Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Trump Rally Hits OVER 100K In HISTORIC Numbers, MEME STOCKS ARE BACK w-Riley Moore | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 A historic rally.

00:00:18.000 Donald Trump attracted over 100,000 people into his Wildwood rally, and it rivals that they say of Barack Obama in St.

00:00:26.000 Louis.

00:00:26.000 Now, some estimates say as low as 80,000, but as high as 100,000.

00:00:28.000 So let's just go with 100,000 people.

00:00:29.000 And this is in New Jersey.

00:00:33.000 Where some are speculating it's possible Trump could actually win the deep blue state, which hasn't been done in something like 40 years.

00:00:40.000 I'm not so convinced.

00:00:41.000 It is New Jersey, but Trump was able to muster up a massive showing.

00:00:45.000 We'll talk about that.

00:00:45.000 So this is big news.

00:00:46.000 Then things get really interesting.

00:00:48.000 CNN's Fareed Zakaria said this criminal trial against Trump would not be brought against anyone if their name was not Donald Trump.

00:00:57.000 And even Bill Maher has now surfaced an old interview with Stormy Daniels where she contradicts herself and even Bill Maher is calling her a liar.

00:01:05.000 So this'll be a lot of fun.

00:01:06.000 And then, of course, my friends, the GameStop stock is skyrocketing.

00:01:10.000 Everyone's saying the meme stocks are back.

00:01:12.000 People are starting to buy heavily.

00:01:14.000 There's retail investors.

00:01:15.000 And some say it's because the internet user named RoaringKitty has returned.

00:01:20.000 Well, we already have a SuperChatter saying, actually, this is because there were a bunch of calls made a while ago, and this is actually predictable.

00:01:28.000 We'll talk about that.

00:01:29.000 There's a bunch of other news.

00:01:30.000 The Ashley Biden diary is real.

00:01:32.000 This actually came out a couple weeks ago, but now it's getting more traction.

00:01:34.000 And then, of course, Rumble is suing Google for a billion dollars because of their unfair marketing practices pertaining to marketing.

00:01:42.000 So we'll talk about all of that.

00:01:43.000 Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and buy coffee.

00:01:46.000 It's the best coffee.

00:03:10.000 There are some stories that pop up here and there.

00:03:12.000 But then Shane's going to line up, Shane and Alex will line up, maybe five to six callers

00:03:18.000 who will call in to share their paranormal experiences.

00:03:22.000 And then here's the best part.

00:03:23.000 The plan is, with the membership on the SCNR app, is to actually create rooms to investigate

00:03:31.000 some of these paranormal claims.

00:03:32.000 And you know, it's wishful thinking.

00:03:45.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Riley Moore.

00:03:48.000 Hey, thanks for having me back.

00:03:50.000 Good to be here.

00:03:51.000 What do you do?

00:03:51.000 Who are you?

00:03:52.000 So, I am currently the State Treasurer of West Virginia and running for the 2nd Congressional District in West Virginia.

00:03:58.000 And, I will say, the coffee's excellent.

00:04:01.000 Ah, thank you very much.

00:04:02.000 Yeah, so, gonna be in Congress and the only member of Congress who can kick flip.

00:04:08.000 I believe that is correct, and I will challenge any member of Congress if I am there to a game of skate.

00:04:13.000 I'm pretty sure you'd win.

00:04:15.000 I wonder if there's any other, you know, I was mentioning this before the show, our generation had the big skateboard boom, so it's no surprise that as we're getting older, you're going to start to see the hobby and the sport, you know, of skateboarding entering Congress.

00:04:15.000 Yeah, I hope so.

00:04:31.000 I mean, people in Congress play basketball, they play football.

00:04:33.000 Yeah, no, I mean, I think you're going to see a lot more people that skate.

00:04:36.000 And I mean, I, you know, I don't know if I can do this or not, but I'd love to start like a, you know, a skateboarder caucus, something like that.

00:04:43.000 You know, try to advocate.

00:04:44.000 Be the only one.

00:04:45.000 You know, I'd be the only one.

00:04:46.000 I'd be the only one in it.

00:04:47.000 But at least you can kind of like try to publicly advocate for those types of spaces and things, which I think are great for kids.

00:04:53.000 Yeah, maybe in about 10 years, there'll be a scooter caucus.

00:04:55.000 You know, that's the time frame.

00:04:55.000 Yeah, there you go.

00:04:57.000 So thanks for joining us.

00:04:58.000 It's going to be a lot of fun.

00:04:59.000 We got a lot hanging out.

00:05:00.000 Hey, what's up, everybody?

00:05:01.000 Tim, thanks for having me on.

00:05:02.000 I'm a fields reporter here at Scanner News.

00:05:04.000 What's up, Hannah-Claire?

00:05:05.000 Hey, I'm Hannah-Claire Brimlow.

00:05:06.000 I'm a writer for SCNR, or Scanner News.

00:05:09.000 You guys can follow all of our work at TimCastNews on Instagram and Twitter.

00:05:14.000 Serge is here.

00:05:14.000 Hello, I'm here.

00:05:15.000 What's up, guys?

00:05:16.000 Help you do the show.

00:05:17.000 Here we go from the New York Post. 1.00

00:05:19.000 Trump blasts Biden as total moron before crowd of 100,000 at New Jersey rally. 1.00

00:05:26.000 Whole world is laughing at him. 0.99

00:05:27.000 I had to choose the news source that not only referenced the 100,000 number but also insulted Joe Biden because we are very biased here at Timcast.

00:05:37.000 We like Trump.

00:05:38.000 We don't like Biden. 0.98

00:05:40.000 Donald Trump recited all his greatest hits at a massive Saturday evening rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, but managed to avoid violating his court-imposed gag order by focusing on President Biden, whom he called a total moron, and blamed for his web of legal troubles. 0.91

00:05:54.000 Trump wearing his typical blue shirt, I'm sorry, blue suit, blood red tie, and Make America Great Again cap Railed about inflation, offshore windmills, electric cars, the press, and Chris Christie. 0.89

00:06:06.000 But unsurprisingly, it was Biden who drew the most intense vitriol.

00:06:08.000 Take a look at some of these photos.

00:06:10.000 Absolutely insane.

00:06:12.000 This is potentially one of the biggest rallies ever in U.S.

00:06:18.000 history.

00:06:19.000 It is believed to be the biggest for a Republican, and we're not sure it may rival Obama's St.

00:06:25.000 Louis rally of 100,000.

00:06:27.000 So, I mean, this is massive.

00:06:30.000 What I will say is we're getting all of these signs and signals that Donald Trump is on track to win bigly.

00:06:36.000 The question is, I'd imagine that there's going to be some sort of shadow campaign.

00:06:40.000 And, you know, I'm not so sure that we should just sit here and rest on our laurels just yet.

00:06:47.000 I think that's the problem with a lot of Republican voters, right?

00:06:50.000 They're easy to say like, oh, Joe Biden's so bad and inflation's awful, you know, of course Trump is going to win.

00:06:56.000 But the reality is that you have to go to the polls, right?

00:06:59.000 And the other part is that, you know, if you had a Trump presidency, if you're really looking to see the reawakening of conservative values or America First values in this country, you would need to also support, you know, those Beliefs and policies, down tickets, so you have to be able to vote for Senate, Congress, you know, everyone in your local level.

00:07:17.000 It's so easy during a presidential election year to just say, like, oh, yes, these two guys are running when actually, I mean, you're the best person to talk about this.

00:07:24.000 Yeah.

00:07:24.000 There's so much more to it.

00:07:25.000 Now, look, this is an inflection point in this country.

00:07:28.000 It really makes a huge difference.

00:07:32.000 The outcome of this election, there's no doubt about it.

00:07:35.000 If you think That things are bad now.

00:07:39.000 Think if you had another four years of Joe Biden and how bad that would be.

00:07:43.000 Imagine just in the time that we're living in right now, three years of Joe Biden, tank the economy, inflation's off the charts.

00:07:52.000 You have to go out and vote if we're going to get this country back.

00:07:56.000 It's the only way to save this country is for Joe Biden to be defeated in this upcoming election.

00:08:02.000 It's a huge, huge election.

00:08:04.000 I know everyone's always like, this is the biggest election ever elected.

00:08:07.000 I am serious.

00:08:08.000 I mean, you have seen this thing on hyperdrive, the left's agenda over the last three years.

00:08:14.000 Trillions of dollars of debt, inflation, all of it piled up.

00:08:17.000 We're potentially looking at three wars now.

00:08:19.000 I mean, go out and vote.

00:08:21.000 Please, people, be politically engaged because they're going to do everything they can on their side to try to make this thing difficult for us.

00:08:29.000 I mean, I think that's why you see the hyperfixation on abortion, on these issues that are not getting the same attention that the mainstream everyday kitchen table issues have, right?

00:08:38.000 Like, how much your grocery bill pay- how much your grocery bill is really makes a difference to the voter.

00:08:44.000 Being able to say, well, I was the president who, you know, what- My vice president toured an abortion facility.

00:08:52.000 I feel like the Democrats are already campaigning uphill because the economy is so bad and that's such a number one issue.

00:08:59.000 But on top of that, the things that they are alternatively trying to direct to aren't as motivating in terms of getting voter turnout as, you know, some other issues.

00:09:06.000 I thought it was interesting.

00:09:07.000 One of his openers was North Carolina Governor Doug Burgum.

00:09:11.000 North Dakota.

00:09:11.000 Burgum.

00:09:13.000 North Dakota, rather.

00:09:15.000 So, I don't know if I'm reading into that too much.

00:09:17.000 It would be an interesting VP pick because I know there's been whispers about that.

00:09:20.000 Yeah, now there has been whispers about that, but to me, I think the person who makes the most sense to be the VP nomination for Donald Trump is J.D.

00:09:30.000 Senator J.D.

00:09:30.000 Vance.

00:09:31.000 Vance out of Ohio.

00:09:33.000 If we want to continue this America First movement in this country, Senator J.D.

00:09:38.000 Vance is the person for that job.

00:09:41.000 Vance makes the most sense to me.

00:09:41.000 J.D.

00:09:43.000 I don't think you need a milk toast.

00:09:45.000 Uh, VP nominee in this process.

00:09:48.000 You don't need just a filler.

00:09:50.000 We need a succession plan.

00:09:51.000 If he picked J.D.

00:09:52.000 Vance, I think that would be a huge signal to what his policy goals would be in this second administration.

00:09:57.000 However, I don't know if he'd feel comfortable having somebody like a J.D.

00:10:00.000 Vance because I think if J.D.

00:10:02.000 was a VP, then he'd want to run for president next time.

00:10:05.000 And I don't think Trump wants somebody under him who could potentially like vie for a spot after, uh, What do you think about that?

00:10:11.000 JD Vance was in New York today at the trial.

00:10:12.000 I mean, he was sort of advocating the way that a second in command would.

00:10:16.000 And this is one of the interesting things about the Trump election, right?

00:10:19.000 Which is like tomorrow, Vivek's going to be there too.

00:10:21.000 So there are all these people sort of saying like, look, if you need someone, here's what

00:10:25.000 I would look like as a potential second in command.

00:10:27.000 It's the tryouts.

00:10:28.000 Yeah.

00:10:29.000 Yeah.

00:10:30.000 I mean, look, JD is somebody who comes from that working class background.

00:10:33.000 Everybody's kind of familiar with him and his book, Kill Billy Elegy and all of that.

00:10:38.000 This party now is shifting to this party, the working class.

00:10:42.000 Axios just put out an article, I think it was yesterday, talking about Latino working

00:10:45.000 class voters are now shifting to the Republican column as well as black working class voters.

00:10:50.000 And we're seeing that obviously among white working class voters and specifically labor

00:10:54.000 unions.

00:10:55.000 That's also happening as well.

00:10:56.000 They're voting for Trump.

00:10:57.000 Trump in the last one got 40 percent of the labor union vote.

00:11:00.000 They're moving in our direction.

00:11:02.000 captures that.

00:11:02.000 J.D.

00:11:03.000 And I think he plays well in places like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania.

00:11:08.000 He's from Southern Ohio.

00:11:09.000 Obviously, we're going to win Ohio anyway.

00:11:11.000 But point being, look, Trump has one term here that he's going to do.

00:11:16.000 We have to have a succession plan because there is going to be an empire strikes back moment where the establishment and the neocons are going to try to take it back.

00:11:27.000 They're gonna try to bring in a... It'll be a pseudo-MAGA candidate. 1.00

00:11:33.000 Someone you think will try and fit into the MAGA mold, but slowly drift into Uniparty mold.

00:11:40.000 Or at the very least, get elected and then go full Uniparty.

00:11:43.000 Was Nikki Haley the only person he officially ruled out?

00:11:45.000 Was that?

00:11:46.000 Okay, so Obi, it's for sure not going to be Nikki Haley.

00:11:49.000 And I just want to mention, too, we're getting, like, cell phone interference and everyone's phones are in airplane mode.

00:11:54.000 And I know that people are hearing the crackling and I'm like, I have no idea.

00:11:59.000 Everybody's in airplane mode and it just keeps happening.

00:12:01.000 So, that's never happened before.

00:12:02.000 But you know what I think the issue is?

00:12:04.000 We're in a Faraday cage.

00:12:06.000 We're in a... What does that mean?

00:12:07.000 So a Faraday cage is like a gigantic metal box that absorbs electromagnetic frequencies.

00:12:13.000 Okay.

00:12:13.000 And so the building we're in is not a legitimate Faraday cage, but it basically acts like one because your phone doesn't work inside the building.

00:12:22.000 But it does a little bit, so I think what may be happening is that in the room, the phones, when the signal gets weak, it blasts.

00:12:30.000 It searches harder for them.

00:12:32.000 Yeah, and the phone gets hot.

00:12:33.000 So that's why we're hearing that crackling.

00:12:35.000 But I don't know.

00:12:36.000 Everyone's in airplane mode.

00:12:37.000 We'll see what happens.

00:12:38.000 I'm in airplane mode.

00:12:39.000 Yeah.

00:12:40.000 So now we all get to stay completely focused.

00:12:42.000 Yes.

00:12:43.000 Anyway, there's going to be a fake market candidate.

00:12:45.000 And the scary thing is you won't you won't see it coming.

00:12:49.000 That's the only it's the only move.

00:12:50.000 And I don't I don't know what the defense is against it.

00:12:53.000 Right?

00:12:54.000 Someone's gonna there's a big backbench for Republicans.

00:12:57.000 And You're going to get a candidate who says all the right things and seems to be like Trump in a lot of ways, but better.

00:13:06.000 Yes, Bannon said that, you know, you ain't seen nothing yet.

00:13:08.000 Donald Trump's the moderate.

00:13:09.000 Donald Trump is actually still warm to many establishment players trying to play ball.

00:13:16.000 And imagine what it would be like if Steve Bannon was president.

00:13:19.000 I mean, he's way, way, way more America First, more MAGA than Trump is.

00:13:25.000 Trump actually seems to be trying to still stay within color within the lines or whatever.

00:13:30.000 I think we may end up with somebody who says all the right things, gets in, and then, you know, nukes a foreign country or something. 0.79

00:13:38.000 I mean, it's always possible.

00:13:38.000 I think it's possible.

00:13:39.000 For me, the best way to deter against a potential, you know, usurper of the MAGA legacy would be if there was a clear understanding of what the future momentum of the MAGA movement would be, right?

00:13:50.000 Because ultimately, without one defined leader, you know, when Trump can no longer be in office, It's going to inevitably fracture into different interest groups.

00:14:00.000 One of the best things about it right now is there's a cohesive rallying point.

00:14:03.000 And even with all the trials and everything that he's in, ultimately people look to Trump as like the way forward through the mess that we are in.

00:14:09.000 And if people felt that way in 2016, but now given the state that Joe Biden has left the country, it's even more so, right?

00:14:16.000 I mean, I just don't.

00:14:18.000 Yeah, I mean, just to be clear, you know, with Senator Vance, J.D.

00:14:21.000 apparent to this. On the other hand, the best thing the voters could do to say,

00:14:24.000 these are the issues, like top three issues we want moving forward.

00:14:27.000 Yeah. I mean, just to be clear, you know, with Senator Vance, J.D. Vance,

00:14:31.000 this is a guy who, and whatever you think about this, you have to at least give him credit here. During his

00:14:39.000 election, during his campaign, came out against the U.S.

00:14:44.000 supporting the war in Ukraine.

00:14:46.000 During his election, which was not popular, and he took He had a lot of guts coming out like that and took the risk because he thought it was the right thing.

00:14:57.000 And that is where, it turns out, a lot of the electorate is, actually.

00:15:02.000 So, I mean, I think that's what you want.

00:15:04.000 And it is like Trump.

00:15:04.000 I mean, there are a lot of issues that Trump moved forward on in a way that other Republicans have been scared to.

00:15:09.000 I mean, famously saying, build the wall.

00:15:12.000 So many Republicans had looked at immigration as this, like, campaign ending issue and that's not the case anymore.

00:15:19.000 And you know, there have been people before him talking about immigration, but Trump really

00:15:22.000 brought it to the mainstream in a way that sort of similarly, you can see that kind of

00:15:25.000 boldness in a candidate like Vance when they take stances that maybe, especially corporate

00:15:29.000 media are like, do not say that.

00:15:31.000 I don't want to sound super cynical politically, but it's so interesting when you zoom out

00:15:34.000 for a second and you see who the possibilities are for VP Marco Rubio, JD Vance.

00:15:39.000 These guys were all at one point never Trumpers and they did a full 180 now and are managing to be on his kind of shortlist for VP.

00:15:46.000 I think it's from a zoomed out 10 year perspective, it's easy how quickly politics can change.

00:15:51.000 Do you say who you would want to see as VP?

00:15:53.000 Um, I don't, I think he should try to unify the party.

00:15:56.000 So I think he should pick the only person he said that he wouldn't.

00:15:59.000 Who?

00:15:59.000 Nikki Haley.

00:16:01.000 I think Nikki Haley would be a great pick.

00:16:03.000 And it would also unify the Republican Party.

00:16:05.000 No, he's a Haley fan.

00:16:08.000 Also, I don't think Nikki Haley is very threatening to Trump.

00:16:10.000 Like, I don't think Trump wants a VP who he views as somebody who could be his possible successor.

00:16:15.000 He doesn't want to have to be concerned.

00:16:17.000 Could you pick a VP that you call birdbrain though?

00:16:19.000 I mean, that's right.

00:16:19.000 I think he said horrible things about Marco Rubio and he's still on the shortlist.

00:16:23.000 He can't pick Nikki Haley because then I owe Will Chamberlain $4,000.

00:16:25.000 It's a small amount to pay to have somebody so hawkish and... She looks so happy.

00:16:35.000 Will and I did a charity bet, Will Chamberlain.

00:16:38.000 Because he was saying, look, he's going to pick Haley.

00:16:41.000 Like, that makes a lot of sense.

00:16:43.000 Like you said, unify the party.

00:16:43.000 It does.

00:16:44.000 It gets a lot of the establishment players, Bush donors, to play ball with Trump.

00:16:49.000 And I said, no way it's going to happen.

00:16:51.000 So he challenged me.

00:16:52.000 We did a charity bet.

00:16:54.000 But he recently tweeted at me, I just gotta reach out, he said, Trump truthed Nikki Haley is not under consideration.

00:17:00.000 And Will said, looks like you've won this one, name the charity, and so we'll figure it out.

00:17:05.000 But I don't think it's fair to say the charity bet is over, because just because Trump said she's not under consideration doesn't mean it's not the case, and we're all hoping it's not the case.

00:17:14.000 We're hoping he's serious when he says no to Nikki Haley.

00:17:17.000 Yeah, J.D.

00:17:18.000 Vance obviously had comments at one point and Marco Rubio being never Trumpers at that time.

00:17:27.000 I'm a Christian.

00:17:28.000 I believe in redemption.

00:17:29.000 I believe in salvation and people coming to the light and they found the light and that's good.

00:17:34.000 You know, I'm not into cancel culture and saying, well, they said this, that, that, not saying you are, you're not, but you know, we get that sometimes with Republicans where it's like, oh, well, they said this along.

00:17:44.000 I don't care what they said a long time ago.

00:17:46.000 I, you know, they're, they're where they need to be now.

00:17:49.000 And I think JD has been a great advocate for the American first movement.

00:17:53.000 Let's jump to the trial news.

00:17:55.000 We have this story, and I love this one so much.

00:17:58.000 CNN pundit preps Biden voters for a Trump win.

00:18:01.000 That's one way to put it, Post Millennial.

00:18:03.000 Quote, I doubt the New York indictment would have brought against a defendant whose name was not Donald Trump.

00:18:09.000 This is Fareed Zakaria of CNN.

00:18:12.000 But don't take it from me.

00:18:14.000 Break it down for you.

00:18:14.000 Listen to him.

00:18:16.000 And the trials against him keep him in the spotlight, infuriate his base, who sees him as a martyr.

00:18:23.000 may serve to make him the object of some sympathy among people in general who believe that his

00:18:23.000 I love that.

00:18:29.000 prosecutors are politically motivated.

00:18:32.000 This happens to be true, in my opinion.

00:18:34.000 I doubt the New York indictment would have been brought against a defendant whose name

00:18:38.000 was not Donald Trump.

00:18:40.000 A majority of Americans are skeptical that Trump will be able to get a fair trial, according

00:18:45.000 to a CNN poll.

00:18:46.000 I love that he says and his fans see it as politically motivated, which is motivated,

00:18:52.000 which is true in my opinion.

00:18:53.000 That was on CNN.

00:18:55.000 Yo, it's bad.

00:18:56.000 And you even had an MSNBC, a legal analyst, defending Trump's team because Stormy Daniels is so bad. 1.00

00:19:04.000 They said that Stormy Daniels basically turned this into a sexual assault case, which has prejudiced the jury.

00:19:11.000 And it's shocking that it's being allowed.

00:19:13.000 I'm like, When CNN and MSNBC are defending Trump, we don't need Nikki Haley for Unity, right?

00:19:19.000 We've got Unity now because they've gone so sour with these, they've screwed these trials up so miserably.

00:19:28.000 Everyone's seemingly being forced to defend Donald Trump.

00:19:30.000 But I just want to say I love that we're in the moment where everybody, everybody, probably not everybody, a lot of people were Trump supporters from day one.

00:19:37.000 But for a lot of those holdouts, you know, me included, we had those stop making me defend Trump moments where Trump would come out and say something like, you know, we're gonna we're gonna secure the border and we're gonna make sure we Deal with this properly because these cartels, these people are animals. 0.92

00:19:55.000 I'm telling you, the people come and they're animals.

00:19:57.000 And then the left comes out and says Trump calls immigrants and calls refugees animals. 0.67

00:20:02.000 And then I'm like, no, no, look, he's talking about the cartels.

00:20:06.000 Like, stop making me defend him, okay?

00:20:09.000 Now we're at the point where CNN and MSNBC are in the, please, no, like, stop making me defend Trump phase, which means give them six months and they'll be Trump supporters.

00:20:18.000 Well, storytelling is interesting because initially they're like, she's so brave.

00:20:21.000 She's taking the stand.

00:20:22.000 And initially, like the first, I would say 12 hours of coverage, they're like, she got at all these great points.

00:20:27.000 And then, you know, the further we got away from her testimony, the more and more people were like, actually, this could be a major issue on appeal that she prejudiced the jury.

00:20:34.000 Actually, she really couldn't rein herself in.

00:20:36.000 Actually, she said way more than the prosecutors wanted her to say.

00:20:39.000 And I think you're seeing this every time they put up a new witness in this case.

00:20:43.000 They're like, This is the star witness.

00:20:45.000 Well, actually, it wasn't that good.

00:20:47.000 In the case of Stormy Daniels, actually, this may have hurt everything.

00:20:49.000 And I think Michael Cohen's testimony might go similarly.

00:20:51.000 They're saying like, oh, he's really, he's really got Trump there.

00:20:54.000 And then later, it's gonna be like, but actually, he was always not that credible of a witness. 0.51

00:20:58.000 He is a convicted felon.

00:20:59.000 You know, he's convicted of tax evasion.

00:21:02.000 Like, it's not a great cast of characters for the prosecution there.

00:21:06.000 This is a serious issue, I believe, for the Joe Biden campaign, because they're actually big fans of Vareed Zakaria, which kind of represents, like, the median Democrat.

00:21:14.000 And for him to, like, plainly and nakedly see that this is political and publicly say so, I think is a serious issue for Democrats.

00:21:21.000 Did you hear about Jen Psaki's lie in her book? 1.00

00:21:25.000 Where she said Biden did not check his watch at the—was it a funeral or was it a memorial?

00:21:25.000 Her book?

00:21:30.000 When it was the bodies being transferred back to the U.S.

00:21:33.000 from Afghanistan.

00:21:34.000 It was the 13 Marines.

00:21:35.000 And she said in her book he didn't check his watch, it was fake news, and then... And cited an article that said he checked his watch while the bodies were being unloaded.

00:21:44.000 My view here is, MSNBC, these Democrat media-aligned people, they want to lie to you.

00:21:52.000 Yes.

00:21:53.000 Fareed Zakaria admitting this is not because he's being honest.

00:21:57.000 It's not because he finally realized. 1.00

00:22:00.000 It's because the lie is so egregious, the stupidest person in the country wouldn't even believe it. 1.00

00:22:06.000 Not necessarily. 1.00

00:22:07.000 A lot of stupid people do believe it, but they're at a point where they're like, guys, look, we can slip a lot past these dumb viewers, but this one's not going to fly. 1.00

00:22:16.000 We have no choice. 1.00

00:22:18.000 No one's going to believe it. 1.00

00:22:20.000 Our audience size will shrink to the 10 stupidest people in the country if we try and claim this is a real case 0.99

00:22:24.000 Well, their ratings have already been in the tank. Anyway, right? I mean 1.00

00:22:28.000 That's why yeah, that's why I mean, you know, they're propagating all these lies out here

00:22:32.000 It's such a strange world to be in where i'm like, oh my god. I agree with friedzer karyan, but uh

00:22:36.000 Look unity is possible. Yeah I think loosely the democrat plan here was to even if they

00:22:42.000 were to lose the case was to try to impugn donald Trump's character and make it oh donald trump cheated on

00:22:47.000 his wife allegedly because I believe he's still denying the relationship

00:22:51.000 But I guess that's the idea.

00:22:52.000 They want to make him seem like an adulterer.

00:22:55.000 But they've been doing this for so long, and I'm surprised that they haven't understood that this isn't an effective message.

00:23:03.000 They're just rehashing the Stormy Daniels stuff.

00:23:04.000 We've already done all the Stormy Daniels stuff.

00:23:07.000 When Cohen was on trial today, they were talking about, you know, that it would have been devastating if the story came out because Trump would have lost among women.

00:23:14.000 But he went on to win that election and also is, you know, as far as I can tell, it's not really the major thing that turns women off.

00:23:22.000 Yeah, he would have lost women.

00:23:24.000 I'm sure lots of women. 1.00

00:23:26.000 Feel very strongly about Stormy Daniels.

00:23:29.000 She's the representation of all of us.

00:23:31.000 That's who I want the moral hierarchy to be.

00:23:33.000 I think you look at the case, though, and the fact that it's taken this long, as Trump stated, I think it was today, it's four weeks he's not been able to campaign.

00:23:42.000 When you look at the case and there's no real criminal charge here, none of it makes sense.

00:23:46.000 I mean, it's wild.

00:23:47.000 There's no crime.

00:23:48.000 I think it's politically advantageous for Trump because it's making people like Varitskari come out and say this.

00:23:54.000 Right.

00:23:54.000 I agree.

00:23:54.000 But I don't think that was their plan.

00:23:55.000 I think their plan was to hobble Trump in an election year by making it so he can't campaign.

00:24:00.000 And now Trump is like, then I'll campaign in front of the courthouse every single day.

00:24:03.000 And it's working.

00:24:04.000 Oh no, he's totally flipped it.

00:24:05.000 And it's like, this is a witch hunt.

00:24:08.000 Any objective observer of this can look at it and say, this is a witch hunt.

00:24:11.000 I mean, they're dragging them all over the country to all these different trials that just happened to be during an election year.

00:24:19.000 Even though, like with this one, it's been turned down two or three times before.

00:24:22.000 They could have brought it way earlier.

00:24:23.000 They didn't.

00:24:24.000 They got it now.

00:24:25.000 It's all fake.

00:24:26.000 All this is fake.

00:24:27.000 It's just convenient timing for them, just like Tim's saying, to try to hobble them in his election.

00:24:31.000 But Trump Look, he is a genius when it comes to the media and just flipped it right on his head and he's just holding a press conference right in front of me.

00:24:40.000 Every day.

00:24:41.000 Before and after.

00:24:43.000 And having huge rallies like down the street in Wildwood.

00:24:46.000 Oh, he's got to do the Madison Square Garden one.

00:24:49.000 Imagine if, I think they're not doing court, no they are doing court on Fridays.

00:24:55.000 And then they get out like four or whatever, right?

00:24:56.000 They don't do it on Wednesdays.

00:24:58.000 Right.

00:24:58.000 Which is a weird thing.

00:25:00.000 Very strange.

00:25:01.000 But imagine if Trump said just abruptly at the last minute, Madison Square Garden rally on like the last week of the trial and the last day right after he gets out of court.

00:25:12.000 All right.

00:25:13.000 Like the jury deliberating whatever's going on or whatever happens.

00:25:17.000 Filling up Madison Square Garden would be just absolutely nuts.

00:25:20.000 Oh, yeah.

00:25:21.000 You know one of the ones that hit for me too is that he was either coming out of court or into it and he stopped and talked to all the labor union guys there in New York and they're like, yeah, what about Trump?

00:25:31.000 He brought pizzas to the firemen?

00:25:32.000 Yeah, he brought pizzas to the firemen.

00:25:33.000 What's a little bit shocking about the most recent Trump rallies too is that it doesn't have as much vitriol from the left as they used to.

00:25:41.000 There aren't these protests outside all of his rallies like there was coming up on 2016.

00:25:45.000 I've been to like a half dozen of them.

00:25:47.000 I'm constantly looking for protesters, but there are none.

00:25:50.000 Maybe if he came to MSG.

00:25:52.000 There would be some.

00:25:52.000 But it's interesting, too, because the Democrats are dealing constantly with protesters at their left flank.

00:25:58.000 The Joe Biden campaign is constantly screening people coming to his campaign rallies because they don't want viral videos of him being yelled at by Palestine protesters.

00:26:05.000 So it's just interesting seeing how that plays out.

00:26:08.000 Yeah, I think there's completely different energies coming from the two campaigns, and Trump's is sort of gaining momentum in a positive way whether you like him or not, and Joe Biden's is constantly hitting these roadblocks because the sort of most intense people in their demographic, what I would say, are young progressive voters who feel like they are called to activism over everything else.

00:26:28.000 You know, instead of rallying for Biden, they are prepared to rally against him.

00:26:31.000 I don't know if you saw all the videos of people walking out of college protests over the weekend because they were, you know, waving flags or doing whatever.

00:26:38.000 Like, in another universe, these people would have been like, we can't have Trump.

00:26:42.000 It has to be Biden over everything.

00:26:43.000 And instead, they're like divided on this major issue, meaning they are separated from their parties. 0.98

00:26:48.000 They're protesting at their graduations for Palestine, not that, oh, Trump's a threat to democracy and, oh, Trump's a fascist and the world's going to end because of it.

00:26:55.000 And I'll tell you this, I bet there will not be very big protests at the RNC in Milwaukee.

00:26:59.000 Oh, definitely not.

00:27:00.000 And there will be massive protests at the DNC in Chicago.

00:27:03.000 Did you hear they're trying to go virtual?

00:27:04.000 Exactly.

00:27:05.000 They're so concerned about potential riots that the DNC wants to go like half digital, half remote with their convention.

00:27:12.000 And who benefits off of being digital here?

00:27:15.000 Joe Biden, right?

00:27:16.000 Oh right, he can stay in the basement.

00:27:17.000 He can stay in the basement, they can light him properly, they can give him breaks off to the side.

00:27:21.000 It's not like you'll get an on-the-ground reporter like Allad noticing that he's actually being helped off the stage.

00:27:26.000 You can't get him stumbling upstairs if he's just seated at a desk.

00:27:29.000 You can't get people constantly yelling at him about Palestine because that's what it would be. 0.88

00:27:32.000 What they do is, well, in all honesty and seriousness, yes, I was going to make a joke, but you're absolutely right.

00:27:38.000 He's going to get heckled.

00:27:39.000 They're going to boo tons of people at the convention.

00:27:42.000 Progressive activists who are the Democratic Party are going to be screaming about Palestine.

00:27:46.000 I was going to make a joke that by having him in the basement, they can pull his skin back and hook him up to an IV so that he can be functioning during the duration of it.

00:27:53.000 But you're correct.

00:27:55.000 This is also what happened during COVID.

00:27:56.000 So they have the framework to have a virtual convention.

00:28:00.000 They already have the It's happened before, so... I mean, the world in which Biden functions right now, he himself as a person, at the end of the day, a presidential election, like any election, my election, anybody's, people are hiring you to do a job.

00:28:17.000 He couldn't get hired right now to be a greeter at Walmart.

00:28:20.000 He wouldn't be able to complete the sentences.

00:28:23.000 Hello, how are you today?

00:28:25.000 I mean, it's just... He wouldn't be a cart collector.

00:28:28.000 No.

00:28:29.000 No, couldn't do that.

00:28:30.000 Which, I don't know, is that harder than Greeter?

00:28:32.000 I think it's harder.

00:28:33.000 You gotta walk around.

00:28:34.000 The Greeters at Walmart sit.

00:28:36.000 They're just like hanging out.

00:28:37.000 Yeah, because he'd be sitting there and then he'd be like, huh, come on.

00:28:41.000 They'd be like, okay, grandpa, it's time to go to bed.

00:28:44.000 I mean, he is well past what's retirement age is 67 in this country.

00:28:47.000 Well past.

00:28:48.000 He's well past life expectancy.

00:28:49.000 But this is the thing, like in a different culture, we would be like, you are too old and you should retire.

00:28:55.000 Like, this is just something we do.

00:28:56.000 You turn over power to younger people. 1.00

00:28:58.000 But instead it's like, again, I like Donald Trump a lot, but he is also in his late 70s.

00:29:04.000 We have two older people.

00:29:05.000 Now, granted, Donald Trump's much healthier.

00:29:07.000 It's obvious night and day.

00:29:09.000 But this will just, again, siphon young voters away from Biden, who say he's just an old white man who they don't want there.

00:29:14.000 I just want to point out, we've got Biden, who is inviolable.

00:29:17.000 I mean, he's on the verge of death.

00:29:19.000 I mean that with all due respect, right?

00:29:21.000 OK, it's time to bring Grandpa Joe.

00:29:24.000 Wheel him into the sun and put a blanket on his lap and let him just relax all day.

00:29:28.000 Then you've got RFK Jr.

00:29:31.000 We just found out a worm ate his brain, part of it, and then died.

00:29:36.000 And shout out, I can't remember who said the super chat, but they were like...

00:29:39.000 Died of starvation?

00:29:41.000 Yeah, they said a worm was...

00:29:45.000 They say that a worm died in RFK Jr.'s head.

00:29:47.000 Poor thing starved it. 1.00

00:29:48.000 A brain-eating worm died in his head. 0.99

00:29:49.000 Poor thing starved to death. 0.99

00:29:51.000 And I'm sorry, RFK's head.

00:29:53.000 What did I say?

00:29:54.000 Did I say it right?

00:29:55.000 RFK.

00:29:56.000 And then you have Trump, who is this cartoonish, real estate, reality TV business mogul.

00:30:01.000 And I say cartoonish, not in like a unserious way, in a loud, boisterous, and like, what's the right word?

00:30:11.000 He's certainly spry, but he is a character, to say the least.

00:30:16.000 We have, like, this is the wildest presidential election of my lifetime, at the very least.

00:30:19.000 They've all been boring up until now.

00:30:22.000 This one's weird.

00:30:22.000 Yeah, look, yes, Trump is older, but, you know, I mean, his current state physically and mentally is vastly different than Joe Biden.

00:30:35.000 Let's jump to the story from the New York Post.

00:30:37.000 Bill Maher dredges up 2018 Stormy Daniels interview that totally undermines her Trump trial testimony.

00:30:44.000 What's wild about this is that you've basically got Bill Maher, who hates Donald Trump, has Trump derangement syndrome, defending Donald Trump.

00:30:54.000 Look, okay, you got Fareed Zakaria, you got MSNBC's legal analysts, and now you've got Bill Maher, and they're all being forced to defend Trump.

00:31:03.000 What a world we live in.

00:31:04.000 I think this may be the clip.

00:31:06.000 Let's play this one.

00:31:08.000 She hired, I mean it's not really relevant to the case, but they left an opening and now that one's gonna be delayed.

00:31:15.000 The stolen documents one, that's never going to happen because that's a Trumpy judge.

00:31:19.000 Yeah, this is an old clip.

00:31:20.000 This is not the clip.

00:31:21.000 That is him saying she's a bad witness.

00:31:23.000 They've screwed this one up.

00:31:24.000 But let me pull up the clip on Twitter.

00:31:29.000 Bill Maher on Twitter had it.

00:31:31.000 Here we go.

00:31:32.000 Jack Posobiec's got the clip and I thought it was in the article but we have it right here.

00:31:36.000 Trump, listen, and first I asked her why she had sex with Trump, listen to that and then listen to what she says

00:31:43.000 after that and then we're going to talk about the trial because it's quite a variance of what she said to me in

00:31:49.000 2018. Why did you f*** Donald Trump? I have no idea! Okay, but you say it's not a Me Too case. 0.98

00:31:57.000 It is not a Me Too case.

00:31:58.000 I mean, I wasn't assaulted.

00:32:01.000 I wasn't attacked or raped or coerced or blackmailed.

00:32:05.000 They tried to shove me in the Me Too box to further their own agenda.

00:32:09.000 And first of all, I didn't want any part of that because it's not the truth and I'm not a vixen in that regard.

00:32:15.000 That's not what she's saying though.

00:32:18.000 Uh, she's talking about he was bigger and blocking the way.

00:32:21.000 It's all the Me Too buzzwords.

00:32:24.000 She said, uh, there was a power imbalance of power for sure. 1.00

00:32:28.000 My hands were shaking so hard.

00:32:30.000 She said she blacked out.

00:32:33.000 Blacked out? 1.00

00:32:34.000 She's a porn star. 1.00

00:32:37.000 She's... I don't think second... That doesn't, that doesn't mean she's been subjected to the likes of Donald Trump. 0.97

00:32:43.000 I might, I might black out too.

00:32:49.000 Do you really think she blacked out? 0.99

00:32:51.000 I mean, a porn star is used to having sex with people she does not know. 0.98

00:32:55.000 That's the job. 0.99

00:32:56.000 It's kind of like Stormy Bob, Bob Stormy.

00:33:00.000 It's amazing that even when Bill Maher is basically saying she's lying, they're still trying to att- Yeah, but she was subjected to Donald Trump.

00:33:10.000 I'll break it down for you.

00:33:11.000 In the beginning, Bill Maher asks her, why did you sleep with Donald Trump?

00:33:13.000 She goes, I don't know.

00:33:14.000 I can tell you why.

00:33:15.000 Because at the time, he was a billionaire Reality TV celebrity real estate tycoon at every party with his name on all of these buildings around the world.

00:33:25.000 He was the American dream.

00:33:27.000 Everybody knew and loved Donald Trump.

00:33:29.000 And she of course enjoyed herself.

00:33:31.000 Now that Donald Trump is much older. 0.96

00:33:34.000 And they're trying to make him out to be this disgusting guy, but also they don't like him politically. 0.78

00:33:38.000 Now she's going, I don't know, I don't know. 0.92

00:33:40.000 It's all of these people that have amnesia.

00:33:42.000 They forgot that Trump was on The Apprentice and everyone loved that show.

00:33:46.000 They forgot that he was in Home Alone 2 as a cameo because people loved Donald Trump.

00:33:51.000 And now she can't recall why she wanted to be with a billionaire celebrity.

00:33:57.000 It's a mystery to everyone.

00:33:58.000 No one can figure that one out.

00:34:00.000 A lot of the time when there isn't any evidence of rape or sexual assault, I find that, I don't know if to call them activists or not, they go back to this buzzword power imbalance.

00:34:11.000 And it's not well defined, but I mean, if Donald Trump has sex with anybody, isn't it a power imbalance?

00:34:17.000 Just you see that buzzword a lot and when there isn't any Smoking gun, that's what they'll go back to and that you know It's Donald Trump of having sex with Stormy Daniels because and the power imbalance existing.

00:34:28.000 Is that the crime?

00:34:29.000 So well, she's changed her mind like four or five times Yeah, she admitted in court that she signed that letter stating like there was no affair.

00:34:36.000 I don't believe that it even happened The crime is that not not it was the because it was a FEC violation for not- and then the case back that happened.

00:34:51.000 It was like an in-kind donation.

00:34:54.000 No.

00:34:56.000 There's no crime.

00:34:57.000 Well, I think what they're alleging the crime is that he was getting... Donald Trump was paying Michael Cohen... Yeah, so they're saying he falsified his payments to Michael Cohen.

00:35:08.000 He said they were for legal purposes.

00:35:09.000 They're saying a hush money.

00:35:10.000 That, I think, would be a misdemeanor in New York, except now they're saying it's a felony because he did it to cover up another crime, which they're saying is election interference.

00:35:18.000 But they don't have to actually charge him with that, and they don't have to prove it, really.

00:35:21.000 Like, in court, they're trying to.

00:35:23.000 But there literally is no underlying crime.

00:35:24.000 They're just saying election interference is no crime.

00:35:28.000 And the falsifying business records is a misdemeanor that the statute of limitations expired a long time ago.

00:35:34.000 They tried to bring this against Trump.

00:35:35.000 The FEC and the DOJ said there is no crime and you have no jurisdiction.

00:35:39.000 So they waited eight years Trump apparently made the payment when he was already president, by the way.

00:35:45.000 So how was he interfe- I believe that's what it was, right?

00:35:48.000 It was 2017.

00:35:48.000 Yeah, so he started- the idea is that he started authorizing them beforehand, but then they were made in like installments and they went through when he was in office in the White House.

00:35:55.000 So they brought in like his secretary to be like, did you hand him these letters?

00:35:58.000 And she was like, sure, because it's the mail that was for him.

00:36:02.000 You don't think it happened?

00:36:03.000 No, I don't.

00:36:04.000 Yeah, I don't either.

00:36:05.000 You guys don't think that?

00:36:06.000 I do not.

00:36:07.000 No, I don't.

00:36:08.000 This is kind of weird.

00:36:10.000 Do you know why I don't think it happened?

00:36:12.000 Go back to the Brett Kavanaugh thing.

00:36:15.000 You don't think they find people to try to set them up and destroy them?

00:36:19.000 Then what was the payment for?

00:36:21.000 Because to stop them from selling the story.

00:36:23.000 Yeah, to try to stop them from selling a fake story, though, because if they published a fake story, he could sue.

00:36:27.000 But don't a ton of people settle with girls who come forward with allegations? 1.00

00:36:30.000 Like, it's easier to settle than it is to try and bring all the dirty details out.

00:36:33.000 Wait, wait, wait.

00:36:34.000 Is it, it is confirmed there is an NDA?

00:36:38.000 An NDA?

00:36:38.000 That there is literally an NDA that Trump had Stormy Daniels sign that says not to tell

00:36:44.000 anybody they hooked up?

00:36:46.000 I think it was like they signed the rights of the story to be able to publish the story

00:36:50.000 and then they killed the story.

00:36:51.000 Yeah, so the idea is like she went to the media and was like, I have this story.

00:36:55.000 And so they worked with the National Enquirer to be like, we'll buy the rights to the story

00:36:59.000 from you so that then they can hold it and they never print it.

00:37:02.000 But then the National Enquirer publisher was like, I already did this for someone else, a different playboy model, who, by the way, from what I'm remembering of the numbers, got more money than Stormy Daniels?

00:37:10.000 Like, it doesn't really make sense other than the fact that they were like, When you're in an election year, theoretically, any of these women come forward, say anything, and it's actually faster, not that this is great, but like, it's faster to just pay them to go away, but that doesn't actually admit that there was anything there. 0.73

00:37:25.000 It's that they have the ability to damage your reputation and you have the money to make it quiet.

00:37:29.000 It's like LBJ, you know, said back in the day, you know, and this is, I'm paraphrasing the quote, but you know, he'd want to ask his opponent, when did you stop beating your wife?

00:37:37.000 Yeah.

00:37:38.000 How do you answer that one?

00:37:39.000 Right?

00:37:40.000 Yeah.

00:37:40.000 It's, you know... Never started?

00:37:42.000 Never started.

00:37:43.000 It's like, oh, really?

00:37:44.000 And the story's angle of rumors had been around for like a really long time.

00:37:47.000 From what I know, like, People Magazine was like speculating about it in the early 2000s.

00:37:51.000 It's not like it was... He was a playboy.

00:37:53.000 I think he shtipped a lot of models in porn.

00:37:55.000 I can't speak to everything, but I just think that Stormy Daniels has been completely inconsistent.

00:37:58.000 The fact that she was like, yes, this happened, no, it didn't happen.

00:38:02.000 Actually, I'm going to go on TV and say that's not my signature on this letter denying it happened.

00:38:05.000 Then I'm going to go to court, which was last week, and say, actually, that is my signature.

00:38:10.000 I was just made to sign it.

00:38:11.000 She's not consistent.

00:38:12.000 She's not a good witness. 1.00

00:38:14.000 I can't speak to all of Trump's personal activities.

00:38:16.000 I can just say this is not someone the public looks at and is like, I really believe her.

00:38:19.000 I don't know that it actually matters at this point.

00:38:21.000 I think the bigger picture here is just that Bill Maher Fareed Zakaria, MSNBC's legal analysts, they're all saying like, this is bunk.

00:38:33.000 On MSNBC, they were saying that this is just prejudice to the jury.

00:38:36.000 Trump's gonna win an appeal in two seconds.

00:38:41.000 If you go to court, here's the example that I gave earlier in the day.

00:38:45.000 If guy A is accused of kicking guy B's dog, you've got like simple assault or something.

00:38:51.000 I don't know if they would charge for that, but you know, he attacked the guy.

00:38:55.000 You can't in the courtroom mention that the dude accused of kicking the dog had previously served jail time for mail fraud.

00:39:02.000 Because it prejudices the jury against him, even though it has no relevance to whether he kicked the dog or not, it's not evidence, it just makes him look bad, so they want to say he must be a criminal.

00:39:10.000 So they usually say you can't bring that up, that's nothing to do with this trial.

00:39:14.000 The fact that in a court hearing about falsified documents, Stormy is effectively accusing Trump of rape, turning it into a Me Too case, has absolutely prejudiced the jury. 0.98

00:39:23.000 But there's some reports saying that Trump was fuming, he was muttering to himself the whole time, like basically saying she was a liar and this is ridiculous. 0.97

00:39:30.000 This is exactly what Trump's team wants. 0.97

00:39:32.000 And this is what MSNBC is pointing out.

00:39:34.000 They're saying, fantastic, by refusing to sustain the objections to this and do anything about it, Trump's going to file an appeal and they're going to say the jury was prejudiced with this testimony.

00:39:48.000 The appeals court's going to say, oh absolutely.

00:39:50.000 So it gets thrown out.

00:39:52.000 Which says to me, the goal of this trial is to hobble Trump and take up his time and just try to run his name through the mud as much as they can.

00:40:00.000 It's not working.

00:40:02.000 Seems to be backfiring.

00:40:04.000 Yeah, I mean, it's the same strategy again, too.

00:40:06.000 It's like, we heard this Stormy Daniels story, give us something new.

00:40:08.000 Yeah, and again, now all these theoretical details are out, I don't think it affected anything, right?

00:40:14.000 If the whole thing was to keep her from being able to talk about the whatever alleged encounter they had, and now it's on trial, but actually everyone is sympathetic to Trump because she's not trustworthy, what did this actually achieve for anyone other than maybe giving Stormy Daniels 15 more minutes of fame?

00:40:29.000 Yeah, and to be fair here, it's a little...

00:40:31.000 Tough to, in the public eye, Me Too Donald Trump with a porn star. 0.99

00:40:39.000 It's a tough sell. 0.98

00:40:41.000 Yeah, here we are.

00:40:42.000 And they're trying to change their story.

00:40:44.000 Well, let's jump to this next story.

00:40:46.000 We have this from the Gateway Pundit.

00:40:48.000 Ashley Biden officially confirms her diary where she talks about showers with her dad.

00:40:53.000 Joe Biden is real, an emotional letter to judge.

00:40:56.000 And I wanted to pull up the Gateway Pundit because they actually reported the news.

00:41:01.000 But I'm going to throw it to our good friends over at Snopes.

00:41:04.000 who updated their article titled, Did Ashley Biden accused Joe Biden of inappropriate behavior

00:41:10.000 in a leaked diary? Quote, I will forever have to deal with the fact that my personal journal

00:41:15.000 can be viewed online. Ashley Biden wrote to a district court judge. Wow. True. On April 29,

00:41:21.000 2024, Snopes changed the rating of this fact check from unproven to true

00:41:25.000 based on testimony provided by Ashley Biden.

00:41:27.000 In an April 8th letter to a New York judge requesting jail time for one of the two people convicted of stealing her diary, Biden wrote, which I just read, I will forever have to deal with the fact that my personal journal can be viewed online, Previous versions of this fact check noted strong evidence the diary existed, but argued that no source had authenticated the contents of the pages published online, writing that the authenticity of photographs reported to be from a diary is a separate question from the factual existence of a diary.

00:41:52.000 My response to that, Snopes, is there's no proof Donald Trump had any classified documents.

00:41:58.000 There's a photo of it.

00:41:59.000 They're claiming they recovered the evidence, but they could have made it up. 0.81

00:42:03.000 So until there's proof, it's a ridiculous notion.

00:42:06.000 Look, Trump had the documents.

00:42:07.000 The question is, as president, was he allowed to have classified documents or not?

00:42:11.000 Not whether they were real.

00:42:13.000 We know that this woman took the diary.

00:42:15.000 We know that she sold it.

00:42:16.000 We know Veritas had it.

00:42:17.000 We know Veritas passed it off the national file.

00:42:19.000 We know national file had the diary and then reported on it and posted images.

00:42:24.000 Why would anyone assume it was fake?

00:42:26.000 The corporate press was screaming to the high heavens, no, no.

00:42:29.000 While it may be true that some woman did have it, gave it to Project Veritas, who gave it to National File, and National File did report on it, the images they published may be fake.

00:42:36.000 Therefore, unproven!

00:42:38.000 It's a ridiculous concept, but now it's Snopes confirmed! 0.98

00:42:43.000 Joe Biden seems to have taken inappropriate showers with his young daughter. 0.88

00:42:48.000 And doesn't this just remind you of the laptop?

00:42:50.000 Exactly.

00:42:51.000 This is just like the laptop.

00:42:54.000 It's not mine, it's fake, this is not real, Russian disinformation, blah blah blah, and then it's like...

00:42:59.000 Then he shows up in court, Hunter, and is like, yeah, that's my laptop.

00:43:03.000 I need it back.

00:43:04.000 And didn't he, like, sue the people who had it or something?

00:43:07.000 Yes!

00:43:08.000 That's what I'm saying!

00:43:09.000 He acts like he is the victim.

00:43:10.000 I mean, I can understand we're having your personal diary, talking about, like, you know, what seem like very traumatic times in your life.

00:43:16.000 You know, on the internet, that's not fun.

00:43:18.000 On the other hand, again, Why is the Biden family always the victim, yet also somehow everyone is responsible for everything that happens to them?

00:43:25.000 I see what you guys are saying.

00:43:27.000 She should have brought the diary to a computer repair store first, and then the computer repair store could have been like, it was left here by someone.

00:43:36.000 Well, and I'll say this, you know, for her is... I feel terrible for her.

00:43:41.000 It's awful.

00:43:42.000 This is her father. 0.86

00:43:43.000 This is insane that this man is president of the United States.

00:43:48.000 And you did have former staff members on the Hill come out and say, I was assaulted by Joe Biden when he was in the United States Senate.

00:43:57.000 And the mainstream media just killed it, just destroyed it.

00:44:00.000 Gone.

00:44:01.000 She's been disappeared, I'm sure, you know, wherever.

00:44:04.000 And that just went away.

00:44:05.000 It just went away.

00:44:06.000 And it's obviously, I mean, it's corroborated his, in my view, long history of illegal sexual behavior.

00:44:17.000 Yeah, I mean, look, this is a guy on camera who's sniffing little kids one too many times.

00:44:22.000 And then you hear this in the diary where she says that she thinks she may have been sexualized at a young age, or she was, and that she took showers with her dad.

00:44:29.000 That may be inappropriate.

00:44:31.000 And isn't it true?

00:44:33.000 Is it true that Hunter called him Peto Pete?

00:44:36.000 Was that confirmed?

00:44:37.000 Was that his name for him on his phone or something?

00:44:38.000 I'll double check.

00:44:39.000 Yeah, I think it was his name and his phone.

00:44:41.000 I don't know if that was confirmed, though.

00:44:42.000 Yeah, I don't know if it was confirmed or not either.

00:44:45.000 But I don't know.

00:44:46.000 I think we have a preponderance of evidence on old creepy Uncle Joe.

00:44:49.000 Yes.

00:44:51.000 Otherwise, the other parts of her diary that I remember seeing are like, she's talking about her marriage being chaotic, having substance issues.

00:44:58.000 Hunter has also famously struggled with addictions.

00:45:00.000 Yes.

00:45:01.000 Aside from everything else, these children of Joe Biden clearly have a lot of emotional and psychological baggage they're dealing with.

00:45:08.000 A lot of Americans do struggle with these things.

00:45:11.000 It's just interesting because you look at this family, and they're supposed to be the representation of the first family, and we say, Joe Biden's such a family man, he likes all his granddaughters or else, and it's like, all of the family around you is in chaos.

00:45:22.000 Like, something seems wrong here, you know?

00:45:25.000 Yeah.

00:45:25.000 There is a question, though, and it's public right to know.

00:45:31.000 So first and foremost, it's like, look, if you find someone's private diary, it doesn't matter if they're a public figure or not.

00:45:36.000 You shouldn't try and sell it to make money.

00:45:39.000 But there's a question of, you know, this guy, Joe Biden, wants to be president.

00:45:43.000 And if there's documented evidence from a victimized family member of, or I should say potentially victimized family member, then is there a public need to know that this is the case?

00:45:54.000 And so I suppose here it's actually pretty clean cut.

00:45:57.000 It's clear cut.

00:46:00.000 The woman who took the diary sold it, right? 0.68

00:46:03.000 They made money off it.

00:46:05.000 If she handed it off to a journalist for nothing, and then it'd be an interesting question of someone found a diary that makes allegations against the man trying to be president, accusing him of potentially assaulting children.

00:46:18.000 Maybe that's something a journalist should figure out.

00:46:21.000 But then if you try to sell it to him, it sounds like you just stole property and you're selling it for money.

00:46:27.000 So you're mentioning, you know, it's horrible for her.

00:46:31.000 But I'm curious, what do you think about that?

00:46:34.000 I mean, maybe it's not fair at all to say, but is there some kind of like public need to know when it's someone trying to become president about what his behaviors may be?

00:46:43.000 Yeah, I mean, like, when you're talking about somebody who's potentially preyed on their own kids or done something inappropriate like this, I mean, that's certainly a discussion.

00:46:53.000 Then that, coupled with these accusations of what he had done as a United States senator as well, that, remember, those just disappeared.

00:47:03.000 Those just went away.

00:47:04.000 I think that is a conversation to have.

00:47:06.000 We're certainly having it in court right now about Donald Trump.

00:47:11.000 You know, I mean, I think it's a fair conversation to have.

00:47:14.000 And, you know, look, you just mentioned right now, you know, you got his kids having substance abuse issues and obviously a lot of emotional distress and baggage and things of that nature.

00:47:27.000 I can't imagine being in a position where it's like, yeah, I can go run for president.

00:47:32.000 When your whole life, I mean, the things you're supposed to care about the most, I mean, I got kids.

00:47:38.000 And just being like, oh, their lives are falling apart.

00:47:40.000 I'm going to run for president.

00:47:42.000 I think he abuses kids.

00:47:43.000 That's my opinion.

00:47:44.000 When you look at how messed up Hunter is, when you look at the things that Ashley's writing and the things she's described in her life, I'm like, this sounds like children who are traumatized.

00:47:51.000 And then you look at the behaviors of Joe Biden and you can make assumptions.

00:47:55.000 You can you can sort of make assumptions what you think there.

00:47:57.000 So I wonder what happened to his kids based on what they allegedly call him.

00:48:03.000 And now they have serious drug and, you know, substance abuse problems.

00:48:08.000 He seems like a pretty, pretty bad guy.

00:48:11.000 Yeah.

00:48:13.000 Yeah.

00:48:13.000 It's also hard because, you know, again, it's obviously we're going to contrast him to Trump, right?

00:48:17.000 And people will go after Trump saying like, oh, he said stuff about Ivanka or like he's got he's been married three times or whatever it is.

00:48:23.000 And, you know.

00:48:26.000 I just don't think that Donald Trump's children treat him the same way Joe Biden's children treat him.

00:48:31.000 No, not even close.

00:48:32.000 And even the children that were from different marriages, from all I can see from the outside, appear to have some pretty positive relationships.

00:48:39.000 It doesn't seem like this internal chaos where one of them is like, Leaving his marriage to then be with his brother's widow.

00:48:47.000 Like, it's very chaotic in the Biden household.

00:48:50.000 And the Trump in comparison is like, again, no families are perfect.

00:48:54.000 Everyone has their own stuff.

00:48:55.000 But like, if we had to pick a first family right now, I don't think we'd pick Biden.

00:48:59.000 I think the issue at hand here is the double standard, because if it was one of Trump's kids who lost his diary or lost his laptop and it was leaked to one of these news organizations, I don't think anybody would be calling it, like, they would all believe it.

00:49:11.000 Everybody would believe it.

00:49:12.000 They wouldn't be questioning it, calling it Russian disinformation.

00:49:15.000 That would be a great scoop for the New York Times or something.

00:49:18.000 So they'd love that.

00:49:19.000 The double standard is what I think the issue is.

00:49:21.000 And it's essentially everything they said about Donald Trump is actually just true about Joe Biden.

00:49:28.000 Which is the fascinating thing here. 0.97

00:49:30.000 All these accusations about Trump and he's a terrible guy, terrible father.

00:49:34.000 That's all true on the other side. 0.99

00:49:36.000 You know, his kids are terrible.

00:49:38.000 Don Jr's great.

00:49:39.000 These are good people.

00:49:40.000 I mean, you know, they're doing good things.

00:49:43.000 Then you got the other side.

00:49:45.000 And it's, you know, look, there's been widely reported you got, you know, Hunter marrying his brother's, getting together with his brother's widow.

00:49:53.000 And I mean, it's just like... Remember the WikiLeaks thing with Don Jr?

00:49:57.000 Where it was like, they misreported the date of the email that he got to make it seem like he had advanced knowledge of WikiLeaks releases?

00:50:06.000 Right.

00:50:07.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:50:07.000 It's like, here's a dude who gets a random email from someone, and he's like, wow.

00:50:10.000 And they're like, this proves it!

00:50:12.000 And they go nuts, and they immediately got Hunter Biden the laptop.

00:50:14.000 No, no, that's not real at all.

00:50:15.000 And all these intelligence agencies have denied it.

00:50:19.000 It's, it's, it's, it's, I'm sorry.

00:50:21.000 You look at the things on that Hunter Biden laptop, and you're like, yikes.

00:50:26.000 His drug abuse, his tormented mind.

00:50:26.000 His poor guy.

00:50:30.000 He's like a, man, it's like the Burisma thing just makes me feel like Hunter is just some used and abused tool for his dad to basically operate as his proxy in these business affairs. 0.96

00:50:41.000 And then it's funny because you look at the Trump family and like you were saying, they're like well-adjusted, normal people.

00:50:47.000 I like to bring this up all the time, like if you saw Don Jr.

00:50:49.000 just like out walking around, you wouldn't know the difference between him and any other regular dude just walking around.

00:50:53.000 There's no nothing, you know, and I mean this respectfully, he's a very regular, normal dude.

00:50:58.000 Yeah, I've met him.

00:50:59.000 Yeah.

00:51:00.000 And I met him.

00:51:01.000 Hey, what's going on?

00:51:02.000 Just normal guy.

00:51:03.000 You wouldn't realize that he's the son of a billionaire, former president or anything like that.

00:51:07.000 You just think you'd met some guy.

00:51:08.000 No, he actually goes and hunts periodically down in Greenbrier County, West Virginia.

00:51:13.000 And he'll just hang out, you know?

00:51:13.000 Oh, cool.

00:51:16.000 Yeah.

00:51:16.000 And not to beat a dead horse with Joe Biden's family issues, but I think it goes underreported that Hunter Biden has another child that Joe Biden doesn't acknowledge.

00:51:25.000 Maybe.

00:51:27.000 And they came to some negotiation where the child doesn't have the Biden last name, as he was supposed to.

00:51:33.000 Her mom's the exotic dancer that he met in D.C.

00:51:36.000 So I'm not 100% up to date with all the explicit details, but it's just it's underreported and I thought that story had that.

00:51:44.000 Wait, how old is the kid?

00:51:46.000 She's like four or five.

00:51:47.000 This is like 15 years away from being a Game of Thrones storyline.

00:51:51.000 There was this thing because they were going back and forth and there was like a lot of press coverage.

00:51:55.000 I was really interested in this because I think the family is one of the most important structures that we have as a society and community.

00:52:01.000 And so again, all families have issues.

00:52:04.000 Not all families are perfect.

00:52:05.000 It's not that we are trying to hold them to a reasonable standard, but there is so much chaos with the Biden children.

00:52:11.000 that including this like daughter who he was paying child support for and then was like,

00:52:14.000 well, I don't want to pay as much, but I don't want to have my last name. She's being raised in

00:52:17.000 like Arkansas by her mom. You know, the Biden family would acknowledge that there was a point

00:52:22.000 where they were like, and we love all of our, I think it's like six grandchildren. Oh yeah.

00:52:26.000 And actually, well, part of it that I found interesting is that he is married to a South 0.89

00:52:29.000 African film producer, I think.

00:52:31.000 And they got married pretty quickly, within like two weeks of meeting each other.

00:52:34.000 And they have another young child.

00:52:35.000 So when you are looking up like Joe Biden's youngest grandchild, that's the one that's going to come up as a little boy.

00:52:40.000 And again, When he was finally through negotiating this arbitration over this poor kid's child support, Jill and Joe Biden suddenly were like, well, we love all of them, including Navy, this little girl.

00:52:53.000 It's so opportunistic, and I just think this is not the message we want to send to children in America, that when your parents acknowledge you, or if they do, it's totally at their will.

00:53:02.000 You should be valued by your parents.

00:53:04.000 Yeah, I mean, look, Biden's thirst and hunger for power has probably destroyed his family, unfortunately.

00:53:11.000 I mean, if anybody was going through a situation like this, they'd say, you know what, time out, you know, I need to go focus on my family.

00:53:17.000 But that's not what he's done.

00:53:19.000 And he's run for president multiple times.

00:53:22.000 Yep.

00:53:23.000 He's a bad guy. 0.99

00:53:24.000 Hell yeah. 0.95

00:53:24.000 Let's jump to this story. 0.95

00:53:25.000 We got huge news from Reclaim the Net.

00:53:28.000 Rumble files billion-dollar lawsuit against Google for lost ad revenue and exploiting ad tech dominance.

00:53:36.000 Rumble escalates its battle against Google with a groundbreaking $1 billion lawsuit challenging the tech giant's alleged monopolistic maneuvers in the ad tech landscape.

00:53:44.000 Before I even read the article, I want to show you the opening paragraph here from their lawsuit.

00:53:48.000 This is incredible.

00:53:49.000 They write, For its complaint against defendants and each of them, so this is Rumble Canada Inc.

00:53:54.000 versus Google LLC.

00:53:57.000 They say, check this out.

00:53:58.000 The complaint asserts claims and seeks damages and injunctive relief that are entirely separate and distinct from that being sought in the currently pending case against Google Rumble Inc.

00:54:06.000 v. Google.

00:54:08.000 The case relates primarily to Google self-preferencing its wholly-owned vertical YouTube in Google search results over links to the searched-for videos on Rumble.com and other video platforms, and various agreements that Google entered into with third parties that allow Google to dictate that the YouTube mobile app must be pre-installed on various smart devices, that the YouTube app must be given prominent placement on the smart device, and that the YouTube app cannot be deleted by the end user of the device.

00:54:38.000 I hear that right away and I'm like, oh man, judgment for Rumble on this one.

00:54:43.000 You can't even delete the app off the phone?

00:54:46.000 Oh yeah.

00:54:46.000 Wow.

00:54:47.000 So here's a story from Rumble.

00:54:50.000 The company contends that Google's actions have deprived it of significant ad earnings.

00:54:54.000 Rumble, once a Google ad client before developing its proprietary ad tech in 2022, asserts that Google's monopolistic behavior has manipulated the ad tech market to its own advantage.

00:55:04.000 According to the complaint, Google exploits significant conflicts of interest that stem from its multiple roles in this electronically traded marketplace.

00:55:12.000 It further accuses Google of skimming an undue share of advertising revenue, which should rightfully benefit publishers like Rumble and its content creators.

00:55:20.000 This is not Rumble's first legal foray against the tech giant.

00:55:24.000 In 2021, it accused Google of illegally prioritizing YouTube content in its search engine and Android operating system, which I think is absolutely true. 0.89

00:55:31.000 If you Google search a video, YouTube is shown first.

00:55:35.000 There was a funny thing that happened in the infancy of this channel.

00:55:39.000 YouTube, for whatever reason, Google, removed my TimCast channel and this channel from YouTube search.

00:55:45.000 If you typed in the title of a video, it would show you Facebook instead.

00:55:48.000 YouTube would not come up.

00:55:51.000 It's a funny move they made, which did not remove the ability of people to find my videos, it just drove them away from YouTube for whatever reason.

00:55:58.000 And I think they realized the mistake.

00:56:00.000 And then one day we were on this show, and I said that, and then as we were talking, people started chatting, your videos are back on YouTube, meaning Google was listening when we were talking about it, and they're probably listening right now.

00:56:10.000 And I'm with Rumble on this one.

00:56:13.000 Not only is it insane, this idea that the YouTube mobile app is on all the devices, it's default, it can't be deleted, YouTube reportedly, Alphabet subsidizes YouTube with extra cash to make their model function better.

00:56:29.000 The cost of running a streaming platform.

00:56:31.000 If I was going to upload a video, let's say it was one megabyte, and then, very small video, one megabyte.

00:56:38.000 Let's say it's one megabyte, and then a million people download, watch that video.

00:56:43.000 That's a million megabytes down.

00:56:44.000 I've gotta spend that money.

00:56:46.000 YouTube subsidizes this.

00:56:47.000 No user of YouTube, like us right now live streaming, we don't see the cost going up to 38,000 people, which is massive, and we're streaming at like eight megabits per second.

00:56:56.000 a massive cost absorbed by YouTube so that they can maintain monopolistic control.

00:57:01.000 This means that Rumble is never going to be able to compete.

00:57:06.000 They've got these massive costs, and if they do, if they sell ads on their network, they're

00:57:11.000 not going to be able to run it the same percentage YouTube does, presumably. That being said, in

00:57:17.000 full transparency, should Rumble win this one, it could upend the YouTube

00:57:21.000 ecosystem massively.

00:57:24.000 If Google is forced to split their ad company out of the Google network or YouTube and separate them, and then Google's ad network, AdWords, if they're forced to serve all video platforms, including Rumble, That means the YouTuber share of revenue is probably going to drop dramatically and it's going to massively alter the landscape.

00:57:45.000 The good news is, it means there will be massive competition for alternative video platforms.

00:57:52.000 It means that advertisers will still have a choice if they want to appear on certain content.

00:57:56.000 But it would mean that Rumble would become a viable contender in serving ads because YouTube couldn't lock anybody out.

00:58:01.000 It means that people on YouTube will probably end up losing a lot of money.

00:58:06.000 Full disclosure, I have about 10 grand in Google stock, so before we get into it, I wanted to say that.

00:58:12.000 I think it makes sense that YouTube's search results would come higher on Google than Rumble would.

00:58:19.000 The issue with Rumble is that they're an echo chamber, unfortunately, because they're not reaching that critical massive audience.

00:58:26.000 Good luck in their lawsuit against Google.

00:58:27.000 They have some of the best lawyers in the game, I hope.

00:58:30.000 I agree and disagree with the echo chamber idea.

00:58:33.000 YouTube's an echo chamber.

00:58:35.000 YouTube's dominated by liberal politics.

00:58:37.000 I think there's so many more categories than, like, even just outside of politics.

00:58:41.000 Rumble has poker.

00:58:42.000 Rumble has skateboarding.

00:58:45.000 Rumble, like, if I pull up RumbleNet right now, they have SLS.

00:58:49.000 Yeah, but like, I'm thinking about the amount of views, amount of videos, amount of communities that exist on the platform.

00:58:55.000 Well, it's a small company.

00:58:56.000 Yeah.

00:58:56.000 It's hard.

00:58:57.000 YouTube is massive.

00:58:58.000 I mean, they've led the way on this video thing for a long time, and they have content that I don't know that Rumble has yet.

00:59:05.000 But you're right, it's really hard to go up against Google.

00:59:08.000 Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, though, Monopolistic type endeavors are always bad for innovation.

00:59:08.000 I mean, Google's intense.

00:59:17.000 Yeah, they just are, right?

00:59:19.000 Is Rumble even innovating though?

00:59:21.000 They really just a copy and paste of YouTube.

00:59:24.000 The real innovator would be like TikTok and their algorithm because that's a video platform.

00:59:28.000 If YouTube had a monopoly then...

00:59:30.000 I'll just say real quick, Rumble is dominated by news and podcasts.

00:59:34.000 Definitely, yeah.

00:59:35.000 But on YouTube, there's a lot of, not politics, there's a lot of just normie, regular content, I don't know, cooking, cleaning.

00:59:42.000 All of the mommy vloggers are on YouTube.

00:59:45.000 Just lifestyle vloggers.

00:59:47.000 Travel.

00:59:47.000 Just a bunch of normie, regular stuff.

00:59:50.000 Rumble's definitely dominated by the political scene, and you know, that was kind of their angle, like the free speech platform.

00:59:55.000 But I don't know if they're innovating, I don't know if they're bringing anything new to the table besides A little bit more alleged free speech.

01:00:01.000 The issue though, right, if they're stymied on how much advertising dollars they can have, they have a lack of capital formation in terms of how they can try to innovate within that technology because they're not able to raise the capital to do it.

01:00:13.000 Now this might help them do that or help somebody else do that and then we could become perhaps and some other platform comes up that's even better than YouTube.

01:00:23.000 I don't know.

01:00:26.000 The monopoly aspect of it, I think, is problematic.

01:00:29.000 YouTube obviously is a juggernaut.

01:00:31.000 I mean, there's no doubt about it.

01:00:32.000 I mean, it's got everything on there.

01:00:34.000 Right.

01:00:35.000 What do you think West Virginia's role in terms of technology innovation is?

01:00:40.000 Because at one point, this is sort of an off-topic question, but at one point I had seen that Wyoming was pushing to become sort of the crypto mining capital of the world because they have so much coal.

01:00:49.000 Where is West Virginia in sort of all of this?

01:00:49.000 Yeah.

01:00:52.000 Because I've also known that West Virginia struggles with internet infrastructure.

01:00:55.000 Yeah, so we have talked to some crypto people, particularly miners.

01:01:07.000 Because we have excess energy.

01:01:08.000 We have a massive amount of excess energy in West Virginia, particularly from coal and natural gas, and we generally export it out of states, and then they consume it, and we make money off that, and that's great, and it goes over the transmission lines.

01:01:21.000 But because of that excess energy, we were thinking, and as we've talked to some of these Bitcoin miners, things like that, is They do a lot of that in Texas, and which doesn't make a lot of sense because of the heat, right?

01:01:34.000 So, I mean, they're running all these computations and these servers have a tendency to overheat.

01:01:40.000 What we were looking at doing was trying to put these in abandoned coal mines, which on average are about 55 degrees.

01:01:47.000 They're quite a bit cooler.

01:01:49.000 Put those servers down there and then let it run off the energy that we're generating from the coal-fired power plants and things like that and the excess energy that we have and they could get it really cheap.

01:01:59.000 So this is a conversation we've been having a lot with different cryptocurrency companies, Bitcoin miners, things like that.

01:02:07.000 So it is something that we're trying to incentivize and or rather enter in conversations with them to say,

01:02:16.000 look, West Virginia is a great place to do this.

01:02:18.000 We got a good climate for it.

01:02:20.000 We got excess energy.

01:02:22.000 And we certainly are a place that believes a lot in freedom and we were not going to bother you.

01:02:27.000 Because I wonder about that.

01:02:29.000 You know, I moved up to West Virginia a couple years ago.

01:02:31.000 I think it's great.

01:02:32.000 Really, the credit to it more than anything else is the people.

01:02:34.000 The culture is really special.

01:02:36.000 But I remember, especially during COVID, the conversation was, you know, especially students were going homes.

01:02:41.000 In southern parts of West Virginia, there's just not access to internet at home.

01:02:44.000 Or I was at a video store, you know, one of these places where you rent the DVDs.

01:02:48.000 And the person was like, well, people come down from their homes on the mountain and They rent the DVDs they have for the week, and then they go home, and the next time they come to go grocery shopping or whatever, they return them.

01:02:57.000 I mean, life is slightly different when you have a geographical challenge, but in some ways, because you have the coal mines, there are benefits to it.

01:03:04.000 There are benefits, and we are in the middle of an expansion of broadband internet right now, billions of dollars going into that throughout the state of West Virginia, RDOF grants and things like that, and the state has been able to ensure the construction of that, underwriting

01:03:21.000 it essentially, because these companies aren't collateralized enough to be able to take

01:03:24.000 on the loans. And so we're underwriting those. Actually, that is your state treasurer that's doing

01:03:28.000 that. That's me. And which I'm very happy to do, because the problem is you got this last mile,

01:03:34.000 right?

01:03:35.000 That's so expensive.

01:03:36.000 Some house that's down in some hall or somewhere, then it's it doesn't make financial sense for that private company to do that.

01:03:43.000 And because it's in my view, this is a essentially a public utility, right?

01:03:49.000 Like a road or phone line or this or that.

01:03:52.000 And we need to treat it like that.

01:03:54.000 So everybody has greater access around the state of West Virginia.

01:03:56.000 But rural broadband is it's expensive.

01:03:59.000 It is.

01:04:00.000 But I think it's something that we need to do as a state and something that we've been

01:04:04.000 constantly pushing on and we got a lot of stuff under construction right now.

01:04:08.000 And do you think broadband is sort of the next milestone for economic development in West Virginia?

01:04:15.000 That's my impression a lot of the time.

01:04:16.000 Yeah, the thing is you can't...

01:04:18.000 We've had a lot of economic development over the last several years,

01:04:22.000 but it is critical.

01:04:24.000 We have to have it.

01:04:25.000 We have to have broadband to be able to, particularly in the southern coal fields, where there's such a lack of it and opportunity, but people want To remote work in places that are cheap to live, great people like you mentioned.

01:04:38.000 We got the greatest people I think in the whole country and a great kind of lifestyle and a lot of natural beauty and a lot of things you can do and that's why we're hoping to bring those remote workers in.

01:04:49.000 We do have an Ascend program.

01:04:50.000 It's called Ascend West Virginia that if you are a remote worker we will literally pay you to move here.

01:04:57.000 So anybody listening go to ascendwv.com I think is the website and We auction off different slots around the whole state throughout the year.

01:05:09.000 And if you're a remote worker, I think we'll pay you, if I remember correctly, $15,000 to move to the state of West Virginia, $12,000, something like that.

01:05:17.000 So we'll help pay your moving costs.

01:05:19.000 The whole nine yards give you money.

01:05:21.000 Come to West Virginia.

01:05:22.000 Right on.

01:05:23.000 Let's jump to this next story.

01:05:24.000 It's the big one, ladies and gentlemen.

01:05:25.000 GameStop stock is back.

01:05:27.000 The meme stocks and the stonks, whatever you want to call them, GameStop surges more than 110% as Roaring Kitty makes surprise comeback with Cryptic Post.

01:05:38.000 GameStop shares surged as much as 110% on Monday after Roaring Kitty, the day trader who played a key role in the so-called meme stock rally of 2021, made a surprise comeback on social media, putting the squeeze on short sellers who lost $1 billion because of the rally.

01:05:54.000 The meme was viewed 20 million times.

01:05:56.000 He posted this picture of a gamer leaning forward as if he's getting serious.

01:06:01.000 Just by posting this, well, let's pull this up on Axie, see what the total engagement is so far.

01:06:07.000 It's got 21.8 million views, 10,000 replies, 20,000 retweets, 107,000 likes, 5,200 bookmarks.

01:06:16.000 This is the guy that started the meme stock craze in the first place.

01:06:20.000 And so it looks like it is happening again.

01:06:23.000 GameStop is surging.

01:06:26.000 And so, for those that aren't familiar with what happened back in 2021, this also has a huge impact on DJT stock.

01:06:32.000 Let me see if I can pull up DJT on, here we go.

01:06:36.000 We got it right here.

01:06:37.000 We'll pull up the old Trump stock.

01:06:40.000 Here it is.

01:06:40.000 So something interesting happened when I met Donald Trump back in Mar-a-Lago.

01:06:44.000 He mentioned that, I'm sorry, Bill Pulte was talking about the Trump DJT stock going down.

01:06:51.000 And Trump said, you know, they're trying to short us.

01:06:52.000 They're trying to force our stock to collapse.

01:06:55.000 And it's really interesting because I had stated before uh, before, uh, the, the, the price drop that I thought

01:07:04.000 Trump supporters will buy stock and DJT just to have it. It's fun. That's what I did. I bought

01:07:09.000 about a dozen shares because I was like, it's fun to just have it just to have some Trump stock. And

01:07:13.000 then it dropped down to a low of, I think, $22 and 55 cents from a high previously of 70,

01:07:22.000 just about $72.

01:07:23.000 And so right then I was like, wow, I guess I was wrong.

01:07:27.000 I really thought it was Trump supporters who would not give up this stock.

01:07:32.000 And I assumed it was people buying it for fun.

01:07:34.000 As it turns out, when I was talking to Trump, he mentioned they're short selling it.

01:07:37.000 It was an attack by institutional investors to destroy the value of the Trump stock, to hurt Trump's base, and to hurt Trump and profit off of it.

01:07:46.000 The price has since rebounded easily to $52.

01:07:50.000 So apparently this was a short sale attack on Donald Trump.

01:07:54.000 This is basically what GameStop was.

01:07:56.000 These big institutional investors were buying shorts, basically a bet that a stock will fail.

01:08:02.000 And because of it, it makes the stock fail because everyone's watching it and they're like, wow,

01:08:06.000 why are they betting the stock to fail? So what happens with GameStop is all of these people on

01:08:10.000 the internet, retail investors, meaning just regular old people, started buying the shares

01:08:15.000 to drive the price up. And for those that aren't familiar with how a short sale works,

01:08:20.000 I try to keep it as simple as possible, but it involves three parties.

01:08:25.000 I borrow one share from Hannah Clare, tell her I'll give her the share back in a week, don't worry about it.

01:08:30.000 I then sell the share to Elad for, let's say, a hundred bucks.

01:08:34.000 I'm hoping that by next week the share price has collapsed.

01:08:38.000 Let's say a week later the price of the share is now $10.

01:08:42.000 I got $100 cash.

01:08:43.000 I go and then buy a share for $10 and give the share back to Anna Claire, pocketing the $90 difference.

01:08:49.000 But if you short a stock And then the price starts going up.

01:08:55.000 That means you're holding $100 cash, but now you need $200 to buy the share to give back to the person who lent it to you.

01:09:00.000 Long story short, the more people buy GameStop, the more billionaires lose money.

01:09:06.000 Andrew Tate got in on it and said, diamond hands, that he's going to put in something like $2 million.

01:09:10.000 Someone tweeted at him, you're going to lose $2 million just to screw some guy to billions?

01:09:15.000 And he said, yes.

01:09:17.000 And that's basically what we're seeing right now.

01:09:19.000 It's funny, for all Occupy Wall Street is, and for all the left claims to be, this is

01:09:23.000 one of the most effective actual Robin Hood-style campaigns that we've ever seen.

01:09:29.000 I think they halted trading, which is significant.

01:09:34.000 I'm not a big stock guy.

01:09:36.000 Full disclosure, I have zero stocks of GameStop.

01:09:39.000 But yeah, they halted trading, which was significant.

01:09:41.000 They also did this last time when it shot up.

01:09:44.000 Because it was too volatile.

01:09:47.000 And then I think with Robin Hood, I think everyone knows what Robin Hood is, right?

01:09:51.000 It's an app where you can trade very easily.

01:09:53.000 It used to be difficult.

01:09:54.000 You needed a brokerage account, you needed a broker or something, and then they made it very easy where you just use Robinhood.

01:09:59.000 I think the way Robinhood works though is that They're basically a company with brokers, and when you buy things on their app, you're not really buying it.

01:10:09.000 You're just instructing them to buy something like that.

01:10:11.000 I thought it was they sell the data of the trades that you make to those big hedge funds.

01:10:16.000 That's how they make money. 0.52

01:10:17.000 Oh, that's how, yeah.

01:10:18.000 But my understanding is that if you go on Robin and you say, like, I want to buy one share, you only technically have the share, and that's how you're able to buy share fragments.

01:10:25.000 Oh, I see.

01:10:25.000 You can buy, like, 0.3 of a share or something because it's actually held by Robinhood and you're, like, staking a claim in their share or something like that.

01:10:32.000 I don't know.

01:10:33.000 I could be wrong.

01:10:34.000 It sounds like what that situation was with, like, Bitcoin wallets where you thought you were buying them but you only had, like, a proxy of them or something.

01:10:40.000 Yeah, so, like, crypto wallets, a lot of people don't realize, because they go to an exchange, they'll buy it and they think they have the money and it's like, well, yeah, but the account is held by that company.

01:10:52.000 So everybody was saying, like, You doing that is kind of like going to a coin shop and asking them to hold your cash for you because you trust them as opposed to putting the cash in your pocket or storing it in a safe in your closet.

01:11:03.000 Sometimes banks make sense, but these aren't banks.

01:11:06.000 You know, these exchanges are, uh, they're, they're exchanges and your money sitting on it could disappear overnight.

01:11:11.000 I think there was one infamous one, BitConnect, among many of, uh, where they eventually went under.

01:11:17.000 A whole bunch of them imploded and people lost all their money.

01:11:20.000 Do you think Americans are financially literate enough just to survive in the economic landscape that we have

01:11:25.000 today?

01:11:26.000 Like I think when most people talk about stocks, even with the internet, the meme stocks,

01:11:30.000 I think that was a motivator for a lot of people to learn about the stock market.

01:11:34.000 Otherwise, it's sort of just noise that's on in the background.

01:11:36.000 Yeah, it's a very different environment than it was even 30, 40 years ago, right?

01:11:41.000 I mean, you have computer programs and all that that are working on algorithms as it relates to stock trading and all of that.

01:11:49.000 I mean, which is faster than the human mind obviously can compute where that investment is.

01:11:55.000 Trying to formulate what the next ETF is going to be or this or that and so obviously the billionaire class has a massive advantage here and that's why this thing is so interesting because they're kind of if you don't think these guys the billionaire short stock market all that they do that all the time.

01:12:14.000 Do you think people should be banned from trading stocks?

01:12:18.000 Yes, I do.

01:12:19.000 Okay, interesting.

01:12:20.000 Could you explain why?

01:12:20.000 I mean, just so we get the... Yeah, well, so just for me, I'll say as the state treasurer of West Virginia currently, I hold no stocks.

01:12:29.000 I liquidated everything I had when I got elected just because I thought, you know what, I don't even want any sense of impropriety or anything like that.

01:12:36.000 So you don't have any investments or is it just in real, you know, you're completely divested?

01:12:40.000 I got 401k.

01:12:41.000 You know, but I'm not actively managing that.

01:12:44.000 And, you know, but, uh, but you're not day trading.

01:12:48.000 No, I'm not day trading.

01:12:50.000 Have I day traded my life?

01:12:51.000 Yes.

01:12:52.000 Yes, I have.

01:12:53.000 But I haven't done that as state treasurer.

01:12:54.000 Now, in Congress, they're privy to so much information that the average individual is not, that they do have an informational advantage as it relates to the stock market.

01:13:06.000 I just, to me, could they put this, you know, their stocks in trust or something like that and have some outside entity manage some?

01:13:14.000 Sure, yeah, that's fine.

01:13:17.000 But the day trading aspect of it that's going on there, I think that's wrong.

01:13:22.000 You know, putting, you know, shares of some company, like you might have some guy that gets elected to Congress and owns shares in his own company.

01:13:30.000 I'm not saying divest, you know, liquid out of that, but put it into a trust, have it, you know, passively managed or something outside, not where they can actively manage it.

01:13:39.000 Can I ask, why do you think so many Congress people then are still doing these trades?

01:13:43.000 They do have to disclose it.

01:13:44.000 Yes.

01:13:45.000 And, you know, it's a bad look for them, but they're still engaging in this.

01:13:48.000 So why do you think they continue to do so?

01:13:50.000 I think, in their view, just my guess.

01:13:53.000 I don't know.

01:13:54.000 But most people aren't paying attention.

01:13:56.000 Most people aren't paying attention.

01:13:58.000 I mean... And they don't understand.

01:13:59.000 I think that's part of the issue.

01:14:01.000 Yeah.

01:14:02.000 I don't know if you know that Twitter account, Unusual Whales on VEX.

01:14:05.000 Yeah.

01:14:05.000 Great account there.

01:14:07.000 And Quiver Quantitative.

01:14:08.000 Yep, yeah, that's another one.

01:14:09.000 They do a great job on that.

01:14:11.000 I mean, basically almost every member of Congress is beating, like, the S&P 500, right?

01:14:17.000 Dramatically, yeah.

01:14:17.000 Yeah, I mean, like, they're crushing it.

01:14:18.000 I mean, that's, like, they're better than Warren Buffett at this.

01:14:22.000 I think there's an issue here with, um, this is gonna sound bad, but, like, And obviously the way to make more income isn't by being

01:14:28.000 corrupt, but if we're trying to attract the best talent to come to Washington, paying them, what is it, roughly 200?

01:14:35.000 I think it's 175, 174.

01:14:37.000 If you're genuinely talented, I mean that's a lot of money, period, but for a lot of the best talent in the country, if

01:14:43.000 you want to attract them over, 170-something dollars is not going to cut it.

01:14:47.000 And obviously it's not popular to say Congress deserves a raise or senators deserve a raise.

01:14:52.000 But I think there is something to be said about if we are trying to attract the best talent.

01:14:57.000 You know, obviously, there's something to be said about it, where, you know, say you're

01:15:02.000 a United States senator, and you're cruising around the halls, the United States Senate

01:15:06.000 meeting with like billionaires all the time, and all these people that are highly successful,

01:15:09.000 and you're making 174 grand a year, which is probably more of a comment on some of the type

01:15:17.000 of people we're electing, right, that they think that they should be on some equal footing, not

01:15:21.000 only in terms of power, prestige, but also money. That's not why you should be doing these jobs,

01:15:26.000 just to be clear. But yeah, I mean, it's like, if you could get paid three, four or five times as

01:15:32.000 much in the private sector, and then you go work for the government just to what constantly get

01:15:37.000 slandered and have to deal with all the consequences. A lot.

01:15:40.000 Do you know how much Caitlin Clark is going to make per year?

01:15:44.000 Um, like 80k, but a lot more in advertisements, I believe.

01:15:47.000 Exactly.

01:15:48.000 The people who get the job of Congress are not thinking about 174k.

01:15:48.000 Okay.

01:15:53.000 They're thinking it's a job that pays 174k with a bonus structure of insider trading.

01:15:58.000 Yeah.

01:15:59.000 And then after the fact, you get hired by, you get put on every board.

01:16:02.000 Oh yeah.

01:16:03.000 Boeing's waiting.

01:16:04.000 Yeah, you go get on the boards.

01:16:05.000 But then they wouldn't have to, it should be banned to begin with, but obviously Congress isn't going to ban itself from trading stocks.

01:16:11.000 But I, Yeah, well, I will tell you this, point blank, if that bill were to come up, I'd absolutely vote for it.

01:16:19.000 And you know, look, if, but just to be clear, if there's somebody who has, you're gonna have to disconnect yourself from any securities that you own.

01:16:28.000 It has to be, you know, passively managed by somebody else.

01:16:31.000 You can't be connected to that.

01:16:33.000 You can't be day trading and sharing information with that money manager.

01:16:36.000 I mean, that's what Trump had to do, right?

01:16:37.000 With the Trump organization.

01:16:38.000 Yes.

01:16:39.000 There is also something I think to be said about if you're already a millionaire and you're very well off, then you're not worried about the pay.

01:16:45.000 So we're creating a bias towards rich people in Congress as well.

01:16:48.000 Not that rich people are bad.

01:16:49.000 I love rich people.

01:16:50.000 I think rich people are great.

01:16:52.000 But there is a bias then, because if you're broke, then you will struggle to have two homes, one in D.C.

01:16:56.000 and one in your district, if you're only making that much.

01:16:59.000 And that is a lot of members of Congress.

01:17:02.000 Many of them who are not these corrupt traders, insider trading and all that stuff.

01:17:08.000 And I believe it's well known, many of these members sleep in their congressional offices.

01:17:13.000 Yeah, they sleep in their offices.

01:17:14.000 You're not supposed to do that, but there's no one who's going to kick you out, so they do it anyway.

01:17:19.000 Yeah, and the price of real estate in Washington, D.C.

01:17:21.000 So it's like, what are they going to do?

01:17:22.000 Like, buy like a million dollar condo or whatever?

01:17:24.000 There's an old video of Senator Schumer joking around with another one of his Democratic colleagues.

01:17:30.000 And like, they were joking around about living in this dump of a house in D.C.

01:17:34.000 And it was just a shocking video.

01:17:36.000 It felt like they were lying about it, though.

01:17:37.000 It felt like they were just showing it to be like, oh, look how poor we're pretending to be.

01:17:40.000 But yeah, I suppose the easy thing for you is that we're like an hour from D.C.

01:17:43.000 as it is.

01:17:44.000 Oh yeah, I'm gonna either drive in or take the train.

01:17:46.000 Easy.

01:17:47.000 You know, I hate to say it, but hate and love to say it.

01:17:47.000 Yeah, just cruise in.

01:17:53.000 I look forward to you being another member of the good members of Congress who are doing the right thing.

01:17:59.000 And I also hate to say it because it's such a small group of people.

01:18:02.000 It's frustrating sometimes, you know?

01:18:04.000 It is.

01:18:05.000 And I really appreciate that.

01:18:06.000 And, you know, I mean, it just depends on the motivations, I think, of why you're doing this.

01:18:10.000 And you do see people that are living there, broke, sleeping in their offices and doing it for the right reasons.

01:18:16.000 And then you got some people that apparently, somehow, magically are better at trading stocks than Warren Buffett.

01:18:22.000 I gotta give it to Nancy Pelosi. 1.00

01:18:24.000 She's a killer. 1.00

01:18:25.000 When she opened up that freezer drawer with all that Jenny's ice cream, that was, she had balls to do that. 1.00

01:18:32.000 At a time when people are suffering.

01:18:33.000 It was like during the lockdown and stuff.

01:18:35.000 And she's like, look at all my $15 ice cream.

01:18:38.000 It's like, wow.

01:18:39.000 She had like this $30,000 Sub-Z fridge. 0.96

01:18:42.000 Like, yeah.

01:18:43.000 She's like, I'm relatable, right?

01:18:44.000 This makes me look relatable.

01:18:45.000 She's like, my husband's just so good at the stock market.

01:18:48.000 I don't know how that happens.

01:18:49.000 It's just the best.

01:18:50.000 There are two members of Congress who are co-owners of Major League Baseball teams.

01:18:55.000 I always think that's kind of funny.

01:18:56.000 No, really?

01:18:57.000 Oh yeah.

01:18:58.000 I can't remember who it is.

01:18:59.000 I'll find it in a second or I might have to tell you during the after show.

01:19:01.000 But it is interesting because obviously you would have a variety of incomes pre-Congress.

01:19:08.000 You don't want it to be only one type of people.

01:19:10.000 On the other hand, if you make it impossible to Stay in this career like any like you have a young family you have to decide like is this service worth it or am I taking too much of a financial hit?

01:19:21.000 Am I not being able to provide for the people who depend on me the most which are my children and you know my spouse.

01:19:25.000 A big sacrifice for what and especially in a time where I think we're seeing a lot of congressmen resign generally.

01:19:31.000 Oh yeah yeah.

01:19:32.000 There's a long list of them.

01:19:33.000 No, there's a lot of them resigning.

01:19:35.000 And I mean, part of it, too, is just kind of, look, if you want to get into public service, like, just right-sizing your life.

01:19:41.000 I have a very modest home.

01:19:43.000 I don't really own anything, just other than our house.

01:19:47.000 And you're going to be happy about it.

01:19:48.000 Yeah, and I'm happy about it.

01:19:50.000 All right, let's jump to this next story from the New York Post.

01:19:53.000 Steve Buscemi spotted with black eye, swollen face after random New York City attack.

01:20:00.000 I'm going to be completely honest with all of you guys.

01:20:03.000 When I was watching Fox News and they announced this story, I started laughing.

01:20:08.000 This is a guy who made a video for the Daily Wire.

01:20:11.000 I believe it was him.

01:20:13.000 I don't wish any harm on Steve.

01:20:15.000 I'm a fan.

01:20:15.000 I like his work.

01:20:16.000 His 30 Rock meme, his appearance where he was a private investigator and he goes to the high school and he's like, how do you do fellow kids?

01:20:22.000 This guy's got some great work behind his belt.

01:20:27.000 He went on The Daily Show, and I believe it was him, and provided a voiceover for the segment, Biden Perfectly Adequate Under the Circumstances, where they basically did this joke where Trump was so bad that even though Biden was bad, it was perfectly acceptable.

01:20:48.000 It was perfectly adequate.

01:20:51.000 And so, you know, I don't I don't want to put the weight of all of the weird crime we're seeing just on Joe Biden, but it's on the Democrats as a whole.

01:20:58.000 Yeah.

01:20:58.000 Perfectly adequate.

01:21:00.000 What was so what was what was so bad under Trump?

01:21:02.000 I think what I can really say is I don't mean to belittle the fact some guy attacked him.

01:21:05.000 That's horrifying.

01:21:07.000 But I hope people like Steve wake up now and realize all of that propaganda about under Trump, it was the worst country, the country was in dire straits.

01:21:15.000 It was the worst thing imaginable.

01:21:17.000 Can truly now understand it was actually pretty good.

01:21:20.000 It was really good.

01:21:21.000 We're just talking about the stock market.

01:21:22.000 I mean, remember what your 401k looked like then.

01:21:26.000 Doing pretty well under Donald Trump.

01:21:28.000 The best numbers of our lives.

01:21:30.000 It's funny because that's what Jim Cramer said.

01:21:30.000 Yes.

01:21:33.000 And you know what it means when Jim Cramer says something?

01:21:35.000 The opposite then happens.

01:21:36.000 Yes, correct.

01:21:37.000 And after he says this, the next administration gives us Joe Biden and...

01:21:41.000 I think a lot of these incidents in New York City are particularly unfortunate because these are preventable in my belief, but there just isn't the political will in the city to prevent crimes like this.

01:21:53.000 There's like a top hundred worst offenders who commit like 80 or 90 percent of the crimes in the city.

01:21:59.000 If there was the political will to deal with the worst criminals, we'd see a dramatic decrease in attacks like this.

01:22:05.000 Many of these attackers are repeat offenders, but Because of some soft on crime policies because of a lot of different reasons because of how democratic the city is people just don't want to deal with the issues like this and

01:22:18.000 If you're not in the right mental capacity, if you're a drug addict, if you're a homeless person on the street, we need to have a responsible way to do outreach to you.

01:22:25.000 And allowing you to fester and have manic episodes and attack others on the street isn't ethical, it's not moral to you, to the person, or any of these victims.

01:22:34.000 So, I think it's unfortunate because these are preventable in my estimation.

01:22:38.000 I mean, you live there.

01:22:39.000 Yeah, I mean...

01:22:41.000 Just outside observer, I mean, wouldn't you say crime is worse in New York than it's been?

01:22:45.000 I think there's something to say about if you look like a stereotypical easy lick, then you're more likely to get attacked.

01:22:51.000 That is, like, if you look like... He looks like an old man who can't defend himself. 1.00

01:22:57.000 If you're a woman, if you're an Asian, you're more likely to be, I think, picked on, unfortunately, by bullies in the city. 0.99

01:23:07.000 And we have opportunities to stop this.

01:23:09.000 We in New York City elected a cop mayor, Eric Adams, a former cop mayor, and he's putting more people on the subway.

01:23:16.000 At one time the National Guard was supposed to come in with Kathy Hochul on the subway and whatnot, but it's a real issue we're seeing.

01:23:22.000 I just figured, you know, because you live up there, you like living dangerously, you know, you're an adrenaline junkie, and you're replacing skydiving with walking the streets of New York.

01:23:31.000 I mean, it's really the cultural mecca, I think, of the United States.

01:23:35.000 It really is the epicenter, I think, of the United States, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

01:23:39.000 I used to think that.

01:23:42.000 I did think that, too.

01:23:43.000 I remember the first time I went to New York, and it depends on the culture, but Los Angeles, of course, is massive.

01:23:48.000 Nashville's massive for music, and New York is, of course, massive for a lot of things.

01:23:53.000 And I went to New York for the first time, and it was Occupy Wall Street.

01:23:57.000 First time I drove across, man, I don't even remember what I drove across.

01:24:00.000 It must have been The Brooklyn Bridge or something?

01:24:03.000 No, it wouldn't have been the Brooklyn Bridge.

01:24:05.000 I don't remember.

01:24:06.000 All I know is I remember looking up at the city and thinking, like, man, this is crazy how big this place is.

01:24:11.000 Yeah, yeah, I think it was Brooklyn.

01:24:12.000 I think I went south through, like, Staten Island into Brooklyn or something.

01:24:16.000 And once there, the amount of available opportunity was massive.

01:24:22.000 And then after a couple years, it started to not be.

01:24:25.000 And then there were a few bombings, there were riots, things started to get more and more unstable.

01:24:30.000 And then it sort of flattened out.

01:24:32.000 And that's when I was like, New York is no longer offering what it was, you know, four years ago.

01:24:38.000 I'd been in New York for like four or five years.

01:24:40.000 And I was like, now it's just, there's not much going on.

01:24:44.000 It's sort of flattened out, especially with the internet.

01:24:46.000 A lot of people are working in, you know, other places.

01:24:50.000 And then with the riots and the crime, There were a couple bombings.

01:24:53.000 A bombing in Manhattan on like 25th Street.

01:24:54.000 I'm just like, I'm gonna go to Jersey.

01:24:58.000 And then slowly moved further and further away.

01:25:00.000 Now I would argue...

01:25:03.000 New York is a cultural mecca.

01:25:05.000 It's the anti-culture.

01:25:06.000 It is the mecca of the destruction of this country, and I find the culture of New York to be akin to walking through a swamp.

01:25:16.000 It's not the swamp.

01:25:17.000 That one's, you know, what do we got, like 60 miles due east.

01:25:20.000 But New York is a different kind of disgusting slime-filled bog with monsters lurking in streets and brave adventurers like Elad carrying a torch through the wilderness.

01:25:29.000 So, I don't think New York City is for the faint of heart, but I think, in my estimation, Brooklyn alone, the borough of Brooklyn alone, is better than most cities.

01:25:37.000 I don't know if that's selling Tim on anything because he hates cities.

01:25:40.000 No, it's a city that voted for a cop mayor who's still a Democrat who's still not solving any problems.

01:25:45.000 There are a ton of issues in New York City, and there's no denying that, but here's the thing.

01:25:49.000 The highest paying jobs in the country are in New York City.

01:25:52.000 If you want to make it on Broadway, you're in New York City.

01:25:55.000 If you want to make it in fashion, you're in New York City.

01:25:57.000 If you want to make it as a hotshot lawyer, all the best and biggest law firms are in New York City.

01:26:02.000 Everything.

01:26:02.000 All the relevant things.

01:26:04.000 This is the thing that I love about like native New Yorkers.

01:26:07.000 I have a family friend.

01:26:08.000 He's like, she's from New York.

01:26:09.000 Everyone, her family's always been from New York.

01:26:10.000 They live like, you know, right in the heart of Manhattan.

01:26:13.000 And she was like, well, New York is the center of the universe.

01:26:15.000 Like, I wish more places felt as proud of where they are as like native New Yorkers who are like, everything good happens from the city.

01:26:22.000 And even though people are getting punched on the street, I will defend it.

01:26:26.000 Like, I think it's interesting.

01:26:27.000 At least he's still alive.

01:26:28.000 He didn't get shot.

01:26:29.000 And what if more states had cities that, like, people were like, no, that's the best place, I'm gonna live there until I die.

01:26:35.000 Like, we would stop seeing this mass, actually I know that's something West Virginia struggles with, of young people who are like, there's no opportunity here. 0.83

01:26:41.000 Like, I wish there were more cities in the country that, you know, even mid-size cities where people are like, this is the best place and I want to be here.

01:26:48.000 The opportunity availability in New York has gone way down and the cost of living has gone way up.

01:26:52.000 It's no longer, so, when I left, it was at the point where I was in a one bedroom but they called a two bedroom because they put up a wall in so you had a kitchen and you had a bedroom and they sectioned off part of the kitchen into another bedroom and called it a two bedroom.

01:27:10.000 And I'm like, so where's the living room?

01:27:12.000 The kitchen?

01:27:13.000 Yeah.

01:27:13.000 Okay, sure.

01:27:14.000 I think if you're a young man, the gender ratio in New York City is already like 60-40, and then amongst those... 60-40 male to female?

01:27:21.000 Yeah.

01:27:22.000 60% female, 40% male. 0.69

01:27:24.000 And then among the males, about 25% of them are gay.

01:27:27.000 So your numbers in New York City are really good.

01:27:30.000 So if you're a young man and want to go on a quick adventure, a few years in and out, you know, if you can make it in New York City, you can make it anywhere.

01:27:36.000 Right.

01:27:36.000 And the best thing is the moral predisposition of these women means you're not gonna have

01:27:42.000 any kids even if you wanted to.

01:27:43.000 You could rescue them in New York City.

01:27:45.000 You rescue them and then you leave.

01:27:46.000 When I was there, I had this very small apartment, a couple hundred, I mean,

01:27:52.000 it was very small. It was two rooms and a kitchen. And it was relatively small and it was 2100 bucks

01:27:58.000 a month. And then when I left, when my lease ended, it jumped up to like 2350. And because

01:28:06.000 I knew the person who actually moved in, I met him later and they were like, it's 2350 now and

01:28:10.000 and I was like, wow.

01:28:12.000 I was like just right away up couple hundred bucks and it's probably three something now or more

01:28:15.000 But no one's making that much money in the city. So the opportunities down the cost are way up

01:28:20.000 You look at this city and I wouldn't be surprised if you're you're correct. It's probably mostly women 1.00

01:28:25.000 For for uh, for whatever especially in the younger demographic. Yeah, there was a funny post

01:28:30.000 I saw an ex where a woman said went to a she went to a frat party

01:28:33.000 and the dude started playing the national anthem and waving american flags and all the women got silent and started

01:28:38.000 looking around at each other and And that's actually what we're seeing.

01:28:41.000 Women overwhelmingly leftist, men becoming overwhelmingly right. 0.90

01:28:45.000 That split's happening.

01:28:46.000 So considering the politics of New York, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.

01:28:49.000 And then perhaps that could explain why the crime is so high.

01:28:53.000 There's less men who are working the public response, police, firefighters, etc.

01:29:02.000 More women walking the streets. 0.87

01:29:03.000 And then deranged criminals are like, this is the place to be.

01:29:07.000 No one can stop you.

01:29:08.000 They want to defund the cops.

01:29:09.000 The cops are nowhere to be found.

01:29:10.000 And it's mostly a bunch of defenseless women walking down the streets who can't have guns. 1.00

01:29:14.000 New York is awful.

01:29:15.000 Attacks like this need to be stopped. 0.98

01:29:16.000 New York is awful.

01:29:17.000 And I agree with you. 0.98

01:29:18.000 It is like the anti-culture.

01:29:19.000 It is not a conducive or friendly environment as it relates to starting families.

01:29:24.000 And I'm not talking about like below replacement rate.

01:29:26.000 Like, I have one kid.

01:29:28.000 We did it.

01:29:29.000 You know, it's just not a conducive environment to that.

01:29:34.000 I mean, obviously, I'm biased here.

01:29:35.000 West Virginia is far superior to New York.

01:29:39.000 Agreed.

01:29:40.000 And, you know, look, In West Virginia, family is the most important thing in our communities.

01:29:45.000 It just is.

01:29:46.000 And it's the center of the universe for us is family.

01:29:49.000 And that's what I think we need to get back to is this country.

01:29:52.000 And now, look, New York at one point probably was more like that.

01:29:56.000 Certainly not like that now.

01:29:58.000 Did you mention something earlier about the I don't know if West Virginia is still doing this or if you brought it up that if people move here, there's a grant or something?

01:30:05.000 Yes, it's called Ascend WV, Ascend West Virginia, and I believe it's $12,000 to $15,000 we will give you as a remote worker to move to the state of West Virginia.

01:30:18.000 How long do you have to be here?

01:30:21.000 And in order to qualify for it and how long after you get here, are you still eligible for it?

01:30:26.000 Yeah, so there is a residency requirement. I think it's like a year or two that you have to do that.

01:30:32.000 I think basically Tim Kess employees are looking at some money.

01:30:35.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:30:36.000 But it's by county, right?

01:30:38.000 Yeah, so they'll open it up like an auction, essentially, and say, okay, Morgantown is now open, and we got a thousand slots here.

01:30:45.000 And then they'll do Jefferson County's open.

01:30:47.000 There'll be a thousand slots, and they'll do it all around the state, kind of auctioned off, and basically you enter like a lottery to win it.

01:30:55.000 Oh, wow.

01:30:55.000 Yeah.

01:30:56.000 I think the opportunity is here.

01:30:58.000 That's why we're here and we've, you know, at first our operation was split partly in Maryland but we were on the border literally 10 seconds away.

01:31:05.000 Yeah.

01:31:06.000 And that was a mistake.

01:31:08.000 Shouldn't have done it.

01:31:10.000 And now we're 100% everything is here in West Virginia and this is where the real opportunity is.

01:31:16.000 It is a much lower cost of living.

01:31:18.000 There's a lot of land.

01:31:20.000 It's cheap.

01:31:20.000 It's available.

01:31:21.000 Yeah.

01:31:21.000 When you're coming out here, you're not thinking about renting for $3,000.

01:31:26.000 You're thinking about it's $3,000 a month to rent in New York.

01:31:30.000 It's $1,300 to own out here.

01:31:32.000 Yes.

01:31:33.000 West Virginia, it's a beautiful state, but I think it has like one of the lowest GDP

01:31:36.000 per capita.

01:31:37.000 So what, you're an hour from DC?

01:31:38.000 Yeah.

01:31:39.000 So here's what we did.

01:31:39.000 If I'm so, so here's what we did.

01:31:40.000 Yeah, but the people in West Virginia still aren't having a lot of opportunity then.

01:31:44.000 That's another thing.

01:31:44.000 It's a bad place for a job.

01:31:45.000 It's a bad place for work.

01:31:46.000 Let's ask the treasurer.

01:31:49.000 I'm sure you know the stats better than I do.

01:31:50.000 But look, if you're talking about GDP, all of it's relative.

01:31:53.000 So in southern West Virginia, your average home is like $70,000.

01:31:59.000 So it's, it's fun.

01:32:00.000 You're making what you need.

01:32:02.000 So when we were looking at where to set up the studio, first we were in Jersey and we

01:32:07.000 were in like the Woodbury area, so we're literally 10 minutes over the bridge from Philly.

01:32:13.000 And we were looking at a building that I think was like 7,000 square feet.

01:32:18.000 And then the sale fell through and I was like, oh, whatever.

01:32:23.000 Fortunate for us, COVID then happens, and we're like, wow, we shouldn't do that anyway.

01:32:27.000 I looked at a bunch of places.

01:32:28.000 I looked at Montana.

01:32:29.000 I'm like, how cool would it be to just be in the middle of mountains, away from everything.

01:32:34.000 Airports, expensive.

01:32:36.000 Bringing guests out, you're basically flying everybody from the east coast to the west coast, which is massively expensive.

01:32:41.000 And I'm like, okay, well, we can't afford to do that.

01:32:43.000 So I looked at, okay, what if we go north of New York?

01:32:46.000 Oh, good luck.

01:32:47.000 All the way north to Connecticut, New Hampshire, it's ridiculously expensive.

01:32:51.000 Maine.

01:32:52.000 Maine's not bad.

01:32:53.000 Still a little bit expensive, and the airport is okay, but then you're basically flying everybody south.

01:32:58.000 It gets expensive.

01:32:59.000 So I'm like, we need something central.

01:33:01.000 Cassandra recommended West Virginia.

01:33:03.000 And I was like, that could work.

01:33:06.000 And so what we looked at was, let's say we go to New York.

01:33:08.000 And I was like, what if we went to Chicago or New York, and it's like anywhere you go in those cities, the drive from the airport's an hour.

01:33:15.000 And I'm like, If we were to set up in Manhattan or even Williamsburg or, you know, in Bay Ridge in New York, we're talking an hour and a half from someone landing at the airport and then being driven to the studio, not to mention tolls, taxes.

01:33:31.000 The taxes are insane.

01:33:32.000 And I was like, if we set up in West Virginia and drive an hour to the airport, at least you're moving fast.

01:33:39.000 I'll tell you this.

01:33:40.000 I would rather drive an hour and a half at 65 miles an hour than drive an hour and a half at 10 miles an hour.

01:33:49.000 Yes, no doubt.

01:33:50.000 And so I was just like, we can get cheaper land, we get bigger space, we can build more, we can expand more, and in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia with better laws, constitutional carry, we have less security costs, and we can hop in the car, and we can be in DC, we can be in Reston, we can be in, there's Frederick even, you've got big cities, But in terms of, like, if you're somebody who's gotta... I wanna go to the scene and go to Steakhouse.

01:34:15.000 50 minutes.

01:34:17.000 From here to there.

01:34:18.000 If you were in Brooklyn, it'd be the same thing.

01:34:20.000 And if you're in Bay Ridge, it's gonna take even longer than that.

01:34:22.000 So the costs are way less, the land is way cheaper, your cost of living is way cheaper, you still have all of these urban metros available to you.

01:34:29.000 From where we are, Pittsburgh's what, two hours?

01:34:31.000 Two and a half?

01:34:31.000 Two and a half.

01:34:32.000 Yeah.

01:34:32.000 Two and a half hours to Pittsburgh.

01:34:34.000 Then you've got Philly, which is three.

01:34:35.000 You've got DC, which is an hour.

01:34:36.000 Baltimore is an hour.

01:34:37.000 Richmond is probably, what, three?

01:34:39.000 About three.

01:34:40.000 Yeah.

01:34:40.000 Two and a half, three hours?

01:34:41.000 Yeah, two and a half, three.

01:34:42.000 So I'm just saying, I get it.

01:34:45.000 But I'm looking at this right. 1.00

01:34:48.000 If I'm going to build a company, building in New York is the stupidest move imaginable. 0.99

01:34:54.000 Building on the West Coast, also very, very... 0.99

01:34:57.000 Look, the West Coast, it's just obvious.

01:34:59.000 There's very few markets, there's much less people, and it's expensive to operate.

01:35:03.000 East Coast is where it's at for a lot of reasons, but if you're trying to operate in New York or even any of these big East Coast cities, it's gonna be expensive, dangerous, hard to move, hard to get space.

01:35:13.000 And look, there are worse places than New York, but New York is not a good place.

01:35:18.000 That's why, at first, we were like, if we're on the Jersey side of things, we get cheaper real estate, more space, and we still have access to New York.

01:35:25.000 And it was, look, we were in the Woodbury area, like I mentioned, when the Summer of Love happened.

01:35:33.000 And I thought to myself, we're fine.

01:35:35.000 Philly's going nuts, there's shootouts, there's craziness going on, but that's why we're on the other side of the bridge in Jersey.

01:35:41.000 And then the riders crossed the bridge into our area, and I could hear the helicopters not too far from my house, and I was like, I don't want to be in a place like this.

01:35:51.000 Because in New Jersey, if someone kicks in your door and literally screams they're going to kill you, you can't defend yourself.

01:35:58.000 They'll tell you today, not you can, but you cannot.

01:36:01.000 In West Virginia, it's constitutional carry.

01:36:03.000 You walk into the gun shop, you fill up your NICS form, they hand you your gun, and you put in your holster and you walk out.

01:36:08.000 Yep.

01:36:08.000 And we also have castle doctrine here.

01:36:11.000 So we have castle doctrine in the state of West Virginia. 0.79

01:36:14.000 Anybody enters your house, Without permission, and you can shoot that person.

01:36:19.000 And I think that's an important distinction, that the onus is not on you.

01:36:23.000 In New Jersey, if someone breaks into your house, you are responsible to determine whether or not there's a threat, and avoid that threat.

01:36:32.000 I think that's insane.

01:36:33.000 If someone breaks into my house, how could I assume anything other than they're trying to hurt me?

01:36:37.000 They're entering my home. 0.59

01:36:39.000 And in New Jersey, you have to flee your home.

01:36:41.000 They literally say, if you have the ability to flee, you must.

01:36:43.000 Yep.

01:36:43.000 And I'm like, fleet of where?

01:36:45.000 And I think they got the same thing in D.C.

01:36:47.000 Oh yeah, you can't even have guns in D.C.

01:36:49.000 But in West Virginia, you're the one that entered the home. 0.67

01:36:53.000 Armed or unarmed, you're gonna get shot.

01:36:56.000 The presumption in West Virginia is that if someone enters your property they have done you wrong. There's still a reasonable

01:37:03.000 expectation on the property owner to avoid conflict.

01:37:06.000 Yeah. If someone walks on, I think you correct me if I'm wrong, you probably know better,

01:37:10.000 but if someone comes onto your land, and West Virginia is particularly good with this because

01:37:13.000 a lot of property is large acreage. Yes. It is still presumed that you have a, you can perceive

01:37:19.000 a threat and you will be defended if someone illegally enters your land. But someone walks 0.83

01:37:24.000 onto your open land, you can't just shoot them.

01:37:26.000 No, you can't just shoot somebody onto open land, and obviously we've got a lot of hunters and all that other stuff, but if somebody is, let's say, on your front yard threatening you... 0.95

01:37:36.000 With violence, with a firearm, you can shoot that person.

01:37:38.000 I will say I'm envious of your firearms.

01:37:41.000 That doesn't seem so great right now, does it?

01:37:43.000 I'm very jealous.

01:37:44.000 And the crazy thing is, I told this story, I was walking, I think it was like near Charlestown or wherever, a guy was carrying a crossbow with a bunch of bolts.

01:37:53.000 No one cared.

01:37:54.000 No.

01:37:55.000 This guy's not attacking anybody.

01:37:56.000 Nobody cares.

01:37:56.000 It's just a guy who had his hunting equipment with him.

01:37:58.000 Tim, there are homeless guys on the subway carrying around knives.

01:38:01.000 Nobody cares.

01:38:02.000 I don't know why you're making such a big deal.

01:38:04.000 Nobody cares.

01:38:05.000 It's the same thing.

01:38:06.000 You are right.

01:38:07.000 Nobody cares.

01:38:07.000 I was at Home Depot recently and it's just somebody open carrying a firearm.

01:38:11.000 Nobody cares about it.

01:38:12.000 Nobody thinks about it.

01:38:13.000 It's just kind of the way it is.

01:38:15.000 He probably got decked in the face.

01:38:17.000 Everybody around him probably didn't care.

01:38:18.000 Nobody blinked an eye.

01:38:19.000 Yeah, but it's not the kind of caring that you're like.

01:38:22.000 I mean, it's one thing if you don't care because everyone has the freedom to.

01:38:25.000 It's one thing if you don't care because actually turning a blind eye to violence.

01:38:31.000 Neighborhoodscout.com.

01:38:32.000 That's what I'm looking up.

01:38:34.000 I'm not doing this under the assumption.

01:38:35.000 Okay, so West Virginia's crime is just about half of Well, West Virginia's crime is below the national median at 2.78 per capita, violent crime per thousand residents, and New York's is 4.29, slightly above.

01:38:51.000 So, you know, there you go.

01:38:52.000 Chances in being a victim of violent crime, 100 and 200, 1 in 233 and 1 in 360 in West Virginia.

01:39:00.000 There's so much space in between people here.

01:39:02.000 It's like, you can't even have the opportunity to bump a shoulder and get into a fight.

01:39:06.000 It's like, what are you going to fight a county or- But you still run into people.

01:39:09.000 Like, we ran into each other on Saturday at Blacktop Coffee in Shenandoah Junction.

01:39:12.000 I was just like, oh, he's here.

01:39:14.000 He's right, like, I think that's the one of the things that I like about rural communities

01:39:18.000 is like, people really do get to know each other.

01:39:20.000 And even if you're not best friends with everyone, there is a level of familiarity.

01:39:23.000 Whereas with New York, like, again, I actually, there are things that I loved about New York, like museums, stuff like that.

01:39:28.000 You're not necessarily going to get that.

01:39:29.000 You give some of it up.

01:39:30.000 But if you're thinking long-term, if you're thinking about having a family, anything like that, like, you want to go somewhere where you run into your potential congressman.

01:39:36.000 Anything, though.

01:39:37.000 Check it out.

01:39:37.000 Okay.

01:39:39.000 Dear viewer, You're 19 years old.

01:39:42.000 You want to start a TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, some kind of channel.

01:39:45.000 You're a big Pokemon card player.

01:39:48.000 You decided you're going to do a booster pack opening channel.

01:39:52.000 You ever see these?

01:39:53.000 They put a camera in front of them, and then they take the booster pack in front of it, and they open it up, and they very slowly go through the cards, and people love to watch this stuff.

01:40:02.000 In what reality would you want to do that in New York City, where your rent is three grand?

01:40:05.000 For three grand, you could own your own house with five acres in West Virginia.

01:40:11.000 And if you go further in, out of the panhandle, it gets better and better.

01:40:15.000 With high-speed internet being, you know, not everywhere, broadband has got to get fixed.

01:40:20.000 That's crazy.

01:40:21.000 That's even a thought.

01:40:23.000 Well, it's because it's rural broadband.

01:40:25.000 There's rural places in everywhere.

01:40:26.000 There's parts of upstate New York that didn't have internet.

01:40:28.000 We were considering upstate New York, no internet there, and Starlink makes things pretty awesome.

01:40:33.000 Starlink's here too, by the way, in West Virginia.

01:40:36.000 We have two Starlink backups for our system.

01:40:36.000 We have it.

01:40:40.000 A lot of digital business can be run from anywhere.

01:40:44.000 So why not go somewhere with lower cost of living, with more land, more space, fresher air, greener pastures?

01:40:51.000 And then when you're buying your equipment, if you're spending 35% of your income, 35% of what you would normally spend on rent, as opposed to New York, you've got extra money for building your setup and starting your business.

01:41:04.000 I'm not saying everyone's gonna be a vlogger or a podcaster or something like this, but there's a lot of opportunity in digital sales and online business, and that being said, we should stop debating that and go to Super Chats.

01:41:34.000 Clint Torres is back with the first Super Chat saying howdy people.

01:41:37.000 And unfortunately for our token black guy, howdy people in second place. 1.00

01:41:42.000 He tried though.

01:41:43.000 Kyle says, I'm probably pronouncing it wrong, right?

01:41:46.000 Or is it kale?

01:41:47.000 I don't know, Kyle.

01:41:48.000 As of today, Chronic Golf and Games is excited to be a part of your wholesale program.

01:41:53.000 Whole bean ground and cold brew can be purchased at our location in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

01:41:57.000 Woo! 0.99

01:41:58.000 Thank you.

01:41:58.000 Thank you very much.

01:42:00.000 Earlier today, Allison and Sarah, Informed me that we officially have a wholesaler who is now buying Cast Brew Coffee to sell at their location.

01:42:10.000 Very awesome and thank you so much for supporting Cast Brew Coffee.

01:42:14.000 The main goal of course is, and I'll keep it simple, We started a coffee product because my family actually owned a coffee shop in the past.

01:42:23.000 And in terms of creating physical locations where people can hang out and organize, coffee really is the quickest and fastest way to get things up and running.

01:42:31.000 So with the family experience and with the ease of access, that's the route we went.

01:42:38.000 And we hope to have more in the future.

01:42:39.000 Protein powders, supplements, teas, all that good stuff.

01:42:44.000 He also says, check out the song the Gatsby expressed by Sweet Plot.

01:42:49.000 Well, alright. 0.96

01:42:52.000 Steven says, says, the American people are sick of being taken for suckers by the collectivist left and right. 0.98

01:42:57.000 We want liberty and rule of law, not rule by liars. 0.97

01:43:01.000 Amen.

01:43:02.000 Yeah.

01:43:03.000 Is that what you're saying?

01:43:04.000 says Tim GameStop is moving because because of call options that were bought weeks ago.

01:43:09.000 Rory and Kitty tweeted after these call options were in the money.

01:43:13.000 So cause and effect is reversed.

01:43:15.000 These options are bought weeks before his tweet.

01:43:17.000 So you're saying that he tweeted because the the the options were hitting and his leaning

01:43:23.000 forward in his chair was because he was seeing the action rising.

01:43:25.000 Is that what you're saying?

01:43:26.000 That would make sense.

01:43:29.000 All right.

01:43:30.000 Do you think that guy knew what he would become when he picked the name Roaring Kitty?

01:43:34.000 Nope.

01:43:34.000 Was that intentional?

01:43:35.000 Probably not.

01:43:37.000 There are a lot of people who have funny usernames.

01:43:40.000 Johnny Haynes, one of the skaters for the Boonies, username is Llama Hands with a Z. And you know, perhaps he did not realize that he was going to be, you know, like he's been skating

01:43:52.000 for a while, but the clips that he's getting and the views he's getting, it's like you ask

01:43:56.000 someone, what's your Instagram? Llamahands.

01:43:58.000 And you're like, oh, that's a weird name. But hey, there you go. You never know.

01:44:02.000 I think when social media came out, people didn't realize that it would become part of

01:44:05.000 their professional identity. Right. Yeah.

01:44:07.000 Tyler Furr Page says, I'm 33 and listen to every episode of IRL at Dialysis.

01:44:13.000 I can't afford my medications or gas money to get to Dialysis.

01:44:16.000 Anything helps.

01:44:18.000 Go fund me, Tyler Page Dialysis and Medical Costs.

01:44:22.000 Let's see if I can pull this up because we did actually have a Super Chatter who sent money specifically to help out someone in need.

01:44:32.000 And so, for that, Let's see if I can, uh, Tyler Page dialysis and medical bills.

01:44:41.000 Is this it?

01:44:42.000 Would you say it's a Tyler Page?

01:44:43.000 I have found it.

01:44:44.000 All right.

01:44:45.000 So, uh, we, we will, we will help you out good sir.

01:44:49.000 And we'll see, uh, there's a super chat for a hundred bucks in there saying they want to be sent to someone who needed it.

01:44:56.000 All right, let's go.

01:44:57.000 What is this?

01:44:59.000 Lawrence Vandoren says it was an absolute pleasure meeting you and your family on Saturday evening.

01:45:03.000 We loved the show.

01:45:04.000 We were extremely impressed with y'all taking the time to chat with us.

01:45:07.000 It meant a lot to us both.

01:45:09.000 Thank you very much.

01:45:09.000 Well, right on.

01:45:13.000 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that was great.

01:45:14.000 When we were at dinner, we saw you outside.

01:45:16.000 That was fantastic.

01:45:18.000 Nice meeting you, Lawrence.

01:45:19.000 We were getting food for Mother's Day and met a kind gentleman outside.

01:45:22.000 That's fun.

01:45:23.000 And we got to talk for a few minutes.

01:45:24.000 And it was great.

01:45:24.000 Nice.

01:45:25.000 He said he bought our coffee.

01:45:26.000 And we were like, well, you know, thank you very much.

01:45:29.000 Lawrence, it was great meeting you.

01:45:32.000 Emily Ziegler says, last week of chemo and radiation, can you please share our give, send, go for my medical bills?

01:45:38.000 Ziegler pan, can, med bills.

01:45:42.000 Thank you so much.

01:45:43.000 We have four kids, three cats, and a dog.

01:45:46.000 Well, best of luck.

01:45:46.000 Well, I suppose... Oh, man, it's tough.

01:45:49.000 Two individuals in need of assistance.

01:45:51.000 We'll see what we can do.

01:45:52.000 Miss Ziegler and Tyler, we're pulling for you.

01:45:56.000 We're keeping you guys in our thoughts.

01:45:58.000 Pull through, and we're praying for you.

01:46:01.000 All right.

01:46:02.000 A lot of people, so something happened where someone super chatted asking for assistance with something, and then I gave it to him, and then someone else asked, and then someone's like, I'm gonna be late on my rent, I need help.

01:46:11.000 So I was like, I'll pay your rent, and I paid his rent.

01:46:13.000 And then someone else needed their rent paid, so I paid his rent.

01:46:15.000 You're spelt to be Mr. Beast.

01:46:17.000 Yeah, it's like a political show where at the end, we just start giving money away for some reason.

01:46:21.000 You're very philanthropic.

01:46:22.000 No, it's important to give.

01:46:23.000 It's like within reason, I don't know.

01:46:26.000 It's because we wanted to do this program where we gave 10 grand a month as like a grant towards a cultural endeavor, but legal

01:46:33.000 hurdles make it very difficult to do.

01:46:35.000 If it's members, it's a sweepstakes. If it, like, if I said something like you have to super chat it,

01:46:41.000 which is certainly not the case, that could be considered a sweepstakes. There's weird laws

01:46:45.000 about giving money away, and whether it's taxable or not, and so ultimately we just hit a wall with

01:46:50.000 it and we were like, I don't know if we can actually navigate this, like, grant program

01:46:55.000 We'd have to start, like, a non-profit and have money in it to make it simple.

01:46:58.000 Eh.

01:46:59.000 Something like that.

01:47:00.000 But, uh, so, so essentially, I have been making donations to various, uh, individuals periodically.

01:47:06.000 Uh, a couple people I've given, like, ten grand towards their cultural endeavor.

01:47:11.000 I don't want to call them out because it's up to them.

01:47:12.000 Just do the work they want to do and without me saying, like, hey, look, I gave them money.

01:47:16.000 But, uh, stuff that people in this, in this, uh, who watch the show would be very happy to hear about.

01:47:23.000 I commend you for giving to charity, but I think it's more of a... It speaks to the state of the country.

01:47:26.000 It's not charity.

01:47:28.000 Yeah.

01:47:28.000 So there are some individuals that people are fans of that are dedicating their lives to good causes, and I've given them gifts like, no consideration, it's free to do whatever you want with.

01:47:38.000 And because I know that they're doing good things in their lives.

01:47:41.000 So it's not, it's not, it's a, you know, I don't know.

01:47:45.000 It's just like, hey man, I've seen what you've done and it's good and it's helping everyone else.

01:47:48.000 So it's up to, it's up to these people if they want to come out and say that I sent them any money.

01:47:52.000 Cause I don't want to do that.

01:47:54.000 But that's, that's kind of the plan.

01:47:55.000 So when it came to someone saying they need their rent paid, I was like, I had to do something like that.

01:47:58.000 You know what I mean?

01:47:59.000 Can't do it too much.

01:48:01.000 You know, basically the budget was around like 10 K per month towards helping people in some way.

01:48:06.000 And what, what I've mostly been doing is like, If someone is a prominent activist, I'm trying to do like a mini Soros thing where it's like, I see that billionaire guy.

01:48:15.000 So if someone's like fighting to protect women's sports or something like that, I'll be like, Hey, you know, here you go.

01:48:21.000 If someone's working on like, uh, I actually, I think I'm a member of like three or four different, uh, gun, gun rights organizations.

01:48:28.000 So I get all these things in the mail of like, you know, that stuff I definitely care about.

01:48:32.000 I remember as soon as Taylor got involved with her whole skateboard issue, you were quick to bring her on and try to bring her in and help her any way you can, so good work.

01:48:42.000 Yeah, she got her own board for the boonies, her Taylor Silverman skateboard.

01:48:46.000 And she rips. 1.00

01:48:47.000 Yeah, you know, it's it's it, you know, what I was thinking, too, is like, well, I skateboard.

01:48:50.000 So this was it was a no brainer for me.

01:48:52.000 It's like someone who's willing to stand up and defend women's rights is Taylor Silverman, by the way, shout out, definitely needs the support. 0.99

01:48:58.000 If you're like a college level, like swimmer, you're like facing like, it's like an Olympic level thing.

01:49:04.000 That's so prominent in the forefront.

01:49:06.000 But skateboarding is such a smaller thing.

01:49:07.000 Yeah, and you're on your own.

01:49:09.000 Yeah.

01:49:09.000 Right.

01:49:09.000 I mean, like you're, you know, you're trying to make an skateboarding.

01:49:12.000 You're on your own.

01:49:13.000 Yeah.

01:49:13.000 I mean, you're just kind of doing it on your own.

01:49:14.000 You're trying to pick up your own sponsors.

01:49:16.000 I mean, there's not, there's not like a whole, like the same level of system, like Tim saying, is it is like college sports.

01:49:22.000 And by the way, I don't know if you all saw this or not, but there's brave, brave girls down in Southern West Virginia that decided, you know what?

01:49:31.000 We're not doing the shop put with you.

01:49:33.000 We are boycotting this.

01:49:34.000 We're not going to do it.

01:49:36.000 And they got banned.

01:49:37.000 Yeah, they got banned.

01:49:38.000 Wow.

01:49:39.000 That's crazy.

01:49:39.000 Yeah.

01:49:40.000 And so there's lawsuits coming on that.

01:49:42.000 We are challenging.

01:49:44.000 We had the 4th District, unfortunately, knock down our women's sports rights bill here in West Virginia. 1.00

01:49:50.000 That's federal court, by the way.

01:49:52.000 Weird world we're now in.

01:49:54.000 4th District is worse than the 9th.

01:49:56.000 9th is better now, strangely.

01:49:58.000 But it is being challenged.

01:50:01.000 The state is going to try to take that to the United States Supreme Court.

01:50:04.000 Alright, Dan998 says, Hi Tim, love your work.

01:50:07.000 What is your take on Fulton County missing 380,000 voter vote photo record from the 2020 election?

01:50:15.000 I am not surprised.

01:50:18.000 Do you guys hear the story?

01:50:19.000 No.

01:50:20.000 First of all, they've already had, I believe they're getting chastised for having a bunch of voter errors in 2020 that everyone already knew about.

01:50:29.000 But apparently there's some story, I haven't read too much into it, I don't know if you saw that one, 380,000 missing vote records.

01:50:38.000 What?

01:50:38.000 It's wild.

01:50:39.000 Yeah.

01:50:40.000 I mean, look, the system is completely broken.

01:50:44.000 That's why I'm saying like Trump can pull in a million people to a rally and shadow campaign.

01:50:49.000 Yeah.

01:50:50.000 Yeah.

01:50:51.000 Whatever it may be.

01:50:52.000 We used to live in a country where you knew who won the election the day of the election.

01:50:57.000 What a concept.

01:50:58.000 Yeah.

01:50:58.000 I mean, it's like we've gotten worse.

01:51:00.000 I don't think it's just that we've gotten worse.

01:51:02.000 I think that there's something going on in some of these places.

01:51:06.000 And I think this is bad, ultimately, for a sense of patriotism and national morale, right?

01:51:12.000 If you think your vote doesn't matter, you're going to really think that when it turns out the votes don't even show up where they're supposed to.

01:51:17.000 Well, people are looking at this right now in West Virginia.

01:51:19.000 It's like, oh, early voting is down.

01:51:21.000 It's slightly lower.

01:51:22.000 Early voting was going on until Saturday, and it's slightly down because people don't trust early voting.

01:51:28.000 They want to vote the day of.

01:51:31.000 All of this mail-in ballot, we don't do that in West Virginia by the way, but all this mail-in ballot and all this other nonsense and drop boxes and this, all it does at the end of the day when it takes a month to know how an election turned out is erode the confidence in the system and erode confidence in the country, right?

01:51:53.000 I mean, I really think that this is the biggest challenge that America—one of the biggest challenges America has right now is creating a cohesive culture and attitude that encourages people to participate.

01:51:53.000 I think it's awful.

01:52:04.000 And I mean that in terms of having families going out to vote.

01:52:07.000 And every obstacle against you is like, well, it's so expensive.

01:52:10.000 You can't afford children.

01:52:11.000 And also your votes go missing.

01:52:12.000 And also, you know, they don't listen to you anyways.

01:52:14.000 And also, you know, like it's constant problems that just burden the mind in a way that, you know, I think is meant to destroy us internally.

01:52:23.000 And some state passed a law here recently.

01:52:25.000 It may have been Texas.

01:52:26.000 I can't remember what state it was.

01:52:27.000 If it's not Texas, sorry, I'm wrong.

01:52:30.000 But some state passed a law here recently that said you have to count all ballots within 48 hours.

01:52:36.000 I can't believe we need a law to say that, though, you know?

01:52:38.000 I know!

01:52:38.000 Right?

01:52:39.000 Yeah.

01:52:39.000 All right.

01:52:40.000 John Burt says, is there a foie gras thing going on?

01:52:47.000 Is that a South African thing, Serge?

01:52:48.000 No?

01:52:48.000 Foie gras?

01:52:49.000 It's just getting really fancy.

01:52:50.000 Have you ever had it?

01:52:51.000 No.

01:52:51.000 What is it, like duck liver?

01:52:52.000 Yeah, it's diseased duck liver.

01:52:54.000 I'm not a big fan.

01:52:56.000 I'm not trying that.

01:52:57.000 They, they, you take a duck, and they, uh, shove a tube of, like, corn and oil into its throat and pump its stomach full of it, and then diseases the liver and makes it massive and fatty, and so they torture the animal before killing it to make its liver- Is PETA against this?

01:53:14.000 I'm assuming all the animal rights people- It's illegal in certain states, right?

01:53:17.000 Yeah.

01:53:18.000 I don't, I don't, I don't think it's really that good.

01:53:21.000 It doesn't really warrant the, uh, What's the country of origin?

01:53:24.000 I think it's French, yeah.

01:53:24.000 Is this French?

01:53:25.000 It feels French.

01:53:27.000 They would.

01:53:29.000 That's so specific, like, oh, it's not only duck liver, it's like fattened duck liver.

01:53:33.000 Very specific.

01:53:33.000 Diseased.

01:53:34.000 Diseased duck liver.

01:53:35.000 Yeah, you strain the animal until its liver is failing and then eat its delicious fatty liver.

01:53:41.000 But I don't think it's that good.

01:53:43.000 That's the thing, I'm not a big duck fan.

01:53:44.000 I don't know, you like ducks?

01:53:46.000 You know, every once in a while.

01:53:48.000 I'm not a huge duck fan.

01:53:49.000 There's a reason why chicken is so popular.

01:53:49.000 Yeah.

01:53:52.000 They are tasty critters.

01:53:53.000 They are tasty little birds.

01:53:56.000 And they're funny, too.

01:53:57.000 Taboo.

01:53:59.000 All right, we'll grab some more Super Chats.

01:54:01.000 Terry Hesticals says, Riley Moore.

01:54:04.000 Any relation to Michael Moore?

01:54:06.000 Zero, no.

01:54:07.000 But I bet if you go back far enough.

01:54:09.000 If you went back far enough, perhaps.

01:54:10.000 Perhaps.

01:54:11.000 It's like 400 years ago.

01:54:12.000 It's where the family split.

01:54:15.000 Probably if the name's there, you know?

01:54:16.000 Yeah.

01:54:18.000 It all goes back to one guy named Moore.

01:54:23.000 Let's grab some Super Chats.

01:54:26.000 Where are we?

01:54:26.000 Uh-oh.

01:54:29.000 Wyatt's dad says, my chickens are getting kicked out of the coop by a sly fox.

01:54:33.000 Need 1k rent money.

01:54:35.000 Ah, so you weren't referring to actual chickens, but it was very clever how you worded that to get me to read it.

01:54:39.000 They listened to IRL and spent it on emergency food.

01:54:43.000 And he says, Trinidad Shabbat of Pressure.

01:54:48.000 Please help Concrete Rob. 1.00

01:54:49.000 Best of luck, Rob.

01:54:53.000 Alright, what do we have here?

01:54:54.000 Do you have chickens, Riley?

01:54:56.000 No, I don't.

01:54:57.000 What?

01:54:57.000 My neighbors have chickens.

01:54:58.000 You live in West Virginia, you have no chickens?

01:55:00.000 I know, I know.

01:55:01.000 My wife, we're talking about getting chickens, we don't have any chickens right now.

01:55:04.000 You'll get a couple, you'll be alright.

01:55:06.000 Travis Boss says, Riley, Alex Mooney seemed to be taking his voting cues in all the right ways from Thomas Massey, often one of a handful of votes against the Deep State.

01:55:16.000 Would you take up this mantle as our representative?

01:55:18.000 Travis from Berkeley County.

01:55:19.000 Yeah, you know, Travis, if you look at my voting record when I was in the state legislature, I had one of the most conservative voting records in the entire state legislature.

01:55:27.000 So it's going to look exactly like that if elected to Congress.

01:55:31.000 So how does this happen?

01:55:33.000 Honest question.

01:55:34.000 You're a skateboarder, and you're a very conservative family man upholding all these values.

01:55:40.000 But skateboarding as a culture was very – I mean this on the literal side of the word, punk and anti-establishment.

01:55:46.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:55:47.000 Yeah, no, definitely.

01:55:48.000 And this might surprise some people, but growing up, I wasn't political at all.

01:55:54.000 I didn't really think about any of that stuff.

01:55:56.000 I wasn't engaged.

01:55:58.000 I got into skateboarding, loved skateboarding.

01:56:03.000 And then as I kind of became like politically active, I would say I was more of a libertarian, you know, more libertarian.

01:56:08.000 Makes sense.

01:56:09.000 And as time went on and my views kind of evolved and became really conservative,

01:56:15.000 but I still love skateboarding.

01:56:16.000 I mean, I think it's a great sport and it's good to get kids outside.

01:56:22.000 I mean, it's, and there's a lot, the best thing about skateboarding,

01:56:25.000 I remember growing up, nobody talked about politics really.

01:56:29.000 I mean, like you'd go skate and you're just hanging out with people

01:56:32.000 and you're just psyched on whatever guy's doing some trick that he's been trying for like, you know, last six hours

01:56:39.000 or whatever and.

01:56:41.000 This is what we need more of.

01:56:42.000 I think what skate parks have been kind of bad for us in that there used to be pop-up skate demos.

01:56:48.000 Yeah.

01:56:49.000 People would bring their kids and they'd watch people do tricks.

01:56:51.000 And then the kids would be like, I wanna skate.

01:56:52.000 Now with the skate park, it's very centralized.

01:56:55.000 And so it's, you know, it might've been, oh, hey, there's gonna be a bunch of people skateboarding

01:57:00.000 in this parking lot near our school.

01:57:02.000 Let's go check it out, and there's gonna be drinks. 0.87

01:57:04.000 Now it's at the skate park, and so really, if you have no reason to be at the skate park, you don't go to the skate park.

01:57:09.000 So I feel like we need more of these, it doesn't even need to be skateboarding, I'm just saying in general, these pop-up community events that happen periodically.

01:57:15.000 I do love the Charlestown Farmer's Market on the weekends, though.

01:57:17.000 Oh, it's great.

01:57:18.000 Yeah, those are fantastic.

01:57:19.000 So way back in the day, like in the 90s, this is like 99, something like that, Do you remember Tony Hawk, Dave Mirra, all of them were doing this tour around the country?

01:57:28.000 Was it Boom Boom Huck Jam?

01:57:30.000 That was a big... No, it wasn't that one.

01:57:34.000 But they came to Leesburg Skate Park in Virginia and there were thousands of people there.

01:57:40.000 It was like people were just losing their mind.

01:57:42.000 I think Brian Sumner was there.

01:57:43.000 So it was like, you know, that kind of time.

01:57:46.000 Maybe Willie Santos, you know, and it was like just mind blowing.

01:57:50.000 It was like, oh my God, it's Tony Hawk.

01:57:51.000 You know, it's kind of funny though, like the most famous skateboarders,

01:57:55.000 aside from like the top five pro skateboarders who are actual celebrities for whatever reason,

01:58:00.000 most of the big name skateboarders have like, the people you name, like 30,000 followers.

01:58:05.000 And it's like to a skateboarder, you're naming Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt,

01:58:08.000 To everyone else, I don't care who these people are. 0.99

01:58:11.000 Yeah, I mean, so you say Brian Sumner, it's like, oh shit, Brian Sumner. 0.97

01:58:14.000 After Dave Mirra, I didn't, yeah, it was Tony Hawk, I was surprised Dave Mirra. 0.84

01:58:18.000 I didn't get any, you guys just looked happy, and I was like, that's great.

01:58:21.000 Yeah, Mirra's a BMX guy.

01:58:24.000 It feels like, um, the skater info, like Bam Margera types took a lot of that.

01:58:29.000 Yeah.

01:58:29.000 I mean, but like Willie Santos, right?

01:58:31.000 Willie Santos legend.

01:58:32.000 I mean, that whole birdhouse crew, Andrew Reynolds was on there back in the day.

01:58:36.000 He wasn't there unfortunately for the tour, but, um, yeah.

01:58:39.000 All right.

01:58:40.000 Let's read this one.

01:58:40.000 We got, uh, Chris Bialcino.

01:58:44.000 Who says, uh, I don't know what that says, and I don't speak that language.

01:58:47.000 I'm just gonna say, he says, hi from Guam.

01:58:48.000 Tim, I'm a longtime listener and a member, and today's my birthday.

01:58:51.000 For my birthday, I'm super chatting $100 for you to help donate funds to help a listener in need.

01:58:56.000 And I think, I know there's a lot of serious ones.

01:58:58.000 Some people say there's some brain tumors, but I think the guy who needs dialysis We're gonna, we're gonna help keep him alive.

01:59:04.000 I feel like the dialysis is much, it's, it's like, man, a brain tumor is very pressing as well, but dialysis, like, you could die in a, in a week.

01:59:10.000 Oh yeah.

01:59:11.000 And I think he said he was a young man, 33, if I'm not mistaken.

01:59:13.000 Oh yeah.

01:59:14.000 So we'll keep you guys in our thoughts, and... Nur Alayi says, I would prefer to super chat on the Mean Green New Tech app.

01:59:21.000 We all have that app on our Rokus and phones.

01:59:24.000 Give us the option and we'll take it.

01:59:25.000 I understand that you have a responsibility to take care of your people first.

01:59:28.000 No worries.

01:59:28.000 Just food for thought.

01:59:30.000 Yeah, so I will say this.

01:59:31.000 I don't know how this will have an impact on Rumble's legal case against Google, but YouTube owns online video.

01:59:41.000 The cost is immeasurable.

01:59:45.000 We're on Rumble because we want Rumble to win, because we need competition.

01:59:48.000 We have to accept that.

01:59:48.000 Yes.

01:59:49.000 But we don't make money off Rumble videos.

01:59:51.000 So, I don't want, like, someone super chatted saying they watch on YouTube for the revenue, and I'm like, well, I don't want that.

01:59:57.000 We want people to just watch where they watch.

01:59:59.000 But, uh...

02:00:01.000 Without the YouTube ad revenue, we're in the red and we're sinking.

02:00:06.000 That's why I shifted after the 2020 election.

02:00:10.000 That's why we created the membership program, because I was like, we cannot rely on YouTube ad revenue for this reason, because of censorship and because of the need for competition.

02:00:17.000 So we have to build our own site and our own base.

02:00:19.000 But right now we still rely on YouTube revenue, which the ad revenue on IRL is relatively small, 20-30%, but we do.

02:00:28.000 And we actually lost a decent amount of money with our move to Rumble by duplicating the videos.

02:00:35.000 People who watch on Facebook, we get paid.

02:00:37.000 People who watch on YouTube, we get paid.

02:00:38.000 People who watch on Rumble, we get nothing.

02:00:40.000 But we're on Rumble because there's got to be, like, you have to forward the line.

02:00:47.000 You know what I mean?

02:00:48.000 So, we gotta do it.

02:00:50.000 I wish they just innovated more on Rumble.

02:00:53.000 Brought something a little bit different.

02:00:55.000 What could they do?

02:00:55.000 What's an idea?

02:00:56.000 TikTok did something completely different than YouTube.

02:00:59.000 Just a short content.

02:01:00.000 If I had the idea, then I'd be the tech guy.

02:01:02.000 But like, no, TikTok has a completely different video platform.

02:01:06.000 He will sell you whatever idea he's not telling us.

02:01:09.000 You know, it's a carbon copy of YouTube.

02:01:10.000 And it's like, all right, here's what I do.

02:01:12.000 So I'm going to throw 100 bucks on top as well.

02:01:15.000 And we'll send 200 to Tyler for his dialysis 100 from that great super chatter.

02:01:19.000 And then we will send over this This here is super... I'm trying to type in all this information real quick as we're... There we go.

02:01:31.000 Looks good.

02:01:32.000 That does not look good.

02:01:34.000 And let's help this guy out.

02:01:38.000 I was thinking, like, there are different platforms that seem to be leading the pack, but with TikTok, they're kind of doing what Vine did beforehand, right?

02:01:47.000 Sort of short- Yeah, I think it's the algorithm, and it's the endless swipe.

02:01:51.000 It's like, you're never ending.

02:01:53.000 Instagram is gonna get that, X is gonna get that.

02:01:56.000 But we're gonna go to the members-only show now, so smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends.

02:02:02.000 As I- I love this.

02:02:03.000 I used to- I was- I would put a poll in the chat that said, would you kindly smash the like button?

02:02:08.000 And I've replaced it now with one like equals one Let's Go Brandon.

02:02:11.000 And we're getting way more likes!

02:02:14.000 So one like equals one Let's Go, Brandon!
