00:02:49.000We don't know exactly what is true just yet, but we're hearing some reports that he may have had body armor, that he was tracking security protocol, and they believe this may be an attempted assassination of the president or an attempt.
00:03:18.000And tonight in Michigan, we are expecting the socialist who claims he's not a socialist to crush the establishment Democrats.
00:03:26.000That is a major scandal right now in Ohio with Max Miller, a Republican running for reelection who's accused of beating his wife and child.
00:03:35.000Now, he claims if that were true, he'd be in jail.
00:03:37.000But his wife's dad, his ex wife's dad, is Bernie Moreno, a Republican senator.
00:03:43.000So, Moreno's coming out being like, yeah, he's a miserable guy and he's causing my family all these problems.
00:03:49.000So, this is not some like Democrat versus Republican thing.
00:03:53.000This is just like a Republican family turmoil.
00:03:55.000And now, even Trump has called on him.
00:07:34.000An armed man was arrested Sunday outside Trump National Golf Club in SoCal after federal agents reported a suspicious person walking the property.
00:07:42.000The Secret Service is investigating whether the person posed a threat to President Donald Trump, a federal law enforcement source told CNN.
00:07:49.000The source earlier told CNN there was no current indication the person was plotting an attack on the president, but noted the investigation was ongoing.
00:07:58.000Deputies identified the man as 38 year old Janine John Taylor of Downey, who they said was under investigation by the El Segundo Police Department in a robbery case.
00:08:10.000Now, this story is breaking right now.
00:09:15.000It intentionally makes it confusing because there will be instances where the media will say, if it's a positive story, this brave woman, it'll be like, it'll be a dude.
00:09:23.000But then, if there's a trans person doing something wrong, it'll be like a man.
00:09:27.000Yeah, they'll make it super ambiguous and just pretend, go along with the preferred narrative.
00:09:33.000Talking about trans people nowadays, it reminds me of that scene in The Princess Bride where Vasini's talking to the man in black and he's like, You know, but I know, and I know, and he's trying to like, I know that you know.
00:09:43.000Yeah, like going through the whole meta thought thing.
00:09:46.000That's kind of what it's like trying to talk about the gender of a trans person nowadays.
00:09:57.000Was taking photos and videos on the grounds and appeared to be monitoring security planning activities, according to the sheriff's department.
00:10:02.000He was arrested on charges of carrying concealed firearm and possession of prohibited ammunition.
00:10:07.000Detectives assigned to the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force executed a search warrant for Tales' residence Monday due to the potential security implications surrounding the incident.
00:10:16.000Investigators recovered what they described as an illegally modified AR style rifle, a.45 caliber pistol, body armor, high capacity magazines, ammunition, radio signal devices, and multiple notebooks containing what the sheriff's department called concerning statements.
00:10:30.000Is it going to be another trans manifesto?
00:11:04.000You're from California, so translate for all of us normal people.
00:11:06.000I'm not super up to date on the exact.
00:11:10.000Laws in regards to firearms in the United States.
00:11:12.000I know that Glocks are completely banned in California, but there's increasingly just any modification that you basically make to a factory gun is basically banned in the state of California.
00:11:26.000So, I mean, I feel like that's kind of an ambiguous.
00:11:29.000We'll give that a pass, I suppose, but it is just wild.
00:11:33.000Of course, they're basically saying that California's banned the ammunition.
00:11:36.000There's tons of things that they've banned.
00:12:22.000The fact that, you know, like I said, the fact that he had all of this stuff strongly indicates another, what's this, like the sixth attempt on Donald Trump's life.
00:12:32.000I granted this was, you know, it's likely that Trump was never in any significant danger in this particular instance.
00:17:04.000Then there was the Russian drone that chased the guy around his fruit cart and then went zoop.
00:17:09.000The last Ukrainian drone that I saw was literally a Russian dude.
00:17:13.000I just saw it from Funker 560, I think there are.
00:17:16.000He's sitting, he's like laying in the grass, fully nude, and the drone pops him and he goes flying into the water that he's laying down next to.
00:17:29.000I was just like, just whenever someone wins, let me know.
00:17:31.000So, right now, we're tracking the key primary races where we are expecting the Democratic socialist who claims he's not a socialist, Al Said, to win for the Senate race on the Democrat side.
00:17:44.000And the funny thing is, he says he's not a socialist.
00:17:48.000You know, he's not endorsed by the DSA.
00:18:16.000Look, we say it all the time here, but like, even if someone doesn't conceive of them, someone in the DSA doesn't actually conceive of themselves as a communist, like,
00:18:28.000they're still doing all of the things that will move the left further left and will support what the furthest extremes on the left want.
00:18:38.000So it's like, okay, Saeed, maybe you think that people should retain property rights.
00:19:31.000It actually just hurts the Ukrainian PR.
00:19:35.000So, what it looks like is in other reporting, they were shooting at the drone as it was passing by, damaged it, and then it went down and crashed into the beach.
00:19:45.000Of course, you're now getting pro Russian side being like, oh, the Ukrainians are targeting civilians and, you know.
00:19:51.000Trying to play it up, but it's interesting nonetheless because the future of warfare is terrifying.
00:19:57.000We're finding out now that what the U.S. is uh precision missiles are depleted basically out of key ammo, and the drones that they use are like dirt cheap.
00:20:05.000They cost like I think the actual price of like air hogs, they stomp on it and launch it
00:20:11.000over like 50 million dollar Patriot missiles.
00:20:13.000I'm like, oh great, yeah, this is certainly a great replacement, yeah.
00:20:17.000I've heard it's funny because I remember air hogs, yeah, they're just launching them, and they're like, oh, like they love that.
00:20:23.000And you watch the videos, and it's like.
00:20:24.000Much more relatable watching Iran because they're like, they blow something up.
00:20:29.000So now, you guys got to watch this other video.
00:20:32.000This one's been going massively viral as well.
00:20:34.000We got our good friend Volodymyr Zelensky saying, Today, many were shocked by another video of a drone safari Russians are carrying out against civilians in Kherson.
00:20:43.000A Russian drone deliberately hunted down a man selling vegetables and detonated right next to him.
00:20:47.000Now, again, I'm like, you can't, there's nothing graphic in these videos.
00:20:50.000This guy was fine, he survived, but this video is insane.
00:21:57.000So it's like, The Black Mirror did an episode where, in the future, there's a few human survivors, and there is just like what is effectively Amazon mass producing products, just dumping the boxes because there's no humans left.
00:22:08.000And then it's got robot dogs that hunt you down and kill you.
00:22:11.000And there's like a lady, she likes to hide in a house, and the robot dog comes for her.
00:22:14.000See, the crazy thing is, that's not how it's going to be.
00:22:16.000These things are just going to run and blow up.
00:23:21.000But it's not like it's doing anything wrong.
00:23:24.000It's going to be funny when you're in your self driving car and you're just sitting there and your eyes are half glazed over as it's going on the street.
00:23:31.000And then all of a sudden it starts blinking red and like war commandeering mode active.
00:23:36.000And the car just turns into like a field, drives full speed, and just slams into like a building, destroying it.
00:23:43.000And it's like, well, you know, we're at war.
00:23:45.000So it would be nice if ICE could commandeer them and it like pops your back door open and they chuck in a guy and it takes you to like the nearest facility.
00:24:24.000The police have the ability to just shut down these criminals' cars, and conservatives are going to be like, Yeah, Trump's going to say so.
00:24:30.000And then what's going to happen is you're going to get pulled over, and the cop's going to click a button, your car's going to shut off.
00:26:02.000It's a video where it's like, it's 1996, you woke up, and the last 30 years were a horrible nightmare.
00:26:09.000And then, like, the whole room is set up with like an old Windows 95, you know, and he's got like 90s toys and there's like poses on the wall.
00:26:28.000I know that like I sound like I'm too much on Team Good Times as opposed to Team Bum Out, but like the last 30 years, like the last, the last, like COVID was kind of a bum out, like for a couple years there.
00:26:39.000Otherwise, the last 30 years for me have been sick.
00:26:41.000So, I can't, you're like, I've got to, I've got to.
00:27:19.000The reason why they're trying to get Gen Z to be nostalgic for the 90s is because after the fall happens, you're going to have to use analog technology.
00:27:27.000So they're trying to get you ready for it.
00:29:46.000And then what happens is someone tries to learn how to do tricks on them and they start learning how to jump and do bunny ops.
00:29:51.000Skateboards were made in like, was like early 60s, just putting, taking roller skate trucks and putting them on boards.
00:29:58.000And so this was a natural thing that people decided to do.
00:30:02.000Scooters were just cheap and easy to ride and were mass produced and distributed by corporations through department stores.
00:30:09.000So it wasn't like one day some kid was like, I want to make, I want to stick bike handlebars on my skateboard and be able to do skateboard tricks and bike tricks and combine it.
00:30:20.000It was parents went to Walmart and bought this product that was made by a marketing division and then got a bunch of kids to do it because it was cheaper and it was easier to ride.
00:30:28.000So you're telling me that scooters are a psyop?
00:30:36.000These were all slowly developed by individuals who started exploring what they could do on these things.
00:30:41.000Scooters were marketed by a corporation as an easier, cheaper tool for parents.
00:30:45.000And because they were like the regular scooters could be folded up, it was easy to put away.
00:30:48.000So it wasn't like some dudes got together and were like, what if we made this cool thing we can ride?
00:30:53.000It was some dude in a suit who never skated, scooted, or did anything before who was like, parents are going to love this cheap toy for $20.
00:30:59.000And then got a bunch of kids to ride it around.
00:31:01.000And then those kids started doing tricks on them.
00:31:04.000Then, to be fair, they did create industry scooters, which I can respect.
00:31:29.000So it's kind of like skateboarding gets big and then Walmart tries making these $20 boards that are just total trash to sell to parents, but they suck and you can't really learn to do anything on them.
00:31:39.000Scooting emerges because the equivalent is this, you know.
00:31:42.000Low quality garbage, cheap metal thing.
00:31:45.000And then kids started using them and from there started trying to do other things on it.
00:31:49.000So I'm not a big fan of the emergence of scooters.
00:32:30.000This is also something that's very outside of my typical interest, but I haven't heard of the X Games since like early 2000s Tony Hawk era, like peak Tony Hawk.
00:32:40.000It was like mid 2010s when it was at its peak and massive.
00:32:44.000And then what I credit its downfall to.
00:35:07.000And so if you tell them, oh, you're racist, instead of saying, instead of saying, shut up, you're whatever, and ignoring it, they start to defend themselves.
00:35:17.000And if you start defending yourself, then you're going, you're acknowledging that maybe the person that's attacking you has some justification for why they're doing it.
00:35:26.000Maybe you've said something insensitive.
00:35:29.000It's totally like the left doesn't have any defense from it.
00:35:33.000And That's part of why the DSA is going to take over the whole Democrat Party.
00:35:37.000Well, this is also a very similar vessel that we've seen with the rise of communism in many other governments and many other countries and in recent past, even.
00:35:47.000But the thing is, is that it's just been such a slow burn for a really, really long time.
00:35:52.000And you've seen the slow embrace of it because of, yes, these very, very loose, like sensitive, let me accept these people kind of unspoken policies, I guess.
00:36:04.000And it's just going to come up from under them because what does the Democrat Party even stand for anymore, really, other than socialism?
00:36:12.000Is that like they've tried to kind of steer away from the woke talking points because they know that it doesn't work, but they have no other choice because there's what they can't embrace conservatism, they can't reject the gays or anything, they have no talking points.
00:36:26.000So now it's it's so easy to win as a Democrat, seriously.
00:36:31.000Like running as a Republican is hard mode.
00:36:33.000Like, imagine you've got 10 people in front of you.
00:36:35.000And you want it, you're like, you know what, man?
00:36:44.000We're not always going to get everything we want, but we're going to put in an honest day's work, wipe the sweat from our brow, and be grateful.
00:36:51.000And they're going to go, but I want more stuff.
00:37:15.000That's why the rise of Mom Dhani kind of hit a peak and then kind of crashed and burned because people were seeing that all of his promises were not coming to fruition.
00:37:25.000Where is he getting the money for all of these initiatives?
00:37:39.000You can't have anything otherwise, anyway.
00:37:41.000So the state was going to have to bail you out.
00:37:43.000But then now you see all this drama with the new taxation on the quote unquote second homes of the wealthy non residents of New York and all this, that, and the other.
00:37:53.000And now all of it's just a public forum where, you know, at a height of, you know, threats coming against wealthy people and, you know, CEOs and all this stuff, you're just doxing all of their public addresses.
00:38:06.000This is, this is like a pretty, I think what's happening here is pretty grim, which is like, this is kind of what happened in 2016 into 2018 with the Republican Party, where Trump comes in, the establishment Republicans, I was outlining this on the show yesterday, actually.
00:38:20.000Trump comes in, he starts getting aligned, you know, some, When he first comes in, he has no allies.
00:38:25.000So he has like basically formed an alliance out of thin air and he ends up having to cozy up with a lot of these people that hate him.
00:38:30.000But as 2018 comes around, he starts picking up some key allies.
00:40:28.000So, this poll came out from Real Clear Politics a couple of years ago.
00:40:30.000We talked about it showing that the age group of 70 to 79 was the only anti Trump decade among the age bracket.
00:40:37.000So, There was like 40 to 49 was tied, but every other age group was slightly pro Trump, except for 70 to 79, which was like 10 points minus Trump.
00:40:48.000It was the one group that was carrying it for the Democrats.
00:40:50.000When they go, the Republicans are going to get a five point bump.
00:40:54.000Then you've got redistricting in 2030 with the census.
00:40:57.000Then you've got redistricting now, they just did.
00:41:00.000Yes, there's a bunch of commie momdani types that are winning the Democratic Party, but they're not going to have the numbers.
00:41:06.000Yeah, but Trump will be gone by the time they die off.
00:41:09.000Because, like, the reason why Trump is hated among 70 to 79s is because those are the people that have the most lived experience.
00:41:15.000Those are the people that, like, believe in the system the most.
00:41:17.000So, if you were to poll who hated Obama the most during the Obama era, it was probably the oldest Republicans.
00:41:23.000And then youngest Republicans are like, well, you know, there's probably a reason people support him or something.
00:41:26.000So, younger Democrats, although they're voting for the Democrat Party, I think they can understand why people are voting for Trump a lot more than the elderly could.
00:41:33.000So, I think it's just going to be as the boomers die, the whole Trump paradigm kind of dies.
00:41:38.000And Vance will now be the most hated person.
00:41:40.000You know, among older Democrats, because that's who gets offended the most by any infraction.
00:41:44.000It's like, these are my last years on earth, and you're spending it trying to keep me out of power.
00:42:01.000When you talk to your average Trump supporter, it's not about Trump.
00:42:04.000Don't get me wrong, Trump's got his culty people, but I've interviewed tons of people on the right.
00:42:09.000And I tell you this you know, I told the story back when I was in Dallas and I had an Uber driver and he was like, Yeah, you know, I'm gonna vote for Trump.
00:42:18.000I just wish you wouldn't talk like that, you know, but what I can't vote for a Democrat.
00:42:22.000So, when these super anti Trump boomers are gone, it's not even about Trump.
00:42:26.000People are going to be more happy to vote for JD Vance.
00:42:28.000There's going to be a ton of people who will be like, oh, he's great.
00:42:31.000I'm just saying, I just think when that comes along, Trump is out of office and those people die.
00:42:35.000That's when you have this moment where people look back and they're like, actually, Trump was funny.
00:42:39.000Trump was like, you're going to see this massive harassment.
00:42:48.000It's once they win the Republican or once they seize the Democrat Party, there's no going back.
00:42:51.000Yes, but there's not enough of them to win general elections, like senators and And the president's majority of voters that are voting Democrat aren't like totally bought in on Joe Biden's policy.
00:43:00.000They're just like, I hate the Republicans.
00:43:04.000And my point is again, the anti Trump faction is dying off, and every other demographic leans in favor of Trump.
00:43:13.000You get rid of Trump, these people are more comfortable voting Republican.
00:43:16.000My point is with redistricting, with the census, and with the fact that the only anti Trump age group is dying off, you're going to be looking at a plus five GOP for the next 10 years.
00:43:25.000I mean, while it is true that maybe for like hatred of Trump, The older the population, well, it's like Gen X, I think Trump performed the best with like 50 to 59, but older than that, he performed, he won.
00:43:37.000And then below 50 years old is where he started losing.
00:43:39.000And then the younger it got, that's when he would lose worse as far as like the last election.
00:43:44.000And like, let's not pretend that once Trump's gone, Vance gets in, you'll see these articles from the Atlantic like, you know, we all got to admit Trump was kind of funny, but then the next article will be why Vance is worse than Hitler.
00:43:54.000Like, they're just going to spin up the exact same.
00:45:17.000The Minnesota ICE raid was when you started to see it slip, and then when Iran kicked off, it just fell off a cliff.
00:45:22.000But when Trump is gone, and it's JD Vance, and JD Vance comes out and says, counter to these things, are these young people who supported Trump when he was anti immigration, anti COVID lockdowns, anti woke?
00:45:43.000I mean, it depends on the state of the economy, really.
00:45:45.000I think the primary reason why young people were swinging to the right was the economy.
00:45:49.000Because if you look at like polling on certain issues, young people are not like this base right wing generation like people think they are.
00:45:56.000Like they're still to the left of every previous generation.
00:46:00.000It's the most non white generation in history.
00:46:02.000So when it comes to like immigration, they might get, you might get an answer on illegal immigration, but on identity issues, it's going to be terrible.
00:46:09.000So what I guess what I'm trying to get at is like young people, it's not this like simmering white right wing revolution like ready to happen.
00:46:18.000Feel election results if the economy is bad, but JD Vance has a lot of work to do.
00:46:21.000This is why JD Vance is purposely sort of trying to keep the podcasters on his side.
00:46:27.000Like, you know, your Theo Vaughn's, he's playing, you know, people are like, why is he so soft on Tucker?
00:46:31.000I'm like, because he needs those guys.
00:46:33.000Those guys are really popular with young people.
00:46:35.000When he goes into the next primary, he needs to make sure that young people don't hate him.
00:46:37.000That's who staffs your campaign, that's who provides your activist space.
00:46:41.000I mean, if the argument is JD Vance will not be principled on his positions and is going to cater to people who, Don't like what the administration is doing, then we might as well just lay down the sword now and say, okay, the US is over.
00:46:55.000Well, that's, I mean, that's how politics works for the vice president, is you have to emphasize the administration's victories and get the downplay of the administration's failures.
00:47:03.000Well, my point is largely just the United States is conquered if that is the case.
00:47:08.000Well, that's just, that's the natural state of democracy, right?
00:47:11.000Is you always have to put your best foot forward.
00:48:55.000And viewership's down, don't get me wrong.
00:48:57.000But, uh, uh, They're falsely conflating the election cycle.
00:49:01.000But at the same time, Forbes is also creating this list of top podcasts, which excludes all of the top podcasts, which are very political, which are literally in the top charts.
00:49:08.000Like Candace Owens being the obvious one.
00:49:57.000So, like, when we're talking with our production company, and we've gone over this with the Rumble guys, we've gone over it with a couple of other radio networks, and we were like, would it make sense to get Tim Cast IRL syndicate on the radio?
00:50:11.000And they're like, we think we could probably get you maybe like 500 bucks a week.
00:50:24.000On the radio, they said viewership right now for terrestrial radio is in the thousands.
00:50:29.000You will be lucky to pull in a couple hundred bucks.
00:50:31.000So when I interviewed Jason Ellis, I don't know if that was on IRL or the interview that's yet to be published, but he said he was on Sirius for 15 years.
00:51:39.000And then you obviously transitioned to, yeah, listening to podcasts, listening to other streaming services, and then you just never reverted back to listening to the radio.
00:51:51.000Radio has always been captive audience because people have.
00:51:54.000People drive and the radio instantly turns on.
00:51:56.000But once cars went digital and started incorporating things like Sirius, then terrestrial radio started shifting to like subscription radio.
00:52:04.000And then again, like interviewing with Ellis, it was crazy because he said it was like a switch.
00:52:09.00015 years he's on this with one of the top radio shows, getting millions of viewers.
00:52:15.000COVID happens and they say, literally, because no one's driving, our viewership, our listenership is gone.
00:52:28.000And that's a crazy thing because I was talking about this and I was like, bro, it's crazy that in like a month you went from having one of the biggest radio shows in the world to it just being gone overnight.
00:52:41.000I don't, maybe complaints aren't the right word, but he was like, it's funny because people will hit me up and be like, man, I used to listen to your show all the time.
00:53:29.000To be fair, maybe like even Sunday morning is going to do better than the Westwood 1 primetime slot, which is going to like, I don't know, probably.
00:54:25.000Joe Rogan had a deal with Spotify announced by the Wall Street Journal that they're going to manage his ads for, I think, a three year deal at $250 million.
00:54:33.000Which means if Joe Rogan is getting $82 million, according to a Forbes actual analysis, this means that Joe's making his money off of a license from Spotify, not from the ads, because if his ad revenue surpassed the $250 guarantee, it would be higher than $82 million.
00:54:48.000So, it being at 82 million, which is less than a third of 250, indicates that Joe Rogan doesn't generate more revenue on his show than Spotify pays.
00:54:56.000That means the Joe Rogan experience is a loss leader for Spotify to build up its stock and also to establish itself as a podcast platform.
00:55:05.000I'll also add this for the Jason and Travis Kelsey show.
00:55:08.000At least on YouTube, a lot of their shows and clips do substantially less than we do.
00:55:14.000If they make more than we do, I believe I was going to say.
00:55:22.000All of these shows are getting paid as loss leaders.
00:55:25.000Whereas Timcast is an independently published company.
00:55:28.000We have to make more money than we're spending, otherwise, we cease to exist.
00:55:32.000Whereas these shows make less money than they're getting paid, and they exist because people are paying for it.
00:55:37.000Well, and some of these are radio shows they've just converted into podcasts over time, which kind of shows that, like, you know, like for example, The Breakfast Club, I think that's like a big Black People show, and it's like it was on the radio for years, and then they're just like, I don't know, just turn it to a podcast.
00:56:02.000I believe that Joe Rogan's ad rates, the last time I was looking into it, is 50 to 100,000 per read.
00:56:10.000So if you, at the top of the Joe Rogan podcast, when he's shouting something out, if you want him to shout out your product, it's 50 grand.
00:56:21.000Now, getting $82 million off a $250 three year deal, they're paying him $250,000.
00:56:27.000Over three years, he's not making his show, does not generate more revenue through audience than Spotify pays.
00:56:35.000And that's true for probably every single one of these.
00:56:38.000It reminds me of the debates back in the day when, you know, when like DJs were first coming onto the scene, you know, like Dead Mouse or Skrillex or these guys.
00:56:46.000And they're like, what do they do when they're performing live?
00:57:01.000Spotify might probably in the big picture make way more than Joe brings in because of paid accounts.
00:57:07.000So, like, people sign up for Spotify paying 10 bucks a month or whatever.
00:57:10.000And then from they don't just listen to Joe Rogan, they'll listen to other Spotify shows.
00:57:16.000So, whereas one person might only be worth 10 cents to an advertiser, that one person listens to three different Spotify podcasts, entering 30 cents out of one.
00:57:37.000The New York Times reported this that Ben's getting like a million, he gets like 1.2 million per episode, some psychotic number.
00:57:42.000This is like, this is what I mean when like people are kind of detached from like how normies think, where like you go on Twitter and it's like, you know, clearly Ben Shapiro's dead in the water or whatever.
00:58:24.000So I find that really hard to believe, but it could be why Candace is not on the list of the top podcasts because while she does really well on YouTube, she does not do that well on the streaming platform.
00:58:37.000The people that are just kind of just trying to keep up with the news when they're driving to work, and then the people that are like, I wonder if.
00:58:42.000You know, Morocco was involved in this latest.
00:58:45.000Well, here's the thing a view on Apple is worth something like 10 times a view on YouTube.
00:59:02.000Somebody who's watching a video and they're sitting there watching you do the ad read, that should be more valuable than a podcast listener for whatever reason.
00:59:10.000But podcasts, like when we look at our numbers, Spotify, Apple, and audio based platforms, even though some of them are now video based, the revenue is 10x.
00:59:19.000It's like the ad reads that we do on the audio side for a tenth of the views are the exact same.
00:59:26.000So that's why I can see like straight podcast download numbers.
00:59:30.000Some of this makes sense, but I do know what I will say is without spilling the beans on anyone's private deal, I actually know a secret about some of these deals.
00:59:41.000So when you see like someone's bringing in $30 million and Forbes goes, look at the $30 million they're getting paid, oftentimes these are tricks.
00:59:48.000To make lists, what they'll do is a network will have a contract where we're going to pay you $30 million and then you owe us for our distribution of your show.
01:00:02.000So they pay a flat rate to the podcaster who then has to, who gets invoiced for distribution and ends up paying back $25 million of the $30.
01:00:12.000Then they can publicly announce so and so was signed for a $30 million deal.
01:00:16.000Well, and a lot of the times, because I've talked to people that have.
01:00:21.000They'll handle everything on the invoicing and the billing, the actual podcaster itself, kind of on the back end, but the podcaster will get a very, very minimal salary every month as their payment.
01:00:30.000And then the idea is that they get paid out the remainder of what they might be owed per the deal at the very end of the contract.
01:00:39.000I just have this question though for a lot of these guys, you don't see them, like, you don't see the lifestyle that should come with what they have.
01:02:16.000If you're bringing in $20 million a year and it is just going to the podcaster because they're claiming it's the podcaster is getting paid, that's how you know it's a scam.
01:02:25.000Bro, a charter flight round trip, like a private jet coast to coast, is going to cost you between $100,000 and $200,000, depending on the plane that you get.
01:02:36.000If you're doing 20 million per year, you're going to buy a private jet.
01:02:43.000You can get a good private jet, like a used one with a pilot.
01:02:46.000It's going to cost you about a million bucks.
01:03:20.000And for that matter, I'm going to add this to the list because if you ever watch these high stakes poker games, I'm a big poker guy, where they're gambling 500 grand.
01:03:32.000The average millionaire in the United States has a net worth of $1 to $3 million and makes $160,000 a year.
01:03:38.000They're millionaires because they manage their finances very well.
01:03:41.000There is this idea that people have in their minds that millionaires are making a million bucks a year, that they're like this is not true.
01:03:50.000Joe Rogan's the only one I think probably makes sense.
01:04:58.000If it's independently published, for sure.
01:04:59.000But the other thing to consider too, like what I will say is depending on how you cut the numbers, if we go by raw numbers, then Timcast Media is bigger than some of these shows in terms of revenue.
01:05:10.000But we have to pay out lawyers, vendors, staff, facilities, internet.
01:05:14.000So I'm personally not getting anywhere near that amount of money.
01:06:24.000Well, this was always the theory for the longest time of why some advertisers were skeptical.
01:06:27.000Of YouTube was because of the autoplay.
01:06:29.000Like, people are like, oh, a lot of these videos are getting padded views from the autoplay because it'll be like a video essay that's like 40 minutes long, right?
01:06:41.000Like, I don't care about whatever this, you know, video game is covering or whatever.
01:06:44.000But it's like, yeah, that was the theory for the longest time is that sweet spot videos were just getting hit with autoplay and it was like padding their views.
01:12:43.000Someone put a thousand dollars on McMorrow to win.
01:12:46.000Hey, hey, I mean, look, what is going on?
01:12:49.000That happened in uh, so the people listening to the Kelsey podcast, a thousand dollar bet causes a slippage where your max payout will be 350k.
01:14:25.000Well, I want to pull this one up because this is why I get mad at Republicans.
01:14:29.000So we've got this video, and it says from RNC Research Michigan Senate candidate Abdul Al Sayed says every third video on his Instagram timeline is an OnlyFans model and blames the algorithm.
01:14:39.000The thing is, I actually look at Instagram, I look at on Instagram, right?
01:14:42.000Every third video that scrolls down is going to be some OnlyFans model.
01:16:01.000Is that Instagram has been sending me dead children videos, which is one of the most shockingly offensive things they could do.
01:16:08.000Dude, you put up a video of a guy and it's the World Series of poker, and then you got the British guy being like, oh my, he's going all in.
01:16:39.000They want people, they want young people or people considering having families to watch videos where parents are like, my child is dead and I'm miserable.
01:16:57.000I have heard from people that really know the social media algorithms well that Meta is one of the worst algorithms as far as actually being.
01:17:05.000Tailored to you, and TikTok is one of the best.
01:17:08.000So, I mean, it would make sense that people that are rejecting certain types of media probably would get fed.
01:17:12.000Because the ping pong could just be like, well, he's Asian, just send the ping pong.
01:17:15.000And there actually are a lot of Asians playing ping pong.
01:17:18.000I think what it may be is that Meta wants to experiment by sending content to you to see how you react to things that you may not normally look at.
01:17:27.000I agree with that, but it's so interesting that you continuously, for long periods of time, still get sent it despite the fact that you don't interact with it.
01:17:33.000Or you report it or say that you don't want it to continuously be fed to you.
01:17:44.000If I get, if I'm, if I'm scrolling Instagram and I see tonight V submitted to the crowd, I block the account instantly and then I say, stop sending me this.
01:17:53.000Yeah, but it's just so interesting that you either don't react with it or you block it and it still sends it to you.
01:17:59.000Because wouldn't that hurt Meta's ad revenue and everything with the lack of retention on the videos and whatnot?
01:18:07.000That just makes no sense to me why they would continuously do that.
01:18:55.000And so now there's a whole bunch of content like this where if you concentrate, you can flip the image and it'll spin one way or the other.
01:19:25.000That's like, I'll say, I think I was saying on the show the other day, it was like when chess was getting really big, and then there were people who were like, This is clearly a PSYOP.
01:19:30.000I'm like, What's the PSYOP like to make your pattern recognition skills better?
01:22:07.000Yeah, there's going to be something else people will get hooked on, but it's going to be broadly the same, I think.
01:22:11.000I actually disagree, and I disagree for this reason.
01:22:13.000We've got this clip of Elon Musk that I will play for you now and tell you why the future is about to get absolutely insane.
01:22:21.000In the next six to 12 months, we'll be doing our first implants for vision, where even if somebody's completely blind, we can write directly to
01:24:42.000Dude, think about how much liberals don't like being themselves, right?
01:24:48.000And now you can say, listen, you get the surgery, and then you can plug something into your brain, and it will make you experience the world as if you were a different body.
01:25:36.000What's gonna happen is you're gonna get the brand new Neuralink and you're like, this is awesome.
01:25:41.000Like, I just wanna be Chinese for like 15 minutes.
01:25:42.000You're gonna put it on and then you're gonna teleport and you're gonna be like holding a walk and you're gonna be like, This is great.
01:25:49.000And then you're going to look in the mirror and you're going to be this like total stereotypical Chinese guy and be like, I write this so much.
01:25:55.000And then all of a sudden, you're going to feel a sharp pain in the side of your head.
01:25:58.000And then you're going to be like, ow, what was this?
01:26:57.000Like, I do it for 15 minutes and I'd be like, and then, like, 20 years later, like, your body is just decayed, like, bones and rot, but your brain was uploaded.
01:27:06.000And now you've just been this Chinese guy for like, you're an immortal Chinese guy in the server, and you're walking around with this panda next to you, just like, yeah, just snapping together iPads all day, looting.
01:27:16.000No, I was gonna say you had a sword and you were just killing people, and they're digital, so they're just they respawn.
01:27:21.000But I want to see like the suicide nuts, like, bounce you back in.
01:27:26.000You're gonna end up in like 1964 China.
01:28:33.000Yeah, I'm just like, it's that two week Minecraft phase.
01:28:34.000I'm trying to soak in every moment for like, you don't touch it for another two years.
01:28:37.000But my point with the Neuralink stuff is that if you think the trans stuff right now is going too far, wait till you get Neuralink.
01:28:44.000There's going to be a guy who's going to like, you and your buddy's going to walk up to you and be like, Tato, I'm not telling you this, but I've always identified as a potato.
01:28:50.000And I'm going to live in Neuralink full time now as a potato so I can be my true self.
01:28:54.000Well, but that would be crazy because they could essentially just rewrite their previous memories, right?
01:29:00.000So like, they could just be like, you know what?
01:29:12.000We can give someone the death penalty or we can totally rewrite their brain to make them a good, God fearing Christian who just wants to go work and go to church.
01:29:22.000Well, I mean, ostensibly, if you can rewrite their personality, then I guess the moral thing to do would be to rewrite their personality.
01:33:18.000Yeah, but there's something like the pro fat people and then a Zempic drop and they're like, oh, actually, like, I'm just going to cut weight.
01:33:42.000So they go to an arcade and Morty puts on the helmet and then it makes him a human named Roy and he lives a full life as this guy who, like, he's the football star.
01:33:55.000And then to him, he experiences 70 years.
01:33:58.000Everyone around him is just watching him play an arcade game.
01:34:07.000So it's like, that's what's going to happen is.
01:34:10.000What's really going to happen is that Tate, you're going to wake up on your couch and you're actually like a 70 year old fat black woman playing Tate.
01:34:19.000And it's a video game where you play as Tate Brown.
01:34:22.000How much time actually goes by in the real world then if you've lived 70 minutes?
01:35:33.000In the future, you're going to get podcasts that intentionally tell you stupid things that you harm yourself to just get you out of the gene pool.
01:36:34.000Could you imagine just how fun that would be to just be a dedicated audience who genuinely thinks that you can astral project and that Charlie Kirk had electromagnetic powers?
01:36:42.000Guys, she claims, guys, she has claimed on numerous occasions that Charlie Kirk had electromagnetic powers.
01:39:23.000You know what I would do if I was as unabashed and had an audience as dumb as Candace's?
01:39:27.000I would just be like, I have psychic powers.
01:39:31.000And I've never revealed this to anyone.
01:39:33.000But the reason I am able to run this business and have the insights that I do is because I can actually control people's minds and see the future.
01:39:39.000So, John, you're watching me right now.
01:44:19.000I just, you know, I mean it when I say, like, I wish I could live in this world where I'm like, I was hanging out with Charlie and he was able to control the energy around us and could turn the lights on and off with his mind.
01:44:33.000And, you know, we would astral project together and travel through time.
01:44:49.000I'm like, no matter how culty somebody can get, and like, I mean, we've seen plenty of examples of cults throughout the years and the crazy things that they can convince people of.
01:45:00.000But the second that you get to the supernatural kind of stuff, I'm like, don't you lose people.
01:53:23.000Like most of the Democrats, like, know which way the wind's blowing, and they're like, all right, well, I guess we're going to go ahead and throw our lot in with these guys.
01:54:14.000Commodore fan says, the rare times I listen to local radio is during bad weather with power outages to get local info when cell towers are screwed up.
01:54:21.000Otherwise, it's Android Auto in my car for YouTube music.
01:54:26.000When I get my Honda, instantly my phone kicks on and it's Pandora.
01:54:30.000It's just the icons there and it presses play.
01:54:33.000And then it's going to be my thumbprint radio, which is going to be like a lot of 2010s indie rock and some like 90s alternative and then some modern, like, you know, I guess like indie electronic stuff.
01:54:44.000And then when I get my Tesla, same thing.
01:54:47.000My phone just auto connects over Bluetooth.
01:55:02.000In response to that radio call, the only places that have radio stations that survived is when they have DJs that have endeared themselves with the population, right?
01:55:10.000Like, so there's one in Wisconsin called JJO.
01:55:26.000Actually, getting any kind of listener is the people that had DJs that were going out into the community doing stuff that, you know, have fans of the DJs.
01:55:36.000And the radio stations made a big mistake thinking that DJs were just replaceable, right?
01:55:40.000Oh, it doesn't matter who's spinning the songs.
01:55:43.000People are listening because of the music, et cetera, et cetera.
01:55:45.000And there might have been a time where that was true.
01:55:47.000But nowadays, if they're like the radio stations that still are viable are ones that have DJs that people care to listen to.
01:56:23.000And they're all wrong because I've said it a million times the AI is never going to be skeleton skull monsters hunting you down to kill you.
01:56:58.000But they never really explained, like, how.
01:57:03.000It's an interesting question that wasn't explored enough.
01:57:05.000Like, Cypher being like ignorance is bliss, they did not actually explore, you know, like, would you really want to live in that desiccated, destroyed, nasty cave world eating slop?
01:57:21.000Like, you know, it doesn't make sense for Matrix.
01:57:25.000They can just plug your brain in and give you whatever you want.
01:57:27.000It's like, okay, here's what we're going to do.
01:57:29.000We're going to give you an IV bag of gelatinous goo that tastes like trash, but you'll be plugged into the Matrix eating a delicious, juicy steak the whole time.
01:57:38.000In fact, you're going to get a whole steak.
01:57:39.000You're going to get a 48 ounce tomahawk or 72 ounce tomahawk.
01:57:42.000It just goes nuts, and you can eat forever.
01:57:45.000Like, they taught the dude kung fu, you know?
01:57:55.000I guess that should have been what was happening in Zion.
01:57:59.000People live there and work, but then once they're done working, they just plug their brains in and then they live in a normal, like a nice place.
01:58:19.000Marusia, my issue with pronatalists is they tend to care more about quantity over quality.
01:58:25.000A handful of A class people can do more than 100,000 scammer and morons.
01:58:30.000Native two percenters are still two percenters.
01:58:33.000That's like a really harsh way of describing one fundamental flaw with a lot of pronatal policy, which is like five grand for people that aren't having kids that we need to have kids, which is like middle class and up, right?
01:58:44.000That's the problem, they're not having children.
01:59:20.000Based African says, Head of thought, Thucydides trapped, but instead of countries and economic powers, it's cultural factions and political power within a country.
01:59:27.000This stemmed from the thought that much of the government marginalized groups seek to be large enough to displace responsibility and gain unchecked power.
01:59:36.000You know what the left is right about?
01:59:39.000The United States takes what it wants.
01:59:41.000We're the biggest, we're the strongest, we're the smartest, we take whatever we want.
01:59:44.000And the left was like, yeah, why don't we just do that?
01:59:58.000And legitimately, okay, so in human history, there has never been a society with as much power, military power, That did not use it or used it as
02:00:47.000And the U.S. has done plenty of military actions to protect its interests.
02:00:51.000But the capability that the United States has to just like annihilate countries if they wanted to, if the military wanted to, or if the government wanted to,
02:01:04.000it is completely obvious to anyone that takes a serious look that every single administration.
02:01:12.000In the United States, the United States has ever had was incredibly benevolent and very reserved in their use of power compared to any society in history.
02:01:22.000So that's right there is evidence that the United States is responsible with the power that it has and that that's why the United States should be the global hegemon.
02:01:52.000I mean, what do you mean by fix you again?
02:01:54.000I don't actually think people with brain chips will actually care about being fixed in reality, right?
02:01:59.000So I would imagine if you went to a trans person and said, we can rewrite and eliminate the dysphoria from your brain or put you in a virtual reality where you will just be the opposite gender.
02:02:11.000They're going to be like, yeah, virtual reality.
02:11:03.000And Homeboy was effective in changing the assailant's mind.
02:11:12.000Look, man, like the.57 round is so expensive.
02:11:17.000Like the guy's YouTube page is called Poverty Operator, and he's out there rolling with a fish gun and with an FN and with a can with five seven.
02:11:26.000Like, I that doesn't scream poverty to me.
02:12:27.000The thing is, he was saying in the interview, I think it was ABC that did an interview with him, and he's like, Look, you know, the guy was all standing up tall when he was shooting the rifle, but as soon as rounds started going the other way, like his whole demeanor changed.
02:12:42.000Like when you're the guy, when you think you're the only guy around with a gun, you've got a certain posture.
02:12:48.000And then when people start shooting back, you know, it's like, Oh, this just got real.
02:12:53.000The thing that always, like, I don't understand is if you're the guy, not that I really am super concerned with understanding the shooter's mindset, but like, If you're the guy with a rifle and you're shooting at people and then someone starts shooting back, like,
02:13:21.000So, you know, but like I said, shooting a 5.7, it sounded like it looked like, well, not looked like, it seemed like they were subs because you could hear the rifle going off in the video, but you couldn't really hear like.
02:13:34.000The pot, the pistol with the can, like it was real quiet.
02:14:18.000I don't know if you've heard of Thomas Sowell.
02:14:20.000He's one of America's greatest living thinkers, though a lot of people still don't know his name because he completely changed the way I think or even know that I wasn't thinking and have a conversation.
02:14:29.000Especially, he has arguments about culture and values shape outcomes more than discrimination does.
02:14:34.000So, given how strongly Priya talks about a simulation, I'm curious what you think of that approach.
02:14:39.000Do you feel more people need to hear his ideas?
02:14:41.000And do you think awarding him the Presidential Medal of Freedom would help get those ideas in front of a wider audience, possibly a national dialogue?
02:15:14.000I'm not sure exactly what it was that changed his mind, what was the catalyst for that.
02:15:18.000But to go from being a Marxist to being one of the foremost intellectuals on conservative, or one of the conservative thought leaders, that's a really dramatic change.
02:15:55.000I mean, this is an incredible opportunity to reach people because you know the media is going to bash him.
02:15:59.000That publicity would bring his name to the mainstream.
02:16:01.000And I've had incredible conversations.
02:16:03.000I literally set up a booth with the tablecloth with Thomas Sowell quotes at the farmer's market, selling some 3D printed stuff, a book I wrote about, a little storybook about Delaware, and a giant poster of Thomas Sowell.
02:16:15.000And I must have engaged about 50 people in conversations.
02:20:37.000So I'll just give you guys the full, like legit, I've made no wages on any of that stuff, but I am talking with our booker about setting up something with someone from the admin because we want to do a one on one conversation about media bias and things like that.
02:20:49.000And that would coincide with attending a press briefing.
02:22:38.000But that being said, my question to you guys is based on the potential insolvency of Social Security and how you guys were talking about essentially purchasing robots and leasing them,
02:22:50.000do you think it would be a good idea for the government to essentially liquidate all of the U.S. Social Security?
02:23:02.000David, try talking a little bit closer to your microphone.
02:23:21.000Because, look, I mean, the government is massively bloated, there's tons of corruption, and everybody tries to get their fingers into the pie.
02:23:32.000Any government program is probably, you know, whatever.
02:23:37.000There's probably 50 to 75 cents on every dollar they take in for a program that gets blown on bullshit, gets blown on, you know, people they have to pay,
02:23:53.000So, no, it's probably not a good idea for the government to do it.
02:23:56.000There's a reason why, you know, Social Security is insolvent.
02:23:59.000If they had taken Social Security and, like, put it into the, you know, just put it in an index fund, Uh, pegged to the Dow or to the SP, like we wouldn't have the problem.
02:24:11.000George Bush tried to do that, yeah, it would have been awesome.
02:24:14.000And they were like, Oh, it's gonna cost too much money to buy all the index funds, insane!
02:24:59.000Look, the yield on a 30 year bond right now is 5.24%.
02:25:03.000Yeah, that's why it's the highest it's been in 20 years.
02:25:07.000And for people that don't know, the bond yield goes up in order to attract people to buy the bonds, right?
02:25:13.000So if the government is selling bonds, the interest rate on the bond goes up.
02:25:17.000The amount of money that you'll make holding the bond every year goes up.
02:25:22.000When they want to attract people to buy them, the reason they've gone up is because we have so much debt that people don't look at the federal government as a real reliable, or not as many people look at the government as a real reliable, sure thing.
02:25:35.000It used to be where people looked at the U.S. government as rock solid, absolutely.
02:25:40.000A lot of what's going on now is they look around the world and they say, well, the U.S. doesn't look great, but it looks better than everyone else.
02:28:57.000Just full disclosure for everybody that's, you know, it's going to automatically sell if the rate goes up, which I imagine based on the fact that she just tied, it's going to skyrocket.
02:29:28.000I like poker, poker's not gambling, yeah.
02:29:30.000But I was just gonna say, people that like to gamble, I feel like if we, us earlier in the show, looking at that, looking at what the my god, dude, the potential was, I feel like they'd just be fiending, like, oh my gosh, I can't believe that.
02:29:42.000Homie in the chat said he put 80 bucks down, good for him, and he was like, it's at 800 now, I might cash out if he held.
02:29:48.000Okay, okay, the gap just jumped up again.
02:30:25.000Anyway, Collard, where were we at before I lost my mind over her closing the gap?
02:30:31.000Basically, my question was essentially
02:30:36.000if the U.S. government were to buy a bunch of the robots and then lease them out, and then that money that the robots make would count as the retirement fund for the aging population, would that be a good idea?
02:30:48.000Phil pretty much put the kibosh on it, though.
02:32:34.000Personally, I'd just like to say I'm more of a patriot.
02:32:37.000I had more faith in the non communist winning.
02:32:41.000I mean, still a Democrat, but, you know,
02:32:47.000this kind of actually pertains to that.
02:32:51.000Americans just have a visceral reaction against communism.
02:32:54.000And so I feel like that's why it's a little bit more of a competitive race than initially thought.
02:33:02.000But, you know, if the long term mail in ballots went one way, as they typically do, do you think Americans would accept, like, public appointments, like, you know,
02:34:04.000Beyond that, I mean, everything, every other proposal would be impossible.
02:34:07.000I mean, maybe like if the Republicans really focused in on it over the next like 20 years, you might be able to get senators appointed by state legislators again.
02:34:17.000But that would be a 20, 30 year project with a lot of you wonder like what's the benefit there if you're just going to end up with like a 50 50 Senate anyway.
