Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - US Rockets Strike Russia, Russia Threatens WAR, Says THIS IS WORLD WAR 3 w-Bill Ottman | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 We'll see you next time.

00:00:21.000 HIMARS rockets into Russian territory, Ukraine has done so. 0.82

00:00:26.000 I will stress this.

00:00:27.000 Biden has authorized Ukraine to strike Russian targets using U.S.

00:00:32.000 weapons.

00:00:33.000 I call that Biden being the chief military officer of Ukraine.

00:00:37.000 I call this Western forces attacking Russian territory. 0.90

00:00:42.000 Well, that's where we currently are.

00:00:44.000 The Kremlin has stated that if Ukrainians fire U.S.

00:00:48.000 weapons into Russia, it very well may be a casus belli for war.

00:00:53.000 They are threatening to declare war on NATO directly.

00:00:56.000 Dmitry Medvedev says this is not Ukraine doing anything.

00:01:01.000 They view this as NATO supplied and supported weapons firing into their territory.

00:01:06.000 And it's happened.

00:01:07.000 There's videos.

00:01:08.000 The New York Times is reporting this.

00:01:10.000 Here's my favorite part.

00:01:11.000 When I tweeted out that Western forces have begun firing weapons into Russia, I get a community note saying it's not accurate to call them Western forces because Ukraine is a sovereign nation.

00:01:22.000 A sovereign nation that can only take military action if Joe Biden gives them the approval to do so.

00:01:28.000 A sovereign nation that is trained, armed, funded by NATO.

00:01:32.000 A sovereign nation where blink in the United States says that Ukraine will be in NATO.

00:01:37.000 Yeah.

00:01:38.000 Ain't nobody buying it. 0.62

00:01:40.000 We're not stupid. 0.65

00:01:42.000 This could very well be the brink of World War 3, or maybe we're already in it. 0.93

00:01:46.000 I don't know.

00:01:47.000 Russian state TV is already saying this is World War 3.

00:01:50.000 A lot of people in Europe have been saying it.

00:01:52.000 My friends, there's not going to be a clear line where we know when it's begun.

00:01:58.000 I don't think there's going to be a very easy shot heard around the world.

00:02:01.000 Maybe this is it, maybe not.

00:02:03.000 There were drone terror strikes in Russia already.

00:02:06.000 Who knows?

00:02:07.000 This could escalate, as we've already gotten reports that Russia has removed a line of demarcation from a lake that separates Russia from Estonia.

00:02:15.000 Moves may already be in place for this war to expand.

00:02:20.000 And what are we supposed to say?

00:02:21.000 It is Western forces that have opened fire on Russian territory.

00:02:26.000 Now, sure, Russia invaded Ukraine, but it is now NATO-supplied forces and Western powers attacking Russian territory directly.

00:02:34.000 Call it whatever you want.

00:02:35.000 We're going to talk about that.

00:02:36.000 We got a bunch of news pertaining to Hunter Biden's trial.

00:02:39.000 Donald Trump is going to get his concealed carry revoked.

00:02:42.000 Now, that's, that's, that's, oof, that's just terrible.

00:02:45.000 Two-way absolutist, right?

00:02:46.000 And then the World Health Organization is saying bird flu is now in humans and a man has died.

00:02:51.000 I hope you're ready for how wild this year is gonna be.

00:04:23.000 What's good, guys?

00:04:24.000 I just want to shout out the people.

00:04:26.000 There's a really great comment.

00:04:27.000 Someone said, Tim is like, it's all going pot.

00:04:29.000 Buy my coffee.

00:04:31.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:04:33.000 When wars start, life doesn't stop.

00:04:36.000 Watch the videos out of Syria during the civil war of people walking through rubble and active gunfire with grocery bags from a supermarket.

00:04:43.000 Let's jump into this first story from the New York Times.

00:04:46.000 Ukraine strikes into Russia with Western weapons, official says.

00:04:50.000 The official said Ukraine had destroyed missile launchers in the Russian region of Belgorod using an American-made rocket system.

00:04:58.000 So we've got these videos that have been coming out of Russia.

00:05:02.000 Just days after the Biden administration granted permission for Ukraine to fire American weapons into Russia, Kiev took advantage of its new latitude, striking a military facility over the border using a U.S.-made artillery system, according to members of Ukraine's parliament.

00:05:17.000 This has already been reported on in Russia as well, confirmed by both sides.

00:05:21.000 Yehor Shchernev, the Deputy Chairman of the Ukrainian Parliament's Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence, said on Tuesday that Ukrainian forces had destroyed Russian missile launchers with a strike in the Belgorod region about 20 miles into Russia.

00:05:32.000 Ukraine's forces used a high-mobility artillery rocket system, or HIMARS, he said.

00:05:38.000 Confirmation coming from ABC News as well.

00:05:41.000 And then let's see, we have this.

00:05:43.000 This is an important context from Politico.

00:05:45.000 Biden secretly gave Ukraine permission to strike inside Russia with US weapons.

00:05:51.000 Here's my favorite part.

00:05:53.000 Here's my tweet.

00:05:54.000 Western forces have begun direct strikes on Russian territory.

00:05:58.000 Russia already warned this would be a declaration of war and they would retaliate.

00:06:03.000 We ended up getting this beautiful community note which read, this is misleading.

00:06:06.000 Western forces have not begun strikes inside Russia.

00:06:09.000 Ukraine is conducting strikes inside Russia using Western American supplied weapons.

00:06:14.000 Referring to Ukraine as Western forces would not be accurate.

00:06:17.000 Ukraine is an independent sovereign country that can only take action if Joe Biden tells them they can.

00:06:23.000 Yeah, nice try, Deep State.

00:06:26.000 No one's fallen for it.

00:06:27.000 This is a new era.

00:06:28.000 We are wise to your crackpot games and we ain't playing around.

00:06:34.000 Look, they're going in the media and they're saying, this is not war.

00:06:39.000 Ukraine's doing it. 1.00

00:06:41.000 You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe that's the case. 1.00

00:06:44.000 So when I look at these liberal pundits and they're just like, wow, look what Ukraine did after Biden gave them the weapons and the permission. 1.00

00:06:50.000 Yeah, that means they're taking orders from Joe Biden.

00:06:52.000 That's it.

00:06:54.000 This could very well be the doorstep of World War III, or at the very least, war, a direct confrontation with Russia.

00:07:02.000 Now to be fair, we're already at war with Russia, so the question is, does this escalate beyond and become something more akin to World War III?

00:07:08.000 You can guarantee that Russia is going to consider this an escalation.

00:07:13.000 Like, what they do, I don't know.

00:07:15.000 I'm not making any predictions about what they do, but inside Russia, you can absolutely guarantee that they're going to consider just the acknowledgement, right?

00:07:24.000 Because there's all kinds of things that they probably know and they're like, well, we're pretty sure they're doing this, but we can't prove it or whatever.

00:07:30.000 Like, all kinds of stuff happens like that when it comes to international politics and stuff like that happens all the time.

00:07:36.000 But when you have something that is either uncovered and the The administration or whatever country in question has to admit it.

00:07:44.000 That makes a whole different ball of wax as to how the country that was targeted is going to respond and how the international community will accept their response.

00:07:57.000 Because no matter what, the U.S.

00:07:58.000 is going to be like, no, you shouldn't do anything at all, blah, blah, blah, no matter what.

00:08:02.000 But what the rest of the international community is going to say is going to be different because of that.

00:08:07.000 Yeah, well, we initially saw reports about this authorization from Biden last week, but it was when the Trump conviction came out.

00:08:13.000 So it sort of was like some media reporting on it, but for the most part, it was news that was reported without really being, I think, taken in by the American public.

00:08:22.000 I don't really understand how the White House can defend being like, well, we're not being aggressive against Russia.

00:08:29.000 We're just helping Ukraine out by telling them to use our supplied weapons and force against Russia inside Russia. 0.94

00:08:37.000 And then within days they actually do it.

00:08:39.000 Yeah.

00:08:40.000 We have this from Sky News.

00:08:41.000 Kremlin official threatens war against NATO if Ukraine uses US weapons against Russia.

00:08:47.000 A senior Russian official says the country could go to war with NATO

00:08:50.000 after Biden allowed some US weapons to be used by Ukraine in Russia.

00:08:54.000 So we have rescue workers at a site of a residence hit by a Russian missile in Kharkiv.

00:08:59.000 That was Friday also.

00:09:01.000 It's not like this is something that they said last year.

00:09:03.000 This is Friday.

00:09:03.000 They said that just this past Friday.

00:09:05.000 Quote, Russia regards all long-range weapons used by Ukraine as already being directly controlled by servicemen from NATO countries.

00:09:12.000 This is no military assistance.

00:09:14.000 This is participation in a war against us, and such actions could well become a casus belli.

00:09:19.000 For those that don't know what that means, it means cause for war.

00:09:23.000 I find this very difficult to argue with, right?

00:09:25.000 Russia has been clear the whole time.

00:09:27.000 They don't want to see an expansion of NATO.

00:09:29.000 They don't want the US to help Ukraine fight against its forces.

00:09:33.000 They have been consistent in what they've said this whole time.

00:09:35.000 Now, I don't agree with everything that Russia is doing.

00:09:37.000 On the other hand, what did the Biden administration think was going to happen when they were like, no, it's fine.

00:09:42.000 Go ahead and use these weapons.

00:09:43.000 Russia will be be cool about it? Like, I just don't understand the logic.

00:09:46.000 And again, there's a certain level of of arrogance, I think, coming from the Biden-Harris

00:09:50.000 administration saying like, oh, well, we can keep telling the American people we're not

00:09:54.000 involved. We're just we're doing the right thing. We're helping Ukraine when actually we

00:09:57.000 have every signal that they are doing everything they can to escalate this war.

00:10:01.000 He went on to say it would be a fatal mistake in the part of the West to think that Russia

00:10:04.000 was not ready to use tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine and spoke of the potential

00:10:09.000 to strike unnamed hostile countries with strategic nuclear weapons. How are you guys doing?

00:10:17.000 This is stupid. 1.00

00:10:18.000 What is the leadership here doing? 1.00

00:10:20.000 It's a game of chicken.

00:10:22.000 The West does not want to lose Ukraine.

00:10:25.000 Russia does not want the West to take Ukraine.

00:10:28.000 And so what we are seeing is the snowflakes in the avalanche.

00:10:32.000 It's the grain of sands being added to a heap.

00:10:35.000 The U.S.

00:10:35.000 does not want to outright just dive straight in with sending in NATO forces into Ukraine and going to war with Russia.

00:10:41.000 They're only doing what they hope they have to do, and Russia's doing the same. 0.98

00:10:45.000 This means every time one side is pushed back, the other side will escalate.

00:10:52.000 Russia gets pushed back in the Donbass, then they escalate with artillery strikes and they start expanding.

00:10:57.000 So then the U.S., NATO, and Ukraine, seeing the Ukrainian forces losing, a CIA official already predicting that Ukraine will lose the war by the end of the year.

00:11:08.000 What does the U.S.

00:11:08.000 do?

00:11:09.000 They say, turn it up a notch.

00:11:10.000 Deploy long-range rockets into Ukraine and tell them to strike in Russia to push them back. 0.84

00:11:16.000 Russia is now likely going to respond with an escalation of their own.

00:11:20.000 There's not going to be a very simple shot heard around the world.

00:11:23.000 This war will be going on for some time, but maybe...

00:11:27.000 Maybe we're not quite at the point of a World War III.

00:11:29.000 Maybe that will be if and when Russia fires a tactical nuclear strike somewhere in Ukraine to advance their position on the battlefield or to maintain their control of the Donbass region.

00:11:42.000 The administration, they want the best of both worlds.

00:11:44.000 They want to be able to say we're not at war, meanwhile being at war.

00:11:47.000 And it's just this language game of, you know, oh, is it Western forces?

00:11:52.000 I mean, it's not that simple.

00:11:55.000 You point out the language game and I think that's something that the American people are going to have to start deciding that they want to see through.

00:12:01.000 You're going to have to go by actions and not really go by what people are saying.

00:12:08.000 It's clear that... These are legal definitions around, you know, what constitutes Western forces.

00:12:13.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:12:14.000 I mean, that's my point.

00:12:16.000 They'll use the proper terminology to say that they're doing things legally, and they'll articulate it in a way that, should it be brought into a court, it would be, you know, tight as a drum and whatever, and then they're just going to do whatever they want.

00:12:30.000 That is pretty purely obvious.

00:12:34.000 So the American people, the only the only option we have is the is the American people have to decide that they want to vote a different way.

00:12:39.000 They have they want to decide that they want to vote for people that will not behave this way.

00:12:44.000 Right.

00:12:44.000 And to not get them further entrenched in foreign conflicts.

00:12:47.000 Right.

00:12:47.000 Like I don't think anything done under the Biden administration internationally has really been to, or I should say very few things, but

00:12:54.000 definitely not in Ukraine or Israel.

00:12:55.000 I don't think we are benefiting the American people who we have an obligation to first. 0.98

00:12:59.000 I think we're not even helping the Ukrainians in this point because we're just looking to 0.99

00:13:03.000 escalate war, which always results in more death.

00:13:06.000 There's no honor in war anymore.

00:13:08.000 It's just, it's just manipulation.

00:13:10.000 I mean, yeah, not that there was fair enough.

00:13:12.000 Yeah, I mean, but I mean, you know, you can't just declare it.

00:13:16.000 No one declares war anymore.

00:13:19.000 Europeans have some weird kind of sense of honor in war at, you know, during perhaps like the colonial era in the United States.

00:13:28.000 If someone waves the white flag, respect them and let them come in. 0.96

00:13:30.000 Well, you kind of had to because if you don't communicate, you can't end the war.

00:13:33.000 How do you accept a surrender?

00:13:34.000 So if someone waves the flag, you don't fire on them.

00:13:36.000 And we try.

00:13:38.000 We try.

00:13:38.000 But real war?

00:13:40.000 When we're talking about people actually fighting for existential threats, no such thing as honor or integrity.

00:13:50.000 No such thing as a war crime. 0.73

00:13:52.000 They say, oh, Russia's guilty of war crimes.

00:13:54.000 That means nothing unless you win.

00:13:56.000 Russia's going to do whatever they have to do, and if they win, then it's the U.S. 0.90

00:13:59.000 that committed the war crime.

00:14:01.000 And then they'll say the U.S.

00:14:02.000 has to pay reparations or something like this.

00:14:04.000 But the U.S., of course, being very far away from this conflict and it being on Russia's doorstep, of course, Russia is never going to stop. 0.67

00:14:12.000 NATO and the United States are not going to stop either.

00:14:15.000 And so I don't know where this ends up, but perhaps this flies over the head of the average American.

00:14:21.000 The reason why I get that community note on my tweet is because deep state shills are like, we can't let people know what we're doing, so we need to do this, but no one's falling for it.

00:14:31.000 But the average person's not an ex anyway.

00:14:34.000 If Russia fires a nuclear weapon into Ukraine, there is no hiding that.

00:14:40.000 That will be a shot heard around the world moment.

00:14:43.000 And the US government, Biden, whoever, will not be able to ignore it.

00:14:47.000 Heck, maybe they're counting on it.

00:14:48.000 I mean, I think the same thing can be said from It's really easy for them to point towards NATO's actions and say, look, they are specifically threatening us.

00:14:59.000 I think of when they admitted Finland to NATO.

00:15:02.000 That doubled NATO's border with Russia, and we were just supposed to act like Russia wasn't going to see that as a threat?

00:15:09.000 Maybe Finland was right to join. 1.00

00:15:10.000 I'm not going to debate whether they should or shouldn't have been admitted.

00:15:12.000 I'm just saying everything we do to make NATO bigger on Russia's doorstep is perceived by a threat by Russian leaders.

00:15:19.000 We should abolish NATO because without NATO there is nothing that will prevent us from behaving like we have NATO.

00:15:29.000 If you say, hey, we're going to dissolve NATO, all of the countries that were in NATO can still have friendly relations, can still support each other with military action if they want to.

00:15:40.000 You can still do all that stuff.

00:15:42.000 but you don't have to have the organization that will inherently draw the United States into war

00:15:49.000 if a member nation is attacked. And it is no longer the situation where the United States

00:15:56.000 absolutely prevents aggression, right?

00:16:01.000 It is no longer the case that the United States being an ally to a country will guarantee that there will be no aggression.

00:16:10.000 There's asymmetric warfare, there's all kinds of ways to go after nation-states nowadays that are not actually big military, so the United States does not offer the same kind of protection that it used to be, or that align with the United States doesn't.

00:16:24.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I give you this story from MilitaryTimes.com.

00:16:28.000 Lawmakers move to automate selective service registration for all men.

00:16:33.000 I hope Gen Z is listening to this one, and Gen Alpha.

00:16:37.000 And I hope people who have kids who are Gen Alpha are listening to this one.

00:16:40.000 Now, to be fair, if you're a dude, you gotta sign up for the draft either way.

00:16:44.000 There hasn't been one in 50 years, so most people aren't worried about it, but I'm pretty sure if there's a World War III coming, and the US thinks it may be the case, yeah, they're gonna draft all of you. 0.85

00:16:55.000 Now, I'm fortunate enough that I'm old.

00:16:58.000 I am 38, and so...

00:17:01.000 I gotta worry about it.

00:17:03.000 When you're between like 18 and 26, you're just like, oh, I hope a war doesn't break out

00:17:08.000 where they're gonna make me fight it.

00:17:09.000 And I don't gotta go fight for these crackpots, but Gen Alpha and Gen Z will have to.

00:17:13.000 What is the cutoff for what age?

00:17:16.000 And how are we defining men in the modern vernacular?

00:17:19.000 So it'll go forever, right?

00:17:21.000 If it's needed.

00:17:23.000 Right, like Ukraine's drafting women now, and the elderly. 0.96

00:17:27.000 Ukraine's pulling women and the elderly to the front lines, and there's no training.

00:17:33.000 They grab a guy off the street, there's videos of them, they'll grab a guy off the street and be like, you're going to war.

00:17:38.000 And then people freak out, like, what's happening?

00:17:39.000 They put him in a uniform, hand him a gun, and say, go.

00:17:42.000 And then they're just cannon fodder.

00:17:44.000 But they don't care.

00:17:46.000 certainly doesn't care.

00:17:46.000 The U.S.

00:17:47.000 NATO doesn't care.

00:17:48.000 A new plan from House lawmakers would automatically register men for a potential military draft when they hit 18, avoiding potential legal consequences connected to failing to file the paperwork at a proper time.

00:17:48.000 So here's the story.

00:17:58.000 Language included in the House Armed Services Committee's draft of the annual defense authorization bill would mandate the automatic registration of all males between 18 and 26 living in America in the Selective Service System.

00:18:10.000 The federal database used for a military draft in the case of a national emergency.

00:18:13.000 It hasn't been used for that purpose in 52 years, but men who fail to register can face a host of legal consequences.

00:18:19.000 Now, I wonder what would be happening right now, where you have a Democrat, Chrissy Houlihan, sponsoring the automatic registration language, calling it both a money-saving and common-sense reform.

00:18:31.000 Why?

00:18:33.000 I tell you this, I can assure you right now, The majority of young men will never agree to fight in a nation where women do not have to, but are granted equal say in government, politics, and favor in courts. 0.57

00:18:49.000 There is a huge issue right now with the rise of the likes of Andrew Tate and Pearl Davis, and now you've got HOMAF.

00:18:56.000 And these channels exist for a reason.

00:18:58.000 Young men are not happy with the disproportionate, the second-class citizen system as related to things like Selective Service.

00:19:08.000 You go to an 18-year-old guy and say, you will be forced to fight and die for a country because a female politician, who does not have to do it, mandated you do so. 0.65

00:19:18.000 Now you go back in time, and a guy says, I am going to go fight and die, and you are expected to do the same, and a lot of guys were like, it's our duty, we all do it.

00:19:29.000 Now you have a system where you have a bunch of elite multi-millionaire women like Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats who would vote in favor of this, not to mention older guys who don't have to fight, telling young men they have to go fight and die. 1.00

00:19:40.000 One of the big reasons why the draft is not popular in the first place is because you have elite older men forcing young people to go fight and die for them and their wars and they don't have to.

00:19:49.000 I say we take it all the way back to 1900s when they tried passing this bill I think it was an amendment that said if you vote in favor of war, you have to go fight for it.

00:19:58.000 They said we'll put an amendment saying we vote on whether to declare war directly and then if you vote yes, you're conscripted on the spot.

00:20:05.000 It's going to be interesting to see what happens right now with the current state of how young men are viewing the world and the rise of these angry young men who are pissed off about this system.

00:20:15.000 Are politicians exempt?

00:20:18.000 Well, no, it's an age thing.

00:20:21.000 You're not going to be in Congress if you're under 25. 0.99

00:20:24.000 So they're drafting only young guys.

00:20:28.000 And typically people who can't afford to pay someone to go in their stead.

00:20:31.000 That's what they used to do back in the day.

00:20:32.000 If you were rich, you could pay someone to go to the draft for you.

00:20:35.000 So if you got called in, they'd be like, okay, here's money.

00:20:37.000 He'll do it.

00:20:40.000 But I don't know if it's actually going to take off or if it's going to happen, but I do think it's interesting that they're actively trying to do it right now of all times.

00:20:48.000 Yeah.

00:20:49.000 I do think it's fair for men to question why the standard, you know, if feminism's so great and we all want equality, why are they still expected to be in the Selective Service?

00:21:00.000 I wouldn't want women to be drafted. 1.00

00:21:02.000 I also think men and women are not the same when in combat, but I think you can't have culture saying one thing and then be like, but

00:21:10.000 actually in this case you guys have to do this.

00:21:12.000 This impulse that to basically get rid of men and women, it has a name, so people,

00:21:19.000 and there's a lot of people that aren't familiar with it, but it has a name,

00:21:22.000 it's called gender abolitionism, right? They want to abolish the concept of gender.

00:21:26.000 We laugh about- Not all the time, apparently.

00:21:29.000 Sometimes.

00:21:30.000 We chuckle about it and stuff, but I tell you what, I was telling the guys in the band that in 2015, I was like, trans people are going to be a big deal.

00:21:39.000 It's going to be a national conversation.

00:21:41.000 And watch, you'll see. 0.99

00:21:42.000 And they're like, you're crazy, Phil. 0.98

00:21:44.000 So I'm telling you right now, if you don't believe me, Google it. 0.97

00:21:48.000 Gender abolitionism. 0.99

00:21:49.000 They want to get rid of the concept of gender between men and women.

00:21:53.000 That is impossible.

00:21:55.000 It is impossible, and it will absolutely wreak havoc in our society if we try it.

00:22:02.000 We can say to trans women and trans men, we will call you she and we will be polite, but there are going to be places where you are not going to be allowed to be if you're a trans man, and there are going to be places where you're not going to be allowed to be a trans man.

00:22:16.000 Look, the military doesn't allow that already.

00:22:17.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:22:17.000 In the military, it specifically says for the draft, your identity is meaningless and void.

00:22:24.000 Yeah, serious.

00:22:25.000 I think the point of me saying that there are people that are gender abolitionists is we should have people that change that policy in the military.

00:22:32.000 My point is, the military is saying if you're a trans woman, you're a guy.

00:22:36.000 If you're a trans man, you're a woman, you can't be in the military. 1.00

00:22:38.000 They don't care.

00:22:40.000 I thought there were trans people in the military now.

00:22:42.000 If you are, you can't be drafted.

00:22:46.000 If you are a female, identify as a man, you cannot be drafted. 0.98

00:22:50.000 If you are a man who identifies as a woman, you will be drafted. 1.00

00:22:53.000 They have clarified this specifically.

00:22:56.000 Yep.

00:22:57.000 Males who identify as female are males as far as the draft is concerned.

00:23:00.000 They don't care.

00:23:02.000 When it comes to social life inside the United States, they literally don't care about this.

00:23:06.000 The military has no reason to care.

00:23:08.000 But if you're male, you're going to war. 0.62

00:23:11.000 And they're going to hand you the weapon and they're going to send you out there.

00:23:13.000 So here's a story.

00:23:15.000 BBC.

00:23:16.000 Russia's removal of border markers, unacceptable, says the EU.

00:23:19.000 So the escalation's happening.

00:23:21.000 There's a lake, and half the lake's controlled by Russia, the other half's controlled by Estonia, and Russia went out and removed the international border barriers, or the border markers.

00:23:31.000 Certainly seems like there's an escalation for conflict happening.

00:23:35.000 So I hope Gen Z is listening.

00:23:39.000 They should be excited to hear that they're first in line.

00:23:41.000 And for everybody that says that we're doomers here, just tell me where the off-ramp is.

00:23:45.000 Been saying it for a year.

00:23:47.000 You know what I'm really excited for?

00:23:49.000 I'm excited for... Have you guys seen Edge of Tomorrow?

00:23:53.000 With Tom Cruise.

00:23:53.000 Yes.

00:23:55.000 It's basically action movie Groundhog Day.

00:23:59.000 It is, yeah.

00:23:59.000 It is.

00:24:00.000 That's the one with the crazy plane stunt.

00:24:02.000 No, no.

00:24:03.000 That's all Tom Cruise movies.

00:24:05.000 Edge of Tomorrow is, there's an alien invasion.

00:24:08.000 The humans all unite together to fight against the aliens, but they're losing everywhere.

00:24:13.000 And so Tom Cruise plays a propagandist PR guy who works for the, who's in the military.

00:24:20.000 And he's like, his story is that he did ROTC and then, you know, went and ran a marketing firm.

00:24:26.000 So when it came time, he said, I'll do marketing for the military.

00:24:29.000 And then one of the generals of the Allied forces wants to send him to the front lines with a camera to film their new exosuits that they can fight with to push back on the aliens.

00:24:40.000 Oh yeah, I have seen it.

00:24:41.000 It's great!

00:24:42.000 And then he gets covered in alien blood which sends him in a time loop so every day he wakes up at the same time and then ends up destroying the aliens.

00:24:49.000 I'm excited for Harry Sisson.

00:24:51.000 You know, because he's like sitting there smiling, shaking hands with Biden, and then you know it's going to happen.

00:24:55.000 I mean, it won't be literally like that, but they're like, hey, look, when the war comes, you're going to have to convince everybody to go fight and die.

00:25:01.000 If it comes down to it, he's going to be the kid that they're going to hand the camera to, and they're going to say, have fun in Europe!

00:25:08.000 Well, and if you think Biden's such a good president, I mean, hopefully you'll be like, yes, of course, President Biden, I will go into this war.

00:25:15.000 I mean, he'll be crying.

00:25:15.000 That sounds great.

00:25:17.000 No, I doubt they would want to go.

00:25:19.000 The thing is, like, I think the anti-war sentiment in America is really strong.

00:25:22.000 So I think there are all kinds of generations that are.

00:25:26.000 Would normally be anti-war that are suddenly having to face the reality that they are advocating for a president that is pro-war, right?

00:25:33.000 You really do not see Biden supporters lining up cheering on, you know, or getting ready.

00:25:38.000 I'm going to go to Ukraine.

00:25:40.000 No.

00:25:40.000 You don't see it?

00:25:41.000 No.

00:25:41.000 They're happy to hang the flags and they're happy to have the flag flown in our Congress, but they don't actually want to be the people to be on the ground.

00:25:48.000 And I think that's the sort of maybe generational gap between generations that have faced hardship and have been closer to war times versus the younger generations today.

00:25:58.000 They don't have a concept of what it's like.

00:26:01.000 I think Russia removing the barriers is interesting, again, because this is obvious, right?

00:26:07.000 There is clearly no de-escalation plan.

00:26:10.000 And I think the Biden administration is making this worse for everybody.

00:26:14.000 I don't think they're doing anything to, you know, to stop Russia from seeing NATO as an increasing threat.

00:26:21.000 And so why wouldn't Russia increase what it's doing?

00:26:24.000 Like, this is all just more and more and more until, I don't know, what, Ukraine collapses?

00:26:30.000 What is the plan here?

00:26:31.000 And the reality is, I don't think there is one.

00:26:33.000 It's just ego versus, you know.

00:26:34.000 This is an interesting story from today, but also the least relevant.

00:26:38.000 World War 3 has already begun, claims RussianStateTV.

00:26:41.000 Literally don't care.

00:26:42.000 Well, when... Because they've said this 80 times already, so it's like, yeah, we get it.

00:26:46.000 When did World War 2 get classified as World War 2?

00:26:50.000 Like, when did people start calling it World War 2?

00:26:53.000 I can't speak for World War 2.

00:26:55.000 It was obviously sometime after the war had already started a while, a ways into it.

00:27:00.000 But this is actually a question for all wars.

00:27:00.000 Right.

00:27:03.000 Yeah.

00:27:04.000 When did people begin to refer to the war by name, and when did they realize they were in war?

00:27:08.000 And of course, the example I know much better is the Civil War, and they had no idea they were in a Civil War when the Civil War started.

00:27:15.000 They had no idea that bleeding Kansas was the lead-up to the Civil War.

00:27:18.000 When Fort Sumter happened, there was no Civil War.

00:27:23.000 We call that the start of the Civil War.

00:27:25.000 When it happened, they said, no it's not. 0.89

00:27:27.000 Are you crazy?

00:27:28.000 You'd go to somebody, and you'd say, do you think we're in a Civil War? 0.99

00:27:31.000 No.

00:27:31.000 And they'd go, what?

00:27:32.000 Then at the first battle of Bull Run in Manassas, they went on the hilltops and they picnicked, and they watched as troops lined up, and it was like, there's no civil war, and then it was a massacre.

00:27:42.000 And then they're like, oh wow, maybe we're in a civil war.

00:27:44.000 Maybe this is pretty bad.

00:27:45.000 They probably just called it the war, though.

00:27:47.000 At first it was called Rebellion.

00:27:49.000 It was Rebellion in the South, depending on who you talk to.

00:27:53.000 Then it was called the War Between States for a little while, and then about a year or two into it, they started referring to it as the U.S.

00:27:57.000 Civil War.

00:27:58.000 Abraham Lincoln was elected during the Civil War.

00:27:58.000 Yeah.

00:28:01.000 He was re-elected during war.

00:28:04.000 They just excluded southern states from the election.

00:28:06.000 So Zelensky, you know, in Ukraine, he canceled elections.

00:28:12.000 Can't have an election, he said, we're at war.

00:28:14.000 Yeah, that's not a real country.

00:28:16.000 Not a real country. 0.69

00:28:17.000 Puppet state controlled by U.S.

00:28:19.000 military powers.

00:28:20.000 So, you know, Russia keeps saying World War III has already begun.

00:28:24.000 I get it, dude.

00:28:25.000 I agree.

00:28:26.000 But we're gonna need a shot heard around the world moment that the average person wakes up to.

00:28:32.000 I'll put it this way.

00:28:34.000 And it's the same thing for any conflict.

00:28:36.000 Civil War, maybe.

00:28:36.000 U.S.

00:28:37.000 I don't know.

00:28:38.000 If everything right now were to stop, like if Joe Biden came out and said, I'm just too old.

00:28:43.000 Imagine he does press conference, like, I'm too old for this.

00:28:45.000 You know, I got these guys screaming in my ear from the intelligence agencies about how Trump's gotta be stopped.

00:28:49.000 No, I'm done.

00:28:51.000 I'm resigning.

00:28:52.000 Donald Trump should win the presidency.

00:28:54.000 It's enough fighting in this country.

00:28:55.000 We're going to come together and everyone's like, wow, what's going on?

00:28:57.000 And Trump wins.

00:28:58.000 And Trump says, you know, we're going to, we're going to mend this nation.

00:29:00.000 We're going to bring everyone together.

00:29:01.000 And I bet, wow, we're watching de-escalation.

00:29:04.000 That's never going to happen.

00:29:05.000 That's an absurdity.

00:29:07.000 Same thing is true for what's going on in Europe right now.

00:29:09.000 There's no point at which Russia comes out and says, guys, we're sorry.

00:29:13.000 Our border nations will be controlled by NATO.

00:29:16.000 We're totally cool with it.

00:29:17.000 We will surrender Crimea and our access to the Black Sea. 0.98

00:29:20.000 We will surrender our access to the Mediterranean.

00:29:22.000 And we will no longer sell energy to European nations.

00:29:26.000 Never gonna happen.

00:29:27.000 I also don't think Zelensky would ever want America to withdraw the monetary and military influence that they have there, right?

00:29:33.000 He's giving Biden a hard time for not coming to this peace summit in a couple weeks.

00:29:37.000 There is a level of like, it has done his presidency wonders to have this conflict, to be a wartime president.

00:29:42.000 It literally allowed him to stay in office.

00:29:44.000 Zelensky? 0.85

00:29:44.000 Yeah. 0.85

00:29:45.000 Well, that's like saying the janitor of a company doesn't want his employer to remove the trash cans.

00:29:50.000 Maybe, but I think the other thing is that he is not really incentivized to de-escalate this war, right?

00:29:56.000 He has no authority.

00:29:58.000 Right, but also if you know the U.S.

00:30:00.000 is going to write a blank check and you get to stay president, because isn't he term limited?

00:30:03.000 He's supposed to be out, but he said... No, no, no, but I'm confused because...

00:30:07.000 He's not a president of a country. 0.94

00:30:09.000 He's a janitor. 0.93

00:30:10.000 I know, but hypothetically.

00:30:12.000 His wants and needs are completely immaterial to what the U.S.

00:30:14.000 is doing in Ukraine.

00:30:16.000 The idea that Zelensky is like, I'm president and I hope I win again is like just, you know, come on.

00:30:21.000 Well, he doesn't need to win again because he can just be the president until he decides elections come back.

00:30:25.000 I get what you're saying.

00:30:25.000 Well, no.

00:30:26.000 It's whatever Biden says.

00:30:28.000 It's what Biden says.

00:30:28.000 It's not whatever.

00:30:29.000 I get that.

00:30:29.000 But I'm also making the point that Zelensky is benefiting from this.

00:30:33.000 Like, he can comply with whatever Biden's doing.

00:30:35.000 There's no benefit for him for resisting Biden.

00:30:37.000 Sure.

00:30:37.000 Like the way a janitor benefits by getting a paycheck for being paid to clean up the floors.

00:30:40.000 Sure.

00:30:41.000 I mean, any kind of henchman in a corrupt company would benefit from it.

00:30:45.000 Zelensky is the employee of the West.

00:30:48.000 He is there to do the job he's instructed to do and that's it.

00:30:51.000 His elections don't matter.

00:30:53.000 There's already no elections.

00:30:55.000 He's just an employee as far as anyone would be concerned as to what's actually happening in that country.

00:31:01.000 He has to get permission from Joe Biden to use weapons against Russia?

00:31:04.000 Yeah, because he's an employee.

00:31:05.000 That's it.

00:31:06.000 Maybe an employee, a servant is a better word, under the command of.

00:31:11.000 There's no elections because Biden and military intelligence, CIA said, there's not going to be elections.

00:31:17.000 We don't, we're not going to change out who, which puppet we're using for control of Ukraine. 0.86

00:31:23.000 So just don't do it.

00:31:24.000 And there's no one in Ukraine who can resist.

00:31:27.000 And no country is going to intervene on behalf of Ukrainians.

00:31:29.000 They fled.

00:31:31.000 The people that I knew from Ukraine have fled a long time ago.

00:31:33.000 They don't live there anymore.

00:31:35.000 Can't even... I mean, and if Ukraine falls, then 20 years from now it'll be like, oh, so you're Ukrainian? 0.98

00:31:41.000 Wow.

00:31:43.000 So what is it like now that there's no Ukraine anymore?

00:31:45.000 There's no country called Ukraine.

00:31:47.000 Remember Bohemia?

00:31:48.000 I knew a guy who was Bohemian.

00:31:50.000 Ain't no Bohemia anymore.

00:31:52.000 All right, well, let's bring it back home for all you guys, because we're here to just ruin your day.

00:31:57.000 This is from NBC News.

00:31:59.000 World Health Organization confirms first death in Mexico from bird flu never seen in humans.

00:32:04.000 The 59-year-old was the first lab-confirmed human case of the infection with an H5N2 subtype of the virus, which has been reported in poultry in the country.

00:32:14.000 How dare you blame chickens?

00:32:16.000 Look at them.

00:32:17.000 They ain't doing nothing wrong.

00:32:18.000 You put them there.

00:32:20.000 Flock of white broiler chickens.

00:32:20.000 Have a look at this.

00:32:22.000 Indeed it is.

00:32:24.000 The World Health Organization said on Wednesday a death was caused by the first laboratory confirmed case of infection with a subtype of avian influenza.

00:32:31.000 This was the first laboratory confirmed human case of the infection with H5N2.

00:32:35.000 We read that already.

00:32:36.000 The victim had no history of exposure to poultry or other animals.

00:32:38.000 The person had multiple underlying medical conditions and had been bedridden for three weeks for other reasons prior to the onset of acute symptoms.

00:32:46.000 This story is going massively viral because people think we are going to get another lockdown.

00:32:53.000 It doesn't seem like it's actually dangerous enough.

00:32:54.000 They said that he had underlying conditions, etc.

00:32:58.000 So it's likely that they're reporting this because they're looking for clicks.

00:33:03.000 But at the same time, I don't think that it's out of the question that something like that could happen.

00:33:07.000 But they've been warning about bird flu for like six months.

00:33:09.000 For a long time, yeah.

00:33:10.000 And they were saying that it's got respiratory symptoms a couple weeks ago.

00:33:13.000 I mean, they've been warning about this for a while.

00:33:16.000 I don't know if you could – there are parts of the population that would probably agree to lockdown.

00:33:23.000 What I find interesting about the bird flu cases is that they're kind of attaching to everything.

00:33:26.000 Like for a while the US health authorities were saying, don't drink raw milk because bird flu.

00:33:31.000 And it just seems like it will become the boogeyman maybe for lockdowns but also maybe to give up alternative lifestyles that the government doesn't want you to have.

00:33:41.000 And it's not just in Mexico, because we've had these stories popping up quite a bit.

00:33:45.000 Reuters says bird flu reported in Iowa dairy herd, expanding U.S.

00:33:48.000 outbreak in cows.

00:33:50.000 Come on.

00:33:51.000 They're saying they're culling millions of chickens.

00:33:53.000 They're saying it's in cows now.

00:33:54.000 It's spread to mammals.

00:33:56.000 Now they're saying someone died from it.

00:33:58.000 It certainly looks like they are planting the seeds to get to the point where, in a couple months, they're going to be like, the threat of bird flu is too great.

00:34:05.000 It's got a 60% mortality rate.

00:34:08.000 We're locking everything down.

00:34:11.000 I mean, it's definitely not out of the question, because they've done it.

00:34:16.000 You know, whether or not this is... Cow flu.

00:34:19.000 Whether this is the actual thing that they pull the trigger on, or that would make the people in positions of power decide, okay, we need to go ahead and do this, because they know that it wouldn't be easy the second time.

00:34:32.000 There would be much more resistance.

00:34:34.000 They don't need a lockdown.

00:34:35.000 They need only a guideline.

00:34:37.000 Because as we saw in 2020, the lockdowns were mostly private.

00:34:41.000 Guidelines were issued and private businesses decided to require mandates.

00:34:47.000 So what happens then is insurance companies require mandates, but not even that.

00:34:52.000 This is what we predicted a couple of years ago.

00:34:54.000 First, we thought it was going to be COVID again, but now it's looking like maybe it'll be bird flu.

00:34:58.000 They're going to come out and say, we are not locking down.

00:35:02.000 The economy can't handle it.

00:35:03.000 We wouldn't do that to you guys.

00:35:05.000 We all agree.

00:35:06.000 But we think you guys should be aware of the risks.

00:35:09.000 Now, because of the risks, and no lockdowns, but because of the risks, we're going to have universal mail-in voting as an option for all of you who are concerned and don't want to congregate at polling stations.

00:35:24.000 So we'll be sending out your universal mail-in ballot.

00:35:28.000 Every single person.

00:35:29.000 And, you know, we're good. 0.96

00:35:31.000 And if you want to protect yourself, maybe take this shot.

00:35:36.000 I don't know about bird flu for that.

00:35:37.000 I mean, they already do the flu vaccines and stuff.

00:35:39.000 But I think the bigger issue is how can they get universal mail-in voting pushed harder and further?

00:35:46.000 So we got data out of Iowa for their elections.

00:35:50.000 We got data out of Texas's, I think, what is it, 23rd district with Brandon Herrera.

00:35:54.000 Voter turnout's apocalyptically low.

00:35:57.000 29,600, I think, was it?

00:36:00.000 29,600 people voted in a district of 778,000.

00:36:02.000 Now, how many of them are actual Republicans?

00:36:05.000 They're mostly Republican states, so let's say half a million.

00:36:07.000 And only 30,000 actually voted in the primary.

00:36:10.000 And Brennan Herrera lost by 407 votes.

00:36:11.000 That's... that's...

00:36:14.000 If Trump supporters and the right do not turn out in November, Joe Biden wins.

00:36:20.000 The polling shows that among voters who voted every election, 18, 20, 22, Biden has a 12-point advantage.

00:36:30.000 Among voters who only voted one time in the past three elections, Trump has a 12-point advantage.

00:36:37.000 If Trump supporters don't show up, Biden wins.

00:36:40.000 And maybe that's what they're counting on.

00:36:41.000 I mean, that is like it's true, but that's also true every election.

00:36:45.000 It's super important for people to get out.

00:36:46.000 And it's hard to get conservatives out if they're not excited.

00:36:49.000 I do believe that generally conservatives are going to be excited, but it's really going to boil down to everyone knows it's going to boil down to the independents.

00:36:57.000 So how do you get out to make sure that you get every single vote?

00:37:01.000 If there's not a ground game for the GOP, they are going to lose.

00:37:05.000 There is no ground game.

00:37:06.000 There's one guy, Scott Pressler.

00:37:09.000 I think there's this weird ground game of Trump being in the media and more and more people being upset about the conviction or different things like that.

00:37:15.000 Although we did see polls that said, for the most part, independents, you know, the conviction in New York made them support Trump.

00:37:22.000 On the other hand, for the most part, people have already kind of decided who they're voting for.

00:37:26.000 I think the biggest obstacle for voter turnout is always going to be basically what happens in the last eight weeks before the election.

00:37:36.000 Stuff that happens right now helps build tension, but I think people who are on the fence about going to the polls make their decision in September and October, and that's really when we're going to know what voter turnout is going to be like.

00:37:48.000 I know, I mean, obviously Scott Pressler, there are a lot of people trying to get people registered.

00:37:53.000 There's good effort.

00:37:54.000 It's not that people should be complacent now, but I think when it comes down to those really hard to get voters, it's the final days that make a decision.

00:38:02.000 I don't know how you feel about this, Bill.

00:38:05.000 Yeah, I mean, I'm curious to hear a little bit more about what your guys' experience at the Libertarian Convention, and it just seemed like Well, I mean, I think we're dried up on that one.

00:38:22.000 Okay.

00:38:23.000 Everyone's kind of just like, we're going to do a post-mortem with Dave Smith, Clint, and Angela, but the Libertarian Party has basically just nuked themselves.

00:38:32.000 They're basically Trump supporters.

00:38:35.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:38:36.000 It seems like the point that I think you've got to give credit to Trump for speaking there.

00:38:40.000 Yeah, sure.

00:38:41.000 That has a significant impact.

00:38:43.000 But yeah, it's just wild that they nominated that guy and it's just such a mess.

00:38:47.000 There was a podcast today of, I believe it's the Reason podcast, I forget what they call

00:38:52.000 it, but they were questioning Chase about the trans stuff and he did not have a convincing

00:39:01.000 Second of all, I don't think people are okay with the libertarian idea of, it's okay to trans the kids if the government isn't doing it.

00:39:11.000 I think the American people want to have something.

00:39:14.000 To nominate a guy who's like, businesses can mandate medical treatments for people.

00:39:20.000 This is the problem.

00:39:22.000 That's why people call them low libertarians.

00:39:24.000 They're the same – they're the other side of the coin of communists, idealistic, nonsensical, 1.00

00:39:32.000 mumbled garbage. 0.99

00:39:33.000 You get like Dave Smith, the Ron Paul libertarians. 0.99

00:39:36.000 They make a lot of sense.

00:39:38.000 We want sound currency.

00:39:39.000 We don't want foreign wars. 0.98

00:39:40.000 We want a country that makes sense with limited government.

00:39:42.000 I get that.

00:39:43.000 Then the Libertarian Party is basically just like – the government can't make us do

00:39:48.000 it, but private entities can.

00:39:50.000 And so then you get mandates run by private companies that demand it.

00:39:55.000 Did Dave want to get nominated?

00:39:57.000 No.

00:39:58.000 But he was running at one point.

00:40:00.000 He did not run.

00:40:01.000 He was never running.

00:40:03.000 He had a lot of support.

00:40:04.000 People wanted him to run, but I don't think- But he never ran.

00:40:06.000 Right.

00:40:07.000 He was never running.

00:40:08.000 But like, he's just like the obvious choice.

00:40:12.000 Like, I mean, he's the only way that they would have any kind of support.

00:40:17.000 Just unbelievable.

00:40:17.000 Right.

00:40:19.000 So I think what we'll likely end up seeing towards the end of the year is not lockdowns, but some kind of justification to be used I don't know.

00:40:30.000 to expand universal mail-in voting, which will maximize voter turnout, which guarantees

00:40:35.000 more Biden voters, and Trump voters aren't showing up?

00:40:38.000 I don't know.

00:40:40.000 I think it's hard to say at this point.

00:40:42.000 I think the I think I would be interested to see, like, have a campaign staffer for

00:40:50.000 Trump on the show and have them explain what they're doing a little bit more, because we

00:40:53.000 do talk about a lot again, like Scott Pressler, things like that.

00:40:57.000 Leading into midterms, there's this whole thing about the red wave and this is going to, you know, motivate people.

00:41:02.000 Obviously, Virginia was sort of a high point for some conservatives.

00:41:07.000 It wasn't exactly what had been predicted to be, and I think the variables for this election are so much more complicated.

00:41:13.000 I was listening to an interview from Michael Whatley, the chair of the RNC, and they were saying like, so how are you going to have your convention if Trump's in jail?

00:41:23.000 And he was like, we're thinking about all the contingency plans.

00:41:26.000 We're thinking about it.

00:41:27.000 I don't really know how to navigate the next couple of weeks.

00:41:30.000 It's hard to say what the atmosphere in America will be like in November.

00:41:36.000 Other than to say, I think it will be very tense.

00:41:38.000 I wonder if anyone has any idea what's going on.

00:41:40.000 Like if anyone in the Trump administration or the Biden administration, like if there's any actual plan for what's happening.

00:41:46.000 And, you know, it's like when I sat down with Trump, one of the last things he says, I was like, I hope you win.

00:41:51.000 He's like, we better.

00:41:52.000 And I'm like, They don't know.

00:41:55.000 Like, they're trying, you know what I mean?

00:41:57.000 But I'm not even convinced the Biden administration and Democrats actually have a plan.

00:42:00.000 I think they're like, let's just try and put Trump in jail.

00:42:03.000 Then what?

00:42:03.000 I don't know.

00:42:04.000 Just do it.

00:42:05.000 And that's where we're at.

00:42:06.000 I feel like he knows so much more than he's saying.

00:42:10.000 Trump?

00:42:11.000 Just, well, about things like the declassification of Epstein, JFK, 9-11.

00:42:11.000 Yeah.

00:42:18.000 Like, he looked into UFOs.

00:42:20.000 Like, he looked into all those things.

00:42:23.000 He knows he like he could be talking about that.

00:42:25.000 And I think that's how he wins.

00:42:27.000 Talk about that stuff.

00:42:28.000 Talk about what you can.

00:42:30.000 I disagree.

00:42:32.000 I think that I think you because you got to get the normies.

00:42:32.000 I disagree.

00:42:35.000 And if you to get the normies, you have to talk about literally kitchen table issues, especially considering you've got we're in a situation but not if you're going after the independence.

00:42:43.000 The independents are where you're going to get it. 0.81

00:42:44.000 You're not going to get... Look, I love the Libertarian Party, right?

00:42:47.000 But they were super pumped about Ross Ulbricht, right?

00:42:50.000 And I think Ross should be freed as well.

00:42:53.000 Ross Ulbricht does not move the needle in politics, period.

00:42:56.000 Nobody knows who he is!

00:42:57.000 Exactly.

00:42:58.000 No one cares.

00:42:59.000 No one's going to vote for Trump over Ross Ulbricht.

00:43:01.000 And the Libertarians showed you, because the people that would care about Ross the most, still booed him.

00:43:07.000 But it's not just that. 1.00

00:43:08.000 They're all morons. 1.00

00:43:10.000 I hope that they all listen, because I know a lot of them do. 1.00

00:43:13.000 Your party is a bunch of low-IQ morons. 1.00

00:43:17.000 Trump comes out and says, no war, and they're like, yay, and pardon Ross Ulbricht, yay, doesn't mention Julian Assange, and I'm like... 1.00

00:43:23.000 You know what I'm hearing more and more and more from libertarians?

00:43:26.000 Like, well, he did say he was going to really pardon Ross Ulbricht.

00:43:29.000 And I'm like, is the most important thing to you that one guy, one guy you've read about is being pardoned and not literally all of the other international issues financing?

00:43:40.000 I can mention Julian Assange, but we'll talk about the media industry in general, free press.

00:43:46.000 But the only thing they ever say is Ross Ulbricht.

00:43:48.000 And I'm like, I got to be honest, I don't care about that guy at all.

00:43:52.000 Sure, pardon him.

00:43:53.000 That's fine.

00:43:54.000 Doesn't move the needle for me.

00:43:55.000 Exactly.

00:43:56.000 Anyone I know.

00:43:56.000 I go to someone and say, what's more important to you, Ross Ulbricht or open borders?

00:43:59.000 They go, who?

00:44:00.000 Yeah.

00:44:01.000 It's a problem.

00:44:01.000 We have open borders.

00:44:02.000 And the Libertarian Party wants open borders and is screaming and cheering for Ross Ulbricht.

00:44:08.000 I'm like, it is a joke of a political party that only exists to fill its ranks with people who want to do things that are not allowed to do.

00:44:16.000 That's it.

00:44:18.000 The unifying principle of the Libertarian Party is, I, as an individual, want to do this thing that's illegal, so I'll join the Libertarian Party and then tell them that we should be allowed to do it.

00:44:26.000 And that's why none of them agree on anything, and that's why they nominated Chase Oliver.

00:44:30.000 Let's jump to this next story from the New York Times.

00:44:33.000 Georgia appeals court stays most proceedings in Trump election case.

00:44:37.000 The order means the prosecution of Donald J. Trump in Georgia is effectively frozen, at least through the presidential election.

00:44:44.000 It's over!

00:44:45.000 Yeah, seriously, wow.

00:44:45.000 Wow.

00:44:46.000 I didn't even hear about that today.

00:44:47.000 Because Fannie Willis is facing removal. 0.74

00:44:50.000 Right before 7, so.

00:44:51.000 Yeah, the Georgia Court of Appeals on Wednesday stated the criminal election interference case against Trump until an appellate panel could resolve the matter of whether the district attorney in Fulton County should be disqualified from prosecuting the case based on a conflict of interest.

00:45:03.000 In a one-page order, the court stated that any movement at the trial court level pertaining to Mr. Trump and eight other defendants who have appealed a ruling allowing the prosecutor Her name is Fannie T. Willis.

00:45:14.000 To remain on the case was stayed pending the outcome of the appeals.

00:45:19.000 And then you've got the documents cases basically being jammed up by Judge Cannon.

00:45:25.000 So it's looking like, for the most part, Trump is winning all of these, except for the local one.

00:45:30.000 And that's funny, too, because that's the one where he can't pardon himself.

00:45:33.000 Now, Georgie, he won't be able to pardon himself either.

00:45:35.000 But it's funny because a lot of people I hear people in what we call the normiverse who do not understand, and, you know, watching some of these shows on YouTube, like other podcasts, and they're like, well, if Trump just goes to jail and becomes president, he'll just pardon himself.

00:45:50.000 I'm like, yeah.

00:45:51.000 No, you can't pardon yourself for a state-level crime.

00:45:54.000 Now, honestly, what will most likely happen, if that were to happen, he would have an executive order.

00:46:00.000 It would be a national security situation.

00:46:01.000 He would say, I'm taking authority because it's a national security.

00:46:05.000 It would be some kind of national security director that they would come up with.

00:46:08.000 And he would say, OK, I'm doing this.

00:46:11.000 And then he would have them, if they protested, then the Secret Service would say, no, the president gave an order.

00:46:18.000 Because you can't have the president in jail.

00:46:21.000 If he was in jail with Secret Service, he would just turn to the Secret Service and say, open the doors.

00:46:25.000 Yep.

00:46:26.000 And they would go, okay.

00:46:27.000 And they would figure out how they make the executive order happen after the fact.

00:46:32.000 There's no local cop or corrections officer who's gonna tell the Secret Service now.

00:46:35.000 Nope.

00:46:35.000 Not gonna happen.

00:46:36.000 Nope.

00:46:37.000 Especially if he did win the election.

00:46:38.000 If they know that he did win, they're not gonna.

00:46:41.000 No.

00:46:42.000 I don't even know that it matters at this point.

00:46:44.000 I mean, I suppose winning would have to happen.

00:46:48.000 But we're in uncharted territory right now.

00:46:51.000 I mean, July 11th, something weird is going to happen.

00:46:54.000 Because I don't think they're just going to... You know, at first I was saying house arrest makes a lot of sense, and that's what I'm hearing on Fox, and many pundits are saying, yeah, they'll probably put him in an ankle bracelet, limit his ability to campaign.

00:47:04.000 I think Brandon Strzok is right.

00:47:06.000 When he was like, why would they stop now?

00:47:09.000 They've gone 100% every single, in every single facet, why stop now?

00:47:13.000 I'm like, you're right.

00:47:13.000 Why wouldn't he push them and make them put him in jail?

00:47:16.000 If every time they come down on him... Well, now they're arguing they want the gag order to remain indefinitely.

00:47:21.000 You see that?

00:47:21.000 I didn't see that either, no.

00:47:23.000 Judge Marchand, who already said, you know, has threatened Trump with jail time over the gag order.

00:47:28.000 Like, he has already floated the idea that he is willing to put Trump in jail.

00:47:33.000 Why would he not now that there's a conviction?

00:47:34.000 Like, we're saying they, but really right now it comes down to this one guy.

00:47:39.000 I don't really agree that normal people don't care about some of those issues.

00:47:43.000 I mean, fair enough on Russ Ulbricht, that's pretty niche.

00:47:47.000 But like, in terms of just basic truth about what is going on in the government, the secret stuff that everybody wants to know about... Nobody cares about it.

00:47:56.000 I don't agree, Matt.

00:47:57.000 It's a fact.

00:47:58.000 It's not.

00:47:59.000 It's a literal fact.

00:48:00.000 All the polling shows that.

00:48:02.000 You will not be able to walk up to the average person and say, do you care about the CIA?

00:48:07.000 They'll go, what do you mean?

00:48:08.000 I mean, hundreds of millions of people have crypto and they're happy that he's pushing for equity.

00:48:15.000 Not hundreds of millions of Americans.

00:48:17.000 What percentage of Americans?

00:48:18.000 A lot.

00:48:19.000 Tens of millions.

00:48:20.000 But you're talking about a financial regulatory issue that comes down to members of Congress.

00:48:25.000 People don't care.

00:48:27.000 They're going to ask, the single issue right now for everybody is immigration.

00:48:31.000 That's the largest single issue, followed by economy in general.

00:48:36.000 Why is it hard for me to buy bread and milk?

00:48:38.000 And if you go... I mean, dude, I'll bet you a hundred bucks right now that if we go to a grocery store right now and just walk up to some random people and say, what's the most pressing issue for you in this election?

00:48:48.000 They're not going to say the secret workings of the government.

00:48:50.000 Fair enough.

00:48:51.000 The economy is...

00:48:53.000 What am I even talking about?

00:48:54.000 Immigration.

00:48:55.000 Abortion.

00:48:56.000 Israel's gonna rank higher than that. 0.93

00:48:59.000 And then you might argue, like, well, isn't that stuff tied to foreign policy?

00:49:02.000 And they'll be like, sure, I guess.

00:49:04.000 They're gonna say, I wanna cease fire. 0.88

00:49:06.000 Or they're gonna say, this is ridiculous, we gotta support Israel.

00:49:09.000 And then you're gonna be like, what about the CIA and the secret government?

00:49:11.000 They're gonna say, I don't care.

00:49:13.000 Don't know, don't care what that is.

00:49:14.000 Yeah, but I think, I don't know, I don't agree.

00:49:17.000 I think people do want to hear the secret truth of what's going on and I think that it's just this lingering feeling, this uncomfortable idea that, you know, there's just kind of this shadow government that is running and they want to know what's really going on.

00:49:34.000 I think it's becoming much more of a mainstream thing.

00:49:37.000 Bro, if you went to, if you drove your car ten minutes up the road and walked into like Dairy Queen and said,

00:49:43.000 do you want to know the secrets about the inner workings of the government?

00:49:45.000 They're going to go, the what?

00:49:47.000 I don't agree, man. People have, you know, streaming services.

00:49:50.000 They watch crazy videos. Everybody's into this stuff.

00:49:52.000 Yeah, but not what you're describing.

00:49:54.000 What you're talking about is this amalgam of chaotic conspiracy ideas

00:50:00.000 that exist in various forms where you say, do you want to know the secrets of the government?

00:50:07.000 And they're thinking aliens in the pyramid, and you're thinking the CIA and Julian Assange.

00:50:10.000 Yeah, but... I'm saying if you go to someone and say... No, I'm thinking aliens.

00:50:14.000 I think that that's a totally valid issue that people...

00:50:17.000 Right, the subject of the story that we're talking about is election interference, criminal

00:50:21.000 cases in Georgia, and whether or not Donald Trump's going to go to jail.

00:50:25.000 I think a lot of...

00:50:26.000 Alright, fair enough.

00:50:28.000 And that is absolutely a key thing, which is causing mass donations to his campaign,

00:50:33.000 and everybody's very excited about it for various reasons on both sides.

00:50:37.000 But, you know, I don't know.

00:50:39.000 I just think that the best candidate for president is the one who speaks the most truth.

00:50:43.000 What kind of numbers do you think of, like, people generally pay attention to politics on a regular basis?

00:50:50.000 Like, daily consumers, right?

00:50:51.000 They're going to something every day in America.

00:50:56.000 Yeah, but that's what I'm saying.

00:50:57.000 I feel like a topic like UFOs is way more mass appealing than boring politics.

00:51:03.000 Well, the reason I say that is because we're talking about in the context of the election.

00:51:07.000 So that's why I was asking about it.

00:51:08.000 The people who care about UFOs aren't voting.

00:51:11.000 That's not true.

00:51:12.000 It is.

00:51:13.000 It is generally true, right?

00:51:16.000 So voter turnout is like 50-some-odd percent.

00:51:20.000 Okay.

00:51:21.000 The majority of people, the average person, does not go out and vote.

00:51:26.000 The average person might watch Joe Rogan and want to hear about Bigfoot.

00:51:29.000 They're not going and voting for Bigfoot as an issue, and most of those people aren't voting at all.

00:51:35.000 I mean, if it gets spoken about on the debate stage or in any major context, then it can become a voting issue.

00:51:43.000 I think the one thing that might is Epstein.

00:51:47.000 But then we're talking about a guy who is actually a criminal, high-profile, working with government agencies, and died under mysterious circumstances.

00:51:56.000 That permeates the average person.

00:51:57.000 I think if we didn't have the inflation that we had in the past year, two years or so, I think you guys might be onto something, but I think that right now, the major topic on everybody's mind is the economy.

00:52:10.000 But again, the largest single issue is immigration, followed by the economy, and I'm saying the only...

00:52:16.000 So I don't know what you're implying there, Phil, because I'm disagreeing with his idea that people care about those things.

00:52:22.000 People care about immigration, the economy, and then you go down the list and it's like the cost of rent, the price of houses, abortion, Israel-Palestine foreign policy.

00:52:32.000 But even if you go down that list... Conspiracy stuff doesn't even crack the top 30 probably.

00:52:36.000 Yeah.

00:52:37.000 But even if you go down that list, like three of the top five are economic.

00:52:41.000 No, inflation, the cost of gas and stuff.

00:52:44.000 But the point being, yes, I do agree.

00:52:47.000 The reason that I'm saying this, or the reason that I'm trying to make this point, is because, honestly, it's super depressing to me when I think about it.

00:52:55.000 I do not have a very... I think there are a vanishingly few amount of people that actually care and actually pay attention to regularly, and even fewer people that know what they're talking about when you actually present them with, like, hey, what do you think of this topic?

00:53:10.000 I'm despairing.

00:53:11.000 If you go to the average person and say, vote for Donald Trump and he's going to tell you about UFOs, they're going to say, shut up.

00:53:18.000 If he started talking about it more seriously, I mean, you have politicians, Matt Gaetz, Representative Burschat, you've got like a UFO caucus now.

00:53:27.000 They'd get offended.

00:53:28.000 What do you mean they'd get offended?

00:53:30.000 We're not seeing videos on TikTok of dads going, walking their kitchen with a bag of groceries saying, I just want to know about these UFOs!

00:53:38.000 Understood, but that's only if you think about it in the context of it not being related to the economy and not being related to the black budget.

00:53:47.000 Yes, because if... Dude, you're convincing nobody.

00:53:49.000 No, that's not true, man.

00:53:51.000 There's a video of a 19-year-old kid screaming at the top of his lungs in his car because he can't get a job, he can't pay his bills.

00:53:56.000 These people don't care about UFOs! 1.00

00:53:58.000 Fine, but the economy is connected.

00:54:00.000 If there is, and I'm not claiming, I'm not on either side of it, I'm on pro-disclosure of the information, but if there is secret technology that exists, That is, you know, some new form of energy, then that has insane economic implications that changes the whole global economy.

00:54:22.000 So you're talking about 0.1% of the population that watches those shows?

00:54:27.000 Okay, fine.

00:54:28.000 But if you can educate people that disclosure of this information is going to have major impact on the economy, their quality of life, then It can change people's perspective on it.

00:54:42.000 You don't spend, as a campaign, billions of dollars doing market research to figure out

00:54:46.000 what people respond to, only to ignore the secrets that you're describing.

00:54:50.000 The reality is, Democrats and Republicans have ideological bases that they target.

00:54:56.000 Democrats—and this is the problem with the Libertarian Party—Democrats say,

00:54:59.000 how do we maximize votes?

00:55:02.000 And right now, Democrats are losing Latino and black voters, and they're losing first-time voters.

00:55:08.000 Trump is winning in these areas, so the Democrat strategy has shifted, and now they're targeting white affluent women predominantly.

00:55:16.000 That's their target market now.

00:55:17.000 The Republicans are like, we want to go for the black community, Donald Trump is doing well, he's got endorsed by a Black Panther, the founding member, and register new voters because they lean towards Trump.

00:55:28.000 The policies of the Republicans and Democrats are, what do we have to adopt policy-wise for the party that will maximize our vote potential?

00:55:35.000 The Libertarian Party does the opposite.

00:55:37.000 The Libertarian Party says, we don't care what the population thinks, we just want what we want, and they stay.

00:55:42.000 And it's funny because Trump said 3%, which is unfair because they got 1.8 last time around.

00:55:46.000 They're that miserably bad at what they do.

00:55:49.000 So, you don't spend billions upon billions of dollars in market research to figure out what the average person cares about, only to then go, well they really do care about UFOs and government conspiracies, but we're going to ignore all of that and all of the money we spent on this research.

00:56:02.000 If that were the case, it's the only thing they'd talk about.

00:56:04.000 Talk about UFOs all day.

00:56:06.000 Well, I think that they should more, and that's why the top podcasts on the planet are talking about those things.

00:56:11.000 And if you're not talking about those things, you're not paying attention.

00:56:14.000 And that's, I think, to Trump's credit, I think that he does engage with those topics on Some level.

00:56:20.000 You know, he does not dismiss those things, and I think that that's an important strategy to continue.

00:56:26.000 The issue is, the people who care more about UFOs than, say, immigration or the economy, are not going to vote on that issue.

00:56:35.000 No one actually thinks that they're going to get any information or that it matters.

00:56:39.000 The things that motivate people are when they wake up and they can't buy milk for their kids.

00:56:42.000 All that I'm saying is that it is smart for a candidate to make, like, in the same way that he said, OK, I'm going to be pro Bitcoin and he created that political division between him and Biden.

00:56:55.000 That's a super smart strategic move.

00:56:57.000 He should do the same thing with All of those topics.

00:57:02.000 Because why not?

00:57:03.000 It's just extra fuel for him.

00:57:05.000 We got big new polling.

00:57:06.000 The May polling from Gallup.

00:57:08.000 Top issues has been released.

00:57:09.000 And what do you guys think the most important issue is?

00:57:11.000 I'm not showing it right now.

00:57:12.000 What do you think the most important issue is for the American people?

00:57:17.000 Quick guesses, quick guesses.

00:57:18.000 10 seconds.

00:57:18.000 What do you think?

00:57:19.000 Economic factors and probably- No, cost of food.

00:57:22.000 Wrong.

00:57:23.000 I mean, is it an economic thing or is it immigration?

00:57:26.000 Neither. 0.99

00:57:27.000 It's Joe Biden's failing brain! 0.63

00:57:30.000 The top issue right now with 21% is government poor leadership.

00:57:36.000 You mean the people don't feel comfortable with a disabled man holding on to the nuclear football? 0.99

00:57:44.000 Immigration has dropped from 27%, the single largest, into May at 18%.

00:57:50.000 And this has pushed government poor leadership to the forefront as the single largest.

00:57:57.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to stress, the single largest issue right now among voters, the plurality, is Joe Biden's brain don't work.

00:58:08.000 There you go.

00:58:08.000 Followed by immigration, the economy in general, and the high cost of living and inflation, and then we have poverty, hunger, and homelessness, then the federal budget deficit, then we have abortion, elections reform, unifying the country, ethics, moral, religious, family decline, foreign policy, foreign aid, focus overseas, and Having learned this important fact, from now on, all segments of TimCast IRL will be, Biden's brain is broken, here's why, and then whatever subject you're talking about matters.

00:58:41.000 Biden's brain is broken. 0.99

00:58:42.000 And that's why we gotta talk about Bitcoin. 0.98

00:58:43.000 Because that's what people want to click on. 0.93

00:58:44.000 They want to click on Biden's broken brain.

00:58:46.000 I don't know how much you guys looked at it, but the Time interview that came out today that was done at the end of May is fascinating for this reason.

00:58:52.000 They point out the fact that, you know, when asked about what's going on with China, he references Putin.

00:58:58.000 When he's asked about something that's going on in South America, he starts referencing Africa.

00:59:03.000 The state of Biden, and this is a private interview prearranged with Biden's press corps, right?

00:59:08.000 Like it couldn't have been a safer environment for him to be interviewed.

00:59:12.000 I think the Times is pretty sympathetic to him and it's still not looking good.

00:59:16.000 But I think it's interesting because when American people One of you guys were talking before, I pulled up this poll from Hamilton College that talked about or was measuring the amount of people that say that they're aware of politics, that they're engaged in the news.

00:59:30.000 And it was highest, you know, this poll is from 2022.

00:59:32.000 So it was particularly high during COVID.

00:59:34.000 I think a lot of people can explain why.

00:59:36.000 There was a lot of uncertainty.

00:59:37.000 People didn't know what was going on.

00:59:38.000 They felt like they had to watch the news to get information.

00:59:40.000 And I think with Biden's slipping leadership, both, you know, the cognitive stumbles, the physical stumbles, but also just generally conflicting signaling on the international front, I think people are starting to say things are not going well and their options are either to like close their eyes and try to avoid the media at all and stick their heads in the sand or to become really aware and kind of overthink what's going on in the U.S., for U.S.

01:00:06.000 and especially in the Biden White House.

01:00:07.000 I mean, I think that's a great idea to focus on the brain broken, like constantly, because that's such a natural human instinct to just, oh, my leader can't function.

01:00:19.000 I think it makes total sense that that's the top issue because people don't feel confident at all.

01:00:24.000 So it's wild to me that we have become such a gluttonous and successful nation that the issues that affect us now are unrelated to policy.

01:00:37.000 The issues that we truly deeply care about are turning into cultural issues and not where's the food coming from.

01:00:45.000 Now don't get me wrong, where's the food coming from is a huge issue, but I'm saying like Man, we are, we have fat homeless people.

01:00:53.000 Like, we have truly conquered, rather poorly I might add, but man, just go back a hundred, two hundred years and tell the people in this country and be like, you know, you know what people are gonna be voting on for president?

01:00:53.000 You know what I mean?

01:01:07.000 Cognitive function of the president.

01:01:08.000 That's it.

01:01:09.000 And they're going to be like, Aren't people gonna be worried?

01:01:11.000 Well, I mean, like, it's all ancillary, like, if your president's broken, can you really solve the economic problems and all that stuff?

01:01:17.000 But people are gonna be complaining about all sorts of weird things in TV shows, movies, the words that are being used, and they're gonna be like, how will you have time to do that when you are hungry and starving and winter is coming?

01:01:28.000 And I go, no, we got refrigerators, we got preserved foods, we have trucks and planes that can transport food.

01:01:33.000 You go to, you go to, um, Didn't they hide Roosevelt's condition for a while?

01:01:39.000 He couldn't walk.

01:01:39.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:01:40.000 They're in the Arctic Circle, no trees, just frozen mud everywhere.

01:01:44.000 And you can have sushi and cheeseburgers.

01:01:46.000 Didn't they hide Roosevelt's condition for a while?

01:01:51.000 Yeah.

01:01:52.000 Yeah.

01:01:53.000 And couldn't walk.

01:01:54.000 And I think that, you know, in the past there, I'm sure, have been many cases of presidents

01:01:59.000 having serious health issues.

01:02:02.000 But there was so little media pointed at them.

01:02:06.000 And media was so different back then that it was way easier to have it not be a top

01:02:11.000 And I think not being able to walk wasn't there a story about them like Like strapping him to a podium so he could stand during a speech right like they would put the you know, whatever Not being able to talk is very different than not being able to effectively communicate with the people I mean, I don't know how Not being able to stand is different from...

01:02:28.000 Walk.

01:02:29.000 Oh.

01:02:30.000 Oh, he said walk?

01:02:31.000 I think he meant walk.

01:02:32.000 He said talk.

01:02:33.000 He said talk.

01:02:34.000 I think Biden not being able to talk is a worse problem for them to have to deal with

01:02:37.000 than someone not being able to walk or stand, right?

01:02:40.000 The physical ailment is serious, but it was more about, like, you expect your leader to

01:02:46.000 be strong and doing all these things and you do whatever.

01:02:48.000 Like Biden falls off the bicycle.

01:02:50.000 That is embarrassing.

01:02:52.000 It is way worse to me that he can't remember which leader he's being asked about in a direct interview.

01:02:58.000 I think that the cognitive ability is something you can't hide.

01:03:02.000 And remember that he gets a clean bill of health every year from the White House doctor.

01:03:06.000 I love when they put this out.

01:03:07.000 I wait for it.

01:03:08.000 That's the conspiracy.

01:03:08.000 They delay putting it out for as long as possible, and then when it finally comes out, they don't even release it regularly.

01:03:14.000 They won't release a PDF copy.

01:03:16.000 You have to find the link and go for it.

01:03:18.000 And they'll be like, oh, well, he's got some acid reflux, but other than that, he seems okay.

01:03:24.000 This is obviously a huge lie to the American people, and I think it is a strange position for the party that's saying, like, well, we released the White House visitor logs.

01:03:33.000 We're really transparent.

01:03:34.000 They're the ones that want all kinds of crazy things to also be the ones that won't confront the reality that something is clearly wrong.

01:03:42.000 Yeah, the issue, though, I mean, so, Tim, what do you think is the percentage likelihood that it's Biden and not somebody else?

01:03:51.000 For the nomination?

01:03:53.000 I don't know, man.

01:03:54.000 I think there's a strong possibility it's not going to be Biden, even right now.

01:03:58.000 I thought he was going to be out by March, but I wonder if they have no plan at all.

01:04:06.000 None.

01:04:07.000 And so they're just like, the ship has crashed, steal as much silverware as you can before the ship goes down, and then GTFO.

01:04:14.000 Because otherwise, you know, it's such an easy strategy to just hammer on the brain broken.

01:04:20.000 It's so clear.

01:04:22.000 Yeah, people don't feel comfortable.

01:04:25.000 I'm so excited for this debate.

01:04:26.000 It's gonna be wild.

01:04:27.000 We're probably gonna be sitting here, and I'm just gonna, like, we got a popcorn machine now.

01:04:32.000 I think we'll just make a bunch of popcorn, and we won't, we'll just watch.

01:04:34.000 And, like, normally we do the commentary thing, but, like, nah, Biden's gonna be like, what's the date on the 27th of June?

01:04:41.000 And then two days later, it's the fight.

01:04:44.000 Conor McGregor, I think. 0.97

01:04:45.000 Sick. 0.90

01:04:45.000 Yeah. 0.90

01:04:46.000 I mean, so the New Jersey primary is yesterday, and I think it's something like over 6% of the write-in vote was not Biden, right?

01:04:53.000 And that's actually not a cognitive commentary.

01:04:55.000 That's, again, a geopolitical that has to do with Hamas, Israel, and Palestine.

01:05:00.000 But people either don't want him for ideological reasons, or they don't look at him and say, we're confident you can make it.

01:05:07.000 This is a very strange position for an incumbent president to be in, where people are saying, You just don't make me feel safe either because you can't talk or because I think you're gonna send us to war.

01:05:18.000 Well maybe the point of the criminal trials against Trump is to make sure he doesn't talk about real issues.

01:05:23.000 So that he's constantly just going, they're putting me in jail!

01:05:26.000 It's not fair!

01:05:27.000 And then regular Americans are like, I don't care about this.

01:05:29.000 It also means the Biden administration can just be like, look at this guy, the convicted felon.

01:05:34.000 Don't ask us any specific policy questions.

01:05:36.000 If Trump came out and said, here's what I'm going to do to help cover your bills.

01:05:40.000 Here's what I'm going to do to make your gas cheaper.

01:05:42.000 They're trying to lock me up because I have plans and they don't.

01:05:44.000 That would work.

01:05:45.000 But I think, you know, his rallies are funny, but I wonder if, I'm not saying Trump's falling for it, but I wonder if their strategy is just make sure he doesn't talk about the issues Americans care about and are actually worried about.

01:05:57.000 Yeah, it's good for him to acknowledge the situation that he's in but not fall too much into the victim non-stop mindset and just stay focused on actual issues.

01:06:08.000 And I think you could – I mean, again, I always think Trump should be on the offensive here.

01:06:12.000 I'm interested in the debate because – not because I think we'll have any intelligent, nuanced conversation about policy, but I do think it would be interesting to see Trump be on the offensive and say, Biden, you have to explain why America is in the state that it's in right now.

01:06:26.000 Why are we looking at conflict internationally on so many fronts?

01:06:29.000 Why do people feel like there is no way out?

01:06:31.000 They're sort of in an economic downward spiral because everything is so expensive.

01:06:36.000 What's going on with our border?

01:06:37.000 Why are you not being held accountable?

01:06:39.000 Trump has a lot of punches to throw in this respect.

01:06:42.000 And if the moderator and Biden are able to say, well, you were just convicted in a trial and Trump Doesn't just push it aside and keep pushing on Biden's record.

01:06:52.000 You know, it's showing that there's definitely a way to distract him from the advantage that he could lean into.

01:07:01.000 Perhaps.

01:07:04.000 I think that the best strategy that Trump has is just to just continue to... What?

01:07:10.000 The fight's off?

01:07:12.000 UFC 303 is off?

01:07:12.000 What?

01:07:14.000 What happened?

01:07:16.000 Oh, what?

01:07:18.000 No.

01:07:20.000 Really?

01:07:21.000 Yeah, they removed 303?

01:07:23.000 Conor McGregor cancelled press conference?

01:07:23.000 Why?

01:07:27.000 Oh, that's not fun.

01:07:29.000 Is the fight really getting cancelled?

01:07:30.000 Oh man, I will plots!

01:07:32.000 If they send him to jail, he's gonna raise a billion dollars.

01:07:35.000 Of course.

01:07:36.000 Yeah, but doesn't mean they won't send him to jail.

01:07:38.000 Right.

01:07:40.000 We got this story for you guys.

01:07:41.000 I'd like to congratulate our good friend.

01:07:44.000 This is, what's his name?

01:07:47.000 Rep Donald Payne Jr.

01:07:48.000 Congratulations, good sir, for winning an election from beyond the grave. 0.98

01:07:53.000 Sick. 0.99

01:07:54.000 A dead Democrat won his primary. 0.97

01:07:56.000 His office, so he had a heart attack and his office initially was like, everything is fine.

01:08:00.000 No worries.

01:08:01.000 He's going to be back soon.

01:08:02.000 And then it came out that actually he had been on a ventilator for weeks.

01:08:05.000 He was in a coma and his office was like, he's recovering.

01:08:08.000 No, also he took the seat that his dad previously, his dad died vacated seat.

01:08:13.000 He got this seat.

01:08:14.000 It's a cursed seat!

01:08:16.000 Obviously death is sad.

01:08:18.000 This has happened a couple times before.

01:08:19.000 Hale Boggs went missing in Alaska, but it was so close to his primary.

01:08:25.000 His name was already on it.

01:08:26.000 He won anyways.

01:08:27.000 So it does happen on occasion, but I think Democrats in Congress are in a weird position.

01:08:33.000 We know the margin is really tight right now.

01:08:35.000 It's only like four seats difference.

01:08:38.000 New Jersey's 10th district is cursed?

01:08:42.000 And if you are running for Congress, you could fall victim to that curse.

01:08:46.000 Well, what if there's a new election and, you know, a Republican wins it or something else happens?

01:08:51.000 Then he has a heart attack.

01:08:53.000 And a ghost!

01:08:54.000 Eventually they're like, we'll just put a ghost in.

01:08:55.000 They're in the best shape to hold this.

01:08:58.000 It's not term limited, so the ghost stays in for a hundred years.

01:09:01.000 The real story is that people voted for him.

01:09:04.000 Why?

01:09:06.000 Because people don't care about anything.

01:09:08.000 Mostly don't pay attention.

01:09:09.000 They don't care.

01:09:11.000 All they care about is, Democrat?

01:09:13.000 Republican?

01:09:13.000 Yeah, and I seriously wonder, did any of them know he had died?

01:09:16.000 Because again, his office was weird about it.

01:09:19.000 I mean, I remember his passing.

01:09:21.000 It's very sad for his family, you know, his young children.

01:09:24.000 Again, his office had been a little bit sketchy about not being honest about the fact that he wasn't in good conditions, that things were looking pretty serious.

01:09:32.000 And so theoretically, that would have been the time when voters were like, oh, no, maybe we've got to like plan ahead.

01:09:37.000 Nobody even tried to run against him?

01:09:40.000 That's wild, man.

01:09:42.000 And then people who went and voted, they were like, I'll vote for this guy because he has a DNA.

01:09:45.000 I say we abolish ballots.

01:09:48.000 Abolish.

01:09:49.000 Solves all the problems.

01:09:51.000 How do you, what's your plan?

01:09:54.000 You want to vote for someone, you got to write their name down.

01:09:57.000 That's how it used to be.

01:09:58.000 Before the Civil War, you had to write someone's name down.

01:10:00.000 And what would happen is political parties would give people ballots being like, here's a list of the candidates that we like.

01:10:06.000 So what would happen is if we got rid of ballots, Democrats wouldn't give out, there'd be no mail-in ballots anymore.

01:10:11.000 It would literally, they'd bring you a flyer being like, when you go to vote, vote for these people.

01:10:15.000 And anything that arrived in the mail for voting would be blank.

01:10:18.000 And so they'd be like, here's a list of names to write in.

01:10:21.000 People wouldn't do it.

01:10:22.000 They'd be like, I'm not writing all that down.

01:10:24.000 Right now you go check a box and then I can be like, get out of my face.

01:10:27.000 But you get rid of ballots, dead people aren't going to win elections anymore.

01:10:31.000 This, it didn't used to be like this.

01:10:34.000 Abolish ballots.

01:10:35.000 I mean, maybe.

01:10:36.000 Yeah, honestly.

01:10:37.000 But I think this shows... People don't have time to research all of the different... And they shouldn't vote.

01:10:42.000 Right.

01:10:43.000 Yeah.

01:10:43.000 Rock the Vote, the whole, like, Rock the Vote in the 90s was a terrible idea.

01:10:47.000 What was it?

01:10:48.000 It was a campaign on MTV.

01:10:53.000 It was when Bill Clinton went on and played sax and talked to, you know, the MTV generation.

01:10:59.000 He was cool, musician, blah, blah, blah.

01:11:01.000 But the Rock the Vote was just getting people out to vote.

01:11:05.000 And it didn't matter that they were unaware of what the thing was.

01:11:10.000 And the way that Rock the Vote was, if I recall correctly, the way that it was presented, it wasn't partisan.

01:11:18.000 You still, like, it wasn't partisan, but you still kind of got the sense that people were probably going to vote for Democrats because the Democrats were the not stuffy ones.

01:11:28.000 You know, Bill Clinton smoked pot.

01:11:29.000 You know, it was kind of like that was the vibe.

01:11:32.000 Well, it's like when Facebook, you know, pushes everybody to go vote.

01:11:35.000 It's like the vibe behind it.

01:11:38.000 You're right, but it's a hundred times less insidious back in the 90s than it is with Facebook.

01:11:43.000 Yeah, Facebook only sends notifications to Democrats.

01:11:45.000 Yeah, it's real bad.

01:11:46.000 And that's data they actually tracked.

01:11:49.000 Democrats will get a notification saying go vote, Republicans won't.

01:11:52.000 That's how the game works.

01:11:54.000 There's a lot of underhanded stuff and it's going to make it more and more likely that people are going to have less and less confidence.

01:12:05.000 Just raise the voting age to 30.

01:12:07.000 I don't see that happening.

01:12:08.000 I'm now wondering if Payne's wife is going to run in his place because the last two times, again, I'm going to reference Hale Boggs and Nick Begich when they went missing in Alaska and they won their elections, it ended up being their wives who ran and Hale Boggs' wife did win.

01:12:25.000 I think it's always weird when this stuff happens.

01:12:27.000 I think if you were to have no name on the ballot, It would have been interesting because maybe the community would, in this case, have fundamentally been like, oh, well, this person is already someone I know and who's been active in our community, and that's who I think should represent us.

01:12:41.000 But ultimately, I think it's just sort of name association, like the fact that this guy had this seat for so long after his dad held it for a long time, like this community is just sort of like, I don't know, that's the guy who does this job.

01:12:53.000 It would take more legwork for people to be aware of what's going on.

01:12:56.000 They'd have to be more plugged into their community if they were trying to have to select someone on the fly after someone has Only net taxpayers can vote.

01:13:04.000 All in favor?

01:13:06.000 I don't hate it.

01:13:07.000 I don't like... That too?

01:13:09.000 Huh?

01:13:09.000 Yay?

01:13:10.000 Yay?

01:13:10.000 Alright, the yays have it.

01:13:12.000 From now on, the court of Tim Cass has agreed, if you're not a net taxpayer, you don't get to vote.

01:13:17.000 Which basically means, like, only the top 20% of income earners in the country get to vote from now on.

01:13:23.000 So that basically means, like, everybody watching the show, you can't vote anymore.

01:13:27.000 Net taxpayer is not an easy thing to accomplish.

01:13:30.000 Because basically the way it works is, if you're spending like, if your tax bill at the end of the year is like $20K, you're not a net taxpayer.

01:13:38.000 I think it's gotta be like $60,000 or $70,000 in taxes paid before you become a net taxpayer.

01:13:44.000 Yeah.

01:13:44.000 So what's the actual definition?

01:13:46.000 It means you are paying more than you are receiving.

01:13:50.000 So the amount of people in this country who pay more than they receive is super small.

01:13:56.000 The overwhelming majority of people in this country, including the working class and middle class, are receiving more from the government than they're paying into it.

01:14:02.000 And it's overwhelmingly the wealthy that are covering the costs.

01:14:06.000 Technically, it's a modern monetary theory and the government just prints money in deficit spends into oblivion until the system crashes.

01:14:10.000 Do you actually want that?

01:14:13.000 Want what?

01:14:14.000 Net taxpayer voting?

01:14:15.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:14:17.000 I mean, I'm not saying it's a perfect solution, but the idea that anyone can show up to a polling station, vote for a dead guy, I think the dead guy should be the one in office, and no one can challenge him.

01:14:28.000 He should be the one on the ballot.

01:14:30.000 They should not remove him.

01:14:32.000 People want what they want.

01:14:33.000 If they voted for a dog, the dog is the mayor.

01:14:35.000 I've seen it happen.

01:14:35.000 Nothing's getting done.

01:14:36.000 Well, you voted for a dead guy, man.

01:14:38.000 It's your own fault.

01:14:39.000 Remember when the Republicans voted for the trans-anarchist satanist in New Hampshire?

01:14:42.000 Yeah, she almost won, too.

01:14:43.000 That's right.

01:14:44.000 She just got out of jail, too.

01:14:47.000 It was crypto stuff, though, so... Oh, weird.

01:14:50.000 So a transgender anarchist satanist ran as the Republican sheriff, I believe, right? 0.91

01:14:56.000 She was trying to run for sheriff. 1.00

01:14:57.000 And won the primary.

01:14:59.000 Yeah.

01:15:00.000 And then Republicans started freaking out like, who did I vote for?

01:15:02.000 And I was laughing.

01:15:03.000 I was like, you deserve it.

01:15:05.000 No, I mean, not really.

01:15:06.000 I mean, I guess, but it proves a great point.

01:15:09.000 People will vote for anyone as long as the right letter is next to their name.

01:15:13.000 This is not voting.

01:15:14.000 The system doesn't work.

01:15:16.000 Right now we have a contest between two warring oligarch parties about who can get the most pieces of paper with signatures on them. 0.99

01:15:25.000 No one's actually voting for anything meaningful.

01:15:27.000 And the problem is Donald Trump beat them at their own game.

01:15:31.000 So they lost their minds and now their game ain't working no more and they can't stop Trump.

01:15:35.000 So this is what they're resorting to.

01:15:37.000 But elections weren't supposed to be real.

01:15:39.000 There you go.

01:15:41.000 Elections weren't supposed to be real.

01:15:43.000 Right.

01:15:44.000 Well, I've heard before that only married men who own property and have children should vote.

01:15:48.000 So I think, you know, there's all kinds of ways we could improve the voting system.

01:15:52.000 How about only married men who own property and have children and who served in the armed forces?

01:15:57.000 Get really specific.

01:15:58.000 Interesting.

01:15:59.000 You had to have served this nation, have a real stake in the future of this nation, and that includes land and family.

01:16:09.000 I think the land and family are actually a big part of it.

01:16:11.000 I mean I think ultimately we want our voters to be engaged in our civic process and we want – I mean I remember when Vivek Ramaswamy talked about this, right?

01:16:18.000 Like you want people who feel as though they are actively participating in the society, that they have ties to the culture and especially to their communities to be the people casting votes to decide what happens here.

01:16:30.000 And I think – you know.

01:16:32.000 Again, like, dead congressmen on ballots are sort of complicated.

01:16:36.000 Did they print it already?

01:16:36.000 Should they have voted for him?

01:16:37.000 I don't know.

01:16:38.000 But I think it should be – the voters should be people who feel invested in the future of the nation.

01:16:44.000 Is there any precedent of countries having systems like you're describing?

01:16:49.000 The United States?

01:16:51.000 When?

01:16:51.000 When it first started, you had to be a landowner to vote?

01:16:54.000 Yeah.

01:16:54.000 Anyone else?

01:16:55.000 And a man?

01:16:57.000 I'm not a historian on the voting processes of other countries.

01:17:01.000 I'd imagine all of them.

01:17:03.000 In fact, I'd imagine most of them don't allow you to vote at all.

01:17:07.000 The vote was...

01:17:09.000 The vote was fairly novel in like 1800, you know what I mean?

01:17:14.000 It's not like it was common for the average man to be able to vote.

01:17:18.000 The average person, like the, you hear a lot of feminists talk about the fact that like it took so long for women to get the vote and et cetera, which is a blatant lie because if you look at on a, on a, on a societal timescale, right? 1.00

01:17:32.000 long human beings have been human beings and we've had societies, the men got the right

01:17:37.000 to vote and instantaneously, instantaneously women did. 1.00

01:17:41.000 If you look at it at a full-time scale, it was what, 50 years, 100 years?

01:17:45.000 Less than 100 years women got the vote. 0.99

01:17:47.000 So in 200,000 years that human beings have been human and 100,000 years that we've had

01:17:52.000 fairly complex societies and they didn't have votes, like you know, didn't at all.

01:17:58.000 And all men didn't have enfranchisement when the US was created.

01:18:02.000 It was only, you know, we were talking select few.

01:18:04.000 So then even beyond that, once all men got enfranchised, actually all men, it was almost instantaneously that women did too.

01:18:12.000 It's just that if you say that men oppressed women, then you can go ahead and demand goodies from the government.

01:18:18.000 I want to show you this map.

01:18:19.000 This is really funny.

01:18:21.000 This is a map of countries with women's right to vote, yes and no. 1.00

01:18:25.000 And you can see there's only one country listed where women don't have a right to vote. 1.00

01:18:27.000 You know what country that is?

01:18:29.000 It's Eritrea.

01:18:29.000 Do you want to know why that's funny?

01:18:33.000 Because North Korea is listed as yes, women can vote.

01:18:39.000 That's a good one!

01:18:40.000 I mean, Iran.

01:18:41.000 That's a good one, yeah.

01:18:43.000 Saudi Arabia.

01:18:44.000 Does Saudi Arabia have elections?

01:18:46.000 They're a kingdom!

01:18:48.000 So this is actually, yeah, in 2015 women are granted the right to vote and hold office. 1.00

01:18:52.000 There are no national elections in Saudi Arabia.

01:18:54.000 It's an absolute monarchy.

01:18:57.000 What is this map?

01:18:58.000 Look, Greenland has no data.

01:19:00.000 If you're a woman in Greenland, you can't vote.

01:19:04.000 Worldpopulationreview.com.

01:19:06.000 This is fun.

01:19:07.000 Saudi Arabia allows women to vote, but it's an absolute monarchy with no elections.

01:19:11.000 Huh?

01:19:14.000 I want to fact check this because there was all this criticism of Saudi Arabia.

01:19:16.000 I guess it's local elections.

01:19:18.000 Yeah.

01:19:18.000 And there was this, they're in charge of, I can't remember, maybe it's the UN's like feminism conference this year.

01:19:25.000 And people are like, but it's Saudi Arabia.

01:19:27.000 Like, no, they're historically not super friendly to women.

01:19:32.000 But I guess Saudi Arabia is really trying to change their image.

01:19:34.000 You know, they let women drive now with a male chaperone. 0.93

01:19:37.000 Like, it's very funny, but it's all just to appeal to the West.

01:19:41.000 I do think it's funny, too, that there are countries that are grey.

01:19:43.000 They just don't know.

01:19:45.000 Benin?

01:19:46.000 It's like, oh, they might be able to.

01:19:47.000 I'm not sure.

01:19:49.000 Guinea-Bissau?

01:19:50.000 I don't know.

01:19:51.000 What's this?

01:19:52.000 Is it Timor-Leste?

01:19:54.000 How do you pronounce that?

01:19:55.000 Timor.

01:19:56.000 I'm pretty sure you got Timor right.

01:19:57.000 New Caledonia.

01:19:59.000 Maybe they can.

01:19:59.000 Not sure.

01:20:00.000 Maybe they can't.

01:20:01.000 Maybe there are many more countries where they can't actually vote.

01:20:03.000 Let's jump to this next segment, my friends.

01:20:06.000 Trump floats putting his opponents and Hillary in jail if he wins in 2024 as MAGA plots retribution for the hush money guilty verdicts.

01:20:16.000 Uh-huh.

01:20:17.000 It's really funny because we've been talking about this, like, there should be lists of the Democrats who are going to be criminally prosecuted for the things they did.

01:20:23.000 And, like, you know, Hillary Clinton's way up on the list. 1.00

01:20:25.000 She's at the top.

01:20:26.000 Like, Fauci's way up there.

01:20:28.000 And Hillary Clinton, of course, for the Steele dossier, the financing of that. 0.92

01:20:32.000 Then there's the destruction of the public records with Bleach Bit.

01:20:34.000 Come on, the list is huge.

01:20:36.000 And the funny thing is, we mention all this.

01:20:39.000 And then what does the media do?

01:20:40.000 They report Trump supporters want to jail Alvin Bragg.

01:20:43.000 I'm like, Bragg?

01:20:45.000 He's like number 15 on the list, maybe even 40.

01:20:48.000 Like at the top of the list, we got Fauci and Hillary Clinton. 0.95

01:20:52.000 Just because it's a top of mind.

01:20:54.000 It's just the most recent thing.

01:20:55.000 Well, it's because Bannon was talking about it.

01:20:57.000 And I'm like, The media is like, Trump supporters threatened to jail Alvin Bragg, and it's like, dude, that is an understatement.

01:21:05.000 The people who are going to be criminally charged and arrested, and I want to give a shout out to the Biden administration for posting the clip from this show, where I said we will have investigations.

01:21:15.000 Donald Trump will be elected.

01:21:17.000 Okay, I'll tell you exactly how we'll do it.

01:21:20.000 Trump will be elected, and then he will appoint an attorney general that will launch investigations, and where there is evidence, warrants will be issued.

01:21:31.000 We will then take the Democrats to a room to be made comfortable, and then the prosecutors and the law enforcement officers will make a decision about what to do next.

01:21:43.000 I think it's funny that there's clearly a group of people in the Biden campaign that are assigned to watch TimCast IRL every night.

01:21:49.000 That's awesome.

01:21:50.000 Isn't that funny?

01:21:50.000 I hope you guys are doing well.

01:21:52.000 No, I think they saw one of the lefty blogs that was writing about it.

01:21:56.000 I bet there's someone who has to watch it.

01:21:58.000 And they were like, hey, let's share this clip.

01:22:00.000 And it's really funny because I'm like, we will criminally charge the people that we know committed crimes.

01:22:04.000 And they're like, they're going to arrest us for the crimes we committed.

01:22:07.000 Yes.

01:22:08.000 Uh-huh.

01:22:08.000 OK.

01:22:09.000 It's not controversial.

01:22:12.000 Let's speak neutrally.

01:22:14.000 I believe that when Trump is elected, all Democrats and Republicans who have committed crimes should be criminally charged when there's evidence and there are warrants granted by judges or grand juries, indictments returned, and they should go to jail.

01:22:29.000 You should go to jail.

01:22:31.000 Republicans and Democrats combined.

01:22:32.000 There you go, President Biden.

01:22:35.000 Hopefully that was sufficient for you.

01:22:36.000 Because I can name a handful of Republicans that we, that, you know.

01:22:40.000 How about Liz Cheney? 0.98

01:22:41.000 There was a Secret Service agent who wanted to testify that Cassidy Hutchinson was lying about Donald Trump attacking the driver of the beast, and Liz Cheney didn't want to do it. 0.99

01:22:49.000 Lying under oath.

01:22:50.000 Was she under oath?

01:22:51.000 No, Liz Cheney, well, oh, Cassidy Hutchinson, I don't know.

01:22:54.000 But Liz Cheney should be, that's obstruction. 1.00

01:22:56.000 Yep.

01:22:57.000 There you go.

01:22:58.000 The pearl clutching on the, you know, Trump says that maybe Democrats should be jailed from the left-wing media was really funny today, partially because it was like, he's suggesting he would go after his political enemies.

01:23:08.000 And, you know, rightly so.

01:23:10.000 The right wing is like, excuse me, do you guys not understand what just happened?

01:23:14.000 What people don't realize is that every person who went to a gulag got a trial.

01:23:22.000 Yeah.

01:23:23.000 There's no reality.

01:23:25.000 The Democrats are like, but a jury decided that Trump was guilty.

01:23:30.000 And it's like, uh-huh.

01:23:31.000 Do you think that when communists and Nazis took over, they didn't have trials? 0.90

01:23:35.000 Of course they did.

01:23:36.000 We call them show trials.

01:23:38.000 And then they send you away.

01:23:40.000 You should get someone from the Biden administration on the show.

01:23:43.000 Oh yeah, right.

01:23:45.000 Whoever has to watch Tim Cass, please come on the show.

01:23:48.000 What would you ask Biden if you could sit him down?

01:23:51.000 What would be the first question?

01:23:54.000 Well, I think the challenge with asking Biden any question is he's not cognizant of his own existence.

01:24:05.000 So it's like, I can ask the UFO the same question and get the same response.

01:24:10.000 You know, it's gonna be muttered garbled nonsense.

01:24:12.000 But there's a lot of questions for Biden, but I don't think any of them actually matter all that much.

01:24:16.000 Because Biden's life is long over.

01:24:20.000 He's past life expectancy.

01:24:23.000 He lacks lucidity.

01:24:26.000 So you're not going to get an answer out of him for a question that you don't already know the answer to.

01:24:32.000 Everything pertaining to Burisma, the shady dealings with his brother, the contracts they got in Iraq, all of that's out there already.

01:24:40.000 Usually you have to wait a couple decades.

01:24:45.000 When someone's in office, you don't learn the secrets right away.

01:24:48.000 It's only a decade or so later you start to learn these things.

01:24:51.000 Well, Biden's been in office for so long, we've learned most of the things.

01:24:55.000 And so what is there to really ask the guy?

01:24:57.000 I feel like Jill is way more of a power player than people realize. 0.71

01:25:02.000 Imagine all the late night ramblings that She's heard all the information that she had and she's very

01:25:09.000 good at kind of staying

01:25:12.000 behind the scenes and not in in the spotlight, but she knows a lot more than I know what I'd ask Biden if

01:25:20.000 You didn't eat breakfast yesterday. How would you have felt?

01:25:24.000 That's what I'd ask him Alright, please respond guys.

01:25:30.000 And then when he goes, what do you mean?

01:25:31.000 I had breakfast yesterday.

01:25:32.000 I'll be like, exactly.

01:25:35.000 That's the only question you need to ask.

01:25:37.000 Maybe a turning test?

01:25:38.000 I'd ask him, you are walking in the desert and you come across a turtle on its back.

01:25:44.000 Do you flip it over?

01:25:44.000 What was the question they asked in Blade Runner?

01:25:47.000 Was something like that?

01:25:48.000 Oh, I don't remember.

01:25:48.000 Yeah, it's like you come across a turtle and it's on its back.

01:25:51.000 It is being dehydrated.

01:25:53.000 Do you flip it over or whatever?

01:25:55.000 They were trying to figure out if you were a replicant or something.

01:25:59.000 Ask him those questions.

01:26:01.000 I did not know that.

01:26:01.000 The problem is like his brain doesn't work.

01:26:03.000 It's like there's no real questions to ask him.

01:26:05.000 You could ask him basic stuff like, well, here's the issue, right?

01:26:10.000 With Trump, I asked him questions.

01:26:12.000 How are you going to secure the border?

01:26:13.000 How are you going to deport all these people?

01:26:16.000 Something he said he wants to do.

01:26:18.000 Biden just lies about everything.

01:26:19.000 What am I going to ask?

01:26:20.000 Oh, Biden, you want to secure the border.

01:26:22.000 How are you going to do it?

01:26:23.000 But he's like, I'm not.

01:26:25.000 It's like, oh, so what do you want to do?

01:26:26.000 What do you actually want to do?

01:26:28.000 Okay.

01:26:28.000 Lie.

01:26:29.000 Well, and his, I mean, I've always felt this way because I've always identified as conservative, but like, it's harder for me to think about what you would ask Biden because I just know his goals are very different from, from mine.

01:26:40.000 Right.

01:26:41.000 Like I could ask him questions about, or, you know, Tim could ask him questions about immigrations, but his objectives for immigration in this country are very different than what I would go for.

01:26:48.000 Right.

01:26:49.000 He wants to have people enter the country. 1.00

01:26:52.000 This is the thing that the Democrats have I have advocated for it.

01:26:55.000 They're okay with a certain level of illegal immigration.

01:26:57.000 I am not.

01:26:58.000 It's very different than talking to someone who you believe would potentially carry out policies that you're sympathetic to.

01:27:03.000 I would be interested in asking Biden about his previous record, having him answer for his record in the Senate because it seems like so often Biden doesn't really Remember what's going on or seems like do you remember at one point there was this whole story about how he would say his first wife you know who died you know in a car accident his daughter died it's very sad uh but then he started saying that the other driver was drunk and it was a DUI situation and that driver's family had to like sue him to get him to stop like he'll say stuff that just doesn't really make sense and I would be interested in hearing an explanation for his own record to see like if he's like I never voted for that or you know whatever because like

01:27:49.000 It just doesn't seem like the Biden that was elected to Congress is the same Biden that was in the Obama White House, including and in his current White House.

01:27:57.000 I know what I'd ask him.

01:27:59.000 When you found out that your uncle was eaten by cannibals, how did that feel?

01:28:04.000 And then he'd be like, oh, man, you know, it was shocking.

01:28:07.000 And I'd say, yeah, yeah.

01:28:08.000 Remember when you were on that porch and you got arrested for defending that black family?

01:28:11.000 What was that like?

01:28:12.000 Remember when you marched with the Selma rioters?

01:28:15.000 What was that like?

01:28:15.000 Yeah.

01:28:16.000 I got it.

01:28:18.000 Did you poop?

01:28:21.000 That was a pretty viral moment.

01:28:22.000 You need a diapey change?

01:28:23.000 Who pooped? 0.96

01:28:24.000 Did you poop?

01:28:26.000 That's what I would ask.

01:28:27.000 What would you ask Biden?

01:28:28.000 I mean, the smartest thing he could do would be to go on a comedy show or something and actually have someone ask him those questions and have a sense of humor about it.

01:28:38.000 He should get interviewed by Zach Galifianakis.

01:28:42.000 And just own it. 0.82

01:28:46.000 Own his mental decline.

01:28:48.000 And try to show that there's actually someone underneath.

01:28:53.000 It's his only chance.

01:28:55.000 But he just hides.

01:28:56.000 And he won't go on long form podcasts.

01:28:59.000 It's just sad.

01:29:00.000 He doesn't possess the capability.

01:29:03.000 And I think that's part of the reason why Trump has done like podcasts and stuff like that is because he's making it clear that even if you don't like him, he can still have normal conversations where he is totally cognizant, where

01:29:16.000 he is present, even if you don't like his answers, even if he's gonna BS you, 0.53

01:29:19.000 because he's still gonna be Trump. Not saying that he's gonna be different, he's still

01:29:23.000 gonna be Donald Trump, but at least he's going to understand the questions

01:29:26.000 you're asking and be able to respond with something coherent. His

01:29:30.000 personality can carry through.

01:29:31.000 This is why we need the full hour and a half with Trump, because like the super 1.00

01:29:35.000 chat portion, if Trump's here, like yeah we obviously want people to ask

01:29:38.000 questions.

01:29:39.000 But, you know, I've talked to their team, and they said high likelihood that we end up doing like an actual full show with everyone, you know, sitting down talking with them.

01:29:47.000 And the reason for it is, because we're gonna pull up a story like dead Democrats win, like, Trump, and like, and then we'll talk and then Trump will give his thoughts.

01:29:55.000 Because Trump often talks about Big, big issues.

01:30:00.000 But having him sit down with a variety of news stories, like imagine if we were able to pull up Star Wars, right?

01:30:07.000 The Acolytes, big news, are saying it's getting woke, it's going broke. 1.00

01:30:10.000 Imagine getting to hear Trump talk about in-depth cultural issues, how he feels about movies, TV shows, and what it means for American culture.

01:30:16.000 A lot of people would groan and say, I want to hear about immigration.

01:30:19.000 Great, go watch ABC.

01:30:20.000 Trump did a million interviews about it.

01:30:21.000 Imagine you have an opportunity to sit down with Trump and hear him just give a stream of consciousness on all of these issues and what he thinks about them in a real conversation.

01:30:29.000 That would be amazing.

01:30:30.000 So we're hoping that happens at some point.

01:30:33.000 I don't know.

01:30:33.000 Maybe?

01:30:35.000 I mean, I think it would be cool.

01:30:36.000 I think this show is an unusual format.

01:30:39.000 Some people work with it.

01:30:40.000 I think Donald Trump would probably thrive here.

01:30:44.000 The thing that Donald Trump has over Biden and has had over a lot of candidates, Republicans too, is that he has such a strong personality and that he is very comfortable on camera, you know, all the years being on reality TV paying off.

01:30:58.000 I don't think Americans feel like they know Biden better after four years in the White House, right?

01:31:02.000 They don't feel like he is more of a personality.

01:31:05.000 He was sort of in Obama's shadow before.

01:31:07.000 I don't think that.

01:31:09.000 There's obviously a reason that he is not doing, like you're saying, the long-form podcast and whatever else.

01:31:13.000 And maybe it's the mental decline, but maybe there is a certain level of, like, the politician-ness of it all.

01:31:18.000 Like, he isn't a developed personality in the way that Trump is.

01:31:21.000 He's sort of looking for the cues and to say the right thing, whereas Trump is just going to say whatever is on his mind.

01:31:26.000 You know, for better or for worse, he's not necessarily going off a script.

01:31:30.000 You can't really bring a teleprompter into a long-form podcast.

01:31:34.000 I mean, I guess you could, but it would be very weird.

01:31:36.000 Yeah, we'd just be like, do you see what's going on, Trump, with Washington Post?

01:31:41.000 Half their staff is apparently, they're laying off, like their viewership is cut in half.

01:31:46.000 They're firing a bunch of people.

01:31:49.000 The boss comes in and says, like, nobody wants to read this stuff anymore. 0.99

01:31:52.000 It's garbage. 0.99

01:31:53.000 And they're like, have you thought about hiring more women of color? 1.00

01:31:56.000 I'd love to hear Trump just start talking about it. 0.99

01:31:58.000 He'd just be like, oh, these people are absolutely crazy.

01:32:00.000 You know, these companies, they used to be great and blah, blah, blah, and they just have them go off on it.

01:32:05.000 That's a real story, by the way.

01:32:06.000 The Washington Post is on the verge of collapse.

01:32:08.000 This is actually, and I'll just lightly touch on this, because this is a tweet that I wanted to get to.

01:32:13.000 Wesley Yang highlighting the Washington Post.

01:32:17.000 Actually, we'll go over this one.

01:32:19.000 We've got to talk about this.

01:32:20.000 So the Washington Post is on the verge of collapse.

01:32:24.000 The boss sounds alarm over dwindling audience and heated staff meeting.

01:32:27.000 People are not reading your stuff.

01:32:29.000 Let's not sugarcoat it.

01:32:30.000 We are losing large amounts of money.

01:32:33.000 Congratulations, Bezos.

01:32:34.000 And so Wesley Young says, It is a major inflection point a decade into the great awokening

01:32:39.000 in media.

01:32:40.000 Weiss and BuzzFeed went bankrupt rather than attempt what Wapos new editor is attempting,

01:32:45.000 because the cost of pushing back internally was always perceived as greater to them as individuals

01:32:51.000 than going along until total failure. We'll see whether all the cowards were right,

01:32:55.000 and whether it's even possible to do a turnaround.

01:32:58.000 There was a story recently from Free Press, Barry Weiss's publication,

01:33:03.000 a guy who worked at what was the name brian moynihan maybe I'm not sure.

01:33:06.000 He worked for Vice.

01:33:07.000 He was, what is it?

01:33:07.000 I'm pretty sure, yeah.

01:33:09.000 At least I'm familiar with the name, so.

01:33:09.000 One of their hosts.

01:33:11.000 And I'm not sure if I was there when he was there.

01:33:13.000 I might have been.

01:33:14.000 But he was mentioning, basically what happens is, as Vice hires more and more of these young woke people, they had to take down their own magazine covers off the wall.

01:33:24.000 Vice had a wall in their office with all of their magazine covers.

01:33:27.000 One of them said, We Heart Cops and had a cop on it, and it was meant to be tongue-in-cheek.

01:33:32.000 And the employees complained. 0.66

01:33:34.000 And so Vice, because they're cowards, were like, OK, we'll take it all down. 0.93

01:33:37.000 We'll take it all down. 0.96

01:33:38.000 It is remarkable.

01:33:40.000 I cannot believe Shane Smith was so weak.

01:33:43.000 Like, I've met the guy, I've known him well or anything, but he always came off as kind of just like a, I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna get it done, get out of my way kind of guy.

01:33:53.000 And in the moment some whiny, whinging, woke millennial showed up, he dropped to his knees and begged them and got ousted from his own company.

01:34:03.000 And I think the issue is, Wesley Yang nails it.

01:34:06.000 These people were so much more worried about what people would say about them as individuals, they decided the best course of action was strip as much resources out of the company as you can, agree with the mob, and disappear.

01:34:22.000 That's what I think we're seeing across the board in all institutions, in politics especially.

01:34:27.000 What we see with Vice is a great example of it.

01:34:30.000 Vice was edgy, shocking, and offensive.

01:34:34.000 And then a couple woke millennials got in, and they said, sell off the stock and jump ship.

01:34:39.000 Because they didn't want to be perceived as bigots or something?

01:34:42.000 I guess?

01:34:44.000 There's a very simple formula to covering news that people actually click on, which is, so it'll be interesting to see what Washington Post does after this statement, because it's not like these people don't know what they could cover and what would go viral.

01:35:03.000 It's very clear, like cover, you know, the Telegraph covered the COVID cause of excess deaths.

01:35:09.000 That article probably got insane traffic.

01:35:12.000 Because it was first time, you know, mainstream media coming out and acknowledging that.

01:35:16.000 It's like, there's very obvious topics that you cover to create traffic.

01:35:21.000 How do these people not understand?

01:35:22.000 But it's obvious the woke stuff doesn't work.

01:35:24.000 Right.

01:35:24.000 The issue is that the CEOs were like, hey, we're losing money and the woke stuff doesn't play, but we're scared of our employees because they're going to call us mean words.

01:35:33.000 So they burned their own companies to the ground.

01:35:35.000 I mean, look, this is hilarious.

01:35:37.000 The dude comes out of the Washington Post and says, we're losing money.

01:35:39.000 And they actually said, have you tried hiring black women?

01:35:42.000 Not kidding.

01:35:44.000 And then he was like, I'm gonna bring in guys I know who can make this work.

01:35:48.000 And then they responded with, you just hired three white guys. 0.95

01:35:52.000 Fire them all! 0.99

01:35:54.000 You know what? 1.00

01:35:54.000 You deserve it. 1.00

01:35:55.000 I'm happy it's happening.

01:35:56.000 Could not happen to better people.

01:35:58.000 They want to hire based on ideology instead of meritocracy, and then your company burns to the ground.

01:36:07.000 Now Vivek is buying BuzzFeed.

01:36:09.000 You saw this, right?

01:36:12.000 He keeps buying more and more.

01:36:13.000 He's surpassed eight.

01:36:15.000 I haven't checked this week where he is, but it's just climbing and climbing.

01:36:17.000 He said no plans to stop.

01:36:19.000 He's going to buy out the whole company?

01:36:21.000 Yo, that's wild because I don't know if there's anything at BuzzFeed worth salvaging.

01:36:25.000 But he's saying – I mean this is what's interesting.

01:36:28.000 His letter to BuzzFeed was like, you need to steer this ship in a different direction.

01:36:32.000 You need to hire Candace Owens. 1.00

01:36:33.000 You need to hire Aaron Rodgers.

01:36:34.000 Like you need to have the other side on here.

01:36:37.000 And basically because he has the cash to do it, he can potentially have a voice at the table that just the readership of BuzzFeed wouldn't have, which is another fascinating aspect to all of this.

01:36:47.000 Like the Washington Post, BuzzFeed, at a certain point they're going to listen to who's in their staff room, yes, but they're also going to say like, Hey boardroom, do you guys all feel this way?

01:36:54.000 Okay, that's what we're doing.

01:36:55.000 It's not actually about the readers, it's about their own perspective on the world.

01:36:58.000 I think what Vivek is doing is an institutional attack on BuzzFeed because BuzzFeed does not have... I could be wrong, I'd love to talk to Vivek about this.

01:37:07.000 I don't see BuzzFeed as having the assets worthy of buying out and fighting for.

01:37:12.000 It's a failing company.

01:37:13.000 Their stock is at, what, a couple bucks?

01:37:15.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:37:15.000 It's garbage. 1.00

01:37:16.000 Their market cap is $120 million or whatever, down from a billion. 0.98

01:37:20.000 90-plus percent drop-off from what their market cap was.

01:37:24.000 You'd be better off taking, like, the amount of money Viveca's putting in.

01:37:27.000 Start a new brand, yeah.

01:37:28.000 Yeah, $10 million?

01:37:30.000 $10 million. 0.98

01:37:31.000 Holy crap. 0.97

01:37:32.000 The things you could do with that. 0.98

01:37:33.000 Now, to be fair— Get them involved with Scanner.

01:37:36.000 Look, I suppose the argument is BuzzFeed is established and it does have readership.

01:37:41.000 And so you want to just buy that out instead of building something new.

01:37:44.000 It's not easy to build something new.

01:37:46.000 Fair point, fair point.

01:37:47.000 Ten million bucks goes a long way though.

01:37:49.000 And you could easily turn that into something substantially more valuable if you were to build your own brand.

01:37:54.000 I think what his intention is, is to de-woke-ify an institution.

01:37:59.000 Is there?

01:37:59.000 Using money.

01:38:00.000 What would you consider the best example of, you know, formerly mainstream woke pivoting and coming back to reality?

01:38:09.000 Is there an example?

01:38:10.000 Libertarian Party.

01:38:12.000 Okay, but in terms of media publication.

01:38:14.000 Oh, media publication?

01:38:14.000 None.

01:38:14.000 What do you mean?

01:38:15.000 None.

01:38:16.000 Yeah, no, I'm just asking if there's any example, like... I think the only example that we know of in modern history was the Reno Reset, the Libertarian Party, when the Mises Caucus took over in 2022.

01:38:28.000 Now, they did, and they won again, and Angela McArdle won her election again, but for a lot of reasons they nominated Chase Oliver, because, you know, it's not, it's, you know, just, the war's just over, done overnight.

01:38:41.000 But, this is one thing a lot of people were talking about at the convention, is that this is one of the only institutions we've seen actually de-wokify.

01:38:49.000 They took over, and there's still some cleaning up to do.

01:38:52.000 If Dave Smith ran, he would have won the nomination easily, but he didn't, so you end up with politicking backroom deals, and then the worst candidate gets chosen.

01:39:01.000 But they still, for the most part, de-woke-ified the core of the institution, and the people who are running the Libertarian Party are anti-woke.

01:39:07.000 So, potentially, if Ramaswami were to be able to steer the ship back towards, you know, drifting farther and farther left for BuzzFeed, it would be a pretty symbolic win of sort of, you know, nature healing itself, at least coming back towards the center.

01:39:20.000 Dude, I'd say by vice, but, like, you're better off just starting your own thing.

01:39:25.000 You know, so I can really break down for you where Vice went wrong.

01:39:30.000 And it was, they had an article that was titled something like, this horrible app can show you what women look like topless.

01:39:38.000 It was an AI app where if you took a picture of a woman, it would algorithmically generate an image of them topless.

01:39:42.000 It would generate an image of their boobs. 1.00

01:39:44.000 It wouldn't really be them.

01:39:46.000 And I was talking to some guys at Vice and I was like, guys, you wrote that article.

01:39:50.000 I'm like, do you know what the article would have been titled in 2010?

01:39:55.000 This amazing app can show you what women look like topless.

01:39:58.000 Because Vice was intentionally trying to be shocking and punk rock. 0.99

01:40:02.000 Now you're a bunch of whinging losers who are pissed off all the time. 0.98

01:40:07.000 You went from being the kid in the back of the classroom with the leather jacket on shooting spitballs to the kid at the front of the class pushing his glasses up complaining to the teacher that someone's shooting spitballs at him. 0.99

01:40:17.000 I was like, overnight you turned into that! 1.00

01:40:20.000 You were the bad boys, and now you're the whiny, preppy losers! 1.00

01:40:23.000 Is the whole news division shut down now? 1.00

01:40:25.000 At Vice?

01:40:26.000 Yeah.

01:40:27.000 Oh, it's completely gone!

01:40:28.000 Is the website up?

01:40:30.000 Like, are the old articles... I mean... I think vice.com is gone.

01:40:33.000 Uh, let's see... Oh no, it looks like... Wait.

01:40:38.000 There's a handful... Yeah, no, they're still publishing stuff.

01:40:40.000 Yeah.

01:40:41.000 Yeah, that's interesting.

01:40:42.000 I thought they effectively shut it all down.

01:40:45.000 They still got some stuff up there.

01:40:46.000 If they reached out to you and said, Tim, help us.

01:40:49.000 Oh, I'd say give me, I'd say, I'll buy the company off you.

01:40:52.000 I'll give you a hundred grand for it.

01:40:54.000 Like, what's the value?

01:40:55.000 So the thing is, Vice still produces stuff for TV.

01:40:58.000 So they still make money.

01:40:59.000 And their cable channel, this is the best part.

01:41:01.000 It's very smart as to why they got a cable channel, because it's a guaranteed contract.

01:41:05.000 When they bring your cable channel in, they're basically saying, we will give you X amount of dollars for X amount of years.

01:41:12.000 So they're like, okay, we got revenue.

01:41:14.000 So Vice still makes money, it still does stuff, but it's like, it's worthless and irrelevant to the average person.

01:41:19.000 Man, isn't that crazy?

01:41:21.000 They lost all their relevance among millennials.

01:41:23.000 They have no relevance among Gen Z. They are just a, like, does anybody actually watch Vice anymore? 0.98

01:41:30.000 I don't, I imagine no.

01:41:32.000 They still random, some of their YouTube videos get pretty good traction still.

01:41:37.000 Some of the newer ones.

01:41:38.000 They actually have YouTube videos?

01:41:40.000 Yeah.

01:41:42.000 Yeah, they do.

01:41:43.000 What's the Washington Post head's name?

01:41:47.000 Oh yeah, look at this!

01:41:49.000 They still post videos.

01:41:50.000 Yeah, they get decent views.

01:41:52.000 A couple hundred thousand.

01:41:53.000 What do they post, like a couple times a week maybe?

01:41:53.000 Yeah.

01:41:57.000 Sad.

01:42:00.000 So sad, man.

01:42:01.000 But I mean, the Washington Post guys should reach out.

01:42:03.000 They got a big one a couple weeks ago.

01:42:06.000 I would imagine some of these corporate media executives Want help, you know and like they might be willing to start covering reality I mean it seems like why is this guy making these public statements like this if he's not sort of like Asking for help.

01:42:20.000 It seems like he's having making a cry for help.

01:42:22.000 So You know, I mean it's public to the staff right like his his nobody's reading This was reportedly said and it could be wrong but in a staff meeting so right he is publicly saying it internally I guess he knows there's a there's a chance it could get leaked.

01:42:35.000 Um, I mean it would just be interesting if There is – if we see a star reporter rise to the ranks of The Washington Post who kind of is saying, I always wanted to cover this stuff and now I couldn't and now I couldn't before but now I can, it really I think depends on – to a certain point like what the writing room is willing to cook up in terms of stewardship.

01:42:57.000 We're going to go to Super Chats because we're a little bit late today, but I really wanted to read that media one.

01:43:01.000 So smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, head over to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member to support our work directly, and we're going to have a members-only show coming up for you guys, a call-in show where you as members can call in and talk to us and our guests.

01:43:16.000 It's good fun.

01:43:17.000 But for now, we'll read your Super Chats.

01:43:18.000 We got Clint Torres in the first Super Chat saying, howdy people.

01:43:22.000 Howdy.

01:43:24.000 TokenBlackGuy says, howdy people.

01:43:25.000 What do you think about Byron Donalds being Trump's VP?

01:43:27.000 I think that is a based choice.

01:43:29.000 Byron's absolutely fantastic.

01:43:33.000 You know, I don't know.

01:43:34.000 I'm not a politician.

01:43:34.000 I don't know.

01:43:36.000 I don't know good marketing and political optics and stuff like this.

01:43:39.000 I don't know who we should choose, but Byron Donalds is pretty fantastic.

01:43:44.000 All right.

01:43:46.000 IanIsMadeOutOfGraphene says, a source close to Tim Pool's office said, meow.

01:43:52.000 It was in fact Seamus.

01:43:55.000 One or two?

01:43:55.000 Which one?

01:43:57.000 One.

01:43:58.000 Yeah, the cartoonist is not here.

01:44:00.000 He's Seamus, too, by the way.

01:44:03.000 Yeah, Seamus.

01:44:04.000 Seamus One.

01:44:05.000 He was yelling.

01:44:06.000 That's what he does all day, just yells.

01:44:09.000 Let's go.

01:44:09.000 Xenon One says, I'm sure it's fine, guys.

01:44:12.000 The US can just give Russia the old oopsie daisy get well soon card with a $1 bill in it. 0.72

01:44:17.000 Just a little goof. 0.98

01:44:18.000 Just a little silly fella. 1.00

01:44:21.000 There you go. 0.96

01:44:22.000 Elkmoon says, hi Tim, we're a hard rock band in LA fighting the culture war on the front lines.

01:44:27.000 Check out our debut single, Information Monopoly, on Spotify.

01:44:30.000 We think you'll dig it both lyrically and sonically.

01:44:34.000 Sonically.

01:44:36.000 Is that the right word?

01:44:37.000 That is.

01:44:37.000 Yeah.

01:44:38.000 Sonically.

01:44:40.000 Basically they're saying we think you'll like the tones that we pick.

01:44:42.000 Yeah.

01:44:43.000 Do people say that to you?

01:44:44.000 I love the tones in that song.

01:44:47.000 People say it's more likely that someone will say I like your tone than they'll say I like it the way it is sonically.

01:44:52.000 But sonic is more grammatically correct?

01:44:54.000 You say I like your sonic?

01:44:56.000 No, I like the sonics of the record, yeah.

01:45:04.000 Let's go!

01:45:05.000 Max Reddick says, Tim, I know David Peckman has his own show, so it's hard to do, but you should try to get him on IRL or Culture War.

01:45:11.000 That dude's losing it with his TDS.

01:45:13.000 We invited David Peckman on the show before.

01:45:15.000 He just asks for money.

01:45:16.000 This is something very common among the left.

01:45:19.000 They only do shows for money.

01:45:20.000 Not all of them.

01:45:21.000 Destiny comes on when we ask.

01:45:22.000 Vosh came on a couple times.

01:45:24.000 But a lot of these personalities, they'll just be like, sure, here's my fee.

01:45:28.000 And we're like, have a nice day.

01:45:30.000 You know, we don't pay guests.

01:45:32.000 So later.

01:45:36.000 Maybe one day David will come on while I'm on The Culture War or something.

01:45:39.000 But I will tell you this.

01:45:43.000 I don't believe that David Pakman, um, and like, well, you know, look, like, Cenk Uygur likes to tweet things where he says, like, the Republicans believe all the lies from Trump, blah, blah, blah.

01:45:56.000 But when he was on the Culture War show and I calmly was bringing up details from the Ahmaud Arbery case, he lost his mind and started going, and just like, that was an exaggeration.

01:46:07.000 That was literally what he did.

01:46:08.000 And he shut down.

01:46:10.000 And I'm like, my dude, if you can't listen to a thing that happened, like, I don't know who you're talking about when you're saying they just listen to lies all the time.

01:46:18.000 But that's the reality of these liberal personalities.

01:46:21.000 For David Pakman, I guarantee you, my view of Pakman is that he knows he's lying.

01:46:28.000 Because he has to read the news all day.

01:46:30.000 I also read the news all day.

01:46:32.000 I read the New York Times.

01:46:34.000 I use the New York Times as a source.

01:46:36.000 I use MSNBC and CNN.

01:46:40.000 And even when you use these sources, the conclusion is the same thing.

01:46:45.000 Let's do this.

01:46:48.000 No games.

01:46:49.000 Let's pull this up.

01:46:51.000 Politico.

01:46:52.000 Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire.

01:46:56.000 January 11, 2017.

01:46:57.000 This is it.

01:46:59.000 Donald Trump wasn't the only presidential candidate whose campaign was boosted by officials from a former Soviet bloc country.

01:47:04.000 Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office.

01:47:09.000 They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption.

01:47:13.000 and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election.

01:47:17.000 And they helped Clinton's allies research damaging information on Trump,

01:47:21.000 and his advisors, a Politico investigation has found.

01:47:24.000 This is seven years ago. This story has never been retracted, only corroborated.

01:47:29.000 So when David Pakman did a video, where Ted Cruz was asked about this report,

01:47:35.000 David Pakman ran a video where they were laughing at Ted Cruz.

01:47:40.000 It was Chuck Todd says, do you really think Ukrainian was trying to sabotage,

01:47:44.000 was trying to influence the election?

01:47:46.000 And Ted Cruz is like, the New York Times reported they did!

01:47:50.000 And then you hear in the background an MSNBC producer or an NBC News producer start laughing.

01:47:54.000 And David Pakman's like, they're laughing at him!

01:47:57.000 He actually believes this!

01:47:59.000 There is no reality where David Pakman, reading the news, misses these stories.

01:48:03.000 I pull up the New York Times, and I'm reading the front page.

01:48:07.000 I go to Politico, I read the front page.

01:48:09.000 And I'm like, wow, look at this story.

01:48:12.000 Ukraine was trying to sabotage Trump. 0.88

01:48:13.000 For some reason, David Pakman goes, I just never see these stories.

01:48:18.000 Impossible.

01:48:19.000 There's no reality where the Krasensteins, Cenk Uygur, David Pakman, Kyle Klinsky, and the rest of them miss these stories and just, whoopsie, this one story went right over my head.

01:48:28.000 It's not reality.

01:48:29.000 That's why I say they're lying.

01:48:31.000 Because I will pull all of these stories up for you.

01:48:34.000 So where am I politically?

01:48:36.000 I don't know about policy.

01:48:37.000 All I know is when I read the news, I'm like, wow, this story's crazy.

01:48:40.000 Ukraine sabotaged Trump and they put Manafort in jail.

01:48:45.000 And then when you talk to them, they go, never happened.

01:48:47.000 And I'm like, do you not read the news?

01:48:52.000 Is there, like, a CIA agent who just tells you, talk about this video, and you have no idea what you're talking about?

01:48:58.000 That's not true either.

01:48:59.000 The reality is these guys go online, read the news, and then think to themselves, hmm, well I can't cover this story because it'll piss off my audience, so I'm gonna ignore it.

01:49:08.000 I'll give you another example for David Pakman.

01:49:11.000 On one day, David and I ran the complete opposite stories.

01:49:16.000 My story was Trump's approval rating skyrockets.

01:49:20.000 David Pakman's story was Trump unfavorability skyrockets, or his polls tank.

01:49:26.000 Polling tanks.

01:49:27.000 And I saw his video and I was like, did I get something wrong?

01:49:31.000 How was he saying that Trump's polling is down?

01:49:34.000 Oh, because David took one poll.

01:49:37.000 That showed a negative outcome for Trump and then ran that as his lead story, whereas I used the RealClearPolitics aggregate.

01:49:44.000 I said, here's all of the different polls.

01:49:46.000 This one shows Trump doing really bad, but when you add them all up, Trump is way up in his approval rating and favorability.

01:49:52.000 This is what they do.

01:49:53.000 They selectively choose one story that will fit the narrative so they can rally their cult base and then accuse us of doing the opposite.

01:50:02.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I will pull up CNN, MSNBC, Politico, and all the corporate press news guard certified sources in the world and show you they are reporting all of this stuff.

01:50:14.000 And then they say that we're making it up and we're lying.

01:50:15.000 That's the wildest thing. 0.84

01:50:17.000 Crazy.

01:50:18.000 But there you go. 0.84

01:50:19.000 There's your answer on David Pakman.

01:50:21.000 What do you think are some topics that Kalinske-Pakman would say that you are, you know, not going to cover?

01:50:31.000 There's no subject we would ignore.

01:50:35.000 If it is the top of news, it is literally what we talk about.

01:50:38.000 When we start the show every night, the question is, what's the biggest story right now?

01:50:42.000 What they would probably do is when I said that Western forces fired rockets into Russia, they're the kind of people who go, no, that's not true.

01:50:50.000 Ukraine is its own country. 0.99

01:50:52.000 You've got to be a moron to think Ukraine isn't taking orders from from Biden. 0.99

01:50:57.000 The reporting from Politico is Biden approved the use of U.S. 1.00

01:51:02.000 weapons by Ukraine.

01:51:04.000 That means they're waiting for U.S. 0.95

01:51:06.000 approval to do these things.

01:51:07.000 Now, of course, you can make the argument it's because they don't want to lose access to them.

01:51:11.000 So they're saying, we'll take your weapons within the restrictions you set for them.

01:51:15.000 That still means Biden is in control of when and who they attack.

01:51:19.000 And it still means that Russia believes it is NATO personnel attacking them, not Ukrainians.

01:51:25.000 But I don't know.

01:51:28.000 They lie about everything.

01:51:29.000 There is no reality where if you were to actually read the news, you would conclude Donald Trump was guilty of civil fraud, sexual abuse, and this is the problem.

01:51:40.000 It's not a question of whether you're pro-Trump or not pro-Trump.

01:51:43.000 Did Joe Biden offer a quid pro quo to the President of Ukraine in exchange for firing the prosecutor?

01:51:49.000 Fact.

01:51:49.000 He admitted to it on camera.

01:51:51.000 We had Hunter Avalon on the show, and he smirks and goes, that never happened.

01:51:56.000 And I'm like, okay, here's the video of it happening.

01:51:58.000 And he was like, oh.

01:51:59.000 Now that guy, I can imagine, doesn't actually read the news.

01:52:01.000 Fine.

01:52:02.000 But there's no way you're going to convince me, because I've known David Pakman for like 12 years, that he's not reading the news.

01:52:07.000 Longer than that.

01:52:09.000 There's no way you convince me he's not reading the news.

01:52:11.000 I know for a fact he's going through the New York Times and he's likely just saying, better not show that story to my followers.

01:52:17.000 Better not show that one.

01:52:19.000 And I'd imagine a lot of the stuff he uses is going to be singled out, selective, and ignoring greater details.

01:52:26.000 This is why Timcast IRL was vaccine neutral.

01:52:30.000 This is why we were lab leak neutral.

01:52:33.000 This is why we get criticism for it.

01:52:35.000 This is why I said Trump lost the 2020 election.

01:52:38.000 Because I don't just target or tackle partisan issues.

01:52:43.000 I just say, here's what I know and what I don't know.

01:52:45.000 This is why I said the Covington kids, I don't know the kid did anything wrong.

01:52:50.000 It's why when all these stories come up and I say, honestly guys, I have no idea.

01:52:54.000 It's because I don't.

01:52:55.000 But the people who are coming out, these Democrat personalities, they're selectively pulling stories to lie to an audience to build a base.

01:53:04.000 And it works, because political interests like it.

01:53:07.000 Let's read more Super Chats. 0.87

01:53:08.000 Ben Randon.

01:53:10.000 Jacob Hawley says, uh oh, just disappeared.

01:53:13.000 That's YouTube for you.

01:53:14.000 He says, crew, I'm terrified if World War III starts, if a civil war kicks off, you can consider World War II and the Mongol invasion an effing joke.

01:53:22.000 So many people would die, oh my god.

01:53:24.000 Yeah, yep.

01:53:28.000 The Quartering asks, hasn't Ukraine been using U.S.

01:53:30.000 rockets since day one?

01:53:32.000 They are attacking Russia directly.

01:53:34.000 They are fire rockets into Belgorod.

01:53:37.000 This is NATO weapons delivered to Ukraine to attack Russia directly.

01:53:44.000 So this is a major and a tremendous escalation.

01:53:48.000 Fighting in Ukraine, the argument is, we're allowing Ukraine to defend themselves from a Russian invasion.

01:53:52.000 Giving Ukraine weapons and then saying, we hereby authorize the use of these to kill Russians on their own soil. 0.96

01:53:59.000 Imagine if Russia deployed weapons to the cartels, trained them how to use it, and then handed the clicker to a cartel member and said, fire on New Mexico.

01:54:07.000 We'd be like, yeah, Russia is attacking us.

01:54:09.000 We don't care who's pressing the button.

01:54:10.000 They're Russian weapons.

01:54:14.000 WeAreChanged says, World War III already started.

01:54:17.000 Well, there you go.

01:54:20.000 Let's see, Bucket Aquatic says, Tim, if there is a World War III and our replacement rate is below what it should be, who do you think will be drafted when the 18-27 year olds die?

01:54:28.000 They'll take everyone they can for this one.

01:54:30.000 Right, that's what I said.

01:54:31.000 Yeah.

01:54:33.000 Uh, they go- they go- so I'm not first in line.

01:54:36.000 After the 18-27 year olds, then they're gonna go to like 28-34 year olds, and then after that, you know, we'll find our way.

01:54:44.000 But I don't think we survive until we get to that point.

01:54:48.000 D.J.

01:54:48.000 White says re-military draft.

01:54:49.000 My body, my choice.

01:54:51.000 And women in Congress who don't have to sign up for selective service have no right to create laws that require men to go to war and sacrifice their lives. 0.58

01:54:57.000 But you know what the answer to that is?

01:54:59.000 Those older people in Congress will just vote to draft women too. 1.00

01:55:04.000 And that's likely going to happen.

01:55:06.000 I'm really excited for it.

01:55:08.000 We're probably going to have a debate with some Gen Z Biden guy.

01:55:12.000 I think Harry Sisson's refusing to do it unless it's Scott Pressler and Scott Pressler won't debate.

01:55:15.000 It's not his thing, is it?

01:55:18.000 Oh look, Harry Sisson has agreed to come on the Culture War and debate Scott Pressler.

01:55:22.000 Scott Pressler said no, and I believe it's because he doesn't care.

01:55:27.000 He's doing registration stuff and he doesn't want to debate.

01:55:31.000 Or at least that's what he said.

01:55:32.000 I don't know.

01:55:33.000 I'm not familiar if he's done other debates.

01:55:35.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:55:36.000 So we asked Harry, Harry said, only Scott.

01:55:39.000 Okay, whatever.

01:55:41.000 Someone else is coming on.

01:55:43.000 And it'll be really interesting because I'd love to hear them be asked about the draft.

01:55:48.000 You know?

01:55:49.000 Very interesting.

01:55:51.000 Let's grab a couple more Super Chats here.

01:55:55.000 Let's see.

01:55:59.000 What have we?

01:56:00.000 We'll scroll down a little bit.

01:56:02.000 Jeff Green says maybe the Biden administration had him sign an executive order to pardon 350,000 immigrants and allow 250,000 a day because they are only pardoned if they fight for the U.S.

01:56:12.000 It's 2,500 per day, and he didn't pardon 350,000.

01:56:14.000 He just dissolved their cases.

01:56:20.000 So now they have no deportation orders.

01:56:22.000 They're just living here.

01:56:23.000 No man's land.

01:56:25.000 Yeah.

01:56:25.000 They live here now.

01:56:26.000 And even less reason to be in contact with the government, a.k.a.

01:56:29.000 having any idea of where they are.

01:56:31.000 Mike Perry says, I work in animal feed.

01:56:33.000 The FDA has implemented quarantine procedures industry-wide.

01:56:37.000 I think they are using this to squeeze the food supply before the elections.

01:56:40.000 FYI, I love you guys.

01:56:41.000 Keep up the great work.

01:56:42.000 That's interesting.

01:56:43.000 Very interesting.

01:56:44.000 Yeah.

01:56:46.000 Dally Vice says, Hey everyone, I put out a new music video called Con Men and Liars that you guys might relate to and enjoy.

01:56:52.000 I wrote it around the same time of the State of the Union, also on streaming.

01:56:56.000 Fan of the show.

01:56:56.000 Appreciate it.

01:56:57.000 Man, it's music night tonight in the Super Chats.

01:57:00.000 We are changed, says MMA match confirmed between him, Luke Rutkowski, and The Quartering.

01:57:07.000 I think the quartering would destroy Luke.

01:57:10.000 I don't know how big the quartering is, but I hear he's a big dude.

01:57:14.000 He would destroy Luke.

01:57:15.000 Very large. 0.98

01:57:15.000 Luke, you will be destroyed. 0.98

01:57:18.000 The quartering will destroy you. 0.97

01:57:20.000 I think... I mean, like, Luke trains, you know?

01:57:24.000 But I don't think... Luke, you don't do martial arts or anything, do you?

01:57:26.000 How tall is Jeremy?

01:57:27.000 Jeremy's tall.

01:57:28.000 Yeah?

01:57:28.000 He's a tall dude.

01:57:29.000 I think Jeremy would throw a couple hits at Luke and Luke would go down.

01:57:33.000 I think Jeremy is in the area of like, unless you really know what you're doing, Jeremy can just manhandle you with body size.

01:57:39.000 Luke Turing says, in my backyard for the RNC.

01:57:44.000 We might be at the RNC.

01:57:45.000 Jeremy, you gotta come out.

01:57:47.000 We're trying to get our RNC venue.

01:57:49.000 It's super difficult because the RNC controls all of them.

01:57:53.000 And so it's just, it's really difficult to get a place to do a show.

01:57:57.000 Assuming we do, and we may, then it'd be cool to have you out, Jeremy.

01:58:03.000 What are they?

01:58:04.000 They're just arguing in chat.

01:58:06.000 What is this?

01:58:07.000 Luke says, I'm a feather, further, super lightweight.

01:58:13.000 That's right.

01:58:14.000 All right, we'll grab some more.

01:58:17.000 Connor Cooney says, Tim, they're pushing the bird flute to cull all livestock so that we have to eat the bugs.

01:58:22.000 Then they make us all vegetarian and the world is saved from the evil cow farts. 0.98

01:58:26.000 They really... Luke says he does kickboxing.

01:58:29.000 I don't know.

01:58:33.000 I think any sort of food scarcity would heighten tension.

01:58:36.000 And again, if we're going back to the study I referenced before, people being more aware during the pandemic, or at least paying attention to the news more, like, I think that could actually backfire for Biden, because the news does not show that he is commanding strong leadership of this country right now.

01:58:54.000 Luke would destroy the quartering.

01:58:57.000 Oh man, they're gonna have to have a charity MMA boxing match. 0.56

01:59:02.000 Keemstar! 0.85

01:59:04.000 Someone light up the Keemstar signal.

01:59:06.000 Come on, Keemstar.

01:59:07.000 Luke versus the quartering.

01:59:09.000 Let's hear it.

01:59:10.000 And Alex Stein can be the presenter.

01:59:12.000 The referee.

01:59:14.000 I think he'll just join in.

01:59:16.000 Or the ring girl. 0.97

01:59:17.000 The ring girl.

01:59:19.000 Carter Mai says, Canadian here, America is the last bastion of freedom in our world.

01:59:23.000 We need you.

01:59:23.000 Take back your government and your freedom.

01:59:25.000 All freedom-loving eyes are on you.

01:59:27.000 Do not go quiet into the night.

01:59:29.000 Race against the dying of the light.

01:59:30.000 You are our light.

01:59:32.000 We are.

01:59:34.000 Yes.

01:59:36.000 We will try.

01:59:38.000 Alright.

01:59:40.000 Dustin M800 says, isn't a war what the Biden admin and Deep State want?

01:59:44.000 Wouldn't that be better for them this year?

01:59:46.000 No.

01:59:47.000 They want the war. 0.84

01:59:47.000 They've got the war. 0.84

01:59:48.000 The war is happening.

01:59:49.000 What they don't want is to lose public support.

01:59:51.000 And at a time when the economy is being strained because of how they're spending, it is a problem if they come out and they're like, oh, we're doing the war.

02:00:00.000 You already had that massively viral TikTok where the kids like, I can't afford rent.

02:00:04.000 Why are we sending $100 billion to a country no one can find on a map?

02:00:08.000 That's how Americans feel.

02:00:09.000 So they certainly don't want to become a talking point.

02:00:12.000 All right, everybody.

02:00:14.000 Let's see, maybe there's a...

02:00:16.000 Jason Dixon says, Hey Tim, Bitcoin is now above $71,000.

02:00:19.000 Woo! 0.99

02:00:21.000 That's crazy.

02:00:22.000 My 30 Bitcoin is now worth $2,000,000.

02:00:24.000 Please shout out the Discord.

02:00:25.000 Your mods are working their asses off for you for free.

02:00:29.000 Guys, join the Discord.

02:00:31.000 Head over to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member, and join the Discord so you can hang out with like-minded individuals and probably people you're going to argue with, but it's fun.

02:00:39.000 That's the networking that we need to win a culture war. 0.99

02:00:42.000 So, this is our first foray, the digital world.

02:00:45.000 Meet people.

02:00:46.000 Some people are dating now, because they met in the Discord.

02:00:48.000 That's fun.

02:00:49.000 But you can network.

02:00:50.000 Maybe you're an artist and someone's a writer, and you're like, hey, we can make a comic.

02:00:54.000 Maybe you're a programmer and someone's got a great video game, and they're like, let's work together.

02:00:57.000 I have a great concept.

02:00:58.000 You should give the first person that has a baby, the first couple that has a baby in the Discord, they get free membership for life or something.

02:01:06.000 If they can meet in there and actually have a baby.

02:01:08.000 Yeah, the baby gets, there you go.

02:01:09.000 Baby gets free membership for life.

02:01:11.000 But with the coffee shop that we're building in Martinsburg, where we did one show there already, We're in the permitting phase.

02:01:18.000 We've got to do some... It's ridiculous how long it takes, I guess, but we're in the drawing step or something.

02:01:24.000 We've been locked up because we've gone through so many different contractors.

02:01:26.000 That's how it goes.

02:01:27.000 But the idea there is to have a physical space people can hang out at so we can start networking and then set up thousands of them.

02:01:32.000 So smash the like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and become a member at TimCast.com.
