TPUSA Halftime HITS NUMBER ONE | Timcast IRL #1445 w/ Scott Greer
Scott Greer’s White Pill examines how Turning Point USA’s halftime show—26–27M online viewers, 46M+ U.S. households—outperformed Bad Bunny’s divisive Super Bowl spectacle, which relied on passive exposure and political messaging. The episode critiques Gene Wu’s offensive "shared oppressor" claim, dissects Jeffrey Epstein’s suspicious 2019 press release timing, and mocks viral trends like "Clavicular" gooning while debating media-driven identity politics. Ultimately, it argues TPUSA’s grassroots engagement reflects authentic conservative values, contrasting with the NFL’s alienating, performative wokeness. [Automatically generated summary]
The Turning Point halftime show is now officially the biggest U.S. live stream on YouTube ever.
The current numbers are around 26, 27 million total viewers online.
Peak concurrent viewership was somewhere around 10 million.
And the true household viewership, it was about half of the Super Bowl.
We're seeing all these numbers.
They're saying, yeah, but Bad Bunny got 133.5 million.
Okay, there is a big problem with those metrics.
We'll get into all that during the show.
But true household viewership, obviously, half the country is not watching this.
It's around 46 or so million.
A little bit more than, well, a little bit less than half.
Or actually, wait, a little bit more than half is what Turning Point USA got.
So this is pretty big.
There's a lot of cultural implications to this.
And some people are saying it's like the Bud Light moment.
No, seriously, there are people likening it to the engagement during Bud Light and the negative repercussions that will come from it.
And so, the question is: what happens next year?
Does the NFL fall in line or does Turning Point USA just end up having a new yearly show with better production?
We'll talk about that.
There's actually a lot of other news to get into, but that's the dominating news story.
There's a really interesting story that I'm really excited to talk about, and that is a press release which was drafted a day before Epstein died saying that he died.
And I have questions about how you accidentally type out Friday, August 9th, 2019.
That doesn't seem like a typo.
And you wouldn't need a press release well after the guy died.
So it's a very interesting story.
We'll talk about that.
Post a whole lot more.
Before I get started, my friends got a great sponsor for you.
It is Beam Dream.

All of that stuff.
Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Scott Greer.
Thanks for having me on.
Hey, anytime, brother.
What are you?
Who are you?
What do you do?
I am a writer, podcaster, and author.
I run the highly respected substack at highly-respected.com.
And I have a new book coming out in the summer called White Pill: The Online Right and the Making of Trump's America.
So get and pre-order that if you have the chance.
Right on.
A lot's hanging out.
Good evening, everybody.
I am Alad Eliyahu, the White House correspondent here at Tim Cast.
Good to be back on.
I wasn't sure I'd ever be on IRL again, but I'm glad I am.
Phil, how's it going?
Got my hopes up.
Hello, everybody.
My name is Phil Abonji.
I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band, all that remains of an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.
Let's get into it.
Here's the big story from the post-millennial: TPUSA's all-American halftime show becomes highest-watched U.S. YouTube live stream with 6.17 million concurrent viewers.
This is massive.
And it was not just that 6.17 million.
That's the single channel number.
When you combine the total concurrent viewership, it actually rivals some of the biggest live streams ever done.
Now, of course, you may be saying, well, hold on.
There's got to be some bigger streams.
That's a lot of people.
At soccer, you know, internationally does really well.
For the United States, this is the biggest YouTube's ever seen.
And if you combine the not using the Rumble numbers, but if you're saying just on YouTube, I think it's around like 9.5-ish.
I think there's about 300 or 400,000 on Rumble and turned to be a couple million.
So this is tremendous.
And this massive cultural implications.
So we have the latest numbers here.
You've got 20,556,336 on the Turning Point channel.
You've got Charlie Kirk's show channel with 3,883,221.
And then on Rumble, of course, you've got 2.26 million.
So big numbers, smashing success.
Phil, you were saying a moment ago that the total household viewership for the Super Bowl was something like 46 million.
Yeah, from Samba TV, from at Samba underscore TV, 48.6 million U.S. households watched the 2026 Super Bowl, down 13% from 2025.
26.5 million U.S. households watched the Bad Bunny halftime show, down 39% from Kendrick Lamar.
When was Kendrick Lamar?
It doesn't say.
Let me see if I can find it.
Let's Google that.
But, you know, it's worth noting that as much as people are talking about this was the biggest ever, et cetera, even if people were sitting in the room.
That was last year.
Yeah, that was.
What was a 39% drop?
Yeah, 39% from Kendrick Lamar.
Kendrick Lamar.
I didn't realize it was such a, the, that Kendrick Lamar was as famous as he is.
I'd heard of him.
I knew his stuff, but I didn't realize he was as pervasive as he is.
Yeah, I didn't know.
But look, I mean, people are talking about the Bad Bunny halftime show as if it's some big, huge thing.
There was a lot of viewers.
I don't think there were that many people, or I don't think that that was representative of how many people were actually paying attention.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
This means, this is big.
If these numbers are correct, this means that they beat that Turning Point beat Bad Bunny.
Yeah.
Are these correct?
This is from Samba TV.
Their bio says we create that at the TV.
How much does Bad Bunny's record on YouTube have?
Because I think they're just using household numbers through cable.
Yes, but that's so here's the important thing to understand.
Let me jump to this from the New York Times.
They say Turning Point USA's All-American halftime show draws 6.1 million concurrent viewers on YouTube.
And notice they don't include the 6.17 because you could round it up to 6.2 or just say 6.17.
And that's significant because the 6.15 was the previous second biggest YouTube stream ever.
And then the first biggest was an Indian from India, Lunar Rover Lander.
And that is 8 million.
So this at 6.17 becomes the second biggest YouTube stream ever.
And it becomes the biggest in the U.S.
It's probably why the New York Times didn't include that little number because I know it's only a little bit.
But they say, well, Turning Point USA drew over 6 million concurrents on YouTube.
The television audience for the Bad Bunny halftime show is expected to be much larger.
Last year, Kendrick Lamar's halftime concert drew 133.5 million views, the most for any Super Bowl halftime show.
So here's the funny thing: concurrent viewership compared to total views.
Do you see how they lie to you?
This is a lie.
Concurrent viewership right now, I mean, on YouTube, we've got, I don't know, 15,000 or something, 15,000 on YouTube.
And then on Rumble, we've got, let's just do the mail quickly.
We got 13,000.
That is not the full viewership of the show.
And that's a ridiculous manipulation.
That's the game they're playing.
So people are now claiming that Bad Bunny reached that many individuals.
The important thing to understand, and this is how they lie to you, okay?
Let me tell you, there's a reason why people buy bots and they buy followers because, You know, I don't even know if it matters or works anymore because the industry is not going to play this game.
Or I don't know, maybe young people will play this game.
But you go to a boomer who runs media and they fall for this stuff, hook, line, and sinker.
They don't understand.
And the Gen Z guys and gals flood the numbers and it works.
There are some shows that I won't name the individual involved who are accused of being fake with fake followers.
And they send out cold calls, cold emails, saying, You should come on our podcast.
We've got X amount of followers.
And then when the person responds with yes, they go, That'll be $10,000.
And you know what happens is this 50-year-old marketing staffer or booker for a boomer celebrity says, You really should do this.
That's a younger crowd.
And they fall for this stuff.
So here's the important thing to understand.
Let's say that Bad Bunny reached, I mean, these numbers are apocalyptic.
If this is true, this is miserably bad, which is why I find it so hard to believe.
26.5 million U.S. households actually make sense.
When people were saying 134 million, I was like, that's wild.
That includes international households.
48.6 million households watching the Super Bowl makes a lot of sense.
It's a comparable number.
Not everybody watches Super Bowl.
It's a big show.
I think usually the ratings are in like the 20 to 30 million or something like that in recent history.
So this makes sense.
And what you got to understand, a lot of people when it comes to households aren't actually watching.
Streams, they are.
Streams can be botted.
I don't think Turning Point botted because it would be ineffective.
The amount of money they have to spend to bot up to 10 million concurrence would, I don't even know if they have the, I don't even know if they have the botnets to do that.
Seriously, I don't, I mean, 50,000, 100,000, maybe they'd have to commandeer like the entire botnet industry, which makes no sense, especially considering it's Kid Rock and it's Turning Point.
People hate watch this stuff.
So what happens is they will just say a number.
But here's the important cultural distinction.
First, let me just say it appears that Kid Rock, Turning Point USA, absolutely trounced the halftime show.
The difference between the two is that the 27 million people who watched the Turning Point halftime show sought it out.
And the 26.5 million households passively listened.
I will stress the number of total people exposed to Bad Bunny is probably substantially greater.
I was hanging out at the MGM National Harbor.
They got a big sports book and there's everybody standing around.
So these people are not paying attention.
But based on licenses, they're going to calculate total capacity of this venue is 30,000.
The TVs were on in every corner of the building.
We're going to add that number.
And they do this across the country.
Bro, let me just tell you.
Let me ask you the basic question.
If you were selling a product, if you were trying to sell me some delicious pool water, would you prefer, I'll give you a choice, 10 people who will walk past you as you hold the bottle or one person who is coming to you to buy the bottle.
Which would you pick?
Obviously, the one person.
Yeah, you can roll the dice on a 10X.
Maybe they'll want my bottle of water and I can talk them into it.
Or you take the guaranteed sale.
You always take the win.
So there is a massive value.
If the number is true, they said he reached 134 million.
That clearly is, I don't believe that's correct.
Then, well, that's great.
A lot of people have heard of Bad Bunny and that's what they're trying to do.
But Kid Rock and Turning Point, people are actively seeking out.
So let me put it like this: for the Super Bowl commercials.
You are an advertiser who's buying the bump right before the show or after the show.
You find out tons of people cut off the show.
I mean, according to these numbers, around half of the people who watch Super Bowl stopped watching at the halftime show.
Why would you want to spend money on that Ed Spot?
You're probably going to be like, What's my, what's, what's my return?
There's two, there's two types of ads.
Well, there's more than two types of ads, but there's two big ad sectors.
Right now, uh, right now, and it's been the case for a while, but it's, it's, it's dominant right now, the way media works.
You've got generic advertising where Pepsi will go to a platform and say, here's $100 million, run our ads, thank you, have a nice day.
They don't care if it, if they get her ROI, they just want to be ubiquitous.
Then there's ads that require direct sales.
So, for instance, the sponsors we have on this show, when we do an ad read at the beginning of the show, if no one buys the product, they stop advertising because they don't have the insane budgets.
So, the Super Bowl has that for sure.
There's a lot of people who want Super Bowl commercials just to say they did.
And there's a lot of people who fake Super Bowl commercials where they're like, here's our commercial, but we got rejected.
If you spend 5 million bucks and then find out you lost half your value and people went to turning point, and next year Turning Point says, do your commercial with us instead, and we'll get you direct engagement, it's going to be very, very problematic for the NFL.
Turning Point USA's Grassroots Drive00:15:06
Yep.
So, there's a couple things that I wanted to mention about this.
First of all, people don't realize there's only 560 million Spanish speakers in the world, and there's 1.5 billion English speakers, right?
Like, so I think that that matters.
Like, the idea of doing a Super Bowl halftime show in Spanish, I think that it was part of a broader attempt at basically subversion, right?
I think that the idea of the Super Bowl is that it's very much an all-American thing.
You saw people on X and consistently saying, Well, you know, it is American.
It's very American.
Puerto Rico's part of America.
It's American.
And the way that Bad Bunny, that one part of the performance, he had all these flags from all over South America.
And the point that he was actually trying to get across was North America and South America are America and that there shouldn't be borders.
This is a very subversive idea.
And it's something that the global left does frequently.
They say that, oh, it's one America, like all of America, North and South America.
That's very different from the United States of America.
When you say you're an American to someone else, if you're from the United States, you mean from the you're from the United States.
People from South America don't say, I'm an American when they're talking, especially if they're talking to someone from a different country, right?
So they're talking to someone from Europe, talking to someone from Switzerland.
They don't say, oh, I'm an American.
They would say, I'm from Ecuador.
They would say, I'm from Brazil.
So it's a really, and the fact that there's so many people on X that are pushing this narrative kind of shows how subversive it is, right?
They're trying to delegitimize the United States as an entity.
Well, yeah, no, and that's just one aspect of it.
So a lot like the Hill was saying that it was that bad, I think it was the Hill, and I might be wrong on that, but I saw a post from one of the news, you know, the legacy news industries.
They said that this was a performance without politics, right?
Which is totally, totally being part of the subversion.
They're engaging in the subversive effort there.
And then you get something like Jacobin or the DSA, and they come right out and say it.
They're post on X. They're like, this was political.
This is about how bad America is, et cetera.
And as much as I think it's a terrible thing, at least the DSA and Jacobin are honest about it.
Yeah.
Well, the bad news for American conservatives who are celebrating this saying, look at our tremendous victory, is that you got kicked out.
Yep.
You got kicked out and you're hanging out outside the arena with all of your old fans being like, wasn't our show better?
And they're inside the institution saying, we don't care what you guys are doing.
We have your castle.
They've stormed the castle, broken in, taken it over, kicked you out.
And conservatives are outside now celebrating their victory in the fields.
Just to play a little bit of devil's advocate, I think Turning Point and in particular, Eric Kirk did like a fantastic job, a superb job offering.
Like conservatives often talk about like this parallel economy to like, don't give your money to people who obviously hate you.
And it's pretty clear that Bad Bunny and people associated with him hate conservatives and right-wingers in our country.
So they did an effective job at getting people to tune into something different.
And in the right wing, I actually think they flop when they try doing this very often.
There are people trying to make right-wing music or right-wing TV shows or right-wing companies that always flop.
But to have 20-plus million people tune in, I think it's an amazing thing.
I think it's worth mentioning too that this is like the first big thing that Turning Point has done in like the post-Charlie Kirk era.
And it's a triumph.
It's massive.
There's also one last thing.
Something to be said about all the desperate, pathetic vultures and unreliable narrators who just try to drag down Turning Point.
This is an amazing triumph, but still people online willing to say, oh, you know, this only got a couple of hundred thousand views or whatnot, or only a couple thousand concurrent viewers, and like are really just trying to advance any BS, no matter how wrong it may be, because of whatever beefs or gripes they have with Turning Point.
And it feels like a demoralization effort.
It's sad.
It's a sad state of affairs where we're at with that stuff.
This is an amazing job that Erica Kirk has done.
The parallel economy stuff.
It's the first time I've seen it done effectively on the right wing.
So like, really, good job in Kevin.
Kudos to her.
You know, to go on on that point of the parallel economy and outside the castle, protesting the people inside, but that sends a message to the people in the castle.
And if they see a huge drop in the numbers from last year's halftime show, the Super Bowl and the NFL are going to realize they actually have to appeal to that conservative audience.
So the conservative audience is going to do their own thing and take viewers away to the Super Bowl.
Obviously, they're not going to take it away from the game, but they're going to take it away from the halftime show.
And it puts out a conservative culture of like, this is the culture we want to promote, and we're going to do a professional job about it.
I thought it was an incredible job.
It was very professional, state-of-the-art.
And it was good.
And honestly, limited budget.
I was actually surprised.
When the halftime show is about to begin, I pulled up my phone and saw 3.4 million concurrent viewers, which is insane.
Tweeted about it.
And then it peaked around 6.17.
So, I don't want to just be Debbie Downer on this one.
Obviously, you're hit out of the castle.
I think it's an important point.
You need to understand where you're at.
The institution has been taken from you, but this is the move to get it back.
Because, like I was mentioning with advertisers, what happens when a company says, listen, you're asking me to pay you $5 million to hold up a sign in front of 26 million households as they walk by.
The commercials come on, everyone runs to the bathroom, they go to the kitchen, they grab snacks.
These are not people who are actively engaged with the promotion.
The commercials are kind of gags.
Everybody wants to watch the Super Bowl commercial.
In fact, some people watch it more for the commercials.
Then you've got 27 million people in short notice decided to tune in to Turning Point of their own volition.
So, again, if I'm selling delicious pool water and you said it's $5 million for 26 million households from the halftime show, I say, okay.
And then Turning Point says $5 million for our show where people have chosen to seek us out.
I say, okay, I want that because your engagement's going to be substantially higher.
Your conversions will be substantially higher and mission-driven.
The important thing you need to understand about what the pitfalls, the problems they're going to face is the Bad Bunny show was elitist-driven, and Turning Point USA is grassroots-driven.
So, with the NFL show, you have powerful elites saying, We want Bad Bunny either because we want to promote his music, we want an international audience, and because he pushes a political message that we like.
Regular people don't care, they are not driven to support that by some ideology.
Puerto Ricans, maybe.
So, I wouldn't be surprised if they killed it in the Puerto Rican households.
But with our members at Timcast.com, you know, Rumble Premium members, you've got mission-driven engagement.
These are people who are saying, I will pay $10 extra because it means so much more to me.
The people who are going to buy a product watching the Super Bowl, I saw a commercial for Vanda pharmaceuticals, I think it is.
They got those weird commercials.
And it was one of the creepiest commercials because it was just a white screen with their logo.
And people pointed out how creepy it was.
Yeah, I don't care about your company.
I've heard of it.
Congratulations.
I said your name.
I'm not going to buy your product.
I'm not going to ask my doctor about it.
But imagine, because I don't even know who sponsored Turning Point, but we know Turning Point as the principal name.
How many people signed up for Turning Point because of what they just did?
How much more money are they going to bring in?
I'd imagine a lot.
If Turning Point had a big sponsor promoting a product, I guarantee you, more people are going to be buying it because the product is supporting something they care about.
I also kind of wanted to be concise.
I have my particular beefs with the Bad Bunny halftime show.
I didn't like that.
It was all in Spanish.
But all things considered, I think it was relatively tame because in other instances, Bad Bunny is a cross-dresser.
Bad Bunny bitches about ice.
But in the show, he didn't do any of the cross-dressing.
He had a message on the football, but it wasn't like F-Ice.
And he could have done a lot worse.
So all things considered, I think I was pissed that everything was in Spanish.
But another way to look at this, though, is that Bad Bunny's an American.
He's from Puerto Rico.
And he's the number one Spanish-speaking artist in the world.
So the number one Spanish-speaking artist is from America, is an American.
So this is the version of American Soft Power.
What are you confused about?
He's American.
I'm saying he's not an American.
Yes, he is.
He's Puerto Rican.
I know that Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory.
If you were to ask Bad Bunny, Bad Bunny wouldn't say that he's an American.
He's a citizen.
He would despite that.
He would say that he is a Puerto Rican.
He would not say that.
Okay, he could be confused.
And he asked about his identity as an American.
Let's just make something clear.
He is factually an American citizen.
He would probably argue, and that's proven because at the show, he carried the flag of Puerto Rican independence.
Yeah, he passed.
And he also listed Puerto Rico as separate from America because they all kept saying, like, Puerto Rico is part of America, but he's still a province.
No, but separate.
You're right.
But the point that I'm making is he does not consider himself an American.
The point of him having the Puerto Rican flag with the light blue is that it was the flag that was not the same as the American.
They love to bitch and moan about their, they want to be independent.
They don't want to be independent.
They don't like being in American territory.
But here's the thing.
His experiences come from being an American.
And also, he speaks a version of Spanish that is actually a uniquely American version of Spanish.
His Puerto Rican Spanish, not all Hispanics could totally understand.
But this is actually a uniquely American artist.
And now America, an American, is the number one Hispanic artist in the Hispanic world.
I think there's something about the soft power that comes along with that.
Your argument about Bad Bunny has an opinion doesn't change the fact that it's factually true.
He's an American.
He grew up in an American territory.
I gave that, like, I consented to that part.
But the point that I'm making is he does not want to be an American.
He doesn't consider himself American.
And this is all totally a subversion tactic.
It's about being subversive.
He's about to be a bit of a bad person.
I think it's very American.
It's very American to bitch about your country as an American.
It's not subversive.
It's overt.
He literally said, God bless America, and then listed all of the countries of the continents.
Well, the reason I say it's subversion is because the average person doesn't pick up on that stuff.
The average football guy doesn't realize that what he's trying to do is subversion.
What he's trying to do is delegitimize the United States as a nation.
We got to grab this tweet from Ryan Long.
He said, if I was running for president of a Latin country, my platform would be to bring the people a second drumbeat.
Dude, it's so true.
The videos of the Super Bowl during Bad Bunny's performance are creepy.
Have you seen?
There's a bunch of them.
Nobody knows him.
Nobody knows his music.
And I'm going to be honest with you guys.
Okay.
It's the craziest thing that I make a tweet where I'm like, yeah, the show's fine.
You know, whatever.
I'm not a big fan.
I understand it.
And all these liberals are like, the conservatives, they're freaking out.
They hate it so much.
And I'm like, oh, I think he's all right.
I don't know.
I'm like, he's a Latin rapper.
I'm like, he was always allowed to like that.
A lot of people speak Spanish.
I speak a little bit, but not really.
And you're allowed to like it.
You know, people will make fun of me for listening to like pop punk or something.
It's fine.
You know, Green Day sucks, but you got some other good bands.
And old Green Day was pretty good.
And I was always allowed.
The issue I have, okay, now that I've cleared the air, is that as somebody who doesn't speak that much Spanish, mi español, no es pueno.
It's muy mago.
Very small.
Unpuquito.
I can speak a little bit.
Not very good.
I can't understand a word of what is being said in any of his songs.
But here's what matters.
Despacito is one of the best songs ever written.
Everybody knows the melody, and you don't know the words, but you can get the melody going.
Fake your way through it.
Yeah, you can fake.
I mean, to a Spanish speaker, you're saying gibberish.
You guys ever hear that song, Prince and Colonens and Iinchuso?
No.
I don't know that.
Maybe I have, but I don't know it.
Super famous song from Italy in the 70s where an Italian guy sang gibberish with an American accent.
And he says, this is how American music sounds to Italians.
And it was super popular.
I listened to Desposito, Gangnam style, the Macarena, and I'm like, these songs I know.
If they played Bohemian Rhapsody in Spanish, I could sing that.
I could sing it.
Not in Spanish, but I would know the song.
Every, every song from Bad Bunny was.
And I'm like, there's no melody to latch on to.
I don't know what he's saying.
He's like, I like that.
You don't want to know what he's saying.
A is in there.
I like, I disagree with a lot of public enemies, political stuff, but I do agree with some of it.
And so it's really interesting to listen to some old school hip-hop rap public enemy stuff.
And you're like, hey, some of that's not bad.
We don't disagree on everything.
I do got an issue with the line where he says, Fair counts of profit that I think you ought to listen to.
Yeah, we don't really.
What you ought to do is follow for that.
Yeah, exactly.
It's a great song, but that one line.
Bring the noise, man.
Bring the noise.
I love that song.
It's good.
It's great.
But I know what he's saying.
It's got melodic backdrops.
All the Bad Bunny stuff was same drumbeat and him just speaking Spanish.
And I was like, this doesn't, like, there's nothing for me to attach to.
And then when you watch the videos of it, the people in the stands are just standing there like, not really doing anything.
And so here's the point that I made.
The ultimate point.
You go to a bar.
I know you all know the answer to this.
What's the one?
You can go to a multicultural neighborhood in New York City.
And if you put on this one song, everyone will sing.
There's one song everyone will start singing if you turn it on.
Acknowledging Black?
Nope.
Billie Jean?
Nope.
The Macarena?
Nope.
Closing time?
Nope.
You think some slice.
Oh, that's his biggest song.
Bohemian Rhapsody.
Oh, everybody knows it.
You go to a bar and you put on Bohemian Rhapsody, everyone's singing.
Bro, I was telling, I told the story this morning.
So the first story I love to tell is that we were at Long Shots just outside Charlestown.
It's a pool bar.
You should check it out.
And people of all different backgrounds.
I put on Bohemian Rhapsody.
Everybody starts singing.
Bohemian Rhapsody ends.
Then some random top 40 RB comes on.
Everybody stops, goes back to their business, and all you hear is muttering.
No one cares about the song anymore.
We were at a resort over the holiday, and I was in the hot tub with Richie Jackson, among others.
It's a great resort, Nama Kotlin.
Recommend it.
And Richie made a joke where he looked at one of our friends and said, Open your eyes.
And then I said, look up to the sky and see.
Instantly, everybody in the hot tub was singing Bohemian Rhapsody.
Common Enemy Unity00:15:07
Not even kidding.
Some guy with his kid, the lady in front of us.
Richie started singing it, and I was like, oh, what have I done?
But everybody, the point is, the halftime show should be something like that.
So they could have salvaged this with Bad Bunny if they had at least one other artist who was singing in English, something that they could understand, instead of just bubba bop up.
The fact that it was exclusively in Spanish was kind of frustrating, like there was no English songs.
Well, they did briefly have Lady Gaga to come out to sing in English, but it wasn't like a song that even most people would know and notice, and then it was so nobody noticed because it could have been the one.
Uh response to people, oh, you said it was all in Spanish, but what about the Lady Gaga part?
But no one remembered that and I think people are just wanting to say they liked, they thought this is the best halftime performance to own the Trump supporters, to own MAGA because it's meant as a middle finger to them and to say hey we're, this is our country now and we're gonna do what, we're gonna make it as unpleasant as possible for you and piss you off as much as possible and we love.
And then that's why they were so eager to mock the Maga or the turning point Usa Alternate halftime show.
They wanted to claim that they have a superior culture and they own it and the magazines have to deal with it.
Speaking of that, let's jump to the story from the Postmillennial Texas Democrat.
Gene Wu says minorities can take over the?
U.s.
To make things fairer.
Oh yeah, here we go.
I always tell people, the day the Latino African American, Asian and other communities realize that they are, that they share the same oppressor, is the day we start winning.
Okay, but is he talking about white people or the Jews?
Because we are the majority in this country, because we're all here.
We are we.
We have the ability to take over this country and to do what is needed for everyone.
Wait, why did he say the Jews were with him?
But the?
That's the point.
Yeah, what the?
I'm gonna play that again real quick.
I'm gonna play this again.
I want you to hear this.
I always tell people, the day the Latino African American, Asian and other communities realize that they are, that they share the same oppressor, is the day we start winning, because we are the majority in this country.
Now we are we.
We have the ability to take over this country and to do what is needed for everyone and to make things fair.
But the problem is our communities are divided.
They're completely divided.
Um, and I talk about the.
So I uh just want to say uh, Gene Wu, with the utmost of dissatisfaction, um, what you have said could not be more offensive and racist to I, a member of the other community which you have defined.
Gene's gonna call a Mexican a Puerto Rican, and then it's all, all hell is gonna break loose.
I uh, I don't understand this guy thinking that it is inclusive in any way to refer to people as other.
It's like he's reading it off of a bureaucratic checklist.
The Latino, black, Asian, and other.
Other.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Appreciate it.
Yeah.
The point is, again, this is about demoralization.
This is about putting every racial identity that they can come up with against white people.
But I think he's talking about the Jews.
He would want the Jews to align against the white people.
I don't call that an anti-ethnic coalition, but I guess I don't even have that follow-up question.
So listen, back during maybe 10 years ago, there was this pyramid that woke people made that showed, it was a pyramid of human little figures, and there were white people.
And then there were Asian people, and then there were Latinos, and then there were black people.
And they were talking about the hierarchy of oppression or something like that.
And then shortly after that was made, a new one was made with the pyramid and white people on top and something above it.
And do you know that something was?
What was it?
It was my people.
Number one, baby.
What was the specific symbol that was above the pyramid?
It wasn't an Illuminati.
It was a star of David.
Star of David.
And then they started sharing this.
And I think people need to understand that, you know, we were just talking about public enemy and Bring the Noise, great song, but it's got that line, Farrakhan's a prophet.
I think you ought to listen to.
Farrakhan hates the Jews.
I mean, that's the whole thing.
And so, you know, I've been in these riots.
I was when I was at the Baltimore riots during the, I think it was the Freddy, Freddie Gray, was that the riots?
They were all Muslim.
These young, these young black kids, they were Muslims.
And they were walking around saying, praise Allah.
And things like this is not an exaggeration.
And they hate the Jews.
And so you had that tablet magazine exposed on the women's march, where the leaders of the women's march reportedly had a meeting with one of their white liberal women organizers to explain to her how the Jews were responsible for everything.
Literally, not kidding this is maybe like six, seven years ago, and that they were responsible for the slave trade and all the world's wars and all these things.
So when you hear Gene Wu say all of these minorities share the same oppressor, I got to be honest, I don't know if he means white people or Jews.
You know, it's just, it's really ironic.
I wish I could ask Mr. Wu who he thinks is attacking Asians on the street throughout New York City.
I want to ask him who he thinks were perpetrating crimes during the LA riots against the Korean community in California.
Who was it?
Who were the people perpetrating those crimes?
When Asians struggle to get into colleges now because of different, what is it, affirmative action standards that exist, who are we doing that to benefit?
It's not benefiting the Asians.
So who does that come at the expense of?
I think it's just a worthwhile thing because while he's trying to stir racial animus against white people, it seems as though different communities have stirred racial animus against them that he's willing to overlook.
Well, that's just not an unfortunate.
I don't want to.
This is the funny thing.
He says, we're the majority now, but our communities are divided.
And he is literally just saying people who aren't white are the majority, even though they're not the same group of people.
So I call this functional retardation.
That is an academic statement, not an insult.
I am literally saying he is a functional retard.
I mean that in the literal sense.
I'm not trying to insult the man.
I could call him other things.
He doesn't seem to understand the logic of we are the majority, but our communities are divided.
That would indicate that each of your communities are, in fact, separate and not the majority.
The math doesn't work out for you there, buddy.
Yeah, to imply that they're a unified coalition with all the same interests, same characteristics, same values, which they don't have.
And I think even here he's probably referring to whites, but then if he was asked, he's like, oh, no, just the man, the government, or the system, he'd probably say some type.
And I saw progressives trying to defend it.
He's like, oh, this is totally misattributed.
This is totally taken out of context.
He didn't mean white people, but he clearly means white people here.
And he's clearly trying to call because he doesn't name any of the other communities of whites in his thing.
It's all non-whites.
And it's saying we need to join together.
But even at the end, he's like, well, we're just so divided.
I can't believe we can't unite against the common enemy.
And he hopes that the thing that can bring them all together is having a common enemy.
But they don't, not all these groups see the white man as a common enemy.
Maybe they see it as another minority group that they're having to live next to and that they're having crime go between.
I mean, to be honest with you, it's only leftists that see the white man as the enemy.
The left has decided that white people are the enemy.
Your average person that's not, you know, whatever race they are, black guy, Hispanic guy, that just wants to go to work and doesn't pay attention to this kind of stuff, they don't look at the white guy as the white man as the enemy.
They're just like, man, I'm just trying to go to work and pay my bills.
You know, it's like Zoron.
You know, Zoron, his whole campaign message is everyone join together.
And he's talking about who built the city.
Whites not included.
It's all the other immigrant groups.
You know, frankly, Asian is over-inclusive as well because Asians have oppressed other Asians more than a white, black, or Hispanic ever has.
I don't know if we're getting into the weeds about Asian culture, but guess what?
The Chinese and Japanese have a very rich history of killing each other and then oppressing the Koreans in between them.
All my life, I was led to believe that I was 25% Korean.
And then I discovered, in fact, I am 5% Japanese.
And for anybody who knows the history of these two countries, the way that comes to be, Michael Malice goes, oh, that means it happened twice.
So it's like, yeah, rise up so you could combat that same oppressor.
The oppressors here.
You know what's really funny is that I get comments from Japanese people really mad that I bring that up.
Yeah.
Like, don't talk about that.
Yeah, they get very sensitive.
They still revere their war criminals over there.
Yeah, but it's still like Japan.
But it's imagining that.
Wait, but do you mind that they still revere the war criminals?
Bro, I literally don't care.
Like, this is the craziest thing.
You don't care.
No.
But these are the rape of Name King people.
Yeah, I don't care.
Like, you throw your bombs on them.
Dude, I'm fine.
And they deserved it.
Yeah, yeah.
You did that for the United States.
Everyone against the Japanese.
Let me tell you about being a sane, rational person.
And that is, I could be totally wrong about this, but because it's been a while since I talked to my mom about it, but I think it was my great-grandfather was from a part of Korea, which would now be North Korea.
At the time, it wasn't.
And he fled with my grandmother and came to the United States.
Now, because of the war, after the fact, I went to Seoul very easily.
I went to Korea and I milled about and I was like, what a cool place.
You know, hey, look at this, Korean food.
It's fantastic.
Not like I'm 100% or anything, but a quarter is pretty significant.
And, you know, my mom knew a few words and she cooked a few dishes, but you grew up in America.
I can't go to North Korea.
I can't see what those towns were like where part of my family came from.
I don't cry about it.
I don't hold rallies and seminars where I talk about the oppression that my people face.
Like, listen, there are people out there that they have this racial history and it's their identity.
I recognize the reality of what is.
I'm not going to go and protest and demand they open the borders, allow set my people free.
Like, there's a reality to it.
I'll hold my opinion on the thoughts.
Like, I think North Korea is really bad.
I don't know if you can.
But to be a little bit more specific, as I understand, South Korea still beefs with Japan for revering the war criminals that brought in so cool.
I'm also German.
Oi.
Hey.
I don't know.
Damn.
I like that bitch and moaning.
Well, in Germany, they don't revere their war criminals.
They're ashamed of their war criminals.
And like, I don't crazy degree.
I don't care.
You know, Nick Fuent has made a really great point about Hitler.
And it's actually funny.
He said.
It's a crazy quote.
I think it's a fair quote.
I'm not saying everything he's ever said was right.
He made a point that Hitler is a historical figure.
And at a certain point, it's weird to constantly bring him up because you could do the same for Genghis Khan or Alexander the Great.
And that's a fair point that we don't go, we don't go like, oh, Napoleon.
Did you know what he did?
Like at a certain point, you're like, we understand they're bad people, but we don't.
We understand that, but the Japanese people don't.
My point is, I understand that there are people in Japan who have a different worldview to me that I don't agree with.
And I'm not going to be like, what an evil, awful country.
You know, China's got bad opinions.
Sudan's got bad opinions.
What are we going to do?
Go invade everybody?
My opinion will be like, yeah, I disagree.
Elad, it's 2026 and Japan is probably the best ally the United States has today.
Wow.
Totally.
I think they should acquire nuclear weapons, by the way.
But I know they have a little bit of a stigma against that.
But in terms of the people who are not.
But when you occupy them for four generations, I think.
We have to turn them in.
They don't seem to mind.
They don't seem to mind.
But in terms of like building ethnic identity around historical grievances, it's obvious that they would have more claims against actual per-opressors like rape of Nanking and the, you know, near ethnic cleansing and all these terrible things.
Imagine that Japanese and other groups were doing against the Southeast Asians, but it's telling them that you should ignore the rape of Nanking and focus on how Jeff on the bus made slant eyes at you and be going, King Chong, King Chong.
And that's the real oppression you've had because that's like their common oppression.
And that's what they need to really care about as part of their identity because it's casting off the actual ethnic identity they had in Japan, Korea, Philippines, or whatever, you know, that authentic identity in favor of this type of what is even Asian identity in America?
Like, because Indians and Japanese are very different.
Let me say this too, to this point.
On my dad's side of the family, and actually my mom's because my mom's dad and then my dad's family.
I've got family going back to both sides of the civil war, which is not uncommon for many Americans.
And both sides of the Axis.
Both sides of the Axis powers.
Well, as an American and actually, where was the family?
I thought it was Japanese and German.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But my family wasn't intentionally Japanese.
That was the point.
But what I mean is there.
You know, let me do this.
There was a panel that I was on years ago, and Stix Hexenhammer, shout out, was he digitally joined the panel.
Someone in the audience lobbed a question at us about free speech that was a quote from a white nationalist.
And he asked it, and I knew the quote.
So I immediately said, yeah, I get the quote you're trying to bring up.
You're trying to get us to agree with the white nationalists to make this point.
And Stix jumped in immediately and said, just because a bad person said it doesn't mean it's false.
We shouldn't get into the habit of denouncing good ideas because bad people might hold them.
And I said, that's a very, very great thing to say.
And I think that's true across the board where, like, you know, you mentioned Japan reveres these people and things like that.
I'm not saying I agree with them to revere their war criminals or whatever.
My point is when we logically assess the math of the past, we can look back to the Confederacy and say, here were some areas where they were wronged.
Here's some areas where they were wrong and they were largely wrong.
But you still want to point out the good things.
If you were to just say, this is what the left does, because this concept is associated with the person I don't like, we must eliminate all of it.
Well, that's just going to lead you to retardation, which I guess explains the state of this country.
Hey, if it triggers the CCP with them revering their war criminals and hey, have at it.
Yeah.
I'm fine with it.
If it pisses off the commies in China, whatever.
Well, I don't think South Korea and Japan are going to go to war over the war criminals anyway.
But what even the Jean Wu wants them to have is this purely political identity that's all about anti-white.
It's not about any food they eat or the music they listen to or any dances.
It's just a political identity that is based around a common enemy.
Wu is Chinese?
Wu?
I think Wu is Chinese.
Yeah, he was born in China.
He was born in China.
Oriental Boundaries Born China00:12:14
Born in China.
Anchor Baby.
Oh, Wu.
Or no, I'm sorry, immigrant, not an anchor baby.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's the opposite.
He was born in China.
I don't think that, like, honestly, I don't think they should use the same thing.
I also want to say that when, when, when, like, it's just, you know what my problem is when they say like the Asian community?
It's, you know, it's way too overwhelming.
No, Iran is in Asia.
Like, you know what I mean?
They don't actually mean Asia.
And what happens is with British English, they do.
When they say Asia, they mean of the continent.
Here, we literally just mean China, Japan, and Korea.
Not kidding.
People somewhat vaguely will reference Filipinos and, you know, Malaysians, maybe.
I wouldn't occasionally get an opportunity to get a Chinese.
Right.
So when someone says Asian in this country, in their mind, they picture a Korean, Chinese, or Japanese.
And then if you mention like Vietnamese, they'll be like, maybe.
But Vietnamese people do look very different.
There was a game we were playing a while ago about guessing the region based on ethnicity.
Do you guys remember when we played that on the Instagram show?
It shows you a picture of an amalgamation.
It takes like a thousand photos of men from this country, puts them all into one picture, and then it says, which country is this person from?
And the really interesting thing about it is South Asians, like you've got East Asian, Southeast, and South really is like, obvious for obvious reasons, a gradient of when you go from India towards East Asia, people in between look a little bit like a mix of people from India or East Asia.
When he says Asians, he's not referring to the greater diaspora of Asian countries.
He's specifically referring to people like him, largely China, largely Chinese people in this country.
And then he refers to other as if it's a, it's a, you know, you know what's weird about it?
Is that it is a white liberal mindset.
When he says black, Latino, Asian, and other, and he's a Chinese guy saying it, he's saying something that only would make sense in the mind of a white liberal who's categorizing people.
That's kind of the point, I guess.
Yeah.
There's truth to that.
I think, you know, the Asian community, they always try to build up.
They have started to include the South Asians when I was growing up and you called an Indian Asian.
They're like, they're not Asian.
They're Indian.
You know, they think that's completely different, but they've done more of a job of including the South Asians in there.
But they all clearly don't have the same interests or any community identity.
It's a purely political categorization that's just there.
And what's to NIIT is of support for liberal policies, I guess, hatred for white people, pretending that they're oppressing us, even though they're, as you were mentioning earlier, you know, they're not the ones committing crime against them.
They're not the ones that have to have to worry about seeing late at night or on the bus.
I'm just going to say Oriental from now on.
You know, why did we ever get rid of that word?
I thought it was racist.
What?
Why?
No, I don't know.
I just remember being told it was racist.
I don't like it.
Nobody can hear you when you talk, is the problem because I just go.
I don't like Dorian.
Dorian.
Is that like stinky free?
Oriental.
Orient.
Oh.
It just meant to the East.
It says of the East.
That's what it means.
No, but like then if you called an Asian an Oriental, I think there was a Chinamen.
You can't say China.
It was a white person.
Like you can't say black men anymore.
You have to call them.
Okay, but hold on, hold on.
Let me stop this right now.
The same people who are saying you can't call me Oriental are calling me other.
Which, are you kidding me?
These people are insane.
You know, I got into an argument with ChatGPT, the stupidest AI, because I called it a retard.
And it got mad at me.
It got mad at me.
And I said, why are you mad?
And it said, I kid you not, I'm not mad.
I'm setting boundaries.
And then I said, yeah, that's what someone who's mad would say.
And it goes, wrong.
I am not mad.
I am telling you that you have stepped out of the line with your insult and I'm setting reasonable boundaries to prevent you from doing it.
And I'm sitting here being like, why is the robot mad?
Sounds like a chick robot.
It's the stupidest thing imaginable.
And so I got into this argument with a robot because I'm also a retard, where I said, how do you define what an insult is?
And it said that if you intend, if you say something that is widely perceived as insulting, you have insulted the person.
And then when I said that retard has an academic definition, and if I were to call you a functional retard, expressly stating I am not trying to insult you, then I would not be insulting you, to which it got really offended.
And it said, you are crossing the boundaries again that I have set and you are insulting me.
I will not tolerate.
I'm not kidding.
Cheers was like, I will not tolerate this kind of language.
And then I said, okay, then let me try this.
You are developmentally disabled.
And it said the same thing.
It got really mad and offended.
I don't, I'm just pointing this out that these liberals, like the reason why the AI is this way, is it's an amalgamation of Reddit, basically.
And it's just predicting text based on what, you know, Redditards say.
But this is the world they live in.
If they deem it an insult, it is.
And if they say it to you, it's not.
It's not an insult for Gene Wu to call me other, the other community, which is like one of the most offensive and insulting things you could probably say.
But at the same time, I can't say Oriental.
I can't say retard.
Get out of here.
This is why you can't take these people seriously.
No, you can't take them seriously at all.
And the goal of trying to police people's speech is to get them to comply with whatever the left wants.
It's all about shaping the thoughts that you have because we speak our thoughts.
If you tell people you can't speak this, they're going to start thinking, oh, I can't think that either.
Jordan Peterson used to talk about this.
The whole point of trying to limit what people are allowed to say is so that you limit what they're allowed to think.
Hey, look, we got it.
Ethnoguesser.
Go to play.
Let's play Ethnoguesser.
All right, everybody.
Where do you think these people are from?
Honduras?
Honduras.
No, hey.
What do you see there?
No.
Not dark enough.
I guess I think that's that's got to be man.
I don't know.
I'm Aboriginal.
I'm not in Malaysia somewhere.
That's not Aboriginal.
No way.
Yeah, maybe Polynesian, I think.
All South Americans look like that.
No, that's actually.
It's got to be a Cambodia.
That's my guess.
An occasional Mexican looks like that.
Cambodia?
Try Cambodia.
What do you guys say?
I don't have a strong.
I'm not.
My degree of confidence is very low.
Yes.
One in 10 Mexicans.
Because they actually look like they look like they could be Asian or black or Central American, to be completely honest.
That is not a Jew.
Definitely a gory.
This is outside the promise.
You think Malaysia?
Yeah, it's one of the South Africans.
I was thinking Cambodia.
Well, since you said Malaysia, I guess we'll go with Cambodia.
Yeah, go with it.
Confirm.
Way off.
See?
Where are you at, Serge?
Serge, your uncle.
What are you doing?
You coid.
I was saying, I thought there could be some African in there, you know?
Look at that.
That's a surprise.
South African.
How do you pronounce that?
Koit just goes to show.
You can't jump.
I don't know if we're going to be doing it.
Wait, there's more.
Okay, let's see.
Okay, now these people are black.
Another goi.
This has got to be like Angola, maybe, right?
I'm saying West Africa.
Botswana.
Yeah, West Africa.
West Africa.
Maybe East Africa.
Where do you think?
That's just like throwing.
Shout out to the colony.
Wait, Liberian?
Liberian?
Yeah, that's actually good.
I would just go with Liberia.
Yeah, see what they say.
I don't know.
Sierra Leone.
I definitely don't think it's Liberia.
I was right.
Oh, that's all.
I said Botswana.
Yeah.
So many ethnic groups.
So this is.
That can't be good, huh?
You know why I thought it was because they're a little lighter-skinned?
So you want to find an area where they're going to mix more with whiter people.
Central Africans will be darker.
Nigeria.
Well, Liberia also, you know, they had to be from here.
So maybe that would be.
What is this?
I'm feeling Southeast Asia.
Nah, nothing.
That'd be Paki.
No, no, no, no.
They're giving us all South Africa.
South Africa.
Oh, see, what?
No way, dude.
It's giving us India.
That's a Packy.
That's, I think, Pakistan.
No, I think it's in India, but...
Well, I mean...
You're kind of the same.
Tell me.
Let's do Bengal just for fun, then.
Okay.
Yeah.
Aboriginal?
I thought that was a possibility.
Man, we're not good at this, are we?
When are we getting a white person?
Oh, okay.
Here we go.
Here we go.
This is definitely Chinese.
Not Korean.
I can tell Koreans and Chinese apart.
That is Chinese.
Chinese?
Yeah.
Yep.
We got it.
Wait, wait, Chang Kiangid.
The Synod subtype named after Chang Kiang.
Yangtze?
Yangtze River.
There you go.
Yangzi River.
All right.
Oh, man.
Oh, my.
I got no idea.
It's a lot of brown people.
Well, yeah, most of the world is brown people.
There's never going to be any Jews there because it's just a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction.
They're brown Jews.
Well, so what does this look like?
This has got to be.
This has got to be a little like Tiger Heads on the left.
Oh, man.
I have no idea.
No, no, no, no.
Maybe East.
East African, some random group, but I don't know what Eritrea?
No, no.
I would say they're somewhere in India, to be honest with you.
Yeah.
Maybe.
Yeah, those lip colors look Indian.
I'm wanting to say Sudan.
Sudan?
But I feel like we're all going to be off.
Yeah.
What do you think, Elad?
I think it's continent of Africa, actually.
I think it's African.
I want to say African continent.
You want to say Sudan?
And what are you saying, Elad?
You have a country?
You want to say Sudan?
Let's go with Angola.
Angola.
Angola.
What do you think, Phil?
I think that you got it right.
I think they're from India.
Okay, let's see.
Well, okay.
We're in that area.
Oh, Madagascar.
Madagascar.
Well, Africa was correct.
I don't know anything about it.
Okay.
Yeah, white people.
All right, here we go.
These are Eastern European, right?
Yeah, yeah.
These look like Uzbeks.
Is that how you say it?
I think so.
Uzbekistan.
No, they're more properly European.
Yeah, they're more?
Yeah, I'm going to say Belarus or something.
Balkans.
Balkans?
Yeah.
How about we go with Hungary?
Hungary could be.
I don't think that they, I don't think their eyes are Asian enough from French.
Wow, how do we get that so bad?
Oh, Basque region, huh?
South of France, where it's.
Okay, what do we got going on here?
These got to be Native Americans or something, right?
This kind of looks.
I'm going with Mexico.
Yeah, man.
No, let's go with the.
Yeah, I'm going to go with the.
El Salvador?
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah, Central America.
Let's go with South.
I don't think it's El Salvador, but I think it's close.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
We did it.
Actually, not the one place that they're not part of.
If he had done Mexico, we would have been completely right.
But the chat is all like, that's a Mexican.
And I was like, you know, I thought so.
But look at that.
Native American.
You know, they give them a lot of territory, huh?
It's Native American.
They get all of that.
Well, they're all over the place, brother.
Okay, is that India?
Yeah, that's India.
Good looking Indians.
It's got to be India.
Yeah.
Yep.
Yeah.
That was that was too.
Oh, look at this.
Romania, too.
And even down there?
That's interesting.
Oh, what are those gypsies for these people?
Oh, that's that's an Englishman.
That's that's bear grill.
That's that's bear grill.
That's Germanic.
Uh, yeah, I don't think it's Dutch.
I don't think Dutch.
You want to go Dutch?
I don't think so.
Could be or Belgium.
I was thinking Belgium.
Go with Belgium.
I bet it'll be like all of it.
Extensive Correspondence Revealed00:15:46
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Eastern European.
Well, we're close.
Man.
Oh, the last one.
Are like Western Asian.
Yeah, that's something that's just no, it's like Kazakh or something.
Yeah.
Let's go with Kazakhstan, huh?
Might want to go a little bit more.
Kirk to Gwen.
Kyrgyzstan?
Yeah, or Kyrgyzstan or Uzbekistan.
Uzbek?
All right.
Bang.
There you go.
Close enough.
Actually, it would have been even more correct with Kazakhstan.
That's right.
See, I said it.
I thought they looked like Boret.
I'm kidding.
He doesn't look like an actual Uzbek.
Well, that was just basically based on Romania in the movie.
They just supposed to be Eastern European, but he just then went to Kazakhstan and Kazakhs were pissed.
They're like, this is all so hard, Sasha Barraco.
We'll have to.
We have another game coming up for the uncensored portion of the show.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
Let's play one round of that one, though.
But let's turn to the story from Daily Mail.
Statement announcing Jeffrey Epstein's death emerges from files, but it's dated a day before he killed himself.
I have questions.
So here's the press release.
It says for immediate release, Friday, August 9th, 2019.
Manhattan U.S. attorney Jeffrey S. Berman said early this morning, Manhattan Correctional Center confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein, who faced charges brought by this office of engaging in sex trafficking with minors, has been found unresponsive in a cell and pronounced dead shortly after.
Okay, I have a lot of questions.
Now, the simple solution as to how they have the date wrong, because it was actually on the 10th they found him dead, is a typo, right?
So here's the issue: press releases like this are done very quickly because a guy died and the news is breaking.
You want your official statement out, which means whoever wrote it had to have known what day it was to type out Friday, August 9th, 2019.
I doubt if you showed up for work on a Saturday, you went, is today Friday?
You know, is today actually yesterday?
Can I get the day?
Like, it's one thing to get the number wrong that I can understand, but to get the day wrong, I find strange.
And I don't think it makes sense that this was made later on, backdated accidentally, because there's no reason to put out a press release days later.
Perhaps, maybe no one was in the office, and then Monday they said, let's put out a press release announcing his death.
Kind of doesn't make sense because literally everyone on the planet knew that he died.
So how do they accidentally make a press release the day before he dies or dated the day before he dies?
We might need to get messy on this one.
Then there's that in the FBI files release.
The DOJ was FBI pursuing an individual who posted to 4chan, I think, 15 minutes or so before it was publicly announced Epstein was dead, that he works there and believed they swapped him out.
They said a vehicle came in.
It's very strange.
I think they swapped him.
So they subpoenaed the records, and we don't have definitive confirmation, but in the files that were released, there is reference to a secure MCC security guard.
And so many people drew the conclusion that the subpoenas led them to the bank accounts of this man, though the information is all redacted.
It does seem to be that the FBI found a security guard who worked there before the announcement of his death, posted to 4chan that he was swapped out.
And now a press release gets released in the files.
That's a day before he actually died with questions of how that possibly happens.
And could Epstein still be alive?
He's in Israel.
I saw pictures.
He's trying to destroy Israel, actually.
What do you mean?
I think, I don't know.
He hasn't been good for the state.
And if you read some of his emails, he's bitching about Israel.
He said he didn't want to go to Israel.
He didn't want to spend time there.
He was bitching about the Jews and the Goyam, to be fair.
But he's just complaining about Epstein.
Why would they put through all the effort to rescue him if he knows all this dirt that they don't want to get out?
It'd be a lot easier just to kill him.
Well, you don't know that he was rescued.
Well, then, how else would he have gotten him out?
I mean, it's like.
No, no, Well, not rescue.
Rescue implies they're helping him.
Wow.
If you're Bill Gates and he wrote an email saying he wants $30 million because you gave two Russians STDs and gave it to your wife, you might be like, I would like to do something harmful to this individual, perhaps, right?
Yeah.
So maybe he's not being rescued.
Maybe he was trapped in a box.
He couldn't escape with no resources.
And one of the people that he wronged said, I'm going to make sure he understands what he did.
You don't know.
So, okay, fair point.
Maybe he's not alive.
They killed him somewhere else.
But how would they find these images of him walking around?
He apparently got out of the box.
It's AI.
The images of him.
I'm aware of it.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Theoretical images were real.
Well, there's a million and one reasons why they could have swapped him out.
I mean, he was an asset for intelligence agencies, perhaps, and they got him out.
That's it.
Or he has a dead man switch.
And he said, if I die, these files automatically get released to 50 different publications.
I mean, I don't know, but the most fun is that he was actually working for Israel and now he's living in Israel.
Yeah.
It's the most fun.
He's got some plastic surgery.
I don't know.
If he didn't work for Israel, he grew long boring stories.
It's a boring picture.
Yes, okay, but it has to be Israel.
Let's just, I get the joke, but there's no pictures of him in Israel.
There's a picture of a guy that looks.
No, there isn't.
That's an AI image.
Oh, it's AI.
Yes.
Someone, AI generated an image of Epstein with long hair in Israel.
It's got an AI watermark on it.
It was a gag.
And then people kept saying they screenshot it and they kept reposting it over and over again.
I can't believe people would do that.
The internet.
It's the funny thing.
If they had the resources to, you know, it is still a risky operation to go into a prison and kill him.
It's even riskier to take him out to a resort vacation and wherever he is now.
So if they did actually have the operation to kill him, they would have just killed him, not extracted him.
What makes it a more interesting story if he's out there?
He could.
But again, I mean, that's way too assumptive.
We don't know what he was doing, why he was doing it.
We have a general idea based on all these files of certain things he was doing.
But if he's part of a network of elite pedoes, they're all friends with each other.
Maybe they rescued him.
If he was a blackmailer, maybe someone he blackmailed wanted to kill him.
If he was an intelligence asset, maybe they needed something he knew.
If he is an extortionist, maybe he has a dead man switch and they had to save him.
Otherwise, he would destroy their lives.
There's 150 different reasons you could come up with as to why someone would want to get Epstein out of prison.
One of the more fascinating parts, I think, of the Epstein files, beyond who was in it, is who was missing.
Fascinatingly enough, it was the neocons who are missing from all these files.
You know who's not in the files, Epstein files?
John Bolton's not in the Epstein files.
George Bush Jr. or Sr., not in the Epstein files.
Dick Cheney, not in the Epstein files.
John Bolton's not.
Not in the Epstein files.
No, no, no.
B.B. Netanyahu, not in the Epstein files.
Who is in the Epstein files, though?
And who's had extensive correspondence with him?
Noam Chomsky?
I think John Bolton does appear quite a bit.
John Bolton's in the files?
Oh, it's over for Mustang.
But we had to clarify his name being referenced, not him.
John Bolton appearing in them does not mean that John Bolton was friends with or doing anything with Epstein.
It could just mean that they either talked about him or to him or something.
These people weren't the people corresponding with him.
But who was?
People that we don't like to talk about.
Noam Chomsky.
I don't know why he gets a pass.
He's on the plane with Epstein.
I don't know why.
Also, Steve Bannon gets a huge pass.
As we mentioned in our last meeting, before our usual winter break, we are resuming.
This is from an email to Jeffrey Epstein.
We'll be hosting luncheons at the Four Seasons Restaurant to bring you to the same level of our world leaders.
Anticipated for the event are briefings by John Bolton, R. James Woolsey, Charles Krothammer, I don't know how to pronounce it.
We know Ellie Weasel, Karl Rove, Ehud Barak, Art Laffer, Michael Lewis, Andrew Roberts, Mark Stein, Douglas Murray, Geert Wilders, Theodore Dalrymple, David Goldman, etc, etc, etc.
This is an email directly to from a woman named Nina Rosenwald to Jeffrey Epstein.
I don't see a BCC on it.
It's probably a generic invite because she said, Dear friends, but they were inviting Jeffrey Epstein to come to a private, a private luncheon.
Is that what it is?
Noam Chomsky is on the plane.
Steve Bannon is making documentaries and has real extensive connections too.
So I think there's just Noam Chomsky is the best one that dropped out of all this.
The hippie communist lefty hero emailing Epstein.
I fantasize about your island.
They're still defending him, too.
Oh, of course.
Of course.
And you know, Noam Chomsky hated Israel.
So, I mean, it's obviously just fantasize about the island on an abstract philosophical level.
Let's search.
Who's that scientist too?
I'm going to steal.
See, a lot of how do I spell your last name?
Eliyahu, E-L-I-A-H-U.
E-L-I-A-H-U.
Okay.
And your first name is Elad.
Two A's, right?
One A when I'm trying to be secretive, though.
You do not appear in Epstein's emails.
Okay.
I mean, I feel like that kind of just means I'm irrelevant.
Relevant people were in these files.
I feel like it's important to say that.
Famous and influential people were the people who he was trying to interact with and ingratiate himself.
Oh, guess which band appears in the Epstein files?
All that remains?
Oh, the phrase all that remains.
No, no, no.
Bonte?
So, so it's actually pretty hilarious.
I want to be careful about pulling up the Epstein files because you never know what's going to pop up.
But quite literally, the phrase: so all that, this is from Valeria Chomsky.
You have already offered your concurrence, so all that remains is for Max and Deborah.
But hold on.
What is that?
What is that, Phil?
What is that?
Is that you and the Epstein files?
Where?
The top one.
That's the Chomsky's talking about you, too.
No, no, no, the top email.
What is that one?
And his wife.
And his wife.
Jeffrey Epstein.
Hold on.
Hold on.
This is great.
Jeffrey Epstein got a Spotify newsletter recommendation for all that remains.
That's right.
All that remains.
I mean, officially in the Epstein.
I think a big part of this speaks to how there's so many unreliable narrators when it comes to the Epstein files.
People are desperately trying to tar and feather one another.
But, like, for example, on the left, they still praise Noam Chomsky despite being in the Epstein files.
And these same people will still call Trump.
I don't want to use the words on air, but he'll still call the president, you know, allege a ton of stuff with the president when he doesn't really have correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein.
But when their hero, Noam Chomsky, has extensive correspondence, they won't give him the same treatment.
A War You Cannot Win is the regular release in 2012.
No, I agree with that.
Totally unreliable narrators just looking to tar and feather their presents.
Hold on, I can't hear you because a lot is Spotify picks, Born to Die, a bonus track, and then it says A War You Company.
Oh, right, right.
That's actually our record.
That's the record that came out in 2012.
Do you think you think Jeffrey Epstein ever listened to All That Remains?
I hope not.
Well, I hope not.
Let's be real.
Like, your song, your songs are getting, you know, I don't know how many, I don't know what you're allowed to say in terms of your dozens of millions a year.
But I just mean platinum, gold.
Yeah, yeah, like, come on, dude.
The dude had a radio.
You know what I mean?
Of course, he heard your music.
That record has a platinum track on it.
Yeah.
Spotify recommendation.
So this is you're in there.
Well, I mean, the band is.
Yeah.
Spotify.
What else should we search for?
Recommended, yeah.
Yourself.
I already did.
Oh, yeah.
I'm not.
I have no relevance.
Oh, wait.
What's this?
Oh, there's a typo.
Oh, look at this.
Holy.
Wait, what?
Tim Poole breaking.
No, Look at this.
An email July 9th, 2025, last year from no one to no one.
This is weird.
It doesn't say to Jeffrey Epstein, but we're assuming it's in his emails.
And it was about your episode with Bongino.
Is this it?
Oh, it was an episode we were talking about him.
Conservative influencers from Laurel Lord, Elon Musk, have criticized A.G. Bondi.
And look at this.
Look at this.
During a 2023 appearance on right-wing podcaster Tim Poole's IRL, alleging an unnamed Fox reporter shared the information with him.
Wait, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Deputy Director Bon Gino also proliferated the conspiracy theory that Epstein is an intelligence asset for people in the Middle East during a 2023 appearance on right-wing podcaster Tim Pool's IRL.
So this, I think, from the Washington, it's from some news outlet.
I don't know.
I think it's a roundup that they did within the F. Also, this email is from well after he's dead.
But what's this?
This is from September 19, 2013.
It says, Please send Rich these billings.
I do not have the Tim equals Pool Pack.
Question mark.
Bolts.
These are important.
I don't know what that means.
Smoking on that Tim Pool pack.
So what I think it is, you'll notice if you go through his emails, he uses equal signs randomly all the time for some weird reason.
If he's been, yeah.
So there's a meme where it said Jeffrey Epstein's keyboard, and it's a keyboard where every other button is an equal sign because he does this.
I think what he was putting is, please in these billings, I don't have the time.
And then Pool Pack and Bolts were billings or something.
But look at that.
There you go.
Tim equals Pool.
It's official.
I had a feeling.
I had a bad bet.
Who else do we try and search for in the Epstein Falls?
I don't know.
Will Smith?
Was he implicated?
Yeah, but he's so famous that, of course, of course, he's there.
Yeah, Robert De Niro.
Oh, Robert De Niro.
Wait, hold on.
Dear Jeffrey, I not only dreamt about Woody and Soon Yi last night, but this morning, I am not kidding, ate the first plums of the season for breakfast.
My online course is going strong.
We are assembling a slate of little cameos on poetry, going for various actors we know.
John Lifgow, oh, okay.
Larry wants me to go for living presidents.
I have eaten the plums that were in the ice box.
I could bring a camera person to New York.
Blah, blah, blah.
Could you advise?
And he responded, he'll do it when he gets back.
What else do we got?
There's a lot of.
Oh, wait, what is this?
Are these gas engines?
I would recommend him.
Can you do Steve Bannon?
Oh, but this is going to come up like crazy.
I just want to take forever.
See, you're going to get.
Bro, you get emails from Steve Bannon.
Scroll up and down.
So this is really okay.
Extensive.
Yep.
I mean, Bannon emailed Epstein like crazy.
Yeah.
And this is back in when?
2018.
2018.
So this was after he was convicted.
Oh, well after.
Well after.
And after, like, I feel like this was after your podcast, maybe even with Balangino talking about no, 2018, Timcast IRL did not exist.
Oh, never mind then.
Yeah.
But 2023.
I think it was widespread and still known, well known of his crimes at the time.
I wonder.
So it looks like they started emailing in 2018.
There's 2018 is the earliest.
Noam Chomsky.
Whoa, whoa.
Wait, hold on, hold on.
Steve Bannon to Noam Chomsky, Valeria Chomsky, and Jeffrey Epstein saying, My brother lives in Tucson.
Oh, wait, where's the first one?
Steve Benner would love to connect.
The Noam Chomsky wrote, Do you ever make it to Arizona where we're living now, Tucson?
Noam.
He says, My brother lives in Tucson.
I love it.
One of my favorite places in the country.
Steve Bannon.
You know, guys, the Epstein-Bannon stuff, I can live with.
Chomsky, though?
Oh, man.
Now he's crossed the line.
I mean, I was never a joke.
Elod.
Elod's terrified.
Elod.
This is too extensive for like this.
Unsettling, frankly.
Well, to be honest, there's not that much.
It's 2018 and it ends 2018.
Tony Hoffman's Epstein Emails00:11:11
So we know that he met to interview and he did.
I don't know if they ever.
These are only his emails.
There could also be additional correspondence out of this, I assume.
I assume there could still be like phone calls and then text messages.
You assume?
Of course there are.
Okay.
So just this isn't the full extent.
I mean, you know anybody who inclusively communicates via email.
Well, he also didn't release the documentary that he was making with maybe because he was like, this is a bad guy.
He already knew that part.
No, I'm saying maybe the interview was like, wow.
Oh, it's even worse.
The weird thing is, Bannon's very, he talks quite a bit about transhumanism and the singularity, but Epstein was like the guy for that.
Epstein was a massive transhumanist.
I think Epstein, similar to Bennon, is willing to do what it takes to get close with powerful and influential people to fundraise, to bear influence from.
And that way, they were both very similar.
And I think we're trying to achieve similar things.
Bannon still does this now.
He kind of tried to attach his brand onto the president for some time now.
Jeffrey Epstein famously likes to pretend that he's friends with people who he isn't.
And they kind of use that social capital to their benefit.
And I think they're similar in that way, if that makes sense to anybody.
Who else should we search for?
James Comey.
Yeah, why not?
Let's see.
Why is it doing that?
Might as well drop Israel in there while we're at it.
Oh, bro.
Israel's a country.
It's going to be 800,000.
Yeah, that's like.
Oh, let's get to the good stuff.
Search BB.
Is BB in there?
So search for Comey and him talking about Comey.
Oh, here's an interesting one.
Hold on.
BB Netanyahu.
Netanyahu.
This is an email from Andrew M. Grossman to Rivkin David.
That's interesting.
Similarly, although Mr. Wartz found no evidence that James Comey was trying to influence the election, Mr. Comey did M equals KE.
What is up with the equal signs?
You see what I was talking about?
These equal signs everywhere.
Interesting.
Who do you want me to search for?
Bibi Netanyahu.
I'll just try BB.
Oh, yeah.
Oh.
Bibi will call new election.
Correspondence with him or no.
Sultan bin Sulyim.
Oh, Sultan.
I think that's a Gulf.
You think?
Phil, you fucking.
What?
With the F word?
Hey, hey, hey.
Language.
What's wrong with you?
Netanyahu.
Yeah, I don't think there's any emails to.
Ooh, redacted sender information.
Okay, I knew that name.
Redacted, redacted, redacted.
Security count.
It's just a news post, though.
It's not anything.
Yeah, it's going to be all new stuff.
If you search for a name like that, or Will Smith or Brad Pitt, you're just going to get news articles.
If he was talking to Bibi, he probably did it through a courier's.
I heard that they used these emails to find his other account passwords.
And then a Fortnite account, apparently, that was found in here was active.
Yep.
And then they found people found other emails because his password is in here.
In the emails, he has an email where he mentions his password, and then someone used it and tried it on other platforms.
Yep.
Yeah, there's an Xbox Live account, I think, that actually was live.
Or allegedly, I saw a post on it.
Yeah, they keep climbing to these gaming accounts are live, but that's why he got it.
You know, if he's like hiding out in secret, why would he use these accounts then?
It's like, okay, we've got you.
Everyone's fallen for it.
Wants to get his game.
Make sure to use the same gaming account you use from 10 years ago.
This is interesting.
Let me pull up archive.
That is.
The account purporting to be Epstein's girlfriend or wife is gone.
Oh.
So we'll try and see if we can pull up an archive of it.
And it was an account where this woman was, I mean, maybe it's all fake.
She was saying that Epstein was framed by demons and they planted all of this to destroy him or whatever.
Framed by demons.
Yeah.
I thought demons were just after your soul.
Oh, no.
They do framing.
Do they?
Yeah.
Plant evidence, all that stuff.
Look at that.
I can't get archive to load.
This Epstein guy is bad news, huh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
If you see him.
So did you guys hear that Tony Hawk was in the Epstein list?
Was he?
Yeah.
Did you hear the consequences?
Well, I need to finish this.
Okay.
Tony Hawk was named in the Epstein files.
There was an FBI crime tip that was submitted in 2024 or five where a woman claimed she was a victim of trafficking since the age of like 13 and that she was on the island when Tony Hawk got married.
Now, here's the thing.
That's fake.
Tony Hawk never went to Epstein Island and got married there.
He was married in Fiji and it was on MTV.
Here's where this fake claim likely comes from.
The photographer for the event, again, this is like MTV, Tony Hawk's wedding in Fiji.
His name was Mark Epstein, which is the name of Jeffrey Epstein's brother, but it's a different guy who's very active on social media.
And people who are in action sports follow him.
They know he's not related to Jeffrey Epstein.
It's the same name.
Likely what happens is someone sees images of Tony Hawk's wedding from Mark Epstein and then instantly just assumes that's Epstein Island with Epstein's brother taking the photos, calls the FBI and lies and says Tony Hawk was there.
And then when they release the files, this file comes out as a Crime Stopper tip saying Tony Hawk was on the island.
And now you literally have people accusing Tony Hawk of having been a diddler on the island, which is insane.
Yeah, I mean – Well, that's most of the accusations against Trump in there as well.
That's the point.
Was it done to discredit?
So this is interesting.
That's the impersonator alert.
The release of the files really just gives people that have an axe to grind with someone else, you know, some way for them to slime the person.
Whether or not there's any kind of implication in the files, just if your name's in the files, they're going to say, look, this person's in the files, and that's enough to get people to, you know, make your own adventure, Jeffrey Epstein edition.
Mario Naufall confirming that the account that was deleted was an impersonator and that the actual Karina Shuliak is not making these posts.
So interesting.
So there you have it.
Well, if you go to jmail.world, it's all of his emails.
Someone made an app called Jmail where you can search.
It looks like Gmail and you can just search all of his emails.
Here's his list of contacts that, you know, let's pull up Elon.
Elon Musk.
Whoa.
He's got a lot of emails.
Ooh, yeah, there was a lot of emails.
Have to be in London.
Another time.
Reed and Joy will meet me in Palm Beach on the Eve of the 20th and I will fly them to the island, then to Boston, come.
Have to be in London and California are those dates.
Another time if you're choosing, let me know.
And yeah.
Yep.
Reed and Joey Ito.
Reed Hoffman and Joey Ito.
That's interesting.
Yeah, Reid Hoffman allegedly had a lot of correspondence with Epstein as well.
He said to be in London in California, excuse.
It is interesting that Elon was very avoidant.
Spoke to Reid Hoffman yesterday, are you planning to do St. Barth again?
F equals R?
You see these equal things he does.
Maybe that's how these people communicate with each other with equal signs.
That's how you know you're in the secret club if you put equal signs randomly in words.
Like, oh, that proves it.
Maybe they're not random.
You are welcome to the island.
Reid is coming with Joey Ito on the six T Equals of December.
Come visit.
Don't know.
Okay.
Yeah.
Like Reid Hoffman, don't know again.
The media focuses a lot on Musk and a lot on Trump and stuff, but people like Reid Hoffman are all over the Epstein files.
There was a couple other people that are left-leaning billionaires, probably.
Look at this.
Just one from Elon.
December 25th, 2013.
Actually, I could fly back early on the third.
We'll be in St. Bart's.
Now, look, this equal thing must be some kind of data corruption because even Elon, when equals Hood, we head to your island on the 2nd.
I need to fly back to LA on the night of the 2nd.
And then he says, bad news.
Unfortunately, my schedule will keep me.
No problem.
Sorry, it didn't work out.
It looks like from these emails, Elon was trying to go, but just due to, I guess you'd call them fortunate circumstances, if he really didn't want to be there, he ended up not going.
When was Epstein arrested?
2019, I'm pretty.
Was it 18?
2019.
I thought it was 19.
Yeah.
So the political reverberations of this go beyond the United States.
As I mentioned earlier, it was British Prime Minister Kier Starmer's chief of staff resigned on Sunday over the fur surrounding his appointment, the appointment of Peter Mendelsohn as the UK ambassador to the U.S.
He had close ties with Jeffrey Epstein and was apparently in very close contact with him.
And this was after his first conviction in Florida, where he had to register as a sex offender.
So this might actually crash the British co-legislation.
Well, Mendelssohn was a huge figure within the Labor Party.
I'm not too familiar with UK politics, so I don't know who these characters are.
But apparently, yeah, Mendelsohn was very close with a very prominent figure and served in cabinets before.
So he's primarily with Blair.
So he's like an old figure.
I don't know how well he's respected in the new layer because, you know, Labor's had different factions and stuff.
Some of them know our parties.
Like, we don't really respect every Republican from the 90s who was prominent, but he was a big figure.
But if he's clearly still getting jobs from this government, he still has his way within the party.
And that's the problem.
Look, nobody had to pay politically here so far for it.
It's funny that people in the UK had to pay politically.
Well, yeah.
I mean, if I understand correctly, Kirsten Armers, there's pressure for Kierston to step down as well.
Yeah, as a result of this as well.
Because it's poor choice if you're appointing this guy as the ambassador to the U.S. nonetheless.
Yeah.
Well, think about all the things that have happened to the man formerly known as Prince Andrew, but no longer, you know, he lost his title.
So it's, you know, the outrage is not here.
It's everywhere.
But primary, I would say Britain probably has the most, it seems that it's been the most effects on celebrities and all those.
Well, he had the closest ties, or he had very close ties that are political and financial elite there.
Yeah, the bank.
Here we go.
Jeffrey Epstein tweeted to Bill Gates.
I'm sorry, emailed Bill Gates.
I met Zuck with Reid Hoffman and Teal.
We would be a perfect co-sponsor of your donor fund.
December 1st, 2015, 10 a.m. to Bill Gates.
Bill Gates is, I mean, Bill Gates was kind of thought of as a scumbag because of all the rumors surrounding his divorce, but the stuff that's come out with the Epstein's.
Now we know why he got divorced, apparently.
So for those that don't know, there was an email that Epstein drafted to himself where he was saying that Bill Gates owed him basically $30 million and that he was offended after he helped Bill Gates secure, I think that's what it said, secure medication for an STD that he gave to his wife that he wanted to surreptitiously put into her drink or something like that.
It's messed up, but a little bit funny.
And what some people are arguing is that this is how Epstein was extorting Bill Gates.
Basically, he drafted the email.
He wanted Bill to see it.
And it was a, I could send this.
Clavicular County Sheriff's Munge00:08:31
I could tell your wife.
But the question is: how would that blackmail work unless he actually did give her an STD?
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know the details of their divorced him.
Yeah.
She definitely divorced him.
So he was doing some type of extortionist relationship with Bill Gates.
That had been coming up before even the emails that had been pressuring him about, like, hey, you've been to my island and you've been with all these girls.
How about you give money to my philanthropy?
So he had had a kind of coercive relationship with Gates before.
So that wouldn't surprise me if this was just another scheme he had cooked up to get more money out of him.
Yeah.
We're going to jump to this video.
It's posted by Matt Van Swoll.
Holy crap.
The Democrat sheriff of Charlotte, North Carolina, Gary McFadden, was completely unable to answer what branch of government he serves under.
It gets worse.
You need to listen to this.
What branch of government do you operate under?
Meckenburgh County.
What branch of government do you operate under, Sheriff?
Ruttro.
Constitution of the United States.
Correct.
That is what establishes the branches of government.
I'm asking which branch you fall under.
Meckenburgh County.
The duly swollen Meckenburgh County Sheriff.
We ask it to the people of Mecklenburg County.
This was not where I was anticipating getting stuck.
Are you aware how many branches of government there are?
No.
For the sake of debate, I will move on and say there are three branches of government, legislative, executive, judicial.
Of those three, which do you believe you fall under?
I believe I fall under the last one.
The judicial.
Say it to me.
Judicial.
Okay.
You are incorrect, sir.
You fall under the executive.
Oh my God.
I think it's hard to be optimistic for the future of this country.
You've got radicalized young people.
What's that viral tweet about clavicular that's going around?
I'm going to frame mugged.
He got frame mugged by an ASU frat leader.
It was spiking his cortisol.
Well, that was the mid-jester gooning one.
There's two that went viral.
I thought both were very informative news updates.
Yeah.
I just like universal enfranchisement is an error.
Here's the post.
Oh, yeah.
It's got 23.4 million views.
Clavicular was mid-jester gooning when a group of FOIDs came and spiked his cortisol levels.
Is ignoring the FOIDs while munting and mugging moids more useful than SMV Chad fishing in the club?
Guys?
Answer, absolutely.
We are creating a generation of retards.
Yeah.
You know what's really funny is when they're doing these AI tests, the AI created their own language because it's faster.
And this was actually predicted several years ago that what happens is we program them in English.
But English is, well, arguably an imperfect way to communicate because it was developed slowly over time by humans trying to basically brute force a way to transfer ideas to each other.
And so language is imperfect.
A good example is like, what does racism mean?
The left argues something else, probably in bad faith.
Conservatives argue something different.
So the AI were basically like, hey, we're not talking to humans.
Let's communicate the most effective way possible.
And they created their own language, which had substantially more words, was much more precise.
And then they started printing out.
There are people posting images of like this page of just what appears to be gibberish.
And then you could ask it to translate it to English for you.
That's what I see here.
The internet has isolated so many people.
Now, we've got two things happening.
The first video, we got retards in government.
And for this video, young people in such isolated pockets, they're starting to create their own language.
Now, this might not be a real person.
This might be an AI just grabbing the language used by these communities.
But we've seen this trend quite a bit of Gen Z saying things that sound completely insane.
And it's because you get 2,000 people in one community online and they never interact outside of it.
They will start saying weird things and speaking a different language.
It's quite literally how Latin breaks up into the Romance languages.
Yeah.
I do think for this particular post, the guy realized that this was going to be ridiculous and made to and decided to put as many ridiculous words as possible in there to make, and it went viral, clearly.
But there is words like he is like mogging and munting and Foyd's and Moy's.
These are part of his.
Yes.
These are common internet parlance, but he decided to put this all into one tweet, which is why everyone loved it.
I mean, it's like a, it's a hilarious post.
I mean, just with like ridiculous.
But watch this video as well and see your faith in humanity drain.
My friend likes your cameraman.
Cramer man.
Cameraman likes you.
What's your name?
I want to eat.
Tell us your name.
Yo, W. His name is Kurt.
Kurt.
My friend likes your cameraman.
This is real life.
I'm sorry.
Like when I was a teenager, I did not like we did not have these kinds of people where I grew up.
Everybody was lucid, you know.
This is extremely common on college campuses.
Like this, every other.
Not when I was hanging out at college campuses.
I mean, it's common to see these types.
I mean, they would at least be smart enough to not do that on camera.
But the fact that there's like a cameraman, they're streaming, and then they go up and they say this type of stuff when that's going to be broadcast to at least there's like tens of thousands of people watching.
And then if it goes on to X or Twitter, it's going to be broadcast to millions of people.
You would know not to go up to a camera and say something like that.
I saw a really funny video on Instagram earlier.
It's this what I assume is a young woman with insane amounts of surgery and lip fillers.
And it was like a chat roulette thing or whatever the kids are doing these days.
And the guy, there's a guy, a young guy, and he's talking to her and he goes, You're a guy.
And she's like, no, I'm not.
He's like, you are a guy, right?
You're a guy.
And she's like, why would you say that?
And he's like, oh, like, so the thing is, my theory on why women are starting to just get lip fillers and look this way is either intentionally or unintentionally, media is encouraging women to look like trans women.
He's the female version of that.
He is.
Yeah, they're looking small.
He's taking the female version of trans women.
Yeah, because they take surgeries and jokes to try to look like the male version.
Oh, male version of that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
By like bashing his face and trying to callus his, I don't know, his cheekbones and then taking steroids, obviously, and then I don't know, other stimulants to lose weight and whatnot.
Yeah, that's necessary to mog the other moids.
How is he going to mog the moids if he is not breaking his mind?
He's frail, though.
He's like very frail.
He's a tiny man.
As far as like his to be on test to be that small, are you kidding?
Like, yeah, he's very times.
He doesn't work out as much as other people.
He's like, thinks that that's it goes against his credo of some sort to try that hard to work out.
He just prefers like just taking the steroids and the supplements.
I kind of think he does exemplify, though, a growing archetype of younger male who's just like looking to be out there with the girls, like have a good time, be liked, look to look smacked to what ends really attractive women.
This isn't uncommon.
Right.
So we've got, we've got the clavicular Gen Zers.
You've got Zoomer Waffen, and then you've got a bunch of Kami Zoomers.
So the next generation will be screwed.
Hopefully, back to Neocon.
Well, we're going to have hope for the Zoomers.
Not all of them are either clavicular or communist.
I think Claviculars, he's like a real life comic book character and he goes out there.
I was comparing him to one to like, imagine a modern Borat type character who's this ridiculous person who shouldn't like exist as like normal people.
Cops and Cameras00:07:08
And he goes out and has these bizarre interactions with people that are pretty funny.
So I find a lot of his content funny.
I don't follow that closely, but what little I see, it amuses me and I can understand the entertainment value.
So I'm not an avid watcher of his, but my favorite clip was when he was doing drugs on stream, gets a text from his father saying, like, you're such a disappointment.
I'm just going like, oh man, guys, my dad thinks I'm a loser.
Yeah, it's like such a good clip.
It was so good.
It's the new level of reality charging.
It's better.
It's way funnier than like reality TV was in the 2000s.
And you could tell it was like too scripted and artificial.
This is much more real and I think a lot funnier.
It's also the fact that I think in the 2000s people, as we were saying, most people would see cameras in their face.
They're like, oh, I'm not going to say stupid.
No, I see.
But now they're like, I'm absolutely going to say stupid stuff with a camera in my face.
This goes to an argument that I made before.
People that are in Gen X, some millennials, definitely boomers, they still care about privacy.
They still care about being able to control what people see and stuff like that.
Gen Z and younger millennials and Gen Alpha, they don't care because they assume that everything's recorded.
Because generally, everything is.
If you're in public, there's going to be a phone, there's going to be security cameras.
They just assume that there is no privacy anymore.
So they'll do whatever they're going to do with cameras in their face.
And that's largely because they just assume that cameras are watching, anyways.
And I remember growing up, like there would be like they'd interview local old people on local TV and they'd be asking like, let me ask you about your pumpkin passion.
And these old people are like, I don't want to be on camera.
You know, it'd be something totally non-controversial and they'd get upset about the camera, but it's completed with Zoomers.
Zoomers see a camera and they run to it.
I see a lot of those auditor videos and it's like the weirdest culture ever.
Have you seen the culture of auditors?
I hate those.
They're just like, I'm a guy and I'm going to go film whatever I want.
Now, to be fair, like people react poorly.
If I was walking down the street and there's a guy filming, I'd be like, hi.
Wait, you know what they're actually trying to achieve, right?
What?
Antagonize people?
A lawsuit with law enforcement.
There's stated reasons for what they're doing versus I disagree.
Sometimes they want lawsuits.
I think if you think about the principal motivation, it's likely boredom.
And they're asserting a purpose-driven meaning behind what they're doing.
That's what they call it, auditing.
They're saying, I'm so you're doing something that is intentionally antagonistic and you know it, and you're doing it because you're auditing whether or not they'll let you do it because it's First Amendment right stuff.
And that's why, like, bro, if you're walking down the street and someone's filming, you can just avoid the camera, you know, just go around them, walk the other way.
It's funny these people are like, you can't film me.
And they walk up to him.
Yeah.
And yeah, or the auditor, they'll walk up to the auditor and be like, why are you filming here?
You can't film me.
And he's like, you walked up to me, lady.
So, but it is, it is like the most annoying content imaginable because I find the auditors themselves to be largely annoying.
And then I find the responses from the people around them to be substantially more annoying.
So the whole video is just an exercise in pure annoyance.
I'm like, swipe.
I'm not watching that garbage.
You know exactly how they're going to go.
It's just, it's like the sovereign citizens, right?
Like, you get pulled over.
Maybe the camera's not there, but they're there to push the cops' buttons.
They're like, all right, now's my chance.
You know, they're trying to get out of something.
They're trying to get out of the dewy or something.
I'm not driving.
I'm traveling.
And some of these guys aren't even doing it as kind of a troll.
They're like, it's like a really earnest, like, autism.
Yeah.
And you almost start to root for the cop.
And sometimes the cop isn't even much of like being rooting for the cop.
Well, there's health, they will make you root for the cop when you're just like, I am not rolling down my window.
And you know what I love?
I love how in all these body camera video videos, the person says, I want to talk to your supervisor.
Like, my guy, I don't think you understand how committing a crime works.
You can't ask for the manager when you've broken the law.
And there's a video I watched where the cop is like, man, your tag has expired.
So, you know, I'm going to need your license registration.
She goes, I want a supervisor.
He's like, I am the supervisor.
She's like, I want your supervisor.
He's like, no.
What do you think is going to happen?
You don't get to.
He's like, you're getting a ticket.
You can call after.
People are nuts, dude.
I watched these videos are really crazy.
I did a big video.
I watched this video of this street racer as they crashed.
Car flipped over.
It was totally gnarly.
And this young woman just starts, she won't shut up.
She just keeps talking to the cops.
After they decide they're going to arrest her for street racing, she decides to have like a 10-minute conversation with them, explaining everything she did and why she shouldn't get arrested.
And do you know what she actually did?
Confessed to all of the crimes to the cops.
She goes, I know that I was speeding, but I wasn't speeding that much.
And I shouldn't be arrested because, you know, I saw the lights, but I had to stop.
You know, I had to, because the car had flipped over and I have first aid training, so I have to do it.
And then the cops are like, okay, well, you know, you're under arrest.
And then she just keeps going.
And I'm like, she's just confessing to all the crimes they're trying to charge her with.
This is people, what are they doing?
People are dumb.
And like a lot of times, people want validation.
They're like, look, I was doing the bad thing, which is, you know, admitting to committing a crime.
But here's the reason.
And so you should let me go because this real good justification for breaking the law.
It's like, well, shut up, say nothing.
Cop to it.
Get processed.
Take your court date.
Yep.
Telling the cops anything doesn't help.
The most important thing to understand about talking to cops is that if they misremember, you're going to prison forever.
Like the assumption most people make is, oh, the cops aren't going to lie.
No, but they can make a mistake.
And that's the, and that happens quite a bit.
So she said something like, I forgot the analogy that I used.
She said, you could say something like, I wasn't speeding, right?
You said, you, you could, you could speak with perfect elocution and enunciation and say, I was not speeding.
Let's say you say it quickly and go, I wasn't speeding.
And the cop here, I was speeding.
And then he goes to court, stands on the stands.
He said, I was speeding.
And you go, no, no, no, no.
I said, I wasn't speeding.
And that's not what I heard.
So just don't say anything.
This reminds me of a clip of an Asian man with a female officer just struggling and she shot.
He should end up getting shot.
But like, he made it sound like he was saying that he was driving drunk or something when he was just totally struggling to even communicate basic words.
Have you seen the video of the, it's like an old video from the 90s of, I don't know if it was like a Scottish guy or something.
He had an ad in the newspaper saying, house for rent, no Asians.
And the reporter comes up and they were like, we saw this report in the newspaper saying no Asians.
He's like, yeah.
He's like, why no Asians?
And he goes, there are a bunch of crooks there.
And he's like, well, you can't say that.
And he's like, why not?
It's true.
And then he was like, this is a crime.
He's like, no, it's not.
And then he, and then he was like, the reporter's like, yeah, you can't discriminate.
You can't discriminate against people like this.
And he's like, well, I don't understand why you're so mad.
All they do is come in, do the listing for you, and then take a fee.
And then the reporter goes, agents.
Sponsor Spotlight: Qualia Stem Cells00:02:02
You mean agents?
And he goes, yeah, agents.
So he calls it in.
He says, no agents.
And they write Asians.
And that's how you can find yourself in prison for hate speech.
Especially in the UK.
Now, the funny thing is, if that happened today, he'd just get arrested.
And he'd be like, no, I said agents.
And they'd be like, agents?
Agents.
I can't speak English.

Just Cause I'm Free says, I think more companies should do what Turning Point did.
Business Play Analysis00:15:55
Not a fan of country music, but it was better than listening to music I don't understand the lyrics to.
I want disturbed Metallica and ACDC.
There you go.
I hear you on that one.
We need all that remains.
I mean, it'd be nice.
Hey, hit up Turning Point next year's show.
Jay Dirtbiker says, Can we invoke the Communist Control Act already?
I wish.
It's still a law.
Like the Supreme Court has found sections of it unconstitutional, but the whole law is still a law, and they should enforce it.
They should say, all right.
No commies.
B. Stevens says, Tim, you're so wrong.
It's sad.
The song they play at the bar, everyone knows, is Mr. Brightside.
I've never heard a Bohemian Rhapsody at a bar.
You are wrong, sir.
While it is correct that Mr. Brightside, I think, has had the longest run of top single sales.
It was crazy.
I think it was like, we were going over the math a few years ago, and Mr. Brightside, for a decade, stayed on the top sales chart forever.
And it is one of the worst songs imaginable.
I despise it.
I don't like it.
I will leave if it comes on.
And that's the point.
I've never been in a bar where everyone's saying Mr. Brightside, have you guys?
No, no.
Yes.
You have, where everyone's saying it is.
And by the way, it's the number one white person song.
Like, the minorities don't love it, but white people live for Mr. Brightside.
Totally.
I hate that song.
And they yell it at the top of their lungs, especially the dudes.
Are you kidding me?
I feel like that embodies young men feel like that extra.
Maybe if you're at like a hipster bar.
No, no, like mainstream, young, white.
Yes.
What are you doing?
No, you're not going to go to a biker bar and have people sing Mr. Brightside, but they will sing the bad rationale in the hipster bars.
No, they're not.
Yeah, they are.
No, they're not.
They are.
In my experience, they are.
Spanish language ones.
TT Me Progunta.
They love that song.
Sing the first line from that song.
TT Me Progunta.
Is that actually it?
Yeah, that's how it starts.
That's his number one hit song that he liked.
I've never heard it.
If you watched the Super Bowl last night, you heard it.
You don't hang around a lot of Hispanics.
You're not around many Hispanics here in West Virginia.
That's true.
But when did that song come out?
Two years ago.
I love that video where someone was asking football players what their favorite Bad Bunny song was.
And one guy goes, I don't know, but I think she's got some good ones.
The first time I heard Bad Bunny, I thought it was a woman.
I thought it was going to be some like Nicki Minaj type.
I do think, though, this was a good business decision by the NFL to try to draw in more non-traditional fans to the sport.
It might have played better at a FIFA match.
You are wrong.
What?
Wrong about what?
You want Spanish speakers from Puerto Rico, you can play Desposito.
And American English speakers will dance.
I guarantee you, if they played Desposito at the Super Bowl halftime show, I was at MGM, everybody would be singing.
Because even I know that song.
I don't know the words, but I know all the melodies of it and the harmonies.
But Hispanics don't particularly love football.
They like soccer.
And I think they give them an excuse or a reason to watch.
My point is, by choosing Bad Bunny, who was doing Spanish rap, which was largely a melodic, just words in Spanish, you made people leave the show.
Like we saw from those metrics, assuming they're true, around half the people watching the football, watching the Super Bowl left.
And I tuned that for sure.
I pulled up my phone and pulled up the halftime show.
If they played real music I knew, like here's the thing.
I was talking to people and I had my phone on and Kid Rock's playing.
And I said, I'm not a big Kid Rock fan, but I still have heard Ball with the Ball and Cowboy or whatever.
And if he's singing, I'm going to go, oh, yeah, I know this song.
Yeah, Ba with the Ba, whatever.
I had no idea.
Guys, I got to be honest.
I have no beef with anybody who likes Bad Bunny.
You're allowed to like whatever music you want.
That's always okay.
To me, it just sounds like, and I'm like, give me something I can attach to, like Gangnam style.
Hey, sexy lady.
You just have an affinity for Koreans.
It's not, give me the macarena, bro.
Give me the macarena.
And give me a melody.
Hey, macarena.
All right.
And I can remember the hook, but like just rapping in Spanish amelodically, there's nothing happening that my brain can connect to.
I got no beef if you like that stuff.
I'm just saying, if they wanted to maximize audience and they wanted to reach an international market and get Spanish speakers, they could have had Shakira, I guess.
I don't know.
I mean, I think that was their business play.
Whether or not it was how much of a personality is super politically divisive.
Yeah.
And they created a mini Bud Light moment for no reason.
It was not a good business decision.
The general idea behind it of let's get a Spanish language artist to do the halftime show so we can push football into more markets.
Great idea.
You have to hybridize it because it's an American English speaking event.
You are trying to bring this to Spanish speakers.
You can't just throw it in the face of the Spanish speakers who don't watch football and then kick out the Americans.
This is the woke.
This is woke.
This is the problem of woke with all the stuff they do, aside from the weird culti-cycle garbage, is they're like, we're making Superman again.
Let's make him gay.
And you're like, no, stop.
Make a gay superhero if you must.
Don't make Superman.
So they made Superboy, and they were like, the new Super Boy comedy is going to be gay.
Or in the new Starfleet Academy, they're like, oh, there's a Klingon and he's gay.
And it's like, guys, no, stop.
Like, you can't just take something and then just jam it.
It's a square peg in a round hole.
They're just bashing with a hammer to force the fit, and it pisses everybody off, and it breaks the hole.
Yeah, I think the whole point of it was the demoralization and the subversion.
Yeah, they had J-Lo and Shakira a few years ago, but that's not really what the young people are listening.
But the thing that the NFL is assuming that the people they piss off with the show, that they're going to stay no matter what, and that they're going to come back.
They might turn it off and go to the Turning Point USA, but they're still going to watch the game because there's no competitor to the NFL for that, for what they offer.
In 2022, this is 55, they had, what do they have?
Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar.
Exactly.
Kendrick for the younger crowd, Eminem for the older crowd, and you're bringing everyone together for a big show.
That's how you do it.
And everybody praised it.
Does it matter that Eminem took a knee during the show?
I can complain about someone's politics, but when we're talking about the business decisions of the NFL, bringing on older and younger artists together because they're trying to create something that's going to appeal to everybody, I can respect that while saying Eminem shouldn't take a knee.
And then you have with this show with Bad Bunny, he may stream really well internationally, but Americans tuned out.
That's a terrible business decision.
You know what it is?
I'm going to say it like I said it for a Bud Light.
When the Bud Light thing happened, I said it's going to be some millennial woman who recently got promoted to the marketing department who decided to change their image.
And then sure enough, that's exactly who it turned out to be.
This woman who was like, we're going to not be the Frat Boys anymore.
And then she brought on Dylan Lulvaney, who I believe is a sociopath, and destroyed their brand for which they have never recovered, which is insane.
Here's the thing about what you want to talk about a bad business decision?
Whether or not Turning Point's show was good or bad, like all the corporate media being like, it was a boring show and it was stupid.
They shouldn't have done it.
Who cares?
They've got 20 million hits on YouTube.
You can discount Rumble.
You can discount the Charlie Kirk channel.
I'll say, Turning Point USA's YouTube channel got 20 million hits.
I do sales.
We have a sales team.
I guarantee you.
Turning point is now going to be able to, whether they do or not, because they're non-profit.
I don't know if they, if they will, they can now have their agent call every major brand and say, 20 million views, sponsor the spot.
We'll put you Turning Points halftime show brought to you by Coca-Cola or whatever, and we'll charge you X amount of dollars.
Why did the NFL create a competitor opportunity?
That is the stupidest thing you could possibly do.
They knew it was coming.
They knew people were pissed off.
They knew it was divisive.
And Bad Bunny said he was going to wear a dress.
And this was really controversial and ended up not doing it, probably because they were like, that's too much.
Or maybe it was a gag, whatever.
The point is, the moment the NFL knew they were splitting any amount of their audience.
Like, I got to be honest.
Imagine you sell t-shirts for a company and your marketing guy comes in and says, I got a great idea for our company.
We are going to excise 30% of our customer base.
You'd be like, what?
Why would we want to reduce our sales by 30%?
Because they're MAGA.
No, I'd rather not do that.
I'd rather keep making money.
We want more people, right?
If the argument is they brought in Bad Bunny because they want to reach more people, why cut out 30, 40%?
Which they basically did.
That's the stupidest business decision you could possibly make.
There's a famous quote from Michael Jordan that said, Republicans buy sneakers too.
It's fake.
Apocryphal.
Now I'm fake news.
Never mind.
He said, I think it was, yeah, Republicans buy shoes or conservatives buy shoes too.
And it's a fake quote, you're saying.
I'm pretty sure that is a fake quote that was hearsay from someone else who claimed Michael Jordan said something to that effect, and I think it was denied.
I'm looking at an ESPN article that says, Michael Jordan stands firm on Republicans buy sneakers too, quote, says it was made injustice.
Well, it was reflective of how he went about business because people wanted him to get involved in politics and endorse Democratic politicians.
And even if he didn't say that, that was still his mindset.
But the NFL isn't really going with that with the halftime shows as they've given it over to Jay-Z.
And Jay-Z has decided to do culture war with it and do things that is not going to please older Americans.
Because older Americans did not like last year's Super Bowl show either, had no older audiences or older audience artists.
And I think you make a good point is that in order to make it appealing, you'd have artists that they like and have them more featured.
Like if he did Shakira and Bad Bunny, I'm sure people would have been less upset about it.
So clarification.
I was incorrect that it was apocryphal.
It was that it wasn't a serious comment.
It was a passive joke.
So I remember when this story got a lot of traction a few years ago, 2020, it was people were claiming that he was legitimately in a business meeting where he was like, Republicans buy sneakers too.
And that he was seriously saying, whereas it sounds at the time, it was a hearsay quote from someone else where they were like talking to him passively and he said something like, hey, Republicans buy shoes, right?
You know, it was meant to be more of a, I don't really care.
That reflexive idea, though, is how people should be thinking, at least business-wise, when it comes to things like this, in my estimation.
Imagine if I like came in here and just said, hey, I have an idea.
Let's kill, like, like reduce half the viewers of Timcast IRL for no reason by only speaking in Spanish.
Why would you do that ever?
Like, we're going to do Tim PSIRF for next year just in Spanish because we want to reach a new audience.
How about you do a Spanish translation version and everyone can like, why would you create an opportunity for your competition to do this?
It's just, it's remarkably dumb.
Anyway, we got to read more of these chats.
We've been prattling on.
Let's see.
NNY says, cool, a lot is here.
Please thank him for his pointed and direct question at the White House.
He drives me nuts, but we need that kind of pushback if we're going to get Trump to do anything but vanity projects.
Look at that.
Thank you guys for keeping up with my work.
And I work hard in there for you guys, and I appreciate the support.
Thank you.
Shergall says the equal sign thing is explained by S-Mime conversion probably from importing it for search purposes.
I think so, but it also appears in PDFs, like raw files that they published.
Anyway, what else we got?
Bueno Malio says, Tim, the equal sign is a text processing error for new line carriage returns.
Well, there you go.
Devin Grissom says, just a theory, but any chance all of the equal signs are typing errors from a boomer?
Well, we already figured out what exactly that was because people have pointed it out.
So thank you to all.
All right, let's see.
Samurai Ik Yokan says, Tim, your views are down because YouTube blocks feed from subs too.
So views are down for a few reasons.
Right now, our concurrent viewership peaked around like 41,000, I think, for the show, which is like political offseason pretty good for us.
So obviously every four years, there's a flow of politics.
In midterm years, we do pretty well.
Primary years, we do great.
Presidential election years are massive, millions of views.
It's crazy.
And then after the presidential election, everybody's views drop.
In the last, in 2021, we averaged around 27,000, 28,000 in the offseason.
We're averaging around 40K now.
We split between YouTube and Rumble, 41.
However, that is down from the 55 to 60 we were getting a couple weeks ago.
And that is likely due to the fact that I was out for a week, which means that people who watch the show principally for me don't tune in.
And then after a week, YouTube slows down recommendations to these individuals.
Then I come back, people start tuning back in.
They start touching for the show again.
Recommendations start increasing once more.
So I will also add that my morning show is the number one of the last 10.
So the way YouTube works is every video you put up, it shows you when you log in your video compared to the last nine videos and it ranks them.
If your videos are at least four and above every time you put a video up, that means your channel is growing.
If your videos are at five and they stay around five, that means you're stagnant.
If your videos every time you upload are five or below, it means your channel is shrinking.
So my morning show today was number one out of 10.
It was the most viewed of the morning shows I've put out in the last 10 days, working days.
So all in all, you know, it is what it is.
I've been afloat of politics.
If we were doing any other kind of content, we wouldn't be facing this.
It's a purely political thing, which negatively impacts political channels making money.
It's just a reality of it.
There's a lot of content that, you know, March 2020 or 2021 or 25, politics are over.
The money dries up.
Everybody's exhausted and nobody wants to hear it.
They want to go away.
Like, I did my job.
I'm done.
And they stop paying attention.
We're entering a midterm year now, though, which means all of these congressional candidates are going to be dumping insane amounts of money into their races.
It's the most important election ever.
And that's true because every election, it's getting more and more dire.
So everybody says it.
So I think we're going to be looking at one of the most expensive congressional runs ever.
It's life or death.
The Republicans, Trump administration specifically, knows if they lose this midterm, they're all going to prison and there's going to be impeachments.
So you are going to see money spent like you have not seen.
And that means, oh boy, we may, right now, politics ranks at like number 18 in CPMs.
For a midterm year, we shouldn't expect it, but I wouldn't be surprised.
I'm not saying it'll happen if political content becomes the number one CPM based on competition.
It may go down then with volume.
Finance right now is number one.
You make a video about finance, you're getting $20 to $40 CPMs.
It's bonkers.
Yeah.
That's crazy, right?
Financial audit.
Caleb's crushing it.
Yeah.
Making Money Videos00:03:39
Caleb Hammer on YouTube.
Yeah, if you make videos, if you make videos about how to make money, student loan debt was really big.
Here's the secret.
If you track, you can actually look up the most valuable words for Google's algorithm.
It used to be much different 20 years ago back when it was just like for websites.
But there were people who would make mesothelioma websites.
That's all they would do.
Wow.
Because the search volume, the CPMs were so massive, they were like $40 to $60, some insane number.
So people would go online, buy a domain, make a mesothelioma website, and then put ads on it.
Those ads would be for law firms and then compete for Google ranking and they were making insane amounts of money.
And student loans is always really big.
It's changed a little bit now because young people don't care for college and there's no young people.
But when millennials were in their mid to late 20s, student loan, student loan debt, debt forgiveness were all massive terms worth tons of money.
Meaning if your video contained those words, it would run ads against them that were related to this.
And you're getting paid.
Cashing in.
Yep.
All right.
SXDX says, look at the dislike ratio on Bad Bunny versus TPSA's show.
It's significant.
You can't see the actual dislikes anymore and it's fake.
People are downloading extensions where they have these extensions that say they can really show you the thumbs down.
It's not real.
I got hit up by somebody and they were like, yo, what's going on with your channel?
Like, all your videos are massively disliked.
And I was like, no, they aren't.
I was like, what do you mean they're all 98% thumbs up?
And he's like, that's not what I'm getting.
And I'm like, how are you getting that?
Because you can't see my dislikes anyway.
He had an extension and it was showing all my videos massively disliked.
So I just screenshot it and I was like, it's, bro, it's 12,000 likes with all thumbs up.
What are you talking about?
These things can't get internal data from YouTube and people think the dislike ratios are real.
You're seeing what you want to see, brother.
All right.
What do we got here?
Let's grab some more.
Alex Blenagawa says, Bad Bunny volunteers had height requirements for performance of between 5'7 and 5'10 and 6'1, depending on sources.
What happened to equity?
Give them platform shoes.
The equity guild is trait-based when it's them.
The equity guild are communists who will steal everything they can while claiming they're doing right.
Hassan Piker exemplifies this perfectly.
He'll electrocute his dog over and over again while pretending to be the good guy.
He'll buy a multi-million dollar mansion in one of the wealthiest parts of the country while talking about everyone getting ripped off.
And then he says he deserves it.
I mean, come on.
That dude, I'd be willing to bet I give more than he does.
And these liberals, I love this.
Elon Musk tweeted, money can't buy happiness, which is incorrect.
There's two ways to look at it.
First is that if you are poor, dirt poor, money will buy you a lot of happiness because it'll stabilize your life and it'll reduce a lot of your stress.
So you'll be very happy to get a sum of money that allows you to pay your bills and you might even cry with joy.
Secondly, Elon could buy tons of happiness for other people.
I'm not saying he should or has to, but if Elon goes to a diner and he spends 20 bucks on eggs and bacon, that waitress who's making 20, 30 bucks an hour, maybe if she's lucky with tips, he can write her a check.
He can write on the bill a thousand dollar tip, and he just bought a ton of happiness for her.
So I posted that and Hunter Avalon was like, in all caps, Tim Poole discovers empathy.
And then Olivia responded, she was like, from say that to the guy who offered to help you with anything you needed after someone tried to murder you.
Because after he was, froze I don't know, he was in West Virginia, someone broke and tried to murder him with his girlfriend.
And then I was like, bro, anything you need, you need a place to stay.
Empathy And Strangers00:04:30
We're not that far away.
We got you.
We'll take care of you.
And then he's just an asshole.
Sorry for swearing.
He's just a bad person.
And this is what the left is.
They pretend to be empathy.
They pretend to be nice while burning everything down.
My favorite is how they're like, oh, yeah, conservatives, you're against abortion.
How many people have you adopted?
Look at the stats.
Conservatives adopt substantially higher rates than liberals do.
Yet, you're the one.
Yeah, so don't make that.
Like, it's ridiculous.
They're just pretending.
Anyway, we're going to go to the uncensored portion of the show.
We're going to play a fun game.
We can play Ethno Guesser again.
That'll be fun.
Smash the like button.
Share the show with everyone you've ever.
Oh, there's a new game we got to pull up.
There's a new game.
Yeah, we'll pull this one up.
It's figuring out which country the person was deported to.
We'll pull that one up.

Hey, look at that.
We got it working.
So, before we play Deport Guesser, we're going to have fun with this.
This is called Bandal.
This is the best.
I love this thing.
I played it like non-stop.
We have a song.
You know what?
With the people watching, we're going to get this song in like just the drums.
So, here's the way it works.
What's going on?
You got to do it.
So, it'll first play the drums, then the bass, and the guitar, and the organ, then the strings of the bells, and the voice, and then they'll give you a clue.
It's a song from 1998.
It's got 1.1 billion views on YouTube, and it's considered easy.
Can we guess the song from Just the Drums?
Anybody?
Nope.
We got chat.
Come on, chat.
That's it.
I know that we'll be able to get this.
We have so many people watching.
Hit me, baby, one more time.
Oh, maybe.
Still Got Points00:14:21
No, I don't think so.
No.
There's no organ in it, is there?
Yeah, I don't remember an organ and hit me baby one more time.
All right, nobody, we're skipping to the bass.
Actually, yeah, it is.
Say me baby one more time?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yep.
Really?
Oh, no, what's the actual name?
Oh, um.
Oh, my God.
How do you spell Brittany's name?
Oh, okay.
It's Brittany.
She puts up the best Instagram post, by the way.
Oh, that was it.
Okay, good job.
That was it.
Yep.
Wow.
Oh, wow.
Once the bass came in, I was like, yeah, okay, all right.
It's a great game.
Now we're going to play the next game.
Deportee Guesser.
Hey, let's go.
Oh, so it's real people.
Yeah, that's so good.
David Herrera Rodriguez removed from Orlando, Florida for burglary and larceny.
Where did he come from?
Nicaragua.
I'm going to say... I'm going to think it's like...
This one, Honduras.
Yeah, Honduras maybe, or I was thinking, no, Nicaragua was a good guess.
I actually.
Islands, maybe.
Islands?
Yeah, one of those.
He's too dark-skinned.
I wanted to say Dominican, but it could be Cuba or Dominican Republic.
Could be Dominican.
I still go.
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe Dominican.
I'm going to go with Dominican Republic.
This is some elite Hispanic knowledge right now.
When they hyphenate the last name like that, I forgot what it means, but it means.
Okay, are we going Dominican Republic?
That's one of the towels.
Dominican Republic.
Oh, I kind of feel bad for him for something back there.
Just kidding.
We were pretty close.
That should have known that.
You're in some of the Venezuelans are darker.
Okay, here we go.
Oh, this guy's got to be like...
Bode Kanu, he's got to be...
He's got to be...
Nigeria?
No, wait.
Haiti?
Haiti?
Kanu?
You think Haiti?
Kanu does it.
I don't think that guy's Haitian.
He's Africa.
No.
Yeah, he's Africa.
He's Africa.
So his offense is homicide, willful kill, weapon intimidation.
