35.000 That's literally me.

02:20:39.000 Dude, that's crazy.

02:20:41.000 They gave me like fetal alcohol syndrome.

02:20:43.000 It's not a bus.

02:20:45.000 Somebody out there who like live streams who's got like a sure SM7B in their bus as they're driving it.

02:20:53.000 I imagine there is.

02:20:55.000 Someone.
