| Currently, far-left anti-Israel protesters are clashing with police, breaking through | ||
| the barricades, and they're on their way, and many of them may already be, at the Met | ||
| Which, for those that don't know, it's basically the Super Bowl for women, and it's a huge deal with photographers and celebrities, and there's dresses and all this stuff, and I don't know much about it, but apparently it's a really big deal, because it's like the fashion moment of the year. | ||
| And I wonder what's going to happen with these far leftists protesting because the celebrities are supposed to be on board with these left-wing causes. | ||
| In other big news, outside of that, the police, well I should add real quick, the level three mobilization of police. | ||
| Yes, because they're taking it that seriously. | ||
| But the other big news is that Politico released a report showing that the biggest donors To these anti-Israel protests are actually also Joe Biden's biggest donors. | ||
| So sure enough, the woke stuff has come to bite him from behind. | ||
| Unfortunately for Joe Biden, he's now losing the youth vote as well. | ||
| So we'll talk about that. | ||
| Columbia's canceled their graduation. | ||
| And here's what I love. | ||
| Joe Biden has suspended military aid to Israel despite it being congressionally approved. | ||
| Well, most of you know that's what they impeached Donald Trump for, except that was Ukraine. | ||
| But Joe Biden, when he suspends aid to Israel, nothing happens. | ||
| Then they're saying that the pier they were building has been suspended as well and will no longer be built in Gaza, but in Eshdod, in Israel. | ||
| Gee, I wonder why this is. | ||
| It seems the protests have shifted the Biden administration's plans. | ||
| And now they are pulling back from what Israel is doing, as Israel says they're going to go into Rafa, whether the U.S. | ||
| wants them to or not. | ||
| And of course, the U.S. | ||
| is still sending weapons to Ukraine, which proves the Ukrainians control the United States. | ||
| That's right, everybody. | ||
| Everyone knows since the creation of the Ukrainian state or the fall of the Soviet Union, they have controlled all of U.S. | ||

|
Well, I am a stand-up comedian based out of Dallas, Texas. | |
| Originally, I started my comedy career in Los Angeles. | ||
| I'm also a documentary filmmaker. | ||
| I mean, my husband, Eric Abinanti, created American History of Voter Fraud. | ||
| You can find that on my YouTube channel. | ||
| And now I'm out here basically fighting for freedom of speech through my stand-up and getting to talk to people like you. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out. | ||
| Libby's here. | ||
| I'm Libby Emmons. | ||
| I'm hanging out. | ||
| I'm the editor-in-chief with The Post Millennial. | ||
| Glad to be here. | ||
| Hannah Clare's here. | ||
| I'm Hannah Clare Brimel. | ||
| I'm happy to have you both here tonight. | ||
| I'm a writer for scnr.com. | ||
| That's Scanner News. | ||
| Thanks, guys, for watching. | ||
| Hi, Serge! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hello. | |
| How are you doing? | ||
| Pleasure to be here. | ||
| Thank you for coming. | ||
| Also, don't forget to click the link in the description below. | ||
| Go to found.ee slash divine and download, listen to, add to your Spotify the new single from All That Remains, Divine. | ||
| It's an amazing song. | ||
| Shout out to Phil Labonte, homie, and recurring co-host on the show. | ||
| He just put out that new single and we're big fans. | ||
| We want to help him get a big push. | ||
| So I definitely recommend you guys check out the song. | ||
| If you're into metalcore or, you know, heavier music, that's definitely going to be fun. | ||
| Let's jump into the first story. | ||
| We got this from the New York Post. | ||
| I just want to say, when it gets to the point where you've torn down barricades and you're fighting with police, it is a riot. | ||
| I don't know why the media is so scared to call it a riot when they say, demonstrators protesting. | ||
| Yo, they're fighting cops in the street and they're tearing down barricades. | ||
| That's violence. | ||
| That is a riot. | ||
| So we have this from Raw's Alerts. | ||
| New York police have just declared a level three mobilization as pro-Palestine clashing outside Met Gala forcefully tearing through barricades. | ||
| And for those that don't know, the Met Gala. | ||
| Jennifer Lopez stuns in sparkling see-through bejeweled ensemble as she leads star-studded arrivals on the red carpet for fashion's biggest night in New York City. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, The far left is threatening the Super Bowl for women. | ||
| That's basically what it is. | ||
| I have no idea what the Met Gala is or about. | ||
| All I know is that a bunch of women wear fancy clothes, and everybody in the media talks about it. | ||
| It's a big showbiz thing. | ||
| And Libby agreed with me. | ||
| Yes, Libby supports Tim 110% on this assessment. | ||
| No, she actually disagreed. | ||
| She says it's a fashion event, and I'm like, so basically women. | ||
| And gay men. | ||
| Okay, but basically women. | ||
| And gay men. | ||
| Yes, I know. | ||
| No one's discounting them, but they're only like 2%. | ||
| That's sort of what it is. | ||
| No, not anymore. | ||
| Isn't like 24% of Gen Z identifies as part of the LGBT... Break that down, though. | ||
| That's overwhelmingly women identifying as bi. | ||
| Yes, that's correct. | ||
| And still among Gen Z, the amount of people identifying as a gay man is actually relatively... still very, very low. | ||
| Yeah, and lesbians. | ||
| Lesbians are also pretty. | ||
| pretty low on the list. But yeah, anyway, the Met Gala theme this year | ||
| is the Garden of Time. It's set up with their new exhibition, which is Sleeping Beauties, | ||
| Reawakening Fashion. | ||
| Because the Met has a really big fashion exhibit. They have like, this is part of | ||
| their thing every year. | ||
| So this is a star-studded, glitterati event. | ||
| The red carpet is very long. | ||
| Everyone gets very excited. | ||
| Zendaya looks weird. | ||
| I don't know if you guys were checking out the pictures. | ||
| And what I find really amazing... IRL, the fashion review for tonight. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I gotta be honest, she looks better than the other two women. | ||
| Yeah, but look at her eye makeup. | ||
| I don't like that. | ||
| Yeah, that's fine. | ||
| Look. | ||
| But yeah, I mean, she's a beautiful young lady. | ||
| She always looks good. | ||
| You know, she could pretty much wear anything. | ||
| She always looks pretty good. | ||
| But the thing that I love about this is that this is a bunch of Hollywood celebrities and New York rich people showing up to this event being protested by people who they claim to agree with on this cause. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's my favorite part. | ||
| Hypothetically, this is a fundraiser for the costume institute at the Met Gala, but obviously every year, and I feel like every year as social media has gotten bigger and bigger, it's just more of a, like, let me take my picture there to show that I'm elite and, like, that Vogue's editor-in-chief likes me, which I just find kind of, like, creepy and way too, like, Hunger Games elite. | ||
| Tick tock is one of the big sponsors this year and again like it's it's all of this like parading around hypothetically it's like these designers got the chance to make what could be considered you know very artistic clothing ultimately it's about like Presenting yourself as being incredibly important and famous. | ||
| But, you know, we talked about this a little bit before the show. | ||
| A couple years ago, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez showed up in the Tax the Rich dress and people were like, wait, that's an ethics violation. | ||
| She shouldn't even be there. | ||
| There was another state senator. | ||
| Wasn't it that the dress was loaned to her or something and it was super expensive and there was like... | ||
| Yeah, there was that, and there was also she got the tickets for free. | ||
| The tickets are like $35,000. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| And so I'm kind of wondering if there will be a Gaza-themed dress on the carpet tonight, because there have been increasing instances of people using this as a way to demonstrate their politics. | ||
| The thing there, though, is hypothetically Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue, gets to sign off on whatever one it's wearing. | ||
| Like, this is such a weird, controlled fame experiment that maybe she— Anna Wintour's like, no, no one's allowed to talk politics on the carpet tonight. | ||
| It's the Hunger Games. | ||
| It's so the Hunger Games. | ||
| It's creepy. | ||
| And now there's a bunch of anti-Israel protesters outside yelling. | ||
| I would love it if they made their way into this event and started, you know, protesting. | ||
| Well, the NYPD apparently veered them off into Central Park and then blocked the exits. | ||
| Oh, that's unfortunate. | ||
| Yeah, it is unfortunate. | ||
| I kind of really want to see them on the steps of the Met. | ||
| Okay, look, what's with, like, most of these women are just naked? | ||
| Well, that's fashion, Tim. | ||
| You gotta just show it all off. | ||
| And especially, you pay so much money for your plastic surgery, for your new butt, and your extra lips and stuff, and like your fancy boobs. | ||
| You don't buy a porch to park in the garage, right? | ||
| No, come on! | ||
| You buy this stuff so that you can strip down. | ||
| Plus, so many of these people are high on Ozempic, right? | ||
| high on Ozempic. | ||
| Well, if you're skinny, you're happy, except Ozempic apparently blocks your pleasure receptors | ||
| and makes you depressed. | ||
| It makes people happy. | ||
| It's increasing the number of pregnancies. | ||
| It like messes with birth control. | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| Really? | ||
| So it's a whole wave of women who've gotten pregnant while they're on Ozempic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, isn't that, I think that's a positive. | |
| That's a great thing. | ||
| It's a redeeming quality. | ||
| Hey, I think that Ozempic is great. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love that skinny is coming back. | |
| I'm like, it's my time to shine. | ||
| So, I'm sitting at 75 pounds, so I'm like, this is just fantastic. | ||
| Well, this is your summer. | ||
| Fair point. | ||
| Ozempic ended body positivity, I guess. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Let's bring back the thigh gap, baby. | ||
| It's just admitting that it was body positivity when people didn't want to, who wanted to not have to do any work, but then when they decided they could pay for a drug to make themselves skinny, they were like, actually, we like skinny now. | ||
| You scrolled past a picture, I think, of Gigi Hadid. | ||
| She's like a model. | ||
| But her sister, Bella Hadid, has been a really outspoken Palestinian advocate. | ||
| Aren't they Palestinian? | ||
| They are Palestinian, and their dad has gotten in trouble for saying so against his conflict. | ||
| Rich refugees, right? | ||
| They're rich refugees? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| I know that's their heritage. | ||
| I don't know their specific That's how the UN classifies you. | ||
| If you were ever, if your family was ever from Palestine or Gaza, whatever, then you are a refugee. | ||
| Right, and so Bella Hadid was like sparring with Netanyahu's government at one point in the last year before the October 7th attacks I believe. | ||
| So Gigi Hadid I think has said nothing. | ||
| Again, it's really interesting because you'll have these celebrities who are like Possibly supposed to signal they're on one side of this conflict. | ||
| But it makes me wonder how intensely they've all had to swear, like, no, we won't say anything. | ||
| We don't want to disrupt this fashion event. | ||
| Look at these. | ||
| You got a couple banners here from the protesters at the Met Gala. | ||
| Gotta have the watermelon. | ||
| Colombia is complicit. | ||
| All eyes are on Rafa. | ||
| What did Colombia do? | ||
| Honest question. | ||
| What did they do? | ||
| They evicted students who they suspended from their dorm rooms. | ||
| What did they do to support Israel blowing up Gazans? | ||
| Well, the demonstrators can't even tell you because their protests, their demands, are all about their protests. | ||
| Their demands are all about the students getting amnesty. | ||
| And then look at this other, this other banner says, they tried to bury us, but they didn't know we were seeds. | ||
| And there's a couple of watermelons on it. | ||
| Watermelons are the that's the symbol for Palestinian resistance when you're a watermelon. | ||
| Yeah, it's like if you're not allowed to speak out about Palestinian resistance, you use a watermelon, but these people are allowed to speak. | ||
| And they're showing solidarity. | ||
| Also, like, it's just a mindless thing they saw on the internet one time and they don't know what it means or what it's a reference to. | ||
| They're literally protesting Israel, but they're mad about a university telling them not to sleep in the grass. | ||
| A lot of these people are just pissed because during the BLM riots they were in high school and they didn't really get a chance to go out there and let loose. | ||
| It's Gaza Floyd. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think they're just looking for community, you know? | |
| It's like something to do, something to be a part of. | ||
| It's an arts and crafts project. | ||
| I can make a poster. | ||
| That's kind of fun. | ||
| I can hold it, look like I'm doing something important. | ||
| Do you think Michael's, the craft store, is making a lot of money off of this poster wave? | ||
| Just like with the women's march after Trump, I would add the same thing. | ||
| So the thing is with these young people, they're in college and all of their peers are saying and doing this thing. | ||
| So you want to fit in and you want to go with the flow and be part of the crowd, this is how you do it. | ||
| The police are an outside institution that don't exist if you're on this university, right? | ||
| NYPD specifically. | ||
| So New York government, the federal government, war, military is an out-group and pro-Gaza in-group. | ||
| So many of these people don't know what they're protesting for. | ||
| They're just there to be there. | ||
| Have you seen when you'll have like, you know, other students come out and be like, you're saying Intifada, do you know what that means? | ||
| And they don't. | ||
| Of course they don't. | ||
| They don't know what it means. | ||
| They don't know that it means like violent uprising against Israel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They just want to be able to take like an Instagram photo or tweet it out and like, look, here I am at this protest. | |
| I'm doing the cool thing. | ||
| I look really cute. | ||
| They say globalize the Intifada. | ||
| And if you ask them, They couldn't tell you. And a lot of them will say things | ||
| like, oh, it just means like to protest, it means rising up. And you're like, oh, so like, what is | ||
| the context of the first and second intifada? What happened then? And they're just like, oh, I | ||
| don't know. And you're like, do you want to talk about like the bus bombings and like the | ||
| people who were killed? Yeah, I didn't think you cared about any of that. And that was a lot of that was | ||
| even just recent. Like, wasn't it like a lot of early 2000s? | ||
| Yep, that's crazy. | ||
| If you look at the list of terror attacks in Israel, a lot of them kicked off in the 2000s. | ||
| Yeah, because you had Hamas went to war with Fatah in like a civil war in Gaza, and then Hamas won, and then they were elected to government, but it was after this like really brutal civil war. | ||
| And then you had a lot of the terrorist attacks happening. | ||
| at that time. Heavens, heavens, these protesters, oh no, they're they're demanding nothing. | ||
| They're demanding only things for themselves. | ||
| Well, it's it's just, you know, I don't live in New York anymore. And I kind of feel like this is | ||
| nuking Democrats and Biden. There's a lot of people who, you know, I've talked to recently, | ||
| and everyone, you know, we can point to the one of the most vocal figures in this Michael Rapoport, | ||
| who have just outright abandoned the Democrats over this. | ||
| And you know what we should do? | ||
| Let's jump to this next story, actually. | ||
| This is from Politico. | ||
| This is huge, and this is radioactive for Joe Biden. | ||
| Pro-Palestinian protests are backed by a surprising source, Biden's biggest donors. | ||
| Sorry, for anybody paying attention, it's not surprising in the least bit. | ||
| We assumed it already. | ||
| But thank you, Politico, for actually reporting it, which is weird, if you ask me. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Politico is coming outright and saying George Soros, Rockefeller, and Pritzker are funding the anti-Israel protests? | ||
| That is uncharacteristic of Politico. | ||
| I think the Deep State is throwing Biden under the bus. | ||
| Also too, and I think Biden is trying to throw Hunter Biden under the bus. | ||
| He faces gun charges in June. | ||
| I think they're perfectly happy to let him get slapped with a bunch of felonies, pretend their problems just get locked away. | ||
| They're like, your time's up, son. | ||
| Yeah, I think you're right. | ||
| I think the deep state is a little done with Biden. | ||
| He can't do anything, you know? | ||
| I mean, I don't know why they're mad. | ||
| It's the same thing as what Biden does, funding every side of a conflict. | ||
| I think you look at Republicans wanting to ban TikTok three, four years ago, or this is actually longer than that, right? | ||
| This is like four or five years ago? | ||
| Well, you had Trump did an executive order trying to ban TikTok. | ||
| It was like 2019, wasn't it? | ||
| And they blocked it. | ||
| And then I think what, and you know, at the time it was like, we don't like that TikTok is woke and it's pushing all this stuff on kids. | ||
| Now, I think what happens is with all this anti-Israel stuff, With Soros, Rockefeller, and Pritzker having funded this according to Politico, many of these organizations are saying, we don't fund it anymore. | ||
| Like, oops, they didn't know what they were backing. | ||
| I feel like the deep state's now looking at it being like, guys, Trump is, his people are more pro-Israel than the left. | ||
| and the Democrat funding has all soured, gone strongly anti-Israel. | ||
| The deep state's got no choice. | ||
| Trump's the only option for them. | ||
| Otherwise, what is Biden gonna do? | ||
| Biden suspends the ammo shipment to Israel. | ||
| The pier that they're constructing is canceled and moved from Gaza to Israel. | ||
| It was attacked. | ||
| It was attacked and then they said, oop, weather, we're moving. | ||
| Surprise, surprise. | ||
| I think Joe Biden is bending the knee to the Democrat voter base, which overwhelmingly disapproves of Israel. | ||
| And you can see now what they're funding. | ||
| And this means for your older Democrat voter who is pro-Israel, Democrats are screwed. | ||
| They're like Bill Ackman and Michael Rappaport and a lot of those guys. | ||
| Is he voting for Trump now? | ||
| Who, Bill Ackman? | ||
| No, Rappaport. | ||
| He keeps saying like it's on the table, but he has not said that he was going to. | ||
| Someone told me he did. | ||
| Did he say it? | ||
| I know, right? | ||
| Because I had been searching for it and waiting for it because that would be a really nice little story. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He is. | |
| No question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anybody that's voting for Biden at this point is a complete retard. | |
| Yeah, they're just, well, they're not paying attention. | ||
| They have no idea what's going on and Or they're far left, I guess. | ||
| I can only imagine that if you hate Israel and you're watching Joe Biden take these actions, you're happy. | ||
| The protesters are calling him Genocide Joe because they're out of their minds. | ||
| They're demanding all of these things and Biden is capitulating. | ||
| But for a lot of the people who actually do care, they're probably very happy with Joe Biden's actions as of late. | ||
| I think Joe Biden supporters are a very weird group right now because I don't know if any Democrats are like, I think he's a great president. | ||
| I definitely want to vote for him. | ||
| There's, you know, there's a portion you'll talk to Democrats who are like, well, I would never vote Republican. | ||
| So I guess I'm going with Biden because he's going to be on our ticket. | ||
| But then you get a wave of people who are like, I am a Democrat, I would never vote for Joe Biden either because of the economy or because of the Palestine conflict. | ||
| And so he doesn't have a huge pool of supporters who are like, he's handling this well. | ||
| His economic policy is extremely disheartening to most Americans, and then he looks incredibly weak doing anything on the geopolitical front, right? | ||
| Like, no one looks at Biden and says, that guy is a strong leader, I vote for him because I feel confident in his ability to survive the next four years. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It looks like elder abuse. | |
| It does, yeah. | ||
| It's rough. | ||
| They're already talking about the basement strategy again. | ||
| Well, yeah, they have to bring back this bird flu thing, and so that Joe Biden can actively just go into the Delaware basement. | ||
| I bet they never took the set down. | ||
| No, I mean, I bet he's been there the whole time, right? | ||
| He goes to Delaware basically every weekend. | ||
| I mean, he was just there, wasn't he? | ||
| He's there, like, a couple years ago, they did a report on it. | ||
| He is there for the majority of every weekend. | ||
| Remember when Trump was president, they were like, he is golfing this weekend. | ||
| He is hit terrible. | ||
| Meanwhile, Biden is actually gone all the time. | ||
| They're like, oh, wow, he deserves to rest. | ||
| on vacation, he's sitting there baking like some sort of, you know, boiled lobster on | ||
| the beach. And you have Trump when he goes on vacation, he is active. He's actively out | ||
| there exercising. You know, it's like that's actually very cool having a having a president | ||
| who's so fit. | ||
| One time Joe biked, but then he fell off. | ||
| He fell off the bike that was left. He looked like Kermit the Frog on the bike. | ||
| Do you think they just have Joe Biden hooked up to like stem cells 24-7? | ||
| Well, you saw the pictures of him when he had woken up from a nap and you could see | ||
| the outline of the what do you call it? The CPAP machine. | ||
| Remember? | ||
| you could like see it on his face. I think they must have him so fully dressed. | ||
| There was one where there was like tape on his hand for an IV or something. | ||
| Yeah, he had like a mark on his hand for like an IV or something. | ||
| I think that he must, I honestly, honestly believe this. I know I have nothing specific to base on, | ||
| but like I think the reason he has to go back to Delaware to one of his two residences is to get | ||
| medical treatment every weekend. I think that there is a reason that they're keeping it so secret. | ||
| And they made a big deal out of being like, the visitor law. | ||
| Yeah, he is a funny guy, right? | ||
| Yeah, and like the way they characterize the... I wasn't at the early fundraiser, I was at the later fundraiser, and he's just ad-libbing stand-up. | ||
| It's just improv. | ||
| You know, they have like one of those. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He looks weak and we need somebody strong like Trump. | |
| You met Trump. | ||
| I met Trump. | ||
| Yeah, you met Trump. | ||
| I met Trump the other day. | ||
| That's pretty cool. | ||
| He's a funny guy. | ||
| Yeah, he is a funny guy, right? | ||
| Yeah, and like the way they characterize the, uh, I wasn't at the early fundraiser. | ||
| I was at the later fundraiser and he's just ad-libbing stand up. | ||
| It's just improv. | ||
| He's just going up there and making jokes. | ||
| Everyone's laughing the whole time. | ||
| There was one point where he looks up at the at the balcony where like the patio of Mar-a-Lago and there's two guys talking totally unrelated to the event. | ||
| He's like, look at him! | ||
| Two people at my club, they're shaking heads. | ||
| They said, $10 billion deal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's like, that's what we're doing here. | |
| Everyone's having a good time. | ||
| And it's just, he's just silly. | ||
| It was just one big joke. | ||
| And he's critical of Biden and all that. | ||
| But then I read the press and they're like, Biden, you know, Trump is angry and frustrated and yelling. | ||
| I'm like, what? | ||
| He was goofing off the whole time. | ||
| I met him, he had a smile on his face and he was cracking jokes with everybody. | ||
| Did you see, um, I was watching, I think it's MSNBC, Lawrence O'Donnell, he was doing, this is like from two days ago, talking about Trump's trial in New York, and he was like, and Trump was so scared to see me, he freaked out! | ||
| He's gonna be like, you're so obsessed with him. | ||
| He's like, the next day I moved closer, but he didn't look at me. | ||
| Like, this is a live media presentation person who's so deranged and self-absorbed that they think that that's all Trump is thinking about. | ||
| Trump did not think about the person once. | ||
| No, Trump is an actual performer and comedian. | ||
| He's just living his life. | ||
| And again, he just derives such intense, I don't know, hatred from people who think he is, what, a threat to their livelihood? | ||
| You could still go on TV and yell at Trump if he was president, you know? | ||
| What I loved was how it turns out Biden is actually annoyed that foreign leaders and dignitaries keep coming to meet with Trump in New York. | ||
| And he's just he doesn't like that at all. | ||
| Yeah, but he's weak. | ||
| So why wouldn't they go for Trump? | ||
| I think if you look at You know, Mike Johnson, pro-Israel, funding war, Donald Trump's meeting with him. | ||
| I think Trump's gonna win. | ||
| I think the deals are happening behind the scenes to, like, unite with establishment forces and MAGA forces and say, look what you're getting with Joe Biden. | ||
| And you can call it a surrender, you can call it a compromise, but I think a bunch of the establishment forces are now realizing that Democrats were funding this, we warned them, and now Trump's probably laughing, being like, you had every opportunity to get behind me in 2020, and look what you've done to your foreign policy. | ||
|

|
He's gonna win because he already won, and anybody with a brain knows that. | |
| The last four years have been an absolute joke, and, uh, you know, but it was the most secure election in all of history. | ||
| Remember that, guys. | ||
| The most secure election. | ||
| I never remember anybody talking about secure elections when I was a kid. | ||
| It never came up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| And it was like they wanted to make sure you knew in advance, like, You know, it's like, before you show up to the bank, I just want to let you know, this bank is very secure. | ||
| And then you walk in, all the money's gone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And you're like, what? | ||
| And they're like, the money's there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, nothing suspicious happened in 2020 at all. | |
| It was just an amazing year for all of us collectively. | ||
| Probably one of the best years of our lives. | ||
| I think it was, uh, was it Kellyanne Conway on Bill Maher? | ||
| Did you see that clip? | ||
| No. | ||
| Where she said something to the effect of Trump won, and then Bill Maher's like, no, he didn't. | ||
| And then she's like, well, clearly he didn't. | ||
| Look, we're dealing with 20% inflation, 30% rent increases, 36% medical cost increases. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| Joe Biden's the president. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then he's like, we'll get to all those things. | |
| It's like, I saw that Bill Marchand deflect, we'll get to those issues and everyone laughs | ||
| and I'm like, no, you'll address them now. | ||
| The point is, Biden as president has just taken a dump all over the floor. | ||
| The Afghanistan collapse was insane. | ||
| There was no point for that. | ||
| Now we're dealing with massive inflation. | ||
| We're dealing people can't afford anything. | ||
| More importantly, we're dealing with all these insane stories about illegal immigration and young people can't afford to buy homes. | ||
| The crazy thing is, Nate Silver posted that poll, 18 to 29 year olds, their number one issue, immigration across all demographics. | ||
| Now, how does that happen? | ||
| Immigration? | ||
| 18 to 29? | ||
| Because they can't buy houses. | ||
| They can't get jobs. | ||
| They can't find a place to live, even a rent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's why they're all out there protesting, is because they can't find jobs. | |
| I'm telling you, if these people had good jobs, were making good money, could buy homes, they wouldn't be out there with poster boards. | ||
| Idle hands. | ||
| Devil's playground. | ||
| And you have in Michigan and all kinds of other places, you have landlords being given subsidies to rent to illegal immigrants. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And it's like, if I was trying to rent an apartment in New York, and these people who just got there, who just, like, crossed the border and got off the plane or the bus or whatever with their free stuff and no identification and whatever else, and they're getting, like, $500 free from the government? | ||
| It's like, without having to go through Section 8? | ||
| Let's jump to the story. | ||
| This is from the post-millennial. | ||
| Hims CEO walks back support for Gaza camp activists after stock loses $210 million. | ||
| Talk about the wrong side of history, my dude. | ||
| I love this story because it's two birds with one stone. | ||
| It's a double whammy. | ||
| So basically he said, where's a stupid quote? | ||
| He goes on to say, like, I didn't mean to support the violence or anything. | ||
| I'm talking about peaceful protesters. | ||
| So this is a guy from, what is it called, His and Hers or whatever? | ||
| Yeah, this is like the online wellness company. | ||
| So he puts out a post saying, like, if you are protesting, we'll hire you because, you know, we believe in it. | ||
| And then their stock starts tanking, right? | ||
| My dude, he only made it worse. | ||
| Moral courage is, this is his post, he said, moral courage is greater than a college degree. | ||
| If you're currently protesting against the genocide of the Palestinian people and for your university's divestment from Israel, keep going, it's working. | ||
| There are plenty of companies and CEOs eager to hire you regardless of university discipline. | ||
| Apply here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a lie. | |
| You want to know why they lost $210 million in stock? | ||
| The first reason is, I'll pause. | ||
| I'll put a hold in that one, and I'll come back to the number one reason. | ||
| The number two reason why they lost stock is because he's supporting these violent protesters who in Portland just admitted to torching 15 vehicles, threatened to torch more, and people are like, dude, you're supporting violence! | ||
| And so he tries to walk that back. | ||
| But it's actually really simple why he lost 210 million dollars. | ||
| Okay, I'll break it down for you. | ||
| When you say moral courage is more important than a college degree, Imagine a business that says, we here at Jim's Auto Mechanics don't care if you know how to fix a car, we care if you don't like Israel. | ||
| That's correct. | ||
| It's like, I'm not going to get my car fixed by a guy who doesn't know what he's doing but hates Israel, that makes no sense. | ||
| Him's hires people, this is his admission, there's a strong possibility, he's done this in the past, he's intending to do it in the future, and he tried to do it just now, they hire people who have no idea what they're doing simply because they hate Israel. | ||
| Okay, that- that does not a good company make, alright? | ||
| I'm not gonna go to a baker. | ||
| I'm not gonna- I'm not gonna go to a baker who has no experience baking, but hates Israel. | ||
| That just makes no sense. | ||
| Look, I think his shareholders should thank him. | ||
| At least he said it out loud, we're hiring people who aren't qualified. | ||
| And only screening them for politics. | ||
| There are a ton of companies, I'm looking at you Airbnb, who are probably doing this because it aligns with their politics, but it doesn't actually- but they're just pretending they're not doing it, you know? | ||
| They're not addressing it. | ||
| They saw him make the mis- the misstep and they're like, well, we'll just do it and not tell anyone. | ||
| At least this guy's being honest. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, even him to say moral courage, people have different morals. | |
| What if your morals are shitty, you know? | ||
| So it doesn't even make sense. | ||
| Yeah, what is moral courage? | ||
| Obviously, he's basically saying agreeing with me ideologically is more important than a college degree. | ||
| Because I gotta tell you, if the morals a person ascribes to were fascistic or white supremacist, he would not hire them. | ||
| And a guy coming out and being like, do you know how hard it is to espouse my views? | ||
| He's gonna beat up in the streets. | ||
| You gonna hire that guy? | ||
| Well, and he's not hiring Nick Sandman, the kid who got screamed at at that pro-life protest, right? | ||
| No Christians moral courage, just this moral courage. | ||
| That's an interesting thing, too, is you see these college kids out there with their crop tops getting down into the prayer pose for Islam, and they're praying to Allah, and you're like, If you saw a bunch of Christian kids out there praying on campus, they would be roundly mocked and vilified. | ||
| But if you're out there in crop tops showing off your body praying to Allah, somehow that's some kind of moral superiority. | ||
| They don't even believe in it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I also assumed it would be in some ways offensive to people who are practicing Islam. | ||
| I know when I was in Turkey and visited a mosque, you have to be covered. | ||
| That's part of, to them, showing respect to their culture and religion, right? | ||
| You can't have a crop top. | ||
| In an earlier segment, I broke this down as it pertains to college degrees, but for IRL audience members who have not heard that, I will explain to you. | ||
| to your ankles? Like, if that's how the standard they hold for themselves, why is it okay for | ||
| the privileged college students to get around it? | ||
| In an earlier segment, I broke this down as it pertains to college degrees, but for IRL | ||
| audience members who have not heard that, I will explain to you. If a person comes to | ||
| me and says, I'd like a job video editing, my qualifications are a college degree. | ||
| I'd say, okay. | ||
| Another person comes to me and says, I'd like a job. | ||
| My qualifications are, for the past four years I have run my own channel editing videos. | ||
| Here they are. | ||
| I'd go, interesting. | ||
| And then a third person comes to me and says, I would like a job video editing. | ||
| My qualifications are, I hate Israel. | ||
| I'd say, well, I need a video editor, not an activist, so your resume goes right in the trash. | ||
| And then between the college degree and the real world experience, yeah, I'm going to go with the person who's got a portfolio and has been working for four years, not someone in college. | ||
| So don't make that mistake. | ||
| I see that super chat already. | ||
| I'm not saying college degree is our skill, but certainly I understand that a person who went to college for video editing probably knows how to edit videos. | ||
| They just have a harder time competing with someone who's been working in the real world for four years. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| Now if you were to compare a college degree with someone who has no degree but just hates Israel, what is wrong with you? | ||
| You can't hire that person! | ||
| That makes literally no sense. | ||
| And there are plenty of ambitious college students who know what they want to do, they get the degree, and they also develop a really nice portfolio, work on the side. | ||
| It's being able to say, here is what I can produce, here is the deliverable product that is aligned with what you're looking for. | ||
| But, you know, for all of this, I feel like what HIMSS is also communicating is like, we actually don't care if you have any tangential related skill. | ||
| We prefer to know that we are hiring people who are involved in this. | ||
| And that seems crazy to me. | ||
| How is your business going to run? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I also think people just, you can, anyone can give themselves the term activist. | |
| I'm an activist. | ||
| You don't need a degree. | ||
| You don't need a job. | ||
| You're just like, I'm an activist. | ||
| An activist of what? | ||
| You can just put that in your bio and then. | ||
| That makes you sound more important. | ||
| I'd like to work for your company. | ||
| What's your qualifications? | ||
| I'm morally courageous. | ||
| What morals? | ||
| I'm not saying, but I am. | ||
| Hire me. | ||
| Well, but I think this guy figured out that it wasn't, in fact, that great for his business, and that's why he had to walk it out, walk it back, and show that he had absolutely no moral courage by any standards at all. | ||
| He didn't stand for what he said he believed in. | ||
| It's apparently still dropping. | ||
| I don't know, like the stock is still going out after hours trading and stuff like that. | ||
| I mean, if you really believe in it, he shouldn't have walked it back, you know? | ||
| He also should have learned the Bud Light lesson. | ||
| Do you know what I mean? | ||
| No, but he's more important than that. | ||
| He walked it back saying, like, I don't support violence, anti-Semitism, or intimidation. | ||
| I just mean, like, the peaceful protestors. | ||
| I just mean, like, the good part, y'all. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, the blowing up of cars and all of that. | |
| That's so peaceful. | ||
| But I mean, if we're talking about just the Columbia protesters, you mean like the telling Jewish students on some occasions that they can't enter the property or like the tearing down of barricades and fighting with police? | ||
| I mean, come on, dude. | ||
| These people are all standing arm in arm with each other. | ||
| They protect each other. | ||
| They call it a diversity of tactics. | ||
| Their slogan is respect the diversity of tactics. | ||
| That means if you disagree with someone's violence, you have to still support them in doing it because we all want it. | ||
| That's what they call it. | ||
| Diversity of tactics. | ||
| One group gets violent, and what would happen is, you'd have people at these protests, like Occupy Wall Street, for example, and the subsequent protests surrounding them, and they'd say, hey guys, stop fighting with cops, you're not helping. | ||
| And then they would all go, respect the diversity of tactics. | ||
| What is that? | ||
| That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. | ||
| Imagine you have like a general, it's like a war front, and he's like, if we go to the west, we'll be outflanked and destroyed, so we have to go north, through the forest, and then cut west and then south to flank our enemy. | ||
| And then someone goes, I know, how about we all do random things, and then we'll have a diversity of tactics and strategy. | ||
| They're going to be like, we'll lose in two seconds. | ||
| We need to focus our forces on a plan. | ||
| Well, you're not respecting their feelings. | ||
| They're not feeling encouraged or supported. | ||
| The real reason for the quote-unquote diversity of tactics is so that people who don't agree with violence are convinced to support violence because the real tactics and strategies of those who are organizing these things is to be violent. | ||
| And then when newbie activists show up and they're like, I don't know about fighting with cops, I'm like, well, you shouldn't. | ||
| And that's cool. | ||
| We respect you. | ||
| But you have to respect the diversity of tactics because not everybody does the same thing, right? | ||
| Right. | ||
| So we're going to need you to help us build this thing right here. | ||
| These people would go to these meetings where they're like, we're here to have a meeting. | ||
| And what they're doing at the meetings, they're making weapons. | ||
| They're making shields. | ||
| They're making clubs, too. | ||
| They're learning self-defense. | ||
| Like UCLA, at their Gaza camp, they had a time period where they were teaching each other self-defense using sticks and making shields out of garbage cans. | ||
| They were destroying that kind of stuff. | ||
| And meanwhile, what I think is so crazy is they don't know what they're demanding. | ||
| They say, you know, divest, but they don't really know even what that means. | ||
| And instead they're just, they're saying, you know, Meet with students. | ||
| Grant us amnesty. | ||
|
unidentified
|
These people are sad that they cannot buy homes and have jobs. | |
| That's what's happening here, okay? | ||
| But they don't know that they're sad about that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, they don't realize that, but that's what's happening. | |
| They don't have real jobs. | ||
| But this is what the Democrats have fomented. | ||
| And it's unfortunate. | ||
| But this is the reality. | ||
| And so the challenge then is you have these people who are ripped from the timeline, effectively, of what a human is supposed to do. | ||
| You're supposed to work from a young age. | ||
| This is really, really funny. | ||
| There was that Republican who said, you know, we want to get young people jobs. | ||
| And he was talking about 17-year-olds. | ||
| And I tweeted, ironically, that's what we need. | ||
| Kids need jobs. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| And the left takes it absolutely seriously. | ||
| Like I'm saying, five-year-olds should be in the mines. | ||
| And I'm like, well, if you're seven, maybe you help with the dishes or something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| If you're 10, now you're helping with the yard work. | ||
| You're 13, you're mowing the lawn, or whatever age makes sense. | ||
| I think I was mowing the lawn when I was like 10. | ||
| Like, yeah, you're supposed to do work. | ||
| There's supposed to be some job you do. | ||
| Back in the day, when we were small family-oriented communities, and your dad was like a farmer, the kids worked. | ||
| The kid would go and they'd be like, hey, go feed the chickens. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I mean, how can these people work when they're afraid of the air? | |
| Well, the issue is that they've never worked at all. | ||
| So, they go to school until they're 24. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's like... It is a while. | |
| Your development never happened. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| So, like, a kid is developing and learning how to survive in the world, but these college students are isolated in institutionalized learning facility bubbles, where they learn nothing. | ||
| They have no idea how to survive, and now they're angry, and they're just smashing things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Let me tell you a quick story. | ||
| You guys ever hear about that woman who was raised by wolves? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| There's like a bunch of instances. | ||
| They found a woman who, like a woman, they found like an eleven-year-old girl that was super long hair and filthy and living in the wilderness to some degree or something like that. | ||
| I should say there's numerous stories of this. | ||
| I think the more recent story is, there's a couple examples. | ||
| Remember that young girl who escaped the family house and she talked really weird? | ||
| So there was one woman A young girl was kept in the basement by her family or whatever, never learned to speak. | ||
| They could not teach her to speak. | ||
| By the time she was like 18, she could only say single words like, hungry. | ||
| and that you couldn't have a conversation with her because the neural pathways never formed for that kind of social | ||
| interaction. | ||
| These people who are in universities, I don't see how you course correct and say, | ||
| here's how you survive. | ||
| Here's how you work. | ||
| Here's how you work. Here's how you make money. Here's how you produce value. Here's how you get food. | ||
| The end result, of course, is they're going to be low IQ individuals who are not wired to survive properly | ||
| because they were placed in these boxes by this system of predatory loans just churning them in and out. | ||
| And now they're confused, angry, and purposeless, and this is what you get. | ||
| I think the desire for purpose is one of the biggest issues facing all of these people. | ||
| I think it faces a lot of Americans on both sides of the political spectrum and a lot of age groups, but to go back to your example of chores, kids at a young age feel gratified by completing small tasks, right? | ||
| They want to help, they're curious, they're looking for it, and if you are basically never giving them the chance to practice that. | ||
| I do something, I accomplish something, I feel good about myself, I develop the discipline to continue to take on more and more complex tasks, then of course they reach the end of these expensive degrees and are looking at themselves like, but what am I supposed to do now? | ||
| I thought I was supposed to just hang out and get to say what I wanted to and sort of live off mom and dad for the rest of my life. | ||
| I don't feel a lot of sympathy for any of these people because you could always have chosen a different way to | ||
| live. | ||
| But I do think that it's this overbearing sense of purposelessness that drives people into these causes | ||
| because they think this is where I'll feel like I'm needed and I get something, I'm validated, | ||
| I'm accomplishing something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it is that sense of community, but I do feel bad for them in the sense | |
| that it is hard to get a job. | ||
| You need to have all these years of experience. | ||
| We were kind of sold this lie that you go to college and then you graduate and then you'll be able | ||
| to get a really good job and then you'll be able to buy a house and you'll be able to afford to live. | ||
| And most of these people can't even afford like their own apartment. | ||
| Like a lot of people have roommates or you're just not able to get a job. | ||
| But I can I can respect the Gen Z-ers who are like, wow, I'm voting for Trump. | ||
| Can't afford to get an apartment. | ||
| Can't afford to find work. | ||
| College was a scam. | ||
| And now I realize what's happening with the illegal immigrants. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're waking up. | |
| And I think that it's through conversations like this, your show, that people are finding that people can wake up because I think a lot of these people who are so involved in this activism, maybe they haven't even | ||
| encountered a show like this, or they haven't even been able to hear outside opinions because | ||
| they're in an echo chamber that's like just make this poster, come to this event, you know, | ||
| you'll have community and group, you know what I mean? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's about compliance to like the overarching thematic mantra. | ||
| What do these college kids who aren't understanding, like what do they think life is supposed to | ||
| Honest question. | ||
| You know, they're like, okay, I'm 22, I'm gonna graduate with my bachelor's or whatever, and then I'm gonna try and find a job. | ||
| What do they think life is supposed to be like? | ||
| They've been promised a utopia. | ||
| But what does it mean? | ||
| Does it mean that a company says you're hired and they hang out playing video games all day and they gossip with their friends? | ||
| I was watching this viral TikTok from some woman. | ||
| She's in her late 20s and she was talking about what Gen Z does in the workplace. | ||
| And she was like, Gen Z will, in the middle of a meeting, start talking about gossip and trending topics on TikTok. | ||
| And then we have to be like, can you please stop? | ||
| And they don't realize what they're doing. | ||
| They use words that are like, Specific to internet communities that don't exist in the mainstream or in the public and people are just like, what are you saying? | ||
| What are these words and why are you saying them? | ||
| They've been taught that they should be able to be themselves at work. | ||
| Well, it's not anyone who's had a job. | ||
| They're acting like internet characters in person in business meetings. | ||
| And they're acting like real life is the internet in that I think the trending topics thing is really interesting. | ||
| Gen Z kids who graduate college and get these entry-level jobs will be in the middle of a meeting and then they'll be like, did you hear about what's going on at the Met? | ||
| Did you hear about the dress that Zendaya was wearing? | ||
| And they're like, uh, we're going over sales reports right now. | ||
| Like, why is this? | ||
| Well, because when you live your whole life on TikTok and everything's a split second, fast, fast, fast move, next subject, next subject, they're starting to imitate that in real life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I mean, it kind of makes sense. | |
| You have to think about what happened four years ago, and everybody was like locked down in their homes, and people were not allowed to say certain things. | ||
| Even now, there's certain things you can't speak about, and so you're kind of being dictated by the algorithm, you know? | ||
| And it takes, there are a few brave people that are speaking out against it, but it's kind of hard when it's all... | ||
| The algorithm kind of tells people what to think and do, and it's like, oh, how much of what you're posting online is what you actually want to post? | ||
| Or, you know, oh, if I post this picture in a certain way, this is going to get likes, and that's going to give me this validation. | ||
| And at the end of the day, people want to feel validated in some way, and they're not getting paid enough at work to be able to To have a real life. | ||
| I think they can be stuck on the internet. | ||
| They can have economic frustrations. | ||
| I think we can talk about how difficult the economy is. | ||
| We can talk about that, like, this false promise of the bachelor's degree will set you up to immediately be part of a successful middle class lifestyle. | ||
| But I think for me, ultimately, what I would love to ask any of these people, especially college graduates at more liberal institutions, is what are your goals? | ||
| Like, what are your ambitions? | ||
| Because so many of them are like, well, I don't want to have kids. | ||
| I don't want to have, you know, Traditional life. | ||
| I don't want to be like my parents. | ||
| What are you hoping to achieve? | ||
| When you get this degree, when you go out into the workforce, when you start developing a life as an adult, what are you after? | ||
| Because I think without some kind of like small, not having a family small, but having personal ambition, you get lost. | ||
| You seek your identity in these big causes that you ultimately don't really have any connection to. | ||
| I think that's it. | ||
| You watch these videos of these people who graduated, and what they're actually saying, many of them, not all of them, but many of them, is that, I was told to go to school, I was told to get a degree, I did, I'm done, now what? | ||
| What they're really saying is, I did everything I was told to do, and I'm sitting here wondering what's next, and I have no idea. | ||
| I watched this video today of a girl, I think she said she was like 31 or 32, and she was saying like, I don't care about relationships because I was in this long one and it didn't work out, and I don't want to have kids so I don't want to get married, and I'm earning all this money and I can spend it on myself so none of this matters to me, and I don't actually care about being alone. | ||
| First off, why did you go on the internet and justify your lifestyle choices? | ||
| But okay. | ||
| And on top of that, so your whole existence revolves around indulging the self. | ||
| You know, okay, but how are you going to do that? | ||
| Do you find fulfillment through volunteering with your community? | ||
| No, she just seems to only live in a materialist world, and I think that falls apart. | ||
| I don't think people find that a fulfilling way to live. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I feel like I, in some ways, I do kind of relate to these students. | |
| I mean, I did go to university. | ||
| I went to Washington State University. | ||
| My degree is in broadcast journalism with minor political science. | ||
| When I graduated, I first moved down to San Diego, I applied for 33 jobs and I could not get hired. | ||
| And you have to imagine this is like 13 years ago and the world wasn't as accepting as it is today. | ||
| So I really truly believe that because I have a disability. | ||
| I'm 4 foot 6, 75 pounds, I have spina bifida. | ||
| I felt like the workforce people looked down on me in that way so I couldn't get hired. | ||
| So then I became a stand-up comedian. | ||
| To where I could speak, finally speak about it, right? | ||
| And that gave me a lot of confidence and courage to kind of find this like purpose and now here we are eight years later and the world has changed so much that it's like, it's been kind of an interesting thing for me to see people in their bios talk about like having a disability or having like a mental illness and now the world's gone from, you know, being Not accepting at all than to being overly accepting and I think people want to be victims, you know, you want this like I'm a victim, but we have to have a way for people to pivot out of that and you know, it's still be an individual but | ||
| The way to do it is by focusing on your own life, not on these activisms for a country that's... We need to focus on what's happening here in America, what's happening at home, with your own self. | ||
| But that's the thing, when you get out of college and you don't have a plan... | ||
| You don't think about life? | ||
| Like, you go back a hundred, two hundred years. | ||
| We always talk about this because it's the modern industrialized world and then the information world that has caused this, but everybody knew what their grandparents did. | ||
| They're watching their parents, they're watching their grandparents, and they're thinking like, I know what I'm going to do. | ||
| And when I'm this old, gotta have a family. | ||
| Everyone's having families. | ||
| Okay, then I'm gonna buy a house, then we're gonna move in, then I'm gonna find a good job, then the kids are gonna go to school, and that's the plan. | ||
| But the left openly despises all of that. | ||
| There's that video where the guy's like, I'm going to work, then I'm working out, then I'm coming home, and they're like, I'm so disturbed and shocked. | ||
| They graduate college and then after that they think life is going to be, and now I sit in my room, wake up at noon, smoke pot, masturbate, and go back to bed. | ||
| They think that's life. | ||
| And they also think that, you've seen the videos too, where somebody just gets an entry-level job and they're horrified that they have to do entry-level things at their entry-level job because they think that they should really be so much more qualified that they get a management position. | ||
| You know, when I took a year off from college and I think I worked like seven jobs that year. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And I started out that year like looking for a good job, and I ended up working at fast food. | ||
| And then I worked at a series of like, there was like fast food, there was a record store, | ||
| there was a bookstore, there was a hat shop. | ||
| I just took whatever job I could get. | ||
| And after college, I took whatever job I could get. | ||
| I was making like my first real job out of college in my field, I was making $16,000 a year. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like, I couldn't afford anything either. | ||
| But the question I have for these Gen Z people who, in the workplace, are adopting Internet personalities and bringing those in, is the workplace going to manage to mold these Gen Z-ers into reasonable people in society, or is Gen Z going to mold the workplace so that we all have to fit in with that? | ||
| Because they're going to get older, they're going to take over these companies. | ||
| Well, to be fair, maybe not. | ||
| Maybe they collapse, a lot of these companies. | ||
| Like HIMS? | ||
| Yeah, like this is a guy who is, he's an activist first, a meritist worker second, and so you see people like this. | ||
| As you shift more and more into this activist ideological realm based on social media trends, you're going to get CEOs, and we've seen with Bud Light, Millennials, like when activist Millennials and then activist Gen Z, because a lot of Gen Z is getting more based, move into these companies and they're going to be sitting down saying, it doesn't matter if you're factually right, it matters if you're morally right. | ||
| And the other person's going to be like, yeah, moral courage is more important than a college degree. | ||
| Then it's gonna be a sock company, and they're gonna make products that are just weird, twisted balls of yarn that don't do anything, and they're gonna be like, yeah, but it's the feeling and the ideas behind it, and then no one buys it. | ||
| And they give free ones to the homeless. | ||
| Yeah, I was gonna say, you do see a rise in these retail companies that are like, if you buy one of our products, we'll donate whatever this project is to whoever needs it. | ||
| Yeah, there's Bomba's does that. | ||
| Bomba's does that, and then Tom's. | ||
| Destroying the world. | ||
| You know how Tom's destroyed the economies in Africa, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So there were, so Tom's Shoes said, for every pair of shoes you buy, we will give a pair to someone in need or whatever. | ||
| So, correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a long time since we've talked about this, but basically what happens is, they start giving free shoes away, and then the cobblers in these villages are out of work instantly, and now they have no jobs and they can't buy anything. | ||
| So then the farmer is like, I'm not selling as much as I used to. | ||
| Well, it's because the cobbler doesn't have any money because everyone's got free shoes. | ||
| So then the bread maker starts struggling because he's like, now I've lost a couple of my big customers or a couple of people that I made food for. | ||
| Now I'm not getting the money I need for the supplies to make the bread and the economy starts collapsing because you're dumping free product into it. | ||
| That happened with all of the Goodwill stuff that was going to Africa as well. | ||
| It would like show up on the West Coast of Africa and like all of these old t-shirts and so what started happening was the people that made clothes, the local tailors and stuff, all stopped Making clothes, because there was all this free clothes. | ||
| And now if you look too, like then what started happening is people who do make clothes, they started making clothes out of old t-shirts instead of clothes out of like fabric that was being made locally, you know, in the communities. | ||
| It's really a shame that we've done that. | ||
| And we've done that because we are compassionate. | ||
| And our compassion is totally a weapon that we use to destroy ourselves. | ||
| Our nation, other nations. | ||
| You know, the best way to be compassionate is to allow people their dignity. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And it's used against us, right? | ||
| All of these companies adopt this, if you buy from us, we're doing something good and whatever, to make you buy the product, especially people who are sort of like activist, progressive minded. | ||
| They'll say, oh, well, maybe I wouldn't have bought this product, but I'm definitely going to buy it because it's justified. | ||
| It's making activism a reason to sell. | ||
| I don't think it's actually genuinely thinking through, like, How can we best serve these communities? | ||
| Maybe a couple of the companies are, I don't want to generalize too intensely. | ||
| But again, it speaks to how this overarching idea of like signaling that you are an activist who cares about the right causes is becoming so interwoven into every aspect of our lives that of course Gen Z college kids can't get away from it and think this is their big ticket into a successful life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think that activism is an escapism from your own life and maybe your own failures. | |
| So if you can kind of, you know, go to this protest, you don't have to, like, look at the fact that... You're failing out. | ||
| You're failing is your life. | ||
| They don't have to go to class, you know? | ||
| They're like, I could just go to this protest. | ||
| What young people don't understand is that you don't need a job to make money. | ||
| You need to find a way to trade with people to get things of value. | ||
| I love that story because there's a story about a guy who traded a paperclip for a house. | ||
| And there's actually a bunch of stories that it's been replicated over and over again. | ||
| It's this thing that people do to track and make a game of it. | ||
| They start with paperclip and they go door to door and say, I've got a paperclip that | ||
| I'd like to trade for something. | ||
| And then the guy trades the paperclip for like post-it notes. | ||
| Then he trades the post-it notes for a pack of pens. | ||
| Then he trades the pack of pens for, like, a notebook. | ||
| Then he trades the notebook for, like, a broken bicycle. | ||
| Then he trades the broken bicycle for a broken lawnmower. | ||
| And then, eventually, he ends up trading for an actual house. | ||
| A broken down, you know, cruddy house, but a house nonetheless. | ||
| And the point was, like, Trade is basically, it's like arbitrage. | ||
| It's putting things where they need to be and taking things from people where they don't need and sending it to someone who does need it. | ||
| Young people don't get this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it's because they've been sold this lie. | |
| Like, you go to school and then you get out and you'll be able to just get a job right away. | ||
| When I first graduated, I felt like my first years in the real world, I called it my freshman year of the real world, and now I'm in my sophomore year of the real world, and it's totally just not what you think it's going to be. | ||
| You know it's really just sold as this you go to school and then you're gonna graduate and you're gonna get a good job that's gonna pay you a value and then you end up working in a nine-to-five driving in traffic for an hour and a half and wanting to kill yourself. | ||
| Yeah, I remember how miserable my first job out of college was and part of it was I don't think I had completely determined like what I wanted to be doing. | ||
| Because like Tim is saying, ultimately what you're saying to an employer is I have these skills and in exchange for my skills you give me these monies. | ||
| But you have to develop skills you're actually interested in exercising every day. | ||
| You know, I have a couple of friends who have gotten, you know, like consulting jobs out of college and they burn out not because they're not talented and able to achieve things, but because ultimately they're working on projects that they are not very engaged with and there isn't an amount of money that you could pay them to feel fulfilled to work the crazy hours that are being demanded. | ||
| But there's another piece of it too that I think we're forgetting and that is that there is dignity in just doing a job and doing the job well. | ||
| So it's like if you take a job and it's not your favorite job, but you enjoy working You enjoy working for your living, you enjoy taking home a paycheck, you enjoy paying your own way, then it's worth it. | ||
| It doesn't matter what the job is, if you do it well and you're satisfied with your income and it's good working conditions, then that's worth your time. | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| Let's jump to this next story. | ||
| We got this from The Independent. | ||
| Leaked audio reveals Trump discussing his vice presidential picks. | ||
| The former president surprisingly did not mention some major contenders like Vivek Ramaswamy. | ||
| Independent Report's new audio recorded at private lunch reveals Donald Trump's thoughts about his potential picks for a running mate in the 2024 election. | ||
| The audio, obtained by Axios, was recorded during Mr. Trump's high-profile GOP event at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Saturday. | ||
| Attendees included major Republican donors and many contenders for vice president. | ||
| Mr. Trump's top picks for a running mate include several senators, representatives, governors, and former presidential candidates. | ||
| Other expected contenders for Mr. Trump's running mate weren't discussed at all, according to Axios. | ||
| Entrepreneur and former 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was not mentioned, according to the Axios report, despite attending the event. | ||
| Take a look at this! | ||
| What do we got here? | ||
| Do they mention who's in that list? | ||
| No, they don't. | ||
| The governor, so they say Kristi Noem, governor of South Dakota, got a shout-out at the lunch, according to leaked audio. | ||
| That comes as no surprise. | ||
| Somebody that I love, Mr. Trump, said of Ms. | ||
| Noem, she's been with me, a supporter of mine, and I've been a supporter of hers for a long time. | ||
| The governor is a longtime ally of Mr. Trump, blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| So here's this photo. | ||
| Okay, well, look, there's Blagojevich. | ||
| Everybody remembers him, right? | ||
| And I think that's Byron Donalds, and Mike Johnson's there, and Bergam was there. | ||
| We got Vivek right behind Trump. | ||
| Vance is in that picture. | ||
| I see Vance back there. | ||
| Yeah, JD Vance is there. | ||
| So actually, while this is going on, I had no idea, and I was sitting at the pool at Mar-a-Lago, and just, I had an Arnold Palmer, and I was going swimming, and I was watching Cody Dennison race, Arca Racing, NASCAR, on Fox Sports 1, and had no idea that literally, just like, on the other side of the building, you know, Trump and everybody's hanging out. | ||
| So what ended up happening is I get a message like, Hey, did you see the president? | ||
| And I was like, ah, I knew he was coming down to Florida. | ||
| So he was here, but I didn't realize they were doing something like this. | ||
| So I was with Luke Rutkowski and my girlfriend and I was like, I don't have a suit or anything. | ||
| Cause they won't like, you have to, after five, you have to wear a jacket and a suit or whatever. | ||
| And then I was like, should we go get clothes? | ||
| And I was like, I guess. | ||
| Like, what are we doing, you know? | ||
| I got to meet Trump. | ||
| It was great. | ||
| And I got to talk to a lot of people at this second half of the fundraiser. | ||
| So I will tell you this. | ||
| As I'm walking in, I saw Burgum, and then I see Blagojevich, and I was like, oh man, I'm from Chicago, so I know all about it. | ||
| I wanted to say something. | ||
| Saw Mike Johnson sitting in a room talking with somebody. | ||
| And at the fundraiser, there were conversations being had. | ||
| And so I will just say this. | ||
| If Donald Trump chooses Marco Rubio as his vice president, I believe he wins the 2024 race. | ||
| I think Rubio's a good choice as well. | ||
| I'm not saying he's a good choice. | ||
| Yeah, I think he's a good choice to win the election. | ||
| I'm saying that for reasons unrelated to the election, completely outside of whether anyone likes Rubio or not, if Donald Trump picks Marco Rubio as VP, it means he is going to win the election. | ||
| Why do you think so? | ||
| Because it implies Donald Trump cut a deal with Oh, the establishment republicans. | ||
| Establishment forces. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they're basically, which includes Democrats. | ||
| And they're basically saying, OK, you bring Rubio in, you work with Mike Johnson, we get | ||
| our wars, we get all this, then you're president. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The issue with that is it sets him up for 2028 to go into the White House himself. | ||
| Rubio? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I think that's why people so many people are backing Vance right now. | ||
| They'd like to see Vance be the next. | ||
| I mean, I think this is what a Trump presidency means for the Republican Party, who is going to be the heir apparent to this legacy that he's built. | ||
| Vance doesn't give him anything, though, in the election. | ||
| The rumor is, among high-profile Trump-affiliated people, Rubio is already the choice. | ||
| I don't I don't I've been hearing behind the scenes myself. | ||
| Yes. But I hear it all the time. I will say it would be an effective choice and the vice president doesn't actually do | ||
| anything. So and the so not that anybody who was talking to me said, hey, | ||
| don't repeat this. But But basically the word that was going around and the word that's been going around, | ||
| especially with people who have come on this show before. And people | ||
| that I know it's he's already picked Rubio. | ||
| And I'm like, okay, that's not true. | ||
| Like, I don't know for a fact that's the case. | ||
| It's a rumor people are claiming that Trump already picked Rubio. | ||
| And what they're arguing is that Rubio is basically cutting backroom deals. | ||
| I shouldn't call it backroom deals. | ||
| He's cutting deals for funding With big DeSantis donors. | ||
| DeSantis, of course, coming out saying he's going to back Trump. | ||
| I think that's what happened, right? | ||
| Did DeSantis endorse Trump? | ||
| He said that he was going to go out on the campaign trail, I'm pretty sure. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he did before say, like, of course I'll back the nominee. | ||
| And now you've got people who back DeSantis are backing Trump. | ||
| The rumor is Rubio is basically pulling all these forces together. | ||
| Trump said you'll be the VP. | ||
| If that is true, this is why I'm saying, I don't know that it's true. | ||
| It's just people muttering behind the scenes. | ||
| That's why I'm like, if we get an announcement that Rubio is the choice, Trump's winning. | ||
| Unrelated to the election, there's deals in place with the establishment. | ||
| The thing, too, though, is I've heard stories about Rubio as well, that he's probably going to be the choice or that he's definitely in the lead. | ||
| We've been talking about that. | ||
| But the other thing, too, is people who don't like it, who are definitely hardcore MAGA populist side, They're looking for a kind of purity in politics that doesn't exist. | ||
| And it's really a mistake to start believing that politics has a purity. | ||
| And that's what people did with Obama. | ||
| That's how they essentially deified Obama. | ||
| And that didn't do anything good for the country. | ||
| It didn't do anything good for the presidency. | ||
| You always have to remember that deals are important. | ||
| That's why when they pushed McCarthy out, the first thing I thought was, McCarthy knows how to play ball. | ||
| He knows how to make these deals. | ||
| He's not swayed the way Mike Johnson, for example, is swayed. | ||
| It was much harder to push McCarthy around. | ||
| Because he's a guy who's making deals. | ||
| They brought Mike Johnson into the secure. | ||
| Into the skiff. | ||
| They impressed him. | ||
| They impressed him with his own importance. | ||
| They impressed him with an aluminum baseball bat being banged on the floor. | ||
| And then he walked out and said, wow, what a meeting. | ||
| I get it now. | ||
| McCarthy loved that job, right? | ||
| All McCarthy ever wanted to do was be speaker. | ||
| He loved it. | ||
| And so he was good at it. | ||
| And he was playing both sides against everybody. | ||
| I think with the Israel stuff, there is a strong possibility that Trump has already met with establishment groups and donors, effectively cutting a deal with the deep state that they'll get their Israel support. | ||
| He's the most pro-Israel candidate there is. | ||
| And if they go with Biden, they're screwed. | ||
| And so this is if you you can call it deep state surrender, perhaps. | ||
| I think it's probably more of a negotiation than a compromise in business where Trump's like, look, we're going to get what we want. | ||
| We want domestic policy. | ||
| I'm going to fulfill my promises. | ||
| But you'll get your Israel support. | ||
| You'll get your Ukraine war. | ||
| And this gives Trump plausible deniability. | ||
| When he inherits Biden's Ukraine war, he will call it that the whole time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just think it's so sad how our vote doesn't really seem to matter at all. | |
| I think part of it is- I think it does. | ||
| I think the vote does matter. | ||
| I think you have to participate anyways. | ||
| You can't say the election's not working if you also didn't participate. | ||
| That's not how this works. | ||
| I will say, I think a lot of our perspectives on all of this is warped by the media's presentation. | ||
| Even in this Daily Mail article, and it's a British publication, they're saying, well, top contenders were left off the lifts, like Vivek Ramaswamy. | ||
| We just know Vivek is, you know, who has been really interesting. | ||
| He had a very explosive influence on the Republican primary process. | ||
| You know, he's an internet favorite. | ||
| We don't actually know that he was ever on any list for Trump, even though he is potentially someone people would like to see more involved with the Republican Party. | ||
| So, of course, Rubio's been around for a lot longer, he has more of an establishment feel. | ||
| I think that there's every chance in the world that he is a potential VP pick, but I just don't think we can know officially until we hear something from Trump himself. | ||
| Because I remember, It was after South Carolina, I can't remember, there was a night that Trump was on the campaign trail and Burgum had spoken at one of his rallies. | ||
| And Trump was like, oh, we all know who the VP is going to be. | ||
| And immediately the next day, everyone was like, oh, it's Burgum. | ||
| Like every once in a while, Trump gives us this hint and people are like, haha, I know. | ||
| But, you know, you don't know until Donald Trump has spoken. | ||
| The rumor among many people at this event was these were tryouts. | ||
| That the reason all these people were there is that they were his top picks for who his VP might | ||
| be. And he was basically holding tryouts. So to see the independent then come out later and be like, | ||
| Trump openly discussing potential VP picks, I will say it's getting late. It's like, | ||
| I think that it behooves him to keep the VP thing longer, because I think we've talked about this | ||
| for like, the longer he has lots of potential VPs, the more acolytes he can send out to campaign on | ||
| He is still making it to campaign events basically on Wednesday when his trial in New York isn't happening. | ||
| But again, it's better for him for all of us to be wondering and want to see what everyone says. | ||
| I mean, I saw a clip of Tim Scott being interviewed this weekend. | ||
| People occasionally throw Tim Scott around as a potential. | ||
| You know, Chrissy Noem was out there. | ||
| Chrissy Noem was out there. | ||
| She's having a rough time. | ||
| She's having her weird moment. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know how her tryouts are going is all I'm going to say, but you know, but she has been dedicated to Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I think the only mistake she made was she killed the puppy, which is fine, but she should have ate it afterwards. | |
| And then I could have respected it as a, you know, Asian, I do eat dogs. | ||
| So if she would have killed it and then ate it, I'd been like, Hey, I'm for that. | ||
| I mean the argument then would be like, it was a farm animal that we ate, you're all | ||
| uh, you're offensive for criticizing my decision to eat an animal. | ||
| But uh, the argument was that it was killing chickens and had bit people, and so she had | ||
| to put it down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, see I can't get down with that. | |
| If she would have killed it and ate it, then we'd be like all for her. | ||
| Look, I'm gonna tell you, I now want to read her book. | ||
| I feel like I have to know what happened because there's also like other stories that are coming out that like she's saying all kinds of stuff. | ||
| She has been incredibly devoted to Trump for a long time and I think this is also where the VP race becomes interesting because again, like I said, more than anything I think people feel like the VP is going to be who Trump taps as his heir apparent to the MAGA movement because he can't run again. | ||
| Like if he wins, this is it, which is also interesting. | ||
| But I think that there are, it's tricky because he is sort of on trial still. | ||
| Are you guys hearing a weird thing? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Someone's cell phone or something? | ||
| I'll take mine off the table. | ||
| It's gone. | ||
| Oh, good. | ||
| I'm interrupting myself with my own cell phone. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I wonder if Trump will announce, like, I think he will drag this out for as long as possible, right? | ||
| There are tons of people that could still, maybe last minute, come on stage. | ||
| Trump takes one meeting over there, this one guy gives a good interview in his favor, and then he's seen at Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| Like, the drama of the VP adds a level to this presidency that, you know, other campaigns just don't have. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think he should make me his vice president, because I'm a landslide Lila, and if he made me his vice president, we would win. | |
| That's just... | ||
| Well, what's your platform? | ||
| What's your big issue? | ||
|
unidentified
|
My big issue is just being awesome. | |
| So just vote for me. | ||
| Oh, that's a winning ticket. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, exactly. | |
| That's like Melania's Be Best thing. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| That was her first lady initiative. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Be Best! | |
| To be honest, what works in politics is simplicity because you want to go for the lowest common denominator. | ||
| So coming out, you know, you make a campaign ad. | ||
| This is why they don't do it. | ||
| You make a campaign ad where it's like, Donald Trump argued for a budget increase of 17% targeting border crossings with CBP and ICE working together, and people are like, huh? | ||
| But if you make a video where it's like, Trump says build a wall, everyone's like, well, okay, I get that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I understand this. | |
| I totally understand what you're doing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My slogan would be, I may be small, but I can make a big difference. | |
| I love it. | ||
| Yeah, that's great. | ||
| People would remember that. | ||
| That's like beauty pageant level stuff. | ||
| Well, she gave her beauty pageant smile right after. | ||
| That was it. | ||
| That was the one. | ||
| But you guys think I, I don't want to believe it will be Rubio. | ||
| Because like, when I first heard the rumor, I was like, Oh, that's it. | ||
| It's over. | ||
| Like the dream has come to an end. | ||
| If he picks Rubio, it's basically like MAGA is done. | ||
| You have to remember that politics is politics. | ||
| I mean, it's not politics does not have a greater meaning. | ||
| Politics is not something to sink your purpose in life into. | ||
| You know, it's a bunch of people vying for power. | ||
| Some of them have some decent ideas. | ||
| Sometimes something good happens. | ||
| But mostly, it's a bunch of people vying for power. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I think MAGA is great, but we should change it to MABA, okay? | |
| Which is Make All Buildings Accessible. | ||
| Ooh, interesting. | ||
| You really are campaigning to be VP over there. | ||
| Yes, I am, I am. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look, I even have my campaign shirt. | |
| See? | ||
| Landslide Lila! | ||
| Vote for me! | ||
| I think... | ||
| I think people put other people on pedestals. | ||
| And, you know, seeing Trump at Mar-a-Lago—and I shouldn't even—it's not even so much about Trump. | ||
| It's about all the people that's passed through our studio rooms from, you know, the smallest personality to the biggest. | ||
| There are people who live in this world where they live in a class system of their own mind. | ||
| And, you know, like seeing Trump at Mar-a-Lago and the way people behave around him, it's just like, Dignify yourselves, gentlemen, please. | ||
| Like, Trump is a guy. | ||
| He's a billionaire. | ||
| He's a former president. | ||
| There's a lot of things that he is. | ||
| But ask yourselves, why are you bothering him? | ||
| Like, why would you walk up to him and just try to tell him your life story? | ||
| I don't get this. | ||
| And it's not just of him. | ||
| Yeah, this is what people do. | ||
| You see this happen at parties. | ||
| People do this to you. | ||
| They approach you and they're like, oh, it's you. | ||
| And for me, but for many other people, the idea is like, I must tell you this thing. | ||
| And everyone's trying to hand him stuff. | ||
| I'm not just talking about him. | ||
| I'm talking about literally everybody. | ||
| You go to Mar-a-Lago, and you see the guy sitting down eating dinner and walking around, and it's no different than literally anybody else, okay? | ||
|
unidentified
|
But how was he when he met you? | |
| What did he say to you? | ||
| He just said I had a great face. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love that. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| He said, someone said, you know, Tim's one of the biggest influencers on YouTube, and he goes, well, how could he not be? | ||
| You know, look at his face! | ||
| That's basically what he said. | ||
| And then he said he was the biggest influencer, and it was funny. | ||
| But I see someone like Trump and I get it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But what I genuinely don't understand when it comes to any politics and personalities is like, what do you think this person is going to do for you? | ||
| When you went up to a celebrity, when there's this one really great video, Logan Paul, he's awesome. | ||
| I'm a big fan. | ||
| Logan Paul is like backstage at an event, this was years ago, and some guy's like, Logan, man, I really want to work for you. | ||
| And he's like, I get it, I get it. | ||
| You snuck backstage and now you want to, yeah, okay, man. | ||
| Like, well, I don't, like, you got to do it for yourself. | ||
| You got to work hard. | ||
| And the guy I think is like crying or something. | ||
| And I'm like, what is Logan going to do for you? | ||
| Why, why, why are people, it's like, they live in this, this reality of class hierarchy where they put other people on pedestals. | ||
| And the reason I bring this up is, When you work alongside big names, when you're on the phone negotiating interviews, when you're booking celebrities, it's just a bunch of people. | ||
| No different than literally anything else, but everyone is acting like you will get something. | ||
| I just genuinely don't understand. | ||
| People need to understand that When Donald Trump is sitting down in the White House talking about foreign policy, it's the same thing as you and your buddies talking about foreign policy. | ||
| Granted, they have classified information. | ||
| I get that. | ||
| I was talking about with juries and judges, especially with Trump right now. | ||
| People think that judges are like these learned, intelligent individuals who are oh so smart, and that they're going to sit before you and say, the two women are fighting for the baby. | ||
| There must be a fair solution to figure out whose baby really belongs to these women. | ||
| Women, we will cut the baby in half, and you will each get a half. | ||
| And then the one woman goes, no, no, my baby! | ||
| And the other woman goes, good, aha! | ||
| Now we have successfully determined who actually is the mother of the baby. | ||
| That's not how judges are. | ||
| Judges are like the same thing as your next-door neighbor. | ||
| Imagine you and your wife are arguing over, you know, who's gonna walk the dog, and you ask your neighbor to figure it out. | ||
| You're gonna be like, my neighbor doesn't know anything about us. | ||
| Congratulations, judges don't either. | ||
| This is literally what it is. | ||
| So when you're dealing with politics, whether it's Mike Johnson or literally anybody else, imagine your next-door neighbor standing in front of an FBI guy who's like, well, we have to arrest these people because they're terrorists. | ||
| What would your neighbor say? | ||
| When you see these people in these videos who are like, but Trump is bad, that's no different than the people working at any of these bureaucracies and in government. | ||
| You see Donald Trump, he's a smart guy, he's a successful guy, but that's what he is. | ||
| He's a guy. | ||
| And he's a guy that everybody thinks is funny and he's charismatic. | ||
| But it's like... | ||
| People follow around, politicians assuming, and celebrities that, I don't know, by talking to them you'll get something? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, you know, it's interesting that you bring up the Logan Paul video because I saw that video that you're talking about where the guy sneaks backstage and talks to him. | |
| And my take on it is I would want to actually hire somebody that is like that because I'm like, wow, this person is a huge fan of me, follows everything that I do, would probably work their ass off to work for me just because they've, you know, been such a fan and I would- I would NOT. | ||
| Be inclined to hire someone who snuck into an event to try and get a job. | ||
| I'd be inclined to call the police to have them arrested. | ||
|
unidentified
|
See, I think it's kind of badass. | |
| I'm like, you know what? | ||
| Sometimes people, you have to get in how you can get in. | ||
| No way. | ||
| I think it's fucking cool. | ||
| I gotta tell you, there's been a lot of places where I was actually told I wasn't invited, couldn't go, and I made my way in, and I met somebody, and I got connected, and then, you know, it all worked out, and now here I am on Tim Pool. | ||
| After the first $300,000 in security costs, you eventually say no. | ||
| And you're like, dude, we asked you politely not to do this because it like, it destroys what we're doing. | ||
| And then the idea that, you know, there are people who try to pull this off. | ||
| We had an event in Miami, and people snuck in, and the security guards were like, there is no scenario where this works out well for you for what you did. | ||
| You should just go now. | ||
| And they're like, yeah, okay, I'm sorry. | ||
| And they leave. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, you've got good security, so that's a good person to keep. | |
| When you're dealing with death threats, when you're dealing with bomb threats, when you're having to evacuate your studio, you're involved. | ||
| It doesn't even matter. | ||
| Celebrities have it worse than people in politics do. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| There's not a reality where it's like, congratulations, you just violated all of our security protocols. | ||
| We're going to lose our insurance now if I hire you. | ||
| Yeah, it's not happening. | ||
| A lot of people don't understand why guns are banned, why the sneaking in doesn't fly. | ||
| It's because We want to do an event. | ||
| So we go to a venue, we go to a university, and we say, hey, we'd like to do an event. | ||
| They say, okay, we'll book you, but you have to have insurance. | ||
| We say, okay. | ||
| The insurance company says, we'll only insure you if you ban guns from the event. | ||
| And we're like, well, we actually are, we support 2A in the constitution, constitutional carry. | ||
| And they're like, well, then we won't insure you. | ||
| Have a nice day. | ||
| We go to security. | ||
| The venue says you need security as well. | ||
| Security company says the same thing. | ||
| We won't allow guns in the event because our guys can't secure it then. | ||
| So there's no choice. | ||
| We want to do an event. | ||
| We say security company makes the final call. | ||
| Insurance company makes the final call. | ||
| If somebody sneaks into an event and we go, that was awesome! | ||
| We're going to hire you. | ||
| Insurance company says terminated. | ||
| We will never work with you again. | ||
| We will never have an event after that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I mean, I'm not, like, an actual, like, crazy person, but, you know... It doesn't matter if they're crazy or not. | |
| It matters that an insurance company is not going to insure you if you're like, oh, yeah, we let people sneak in. | ||
| They'll be like, so if someone sneaks in next time... We reward people who sneak in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We reward. | |
| They're gonna be like, oh, okay, so you're basically encouraging people to violate security and then putting the liability on us. | ||
| We will, like, terminate it. | ||
| And insurance is hard to get, especially for big events. | ||
| Then you go to your venue and say, our insurance terminated us because they heard that we had let someone sneak in before. | ||
| And they'll be like, sorry, your event's cancelled. | ||
| So it's just, it's not a reality where you're like, that was really cool that you got us, you got all of our contracts terminated. | ||
| Third party contracts, vendor contracts. | ||
| We lost $100,000 because of what you did. | ||
| It's just not reality. | ||
| I get what you're saying where sometimes there is a way to put yourself out there and sort of do something to build your network and get a connection. | ||
| I also get the, if you're sneaking into event, especially someplace that you're like, the person you want to hire has to go out of their way to pay for security. | ||
| Like maybe that's not the move to endear yourself to them. | ||
| I think that with all of it, It comes back to this question of a skill, right? | ||
| Like if I walked up to Tim and was like, Tim, I want a job, and he didn't know anything about me, he might be like, that's cool, but I don't have anything to offer you. | ||
| Whereas if I am saying like, hey, here's my portfolio of work, you mentioned specifically you need whatever it is, it's very different. | ||
| I think the idea that you could just walk up to someone who you see as having more money or privilege or influence than you, and that they could just solve all your problems is not accurate. | ||
| No, that's definitely not accurate. | ||
| I might say to someone, like, if they snuck into an event and said, I really want to work for you, and so, look, you know, I've proven that I've got the ability. | ||
| I'd say, what do you think I do at this company? | ||
| That's my first question. | ||
| Like, what do you think I do here? | ||
| And they'd be like, well, you're the boss. | ||
| I'd be like, do you think that I'm in charge of hiring people? | ||
| Do you think that, like, I manage HR and that stuff? | ||
| I don't. | ||
| So even, like, when it comes to hiring, I don't even handle these processes. | ||
| Like, we've got nearly like, I don't know, 40 to 50 people who work here. | ||
| So when it comes, you know, a lot of people will hit us up and be like, hey, I've got this really great idea. | ||
| I'll be like, try and reach out to one of the staff. | ||
| Maybe you could DM Ian, because Ian can like help relay to the right person. | ||
| But I don't. | ||
| What do I do? | ||
| I wake up in the morning, I read news, I record a morning show, then I exercise, eat food, and then I start preparing for the nightly show. | ||
| So that means we have staff that are handling paperwork, that are handling looking up resumes, taking communications. | ||
| But people live in this world where it's like, I gotta tell you, you go up to Trump carrying something, trying to give him something or anything like that, he's gonna be like, oh wow, thank you, and then he's gonna walk away and he's gonna hand it to his assistant and then he's gonna forget about whatever it was and the assistant puts it in a folder and forgets about it. | ||
| I was at an art gallery opening, this was years and years ago, with this artist whose show it was and he was like a very famous guy in the art world. | ||
| And someone walks up to him and was like, hey, I just, I did this drawing. | ||
| I really wanted to give it to you. | ||
| And my friend was like, oh, okay, thanks. | ||
| And the guy walks away and he's like, do I have to carry this around for the rest of my life now? | ||
| Like, what do I do with this? | ||
| Remember when Ye was on a plane? | ||
| He took a picture of a bottle of water and he's like, I went to sleep and I woke up and there's this bottle of water here. | ||
| Like, what is this? | ||
| I'm responsible for this now? | ||
| Like, I didn't ask for this. | ||
| That was funny. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I also, I get where these people are coming from. | |
| Maybe they're like, this is the one time I'm going to meet Trump or the one time I'm going to meet this person that I'm a super big fan of and I want to give them something as like a show of gratitude. | ||
| I mean, for me, I'm like, if I had a fan that came up to me and made a drawing and it was like, Lila, I love the work that you do. | ||
| I admire your bravery. | ||
| I drew this picture for you. | ||
| I'd appreciate that. | ||
| Or they wanted to give me something. | ||
| I'd like that. | ||
| What if they came up to you and they just started doing their set? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Their comedy set? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Would you like to stand there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
How big am I as a comedian at this point? | |
| Am I able to take them on tour? | ||
| Possibly? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| You're you right now. | ||
| They come up to you at a party, because that's more of an equivalent, right? | ||
| If somebody hands me a drawing that they did, I'd be like, oh cool, someone did a drawing. | ||
| But this guy's a painter, he's an artist, and someone hands him a piece of art, and he's like, what do I do with that? | ||
| So you're you. | ||
| You're at a party. | ||
| Someone walks up to you, and they're just like, hey, I wrote these jokes, and they just start jumping into their set. | ||
| How long do you stand there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
People do that all the time. | |
| How long do you stand there and listen? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I listen for a little bit and I actually appreciate the fact that they find me funny enough that they would think that I could be a good judge of comedy. | |
| What if it's 17 people every time you try to do a show? | ||
| That's a good question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But I'm not at that level yet. | |
| But what if it is? | ||
| So, but this is what I'm talking about with like Trump and other people. | ||
| It's like, it's just, it's an impossibility. | ||
| So, you know, look, I'm not gonna give the people listening to this the fake version of reality and people don't want to hear it. | ||
| A lot of people want to believe in this fictional world where everyone's super nice and they're willing to do everything for you. | ||
| We get guests here and we get maybe like, what? | ||
| I don't know, 15 books per month. | ||
| And then people are like, did you read my book? | ||
| And I'm like, no. | ||
| And they go, oh, you're just being honest about it, huh? | ||
| Like, geez. | ||
| And I'm like, my friend, I'm not trying to be mean to you, but I've been given 17 books this month. | ||
| At what point am I able to read a book? | ||
| You know, I record a morning show, I'm reading news, I'm watching news, I'm watching videos, I'm fact-checking, I'm calling people, and then I'm doing a nightly show, and then on the weekends, still working, setting up a new show, setting up something or another. | ||
| This weekend, relaxing in Mar-a-Lago, and then having to actually go and schmooze with people, which was, you know, by choice, but still. | ||
| And I'm just like, you can bring your books in. | ||
| People come here all the time, and they bring stuff, and it's like, it's really great, and they're like, this is for you, this is for you, I'm like, great, and then we have a big pile of stuff. | ||
| And I appreciate it, but what do I do with it? | ||
| It's just the reality of how things operate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, and I think that is wonderful, Tim. | |
| It's great to be at the level of success that you are right now, that it doesn't matter. | ||
| But I just feel like for me personally, my encounters with my fans, it still matters. | ||
| And that's just where I'm at right now. | ||
| And I don't know if that's ever going to change. | ||
| You know, like, I truly believe that if I had a show with 300 people watching and 300 people wanted to stay and meet me, I think I would meet them. | ||
| So depending on venue... That's a different thing, too. | ||
| That's, like, different than this situation. | ||
| Trump comes down and he, like, meets people at the barricades and all that stuff. | ||
| But, uh, you know, there's a certain point at which Your security company will just pull you away. | ||
| They'll grab you and they'll just pull you out of the room. | ||
| And then if you say no, they'll be like, then we are terminating your contract right now and have fun. | ||
| And then it's like, well, if we don't have security, we're not going to be able to get booking, like we're not able to do venues or like we can't work with this company again. | ||
| If you hire a security company, but say, I'm going to tell you You know, when to and when not to and what we're doing. | ||
| And they're going to be like, look, if something happens and we can't, we can't provide security. | ||
| Oh, I'll give you an example. | ||
| We got Alex Stein. | ||
| I don't know if we're supposed to say this. | ||
| I'm going to say it anyway. | ||
| We got some people in trouble at a show because we did a bit where Alex jumped on stage, if anyone remembers that, and the security company fired the people involved. | ||
| And they got fired because the security company genuinely tried to stop him from coming on stage, but they weren't supposed to. | ||
| The reason they wanted to stop him, even though we were like, Alex is going to come on stage and put on a show for us. | ||
| And he'll be a part of the event. | ||
| The security company didn't say this to us, but I should keep it as vague as possible because I don't think I'm supposed to be saying this anyway, but I'll say it anyway. | ||
| The security company that got hired now is publicly known as the company that let someone storm the stage. | ||
| And so people are going to say, why should I hire you? | ||
| You failed to stop a guy from storming the stage at an event. | ||
| That's your fault. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, you know. | |
| So they fired the people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Speaking of Alex Stein, Casbrew Coffee is great coffee that we all love. | |
| And, you know, there is a conspiracy out there, Tim, that you want to get Alex killed because the last two people you had on the coffee are no longer with us. | ||
| Well, they were animals. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alex is an animal. | |
| Have you guys seen him on stage? | ||
| He's an animal. | ||
| Let's let's jump to this next story from the post-millennial. | ||
| Trump reacts to Judge Mershon's threat of jail. | ||
| Frankly, our Constitution is much more important than jail. | ||
| Trump basically saying, oh, he literally saying, frankly, our Constitution is much more important than jail. | ||
| I'll do that sacrifice any day. | ||
| He got fined again. | ||
| And the judge once again threatened him with jail time. | ||
| But Trump, of course, is saying he would make that sacrifice. | ||
| They're trying to stop him from speaking. | ||
| This is the crazy thing. | ||
| You've got Biden's campaign and his surrogates attacking Donald Trump on this criminal trial and the judge telling Trump he cannot respond because it involves witnesses or elements of the case that he's barred from saying, stopping him from being able to counter the lies and the smears from his political enemies. | ||
| I wonder if Trump wants to go to jail. Gutfeld today on The Five said he hopes Trump goes to jail | ||
| because then he's guaranteed to win. I don't know that I believe that, but there is a theory among | ||
| some Democrats that Trump is trying to provoke just enough so that he will get put in jail. | ||
| But it has to be done in a way that makes it look like the court is being overbearing and | ||
| not that Trump is being boisterous. | ||
| Well, to a certain extent, that would make sense because he has gone along with what they've said, right? | ||
| He didn't go to the Supreme Court, even though it was his right to go to the Supreme Court. | ||
| He took down the tweets by 215 after he was ordered to take down the truth socials by 215 last week. | ||
| they held him in contempt again. I mean, he continues to play ball and do what they ask | ||
| him to do, and they continue to go harder against him, which does make him look, you know, | ||
| substantially better, it turns out, than if he just continued to flout their rules, which, | ||
| if you look at even what he said, they're not, he's not flouting their rules. | ||
| So even when they held him in contempt last week for the Truth Social posts and the campaign posts, a couple of them were the exact same posts, just reposted. | ||
| And they did it again. | ||
| It's just like with the 34 count. | ||
| It's the same payments in invoice form, receipt form, and billing form. | ||
| They're claiming that reposts are his speech as well. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| So now I guess we have precedence that retweets our endorsements? | ||
| Well, and last week they were basically saying, like, the judges come out and say, you know, this gag order isn't to give other people a sword and a shield because Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen are going after Trump because he's specifically under this gag order. | ||
| I also love the way he's phrasing this because it definitely sets him up to be a martyr for the Constitution, you know? | ||
| The Constitution is more important. | ||
| I will sacrifice that day. | ||
| And I genuinely believe Donald Trump, you know, respects the Constitution. | ||
| But I don't think this is what Judge Merchant was expecting when he was issuing this gag order to basically make Trump, like, the freedom martyr. | ||
| What if Trump just responded? | ||
| Oh, I didn't post that. | ||
| That was an assistant. | ||
| Well, that's the same. | ||
| I mean, he didn't, he didn't enter the bookkeeping records either. | ||
| That was some bookkeeper who probably... But if they're saying Trump is gagged, he can say, no, the Trump page isn't me speaking. | ||
| It's just the Trump brand. | ||
| It's a brand. | ||
| But I think Liv's right. | ||
| You treat it the same way where they're like, well, now this is a truck. | ||
| And that would give Trump, if Trump really wants to go to jail, he could respond with, I'm not even posting these things! | ||
| It's a campaign account run by staff promoting my campaign, and they're saying it's my speech! | ||
| There was also the thing, too, where the Trump campaign was saying that Bragg was bringing in witnesses that didn't have anything to do with the case at hand. | ||
| Right? | ||
| They like some extra porn star or whatever who they just threw in as well. | ||
| And that's interesting given that the Harvey Weinstein case was just thrown out because the prosecution brought in witnesses that did not have a criminal claim in the case who were just like totally extraneous. | ||
| So I wonder to a certain extent if Bragg unwittingly is setting up this case to be thrown out by the appeals court anyway. | ||
| I mean, it was always the weakest case. | ||
| And again, you know, they've had, I think, 11 people, witnesses called on behalf of the prosecution. | ||
| The prosecution is saying they need two more weeks to finish this before the defense can present. | ||
| So it's being dragged out. | ||
| All of these witnesses, you know, there was one current Trump Organization employee today, but there was a former one who was like, yeah, there was a payment to Michael Cohen. | ||
| I don't know what it's for. | ||
| I don't know the terms of his retainer. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| No one can thank Donald Trump to anything except They're using us, Hughes, to pull out these checks and be like, look, there's Donald Trump's signature. | ||
| And it's like, this is company. | ||
| The plan here is to waste Trump's time. | ||
| Waste his time and money. | ||
| To pull him off the campaign trail. | ||
| I mean, meanwhile, I think they were talking about doing a big rally at Madison Square Garden, which would be awesome. | ||
| And then also on May 11th, he's doing a rally in Wildwood on the boardwalk. | ||
| Like, that's gonna be badass. | ||
| I want to see Trump on the boardwalk in Wildwood with everybody in Jersey being like, we love Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| You know, you're gonna have bikinis and American flags, Beatles, it's gonna be wild! | ||
| It's Trump Summer, you know what I'm saying? | ||
| Yeah, I think they were saying that the Mar-a-Lago event was the last one and now he's going to Bedminster and he's gonna be in Jersey from the time being or something like that. | ||
| Well, he's a snowbird, so we know that he's gonna be in Jersey all summer. | ||
| It's an easy, it's like not a bad commute to court anyway. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he's gonna be, you know, doing the, doing the Northeast thing. | ||
| I think he has a good shot. | ||
| I like when he comes out and New Yorkers are all happy to see him. | ||
| That's one of my favorite things. | ||
| Madison Square Garden. | ||
| That's going to be so cool. | ||
| I think it's so interesting. | ||
| I hope they really do it. | ||
| He's been talking about it. | ||
| They were talking about it in June. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And he's been saying, I mean, at the New York Republicans Gala, I remember him being on stage and being like, I'm going to win New York! | ||
| Like, a declaration only Donald Trump can give, but I think Alvin Bragg accidentally made that easier for him by saying, and Judge Richard by being like, you have to be here, and we're gonna treat you like this, and you can't leave, and we're gonna make it very difficult for you to campaign. | ||
| He's like, great, I'll bring the campaign to New York, all eyes on New York, because of course, wherever Trump is, that's where the media attention is anyways. | ||
| He could rally in Idaho, but... | ||
| The media's not there covering Idaho for any reason, but Trump is there. | ||
| The media follows Trump wherever he goes. | ||
| And he's had meetings with dignitaries from Hungary and Japan and all over, and Poland, I think, you know? | ||
| Maybe not Hungary, I don't remember. | ||
| But anyways, people are coming to him. | ||
| Who doesn't want to have a meeting with Trump in Trump Tower? | ||
| Exchange a little gifts, have some fun. | ||
| Well done steak. | ||
| Check out the golden toilet. | ||
| I would love that. | ||
| I mean, you don't want to meet with Joe Biden, who's about to call you xenophobic on any day. | ||
| And maybe he's shaking hands with somebody who's not even there. | ||
| I don't think it would be fun to meet with Joe Biden. | ||
| Well, the thing about meeting with Biden is that like, you're a foreign dignitary, you | ||
| know, you walk in and he walks past you towards your assistant or like your chauffeur and | ||
| he's like, hey, it's good to meet you. | ||
| And then you're like, Mr. President, I'm and then he's just wandering off and spinning | ||
| around in circles. | ||
| Donald Trump. | ||
| He'll call you handsome. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He'll call you the best. | ||
| Look, he's charismatic. | ||
| And I'm sorry, I'm not pleased with the state of our world or our country in the state of the world. | ||
| And I'm almost an isolationist, right? | ||
| Like, I think you should put America's problems first. | ||
| I think we should fix the border wall. | ||
| I think we should get out of international conflicts. | ||
| But as the international community is in a very tense geopolitical situation, I don't want Joe Biden to be the one negotiating anything, especially one day he has Prime Minister of Japan there and the next day he's like, that guy's xenophobic because he doesn't like migrants and we like migrants. | ||
| Like, this is not the guy for any of us. | ||
| I think there is no reality in which Trump gets sent to jail for contempt. | ||
| He's been held ten times in contempt, and they're just fining him this negligible amount of money. | ||
| I know it's not literally, but for Trump it is. | ||
| Well, a thousand bucks apiece for Trump is not a big deal, didn't he? | ||
| What was his recent true social thing? | ||
| Like billion something dollars? | ||
| 1.8 billion dollar bonus. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| And Trump, notoriously, goes to all of his staff at his properties and hands out hundred dollar bills. | ||
| So, when they're fining him, like, ten grand, it's a nuisance, but Trump is a billionaire. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, that's really nice that he does that, because it's good to make people feel appreciated. | |
| Oh, yeah, his employees love him. | ||
| I mean, but that's one of the things the judge said, like, this money doesn't mean anything to you, and I wish I could charge you more. | ||
| Like, I'm sorry, are you going to follow the law? | ||
| Like, this is the fine for this crime. | ||
| You can't be like, well, you deserve to pay more because I hate you and you're rich. | ||
| Just send him to jail if that's your ultimate goal. | ||
| Except for the fact that they have figured out that possibly sending Trump to jail will actually rally more support for him. | ||
| Oh man, yeah, this is the thing too. | ||
| They're gonna let him attend Barron's graduation? | ||
| On the 17th, I think? | ||
| Yeah, and you know why? | ||
| Because they played a game of chicken. | ||
| They could not win. | ||
| I was talking about this with some people in Mar-a-Lago, actually. | ||
| I was like, could you imagine what would have happened if they told Trump you can't go to the graduation for Barron? | ||
| You know what Barron would do? | ||
| Barron would go to court instead. | ||
| He'd stand outside for the press and say, for my father, who could not attend my graduation because of this corrupt judge, I am going to be here for him because we're family and family is more important. | ||
| And that would have been a massive PR backlash for the Democrats in this case. | ||
| So they probably talked about it and they were like, if Barron shows up and says, my family's more important, my father was there for me, I'll be there for him, like, it's gonna make them look real good. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So they were like, just let them go to the graduation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Otherwise, it's gonna backfire. | |
| Yeah, I think you're totally right. | ||
| I mean, they had Eric Trump in the courthouse the other day, and the media was like, yeah, so he's the first one to come by. | ||
| I mean, you know, they're sort of implying that Trump's family doesn't support him. | ||
| But also, I think if you're the average American, it's like, yeah, you're wasting Trump's time. | ||
| You're wasting his family's time. | ||
| Like, you're just making him suffer disproportionate to the amount of power you have in law because you don't like him. | ||
| Meanwhile, the judge's daughter is literally fundraising off this campaign. | ||
| I think if they just even if Barron had said nothing he's just they photograph him walking into court I think all of America would have been like this is not fair this is a terrible way to use the criminal prosecution system to punish this one particular family and because they look at it and they say this could be my family. | ||
| Barron could be saying something like, this is one of the most important days of my life, my graduation, and this corrupt court told my father he wouldn't be there, and so I decided to sacrifice this day. | ||
| I'll get my diploma, but today I'll be where it matters most, with family, and it would have just been like a nuke dropping on Democrats PR-wise. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So that was a whoopsie, big mistake. | |
| But the Supreme Court thing, I think, was a game of chicken. | ||
| Trump's strategy, I suppose, was they didn't want the arguments to turn into arguments about Trump. | ||
| They wanted the arguments to remain as the strength of the presidency versus criminal charges. | ||
| That's why Trump didn't want to go. | ||
| So that I get. | ||
| I thought he should have gone. | ||
| And like I said, I kind of did too. | ||
| But I was like, I'm sure there's some legal strategy they have. | ||
| I'm not going to pretend to know what his lawyers are thinking. | ||
| His lawyers have a plan. | ||
| And after the fact, they were like, if Trump were to have gone, then the lawyers would have been arguing about Trump. | ||
| He'd be sitting there and it would have made it all about him. | ||
| He's hoping to win this case because of the protections the presidency offers, not the actions he took. | ||
| Because there's two things happening. | ||
| Did Trump act in his official duty and are official duties immune for criminal prosecution until impeachment and conviction? | ||
| Trump didn't want the question to fall onto, did Trump engage in his official duties? | ||
| Because then they could have just simply said, the question of immunity is moot. | ||
| Trump was not acting in his official capacity. | ||
| Criminal prosecution stands. | ||
| So that was their plan there. | ||
| And, you know, I don't know. | ||
| I guess it works out for him. | ||
| We'll see what happens. | ||
| Do we know when they're going to issue that ruling, actually? | ||
| No, the Supreme Court never tells you when they're going to issue a ruling. | ||
| They typically will start dropping them in June. | ||
| I think they heard all the oral arguments so far for this year, so now they are in decision mode. | ||
| This was not an emergency ruling, so they're going to put it on the docket with the rest of their opinions that they'll deliver. | ||
| In June, right? | ||
| I mean, probably. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It could come in June. | |
| It could come later, right? | ||
| It could come in June. | ||
| It could come next week. | ||
| I mean, it's really... This year is so wild. | ||
| Up to the Supreme Court. | ||
| How many people have just checked out and they're just like, I'm so over it? | ||
| Well, it's interesting you say that because there were a bunch of polls that came out over the weekend. | ||
| Marist had one that, you know, the mainstream media is like, oh, look, Biden is ahead. | ||
| But then they immediately have to say, well, it's within the margin of error. | ||
| And I think part of it is because people are not always that, like, This room is probably pretty politically engaged, you know, starting in the year before. | ||
| But for the average American, you really start paying attention mid-summer to late fall. | ||
| And I think they need the polls to line up with Biden ahead right now to try and keep people thinking, oh, well, there's a chance. | ||
| Because, ultimately, it's impossible to keep up with all of America's problems right now, and the fact that the strategy appears to have been from, you know, progressive activists, especially ones that are in any sort of legal capacity for the government, will just bombard Trump with all these cases and that will slow him down. | ||
| It actually made it impossible for any average voter to pay attention to all of this stuff. | ||
| There's no way they could say, well, in this case, this is happening, in this case, this is happening. | ||
| Yeah, the other thing too is you have Jack Smith in the Mar-a-Lago seized documents case. | ||
| His office recently admitted to evidence tampering after they seized the documents. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| So Trump is saying, Trump's guys are like, he should probably be arrested for literal evidence tampering. | ||
| You have a situation where the General Services Administration had sent a bunch of classified and stuff documents to Mar-a-Lago like a year before the investigation got underway from the special counsel's office. | ||
| And you have so many cases going on. | ||
| You have Fannie Willis is dealing with her own thing and she's saying that she's not going to testify before the Georgia Senate. | ||
| She's being brought up on stuff on So there are a lot of cases, and the goal, of course, as we've been saying here, is to bombard him with cases, to prevent him from running a successful campaign, and to do anything possible to try and jail him before the election. | ||
| It looks like the Alvin Bragg case is the best one that's their best chance right now, but It's funny because we said that one was the weakest. | ||
| It's a very weak case. | ||
| That's the thing. | ||
| I mean, he could get off. | ||
| He could get off. | ||
| And if he's convicted on this, it really brings into question a lot of the... Convicted for what? | ||
| There's no law. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Convicted for what? | ||
| I mean... They haven't even stated the crime yet. | ||
| They did. | ||
| They finally said that it's election interference. | ||
| Oh, yeah, but that's not a crime. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's how they brought it up, the classy felony. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So they're saying that interfering in a state election, but this is a federal election, so there's still no law. | ||
| They said it's election interference and the law is pertaining to New York state elections. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah, it's very screwed up. | ||
| It makes absolutely no sense. | ||
| I think there's a good chance that he could, I think there's a good chance he could be not convicted. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| And if he's not convicted in one of these cases, all of them are totally out the window. | ||
| I mean, they're all just so ludicrous. | ||
| And the rest of them are pretty much delayed to the point where if he does win the election, he could pardon himself anyways. | ||

| Let's read! | ||
| We got Clint Torres! | ||
| He's returned! | ||
| Howdy, people! | ||
| Howdy, Clint! | ||
| TokenBlackEye says, howdy, people. | ||
| But unfortunately, he was in second place. | ||
| Because when Clint decides to be the first Super Chat, he gets it. | ||
| TactyPlatty says, Clint should be first, and he was. | ||
| I don't think they would because Biden's so deeply unpopular they want him to lose. | ||
| They don't want to force a replacement. | ||
| for withholding aid to Israel. Do Republicans have the stones to do it? I don't think they | ||
| would because Biden's so deeply unpopular, they want him to lose. They don't want to force a | ||
| replacement. So right now the strategy is just let Biden keep going. And look at what happened | ||
| to Mayorkas impeachment, right? | ||
| Like, it's not going to get through the Senate. | ||
| You know, at this point, we're on a ticking clock. | ||
| You got to close out this Congress strong and also focus on re-electing more Republicans to Congress. | ||
| Yeah, because it's a very slim majority. | ||
| It's super slim. | ||
| Really bad news. | ||
| I think the important thing to understand here, though, is that... | ||
| When Trump withheld aid, military aid to Ukraine, they impeached him. | ||
| When Biden withholds aid to Israel, and even the pier is now, the construction is being shifted away and postponed, delayed, or even suspended. | ||
| I don't know if it's going to be rebuilt. | ||
| Nothing happens. | ||
| But that aid to Ukraine, if you cut off military aid to Ukraine, oh boy, do they come for you. | ||
| No one seems to care about Israel in the government here. | ||
| Biden's cutting off aid to Netanyahu. | ||
| Nobody cares. | ||
| Well, Biden, of course, also withheld aid to Ukraine. | ||
| Remember, he withheld aid to Ukraine as vice president until they fired their prosecutor. | ||
| And nobody seems to care about that at all. | ||
| And that was in line with U.S. | ||
| foreign policy, so the Democrats said, despite the fact it's the president that sets foreign policy, tacitly admitting that it's the deep state that set foreign policy. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And also you have this situation where Congress has approved the aid to Israel. | ||
| Biden is refusing to deliver it. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I think this proves, once and for all, as we've known for a long time, Ukraine controls the United States. | ||
| The pro-Ukraine lobby, it's just controlling everything. | ||
| That's why people who are critical of Ukraine get censored. | ||
| It's fairly obvious, isn't it? | ||
| Zelensky came here. | ||
| Yeah, we're being controlled by the Ukrainians. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Is that why we have to pay them so much money? | ||
| That's why we're paying them more than any other country. | ||
| We do pay for that. | ||
| Do you see how Zelensky goes on Twitter and he's like, I want more F-16s. | ||
| And it's like, boom, more F-16s. | ||
| Every promise Biden made about what we would not send to Ukraine, he has broken. | ||
| Clint Torres says, my, my, my. | ||
| Whilst the cat's away, the mice will surely play. | ||
| Phil, go to the gym. | ||
| Yeah, Clint wasn't here last week, and other people had taken his place as first in the Super Chat. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| Dan Bolka says, Haven't there to, haven't there to watch in a week, haven't there to watch in a week? | ||
| I'm so sorry. | ||
| However, I got married on May 4th in AZ and now enjoying our honeymoon in Sedona. | ||
| Congrats! | ||
| Thank you all for the work you do. | ||
| Tim and Timcast, time to go to the Vortex for Ian. | ||
| I'm so glad my pro-marriage propaganda on this show is paying off. | ||
| I take full credit for this marriage, I'm sure. | ||
| It's all because of me. | ||
| Steve Powell says, what are your guys' thoughts on the EPA ruling and regulations on PFAS contaminations in water? | ||
| My family runs a small business that does water treatment. | ||
| PFAS, what does that one stand for? | ||
| We've talked about all these before. | ||
| These are like the forever chemicals? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What is PFAS? | ||
| Someone want to look that up? | ||
| I'm googling it. | ||
| Poly something, I'd imagine. | ||
| It's... Oh, I can't say these words, Tim. | ||
| It's all science. | ||
| Wait, where are they? | ||
| PFAS. | ||
| It's P-F-A-L-Y. | ||
| Per- and polyfluoroalkyl. | ||
| Oh, look at that. | ||
| I can't say those either. | ||
| That is PFAS. | ||
| Plufluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl. | ||
| Yep, fluoroalkyl. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Organofluorine chemical compounds that have multiple fluorine atoms and I don't know what the EPA ruling is, so I wouldn't know how to answer that question. | ||
| I had somebody recently come up to me at an event and start talking my ear off about fluoride and fluoride in the water and how I should really And now for the super chat that everyone's been waiting for. | ||
| Jason Dixon says, Tim, bro, why are you and Jake having beef? | ||
| Ah, Jake Shields! | ||
| So if you guys are wondering about Jake Shields on Twitter, I'll tell you. | ||
| We're on episode 1019. | ||
| We've had less guests than that because we have a lot of repeat guests. | ||
| So maybe what, like 900 different guests and not a single one. | ||
| Actually, there's been two. | ||
| There's been two guests who when we tried to book them, made demands that were difficult | ||
| that we tried to accommodate and then took to Twitter to scream at the top of their lungs | ||
| like whiny babies as if they deserve to just come on and we can open the door for them. | ||
| Like, we're gonna pay for your travel, fly you out here while you're whinging and complaining about it. | ||
| Two out of like 900 people. | ||
| So I'll tell you exactly what happened, because Jake is having a meltdown over it. | ||
| What a baby. | ||
| Our booker, Cassandra, reached out to Jake Shields because we've talked about him a bit in the past. | ||
| We've cheered him on for some of the commentary he's made as an MMA fighter. | ||
| And he wanted to come on the show, Tim Castile, of course, which is a topical news program that discusses, you know, top stories in the news, like we talked about the Met Galate. | ||
| he said he would not come on, unless we also brought on Nick | ||
| Fuentes as well. Which is like, okay, well, like, we're inviting | ||
| you, dude. So if you want to look like and he was like, No, look, I'll only come on if Nick comes on because he said he | ||
| didn't think he could handle talking about it on his own. | ||
| And then Cassandra was like, I don't know if I if I if I can do | ||
| that. | ||
| And so he started complaining. So I reached out to him and I was | ||
| like, Look, man, if you want to come on a topical news show, we'll talk topical news we can but if you want to come on | ||
| with Nick to talk about Jews and Israel, it's a debate show. If | ||
| you want to do that, then I'll bring on someone to debate. | ||
| And then he called me a Zionist and said, why don't we just debate you? | ||
| And I was like, because I agree with defunding military spending into Israel, so I don't know what we're talking about other than you guys talking about Jews. | ||
| If you want to talk about Jews, we'll bring on, you know, a rabbi or someone to debate you on the issue. | ||
| And he said, okay. | ||
| So, uh, I said, reach out to me, like, send me a text every week or so. | ||
| I'll let you know where I'm at with trying to book this. | ||
| Unfortunately for Jake and for Nick, no one wants to go on a show with them. | ||
| And so they offered up maybe Rabbi Shmuley. | ||
| And I said, guys, you do realize that if you do that, people are going to claim that you backed out of the debate and didn't want to do a real debate with someone. | ||
| And Jake agreed. | ||
| And I said, how about we try and find someone? | ||
| There were a couple people who actually know Jake and Nick and are friendly with them and actually said, I won't do it. | ||
| And I'm not going to drag them into it. | ||
| Jake starts having a meltdown. | ||
| He's like freaking out, talking smack privately, like angry that we can't set up the show he wanted that we never offered in the first place, but are trying to accommodate him. | ||
| And then finally, the last thing said to him was like, look, You guys are volatile, and it's a huge risk to try and bring you on a show, especially with the things you're saying now, unless we do it in a debate format. | ||
| And no one wants to debate you! | ||
| Like, just people are saying no every single time. | ||
| Well, so what happens is Jake sends me a message or something, and I can't remember what we were doing. | ||
| We're like, we're setting up the new event, like the new space or whatever. | ||
| I didn't text him back. | ||
| He sent it to me last week. | ||
| And so then he gets super pissed off, and then he posts this tirade on Axe about how I'm a coward for lying to him, but he's just making everything up. | ||
| He's acting like I invited him and Nick to come on the show. | ||
| He hit us up and said he would only come on if we invited Fuentes. | ||
| And I said, okay. | ||
| And I said, but here's how we got to do it, because, look, there have been other big YouTube channels that have run on Nick, and they got instantly demonetized and just shut down. | ||
| And I said, so the only way we can do the show that you want to do, where you just complain about Jews all day in APAC, is if it's a debate. | ||
| And then you can say what you want to say and have someone debate you on it. | ||
| Nobody wants to debate these guys. | ||
| Not even their friends. | ||
| Nobody wants to do it. | ||
| There have been a few people who have challenged them to debates and they've backed down. | ||
| I shouldn't say Nick, I don't know about Nick, but Jake has. | ||
| So now Jake is having a big ol' hissy fit on Axe because we won't give him what he wants. | ||
| What a baby. | ||
| My God. | ||
| What a whiny, whiny baby. | ||
| Dude, it's embarrassing. | ||
| Shut up already, man. | ||
| You're not welcome here because you're a whiny baby. | ||
| We tried to accommodate you and now you're whinging like a baby. | ||
| Holy crap. | ||
| Only one other guest got close to doing something like this and they put out one tweet complaining about it and we rolled our eyes and we moved on. | ||
| But this dude is like, he is demanding, demanding, demanding. | ||
| Jeez, man. | ||
| And now he won't stop crying about it. | ||
| He's, like, posting non-stop about me. | ||
| He's retweeting everyone in the world. | ||
| It's, like, the biggest melt that I've ever seen because we couldn't do the show he wanted to do. | ||
| Imagine tasking, like, multiple employees to try to set up a show that you asked for that we never had planned for in the first place because we're trying to do that show and then freaking out about it. | ||
| And then you get all these people who are, like, Tim's scared of Nick Fuentes. | ||
| We didn't even invite Nick. | ||
| We invited Jake and then Jake was like, I can't do it by myself. | ||
| I would have to come out with Nick. | ||
| And then I said, okay, but that means if you want to talk about specifically Jews, it would have to be a debate. | ||
| And he goes, sounds good. | ||
| Let's make it happen. | ||
| And now he's acting like he's, he's been slighted. | ||
| What a whiny little baby. | ||
| Anyway, there you go. | ||
| That's the story there. | ||
| Jason Dixon says, Tim, what do I need to do to buy the Southeast Texas region as a franchise owner? | ||
| Casper, I'm self-made and I don't care about personal profits. | ||
| Uh, well, we will keep you in mind. | ||
| I can't say much as to franchise or anything like that. | ||
| I don't know the rules or whatever. | ||
| We are currently working on setting all of the certain things up for new locations. | ||
| And, uh, you know, we'll, we'll, we'll be in touch. | ||
| I'll keep it in mind. | ||
| The media won't call leftist riots riots because it will put them on the same moral level as J6. | ||
| They never call them riots. | ||
| They always just say protests and demonstrations. | ||
| The conservatives even do this. | ||
| Yeah, and people, um, lefties got mad when there were comparisons made to J6. | ||
| They were like, oh, don't do that. | ||
| Don't bring that up. | ||
| Because those people were not really that violent, and they just wandered around and left. | ||
| It was mostly peaceful. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, they were smashing barricades and fighting with cops, but yeah, it's mostly peaceful. | ||
| And they burned down a police station. | ||
| Mostly peaceful. | ||
| Not like Portland. | ||
| Spongebob asking a similar question as the previous one. | ||
| Why did you cancel on Jake Shields and Nick Fuentes? | ||
| We actually didn't even cancel on them. | ||
| I just didn't respond to his text that he sent, uh, what was it, like, seven days ago or something. | ||
| And so he took to Twitter and got super angry. | ||
| The real issue is that the show they wanted to do, we couldn't get guests for. | ||
| And I feel like they kind of do this on purpose. | ||
| It's how they generate attention for them. | ||
| I shouldn't say Nick. | ||
| Nick has nothing to do with this. | ||
| It was Jake Shields. | ||
| He basically is like, oh, I'll come on your show, but I'll make it as difficult as possible for you. | ||
| It has to be all of these things. | ||
| And we're like, okay, we'll try and figure that out. | ||
| And then when we can't meet their demands, he goes on Twitter and gets a thousand retweets claiming he's been affronted or something. | ||
| It's like the fakest garbage ever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like WWE, okay? | |
| He's trying to create controversy to make it exciting on Twitter and get those retweets. | ||
| That's it. So he can tell the story because privately he's like, cool, man, I appreciate it. | ||
| I'll see if I can come on later. And we were like, all right, we'll try and figure it out. | ||
| And the next thing we know, he's whinging on Twitter like a little baby. Dude, it is. It | ||
| is the craziest meltdown. I just I'm sorry. It's the craziest whiny meltdown I've ever seen. | ||
| He's like crying his eyes out. I can't believe it. | ||
| No other guest has ever done this when we were like, we can't make the show work for whatever reason. | ||
| We talked to a bunch of different people about tons of election stuff and vaccine stuff. | ||
| And we're like, look, you know the YouTube rules and we can do what we can do. | ||
| But if you come to us and they're like, no, no, no, we totally get it. | ||
| And not a one of them, not a one of them cried about it like this guy is. | ||
| It's like the most embarrassing thing, dude. | ||
| Calm down. | ||
| Live your life. | ||
| Go build a house or something, man. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Steven Ellis says, isn't Intifada what Maduro ate during his public address to his starving population? | ||
| It was empanada, but you know, I understand why you thought you were close. | ||
| Neglectful Sausage says, who wants to take bets? | ||
| A lot of these students were partying and failing their classes, so they are looking for an out explanation to their friends and family. | ||
| I actually think a lot of them genuinely think that being involved in a big major-scale protest is like an important step for them socially and potentially professionally, right? | ||
| They see this as like them doing good in the world. | ||
| I remember this interview that one of the men of an ABC News did with a girl at the campus. | ||
| They were like, well, what happens if you can't graduate because of this? | ||
| And she was like, well, you know, That would be sad, but I think ultimately that would be okay because it's part of my sacrifice for this bigger cause for the greater good. | ||
| They see this as their ultimate fulfillment. | ||
| Because they have no God, and they have no religion, and they don't believe in anything. | ||
| Right, and they're all being told, well, don't start families, and fairly, the economy is bad, and this, that, and the other. | ||
| There's a level of this is your moment, so sacrifice everything for it. | ||
| The economy is going to get worse when civilization collapses because there's nobody... That's too far away to think about, Libby. | ||
| Too far away. | ||
| But so is climate change. | ||
| Way too far away. | ||
| Did you see the one girl who was inside Hamilton Hall at Columbia who the cops were coming in and she goes like, you know, F you, we have finals. | ||
| Can't I just go home? | ||
| And it's like, what do you mean? | ||
| Like, if you have finals, why aren't you at home studying for your finals? | ||
| It was amazing how many of the protesters like brought up the fact that they were like, that it was finals going on. | ||
| They were like, yeah, everything's really stressful right now. | ||
| And you know, we have finals. | ||
| Like I heard that one. | ||
| And it's like, just go, go study. | ||
| Like, you don't think that I mean, again, I go back to the idea that there are like, And it could be literally anything. | ||
| I think it's just this generation is like activism is the way to make my mark on society, right? | ||
| I mean, A is for activist, B is for BLM. | ||
| This is the alphabet they were raised on. | ||
| They're not looking at their fellow classmates being like, yeah, I'm stressed about finals. | ||
| How are you guys doing who are hiding in your dorm rooms during lockdown? | ||
| Again, it's not even to weigh in on the Gaza-Israel stuff. | ||
| It's just to say that activism is a form of social gratification for a lot of these people right now. | ||
| So this is interesting. | ||
| I was just fact-checking this real quick. | ||
| John Marafa says, the watermelon's colors are red, white, black, and green, the Palestinian flag. | ||
| So are the four horsemen of the apocalypse, by the way. | ||
| And it's true. | ||
| I didn't actually think that was going to be true, but it literally is. | ||
| So I can break it down for you. | ||
| We have the source here, because I'm like, this seems strange. | ||
| And as the white horse There's the red horse, the black horse, and the pale horse. | ||
| However, they say the color of Death's horse was written as chloros in the original Koine Greek, which can either mean green, greenish-yellow, or pale. | ||
| The color is often translated as pale, though ashen, pale green, and yellowish-green. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| So it's green, I guess. | ||
| So green, red, white, and black. | ||
| How interesting. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Cody Johnson says, Hey, Tim, can I get a shout out for my new book, Coming Home by Cody Johnson? | ||
| It's a sci-fi military thriller novella similar to Ghost in the Shell. | ||
| Very cool. | ||
| Shout out. | ||
| I think the novella form doesn't get enough attention. | ||
| I feel like we should have more novellas. | ||
| That's the only because they're short books. | ||
| So they're like 30 to 40,000 words. | ||
| I think that this internet generation would appreciate them more. | ||
| How long is a normal book? | ||
| I think to qualify as a novel, you're over 90,000 words. | ||
| I'll look it up right now, but there is a standard for this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He can get a shout out, but don't you dare bring that book to Tim. | |
| Jacob Hawley says, so what you are saying, Tim, is that not only do we need to make Gaza a state, we need to make Israel one, too. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Calling my Wisconsin representative, Glenn Grothman. | ||
| Right now, Ian Rowland, 20s. | ||
| Yes, because the joke was Ian said we should make Palestine, Gaza, the 51st state, which makes literally no sense. | ||
| It's so fun to talk to Ian because you're really stretching the expansions of your brain sometimes. | ||
| I mean, effectively, any country that we give billions and billions and billions of dollars of aid to functions, you know, functions like a dependent of the U.S., but we don't grant them citizenships and allow them free movement through our country. | ||
| I feel like that is an important distinction, however fine the line is becoming. | ||
| Scott Quimit says, for as many people watch Tim Pool, when I mention his show in conversations, rarely does anyone even know who I'm talking about, aside from his Occupy days. | ||
| And this is the reality of life. | ||
| No one is as famous to you as they are to other people. | ||
| So, a really good example of this is Billy Eichner had Chris Pratt, I think? | ||
| and they run through New York, and he does a lot, and he's like, | ||
| you know who this is? Nobody knew who he was. And I'm like, this is Chris Pratt. I mean, | ||
| like, he's in all the big blockbusters, but that's true. It's like, people live in different | ||
| worlds, but everyone, I think the issue for a lot of people is that they assume if they know it, | ||
| other people must know it. | ||
| That the things to them that matter the most matter the most to everybody else. | ||
| But the truth is, if you go out and walk the streets, I mean, in New York there are certain things that people will all know about. | ||
| Crime, of course, is a big conversation among New Yorkers. | ||
| But there are local news channels. | ||
| You know, I love when I'm traveling, I turn on local news. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I like that too. | |
| Yeah, and they'll say something like, the ongoing scandal involving the Cracker Factory on 7th with John, and I'm like, really? | ||
| Like, they're having a cracker scandal in this small town? | ||
| I had no idea. | ||
| When I was driving in today, I guess Hannah, Wyoming is having a hard time keeping its | ||
| very expensive and large recreational complex open because the town is getting smaller and | ||
| it costs a lot to heat the building and it's cold. | ||
| I love local issues, but they definitely are not something we would all be aware of. | ||
| But shout out to you, Hannah, Wyoming. | ||
| All right. | ||
| True Trucker Joe says, move on up, run for office. | ||
| I did it and I'm a trucker, Texas 17. | ||
| Get our stuff moving. | ||
| Joseph Langone, Langone, 17. | ||
| Let's drive our country forward. | ||
| Tim had a suit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ha ha ha. | |
| That's right. | ||
| It's very nice. | ||
| It's a very nice suit. | ||
| And I buttoned the bottom button. | ||
| which I learned after the fact was wrong. And I'm like, look, you know, I have no idea how to wear | ||
| any of these clothes, nor have I ever. And I was like, someone told me it's like Trump eating well | ||
| done steak with ketchup. It's he's a man of the people, you know what I mean? Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, you guys are deeply relatable. | ||
| I look at it more like, uh, there's a saying, never insult someone for mispronouncing a word. | ||
| It means they learned it from reading. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| So you always just say, it's actually pronounced this way, but it meant you learned it from, you were reading. | ||
| That's, my son pronounces a lot of words wrong from, because he read them. | ||
| See, there you go. | ||
| That's fantastic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nah, I think you just call him retarded. | |
| Yeah, I'm probably not gonna do that to the kid. | ||
| Gamer J says George Soros' son is currently dating Huma Abedin. | ||
| She was Hillary Clinton's right hand forever. | ||
| More direct DNC and Soros connections. | ||
| They were spotted at a basketball game together, if I recall. | ||
| He hard launched her on Valentine's Day, I believe. | ||
| Ooh, how about that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| All right, what do we have? | ||
| The Stuart Alastair Edition says, Tim, for some reason, some of my videos have Tim cast as a watermark. | ||
| Love the show, but not that much. | ||
| YouTube is looking into it. | ||
| Is that normal? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| What do you mean, Tim? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's weird. | |
| What do you mean, Tim cast as a watermark? | ||
| Some of your videos? | ||
| Are you... I think we need, like, a screenshotted example to understand. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know what that means. | ||
| Tim slowly taking over the internet, that's what that means. | ||
| Yeah. Oh, good. It will says, Hi, Tim. Watch your show for a long time. Coffee is great. | ||
| Two weeks ago, 427, my family's home since 1881 in Winchester burnt down. Wait, in Virginia, | ||
| Sir, Virginia. Parents have set up a go fund me. | ||
| I know you don't like them. | ||
| Would appreciate a shout. | ||
| Nathaniel and Terry Housefire GoFundMe. | ||
| Oh, well, I think we found a cause to support. | ||
| You know what I was thinking? | ||
| Let me look this up. | ||
| Nathaniel and Terry Housefire GoFundMe. | ||
| When Donald Trump When Donald Trump was leaving Mar-a-Lago on Sunday morning, I was sitting on a bench and he's walking past me and I just gave him a little wave like Mr. President. | ||
| And the guy next to me says, Mr. President, can I get a picture? | ||
| And Trump stops and he's got a Secret Service and he looks at me and he goes, do you have to? | ||
| All right, come on, come on, I'm so late, let's go. | ||
| And I was thinking to myself right there, what a generous guy. | ||
| He's busy, he's going to the F1 race, he's running behind, but he knows this one guy is only going to have this one chance to get this photo, so he took the time out of the day to give that guy that photo. | ||
| And I was thinking, you know, in honor of that generosity of Donald J. Trump, I would assist someone with their bills or debt of some sort. | ||
| And maybe this one will be it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That is awesome. | |
| That actually just makes me like Donald Trump even more. | ||
| What a great story. | ||
| We will make a donation right now. | ||
| What do we say? | ||
| How much should I donate? | ||
| They're asking for $5,000. | ||
| They're at $4,000 right now. | ||
| This picture is crazy! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Donate $5,000. | |
| $5,000. | ||
| Done. | ||
| That is awesome, Timber. | ||
| 5,000 done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That is awesome, Tyler. | |
| It's the picture. | ||
| So nice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love it. | |
| Oh, ouch. | ||
| It's a picture of the house for anyone listening who, you know, I realize this is also an audio medium and I'm not helping here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But that is a, that is a charred house. | |
| That is really cool, Tim. | ||
| That's freaking awesome. | ||
| This is one of my favorite things about the way IRL is formatted, which is like, especially when we do the members only and people are able to call in, you're able to really hear what's going on in their lives. | ||
| I find myself thinking about like, tragic things. | ||
| We're able to help support different gives and goes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hell yeah! | |
| That is really cool. | ||
| Because I was inspired by Donald Trump's generosity. | ||
| Part of me was thinking, I wonder if people would get mad that I would say that. | ||
| Why? | ||
| He's a generous guy. | ||
| Because people hate Trump. | ||
| He's not allowed to be generous. | ||
| Yeah, it's like he is. | ||
| He was very nice. | ||
| He was very generous. | ||
| And I was like, what a good guy to take time out of his day when he's in a rush and he's in a hurry to do this thing for this guy. | ||
| And I was like, it'd be cool if I went on Twitter and just said like, hey, I want to help somebody out because I saw Trump be generous and I feel like I should pay it forward. | ||
| But I also kind of thought like a lot of people would get mad on the left who hate Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Did people get that? | |
| Well, I just did it right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This just shows you the power of kindness. | |
| The fact that you witnessed that and you saw that and you got inspired. | ||
| Now you just help someone with 5k. | ||
| That's huge. | ||
| So it's little things actually matter. | ||
| Taking your time out of day, it matters because look at the ripple effect at this moment right now. | ||
| So kudos to you, Jim. | ||
| I think that's really awesome. | ||
| I wonder if there's like a law where if I said like every show I would Someone could like, I want, it's probably a rule or a law about that. | ||
| I've known other YouTubers who will say, you know, like, they're not posting live videos, but they'll say like, a portion of today's videos, whatever I generate, will go to a charity and like pick it out of a hat or whatever. | ||
| I think you could do stuff like that. | ||
| No, I'm saying like, what if I said every show I'd give one super chatter who needed it for help a thousand bucks? | ||
| Like, I feel like there might be a rule or a law about that. | ||
| Doesn't it just matter for like tax write-offs? | ||
| They might call it a sweepstakes or something. | ||
| I hate that. | ||
| I hate that the law would be used to prevent you from helping other people. | ||
| Well, remember, like, a year ago, we said we wanted to do a thing where we gave someone, like, once a month ten grand towards some cultural endeavor. | ||
| We legally can't do it. | ||
| It's so insanely hard to do. | ||
| But it's your money and your loyalty. | ||
| Because it's considered a sweepstakes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So can you just do it, like, without announcing it? | |
| I've been... I basically, like, have been helping people out, hooking people up, things like that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But when it came to talking to the lawyers, being like, no, we want to make it so that someone can be like, hey, I'm working on this project, they were like, so you're asking people to submit forms with requirements for a chance to win money. | ||
| That's called sweepstakes. | ||
| There's laws. | ||
| Why is it a sweepstakes and not a grant? | ||
| Why aren't you giving people a grant to start a project? | ||
| The grants exist all the time. | ||
| Is the federal government the only one who's allowed to issue those? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I, it's been, it's like basically- That might be like a more complicated accounting question too. | |
| Because of membership. | ||
| Cause we were like, we want to support our members and like, yeah, you can't do it that way. | ||
| And then I was like, what if we said something? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
| Cause it had to be like open to the public. | ||
| I remember you talking about this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But there was a bunch of other stuff too. | ||
| So where we basically just like, look, you can't feasibly do something like this unless we set up a different company that takes the investment and then does something like that. | ||
| What I can do, is if it's random. | ||
| Like just now, someone mentioned their house burned down. | ||
| And so you said, give them five grand. | ||
| I'm like, I can do that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Because it's just like a random thing we did. | ||
| And if I went on Twitter and said, hey, I'm gonna give someone some money to help with their bills or whatever. | ||
| You can send me a tweet. | ||
| That would work. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| What I'd like to say is every show we would help someone out with an emergency with like a thousand bucks towards their emergency. | ||
| I'll have to ask my lawyer if I'm allowed to do that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, especially like, well, like I said, during our after show, we do get people who are like, hey, here's a give, send, go link, or in this case, a GoFundMe link to something that's going on. | ||
| Like just bringing something to your attention where there is a way for you to give money. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That would be cool. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We'll figure it out. | ||
| That'd be really cool if, like, every show we were, like, someone could mention a GoFundMe or something that needed support. | ||
| Because it also means that all the members can also, if they have it, you know, have extra money around, can help out too. | ||
| It's not just, like, you're the only one or the show's the only thing. | ||
| Bill Pulte was mentioning that he does stuff like that, where, like, he'll go on Twitter and say, let's see if we can help someone out and, you know, Deal with some emergency bills or food costs or whatever and then people will send a bunch of ideas and then they all come together and help this person. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because if you have, he has 3 million followers, if you get a million people, if you get 10,000 people to each give like 5 bucks, It's a lot of money. | ||
| It's a lot of money to help someone, you know, who's in an emergency. | ||
| But for you, it might just be five bucks. | ||
| That'd be cool if we could do that. | ||
| That'd be huge. | ||
| That'd be fun. | ||
| Imagine if that, like every super chat, we're like, we're going to help someone pay their bills. | ||
| Yeah, I like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's awesome. | |
| It's like really shows you care about your fans, and I love it. | ||
| Well, we'll read one more. | ||

Wait, and can I say hi to my mom? | |
| Because she'll be watching, as per heart. | ||
| And real quick, SG just super chatted saying his rent is $17.38 and he's trying to be a cop in Phoenix. | ||
| Any help is welcomed. | ||
| You didn't post your Venmo. | ||
| We're gonna have to figure out a system. | ||
| How can I help you? | ||
| You've got maybe like 30 seconds to post your Venmo and I'll pay your rent for you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Damn. | |
| Bye, search! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, see you guys. | |
| Yeah, make sure you post that sub, man. | ||
| It'll help you a lot. | ||
| Well, so I'm going to give it another 30 seconds. | ||
| We're just filibustering here. | ||
| I'm going to filibuster. | ||
| And hopefully SG can send his Venmo. | ||
| Smash the like button. | ||
| Become a member at TimCast.com. | ||
| The Members Only show is coming up. | ||
| There's a slight delay. | ||
| That's why I'm pattering. | ||
| So for us here in the studio, we're actually like 30 seconds behind everyone else. | ||
| So I'm watching where the show is now with the delay, hoping that SG will super chat his Venmo. | ||
| Come on, SG. | ||
| You know, I'll just start reading random articles. | ||
| Could you read aloud from a post-millennial? | ||
| I was actually checking out to see where we were at the Met protest, but everyone just keeps posting older footage from a couple hours ago, so I don't see anything new. | ||
| Apparently the Met attendees are totally in the dark about if there's even a protest at all. | ||
| This is intentional! | ||
| Anna Wintour is silencing the protesters! | ||
| SG, did you send your stuff in? | ||
| So there is a slight delay, so what we'll do is We will go to TimCast.com and go to the members-only show and we'll see you all there. | ||
| And by the time the show wraps, maybe SG will have that super chat and we'll get his Venmo and we can help him out. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out. |
