tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Donald Trump has signed an executive order to end the public funding of NPR and PBS, and I say, well, largely good, but I do have a lot of concerns.
		Not that I like NPR or PBS, but the direction of media in this country is pretty dang worrying.
		And there's nothing we can really do about it.
		So I am pretty alarmed at the current trends that we see on social media.
		Largely, I tweeted about this, and I've kind of been harping on it for some time.
		You've been watching Timcast IRL.
		But you've got these liberal podcasters.
		Call them podcasters, but literally the only videos they ever make is about Donald Trump.
		Now, I will say this.
		You know, I make a lot of videos about Donald Trump, and I think that's okay to do.
		We talk about news stories, so...
		One of the stories I put up yesterday was about a guy who murdered some woman.
		And we've got, of course, the impeachment of Trump as well.
		We've also talked about AI and things like this.
		And now we're talking about media, but it is Trump.
		So I think that's fair.
		I'll cut him a little bit of slack.
		But a lot of these guys, they literally do nothing but talk about Trump.
		Literally every single video they put, spare maybe one or two special episodes, and they're getting hundreds of millions of views.
		So here's what I say about this.
		Trump should.
		Be defunding this kind of content.
		This is what NPR and PBS are doing.
		And if you look at the corporate press, they are all becoming this deranged.
		And I blame largely social media companies and big tech, but there's no solution, to be completely honest.
		Take a look at the story first.
		Let me give you the facts and the details and show you examples of how the media has become absolutely insane.
		And then let's talk about what this means for our future.
		Trump signs executive order seeking to end.
		Federal funding for NPR and PBS.
		New York Times reports President Trump on Thursday.
		We get it.
		Trump instructed the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds public broadcasters in the U.S. to end federal funding for NPR and PBS to the extent allowed by law.
		The outlet receives only a small portion of their funding from Congress, with the rest coming from donors and sponsors.
		Now let's pause real quick.
		The outlets NPR and PBS.
		But the Corporation for Public Broadcasting gets money from Congress and disperses it to a bunch of radio stations, which then carry NPR.
		They are lying about how this actually operates.
		NPR and PBS themselves get a small portion, indeed.
		But what about all the subsidiary networks, radio stations, etc.?
		Right.
		The Corporation for Public Broadcasting exists for a reason.
		The immediate impact of the order was unclear.
		The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a taxpayer-backed private entity created by an act of Congress, is funded two years in advance to protect it from political maneuvering.
		CPB is not a federal executive agency subject to the president's authority.
		Patricia Harrison, the president and chief executive of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, said in a statement on Friday, Congress directly authorized and funded CPB to CPB.
		not CBP to be a private non-profit corporation wholly independent of the federal government the executive order was the latest move
		I think there's a better way to go about this.
		And this is why I've been I was saying, you know, I don't know for sure.
		I mean, I like the idea of cutting off the far left crackpot lying press.
		But Trump's got authority here in terms of funding.
		What should happen is he should apply pressure.
		Now, I said this back when Patreon banned our good friend Carl Benjamin.
		They said he was on a live stream and he used a racial slur.
		Well, the context matters.
		He was insulting racists.
		He was talking to white racist guys and he called them the N-word to make the point.
		You guys are actually what you describe other people to be.
		And they said, we don't care if you're arguing with white supremacists.
		They banned him.
		Cut off his income.
		Just weird and insane.
		My response, and I talked to them directly, was, guys, you could have literally called him on the phone and said, don't do this.
		We don't want to lose.
	Their argument was, we're going to get all of our accounts on Patreon shut down when service providers and financial services cut us off.
	So we banned him.
	And I said, go to him and say, hey, don't say racial slurs on shows.
	And he would have been like, all right, I guess.
	He can make the point without doing that.
	Instead, they nuke him outright, create a massive exodus, which launches a bunch of other platforms, which have succeeded, by the way.
	That's not the way to go about doing things, in my opinion.
	The problem we have with NPR and PBS is they're driven largely by an obsession, cranked out, which I refer to as an Elsagate phenomenon, and that is the amount of views you get on YouTube.
	Which is the second biggest search engine and one of the biggest video platforms, if not the biggest in the world.
	If you make anti-Trump content, you will be bigger than Joe Rogan.
	And I'm not exaggerating.
	I do want to do a bigger segment on this, but take a look at this.
	Joe Rogan has 52 million views in the last month.
	Brian Tyler Cohen has 196 million.
	Okay?
unidentified		That's...
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What is driving this psychotic reality?
		The algorithm is just spam blasting this in front of people.
		And the only thing they're seeing every single day is Trump did something bad.
		Trump did something bad.
		So if you're wondering why people think Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a nice family man and not a wife beating human trafficking gangbanger.
		Oh yeah, more videos just come out.
		It's because YouTube doesn't share that to people.
		Now, I'm not immediately going to blame YouTube.
		YouTube, the algorithm.
		It runs the way it runs.
		They'll make the algorithm and then people will fall into those places.
		I certainly think YouTube should realize what they're doing with this insanity, but there's no good answer.
		Really, there isn't.
		Let me show you the corporate press.
		I want to give you this as an example.
		The New York Times.
		A mother and father were deported.
		What happened to their toddler?
		The Trump admin sent the mother of a two-year-old to Venezuela and the father to El Salvador in prison.
		Their daughter remains somewhere in the United States.
		No!
		The two-year-old American citizen still here but with no parents?
		You can't deport the parents of an American citizen.
		How is that kid going to survive?
		Donald Trump, you are, oh, I'm so mad.
		I'm going to make a video about how bad Trump is.
		Anyway, now that I've calmed down, let's see what else the New York Times has to offer.
		What's this?
		Two year old U.S. citizen deported with no meaningful process.
		What? A federal judge in Louisiana said the deportation of the child to Honduras with her mother, even though her father had filed an emergency position, appeared to be illegal and gone.
		Wait a minute.
		You mean when you deported the woman, the woman wanted her two-year-old to go with her?
		So you did let the child go?
		I'm so mad.
		Trump does everything wrong.
		You know, Trump, he should not allow two-year-old American citizens to stay in this country if their parents are deported.
		Donald Trump should send, should not allow two-year-olds to go home with the parent who requests them.
		What?
		Oh, I know the Democrats came out and said, yeah, yeah, but the father filed an emergency petition.
		I get it.
		The issue is this.
		Literally, no matter what Trump does, it's bad.
		Donald Trump deports two people.
		The kid can stay.
		Okay.
		How dare he leave that kid here?
		In limbo in the United States.
unidentified		Okay.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		A mother was getting deported.
		She requested the child go with her.
		And the Trump admin said, okay.
		How dare he do that?
		He should have let the child stay with the father.
		If Donald Trump had this child stay, they'd have complained about it.
		That's the point.
		I understand a little bit.
		No, that's not one for one.
		The point is, do you let the child go with the parent being deported or not?
		Doesn't matter.
		The left, the corporate press, the media will say it's wrong no matter what you do.
		Lord help us.
		So when Trump says, you know what, we shouldn't be funding anything related to this, I say, you got it, boy.
		You got it, buddy.
		This is ridiculous.
		But this is the.
		You know, I'll tell you what I think the challenge is.
		Let's talk about media, right?
		I think I got a tweet pulled up.
		What is this, Pete Hegseth?
		In case you wonder what we and President Trump are up against, 100% negative coverage from the so-called mainstream press.
		Like, come on, man.
		Literally not a single good day for Pete Hegseth.
		He's, we've got to, the enlistment is up.
		Like, people actually want to join the armed forces now under his leadership.
		He's doing a good job.
		There have been some mistakes.
		Signal get, I don't think that was a big deal.
		Not good.
		But I ain't crying about it.
		Nobody died.
		Look at this.
		Elon Musk, 96% negative coverage.
		It is.
		Elon says, you got me beat.
		We're...
unidentified		We're fucked.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You know.
		Sorry for swearing.
		I normally, I try not to swear, but holy crap, ladies and gentlemen.
		We are screwed.
		Look.
		What's happening right now is that, I hate to say it, but you look at Joe Rogan.
		He talks about a bunch of things.
		It's an eclectic show.
		52 million views.
		Now, I'm not saying Joe's not the biggest podcast or impugning his reach.
		No.
		I'm using him as an example on YouTube because he's the biggest podcast in the world.
		Biggest podcast.
		The other shows jumping above him in certain rankings, you can't beat the Joe Rogan experience.
		In terms of what a podcast is, these conversations, the man has the golden touch.
		But even he is nothing compared to Trump derangement syndrome.
		Brian Tyler Cohen on his YouTube channel makes nothing but anti-Trump videos.
		Every single video.
		It's just tracking every move Trump makes and screaming about it.
		I honestly think Trump probably should just not be in the press for a little bit.
		Probably wouldn't work, to be honest.
		This guy is a Trump review channel.
		He gets more views than Joe Rogan on YouTube.
		Now, I'll put it this way.
		Rogan will put out a podcast and a million, two million, some get three million, some get more.
		In recent past, a lot of the podcasts he does, they're getting like 600 to a million.
		But the bigger guests, the bigger conversations, they get a couple million.
		That's great.
		Now for Cohen, he's making, I don't know, like four, five, maybe six videos every single day.
		And they're getting about half a million each.
		So they're smaller per video, but he's making way more.
		Some have suggested yes.
		Rogan's probably got 30 million diehard unique listeners, and Cohen's probably got less.
		But I don't think that's true.
		When you also look at David Pakman, you can see that his videos have wild swings, some of 30,000, some of half a million.
		I believe they're largely getting algorithmic views, Elsagate style.
		Rogan's got natural pull because everyone knows he's the biggest of the best.
		He's just Rogan.
		Tyler Cohen, you probably never heard of.
		His podcast as a podcast is not that big.
		But his channel is massive because he spam blasts Trump is bad.
		And there is a subsect of people on YouTube and in this country that will watch every single video because they're addicted to hate and rage.
		This creates an effect.
		When people like journalists at NPR or the New York Times see the numbers, the math is clear.
		Look.
		We sell ads here at TimCast.
		Everybody does.
		And the sponsors ask us how many people we're going to reach.
		And we say, you know, when we do a show, TimCast IRL, we're probably doing, things have been really good for us, I will admit.
		With the Rumble launch and the shout-out promotion from Stephen Crowder and Dan Bongino, tremendous respect and appreciation for that, guys.
		Our viewership has massively exploded.
		So we were doing, you know, 300, 350 on average on Timcast IRL.
		We're now doing 600 to 700 by adding Rumble to our roster.
		So the show's like doubled in size.
		We've now been hitting the third biggest show in the country live every night.
		And we're still not getting 20 million views.
		But here's the thing.
		So I tweeted this out.
		I insulted Brian Tyler Cohen because, to be fair, I'm not the most tactful and professional person.
		I was the first to admit.
		Maybe if I shut up, stopped complaining about myself sometimes, I might be a bigger show.
		But look, I wear my thoughts and feelings on my sleeve and make videos when I feel like making videos.
		I talk about what I want to talk about.
		Some people don't like it.
	I respect that.
	Maybe I should chill the F out sometimes.
	But then he says I insulted him because I'm like, this is sick.
	And he then took a screenshot from the Culture War channel where the average viewership for the clips is like, I don't know, 10 to 30K maybe.
	And he said, what is it like to look at a channel with views?
	He hit the nail on the head with the hammer.
	He really did.
	First, he's going to the smallest channel that I have, okay, where we put up clips from an interview show, which...
	Don't get as many views.
	To be fair, the daily interview specials that we do are getting $100,000 to $200,000.
	He didn't want to show those, though.
	Why?
	That's the point.
	When he shows that he gets half a million per video, that's what drives people to hate Trump.
	Because they're sociopaths.
	Not that they really hate him.
	But there are a lot.
	And I'm going to give Hassan Piker credit, too.
	100%.
	I really do mean this.
	I've been talking about a lot.
	But he talks about a lot of things.
	Not just Donald Trump.
	Certainly talks about Trump a lot.
	But I can give respect to Hassan for talking about foreign policy issues.
	And Sam Seder, the same.
	I mean it.
	I mean, the guys waste time talking about me.
	Hassan doesn't talk about me that much.
	He did recently because of the news.
	Totally fine.
	He's allowed to do it.
	I'm not mad at him for talking about what he wants to talk about.
	Sam Seder talks about me a bit way too much.
	But I can still respect that they're not just saying Trump 800,000 times.
	Same thing with breaking points.
	They're very tedious.
	You know, Crystal, not Sagar.
	But...
	What happens is these younger people, these media people, these New York Times people, these NPR people, these PBS people, they see where the numbers are.
	Now, I don't think Brian Tyler Cohen is getting 30 million unique views.
	This is the interesting metric that is not tracked.
	I'm not trying to humblebrag or anything.
	We had 74,000 concurrent viewers two nights ago.
	We had 65 last night.
	Those are unique organic views all at once.
	I believe that of the views he's getting, Brian Tyler Cohen, 196, it's probably 10 people watching 20 videos a month or more because he's doing like five or six anti-Trump.
	It could be a million people watching 100 of his videos per month, just spam blasting how they hate Trump.
	Whereas with Joe Rogan, it's 30 million people watching one or two episodes a month.
	More unique people.
	The problem is the metric convinces people to chase after the anti-Trump narrative, and that's how you get the New York Times running negative stories on Trump no matter what he does.
	They say, I'll put it this way.
	When I worked for Fusion, I was told by one of their marketing guys, mothers share more than anybody else.
	That's who we target.
	No joke.
	They said, we want more shares, so we want content that moms are going to get driven by.
	Anger is more likely to generate a share, and women are more likely to share, so let's piss off women.
	He didn't say it like that, but that was the idea.
	Content that will rile up middle-aged women does the best.
	So here's what ends up happening.
	When they're doing ad sales, they don't care who.
	They say, look.
	We just need the numbers.
	We promise to sponsor half a million views.
	We have to deliver.
	Okay?
	There's a couple ways to do that.
	Spam blast anti-Trump content, and one person will watch it 500 times, 500 views.
	Indeed.
	Advertiser doesn't know that.
	They don't sell as well, though.
	But they still get paid.
	The company.
	The other tricks they've got is ad rights distribution.
	And my favorite is you sell an ad spot on a show, and then when you don't get the views, you run the show as an ad itself to get guaranteed views on YouTube.
	It's really brilliant stuff.
	Ultimately, I say this.
	Trump cutting off the media is a good thing, but it's not going to change the algorithmic psychopathy of these channels that spam blast Trump content.
	So let me just put it this way.
	Tim Cast IRL is the third biggest live show in the country on average because we have a broad, unique viewership.
	That means when we talk about, like, you know, let me take a look at what I've got now.
	EU power outage, UFOs, Jack Posobiec attack, Trump, there we go, Rockstar requesting asylum for Brits, Elon Musk.
	Basically what I try to do on this channel is talk about news stories that I think matter.
	And admittedly, the views are, here we go, 200,000, 140,000, 150,000, 150,000, 160,000, 200,000.
	A couple from yesterday, 90,000.
	They usually pick up in a little bit.
	CBS 60 Minutes, 368, that was a big one.
	I'm not getting half a million, but it's because I don't talk about one thing nonstop.
	So one person might click the Elon Musk video and not the Trump video.
	But I have scruples.
	I try to make sure that I'm doing something that's balanced, that gives a broad view of media.
	The corporate press is not doing that.
	What I will say is, to a certain degree, they are more so than these liberal podcasters.
	My fear, however, is I pulled up the New York Times to make this example.
	They absolutely still do this.
	It's not news.
	And people think they're being informed by this.
	Guys, I understand the nuance of a father filing a petition.
	The response I got from fans of Brian Tyler Cohen is, of course he's talking about Trump.
	Trump's the president.
	So he's a presidential review channel?
	If that's where we're going, and the only media people consume is one thing, a myopic single subject, it's going to drive people insane.
	More importantly, Trump isn't doing everything wrong.
	Trump looked like an idiot when he gaffed on the MS-13 on the hands.
	Okay, that was stupid.
	Trump has done other stupid things that I think are worse.
	Foreign policy things.
	I don't want to be involved in these things.
	I don't.
	I was talking to Seb Gorka and I said, you know, he mentioned that they were doing a strike in Sudan and I was like, I don't want to be involved in this stuff and he gave me his argument.
	But I respect that I do.
	No regime change war.
	We're doing less than before.
	We're in a middle ground and I'm like, I'm not, I said this the other day, I'm not a libertarian who's going to be like, no, it must be all or nothing.
	I'm like, okay, I will take no invasions, no regime change war.
	You're doing targeted strikes.
	Far from perfect.
	Not a fan.
	Trump universal tariffs?
	I said from the get-go.
	I am skeptical that this will work.
	Selective tariffs I think make sense.
	I think this is going to be bad.
	But we'll see.
	I don't know what the plan is.
	I'm not going to come out and vomit on myself screaming about every single thing Trump does is wrong.
	But he's not a perfect guy and he makes tons of mistakes.
	He just happens to be more aligned with my moral worldview and I support him in those efforts.
	That is a reasonable worldview in my opinion.
	Trump is always wrong no matter what.
	It's psychotic.
	And obviously not correct.
	But half the country lives in that world.
	So I'm deeply concerned about where this goes.
	But I suppose I'll wrap it up there.
	Otherwise I rant too much on this issue.
	Nuke them.
	Get them out.
	See if I care.
	But how we solve this problem, man, I don't have the answers.
	I'll leave it there.
	Stay tuned.
	We've got more segments coming up throughout the day.
	Follow me on X on Instagram at TimCast.
	Thanks for hanging out.
	We'll see y 'all then.
	News that is surprising to no one.
	Grand Theft Auto 6 is being delayed to May 2026.
	You know, I saw this story and it made me feel bad for Gen Z because they don't understand just how bad they have it relative to us millennials.
	Because I remember back when I was a kid, games came out like clockwork and I got the data to back it up.
	Don't take my word for it.
	These kids playing GTA 5, they've been playing GTA 5 now for 12 years.
	Now, of course, there's always a bigger picture here.
	It's not just that GTA 6 is being delayed, which we will read about.
	It's that culture is stagnating in sad ways.
	This weekend, I was talking about Katy Perry and Beyonce.
	You know, they're struggling to sell tickets to their big stadium concerts.
	Katy Perry's last album bombed.
	Beyonce is selling tickets for the price of a McDonald's cheeseburger.
	That was the news.
	Now, some have come out and said, yes, but Tim.
	Sabrina Carpenter, she's selling out her show, yes, but in arenas, not stadiums.
	Still good.
	But she's pulling in between 10,000 to 20,000 seats.
	Hey, that's really good.
	Don't get me wrong.
	But yo, Metallica used to sell out like 70,000, 80,000 seat stadiums.
	Actually, they still do.
	They just played a 60,000 person stadium the other night.
	And they had that famous show in Russia with a million people.
	Culture is stagnating, man.
	You know, and I was reading this post on Reddit where some Zoomer was saying that they're nostalgic for a time that doesn't exist anymore.
	They see all this media, they see everything from the 90s, and I'm telling you what's going to happen and why this story about GTA 6 is so important.
	Now for many of you, some of you came here and you're just like, bro, just tell me about the video game because I want to know when I can play it.
	And we'll get into that like literally right now.
	So I want to say real quick, then we're going to talk about why culture is stagnating and why this is bad news.
	For Zoomers and Gen Alpha, I'm worried about you guys.
	I'm worried about you guys.
	Here's a story from Polygon.
	They say Rockstar Games has delayed GTA 6, previously expected in the fall of 2025 to next year.
	The hugely anticipated game at least has a firm release date now.
	It will be released on May 26, 2026.
	We are very sorry that this is later than you expected.
	The interest and excitement surrounding a new Grand Theft Auto has been truly humbling for our entire team.
	We want to thank you for your support and your patience as we work to finish the game.
	With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and GTA 6 is no exception.
	We look forward to sharing more information with you soon.
	The news comes...
	As no great surprise, Rockstar is known for delays to its games, which are always huge in ambition and scope.
	Its last major release was Red Dead Redemption 2, delayed three times.
	However, as recently as February, Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two Interactive, was insisting GTA 6 was on track.
	GTA 6's delay presents an opening for other publishers who are said to be considering delaying their own games just to avoid competing with Rockstar.
	So expect a slew of October-November 2025 release date soon.
	My friends, it is done.
	We are cooked.
	We are cooked.
	Look at this.
	Look at this Rockstar Games release schedule going back to 1998.
	Let me tell you about what it was like when I was younger.
	1998, man.
	I was 12 years old.
	12 years old.
	GTA comes out.
	In 99, you get GTA London, Thrasher, GTA 2, three games.
	It's okay.
	GTA London versus GTA were very similar.
	And for those that don't know these original games, they were like top down.
	And it was a funny and silly game to play, to be honest.
	In 2000 to 2002, look at all these games that get released.
	You got nine releases.
	You got Max Payne, Oni.
	You got, what is this, Burning, H2O, Wild Metal, GTA 3. Everybody I knew had to get GTA 3. It was 3D.
	You were running around the city.
	It was crazy.
	You then got three releases in the next year.
	The next year, three releases, then three releases, then three releases, then three releases.
	2007, you got one.
	The point is, over time, they slowly released less and less.
	Then came 2013 with GTA V and nothing for five years until Red Dead Redemption.
	Yo, 2018 Red Dead Redemption.
	It's now 2025.
	And they're telling us, look at this chart.
	GTA V, 2025.
	Sorry, boys.
	Delayed one more year.
	There's two big reasons why this is happening.
	They're making money on online and mobile.
	So games that used to get released all the time was like, make more games, man.
	Let's try and get a banger out there.
	Now it's like, release one game and just sell skins.
	And that's what they're doing.
	The world that Gen Z lives in with video games, you've basically got young people who play one game.
	You're going to play GTA, Fortnite, and Minecraft.
	They play one game in a million different iterations, living in that one world.
	Here's how it was when I was a kid.
	Right now in our Boonies HQ trailer, which is outside the skate park, I bought an N64 and I got a console that plays Sega Genesis, Nintendo, and Super Nintendo.
	And I bought like 15 games.
	Yo, back in the day when I was a kid, we would go, there was a place called Farmore.
	It's like a pharmacy.
	I barely remember what it was.
	I don't think they exist anymore.
	Pretty sure they don't.
	And they had a rental section for video games for NES cartridges.
	And the amount of games was nuts.
	I remember I'd go to like a friend's house and we'd have a rack of all these crazy games.
	Now here's the thing.
	You might be saying, Tim, there's more games than ever.
	Yeah, but they're like mobile, one-off, overly simple.
	It's not the same thing.
	So when we're looking at these big AAAs, they're very similar to how we got releases of like, say, Mario 64 or something.
	Now to be fair, Mario games came out.
	I don't know the release schedule, but it was like a couple of years.
	Mario 3 comes out.
	Super Mario World comes out.
	Yoshi's On comes out a couple of years later.
	So there were gaps by a couple of years for those franchises.
	But Rockstar used to release a bunch of different games, not just GTA.
	So here's what's happening.
	Cultural stagnation.
	If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
	Same thing with music.
	Same thing with movies.
	They've become formulaic.
	I'm not going to risk money on creating a game that flops.
	So now what they want to do is they want to say, you're going to make a movie?
	Okay, do we want to make Groundhog Day?
	Yo, Zoomers, have you watched Groundhog Day?
	It's one of the best movies ever.
	Probably not.
	I don't know.
	Some of you maybe did.
	It's one of the best movies ever made, Back to the Future.
	We don't make movies like that anymore unless it's like an indie studio and then no one hears about it.
	It gets no marketing and the culture is stagnant.
	Groundhog Day was epic, but today everything's got to be the same thing.
	Mission Impossible 15 or Fast and the Furious.
	43 or Fast and the Furious spinoff.
	Marvel Cinematic Universe.
	Star Wars Universe.
	Yo, make a new IP.
	They don't want to.
	They say we're not going to spend $100 million gambling on an intellectual property that people might not like.
	So where are we now?
	They're not making new games anymore.
	They're not making new music anymore.
	I mean, obviously they're making music, but it's all derivative, algorithmic AI garbage.
	I feel bad for where Gen Z goes with this, but I'll say one more thing.
	Why are these games being delayed?
	Talent crisis, yo.
	Gen Z, hear me on this one.
	We've had a managerial and talent crisis for some time.
	This means that younger people are not being taught the skills to take over these industries and create these kinds of programs.
	There's fewer and fewer people to do the job and do it well.
	DEI initiatives have made this worse.
	You got two guys.
	One's like a white dude.
	He's 20. He's like, I program video games for fun.
	And they say, sure.
	Then they look over and there's like a Hispanic guy and he's like, you know, I've programmed before, but I could probably do it and say, we want you because DEI.
	And then you're going to have delays and struggles.
	It's not going to solve any of the problems we're facing.
	I think it's going to get worse.
	I think the only saving grace technically is going to be AI-generated games to a high degree.
	I think within a few years, we might be seeing AI, like LLM-generated video games where you say, make me, you open up the prompt, you say, make me a new GTA game that, you know, is like this.
	And it'll make it for you.
	It'll take the existing code from that and many other games, combine the elements.
	I think in a few years, because right now there's like rudimentary things that it can quote-unquote code.
	But it's like top-level, easier language, like HTML5 and stuff.
	It's not like, I don't know, C or like BASIC or anything like that.
	So it's sort of coding.
	That may be our saving grace.
	But I think that with Gen Alpha being only 40-some-odd million people, Gen Z, you're in trouble.
	Check this out.
	Let me show you this.
	Katy Perry, fresh off Blue Origin flap, admits she's bruised by online backlash.
	It's not just Blue Origin.
	Yo, she's got that cringe tour that nobody's buying tickets to, and she had to cancel events.
	Why?
	Okay, millennials are 40 years old!
	Okay, we're 40!
	We're not going to Katy Perry concerts anymore, man.
	It's not going to happen.
	Now, Katy, you think you're going to sell a stadium to anybody else?
	There's barely any young people.
	People aren't having kids.
	Generations are supposed to be bigger than the last.
	There's 72 million millennials and 69 million Gen Z. Gen Z is smaller by a little bit.
	And Gen Alpha is 40 million right now.
	Gen Alpha is supposed to be ending in the next, like this year.
	Maybe some estimates might put it a year higher.
	Okay, so maybe we get 45 million Gen Alpha.
	Gen Z, I'm telling you right now, yo, you're in for it.
	You're in for it because there's no babies.
	So there's not going to be young people to take jobs.
	So that means restaurants are going to go to business.
	It means you're going to struggle to find work.
	Buildings, homes, they're going to get bought up by BlackRock and other financial institutions.
	It ain't going to be pretty.
	In the next 10 years, boomers are expected to be around 50 million.
	They'll still be alive.
	They'll still own these things.
	Boomers largely own properties and corporate equities.
	This means Gen Z is going to be 37 years old and still have no access to owning property.
	And at the same time, there will be no Gen Alpha who should be entering their 20s to take the jobs.
	Of course, there are some, but they're not going to be taking these jobs.
	So you're looking at GTA 6 and being like, this delay sucks.
	Yo, I'm telling you, I hope you're prepared for how bad it's going to be.
	You will own nothing.
	You will be happy.
	That's what they said.
	And that's where Gen Z is headed.
	Millennials largely got the last chopper out of Nam.
	That's what it feels like.
	Like you were still able...
	It's something like a quarter of millennials.
	Oh, no, I'm sorry.
	Half of millennials own homes.
	Half of them didn't even make it out and are struggling.
	The other half found something.
	But Gen Z ain't going to be so pretty.
	And Gen Alpha, you're in serious trouble.
	Gen Alpha is going to be entering their 20s.
	Boomer is still around, owning largely all the properties.
	And I'm not saying literally every boomer owns property.
	There are a lot of poor boomers, too.
	But it's not going to be Gen Alpha that's got access to this stuff.
	They're going to be 20. They're going to be living with their parents.
	Gen Z is already doing that now.
	So no one's going to be buying houses.
	Property values are going to start imploding.
	Then you're going to get these big corporations like BlackRock swooping in and buying them up at premiums that the younger generations can't afford.
	So you want to talk about your video game?
	I hear you.
	I agree.
	It sucks.
	But this is a symptom of a much bigger problem that is only going to be exacerbated.
	And that's not including the insane hyperpolarization politically.
	So now that I've successfully taken your video game story and turned it into, I don't know, social collapse and disorder, you may be sufficiently blackpilled.
	It's not all the apocalypse.
	I mean, AI might change the game in ways that pick up the slack for the lack of population.
	Not that I think it's ultimately a good thing, but maybe you see new movies, new video games, and you get more of what you want because the robots will do it for you.
	I still think it's going to get worrisome with how and who maintains infrastructure and buildings and plumbing.
	The electrical grid.
	So we'll see, man.
	Anyway, GTA 6 is delayed again.
	There you go.
	I'm going to wrap it up there.
	Stay tuned.
	We've got more segments coming up for you in a little bit.
	Follow me on X and Instagram at TimCast, and we'll see you all then.
	In newly obtained video footage, Fox News has released Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was wrongly deported to El Salvador, is caught on camera trafficking human beings.
	Well, at least that's what the cops think.
	The cops say this dude's getting paid to haul these people for money.
	Cops released video of Kilmar Abrego Garcia traffic stop.
	Quote, he's hauling these people for money.
	Seriously.
	Now the response we're getting from Democrats is, but this is a violation of Dupraso.
	Bring him back.
	Hey, yo, wait a minute.
	How many times do I got to say this?
	All he's required for due process is a USCIS interview, and that's excluding the Alien Enemies Act.
	If we're operating under the AEA, he was rightfully deported.
	But let's just pause for a minute.
	Democrats are demanding he be brought back on this ego issue.
	Dude, what sane person would say, well, you know, he didn't get his USCIS interview, so he better be brought back.
	Well, they're lying.
	When they say due process, they're claiming he should get a jury trial.
	The issue is he had a withholding of deportation, which means an immigration official needs to ask him and review the current standards in El Salvador, which since 2013, since 2019, have improved tremendously.
	Mediaite says, newly released body cam video from 2022 shows the Tennessee traffic stop that President Donald Trump's administration is citing his evidence to support the deportation, excuse me, of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
	The footage obtained by Fox News Digital shows Tennessee Highway Patrol officers pulling over Abrego Garcia for speeding.
	Records detail how eight other men were crammed into a modified SUV with four rows of seats.
	Quote, how many rows have you gotten there?
	Four seats?
	Four rows of seats?
	Did y 'all put an extra one in, huh?
	Did y 'all put another one in?
	No, they come like this.
	I've never seen this one with this many seats.
	During the stop, the troopers interrogated Brigo Garcia on the $1,400 in cash he is carrying and an invalid Maryland driver's license.
	He's hauling these people for money.
	Hey, how about I just play the clip?
	Jesse Waters posted it.
	Let's roll tape.
jesse watters ▲ ● ▼		Who's trafficking?
		You know what you got here, right?
		Uh, no.
unidentified		He's, uh, he's hauling these people for money.
		He's got an asshole there, is what he's doing.
		But sometimes they kill him, Angle Dope.
		No. What?
		Did you see a squadron?
		There's eight people in there.
		Yeah, I know.
		I didn't know that.
		They put an extra roll in six.
		Yeah, yeah.
		So he's getting paid to haul his.
		Probably to Maryland.
		So, let me ask you this.
		They don't have any luggage in there, right?
		And if you get them out, they're going to have it.
		He's got $1,400 cash in his pocket in an envelope.
jesse watters ▲ ● ▼		In an envelope.
		One of the cops making a phone call.
		The body cam audio cuts out for 10 minutes.
		Sources told us that on that call was Joe Biden's FBI, which advised politicians...
		Whoa.
		Highway patrol called Biden's ICE, and they never showed up.
		Biden's guy said, an MS-13 gangster, suspected human smuggler and wife beater, released into the country.
		God knows what he did and was never caught for before Trump deported him.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Wow, man.
unidentified		This is crazy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Guys, Democrats are playing this game where they're like, we're principled.
		But we all remember exactly what happened with censorship.
		There was no principles there.
		They simply wanted power.
		And right now, the issue for us in the United States is quite simple.
		We don't want MS-13 human traffickers in this country.
		He beats his wife.
		He's been accused on numerous occasions.
		Even his wife's ex-husband said his children are not safe because this guy is a gang member.
		He's got $1,400 in an envelope transporting a bunch of guys that the cops believed was human trafficking.
		The footage is released.
		The documents are released.
		And still.
		Democrats are playing this game because of ego.
		They don't want to admit they were wrong.
		This is not a Maryland father seeking a better life.
		This is a criminal MS-13 gang member who's being paid money, according to this video and these cops, to haul people, to smuggle.
		He's a human trafficker.
		One of the most sickening crimes a person could commit.
		And Democrats are like, but doesn't matter, bring him back.
		Bring him back.
		How about we just all say, okay, from this point forward, like, here's what I'm satisfied with.
		Donald Trump, we recognize this guy is a human smuggler and a bad dude.
		So we're going to say, moving forward, you have to give the USCIS review, okay, if you're going to deport somebody.
		Otherwise, what are Democrats arguing for?
		See, man, they've successfully gaslit.
		Trump supporters into thinking due process means jury trial.
		I'm going to say it again because it does not.
		Due process means fair procedures under the law.
		That's it.
		And if you're a human trafficker, what is fair?
		Well, first, when we're talking about American citizens committing crimes, you will get a trial.
		That is what our legal process dictates.
		An American citizen accused of a crime goes before a jury of their peers or a judge, how they choose.
		And then there's an adversarial battle, unless they plead guilty.
		Now, let's say you're not a citizen and you're caught committing a crime.
		We just, bye, we send you home.
		Now, in this instance, he would likely get a hearing because of his withholding of deportation.
		That's the issue.
		The Trump admin says, no, no, no, no, no.
		The Alien Enemies Act, saying these gangs are invaders, they're committing crimes.
		We're not talking about a guy who fled his country.
		Came to America for a better life and then said, please don't send me back.
		I'll die.
		It's a guy who came here as a gang member accused of trafficking people and beating his wife, who then went, yeah, send me back.
		No, I'll die.
		And they said, OK, so you've got a bad guy who came here for bad reasons to cause harm to this country, hurt people.
		That's why we say Alien Enemies Act.
		Now, the funny thing is, is liberal pundits are like, he's not a terrorist.
		This is not terrorism.
		MS-13 has been implicated in the killing of politicians.
		It's not like nearly as many as some of the cartels, but yes, numerous occasions.
		They get paid for extortion and assassinations, targeting people who would stand in their way.
		They have killed activists who try to call them out.
		This is a gang.
		It operates like any gang.
		It's an international gang.
		It is a dangerous gang.
		These people, and I mean this, they are no one.
		To be trifled with.
		I am not exaggerating.
		The people who have tried to stand up to MS-13 have met very unfortunate ends.
		Some of these people, rumors are they get flayed alive.
		You know what that means?
	I'm not going to go into detail on that.
	For those that don't know what that means, I'm not going to go into detail on that.
	Sorry, but it's gruesome torture.
	So if you want to make the argument they're not terrorists because what they do isn't overtly political like al-Qaeda, I argue that's silly.
	Now I will say this.
	I sat down with Secretary Kristi Noem.
	And she said terrorists are people who are coming here with the intention to cause us harm, to engage in violence.
	It's a very broad definition.
	And I say, OK, well, terrorism is usually the use of violence for political ends.
	These people want to make money.
	They want control.
	They want to break the law.
	And they will target people who stand in their way, lawyers, politicians or otherwise.
	I say, fine.
	Maybe they're not the same thing as Al Qaeda or, you know, Hezbollah or something.
	But they're still terrorists.
	Maybe they're just not as pronounced as some of these organizations are because principally they're like selling drugs and trafficking people.
	But they still engage in that terroristic behavior and they are alien invaders to say the least.
	So we don't need to say, I don't care about the word terrorist.
	This is a criminal element seeking to hurt people coming into our country illegally and smuggling more people in.
	Tell me that's not an invasion.
	Let's go back in time to, like, the Founding Fathers.
	An enemy faction of the United States were funneling tons of people into the country to engage in criminal actions and violence against the American people.
	Yeah, I'm pretty sure they'd be like, that's an invasion.
	So how many of them are there?
	I don't know, tens of thousands, maybe millions?
	Millions!
	Back then, you had 2.5 million people living in this country.
	During the time, isn't it crazy?
	Like, less than 1%.
	So if you said 20,000 people, 20,000, they'd be like, that's insane.
	That's insane.
	It's not even 10%.
	They would say, that's an invasion, of course.
	Rally the troops.
	We can't have these people coming in like that.
	This is where we are right now, largely because Democrats can't accept they were wrong.
	Donald Trump, initially, his administration said, administrative error.
	It was.
	Under the standard proceedings, he needed that interview with USCIS.
	Fine.
	I say give it to him.
	I don't care.
	Then they said, you know what?
	Under the Alien Enemies Act, we didn't need it.
	That's why it happened.
	So, you know, it's the left hand not talking to the right.
	They thought it was an error, but no, we couldn't even clarify.
	They said, no, no, we're allowed to do this because they're MS-13.
	He's an El Salvadoran man.
	He's back in El Salvador.
	They decided what to do with him.
	It ain't our business.
	Now, you want to argue about Venezuela?
	That's a fair argument.
	I'll give you that one.
	The problem with Venezuela is they're refusing to repatriate their citizens.
	These are people, many of them, Trende Aragua, coming into the U.S. Here's the conundrum Democrats have proposed.
	If a Venezuelan criminal enters this country and we can't send them back to Venezuela, they get to stay here forever.
	That's insane.
	That makes no sense.
	Now, you want to argue we shouldn't by default send them to an El Salvadoran prison.
	Okay, we do have ourselves a conundrum.
	I don't think there's a good answer, and I wish this wasn't it.
	I don't like that they're doing this.
	The story of this gay hairdresser who came here illegally and got accused of being TDA and sent to the Seacott prison in El Salvador, it worries me.
	But you tell me what the solution is to people breaking our laws, entering the country illegally, and then refusing to leave.
	What do we do with them?
	There is no answer.
	There's none.
	Because if Trump lets them stay, then we're letting criminals stay in our country who seek to do us harm and violate our laws.
	We can't have that.
	So what do we do?
	Can't send them to Venezuela.
	Venezuela's refusing to repatriate.
	El Salvador?
	Well, if they go to any other country, they'll just come back.
	So what do we do?
	I don't have an answer.
	I don't like that we just, by default, send these people to Seacott.
	But there's no answer.
	So I'm going to say it like this.
	I don't want people sent to Seacott and El Salvador.
	Trump should not do that unless they are adjudicated as these gang members.
	In the case of this gay hairdresser, he had tattoos on his hands, on his wrist, that were crowns, that they say is associated with TDA, and he was Venezuelan, and he didn't come here illegally, so they said, out.
	I do believe he had a hearing, and they determined that was the case.
	It's not like some random guy got picked up, thrown in, at least I don't believe that is.
	Either way, as it pertains to that conundrum, I don't know what you'd have us do.
	I don't, like, this is an honest statement.
	I don't think they should be sent to a supermax.
	MS-13, El Salvadoran citizen?
	Yeah, fine.
	If they're adjudicated as gang members, fine.
	That's due process.
	This hairdresser guy?
	I don't know, man.
	But I can tell you this.
	No matter what happens, it's going to be bad.
	No matter what.
	Trump's going to say, you can't stay here.
	We're not going to let you break our laws.
	Come here and stay.
	And if we can't send you home because your country's refusing you, then you can go to CCOT.
	I wish there was a better answer, but I'm going to say, all right, I'm against that.
	I don't have an answer for you, though.
	I wish I did.
	I'll leave it there.
	Stay tuned.
	We've got more segments coming up throughout the day.
	My friends, follow me on Instagram at Timcast, and we'll see you all in the next segment.
	If YouTube were to follow its own policies and rules, and if it were to act fairly, then they would ban Brian Tyler Cohen and David Pakman instantly.
	Over the past seven years there have been serious scandals on YouTube pertaining to algorithmic manipulation of content.
	But something interesting happens when it overlaps with politics.
	YouTube gets scared to take down liberal politics but has no problem taking down conservatives.
	There have been many individuals on YouTube who get flagged relentlessly and suspended and banned for their political opinions.
	Strangely, liberals never seem to, despite the fact that they seem to break all of the same rules that YouTube claims they're enforcing against, notably algorithmic manipulation of content.
	Recently, there was a big story about AI-generated Trump videos that were really weird.
	It was weird stories.
	One that went viral recently was that Carolyn Levitt was having a debate with someone and insulting a journalist.
	I can't remember exactly what.
	Someone fabricated this content.
	Now, admittedly, fabricating AI content is very different from attacking the algorithm with a singular content purpose.
	But I will tell you this.
	Without blowing up anybody privately, I know some comedians who got banned That is,
	in several instances, people for political reasons have been banned.
	Now, to be fair, I don't want...
	David Pakman banned or Brian Tyler Cohen banned or Luke Beasley or many of these liberal personalities banned.
	I want them to express their opinions.
	But I do believe that YouTube should not allow this degree of algorithmic manipulation that these guys are engaged in.
	Of course, the challenge is because they're targeting Trump, they let it go.
	Take a look at this story from Wired.
	Dozens of YouTube channels are showing AI-generated cartoon gore and fetish content.
	Yep.
	They say a wide investigation found that dozens of YouTube channels are using generative AI to depict cartoon cats and minions being beaten, starved, and sexualized, sparking fears of a new Elsa gateway.
	We covered this on Timcast IRL just a few days ago.
	We have this from Mashable, 2017.
	Spider-Man vs.
	Elsa videos have taken over YouTube and it's so confusing what is going on.
	You can see the videos were taken down.
	This is where things get interesting.
	If YouTube were to adhere to their own policies, they would ban Brian Tyler Cohen and David Pakman.
	Let me show you why.
	I know you guys are saying, Tim, you've been talking about this a lot, but I really do think we've got an Elsagate phenomenon going on with these political actors.
	Brian Tyler Cohen does have a big channel.
	Congratulations.
	He gets lots of views.
	He gets 200,000 on one video, 200 on this one, 400 on this one, 300.
	100, 230, 500, a lot of views, a lot of views.
	Big channel.
	He's often featured on the default front page for people who are not subscribed to his channel.
	Now, what do you notice?
	Let's go through his video.
	Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
	Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, SCOTUS.
	Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
	You get the point.
	It looks like...
	Nine out of ten videos are literally just Trump humiliated, Trump write-offs rocked, major bad news for Trump and Republicans, Trump's worst nightmare, Trump appointed judge, Trump, Trump scorched earth.
	Oh yeah?
	What was ban-worthy about the Spider-Man Elsa videos?
	I'm going to say it again.
	These were videos where people would dress up like Spider-Man and people would dress up like Elsa and the Joker and they'd run around.
	That's it.
	The reason YouTube started taking these things down was that it was taking over YouTube and destroying the experience.
	YouTube had no problem saying, while you're not explicitly breaking the rules as we've defined them, you're violating the spirit of YouTube by spam-blasting the same thing over and over and over again.
	Here's David Pakman.
	Trump, Trump, Trump, disoriented Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
	This is like the third time I've shown you this stuff.
	But going over the new Elsagate phenomenon, when I saw this story from Wired, I couldn't help but realize Elsagate isn't the only thing.
	Back in 2017, what I noticed was the reason we can call out these videos, like this one.
	This is from a channel called Toys in Japan.
	The original videos were all deleted, but they did try to re-upload them and they failed.
	Why?
	YouTube stopped allowing it.
	So this video has Hitler.
	And Catwoman using the toilet with toilet noises while singing a nursery rhyme.
	Why?
	The algorithm was promoting all this stuff.
	So when we're looking at content like this, and we can see that spam blasting weird, creepy content to children is bad for us, YouTube says, stop promoting it, stop showing it, shut it down.
	But hold on.
	They didn't break the rules.
	It doesn't say you can't show Hitler on a toilet making fart noises.
	The problem was the platform was being dominated by this psychotic, deranged, obsessive content.
	Here's the problem.
	Brian Tyler Cohen gets 196 million views on his channel.
	That's more than Joe Rogan gets.
	Clearly, something is insane when a dude is spam blasting nothing but Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump over and over and over again.
	This is no different than Elsagate.
	The problem is we as adults focus on the president.
	We can't see it.
	It is normal for us to talk about the president.
	So if you're on the front page of YouTube and you see a video about Trump, you might watch it.
	But if you actually go to the dude's channel, you can see that what he is doing is 100% identical to Elsagate.
	He is spam blasting long form videos to manipulate the algorithm and get lots of views.
	That is against the rules.
	For reasons in fear of violating political speech, YouTube does nothing about it.
	But hold on.
	How come conservative channels had been censored in the past, not the liberal ones?
	Political bias.
	That being said, what should happen to David Pakman and Brian Tyler Cohen and Luke Beasley?
	I got him pulled up.
	He's not as bad.
	I'll give a shout out to Luke.
	Luke does a lot of Trump content, but it's not all Trump.
	So if we look at his, I'm going to exclude his main show, Members Only.
	Fair.
	He produces a full show, 144 minutes.
	You've got Trump, Scott Jennings, Trump, and then this one is MAGA campaign.
	I don't know if that one's Trump.
	So you've got Trump, not Trump.
	So let's just say two videos, one, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
	He's got a main show, but Trump, Trump, Trump, MAGA laughed at Trump.
	He does do a lot of Trump, but I'm going to give him this respect.
	The degree to which we allow people to talk about the president or not, you know, what am I going to say?
	He is the president.
	I talk about Trump quite a bit.
	I think it's fair.
	As long as you're covering the news, Trump dominates the news.
	But when I look at David Pakman and Brian Tyler Cohen explicitly, it's clear they're manipulating the algorithm by creating a political version of Elsagate.
	That's it.
	They are feeding the machine anti-Trump content and nothing else.
	What's the difference?
	Honestly, tell me.
	Because I can understand political.
	Spider-Man versus Elsa videos taking over YouTube.
	What's YouTube going to do?
	Well, I'll tell you what they did.
	They stopped allowing these videos.
	These videos have been removed for violating YouTube's terms of service.
	Hold on.
	What?
	Yo, these were videos of people running around doing children's gags dressed as Spider-Man, Elsa, and Joker.
	Some of them were weird, like Joker had a giant syringe and he'd chase around Elsa and pump it at her.
	But nothing was explicitly breaking the rules for the most part.
	Look at this one.
	They say the trend shows no sign of slowing.
	Channels including Beeble TV, Superheroes IRL, churn out almost one video a week, meaning titles like Double Pregnant Frozen Elsa vs.
	Doctor, Spider-Man vs.
	Joker, Maleficent Hulk Baby.
	You can say they took these down because they were trying to game the algorithm.
	What's the difference?
	Dude, come on.
	Brian Tyler Cohen is not making a news show.
	He's just Elsa-gating Trump.
	He's found a way to manipulate this the same as they were doing.
	The titles are all designed to game the algorithm.
	Trump scorched earth shocking.
	Trump Latino support collapses.
	Trump fresh blow disaster update.
	It's literally all just Trump news.
	The joke we made the other day is I'm going to make a video and I'm going to put Trump in the title.
	It's a joke.
	But you can see exactly what's going on.
	We are experiencing this again with these creepy AI videos.
	YouTube just deleted a channel.
	Let me see if I can find this one.
	AI Trump YouTube videos.
	Let's see if we can find this.
	AI Slop Farms.
	Here we go.
	Check this out from Mother Jones.
	Mother Jones is lefty.
	Take a look at this.
	AI Slop Farms are churning out fake, heartwarming videos about Trump figures.
	Look at this weird AI video of a fly.
	Like, this is creepy.
	The judge demanded that the White House press secretary, Carolyn Levitt, remove her cross necklace, but soon he was humiliated.
	A man tried to yell at Vice President J.D. Vance in a cafe.
	I get it.
	You're saying, hey, wait, wait, these are fake videos, Tim.
	Do they break the rules?
	Honest question.
	The videos are part of an increasingly broad river of AI slop that runs through the internet.
	A torrent of low-quality, artificially generated content that's as clumsy as it is omnipresent.
	AI slop is especially prevalent on TikTok and Facebook.
	Don't forget Instagram.
	YouTube took these channels down.
	They took this content down.
	But I ask you this.
	A hard look at the rules.
	What is against the rules of making fictional stories?
	Many of these channels explicitly put in the comments, this is fantasy.
	But it was going viral.
	It was gaming the algorithm.
	It was hitting the front page.
	People were watching it.
	So then the issue is.
	Where is the line?
	And when you allow people to algorithmically game the algorithm, if YouTube was going to be fair, then at the very least message these guys and say, guys, you need to stop making nothing but Trump slop.
	It's nothing but Trump slop.
	The problem?
	Overtly political.
	These are pundits.
	With political views that support Democrats, and they build their platform and make millions of dollars off of making Trump slop.
	That's it.
	It may be them actually talking about news, but literally all they do is spam blast Trump to game the algorithm.
	If they were actual news and commentary shows, they'd talk about a range of other issues.
	Look, I can do this, and I look at my channel.
	Body camera footage on Kelmar Obrego, GTA 6 delayed.
	Trump executive order, a man accused of killing a person, underground bunkers, Democrats—which one is this one?
	This one's about Democrats on the manosphere, Democrat launching impeachment against Trump, Democrats humiliated over a new report about Obrigo Garcia, and I put Trump in the headline, but that was a story about Trump.
	Mass power outages in the EU.
	Look, they're going to come out and say, Tim's just mad he's not getting the views we are.
	I'd be willing to bet we're probably making more money than they are.
	But by all means, they can play that game.
	If they want to make the argument that they get more views by producing slop Trump content, slop Trump content, please make that argument.
	But it is the same thing as Elsagate.
	Prove me wrong.
	Now they're going to argue, I actually am talking, dude.
	It is impossible that everything Trump does is wrong.
	It's impossible.
	It's impossible that Trump never has a good moment.
	It's impossible.
	Impossible!
	So don't tell me that you're playing it straight.
	Brian Tyler Cohen's response to me was that Tim's upset as God King thought the Obrigo Garcia tattoos were real.
	Homie, I made a video and we talked on IRL about how he looked stupid for making that gaffe.
	Because Trump, it's impossible to always do everything right.
	I went on Piers Morgan who was asked and said, I think he's gotten some things wrong.
	401k is going down is bad and people losing money is bad.
	That's just it.
	Whether there's going to be a long-term gain from it, we'll see.
	But it's impossible that Trump is always wrong or always right.
	So for these channels that make literally every single video, Trump is bad, Trump is bad, Trump is bad, they're gaming the algorithm.
	That's against the rules.
	But you know what?
	YouTube is biased.
	Here's my request.
	Let me do this.
	I'm going to pull up some of my other haters.
	Sam Seder.
	Let's pull up Sam.
	The majority report with Sam Seder.
unidentified		What has he got?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Tim Pool's dumbest meltdown is his latest video.
		Maybe his dumbest.
		You know what?
		I respect it.
		Sam Seder attacking me?
		I'm a different person from Trump.
		Venture capitalist.
		Trump.
		Trump.
		Trump, Democratic Party's obsession, Bernie Sanders, Republican booed, CNN.
		I'm going to say this.
		I will give Sam Seder respect 100% for this.
		He put up a video about me.
		He loves putting up videos about me.
		But at least he's not spam blasting the algorithm to generate fake views.
		J.B. Pritzker, Senate Democrats.
		I mean it sincerely, Sam.
		Shout out.
		I disagree with you.
		I think you're doing WWE nonsense talking about me, but I'm going to give you the respect for actually talking news.
		For real.
		I wonder, I want to check this.
		Hassan Piker on YouTube.
		I don't watch Hassan.
		He's got 1.6 million followers.
		Is he still putting up videos?
		Let's do this.
		I'm pretty sure Hassan's going to get the same respect.
		AI making people dumb.
		Shout out.
		Good video.
		I agree.
		Ben Gavir.
		Incompetent governments.
		He didn't put Trump in it.
		He's talking about strikes in the Middle East.
		Judge frees a student.
		Liberals in Canada.
		Ethan Klein debating Sam Seder.
		400,000.
		Great.
		Trump video.
		Look at that.
		Conservative Aussie calls me out.
		Lowest approval rating.
		But he didn't put Trump in the headline.
		Look at that.
		He makes fun of Trump, but he didn't put him in the headline.
		North Korea.
		U.S. citizens get deported.
		It's Tom Homan.
		Hassan, respect.
		I'm going to tell you this straight up.
		People don't like Sam or Hassan, but I will say this.
		They're actually talking about issues.
		My concern is the Elsagate algorithmic slop that these liberal personalities, and there's more than just David and Brian, that are putting out to game the algorithm.
		That's destructive.
		Hassan having a bad opinion that I disagree with, that's allowed.
		That's fine.
		I think he's wrong, and we'll mock him if we think he's wrong.
		But he's not doing anything morally unethical or in violation of the rules because...
		He's actually talking about news in general and a variety of issues, and so is Sam Seder.
		What I would say to these guys is, I disagree with them.
		I think Hassan gets a lot wrong.
	I think Sam talks about me too much.
	I ain't that important, but hey, I guess respect.
	But these other guys freak me out because they're Elsagate for YouTube.
	Elsagate for adults.
	You get the point.
	I don't need to harp on this.
	I've been ranting about it for a while because I've got to tell you, it is freaky.
	That these channels gain the algorithm and gain so much.
	They make so much money.
	I mean, they make so much money from doing this.
	Hassan's a millionaire, but shout out to Hassan.
	He's talking about a variety of issues.
	He's an actual political commentator, despite what you may think about him.
	Same thing with Sam Seder.
	If he wants to talk about me, I think it's weird he talks about me so much, to be fair.
	But at least he's commenting on a variety of political issues.
	What the...
	Is this with every single video just being Trump?
	That's nuts.
	I'm going to wrap it up there.
	Smash the like button.
	Share the show with everyone.
	You know, we got more segments coming up and we'll see you all then.
	Georgia, former Democrat, congressional candidate who called for Trump's assassination arrested in multi-state child sex trafficking sting.
	I got this from the Gateway Pundit.
	They brought it all together.
	But let me just make sure you guys see this.
	I got multiple sources.
	Officials say 32-year-old Carl Spayberry and 18 other suspects are behind bars after a four-day operation focused on individuals engaging in sexually explicit communications with children on the internet who arranged for...
	Wow.
	I hate saying this stuff.
	Engage in those activities with children and to travel for those purposes.
	Spayberry ran for District 139 in November's 2024 election.
	Here he is, Carl Spayberry, charged with human trafficking in Sheff, Columbus, Georgia.
	They say Spayberry, a former Democratic candidate, has been arrested as part of a sweeping multi-agency child sex trafficking operation, known as Operation Lights Out.
	The sting conducted between April 25th and April 28th resulted in the arrest of 19 suspects, accused...
	Of attempting to exploit children online, according to WTVM.
	Spayberry, 32, who once ran for state office and publicly called for the assassination of President Donald Trump on a social media post, is among those charged with human trafficking.
	He posted on social media, Donald Trump has committed an act of high treason should Congress refuse to take action.
	Yikes.
	I'm not going to read what he said next.
	But you can get the idea.
	He followed up with another chilling post.
	Implying that a Secret Service agent, yikes, he was just calling for Trump to have his life taken from him.
	That's crazy.
	Statements like these are not just dangerous, they're criminal.
	Spayberry should have been immediately arrested by the Secret Service.
	Excuse me.
	How someone openly threatening a president remained free until now.
	The operation, a joint effort by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the Muscogee County Sheriff's Office, We've got the full list of the suspects that were arrested right here.
	We have the story from WTVM.
	Georgia politician among 19 arrested in multi-agency human trafficking operation.
	Ah, this is crazy, man.
	They say, according to the MCSO, the operation targeted those willing to exploit children by purchasing sex with a minor.
	Officials say boys and girls were targeted through social media apps and dating websites.
	Authorities confirmed no children have been harmed.
	Quote, there were no children harmed at harm at all in this, said Brian Johnston, GBI special agent in charge.
	Except for the fact that we...
	That had we not been there as law enforcement working in an undercover capacity, these very same perpetrators that were arrested would have been talking to our children in our community, and they would have been talking about sex acts and meeting up.
	Jeez, and exchanging images.
	Adult images.
	An operation like this takes months to prepare.
	Protecting our children from these kinds of predators is one of the most important things that we can do, both as law enforcement and as prosecutors.
	Officials with the MCSO encouraged parents to monitor their children while using social media.
	I can't stress enough.
	For the parents, please monitor your children and what they do on their computers, emphasized Sheriff Countryman.
	What a name.
unidentified		Wow.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Sheriff Countryman.
		It's okay to be a nosy parent, know who they're speaking with, because we're not going to stop until they stop preying on our kids.
		I've got the Ballotpedia for Carl Spayberry.
		He ran for election for the Georgia House of Representatives, District 139, and lost in the general election on November 5th.
		He ran against Carmen Rice.
		She got 19,000 votes to his 10,000.
		It seems like he ran unopposed in the Democrat primary in this jurisdiction, getting 1,804 votes.
		Here's my question.
		Take a look at this.
		He's ran numerous times, actually.
		In 2020, he ran as a Democrat against Richard H. Smith and lost.
		In the primary, he ran against William Toe and won in the primary.
		That's crazy.
		I don't know if they have any other information, but I will just say this.
		This story...
		Look, I think, my friends, there's a reason why there are a lot of Democrats who are child predators.
		The party has become incoherent.
		It's defending...
		Strange behaviors of minors that normally they'd get treatment for.
		The argument that's made by made by conservatives consistently is that when these liberals come out and say that children can consent to child sex changes, the next step is going to be they can consent in general.
		And that is wrong.
		Parents need to control their children in many ways.
		Even at 18 years old.
		You're not a fully developed adult human being yet.
		I think 24 is around the average age at which a human being becomes fully developed.
		Your brain kind of solidifies.
		So what I see happening now is there's been talk about like Roblox.
		These predators will go on Roblox and target kids, say creepy things to them to try and shape their brains.
		Here's the sad reality.
		For our country, we do not.
		Take advantage of the most important formative years of human beings' life.
		Zero through five.
		When the brain is developing and wiring around to fit the world that it sees.
		This means that if you goo-goo-ga-ga a baby, they will develop speech impediments.
		Isn't that something?
		We see people doing that stuff all the time.
		To babies.
		The issue is, in the baby's mind, the neural pathways are not yet formed.
		It's trying to mimic and create the ability to do what you are doing.
		That's why they say don't Google Gaga the baby.
		Speak to babies like they're adults so that they can learn to emulate functional adults.
		Instead, we put them in front of tablets and TVs.
		They get their brains polluted by psychotic content and preyed upon by people like this guy.
		Now, he's being alleged.
		I don't know exactly what happened, but I'm not surprised to see.
		That Democrats are marching in lockstep with this, considering they're claiming 10-year-olds can choose their gender.
		10. Yo, these people, I think most of them that are supporting this stuff, have never met a 10-year-old.
		10-year-olds who don't yet know what they want to be or what they are.
		You see little kids.
		They mimic adults.
		Why do they say don't swear in front of kids?
		Why did we have obscenity laws?
		Why did we say don't swear on TV?
		Because kids will mimic this behavior and their brains will be wired for it.
		This is why these people are targeting children.
		One, they're perverted deviants.
		They should be in prison and stopped.
		But the Democrats at large have been infected by a group of people that want to prey upon children.
		The evidence?
		I don't know.
		A Democrat politician being charged with these crimes?
		Not proof, because we don't know this guy, what he did.
		He's being charged and innocent until proven guilty.
		I'll respect that.
	But we also saw that guy.
	What's his face?
	That guy in California, that fundraiser, I think his name was Ed Buck or something.
	And he had a bunch of young men dying of drug overdoses in his house, I think.
	That's what the reporting was.
	It's been a while.
	Why do we get so many of these stories?
	My view is the Democratic Party, as of today, in a desperate bid to build some kind of coalition.
	Has opened up their doors to criminals and predators, and that's why they won't back off this creepy stuff.
	Because they want the votes and the power.
	Now, they are trying to fill their ranks by flooding the country with illegal immigrants.
	And I don't mean voters.
	I mean constituents to increase the amount of congressional seats they get, and in turn, how many electoral votes they get.
	And if they get power, they are going to vote to lower the voting age, lower the age of consent.
	Not because every Democrat has always been a pedo, but because the Democratic Party has opened their doors to people who have these views, who want kids on drugs, who want kids to take weird puberty-blocking drugs, who can consent for themselves,
	who can vote at 16. That's the world they're trying to build.
	I think we'll see more of this.
	I think especially with Donald Trump, we're going to see more arrests like this.
	They're not going to tolerate it.
	I don't know what this means ultimately for the Democratic Party if we do get more stories where people are calling out that these people are accused of, at least right now, of engaging this behavior.
	But you take a look at the mega donors and we've got questions.
	Take a look at those people that were hanging out with Epstein.
	Hey, look, people on the left, they want to say, I got a photo of Trump with Epstein.
	I ain't talking about a photo.
	I ain't talking about even taking a flight across the country.
	You know, a lot of people are like, who's on the flight logs?
	It's, you know, I'm interested.
	I'm interested in the flight logs to the island.
	So Donald Trump and RFK Jr., I believe both have flown on his jet.
	But that doesn't mean a whole lot.
	Did they fly in his jet to his island?
	I want answers.
	I don't care if it's Trump, RFK, or anybody.
	They flew to Epstein Island with Epstein?
	Expose them.
	Don't care if it's Trump or RFK Jr.
	But I gotta bet.
	I'm gonna bet.
	Most of these people?
	Vote Democrat.
	We'll see.
	I'm going to wrap it up there, my friend.
	Stay tuned.
	We've got more coming up for you today.
	And, of course, we'll be back for Tim Castile tonight.
