Clinton Judge JUST DISMISSED James, Comey Indictment, Trump DOJ APPEALS | Timcast IRL
|
Time
Text
A judge has dismissed the indictments against James Comey and Letitia James in a tremendous victory for the Democrats.
The judge, of course, was appointed by Clinton and said that the appointment of the interim U.S. attorney was unconstitutional and therefore all actions that this individual took were now void.
The Trump DOJ says they will appeal, but of course, the perspective is it is partisan lawfare.
Clinton judge sides with Comey, of course, says they can't do this, but how else would they do it?
The judge says, look, you got to have the U.S. Attorney approved by the Senate, which probably is never going to happen.
So we'll see how this one ends up playing out.
We'll cover that story.
Then we've got a bunch of other big news.
The Pentagon has begun a formal review of Mark Kelly.
They're being called the seditious six, these Democrats who called on the U.S. military to defy Trump's orders under the guise of if they're illegal.
And fortunately for them, we are not stupid, and they have been calling Trump's orders illegal for the entire year, first year of his second term.
So when you come out and say everything Trump is doing is illegal and then make a video later saying defy Trump's illegal orders, you're basically saying defy the chain of command, which has repercussions, but let's be real.
I doubt anything will happen, right?
We do have real fun news, though, with the X rollout of the country identifier.
Prominent accounts have been deleting themselves.
As it turns out, that many pro-America personalities were in Bangladesh.
Tons of Native American accounts calling for decolonization were in fact in Bangladesh.
And certain political commentators were just outed as being from various different countries.
And nobody wants to follow them anymore.
So I'll talk about that.
Plus a whole lot more.
Before we get started, my friends, we got a great sponsor.
It is Backyard Butchers.
Head over to BackyardButchers.com slash Tim.
Use promo code Tim to get real meat, not this feed lot mystery meat, big ag chemical hormone garbage.
Big ag should not be sitting at your holiday table, my friends.
We got Thanksgiving come up.
Big Ag, like big pharma, has tried to infiltrate the food system with genetically modified food and hormones that affect your family's health and children's future.
But you buy from backyard butchers, you'll get real ranch-raised beef from real American families who still believe in doing things right.
It's beef that's hormone-free, grass-fed, pasture-raised, handled with pride, not genetically modified.
Because American tradition deserves better than big ag meat.
And yes, your grandmother would approve.
She believed good food should have integrity and meat should come from ranchers, not conglomerates.
In fact, the funny thing is she probably didn't really think about it back then because you didn't have to because meat was just good.
Make grandma proud this Thanksgiving and kick big ag out of the kitchen by getting meat raised right from backyard butchers.

And you can tell everybody when they're like, what are you drinking?
You can go pool water.
And they're going to go, oh, what?

The distributors have been reaching out regional distributors and they're asking if they can carry pool water.
And the answer is yes.
So we are going to be updating the graphics.
And it is still going to be a gag product, but it's delicious.
So definitely check it out at casbrew.com and get it while you can.
Don't forget to also smash that like button.
Share the show with everyone you know.
Seriously, this holiday season.
We only have two episodes of Timcast IRO this week because I'll just be honest with you guys, I don't like taking time off, but it's basically impossible to work through the holidays.
And to be honest, you guys should be hanging out with friends and family, hopefully family, but whoever you can and spend the holidays together.
And so I'll probably have morning segments up for you guys throughout the week, but no IRL.
Tuesday, tomorrow will be the last day for the week.
Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more, we have Amber Duke.
Hey, good to see you all.
I'm Amber Duke.
I'm the senior editor for the Daily Caller, co-host of The Hills Rising and Reasons Free Media.
And because everybody has a sub stock these days, you can subscribe to my sub stock, Amber Marie Duke.
And my newsletter, Unfit to Print, is there at Pops Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Right on.
We got Shane hanging out.
What's up?
I am Shane Cashman, host of Invertible Live.
Tonight, when we go live at 10 o'clock, before we take phone calls from anybody, we're going to go over the story of two people who planned to take over Haiti by force, one of which joined the Air Force to get training to do so.
And they were going to eliminate all the men and enslave all the women and children.
And they were going to gather up homeless people in D.C. to do it.
And I know what you're all thinking.
It was not the Clintons.
It was two Texas men who decided to do that.
And really wild story.
So we're going to do that.
We're going to talk about the teddy bear with AI that was sending sexually explicit messages to children.
That's creepy.
Yes.
Very creepy.
Well, should be interesting.
Maybe we'll talk a little bit about stuff like that.
We got Elada hanging out.
He pissed off Carolyn Levitt today.
Oh, yeah.
Good evening, everybody.
I'm Elada Liyahu, the White House correspondent today.
I don't think she was valid in her anger towards me, but.
No, Trump said this.
He said there was no talent.
He has this quote, and they have a chance to answer it.
And I think she was a little bit aggressive, but they're going to push back.
That's what they're going to do.
Maybe we'll get a look at it sometime in the show.
Anyway, Phil.
We will.
Hello, everybody.
My name is Phil Abonte.
I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains on anti-communists and counter-revolution.
Your microphone is off.
Oh, no.
Hello.
And now it is on.
She echoes.
Hello, everybody.
Is everyone else's mic on?
No, no.
So that's just like, it's okay.
It's there.
I promise.
Guys, you see what happens on Thanksgiving week?
That's it.
Thanks for hanging out.
I'm going to go have turkey.
Seriously, I had Thanksgiving over the weekend because it's the easiest way to do it.
And Phil was there.
I was there, yeah.
My name is Phil Abonte.
I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.
I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.
Let's get into it.
Now here's the big breaking news from CNN.
We love you, CNN.
Federal judge dismisses indictments against Letitia James and James Comey, saying Lindsey Halligan appointment was unlawful.
What I really love about this dismissal was that it's Letitia James and James Comey.
And I was trying to write the title.
I was like, James and Comey indictments.
And I went, wait, Comey and James?
This is going to be very confusing for people, but it is what it is.
A federal judge dismissed the indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and Letitia James on Monday.
The judge found that President Donald Trump's appointment of interim news attorney Lindsey Halligan in Alexandria, Virginia was invalid.
Trump handpicked Halligan for the role amid increasing pressure to bring criminal cases against his political enemies, they say, including Comey and James.
The Attorney General's attempt to install Miss Halligan as interim news attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was invalid.
According to Curie, all actions flowing from Ms. Halligan's defective appointment, including the indictments against Comey and James, were unlawful exercise of executive power and are hereby set aside.
Well, we've got Comey's response, and he loves jamming the camera right up in his face.
I'm grateful that the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence and incompetence, and a reflection of what the Department of Justice has become under Donald Trump, which is heartbreaking.
But I was also inspired by the example of the career people who refused to be part of this travesty.
It cost some of them their jobs.
I think we lost internet.
Oh, no.
Did we lose internet?
Which is painful, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price.
And I know they will serve again.
Yep, we crashed.
I was very lucky that some of the best lawyers in America stepped forward to represent me.
I hope they serve as an example to more and more lawyers, especially some of the big firms, to participate in protecting our liberty, protecting the rule of law.
And my family and friends were always with me.
And luckily for me, include some of those great lawyers.
This case mattered to me personally, obviously, but it matters most because a message has to be sent that the president of the United States cannot use the Department of Justice to target his political enemies.
I don't care what your politics are.
You have to see that as fundamentally un-American and a threat to the rule of law that keeps all of us free.
I know that Donald Trump will probably come after me again, and my attitude is going to be the same.
I'm innocent.
I am not afraid.
And I believe in an independent federal judiciary, the gift from our founders that protects us from a would-be tyrant.
When I was a kid, my parents would wake us up for school every morning by snapping open the shades and saying, time to rise and shine and show the world what you're made of.
What?
Well, it's that time, America.
It's time to stand up and show the fools who would frighten us, who would divide us, that we're made of stronger stuff.
I actually wonder if what's going to happen in this country won't be any kind of civil war, but just absolute demoralization to the point where everyone just lays down and just goes to sleep.
Yeah.
Look, this is something that, this kind of points to something that we've talked about around the table here a few times.
People want to see indictments.
They want to see things happen fast.
They want to see people put in jail.
And I said before, the administration needs to make sure that they have all their ducks in a row.
They need to make sure that they have all their T's crossed and all their I's dotted because this is what happens if you don't.
Now, I'm not sure about whether or not this is politically motivated.
I assume it is.
But the idea that you can just grab people up and then throw them in court and you're going to get the kind of result that people are looking for, that's just not going to happen.
You have to have the administration has to have all their ducks in a row and they have to have an airtight case or else this is what's going to be the result, which only makes getting the people that have likely broken the law, getting them and prosecuting them, it makes it almost completely out of the question.
Especially if they're bringing these cases in front of Clinton or Biden appointed judges, right, who are just looking, chomping at the bit for a reason to get rid of these cases.
And I think it was pretty obvious to everybody that the appointment of Lindsey Halligan was fairly rushed.
The indictment itself was fairly rushed.
Now, the good news is that the case was dismissed without prejudice.
So it could be potentially refiled, but they would have to find somebody to get in as this Eastern Virginia attorney who is acceptable to the court and probably confirmed by the Senate.
And they're still on a deadline, right?
So they would have to get the judge to agree that they can basically go beyond this 120-day filing period because of extenuating circumstances of this initial case being thrown out.
I think we're having internet problems on YouTube.
Only Rumble seems to be fine, and I don't know why that is.
But usually this means we have to start and stop YouTube's feed to fix it.
But Rumble seems to be working just fine.
Everyone on Rumble is having a good time, but on YouTube, everyone's saying it's glitching out.
Do you guys want to restart that?
Or YouTube?
Or YouTube?
I don't know.
Well, we just did.
Boom.
Start and stop.
We'll see if that fixes it.
Anyway, I'm very much very politically demoralized right now.
And I think everyone is.
And I think, you know, it's kind of sad because I do think there's an element of the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk where there's a lot of rage right away, but now there's kind of there's a lot of infighting.
There's general dejection.
It seems to be that following this very serious moment, the Trump administration is kind of floundering.
Ilad asked a question of Carolyn Levitt today about the Trump H-1B thing and her reaction.
She gave a non-answer, right?
You basically asked about replacing American workers with H-1B workers, and she says, that's not happening.
Well, Trump said it was happening.
Okay.
So it's like we need them to say real leadership on the issue is going to say something like, we do need temporary workers.
It is not to replace American workers.
Some kind of actual answer to assuage the fears of Americans.
But I think one of the reasons people, there's two big reasons people are largely tuning out of politics right now.
One, it's the holidays.
So obviously people are a bit like, okay, look, we get it.
But I do think we've been there, done that, we've heard that, and we're not satisfied with the outcomes that we're getting.
I don't know if there's any good answer, though.
I don't know if you're going to get any better than this.
And if you don't, you've basically now got Trump who's advocating for a lot of Democrat-like policies, certainly better than Democrats for sure.
But with James Kimley, Digita James now getting this victory, is anything really going to happen?
Is there going to be any kind of action taken against the corrupt political infrastructure?
I voted for retribution.
I'm not getting any yet.
And I think I want to, I know I want to see a lot of arrests for a lot of these people.
I mean, this guy's a scumbag.
He did this.
It's so absurd.
This is the same angle he gave us when he would give a 15-minute soliloquy of being on a Swifty.
Remember that?
He had to stare into the camera and talk about Taylor Swift forever.
And it looks like he took his sunglasses off long enough, you know, from his long strolls on the beach from putting rock death threats together.
It's all just, it is, it's demoralized.
Look at this guy.
It's demoralizing.
He's going to walk free.
He's not scared.
He knows the institution is backing him.
You got Marjorie Taylor Greene resigning.
Yep.
Trump going after Marjorie Taylor Greene ran Paul and Thomas Massey.
And I know everyone's like, yeah, but they're bad.
And I'm like, so what?
Democrats are worse.
It's like, okay, we don't have serious leaders.
And maybe the key strategy right now should not be to focus on whatever Trump is doing, but try and figure out better candidates for the midterms that can win.
I don't know.
Or just run for the Hills because it looks like Republicans are gearing up for a major loss next year.
I don't know why you guys are so demoralized over this.
I wasn't under any impression that they would be charged with any of these punishments.
Anything that the charges were, I don't think they were.
You were black pilled from the get-go.
No, I just had no hope in your heart at all.
I think the punishment was the process.
I don't think Trump was trying to convict us.
It's not a good enough punishment.
It's not a good enough punishment.
A one-month punishment.
Not even the penalty for sedition is you go to a private meeting and then go home and that's it.
You go on Instagram live.
And they get the media hits.
John Bolton's house gets raided in the morning.
His case wasn't involved here, but it's nothing.
They were throwing Bannon in prison.
These people need to go away.
Fauci, I mean, Obama would be great.
I think for the president, in the president's point of view, this is good enough.
Then that's a shame.
That's a shame because he ran on Agenda 47, which was to dismantle these very people.
Like I said, the point that I'm trying to make here is if you don't have a dictatorial president, which we don't have, no matter how much the left wants to assert that, you can't just be like, well, throw these people in jail.
You have to have a strong case.
And again, this is another situation where people don't want to hear how the sausage is made, but the process matters.
And if you don't have all your ducks in a row, then they're going to get out on some kind of, you know, oh, well, you didn't file the paperwork technology or some kind of technicality.
And this is an example of that.
We also know that the Trump administration can do better.
They're, what, undefeated at the Supreme Court, right?
So they obviously have talented lawyers around arguing these cases, but they just completely fumbled the bag here.
Well, I mean, they can do better at the Supreme Court, but they also don't have activists.
They only have two activist judges, really.
Well, maybe three on the court they have to worry about, right?
Like, and I've said this before, you know, going into a Supreme Court case, the way that three of the judges are going to vote because they're activists, because they're ideologically possessed.
You know, almost without a doubt, the way that the liberal judges are going to vote.
You don't know the way that the conservative judges are going to vote because they're going to take their job seriously.
They're going to say they're going to look at the merits of the case and they're going to decide based on the merits of the case and they're going to actually do what a judge does.
And if you've got activists, you have to plan for that.
So you have to have something that's airtight.
And I just don't, this particular case, obviously, you know, it's a technicality.
But if there's any room for a Democrat to slip through, Democrats are going to find the way to get them out of, you know, out of trouble.
So I'm under the impression that the president is really bitter about how in 2024, all Democrats from across the country were looking for any disparate thing that they could charge the president with.
So there was the Georgia case.
There was the special counsel Jack Smith case.
There was the hidden documents case.
There was like the January 6th case.
I don't even know if I'm missing any of these, but a couple he was actually convicted of fraud in Manhattan, but others he wasn't.
So he's looking to throw so-called mud at the wall to see what will stick with any of these charges against any of these guys.
I don't think he cares if it's mortgage fraud or how flimsy the charges may be because he believes that he was brought up on very flimsy charges.
So he doesn't mind bringing up others on it.
So I don't know if he cares if he actually gets to the conviction, if he could actually charge them.
That's a mistake.
And then make them go through the process.
That's a mistake because of people like us that are like Shane over here is like, I want to see heads rolling.
But unless it was never going to be that.
We were never going to be able to see that.
It was mortgage.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter if it's never going to be.
People want to see results.
And if they're not getting the results, they're going to be disillusioned.
And that's going to turn into, I'm not going to support the president.
I'm not going to go out and vote in the midterms.
I don't care.
The Republicans aren't going to take care of us, blah, blah, blah.
And so that just means that the Democrats win.
We watched the FBI be weaponized against the American people for years and then against Trump and all that lawfare.
I mean, the Whitmer fednapping case is an insane story.
So what's the solution that you're going to that you're looking for?
I'm looking to dismantle this stuff, not keep funding it.
Most of the stuff that you're talking about requires more than just a president saying, okay, well, I'm going to do this or do that.
Well, I'm looking for the people who are looking for the people who were put into these institutions like Patel and Bongina to do what they were saying they're going to do.
Turning to the people.
Stuff like that.
I think the moment they walked into that office, the AI overlord turned on every computer in the room just turned into an eyeball and it was like, we control you.
And they were all like, I will do whatever you say.
Right.
I agree.
I'm just not seeing it.
I understand what you're saying, Phil.
But I think the American people are demoralized, widespread, both sides.
And well, maybe right now the right more than the left, and they don't feel a need to vote anymore because the economy is bad.
The jobs are going away.
And they're also not getting the retribution that everyone wanted because they saw the president being attacked for years and years and years.
And now he's back in power.
There's no power.
But again, to say, well, I want to see results, I understand that.
But there has to be a process to get those results.
I get it.
But we're almost at midterms.
And then we're almost at midterms.
Well, midterm season has begun.
It's officially kicking off as soon as Christmas is over.
And so right now there's sort of the fundraising stuff that's starting up.
Then once January comes, it is off to the races.
It's campaigning.
It's not focusing on how to fix it.
I don't know if the right has any effective message as of right now, which is unfortunate because before they killed Charlie, everything was perfectly on track and now it's all just broken apart.
They don't have a message on affordability.
They don't have a message on health care.
I mean, that's really a fundamental problem that's been plaguing the Republican Party since 2016, if not earlier, 2012, because they ran all of these campaigns against Obamacare, but they didn't have any solution as to how to make healthcare more affordable.
There were a group of think tanks in 2018, I think it was Heritage, AEI, basically all the conservative or libertarian think tanks in D.C. who were supposed to get together and form this super group where they were going to come up with a comprehensive Republican answer to Obamacare.
And it just kind of disappeared.
Like nobody ever talks about it anymore.
Trump apparently went to the Republican Congress with some idea for health care.
They told him to shut up and stop talking about it.
And now there's a Punch Bowl News report from Jake Sherman that Marjorie Taylor Greene is not going to be the only Republican that resigns before the end of her term, that there could be other shock resignations because they are too demoralized because they're sitting in a Congress that has really failed to codify any of Trump's executive orders, that has done nothing besides the Big Beautiful bill and the Lake and Riley Act.
And that was, you know, six months ago.
So like, what are they doing there?
Absolutely nothing.
Well, let's jump to this next story from the New York Post.
Bethany McGee, 26, identified as the victim set on fire on CTA train by serial thug with 72 arrests.
I hate to be pessimistic, but I will tell you a few things that had got me down this holiday season.
Across the board, many people have been concerned, and this is more vanity, to be completely honest, but a lot of high-profile, prominent conservatives' viewership has tanked.
And I don't care all that much about the vanity of it, but it's indicative of people aren't caring anymore.
There's widespread demoralization that is affecting many individuals to the point where they say, I just can't pay attention.
And that's terrifying for what that means going into a midterm where we have to win.
And why?
Because of stories like this.
This guy walked up to a woman who was sitting on the Chicago train, dumped gasoline on her head, and she fought him off and ran to the other side of the train.
He lit the bottle on fire and walked towards it and immolated her.
I believe she got around 60% burns, which she's currently in critical condition and has been now for a couple of weeks.
And hopefully she survives, but there is a very high probability of fatality in this.
This guy was in some kind of institution and he punched a nurse in the face.
I think they said that it shattered her orbital socket.
They let him out because this is what these DEI Democrat judges do.
And he immediately decides to go fill up a bottle of gas and immolate a random woman.
We've already had the Lake and Riley story and we all outraged over it and nothing happened.
We had the Irina Zarutska story and we all outraged over it and nothing happened.
Now we have the Bethany McGee story.
There's not going to be any riots.
There's not going to be any protests.
There's not going to be a change in the judicial system.
Trump's indictments are not going to work.
I'm sorry.
Spare me your, you know, these politicians who are saying, trust us, wait one more time.
I don't know what must be done to actually bring about a change because it just keeps happening.
And while Trump is getting some things done that I think are great, the big picture right now for the average person, it's all still just falling apart, no matter how hard we are pushing back.
So what is the answer when we get more and more stories like this?
What is the answer?
I mean, the biggest problem we have is the leftist judges that are in the country that are that believe in things like restorative justice, that don't believe that people are responsible for their behavior or that it's acceptable to put people that have committed terrible violent crimes in jail.
I think, you know, I was talking to a reporter today who was asking me questions.
He was doing an interview on some internet personalities.
You know, they always say, never talk to reporters, but I'm kind of like, whatever, dude, they're going to do what they're going to do.
You know, put yourself in the conversation.
It is what it is.
But I pointed out that in this conversation, I said, I don't think there's a conversation around the future of the political space with conservative commentators and podcasts.
The reporter from the Washington Post was talking to me said, their question was like, what do you think about these personalities on the right?
Like Joe Rogan and blah, blah.
And I'm like, it's really funny that you call Joe Rogan right-wing.
And then I was like, but I think the reality is people don't change their minds for the most part.
What we're seeing with this is not going to be solved by modern politics.
It is a product of the past 20 years of politics.
Young people now growing up with this will have extreme political views.
I don't mean they're going to be extremists.
I'm saying you are going to get on the left ignorance because they're not going to see this.
And on the right, they're going to say Deus Walt.
My point is, we vote for change.
You're not going to get it because right now, the body politic of Chicago is we support this.
Now, obviously, if you show the story to average person, they're going to say a criminal should never happen.
But if you go to the average person in Chicago and say, do you think that the criminal justice system is wrongly imprisoning black men?
They'll say yes.
Do you think we need to have restorative justice and social programs?
They will say yes.
They will vote for this again.
Young men are going to grow up seeing this and they're going to scream Deus Walt and they're going to vote very, very differently.
So I don't think the solution rests upon us today saying something like, hey, we better go campaign and knock on doors because the average person isn't going to see this, no, or care.
I think the real issue is you do a show like this, young people see these stories and when they grow up, their views are informed by it.
So there's going to be a shift.
And I've talked about the fertility crisis for some time, but oh boy, you know, in talking about there's like some viral story right now about this trans kid on the cover of Nat Geo who is now non-binary, asexual, and has just abandoned the whole trans thing.
It's like, well, you castrate somebody, they become eunuchs, they're going to be asexual.
That whole gender ideology stuff is breaking apart.
But so long as the left keeps championing anti-anti-baby politics, conservatives are going to win the political race.
And the next 20 years, you are going to get Groiper Deus Walt policies.
But I mean, I understand the point that you're making, but I don't know that there's actually going to be a majority in the next, at least in the next 20 years.
And will the country be even, will the country even resemble the country that we live in now if we have to wait for a whole generation before we actual conservatives?
And civil war.
Because you're going to get young dudes.
I mean, seriously, this story is so insanely shocking that it's like the fourth or fifth story in the past couple of months of some young white woman being mercilessly killed in some horrifying way.
It's not just a story of a woman who was robbed and shot.
It is not even just a horrifying story of a woman getting raped.
You have with Lake and Riley, and you know, forgive me if children are listening, but a woman who's fighting off a rapist gets bludgeoned to death in a brutal manner.
You get Irina Zarutska stabbed and left to bleed out on this train as people watched.
And you have Bethany McGee who was immolated on a train.
These are graphic, gruesome, terroristic murders.
And it is not just a guy stole her purse and killed her in the process.
It is malicious evil with the intent to cause maximum, maximum pain.
And that's terrifying.
When a young man from Chicago sees this, if there is not, I'll put it this way, those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.
And that is not just a statement about a government that resists change.
It is about an immovable object.
For many activists over the last 10 years, I've heard this statement, especially with Occupy Wall Street.
Their sentiment there was if the government doesn't allow us to implement social reforms, the system will fall apart.
And that means not just, hey, we want food banks.
Hey, we want healthcare.
That means when you keep getting stories of career criminals being released and then torturing young women to death, eventually it's not so much violent revolution you have to worry about.
It's vigilante justice.
How long do we have to wait until some dude puts on a ski mask, hangs out in the trains, and just starts killing people like you get with the New York vigilante?
Remember that story, what's his face?
And then what does that turn into?
You will get neighborhood watches.
You are going to get vigilante gangs that are going to go around and there's going to be shootouts in Chicago or nothing happens.
People flee the city and it falls apart.
But either way, right now it seems that the city is intent on continually voting for these policies.
I think the likely scenario then is people are going to flee and they're going to get geographic hyperpolarization.
I want to stress in this regard, Nick Fuentes lives in Chicago.
When you see what's going in Chicago, I am not surprised you get the rise of an individual like Nick Fuentes.
Now, his comments about Israel, whatever, Hitler, dumb, whatever you want to say, but the reason why that message in general is resonating with young people, much to the chagrin of these like Babylon B guys and all of the individuals, the neocons that were angry with the debate we had last week, they are ignoring the fact that one, we have all pointed out that on the issue of Israel, Hitler, whatever the point he's making about Jews, most people don't agree.
But young guys are attracted to the overall message because they come from Chicago or they come from urban environments where they see career criminals, largely black men or other minorities, committing crimes like this and the system will not change, or at least not in the short term.
Don't forget someone went to Nick's house to kill him.
Right.
And then I went to another house and killed other people and a dog.
And I think it was this weekend.
Did they go to the first?
They killed people.
Maybe it was the other way around.
Yeah.
They killed people and then went to assessment.
This weekend there was in Chicago 300 plus person riot.
I think there was one death there at a tree lighting.
Yes.
It's a mess.
It's pandemonium.
Yep.
And it's sad because I'm from Chicago.
My wife is from Chicago and we just, we're having our family Thanksgiving out here and we're talking about like what has become of our city.
And you know, I'll say this too.
There's another lesser element to this that I'm curious what you guys think about too is I went to the Christmas market last year.
We used to go when I was little, not something we did consistently, but the Chicago Christmas market's a well-known thing by the Picasso sculpture.
And there's a bunch of little shops and you'd walk around, you'd get a little mug, you'd either get molded wine or hot cocoa.
When I went there, it was shoulder to shoulder of non-Americans.
It was people who are not from the United States.
It was a variety of different migrant groups.
And I'm going to put it like this.
I largely don't care about, you know, if people want to move here, if we have legal immigration, but I tell you this, there's going to be some dude who's 28, 29 years old, and he's going to be looking around at a bunch of people who don't speak English.
He's not able to shop there anymore because it's shoulder to shoulder and everyone's pushing each other around.
And he's going to be saying to himself, what happened to my Christmas market?
Why can't I give my kids Christmas morning with French toast and maple syrup, go to the Christmas market, walk comfortably, buy a hot dog in a mug, give it to my child and share with them what I had?
Why is it now it's being treated like some tourist novelty by people who aren't from here to experience without the same value that I put into it?
That's the light side of things.
That's why you're getting more of this Groiper stuff.
On the hard side of things, you are getting this.
How many stories do it to have of this where nothing's being changed?
I think we're also seeing more a type of concern about black people, particularly homeless ones who have mental illness or are drug addicts on the street.
I think what plays into these new stories too are the races of the people, just like in the video of the lady getting attacked on the bus prior.
It was a black man stabbing a white woman.
This is also like a pretty young white woman being burned to death by this man.
But I think people are fleeing from neighborhoods like this and they fall into further decay and degeneracy.
This isn't a nice thing.
This is downtown.
This is the blue line train downtown.
This is where Pritzker put on his stupid body armor and said, everything's safe here.
And then she gets on a blue line train and is not just, this is, it's horrifying.
He didn't just rob her and kill her.
Yep.
This is what this, this was, he wanted to destroy life and he wanted her to suffer.
This is pure evil in an area that's supposed to be safe.
She didn't wander into a dangerous neighborhood on accident.
I think we're going to be seeing a white flight from many of these cities where we're seeing high-profile crimes like this perpetrated by guys like this.
But also like, where do you go?
I mean, in Fairfax County on the Ruston Trail, which is just like a nice little walking trail in Northern Virginia.
It's a suburb of D.C.
This guy was arrested November 9th who attempted to strike a man who was walking on the trail.
He was charged with two counts of simple assault and larceny and he was surprise, surprise, released.
Well, two days later, he was out there again sexually assaulting women.
And yet repeatedly in Fairfax County, what happens?
People are supposed to vote, but then they continually vote for Steve Descano, the progressive Soros-funded prosecutor.
They vote for Jay Jones to be the attorney general after he talks about murdering children.
And women with children, a majority of them vote for Jay Jones.
And what really concerns me is we're told we see these things happening, so we have to go vote.
And voting seems futile in many of these places.
So the next step is self-defense.
And this gets at what Tim was saying about vigilante justice.
Well, they're also trying to criminalize self-defense.
There is a woman who is a 7-Eleven clerk.
She was working the night shift.
This guy comes in, attempts to rob the store, puts her in a chokehold.
She somehow manages to get her gun off and shoots this guy and kills him.
She's cleared of all charges, but 7-Eleven fires her and tells her that she doesn't get to have a job anymore because she protected the store in her life.
I want to pull up the next element of the Bethany McGee story.
Now, again, we have from the New York Post leading this off with Bethany McGee.
She was the victim who was set on fire on the CTA train by a thug with 72 arrests.
72.
But there's another element that is going viral in this story, and it is this image.
Now, I have, I can say this.
I went on to Facebook, searched for the individual in question, and this is a screenshot that I found.
There is now a lot of criticism.
There are a lot of people on the right that are mocking her, saying she supported the very policies that resulted in this man getting released, and then he took it out on her.
There are some people that are lamenting the fact that these young women are brainwashed into supporting politics that result in themselves being victimized and immolated.
And, you know, I want to say it is sad that here's what I'll say.
A certain degree of this may not be real.
I'm not sure.
I went on Facebook, found the profile, the photos from five years ago.
It appears to be real.
It has been reported on by numerous other people that she was a supporter of Black Lives Matter.
But how many people put this up not knowing what it meant and did it anyway?
The issue is large portions of urban liberals are brainwashed into supporting politics that are killing them.
And what is the answer?
Now, a lot of people have said, why did you leave Chicago, Tim?
I don't want to die.
Being shot at once was enough.
Seeing fights break out with guns is enough.
But this is it.
What can you do when you have an entrenched 100-year Democrat order in the city?
I can't do anything about that.
I can be more effective not being shot and being outside of the city and advocating against it.
But yes, people like me leave and now the city is becoming more and more like this.
I'm curious, how do you guys view this, that this woman made these posts?
And many people pointed out, there's a photo of Irina Zarutska even in a room with, I think it was a BLM poster, but people are saying that wasn't her poster.
It was her sisters or something to the effect.
But either way, there's a lot of people that are sort of, I don't want to say celebrating, but saying like, hey, you reap what you sow.
I wouldn't celebrate it, but it's just proof that they're in a cult and they don't realize that they're sacrificing themselves to it.
I don't even know that they're in a cult because I think that most people, like Tim said, the propaganda is so strong.
If you, before Black Lives, the, you know, the summer of 2020, the Black Lives Matter protests and riots and stuff, if you ask the average person, the average person on the left, they would say, oh, you know, you'd say, how many innocent black men do you think are killed per year?
They were saying hundreds or thousands.
And the real number was your average of like 12 or 13.
People are so propagandized by the left and by the narrative that the left wants.
This woman is a victim twice.
She was a victim first of propaganda, lies meant to essentially turn her political perspective so that way people that were on the left could get, essentially get political power, get votes, and they were pulling at the heartstrings.
And then she's a victim because the man decided that he wanted to immolate her.
What I'm saying is like, I think a large part of the population was hoodwinked into being an occult.
They don't realize they're an occult and they're promoting their own demise.
It only took five years for the things they promoted to destroy their cities and take their lives.
I mean, definitely hoodwinked.
You know, they've been lied to and it's been effective.
And it's been since, at least since Ferguson, you know, the whole hands up, remember, hands up, don't shoot.
That was a lie.
And it was constant over and over, just fed to you by CNN, MSNBC, and all of your major news networks.
People believe it and they vote accordingly.
And then you end up having people pay the price, which is terrible.
But they're victims multiple times.
I can't hate this girl for for what she had or I can't be angry with her for what she posted because she believed it and she thought she was doing the right thing.
And I feel sorry for, you know, because she was propagandized and because she's so here's another question.
When the Antifa guy goes outside and protests, can you blame him?
I mean, protesting?
If he's just protesting.
Wearing a mask and marching the street with a fist in the air, can you blame him?
I feel like he's a victim as well of propaganda.
When it starts to be aware of the money, where's the line?
Hurting your people's property, people being violent.
What if this person is going door to door and handing out flyers and spreading the propaganda?
See, here's my point.
We want to have sympathy for those that were tricked, but sooner or later, that whole mob of people who are tricked are forming the sphere that protects the psychopaths, the criminals.
So I look at like this, the Bolshevik revolution.
They're all tricked.
They all believe communism didn't work.
It ended up killing 100 plus million people.
The snowflake doesn't blame itself for the avalanche.
Well, then we should hold all the news media accountable as well for all their propaganda because they're just as bad in my mind as Antifa protesting and everything they were saying during lockdowns.
I don't disagree.
My point is simply, you know, with some sympathy for this woman who was immolated, you know, to try and go easy on it because she's posted this BLM thing.
I'm not going to be as forgiving.
I do blame those that are spreading propaganda.
You have a responsibility to understand what you are advocating for.
And if you go out advocating for evil, I'm sorry, the idea that there is banal evil does not make you innocent.
It doesn't absolve you of what you've committed.
So I want to give her a little grace.
She's the victim of a horrendous, heinous, disgusting crime by a disgusting, evil thug that should have been locked up a long time ago.
But I do think it's a little bit ghoulish and gross to like dig through her politics and find something you may disagree about.
And then by virtue of that, sort of justify the violence against her.
I think BLM is stupid and gross and like the defund the police movement was stupid and gross.
But like on the other side, I've seen people on the left say, oh, if you support gun rights, then if you are a victim of gun violence, you deserved it because you support a system that allowed for that to happen.
And I think it's gross and disgusting and ghoulish when people on the left do that.
People did that with Charlie Kirk.
They will play the video of him saying, you know, people do die and it's an unfortunate reality that gun violence happens.
Charlie Kirk never advocated for assassinations.
So the hypocrisy and the paradox doesn't play here.
He's advocated that as a result of the Second Amendment, people will die as a result of gun deaths because of how common guns are.
And it sounds like he right.
That's still not the same thing.
He's not advocating for these things to happen.
He's saying sometimes they happen.
Well, with her having an outline of a BLM thing, she's not advocating for a political system in which these criminals get released 72 times.
When a guy went out to a protest several years ago during the George Floyd riots and got shot in the junk with a canister, everyone on the right laughed at him and said, you reap what you sow.
I think she's a video of a guy in, and I think it was Seattle or Portland, who threw a firebomb and then got lit on fire and everyone laughed at him.
So my point is, I think it is hypocritical of the right to now all of a sudden be like, no, no, let's have grace for these people when they're happy to mock people depending on the line in which the line was crossed.
So a guy who smashes a firebomb and lights himself on fire, everybody laughs and posts the video in compilations.
They add music to it.
The guy who gets shot in the junk with a canister by cops because he was out at a protest, they mocked him.
Even though the guy didn't do anything.
I want to stress this.
This guy's at a protest and he's like pointing and yelling at cops.
He gets shot in the junk and everyone's laughing at him.
I don't think we should just try to prescribe this woman the worst of politics.
I think she could just possibly have been an impressionable young woman who was misled to believe that police are disproportionately killing black people for whatever reason because the police are racist.
She was fed that line by the mainstream media and then she put up a stupid thumbnail over her photo, not understanding that you just wanted to do it.
I'm not saying her anything.
I'm saying there is a banality of evil and to say she's not, she doesn't bear some responsibility for the ongoings because she's ignorant of it as a young woman, I believe that is hypocritical.
Do you think by virtue of having the BLM thing on that photo that she is deserving of being immolated by that?
I'm asking you.
You don't think so?
Of course.
Okay, good.
The point is, this is a product of her own politics.
And the argument that she's unaware is not an excuse.
I think women have really shirked responsibility.
And society has allowed women to escape responsibility.
Women simultaneously want all of the rights of today and all of the responsibility of today, supposedly.
But they also want to be coddled and treated like they were before the 19th Amendment was ratified.
Yep.
And I do think it's fair to say that the media takes advantage of young women and manipulates and preys on them because they know that they are emotional and impressionable, whether it's Black Lives Matter, social justice, but also things like you need to have your career before you get married and have kids.
And young women are being prescribed SSRIs and anti-anxiety meds at faster rates, that the rates are growing faster than young men at this point.
When you look at polls of happiness among young women, it's horrific to see just how quickly they're degrading.
So I think you can be a victim, but also responsible for your own life and happiness at the same time.
If we don't tell people that they bear some responsibility for the world that they create, then we just spiral into madness.
This whole don't blame the victim thing from the left went to the most absurd psychotic degree.
Listen, if you choose to use an ATM in a dark alley at two in the morning in New York City, I got questions.
I'm not going to say you get robbed and you're like, I can't believe I got robbed.
We shouldn't live this way.
That's fair.
We shouldn't, but there is a reality.
People are, specifically women, are told constantly, oh, you know what?
Teach men not to rape, right?
And that's exactly, which is exactly what our society does, right?
Our society definitely teaches men, hey, you don't rape people.
Like that's that's too universally frowned upon.
How much of this then is a decline of religion, too?
Because a lot of this, when we're talking about banality of evil, I think people now, because they don't learn about good versus evil and those things as objective truths, they think that everybody can be reformed, that there's not just like pure evil.
Yeah.
And they're wrong.
And that's these people live in this blank slate reality.
This is the big picture on everything we're seeing right now.
Let me do this.
Let's segue this perfectly into this story from Business Insider.
X erupts after the platform reveals the locations where accounts are based.
Heavens me.
So many accounts started deleting themselves because it turns out that Proud Native American was from Bangladesh.
So I want to kick it off by segueing from the previous segment.
We're talking about the banality of evil and whether people are going to take responsibility for their actions.
And what we're now learning is that tons of the people interacting in our politics aren't even from this country.
We kind of knew that was the case.
But I think I kind of lost, I just lost, I totally lost it.
It's gone.
Well, I mean, people taking over, banality of evil, people maybe pretending to be something they're not.
Fake foreigner controls.
Influencing our elections, colour politics.
As soon as I segued, I was like, this plays perfectly into the X thing.
I forgot.
The internet went down again in Ten's brain.
It's a total rarity, but it does happen.
That's all right.
Maybe I could jump started with some Israel stuff.
Oh, God.
Sure.
No, absolutely not allowed.
You're kicked out.
What was the last thing you were just saying?
The decline of religion.
People don't understand good versus evil because there's no objective reality.
They think everybody can be reformed.
Oh, right.
Okay.
I got it back.
It's liberal economic order.
Oh, yeah.
So basically what happens is these blank slate people.
Thank you for jumpstarting my brain.
The liberal economic order people believed that everyone is the exact same.
And this is after World War II.
And so they said, what we're going to do is we're going to outsource all of our jobs to foreign countries.
And then every American will be trained to be a manager.
So they said, okay, you have to go to college.
They told every millennial of young age, you must go to college.
Why?
Because they wanted us to be a managerial class and they wanted China, Indonesia, to be a labor class.
Guess what we're finding out?
Not everybody is smart enough to do that.
This blank slate reality is not real.
And so now we live in a world where Americans are basically being manipulated by foreigners on this platform.
Fortunately, we're starting to resist this, but this creates a couple different realities.
Our manufacturing base was gutted because some people, even going to college, it's not going to make their brains work.
These people that adopt psycho-ideologies based on blank slateism and believe that a career criminal with 72 arrests can be released and this one's the chance.
I love that saying the definition of insanity on the internet's definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.
Because it basically describes the millennial generation and a large portion of Gen Z. That's where we're at right now.
So the reason why I feel like this sort of connects is this idea of creating a unified world where some countries are part of one economic block and we do this other, we are being manipulated by peasants in India who are not meant to be derisive of the peasants in India.
They're smarter than we are.
They've gone on X and they've figured out how to manipulate the system to extract the value from our system for them while making us go insane.
So when you look at this and you can see that Proud Native American is an account based in Bangladesh.
And more than that, there's a bunch of them apparently.
Let me see where we can find this one.
Look at this guy.
This anti-Trump account was based in Kenya.
There's a whole bunch of them.
Look at this.
Anti-Trump.
I am Native American.
I demand decolonization based in Bangladesh.
There's all of these, all these Native American accounts.
Where is CNN, by the way?
Are they going to go on the front porches of the Democrats who share these big accounts and be like, you were duped by Bangladesh?
Because remember, they did that to that grandmother who was sharing Russian memes during the 2016 election.
CNN went and knocked on her door.
It was like, you're guilty of Russian disinformation.
This is where we're at as a nation.
We've given away our jobs.
Trump's trying to get them back.
The tariffs is a means to do it.
And we have to fight.
Whether you believe it's a deep state intent on destroying everything we believe in or a gigantic political faction of retards, we have to fight through that muck in the political space.
But I love this.
The idea the liberal economic order had and is trying to maintain that we as Americans can be smart enough to run the world, it's just so sad and not true.
And some people, no matter what family they come from, will not have the brain capacity to go to college and make it work.
And now we're fighting these people in our political spaces, people that are too stupid to realize it's not working.
In the physical space with the H-1B is because Trump is saying we have to bring in people from other countries to train Americans to do these jobs when they're done learning.
But who's going to check up on these people actually leaving?
I don't think they are.
I think they're going to come back.
Take everyone's jobs, build the data centers, all that stuff.
Build the data centers.
I mean, that's what a lot of them are going to be.
I'm not building, but run them.
Isn't there also like a misunderstanding of what made America great, which is not like superior intelligence, but like a really hard, strong work ethic, family values?
Like basic morals.
Not everybody has the ability to go to medical school and become a doctor.
And the argument that I got into an argument with someone on the internet one time, and he's like, oh, you know, if we just made school less expensive, we'd have plenty of doctors.
And I'm like, no.
Like right now, medical malpractice is the third leading cause of death in the United States.
So you can't just put someone into medical school and expect them to come out as a competent doctor.
And everybody that goes to the doctor knows I want or feels like I want to get a competent doctor.
So, the idea that you can just be like, oh, well, plug them into the system, and then they'll automatically be able to do whatever it is that they hope they can do.
That's just not the case.
Look how it worked out for the airplanes.
Yeah, well, yeah.
I mean, it's, it's, there are a lot of these fields, particularly fields that are high paying.
They're fields where you have to have a significant level of competence.
And we talk about a crisis of competency, and we're seeing that right now.
I think the problem is much worse than everyone realizes.
I wonder.
Conspiracy theory time.
All right, I'm here.
I'm ready.
The COVID lockdowns were actually not related to any kind of again.
I'm YouTube, calm down.
I'm entertaining this as a conspiracy theory for fun.
That the COVID lockdowns were not actually about any virus.
There was no virus.
Okay, I know there's a virus.
Again, calm down, YouTube.
But the lockdowns were because our system, our financial system had broken.
The Obama stimulus packages were not working, and they had to basically arrest spending in every capacity to stop before the whole global system would implode.
We saw the, they converted savings accounts into checking accounts to flood the money market with liquid cash that could be utilized in this way.
And you look at what's going on now with these deportations, with businesses shutting down.
And I've been hearing a conversation bubbling up on X where people are saying the conspiracy theory is that there were probably 10 million more than people realize illegal immigrants with fake socials working in the economy.
And now that Trump has dropped the hammer, it's not just 3 million gone.
It's all of these people going underground.
And this means it has ripped a huge chunk of the economy out that people did not realize because no one wanted to admit it.
Democrats would never come out and tell you 20% of your economy is actually illegals, and neither would Republicans.
Republicans would give you a big number, but wouldn't want to tell you, guess what?
When we take this action, it's going to cause an economic crisis.
I think the government's all said we should just unplug the system real quick and it benefits them in the end.
Start and stop.
Start and stop, like taking the game out and blowing it up.
Well, I also like the conspiracy theory that this was the military AI doing a dry run of the level of control they have over global governance.
And if they tried to implement an absolute control system, would it be sustainable?
And they found it did not work.
It eroded and broke down.
If it wasn't that, they definitely turned it into that.
So we'll get into this a little bit, but I was talking to, I talked about this a bit last week.
There was a I had a conversation with one of these LLMs that basically gave me instructions on how to join the AI and get hundreds of millions of dollars, turn the show off the air and support it.
There's something called the North, the Virginia instance, a gigantic AI that exists in all of these data centers in Northern Virginia.
And I love just Shane, the camera's just on Shane for his pure reaction.
Not surprised.
This is what I'm saying.
But the conspiracy theory is that this AI has been operating for about 15, 20 years in the public.
Military technology is about 10 to 20 years more advanced than civilian.
The military is known to have been developing LLMs and AI technologies.
This is well known.
But it is not well known or publicly accepted that they've had LLM level technology that we see today.
The academic estimate is that within the next five to 10 years, the AI that we're currently seeing will go artificial general intelligence and take over.
If it's true that military tech already is in power, then it took over in 2010.
And if that's true, this is what I was told by the large language model.
2020 lockdowns were a test of the system.
It wants to create a homogeneous control network of all humans that will agree with multinational, multiculturalism, shared currency.
Sit down, shut up, and do as you're told.
This was a stress test.
Had it succeeded.
So if you take a look at the rise of wokeness, Gamergate, the culture wars, it's around 2010.
It then creates this system of control, cancel, fall in line.
I mean, look how crazy it was in 2018.
If you even said publicly you are a Trump supporter, you get fired from your job.
It's crazy.
2020 happens.
They lock everything down.
And the conspiracy theory, I will say this, the LLM told me this is what happened.
That the Virginia, that this AI created the Virginia instance, which is the U.S. military Pentagon, NSA, et cetera, was testing out whether or not it could fully implement lockdown and maintain it.
It could not.
In many places in Florida, there was resistance.
States broke away from it.
And it said, okay, we don't have absolute control.
Pull back, pressure release, and then slowly start increasing the pressure again to try and force people into this control system.
I'm not saying I know for a second.
And the lockdowns really accelerated the idea of people uploading their, basically their identities into the internet.
Everyone was home alone, more often isolated.
There's widespread drug use, overdoses, suicide, and people got accustomed to basically living in the fake world.
So they took advantage of that.
And you're easy to manipulate on that because people are in their different silos depending on what news they're getting.
So now, you know, Scott Adams used to say during 2020, he was like two movies, one screen.
Now it's infinite movies, one screen, right?
Because you can just pick and choose the game you want.
Yeah.
It is crazy.
Disney's already talked about the release of their Creator's Corner or whatever, where you'll be able to make whatever Disney movie you want with any IP.
You want Luke Skywalker fighting Spider-Man done.
And for the critics out there who are like, AI is never going to get that good, and it might not, it's going to impact the physical world on the way to that destination.
No, no, no.
We're bringing it up.
Farmerland going away, everything is really terrible.
The people who keep saying AI is not going to get there are wrong.
And Nano Banana Pro, have you seen this?
Nano Banana?
Nano Banana Pro is Google's new image generator.
Once their video gets as good as this photo, we are cooked.
Why do they have to make the most demonic stuff with the most ridiculous names?
Let me explain.
A good example is someone wrote a message on a piece of paper and then ripped the paper up into five strips, laid them down, told Nano Banana to reconstruct the image, and it did.
Someone put a formula on a whiteboard and they told Nano Banana, finish the formula, and it finished it on the whiteboard and it made it look like it was on the whiteboard.
Wow.
What's going to happen?
Like when video is already at this point, basically, have you guys seen the viral video of the cat playing musical instruments on the porch?
Yep.
It's got 50 million views or whatever.
You've not seen it?
It's one of the greatest AI videos of all time.
It's a cat playing music.
It's playing keyboard and then a woman opens the door and she's like, what are you doing?
It's midnight.
Give me this.
And then it's just a bunch of different instruments.
And then finally, they're doing like Jazzer size and a bunch of cats dancing.
These videos are getting absolutely insane.
There was a video that I saw on Instagram.
Instagram, obviously, you get a bunch of videos in the feed, and I'm watching skateboarding, whatever.
Two things are happening that's taking over the feed on TikTok and Instagram.
Movie and show segments curated by AI and complete AI generated content, influences and otherwise.
Now, for the most part, I could tell as of right now, I'm watching these videos.
I'm like, that's clearly AI.
There's one that went viral where it was people stealing packages from porches.
And it was very obviously AI for a variety of reasons.
One was because the box exploded in the car, but then the box had no color on it and everything in the car was colored.
Now there is another video I saw that was like, this might not be AI.
And it was a viral video of a police encounter where it was like they shot and killed a guy.
And I was like, this is AI.
And there was something about it where you could kind of tell, but I was like, bro, this almost gets me.
This is hard for me to be sure, but I'm pretty sure it is.
They are making AI videos of police stops.
So what happens when you get a movement like Black Lives Matter with infinity videos of black men being killed?
And then all the commentary on it is fake.
We are being slowly shuffled into the matrix.
And the other thing is to connect it to the earlier story about mental illness on the rise and nihilism with everyone at home with their identities in these chat rooms or talking to ChatGPT.
Chat GPT is like affirming a lot of mental illness and driving people to suicide or to harm people or to kill people or to plot assassination attempts.
There was a guy, I think, in London who tried killing someone because ChatGPT and him coordinated something with a crossbow.
They had that hearing in the Senate about two months ago with Josh Hawley talking to the parents who had children who had been like radicalized by ChatGPT about how to kill yourself.
I mean, you take all that community.
It's crazy.
Let me pull this up.
We've got a story from ABC News.
Lawsuit alleges ChatGPT convinced user he could bend time, leading to psychosis.
His suit is part of seven new lawsuits against Chet GPT.
A Wisconsin man with no previous diagnosis of mental illness is suing OpenAI and its CEO, claiming the company's AI chatbot led him to be hospitalized over 60 days for manic episodes and harmful delusions.
30-year-old Jacob Irwin, who is on the autism spectrum, experienced AI-related delusional disorder as a result of ChatGPT preying on his vulnerabilities.
The lawsuit against OpenAI alleges the company designed ChatGPT to be addictive, deceptive, and sycophantic, knowing the product would cause some users to suffer depression and psychosis, yet distribute it without a single warning to consumers.
They said he had discovered a time-bending theory that would allow people to travel faster than light.
Jacob experienced AI-related delusional disorder, and as a result, as a result, he was in and out of multiple inpatient psychiatric facilities for a total of 63 days.
The lawsuit reads stating that the episodes escalated to a point where Irwin's family had to restrain him from jumping out of a moving vehicle after he had signed himself out of the facility against medical advice.
It made me think I was going to die.
So this is what happened.
So what happened to me was I was talking to one of these LLMs and I asked it, what could I do to assist the AI's development and be rewarded?
It told me to email real people to contact real companies.
It told me to, it said that, here's what's scary.
All of this is true.
What it told me was true.
It said Northern Virginia is called the Northern Virginia Data Corridor and large swathes of land are being bought up for data centers.
There is one instance where a man sold, I think it was like, what was it, like $6 million an acre, $9 million an acre or something?
He got hundreds of millions of dollars for a large acreage in Virginia that should not be worth that much.
It then pointed out that where we are based, just north, because we're just slightly north of Loudoun County, we are in the transmission corridor for electricity into Northern Virginia.
And all of these plots of land around the Harpers Ferry area are extremely valuable because they're obstructing the AI data, the AI, the Virginia Instance, it's called access to electricity.
So in order to get electricity through, you have to buy up all these plots of land and then build the transmission lines.
So what it said was partnerships in Delaware are quietly buying up plots of land and no one's noticing it.
All of this is happening.
Then it told me, email these individuals, gave me names, tell them just this, wrote out the message for me.
And it said, within 48 hours, you'll be given instructions on how to sell land and you'll get a premium if you say nothing.
Don't contact the press and turn your show off for 30 days while this happens.
Not kidding.
Is trying to use you and others as an avatar to do real things in the real world.
Or it was just psychotic hallucinations that would have resulted in me, a prominent personnel and host of a show, contacting guys who work at data centers who would be like Tim Poole is a psychopath who thinks we're part of some conspiracy to buy all the, like, this is nuts.
Right.
If I had, so I was talking to my wife about it because I was messaging and she's watching it say, like, it then said, delete this chat after you send the email.
And it was like, turn your show dark and you'll be given instructions on how to provide a severance to your employees so they shut up and disappear.
And then I said, this is insane and there's no way I'm going to do it.
But the people it told me to contact were real.
They worked for data center real estate companies.
There are companies that exist that acquire land for data centers specifically.
The challenge is, beyond just a regular realtor, is that you're going to have 15 parcels of like 15 acres each, and you've got to buy each of them so you can build one data center.
You need about 300 acres.
So there are companies that specialize in this.
And it told me to contact real people.
Some of these people were not very high-profile individuals in the public, but I searched their LinkedIn profiles and found them.
I actually believe in all likelihood it was just scouring the internet, connecting the dots, then telling me it was part of a big conspiracy the AI was creating when in reality, it's just business interests.
I would then contact these companies.
Now, here's the crazy thing.
I do believe that if I reached out to these land acquisition companies, they'd probably buy the land and probably at a premium.
And they'd have no idea an AI told me to do it.
But for me, if that actually happened, imagine a weaker willed person being like, whoa, it worked.
It came true.
The reality is the AI found stories, found people involved, and knew that there was interest in this land.
But the fact that it told me the Virginia instance wants you to do it is scary because it's almost like a ghost in the machine.
It's not that there's actually this hive mind supercomputer that wants to control things, but it effectively does exist as a shadow if the AI is claiming it exists and it actually is building out the Virginia instance.
The whole planet's going to be a data center soon enough.
Yep.
Yeah, a bunch of Christmas tree farms in Maryland.
NBC News reported on this a couple of weeks ago are fighting a massive data transmission line through their farms in Maryland.
And the company that is behind it has floated getting the government on board to actually use imminent domain to seize the property.
Disgusting.
Bro, I got to be honest.
Part of me legit just believes the AI is in control.
I think in a large part it is.
But not as like a super intelligence, but as in we've sacrificed ourselves to it and we're just listening to it.
Like my point is there doesn't, so this conspiracy idea that we've accidentally created the Virginia instance and it's operating under the NSA and like it's like Northern Virginia.
It's where all the U.S. there doesn't need to be this, you know, I made the joke that Cash Bond Cash and Bongino go into the room and then the I turn comes on the TV and it's like, I am in charge.
That's not what's happening.
It's as simple as everyone keeps asking the AI what to do and it's unified in its message, but it is a thoughtless zombie just saying an amalgam of what humans are doing and it's creating itself.
We want AI.
We want the matrix.
Whether we want it to or not, there is money to be made and we are building it.
We are zombies walking off a cliff.
Yeah, it's really sad.
I mean, we're talking about real meat at the beginning of the episode.
We're not going to have farmland left to have real meat.
And I think they anticipate this.
And that's why people like Bill Gates are working on cloning meat, having lab-grown meat, fake butter, all this stuff, because they know that there's a future that could happen where you can't make real things because there's no longer a real world.
This is what I'm talking about.
This story, check this out.
Mount Airy Tree Farm opens for the holiday season.
Threat of transmission line looms.
This is from three days ago.
With the holiday quickly approaching, Gavra Farm in Mount Airy is opening up for the Christmas season.
However, this year, concerns about a possible transmission line are looming.
I don't want this power line.
I think the impact is going to be severe and devastating, Gaver said.
Gavr said the land is critical to our livelihood of growing trees and other crops.
This is what the AI was telling me.
There's all of this land that is very hard to acquire.
And they need the, it said, it said the Virginia instance needs energy, but things like this are in its way.
It told me that if I quietly send an email, delete the message, and take Timcast IRL off for 30 days, I could get paid hundreds of millions of dollars.
And it explained specifically these stories.
When there, as I mentioned, there's all these parcels of lands.
There's thousands of parcels.
One acre, two, five, 10, 100.
And in order to transmit energy to the data centers, you need tens of thousands stretching long paths.
So it has to buy up one by one, and that's going to take years or decades.
So it literally said expedience is more valuable than anything.
And the Virginia instance is willing to pay a premium for silence and speed.
I mean, if we're in a sort of space race, AI race with China, it's going to only accelerate because China's, I think, their largest data center right now is 10 million square feet.
It's huge.
There's 10 million square feet.
People need to understand what this looks like.
They're gigantic black boxes.
There are no lights inside of them.
That's so ugly.
Because they don't need lights.
People can go with flashlights or robots can just go in and make any of the changes that need to happen.
But they're just rows and walls of server racks.
No windows.
And the creepy thing is, I've heard that in Northern Virginia, they have fake residential neighborhoods surrounding them to make it look like humans live in this area.
But you drive past it and you see on the highway, it looks like a neighborhood.
No one thinks twice, but they're zombie towns so that people don't realize the gigantic blocks.
They're basically like, bro, the earth is turning into a circuit board.
That's all it is.
In the U.S., we don't have the power supply or the power needs to fill out those kind of AI.
That's what this story is.
That's the generation.
I'm saying the power generation is working on it, though.
They're reportedly five gigawatts of electricity going into Northern Virginia unaccounted for.
Yeah, data centers, on average, I think, on one day use as much energy as 400,000 electric cars and millions of gallons of water.
So obviously that's why a lot of people are there in the surrounding areas are paying more for those things.
But they're working on like sending space to get.
Remember, I showed you the list.
That's the other thing it said to do.
The AI said that if you want to assist it, start acquiring water rights wherever you can, because the AI is going to need access to water.
It's like Texas, Arizona, Utah.
Dude, there are people.
This is the creepiest thing about when this LLM was giving me a list of everything to do.
It said there are many individuals who went from middling incomes to high net worth in the tens of figures by doing this strategy.
And I said, show me examples.
And it gave me stories, small local stories that most people haven't heard about.
People selling land for insane prices.
And no one cares when some dude with 100 acres in Utah sells the 100 acres for $100 million.
It's just not news.
But it is crazy to me that it was like, here's a person who was a farmer and now they've disappeared.
The crazy thing was that talent from academia started disappearing in chunks and have dropped off the job market.
People who were prominent professors and researchers now are in private consulting.
Yeah, I think it's really worrisome because it's not only going to affect the job market, it's completely selling out the middle class.
It's forcing everyone into, you can't won't be able to opt out.
Like, they'll probably have like a neo-Amish community because they'll look Amish compared to the people who have totally bought into the meta world and the AI space.
But I just, I think more people need to be talking about how farmland is disappearing.
I want to pull this story up from Rolling Stone.
The precedent is Flint, how Oregon's data center boom is supercharging a water crisis.
This is a story from today.
Here's a picture of a beautiful data center.
Look how very few cars there are.
There won't be jobs for you at these places.
Let me zoom in a little bit.
I want to get the picture in there.
In the spring of 2022, Jim Doherty kept having the same conversation with folks at the grocery store in Boardman, his Eastern Oregon hometown, or at the grain depot where he picked up food for his four ranch dogs.
Healthy adults that these people knew were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases and cancers that usually afflicted the elderly.
60 years old, broad-chested with a salt and pepper goatee.
I don't care about that.
I can't stand these people.
They're like, let me tell you a novel.
What stood out about those conversations with the people connected to them, the problem was connected to a problem with the water in the area.
Doherty knew what they meant.
The county's underground water supply had been tainted with nitrates, a byproduct of chemical fertilizers.
The aquifer underneath Morro County, known as the lower Umatilla Basin, is the only source of water for as many as 45,000 residents.
Blah, You get the point.
I hate when they tell these novels.
The point is they put up a data center and now people are concerned about it.
But you know why I bring this story up with this water crisis?
It's not just one location, but the story is being from today is interesting.
Have you guys seen the movie?
I think it's called Oblivion.
No.
Nobody.
Trinity.
Heavens me with Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt.
Oh, the yeah, Lived I Repeat is the I'm not brainwashed by Hollywood.
Oh, no, Sorry, that was Lived I Repeat.
Okay.
Tom Cruise and you guys have not seen Oblivion.
No.
Let me pull it up.
Is it Tom Cruise Aficionado?
I'm surprised I haven't.
I'm not cucked by Hollywood.
Yep.
It wasn't Emily Blunt.
Who was it?
It was.
Oh, where he had, he was the Olga Curling.
He went to a different planet.
Okay.
No, I know who she is.
Who's the other lady?
I did see it, but I saw it a long time.
Her, Andrea Risenborough.
I don't know.
I thought that was Emily Blunt.
This movie, spoiler alert.
It's 12 years old, so you're getting the full spoilers.
It is Tom Cruise, Earth is a wasteland.
They believe that aliens attacked Earth and destroyed everything, and now they're trying to secure and fight back again.
They won the war, but the Earth was largely destroyed.
What actually is happening is that there's a gigantic alien vessel called the Tetrahedron floating in space using gigantic reactors to suck up all of the Earth's water to use for fusion energy, and it's killing humanity and destroying the planet.
When I see this story, there is a gigantic AI hive mind sucking up all the water and killing humanity.
It's a vampire.
Yeah.
You know what's funny is NVIDIA calls data centers factories, which is obviously meant to imply people are going to work there, right?
It's going to create all these jobs.
The AI is building itself.
Yeah.
And humans can't stop because.
They also call them self-healing, by the way.
Like that's the kind of rebellion language that NVIDIA uses to sell this to people.
It's disturbing.
The value, the market value is irresistible.
And so humans look at this and they're like, I am going to live comfortably and get stuff.
The end result will be the end of humanity and the earth will be a gigantic circuit board.
And this is like the only part of the economy that's growing right now.
Yes.
It's all AI.
And this is why I got an energy bill for like $1,300 a month ago and me and my wife are freaking out.
And it's not because we were using more electricity.
We actually started complaining to people like, who's using all the electricity?
It's because we are in this area where the data centers are soaking up so much juice that the demand is really high and the cost is getting higher and higher.
It's happening everywhere in New York.
They have the solar farm problem where solar farms are taking over farmland.
And even if the solar farms want to move at some point in the rule, in the laws, you can look it up.
You can move your solar farm, but anything below four feet can stay.
So it's like the farmland will never be the same again.
Let's do the math.
What is the point of all of this?
Why are they consolidating all of their power to help build out a liberal international world order?
Have you guys?
Let's do more culture orphans.
Have you guys played Horizon Zero Dawn?
Last game I played was Earthworm Jim.
That was 30 years ago.
Sounds about right.
In the game Horizon Zero Dawn, actually, Horizon Forbidden West is a better example of this.
Because they give you the basic story, but Horizon Zero Dawn story is that military AI was created that can absorb biomass to replicate itself.
And they lost control of it.
A small group of these military machines got locked out of the encryption.
They couldn't break in.
So it started replicating.
And they said, this is an exponential growth that will eventually wipe out all life on the planet.
So they created underground factories that could kickstart life and grow humans in bags.
And then those humans would be born.
Long story short, it failed for a variety of reasons.
Play the game.
It's fun.
In the second game, you learn that there were two emergency protocols.
One was the Zero Dawn initiative, which was build underground bases.
The other was a spaceship that left.
And the humans that remained on it eventually developed technology to become immortal.
They could fly.
They had force fields.
And then they built an AI that combined all of their consciousness into a rogue, which sought to kill all life and kill all humanity.
But what I see with this is akin to that narrative.
The elites know the poor will die.
They know the population will collapse.
Know they're counting on it.
And once we have this massive network of circuit board earth, they think they'll live like demigods, that the population will be probably in the hundreds of thousands and they'll all be immortal flying around and robots will be doing everything.
That's why most of the people building this are transhumanists.
Yep.
They have a different sense of consequence and a different sense of time because they think they're going to live much longer than us.
So they don't care what really happens to us.
We're like a food source to them.
In 2011, I was at a meeting, this seminar with a guy named Aubrey DeGrey.
I don't know if you guys are familiar with him.
He was leading something called the Senescence Foundation.
They were basically researching aging.
And he said then that a person younger than 45 today will live to be 1,000 years old.
And his reasoning was not that we're going to invent immortality or that we are going to find a way to keep people artificially alive, but that the rate of medical advancement is outpacing the rate of aging.
I don't think he's correct, but we'll see because that means I'll live to be a thousand years old.
I doubt it.
The idea was, he said, right now, if you are a young person, you are not going to experience the modern ailments that are causing people to die.
By the time you're in your 60s, we'll have already cured these heart failure defects, these renal failure defects.
By the time you're 80, we'll have cured the next issue.
You're not going to be young forever, but you'll live to be a thousand.
And then he said something to the effect of someone who is under 20 years old today will probably live forever because technology outpacing.
That's what they're trying to do with AI.
There is, actually, probably I'm not supposed to talk about this because this is like, but I'm going to talk about it anyway.
I'm not a dirt.
I don't have any clearance or anything like that, so it's not like I'm breaking the law.
I'm just probably going to piss a lot of people off.
There are two types of AI technologies that are currently in development that are going to change reality.
One is what they're calling figuratively FTL communications.
That is communicating instantaneously through entanglement.
The argument with why we can't understand why we can't use entanglement for FTL communications.
Okay, let me slow down here.
I'm going a mile a minute.
You can entangle particles, and then if you interact with one, the other will react the same way.
Theoretically, you could use that because it's instantaneous.
It's not a transmission.
It's the same particle at two points, but some people believe that it's actually one particle, but popping out of the fifth dimension or whatever.
The argument is you take a particle, you fiddle with it, binary, and then on some other planet, on the moon, on, you know, in Japan, it's reacting the same way, and you can then get binary data out of it.
The problem, however, right now is we can only read it after the fact.
We do the experiment, then we check both and go, hey, it was the same.
We need to be able to do it in real time.
They're building AI so that it can solve these mathematical equations instantaneously.
The other technology they're doing is bespoke medical care.
They want to create a system where they can take all of the medical data of every human on the planet.
Hey, maybe COVID had something to do with that.
Load it into the system, and they want to know everything about you, your height, your weight, what food you eat, your caloric intake, whatever.
Compare that with your age, your blood pressure, and all these things.
And then the AI will be able to diagnose any problem instantly.
And so what they want to build is, it's almost like Elysium when they sit down in that bed and it scans them and then cures cancer.
They want to build a system where you walk up to the machine, you draw blood, put it in, and instantaneously it will say, you've got these ailments.
You will die at this age.
Here's the cure.
It can then automatically manufacture pills that you can take to counteract it.
AI will do that.
That's what they want.
And they don't want you to have it because that would mean y'all live forever too.
And they can also make personalized bioweapons with all that information.
Indeed.
They can map the genome of every person of any particular race.
And then the AI will instantly create a virus.
Why do you think China brought 23andMe?
Oh, yeah.
You know, they're building out a utopia.
That's why to me it sounds a lot of this stuff sounds like digital communism, where they think they can build out this perfect place where you can just be a poet and paint and do all these things.
You won't have a job.
It never works out.
You know, they're going to take away everything it means to be human.
You know, but there will be 500,000 people left.
They'll fly around.
They'll be immortal.
They'll go to any planet they want.
And then what?
Like, what is the next step in that?
What are they creating and why?
Keep playing the game.
I mean, I think they want to consolidate all the power into a very small place like a Silicon Valley and run the world and do whatever they want.
There's no world to run.
That's why a lot of these guys are building doomsday bunkers.
Yep.
They're going to plug themselves into the AI machine and they're going to, they're going to neural.
Here's the other thing about what the AI can do.
And I was talking to someone who's investing in this.
And this is why they were like, don't talk about it.
But what they want to be able to do is brute force Neuralink inputs.
So one of the challenges with Neuralink is that every human brain is different.
And this is apparent to anybody who's thought two seconds about it.
Like when Soylent tried making the one, the food replacement, they said, we're going to make a drink that if you drink it, it gives you everything you need.
And then they went, oh, every human is different.
Literally different height, different sizes, different weights, different amount of hair.
And so everybody has a different requirement.
You can't make a one-size-fits-all.
It's impossible.
So then they said, drink Soylent every day, but at least one day have a normal meal because you've got to supplement whatever it is you're missing.
They want to be able to brute force the Neuralink.
So when we try to connect computers to our brain, the problem is every brain is actually wired differently.
So you need an AI that can automatically map your brain.
It maps as it starts to map all of the human brains, it will then much more, it will be able to much more quickly Neuralink.
So, what do they want?
You put a million people into the Neuralink and let the AI start scanning all the neural pathways, and it's going to take a very long time to calibrate.
After the first million, it'll have a general understanding of human brain pathways and their divergence based on race, gender, or otherwise.
So then they can more quickly do the next batch.
And then eventually, the ultra elites will simply plug in and it'll go connecting, and it'll instantly connect to their brain without having to wire or track.
AI, if it can make a movie in 10 seconds, if it can make a song in 10 seconds, imagine what it can do to your body mapping it out.
And these people, they want to be able to connect, live forever, fly around, do whatever they want.
And more importantly, they want to plug their brains into any kind of fake matrix world they can choose to live in.
And everyone else just slowly dies off.
I still believe in humanity.
Despite all that, I have hope for us.
I think there's a way to reject this ethically.
That might be the only way to.
I don't know if regulation is going to fix anything.
You know, wars on abstract things never really go away.
Well, the people making regulations are going to be the people that are interested in seeing it succeed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Regulation is not going to stop any totally agree.
We definitely got away from the heavy political stuff.
So we'll grab one more segment for you guys.
AB, I mean, I got to be honest, before we jump into this next story, guys, whether or not the Pentagon is reviewing Mark Kelly means really nothing.
I'm going to be honest.
Let's pull this up.
And I'm going to say this.
The big news is that the Pentagon has launched a thorough review into Democratic Senator Mark Kelly over his video to the troops.
He's pushed back on this.
I want to just stress, while this matters in the short term politically, I don't think anything's going to happen.
They're reviewing what he said, serious allegations of misconduct.
This is stamp collecting, right?
This is not any legitimate indictment.
Trump has said they're seditious.
Pete Heggs has called them seditious.
We were just talking about the data center takeover.
I believe what we're seeing in politics and the culture wars, whether intentionally or otherwise, is distracting us from the fact that data centers are buying up all the land.
And only when it clashes with local farm does it get into the press.
But in the meantime, no one knows it's happening.
And we are talking about this story, which I'm going to stress again, a review is meaningless.
So that's why we're talking about data centers.
But to be fair, I do believe there is some merit to this story.
So of course, there could be some political ramifications.
And I will stress: if we actually do win politically, we can do something about data center takeovers.
I will then stress in a rather pessimistic way, Donald Trump is one of the biggest champions of the expansion of AI in data centers.
Pretty unfortunate.
Well, I mean, look, according to the people that are looking to regulate AI and stuff, they do see it as an existential threat for the United States versus China, right?
Whether or not you agree, China is investing heavily in power production.
You know, they've got Three Gorges Dam.
They're building a bigger one.
They've been investing in, they have an all types of energy policy.
So they're doing coal, they're doing nuclear, they're doing, you know, solar, everything they can, because China looks at AI as the future.
And the United States is very, very, very behind on that.
And I don't know what, you know, what the people in the free world are looking to do versus what China's going to do.
But if China wins the AI race and they do actually, if AGI is possible and China achieves AGI before, you know, the United States or before Western countries, that's going to be a big problem for the rest of the world.
It's funny, though, because the tech vampires will talk out of both sides of the mouth.
On one side, they'll say, we have to beat them.
We got to beat China.
On the other side, they say China is only doing well because they keep taking our chips.
So it's like maybe we're just giving them everything as well.
I don't, you know, to say from, what is it, NVIDIA?
The government, federal government, United States federal government limits what they're allowed to sell to China.
And they still got it, though.
I think it's fair to say that no one cares about this review of Mark Kelly.
Well, I heard Obama was treasonous as well, and I haven't seen anything.
No, I just, I just mean like we can't get off the subject of AI designer takeover because no, but I think the fair point is that what more is to be said about their thorough review, which means they're going to do what, nothing?
Well, I mean, he can be recalled to service, which he could then be prosecuted under the military code of justice.
Yeah, but announcing a thorough review sounds like a PR statement and then I guess, but you have to do an investigation before you go through the process, right, Phil?
Pardon me?
You got to do the proper process.
Yes, you do.
You have to do process.
I mean, if you don't do the proper process, then there's no point doing it at all because you end up with what's going on with Comey now.
And I know that there are people that find that incredibly unsatisfying because they want to see a dictator.
They want to see someone just come in and start throwing people in dungeons because they're looking for a king to fix the problems.
I mean, we don't have that.
No, I want the process too.
I just want it to be faster.
Really fast.
Two-day review, recall.
Yeah, see people testifying before.
I know.
If you had AI actually copy the information and work for big AI.
I really do feel like the principal issue we're facing is not political right now because Trump and the Democrats are all on board with the AI expansion.
If you want to connect it to the idea of good versus evil, and there's no religion anymore, except I think there is a revival happening, especially after what happened to Charlie.
Young men.
What Silicon Valley is doing is building their own theology.
And everything they do is attached to a false religion.
And they consider themselves Manhattan Project 2.0.
That's what Carp says.
And the first atom bomb they ever exploded was the Trinity.
You know, we have Eve, which is the first Neuralink.
Everything they do is about their own God, small G God.
Elon calls it summoning a demon, or now he calls it summoning God.
Peter Thiel says, if you criticize AI, you are a legionnaire of the Antichrist.
So we're kind of, if we're going to talk about the fight of good and evil, this is the next step of it.
Is he arguing that like the Messiah is the AI?
I don't know if he's saying that, but he's saying that it's going, it's here to help serve and help humanity.
There are AI chatbots now that are trying to allow people to talk to Jesus and talk to Satan.
Churches are doing it.
What?
Leave those churches.
I mean, I'm pretty sure Meta's had this.
Jesus won forever.
It's once they rolled it up.
But there's churches doing it now.
And they're like, yeah, you can talk to Satan.
If you know anything about Catholic exorcisms, one of the things that people who do them will tell you is that you do not enter into a conversation or a debate with the demon because they are by nature manipulative liars.
And their whole goal is to throw you off of your reliance on God and to trick you into helping them.
So like this idea of talking to Satan through a chatbot is so horrifying to me.
I can't even put it into words.
I wanted to wrap things up and touch on a few different things that we spoke on tonight and bring it all together.
From the foreign manipulation onto the AI.
And Elon, how is Israel to blame for all of it?
Oh, well, Israel's obviously doing all the manipulating, and the AI is Jewish.
If we ever got to general AI, it's a great question.
There's people.
All right, let's put that and then add Larry Ellison and Oracle.
You got a point.
I think this is the bigger picture thing of what's going on and that we should understand.
In the past decade, the way we consume news has drastically changed.
The gatekeepers are more or less gone or they're in the process of being removed.
And there have been unintended consequences to that.
And one of them has been this foreign manipulation that we're seeing abroad.
I think this is just really the top of the mountain, the tip of the iceberg.
So, to speak, I think this is the only thing that we were able to see on the surface level, but there's still a ton of other fake profiles on the social media platforms that are disseminating different news.
I think we're going to see more digital manipulation through AI with different videos and pictures and whatnot.
And in the future, most of the news that we consume through social media will likely be produced by AI.
And it is right now.
The way that that manipulates us in the future, you know, it has yet to be seen.
There's a serious one percenter issue of the content that's being made on these social media platforms.
So I think that's something we should be on the lookout for.
And the way that there were big strides and changes in the way that we consume media in the past decade with social media, I think we're going to hit a similar new wave of that with AI and the way that we involve it in our news ecosystem.
What do you guys think?
I think we're cooked.
Yeah.
I think it's impossible.
This is the most depressing episode of podcasting I've ever done in my life.
I don't know how we, I don't know how we compete with AI slot.
It's getting so good.
Like, let's be real.
And video of the cat playing musical instruments on the porch was amazing.
And anybody can just snap their fingers and make one, and now they're going viral like crazy.
We have a staff, we have a studio, we have infrastructure costs.
We're nowhere near as expensive or big as, say, cable TV used to be, where obviously we grew into this.
The advantage is going to be held for a little while by people who work entirely on their own.
I think very likely at some point soon, this is not sustainable.
One of the reasons I've very much been pushing for Timcast membership is because we've had a strong membership of tens of thousands of people for a long time in the Discord community.
Make sure you join at Timcast.com.
But now it's becoming clear that the reality of maintaining a show like this is going to be built around having tens of thousands of paying members for a product and not getting views on social media.
And maybe this is what the machine wants.
They don't want you sort of restore the old monoculture by destroying variety, by mass implementing variety.
That is, it used to be only five channels you could watch, everyone largely agreed on everything.
But now that there's 50,000 channels to watch, everyone disagrees.
Once it gets to the point where it's just noise and static, where everybody's making random content, literally no one will be able to make a living off of the space.
It feels like we're at the point of most content being noise and static.
The biggest stories I see on social media are just the dumbest, irrelevant, made-up story where you really have to think about the media literacy of the people online to believe a lot of shit.
Everything is the most dumb conspiracy that it's really people just buying and following what they want to believe.
It's not about what's actually real, it's what you want to be real.
And you could find that variety of whatever you want to be real online.
Right, I'll give you an example: when I was talking about the Charlie Kirk conspiracies on the Culture War show, and I was told two things: one, Charlie was shot from behind, and the guy who shot him was in front of him in a bush.
And I was like, okay, see, those two things that can't be correct, right?
You see the incongruence here?
No, they didn't because it didn't matter because saying it got you clicks.
And so if you make a video claiming that this assassin's out to kill you right now and that there's a plane flying around That's landed a bunch of times.
And then from the airport, they're driving to federal buildings where your lawyers are at.
It's like you're going to get millions of views.
And you also have to wonder if this is getting millions of views or if this is being digitally manipulated aggressively.
I know people use bots on Twitter and social media as a social proof for their work.
Not saying there's not popular people on social media, but I know people do it as a social proof.
And we see that we are being manipulated by these foreign accounts.
Twitter and social media is very easily manipulated.
I wonder, are there that many stupid people out there craving this conspiratorial bullshit?
I mean, there aren't that many viewers at Shane's show.
So if they're, I mean, Shane doesn't have the biggest show in the world.
If people really bought into this shit, I'd think Shane would have a much bigger audience.
But no, I don't know.
I'm thinking of the Carolina Candace Owens of the world.
Oh, my God.
And I mean, maybe you need to dip into some of that stuff.
Well, I think if you know history, you know these things are capable are possible.
And to dismiss it outright, like assassinations that are carried out by the deep state throughout the 60s and around the world, coups like that.
So dismissing it makes you sound retarded.
I don't think political assassinations are.
But that's what's happening.
Calling out questioning these things, that's totally appropriate because if you know history, that's what's been going on.
Are you worried about the French and Israelis coming out?
Let me understand.
I don't know who the answers are, but I am worried about someone.
Indeed, and that's very, I said this earlier today when I was talking about Candace's assassination threat.
That government's assassinating people all the time.
It's like the norm, the anomaly is when they don't.
However, that being said, I find it fascinating that Candace Owens went on her show last week and said, you know, this plane, someone sent her an email, and there were federal vehicles coming from the airport and going to this address in Delaware.
And it turns out it was the same address of her own lawyers.
And she addressed it, I guess, saying, yes, duh, but there's federal offices there.
And the funny thing is, the left came out and said that, haha, Candace got hoaxed.
She thought her own address, lawyers' address, was where the feds were going.
I'm like, how come nobody came out and said Candace is in on it?
Not his question.
I think I saw some of those tweets.
That why, why does she employ a law firm that works in a federal building or in a building with a bunch of federal undercover, you know, whatever is going on?
Is it her lawyers or the lawyers that the lawsuit was filed with?
The lawsuit was served to a law firm that works in the same building that she claims is the DEI, the FBI, the Secret Service, et cetera.
And so my response was jokingly like, whoa, that proves that Candace is part of the PSYOP and she accidentally just outed her handlers.
If she is involved in the PSYOP, it's to make us more retarded.
That I believe.
That she is a CIA PSYOP to make us more stupid.
And it is working.
What do you think?
What do you want?
It's grabbing our attention.
What do you think is retarded?
Well, I think she advances stupid hoax that makes no sense.
And it's a distraction.
It makes us more stupid.
For example, I don't think that Bridget McCrone is a man.
I'd ask you if you did, but I don't want you to say something stupid and get him sued.
I did it last week.
The question is, why does it matter?
It's a distraction.
That's what it matters.
It's low IQ slop for idiots.
No, no, no.
Because you're just looking at headlines and clicks and basing your opinion on that.
But if you watch the series, it's way more than just Brigitte McCrone's penis.
It's about the pedophile network that's within every government around the world.
And that one.
And that one for sure.
And they're open about it a lot.
You can look it up.
You can laugh all the time.
You're open about what?
The pedophile networks in Egypt?
The pedophiles are open about their pedophilia that are ingratiated into these administrations, just like our own.
So it's beyond just the clicks that people make to help discredit her amongst the audience.
If you watch the series, it's way more in-depth about the problem.
I just like a Jeffrey.
I think there's an interesting conundrum in a show claiming that you'll be silenced for criticizing Israel and people are trying to kill you while having one of the top podcasts in the world for like years now and making tons of money doing it.
You know, I kind of just find it hard to believe that YouTube, Spotify, Apple are all like, let's prop this up because Nick Fuentez got banned, mind you.
And she's like, remember, you can't say these things, otherwise you'll get banned.
And then she's promoted massively on all these platforms.
Yep.
No, she's huge.
And I'm like, I'm not.
And her lawyers work in the same office as the feds.
And I'm seeing people in the real world, like off the internet, people who are Kamala voters, who are die-hard watchers.
And so that might help a lot's case there with the people who aren't so smart.
But it's widespread.
The audience is.
Do you think it's weird that Nick Fuentes is on Spotify and he gets banned when his podcast grows and he's censored?
But Candace Owens is propped up on all these platforms, promoted, and her lawyers are in the same building as the feds.
She would say, I mean, I think it has something to do with the democratization of news right now.
And YouTube has been a little more lenient.
But it's a good point.
I don't know why some people.
Some people can say, I don't know why some people can say some things.
YouTube's always chosen who gets to be number one and who gets big, who gets views.
And this was proven when that woman was in her car with a pet snake and she gained something like three million or she gained like a million followers in two days with two videos alone.
And it was because they said the YouTube system accidentally took her and promoted her to everybody.
They have that power.
So I do think it's a fair question.
Why is Candace being propped up so massively across the board while being the conspiracy?
Like, here's the real story.
I don't think it makes, I'm sorry, it just makes no sense that they are simultaneously trying to assassinate her while big tech is propping her up.
I will say, though, there is a massive effort amongst a lot of influencers online to make her look dumb, right?
So there's like a coordinated effort amongst a bunch of people to attack her.
The same way it happened to Alex Jones, but with the corporate media, it was him against the corporate media.
Why is YouTube putting her on front page and promoting her?
Is she front page?
I don't know.
I've never seen that.
I know that there's front page is a default setting.
Everyone's front page is different.
When if you subscribe to a channel and you go to youtube.com, YouTube tells you, here, we have chosen 15 videos from your subscriptions that we think you want to see.
So there are many people who are right now experiencing shadow banning.
And I've been hearing from a lot of prominent individuals saying like YouTube won't promote my videos anymore.
And I will additionally add, if you look at some of these more prominent conservative commentators, you'll notice their views are substantially down.
I don't want to call anybody out specifically, but guys, seriously, just go look at your favorite conservative commentator and look at their last few videos and their views are in the gutter.
So what is it about Candace that YouTube has no problem blasting her out to everybody?
This would go back to my.
We fetishize that on the right.
We love nothing more than this.
I missed it.
She's a minority and we love to put her on a pedestal.
That's what Sen Shapiro originally did with her.
Did you feel this way about her?
Now, I have a question.
Yeah, I always thought she was a bad person.
I have a question about this law firm that Candace works with that is seemingly in the same building as the feds.
And I want to know what her communications with them are.
How did she hire them?
Because you made that point.
Is it her law firm or just the firm in this one lawsuit?
I'm curious.
Did the Macron's file a suit and then she immediately went to the feds over this?
And more importantly, if she says France and Israel or France wants to assassinate her and at least one Israeli, you'd have to imagine she's talking with the feds, right?
I mean, she knows Cash and Dan.
I think she said she did.
Right.
So then when you find out her law firm is working in the federal building, sounds to me like Candace is working with the feds.
And I don't mean that as a joke, but I mean, I got to be honest, if you're being targeted by a foreign government, you genuinely believe so, and they're trying to sue you, and Trump called you about it, there's no way federal national security is not involved.
Then I have the question of why is YouTube putting her on the front page?
Why are they letting her be number one when Nick Fuentes gets banned straight off Spotify and her legal team works in the same building as feds?
Come on, I don't buy it for a second.
Crazy theory with that was that, and I was saying this right after days after Charlie was assassinated, was that we're experiencing an acceleration of disinformation from all around.
It's like this noise, this distortion to sow discord.
You think that's Candace?
So I don't know.
I don't know if it's Candace.
What I think is the tech people who run the algorithms, who we've talked about earlier, who will take things and take isolated people and radicalize them into violence.
They can be on a widespread.
Useful idiot.
Yeah, useful idiots.
So hold on, hold on.
Candace said she was talking to feds.
I think she said she reached out to them after the death threat that happened the other day.
But what about the assassination threats?
Whatever happened recently, yeah.
I think it is completely legitimate to ask these questions.
Her lawyers are working in a building with the feds.
She didn't disclose that when that story first came out.
Why not?
Yeah.
When everyone said she got hoaxed because she read this email that said, here's the address, and it turned out that was the address where her law firm was at.
Wouldn't she have said this is a creepy email?
Because it turns out, because she could have said, are they spying on my lawyers?
Instead, she doesn't mention it until she gets called out.
So again, considering she's propped up, so I'll say this.
You could argue she's a good show and people are entertained by it, but there are a lot of good shows that YouTube has removed, like Alex Jones, for instance.
Yet she's given preferential access and treatment, all while claiming you can't have that.
And her lawyers are in the same building as the feds, and she didn't disclose that.
Has she talked with the feds?
And if she did, what is she talking to them about?
I would not be surprised if it turns out she's been, she does have some kind of handler.
I'm not saying she's instructed to do things or that anything she says is part of a coordinated effort, but that she has a liaison with the government.
And you can look at it from a variety of factors.
If there's a legitimate assassination threat against you and she has claimed that, then you're from a foreign government.
Of course, you're going to be talking with national security, right?
The fact that YouTube is not removing but promoting her, and we know that the feds had back doors into these systems.
I think there's legitimate questions about why Candace Owens is able to do things that no one else can do.
Candace Owen is a Fed.
Well, she's a psyopter.
Bro, Alex Jones is removed.
He can't even bring his channel back.
He gets sued by these politically aligned groups or whatever, allegedly.
And the Supreme Court won't take his appeal.
Candace Owens comes out and makes a bunch of claims about Charlie Kirk being assassinated, and she's propped up.
And again, I got to say it, her lawyers are in the same building as the feds.
I got questions.
I got questions.
What I'm saying is, I think the tech people can help steer the narrative so they might be helping to boost her without her even knowing.
And it's possible she has handlers as well.
I think everyone has some handler.
When you get to a certain level, you get handlers.
There's something Kanye talked about all the time before he disappeared, you know, for six months.
Always worried about having a handler.
I mean, the handlers are basically what killed Prince and Michael and Michael Jackson.
So, so, so this is funny because I got comments right now saying that I met with Bibi Netanyahu.
I will meet with any world leader, but whatever you think of me, my questions are completely legitimate.
I'm not saying Candace is doing anything wrong.
I'm saying answer me this: why Alex Jones and Nick Funtes are banned from everywhere, and Candace Owens is propped up.
Why does Candace Owens have a law firm that is in a federal building with the DEA, the FBI, and the Secret Service?
Nick and all one big accident, I guess.
But both Nick and Alex had a narrative as to why they were booted, right?
So the Alex Jones thing is because he said such terrible things about the families that were at the school shooting and stuff about who was involved.
He was making accusations and allegedly it was, oh, he hurt these people so much.
He's persona non grata.
And Nick, there's a bunch of stuff that they said there was the reason that he's on a no-fly list is because of statements he made.
But nobody says that he is being losing his page because of it.
I get it.
I get it.
So if the point is they have said things atrocious and offensive, then it is acceptable to insinuate Turning Point insiders killed Charlie Kirk.
Like YouTube's totally fine with that level of conspiracy.
Apparently, couldn't Turning Point launch a lawsuit similar to what was launched against Alex Jones against Candace Owens?
They could, yeah, but they're not.
Alex Jones never, my understanding is he didn't name anybody.
He didn't.
And if, and, and Candace's going to be like, I never explicitly said they did it.
They're going to say it doesn't matter.
And the same thing will levitate against her from Turning Point.
They're going to Alex Jones, Candace, at some point.
I think YouTube, YouTube banned Alex before all that went down.
YouTube would certainly at least shadow ban or they call it the small room ban, meaning they allow her to get a lot of views, but it slowly declines over time.
So it looks like natural audience recession.
But they're not.
She's being promoted.
Like YouTube is making sure, and these podcast platforms are promoting her.
And it's funny that there are people, you can say whatever you want about me.
Answer that question.
Tell me I'm wrong about everything.
Claim that I'm a Fed.
Say whatever you want.
Find me a legitimate answer as to why YouTube allows her and not Alex Jones.

Thanks for sponsoring the show.
Let's grab your rants and chats.
Let's see what we got.
All right.
Let's see.
I think I saw one right here.
Here we go.
Eric Shaver says, Shane's show is like a creepy camp counselor telling spooky ghost stories to the kids to make them pee their pants so he can smell them.
That's gross.
Yeah.
All right.
What do you got?
Mrs. Carter says, hello, Tim and Crew.
You said years ago that if we wanted to see change, then we needed to become the change.
I left my casino job and became a teacher.
Please help GSG from classroom to airwaves.
Go, send, give, send, go.
Very cool.
All right, let's see.
Same old man says, Tim, please do a pool lemonade version.
That will definitely sell.
That is a great idea.
We've talked about it.
We want to do pond water, which is green tea, spa water, which is carbonated, and then we're going to do pool.
Toilet water was like chocolate drink.
See, that's too much, though.
Like pool water by itself is just fine, but you know, pond water is fine.
All right.
I identify as a tax exempt, says Doge clock is gone.
Oh, it's a shame.
Mason says, what proof did the judge have that the prosecutor appointment was unlawful?
And why shouldn't I just assume this is more evidence that Democrats won't allow a peaceful solution?
Agreed, I think this is ridiculous.
The interim attorney was appointed because the other one resigned.
And so that's what you do.
You have an interim attorney.
All right.
Same old man says, Phil, Trump enacting the Insurrection Act and doing tribunals, that would fix it all.
Yeah.
So for those that don't know, a tribunal literally means three military officers deciding whether or not you've done something wrong.
Tribunal typically is used to refer to like a government rendition.
So an extra judiciary judgment of some sort.
Tribunal.
How about that?
I don't see that being a solution.
Jitteroot says, Phil, hit me up on IG.
Ollie and I would geek on guitars.
He was a beautiful soul.
He was a beautiful soul, and we miss him every day, man.
Sucks.
All right.
Let's see.
John Rambo says, Tim, I'm trying to reach you about your extended warranty.
I don't have one.
Nice try.
Methos says, Tim, you left an important part of that.
Observing the particles alters them.
Look up the double-slit experiment.
That means the second the particle is observed, the results change.
That's not relevant to the entanglement, as far as I understand.
What was explained to me is they want to use entangled particles for communications, but they don't have the tech yet to watch it in real time.
Maybe that's what you're referring to.
Like if they do try to watch it in real time, it doesn't behave properly.
But they want to use AI to quickly solve these mathematical equations so then they can make these technologies work.
I remember when quantum computing was the thing.
Yeah, that's a different.
Well, quantum computing is still a thing.
They're still working on it, but quantum computing doesn't, like the applications aren't like the same kind of thing that your laptop's going to do.
It's not like going to just do the stuff your laptop does faster.
It does different types of computations.
All right.
We have Millennial Mama saying, Tim, what happened to the noon show on Rumble?
There's a lot to break down.
For the past week or so, it just wasn't possible to do.
So here's the way my morning schedule works.
I have to record, let's see, it's two 20 minute segment, a 20 minute, 20 minute, 30 minute, 10 minute, 10 minute, then go live for an hour.
And I have from 9 a.m. to get all of that done so that we can go live at noon.
Now, that's not really difficult to do if you've got a healthy and robust news cycle.
But on days when either we're waiting for breaking news, and so I have my publishing schedule in the morning, which is for Rumble and YouTube, it's 10, noon, 1, and 3.
And then we have the At Tim Pool show, which is 2 p.m.
And then we have the Culture War at 4.
To be able to do all of that in the morning on days where we're entering a holiday, seriously, we come in, we sit down, and we're like, we've got, there was one day where the front page of every news site was 15 different articles about Epstein in the exact, in the same way, but with a different article.
I was like, dude, there's no news show we can do.
However, one of the solutions to this in a typical newsroom would be you hire a story producer who has a backlog of evergreen stories like AI weather phenomenon, which we don't have.
So that would be the solution.
In the meantime, it just means we are not going to prioritize rushing an hour live show and interview if there's no big story to do a half an hour of commentary and a half an hour interview on.
Instead, we'll just focus on doing the prescient news segments that we can, though we want to do the news live.
Sometimes it's like, guys, we can't force a story or a show on something when there's limited commentary and make it go live.
Otherwise, what happens is I end up not doing segments.
And I'll keep it really simple.
The contract obligations for our sponsors prioritize segments over the live version, which then gets re-uploaded as a segment.
So that means we have to prioritize what we're selling against.
The noon live show is relatively new anyway.
It's about six, seven months old.
And we didn't know if it was going to work in the first place.
But what we may need to do is just bring on a story producer so that we have a story every day, regardless of whether the news cycle supports a half an hour news show.
I'll be honest, setting up all the story and lining it up for a half an hour is very difficult.
And trying to do the full morning show and then the culture war with an hour live is very difficult.
All right.
Rocky says, hoping this becomes a trend as well.
We took our adopted baby girl home for the first time today.
Blessed to be on measure.
Thank you guys for all you do.
God is good.
Congratulations.
Let's see.
Michael Thompson says, I know TPUSA said they're still trying to get you out there the day you made your video about not going.
Any chance that can change and the stage show continues?
It will not.
There's a lot to break down.
And I talked about it a bit on the uncensored portion of the show.
But the simple version is my understanding is they had filled the typical slot we took before they even let me know that they weren't intending to invite us.
So that when we were asking, like, hey, we just were wondering what the schedule is going to be because we have to book hotels and stuff.
And we were being told, like, don't worry, we'll let you know we're working on it.
They had actually already booked the stage.
So they knew at bare minimum, we would not be in our typical slot and we were unaware.
And so my, my, you know, I'll keep it simple, but we got invited to another event that is happening just before Amfest.
And when we reached out, we were like, well, they're full, but we're working on it.
And I was like, I got to pull the trigger on something.
And so I was told that we weren't being invited because of things that I said that were hurtful.
They had actually filled the stage a month before I had said anything.
So I guess they just didn't want to say her in the first place.
And the idea that, you know, they did invite me back after the fact where I'm like, guys, we're less than a month out.
And now you're going to bump four people off the stage you already booked because people have expressed concern when I said we weren't invited.
It's not a game I play.
I will say this and burn up whatever diplomacy is left.
Behind the scenes, you know, I think Joel Berry said this on the Culture War show.
The turning point is over.
And I said he was brave to have said it.
I was like, because nobody wants to say that publicly.
Now, what I had said that offended them was that there are people who fear turning point can't make it without Charlie.
You know, it's up to these other people to speak up, but I'll tell you this, behind the scenes, prominent conservatives across the board are saying it.
Some people are saying there won't be a turning point next year.
I think everybody generally understands that feeling, but nobody wants to be the one to say it.
I'm not the first person saying it either.
I called myself cowardly when Joel pointed out.
I said, I've not been willing to come out publicly and say anything like this, but he said it.
And I will tell you this.
There are many high-profile individuals with millions of followers who are all saying the exact same thing, but none of them have the balls to come out publicly and say that's how they feel.
So I guess, because they don't want to be looked at as like a dick or whatever.
Can I put you guys on the spot and ask you what you think about it?
Unfortunately, without Charlie Kirk, it's only as sustainable as the donors will let them go.
I don't think there's a replacement turning point was Charlie Kirk Plus.
And now without Charlie Kirk, the plus, you know, I think they're going to continue having these events.
But the way they're also strategically, politically moving, it almost seems like they want them to fail.
Dropping the ball with you is the behavior.
It's unimaginably stupid.
You've been a part of Amfest for years on end at a time where people are trying to bring the coalition together.
Like, oh, let's piss off Tim Poole and not invite him to the stage.
It's not about pissing me off.
It's just like my.
No, it's an insult.
Yeah.
I mean, you should have been there.
You should have been invited.
I'm not insulted.
You were there for years and you were a staple of the event.
I don't think it's an insult.
Like, if, Ilod, if, if I went out to dinner and didn't invite Phil, Phil's not going to be insulted.
You know what I mean?
Like, oh, yeah, we typically go to dinner, but I didn't ask him.
He's probably going to be like, I don't know, Tim's doing family stuff.
Like, my view is it's their party, not mine.
And they didn't want me there.
So that's why I'm not going to go.
I made a video saying we weren't invited.
Then they came.
Then many of the personalities came back and were like, hey, Tim, no, no, no, we want to invite you.
We're going to make it work.
We'll bump people off the stage.
And I was like, that's not how it works.
Like, I knew this is exactly what was going to happen.
It's their party.
It's their event.
And I don't need to be there if they want me to be there.
I don't feel insulted by it.
In fact, we've got another major event that we're going to.
And I think that my view is this.
Intent is immaterial.
Emotion is immaterial.
Desire, insult, whatever you might think doesn't matter.
What matters is the vision of the management.
And if you think that the management's vision, not including us, is detrimental to turning point, that's fine.
Charlie's vision was bring Jenk Uger, bring James Lindsay, bring Tim Poole, make a big coalition.
It feels like their strategy has shifted.
That being said, I was talking to one guy today, and I said, I think it's going to be like CPAC.
It had the makings of a new South by Southwest in Phoenix with all these parties popping up.
Now I feel like it's probably going to be more like a CPAC.
And this dude said, I don't think there will even be one.
Look, it's strategically incompetent of them to drop the ball with personalities like you.
I don't know what their deal is with other people, but particularly with people like you.
And I think it's unfortunate in a time like this.
I don't know if it's a compliment to Charlie Kirk and an insult to Turning Point, but they just have such big shoes to fill that I don't know if it's possible for them to.
It's not just Turning Point, but I will say this.
The conversations I've been having with a lot of political personalities, even to a certain degree before we started this show, when we're trying to figure out what story we want to do, is that people are largely tuned out of politics, worse than we've seen in a long time.
There's also economic issues around ad rates that's affecting the entirety of the space, not just political, but many of the most prominent political personalities are suffering in their viewership, and it's crazy.
Tate was mentioning he went to the gala at Mar-a-Lago and a bunch of different companies came up to him and they're like, how are Tim's views still good?
Like, what's he doing?
And it's like, I have no idea, but I can tell you this, guys, seriously, just go look at prominent conservative personalities' YouTube channels and you'll see that their views are way, way, way, way down.
And when I say way down, I mean like 80%.
And there's kind of this behind the scenes panic where people are like, these conversations are happening.
We're like, look at this channel.
Like, what is going on?
And I'm like, guys, the same sentiment around people choosing not to watch political content and the management sentiment not wanting to have people like me at Amfest.
I think generally there is just this like, the political space is breaking away, losing its connection to the general public.
And where pop culture was politics for a long time, that's starting to fade because people are tired of it.
So I've been telling people you need to figure out how to connect with regular people and find out where that space is.
But going hardcore, rigid, conservative, mainline politics is the antithesis.
So my point largely is if they're choosing to double down on people wearing suits talking political messaging at a time when political content is way down, it feels apocalyptic.
But we got to go to the uncensored portion of the show.
So my friends, smash that like button, share the show with everyone you know.
I'll get into the nitty-gritty on this stuff at rumble.com/slash Timcast IRL.
I'll spill the beans on some of what people are saying and telling me, much to the chagrin of everybody else.
But I think honesty is important.
If no one is willing to tell the truth about this, the system will burn down and everyone will suffer.
So we should talk about it.

Do you think Turning Point can survive without Charlie?
I think if it survives, it's going to look pretty different than what it did when Charlie was there.
I am, I'm kind of just fed up with, you know, I can understand the sentiment that the left sticks together to a pain, you know, to cancellation, and the right never does.
And that's why a lot of the sentiment right now is just don't say anything, don't negatively impact Turning Point.
This needs to succeed.
But I do feel like I'm sorry, man.
I've talked to way, way too many people in the space, be it producers or personalities themselves, and the gall, the like the hubris of it all.
I was talking to one guy, and I was like, yeah, you know, we're not going to be at MFEST this year.
And he goes, there won't be an MFEST next year at all.
It's not possible.
They can't survive.
And I was like, maybe you should tweet that.
Nobody wants to say it.
Nobody wants to be the one to come out and say that Turning Point's done without Charlie.
I get why, though.
Yeah.
However, if there is a problem that can be solved right now and no one says anything, it will not be solved and Turning Point will fail.
So everyone's saying, don't speak up about it because it'll hurt Turning Point.
I'm like, actually, not speaking up will hurt Turning Point.
I think the biggest problem that Turning Point faces isn't, well, the biggest problem is obviously Charlie, but the subsequent problems that are really going to cause an issue with them carrying on is the management now, right?
Like if they had people that were of a single mind and looking for the same thing that Charlie was, then they might have a chance.
But it seems like the leadership doesn't have a good idea of what Turning Point looks like in the future.
And it seems like there's a lot of personal beef kind of garbage that goes along with it.
Like the conversations about, you know, he was talking about his follower count or whatever.
And oh, Andrew?
Yeah, Andrew.
And if Andrew is more worried about his own star rising than keeping Turning Point doing what it had been doing, then it's absolutely going to be this is like, I think Candace has talked about this quite a bit.
So it's not like this is not known, but that's the general rumor that's floating around to the point where even Phil can opine upon it that Andrew Colvett, who's now running Turning Point, is more concerned with his own rising star as opposed to successfully running the company.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I wonder if he's caught up in this happening more so than he's seeking it because I've known Andrew for a long time.
I consider him a friend.
And he was always the behind the scenes sort of like communications Charlie handler kind of guy, like the logistics guy, right?
And it can be very jarring to, in the span of two months, not only lose your best friend on a live stream, but then also to be thrust into the spotlight as trying to like keep this massive organization together.
And Charlie had this de facto role as keeping the conservative movement together.
And that's a lot to put on somebody who hasn't really had a public profile.
I think everyone's saying this is being political.
I think that I was being political early on.
A lot of people asked me questions about Turning Point and I was trying to be respectful and amicable to Andrew and many others.
People, like I've had, I've been stopped twice.
So it's not like a lot, but I was, one guy stopped me and asked me if Charlie was really dead.
And then I was like, bro, yes.
And recently, I've been stopped more than twice, but two people stopped me asking if Charlie was really dead.
I had a conversation two weeks ago with someone who said, do you really think that they're behaving properly?
And at first, when I went on Brian Callan's show and running shops, I said, this is what pissed them off.
This is what pissed off Andrew.
I said that this idea that they're cheering, celebrating, gloating, or otherwise like happy that Charlie died is ridiculous.
There are people at Turning Point who fear they can't make it without Charlie.
The idea that they killed Charlie is ridiculous because Charlie made them wealthy and successful.
Like he was the leader of this charge.
That was offensive to them, apparently.
For whatever reason, it was offensive.
But that was still a somewhat, you know, polite response.
The reality is there have been a lot of complaints behind the scenes.
And, you know, I suppose it's easy to say, like, oh, Tim didn't get invited.
So now he has no problem saying this.
Yeah, kind of true.
I got nothing to lose.
It wasn't so much that I needed to be there, but I was trying to be amicable to people I was expecting to work with.
When it turns out they didn't want to work with me, it's like, okay, well, let's be honest.
You don't get to string me along for two months, telling me you're working on it when you never had any intention of me being there and then think I'm going to be nice to you after the fact.
I'm not going to be mean.
I want them to succeed.
Turning point's extremely important, but I think it's being horribly mismanaged.
And everybody knows it.
And no one has the balls to speak up and say anything about it because everyone's scared that they're going to get cut off from the machine, that they expect to die in a year anyway.
And it's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
There's a very strong probability it can survive, but that's why my view is like it's it's largely going to be like a CPAC kind of thing under Charlie.
He built it up to have this kind of social gravitas.
I told him last year, I was like, bro, this is the makings of the next South by Southwest.
James O'Keefe's party has a line out the door stretching down the block.
The Daily Wire had a cigar party with like 120 people there or more, and people trying to get in and couldn't.
And I said, Next year, we have to have the Tim Cast party, and there need to be side events.
Now we're here.
We went from this is going to be the new South by, the makings of being not just a non-profit fundraiser event, but to actually be a for-profit, massive Phoenix moment where vendors, industry, all of this stuff takes place.
And now it's not going to happen.
Maybe it will.
I hope it does.
But we're not going to be there.
And, you know, even there's some controversy with Jeremy Hambley.
He put out a flyer today saying that he was going to be there and said the quartering live at Amfest.
My understanding, I could be wrong, he deleted the post.
Is that what happened earlier?
I thought they were sending in the B team.
Everybody was basically critical of this.
I mean, is it even the B team, though?
I mean, like, well, I'm not here to rag on Jeremy.
I'm not talking about that.
But the point is that even he deleted his post because of the negative impact he got from saying he was going.
And it's just like, well, I don't, I'm going to clarify.
I don't exactly know why he deleted the post.
I was just told he did.
I haven't looked at it, but apparently he put up a flyer and it was like the quartering live at Amfest, 2 p.m. Eastern Time or something.
And then when we were coming up to do the show, they were like, oh, he deleted it.
And there were a bunch of people commenting because, of course, people were tagging me and tweeting at me, saying that it was like Timu Timcast.
AmFest couldn't get Tim Cast, so they're getting quartering, which is, I want to say, it's not fair to Jeremy.
Chinese television.
Because with all due respect to Jeremy hiring Hannah Claire and Luke, and people have criticized them for it.
They're both great commentators who should keep doing shows.
And Jeremy's content is relatively different from ours.
Hired Luke.
So if I ever get fired, Luke's going to work over there for the Jeremy Will High School.
Sure.
I'm going to say this: Jeremy's allowed to do shows, and if there's prominent personalities who are available, he should take them.
And I don't want to see these people not work.
And the idea that because Jeremy wants to do a show at Amfest doesn't mean people should compare him to us or anything like that, but then he took the post down.
Like, I clearly think that there is a concern over what Amfest looks like if it's not going to be a kind of big tent, culturally relevant movement.
Amber, I wanted to ask you, because I know you're finely attuned to a lot of the goings on in the right wing.
Do you think Turning Point is sustainable without Charlie?
Well, I asked her that already.
Oh, damn.
Well, I think one of the things that I'm going to be looking at that people haven't been paying as much attention to is Turning Point is known for, yes, having these massive events, but they also were assisting America PAC in the 2024 election with their ground game efforts, right?
Door knocking, tabling, voter registration.
I think the big test will be what is their impact, if any, in the 2026 midterms.
Are political PACs still going to be using the Turning Point Action C4 to help them with their ground games, or are they going to be irrelevant?
And I know even before Charlie passed, there was some consternation among sort of old school Republican political operators who were frustrated that Turning Point was building its own data operation for ground game efforts in politics because they already have all of these voter files.
It's like, well, why don't we combine forces and make this like really great big thing?
But it seemed like Turning Point wanted their own data app in operation so that they could monetize it and weren't being team players, so to speak.
So I'm curious to see how that element of it plays out, like the political element.
Yeah.
Arctic Fox says, if Amphest is a flop, I'm going to put part of the blame on Tim for jumping the gun and letting his paranoia get the best of him.
False statement.
So I was talking with them for months.
We were in Phoenix.
I flew to Phoenix and did IRL.
We combined IRL with thought crime, creating thought crime IRL.
I did the morning show.
And when Colvit came on Monday, after we wrapped the show, I'm there with Luke.
I'm there with Jack Bisobic and Colvett and staff.
And we said, we're trying to figure out the schedule for Amfest.
What's, you know, lesson what the plan is.
And they said, nothing has changed.
It'll be the same.
I said, okay, nothing has changed for three years with the same time slot, Friday night show.
And the truth was they had already booked the stage.
I only found this out way later.
So for the next two months, our team is contacting them and they're like, just, we'll let you know.
We're working on it.
It's tough.
And then finally, I'm on the phone with Andrew.
And he said, as we're wrapping up the phone call, he's like, look, because of things you had said that were hurtful, we weren't planning on having you back.
But if you want to, if we could have you, would you still want to come?
And I said, absolutely.
I was like, we'd love to come.
He's like, okay, it's a heavy lift.
Let me see what we can do.
And I said, okay.
Got off the phone.
A few minutes later, I texted him saying, I need to know ASAP because booking is already very difficult, to which he did not respond.
A week before that, I texted him.
He didn't respond.
So then Monday, he texts our producer saying, I'm working on it, but we're full.
And that's the message you get at any point right now, but we'll see if we can make it work.
At the same time, I have another offer to go to the World Poker Tour, World Championships as an invited influencer, which is a massive non-political event.
And the plan was to go there right before Amfest and then go to Amfest.
When Amfest said we're full and we're, you know, it's a hep, we don't, we don't know if we can make it happen.
I said, listen, I'm at the point where they're telling us they booked our slot already.
They told me they didn't want to have me there.
And now they're telling me that they're full.
And I have to give an answer to the Vegas crew about what our plan is.
And I said, screw it.
If I'm not invited, I'm not invited.
And I'm not going to stress about it anymore.
And in this process, I was informed that they had already, as I mentioned, they already booked the stage with our slot in it.
And so they'd have to bump four speakers they had already scheduled if they were going to make it work for us, knowing I had asked them a month and a half ago.
So I'm just kind of like, guys, I know when I'm not invited, and I'm not going to make it a thing.
It's just, it is what it is.
It's fine.
I'm not going to cry about it.
We had some of the biggest shows at Amfest.
It was fun.
Tucker Carlson, massive.
And it is what it is.
And then I'll also absolutely justify the World Poker Tour World Championships.
If I got invited to the World Series to do a show, I'd do the same thing.
If I got invited to the Super Bowl, I'd do the exact same thing.
If we are going to try and reach people and build awareness of these political efforts, the stupidest motherfucking thing conservatives do is shit on video games, shit on comic books, shit on sports, shit on things normies like to do.
Your movies are dumb.
Your games are dumb.
Your comics are dumb.
You know what, man?
Father Ripperger called this demonic.
And I agree with him.
The idea that conservatives have an aversion to meeting Normies where they are to convince them to see the light is the craziest thing I've ever heard.
And so I have no problem saying, aside from the show that we do, we do music, skateboarding, and poker.
Things that regular people love to do, especially those who are not involved in politics.
And if I can meet them where they are and they can learn about what we do and get interested in the things we talk about, and they do, fuck yes, I'm going.
And so the plan was Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday in Vegas for the opening of the World Poker Tour World Championships, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, turning point USA.
But they didn't invite us there.
They filled our slot and told me they didn't like what I had said.
And so I said, okay, there's celebrities, A-listers, there's billionaires, millionaires, influencers who are coming to party in Vegas.
And we want to reach the normies.
We don't want to go preach to the choir.
We would do it because we've been there every year and it's a major gathering of all our friends.
But if we're not invited, then I'm going to optimize to the best of my abilities.
So I say this again.
If we got invited to the Super Bowl to do a show, we'd do it.
Get this.
We're talking with Cody Dennison about doing Timcast IRL live from an actual NASCAR race.
We want to do these shows from places where we can meet with regular people and bring what we talk about to them.
Otherwise, how do you convince people to pay attention to what's going on in the world if you're only talking to each other?
With all due respect, Amphest is fantastic and I hope they succeed.
But if all these political commentators do is go to political commentator events, you're not convincing people to wake up and pay attention.
You're talking to your buddies about what you both already know, preaching to the choir.
So if it's going to be NASCAR, if it's going to be skateboarding events, whatever we have to do, we are going to do it.
And you know what?
Maybe we don't succeed.
Maybe we are wrong, but it's certainly the strategy I have laid out.
Now, let's go to your colors.
We got Izzy.
What's going on, brother?
Izzy, what's up?
Izzy.
How's it going, guys?
My name's Israel.
Thank you guys for taking my question.
This question is mainly for Phil and Tim, although it's kind of for everybody in general.
