Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - South Park Goes FULL CHARLIE KIRK, Latest Episode ROASTS Trump Again | Timcast IRL

00:02:42.000 Before we get started, there's a tsunami advisory for Hawaii.

00:02:47.000 An 8.0 magnitude earthquake was near Russia, so it looks like the tsunami advisory, I should say, an advisory, going out to all of Hawaii.

00:02:55.000 This is breaking just as we're getting started for the show.

00:02:58.000 And considering it could save lives, you know, we'll always try to make sure we get those messages out to anybody who may be listening out in Hawaii or anywhere in the Pacific.

00:03:05.000 Please stay safe, everybody, and we'll be monitoring the situation to see what happens.

00:03:09.000 In the meantime, we're going to be talking about things that are substantially less relevant, but still relevant to the culture.

00:03:13.000 And that is South Park's latest episode, though not out.

00:03:16.000 They put out a trailer, and Cartman is Charlie Kirk.

00:03:20.000 Now, this matters, my friends, because it basically means, I got to say it, I know the left is going to whinge and whine about it.

00:03:25.000 Feels like we won the culture war.

00:03:27.000 That's it.

00:03:28.000 They didn't make a single episode about Joe Biden or Harris.

00:03:31.000 Now they're making episodes about Charlie Kirk.

00:03:34.000 Charlie made it.

00:03:35.000 Charlie Kirk changed his profile picture to that of Eric Cartman.

00:03:39.000 And I'm pretty sure South Park is older than Charlie Kirk is.

00:03:42.000 Easily.

00:03:43.000 Several years, in fact.

00:03:44.000 So it's pretty crazy to see that Charlie, TPSA, Trump, and this independent media space has become substantially more relevant than any other cultural reference that South Park could be mocking right now.

00:03:58.000 That could be a sign of the collapse of society, or maybe we've just won.

00:04:02.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:04:03.000 Plus, it looks like Stephen Colbert is trying to get fired.

00:04:07.000 Yeah.

00:04:08.000 At least it's a Time magazine that's saying he's basically begging to get fired by attacking his network mercilessly.

00:04:13.000 We'll talk about that.

00:04:14.000 And then we've got an interesting story.

00:04:15.000 I covered this in my morning show.

00:04:17.000 It's the Timoran New York City conspiracy theory.

00:04:20.000 While Eric Adams, the mayor, and the media have reported that this guy in New York in this mass shooting had a note in his pocket, a letter saying that he was targeting the NFL.

00:04:31.000 There are many believe that his true motivations was targeting Blackstone.

00:04:34.000 Blackstone has granted, the president of Blackstone gave the largest donation to Tel Aviv University in its history.

00:04:41.000 Not to mention one of the women, the executive that was killed, was a Jewish philanthropist.

00:04:45.000 And so some believe that this may have been motivated by this globalized Indifata movement.

00:04:50.000 The target that he went to was actually on a list of targets put up by these activists.

00:04:53.000 It's maybe conspiracy theory.

00:04:55.000 Nobody really knows for sure what this guy's motivation was, so we'll go through that.

00:04:58.000 And plus, we've got a bunch more stories to get through.

00:05:02.000 We've got a lot, actually.

00:05:03.000 Chat bots are now passing the Turing tests, so they claim.

00:05:06.000 Gen Z, college grads are basically unemployed. 1.00

00:05:09.000 We'll talk about that more.

00:05:10.000 But before we get up, we've got a great sponsor.

00:05:12.000 It is Alio.

00:05:14.000 My friends, we all know how the world has become increasingly divided politically, socially, economically.

00:05:19.000 But many of these divisions stem from a deeper misunderstanding of how money, markets, and policy actually work.

00:05:25.000 Wouldn't it be great if there was an investment app that was designed by people who understand a macro perspective and how global events affect your finances?

00:05:33.000 Now you can have the power in the palm of your hand with the Olio, sorry, capital app, powered by Altitude AI, which identified shifts in inflation, interest rates, and global risk.

00:07:41.000 It's not like it makes me feel groggy in the morning.

00:07:43.000 Nothing.

00:07:44.000 Like I wake up feeling like a million bucks better than I felt in a long time because I'm getting good sleep.

00:07:57.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much what we got, Steve Cortez.

00:08:01.000 Thank you.

00:08:01.000 Thrilled to be here.

00:08:02.000 First time.

00:08:03.000 Appreciate it.

00:08:03.000 Thank you.

00:08:04.000 Who are you?

00:08:04.000 What do you do?

00:08:05.000 So folks probably know me if they've seen a lot of cable news television over the years.

00:08:10.000 I think I'm one of the only people, I think maybe the only person who's been a paid contributor to the top four cable news networks.

00:08:16.000 So yes, I actually worked for Fox News as well as CNN.

00:08:20.000 My time at CNN, by the way, was at the request of President Trump.

00:08:23.000 I deserved combat pay because behind enemy lines, it was not fun.

00:08:27.000 I essentially did then what Scott Jennings does now.

00:08:30.000 The reason that Donald Trump asked me to do that is because I worked on his campaigns in 2016 and 2020.

00:08:35.000 So I'm a TV spokesman.

00:08:37.000 I do media messaging, helped direct Hispanic outreach for the Trump campaigns in 2016 and 2020, worked for outside groups on behalf of Donald Trump in 2024.

00:08:47.000 And currently I'm doing short documentaries, writing a lot of articles, still doing a lot of TV appearances and shows like yours, and promoting the message, getting ready for 2026 to try to win the midterm.

00:08:57.000 So I'm a campaign guy at heart, but care a lot about policy too.

00:09:00.000 Right on, thanks for hanging out.

00:09:01.000 We've got a lot.

00:09:02.000 He's hanging out.

00:09:02.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:09:03.000 Mr. Cortez, we're really happy to have you on tonight.

00:09:06.000 I've seen a lot of your work before, so really excited to get your expertise on a lot of different topics tonight.

00:09:11.000 I am Tim Cast's White House correspondent and field reporter.

00:09:15.000 Phil, how's it going?

00:09:16.000 How are you doing, everybody?

00:09:16.000 My name is Phil Labonte.

00:09:17.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.

00:09:19.000 I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.

00:09:21.000 Let's get into it.

00:09:22.000 Here's the news.

00:09:24.000 I call it news, but sure.

00:09:26.000 We got this from the post-millennial South Park features Cartman as Charlie Kirk in a new episode.

00:09:31.000 And Charlie Kirk has changed his profile picture to Eric Cartman.

00:09:36.000 This is amazing.

00:09:38.000 It is crazy to see that CBS is spending $1.5, what is it, $1.5 billion on this.

00:09:46.000 So that $1.5 billion, $30 million per episode.

00:09:51.000 And who is their target?

00:09:52.000 It's obviously Donald Trump.

00:09:54.000 He's the president.

00:09:55.000 But for Charlie Kirk, congratulations, man.

00:09:58.000 You made it.

00:09:59.000 It's wild because I'm pretty sure South Park is older than Charlie is.

00:10:03.000 Yeah.

00:10:03.000 By the way, so a huge win for Charlie Kirk, Chicago boy, like we are.

00:10:07.000 We love to see Chicago boys do well.

00:10:08.000 But more importantly for the country, you know, I think the point is here, you're right.

00:10:12.000 We are winning the culture war, right? 0.60

00:10:13.000 When South Park feels that they need to mock a show host and a campaign operative, albeit a super important one, like Charlie Kirk.

00:10:22.000 Also notable, CBS.

00:10:24.000 Let's remember, CBS had to pay a significant settlement to Donald Trump.

00:10:28.000 I think a huge, huge win for accountability.

00:10:30.000 I think one thing Trump is bringing in this second term is accountability, whether it's accountability for media, whether it's accountability for people who perpetrated the Russia hoax, but accountability.

00:10:39.000 You know, so many Americans have been so frustrated because we've been told lies time and again and just told, you have to accept it and you have to pretend it's the truth.

00:10:46.000 Well, we're done with that.

00:10:47.000 And Trump's the leader of that counter revolution of saying, no, there will be revelations, there will be transparency, and there's going to be accountability.

00:10:56.000 So I'm interested, I want to push back on that idea that the right is winning.

00:11:01.000 And only because I feel like the MAGA coalition is not just the right.

00:11:06.000 So what would you say to someone that said, maybe the right isn't winning, but the left is losing.

00:11:11.000 The left has lost a lot of people that used to be, the normie Democrats are leaving the left en masse.

00:11:19.000 And you've got a lot of people that were Democrats in the 90s that actually kind of created and started the meta coalition.

00:11:27.000 So what would you say to that?

00:11:28.000 No, listen, I think it's both, right?

00:11:29.000 And to me, it doesn't have to be either.

00:11:30.000 I don't think it has to be binary.

00:11:32.000 It can be both and.

00:11:33.000 Clearly, the Democrats have become so radicalized in the 2020s that they are totally inhospitable and unwelcoming to normal people.

00:11:41.000 And I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that.

00:11:42.000 So it's one of the key reasons that they've lost the working class. 0.98

00:11:45.000 It's not just about the economy.

00:11:46.000 That's key.

00:11:47.000 But it's also cultural issues, right?

00:11:48.000 I mean, a lot of working class people are highly religious.

00:11:51.000 They believe, for example, that there's two sexes.

00:11:53.000 I mean, go figure.

00:11:55.000 They don't like the Democratic Party that is obsessed with pronouns and forcing gender ideology and other crazy Marxist ideas down their throats.

00:12:02.000 35% approval rating, like record low, I think.

00:12:05.000 Record low.

00:12:05.000 It speaks to that.

00:12:06.000 Yeah, all-time low.

00:12:07.000 Now, not all of them are MAGA populist right people, right?

00:12:11.000 Some of them are, though, too.

00:12:12.000 And some of them are also, it's not just the negative of being repelled by the Democrat Party.

00:12:15.000 They're also attracted to a vision of muscular populist nationalism, right?

00:12:21.000 And I believe that that's why right now, for example, in polling, and I do a lot of polling, Trump's best issue by a lot is immigration.

00:12:28.000 It's where the media attacks him the most, right?

00:12:30.000 And they think they're going to make hay, and yet it's actually his strongest issue.

00:12:34.000 Because guess what?

00:12:35.000 Controlling the border doesn't just make sense for our national security and our street safety.

00:12:39.000 It's a huge economic issue.

00:12:40.000 Working class people know they're having to endure unjust, unlawful competition in the labor market from millions and millions of illegals, and they've had enough of it. 0.99

00:12:49.000 I think one of the things that Democrats are particularly shocked by, and maybe you could speak to a little bit more on this, is that Hispanics seem to be not as unsympathetic towards other Hispanics Being deported, that maybe Democrats would have thought.

00:13:02.000 So, in the past, Democrats thought immediately if Trump were to increase funding for ICE and increase deportation numbers, that this would harm him with those communities.

00:13:09.000 Maybe can you speak on that?

00:13:10.000 As I understand, you did Hispanic outreach on one of the Trump campaigns.

00:13:13.000 Yes, yeah, actually, both in 2016 and 2020.

00:13:16.000 No, I think this is one of the most amazing stories of the populist right movement, of the MAGA movement, is Hispanics coming en masse to the political right.

00:13:25.000 And I think it's a lasting movement.

00:13:26.000 But to that point of sort of the, let me give the evidence.

00:13:29.000 Last November, Trump nearly won Hispanics.

00:13:32.000 We know this from the Pew Validated Voter Survey.

00:13:34.000 He did win Hispanic men.

00:13:36.000 He won Hispanic men nationwide.

00:13:38.000 In the key areas, he won the overall Hispanic vote, like South Texas, a place that used to be overwhelmingly Democratic.

00:13:44.000 Star County, for example, which is 97% Hispanic, most Hispanic county in America on the U.S.-Mexico border.

00:13:50.000 Hillary Clinton won it by 60%, 6-0 back in 2016. 0.87

00:13:54.000 Trump won it by 16 this time.

00:13:57.000 I mean, that's a mammoth move in just three cycles.

00:13:59.000 And his signature issue is immigration.

00:14:02.000 You know, so to your point or your question about, you know, are Hispanics soft on the border?

00:14:06.000 No, they actually believe in, again, a muscular vision of sovereignty.

00:14:11.000 They know that it protects their jobs or street safety.

00:14:14.000 And by the way, down there in Star County, one of the things I heard, I made a documentary down there, I heard time and again, everyone has a friend or relative that works for Customs and Border Patrol down there because it's the most Hispanic agency of the federal government.

00:14:28.000 What do you think then caused that huge swing among Hispanics then?

00:14:31.000 I don't know if you think it was immigration.

00:14:33.000 Is there a particular issue that you think Democrats just absolutely dropped the ball on to reaching out to these voters with?

00:14:39.000 It was cultural radicalism, cultural liberalism from the left.

00:14:43.000 So that was the sort of negative force draining away Hispanic support for the Democrat Party, which traditionally was super strong.

00:14:50.000 And then on the positive side, it was this vision that we will make life better for workers.

00:14:54.000 It was a priority on workers because Hispanic men, for example, highest workforce participation rate of any group in America, something we should be really proud of.

00:15:02.000 The most entrepreneurial demographic in America.

00:15:04.000 We love to start new businesses.

00:15:06.000 And Donald Trump came along and said, I'm going to make working class people the priority.

00:15:10.000 I'm going to prioritize small business.

00:15:12.000 And by the way, he didn't just say it.

00:15:13.000 He delivered in his first term.

00:15:15.000 2019, by any metric, was the greatest year for workers in all of American history.

00:15:20.000 Unfortunately, the COVID panic totally interrupted that progress.

00:15:23.000 But 2019 is when we saw worker pay soar above inflation, meaning real wages accelerated.

00:15:30.000 And the people who benefited the most were Hispanics, blacks, small business owners, all thrived.

00:15:36.000 And so we've built this broad MAGA coalition now that's multiracial, multi-ethnic, and even geographically spread out, right, to the point where Trump was able to win the popular vote based on this vision.

00:15:48.000 So now it's his job and our job to deliver on that promise again in the second term.

00:15:52.000 And now it looks like South Park is targeting the independent media space.

00:15:58.000 It's targeting the coalitions that helped Donald Trump get elected.

00:16:02.000 Fascinating that Charlie Kirk, with his campus outreach, is now a focal point for South Park.

00:16:08.000 I'm curious what you think it means.

00:16:09.000 You know, aside from all the obvious general stuff, we had all these victories.

00:16:14.000 Colbert gets canceled.

00:16:16.000 $30 million an episode gets given to South Park, and they immediately say, okay, we got to go after Charlie Kirk.

00:16:20.000 We got to go after Donald Trump.

00:16:22.000 Sounds to me like the anti-Trump machine that was spending the equivalent of one WNBA per year. 1.00

00:16:28.000 That's what Sam Tripoli calls it.

00:16:30.000 He calls it one WNBA per year to fund Colbert's show.

00:16:34.000 And they said, we're not going to lose that money anymore.

00:16:35.000 It's $40, $50 million.

00:16:38.000 They give $1.5 billion to South Park.

00:16:41.000 So I don't know how much money South Park is making.

00:16:44.000 I can't imagine that it's making, it's making a lot more than Colbert.

00:16:49.000 Let's be real.

00:16:50.000 But to cover the cost of $1.5 billion sounds to me like they said, go after the right and do it in a non-woke way because woke is broken, woke isn't working.

00:17:01.000 It seems like with the Sydney Sweeney ad, you know, they're realizing, okay, if we want to win power back, we got to get rid of this weird hall monitor garbage and try and be edgy again.

00:17:10.000 So they're trying to now make the right once again the butt of the jokes.

00:17:14.000 What do you got?

00:17:15.000 Do you guys agree?

00:17:16.000 I think being featured on South Park is a form of respect, even if they are insulting you.

00:17:21.000 So to even be mentioned, I think, is a form of respect.

00:17:24.000 It's not other influencers or I don't know what we want to call Charlie Kirk political commentators who are getting raffered.

00:17:30.000 Charlie's probably the most prominent conservative in the country right now.

00:17:32.000 Look, you don't get on South Park if you are irrelevant.

00:17:38.000 If you're not actually relevant to the culture, whether you're getting hate or, you know, especially when it's politically charged, you're going to get hate from the left.

00:17:47.000 That comes with the territory.

00:17:49.000 And South Park isn't going to take the time to not only put you on the show, but make Cartman the guy that's playing you in the show, make Cartman one of the most important characters.

00:18:01.000 Generally, Cartman's looked at as the guy with the bad opinions, but even still, he's probably the funniest guy on South Park because he's the guy with the bad opinions.

00:18:11.000 So yeah, whether you consider it a sign of respect or not, it just shows that Charlie's actually really hit a chord with pop culture.

00:18:22.000 Charlie is, in fact, older than South Park.

00:18:25.000 I didn't realize.

00:18:26.000 He's 31.

00:18:27.000 Oh, yeah.

00:18:28.000 I thought he was in his late 20s, bro.

00:18:29.000 But it's a great point, you know, because in politics, I'm a messaging guy, right?

00:18:33.000 A media guy.

00:18:34.000 In politics, to be ignored is death, right?

00:18:37.000 So being attacked can be very powerful.

00:18:39.000 And it's smart of Charlie, by the way, to embrace it, to say, heck yes, yeah, I'm Carbon.

00:18:42.000 I'll make it my profile pick, run toward it, and revel in it.

00:18:46.000 That's why I say this is cultural victory.

00:18:49.000 The fact that for the longest time, they were heavily criticizing independent media or just treating it as irrelevant.

00:18:58.000 They were trying to just act like it was all corporate press.

00:19:03.000 Now they're starting to recognize the real threat to their system is Charlie Kirk.

00:19:08.000 It's independent media.

00:19:09.000 And so the guys here are telling me that we're going to be made fun of by them at some point.

00:19:13.000 I'm like, I don't think so.

00:19:15.000 I don't know that we're that relevant.

00:19:16.000 Fingers crossed.

00:19:18.000 Fingers crossed.

00:19:19.000 Goals, yeah.

00:19:20.000 But I did always wonder about that because, you know, watching Family Guy or South Park or these other shows, they don't really talk about Rogan, right?

00:19:29.000 Clearly one of the most influential guys, if not one of the most influential in politics, whether that's intention or not.

00:19:36.000 They don't make it the butt of their jokes.

00:19:38.000 They still talk about late night TV.

00:19:39.000 It's funny when you watch these shows and they'll make fun of Colbert or Kimmel, and it's like those guys get a couple hundred thousand hits.

00:19:45.000 So I'm wondering, we'll see, I guess.

00:19:47.000 Can I say one last thing on this, though?

00:19:49.000 I do have an inkling that we are being trolled.

00:19:53.000 Matt Stone and Trey Parker have a reputation for like making episodes like a week out or six days out from being able to air.

00:20:01.000 And they also said at Comic-Con that like the last promo that they made was just a bunch of random fake cutscenes that they spliced together because they didn't have enough time to create the actual episode.

00:20:10.000 So like in the past, they've always waited for like the deadlines to do this.

00:20:14.000 And it did look just like a random bunch of BS cutscenes thrown together.

00:20:18.000 At the same time, I don't know who's writing whose coattails because they definitely knew that this would go viral on the political right.

00:20:22.000 So we'll see if the episode ever comes out.

00:20:24.000 I just wanted to add that in there in case we are getting trolls.

00:20:26.000 So here's what I want to mention.

00:20:28.000 Did you guys know that there's never been a single episode of South Park targeting Joe Biden or Kamala Harris?

00:20:34.000 I was literally irrelevant.

00:20:36.000 Joe Biden was vice president for eight years and he was president for four.

00:20:42.000 And South Park did not ever mock Biden or Harris.

00:20:46.000 And according to social media reports, I asked ChatGPT, it says the creators opted not to target Harris in the 2024 cycle.

00:20:55.000 Wow.

00:20:56.000 Funny.

00:20:56.000 How about that?

00:20:57.000 Well, and in both cases, I mean, so much to make fun of, right?

00:21:00.000 I mean, so much material there.

00:21:02.000 I mean, in terms of Biden, his stumbling around, right?

00:21:04.000 The clear cognitive issues.

00:21:06.000 And it's not like, oh, they were trying to be, they thought that was mean, right?

00:21:08.000 They have no problem being mean.

00:21:10.000 And with Kamala, her word salads, right?

00:21:12.000 All the rumors about her drinking.

00:21:14.000 I mean, there's so many things that he could do, that they could do, right?

00:21:16.000 To dive in and be really funny in castigating these two.

00:21:21.000 And the fact that they chose not to is pretty telling, right?

00:21:23.000 But their detriment.

00:21:24.000 Like, what's worse as a politician to be hated or unknown and to be unknown as you mentioned earlier?

00:21:30.000 That's why I'm saying it's funny because, you know, everybody's favorite Sam Cedar and all these liberals are like Tim Poole having a meltdown over South Park.

00:21:37.000 I was like, I actually praise that.

00:21:38.000 I said they were funny.

00:21:39.000 I just said that the jokes were, the jokes they chose to go with were like C-minus jokes.

00:21:44.000 They do this episode about, I'll give them this.

00:21:47.000 You know, South Park does an episode mocking Trump, and what's the joke? 0.99

00:21:52.000 He's gay. 1.00

00:21:54.000 And he's with Satan. 1.00

00:21:57.000 And I'm like, I'm pretty sure every conservative is going to agree with that message about being gay as being devil worship or satanic and to be mocked. 0.99

00:22:06.000 Like the idea that the way they make fun of Trump is to make him gay. 0.99

00:22:09.000 Right. 0.95

00:22:10.000 It's like, yeah, okay.

00:22:12.000 Okay. 0.96

00:22:12.000 Being gay is something to make fun of, I guess. 0.96

00:22:15.000 South Park, if that's like they attack the trans people, now they're making fun of Trump saying, ha ha, look, he's gay. 0.98

00:22:21.000 And it's like, okay. 0.98

00:22:24.000 All right.

00:22:25.000 Like, this is where.

00:22:26.000 Think about this for a second.

00:22:27.000 Our culture, the culture war has shifted so dramatically that if it is true that Paramount is trying to be anti-Trump in a non-edgy way, they, they, like, the Sydney Sweeney ads, hilarious. 0.50

00:22:40.000 They're basically like, let's just get like a white blonde chick with big boobs and we're going to sell a bunch of, a bunch of merch, a bunch of clothes. 1.00

00:22:46.000 It sounds like Paramount was like, okay, hall monitor, anti-racist, none of it worked. 0.79

00:22:51.000 What do we do?

00:22:52.000 And they're like, you've got to be offensive and edgy. 0.98

00:22:55.000 So they've decided the strategy is going to be to make fun of people for being gay, to make fun of trans people. 0.54

00:23:02.000 That's why I'm saying it feels like maybe we have not won the culture war, but we're certainly winning when their attitude is we have to make fun of Trump.

00:23:11.000 How do we do it?

00:23:11.000 Well, we can't call him racist or white supremacist because people don't respond to that.

00:23:15.000 Make fun of them for being gay. 1.00

00:23:16.000 People don't like that. 0.99

00:23:18.000 Right.

00:23:18.000 All right.

00:23:19.000 Okay.

00:23:20.000 Nature is healing.

00:23:21.000 I mean, particularly the Sydney Sweeney ad, right?

00:23:24.000 I mean, that tells us like nature is healing.

00:23:25.000 Okay, we're going back to what we know works, what has worked for time immemorial, right?

00:23:29.000 Like men love beautiful young women, especially if they're doing something funny, right? 0.96

00:23:33.000 I mean, you know, nature is healing.

00:23:35.000 It's happening.

00:23:36.000 I'm loving the meltdown, too.

00:23:37.000 Let's jump to the story from time because it gets better.

00:23:40.000 Stephen Colbert is practically daring CBS to shut him down early.

00:23:46.000 Yeah, you can say that.

00:23:47.000 Here's the way I'm going to describe it.

00:23:49.000 Stephen Colbert is having what can only be described as one of the most epic temper tantrums ever seen in American public life.

00:24:00.000 I mean, dude, you got canceled.

00:24:02.000 And Time magazine says that he's basically just going nuts on every single episode, going so heavy against his network that he's daring them to shut him down.

00:24:11.000 And I'm like, no, he's having a mental breakdown.

00:24:14.000 Like, imagine dedicating 10 years of your life to being on the wrong side of every single issue.

00:24:22.000 And then finally, the network comes to you and says, you are fired.

00:24:25.000 And not only that, think about it.

00:24:28.000 Colbert goes to his agent and says, what can I do after this?

00:24:30.000 And they're like, nothing.

00:24:32.000 Your whole career for 10 years is Trump is bad.

00:24:36.000 That doesn't sell anymore.

00:24:38.000 You are not a brand we can hire.

00:24:40.000 And so he's having a mental breakdown.

00:24:43.000 Do you blame him?

00:24:45.000 I mean, look, what was it?

00:24:47.000 The protest about him drew like 20 people, I think, something like that.

00:24:53.000 I forget what the name of the protest or whatever was.

00:24:55.000 It drew like 20 people.

00:24:57.000 He doesn't have the audience.

00:24:58.000 And there are two things going on with the Colbert situation.

00:25:02.000 First of all, he doesn't have the finger on the pulse of what is relevant anymore.

00:25:08.000 Just going after Trump doesn't sell, clearly.

00:25:11.000 But also, he's done this in a climate where people don't watch television anymore.

00:25:19.000 They don't watch late night shows.

00:25:22.000 All the late night shows are down.

00:25:23.000 And granted, it's down because of the content, but it's also down because Netflix is a thing.

00:25:28.000 And Paramount has their own channel.

00:25:31.000 And Disney has their own channel.

00:25:32.000 And YouTube, and all of these other options that people have.

00:25:36.000 If they don't like exactly what you're producing, they're going to go somewhere else.

00:25:40.000 And so in this climate to try and alienate half the population, it's a recipe for disaster.

00:25:47.000 And I think Colbert's just the first one.

00:25:49.000 I think more are going to fall.

00:25:50.000 Yeah.

00:25:50.000 You know, if you look in totality, for the first time now, streaming has surpassed linear television, right?

00:25:54.000 Both broadcast and cable put together.

00:25:56.000 It's been trending that way for a long time, but those lines have crossed, right?

00:25:59.000 So to your point That he was fighting uphill anyway.

00:26:01.000 But when you fight uphill and you're just a scold and you're not funny at all, and you don't even try to be funny in a show that's supposed to be about levity and it's supposed to be sort of a break, let's have a laugh before you go to bed.

00:26:11.000 I mean, that's traditionally what late night TV was, and it was really unifying in America at one point, right?

00:26:16.000 Sort of the legends of late night, like Johnny Carson, they made fun of politicians occasionally, but they were very bipartisan, right, in their barbs.

00:26:23.000 And it was great for America, and Americans loved it.

00:26:26.000 Now, instead, you know, we get this scold who is lecturing America, and Kimmel's the same, right?

00:26:32.000 I mean, unfortunately, you know, that late night mold has become a bunch of lefty nags, and nobody likes it, and nobody wants to hear that, especially before bedtime. 0.99

00:26:40.000 So thankfully, it's not working.

00:26:42.000 200,000 people in the key demo like it.

00:26:44.000 Yeah, well, that's nothing.

00:26:46.000 3 million boomers.

00:26:49.000 Right.

00:26:49.000 That's the crazy thing.

00:26:50.000 The one age demographic from the Real Clear Politics aggregate that was anti-Trump, they went, it was 20 to 29.

00:26:58.000 It's, you know, 30 to 39.

00:27:00.000 The only decade, the, you know, age bracket was 70 plus that was anti-Trump.

00:27:06.000 Everybody else was pro-Trump.

00:27:09.000 And they're watching Colbert.

00:27:11.000 Yeah.

00:27:12.000 And that's all they get.

00:27:13.000 It's remarkable.

00:27:13.000 I can't imagine what must be going through the mind of your 75-year-old watching Colbert who's thinking, wow, look how bad Trump is.

00:27:22.000 How could anyone like him?

00:27:24.000 And then Trump wins the popular vote.

00:27:25.000 Right.

00:27:26.000 Weird reality.

00:27:27.000 It's kind of sad because I don't know if I'm the only one here, but I used to like his show like a decade ago, the Colbert Report, before he did the late night show.

00:27:36.000 It was normal.

00:27:36.000 I don't know if I'm a sucker here because it was kind of just like a parody of Bill O'Reilly.

00:27:39.000 I don't know what they were.

00:27:40.000 I think that was the angle there, but I thought that was like really rich and funny.

00:27:43.000 And like, I don't know.

00:27:44.000 I was very young at the time too, but just to see this complete transformation, to see him be, I don't know, unrecognizable.

00:27:51.000 He's a total actor, though, and you don't really know what you're getting with this guy.

00:27:54.000 Like, I don't know who the real Stephen Colbert actually is.

00:27:57.000 When we do see him behind the scenes, we see him dancing with Chuck Schumer.

00:28:00.000 So I'm just led to believe that he is a Democrat.

00:28:03.000 He's also a practicing Roman Catholic, and I think he spoke about significance of that.

00:28:09.000 That's why his work.

00:28:10.000 So pro-choice.

00:28:11.000 I feel like it's so interesting to see the ways that Catholicism manifests in our politics because when I hear about Catholics mostly, you think of like the J.D. Vance types who not too long ago converted.

00:28:22.000 But I feel like the average Catholic in our country is probably closer to Stephen Colbert, frankly, for all I know.

00:28:28.000 To be fair, I don't know.

00:28:29.000 Let me back on that because I know these numbers are cold.

00:28:32.000 As a matter of fact, I just gave a speech on this topic last week in my work for Catholic Votes.

00:28:36.000 So Trump carried Catholics by 12% nationally this time, and he tied among Catholics against Joe Biden.

00:28:42.000 So one of the key reasons he did not win that he was not already president in 2020 is because he tied.

00:28:47.000 Now, Joe Biden, of course, presented himself as a Catholic president, as a Catholic candidate.

00:28:50.000 I think it's a bunch of baloney, right?

00:28:52.000 But nevertheless, it worked with a lot of Catholics.

00:28:55.000 Trump won Catholics by plus eight in 2016, tied in 2020, plus 12 this time.

00:29:01.000 So the reason that he won the national popular vote is Catholics coming his way. 0.99

00:29:05.000 Catholics are sort of the swingiest vote and also just a giant cohort.

00:29:08.000 There's over 50 million Catholics in America.

00:29:10.000 So I would say Catholics have moved way more toward Trump than they are toward Colbert.

00:29:15.000 But here's what's pretty much.

00:29:16.000 Can you be pro-choice and be Catholic?

00:29:18.000 No, not legitimately.

00:29:20.000 So the point that he's making when he says Catholics are closer to Colbert, they're not Catholics.

00:29:23.000 People who identify themselves as Catholic.

00:29:25.000 I think we get into like murky territory where we're judging.

00:29:29.000 I'm not one to judge if somebody is authentic.

00:29:31.000 And you were careful with your language there, speaking about Joe Biden's religion.

00:29:34.000 You said like, what was it?

00:29:36.000 Not pretending, but not identifying.

00:29:39.000 Presented.

00:29:39.000 That was the word you used.

00:29:40.000 Presented as Catholic.

00:29:41.000 Do you not believe that, I don't know, that he is truly?

00:29:43.000 Because, I mean, I'm even looking at Stephen Colbert when he had the cross for Ash Tuesday.

00:29:48.000 Ash Wednesday.

00:29:49.000 Ash Wednesday.

00:29:50.000 It is.

00:29:50.000 So like, I feel like the average person who believes themselves to be Catholic in this country is pro-choice.

00:29:56.000 Okay, yes.

00:29:57.000 This is an important distinction.

00:29:58.000 So by the way, those numbers I just gave you are people who identify as Catholic.

00:30:01.000 And again, that's from the Pew Validated Voter Survey.

00:30:03.000 So that's people who identify as Catholic.

00:30:04.000 Trump was plus 12, right?

00:30:06.000 That is not any reflection on whether or not they practice what they actually believe, right?

00:30:09.000 That's not judging their Catholicism.

00:30:11.000 It's just saying, do you identify as Catholic?

00:30:12.000 That's it.

00:30:13.000 Trump won plus 12, won overwhelmingly.

00:30:16.000 If you then break it down to practicing Catholics and say, okay, do you go to church at least twice a month or do you believe in certain issues?

00:30:21.000 Well, then Trump's percentages shoot into, I mean, he's literally in the 80s or even 90s.

00:30:25.000 You know, then they poll and vote a lot more like evangelicals do, you know, frankly.

00:30:30.000 So when you, yes, there's a big difference between sort of cultural Catholics who identify as Catholic, but don't necessarily practice the faith and then actual practicing Catholics.

00:30:37.000 And they obviously vote very differently.

00:30:39.000 But the point is when we group them all together, they have massively moved toward Trump, toward America first.

00:30:46.000 And by the way, also on immigration, because the Catholic bishops have been very, very anti-Trump, very pro-illegal migrant.

00:30:53.000 The Catholics in the pews simply don't believe that.

00:30:55.000 I mean, again, just the election last November, but also all the polling shows that.

00:30:59.000 So it's a significant issue and it's a fascinating issue. 0.52

00:31:01.000 But when people like Colbert and Joe Biden try to wear their Catholicism on their sleeve, I think believing Catholics recognize immediately that that's just, it's complete hypocrisy.

00:31:13.000 It's not genuine.

00:31:14.000 It's not accurate.

00:31:15.000 And they're trying to do it for either political or media benefits, not from their heart.

00:31:20.000 If I could have one follow-up on the Catholicism issue, because I do think this is really important, how it manifests in our country.

00:31:26.000 And as I understand it, because again, I'm Jewish, so I'm a thousand miles away from this.

00:31:30.000 There seems to be a disconnect between global Catholicism and the Catholic Church and like those at the top compared to those in America.

00:31:38.000 I don't know, is there a unique brand do you feel as though there's a unique brand of American Catholicism or does it manifest differently than the ways it manifests in South America or even, I don't know, out in Italy at the Vatican and how the Pope speaks about these issues?

00:31:51.000 Because writ large, as I understand, very pro-immigrant sentiment.

00:31:56.000 And, you know, and that's different as I understand American Catholics' believings that manifests. 0.61

00:32:01.000 So I don't know.

00:32:02.000 Does that make sense there?

00:32:03.000 And observing a real phenomenon.

00:32:05.000 No, it's an excellent.

00:32:05.000 Look, when you're talking about a faith with over a billion adherents that's truly global, of course, there's a massive amount of diversity and complexity, and a lot of it's geographic.

00:32:14.000 The American, practicing American Catholics politically are definitely to the right of most of the hierarchy in Rome.

00:32:22.000 I mean, that's just a fair objective statement to observe.

00:32:26.000 But it's also fascinating that we now have an American Pope for the first time ever, which I think Most American Catholics, most Americans, period, thought was an impossibility, thought could never happen.

00:32:34.000 And he doesn't exactly seem to be right-wing, or I wouldn't call him conservative, but compared to Francis, massively so, right?

00:32:41.000 And certainly not anti-American in any sense.

00:32:44.000 You know, somebody who came from Chicago, who came from the United States and loves this country.

00:32:47.000 So it's an interesting moment.

00:32:49.000 And when you have an American Pope and you have at least the potential for J.D. Vance, our deeply Catholic vice president, to become the president of the United States, perhaps, coming up, it's interesting.

00:33:00.000 There's an American Catholic moment that's pretty historic.

00:33:03.000 Catholics have come a long way in our country.

00:33:05.000 Maybe because, I don't know, the history of Catholics here, they used to be persecuted here, so obviously came a long way.

00:33:10.000 Sorry for you with us.

00:33:11.000 We were pivoted hard there.

00:33:12.000 Yep. 0.99

00:33:13.000 Anyway, Stephen Colbert, wow, he's crazy. 1.00

00:33:17.000 Crazy Catholic. 1.00

00:33:18.000 Well, I mean, he's. 0.98

00:33:20.000 Definitely not.

00:33:29.000 Look, if you're going to say you're a Catholic, but you don't do the things that Catholics do, then you're not a Catholic.

00:33:37.000 People should be judged by their works, not by their words.

00:33:40.000 It's very easy to give lip service to whatever it is, you know, to a religion or what have you or to an ideology, but what people do is what they really believe.

00:33:50.000 And if you are voting for people because you think that it's important for abortion to be legal, that is not a Catholic. 0.77

00:33:59.000 And I'm not even a Catholic, but it's pretty easy to tell.

00:34:02.000 Let's jump to this next story, my friends.

00:34:04.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to start off by saying this.

00:34:06.000 Israel, as far as it goes with PR in the United States, is cooked.

00:34:11.000 Seth Meyers gets serious in call for USA to Gaza if even Trump acknowledge their starvation.

00:34:17.000 It's long past time to act.

00:34:19.000 We are appalled by the unspeakable horrors currently unfolding in Gaza.

00:34:25.000 This coming from late night with Seth Meyers.

00:34:28.000 And I don't care what you think about the whole issue.

00:34:31.000 What's fascinating to me is that corporate liberal media activism is anti-Israel.

00:34:37.000 Donald Trump is critical of Israel right now on social media.

00:34:41.000 There's a massive spattering of anti-Israel commentary on the rise.

00:34:46.000 And I've been saying this for some time now, but with this, this to me is the nail in the coffin for pro-Israel sentiment in the United States.

00:34:52.000 I don't see how you recover from corporate left, woke left, and dissident right all being critical of Israel and the minority faction trying to be pro-Israel.

00:35:02.000 I mean, look, the whole like, even if Trump acknowledged their salvation, it kind of fits the leftist narrative about Trump.

00:35:08.000 If he's actually Hitler, siding with Gaza makes more sense than siding with Israel, doesn't it? 0.81

00:35:15.000 The left siding with Trump is strange.

00:35:17.000 No, I mean, this is the point.

00:35:19.000 If Trump does it, it's wrong.

00:35:21.000 This time, Trump is not wrong.

00:35:23.000 Seth Meyers is agreeing with Donald Trump on the issue of Israel.

00:35:27.000 When that happens, and what we're seeing with Gen Z, plus, didn't Charlie Kirk do like some sit-down with Gen Z guys about Jews? 0.59

00:35:34.000 And it's, I think the narrative is there.

00:35:38.000 Yeah.

00:35:39.000 This country is, we looked at the Pew Research data.

00:35:44.000 The key demo is anti-Israel, left and right.

00:35:48.000 And now Trump is actually seeing Seth Meyers agree with him.

00:35:52.000 Yeah.

00:35:52.000 I think where Trump is right now, which I totally understand, is he is seriously pro-Israel, but he's also very frustrated with Netanyahu, which I think is totally understandable and justifiable at this point, right?

00:36:04.000 That Netanyahu has been, you know, at best, a difficult ally lately.

00:36:08.000 And I think that's why Trump is where he is.

00:36:10.000 Now, what you're talking about, though, Tim, with Gen Z is, you know, they're not where Trump is.

00:36:16.000 They're actively anti-Israel.

00:36:17.000 It's an entirely different point of view and worldview.

00:36:21.000 And I do think, look, if I were Israel, I'd be concerned about this because the United States is obviously its most key ally.

00:36:27.000 And when you look at young Americans, they are very disaffected with Israel right now.

00:36:30.000 And I think people like Netanyahu need to ask themselves why and how can they try to change that because they're not only trying to please their own people, but also the United States.

00:36:38.000 Yeah, I mean, look, Israel has done really poorly when it comes to the narrative, you know, the online narrative kind of whatever you want to call it, about the Gaza war or the situation in Gaza.

00:36:52.000 I particularly, or I personally don't put a lot of credibility in things that are coming out of Gaza because I don't trust Hamas.

00:37:00.000 And Hamas is still the authority in Gaza.

00:37:04.000 But Israel is definitely, you know, flattened cities in Gaza.

00:37:10.000 So if you're going to initiate a war like that, you have to be prepared to produce propaganda that supports your position.

00:37:18.000 And Israel has not done that.

00:37:20.000 They've really dropped the ball on that.

00:37:22.000 What do you got to say there, Elad?

00:37:24.000 Come on.

00:37:25.000 I know what you're thinking.

00:37:26.000 I think despite media narratives and media spins and fake news coming out of Hamas that the Israelis should not be dissuaded from finishing the job in Gaza. 0.93

00:37:40.000 They'll just have to do it without our money. 1.00

00:37:42.000 With or without our money, I think.

00:37:45.000 Agreed.

00:37:46.000 And Russia needs to finish the job. 0.92

00:37:48.000 And they'll have to do it without our money. 0.50

00:37:49.000 That's the point.

00:37:50.000 Well, right now they're doing it with our support.

00:37:52.000 And I'm saying my point is it's gone.

00:37:57.000 I don't see how this sustains itself when Pew Research puts out this data showing 53% of people in the United States have a negative view of Israel.

00:38:05.000 And it is so, I don't know what the right is, it is so extreme that Seth Myers has said Trump is right.

00:38:12.000 Like when you get liberal late night talk shows being like, wait, Trump's actually right about this.

00:38:16.000 It's like, wow. 0.99

00:38:18.000 Holy crap. 0.76

00:38:19.000 So like if the difference is, you know, good media coverage and your state constantly being at risk and bad media coverage and security for your state, I think Israelis should pick the latter. 0.99

00:38:31.000 It seems as if they're not.

00:38:32.000 Agreed and then we stop paying for it.

00:38:33.000 Because when the American people, when the sentiment continues to spoil, is the point, right?

00:38:38.000 When the sentiment continually goes negative, members of Congress are going to be like, I'm not going to be on their side.

00:38:44.000 I'm going to get blasted in my meetings.

00:38:46.000 So I'll just come out against them.

00:38:47.000 Then when it comes for the vote, look at AOC.

00:38:49.000 She voted to provide defensive funding for Israel and they attacked her for it.

00:38:53.000 So we are getting very, very close in the next few years to U.S. Congress being like, we are no longer going to risk Our seats in Congress for supporting a foreign country.

00:39:04.000 I may submit to you that may be true.

00:39:05.000 I think polling on this is fickle.

00:39:07.000 I think we're being manipulated by false images that, for example, the New York Times, New York Times even came out today and described some of their images as being incorrect or putting them up with misleading information about it.

00:39:21.000 But I think Israel should continue fighting its battles despite that.

00:39:24.000 I think there's been a long history.

00:39:26.000 I hear you, but you're not addressing what we're talking about.

00:39:29.000 No, I am.

00:39:30.000 I said, despite...

00:39:38.000 I think they should do things despite the bad media coverage that they're getting.

00:39:41.000 You're saying that they're losing support in the United States.

00:39:43.000 My point is that it is now the popular mainstream near of the United States that Israel bad. 0.97

00:39:49.000 I don't think that's as true as people in the media will likely believe that.

00:39:53.000 I'm not making this up.

00:39:54.000 Pew research.

00:39:54.000 53% negative view of Israel and getting worse to the point where Seth Myers is agreeing with Donald Trump.

00:40:00.000 You then changing the subject to Israel should continue its war. 0.76

00:40:02.000 It has nothing to do with the content.

00:40:03.000 No, so despite it becoming increasingly partisan of an issue, I think the Israelis should continue to finish their work in Gaza.

00:40:12.000 In which case, if your argument is that they're putting up fake images or whatever it may be, that means just Israel's losing.

00:40:19.000 I just don't think that the Israeli government should be swayed by bad media coverage.

00:40:23.000 Let me ask you this, because I fully agree that Israel should do whatever it thinks it needs to do in its national security and its defense of its citizens, right?

00:40:29.000 Absolutely.

00:40:30.000 But the state of Israel has now existed, the modern state of Israel, for 80 years.

00:40:34.000 Should it continue to receive benefits and aid from the United States when the average Israeli lives better than the average American right now? 0.61

00:40:40.000 This is a sophisticated, wealthy country.

00:40:42.000 Aren't they capable now of standing on their own two feet and handling their own security without American charity, essentially?

00:40:48.000 So I'll answer that in a very honest way.

00:40:51.000 So for the past 40 some odd years, we have been significantly supporting the state of Israel, but it's existed the 40 years prior to that without our support, actually, from originally support from the USSR.

00:41:02.000 And I will say, I will push back against the Israelis are living better than us Americans. 1.00

00:41:07.000 Socialized, we don't have socialized health care in America because socialized health care is actually bad for people.

00:41:12.000 People don't get good coverage through their socialized medicine.

00:41:14.000 People in Israel, I know we like to say that we don't want, wait, if I can finish, that we don't want Americans dying in Israel.

00:41:21.000 I know you didn't say that, but that's a common sentiment.

00:41:22.000 I feel like it's so ironic given it's one of our only allies that actually has a military draft and actually routinely fights their own battle.

00:41:30.000 People in the military, the Navy, in the Army, in the United States actually respect that of Israelis, that they actually do fight their own wars.

00:41:37.000 So we give benefits to a lot of different countries, and I think people tend to single out Israel for one reason or another.

00:41:43.000 We currently have 30 some odd Americans sitting as cannon fodder right now in South Korea.

00:41:48.000 Their sole purpose is there to be cannon fodder.

00:41:51.000 The same thing in Germany.

00:41:53.000 I don't know why should we go down those countries.

00:41:54.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:41:55.000 No, I mean, well, I'd just respond to that by saying I think Americans benefit immensely from both soft and hard power.

00:42:01.000 We are the global shock callers, and it's to the benefit of Americans.

00:42:05.000 And I feel like that really embodies the American spirit, too.

00:42:08.000 I think American hegemony is good.

00:42:10.000 And if American hegemony retracts, it's going to be other communist Chinese influences or Russian influences or Islamist influences that fills the gap is my wider perspective.

00:42:21.000 I think over the past couple of years, there's been a narrative battle happening in the United States on the issue largely of Israel.

00:42:28.000 And Israel's been losing and losing.

00:42:32.000 It's been getting beaten mercilessly in this narrative machine.

00:42:37.000 And that's it.

00:42:40.000 I predicted, what, 10 years, especially with Gen Z's view of Israel, there's not going to be any more foreign spending for this country.

00:42:48.000 I think there's such a contradiction between the far left that hates Israel and the far right that also dislikes Israel, because they hate Israel for so many different reasons.

00:42:59.000 The far left in our country largely hates Israel, as I understand, because they view Israel and Israelis and Jews as white people, and they view the Palestinians as brown, and they project their racial biases onto the Israeli conflict as such.

00:43:13.000 And that's really all they see.

00:43:14.000 There's also like this socialist tinge of the far left socialists believing that Jews are landlords and inherently privileged, and then being against Jews writ large for that purpose.

00:43:23.000 And then on the far right, they hate Jews for, or hate the state of Israel for totally different reasons.

00:43:28.000 They're not projecting any racial, you know, what about Seth Meyers?

00:43:33.000 I don't know why Seth Meyers is.

00:43:35.000 I don't even know what he actually said on the issue.

00:43:38.000 The narrative is that Israel is starving Gazans.

00:43:41.000 Well, and so they need humanitarian aid because Israel's cut off their access to food.

00:43:44.000 Look, I think that Islamists are really good at manipulating impressionable Westerners. 1.00

00:43:49.000 I think Hamas knows exactly what they're doing.

00:43:51.000 And Israel's really bad at countering it? 0.93

00:43:54.000 No, I think that Hamas is willing to use dead children for their political gain.

00:43:58.000 They actually want more dead children to occur.

00:44:01.000 They want to hide behind these people so when they inevitably do get attacked, that they could parade these dead bodies around.

00:44:07.000 I think it's actually disgusting, and it might set the stage for future enemies of our country trying to use these tactics. 0.93

00:44:13.000 It's disgusting.

00:44:14.000 But my point is that Israel seemingly is incapable of defending itself from these psyops. 0.92

00:44:20.000 I mean, if Israel is losing this war right now, then I don't know what, you know, whenever.

00:44:24.000 Again, we're talking about media optics in the United States, and we're talking about the president of the United States agreeing we need food banks set up in Gaza because of what Israel is doing.

00:44:31.000 He says he's fed up with Netanyahu.

00:44:33.000 Seth Meyers agrees with him.

00:44:34.000 The point is they've lost the, you're calling it a fake campaign and propping up dead bodies.

00:44:41.000 So if it's a SIOP, they've been defeated.

00:44:44.000 I think that Islamists are effectively manipulating impressionable Westerners. 0.99

00:44:48.000 Yeah, and it's a big issue.

00:44:50.000 You think it's just Islamists?

00:44:52.000 I think those are the people in the Middle East who are manipulating those sentiments. 0.98

00:44:55.000 Yeah.

00:44:55.000 Very cynically.

00:44:56.000 And I think Western liberals are very easily manipulated, frankly.

00:45:00.000 Yeah, I do think you have a point about Hamas. 1.00

00:45:03.000 Like, Hamas is not where you should be getting your information about the war in Western. 0.98

00:45:08.000 Well, these are just poor brown people that white people are abusing. 0.99

00:45:10.000 And then they, you know, they self-loathing. 1.00

00:45:14.000 Hold on, hold on.

00:45:14.000 That's broadly a leftist perspective.

00:45:16.000 That's not so much about the Islamists or Hamas.

00:45:20.000 Hamas globs onto that narrative because it's effective in the West. 0.99

00:45:25.000 But if there was another, if they were talking to people that aren't in the West, they just call like, they just call The Jews, demons.

00:45:31.000 You know, like if you're talking to people in Kazakhstan or whatever, because there's a lot of, you know, there's a lot of places where Israel and Jewish people are looked at as the bad guy. 0.74

00:45:41.000 I mean, you look at the joke in Borat, throw the Jew down the well that you see in the song. 1.00

00:45:47.000 Like that's something that's all over the world.

00:45:50.000 And the way that they use the narrative in the U.S. is one thing, but to them, it's not about any kind of political or that kind of dynamic at all.

00:45:59.000 I want to jump to this.

00:46:00.000 We have breaking news, ladies and gentlemen.

00:46:02.000 When the show first launched, we mentioned there's an 8.0 earthquake near Russia and that there was a tsunami, not a warning at the time, but what do they have it listed as?

00:46:14.000 I forgot what the issue was.

00:46:16.000 It wasn't a warning.

00:46:17.000 But now we've got a tsunami watch for Alaska, and they've upgraded the earthquake to an 8.7.

00:46:24.000 It's big.

00:46:24.000 So my understanding is an 8.7 is exponentially larger than 8.0.

00:46:31.000 Fox Weather says parts of Alaska are under tsunami warnings while the entire U.S. West Coast and the state of Hawaii are under tsunami watches after a monster 8.7 earthquake struck off the east coast of Russia.

00:46:46.000 We've got this tweet here from Space Weather News.

00:46:48.000 You know him, you love him, Ben Davidson.

00:46:50.000 Says after a magnitude 8 earthquake near Kamchatka a few minutes ago, the entire North Pacific is vibrating.

00:46:57.000 Yo, this is crazy.

00:46:59.000 And then, of course, this breaking news came in just about 20 minutes ago.

00:47:02.000 USGS has upgraded it to an 8.7.

00:47:05.000 Grok says the magnitude scale is logarithmic.

00:47:08.000 An 8.7 earthquake releases 11 times more energy than an 8, with ground motion roughly 5 times stronger, making it significantly more destructive, especially for tsunamis and damage in populated areas.

00:47:22.000 So this is absolutely insane.

00:47:24.000 And I hope everybody's paying attention because, again, it was like an alert earlier for Hawaii, and now it's a watch.

00:47:32.000 And for Alaska, it's a warning.

00:47:34.000 So that sounds like they're saying we're seeing it coming.

00:47:37.000 Yeah.

00:47:37.000 Well, I mean, when it comes to Hawaii, I think it's something like six hours to get from where the epicenter of the earthquake was until Hawaii.

00:47:46.000 So we won't know if there's significant repercussions in Hawaii, but it will be obviously significantly shorter in Alaska.

00:47:54.000 Yeah.

00:47:56.000 So, yeah, it was an advisory at first, but it's an upgraded to a warning.

00:47:59.000 So I hope everybody, if you're in the Aleutians, if you're in the area, please pay attention.

00:48:04.000 Yeah, and if I understand correctly, and the chat will correct me if I'm wrong, I'm sure, but if I understand correctly, watches are when it's possible.

00:48:12.000 Warning is when they've seen an actual tsunami.

00:48:15.000 So there is one going to the Aleutians now.

00:48:18.000 Let's play this clip.

00:48:19.000 Let's see if you've been with us.

00:48:21.000 So an earthquake, if you've been with us, so I was trying to explain this.

00:48:25.000 This animation tells you a whole lot more, but how the plates move, how the seafloor moves, that's going to dictate how much displacement of water there is, how much water is moved, and how big of a tsunami could be generated.

00:48:40.000 We've seen at times, I was trying to think back to when that was.

00:48:43.000 I think it was in the Western Caribbean or Southern Gulf.

00:48:48.000 We had a fairly high magnitude earthquake.

00:48:51.000 It didn't produce a tsunami because it was a strike slip.

00:48:55.000 It was rock sliding horizontally.

00:48:58.000 Across the victory.

00:48:59.000 And there's no vertical displacement of water in that setting.

00:49:02.000 So I was wondering, was this scenario like that?

00:49:05.000 It appears not.

00:49:06.000 This would be more of a normal earthquake fault where some of the rock itself shifted up, some of it shifted down in that fault.

00:49:16.000 There's the displacement of water, and that wave propagates out from where the earthquake started.

00:49:22.000 So yeah, that was, I believe this way closer to land.

00:49:25.000 That video was from the Alaska earthquake, not from the current earthquake.

00:49:29.000 But yeah, I don't know.

00:49:31.000 You know, it's not a cultural political news event that we normally jump into, but I thought it was important considering this is 8.7 ain't no joke.

00:49:41.000 Yeah, it's a big, big earthquake.

00:49:44.000 When I was in Japan in 2011 for the Fukushima or the earthquake that hit Fukushima, that was a 9.0.

00:49:52.000 And I mean, 20,000 people died in Sendai alone.

00:49:56.000 Wow.

00:49:56.000 So it was massive.

00:49:58.000 You were in Japan when that went down?

00:49:59.000 I was in Japan in March 2011 when that happened.

00:50:02.000 It was crazy.

00:50:02.000 Was it scary where you were?

00:50:04.000 I was in Tokyo.

00:50:05.000 So where we were, it was about a 5.5.

00:50:08.000 But it shook the whole building.

00:50:10.000 And I mean, we were probably on the sixth or seventh floor doing sound check before the show.

00:50:18.000 My tour manager sticks his head in, and I'm like, oh, you know, this is crazy.

00:50:22.000 But like, we're in Japan.

00:50:24.000 It's the ring of fire.

00:50:25.000 They build the buildings, you know, to withstand this kind of stuff.

00:50:29.000 I was like, if there's a problem, one of the Japanese guys will come and they'll let us know. 1.00

00:50:33.000 And just as I was saying that, a Japanese guy came around the corner.

00:50:35.000 He was like, we got to get out of here.

00:50:37.000 And so we all start hauling out and everybody basically filtered out into the, you know, into the street.

00:50:42.000 And we're all kind of standing around for, I don't know, a couple hours.

00:50:47.000 We had just maybe an hour or so before, hour and a half, something like that, gotten off the bullet train.

00:50:54.000 And we heard that the bullet train derailed and a lot of people on that particular train died and stuff.

00:51:00.000 So we really, really...

00:51:04.000 This earthquake may be the eighth or ninth largest earthquake in recorded history.

00:51:09.000 Wow.

00:51:10.000 So the 10th biggest is an 8.6 in 2012, part of a lesser-known cluster of large Sumatra events.

00:51:18.000 Number nine is Assam, Tibet, massive Himalayan region quake.

00:51:22.000 It was an 8.6 or 8.7.

00:51:25.000 And 8, Rat Island in the Aleutians in 1965 was an 8.7.

00:51:30.000 So this ties for 8th, 8th biggest earthquake in recorded history.

00:51:36.000 That's crazy.

00:51:37.000 Yeah, it's no joke that an 8.7 is really, really huge.

00:51:41.000 Wow.

00:51:43.000 Hope everybody in Hawaii gets somewhere safe and follows all local news direction.

00:51:50.000 I hope they are able to get the message despite NPR's defunding.

00:51:55.000 Yeah.

00:51:57.000 Well, let's jump to the next story here.

00:51:59.000 We've got this from the post-millennial.

00:52:02.000 Shane Samurai went up the wrong elevator bank in an attempt to target NFL offices in mass shooting.

00:52:08.000 Now, the official narrative has not been determined as to why this man, I believe he's half black, half Japanese, why he carried out these shootings, though they claim they found a letter in his pocket that said he was upset with the NFL.

00:52:22.000 Additionally, there have been some activists that pointed out the address in question he went to, the Blackstone building, was the target of globalized the Intifada activists over the past several years.

00:52:34.000 He didn't go to the NFL floor.

00:52:36.000 He went to the Blackstone floor, and he shot and killed an executive with Blackstone, as well as injuring an NFL employee.

00:52:43.000 So the conspiracy theory that we're seeing online is, in fact, his motivation was the anti-Israel protests.

00:52:50.000 His motivation was the growing intifada protest movement.

00:52:55.000 It was, I mean, Zoran Mamdani, who has said, globalize the intifada.

00:53:02.000 And I'm going to stress this because everyone gets so partisan on this one.

00:53:04.000 I'm not saying this to be pro or anti.

00:53:06.000 I don't care.

00:53:06.000 The point is, there's a question as to whether or not it makes more sense that this guy was blaming the NFL, who he's never interacted with, or if he was going to Blackstone, targeting Blackstone for financial activist reasons or for Israeli activist reasons.

00:53:23.000 And I'll give you a few examples.

00:53:24.000 The New York Times published this in May, May 6th.

00:53:28.000 Blackstone president donates $125 million to Israeli medical school, the largest in Tel Aviv university history.

00:53:35.000 And one of the individuals who was killed, a Jewish philanthropist, Wesley Lepatner, 43, was named as a victim.

00:53:42.000 Now, it is true that an NFL employee was seriously injured and is critical.

00:53:47.000 Online, there's speculation that the true motivation was the anti-Israel sentiment.

00:53:52.000 I'm curious what you guys think.

00:53:54.000 I'll start off just by saying, I was talking to my wife about it, and she was like, so what do you think happened?

00:54:00.000 And I'm like, I don't know of any large movements against the NFL to take weapons and go to their offices and hurt them.

00:54:06.000 So it's strange that a crazy person would do that.

00:54:10.000 But if they were to come out and say his motivation was Israel criticism or like, you know, Israel genocide or intifada, we'd go, of course, because of the wave of protests.

00:54:22.000 We had the two embassy employees who were killed already.

00:54:24.000 That lines up perfectly with the actions that he took.

00:54:26.000 The NFL one does not.

00:54:28.000 I mean, look, all the information that I've seen was that he was mentally ill, that he had CTE.

00:54:35.000 Those things are the actual reasons that I've seen.

00:54:39.000 So I don't think that this was, you know, obviously anytime someone goes and does a mass shooting, you're questioning their attachment to reality.

00:54:48.000 But this seems pretty clear that it wasn't motivated by any kind of political seven.

00:54:53.000 Why?

00:54:54.000 Pardon me?

00:54:54.000 How is it clear?

00:54:55.000 Because he actually wrote out what he was actually.

00:54:58.000 Yeah, according to the reporting, he blamed the NFL for his CTE because he played football.

00:55:03.000 Now, he also played two years of high school football, okay?

00:55:05.000 So, I mean, that's a ludicrous notion. 0.98

00:55:07.000 But if he's mentally ill, maybe he believes that, right? 0.95

00:55:09.000 Did he believe that there was actually a note in his pocket that said I blame the NFL?

00:55:12.000 Right.

00:55:12.000 We don't know, clearly, right?

00:55:13.000 I'm just saying.

00:55:15.000 Why does he need that cover then, effectively?

00:55:17.000 We believe that he actually killed him.

00:55:18.000 I mean, we said when we saw it on the internet.

00:55:20.000 So I'm leaning towards crazy people do crazy things.

00:55:26.000 However, the online theorists, and I want to stress this too, because they haven't released an official motive.

00:55:32.000 This is not a formalized declaration by law enforcement.

00:55:35.000 Eric Adams just said they found a note in his pocket that says you can't go up against the NFL or whatever.

00:55:41.000 But the theory is this guy was directly targeting Blackstone, a powerful financial organization with investments in tons of corporations that has been routinely called out for jacking up the price of homes.

00:55:55.000 It's one of the largest global holdings of real estate.

00:55:57.000 The offices that this man went to was Blackstone and a real estate holding office.

00:56:02.000 And the woman that he shot was part of their real estate investment group.

00:56:07.000 When you look at all of the pieces to the theory about this being targeting Blackstone, the pieces, there's a lot of, okay, that makes sense. 0.74

00:56:16.000 When you look at NFL, it's like the only explanation is he was crazy.

00:56:20.000 And quite possibly true.

00:56:21.000 Quite possibly true.

00:56:22.000 The argument is that if they were to come out and say this guy was motivated by globalized intifada, one, it's damaging to Zoran Mamdani over that whole fiasco because he refused to denounce it.

00:56:33.000 And there's fears that it would launch copycats because of the massive online sentiment against Israel and Jews right now.

00:56:40.000 We are in the age of vigilante justice because the information writ large, we're in the era of vigilante justice.

00:56:50.000 People feel confident shooting at healthcare CEOs or Pennsylvania governors or Minneapolis politicians or whatnot.

00:56:59.000 And it's kind of a choose your own narrative here.

00:57:01.000 You could make this story whatever you want it to be.

00:57:03.000 There's so many different angles where you could say there's so many different interests at play.

00:57:06.000 The NFL definitely doesn't want us to talk about how CTE is common throughout football players and like banging your head against one another probably isn't the healthiest thing to do.

00:57:14.000 And that's coming from a former JV football player.

00:57:16.000 And like, I don't know, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell me that, hey, if we bang our heads together really hard and fast and repetitively, that it could probably scramble your brains a little bit.

00:57:26.000 Politically, it would be damaging for the globalized endified people.

00:57:30.000 It could just be, I mean, it's pick your conspiracy.

00:57:32.000 It could be the FBI just sent somebody in to try to make some more anti-gun legislation.

00:57:36.000 So it's really difficult to...

00:57:45.000 Well, it's allegedly he had an alleged note.

00:57:47.000 There is no official formal declaration of motivation.

00:57:50.000 The law enforcement has not come out.

00:57:52.000 This is what I find fascinating because you guys are citing media reports from unnamed sources.

00:58:00.000 I'm citing the stuff that I've read.

00:58:01.000 But I mean, that's just as, it's just as likely as that he might be a pro-Palestine guy.

00:58:07.000 Sure.

00:58:08.000 And my point is, you know, you said it seems likely that he was motivated by the NFL.

00:58:14.000 It's like, they haven't released his motive yet.

00:58:17.000 I said seems likely because of the fact that I've seen stuff that there was a that to me seems likely because he went to go to the NFL.

00:58:28.000 He didn't, though.

00:58:29.000 So here's my issue.

00:58:30.000 A guy shows up to Blackstone's building, kills a Blackstone executive, goes to Blackstone's real estate floor, shoots at people on Blackstone's floor, and then some unnamed sources say he was met at football, and everyone's like, that explains it.

00:58:45.000 And I'm like, wait, wait, hold on, what's going on here?

00:58:47.000 A guy went to a Blackstone office, killed a Blackstone executive, got an elevator up to the Blackstone 32nd and 33rd floors, was shooting at employees of their real estate holdings division, and then the media launched these unnamed sources, and I'm being told that it's the NFL.

00:59:01.000 And I'm like, what law enforcement hasn't put out his motivation yet?

00:59:05.000 If the cops come out and say, we found evidence to conclude that this guy was just a crazy guy with CTE who was targeting the NFL, I'll say, yeah, okay.

00:59:12.000 I mean, I'll lean a little bit in that direction because that's at least what we're hearing somewhat.

00:59:17.000 But if we look at what it was reported that he did, he killed a Blackstone executive in the Blackstone building and then went to the Blackstone floor targeting Blackstone employees.

00:59:25.000 According to Eric Adams, he mistakenly went to the— By the way, though, if the narrative is that it's anti-football and that football is dangerous, the corporate media is grabbing onto that immediately.

00:59:41.000 Why?

00:59:42.000 Because they hate football.

00:59:44.000 Because football is uniquely masculine and American.

00:59:47.000 No, really.

00:59:47.000 I mean, there's a massive movement among those types, ruling class people, including the corporate media, against playing football in this country.

00:59:54.000 So if they think they can grab onto that, whether it's true or not, they're going to run with that narrative.

00:59:58.000 And by the way, I will certainly defend football.

01:00:00.000 Football is very worthy of American young men playing.

01:00:03.000 But it is violent and dangerous and can cause CTE.

01:00:06.000 Yes, all of that is true.

01:00:07.000 Playing high school, there's no significant data that playing high school football leads to, in any significant measure, to CTE.

01:00:14.000 I mean, that is also demonstrably true.

01:00:16.000 But are there risks?

01:00:17.000 Of course, just as there's risks to playing hockey, there's risk to playing soccer to your head by hitting the soccer ball, right?

01:00:22.000 It's actually quite dangerous for your brain.

01:00:23.000 So there's risk to all sports.

01:00:24.000 But I'm getting back to this case.

01:00:26.000 Let me ask you this, Tim.

01:00:28.000 What would be the motivation of the NYPD on the scene to do something that is defensive of Mamdani?

01:00:33.000 In other words, why would they want to cover for a possible incoming mayor who the police hate?

01:00:38.000 They wouldn't.

01:00:39.000 Okay, so who would then?

01:00:41.000 Unnamed sources talking to the press claimed he had a note in his pocket.

01:00:44.000 Oh, okay, so you're saying that whole part's just manufactured?

01:00:46.000 No, I'm saying when the media comes out, here's what I'm saying.

01:00:50.000 I'm saying this.

01:00:50.000 I have no idea what his motivation was.

01:00:53.000 What we know is that a guy went to a Blackstone office, shot a Blackstone executive responsible for their, who was in their real estate division, went up to a real estate holdings floor, which includes Blackstone, and again, shot people.

01:01:06.000 And then we got from the corporate press that unnamed sources said he had a note in his pocket blaming the NFL.

01:01:12.000 And I got a chat full of people right now saying, yep, that's true.

01:01:17.000 So you guys in the chat right now just saying the mainstream media's unnamed sources are correct?

01:01:21.000 You're right.

01:01:21.000 Trump is a Russian agent.

01:01:22.000 Are you kidding me?

01:01:24.000 So when we get this story and I wake up in the morning, I look at the news and it says he had a note in his pocket blaming the NFL.

01:01:30.000 I went, wow, that's crazy.

01:01:31.000 And then I read it and said, two unnamed sources say.

01:01:34.000 And I was like, okay.

01:01:35.000 And then, as of right now, law enforcement has not released a motive.

01:01:39.000 So where did this narrative come from?

01:01:41.000 And why has everyone latched onto it as if it's a fact?

01:01:43.000 Well, and what I'm telling you is that the corporate media, if that is manufactured, in fact, the corporate media would concoct that in a second because they would say, wow, he shot someone from the NFL, right?

01:01:54.000 Why would he hate the NFL?

01:01:55.000 Let's say he has CTE because we hate football and because we want football to go away.

01:01:59.000 I'm saying, I don't think that's an implausible motivation if, in fact, it's a manufactured story.

01:02:04.000 So my question for y'all in chat watching right now is, with law enforcement saying there's no evidence of an official motive, do you believe the media narrative provided by unnamed sources and reiterated by Mary Eric Adams that it was a guy who never associated with the NFL?

01:02:25.000 And I'm not saying that facetiously.

01:02:26.000 It's a guy who played a couple years of high school football and then went to the NFL offices, shot a Blackstone executive, got in the wrong elevator, and then took his own life accidentally going to the Blackstone offices.

01:02:39.000 Is that what happened?

01:02:40.000 Honest question.

01:02:42.000 According to the media, so far from the reports that we have, it seems more or less that he accidentally went to Blackstone.

01:02:49.000 I think it gets to a larger point that none of us believe the official narrative we're going to be told, right?

01:02:54.000 I mean, and that's the sad place of American society.

01:02:58.000 Well, but unfortunately, it's because so much law enforcement, particularly federal law enforcement, I love cops, love beat cops on the street, but federal law enforcement has been so corrupted and poisoned and politicized that we simply don't believe these institutions that we formerly held in high regard, particularly the FBI.

01:03:14.000 So, I mean, I think this is what we're talking about here is unfortunately reflective of that larger reality of just disbelief of whatever we're told, is it true?

01:03:22.000 I don't know, even if it's official.

01:03:23.000 Now, in this case, too, we're talking about reporting, which is a whole other level of natural skepticism, which is very proper.

01:03:30.000 But the point is, for example, how many people do you know who believe that we know the full truth about the mass Las Vegas shooting, right?

01:03:36.000 Oh, we never got it right.

01:03:38.000 It seems no one believes that we know the full truth.

01:03:39.000 No one's a good person.

01:03:40.000 That's because that many guns are heavy.

01:03:42.000 Well, I'm just saying, no, there's all kinds of reasons, but the point is, I don't know anyone who believes, you know.

01:03:47.000 Here's what I'm let me tell you where I'm coming from.

01:03:49.000 I was out yesterday.

01:03:50.000 Obviously, I was sick, and I'm watching the news, and the initial reporting is a guy walks into the Blackstone building, shoots and kills a Blackstone executive, goes up to the real estate holdings office, and is targeting more people. 0.98

01:04:05.000 And then I was like, holy crap. 0.94

01:04:07.000 Remember how we've been talking about for years how Blackstone is buying up houses?

01:04:11.000 According to Fast Company, one year, a year and a half ago, Blackstone is back to being a top player in the housing market.

01:04:16.000 Here are the numbers.

01:04:17.000 A story that we've covered routinely was how Blackstone would, there would be like a young Gen Z couple trying to buy a house.

01:04:24.000 And then all of a sudden the seller would say, Blackstone came in 20% above market.

01:04:28.000 And they'd sell it, driving the prices away up and keeping young people out of the market.

01:04:31.000 And what would we say the whole time?

01:04:33.000 You will own nothing and you will be happy.

01:04:34.000 That was the agenda.

01:04:36.000 So then when I hear a story about a guy going to the Blackstone offices, again, killing a Blackstone executive who specifically worked in real estate, then going up to a real estate office, which also it was a real estate company and it was Blackstone. 0.98

01:04:49.000 I was like, holy crap.

01:04:51.000 It sounds like this lines up with what we'd expect from online activism, the conspiracy community. 0.87

01:04:58.000 And then the morning when I woke up, They said, nah, he was just a guy who thought the NFL was bad and he accidentally went to the wrong floor.

01:05:06.000 And I was like, well, that doesn't add up to anything.

01:05:09.000 I mean, that doesn't fit any online activism communities.

01:05:13.000 How was he radicalized into deciding to shoot NFL people?

01:05:17.000 Why would I assume that's true?

01:05:18.000 And then the reports were that it was unnamed sources.

01:05:21.000 Throughout the day, however, everybody's been pushing that narrative, assuming that's the case.

01:05:26.000 And as of right now, law enforcement has not stated they know of what his motivation was.

01:05:31.000 So I find it interesting that there's this split and people are really trying hard to say, no, no, it's just big football is dangerous.

01:05:39.000 And there's, I just, I find it hard to believe that, you know, when you look at the mass shootings we've had in the past, the motivations line up in some degree. 0.53

01:05:48.000 So you had the transgender lunatic went to a Catholic school and targeted Christians, blamed them and wrote this stuff down.

01:05:55.000 You had, you know, obviously, if you go back further, you have Orlando. 0.99

01:05:58.000 You have the shooting of the congressional baseball game.

01:06:00.000 It seems to be that the motivations line up with something tangible in politics and culture.

01:06:04.000 The NFL?

01:06:07.000 You can't go up against the NFL?

01:06:09.000 I just find the whole thing to be very weird, to be honest.

01:06:11.000 And again, I'll stress this.

01:06:13.000 When law enforcement comes out and says, no, no, we do believe based on the evidence, this is the official narrative, the official motivation, I'll say, okay, sure.

01:06:21.000 Y'all are right.

01:06:22.000 But I'm just stressing, right now, there's no official motivation as per law enforcement, only these unnamed media reports.

01:06:28.000 And there are people desperately in the chat right now saying it was the NFL.

01:06:32.000 And I'm like, oh, okay.

01:06:34.000 I got to be honest, I've never heard of this before in my life.

01:06:37.000 Have you guys, that like the NFL is running a conspiracy to destroy people who suffer from CTE?

01:06:42.000 Well, there is a significant propaganda campaign against football, yes.

01:06:45.000 And really, it's particularly been pronounced since that Will Smith movie, Concussion, right?

01:06:49.000 Try to scare people into believing that playing football means, you know, you're going to be...

01:06:53.000 My point specifically is, and I mean this sincerely, is there a conspiracy theory or, not a conspiracy theory, but like a contention about NFL targeting people suffering from CTE in their high schools to stop them from hurting their reputation of football?

01:07:11.000 I guess the idea would be that the NFL didn't properly talk about the risk that playing football can bring, which includes CTE, would be the argument from the...

01:07:26.000 Look, my money's on, and this is just an opinion, but I think that it's just mental illness that he had a psychotic break and that he imagined that the situation was as he's said.

01:07:40.000 So that's just, again, this is only based on the things that I know, and it's only an opinion.

01:07:45.000 It's not that I have any...

01:07:46.000 Someone helped him get...

01:07:47.000 You know, I don't...

01:07:55.000 I'm not sure who.

01:07:56.000 Could be.

01:07:56.000 And that he had a permit in Vegas, in Nevada, and that's where he was able to acquire the weapon and then came to New York.

01:08:03.000 I also find it just strange that someone from Nevada would plan this whole thing out and then go to the wrong floor.

01:08:11.000 Maybe.

01:08:11.000 I mean, maybe.

01:08:12.000 I will say Manhattan buildings are very confusing, and in many of these big towers, there are dozens of different businesses.

01:08:17.000 I would be surprised if it's only Blackstone and the NFL in that building.

01:08:20.000 Yeah, there's like KMPGM or something like that.

01:08:23.000 If a building has 50 floors, you know.

01:08:24.000 That building is a full city block.

01:08:26.000 So there's tons of different businesses in there.

01:08:29.000 I want to believe that we aren't seeing more targeted killings of Jews.

01:08:35.000 She was a UJA president.

01:08:38.000 She worked at a Jewish foundation too.

01:08:40.000 And I don't know.

01:08:42.000 I hope that's not true.

01:08:43.000 I hope we're not seeing the normalization of this in New York City, in Manhattan, in Pennsylvania, in too many places to name.

01:08:51.000 When I look on the surface, there's, like I mentioned, the shooting in Tennessee motivated by woke leftism, and they withheld the information.

01:09:03.000 Is it, and I'm asking you guys sincerely, when we get these mass shootings, do they typically release the motivation on day one, like within 10, within three or four hours of?

01:09:12.000 Honestly, it depends on what the motivation is.

01:09:15.000 If it was right away.

01:09:17.000 Right.

01:09:18.000 If it's a right-wing thing, they release it, but it's a left-wing thing, they don't.

01:09:22.000 That's been the practice.

01:09:23.000 If they chant something at the shooting, then they'll talk about it sooner.

01:09:26.000 If there's a manifesto, sometimes they'll try to withhold it and withhold the details, I feel like, for as long as they can.

01:09:31.000 Unless it's right-wing.

01:09:32.000 Unless it's right wing or unless the shooter did something during the shooting to make it obvious.

01:09:37.000 So I feel like it's a case for a question.

01:09:42.000 Yeah.

01:09:43.000 By the way, regarding that, that horrific shooting at Covenant School, the only reason that finally we did get full transparency is because a local radio host, Michael Patrick Leahy, sued for it, thankfully, successfully sued, and said this must be public.

01:09:56.000 By the way, there was no reason.

01:09:57.000 Law enforcement was trying to claim that they needed it to keep it private to investigate.

01:10:01.000 Well, the shooter was dead, right?

01:10:03.000 So there's nothing to investigate in terms of if they don't have to prepare for trial, they don't have to worry about evidence.

01:10:07.000 It should have been released immediately.

01:10:08.000 The only reason it wasn't is because in a very conservative state of Tennessee, where I live, the one liberal bastion is Nashville, right?

01:10:14.000 And the Nashville authorities simply did not want it out that this was a trans person upset at her Christian school that didn't approve of her lifestyle choices.

01:10:23.000 And she went back there and slaughtered children because of it. 1.00

01:10:25.000 And that wasn't a ruling class narrative that is approved and that can get out, right? 0.68

01:10:31.000 Had it been a situation like the terrible situation in South Carolina, Dylan Roof killing black people in a black church, it's out immediately.

01:10:37.000 He also lived, so he kind of said that exactly what he did and why.

01:10:42.000 So if that's the case, then you'll know pretty quickly as well.

01:10:46.000 This is interesting because someone super chatted this.

01:10:50.000 They said, because I wasn't, I got to be honest, last night I was in bed watching Fox News literally all day.

01:10:55.000 That's all I was doing.

01:10:56.000 Got to love Fox.

01:10:57.000 And it's time to stand says, what about the woman on video in New York who said the shooter was screaming free Palestine?

01:11:04.000 And so I looked it up and even Laura Loomer tweeted, yes, we get it. 0.93

01:11:09.000 Free Palestine is a mental disorder as if that was it. 0.84

01:11:14.000 Witnesses say the suspect yelled free Palestine. 0.87

01:11:17.000 I'm not the shooter while armed with an AR-15.

01:11:21.000 And this is a wrong person.

01:11:23.000 There's images of NYPD arresting a guy and it's a guy.

01:11:26.000 He's like, I'm not the shooter.

01:11:27.000 So I think the NYPD arrested a guy, but it was not the shooter.

01:11:33.000 And the guy who wasn't the shooter who got arrested did yell Free Palestine, and now people think the shooter was yelling Free Palestine.

01:11:38.000 I think that's what happened.

01:11:40.000 Just based off what I'm looking at right now on X, it looks like initially the cops arrested a different person, and people thought he was the shooter.

01:11:50.000 I don't know.

01:11:51.000 Man, y'all decide, I guess.

01:11:54.000 In the IRL Slack, there's a link.

01:11:57.000 There's a tsunami hitting Russia right now.

01:12:00.000 Wow.

01:12:00.000 Wait.

01:12:02.000 The tsunami has hit...

01:12:04.000 Servo Curlisk?

01:12:05.000 I believe.

01:12:07.000 I believe.

01:12:11.000 Wow, there it is.

01:12:14.000 All right, man.

01:12:15.000 I hope everybody in Alaska is paying attention and safe.

01:12:19.000 Get to high ground.

01:12:22.000 That is crazy.

01:12:26.000 Wow.

01:12:27.000 Yep.

01:12:27.000 And people don't understand.

01:12:29.000 They think, you know, for movies, tsunamis are these gigantic waves that come over your city.

01:12:32.000 It's basically just the whole water levels rising rapidly and flowing in.

01:12:36.000 And what's going to get you, you know what, man?

01:12:40.000 I've seen more than a videos.

01:12:41.000 I know most of you have where people try to walk across streams.

01:12:43.000 Yeah.

01:12:43.000 You ever watch those videos?

01:12:44.000 And they go, whoosh, just flip.

01:12:46.000 They don't understand fluid dynamics and the amount of force on your feet.

01:12:50.000 Not to mention, it's slippery.

01:12:52.000 Yep.

01:12:52.000 It's slippery.

01:12:54.000 We got to jump to this story.

01:12:55.000 We have to.

01:12:56.000 This is the biggest news in the country.

01:12:58.000 WNBA star loses wig during game as game stopped due to fan reaction.

01:13:04.000 They also kicked the guy out.

01:13:07.000 And are you kidding me?

01:13:10.000 Are you kidding me?

01:13:12.000 For making fun of her.

01:13:14.000 I was just, I'm watching the clip and the player's wig comes off and she runs out and they stop the game.

01:13:19.000 And I'm like, just shut the whole, shut it down.

01:13:21.000 No more WNBA. 1.00

01:13:23.000 You're not allowed to play if you have to pause the pause, timeout, wig accident.

01:13:28.000 That's the WNBA for you. 1.00

01:13:29.000 I don't understand why anybody is acting like the W NBA matters.

01:13:33.000 Why are they trying to make it a thing?

01:13:34.000 Everything about this league is just patently absurd.

01:13:37.000 And I think perhaps the most absurd part is the players and others trying to protest that they're not paid enough when the league is 100% subsidized by the men, right?

01:13:46.000 And that's supposed to be a win for feminism to say we have a captive league that can only exist by the benefits of men, right? 1.00

01:13:54.000 And by the charity of men, right?

01:13:56.000 I mean, that's absurd.

01:13:57.000 It's the opposite of feminism. 1.00

01:13:58.000 And not only that, I mean, the women that are saying, oh, hey, you know, pay us what we're worth, et cetera, like they're totally ignoring that fact and making believe that that isn't the actual situation, which the economic value is negative. 0.99

01:14:13.000 Okay, that's what you're actually worth economically, right?

01:14:15.000 I figured it out.

01:14:17.000 It's Juana Mann.

01:14:19.000 She ran off when her wig fell off because people are going to realize it's a disgraced former NBA player who's playing in the women's league to try and play ball. 1.00

01:14:26.000 But here you can see the player right here, her wig fell off. 0.97

01:14:29.000 There she is.

01:14:30.000 She grabs it and runs off the court. 1.00

01:14:33.000 I mean, if you're in a men's game, would there be any situation that you could even think of that resembles this?

01:14:43.000 Yeah.

01:14:44.000 Okay, but also, can we talk about the idea of kicking the fan out for laughing about what is clearly an absurd situation?

01:14:50.000 I mean, what's next?

01:14:50.000 You can't boo the opponent?

01:14:52.000 I mean, this is a big part of spectator sports, right?

01:14:55.000 Yeah.

01:14:55.000 Is having fun and even to the degree of being kind of mean, right, about the opposite team.

01:14:59.000 And are we now censoring that?

01:15:00.000 Is that now verboten or only in the WNBA, I guess?

01:15:03.000 It's only one person that laughed.

01:15:05.000 So I will say this.

01:15:06.000 No, I guess someone was like making fun of her.

01:15:10.000 And so they removed him.

01:15:11.000 She deserved it.

01:15:12.000 I mean, she ran on.

01:15:13.000 Sit in the outfield at Yankee Stadium, right, when the other team's in the field, when the Yankees are batting, and listen to the crowd mock the players, right?

01:15:19.000 I mean, it's almost an art form, right?

01:15:22.000 It's as crude as it could possibly be.

01:15:24.000 I'm not saying that we all should model that behavior, but the point is that's part of sports, right?

01:15:28.000 It's clearly part of sports.

01:15:29.000 And we're saying you can't even make fun of something that's clearly a really absurd situation.

01:15:35.000 So I'm not particularly compelled or interested in the WNBA, but I do think it's a good thing that it exists.

01:15:42.000 I think the worst thing about the WNBA, though, is that it seems as though the players are doing everything within their power to make the league fail. 0.62

01:15:51.000 Most of the players are extremely unlikable.

01:15:53.000 When they have one talented player, everybody on the other teams get jealous of her.

01:15:57.000 There's a ton of envy amongst the league players.

01:16:00.000 They're very arrogant.

01:16:01.000 They're not open to change. 0.87

01:16:02.000 One of the big things that they could do.

01:16:03.000 Taking the Colbert approach on this one, Being on the wrong side of an A20 issue?

01:16:08.000 But just let me finish.

01:16:09.000 There's one thing that there's actually a couple of the players were asked that could change the game to make it a lot more interesting, and that is lowering the rim to allow the women to be able to dunk. 1.00

01:16:17.000 One of the things that, again, makes normal men's basketball very interesting.

01:16:20.000 Maybe like five feet.

01:16:22.000 Whatever it may be.

01:16:22.000 Cut it in half.

01:16:23.000 Eight, nine.

01:16:24.000 I think dunking would completely change the game for them.

01:16:28.000 And they're like, no, we want to be like the men.

01:16:30.000 We want to be like the men.

01:16:30.000 So it's like this ego of the menu.

01:16:32.000 They need a bigger ball, too.

01:16:33.000 Well, they use a smaller ball already.

01:16:35.000 You can make the ball bigger.

01:16:36.000 No, they should make it smaller so it's easier to dunk, lower the rim, make it easier for them to hit three-pointers.

01:16:42.000 Add more than one ball, and they can juggle them.

01:16:45.000 Start defending Caitlin Clark.

01:16:46.000 And I mean, I think it's a good thing to have young women to have a sports league that they could potentially look up to. 1.00

01:16:52.000 But again, all these players are extremely unlikable.

01:16:55.000 The only thing they got going for them is that Foxy Boxing is live now in Indiana.

01:17:00.000 I'm not kidding.

01:17:02.000 It's a disgusting league. 0.97

01:17:03.000 It's a waste of money. 1.00

01:17:05.000 It's laughably pathetic. 1.00

01:17:07.000 Timeout. 0.99

01:17:08.000 Wig fell off.

01:17:08.000 Oh, what are we?

01:17:09.000 What is this?

01:17:10.000 Kindergarten?

01:17:11.000 Oh, I lost my hair.

01:17:13.000 Oh, God, I can't play no more. 0.84

01:17:14.000 And then on top of that, when Caitlin Clark starts making the money for the league, they start beating the crap out of her. 0.99

01:17:20.000 It's like, okay.

01:17:22.000 No, but there's still women and there's a lot of people. 1.00

01:17:24.000 Just get rid of it.

01:17:24.000 You don't deserve to have a WNBA anymore.

01:17:27.000 Why is the NBA paying for this?

01:17:29.000 We would not be talking about this topic tonight if it were not for Caitlin Clark.

01:17:32.000 Like, that's the only reason.

01:17:33.000 The WNBA was totally ignored before Caitlin Clark. 1.00

01:17:36.000 So she made the league relevant, made it controversial, made it into something that Timcast wants to talk about.

01:17:42.000 But here's the thing.

01:17:42.000 So what do they do to thank her for bringing them relevance?

01:17:45.000 They physically assaulted her every chance they got because she happens to be white and straight, two unforgivable sins, apparently, in the WNBA. 1.00

01:17:52.000 So look, I think this league should be thoroughly mocked.

01:17:55.000 I think it's a joke.

01:17:56.000 I think it's bad for our culture.

01:17:57.000 It's bad for our society because it's full of hate, And the hate is condoned, and in fact, sometimes even celebrated.

01:18:03.000 Well, I mean, look, you've got, I mean, it's all women, and women hate each other. 1.00

01:18:07.000 So, I mean, they're going to hate.

01:18:09.000 That's just part of the dynamic. 1.00

01:18:11.000 To continue harping on them being so unlikable, I forgot the tall woman who brought pot to freaking Russia like a fucking moron. 1.00

01:18:18.000 Brittany Griner. 1.00

01:18:18.000 And then Brittany Griner. 1.00

01:18:20.000 And then we had to do one of the, again, one of the worst trade deals in history, giving up like an infamous Russian arms dealer, Victor Boot, I believe it was.

01:18:30.000 Very smart woman.

01:18:31.000 She need to be smarter than that, man. 1.00

01:18:34.000 So, again, the league are making themselves extremely unlikable, but like on principle, I think the idea is nice.

01:18:40.000 Like a woman's league. 0.99

01:18:43.000 On principle, just it's a new business.

01:18:45.000 I like when businesses thrive and try to empower women, but when it plays out like this, right? 1.00

01:18:49.000 So what do Brittany Griner and Bridget Macron have in common? 1.00

01:18:53.000 Potentially men?

01:18:54.000 I don't know.

01:18:55.000 Allegedly.

01:18:56.000 I'm saying that with so many other people.

01:18:57.000 As long as we're talking conspiracy theories, though.

01:18:59.000 No, I don't want to get sued because, you know, the Macron's are coming out of the city.

01:19:02.000 You can't get sued for calling a woman a man.

01:19:07.000 You can't in France, apparently.

01:19:08.000 No.

01:19:08.000 They're suing Candace Owens.

01:19:10.000 They're suing her here, and it's going to get tossed out in two seconds. 0.99

01:19:12.000 They're going to have to pay her legal fees. 1.00

01:19:14.000 It's a stupid suing Candace Owens because she called Bridget Macron a man. 1.00

01:19:17.000 That's protected speech. 1.00

01:19:18.000 Yeah, and everyone knows Bridget McCrone is Eddie. 1.00

01:19:22.000 The argument is in court, you'll have to ask what's inherently defamatory about accusing someone of being transgender.

01:19:28.000 And Bridget McCrone is going to have to publicly state being transgender is bad and defamatory because. 0.99

01:19:36.000 So it's not going to happen.

01:19:37.000 And Brady Griner's been a good one.

01:19:40.000 There's allegedly a video of Brittany Griner walking around with no shirt on, and it's a guy.

01:19:44.000 Maybe it's not Brittany Griner. 0.61

01:19:46.000 I have no idea, but this is the internet, so if it's on the internet, it must be true.

01:19:48.000 Listen to Brittany Griner speak. 1.00

01:19:50.000 Right. 0.90

01:19:51.000 Well, there are a lot of butch, masculine women who I mean, no, she did look... 1.00

01:19:56.000 I know what video you're talking about without her shirt on, and it did look a little bit odd, but I...

01:20:01.000 I didn't see the video.

01:20:02.000 Do you think Bridget McCrone is a man more importantly, though?

01:20:04.000 I didn't before, but after this lawsuit, I'm like, oh, man.

01:20:07.000 Yeah, she really streissand affected that.

01:20:09.000 But if I'm Bridget McCrone, I'm so conflicted on how to fight back against Candace.

01:20:14.000 You don't.

01:20:15.000 Michelle Obama is just like, whatever.

01:20:17.000 With Macrone, by the way.

01:20:18.000 No, to be real quick, sorry.

01:20:20.000 One of the reasons, there's a rumor that the reason Michelle Obama refuses to run for president is because they call her a man. 0.96

01:20:27.000 Like, could you imagine being like an aging woman and you're getting old and ugly? 1.00

01:20:30.000 And then all over the world, millions of people are like, that's a guy.

01:20:35.000 That's going to rip at their hearts, you know?

01:20:37.000 So I heard Michelle Obama won't run because of the man comments.

01:20:42.000 In that case, it's a very effective way to get her to not run.

01:20:46.000 Indeed, it is.

01:20:46.000 I'm very happy about that.

01:20:47.000 She doesn't want to be in the limelight and get called a man for two years.

01:20:51.000 Yeah.

01:20:51.000 Or six.

01:20:52.000 I struggle with it because what if Bridget McCrone actually is a woman and she's just being mercilessly slandered by Candace Owens almost baselessly because she's repeating some almost slanderous about calling Bridget McCrone a man because she's allegedly a woman. 0.91

01:21:11.000 Right, but what's slanderous about it?

01:21:14.000 what's inherently defamatory.

01:21:15.000 She's lying about the gender of Oh, whoa. 0.56

01:21:23.000 How is it defamatory?

01:21:23.000 It's a little bit more complicated than that because that would mean that the person France is married to a man who's pretending to be a woman.

01:21:30.000 What's defamatory about it?

01:21:31.000 That's the question.

01:21:33.000 They're lying about her gender.

01:21:34.000 What's defamatory about it?

01:21:37.000 To lie about somebody's gender, to imply that they switched genders when they didn't feel defamatory.

01:21:42.000 It's a statement.

01:21:43.000 It's a statement.

01:21:43.000 Now, what is defamatory?

01:21:45.000 They're defaming her.

01:21:46.000 Let me try this again.

01:21:47.000 Defamation would be like if I said Elod kicks dogs for fun.

01:21:52.000 He goes to parks and kicks dogs, right?

01:21:56.000 I am striking at your honor and trustworthiness.

01:21:59.000 If I said he has a disease, if he committed a crime, if he throws, he spray paint vandalizes churches.

01:22:08.000 These are defamatory. 0.98

01:22:10.000 If I said he once paid a hooker to pee on a bed, that's defamatory. 0.80

01:22:13.000 Saying Britain McCarthy's a man, what about that is inherently defamatory? 0.96

01:22:18.000 I understand you keep saying it over and over again.

01:22:20.000 I'm asking you that question because the reality is there's only a conservative answer, which is it is offensive to conservatives to surgically alter your body.

01:22:32.000 It's considered amoral.

01:22:34.000 And it's going to upset your standing in the conservative and religious communities.

01:22:39.000 Is that the argument she wants to make?

01:22:41.000 Because she can.

01:22:43.000 But on the surface, publicly, there is nothing inherently damaging or defamatory about calling a woman a man or a man a woman.

01:22:50.000 It would be no different than if I said you had blonde hair and you dye it.

01:22:54.000 I think there's a little bit, something a little bit different there, Tim.

01:22:57.000 Because I think she's trying to hurt her public image here. 1.00

01:23:01.000 And you saying I've a definitely a point here.

01:23:04.000 What is damaging to Bridget McCrone's public image by being a man? 0.82

01:23:09.000 It's implying that she's the opposite gender and a closeted transgender person.

01:23:12.000 I think the only thing that's not that hard.

01:23:13.000 And that she's trying to harm her public image. 1.00

01:23:15.000 I think the only thing that could be said that would be damaging would be implying that she's dishonest, but actually being transgender isn't. 0.83

01:23:22.000 And I think that that's a big stretch, to be honest with you.

01:23:25.000 Calling someone a liar is not defamation at all.

01:23:27.000 That's why I said it's a big stretch, but it's not, it technically isn't defamatory to say.

01:23:32.000 No, the reality is considering it defamatory because Candace hurt her feelings.

01:23:38.000 That's it.

01:23:38.000 It is not defamatory.

01:23:40.000 If someone went online and said Tim Poole is actually a trans man and has been a woman his whole life or whatever, a trans investigator, there's nothing defamatory I could do.

01:23:49.000 You can't do anything about that.

01:23:51.000 There's just nothing you can do about that.

01:23:53.000 You can literally call someone a white supremacist.

01:23:55.000 You can't sue them.

01:23:56.000 It's not defamation.

01:23:57.000 We'll see how this plays out in Delaware court.

01:23:59.000 I'm not a lawyer, so you could be right on the definitions.

01:24:02.000 Oh, bro, I've been involved in so many lawsuits pertaining to this stuff.

01:24:05.000 It's gonna get thrown out, the judge is gonna...

01:24:17.000 Because even if they could prove that Candace knew Bridget McCrone was actually a woman, there's no damages from it.

01:24:24.000 It's not defamation per se, and there's no damages.

01:24:28.000 So it's like she knew she was lying, but Bridget McCron's not been damaged in any meaningful way.

01:24:33.000 And well, do you believe, I mean, the issue is, do you actually believe Candace Owens when she's saying this?

01:24:39.000 She staked her so-called journalistic reputation on this.

01:24:41.000 I think Candace Owens thinks Bridget McCrone is a man, yes.

01:24:44.000 Okay.

01:24:44.000 Yeah.

01:24:45.000 I'm excited to see how this folks are.

01:24:46.000 I don't think Michelle Obama is a man, though.

01:24:48.000 I totally understand your logic here, right?

01:24:50.000 Because you're saying there's obviously an implied value judgment if it is defamatory.

01:24:54.000 But I would also push back and say that to the sensible masses, transgendering is the negative, right? 1.00

01:24:59.000 So to the sensible masses, it is defamatory if it's not true, because that is negative, and they do judge that as being a poor decision. 0.98

01:25:07.000 It's changing shit. 0.98

01:25:07.000 It's not. 0.98

01:25:10.000 I think if you said something like, Elad, appearance defamation is so hard because like on the surface, I just don't know, there's no way this can be defamatory because you're literally just talking about her looks.

01:25:22.000 You can make an argument that Elad is a sinner.

01:25:24.000 Like Elad has, that's the point.

01:25:28.000 The only argument about why it would be defamatory is that she has sinned or something.

01:25:33.000 Because to the left, it's a whole net positive.

01:25:35.000 Sure.

01:25:35.000 She's come into herself and it should be celebrated and it's prideful.

01:25:39.000 So at the bare minimum, it's not defamatory.

01:25:42.000 It just is a statement and there's nothing to sue for and she's not been damaged by it.

01:25:46.000 I mean, maybe she'll come out and be like, I was trying to go to a beauty pageant and they won't let me in because I thought I was a man.

01:25:51.000 I think she's not damaged here.

01:25:55.000 I think because people think that she's a closeted transgender person.

01:25:59.000 People believe that she's literally a man and that harms the reputation of her and her husband to be homosexuals. 0.92

01:26:06.000 I'm going to ask you again, just if I said something like, Elad kicks dogs, okay, that is a violent action. 0.94

01:26:16.000 It is a criminal action.

01:26:18.000 It can cause monetary damages with veterinary bills.

01:26:23.000 If I said Elad is a vandal, that's not defamatory.

01:26:27.000 If I said Elad vandalized a church at this place, it is, because I'm implying you have committed a crime.

01:26:34.000 In fact, that is defamation per se.

01:26:36.000 To say that Bridget Macron is a man does none of these things and it results in no required corrective marketing. 0.81

01:26:43.000 There's no damages to be corrected.

01:26:45.000 Half of the people like that she's trans and half of the people don't.

01:26:49.000 So it's neutral at best.

01:26:50.000 When you say it's reputation damaging, I'm asking you to explain in what way it damages someone's reputation.

01:26:56.000 Again, the only argument would be that it's a sin.

01:26:59.000 In the religious community, it's seen as sinful.

01:27:02.000 In the liberal community, it's seen as prideful.

01:27:05.000 So it's kind of neutral, I guess.

01:27:07.000 Right?

01:27:08.000 It is universally accepted that kicking dogs is bad.

01:27:10.000 So it harms your reputation because people now won't let you near their dogs.

01:27:13.000 You can't go to the local dog competition or whatever, the dog show.

01:27:19.000 That all makes sense.

01:27:20.000 She's not going to be banned from anywhere.

01:27:22.000 She's not going to have to spend any money.

01:27:23.000 There's just nothing defamatory there.

01:27:26.000 I guess not.

01:27:27.000 We'll let the courts decide.

01:27:28.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:27:29.000 Why are we even talking about this now?

01:27:32.000 From the WNBA.

01:27:33.000 Yeah, they are.

01:27:33.000 Oh, right, right.

01:27:35.000 Victor Griner.

01:27:36.000 Worse than a deal again, Victor Hugh.

01:27:39.000 I can't believe that.

01:27:40.000 The merchant of death, right?

01:27:42.000 Yeah.

01:27:43.000 Should have let it.

01:27:44.000 Worse than trading away Baby Roof?

01:27:47.000 That's before my time.

01:27:50.000 I don't know.

01:27:50.000 The Red Sox traded Baby Roof to the Yankees.

01:27:52.000 Okay. 0.99

01:27:54.000 Yeah, Brittany Griner, a dumb trade deal. 1.00

01:27:57.000 I can't believe she was even dumb enough to bring Pot to Russia, nonetheless. 0.99

01:28:02.000 Anyway. 0.99

01:28:03.000 Let's jump to the story from Newsweek.

01:28:05.000 Ron DeSantis predicts NYC cops will flee to Florida if Zoran Mamdani wins.

01:28:11.000 I don't know about Florida, but Florida's probably a good choice.

01:28:14.000 What do you guys think?

01:28:15.000 You think if this commie wins mayor, the cops are going to flee?

01:28:18.000 Yeah.

01:28:18.000 I mean, and why wouldn't they, by the way?

01:28:21.000 No, most cops are not, clearly.

01:28:23.000 In New York, I think they are.

01:28:25.000 No, not even in New York.

01:28:26.000 Come on.

01:28:26.000 I mean, most New York cops are salt of the earth, wonderful, patriotic people.

01:28:30.000 I disagree.

01:28:31.000 I think a lot of the cops in New York are commies.

01:28:35.000 I think a lot of them are.

01:28:35.000 I strongly disagree with that.

01:28:37.000 I think a lot of them live in Staten Island and hate what the city is.

01:28:40.000 But having lived in New York for five years and routinely interacted with NYPD, I think they're mostly default lib.

01:28:52.000 And default lib is, to be fair, not commie.

01:28:55.000 But when the communists get power and say, go do communist things, they go, okay, boss.

01:29:00.000 Like when they painted Black Lives Matter in front of Trump Tower, and then 26 officers were like, you got it, boss.

01:29:05.000 It's an illegal theft of public funds without city council approval.

01:29:08.000 And they're painting a public message on a street, which violates federal law, but we're going to enforce it anyway.

01:29:13.000 And then NYPD started arresting a bunch of people.

01:29:15.000 Or how about when in New York during COVID, when they shut down churches and the cops were like, what was it?

01:29:21.000 No more First Amendment. 0.73

01:29:22.000 All right, we'll arrest people at the church.

01:29:24.000 That doesn't sound like salt of the earth.

01:29:26.000 That sounds like commie. 0.99

01:29:28.000 Listen, I will grant you that certainly there are a lot of compliant cops who are willing to obey against their better judgment, but that doesn't make them communists, certainly in their mentality.

01:29:36.000 When a communist says shut a church down and the cop says, you got a boss, sounds like a commie to me.

01:29:41.000 I don't believe that they're communists.

01:29:43.000 I will say this, though.

01:29:44.000 I think that it's very telling that the NYPD can't recruit people, right?

01:29:47.000 That people do not want to join, knowing that they're going to be given an impossible mission to try to fight crime when city leadership, if anything, will take the side of the criminals in every judgment call and every occasion where it's in any sense not clear.

01:30:01.000 let me ask you, why do you, why do you think it is that, uh, why, why do you believe NYPD cops are not communists?

01:30:07.000 Just from knowing so many cops and from, I've known enough, not as many as Chicago, of course, but yeah, I spent a lot of time in Chicago or New York and certainly know NYPD.

01:30:16.000 But I think in general, beat cops, I'm not talking necessarily about leadership, but in general, beat cops overwhelmingly are salty-earth, patriotic, generally very observantly religious people who do a really hard job and take tremendous risks for public safety.

01:30:33.000 I think they're honorable people on the whole.

01:30:34.000 Wouldn't communists hire other communists to be police officers?

01:30:38.000 I mean, sure.

01:30:38.000 Are there infestations of that?

01:30:40.000 Sure, of course there are.

01:30:41.000 So you think it was good, God-fearing men who shut churches down in Harris?

01:30:45.000 Clearly not.

01:30:46.000 Like, where were the good cops then to say, hey, you can't shut a church down?

01:30:50.000 I think, unfortunately, they were intimidated and compliant.

01:30:52.000 And probably a lot of them were fooled into believing they were doing something noble, into believing the Fauci nonsense and into believing that lockdowns were actually effective and that this was for the good of the people.

01:31:01.000 Violated the Constitution.

01:31:03.000 I'm not defending any of it, right?

01:31:05.000 At that time, contemporaneously, I was one of the loudest voices possible opposing what was going on.

01:31:09.000 I'm saying a lot of cops probably believed the propaganda, the propaganda from Fauci and others.

01:31:14.000 Communist propaganda.

01:31:15.000 Yeah.

01:31:16.000 And then marched in lockstep and enforced it, right?

01:31:18.000 But well-meaning people can believe lies if they are sold effectively to them.

01:31:22.000 That's my point.

01:31:23.000 So like the Milgram experiments.

01:31:26.000 When they had people believe they were electrocuting the other person and said, don't worry, I'm the authority and I tell you to do it so it's okay.

01:31:34.000 And then they had people on the other side screaming and begging for it to stop.

01:31:36.000 And the doctor's like, no, you keep going.

01:31:38.000 And they would.

01:31:38.000 They would just keep doing it.

01:31:39.000 I think that's what communism stems from.

01:31:42.000 So when you have a police department, I'll say this, the state troopers, a lot of NYPD did refuse to shut down bars in Staten Island.

01:31:50.000 NYPD refused to shut down the bars.

01:31:52.000 They did bring in state troopers.

01:31:54.000 But when it comes to the enforcement of communism, it largely has to be a Milgram-compliant group of cops.

01:32:05.000 And so if you have, at the highest levels, the government of New York is largely communist.

01:32:11.000 SDNY is communist.

01:32:13.000 I'm saying that only a little bit tongue-in-cheek because they are actually enforcing these Marxist theories and critical theories, but it's more of just cabal corruption.

01:32:22.000 The mayor appoints his head of the police department, who is going to be a political ally, a commie, and that person's going to put other cops in positions of power who are going to align or do as they're told.

01:32:34.000 Communism can't survive if there are actual God-fearing police officers who say, I'm not shutting a church down.

01:32:39.000 Good luck.

01:32:40.000 Instead, what happened?

01:32:41.000 The commies got power, and they said, no more church for you.

01:32:44.000 And the cops were like, you got it, boss, just like that. 0.94

01:32:48.000 Now that person is going to hell. 0.56

01:32:50.000 No question.

01:32:50.000 And if they think otherwise, maybe they can repent.

01:32:54.000 I don't know.

01:32:55.000 I'm not an authority figure on this.

01:32:56.000 I just got to tell.

01:32:58.000 I would assume, and y'all can criticize me for this and tell me I'm wrong, but I would kind of assume that if you use the threat of violence in force against Christians who are trying to go to church to worship, it's probably a hell-worthy trespass, I'd imagine.

01:33:13.000 I don't know.

01:33:14.000 I'm a lapsed Catholic, so I don't really know much about what I'm talking about.

01:33:16.000 But certainly it seems like one of the most egregious things you can do is use the threat of violence against people to stop them from praising the Lord.

01:33:23.000 And that's what they did in New York.

01:33:24.000 So I think they're communists.

01:33:25.000 I don't think they'll flee to Florida.

01:33:26.000 I think Zohar Manani will get in.

01:33:28.000 They'll be like, you got it, boss.

01:33:29.000 And then they're going to say, take over this grocery store.

01:33:31.000 We're turning to public works.

01:33:32.000 And they're going to say, sure thing.

01:33:34.000 No questions asked.

01:33:35.000 I think the NYPD has a very tough, very thankless job.

01:33:39.000 But at the end of the day, they do what they're told in their job because they want to keep their job.

01:33:43.000 They want to keep their pension.

01:33:44.000 And that's their interest for the most part.

01:33:45.000 So when you see people like the NYPD following orders like that, they don't want to lose their job because if they weren't following orders, then they would be fired.

01:33:53.000 Because their job is more important to them than the Constitution or their faith or their family.

01:33:58.000 To be fair, I mean, it's reasonable, right?

01:34:01.000 You got a family, you got a salary, your kid needs to go to school, your kid needs food, and the government comes to you and says, you will either do as you're told or you'll be in the pen with them.

01:34:11.000 And that's what we saw when they went to the Jewish communities and started chaining the parks shut and shutting the schools down. 1.00

01:34:16.000 They were spying and looking through windows because the Jewish community was trying to have, you know, school and temple and stuff like that.

01:34:23.000 And in Seattle, what we saw was there's a video I like to cite where Antifa threatened a guy and they were all across the street marching towards him as he walked back with his hands up.

01:34:34.000 Police pull up behind him, get out of the car, grab his hands, put him behind his back and arrest him and apologize to Antifa.

01:34:41.000 And it's fascinating to me that there's this generic conservative view that all cops are good or police are good.

01:34:46.000 And I'm like, bro, the Soviet Union, the cops were communists too.

01:34:52.000 And in Venezuela, the cops, they're all communists.

01:34:55.000 I will say most of the NYPD are outer borough or metropolitan, greater metropolitan area cops that don't want to lose their jobs, man.

01:35:03.000 Yeah, they don't want to lose their jobs.

01:35:04.000 But most of them are Republicans.

01:35:06.000 And I think it's worth saying, too, that everybody on the left in New York City doesn't think they're communists.

01:35:10.000 I don't know.

01:35:10.000 They think they're all fascists.

01:35:12.000 I know.

01:35:13.000 I'm going to say this.

01:35:14.000 You made the point.

01:35:16.000 They're having trouble recruiting because the reality is the good, God-fearing, conservative, Christian, or constitutionalists are refusing to join a communist police department.

01:35:26.000 Well, we've demoralized the NYPD, too.

01:35:28.000 I mean, I think that's a bigger part of it.

01:35:29.000 This was coming on the heels of the defund the police movement and seeing how when police actually enforce the law, the consequences that they have for enforcing the law, even when they're doing it correctly, that when there's trouble in the subway, they're going to have to think twice about whether or not to do anything because they don't want to get in trouble down the line.

01:35:43.000 So I think they're, again, being put in an impossible position and then being criticized from both sides.

01:35:48.000 And then when those lawyers were passing out Molotov cocktails, and someone firebombed an NYPD van, I think.

01:35:55.000 Multiple during that.

01:35:56.000 They get a slap on the wrist in a sweetheart deal, and the cops are told, nope.

01:35:59.000 So what I see is happening is, look, five years ago during the riots, I was defending the cops who were trying to stop the riots.

01:36:07.000 But it's pretty obvious what happened.

01:36:09.000 These cops started quitting.

01:36:11.000 We talked about this for the past a couple years afterwards of departments seeing massive, they were getting defunded and cops were quitting.

01:36:19.000 And what did we all say here?

01:36:20.000 They were replacing the good, you know, conservative constitutionalist cops with communists.

01:36:26.000 And that's what they have done.

01:36:27.000 So on the question of, will New York City cops flee to Florida?

01:36:31.000 Oh, of course not.

01:36:32.000 The ones that were going to flee fled a long time ago.

01:36:35.000 A quarter million people fled Manhattan during COVID.

01:36:38.000 I don't know that that's accurate because Mamdani, with the whole defund the police stuff, and if he is actually going to have policies that either shrink the department or limit the department's ability to enforce the law, there might be more people that actually resign and decide that they don't want to be a police officer in New York.

01:36:57.000 How many?

01:36:58.000 I don't know.

01:36:58.000 Will they go to Florida?

01:37:00.000 I don't know.

01:37:00.000 But I imagine he's not going to be popular with the police force.

01:37:03.000 And my point is that it's a small percentage of people that remain that hold those values.

01:37:09.000 If you stuck around through COVID and shut churches down, then why would you leave now?

01:37:14.000 When a communist comes in and says, hey, it's time to bring the boot down on people.

01:37:17.000 You'd be like, just like we did five years ago.

01:37:18.000 You got it, boss.

01:37:19.000 There's a whole slew of reasons why someone might leave now.

01:37:21.000 Maybe they couldn't leave before.

01:37:23.000 Maybe they had family ties.

01:37:24.000 Right.

01:37:25.000 That being the case, it's not about Zoran Mandani winning is the point.

01:37:30.000 If someone wanted to leave and they're saving up money to do so, it's irrelevant to Zoran Mandani's win.

01:37:35.000 My point is his policies, I don't think, will have a substantial impact on the NYPD because COVID already did.

01:37:43.000 Here's what I would tell you is the difference, and I'm not excusing what anybody did during the COVID panic, right?

01:37:47.000 And cops who enforced those draconian regulations were clearly wrong, right?

01:37:52.000 I mean, egregiously wrong, right?

01:37:54.000 In what they did.

01:37:55.000 However, you have to remember, there was a national almost psychosis because there was such a mass panic that was spread with seemingly authoritative voices leading a very compliant corporate media that all did it in concert.

01:38:08.000 Why?

01:38:08.000 Because they wanted to defeat Donald Trump.

01:38:09.000 It had nothing to do with public health, nothing to do with the virus.

01:38:12.000 It's because it was election year and they thought they could beat Trump.

01:38:14.000 So my point is, though, most cops were fooled.

01:38:17.000 Most cops were fooled by that mass psychosis.

01:38:20.000 And do you think communist regimes are any different?

01:38:23.000 Right.

01:38:23.000 But the point is we're not under mass psychosis now is my point.

01:38:26.000 And so given that, when Mandani comes in and says, I'm the newly elected Marxist mayor, not that I'll say it, but I'm the newly elected Marxist mayor of New York, I think the reaction is going to be entirely different now from the NYPD than it was in 2020.

01:38:39.000 And again, I'm not excusing them because they should have been more thoughtful, but the point is very few people were thoughtful during the lockdowns, right?

01:38:45.000 It took a lot of guts, a lot of thinking to stand up and say, all of this is wrong.

01:38:49.000 It's not based on science.

01:38:50.000 It's violating the Constitution.

01:38:51.000 And every communist revolution or fascistic takeover is going to be predicated upon some kind of disaster or emergency.

01:38:59.000 So if you are not cognizant of these things when you are outright defying the Constitution, I think, if you want to be literal as we can be, will NYC cops flee to Florida?

01:39:15.000 Yeah, sure.

01:39:15.000 But what could that be?

01:39:16.000 A couple dozen, maybe?

01:39:17.000 I don't know.

01:39:18.000 Would they go to Florida?

01:39:18.000 Maybe not Florida, but sure, some might leave.

01:39:21.000 My point is I think most of the cops of conscience left a long time ago.

01:39:25.000 That's a valid point.

01:39:27.000 When they were told shut down churches, they probably went, hell no. 1.00

01:39:30.000 Are you nuts? 1.00

01:39:31.000 That's crazy. 1.00

01:39:32.000 It's crazy.

01:39:33.000 People did.

01:39:34.000 Like, not only does it strike at the heart of this nation as to what the founding principles literally were, freedom of religion, it's the First Amendment, the right to peaceably assemble and worship as you see fit.

01:39:46.000 And Cuomo was like, I don't care.

01:39:48.000 I can do whatever I want.

01:39:49.000 It's an emergency.

01:39:50.000 And the cops were like, yeah, an emergency.

01:39:53.000 And then they went shut everything down.

01:39:55.000 That's New York.

01:39:56.000 An emergency.

01:39:57.000 That's right.

01:39:58.000 But let me know.

01:39:59.000 Let's talk about the other side of the equation then, of those churches, the pastors who acquiesced overwhelmingly, whether they wanted to or not, right?

01:40:06.000 There were very few brave cases.

01:40:07.000 There were some, but very few brave cases where they said, no, we're not shutting down and you can arrest me.

01:40:12.000 So, you know, do you believe that do you believe that all the priests and pastors are also communists?

01:40:16.000 Or again, does my theory make more sense that they were submitting, falsely submitting to a wealth of guns?

01:40:23.000 So in Venezuela, the reason the communists maintain power is because they go to the national.

01:40:30.000 First of all, starvation is a key component of how they maintain power.

01:40:33.000 They go to the National Guard and say, your family will starve or you can do as you're told.

01:40:37.000 And they say, yes, sir, I will not defy you.

01:40:40.000 Because they don't want their kids to starve.

01:40:42.000 They don't want to be homeless.

01:40:44.000 And so when the government says, shoot those teenagers who are protesting, they say, yes, sir.

01:40:48.000 The cops, exact same thing.

01:40:50.000 This is what evil is.

01:40:52.000 People believe that the deal with the devil was always going to be he'd offer you a rolls or a private jet and beautiful women. 0.99

01:41:00.000 Now the devil's going to come to you, grab you by the balls and say, I will take your children from you unless you serve me. 1.00

01:41:04.000 And they say, I will do anything you say. 0.99

01:41:07.000 So the idea that evil forces took over New York, San Francisco, Chicago, New Zealand, all these countries.

01:41:15.000 And I think we truly got to see who was willing to join the dark side and be evil.

01:41:22.000 And there's always going to be an excuse.

01:41:24.000 There's always going to be an internal justification for it.

01:41:27.000 And when the Bolsheviks wage their revolution, the cops are going to say, look, man, if we speak out, my kids are going to be left homeless and I'll do anything for my kids.

01:41:35.000 I will gladly serve the communists.

01:41:36.000 And that's literally what they did. 0.99

01:41:38.000 The priests, I don't really blame the people who have guns pointed at them when the villains are taking over with guns and saying, I will beat the crap. 1.00

01:41:46.000 I will destroy your life. 0.98

01:41:47.000 To be fair, though, I do think especially for men of the cloth, they absolutely should have said, you will not defy the Lord and kept those churches open. 0.97

01:41:58.000 And it does say a lot when they're like, a handful of guys have threatened me and my faith and my flock, and I will acquiesce.

01:42:05.000 That's insane to me.

01:42:06.000 Absolutely insane.

01:42:08.000 You'd think of all the groups, they'd be like, like, our law supersedes yours.

01:42:13.000 And we're backed by the Constitution as it is.

01:42:16.000 And, you know, you make a good point.

01:42:17.000 A lot of these guys were just like, okay, no more church.

01:42:19.000 That's insane.

01:42:20.000 Not to mention, a lot of these churches are flying pride flags anyway.

01:42:23.000 So are they really churches?

01:42:25.000 They're not really churches, yeah.

01:42:26.000 Right.

01:42:26.000 Only Catholic presenting churches.

01:42:28.000 Yep.

01:42:29.000 All right, everybody.

01:42:30.000 We're going to go to your chats and messages.

01:42:32.000 So smash the like button.

01:42:49.000 And this Saturday, oh boy, Michael Malice, Angry Cops, debating police.

01:42:54.000 This conversation we're having, oh, it's going to get crazy.

01:42:56.000 Michael Malice, of course, he's pro-Trump, but he's an anarchist.

01:42:59.000 And so he's talked about how cops, I'm going to ruin his quote, but he said, there is no law so depraved that a police officer would not enforce it up to and including the killing of children.

01:43:08.000 That's Michael Malice.

01:43:09.000 He will be debating Angry Cops, Richard High, who is in fact a cop.

01:43:13.000 And they're both hilarious, and they're going to laugh, and they're going to get along, but it's going to be funny as funny can be.

01:43:20.000 And I think we just about sold out.

01:43:21.000 You can try and get tickets, but I think we've got a, it's like 180 something so far, and there's like 20 tickets left, perhaps.

01:43:28.000 I recommend you buy them at the DC Comedy Love now.

01:43:31.000 And if you remember, the members had an after-party last time.

01:43:34.000 Our official after party is in the 9th.

01:43:36.000 So at the 9th, we're having a bar event with like two drinks per person.

01:43:41.000 And, you know, but get those tickets and let's read your chats.

01:43:45.000 See what you guys got going on.

01:43:48.000 All right.

01:43:49.000 D42 says Elad is missing local Bolton Bro for his intro.

01:43:55.000 That's not a bad idea.

01:43:57.000 I used to do resident neocon, Jewish affairs correspondent.

01:44:02.000 We could add to the list.

01:44:03.000 There's a lot going on.

01:44:04.000 I like White House correspondent, though.

01:44:06.000 I feel like you want to lead with your strong foot, right?

01:44:10.000 T. Butterbow says, Last episode, Cartman was sad.

01:44:12.000 Woke was dead.

01:44:13.000 Butter said it still exists.

01:44:15.000 Enter Charlie Kirk debating woke students on college campuses.

01:44:19.000 I mean, I'll say it again.

01:44:22.000 When you are being mocked by a show like South Park, Family Guy, The Simpsons, it's when you are at the top of cultural relevance.

01:44:30.000 So when they're mocking Charlie Kirk, all that matters is everybody knows his name.

01:44:36.000 So, you know, I was talking to Sean earlier and he was like, they're going to make fun of you, Tim.

01:44:40.000 And I was like, no, they're not because we're not widely known enough for a joke to land.

01:44:45.000 The Charlie Kirk Cartman, a lot of people are going to be like, oh, like those videos I see from the colleges.

01:44:49.000 Yeah, I know who that guy is.

01:44:51.000 Plus the memes and all that.

01:44:53.000 Charlie's the most prominent conservative right now in the United States, I think.

01:44:56.000 Charlie Kirk is a potent political force.

01:45:00.000 I predict he will eventually run for president and maybe succeed in that.

01:45:04.000 Maybe, but I don't know.

01:45:06.000 He comes off more as a CEO type, I think.

01:45:12.000 He's only 31.

01:45:12.000 Give it a couple of decades, you know?

01:45:14.000 Like, he's still so young.

01:45:15.000 People start their political careers at 360.

01:45:18.000 I think it's more likely he ends up as some kind of right-wing version of a Soros type guy.

01:45:23.000 Like a powerful person.

01:45:24.000 He's got money to do that.

01:45:25.000 I don't know if he's.

01:45:26.000 Yes, he's only 31.

01:45:27.000 Give him some decades.

01:45:28.000 Okay, hey.

01:45:28.000 Hey, hey, hold on.

01:45:30.000 Charlie's got money.

01:45:31.000 And he's a young guy with massive success at a very young age, running one of the biggest political organizations in the world now.

01:45:40.000 And I think he's the most powerful person politically in the United States.

01:45:43.000 If it's between him being Gosoros or a presidential candidate, it seems like Charlie Kirk has a bright future, so we think.

01:45:49.000 And obviously, I'm talking outside of politics, in media spaces and political campaigning, I think Charlie is at the top.

01:45:54.000 And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's like a pyramid where it's him and there's nobody else.

01:45:58.000 It's, you know, it's a mound.

01:46:00.000 But when you compare him to everybody else, Charlie's, look at Turning Point's yearly event in Phoenix.

01:46:07.000 Absolutely insane how massive this is.

01:46:09.000 Well, it's not only just him as like a political influencer.

01:46:13.000 As you mentioned, it's Turning Point USA.

01:46:15.000 It's Turning Point Action.

01:46:16.000 It's hiring a lot of effective political voices on the right.

01:46:22.000 He has this inside-outside game where he has a lot of great relationships with people inside Congress, inside the administration, and has a foot on the outside too.

01:46:31.000 So I think this guy's a force to be reckoned with, especially down in the future.

01:46:35.000 All right. 0.99

01:46:36.000 P. Supi says, it would have been hilarious if South Park had a clip of Shrimp censored Trump, shrimp dick, doing things to himself, watching a video of himself getting shot. 0.99

01:46:45.000 Like, come on, South Park. 0.99

01:46:47.000 I mean, come on.

01:46:48.000 There's so many jokes they could have made.

01:46:50.000 And it's funny that the liberals are like, haha, the conservatives are mad.

01:46:53.000 Like, the conservatives that are mad are mad because they're not doing it good enough.

01:46:57.000 Like, make fun of Trump better. 1.00

01:46:59.000 Just saying he's fat with a tiny wiener is lazy. 1.00

01:47:02.000 Man. 0.99

01:47:04.000 I was saying they should have done the Epstein escape heist where they break him out of prison.

01:47:07.000 And then Trump and him have a secret handshake because they're good friends.

01:47:10.000 They could have done so much of that.

01:47:12.000 They didn't do any of it.

01:47:13.000 Yeah, Trump and Epstein's secret handshake.

01:47:15.000 Come on.

01:47:15.000 And he's like, I'll get you out of here, Betty.

01:47:18.000 And they should have done an actual Trump voice.

01:47:20.000 Didn't they do a whole season dedicated to Trump with Mr. Garrison?

01:47:24.000 It was 10 years non-stop of them talking about Trump. 1.00

01:47:27.000 And all they can do is be like, he's got a small dick, I guess. 0.99

01:47:30.000 Well, and I think it's telling that in general, I think South Park is really funny. 0.99

01:47:34.000 So the fact that they're not funny with Trump tells me that they can't sort of check their ideology.

01:47:39.000 In other words, they're so blinded by their disdain for him that they stop being creative.

01:47:48.000 I don't think they hate Trump at all.

01:47:49.000 They're libertarians.

01:47:50.000 I think they're probably Like the cops?

01:47:52.000 I think they're just like, we don't really know how to...

01:47:56.000 We make fun of the president, I guess.

01:47:57.000 And they don't really know how to do it in a meaningful way. 0.99

01:48:01.000 So they're like, just idiocracy level, out my balls. 0.97

01:48:04.000 I won't be surprised if the next episode he just gets hitting the grow with the football. 0.99

01:48:08.000 Right. 0.99

01:48:08.000 See, it's fucking work on us. 0.99

01:48:09.000 You know what I mean? 0.99

01:48:10.000 But it's lowbrow.

01:48:11.000 I'm saying, like, as a political junkie, I want to see Trump.

01:48:15.000 I want to see a flashback where he, like, this is the joke I made.

01:48:18.000 Tulsi Gabbard, Trump, and like Rubio are breaking into the prison to break him out of jail in 2019.

01:48:24.000 And he's like, all right, take the cameras out.

01:48:26.000 And they hack the cameras and the cameras go down because the cameras were down.

01:48:28.000 And then he has a ball and he rolls it towards security guards and gas knocks him out because the guards fell asleep.

01:48:33.000 And then they go and they smuggle him out.

01:48:35.000 And then they go to a secret lair where they do their secret handshake because Trump and Epstein were friends the whole time.

01:48:40.000 It would have been hilarious.

01:48:41.000 I'd have been laughing at it.

01:48:42.000 I'd have been like, that was good. 0.99

01:48:44.000 Instead, they were like, he's gay and like Satan. 0.99

01:48:46.000 And I was like, okay, well, you know, like mocking gay people like that, I guess. 1.00

01:48:50.000 It's not really my jam. 0.82

01:48:51.000 Conservatives, I guess, are really happy with their bent.

01:48:54.000 You know, whatever.

01:48:56.000 South Park's been ragging on trans people. 0.99

01:48:58.000 Now they're saying being gay is like Satan. 0.98

01:49:00.000 You know, I don't know. 0.98

01:49:01.000 I mean, like you said, the actual jokes they made with the whole Trump sleeping with Satan.

01:49:07.000 It's like that is rehashed.

01:49:09.000 And it's like, eh, they are better than that.

01:49:12.000 You know what?

01:49:12.000 They did it first with Hitler, though.

01:49:14.000 So that may be where they're going with that.

01:49:16.000 I mean, Saddam. 0.88

01:49:16.000 Saddam? 0.88

01:49:17.000 Yeah.

01:49:17.000 Oh, maybe it was.

01:49:18.000 Saddam Hussein.

01:49:18.000 Yeah, it was Saddam.

01:49:19.000 So they're doing Trump identically as Saddam Hussein.

01:49:22.000 And Satan even says, you're like this last guard that I dated.

01:49:25.000 And it's like, okay.

01:49:28.000 It's crazy how Jack.

01:49:30.000 Well, you know what?

01:49:31.000 Saddam is a bloodthirsty dictator who, like, you know, called people. 0.89

01:49:35.000 He had this one famous clip of him doing this announcement and saying, you guys need to tell me you're guilty. 0.86

01:49:39.000 And then he just started killing random people in the room in his government.

01:49:41.000 But I wonder he murdered everybody that didn't support him.

01:49:45.000 I wonder if what's going on in South Park is not so much they're like, go after Trump.

01:49:48.000 It's that, I said it before, I said again, they're remaking Scrubs, they're remaking King of the Hill, they're remaking, what's the Malcolm in the Middle.

01:49:56.000 Brett was saying maybe married with children.

01:49:58.000 They're rebooting all these shows because people just want nostalgia bait.

01:50:03.000 They made Happy Gilmore 2.

01:50:05.000 It was not good.

01:50:05.000 It was just nostalgia bait.

01:50:07.000 Guys, it wasn't good.

01:50:08.000 Everyone's like, no, it was really good.

01:50:09.000 No, it wasn't.

01:50:10.000 It was just that you got to, they literally just did flashbacks to the first movie.

01:50:13.000 I'm not kidding.

01:50:14.000 He literally shows, like Adam Sandler goes, I'm not going to work with a guy who eats pieces of ish for breakfast. 0.81

01:50:20.000 And then it flashes back to the first movie.

01:50:22.000 And I'm like, that's just the same joke.

01:50:25.000 But it was fun because it was like, hey, I remember the 90s.

01:50:28.000 And that's what South Park's doing right now With Saddam. 0.99

01:50:30.000 They're like, hey, remember the 90s?

01:50:31.000 Saddam Hussein?

01:50:32.000 Woohoo! 1.00

01:50:33.000 It's funny.

01:50:34.000 Memberberries.

01:50:34.000 The funny thing is, South Park's got all these memes, including Member Berries.

01:50:37.000 Did you guys know this one?

01:50:38.000 South Park, an episode where it was the Berries being like, remember this?

01:50:41.000 Member that?

01:50:42.000 And they were making fun of this nostalgia bait.

01:50:44.000 Now South Park's just doing it for $30 million an episode.

01:50:48.000 Hey, I'd probably do it too.

01:50:49.000 Hey, I'll tell you what, CBS, you pay me 30 million bucks.

01:50:52.000 I will make really good episodes making fun of Trump.

01:50:54.000 They will be funny.

01:50:55.000 Where would you go?

01:50:56.000 I would go to Putin, right?

01:50:58.000 I mean, if you want to be smart and funny, right?

01:51:00.000 Run with that theme that he's somehow Putin's, you know, whipping boy, which, of course, is absurd.

01:51:05.000 You'd be funny with that.

01:51:06.000 I think the Epstein stuff, like I was saying.

01:51:08.000 Oh, you know, Epstein, yeah.

01:51:09.000 Well, the thing about Putin is that it's old.

01:51:10.000 And so the modern thing right now is Epstein.

01:51:12.000 And the conspiracy theory is that the cameras went down, or not conspiracy, but the reports where the cameras were down, the guards fell asleep.

01:51:17.000 And I'm like, so explain that with Trump breaking Epstein out of jail.

01:51:21.000 And then you have the press asking Trump about Epstein.

01:51:24.000 He panics and says, we don't want to talk about this.

01:51:26.000 Why is it a fake?

01:51:27.000 It's a hoax.

01:51:28.000 He runs away, goes into a secret elevator where he's in an underground lab where his buddy Epstein is still alive.

01:51:33.000 And they do the secret handshake.

01:51:35.000 And then they go, boom, baby.

01:51:36.000 Yeah, which is a callback to South Park.

01:51:39.000 Yep.

01:51:39.000 They could have done all that stuff.

01:51:40.000 Instead, they're like, let's just, I don't know, have him.

01:51:42.000 The thing about the episode was that there was no plot.

01:51:45.000 It's just Trump walking around and then random things were happening.

01:51:48.000 And I was like, that's fine.

01:51:50.000 But like, liberals are all cheering for it.

01:51:51.000 And it's like, is it just Colbert all over again?

01:51:54.000 It's just, you know, but hey, for $30 million, absolutely, what are you going to do, right?

01:51:57.000 All right, let's go.

01:51:58.000 A.K. Storm says, Tim, you talked about the right not driving the narrative, but cover viral stories.

01:52:02.000 How would you drive the narrative if you owned Fox?

01:52:04.000 And why don't you do it with your shows?

01:52:06.000 I love all the shows.

01:52:07.000 We do.

01:52:08.000 You'll notice that these like biased fact-checker sites are like Tim Pool's conservative because we tend to stick to narratives that are not led or pushed by the left.

01:52:19.000 That's the point.

01:52:20.000 So what I mean is, and it's not something we've seen recently.

01:52:24.000 For a long time, the left would drive, they would choose.

01:52:27.000 The New York Times would publish a story and it was just considered fact.

01:52:30.000 Not anymore.

01:52:32.000 Not anymore.

01:52:33.000 Now the New York Times is desperately trying to say the ObamaGate stuff isn't real and the narrative is being driven by Trump and Tulsi Gabbard.

01:52:39.000 When the Epstein stuff happened, the media very much cared about it, as we all did, and Trump launched a ton of stuff.

01:52:45.000 Now we've got a story.

01:52:46.000 We didn't even get to it, that a meteor is going to slam into the moon and blow it up by 2032.

01:52:50.000 Do you guys see this story?

01:52:52.000 I'm not kidding.

01:52:54.000 I didn't know that it was 2022.

01:52:55.000 Seven years?

01:52:55.000 That's it.

01:52:56.000 Potential asteroid impact on moon in 2032 could trigger massive meteor shower on Earth.

01:53:00.000 Oh, Yvette, I need to get married.

01:53:03.000 Children before that.

01:53:05.000 Why?

01:53:06.000 Then we got to blow it up, right?

01:53:08.000 My daughter is going to be seven years old when rocks are raining down, destroying everything and wiping out civilization.

01:53:14.000 Hopefully they go into the Pacific Ocean.

01:53:16.000 I guess.

01:53:17.000 Even that would screw us up.

01:53:18.000 Depends on the size.

01:53:19.000 What if it just blows the moon?

01:53:20.000 It's going to be like Independence Day.

01:53:21.000 America's going to take care of it. 1.00

01:53:22.000 We're going to go blow it up if we need to.

01:53:24.000 Blow up the moon?

01:53:25.000 Well, no, blow up the meteors before they.

01:53:26.000 We're going to do Star Wars for the moon.

01:53:28.000 Deep impact.

01:53:29.000 We're going to get a mining team to train to be astronauts instead of getting astronauts to training. 0.99

01:53:33.000 Oil rig drillers.

01:53:34.000 Ben Affleck apparently asked the director, he was like, wouldn't it be easier to get a bunch of astronauts to train to be, to do mining instead of getting miners to train to be astronauts? 0.96

01:53:41.000 And he said, shut the F up.

01:53:44.000 It's like, we're making a movie here, man. 0.99

01:53:47.000 Don't do rewrites.

01:53:48.000 All right.

01:53:48.000 Arcadian Twilight says, perhaps it's time to mock South Park and Might Media and other large evil corporations in the way South Park used to.

01:53:56.000 Well, I'll tell you this.

01:53:57.000 I don't think South Park's ratings are as high as they used to be.

01:54:03.000 Nobody's ratings are that high.

01:54:05.000 And of the past, you know, like in four years, they did, I think, three episodes per year and they did a handful of specials.

01:54:12.000 And their viewership is probably good, maybe a million or two, but it's probably leaning slightly older.

01:54:20.000 Let me ask you guys, do you think Gen Z watches South Park?

01:54:22.000 No.

01:54:23.000 No.

01:54:23.000 We don't have any Gen Zers in here today, but I think the answer is probably no.

01:54:26.000 Probably not.

01:54:27.000 Dude, I got to be honest.

01:54:28.000 They do a lot of scrolling on.

01:54:30.000 I don't watch Simpsons.

01:54:31.000 Yeah.

01:54:31.000 You know what I mean?

01:54:32.000 I don't watch South Park that much.

01:54:33.000 They don't watch television, period, right?

01:54:35.000 I mean, just no linear TV for Gen Z. South Park, I got to say, I assume is targeting 40 plus.

01:54:44.000 So it's better than Colbert.

01:54:46.000 Because I'll say this, if you're at CBS and you're looking at one whole NBA every year on Colbert, think about your three to five year plan for your investment.

01:54:55.000 And you're going to be like, where are we at in three to five years with 40 million a year?

01:54:59.000 Negative.

01:55:00.000 The audience will be dead.

01:55:01.000 It's like, okay, we'll cancel it now before it's too late.

01:55:04.000 Then we're going to be losing $100 million a year.

01:55:08.000 All right, what do we got here?

01:55:11.000 Secession now says anybody who supports Israel is supporting the synagogue of Satan. 0.99

01:55:15.000 May anybody who vacations in Gaza in the next 30 years burn in hell. 1.00

01:55:19.000 Vacation in Gaza? 0.86

01:55:20.000 Who's doing that?

01:55:22.000 I don't think anyone will be vacationing in Gaza.

01:55:25.000 Yeah, I don't know what that means.

01:55:26.000 Everything has been blown up in Gaza. 0.94

01:55:29.000 So I don't think that there are a lot of people that are going to be like, I want to go to Gaza to vacation.

01:55:34.000 Vacant Stair says, I was very pro-Israel defending them in my personal life.

01:55:38.000 That was until they attacked Iran and ran to Daddy Trump. 0.83

01:55:41.000 They were willing to risk World War III and American lives.

01:55:44.000 That's where you drew the line?

01:55:46.000 I mean, there could have been so many other things.

01:55:50.000 Randolph Shaw says Israel is the greatest ally of the American Empire and the greatest liability to the American Republic.

01:55:56.000 Wow.

01:56:00.000 Yeah, I think the sentiment is going south.

01:56:04.000 I think it's definitely becoming a partisan issue.

01:56:07.000 I think this is very significant on the left.

01:56:10.000 I think its impact on the Republican Party and on the right is a bit overstated.

01:56:16.000 I will say, though, we just had our first Republican congresswoman, a Republican in Congress, call it a genocide, and that's Marjorie Taylor Green. 1.00

01:56:23.000 She recently came out and described what Israel is a genocide.

01:56:27.000 And she is one of 10 lawmakers.

01:56:29.000 All the other ones are far left progressive.

01:56:31.000 The evidence is that it's about generation, not about political affiliation.

01:56:38.000 Young people are not pro-Israel. 0.91

01:56:41.000 Gen Z is not pro-Israel. 0.50

01:56:43.000 And so it's not specifically about Republicans or Democrats.

01:56:46.000 Average Americans are not pro-Israel.

01:56:48.000 What was that?

01:56:48.000 The average American is not pro-Israel.

01:56:51.000 Yeah, apparently.

01:56:52.000 I think the median American voter is not.

01:56:54.000 I mean, this is literally just the PU data that I pulled up before.

01:56:56.000 I think the median American voter is pro-Israel.

01:57:00.000 That's only because most people.

01:57:01.000 I think I can explain that generational shift.

01:57:03.000 I think it's because older people had this reservoir of pro-Israel sentiment from decades of the United States and Israel being so close.

01:57:10.000 However, for young people who are new to the situation, I think they see Netanyahu and they properly see in him somebody that we cannot trust.

01:57:18.000 Because Netanyahu has been trying to get America to intervene in the Middle East for decades, and at times through just grossly wrong analysis, you know, all the way back to the Iraq war, right?

01:57:28.000 Where he promised that he and Israel corroborated that there were weapons of mass destruction.

01:57:32.000 I mean, this is 20 plus years ago that he did that in the United States, and he was very effective at that propaganda campaign.

01:57:39.000 He has been wrong for decades.

01:57:41.000 He has constantly harangued the United States and enticed the United States into fighting on behalf of Israel and into aiding Israel.

01:57:47.000 Again, they're our friend and ally, but it doesn't mean that it has to be our money.

01:57:51.000 Certainly doesn't mean that it has to be our troops invading.

01:57:53.000 And I think young people see the failings of Netanyahu, and to them, that makes them extremely skeptical of Israel because they have none of that reservoir that older people do.

01:58:02.000 All right.

01:58:03.000 Unit unit says, what was the story arc that had the character chef leave South Park?

01:58:07.000 I think shows like South Park and Simpsons know more than they're letting on.

01:58:11.000 Family guy, Seth McFarlane has made several comments on the show and in private that he knew what was going on with Weinstein, Weinstein, whatever his name is.

01:58:20.000 I don't know how to pronounce it.

01:58:21.000 And as well as Kevin Spacey.

01:58:23.000 There's a joke where Stewie is running through the mall screaming, help, help, I've escaped from Kevin Spacey's basement.

01:58:28.000 And he's, there were like comedy events he did where he made passive comments and everyone's like, Seth McFarland knew what was going on in Hollywood and just didn't say anything.

01:58:37.000 As for Chef, he's a Scientologist.

01:58:38.000 And the story was that when South Park mocked Scientology, it was the Super Adventure Club, I think it was called.

01:58:47.000 And they traveled to the jungle to do, you know, to bang kids to steal their life energy or whatever. 0.97

01:58:55.000 The episode was, they made fun of South Park.

01:58:57.000 I'm sorry, Scientology.

01:58:58.000 Chef's a Scientologist.

01:58:59.000 He got offended.

01:59:00.000 They said, we make fun of everybody.

01:59:02.000 You're not special.

01:59:02.000 So he quit.

01:59:03.000 But because they owned the rights to everything he's ever said on the show, they had him join the Super Adventure Club, which was crazy.

01:59:11.000 And all of his lines were a hodgepodge of various lines he said in different episodes.

01:59:15.000 So it was intentionally sounding weird and didn't make sense.

01:59:19.000 That was the bit they did.

01:59:20.000 And then he dies and becomes Darth Vader.

01:59:23.000 Yeah.

01:59:24.000 Yeah.

01:59:26.000 Let's see.

01:59:26.000 What do we got here?

01:59:28.000 Cyborg Actual says, a lot is wrong.

01:59:30.000 I'm a Catholic, and I can tell you that most Catholics are staunchly pro-life.

01:59:33.000 I think you can't be a Catholic and pro-choice.

01:59:36.000 Okay, so I don't know.

01:59:37.000 It depends on, again, how you define Catholic, but in our country, some of the most prominent Democrats over the past decade have been Catholics, and they've been pro-choice.

01:59:46.000 Also, some of our most prominent Democrats are men who say they're women as well.

01:59:49.000 So there's a is, and then there is a thinks.

01:59:53.000 According to polling, people who identify as women, Catholics, sometimes men, right, I get it. 0.98

01:59:59.000 Are more likely to identify as pro-choice than not.

02:00:03.000 And the point is, there are also men who claim they're women.

02:00:08.000 So you can defy scripture and teachings and all of that and then be like, yeah, but I am Catholic.

02:00:13.000 It's like, okay, well, you're not.

02:00:14.000 Yeah, but then it's not me judging your religion.

02:00:16.000 And if I tell somebody they are or aren't a Catholic, I'm sure I'll hear an earful as well.

02:00:20.000 So look at the bright side.

02:00:23.000 You're going to hear an earful no matter what you say.

02:00:26.000 So just go ahead and say what you believe.

02:00:28.000 But again, there's a massive split between practicing Catholics and cultural Catholics.

02:00:32.000 Practicing Catholics are overwhelmingly pro-life.

02:00:34.000 But you're correct.

02:00:35.000 If you lump everybody together, which almost all polling does, and just says, what do you identify as, then Catholics are actually pro-abortion. 0.60

02:00:42.000 If they go to their female-led church with pride flags hanging from the wall and they pray to a non-binary Jesus. 0.73

02:00:49.000 I'm not trying to make a political statement here, but there are a lot of Catholics heavily involved with many of these progressive causes.

02:00:56.000 Right, but do you understand what we're saying?

02:00:58.000 Yeah.

02:01:06.000 I don't want to start making these slurs for different religions and stuff.

02:01:09.000 Right, but I'm not saying that.

02:01:11.000 When a distinction without a difference is kind of my point.

02:01:14.000 I'm going to go ahead and say I don't believe that if like a guy puts on a dress, he's not a woman, sorry. 0.88

02:01:23.000 A Catholic, a pro-life liberal says, I'm Catholic.

02:01:26.000 Sorry, you're just wearing a skin suit and claiming you're Catholic. 1.00

02:01:29.000 You can't hang pride flags in your church with a female priest and be like, I'm Catholic. 0.72

02:01:33.000 No, you're not.

02:01:34.000 You're something else.

02:01:35.000 You're just stealing the word.

02:01:37.000 Right.

02:01:37.000 You're just taking the word.

02:01:39.000 Right.

02:01:40.000 For you Catholics to decide, not me. 0.84

02:01:42.000 So.

02:01:43.000 You think they're a pro-choice Orthodox?

02:01:46.000 Not Orthodox, but reform for sure.

02:01:49.000 All right, let's get one more in here. 0.96

02:01:51.000 What do we got here?

02:01:54.000 Glorified Andy Man says, sorry, update 8.7 magnitude earthquake off east coast of Russia, Hawaii and Alaska, and the tsunami warning.

02:02:00.000 The first wave is hitting 7 p.m.

02:02:02.000 Hawaiian time.

02:02:03.000 I'm in the Coast Guard.

02:02:04.000 My unit is evacuating.

02:02:05.000 Wow.

02:02:09.000 Random Trader says Wesley Lepatner, a senior executive at Blackstone and CEO of the Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, was killed in a mass shooting at the company's Manhattan headquarters on July 20th, 2025.

02:02:19.000 Indeed.

02:02:21.000 Yep.

02:02:22.000 Yeah, there's a lot of communists that are celebrating that because she was a CEO. 0.98

02:02:26.000 Clayton A says, what are the chances Tim gets featured in a South Park episode if this theme continues on?

02:02:31.000 If they have me on South Park and I'm just saying, guys, make fun of everybody, make fun of me, make fun of Charlie, make fun of Trump with good jokes.

02:02:41.000 Like, okay, I guess.

02:02:42.000 They'd do Russia stuff if they did you.

02:02:43.000 Come on.

02:02:44.000 That's what they'd do.

02:02:45.000 Or Jewish stuff.

02:02:47.000 No, they wouldn't give you Jewish stuff.

02:02:48.000 Come on.

02:02:49.000 They have enough Jewish stuff on the show already. 0.99

02:02:50.000 Maybe Russia stuff.

02:02:51.000 Probably it would be Russia stuff.

02:02:52.000 I did that with Matan over the weekend, the Russia thing.

02:02:58.000 He put a Russian flag behind you, too.

02:02:59.000 He did.

02:03:00.000 It was funny.

02:03:01.000 And he titled it Confronting Tim Poole on Taking Money for Russia Propaganda or whatever.

02:03:05.000 That was fun.

02:03:05.000 That guy's hilarious, man.

02:03:06.000 I like that guy.

02:03:07.000 He's great.

02:03:08.000 He was at our culture war event.

02:03:09.000 He's very, very funny.

02:03:10.000 And he helped make the show.

02:03:12.000 But, you know, I want to say one thing, too, before we go to the uncensored.

02:03:15.000 All these people show up and they're screaming at Pisco Liddy, the liberal lawyer who is defending Democrats and all that.

02:03:22.000 And some people were like, why are you here?

02:03:23.000 Why are you even talking?

02:03:24.000 Rah.

02:03:24.000 And it's like, we invited him to debate, and he did.

02:03:29.000 And he debated a lot, and we appreciate that he did because liberals are so scared of coming to these shows.

02:03:35.000 And I'm like, I don't understand why anybody was mad that he was there when this was the point of the show.

02:03:40.000 And we're going to have him back because he's a liberal willing to defend his positions and argue and debate with conservatives.

02:03:45.000 And it's a good thing.

02:03:46.000 But none of that next week.

02:03:49.000 We have a pretty big liberal who may be joining us, like big following, but we don't know which date she will be on.

02:03:56.000 I think it'll be better if she comes this Saturday because we have more space for it because it's only four of us right now.

02:04:02.000 But we'll see.

02:04:03.000 It's going to be a lot of fun.

02:04:04.000 My friends, smash that like button, share the show if you really do like it.

02:04:07.000 We're going to go to rumble.com slash Timcast IRL for the uncensored portion of the show.

02:04:12.000 Again, follow me on accident Instagram at Timcast.

02:04:14.000 Steve, do you want to shout anything out?

02:04:23.000 I am Alad Eliyahu, White House correspondent and field reporter here at Timcast.

02:04:27.000 Recently, I've been doing some of the most thrilling work in my career, and that has been watching ICE and Border Patrol detain illegal aliens outside of these New York City courts.

02:04:37.000 You could go check that out on my Twitter and Instagram at Alad Eliyahu.

02:04:41.000 Phil?

02:04:42.000 I am Phil That Remains on Twix.

02:04:44.000 The band is all that remains.

02:04:45.000 You can check out a new album called Anti-Fragile on Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, Spotify, Deezer, and YouTube.

02:04:52.000 Don't forget, the left lane is for crime.

02:04:55.000 We will see you all at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL in about 30 seconds.

02:04:59.000 Thanks for hanging out.

02:06:19.000 Ladies and gentlemen, while the crew are out dilly-dallying about, usually, you know, everyone takes a quick potty break.

02:06:25.000 The 8.7 has been upgraded to a magnitude 8.8.

02:06:30.000 Holy crap.

02:06:31.000 This is officially putting it at the 8th tide for the 6th and 7th.

02:06:37.000 So there's now three 8.8s on record, 1906, 2010, and 2025.

02:06:42.000 This would make it, wow.

02:06:46.000 Tide for 6th, 7th, and 8th.

02:06:50.000 Knocking Sumatra off the map.

02:06:53.000 Bye-bye, Sumatra. 1.00

02:06:56.000 Holy shit. 1.00

02:06:58.000 It's funny. 0.99

02:06:59.000 Someone commented because a tenth of a point makes a huge difference in magnitude, I guess. 0.98

02:07:03.000 Yeah, it literally fucking does. 0.95

02:07:05.000 It's exponential, right? 0.98

02:07:07.000 Yeah.

02:07:08.000 Or logarithmic.

02:07:10.000 Here you go.

02:07:11.000 The Richter scale.

02:07:13.000 This is a very shitty image.

02:07:14.000 Can you pull that up?

02:07:16.000 So when you're going from 8.7, 8.8, you're making a tremendous leap in power.

02:07:22.000 Like billions of kilograms. 0.99

02:07:25.000 Fucking crazy. 0.98

02:07:26.000 It's at 8.8 now. 0.99

02:07:28.000 Wow.

02:07:29.000 Yep. 0.99

02:07:30.000 So I'm going to keep tracking this because holy shit. 0.99

02:07:36.000 That means Hawaii is going to get slammed, right? 0.99

02:07:40.000 Apparently we've got some video of it.

02:07:42.000 I'm going to pull this up.

02:07:42.000 I don't know if this video is actually of the earthquakes right now, but...

02:07:47.000 Yikes.

02:07:54.000 Wow.

02:07:55.000 I've been in a couple earthquakes.

02:07:58.000 I was in like a five.

02:08:00.000 I was in Virginia.

02:08:01.000 When was this, like 2011?

02:08:04.000 So that's Russia. 0.81

02:08:05.000 Wow.

02:08:06.000 Terrifying.

02:08:07.000 Wow. 1.00

02:08:12.000 No shit. 1.00

02:08:13.000 Wow. 1.00

02:08:14.000 The 2011 Virginia earthquake.

02:08:16.000 I remember that.

02:08:17.000 We were hanging out in my friend's living room, and we were all kind of feeling like we were shaking.

02:08:24.000 And we were like, that's kind of weird.

02:08:26.000 What?

02:08:27.000 And I looked at a cup on the table and it was vibrating.

02:08:29.000 And I was like, is this an earthquake?

02:08:32.000 It was kind of weird.

02:08:34.000 And then within like a minute, it was over.

02:08:36.000 And then we checked on the news and they were like, earthquake.

02:08:37.000 It was a 5.8.

02:08:39.000 Did you see that?

02:08:39.000 And then people, we're getting attacked or earthquake.

02:08:44.000 That's it?

02:08:45.000 Because it's weird because when you live in the city in like Chicago and a tractor trailer will drive down the street, the building might shake.

02:08:52.000 So I was like, this just feels like a truck drove by and like the building shook a little bit.

02:08:57.000 I've been in one earthquake in New York City, I think it was almost a decade ago.

02:09:02.000 And in New York, we don't expect them.

02:09:05.000 And it woke me up. 0.99

02:09:06.000 And I remember thinking, holy shit, we're under attack. 0.99

02:09:09.000 I was fearful, afraid for my life. 0.99

02:09:11.000 And then I stood up.

02:09:12.000 My bed was shaking.

02:09:14.000 It wasn't even too extreme, but extremely nerve-wracking, of course.

02:09:19.000 Yeah.

02:09:19.000 Is this...

02:09:24.000 Especially if you're not living in areas where they're...

02:09:27.000 Is that right?

02:09:29.000 0328, this wrong?

02:09:31.000 This is an old video.

02:09:32.000 2025, 03.

02:09:33.000 Oh, yeah.

02:09:34.000 It was like March 28th.

02:09:35.000 Yeah, that was the other Russian one, I think.

02:09:38.000 Yeah, you know, I just...

02:09:42.000 Whoa.

02:09:44.000 They're saying the tsunami will hit the west coast.

02:09:47.000 Yeah.

02:09:47.000 It will.

02:09:48.000 There are buoys that are in the Pacific that have registered the tsunami?

02:09:52.000 Yeah.

02:09:53.000 So they're saying in Monterey at 12.15 a.m.

02:09:56.000 Pacific, you will get hit with a tsunami.

02:09:58.000 San Francisco at 12.40 a.m., you will get hit with a tsunami.

02:10:01.000 LA at 1.05 a.m. and Oceanside at 1.15, you will get hit with a tsunami. 0.99

02:10:07.000 Holy shit, dude. 0.97

02:10:09.000 When I was in Japan, like the first, obviously the earthquake was really crazy to experience. 0.98

02:10:16.000 But then the weirdest part is for some reason we had a day off the day after.

02:10:22.000 So Tokyo was the last show.

02:10:24.000 And instead of usually we just jump right on a plane and fly home.

02:10:26.000 But for some reason, we had a day off and we were hanging out and there was nothing really to do because everything was kind of closed down and people were kind of, you know, absorbing or whatever, getting used to it or whatever.

02:10:38.000 And it felt like the ground was unstable.

02:10:44.000 There were always aftershocks going on, but basically everyone in the band decided to put a, in their individual hotel rooms, they'd put a glass of a cup of water out because you weren't really sure if you were feeling aftershocks or not.

02:10:57.000 So you kind of would just like look at the glass because everything kind of felt, you know, like weird.

02:11:02.000 It felt like there was always some kind of, you know, shaking going on.

02:11:06.000 So it was real crazy.

02:11:07.000 And there was real, like we were in the airport and there was an aftershock and all of the fixtures and stuff were all shaking around and stuff.

02:11:13.000 So at least like when you talk about the evacuation and stuff, I'm guessing that the Japanese being culturally how they are, I bet they were super orderly and polite about it.

02:11:20.000 If it was America, look out, right? 0.87

02:11:23.000 Yeah, I know.

02:11:24.000 Yeah, except when the earthquake happened, they lied about it over and over again because of their honor culture.

02:11:29.000 They didn't want to be dishonored.

02:11:30.000 So they just said, nothing's happening, everyone can go away.

02:11:32.000 And it was getting worse the whole time.

02:11:34.000 And if they immediately called in assistance, international assistance, a lot of the damage.

02:11:38.000 Fukushima?

02:11:39.000 Yep.

02:11:40.000 They could have mitigated a lot of that disaster if they just said, we can't handle this.

02:11:43.000 Instead, they were like, everything's fine.

02:11:45.000 As it degraded and got worse.

02:11:47.000 Oh, yeah.

02:11:47.000 What is this?

02:11:48.000 This is a video someone posted today.

02:11:51.000 The alert went off on, says, you know, just went off on everyone's phone at Ocean Tower packing our bags now.

02:11:58.000 And this is just the video from the resort.

02:12:01.000 Wow.

02:12:02.000 You know what you do if you're in the pool, you just go underwater and the tsunami goes over you.

02:12:08.000 It's kind of crazy, though.

02:12:09.000 You have like 12 hours to get out.

02:12:11.000 So it's like tsunami's coming.

02:12:13.000 They don't have 12.

02:12:14.000 I think we have like seven hours.

02:12:15.000 And it's like, okay, let's drive away.

02:12:18.000 You know what's really crazy?

02:12:20.000 You ever look on a map where Tahiti is?

02:12:23.000 Yeah.

02:12:23.000 Like thousands of miles away from anything.

02:12:25.000 Everything.

02:12:26.000 Crazy.

02:12:28.000 I got a coupon for a free Norwegian cruise.

02:12:31.000 Oh, really?

02:12:31.000 Yeah, and they go to Tahiti.

02:12:32.000 I'm not the kind of guy that wants to get on a cruise.

02:12:34.000 No?

02:12:35.000 No.

02:12:35.000 Put a casino in it.

02:12:36.000 Place a park.

02:12:39.000 That's what they do.

02:12:40.000 That's why the casinos always give you free cruises. 0.98

02:12:42.000 Because they're just like, we're going to trap you in the casino for three days.

02:12:45.000 You know what I mean?

02:12:46.000 That's the trick.

02:12:47.000 Yeah.

02:12:48.000 I went to Tahiti for my honeymoon, and I didn't realize until I went there that I figured it was a French colony.

02:12:53.000 It's not a French colony.

02:12:54.000 It's France.

02:12:54.000 I mean, it's like Africa, or excuse me, like Alaska is toss.

02:12:57.000 You know what I mean?

02:12:58.000 Like, it's actual French territory, which I didn't realize how French it was, too, and the cuisine was.

02:13:02.000 So, like, you're in this beautiful island that we were in Borbora, this beautiful island sanctuary, but with some like French culture and French food.

02:13:09.000 It's interesting.

02:13:10.000 Interesting mix, but it is so far.

02:13:12.000 I mean, definitely not going again.

02:13:13.000 I've been to Australia, so.

02:13:14.000 All right, yeah.

02:13:15.000 Once you made that flight, you're just like, hmm.

02:13:18.000 Right.

02:13:20.000 But, I mean, it is crazy thing.

02:13:22.000 France owns this. 0.68

02:13:23.000 We should own this.

02:13:23.000 French Polynesia, bro.

02:13:25.000 Yep.

02:13:26.000 Why?

02:13:27.000 Why should France?

02:13:28.000 Bora Bora.

02:13:29.000 Which were.

02:13:30.000 You went to Bora Bora?

02:13:31.000 Yes.

02:13:32.000 Stayed in one of those overseas huts.

02:13:33.000 It's beautiful.

02:13:34.000 I mean, it's definitely the most beautiful water and island I've ever seen.

02:13:37.000 But again, I wouldn't go back.

02:13:38.000 It's so far.

02:13:39.000 Hawaii.

02:13:40.000 That's And Guam. 0.87

02:13:43.000 We also have that random island in the Indian Ocean.

02:13:45.000 Look at this.

02:13:45.000 When you zoom out, look where it is.

02:13:47.000 Yeah.

02:13:47.000 How alone?

02:13:49.000 I forgot what it was.

02:13:50.000 It used to be a British island, but now it's like very militarily.

02:13:56.000 Have you been to Hawaii?

02:13:58.000 Oh, me, no.

02:14:00.000 You should go.

02:14:01.000 It's great.

02:14:02.000 Tahuata.

02:14:03.000 I only visit, you know.

02:14:05.000 This is crazy, dude.

02:14:06.000 We'll sleep in America. 0.77

02:14:07.000 These tiny islands.

02:14:10.000 And there's like, hey, there's people there, man.

02:14:12.000 You know where I'm going.

02:14:13.000 What are they doing?

02:14:14.000 Why is there an airport here?

02:14:15.000 What's going on?

02:14:16.000 Yeah.

02:14:17.000 51st.

02:14:17.000 Where's this?

02:14:19.000 Look at this island.

02:14:20.000 Uahuka.

02:14:22.000 Where are we?

02:14:23.000 Like all of it.

02:14:24.000 So I'm guessing all these islands.

02:14:25.000 Everybody's trying to get to high ground right now, right?

02:14:28.000 I would think.

02:14:29.000 Yep, yeah.

02:14:30.000 Thankfully, because they're volcanic, most of them do have pretty high ground, right?

02:14:34.000 You know, they're basically mountaintops, effectively.

02:14:38.000 Most of them.

02:14:41.000 It's crazy how Tahiti's actually, it's pretty big.

02:14:44.000 Look at this.

02:14:46.000 It's a respectable little town.

02:14:47.000 Yeah, no, Paipette, the capital of Tahiti, is like, you know, a big, crowded, and frankly, kind of gross city.

02:14:52.000 Boribora is incredible.

02:14:54.000 That's like the luxury island, you know.

02:14:56.000 But you fly into Paipette, which is not terribly nice and pretty big.

02:15:00.000 And then you get on a boat and go to Boribora.

02:15:02.000 Actually, we got on a little plane, but some people do.

02:15:03.000 Yeah, we got on just a puddle jumper plane.

02:15:04.000 Yeah.

02:15:05.000 But we got married in Florida, so we're going all the way across the United States to LA.

02:15:08.000 I mean, that's a long enough flight.

02:15:09.000 And then you haven't even done anything because how deep is that water right there?

02:15:13.000 I don't know exactly, but I mean, you know, you're not standing in it.

02:15:16.000 At least dozens of feet.

02:15:17.000 You can't.

02:15:18.000 This right here, like you can't stand in it?

02:15:21.000 But it's not deep, deep either.

02:15:23.000 Yeah, I would guess 20, 30 feet is my guess.

02:15:25.000 I don't know exactly.

02:15:26.000 But the bluest, most beautiful water because it's kind of those, I think they call them atolls around the ring.

02:15:31.000 So it's kind of like a sombrero, right?

02:15:32.000 You've got this big, you know, mountain in the middle and then a water moat basically around the mountain and then land, little thin strips of land all around, you know, forming a circle.

02:15:41.000 So it's like it's all luxury on Bora Bora?

02:15:43.000 Borabora is pretty high-end, yeah.

02:15:45.000 I mean, I think there's on the center part of the sombrero, you know, I think there's some working class places where the workers live.

02:15:53.000 Did you fly to Tahiti and then from LA to Papeet, yeah.

02:15:56.000 And then a little plane over to Bora Bora.

02:15:58.000 Yeah.

02:15:59.000 That's crazy.

02:16:01.000 Imagine if you're just like flying there and it's like, we're running out of fuel and, well, nah, there's tons of islands to land on.

02:16:07.000 They got little airports.

02:16:09.000 Could you imagine if like a bunch of these little islands have airports?

02:16:14.000 Let me see if I can find one.

02:16:15.000 I was just looking at one.

02:16:16.000 This one had one.

02:16:19.000 Oh, there's a little city.

02:16:20.000 This is crazy.

02:16:20.000 Look at this.

02:16:21.000 It's like a little city just right here.

02:16:22.000 What's going on?

02:16:23.000 What are these people doing down there?

02:16:24.000 If you look at the Big Island, they're all of the, like, I forget what the...

02:16:32.000 It's not a big city because of the volcano.

02:16:36.000 Yeah.

02:16:36.000 Like, There are no big cities on the big island because it's an active volcano.

02:16:41.000 Imagine just like your plane goes down on Starbuck Island.

02:16:45.000 And you're like, well, there's no trees.

02:16:48.000 No coffee.

02:16:49.000 There's no coffee.

02:16:50.000 It's just fish.

02:16:52.000 Yeah, look at that.

02:16:55.000 Jeez, man.

02:16:57.000 Go look at the cities on the big island.

02:17:00.000 Which one?

02:17:00.000 Of Hawaii?

02:17:01.000 Yeah.

02:17:03.000 Like, even Hilo, the main city up there, right there.

02:17:07.000 Like, it's all just, like, I think the biggest building is the airport, or maybe, like, maybe three stories.

02:17:17.000 Yeah, they're all small.

02:17:22.000 And that's big.

02:17:22.000 Yeah, that's got actual big city stuff.

02:17:25.000 That's like not even the main island.

02:17:27.000 That's far away.

02:17:27.000 No, but it's...

02:17:30.000 That's Oahu, right?

02:17:31.000 Wow, yeah.

02:17:32.000 It's not an active volcano, though.

02:17:34.000 It's awesome.

02:17:35.000 It's so great.

02:17:36.000 I love Hawaii.

02:17:38.000 Don't they have a racial slur for people like you?

02:17:40.000 Probably.

02:17:41.000 How least?

02:17:42.000 I think so.

02:17:43.000 Is that the Gringo equivalent?

02:17:45.000 It means like mainland or white people.

02:17:47.000 I mean, look, they can have a racial slur, but they're like the natives are still a minority on Hawaii. 0.70

02:17:52.000 Like, they're more white people than the minority. 0.58

02:17:54.000 Let's go to callers.

02:17:55.000 Let's bring some callers in.

02:17:57.000 We got Brian B. Baste.

02:17:59.000 What is up, Brian?

02:18:00.000 Be based.

02:18:02.000 Hey, guys.

02:18:02.000 How you all doing?
