Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Trump NUKES Nearly EVERY USAID Job, Cuts ALL FUNDS To Liberal News Amid PURGE w-Mel K | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 Donald Trump is basically firing every single person at USAID.

00:00:24.000 He ordered leave for everybody.

00:00:27.000 And then Marco Rubio basically received this list of employees that were supposed to be like essential.

00:00:33.000 And he's like, nah, cut that down.

00:00:35.000 So basically like 294 employees are left, which everybody knows means USAID is done.

00:00:42.000 Trump then ordered.

00:00:44.000 The GSA to suspend and terminate all contracts with media organizations.

00:00:50.000 This is nuts.

00:00:51.000 Now, what we're hearing from the corporate press is that it's a conspiracy theory that the government's been giving all of this money to these news outlets.

00:00:59.000 Yeah, they've been signing up for these exorbitant, insane subscription services, justifying it as a...

00:01:07.000 Politico came out with a statement saying, hey, it's just a transaction.

00:01:10.000 You know, we got premium tools.

00:01:12.000 The government needs to spend four hundred thousand dollars on per year for one hundred and seventy.

00:01:17.000 And that's just one group.

00:01:18.000 That's just Department of Energy. 0.95

00:01:19.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:01:20.000 A judge is trying to block Doge.

00:01:23.000 And and then we got to talk about they're singing the black national anthem at the Super Bowl, but they did remove and racism. 0.63

00:01:30.000 So they're still racist. 0.76

00:01:31.000 And maybe that's maybe the reason they took end racism out of the end zone was because they wanted to sing a racist black supremacist song. 0.74

00:01:38.000 And we'll talk about it because I got to tell you guys, when I heard that they decided to sing a race specific song, I was like, oh, whoa, where's the Asian anthem?

00:01:47.000 Huh?

00:01:47.000 You know, what about me?

00:01:49.000 What about where's the Irish, the Mexican, the come on, if you're going to do one, you got to do everybody, you know? 0.99

00:01:55.000 Song for one race? 0.98

00:01:57.000 Yeah, right. 1.00

00:01:58.000 Nah, it's because they're playing stupid games. 1.00

00:01:59.000 We'll talk about that, my friends. 1.00

00:02:13.000 Costa Rican blend.

00:03:20.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Mel Kay.

00:03:23.000 Hello.

00:03:23.000 Thank you for having me here.

00:03:24.000 Very excited.

00:03:25.000 Who are you?

00:03:26.000 What do you do?

00:03:26.000 Who am I? What do I do?

00:03:27.000 I have The Mel Kay Show.

00:03:28.000 I have been a writer for almost 30 years.

00:03:31.000 I was in Hollywood for 22 years.

00:03:33.000 I left that and I really, really went into a lot of corruption, global situations.

00:03:40.000 Try to follow the money on my show.

00:03:42.000 I have a show every single night on Rumble.

00:03:44.000 And I have a book out called Americans Anonymous, Restoring Power to the People, One Citizen at a Time, where I go through how I think we got here and that our country is addicted to conflict and chaos.

00:03:54.000 And if we don't start to heal ourselves from the inside and make differences in our own lives and our own sphere of influence, then it doesn't really matter who's president if we the people don't stand up and realize we're not just standing for ourselves, we're standing for the world because the Constitution of the United States.

00:04:14.000 I agree.

00:04:16.000 Yeah, it's gonna be fun.

00:04:17.000 Thanks for hanging out.

00:04:17.000 We got Brett hanging out.

00:04:18.000 Guys, yes, Brett here.

00:04:19.000 I host Pop Culture Crisis Monday through Friday at 3 p.m.

00:04:22.000 Eastern Standard Time, which is why I understand why someone would choose to leave Hollywood after so many years.

00:04:28.000 It makes perfect sense to me.

00:04:30.000 I am Phil Labonte.

00:04:31.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.

00:04:34.000 I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.

00:04:35.000 Let's go.

00:04:36.000 Here's a story from NPR. My friends, USAID cut dramatically as officials address stunning and irresponsible changes.

00:04:45.000 I love this story.

00:04:46.000 Trump, of course, announced that they're going to be putting everybody on leave.

00:04:49.000 And so we have this, there's a development.

00:04:52.000 They say that senior staff submitted a list to State Department leadership of around 600 people whose work around the world they deemed essential and could not be disrupted.

00:05:02.000 But Secretary of State Marco Rubio approved less than 300 for exclusion from a broad policy that will put a large percentage of the 13,000-plus workforce on administrative leave by Friday at midnight.

00:05:17.000 That's according to multiple sources.

00:05:19.000 Might as well shut it all down.

00:05:21.000 290 people won't be able to do anything.

00:05:24.000 That's kind of the point.

00:05:25.000 So let me throw it to Mike Cernovich.

00:05:28.000 He can break down a bit, just a bit.

00:05:31.000 You know, Mike Benz, he's the guy.

00:05:32.000 He's been going off on USAID. And tomorrow morning on The Culture War, youtube.com slash timcast.

00:05:37.000 Subscribe if you haven't.

00:05:38.000 We're going to be sitting down with a bunch of experts on how USAID is basically a weapon of the deep state to stage soft coups and spread U.S. influence.

00:05:47.000 Mike Cernovich says, this ish is crazy, man.

00:05:51.000 USAID grants to far left-wing non-profits.

00:05:55.000 The non-profits pay their employees six-figure salaries, most in the 300 to 500-year range.

00:06:00.000 I'd estimate that over half of the D.C. economy is an outright looting of all of us via USAID grants.

00:06:08.000 You guys want to hear something crazy?

00:06:09.000 Rumors are circulating in the D.C. area that top-shelf booze sales have dropped dramatically.

00:06:17.000 Dramatically.

00:06:18.000 This is what people are claiming.

00:06:20.000 So I like to go to some of these restaurants.

00:06:22.000 Look, we're not that far away.

00:06:24.000 We're probably like 10 minutes from Loudoun County.

00:06:27.000 Maybe 15 or 20 now.

00:06:29.000 The old studio is literally across the street.

00:06:31.000 You go down to Reston or Arlington and they've got these really nice restaurants.

00:06:36.000 Everything's super clean and beautiful.

00:06:38.000 These people, this is the capital in the Hunger Games.

00:06:42.000 It is.

00:06:43.000 They're dressed weird.

00:06:45.000 They have insane ideas.

00:06:46.000 They're oblivious to the strife and the perils that working-class people go through, and they get money likely through these systems. 0.94

00:06:54.000 Now, I'm going to add one last thing to Mike Cernovich's point.

00:06:57.000 I've worked for these nonprofits.

00:06:59.000 It is not just that an executive director or senior staff get $300,000 a year.

00:07:05.000 They work for multiple nonprofits at the same time.

00:07:08.000 So when we look at these grants, and we can see that, you know, insert democracy organization of some type.

00:07:14.000 Pays John Smith $500,000.

00:07:16.000 It don't end there.

00:07:17.000 That dude's also on the board of another nonprofit getting some kind of compensation for consulting.

00:07:23.000 Then he's a staff member or a consultant for another nonprofit.

00:07:25.000 Me and my buddies did this 20-something years ago.

00:07:28.000 We started looking at all the board members of various nonprofits working on liberal issues.

00:07:32.000 And this is back during Obama.

00:07:34.000 And we found that there were like 15 people that were on the board or staff of like 20 different nonprofits.

00:07:41.000 And what they do then is...

00:07:43.000 Some guy will come out and say, look, I work for a non-profit and I only make $50,000 a year because I believe in the cause.

00:07:51.000 He's telling you the truth, but omitting that he actually makes...

00:07:55.000 $3 million a year through all the other consulting and nonprofits he works for.

00:07:59.000 That's a microcosm of the absolute dishonesty that comes from them, too.

00:08:03.000 Just that example specifically is a microcosm of the type of lie by omission that everybody hates politicians for.

00:08:10.000 Exactly.

00:08:10.000 But this is what they do, and they fundraise off it.

00:08:12.000 They say, look, you know, I don't pay myself that much.

00:08:16.000 Then their funds, their various organizations are paying them millions.

00:08:19.000 So Donald Trump has nuked USAID. I wonder.

00:08:23.000 What will this do?

00:08:24.000 Will this nuke the D.C. economy?

00:08:27.000 I'd imagine so.

00:08:28.000 But also, I'm curious what you guys think is going to happen around the world with this elimination.

00:08:34.000 I mean, I hope that there are significant vacancies in the greater Washington, D.C. area.

00:08:42.000 But I mean, are we going to see countries collapse?

00:08:43.000 Is all of a sudden Colombia going to be like... 0.98

00:08:47.000 We're right-wing now.

00:08:48.000 Less American gender studies courses going on in foreign countries.

00:08:52.000 Yeah, it's my sense that they're not funding the countries themselves, but they are influencing the country.

00:09:00.000 So it's likely that there will be other influences that take the place of the United States.

00:09:05.000 So there will, like Brett was saying, there will be less gender stuff, there will be less LGBT stuff, less what you would call woke stuff.

00:09:12.000 I think we're going to see basically a lot of celebration around the world by people in countries that are aware that their country was infiltrated and that they had regime change or color revolutions that destroyed their nations.

00:09:26.000 I mean, be it Libya, the former Yugoslavia, any of these countries, Ukraine.

00:09:31.000 People are very aware that this is happening.

00:09:33.000 And I'm sure you guys also are Bon, Romania.

00:09:38.000 There's also the connection to elections and USAID.

00:09:42.000 So there are many people all around the world Colombia, Chile, all over Brazil, that people believe that the CIA, in the guise of USAID and National Endowment for Democracy, have gone into their countries, started the process of creating opposition groups,

00:09:59.000 funded them in order to topple the regime that the people actually wanted to put in a puppet that's going to go along with the bigger scheme, which is Agenda 2030 and all of this global governance model of the stakeholders.

00:10:13.000 And frankly, that's what I think is going on.

00:10:15.000 And the truth is that a lot of this at the very highest level is a U.N. operation.

00:10:20.000 And if you are not on board with the U.N. and the international bankers that run it, then you are going to be thrown, overthrown.

00:10:27.000 And I think people are hip to it now.

00:10:29.000 Not anymore.

00:10:30.000 Right?

00:10:31.000 I don't know if it's going to be the case.

00:10:33.000 It's not.

00:10:33.000 Yeah.

00:10:33.000 They're not going to be able to pull it off.

00:10:35.000 I've been calling this Trump's march to the sea.

00:10:38.000 That, you know, we had a great someone someone called in the members only show and said that Trump's three elections track with Star Wars pretty well.

00:10:46.000 A new hope.

00:10:47.000 The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Orange Man.

00:10:50.000 And I hope I hope I hope that this time with Trump's victory, the deep state is routed.

00:10:56.000 And what he's doing now is effectively scorched earth through their institutions.

00:11:01.000 And they will not be able to put up any kind of meaningful resistance.

00:11:05.000 He has to.

00:11:07.000 And I know that me and Ian got into it a little bit about this last night.

00:11:10.000 But the reason that he has to is because the Democrats are going to use lawfare.

00:11:17.000 They're already talking about Elon Musk and saying that he's breaking the law.

00:11:22.000 He's breaking the law.

00:11:23.000 This is preparing the environment so that way they can charge him with crimes so they can put him in jail.

00:11:29.000 The Democrats, this is the play moving forward.

00:11:33.000 The left is going to continue to accuse the right of breaking the law, and they're going to use the levers of government to put people in jail for defying them.

00:11:44.000 Right, which is why we need Kash Patel in there as soon as possible, and I'll tell you why.

00:11:48.000 Because the lawfare crew is very identifiable.

00:11:51.000 It's through Brookings, it's through the Atlantic Council, it's Eisen and Weissman and McCord.

00:11:55.000 They've been running this lawfare for decades.

00:11:58.000 Eric Holder, Mark Elias, these people don't work for Democrats.

00:12:01.000 They work for the parent company that is running the United States of America.

00:12:05.000 It's my belief that there is no left and right Republican and Democrat, that really our country is captured by a group of people that consider themselves the stakeholders of the region that is the American region, if you look on the higher level.

00:12:17.000 And really, these lawfare people, all they do is they work for them to create roadblocks for anyone that wants to change the status quo, which is the funneling of money into these groups.

00:12:30.000 So it's the Gates Foundation, the Open Society, Omadar Foundation, Democracy Alliance, and then the whole Arabella Partners, Tides Foundation.

00:12:38.000 Well, all of these lawfare crew, especially the Brookings Lawfare people, if you look into the entire situation from before Crossfire Hurricane all the way through, it is the same lawyers.

00:12:49.000 It is the same people involved in the fake impeachments and the Mueller.

00:12:53.000 Weissman Report in the Transition Integrity Project jumped to the entire last four years.

00:12:58.000 These people are a small group of lawyers basically around Georgetown that truly do not work for the best interests of America.

00:13:05.000 They work for the billionaire class that has captured this country and really is looking towards the global governance, Agenda 2030 model, and anyone that gets in the way and threatens the trillions of dollars that they put in, they're going to take down, destroy, and hopefully ruin forever.

00:13:21.000 But I think that's over.

00:13:22.000 No.

00:13:24.000 No?

00:13:24.000 I think they're at it right now.

00:13:26.000 I think that they, look, Mary McCord about, who's the architect of a lot of this with Norm Eisen, they've been doing a show right now.

00:13:33.000 Jen Rubin and Norm Eisen, for some reason, have a new podcast and Weissman's going on there.

00:13:38.000 And these are all the people that have been doing the lawfare the whole time.

00:13:41.000 They said they've been planning for a year.

00:13:43.000 Now, I understand that they're not going to have success like they did in the past, but I do think there's about probably three or four percent of Americans that will still show up anywhere that they ask them to go, whether paid or not, because they are that far gone.

00:13:57.000 And they don't realize these people have no concern for them that they're just players in the game.

00:14:02.000 You mean, what do you mean, activist types?

00:14:04.000 Like protest types.

00:14:05.000 Right.

00:14:07.000 Exactly.

00:14:08.000 One of the hardest things going on right now is one of the ways they're fighting is that a lot of people are starting to have Elon Musk derangement syndrome in relation to Doge and how they view his affiliation with the government.

00:14:20.000 And one of the best things that you can do is to try to find, and I know this sounds counterintuitive sometimes, the driest fact givers can sometimes be the best weapon against somebody like Elon Musk who tends to be very bombastic online, which kind of triggers people in the same way.

00:14:36.000 Trump derangement syndrome did.

00:14:38.000 I like just sharing stuff that Mike Benz does.

00:14:40.000 I was like, if you can't read through this and take the time to understand these connections, then you...

00:14:45.000 Don't need to worry about this because you don't care enough to actually look into it.

00:14:49.000 So I'm seeing a lot of memes being made about how Elon Musk is the shadow president.

00:14:54.000 I'm like, look, if you can't take the time to look into the facts from somebody dry who's just giving you a bunch of documentation, and you don't even have to do that.

00:15:01.000 You don't even have to go as recent as that.

00:15:04.000 You can check something like ChatGBT, which is already biased, and just say, give me facts about USAID and their affiliation with the CIA and see what we've been doing in foreign countries for...

00:15:15.000 This isn't the stuff of movies.

00:15:18.000 This is stuff that's absolutely going on in the country right now, and you should be concerned.

00:15:22.000 If you are more worried about the people uncovering a bunch of wasteful spending and corruption than you are the wasteful spending and corruption itself, we have a problem.

00:15:31.000 We have a problem because they absolutely are more worried about it.

00:15:35.000 Yeah, they are.

00:15:35.000 It goes beyond just opposing because it's Donald Trump.

00:15:39.000 These people are worried about their cash cow.

00:15:41.000 They're worried about the loss of ideological control over these institutions.

00:15:46.000 They're worried about the loss of these institutions.

00:15:49.000 It should be totally uninteresting to the American people that the government is cutting waste.

00:15:55.000 It should be actually the American people should be like, yeah.

00:15:58.000 We want that.

00:15:59.000 I wish that there was an amendment that said, look, every single administration has to cut 10%.

00:16:05.000 You can increase spending, but you have to cut 10% of the government because you know that there's always at least 10%, probably more, of wasteful spending.

00:16:16.000 Well, we're doing it now.

00:16:17.000 The idea that you could go ahead and have no audits that are...

00:16:23.000 Even the Pentagon can't.

00:16:24.000 We haven't had a budget since 2007. And the fact that they're freaking out about this.

00:16:30.000 Isn't Hegseth calling for an audit on the Pentagon?

00:16:32.000 Yes.

00:16:32.000 Well, they failed the last seven of them anyway.

00:16:34.000 That's why they took at General Flynn was the audit.

00:16:36.000 But to your point, there's been no budgets.

00:16:39.000 Like, it's just been omnibus spending, omnibus spending.

00:16:42.000 The fact that they're behaving as if this is some terrible development, it's like, wait a minute.

00:16:48.000 How can you present this idea to the American people?

00:16:52.000 And how is it that there are people out there that actually buy this?

00:16:55.000 Well, maybe it's a giant distraction anyway, because what I think is that they've lost the control of the narrative.

00:17:01.000 And I'm talking about the intelligence community, the unconstitutional spawned from the Patriot Act intelligence blob that Mike Benz and everyone talks about that shouldn't exist.

00:17:11.000 Frankly, I think that there's too many eyes on them.

00:17:13.000 There's too many podcasts like this one and other ones that are pointing at the IC, at DHS, at the surveillance state and asking what...

00:17:21.000 So I think it's a big distraction, just like the Twitter files.

00:17:25.000 They released them when they could no longer not release them.

00:17:28.000 They're releasing all this when people are actually looking at what's going on in foreign countries and USAID. So maybe this is also part of the beginning shock and awe, because the real thing we have to deal with in America is what's happening here to our country.

00:17:41.000 And instead of focusing on Elon Musk or Donald Trump and what they're doing, we should be looking at what all of this has done to our country, to our backyard.

00:17:50.000 What has happened here?

00:17:52.000 And really, I think that it all goes back to this country being captured all the way back by the bankers and billionaires and the globalists that want this global governance model.

00:18:00.000 They've invested trillions of dollars since Obama signed us on this agenda in 2015. They all go for it.

00:18:06.000 I believe Obama was to take us into Hillary.

00:18:08.000 Hillary was to take us into the end of the agenda by 2030. And this country was going to be done.

00:18:14.000 The whole...

00:18:15.000 The whole thing of that whole globalist thing that we're talking about that I believe the lawfare crew work for, I believe that the IC out of the Patriot Act work for, is that there are no more nation states.

00:18:27.000 It is much easier to have a technocracy, totalitarian, 17 goals, which is all it is, to control by regions, like you were saying about Hunger Games.

00:18:35.000 When I read what Kissinger and Brzezinski and all these people were talking about, which is how I think we got here, it really sounds like Hunger Games, that they would like people in nation states to believe they're free, to believe that they have sovereignty.

00:18:47.000 But at the end of the day, they don't, because above them is the Bank of International Settlements, IMF, World Bank, all the tentacles of the NGOs and the globalist organizations connected to the World Economic Forum and the UN, and they don't want us to see them.

00:19:02.000 So right now, yet again, I think we're all pointing at each other when the true danger to our country and the world is actually this group of people that consider themselves stakeholders.

00:19:13.000 The Global Public-Private Partnership I just covered for a week with Norbin Laden, Davos.

00:19:18.000 They're not stopping.

00:19:19.000 They fully are on board to turn us into a totalitarian, technocratic, one-world, controlled...

00:19:28.000 We're all fighting each other when it's like, pull the money out of all these things that are enabling that.

00:19:33.000 Basically, every executive order Joe Biden put in was to reverse everything Trump was doing to get out of the global system.

00:19:40.000 We're not fighting each other.

00:19:41.000 We're fighting people who blindly march behind these institutions.

00:19:45.000 Right.

00:19:45.000 So the American people have a, I guess you can say those who largely vote for Trump, people who have woken up, whatever you want to call it, they're not all conservative.

00:19:55.000 Some used to be liberal.

00:19:57.000 Some are conservative.

00:19:57.000 Some are libertarian.

00:19:58.000 I mean, the Libertarian Party largely supported Donald Trump.

00:20:01.000 And then you have these people that no matter what Democrats do, they will defend them to the point where Elon Musk can uncover that the USAID was funding like gender puppet shows in Peru.

00:20:15.000 And there are literally Democrats being like, I like it.

00:20:18.000 And you're like, why?

00:20:19.000 Your tax dollars, your money.

00:20:21.000 You want to fix the pipes in Flint?

00:20:24.000 Then stop defending this!

00:20:25.000 And they're like, no.

00:20:26.000 So it's not, it doesn't need to be left or right.

00:20:29.000 It's whatever the institution and the machine state is doing, the Democrats are marching behind it.

00:20:34.000 The problem is, at a certain point, when RFK Jr. is like, I think we shouldn't have dangerous chemicals in our food, and the Democrats go, you're bad, you're wrong.

00:20:42.000 Regular people go, what?

00:20:44.000 This does not make sense anymore.

00:20:46.000 A lot of them, it just comes back to a nanny state.

00:20:49.000 A lot of them really, really want to have faith in a state that's going to take care of them.

00:20:53.000 When we understand, or we've learned the hard way, that that's not really how the real world works, and you can't rely on a government to do that.

00:21:01.000 Right, right.

00:21:01.000 Totally.

00:21:02.000 Let's jump to this next story.

00:21:04.000 We got this from the Post Millennial.

00:21:05.000 Trump ends every single media contract at the GSA. Trump told the General Services Administration to terminate every single media contract.

00:21:16.000 I just want to say right away, the media is going to claim that's conspiracy theory.

00:21:20.000 The government's not funding these things.

00:21:22.000 Funding is the manipulative language that they use.

00:21:25.000 What's happening is large amounts of money to the tunes of tens of millions of dollars are being used to purchase these ridiculously expensive subscription packages and tools these media companies offer, effectively propping up whether these companies like, look, Politico is like we've got an analysis tool they're buying.

00:21:43.000 Great.

00:21:43.000 And then the three thousand dollars a year per person that's going to your company, you then write anti Trump news.

00:21:49.000 And what's going to happen is these companies, they know who butters their bread, the Biden administration.

00:21:54.000 So, of course, they're not going to defy them.

00:21:56.000 They don't want to lose a million dollar contract.

00:21:58.000 Nobody does.

00:21:58.000 And that's and that's effectively the kickback.

00:22:02.000 Trump is saying, shut it all down.

00:22:04.000 He recently came out and said billions of dollars had been stolen by USAID and other agencies, sending it to the fake news media, mentioning Politico got $8 million.

00:22:16.000 Now, I want to stress this, because last night people were saying, you know, a nuance bro brought up, but how much of their revenue, you know, what percentage of their revenue is that?

00:22:25.000 Because if Politico is doing $200 million a year, do we care about $1 million?

00:22:30.000 Super Chatter made a great point.

00:22:32.000 If you had a company that makes $50 million a year, to a leftist, they're going to be like, wow, you're rich.

00:22:38.000 And then you look at his balance sheet, and his profit was $50 grand.

00:22:42.000 Yeah, $50 million a year, but you're spending that on staffing and resupplying and things like this.

00:22:48.000 Then along comes a government contract, and they say, you normally sell a product for $10, right?

00:22:53.000 We'll give you $10,000 per product, $1 million a year, and guess what?

00:22:57.000 Now you have $1 million profit, and that guy's putting it in his pocket.

00:23:00.000 So they want to play these games.

00:23:02.000 Trump's shutting it all down.

00:23:04.000 I don't know that this ultimately disrupts the media apparatus beyond what we're already seeing, but I want to stress this.

00:23:12.000 I believe there's a strong probability that as Elon Musk continues his purge, his deep dive into these institutions, we are actually going to find many of these media companies are receiving funding from the U.S. government in some way.

00:23:28.000 Well, that's why they've named them trusted news sources.

00:23:30.000 If you Google now, it takes five pages to see somebody that's not a trusted news source.

00:23:34.000 There's a reason for that.

00:23:35.000 YouTube's the same.

00:23:36.000 Right.

00:23:36.000 So there's a reason for that.

00:23:38.000 And the truth is, I don't think that this whole movement that they've been promoting will continue.

00:23:42.000 I really think it's going to fall apart without these media outlets that constantly put out information that isn't true.

00:23:49.000 I saw Brian Stelter earlier today, unfortunately, on CNN, laughing about it.

00:23:54.000 Now he's saying it's unreality.

00:23:55.000 They've jumped from misinformation to...

00:23:57.000 And he's saying it's unreality that Politico got funding.

00:24:01.000 Well, Reuters also got funding and AP also got funding and all the trusted sources, New York Times, Washington Post, all got funding.

00:24:09.000 They shouldn't need funding if they have a good product.

00:24:12.000 You didn't get money from the government.

00:24:13.000 Well, let's clarify.

00:24:15.000 It is technical funding.

00:24:17.000 Politico says for $13,000 a year, you can get access to our premium package.

00:24:23.000 And the government goes, guess I'll buy that.

00:24:26.000 Now, I'm saying this.

00:24:27.000 If I launched the TimCast Trump plan, and it's $15,000 a year, and then all of Trump's staff signed up for it, Democrats would call that money laundering.

00:24:38.000 Yep.

00:24:38.000 Yes.

00:24:39.000 Absolutely.

00:24:40.000 No, no, no.

00:24:41.000 It's a transaction.

00:24:41.000 What do you mean?

00:24:42.000 He's just buying a service from me.

00:24:44.000 Well, this is like they name their NGOs.

00:24:46.000 You know what?

00:24:47.000 You know what really grinds my gears?

00:24:49.000 I deal with this all the time in business.

00:24:51.000 My accountant says...

00:24:53.000 If you overpay or underpay, the IRS will have questions.

00:24:57.000 If you buy a building, right?

00:24:58.000 Let's say you own a house and it costs you $200,000.

00:25:02.000 And then you sell the house for $100,000.

00:25:06.000 IRS is going to have questions.

00:25:07.000 Who did you sell it to?

00:25:09.000 Some guy I met.

00:25:10.000 Why did you sell the house at half of what you paid for it only recently?

00:25:14.000 They are not going to let you just do that because that means taxes aren't going to them.

00:25:19.000 Plus the property tax in the local area.

00:25:21.000 How about this?

00:25:22.000 You buy a house for $200,000 and then flip it for a million bucks.

00:25:27.000 No, no, let's actually play this game.

00:25:29.000 What do you think would happen?

00:25:31.000 Okay, you know, a news subscription costs $20 a month.

00:25:34.000 And I'm being generous and saying $20.

00:25:36.000 And the government's spending $2,750 per year per person.

00:25:42.000 So let's just call it 10 times.

00:25:45.000 So you buy a $200,000 house and then a few months later you sell it to someone for $2 million.

00:25:51.000 There's going to be questions about who that person is buying that house, and they're going to say, is this like a foreign dignitary buying a house from a politician or something, or why is this money transfer happening?

00:26:02.000 We have already dealt with this, where we've been instructed by our accountants that if exorbitant fees are paid to staff, then you run the risk of being audited because they're going to say, if the average salary for a job is X, why are you paying X times 2?

00:26:16.000 You've got to justify it.

00:26:17.000 We should have every single one of these government staffing agencies and departments justify why they're spending 100 times the average rate for a new subscription.

00:26:29.000 Yep.

00:26:30.000 I mean, I would love to see these kind of things happen.

00:26:34.000 I don't know that they're actually going to, so I think that we should just cut off all the spending right off the bat.

00:26:41.000 I don't imagine that you're going to be able to pin...

00:26:44.000 Politico or Bloomberg as having actually done anything wrong.

00:26:48.000 Not that this is above board, but I just don't think that the government's going to be...

00:26:52.000 I don't think it's worth the time to try and pin it on them.

00:26:54.000 Just cut the money off and make sure that they don't do it again or don't continue to fund them.

00:27:00.000 I think that's probably the best.

00:27:01.000 I mean, again...

00:27:02.000 If someone has a plan to do it and can make it stick, I'm all for it.

00:27:06.000 I'm not saying that I don't want these things to happen, but I think the most likely outcome is cut the money off and walk away.

00:27:12.000 I agree.

00:27:12.000 Give them 90 days and have them file something justifying it, like you're saying.

00:27:17.000 90 days?

00:27:18.000 That's what they want.

00:27:19.000 Give them zero.

00:27:20.000 What?

00:27:21.000 Trump's giving him 90 days?

00:27:23.000 He's giving some people 90 days to decide if they're going to keep certain positions.

00:27:29.000 No, no, I'm talking about these payments to media companies.

00:27:32.000 Yeah, they're stopped, not just for 90 days.

00:27:34.000 But what is he going to do now?

00:27:38.000 Because it's over?

00:27:41.000 This is, this story is, there's, for instance, the Department of Defense paid, I think it was the DOD. $900,000 to Politico for subscriptions.

00:27:52.000 Yeah, we turn that off.

00:27:53.000 We literally just say...

00:27:54.000 No more subscriptions.

00:27:57.000 Most of these, does a place like Politico ask you to also donate?

00:28:00.000 Like a place like The Guardian, which asks you to donate?

00:28:03.000 Politico put out a statement saying, look, these were transactions.

00:28:07.000 This is normal business.

00:28:09.000 And I say, shove it up your...

00:28:11.000 No one is buying $1,000 a month Timcast subscriptions.

00:28:15.000 That's insane!

00:28:16.000 I don't care.

00:28:17.000 It doesn't matter to me if they say that it's normal or not.

00:28:20.000 The government shouldn't spend the money on it.

00:28:23.000 It's not.

00:28:24.000 It's not a responsible use of money.

00:28:27.000 Right.

00:28:27.000 What about Wikipedia?

00:28:29.000 Is that involved in this, too?

00:28:31.000 Not that I'm aware of, but I bet if you go to USAspending.gov, you might find Wikipedia's getting a bunch of money.

00:28:36.000 For sure.

00:28:36.000 But this is the game.

00:28:37.000 That's why I called it plausible deniability.

00:28:40.000 They can feign ignorance.

00:28:42.000 All these media outlets, because apparently the BBC Media Action, their charity arm, was getting USAID funds.

00:28:50.000 But you apparently have...

00:28:52.000 Government employees buying subscriptions, exorbitant fees to AP, Reuters, New York Times, or whatever, hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars.

00:29:02.000 And then they go, we're not funding anybody.

00:29:05.000 I want you to justify why you're going to spend three grand on this package 172 times.

00:29:13.000 Why Politico is going to get a million dollars a year in contracts, I believe it's been reported the total number they've received in subscriptions is $34.3 million.

00:29:23.000 It's over a decade or so, but still.

00:29:26.000 Yeah, it doesn't matter.

00:29:27.000 It's a waste of money.

00:29:29.000 And again, people are going to say, well, in the grand scheme of things, the budget's $2 trillion a year, so this doesn't matter, etc., etc.

00:29:38.000 I don't care.

00:29:39.000 I don't care because the point of this isn't as much about the money as it is about the influence and having the narrative be set by these news agencies and being basically a mouthpiece for the left.

00:29:53.000 I think we have to keep scratching down the surface here, too, because don't forget that during COVID it came out that...

00:30:00.000 Bill Gates was giving a lot of money to a lot of different journals and news sources.

00:30:06.000 Also, Open Society and George Soros does.

00:30:08.000 And, I mean, maybe there's multiple levels of money laundering going through these trusted sources.

00:30:15.000 Because it can't just be...

00:30:16.000 I mean, we know about Bill Gates and the $300 million.

00:30:19.000 And it all connects together anyways.

00:30:21.000 Because remember, however many years ago when it was that YouTube said, we are going to de-rank people that are not considered a trusted news source.

00:30:28.000 And we're only going to push through articles and we're going to push through videos and lives that come from what they call trusted news sources, whether that's Fox, CNN, MSNBC, all of which are working.

00:30:40.000 I have a question.

00:30:42.000 You know, is there any concern for a conflict of interest when these news organizations rely on government employees as a substantial portion of their revenue?

00:30:50.000 Yeah, I would think so.

00:30:51.000 So I have a question.

00:30:53.000 NuancePro asked the other day, what percent of their total yearly revenue comes from government subscriptions?

00:30:58.000 I have a better question.

00:30:59.000 What percent of their premium pro subscriptions come from government entities?

00:31:03.000 Because if you want to make an argument that they make a lot of their money off sponsorships, we're comparing apples to oranges.

00:31:08.000 No, no.

00:31:09.000 I want a list of all of their premium pro subscriptions, and I want to know what percent are government employees, and then I want to know their political affiliation.

00:31:16.000 Yeah.

00:31:17.000 Yeah.

00:31:18.000 Exactly.

00:31:18.000 Might as well just call it the government package.

00:31:20.000 Yeah.

00:31:20.000 They do.

00:31:22.000 So it's design-specific.

00:31:23.000 Let me pull it up.

00:31:24.000 Yeah.

00:31:25.000 Yeah.

00:31:25.000 Politico.

00:31:26.000 We...

00:31:27.000 Politico Pro subscription.

00:31:30.000 And on their Politico Pro website, I think...

00:31:32.000 Let me just load up the website.

00:31:35.000 I'm pretty sure they have a government tier somewhere.

00:31:39.000 I gotta find it.

00:31:40.000 We had it the other day.

00:31:42.000 But...

00:31:42.000 Because they make you learn more.

00:31:44.000 Let me pull it up and see what we got here.

00:31:47.000 And we'll take a look at this ProPlus feature highlights.

00:31:52.000 Look, man, Politico wants access to people in the government.

00:31:55.000 They should just give this to people in the government for free.

00:31:57.000 I think what's more disturbing is that we're funding news agencies all over the world.

00:32:04.000 In Ukraine, in Israel, in China.

00:32:07.000 I mean, we're funding news...

00:32:09.000 All over the place.

00:32:10.000 So, I mean, it's propaganda, obviously.

00:32:12.000 But, I mean, when I found out that whole list of people that they want to kill from Ukraine, of journalists that Tucker's on and Tulsi's on, we're funding that. 0.67

00:32:22.000 You know, we're funding that OCCR that did the Panama Papers.

00:32:27.000 We're funding that.

00:32:28.000 That's also the impetus to Trump's impeachment with Ukraine was also out of that journal about corruption.

00:32:35.000 International corruption.

00:32:36.000 We funded that.

00:32:37.000 How much international news is the U.S. government funding right now is also the question.

00:32:43.000 I mean, look, the fact of the matter is this kind of stuff is propaganda.

00:32:49.000 The point is to put forward a narrative.

00:32:52.000 These media and journalists, institutes or whatever outlets, they're not actually honest brokers.

00:33:01.000 They're not showing honest both sides coverage.

00:33:04.000 They're not real journalists.

00:33:06.000 They're propagandists.

00:33:07.000 The point is to push a narrative.

00:33:09.000 And as long as the point is to push a narrative, they shouldn't get one dime from the government, not a cent.

00:33:14.000 It's really crazy to see, like, all of the tactics that.

00:33:17.000 We used overseas for years, whether it's through the CIA and all that, to see it come back home.

00:33:22.000 They're talking post-2012 when the propaganda arm was turned back on America and seeing how fast it's devolved.

00:33:29.000 Well, Trump should do that.

00:33:30.000 He should overturn the Smith-Munn modernization act immediately.

00:33:34.000 That was in 2013, I believe, and it made it okay for the State Department to disseminate.

00:33:44.000 Essentially propaganda inside the United States.

00:33:46.000 The logic at the time was supposed to be about preventing domestic terrorists from being radicalized, right?

00:33:52.000 Yeah, that was the logic.

00:33:53.000 That was the logic?

00:33:55.000 Yes, that was the logic.

00:33:56.000 But the fact of the matter is, it's being used to propagandize the American people.

00:33:59.000 That's why our politics are so polarized nowadays.

00:34:04.000 There are the people that are inclined to believe what the government says, and then people that are not inclined to believe what the government says.

00:34:11.000 And the government is saying that one half of the country The government is saying these people are likely Nazis.

00:34:17.000 Our democracy is in jeopardy.

00:34:20.000 They're saying that currently now.

00:34:22.000 They're saying that our democracy is in jeopardy because we're trying to cut the bureaucracy.

00:34:29.000 Cutting spending in the government is absolutely...

00:34:31.000 The craziest thing is that what is happening with Elon and Doge is effectively an audit, and Democrat voters and Democrat activists are angry about it.

00:34:40.000 Unreal.

00:34:41.000 Look.

00:34:43.000 That's all you gotta say to a family member.

00:34:44.000 You'd be like, so they're auditing USAID? They're doing an audit of where our money's going?

00:34:50.000 And if they get mad and say we shouldn't audit things, we'll be like, okay, you are insane, bye.

00:34:54.000 Well, they're going to say that DOGE is not an official government organization.

00:34:58.000 You say, do you know what the USDS is?

00:34:59.000 Do you know how these things started?

00:35:01.000 And again, you have to start showing them really, really boring papers.

00:35:05.000 Do not fall for the sensational headlines.

00:35:07.000 If you don't have the brainpower to sit through and look at all of this stuff, then you're falling for the propaganda that we're talking about here.

00:35:14.000 Let's jump to this story from Fox News.

00:35:16.000 Politico co-founder says the liberal media is weaker than ever.

00:35:20.000 In interview, CNN and other liberal media outlets have been forced to cut staff this year.

00:35:26.000 Jim Van Eyse said in an interview published Tuesday that the liberal media has reached a low point in popularity.

00:35:31.000 CNN and NBC News, among other liberal news outlets, have reported layoffs of staff.

00:35:35.000 This year, amid concerns of lower ratings and a changing media landscape, as podcasters continue to grow their audience.

00:35:41.000 Let me tell you a story, my friends.

00:35:42.000 He's right, by the way.

00:35:45.000 Ten years ago, podcasting was taking off on YouTube, and YouTube panicked, took a dump on the floor, and nuked the reach of all of these independent podcast channels.

00:35:57.000 Apple owned the space, Spotify rising in the ranks, and only recently did YouTube start to take back the podcasting space. 0.99

00:36:07.000 Think about how stupid you have to be. 0.99

00:36:12.000 To literally own the podcasting space and ban it in panic. 1.00

00:36:17.000 That's literally what they did.

00:36:19.000 Today, despite the fact that shows like this have substantially more relevance than the likes of Rachel Maddow, of which she gets like, what, 68,000 in the key demo, YouTube will still prop them up in the algorithm and give them preferred, trusted access.

00:36:37.000 Now, it's going to change.

00:36:39.000 Because there's an obvious trend happening.

00:36:42.000 Donald Trump wins, and they're referring to it as the podcast presidency.

00:36:47.000 People are starting to get their news and information more, in general, from podcasts. 0.77

00:36:52.000 And sooner or later, there's going to be a critical mass that tells YouTube to shut up and get this garbage CNN off my front page.

00:37:02.000 Until then, we need to be vocal and tell them it's enough.

00:37:05.000 YouTube started to change a little bit. 0.96

00:37:07.000 But for the love of all that is holy, shut down this trusted news garbage.

00:37:12.000 Just because a powerful, wealthy investor put money behind a guy in a suit does not mean he is correct.

00:37:18.000 And it's time we change that.

00:37:20.000 Do you think a lot of that has to do with the fact that YouTube's connection with Google and they want preferred treatment from the government before, you know, after Trump came in the office, they were hoping that post-Trump presidency, that they would be prevented from growing, you know?

00:37:32.000 I think it's bigger than that.

00:37:33.000 I think that they're all partners of the Global Public-Private Partnership of the World Economic Forum and the UN. They're all in on it if you go look at it.

00:37:40.000 Google is a main partner, as is, you know, BlackRock and all these other people that are really running all this stuff.

00:37:47.000 And frankly, I believe that they're...

00:37:49.000 They're protecting them, that they are all in on not...

00:37:52.000 The great narrative was written by Klaus Schwab after the Great Reset.

00:37:56.000 This is all about...

00:37:58.000 Remember, just last week, just when Trump was inaugurated, they had the Davos meeting.

00:38:03.000 At the Davos meeting, the number one thing was fighting misinformation and disinformation.

00:38:07.000 They had people from Google speaking, from AP speaking, from the New York Times speaking.

00:38:12.000 These are their media.

00:38:13.000 That's the great narrative proponents.

00:38:16.000 Those are the people that push them.

00:38:17.000 That's why.

00:38:18.000 Like I said, since 2015, they decided they were going to push this on all of us on planet Earth, this idea, this dystopian future technocracy totalitarian agenda, and anyone that's not going along with it, they were going to silence, and that is exactly what they've done.

00:38:33.000 Now we see it.

00:38:34.000 And to Mel's point, anyone that thinks that this is just made up or whatever, she's referencing a book that was written.

00:38:40.000 You can go read the book.

00:38:41.000 You can go read The Great Reset.

00:38:43.000 You can go read The Great Narrative.

00:38:45.000 These are books that are written, and all of this stuff is laid out.

00:38:48.000 It is not some kind of, like, it's not a secret.

00:38:51.000 It's not something that's hidden.

00:38:52.000 All you have to do is go and read the books written by the people that want to implement this stuff.

00:38:58.000 Klaus Schwab is very big on letting people know exactly what he wants to do and what he believes.

00:39:04.000 And remember that the reason why they wanted to prop up their own networks is because they haven't found a way to move into politics in a way that somehow feels authentic, meaning that they want to create their own Joe Rogan, as they said after the election, but they don't know how to do that because they don't know how to do it.

00:39:20.000 They can do it with liberal women. 1.00

00:39:21.000 For some reason, they can do it with podcasts like Call Her Daddy.

00:39:24.000 They can pull in liberal women into their agenda, but they have a very hard time getting into traditional politics with something that feels authentic because you either have bread tubers or you have a dude in a suit telling you that Barack Obama was the greatest president of all time. 0.85

00:39:39.000 Bread tubers are suffering right now.

00:39:42.000 Is that connected to USAID? I have no idea.

00:39:44.000 I don't know.

00:39:44.000 Well, Vosh says that it is.

00:39:47.000 Yeah, I mean, I think we also have to realize, I always go back to That NATO cognitive warfare document, Battle for the Brain.

00:39:55.000 I don't know if you guys have all seen it.

00:39:57.000 Greyzone put it out first.

00:39:58.000 It was a confidential document.

00:40:00.000 I guess NATO's innovation hub is right near here.

00:40:03.000 Basically, it was a battle for your brain and talking about how they were using social media and media in general to divide and conquer people within our nation and nations around the world so that we didn't deal with the real problem, which is a very big push to end the sovereignty of nation states.

00:40:20.000 And so at this point, I really think that we are in a cognitive warfare on a massive scale and anything that they can do to confuse the situation.

00:40:29.000 So maybe looking at Doge and all that isn't really our biggest problem.

00:40:32.000 Maybe looking at what we can do during the next 18 months before these people start, you know, going into the midterms, like what we can do locally, looking at all these NGOs have local situations all over the country, all these sustainable development goals, UN, World Economic Forum, Open Society.

00:40:49.000 We infiltrated the local communities first.

00:40:52.000 If we, the people, stand up right now and actually take control, not look at Trump and D.C., the sewer, look at the swamp in our own backyards.

00:41:00.000 That's why I wrote Americans Anonymous and get together for freedom, liberty, privacy.

00:41:04.000 Those are the things that are on the line and do the real hard work, heavy lifting ourselves.

00:41:09.000 Like people are, oh, the founders said this, the founders said that.

00:41:12.000 America's not even 250 years old.

00:41:14.000 We are the founders.

00:41:15.000 So at this point, I think we have an option to save the country because, you know, Trump's always saying, they're not after me, they're after you, I'm in the way.

00:41:21.000 I think they're not after America, they're after world, and America and the Constitution are in the way.

00:41:26.000 And that's where I feel like we are.

00:41:28.000 The Constitution is a uniquely resilient document.

00:41:31.000 It's a really, really, really solid...

00:41:37.000 A piece of government.

00:41:37.000 A way to lay out a government.

00:41:39.000 It's very resilient.

00:41:41.000 It does resist tyranny.

00:41:43.000 It takes a lot of work to actually...

00:41:46.000 It's taken a lot of work to get to this stuff.

00:41:48.000 A lot of unconstitutional stuff that has been slipped by.

00:41:52.000 A lot of misusing things like the Commerce Clause and misusing the Necessary and Proper Clause.

00:41:57.000 Those two things right there have made for a lot of the garbage that's on its face unconstitutional.

00:42:05.000 But you get a court to just say, well, the necessary and proper clause says that we need this.

00:42:10.000 Or the commerce clause says that we can do this because it's supposed to make regular, you know, regulate interstate commerce, which I'm not even going to get into what regulate meant back then.

00:42:20.000 But yeah, the point is the Constitution is very, very resilient, but it takes people that believe in it and actually put their...

00:42:31.000 Elected officials to the test and say, look, this is what the Constitution says.

00:42:35.000 Because if you don't do that, then the Constitution is just a piece of paper.

00:42:39.000 And I think we've been mind-controlled and manipulated to think that we're powerless and that the Constitution is just a piece of paper and it's nothing.

00:42:45.000 And you've heard Obama, the fundamental transformation of America was about destroying the Constitution and the foundation of this country.

00:42:51.000 We have a chance right now to take it back.

00:42:54.000 But if the American people don't realize they're the answer, the answer isn't in D.C. and it's not in the courts.

00:43:00.000 And American people holding their local politicians accountable and being the actual news for their neighbors and getting together and, like, freedom cells, like Derek Brough suggests, or I suggest Americans Anonymous, and not make it.

00:43:12.000 Left and right Republican Democrat is just a fraud to raise money.

00:43:15.000 What it is, is it's about people that believe in the Constitution, inalienable rights, and our sovereignty, and people who don't care.

00:43:22.000 It's one of the reasons why the left is so gung-ho about the idea of packing the court, why they come back to that all the time, why they love the idea of getting rid of the electoral college, right?

00:43:31.000 Because they don't actually believe in what our democracy actually means.

00:43:36.000 Our is the important word for them there.

00:43:38.000 They say that empires last 250 years or 248.

00:43:43.000 So 2026, arguably July 4th.

00:43:48.000 Some would say July 2nd.

00:43:50.000 That'll be the 250 mark.

00:43:52.000 Now, a lot of people have countered that saying it's 250 years as an empire, not as a nation.

00:43:58.000 So how long has the U.S. been empirical and it's only the end of World War II? I think, honestly, it went super empirical, though you're right, and probably started even before that, around the time that the Federal Reserve did, but when George H.W. Bush walked on the floor of the United Nations and said that we were going to have a new world order run by the UN, I think he meant it.

00:44:18.000 I also think our country was captured the day they killed JFK, and I think that we're still fighting the people JFK warned about in 1961 when he did his speech for the press, and he said that there was a monolithic, you know, The whole conspiracy about that, but that there was infiltration instead of invasion, guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.

00:44:38.000 That is what we've been dealing with.

00:44:40.000 And the craziest part about all of this is all these color revolutions, regime change, of course, Samantha Power and the fake responsibility to protect they used to go into Libya and other places has been used against us.

00:44:51.000 And again, I think we have to fight certain things like we should talk about repealing or actually replacing the Patriot Act.

00:44:58.000 If we don't do that, that's when the CIA, which is supposed to be out.

00:45:01.000 Outward facing, teamed up with the EHS to be inward facing.

00:45:05.000 So now they can pull a color revolution on us because of the Patriot Act. 0.80

00:45:09.000 You know, so there's lots of things.

00:45:11.000 Or the 17th Amendment, when states used to actually pick their senators through the legislature and it wasn't a national thing.

00:45:18.000 There's lots of things we can do to take it back to the people, but I think it has to be the people on a local and state level that really make the difference.

00:45:26.000 Let's jump to the story from the Post Millennial.

00:45:28.000 You guys may have seen the story.

00:45:30.000 Trump was at a prayer service and this super woke bishop did the whole woke thing of, we're so nice.

00:45:38.000 Won't you have mercy?

00:45:40.000 Well, it was brutal and annoying.

00:45:42.000 As it turns out, the Episcopal bishop who attacked Trump received $53 million in taxpayer funds.

00:45:48.000 Unreal.

00:45:48.000 According to records, EMM received $53 million of funds from various government programs to resettle 3,600 individuals in 2023.

00:45:55.000 So let's start over.

00:45:57.000 Instead of this individual, I'd like to translate for you, of course, as she was preaching to Donald Trump, saying, please have mercy.

00:46:05.000 I would like to translate that to modern English.

00:46:08.000 Please, Mr. President, don't shut down my kickbacks and the money flowing to my organizations, which make me very wealthy.

00:46:15.000 Have mercy.

00:46:16.000 I mean, it's not a shock.

00:46:21.000 Uh I mean, everyone in D.C., it seems, is part of the swamp.

00:46:26.000 It was a Unitarian church, was it?

00:46:28.000 The Episcopal Migration Ministry.

00:46:31.000 But also, I mean, what is with the 501c3 in churches and synagogues and mosques anyway?

00:46:37.000 I mean, Johnson, I think, put that in to control them.

00:46:40.000 A good church with a good pastor and everything would be able to sustain itself.

00:46:44.000 I mean, I think we have a big issue with that.

00:46:48.000 Well, I mean, normally you tithe.

00:46:50.000 You donate to the church.

00:46:53.000 You get something, you get back.

00:46:54.000 They come and they go around the collection plates and say, please give.

00:46:58.000 And, you know, I grew up Catholic.

00:47:00.000 They would give us a little box full of envelopes.

00:47:03.000 And then every time you go to church, you'd put money in a little envelope and you'd put it in the collection tray.

00:47:07.000 And that's what helps keep the church going.

00:47:10.000 Right.

00:47:10.000 So those donations are all, I believe they're all tax-deductible.

00:47:14.000 The church is allowed to do politics and things like that.

00:47:16.000 That's codified.

00:47:16.000 But then you find out that a lot of these groups, like there's like the Lutheran Ministries or whatever, people were saying that they were getting hundreds of millions of dollars right after Biden lost the election.

00:47:25.000 Catholic Charities, I think, was also accused of getting a bunch of money and facilitating illegal immigration.

00:47:30.000 What's up with that?

00:47:31.000 Which is funny, too, because the left hates the Catholic Church and loves to talk about how evil the Catholic Church is anyways.

00:47:37.000 Depends on the church.

00:47:38.000 Well, it's Catholic charities.

00:47:39.000 That's the problem.

00:47:40.000 Because, you know, I remember there was a document that Jamie Raskin and a couple other people gave to Biden and Harris.

00:47:47.000 It was like the secular Democrats of America. 0.52

00:47:49.000 And every single group on there was like Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Catholic, but they were all secular.

00:47:56.000 Democrats.

00:47:57.000 This is how a lot of the George Soros Open Society funded things have a religious tint to them, but they're not necessarily that.

00:48:06.000 And I think that's a lot of the manipulation of names, just like they say everything's about democracy.

00:48:11.000 Then when you put in a religious thing, because I know HIAS, which is I think Jewish Family Services, was funding a lot of the immigration.

00:48:19.000 Catholic Charities was, UN was, but there was also multiple other religious organizations getting money to facilitate the open border.

00:48:29.000 And you know what, you see the name and you see that it's a religious thing and people just think, oh, they must be good.

00:48:35.000 That's how they hide people that are not.

00:48:37.000 Wasn't this particular, she's a bishop or whatever, isn't she a member of the LGBTQIA?

00:48:46.000 No, she's married and she has kids. 1.00

00:48:48.000 Oh, she's married and she has kids. 0.99

00:48:49.000 Well, here's the thing, though, about all these with these.

00:48:51.000 I didn't think a woman could be a bishop, first of all, but I mean, I guess they can now. 1.00

00:48:56.000 Oh, okay.

00:48:57.000 Yeah.

00:48:58.000 It depends on the denomination.

00:49:01.000 Whatever the case may be, it's one of many, probably.

00:49:04.000 Post Millennial says, according to records, EMM received $53 million that we read.

00:49:09.000 Since EMM has limited lobbying power, the Episcopal Church, a separate legal entity, advocates for additional programs that benefit EMM in Washington, D.C., the outlet said.

00:49:17.000 A 2012 Government Accountability Office report states that funding is based on the number of refugees they serve.

00:49:23.000 So affiliates have an incentive to maintain or increase the number of refugees they resettle each year, rather than allowing the number to decrease.

00:49:30.000 Do you guys know the story of the snakes in India?

00:49:34.000 I think it was India, right?

00:49:35.000 I could be wrong.

00:49:36.000 Basically, they had a snake problem.

00:49:38.000 And so it was like the British colonists were like, what are we going to do about all these snakes?

00:49:41.000 I got an idea.

00:49:42.000 Through the power of decentralization, we can use the citizenry to deal with these snakes.

00:49:48.000 So they put out a call.

00:49:49.000 To each and everybody who brings us the head of a snake, we will pay you.

00:49:53.000 We will pay you cash.

00:49:55.000 So you know what those townspeople did?

00:49:57.000 They started breeding them.

00:49:59.000 Oh! 0.60

00:50:00.000 Brilliant.

00:50:01.000 Yep, and then the snake problem got substantially worse.

00:50:03.000 Oh, wow.

00:50:04.000 And so what happens is, you get some refugees. 0.97

00:50:06.000 The government says, let's, okay, we gotta deal with this problem.

00:50:09.000 How about we give grant money to various non-profits to help deal with the refugees?

00:50:13.000 Then what happens is, all these organizations say, bring in illegal immigrants, we'll call them refugees. 0.92

00:50:18.000 We'll get way more money from the government, and this is the perverse incentive we are witnessing.

00:50:23.000 It has to stop.

00:50:25.000 Wow.

00:50:26.000 That's true.

00:50:26.000 I mean...

00:50:28.000 I don't see how...

00:50:30.000 This kind of stuff is completely and totally unsustainable with as much debt as we have.

00:50:36.000 And again, I will continue to reaffirm the fact that even though this is all bad, it's actually the unfunded liabilities that we have to worry about.

00:50:45.000 It's Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security.

00:50:48.000 Those are the things that are actually driving the debt.

00:50:50.000 But if you don't have a balanced budget...

00:50:53.000 Then it just goes into...

00:50:55.000 It only makes it worse.

00:50:57.000 Well, I dream of a balanced budget, man.

00:50:59.000 I mean, it would be wonderful.

00:51:00.000 And I don't...

00:51:01.000 There's no legitimate reason why the United States can't have a balanced budget.

00:51:07.000 Well, they can.

00:51:07.000 We have...

00:51:08.000 Our GDP is like $29 trillion.

00:51:12.000 There's a legitimate reason.

00:51:14.000 And that is that there's a bunch of skeevy, corrupt a-holes siphoning money and extracting the value and the labor for themselves.

00:51:23.000 Government needs the political platinum package.

00:51:26.000 That's why we can't have a balanced budget.

00:51:27.000 That's right.

00:51:28.000 You know, us normies, we spend $20 a month for our Politico, but the government's like, no, no.

00:51:34.000 You guys remember that?

00:51:35.000 Don't work for us.

00:51:36.000 You remember that app you could download where all it showed was a ruby on the screen and it cost $10,000?

00:51:41.000 It was something like this.

00:51:43.000 There was an app in the Google Play Store for $10,000 and all it did was show this image and the point was that rich people would show it off like jewelry.

00:51:52.000 Like, I have.

00:51:53.000 I can spend $10,000 on an app.

00:51:56.000 That's basically what the government's doing.

00:51:58.000 You know, when you show up, they're like, your department got you what?

00:52:01.000 Silver tier?

00:52:03.000 We're Platinum Pro.

00:52:04.000 Yeah, yeah, exactly.

00:52:05.000 Remember that scene from American Psycho where they're showing off their business cards?

00:52:07.000 Oh, yeah.

00:52:08.000 Basically that.

00:52:09.000 Basically that.

00:52:10.000 Sweating, looking at the...

00:52:11.000 That's what they're like.

00:52:12.000 Yeah, sweating, spinning a laptop around, and it's like, Platinum Pro.

00:52:16.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:52:17.000 Whoa, you've got Platinum Pro.

00:52:19.000 What does it give you?

00:52:20.000 Well...

00:52:20.000 When I read the news, there's little silver frilly things on the side.

00:52:24.000 See, Tim will reimburse us for the movies we go see, but he will not buy us the AMC Plus package.

00:52:31.000 No, never.

00:52:32.000 We should totally do this.

00:52:34.000 We should make it so that if you sign up to Timcast for $1,000 a month, there's gold trim on the side of the website.

00:52:40.000 It's gotta be something like that.

00:52:42.000 At least somebody will do it.

00:52:43.000 I said earlier, I was like, if you sign up for $1,000 a month, I'll give you my phone number.

00:52:48.000 Because then we have the Timcast, Platinum Pro, $1,000 a month, $12,000 a year package, and then all the people in government need it because they can get me on the phone.

00:52:57.000 No, it's an additional $1,000 to get you to answer.

00:53:00.000 They can just have the number.

00:53:01.000 Yeah, I said you could have the number.

00:53:02.000 I never said I'd answer.

00:53:03.000 Exactly.

00:53:04.000 Voicemails for the $1,000.

00:53:05.000 If I find out that someone actually signed up for the $1,000...

00:53:09.000 Oh, people would.

00:53:10.000 You knew they would.

00:53:11.000 Unreplied, like, unread text messages.

00:53:13.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:53:14.000 I'll do it.

00:53:15.000 Left unread.

00:53:16.000 No, I'll do it.

00:53:17.000 I'll give my phone number if people do.

00:53:18.000 I mean, like I said, I was half joking when I said I would do it, but...

00:53:21.000 I gotta be honest.

00:53:22.000 Like, I don't really think anyone's gonna go to TimCast.com, click Join Us, then go to 1000 Options, sign up, and give $1,000 a month to TimCast.

00:53:28.000 If you do, I'll give you my phone number.

00:53:29.000 It's not gonna happen.

00:53:31.000 I don't imagine that it will.

00:53:33.000 It'd be funny if, like, we get one sign-up and it's like Donald Trump.

00:53:35.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:53:37.000 That's what I was thinking.

00:53:38.000 And he's like, I love the show, wanted to talk, didn't have your number.

00:53:42.000 Like, President Trump, I actually would have taken your phone call even if you didn't sign up for $1,000 a month.

00:53:47.000 I would have.

00:53:47.000 Hopefully he'll come by here one day.

00:53:50.000 Yeah, we sat down with him.

00:53:52.000 Well, I mean, we're pretty far from D.C. Every time we've talked to his crew, they've been like, bring the show to us.

00:53:59.000 But he does that with everybody.

00:54:01.000 Basically, if you want to do a show with Trump, usually you have to be by him.

00:54:03.000 So for the shows that he's done, they're in Florida.

00:54:06.000 Easy for him to pop over if he lives there.

00:54:09.000 But coming to Harper's Ferry.

00:54:13.000 Yeah, we can't get members of Congress to drive out here very often.

00:54:16.000 So we're looking at setting up smaller...

00:54:19.000 Satellite Studios closer to D.C. Okay.

00:54:21.000 Yeah, we got a couple that we can already use.

00:54:23.000 We have friends in the area.

00:54:24.000 And that way, you know what's crazy?

00:54:26.000 I'll tell you a story.

00:54:27.000 We were trying to rent.

00:54:28.000 I was trying to rent a townhouse in D.C. so we could have a studio in D.C. So we could, if Congress is in session, you had all these people.

00:54:36.000 They know us.

00:54:37.000 They come on the show.

00:54:38.000 None of them will rent to me.

00:54:40.000 Oh, really?

00:54:41.000 Yeah.

00:54:41.000 Oh, wow.

00:54:42.000 That's ridiculous.

00:54:43.000 Every single time we submit, they email back with, I'm sorry, it's no longer available, and they take it off the market. 0.64

00:54:48.000 Yeah, it's happened like four times.

00:54:50.000 That's unbelievable.

00:54:51.000 Yeah, and I was like, we're going to have to have a company do it or something.

00:54:54.000 You can do that through a company, right?

00:54:56.000 Like an LLC? Yeah, I have my wife do it. 1.00

00:54:58.000 I told Allison, I was like, you put your name down.

00:55:02.000 Stop putting my name down.

00:55:03.000 Nobody knows.

00:55:05.000 You could ostensibly buy a building, right?

00:55:08.000 We could, but that's a huge commitment for a temporary remote studio that no one's going to be in.

00:55:14.000 Yeah, but now that Doge is in effect and stuff, maybe it's not the best investment.

00:55:19.000 But if Donald Trump had lost, it might be a better investment.

00:55:22.000 Yeah, but maybe a lot will close down.

00:55:23.000 Winter White House, man.

00:55:25.000 You know?

00:55:26.000 Got to go down to Mar-a-Lago for the Winter White House.

00:55:28.000 Yeah.

00:55:28.000 That's how it's got to be done.

00:55:30.000 All right, let's jump to this next story.

00:55:34.000 I can't read this.

00:55:36.000 Phil, you read the headline.

00:55:37.000 Trump derangement syndrome.

00:55:38.000 State rep sterilizes herself to protest president. 1.00

00:55:42.000 Thank you.

00:55:43.000 What?

00:55:45.000 Is this like those women that were... 1.00

00:55:46.000 This is real.

00:55:48.000 Okay.

00:55:48.000 Democratic Michigan rep Lori Pahutsky, during a protest Wednesday against Trump, announced she decided to sterilize herself as a way to challenge the new administration.

00:55:59.000 Lady... 1.00

00:56:00.000 Thank you for your service.

00:56:01.000 What Tim is saying, thank you for your service.

00:56:03.000 We appreciate your commitment to not making another one of you.

00:56:07.000 Thank you.

00:56:08.000 Just under two weeks ago, I underwent surgery to ensure that I would never have to navigate a pregnancy in Donald Trump's America.

00:56:15.000 I refuse to let my body be treated as currency by an administration that only sees value in my ability to procreate.

00:56:21.000 I'm pretty sure every conservative is saying exactly what Phil just said.

00:56:26.000 Didn't he just make Pam Bondi like Attorney General? 1.00

00:56:30.000 What about that, who was the really overweight influencer who said she lost 50 pounds since Trump took office because of the price of food? 1.00

00:56:38.000 What?

00:56:39.000 Olivia, Julie, I don't know her name. 0.58

00:56:42.000 Julianne or something like that said that she lost 50 pounds in two weeks because of the price of everything. 1.00

00:56:48.000 It's going to be really funny after all these USAID employees are fired and then all of the followers that liberals have just disappear.

00:56:56.000 Right, exactly.

00:56:57.000 And they're like, I'm going to be tracking this.

00:57:00.000 I'm warning you, David.

00:57:01.000 David Pakman, you hear me.

00:57:03.000 I'm staring at your subscriber count after USAID goes down.

00:57:07.000 If those numbers...

00:57:08.000 If your views don't...

00:57:10.000 I got questions.

00:57:12.000 I'm kidding, by the way.

00:57:13.000 I genuinely think people watch that guy's show.

00:57:15.000 Look, man.

00:57:15.000 Vosh was just on the other day complaining.

00:57:18.000 There was a clip of him complaining.

00:57:19.000 I'm going to be in the poorhouse.

00:57:20.000 Blah, blah, blah.

00:57:21.000 Wait, what?

00:57:22.000 Vosh was just on his stream.

00:57:24.000 E-begging, saying, you know, you've really got to subscribe and blah, blah, blah, because I'm going to be in the poorhouse.

00:57:29.000 I didn't watch that.

00:57:30.000 I didn't see the whole clip.

00:57:32.000 Has he considered sterilizing himself?

00:57:35.000 I think, well...

00:57:37.000 Hold on, I got a question.

00:57:40.000 This movement's been around for a minute.

00:57:41.000 When Trump was running, tons of women said that they were going to sterilize themselves so that they don't risk getting pregnant in post-Roe America or whatever. 1.00

00:57:51.000 And I'm like, if...

00:57:53.000 If I cheer that on, will I get banned on YouTube?

00:57:56.000 Like, if I clap, yeah, oh, you go, girl!

00:57:59.000 They're gonna be like, they stopped it.

00:58:00.000 You know what I mean?

00:58:00.000 Think about how sad that is, that people would do that over politics, deprive themselves of a happy life.

00:58:06.000 I mean, I just...

00:58:07.000 They don't consider that a happy life.

00:58:08.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:58:09.000 They're not depriving themselves.

00:58:10.000 They are sacrificing themselves for us.

00:58:13.000 Oh, I'm sorry.

00:58:14.000 They also don't consider that a happy life.

00:58:16.000 They don't see having a family.

00:58:18.000 They are making the world a better place by stopping climate change.

00:58:24.000 That's our in.

00:58:25.000 You can't ban me because I'm celebrating their efforts against climate change.

00:58:30.000 Oh, good for you.

00:58:30.000 That's good.

00:58:31.000 Liberals, if you want to fight climate change, I hear, don't have kids.

00:58:35.000 Oh, right.

00:58:36.000 I did see AOC discuss that.

00:58:38.000 That's right.

00:58:39.000 So I'm not being mean.

00:58:40.000 I'm agreeing.

00:58:41.000 I'll be mean.

00:58:43.000 So, but let's go back to that Vosh thing. 1.00

00:58:44.000 I heard that there were some, like, so this happened after the election.

00:58:48.000 Pac-Man and Brian Tyler Cohen, a bunch of people were like, I'm losing subscribers, oh heaven, help me.

00:58:53.000 And then, at the end of the week, Pac-Man was like, no, no, they started signing back up again, we're getting people.

00:58:59.000 Is that true, or have they been bleeding subs the whole time?

00:59:02.000 I'm not sure.

00:59:02.000 Hey, if you're watching and you know the Vosh clip that I'm talking about, tweet that at me, just tag me.

00:59:08.000 But if I understand correctly, the situation was, do you have it?

00:59:12.000 Okay.

00:59:12.000 The situation was he was on his Twitch stream.

00:59:16.000 Nah, Pacman's doing well.

00:59:18.000 His show's growing.

00:59:20.000 Oh, well.

00:59:20.000 He's getting lots of subs.

00:59:21.000 Good for him.

00:59:22.000 YouTube's propping them all up.

00:59:24.000 Trump's got to have a meeting with the YouTube people.

00:59:26.000 I think he did.

00:59:28.000 Yeah, I think he did.

00:59:29.000 So, we'll see what happens.

00:59:31.000 I did hear that, you know, Musk went there and it was supposed to change, but I saw in the last few days a couple people said that they were still getting...

00:59:39.000 You know, their posts taken down and stuff on Instagram, but...

00:59:42.000 Well, YouTube is still very much propping up the left, censoring and doing all that stuff.

00:59:48.000 So you're gonna find out that, like, the government is buying a bunch of YouTube Premium subscriptions.

00:59:52.000 I bet you they're doing that, too.

00:59:54.000 Yeah.

00:59:54.000 YouTube Premium is just TV, isn't it?

00:59:56.000 No, no.

00:59:57.000 YouTube TV is different than YouTube Premium.

00:59:58.000 I think it did come out that they were buying a lot of Disney Plus subscriptions.

01:00:03.000 Was it for real?

01:00:04.000 I believe so.

01:00:05.000 Look it up.

01:00:06.000 I think so.

01:00:07.000 I mean, that makes sense.

01:00:07.000 Bob, Iger loves politics.

01:00:09.000 Yeah.

01:00:09.000 It's so frustrating to hear these kind of things because it was one thing when you were just like, oh, these people are all kind of on the same page.

01:00:18.000 But then to come to find out that the government is just spending tax dollars, spending your money on Promoting...

01:00:27.000 Their own ideology that they ascribe to, even though half the country is not down with it, it's really frustrating.

01:00:35.000 What's really sad is I went all over the country, probably like 26 stops.

01:00:40.000 We went everywhere.

01:00:40.000 And we met so many people at events that would like cry.

01:00:44.000 They were so isolated and lonely.

01:00:46.000 They felt like they couldn't believe that this whole country where it was going and everything.

01:00:51.000 And now it turns out all of that was pretty much fake.

01:00:53.000 But a lot of these people felt like they lost friends, family, this and that, so isolated.

01:00:59.000 And then they'd come and they'd go to a big stadium with 10,000 people that think like them and think, oh my God, I'm not the only one.

01:01:06.000 I thought the world's gone crazy.

01:01:08.000 But the media is telling them that they're terrible people. 1.00

01:01:11.000 They're despicable. 1.00

01:01:12.000 They're going to kill their grandparents. 1.00

01:01:15.000 All this stuff. 0.99

01:01:15.000 And it really hurt people deeply. 0.99

01:01:18.000 And, you know, to think that it was all a...

01:01:21.000 A cognitive warfare operation.

01:01:23.000 Yo, the SBA gave a bunch of loans to YouTubers. 1.00

01:01:27.000 Yeah, look at that.

01:01:28.000 I got banned for life.

01:01:30.000 The Vosh clip.

01:01:31.000 Kellen put the Vosh clip in the IRL slack.

01:01:35.000 SBA was giving money to YouTubers?

01:01:38.000 Yeah.

01:01:39.000 Wow.

01:01:40.000 For being a bit self-centered for a moment.

01:01:43.000 I'm sorry.

01:01:43.000 I apologize.

01:01:44.000 I know, I know.

01:01:45.000 They say privileged streamer.

01:01:46.000 My job could go out like that.

01:01:48.000 You know how crazy things are getting over here?

01:01:50.000 Literally, like, at any moment.

01:01:52.000 You know that?

01:01:53.000 They could just say, hey, YouTube, it's un-American of you to allow left-leaning people to post videos.

01:02:00.000 These communist videos are pro-China.

01:02:02.000 Kablamo, I'm out.

01:02:03.000 And that's a little scary.

01:02:05.000 Literally, like, there's no, like, it's a day-by-day thing.

01:02:08.000 I wake up every morning and I check.

01:02:10.000 So, I'm just saying, in the meantime, maybe I'm a little bit more like-and-subscribe-y than usual. 0.99

01:02:16.000 You have a backup platform you're planning to go to if shit hits the fan? 0.81

01:02:19.000 Yeah, there's a corner under, like, right next to the 5 in downtown Seattle that I don't usually see other people panhandling on. 0.98

01:02:27.000 Really?

01:02:28.000 I mean, I gotta say, like, that pitch, that was no good, Vosh. 1.00

01:02:32.000 Vosh, you can do better than that.

01:02:33.000 You've gotta bang the table, and you've gotta be like, the time is now!

01:02:37.000 The resistance needs you!

01:02:39.000 Like, you can do better than that.

01:02:41.000 I don't imagine that he's actually in significant trouble or in significant risk of losing his YouTube channel.

01:02:48.000 But I wouldn't have a problem if Twitch actually started to say, look, the commie...

01:02:53.000 The commie stuff is a little too much. 0.96

01:02:55.000 You've got Hassan, who's a terrorist supporter. 0.94

01:02:59.000 You've got Vosh, who's a lollicon. 1.00

01:03:01.000 You've got Destiny, who's a sex pest and alleged to be sharing... 1.00

01:03:06.000 Doesn't he have criminal charges? 0.57

01:03:08.000 Yeah.

01:03:09.000 I don't know if that's true.

01:03:10.000 That's why I said alleged, but he's alleged to have shared videos of himself and another woman.

01:03:17.000 I thought it was a guy.

01:03:18.000 Well, no, that one happened, too.

01:03:21.000 But this is another time.

01:03:22.000 So he's alleged to have...

01:03:25.000 The woman is actually... 1.00

01:03:26.000 The left is in shambles.

01:03:29.000 My feelings were hurt when I found out that Politico, who gets less views than us, makes substantially...

01:03:34.000 Substantially is not even the right word.

01:03:37.000 Substantially times ten more money than we do.

01:03:39.000 Well, it was a big deal.

01:03:40.000 There was the great purge of 2020 on YouTube.

01:03:43.000 I was part of it.

01:03:44.000 X22 Report, SGT Report, Amazing Poly.

01:03:47.000 There was a whole bunch of people in one day that got their channels taken away.

01:03:51.000 Overnight, banned for life.

01:03:52.000 And I still don't understand that rationale.

01:03:55.000 But, I mean, have we ever seen any YouTube or Google?

01:04:00.000 Back in like we did for Twitter and Facebook.

01:04:03.000 Because, you know, they should come clean and get back on track.

01:04:06.000 If they're asking Trump to be a part of the administration, then remove everything and let everyone compete, you know, in real time.

01:04:15.000 I want to see this USA Spending Out Gov website is really amazing.

01:04:20.000 I'm trying to look up data on YouTube.

01:04:22.000 Like, is the government giving money to YouTube?

01:04:24.000 And when you search for YouTube, it just is YouTubers.

01:04:27.000 How about Alphabet?

01:04:30.000 Yeah, but I'm curious, are they, like, buying these packages?

01:04:34.000 You know what I mean?

01:04:35.000 Does YouTube have some kind of, like, crazy $10,000 package?

01:04:38.000 The government's just like, we'll buy that.

01:04:39.000 Maybe, but do you know about Arabella Partners and 1630 Fund and Tides?

01:04:45.000 Like, it could be coming through something else.

01:04:47.000 I think they call it solicitation.

01:04:49.000 Like, if you go to someone and say, what they used to do in Chicago, they probably still do it.

01:04:54.000 You go to Kegger's.

01:04:55.000 Have you ever been to a kegger party?

01:04:56.000 Yes.

01:04:57.000 Of course.

01:04:57.000 And they sell red cups.

01:04:59.000 Yes, I know.

01:04:59.000 And it's like, the beer's free!

01:05:01.000 But the cup is $5.

01:05:02.000 And I'm like, bro, you think the cops are going to fall for that?

01:05:04.000 But that's what they would do every time.

01:05:06.000 And they'd be like, I'm not selling beer.

01:05:07.000 I'm selling cups.

01:05:07.000 And it's like, yeah, you're selling beer, dude.

01:05:10.000 Like, red cups don't cost $5.

01:05:13.000 It's a markup.

01:05:14.000 They do not.

01:05:14.000 Sure.

01:05:15.000 Yeah, and then you know what was really funny in Chicago?

01:05:18.000 Because Cook County had attacks on cigarettes.

01:05:20.000 So people would drive to Indiana.

01:05:22.000 Buy cartons of cigarettes for like 20 bucks, then drive to Chicago parties and sell the packs half off and make insane money.

01:05:29.000 I'm pretty sure that's smuggling.

01:05:31.000 Yeah, it is.

01:05:32.000 People do that in New Hampshire.

01:05:33.000 People would come to New Hampshire, buy cigarettes, buy liquor, buy fireworks, and then they would drive back down into Massachusetts.

01:05:40.000 Because Massachusetts has the most draconian laws of just about anywhere.

01:05:44.000 Only recently, gun sellers started actually saying, look, you have to show an ID to be able to buy ammunition.

01:05:52.000 Because in Massachusetts, you have to have an FID card or whatever just to buy ammunition.

01:05:58.000 They won't sell actual guns because that's not actually regulated by the federal government because those are regulated by the federal government.

01:06:05.000 You have to do a NICS check for that stuff.

01:06:07.000 But when it comes to ammo, the government doesn't, the feds don't care.

01:06:10.000 So people would come into New Hampshire and go to, you know, different gun sellers and buy ammunition and stuff.

01:06:16.000 And only recently they've started to say, look, you have to have a New Hampshire ID or else we won't sell you.

01:06:22.000 Let's jump to this story from Irish Star.

01:06:25.000 That's a source, I guess.

01:06:27.000 Michael Strahan speaks out.

01:06:29.000 On Super Bowl boycott threats over black national anthem.

01:06:33.000 You guys say there's going to be a boycott?

01:06:35.000 The Irish star.

01:06:36.000 Did Sheamus send this to you?

01:06:37.000 He did.

01:06:38.000 There's going to be a boycott of the Super Bowl because they've decided they're going to sing a black supremacist song before the show starts.

01:06:46.000 Yep. 0.91

01:06:47.000 I mean, it's racist.

01:06:49.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:06:50.000 And so, needless to say, I was mortified.

01:06:52.000 You know, that they would not sing the Asian national anthem.

01:06:57.000 What's going on?

01:06:59.000 Where are we not people?

01:07:00.000 Why are we being oppressed like this by the Super Bowl?

01:07:03.000 Now, in all honesty, we're having a Super Bowl party.

01:07:07.000 We're going to enjoy it.

01:07:08.000 There will be pizza.

01:07:09.000 There will be beer.

01:07:10.000 There will be wings.

01:07:12.000 The Super Bowl will be played.

01:07:13.000 I won't watch it, but a lot of people here like it, and they will watch the game, and I'll go, oh, hey, what's the score?

01:07:19.000 Who's winning?

01:07:20.000 And I'm going to root for whichever team...

01:07:22.000 I think the Eagles hate Trump, right?

01:07:25.000 You think?

01:07:26.000 There was, like, what is it, some higher-up guy said some nasty things about him?

01:07:30.000 I don't know.

01:07:31.000 But you said they got rid of end racism out of the end zone.

01:07:34.000 That's what they countered it.

01:07:35.000 They're like, look, we'll sing this national anthem, but we'll get rid of end racism.

01:07:38.000 I was surprised.

01:07:39.000 I heard that Trump is the first president, sitting president, to go to the Super Bowl this year.

01:07:43.000 He's going.

01:07:44.000 Yeah, but apparently, like, I don't know if it was the owner of the Eagles or something like that.

01:07:47.000 The chat probably knows.

01:07:48.000 Said something, and then a bunch of Eagles fans were like, shut up. 0.97

01:07:51.000 We love Trump. 0.88

01:07:52.000 Check out the story.

01:07:52.000 They say, "Fox NFL Sunday presenter Michael Strand insisted the backlash to the staging of the Black National Anthem is insane amid Super Bowl boycott calls.

01:08:01.000 Blah, blah, blah.

01:08:02.000 The song has been part of the Super Bowl festivities, although it has become a talking point in recent years as the star-spangled batter has already performed ahead of kickoff." Why are they doing that?

01:08:12.000 "Grammy award-winning artist Ladisi is to perform the song.

01:08:15.000 Strand expressed confusion on why something so uplifting is not the source of I don't know.

01:08:20.000 How about we do this?

01:08:21.000 It's segregation.

01:08:22.000 How would you feel if they sang the white national anthem and it's not the Star Spangled Banner and it was just a song about white families?

01:08:28.000 Like, dude, I'm not playing this game.

01:08:30.000 If you're going to do the black national anthem, I demand the Indian national anthem, the Asian national anthem, well, not the Mexican, but the Latino national anthem. 0.98

01:08:39.000 We're going to have a national anthem for every race.

01:08:43.000 And then we need the men's national anthem and the women's. 0.56

01:08:46.000 And by the time that's done, the game starts at midnight.

01:08:49.000 It would have been healing not to do this this year.

01:08:51.000 You know, just to kind of be like, you know, it's just if we could all, I just...

01:08:56.000 It's just so sad that they just continue down this path.

01:08:59.000 But the NFL, something's terribly wrong there.

01:09:02.000 I mean, obviously the CCP is very embedded in the NBA. I don't know how far...

01:09:07.000 The NFL? Well, Jay-Z's production company.

01:09:10.000 The Super Bowl is NFL. Right, I know.

01:09:11.000 I said, obviously the CCP is very embedded in the NBA. I don't know if they're embedded here.

01:09:16.000 But it's Jay-Z's production company that has a contract with the NFL that has an entire...

01:09:21.000 Yes, well, to work on social justice initiatives connected to football.

01:09:25.000 The real question here is why the Kansas City Chiefs announced that they're going to start making their own original scripted content when all of those rigged Super Bowl claims are being made.

01:09:37.000 I think football's fake.

01:09:39.000 I think football is completely staged.

01:09:42.000 I think it's like 80% fake.

01:09:44.000 It looks like it is now.

01:09:45.000 I watch those videos where it's like...

01:09:47.000 I don't know much about him.

01:09:49.000 Those refs are certainly being accused of protecting Patrick Mahomes.

01:09:52.000 There's all these videos that came out.

01:09:54.000 I don't pay attention to a lot of football, but there's the dudes running with the ball towards the end zone, and then a guy looks at him and then spins the wrong way.

01:10:01.000 There's a ton of these videos that went viral where a guy's watching and he's like, hey, watch this dude.

01:10:06.000 He just stops and doesn't tackle the guy running for the end zone, and I'm like, that's weird.

01:10:11.000 Maybe I just don't know anything about football and it looks weird to me.

01:10:14.000 But I'm going to tell you, if I watch a game where the goal is to tackle the guy with the ball and then there's a bunch of videos where a guy is running towards the guy with the ball and then just jumps the other direction, I'm like, yeah, he did that on purpose.

01:10:28.000 They try to justify and make up reasons like, you don't understand the play.

01:10:30.000 Like, I had to do that.

01:10:31.000 I'm like, I don't know, dude.

01:10:32.000 Looks fake to me.

01:10:33.000 The other thing that's going on right now, so because Trump is attending the game, it's become a political issue as well, where they're cornering the players.

01:10:40.000 They're like, so how do you feel about playing for the president?

01:10:42.000 And every single one of them looks like there's a gun to their head, and they're like, um, I think it's an okay, like, they're very terrified to be like, because, like, Travis Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes and other players were like, yeah, yeah, it's an honor to play in front of the president, which, of course, is being spun.

01:10:57.000 I love that guy.

01:10:58.000 He's fantastic.

01:10:59.000 Which is just a way for really, really dishonest press outlets to get clicks.

01:11:04.000 Which is why they shouldn't get money.

01:11:06.000 Which is why we shouldn't be sending them our tax dollars.

01:11:09.000 Went full circle.

01:11:11.000 Exactly.

01:11:12.000 The idea that the sportscasters are asking players what they think about the press.

01:11:23.000 The president going to the Super Bowl.

01:11:25.000 There was a time in America where every American would simply say, that is a great honor.

01:11:32.000 I'm glad that the president is a football fan and I hope he really enjoys the game.

01:11:38.000 That's the correct answer.

01:11:40.000 The fact that there is a correct and incorrect answer is a sign of rot in this country.

01:11:46.000 We're all Americans and you may not like the policy that the president has or The program that he prefers.

01:11:56.000 But it is not a stain on anyone's life to say...

01:12:01.000 I think it's good that the president is going to engage in one of the national pastimes, one of the biggest sporting events that happens in the United States every year.

01:12:12.000 He is going to be a part of it.

01:12:13.000 He's going to go to New Orleans.

01:12:15.000 We just had a terrorist attack not two months ago here in New Orleans.

01:12:19.000 It's good that the president's coming down here, that he's showing that it's okay to go out there and enjoy things in New Orleans, showing that it's safe to go and do these things in New Orleans.

01:12:30.000 This is great.

01:12:31.000 It's great that the president's gonna be here and terrible leftists have to make it a big deal. 0.97

01:12:35.000 I hate them so much. 0.80

01:12:36.000 Was that us earlier talking about the New Orleans terrorist attack?

01:12:39.000 Like how that one feels like it just got memory hold?

01:12:42.000 Is that just the acceleration of how many things seem to happen constantly?

01:12:47.000 I think that's what it is.

01:12:47.000 Where it's just like, I heard that they were supposed to put the barriers up.

01:12:51.000 They never put the barriers up.

01:12:52.000 They didn't even know the barriers were there.

01:12:53.000 And then the story just seemed to disappear from the news.

01:12:56.000 Yeah.

01:12:56.000 When the Secretary of Defense was missing in action for three weeks.

01:13:00.000 Yeah.

01:13:01.000 Nothing happened.

01:13:02.000 He was in the hospital getting a colonic or something?

01:13:04.000 Is that what happened?

01:13:04.000 Not a colonic.

01:13:06.000 I think he was getting checked for prostate cancer or surgery for prostate cancer.

01:13:10.000 But either way, it was the sec death and then ignoring the fact that Joe Biden...

01:13:16.000 It was a corpse at that time. 0.98

01:13:17.000 He was literally a walking zombie.

01:13:20.000 He was not an awake and cognizant human being. 0.95

01:13:23.000 He was a zombie the whole time.

01:13:24.000 Fair enough.

01:13:25.000 Did you see that Joe Biden got signed to a Hollywood talent agency?

01:13:28.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:13:29.000 Unreal.

01:13:30.000 Joe Manchin was apparently through the same company.

01:13:33.000 I was like, Joe Manchin has an agent as an agency?

01:13:36.000 That's amazing.

01:13:36.000 Yeah, well, Jill and Hunter have been CIA clients the whole time.

01:13:41.000 Amazing.

01:13:41.000 Yeah.

01:13:42.000 Hunter for his part in books.

01:13:43.000 He needs to make the books.

01:13:45.000 He wants to make the Weekend at Bernie's movie.

01:13:48.000 That's what I said.

01:13:49.000 I was hoping he was going to get cast for a film or something.

01:13:52.000 Weekend at Biden's and he can actually play himself.

01:13:54.000 We should make that.

01:13:56.000 Number three.

01:13:57.000 I'm pretty sure someone's already made the skit of that.

01:13:59.000 Yeah, it has.

01:14:00.000 But if he actually did it, he could actually rehab his image a little bit if he leaned into it and just went and made a movie where he's just a corpse.

01:14:07.000 He could play Mr. House if they did a Fallout New Vegas movie.

01:14:11.000 For those that don't know what that is, it's...

01:14:15.000 So Fallout, of course, takes place like 200 years after a nuclear war wipes out the world.

01:14:19.000 And Mr. House is a rich guy in Vegas who strapped himself to a machine so that he could – and he's like a decaying corpse strapped to a computer and he can't move.

01:14:27.000 But the computer talks for him and he's like, I will live forever.

01:14:30.000 That would be perfect.

01:14:30.000 You know, I like the idea that Joe Biden's actually – he's just going to stay that age for the next 200 years.

01:14:36.000 He's like, the joke's on you guys.

01:14:37.000 The CIA gave me the super drugs and I'm just going to be here.

01:14:40.000 There's a name for that super drug.

01:14:42.000 Yeah.

01:14:42.000 It's called NAD. Yes.

01:14:44.000 Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide.

01:14:46.000 Available at your local hydration therapist.

01:14:50.000 Yeah, I don't know, man.

01:14:51.000 All I know is that the Super Bowl is an excuse to have a party.

01:14:54.000 Yeah.

01:14:54.000 And so I don't think anybody is actually going to boycott it.

01:14:57.000 We're not.

01:14:58.000 I would kind of like to as an FU, but like...

01:15:02.000 Dude, nobody's boycotting the Super Bowl.

01:15:04.000 Look, sporting events used to...

01:15:05.000 So a lot of people in the political space will have the conversation about how politics...

01:15:09.000 I'm sorry, that sports are used to distract people from what's really going on.

01:15:14.000 But in a lot of ways, despite the team sport mentality that a lot of people have, sporting events were unifiers.

01:15:20.000 And there were ways that people commiserated and came together in times of bad and good in a country.

01:15:25.000 And that can't always be a bad thing.

01:15:27.000 thing now you can say that being too involved in sports or things like that and not caring about what's going on if you don't know who your your local congressman is and stuff like that sure but in general when the country is extremely polarized you should be looking for things that bring people together and for a lot of people you know the idea that you played sports growing up you went on to watch sports and you really really get along with others who enjoyed as well that's not a bad thing

01:15:51.000 i'd really like if we stopped caring so much about the personal lives and private lives and day-to-day lives of the politicians at all i want them to really scale down the government and get to a place where it works uh properly that we don't even have to talk about it that we just know that it's happened

01:16:05.000 Well, it's really important to know Whether they're interested in men or women.

01:16:22.000 It's a big component of modern woke sporting and creative works to make sure that the person you're watching on camera, do they like guys or do they like ladies?

01:16:35.000 They want to make sure everybody knows the proclivities of these individuals.

01:16:40.000 And I'm like, yo, I literally don't care.

01:16:42.000 I don't care at all.

01:16:43.000 When I watch Captain America...

01:16:46.000 I don't sit there and think, wow, Chris Evans is a really great patriot who wants to join the army. 1.00

01:16:50.000 I'm like, he's an actor and he's probably dumb. 0.98

01:16:54.000 Like, I'm not trying to be a dick to Chris Evans. 0.98

01:16:56.000 I just mean, like, the assumption that people...

01:16:58.000 I watch an actor or a musician, I don't know or care about their personal lives.

01:17:02.000 I'm not going to ask.

01:17:04.000 It's whatever. 0.81

01:17:04.000 It's never bothered me to look at an actor who I know is absolutely insane politically. 0.81

01:17:09.000 I can still watch all the movies that they make.

01:17:11.000 Not only that, like, there are people that are musicians that are...

01:17:15.000 That I find their politics absolutely detestable, but I still like their music.

01:17:21.000 Rage Against the Machine is one of the ones that comes to mind.

01:17:24.000 They're straight up, there's commies in the band, but I like their music. 0.97

01:17:29.000 I've always liked their music, even though they're garbage commies. 0.99

01:17:32.000 Let's jump to this next story from The Telegraph, taking the world by storm. 0.97

01:17:36.000 Oh, I thought this was fake.

01:17:37.000 Lego can be anti-LGBT, says Science Museum.

01:17:43.000 Institution's Seeing Thing Queerly Tour claims people think the toy bricks are gendered and reinforces the idea of heterosexuality is the norm.

01:17:52.000 I'd like to pause and just state all the Legos are male.

01:17:59.000 That's it.

01:18:00.000 They all got doodads that stick into doodads. 0.96

01:18:03.000 You know what I'm saying?

01:18:04.000 It's true.

01:18:04.000 Does that make them all hermaphroditic because technically they have both?

01:18:08.000 No.

01:18:09.000 It's because the doodad sticks into the rear of the other block.

01:18:13.000 You had to know where that was going.

01:18:14.000 But wasn't it the Legos that got rid of the cop Legos and all the Legos during the whole thing when they were trying to be politically correct during Black Lives Matter? 0.90

01:18:23.000 Now they've turned on the Legos.

01:18:25.000 They were all proud of them when they got rid of all the cop Legos.

01:18:29.000 I do love how you get an analysis from the same website.

01:18:33.000 Now not even Legos, say, from today's gender-obsessed loonies. 1.00

01:18:37.000 Apparently the Danish plastic bricks adds weight to the heteronormative notion that there are only two sexes.

01:18:42.000 There are only two sexes. 0.99

01:18:50.000 Here's the problem, though.

01:18:52.000 This is funny and all, and we can all laugh at this, but the problem is there's probably some study that's being funded by the USA overseas that is going to put this out as a report for people to read, not realizing that it was your tax dollars that paid for it.

01:19:04.000 Oh, it's a science museum.

01:19:06.000 They say that people describe Lego bricks as having male and female parts that are made to mate with each other.

01:19:11.000 Did you ever go to a market and you're buying, if you're buying electrical components, and this is really true.

01:19:21.000 Phil, you know this.

01:19:22.000 You go to a guitar center or something, and you need to get adapters or plugs for some instruments, and when you're buying a quarter-inch cable, what...

01:19:32.000 They are male and female ends. 0.98

01:19:36.000 That is just the way nature intended it.

01:19:39.000 And when we built the cables?

01:19:41.000 What?

01:19:42.000 When we created the quarter-inch cables, nature intended us.

01:19:46.000 Yes.

01:19:46.000 So I have an amp behind me.

01:19:48.000 And you take the cable and you stick it in the hole.

01:19:51.000 Yes.

01:19:52.000 And that's why there are male and female parts. 0.99

01:19:56.000 So when you're buying cables, like XLR for instance.

01:20:01.000 Like, it's pretty important to know if you're going to have a male or female, you know, ends or whatever, or especially if you're getting extensions, adapters, and things like that.

01:20:09.000 There's male and female.

01:20:11.000 If you get male and you need female, or you get female and you need male, you're going to have a bad time.

01:20:17.000 But that means that Guitar Center is anti-LGBTQ. Thank you, Guitar Center.

01:20:21.000 Remember when they stopped putting master bedroom on listings for apartments and homes?

01:20:27.000 Now it's primary.

01:20:28.000 Primary bedroom.

01:20:30.000 And computer components as well.

01:20:32.000 Yeah, in coding.

01:20:34.000 They had Master and Slave and they were like, nah, not anymore.

01:20:37.000 Or Slave I in Star Wars.

01:20:39.000 Can't do that anymore either.

01:20:40.000 What was that about?

01:20:41.000 That was Boba Fett's...

01:20:43.000 The name of his spaceship was Slave I. Now what is it?

01:20:46.000 I don't even remember.

01:20:47.000 Slave I? Slave.

01:20:49.000 I know.

01:20:50.000 I don't know how it's slave.

01:20:50.000 Probably.

01:20:51.000 I don't know.

01:20:51.000 Probably Slave I. Yeah, that sounds like it.

01:20:55.000 Nobody watched Boba Fett though, so it doesn't matter.

01:20:57.000 We need to start making...

01:20:59.000 Making content that is just overtly the other direction.

01:21:04.000 Actually, I was thinking about this.

01:21:07.000 Have you played Marvel Rivals?

01:21:08.000 Now it's referred to as the fire spray gunship.

01:21:13.000 It is Slave I. Have you played Marvel Rivals?

01:21:17.000 No, I have not.

01:21:18.000 I noticed it's hot.

01:21:20.000 People love this game.

01:21:22.000 Overwatch is done.

01:21:23.000 Marvel Rivals gameplay is through the roof.

01:21:26.000 At any given moment, 500,000 people are actively playing. 0.99

01:21:29.000 And in the game, if anyone's seen it, the dudes are all insanely jacked and the women are all hourglass with big butts and big boobs. 1.00

01:21:38.000 And I'm like, alright. 0.99

01:21:39.000 And then a bunch of woke people got mad because they were like, why can't I make Spider-Man a woman?

01:21:45.000 Like, why can't I have girl Spider-Man? 0.95

01:21:47.000 Like, we should be able to gender... 0.93

01:21:48.000 Like, the woke people were complaining that you couldn't make male and gender-swapped versions of the characters.

01:21:52.000 Is that like why they talk about getting rid of male and female and making it body type A and body type B? Oh, that is so cringe.

01:21:58.000 Oh, did you guys hear that Dragon Age flopped?

01:22:04.000 Yeah, Veilguard, right?

01:22:05.000 Veilguard.

01:22:05.000 So, you don't gotta worry.

01:22:07.000 I won't get too esoteric for you, Mel.

01:22:09.000 This is a video game where, when it was being promoted...

01:22:12.000 A viral scene from the game showed characters.

01:22:16.000 They were talking.

01:22:17.000 And then one of the characters referred to a deity as she.

01:22:20.000 And then went, oh, oops.

01:22:22.000 I just referred to a non-binary deity as she.

01:22:25.000 And then she goes, I gotta go pull a barv.

01:22:27.000 And then she starts doing push-ups. 1.00

01:22:29.000 And they're like, what are you doing?

01:22:30.000 And then it's like 10 minutes of explaining that if you misgender someone, you need to do push-ups.

01:22:34.000 Because it proves that you're like reconciling for the slight.

01:22:40.000 But to your point about making content the opposite way, I'm actually the opposite.

01:22:45.000 When I see content that goes the opposite way, whether it's right, I just can't stand it.

01:22:51.000 No, I'm saying overt and over the top.

01:22:55.000 Not something where it's like, we're going to wave American flags instead.

01:22:58.000 I'm saying mockery to the extreme, where all the guys are like seven foot tall, just...

01:23:05.000 It's like Arnold.

01:23:06.000 Everybody is Arnold.

01:23:06.000 They're all just super ripped.

01:23:08.000 No Timothee Chalamet is here.

01:23:09.000 No Timothee Chalamet.

01:23:11.000 Everyone's Alan Ritson.

01:23:12.000 See, the thing is, what you're referring to, Brett, is the uncanny valley of the other direction, right?

01:23:19.000 So it's like, here's your spectrum of the, like, preaching is annoying, and then, like, the movie's just bad because it's overtly woke.

01:23:26.000 Right.

01:23:26.000 If you're going to go the other way, so imagine this.

01:23:29.000 If a movie was so woke it was funny, then it's good.

01:23:33.000 Well, yeah.

01:23:34.000 And so the same thing has to be if you're going to make it in the direction.

01:23:36.000 You can't just be like, yeah, well, what if we have conservatives? 0.99

01:23:38.000 Like, nah, that's dumb. 0.99

01:23:39.000 But what if it's insane and hilarious? 0.96

01:23:42.000 Well, like, some movies are so bad it's good.

01:23:44.000 I still think that Madame Web was actually hilarious because it was so bad. 1.00

01:23:49.000 What is a woke movie that's good and funny that you can think of?

01:23:53.000 Okay, so The Craft.

01:23:55.000 Is so woke and bad.

01:23:58.000 The new one.

01:23:58.000 I didn't see the new one, only the old one.

01:24:00.000 It's like, you are laughing like crazy.

01:24:03.000 That's good.

01:24:03.000 So it's like these four girls, one of them is trans, is actually a boy, and that's a part of the story.

01:24:09.000 They break into a bully's house and use magic to make him gay. 0.98

01:24:13.000 Oh, wow. 1.00

01:24:13.000 Oh my god. 1.00

01:24:14.000 That's nothing like the old craft.

01:24:16.000 It's like, it's just, you're laughing the whole time and face palming.

01:24:19.000 It's so bad.

01:24:19.000 And then at the end, David Duchovny is like, I am the patriarch and I'm going to steal your magic.

01:24:24.000 And then they like, light him on fire or something.

01:24:26.000 Such a perfect role for David Duchovny too.

01:24:28.000 Yeah, it's so bad.

01:24:29.000 It's a good, it's, it's, it's not that it's good.

01:24:30.000 It's that it's laughably bad.

01:24:32.000 And so you can enjoy how miserable it is.

01:24:34.000 I can't make it through those ones, man.

01:24:36.000 I can't.

01:24:36.000 Like, I can't.

01:24:37.000 Have you seen Spiral?

01:24:38.000 No.

01:24:39.000 Oh, the one with Chris Rock.

01:24:40.000 No, I don't, I don't think so.

01:24:43.000 Spiral is a shutter film about an interracial gay couple with an adoptive daughter.

01:24:49.000 I think adoptive daughter.

01:24:50.000 And they move into this house in a neighborhood where they live next to a waspy white family. 1.00

01:24:54.000 And then the waspy white family is trying to kill them. 0.99

01:24:57.000 And they were like, we're immortal. 0.99

01:24:59.000 And we white people live forever by sacrificing people. 0.62

01:25:02.000 And then the interracial gay couple is like, but why us? 0.98

01:25:06.000 And he goes, because no one cares if an interracial gay couple dies. 0.88

01:25:10.000 Oh my.

01:25:11.000 It's like, oh, come on, dude.

01:25:13.000 And then the spiral is how they keep moving minority families of various types into this house because when they sacrifice them for immortality, nobody cares. 1.00

01:25:23.000 So there's no white flight. 0.77

01:25:25.000 Everybody moves in there.

01:25:26.000 Yeah, basically what they do is they rent the house out or whatever to various minority families, sacrifice them for immortality, and then their point is that when the minority family goes missing, nobody comes looking for them. 0.99

01:25:40.000 That's ridiculous. 0.62

01:25:42.000 I can't even believe that. 0.98

01:25:43.000 I don't have the patience, my friend.

01:25:44.000 Yeah, I watched the movie recently.

01:25:46.000 I can't remember what it was, but I was like, how much do you want to bet that the black female character is going to make it a point to say, like, everybody's racist or something?

01:25:55.000 Oh, oh, oh!

01:25:56.000 Maybe you know this one.

01:25:57.000 They go to an island where they get their memories erased.

01:25:59.000 Yeah.

01:26:00.000 Blink twice?

01:26:01.000 Yes!

01:26:01.000 Yeah.

01:26:02.000 And I was like...

01:26:03.000 It's like Epstein Island. 0.72

01:26:04.000 Yeah, so it's basically like a bunch of dudes. 0.99

01:26:07.000 They use this perfume to erase the memories of women after they rape them. 1.00

01:26:10.000 And so they can just keep abusing them. 1.00

01:26:12.000 And the main character is this black woman. 1.00

01:26:15.000 And I was like, I got a feeling.

01:26:18.000 They're going to inject some kind of weird race BLM thing into the plot. 0.94

01:26:21.000 Sure enough, instead of calling the police when they had a chance, she goes, starts yelling about how the cops won't listen to a black woman and that the white people will get away with it. 1.00

01:26:29.000 So that's why we can't have the police.

01:26:31.000 And I was like, so you're filling in your plot hole by just calling it racism?

01:26:36.000 And she was like, the white people never get held accountable.

01:26:39.000 The police won't listen to women. 1.00

01:26:40.000 Why won't they believe women? 1.00

01:26:42.000 And I'm like, ugh.

01:26:43.000 Yeah.

01:26:44.000 Because they're women. 1.00

01:26:45.000 It was a bad turn in that movie.

01:26:46.000 But, I mean, that movie was pretty, I mean, especially because it was done by, I guess, Lenny Kravitz's daughter and Lisa Bonet's daughter that they made that movie.

01:26:55.000 Oh, Zoe Kravitz made that one. 1.00

01:26:56.000 Yeah, because she was the director.

01:26:58.000 Because, you know, I mean, that's pretty much what people say happened on Epstein Island.

01:27:03.000 So it was a little bit freaked out.

01:27:04.000 What, that it was drugging people to erase their memories?

01:27:06.000 Yeah, well, maybe.

01:27:07.000 I don't know.

01:27:08.000 That's what people were saying.

01:27:10.000 The end of the movie is that she erases the white billionaire's memory and then marries him.

01:27:15.000 Becomes the CEO. Yeah, and then he's basically in a state of mental retardation because she keeps wiping his memory. 0.99

01:27:20.000 He's like...

01:27:21.000 That's Cardi B, right?

01:27:23.000 Could have made a new Men in Black with that. 0.71

01:27:27.000 Yeah.

01:27:28.000 They were trying to do a Men in Black universe.

01:27:31.000 Yeah.

01:27:31.000 Man, I don't know.

01:27:32.000 I feel like...

01:27:33.000 What was it?

01:27:34.000 They kept trying to cross it over with 21 Jump Street?

01:27:37.000 What's up with...

01:27:37.000 You know what I think it is?

01:27:38.000 I think TikTok is largely...

01:27:41.000 Not only TikTok, but Instagram, too, is why we have cultural stagnation.

01:27:45.000 We used to have good movies, big movies, but now people aren't centered on singular ideas and topics and themes.

01:27:53.000 They're just swipe, swipe, swipe.

01:27:54.000 Like, for me, right now, the only thing I watch are pizza videos.

01:27:58.000 Literally, Dave Portnoy telling me which pizzas are good, are the best videos ever, I will fight you.

01:28:05.000 It's just, Dave, he's nailed it.

01:28:07.000 I'm like, I'm watching a video from ten years ago of him being like, this pizza's so good!

01:28:10.000 One bite, and then he bites it five times.

01:28:12.000 He likes the great, like, he likes the best style of pizza, too, in my opinion.

01:28:15.000 Fit and crispy?

01:28:16.000 Yeah.

01:28:16.000 No flop?

01:28:17.000 No flop.

01:28:18.000 And Doe Tully. 0.54

01:28:19.000 Do you know Doe Tully?

01:28:20.000 I thought I was the one who told you about him ages ago.

01:28:22.000 Yeah, he's probably my favorite person to follow on Instagram.

01:28:24.000 If you're looking for somebody to inspire you, this is the guy.

01:28:27.000 He's like, I'm going to stuff buffalo chicken wings in a pizza crust.

01:28:30.000 And I'm like, this is the greatest content I've ever made.

01:28:33.000 He's got a brother, too, who also has a channel.

01:28:35.000 They both make pizza.

01:28:37.000 His videos are great.

01:28:38.000 And I'm just like, no one's going to make a movie based on this stuff.

01:28:42.000 I mean, someday there should be a version of, like, Rudy, but with Dottoli becoming famous, making pizzas rather than football.

01:28:49.000 Dude, I just gotta tell you, all these videos where they, like, have a fresh-baked pizza, and then they just lift it up, I could watch those non-stop, and then today I was like, let's go get pizza, and then we did.

01:28:58.000 I was like, I must.

01:29:00.000 It's a good day.

01:29:01.000 Yeah.

01:29:02.000 And then we ordered a bunch of Lou Malnati's.

01:29:04.000 One cup of cheese, the second cup of cheese.

01:29:08.000 But my point is, like...

01:29:10.000 Everybody's watching something different.

01:29:12.000 So when they try making movies, there's no cultural cohesion around those ideas.

01:29:18.000 That's why it's all centered around IP now, because all of these companies have farmed out and bought up all of the IP, which is why next summer you have, in just July, you have Superman, Jurassic Park, and Fantastic Four within three weeks of each other.

01:29:31.000 Jeez.

01:29:32.000 In one month.

01:29:33.000 They're just making the same movies over and over and over again.

01:29:36.000 It's kind of wild.

01:29:37.000 I love it.

01:29:38.000 You know what's kind of crazy to me?

01:29:40.000 I was listening to Blue Monday by Orgy.

01:29:43.000 You guys know that one?

01:29:45.000 1990s.

01:29:46.000 Like, 94, I think.

01:29:47.000 That song came out like nine years after the original Blue Monday.

01:29:50.000 I think.

01:29:51.000 When was the original Blue Monday?

01:29:52.000 It was like not even a decade.

01:29:54.000 And I'm like, back in the day, they would do modern covers ten years later.

01:29:59.000 And now I'm like, nobody will even, like, nobody's doing, like, there's not big covers, sort of.

01:30:06.000 There's been a couple that have been big.

01:30:09.000 Now it's like, bro, there's 30-year-old songs people don't cover and they were massive and they were huge.

01:30:14.000 And I'm like, we used to have all of this stuff.

01:30:17.000 Now it's just, I don't know, everything's disparate and fractured.

01:30:20.000 When it comes to movies, for instance, they're making Jurassic World Rebirth and it's being made by Gareth Edwards.

01:30:26.000 Gareth Edwards did Rogue One.

01:30:28.000 He also did a movie that I really liked from two years ago called The Creator with Denzel Washington's son.

01:30:34.000 And the reason why it matters that it's IP is that the movie he made a couple of years ago, which I think is beautifully shot, $80 million they spent on it, and it looks like it cost $250 million to make.

01:30:44.000 But nobody went to see it because it wasn't based on any original IP that anybody actually knew.

01:30:48.000 But are people going to go see a Gareth Edwards movie about Star Wars or about Jurassic World?

01:30:52.000 Probably.

01:30:53.000 They'll at least make it.

01:30:54.000 Well, that's why they did Joker, which was basically Taxi Driver.

01:30:57.000 This is what was crazy to me, is I was thinking about Spider-Man, and I'm just like...

01:31:03.000 Yo, they do a new Spider-Man every, like, three years.

01:31:06.000 For 30 years.

01:31:08.000 The guy who wrote the new Jurassic World movie, so he also did the screenplay for the original Jurassic Park and the 2002 Spider-Man.

01:31:18.000 Isn't Tom Holland, like, 30?

01:31:21.000 Yeah, roughly around that.

01:31:22.000 And he's playing a 16-year-old.

01:31:23.000 No, I mean, he's going into college now.

01:31:26.000 He'll be...

01:31:26.000 18-year-old.

01:31:28.000 19, 20. I mean, back in the 80s and the 90s, all the kids in high school were played by 30-year-olds.

01:31:34.000 Isn't it crazy that they would make a Spider-Man movie every three years?

01:31:39.000 Well, they have to do that.

01:31:40.000 It was part of holding on to the rights.

01:31:42.000 No, I know.

01:31:42.000 It's like, bro, I don't want to watch Spider-Man anymore.

01:31:45.000 And that's why when they did the new one, they were like, we're not going to do an origin story.

01:31:49.000 Because it's just...

01:31:50.000 Come on, we can't keep doing this.

01:31:52.000 Well, and they've also got the animated ones coming out, the Across the Side diverse ones as well.

01:31:56.000 Not my animation style.

01:31:58.000 Well, I mean, that's not even, that's Sony proper, whereas Marvel is doing the...

01:32:03.000 Oh, I know.

01:32:03.000 I'm just saying Madam Web.

01:32:04.000 Wow.

01:32:05.000 You know, I liked Kraven.

01:32:10.000 But it's just so weird.

01:32:11.000 They're doing these Spider-Man with no Spider-Man movies.

01:32:14.000 Which is funny, too, because they found out later they are allowed to use Spider-Man in there, and people just assumed that they weren't allowed to use them.

01:32:19.000 Otherwise, why would they do that?

01:32:20.000 They're like, people will be confused, and that's underselling your audience a bit, but I think it wouldn't matter anyways.

01:32:26.000 Do you think there's ever going to be a return to theaters for movies that the whole country goes to see?

01:32:32.000 Well, we did.

01:32:32.000 Top Gun Maverick did that.

01:32:34.000 Yeah, and...

01:32:36.000 Yeah, Top Gun Maverick was huge.

01:32:38.000 Yeah.

01:32:38.000 If you're talking about one, even that's still IP, technically, because it's based on a movie from 30 years ago.

01:32:42.000 And that's why.

01:32:44.000 This is the crazy thing.

01:32:45.000 Let me tell you, we were hanging out at a bar, this is like six months ago, and I went to the jukebox, and it was playing some song.

01:32:52.000 I had no idea.

01:32:55.000 Just...

01:32:55.000 And I'm like, I don't know what this is.

01:32:57.000 And I saw some people dancing and some people weren't.

01:32:59.000 I put on Bohemian Rhapsody.

01:33:00.000 The entire bar started singing.

01:33:02.000 There you go.

01:33:03.000 The next song came on.

01:33:04.000 Two or three people are dancing and I'm like...

01:33:06.000 People walked over to the jukebox, put on modern music, and it was just...

01:33:09.000 Nobody was unified.

01:33:10.000 But if you go back in time, I can put on a song like Bohemian Rhapsody and...

01:33:15.000 Everybody was singing it.

01:33:16.000 Yeah, because I watched Wayne's World recently.

01:33:18.000 It's not that.

01:33:19.000 It's that back in the day when a movie came out, we would all go see the one movie.

01:33:24.000 Right.

01:33:24.000 And so we had a shared culture.

01:33:26.000 You don't have that anymore because streaming has made it so disparate that there's 50,000 things being made at any given time and all these companies are leveraged trying to put out stuff constantly.

01:33:34.000 But this is why they make these woke movies.

01:33:36.000 So when I worked at Fusion, the editorial team, this is 10 years ago, said the new media wave is going to be mission-driven storytelling.

01:33:44.000 So we need to adopt a stance on these issues and promote it.

01:33:48.000 Right, that's exactly what happened.

01:33:50.000 And it happened in the early 2000s with all these different programs that they were rushing people through if they were for the lesbian filmmakers or for the black filmmakers or for whatever different group, the women filmmakers.

01:34:03.000 You mean like the subsidies they would get at these companies or like the programs to push through new artists?

01:34:09.000 Yes, programs that were just based on segregating people into different groups and then having them go through a program at AFI. Isn't that how...

01:34:21.000 Donald Glover got discovered.

01:34:23.000 He's like one of those examples of somebody who was a hire like that where he got brought in on one of these onboarding programs.

01:34:28.000 He turned out to be really, really good, but the majority of them just don't end up.

01:34:32.000 Yeah, all the networks started doing it.

01:34:33.000 Disney, NBC, they had like the comedy, women comedy writers, you know, LGBT comedy writers, and they were all separating them all, and then you'd go into meetings and they'd say, can you fit this in?

01:34:44.000 It's what he's saying.

01:34:45.000 It's saying mission-driven, you know, but I think it's all been the original.

01:34:50.000 Gore movie, The Inconvenient Truth, I think that that was the beginning of the full-on brainwashing of Hollywood, and they've never gotten out of it.

01:34:58.000 Well, I mean, Fahrenheit 9-11.

01:35:01.000 Even the success of Michael Moore.

01:35:03.000 Right.

01:35:04.000 Yep.

01:35:05.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:35:07.000 I mean, you're seeing a little bit of a push away from it now in a lot of ways.

01:35:10.000 They don't have the money, especially post-Writer's Strike in 2023. They don't have the money to just risk it anymore.

01:35:17.000 They also stopped caring about talent and earning it.

01:35:19.000 There was a time when you worked as a PA for $100 for 18 hours a day.

01:35:25.000 You worked for three months.

01:35:26.000 You jumped to the next movie, and it took 10 years to get in the DGA. Now you can put a couple boxes, take a quick class.

01:35:32.000 You're in there.

01:35:33.000 Next thing you know, they're looking for the right person.

01:35:37.000 It's just talent has been sold out.

01:35:39.000 I kind of think that there's going to be, or at least there has to be, a total cultural collapse.

01:35:43.000 I agree.

01:35:45.000 I'll give you an example.

01:35:46.000 It's a bit esoteric, but Magic the Gathering, which is arguably one of the most popular card games in the world.

01:35:52.000 They're talking about making a movie about it.

01:35:53.000 So that's the degree that it's at.

01:35:55.000 The latest set that is coming out is called Aether Drift.

01:35:59.000 Okay, let me explain something to you guys.

01:36:01.000 You don't have to care about this.

01:36:03.000 Just let me explain it.

01:36:04.000 Magic the Gathering.

01:36:06.000 The storyline is that there are powerful wizards who have the ability to transport between dimensions.

01:36:13.000 The theme of the game is very much fantasy-based, goblins, orcs, etc.

01:36:17.000 And then they've made various sets with vampires and werewolves, and it's very much themed in different magics.

01:36:25.000 The latest set coming out...

01:36:27.000 Is that all of the great wizards of the multiverse are going for a race!

01:36:30.000 And they're going to get race cars and motorcycles!

01:36:33.000 And they're going to race to try and get the Aether Spark!

01:36:36.000 And I'm just like, wow!

01:36:40.000 Jumping the shark!

01:36:41.000 And I understand that's just something that I'm paying attention to.

01:36:47.000 But then I see, like, Dragon Age and Veilguard.

01:36:50.000 And it flops.

01:36:52.000 And I see, like...

01:36:54.000 Marvel Rivals is dominating, and it's literally just regurgitating the same IP that's almost 100 years old at this point.

01:37:01.000 And I'm like, sooner or later the bubble's gonna burst.

01:37:05.000 There's nothing left to do.

01:37:07.000 Spider-Man's had an origin 800,000 times.

01:37:10.000 There's Earth 616, Earth 999, Earth 10101. How many Earths are there in these universes?

01:37:17.000 Well, I saw not too long ago, I think it was Martin Scorsese, he was in an interview, he was in his 80s, and he was talking about movies now, and if he would make movies, start making movies, if he was young, now, again, and he was kind of talking about how, like, all the deep movies that we grew up with, like Terms of Endearment, or Apocalypse Now, or, you know, any of those movies, great movies, Godfather, that they don't make movies like that anymore, that move you from the inside.

01:37:43.000 The life experience of the filmmakers of that time, especially if we're...

01:37:47.000 We can go farther back than that.

01:37:48.000 You know, ones who were in selective service and were in the military and came through in times of war, brought about great storytelling.

01:37:55.000 Now, most everybody kind of grows up with a universally homogenous experience because of the internet.

01:38:01.000 And people are, the way I always equate it back to is like, screenwriters of the past read great literature.

01:38:08.000 Screenwriters of today watch movies and try to recreate what they saw with their own identity.

01:38:13.000 He was also saying all of the heroes now are superheroes.

01:38:16.000 There's not these men or women, like real people, that rise up and become heroes anymore in movies.

01:38:24.000 All the movies with heroes, they're all Marvel or DC Comics.

01:38:28.000 There's not like the story of the person overcoming and becoming a Rocky.

01:38:33.000 You know?

01:38:34.000 Yeah.

01:38:35.000 I mean, I get that- The hero, like the hero's journey, we're not seeing normal people become extraordinary Hollywood is admitted to being against telling the story of the hero's journey now, because it's a uniquely male story, which they can't do.

01:38:49.000 It's one of the reasons why female storytelling doesn't work with the hero's journey, because it doesn't work. 1.00

01:38:54.000 I do love how they tried doing a female hero's journey with Brie Larson and Captain Marvel.

01:38:58.000 And so it's like, the hero's journey...

01:39:02.000 Captain America very much did that in a lot of ways.

01:39:05.000 Thrusted in action.

01:39:06.000 Jumped on the grenade.

01:39:07.000 Yeah, all that stuff.

01:39:08.000 And then they were like...

01:39:09.000 They tried to do a female-centric storyline with Captain Marvel.

01:39:14.000 And the problem is female-centrism doesn't involve jumping on grenades the way male... 1.00

01:39:19.000 Like the male power fantasy is that you jump on the grenade to save the women and the children.

01:39:23.000 Right.

01:39:24.000 It's not the same motivation that women have. 1.00

01:39:25.000 So I think Wonder Woman did a good job. 0.98

01:39:27.000 But they made Captain Marvel.

01:39:29.000 And...

01:39:29.000 The storyline is that her power is being suppressed by a man.

01:39:33.000 Yeah, she's got a chip on her neck. 1.00

01:39:35.000 And he keeps telling her to control her emotions because she's too emotional.

01:39:39.000 I'm not kidding.

01:39:40.000 And then in the end, she finally overcomes the commands of the patriarch, breaks the device on her neck, and then blasts him, knocking him out.

01:39:48.000 And that was supposed to be the female power fantasy. 0.99

01:39:51.000 And I'm like, well, I guess it wasn't because people watched the movie and then nobody went to see the sequel.

01:39:58.000 And the problem is that movies that appeal to men and women, when it's that type of movie, whether it's superheroes or spies, both men and women enjoy those stories for vastly different reasons.

01:40:10.000 The reason women go to see superhero movies is to see men be competent at what they're doing and save the day. 0.99

01:40:16.000 And the reason men go is because they want to imagine that they could be that person.

01:40:20.000 Lisa was telling me that all they really need to do is get a chiseled dude to chop lumber with no shirt on, and women will go see the movie. 1.00

01:40:28.000 Well, the last James Bond was very disappointing as a woman. 1.00

01:40:31.000 That was the other example I was going to give. 0.93

01:40:32.000 I thought they made him into a loser.

01:40:34.000 That was the other example I was going to give, was James Bond is a unique example of that, as somebody where they try to get rid of the womanizing aspect of the character.

01:40:41.000 But the point is, women know, men love it because men want to be him.

01:40:46.000 Women love it because they're like, you know, he's not a good person, maybe, but he believes in queen and country, and he's a bit dangerous.

01:40:53.000 Right, right.

01:40:54.000 We're going to go to Super Chats.

01:40:57.000 Smash the like button.

01:40:58.000 Share the show with everyone you know.

01:40:59.000 Head over to TimGuess.com.

01:41:00.000 Click join us.

01:41:00.000 Become a member.

01:41:01.000 And if you join for $1,000 a month, I'll give you my phone number.

01:41:05.000 Maybe they have to stay a member for three months to get the phone number.

01:41:09.000 You want to just give me?

01:41:10.000 I was like, what's going to happen is they're going to sign up for $1,000.

01:41:13.000 I'll give my number and they cancel right away.

01:41:14.000 But they gave me $1,000.

01:41:16.000 What do I care?

01:41:17.000 I never said I'd answer my phone.

01:41:20.000 I am kidding, but if you do join, you get access to the Discord server where there's this robust community with pre-shows, morning shows, after shows, a lot of really cool stuff happening, and a lot of plans.

01:41:29.000 A lot of plans.

01:41:30.000 We're working on a new show, developing the culture war.

01:41:34.000 The goal is to find a live venue, have a live debate in front of an audience, but the audience is only going to be our members.

01:41:42.000 Oh, wow.

01:41:43.000 So if you come to the door and you're like, I want to come and watch, you know, Phil debate Destiny.

01:41:49.000 Then it's members only.

01:41:51.000 It's like it's for TimCast members.

01:41:53.000 You can sign up right down on the spot.

01:41:54.000 If you're a member, you can come on in if tickets are available.

01:41:56.000 But here's the best part.

01:41:58.000 Members can submit their talking points on the core issue of the debate, and then we are going to invite people to join us at the table.

01:42:06.000 You get five minutes to debate your points, rebut, counter, etc.

01:42:11.000 And then we will debate with you for a few minutes, and then you'll get up.

01:42:15.000 Everyone will say, thank you for coming, and you'll go back and sit down, and we'll rotate someone else in.

01:42:19.000 So this is a way we can bring our members onto the show, bring in fresh ideas, members of the public, and create some real value in the community.

01:42:27.000 And I'm thinking that this is going to get a lot of people, like liberals, libertarians, conservatives, atheists, whatever, to come and join the conversation.

01:42:37.000 We keep trying to book these high-profile libs. 0.99

01:42:39.000 They won't do it.

01:42:40.000 So let's just go to a space where we're going to say, if you want to sit down at the table, all you got to do is you be a member, because that's basically what pays for the show.

01:42:46.000 If you're a member, tickets are free for members.

01:42:48.000 And then you get to come in, and we can only choose so many people, but you join in.

01:42:53.000 So I say, become a member if you haven't already.

01:42:56.000 I'm telling you right now, you're going to want to be a member right now.

01:42:59.000 Alright, here we go.

01:43:00.000 The Emperor's Champion says, 2026 is looking pretty good so far.

01:43:03.000 No more USA propaganda.

01:43:05.000 David Hogg, vice chairman of the DNC, and Dems are choosing to defend the indefensible.

01:43:10.000 Life is good, my friends.

01:43:11.000 Brucewitz, I think it was Brucewitz, tweeted, I can't believe we trolled the DNC into actually putting David Hogg in as vice chair.

01:43:20.000 Wow.

01:43:21.000 What were they thinking?

01:43:23.000 Nothing.

01:43:24.000 Unbelievable.

01:43:26.000 Yep.

01:43:28.000 Vought confirmed, this is from, just because I'm free, this is Vought confirmed as director of OMB. Now say it with me, afuera!

01:43:35.000 Let's go.

01:43:37.000 Let's get it.

01:43:39.000 Adaptive Outdoorsman Podcast says, Tim, congrats on the new wife and soon-to-be baby girl.

01:43:43.000 I have a baby girl due in late April.

01:43:45.000 Any tips on growing small podcasts like mine?

01:43:47.000 Thanks.

01:43:48.000 Work harder than everybody else.

01:43:50.000 That's really it.

01:43:52.000 Watch.

01:43:53.000 Read the comments to a certain degree.

01:43:56.000 It's difficult because some people comment lies to screw with you, but you really do need to figure out what you're doing wrong and how to improve.

01:44:04.000 That's a big component of it.

01:44:05.000 How can you always be better?

01:44:07.000 And then I would recommend reading and researching as much as you can and watching as much as you can.

01:44:12.000 Most of these things, people will be like, how to grow your podcast?

01:44:17.000 Click my video.

01:44:17.000 It's fake.

01:44:18.000 Totally fake.

01:44:19.000 There are companies that know how to do it.

01:44:21.000 Anybody who knows how to do it is going to charge you for it.

01:44:22.000 They're not going to make a free video on the internet.

01:44:25.000 Alright, let's get it.

01:44:28.000 Tuesday's shout says Politico is the outlet that leaked the Dobbs decision.

01:44:31.000 Indeed.

01:44:32.000 Yep.

01:44:33.000 Very interesting.

01:44:35.000 Vincent O'Rourke says, if this is what Trump can achieve in two weeks, I cannot wait to see what he achieves in two years.

01:44:40.000 He needs to move fast for the midterms, but if the public approve of his actions, he'll gain more seats.

01:44:46.000 Well, there's already a video where Jamie Raskin says, find me two Republicans and I'll get to work to impeach Donald Trump.

01:44:51.000 Yep.

01:44:54.000 Show Ian that video.

01:44:56.000 Where Jamie Raskin literally says, it's 218 and 215. If you can find me two Republicans, I'll get to work.

01:45:01.000 You'll get mad at me.

01:45:02.000 Yep.

01:45:03.000 He'll be like, stop saying that the thing they're saying that they want to do is going to happen.

01:45:06.000 Meanwhile, they all got pardoned.

01:45:08.000 Him and Adam Schiff won't be quiet.

01:45:09.000 Meanwhile, they're walking around pardoned for what?

01:45:12.000 You know, it's like...

01:45:14.000 You know, but the thing is, those pardons are weird because Trump could just go after them for something else.

01:45:20.000 Right.

01:45:21.000 Or pre-2014.

01:45:22.000 Yeah.

01:45:23.000 Like he didn't commit crimes before then.

01:45:28.000 Yeah.

01:45:28.000 It's about Ukraine, though.

01:45:29.000 All right.

01:45:31.000 Adam says, You know what...

01:45:43.000 The one thing that always kind of left me befuddled a little bit was when people say, like, yeah, well, one day you'll answer to God.

01:45:49.000 And I'm like, but that means alive right now on earth with us.

01:45:53.000 They're not answering for the crimes they're committing.

01:45:55.000 They must answer to men. 1.00

01:45:57.000 They will answer to God.

01:45:59.000 I agree with that.

01:46:00.000 But for the time being, they must answer to us.

01:46:03.000 There will be accountability.

01:46:05.000 It will be legitimate.

01:46:06.000 It will be legal.

01:46:07.000 There will be warrants and investigations.

01:46:09.000 It'll be by the book.

01:46:11.000 And if there are crimes committed, then people will go to jail.

01:46:14.000 I am more confident than ever that this will happen now because of the things Trump is doing in two weeks.

01:46:21.000 Trump ain't messing around.

01:46:22.000 Yeah, but they also have a lot of evidence that we've all seen.

01:46:25.000 They just have not taken action on it because we haven't had an attorney general to do that.

01:46:29.000 And now we do.

01:46:30.000 She's doing a lot already.

01:46:32.000 I guess she defunded the sanctuary cities and has a weaponization committee investigation and all of that. 0.96

01:46:40.000 Yeah, I think that it was – I just saw something about the – if you're a mayor or something of a sanctuary city and you're not.

01:46:48.000 Looking to help or you're looking to hinder, she's going to actually start looking into you.

01:46:52.000 Yeah.

01:46:53.000 And then the Democrats today came out and said they want to release all the Epstein files and why don't they just release everything?

01:47:00.000 I'm like, great.

01:47:01.000 Let's get started.

01:47:03.000 Shane H. Walters says the Libs in Austin are losing their minds over USAID. They are protesting weekdays at the Capitol and talking about protesting at the Tesla Gigafactory.

01:47:13.000 I don't know why people want to go to Austin.

01:47:15.000 Why would they be, why would they, I don't understand why anyone would rally around, against Doge.

01:47:21.000 I don't know, that's private property.

01:47:23.000 Arrest them all, get out of here.

01:47:24.000 But, you know, everybody keeps saying, like, go to Texas, go to Austin, and I'm like, the only thing that I can think of in Austin is the Lodge Card Club.

01:47:31.000 When I went to Austin, it was like L.A. It's woke.

01:47:34.000 It seems so L.A. to me.

01:47:36.000 It seemed like everyone left L.A. and went to Austin.

01:47:39.000 I don't know why.

01:47:40.000 That's what happened.

01:47:41.000 Yeah, seems it.

01:47:42.000 Joe Rogan did it.

01:47:45.000 All right, but now I guess Zuckerberg's doing it.

01:47:47.000 Oh, it is crazy, this story about a Delaware.

01:47:49.000 Tons of major corporations have fled Delaware after the Elon ruling.

01:47:53.000 This one judge was like, I am going to take away a private company's revenue structure, voted on by the shareholders twice.

01:48:00.000 And so tons of companies were like, holy crap, we're out.

01:48:02.000 And the governor is like, please don't leave.

01:48:04.000 And it's like...

01:48:06.000 You reap what you sow, dude.

01:48:07.000 How can you contemplate staying when you know that the courts are going to be politically motivated against people that have the wrong politics, right?

01:48:17.000 If Elon Musk's, if his agreement with his shareholders, which, again, what he had to do to make that kind of money was, no one thought it was possible.

01:48:34.000 Everyone was like, sure, we'll do it.

01:48:36.000 If you do this, we'll be super rich, but we don't think you're going to be able to do this because it was such a moonshot kind of idea.

01:48:44.000 And he did it.

01:48:46.000 And so the idea that a judge just can step in and say, no, we're going to go ahead and say you can't do this on behalf of a handful of...

01:48:56.000 It was one guy, wasn't it?

01:48:57.000 Was it one guy?

01:48:58.000 That may be.

01:48:59.000 But this keeps happening with judges.

01:49:01.000 Why are judges the only people that seem to be able to do whatever they want?

01:49:04.000 Not just the January 6th, all these D.C. judges, the judges in the Trump cases, the judge in this case, two judges today put a stop on Trump's deal with the buyout deal.

01:49:17.000 What would happen if Tesla was just like, yeah, we're paying Elon. 0.74

01:49:21.000 Like, judge, your order is meaningless.

01:49:24.000 I don't know.

01:49:24.000 People never try it.

01:49:25.000 Be sick.

01:49:27.000 I mean, I'm a Tesla shareholder.

01:49:29.000 I don't have that much, but I have a bit.

01:49:32.000 I voted for Elon to get his pay package because I know that it's going to increase the stock value, which makes me wealthier.

01:49:39.000 That's why I bought Tesla.

01:49:40.000 It's like I want the stock to go up.

01:49:41.000 Right.

01:49:43.000 I'm pissed.

01:49:45.000 Evil.

01:49:45.000 Evil, man.

01:49:47.000 All right, let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:49:49.000 Chris T says, will the Beanie Baby become the new Timcast mascot?

01:49:52.000 Absolutely not.

01:49:54.000 You will never see a picture of my child.

01:49:56.000 That's smart.

01:49:57.000 Very smart.

01:49:59.000 No one will ever see...

01:50:00.000 I see these people do this thing where they'll take a picture of their baby but smudge the face.

01:50:04.000 I'm like, I'm not doing that either.

01:50:05.000 What's the point of that?

01:50:07.000 Yeah, no pictures.

01:50:07.000 None.

01:50:08.000 Pictures can go to grandma and grandpa and family, but no pictures on the internet at all.

01:50:15.000 I still don't understand parents that put pictures of their kids on the internet.

01:50:19.000 It's so bizarre after all we know.

01:50:22.000 Iggy the Incubus says, Average USAID salary is $96,000.

01:50:26.000 Reducing the USAID as planned will save us $1,315,776,000 just from the cut salaries alone.

01:50:34.000 Sounds awesome.

01:50:35.000 I agree.

01:50:36.000 Exactly.

01:50:37.000 Agreed.

01:50:38.000 I think it's really funny.

01:50:39.000 There's a viral post.

01:50:41.000 Libs of Blue Sky posted it.

01:50:43.000 And they tried getting into the EPA building, and they were barred entry.

01:50:47.000 And his libs are like, what do you mean you can't enter a public building?

01:50:51.000 It's publicly owned!

01:50:52.000 And it's like, the J6ers have a question. 1.00

01:50:54.000 Exactly, exactly.

01:50:58.000 Let's see.

01:50:59.000 The Engaged View says, how is a $2,000 a year subscription to Politico any different than a $500 wrench for a Pentagon procurement contract?

01:51:06.000 It's not greed.

01:51:07.000 It's not any different at all.

01:51:08.000 No.

01:51:09.000 That's the game that everybody plays.

01:51:11.000 They're like, let's make a company that sells wrenches to the government $500 a pop.

01:51:15.000 It's a $1 wrench.

01:51:17.000 We make profit.

01:51:17.000 And they do it.

01:51:18.000 Because they're stealing your money.

01:51:23.000 Brutal.

01:51:24.000 And the Democrats are sitting there swearing up and down that this is unconstitutional and that it's actually an attack on democracy. 0.99

01:51:32.000 It's so ridiculous on its face. 0.91

01:51:35.000 And it blows my mind that there are people that will actually make these arguments. 0.99

01:51:38.000 They should be embarrassed.

01:51:40.000 When they say attack on democracy, all they're saying is on the status quo.

01:51:44.000 They don't want it to change.

01:51:45.000 They don't want any accountability.

01:51:47.000 They don't want audits.

01:51:49.000 But then they want all the money for their causes.

01:51:52.000 Again, the idea that you're going to audit...

01:51:56.000 The government and keep it accountable should be the least interesting, the least objectionable concept that you could possibly present. 0.98

01:52:06.000 The fact that there are Democrats literally standing on the steps outside of the Congress making a big deal about this is the strongest indication that they are corrupt as hell.

01:52:18.000 Especially that whole squad, which you have to imagine that the squad has really benefited from this entire program.

01:52:24.000 And it's almost all one-sided, too.

01:52:26.000 The Republicans aren't doing it.

01:52:29.000 Well, they're not making money off it.

01:52:30.000 Well, some are.

01:52:31.000 Some are.

01:52:31.000 It looks like, you know, especially the real Trump-hating Republicans.

01:52:35.000 Looks like Bill Kristol and all those people are all caught up in this.

01:52:37.000 Bill Kristol is not a Republican.

01:52:39.000 I know, but they, you know, their whole MO, Conway, all those people.

01:52:44.000 Is This Dom says the U.S. hasn't hit empire yet.

01:52:47.000 We are following the Roman Republic at the moment.

01:52:49.000 Baron Trump will be the first emperor.

01:52:51.000 Yeah, but it was like, what, 200 and something, 250 years of prosperity, wasn't it?

01:52:56.000 Until eventually everybody got mad.

01:53:03.000 I wish everyone was getting mad right now.

01:53:05.000 It wouldn't make sense if it wasn't left and right, Republican, Democrat, you're looking at these numbers thinking the people in Lahaina are living in tents and the people in, you know, Palisades can't go home and the people in East Palestine can't drink the water and nobody's doing anything about it.

01:53:22.000 But we'll funnel your money overseas.

01:53:24.000 Right.

01:53:25.000 All of it.

01:53:25.000 Everyone should be pissed.

01:53:27.000 Beat the Penguins Go says, Tim, look up the large amount of homes that were put up for sale in D.C. suburbs within the last week for over a million, especially Virginia.

01:53:35.000 I took a look.

01:53:36.000 I didn't see anything notable.

01:53:38.000 Yeah, you can search by time on Zillow, and it looked the same as Baltimore.

01:53:43.000 But maybe Baltimore is also affected.

01:53:45.000 I don't know.

01:53:46.000 I'll give it two weeks.

01:53:48.000 Christie says, the 250-year lifespan for empires was a bunch of cherry-picked BS and makes historians cry whenever it was brought up.

01:53:55.000 That proves it.

01:53:58.000 I mean, more the end of the empire signal is when Rubio went out and said that we're going into a multipolar world and everyone was like, what?

01:54:07.000 What's he saying?

01:54:08.000 Or he's not going to the G20? It's just, you know, we have to deal with the reality of the world.

01:54:13.000 Wait, Rubio said that?

01:54:13.000 Yeah.

01:54:14.000 Multipolar?

01:54:15.000 Yeah.

01:54:15.000 Wow.

01:54:16.000 He also said that he's not going to the G20. Yeah.

01:54:18.000 Yeah.

01:54:19.000 So they're dismantling the global...

01:54:22.000 Is that in Johannesburg?

01:54:24.000 Yeah.

01:54:26.000 I think the reason he's not going to the G20 is because of the situation in South Africa.

01:54:32.000 Yeah, I mean, that's what he's saying.

01:54:34.000 But, you know, the whole thing is a whole money laundering thing.

01:54:37.000 Oh, he said because of the treatment of the white farmers?

01:54:39.000 Yeah.

01:54:40.000 Wow.

01:54:42.000 I heard that that's all fake news and that it's all constitutional.

01:54:47.000 The president was asked about taking land and he says, but this is legal.

01:54:50.000 It's all legal.

01:54:51.000 They passed the law.

01:54:52.000 It's allowed.

01:54:53.000 Well, yeah.

01:54:55.000 If you have land, they can take it.

01:54:58.000 Charlie Alpha Echo says, great news.

01:54:59.000 John Schaefer of the heavy metal band Iced Earth got pardoned for J6. You should have him on the culture war. 1.00

01:55:04.000 I am a J6-er in your Discord and my case has also been dismissed.

01:55:08.000 All glory to God for setting me free.

01:55:10.000 Epic, bro.

01:55:11.000 James O'Keefe also had the Ashley Biden stuff dropped by the SDNY. Yep.

01:55:16.000 Yep.

01:55:16.000 Nice.

01:55:17.000 Wow, dude.

01:55:18.000 That's crazy.

01:55:19.000 It was totally weaponized.

01:55:21.000 I had on Enrique Torrio two days ago.

01:55:23.000 Did you?

01:55:23.000 I mean, he got 22 years.

01:55:25.000 He wasn't even in D.C. Unreal.

01:55:26.000 He thought he was going to die in there.

01:55:28.000 Wow.

01:55:28.000 And he was on his way to Mar-a-Lago.

01:55:30.000 So, I guess...

01:55:31.000 He says he's gonna run for office, huh?

01:55:32.000 He should.

01:55:33.000 I like him a lot.

01:55:34.000 What happened to them?

01:55:35.000 Because I was on a call with him the day before he was sentenced.

01:55:38.000 22 years for a seditious conspiracy.

01:55:40.000 He wasn't even in D.C. He really thought he was gonna die in there.

01:55:44.000 Brian Egan says, Speaking of movies that are so bad that it's good, the short film Kung Fury comes to mind.

01:55:50.000 The trailer...

01:55:51.000 So, here's the thing about Kung Fury.

01:55:53.000 The trailer was the film.

01:55:56.000 And then they raised money to do a half-an-hour version of it, and it did not work.

01:56:00.000 Do you remember Kung Fury?

01:56:01.000 You don't know Kung Fury?

01:56:03.000 Wow.

01:56:03.000 It was a trailer for a fake 80s style film that made no sense.

01:56:07.000 And the reason the trailer was funny because it goes like he finds Thor, then he's riding a dinosaur, and then he's fighting an arcade machine.

01:56:15.000 It made no sense.

01:56:16.000 But then they actually raised money and made a half an hour version that tried to connect the nonsense and you can't do it.

01:56:21.000 Oh, that's funny.

01:56:22.000 However, I will give a shout out to Kung Fu Hustle.

01:56:25.000 That's a real movie.

01:56:26.000 Have you guys seen that one?

01:56:28.000 You've not seen Kung Fu Hustle?

01:56:30.000 You're supposed to be the pop culture guy, bro.

01:56:33.000 You gotta watch.

01:56:34.000 Have you seen the film?

01:56:35.000 No.

01:56:36.000 Are you kidding me?

01:56:38.000 Kung Fu Hustle, no.

01:56:38.000 You've not seen Kung Fu Hustle?

01:56:40.000 That movie's so good.

01:56:43.000 That's such a good movie.

01:56:44.000 I don't know, probably 2008 or something.

01:56:46.000 What about Shaolin Soccer?

01:56:48.000 Yeah, see, Serge, he's based.

01:56:50.000 He knows what's going on.

01:56:51.000 It's our pop culture guy.

01:56:53.000 Yeah, you gotta watch Shaolin Soccer.

01:56:55.000 I think Kung Fu Hustle's way better.

01:56:57.000 Stephen Chow?

01:56:58.000 Yeah.

01:56:59.000 Kung Fu Hustle is amazing. 0.95

01:57:02.000 It's ridiculous. 0.91

01:57:03.000 It's like Kung Fu comedy. 0.98

01:57:06.000 Yeah.

01:57:06.000 I recommend it.

01:57:08.000 I wonder if he's got any other ones.

01:57:10.000 We need real comedy.

01:57:11.000 We need some mockery and some comedy and some fun.

01:57:14.000 Bantam Media says, Civilization 7 is dope.

01:57:17.000 Also been boycotting Super Bowl since 99 because it would preempt the Simpsons and I'm still mad.

01:57:22.000 Yeah, I know.

01:57:22.000 They would be like, no Simpsons tonight.

01:57:23.000 And I'd be like, what's going on?

01:57:25.000 Same network still?

01:57:27.000 I gotta get Civ 7. I don't know.

01:57:29.000 I heard it was bad, though.

01:57:31.000 People were complaining about it for some reason.

01:57:33.000 Civilization 2. That's the only real one.

01:57:36.000 Although, at this point, the funny thing is, it's been 20...

01:57:39.000 It's been 30 years.

01:57:41.000 So, like, you have to get mods, because Civilization 2 is an old, like, Windows 3.1 game.

01:57:49.000 Or Windows 95. The technology ends in the 90s.

01:57:53.000 And so then once your civilization develops beyond 1990, it's just future technology.

01:57:57.000 So you're going to need the updates if you want to have things like social media.

01:58:01.000 Wow.

01:58:02.000 Yeah, in the newer Civilization games, social media is a component of it.

01:58:04.000 It doesn't exist in the early ones.

01:58:05.000 They did not know.

01:58:07.000 But it's always fun to build nukes.

01:58:10.000 That's how I would play Civ 2. I would never have to go to war because I would just build nukes like crazy.

01:58:15.000 But then, of course, in the newer Civilization games, if you don't have access to uranium in your country's borders, you can't build nukes.

01:58:23.000 And then the other people do, and then they nuke you.

01:58:26.000 That's just the reality, man.

01:58:27.000 That's life.

01:58:28.000 Civ.

01:58:28.000 What a fun game.

01:58:30.000 All right, let's grab a couple more.

01:58:32.000 Scuba Steve says, Space Marines 2, 8-foot-tall superhuman space soldiers that are all jacked men.

01:58:38.000 Yes.

01:58:39.000 Well, there you go.

01:58:39.000 That's good.

01:58:41.000 All right, what do we got here?

01:58:43.000 Ken Busby says, I would love to hear a conversation test on Between You and Me, Gabriel Mann, the producer, JD, the hotshot movie.

01:58:54.000 I don't know what you're saying.

01:58:56.000 Sunco Samurai says, Kung Fu Hustle was amazing.

01:59:00.000 There are people tweeting at me about Kung Fu Hustle right now.

01:59:03.000 Shocked that you have not seen it.

01:59:05.000 That is a classic cult.

01:59:07.000 That is a cult classic.

01:59:08.000 Yeah, I can't even describe it.

01:59:09.000 It's so good.

01:59:10.000 It actually is a good story.

01:59:12.000 There's a bit of comedy in it, but it actually is like a hero's journey.

01:59:16.000 Oh, wow.

01:59:16.000 It's like a standard, it's a Kung Fu hero's journey with comedy in it.

01:59:18.000 It's really good.

01:59:20.000 All right, everybody, if you haven't already, people are mentioning Kung Pao under the fist.

01:59:23.000 Not a fan.
