| James O 'Keefe has dropped his expose. | ||
| And it shows an advisor to the British royal family stating outside, I'm sorry, stating overtly and rather confidently that Prince Andrew was in fact abusing minors. | ||
| I'm using a little bit of innuendo here because I try to keep it family friendly. | ||
| But if you know what I mean, that he was meeting with Epstein and these things were happening. | ||
| And this guy is drunkenly just saying like, yup, all of that stuff happened. | ||
| This is a massive story, but I will say one thing. | ||
| What signals to me that we are winning is that currently James O 'Keefe is alive. | ||
| And I know it might sound crude or crass, and I am half-joking, maybe less than that. | ||
| But I firmly believe that if this was 10 years ago, and James O 'Keefe got his hands on a statement from a British royal family advisor stating that a prince was doing these things to underage girls, they would not have let James O 'Keefe successfully publish this information. | ||
| And he has. | ||
| The story is taking off. | ||
| It's only been, I think, an hour or so. | ||
| And it's already over 2 million views. | ||
| And it's big. | ||
| We're going to talk about that. | ||
| Plus, another story coming out as the Diddy trial has begun. | ||
| It gets weirder. | ||
| A man who shot up a Trump hotel in 2018 and claimed that he was a slave of Diddy. | ||
| Well, apparently, they've uncovered the NDA he had with Diddy, corroborating his claim that... | ||
| Diddy was keeping him as a slave of some sort. | ||
| It's a weird news day. | ||
| So, yes, at the same time, Pam Bondi has come out, I believe this was today, saying tens of thousands of documents, there's videos related to the Epstein case that are currently being reviewed, and it's going to take some time. | ||
| Many people are skeptical, but holy crap, all of this happening at the same time is a wild, wild thing. | ||
| So we're going to talk about all that. | ||

|
Re-gift them? | |
| Yes. | ||
| Well, I gifted them outside, but somebody told me I had to re-gift them on air. | ||
| These are from Batter Up Bakery. | ||
| Yes, which is in Long Island, New York. | ||
| I did pick them up this morning. | ||
| It is the bakery that is the best one in Long Island. | ||
| They did my wedding, and now I bring them to you. | ||
| Look at this! | ||
| Look at those delicious cannolis! | ||
| Those look amazing. | ||
| So good. | ||
| It just so happens that my wife's favorite dessert is cannoli. | ||
| And it just so happens that I'm going to pretend like I knew that before I picked them. | ||
| Thank you, sir! | ||
| Thank you for joining us, and thank you for the cannolis. | ||
| Elad's hanging out. | ||

| My name is Elad Eliyahu. | ||
| I'm the White House correspondent here at TimCast. | ||
| Sean, what's up? | ||
| The cannolis were delicious. | ||
| What part of Long Island were they from? | ||
| It says it on the box. | ||
| Levittown. | ||
| Levittown, great town. | ||
| I think Bill O 'Reilly actually was born and raised in Levittown. | ||
| Classic. | ||
| Thanks so much for bringing those. | ||
| They were delicious. | ||
| Happy to be here. | ||
| And big fan of the channel, by the way. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| What's going on, Phil? | ||
| 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's a story, ladies and gentlemen, from O 'Keefe Media Group World Exclusive. | ||
| Quote, Prince Andrew was underage girls. | ||
| Tape of royal family advisor exposes Prince Andrew's sexual relations with minors and deep ties to Jeffrey Epstein. | ||
| And you know what's fascinating is because I'm watching this video from James and I'm thinking to myself, how in the world is a British family, is the royal family's advisor outright admitting on camera Prince Andrew was doing these things? | ||
| He's framed it as though he was the victim. | ||
| He lied to me. | ||
| I was so mad, I believed him. | ||
| But he lied. | ||
| And the reporter from O 'Keefe Media Group says, lied about what? | ||
| And he goes, that he was effing underage girls. | ||
| So I think this guy knew the whole time. | ||
| And I'll say this too. | ||
| Didn't the royal family excommunicate? | ||
| Prince Andrew over this? | ||
| He didn't do any... | ||
| He was taken off of any kind of official duties. | ||
| I don't think they took his title away, but he was basically... | ||
| They just shunned him, stuffed him in a closet, and you didn't see him except for at the... | ||
| No one had seen him in public doing anything official for a long time, up until the... | ||
| They put him in the back room where they put the developmentally disabled royals. | ||
| They knew what he was doing. | ||
| So with this guy, this royal family advisor, there's no way they were unaware of what he was doing with Epstein. | ||
| They knew that he was flying with Epstein. | ||
| They knew that he was on the island. | ||
| And when these accusations came out, they tried severing ties with him. | ||
| So my question is, what was the rest of their involvement? | ||
| Now we do have the video. | ||
| The first thing I want to mention is... | ||
| I had no idea. | ||
| Anyway, let me just play the beginning. | ||
| Listen to this. | ||
|

|
John Bryan has been a close confidant to the British royal family for a long time. | |
| He worked for Queen Elizabeth II, was "best friends" with Princess Diana, and had a long-term intimate relationship with the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson. | ||
| According to Bryan, he practically raised Sarah Ferguson's children, the princesses Beatrice and Yvonne. | ||
| Eugene. | ||
| And Bryan said that he maintained a friendship with Ferguson's husband, the Duke of York, Prince Andrew. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| We learned enough. | ||
| So this guy, deep, deep ties to the British royal family. | ||
| He says he learned this. | ||
| Here's an honest question. | ||
| Did he learn this in the loose, abstract sense of he read the news one day and assumed it was true? | ||
| Or is he saying that the British royal family and everyone he knows... | ||
| They gave him privy information and were like, yes, this is true and correct. | ||
| I mean, I don't have any kind of... | ||
| I ain't giving him the benefit of the doubt. | ||
| I have no idea, honestly. | ||
| Is this guy on the outs? | ||
| No, he is now. | ||
| Well, now he is. | ||
| I was just saying, is there possibly an alternative motivation for this? | ||
| Maybe the royal family didn't do nothing wrong. | ||
| Perhaps. | ||
| This guy is angry at the royal family. | ||
| I doubt it. | ||
| He didn't know that it was being secretly recorded. | ||
| I think it's an amazing thing that O 'Keefe keeps getting away with these hidden camera investigations that he does. | ||
| And it amazes me still how far so many people are willing to go and what they're willing to say to a young girl that they think they're going to get it on with. | ||
| Because, I mean, that's what's going on in all these O 'Keefe setups. | ||
| And it's kind of outrageous that he's willing to say this to try to attract a young woman, all things considered. | ||
| Because that's what's really going on here. | ||
| No, I think he has to say this. | ||
| Like he mentioned, he said he did this interview in the Daily Mail where he said he believed Andrew. | ||
| Nobody believes Andrew. | ||
| So he's coming out saying, I was so pissed because he lied to me. | ||
| I think this guy knew. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| His degree of involvement with the royal family is too intense. | ||
| I think the whole royal family knew that Andrew was going and banging underage girls. | ||
| Well, I... | ||
| I imagine that not only did they know, that they knew, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was not really a surprise, but the problem was that word got out, right? | ||
| Like royal family, people in positions of high power, like they do, there's debauchery that surrounds them consistently because they can get away with it. | ||
| And I think that because he had, he was not discreet enough that that was the actual problem. | ||
| I was going to say, do you think the British people are going to be angry that he was also hooking up with miners? | ||
| Like, you know, because they're very into the global warming thing? | ||
| So, like, coal miners are a persona in Colorado. | ||
| No, I think more so, you've got a tendency towards the migrant groups that are coming to the UK that are intentionally targeting miners. | ||
| There's a decent percent of the population of the UK that's probably going to be like, and? | ||
| Considering the gangs, the grooming gangs and all that stuff, that wasn't a joke. | ||
| I mean, why doesn't he just say it's a cultural difference that the royals have from the regular British people, and everybody can move on? | ||
| They're going to be like, well, at least he wasn't racist, you know? | ||
| It would have been funny when he was like, when you're royalty, you can do literally anything you want, so I'd like to see someone try to do something about it. | ||
| You raped underage girls, but at least he wasn't racist about it, yeah. | ||
| Epstein has been accused of a couple things. | ||
| One is, he would invite people on his plane, and then, like, let's say Elad's, you know, chilling at a party, and he's drinking. | ||
| This is before anyone who Epstein was. | ||
| The accusation is that Epstein would be like, so what do you do? | ||
| And he'd be like, oh, I'm a journalist. | ||
| I'd be like, oh, that's amazing. | ||
| What do you got going on this weekend? | ||
| He'd say, I'm going to fly back to New York. | ||
| And he'd be like, hey, I got a jet. | ||
| You want to fly my PJ? | ||
| I'll fly back to New York. | ||
| And someone like a lot goes, what? | ||
| For real? | ||
| That sounds amazing. | ||
| What he would do is he'd bring people onto the plane, people with power, not like just some random reporter, but just as a hypothetical. | ||
| While they're in the air, teenage girls walk out. | ||
| And they're hanging out. | ||
| He's like, oh, these are so-and-so and so-and-so. | ||
| They're hanging out with us. | ||
| You want some champagne? | ||
| Get the guy a little drunk. | ||
| Secret cameras rolling. | ||
| And then the girls come in, do their deed with the guy. | ||
| And then Epstein comes in, sits down and goes, those girls were 15 years old and I got you on camera. | ||
| You'll do whatever I say from now on. | ||
| That's one of the conspiracies. | ||
| So I think that's probably a lot of what he did. | ||
| Like he would trick these guys. | ||
| But I also think... | ||
| It's also true that a lot of these guys were like, don't know, don't care. | ||
| Or they knew, right? | ||
| So I think Prince Andrew knew exactly what he was doing. | ||
| Because you look at that photo of him with Virginia Giuffre, and he's like smiling, looking at the camera, and it's like, oh, he knows exactly what he's doing. | ||
| Like that young girl right there, come on. | ||
| I think she's 20. I do feel like it's a really dumb move to allow yourself to be photographed with an underage girl like that. | ||
| Especially if it's not in a public setting, if it's at someone's private home. | ||
| That's a dumb movie. | ||
| Unless Epstein went to Andrew and said, you will take the photograph. | ||
| I mean, that could be, yeah. | ||
| Even more bad PR for the royal family at this point just seems like we're kicking a dead horse. | ||
| It's a really sad state of affairs for the royal family. | ||
| Who's the current... | ||
| Prince or King Charles? | ||
| King Charles. | ||
| Who's in charge now, but seeing from when he grew up, he's 80 or 90 some odd years, I'm no historian for the royal family, it's like a seriously sad state of affairs because over the course of his life, he saw the role of the monarchy just completely diminish, see their empire completely flounder, and now the relatives of his family, what are they best known for in our generation? | ||
| It's for taking part in these underage sex scandals, and... | ||
| It's a sad state of affairs for the face of the royal family, because this used to be the most prestigious royal family. | ||
| The crown was the most powerful country at the time with their British East India Company, and that wasn't too long ago. | ||
| And to see the status of the royal family right now and the direction that the UK is going in, it's a very, very sad state of affairs. | ||
| If I had one wish, if a genie appeared before me, I'd say, I'd like to briefly go back in time. | ||
| To 1780. | ||
| To stand before King George III and show him what becomes of his empire and his family. | ||
| But for a fleeting moment. | ||
| Just like the war ends instantly, he gives out the empire, crumbles, the man falls into a deep depression. | ||
| This is what your legacy will be. | ||
| Congratulations. | ||
| It's not just losing to the colonies. | ||
| It's Meghan Markle's pasta on Netflix. | ||
| Well, it's like also what's become of the UK? | ||
| What is London? | ||
| What does London have to show for itself? | ||
| It doesn't feel British over there, and I don't think the country will last in its native Western self for very much longer. | ||
| That is true about London. | ||
| I visited it on my honeymoon, and it is probably the most Islamic place I've ever been in my... | ||
| And I was just in a random spot. | ||
| Great falafel. | ||
| Yeah, true. | ||
| But, like, it's completely different. | ||
| But the thing is, that's the economic engine of the UK. | ||
| I think if you take London away, a third of your GDP goes away, and they end up dropping, like, 30 slots in terms of the size of their economy. | ||
| So like the UK is essentially a third world country with a super financial city attached to it. | ||
| I'm like one end. | ||
| It is actually really sad what's happening in the UK, even separate from this guy. | ||
| It's embarrassing that the prince can't even lie. | ||
| Like that interview where he was denying it and he's sweating. | ||
| No. | ||
| Isn't England supposed to be a Christian nation like founded in their document through the Royal Family? | ||
| The Church of England. | ||
| I mean, fundamentally, I think that's going to change as the population shifts in England, and it might be the first Islamic country in Europe. | ||
| I don't know if that's true. | ||
| The royal family is the—and there's countries that are more Islamic than the UK and Europe right now—but the royal family is the head of the Church of England. | ||
| So they're like the pope, where they're a king or queen on one end, but also the head of the church. | ||
| And that's, like, completely fallen by the wayside. | ||
| Like, they have a state-mandated religion, and they're more secular than the UK. | ||
| Well, this is a half joke, but what do you think would have happened if Prince Andrew in the interview, when the lady said, you're being accused of sleeping with underage girls. | ||
| Like, what if he just went, I'm Muslim. | ||
| She would have immediately shut up. | ||
| What do you mean by underage? | ||
| Let's say something about the prophet. | ||
| I'm Muslim. | ||
| What are you insinuating? | ||
| You're Muslim? | ||
| Yes, I converted. | ||
| What are you insinuating? | ||
| Are you insulting the prophet? | ||
| She'd be like, no, no, no, no. | ||
| I'm so sorry. | ||
| I'll never ask you again. | ||
| And they would have immediately dropped everything. | ||
| And then in the United States, we'd still be going like, holy crap. | ||
| Not in the UK. | ||
| I mean, that was just out. | ||
| It's like, at that point, if you say anything, you go to prison. | ||
| Didn't they say he had some crazy sweating medical condition or something like that? | ||
| And then people found all these other interviews where he was not sweating at all, like before and after, and it was supposed to be incurable, but they're like, oh no, it was not there then. | ||
| So I want to jump to this story. | ||
| This story is about a week old, but I think this matters considering the context. | ||
| So I'm the Independent. | ||
| Virginia Giuffre's dad insists she didn't die by suicide and claims someone got to her. | ||
| She also had that viral post from a few years ago, it was five years ago, where she said, I am not suicidal. | ||
| I don't think she killed herself. | ||
| You're a rational feller. | ||
| What do you think happened? | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| I don't know too much about the story. | ||
| Look, it is possible that she did kill herself, but it is really weird that everybody involved in this situation, despite proclaiming that they're not suicidal, seems to just happen to go at a convenient time. | ||
| I'll take the contrarian take here. | ||
| Virginia, unfortunately, suffered a very tough life when she was a young woman. | ||
| She was taken advantage of by a billionaire. | ||
| And I think, I hate to use the word candidate, I mean, I think you go over what happened throughout her life. | ||
| I think she'd be a prime candidate from somebody who suffered through so much mental anguish, and then the publicity following this. | ||
| And then she also, unfortunately... | ||
| In addition to the correct accusations she made, made a lot of false accusations that she eventually ended up rescinding, which put a ton of public pressure on her, and it diminished her ability against Alan Dershowitz that she actually ended up rescinding. | ||
| She said that Alan Dershowitz was involved in her sexual assaults, which he wasn't, and she ended up rescinding. | ||
| How do you know he wasn't? | ||
| She said she rescinded it. | ||
| They both did. | ||
| So there's a lot of pressure that goes into being a survivor. | ||
| Well, she rescinded them before her death. | ||
| You never know exactly for sure, but I feel like considering a lot of these factors, it wouldn't be the craziest thing for her to be crushed under so much stress and pressure considering her life was filled with these horrible acts that were done to her as a child and now forever being connected to conspiracy and issues with this trial moving forward. | ||
| I don't mean to be graphic, but what was the alleged method, if anybody knows? | ||
| Because women tend to use specific methods on pills. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| So that might go into my calculations on whether or not I buy this. | ||
| But the father, to be fair to your point, the father probably doesn't want this to be true because, you know, when something like this happens, people around you feel like they miss the sign. | ||
| So this is like an easier explanation for him. | ||
| Like, oh, a sexual assault survivor, a ton of conspiracy surrounding them. | ||
| I'm sure she's harassed regularly by people on both ends. | ||
| And there's a ton of conspiracy, again, surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein stuff. | ||
| Obviously a lot of actual true fact there. | ||
| I mean, his death is also a conspiracy, like a fodder for conspiracy theory. | ||
| So, I mean, it's suspicious, I'll just say that. | ||
| Like, I look at it and I'm like, I don't know about that. | ||
| How she died has not been disclosed. | ||
| But there was also that viral post she made a couple weeks before where she was like, the doctors tell me I have four days to live. | ||
| I just want to see my kids one last time, which is not something you say. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| If you're dying in the hospital, you just bring your kids. | ||
| So it was a very weird statement. | ||
| And at that time, a lot of people thought it sounded like she was being threatened with death. | ||
| That the car that hit her was trying to kill her and she survived and they're coming for her. | ||
| And she was basically putting out that message to publicly beg her assassins just to let her see her kids. | ||
| The bus driver that hit her said, I have no idea what you're talking about. | ||
| It was a fender bender. | ||
| It was a minor bump. | ||
| Minor bump. | ||
| It broke the taillight. | ||
| That's all it did. | ||
| The car didn't go flying. | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| For conspiracy's sake, it did take a long time for her to commit suicide, right? | ||
| They could have offed her a lot sooner. | ||
| We actually don't know that. | ||
| We don't know that. | ||
| All we know is that there was a report of an unresponsive person. | ||
| Look, it's tragic, okay? | ||
| If someone takes their own life and they live alone, it could be weeks. | ||
| Until the mailman comes. | ||
| Until someone says they were supposed to call me three days ago. | ||
| They never did. | ||
| I'm going to go knock. | ||
| A wellness check because someone says I can't get a hold of somebody. | ||
| Cops knock on the door. | ||
| Nobody answers. | ||
| They leave. | ||
| Eventually someone says we got a missing persons. | ||
| They go in. | ||
| For convenience sake, it would have been convenient for Epstein to have had her be... | ||
| Gone sooner. | ||
| A lot sooner, obviously. | ||
| Considering that Pam Bondi says that she's got 10,000 new documents and videos and they're about to release them, I think it is extremely suspicious that now Virginia Giuffre ends her own life. | ||
| Yeah, that's what I was going to say. | ||
| It's like the timeline of when this was a story, when you're talking about, is not the updates because it was kind of buried after Epstein's suspicious death. | ||
| That was gone, but then we have the Trump administration saying that they're going to release it, doing that weird paper document release. | ||
| But my point is, it's coming back up, which honestly could support both theories. | ||
| Maybe all this is in the news, so she's getting more harassment, or maybe somebody's afraid that stuff is going to be released, and then all of a sudden her testimony becomes more valuable. | ||
| With this particular case, and I'm somebody who tries to fight against my urge to conspiracy theorize, I think guilty for these people until proven innocent. | ||
| Is the standard? | ||
| Because they've lied so much about everything surrounding this. | ||
| Like, I'm gonna need hard evidence to support their theory that this was a suicide. | ||
| Massad's not paying me enough. | ||
| I can't spin hard enough here. | ||
| We can move on. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Not a suicide. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I would throw my line in with not a suicide as well. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think she knew a lot more than she let out in just that one statement. | ||
| I think it is highly improbable that the only person she interacted with was Andrew. | ||
| And I think one of the only reasons we know about Andrew is because those photos get released. | ||
| You had one defamation suit with information. | ||
| As we know, she did make accusations you mentioned against Dershowitz. | ||
| She recanted those. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| Dershowitz is... | ||
| He was a Clinton lawyer, wasn't he? | ||
| And now all of a sudden he's MAGA and he's coming around and he's saying, actually. | ||
| So I say investigate each and every one of these people. | ||
| And I'll tell you what, Donald Trump, too. | ||
| I don't give anybody special pass. | ||
| I know the stories about why Trump and his family flew on the Epstein jet. | ||
| I'm concerned about who actually flew to the island. | ||
| So we'll do a big investigation. | ||
| We'll figure out who went to the island. | ||
| I don't care if it's Trump, RFK Jr., or Bill Clinton, who I'm pretty sure did. | ||
| We want that list of names. | ||
| Because we know who went to the island likely was involved in some, you know, just child abuse. | ||
| I think no matter, yes, we should get more information. | ||
| And I thought it was actually really weird that the administration invited, like, I don't know, a dozen some odd influencers to give them these binders that, I don't know, reissued the same... | ||
| You know the story? | ||
| There's two stories. | ||
| Both stories start as this. | ||
| There was an influencer meeting at the White House. | ||
| They were brought to... | ||
| Talk with J.D. Vance. | ||
| That was it. | ||
| And then abruptly, it was like Pam Bondi's team came in and said, here's the first piece of the Epstein files. | ||
| Now the story splits into two. | ||
| One was they intentionally scuttled them out the door where the press was to make a big moment. | ||
| The other story is they were moving the people quickly out of the Rose Garden exit and didn't realize the press was going to make a big stink about. | ||
| I actually believe that it was an accident more so. | ||
| Based on what I've heard. | ||
| Because Pam Bondi, here's what I think happened. | ||
| She went on Hannity. | ||
| She talked smack. | ||
| I've seen the Epstein documents. | ||
| Oh yeah, it's bad. | ||
| Everybody heard her say that and said, okay, release them. | ||
| And she went, oh crap. | ||
| Because she didn't have them. | ||
| So then she was like, I'll give them to some influencers. | ||
| Then they get shuffled out this door in front of the press. | ||
| The story goes ten times bigger and she goes, crap! | ||
| Now it's bigger and I don't have anything. | ||
| So I think it was an accident. | ||
| And now, you know, we'll see what happens. | ||
| But anyway, that's... | ||
| I don't think there's any amount of documents about this case that Pam Bondi can release that would satisfy some conspiracy-minded people around this. | ||
| Unless it's, you know, whatever she releases, people will demand videos of their political enemies doing the worst things imaginable on camera and Mossad being involved and orchestrating all this. | ||
| Unless that comes out, word for word, then nobody will be satisfied with no matter what will come out of this. | ||
| As long as what the people previously, you know, currently believe is confirmed in there, then they'll believe it. | ||
| But that's part of the problem with this stuff. | ||
| None of this, you're right, none of this will solve anything. | ||
| No one's gonna think, no one's gonna see whatever comes out and say, oh... | ||
| Well, man, I thought one thing and now I don't. | ||
| That is not going to happen at all. | ||
| You need to have the person that is in their mind. | ||
| Like you're saying, that has to be there. | ||
| So if there's no Bill Clinton, everybody's going to be like, it's a cover-up for the Clintons. | ||
| And if there's no Donald Trump, exactly. | ||
| It's a cover-up for the Trumps. | ||
| But I just hope Pam Bondi discovers a PDF. | ||
| If she wants to release the next batch of documents, I would really appreciate that. | ||
| I have a bad feeling that paper's going to be followed up with little JVC tapes. | ||
| So you're going to have to take those home, plug them up into those little video cameras. | ||
| Yeah, hook it up to the TV and that's how you're going to have to view it. | ||
| I guess my biggest... | ||
| There are more efficient ways to release this. | ||
| She's going to release one single film reel spool and just like... | ||
| There you go. | ||
| That's the information. | ||
| Every document, each document is a single frame, and the videos are all in that roll of film. | ||
| And it's going to have to be that old film that has that silver nitrates in it, so it's super flammable. | ||
| So you need a 100-year-old projector. | ||
| As she hands it to someone, she's handing it off just as they're installing a new window, which lines up with the sun and then just bursts into flames. | ||
| Oh, jeez. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| That was her only copy. | ||
| She gives it to the Gen Z conservative influencer. | ||
| She's like, you know what to do with this. | ||
| They're like, I don't even know what a DVD is. | ||
| What do you mean I know what to do with this? | ||
| So I just wanted to have one last point here. | ||
| Jeffrey Epstein's crimes and associates' crimes are obviously horrific and unspeakably evil. | ||
| And I don't want to diminish that at all. | ||
| But I think one of the issues I have here is that... | ||
| I feel as though most people know more about this Jeffrey Epstein stuff than a lot of tangible politics that could affect more of their life or electoral stuff that could affect more of their life. | ||
| So, like, for example, right now in Georgia, there are two Democrat senators that could probably both be Republican. | ||
| And Brian Kemp, the most popular Republican in Georgia, decided not to run for a seat that he would almost for sure be able to win. | ||
| So, like, instead of focusing on, like, some important tangible politics that could affect, like, a close Senate that's, like, 50-50... | ||
| I think Republicans actually have a couple of seat edge. | ||
| It's like, oh, Jeffrey Epstein stuff getting rehashed every single night. | ||
| And I feel like we're missing on a, you know, it's an important story again. | ||
| I don't want to diminish it, but I don't want you to become, you know, so-called Epstein-pilled in the head where you're missing any other bigger story. | ||
| What do you think people in chat are saying about you? | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I don't mind, but I'm not led by the chat. | ||
| I think audience capture is probably the worst thing. | ||
| I'm an anti-populist like, but we could go on to this. | ||
| Let's jump to this next story from the Miami Herald. | ||
| Pam Bondi makes another claim on the Epstein files and even Republicans are skeptical. | ||
| They say it's been nearly 70 days since Pam Bondi promised the public release of the Epstein files. | ||
| It took a skeptical remark from a top Republican congressman to force her to explain why she hasn't followed through. | ||
| Quote, there are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children. | ||
| Or child porn. | ||
| And there are hundreds of victims. | ||
| And no one victim will ever get released. | ||
| It's just the volume. | ||
| And that's what they're going through right now. | ||
| The FBI is diligently going through that. | ||
| I've got advice for Pam Bondi. | ||
| don't release images of victims. | ||
| We're good. | ||
| You still have to go through other documents and files? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Then release them every Friday. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Section by section. | ||
| To be fair to Pam Bondi, and I don't buy this excuse, but I feel like I kind of have to explain. | ||
| I recently, with a friend of mine, Devin Tracy, requested court documents from a case that the Innocence Project was working on. | ||
| And by the way, the Innocence Project was lying about that case. | ||
| And that involved children that were victimized. | ||
| So they send you the documents, but they have to have somebody redact the names. | ||
| So we have these documents. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| Not all of the names are redacted in all of the files. | ||
| And this is just one trial. | ||
| 1,400 pages being scanned. | ||
| So if there's actually tens of thousands of documents, I don't think it's the videos that are the issue. | ||
| Because, you know, if it's like... | ||
| Adult content featuring children. | ||
| You just don't release that. | ||
| But if it's paper and it has the names of the people on it, if, like, they can't handle that for one trial, one case, then I can understand why this could take a long time. | ||
| But 70 days into her promise to release this is a much worse excuse than... | ||
| They called the first binders Phase 1. Okay, well, Phase 1 could have been a month later when they were like... | ||
| If Pam came out and said, we have tens of thousands of videos and documents, we are going through them. | ||
| We have limited manpower. | ||
| Okay, understand the DOJ is trying to do a lot of things, not just this one case, but we are prioritizing a lot. | ||
| Here's batch number two. | ||
| And then you get, even if it was 10 pages, people would be screaming and cheering. | ||
| 10 pages, names redacted of victims. | ||
| And information explaining what Epstein was doing, confirming some details, even if it was the slightest confirmation. | ||
| People would say, thank you. | ||
| But who can have this? | ||
| They can't put a bunch of staff on this. | ||
| Because if they do, it's going to leak out. | ||
| And whatever they want to decide to put out versus what they don't want to because it's a huge... | ||
|
unidentified
|
So what if it leaks out? | |
| No, I'm fine with it leaking out, but if you want to protect the identities of alleged victims and all that... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, there's going to be video. | |
| That's what they're going through, video, right? | ||
| But if you can't put more than maybe, I don't know, five, ten people on this, and even then the chances of it leaking are extraordinarily high. | ||
| Remember, we had that Supreme Court decision leak. | ||
| Each justice only has like four or five law clerks. | ||
| That still went out there. | ||
| It's still a mystery that we can't possibly solve. | ||
| I could just imagine the hottest case of the last 10 years. | ||
| If you put a huge portion of the staff on this, then you're going to get it leaked out. | ||
| Again, they need to explain this. | ||
| They need to make this statement. | ||
| I'm arguing of what I think might happen, but yeah, it would leak out. | ||
| I understand that, but they're not making that case. | ||
| I think they're more nonsensical. | ||
| From what I've heard, or at least as far as I understand, Or one of the reasons that they're claiming is because there's video evidence of underage, like actual graphic video of underage people. | ||
| I mean, obviously they likely wouldn't still be underage, but you still don't want to put that stuff out there. | ||
| And I mean, look, as much as people want to know what happened and they want information, I think that if they're actually trying to make sure that graphic footage is not released to the public, I think that's okay. | ||
| As far as I'm concerned. | ||
| So, I don't know if... | ||
| And again, I'm still of the opinion that unless the video evidence confirms people's priors, it won't really matter anyways. | ||
| There's no excuse for them not releasing anything. | ||
| They should have released anything. | ||
| Anything. | ||
| Even a single page. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, what's the deal? | ||
| They have nothing? | ||
| It's fake? | ||
| They're lying? | ||
| Pam Bondi got in over her head. | ||
| She made a comment on Hannity about having the documents. | ||
| Turned out they were old documents with nothing really substantive in it. | ||
| Now she looks like an idiot. | ||
| Do you know how hard it is to order the floppy disks that they intend on releasing this on? | ||
| Because they have to do it in the least efficient way possible? | ||
| But no, you're right. | ||
| They should have released something, like some sections of it. | ||
| If somebody's working on it... | ||
| 70 days. | ||
| Like, we should have something to look at. | ||
| I mean, don't we have a Department of Government efficiency to fire people who can't do simple tasks like this? | ||
| Like, this should be a simple thing. | ||
| We should put Doge on finding the documents. | ||
| Elon Musk's last thing that he does while still working at the White House. | ||
| Listen, somebody found out that Letitia James, actually this wasn't even the government, listed her father as her husband on a mortgage application in 1983. | ||
| So get that guy on there. | ||
| Get Crazy Eddie on this particular issue and he'll figure out what's up. | ||
| Get Cernovich back on the case. | ||
| I don't think he's off the case. | ||
| I just think that Pam Bondi is... | ||
| I don't know that I believe they have anything. | ||
| Right? | ||
| This is the... | ||
| Imagine this was a nothing story, like Jeffrey Epstein didn't do anything wrong. | ||
| Likely story, huh, Sean? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He was framed. | ||
| No, I think the real issue is that people in power destroyed the story a long time ago. | ||
| Remember Bill Clinton? | ||
| I mean, not, well, yes, Bill Clinton, but remember Bill Gates? | ||
| He was in that interview, I think it was like BBC, and then they asked him about Epstein, he's like, well, he's dead now, so what does it matter? | ||
| Jesus. | ||
| And everyone was like, uh, what does that mean? | ||
| The conspiracy brain part of me would say there's actually a bipartisan consensus on trying to keep most of this under wraps, if anything. | ||
| Like, that's, you know, between the two parties, they're both down because he recruited from both parties. | ||
| So, that's how you get the ultimate protection. | ||
| But I kind of think it's going to be a lot of Democrats. | ||
| A ton, I'm sure. | ||
| But a ton of Republicans, too. | ||
| And Donald Trump even just photographed if there's another photo of him with Jeffrey Epstein, not even necessarily in an act. | ||
| It's like such a PR nightmare. | ||
| Yeah, he ain't running again, though. | ||
| I think it's going to be less Republicans than you think because, you know, Republicans are more into dudes secretly, not little kids. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That was the problem Epstein had is that all the Republicans he found were gay and all the Democrats were pedos. | ||
| And what is up with that? | ||
| A lot of gay Republicans. | ||
| Many gay Republicans. | ||
| The lock cabin Republicans are taking over the party, huh? | ||
| I guess. | ||
| There's a lot of stories of Republicans who were, like, anti-LGBTQ stuff, and then it turned out that they were actually gay the whole time. | ||
| Yeah, super anti, and then it turns out they're in the... | ||
| What was that story about that guy in the airport? | ||
| Oh, the airport bathroom guy. | ||
| I don't remember which one. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| That was, I figured it was a senator or who that was, but that was an Idaho guy. | ||
| Idaho representative, I think a congressman. | ||
| Don't really remember the whole story, but yeah, he... | ||
| Favors in the bathroom? | ||
| At the airport? | ||
| I don't know about that. | ||
| He was signaling. | ||
| The Larry Craig scandal? | ||
| Is that what that was? | ||
| That's right, yeah. | ||
| Senator from Idaho. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| He was arrested for lewd conduct in a men's restroom in Minneapolis-St. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Paul. | |
| He was signaling, doing a homosexual... | ||
| The boys have signals. | ||
| That's an outrageous culture to have. | ||
| Let's get the facts here. | ||
| The best source, Wikipedia. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He was arrested for disorderly. | ||
| They say at 1216, Craig tapped his right foot. | ||
| I recognize this as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct. | ||
| Craig tapped his toes several times and moves his foot closer to my foot. | ||
| The presence of others did not seem to deter Craig as he moved his right foot so that it touched the side of my left foot. | ||
| Which was within my stall area. | ||
| Craig then proceeded to swipe his left hand under the stall divider several times with the palm of his hand facing upward. | ||
| He just needed some TP. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dude. | |
| That's all it was. | ||
| He said, you know, I could just spare a single ply. | ||
| I like the term, in my stall area. | ||
| This happened when I was in high school, so it was like the biggest joke for Edward for a long period of time there. | ||
| Homosexual culture is extremely hypersexual to think that you have, like, call signs. | ||
| Because among heteros, we don't have, like, oh, tap outside. | ||
| That's because women and men are different. | ||
| Yeah, because sliding your foot under the door in a women's bathroom is not going to get you laid. | ||
| No, but even, like... | ||
| No, wait, wait. | ||
| So, it was a cop. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He was signaling to a cop. | ||
| It was a sting operation. | ||
| I don't think it was. | ||
| He was just in the bathroom. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| So the officer showed Craig his police identification beneath the partition separate the stalls, and the officer then pointed his finger towards the restroom exit. | ||
| Craig said no, but ultimately complied with the officer's request to leave the restroom. | ||
| Because he thought he had handcuffs. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Craig was reluctant to go. | ||
| Why didn't Craig just be like, I was asking for toilet paper? | ||
| It wasn't his first rodeo. | ||
| How did this cop know what was going on? | ||
| Yeah, the cop's like, I recognize these signals. | ||
| He wouldn't stop. | ||
| He kept signaling to me. | ||
| Like, bro, look, I gotta mess. | ||
| If I'm sitting in a stall doing my business and some guy starts, like, bumping his foot against mine, I'd be like, hey, yo, F off. | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Maybe the cop, like, dates based on shoes, and, like, he didn't like his shoes, so he's like, you know what? | ||
| This is an arrest right here. | ||
| This was a senator from where? | ||
| Idaho. | ||
| Idaho. | ||
| Oh, your home state. | ||
| Craig apparently just stated that he was doing a wide stance and his foot must have touched yours. | ||
| Was he a Mormon or something, too? | ||
| No idea. | ||
| Because I think in Idaho, don't you guys have many Mormons there? | ||
| Am I making that up? | ||
| I know they have potatoes. | ||
| No, because then I'm sure they're represented in Republican politics. | ||
| I feel like he should have been able to get out of this, though. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| He should have been able to say toilet paper or something. | ||
| But it's not just that. | ||
| Why are we believing this is true? | ||
| Well, he did plead guilty. | ||
| He pleaded guilty to disorderly, but like... | ||
| If this happened right now, nobody would believe it. | ||
| If a Republican was in a bathroom and a cop arrested him and claimed he was trying to engage in some kind of lewd behavior, people would be like, bull, no way. | ||
| Because of the lawfare. | ||
| My problem is, if you're going to lie, lie better. | ||
| He has a terrible excuse. | ||
| I was reading this. | ||
| It says he had a wide stance. | ||
| And, like, that's how he touched his foot. | ||
| I think there's a big difference between tapping your foot and then grazing somebody and then standing wide when you're taking a leak. | ||
| I find this to be very awkward. | ||
| Resignation, reconsideration, and then motion to withdraw guilty plea. | ||
| More allegations emerge. | ||
| Oh, look, here's what he said. | ||
| He said, I did nothing wrong at the airport. | ||
| I regret my decision to plead guilty, and the sadness that decision has brought to my wife, family, friends, and fellow Idahoans. | ||
| For that, I apologize. | ||
| In June, I overreacted and made a poor decision while I was not involved in any inappropriate conduct at the airport or anywhere else. | ||
| I chose to plead guilty to a lesser charge in order to make it go away. | ||
| I did not seek any counsel, either from an attorney, staff, friends, or family. | ||
| That was a mistake, and I deeply regret it. | ||
| Because of that, I have not retained counsel. | ||
| He claimed that his state of mind was troubled at the time of the guilty plea and his family had been relentlessly and viciously harassed. | ||
| That's when he realized he could deny it. | ||
| I gotta be honest. | ||
| He's like, wait a minute, there's a not guilty plea? | ||
| I could get away with this. | ||
| More allegations emerge. | ||
| Yeah, it went around for years. | ||
| Improper conduct. | ||
| Yeah, not his first rodeo. | ||
| That's wild. | ||
| I'm just saying right now, if, like, Marco Rubio was in a bathroom and a cop arrested him and claimed that he was propositioning him, nobody would buy it. | ||
| We'd all say, absolutely no way we don't believe it. | ||
| Like, there's no evidence here. | ||
| It's literally just a cop said he tapped him with his foot. | ||
| If this happened today, then what he would have done is walked out of the bathroom, called a 10-year-old black kid the N-word, and raised enough money to fight this case all the way. | ||
| We live in very weird times. | ||
| It's 2025. | ||
| Who would have predicted? | ||
| Man, I can tell you all about the 90s. | ||
| But can you imagine, you know, the Gen Z kids that are like teenagers today? | ||
| Not the older 20s ones. | ||
| And then also the Gen Alpha that are younger growing up. | ||
| And they're going to be like, yeah, when I was a kid, dropping N-bombs on the internet made you a million dollars. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's crazy. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| It's a terrifying thing to say, but it's a good time to be a really bad person. | ||
| Yeah, well, I mean, the standards that... | ||
| But either whether Republican or Democrat, when it comes to the political arena, the standards have never been lower. | ||
| Has that Hinton guy's Give, Send, Go gotten any traction? | ||
| Because I saw that and I was... | ||
| Which guy? | ||
| Hinton? | ||
| Rodney Hinton Jr. | ||
| He ran over a sheriff's deputy a day after he saw the body cam that showed his son getting shot. | ||
| Go fund me nuked his fundraiser. | ||
| Yeah, but Give, Send, Go allows you to raise money for your current... | ||
| Ten grand. | ||
| Yeah, that's what I was... | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So what is this story? | ||
| It's his son, Ryan Hinton Jr. | ||
| They had body cam footage that was released of him being shot. | ||
| He was found in a stolen car with four other people. | ||
| They all flee as soon as the police show up. | ||
| He has a gun in his hand. | ||
| He stumbles and falls. | ||
| You can hear the gun hit the pavement. | ||
| Instead of leaving it, he picks it back up. | ||
| Everybody yells out, gun, gun, gun. | ||
| He became the main target of the officers. | ||
| Officer ends up shooting him dead. | ||
| Rodney Hinton Jr., the father of Ryan, sees the body cam footage for the Cincinnati Police Department because they show it to him with his lawyer. | ||
| He leaves that meeting. | ||
| And then sees a sheriff's deputy, completely different department, retired officer, directing traffic for the University of Cincinnati graduation. | ||
| And this is where things are alleged because he's not convicted. | ||
| And he decides to, according to the witnesses, square up his car, lined it up with the retired sheriff's deputy, and runs him down killing him. | ||
| And thank God there's not a ton of money for this, but there are people that are supporting him. | ||
| Hold on, hold on. | ||
| The dude's kid. | ||
| Was in a stolen car, had a gun, got shot by police, so he went and killed a random retired sheriff's deputy? | ||
| From a different department, yeah. | ||
| And people are saying, there's a lot of TikTokers that are saying that this is justice for the unjustified killing of his son, but if you look at the case, his son had the gun in his hand when the police shot him. | ||
| To say unjustified is ridiculous. | ||
| He had a gun. | ||
| He went to pick it up. | ||
| When the cops said, drop your gun, drop the gun, he didn't comply. | ||
| That will get you shot every single time. | ||
| He also ran between the dumpsters, like two dumpsters, so he was obscured when they knew he had the gun. | ||
| He comes out, the officer says, and the video's unclear at this point, to be fair. | ||
| He says that they were in a bladed position, but the gun was pointed at him, which means that it was pointed from the side that was away from the officer. | ||
| So it's like... | ||
| Your left shoulder, no gun, gun in the right hand, and this is what's facing the officer. | ||
| They shoot him, he gets hit twice, he dies. | ||
| And then this guy murders, allegedly, he hasn't been convicted yet, a completely different officer. | ||
| And then what's crazy is the story is this retired cop had a lot of friends because he was a cop for like 20-something years. | ||
| They show up to the court, like, in force, and they're like, look. | ||
| Those racist cops, they showed up to intimidate this black man. | ||
| It's wild. | ||
| We have a story here that GoFundMe nuked all fundraisers supporting an Ohio father accused of killing a sheriff's deputy after more than 20,000 members of the state law enforcement community complained. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| They say Hinton Jr. allegedly ran over and killed a Hamilton County sheriff's deputy a day after his teenage son was shot and killed by a Cincinnati police officer. | ||
| The younger Hinton stole a car, was shot and killed, while he and three others tried to evade police. | ||
| Jeez, man. | ||
| Look, man, when they tell you to drop the gun, you have to drop the gun. | ||
| Like, I've gone to a bunch of... | ||
| Like, handgun classes and stuff like that. | ||
| And one of the things that I've been, like, multiple times during the course of fire, over the course of a weekend, you'll be doing some exercise, and then the instructor will just, out of nowhere, just yell, police drop the gun, and everybody has to drop the gun. | ||
| Like, it's basically a drill, but the point is, if you hear that... | ||
| I know, especially considering the situation that you're supposed to be in as you're a private citizen using a gun lawfully to defend your life. | ||
| If the cops say, drop the gun, you have to drop it or you're going to get shot. | ||
| My favorite misrepresentation of this is that... | ||
| Oh, it's legal to open carry in Ohio. | ||
| That's dumb! | ||
| That has nothing to do with what we're talking about. | ||
| And again, God tried to help him drop the gun. | ||
| When he fell, it hit the ground. | ||
| He picked it back up. | ||
| That's a bad decision right there for Ryan Hinton. | ||
| And it ended up costing him his life, and now a sheriff's deputy is dead. | ||
| Again, allegedly by this person, confirmed by multiple witnesses at this moment in time. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it's... | ||
| The idea that people would defend this, defend the people that – or defend the man that ran down a cop from another – totally other department and stuff, it's absurd in the first place. | ||
| And it only – it points to the idea or the argument that racial relations in the U.S. are degrading. | ||
| And look, I'm going to – I'm obviously on the right. | ||
| But I definitely feel like the racial relations are degrading because of things like wokeness and because of the lab. | ||
| And to follow up on that, it's a sad state of affairs seeing a lot of these Give, Send, Go fundraisers. | ||
| For example, Luigi Mangione raising. | ||
| No, she had $730k. | ||
| What does that say about our state of affairs, of our racial dynamics going on in our country? | ||
| Take a look at the Carmelo Anthony fundraiser. | ||
| The response from many of these people was specifically black solidarity, not whether he was innocent or guilty. | ||
| But same with the... | ||
| Yes, but that's after the fact. | ||
| That's a crucial point, is that people aren't donating to Carmelo Anthony's fund because they think he's innocent. | ||
| They're doing it because they know he's guilty and they support him. | ||
| I play this clip repeatedly of the O.J. Simpson trial of the jurors that they interviewed, and they asked the juror how many people on the jury voted not guilty. | ||
| Based on revenge for Rodney King, because the evidence in the O.J. Simpson case is pretty overwhelming. | ||
| And the juror says, most of us. | ||
| And then he asked her specifically if she did, and she said yes. | ||
| Like, this is like those photos of the white people being upset at the guilty verdict and black people cheering for it. | ||
| So again, like, you know, you were saying they're defending it. | ||
| It's not really defending it. | ||
| It's they support it. | ||
| It's justified. | ||
| Like, these small section of people, whether they're misinformed or the activists on social media... | ||
| They support this kid. | ||
| They're in favor of what happened. | ||
| These people are turning into symbols for the worst things, and people are supporting them. | ||
| I'm still dwelling on the Luigi Mangione stuff, because I feel like he was not the original fundraiser for doing horrible things, but again, it's a concerning state of affairs where we're seeing vigilantes and I think racists and... | ||
| Racially charged crimes. | ||
| All on the left, though. | ||
| Mangione, they don't put up a criminal defense for him. | ||
| They don't say that the CEO is coming at him or anything of the sort. | ||
| They say they support him. | ||
| He shot this man in the back, walked up and double-tapped him on video, and they're pretending like, oh, well, United was a bad company, which a lot of people don't like United, I understand, but that has nothing to do with anything. | ||
| And he wasn't even a CEO for very long. | ||
| And by the way, no person got their claim reversed because of this guy getting killed. | ||
| There are people that question whether or not the shooter is actually Mangione, but that doesn't matter because they support the shooter. | ||
| The point is they endorse the behavior. | ||
| It doesn't matter if it was actually Luigi or not. | ||
| They question that because, if you remember, there's that photo of him where he's in the hostel in New York where he looks like Jake Gyllenhaal, and then when people saw him in different angles, they didn't think he was hot enough. | ||
| So that's why they were questioning, like, that's not this guy. | ||
| I don't get the same person. | ||
| When this story first came out... | ||
| And they showed the first public interest photos of Mangione. | ||
| I would say half the posts I saw were saying that's not the same guy. | ||
| And then all of a sudden they find Mangione in a McDonald's with an orgy of evidence. | ||
| Like out of a movie. | ||
| And some McDonald's employee was like, that's the guy. | ||
| I spotted him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm like, what? | |
| What do you mean you spotted him? | ||
| Bro, people don't recognize Brad Pitt when he walks down the street. | ||
| No, I get it. | ||
| Sometimes they do. | ||
| But you'd be surprised. | ||
| Go to California. | ||
| You walk around. | ||
| Celebrity walking on the street. | ||
| People are like, is that so-and-so? | ||
| It's hard to tell. | ||
| Because movies are all different. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| We'll see what happens. | ||
| But those first... | ||
| The first surveillance video that came out was a different coat with a different backpack, and the guy looked middle-aged. | ||
| Then they said, here's who we're looking for, and it was a different coat, different backpack, and a younger guy with bushy eyebrows. | ||
| And I'm like, that doesn't... | ||
| I was even saying, like, that's not the same guy. | ||
| That's a different picture of somebody... | ||
| I was assuming they were looking for a witness. | ||
| And then they're like, we were riding McDonald's, and he was there with all the evidence proving everything. | ||
| And I'm like... | ||
| By the way, I think with the weapon, too. | ||
| As I was driving in, I was listening to the press conference that Corral Anthony's PR representative, that Anthony guy, was having, and he was talking about booting the father from the press conference, and he was like, yeah, this guy was here in a place that he wasn't supposed to be, and we were worried that maybe he had a weapon on him or something, and that could have presented a danger to us, so obviously we weren't going to start the press conference until after he was removed. | ||
| This is the guy defending Carmelo Anthony. | ||
| Everything he said is completely applicable to the Carmelo Anthony case. | ||
| What's happening now is the Carmelo Anthony defense is raising money not because they think he's innocent. | ||
| They're saying they think he is. | ||
| But it's because... | ||
| Largely, not completely, but largely because he's black. | ||
| The posts on social media are saying it was a black kid being bullied by a white kid. | ||
| They're saying Austin Metcalf was six foot, was he 220 or something? | ||
| They put out different weights for him, so I don't know. | ||
| I think the official weight listed on the athlete's website, we pulled this up, we were debating it, was like six foot 200 or 220 or something like that. | ||
| And so the left is coming out saying this poor 130 pound black kid was being bullied by a six foot white kid and he was defending himself. | ||
| But most of the comments were just saying black solidarity. | ||
| They were saying black people got to stick together. | ||
| They don't care about the facts of the case. | ||
| They care about the racial identity. | ||
| Now what's happening with Shiloh Hendricks is the exact same thing. | ||
| But what's happening is a conservative. | ||
| So there are a lot of white identitarians that are donating to her. | ||
| But the conservative stances, they've created a circumstance where there's a moral outrage comparing saying a naughty word and murdering someone. | ||
| And this is playing into exactly why there are. | ||
| many conservatives cheering on Shiloh Hendricks. | ||
| They're saying outright, this proves that a racial slur is considered by these people worse than murdering a teenager. | ||
| To be fair, clearly, obviously, the racial epithet towards a child that fluctuates in age, depending on who's telling the story, is nowhere near the scale of murder. | ||
| I think we all agree on that. | ||
| We all understand that. | ||
| Did you finish your point? | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| But that still doesn't mean that you're... | ||
| The thing that bothers me about her is that, yes, she shouldn't be doxxed. | ||
| If you're going to give her some money to prevent her from having to stay in the same location where she could be in danger, I can understand that. | ||
| If you go to the Give, Send, Go description, she's doubling down. | ||
| She's like, I called him out for what he was. | ||
| So it's not like a moment of passion, a moment of anger, or something of the sort. | ||
| She's doubling it down. | ||
| And I hate to say it, and I said it in my video, and you're going to get dislikes just like I did. | ||
| But people are donating because they like that she called this little black kid the N-word. | ||
| And then she's doubling down on it. | ||
| It's not really that deep for some of these people. | ||
| I don't think most of the donations. | ||
| Not all, obviously. | ||
| I think most of it... | ||
| I'm sick of living in a world where minorities or non-white groups are allowed to insult white people based on race. | ||
| And what we're seeing in a lot of the comments, they're saying things like, white people don't get to go to certain schools. | ||
| There was a viral post getting shared from this from Reddit. | ||
| And it was a woman and she was like, looking for advice. | ||
| My son did everything right. | ||
| We worked really, really hard. | ||
| He's got a 4.0 GPA. | ||
| He does extracurriculars. | ||
| But he's being rejected by every single university. | ||
| And the top comment was, your son is white. | ||
| That went viral in response to the shallow thing. | ||
| It is people, you know, I was talking to Carl Benjamin about this, and he was like, this is a conversation that the anti-SJW groups were having a long time ago, that if you keep promoting identitarianism while attacking white people, you will create white identitarian groups. | ||
| It's exactly what they did. | ||
| I do want to grab one super chat that I think is funny, though, in this context. | ||
| Doug Dibidone says, Henry Cavill stood underneath the Superman ad in Times Square for two hours, and no one recognized him, let alone finding Luigi. | ||
| I'll also add another guy did the opposite. | ||
| There's a viral video from back in the day where he hired, like, 15 people with cameras to chase after him when he walked out of a building in Times Square. | ||
| So he walks out wearing sunglasses and a blazer, and then all these cameras run up and start taking pictures of him. | ||
| Crowds form, all trying to look and see who he is, and they're yelling at him, and they're asking for photos. | ||
| And he was making the point, like, celebrity is just a crowd reaction. | ||
| And then I've seen, there's been a bunch of times in my life where, for instance, I was outside of a supermarket and I saw, who did it? | ||
| Jake Gyllenhaal. | ||
| I literally saw Jake Gyllenhaal. | ||
| And nobody cared. | ||
| It's L.A. He was just walking in. | ||
| I was at a cafe in, where was this? | ||
| It was, what's the name of that place? | ||
| Abbey, what's it called in L.A.? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Abbey, Abbey Road. | ||
| No, no, I can't remember the name of the neighborhood. | ||
| But Toby McGuire was walking around. | ||
| Nobody cared. | ||
| Nobody said anything to him. | ||
| And so I'm like, you mean to tell me from this grainy photo in a McDonald's, some employee was like, that's that guy from the grainy photo in New York. | ||
| And the cops showed up and they got him. | ||
| There is one conspiracy theory I've heard that I think is also plausible, and it's that the U.S. government has a mass surveillance network that the American people don't realize, and the police need an excuse as to how they found him so quickly without saying it's because we got facial recognition, AI software, and every camera everywhere networked. | ||
| So the moment we got a hit, we found him like in the movies. | ||
| There is something to that. | ||
| There was a Supreme Court case on them finding these burglars that eluded them by tracking all the cell phone data in the area and using that to identify them. | ||
| And I believe the court ruled that that could be used for their case because it was a good faith effort, but it's not applicable going forward that they use those methods. | ||
| And by the way, one point about the donors to the Carmelo Anthony fundraiser, a lot of them are not in this camp where they're like, yes, get Whitey. | ||
| They've fallen for the disinformation in that particular case, too. | ||
| Because if you go online, first of all, five years later, people still think Kyle Rittenhouse drove across state lines and shot black people. | ||
| So it's not like the facts ever penetrate in certain areas of society. | ||
| But in that particular case, a lot of these people genuinely believe that two white kids who were bullying Carmelo Anthony for years jumped him, broke his phone, and all this other stuff that has been put out in Facebook reports and whatnot. | ||
| So those people are just dumb. | ||
| But yeah, there's like an overall sinister element hiding in the not-dumb people in both of these fundraisers. | ||
| Do you think racial tensions in our country are brewing? | ||
| Are they just being exposed as a result of social media? | ||
| Do you think they're being exacerbated as a result of social media? | ||
| I'm also concerned because I don't know if there's more, you know, white resentment brewing as a result of so many policies that seem to disappear. | ||
| Possessed whites over the past 50 to 100 years in our country between, you know, different DEI programs, different white people in our country essentially being told to be ashamed of our history and whatnot. | ||
| And it's just, having said all that, though, I mean, we did have segregation and slavery in our country. | ||
| So I don't know how much, you know, better or worse our relationships could have been, race relations could have been compared to that. | ||
| Look, in the US, we do have a unique context because of... | ||
| The Jim Crow and because of slavery and stuff like that. | ||
| But the fact that these ideas spread globally... | ||
| I think that it shows that there is a leftist push to have these narratives, to be the dominant narratives, because that gives people access to power. | ||
| I think there's something, too, about social media essentially allowing an Instamob to pop up for any reason immediately, for any cause in every which direction. | ||
| And again, I don't know if it exposes our racial divisions or further exacerbates the ones that are already there. | ||
| Because otherwise, you know... | ||
| Decades or centuries ago, these people would have been irrelevant unless the news wrote about them, and they would have been, you know, subheadedly gone. | ||
| Abbott Kinney. | ||
| Not Abby. | ||
| Abbott Kinney, that's the neighborhood in L.A. where there's a coffee shop in Toby Brezzer. | ||
| Abby is the gay bar in West Hollywood, which I've also been there, too. | ||
| Oh, I'm not. | ||
| Why? | ||
| It's like a hotspot for celebrities. | ||
| It's like, look, if you're going to L.A. Celebrities are all like, oh man, the Abbey. | ||
| And then they go to West Hollywood because they think they're cool and they're progressive. | ||
| And then you end up going with some friends. | ||
| And then you're not gay and you're like, this is kind of gay. | ||
| I don't know what I'm doing here. | ||
| But that's what happens when you live in a city. | ||
| I've been to lesbian bars too. | ||
| Did you feel weird? | ||
| Because I went to a gay bar in West Hollywood once and I realized that I was the least attractive dude there. | ||
| That's basically it. | ||
| Those gays in West Hollywood, they have almost like CGI muscles. | ||
| It's so ridiculous. | ||
| All the guys are basically just like... | ||
| They all look like the exact same thing, like 40-year-old ripped fitness instructors. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or like 70-year-old senators, I don't know, in bathrooms at the airport. | ||
| Finding out I was a gay two was probably the most disappointing moment of my entire life. | ||
| You're gay? | ||
| No, a gay two. | ||
| If I were to flip teams, I would be at the bottom of their top. | ||
| I thought you meant gay also. | ||
| That explains why you're at the bar. | ||
| Two out of ten. | ||
| Yeah, that's got it. | ||
| I am married to a lady. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We have this story from the Daily Mail. | ||
| Yo, this is a weird day. | ||
| No one believed Trump hotel shooter Jonathan Adi's bizarre Diddy claims until now. | ||
| I'm just going to tell you the story. | ||
| This guy John Adi went to Trump Doral with a gun and a flag, ranting about something to do with Obama, Trump, and Diddy. | ||
| Cops show up. | ||
| For some reason, he gets into a shootout with the cops. | ||
| He gets shot in the legs, arrested, and then he starts claiming he was a sex slave for Diddy. | ||
| And at the time, everyone's like, he's nuts. | ||
| Well, apparently now, they're releasing his NDA, which I think they have here in the Daily Mail. | ||
| It's been reported he had an NDA with Diddy, which backs up the claims that he was doing untoward things. | ||
| It also, here's the other claim this guy Johnny made, that Diddy's a cuck. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| Literally. | ||
| That this guy Adi was instructed to do things with, you know, Diddy's lady. | ||
| And then Diddy would watch. | ||
| Sounds like Diddy's... | ||
| And he would enjoy it. | ||
| A lot more than a cuck. | ||
| Seems like he's a lot of things. | ||
| Well, but, like, one of the things is cuck. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They say that, uh... | ||
| This 100% gives a lot of truth and legitimacy to everything he was speaking about, said Adi's former wife, Tanya Troutwine. | ||
| It definitely confirms the relationship and closeness between them. | ||
| Johnny was a smart guy and he would have picked up on things, and the fact that Diddy even signed an agreement with him and didn't just write him off tells me that Diddy had some level of respect for him. | ||
| This is so weird. | ||
| Yo, the Diddy trials started, and... | ||
| This is what we're learning. | ||
| He says that he had relations with Cassie Ventura, Sean Combs. | ||
| Basically, he would, and tell me what to do to Cassie. | ||
| I was like a sex slave. | ||
| That's... | ||
| This is what they're replacing the Epstein story with, the Diddy. | ||
| He's going to be the new... | ||
| Yeah, but apparently Diddy was Epstein for celebrities. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Epstein was politicians. | ||
| And they all worked for Mossad, apparently. | ||
| I read that in the chat. | ||
| I'm waiting for the Israel connection. | ||
| I'm sure his producer was Jewish. | ||
| I'm sure there were Jews involved. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, look. | ||
| There's plenty of Jews in the music industry, so there's plenty of blame to go around. | ||
| Was your manager Jewish? | ||
| My manager is Jewish. | ||
| My business manager is Jewish. | ||
| Guys that owned the label that I used to be on were Jewish, so I was surrounded by Jews. | ||
| So that means that I'm, of course, being paid. | ||
| Because the label was owned by Jews, I'm being paid by Jews. | ||
| You know what I would say to those Jews who managed your band? | ||
| Zet. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| For helping me learn about some great music. | ||
| I have thanked them multiple times. | ||
| This is obviously surprising because he went on to commit that much more serious crime, but it should not be... | ||
| Much more serious. | ||
| Well, I don't know. | ||
| Actually, Diddy's accused of a lot of crazy things, but he ended up committing a more serious crime after the fact. | ||
| But it shouldn't be that surprising because these are the types of people that criminals associate with. | ||
| Other criminals with sketchy records, this is how a lot of cases are built. | ||
| So the idea that him doing something bizarre later, like, you know, it's a shooting, but he also has, like, all these rants about all the people that he's connected to, like, it shouldn't be that disqualifying for his, like, his testimony, especially when we now have something to, like, kind of back this up. | ||
| This guy John Adi was saying that he was being stalked and followed by Diddy's people was the reason he went into the hotel ranting and raving is because he was being enslaved by Diddy and couldn't escape. | ||
| And so the only way for him to get safely away was to, you know, I don't know if he was trying to get into a shit with cops, but do something like going into Trump and saying, help me, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| And then it goes south or whatever. | ||
| But now we're only hearing about it because they took him in. | ||
| Well, now we have the NDA, too. | ||
| I would like to see how the NDA looks, but... | ||
| Yeah, let me see if I can find it. | ||
| Because apparently they released it, I think. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| 15 hours ago, is this the story? | ||
| Oh, they locked it? | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Yeah, they don't want anyone to see it. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| I bet I can just click images and it'll pop up. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| Got it. | ||
| That's so true. | ||
| His lawyer's probably Jewish. | ||
| They locked the story, but if you go on Google, it pops right up. | ||
| My lawyer's not Jewish. | ||
| He's not. | ||
| He's not. | ||
| He's like a seven-foot Scandinavian. | ||
| You need a better lawyer. | ||
| I'm trying to make sure there's nothing. | ||
| Okay, they blurred it. | ||
| Yeah, here we go. | ||
| Confidential settlement agreement. | ||
| Jonathan Adi and Sean Combs. | ||
| Let's see, sworn to and subscribed before me on this day, July 2014. | ||
| And then the signature is blurred. | ||
| The notary is blurred. | ||
| And, yeah, I don't know. | ||
| They claim this is it. | ||
| A confidential settlement agreement. | ||
| If this was admitted into evidence, presumably it would be authenticated. | ||
| There are rare instances where something gets admitted that's not authenticated. | ||
| And blurring the notary number is very good because that's just a random person that they got to notarize this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And that number is easily looked up. | ||
| The wife is a notary. | ||
| But this is confidential settlement agreement. | ||
| For like $5 million. | ||
| I don't know if it still proves that Diddy did anything. | ||
| It's a lot of money for a random guy. | ||
| Remember when Bill O 'Reilly was in trouble and they released the numbers for his settlements? | ||
| He was getting paid $31 million a year from Fox, but they settled one case for $32 million. | ||
| That's a little... | ||
| I'm not saying... | ||
| He didn't admit fault, but $32 million is a lot of money to get somebody that you didn't do something to. | ||
| I don't think it has the number on here, but they were claiming $5 million. | ||
| And their evidence of this is that this dude, John Addy, apparently was broke. | ||
| And then shortly after this date, he bought five properties that were each like a million bucks. | ||
| Just like a lottery winner. | ||
| Yeah, and he divorced his wife right away. | ||
| And she said she thought it was because he was going to pay him this money and he didn't want to give it to her. | ||
| He didn't want to split it with her. | ||
| That's depressing to me because $5 million, you should never go broke ever. | ||
| Just invest it. | ||
| Regular index funds. | ||
| You could live off the dividends. | ||
| You'd be fine. | ||
| Average return of 8% a year. | ||
| That's $400,000 to live off of. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Smuck. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| It's possible. | ||
| Maybe 10 years ago, but the rate of inflation, the cost of property, property taxes, I don't know, man. | ||
| He doesn't need to be buying all these properties. | ||
| That I get. | ||
| You could take $5 million and probably set up a retirement fund and then live on a budget for sure. | ||
| You should just keep working. | ||
| Yeah, but I'm saying if your options are buy a bunch of properties and end up doing a shooting in a Trump hotel, or try living off the dividends of regular ordinary investments and index funds. | ||
| Depends on the interest rates, I guess. | ||
| I do think that you should always skip. | ||
| Doing a shooting at Trump Hotel. | ||
| Imagine if instead he just bought Bitcoin in 2014 with $5 million. | ||
| I mean, people say, oh man, if only I could go back to 2013, 2014, buy Bitcoin. | ||
| It's like, why don't you just go back to 2013? | ||
| 2009, when you could literally just mine it on your laptop before it was worth anything. | ||
| Actually, I was reading something the other day. | ||
| You could buy a thousand Bitcoin for a dollar in 2010. | ||
| The first transaction on Bitcoin, I believe, was a pizza, which is about $20, 10,000 Bitcoin. | ||
| 10,000 Bitcoin for this Bitcoin pizza day. | ||
| I believe it's May 22nd. | ||
| No, it was in October because they started running Bitcoin in January, and within the first year, it actually turned into a currency. | ||
| I think if people did buy back then, they would have sold at $200. | ||
| If they would have bought at $200, they would have sold at $1,000. | ||
| Some people did, yeah. | ||
| But remember, if you bought 10,000 of them, and then you sell half of them at... | ||
| Whatever, $200, you're like, oh wow, but maybe there were people, I imagine there were people that still had some left. | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| What a weird day. | ||
| Like all these stories coming out just right now. | ||
| Yeah, the very end of the day. | ||
| You know, Bannon was saying, I think it was Bannon who said that by midsummer we should expect to see some arrests, like Trump administration, corruption arrests, do you think that's going to happen? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Like, we got to see how these cases break out. | ||
| Like, I just hope everything is, you know, I's dotted, T's crossed if they're going to do something like that. | ||
| But, like, I'm still, you know, first Trump administration did not prosecute these people. | ||
| Maybe they learned their lesson. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| I would want to see how the Letitia James case... | ||
| I think people like Kash Patel are the type of people who may end up going after some of these peoples, but I'm not extremely hopeful, all things considered. | ||
| The first administration, I don't think the people who Trump brought on would be the type who'd go for retribution, but I forget what the Kash Patel quote is, that everybody in the media keeps fear-mongering on him in regard to. | ||
| The charging decisions will be made by the Department of Justice, so Kash Patel can be Kash Patel. | ||
| But, like, you know, I still think it's ultimately Pam Bondi. | ||
| And then whoever would be Attorney General if she were to leave for whatever reason. | ||
| You know, it's only been a few months. | ||
| I'd like to see some sign of action. | ||
| But I'll be, you know, I give Cash and Dan every benefit of the doubt. | ||
| Because there's no way Dan Bongino left his lucrative life to go and accomplish nothing. | ||
| He's going to get the job done. | ||
| He's going to get something done. | ||
| Yeah, that's actually a fairly strong argument. | ||
| He's not going to just go into government just to go into government and sit around and do nothing. | ||
| Give up tens of millions of dollars for the next four years to do nothing? | ||
| Listen to the content that he talks about on or that he used to talk about on his podcast. | ||
| He really does believe the stuff that he's talking about. | ||
| And I think that him going to the FBI is him putting his money where his mouth is. | ||
| Well, let's jump to this next story from Postmillennial. | ||
| Statue of overweight black woman inspired by Michelangelo's David erected in Times Square to celebrate diversity. | ||
| You know, I was just asking myself the other day, when are we going to get a statue of an overweight black woman in Times Square? | ||
| And then they did it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that Sargon? | |
| Carl, what are you doing? | ||
| Celebrating. | ||
| I think liberals are insane. | ||
| What about you? | ||
| Yeah, I think this is insanity. | ||
| And in my city, ridiculous, absurd. | ||
| But I do have a question. | ||
| Has anybody here seen the David, like, in person? | ||
| The David? | ||
| Where's the actual statue? | ||
|
unidentified
|
In Italy or whatever? | |
| It's in Florence in the museum. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anybody? | |
| No. | ||
| But you've seen images of it, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, seen images of the David my whole entire life. | ||
| You see it in pop culture, all that. | ||
| I saw it in person in Florence. | ||
| It's unbelievable. | ||
| I actually shot a video of people coming in and their reaction. | ||
| Like, there's just something about it in person that is... | ||
| And there's replicas of the David in Florence that don't capture it. | ||
| It's something you have to go see in person to understand it. | ||
| It is beautiful. | ||
| It is breathtaking. | ||
| And I have a weird feeling that this bronze statue of a black woman in a t-shirt is nowhere near comparable when you see it in person. | ||
| You know, I think you're probably right. | ||
| I think that it's likely to end up with too much pigeon poo on top of it for it to actually be. | ||
| You know, held up there with Michelangelo's sculpture. | ||
| I'd like to show you this marble statue that I would elect to be placed in Times Square instead. | ||
| This is the release from Deception. | ||
| And is there a better way to get it? | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| This is marble. | ||
| Look at the net. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That is insane. | |
| Absolutely insane. | ||
| I would also elect to place the Venus de Milo in Times Square instead of a bronze statue of a morbidly obese black woman. | ||
| It's an omen to the Democrat Party. | ||
| That is their average voter. | ||
| If not their average voter, their core base. | ||
| I think something like 80% of black women end up voting for Democrats. | ||
| So it's an omen to them. | ||
| I do want to say this. | ||
| I respect the craftsmanship. | ||
| I don't know how to make a bronze statue. | ||
| And, you know, there's like shirt folds and stuff. | ||
| That is an obese black woman. | ||
| That is a good statue. | ||
| I mean, the David was carved by hand. | ||
| It's a masterpiece. | ||
| This is like every other bronze statue, I feel like. | ||
| How do you make a bronze statue? | ||
| In terms of level of effort. | ||
| I honestly don't know. | ||
| But this is like the girl, we were talking about it earlier, that they put in front of the Wall Street bull. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Where they're like, it's such a powerful symbol. | ||
| I'm like, no, it's not. | ||
| It's not. | ||
| It's a 15 foot tall statue of like an angry black woman. | ||
| Like, this is like an ode. | ||
| They should put this in front of the DMV, honestly. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| But no, you're right. | ||
| I honestly, I welcome this. | ||
| Liberals, please. | ||
| I welcome you to put a giant 12-foot statue of a black woman, but just have a statue symbolizing excellence. | ||
| Like, and I mean this in all sincerity, Serena Williams, a world-renowned athlete, super accomplished, cherished for her incredible abilities, and already a celebrity. | ||
| If they put up a statue of her in Times Square... | ||
| I wouldn't bat an eye at it. | ||
| I'd be like, yeah, she's a world-renowned athlete and celebrity. | ||
| That's not surprising. | ||
| If they put up a statue of Oprah, I'd be like, well, yeah, I totally get that. | ||
| That's a billionaire woman who's one of the most watched people on the planet. | ||
| I totally get it. | ||
| This is just woke, right? | ||
| It's like, we're going to make a statue of mendacity, of mediocrity. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| I think the George Floyd statues are nicer, honestly, where he's sitting in the bench. | ||
| This is not impressive. | ||
| Well, I mean, the statue itself is of just the most mundane human that you could come up with. | ||
| It's just a woman wearing a regular T-shirt and jeans. | ||
| Totally mundane. | ||
| I figured it out. | ||
| What if this isn't a black woman and it's actually a white woman, but they use bronze? | ||
| It's still mundane and boring and dumb. | ||
| Yeah, right. | ||
| I don't care about the race of the statue. | ||
| I'm concerned about the mundaneity. | ||
| I have an idea. | ||
| We need to make a bronze statue of an obese white man and just drop it off and put it right next to it. | ||
| And just be like, it's diversity, you know? | ||
| And then we'll get an obese Arabic, you know, Muslim guy, and we can get a morbidly obese Japanese guy. | ||
| You don't really see a whole lot of that. | ||
| Sumo. | ||
| Sumo, for sure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I mean, this is just like, we talked about it earlier, you know, it's just like the ridiculousness of the girl standing in front of the bull. | ||
| The point of the bull is like, oh, this is the market, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| What's the point of the girl? | ||
| I'm a girl and I'm standing in front of the bull. | ||
| Look at me. | ||
| What's the point of that? | ||
| It's just ridiculous. | ||
| I mean, they're going to have a committee with that girl where it was only supposed to be there for a month and they're going to vote to leave it there forever because it's so powerful. | ||
| And then this will probably, like that girl, become a cultural flashpoint where people go put MAGA hats on it, they dress up the woman, and then people get angry at it. | ||
| So this is just another thing to fight over. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, who's the artist that sculpted it? | ||
| I'm sure that they had some kind of dedication or some kind of... | ||
| Yeah, something. | ||
| I'll say this. | ||
| First and foremost, the most important thing is I don't care what people do. | ||
| They can do whatever they want on their own time and own dime. | ||
| If somebody wants to make a statue of a frail little white girl in front of a bull, by all means, you can do that. | ||
| If you want to make a statue of an obese black woman and put it up in Times Square, that's fine. | ||
| You do your thing with your money. | ||
| My concern is largely, as a society and a culture, we have been tearing down statues of historical figures. | ||
| And then the cultural highlights are the mundane, not the great. | ||
| I'd rather see a statue of Spider-Man. | ||
| Everybody likes Spider-Man. | ||
| I like Spider-Man. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| And the Miles Morales one. | ||
| That way you get some diversity. | ||
| Yeah, there you go. | ||
| Everybody likes Spider-Man. | ||
| And he can electrocute people, I think. | ||
| Can he? | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| He's a taser thing, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, Miles Morales Spider-Man can turn invisible and electrocute you. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Because I think at some point they were like, what else can a spider do? | ||
| And they're like, this spider can shock you. | ||
| And they're like, let's give him electric powers, I guess. | ||
| Sick. | ||
| I mean, at least it's in Times Square, which is like where the tourists go. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But if you're, like, a New Yorker like I am, it's, like, the worst place to be on planet Earth. | ||
| So, like, you know, I'm not going to have to deal with this statue. | ||
| Yeah, like, what would someone that's actually from New York be doing in Times Square? | ||
| You have a friend that visits. | ||
| They insist that you go there. | ||
| You're like, here you go. | ||
| I've had pizza with friends. | ||
| Let's go see the statue. | ||
| While some addict is, like, sprawled out, like, rolling around in the garbage there. | ||
| And I'm like, yeah, the lights, it is nice. | ||
| The lights are beautiful and all that. | ||
| But, like... | ||
| Some of the people were... | ||
| But they're opening a Caesars in Times Square. | ||
| You hear about that? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Caesars Palace? | ||
| We're going to be a casino. | ||
| Caesars Casino. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Old people go there to go to the Broadway shows. | ||
| That's what's going on there. | ||
| All the theaters are dotted throughout Times Square. | ||
| None of this matters, okay, because old people are dying and no one's having babies. | ||
| New York is a dying city. | ||
| 18% of the children under age 5 have fled the city, like their families, yeah. | ||
| Like, it is a wild thing what's happening in American cities with youth. | ||
| And it's not just New York. | ||
| It's a bunch of left-wing cities that are losing their under-five population. | ||
| And we've been talking about this nonstop for two weeks, but there's only 40 million Gen Alpha right now. | ||
| And so, depending on the numbers, the years you used to end it, it's going to be between like 42 and 48 million. | ||
| Whereas, every other generation is about 70 million. | ||
| Super low. | ||
| People don't understand, in New York, you need to maintain these skyscrapers. | ||
| So what are we going to do when everyone leaves? | ||
| There's going to be decaying skyscrapers. | ||
| You're going to be walking down the street and a window is going to fall from a building because it's just not being maintained and just onto the ground. | ||
| A lot of these bigger buildings are already struggling too because they have so much commercial space that they can't fill following the pandemic and like office space just the demand isn't there that used to be there in New York City. | ||
| Do you guys know about the Tower of David in Venezuela? | ||
| Skyscraper that they built. | ||
| And then never completed. | ||
| Abandoned it because, you know, communists. | ||
| And then there's no working elevators, but it's like 100 stories. | ||
| So people just squatted in it. | ||
| And you can go up, like, I think 12 stories because there's a parking garage. | ||
| And people hire motorcycles to ride them up 12. And then they have to walk up. | ||
| You know, 70 flights of stairs to get to their apartment where you walk out of this platform and there's no windows. | ||
| It's just exposed, looking over the edge, you know, several hundred feet. | ||
| And then they laid bricks. | ||
| That's what's going to happen in places like New York. | ||
| California, it's happened. | ||
| There's that. | ||
| There's that skyscraper that they were building. | ||
| It was by a Chinese company. | ||
| He ended up getting indicted for fraud in China. | ||
| And it's just premium real estate. | ||
| Nobody could take over this project. | ||
| Covered in graffiti. | ||
| And there's no solution to it in the state of California. | ||
| Disgusting. | ||
| The Tower of David. | ||
| Torre de David. | ||
| How big is it? | ||
| They said the main investor died from cancer in 1993. | ||
| The banking crisis in 94, the government took out to control the building, and it's not been completed since. | ||
| It's 171 meters tall. | ||
| 45 stories. | ||
| Okay, not 100. | ||
| I was wrong. | ||
| 45. 12 floors of parking. | ||
| So you ride up, and then you gotta walk, and look. | ||
| See how they put bricks? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They built brick walls. | ||
| They had to carry all those bricks up. | ||
| Yo, that's crazy. | ||
| Chavez Viva. | ||
| That is wild. | ||
| And the thing is, 45 stories compared to 100 doesn't sound like a lot, but that's the tallest building in maybe 30 U.S. states. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Just abandoned. | ||
| I mean, it's Venezuela, so it's not that surprising there. | ||
| I mean, you've seen the Chinese cities where it's made with cheap concrete and people would just go with a little bottle opener and they'll pull apart the whole building structure. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah, it's all crumbling. | ||
| They're able to pull it out with their hands, like the rebar and all that. | ||
| Yeah, they call it tofu drag. | ||
| They literally use tofu products and stuff like that inside of the rebar to make the cement and stuff. | ||
| It's crazy, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Geez. | ||
| Well, let's jump to this next story. | ||
| We got this from the Postmillennial. | ||
| Salt Lake City City Council. | ||
| Salt Lake City Council votes to make LGBTQ pride flags official city flags in defiance of state law. | ||
| How is it that these, like, areas that you'd expect to be largely conservative and religious are woke as a joke? | ||
| I have no idea, but it blows my mind. | ||
| Frederick, Maryland, which is like 30 minutes from here, they fly a communist flag. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| On their city hall. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, the Pride Progress one. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Well, all right. | ||
| It's a communist flag. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, it's got a black and brown stripe that ain't representing anything else other than this weird cult. | ||
| Yeah, totally. | ||
| Race communism. | ||
| I didn't see it. | ||
| I did stop in that town to get up. | ||
| I mean, I haven't been there in a few weeks, but yeah, on their city hall, it's crazy. | ||
| No, I wish I would have known to look for it. | ||
| But yeah, this seems like completely gay to me, honestly. | ||
| Like, if I had to describe this... | ||
| It was the intention. | ||
| They said, in order to circumvent this law, Salt Lake City Council unanimously passed an ordinance Tuesday to make several versions of LGBTQ pride flags, official city flags, in response to a new Utah law that prohibits such flags from being displayed in government-sanctioned spaces, which took effect on Wednesday. | ||
| This is a cult. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is what cults do. | ||
| Jeez. | ||
| Absolutely cult. | ||
| But, I mean, that's something that we talked about, you know, for a while on this. | ||
| On the show, you know, it's like the way that they excommunicate people for stepping out of line, the way that they try to separate people from their family and, you know, particularly the LGBT groups, they tell people to go no contact with their family if they don't endorse whatever silly idea they've come up with for their, you know, sexuality or whatever. | ||
| So to call it a cult is probably the most accurate, you know, the most accurate description we have. | ||
| Yeah, and I mean, I guess the response from the state is that they're going to now say what counts as a city flag, and they're going to have to do this whole back and forth. | ||
| It's just ridiculous. | ||
| We should... | ||
| deflying the American flag, the state flag, and not any of these alternative flags, regardless of your beliefs or whatever, at our official buildings. | ||
| This is not a huge deal. | ||
| And I remember when the story first dropped, they were like, oh, it allows you to fly the Nazi flag, but not the pride flags, because it had a historical exemption for teaching history. | ||
| That was specific. | ||
| The reaction to this, it's about having cultural dominance. | ||
| It's like in the biggest city in Utah, a solid red state, You will see our flag on your city hall. | ||
| Like, if you pass a law against it, we will defy you because this is about, like, taking control of these spaces. | ||
| And I do... | ||
| It does surprise me that the Mormons just allow this, you know, considering how there's such a heavy Mormon presence in Salt Lake. | ||
| But, like, the fact that... | ||
| Trying to give me an answer? | ||
| No, it looked like you were going for your mic. | ||
| This seems like a... | ||
| Serge, go ahead. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| Oh, that's cool. | ||
| Are you sure? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| This seems like a whimpering virtue signal from an honestly dying ideology. | ||
| I think across the country that we're seeing more and more people on a grassroots level and then policymakers and even up into the level of businesses really push back against this LGBTQIA ideology. | ||
| Just wait for it. | ||
| Just wait to see what Pride Month looks like this year and how many fewer corporate sponsors are at any of these marches. | ||
| Even last year, it was very muted compared to previous years. | ||
| Sure, but I think it's dwindling even more so than that. | ||
| All these companies are being stripped away of their DEI, different initiatives, and so it's exciting to see. | ||
| And again, I think this is a failing ideology to fight for that we're seeing in some... | ||
| You know, urban areas of the country, but, you know, there's still a dying ideology and their virtue signaling. | ||
| I kind of agree. | ||
| I mean, me and Andrew are watching a lot of stuff from Seattle, and, like, the number of people doing it is, like, a far cry from what it previously was in, like, 2020 and the Summer of Love. | ||
| It's, like, what, 50 people? | ||
| It just used to be a lot more. | ||
| You gotta understand, it's been five years since the Summer of Love riots, and those 23-, 24-year-olds are now in their late 20s and during their 30s. | ||
| And they're not focused on the stuff anymore. | ||
| They're wondering why they can't own homes. | ||
| And so they're growing up. | ||
| And there's no young people to replace these far-left lunatics. | ||
| Not just because there's no babies, but because liberals don't have any and conservatives do. | ||
| So these younger generation is largely conservative. | ||
| But it is scary that almost none of those people were held accountable. | ||
| And those are the people that are attacking Teslas right now. | ||
| So they are still around. | ||
| Some of these people never grew up and got jobs. | ||
| But yeah, I will say I'm not expecting Pride to be maybe lesser. | ||
| It will probably in certain areas that are going to double, triple down on the gays. | ||
| It will be bigger there. | ||
| But as an overall thing, it's going to be a lesser thing. | ||
| But this is like a perfect... | ||
| The gays and the transes. | ||
| Yeah, this is like a perfect lesson in quitting while you're ahead. | ||
| The gays had everything. | ||
| They did. | ||
| They were good in the clear. | ||
| They were on TV. | ||
| Every single police chief had a husband in every single show. | ||
| And they would say they would have regular ordinary dialogue and they're like, oh no, my husband's calling me. | ||
| That's how they would do it. | ||
| But they just kept pushing, kept pushing. | ||
| They added this trans stuff to it. | ||
| The tea really took them off. | ||
| And now we're seeing it all being clawed back. | ||
| And by the way, this has happened in other countries where you start seeing it really get clawed back. | ||
| We're at a normal point of like, alright, try to trim the excesses. | ||
| But if they keep pushing, it might go back to what they would call the bad old days. | ||
| Well, the trans issue is really largely what did it. | ||
| The way that the far left behaves about trans people. | ||
| Your average lesbian is, and I've said this a million times, your average lesbian is not going to... | ||
| Who is accepted by society is not going to accept the idea that they have to have sex with a person with a penis or else they're a bigot. | ||
| Men are not going to accept, straight men are not going to accept the idea that they have to have sex with, you know, except trans women have sex with a man with a penis that's calling themselves a woman or else they're a bigot. | ||
| Like, that is just not going to fly in any society. | ||
| The fact that it's forced on people by the trans community as well. | ||
| Yeah, I think this makes me question if the Founding Fathers thought ahead or if this is the natural ebb and flow of any society. | ||
| The result of things like this is an authoritarian backlash. | ||
| A lot of people have predicted this. | ||
| The ideologies and axes of liberalism result in social decay or behavioral sync, as we'd call it. | ||
| And now you've got a rising faction of people demanding authoritarianism. | ||
| Not totalitarianism, but an authoritarian-style government that shuts them down and says, you can't put weird cult symbols as your city's flag. | ||
| That would violate the First Amendment. | ||
| They're allowed to do it. | ||
| The problem is these people are cultists. | ||
| They are deranged, violent, and psychotic. | ||
| I'm curious if the founding fathers had considered a reality in which a large portion of the American population became literally insane, believing 2 plus 2 equals 5, amputating the genitals of children. | ||
| I'm curious, like if you went to the founding fathers and said, here's what you will get with the rules you have laid out, and you showed them these things. | ||
| Do you think they'd still say, no, but we think it's the right thing to do? | ||
| I think they did consider it. | ||
| That's why. | ||
| And by the way, I'm not one of these guys that's like repealed the 19th or whatever. | ||
| But that's why they limited the franchise. | ||
| Like you had to own property. | ||
| Like you had to be shown to be competent in other areas before you were even able to vote. | ||
| So like they did see that. | ||
| But over time, like, you know, we have a lowest common denominator culture. | ||
| And that's... | ||
| I think the quote from Franklin was religious and moral people is who the Constitution is for. | ||
| And these people are... | ||
| But not only that, there's a lot of things that the founders based our government and our government structures on, was based on a lot of things in Rome. | ||
| So they were aware of the rise and fall of Rome. | ||
| They knew about the exces of Rome. | ||
| They knew about the things that helped tear the Roman Empire down and then the society down. | ||
| So I don't think that they were unaware, and I think that, Sean, you made a great point. | ||
| John Adams, rather. | ||
| I think, Sean, you made a great point that the reason they limited the franchise was because they saw what happened when Rome enfranchised all the people. | ||
| Like, when everybody could vote and started taxing everybody, that was one of the... | ||
| I think one of the most fascinating things about this issue at this point in time is the political aspects of it. | ||
| And that is that I think the Democrats are starting to realize it's a losing issue. | ||
| And that's why many Democrats are pushing back less and less against Donald Trump when he brings out different executive orders that people would say is like equivalent to a transgenocide or what have you. | ||
| Right now, Trump's come out with his ban against trans people in the military, ban against trans people in women's sports. | ||
| I'd like to see him go even further because... | ||
| He knows the more he harps on this issue, the Democrats struggle to defend it, and the progressives in the party still will. | ||
| This is Trump's probably most popular issue that he has. | ||
| This is probably an 80-20 issue for Donald Trump. | ||
| I can't think of a more popular issue that he has on... | ||
| This is second to the border. | ||
| I think even for moderates, though, I think this is more appealing than even immigration. | ||
| But one last point on this. | ||
| I would really like to see the Trump administration go a little bit further and hold different doctors responsible for what I believe is medical malpractice if they misdiagnose somebody who, within a certain amount of time, comes to immediately regret the decision, which I know multiple... | ||
| D transitioners personally have went through. | ||
| Right now, there's no role or responsibility after the fact for a lot of these doctors. | ||
| And I think if there was some consequences for this medical malpractice, insurance rates will change. | ||
| The doctor's willingness to so easily go ahead with these procedures would change. | ||
| And I think change some of the dynamics in an important manner. | ||
| The doctors that do these... | ||
| These procedures, they should be liable if the person decides after the fact that they don't want it. | ||
| Particularly for minors, too. | ||
| Particularly for minors. | ||
| For anyone, because these doctors know that you can't make a man into a woman. | ||
| Like, you can't make a woman into a man. | ||
| So the fact that they do these procedures, they're doing them knowing that the results the people are going to get are never going to actually be the results that they're hoping for. | ||
| So if they say, no, you know, hey, look, you didn't actually protect me. | ||
| You did harm to me. | ||
| They should be liable. | ||
| I think there's a different level of protection and agency people have as they grow older. | ||
| And that's why I think there needs to be a different set of rules. | ||
| You're allowed to do things as an adult, even things I would like. | ||
| Doctors have a responsibility to not hurt you. | ||
| If you went to a doctor and said, cut my arm off, it's not my arm. | ||
| It's a different threshold, I believe. | ||
| But I have a more important point, because they're not backing off of this, and people really need to listen to what they're doing, because it's like a little judo move. | ||
| Because what they say is like, oh, this isn't the most important issue. | ||
| And you hear a lot of this from the online left that's supposedly focusing on economic issues, like Marxist stuff in terms of... | ||
| But when you push them on it, they're like, oh, why are you talking about this? | ||
| This doesn't affect that many people. | ||
| This is not an important issue. | ||
| But when you push past all of that, you find out they're in favor of it. | ||
| They want to trans the kids. | ||
| So these people are not backing off. | ||
| They're trying to make you the weirdo for talking about it. | ||
| And that tactic not working is the only reason we're seeing victories on this particular issue. | ||
| Because this has been their strategy the whole time. | ||
| Call you weird. | ||
| Call you a creep. | ||
| And to your point, there are pharmaceutical companies that also try to incentivize this kind of stuff because if you get someone to have a procedure, they have a customer for life. | ||
| There are medications that you will be on for the rest of your life. | ||
| So if a doctor does this and the person says, you know what, I've changed my mind and I feel like you should have tried to talk me out of it, they should absolutely be liable. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| There's no part of me that's like, even hymns and haws about that. | ||
| They are responsible for taking care of people. | ||
| What they should be doing is saying, you need to go see a therapist. | ||
| Like, if you go to a doctor and say, chop my stuff off, the doctor should say, hold on here. | ||
| I'm going to refer you to a psychologist because you're absolutely crazy. | ||
| But then the therapist will affirm, yes, that's a good idea. | ||
| That's a good solution. | ||
| That person should go to jail. | ||
| Sean, do you think moderate... | ||
| Or, let's say, even the right-wing Democrats support this type of gender ideology stuff? | ||
| Because, if anything, I believe they don't actually, but are dragged to it by the progressives in their party, and forcing them to own it, I think, is where the political advantage comes from. | ||
| Are we talking about the voters, or are we talking about the... | ||
| Both voters and politicians, because I think there's a part of the Democrat Party, the more centrist, right-wing part, that still does exist in some small part. | ||
| There were a couple of congressmen, I believe, who after the election came out and... | ||
| I think politicians are largely not ideologically based, and they kind of go with the flow. | ||
| And the flow isn't necessarily the general population. | ||
| It's the leaders in the culture. | ||
| There's a lot of transgender people in Hollywood. | ||
| The reason that matters is because they're a huge donor to the Democratic Party. | ||
| But Gavin Newsom is in favor of this stuff. | ||
| He can go on Charlie Kirk and say, whoa, this is ridiculous. | ||
| Who uses Latinx? | ||
| I don't use that. | ||
| But then all of his literature shows him using it. | ||
| He signs a law. | ||
| That protects teachers if they hide this condition from you. | ||
| And again, with the suicide rate associated with transgenderism and the fact that if you hit depression with a much lower suicide rate, you would be fired and possibly charged with child abuse. | ||
| The fact that you can hide this from the parents is insane. | ||
| Newsom's in favor of that. | ||
| Don't buy into him being a moderate now. | ||
| Simple math. | ||
| Desistance rates. | ||
| Desistance is when a child simply stops being trans. | ||
| It's between 65 and 90 percent, given the actual academic literature. | ||
| Suicidality is around 47 percent for trans people. | ||
| This means that there is a greater chance the child will not be trans and not be suicidal, and thus you are substantially increasing the risk of suicide by providing transgender treatments to children. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Jail them. | ||
| Put them in jail for this because this is all lying to the kids. | ||
| Okay, but, you know, sure. | ||
| The problem is they vote for it. | ||
| How do we function as a society when you have psychotic, deranged people marching around saying 2 plus 2 equals 5? | ||
| I mean, they might as well... | ||
| Look, the easiest way to explain that the liberal worldview is failed is 2 plus 2 equals 5. As a standard statement. | ||
| Going around asserting that as if it's a fact. | ||
| There is no logic. | ||
| Imagine what happens when you then bring, you expound upon that into government. | ||
| You're sitting in a room and you're like, we have a wave of criminals that have crossed the southern border and they are raping and murdering people. | ||
| I say we deport them. | ||
| The liberals then, applying their fractured, failed logic, goes, I know. | ||
| One way we can stop the crime is to give them money and housing. | ||
| And you go, wait. | ||
| How will that stop the crime? | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| Giving housing and money to criminal narco gang members will stop them from raping people. | ||
| And then they vote for it. | ||
| And then they do it. | ||
| And then you get more rape. | ||
| It's called arresting poverty, or deporting poverty in this case, where the real problem in criminality is the fact that people are just poor. | ||
| And you used the perfect example that cuts to the heart of that, that I always use, which is rape. | ||
| People are not raping because they're broke. | ||
| That is not a thing that happens. | ||
| AOC said that they're shooting each other in New York because they want bread. | ||
| So true. | ||
| They're all trying to get bread. | ||
| They're trying to get bread, if you know what I mean. | ||
| San Francisco was trying to do a policy like that where they were trying to pay people to not commit murder. | ||
| Yeah, it's a root cause fallacy, the idea that the best way to address something is to do it by the root cause. | ||
| And even if poverty was the underlying root cause and that was properly identified, that does not mean that the most efficient way to address criminality is to do that. | ||
| I mean, the Great Society programs, all these welfare programs from the 60s, they tried to reduce poverty through government handouts. | ||
| We had the greatest crime wave in American history immediately after their passage. | ||
| And they only ended in the mid-90s when we did welfare reform and the crime bill. | ||
| So we went the exact opposite direction. | ||
| Greatest crime drop in history. | ||
| So yeah. | ||
| You got a pipe burst in your basement. | ||
| And you call a liberal plumber and a conservative plumber. | ||
| Conservative plumber comes down and goes, there's water leaking out of that pipe into your basement. | ||
| Shut the water off. | ||
| And we go, makes sense. | ||
| The liberal goes, what if we boil the water and turn the heat way up? | ||
| And you're like, well, that will just put hot water in my basement. | ||
| They go... | ||
| But some of it will evaporate. | ||
| They just go, nope. | ||
| Two plus two equals five. | ||
| Illogical solutions to problems. | ||
| We voted for it. | ||
| It's going to keep happening. | ||
| That will heat the home, and it will be more efficient than carbon. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| No, if we heat the water, hot water evaporates, so the water will stop. | ||
| And you'll be like, but it'll just keep flowing into my basement. | ||
| Nope, it'll evaporate. | ||
| Two plus two equals five. | ||
| And they stand by it. | ||
| They stand by it. | ||

Why? | |
| You get to call into our Uncensored show and take part in our Culture War Live series. | ||
| I believe the next one we're planning is going to be about one month. | ||
| And we're hoping to actually plan out, I think, like six events is the strategy. | ||
| And so they're going to be about one month apart. | ||
| But we are going to try and condense them. | ||
| I'd get them more frequent. | ||
| So as a member, we just filmed The Culture War live on Saturday, and we encouraged the audience to heckle, boo, and cheer the debaters. | ||
| And so we had a heck of a good time, and I hope you guys join our Discord community and get involved in these conversations. | ||
| But also you get to call into The Uncensored Show coming up in about 22 or so minutes over at rumble.com slash timcastirl. | ||
| Let's grab your chats for now, and we'll talk about what you guys got going on. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Shane H. Wilder says, some feel Trump isn't moving fast enough. | ||
| I'm still early days to forward the line. | ||
| You must strategize and hold the line until you see the whites of their eyes, else risk going off half-cocked. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| Evan for U.S. says, do you all think Pam Bondi is implicated in the Epstein docs? | ||
| Jeremy shared what could have been a rumor that this could be the case. | ||
| Hopefully just a rumor. | ||
| No way. | ||
| No way. | ||
| I'm surprised it's not above Jeremy to put out such dumb, unsubstantiated rumors. | ||
| People are so desperate for clicks nowadays on Twitter. | ||
| It's absolutely disgusting. | ||
| The incentive structure on Twitter is just to put out the dumbest crap you could think of and the dumbest of rumors. | ||
| It's really become a stress pull-up over there, unfortunately. | ||
| Views on every platform have dropped dramatically. | ||
| Here's the funny thing. | ||
| I've been in this business for, man, it's going on. | ||
| 12, 13 years. | ||
| I mean, I've been posting videos online forever, but in news media, every four years, you have a, we call it like the news death year. | ||
| This year is news death. | ||
| After a political election, some people call it fatigue. | ||
| I don't think fatigue is the right word. | ||
| It's just, we're done. | ||
| The president has been elected. | ||
| Now we're going to chill out. | ||
| We'll get back into the game when the midterms are coming up. | ||
| So the midterms will come up. | ||
| There's going to be a bubble. | ||
| Viewership will start to increase politically. | ||
| Then the year after this, we're going to start seeing an increase in campaigning for presidential primaries and things like this. | ||
| This year will be the worst in the cycle. | ||
| So what's happened is channels that talk culture and politics are seeing a substantial decrease. | ||
| Thus, they're going to ramp up. | ||
| You know, I'll put it this way. | ||
| There's a finite amount of viewers who are willing to watch political content right now. | ||
| And so that means everybody has to crank the dial up to 11 to steal whatever viewers they can from the other channels. | ||
| Bless you. | ||
| I sneezed. | ||
| Were you finished there? | ||
| Yeah, that's it. | ||
| I consume a ton of political content, including X. At this point, X is making you a dumber, more misinformed person, thanks to people like Jeremy on X. You're talking about Jeremy Hamley. | ||
| I thought I'm talking about Jeremy... | ||
| Quartering? | ||
| Quartering. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I am speaking about him. | ||
| And others on the platform are making you actively stupider and more misinformed. | ||
| Sadly. | ||
| And it's unfortunate. | ||
| Listen, Jeremy is a big Wisconsin grizzly bear. | ||
| He's not the problem. | ||
| The problem is all these accounts that just recycle everybody's old videos. | ||
| What did he say? | ||
| Wait, what did he say specifically? | ||
| He was saying that Pam Bondi isn't releasing the Epstein files because they have dirt on... | ||
| Listen, I'm not running defense for Jeremy. | ||
| I'm not running defense for his take. | ||
| Desperate for clicks. | ||
| He's trying to meld in together. | ||
| He might be drunk and delete his tweets tomorrow. | ||
| This is an influencer that people trust. | ||
| This guy's supposed to be a journalist, right? | ||
| And he's peddling stupid bullshit to try to get clicks, and it's making you actively more misinformed and stupid. | ||
| He thinks you as an audience is stupid. | ||
| Why don't you debate him? | ||
| I will just debate him, but I have disdain for people like him, frankly. | ||
| To be fair, I tweeted two things. | ||
| Who would win in a fight? | ||
| One ornery rooster or David Hogg? | ||
| Yeah, but that's not like... | ||
| I also tweeted, who would win in a fight? | ||
| One gorilla or the entire white dudes for Harris? | ||
| I think the gorilla. | ||
| I just want to mention, too, I don't know why people think gorillas have superpowers. | ||
| The idea that 100 men could not take a gorilla is the most laughably absurd thing I've ever heard in my life. | ||
| Men are such wimps nowadays that I... | ||
| Average, average, 100 average guys could take down an elephant. | ||
| This is not even... | ||
| I've seen this in Africa audio, but they had weapons. | ||
| With no weapons. | ||
| Oh, well, I don't know. | ||
| The thing about an elephant is humans can run forever. | ||
| This is how humans hunt. | ||
| They're endurance hunters. | ||
| So if humans, 100 of them, were attacking an elephant... | ||
| And you can cause serious damage to the eyes, to the trunk, to the tail. | ||
| And it tries to flee. | ||
| It will die. | ||
| It will die of exhaustion before humans get tired. | ||
| Gorillas too. | ||
| It's just insane to me that at any point anybody thought a hundred men could not fight a gorilla. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I saw a documentary. | ||
| It was animated. | ||
| It was called Tarzan. | ||
| And the gorillas were pretty tough in there. | ||
| A gorilla will die. | ||
| I think the estimates are that a gorilla would kill about 20 men and then die. | ||
| It depends on the men. | ||
| Is it 100 David Hoggs or is it 100 gay shredded men? | ||
| Nope, it's just men. | ||
| Regular guys. | ||
| Average guys. | ||
| So you're getting David Hogg and the shredded gay man. | ||
| Perhaps. | ||
| But if we're just going by average bell curve, then they're 5 '8", 5 '9", and they weigh 180 pounds. | ||
| Look, if it were guys like you... | ||
| Those guys in the Vanguard are definitely biting it. | ||
| Bro, 100 guys would kill a lion. | ||
| If it were guys like you, I think we could do it. | ||
| Have you ever been, like, tackled before by, like... | ||
| I think you could strangle a gorilla now that, like, with enough people to distract his arms. | ||
| No, like, 20 guys would hold a gorilla down. | ||
| How many people do you think one MMA fighter could take? | ||
| How many humans do you think one MMA, super MMA fighter could take? | ||
| I saw a video where a boxer beat up five guys at once. | ||
| Yeah, so if this one crazy MMA fighter could take out, I don't know, knock out 20 dudes. | ||
| Somebody like Anderson Silva in his prime. | ||
| But hold on, that's a professional, and even MMA fighters have said, they could still get knocked out if they get a punch when they're not expecting it. | ||
| Sure, but a gorilla is almost beyond that. | ||
| Is a gorilla even that violent? | ||
| They weigh on average about 400 pounds. | ||
| A single strike from a gorilla, a punch, could kill a man. | ||
| But they're acting like, you know, guys, you gotta watch UFC, okay? | ||
| People don't understand this. | ||
| They don't understand why, like, by round four, the guys are going like this with, like, jello punches, and they're struggling to hit. | ||
| It's like, dude, you're winded. | ||
| You're tired. | ||
| Lactic acid has built up, and it is difficult to maintain that high-intensity combat for that long. | ||
| A hundred guys? | ||
| They'd rip that gorilla to shreds and rip its arms and legs off. | ||
| Have you guys ever seen when, like, 30 guys lift a single car? | ||
| Not even 30! | ||
| Like, I watched a video recently where, like, 10 guys lifted a car up and moved it. | ||
| Come on! | ||
| Well, I think we should probably run this experiment, and for those of you who say it's animal cruelty, I think if the gorilla wins, we give him that Planet of the Apes serum, and we just pay him money so he lives like a king. | ||
| And, like, if the humans win, then we pay the medical bills for the survivors. | ||
| All right, let's go. | ||
| SAFederali says, Serious, not serious question. | ||
| Why are people saying O 'Keefe exposed to the most powerful family on Earth? | ||
| I thought we always accepted that their role was ceremonial. | ||
| Just because they're ceremonial doesn't mean they're not influential. | ||
| Yeah, and they get, was it a dollar per person from every person in the UK or something like that? | ||
| I think they have land that the UK government pays them for use of, and that's what supports their wealth. | ||
| They're technically like the heads of state of multiple governments, so... | ||
| Isn't it ceremonial, though? | ||
| They don't have any actual power. | ||
| Their power comes from their wealth, and they're going to transition into... | ||
| I think they have more than nothing, but less than the conspiracy theorists would say. | ||
| I think it's really more influence. | ||
| They've fallen off so hard, the royal family, because I think they still had power in King Charles' lifetime. | ||
| So for it to become ceremonial over their lifetime is so sad. | ||
| The diminishing power. | ||
| The queen was still really, really influential up until she passed away. | ||
| After she died, now Charles is not respected the same way that she was, and I think that that's probably going to be the death knell for the... | ||
| Well, because normally if you're a prince and the person who precedes you is taking way too long to kick it, you'd pull a Game of Thrones maneuver and seize the throne. | ||
| This guy just waited around. | ||
| It's kind of cowardly. | ||
| Well, if it mattered even, it doesn't even... | ||
| Jake says, what are the chances that Miss Jufre was placed in witness protection? | ||
| They claimed she died. | ||
| She didn't actually die. | ||
| They're just putting her in protection. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, that's a possibility, I guess. | ||
| I mean, that's what the mob says. | ||
| Like, I've been watching The Sopranos with the wife recently. | ||
| That's what the mob always says when they kill someone and they never find the body. | ||
| They're like, they went into witness protection. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| I guess the reverse could be true. | ||
| Mr. Pau says, can we get a big Patriot shout out and support for Brad Arnold, lead singer of Three Doors Down, who was recently diagnosed with stage four cancer? | ||
| cancer. | ||
| It's horrible. | ||
| Sad to hear it, man. | ||
| I remember being 13 years old, hanging out at Collect-A-Card and Compostor. | ||
| Yeah, if you're a praying kind, he has said that he would really appreciate prayers, so. | ||
| And speaking of cancer, Anna Kasparian of the Young Turks. | ||
| Posted on Twitter that she was in the hospital with her mother, and she has some kind of cancer of the blood, and she did bone marrow. | ||
| So people pray for her. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Her mom does? | |
| Yeah, Anna's mother. | ||
| Pray for her mother's speedy recovery. | ||
| Best wishes to Anna. | ||
| Sean, that's very nice of you to even mention. | ||
| I mean, Anna's been pretty base as of late, you know? | ||
| You're kind of a correspondent on all things Young Turks. | ||
| I am the expert. | ||
| That's what they're going to put on my headstone. | ||
| They don't really get a lot of traffic these days, do they? | ||
| I actually don't know. | ||
| I'm not an expert. | ||
| I know Anna's been off for two weeks, so... | ||
| That might be why. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Take a look at the... | ||
| Kasperian correspondent over here. | ||
| Anna's been fighting with the viewers of the Young Turks because of her base takes. | ||
| Most of their videos are just members only now. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| I figured when Chen came out, she was going to follow that. | ||
| Yeah, they don't get a lot of views at all on any of their videos for the Young Turks channel. | ||
| I'm surprised they haven't split yet. | ||
| I feel like they offer members' videos for the whole network on their main channel, and now YouTube allows you to see them for some reason, which just clutters up your feet on everybody's channel. | ||
| Well, because they want you to click it and then spend money. | ||
| Yeah, they got a lot of members-only videos. | ||
| I mean, that is one strategy. | ||
| It's a good strategy, going for memberships instead of big sponsors. | ||
| Members are better. | ||
| The Timcast members are better. | ||
| The Rumble Premium members are better. | ||
| It's hard to rely on sponsors, man. | ||
| Especially if they threaten you and want to cancel you for... | ||
| All right, Ricky M says, I'm currently on a cross-country road trip with my girlfriend. | ||
| She's not listening, but she is fangirling hard over Phil. | ||
| If it's not too much trouble, Phil, could my GF Jamie get a line from her fave ATR song, Become the Catalyst? | ||
| Please and thank you. | ||
| How about... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that from the song? | |
| That's how the song starts with just a deep growl. | ||
| All right, there you go. | ||
| All right, let's grab some more. | ||
| Hequibus says, per chat, read Whitney Webb's article on Epstein. | ||
| Why? | ||
| What does it say? | ||
| You should tell us. | ||
| Alright, what have we here? | ||
| Yeah, I'd be interested in knowing what it says. | ||
| I have an idea. | ||
| Slemmeron says, if not allowed, I apologize. | ||
| I make EDH gameplay content and post on Rumble. | ||
| Please check us out. | ||
| We are Middle Class Magic. | ||
| Again, sorry I'm not allowed to self-promote, but I'm a huge fan. | ||
| We are always here to promote non-woke Magic the Gathering players. | ||
| Although the game is really bad these days. | ||
| I don't know how Magic survives, to be completely honest. | ||
| It is a convoluted mess. | ||
| They jumped the shark. | ||
| They did. | ||
| Do you know what Magic the Gathering is? | ||
| I know what it is. | ||
| So, yeah, it's supposed to be like wizards are fighting and you summon goblins and dragons or whatever. | ||
| They put out a set a few months ago. | ||
| Magic Racing. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Wizards on motorcycles, racing. | ||
| And everybody was just like, well, we're done. | ||
| We are cooked. | ||
| Didn't they devalue, like, rare cards by re-releasing them? | ||
| Like, I'm not too familiar with the space. | ||
| It's super common, actually. | ||
| But sometimes if cards get reprinted, it can actually increase their value depending on if this coincides with a legalization of the card in a sanctioned form. | ||
| What ended up happening last year was there were several cards. | ||
| One card is called Jeweled Lotus. | ||
| It is designed specifically for a magic format called Commander. | ||
| And the independent committee on the rules banned it. | ||
| And that dropped from, like, a $100 card or $200 card. | ||
| So these are people who are playing in tournaments. | ||
| In order to have this card in your deck for a sanctioned event, you've got to save up $100, $200 and buy it. | ||
| Overnight, it dropped down to like $20 or $30. | ||
| So this just like, it's screwed a bunch of small businesses because it's secondary market. | ||
| And then Monocrypt is a huge, huge kick in the balls. | ||
| This is a very old card from the 90s, and they've re-printed it several times. | ||
| More importantly, Hasbro released a set advertising these cards specifically, promo additions. | ||
| So you'd buy a pack for $100, like a box. | ||
| You'd get like 50 packs in it or, you know, 30. And you're hoping you're going to get that one card because it's cheaper than buying the card directly, but it's kind of gambling. | ||
| And then, a few months later, they said, oh, yeah, you can't actually use those. | ||
| On the packs they're selling was the art from the card that got banned. | ||
| So I'm like, I think there's a class action there. | ||
| Because the rumor is that Hasbro knew the card would be banned from sanctioned play. | ||
| They told the rules committee not to release their ban until they sold out of the product. | ||
| Is the rules committee, like, run by them, or is it, like, a third party? | ||
| It used to be third party, now it's run by them. | ||
| After this scandal, they basically disbanded, and then Hasbro absorbed it. | ||
| So normally, like, you can't... | ||
| Just because something gets banned later, you can't sue over that. | ||
| But if they deliberately knew they were going to ban it and then this happened... | ||
| I don't know a lot about the Magic the Gathering rules, but I know similar things happen in Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments or whatever. | ||
| But yeah, if you release a card that people think are going to play and then they end up buying into it for the game, that is fraud if you know it's going to be banned. | ||
| So again, there's an independent rules committee. | ||
| Hasbro owns Magic the Gathering. | ||
| They were advertising booster packs that cost like... | ||
| I don't know, it costs like $7 something. | ||
| And it's got a picture of this card on it called Jeweled Lotus. | ||
| People started buying up these packs, being like, oh boy, I hope I get this extremely expensive and rare card to use in my deck for sanctioned events. | ||
| And then, a few months later, the Independent Rules Committee says that card is actually banned. | ||
| And there was some information that led people to believe Hasbro had communicated with the Rules Committee and knew well in advance they were going to ban this card. | ||
| And so Hasbro told them... | ||
| To hold off on their announcement until they can dump the product and make a ton of money. | ||
| Because now the card's worthless. | ||
| It's a weird thing, too, because people just can play whatever cards they want. | ||
| And the game is completely broken if that's the case. | ||
| The game does not work at all. | ||
| You may as well just draw pictures of lizards fighting dragons and warriors and make up whatever you want. | ||
| Nicholson says, I give Trump a pass on Epstein or any other story that comes out just because if it had any truth, the left would not hesitate to use it no matter the cost. | ||
| They do use it. | ||
| They post pictures of Trump and Epstein all the time. | ||
| Tim, that's not a bad idea. | ||
| I'm a capitalist, after all. | ||
| That's low, Tim. | ||
| Don't lowball me. | ||
| Come on, are you kidding? | ||
| We could do a lot better than that. | ||
| Yeah, how much do you think people are willing to pay to have your money? | ||
| Dude, a lot. | ||
| It could be like $100 a minute. | ||
| I think people would be clicking away. | ||
| You just set a goal. | ||
| They have to donate through it. | ||
| There's a meter running during the show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| When it runs out, Elad's mic turns back on. | ||
| Like the crisis party in... | ||
| At PCC. | ||
| Hey, that's actually a really good idea. | ||
| You gotta put a clock on it so then people can try to break the record of how fast they can get them off the show? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| You have a meter that is at zero, and every dollar super chat is like 10 seconds. | ||
| And so $6 is gonna be a minute. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then the meter fills up by slowly going down the whole time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So you've got a super chat to keep it... | ||
| Afloat. | ||
| Otherwise, if it goes all the way down, his mic turns back up. | ||
| And then it has to cut to me. | ||
| Serge cuts to me immediately once it passes the threshold. | ||
| Maybe it should be a dollar per second. | ||
| I think maybe. | ||
| That's a good way to work. | ||
| But if you put an execution thing, he has to be booted off when they hit that threshold. | ||
| Then they'll compete of how fast they can get him off per episode. | ||
| It's like, oh, it took 15 minutes. | ||
| This episode, we could do better than that. | ||
| Let's try to get 14. We'll have the meter's max capacity will be 3,000. | ||
| And if the meter ever hits max capacity at one time, the alarm goes off and he's just out of the show for the rest of the day. | ||
| Evacuated. | ||
| You gotta build a custom ejector seat for this so he can literally... | ||
| The sirens will go off and it'll be like, Elon is off. | ||
| There should be a penalty box. | ||
| You have to have an Elon cam where he's sitting there and his microphone is clearly not connected and that's the Elon cam that he has to show. | ||
| And it periodically shows him talking and he's just... | ||
| Ian as well. | ||
| It should actually just be third chair penalty box. | ||
| I mean, that actually is a really great idea for a show. | ||
| That's hilarious. | ||
| Gee whiz. | ||
| Not specifically for, like, banning Elad, but if we did a show where we had something like that, that actually would be really funny. | ||
| Because what we do with Chicken City is every $100, it... | ||
| A chicken party triggers, and music plays, and all the chickens run out, and it sprays mealworms everywhere. | ||
| And then Pop Culture Crisis, every $100, it fires a bunch of money guns, $20 bills in the air, and then plays crazy noises, which is nuts. | ||
| And the idea we had for a devoted world, which never got built, was going to be that every $100 in Super Chats, it was going to make it Thunderstorm. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Every $100 there should just be a picture of the moon that shows up and goes right over Sean's face. | ||
| There is no moon. | ||
| Nothing more controversial than a truth teller. | ||
| Alright, Dimension14B said, did you know that New York politicians just snuck $10 million into the New York state budget to pay for Letitia James' personal legal defense? | ||
| Sick. | ||
| Indeed, I did. | ||
| Republicans did that? | ||
| No, Democrats. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And it's literally specifically for her. | ||
| It doesn't say her name. | ||
| But the way it's outlined and defined, it's just if the federal government goes after a New York politician for doing their job after this particular date. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Deep hatred. | ||
| What have we here? | ||
| Rub says, legend has it, if you stare at the NYC, you can hear the faint sound of the chirp from a smoke detector in need of a battery. | ||
| Oh, the statue in NYC? | ||
| Someone did that. | ||
| They showed the video and they were playing. | ||
| No, no, someone did that to Jasmine Crockett. | ||
| They took one of her videos where she was talking in Congress and they started playing the smoke alarm chirp. | ||
| So there's allegedly, while she sits and speaks in the house, somebody is playing a smoke alarm chirp. | ||
| Someone's actually doing that? | ||
| Allegedly. | ||
| I believe I saw a news article about this. | ||
| And then they raised it as an issue in, like, the rules because it became really inflammatory. | ||
| Someone was actually doing that. | ||
| Somebody in the house, yeah, while she talks. | ||
| Apparently this was an ongoing thing. | ||
| They'd play the chirp. | ||
| Wait, wait, wait. | ||
| A member of Congress was doing it? | ||
| Or it could have been their staff. | ||
| Or somebody in the audience. | ||
| Somebody who's there. | ||
| What's crazy is Crockett didn't notice it. | ||
| So you've read that story too? | ||
| No, I did a story on that. | ||
| Remember that girl, the track racer, that she ended up hitting another track racer in, I believe it was Virginia? | ||
| And that was a big issue for a while, like that she was saying that she didn't strike her on purpose or whatever. | ||
| So I did a story on that, and I used footage from the local news, and people started stamping a time code claiming that there was a smoke detector chirp. | ||
| I didn't hear it on the initial thing. | ||
| But then I heard it, and I go to the local news report. | ||
| It's in the local news report. | ||
| I find the interview, and I swear to God, again, not altered a second by me. | ||
| This woman, or this girl, had four smoke detectors going off at, like, different intervals in her house, and it's in the interview. | ||
| Like, the local news reporter doesn't say, hey, have you ever heard of a 9-volt battery? | ||
| Like, so I don't know what it is. | ||
| I think people are afraid of heights or something. | ||
| Yeah, like, I don't know what's going on. | ||
| And then apparently people have told me, representatives from the black community have told me that some people believe that it chirps every 10 seconds, and that indicates that it's working. | ||
| I just wanted to fact check myself. | ||
| Yeah, I fell for a Twitter meme. | ||
| A really good funny spot on Twitter meme with 26 million impressions. | ||
| So, no, apparently... | ||
|

|
Wow! | |
| I was... | ||
| That would have been funny. | ||
| We got one more super chat. | ||
| And it's... | ||
| Kookaburra says, "Don't usually agree with Elad, but he's right about Jeremy. | ||
| The clickbait has gotten out of hand. | ||
| Makes him look desperate." Jeremy's in the chat, too. | ||
| And so, I went to Jeremy's channel, and I gotta be honest, I don't see anything particularly different about anything he's ever done. | ||
| No, but I have a specific tweet. | ||
| I did see one of his videos that said, Marvel is dead, Thunderbolts bombs, and I was surprised because I went and saw Thunderbolts and it was actually pretty good. | ||
| Is it? | ||
| Yeah, Brave New World was not good, and Thunderbolts was actually good. | ||
| I would call it like a B-action movie, like entertaining, fun to watch. | ||
| It was fine. | ||
| It did bomb. | ||
| It's the second worst MCU opening. | ||
| It's crazy, dude. | ||
| I think, look, man. | ||
| Sinners is raking it in. | ||
| That's why. | ||
| Like, that's the movie. | ||
| Really? | ||
| I saw both over the weekend. | ||
| Sinners had been out for a week. | ||
| What's Sinners about? | ||
| It's a Ryan Coogler film with Michael B. Jordan. | ||
| It's like a horror movie. | ||
| Takes place in Jim Crow's lab. | ||
| It's like the black movie of the year, right? | ||
| Proceeds director, prestige actors and all that. | ||
| I saw Sinners a week after it was released. | ||
| Same weekend as Thunderbolts. | ||
| Opening night, I saw Thunderbolts. | ||
| Sinners Theater, way more packed. | ||
| What's it about? | ||
| It's like a horror movie that takes place in the Jim Crow south, and there's vampires involved in it. | ||
| Isn't it just like all the white people are vampires? | ||
| No! | ||
| It's not that. | ||
| I will say, I thought they were going to make it more... | ||

| So, Sean, you were just telling us about your new YouTube channel, or what is it? | ||
| The new X account that you should make, or I should make, is called The Noticer, where you just rehash 10-year-old black crime videos and make all the money on Twitter. | ||
| I'm starting to recognize the same violent videos that get recycled on the platform. | ||
| That's how often they're reposted. | ||
| It's like a race to the bottom of who could post the most shitty race-baity shit to really stir up. | ||
| The fucking, I don't know, 4chan migrants. | ||
| We're fried, yo. | ||
| I think, culturally, we are fucked. | ||
| Yo, Tim, this happened last night with that video from the India-Pakistan war. | ||
| You were talking about that you saw the video, and you're like, that's a fake video. | ||
| I was like, yeah, because you've already seen it. | ||
| Because people are just going to repost it. | ||
| I know this is going to happen. | ||
| People are going to repost crazy stuff in the last five years and hope no one's seen it. | ||
| This is what's crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That video wasn't fake. | |
| So what happened last night was there was a real video from India-Pakistan. | ||
| And there were also a bunch of fake videos posted. | ||
| A journalist took screenshots of the fake video and then posted them alongside the original post showing this is not from India, Pakistan, this is from this time. | ||
| And then what happened was Grok, which is dumb as shit and has become useless, someone asked it if this actual video from India, from Pakistan, was real. | ||
| And Grok said, no, that's a video from Gaza, which was fucking untrue. | ||
| But Grok is retarded and cited the other journalists' claims, didn't actually analyze it in any meaningful way, and then claimed a real video was a fake video, so we fucked. | ||
| I'm just gonna say this. | ||
| Culturally, we're fucked for the reasons you described. | ||
| I do want to pull this up from Cosmic Book News, Thunderbolts bombing. | ||
| We don't have to talk about Thunderbolts, I don't care. | ||
| My point is, dude, Marvel movies used to go billion dollars every movie. | ||
| Billion dollars. | ||
| Now they can't crack shit. | ||
| They are not beating their budgets. | ||
| They are failing miserably. | ||
| I don't think... | ||
| I obviously think Chris Evans... | ||
| I'll say this. | ||
| MCU sucks. | ||
| Like, it used to be good, and now it's just fucking convoluted psychotic bullshit. | ||
| But all the last major video game releases, they've largely bombed. | ||
| Movies, largely bombing. | ||
| Sinners, sure, is doing well, I suppose. | ||
| But it looks like, culturally, people just aren't buying shit anymore or doing shit. | ||
| But I have a theory. | ||
| There's no fucking kids. | ||
| Gen Z ain't got no money, so they ain't buying shit. | ||
| Millennials aren't going to MCU anymore. | ||
| If you take a look at YouTube views, they're way down. | ||
| But also for people who make cultural content. | ||
| Guys, when I started my Timcast News YouTube channel, I think I was 30. It was 2015. | ||
| Yeah, so I was just about 30. People at that time, 10 years ago, there were 26, 27-year-olds. | ||
| They were playing video games. | ||
| They were watching movies. | ||
| So when we were complaining about weird, woke bullshit in movies, they were like, this is what I care about. | ||
| Now we're all 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, etc. | ||
| And we don't give a shit about these movies or video game releases. | ||
| Nobody is buying shit anymore. | ||
| Gen Z is not coming in to buy these things anymore. | ||
| Gen Alpha doesn't exist. | ||
| So we were talking about Katy Perry and Beyonce. | ||
| Struggling to sell tickets. | ||
| Did you see this story? | ||
| I did not. | ||
| Katy Perry is canceling spots on her tour and dropping ticket prices ridiculously. | ||
| Beyonce, they're making fun of her now because the cost of a Beyonce ticket at one of her shows is the same price as a McDonald's cheeseburger. | ||
| A meal. | ||
| It's like 20 bucks. | ||
| And everyone's like, wow, Beyonce has fallen so miserably. | ||
| We then were talking about it. | ||
| I can't remember who said it, but they were like, yeah. | ||
| But Sabrina Carpenter is selling out, right? | ||
| Sabrina Carpenter is selling out arenas to 10,000 people. | ||
| Sleep Token, which is ostensibly a heavy metal band, they're playing civic centers, which is pretty unheard of for a heavy metal band nowadays. | ||
| They're doing well? | ||
| They're doing very well. | ||
| That's pretty good. | ||
| So here's what's happening. | ||
| Katy Perry and Beyonce can't sell stadiums anymore. | ||
| Sabrina Carpenter is only selling between 10,000 and 20,000 at arenas. | ||
| So these, like, they used to sell stadiums. | ||
| Big pop stars. | ||
| It's not happening anymore. | ||
| You think that people are mad at Beyonce because they're afraid if they show up to her concert that Kamala Harris is just going to give a speech? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| I think largely that millennials don't go to these things anymore. | ||
| And Gen Z doesn't care for the most part. | ||
| And they have no money to spend. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Did this movie have a smaller budget? | ||
| Because you've seen it, right? | ||
| It is much smaller scale than other Marvel movies. | ||
| But I do think they diluted their product with all these TV shows on Netflix. | ||
| Half these characters are introduced in TV shows. |
