Trump Plans To FIRE Up To 50,000 Government Employees After Winning In 2024, He Got My Vote!
Trump Plans To FIRE Up To 50,000 Government Employees After Winning In 2024, He Got My Vote! A Trump Administration would bring on Kash Patel, Peter Navarro and other former officials to clear out the deep state.
To Correct the opening statement Trump himself did not publicly announce this but is apparently making plans behind the scenes to gut the establishment and deep state in washington.
Democrats of course are in total panic and Republican uniparty politicians are not happy.

Trump has announced he will fire tens of thousands of civil servants and gut the government to sort his agenda if he runs and wins in 2024.
Okay, I'm voting for Trump.
It's done.
That's all I needed to hear, Mr. President.
You tell me you're going to fire everyone and I say, okay, where do I vote?
When do I vote?
Tell me where to be.
All right, hold on a minute, hold on.
As much as that is exactly what I want to hear, we are still an eternity away from 2024, and Trump could, I don't know, run over a bag of puppies or something ridiculous, and I'd be like, maybe I don't want to vote for the guy.
Based on this alone, and Trump's track record though, yeah, I'm very much wanting to vote for him now, and I'll tell you why.
Ron DeSantis, in my opinion, better leader.
I know, I know, the Trump diehards, they say, Tim, you are wrong.
We need Trump and all that stuff.
I'm like, look man, I really do like Donald Trump.
I think there's bad things about him.
I don't like his character, a lack of decorum, but as I often say, those things are not so important to the bigger picture.
And that's kind of why, I don't know, I am where I am.
Look, Trump supporters don't care that Trump calls somebody horseface.
They think it's funny, actually, and they like it.
Me?
I think the horseface thing is funny if you're going to be an entertainer.
I don't know if it's a good thing if you're the President of the United States.
But I also don't care all that much if you call someone horseface in the long run.
Sure, I'd like a president that's going to inspire young people and inspire this nation to be proud and honorable.
And I really prefer a president with military experience.
Sounds like Ron DeSantis.
I mean, he's done a phenomenal job in Florida with protecting the economy, with growing the economy, with fighting culture war issues.
Don't know how he'd be on domestic policy, but I think if you were to take them as their character, Ron DeSantis, 100%.
But I think part of that is why Ron DeSantis probably would not purge the deep state, the bureaucratic state, the administrative state, whatever you want to call it.
Donald Trump came out right now and said exactly what I wanted to hear.
Because I've been going on TimCast IRL, our nightly show, for those that don't know, and I've been saying, I like DeSantis better, but Donald Trump is more likely to purge the corrupt crony establishment, to gut the establishment, to get rid of the bureaucratic state, and we desperately, desperately need someone to clean house.
While I think DeSantis would be better, I don't know if he'd do it.
So when Trump comes out and says he'd fire tens of thousands of civil servants, I'm like, uh, yeah, okay.
So now we've got the mainstream media coming out, talking about Trump's 2025 radical plan.
Or how he plans to reimpose Schedule F. I love how they talk about Schedule F, as if it's like Order 66 from the Empire, uh, from the Emperor.
Like Donald Trump goes, execute Schedule F.
And then, like, the feds go, you're fired, you're fired, and just start firing everybody, and they're like, no, we're all being fired.
Yes, Trump, please do this.
Please.
There's a lot going on.
Questions about who will be the VP?
Maybe.
It'll be Ron DeSantis.
Now, the other night, Marjorie Taylor Greene said the president and the vice president can't be from the same state.
I believe she was incorrect.
I didn't know that, and so I fact-checked it today, and it seems that's actually not true.
Now, far be it from me to be a legal expert, maybe it is, but I believe it's not.
Donald Trump recently went to New Jersey, so he's not in Florida anymore, and if he declares his residence as New Jersey, well then, should be particularly interesting either way.
I really do think there's a strong possibility of a Vice President DeSantis.
Because as much as many people are saying that DeSantis wouldn't want to do it, he wants to run.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
DeSantis will run.
Donald Trump and DeSantis will be on the debate stage.
Trump will win.
And then he'll walk over to DeSantis, shake his hand, and say, let's do this.
Because who else is going to be Pence?
No way.
Trump-DeSantis 2024?
It's going to be revolutionary.
And when Donald Trump gets in, I hope.
I hope he sticks to this plan.
Because I'm going to tell you, my friends, Trump promised to drain the swamp, and that's why many people voted for him.
Did he?
No.
Well, some say he didn't drain it of the swamp monsters.
He did drain the swamp, exposing the swamp monsters, and fair point.
Fair point.
In his first term, he drained the swamp waters, but not the swamp monsters.
Unfortunately, he actually brought some swamp monsters in, like Bolton.
Okay.
Well, I'll tell you this.
If my pick is between Biden, Harris, Buttigieg, Newsom, and Trump... Trump.
And if it's between Trump and DeSantis, I gotta say, I would rather bet on the guy who's saying it's time to fire the bureaucratic state.
Let's talk about this story.
Let's read it.

We had a really interesting conversation with Marjorie Taylor Greene yesterday about what Republicans plan to do When they take power in November, or I should say truly in January, but what are they going to do as it pertains to the 2020 election with their views on it?
I'm not saying you have to agree with them on their views.
What actions will they take?
Marjorie told some really interesting stories.

Without further ado, here's the big news.
Aw man, I'm just gonna... When I saw this story, Trump would fire tens of thousands of civil servants, I just imagined the Elmo emoji with the fires raging behind it.
I don't know if it's a guarantee because Trump can say a lot of things, but this, this is Trump whispering sweet nothings into my ear.
It doesn't mean he's being honest.
The Daily Mail reports, Donald Trump has plans to purge the so-called deep state by I want to shout out Michael Malice.
I'm curious as to your thoughts.
I have to imagine that the anarchists are all laughing and cheering.
in 2024 and as many as 50,000 government workers could find themselves on the chopping block.
I want to shout out Michael Malice. I'm curious as to your thoughts.
I have to imagine that the anarchists are all laughing and cheering, the real ones at least.
Come on, come on.
Antifa should be screaming and cheering for this.
Yes, Mr. President, please fire 50,000 government employees.
Yeah, but they're not going to because they're saying now, look, Trump's going to fire the employees to install his loyalists.
Shut up.
He's not going to be able to hire 50,000 people.
He's going to fire 50,000 people and then try to hire who he can.
Whatever.
It's a good start.
The former president, if elected again, would move in with a plan being drawn up now to drain the swamp and cut tens of thousands of civil servants from what are typically apolitical roles, according to Axios.
B.S.
They're not apolitical.
Almost all of them are Democrats.
He would clean house of mid-level staffers of the Pentagon, Justice Department, State Department, and beyond, and bring in thoroughly vetted candidates who are found to be more closely aligned with his America First agenda.
After interviews with over a dozen Trump world insiders, the outlet's investigation found that Trump is planning to use an executive order called Schedule F, which he issued in October 2020 and Biden later rescinded.
The order would reclassify tens of thousands of civil servants who are deemed to have some influence over policy as Schedule F employees, which would strip them of their employment protections.
Ah yes, let's jump over to Axios.
I just want Donald Trump.
I'm imagining it more of him being like, Execute Schedule F.
When in reality, he's gonna be like, Schedule, execute Schedule F, please.
Get it done.
Fire everybody.
Sources close to former President Trump say he would immediately reimpose Schedule F if he takes back the White House in the 2024 presidential election, Jonathan Swan reports.
Why it matters?
It would effectively upend the modern civil service and put future presidents in the position of bringing in their own loyalists or reverting to a traditional bureaucracy, Swan reports.
Oh, they're so freaking out!
Trump, man, I don't know if it's true.
I don't know if he'll actually do it, but I would love to see it.
Drain the swamp.
Didn't happen.
Well, again, I'll stress, the waters may have been drained, but the monsters are still there.
Get it done, Trump.
I think Trump learned his lesson.
That's the issue.
A lot of people said, you know, he should have fired Bolton.
He should have pardoned Assange.
He should have pardoned Ross Ulbricht.
He should have done a whole bunch of things he didn't do.
And I'm like, He probably didn't do it because he was thinking.
Light touch, term one.
Heavy hand, term two.

In your first term you want to get a little bit done, but if you want to maximize your effectiveness,
you don't just take one term and go nuclear.
You do a little bit in Term 1 and then you go nuclear in Term 2.
They say, Presidents typically replace about 4,000 political appointees to align agencies with their new agenda, but below them are a mass of federal workers who have strong employment protections and typically continue in their role from one administration to the next.
The Trump official who came up with the Schedule F order said it could apply to as many as 50,000 of the some 2 million federal workers.
Other Trump allies say the figure will not be nearly that high because firing a smaller segment of anti-Trump bad apples would be enough to trigger behavioral change.
Very interesting.
Doing so could strip mid-level government staffers of any sense of job stability and set a new precedent forcing future new presidents to seek out and install their own loyalists through the bureaucracy.
And what's wrong with that?
Who elected these people for indefinite positions?
Fire them.
Russ Vought, the former head of Trump's Office of Management and Budget, is reportedly working on plans to make the security clearance process less onerous, so that more government workers could be made political appointees.
We are consciously bringing on the toughest and most courageous fighters with the know-how and credibility to crush the deep state, Vought told Axios.
While Trump and many of his former top aides and allies are no longer on speaking terms, the former president is relying on a close cadre of still-trusted former advisors who are working with conservative organizations to line up talent.
It's also thought that for top jobs, Trump will bring in only those who most actively supported his 2020 election fraud claims.
Jeffrey Clark, a controversial lawyer who advocated for a plan to contest the election results, and now finds himself in the crosshairs of the January 6th Committee and the FBI, is thought to be in line for Attorney General.
Oh man, just vote Trump 2024, baby!
Policy, policy, whatever!
Trump tells me he's gonna fire everybody, that's all I need to hear.
Sources close to the former president said that Rick Grinnell has a decent shot at a Secretary of State nomination.
As acting Director of National Intelligence, Grinnell was one of Trump's favorite officials toward the end, as he worked to declassify material from the Trump-Russia investigation.
Grinnell, who now works on Newsmax, said to the network, said on the network, sorry, I'm not going to stop until we prosecute Trump's former FBI director, Jim Comey.
Oh man, it's just so much fun.
Kash Patel.
What's up, Kash?
Glad to see you on Timcast IRL.
Would love to have you back on to talk about this.
The Chief of Staff to Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller, at the time of the attack on the Capitol, would likely be in line for a top national security job at the White House if he could make it through a Senate confirmation.
He could even be appointed CIA or FBI director, according to Trump allies.
I would love to see Kash Patel as FBI Director.
Please, restore some accountability to these institutions.
Kash, FBI Director.
That's what I want to see.
CIA, you know, fine, whatever.
I don't know a whole lot about it.
We've had Kash on the show before.
I've talked to the guy.
He's a good dude.
I don't know a whole lot about everything.
You know, Luke really wanted to call him out on Julian Assange stuff.
I get it.
I, you know, we did an event in New York and I went off on the Assange stuff.
My belief is that Donald Trump wanted Assange here because he wants evidence of what we're seeing with the Democratic Party and the Russiagate investigation, and he knows Julian Assange knows something.
But Julian Assange is under no obligation nor the jurisdiction of the U.S.
for these matters, and I don't like that Trump did that.
Now, I'm not going to sit here and pretend Trump administration was perfect in every respect.
Absolutely not.
They upped drone strikes.
I understand the argument as to why they did it.
They wanted to pull troops out and replace it with some kind of deterrent.
I don't know what else you'd do.
Fine.
I'm not a fan, but maybe they're not wrong.
I don't know.
The point is, you take the devil you know, right?
With Donald Trump, I tell you, I went off yesterday with Marjorie Taylor Greene.
I could tell she appreciated it because this one gets me really heated.
They said that Donald Trump was ponying up to dictators.
He crossed the DMZ into North Korea with no security detail.
Ponying up to dictators.
They could have, he had no security and he walked into what is officially enemy territory.
It's a sign of good faith.
It's one of the bravest things I've ever seen a president do.
How dare they?
Look, Donald Trump has his problems.
But I want to stress that to all of you.
Share that with all of your liberal friends.
When they're like, he's trying to be friends with a dictator.
Good.
The DMZ is dangerous.
North, you see these videos of North Korean troops trying to drag South Korean troops across the border.
People being shot trying to flee North Korea.
Trump willfully and without security walked into that country.
Because he wanted peace.
Good for him.
I dig it.
You know, I've had my concerns about the FBI at the news I read.
Let's see Kash Patel take that position.
Patel was a key author behind former Rep.
Devin Nunes' memo accusing the Department of Justice and FBI of abusing surveillance laws in a politically motivated effort to take down Trump.
Former Trump officials still in his orbit who are working on developing personnel policy and legal plans for potential future presidency include Vought, former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, former advisor Stephen Miller, Ed Corrigan, Wesley Denton, Brooke Rollins, James Shirk, Andrew Kloster, and Troop Hemingway.
It's remarkable when you can sit down with people like Patel and Navarro and they tell you straight up, like, here's what we're doing without a beat.
Here's what happened.
Here's what they did.
Here's why they did it.
David Bernhardt, John Ratcliffe, Peter Navarro, and Pam Bondi.
Also had Peter Navarro on the show.
It's remarkable when you can sit down with people like Petel and Navarro and they tell
you straight up like here's what we're doing without a beat.
Here's what happened.
Here's what they did.
Here's why they did it.
Here's what we want to do.
We had Marjorie Taylor Greene on the show yesterday.
I am such a big fan.
Marjorie, you are amazing.
Now, I certainly think, Marjorie, I think you've posted some silly things on Facebook, but I don't know what I'm supposed to say about it.
You know, they talk about her Jewish space laser thing.
She made a post about PG&E and space energy transmission technology, and whether or not it could be used to start fires or something like that, and I'm like, okay, okay.
It's the I'm-just-asking-questions thing.
What am I supposed to say about it?
Am I supposed to care?
This is insane.
That they pull up old garbage.
It's meaningless.
You know what Marjorie Taylor Greene did do when she came on the show?
She just spoke openly and candidly and fearlessly and I was just like, I love it.
I certainly think she can have a bit more tact when it comes to Twitter because we talked about her tweets about Dr. Rachel Levine for sure but you know what I like and why people like Trump?
Marjorie Taylor Greene was talking about the conflict in this country and said sometimes she thinks a national divorce is the right way to go.
You know, we want to avoid a war, and I was just like, whoa!
You're a politician, you're in Congress, and you just come out and say that?
I'm not saying she's wrong.
I'm saying I respect that she's fearless in giving her opinion on that matter without a beat, without missing a beat.
I've talked to so many politicians, we've had politicians on the show, and you'll ask them about the national divorce thing, and they'll say, well, you know, the national divorce issue is, well, it's a pressing issue.
I mean, a lot of people are talking about it.
We've heard a lot from people who are angry about what's happening in this country.
And so, when you hear about national divorce, you've got to understand that people are concerned here.
People, they're worried about what it means.
And so I think it's an issue we should definitely discuss.
And I'm like, what?
You didn't say anything.
Are you for it?
Are you against it?
Are you concerned?
What's your answer?
And they give you politician answers.
Marjorie comes on the show and she's like, here's what I think of him, here's what I think of him.
And I'm like, well, that's refreshing, isn't it?
At least you know if you disagree with her or not.
This is what I like about, you know, Peter Navarro, Cash Patel, they come on the show.
They're just straight up like, here's the thing, here's the thing.
Now hold on there a minute.
Nobody gets freebies.
I certainly think there were a few questions where Cash was like, I don't know if I can answer that question.
Some things are classified.
But I think they're trying to be honest.
They legitimately feel the way they do.
I don't see these people as just trying to exploit things for personal gain.
I think there's a righteous indignation of frustration and legitimate values behind what they're doing.
Not every single one of them, and not all the time.
I'm saying it's the rule, not the exception.
When I see Democrats, it's the exception, not the rule.
They tend to be, many of these people, lying, like AOC pretending to be handcuffed.
Just for gain, for power?
I'm not into that, man.
There are people who are willing to sit down and talk with me.
And I'm willing to say things.
We had Matt Foley on the show.
He just won his primary in Maryland.
And I said, will you vote to impeach Biden?
And he was like, I don't know if we should do that.
And I was like, I think it's a bad idea.
We don't need Republicans going in there and doing nothing.
We need accountability for Biden.
They're willing to come and sit down in front of me when I'll say that to them.
I respect it.
I do.
Very few Democrats, if any, would come.
Human events.
Chris Barron writes, Trump 2024 crushed the establishment.
Elmo emoji.
Fire!
Yes.
I'll read a little bit of what he says in his op-ed, because his title hits the nail on the head with a hammer.
Since the end of Trump's first term, I have wondered, at first to myself and then to a smaller circle of colleagues, in confidence, whether or not Trump should run in 2024.
I firmly believe that had the election of 2020 been played under the rules of 2016, Trump would be heading towards the midterms on a second term.
That's a good point.
I mean, rules were changed, right?
Voting rules, mail-in voting, how COVID affected things.
I agree with that.
I think universal mail-in voting, it made it so ridiculously easy for Democrats to campaign.
They were able to, let's just say, very easily get the votes from people who normally probably wouldn't care.
Every single one of the changes made to how we vote, how we protect or don't protect against voter fraud, every single one of those changes was made to aid Biden.
I don't know if every single one was.
Republicans thought that with their change in the voting rules in Pennsylvania, they have this thing in Pennsylvania, I guess, where you can just be like, I vote Democrat, and then Democrats get everybody.
Republicans thought, okay, we'll do universal mail-in voting, but you don't get the down-ballot vote anymore.
They thought then people might be like Republican, Democrat, Democrat, Republican, and they would make some gains.
Turned out, Well, it may have actually worked a little bit in their favor, but for the most part, no.
It just really helped Democrats, but I do think they were trying to help themselves.
So he goes on.
Talks about 2016, Trump winning the nomination.
In short, he won the nomination and the presidency promising to crush the GOP establishment that had gotten rich, fat, and happy at the expense of the American working class.
And this is what we're seeing.
We are seeing The Republican Party has become more racially diverse and more working class.
The Democratic Party has become wealthier and whiter.
Donald Trump really did speak to a new coalition.
Chris says, I don't care if a Trump presidential run motivates the left.
I don't care if it turns off soccer moms.
What is the point of electing a Republican if that Republican returns us to the bad old days of the pre-Trump GOP?
President Trump is our only hope to permanently crush the GOP establishment.
Nothing is more important.
Ah, you know, I can see it now.
Democratic establishment probably sitting in their chairs seething.
Predicted says who will win the 2024 Republican presidential nomination?
Ron DeSantis at 35 cents.
I was more leaning towards DeSantis before today.
Donald Trump 44 cents.
Trump's supposedly going to announce soon that he's running.
He said, you know, he's made his decision.
The point is what the idea now is before the midterms are after.
I think Trump is going to announce relatively soon.
So, on our side, we're like, hitting up the Trump people like, we need to get Trump on TimCast IRL.
ASAP.
I mean, I think it's a reach, but I would absolutely love to have Trump announce on IRL that he was running for president, because at this point, I've heard enough.
Trump, it's come out that you're gonna fire everybody?
You got my vote.
Now, that may change, because we're still a couple years out, but based on that alone, I will vote for this man again.
I said it the other day.
Based on what Trump did in 2020, I'd go back in time and vote for him in 2016.
When I saw Trump running, I thought, you know, look, he's a bad attitude, character defect, whatever you want to say.
And I just don't believe he's going to do any of this stuff.
Republican, saying all these nice things.
Then Trump gets in and he's like, I'm going to keep my promises.
I'm going to do what I said I'm going to do.
It matters to me.
And I thought to myself, you know what?
I dig it.
There are problems.
There are mistakes.
I get it.
Trump's not perfect.
He's got ego, for sure.
But the economy was doing well.
And the foreign policy, ah, the foreign policy, man.
You want me to say it again?
Abraham Accords.
Commercial flights flying to Israel from over Islamic countries.
Wow.
It's amazing.
Commerce opening up between Israel and some of these countries.
Incredible!
Peace coming to the Middle East!
You just love to see it, man.
You do.
North Korea.
Crossing into that DMZ.
I was nearly in tears.
Seeing what Donald Trump was willing to do in the name of peace.
And to hell with everybody who tried to spit on Trump over what he did that day.
I will not... I refuse to accept the insults on Donald Trump over that day.
I got no problem saying, come on Trump, do you really gotta say horse face?
Be presidential.
But you come to me and tell me that Donald Trump was poning up or trying to, you know, kiss the ass of a dictator by walking into the, you know, North Korea, and I'm like, shut your mouth.
Donald Trump, one of the most courageous things Hey guys, Josh Hammer here, the host of America on Trial with Josh Hammer, a podcast for the First Podcast Network.
Look, there are a lot of shows out there that are explaining the political news cycle, what's happening on the Hill, the this, the that.
There are no other shows that are cutting straight to the point when it comes to the unprecedented lawfare debilitating and affecting the 2024 presidential election.
We do all of that every single day right here on America on Trial with Josh Hammer.
Subscribe and download your episodes wherever you get your podcasts.
And Trump said, let me walk without protection into enemy territory in a sign of good faith.
And that's a standing ovation.
I'm welling up.
I want to see the Korean Peninsula reunited in some way.
I want to see people freed, free to travel, free to live.
And I don't believe Kim Jong Un would do that.
I believe the North Korean regime is sickening.
But that's all the more credit to Donald Trump.
That Kim Jong Un is despotic.
And he's got no reason to change his ways.
So Trump was just risking everything.
I hope people really understand that.
You know, I think the reason I saw it that way is because You know, people often talk about their family histories, and for a lot of people, it really is easy to look back at your European history.
You know, for white people in this country, it's like, my family came from Germany, they came on the boat in this year, and, you know, my family's from Italy, and we went back to the old country.
I know people, it's like, my grandma lives in France, and I, you know, I went and visited her, and my mom moved here, then I was born in America.
For me, my family came from all over.
You know, Britain, Ireland, Germany, and Korea.
And my family, the Korean side of my family, I can't go to the towns of my recent family, my great-grandparents, my grandparents.
I can't Of my grandparents, I should say yes, right?
I should clarify.
My great-grandparents.
Because one of those cities is in the North.
It wasn't North Korea back then.
It was one Korea.
So seeing what Donald Trump... Man, it felt like it was almost deeply personal.
Something that mattered to me.
But that was leadership, and that was bravery.
Now I'll start a round of Santas again, because as much as I can be critical of a lot of what Trump does, and I think it's fair, I always want to stand and defend what he did in North Korea.
Because, you know, the other day, Jamie Kilstein, he's a liberal, progressive guy, but less woke now that he's kind of woken up to what the woke really is.
And he was like, no one's ever explained it to me that way.
That's what Trump did.
They always just said he was trying to pony up to dictators.
But no one's ever actually said it that way.
And I'm like, yeah, they could have just killed him.
And then what?
What, are we really going to go to war?
They could have done whatever they wanted to the man.
Ron DeSantis, he's leadership, my friends.
He is leadership.
What he's done in Florida, he's proven so much.
With the economy, with the culture war issues, with the parental rights and education.
He's got military leadership.
I heard some people say that he was a SEAL.
I don't know if he was a SEAL.
I know he was JAG, so he's got military and legal experience.
That's what I like to hear.
And he's in his 40s?
He's younger?
Maybe what we really need is not for Trump and DeSantis to be head-to-head.
It's for it to be a Trump-DeSantis ticket.
Everybody then goes, don't take DeSantis from us!
Florida needs him!
Yeah, but DeSantis can endorse someone else.
And think about it this way.
If DeSantis becomes Trump's VP, and he endorses another person in Florida, and then that person is as good as DeSantis, we get two DeSantis.
DeSantis is?
DeSantis-i?
DeSanti?
Whatever.
You get the point.
Trump-DeSantis ticket would be phenomenal.
You'd get the PR tact and savvy of Ron DeSantis, and let's not forget Ron DeSantis' wife is also particularly savvy too, and the power behind DeSantis in many ways, and you will get the fierce, The fierceness of Trump, the foreign policy of Trump, I love.
The culture war leadership on DeSantis.
Trump needs someone who's younger, who can explain to him a lot of what DeSantis did and why it worked.
That's why I think that is a ticket right there, my friends.
Trump-DeSantis.
Then after 2028, you get DeSantis for eight more years.
Let's take it, baby.
Now look.
It depends on what happens culturally.
The woke, I think, are destroying the Democrats.
And so, they're paving a pathway for Republicans just to sweep and take over.
It's that simple.
Ron DeSantis and Trump have a clear path because wokeness freaks people out.
And right now what really matters to people is not Steve Bannon.
Steve Bannon, let's see, we got updates here.
Three new updates.
Has he been convicted yet?
There we go.
As I'm recording this, Steve Bannon's found guilty of contempt for defying January 6th committee subpoena.
We knew that was going to happen because a D.C.
jury.
I think it's wrong.
But do the American people care?
No, they don't.
Literally, they don't.
They care about gas prices.
They post videos where they're screaming, why is it a hundred bucks to fill up my tank?
I can't get to work?
Man, it's crazy.
Imagine working, getting paid four or five hundred bucks a week, and you gotta fill up twice a week, two hundred bucks right there.
You get four or five hundred bucks, you gotta pay taxes, you got a hundred bucks left over, how do you pay rent?
Crazy.
Alright, let's be real.
Let's say $500 take home, because no one's getting paid $10 an hour, for the most part.
Let's say you're getting $20, $800, you take home $6, you spend $200 in gas, you got $400 left, and you're just like, I got no money for anything, man.
How do you pay your health insurance?
We gotta do something about this.
We gotta change this.
So this news broke literally two minutes ago as I'm recording this.
They say a federal jury found him.
They reached a verdict.
They found him guilty.
We'll see what that really means.
A federal jury found former Trump advisor Bannon guilty of contempt of Congress.
Bannon didn't even bring any witnesses in.
I think they knew it was going to be case closed.
So what's the strategy here for Bannon?
I don't know.
But I think in the end, I gotta tell you, the Democrats have started arresting former administration officials.
Here we go.
This is what they're doing.
Contempt of Congress.
I think we need to get rid of the speech and debate clause.
I think members of Congress should be held accountable.
And we need This is insane.
The power that Congress has.
Contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas.
It should be a civil lawsuit to force you to comply.
Not jail time.
Not criminal.
Now maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe I'm naive.
Maybe I don't know enough about law.
But I'll wrap with this.
This is exactly why Donald Trump needs to get in and fire everybody.
And not just him.
We gotta get Congress.
Get the incumbents out.
Bring in some real people like Marjorie Taylor Greene.
A real person.
Oh, they hate her so much.
Now, I can mention, you know, I got criticisms of her.
I mention it.
Policy-wise, I don't think I agree with everything she says.
But she's fairly moderate.
She's not even far right like they call her.
She's like, Fairly, fairly moderate.
She talks about, like, well, what people want to do in the privacy of their own homes.
I'm like, that's like a liberal position.
But because she wants accountability, she speaks her mind, they smear her.
We'll see where this Bannon story goes, but I'll tell you one thing.
It ain't gonna be helping Democrats win in November.
We'll see in 2024 about Trump.
Maybe, maybe my position will change.
We'll see what he has to offer.
Next show, next segment's coming up at 8 p.m.
over at youtube.com slash timcast IRL.
Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.
Yesterday, Congressman Lee Zeldin was attacked.
A man apparently attempted to assassinate him, though he was only charged, I think, with like second-degree assault.
A man climbed up on stage as Lee Zeldin was giving a speech and pulled out a knife.
I believe he had the knife out already.
Zeldin grabbed his wrist.
Someone else came and grabbed him, subduing him.
And I suppose it is believed that it's being reported this guy tried to kill him.
The neck was aimed at Zeldin's neck.
Now, Lee Zeldin carried on with his speech afterward.
Bravo, good sir.
He's got security.
It's, you know, it wasn't like this guy ran up full speed and jumped on him or anything.
The guy climbs up on stage, walks over with the knife, and then goes for the neck and he grabs him.
Whole thing is surreal.
Here's the crazy part.
The breaking news is that this man has been released on his own recognizance The New York Post reporting, Lee Zeldin's alleged attacker quickly released from jail, just as Rep predicted.
New York Post!
You don't need to say allegedly.
He is on camera attacking this man with multiple witnesses watching it happen.
But, okay, fine.
I get it.
Now, many people are saying it was a deranged leftist.
It was a le- No, it wasn't.
Hold on there a minute.
Hold on there a minute.
Not in the way many people would actually believe.
I believe the man who attacked him likely is, based on a cursory, simple investigation.
I believe it is all, in all likelihood, the man who attacked Lee Zeldin is a Democrat.
I could be wrong.
I could be wrong.
But I did some digging, and cursory evidence indicates Black Lives Matter kind of support, kind of persuasion.
Which is to say, I don't know for sure.
I don't.
A lot of, you know, whenever stuff like this happens, information gets scrubbed, and I've only done a bit of a cursory search.
Looking into his history, I believe there is very likely left sentiment, but not leftist, not socialist, more like Democrat radicalization.
You know, last night we had the January 6th Committee.
They are misconstruing, they are falsely framing as much as they can, and this is the kind of thing that happens.
I wrote an op-ed.
I apologize for bringing it up so often, but I want to make this point before we get into the news.
I wrote an op-ed for Newsweek after the January 6th committee falsely included me in a video montage of people calling for a red wedding or kicking the door in because I read the news quoting Donald Trump.
And I wrote in Newsweek, this is what they do.
They misrepresent for the goal of escalation, to create chaos and violence.
This is what we're seeing.
This man who attacked Zeldin, he's a 43-year-old Iraq War veteran.
He said, you're done, when he pulled the knife out and went for his neck.
Now, why would he do that?
Is he a socialist, like for Bernie?
I don't think so.
I think he's like a normal dude.
I think, you know, looking at him, his family, and digging into some cursory information, normal, run-of-the-mill, fairly average, doesn't seem to be hyper-political, at least as far as I can tell.
I have not done a deep search.
I just saw some images, some photos, and I believe he was likely radicalized by the rhetoric from the Democrats.
Now, here's what the Democrats are doing.
They have been funding Trump-supporting candidates with extreme rhetoric.
They've been coming out.
They've been spending millions of dollars to help Trump candidates win.
And then they go out on the January 6th committee and say, it's an existential threat to our country.
And then you will get drunkard, radicalized Democrats trying to kill members of Congress.
It literally happened.
It actually just happened.
Let me read the story and then we'll talk about how the Democrats release these people.
I can't.
It's insane.
And I got a breakdown of who this guy is.
TimCast.com reports.
A man charged to the stage and attempted to stab Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin as he spoke about bail reform at a campaign event.
Zeldin is currently serving as a U.S.
Congressman for the state of New York.
He was speaking at the VFW on Macedon Center Road in Parrington when the incident took place.
Witnesses told Rochester First the attacker wrestled with Zeldin a bit and pulled a blade out.
AmVet's director, Joe Cianelli, reportedly subdued the attacker.
Zeldin, apparently unharmed, returned to the stage to finish his speech.
I think he was on the stage the whole time, I'm not sure.
But, uh, wow.
In recent days, Zeldin has sparred with Governor Kathy Hochul.
Now look, I'm actually in favor of bail reform.
nominee over crime in the state, reproductive care, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin
Bragg.
In a digital ad, Zeldin said Hochul refuses to admit that cashless bail is driving up
crime and putting New York families in danger.
Now look, I'm actually in favor of bail reform.
I do not believe the state has a right to hold someone on an accusation.
There's supposed to be a probable cause hearing.
The state's not doing it properly.
What's happening is, you get arrested, you go before a judge, it's supposed to be quick, and your defense or you say, I should be released, you have no evidence, or until proven guilty, right?
They shouldn't be able to just go like, now you gotta give me money.
Well, what if you're broke?
The state is supposed to say, here's the evidence proving, like, probable cause of a potential violent threat.
They're not doing it anymore.
The courts can't handle the volume.
There's not enough courts for as many people as there are, so they just say, don't know, don't care, lock them up.
The state should not be allowed to imprison you without due process.
It is not due process to be stopped by a cop and locked in a box.
Due process is getting to state your case to the judge.
I'm not saying a full trial.
I'm saying for a bail and bond.
Now, this guy tried to kill a man on camera.
I watched it.
You can lock him up!
Pending trial.
That's fine.
They let him go.
That is not what's supposed to be happening.
But it's what they're doing.
Kathy Hochul says that we should be cutting out Alvin Bragg some slack, that he just got here and he's doing his job.
I say to Kathy Hochul that she should fire Alvin Bragg today.
Hochul in turn tweeted that Zelda had voted against keeping birth control legal.
What does that have to do with anything?
Zelda has sought to gain momentum in recent days by assailing HOKL on a range of issues including rising crime, inflation, state business given to a campaign contributor, and her use of state aircraft at taxpayer expense.
Hours before his attempted stabbing, Zelda urged a supporter on Twitter to fire HOKL and save New York.
Well, here's the latest report.
You ready for this?
The man who allegedly tried to stab Republican candidate for New York Governor Lee Zeldin with a bladed weapon during campaign stop was released from jail within hours of his arrest on a felony charge, just as Zeldin had predicted.
Get out of New York.
I mean, look, stay in New York and vote for Zeldin.
And maybe you can save your state.
But this is insane.
In a tweet after the violent incident in Monroe County, Zeldin, who was running as a tough-on-crime candidate against incumbent Democratic Kathy Hochul, said he expected his alleged assailant to be back on the streets in no time.
His words, as he tried to stab me a few hours ago, were, you're done.
But several attendees, including Espinito for NY, quickly jumped into action and tackled the guy.
The attacker will likely be instantly released under New York's laws.
That is what happened.
Remarkable.
Critics on Twitter reacted with a mix of incredulity and dismay at the news of the suspect's swift release.
This guy tried to stab a man running for governor and is back on the streets?
Desi Queller, a GOP congressional candidate from Queens, tweeted, New York has truly become a sick place run by criminals.
Ben Dominich, editor-at-large in The Spectator, wrote, Attempt to stab a GOP congressman on stage?
Get released on your own recognizance.
New York, everybody.
I'd like to say I don't care about cashless bail in this context.
It's remand.
You are filmed on camera trying to stab a man running for governor?
You are remanded to custody.
I think the judge should say, you just tried to kill someone!
If we release you, you might try to finish the job!
Lock him up until the trial, where you will likely be convicted because we all watched you do it.
There shouldn't even be a $500,000, $600,000 bond.
Zeldin, a sitting congressman from Long Island, was delivering a stump speech about bail reform in Parrington when he was confronted.
So here we have this from Heavy.
Five fast facts you need to know.
Good job, Heavy.
Jessica McBride pulling together these quick details as soon as possible.
Now, as I mentioned, I did some cursory investigation, and I believe the family likely is, like, default Democrat.
That's only what I've seen so far.
I'm not entirely sure.
Just some cursory images from social media make it seem like default Democrat-like.
They're not posting like crazy.
I did not see anything where it was like 500 posts screaming Black Lives Matter or F Trump or anything like that.
Mostly normie stuff.
Sports, you know, inspirational quotes, and the occasional Black Lives Matter, you know, support, right?
So what I think is, this guy likely is watching January 6th stuff, likely is listening to mainstream media, and he's just getting fired up.
He's probably angry, he's probably got mental health issues, and then he sees the Republican and he's just like, these people, the media keeps telling me they're destroying the country!
And then he just, you're done!
He's probably just sitting there like, no, enough!
Nancy Pelosi said so!
He's a military veteran accused of trying to stab a Republican candidate.
It's amazing you can see him do it on video.
He's an Iraq war vet and the man who subdued him wants to help him.
Yeah.
They got photos of this guy.
I don't know what this video is supposed to be on.
I don't know if it's related.
So there's a video of it.
I can't play it for obvious reasons.
under the influence of alcohol.
Authorities have not confirmed the information.
I don't know what this video is supposed to be on. I don't know if it's related.
He was ipted on the scene. The site reports AmVets National Director Joe Ciannilli stopped him.
So there's a video of it.
I can't play it for obvious reasons. It's YouTube.
When he served in Iraq, I got down When he said he served in Iraq,
I got down on my hands and knees and said, you know, we're going to get through whatever you've done
here tonight.
You're going to get better and focus on that.
You can contact me after this thing is done.
I was told not to engage with him right now.
I think it's very important.
We obviously have a mental health crisis nationwide, not just with our veterans, but we especially have it with our veterans.
He was at Fort Bragg in 2008 and wrote on LinkedIn, hire me.
In 2008, Fort Bragg posted a photo of Jacobonus.
The caption read, 432nd Blood Supply Detachment, yadda yadda.
He has an Instagram page, but it only has a single photo on it.
On his LinkedIn page, he wrote, hire me, actively seeking employment.
The page also, he received a bachelor's degree from RIT, yadda yadda, I don't care about this.
He yelled, you're done, Lee.
Zeldin was speaking about bail reform and now I want to show you this.
This is an important context here from Heavy.
Zach Fink says very unusual advisory from Kathy Hochul just now.
Basically making fun of Lee Zeldin by mocking his campaign schedule this week and replacing his events with Democratic talking points about Trump.
Weird.
Usually the targeted attacks come from New York Dems.
So we have this.
Let me pull up what... She's getting roasted over this for posting this.
And it's a media advisory from Kathy Hochul saying, Big Lie Lee kicks off statewide MAGA Republican bus tour.
Just crazy.
When this happens, she puts out these statements.
And then a guy gets on stage and says, you're done.
Yeah.
This is what we are seeing.
New York is releasing these people.
Crime is skyrocketing.
And the Democrats just keep doubling down.
I don't get it.
I really, really don't get it.
Is it an attempt to destabilize and destroy this country?
Is that what they're doing?
Now, look.
You gotta vote these people out.
I think Hochul's gonna win because look at someone like this guy who tried to stab Lee Zeldin.
They're mindless.
They're NPCs.
They are mindless.
I'd like to point out, Michael Malice says, How could you be blackpilled when you can see how stupid these people are?
And I'm like, zombies are also stupid, but a horde of them is dangerous.
This is a horde of zombies.
Now, the zombies think you're the zombie, but here you are listening to disaffected, liberal, center libertarian Tim Pool, and you'll likely listen to left-wing channels and right-wing channels as well.
You know what I find fascinating?
Is that people often tell me they listen to, like, Destiny, Jimmy Dore, me, and maybe Ben Shapiro, or, you know, Steven Crowder.
It's fascinating.
They think.
They think there is everybody just watching Steven Crowder.
Every single one.
I remember I went on Crowder, we did like a Skype thing, and he's like, some of you love him, some of you hate him, and I thought that was funny because it's like, you know, the far right, the conservative right, the center right, it is not the overwhelming majority of people who watch channels like mine, but the left thinks it is.
No, it's like politically homeless and moderates and center right and center left.
We get a ton of people, like, a quarter of the people who watch, we did a poll a while ago, were like, liberal.
That's how I describe myself.
Mostly people say moderate.
And then, you know, the next larger was like general Trump supporter.
And Trump supporters didn't consider themselves conservative.
I feel like what we have here, for those that are watching, is moderate individuals who just want to know what's really going on.
And you have a I don't know what you call it.
NPC left.
Cult.
People like this.
This guy's not a leftist.
This guy's probably not woke.
He's just an NPC.
He's a really dumb guy.
Easily susceptible to radicalization from what Democrats are doing.
And this is what Democrats intended to do.
To come out and say things like, you know, big lie and things like that about Zeldin.
Say that they're the biggest threat to American democracy.
And you will get a normie get radicalized.
On this side or whatever this side is.
It's certainly not the right or whatever.
Like in terms of conservatism.
The attitude is, please pay attention and do the research for yourself and figure out who is right and who is wrong.
But this is what we get.
An escalation of violence.
Zeldin's closing events were all discussed as enduring loyalty to Trump, hard-fought efforts against Trump's impeachment, his vote against certifying the election, blah blah blah.
This is what they keep doing.
They're doing this weird thing where they're propping up Propping up the right in weird ways.
Promoting their opinions.
And then saying it's the apocalypse.
And now someone just tried to kill the guy running for governor.
Let me just stress that.
Because it looks like people are unwilling to say it.
This dude pulled out a knife and went up and around towards the neck of Lee Zeldin.
Towards the neck.
That is a kill shot.
And they charged him with second degree assault, I think it was.
Was that it?
Felony, second degree assault or something.
And I'm just like, is that it?
Is that what they said?
Did they mention this?
Second degree attempted assault.
Not even assault.
Second degree attempted assault.
I'm like, maybe you should charge him with attempted murder.
He goes for the neck?
Remarkable.
You know what we're seeing?
Take a look at this wealthy Minneapolis neighborhood is crowdfunding to pay for extra police patrols just two years after the woke City Council pledged to end policing as we know it by disbanding department and defunding it by a million dollars.
Is this... Is this really where we're at?
Residents in the Lowry Hill neighborhood Man.
They raised $210,000 for extra police patrols.
Minneapolis is using the funds to pay cops $107 an hour to watch the community.
The crowdfunding effort comes as Minneapolis reported an 18.5% rise in crime.
Officials claim the initiative will help police target crime trends and hotspots like... Defund the police!
There it is, baby!
This is what you get.
This is what you get with defund the police.
This is what you get with radicalizing democratic behaviors.
You've got, here take a look at this story.
Knott's Berry Farm stepping up security after multiple fights forced park to close early.
It's not just about, look at this, massive brawl breaks out among families at Disney World, hospitalizing one.
The temperature is rising, man.
Have you noticed?
The fights, the chaos?
You see the video of that woman?
Who's trashing the burger place?
What's going on in this country?
People are starting to lose their minds, and it's not just this assassination attempt.
It is people fighting at theme parks.
So I'll tell you what I think.
The stressors.
People need to understand it's probably worse than we even realize.
Many of you sitting at home, things are bad.
I saw a viral video of a woman screaming about how it was a hundred bucks to fill up her gas tank and she blames the Republicans for it and I'm like, lady!
Look at who's running the country right now!
It's not the Republicans!
That's what they do when you're radicalized.
You can look to the government who's literally in charge, Democrats, and then say, but it's going to be the Republicans' fault.
Why?
The Democrats are putting through whatever they want.
Save the filibuster, mind you.
Radicalization.
People are experiencing pain and suffering.
They're going to start focusing their anger in whatever direction they can.
If you're a Democrat, they're focusing it in the direction of Lee Zeldin and Republicans.
And if you're a regular person, people just start beating each other in the streets, smashing up stores.
It's a breakdown.
Now you've got bail reform, cashless bail, people are being released and the crime is just getting worse.
The more crime escalates, the more intense the stressors become on regular people, escalating crime.
We're really close to vigilantism.
I'm not even kidding.
We're getting close to the point where people are just going to go patrol around and detain and arrest people because they're already trying to crowdfund for more police.
How much longer can regular people stand this?
So the stressors of being locked in your house, of having no food, of having insane gas, makes people go nuts.
Crime skyrockets for a variety of reasons.
People are losing their minds and they can't afford to eat.
They're losing their minds, they're fighting people in the streets, they're smashing up restaurants, making other people start to get stressed out and lose their minds.
It is a cascade effect and it is going to engulf this country more than you realize.
We've talked about civil war here at TimCast.com ad nauseam.
We just had some crazed guy try to assassinate a Republican governor.
We just had a crazed guy try to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh, and they scream, January 6th, January 6th!
Y'all are nuts.
It was only a couple months ago, or what, like a month or two ago?
Someone tried to kill Brett Kavanaugh, now someone...
Is someone going up to Democrats and doing this?
No, but January 6th the committee is going to come out and they're going to be like, these Margaret Republicans are the greatest threat to our democracy!
It's mind-numbing.
The Democrats are false flagging you.
They're funding Trump supporters while claiming Trump supporters are the threat.
They are releasing people from jails, this guy who tried to kill a guy, and then what?
Are they even going to come and explain to you why the crime is through the roof?
They're going to blame all the problems on Republicans even though they're the ones running government.
I hope y'all are paying attention.
I hope y'all realize what's happening.
I'll leave it there.

James Lindsay was suspended on Twitter for calling someone a groomer.
Of course, many of you know the word groomer, what it means.
It refers to someone who is trying to introduce certain things to children by gently coaxing them towards it.
Groomer, of course, refers to adult activities.
It's when an adult goes to a child and says, hey, try this one thing, it's totally fine and normal, and the kid says okay, and then one step at a time.
Eventually, they get that kid to do disgusting things.
Now, grooming does not mean you go to a child and you overtly and directly abuse them.
It means you introduce an element of the abuse in the lightest way possible that would be deemed acceptable so that you can step one, here's the idea.
Step two, why don't you try it?
Step three, isn't that fun?
Step four, okay, now do the most egregious thing.
And we've seen it.
Drag Queen Story Hour is quite literally grooming.
It is.
There's a meme.
It said, You don't need to ask yourself whether it's okay that an individual who's in drag is reading to children.
You have to ask why an individual in drag wants to be in drag reading for children.
The idea is to introduce the concept of drag to a child in a way that parents would say is fine.
It's just reading a story.
It's no big deal.
But drag is inherently a sexualized performance.
They rip their clothes off in exchange for money.
I have to put it this way.
Imagine we had Go-Go Dancer Story Hour.
Now, the women are scantily clad and exposed, but they're just reading books, right?
No.
You do not want to groom kids in that way.
Well, here we are.
I'm gonna come out and say it.
The Daily Dot has said Twitter says it will ban using the word groomer as an anti-LGBTQ slur, but its enforcement is lacking.
Claire Goforth, who wrote this article, I believe is a pedophile.
My personal opinion.
And I will also go on to say that I believe the LGBTQ community is now dominated by overt pedophiles.
I've not believed that previously.
There's a group called Gays Against Groomers.
I think they are not pedophiles or groomers.
In fact, I am friends with many of them, and I know they aren't.
The issue is, you know, I grew up with LGBTQ activists.
In fact, I even fundraised on behalf of some of the largest LGBT rights organizations in the country.
I'll leave them unnamed.
Some people probably already know who I did campaigning for, fundraising for.
But now things are different.
It used to be that when the right came out and said, if you legalize gay marriage, they're going to come for your kids and say, no, we don't want to go anywhere near your kids.
We just want to be left alone.
That's great.
Marjorie Taylor Greene last night on Timcast IRL.
If you haven't seen it, go check it out.
She said, I don't care what people do in the privacy of their own homes.
That's between them and God.
I'm out of it, right?
And I agree.
Hey man, do your thing!
You know, there's an element of classical and traditional liberalism in, do your thing.
But now what's happened is, they're directly going after children.
Telling them about overtly sexualized concepts, that literally is grooming, and they're lying about it.
Now, here's why I say pedophiles have taken over.
They are actively trying to stop people from calling out pedophiles, using LGBTQ people as a shield.
Well, that's it.
When someone goes up to a child in a thong and asks the child to put money in that thong, that person is grooming the child, introducing overtly sexualized concept to the child.
Me personally, I'd say that's a groomer.
Now, if you call them that, what they're saying is, you're just insulting them for being gay!
And they're banning people.
They banned James Lindsay.
There was a story about how Reddit was going to be enforcing some kind of rule like that.
The Daily Dot reports that all the big tech platforms will now stop you from calling out groomers.
That is to say, quite literally, if you see someone Someone abusing a child and trying to groom them and you call it out They'll say you're only saying that because you're because they're gay and then they ban you Here's the way I described it on Timcast IRL We're all at a playground and there's a guy looking at the children walking up to him and licking his lips and going
And we go, hey, hey, get that groomer out of there.
Get that groomer out of there.
And then all of a sudden, a bunch of LGBTQ people walk over and say, hey, don't make fun of us.
And we're like, what?
I wasn't talking about you guys.
I'm talking about that guy right there.
You're saying all gay people.
Or another way to view it is when I call out the guy for being a groomer, he walks over to the gay crowd, the LGBTQ crowd, and says, that guy's making fun of us, calling us groomers.
And they all get mad, and I'm like, no, I'm not talking about you.
I'm talking about him.
Wait a minute.
How come y'all are getting mad when I say that?
And that's why I think they've been taken over.
Because when you look at, like, Ariel Scarcella, or Brandon Strock, or, you know, Milo Yiannopoulos, there are many prominent gay people who are not for this and totally opposed to it.
And so my question is, when I point to a groomer, and I say, that guy's grooming!
And then a bunch of LGBTQ people go, he's just insulting LGBTQ people!
I go, no, I'm talking about the pe- Wait.
Why are you getting mad when I insult pedos?
And there it is.
They have no reason to be mad.
Claire Goforth coming out to literally defend this?
Probably because she's a pedophile.
At least in my opinion.
Now, I'm not saying I have any evidence.
I don't know anything about this lady.
But I'm just confused as to why anyone would come out and be in defense of pedophiles.
Hands down.
Why, Claire?
Why are you actively defending pedos?
Let us insult them.
Let us call them out.
It's illegal what they do when they attack children.
Why are you defending this?
Actively fighting against those who are calling it out.
These people are pedophiles.
It's the only explanation, or they're pedo-adjacent, that they want pedophiles to be in the LGBTQ community.
I think child abuse is wrong.
Let's read the story.

I gotta be honest.
The response we've gotten has been tremendous.

And I realized something.
I was like, I'm just gonna come out and say this.
It's an audio-visual, it's a listening experience with images, essays, creepy storytelling.
And the response we've gotten has been overwhelmingly female.
No joke.
And I'm like, I wonder why that is.
Like, people who watch Timcast are like 80% dudes.
But Tales From the Inverted World leans more heavily female, and I'm like, I wonder why.
And, you know, I was talking to my girlfriend, and she was like, we love this stuff.
She's like, me and my mom, this is the stuff we listen to.
And I was like, oh wow.

Here's a story from the Daily Dot.
Twitter says it bans using groomer as an anti-LGBTQ slur.
But its enforcement is lacking.
Updated.
They say Twitter has said to the Daily Dot that it bans calling people groomers, based on their gender identity.
But in practice, it often doesn't enforce this rule.
On Wednesday, the Daily Dot reported that a subreddit post inadvertently intensified pressure on Twitter to ban calling LGBTQ people groomers.
Okay, let me stop.
You're a groomer if you're a groomer.
Groomers can be straight.
Groomers can be gay.
What they're saying right now is that if a gay person happens to be a groomer, you're banned.
You cannot call them out.
And that's why I'm saying pedos have long tried to infiltrate the LGBTQ community, and they have now successfully done it.
That's it.
They've successfully done it.
I'm going to say.
The slur has roots in the term's original meaning, which refers to how sexual predators coerce and manipulate children in order to abuse them.
After the article published, Twitter provided a statement claiming that calling transgender or non-binary people groomers violates its policies against hate speech.
So you literally can't call someone who might be grooming a child a groomer if they happen to be transgender?
Insane.
Quote, we are committed to combating abuse motivated by hatred, prejudice, and intolerance.
You know what, man?
I will say it now, and a lot of people have pointed this out.
Five more years or less, you will see LGBTQP, lesbian, what is it?
A lesbian, gay, trans, it's LGTB?
It's LGBT, I thought.
Lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer, pedophile.
They've tried to do it before, they are succeeding at doing it now.
There was a famous TED Talk where a woman said that it was just an orientation or something they can't control, and it's like, dude, don't know, don't care, it's illegal, don't normalize it, don't defend it.
If there is someone who has dark predilections, they can keep it to themselves, not act on it, mind their own business, because nobody wants to know, and if you want to come out and talk about it publicly, you're grooming these kids when you do this with children.
That's it right there.
They say, earlier this week, the Daily Dot reported a tweet calling a transgender woman a groomer to see if it violated Twitter's policies against abusive behavior.
The Daily Dot is an activist organization.
Let me just say right there, activist organization.
They got mad at James Lindsay because James Lindsay called out someone for grooming kids.
James Lindsay got suspended.
for saying someone was a groomer because Claire Goforth.
I want to say this again.
Claire Goforth, in my opinion, must only be a pedophile outraged that someone would dare insult another pedophile.
Claire Goforth, I believe, is a pedophile.
I'm saying that because I want to make that point clear.
I don't see a reason why you would be overtly defending people who are grooming children.
I want you to come out and defend it, and I want Claire to come out and deny it.
Claire, Are you a groomer?
Do you groom kids?
Come out and tell me why you are not a groomer when you actively defend them.
Are you groomer adjacent?
Do you want groomers to be able to groom children?
Please, I'd like to hear it.
Now I will point out, far be it for me to ignore the obvious irony, anti-fascists, they say, if you don't, if you're opposed to Antifa, then you're a fascist.
It's the only explanation.
No.
When you go and smash windows and light things on fire, I oppose you.
I think fascism sucks.
Terrible ideology.
Communism too, for that matter.
And I think pedos are also bad.
So these people that want to come out and defend groomers, just tell me why.
Tell me why.
No, no, no, hold on.
I get it if there's someone who just randomly calls a gay dude a groomer simply because they're gay.
That's not what we're seeing, though.
James Lindsay isn't showing pictures of a random gay man and saying he's a groomer.
He's showing images of people grooming children.
And you're defending it, Claire, because I think you're a groomer.
Think you like kids a little too much, huh?
Cara Bayo told the Daily Dot on Thursday that transphobia and homophobia increased significantly on Twitter earlier this year, in part due to the steady drumbeats of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric from some large influential accounts.
You see what they're doing?
When you call out the groomers, they go, they're just attacking gay people!
And Claire and the Daily Dot come out in force and say, oh yeah, that's exactly it.
Ari Drennan, LGBTQ program director at Media Matters for America, agrees that Twitter doesn't enforce its policies prohibiting harassment and abuse of LGBTQ people.
Most LGBTQ people on Twitter have had the experience of reporting things and finding there is no action taken whatsoever.
Oh, shut up.
Same thing for me.
I've had people post my address and threaten me, and they don't take it down.
YouTube wouldn't take down some guy threatening me.
Twitter wouldn't take down some guy posting my address.
So spare me your, they won't take down the word.
So, they say James Lindsay takes credit for the exponential increase of LGBTQ people and their allies being called groomers.
He says...
Not only do I call them that, a lot and accurately.
I think I started the trend, Lindsay told the Daily Dot via Twitter direct message Thursday afternoon.
Lindsay insists he's not transphobic or homophobic.
He defends his use of the term groomer.
I use groomer to apply to cult grooming, thought reform, say into queer Marxist ideology and sexual predatory grooming, which is not identical but correlates.
Adding, I only call things what they are.
I don't play word games despite my obvious rhetorical savvy.
Yeah, um, no one's calling Ariel Scarcella A groomer?
But she likes ladies.
And she's a good friend of ours.
And she's not a groomer.
She calls out the groomers.
You see the difference here?
When you have someone like, I don't know, Brandon Strock, a gay man.
Or Ariel Scarcella, a lesbian woman.
And I don't know if Brandon's calling it out, but I certainly know he's not on the side of this.
But Ariel, for instance, has promoted gays against groomers.
So you have gay people who are outright saying, stay away from children, and then you have the Daily Dot being like, why?
Yeah, creepy.
Lindsay provided no evidence that any of the people RZDC has called groomers, which includes the Trevor Project, a suicide prevention organization, are groomers in either sense of the term as he defines it.
Yes, he has.
He's quite literally defined it.
He's quite literally said, they're talking to children, encouraging them to stay away from their parents, and teaching them about overtly sexual concepts.
That's literally what grooming is.
What they're trying to do Is they're trying to push the definition of groomer into, like, an adult who's literally engaging in the, like, the actions against the child, right?
Grooming is when you go to a kid and say, why don't you take a look at this book?
Let me tell you a story, actually.
Let me tell you a story about grooming.
I knew a guy.
He got offered money.
They said, hey, we're looking for someone to come and hang out, be, like, a model.
We need a model who's gonna be, like, hanging out in, like, a luxury apartment.
So they bring him up there, and they tell him it's 200 bucks, and they need him, like, taking shots, like, on the couch and things like that, and he's like, this is amazing.
200 bucks for an hour shoot?
It's a modeling gig.
That's all it is.
Who wouldn't do that?
While he's there, they say, kick off your shoes, sit up on the couch, relax.
Picture, picture, picture.
200 bucks, here you go.
Let us know if you want.
We're always looking for more.
Let us know if you want to, you know, come.
Now, right there, you say, well, all he did was take pictures on the couch, right?
Is that grooming?
That is phase one of grooming.
Now, you're going to say to me, what?
They didn't do anything.
Let me explain.
It was the people and their intention which made it grooming.
The individuals taking the photos They were, what do you call it, male gigolos, I guess?
Is that the word?
Pimps for dudes?
Here's what happens next.
They invite him back.
He says, what's the big deal?
I was just taking my shoes off.
They say, well take off your socks, you know, relax.
He does that a couple times.
He makes money.
Sometime later they say, would you, would you, you want to hang out in like shorts and a t-shirt?
Put these on.
Now he's wearing shorts and a tee.
The next time they say, where'd this day go?
You know, sleeveless tank top kind of thing.
The next time they say, you're coming in from swimming, take off the shirt.
Now he's just in shorts.
You see where it's going.
You see where it's going.
But it started with them saying, just kick off your shoes and relax a little bit.
That was grooming.
The people who were doing it were predators.
They were introducing this guy to an innocent... I'm not kidding about the story, by the way.
Someone I know.
In the end, the dude became a male prostitute.
This is no way a joke.
Welcome to the South Side of Chicago.
Eventually, they said, you know, look, we're not interested in the jeans and t-shirt stuff anymore because we already did that.
If you want to make money, you've got to take the shorts off.
And he was like, man, take the shorts off?
And they were like, dude, you're going to be in a bathing suit.
Guys wear Speedos all the time, okay?
That's all it really is.
We've already got the other photos.
If you don't want the money, fine.
He's like, no, no, I do want the money.
So it's just, it's just in your, you're in your, you're in your, your trunks, man.
You're in your boxers.
And he does it.
They do that a couple times and they say, sorry, you know, look, we need more.
We need you with no clothes on if we're going to keep paying you.
Look, all you're doing is taking your boxes off.
Everyone can already see your body and your legs.
What's the big deal?
Then the next thing they were like, we want someone else in there with you.
And they were like, look, you're already in here doing it.
And then they sit someone down across the other side of the room.
One by one, slowly, over the course of a couple of months, they groomed this dude.
And in the end, he was hooking up with guys.
And he was straight.
I mean, so he claimed.
But they groomed him.
They said, you want the money?
You want the money?
They made him dependent.
This was his job.
Take the photos, man.
Couple hundred bucks.
He needed the money to pay his rent.
He wasn't working anywhere else.
Now they had good money.
After a couple months, we're gonna take that money away unless you up it one more time.
Up it one more time.
That's grooming.
What they're doing with kids is they're coming in drag queens with books.
What's the big deal?
You say it's to drag queen.
What do drag queens do?
Strip on stage for money.
Have kids stick money, have people stick money in their underwear.
So when it starts, you ask the question, is it a real photo shoot?
Is it a real story time?
Or is there an intention behind it?
And what we're seeing now is grooming.
And that's the point of grooming.
Groomers don't want people to know they're grooming.
Groomers want to sneak in, in the shadows, making it seem like they're doing something innocent.
We're just doing a photo shoot.
How many times have you heard those stories about the photoshoot?
These women are told, you want to be a model?
Fly out.
And then in two months, it's like the women were being raped and trafficked.
That's what grooming is.
Photoshoots are normal.
No one can object to that.
Storytime is normal.
And then you see who's doing it.
People who do sexualized performances, but it's just storytime.
Now, the Daily Dot is actively trying to get James Lindsay banned.
Claire Goforth of the Daily Dot is trying to silence anyone who would call out pedophiles.
Why?
I'll give you the answer.
What are your thoughts in the comments?
Why would someone actively try and protect a pedo?
Calling out groomers.
who are actively doing this.
I can think of one reason.
They're a pedophile themselves.
They're not defending other people, they're defending themselves.
They've infiltrated the LGBTQ community.
You look at Gays Against Groomers, an organization calling this out, clearly gay people are not pedophiles.
Clearly the LGBTQ community is not comprised of pedophiles.
But, it is being taken over by them.
It is being manipulated by them.
And as I put it early on, we can see out in the playground, there's a pedo staring at kids and talking to them, and we say, get away from those kids, you groomer.
And the groomer walked over to the group of people with pride flags and said, he's calling all of us pedos.
And they're going, hey, don't call us pedos.
And I'm like, no, I'm calling him a pedo.
Like, well, don't call him one either.
And I'm like, wait, why are you defending this guy?
Meanwhile, the people who don't like the groomers in that group with pride flags stepped out and said, we oppose the grooming.
We're with you.
This is what's happening these days.
You know, the funny thing is, we've known that PETA's have been trying to infiltrate for a long time.
With LGBTP, with MAPS, Minor Attracted Persons, they have been trying over and over again to infiltrate.
So we know this was their goal and now they're doing it.
It's like that one individual who claimed to be trans, then went into a girl's bathroom and took pictures of little girls.
You know, those people are, that's not a, like, the LGBTQ community, the idea behind it is, like, an adult woman likes women.
An adult man likes men, or either could like both.
But they're adults, they're mature, and in the privacy of their own homes, they want to live their lives.
Or, you know, they want to be a part of the community and not be attacked for it.
Totally respect all of that.
But what we're talking about right now with groomers is people going after children.
Why?
Because they're groomers.
It's not complicated.
It's not complicated at all.
This is what they're doing now.
If you go on Twitter and you call them out like James Lindsay did, they're gonna suspend you.
Dark days indeed.
I'll leave it there.
Next segment is coming up at YouTube.com slash Timcast.
