Nikki Haley refuses to debate unless Donald Trump is there, Ron DeSantis says he will debate, and it's now a two-person race. Plus, a report that China has a new virus that has a 100% kill rate in the mice that it infected.
00:01:03.000And I think they're hoping that in places like New York City and California and Illinois, when they have their Republican primaries, Democrats show out in force for Nikki Haley.
00:01:13.000And then it doesn't matter if Joe Biden is running for the Democratic ticket, because if it's Biden versus Haley, you get a Democrat either way.
00:01:19.000So we'll talk about that, but Vivek Ramaswamy announced last night that he was dropping out of the race, and I think we kind of realized it because, you know, we really like Vivek, he's a great guy, but with all due respect, he did cancel on us while we had scheduled him for the show that Monday, and I think it's fairly obvious why.
00:01:38.000When the results came in, they were a lot worse than I think Vivek's campaign expected, and so while he was supposed to join us here on Timcast IRL, he ended up not showing up.
00:01:48.000And I think we all kind of realized what was about to happen.
00:02:08.000And we'll talk about the primary process and where we're going.
00:02:11.000A lot of this stuff going on today with GOP primary related stuff, but there is a big story that I think we may get into.
00:02:17.000A report from the Daily Mail that China has gained a function to research a new virus that has a 100% kill rate in the mice that it infected, so we're glad to hear that.
00:02:29.000Especially when we're talking about World War III and all that stuff, so great.

00:04:51.000Joining us tonight to talk about this and everything else is Adam Weiss.
00:06:55.000Nope, I woke up, got to work, and then I was excited to try snowboarding, because we finally have snow, but there's no bays, so it just sinks into the grass.
00:07:54.000That's the biggest ever, I think the past record was 12%, yet Trump's gonna win, everybody's wasting their time.
00:08:01.000However, what do we get from, what was it, I think MSNBC said, I think it was Joy Reid, she's like, you know, Iowa's all white Christians, so they're of course gonna swing for Trump.
00:08:10.000I think they're laying out their plan for Nikki Haley.
00:08:28.000The election is happening right now, and when the primaries go to California, Illinois, and New York, all of these urban liberals are going to show up as Republicans to vote for Nikki Haley.
00:08:38.000Yeah, well, a lot of Democrats have been giving money to Nikki Haley, and we've seen that.
00:08:41.000We've seen Nikki Haley donors bragging, essentially, about how Nikki Haley gets all of this Democrat money, and they're all really happy about it.
00:08:49.000And also you had Joy Reid, who, yeah, like my social media team last night was checking out Joy Reid as well, and she was saying that Joy Reid lost because of racism.
00:09:00.000So they're already embracing her with their stupid ethos.
00:09:11.000Does Nikki Haley appear on the ballots as Nimrata or Nikki?
00:09:17.000I think one of the interesting things, oh go ahead.
00:09:19.000I said like a few months ago, I said to a small network, I said, why don't you host this, they said, the GOP wants like a million bucks.
00:09:26.000I said, what is this, a money making scheme?
00:09:28.000So they want to, the GOP, the National Committee wants to take a ton of money from the outlets, then they want the donors to pay, they invite all the donors to sit in.
00:09:35.000So I feel like this whole thing's just a money making scheme for a year, that's all it basically is.
00:09:40.000This is their biggest money generating time period, I would assume, an election year.
00:09:45.000Basically, the system they have built doesn't work in this case.
00:09:48.000I mean, I was watching CBS last night when they were doing all of the election coverage, and they immediately went into, can you believe that despite all these self-inflicted wounds that Trump has incurred, you know, skipping the debate, he is still managing to win?
00:10:00.000Which, by the way, was completely predicted.
00:10:02.000I mean, they do not want him to be the nominee so badly, but it's just at this point impossible to deny.
00:10:08.000Instead of adapting to the current reality, they're trying to say, he is unpredictable
00:10:14.000and we don't know how this would happen.
00:10:15.000The only person that shocked us was Vivek.
00:10:17.000I mean, he rose from zero to eight, right?
00:10:19.000He was a wunderkind, amazing spokesperson.
00:10:22.000But if we all sat here a year ago, the results would have been the same.
00:11:24.000I can safely say tonight, Iowa made this Republican primary a two person race.
00:11:34.000I despise this woman, but this is like an episode of Veep because as she's saying this at the bottom of the screen, it shows Trump and DeSantis in the top two positions.
00:11:48.000It's almost like Curb Your Enthusiasm or Veep.
00:11:51.000She's just so oblivious to the fact that she lost.
00:11:53.000She's the meme of the guy cheering and spraying the champagne and biting the metal and then he's in third place and it's like, you lost, lady?
00:12:00.000Somewhere along the line, we started giving out trophies to second place, to third place, to make kids feel good in high school and elementary school.
00:12:07.000This is like Nikki giving herself a trophy after she lost.
00:12:10.000To be fair, we do give first, second, and third place because in the Olympics, you've got thousands or millions of people.
00:12:17.000But when the race is literally four people, you don't get a medal for coming in bottom 50%.
00:12:23.000Technically it was five, because as I found out today, Asa Hutchins was in fact there.
00:13:05.000And exclusionary and, you know, like they don't do anything good for him.
00:13:11.000When we say that Vivek is running the campaign, we hoped Ron DeSantis would, you look now at Vivek hugging Donald Trump on stage at a rally while they chant VP and it's like, I'm just imagining Ron is outside at the window looking in with like a single tear rolling down his cheek like, that could be me.
00:13:26.000And it's cold, there's the wind chill.
00:13:51.000Whereas Vivek has really presented himself in this beautiful, open, communicative light, which I think is what people want, especially from young candidates.
00:13:58.000They are similar ages, they have similar age children, and yet they seem very different.
00:14:19.000On Wednesday, when we did this town hall, the TimCast team was like, they come to me and they go, we asked everyone who's coming to the show to write down a question, and then we're gonna go through them and figure out which ones are good.
00:14:29.000And I'm like, no, that sounds terrible.
00:15:22.000She was confused, she made a terrible case, he was able to trounce it in a second, and then there was a clip of DeSantis dealing with a heckler being like, no, I'm doing this, I'm doing this.
00:15:32.000You know, no respect, no consideration at all, just sort of, you know, like, muscling his way past the guy.
00:15:48.000Somebody got COVID, one of the chefs, so they still went ahead with the fundraiser, but it was closed.
00:15:53.000About 80 people, these old colleagues and friends I had from Long Island, they hosted it for DeSantis.
00:15:57.000March of 2021, so he was still a year to go, running for a second term.
00:16:04.000I go in there, I'm with my dad, I'm with other friends, I'm very close to the governor, I'm trying to talk to him, I'm getting nothing out of him.
00:16:11.000I'm doing my best, I just moved here from New York, it's terrible, the policies, I couldn't get anything out of him that I remember.
00:16:18.000If you meet the sitting governor, who's doing a great job, I'm trying to get a conversation, and nothing's coming out of him, no personality.
00:16:38.000In that little, you know, moment in time.
00:16:41.000And that Trump held those last fundraisers for DeSantis, that sticks out.
00:16:46.000And that kind of sums up the personalities.
00:16:47.000I'll tell you the first story I've ever heard of Donald Trump outside of like the media.
00:16:51.000I was in Chicago and I met this guy who was a music producer, young guy, like, you know, college music producer.
00:16:57.000And he said that he was, I think he was doing some kind of delivery.
00:17:01.000When he's going to Trump Tower to drop off a package or something, Donald Trump is coming up behind him as he's walking in, and he holds the door open for Trump and his team as he's walking in, and then he walks in behind him, Trump stops and goes, hey kid, thanks, and he throws him an iPod.
00:17:17.000This is back in the day when iPods were like several hundred dollars, and it meant something, but the kid caught it, and he was like, whoa!
00:17:23.000Like, I held the door open for this guy.
00:17:25.000I hear stories like that all the time, where Trump stops to make sure he leaves with a positive impact, When I went to Trump Tower during his campaign cycle in 2015, I was with some colleagues and I was like, hey, we're covering Trump's rallies, we're covering Trump, let's go see what his employees have to say about him.
00:17:41.000So we decided to get food at the Trump Steakhouse.
00:17:45.000Asked everybody what they thought of Trump.
00:17:48.000I went to his ice cream shop downstairs and I asked him, and the people working there said, Trump will show up randomly and call all the staff out and just hand everyone $100 bills.
00:17:58.000And everyone's like, we're so excited when Trump comes.
00:18:00.000He's such a nice guy, shakes everybody's hands, thanks them for their work, and then gives them $100 cash.
00:18:21.000One of my favorite clips of Trump ever is when he and Melania, my favorite first lady, we're handing out Halloween candy and someone comes up in like a Minions costume and he like puts this full-size chocobar in this kid's head and he's obviously laughing.
00:18:35.000Like, there was something... Dude, I gotta pull that clip up.
00:19:37.000Or there's another one where he's on the phone, we don't have to play this code, but they're taking calls from kids around Christmas and there's one where he's like, you know, wishing, he's like, how old are you, seven?
00:19:50.000Like, he just has the personality that shines through.
00:19:52.000And I think so many Americans like that because it's not stiff and formal.
00:19:57.000I worry, I think, you know, I think Ron DeSantis could have a political future.
00:20:01.000I'm not one to speculate what it could be, but, you know, It's sort of embracing that personal connection that people are really craving in this day and age and it has so much to do with our our personal interactions with our neighbors falling apart to see a president that you can all kind of share these memories with and laugh like that's something people desperately want and the politicians that can do that like Trump like Vivek thrive.
00:20:23.000The Heartland proved last night they love a funny, brash fighter, New Yorker, right?
00:20:27.000And that's proved it again last night.
00:20:30.000And the culture, Hollywood, the media used to love Trump until three, four, nine years ago, until he decided to say, I'm a Republican, I'm running for office.
00:22:22.000And then we have this from the New York Times.
00:22:24.000In Iowa, Nikki Haley has the attention of Democrats and independents.
00:22:27.000Haley has attracted the interest of non-Republicans who say they'll caucus for her as rivals attack her for an insufficiently conservative message.
00:22:34.000This is the play, ladies and gentlemen.
00:24:18.000She's behind Ron DeSantis, but she is polling near as high as Trump in New Hampshire, and it is speculated these are Democrat voters that have switched their parties.
00:24:44.000And then there are states with open primaries.
00:24:46.000What I think we're seeing, as they're actually rather fascinating, is the end of the Democratic Party.
00:24:52.000When they realize you can't beat Donald Trump in a general election, their only plan, their only path is to beat him in a primary.
00:25:00.000It's actually kind of scary if you think about what comes after this.
00:25:03.000If the general election doesn't matter because it's Joe Biden with no support, The Republican Party becomes the single party rule in this country.
00:25:12.000And while many people may say, oh, but that's great.
00:25:18.000It's Democrats weaseling their way into the Republican Party as their only means of stealing power.
00:25:23.000And then instead of having general elections, we have whoever our president's going to be is going to be solely based on who wins the Republican primary.
00:25:31.000Yeah, I mean, I think it's getting pretty desperate on, honestly, on both sides of the aisle, right?
00:25:37.000There are a ton of people who do not want Trump to be the nominee.
00:25:40.000They don't outnumber the people who want him to be the nominee, but the tactics are there.
00:25:45.000When Asa Hutchins dropped out, one of the pieces that I read when I was researching for my article was the recommendation from a Republican strategist that he endorse Nikki Haley, who he shares more votes with.
00:25:56.000You know, he's this long-term governor from Arkansas.
00:25:59.000I think there are going to be sort of Moments until the end, until her campaign is over, where people are trying to say, well, if just the right people, and she got some states, we can still make this happen.
00:26:16.000I think you have something interesting, Tim, because I saw a colleague, a friend from the Hamptons, an older gentleman, Andy Saban, he was on Neil Cavuto last week.
00:27:07.000I think if you were really a candidate, you wouldn't have to, like, you being a woman would be, like, a fun benefit, right?
00:27:11.000But it wouldn't be the major tenant of your campaign.
00:27:14.000This ad impacted this study, and they were talking about the top themes that each of the candidates during their ad spends have, because Republicans have spent, like, $230 million so far.
00:27:32.000And both DeSantis and Nikki Haley are talking about China, which, you know, fair.
00:27:38.000And they're talking about character, which is just code for they're trying to say we're better than Trump.
00:27:44.000And I can't even remember the last thing they talked about because it's just so irrelevant.
00:27:48.000They are trying to separate themselves from Trump and Trump is the one setting the pace for politics.
00:27:52.000Well, the thing is, Trump is able to run on a lot of the same policies and ideas that he did in 2016 because he had four years, he did a lot of really good things, Biden took over, literally reversed everything on purpose, and now it's like, oh, we're back here now, we have to redo it.
00:28:08.000Even look at the situation with the Houthis in Yemen, right?
00:28:15.000You had Trump, when he was leaving office, classified the Houthis as terrorists.
00:28:20.000The day he came into office, Biden reversed that and he said, no, they're not terrorists.
00:28:26.000And the reason that he reversed it was for apparently humanitarian reasons, which is the same reason we're throwing money at Gaza, right?
00:28:33.000So that Hamas can massacre people again.
00:28:37.000But now he's talking, now Biden's talking about, oh, I better make the Houthis classify them as terrorists.
00:28:42.000And it's like, they've been terrorists this whole time.
00:28:44.000You know, so he literally came into office, reversed all the good things Trump did, made a whole bunch out of spite, did a whole bunch of really bad things.
00:28:53.000And in terms of the border wall, reversed the concept of the border wall and then left all the equipment and supplies just sitting there rotting, waiting for nothing.
00:29:01.000you know, with people climbing over it and then had to like re restart up the border wall anyway,
00:29:06.000even though now that's, you know, irrelevant now because it's humanitarian. It's just too
00:29:10.000they're gonna try and spin it so that whatever they did was the correct thing to do. But so
00:29:14.000Trump is able to run on the same stuff that brought him into office in the first place,
00:29:18.000the same reasons. Now on to the good things Joe Biden has done. Oh, it's very quiet now.
00:29:49.000Look, with all the rambunctious left progressives with anti-Israel, he stood up a little bit, but I read recently he hasn't talked to Bibi, the prime minister, in like three or four weeks.
00:31:04.000I can't think I've been tracking his His time in office, since he took over, and I can't think of a single good thing that he did where I was like, oh, that's good.
00:31:57.000And then all he did was talk about January 6.
00:31:58.000But that's actually been the theme his administration the whole time.
00:32:01.000Everyone is saying, oh Trump is saying revenge and he's going to do whatever, but actually it's Democrats who have been acting out of spite, right?
00:32:08.000The fact that he reversed, his first day in office, reversed a ton of Trump policies just because Trump did them to prove to his base that Trump is bad and then let us all suffer the consequences of his, you know, spite is not good.
00:32:22.000Out of the two of them, who talks more about the future and who harps on the past non-stop?
00:32:29.000Let's jump to the story from the independent, DeSantis Fury, after Trump is projected Iowa caucus winner before some even started voting.
00:32:37.000Language from the DeSantis campaign echoes Trump's own election denialism.
00:32:42.000It's kind of sad because DeSantis had said previously that if Donald Trump loses in Iowa, he will claim it was fraudulent or it was untoward or something like that.
00:32:52.000And now that Donald Trump has won, it is actually DeSantis' campaign saying that something was afoul here.
00:32:57.000But here's the real conspiracy, my friends.
00:33:00.000As many of you may know, if you were watching the Iowa caucuses last night, within about a half an hour of the caucuses beginning, they called the race for Donald Trump.
00:33:07.000The Associated Press said, we have seen enough.
00:34:27.000You're sitting there in minus 15 degrees in your caucus location and your phone burp and you look down it says Trump is the projected winner already and you go okay.
00:34:42.000The reality is it was Trump's to lose.
00:34:45.000And the only people who I would say Trump supporters are more likely to leave having already believed they were going to win in the first place.
00:34:54.000And this is brought up by Trump and many Republicans that because the polling favors Trump so much, Trump supporters are more likely to be like, well, I guess Trump already won.
00:35:23.000You got a great point, Tim, because right before we went on air, I read an article in Politico on their newsletter that says Trump won, but only 7% of the Republicans came out.
00:35:53.000We have to stay here and try and get our candidate to win.
00:35:56.000If, you know, come 2024, I mean the election in November, Trump supporters are not going to back down because they know you need a tsunami of votes to win.
00:36:07.000This is why I think the play is to get, this is why I think the primary is the general.
00:36:13.000She's running in the primary to beat Trump, and she's going to try and beat him in major urban strongholds.
00:36:19.000The play here is, well, it's basically that.
00:36:23.000They are going to try to convince Trump supporters that the GOP primary, it's done deal, done deal, Trump can't lose, don't even bother coming out.
00:36:31.000See, because everybody's saying, come November, everyone must vote, bring your friends, don't assume Trump will win because that's how they trick you.
00:36:40.000But in the primary, everyone's like, I got Trump won already.
00:36:42.000And RFK gave up on the primary, right?
00:40:16.000Just like, totally for no reason, and it's nonsensical, but all the things, like there's a lot of things we don't like about Joe Biden that are perfectly acceptable if he was a golden retriever.
00:40:25.000Like, first the obvious is sniffing kids.
00:40:27.000The dog runs up to the kid, sniffing, nobody cares, funny.
00:40:30.000Fumbling around and falling down or rolling on the ground, we laugh, aww, puppy fell down.
00:40:34.000And then the muttering incoherent nonsense, when the dog walks in and goes, we're laughing, we're like, I wonder what?
00:40:40.000But when Joe Biden does it, we're like, this guy's got the nuclear codes.
00:40:42.000But at least the dog always knows where the stairs are, right?
00:41:55.000Why would you vote for someone who just keeps telling you that they hate you?
00:41:58.000Adrienne Curry in the chat says, Golden would have great polling numbers no matter what it did.
00:42:03.000And that gives me an idea, like, I'm gonna take a picture of a Golden Retriever and just post it on X with a poll, like, favorability rating, favorable, unfavorable, and I bet it's gonna be like 95% favorability.
00:42:13.000Dog people are gonna go berserk in your chat, I feel like.
00:42:16.000They're gonna have all kinds of comments about it.
00:42:18.000People feel really strongly about their dogs.
00:42:20.000What's your favorability of random dog I found on internet?
00:42:39.000I used to hang out with my friend in Connecticut at his family's lake house, and we'd all go hang out.
00:42:44.000But He had this corgi and all of us, you know, goofy kids would be hanging out in the yard and the corgi would notice that we weren't all in the same place and would just start rounding us all up.
00:42:55.000And we'd be like, oh my goodness, Ginger just rounded us all up.
00:42:59.000My cousin had an Australian cattle dog that they were like, oh, we'll rescue it.
00:43:03.000But it was from like a working dog line.
00:43:05.000And, you know, there were a lot of us growing up and they would herd us onto couches.
00:43:08.000Would my little guy make a great president?
00:43:13.000I don't know if the cameras can see it, but it's a tiny, tiny chihuahua who's very, very, very sweet.
00:43:17.000I mean, what's the stamina on this dog, right?
00:43:21.000But even last night, Joe Biden's staffers, I guess, tweeted out at 1130 p.m.
00:43:28.000because, of course, Joe Biden was probably asleep, but tweeted out, It looks like Donald Trump just won Iowa.
00:43:34.000He's the clear frontrunner on the other side at this point.
00:43:51.000And you had Rachel Maddow last night bragging about how MSNBC was not going to show Trump's victory speech because truth is really important and then she starts talking about rising authoritarianism and there she is literally praising the network she works for for censoring the guy who's giving a speech thanking his opponents and talking about unity.
00:48:30.000Yeah, you want him to be front-facing for sure.
00:48:34.000You know I take him seriously when he came on this show and said that he didn't want to be VP and I think Tim's right that having more experience in the government would be good and in some ways VPs aren't super known for what they contribute to an administration.
00:48:48.000There's a rumor that it'll be Doug Burgum because based on what Trump said last night.
00:48:55.000He endorsed him and last night when Trump was giving his remarks he said something like Oh, he's gonna, he's gonna be around, like he had this like smirk and stuff like that.
00:49:23.000I like anybody who can go out there and rev up a crowd almost as good as Trump does.
00:49:29.000Because also, he's gonna need somebody on the campaign trail while he's being dragged around by, you know, stupid Merrick Garland and his minions.
00:49:38.000Yeah, I would love to see Trump just put a candy bar on Merrick Garland's head.
00:49:55.000But the way he was talking about him, there is a belief that Burgum is involved somehow.
00:49:59.000So you could start piecing together who his candidates would be.
00:50:02.000My question with Vivek and, you know, it could be great for him to gain experience on the federal level and then potentially run again in 2028.
00:50:09.000I wish that he would take some of the really innovative things that he talked about, like civic engagement and different things during his campaign, and apply it on a small scale in Ohio.
00:50:20.000It's just that the timing doesn't line up where he could take a position in Ohio and then run again in 2028, from what I know.
00:51:28.000And she's been a Trump ally for a really long time.
00:51:30.000With Stefanik, I wouldn't want to lose her from Congress.
00:51:33.000I think she's doing really good things and it's nice to see that representation in New York.
00:51:36.000I mean, part of the problem is that if you lift anyone out of the position they're currently in, that becomes a vacuum and you don't know what's going to fill it.
00:52:25.000Tulsi Gabbard could make sense, but it definitely seems like a 0.1% likelihood, you know.
00:52:30.000I like Tulsi Gabbard as VP because, you know, military experience, fairly moderate, could attract former Democrats and disaffected liberals.
00:53:03.000Well, and the Biden administration, initially, they had her out there, they moved her to the background, and now that we're getting closer to 2024, they're kind of being like, it's the Biden-Harris administration.
00:53:13.000They really are trying to sell that, and it's just not working.
00:53:15.000Yeah, but for the middle two years, they were like, stand in the back and don't say anything, because she was just not good, right?
00:53:21.000Well, they were trying to get her to do stuff, and she wouldn't do it.
00:53:25.000And then her office was like, no, no, she's not the border czar, she's working on the root causes of migration in the Northern Triangle countries, and she's not even doing that.
00:53:34.000And then she was like, actually, it's LGBTQIA plus violence, That is the problem.
00:53:41.000So we need to prioritize them for asylum, which then they had an EO about that.
00:53:48.000Have you guys seen that meme where it's LGBTQ plus and it's let's get Biden to quit plus Kamala.
00:53:58.000I mean, I wish we could pick VP based on like what issue they are going to rabidly champion during the administration, because then I would love to see Where's RFK Jr.?
00:54:06.000really serious immigration restrictionists go into office.
00:54:10.000But I just don't think that's going to happen so much of the VP selection is saying who can we
00:54:15.000court in terms of electoral college votes. Where's RFK Jr.? Is he still around? He was in North
00:54:22.000Allad was there covering him and he has an event in West Virginia coming up. I think he's doing
00:54:28.000pretty well for an independent, but you know, he's not, it's sort of hard because he's not
00:54:33.000not in the news cycle because there's no primary for the independent.
00:54:36.000He's like, you're just going to make it or he's not.
00:54:37.000Yeah, but he's also, I don't think he's taking the, like Vivek went from zero, like in a year, look at this, he went to fourth place in the primary.
00:55:44.000And I think that's a good sign for, you know, conservative values or maybe libertarian values generally, because they were really drawn to to Ramswamy's campaign.
00:55:53.000And ultimately, that's the future, right?
00:55:56.000So it's easy to focus on what happens this November.
00:55:59.000But what we want long term is for new voters to be interested in voting for candidates who represent long term investment in a future that's going to be steady and provide a prosperous life for a lot of people.
00:56:09.000Well, part of the problem with that is that we have no shared vision of either America's future or of America's past.
00:56:17.000We have no real social cohesion or vision for what the American character is or understanding of where we came from.
00:56:47.000He had this series on Human Events Daily during the period between Christmas and New Year's, and it was like four, I think it was four episodes about cultural revolutions that were like leftist revolutions, and it was I forget what they all were, but there were a bunch of them and they were really fascinating.
00:57:04.000But the one that I found most fascinating was the one about the 1960s in America, the Cultural Revolution in America, which I had never conceived of as a revolution.
00:57:12.000I'd never conceived of it as a leftist revolution.
00:57:17.000You know, to a certain extent, I just thought of it as, you know, my stupid parents were – they're not stupid.
00:57:31.000I thought, you know, it seemed like a very cultural moment, and it was something where, you know, fashion would take from it.
00:57:39.000As I was growing up, it was always like, now we're in the 60s moment again, now we're in it again, now we're in it again.
00:57:44.000But I never thought of it as a revolution.
00:57:46.000And I've been thinking about that a lot.
00:57:50.000And then, you know, the civil rights movement and that whole era, which I always had a very I thought I had a very clear view of it, and I've been reconsidering it.
00:57:58.000But I think that A lot of it started then, when you had this huge generation of young people saying to their parents, everything you taught us was wrong.
00:58:10.000Everything you thought about the country is wrong.
00:58:13.000Everything you think about us and our future is wrong.
00:58:15.000We're going to destroy everything you built.
00:58:18.000We're going to dance around in that rubble and we're going to build on top of rubble.
00:58:25.000So then when you hit the 90s, which in my view, like I was in my 20s, I guess, in the 90s, you hit the 90s when you had a very, what seemed to me, a colorblind society.
00:59:00.000But, you know, it seemed like this pinnacle of civilization, but it was really apparently just built on top of rubble.
00:59:08.000You know, the rubble of our grandparents, of our religion, of our culture, of our shared past, of our appreciation for our history.
00:59:18.000I grew up in a small town on Long Island, Porchef Station, and my neighbors were African-American black, but never had discussions about race, never had discussions about any of this.
00:59:28.000And we were just my neighbor, and we liked each other and got along well.
00:59:32.000And all along my life, I had black friends, never thought of it.
00:59:34.000I think somewhere along the line, when Obama got elected, at the very beginning of his term, there was this, you know, incident at Harvard University with this black professor.
00:59:44.000right off the bat. And the police called because he was being obnoxious, he was screaming.
01:00:00.000And the media jumped on this and said they need a lesson, that police need to go to, you know, sensitivity training.
01:00:07.000And I think somewhere that incident, I feel like, stood out really in this lesson where Obama wanted to turn back the clock on race relations.
01:00:16.000And I don't like that's kind of like that was the start of it.
01:00:22.000Because the guy was being obnoxious and he had to use the white police officers.
01:00:26.000I think Obama had a negative impact on race relations, but all of this started with social media.
01:00:33.000The evidence is every single country experienced the exact same thing at the exact same time, and the only connected factor would be the advent of social media emerging in all these countries.
01:00:43.000What happens is, for Facebook at the time, and Twitter wasn't really that prominent, but you know, Barack Obama used Facebook to get elected.
01:00:53.000What happens is, As the platform gets bigger, they need to find a way to keep people interested in the platform when their feed was inundated with too much content.
01:01:03.000When these platforms first started, you'd see an update every few seconds and you didn't care.
01:01:22.000The stuff that gets the most clicks was related to racism.
01:01:26.000It actually was related to a couple issues.
01:01:29.000White nationalism, not entirely, but strong nationalist Christian and white nationalist content was prominent, as well as social justice content.
01:01:41.000However, these big tech companies, you know, when you get these free speech individuals in the early days, they call themselves like the free speech wing of the free speech party on Twitter, they look at it very economically.
01:01:54.000They sit down at a board meeting and someone says, okay, a large group of people are posting about white nationalism and a large group of people are posting about black nationalism.
01:02:03.000And they go, okay well look, advertisers will not buy on your platform if there's white nationalists here.
01:02:13.000What ends up happening is people have an option to click on the most, I guess, rage-baity content they can, and for these biased reasons, the algorithm will always favor anger and justice over every other emotion.
01:02:29.000And justice can take the shape of many things, but when you combine it, you end up with police brutality, things like you mentioned, like this professor.
01:02:36.000But if the tech companies are like, If a white guy is murdered in the streets, and people start defending him and saying, you know, white people under attack, oh, we got white supremacists, delete that stuff, advertisers will flee.
01:02:47.000But if it's, you know, black people, Mexicans, Asians, or whatever, that's acceptable.
01:02:52.000A bunch of companies started mass producing this, social media companies started mass producing this, and then we see in every single country a massive spike.
01:02:58.000in support for these issues. When it started, it was police brutality, which turned into feminist
01:03:04.000issues, intersectional feminist issues, and now we're into full-scale diversity, inclusivity,
01:03:09.000equity, etc. Yeah, that's interesting.
01:04:01.000Well, on Facebook, actually, the top engaged with kind of post is, I'm married and had kids.
01:04:07.000So, they may have fixed this, but the meme was, if you ever had an important announcement for your friends, and it's like you got a new job or you're moving, start the post off with, I have just gotten married and I'm having kids.
01:04:18.000Okay, now that I've said that, none of that's true.
01:04:20.000Hope to see you guys at the party this weekend, because it'll put that at the top of their feeds.
01:04:24.000But, I don't think, for a lot of these people, it was intentional.
01:04:27.000I think, as I describe it, people like Jack Dorsey, he basically built a big toilet for everyone to sit on, and then he hooked up the pipes from that toilet into his own mouth.
01:04:44.000YouTube wanted to compete with Netflix.
01:04:47.000YouTube used to get, if, you know, we go back in the days of like Auto-Tune the News, Shmoyoho, Songify, they're getting millions of hits per video.
01:04:56.000All of a sudden, the views start dropping.
01:04:58.000I actually talked with Google about it, and they said, Netflix is our biggest competitor.
01:05:44.000The problem with that is, you've got a massive spattering of argumentative and serious political issues, which generate a wave of nationalist, white nationalist, racist, all sorts of content.
01:06:01.000YouTube then panics, going, oh no, that's not what we meant.
01:06:05.000So these companies don't actually care about what the content is so long as it's making money for them and if advertisers will buy on the platform.
01:06:13.000So they're not thinking like, I want people angry.
01:06:17.000They're saying, tell the algorithm to favor high retention rates and long videos.
01:06:42.000And it goes index finger, middle finger.
01:06:45.000When the song ends, YouTube's autoplay feature will load the next video automatically.
01:06:49.000So the parent puts the iPad in front of the baby, the song ends, another video plays.
01:06:55.000Eventually, it starts, the algorithm doesn't actually know what finger family is.
01:07:01.000There were people in India, knowing this was the trend, started exploiting the algorithm by producing extremely low quality and freaky videos.
01:07:09.000Like the example I often give is the Incredible Hulk doing Tai Chi with Adolf Hitler.
01:07:21.000What would happen is, once the parents would play the video and the video would end, it would just autoplay the next video for Finger Family, and it just so happened to be The Incredible Hulk and Adolf Hitler, but Hitler had boobs, and it was weird, freaky stuff.
01:07:34.000They didn't intentionally make that happen.
01:07:36.000It happened because all they did was tell the algorithm to let it go.
01:07:41.000What I've argued, and I believe this is the most likely scenario, As a baby, you don't know what you're watching.
01:07:49.000So if you're watching Finger Family, and the next thing that pops up is Hitler, you're just a baby staring at a screen going, eh.
01:07:55.000But an adult can see that and go, whoa!
01:08:02.000When you're watching a video about a criminal case involving a corrupt cop, and you go, man, the next video that plays is, say, George Floyd or Ahmaud Arbery, you go, wow.
01:08:12.000You don't realize you're actually... I'm gonna say this.
01:08:16.000I will equate the Ahmaud Arbery case to Adolf Hitler with a woman's body doing Tai Chi with the Incredible Hulk.
01:08:24.000As an adult, it falls into your preconceived notions, and it seems to make sense.
01:08:28.000But the story is totally fabricated and false.
01:08:30.000Everything people know from the mainstream press, the Ahmaud Arbery case, who did we have on the show recently?
01:08:35.000They were like, oh, that was the guy who was jogging, right?
01:08:38.000That was never even a legal talking point.
01:08:41.000In the courts, they never argued that Ahmaud Arbery was just jogging.
01:08:44.000They actually conceded he was a burglary suspect who had been witnessed and was wanted by the police for questioning.
01:08:50.000But in the mainstream media, They were saying he was just jogging.
01:08:54.000These are people who live in the world where they can't recognize the algorithm is feeding them refuse down their throats.
01:09:02.000And that's why I say, the people running these companies didn't one day decide, let's produce a bunch of rageful content to make them go insane!
01:09:09.000No, Jack Dorsey was like, we're the free speech wing of the free speech party.
01:09:12.000Then when the algorithms they created were propping up the most psychotic, nonsensical garbage, he took that hose and shoved it straight down his throat, started absorbing it, believing it, and shedded his own brain.
01:09:25.000The people then running these companies adopted these views and integrated them back into their systems, exacerbating the problem.
01:10:37.000The problem now is the only way to control the narrative is through extreme censorship.
01:10:43.000And the problem there is a decentralized press mechanism, like what we have now with shows like this, can see through it, call it out, causes problems, and they lose.
01:10:51.000Hence, Donald Trump is the frontrunner.
01:12:05.000We were at The office building that we were in for the Iowa caucus was the same building as Vivek's campaign office for Des Moines.
01:12:14.000His headquarters was at a different location for caucus night.
01:12:18.000I think the office we were in was his principal office.
01:12:21.000We were not in his office, there's a distinction, but we were in the same building and we had to negotiate with the building's owner, so it's not like Vivek got us anything, but we were in the same space with him.
01:12:41.000You know, they're mission-driven, and I'm like, these are things you can't give people, okay?
01:12:45.000I've been in so many corporate meetings, so many corporate offices, where it's like, here's how to be successful.
01:12:51.000And they try to teach someone who doesn't have the X factor how to have the X factor, and they don't.
01:12:56.000So when I used to do fundraising for nonprofits, what they decided was just give everyone the lowest common denominator training as to how you pitch someone to donate to your cause.
01:13:08.000And so they tell everybody, keep your feet spread open with each foot lining up with your shoulders.
01:13:39.000What you'd find is they would tell you, probably for legal reasons, you have to say this verbatim.
01:13:45.000Everybody who went out to fundraise for every non-profit I ever worked with would say whatever they felt like saying and they would always sign people up and the people who would always try to do the pitch would get super angry and be like, why can't I do this?
01:14:11.000As soon as she gets trained by me, one of the top fundraisers in the nation, she goes to another company and says, I want to be a director, a position above me.
01:14:18.000I was trained by one of the nation's best from this company.
01:15:16.000This guy freaks out, gets really angry, and he was like, I don't understand.
01:15:20.000I'm doing everything I'm told to do, and no one will talk to me, and then I'm watching these guys do nothing, and then just snap their fingers, and someone comes and signs up, and I was like, What we have is the ability to recognize someone who's interested, open, willing to talk.
01:15:35.000You're going about it through the motions.
01:16:21.000And they started attacking all of us, insulting all of us, and now Ron DeSantis loses.
01:16:24.000And then they got their minions to attack everybody.
01:16:26.000Tim, you have a good gift, naturally, as a salesman.
01:16:30.000But I tell people, if you're selling something, let's say you're selling real estate, you walk in a room, you don't want someone just to bombard you with your card, just because you don't want someone who's needy and pushy.
01:17:59.000And I'm kind of trying to beat a dick, but not really.
01:18:01.000I've often said if Donald Trump was confronted with a subject matter he didn't know about, So, imagine Trump's being interviewed and someone says, yes, but as president, how will you handle Lucindando?
01:18:18.000Trump would go, look, you know, people have been talking about Lucindando, but the economy is what matters to the American people, so we're going to do that.
01:18:29.000But Trump would deflect by saying, I'm not going to sit here and talk about an issue like that when the American people are concerned about their jobs.
01:23:14.000What had happened was the two people who were supposed to sit there were waiting in the lounge before the flight and it was a guy and a woman and the guy fell asleep and then he woke up in a cold sweat screaming the plane was gonna crash and so he started yelling and they pulled him off the plane.
01:23:57.000Freaks out, they throw him off the plane, the plane crashes and then they go, you cheated
01:24:01.000death and now death is coming for you.
01:24:03.000And then, like, instead of just having them, I don't know, like, slip and hit their head in their bathroom, death decides to have some circuitous Rube Goldberg device, you know, spin around twelve times.
01:25:05.000I don't know if it's the start of Pete Buttigieg's recruitment, of his diversity and equity inclusion recruitment, but it's been really, really bad.
01:25:25.000Right, I go to Starbucks and then there's like a tip thing that pops up and it's like, you know, $1, $3, $5 tip and I'm like, bro, I ordered a $2 coffee.
01:25:32.000I ordered something online from a store, like a small business, and they asked me to tip and I thought, no, I don't think you get stars.
01:25:41.000I was at Starbucks when we were in Des Moines and the tip jar said, on a scale of $1 to $10, how attractive are you?
01:26:22.000Nobody wants to do the jobs they're doing.
01:26:24.000I don't know what it is they want, but I will say that the millennial generation and large portions of the younger generations want to do literally nothing.
01:26:33.000Somebody's got to do the work and make the food.
01:26:35.000And what's happening is, you know, maybe it's strong men make hard times.
01:26:41.000With the previous generation, we're like, here's my job, this is the job that I do, it's the job I have.
01:26:44.000Now it's like, ugh, I have to go to work today.
01:26:47.000And it used to be a common thing when the cashier or the waiter was nice.
01:28:04.000It's the same thing when they talk about climate change and they're like, well, I don't want to have kids because I don't want to burden the climate with my children and my children with the climate or whatever.
01:28:11.000Yeah, having more kids makes bad weather.
01:28:21.000Like, they are sort of numb to everything around them and so there's actually no momentum behind their choices.
01:28:25.000Like, when you talk about, I'm going to work this job really hard because maybe this isn't where I'm going to be forever, but it's the job I have right now and it could get me somewhere else.
01:28:31.000Like, you are a forward-thinking person.
01:28:47.000The main character in Shaun of the Dead was lazy, half-assed, had terrible ideas, got his friends killed, and he's still the main character.
01:28:55.000Or, like, on Reels or TikToks, they have these things that girls talk about, like, rom-com jobs, where they, like, are... What's a rom-com job?
01:29:02.000It's, like, jobs that I will leave for... No, I'm just kidding.
01:29:06.000But they, like, work at bookstores, and they, like, know about books, and it's pretty, and they have, like, tiny studio apartments, and there's some... They kind of romanticize it.
01:29:31.000Because these people who are like, I want a job, like the idea that I get to have a big house, I get to have whatever I want, all the latest devices and all the latest fashion, and I'm gonna, like friends for instance, I work at a coffee shop and I live in this massive New York apartment.
01:29:46.000They explained it eventually, but yeah.
01:29:49.000The explanation was it was Monica's grandma's apartment, and it was rent-controlled, and Monica took it over, and the landlord doesn't know that Monica's grandma's dead.
01:29:58.000Because you can't grandfather those things in.
01:30:24.000But someone else should do it for me, and we should tax you and take your money so that I can live in this beautiful place.
01:30:30.000The government should pay for my bills, and should cover the cost of my utilities, and someone else should cover the cost of transportation for me, and then I should be able to, you know, make a Chaz farm.
01:31:17.000I think it might have been like 20 or something.
01:31:19.000And they said, you know, anybody who wants to come and live here can utilize the land and live off the land.
01:31:24.000And a bunch of these hippie-to-be-moron college kids were like, I'm going to live carbon neutral and just live off the land because everybody knows that peasants had more vacation time than the modern worker.
01:32:30.000We are standing on the shoulders of giants in terms of the technology.
01:32:34.000I was crossing the Williamsburg Bridge one day and I just thought to myself, how amazing That so many people came together to build this thing so that I can leisurely walk across this river where normally it was rather difficult.
01:32:54.000But now we have so many people who don't know what it took to build that.
01:32:58.000And I'm going to add one more to that.
01:32:59.000We're not just standing on the shoulders of giants who have lived in the days of yore.
01:33:04.000We are standing on the shoulders of slaves in foreign countries and third world countries who are mining cobalt and other rare earth metals, and their teeth are rotting out of their faces, and we don't see it at all.
01:33:14.000So when these activists are like, we should get rid of fossil fuels and all that stuff, I'll be like, well, you're the first to die.
01:33:20.000Like, you know, when Greta Thunberg is like, we're not going to wait till 2030, we must stop now!
01:33:25.000I'm like, that chick would be dead in three days.
01:33:27.000But the other thing, too, is you have Joe Biden pushing for all of the solar and pushing for EVs and lithium battery-fueled things.
01:33:41.000But also, we're saying, like, You know, instead of using fuel from America, fossil fuels, we're just going to have kids do the mining and we're going to use their labor.
01:34:55.000on the front page, we will have the first official uncensored Brimcast IRL.
01:35:00.000Normally we do the members only uncensored show at 10 p.m., but because I'm operating on about three to four hours of sleep, it's actually pain.
01:35:09.000I'm feeling all over my body from lack of sleep.
01:35:12.000Once we wrap the Super Chats, I'm going to bed, but Hannah-Claire will run the Members Only, taking calls from you in the Members Only Discord where you can talk to us and our guests.
01:35:29.000Driving from the airport, we landed in Hagerstown, and there's four inches of Just perfect fluffy snow and no plows.
01:35:37.000We're in the middle of nowhere and the vehicles we have, we got a couple SUVs and a Honda Civic.
01:35:42.000We had to drive 20-30 miles an hour the whole way back slowly sliding because there's no plows and salt in the backcountry roads or anything like this.
01:35:52.000Like, I grew up in New England, so I grew up with snow, things like that.
01:35:55.000But then, when you're driving, and the condition is just such that you cannot speed up, and there's no plow, and you just have to go slow, I start to just, like, get the jitters.
01:36:04.000Like, I'm like, maybe it's worth speeding and flying off the road.
01:36:07.000But then once we finally got back to the house, going up the driveway 10 feet, and then slid back down.
01:36:45.000I wonder what the legality is of doing a contest where it's like, we will track every day the first super chat, and then whoever has the most at the end of the month... Gets a gift!
01:37:28.000Yeah I think we can't do that for sure.
01:37:29.000Like with Publisher's Clearing House you had to like have a free way to...
01:37:33.000Yeah, so here's the other thing too, because we were planning on doing like this Timcast grant thing, where every month we'd give 10 grand, we just can't do it.
01:37:40.000And so I have given people money through other ways, but basically the legality of it is, we want it to be like, if you're a member and you're working on a cool project and you share with us, we will help you fund that project.
01:38:03.000And I'm like, yeah, there's a judging criteria.
01:38:05.000And they're like, the way you do it is, you don't have to be a member, and an external panel decides who gets the money.
01:38:10.000And then I'm like, yeah, but we're trying to do this for the community to invest in the stuff.
01:38:14.000So basically, someone who's never supported the show, doesn't really watch, pitches something.
01:38:19.000We can't ask them if they're a fan of the show and they support any of the work we do.
01:38:23.000They get the money, and then someone who's worked really, really hard and has been dedicated, I'm like, so we really can't do it, unfortunately.
01:41:25.000There was a really funny post in like 2017 where someone wrote about coming out as a Trump supporter and a bunch of people were commenting that they were like identical to coming out as gay.
01:41:37.000It was like, I'm scared to tell my family and friends that I support Donald Trump because they'll shun me and ostracize me.
01:41:42.000They won't accept me or they may kick me out of the family.
01:41:46.000I think that is the experience, though.
01:41:47.000And in some ways, because everything has become so political, I almost wonder if we'll get a moment where everyone's, like, burned out of politics and it becomes uninteresting.
01:41:56.000I just think we have another four or five years to go, unfortunately.
01:41:59.000Yeah, I feel a lot of people that have been saying they were just burned out in general.
01:44:11.000They just thought that it was really lame and that the main character had absolutely no story arc.
01:44:17.000Yeah, and then the story arc doesn't even... Like, what arc there was is her just jumping out of the Disney Plus... I'm not kidding.
01:44:24.000She jumps out of the Disney Plus thumbnail for the show and then walks around the Disney Plus streaming app and, like, then meets Kevin Feige or something.
01:44:33.000Man, they really had no idea what they were doing.
01:44:38.000All right, The Homeless Veteran says, how do I get on here to tell my story about an insane paranormal mission I had overseas that is still not acknowledged?
01:45:25.000And, uh, Instagram, where we're going to be building, uh, we've already built this large private facility.
01:45:30.000The skate park should be done in about April.
01:45:31.000A bunch of pro skateboarders have already come through and done interviews with pro skateboarder Richie Jackson, who is our principal host of the Boonies Show.
01:45:39.000And we've got big interest from some of the top pros in the world.
01:45:42.000I gotta tell you guys, have hope, and do not be blackpilled.
01:45:45.000When I watch these huge pros for like Nitro Circus, and I'm talking like big professional athletes, and they're wearing Public Square t-shirts, Black Rifle Coffee, we are winning.
01:45:59.000It used to be that these pro skaters I'd complain about, they'd hit me up being like, look, man, I'm a big fan, but I'm scared I'll get fired from my job.
01:46:04.000Now they're like, well, if I do get dropped, I mean, Black Rifle called me up, they're offering sponsorships.
01:46:09.000So, you know, as much as people have had beef with Black Rifle in the past, yo, they're sponsoring athletes and giving them a chance to say F you to the woke garbage?
01:46:17.000Yeah, I know people have a lot of opinions about Black Rifle Coffee, but every time I'm in a Walmart and I see how much Black Rifle Coffee is there, it kind of blows my mind.
01:46:24.000Because I remember when they were just sponsoring people on YouTube, I didn't even know if they had a retail store, and now it's like, oh, you're pushing your way into the mainstream.
01:46:31.000When I heard that, I don't know if I'm breaking it, I don't think I'm breaking it, but Travis Pastrana is sponsored by Black Rifle.
01:47:02.000Far from perfect, a lot of people have their criticisms, but there's other pro skateboarders wearing public square shirts, and pro athletes, and I'm like, we are winning.
01:47:12.000Some of the biggest pro skateboarders in the world, in their skateparks, have Rumble on their walls.
01:47:17.000And Rumble, I believe, is the exclusive location for Street League skateboarding.
01:47:24.000Now I'm getting hit up by some of the biggest names in professional sports, in action sports, saying like, we're huge fans, we're gonna come out, we're gonna skate, scoot, blade, bike, all that stuff.
01:47:45.000I just wanted to say, with regard to Disney, did you guys see the new thing that they came up with, which was the first deaf Native American amputee superhero?
01:47:59.000Yeah, but I don't really have an issue with it so much as they're making it about that because imagine if Daredevil was like the first blind superhero and the whole show was just about how he's being oppressed for being differently abled.
01:48:12.000So when they're like, we're making a show about a minority deaf woman, I'm like, no, no, no, hold on, hold on.
01:48:28.000It actually makes the character really interesting.
01:48:30.000Like in the scene in Spider-Man, when he's sitting at the table and the brick flies through the window and he catches it.
01:48:34.000And they're like, how did you do that?
01:48:35.000And he's like, I'm a really good lawyer.
01:48:37.000Like, it's great because a blind person should not be so good at this, but he's a superhero.
01:48:41.000So if they're going to make Echo, who's deaf, It needs to be like, look, Daredevil is blind and he has echolocation because his ears are so good, but it's also his weakness.
01:49:15.000Like, that's when I felt like that played into the storyline well.
01:49:19.000Big Champ says, Buenos noches, Tim and friends.
01:49:21.000I'd like to recommend Youngstown, Ohio for your live show.
01:49:23.000Being the halfway point between Pittsburgh and Cleveland, you'd be sure to draw a good crowd.
01:49:27.000Penguin City Brewery is a possible venue.
01:49:29.000I'm pretty sure Youngstown is where, during the Occupy protests, the police and firefighters joined in the protests over the corruption in government.
01:49:38.000And then the government went to the police and said, we'll give you anything you want.
01:50:15.000Maybe we can do an undercover show to prove this point and really destroy some of these woke far-left extremists.
01:50:20.000Undercover footage where you go to some far-left Antifa person and then just legitimately offer them cash to do a job that they would otherwise protest.
01:50:31.000And when they say yes, Then be like, oh, hey, look, here's this guy you think is a big eco-activist and environmentalist.
01:50:37.000We offered him, you know, a six-figure job working on a petroleum rig, and he said yes.
01:50:41.000Well, you know, it's because I thought I could do more good.
01:50:56.000We're trying to save the environment, but help us do the right thing and spread the good word about the good work we're doing and why petroleum is good, and we'll pay you 20 grand.
01:51:04.000There were a bunch of, um, or I saw this report that gas stations were trying to give sponsorships to lots of, like, young social media influencers to be like, come to my gas station, it is cool!
01:52:19.000I'm glad that we have been able to cultivate it somehow, or at least bring them together in a central place.
01:52:23.000So the event we did in Iowa, I think we're going to end up losing, you know, low five figures on doing that trip because it costs like it costs over $100,000 to do in order to get nine people.
01:52:36.000Because we have people who produce the show, manage the venues, work with guest relations and stuff, and security.
01:52:43.000The only way to do it is if we fly out on a private jet.
01:52:48.000And I'm not some hippy-dippy eco-activist, I don't care if you're flying on a private jet as long as you can afford it.
01:52:53.000But if you're a hypocrite, then I'll make fun of you.
01:52:55.000So, you know, it's like, so last week on Tuesday, As soon as the show wrapped at, you know, 11, we got out the door, got in the car, drove straight to the jet, landed in Iowa at like 2 in the morning, went to bed, and woke up to start producing, uh... Oh no, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, that's not what happened.
01:53:13.000The flight got cancelled because of the weather.
01:53:15.000Did the morning show and then left that morning.
01:53:39.000But I think it's incredibly beneficial to the company.
01:53:41.000And I think it's incredibly beneficial culturally to have these on location events where people can come
01:53:46.000and hang out and actually watch the show in person and ask questions.
01:53:48.000But one of the plans I think we're gonna do, we've been advised by some bigger companies is,
01:53:53.000and this is Luke's idea, is to do super private, like VIP dinners
01:54:00.000between five and $10,000 per ticket, not for individual regular people,
01:54:04.000but for businesses who wanted to have private meetings.
01:54:07.000And it's not because we wanna make money, it's because we wanna fund the show.
01:54:10.000So it's like, if we want to do more events, here's the restriction.
01:54:14.000We reach out to sponsors and say, hey guys, we want to do a stage show in this place, it's gonna cost, here's all the costs, we'll show all of them to you.
01:54:20.000Stage production, camera, equipment, rental, security, and people don't understand how expensive security is.
01:54:26.000Seriously, if you've got a presidential candidate coming down, they're gonna be like, how many exits and entrances in the building?
01:54:33.000Okay, those are 50 bucks an hour people.
01:54:35.000And so all that's super expensive per day.
01:54:38.000But this way, we can actually put it out there and be like, if we can't get a sponsor, we'll try that approach.
01:54:43.000Because we've actually had people say straight up, they would, like we've had people be like, hey, I will give you X amount of dollars to just be able to come and do like a private meeting with you guys.
01:54:51.000And we're like, why don't we do a dinner?
01:54:53.000And so I think that's one opportunity to help fund more of these things.
01:54:56.000Because we've got people who want us to do, you know, once a month or something.
01:55:15.000And, uh, you know, we'll see what happens, but, uh, I think the next event will have a series of, like, ultra-VIP private dinner tickets, which is basically what politicians do when they're like, hey, it's, you know, five grand for a ticket to come have dinner with me.
01:55:28.000But ours is gonna be like, you come have dinner, then we go to the show, and you help put that show on, and we'll give you a shout-out and a thank you for sponsoring the show.
01:58:22.000Oh, you know what would be really funny?
01:58:24.000If Republicans infiltrate the Democratic primary, and then nominate Trump, and then Nikki Haley wins the Republican, but Trump's the Democrat, and everyone's just like, I guess I'm voting Democrat?
01:59:07.000He needs to be And you know the news is not going to get any nicer to Trump and we need a fighter like Revek going against the news cycle, going against the mainstream media constantly because we're going to get a barrage of anti-Trump, anti-conservative.
01:59:21.000Sorry, I'm jumping out of my skin tonight.
01:59:25.000No, and what Tim said, what I remember about it was that one of the things Trump had to do during his first time in office was to learn where there were issues and learn where the landmines are.
01:59:35.000Having experience, being able to see what's going on on the inside would benefit Vivek or whoever is the nominee in 2028.
01:59:41.000Joden80 says, if Trump picks Tulsi for VP, doesn't that boost his chances of getting on Rogan?
02:02:01.000Don't gotta worry about pilots You don't gotta manage anything.
02:02:03.000You just call them up and say here's the flight I need and they say we'll see you there Is it ever funny to you that you have reached a place in your life where people are like, Tim, just buy a private plane.
02:03:28.000You do not like the bat if you if you're lucky enough to get one of these things with the bathroom because most of them don't have like a lot of jets and turbo props.
02:04:36.000You guys as members made it possible and picked up the rest, so shout out to all of the TimCast.com members for empowering us and the ability to make these shows happen.
02:04:45.000I'm going to go to bed, but I appreciate all of your support.
02:04:48.000Adam, do you want to shout anything out?
02:04:50.000Thanks for having me, Tim, and we'll have some great, I got some great spots to tell you for your tour, and hopefully we'll see you in New York.
02:05:31.000Without naming any of these venues, the general idea as conveyed to me is they're all basically like, if we book you, Antifa will burn down the venue.
02:05:48.000The vibe is, as I'm described, it seems like, I'm being very careful, their concern is that Antifool will burn down their venues if they host us.
02:05:56.000I still wish we could do a show somewhere in Pennsylvania because I think it's just such an interesting time to be in Pennsylvania.
