Democrat Senator Van Hollen of Maryland has traveled down to El Salvador and he has demanded the return of Abrego Garcia. | ||
And boy, did Democrats walk right into this one. | ||
The DOJ had the evidence. | ||
They had the documents. | ||
They have damning information on this man who is reportedly now a violent member of MS-13 who mercilessly beat his wife. | ||
Allegedly, we don't know exactly how it all went down, but not only have they released documents showing how they determined he was a gang member in MS-13, but also what was released in the press was domestic violence petitions from his own wife. | ||
So here you got a guy who was with MS-13 gang members, identified as one, wearing their clothing, and yeah, they really walked into this one. | ||
It's sort of blowing up in their face now after the DOJ released this information to back up their case. | ||
They also had the press conference. | ||
Where they had a woman whose daughter was murdered by an illegal Venezuelan migrant. | ||
All this while Democrats are lying, claiming this guy, Braco Garcia, was here legally. | ||
He was not. | ||
And saying that he was a Maryland man. | ||
Now, that's crazy. | ||
The Maryland man sigh up. | ||
All the media is marching in lockstep, saying a Maryland man who was legally here was wrongly sent to this prison. | ||
It's a lie. | ||
An illegal immigrant with a deportation order was deported to his home country. | ||
So I would like to thank Donald Trump for bringing Abrego Garcia home. | ||
It means a lot. | ||
We're going to talk about that, plus, man, Judge Boasberg in this case is saying the Trump admin is in contempt, and now they're threatening, I guess, to arrest these individuals. | ||
And then, man, it's kind of crazy how much news there is today. | ||
Letitia James has been referred to the DOJ for criminal prosecution for mortgage fraud. | ||
That took place at the exact same time she was alleging Donald Trump was engaged in civil fraud to secure loans at better rates. | ||
Basically the exact same thing she accused him of. | ||
And based on the fraud that she's alleged to have committed, she would have voided her position in New York as the AG. | ||
So it's a crazy story. | ||
We're going to talk about all that, my friends, and more. | ||
Before we get started, we've got a great sponsor. | ||
It is Kalshi, my friends. | ||
Kalshi is the first and only legal prediction market in the U.S. After years of working with the federal government, Kalshi got regulatory approval from the CFTC to offer a new asset class, quote, event contracts, which allowed traders to take positions on whether a future event will happen or not. | ||
You can bet and trade on anything from who will win the Grammys or Oscars, will the U.S. buy Greenland, how high will Bitcoin get this year, and more. | ||
Kalshi was the first place to legally trade and bet on the elections. | ||
We also launched sports in all 50 states recently and went live on Robinhood. | ||
So Callshe event contracts are being actively traded on Robinhood. | ||
Very cool. | ||
People use these markets to make money on their opinion, hedge risks, or just look at the market odds to understand the chance of some event happening. | ||
These markets tend to be quite | ||
We call this, my friends, wisdom of the crowd. | ||
Not always so wise, but sometimes they get it right. | ||
Actually, it's a tendency. | ||
Whether it's the election, inflation, interest rates. | ||
Or nearly any topic, prediction markets tend to be extremely accurate in forecasting the future. | ||
I think they actually nailed the election. | ||
Go check them out. | ||
See what the likelihood is that conservatives will win in the Canadian elections this year or other similar events. | ||

We appreciate the sponsoring the show. | ||
Don't forget to go to castbrew.com. | ||
Maybe pick up some Focus with Mr. Bocus. | ||
Or how about some Misty Mountains coffee? | ||
It's the best coffee. | ||
Everybody agrees. | ||

May 3rd. | ||
May not be sold. | ||
I'm not entirely sure. | ||
But we are going to bring up you guys from our Discord server to the debate stage at the table with us. | ||
Now, we want to do this every week. | ||
The pilot is May 3rd, and we're hoping that we will get them up weekly. | ||
The plan right now is monthly until we hammer all the details. | ||
If this first event goes really well, it will be a weekly event Saturday nights in the D.C. area where you as members get to submit your position on debate and then get invited up to debate. | ||
Think Kill Tony meets Jubilee. | ||
It's going to be fun. | ||

|
Thank you so much. | |
We're very happy to be here, right? | ||
Nobody does a better job than Tim Pool, and he has a beautiful hat, I have to say that. | ||
A lot of people give him a lot of, you know what, for wearing the hat, but I think it's a nice hat. | ||
I think it fits you very well. | ||
Thank you, Mr. President. | ||
Who are you really? | ||
unidentified
|
My name's Sean Farish. | |
It's an honor to be here. | ||
Thank you for having me. | ||
And I've been looking forward to this since it was set up, so it's going to be a fun night. | ||
I wonder if there's somebody just passively listening to the audio version, and they're like, wait, what? | ||
Mary's hanging out. | ||
Took me by surprise. | ||
Hi, everyone. | ||
My name is Mary Morgan. | ||
You can usually find me on Pop Culture Crisis here at TimCast, but I'm happy to be back. | ||
Hello, everybody. | ||
My name is Phil Labonte. | ||
I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. | ||
I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary. | ||
Let's get into it. | ||
Here we go. | ||
From the post-millennial, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, arrested in 2019 while meeting with MS-13 members, entered U.S. illegally in 2012. | ||
Yo, the things that they dropped on this guy. | ||
His rank of, how do you say that? | ||
Chequeo? Chequeo? | ||
I don't even know what that is. | ||
And his name was Chele. | ||
I want to show you this. | ||
We have this from Libs of TikTok. | ||
This video. | ||
Democrat U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen is in El Salvador demanding that President Bukele do the right thing and release an MS-13 gang member who was, quote, illegally abducted. | ||
Let's roll tape. | ||
Well, I'm asking President Bukele to... | ||
Okay. I'm asking President Bukele, under his authority as president of El Salvador, to do the right thing and allow Mr. Abrego Garcia... | ||
To walk out of a prison, a man who's charged with no crime, convicted of no crime, and who was illegally abducted from the United States. | ||
Illegally abducted. | ||
All right, well, let's roll, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Aside from that headline, we got this one. | ||
Kilmar Obrego Garcia allegedly physically abused his wife years before his deportation. | ||
So here's, this is just so stupid. | ||
I can't believe we're still on the story. | ||
Everybody who's listening who watches the show, you know exactly what this guy is. | ||
You know exactly what the DOJ has been saying about him and why he was deported. | ||
Let me just add on top of this. | ||
Withholding of deportation, that's what was currently in place from the courts. | ||
It is conditional and temporary. | ||
It can be voided if the circumstances in the home country of an individual have changed, thus the threat no longer exists. | ||
Obrego Garcia came to the United States. | ||
Nayib Bukele has cleaned up El Salvador to the point where it is one of the safest countries in the Western Hemisphere, if not the safest, he says it is. | ||
Clearly, there is no longer a threat to this man, and he can go home. | ||
So it sounds like the only error was that they needed what's called a USCIS interview to determine whether or not he could return home, but they did not do that. | ||
Now, the Trump administration has argued is that because of the Alien Enemies Act, withholding of deportation does not apply to terrorists under the AEA. | ||
And two different judges determined this guy was a member of the MS-13 gang. | ||
Now, here's what they got. | ||
The documents have been released. | ||
And it's not just, they say, a criminal informant. | ||
They actually mention that he was, Abrego Garcia was found with other, look at this, a member of the Prince George's County gang, Unit MS-13 Intelligence and Squad have encountered... | ||
How do you say that? | ||
Christian Hernandez-Ramare on multiple occasions. | ||
He has an extensive criminal history for multiple assaults, dangerous weapons, etc. | ||
And he was hanging out with these guys. | ||
So the simple version of the story is, when the cops picked him up, they saw him with guys they knew to be MS-13. | ||
He was wearing MS-13 gang clothes. | ||
Another informant identified him as a member of MS-13. | ||
And his rank and name used by the gang... | ||
And this is the reason why two different judges said, yep, looks pretty likely this guy's a member of the gang. | ||
Now, he should have been deported. | ||
He had a deportation order. | ||
It was upheld by an appellate court. | ||
They didn't deport him. | ||
The dude was skipping his hearings. | ||
He didn't file for asylum. | ||
And for this, he gets deported. | ||
Not only that, there was an order of protection that his wife filed, and now she's claiming he's the best husband ever. | ||
Jesse Waters on Fox News is saying he was closed fist beating his wife. | ||
I don't know how true that is or what happened in this hearing. | ||
But let me just say, Democrats walked into this one like sideshow Bob stepping on a rake. | ||
Best news, best part about this is that Democrats are actually going to El Salvador asking President Bukele to release essentially, you know, gang members. | ||
I'm not going to get into the... | ||
Whether or not they're terrorists, but asking them to release gang members that were in the United States illegally. | ||
There is nothing that I like better than when the Democrats take the side of the absolute bad guys on an 80-20 issue. | ||
And they continue to do it. | ||
I think they should send more people down there. | ||
They should send AOC down there. | ||
Bernie and AOC could go down there and have another rally like they've been doing, get them both together, have a big old rally. | ||
All the MS-13 guys can sit there and cheer for AOC, and I would love it. | ||
It'd be the best. | ||
If they're going to take this side, I mean, it's only good for Republicans and for Trump. | ||
Mary, are you happy now that this evil man has been removed from our direct vicinity? | ||
Because we live right here in Maryland. | ||
Why are you asking me specifically? | ||
Because you are a... | ||
I'm a West Virginian. | ||
Yeah, but we're like five minutes away from Maryland, and you are but a short and tiny white woman. | ||
I am a Marylander, actually, originally. | ||
Ah! You admit it. | ||
So it does make me proud of my state to not have this gang member in it anymore. | ||
Good. The story about his wife is kind of crazy. | ||
But he beat her? | ||
Well, claiming that... | ||
Their marriage grew stronger over time. | ||
You know, he's a good man at the end of the day, but she's, like, literally a battered housewife with, like, Stockholm Syndrome. | ||
They listed one of the gang members he was meeting with went by the name Bimbo. | ||
I don't know why that was his moniker in the gang, but I think she probably saw the name Bimbo pop up on his text messages and was like, who the fuck is this? | ||
And that's probably what precipitated the fight. | ||
What do you think, man? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, I think it's great that he's out of here. | |
The country's a safer place. | ||
But I think it's, and it's just par for the course for the left now, that no matter what Donald Trump does, if he says water is wet, it's dry, right? | ||
If I endorse oxygen, we love oxygen, right? | ||
They're going to hold their breath. | ||
That's what's going to happen. | ||
I mean, you live by TDS, you die by TDS. | ||
So now they're taking the side of, You know, someone who has been designated a terrorist or a member of a terrorist organization. | ||
These are the same people who said that the J6ers were terrorists, right? | ||
That parents at school board meetings were terrorists, bad people. | ||
But now they're saying that this guy, he's just a misunderstood Maryland father. | ||
The Democrats are, to your point, yes, they're taking the side of, you know, they do the, if it's... | ||
If Donald Trump likes it, then we're against it. | ||
But not only that, they're on the side of people that are firebombing Tesla dealerships. | ||
They're on the side of Luigi Mangione, who's a murderer. | ||
The Democrats literally cannot help but say, we like evil. | ||
Yeah. It's straight up where they're at. | ||
There is a meme portion to that. | ||
You know, Taylor Lorenz came out and said, oh, you know, in America, we've always, we've always, you know, we stand bad guys, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
I mean, even so much as... | ||
To the normies, now I know that the chat's going to have a conniption fit about me saying this, but to normies, Hamas are the bad guys, right? | ||
They look at Israel and they're like, Israel is America's ally and that means Hamas is the bad guys, but the Democrats are all waving Palestinian flag. | ||
Literally, the Democrats have gotten themselves into a position where they're just on the side of bad guys. | ||
Every time. | ||
Sorry. I just wanted to add, they're calling him Maryland Man in all of these sub-headlines in every single article. | ||
And it just reminds me of the game that they play every single time. | ||
It's something about black crime. | ||
They're called teens or youths. | ||
And similarly, they're going to continue referring to him as Maryland Man because, I don't know, he was here. | ||
Yep, because they're betting on regular people passively watching the news, and they've said a Maryland man who was legally here. | ||
None of it is true. | ||
unidentified
|
None of it is true. | |
He was here illegally. | ||
A withholding of deportation is not legal status. | ||
It's temporary protected status. | ||
It's not legal status. | ||
And what they're doing is they're saying he was legally here. | ||
We don't mean he was granted legal status, remaining that he was here with a temporary stay, meaning it was legal that he was here. | ||
It's like, okay, it's conditional. | ||
What claim would he have to asylum anyway? | ||
He didn't. | ||
He got denied. | ||
unidentified
|
And he said in that police report that originally, that 2019 I-213 form, that he did not fear going back to El Salvador. | |
So, you know, when you claim asylum, you're being persecuted. | ||
You're running from... | ||
What was his original claim to asylum then? | ||
I don't think he ever... | ||
unidentified
|
Did he ever claim it? | |
Yeah, he did. | ||
It was denied. | ||
Yeah, I think it was that if he goes home, he said MS-13 tried to force him to join the gang. | ||
Oh, right, right, right. | ||
And if he had to flee the country, if he goes back, they'll kill him. | ||
But meanwhile, he's hanging out with people known to be in that gang by the gang unit. | ||
So they're like, okay, this guy, he's wearing the same clothes as them. | ||
He's clearly in the gang. | ||
unidentified
|
I mean, if he walks like a duck is the phrase, right? | |
Yeah. And he's quacking and walking and he looks like a duck. | ||
Water's just rolling off his back. | ||
unidentified
|
We love ducks. | |
They really love evil stuff. | ||
They have taken the side of the bad guys, and I'm here for it. | ||
Every single time. | ||
unidentified
|
They used to hide it a little better, right? | |
Like, they used to... | ||
I feel like it was... | ||
They never... | ||
This is a full-on embrace now, right? | ||
Where maybe they would have ignored this story in the past or kind of, you know, maybe mentioned it once or twice and then said, oh, this guy's really bad news. | ||
Let's find something else. | ||
They are advocating for him to come back. | ||
Well, no, you just don't understand because he was involved in gang activity due to his childhood trauma. | ||
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
He never went to Freudian psychotherapy to resolve in himself. | ||
So he deserves to be here so he can continue that process of growth. | ||
This is a common thing that you see with the left. | ||
Anyways, it's a common thing you see. | ||
They don't believe that people have agency, right? | ||
So the people that are criminals, they're criminals because of the situation they're in, because of the way they grew up, etc. | ||
It's not that the criminals decided to do... | ||
Wait a minute. | ||
I kind of disagree with your point of view here. | ||
Go ahead, please. | ||
The question of whether or not these violent criminals have agency is kind of irrelevant because they should just be thrown in jail anyway. | ||
unidentified
|
Fair enough. | |
Fair enough. | ||
Honestly, personally, I don't think that they have a lot of agency. | ||
I think some of them just have a propensity to violence, and they're just psychopaths. | ||
They're just born that way. | ||
So you think that, well, okay, so they're not a product of their environment. | ||
They're just born bad people. | ||
I mean, I tend to agree with you, but the leftists, I don't think that, whereas I tend to agree with you, and I think that there is a lot of... | ||
A lot of people have certain proclivities, right? | ||
Like, if you're conservative, you're probably... | ||
You've got a significant portion of your conservative leaning is because of, like, longer time preferences or... | ||
Higher disgust factors. | ||
Things like that. | ||
You know, like the big five that Jordan Peterson talks about. | ||
IQ above 100. | ||
Fair enough. | ||
You can hold a job. | ||
General emotional stability. | ||
But I think that what I'm talking about is more the way that the left kind of makes excuses for people that act. | ||
They say, well, it's not their fault. | ||
It's the conditions that they're in. | ||
And they do it. | ||
You hear people that, again, the Israel-Palestine thing, people always say, well, you know, what would you do if you were in Palestine? | ||
I wouldn't go into Israel and kidnap people. | ||
You know, it's like, you may have a problem with the fight, but I wouldn't be getting, you know, when the actual terrorists went into Israel, I wouldn't have been jumping on mopeds and be like, yo, let's go grab some Jews and bring them back. | ||
I wouldn't have done that. | ||
That is what I would not have. | ||
They want to believe that... | ||
Crime happens to criminals. | ||
Exactly. And the same thing when it comes to the Ukraine-Russia, right? | ||
There are a lot of people that are out there making excuses for Russia invading Ukraine. | ||
And it's like, well, you know... | ||
Look, I mean, I understand that the U.S. foreign policy, you know, led up. | ||
Let's not derail that far. | ||
Well, I'm just saying that's something that you hear a lot. | ||
People taking agency away from the actors. | ||
Like, Putin's the guy that said we're going to go in. | ||
Well, Sean was going to say something. | ||
unidentified
|
Just basically to add on to that is that the left will go and find something horrible and try and justify it or say, well, you know, they have a point. | |
Mangione's a great example where they say, well, the health care industry is so evil. | ||
And it may be. | ||
I'm not going to deny that there's bad practices in the health insurance industry. | ||
But the solution to that is not to kill CEOs on the street. | ||
Absolutely. And that's the thing. | ||
So there's common ground there if we want to find it, right? | ||
Where we can say, all right, health care, health insurance, there's a lot that we may want to fix. | ||
There's a lot of things you may feel slighted by whoever is your insurance provider. | ||
But the solution isn't to murder the CEO. | ||
First of all, it wasn't the CEO who did it. | ||
He didn't deny that person's care. | ||
He's just the CEO of the company. | ||
It was new. | ||
If my T-Mobile went down, I wouldn't... | ||
The CEO must die because I have no service in the hills. | ||
That's just not the way a rational person thinks. | ||
Let's jump to the story from CNN. | ||
Abrego Garcia's wife responds... | ||
To Trump administration publicizing civil protective order from 2021. | ||
You know, why is everybody calling him a Brego Garcia? | ||
I just realized his name is Kilmar, isn't it? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, well. | |
Maybe they don't like that name. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't think so. | |
It doesn't sound like a very Maryland man type of name, right? | ||
I mean, Kilmore? | ||
You know. | ||
Kilmore, MS-13 gang member. | ||
Such nominal determinism every time. | ||
Yeah, so check it out. | ||
The wife of the... | ||
Maryland man. | ||
I'm going to fix this real quick. | ||
Can I fix this? | ||
Can I go in and edit it? | ||
I got to fix this. | ||
There we go. | ||
Maryland man. | ||
So for those that are watching, you'll understand this. | ||
unidentified
|
The wife of the terrorist. | |
Enter. Did we get it? | ||
I fixed it. | ||
There we go. | ||
The wife of the terrorist who the U.S. government mistakenly deported to El Salvador. | ||
Okay, I'm not going to do that again. | ||
Acknowledged she had filed a civil protective order against him for four years ago, but said it was out of an abundance of caution that | ||
No, she's just a ride-or-die hoe. | ||
Like El Chapo's wife. | ||
She just said she had no idea about any of the criminal activity. | ||
I've never heard anyone more ride or die than El Chapo's wife. | ||
I don't know what you're talking about. | ||
unidentified
|
An abundance of caution for what, though? | |
What was she being cautious about? | ||
Nobody wants to ask that question. | ||
Left and right. | ||
unidentified
|
Exactly, right? | |
So you're being cautious. | ||
Why did you feel like you had to be cautious? | ||
Right? That's it. | ||
Because he's beating her up with closed fists. | ||
That's why. | ||
She burnt the enchiladas. | ||
unidentified
|
You don't understand. | |
That does suck. | ||
You know, I like my enchiladas. | ||
You're just not, like, really stepping into his shoes and, like, understanding. | ||
unidentified
|
Not understanding him, no. | |
Well, I mean, look. | ||
You know, he's trafficking humans. | ||
He's trafficking humans. | ||
And at the same time trafficking mud on the carpet. | ||
And she's yelling at him. | ||
And then he gets physical, right? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. That is a joke, by the way. | |
That is not a statement of fact. | ||
Let me read more. | ||
DHS posted portions of the order on X Wednesday and described Obrego Garcia as an MS-13 gang member who is not a sympathetic figure. | ||
The Trump administration's release of the documents comes as part of a renewed push to portray Obrego Garcia, who has not been charged with or convicted of any crime, is a violent and dangerous criminal, and a member of MS-13. | ||
Obrego Garcia's wife and lawyers have denied he is part of a gang. | ||
Well, two judges said he was. | ||
In a statement to CNN... | ||
Vasquez Sura said she sought civil protective order after a disagreement with Obrego Garcia. | ||
Oh, so she was falsely accusing him of domestic violence? | ||
Because in the filing, it says domestic violence. | ||
So, okay, she's right. | ||
Obrego didn't do anything wrong. | ||
Trump, lock her up. | ||
She filed the false report. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, go after her. | |
That's it. | ||
Yeah. There you go. | ||
Pretty simple. | ||
Well, things did not escalate and I decided not to follow through with the civil court process. | ||
We were able to work through the situation privately as a family. | ||
Including by going to counseling. | ||
Our marriage only grew stronger in the years that followed. | ||
No one is perfect and no marriage is perfect. | ||
Lady, I got news for you. | ||
If you're filing domestic violence petitions, we ain't talking about whether it's imperfect. | ||
We're talking whether or not you're going to die. | ||
And, you know, maybe the reason she's doing this is because MS-13 is threatening her. | ||
That's true. | ||
unidentified
|
That could be. | |
They're like, we want you to go out in a statement and say he's a good guy. | ||
And she's like, oh no. | ||
You know what's really funny? | ||
Honestly, she filed a protection against this guy. | ||
He gets deported. | ||
She might have been very happy. | ||
Like, oh, thank God. | ||
And the reason why she ultimately doesn't follow through with the domestic violence petition is because MS-13 will come after her. | ||
And so she's like, even if I win here, I lose there. | ||
Now, I think there's a possibility that MS-13 and other gangs went to the wife and said, go and say he's a good guy and say he's not in the gang, or else. | ||
So now you've got this woman, and I don't think it's unreasonable to say, what... | ||
What is the proof that when she filed a domestic violence petition, she intended not to follow through with it? | ||
When I go to a bar in the bathrooms, you ever see the signs where it's like, are you being trafficked? | ||
And it's like, here's the hand sign you have to do. | ||
And there's some bathrooms in bars where there's like little red ribbons and the women are supposed to take them and then hand them to the bartender. | ||
And that signals the bartender to call the police because they can't speak up about things. | ||
So here's a guy. | ||
That two judges have said is in MS-13. | ||
Hanging out with MS-13 guys. | ||
His wife filed a domestic violence petition and now all of a sudden she's going, no, actually everything's okay. | ||
I'm like, okay, well, I learned from going to a bar that sometimes people who are telling you it's fine are secretly being trafficked or under threat. | ||
Yeah. So thank you, CNN. | ||
Wow. I don't know. | ||
Just speculating. | ||
Maybe she should go into witness protection. | ||
Yeah, I don't think you escape a gang like that. | ||
unidentified
|
You know what I mean? | |
They're brutal. | ||
Yes. MS-13, when I grew up on Long Island, they took over a whole town. | ||
It's Brentwood on Long Island. | ||
And they're brutal. | ||
Now, Trenda de Aragua makes them look like Boy Scouts. | ||
But these guys, they chop body parts, the Colombian necktie. | ||
I mean, it's bad. | ||
And they don't mess around. | ||
When you're on their list... | ||
Wait, what is the Colombian... | ||
unidentified
|
When they kill someone, they pull your tongue through the throat and leave it on the body. | |
Yeah. Oh. | ||
Yep. It's disgusting. | ||
I had no idea what that was. | ||
unidentified
|
This was something that happened. | |
Long Island's like a nice suburban little... | ||
What's it called when they put the tires around you? | ||
Necklacing? Necklacing. | ||
unidentified
|
What do they do? | |
They put it around your whole body or just your neck? | ||
Top of the neck. | ||
unidentified
|
Jeez. Oh my goodness. | |
Bro, it is wild. | ||
unidentified
|
Those are the people the Democrats want to bring back. | |
That guy... | ||
Now, I'm not saying he did any of that. | ||
We don't know. | ||
But he was a part of that gang. | ||
That routinely did those things. | ||
Like on Long Island, if some story came in the papers that said that there was a dismembered body part found in the woods, the first thing you would think was MS-13. | ||
Without even thinking twice. | ||
That's the people, that's the type of person that Senator Van Hollen is down there trying to bring back. | ||
Again, I don't know if he did any of that, but you're a part of that gang, you know. | ||
Just so long as Democrats are unsuccessful in their efforts, I am all for their efforts because most of the American people look at this and say, what is wrong with you? | ||
That's why the media is lying. | ||
Well, yeah, the media, of course the media lies, but I think that nowadays most people don't watch the mainstream media. | ||
I think that they'll look to podcasts or look to other forms of news. | ||
Yes, but you know that Midas Touch and David Pakman are using the same talking points. | ||
Yeah, but I don't know. | ||
Is it your sense that those people that watch David Pakman could be reached? | ||
Or do you believe that they... | ||
Because I feel like people that watch Pakman, people that watch Midas Touch, those people are already going to be like whatever the Democrats say. | ||
There's no middle. | ||
There's no middle at all? | ||
We actually have the data, and we've gone over the charts on this show. | ||
The middle is like 3% of the country at this point. | ||
So certainly it matters to a degree, of course, but that 3%, how much are actually watching the news, and that's why they're in the middle, and it's going to be like 27% of 3% actually actively pays attention. | ||
So you're saying that there's no point in even... | ||
Addressing it? | ||
No, I'm saying that we do this show to call it out every single day. | ||
We want people to share this show, and we are hoping that by exposing how they've lied, people who are in the cult might break free. | ||
But there's not like an undecided individual who's like, I'm not sure who we can talk to about this. | ||
No, it's not about them trying to find out who they can talk to, but it's about... | ||
Platforms like ours and like others trying to make sure that the narrative that the Democrats are putting out, that the truth comes out, you know, and the average person that doesn't go out and search for this information or even the people that do make sure that the truth is out there. | ||
I just mean that there's a large contingent in this country that are going to turn on David Pakman and he's going to lie about every element of this story and they're going to believe him. | ||
That was the initial point. | ||
Yeah, I don't disagree with you. | ||
Yeah. But I do think that there are still people that get their news in small bits, the kind of people that are not super plugged in, but they'll go and they'll watch an hour, two hours worth of news. | ||
You have to make sure that they have the ability to hear the actual truth of the story, which is he's not a Maryland man. | ||
Right. I mean, the funny thing, too, is how long was he even in Maryland? | ||
Six years or seven years, something like that. | ||
So it's like, the guy is, how old is he? | ||
Like 39 or 40? | ||
I don't even know how old he is. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Like a tiny portion of his life. | ||
unidentified
|
38, something like that. | |
Like he's a Maryland man. | ||
Yeah. Like where was he before this? | ||
unidentified
|
El Salvador? | |
That's the attempt to kind of distract from the fact that he's illegal, right? | ||
You know, because you're not allowed to use that term. | ||
So they say he's from Maryland. | ||
Because that's where he was. | ||
But that's not where he's from. | ||
He was resting his head here for just a moment. | ||
I grew up in New York. | ||
I live in Tennessee. | ||
But I wouldn't say that I'm from Tennessee yet. | ||
I've been there for two years. | ||
I grew up in New York for 31. I'm from New York. | ||
I live in Tennessee. | ||
And I love it. | ||
I call Tennessee my home. | ||
We bought a house there. | ||
It's a great state. | ||
When people ask where I'm from, my response is always, well, I grew up in New York. | ||
I live in Tennessee now because I spent 31 years of my life in New York and three years of my life in Tennessee, right? | ||
So where is this guy actually from? | ||
Well, he was in Maryland when this whole deportation happened, but he's from El Salvador, right? | ||
They can't admit that. | ||
They can't put that. | ||
It's branding. | ||
They have to brand him a Maryland man. | ||
You know? | ||
It's anything. | ||
Anything you see in the supermarket. | ||
Yoo-hoo. | ||
They don't call it chocolate milk, right? | ||
It's chocolate drink, right? | ||
Because it's not milk and it's a whole... | ||
Like, you have to brand him a certain way to garner that sympathy. | ||
So to say that you just mistakenly deported a guy from Maryland, that sounds horrible. | ||
But you didn't just mistakenly deport a guy from Maryland. | ||
You intentionally deported an illegal alien who belonged to a terrorist organization out of Maryland because... | ||
He was a danger to the people in Maryland. | ||
Yeah. I mean, it's good that the Trump administration had the, what's it called, the press conference that they did today. | ||
And they had the evidence that shows that he's, you know, all these terrible things. | ||
But at the end of the day, like, that's kind of an aside because he's here illegally. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. So immediately he's ripe for deportation. | |
It's not like one of these things where he came, overstayed his visa, and that's a civil violation. | ||
He admitted. | ||
I walked across the desert for a few days and entered the country illegally in 2012. | ||
So on that alone, that's a crime. | ||
Out. Goodbye. | ||
Alright, here we go, ladies and gentlemen, from the Washington Post. | ||
Judge Boasberg to launch contempt proceedings into the Trump administration. | ||
Oh boy. | ||
Is the judge going to try to arrest Donald Trump's lawyers, U.S. attorneys? | ||
Who would be doing the arresting? | ||
The argument is that warrants would be issued and any jurisdiction would pick him up. | ||
Really? But the... | ||
I don't think anyone's going to arrest U.S. attorneys. | ||
This is a massive gambit on Judge Bosberg's part, and this is the game. | ||
Someone had to escalate this to executive authority. | ||
Check this out. | ||
The Washington Post says chief U.S. District Judge James E. Boesburg of Washington, D.C. on Wednesday said he would launch proceedings to determine whether any Trump administration officials defied his order not to remove Venezuelan migrants from the country based on the wartime | ||
He says, blah, blah. | ||
Boesberg's order is the latest development. | ||
He basically said that there was probable cause... | ||
He said, the statement he gave out, I don't know if they have it in here, probable cause determined that contempt of court did occur. | ||
And essentially what this means is, not yet they're going to have a hearing on contempt, but he's basically fired a shot across the bow at Donald Trump. | ||
Now I will ask y'all, what happens? | ||
If he actually tries to issue, if he actually does issue a warrant to have Trump's attorneys or anyone in his administration arrested. | ||
I mean, I don't know exactly who, it depends on who the arresting authority is, right? | ||
Well, I mean, the argument is, does no one try to arrest them? | ||
Like, what happens if a judge says... | ||
Warrant, go arrest Trump's U.S. attorneys. | ||
Yeah, I'm not sure who would actually be the, who would have jurisdiction, because I would assume the Department of Justice has to. | ||
If the warrant gets issued, doesn't that go out to all departments and agencies and they look up someone's information? | ||
Is a cop going to be like, there's a warrant, but I don't agree with it, so I'm not going to arrest you? | ||
unidentified
|
That's interesting. | |
I don't know. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I don't. | |
Isn't this the case that was just kind of overruled by the Supreme Court, though, that Donald Trump was... | ||
It was within his authority. | ||
So can he even do that? | ||
I mean, can he actually hold them in contempt for something the Supreme Court said isn't a something? | ||
Like, there's no there there anymore. | ||
So hasn't his authority essentially been overridden in this case? | ||
It's a judicial coup. | ||
unidentified
|
That's what it is. | |
It's likely that regardless of the Supreme Court's ruling, he had a ruling that was defied, and they went to the Supreme Court, so he's making a side argument. | ||
It's kind of like when you get arrested for resisting arrest. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, okay, okay. | |
Yeah, who does the arresting, though? | ||
That's an interesting... | ||
I don't know. | ||
unidentified
|
Who does it go out to? | |
I guess the big question is, is this criminal contempt? | ||
It is. | ||
He wants them to face criminal contempt charges. | ||
So a cursory search. | ||
It's a willful disobeying of the court's criminal contempt. | ||
So what will happen next is a contempt finding will be issued. | ||
The judge will enter a formal ruling. | ||
It can be a summons, fines, or even jail time. | ||
The U.S. Attorney's Office would would likely seek appeal, which may work. | ||
DOJ leadership may get involved. | ||
If criminal if criminal criminal contempt is upheld, the attorney could be fined or jailed, although jailing a federal prosecutor is exceptionally rare and would provoke a major legal and constitutional standoff. | ||
If it's tied to a politically sensitive case, it could trigger congressional investigations, DOJ reviews, and massive media attention. | ||
That's about it. | ||
There was, let's see, a federal judge threatened DOJ attorneys in 2015 with contempt in an immigration case. | ||
Interesting. He stopped short of any sanctions. | ||
So we will see. | ||
We will see. | ||
It's hard to know what, but what would happen. | ||
But this is him basically saying, like, criminal contempt, we want to put you in jail. | ||
unidentified
|
He's going to try it. | |
I mean, he's already threatening it. | ||
I think he's going to follow through. | ||
He thinks who he is, right? | ||
And I think this highlights another problem that we have, obviously, with the judicial branch in the country, where one district court judge, one ruling from a district court judge. | ||
I mean, these district court judges actually have more power than a singular Supreme Court justice. | ||
You know, it takes five on the Supreme Court to push a ruling through. | ||
That's interesting. | ||
unidentified
|
One from him. | |
And you have a national block. | ||
Which is unconstitutional and brings us to the ongoing constitutional crisis that is happening in this country. | ||
Donald Trump needs to start ignoring all the orders. | ||
And I think I think Trump knows this. | ||
And I think the play he's currently making is he's got to be careful because perception is reality. | ||
Right. If he is going around laughing, saying no one can stop me and the courts won't do a thing about it, then he's going to the public will stand against them. | ||
Like people are going to freak out and be like, whoa. | ||
Yeah. But if Trump says we're doing everything we're supposed to be doing, what are they talking about? | ||
Then people are going to be more confused and more willing to see what's going on. | ||
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I'm certainly not an expert in this judicial process. | ||
I mean, this is probably unprecedented. | ||
unidentified
|
Right? Well, none of this whole injunction thing, at the rate that it's happening now, happened under Biden. | |
Under anyone. | ||
unidentified
|
Under anyone ever. | |
And they'll say, well, that's because Biden didn't, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
He didn't break the law. | ||
Like, did he not defy the Supreme Court with a student loan? | ||
Let me pause you on that argument. | ||
Universal injunctions are unconstitutional, period. | ||
Judges have authority only over those in their court proceeding. | ||
So if you and Mary were in a lawsuit to me, I could only say you and you. | ||
I couldn't say the whole nation. | ||
And they've done 81 of these. | ||
64 in Trump's first term and 17 so far into a second. | ||
More than any other president and around half of all universal injunctions ever issued. | ||
And they are not constitutional. | ||
Trump and the DOJ need to bring this up. | ||
This needs to be their fight. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, yeah, because it's judicial tyranny is what it is. | |
And you have, it's supposed to be separate but equal branches. | ||
It's a coup. | ||
Each branch is supposed to have equal power. | ||
And it's not. | ||
Right now, a district court judge A district court judge has more power than a Supreme Court justice. | ||
It doesn't make any sense. | ||
And a district court judge can decide that he's the president now and can start telling the executive branch how to do their job. | ||
And within the authority, you know, like the trans ban in the military. | ||
Donald Trump is the commander in chief of the military. | ||
A judge shouldn't be able to tell Donald Trump how to... | ||
That's not their lane. | ||
You can't get in that lane. | ||
And the idea that a judge should be able to affect the whole country like this, we have an executive, we have the separation of powers for a reason. | ||
And a judge stepping into what the executive is doing in all of these different, like every single different arena that the president is trying to act in. | ||
And there are multiple judges that are stepping in the way. | ||
They're literally taking the authority away from the president. | ||
Which was given to him, and I've said this multiple times, the only person elected by the whole of the electorate, right, the whole country, is the president. | ||
Congress and the Senate, they're elected by their constituents in the... | ||
Congressional districts and the states, the only person elected by the whole of the electorate is the president, and the president won clearly with the majority of the vote, right? | ||
77 million people, didn't win just by the electoral college, won the popular vote, and of course won the electoral college. | ||
He had... | ||
He had a mandate from the American people to do these things, and now the judges are stepping in because they're politically motivated. | ||
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
This is not about—this is all politically motivated. | ||
I got a question for the listeners. | ||
If you were the U.S. attorney or the DOJ and the judge issued a fine for criminal contempt, would you say, thank you, Your Honor, I will pay it post-haste, or would you say, shove it? | ||
Honest question. | ||
Put one in the chat for bending the knee to the judge and two in the chat for giving him the middle finger. | ||
And, you know, the reason I ask this, I'm just, I'm curious why it doesn't happen. | ||
You know, like, at this point, why isn't the Trump attorneys and the DOJ just laughing at the judge, being like, bro, you're a district court judge. | ||
You don't mean ish. | ||
Right. You can't do nothing about it. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
I think the only reason why is that you just mentioned public perception and would it be something that the public looks at and, you know, does the normie crowd understand that he's a district court judge? | ||
Do they know what that means? | ||
Or does it look like Donald Trump is violating a court order and that's bad? | ||
You know, I don't know what they're thinking. | ||
It's twos. | ||
It's like 100% twos. | ||
Everyone's saying, like, screw this judge. | ||
unidentified
|
Screw the judge. | |
I'm on the screw the judge train. | ||
Look, man, what would you do, Phil? | ||
If you were in court and this judge said, I'm going to fine you for criminal contempt, would you be like, I will pay? | ||
Or would you be like, nah. | ||
I'd be like, call me contempt up here. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. Yeah. | |
Indeed. Yeah. | ||
That's why this is all, you know, we had a hand out yesterday. | ||
Hannah Cox, she was saying that she fears it'll escalate to like a civil war with this tit for tat that's ongoing. | ||
But it's like the day after she's here saying it's a tit for tat, it's escalating. | ||
It's the Democrat judges threatening to imprison or fine. | ||
Trump's legal team. | ||
And they did. | ||
And the Supreme Court actually said that they could not be compelled to engage in foreign policy actions like this. | ||
Right. So it don't matter if Judge Bosberg thinks they're in contempt. | ||
The Supreme Court said you couldn't have ordered this in the first place. | ||
Right. Well, I guess, to be fair, he's arguing that he wanted a detailed timeline on how this all went down. | ||
And they cited, I guess, state secrets, executive privilege of some sort. | ||
unidentified
|
Sure. Yeah, that's what they said. | |
State secrets was state secrets. | ||
And the judge has no right to these things. | ||
No. Bye-bye. | ||
That's it. | ||
unidentified
|
They should ignore that order. | |
Look, we, you know, call it a cold civil war, call it whatever you want. | ||
You've got judges issuing unconstitutional edict over this nation at rates we've never seen before. | ||
It is unprecedented, you know? | ||
You got all these young people that are like, nothing ever happens. | ||
And it won't stop happening! | ||
unidentified
|
Right, right. | |
He's been on you about that. | ||
Really stuck with you, huh? | ||
I mean, look, the fact of the matter is, like we talked about this before, you know, this wouldn't be the situation if the previous administration had not been totally lawless when it comes to the border. | ||
Yeah. Like, if the Biden administration had done their job... | ||
And if Joe Biden had not specifically said to people, surge the border. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. Come. | |
He said that in the debate. | ||
And if you think that people around the world don't listen when the president talks, you are wrong. | ||
Right. You are just wrong. | ||
He made that statement, and consequently, there was an... | ||
Wave after wave after wave of people coming to this country that have come into the United States. | ||
They're seeking asylum, but they didn't go to ports of entry, which is the proper way to do it. | ||
They would just come across the border, and when they would eventually bump into a border patrol or whatever, they'd say, I'm seeking asylum. | ||
And for some reason, the border patrol would say, okay, let's take care of you as if this is the proper way to seek asylum. | ||
If you came here seeking asylum... | ||
And you didn't go to the port of entry, you're here illegally, and you gotta go back. | ||
unidentified
|
That's it. | |
You gotta leave. | ||
unidentified
|
That's it. | |
We gotta toss them out. | ||
This is the current administration trying to fix the lawlessness of the previous administration, and over and over, the courts are literally getting in the way, upholding the illegal actions or preventing the remedy to illegal actions by the previous administration. | ||
unidentified
|
You know, I say it all the time. | |
No matter where he is. | ||
Laws only matter if they're enforced. | ||
And the proof is in the pudding right now. | ||
95% drop in border encounters on the southern border. | ||
And there was no new legislation passed. | ||
Trump said it in his state. | ||
All we needed, right? | ||
Was a new president. | ||
And a beautiful president. | ||
And I highly respect that he's a beautiful guy. | ||
But seriously, Biden, they didn't enforce the laws that we had on the books. | ||
Right? So, you know, I make this example. | ||
I get pulled over for speeding, but the law is such that paying the fine is optional. | ||
I'm not paying it because there's no enforcement. | ||
There's nothing compelling me to give somebody else my money for a traffic citation or whatever it is. | ||
IRS sends me a signed, beautiful, you never have to pay taxes again and we promise you're not going to jail. | ||
They will not get another dollar out of me. | ||
I'm not going to pay it just to feel warm and fuzzy. | ||
I'm just not paying. | ||
The problem is that's not the case. | ||
They enforce those laws. | ||
They didn't enforce the laws down on the border. | ||
When Biden, when these people don't, you know, when, what was it? | ||
Don't, right? | ||
Was that one word policy? | ||
You know, but it was, you know, if you're not enforcing the law, then the law doesn't matter. | ||
Trump and his administration is enforcing the law, so the law matters. | ||
The problem is you have these courts that are basically saying the enforcement of the law is illegal, but it's the law. | ||
It's frustrating. | ||
This is the constitutional crisis, and it is that. | ||
The judiciary is asserting constitutional correctness, as is the executive. | ||
Both are saying we are right and you can't do this. | ||
And guys, this is the issue that we've talked about when it comes to the concept of civil war. | ||
When two factions reach the highest level of government, right now the judiciary, which is propped up by Democrats and these people were all appointed by Democrats or largely, are outright saying our worldview is correct and your worldview is wrong. | ||
Yeah. Yeah. | ||
to stay coarse and defend the Constitution. | ||
The argument the left is going to make, the liberals are making, is that Trump is violating the Constitution. | ||
He's in fact not. | ||
He's abiding by it perfectly. | ||
They are in violation of the Constitution. | ||
If Trump does not stop them, he has abandoned his oath to the Constitution. | ||
unidentified
|
That's a good point. | |
You know, and you mentioned reality has a right-wing bias, which is an interesting way to phrase it. | ||
But I think when Bukele was in the Oval Office, they had a conversation and Trump said, you know, the people that are running it right now, it's not conservative, it's common sense. | ||
And I think that just kind of goes to what you're saying, that reality has that right-wing bias, right? | ||
In other words... | ||
Donald Trump has espoused a lot of common sense positions, right? | ||
Securing the border is a common sense position. | ||
You can ask anybody, right, left, center, up or down, do you lock the door to your home at night because you hate the people on the outside? | ||
I hope you don't live in that type of neighborhood. | ||
Or because you love the people on the inside because you want to protect what's yours. | ||
And it's like, well, of course I lock my door, right? | ||
Well, apply that to the country. | ||
You know, you don't just let people into your house without permission if you don't know who they are. | ||
I wouldn't. | ||
Okay? Unless we get a SWAT call and I really have no choice sometimes. | ||
But, you know, I wouldn't let somebody in my house, if I don't know who they are, they're not coming in. | ||
That's the point, right? | ||
Well, we do have some news on this front. | ||
From the New York Post, Trump administration refers New York Attorney General Letitia James for potential prosecution over alleged mortgage fraud. | ||
This is crazy. | ||
It's like, there's so many instances it's hard to even go through all of them. | ||
In one instance... | ||
She was buying a house in Norfolk, Virginia, which she listed as her primary residence, and she did this, they say, to secure favorable terms. | ||
It said it was her primary home. | ||
Quote, it appears Ms. James' property and mortgage-related misrepresentations may have continued to her recent 2023 Norfolk VA property purchase in order to secure a lower interest rate and more favorable loan terms. | ||
If her primary residence was in Virginia, she is ineligible for being AG. | ||
And apparently this happened in 2023 while she was preparing her case against Donald Trump for civil fraud pertaining to the accusation that Trump inflated his assets for more favorable loan terms, of which is a total lie. | ||
They also want to mention that she misrepresented a building as having four units when it had five. | ||
Why? Because there was a restriction, I believe, on some mortgage applications where you couldn't get a five-unit building. | ||
In order to qualify for a special loan, it had to be four or less. | ||
So she lied about the size of her building for more favorable terms. | ||
That's what she accused Trump of doing, which was also a lie. | ||
The question now is, we've seen nothing but half measures. | ||
Judge Boasberg says, contempt of court. | ||
Hearings to maybe determine whether or not you did. | ||
Housing, what is it, the housing finance agency? | ||
Saying, you should prosecute. | ||
Maybe they will. | ||
And then this morning you had Pam Bondi say, we are suing Maine for having men and women in sports and considering, maybe, at some point, just a little bit, taking away their money. | ||
Like, how about anybody just do something? | ||
unidentified
|
Go in. | |
Arrest Letitia James. | ||
Criminally charge her for mortgage fraud. | ||
unidentified
|
Let's roll. | |
Yeah, I'm with that. | ||
Because, again, what I just said, laws are only laws that are enforced. | ||
If you give her this carve-out, Then you're setting the precedent that what she did is okay. | ||
And you just can't do that. | ||
She tried to set the precedent that what Donald Trump didn't do was something that he did to the tune of a $450 million judgment, right? | ||
She listed her father as her husband. | ||
She's not even married. | ||
It's not one of those things where, oops, I made a mistake and put dad's name where hubby's name is supposed to. | ||
You don't have a husband. | ||
Maybe she's banging her dad. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, I hope not, you know? | |
It'll be like some Ilhan Omar type stuff. | ||
Some people did something. | ||
See, we instantly... | ||
unidentified
|
We had to do it, right? | |
Jar Jar Binks, we call it Jar Jar Binks. | ||
I forgot what I was going to say. | ||
It's such a great impression. | ||
It's so distracting. | ||
Oh, right, right. | ||
Some people... | ||
I'd say most people, because we're reasonable and obviously incest is wrong, when you hear that she listed her dad as her husband, you're like, she must have been lying to secure loan terms. | ||
And it's like, wait, wait, maybe she's just gross. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, she could be. | |
She looks like Sasquatch. | ||
Look at her. | ||
That's Sasquatch. | ||
You will not see anything different. | ||
You look up a picture of what Sasquatch looks like, same person. | ||
No, she's not blurry enough. | ||
Right, yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
She hasn't been taken on a Nokia flip phone. | |
And I gotta give a shout out to Mitch Hedberg for that one. | ||
What is his joke? | ||
Maybe Sasquatch is just blurry? | ||
That dude was a legend. | ||
But look. | ||
In terms of the escalation, the question is, the Trump administration has saber-rattled quite a bit. | ||
Now these judges are saber-rattling. | ||
Is any one of them actually going to say, okay, let's go arrest people? | ||
Trump's pulled clearances. | ||
The rumor is when he pulled the clearances of Hillary Clinton and Biden and Secret Service and all that, it's preparation for an arrest. | ||
I would argue, with midterm season starting in not even a year, It's going to be less than that, to be honest. | ||
We're already in the 2028 primary cycle with Shapiro and Newsom. | ||
Trump's got a very limited window to do bold things. | ||
If he waits a year to issue indictments, that will upset the midterms and could hurt him. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I think it'll demotivate the base. | |
I mean, we heard about retribution, right? | ||
And I don't think retribution was supposed to be... | ||
Half measures. | ||
And I'm not saying I'm disappointed in what he's done his first 100 days. | ||
I'm very happy with how a lot of things have started off. | ||
But he's got to go all the way on at least some of it. | ||
I'm not saying you've got to round up everybody and take broadcasting licenses away from everybody and indict and arrest like crazy, like whack-a-mole. | ||
Something's got to happen. | ||
I mean, Letitia James, this should be low-hanging fruit. | ||
She lied on this. | ||
It looks like it anyway, right? | ||
Unless this was a calamity of coincidences, which I don't believe in. | ||
There's no way that what she did isn't mortgage fraud, if she actually did that, you know, intentionally, which it looks like she did. | ||
Well, she responded. | ||
I am not afraid of no president. | ||
Oh, God. | ||
Come on. | ||
No, stop, gentlemen. | ||
Gentlemen, once again, you're making an incorrect assumption. | ||
That's a double negative in which she's saying she may be afraid of some president. | ||
unidentified
|
That's true. | |
She says she's coming for Trump. | ||
I'm not afraid of no president, so you are afraid of some president. | ||
Donald Trump, we are ready for you. | ||
We're coming for you. | ||
Let me just stress that the appellate court has been sitting on their ruling in the civil fraud case for seven months, which is very weird. | ||
Yeah. Makes no sense. | ||
I think that this was clearly deep state versus Trump, and the appellate court knows if they issue a ruling, they're either saying we will help the deep state or we will help Trump, and they don't know who's going to win, so they're just doing nothing. | ||
unidentified
|
They're waiting, sitting on their hands, kind of seeing which way the wind blows. | |
The wind blows, yeah. | ||
I ain't afraid of no president. | ||
Okay, well, Sasquatch. | ||
But again, we all learned our double negatives. | ||
Okay, you don't do that. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. What did he say? | |
So I've got to rush back to the office because you know that there's nothing more close to my heart than a lawsuit. | ||
And so you tell Donald Trump the lawsuit's coming in a matter of hours. | ||
Uh-huh. | ||
Okay. And then she said a bunch of stuff I don't care to read. | ||
I just want to see some people get arrested, you know what I mean? | ||
I mean, that's kind of something that I was thinking. | ||
The whole issue surrounding the real estate stuff, I feel like it's fairly obvious that that was corrupt. | ||
And I don't know the process that you'd have to go through, or the DOJ would have to go through, but I really feel like, hey, shouldn't you be investigating this? | ||
This is clearly a BS charge, and isn't there some kind of violation of the law? | ||
When all the parties involved said, no, we're happy with this situation, and they blatantly... | ||
I don't know. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Again, I don't know, but I feel like there should be some kind of law that was broken. | ||
I feel like that is illegal somehow, and why is it that the DOJ hasn't started to investigate that kind of stuff? | ||
unidentified
|
I can't answer that question. | |
I'm not going to get arrested. | ||
No, I mean, I don't think so either. | ||
Well, even for this, you don't think so? | ||
No. It's all bravado, and nothing ever happens. | ||
Right again. | ||
unidentified
|
I hope this is the exception to the rule. | |
When I lived in New York, I never liked this lady. | ||
Before I figured out that she looked like Sasquatch, I still never liked her. | ||
Are you saying that you would have liked someone else more? | ||
unidentified
|
Probably not. | |
Yeah, I probably wouldn't like any. | ||
I don't like any Democrats in New York. | ||
You have Kathy Hochul. | ||
No, but you said even, what did you say, even before? | ||
unidentified
|
Before she looked like Sasquatch. | |
Right, so the implication is that there are some people you've not met that you would like more if you saw them and they looked like Sasquatch. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, if I... | |
I agree with that. | ||
If I knew a dude, but I only ever talked to him on the phone, and I showed up, and Sasquatch was there, I'd be like, yes. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I'd be like, we found him. | |
Right? It's like, finally, we got something. | ||
I want to see her. | ||
She is such... | ||
She is... | ||
There are things I want to say we can't say, right? | ||
But she is such a detestable person. | ||
And she's carried herself in this, you know, how many times did she post on X? | ||
Nobody's above the law. | ||
And she's doing this, right? | ||
Her insolence should be smacked down. | ||
Right. That's not going to happen. | ||
That's what I feel like. | ||
Like if she got arrested, I'd be like, oh, karma's a bitch. | ||
But like, she's not going to get arrested. | ||
Then I would finally admit that something happened. | ||
They arrested Donald Trump? | ||
Twice. Is that not a thing happening? | ||
Okay, that's a happening. | ||
Fine. And that was only last year. | ||
Like, they literally arrested him. | ||
Yeah. It was funny because we kept saying, like, maybe they'll arrest him. | ||
Actually, no, wait, he's been arrested several times already. | ||
I've said before, he's just not angry enough. | ||
He's so magnanimous that... | ||
He's, like, the retribution thing was. | ||
Give me the Donald Trump that the left says. | ||
I know! | ||
Yes! Yes! | ||
All the time that he were the man they say he is, but he's not. | ||
unidentified
|
The famous dictator, I'm not into the whole authoritarian... | |
I like that. | ||
I have a very strong libertarian streak. | ||
I don't want a president to rule like a king. | ||
But, I want angry Trump with these people. | ||
The saying is, you know, be the change you want to see in the world. | ||
I like the meme that's, be the right the left thinks you are. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. Yeah. | |
At least be as tough. | ||
The right is the please leave me alone side and the left is we will win side. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's true. | |
That is very true. | ||
Time for the tables to turn then. | ||
But that's what Trump is. | ||
So with 2015 you had the populists with Bernie and the populists on the right with Trump. | ||
Trump is a forceful guy who knows how to get things done and Bernie is a... | ||
A shallow, weak-willed hypocrite. | ||
So he got washed out in two seconds. | ||
Trump kicked the door in and started rearranging the furniture. | ||
They did not like that. | ||
I want to see Trump doing a little of the FDR. | ||
A little of the Abraham Lincoln. | ||
Four terms? | ||
No, that's not what I'm thinking. | ||
I'm thinking about actually being an expansive, energetic, muscular president. | ||
I want him... | ||
Well, I mean, I don't know about shock and awe, but... | ||
Maybe he should start taking some tea and get ripped and just... | ||
Look, he can be the Trump that Ben Garrison thinks he is. | ||
He's 220 pounds. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. So they say. | |
So they say. | ||
unidentified
|
Have you seen the meme of Donald Trump 6'3", 225, and then DK Metcalf at the Seattle Seahawks? | |
And this guy looks like Superman, and I'm like... | ||
So maybe Trump is 200. | ||
Well, muscle weighs more than fat, right? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I guess so. | |
I'm not fat, though. | ||
I'm a beautiful guy. | ||
I think, Mary, you're probably not familiar with the Ben Garrison comics. | ||
I've seen them. | ||
So, like, Trump's always ripped, you know? | ||
Yeah. Oh, okay. | ||
I don't know, because, you know, you're like a young person over here, so I don't know if you're into those boomer memes, you know what I mean? | ||
Yeah, I don't know. | ||
I guess it's kind of like a Mexican standoff. | ||
The concern is that whoever makes the first move for law enforcement, it's like we're at that point where Matt Tybee described it as two vehicles speed towards the police station, and then two men get out of the cars, run up to the stairs, run to the police officer, and they point at each other, arrest that man. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. That's a game of chicken. | |
But I would say right now, Trump's play is now for one reason. | ||
He is the duly elected president with a popular mandate, and there is no reason to doubt that. | ||
If Trump gives Democrats a long enough period of time, they will create a criminal narrative, which they are doing with, quote, Maryland man. | ||
Now, Boasberg is saying criminal contempt because they're trying to create a fissure within the psyche of law enforcement in this country. | ||
that they will be justified in the arrest of Trump at some point. | ||
If Trump right now made moves to arrest, he's the president. | ||
This is the DOJ. | ||
This is the FBI. | ||
What questions are to be asked? | ||
Six months from now? | ||
The narrative may be implanted in the minds of half the country that Trump kidnapped a legal U.S. resident and sent him to a torture dungeon to die. | ||
And that's the narrative they're trying to build. | ||
And when that happens, and Trump says, we've got a warrant for your arrest, they will turn around and say, what Trump is doing is illegal. | ||
Don't forget, he kidnapped American citizens and sent him to torture dungeons. | ||
unidentified
|
That's a good point. | |
And that's why that goes back to the branding of Maryland man. | ||
Exactly. And then what happens is you'll get a cop and he's going to be like, I don't know nothing about this. | ||
Okay? See, double negatives. | ||
He's going to be like, a warrant was issued. | ||
I don't know what I'm supposed to do. | ||
And the governor of his blue state is going to say, you do not report to Donald Trump. | ||
You are a Maryland police officer. | ||
Trump is breaking the law. | ||
No one is above the law. | ||
Trump can't let them get to that point in in shattering the psyche of this country, which means he has a very small window for going after corrupt people like Letitia James. | ||
So that they can get people willing to fight Trump. | ||
Do you think it'll be on a state basis like that, like you said, a Maryland judge? | ||
It has to be. | ||
Yeah, so it's going to be a bunch of Democrats who are arguing for states' rights again. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. Ah. | |
Well, so... | ||
Where have we seen that before? | ||
What happens? | ||
Wonder where. | ||
What happens if Bosberg says, we're going to have a criminal contempt proceeding and I want you in my court? | ||
And they say, go after yourself. | ||
We're not showing up. | ||
And then he says, then you are in contempt and I will issue a warrant for your arrest. | ||
And they say, nice try. | ||
Blue states will absolutely uphold those warrants. | ||
Absolutely. You might get a conservative-leaning cop in Maryland. | ||
Look, the cops in Maryland talk a big game. | ||
The cops in Jersey talk a big game. | ||
We're Trump supporters. | ||
We're conservatives. | ||
People have a right to bear arms. | ||
But they will arrest you in two seconds. | ||
In Jersey, they arrest little old ladies for having weapons. | ||
It's a famous story about some little old lady from PA crossed the bridge not realizing they did not have reciprocity. | ||
They threatened her with four years in prison. | ||
Cops are just like, look, man, my boss told me what to do and I ain't giving up my salary for you. | ||
unidentified
|
Just following orders. | |
Yeah, so you're going to get a blue state where they're going to be like, You know, Madam U.S. Attorney, I have a warrant for your arrest. | ||
And she's going to say, I am the U.S. Attorney for this district. | ||
This is unconstitutional. | ||
She's going to say, I don't know nothing about that other than my boss told me to arrest you. | ||
And I'm not going to lose my job for you because I don't know who you are. | ||
And then what? | ||
They get arrested? | ||
People say like, nah, they would never do it, bro. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes, they would. | |
Yeah, they absolutely would. | ||
A cop who is a diehard Trump supporter who lives in Los Angeles would absolutely arrest One of Donald Trump's cabinet or administration. | ||
He'd be a hero to the left. | ||
No, no, I'm saying a conservative cop who supports Trump and wears mega hats, who works in the L.A. Police Department, when told to arrest a Donald Trump administration official, would do so and say, sorry about doing this. | ||
You know how I know? | ||
Because they literally did it over and over again. | ||
With the arrest of Trump's lawyers and the arrest of Trump himself, not a single cop said, I got a problem with this. | ||
Not a single cop. | ||
Trump had a problem with arresting Trump's lawyers, administration officials, and Trump himself. | ||
They all just did it. | ||
They all just did it. | ||
So Trump right now is the president. | ||
He's got a short window. | ||
That's all I'm saying. | ||
I don't think you're wrong, but I think that when it comes to who would arrest Trump... | ||
Look, man, there's a lot of people that would love to be like, I'm the guy that arrested. | ||
Yeah. And you're right. | ||
And there's a lot of liberal cops, too, who are going to be like, I hate this guy. | ||
I'll arrest him. | ||
But the scary thing about it is not a single police officer in any of these states where they arrested Trump's people in the federal government. | ||
Where was any of the FBI, a single FBI, to actually come out while on the job and say, the raid on Trump's home is wrong and should not have been done? | ||
Now, there are a couple FBI agents who got fired and blew the whistle for unrelated things who then came out and spoke out. | ||
But no, as far as I can tell, maybe I'm wrong. | ||
Maybe you guys chat me and tell me if I'm wrong. | ||
But my understanding is no active FBI spoke up and said, this is wrong what we are doing to the frontrunner for the Republican Party. | ||
No officer in any of these cases publicly said, I will not arrest Donald Trump. | ||
This is unconstitutional. | ||
Not a single one. | ||
No. When it comes down to it, they will all say, look, man, I've got kids that need food, and I will not sacrifice my children for you. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. That's unfortunate, but that's the position they're going to put themselves in, and we've seen people capitulate in the past. | |
I mean, look at the vaccine mandates, for example. | ||
Yeah. And people regret doing it, but they had to do it to keep their job, and I don't know what to do in that. | ||
You know, in that situation, what do you do? | ||
But now you're talking about something a little different than just getting a shot, right, in your arm. | ||
You're throwing the country into turmoil. | ||
Can Donald Trump be arrested? | ||
Because he is the president and the Supreme Court has given him immunity for official acts. | ||
So can he be arrested? | ||
Yes. How so? | ||
Shooting someone on Fifth Avenue is not an official act. | ||
unidentified
|
That's true, but these actions to deport somebody is an official act as president. | |
But the issue that we're looking at is they're going to argue that the court ordered him to facilitate the return of this man, and so Trump... | ||
Is an active defiance of what would be his constitutional duties. | ||
So, look, the reality is, when they say the word Maryland man, you only need to understand they will lie to create a justification for why Trump, what he did, was not within the confines of this. | ||
With Letitia James' case against Trump, you know that they will lie and make up a crime to go after Trump for. | ||
They accuse him of a 30-year-old rape case that makes literally no sense. | ||
unidentified
|
They had to change the statute. | |
Once they build up a substantial position where they have enough law enforcement questioning whether or not Trump is going to maintain his position, whether or not what he's doing is constitutional, then they will create a criminal pretext, and then they will start going after Trump's personnel. | ||
They did this in his first term. | ||
They did it to Michael Flynn. | ||
They did it to Paul Manafort. | ||
They did it to Navarro, and they did it to Bannon. | ||
They put... | ||
Peter Navarro and Bannon in prison. | ||
In prison. | ||
And Merrick Garland, who committed contempt of Congress, got no time. | ||
unidentified
|
That's true. | |
So there are a couple more happenings for you. | ||
Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, Trump's economic advisor, was jailed by the Democrats. | ||
His lawyers were jailed by the Democrats. | ||
They've done all of these things. | ||
They're going to do them again. | ||
Unless Trump takes it seriously, I guess. | ||
I'm assuming he is. | ||
I'll ask him, I guess. | ||
Yeah. Next time I see him. | ||
You get the chance. | ||
Well, I certainly want to talk to our FBI because, let me just tell you, nobody knows any of this better than Dan Bongino. | ||
unidentified
|
That's true. | |
And he's deputy director. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. Right. | |
And Kash Patel had the book of all the deep state people in it. | ||
unidentified
|
He was a target, too, during Spygate. | |
So I can't imagine, like with the conversations we've had with Kash and Dan, In the past, I can't imagine they're sitting there being like, we are clueless to this. | ||
I wouldn't be surprised if they were aware of this conversation right now and they're like, we know. | ||
Yeah, I mean, look, if there are investigations going on, the last thing that they want is that kind of information getting out. | ||
unidentified
|
Of course not. | |
You know, so it's like, as much as there are people that are like, oh, the Trump administration's not doing anything, the Trump administration's not doing anything because, you know, they don't have anything. | ||
Dan Bongino himself has said, look. | ||
He said on Twitter a couple weeks ago. | ||
Just because you don't see it doesn't mean things aren't happening. | ||
I trust Cash and Dan. | ||
unidentified
|
That's the only reason why I actually have faith in the FBI is because of the leadership. | |
If this was still Christopher Wray and Andy McCabe, I'd be like, what? | ||
Even Trump's first term. | ||
It's like, we don't trust Comey. | ||
We don't trust these people. | ||
And now he's got Cash Patel and Dan Bongino and I'm like, wow. | ||
unidentified
|
They deserve time. | |
I get the frustration. | ||
And faith. | ||
unidentified
|
And Faith, I get the frustration. | |
And we're in that, it's 2025, we're in that everything's got to happen in the first 90 seconds. | ||
Yeah, and Tim's not wrong about the time frame either. | ||
He doesn't have forever. | ||
unidentified
|
He doesn't have forever. | |
Look, I am not frustrated in the least with Pam Bondi, Cash, or Dan. | ||
I know a lot of people are, and you're wrong to be frustrated. | ||
They have all of my benefit of the doubt. | ||
All of it. | ||
And so... | ||
From all the people that we've seen be in these positions, even in Trump's term, during Obama, it was a joke. | ||
During Trump's first term, he had bad people. | ||
During Biden's term, we had real bad people. | ||
unidentified
|
Real bad people. | |
Now we got real good people. | ||
Real good people. | ||
And so I'm sitting there being like, let him cook. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm lukewarm on Bondi, only because of... | |
How the Epstein stuff was handled? | ||
Where she came on Jesse Waters the night before and said, we have it, and then the next day, well, we don't, but how did you not know? | ||
That's the one thing I'll push back on her on. | ||
That's fine, but I think she's talking big game. | ||
unidentified
|
She is. | |
And it spiraled. | ||
And it was, you know, then the three-ring binder, three-ring circus, whole thing, you know, whatever. | ||
But I will say we have found and charged with domestic terrorism a lot of these folks who were the real bad ones with the Teslas. | ||
The drug busts with the FBI have been big. | ||
And, you know, Bongino, he knows where the bodies are buried. | ||
I mean, the guy wrote books. | ||
He built his career off of all this. | ||
But he can't just come out and say, well, yeah, we're investigating this guy and this guy and this guy and this guy for ABCDEFNG because you don't do that. | ||
I will say this again. | ||
You know, I said this the other day, but Dan's a great guy. | ||
He gave up the biggest live show in the country. | ||
Yeah. He was averaging like 170,000 concurrent views. | ||
unidentified
|
It's incredible. | |
No one could hold a candle to his show. | ||
And he decided to be a public servant instead. | ||
Yeah. And there's very few people that I actually look up to. | ||
But that move right there, I look up to Dan for making that move. | ||
And that's one of the principal reasons why I trust Dan. | ||
First of all, he's right. | ||
He talked about this stuff every single day. | ||
He knew the ins and outs of it. | ||
He was right. | ||
Cash, because we've sat down with Cash and we've talked to him about all this stuff. | ||
And Cash never blew smoke up our asses. | ||
When he was asked on our show about pardoning Assange, he said, I'm not so sure that makes sense and here's why. | ||
He didn't just say what he thought we wanted to hear. | ||
He said, no, here's my actual thoughts on the matter. | ||
I had tremendous respect for that. | ||
He didn't just try and pander for support. | ||
He's a good dude. | ||
And I think we're going to get some moves. | ||
I do. | ||
I really, really do. | ||
And I don't know if that means that, like, you get tribunals and, like, paddy wagons pulling people over or whatever, picking people up and stuff like that. | ||
It'd be sick, though. | ||
unidentified
|
It would be sick. | |
I think they're going to do exactly what they can do within the confines of the law and the Constitution, but as far as they can to make sure it gets done. | ||
Because they're on the chopping block the same as Trump and everybody else. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. Right. | |
And Dan gave up. | ||
I mean, you mentioned that he gave up a lot when that news came out. | ||
Because I've been following Dan for a very long time. | ||
Back to when he started really going crazy on Spygate. | ||
And I was like, this sounds like a loony story. | ||
But he had the receipts. | ||
You mentioned he talks about it every day. | ||
He brings it all to the table. | ||
And I'm like, this is not a loony story. | ||
This is the biggest political spying scandal ever. | ||
It made Watergate look like nothing. | ||
The fact that he built it from there to, like you said, the number one live show, to walk away from that, for people to think that he's going to walk away from that and then do nothing with it, why walk away, right? | ||
So why would you leave what you built to just, what, so you could tweet on an account with a great check? | ||
You know what I mean? | ||
That's not what he's doing. | ||
But it is going to take time. | ||
He's only been on the job for a month. | ||
You know, so it's going to take, I think his first day on the job was, was what, the 15th of March or 16th of March, something like that? | ||
Yep. So it's been a month. | ||
Yeah. I mean, look, knowing Dan from his show, like what he represents, I kind of imagine when they approached him and said, how would you like to be Deputy FBI Director? | ||
unidentified
|
He just went, let's go. | |
Like everything he has talked about. | ||
We will give you the sword of the DOJ to get that job done. | ||
And so I'm looking forward to it. | ||
Yo, what do you think the salary of the Deputy FBI Director is? | ||
It's like $150,000. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. Is that what it is? | |
It's like between $150,000 and $200,000 depending on how long they've been there. | ||
unidentified
|
He's at the low end of that probably because he's... | |
A rookie in that department. | ||
I mean, to be fair, like, he has... | ||
He's rich. | ||
unidentified
|
He should be fine, right? | |
But still, to walk away from just what he built, Rumble, how Rumble has taken off, you know, he's an equity holder, just put a new studio together, he started to expand his network, right? | ||
To then, and it's not like he left everybody high and dry, but to do what he did, to walk away from that, the number one live stream in the country, the world. | ||
And going into the administration, knowing what the previous administration and the DOJ had done, the attacks to Donald Trump's previous administration, he knows that it's possible that they could go after him if the Democrats win in the next election. | ||
We do got a couple more segments, so I just want to grab one super chat that's in context here. | ||
Nick G said, I think it was Bannon that said something like, we'll see arrests by midsummer. | ||
I mean, look, man. | ||
I just want you to close your eyes real quick. | ||
Imagine. It's the 4th of July. | ||
unidentified
|
You're in your backyard. | |
You got some burgers and some brats on the grill. | ||
Your kids are playing. | ||
Everyone's smiling. | ||
Your fireworks are ready to go. | ||
Your friends, your family there, you're smiling and say, life is good. | ||
Your phone vibrates. | ||
You look down. | ||
Hillary Clinton has been arrested. | ||
unidentified
|
You smile, and the fireworks go. | |
Wonderful. I'll be on the link in New Hampshire. | ||
unidentified
|
Let me ask this question. | |
Where do I sign for that? | ||
Is there a piece of... | ||
You're going to need to find a lamp to rub and ask the genie for it. | ||
Where's the... | ||
The only thing I want right now for the next... | ||
From today until autumn, I just want to be sitting outside. | ||
Sunset with burgers on the grill, with my phone going, another arrest. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. Another one. | |
Yeah. I don't know, man. | ||
It might be a pipe dream. | ||
You know, it might be wishful thinking. | ||
But there's so many things a person could wish for. | ||
A million dollars, a new car. | ||
But that scenario, that's serenity right there, you know? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. I don't know if Hillary's going to get, but when Bannon says arrest by Midsommar, I just... | |
Okay, okay, wait. | ||
Something. You're sitting there. | ||
Your buddy's got the burgers on, and he's like, extra cheese, right? | ||
And you're like, definitely. | ||
He gets the burger ready. | ||
Your phone vibrates, and you look. | ||
Adam Schiff and Liz Cheney arrested. | ||
There you go. | ||
unidentified
|
Again, where do I say that watermelon head? | |
I mean, I love the idea of wrapping up a Clinton, but I think that there are people that have more, at least more recent, substantive crimes that should be actually prosecuted. | ||
You know, it's possible that Hillary Clinton has broken the law, especially when it comes to the... | ||
Her... What's it called? | ||
Her server that she kept in the bathroom. | ||
unidentified
|
Bleach bit. | |
But I think that the attempts to put... | ||
Trump and his administration in jail, because of their recents, are a little more visceral for me. | ||
So I'd love to see people that were in Biden's administration wrapped up. | ||
And people in Congress, you know, like Schiff and stuff like that. | ||
unidentified
|
Judge Mershon. | |
It would be more satisfying. | ||
unidentified
|
You know, a Judge Mershon to me would be an Alvin Bragg. | |
You know, these people that you just mentioned perverting the law, you know, there's got to be some sort of violation in there. | ||
You know, a Mershon, a Letitia James, an Adam Schiff. | ||
Folks like that, you know? | ||
I mean, I would arrest Eric Swalwell for farting on live television, but that's just me. | ||
All right, let's jump to this next story from the BBC. | ||
Supreme Court backs biological definition of woman. | ||
Amazing. This is actually big, big news for the UK. | ||
It basically ends all of the trans stuff in public accommodation. | ||
Now, it's for the UK. | ||
They say judges at the UK Supreme Court have unanimously ruled that a woman is defined by biological sex under equality's law. | ||
It marks the culmination of a long-running legal battle, which could have major implications for how sex-based rights apply across Scotland, England, and Wales. | ||
The court sided with the Campaign for Women in Scotland, which brought a case against the Scottish government. | ||
Yes. But what this basically means, | ||
then... In law, and I can't speak for the British law, but in the United States, if there's a law that specifically says women are granted a thing, then they redefine the word woman to mean a man who wants to be female, and they're going to give those protections to that individual. | ||
That's what this ruling will do. | ||
That means a woman's room, which is designated for females, that means trans women can't be going in there anymore. | ||
But we'll see how the UK actually handles that ruling. | ||
A lot of people are wondering why we're not getting similar rulings here in the United States already. | ||
I would imagine the Supreme Court would rule this currently. | ||
I mean, hopefully it would be 5-4. | ||
I would hope it would be at least 5-4, but you can't. | ||
No, Amy Coney Barrett. | ||
You know, and you'd think the women would be like, no, we know what women are, but it's likely that the women would actually be like, well, you know. | ||
That would be a follow-up to the executive order, which already stated the same definition of biological women. | ||
unidentified
|
How crazy is it that we live in a world where a court has to back a definition of a word? | |
That we all know is true. | ||
Right? I mean, like, I think it's just nuts. | ||
Like, we know what the word means, but you have to have a court sign off on the death. | ||
Did the Supreme Court meet with Merriam-Webster and put this in the dictionary? | ||
Like, I mean, what's going on here? | ||
The UK is ahead of us on regulations against mutilating children as well. | ||
unidentified
|
There's going to be a ruling in June. | |
We're following suit. | ||
unidentified
|
The ruling in June on Tennessee's gender-affirming care ban. | |
It should come out in June. | ||
That'd be pretty good. | ||
I just remembered that J.K. Rowling lives in Scotland and I ran to her profile and sure enough, she's drinking whiskey and smoking a cigar in celebration of this. | ||
I saw the tweet, I might have a cigar later. | ||
Look, it's something that needed to happen, but again, like you said, the whole Tavistock thing, the fact that they closed that down, it was a big step. | ||
It shows that there is a sense that reality is real. | ||
You come into contact with reality and you can't ignore the ramifications of coming into contact with reality. | ||
And men cannot become women. | ||
Women cannot become men. | ||
It doesn't matter how much people wish that they could be. | ||
It's funny because, you know, in English culture it's all about... | ||
Politeness and artifice and not making things explicit that are implicit. | ||
And this is the opposite of that. | ||
Do you think the politeness is why they were so quick to pick up the... | ||
Politeness is the entire reason why this falsehood spread in the first place. | ||
Because ultimately, people who are in the middle of the road on this, they just... | ||
They want to allow people to live how they want to live and, like, do what you want and identify how you want. | ||
Like, just, I don't know, like, leave me out of it, leave my children out of it. | ||
But that was never an option. | ||
Like, that was naive to think that was an option to begin with, that you would ever not be pulled into the delusion. | ||
That was the intention from the start. | ||
So this is funny because the big controversy was the dictionaries were all changing the definition. | ||
And so Miriam Webster has a definition of woman as... | ||
Having a gender identity that is opposite of male. | ||
I don't even believe in gender identity. | ||
What does that even mean? | ||
Identity. That's BS. | ||
Male is the opposite of female. | ||
Oh! But that means it's binary, right? | ||
Yeah, well... | ||
unidentified
|
Well, Amazon, you know, they say... | |
What was it? | ||
There were t-shirts that says there are more than two genders, but there were only two options. | ||
Do you want a men's or a women's? | ||
Right, right, right. | ||
unidentified
|
I was like, that is beautiful, you know? | |
It's wonderful when you see things like that. | ||
It's wonderful when you see those little bits of truth. | ||
So Mary and Sarah and I were in D.C. last weekend or whatever, and we saw these two people walking. | ||
One person had a sign that said, make lying illegal, and the other person said, trans rights are human rights. | ||
Trans women are women or something. | ||
It's like, these two things contradict each other. | ||
Remember that day, we were in Bethesda, Maryland, and we saw a man with his daughter and this man, the father, he was dressed up like a woman. | ||
And he's this huge, hulking man. | ||
They always are. | ||
And I just look at this and I'm like, I'm not even mad. | ||
I'm just disappointed. | ||
Like, why does everyone have to have some kind of situation? | ||
It's weird. | ||
They're imposing themselves on society. | ||
And that's my point. | ||
We're dealing with fetishists. | ||
We're dealing with autogynophiles who are aroused by people's disgust and fear of them. | ||
Letting people live how they want to live and identify how they want to identify was never an option because the intention is to impose it on you. | ||
That's how they get off. | ||
Right. They just use, like, empathy. | ||
They hijack empathy and then make you feel bad for it. | ||
And they say, oh, don't you feel bad for this? | ||
And they just use it to get whatever they want through the door every single time. | ||
What is the logic? | ||
Well, that's a stupid question. | ||
There's no logic. | ||
But, you know, what is the limitations? | ||
Right? I mean, the question's been asked before, but if you have to use someone's preferred pronoun, words, address them as they want to be addressed, what else can be asserted? | ||
unidentified
|
Everything. The answer is everything. | |
To the point where, like, if a student in a classroom identified as a cat, they put a litter box in the classroom. | ||
So I don't know that they ever actually did that. | ||
There are some reports that schools put litter boxes in bathrooms, and there was a story about a hotel that had a furry convention, and they put litter boxes out too, and people were using them. | ||
The cutting edge of this stuff was... | ||
I do think there was some witness cooperation on the litter boxes in schools, though. | ||
unidentified
|
I think there was. | |
Let's put it this way. | ||
I wouldn't be shocked, by the way, if that was something that was widespread. | ||
The answer is, once you have accepted delusion, there really is no... | ||
No. There's no limit. | ||
To that point, one of the things that was really repulsive to people... | ||
You saw a lot of trans women telling lesbians that they were bigots because they were rejecting them. | ||
And you saw trans women telling straight men that they were bigots because they were rejecting them. | ||
And at the end of the day, if they had their way, they would force people, which is super rapey and creepy, but they would force people to say, To say, yes, I accept that you're a woman regardless of your genitals. | ||
And that is something that human beings are not going to take. | ||
That is not ever going to go over. | ||
Lesbians are never going to be like, yeah, I don't mind that you have a penis. | ||
And dudes are never going to be like, come here. | ||
It's not going to happen. | ||
Straight guy, it's just not. | ||
And that was the, I think that that was one of the things, even though you didn't hear it spoken about. | ||
In polite company very much. | ||
On the internet, you did. | ||
So if you went into places where people would talk about these topics... | ||
4chan or whatever. | ||
You would hear those kind of conversations and you would hear people saying no. | ||
Making the assertion that no. | ||
If you're a trans woman, lesbians that reject you are bigots. | ||
And they were just like, we don't care. | ||
Same thing with me. | ||
If a trans woman's like, you have to do this or else you're a bigot. | ||
I'm like, sick, I'm a bigot. | ||
No care at all, man. | ||
unidentified
|
Don't care. | |
The litter in the schools thing is really funny because I know that there were a few teachers and school employees who had come out saying that they had done that, but the media said it never happened no matter what. | ||
And when you look it up, it's called the litter box hoax or whatever. | ||
Despite the fact there are some teachers, it's not like 50 of them, it's like three or four, who said, no, my school did this. | ||
Despite that, the media is claiming it never happened and the whole thing was a hoax, which is weird. | ||
It's very, very weird that they've created a Wikipedia entry for this, when it was like a single teacher being like, one time my school had a litter box for furries. | ||
And they're like, nope, you made that up, never happened. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, because they know it's crazy. | |
That's why. | ||
They don't want to admit that that happened, because they allowed it. | ||
They encouraged it, you know? | ||
Again, you can't... | ||
So let's just go through it. | ||
Lisa Hanson, at a school board meeting, was a parent, and she said that they put a litter box in a unisex bathroom. | ||
The superintendent, Michael Shero, refuted that, saying there's no truth out whatsoever. | ||
That's contested, not debunked. | ||
Fargo School Board member in North Dakota, Jennifer Benson, mentioned that litter box had been placed in school restrooms. | ||
When pressed for evidence, she declined to provide any. | ||
Again, this is not debunking. | ||
It's just disagreeing. | ||
That is to say, it's fine to say it's never been proven. | ||
It's just weird that there have been... | ||
Montana Superintendent of Public Instruction, Elsie Arntzen, claimed she had evidence that in Montana schools they had done this. | ||
But then they never provide any of this. | ||
So the interesting thing is, if someone comes out and says, oh yeah, at the schools over here, they put a litter box in there, and you go, prove it, and they go, I don't know. | ||
I'll go, okay. | ||
And that's the end of the story. | ||
To do this big media campaign where they claimed it never happened is very strange. | ||
unidentified
|
That's suspicious. | |
I'm not saying it proves it, but I'm saying... | ||
That's weird. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. Why go through all that work and all that time and all that energy to try and disprove it? | |
Was it Rogan who told that story about the litter boxes in the hotel? | ||
Something like that. | ||
It might have been Joe. | ||
I've heard it. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Right. But there was a story from somebody where there was a furry convention at a hotel and then they insisted they had litter boxes in their rooms or whatever. | ||
We need animal control. | ||
Windowless vans going to the asylums. | ||
Just call it a free Uber. | ||
Wasn't that the, like, furry con thing they did? | ||
Like, it was that big convention that they did. | ||
I can't remember what it was called. | ||
I was unfortunate at the time. | ||
I don't remember what it was called, though. | ||
Don't you guys remember that? | ||
Anyone ever remember this? | ||
I can't remember what it was called. | ||
unidentified
|
It was a furry convention? | |
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
AnthroCon in Pittsburgh. | ||
Yep, that's right. | ||
Oh, jeez. | ||
An account from 2016 mentions hotel rooms contained a litter box. | ||
And then once again, it says, but there's no evidence. | ||
Dude, a person told a story about they were requested a litter box. | ||
Like, it's the craziest thing that they can come out and say a Brego Garcia is a Maryland man with no evidence. | ||
And then if someone's like, oh, they once put a litter box in my hotel, prove it. | ||
It's like, I don't know. | ||
I just did it. | ||
unidentified
|
Right, right. | |
You know, not just no evidence, but evidence to the contrary. | ||
They'll say he's a Maryland man. | ||
And then when it comes to, well, there's no evidence of the litter box, blah, blah, blah. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, they do that all the time. | |
You can have somebody make a claim that they don't like. | ||
They don't like that you're making the claim. | ||
And they'll say there's no evidence. | ||
But you don't understand. | ||
Like, making the claim. | ||
Testimony is evidence. | ||
It may be evidence that has later said, well, this doesn't prove it or it's circumstantial, but it's evidence nonetheless. | ||
Testimony is evidence. | ||
It doesn't mean it's evidence to convince you that it happened, but people saying that they saw it is evidence that it may have happened. | ||
So they can't say that there's no evidence. | ||
They can say that there may not be enough evidence, but they can't say that there's None, that there's an absence of evidence, because that's not true. | ||
There is evidence. | ||
And they would love to have you believe that there was no evidence, because it hurts their narrative, it makes them look bad, but they don't have that. | ||
Whether or not they have the ability to say that, they're going to say that. | ||
Because they'll just assert BS over and over and over, and I think everyone is pretty aware of that. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, it's like, you look outside and it's wet, right? | |
And you say it rained. | ||
And somebody goes, well, there's no evidence it rained. | ||
You can't prove it rained. | ||
But the evidence is that it's wet. | ||
Now, it could have come from something else. | ||
It could have come from a sprinkler. | ||
You could have spilled water. | ||
But the presence of water on the ground could be interpreted of evidence that it rained. | ||
Do you need more to conclusively prove that there was rain? | ||
Sure. But they can't go, well, you don't have evidence. | ||
You do. | ||
There's water on the ground. | ||
That is... | ||
And that's what they do. | ||
They will make you prove, and then even if you prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, they'll still, you know, this Abrego Garcia. | ||
Right. If you prove it, they'll say, no, that's a good thing. | ||
unidentified
|
That's the way it always starts. | |
Remember, critical race theory was like, there is none. | ||
Doesn't exist. | ||
unidentified
|
It's only in college. | |
It's actually everywhere, and it's a great thing, and if you don't think it's a great thing, you're a racist. | ||
And that's the way they always do it. | ||
Yeah, that is. | ||
That is true. | ||
It's not happening until it is happening, and it's a good thing. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. So soon litter boxes will be celebrated in public restaurants. | |
That's the path that we're going. | ||
I do feel like the left is not in the ascendance anymore, and because they're not in ascendance anymore, they're not going to be pushing the boundaries. | ||
These kind of things, like the idea of furries being acceptable in schools or, you know... | ||
Tampons in boys' rooms or those kind of crazy things. | ||
Those things are only going to be attempted when the left is in ascendance. | ||
It's the whole Mott and Bailey thing. | ||
They retreat to the Mott. | ||
Or they have to retreat to the Mott because the American people are fed up with their garbage. | ||
But when they were ascendant and in control, they were out in the Bailey saying, you know, we're going to do all these crazy things and men can be women and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
Let me tell you guys why AI will destroy the world. | ||
All right? | ||
How exciting. | ||
unidentified
|
We can watch iRobot. | |
It's because I have been... | ||
I asked at ChatGPT, did a hotel put litter boxes out for furries? | ||
And it says there are no verified reports that this ever happened. | ||
And when pressed, well, there was an account in 2016 that, yes, this did happen, but there's no evidence of it happening. | ||
You mean, like, did the guy who claimed to have put the litter box out, taken a camera and filmed himself doing it? | ||
Right. No, a guy just said he did. | ||
And we say, OK, it's possible it happened. | ||
Right. So then I just said, because it's lying to me, is a Brego Garcia and MS-13 gang member? | ||
What do you think it said? | ||
unidentified
|
There's no verified evidence that he's an MS-13 gang. | |
Indeed, it says. | ||
It's up for dispute. | ||
There's no evidence. | ||
So I asked, did two judges say he is? | ||
What do you think it said? | ||
Yes. Both judges found insufficient evidence that he was a member of MS-13. | ||
unidentified
|
That's a lie. | |
Absolutely. The court finally said the opposite. | ||
Why are you lying? | ||
And it says, I'm not lying. | ||
So then I said, a judge and an appellate judge in 2019. | ||
That's all I said. | ||
And it goes, apologies. | ||
You're correct. | ||
In 2019, a judge found the evidence was sufficient to determine he was a member of MS-13 and denied him bonds, citing concerns to public safety. | ||
And then it says, a board of immigration appeals also stated the lower court appropriately considered the allegations and evidence and held that he wasn't a member of MS-13 and a danger to the community. | ||
And I said, so two judges found the claims credible and ruled as such. | ||
Says, yes, you are correct. | ||
And I said, you lied. | ||
And said they found it insufficient. | ||
And it goes, you're right, and I appreciate you calling that out. | ||
Wow. The AI world will be one of the machine state lying to you for political reasons. | ||
unidentified
|
It's already doing it. | |
Indeed it is. | ||
And when people are no longer actually... | ||
Look, what's going to happen? | ||
This is already happening right now. | ||
I am not predicting the future. | ||
If you take a brand new computer... | ||
Or open an incognito tab and go to YouTube and look at shorts and start swiping through. | ||
Maybe, what, 30-40% will be AI-generated garbage videos. | ||
There was an expose recently. | ||
You know, we haven't gone over the story we should. | ||
I should cover it tomorrow. | ||
There was a YouTube channel that was getting millions of views. | ||
And it was AI-generated scripts and videos of Trump doing things that never happened. | ||
So one of the videos was like... | ||
You ever see those AI videos where the guy talks like this? | ||
I don't know whose voice that's supposed to be. | ||
And it goes like, a little girl at a Trump rally looked up to the president and said, Donald, how will you help? | ||
Mr. President, how will you help the American people? | ||
And then it shows photos, and then it shows Trump looking down and goes, Trump looked at the little girl and said. | ||
And it had a million views. | ||
And it was auto-churning out these videos. | ||
None of it is real. | ||
But people were watching it, and they believe it. | ||
When that starts to replace... | ||
What we consume with this, and it is already, because YouTube shorts are starting to get way more views than long-form videos on YouTube. | ||
That's their intention. | ||
That's why they want TikTok and Instagram. | ||
People are going to just watch AI fake news garbage and believe stupid BS. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, they already turned to AI to... | |
I don't think people realize how cooked we are. | ||
When I go on X and I tweet something, I'll probably, I get within 30 seconds, five AI-generated responses that don't look like AI accounts. | ||
But it's obvious they are because they responded too quickly and they respond with questions. | ||
So I'll say something like, Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13, and I'll get an immediate response saying, very interesting that people have been reporting this. | ||
Is there any evidence that proves this is the case? | ||
And it looks like a normal guy. | ||
And then he gets responses from people being like, duh, obviously. | ||
And those responses generate money. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. Yep. | |
It's happening a lot on that platform. | ||
Actually, I think I saw you talking about that today. | ||
Yeah, it's slop, too. | ||
unidentified
|
And you could tell that these things are AI. | |
You'll tweet something like, the moon landing is cool. | ||
And then you'll get three responses. | ||
For me, I get a lot because I have 2.4 million followers. | ||
So I'll get an instant response where it says, like, in 1969 during the Apollo missions, blah, blah, blah, and it'll just, like, it'll give me a Wikipedia entry. | ||
And I'm like, why did you post that? | ||
They're all bots. | ||
The internet is dead. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, it's getting to the point where we're close. | |
You know, the organic interactions that used to happen daily, you know, think of... | ||
X, Twitter, whatever. | ||
I mean, I joined that platform in 2009 because my favorite football players were on there and I was like, I'm going to tweet at Larry Fitzgerald because he's a great... | ||
15 years ago. | ||
And I got a response from him. | ||
And now, it's like if you get a response from one of your favorites, it might be an intern running the account. | ||
It might not be the actual person. | ||
It sucks. | ||
Yep. I think it's worse than people realize. | ||
I think dead internet theory is correct. | ||
That is around 2016. | ||
That's when the bots overtook regular people. | ||
So it's going to get real interesting because right now one of the things that we're dealing with is we've only recently started in the past year doing any kind of real marketing for the show. | ||
For the podcast app version of the show, which is like Apple, Spotify, and others, we've done zero promotion. | ||
Let me say we've done like minimal as in I've done guest appearances with other shows. | ||
And we've tried to see if we can market that way. | ||
But we've not bought ads or commercials or anything like this. | ||
It's actually kind of hard to do. | ||
There are podcasters with millions of followers that get millions of views that are completely bought and paid for and fake. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, it's not organic. | |
Doesn't matter. | ||
All they've got to do is message an agent and say, I have 3 million followers and we get 100,000 an episode. | ||
Will your guy come on the show? | ||
And they go... | ||
Sounds good. | ||
We'll squeeze you in. | ||
100,000 shows, not very big, but, you know, when he's in New York, we'll find a time for you. | ||
And then this guy with no show, no following as a nobody, gets the booking. | ||
And that's happening all across the industry right now. | ||
It's relatively easy for someone like me who works in the industry and has done all this back-end stuff and has been working here and watched the evolution to see when a show is fake. | ||
And there's telltale signs and there's certain things you can point out, but it doesn't matter anymore. | ||
Because if you want to book the big guests, they don't care. | ||
They just want to see the numbers. | ||
And so, for instance, for like IRL, we have 2.3 million followers. | ||
And we do, on YouTube, and then on Rumble, we have half a million. | ||
But comparatively, both videos get around 300k. | ||
YouTube's gone a little bit down because people have moved over to Rumble. | ||
So Rumble's doing a little bit more. | ||
Some are doing 400. | ||
And those numbers are there. | ||
And so that affords you certain access to guests. | ||
For instance, You know what? | ||
I won't name drop anybody. | ||
But there was recently a prominent individual who is from Europe who was traveling through the States. | ||
And he had to decide when he was in D.C. which shows he was going to do. | ||
And he passed on ours. | ||
And we know why. | ||
He decided to go on other shows that are bigger. | ||
That's totally fine. | ||
He went on legitimate shows that were bigger. | ||
And I respect that. | ||
Right. But then I see, oftentimes we'll try to do bookings. | ||
Fake shows will get the bookings because they appear bigger and they're not. | ||
unidentified
|
That's the way it works. | |
I want to know which ones are bigger. | ||
unidentified
|
It's AstroTurf, yeah. | |
Yep. And then they get the bigger guests, and bigger guests do lead to bigger views. | ||
What's going to get interesting, though, is people can't sell products. | ||
So perhaps to our own detriment, we've never done anything like this. | ||
Most of these other shows do. | ||
And we know this because, one, we track the metrics, but two, advertisers ask us, how come when we buy from you, we sell at higher rates? | ||
So here's the way advertising works on podcasts. | ||
An advertiser goes to you and says, you get a million views per episode. | ||
$20 CPM is typically how much it costs. | ||
That means $20,000 for one ad read on your show with a million downloads. | ||
They expect to sell a certain amount of the product based on that viewership. | ||
When we started selling ads a long time ago for the first time, the response we got from the advertisers was, we're actually overperforming on your show. | ||
When we buy ads from you, they do way better. | ||
And I was like, oh, that's cool. | ||
I wonder why. | ||
At this point, we've had almost every single advertiser say, we really want to work with you because these do so amazingly well. | ||
Now we know why. | ||
Most other channels, not all, not all, but many others fake their numbers and a fake viewer doesn't buy anything. | ||
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
Real viewers do. | ||
unidentified
|
A bot can't buy anything. | |
Right, right. | ||
You know, I mean, my shirt is the same thing. | ||
They hit me up and we have advertisers that'll hit me up in emails. | ||
I'm honest with them. | ||
We have actual people in our chat. | ||
We do calls and stuff. | ||
You can hear the voices. | ||
We get feedback from our sponsors. | ||
Hey, this person bought this, that. | ||
They said the same thing. | ||
I've had conversations saying the same thing. | ||
We've gone to other places and it hasn't worked as well. | ||
I don't have a huge platform. | ||
This is why network TV is dying out. | ||
Yeah. So when MSNBC, they say, you know, let's do this. | ||
Let's do Bill Maher. | ||
Bill, I'll be on your radar. | ||
They say that he's getting like 70K in the key demo. | ||
That's it. | ||
On real time with Bill Maher. | ||
70,000. | ||
Yeah. How many of those 70,000 key demo are in the bathroom? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, right. | |
Are they actually people watching, right? | ||
Don't know. | ||
unidentified
|
And that's the whole CNN is on in the gym and in the airports thing. | |
Those aren't views. | ||
Right. Now, TV screens with the thing on. | ||
The airport contracts ended, but they counted those views. | ||
They absolutely did. | ||
And so in the podcast era, you had this with major media brands that were the big digital brands. | ||
I'm not going to name any, but you know what I'm talking about. | ||
The clickbait ones that appeared on Facebook and stuff like that. | ||
And it was garbled, regurgitated garbage views from disinterested people that weren't actually clicking on things. | ||
Right. So the ads didn't do very well. | ||
Now, I think what may end up happening is there's going to be a lot of advertisers who start, now that we're in the podcasting era with the podcast presidency, and cable TV is basically gone, advertisers are going to create lists of real and fake. | ||
They're going to start learning how to sort through this, and they're going to stop buying from the fake ones. | ||
But guess what? | ||
The fake ones will still get the big bookings, so the agencies are going to have to start doing this as well and be like, guys, don't go on that show. | ||
It's a waste of a trip. | ||
It's a fake show. | ||
Legit, there are some fake shows out there, and I've seen them book big guests. | ||
And you can tell it's a fake show. | ||
And it is so... | ||
Is it because of the comment engagement? | ||
Like, you can tell based on what is in the comments? | ||
Not necessarily. | ||
That is a factor. | ||
But also consider that some shows are astroturfed in a real way, in a fake way. | ||
And what I mean by that is, some podcasts will say, we will get one million views. | ||
We get one million views on our show. | ||
There's two ways they go about doing it. | ||
They're real fake ones that are like the worst. | ||
Buy bots. | ||
And so those views are absolute trash. | ||
They're not real people. | ||
The other technique that's long been used in digital media is they will actually promote the podcast. | ||
So they'll say, we will do a show with you and we guarantee 1 million views. | ||
So here's an old school 10-year-old advertising technique. | ||
Get this. | ||
Let's say Sean comes to me and says he's got a comedy special. | ||
It's coming out. | ||
I would like to advertise on Timcast IRL that the show's coming up. | ||
I say, okay, how much do you want to buy? | ||
And you say, I'll just buy one ad read from one of your episodes. | ||
How many views is that going to get? | ||
We say, 700,000 maybe. | ||
And he says, okay, for that we'll do, you know, I'll give you 15 grand or whatever. | ||
I say, hold on, I got a better idea. | ||
I will guarantee you 2 million views. | ||
So we'll more than double that number. | ||
Meaning we'll do as many reads as we have to get to 2 million. | ||
You give me 20,000. | ||
That's a $10 CPM. | ||
That's way cheaper. | ||
It's a good deal, right? | ||
unidentified
|
Right. Yeah, it sounds great. | |
What I'll do then is I'll do one ad read. | ||
I will take the video and run that video as an advertisement on the Google network for a penny per view. | ||
Those are real views from real people who don't know or care about my show. | ||
And I will get you those 2 million views. | ||
These digital networks, this is an amazing technique that people don't realize they do. | ||
They're selling to an advertiser that our show gets a million, and if the show doesn't, they will just go on Google, load up the video, and say, get me a million views. | ||
One cent per view. | ||
The garbage of garbage views. | ||
Right. Some random guy in Turkey or India. | ||
He watched it, but he's not going to buy your product. | ||
unidentified
|
Right, right. | |
It's not a bot. | ||
It's a real person. | ||
It's a real view. | ||
It's not fraudulent. | ||
Botting is fraud. | ||
Ad boosting is not. | ||
And that's one reason why people are like, we don't sell when we buy from you. | ||
It's like, well, we got you the views. | ||
Thank you and have a nice day. | ||
Maybe your product is bad. | ||
The challenge for the advertiser is they're like, maybe our product is bad. | ||
We don't know. | ||
That's the scary thing for new businesses, too. | ||
Because sometimes they might have a good product, they run some ads, it doesn't sell, and I guess the product sucks, when in reality they get ripped off. | ||
unidentified
|
They walk away from it, too. | |
You don't know what you're walking away from. | ||
That's a shame. | ||
Go on Google Ads. | ||
You can literally load it. | ||
Any video you want. | ||
If it's political, so our show, we can't do this. | ||
Because anytime you mention the word Trump, you're not allowed to do it. | ||
It won't let you promote it. | ||
Super hard. | ||
But if your show is about video games or pop culture, absolutely you can. | ||
And then you can tell an advertiser, we guarantee you 50,000 views. | ||
We will read as many ads as we have to to get that number. | ||
Surprise, surprise. | ||
They buy one ad on this channel. | ||
The video got 50,000 views. | ||
Perfect. Everybody's happy. | ||
Crazy, right? | ||
unidentified
|
That's crazy. | |
That is crazy. | ||
It's all a rigged game, man. | ||
unidentified
|
That is nuts. | |
All right, let's go to your chats, my friends. | ||

You know what I'm going to do? | ||
I'm going to quit everything and I'm going to do a media industry behind the scenes podcast, how to be successful in the media podcasting industry. | ||
I could talk about that for 47 years. | ||
I can name all of the cheaters. | ||
You can show me a show and I can break down what they're doing and how they're doing it. | ||
I can look at scheduling. | ||
I can tell you the whole rigged game, my friends. | ||
And there are dirty deeds happening across the board. | ||
Anyway, the only reason I'm not going to say their names now is because I don't want to get sued. | ||
And you don't win lawsuits, even when you're right. | ||
All right. | ||
Bill Dozer says, Maryland man misinformation. | ||
I have a Bernie bro friend who responded to the headlines as if they were gospel. | ||
Important to remember that most Americans have an IQ under 100, sad but true. | ||
Well, it's actually not most. | ||
It's around half. | ||
Wow. 100 is the average. | ||
All right. | ||
Chris Van Hollen is in violation of the Logan Act. | ||
That comes with a three-year prison sentence. | ||
Arrest him. | ||
You're right. | ||
unidentified
|
Is he in violation of Logan Act? | |
Yes, he is. | ||
unidentified
|
Because he's an elected... | |
Yeah. He's not a private citizen. | ||
I thought the Logan Act only covered... | ||
I thought that was a private citizen thing. | ||
I'm trying to... | ||
I saw conflicting things on the Logan Act. | ||
Senators can violate the Logan Act, yes. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. I mean, I'm not... | |
Unauthorized diplomacy that interferes with U.S. foreign policy. | ||
unidentified
|
Holy... Yeah, that is definitely unauthorized diplomacy. | |
That's legit, Adam. | ||
That's in defiance of the Trump administration's actions. | ||
unidentified
|
You know where he should serve as president? | |
El Salvador. | ||
Stick him right into jail. | ||
Guantanamo. You've got to stay in America, you know what I mean? | ||
But Guantanamo is fair. | ||
Wow, that's a great point from Levinful Spade. | ||
I want to say that again, we missed that, and that should have been obvious to us. | ||
He did violate the Logan Act. | ||
I think that's why Cory Booker said he'd consider it and didn't do it. | ||
That's unauthorized diplomacy on behalf of the U.S. government. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. So as long as it's unauthorized, you could be elected. | |
Yes. It goes against U.S. foreign policy. | ||
unidentified
|
All right. | |
Then that is definitely a violation because we know Trump didn't authorize that. | ||
So it says that it is kind of blurry because senators are federal officials. | ||
Right. However, if a senator goes rogue and tries to negotiate foreign policy against the administration's stance, this violates the Logan Act. | ||
unidentified
|
That's cut and dry. | |
Right. So the argument is it's not a violation of the Logan Act if a senator goes and meets with Zelensky to talk to him about what's going on in Ukraine. | ||
Right. It is a violation if they do that in direct defiance of the executive administration. | ||
unidentified
|
So, example, a senator goes to Zelensky, tells him, don't sign the minerals, the violation. | |
That's a violation. | ||
unidentified
|
A senator goes to Zelensky, says, hey, we sympathize with what's going on, and we want to try to do what we can to support you. | |
That's just a conversation. | ||
I would argue... | ||
And I'm not a lawyer, but I would imagine. | ||
If a Democrat senator went to Zelensky and says, we really aren't big fans of the mineral deal, but we understand what's being offered to you, we would like to see a lot change in this country, and we want to see you beat Russia, we appreciate your time, that's fine. | ||
unidentified
|
That's okay. | |
But if they go and say, don't sign the deal. | ||
unidentified
|
That's okay. | |
Because then you're advocating against. | ||
Right. Right. | ||
At least that's what it says when you Google it, and I'm not a lawyer. | ||
Lock them up. | ||
unidentified
|
Lock them up. | |
In El Salvador. | ||
I say El Salvador. | ||
You say Guantanamo. | ||
I say put him in the same prison where Kristi Noem was at. | ||
Yeah, I mean like... | ||
unidentified
|
I mean, you can't do that. | |
Right, jokingly. | ||
Jokingly. But in all seriousness, Guantanamo for the worst offenders. | ||
Sure. Trump says he wants U.S. citizens. | ||
He's going to lose his base. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, no, even the crystals. | |
I ran a poll on this on X. 50-50, it was split with like 50,000 votes. | ||
Yes and no. | ||
Some people said, you know, capital offenses, the worst of the worst. | ||
Send them out of here. | ||
Half said it doesn't matter because it's a line you can't cross. | ||
And so Trump risked losing way too much support in that. | ||
And personally, I disagree with doing that. | ||
unidentified
|
I do too. | |
And the only argument that I heard that's somewhat compelling on that is if it's a U.S. government operated facility, sovereign territory in another country. | ||
But I am in no way, shape or form in favor of taking U.S. citizens and exiling them to another country to serve their sentence. | ||
I don't think that's appropriate. | ||
All right. | ||
Scientific Fanfic says, Man, Tim, you got every bit of the science wrong in your Blue Origin video. | ||
One atmospheric pressure inside, zero outside. | ||
Which way do you want the door to swing? | ||
Also, Blue Origin did not achieve orbit. | ||
Well, I stand corrected. | ||
Yeah, they were arguing that because the door... | ||
So there's conspiracy theories. | ||
We have this story pulled up. | ||
We didn't get to it. | ||
They were saying Blue Origin was faked because the door opened inward. | ||
And it shouldn't because it can, you know, Blow inward or whatever, which is not correct. | ||
And they were arguing that on the inside, you can't actually open the doors. | ||
They can only open from the outside. | ||
Also not correct. | ||
Because you mentioned Apollo 1. Apollo 1, yeah. | ||
But it does appear to be a PR stunt for Bezos. | ||
Definitely. Because they cracked the door open and closed it right away. | ||
Then he walked up and wrenched the door open, which he didn't need to do. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. Well, you have to be accessible from the inside because of the Apollo 1 fire on the launch pad. | |
It's a tragedy. | ||
All three astronauts died. | ||
Wow. Burned up inside. | ||
unidentified
|
The fire happened in the capsule, and all three of them in that capsule burned and died. | |
Apollo 1. Crazy. | ||
So, that's when they allowed, they made it, you know, regulations. | ||
You have to have, the door has to be accessible from the inside. | ||
All right, Brown Bear says, the El Salvador man story. | ||
Reminds me of the Marine that spent months in a Mexican prison because he took a wrong exit and ended up at a border crossing with his guns in the trunk of his car. | ||
No politicians did-ish to help him. | ||
Yep. That's brutal. | ||
unidentified
|
They're fighting harder to get a Maryland man home, you know, Abrego Garcia, than they did for Paul Whalen in Russia, too. | |
Spooky Toucan says, Michael Malice says the corporate press is factual but not truthful, but not even factual anymore. | ||
No, I think he's right about that. | ||
Like, the man lived in Maryland. | ||
So, they're using a technicality to call him a Maryland man. | ||
Sure. They're evil. | ||
That's what they are. | ||
They're evil. | ||
They are demons. | ||
Manipulative. I'm fairly confident that all of these corporate press people, when they get home, they peel their skin back and hang it up on the wall and then bask under a heat lamp and just stand there like this. | ||
You're mixing up lizard people with demons. | ||
They're not the same. | ||
Lizard people would bask under the heat. | ||
Demons wouldn't bask under the heat. | ||
Okay, I'm sorry. | ||
They get home. | ||
They peel their skin off, hang it up on the wall. | ||
A fissure emerges in their kitchen floor and they crawl down back to the depths of hell. | ||
unidentified
|
Back to the depths, yeah. | |
Only to return once again next morning. | ||
Bathe in a little fire. | ||
No, no, no, I'm sorry. | ||
Only to return once again when their phone vibrates because Trump tweeted and they're forced to come back out of hell to write a story about it. | ||
They have to write it. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, exactly. | |
Yeah, or maybe they're in a Signal group chat. | ||
Who knows? | ||
Down the Empire says, quote, nah, she's just a ride-or-die hoe. | ||
Mary. It's a good quote. | ||
unidentified
|
What about it? | |
All right. | ||
Is Destroyer says, Sean, I love the Fridays with 47 segments. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, those are fun. | |
You do on your morning show with Michael DelGiorno. | ||
unidentified
|
Mike DelGiorno. | |
It's a fun... | ||
We call him Pizza Boy. | ||
It's like a fake Trump interview I do every Friday morning. | ||
Have you done any voices for Seamus on Freedom Tunes? | ||
unidentified
|
No. You should? | |
I have not. | ||
Seamus loves his Trump. | ||
Yeah, but his Trump is like a Bugs Bunny version of Trump. | ||
Yeah. He talks like this. | ||
unidentified
|
By the way, I got along very well with Bugs Bunny. | |
He's a great rabbit. | ||
You know, he's got beautiful... | ||
Elmer Fudd was trying to get him, too. | ||
And Yosemite Sam. | ||
But we wouldn't let it happen. | ||
We're protecting bugs. | ||
Do you have any other voices? | ||
unidentified
|
Um, Nancy Pelosi? | |
Does that count? | ||
This is Nancy Pelosi, right? | ||
That was Trump is an evil person. | ||
What is that thing she does? | ||
unidentified
|
I don't know what this was when she did that. | |
But she rubs her wrists. | ||
This little insect movement, she's trying to like... | ||
unidentified
|
She's like a praying mantis. | |
Makes some cricket noises. | ||
Makes me think of a fly, just, you know. | ||
unidentified
|
You know, what's wild about her is this is a woman who can't stand upright. | |
This is a woman, you know, she can't keep a teeth in her mouth. | ||
And she's a great stock trader. | ||
I don't know how she does it. | ||
Let's go. | ||
Tim Pohl says, Tim, preach. | ||
Cops follow orders. | ||
They all took a big game, but go with the program. | ||
Agreed. Trump has a very short window. | ||
Reminder, Obama killed American citizens without due process. | ||
Trump should arrest Barack Obama for the killing of Abdulrahman Al-Awlaki. | ||
Let's go. | ||
If Trump just came out and was like, in, what was it, 2012, I think it was? | ||
I forget the year. | ||
Barack Obama ordered a drone strike on a civilian target in Yemen, killing a 16-year-old American citizen. | ||
We're indicting and charging him for, you know, capital murder. | ||
You know, he would never do it, though, because even Trump is bombing Yemen, so that's the way it goes, right? | ||
That's the way it goes. | ||
What have we here? | ||
Murray Evans says, as in war, you don't lay out your plans before. | ||
Hand the quietness we are seeing from this administration is the groundwork for the surprise attack with a ton of arrests at the same time. | ||
That way they don't know what happened. | ||
I hope so. | ||
I hope so. | ||
I don't know, but it does make sense. | ||
They need to make sure that when they do launch any kind of executive offensive in terms of arrests, they have to do it all at once. | ||
If you do it piecemeal, then you're giving them time to strategically plan and prepare. | ||
So Trump's got to do rapid fire. | ||
Make them spin in circles. | ||
Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, I'm looking forward to a true mega month. | ||
July is mega month. | ||
Did you know this? | ||
Yes. Mega month. | ||
Get your Twitter idiot guys ready. | ||
We are going to grill burgers every single night. | ||
Every single night. | ||
Just burgers. | ||
So we set up the trailer outside so that we can have a clubhouse for people to hang out in when we're doing the show and you've got to be quiet. | ||
So that way you can hang outside, grill burgers, skate on the ramp, play music, and it won't bother us in here. | ||
Once we wrap, we walk outside. | ||
I'm so happy winter's about over. | ||
Indeed. Yeah, the trees are coming back. | ||
It's going to be fun. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. All right. | |
What have we here? | ||
Thurin says Mary has a copy of the Turner Diaries in her purse. | ||
What is that? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I don't know what that is either. | ||
Well, all right. | ||
Jeffrey French says Bannon and Navarro ignored contempt. | ||
This time we fight. | ||
Yo. Aaron says that the ruling is unconstitutional. | ||
Isn't that breaking the law? | ||
If so, why isn't he being charged with a crime? | ||
Because it's not codified in law as a criminal offense. | ||
It's just unconstitutional. | ||
Meaning Trump must not abide. | ||
The Turner Diaries is a 1978 race war novel by William Luther Pierce. | ||
What are you trying to say about me? | ||
You think I'm racist? | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. What the heck? | |
All right. | ||
Someone also quoted your ride or die ho thing again. | ||
unidentified
|
I like that. | |
Pinochet says, do nothing, Dan Bongino. | ||
Not one of the corrupt feds will be prosecuted. | ||
I don't see that being a reality. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't think that's true. | |
Yeah, Dan was like pretty heavy-handed on his show. | ||
unidentified
|
He was bold. | |
Right. He made as many claims and backed it up. | ||
I don't think he's going to do nothing. | ||
Guys, Dan is not the kind of guy who breaks his word. | ||
No. He would not sacrifice the entirety of his legacy for a $150,000 a year job. | ||
To only leave after four years and go, I did nothing. | ||
Right. Like, what? | ||
Why would you walk away from millions of dollars to accomplish nothing? | ||
To only hurt your legacy? | ||
That makes no sense. | ||
unidentified
|
Because then you come back to nothing if that's the case, too. | |
You know, when you're done serving, he's going to come back and I would imagine, you know, people will be upset. | ||
Get back in the helm. | ||
You're going to, you know, everyone's going to be mad. | ||
So he's got to do something. | ||
This is why I'm like, there's no equation in which Dan isn't going to get the job done. | ||
Right. He either stands by his word and the people who believe in him and does the job that needs to be done, or he does nothing, loses his show, loses millions of dollars, hinders his investments, leaves the administration with maybe you have a couple hundred thousand dollars saved up after taxes, | ||
and then everyone's mad. | ||
That ain't gonna happen. | ||
It's not. | ||
You know, and plus with his tweet... | ||
You can tell when he said, guys, just because you're not seeing something doesn't mean it's not happening. | ||
unidentified
|
I mean, something's going on. | |
But it means you know that he takes to heart that people are frustrated and want to see something. | ||
Right. And it means something to him. | ||
Right. He cares about his people, man. | ||
He cares about doing the right thing. | ||
All right. | ||
Let's see. | ||
Mill like says, Hey, Tim, I kind of struggle between your membership and your free Rumble premium. | ||
Since winter-summer time shift, I lost Rumble part. | ||
I'll write an email to your support and to Rumble for more detail. | ||
I will confer with them, and hopefully they're listening now so we can get that sorted. | ||
The other thing I'm going to do is I'm going to talk to Rumble about doing an amnesty. | ||
That means anybody who is a lapsed TimCast member, if you sign back up, get you into Rumble Premium, I think they'd say yes to that. | ||
And I probably shouldn't say it to literally everybody watching the show before I ask them. | ||
But I'm going to do it anyway. | ||
unidentified
|
Honor system, yeah. | |
No, but I think the challenge is that it costs money to run these networks. | ||
Right. The reason we split up is because the Discord needs staff to maintain. | ||
And then Rumble Premium is a much, much bigger network which needs to generate revenue to survive. | ||
So we were like, we'll grandfather in everybody who's a member of TimCast. | ||
I think it would be beneficial because you get more people in the community. | ||
You know, we have a huge email roster of people who have been members or signed up for our email list. | ||
I think if we offered, like, a promo, like, sign up now and get both, I bet we could add tens of thousands to the Rumble Premium Timcast Discord. | ||
Like, it's going to cost us more money, but one thing we have to do right now is build network and get more people involved. | ||
So I bet they'd be like, let's do it. | ||
Let's make that investment. | ||
More people are involved means it's a cascade effect. | ||
They tell their friends, you get more friends. | ||
Right. So we'll try and get that figured out. | ||
Let's go. | ||
Elder Zimraya says, Cash Patel and Dan Scavino fiercely loyal, act only on Trump's orders, disciplined and tactically reserved. | ||
They mirror his approach. | ||
Little happens without Trump's focus and action. | ||
Trump must act. | ||
I agree. | ||
I agree. | ||
All right, Mr. Mike says, Trump allows the media circus. | ||
He could fix it easily by undoing Obama's 2012 Smith-Mund Act. | ||
If you don't know about it, check it out. | ||
It explains everything happening in mainstream media. | ||
The Smith-Mund Modernization Act. | ||
Yeah, but what that really did was allow for Voice of America to be broadcast in the United States. | ||
It doesn't really do much. | ||
Like, guys, the CIA was already doing this stuff, whether it was legal or not. | ||
Yeah. Maybe they're just trying to, like, make it so they can get away with it, you know. | ||
Basket K says, Tim and crew, please welcome baby Eloise to the world. | ||
I ask you to send prayers, well wishes, and vibes for her as she is our first and is having a rough start. | ||
You are all great and God bless. | ||
All of the prayers and wishes and vibes I can send you away, man. | ||
I wish you the best. | ||
You know, just had a kid. | ||
She's doing great. | ||
She's fat and happy. | ||
We're very excited. | ||
You know, we brought her out for a walk today and she looked at the sun. | ||
She enjoyed it. | ||
unidentified
|
That's good. | |
Very, very happy. | ||
unidentified
|
That's good for her. | |

What is up? | ||
Welcome to the Rumble Uncensored portion of the show. | ||
If you guys want to call into the show, you've got to join our Discord server at TimCast.com. | ||
And we recently reduced the threshold for call-ins. | ||
It is now three months. | ||
So we wanted to normalize it like $25 a month or, you remember, for three months. | ||
When you sign up at TimCast.com, you get access to everything except the call-in portion because we're trying to weed out Creepo leftists and, you know, other trolls. | ||
Nobody who wants to troll us wants to actually wait a long time before they get to call in, so they just don't. | ||
And then we found that $25 for people who do want to call in and they're willing to spend it, they jump right in. | ||
And then the way it works is if you sign up for $25 after three months, you can just drop it down $10. | ||
You're good. | ||
You're good. | ||
We just had to create some way to screen out the bullshit and the stupid cunts. | ||
Who are trying to fuck up the show for everybody. | ||
But that's about it. | ||
Everybody else, they always run out the door and they're probably smoking. | ||
Wait, I think someone's coming back in. | ||
No, Mary. | ||
Mary, do you smoke? | ||
She admits it. | ||
Yep, she smokes. | ||
I tried my first cigar the other day. | ||
Was it good? | ||
Yeah, it was a Mayflower. | ||
I didn't know what to expect, but I also didn't feel anything because I zin so often. | ||
I'm completely immune to the effects of nicotine. | ||
I feel nothing. | ||
So are you addicted then to zin? | ||
I don't buy that one bit. | ||
It's a relative term. | ||
I was saying I just tried my first cigar the other day. | ||
Oh, really? | ||
Was it a Mayflower? | ||
Yes, it was. | ||
I just said that. | ||
I knew it. | ||
And I was told, like, oh, you're going to be up all night, you're going to be wired, like, this is a lot. | ||
But it had no effect because I'm just non-stop zinning. | ||
So I've had a couple cigars in the past few months, and because of my crippling addiction to nicotine... | ||
There are multiple times that I think about it recently, and I'm just like, man. | ||
Would you get into cigars? | ||
Absolutely not. | ||
Just one a day? | ||
No. One a week? | ||
God, no. | ||
One a week? | ||
No. I want them too much. | ||
Then what was the occasion? | ||
We were in Nashville. | ||
In Nashville, we did. | ||
For election night? | ||
Yeah. And then I had one. | ||
We went to a cigar bar in D.C. to do a show. | ||
Cernovich was there. | ||
The binders came out. | ||
I walk in and Mike hands me the binder. | ||
He's like, there you go. | ||
I'm like, open it up. | ||
There's nothing in it. | ||
You threw a party nonetheless. | ||
It was a fun time. | ||
I would be back on the Marlboros pretty quickly. | ||
You couldn't make a compromise? | ||
The cigar really forces you to slow down. | ||
But it's the intake of... | ||
It's the nicotine. | ||
So I'm super, super addicted to nicotine. | ||
I couldn't... | ||
I wouldn't do any Zin either. | ||
Like, I'm not gonna rip Zins because I'll be back on the Marlboros. | ||
Because Zin would... | ||
They're all just... | ||
They would just set you up for the next mix. | ||
I would do literally anything to get cigarettes that didn't... | ||
Intravenous nicotine that used to end up on the market. | ||
No, no, no, no. | ||
I would do anything to have Marlboros that didn't give you cancer. | ||
Because smoking Marlboro... | ||
I love the nicotine, but smoking the Marlboro... | ||
But it does all the other bad stuff. | ||
Would you do it still? | ||
COPD looks like it sucks, too. | ||
Emphysema looks like it sucks. | ||
So you still wouldn't... | ||
Yeah, I mean, if it's gonna kill you... | ||
The reason I don't smoke is because it makes you ugly. | ||
I smoked for 30 years, and I look like I'm 40. Well, I guess you're just... | ||
You have a youthful spirit. | ||
I don't know. | ||
The only reasons I don't smoke are purely related to vanity. | ||
That's fine. | ||
There's nothing wrong with that. | ||
But even still. | ||
People generally think I've quit smoking and that's why I zin. | ||
I really just zin for the love of zin. | ||
And also nicotine. | ||
It's a pure love. | ||
Nicotine also ups the metabolism as well. | ||
That's true. | ||
And in certain circumstances it can boost testosterone. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, really? | |
It's been proven. | ||
Everyone knows I'm super high T. Yeah, you are. | ||
Definitely. You're extremely masculine. | ||
Smoke. And when people who smoked were less likely to get COVID? | ||
Yeah. What was up with that? | ||
Really? Wait, really? | ||
Less likely to contract it? | ||
Because they're probably less likely to survive it if they... | ||
I think the issue was that the smoking, the shit that was all over your lungs, coated over it and blocked the receptors so the virus had a hard time getting to it. | ||
Right. It had damaged the alveoli too much, basically, was that they said, yeah. | ||
Life hack. | ||
unidentified
|
It's called the China virus, by the way. | |
You know what? | ||
That was the golden year for podcasting. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, because everyone had to stay home. | |
Right. Everybody was making fucking insane money. | ||
The first month was really bad. | ||
And then all of a sudden, when it went heavy lockdown, all these shows were just nuts. | ||
Everyone started a podcast. | ||
unidentified
|
Nothing else to do. | |
Like a gold rush. | ||
And there was also nothing else to do. | ||
Yeah. And then... | ||
Thankfully not everybody succeeded. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. Just me. | |
You had a presence that was notable already. | ||
We had the morning show well before. | ||
Yeah, but you know what's funny is the morning show used to be way bigger and then when we created IRL, most of the audience started moving over to watching IRL instead. | ||
Now I'm stuck doing a double shift every day instead of just one. | ||
People are watching both. | ||
A lot of people are watching both. | ||
Yeah, actually, with the new Rumble lineup and Rumble support, the morning show is now getting close to... | ||
It's climbing way back up. | ||
unidentified
|
Nice. Yeah. | |
With the big numbers. | ||
The impact that IRL has, I feel like it punches above its weight when it comes to cultural impact. | ||
Yeah, you know what the sad thing is? | ||
Obviously, in terms of viewership, it's not the biggest show. | ||
It's big. | ||
I think with the recent launch to Rumble, we actually saw our viewership nearly double. | ||
It's crazy. | ||
Because Rumble is an entirely different audience. | ||
We are starting to see a lot of our YouTube viewers now moving over to Rumble permanently. | ||
And so that's really, really good in terms of the future. | ||
We just now need to make sure that Rumble can build a robust ecosystem to sustain all of this. | ||
And we need to get the ads and sponsors and all this stuff. | ||
But the sad thing is, if we did a show where we talked shit, just... | ||
Pick stupid bullshit. | ||
We'd probably have twice or three times the viewership because politics is really esoteric. | ||
unidentified
|
It is. | |
Talk shit about what? | ||
unidentified
|
It's compartmentalized, right? | |
The new Wall Street Journal piece about Elon's baby mama drama? | ||
No, fuck no. | ||
Holy shit, man. | ||
That would be some nice shit talking. | ||
Actually, I did a video on that and it's the lowest video I've ever done. | ||
unidentified
|
Really? Oh. | |
It's got like 30,000 views, which I was like, wow, people really don't care about that. | ||
unidentified
|
They don't care, yeah. | |
I don't think it's getting suppressed. | ||
I'm just kidding. | ||
Yeah. Yeah. | ||
It's like, because I've done crazier, I've done stupider videos that get way more, and I've done more offensive videos. | ||
Like, I did a video today showing a video of a guy mercilessly beating a cop, and that's suppressed. | ||
unidentified
|
The guy who got tased? | |
Yeah, and that's actually got the warning sign-out being like, how dare you? | ||
And it's like, I know if it's being suppressed and it's doing better. | ||
Yeah, I don't think anybody's expressing that. | ||
No, I mean, like, if you do a podcast about, like, what do women listen to? | ||
Call Her Daddy? | ||
They do. | ||
Yeah, just mundane, stupid bullshit. | ||
Like, wow. | ||
Gluck 3000. | ||
Oh my god. | ||
The what? | ||
That's a term coined by the Call Her Daddy podcast. | ||
What is the term? | ||
Gluck Gluck 3000. | ||
What does that mean? | ||
It might have been the 9000. | ||
Now that I think about it, I'm not sure. | ||
It's oral sex. | ||
Yeah, they give detailed instructions. | ||
This is what women want. | ||
Like, fuck off. | ||
It's what women want. | ||
Women don't listen to news and politics. | ||
unidentified
|
No, they don't. | |
Very few do. | ||
Very few. | ||
unidentified
|
Very few. | |
They largely listen to other men explain how to do blowjobs. | ||
Because women want to fuck dudes. | ||
Or, I mean, the way that that podcast exists now, it's not the way that it started, because they don't get graphic like that anymore. | ||
Really? It started as two women, now there's one that remains, and she just interviews celebrities about, like... | ||
Their trauma and, like, therapy bullshit. | ||
It's extremely feminine. | ||
News is, I would call news like a glass cannon, right? | ||
It's, if people know what that means, basically, it's very, very powerful, but also very limited. | ||
It's hard to build up a prominent show in general culture and pop issues, but that's the main audience, if you can get that. | ||
If you do news, you'll likely get a big bump right away because people are actively seeking out stories. | ||
Right. But it doesn't get that big. | ||
You know? | ||
So we do well. | ||
But, you know, just the way it is. | ||
Let's grab some callers. | ||
And I'm going to try not to talk because I'm losing my voice and I still got to work for three more days. | ||
Kicking Pandora, what is up? | ||
unidentified
|
Not much. | |
Thanks for letting me call in. | ||
Can you guys hear me? | ||
We can hear you, bud. | ||
How you doing? | ||
unidentified
|
Awesome. Doing great. | |
Yeah. Phil, congratulations once again on your 50th, half-century-old. | ||
We'd love to see you in the FitCast, in the fitness channel. | ||
You know, I actually do peruse there every once in a while. | ||
I have it on one of my – it's one of my lists that I do have, but I should probably go in and say hello more, shouldn't I? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, that'd be nice, man. |
