| Elon Musk was speaking at a New York Times event and he was asked about advertisers and | ||
| the boycott and he said, go F yourselves. | ||
| And we're gonna play that video for you. | ||
| He said, anybody who wants to try blackmailing me with money, go F yourselves, in a powerful statement. | ||
| He goes on to talk about his motivations, and he makes really great points. | ||
| There are these companies that pretend to do good while doing evil, just so they can earn those ESG scores, whereas he sees what he's working on as genuinely doing good, but being attacked relentlessly. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| We got more news, too. | ||
| This morning, Rumble announced a lawsuit against a group of activists that target conservative media, or just in general, politics and media platforms they don't like, and tried to get their ads pulled. | ||
| Chris Pawlowski, the CEO, said, the cavalry is here, announcing this lawsuit. | ||
| And, well, the rumor is there's going to be many, many more lawsuits. | ||
| And before the show, I saw a very, very interesting story. | ||
| UFOs. | ||
| And you know what that means? | ||
| Hunter Biden's in the news again, because apparently they found these erratic payments from what, where was it from? | ||
| Like from China or something? | ||
| Yeah, from China in 2018. | ||
| From China in 2018. | ||
| No, but literally, literally, so, all right, all right, breaking KFAP here a little bit. | ||
| So Tim was going through show prep, looking at headlines, looking at headlines going, all right, what are we going to talk about? | ||
| Like, you know, he works out his segments, he's got the titles, you know, pre-planned for tomorrow, whatever. | ||
| And then he goes, oh look, UFOs, there must be some Hunter Biden news just dropping. | ||
| And then Libby's sitting there going, wait, there just was Hunter Biden news. | ||
| And you didn't know that. | ||
| She's like, no, the Hunter Biden story from earlier. | ||
| And I was like, what? | ||
| And you're like, 20 minutes ago, the Hunter Biden story about the payments. | ||
| And I was like, no. | ||
| So that's the news. | ||
| Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and buy our coffee. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because it's the best coffee you'll ever have. | ||
| Appalachian Nights is so good. | ||
| We sell out an insane amount. | ||
| We're constantly trying to re, oh, we're sold out. | ||
| Okay, now, we're sold out of ground Appalachian Nights, but we still have Appalachian Nights whole bean. | ||
| And we also have K-Cups, and we've got light roast, dark roast, it's ground, it's whole. | ||
| And you can join the Cast Brew Coffee Club if you want to support our work. | ||
| We're building a coffee shop, as many of you know, and we want to create physical locations around the country where you can hang out with like-minded individuals. | ||
| That's the plan. | ||
| That's why we're launching a coffee company for our coffee shops, but it's easier to create the coffee than it is to make the building, so it's taking some time. | ||
| But also, don't forget to go to TimCast.com, click Join Us, So you can hang out in the members-only Discord with like-minded individuals, because we're trying to build culture and community, but also you'll get access to our uncensored members-only show tonight at 10 p.m., where you can call in and ask us and our guests questions. | ||
| It'll be a whole lot of fun. | ||

| Sharing really does help. | ||
| Joining us tonight, as you already know, we got Jack and Libby. | ||
| Jack, what up? | ||
| Jack Posobiec here from Human Events, and I just gotta say, man, I really agree with Elon Musk, his statement just there. | ||
| You cannot blackmail me for money. | ||
| And if you want to try to blackmail me for money, then... You know, how much are we talking? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, I think maybe, you know, let's chat, let's chat. | |
| I don't quite have Elon money, so give me a call. | ||
| Like a million dollars. | ||
| I mean, a billion. | ||
| Well, we'll get into that. | ||
| I've got a lot to say about this. | ||
| I could do a lot of free speech for a billion dollars, Tim. | ||
| I'm just saying. | ||
| That's true, that's true. | ||
| Buy you a lot of pillows, you know? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Tons. | |
| Buy you a lot of pillows from MyPillow.com. | ||
| Have you completed your MyPillow Christmas order yet? | ||
| I just have a quick question. | ||
| Have you taken advantage of the Christmas sale? | ||
| I've been checking. | ||
| I've been looking over your shoulder. | ||
| I've been keeping an eye on everything that you're doing there, Hannah. | ||
| Have you completed your Christmas order? | ||
| There's a lot of intense staring happening right now. | ||
| I'm just going to look their way. | ||
| Wait, what was that? | ||
| MyPillow.com, Bruno Caposo. | ||
| I don't know who Hannah is. | ||
| I'm Hannah Claire Brimlow. | ||
| I'm a writer for Scanner. | ||
| I'm not used to saying it yet. | ||
| Well, it's not formally TimCast News. | ||
| It's still kind of TimCast News. | ||
| SCNR's been around longer than TimCast News. | ||
| Well, but I was with TimCast News first. | ||
| I was formerly with TimCast News, and now I'm with Scanner. | ||
| And you were fired. | ||
| Yeah, Tim fired me, then rehired me in the quickest chain of successions. | ||
| It was a lot. | ||
| It was a very traumatic day. | ||
| Yeah, SCNR.com's been around for a while. | ||
| Do we call it SCNR instead of Scanner? | ||
| SCNR or Scanner, whatever you want to call it. | ||
| I like Scanner. | ||
| But it's like, if people are trying to look for the website, scnr.com, it's getting off the ground. | ||
| We've got a lot of plans for it. | ||
| There's other people involved. | ||
| We have, this one actually is from several years ago, overcoming some legal challenges, but it's back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is back. | |
| Articles are starting to populate. | ||
| And Shane Cashman wrote this crazy article about going with these pedo... He sent me that, yeah. | ||
| It's a wild story. | ||
| Yeah, it's really wild. | ||
| But yes, Hannah Clare is also a writer for Scanner. | ||
| Yes, I am a writer for Scanner, which is new to me, but not new to everyone. | ||
| And Tim Casper and Libby's here. | ||
| Hey, I'm Libby Emmons. | ||
| I am with the Postmillennial and humanevents.com. | ||
| And I just want to say, I think they're doing some kind of manhunt around the property. | ||
| I'm wondering what it is. | ||
| It's all over. | ||
| There's like a helicopter flying at like 50 feet. | ||
| Yeah, so I thought it was a lawnmower fan. | ||
| And it seemed to be going, so you know what they're doing there? | ||
| That's, you know, it's, it's flying, it's flying in circles. | ||
| No, they've got, no, it's, it's concentric circles there. | ||
| If, if it is, there is a manhunt. | ||
| They're either looking for someone or they're doing training as if they're looking for someone. | ||
| Well, it's awfully close to the ground. | ||
| It's weird that you have this spin, though. | ||
| You're saying that they're looking for someone. | ||
| They're pretending to look for someone. | ||
| It's definitely not you. | ||
| You're not on the run. | ||
| No, no, it's just training. | ||
| That's just a weather balloon, buddy. | ||
| Don't worry about that. | ||
| It's swamp gas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's a bunch of swamp gas out there. | |
| So we got Serge, press the buttons. | ||
| Yeah, I'm here. | ||
| Just listening to Jack talk about his operation going on outside. | ||
| So it'll get quieter, and then it'll get louder, and then it'll get quieter, and then it'll get louder, and then I will find the person who's been using promo code Tanya within this zip code. | ||
| We tracked it to a single computer. | ||
| Someone who said they formerly worked for TimCast News now works for something called SCNR. | ||
| I have no idea who she is, but we will track her down. | ||
| But Tanya's a great lady. | ||
| Have you guys met her? | ||
| She's fantastic. | ||
| She's alright. | ||
| Yeah, I'm just gonna say. | ||
| I like her. | ||
| I'll keep her. | ||
| So, promo code Tanya? | ||
| No, that doesn't exist. | ||
| That's not a real thing, as a matter of fact. | ||
| It's a sting operation that's been operating from the start, which you should never do. | ||
| Let's jump into this first story from scnr.com scanner. | ||
| What a cool new line. I love it Yeah, Elon Musk on advertisers withdrawing from axe | ||
| We're getting we're getting off to an early start so earmuffs your kids | ||
| Go fuck yourself. | ||
| Wow, man. | ||
| By the way, Tiny, you can probably not have the kids watch. | ||
| That's a quote. | ||
| That's a direct quote. | ||
| That's why I said F in the beginning, because I said we're going to play the video. | ||
| You need the context. | ||
| The whole world will know those advertisers that killed the company. | ||
| This is what I've been saying. | ||
| I was saying, In 2018, when the adpocalypse happened on YouTube, I said, if Coca-Cola, or insert company, let's say Coca-Cola as an example. | ||
| I don't know if they boycotted, but let's say they go to YouTube and say, we're going to pull our ads off because of the brand safety issue. | ||
| YouTube should have said, well, okay, I guess we can give all of your ad space to Pepsi instead. | ||
| And they would have been like, wait, no, that's really bad for our brand. | ||
| Yeah, we're going to go give it to your principal, actually RC Cola. | ||
| RC Cola is getting all of your ad space now, free of charge. | ||
| Remember Jolt Cola? | ||
| Can we give it to Jolt Cola? | ||
| Oh, I love Jolt Cola! | ||
| Bring it back! | ||
| Bring Jolt Cola back! | ||
| What's the thing that the Insane Clown Posse guys drink? | ||
| Vago. | ||
| Yeah, let's put it in that. | ||
| Let's play this clip. | ||
| I used to drink Jolt at the South Street Diner. | ||
| Serge, remember Serge? | ||
| All right, here we go. | ||
| Here's the clip. | ||
| Apology tour, if you will. | ||
| This had been said online. | ||
| There was all of the criticism. | ||
| There was advertisers leaving. | ||
| We talked to Bob Iger today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I hope they stop. | |
| You hope? | ||
| Don't advertise. | ||
| You don't want them to advertise? | ||
| No. | ||
| If somebody's going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go fuck yourself. | ||
| He's like nervous laughter. | ||
| Look at Sorkin! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go. | |
| Fuck. | ||
| Yourself. | ||
| Is he doing it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
In case he wasn't clear enough, the first step is... Oh, you calling him out? | |
| Hey, Bob. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Because Bob Iger spoke earlier that day. | ||
| Bob Iger, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think he's still in the room, actually, when he's saying this. | |
| Absolutely amazing. | ||
| When he's like, I hope they stop. | ||
| You can actually free advertising. | ||
| He actually freezes for a second. | ||
| So. | ||
| So Andrew Sorge, this is a guy, you know, he's CNBC, but he's kind of like their golden boy. | ||
| Then he goes on, this is the New York Times Summit. | ||
| This is like the masters of the universe of Wall Street. | ||
| They're all there. | ||
| Elon comes in. | ||
| This is where Jamie Dimon, I think earlier in the day came out and urged everyone to get behind Nikki Haley. | ||
| They're like, Hey, let's Let's get the uniparty back together. | ||
| You know, let's, let's do it guys. | ||
| Remember we used to run game before Trump. | ||
| We're going to do that again. | ||
| And, and Sorkin was totally done and everyone was fine with that. | ||
| Like you can, you can be totally fine by telling people that you want to go on a murderous rampage and invade the Middle East and kill thousands of people. | ||
| That's cool. | ||
| And, and nobody bats an eye, but if you tell advertisers to F off, then everybody loses. | ||
| I was gonna say, you can advocate for attacking Russia. | ||
| Yes, nuclear war. | ||
| Nuclear war, but if you say we're going to build a wall on our southern border, well now you're a bigot, racist, and must be stopped. | ||
| And there's no way to afford that. | ||
| We couldn't possibly afford $3 billion for the wall, even though we're paying, what, $450 billion for all the illegals? | ||
| Is it a billion or a million? | ||
| I think it's a billion. | ||
| It's actually a billion. | ||
| I almost can't believe this. | ||
| You see Chicago, they're building the camps? | ||
| I love it. | ||
| With churches? | ||
| No. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| They have big, empty industrial lots. | ||
| I'm mixing up stories. | ||
| In two areas in the south side of Chicago, they're building a brick-and-mortar migrant camp, and then they're also building a tent city. | ||
| Well, you see, that'll be perfect for once we get in power for the mass deportations to start, because Stephen Miller is going to run up there himself and actually just start shoveling them onto the back of trucks. | ||
| Alex Jones called this a long time ago. | ||
| It's wild. | ||
| Look, the left is far more willing to use government power against any target than the right is. | ||
| The right is terrified of wielding power. | ||
| The left has no problem whatsoever. | ||
| Yeah, well that's right because the left is, that's what they decided governance is. | ||
| They decided governance is using the government to suppress the American people and that's their plan. | ||
| Right, the only difference is they'd want to put us in there. | ||
| So going back to the Elon story, I don't know if this was a response, but there's a quote from Bob Iger. | ||
| I have a lot of respect for Elon and what he has accomplished, said Iger. | ||
| We know that Elon is larger than life in many respects, and that his name is very much connected to the companies he founded or owns. | ||
| By him taking the position he took in a public manner, we felt that the association was not necessarily a positive one for us. | ||
| And I'm gonna go ahead and say they're lying. | ||
| It's not a response, he said it prior. | ||
| He said it probably right. | ||
| And he's lying because... So that's why he said, hi, Bob. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They wrote to their shareholders. | ||
| Iger is Disney, right? | ||
| Bob Iger, yeah. | ||
| They wrote that they know that their views are misaligned with the public. | ||
| Internally. | ||
| To shareholders, to investors. | ||
| So they know that they're on the wrong side of all of this and they're losing money because of it. | ||
| Well, and that movie Wish just totally flopped at the box office. | ||
| Pure communism. | ||
| The Marvels was the other one. | ||
| Just absolute flop. | ||
| And the books aren't doing well either. | ||
| So the actress formerly known as Paige, that book totally flopped after getting a massive advance from publishers. | ||
| Jemele Hill's book totally flopped after getting a massive advance. | ||
| They sold like a couple thousand copies. | ||
| There's just no market for this crap. | ||
| But what's wild is... | ||
| They, they sold out, what was it, a six-month supply of Michael Knowles' cigars in 24 hours. | ||
| Oh, in 24 hours, yeah. | ||
| And he was like, the supplier assured us, this is six months, trust us. | ||
| And he's like, okay, and then 24 hours, it's gone. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| And then we wonder why the book about queering the Western did not take off. | ||
| It was a queer Western. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Because that's what people are looking for. | ||
| No one wanted to read it. | ||
| These all had hefty advances. | ||
| It's not just like Wish or the Marvels. | ||
| Remember Strange World or whatever it was called? | ||
| Like the whole plot was like a diverse group of people with a bunch of different identities or whatever. | ||
| Are you really gonna have to narrow it down? | ||
| Are they going to Space Quest and Crash? | ||
| That's literally everything now, Tim. | ||
| I've got no idea. | ||
| I'm not going to watch any of that stuff. | ||
| A diverse group of friends, that's how every single movie pitch starts right now. | ||
| What absolutely is wild, we talked about this with Jeremy Boring the other day, is that two weeks after Daily Wire announces they're Snow White, Disney releases a photo of Rachel Ziegler in the original Snow White costume with dwarves around, or with the original seven dwarves. | ||
| We saw the photos of the seven companions. | ||
| I guess they're going to fire all those actors? | ||
| Just they're all gone now? | ||
| On the face of it, wouldn't it have been really cool if they had got Peter Dinklage and had him play all seven of the shows? | ||
| But he was the one who said no! | ||
| Wasn't he the one who was like, no, you can't hire him. | ||
| And then there were a lot of other people who were like, you are limiting us. | ||
| We don't care about this. | ||
| We would love to be cast in these roles. | ||
| Wouldn't that have been hilarious to have him in, you know, and he's got like a different beard or a different hair, a different hat. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That would just be good. | ||
| And I don't think anyone would be making fun of you. | ||
| It's because these are iconic characters. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So mythical dwarves are forged from the stone inside of mountains. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Like, we're not insulting you, bro. | ||
| It's like a mythical character. | ||
| And the women have beards. | ||
| Female dwarves have beards. | ||
| It's like a mythical thing. | ||
| There's a lot of politicians who have beards, too. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| That is absolutely correct. | ||
| But, you know, he takes it personally. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm wondering, though, where is he going to get the money for operating this platform that we all like? | ||
| I mean, this is what Elon was kind of saying, which is that the business will fail and everyone will closely document which companies pulled out and allowed Twitter to fail. | ||
| And Sorkin kind of stutters and is like, no, no, the advertisers are going to say, you said those things and they couldn't be on the platform anymore. | ||
| And that's why they pulled out. | ||
| And Musk responds, we'll see how Earth responds to that. | ||
| Because, ultimately, if the advertisers aren't ruining something the public wants, like Twitter, I mean, there are a lot of Twitter competitors or ex-competitors out there, but nothing succeeded in replacing them. | ||
| And so people will know who pulled out and wanted to ruin it. | ||
| Threads sucks. | ||
| Elon needs to reach out to Anheuser-Busch. | ||
| And go for Bud Light. | ||
| I'm a big Bud Light fan, by the way. | ||
| Bud Light's the go-to beer. | ||
| Because they basically totally reversed course in the exact opposite direction by doing this. | ||
| So now you have Sean Strickland saying things I can't repeat on YouTube. | ||
| And they're subsidizing it. | ||
| And they're subsidizing it. | ||
| So I'm like, okay, let's push that. | ||
| Let's have that be the narrative. | ||
| Plus, who doesn't love a good redemption story? | ||
| Yeah, I feel like I'm holding out. | ||
| They need a little bit more redemption from them, but it's a step in the right direction. | ||
| But if every company that did some woke BS flipped and started sponsoring people we liked, we have to accept that as a win. | ||
| You're not going to get rid of Anheuser-Busch. | ||
| The company's just too powerful to ever stop existing. | ||
| We talked about this on ThoughtCrime with the show I do with Charlie, You know, it's sort of like, at what point do you stop beating, right? | ||
| You stop beating until they correct the behavior. | ||
| So if they've overcorrected in the other behavior, then they're okay. | ||
| Now we have to- now, so Absolute Vodka, I think, Libby, you were- you were tweeting about this. | ||
| Like, they're- they've gone 10 times worse than anything that Bud Light ever did. | ||
| Well, no more Absolute Vodka. | ||
| We- what do we have? | ||
| We have- our stuff's from Russia. | ||
| Tim's cutting himself off. | ||
| Cutting off? | ||
| We never bought that crap. | ||
| We buy- our stuff's from Russia. | ||
| The real stuff. | ||
| Yeah, real stuff. | ||
| Vodka. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The real vodka. | |
| That's how you do it. | ||
| This is what you do. | ||
| I thought it was funny too. | ||
| Cure COVID with vodka. | ||
| We bought it at like the peak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. | ||
| And then the guy at the liquor store is like, that's from Russia. | ||
| And I'm like, I'll take three. | ||
| I never saw it again. | ||
| I mean, legend says that Russia has the good vodka. | ||
| No one's actually had any, I'm pretty sure. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Like, we have Grey Goose, too, in the liquor cabinet. | ||
| If they turn you to beer, Tim's gonna come in with like a Z on his... I used to buy Zhelka vodka from this liquor store called KGB Liquors on Essex Street in Manhattan. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| Everybody drinks scotch. | ||
| You're like, someone comes in and they're like, I'll have a drink. | ||
| They're going for some kind of like a scotch or a bourbon. | ||
| Nobody touches the tequila or the vodka. | ||
| One of those like college party drinks, I guess. | ||
| I'm like, we got good stuff. | ||
| We'll take care of our guests. | ||
| I think scotch would just savor a little bit more. | ||
| I guess. | ||
| The best thing ever, shout out to Max Blumenthal, he went right for the malort. | ||
| And he was like, oh, malort. | ||
| And I was like, are you joking? | ||
| He was like, no, I love this stuff. | ||
| And I was like, oh, wow. | ||
| For those that don't know, it's a Chicago thing. | ||
| I would say though, what Elon has done here, He has declared a new meme war. | ||
| He has declared meme jihad on any advertiser that's come. | ||
| That's what he's done. | ||
| He's gone to the heart of Wall Street, right? | ||
| And he has now declared war on any business that doesn't advertise on, or I should say that pulled out of X over this. | ||
| So to all the meme warriors out there, to the edgelords, to the posters, this is your call. | ||
| The banners have been called, the beacons have been lit! | ||
| Meme jihad on all of them. | ||
| I want all of you, sitting at home, in front of your computers, with paintbrush on your taskbar, pinned. | ||
| To crack that open and make the memes. | ||
| And when you post that meme, I want to imagine that you are Gandalf on top of that hill at the Battle of Helm's Deep with the Riders of Rohan storming in. | ||
| How did you know that I have it pinned? | ||
| I'm not even joking. | ||
| Paintbrush. | ||
| You know, I literally was hitting up my boy Still Boneless the other day because they changed MS Paint to like a new version. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And all the like original format is off. | ||
| And I was like, no, no, it's not working. | ||
| They're trying to thwart this. | ||
| They're trying to stop the meme. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They're trying to stop the meme war. | ||
| Preemptive strike. | ||
| So you can, you can, you can like down convert it and there's a way and Boneless figured it out. | ||
| So I mean, OG MS Paint is like, For making the memes. | ||
| All of the drawings of characters in the memes are drawn, you know, haphazardly through MS Paint. | ||
| We don't need improvements. | ||
| No. | ||
| Get out of here with that. | ||
| Like the original always has been the two astronauts meme. | ||
| That's very famously like a really crude MS Paint meme. | ||
| Like the original, original one. | ||
| This was my pitch to Elon, and he's like, sort of there. | ||
| I was saying he should anti-advertise. | ||
| Perhaps it's as simple as what Jack is saying. | ||
| We should just start memeing all these companies and insulting them. | ||
| Meme jihad. | ||
| Yes? | ||
| Meme crusade? | ||
| Well, Davey's Vault, baby. | ||
| Look, Disney. | ||
| Who do they think they are? | ||
| Like, they made Mulan and thanked the security forces running the concentration camps, the Uyghur concentration camps in China, and they're gonna get on their high horse and insult X? | ||
| It's purely political. | ||
| Spare me your nonsense. | ||
| You don't care what Elon Musk said. | ||
| You're playing dirty games because you're crackpot weirdos, but I'll tell you this. | ||
| When Disney put out that statement about how they're losing, they mentioned their goals towards the environment and social change. | ||
| Quite literally, they're saying ESG has screwed us over and is costing all of you money. | ||
| Because at the end of the day, right, ESG only existed, this environmental sustainability government. | ||
| Scheme was it was all about a stock scheme, right? | ||
| It was never anything that had to do with making a good product So the idea was that if you had a good ESG score that you would score bigger capital with like Blackrock and Blackstone State Street, etc So they would come in and they would capitalize you and then your stock would go your stock would rise and then also you would just gain more access to more capital markets more American capital markets through that and And so again, Nick, you wanted a better score. | ||
| So this is your question. | ||
| Famously, by the way, they screwed over Elon Musk for Tesla because they gave them a low ESG score. | ||
| And he's like, I'm literally the only guy in the world who founded a company just to do electric cars. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How could this is the definition of ESG? | |
| Right. | ||
| And they got hit on diversity. | ||
| It's the definition of environmentally friendly. | ||
| I'm an African immigrant who started an electric car company. | ||
| What are What are you talking about? | ||
| How could I possibly have a negative score? | ||
| And they hit him on diversity because he had too many white males. | ||
| And so, he's declaring his internal jihad against it, but there's a lot of people now looking at it saying, | ||
| look, we realize that this has gone way too far because initially it was just supposed to get your score up | ||
| to help with the stock, but then it just slowly dominated those entire companies. | ||
| It dominated their entire workforce. | ||
| Obviously with Netflix, we know it's, it's turned into a meme. | ||
| It's turned into a meme with Netflix where they're kind of like leaning into it now and they're making like, like, like the general Hannibal is going to be black. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which is Denzel Washington. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| He's a great actor. | ||
| Like, we all love Denzel, right? | ||
| I don't think there's really any Denzel attractors out there, but... But the argument is that he's from Northern Africa, and even though it's Africa, he's not like a black African. | ||
| I don't have a big problem with Idris Elba playing... 007? | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| In Thor. | ||
| Oh, oh. | ||
| Uh, the watch guy, the guy with the eyes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nah. | |
| Yeah, I know who you're talking about. | ||
| No, me neither. | ||
| It's like an actual like yeah, I know you're Norse mythological God or whatever and I'm like I don't have that | ||
| I don't have a big issue with like anyone playing any mythological. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No me neither. Yeah But if it's like a historical figure historical figures are | |
| worse I will say, even with mythical stuff, like, there are lots of cultures that have myths. | ||
| Why don't we just have new ideas? | ||
| Why don't we do new things? | ||
| Like, this is what bothered me about the Little Mermaid thing, and Disney pays for this, right? | ||
| They decide that they don't see enough diversity, and rather than saying, like, well, what cultures do we want to see diversity from, and what stories can we steal from them? | ||
| Instead, they're like, Hans Christian Andersen, we're doing it again, except we've just changed the skin tones. | ||
| And that feels so cheap and gross that I think, ultimately, it's collapsing around them. | ||
| It's the same thing when they're making these Teenie Bopper remakes of stuff, you know, what was it? | ||
| They had one like on Robin Hood except it was going to be a girl and it said the inner city and ultimately I don't even know if it ever got made because people don't like it. | ||
| It's transparent, it's cheap, it doesn't engage them intellectually, it's not really a form of art, it's barely a form of entertainment. | ||
| But they're not just changing the skin tone, right? | ||
| I mean, if you're just changing skin tone, that's one thing. | ||
| But you're also not just swapping gender when you do that kind of thing. | ||
| What you're doing is taking stories that have meaning, that have a place in culture, and transforming them into something that is meaningless and empty and dead. | ||
| So you're taking living stories and living narratives and you're just killing them. | ||
| I mean, that was the thing about Snow White, right? | ||
| Is this real, Tim? | ||
| I just saw a tweet. | ||
| The New York Times just deleted the Dealbook Summit with Elon from their YouTube channel. | ||
| No shit! | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Oh, excuse me. | ||
| What happened? | ||
| It says, yeah, just before the show, so obviously what this clip is from. | ||
| I don't know how we track that. | ||
| If the video's not there, the video's not there. | ||
| How do we know it was ever there? | ||
| Maybe it has been archived? | ||
| No, but someone has a link back to it from New York Times, underneath the New York Times events. | ||
| There's stuff with Elon up. | ||
| No, no, the Elon stuff is up. | ||
| Oh, it's CNBC has clips of it. | ||
| Yeah, so I'm saying there's clips of it still out, but apparently the whole thing was being, according to the tweet from Adrien Ditman, they're saying the New York Times took down the full event from New York Times events. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| I'm going to stop right there. | ||
| You know what probably happens is when you can set live shows to not be public after they're done. | ||
| That may have just been the case. | ||
| This video has been removed by the uploader. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's what it would say. | ||
| I'm pretty sure that when you're setting a live stream, you can set them so that after they're done, they don't appear as videos on your channel. | ||
| And it would say it's removed. | ||
| It doesn't look like they have anything from Dealbook Summit up. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Like, the clips that were pulled, they were pulled while the show was still live. | ||
| I mean, yeah, you can't stop the clips. | ||
| Clips are out. | ||
| But why would you pull it? | ||
| I mean, I'm pretty sure they may have just made it to the show, went private as soon as it was done being live. | ||
| That's a common thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe? | |
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm just saying, before I say anything, I'd like to know for sure exactly what happened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| If it was, the livestream was done, and it was on their channel, and you could watch the archive, and now it's been deleted, that means they went and actually removed it. | ||
| I mean, they've got a bunch of other livestreams up. | ||
| But I don't know why they would even do that, because... Yeah, but what are they from? | ||
| One's from eight hours ago, one's from... Was it an event, or what is it? | ||
| Some are events, some are interviews, some are just different things. | ||
| Yeah, maybe, maybe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Perhaps that is the case. | ||
| Well, shall we talk about the war for your minds? | ||
| We got the story from Scanner at CNR.com. | ||
| Rumble files lawsuit against media watchdog group. | ||
| When anti-free speech zealots lie to inflict intentional economic harm on our company, we have no choice but to hold them accountable. | ||
| Video streaming platform Rumble has filed a federal defamation suit against two co-founders of a media watchdog group. | ||
| I don't think it's fair to call them a media watchdog group. | ||
| That's their language. | ||
| Who wrote this story? | ||
| This is Chris Bartman. | ||
| Chris Bartman. | ||
| See, he's doing the right thing in trying to be honest and fair in labeling the group what you would assume them to be. | ||
| If you understand what this group does, I would not call them a media watchdog group. | ||
| I wouldn't either. | ||
| Yeah, lying about people and trying to engage in tortious interference is not media watchdog. | ||
| Maybe leftist or liberal political activism is probably fair to say, but just real quick to get to the opening context here. | ||
| Rumble is suing these individuals because they claimed that Rumble receives 90% of its funding through Google ads or something to that effect and that's not true. | ||
| Rumble says this is completely false and they actually told them this is not true and it's damaging to their brand because Rumble Their business is, we are independent from big tech. | ||
| So they said, they know it's not true, they won't take it down, we're suing them for defamation. | ||
| Which means, either these people knowingly posted lies, and considering they've been informed it's not true, that it seems that may be the case, or they have just reckless disregard for the truth. | ||
| But these groups, these individuals, have gone after Steve Bannon, Charlie Kirk, I'm pretty sure they go after you, right Jack? | ||
| Well, they go after post-mortem human events. | ||
| They sure do. | ||
| Do they have you listed as their insurrectionists? | ||
| I'm on the list. | ||
| I'd have to look. | ||
| They came after us because of our work with Andy. | ||
| It's usually about Andy. | ||
| Yeah, they basically got Antifa to go after our advertisers and take us down. | ||
| Oh, no, you didn't make the list. | ||
| Sorry, Jack. | ||
| It's Dan Bongino, Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson. | ||
| We got Glenn Beck, Steve Bannon, and me. | ||
| I reached out at one point. | ||
| And I don't even know why I'm on there! | ||
| Wait, scroll down a little bit. | ||
| It's just, it's wild. | ||
| What are you looking for? | ||
| Well, because it's talking about the January 5th show of War Room, because I was sitting next to Steve on that show. | ||
| He didn't make the cut! | ||
| I'm like, why am I on this list? | ||
| I will try harder during the next insurrection, I promise. | ||
| They argue that I'm one of the biggest proponents of the big lie. | ||
| And the big lie is defined as Donald Trump claiming he actually won 2020. | ||
| And I've always maintained that... I've never heard you say that. | ||
| I argued with Bannon that no! | ||
| Like twice! | ||
| So, uh... Like, you guys went at it in the third hour, too. | ||
| Yeah, my position was like, dude, people keep saying Biden can't get 85 million votes, and I'm like, you're correct. | ||
| Trump got anti-vote. | ||
| Like, people weren't voting for Biden. | ||
| Don't think that. | ||
| But I think what we saw was procedural... But they were issued those ballots. | ||
| I don't know about that. | ||
| What I will say is, if you operate under the assumption that fraud is the reason you lost, you'll lose again. | ||
| If you operate under the assumption that Democrats were changing rules in ways that greatly benefited them, and they did, you will win. | ||
| For one, we saw in Georgia, Republicans lost the Senate race because there were people who were like, what's the point of voting anyway? | ||
| They're gonna steal it. | ||
| No, no, we can't have that mentality. | ||
| But anyway, without getting into all that stuff, because we don't need to, The fact that they are arguing I made these claims. | ||
| Now you totally get why they're being sued by Rumble, okay? | ||
| This is not a media watchdog group. | ||
| They're outright lying! | ||
| I actually reached out to one of the board members in 2021 when they were targeting Post Millennial and we were losing ad revenue and it was not a pleasant moment. | ||
| You actually lost ad revenue? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because of them? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| How? | ||
| Because they went after our advertisers and our advertisers refused to advertise on the platform. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Because if an advertiser sees that this is valid, they present themselves as... I asked them about it. | ||
| I asked one of the board members about it directly and she responded and she said, As to advertisers being intimidated into dropping you, advertisers are not so easily scared. | ||
| If they drop you, it seems worthwhile to look at why and make your choices about what or what not to do about it. | ||
| And she later said, you know, Keep your eye on the prize. | ||
| What is so important is to consider why would an advertiser drop a publisher they think worthy of support they wouldn't. | ||
| So she ended up saying, you know, basically that publishers make these decisions and the people who, where they advertise, like post-millennial, should make different decisions in order to keep the advertisers. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So it is an intimidation thing. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| I mean, if they admitted it, and they also said in part that their goal is to destroy the ad tech business entirely. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, if they are not open about what their political leanings are, then, or even if they are, they can still be accepted as a mainstream reference, right? | ||
| You'll have things all the time that are saying, Oh, you're on the SPLC's list of whatever, and so we can't trust your opinion. | ||
| You're on this group's thing, so we can't advertise with you. | ||
| These lists are created so that they become taken as, you know, as gospel. | ||
| Never trust any, you know, conservative that doesn't get ended up on one of these lists or doesn't get attacked by any of these people. | ||
| I want to ever trust them. | ||
| I want to pull up this post from them so you can understand this is what Rumble is doing. | ||
| They tweeted, in case you're wondering where Tim Poole's been. | ||
| Right-wing podcaster Tim Poole isn't selling ads anymore after a successful Check My Ads campaign. | ||
| He's selling dot dot dot coffee, and we found out who makes the beans. | ||
| Uh, here's the thing. | ||
| We, we, we are, we are selling ads. | ||
| We have, we've never lost a sponsor. | ||
| Uh, we have all our sponsors still. | ||
| We, we literally just recorded several ads, what, on, on, what day is it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wednesday? | |
| On Monday. | ||
| On Monday, I'm like, everyone get out, we're recording ads for the same sponsors. | ||
| We just finalized another six-figure sponsorship deal. | ||
| They're outright lying and using the lies to make money, to convince people to donate. | ||
| Wait, so, because I remember seeing that when they posted that, or, you know, you were tweeting at them or something, and then I went back and was thinking, like, so sometimes if I don't catch the show live, I'll go back and listen on the podcast side, and I'm like, they're all there, like, you can hear it, it's totally normal, and it's been that way for, I don't know, years at this point? | ||
| So, We've been doing mostly over the past few months direct reads for Casper Coffee, obviously, because we're building up our own company, which is probably going to crack over a million dollars in revenue in its first year. | ||
| So in a conspiracy to profit, you've created a company and you're using your other company to leverage that new company. | ||
| I mean, this is the most nefarious thing I've ever heard. | ||
| So, currently, we have our same ad sales rep. | ||
| We used to do more live reads during the show, now it's all just the recorded. | ||
| So, if you guys listen on the podcast, you'll get the recorded ads where it's like, better help, and the sponsors are all still there, and we actually do really well. | ||
| Like, substantially. | ||
| They're outright fabricating this, and I will add, The only reason we've not done live reads specifically, despite the fact we still have all these sponsors asking us when we will, is because we're trying to promote as much as possible Casprew, but we actually did a deal for some live reads on the show again! | ||
| You see how they use deceptive language? | ||
| First of all, they said, I'm not selling ads anymore. | ||
| Totally false. | ||
| We're absolutely selling ads. | ||
| We still have all the same sponsors. | ||
| And we just finalized a six-figure deal with a new sponsor. | ||
| So that is factually incorrect. | ||
| It is absolutely false. | ||
| And they say, after a successful Check My Ads campaign. | ||
| Is that fraud? | ||
| I feel like it is. | ||
| It doesn't make sense to me also because, I mean, did they get in contact? | ||
| Where did they find out that you weren't selling ads? | ||
| Obviously, if they had done any kind of research, that would have been false. | ||
| They could contact our ad sales people. | ||
| They sort of were like, oh, Tim's not talking about something, so we've decided. | ||
| It doesn't make any sense. | ||
| How are they monetized? | ||
| They take donations. | ||
| So they're C3? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| If you listen to the audio podcast, there's, I think, 10 ads Like, from a ton of different sponsors. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And they're fundraising off the lie that we don't- Some of it's you, some of it's inserts, some of it's like donuts, all different things. | ||
| It seems weird. | ||
| Donuts is a style of ad, folks. | ||
| He's not actually advertising donuts. | ||
| It's when they send you part of an ad, and then you insert something, and then you know... Yeah, so here's the way it works. | ||
| Some ad sales are like, hey, we have an ad, we want to run it on your show. | ||
| It's like, all right, great. | ||
| We have an ad company, we have a management company that handles that. | ||
| We just choose where on the show to put it. | ||
| And then a few of our sponsors, our bigger sponsors, they say, we want Tim Pool to read this personally. | ||
| We say, you got it. | ||
| And that costs, obviously, a little bit more. | ||
| And then, for this show, we actually have all of our sponsors. | ||
| We used to do reads for, like, Virtual Shield, there's SafeAndReadyMeals.com, there's, uh, what else do we have? | ||
| The, like, protein energy thing. | ||
| Oh, right, we got the collagen, we have the camping gear and stuff. | ||
| Yeah, all of these sponsors are still there. | ||
| And we've actually been, I've been talking to the ad sales guy about end of the year sales to bring them back in because I'm like, look, we've been doing Casper this whole time. | ||
| Anyway, I digress. | ||
| I digress. | ||
| Yeah, because usually my contracts run like, so it's like January to January. | ||
| So at this point, we're going into, really? | ||
| Yeah, every month we renegotiate and that I like it better because I'm like, look, you know, we had a great month. | ||
| This month's gonna be bigger. | ||
| We want more money. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, well, I shouldn't say all, most. | ||
| My ad guy just sent me like a December pitch and I said, yes. | ||
| And they're like, this is insane. | ||
| It's just absolutely insane that these groups lie. | ||
| Look, I guess they have success in some areas, like you guys were losing money. | ||
| I'm like, what are they talking about? | ||
| I never promoted the big lie, I never claimed Trump won, and we still sell ads. | ||
| Yo, this is wild. | ||
| I don't know, man, like, do I have to pursue some kind of criminal charge, like fraud charges against them? | ||
| Because I guess what you'd have to do is find someone who donated to them. | ||
| Because they believed this organization had negatively impacted our business, they also have a tweet up claiming that our website's demonetized. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Which, it's literally not! | |
| It's crazy! | ||
| You know what man, whatever though. | ||
| But Rumble's suing them, because they're doing the same thing. | ||
| They claim that Rumble is operating off Google Ads, and Rumble's like, no we aren't! | ||
| In fact, I will add, well I shouldn't say too much, but what I can say is, Rumble has their own ads, that appear on Rumble. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wild. | |
| This is what these activists do. | ||
| They claim to be an organization that fights disinformation, but literally all they do is manufacture it. | ||
| Also, they're a not-for-profit. | ||
| Their 501c3 status is pending. | ||
| And I just wonder what is so charitable about this organization that tax dollars should be going to this group? | ||
| Right. | ||
| I mean, the tax dollars don't go to it. | ||
| They just don't pay taxes. | ||
| They just don't pay taxes on it. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| They're just claiming that they're doing a public service by, you know, telling you what's going on and the public has more information this way. | ||
| You know, they'll get their 501c3 status because ultimately the people who give to them are the same people who give to the political leaders who are in charge right now. | ||
| I mean, they see it as a benefit to their own mission. | ||
| And that's why they can send you emails being like, well, if you were better at publishing better stuff, then your advertisers wouldn't pull out. | ||
| It's not that we bullied them. | ||
| It's just we decided that you were an unwanted organization and told them that. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| It feels very dystopian to me. | ||
| Like, listen- Maybe it grants individual donations. | ||
| The company does? | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I'm looking up their filings. | ||
| That was the weird thing about hearing Elon Musk talk, which is that he's saying, you know, the advertisers believe they can ultimately get me to do what they want. | ||
| Even, even sort of opening up with, well, you're sort of on this apology tour. | ||
| And I felt like I could watch Elon Musk's tense and be like, I'm absolutely not on an apology tour. | ||
| I am not going to admit that you guys or admit wrongdoing. | ||
| Isn't that wrongdoing? | ||
| Or just partake in this manipulation of what you want? | ||
| And I think the weird thing is that ultimately, advertisers need the eyes, and the eyes are gonna stay on Twitter, meaning that the users are staying on Twitter, even if the advertisers pull off, right? | ||
| Like, the engagement on Twitter didn't dip because the advertisements went away. | ||
| Ultimately, to me, it seems like someone else will rise up and take those spots back. | ||
| Or they'll come back, because that's where the crowd is. | ||
| Wild. | ||
| This is what we're up against. | ||
| Well, and Texas is, the Texas AG is suing Media Matters. | ||
| He is suing? | ||
| He's investigating. | ||
| He's investigating Media Matters. | ||
| So in Texas, they can't bring, their AG is situated a little bit differently, like he has to pass off a criminal case to someone else. | ||
| They can't bring themselves, like you can in some states, same with civil. | ||
| And so Missouri was a huge one because they're able to bring direct action. | ||
| But it's just a great example, right? | ||
| So, look at the Trump cases that are going on right now, from the left. | ||
| You've got the Attorney General of New York finding any pretext to go after him. | ||
| Literally any pretext to go after him, his company, his family, even things that didn't even happen in her state, she's finding a way to make it happen. | ||
| You see this with Fannie Willis, you see this again and again. One of the best, from | ||
| his perspective, one of the most strategic and most efficient uses of money that George Soros ever did | ||
| was in funding all of these people. | ||
| Because for a couple million bucks here and there, you compare that to like the Coke industry, | ||
| the Coke brothers who spent billions just drowning our country down the tubes. | ||
| And now they want to throw all this money behind Nikki Haley. | ||
| And you compare that to just a couple of million bucks that George Soros spent in key targeted races, whereby he's now able to have the President of the United States arrested, he's able to have the frontrunner for the Republican nomination be put under a series of trials, So all of this is going on. | ||
| Meanwhile, Republicans will sit back and go, oh, we can't do anything like that. | ||
| That's not fair. | ||
| You know, you've got all of these organizations. | ||
| Look what they did to the NRA. | ||
| Look what Letitia James did to the NRA and just completely castrated them in front of everyone. | ||
| Sure, they still exist on paper, but they're so much more castrated than they've ever been in terms of the 2A fight right now. | ||
| At a time where, you know, just to be frank about it, you know, the Republican Party needs single-issue voters. | ||
| Look at how the Democrats are utilizing single-issue voters when it comes to abortion and turning that into a massive ballot harvesting operation. | ||
| The NRA could be doing that if they existed or had any serious operations right now. | ||
| Just doesn't exist after what Letitia James did. | ||
| And Republicans will sit there and say, oh, that's not fair. | ||
| Meanwhile, Democrats are saying, let's strip Trump off the ballot. | ||
| Let's find any way that we can destroy you guys and keep pressing the advantage, because again, Democrats know how to use government power, they will use government power, and Republicans are terrified. | ||
| So I threw out there, and not to get into like the primary stuff, if you want to. | ||
| We're about to actually. | ||
| I threw out there that a guy like Ron DeSantis would never even Like he would be physically terrified to utter the words, I'm going to have Joe Biden stripped from the ballot in Florida. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And you know, he has full power in the state super legislature. | ||
| You know, he could easily file a charge from his campaign saying that Biden is ineligible and you find pretext under the fact that he, that he took bribery from China, which is an impeachable offense. | ||
| And he could say, therefore you are not eligible to run for president under the constitution. | ||
| And you could file that lawsuit. | ||
| And this guy, he would be terrified to do that because, and you can say it's not the stones, not the backbone, whatever. | ||
| It's just, no, he is a pedantic rule follower. | ||
| He's terrified of actually standing up for himself and fighting back. | ||
| And it's why, like, he'll go on Lara Ingram and can't even, you know, can't even name Ronna McDaniel and say, oh, I'm, you know, terrified to do this. | ||
| You could see Lara, like, rolling her eyes at him. | ||
| And my point is that it's not even an anti-DeSantis thing. | ||
| It's just that there's a lot of Republicans like this. | ||
| They are terrified to actually use government power. | ||
| Well, let's jump to this story from the Daily Mail. | ||
| You know what this means. | ||
| Exclusive. | ||
| U.S. | ||
| military is seeing UFOs in space, official report says. | ||
| And that can only mean one thing. | ||
| Hunter Biden was caught with weird money laundering again. | ||
| Fox News reports money laundering investigator warned of Hunter Biden's unusual erratic payments from China in 2018. | ||
| The bank investigator raised concerns about money that ultimately funded the $40,000 payment to Joe Biden, Comer says. | ||
| So, uh, Of course there's a big UFO story coming out on the same day that there is a mysterious Chinese payment to Hunter Biden in the news. | ||
| Surprise, surprise. | ||
| And it looks like Fox News' website is completely broken. | ||
| The best part about this story was that the bankers that flagged the payments said that there was no obvious services rendered. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| What are they paying for? | ||
| Do you think that UFO people are sad that the thing they love and are passionate about has been ruined by the Biden administration? | ||
| No. | ||
| I think they must be, right? | ||
| I think they're just stoked that people are talking about UFOs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, hold on, hold on, hold on. | |
| There was a Tucker show about it. | ||
| No, no, the UFO people turned on Fox News, and they reported Hunter Biden, and they immediately called their friends and said, we got UFO news coming! | ||
| You're like, brace yourselves, it's about to happen. | ||
| Maybe that's good. | ||
| Hunter Biden's in the news. | ||
| Because I was thinking, if you're a UFO person, you're like, the Biden administration is just releasing all kinds of fake information under the guise of UFOs to distract from Hunter. | ||
| But maybe the information they're releasing is legitimate. | ||
| And that way, you can really distract people. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like, are they making stuff up to cover up Hunter's crime? | ||
| They're stretching nonsense. | ||
| They have these minor reports where it's like a guysaw thing. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| And now they're like, look over here! | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| In an email released from the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, a Bank Secrecy Act manager raised concerns the payments did not appear to correspond to any services rendered, as well as Chinese efforts to target children of politicians. | ||
| The investigator suggested the bank re-evaluate its relationship with the client. | ||
| So you had private sector concerns that homeboy over here was taking dirty money from foreign governments. | ||
| Well, here we are, ladies and gentlemen, with new UFO news breaking as we speak. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| I want to explain something to everybody. | ||
| How money and finance works. | ||
| You know, they talk about Donald Trump hiring his family and his kids and all that stuff, and I'm like, yeah, it's not an easy thing to do. | ||
| If you own a business, and let's say, let's say you own a car dealership. | ||
| You're pulling in a million bucks a month. | ||
| That's like a good amount for a car dealership. | ||
| Now I'm not saying profit. | ||
| That's your revenue. | ||
| And so you got some, you got a good, let's say you got a good profit margin. | ||
| You think, I'm going to hire my son and I'm going to pay him six figures. | ||
| Good luck. | ||
| You need a clearly defined job, a job title, a legitimate job title, a recognizable job title, with clearly defined hours and structure, because what's gonna happen is, government's gonna come for you and say, what does your son do? | ||
| Why are you giving your son this salary? | ||
| We have questions. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Let's say you as an individual make a million bucks a year. | ||
| You're in the highest tax bracket possible, so you're giving like half of your paycheck to the government. | ||
| Let's say you get a paycheck for $10,000. | ||
| Cut that in half, give the government $5,000. | ||
| That's how it works. | ||
| Let's say you decide to hire your son and pay him $5,000 a month. | ||
| Well, now you've cut your cash in half. | ||
| For your $5,000, you're still cutting that in half. | ||
| Now the government's only getting $25,000. | ||
| Your son, who only makes $100,000, is in a lower tax bracket. | ||
| Now the government's not getting that $5,000 they thought every month. | ||
| They're getting only like $35,000 or $34,000. | ||
| This is why you cannot just give money to your family and your kids unless you have outlined clearly in the documents, in your corporate paperwork, and all of that stuff. | ||
| It is not... I don't want to act like it's a difficult thing. | ||
| I'm just saying... | ||
| If there's no clear services rendered, it is not surprising that the bank staff guy was like, uh, we should re-evaluate working with this guy, because that clearly is going to put them in, like, this bank is probably like, we're going to get, they're going to file discovery on us, we're going to get investigated. | ||
| This guy's clearly got illegitimate dealings going on, we can clearly see it. | ||
| So he's required to look for that under federal law, there's all sorts, this is a huge thing. | ||
| And this is exactly why. | ||
| So, it is not so easy in business just to have money and give money away. | ||
| First of all, you can't give money away. | ||
| There's limits. | ||
| There's tax, there's gift limits per year plus lifetime gift limits. | ||
| If you hire family members and they don't have clearly defined titles that are recognizable, and they're not being paid a market competitive salary, they are going to come after you. | ||
|

|
It's wild. | |
| You know, look, you start a business, and all of a sudden you're a Republican. | ||
| That's what they say, right? | ||
| And the reason why these Democrats don't understand, they think it's because of taxes. | ||
| I'm like, it's not just that. | ||
| It's like, you might want to pay someone a premium, and now you've got to argue why you're paying someone a premium. | ||
| Oh, this guy's really, really good at his job, he should get paid more. | ||
| And then they're like, you're paying him 40% above market, why? | ||
| We want to know why that money's going to him and not to us. | ||
| That's the kind of stuff they could go after you whenever they feel like it. | ||
| I don't want to do the whole, you know, conservative, imagine if the shoe was on the other foot thing, but I should point out that Donald Trump is currently on trial for fraud in New York State. | ||
| And none of the banks filed any reports like this whatsoever. | ||
| No, they're defending it. | ||
| They've all defended him. | ||
| In fact, it's been the exact opposite. | ||
| And they defended him because they paid back with profit. | ||
| And that's why the banks were willing to continue to do this. | ||
| And yet we have another situation here where the banks were raising red flags, were filing potential fraud reports, and nothing seems to happen. | ||
| Well, they're not supposed to be mad about the Bidens. | ||
| You're only supposed to be mad about the Trumps. | ||
| The Bidens are allowed to do whatever they want. | ||
| This is the three-tier system of justice, right? | ||
| And I heard you quote this the other day, that it's the three tiers, and I keep saying this over and over. | ||
| So it used to be two, now it's three, right? | ||
| So tier one, that's the elites. | ||
| That's Hillary. | ||
| If your last name is Obama, Clinton, Biden, Epstein at one point, you are fine, right? | ||
| Well, until you're a loose end, like Chauvin, for example. | ||
| He's a loose end, so got to get rid of him. | ||
| So he was never in their club. | ||
| That's no, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
| But I just mean loose ends. | ||
| Um, that, that, you know, that's tier one. | ||
| You'll, you can do whatever you want for the most part. | ||
| Um, then tier two. | ||
| So tier two, this is like, this is like normal, you know, you get pulled over for speeding, that kind of thing. | ||
| That's your normie kind of law. | ||
| That's your normal stuff. | ||
| And then tier three is Trump and Trump supporters. | ||
| And Trump and Trump supporters have a whole extra set of laws that you know, you know, okay, maybe you were just walking through the Capitol on your way out of the Capitol means you get beat in the back with a baton by the police, even as you're complying with their orders, or how about your your Married couple who shows up an hour and a half after people have already were already leaving you have no idea what's going on There's no signs. | ||
| There's no cops. | ||
| There's no barriers you walk up and look around and then leave and they accuse you of all of the same crimes and Sentence you to a year in jail that happened. | ||
| I met I met some of these people I met him at a restaurant and they said hour and a half after people had already left and all that was done they walk up and there's the building doors open and No barricades, no signs, nothing. | ||
| They're not anywhere near any of the fighting or broken glass and they walk up and they're looking around and they wave and then they say, okay, whatever, and then they leave. | ||
| And the next thing they know, six, seven months later, they're getting served for criminal charges for having just walked around in DC. | ||
| Shout out to Owen Troyer, who's currently behind bars, who didn't even go into the Capitol. | ||
| And was at a permitted rally. | ||
| But it doesn't matter. | ||
| But they just brought up all of his posts. | ||
| This is what they're saying. | ||
| You think the wrong thing, you say the wrong thing, you're in trouble, and we want you to be behind bars. | ||
| But I want to stress, in the three tiers of justice, a slight correction. | ||
| The first tier is, as you described, but the second tier is, you own a bodega, and a guy comes in and smashes everything, and the cops don't show up for any reason. | ||
| So that means you're in this no-man's land. | ||
| The laws aren't enforced against you, and they won't be enforced for you. | ||
| Then you have the bottom tier of being the Trump supporters and the MAGA people where you could be swatted 15 times in a year, ain't nobody gonna help you, and you fart in public and they're gonna lock you up. | ||
| So in the Russian Civil War, during the Bolshevik Revolution, when the Bolsheviks first got in power, the idea was, and Libby, we were chatting on this before we got here, and if you read Always with Honor by Pyotr Wrangel, who was the general that fought against the communists, I actually got to visit his grave in Belgrade a couple weeks ago. | ||
| It's just amazing. | ||
| It's right in this little alcove in a church. | ||
| It's not marked or anything before you go into the church, but everybody knows that that's General Wrangel. | ||
| And his estate is completely refused even now after the fall of the Soviet Union to have his body transferred back to Russia because that's where he wanted to go because that church specifically is dedicated to the Russian imperial family, the Romanovs. | ||
| Oh wow. | ||
| And that's from his perspective he was fighting for the rightful rulers of the country and as a patriot. | ||
| And so he said in this memoir that at one point that if you were a criminal who was caught with a knife, well, the criminal doesn't know any better. | ||
| He's responding to socioeconomic factors that are out of his control. | ||
| It's not his fault that he's lashing out this way. | ||
| Society has wronged him. | ||
| We must take care of him. | ||
| We must help him and put him back on the street. | ||
| But if you get caught with a knife, if you get caught with one, even if you haven't used it yet, now you're a criminal. | ||
| Now you're a domestic terrorist and you must be treated as an enemy of the state. | ||
| So a hundred years ago in Russia, this is exactly what they were doing. | ||
| Yeah, and also because I've been looking at the Gulag Archipelago, which I know a lot of people have been talking about lately, but Solzhenitsyn talks about when he was in prison at the Lubyanka, which I don't know how you spell that, but whatever, when he was in prison and he was being interrogated and everything. | ||
| He's built in Russia, by the way. | ||
| You spell it in Russian, yeah. | ||
| I would never do that right. | ||
| But he talked about how people would come in and they would be interrogated and they would mention a former colleague who maybe they had been friendly with and then the next thing they know that former colleague is getting dragged in and being interrogated and it's just this perpetual guilt by association even though there hasn't been any guilt at any point. | ||
| You know, Solzhenitsyn was dragged in while he was serving in the military and he was dragged in for, you know, crimes and it turned out that His biggest crime was that he had an old friend who was on the front lines of the opposing side, and they were sending each other letters. | ||
| They were, like, still friendly. | ||
| He was communicating with the enemy. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Do you think awareness of the multi-tiered justice system is strong enough to affect how people are going to vote? | ||
| Like, do you think that people who are on the fence have seen what's happened to the people involved in January 6 and will say so? | ||
| I hope so, but do you think? | ||
| It's not January 6. | ||
| A bodega worker got stabbed, or they were trying to kill him and he stabbed a guy and they lock him up. | ||
| There was a family, this was a big story, looters came in and just destroyed everything for no reason, and the family's life and savings were wiped out, they lost 20 grand in product. | ||
| Regular people are experiencing that. | ||
| Anarcho-tyranny. | ||
| Yeah, or like when you go to the store and you can't buy anything without searching around for someone to unlock a cabinet, and there's nobody working, and it's just a self-checkout, and everyone's just getting high in the back. | ||
| My favorite is in Chicago, the Walgreens, where there's no products. | ||
| It's just little signs. | ||
| No, no, no, it's a big empty room with a terminal, and you walk up and type in what you want, and then after you pay, someone will walk out and carry the product to you. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| You know, that's sort of like how grocery stores used to be. | ||
| My great-grandfather had a grocery store in Brooklyn and it would be like he would be behind the counter and my great-grandmother and people would come in and say what they wanted and they would bring them the stuff. | ||
| You know what that is? | ||
| That's a form of rationing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's actually a form of rationing. | ||
| It sure is. | ||
| It's not just against shoplifting. | ||
| Soviet Union that, you know, Tanya will tell me that she remembers, not from when she was like a little older, but when she was younger, that if you wanted to go to the store, that you had to get your ration stamps. | ||
| And then you went to the store and you waited in line and you waited and you waited and you waited and you kept waiting. | ||
| And then eventually, if you had the specific stamp for, as you say, the item that you were looking for, then you handed it to the worker, then they would go into the back, then they would get it, then they would bring it out. | ||
| Because people don't understand that in Eastern Europe, in Russia, in Belarus, Ukraine, after the fall of the Soviet Union, it was a complete Wild Wild West free-for-all for almost a complete decade. | ||
| and crime and and like actual highway robbers like we say highway robbery but like actual highway bandits that was a huge thing you would get some of that stuff and some people would would you know gang up on you right on the outside so you had to go in in uh you know members when society collapses and you are inside of it um all sorts of horrible things happen i remember covering the freddie gray riots and it was like everybody knew everybody knew that at a certain time like it's all just going to go Have you ever had the Eastern European wafer cake? | ||
| Which kind? | ||
| Oh, like the full cake, the layers. | ||
| So it's wafer? | ||
| Yeah, all the time. | ||
| Sweetened condensed milk, layer, sweetened condensed milk. | ||
| And when I was in Ukraine, they told me, well, what happened was they had no flour. | ||
| You have nothing. | ||
| So what do you do? | ||
| When your guests are going to come over, you boil in condensed milk, and then you put a thin wafer, you pour some on it, you put another wafer on top, you pour another layer, and that's how you make a cake to have, but it's literally just condensed milk. | ||
| Yeah, Tonya's mom makes that for special occasions. | ||
| It's good though. | ||
| It's really good. | ||
| I know. | ||
| It's like all sugar. | ||
| But it's interesting, it's like something for special occasions that was an adaptation to the times that they were in, right? | ||
| I mean, I think about how many- You guys, Kissinger died. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Whoa! | ||
| He just passed in the chat here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Really? | ||
| He didn't pass in the chat, but they just mentioned it, so. | ||
| He was in our chat when he died? | ||
| I'm sorry, Hannah-Clare, I shouldn't have interrupted you. | ||
| Oh, I was just gonna say, I mean— Let's get it, ladies and gentlemen, huge news right now, 8.45 p.m. | ||
| breaking. | ||
| Henry Kissinger, who shaped world affairs under two presidents, dies at 100. | ||
| If we're on the Members Only show, I'd have a lot more to say, but we'll save it for the Members Only show. | ||
| I have a special, special statement for everybody when we start the Members Only show, but for now we'll keep it professional. | ||
| So, Jack, you were saying? | ||
| No, I was going to say there was an interview that he gave recently, you know, kind of on the heels of one of these summits where he was kind of You could tell that he was sort of like on the way out in the interview itself, and you could see him being very self-critical in this interview. | ||
| And, you know, let's keep in mind that for all of his work during the Cold War, this was also a guy who was one of the main architects of globalism and the current system of that globalism. | ||
| And, you know, he came out and basically said, you know, maybe we got it wrong. | ||
| And maybe we shouldn't have pushed for all of this open border stuff. | ||
| Maybe we shouldn't have pushed for this migration stuff. | ||
| Maybe we should have realized that countries do have security concerns and the John Mearsheimers of the world. | ||
| He didn't say all this, but it's clearly what he was he was referring to, because you could see that he was reflecting, I think. | ||
| And I remember I was in I was at Davos where in 2022 where Kissinger came up and gave this huge speech blaming the blaming NATO for the NATO expansion on the war in Ukraine. | ||
| And it was suddenly like wait Kissinger of all people is coming out saying these things and it's almost like, you know, it's like towards the end as he can see the light fading, you know him kind of going back and maybe re-examining some of his steps and realizing that they Probably weren't the best moves. | ||
| You know the meme where it's Death playing the crane game? | ||
| The first thing that popped in my head. | ||
| And he keeps going. | ||
| Literally the first thing that popped in my head. | ||
| You know, he's like, Norm Macdonald, is Henry Kissinger even in this thing? | ||
| Well, now someone can finally make it of him just going, Kissinger! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Got him. | |
| That's it. | ||
| So what do you think Norm's gonna say to Kissinger when they meet? | ||
| Dude, I can't believe it. | ||
| This guy was so evil, man. | ||
| Henry Kissinger, a scholar, a statesman, and celebrity diplomat who wielded unparalleled power over U.S. | ||
| foreign policy throughout the administrations of Nixon and Gerald Ford, who for decades afterward, and a consultant and writer, proffered opinions that shaped global politics and business, died November 29th at his home in Connecticut. | ||
| He was 100. | ||
| Look, I never liked celebrating death. | ||
| You know, people dying is always bad. | ||
| I wish he wasn't such a nasty, nasty guy. | ||
| I can say, however, regardless of however you feel about it, the world will be better off, unfortunately. | ||
| I'm trying to be very nice, but there's just some people I cannot... | ||
| He's a bad guy. | ||
| He's a very, very bad guy. | ||
| He's got quotes that will make you throw up, this dude. | ||
| There's this article from Indy 100 that says the Is Henry Kissinger Dead Twitter account is tired of waiting for him to die. | ||
| This is from 2022. | ||
| And they were like, we didn't think this would be such a long-term commitment, which I think is kind of funny. | ||
| I think there were a lot of people who were not expecting this, but I don't know. | ||
| Here it is. | ||
| He's an architect for so much foreign policy garbage, foreign intervention, nation building, disgusting racist comments. | ||
| 10 minutes ago. Yes. Well already up to 12,000 retweets. I've been doing it for two years. That's wild. Wow | ||
| He's an architect for so much foreign policy garbage foreign intervention nation building disgusting racist | ||
| comments I mean this dude is just I | ||
| could not imagine that You know when I look at these serial killers and these | ||
| really evil nasty people who do really evil things I'm like, yeah, that's there's real evil in this world | ||
| When I look at Kissinger, I'm like, but he was smarter about how he went about the awful things he did so he could maintain power while he did it. | ||
| Look, I mean, so you got a guy who came up with and executed the theory of Rappaport's Monde. | ||
| With communist China with Chairman Mao, right? | ||
| So he flies it because remember people don't realize is that oh somebody people know something. | ||
| Yeah, there's the name finally. | ||
| So people know that Nixon went over to, you know, kind of open up China and Nixon goes to China and this is what peels China away from the Soviet Union and eventually leads to You know, winning the war. | ||
| Well, Kissinger not only was the architect, Kissinger actually went there first and met with Joe Unlai in a secret trip that nobody knew about to kind of pave the way for Nixon going there. | ||
| And so, you know, Tim, to your point, you know, it takes a very cold, you know, like, Just an emotional, unfeeling mind to come up with the idea of, yeah, I'm going to sit down with Chairman Mao, probably one of the most murderous men to ever walk the face of the earth, but it's going to help us politically. | ||
| Geopolitically. | ||
| We are just chickens to lay eggs for them to harvest. | ||
| So they're not thinking about you and your family, the pain and suffering you go through. | ||
| They don't care about what happens to your friends who died mysteriously in their sleep. | ||
| They don't want to answer any of those questions and they don't care. | ||
| That's why these people are disgusting and evil. | ||
| These are the sociopaths who fight for political power, gain political power, and this is the corruption we need to weed out of our government, and we can. | ||
| We can do it, and I think we're winning, and I'm happy to see it. | ||
| Every day there are more and more victories, and every day there are more and more signs that we're headed towards something better. | ||
| So I'm glad. | ||
| Again, I don't like ever, no matter who it is, having a celebration of some death. | ||
| Because the reality is the dude should have been a better person. | ||
| You know, life is precious, even someone as awful as him. | ||
| But you have to recognize sometimes there are people that cause too much destruction. | ||
| And so at the very least we can be like, well, I'm not going to cheer for his death, but I am going to be like, the world is going to be better off without his foreign policy ideas and all that. | ||
| Yeah, but the legacy of anything is still there, right? | ||
| Even if he's dead, the impact of the decision he made will still feel. | ||
| It's true, but I'm hoping we get a good Trumpian statement where he was like, sad day hearing Henry Kissinger died. | ||
| He was a great man who did atrocious things and evil and, you know. | ||
| And he never supported, well knowing Trump it would be like, and he never supported me. | ||
| He never once came in, you know. | ||
| And my favorite all time one of Trump responding to someone's death, which of course, obviously the RBG one is now just, it has become its own thing. | ||
| It's actually overshadowed anything that Ruth Bader Ginsburg did in her entire life is Trump's reaction to the news of her death. | ||
| And but there's the right after Trump got elected and Tim, as you say, sort of the the psychic energy, you know, as Jung called it, the the the the world spirit, you know, this this idea that that, you know, the What's the, what's the phrase? | ||
| The unconscious, the collective unconscious. | ||
| That he is, my fourth show of the day, that when Trump is, right after he was elected, before he was inaugurated, Castro dies. | ||
| And then everyone's, you know, coming to him like, Oh, Mr, you know, President, Mr. President elect, Castro is dead. | ||
| He's, he's passed away. | ||
| Finally. | ||
| It's like, I want to come up with a Formal statement and, you know, put out something, you know, very magnanimous as the president. | ||
| And Trump just picks up Twitter and goes, Fidel Castro is dead! | ||
| I was going to ask, wasn't Kissinger just in China recently? | ||
| I feel like he was just on the news a couple days ago. | ||
| How could he possibly be in China? | ||
| He's a hundred years old! | ||
| Yeah, there was something about him I read. | ||
| Just his ghost is there? | ||
| Does anyone remember? | ||
| I'll look it up. | ||
| I don't recall. | ||
| He could have been at the ASEAN summit. | ||
| Oh, ASEAN, yeah, that's right. | ||
| Which was in San Francisco. | ||
| I saw that he was in China. | ||
| I don't remember what it was exactly, but he had something to do with... He traveled back and forth. | ||
| So he set up a farm policy shop. | ||
| Obviously he did a lot. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That was very... July 22nd, 2023. | ||
| I forget what it was, but I saw in the news a while ago. | ||
| I don't remember what it was. | ||
| He's been going back and forth to China ever since. | ||
| Yeah, for a long time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He was first and he kept doing it over and over and over. | ||
| And so, I mean, if you want to talk about someone who's been You know, just just at the forefront of the US China relationship since it began in the modern era with with Chairman Mao and the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| That's that's Henry Kissinger. | ||
| And, you know, obviously someone who, you know, and I'm going to be actually flying to Japan tomorrow. | ||
| So I'm speaking at CPAC Tokyo. | ||
| On Saturday. | ||
| So, you know, I'm sure this will be kind of cast a, you know, a different angle on a lot of the topics that we discussed because, you know, when we're really looking at the system that we have now, the relationships, even the, the multilateral alliances that the United States has in East Asia, the security alliances, you know, it really was Kissinger who played a huge part in setting this all up. | ||
| I just messaged Cassandra. | ||
| She was like, what's going on? | ||
| What did I miss? | ||
| The people who hate war are like, wow. | ||
| Well, I, you know, trying to be very professional. | ||
| The people who hate war are probably jumping up and down and dancing on their tables right now. | ||
| Why? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I heard the reverse thing. | |
| The tankies are like war. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The tankies went like full. | ||
| All right. | ||
| It's past nine. | ||
| The boys probably tankies are like fully orgasmic right now. | ||
| Fully. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fully. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| That's wild, man. | ||
| You know, seeing Trump win was, we were talking about this earlier actually, what everybody remembers the day, everyone remembers where they were when Trump won. | ||
| It was wild, right? | ||
| We were talking about that. | ||
| Yeah, everybody was crying. | ||
| I was hanging out with Cassandra and Cassandra was crying, but she was crying for a different reason. | ||
| She was crying tears of joy. | ||
| Everyone else in the room was like sitting there covered in sweat and a bunch of them were legit bawling. | ||
| It was wild for me to see. | ||
| Adults cry over an election like this. | ||
| I thought I was laughing I mean cuz the thing too is it's like we've been through a number of elections and it's like okay now We have a different president. | ||
| I wonder how this one's gonna go Yeah, you know I remember talking to people in the theater community at the time and everyone was miserable and they were crying and they were sad and they thought it was literally the end of the world and I was like, well, why don't we wait and see what he does and You know, anything's possible. | ||
| Like anything's but yeah, but they're all bad. | ||
| I mean, that's a thing. | ||
| But there was a specific like fear and hatred like Clinton was bad. | ||
| Bush was bad. | ||
| I mean, this is like what I remember. | ||
| I think I was living. | ||
| No, I wasn't living when I was still in Texas when Trump got elected. | ||
| And so there were people I was in college and there were people who were so excited. | ||
| I remember one of the fraternities got in trouble for hanging a, like, Trump 2016 banner out of their door. | ||
| They had to, like, take it down and get a fine or something. | ||
| Then there was, like, all of these different, like, you know, social justice organizations being like, we stand together, they will not divide us, whatever. | ||
| They were allowed to do whatever they wanted. | ||
| I mean, there was a complete divide and hysteria because it was totally built on the emotions of these people who felt as though their lives personally were threatened, as if Donald Trump would come down their chimney and I don't know that there is anyone who was afraid of Trump in 2016 who had accurate information. | ||
| I mean, I was up in New York. | ||
| I was at the party. | ||
| That was pretty baller. | ||
| That was definitely one of the best nights. | ||
| I was at the Sputnik office. | ||
| Cause that's where Cassandra had worked. | ||
| And they kept saying that Russia was supporting Trump. | ||
| And I'm like, dude, everybody in this building was for Hillary. | ||
| And when Trump won, they were losing it. | ||
| It was wild that night. | ||
| I just never forget when the New York Times had that probability meter that was like 90, greater than 99% for Hillary. | ||
| And it slowly started to move. | ||
| I remember when it hit 50% and people started being like, no, no. | ||
| Cassandra's sitting there like, oh my God, oh my God. | ||
| And then I remember when it was greater than 99 for Trump and there was a lot of crying, but Cassandra was the only one crying tears of joy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I remember watching it at like, whatever, after midnight and it was like, some Democrat I knew was being like, well, but Pennsylvania, maybe! | ||
| And everyone else is like, no, it's over. | ||
| Like, it's over. | ||
| So that night, that day, I had been working and doing live streams all around Philadelphia and actually ran into James O'Keefe at one point. | ||
| Like a funny story about that, maybe we'll reveal it sometime. | ||
| Now, do it now. | ||
| Well, I'd want to talk to James first. | ||
| If it's so funny, just tell us live right now. | ||
| Well, because he was in the middle of doing one of those things, so I don't want to break his OPSEC, so I'm not going to do that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm a middle child, what can I say? | |
| We realized that, I remember I was driving around looking for the different, so like the after work rush in Philly. | ||
| So that was when you would really get your major Philadelphia vote out, would always come in the after work rush. | ||
| Usually when people vote on election day you get, you know, it comes in three tranches. | ||
| This is before, this is like when we actually had like real elections. | ||
| Right. | ||
| What a quaint time. | ||
| The crazy gaga that we have now that we call an election, which is really just a ballot counting exercise. | ||
| And in Philly you're pulling the levers. | ||
| Yeah, so this is, you know, early morning, so pre-work, then lunchtime, then there's a huge dead time, and then there's the after work rush. | ||
| The after work rush never came. | ||
| I went to North Philly. | ||
| I went to West Philly. | ||
| I went to South Philly. | ||
| Just never happened. | ||
| And I said, Philadelphia doesn't have a rush. | ||
| Trump's going to win Pennsylvania. | ||
| Trump wins Pennsylvania, he's going to be the president. | ||
| So I drove to 38th Street Station, bought a ticket right on the spot, up to New York, straight to the party. | ||

|
Nice. | |
| Let's jump to this story. | ||
| Let's get a little political here. | ||
| It's from sdnr.com. | ||
| Black Lives Matter leader who endorsed Trump tells Fox News, the Democratic Party is not for us. | ||
| Will we get, uh, you know, let me just, we'll throw it back. | ||
| We'll go back in time. | ||
| The meme war was so much fun. | ||
| It was. | ||
| Just all the memes were hilarious. | ||
| Excuse me, excuse me. | ||
| Will be fun because Elon has just declared a new one. | ||
| And that's my point. | ||
| This is what I bring up. | ||
| With a Black Lives Matter leader saying, you know what, the Democratic Party's not for us. | ||
| Trump is winning. | ||
| I should say he's improving among younger voters, among black and Latino voters. | ||
| Joe Biden's just in a horrible position. | ||
| And I have no idea how they could reasonably swap out Joe Biden at this point. | ||
| Are we going to have a resurgence of 2016? | ||
| Is it going to be the great meme war, the jokes, the Trump The Trump debate style? | ||
| I think that would be great because that really got people excited. | ||
| It got people excited and thought that everyone was on the same team, you know. | ||
| And I wasn't part of it at all, but it did look fun at the time. | ||
| From the outside? | ||
| It did look fun from the outside. | ||
| And you could kind of get the sense that something was coming and you weren't expecting it. | ||
| I don't know anything about the meme war. | ||
| I never had conversations with Ricky Vaughn or Codrad Stump or any of those guys. | ||
| Oh, you weren't involved at all? | ||
| Definitely not. | ||
| Jack's a general... Not in any way involved in memery... Jack's a serious pillow salesman, so... I am but a humble pillow merchant. | ||
| And, Hannah-Claire, I just want to make sure that... I've been looking at your screen throughout the evening and... Creep? | ||
| Just, I don't know... What, creep? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Did you say creep? | |
| I'm gonna look at Hunter Biden and his payment. | ||
| Is that creep? | ||
| And it just doesn't seem to be the mypillow.com website. | ||
| Yeah, you must not be a very good salesman. | ||
| I'm so concerned of all the sales. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm still concerned about all the sales that you might be missing when you're ordering. | |
| You have to get it delivered in time for... I just don't know why you're not doing this. | ||
| Christmas. | ||
| Only we had a good pillow merchant in the room to convince me to buy something. | ||
| But isn't it actually really wild how hard they went after a guy who sells pillows? | ||
| It's like, is this your biggest threat, dude? | ||
| But his reaction to them calling his pillows lumpy was the best. | ||
| Oh, that was amazing! | ||
| He's like, how dare you! | ||
| Don't call my pillows lumpy! | ||
| That's when they attacked his integrity, this product, which I honestly respect, you know? | ||
| I do too. | ||
| Everyone in the world respected that. | ||
| Because I even saw people in Silicon Valley retweeting that saying, never attack a founder's business. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| Never do that. | ||
| In your lumpy pillow. | ||
| You're lumpy, you're lumpy, you're in it! | ||
| It just lights the guy up. | ||
| I talk to Mike, right? | ||
| He's legitimately one of the nicest guys. | ||
| He's an extremely devout Christian. | ||
| I've heard him say, he said this publicly, so I'll just say it. | ||
| He'll straight up say if you get stuck somewhere or if you're in a convent, he will send a private jet for you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Like, anywhere, if you truly need it and you're trying to get somewhere and you're in a bind. | ||
| Like, I've heard him do that for people so many times, and even people that aren't in politics, that just someone he knows that has trouble, he's like, oh, send the jet, don't worry about it, everything will be fine, and he'll just do that. | ||
| And then just, I don't know how he, he just takes the price. | ||
| We need to make sure the younger generation that wasn't... I mean, look, it's going to be 2024, so it's nearly 10 years since the 2016 race. | ||
| It'll be 8. | ||
| And there's going to be a lot of, you know, early 20s Gen Z people who are not old enough to have seen the meme magic. | ||
| Beautiful times. | ||
| But really, I'm not making a joke. | ||
| Real quick, people need to understand this. | ||
| Meme magic was a reference to the very strange occurrences that happened online where memes... So on 4chan, for instance, when you make a post, you get an ID number, and weird things would happen with numbers lining up in certain ways. | ||
| It was... | ||
| It's just wild, the serendipity and the coincidence around people posting memes and how weird things are to coincide with the posts. | ||
| Well, and not just the posts, but the way that it actually affected and influenced reality. | ||
| And so it had an influence on the real world. | ||
| Hillary's health, I think, probably was one of the biggest ones of these. | ||
| So we started hashtag Hillary's health, and we kept saying there's something wrong with her. | ||
| There's something wrong. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And at the time, she was like... Was that before the 9-11 incident thing? | |
| So, do you want to hear the story or not? | ||
| Yeah, maybe in the third hour. | ||
| Or maybe at AmFest, also a promo code post, which I hear Tim will... I believe we're confirmed for AmFest. | ||
| Do you have any guests for AmFest, Tim? | ||
| I don't know if we're allowed to say it, are we? | ||
| Uh, I got a text that said to go ahead and say it, so if you want to, go ahead. | ||
| Oh, okay, yeah, Tucker Carlson. | ||
| So, TimCast, Tucker Carlson. | ||
| Live on stage. | ||
| We'll be live on stage. | ||
| AmFest.com, get your tickets now. | ||
| Do not come crying to me when the thing is sold out, which happens every single year. | ||
| One of these things, people go, oh, Pozo, can you get me in? | ||
| Get me a couple tickets, a couple comps, man. | ||
| Like, I know you got the hookup, I know you know Charlie. | ||
| Like, I ain't doing it. | ||
| Like, I'm just straight up not doing it. | ||
| So yeah, Charlie, I think, I know Charlie's going to be on, this is the on stage, so you're bringing the show out, right? | ||
| The show is going to be on stage at AmFest, and our guests, I believe, are Tucker Carlson and Charlie Kirk. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| It's going to be awesome. | ||
| That's going to be great. | ||
| So that's, you're doing it, Patrick Bet-David, I know Tucker's going to be broadcasting from there, Bannon's War Room, I'm going to be doing my show, Charlie's doing his show. | ||
| Patrick Bet-David is going to be also live streaming from there. | ||
| He's not just appearing, he's also going to be doing live, so like, you're going to get the valetainment. | ||
| Dude, those guys are awesome. | ||
| It's just everybody. | ||
| I think it's literally just everyone's coming back. | ||
| The post-millennial would be there. | ||
| We're going to have a booth. | ||
| Post-millennial's got a booth. | ||
| We're going to have a bunch of people out. | ||
| Imagine not going to AmFest. | ||
| It's not easy to do. | ||
| Doing a show on stage like this requires a lot. | ||
| I remember last year. | ||
| It was wild. | ||
| It was definitely wild. | ||
| And so we have to, as soon as the show wraps, we're on a jet right back. | ||
| Because we had to do the show Tuesday. | ||
| I had to do the morning show too. | ||
| But when we were talking and we said we wanted to do a big show, they hit us up. | ||
| Well, if you get in trouble, I know a guy. | ||
| He's got a jet. | ||
| You have to buy a lot of pillows, I heard. | ||
| They're taking care of us. | ||
| They're helping take care of everything. | ||
| It's fantastic. | ||
| And so I'm really excited for this. | ||
| They were like, you know, let's get Tucker on stage. | ||
| It'll be cool. | ||
| It's gonna be awesome. | ||
| I feel like Tucker coming on the show is a long time coming. | ||
| I feel like a lot of people have wanted to see the mashup. | ||
| Well, they used to be at the exact same time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So you couldn't, I mean, there was no way to make that work. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Tim couldn't go on Tucker. | ||
| Tucker couldn't go on Tim. | ||
| But after he left Fox, We actually, I don't know, I think our people reached out and it was a like, oh yeah, for sure, we'll figure it out. | ||
| And then we just never did. | ||
| It's the same thing that happens with Trump. | ||
| We get like, we had Lara Trump on the show and she's like, yeah, of course, let's make it happen. | ||
| I'm like, cool. | ||
| And then we just never do it. | ||
| And so I'm like, I don't know, I kind of feel like. | ||
| If slash when we have Trump on, it shouldn't just be us pursuing it for the sake of pursuing it, it should be like at a time where it really matters. | ||
| Speaking of which, so I did actually discuss this with, speaking of AmFest, I did discuss this with Charlie earlier and, you know, so, you know, we were kind of going through because I knew there were some names that haven't come out yet. | ||
| Um, so on, on Trump, no news yet. | ||
| No, no news. | ||
| Yes or no. | ||
| Leaning towards, I mean, come on. | ||
| He really ought to come. | ||
| You know, um, I, I, I would, I would say it's probably likely. | ||
| He gets a hero's welcome. | ||
| But no news. | ||
| Um, uh, Vivek is confirmed. | ||
| Uh, Chris Christie, Chris Christie, just total no response. | ||
| He just didn't say anything. | ||
| No response. | ||
| And again, like Turning Point reached out to every single Turning Point action. | ||
| But you know, Chris Christie just the other day on the news was saying how his campaign was really picking up steam. | ||
| No, he was picking up cream, actually. | ||
| Oh, is that what it was? | ||
| He was at Krispy Kreme. | ||
| Yeah, he was picking up cream. | ||
| That makes more sense. | ||
| You must have heard him, or maybe he misspoke. | ||
| So Nikki Haley, probably not. | ||
| Ron DeSantis, Governor Ron DeSantis. | ||
| Again, because the offer went out everywhere. | ||
| DeSantis is coming now. | ||
| It's the opposite. | ||
| So there was a conversation that was being held. | ||
| The conversation is now over. | ||
| From what Charlie told me just prior to the show to now, Ron DeSantis will not be attending AmFest. | ||
| He found out I was coming. | ||
| That's his second turning point snub. | ||
| After I just described every single entity, organization, group, all the hottest podcasts in the entire country are going to be there. | ||
| But their heights are publicly known. | ||
| Many of which, one of which he was just on, many of which are from Florida. | ||
| Yeah, he has decided to decline to come to Turning Point yet again. | ||
| I think that's crazy too. | ||
| Which is the largest conservative grassroots event in the entire country. | ||
| He's running for president! | ||
| And he doesn't like the base. | ||
| And he's going to debate a governor tomorrow, right? | ||
| For some strange reason. | ||
| It's like he keeps saying that he just doesn't care about the base conservatives in this country. | ||
| He doesn't want their vote. | ||
| He goes on all of the other networks. | ||
| He snubs Turning Point. | ||
| It's really crazy how he does that. | ||
| What, does he actually think people are going to come around? | ||
| Well, so be like, oh, you won't show up. | ||
| You won't talk to anybody. | ||
| And they keep saying that. | ||
| And it's very strange to me. | ||
| It's perplexing, because I've been at turning point events in the past where Ron DeSantis spoke and prior to him announcing that he was running against Trump, but where he was given a standing ovation by the crowd. | ||
| They loved him. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I don't think it would be an unfriendly, you know, hostile event in any way. | ||
| That being said, you know, it's a primary, bro. | ||
| You know, you gotta go into these things. | ||
| But the perception of it is just so bad. | ||
| If you look weak, you look terrified. | ||
| If he showed up, the response from the Trump supporters would be to shake his hand and say, I respect everything you're doing in Florida. | ||
| I hope you understand why we're supporting Trump. | ||
| I think you're doing a good job. | ||
| They wouldn't attack him. | ||
| And that's his opportunity to make a case. | ||
| You know what I think? | ||
| I don't think he has an argument. | ||
| I don't think he actually has formulated how he actually says you should vote for me over Trump. | ||
| He doesn't have one. He just says I'm gonna fight. I'm gonna fight back. He he'll make these these odd sort of | ||
| Persuasions about Oh personnel well personnel, you know personnel | ||
| personnel is going to be going to be going to be key. | ||
| Okay, but what's the argument right? | ||
| You've got a guy who's got, you know, just just put my, you know, dirty political strategist had on for a second | ||
| here. | ||
| You've got a guy who's got higher name ID than almost anyone | ||
| in the entire world. | ||
| Someone who's by far the most famous conservative on the face | ||
| of the planet. | ||
| So explain to me then, but when given all that and oh, by the way, the majority of the party because remember you | ||
| run in the party then you run in the general. | ||
| It's one, then the other. | ||
| It's not straight to general. | ||
| So they keep making these weird general election arguments, which are completely baseless, by the way, that only Ron DeSantis can win the general, which there's just no evidence for whatsoever. | ||
| Well, he can't win the general if he can't win the nomination. | ||
| But most, I'm not going to say half, the majority of the party feels that Donald Trump actually won the 2020 election. | ||
| They feel that January 6th was about protesting a stolen election and they want Trump to go back and finish the job. | ||
| That's a really easy sell for a political candidate. | ||
| If you've got someone who's arguing against that, Uh, it just comes across as really self-centered. | ||
| It comes across as really selfish. | ||
| And quite frankly, it comes across as politically stupid because you could have, he could have gone. | ||
| And I said this so many times behind the scenes, all you had to do was say, uh, Donald Trump has unfinished business and I'm going to be supporting him in 2024. | ||
| Then, regardless of what happened in that election, all of MAGA would remember that DeSantis had stood by the man who put him in the governor's mansion of Florida. | ||
| Instead of running this insane betrayal of a backstabbing, raising millions of dollars, laundering it through the Republican Governors Association, putting it then into the governor's race in Florida, which was a non-competitive race, Taking those millions of dollars away from competitive races all around the country. | ||
| Democrats win, then they blame that on Donald Trump. | ||
| Then he rolls that same money, which again, which was supposed to go to gubernatorial candidates, into his own presidential campaign. | ||
| This is where Never Back Down starts, because they roll that over into federal. | ||
| You can't go one-to-one, but they brought most of it over, the bulk of it. | ||
| And then claims all the time that he's just on a national book tour and he's not really running for president. | ||
| That was so fake. | ||
| It was weird. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That really pissed me off too. | |
| And all the while, remember, you chose this. | ||
| You all chose this. | ||
| You could have sat back, And been handed the baton, the mantle of MAGA as the heir apparent and literally walked into the White House in 2028. | ||
| But obviously there was someone in his ear saying, you don't want to be tarnished with that brush, right? | ||
| There was someone who talked him out of seeing Trump and the potential role as an heir apparent as a good thing. | ||
| Look, you can say what you want, but at the end of the day, I mean, he's his own man. | ||
| But wouldn't that be what the implication was? | ||
| Because they had a somewhat positive relationship at one point, and then it was like, well, you could run for president now and challenge Trump, or you could wait four years and do it then. | ||
| Someone had to convince him that the timing was right now. | ||
| To me, it seems like the argument must have been you don't want to be branded with the | ||
| MAGA mantle. | ||
| But what argument is that? | ||
| Because we know the core of the Republican voters are MAGA. | ||
| They do support Donald Trump. | ||
| The thing that gets me is that they don't recognize it as a betrayal. | ||
| They think that it's just some sort of, oh, it's just a free for all. | ||
| And you know, so anyone can run for president and it's fine. | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| You were a back bench congressman that nobody can, you don't even talk about your own accomplishments from when you were in the house because you don't have any. | ||
| He was another guy at dinner when we were at Trump tower or Trump hotel in DC. | ||
| And Oh, by the way, that's right. | ||
| You were eating dinner out of a building on the front of it was the name of the man that gave you the ability because You know, you were going to run again for Senate against Marco Rubio, but then Marco said that he was going to come back in. | ||
| So you cucked out of that and said, well, what am I going to do? | ||
| What are we going to do? | ||
| And then, okay, because you didn't want to run against little Marco. | ||
| So then you said, all right, well, I've got this infrastructure statewide. | ||
| Maybe I can roll that into a governor's race. | ||
| So you went and did that and you were about to lose to Adam Putnam. | ||
| And then you came to Trump and then you begged and begged and begged and don't even Did they say I didn't do that? | ||
| Yes, he did. | ||
| He did. | ||
| Yeah, he went and begged for the endorsement. | ||
| And Trump was going to get behind Putnam because everybody thought that Putnam was going to be the guy. | ||
| I was like, fine. | ||
| We wanted a governor who could win. | ||
| And remember, Florida was a 50-50 state back then. | ||
| Andrew Gillum, right? | ||
| The, you know, the coke addled sex fiend. | ||
| within just a few votes like like less than a percentage of becoming the governor of Florida | ||
| and if it was only for Donald Trump and only for the MAGA grassroots who went down there | ||
| after the election using the slogan. | ||
| I'm just gonna say it Tim. | ||
| I'm gonna say it hashtag stop the steal. | ||
| You're gonna say something else hashtag stop the steal to fight for Ron DeSantis that that | ||
| put that over and won Broward County. | ||
| And there's no recognition of any of that work. | ||
| There's no recognition of those rallies. | ||
| There's no recognition or even thanks for putting you there. | ||
| It's I'm going to run against you because I think I'm better. | ||
| And yes, I'm sure there are people who, you know, found some way to, you know, use verbal judo to be able to say that it's not betrayal, but it is. | ||
| And I'm sorry, it just is. | ||
| See, that makes me want to know who did it. | ||
| Like, what part of the Republican donor class or what political operative was like, this is a great idea, we should do it. | ||
| I wish that we could have a name because that would be interesting to know who twisted one political career because, you know, Donald Trump has a lot to offer the country. | ||
| He could only be president for four more years. | ||
| Who is after him? | ||
| There is a darker potential read on that. | ||
| You know, because, you know, we were just talking about Kissinger, right? | ||
| So who would want to talk someone into destroying their own political future by convincing them to do a political suicide run against the most famous conservative in a generation? | ||
| Somebody who wants the neolibs and the neocons to regain power and Bingo. | ||
| push them all out. Right. So you incite a MAGA civil war. | ||
| Yep. Which is exactly what happened. | ||
| You you get you pit MAGA against each other. You split them down the middle. | ||
| And to be fair, like I actually expected to Santa's to run like a real campaign. | ||
| I have no idea. He did not run a real campaign. It was so bizarre. I mean, | ||
| there are ways you can drop bombs on Trump from the right, but they just they just never did. | ||
| It never came. | ||
| It was this weird, like, insinuation kind of thing, and then, you know, they've kind of started to now, but the attacks are, like, really weird and confusing and very, like— And cringe! | ||
| Yeah, they said he had a foot fetish, like— Right? | ||
| That stuff is weird, too. | ||
| It doesn't make any sense. | ||
| Like, this is the opposite of meme magic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, it's a great example of— Well, because they can't run against his policies. | |
| It's a great example of so you're talking about me magic before and by the way there's a whole other theory I have and maybe it's more of a third hour theory that the lockdowns in 2020 were actually designed to prevent me magic from seeping back into reality so me magic was kept on lockdown because remember right all of this station remember folks remember never lose sight of the prize we are in a time traveler Chrono war with the globalists. That's what's really going | ||
|
unidentified
|
on right? What do you mean? Well, Steve Bannon our third hour | |
| Steve Bannon is a bear from the future. That's right. Who's been sent back to guide his father | ||
| There's a height no differential with the time-space continuum. No, it's you know, when you get older you get | ||
| shorter But Steve Bannon's actually pretty tall. | ||
| He's taller than average. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He's not 7'1". | ||
| No, but I'm not saying like he's not 5'6", 5'7". | ||
| No, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
| But I mean, to be fair, Baron's like 7 feet tall. | ||
| But yeah, Baron is enormous. | ||
| That's what I'm trying to say. | ||
| Yeah, well, but to my point, though, is that we never get the Civil War. | ||
| So the Civil War, you know, it starts, but then it stops. | ||
| They have these completely strange attacks on him. | ||
| They go and make these absolutely boneheaded political decisions, like agreeing to debate a guy who's not even running for president. | ||
| Right, what's up with that? | ||
| That's so weird. | ||
| And platforming him, which only has upside for Newsom, right? | ||
| There's no upside for DeSantis. | ||
| There's no upside for DeSantis, and plenty of potential downside. | ||
| Because if he loses, he looks really bad, and if he wins, like, he's supposed to. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| He's supposed to, and he's like, I got somebody who's not running. | ||
| Right, getting him to agree was all Newsom needed. | ||
| So now suddenly Newsom's got people talking about him as a presidential candidate, which plays into his interests. | ||
| In the Democrat shadow primary that's going on right now because they want Biden to drop out. | ||
| They want him to do this. | ||
| Jill won't let it happen because, I mean, it was rough, dude. | ||
| And you could see Biden looking at, like, giving the side eye to Jimmy Carter, right, at that funeral yesterday. | ||
| And you could tell that he's looking at him going, I also want to be in hospice, you're right. | ||
| Well, it's rough knowing that that's what's right around the corner. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| It's rough seeing it and being confronted with Because deep down he knows, right? | ||
| He knows. | ||
| Well, he's got the dementia shuffle going on. | ||
| Folks, he's not getting better. | ||
| What did he say? | ||
| Trump was a congressman? | ||
| Yeah, earlier today he said something about Trump as a congressman. | ||
| Look, his Christmas tree fell over. | ||
| It's a sign that everyone thinks he can't make it, including the universe. | ||
| There were even reports early on after October 7th. | ||
| It's just a symbol of his administration. | ||
| It's not great. | ||
| That Biden was confusing Hamas and Russia and the Israel-Ukraine situation. | ||
| He's tired! | ||
| He's been confusing Ukraine and Iraq for years. | ||
| Ukraine and Iraq, yeah. | ||
| It's hard to keep these things straight, especially when you can't remember anything. | ||
| You couldn't brief him on what was going on because he would say, well, why would Putin do that? | ||
| And they're like, Putin didn't invade Israel. | ||
| Like, how would he do that? | ||
| Come on, man, we gotta bomb Lichtenstein! | ||
| And it's just bad. | ||
| It's just so bad. | ||
| But, you know, it's the one thing that's sad to me is that, you know, I look at the Republican Party and, you know, you look at a guy like Ron DeSantis, who at one point, what I think everyone considered to be just a rising star. | ||
| Someone had an incredibly bright future. | ||
| And then you look at these guys, like I said before, like Lil Marco, like Scott Walker, You know, Tim Ryan, Tim Pawlenty, T-Paw. | ||
| Anyone remember T-Paw? | ||
| You guys wouldn't even know what I'm talking about. | ||
| Yeah, I forgot about him. | ||
| There were all these young guns out there who were going to be the next heir apparent to the party that are just complete nobodies now. | ||
| And it's like, good job, dude. | ||
| You decided to troll yourself into a relic. | ||
| But this was a conversation I got hearing from a lot of people. | ||
| I think I remember Ben Shapiro saying it in particular. | ||
| With DeSantis they said either you run now or you lose your moment. | ||
| You don't know that the momentum will be there in four years. | ||
| I think that tactic scares a lot of people into bad positions, right? | ||
| So that's insecurity. | ||
| What that is is that's insecurity. | ||
| So you're saying that I'm not good enough on my own and deep down you think that you're not good enough on your own. | ||
| And so you have this insecurity that I need the trappings of power. | ||
| I need the ability to be the governor while I'm running. | ||
| Therefore, it doesn't matter that I can immediately after winning reelection from the voters of your state, then turn around and by the way, not just betray Trump, but betray the voters of your own state, your own electorate and say, I'm not going to stay here and serve the people of this state who, by the way, I've seen their insurance rates go up I mean, they're being hit by hurricane after hurricane just of insurance rates. | ||
| Not only are you going to betray the guy that put you in office, you're going to betray the people who literally just voted for you to be their governor, and you're going to go gallivanting around the country running for president in a campaign that has completely no sense of itself, and no chance, and no reason for being. | ||
| So what do you think DeSantis should have done? | ||
| Because he's term-limited, right? | ||
| He couldn't have run for governor again. | ||
| Endorse! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Endorse! | |
| Just endorse! | ||
| And then what would he have done in the interlude for the four years? | ||
| Whatever you want! | ||
| But if he wants to stay in office, that's my thing. | ||
| Why do you have to stay in office? | ||
| Well, he could have been VP. | ||
| He could have been VP. | ||
| Yeah, he could have been VP. | ||
| Could he have? | ||
| They're both from Florida, though. | ||
| He could have been. | ||
| Then one of them changes the residence. | ||
| It's not that hard. | ||
| Chaney did it. | ||
| And Trump's in Bedminster anyway, in New Jersey. | ||
| Or he could be appointed Secretary of whatever. | ||
| He could have been Attorney General. | ||
| He could have been Secretary of State. | ||
| He would have been a good Attorney General. | ||
| He was a JAG officer. | ||
| But it's interesting they were just basically able to scare him into if you don't do it now your career is over. | ||
| It made no sense. | ||
| And I, I remember talking to, I'll just say DC people, DC insiders, who they, they was that same exact line. | ||
| We has to do it now. | ||
| And, you know, Christy, Christy missed his chance in to run in 2012. | ||
| We're coming off of the governorship and you got to do it. | ||
| You got to strike when the iron is hot. | ||
| And it's like, read the room, man, just read the room. | ||
| And so that being said, you know, I'm glad that this all happened this way, because if someone's political instincts are that bad, imagine if he was actually in the oval office. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| Imagine if he's in the Oval Office, and now he's got those people in his ear that are convincing him how to act, and they're saying, you gotta do it. | ||
| You just gotta bomb Iran. | ||
| You just gotta do it. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| You gotta bomb Iran. | ||
| You gotta strike while the iron's hot. | ||
| They paid Hamas off. | ||
| You just gotta go. | ||
| And there were people like Lindsey Graham who just, you know, anything happens. | ||
| He's like, bomb Iran. | ||
| Henry Kissinger died. | ||
| Bomb Iran. | ||
| Well, he's got a bomberang because they killed his Kissinger. | ||
| No, no, he's 100 years old, Lindsay. | ||
| Like, no, just, well, I mean, it's like the second coming. | ||
| In his memory, we have to do that. | ||
| Yeah, second coming of McCain in many ways. | ||
| And then you get John McCain-Heels, who is Nikki Haley, you know, running, which I love, you know, having Jamie Dimon come out for her at that same event. | ||
| You know, so it's like Wall Street basically just saying, yes, we fully support the military-industrial complex. | ||
| Let's get it all back together. | ||
| So the neocons keep trying to sort of, like, come back in. | ||
| And to some extent, a lot of them lined up behind DeSantis as well. | ||
| So I think you had a lot of these vested interests that were shut out of the Trump administration and certainly didn't agree with Trump on foreign policy, absolutely didn't agree with him when it came to trade, certainly didn't agree with him when it came to immigration, and they saw Ron DeSantis as a sort of vehicle whereby they could push their own interests and their own agenda by potentially seeing if they could unseat Trump in the primary. | ||
| You know, there was definitely an opening that DeSantis, I think, could have made it, you know, maybe a little bit more competitive, but just the way that he conducted himself, it is going to be studied for years to come as just a complete debacle of a presidential campaign and a total misunderstanding of how politics works in the Internet era. | ||
| Well, you brought up the book tour, too, which I remember when that was happening. | ||
| And you're just looking around going, he's running. | ||
| Why won't he just say he's running? | ||
| Why won't he just say he's running? | ||
| And the people that surround him in this campaign have really advised him so poorly. | ||
| They tell him to stay away from certain press. | ||
| They tell him to go all in on other stuff. | ||
| They're telling him to stay away from TPUSA. | ||
| They came up with that ridiculous announcement on Twitter, which didn't make any sense because it was the most lackluster possible announcement. | ||
| You know, there were ways to make that work and be effective. | ||
| And fun and buoyant, and it just wasn't. | ||
| Well, and let me like I'm just gonna say it they were lying to people they were lying to people like crazy | ||
| Saying that he wasn't running he said it was and you know, he slipped up the other day kept saying it | ||
| He slipped up the other day on that Laura Ingraham interview where he said, you know back in | ||
| 2022 I was the only candidate who said that we should have change at the RNC | ||
| And then he catches himself. | ||
| I mean, I was the only one who became later a candidate. | ||
| Is that what he said? | ||
| Who became later a candidate? | ||
| Something along those lines. | ||
| That's ridiculous. | ||
| So he catches himself before she says something and then he came in to correct it. | ||
| But it was that classic Freudian slip where he knew that he'd basically just given away the game to say, yeah, OK, yeah, obviously I was running for president. | ||
| We're gonna go to Super Chats! | ||
| So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, share the show with your friends, and head over to TimCast.com. | ||
| Click join us to support our work. | ||
| If you like the show, you think we do a good job, we rely on viewers like you to run the company and expand and do everything we're doing. | ||
| But we're gonna have that members-only uncensored show coming up at 10. | ||
| And I have a special announcement at 10 for you in light of recent events. | ||
| So I strongly encourage you all to be there and be ready for the beginning of the uncensored members-only show. | ||
| For that special announcement. | ||
| Uh, special, uh, announcement, we'll call it that. | ||
| Alright, uh, Kilted Carnivore says, not first again, despite the fact you are first, sir. | ||
| You see, he's hedging his bet. | ||
| He doesn't know if he's gonna be first, so he says he's not, then when he is, it's, oh look, you know, there I was actually first. | ||
| He has to have some more confidence, he can't be like DeSantis over here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You gotta be a little more confident. | ||
| Ridley Scott has this whole movie about how men shouldn't be ambitious, and it's called Napoleon, but it's not about the actual Napoleon. | ||
| It's about a guy who thinks he's Napoleon, and he's just constantly getting cucked by his wife, and that it leads him to more poorer and poorer decisions. | ||
| Whereas the real Napoleon was someone who was increasingly confident and was willing to be that man of destiny, as Hegel described him. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alright, we got AlphaTurk who says, Disney should be awarded a defense contract after producing more bombs than Lockheed Martin. | ||
| That's a good one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's amusing. | |
| Amusing. | ||
| Need drums in here so she can do the rim shot. | ||
| We have a cajon. | ||
| We do actually have drums here, that's true. | ||
| Zurg, get out, rim shot! | ||
| We'll have drums here for this Friday. | ||
| They want to do full band. | ||
| They do. | ||
| Wow, okay, that's going to be great. | ||
| Are you producing on Friday? | ||
| I hope we can do the audio, I think I should work out. | ||
| The Defiant is going to be here. | ||
| So, super excited. | ||
| Seriously? | ||
| Yeah, it's Dickie Barrett and Pete Parada. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| All right, I'm gonna fly back from Japan just for that. | ||
| And then go back. | ||
| Yeah, we're having him on the show. | ||
| Pete Prada, of course, he's done drums for our music. | ||
| He's super cool, super cool dude. | ||
| Dickie Barrett, everybody knows. | ||
| Come on, he's mighty mighty boss tones. | ||
| So are you guys like doing show and then the last hours then? | ||
| At 10, they're gonna play some music. | ||
| And we have this massive band set up. | ||
| It's gonna be awesome. | ||
| So I guess we're gonna have a full drum set. | ||
| Is it members only? | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| Live on YouTube. | ||
| Live on YouTube at 10. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And then what we're going to do is, when we book more and more musical guests for the end of the show on Friday night, we're going to put those clips on the Trash House Records YouTube to have this, like, library of music. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's awesome. | |
| And we'll probably do other special events. | ||
| Super excited. | ||
| I keep telling Phil, like, we want All That Remains, and he's like, yeah, we'll get it. | ||
| I'm like, come on, man. | ||
| Like, we want All That Remains. | ||
| Can they do acoustic stuff? | ||
| It has to be an acoustic set. | ||
| It's like a Tiny Desk concert that, like, MDR does, right? | ||
| They can do it on plug. | ||
| I mean, I guess The Defiant's gonna go full band. | ||
| I mean, we definitely have the means to do it. | ||
| We just need more space. | ||
| Yeah, it's just, the new studio's bigger, and so it'll be a lot easier. | ||
| There's enough space there. | ||
| Yeah, there's enough, for sure. | ||
| I would panic the cameras guys, but they're off right now. | ||
| We're just gonna have to move the cameras, because the original setup was like two seats, acoustic set, and they were like, we could do full band, and I'm like, alright, let's roll. | ||
| Carter's been overtime on it, but we'll get it done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was gonna say, are you producing or is Carter? | |
| Carter will be here for the after show. | ||
| We haven't really decided yet. | ||
| We'll figure that out tomorrow. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, capturing all of that live sound is not going to be easy. | ||
| It's a lot. | ||
| But I think we've got it easily. | ||
| It's just, you know, Carter is really great at getting that music, so I think we'll be good. | ||
| Let's grab some more. | ||
| Andrew Lignal says, YouTube won't let me write any variation of F after the word go. | ||
| I just wanted to cheer on Elon. | ||
| Well, we got in the title, I guess. | ||
| I wonder if it negatively impacted the show. | ||
| And if you wagered, Texas with the dollar sign. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We'll grab some more super chats. | ||
| Bricktop says, Jack, why do you always look so sad in photos? | ||
| This is what not sad looks like. | ||
| Let's do that again. | ||
| That is very un-Jack expression. | ||
| Alright, T-Rex Pet Shop says, You know we're winning when the news lies about a Kansas Chiefs fan calling a kid racist, but he ends up being Native American. | ||
| Must be embarrassing. | ||
| They can't find racism, they have to lie about it. | ||
| Yo, that story's so wild. | ||
| This gets better and better every day. | ||
| This Native American kid wears a headdress. | ||
| His grandfather is like a chieftain. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
| Like a tribal council leader. | ||
| Isn't his dad like on the chief's board or something? | ||
| Like he's an actual Kansas City chief. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they were like, he's racist for wearing half black, half red. | ||
| And then they showed the video of him doing the tomahawk with like a bunch of black. | ||
| The black team members are doing the chop with the job with him and the kids, Native American. | ||
| And his grandfather is on a tribal government council. | ||
| He's like, he's a chief. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which I was gonna say all the naming of American sports teams after Native American warriors, Indian warriors. | ||
| You know, it was supposed to be a mark of honor as in these are incredible warriors. | ||
| They're aspirational. | ||
| You wouldn't want to name yourself after like a loser or someone who's like, it's always meant as a badge of honor. | ||
| What's the thing they do in New Zealand? | ||
| Oh, the haka. | ||
| That thing is so cool when they do that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love when they do that. | |
| No, I just think it's cool when they do that. | ||
| I mean, New Zealanders are white. | ||
| Libby was doing her haka the other day. | ||
| We asked her politely but firmly to stop the haka. | ||
| I was reading about Maori fighters, I was playing Civilization, and they were crazy. | ||
| European colonists struggled against them more than any other indigenous population. | ||
| That's why there's a lot of Maori. | ||
| They didn't get rid of them. | ||
| And that's why, I don't know the history, but something like often the Europeans conquered, and I think with the Maori it was like a ceasefire. | ||
| Yeah, the British were trying to take over New Zealand, they just couldn't really. | ||
| Yeah, the Maori warriors were just like, ain't gonna happen. | ||
| The other thing too with the removal of Indian names and Indian symbols in America, with all of that removal. | ||
| They didn't do that in New Zealand. | ||
| No, we're doing it here though. | ||
| And what's happening is that is basically going to spell the erasure of Indian culture from Mainstream culture, because we're not seeing a whole bunch of, you know, indigenous Native American culture coming up. | ||
| We're just destroying what has been there representing them. | ||
| They took away Aunt Jemima. | ||
| Yeah, I hate that. | ||
| That's so offensive. | ||
| I remember on the side, I remember big rigs, you know, just on the highway, they used to always have like an Indian chief. | ||
| On the door, or on the hood, or something. | ||
| And the cigar store Indians. | ||
| Yeah, it was just a symbol that you would see around. | ||
| It was never meant as, like, mocking. | ||
| It was just Americana. | ||
| But we destroyed it because we're, you know, progressive and we're good at understanding people. | ||
| But we're not going to fix the reservation system. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| And apparently it's less racist to erase Indian culture from American culture than it is to honor it and see it. | ||
| Look at Lando Lakes. | ||
| They got rid of the Native American, but they kept the land. | ||
| And the crazy thing about that is it was a Native American guy who drew that picture. | ||
| Meanwhile, Cousin Tease is now here to solve this problem. | ||
| He wasn't self-hating. | ||
| He drew it as a point of pride. | ||
| He loved it. | ||
| He was so proud of his drawing. | ||
| But he was brainwashed a little bit. | ||
| You don't understand because you were brainwashed too. | ||
| Classic post-millennial. | ||
| Look, we need to figure out how to get this anti-Times Square speeding up. | ||
| I've got too many spinning plates. | ||
| And so with what we're doing with the coffee shop, I'm like, we want to have this strip in Martinsburg be all of these parallel economy businesses. | ||
| We got to figure out how to ramp that up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I don't know. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Cause I want to come hang out. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm like, we should have an angel studios movie theater. | ||
| You know, it's like, how do we wrangle all these cats and say, guys, like, let's prioritize this. | ||
| All the, all the marketing runoff is pure gold for everybody. | ||
| Like your businesses will succeed next to another business. | ||
| You know, I was telling Jeremy Love, Michael Knoll's a cigar shop. | ||
| I think you'd have to work with the companies that are already there, because there is a cigar shop in Martinsburg. | ||
| It's been around forever. | ||
| I think you'd have to get product there, you know what I mean? | ||
| Right, because the one rule is you can't disrupt the generational businesses. | ||
| The generational businesses have to be reinforced. | ||
| So the people who are like third or fourth generation in Martinsburg should be succeeding and expanding. | ||
| That's the goal. | ||
| But it'd be cool if the one that's there is the only place in town you can buy Michael's cigars and drive traffic there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| There are ways to partner with it, I think. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| Yeah, that's a great idea. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Shard Falcors Gaming says, cast brew instant Crosslands coffee crystals. | ||
| We're working on Graphene Dream. | ||
| That's Ian's signature blend. | ||
| I miss Ian. | ||
| I miss him when I'm not here. | ||
| He's gone. | ||
| He just ditched us. | ||
| I miss Mrs. Musk. | ||
| Became a cloud of graphene and drifted away. | ||
| I miss his aura. | ||
| His aura's still a little bit here. | ||
| We have a lot of little Ian toys over here. | ||
| Little glass mushrooms. | ||
| Little glass mushrooms. | ||
| Graphene is still here. | ||
| Little rocks. | ||
| There's graphene. | ||
| Infused with Ian. | ||
| He just keeps getting more and more rocks. | ||
| I mean, I gotta be honest, I bought him a lot of these rocks. | ||
| What were you thinking? | ||
| He likes rocks. | ||
| And so it's like... Here's the graphene. | ||
| It would be good for the growing boy to give him. | ||
| We go out and they're like, dude, a lot of stores sell rocks. | ||
| I'm not kidding. | ||
| My son used to collect rocks. | ||
| I don't know what happened to that collection. | ||
| Especially in this area. | ||
| You go to a gas station, they'll have bags of rocks. | ||
| A gift! | ||
| That and soap, right? | ||
| Right. | ||
| They like rocks out here. | ||
| The rocks are good. | ||
| I mean, that's what built this entire community. | ||
| Let's read this one. | ||
| DMZ Pro says, Hey Tim, are these late night shows like Kimmel really getting millions of views on their YouTube videos in a day, or could the numbers be sus? | ||
| Um, that's default. | ||
| That's normies. | ||
| And so the way it works is, when you go to YouTube, like, like, open a private tab and open up YouTube, and then guess what you're gonna see. | ||
| Congratulations. | ||
| So, I wouldn't say that people are enjoying the content, but people are certainly being force-fed it. | ||
| It's like it's front-loaded. | ||
| Yeah, and it's such BS because if you, like, this is proof of, in my opinion, narrative collusion with big tech. | ||
| I mean, there's a bunch of hard reasons, but come on. | ||
| You have, with Patrick Bet-David, with Steven Crowder, with Timcast IRL, insert any other organically grown podcast or show, And the math is simple. | ||
| If someone made a show from the ground up on their own without external support, it must be good. | ||
| If you are dumping millions into maintaining this show that is losing ratings, it must be bad. | ||
| So why then does YouTube put them on the front page? | ||
| Well, and again, because if you remember that during the writer strike, all of them went off air and nobody noticed for a while. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then at one point they tried to launch like a joint... I forget what it was called. | ||
| Do you remember what it was called? | ||
| Strike Force Five. | ||
| Strike Force... Stephen Colbert. | ||
| Ridiculous name. | ||
| Yeah, it was all of these... Where they all came together just like this and it was awful and nobody watched it. | ||
| And they were saying how any revenue would go to the writers who weren't getting paid because they were on strike. | ||
| So I actually felt guilty and watched it a sympathy. | ||
| I did not watch it. | ||
| Not you, but maybe others did. | ||
| I'm gonna say I think the views may be fake in some capacity or they're just like those websites where it says 25 photos of celebrities and you've never seen and then when you load it, there's 800 ads. | ||
| And then whenever you want to see the next photo, you got to click next. | ||
| That's probably what they're the kind of views they're getting. | ||
| I get all my news from the Postmillennial, but after that I get all my news from those click pages. | ||
| I'm the guy who clicks on all of them. | ||
| I click on those too. | ||
| I just sit and click those all day long. | ||
| Here's a point I want to make. | ||
| When they can't drive any kind of real influence, then they don't matter at all. | ||
| Even if someone did watch, they're not having any impact on the individuals. | ||
| Shows like this are. | ||
| Patrick, Matt, David, Crowder, obviously. | ||
| These are shows that are actually influencing people. | ||
| And, uh, you know, we talked to, uh, I think Matt Gaetz brought this up. | ||
| He's like, man, it's so different. | ||
| You go on Fox News and no one ever brings it up. | ||
| You go on Timcast and everyone's like, oh, I saw you on Timcast. | ||
| Like, cause these shows are real people watching. | ||
| It's also, and you know, this is a difference between active engaged viewership versus cable news, which is passive. | ||
| So cable news is a passive viewership because it's on, but it's on the background. | ||
| So, my parents aren't like this, but if you were over your parents' house for Thanksgiving | ||
| or your grandparents, you notice they just kind of always have a TV on | ||
| that's just in the house, and it's on and it's there, | ||
| and it's filling the background. | ||
| Yeah, it's like white noise. | ||
| And then you can kind of tell what side of the political aisle they're on | ||
| depending on what they're watching. | ||
| So if it's Fox or if it's CNN or it's MSNBC, like you're really in for it if it's there. | ||
| And so that doesn't mean though that they're sitting down and actively engaging | ||
| in what they're listening to. | ||
| And so, yeah, they might be on in whatever Nielsen X number of households, but that doesn't mean that, to Gates's point, okay, you're on in the household, but those households aren't necessarily paying attention. | ||
| Whereas a show like this, a show like Human Events, a show like War Room, you've got to search that out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| And so you're going to be actively listening to it. | ||
| This, of course, by the way, comes up a ton in Uh, podcast advertising where they say, okay, it may not be as many viewers or listeners as cable news, but they're more engaged, which means your conversion rate is going to be higher. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So that's, that's another big component is, uh, when people went and we see this with our own sales with Casper, it's the sales are way higher doing direct shout outs as opposed to buying ads. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Let's read this. | ||
| When we got Ryan Kirchmeyer says, PBD had Chris Cuomo on. | ||
| He sounded a lot like you. | ||
| What happened? | ||
| And would you have him on? | ||
| Did Patrick bet David asking him about staging that fake, uh, COVID? | ||
| When he climbed out of his basement and said, I just came out of my basement, like right after he'd been at a party in the Hampton. | ||
| No, he was at his house. | ||
| He was at his property. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But he had been at a party. | ||
| He was at a party before that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I knew that he was at, he was visiting. | ||
| Wasn't at a party? | ||
| Well, he was seen out. | ||
| He was seen on his property, which was under construction. | ||
| So I'd love to have him on. | ||
| And the first question is, why did you fake being in quarantine during COVID? | ||
| Were you told, like first question, then whatever he says, I, Direct an answer, and then I'd say, were you directed to do this by your superiors at CNN? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Maybe the guy would be like, yeah, we faked it. | ||
| They told me to. | ||
| I'd be like, wow. | ||
| So if he wants to come on the show, I'd love to have him on and be fantastic. | ||
| And that's the first question I have. | ||
| I think he generally said something more along the lines of like, hey, there were a lot of things I did that I'm not proud of. | ||
| He didn't answer it. | ||
| No, he didn't ask the question directly, but there was like a general sense. | ||
| Did PBD ask, why did you fake being under quarantine? | ||
| I didn't see that. | ||
| Yeah, I feel like we need more specific questions for this guy, otherwise he's gonna give a lot of skating on the edge and general answers. | ||
| Right, so I get that he wants to be like, oh, I'm just a fair guy now, I'm not in the tank. | ||
| Okay, that's fine, but you need to actually come clean about all the things that you did. | ||
| But if he doesn't come clean, he gets enough sympathy and potentially he could go back in. | ||
| Because that's ultimately what he really wants. | ||
| He has a show now, right? | ||
| That's 100% right. | ||
| Does he have a show? | ||
| He has a show on some channel. | ||
| On NewsNation. | ||
| No, but her point is that if he doesn't attack CNN and they get new leadership, he can come back. | ||
| NewsNation is not the same thing. | ||
| He wants to go back. | ||
| Well, let's read this. | ||
| We got Stronger Than Stone says, I respect you, Tim, but I really wish you would lay off the UFO stuff. | ||
| It's fine if you don't believe it, but please don't insult your fans that do. | ||
| If you took any of that as an insult to people who believe in UFOs, you have internalized that and you are, it's something inside you, man. | ||
| When did I say the UFOs weren't real? | ||
| You said they were exploiting people. | ||
| They release UFO information. | ||
| Real or fake. | ||
| No, I think I said it's real. | ||
| Like, a guy will see a UFO, and then they'll have a document, but it doesn't matter to them. | ||
| And then when the Hunter Biden stuff comes out, they'll release it. | ||
| So yeah, I believe these guys are seeing strange phenomena. | ||
| I wonder what they are. | ||
| My thing is that the Biden administration, rather than being like, we're gonna give this to you in honesty and transparency, this stuff that's going on that you guys have been raising questions about, they're using it to cover up their own scheme. | ||
| And that's what's cheapening the experience. | ||
| Remember the Titanic submarine? | ||
| Yeah, that was a total cover-up. | ||
| They did the Titanic submarine right when the Hunter Biden report was coming out, and they lied and said, remember the pinging? | ||
| Oh, we hear pinging! | ||
| Oh, you know, that's going on. | ||
| They knew from the start that they had gone. | ||
| They knew on Sunday, and they did this. | ||
| They knew, and they lied to the family, they lied to the entire country. | ||
| Everybody was talking about it. | ||
| I think I may have been on TimCast during that. | ||
| That, I mean, it was a huge deal, and we were trying to figure out what was going on, were they trapped? | ||
| They knew the whole time. | ||
| Remember, they were like, at this point, they would have run out of oxygen. | ||
| The Coast Guard was giving us updates. | ||
| Yeah, the media had like a countdown of the oxygen, and the Biden administration knew all along. | ||
| Because they had heard an explosion. | ||
| And then James Cameron came out and started yelling at them. | ||
| He said, this is a cover-up operation. | ||
| Well, cause they had heard an explosion on Sunday and they reported to the Coast Guard. | ||
| It was like the Navy had heard an explosion. | ||
| They told the Coast Guard that they'd heard an explosion. | ||
| I remember saying that because I said, look, given where it is in the water, we would have heard that if this thing exploded. | ||
| So me, you know, I wasn't willing to go there yet to say that the Coast Guard and the Navy would be in on it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Even I, even I couldn't believe that our military and our Coast Guard All right, Logic Plank says, we need to start emailing advertisers who work with woke companies and ask them how they feel about working with Marxist terrorists. | ||
| Incorrect. | ||
| That won't do anything. | ||
| You are in the bottom tier. | ||
| What would be effective, and I'm not advocating necessarily right now, Would be if you emailed companies and asked them why they were advertising on Disney. | ||
| Disney is fascist and supports the murder of Muslims. | ||
| And then Disney's gonna, you know, uh-oh. | ||
| A big brand is gonna be like, we don't want to be associated with Islamophobia. | ||
| Well, Disney thanked the security forces that are... I mean, the things they're doing to the Uyghur Muslims are nightmarish. | ||
| It's like... | ||
| I'm at a loss for words. | ||
| I mean, forced abortions? | ||
| Rape and murder? | ||
| I mean, these things are nightmarish. | ||
| And Disney thanked them. | ||
| It's actually, it's demographic replacement is what they're trying to do. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| And this is China's stated goal. | ||
| The CCP's stated goal in Xinjiang, which by the way, they were doing this to an extent and are doing this to an extent in Tibet as well, which the left used to understand. | ||
| Well, they call it sinicization. | ||
| But yeah, they're sending as many Han Chinese there. | ||
| They're making incentives, financial incentives. | ||
| So I've been to Xinjiang, I've been to Tibet. | ||
| Um, that you have, you were financially incentivized to go in there. | ||
| And even when I was there, uh, over a decade ago, you could tell that there were these huge areas of the city that were all for Han Chinese. | ||
| And it was all in Mandarin Chinese. | ||
| Um, you wouldn't see any Arabic anywhere. | ||
| You wouldn't see any of the Uyghur language. | ||
| And then you would go to other areas and it's like they became ghettos, ghettoized in their own cities. | ||
| And that was, that was over a decade ago. | ||
|

|
Yeah. | |
| All right. | ||
| What do we got here? | ||
| Mary Everett says, so is my rumble stock finally going to stop falling? | ||
| I went big two years ago and lost half so far. | ||
| I have a decent amount of rumble stock. | ||
| Not, I say decent amount. | ||
| I don't think it's that much. | ||
| It's not like I got millions of shares or anything. | ||
| I have a very small amount. | ||
| When you buy stock in a new company that goes public, yeah, it goes down. | ||
| That's literally why they go public. | ||
| They're raising money. | ||
| So, if you believe in the company, buy the stock. | ||
| If you're trying to buy stock to gamble, I don't know, man, that sounds risky. | ||
| I don't want to give anybody any financial advice. | ||
| But it sounds to me like a bad idea to be like, I'm going to buy a bunch of stock and then hope I make a bunch of money off it. | ||
| I mean, maybe you'll get a few percentage gain. | ||
| I'm actually really confident in the growth of Rumble. | ||
| That's why I bought stock. | ||
| I'm like, man, in 5-10 years, this company is going to be massive. | ||
| These shares are going to be worth a lot of money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| Other than that, just sit around and wait, I guess. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Do whatever you want. | ||
| Do what your financial advisor tells you to do. | ||
| Who was it? | ||
| All those athletes who did endorsements for Binance and FTX. | ||
| Right, and they all got sued and stuff. | ||
| Because they were telling people to do it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's why I'm always like, no financial advice! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's like the one, no medical, no financial advice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a great story about that because everyone gave their endorsement, like everybody. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| They were paying fat stacks. | ||
| Paying fat stacks. | ||
|

|
All right. | |
| Let's see. | ||
| Where are we at? | ||
| Where are we at? | ||
| Paul Tascalo says, Theory Hunter testifies mid-December, puts on a show. | ||
| That morning, Joe Biden issues a pardon for himself and Hunter, resigns the presidency. | ||
| Kamala takes over. | ||
| Dems get their first black female president, freeing Newsom to run in 2024. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, all of the permutations of that aren't going to work because Joe and Jill refuse to leave. | ||
| They're all trying to get them to leave and they just completely refuse. | ||
| Yeah, they won't give it up. | ||
| Yep, yep. | ||
| Where are we at? | ||
| Loyal Snoop Doge says, less censorship and less advertising. | ||
| Elon is making Twitter great again. | ||
| Well, if everybody does sign up for that, you know, for Twitter Pro or whatever, what is it called under the blue check? | ||
| Blue. | ||
| Twitter Blue. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Pay for a product that you like and the company runs itself. | ||
| And then I love the idea that even if you don't want to pay, you can still use it and still read information and still post and do whatever you want. | ||
| I think Elon's got some pretty great ideas. | ||
| It's gonna be tough. | ||
| It's gonna be a challenge, but I hope he wins. | ||
| He's completely right about the advertisers. | ||
| Tell him to screw off. | ||
| In fact, he should, he said, everyone's going to know the companies that did this. | ||
| Well, replace the ads that they were supposed to buy with a message saying this company has pulled off ads boycotting the political opinions of people on this platform. | ||
| You know? | ||
| You can get real hard with it, actually. | ||
| I think the reason why Media Matters went after Elon, I think this is actually fairly obvious. | ||
| Elon announced that from the river to the sea would be banned, that decolonize would be banned, and then immediately Media Matters goes after him, and if you look at the tweets from Media Matters employees, they are anti-Israel. | ||
| Yeah, they sure are. | ||
| They went right after Elon because Elon was critical of Hamas and of the leftist protests. | ||
| You saw there were even members of SPLC's union that signed on to straight-up pro-Hamas statements. | ||
| So that's why they're going after Elon. | ||
| And these are the people that lead to advertiser boycotts. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And these are the people who then, you know, a bunch of Democratic congressmen like Adam Schiff and Dan Goldman signed on to a letter to Twitter and to Elon Musk and Linda Yaccarino talking about how concerned they were about hate speech on the platform and what else. | ||
| And they were citing media matters. | ||
| It's like a pipeline. | ||
| Media matters gets treated like it's a reliable source and it's not. | ||
| It's just- I feel like we haven't done this in a while. | ||
| Spin commenced. | ||
| It's going. | ||
| That's just what's happening. | ||
| Imagine saying Tim Kool is anti-UFO when he's got one right next to him. | ||
| Yeah, it's pretty cool, too. | ||
| All right, that's going pretty well. | ||

| I'm sorry that my name means something to me. | ||
| It means nothing to you. | ||
| Libby's destroying my identity one second at a time. | ||

| I was like, I was like, yeah, he's like, he's like, because, you know, I see those numbers come in and she's actually like, Mike, you don't need to, you don't need to continue. | ||
| And then Kyle Rittenhouse, because he's got his book, which by the way, so we've got the promo codes. | ||
| We do not get a cut from Kyle Rittenhouse for not doing that. | ||
| Phil would be right. | ||
| But he added on promo code Tanya as well, and he was like, yeah, she's actually got more than you. | ||
| Wow. | ||
