Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - FIRING TUCKER CARLSON BACKFIRES, Fox Ratings TANK Nearly 50% w-Steve Krakauer

00:00:00.000 Fox News, lost.

00:00:20.000 To CNN.

00:00:21.000 That's right.

00:00:22.000 Sorry, Brian Kilmeade.

00:00:24.000 Your ratings in the key demo are lower than that of Anderson Cooper's.

00:00:28.000 CNN, they must be screaming and celebrating and high-fiving each other after this major blunder.

00:00:33.000 Tucker Carlson's out.

00:00:35.000 The ratings for the 8pm slot on Fox News have dropped by about 50% and in the key demo they've fallen to third place.

00:00:42.000 Now to be fair, they're still winning in terms of general audience.

00:00:47.000 But from 3.3 million viewers down to 1.7 and in the key demo, less than CNN.

00:00:53.000 Wow.

00:00:55.000 Talk about embarrassing!

00:02:40.000 Who are you?

00:02:40.000 Absolutely.

00:02:41.000 Yeah, so I'm a journalist.

00:02:41.000 What do you do?

00:02:42.000 I've had a lot of different jobs over the last 15 years or so.

00:02:45.000 Most recently, I just wrote a book, Uncovered, how the media got cozy with power, abandoned its principles, and lost the people.

00:02:51.000 It tracks how corporate media just completely went off the rails over the last seven years and really tried to Interview a bunch of people, not just my opinion, but talk to 25 people on the record.

00:03:01.000 Everyone's on the record, no anonymous sources, including people like Tucker Carlson, reporters at the New York Times and other places.

00:03:07.000 And you can follow my media writing on every weekly basis, fourthwatch.media at Substack.

00:03:14.000 And my day job, normally I spend my time as the executive producer of Megyn Kelly's show.

00:03:19.000 Well, there you go.

00:03:20.000 That's a lot of stuff.

00:03:20.000 That's interesting, considering the media is collapsing.

00:03:23.000 ABC News is getting rid of Nate Silver.

00:03:23.000 Yeah.

00:03:26.000 BuzzFeed News is gone.

00:03:28.000 Don Lemon's gone.

00:03:29.000 And Tucker.

00:03:30.000 So, thanks for hanging out, man.

00:03:31.000 This should be fun.

00:03:32.000 Really honored.

00:03:32.000 Happy to be here.

00:03:33.000 Right on.

00:03:34.000 We got the Potato Man himself.

00:03:35.000 This is unbelievable.

00:03:36.000 I'm just going to get up and leave at some point.

00:03:38.000 It's going to be Kanye all over again.

00:03:39.000 I thought that was your thing.

00:03:40.000 I thought you liked being called the Potato Man.

00:03:42.000 I've told you repeatedly never to address me in such a manner again, and I'm constantly insulted.

00:03:47.000 Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Seamus Coghlan.

00:03:50.000 I run a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes where we make animated cartoons.

00:03:53.000 We're gonna be releasing one tomorrow about the Tucker Carlson saga.

00:03:57.000 I also run a podcast on Rumble, it's called Shamer, if y'all want to go check that out.

00:04:03.000 And I'm just looking forward to the show and to schooling Tim with some facts and logic about his anti-Irish bigotry and having a great conversation with everybody else.

00:04:12.000 I am Irish.

00:04:13.000 And yet you're self-hating.

00:04:15.000 It's a sad thing.

00:04:16.000 Adrian Norman's back.

00:04:17.000 What's up, guys?

00:04:18.000 Adrian Norman here, staff writer at Temcast.

00:04:20.000 And not Ian.

00:04:21.000 Ian's not here.

00:04:22.000 I'm Black Ian.

00:04:23.000 Black Ian.

00:04:23.000 All right.

00:04:24.000 We'll go with that one.

00:04:25.000 Adrian.

00:04:26.000 It's almost in there.

00:04:27.000 Ian's in there somewhere.

00:04:28.000 Oh my gosh, that's true.

00:04:29.000 And then we got Serge pressing the buttons.

00:04:31.000 What's up, guys?

00:04:31.000 Serge.com.

00:04:33.000 Excited for today.

00:04:33.000 It'll be fun.

00:04:34.000 Alright, let's jump into this first story from Mediaite.

00:04:36.000 I love how they kind of bury the lead.

00:04:39.000 You'd think they'd headline this similarly to what we did.

00:04:42.000 viewers but lands third in demo. I love how they kind of bury the lead. You'd think they'd

00:04:46.000 headline this similarly to what we did. Check it out. The Hour hosted by Brian Kilmeade

00:04:52.000 on Fox News brought in 1.7 million viewers, which beat Chris Hayes' 1.45, and Anderson

00:04:58.000 Cooper landed in third with 678,000.

00:05:01.000 What they're not telling you is that Tucker Carlson just this past week was averaging 3.3 million viewers, meaning Fox News lost nearly Half of their audience when they got rid of Tucker Carlson.

00:05:14.000 And, uh, okay, I think Tucker's happy.

00:05:17.000 I saw a video of him riding around in a golf cart with his wife, laughing.

00:05:20.000 So he's probably like, great, I can start my own company and make a ton of money.

00:05:24.000 Here's where it gets interesting, though.

00:05:26.000 If we jump down to the key demo viewership, take a look at this.

00:05:31.000 If we go to the 8pm Fox News Tonight, 149,000 viewers in the key demo.

00:05:37.000 Anderson Cooper and MSNBC both beat Fox News.

00:05:44.000 That is just laughably embarrassing.

00:05:47.000 I mean, look at this!

00:05:48.000 Jesse Watters beats both CNN and MSNBC.

00:05:51.000 And then at 8pm, CNN and MSNBC beat Fox News.

00:05:55.000 Chris Hayes has beaten Fox News.

00:05:59.000 How embarrassing.

00:06:00.000 Chris Hayes and Anderson Cooper.

00:06:02.000 I mean, this is this is honestly a disaster.

00:06:04.000 We should point out a demo, you know, the A25, 25 to 54 year olds.

00:06:08.000 That's what the ad sales are based on.

00:06:11.000 It's not total viewers is great.

00:06:12.000 Obviously, you want a big number of total viewers.

00:06:14.000 But in terms of the traditional Legacy media that these cable networks are, all that matters is the demo number.

00:06:21.000 And that demo number, last week, Tucker Carlson was, I mean, 400, 500,000.

00:06:25.000 I mean, that's as typical.

00:06:28.000 160,000, that is insane.

00:06:30.000 And it's not… 149,000.

00:06:32.000 And it's not just even the 8 p.m.

00:06:33.000 hour.

00:06:34.000 It's dragging down 9 p.m.

00:06:35.000 with Sean Hannity and 10 p.m.

00:06:37.000 It's a massive, massive problem.

00:06:39.000 So I got a question for you, though.

00:06:40.000 I don't know if you have the experience in the area.

00:06:41.000 If I were to have bought an ad on Fox News and I was like, we want to run Monday at 8 p.m.

00:06:45.000 And they went, you got it.

00:06:47.000 And then they removed Tucker.

00:06:49.000 I get my money back, right?

00:06:50.000 That's a good question.

00:06:51.000 If you bought it specifically for Tucker, do you now get it?

00:06:55.000 That's a good question.

00:06:55.000 In fact, now that it's not called Tucker Carlson Tonight, That may be your way of getting it back because now it's Fox News Tonight or whatever they're calling it in the interim.

00:07:04.000 Yeah, no, look, this is a disaster.

00:07:05.000 I mean, obviously, Tucker leaving is one thing.

00:07:07.000 Tucker is going to be fine.

00:07:08.000 I mean, everyone in the media, if we're texting, direct message, it's like the talk of what does Tucker Carlson do next.

00:07:16.000 He will eventually do something next.

00:07:17.000 He's obviously under contract right now.

00:07:19.000 He can't even talk.

00:07:20.000 But he will eventually do something next.

00:07:21.000 But what happens with Fox?

00:07:22.000 This is not the same as what happened, I would say, when Bill O'Reilly left or when other top stars left.

00:07:29.000 Tucker Carlson is a singular voice and an incredibly important voice in this particular moment.

00:07:36.000 And they lose that.

00:07:37.000 And that is going to have a massive reverberations.

00:07:40.000 I just want to make sure we don't leave out our good friend Cuomo, who scored 26,000 viewers in the key demo. 0.97

00:07:46.000 Holy crap.

00:07:47.000 And then, Cuomo, 11pm, get this, 8. 0.97

00:07:50.000 8,000 in the demo, yeah. 0.98

00:07:53.000 8,000, holy crap. 0.81

00:07:55.000 He probably made a whole 20 bucks off that show. 0.68

00:07:58.000 Dude, if I made a YouTube video that only got 8,000 views, I think it would make like $20.

00:08:03.000 That's nuts to me.

00:08:05.000 In total, to be fair, in total viewership, Cuomo got 156,000.

00:08:09.000 And then Cuomo at 11 p.m.

00:08:13.000 got 80,000.

00:08:15.000 Oh, how the mighty have fallen, Cuomo, I guess.

00:08:17.000 Whatever.

00:08:18.000 But I think Tucker Carlson's probably gonna, you know, he's gonna launch his own network or something.

00:08:23.000 You were saying that there was like some kind of rumor about why he got fired, because like he was he was hitting on, well, not really, but... No, yeah, hold on.

00:08:30.000 This is how rumors get started, man.

00:08:31.000 This is not what he said.

00:08:33.000 This is not what he said.

00:08:34.000 What did he say?

00:08:36.000 That Rupert Murdoch's... Well, actually, this is gossip.

00:08:40.000 I couldn't even tell you.

00:08:41.000 But basically, I'll let you tell the story.

00:08:43.000 It has been reported. 0.94

00:08:44.000 In fact, it was reported even before Monday when this all shit hit the fan and Tucker was gone that he had dinner with Rupert Murdoch and Rupert is now The only reason Tucker Carlson is no longer on the air at Fox is because Rupert Murdoch soured on him for one reason or another.

00:08:58.000 Who knows exactly what that reason is, but was that part of the tension in the relationship? 0.96

00:09:02.000 Was the experience of Tucker himself and whether he's the gift from God or not?

00:09:06.000 And the only reason Tucker Carlson is no longer on the air at Fox is because Rupert Murdoch

00:09:09.000 soured on him, for one reason or another.

00:09:11.000 Who knows exactly what that reason is.

00:09:13.000 But was that part of the tension in the relationship?

00:09:16.000 Was the experience of Tucker himself and whether he's the gift from God or not?

00:09:20.000 I don't know.

00:09:21.000 The Chad Tucker Carlson and the like soy Jack Rupert Murdoch.

00:09:25.000 A million different memes of this.

00:09:27.000 Yeah, so we decided to get rid of him, I guess.

00:09:29.000 I wonder if it's also because it's not so much about the relationship.

00:09:32.000 I mean, the dude's like 92 years old, but maybe that him hearing her say this, he's like, this man is becoming bigger than my own company.

00:09:38.000 Yeah.

00:09:38.000 You know what I mean?

00:09:39.000 He's like Fox News is me, not Tucker.

00:09:41.000 No, we're getting rid of him.

00:09:42.000 And so, but that's such a bad solution, right?

00:09:44.000 Instead of continuing to make money off of him, I'll just let him go make money without me.

00:09:49.000 You essentially let your ego kind of destroy the company.

00:09:52.000 I mean, those are big shoes to fill.

00:09:53.000 Who's going to step in and be able to fill that time slot and be able to bring the presence and the gravitas that Tucker brings?

00:09:58.000 Nobody.

00:09:59.000 You know what? 0.99

00:10:00.000 I think that they're going to try to... Brian kill me. 0.98

00:10:02.000 Oh yeah, absolutely.

00:10:03.000 He's clearly knocking it out of the park.

00:10:05.000 Give him some time.

00:10:06.000 I mean, I feel bad for anyone who gets put in that time slot.

00:10:09.000 We were talking about this before the show.

00:10:11.000 Well, it's their own fault for taking it.

00:10:12.000 Yeah.

00:10:12.000 Dude, if I was like, if I was contracted at Fox News, Hannity, or Ingram, or anybody, and they were like, you're doing 8pm, I'm like, Hell no, I'm not.

00:10:19.000 Are you crazy? 0.57

00:10:20.000 Especially not now, yeah.

00:10:21.000 Yeah, everybody's ragging on Brian Kilmeade.

00:10:23.000 Nobody cared about Kilmeade before this, but now that he took Tucker's time slot, everybody's making fun of him.

00:10:27.000 Yeah.

00:10:28.000 It's just like, dude, you get dead air.

00:10:29.000 You get nothing at 8pm because nobody wants to take that spot because if Tucker was like, I'm leaving the network, people would be sad.

00:10:36.000 But the fact that they unceremoniously removed him, and it may be because Murdoch was jealous, now it's mega cringe to try and take his time slot.

00:10:45.000 Well, I sort of wonder, too, if they're going to try to replace him with some kind of bad boy-esque figure, since Tucker was the anti-establishment guy, but someone who's still brand safe and doesn't push Fox in a direction that they're uncomfortable going in.

00:10:59.000 Who do they possibly have that could do that?

00:11:01.000 I don't know.

00:11:02.000 Some young upstart that they find.

00:11:04.000 Guys, if you want to find me... No, I'm totally kidding.

00:11:09.000 I would never be allowed on Fox.

00:11:10.000 The whole executive office at Fox is out busting out laughing.

00:11:14.000 I busted out laughing.

00:11:17.000 You cannot hire me.

00:11:19.000 I don't apply.

00:11:20.000 But I really do wonder what they're going to try to do because obviously this guy's going to have to get taken out of the spot.

00:11:26.000 He's not going to perform well.

00:11:27.000 But I wonder if there's another element that people are saying they're removing him right before the election kicks off, right?

00:11:33.000 Trump's running.

00:11:34.000 DeSantis is probably going to start running.

00:11:35.000 They just changed that law in Florida, I think.

00:11:37.000 What is it?

00:11:38.000 The reign to run or whatever it's called?

00:11:40.000 Where you have to resign.

00:11:40.000 Yeah.

00:11:41.000 They got rid of that, didn't they?

00:11:42.000 Yeah.

00:11:43.000 So yeah, it seems like DeSantis is going to run, and Tucker is a powerful voice propping up candidates like Trump or DeSantis.

00:11:51.000 Now he is not there.

00:11:52.000 Right.

00:11:53.000 Yeah, Tucker is, look, I mean, I've interviewed Tucker Carlson for about seven or eight times over the course of the last 15 years.

00:11:53.000 Right.

00:12:00.000 I've known him since 2008.

00:12:01.000 He is, you know, in my book Uncovered, he talks to me about the fact that he was Hunter Biden's neighbor.

00:12:07.000 I mean, this is a guy who was in the establishment in that way.

00:12:12.000 The first chapter of the book is about Hunter Biden's laptop.

00:12:12.000 Oh wow!

00:12:14.000 Tucker tells me, I knew it was real from the minute I saw it because I have emails with

00:12:19.000 me and Hunter Biden talking about trying to get sober.

00:12:22.000 Yeah.

00:12:23.000 So he was in that world.

00:12:24.000 He was in the laptop.

00:12:25.000 He was in that world.

00:12:26.000 He was in the laptop.

00:12:27.000 Yes.

00:12:28.000 In the world, in the laptop, you know, a guy who knew the Biden family.

00:12:30.000 I mean, he tells me in the book that he knew Biden has dementia because he's heard from

00:12:35.000 Biden's family that he had dementia.

00:12:36.000 This was before he ran.

00:12:38.000 So this is a guy who was in that world and then became the turncoat in a lot of the same

00:12:41.000 ways that Trump did in the New York media scene.

00:12:44.000 And so you're not going to be able to find that you're not going to be able to get the

00:12:46.000 guy who knew what was going on in D.C. who knows all the same people and can expose that

00:12:52.000 the left and the right.

00:12:53.000 I mean, he goes after the right harder than anyone else on Fox.

00:12:57.000 If you're looking for a reason why you want a guy like that to not be on the air for the next year, which is like the length of his contract, there's your reason.

00:13:05.000 I mean, he is someone who's a total differentiator from the establishment voice that's on the right or anywhere else.

00:13:10.000 And he's a threat to the entire establishment, left and right.

00:13:13.000 He's done it in the segments on COVID, on military policy, on the expansion of government throughout the years.

00:13:18.000 I mean, he's a guy that can sort of bring down the entire house, just like Donald Trump.

00:13:21.000 Right.

00:13:22.000 Yeah.

00:13:22.000 A lot about China, too, that the media generally doesn't want to go near.

00:13:27.000 I mean, look, in the Dominion text that came out, which were embarrassing for sure, for Fox.

00:13:27.000 Yeah.

00:13:32.000 I mean, obviously they settled the Dominion lawsuit.

00:13:34.000 The text come out, he's really rough on Trump.

00:13:37.000 I mean, he's calling him like this evil guy, essentially.

00:13:40.000 And this was the post-election period and these all come out.

00:13:43.000 You would think, oh, that should be embarrassing.

00:13:44.000 And then two weeks ago, he's sitting down with Trump for an hour-long interview in Mar-a-Lago

00:13:49.000 and praising him in some ways and pushing him in other ways.

00:13:52.000 But this is a guy who can do both those things.

00:13:55.000 He can be critical.

00:13:57.000 He has the credibility.

00:13:59.000 Trump will go.

00:14:00.000 I mean, he was just interviewed about it.

00:14:01.000 What do you think about Tucker losing his job?

00:14:03.000 He's sitting there praising him.

00:14:04.000 This is a guy who's calling him essentially evil in these text messages that are coming

00:14:07.000 out in the wake of the 2020 election.

00:14:09.000 So you lose something massive by not having a voice like that.

00:14:12.000 A guy who really cannot be replaced.

00:14:15.000 I mean, the legacy media industry is every single day, even if they were doing everything right, less and less people are watching traditional TV, less and less people are finding that.

00:14:25.000 So when you're not going to maximize the time you have left by getting someone who is a star, a bonafide star, and you take them off the air, you're Ladies and gentlemen, just a few moments ago, around the start of this show, Tucker Carlson posted a video on Twitter that says, Good evening, I have no idea what he's going to say, so I hope we don't get banned.

00:14:51.000 Here's what he said.

00:14:53.000 One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country.

00:15:00.000 Kind and decent people.

00:15:02.000 People who really care about what's true.

00:15:04.000 And a bunch of hilarious people also.

00:15:07.000 A lot of those.

00:15:08.000 It's got to be the majority of the population, even now.

00:15:11.000 So that's heartening. 0.99

00:15:12.000 The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are. 0.99

00:15:20.000 They're completely irrelevant. 1.00

00:15:22.000 They mean nothing.

00:15:23.000 In five years we won't even remember that we had them.

00:15:26.000 Trust me as someone who's participated.

00:15:29.000 And yet at the same time, and this is the amazing thing, the undeniably big topics, the ones that will define our future, get virtually no discussion at all.

00:15:38.000 War, civil liberties, emerging science, demographic change, corporate power, natural resources.

00:15:46.000 When was the last time you heard a legitimate debate about any of those issues?

00:15:50.000 It's been a long time.

00:15:52.000 Debates like that are not permitted in American media.

00:15:55.000 Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them, and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it.

00:16:06.000 Suddenly, the United States looks very much like a one-party state.

00:16:10.000 That's a depressing realization, but it's not permanent.

00:16:13.000 Our current orthodoxies won't last. 0.99

00:16:16.000 They're brain dead. 0.67

00:16:18.000 Nobody actually believes them. 1.00

00:16:20.000 Hardly anyone's life is improved by them.

00:16:23.000 This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue, and so it won't.

00:16:28.000 The people in charge know this. 0.96

00:16:29.000 That's why they're hysterical and aggressive.

00:16:32.000 They're afraid.

00:16:32.000 They've given up persuasion.

00:16:34.000 They're resorting to force.

00:16:36.000 But it won't work.

00:16:38.000 When honest people say what's true, calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful.

00:16:45.000 At the same time, the liars who've been trying to silence them shrink, and they become weaker.

00:16:50.000 That's the iron law of the universe.

00:16:52.000 True things prevail.

00:16:55.000 Where can you still find Americans saying true things?

00:16:58.000 There aren't many places left, but there are some, and that's enough.

00:17:02.000 As long as you can hear the words, there is hope.

00:17:05.000 See you soon.

00:17:07.000 And he was talking about us.

00:17:08.000 That was all about Tim Kessler IRL.

00:17:11.000 Where can you find the truth?

00:17:12.000 It's right here.

00:17:12.000 Was he in a sauna?

00:17:17.000 That's his studio, I'm pretty sure.

00:17:18.000 I think it's in Maine or something like that.

00:17:20.000 So, that was awesome to hear from him.

00:17:23.000 He's right about all of that.

00:17:24.000 It's really amazing to see that he's become this, like, populist, you know?

00:17:28.000 There's that viral meme we played last night where it shows him in the political compass for authoritarian right, and he's like, the more they have you talking about race, the less time is spent asking about class.

00:17:41.000 Why rich people?

00:17:42.000 And then it shows him, like, shifting to the left and starts playing this communist anthem.

00:17:45.000 Yeah.

00:17:46.000 What do you guys think, man?

00:17:46.000 So I don't know.

00:17:48.000 It was fairly vague.

00:17:49.000 I know that he can't say a whole lot because he's going through that contract stuff.

00:17:53.000 I mean, I think it's pretty it's pretty on brand for how he's been for the last God knows how many years.

00:17:58.000 I mean, it's just it's classic Tucker.

00:18:00.000 Without the high-pitched laughter.

00:18:02.000 But I mean, I think it's, again, maybe he's just sort of trying to flex a little bit and show that he's going to be fine and be able to operate on his own without having to go to a network.

00:18:11.000 I mean, who's going to write... Good evening, it's Tucker Carlson!

00:18:14.000 He just started automatically playing again.

00:18:16.000 Like, who's going to write him a check?

00:18:17.000 Who can afford to pay him?

00:18:19.000 I mean, is boring it off him $500 million to come over to Daily Wire?

00:18:22.000 Like, his best move is to sort of do his thing, and I think we'll probably see More content coming out just independently from him because he's able to do it.

00:18:29.000 And like you said earlier, he built Daily Caller.

00:18:31.000 And he's perfectly capable of building another network and being his own man and not having to be a slave to anybody affiliated with the establishment.

00:18:31.000 Yeah.

00:18:38.000 I mean, does he still own the Daily Caller or something?

00:18:40.000 He sold out, I believe.

00:18:41.000 He sold the shares.

00:18:42.000 What, last year?

00:18:42.000 Yeah, pretty recently.

00:18:43.000 No, I mean, well, first of all, this is just like the quintessential Tucker Carlson, right?

00:18:47.000 It's 8 p.m.

00:18:48.000 when his show starts, when Brian Kilmeade is filling in for him and no one's watching.

00:18:52.000 And he drops this on Twitter and gets everyone talking about it.

00:18:55.000 That's awesome.

00:18:56.000 He's already got almost more viewers than Kilmeade.

00:18:59.000 He's got 107,000 views on this one video he just posted.

00:19:02.000 I mean, that's the thing about the internet versus TV anyway.

00:19:04.000 You get more views on a snippet little video.

00:19:07.000 He could put up a video on TikTok and get more views.

00:19:09.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:19:10.000 Tucker, and that's what I think his next movie is.

00:19:11.000 He's going to start doing TikTok dances and stuff.

00:19:13.000 Yeah, that's what we've all wanted to see.

00:19:14.000 Yeah, he's already got 242,400 views on this video.

00:19:16.000 all wanted to see is.

00:19:17.000 Is he Pope for.

00:19:18.000 Yeah, he's already got 242,400 views.

00:19:22.000 Oh my God.

00:19:23.000 On this video and I'm assuming it's Twitter, so it's mostly key demo.

00:19:27.000 Right.

00:19:29.000 I feel bad for Kilmeade, man.

00:19:30.000 I got no beef, you know, but like, what are you doing?

00:19:33.000 But this is also like the shift, right?

00:19:35.000 I mean, yes, traditional ratings, there's not exactly apples to apples with views on YouTube or Twitter or whatever.

00:19:41.000 But that is a Very, very small number.

00:19:44.000 I mean, it wasn't that long ago that that three million number at Fox was five million.

00:19:48.000 We're talking about five years ago.

00:19:50.000 I mean, it was just the way the audience is shifting is happening.

00:19:53.000 But yeah, look, Tucker started Daily Caller in between his time at MSNBC, which is, you know, kind of funny to think.

00:20:00.000 He was a host on MSNBC.

00:20:02.000 He gave Rachel Maddow her start.

00:20:03.000 I mean, this is a guy who has had a very fascinating career.

00:20:07.000 Starts Daily Caller.

00:20:08.000 I remember I interviewed him in 2010.

00:20:10.000 He had bought KeithOberman.com.

00:20:12.000 He found out that KeithOberman.com was available for sale, and so he buys it.

00:20:16.000 He gets the email address Keith at KeithOberman.com. 0.96

00:20:19.000 And just to fuck with Keith, he starts emailing people as if he's Keith Oberman to start scaring people. 0.97

00:20:25.000 I interviewed him about it, and he's just talking about how he's the most hated man in the building. 0.99

00:20:28.000 I mean, Keith's still at MSNBC.

00:20:31.000 So he just uses it.

00:20:32.000 He's funny.

00:20:33.000 He's smart.

00:20:34.000 He's different.

00:20:35.000 And look, apparently now he's free to at least drop some videos every now and then.

00:20:40.000 Did you hear this thing about this woman accusing of sexism? 1.00

00:20:42.000 Yeah.

00:20:44.000 His old booker said that he and others destroyed her.

00:20:48.000 We have this story from the Postmillennial.

00:20:49.000 I saw this on Twitter.

00:20:50.000 Ex-producer suing Tucker Carlson has never even met him.

00:20:55.000 What the?

00:20:56.000 How do they hire these people?

00:20:58.000 Like, does Fox have a vetting process where they're just like, right this way, sir, and walk through the door?

00:21:03.000 And that's it?

00:21:04.000 They're like, do you agree with us?

00:21:07.000 We don't know?

00:21:07.000 Okay, well, come on in.

00:21:09.000 This person has apparently, according to her interview with MSNBC yesterday, has 90 tapes, has spent her entire career apparently at Fox just recording people, ready to drop this.

00:21:20.000 Yes, never met Tucker Carlson, really has no real beef with Tucker personally as trying to make it about Tucker's staff and the culture that he's started there.

00:21:30.000 I think she potentially has him on tape saying some things that are sexist or whatever she wants to try to portray there.

00:21:37.000 I don't buy it.

00:21:39.000 No, no, of course.

00:21:40.000 Did you see those, they're saying they got secret recordings of Ted Cruz?

00:21:43.000 Oh yeah, I think from her.

00:21:45.000 And Ted Cruz, he's saying something, yeah, probably, he's talking to Maria Bartiromo and he's like, he says something to the effect of, if there's gonna be some kind of challenge to the election, then you've got to have an actual sanctioned commission that reviews the evidence, and then if the evidence is there, you present it.

00:22:03.000 That's what he says, and the left is like, he's trying to overthrow the election!

00:22:07.000 It's like, it sounds like Ted Cruz is trying to stop them from doing it, being like, no, no, no, you gotta go through the formal process and get a commission set up before you can do any of this, and they're using Ted Cruz resisting this stuff as evidence he was in favor of it.

00:22:24.000 Yeah, honestly, just to stick with Tucker for a second, the person who was the strongest against the election fraud stuff On the air at Fox was Tucker Carlson.

00:22:34.000 He did a 15-minute monologue that was really powerful that just completely obliterated Sidney Powell.

00:22:40.000 Why won't Sidney Powell come on my show and talk about this?

00:22:43.000 I'll give her the whole night.

00:22:44.000 I'll give her the whole week.

00:22:45.000 She won't come on.

00:22:46.000 We've asked for evidence.

00:22:47.000 She won't show it.

00:22:48.000 We're telling you this because it's true.

00:22:49.000 I mean, that's the kind of person he was.

00:22:51.000 And separate from that, Just the entire, we're still seeing this now, it's three years later, everything that can be part of the, what I would call the Trump addiction in the corporate media, which I think all of this election stuff is.

00:23:03.000 They're going to try to make the story of Ted Cruz's comment that's like the most Ted Cruz thing possible.

00:23:08.000 I mean, it's just like this lawyer who's talking about, oh, well, you know, like.

00:23:12.000 You gotta have a commission.

00:23:15.000 Insurrectionist.

00:23:16.000 He's literally describing a process.

00:23:18.000 He wants to take over the government!

00:23:21.000 He's demanding hard evidence and a formal hearing to look at the evidence and their

00:23:27.000 immediate response is, it was a coup attempt.

00:23:29.000 Right.

00:23:30.000 But this is why people don't trust the corporate media.

00:23:32.000 I mean, it's honestly, I write about this a lot in Uncovered.

00:23:35.000 It's like, there starts with the seed of something, whether it's the Steele dossier, Russiagate,

00:23:41.000 the media covers something in a specific way.

00:23:43.000 I call it glance journalism.

00:23:45.000 You get it at a glance, an initial story, and then they just move on to the next thing.

00:23:50.000 And they never go back and start to correct it.

00:23:52.000 They're so addicted to Trump and to anything that's kind of the ancillary, the January 6th or the election process, so addicted to it.

00:23:59.000 And the average American, Left, right, or center is not in that same mindset.

00:24:04.000 I mean, they are not just completely addicted in the way that these media people are.

00:24:08.000 I've talked to people that could not sleep, that had to take pills because they were just so overcome with No, I think they were driven insane.

00:24:18.000 fight with Donald Trump during the Trump presidency and it made them completely

00:24:23.000 put the guardrails of journalism out when they tried to to try to take him

00:24:27.000 down and it was so obvious to the audience and to this day I mean they

00:24:31.000 have not learned a single lesson. No I think they were driven insane. Yeah. And I

00:24:35.000 don't think it was Trump I think it was social media algorithms because there's

00:24:39.000 there's no real reason to be so mad at Trump. Yeah.

00:24:41.000 Any reasonable person who's like, man, if you were looking at Trump and you genuinely didn't like him, because you didn't like his policies or his attitude, you wouldn't be screaming that he was Hitler.

00:24:50.000 You'd just be like, I don't like this guy.

00:24:53.000 They got driven to the extreme end because the internet was screaming as loud as possible in their faces.

00:24:57.000 Exactly.

00:24:58.000 So, for example, with somebody like Joe Biden, I mean, I detest absolutely everything the man stands for.

00:25:03.000 I don't have to take sleeping pills because he's the president.

00:25:07.000 It's insane to have such a small, petty outlook on life.

00:25:11.000 My goal is to go after this person and take them down.

00:25:14.000 For some bizarre reason, they saw him as the embodiment of every principle that they hated, despite the fact that he was basically a New York Democrat in many ways, at least with respect to his economic policy decision-making.

00:25:25.000 He was more socially conservative, but even there, he was like, Somewhere between center-right and centrist.

00:25:30.000 This was not some far-right political leader.

00:25:32.000 And even if he was to be, even if he was, you know, on the actual right by American standards or far-right or however they would have defined it, To not be able to sleep over the guy?

00:25:43.000 You're out of your mind.

00:25:46.000 Let's talk about some presidential prospects.

00:25:48.000 From the post-millennial, we have this story.

00:25:49.000 Greg Gutfeld jokes Tucker Carlson will run for president after leaving Fox News.

00:25:54.000 Granted, he's joking.

00:25:56.000 He said in 2024 it would be Susan Rice vs. Tucker Carlson.

00:26:00.000 And then you can see that the post-millennial's got some, what is that, CSS code or something? 0.96

00:26:06.000 I'm going to highlight that so that Libby sees it and goes, crap! 1.00

00:26:10.000 Libby, what are you doing? 0.96

00:26:11.000 The Gutfeld host made the comments while appearing on Fox News, The Five, alongside other Fox personalities.

00:26:16.000 The panelists then brought up Democrat Susan Rice, President Biden's White House domestic policy advisor, who announced she would be departing from her post on Monday, which had the Fox News personalities predicting she would be a contender in the 2024 election.

00:26:27.000 So he's kind of joking, but kind of not.

00:26:30.000 And I'm wondering now, somebody, so the conversation is Trump-Carlson 2024, but then there was a question, I don't know if it was you were asking it, Adrian, DeSantis-Carlson maybe?

00:26:42.000 That'd be a ticket.

00:26:43.000 Now here's the thing, if the Republican primary is between DeSantis-Carlson and Trump, I'm a happy man, right?

00:26:49.000 If these are the kinds of candidates we're getting, because look at what it was back in 2016, right?

00:26:54.000 Trump was the only person who had politics that were remotely interesting, besides I guess Ron Paul.

00:26:58.000 We almost had.

00:26:59.000 We were very, very close to fixing the system and getting everything done right with Jeb.

00:26:59.000 Sorry.

00:27:05.000 Exactly, Jeb.

00:27:07.000 I mean, you knew where I was going.

00:27:09.000 All we have had for years and years, decades, are these boring establishment candidates who just want to go along with whatever their donors tell them.

00:27:18.000 But we got that meme of Jeb with the entire map turning yellow for Jeb.

00:27:21.000 I don't disagree that we should have picked Jeb, but we missed out.

00:27:24.000 To be real, Jeb is the one that got away.

00:27:27.000 There's no getting Jeb back.

00:27:29.000 He's out of our life.

00:27:29.000 He's gone.

00:27:30.000 I thought where you were going with that was being serious about it, because honestly, we almost got Trump versus Bernie in 2020.

00:27:38.000 It's still amazing to me that we didn't get Bernie.

00:27:41.000 Bernie was clearly the frontrunner.

00:27:43.000 Bernie was leading the charge against the Democrat establishment, and then got to the DNC, stopped, turned around, and said, you are all trespassing, and you must leave!

00:27:54.000 So it was like, he let everyone there and then just immediately joined with Hillary.

00:27:58.000 And then he was like, if you want to be a millionaire, you write a book.

00:28:01.000 Yeah, but that's 2016.

00:28:02.000 In 2020, he was, I mean, they went to Nevada, and I read about this on Covered, MSNBC, Joy Reid, people like that, went after Bernie Sanders, went after Chris Matthews when he was still back on the air before he got me too'd.

00:28:16.000 They went completely all in on Joe Biden because they needed to stop him in the same way that Mayor Pete and Amy Klobuchar dropped out and endorsed Biden.

00:28:24.000 Right before Super Tuesday.

00:28:25.000 I mean, these people were contenders.

00:28:27.000 I mean, not huge contenders, but they all galvanized in the same way the politics did, the media did.

00:28:32.000 This is the best thing.

00:28:33.000 This is the best thing.

00:28:34.000 Hear this, my friends.

00:28:36.000 So Buttigieg drops out of the race, endorses Joe Biden.

00:28:40.000 It's obvious.

00:28:40.000 Why?

00:28:42.000 They were siphoning away votes, they were breaking the moderate vote, and Bernie was then taking the lead.

00:28:47.000 If Klobuchar, Buttigieg, if they drop out and endorse Biden, Biden gets a big bump, beats Bernie Sanders.

00:28:53.000 Likely what happens is that Joe Biden goes to them and says, I will make you a deal.

00:28:58.000 Pete, you drop out, we got a job for you.

00:29:01.000 He says, okay, you got it.

00:29:03.000 How about something cushy, a do-nothing job like transportation secretary?

00:29:07.000 You don't have to pay attention to anything there!

00:29:10.000 And Pete's like, so you're saying I don't have to do any work?

00:29:13.000 It's like, what's the job?

00:29:14.000 You look at a screen and some truck's driving by, you don't have to do anything.

00:29:17.000 Nobody pays attention.

00:29:18.000 When's the last time you saw a transportation secretary on TV? 1.00

00:29:21.000 And now look where we are!

00:29:23.000 But for real, that's probably what happened!

00:29:25.000 So he drops out, they're like, the job is yours, and then a train blows up, and he's like, not there!

00:29:30.000 I thought this was supposed to be an easy job, what's going on here?

00:29:33.000 I also think this is not necessarily an original insight, other people have said this, this is something Dave Smith has said before too, but There is something to be said about the fact that the way Bernie treated the people he was running against didn't really match his rhetoric about the fact that they were screwing the working class, right?

00:29:51.000 Trump's treatment of other political leaders matches his rhetoric on how he feels about political leaders.

00:29:57.000 He's not nice to them.

00:29:58.000 And then Bernie Sanders gets on stage.

00:30:00.000 He's like, oh, well, of course I love these people.

00:30:02.000 They are my best friends.

00:30:04.000 It's like, okay, well, you're not exactly selling to people that you genuinely want to fight them, but also, what did Bernie do?

00:30:09.000 He endorsed Hillary, and then he endorsed Joe Biden, so they knew they could take it from him.

00:30:13.000 Donald Trump wasn't going to endorse any other Republican if he didn't get the nomination, so they knew they had to give it to him.

00:30:19.000 The way I like to describe it is there's this big ivory tower and Bernie comes from the left up the hill with a bunch of angry, you know, leftists.

00:30:26.000 And then Trump comes up on the right with a bunch of angry right-wingers.

00:30:29.000 And then they're both standing on each side and the elites are looking down like, oh, what do we do?

00:30:33.000 What do we do?

00:30:34.000 And then Bernie is like, I am humbly asking that you open the door.

00:30:38.000 And then they're like...

00:30:40.000 Okay.

00:30:40.000 And they let Bernie in.

00:30:41.000 Knock, knock. 0.93

00:30:42.000 And then Bernie's like, I'm gonna go inside real quick and work something out with them.

00:30:46.000 And then next thing you know, Bernie's sticking his head out the window being like, get out of here!

00:30:49.000 But then Trump kicks the door in and just starts rampaging through the halls like a bull.

00:30:49.000 Get out!

00:30:54.000 It's an insurrection.

00:30:55.000 And they're freaking out.

00:30:56.000 They're like, it's insurrection!

00:30:57.000 It's insurrection!

00:30:58.000 Help us!

00:30:59.000 And then Tucker Carlson releases the security camera footage of what happened after they broke down the door of the castle.

00:31:03.000 And then Bernie's running away with them.

00:31:05.000 Yeah.

00:31:05.000 It's like the Bernie becoming a millionaire is the perfect example of what's wrong with Bernie Sanders.

00:31:11.000 Yes.

00:31:11.000 When he has, what, four houses?

00:31:13.000 Three houses?

00:31:14.000 Something like that.

00:31:14.000 Yeah.

00:31:15.000 What was his recent book?

00:31:16.000 His book was like, Why It's Wrong to Be a Millionaire or something like that.

00:31:20.000 He stopped saying millionaires when he became one.

00:31:23.000 He would say, the millionaires and the billionaires.

00:31:25.000 Then he became a millionaire and he stopped saying it.

00:31:27.000 And I'm like, Bernie, you don't have to stop saying it because you're rich.

00:31:29.000 There are people of $999 million. 0.97

00:31:32.000 You can make that point, but he's a grifter.

00:31:35.000 So that was it.

00:31:36.000 Talk about a letdown.

00:31:38.000 Look, when you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire, too.

00:31:42.000 As if the publishing industry doesn't follow the same mechanisms that socialists criticize in other industries.

00:31:48.000 Like, well, what about the logger who cut down the trees that were then turned into the paper, Bernie?

00:31:53.000 And what about the people operating the printing press?

00:31:54.000 Like, why don't they all get an equal share in the profits of your book?

00:31:58.000 The World Socialist website called Bernie Sanders a nationalist capitalist.

00:32:02.000 No joke.

00:32:03.000 What is it?

00:32:04.000 The World Socialist website called Bernie Sanders a nationalist capitalist.

00:32:08.000 Wow.

00:32:09.000 Because he's in favor of capitalist structures, even though he's far left, he still is talking about capitalist structures, and he wants to secure the borders so that he can protect workers.

00:32:19.000 He had a quote at a rally where he said, we can't have open borders, my god, the people, they would all just flood in.

00:32:25.000 And then they were like, how dare you, you nationalist capitalist!

00:32:29.000 Didn't he call it a Koch brothers scheme?

00:32:31.000 In 2015, he said open borders is a Koch brothers proposal to get cheap labor.

00:32:36.000 I mean, it's amazing to me how Democrats claim they're in favor of unions.

00:32:41.000 They know that a scab entering into a workplace when they're not a member of a union could drive wages down. 0.61

00:32:48.000 But when you place that or abstract that onto a national scale, They're unwilling to recognize that that's true.

00:32:55.000 Well, wait a minute.

00:32:55.000 What about, like, the literal union that we call, like, the United States of America?

00:33:00.000 Don't you think someone entering into our union who isn't playing by the same rules and isn't becoming a registered member, taking jobs, might lower average wages for the people who are already in the country?

00:33:13.000 But for whatever reason, the principal stops operating there.

00:33:15.000 Yeah, that's why immigration, honestly, was the biggest issue, you know, cross party for Donald Trump, I think.

00:33:21.000 But honestly, like, I hate to go back to Tucker again, but another thing he said, it's like, even Trump gets in there.

00:33:27.000 And yes, he was totally anti-establishment, anti-elite.

00:33:29.000 That's what got him in.

00:33:30.000 But Tucker told me for the book that, you know, he gets in there and he puts Steve Mnuchin in Treasury or a lot of the people that he put in these positions.

00:33:38.000 A lot of the things that he said, and this is some of the things that Tucker has been critical of Trump about more recently, is when he actually got in there.

00:33:45.000 You drain the swamp, all that.

00:33:48.000 And yes, he said the right things, but ultimately, how did he govern?

00:33:52.000 There's still some criticism there.

00:33:53.000 And actually, I think a candidate who really wants to go after Trump from the right, like at DeSantis, I don't know if he's got it in him, would be to say, well, you got in there, COVID, whatever else, border.

00:34:04.000 Did you actually do what you said you were gonna do and break up the actual elite establishment that you claim to be doing?

00:34:11.000 Somewhat, but only a little bit and not enough.

00:34:14.000 Not enough, but enough to where I'm looking forward to Trump getting revenge with Schedule F. And I think what really makes this work is, if Trump just had his term, and then lost, and there was no Russiagate, and there was no impeachment and all that stuff, I wouldn't know if I'd be so enthused.

00:34:30.000 I'd be like, well, you know, we had Trump, like, maybe DeSantis is gonna work out, I don't know.

00:34:34.000 But the fact that they've gone after Trump so heavy-handedly, the fact that they're trying to indict him in three different jurisdictions, I'm like, okay, So now we're going to get that equal and opposite reaction that I'm excited about.

00:34:47.000 They came at Trump super hard and he's ready to come back, schedule a laugh, lock down, take it.

00:34:53.000 I love it.

00:34:54.000 Yeah.

00:34:55.000 I mean, the Hunter Biden laptop story, just like the icing on the cake of the Trump presidency, I mean, the way that the media, you know, In collusion with tech companies, in collusion with the FBI, as we now know thanks to the Twitter files, locked down that story.

00:34:55.000 Yeah.

00:34:55.000 I'm ready for it.

00:35:11.000 And the fact that it has become so obvious that it was true, I mean, it was obviously it was true when it actually was being written, but the way the media covered it, and then what we now know, has just made that just so clear to everyone that if that moved a few thousand votes, a couple, you know, 30,000 votes, that would have made an enormous difference in the election.

00:35:30.000 And the fact that they did that That will stick with people, I think.

00:35:34.000 It's a media story, but it's a politics story.

00:35:37.000 Yeah, there was a poll done on that as well.

00:35:41.000 A very large percentage of Biden voters had absolutely no idea about the Hunter Biden story, and about 10% of people who voted for Biden who were surveyed said if they had known about the Hunter Biden laptop story, they would not have voted for Joe.

00:35:53.000 Yeah, I think it was like 16%, but that was enough to have swung the election depending on where those voters were.

00:35:57.000 But let's talk about the latest revelation.

00:35:59.000 So this is huge news.

00:36:01.000 There's a letter released by Jim Jordan showing that, what's his name, Michael Morell, is that his name?

00:36:06.000 Former CIA director.

00:36:08.000 Outright said that he told people the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation because he wanted to help Joe Biden win.

00:36:16.000 Right, right.

00:36:17.000 At the direction of Tony Blinken, who's now the Secretary of State.

00:36:21.000 And I think he talked to Biden, too, didn't he?

00:36:23.000 Yeah.

00:36:24.000 I think, you know, Biden was involved, but it was through the intermediary, Tony Blinken, who only, of course, you know, talk about people like Mayor Pete getting promoted.

00:36:32.000 Tony Blinken, of course, now in a very prime position there as Secretary of State.

00:36:36.000 And this story does not get covered very, very much in the corporate media these days.

00:36:39.000 I mean, this came out in a House Judiciary panel.

00:36:42.000 Mike Morrell, not a partisan guy at all, but just is asked to tell what happened here.

00:36:48.000 Well, no, he is.

00:36:49.000 I mean, he said he wanted Biden to win.

00:36:50.000 Mike Morrell, well, yes, but not, you know, he was doing the bidding of Tony Blinken, a trustworthy person.

00:36:57.000 Let's just say that.

00:36:57.000 I mean, this is not someone who's like, you know, trying to, to, right, I mean, to your point, a guy from the left is essentially admitting to what he was doing.

00:37:06.000 That story, I mean, again, a companion to the Hunter Biden laptop lack of coverage was that story, which, you know, the way that, yes, CNN's of the world, and I've talked to a lot of people at CNN about this.

00:37:06.000 Yeah.

00:37:20.000 Okay, you didn't say it was Russian disinformation, but you put that letter out there.

00:37:24.000 They said it was.

00:37:25.000 50 former agents.

00:37:27.000 And those people who you pay, in many instances, people like Clapper and Brennan, are getting paychecks from MSNBC and CNN.

00:37:35.000 They're the ones who are telling you, look, looks like Russian disinformation to us.

00:37:38.000 You know, we're the experts, you know, experts again.

00:37:41.000 Take a look at this.

00:37:41.000 We got this story from the Examiner.

00:37:42.000 It says Morel, who testified to Congress earlier this month about the laptop letter, said he thought now Secretary of State Antony Blinken wanted the baseless claims of Russian involvement in the saga made public.

00:37:52.000 The former Obama-acting CIA director told House investigators that before his October 17th call with Blinken, he had no intention to write the October 19th Hunter Biden laptop letter, and testified yes and absolutely when asked if the call with Blinken, who was the top advisor for Biden's 2020 campaign, was what triggered that intent in you.

00:38:12.000 Morell also said in a recent transcribed interview with congressional investigators that it was his guess that Blinken called him to talk about the Hunter Biden laptop because the future Secretary of State wanted it out in the public that the Russians were somehow involved in the saga.

00:38:25.000 He also testified that one of the two reasons he helped put the letter together was to help now President Joe Biden, quote, because I wanted him to win the election.

00:38:35.000 Hey, how about that?

00:38:38.000 What a time to be alive, huh?

00:38:40.000 Insane.

00:38:40.000 And no punishment for blatant election interference.

00:38:43.000 But you know, a question that I have is, these guys weaponized this entire process to win the 2020 election, right?

00:38:49.000 You got a bunch of former Intel guys partnering with social media Engaging in this clear manipulation of multiple systems just to get their guy in.

00:38:57.000 They were able to, even if you don't want to discuss the issue of election fraud, they were able to weaponize the system enough to be able to prevent Trump from getting reelected when he wielded the full power of the executive branch of the United States government.

00:39:12.000 What has changed?

00:39:14.000 And let me add one other point in here too.

00:39:16.000 We have numerous states like Pennsylvania that change election laws in the run-up to the election to give Democrats an advantage and prevent Trump from getting in.

00:39:23.000 And Republicans were involved in that.

00:39:25.000 Right.

00:39:25.000 So what has changed since 2020 that this deep state apparatus would allow him back in now when they've already weaponized a system to prevent him from getting in in 2020?

00:39:35.000 What's the play?

00:39:37.000 I don't know if I would phrase it as prevent him.

00:39:40.000 I think what they're trying to do is slant things as heavily as possible in their favor.

00:39:45.000 And that, I think, is the game.

00:39:47.000 And I think Republicans need to pay attention to that.

00:39:50.000 They spent too long coming out screaming, fraud, fraud, fraud, instead of screaming, how are they getting these ballots?

00:39:57.000 How are they doing it?

00:39:58.000 And then just doing the same thing.

00:40:00.000 Ballot chasing, harvesting. 0.86

00:40:02.000 NOW Trump is coming out and being like, we're going to do the same thing.

00:40:05.000 Now you're hearing Republicans come out and say, okay, we figured it out, we're going to play the game they're playing.

00:40:09.000 Now I think these advantages may be lost.

00:40:11.000 Because if Republicans actually start playing the same game, it's going to slowly bounce out.

00:40:15.000 Though, universal mail-in voting greatly advantages Democrats in dense populated areas, and it's very hard for people in rural areas to get the word out and things like that.

00:40:25.000 But I think I think Republicans can now, understanding what happened in the past two elections, start utilizing that properly.

00:40:31.000 So we'll see.

00:40:32.000 I'm not, I don't want to be blackmailed on this one.

00:40:34.000 Well, I think you're right.

00:40:35.000 I mean, the last two elections, because that clearly was a factor in 2022 also in the midterm.

00:40:39.000 Absolutely.

00:40:40.000 The fact that they hadn't made those adjustments at that point was a clear thing.

00:40:43.000 But I also think, you know, going back to something you said earlier about the social media incentives.

00:40:49.000 What was the real story about this?

00:40:51.000 I mean, why did so many in the media not cover this?

00:40:54.000 When I went back and started looking for the book about why was the press covered that, you know, why do they cover it this way?

00:41:00.000 There were people like Maggie Haberman at the New York Times who linked to the New York Post, just said, oh, I question the sourcing of it.

00:41:06.000 I don't know.

00:41:06.000 This seems a little shady.

00:41:08.000 And she got Trending on Twitter as MAGA Haberman because she linked to the New York Post.

00:41:12.000 Wow!

00:41:13.000 Even because she was, so Jake Sherman, who's now at Punchbowl, he was at Politico at the time.

00:41:18.000 MAGA Haberman! 0.99

00:41:19.000 Yeah, he tweets it also.

00:41:20.000 I wonder if the Biden campaign will respond to this.

00:41:22.000 He gets pilloried by people, is forced to delete it, and apologizes for daring to link to the New York Post.

00:41:28.000 So there's such a guilt that happens.

00:41:32.000 And there's no backbone by a lot of these journalists.

00:41:34.000 And if they get a bunch of people yelling at them on Twitter, they're going to just do what the mob says.

00:41:38.000 And so that's not changing either.

00:41:40.000 That's only getting worse, I think, in this new era.

00:41:42.000 I think Republicans are starting to wake up.

00:41:44.000 And just some people I've talked to sort of behind the scenes, there's this realization that, yeah, we have to do more than we've done in the past to win elections.

00:41:50.000 We've got to do ballot harvesting.

00:41:51.000 But In general, we have to sort of build out just a bigger ground game because Democrats have a billion-dollar machine that's been in place for decades.

00:41:59.000 Republicans don't have that.

00:42:00.000 Republicans have a system where the donor class sort of gives money to the RNC who doles it out how they see fit, where on the Democrats' side, they have all these organizations that have been built out at the grassroots level.

00:42:10.000 These billionaire donors give to those organizations and, you know, the party is a little bit further down the list.

00:42:15.000 So there's a whole machine apparatus that needs to be built on the right.

00:42:19.000 It seems like people are more inclined to actually do the work right now and want to build those things out.

00:42:24.000 Scott Pressler is a guy who's running across the country right now trying to register voters, trying to spread the word about ballot harvesting and do what he can to build those systems out.

00:42:34.000 And I think As far as what I'm seeing, even just this week Charlie Kirk posted about this.

00:42:38.000 There's more of a focus now on doing the work that's needed to build out those systems to try to give Trump the best chance, or whoever's the nominee, most likely Trump.

00:42:46.000 But whatever Republican candidate has the best chance to win the election next year.

00:42:49.000 But here's the plan.

00:42:50.000 We need to use their platform against them.

00:42:54.000 The strategies they have, they've used against us, we're gonna use against them.

00:42:57.000 So when they say, vote blue no matter who, here's the pitch.

00:43:00.000 Donald Trump runs as a Democrat, we all then vote for him in the primary, and now they have to vote for him.

00:43:06.000 They literally have no choice.

00:43:07.000 Boom.

00:43:07.000 Checkmate, Democrats.

00:43:08.000 That's beautiful.

00:43:09.000 That's right.

00:43:10.000 It's gonna be like, I'm sorry?

00:43:11.000 Vote blue no matter who!

00:43:12.000 And they're like, but Donald Trump!

00:43:14.000 Those are your rules.

00:43:16.000 And then they're gonna have to press the button for Trump.

00:43:18.000 Oh, and that's how he wins.

00:43:20.000 But it is funny that they say vote blue no matter who because it clearly shows that you could put literally anything in the office.

00:43:26.000 They don't care as long as they're hurting you.

00:43:28.000 That's crazy.

00:43:30.000 When was the last time Fetterman was seen?

00:43:32.000 Recently.

00:43:34.000 I mean, it was kind of sad.

00:43:35.000 Yeah.

00:43:35.000 I mean, really, really sad.

00:43:36.000 I tried to read a statement.

00:43:37.000 Legitimately sad.

00:43:38.000 Yeah, he's talking really weird.

00:43:40.000 He's struggling to form words.

00:43:42.000 He can't, he can, he clearly can't understand the responses he's getting and then he just ignores them.

00:43:47.000 Right.

00:43:47.000 He'll, like, ask a question.

00:43:48.000 He'll be like, can you explain to me why and if Biden is president and then they say something and he goes, Now, have you seen, and it's like, well, did you, are you going to answer the first thing they said?

00:44:05.000 Like he just, boop, just didn't happen, I guess.

00:44:07.000 Yeah.

00:44:07.000 And that's with someone literally running around next to him with a screen in front of him that has the words, you know, the closed captioning happening and still is not really comprehending.

00:44:15.000 No, but they'll take whatever they can get as long as not a Republican.

00:44:18.000 Yeah.

00:44:19.000 Well, I mean, you got Biden now, too.

00:44:20.000 Right.

00:44:20.000 Running again.

00:44:21.000 And it's like, are we doing this?

00:44:23.000 I mean, it's hilarious, dude.

00:44:25.000 I don't think I don't think Biden can win.

00:44:27.000 I don't know.

00:44:28.000 I will.

00:44:28.000 I will be laughing come twenty twenty four when I find out I'm wrong or whatever.

00:44:31.000 But Biden had the covid lockdown advantage.

00:44:35.000 He didn't do anything or go anywhere.

00:44:37.000 Now they're saying there's going to be no debates.

00:44:39.000 Have you guys heard this?

00:44:40.000 Yeah.

00:44:40.000 No debates at all.

00:44:42.000 None.

00:44:42.000 On either side.

00:44:43.000 On either side.

00:44:44.000 It's none.

00:44:45.000 I just, this is crazy.

00:44:47.000 But whatever, I guess.

00:44:48.000 Trump's going to try to get out of them.

00:44:50.000 But I mean, there's got to be RNC debates.

00:44:52.000 You know, he obviously is a former president, but he's not the incumbent.

00:44:55.000 So they've got to do RNC debates and whether he's there or not.

00:44:59.000 DNC, I could, if you really have a feel that's Joe Biden, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

00:45:04.000 and Marianne Williamson, I could see them really just saying, you know, you're on your own.

00:45:08.000 You know, it's going to be Biden here.

00:45:09.000 Although, again, I don't know how you galvanize behind a person that you haven't met yet.

00:45:14.000 I got it.

00:45:14.000 Here's what we'll do. We will host the Democratic debates here at Tim Guest IRL.

00:45:18.000 Right here.

00:45:19.000 But what likely will happen is Biden won't come. But guess what? I am willing to bet

00:45:25.000 RFK Jr. will.

00:45:28.000 Yeah.

00:45:28.000 And so would Marianne Williamson.

00:45:30.000 For sure.

00:45:31.000 Yeah.

00:45:31.000 And if we're like, look, we'll do a legit, we'll get a forum, we'll get a, we'll rent a building.

00:45:36.000 We'll get a, you know, an actual theater. We'll have anyone who wants to run.

00:45:42.000 And the interesting thing is, these are prominent figures, RFK Jr.

00:45:45.000 and Marianne Williamson, but I wonder if any other establishment Democrat who wants to run would actually come. 0.92

00:45:50.000 Yeah.

00:45:51.000 Right?

00:45:51.000 Isn't, who else is running?

00:45:52.000 What's his, what's his face?

00:45:55.000 Man, I don't know.

00:45:56.000 On the Democrat side?

00:45:57.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:45:58.000 I don't know if there's anyone else.

00:46:01.000 Have you interviewed RFK?

00:46:02.000 Yeah, uh, yes.

00:46:04.000 Here we go.

00:46:05.000 Hutchinson.

00:46:06.000 He's on GOP.

00:46:07.000 Oh, it's GOP.

00:46:08.000 Asa Hutchinson, yeah.

00:46:09.000 Oh, whoops. 1.00

00:46:10.000 I'm an idiot. 1.00

00:46:10.000 No, he's, I mean, he's... Okay, he's running his establishment enough that... Right, I know, I was just like, he's one of those guys, isn't he? 1.00

00:46:17.000 He's a pretty never-Trumper. 0.97

00:46:18.000 I'm pretty sure we've reached out to RFK Jr.' 's team.

00:46:19.000 He's a fascinating guy.

00:46:20.000 You see how I got confused.

00:46:21.000 Yes.

00:46:22.000 If you spend all your days in like cable news green rooms, then you're basically a Democrat

00:46:25.000 at this point.

00:46:26.000 Right.

00:46:27.000 So is it just RFK Jr. then and Megan Williamson?

00:46:28.000 I think so far.

00:46:29.000 Oh, that's fantastic.

00:46:30.000 Yeah.

00:46:31.000 We, uh, we, I'm pretty sure we've reached out to RFK Jr.'s team and...

00:46:35.000 He'd be a great, I mean, he's a fascinating guy.

00:46:37.000 Super smart.

00:46:38.000 Um, you know, we've, at the Megan Kelly show, we've interviewed him a couple of times.

00:46:42.000 And, you know, had to keep an eye out to make sure we could keep it all live on YouTube and all platforms.

00:46:49.000 We will do the Democratic debates live on Rumble with Marian Williamson and RFK Jr.

00:46:56.000 And Joe Biden will be invited.

00:46:57.000 We'll say, hey man, just let us know what you need.

00:47:00.000 You're invited, absolutely.

00:47:01.000 We'll have anything you need to make this debate happen.

00:47:03.000 And then when he says no, he just won't be at the debates.

00:47:06.000 Right.

00:47:06.000 Empty podium, just like any other.

00:47:08.000 I think that'd be, I'd watch that.

00:47:09.000 And I think Marianne Williamson and RFK Jr.

00:47:12.000 would have like a legitimate debate.

00:47:14.000 When they had her on, like there was so much screwing around.

00:47:19.000 You know, was it like Andrew Yang's mic got cut off?

00:47:21.000 Yeah.

00:47:22.000 Do you remember that?

00:47:22.000 Yeah.

00:47:23.000 And he's just going like, Mouthing and like nothing's happening.

00:47:26.000 I explained that if it was Donald Trump and they cut his mic, he would lean over and grab the other person's mic and go, excuse me, excuse me, my microphone is off.

00:47:33.000 I need... That's Trump.

00:47:35.000 That's why Trump wins.

00:47:36.000 Because Trump would not let them silence him and there's nothing they can do if he if he's like steps out of line and says, no, I'm talking.

00:47:43.000 Well that's the thing, he's polite to people, or he's not polite to people who aren't being polite to him, and so often that's what the establishment depends upon.

00:47:50.000 They crap all over everyone who's an outsider and tries to stand up to them, and then they go, oh, sorry, yes, I'm sorry, okay, I'll go along with it.

00:47:57.000 We saw this with Republicans time and time again. 1.00

00:47:59.000 You're racist, you're sexist, you're homophobic, you're terrible, or they would just ask them questions where that was the subtext, and they'd go, I just want to be very sensitive to your concern, and I want you to know I really do care about you and your values, and Trump will be like, you're an idiot, shut up. 1.00

00:48:13.000 It's like, great, that's kind of what they deserve. 1.00

00:48:15.000 Well, Trump's not mean to people who aren't mean to him.

00:48:17.000 No, that's what I'm saying.

00:48:18.000 In fact, no, no, when it came to the bump stock ban, when they go to Trump and they say, let's work together, he goes, okay, and then he agrees with them.

00:48:26.000 If the Democrats went to Trump and they said, you're so smart, your policies are amazing, we think you're going to be the best, here's what you need to do, he'll go, absolutely, I agree, and he would sign it.

00:48:36.000 In fact, he actually said in an interview with Tucker recently, he was talking about how Gavin Newsom was so nice to him.

00:48:41.000 And the real story is that Gavin Newsom understood how to play Trump.

00:48:44.000 You be nice to him, you ask for things, and he'll give it to you.

00:48:48.000 Here's what I need for California.

00:48:49.000 Okay, sure.

00:48:50.000 you flatter them. I mean, you know, you play the game a little bit, but honestly, like I was just going back and

00:48:55.000 watching some of those private primary debates with Trump in 2015, 2016. I mean, it was so great television and also

00:49:02.000 honestly gets the point of why the media became what they became because they were all in on it. They, I mean, CNN

00:49:07.000 and MSNBC, they would put them on all the time.

00:49:09.000 He was on Morning Joe and calling in from the bathroom.

00:49:12.000 He was on, you know, Don Lemon all the time.

00:49:14.000 He was talking to everybody.

00:49:16.000 And they did it because they would love to have him be the nominee.

00:49:20.000 And then they knew he would lose to Hillary.

00:49:21.000 And so they're like, all right, great.

00:49:22.000 Let's ride this.

00:49:23.000 It's great ratings.

00:49:24.000 And then they get that shock on November 8th, and they don't know how to deal with it.

00:49:28.000 But in that moment, they were all good for the TV.

00:49:32.000 I guess Zucker felt personally responsible at CNN.

00:49:35.000 Yeah.

00:49:36.000 So he was offended or ashamed because there were people being like, they would come to him and say, why did you give him all this airtime?

00:49:43.000 And he was like, we were making money.

00:49:45.000 And so then he made it his mission to just destroy Trump in the press.

00:49:49.000 Right.

00:49:50.000 Yeah, and it's hilarious because all they did was expose themselves as biased, destroyed whatever remaining credibility they had, and made people who already like Trump like him a whole lot more.

00:50:02.000 Now, what I find so hilarious about the entire situation is that You're correct that people who flatter Trump seem to get ahead in some sense, and the left could have very easily played him in that way, but because their TDS was so strong, it was like this perfect storm where this weakness of his couldn't really be exploited by them because they were too deranged, they were too histrionic, and they were freaking out and screaming, it's Donald Trump!

00:50:35.000 Like, if you were just as dishonest as you always are and tried to flatter him, you might have been able to get some of the things done that you wanted to get done, but you're not capable.

00:50:46.000 I'll say one other thing about Jeff Zucker, because that's what makes it so unique about Donald Trump.

00:50:50.000 I mean, Jeff Zucker and Donald Trump go way back.

00:50:54.000 Donald Trump made Jeff Zucker at NBC because of The Apprentice.

00:50:57.000 It was a huge hit.

00:50:58.000 Jeff Zucker had no hits before that when he ran NBC.

00:51:01.000 Jeff Zucker was one of the many media members who were at Donald Trump's wedding to Melania in 2005.

00:51:05.000 Katie Couric was there.

00:51:07.000 Matt Lauer.

00:51:08.000 Barbara Walters.

00:51:09.000 You go right on down the line.

00:51:10.000 Elton John performed.

00:51:11.000 I mean, he was part of that world for so long.

00:51:14.000 I mean, he was hosting Saturday Night Live in 2015.

00:51:17.000 He was in that world.

00:51:17.000 He was hosting Celebrity Apprentice in 2015.

00:51:20.000 Then he left and gave Arnold Schwarzenegger a chance to do it right before he announced for running for president.

00:51:25.000 And then to become the turncoat.

00:51:27.000 These people thought they knew him.

00:51:28.000 They thought he was their friend.

00:51:30.000 He was part of that world.

00:51:31.000 And then he turned on him.

00:51:32.000 And that, I think, became so personal for so many of those people.

00:51:37.000 Man.

00:51:38.000 Let's jump to a news story.

00:51:39.000 We got this one.

00:51:41.000 I know you guys want to talk about Bud Light.

00:51:43.000 We got a former Anheuser-Busch executive slamming inauthentic Bud Light for having lost track of the consumer.

00:51:49.000 There's a bunch of developments.

00:51:50.000 For one, their restaurant volume has dropped 34.7%.

00:51:57.000 We're hearing that various different sales metrics show a drop of like 17% in general sales, volume has decreased in double digits, and here's my favorite latest development on the Bud Light boycott story.

00:52:10.000 It is, first, I'd like to bring you all back in time.

00:52:14.000 To April 13th for this CNN article.

00:52:19.000 Bud Light's inclusive ad campaigns are good for business, experts say.

00:52:25.000 And then we get this masterpiece.

00:52:29.000 Bud Light sales are falling, but distributors say they're sticking by the brand.

00:52:33.000 13 days late.

00:52:34.000 Shot and Chaser.

00:52:36.000 Ah, you'll love to see it.

00:52:37.000 Guys, screenshot those two.

00:52:40.000 I should actually just do this right now.

00:52:42.000 Is the first one a Jim Cramer byline?

00:52:44.000 Yeah.

00:52:45.000 Chip Kramer, bye Bud Light!

00:52:47.000 This is hilarious.

00:52:49.000 So they'll make statements like this.

00:52:51.000 Inclusive ad campaigns are good for consumers.

00:52:54.000 Okay, this is circular.

00:52:55.000 Yes, if an ad campaign is truly inclusive, as in it is maximally appealing to the largest base possible, then yes, it's going to be an effective ad campaign.

00:53:06.000 Clearly, Bud Light's ad campaign was not inclusive.

00:53:12.000 It was not inclusive because they alienated their own viewers.

00:53:15.000 So let me give you an example.

00:53:16.000 Name an incredibly controversial group of people.

00:53:20.000 I don't want to be lazy and say... The Irish. 0.96

00:53:22.000 The Irish.

00:53:23.000 No, name a group of people generally... Let's say... Antifa.

00:53:27.000 Antifa.

00:53:27.000 Okay.

00:53:29.000 So if a marketing, but part of why this might break down is because you could almost actually see this happening.

00:53:34.000 But if a marketing firm said, you know what, we're going to be really inclusive.

00:53:39.000 We're going to include Antifa in our next advertisement.

00:53:42.000 You go, well, hold on a second.

00:53:43.000 Okay.

00:53:44.000 By including them, you're excluding everyone who takes issue with them.

00:53:49.000 So, inclusive doesn't mean welcoming a new group, right?

00:53:54.000 It means, how are we going to get the most possible people to be loyal to our brand?

00:53:59.000 And here's an important distinction as it pertains to, say, political ideology.

00:54:04.000 There's a big divide in this country, and it's roughly down the middle in terms of politics.

00:54:09.000 So you risk alienating half the population by choosing—so you stay away from it.

00:54:14.000 But then you can make the argument about when it comes to race.

00:54:18.000 Well, there's millions, hundreds of millions, tens of millions of people of varying different racial backgrounds, and a tiny bit of racists.

00:54:26.000 So you know what?

00:54:26.000 If we want to maximize our total market share, we go for a literal inclusive strategy which is apolitical and just says everybody's chill to have our beer.

00:54:36.000 Instead, they go directly for the most polarizing and divisive and like nails on a chalkboard personality and then just Gut their brand.

00:54:46.000 They didn't make it inclusive.

00:54:48.000 They made it as exclusive as possible.

00:54:50.000 Exactly.

00:54:51.000 Let's push everyone out outside of our small group of people who feel a need to virtue signal to one another that we think this is a beautiful woman.

00:54:58.000 Definitely.

00:54:59.000 That's what we're looking at here.

00:55:00.000 Woman and beautiful.

00:55:01.000 So sloppy.

00:55:02.000 I forgot who it was.

00:55:03.000 I'll have to give him credit.

00:55:04.000 It was on Twitter.

00:55:05.000 Someone basically came up with it.

00:55:06.000 You want to appeal to the trans community.

00:55:08.000 Okay.

00:55:09.000 Here's an idea, right?

00:55:09.000 Okay.

00:55:10.000 You're a Bud Light Factory.

00:55:12.000 And you've got a person there, they are a factory worker, and they're trans, they're a little bit scared to come to work, and they get there and their friends welcome them in.

00:55:20.000 Okay, now you've done an ad that's not alienating, maybe you've welcomed them, but they went in the most clunky, you know, embarrassing way possible, and yet, talk about the language, expert say.

00:55:33.000 I know, I know.

00:55:34.000 Anytime a headline has expert say, just distrust it, honestly.

00:55:38.000 Experts say is the blue checkmark of news articles, but I will mention this.

00:55:43.000 I actually think even an advertisement like that wouldn't work for Bud Light, because

00:55:47.000 the consumers would go, this is obvious virtue signaling, they're trying to be a woke brand,

00:55:51.000 and that's not who Bud Light is generally marketing itself towards.

00:55:55.000 That's not who buys Bud Light.

00:55:56.000 But that's the craziest thing about this leftist ideology is that they're willing to burn the

00:56:00.000 entire house down just for the sake of their ideology and looking like they're doing the

00:56:05.000 right thing and I don't know, I guess showing off for their friends.

00:56:07.000 That's why I say it's not really an ideology, it's a cult.

00:56:10.000 It's a chaotic destructive force that has no end game.

00:56:13.000 Maybe the end game is destroying the country.

00:56:15.000 Maybe they're being wielded by evil people to destroy things, but that's all they do.

00:56:20.000 Consume and destroy. 0.93

00:56:21.000 And talk about a person who bought into the cult.

00:56:24.000 I mean, part of the problem with the Bud Light thing was the also podcast with the VP of Marketing explaining why the brand that she is a part of is bad.

00:56:33.000 essentially, is why it's too fratty and we have to change it. That's your problem when you pair that

00:56:38.000 with the Dylan Mulvaney video, which was, again, I mean, who is buying Bud Light because of that?

00:56:42.000 Are Dylan Mulvaney's fans buying Bud Light because of that?

00:56:45.000 I can't even imagine that anyone thought this was a good idea. And yet, and this is

00:56:48.000 what you get.

00:56:49.000 You know, now that I think about it, Tim Kast probably isn't doing enough to be inclusive

00:56:53.000 and to reach out to these liberals. So we're going to replace Seamus with Cenk Uygur of the Young

00:56:59.000 Turks. You can't replace me.

00:57:00.000 And then your stock's going to go down a million dollars.

00:57:02.000 I'll be like the Tucker Carlson of TimCast.

00:57:04.000 Experts say it actually might be good.

00:57:06.000 Experts say it'll be a great idea.

00:57:08.000 Experts say having... To alienate his entire viewer base.

00:57:12.000 Yeah, right.

00:57:13.000 Telling your customers, telling your audience, telling your fans that they're bad people tends not to work out for you.

00:57:20.000 Yeah, shockingly enough.

00:57:22.000 Shockingly enough.

00:57:24.000 It's so bizarre, but this is just what happens, right?

00:57:26.000 People don't understand the brands that they're trying to create advertisements for and sometimes they can get away with it.

00:57:31.000 I remember last year we had Libby Emmons here and we were, maybe this is a year and a half ago now, but we were watching these different woke advertisements that candy companies were doing.

00:57:41.000 It was a bunch of different brands.

00:57:43.000 Oh, the M&Ms thing from Tucker Carlson's that you're talking about?

00:57:45.000 Oh, no, no, no, no.

00:57:46.000 I'm talking about the one where the witch comes in and basically kills the kid with magic, but that's not exactly what happens.

00:57:50.000 What?

00:57:51.000 Yes!

00:57:51.000 Don't you remember we were watching the commercial and reviewing it?

00:57:53.000 What commercial?

00:57:54.000 This kid has like a witch babysitter and she comes in and she like... The kid does something gender non-conforming and so it was supposed to be a woke commercial. 0.88

00:58:04.000 Do you remember this?

00:58:04.000 Uh-uh.

00:58:05.000 Well, we reviewed it on air and made fun of it.

00:58:07.000 And we were looking at a couple of commercials.

00:58:09.000 But, you know, sometimes brands can sort of get a Way with it, because even though their product is apolitical, the consumers aren't going to care all that much.

00:58:20.000 But with Bud Light, I mean, you're really talking about something that is marketed, generally, again, towards fratty dudes and also working class people.

00:58:27.000 It is a cheap beer.

00:58:29.000 Your audience is toxic masculinity, right?

00:58:34.000 That's such a good point though, because in Uncovered I write about something I call guilt journalism.

00:58:39.000 I specifically cite there was a magazine, Cosmo, that put on the cover this gigantic obese woman and just with the headline, this is healthy. 1.00

00:58:49.000 This is healthy.

00:58:50.000 Are you sure?

00:58:51.000 Right.

00:58:52.000 If you want to put this person on the cover, okay.

00:58:55.000 But what are we seeing here?

00:58:57.000 What are we doing?

00:58:57.000 Well, it's because they feel this guilt over what they've done for decades of putting real thin women on their cover and what that has caused.

00:59:05.000 And so now they feel this guilt.

00:59:06.000 It's like a pre-cancellation.

00:59:07.000 We're going to just get ahead of this and say, oh, no, no, no.

00:59:11.000 Now this is healthy.

00:59:12.000 See, we're the good people.

00:59:13.000 Honestly, in some ways, that feels like what that Bud Light marketing executive was saying, too.

00:59:17.000 It's like, we're a bad brand.

00:59:19.000 So let's become good now.

00:59:20.000 We feel guilty about what we've done.

00:59:22.000 Exactly.

00:59:22.000 Well, they wanted to court a higher class of consumers.

00:59:24.000 That's the general idea. 0.99

00:59:26.000 White men are bad, right? 1.00

00:59:27.000 Working class men are bad, right? 1.00

00:59:29.000 All of the people who are considered toxically masculine conservatives, the frat boys, we know what they're dog whistling when they talk about this.

00:59:35.000 And so what do we need?

00:59:36.000 Well, we need a trendy, younger, hip viewer base.

00:59:39.000 You know, people who would have higher social credit scores, so to speak.

00:59:42.000 And that's who we need to try to market to, so we're going to spit in the face of our current consumer base by marketing to them with something that we are explicitly saying isn't for them because what we're trying to say is this brand is not for you anymore.

00:59:55.000 Go away.

00:59:57.000 Yep.

00:59:57.000 And then when they go away, it's like, where are you going?

01:00:00.000 What's happening?

01:00:01.000 I just want to get back to doing regular stuff and not getting breached at.

01:00:03.000 Do you remember Gillette?

01:00:04.000 You guys remember the Gillette ad, I'm sure.

01:00:06.000 Another great example.

01:00:07.000 That's how Jeremy's Razors came about, right?

01:00:08.000 Yes.

01:00:09.000 There was the part where the dude sees the attractive woman, and he goes like, ooh, and he tries to walk, but the other guy stops him.

01:00:14.000 He's like, no, don't talk to women.

01:00:15.000 Don't talk to women. 1.00

01:00:16.000 He's like, women are gross, bro. 1.00

01:00:19.000 No, actually, Jeremy's Razor, I think it was a Dollar Shave Club thing, right? 0.99

01:00:22.000 Yeah, Harry's Razor.

01:00:24.000 Harry's, sorry.

01:00:26.000 Canceled their ads.

01:00:27.000 Yeah, but that Gillette ad, too, it was so ridiculous because They took so rough-and-tumble play, which all of the psychological literature shows is incredibly important and necessary for the development of young boys, it portrays it as two little boys just beating the crap out of each other and the two dads at the grill going, well, boys will be boys, as if that's what real life is.

01:00:51.000 They took a gender studies dissertation, made it into an advertisement, and insulted their entire viewer base because guess what? 0.93

01:00:59.000 Those razors are for men. 0.89

01:01:01.000 They're male razors. 0.93

01:01:02.000 And I think this is a softer repeat of that insult.

01:01:06.000 I don't even remember why Jeremy made chocolate bars at this point.

01:01:10.000 I just know that we have 2,000 of them downstairs.

01:01:12.000 They're good.

01:01:13.000 They're really good.

01:01:14.000 They're actually pretty good, man.

01:01:15.000 They have four ingredients.

01:01:17.000 It's like chocolate, dried milk powder, and like organic sugar or something.

01:01:21.000 And nuts.

01:01:22.000 And cocoa butter.

01:01:23.000 The one with nuts is like almonds.

01:01:24.000 What was it?

01:01:25.000 It was the Hershey's did the candy bar commercial with the trans woman. 0.72

01:01:29.000 Yep.

01:01:30.000 And then Jeremy was like, don't buy that chocolate, buy our chocolate.

01:01:33.000 And then I was like, okay, I will.

01:01:36.000 And so I bought 2,000 bars.

01:01:38.000 You're such a consumer, Tim.

01:01:40.000 Well, I think, you know, we should legitimately be supporting these efforts.

01:01:44.000 So the moment, you know, Jeremy's light or whatever comes out, brew, we'll order that too.

01:01:54.000 But this is the point.

01:01:55.000 You should be supporting companies that are clearly in support of your values.

01:02:00.000 This show was sponsored by Public Square.

01:02:01.000 Shout out to them because we're huge fans.

01:02:03.000 You can go on the app and you can find businesses and It's awesome.

01:02:08.000 Look in your area, figure out which businesses actually care about your values, and don't give your money to Bud Light.

01:02:13.000 That's great.

01:02:14.000 And then we win.

01:02:15.000 Yeah.

01:02:16.000 Well, for so long, conservatives have been so reluctant to do that.

01:02:19.000 One massive flaw with the right, people view this as a strength.

01:02:22.000 It's not as much of a strength as they think it is.

01:02:24.000 One massive flaw on the right is this almost this odd desire not to alienate everyone, right?

01:02:32.000 And so the left will claim they don't want to alienate people, but then obviously they shun anyone who steps out of line even slightly.

01:02:40.000 And the right has always said, Well, we're just a home for everyone who considers themselves a non-leftist or anti-leftist.

01:02:49.000 And so because of that, I think conservatives have very much prided themselves on being able to have conversations with people they disagree with.

01:02:54.000 And that's all well and good, right?

01:02:57.000 But I think for a while there was this stigma that if you as a conservative didn't tolerate everything the left was doing, then you were just as bad as the left.

01:03:05.000 And I'm glad conservatives are stepping out of that and saying, you know what, we can and we should boycott these brands and there

01:03:10.000 actually is something we can do about this.

01:03:12.000 It is weird how the what was it I was what was it um Sticks X and Hammer put

01:03:19.000 out he made a meme and it was so amazing and it said the actual political party

01:03:24.000 let me let me pull this up shout out to Sticks I got to pull this up it was too

01:03:27.000 funny and then let me I don't want to ruin the joke so um but uh let me let me

01:03:34.000 I'm scrolling, I'm scrolling, I'll find it.

01:03:36.000 It's in here, so I retweeted it because it was hilarious.

01:03:38.000 Here we go, check this out. 0.99

01:03:39.000 It says, the two-party system summed up, Republican paralyzed goat, Democrat diseased rat. 0.99

01:03:46.000 So instead of the elephant and the jackass or whatever, the Republican paralyzed goat I think perfectly sums up what the Republican Party is. 0.99

01:03:56.000 They get startled and then just lock up and then fall over. 1.00

01:03:59.000 And the Democrats are a diseased rat. 1.00

01:04:01.000 There you go. 1.00

01:04:02.000 That is wonderful.

01:04:02.000 And I mean, I'm not the individuals, not the people.

01:04:05.000 Of course not.

01:04:06.000 I'm not trying to call people that.

01:04:07.000 I'm saying the political parties and what they represent. 0.97

01:04:10.000 Like, the Republican being a paralyzed goat is just too perfect. 0.95

01:04:13.000 Yeah. 0.98

01:04:14.000 Like, the disease rat thing is like, I don't know, sure, fine, whatever. 0.99

01:04:16.000 But the Republican is a paralyzed goat. 0.96

01:04:18.000 And you're trending on Twitter. 0.96

01:04:19.000 There we go, Tim, you're done.

01:04:21.000 I can't believe you just said that.

01:04:22.000 I don't care.

01:04:23.000 I retweeted Styx.

01:04:24.000 I will tweet this out.

01:04:25.000 I hereby agree with this.

01:04:27.000 It's the party thing, yeah.

01:04:29.000 Yeah, the parties, this is what they represent.

01:04:30.000 But really, like I said, the Democrat disease rat thing is kind of like, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. 0.98

01:04:34.000 The Republicans as paralyzed goats. 0.99

01:04:36.000 Hits the nail on the hammer too perfectly. 1.00

01:04:39.000 That's what they are.

01:04:39.000 Yeah.

01:04:40.000 Something startling comes up, I'm like, ah!

01:04:42.000 Yeah.

01:04:43.000 And they fall over.

01:04:46.000 Paralyzed goat.

01:04:48.000 Shoutout, sticksexandhammer666, that was a really good one.

01:04:51.000 But that's why it's been so difficult to win culture war battles.

01:04:55.000 However, disaffected liberals have aligned themselves with the Republican Party.

01:05:01.000 Exactly.

01:05:02.000 And now there is, for Republicans, a fighting chance.

01:05:05.000 So, I still look at it like this.

01:05:06.000 We were at the Turning Point USA event.

01:05:09.000 We were the only ones there, except for Steve Bannon, who weren't wearing suits.

01:05:13.000 Everybody's up on stage wearing some kind of suit.

01:05:15.000 And then we show up and we're just like, I don't know, wearing what we wear.

01:05:18.000 Looking like schlubs.

01:05:19.000 Yeah, well, that's the issue. 0.55

01:05:20.000 It was a black tie event.

01:05:22.000 Yeah, sure.

01:05:23.000 So, this is what I think.

01:05:24.000 These young conservative types, these, you know, look, man, if you go to a bunch of high school kids wearing a suit, and you're like, hello there, fellow kids, they're gonna be like, yeah, okay, what?

01:05:33.000 Well, you gotta be like...

01:05:35.000 Relaxed and casual, you know, there's clearly a realignment.

01:05:38.000 I mean, yeah happening III how many people that are they're fans of the show Probably, you know consider themselves potentially conservative but not Republicans I think that there's there's a lot of people that that are in the culture today That are seeing that where the left is going and saying that's not me, you know I I don't know exactly where I am right now but I mean I think about it you talk about like, you know, the right could be Talk to anyone, right?

01:06:02.000 I think that's a good philosophy.

01:06:03.000 I agree with that.

01:06:04.000 Talk to anyone. 1.00

01:06:05.000 And the left right now is not just the right has bad ideas, they have dumb ideas, you know, conservatives are stupid, but these people are dangerous. 1.00

01:06:13.000 And I think that's a huge change. 1.00

01:06:15.000 That's actually the, and it's coming from the media too.

01:06:17.000 I describe them as anti-speech activists.

01:06:20.000 These people that should be about free speech and allowing a free flow of ideas on social media or wherever, I want to mention something here too, because the media did spend a lot of time talking about how much it cared about free speech.

01:06:30.000 i'm not gonna be a part of that that's not it's why i am well it's the cult

01:06:33.000 versus the not called it i want to mention something here to because the media did

01:06:37.000 spend a lot of time talking about how much a care about free speech it's

01:06:40.000 really easy to care about free speech when you're the only voice

01:06:43.000 but as soon as the advent of the internet your average person being able

01:06:46.000 to voice your own opinions all the sudden we got all of these specials and

01:06:49.000 different news outlets about disinformation what we need to do to

01:06:52.000 ensure that a speech doesn't spread online

01:06:56.000 the whole utility of television in the present era where the internet exists

01:07:00.000 is I get to talk at you.

01:07:02.000 You don't get to say anything back.

01:07:04.000 That's what it's for.

01:07:05.000 So we shouldn't be shocked that the vast majority of individuals in legacy media don't believe in free speech because their platform is fundamentally anti-free speech.

01:07:14.000 It's I get to say what I want and I don't hear anything back from you.

01:07:18.000 So we're working on a bunch of new projects, obviously we're looking for talent, and we've been talking to some individuals who are like, oh man, I don't want to be involved in political stuff, and I'm like, look, the show that we're launching is not political in any way, it's totally its own standalone thing.

01:07:31.000 And so we started working on this, and I'll keep the details vague for now.

01:07:34.000 But the individual said that they started getting threats of violence, insults and attacks.

01:07:39.000 And I was like, did you get any of that from anyone associated with the right or like disaffected liberals?

01:07:44.000 He's like, no, of course not.

01:07:46.000 And I was like, and do you agree with all of these people?

01:07:49.000 It's like, no, of course not.

01:07:50.000 And I'm like, isn't it crazy that Someone like Seamus, who is Catholic, staunchly pro-life, can sit here and disagree with me or Ian or whatever, and he's one of our best friends, we laugh together, he's on the show consistently.

01:08:03.000 There's no beef!

01:08:04.000 There's none.

01:08:04.000 But if it comes to the left, you disagree on one issue, You're out.

01:08:09.000 You're far right.

01:08:10.000 You're bad. 1.00

01:08:10.000 You're evil. 1.00

01:08:11.000 Literally Hitler. 1.00

01:08:12.000 Yeah.

01:08:12.000 Literally Hitler.

01:08:13.000 Yeah.

01:08:13.000 This is the Joe Rogan thing that's so fascinating to me.

01:08:15.000 I mean, Joe Rogan is a guy who's, if he's supporting any politician, it's Bernie Sanders.

01:08:19.000 You know, this is as progressive as it can get.

01:08:22.000 And yet why does the left hate him and the corporate media hate him is because he's impeding on their power and because he's willing to have conversations.

01:08:30.000 I mean, I describe him as an information maximalist.

01:08:32.000 And the media is now full of information minimalists.

01:08:35.000 They want the minimum amount of information out there for the public to consume, because really they just fundamentally distrust people.

01:08:41.000 They distrust their own audience, and they distrust the average American.

01:08:44.000 And the right is now all of a sudden in this position of being, no, actually, you know, let's get ideas out there.

01:08:50.000 Now, not the right, but Bill Maher and Joe Rogan, these are people that just have a fundamental disagreement with the way the left has shifted towards this anti-free speech platform.

01:09:01.000 I think the other side of that too, though, is also the left has gotten so crazy and a lot of their core beliefs now don't stand up to intellectual scrutiny.

01:09:10.000 So if they had their ideas challenged on social media, on these news programs, and people are exposed to one side and the other side and the actual facts, like men can't be women, men don't have uteruses, you know, if we truly have an actual open debate, pretty much 90% of everything they believe is going to be obliterated.

01:09:28.000 Yep! 0.80

01:09:29.000 That's why they don't want to come on the show.

01:09:30.000 Yep.

01:09:31.000 And every polite invite gets turned down.

01:09:34.000 We will pay for your travel, we will fly you first class, we will get a car waiting for you with a guy holding up a sign with your name on it, we'll bring you out, there will be a filet mignon, medium rare, Oscar style, right on this table!

01:09:45.000 It was great service.

01:09:46.000 And you can say whatever you want!

01:09:47.000 And they're like, no.

01:09:49.000 You can eat a steak while insulting Tim across from it.

01:09:53.000 I'm saying for leftists, We gotta pull out of the stops!

01:09:56.000 Pull out the red carpet! 0.96

01:09:57.000 Come on down! 1.00

01:09:57.000 And they're like, no. 1.00

01:09:59.000 And then you get the grifter ones who are, like, just willing to lie, cheat, and steal for fame, and they're like, oh, come on.

01:10:03.000 It's like, not you.

01:10:04.000 You know, we know what your game is.

01:10:07.000 I'm talking about the actual personalities who are talking about leftist politics and policies.

01:10:10.000 Jimmy Dore came on, but we're big fans of Jimmy Dore.

01:10:13.000 He was a regular on Tucker, too.

01:10:15.000 Right.

01:10:15.000 This is the thing, like, There are some people that I think are willing to do it themselves and are willing to have that exchange, but they're just so afraid of the backlash.

01:10:25.000 They're so afraid of what a few people yelling at them on Twitter will feel like, that they don't understand that that is such an unrepresentative situation when it comes to what your actual fans, what people that actually like you, what they would get out of that.

01:10:40.000 They're so warped and living in this bubble of Twitter, which is, as polls have shown, 2% of all Americans account for 90% of tweets about politics.

01:10:51.000 I mean, it's unrepresentative.

01:10:53.000 And listen, I spend way too much time on Twitter myself.

01:10:55.000 I love it.

01:10:56.000 I hate that I love it.

01:10:57.000 I'm not representative of this.

01:10:59.000 But I try to have some self-awareness that this is not real life, that people who love me on Twitter or hate me on Twitter, it's a very small cross-section.

01:11:08.000 But I think it's becoming real life.

01:11:10.000 That's the issue.

01:11:11.000 It's starting to feed into it, yeah.

01:11:13.000 Well, it has been.

01:11:15.000 Twitter isn't real life was prominent 6-7 years ago because people were hyper online, but now there's no middle anymore.

01:11:22.000 Now it's to the point where...

01:11:25.000 It really does.

01:11:26.000 Like, the craziest thing is, I've had people come up to me and be like, oh hey, you're Tim Poole, I follow you on Twitter.

01:11:31.000 And I'm like, oh, do you watch the show?

01:11:32.000 And they're like, I just follow you on Twitter, man.

01:11:33.000 Really?

01:11:34.000 Okay, that's cool.

01:11:35.000 So it's like Twitter's influence has become pronounced, which is probably why Elon Musk was like, I have to buy this thing.

01:11:40.000 Yeah.

01:11:40.000 Well, I mean, a lot of what people end up deciding to talk about or report about or discuss on their podcast is based on what they see trending on Twitter, so it's an incredibly powerful tool.

01:11:50.000 Now, what a lot of people don't realize is that, well, Twitter, in terms of its user base, is not the furthest left platform.

01:11:56.000 It certainly leans to the left to the point where if it were a state, for example, it would be, you know, pretty solidly blue.

01:12:06.000 A lot of corporations will look to the kind of reception they are getting on Twitter from their advertisement campaigns to determine whether they should shift course.

01:12:17.000 And they're getting an incredibly biased sample, and many of them haven't realized that in the past.

01:12:21.000 So you'll get a bunch of people tweeting at you saying, well, this campaign was offensive, etc., etc.

01:12:25.000 All right, well, you're getting a biased sample there.

01:12:29.000 But corporations will still make changes based on that very biased sample.

01:12:33.000 Let's jump to the story from the Daily Mail.

01:12:35.000 Refund the Police Portland finally launches crackdown on crime after defunding the police by $15 million as it hires more district attorneys and investigators to tackle spiraling car and retail theft.

01:12:46.000 All right, how long until you think it is until liberals start saying, we were always in support of the police, it's the conservatives that hated police!

01:12:54.000 Well, they want to refund the police, I hope they kept the receipt because I think a lot of those cops ain't coming back.

01:12:59.000 You drive them out of their jobs, you make it as difficult as possible for them to do it.

01:13:03.000 This was their plan the whole time. They got all the conservative-leaning cops to quit,

01:13:07.000 and now that none of them would touch the department's 10-foot pole,

01:13:10.000 they're going to hire only the people who support their crackpot ideas. 0.67

01:13:13.000 Dr. Justin Marchegiani Between that and COVID, you know, between

01:13:16.000 the vaccine mandates and all the other things that drove, you know, change the force out of this.

01:13:20.000 Kim Fox in Chicago, big prosecutor, wouldn't prosecute Jussie Smollett, was a Soros-funded 0.96

01:13:26.000 DA, which I know you're not supposed to say, but that is just a fact.

01:13:28.000 Dr. Justin Marchegiani How dare you?

01:13:29.000 Dr. Justin Marchegiani Now, and now– Dr. Justin Marchegiani She's not running for a re-election.

01:13:32.000 Dr. Justin Marchegiani I think we're gonna see a shift here, and– and part of the shift, I would imagine, is because

01:13:37.000 they gotta get the shift going before 2024 because this is a winning issue for the Republicans.

01:13:41.000 Dr. Jonathan Rossin Yes, but the cops are going to be pro-Antifa now.

01:13:45.000 We've already seen it happen, and there's a video of a guy backing away from Antifa, and they're threatening him with weapons, and the cops grab the victim and arrest him.

01:13:55.000 Maybe, I don't know the full context, but it's a guy backing up saying, get away from me, get away from me, and then the cop apologizes to an Antifa woman, so I'm sorry ma'am.

01:14:03.000 Well, they gotta be, man, because if they're bringing these police officers back in these blue areas, these cops are risking their livelihoods by just doing their jobs.

01:14:12.000 If they get charged for arresting the wrong person by one of these liberal DAs, they get dragged through the media, they're gonna get charged, they're gonna get convicted, they're gonna get thrown in jail.

01:14:22.000 So they gotta be on the same political line.

01:14:24.000 What happens when Portland says, all right, we're gonna be hiring 500 new cops and all the applicants are anti-foe?

01:14:31.000 I'm not kidding.

01:14:32.000 They're gonna be the ones to show up and be like, yes, I'll be a cop.

01:14:35.000 And then basically a far-left extremist gang puts on the badge and can go around doing whatever they want with government sanction.

01:14:43.000 It's definitely possible.

01:14:45.000 Part of me hopes that their ideology would select against it.

01:14:49.000 I understand that they don't have principles, but they hate cops so much.

01:14:51.000 Do you think that would get them pushed out of their social circles?

01:14:54.000 Nope.

01:14:54.000 They'd be like, they'll have a direct action meeting and they'll say, we're going to take over the department.

01:14:59.000 We're going to take those badges and then we'll control it.

01:15:01.000 They're going to go, yay!

01:15:02.000 Just like when the BLM activists cheered for the police arresting the guy from his own home. 0.65

01:15:07.000 They say the police are bad and then they go and call the cops and cheer for them when the cops show up.

01:15:12.000 Yep.

01:15:13.000 They're posting on Twitter, arrest them, arrest them, arrest these people.

01:15:17.000 They want that power.

01:15:18.000 I thought you were about to say that, wait, wait, what happens when they're all trans? 1.00

01:15:21.000 I thought that was where we were going with it.

01:15:24.000 I mean, but a lot of them would be.

01:15:26.000 That's the thing about the ideology.

01:15:29.000 No, have you seen, there was a, I think James Lindsay posted this, they're already wearing rainbow armbands.

01:15:33.000 Oh man.

01:15:34.000 And I'm like, this is really weird.

01:15:37.000 Everything's changing.

01:15:38.000 Yeah.

01:15:38.000 Or, you know, it's changing, but in many ways staying the same.

01:15:42.000 It's like history rhyming.

01:15:44.000 It's not a red armband, it's a rainbow armband, but it basically represents the same kind of authoritarian pressures.

01:15:51.000 They just got all the colors covered.

01:15:54.000 That's right.

01:15:55.000 So they're all, the entire spectrum of authoritarianism in one armband.

01:16:00.000 It exists on a spectrum, Tim.

01:16:02.000 I mean, it does.

01:16:03.000 But yeah, I guess the issue was Portland's been collapsing.

01:16:07.000 I think, what is it, they had like a famous restaurant shut down because the crime is so bad.

01:16:12.000 There's a bunch of cafes are shutting down.

01:16:15.000 I don't know what they thought was going to happen, or what any of these cities thought was going to happen.

01:16:19.000 And so for me, I'm kind of like, good, I don't care.

01:16:23.000 But it's, the problem is the aftermath.

01:16:26.000 When they start hiring far-left extremists.

01:16:28.000 We're seeing this story of the mass exodus from California.

01:16:31.000 And we're like, haha, look at that, you know, moderate and right-leaning people are fleeing and going to Florida and Texas.

01:16:35.000 And it's like, yeah, you know what that means, right?

01:16:37.000 Most, many of them are probably cops.

01:16:38.000 Many of them worked in government law or law enforcement, things like that.

01:16:42.000 Now the left is going to open up those positions and make appointments of far-left extremists into those seats of government.

01:16:48.000 California may lose a lot of people, but now they're going to create a lot of far-left extremists in positions of authority and power. 0.92

01:16:54.000 Yeah, yeah, the good ones.

01:16:55.000 I mean, I'm in Texas myself, and, you know, it's a big story right now, obviously, with people coming.

01:16:59.000 It's like, you're right, the good ones are coming, right?

01:17:02.000 The ones who are open to coming to Texas, open to coming to Tennessee or wherever, then you get left with even bluer in some cases.

01:17:10.000 Obviously, it's going to make Texas a little bit more purple than it was.

01:17:13.000 I mean, I'm in Dallas, so it's already pretty 50-50 red-blue.

01:17:17.000 But yeah, what's the effect going to be in LA and San Francisco, which is already just I'm struggling beyond belief.

01:17:23.000 We barely get coverage of it.

01:17:25.000 There's this crazy video I saw today where a guy, it's a homeless guy in San Diego who's got a tent and he's got a knife.

01:17:31.000 It looks like some kind of like buck knife.

01:17:33.000 And he's screaming how he's going to kill a woman, some random woman. 0.98

01:17:36.000 And then he just stabs the wall as hard as he can. 0.98

01:17:38.000 It's kind of nothing happens, but he's screaming.

01:17:40.000 The dude filming is like, every day he does this.

01:17:43.000 He threatens, he's going to kill somebody.

01:17:44.000 And like the cops won't do anything.

01:17:46.000 Oh my gosh.

01:17:47.000 Why would they?

01:17:47.000 What are they going to do about it?

01:17:49.000 What are they going to do?

01:17:49.000 Show up and arrest the guy?

01:17:50.000 And then they just open the door and let him go again?

01:17:52.000 It's a cultural and social decay.

01:17:55.000 Yeah.

01:17:55.000 That's it.

01:17:56.000 I wonder, I gotta be honest, what's causing all of the mental issues that surround homelessness?

01:18:02.000 Not every homeless person is mentally ill.

01:18:03.000 No.

01:18:04.000 Some of them are vagabonds by choice.

01:18:06.000 But a lot of these people you see sleeping on the city streets, there's something wrong upstairs.

01:18:10.000 What's causing this spike?

01:18:11.000 You know what I mean?

01:18:12.000 Yeah.

01:18:12.000 It's probably a combination of mental health issues and also drug policy.

01:18:16.000 Yeah, it's that also.

01:18:17.000 I mean, look, man is not living the way he is meant to live in this society, and that produces negative outcomes physically and mentally.

01:18:25.000 Yeah, I agree with that.

01:18:26.000 I saw your tweet today about kids, what's causing people that are young people to not want to be who they are.

01:18:34.000 I mean, this is a huge problem.

01:18:36.000 Well, I was just thinking about it in a general sense.

01:18:38.000 I tweeted, we need to start asking ourselves why young people are so desperate to be someone else instead of themselves.

01:18:44.000 And it's gotten like 9,000 retweets or whatever.

01:18:47.000 The funny thing, though, is the left response is, Right.

01:18:51.000 immediately talking about trans issues.

01:18:52.000 Right.

01:18:53.000 And I was just like, I'm just, I was speaking generally, kids wanting to be a famous YouTuber,

01:18:58.000 like wanting to be Mr. Beast or whatever.

01:19:00.000 My point is this.

01:19:02.000 Some people have lashed out on that and been like, every child looks up to somebody and wants to do that.

01:19:08.000 Look, I am outright saying, why are there people who are dying their skin?

01:19:12.000 Why are there people who are trans? 1.00

01:19:14.000 Why are there people who are trans species? 1.00

01:19:16.000 Why are there people who create fake personas?

01:19:18.000 Why are there people who use different names?

01:19:20.000 Why don't they just want to develop who they are?

01:19:23.000 And someone responded to me, a conservative person, was like, It's normal for kids to want to be someone else.

01:19:28.000 And then I'm just like, is that a projection?

01:19:31.000 Because when I was a kid, I didn't want to be anybody else.

01:19:33.000 That didn't exist in my mind.

01:19:34.000 I was just, I just was what I was.

01:19:36.000 There's a viral video from a show called The Good Doctor, where it's about, it's a show about an autistic doctor.

01:19:41.000 I've never seen it.

01:19:42.000 that the patient is a transgender little boy who has testicular cancer. And you find that at the

01:19:47.000 end of the scene. But he says something like, he says, he's autistic, so he's like, you're a boy

01:19:51.000 because you have XY chromosomes, not XX. And then the kid says, how did you know you were supposed

01:19:56.000 to be a boy other than, you know, other than biology? And he goes, that's, your question

01:20:01.000 makes no sense. I'm not supposed to be anything. I am a boy.

01:20:05.000 And I was like, that's a perfect line.

01:20:07.000 You're not supposed to be anything.

01:20:08.000 You're supposed to be who you are, what you are.

01:20:11.000 Why are people so desperate, young people so desperate to not be themselves?

01:20:14.000 I mean, a lot of the mechanisms that we have for self-discovery and for emotional development and social development have gone by the wayside.

01:20:24.000 We don't go outside and play anymore as kids.

01:20:27.000 We don't really interact.

01:20:28.000 Everything that we do is on an app.

01:20:29.000 It's through social media.

01:20:31.000 We're filtered through these programs that have algorithms that shape our world and they're programmed to reward you and give you a dopamine hit based on certain triggers.

01:20:41.000 So our entire society has shifted from something that allows you to be able to grow and have that self-discovery process and figure out who you are.

01:20:48.000 and reward you for being an individual and just being yourself to making you want, and again these children are impressionable, your brain doesn't fully form and develop until you're 25.

01:20:57.000 So we have this group of millions of kids who don't go through this process and their entire life experience is geared toward wanting to please an algorithm which is essentially making you want to be what you see on the screen instead of figuring out who the hell you are.

01:21:12.000 So getting plastic surgery to look like Snapchat filters.

01:21:15.000 Young women are developing fake Tourette's syndrome because they want to emulate what they see on these apps. 0.98

01:21:21.000 And yet, social contagion with respect to transgenderism is completely dismissed.

01:21:27.000 There are kids who are literally pretending to have Tourette's.

01:21:30.000 There has not been some massive uptick in Tourette's, and yet when you see a massive uptick in gender confusion, that couldn't possibly be social contagion.

01:21:38.000 They were always that way, and now society allows them to say it.

01:21:41.000 But it may not be pretending.

01:21:43.000 No, social contagion doesn't mean pretending.

01:21:45.000 They're pretending to be Tourette's.

01:21:47.000 Some of these young women are actually developing a social issue and they're getting Tourette's syndrome from watching prominent Tourette's personalities.

01:21:56.000 Well, some of it's also coming from inside the home, too.

01:21:59.000 We talk a lot about fatherless homes, but there's a piece that I wrote for TimCastNews.com.

01:22:05.000 It's actually just TimCast.com.

01:22:07.000 TimCast.com, my bad.

01:22:08.000 Actually, is it?

01:22:09.000 You have to check the name of your own website.

01:22:12.000 Well, we might have bought that other URL.

01:22:13.000 He's got a lot going on.

01:22:15.000 We might have bought the other URL.

01:22:16.000 There was a study from 1994 that just resurfaced.

01:22:19.000 that found that 53% of mothers of boys who identify as trans have their own psychological issues, including depression and borderline personality disorder.

01:22:29.000 So there's, it's not even just a social contagion.

01:22:32.000 I think it's a large part of it, but some of this is being directed from within these, these children's own homes because their parents have their own issues that they haven't sorted out yet.

01:22:40.000 And that's even before social media, right?

01:22:42.000 I mean, I agree with you.

01:22:42.000 1994.

01:22:44.000 I think social media has a huge factor of, and not just because of the incentives of it, but because you go from maybe you grew up wanting to be

01:22:50.000 famous or you wanted to be successful, but now you want to be special and you're doing it in a way

01:22:56.000 that is performative. It's public in a way that never existed before. I mean, whether it's

01:23:02.000 the media, whether it's kids growing up, the incentives of getting feedback from friends,

01:23:08.000 from family, from fans in the moment, it's very hard to – I can't even imagine growing up in a

01:23:14.000 society where you are living in public and you have in your mind the potential of is this the

01:23:21.000 thing that's going to make me famous or special And you're doing it on Instagram, you're doing all these platforms that have that ability.

01:23:28.000 And then you're also doing it with all these, the normal pressures that you have with being a kid and being at school and dealing with things.

01:23:35.000 And even when it comes to bullying, and again, the normal things that you would just go through in elementary school and junior high and high school, there's not an off switch anymore because of these platforms.

01:23:46.000 You go home, you're still dealing with it online through DMs, through other people tweeting and TikToking and sharing your posts.

01:23:53.000 It never goes away.

01:23:55.000 We have an entire culture that's sick right now.

01:23:58.000 And again, when we talk about things like school shootings, this is part of the reason.

01:24:01.000 We've created a culture that is completely ill and needs a little bit of reformation.

01:24:07.000 We've taken God out of people's lives.

01:24:09.000 We've taken the meaning out of people's lives by devaluing the family structure and And what role families should play in our lives.

01:24:15.000 And all of it has an impact and it's all playing out in these really weird ways as we sit here and scratch our heads trying to figure out what's going on because we're too afraid, not us, but in general people are afraid to address the real issues.

01:24:26.000 Yeah, well I think another massive problem is just how much we have forgotten what nature is in and of itself.

01:24:35.000 So wealth allows you to insulate yourself from nature.

01:24:38.000 And it's also allowed us to insulate ourselves from our own nature.

01:24:43.000 We think of it as something external.

01:24:45.000 It's out there.

01:24:45.000 That's nature.

01:24:46.000 But you're a human being.

01:24:47.000 You also have a nature to you.

01:24:50.000 And so not only do we not know how to combat the threats that exist in the outside world we've insulated ourselves from, we have actually forgotten how to combat the elements of our own nature that are nefarious.

01:25:02.000 You know, I'm reminded of that scene in the movie Snatch.

01:25:05.000 You guys ever see that one with... Brad Pitt?

01:25:08.000 Brad Pitt's in it.

01:25:09.000 Who else is in it?

01:25:10.000 Jason Statham's in it.

01:25:11.000 There's a lot of people that are in it.

01:25:13.000 And there's that scene where Jason Statham is with his buddy, and then his buddy says, like, you can't drink milk.

01:25:18.000 It's out of sync with evolution.

01:25:20.000 And he's like, what do you mean?

01:25:21.000 And he's like, humans didn't evolve to drink milk.

01:25:24.000 They adopted it later, so it's not properly attuned to, like, our bodies and digestion.

01:25:27.000 You shouldn't drink it.

01:25:29.000 And I'm thinking about that as it pertains to modern social media.

01:25:32.000 Humans, this technology is out of sync with evolution.

01:25:36.000 Humans survived by being certain ways, like community, family, things like that.

01:25:42.000 We certainly want to do away with bad things and hold on to the good things and the good ideas. 0.65

01:25:48.000 But now we have this machine that is feeding us a feedback loop of dopamine hits and other psychotic garbage, and it's making young people literally go insane.

01:25:58.000 Yeah.

01:25:59.000 And I have to say, I think, you know, it's been a problem longer than this, but COVID made it worse.

01:26:04.000 I think that the after effects of COVID, I've got this theory, this column I'm thinking about, which is that basically COVID explains everything over the last couple of years.

01:26:12.000 I think, you know, whether it's January 6th or anything, I think that there's so much of what is the after effect of those insane Year and a half, two years.

01:26:22.000 I mean, in some people's cases, the people that I know, it remains to this day, that it will have permanent damage on our culture, that in ways that I don't think we even fully comprehend, that in disrupting the nature of what we were supposed to be doing, of what we're supposed to, of how we're supposed to live, and yet we all went along with this for, you know, some people longer than others.

01:26:43.000 I think the disintegration of the family may be like the worst apocalyptic scenario people don't realize.

01:26:49.000 Of course.

01:26:50.000 When we talk about, oh, zombies, meteor strikes, World War III, it's like, dude, families breaking up could be worse than all of those things.

01:26:57.000 No, it is because the family is the most foundational building block of any social structure.

01:27:02.000 It's all built atop the family.

01:27:04.000 I feel like because there's no communal family structure, you end up with rampant crime.

01:27:11.000 My neighbor doesn't know me, doesn't care about me.

01:27:13.000 I am meaningless to their existence, so why not exploit that?

01:27:17.000 You end up with crime going crazy in these cities.

01:27:20.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:27:21.000 Well, part of the beauty of family and part of the beauty, again, of what is built into us, what is built into our own nature, is the people closest to us are people we are literally biologically hardwired to want to fight for and protect in a way that we are not strangers.

01:27:36.000 You can have a very good-hearted police officer who genuinely cares about you and who's even well-trained, He is not going to have the same internal motivations to fight for you the way that your brother or your father will.

01:27:48.000 And what we've attempted to do, because we've forgotten our nature, is try to universalize the protection of one another.

01:27:54.000 Well, we'll just build a great big system that does it, and we won't have to rely on these connections.

01:27:59.000 I'm not saying that having a legal system doesn't work, that having police departments doesn't work, but what I am saying is the thing that works the best is the family, in the family unit.

01:27:59.000 It doesn't work.

01:28:08.000 And we've tried to outsource so much of what it does best That we're just failing at all of those things and now people don't even end up having families anymore or close connections to them because they believe they can rely on these institutions instead and they don't end up getting the same results?

01:28:22.000 I would just say, not to be all glass half full, which I do get into occasionally of being maybe too optimistic about this stuff, but I do think conversations like this are encouraging.

01:28:30.000 And the fact that these conversations are successful on platforms that people may be finding other Junk food, and yet can have real deep conversations, can be part of a community, even if it's a digital one, is actually a sign.

01:28:44.000 And again, I know we started with Tucker Carlson and the demise of Fox News.

01:28:47.000 It's another sign that corporate media is junk and that conversations like this are going to win out and actually connect with people in ways that it should.

01:28:56.000 These are the kinds of connections that people should be having.

01:28:59.000 Have you guys ever seen a Bronx Tale?

01:29:02.000 I've never seen it.

01:29:02.000 No.

01:29:03.000 You have seen it?

01:29:04.000 But someone posted a clip on Twitter today, and I watched it.

01:29:08.000 I've not seen the movie, but this clip was incredible.

01:29:10.000 It's, I think the movie's basically about like Italian mafia in the, what, like the 40s or something?

01:29:16.000 I think so.

01:29:16.000 I don't know.

01:29:17.000 What is it?

01:29:18.000 30s?

01:29:19.000 And so what happens is this guy is eating dinner with this kid.

01:29:23.000 He's taking, this is the mob boss, and a bunch of bikers were up to this bar and they're being loud.

01:29:27.000 He walks over to check out what's going on, and the owner is arguing with these bikers, saying, you're not dressed properly, you can't be in here.

01:29:34.000 And then the leader of the biker gang looks at the mob boss, and he's like, look man, we just want a couple beers, and we'll be out of here, we'll be out of our way, and he goes, spoken like a gentleman, give these men their beers.

01:29:43.000 And I was like, look at that, that's like, honorable.

01:29:46.000 Then, they immediately shake the beers up and spray the bartender, and then he walks in and says, okay, now that was wrong, you need to leave. 0.53

01:29:52.000 And then the guy, the biker guy says, like, I'll tell you when the f*** I'm leaving. 0.96

01:29:57.000 So the mob box walks over to the door and then locks it and he turns around and he goes,

01:30:01.000 now you just can't leave. And then the door opens and the guys come in and start just like beating

01:30:05.000 the crap out of the bikers. I'm not a big fan of how they mercilessly beat these guys, 0.55

01:30:10.000 but it got me thinking about how we used to handle things.

01:30:13.000 If some dude showed up not dressed properly, and we're kinda loud and obnoxious, but we're acting like gentlemen, we're like, the beer's on, by all means, have a beer, we're here to get along, you were nice to me, have a nice day.

01:30:24.000 But then when you cross that line, we say no to that.

01:30:27.000 I was thinking about that because what do we have now?

01:30:30.000 I'm watching a video of a woman in a shopping in like a Target or whatever just like beating some woman as they're like stealing stuff and everyone's just standing there filming or running away and I'm like man what a contrast to that scene from A Bronx Tale where they're like we'll be nice to you if you're nice to us but if you cross the line we're going to drag you out of here by your hair and then tell you to leave, knock your bikes over.

01:30:51.000 I mean the scene's amazing.

01:30:53.000 But it's very, very different these days, isn't it?

01:30:54.000 We let criminals run rampant.

01:30:57.000 Everyone's too scared to get involved.

01:30:59.000 And I think maybe, it's kind of obvious to a lot of people, the government will arrest you if you try to defend yourself. 1.00

01:31:04.000 Or nowadays you might get shot in the ass. 1.00

01:31:07.000 Well, yeah, you might get shot. 1.00

01:31:08.000 I mean, it's I'm not jumping in a fight.

01:31:10.000 Yeah, I'm not I wouldn't be the one that's standing there recording.

01:31:12.000 But I mean, you literally have to end it and it's sad that we're here.

01:31:15.000 But you have to think twice before you intervene in certain conflicts, especially if you're in an area like New York, where you're trying to protect your store.

01:31:23.000 From somebody who was robbing you with a weapon and you shoot him and you're the one that gets arrested.

01:31:28.000 Exactly.

01:31:28.000 And so this brings us to a point where it's not just that we lack civility, it's that our social institutions are actively anti-civility.

01:31:37.000 When you do something to try to protect and uphold the social order by preventing crime, you get in trouble for that.

01:31:44.000 Yep.

01:31:46.000 Wasn't that kind of a core tenet though of like this modern progressivism is the idea of deconstruction?

01:31:52.000 They want to deconstruct America, deconstruct these systems that have been established, but there's no indication of anything that they're supposed to replace it with.

01:31:52.000 Yep.

01:31:59.000 Well, I've said this before and I won't launch into my whole explanation for why I put it this way, but leftism is social decay.

01:32:05.000 That's what it is.

01:32:06.000 I mean, societies break down because things tend to over time.

01:32:09.000 We're a fallen species.

01:32:11.000 And leftism is the ideological rationalization we give to our abdication to uphold our institutions.

01:32:16.000 The chaos is the point.

01:32:18.000 Alright, let's go to Super Chats!

01:32:19.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends.

01:32:23.000 Head over to TimCast.com and click Join Us so that you can watch the members-only uncensored portion of the show.

01:32:30.000 We got a crazy story for you guys in the uncensored portion about a lawmaker who wants to remove certain language from a law that protects children, and I'm gonna keep it family-friendly, but, uh, yeah, it's not gonna be so family-friendly in the uncensored portion of the show.

01:32:44.000 But let's read those Super Chats!

01:32:46.000 We got S.A.

01:32:46.000 Federale who says, Tim, last night Max was Max Reddick, whose superchat you read before mine.

01:32:52.000 He cast shade on Crowder, who did nothing wrong.

01:32:55.000 I see a superchat like that, and I'm gonna push back.

01:32:58.000 We need people like Steven and you.

01:32:59.000 Thanks for giving airtime to Dylan Rattigan.

01:33:02.000 That rant from Dylan Rattigan was epic.

01:33:04.000 You know that one from back in the day?

01:33:05.000 No.

01:33:06.000 I love Dylan, though.

01:33:07.000 Where he's like, the Democrats are just kicking the can down the road, Republicans are burning it down while the country is being extracted!

01:33:13.000 He's dead!

01:33:14.000 He's like, they are taking $10 trillion and sending it overseas!

01:33:18.000 Did he say this on MSNBC?

01:33:19.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:33:19.000 That's awesome.

01:33:20.000 Dylan was one of my favorite people that I worked with back.

01:33:23.000 I mean, I didn't work with him, but I was a media reporter.

01:33:25.000 Super smart guy.

01:33:26.000 Ended up getting involved, I think, with marijuana.

01:33:29.000 Hydroponics and farming.

01:33:30.000 Yeah, really interesting dude.

01:33:32.000 Yeah, he's a cool dude.

01:33:33.000 I don't know where he's at these days.

01:33:36.000 I think I still follow him on Twitter.

01:33:36.000 No.

01:33:36.000 I don't know.

01:33:38.000 Yeah.

01:33:39.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr. 0.99

01:33:40.000 says, Biden's brain is broken and strained. 0.93

01:33:43.000 A great unifier treating half the country with disdain. 0.92

01:33:45.000 Billions to Ukraine.

01:33:48.000 His words equal a migraine.

01:33:50.000 If he's to remain, we'll see him grab his chest in pain.

01:33:53.000 FJB. 1.00

01:33:54.000 There you go, little rat. 0.98

01:33:56.000 Wendy Casker says, long time member. 0.99

01:33:58.000 Keep on keepin' on.

01:33:59.000 Really appreciate the super chat.

01:34:01.000 Grofty says, buck buck buck.

01:34:02.000 We're a big fan of the chickens.

01:34:03.000 Thank you very much.

01:34:05.000 Alright, what do we got here?

01:34:08.000 Doug Ripley says, sorry if I asked the last two nights, but what do you think Fox does next?

01:34:13.000 Logically, Waters to 8, McCallum back to 7.

01:34:16.000 If given into the spirit of the age, Jenner.

01:34:20.000 Caitlyn Jenner.

01:34:21.000 That's funny.

01:34:23.000 I gotta say, well, I mean, Jesse Waters back to eight makes sense.

01:34:28.000 I would not put Martha McCallum back to seven.

01:34:29.000 I think you gotta do another opinion person there at seven.

01:34:33.000 And who will it be?

01:34:34.000 I don't know.

01:34:34.000 I mean, I will have to say a shout out to my friend Will Kane, who I think is great.

01:34:38.000 Will is a frequent fill-in for Tucker, and I think he does a good job.

01:34:43.000 Maybe a little bit more in the Tucker camp than they would like, so I don't know if that's the direction they go.

01:34:47.000 And you got Brian Comede.

01:34:48.000 Holding it down.

01:34:49.000 Not doing so well on the ratings, but he's around.

01:34:52.000 Right on.

01:34:54.000 All right.

01:34:55.000 Rack Brass says, is Steve related to author John Krakauer?

01:34:59.000 I've gotten that a bunch.

01:35:00.000 No.

01:35:01.000 Same last name, which is a weird last name, but no.

01:35:03.000 Love Into the Wild, but not related.

01:35:05.000 Justin N. Pias says, Ian is going to leave you for Alec Stein's show.

01:35:12.000 I think he already did.

01:35:13.000 I think that's literally where he is right now.

01:35:16.000 He said he's never coming back.

01:35:18.000 Yeah.

01:35:18.000 He said, uh, Adrian is the new Ian.

01:35:21.000 Get it?

01:35:22.000 Adrian.

01:35:23.000 No, I know people in chat even like, dude, I like Ian's shiny new hat and stuff.

01:35:27.000 Yeah.

01:35:30.000 All right.

01:35:31.000 Doug Ripley says, Tim, heard from a little birdie Steve Deese gave you a screener of Nefarious when he did IRL.

01:35:37.000 Have you seen it?

01:35:38.000 One of the best movies I've seen in a long time.

01:35:39.000 Should be PG-13, not R. Get well soon, Steve.

01:35:45.000 People here watched it, and Seamus is like, we gotta go see it.

01:35:49.000 Yeah, I heard it was really good.

01:35:50.000 I've heard good things.

01:35:51.000 I've heard really good things, actually.

01:35:54.000 But yeah, I think we should go see it.

01:35:55.000 We'll figure it out.

01:35:57.000 Dude, let's do it.

01:35:59.000 All right.

01:36:02.000 Let's grab another one.

01:36:03.000 Char Deets says, tonight's views on Fox will be lower because many didn't know Tucker was gone until they tuned in last night.

01:36:10.000 That's right.

01:36:11.000 So the ratings will be even lower tonight.

01:36:14.000 Yeah.

01:36:15.000 It's going to drop down before it gets back up again.

01:36:17.000 I mean, I think that, you know, Monday's ratings weren't terrible, but I think that's because everyone expected Tucker to be there.

01:36:22.000 Right.

01:36:22.000 Exactly.

01:36:23.000 And now they're- Oh man, the key demo views are going to be like 50.

01:36:26.000 It's going to be bad.

01:36:28.000 Look, this was, it was really bad for them in November, 2020.

01:36:31.000 It bounced back up, but partially because of Tucker.

01:36:33.000 I don't know what helps them back up.

01:36:35.000 Crazy self-inflicted wound.

01:36:36.000 Yeah.

01:36:38.000 Guardsman says, even with no current job, Tucker Carlson is still competing in the same time slot.

01:36:45.000 Yup, and getting more views.

01:36:46.000 Ah, good for him. 0.89

01:36:47.000 Good troll. 0.91

01:36:48.000 Twitter network. 0.88

01:36:49.000 Can't slow that man down.

01:36:51.000 Sean McWilliams says, Tucker, invite to Timcast IRL.

01:36:55.000 That is a no brainer.

01:36:56.000 We have already reached out to Tucker's team and said we would love to have Tucker on the show.

01:37:02.000 Be fantastic.

01:37:04.000 We'll see what happens.

01:37:05.000 You know, we've invited lots of people on the show.

01:37:07.000 You know, they don't come on the show.

01:37:09.000 What are you gonna do?

01:37:11.000 Elon's been invited several times.

01:37:13.000 It is what it is.

01:37:15.000 All right, let's grab another super chat.

01:37:18.000 S.A.

01:37:18.000 Federale says, down with the monarchy, go with schedule F. Trump 20 infinity.

01:37:24.000 Kames O'jeef says, CSS glitch was perfect opportunity for, we need a complete and total shutdown of the post-millennial until we figure out what the hell is going on.

01:37:33.000 Uh-oh, Libby! 0.99

01:37:36.000 CSS error on one of your articles.

01:37:37.000 You know what, leave Libby alone, okay? 1.00

01:37:40.000 It's not her fault.

01:37:41.000 I love that, though.

01:37:42.000 It's like, we read a lot of post-millennial, so there'll be something and I'll be like, you can't say that, and then they'll go and change it.

01:37:47.000 Like, you know, he's right, we can't say.

01:37:49.000 There was one where they called child sex change as gender-affirming care.

01:37:52.000 And I was like, what are you guys doing?

01:37:54.000 And they were like, you're right, actually.

01:37:55.000 Here's what I said.

01:37:57.000 The right will say child genital mutilation.

01:37:59.000 The left will say gender-affirming care.

01:38:01.000 And I'm like, I don't need to use any hyperbolic language.

01:38:04.000 Child sex change operation.

01:38:07.000 Literally what it is.

01:38:08.000 That's it.

01:38:10.000 But I understand why the right wants to use the terminology they do, and I totally understand why the left is trying to use their terminology.

01:38:15.000 Everyone's trying to win a political battle.

01:38:16.000 Yeah, because you can't actually change sex. 0.88

01:38:18.000 Your biological sex can't be changed. 0.95

01:38:21.000 You can't mutilate your genitals. 1.00

01:38:23.000 So I think if conservatives go to a regular person and say they're mutilating children's genitals, that person will reject that notion and say, no, you're crazy. 0.98

01:38:32.000 If you say, child sex change, they'll be like, what? 0.74

01:38:36.000 It's a more neutral, it's like the literal academic term for what it is.

01:38:41.000 And plus, if you put child before anything, it's gonna get people's attention.

01:38:44.000 I mean, I think that's honestly why the issue has become such a hot button issue and a winning issue for the right is because it went from sex change operation to child sex change, well... To affirming care.

01:38:56.000 Yeah.

01:38:56.000 Yeah, there's a funny meme from 4chan where this person said when they were a kid, they loved the movie Predator.

01:39:02.000 So being young and wanting to play video games online, they made their user tag the child Predator and then started trying to add their friends and nobody would respond.

01:39:12.000 Yeah, it's a funny meme.

01:39:15.000 Christopher Fisher says, I keep hearing you talk about crypto and blockchain.

01:39:18.000 Have you considered to bring on Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano and co-founder of Ethereum?

01:39:24.000 He was asked recently in his podcast if he would go on your show, and he said he would if he was invited.

01:39:29.000 I think we invited him a long time ago directly, and then I don't know what happened.

01:39:32.000 So, I don't know.

01:39:34.000 I don't do booking.

01:39:35.000 Cassandra does.

01:39:36.000 I thought he was going to ask that.

01:39:37.000 You talk about crypto a lot.

01:39:38.000 Are you going to start Timcoin?

01:39:39.000 I'd love to buy in.

01:39:41.000 Never.

01:39:43.000 Agamemnon's Jimbag says, That's right!

01:39:45.000 Keep in mind that the upcoming Bud Earnings report is for quarter one, the protest was in quarter two,

01:39:51.000 so the effects won't show in this report. Don't let them gaslight you and say the boycott isn't

01:39:54.000 working. That's right, we can already see that it is. Mojave26 says, will Tucker Carlson becoming

01:40:01.000 independent help him to reach more undecided voters and hopefully convince them to vote

01:40:04.000 conservative?

01:40:06.000 Maybe.

01:40:07.000 Maybe not.

01:40:08.000 That's a good question.

01:40:09.000 I mean, Fox News is a giant platform, but Tucker has enough Avenues to reach people that it's it's not gonna have a problem if he can work out the deal Which obviously is up in the air every day.

01:40:23.000 It feels like something else is happening Obviously, no one thought he'd be able to put a video out tonight based on his contract.

01:40:28.000 That's not a violation of his contract So he didn't say anything though, right?

01:40:28.000 Clearly.

01:40:32.000 He just he was very careful He didn't say anything about why he left but if he can actually get his voice out sooner than later I don't think he's having a problem convincing anyone of anything I just want to point out that Luke has been spamming the chat, just ragging on Seamus non-stop.

01:40:44.000 I know, he's such a little baby.

01:40:47.000 Every single time I'm on this show, I can look, I can always count on him to watch me.

01:40:52.000 Appreciate it, Luke.

01:40:53.000 Matthew Schneider says, since people are boycotting Anheuser-Busch, wouldn't it also be helpful to boycott or protest Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia and Tampa, Florida?

01:41:01.000 I'm sure they're making tons of money from their amusement parks.

01:41:04.000 I don't know if we need to protest.

01:41:05.000 It sounds like work.

01:41:06.000 This is the easiest culture war battle ever because it's literally just buy a different beer.

01:41:12.000 Not doing something.

01:41:13.000 Yeah, you're not doing anything.

01:41:15.000 You're just like, when you go to the store get Coors instead of Bud.

01:41:17.000 And then you win.

01:41:19.000 It's easy.

01:41:19.000 There we go.

01:41:21.000 Infernal Saxon says run Roberto Jr.

01:41:23.000 on the Democratic ticket.

01:41:25.000 So for Cast Brew Coffee, I want to be careful what I say.

01:41:32.000 I think we've sold way more than we expected, I'll put it that way, of Roberto Jr.' 's Rise with Roberto Jr.

01:41:39.000 breakfast blend.

01:41:40.000 And it's because everyone's just, they love Roberto Jr.

01:41:43.000 He's our rooster.

01:41:44.000 And we raised him, he's Roberto's son.

01:41:47.000 Some people say he's on a throne he did not build.

01:41:49.000 Wow.

01:41:50.000 Yeah, very strong words.

01:41:51.000 But that one is selling like hotcakes.

01:41:54.000 So we're, uh, we officially put in the order.

01:41:56.000 We've got the, uh, decaf is currently underway.

01:41:59.000 Sleepy Joe!

01:42:01.000 I love that.

01:42:02.000 Sleepy Joe is our decaf blend.

01:42:04.000 It's a dark roast.

01:42:05.000 And then I think we're doing Unwoke is the decaf light roast.

01:42:09.000 Makes sense.

01:42:10.000 Yeah.

01:42:11.000 That's right.

01:42:12.000 And it was from our Discord members helped with those names.

01:42:15.000 So Sleepy Joe, that's a really good name.

01:42:18.000 That is a very, very good name for decaf, to be honest.

01:42:21.000 Sleepy Joe.

01:42:22.000 I don't think there is a single better name for a political decaf brand of coffee.

01:42:27.000 I don't think you could come up with one.

01:42:29.000 Sleepy Joe.

01:42:31.000 Yeah.

01:42:32.000 And then we have Stand Your Grounds.

01:42:34.000 Oh, man.

01:42:35.000 I think that one's a medium roast.

01:42:37.000 He's got Roberto Jr.

01:42:38.000 on it.

01:42:38.000 Here's a little picture of him, and he's yelling.

01:42:41.000 Roberto Jr.' 's a good dude, you know?

01:42:43.000 He's got an AR-15.

01:42:45.000 Nope, nope, just as, uh, just as, look, what makes the rooster noble is that, without weapons, they will run full speed to their deaths to save their hens.

01:42:55.000 It's a beast.

01:42:56.000 So when, like, a predator shows up, the rooster will charge it, knowing it will die, if it gives the hens a few moments to flee and get to safety.

01:43:03.000 And everybody's always ragging on chickens like they're scared.

01:43:06.000 Are you kidding?

01:43:06.000 Roosters are brave, man.

01:43:08.000 And it is crazy to me because anybody who has chickens knows roosters will attack you.

01:43:12.000 Yeah.

01:43:13.000 They're not scared at all. 1.00

01:43:14.000 They're kind of stupid. 1.00

01:43:16.000 Exactly. 1.00

01:43:16.000 Don't come at me, bro. 1.00

01:43:17.000 But principled.

01:43:18.000 I mean, maybe this is a good symbol for our discussion about our culture.

01:43:22.000 We need to be the roosters.

01:43:23.000 It used to be.

01:43:23.000 It used to be considered a powerful, noble, holy symbol, the chicken and the rooster.

01:43:28.000 And roosters were on a lot of flags and iconography were roosters.

01:43:34.000 And that's why I'm like, we're taking rooster back, baby.

01:43:36.000 But think about human males fleeing in these videos.

01:43:41.000 Like a woman is getting beaten in a target and the guy's like, I don't want to be involved.

01:43:44.000 Then you look at a rooster and it's like, I might die, but I'm going to try and save my, my hens.

01:43:48.000 And then it runs full speed into a fox's mouth.

01:43:50.000 It's like, wow.

01:43:51.000 The Chad rooster.

01:43:52.000 Yeah.

01:43:54.000 The soy Jack human.

01:43:56.000 I gotta stop.

01:43:57.000 I have a problem.

01:43:58.000 We don't need goats.

01:43:59.000 We don't need a donkeys or we just need the roosters.

01:44:02.000 Roosters are legit, man.

01:44:03.000 And chickens are funny, too.

01:44:04.000 They do their thing.

01:44:05.000 They give us eggs.

01:44:06.000 They're good stuff.

01:44:07.000 Principal Paladin of the Great Pope Tato says the followers of Bert the Craven are worshipping a false idol.

01:44:14.000 Seamus is prophesied to lead us to glory in the Church of the Sacred Spud.

01:44:18.000 Pass basket.

01:44:20.000 This is just- listen.

01:44:21.000 You gotta get into Discord.

01:44:23.000 Oh, is this what they're going on about?

01:44:24.000 Is this what they're- listen, um, I don't like the potato labels.

01:44:24.000 Yeah.

01:44:28.000 They're very offensive to me, and I've told you guys before, but I just- I think the more I tell you, the more you do it, so I'm just gonna have to embrace it.

01:44:34.000 I love the potato label.

01:44:35.000 Hequibus says, Shamus, does Luke's chair smell like Trump derangement syndrome? 0.90

01:44:39.000 Oh, it smells way grosser than that. 0.96

01:44:42.000 Yeah.

01:44:43.000 I gotta tell you about Luke.

01:44:45.000 We'd get a super chat and they would be like, that one time Trump saved that box of puppies from the fire was great.

01:44:50.000 And Trump would be like, but we don't know if he didn't put them in there.

01:44:52.000 Maybe he put those puppies in the fire.

01:44:54.000 And you know, the report, I'm just kidding Luke.

01:44:56.000 No, we're not.

01:44:57.000 He's at home going, we're making fun of you for real.

01:45:00.000 By the way, Luke, my name is going to be placed under this chair.

01:45:04.000 Wait, did he say Luke Gangstrong?

01:45:13.000 Bro, are you one of your own fans?

01:45:15.000 Oh, I get it.

01:45:17.000 He forgot to switch from his sock puppet account and he accidentally posted it from We Are Change.

01:45:22.000 How embarrassing.

01:45:23.000 Alright, ADP says the problem.

01:45:25.000 Blackrock, State Street, Vanguard own everything.

01:45:27.000 They want ESG perversion. 0.79

01:45:29.000 Fox loses 50% of its viewers but gains 50% more adverts from Nike, J&J, Unilever, etc.

01:45:35.000 How do you overcome that?

01:45:36.000 Just gotta keep doing what you're doing.

01:45:37.000 Because those adverts don't mean anything if nobody's buying those products.

01:45:40.000 The circulation won't be there, so just gotta keep on keeping on.

01:45:44.000 Keep it up.

01:45:47.000 What do we got?

01:45:48.000 Renault, uh...

01:45:50.000 Renovation says, sounds like Tucker might house debates.

01:45:53.000 Might be wrong, but think on it.

01:45:55.000 Maybe.

01:45:56.000 Who knows what he'll do.

01:45:58.000 If they have debates.

01:46:00.000 They gotta get Trump to agree.

01:46:00.000 They gotta have them, yeah.

01:46:03.000 Tuesday's Chowd says, for Steve Krakauer, do you think Megan would moderate a debate on her show? 0.99

01:46:08.000 For sure, we'd love to.

01:46:09.000 Yeah, I mean, I think Megan's moderated debates before, and most notably with Trump. 0.98

01:46:16.000 Right, when he called Roger Donald a fat pig, right? 0.98

01:46:17.000 Yes, yes. 0.96

01:46:18.000 And then after that, you know, had a grudge against Megan for months after that, and called a whole bunch of stuff.

01:46:23.000 So yes, no, she's fantastic. 0.84

01:46:26.000 She's great, though.

01:46:27.000 She's a fantastic debate moderator, and she'd love to do it again, I'm sure. 0.99

01:46:30.000 We'd love to do that.

01:46:31.000 Right on.

01:46:32.000 Let's grab some more.

01:46:34.000 Did I read this one?

01:46:35.000 Uh, S.A.

01:46:35.000 Federale says, working class drinker here speaking for us.

01:46:38.000 I loved a bush latte.

01:46:40.000 A bush light.

01:46:42.000 Until this bee came out saying, Miller High Life is the champagne of beers now.

01:46:47.000 That was a period there.

01:46:49.000 I didn't say the entirety of the super chat.

01:46:52.000 Alright, what do we got?

01:46:56.000 Track Media Only says, one of the greatest things the left has done up to this point was convince the right they didn't boycott.

01:47:02.000 Mhmm.

01:47:04.000 Is that what they're, like, convincing the right not to boycott?

01:47:06.000 Well, so what happens every single time conservatives say anything bothers them, they go, the left goes, I thought you were against cancel culture!

01:47:14.000 As if being against cancel culture means you're never upset about anything that happens anywhere for any reason.

01:47:20.000 And you'll buy any product from anyone.

01:47:22.000 Exactly.

01:47:23.000 So it's like a guy who's, you know, literally in prison for killing someone and you're like, there's no problem here.

01:47:30.000 Exactly.

01:47:30.000 I'll hire him to go to my preschool.

01:47:32.000 The judge sentences him and the guy's like, I thought you were against cancel culture, bro.

01:47:36.000 But that's also the distinction.

01:47:38.000 There might be people who want Bud Light to get shut down, but I don't think that's what a lot of the people who are boycotting Bud Light feel.

01:47:44.000 I think they're just saying, I'm not buying that.

01:47:46.000 I'm not going to support that.

01:47:47.000 And if we get enough people to do that, they're going to lose money and that's going to affect what they do.

01:47:51.000 I do think it may not actually be the boycott.

01:47:54.000 I think the boycott may be much smaller than we realize.

01:47:57.000 And what's really driving this is that middle-aged dudes don't want to look gay.

01:48:03.000 Well, that is a kind of boycott, but that is a boycott.

01:48:06.000 I mean in a literal sense, like, they associate Bud Light with LGBTQ, and they don't want to be perceived that way.

01:48:14.000 In this moment, yeah.

01:48:15.000 So they're just like, I'm not gonna buy that.

01:48:17.000 People are gonna think things about me, you know what I mean?

01:48:19.000 Yeah, if you don't like Bud Light enough, like if the alternatives are okay enough for you, then you're gonna be fine if you just find an alternative in the short term.

01:48:26.000 Aaron Cowell says, check out Edgar Watches.

01:48:29.000 Aside from good product, they make specific and directed anti-woke ads.

01:48:32.000 I saw that!

01:48:33.000 Edgar... Edgard Watches.

01:48:33.000 That looks pretty cool.

01:48:36.000 There's a viral video.

01:48:37.000 They had an ad, I guess.

01:48:37.000 It was, like, very anti-woke.

01:48:40.000 What do we got?

01:48:42.000 Korek says, Tim, they recently adopted, saying they are for America and the Betsy Ross flag is no longer racist.

01:48:49.000 Who?

01:48:49.000 Bud... Bud... Bud Lighter?

01:48:51.000 What are you talking about?

01:48:53.000 No idea.

01:48:54.000 Gravity says, fortunate son is badass.

01:48:56.000 That is correct.

01:48:58.000 Fortunate son is badass.

01:49:02.000 Alexander Scarpeggio says, Tucker Carlson's ex-producer sounds like someone the Biden admin would hire.

01:49:07.000 That's my question, like what's the vetting process at Fox News?

01:49:10.000 But this is what people don't realize, Fox News employees are liberals.

01:49:13.000 They live in New York City.

01:49:15.000 They are not conservatives.

01:49:16.000 Yeah, in the book I track, you could Spent about an hour and a half and hit the headquarters of Fox News, which is across the street from the headquarters of NBC, CNN, CBS, New York Times, Wall Street Journal.

01:49:29.000 It's all in a very, like, 20-block radius.

01:49:33.000 And Fox News, you know, yes, they cater to a different audience, but they're right in that same area.

01:49:38.000 It's not as different as people think.

01:49:40.000 Nat Heisenberg says, tell us about the black sheep hat, please.

01:49:45.000 I got a debacle.

01:49:47.000 I don't know.

01:49:48.000 I thought it was a cool hat.

01:49:48.000 I saw it online.

01:49:49.000 There's no story behind it.

01:49:50.000 I wish I had a cool story, but yeah, I just love the hat.

01:49:52.000 There you go.

01:49:52.000 It's shiny.

01:49:53.000 It is shiny.

01:49:54.000 I do like how shiny it is.

01:50:01.000 Roger Page says, I have to strongly disagree with Tim on kids not wanting to be like others.

01:50:05.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:50:06.000 I didn't say that.

01:50:07.000 You see what you did there?

01:50:08.000 When kids play house, they want to be like their parents.

01:50:11.000 When kids play pretend, they want to be like someone else, maybe even a non-existent ideal.

01:50:15.000 I never said we have to ask ourselves why kids want to be like someone else.

01:50:20.000 I'm saying why they so desperately want to be someone other than themselves.

01:50:24.000 It is a fact that people want to be like other people, but they are themselves.

01:50:29.000 They're like, I'm me, this is what I look like, and if you want to be like someone else, you exercise, you get fit, you practice, you train, and you make yourself better.

01:50:36.000 I'm specifically talking about people who don't even want to be in their own bodies, they want to be in video games, they want to be in avatars, or they want to be a different race or gender or something.

01:50:44.000 Not what they literally are.

01:50:47.000 But I do agree with your assessment, I just think you misinterpreted mine.

01:50:51.000 I think kids absolutely imitate and want to be like other people.

01:50:55.000 Still themselves though.

01:50:58.000 Okay, let's grab some more Super Chats over here.

01:51:01.000 What do we got?

01:51:05.000 Ooh, read that one.

01:51:08.000 Read that one, read that one.

01:51:10.000 Oh, I went too far back.

01:51:12.000 Went too far back.

01:51:13.000 It jumps, you know, because, like, super gentle will all come flying.

01:51:16.000 Bobcat says, Tim, I'm glad to see you giving a job to a failed artist like Seamus.

01:51:21.000 Have you thought about heading up to the Rod of Iron Freedom Festival?

01:51:24.000 I was really concerned when, you know, Seamus, an art student and Where he might go if he didn't have proper support, and he may end up working for the Democrats.

01:51:35.000 Yeah, no, that's exactly it.

01:51:36.000 I was about to start Commie Tunes, and then Tim came along and he said, you don't have to live that life, Shane.

01:51:41.000 I will voice Dr. Fauci to save your company.

01:51:44.000 That's what happened.

01:51:45.000 Yep, the Freedom Tunes is funded because Tim pays me to voice Dr. Fauci.

01:51:49.000 That's where we get all of our money.

01:51:50.000 No, no, no, no, it was failing.

01:51:52.000 Until I voice Dr. Fauci in a masterpiece.

01:51:57.000 It's true.

01:51:58.000 Of the Lord of the Rings bit.

01:51:59.000 I won't deny it.

01:52:00.000 It's true.

01:52:01.000 It's your best work.

01:52:02.000 The Lord of the Rings one.

01:52:04.000 It was an incredible video.

01:52:06.000 We wrapped up a show and then I can't remember exactly what it was. 0.99

01:52:09.000 We were just riffing and saying stupid things and you said, I was there the day the strength of Trump failed and I was cracking up. 0.99

01:52:16.000 We did this whole improv thing. 0.99

01:52:18.000 The original improv we did was way longer than the video.

01:52:23.000 It was like 10 minutes long.

01:52:25.000 I read the script.

01:52:26.000 You read the script explaining it as The day the strength of Trump failed.

01:52:33.000 And then I was like Trump giving his testimony and I was basically like retelling the Lion King and like Trump is Mufasa and Fauci is Scar.

01:52:42.000 And then we did a really offensive one that you said you would never upload.

01:52:45.000 Oh my gosh, I feel like we did more than one.

01:52:48.000 There's one, we definitely did a very offensive one.

01:52:51.000 It's a Fauci one.

01:52:53.000 Yeah, so Fauci is in Hollywood.

01:52:56.000 Oh my gosh, that's one.

01:52:58.000 There's a few.

01:52:58.000 there we've got a very hard to use the idea that there's there's a few you

01:53:02.000 want to get a job in this area gotta let me a stick it in up there where there was a couple that i mean ever 1.00

01:53:09.000 We never had that one!

01:53:10.000 No, I was like, I'm not making that.

01:53:12.000 I was like, there's no way, there's no way.

01:53:15.000 Save it because I can't get enough Fauci.

01:53:17.000 I mean, he is not going to go away and the tide is kind of turning on him now.

01:53:21.000 I feel like with enough people that it's only going to get better.

01:53:24.000 I mean, I want more Dr. Fauci.

01:53:25.000 I do have to say, the Fauci one I did, Blaming a Bat, that Tim also reprised his Fauci voice in.

01:53:33.000 Oh, that was good.

01:53:34.000 Everyone on the team, we were all very happy with that one and how it turned out.

01:53:38.000 When the bat goes, meh! 0.96

01:53:42.000 Yeah, it was mocking making a murderer or whatever.

01:53:45.000 It was just like all of those crime shows.

01:53:46.000 You guys have to check it out.

01:53:48.000 Just go to Freedom Tunes and check out the Lab League cartoon we did with Fauci.

01:53:52.000 It's Blaming a Bat.

01:53:55.000 I really do think Seamus should have put it up, but Seamus was like, it's too grotesque.

01:53:55.000 Oh man, the Fauci one.

01:53:59.000 That's right.

01:54:00.000 And it was like... I have standards, too.

01:54:03.000 Who were you worried about offending, Fauci or Harvey Weinstein?

01:54:05.000 No, I just, I usually just don't get, like, too blue with the humor.

01:54:08.000 I don't get sexual.

01:54:11.000 Yeah, it was pretty awful.

01:54:13.000 Alright, where were we at?

01:54:16.000 James Madison's Go says, did you hear that trans-Minnesota rep introduced Bill HF1655 To remove... All right, we're gonna read it.

01:54:26.000 To remove pedos as an exclusion to the protected class of sexual orientation.

01:54:31.000 We will go into detail on that because it's kind of a freaky story and not very family-friendly over at TimCast.com in the Uncensored Members Only Show.

01:54:40.000 So that'll be on the front page of TimCast.com at about 10, 10 p.m.

01:54:43.000 Eastern.

01:54:43.000 You'll want to be a member to watch that and we'll take some calls from the audience.

01:54:46.000 But let's read some more.

01:54:49.000 Ted Thornton says, Indoctrinate your kids with truths as soon as possible when they are a sponge.

01:54:54.000 The more of us that do this, the more likely it spreads through friend groups and counter to public education.

01:54:59.000 Kids understand more than we think.

01:55:02.000 I agree.

01:55:03.000 Kids are smart. 1.00

01:55:04.000 It's always weird that people would say, like, kids are so dumb. 1.00

01:55:07.000 They're not. 1.00

01:55:07.000 They're actually really smart, they just lack information. 1.00

01:55:10.000 So there's a difference between not being smart and lacking information.

01:55:14.000 There's a lot of people who are very, very smart but lack information, and you'll be like, I can't believe you didn't know this, but they're really good at, like, math and solving problems and things like that.

01:55:21.000 Yeah, their brains aren't fully formed to the point where they can really make logical decisions or work their way through things, but they remember things in such an incredible manner.

01:55:34.000 They start going down that road of logic, though, I have to say.

01:55:36.000 The things that seem illogical now in our politics, like, I have a six-year-old, and it's like, even if you start to scratch the surface, it's like, wait, why?

01:55:44.000 That's actually a good point.

01:55:50.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:55:51.000 says Roberto Jr.

01:55:52.000 is the second best junior.

01:55:55.000 He's the first best junior.

01:55:58.000 Where are we at?

01:55:59.000 Jeremy Wien says, someone needs to make that picture a rooster facing a predator.

01:56:04.000 We have a flag.

01:56:05.000 It's a stand your ground flag, and it's Roberto Junior, our rooster, like, standing tall with his wings out.

01:56:11.000 The rooster has to be protecting kids from a drag queen story hour. 1.00

01:56:15.000 The rooster's, like, in between the kids.

01:56:17.000 I kind of just like the idea that he's protecting the chickens from a snake or something.

01:56:21.000 He could just be, he could go around, he has to protect children because human men won't. 1.00

01:56:27.000 He runs into danger, that's what he does.

01:56:27.000 Yep.

01:56:30.000 Kamala Norris says, women want real men. 0.98

01:56:32.000 I only see real men on your show.

01:56:34.000 Tucker will do fine.

01:56:36.000 is done because real men say so.

01:56:36.000 A.B.

01:56:39.000 Yeah.

01:56:40.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:56:42.000 Scott Dietrich says, Busch Gardens is not associated with Anheuser-Busch as of a few years ago.

01:56:46.000 They are separate companies.

01:56:48.000 Hmm.

01:56:49.000 Well, there you go.

01:56:52.000 What do we have?

01:56:53.000 The... Bell... Belch says, the Brent Mason Tele is the Tucker Carlson of Timcast.

01:56:59.000 Bring it back.

01:57:00.000 It's just right there.

01:57:00.000 It's like, it's over on that side.

01:57:02.000 And then I have the Harmony Silhouette behind me.

01:57:04.000 Everybody likes the Brent Mason, I guess.

01:57:06.000 I like the colors, but I play the Silhouette more, so... It's a good guitar.

01:57:12.000 Where we at?

01:57:14.000 Roger Page says, that was a good response.

01:57:16.000 Thank you, Tim.

01:57:17.000 Well, thank you for your Super Chat.

01:57:20.000 Ooh, what is this?

01:57:20.000 Michael T.B.

01:57:21.000 says, Amusement Park's only thing wholly owned by Anheuser-Busch.

01:57:25.000 So, Busch Gardens is... different, I guess?

01:57:28.000 Hmm.

01:57:30.000 Mac Rabbit says, In the Hispanic culture, they call the dad, new father's, el gallo.

01:57:35.000 Pronounced gallo, rooster.

01:57:36.000 That's right.

01:57:37.000 El gallo means the rooster.

01:57:39.000 Buck.

01:57:41.000 Derek Manson says, Potato Boy vs. Funky Last Name T-Shirt Guy Feud of the Century.

01:57:45.000 That's right!

01:57:47.000 I can accept those names.

01:57:48.000 Funky Last Name T-Shirt Boy.

01:57:50.000 He's so jealous.

01:57:51.000 He's so jealous.

01:57:52.000 We got a Polish rooster.

01:57:56.000 Mail order in an ag and then you incubate him.

01:57:58.000 And when he hatched, he's a Polish rooster. 0.95

01:58:02.000 He has a cool haircut where his hair comes out and it parts down the middle.

01:58:06.000 And he's blonde and he's got a big nose.

01:58:08.000 And Luke was here and he was like, he looks just like me.

01:58:12.000 He's Polish and he's got a big nose. 1.00

01:58:14.000 So we named him Little Luke.

01:58:16.000 And now I tell people, not only does he have the parted hair and a big nose, but he screams a lot.

01:58:20.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:58:21.000 Does he stick up for the chickens?

01:58:23.000 Well, he actually is separated because the Polish chickens and roosters have domed heads, so you don't want to mix them because if they peck each other, they'll die. 1.00

01:58:32.000 Oh, wow.

01:58:32.000 It'll give them a concussion and then... Oh, yeah.

01:58:34.000 And then they eat the body.

01:58:35.000 Because chickens are brutal, dude. 0.77

01:58:37.000 They are brutal animals, honestly.

01:58:39.000 Yeah.

01:58:43.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:58:43.000 says, Tim, harumph, I say.

01:58:45.000 It's a poem, not a rap, amigo.

01:58:47.000 Oh, well, there you go.

01:58:47.000 You know, I read your poem.

01:58:49.000 I read your poem.

01:58:50.000 Vanity says, started a YouTube channel talking politics from blue collar.

01:58:54.000 When I get the play button, will you do a kickflip on it, Tim?

01:58:57.000 First Super Chat, by the way.

01:58:58.000 You're gonna send me your button and you want me to kickflip on it?

01:59:01.000 You know what we could do?

01:59:02.000 I have a bunch of those Golden Play Awards from YouTube.

01:59:06.000 I think we have like five.

01:59:08.000 And we use one of them to prop the window open.

01:59:11.000 We just like stick it in the window and it's, you know.

01:59:13.000 But we could mount it to some trucks and skateboard on it.

01:59:17.000 That'd be funny.

01:59:18.000 Do you get that at a million?

01:59:19.000 Yeah.

01:59:20.000 Okay.

01:59:20.000 Yeah, we're nearing that at the Megyn Kelly show, I have to say.

01:59:22.000 We got like one on the floor.

01:59:23.000 That's the one we used to prop up in the window.

01:59:26.000 Yeah, because it's just, it is kind of funny.

01:59:28.000 I'm sure there are people out there that are like, I wish I had one of those.

01:59:30.000 And it's like, yeah, but a million used to be something bigger than it is now.

01:59:35.000 Cuz there was a period where it was really, really hard.

01:59:38.000 Now, there's like a million channels in the millions.

01:59:40.000 Like, everybody's got one.

01:59:41.000 You know?

01:59:41.000 And then people buy fake ones or whatever.

01:59:43.000 You know what?

01:59:44.000 Calm down, Tim.

01:59:44.000 Okay?

01:59:45.000 A million's an accomplishment.

01:59:47.000 Well, yeah, no, for sure.

01:59:47.000 I mean, we have a bunch of them.

01:59:48.000 Oh, I'm Tim.

01:59:49.000 I'm too cool to think having a million subscribers is cool.

01:59:52.000 We got this right here.

01:59:54.000 Look at this one.

01:59:55.000 This is heavy.

01:59:56.000 The Rumble Award.

01:59:57.000 But I just got to say to the Rumble guys, it says Timcast IRL 500,000 followers.

02:00:03.000 We don't have 500,000 followers on Rumble.

02:00:06.000 Wow.

02:00:06.000 Hold on.

02:00:07.000 Let me see what you have on Rumble right now.

02:00:08.000 It's like 375 or 400 or something.

02:00:11.000 You don't deserve a one of them.

02:00:13.000 But the actual account has like a million or something.

02:00:16.000 You have 387,000.

02:00:17.000 Yeah, yeah, that's true.

02:00:18.000 And then the multiple channels on it add up to like 800 or 900,000 or something like that.

02:00:23.000 I think that's why they sent it, but they just put, instead of putting Tim, I think Tim Gasteyerall might be the account name.

02:00:28.000 So if you look at the channel, it just says 300 or whatever.

02:00:32.000 But I guess on Rumble, one account has multiple channels and the followers count towards the one account or something.

02:00:37.000 But this is cool.

02:00:37.000 This is super heavy.

02:00:39.000 That's like, you could hurt somebody with this thing.

02:00:42.000 Anyway.

02:00:43.000 Rumpelstiltskin's throwing out lots of money, you know?

02:00:45.000 Crowder, Russell Brand, it's kind of interesting.

02:00:47.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:00:48.000 It's interesting.

02:00:49.000 But more importantly is the skateboarding stuff they're doing in video games.

02:00:52.000 They're getting outside of politics now.
