Today is November 3rd, 2022, and our first story of Democrats are panicking.
Joe Biden is campaigning in safe blue areas because maybe the polls are wrong and the GOP red wave that's coming, it could be substantially worse than Democrats realize.
In our next story, Joe Biden gave a speech warning that if Republicans win, it could be the end of democracy.
Oh, they're really panicking.
And in our last story, AOC thinks that Elon Musk hacked her Twitter account, shutting down her notifications, because she's a narcissist.
And no, Elon didn't do this.
If you like the show, give us a good review and leave us five stars.
Now, let's get into that first story.
The phrase Red Wave, it does not cut it.
Perhaps red tsunami.
I don't know.
Maybe red great flood.
Either way, however you describe it, it sounds kind of gross, but that's what people are saying.
Democrats are beyond panic mode.
Joe Biden is campaigning in safe blue areas.
Why?
Why send a Democrat to an area that you expect to win?
Unless, of course, you don't expect to win.
The Democrats believe it.
They know it.
Now, I'm not going to sit here and tell you it's guaranteed.
You need to be going out and voting.
We are seeing massive turnout in some areas in the early vote, and that says good things for Democrats are coming their way, at least as it pertains to the polls.
Now if you were to sit back and just look at the polls, it's apocalyptic for Democrats.
So what I mean to say is, as bad as it sounds and bad as it seems, there is some data that is giving Democrats hope.
And if you think, Republicans, that you've got this one in the bag, you're going to lose.
You need to get your friends and your family members and go and vote.
Now more than ever.
But when we take a look at RealClearPolitics' battle for the House, I'm not going to waste words.
I want to get right into it and just show you right here.
Of the Democratic seats that are up for re-election, 52 of them are at risk for Democrats.
Of the Republican seats that are up, only 28 are at risk.
That's fascinating.
Now, of course, the Democratic seats have their safe blue.
They're not showing it.
Republicans have their safe red.
But there's Leans, GOP, 24 seats of Republican seats and four toss-ups.
Among the Democratic seats, 28 are toss-ups and 24, 24 Democrat-held seats are leaning Republican.
Here's what I think.
Why is Joe Biden heading out to New Mexico, to safe blue territory?
Because the polls are shifting and it's getting worse.
And I'll tell you this, I'm willing to bet in their own internal polling, they know they're going to lose.
And it's going to be worse than people realize.
Even Democrat pollsters are saying go.
It could be 255 Republican seats in the House.
It could be 54 Senate seats.
So, of course, What are Democrats doing?
They're telling us we're in a civil war, that it's white men to blame, and this is the end of democracy.
I kid you not!
Even Bill Maher, of all people, I love this one, coming out and saying, what happened with Nancy Pelosi is the Cold Civil War, and it's getting worse, and we're going to see more of it.
Funny.
I remember a couple years ago, when, uh, two years ago, when Bill Maher said, there can't be another civil war.
The Mason-Dixon line would run through our city streets, through our bedrooms.
Yeah, okay, Bill.
And you know what he does?
He says, it's the right there to blame.
This is the lie.
The big lie.
Because it was the 529 insurrection where they broke down the barricades in front of the White House, forced the president into a bunker, set fire to a guard post, and set fire to St.
John's Church.
I'm not going to pretend that one side has a monopoly on escalation or conflict or anything like that.
Certainly there are people on the right who are saying we've had enough and we won't stand for what the Democrats are pushing.
But here's the truth.
The Democrats, their policy positions are extremely unpopular.
Bail reform has led to rampant crime.
People are pissed off.
Shutting down Keystone and fracking?
It's made gas go through the roof.
And then going and begging the Saudis for oil?
It's pathetic.
Meanwhile, Democrats are coming out and campaigning on January 6th?
Civil war?
Yo, people aren't thinking about this.
I know we politicos may talk about this.
I may talk about it.
Regular people are simply saying, excuse me, sir, why is my gas so expensive?
So Joe Biden, he's heading out to safe blue seats.
I find that absolutely fascinating.
It is a sign that the worst is yet to come for Democrats.
And let me tell you, out in Florida, it's looking like Miami-Dade is going Republican.
Now, this is beyond apocalyptic for Democrats.
An urban center turning Republican is unthinkable.
But hey man, I saw what happened in the UK.
I'm not entirely convinced if Republicans win, anything good will happen.
So let's talk about the news.
But before we get started, special announcement today.

Here's the first story from the Daily Mail.
Biden campaigns in more safe blue seats.
President heads to New Mexico to stump for Democratic governor while Republicans gain momentum in crucial races, including Pennsylvania.
In fact, in New Hampshire, they are now projecting Bolduc will win over at RealClearPolitics.
A bold claim, but y'all better get out and vote.
We're also hearing that New Hampshire's 1st District is now leaning Republican.
We'll go through all that stuff, but the Democrats seem to be abandoning many of these areas where it's a toss-up, and they're trying to protect what little they have.
They're going to areas that are already Democrat.
Incredible.
They say.
President Joe Biden flew west on Thursday to try and shore up Democratic candidates in states he won two years ago as Republicans gain momentum in battleground races like Pennsylvania.
The president will be in New Mexico to campaign for Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, who has pulled ahead of her GOP opponent after polls last week showed her on shaky ground.
He then heads to California to campaign for Rep.
Mike Levin in San Diego.
Oh, you'll love to see it.
stop in Chicago with a focus on boosting suburban Chicago congressional incumbents.
Reps Sean Kaysen, Lauren Underwood and Bill Foster, who are in races that may be tightening.
Oh, you'll love to see it. Biden is making a last ditch effort to rally Democrats as election
forecasters predict Republicans will win control of the House in next Tuesday's election. And the
battle to control the Senate is tightening. But most Democratic candidates have held the
president at arm's length amid worries his low approval ratings and voter anger over his
stewardship of the economy could bounce back on them.
Man, that's brutal.
The White House insists the President is traveling around the country, and Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Thursday argued his message reaches beyond where he's speaking.
When the President speaks, It is covered widely and broadly, she told reporters. In
Pennsylvania, a crucial state Republican nominee, Dr. Mehmet Oz, has for the first time
surpassed John Fetterman in polling.
The two point gap 48 to 46 shows steady improvement for Oz, whose support from
likely Pennsylvanian voters has increased by five points since September. Fetterman's injured, man.
He can't talk. What are you going to do? Biden will be in Philadelphia on Saturday,
along with Barack Obama to campaign for Fetterman.
But the president won't be appearing in other states with close contests, including Nevada and Georgia.
Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto is in a neck-and-neck race fighting for her political life.
Obama came to the state on Tuesday to try and rally Democrats her way.
The Georgia Senate race is also a nail-biter.
But neither incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock nor Republican nominee Herschel Walker are polling above 50%.
State law mandates that candidates must receive a majority of the vote in order to win an election.
If no one does so, the top two finishers advance to a runoff.
With the Senate currently sitting at 50-50, and Vice President Kamala Harris providing the tie-breaking vote, any race could decide which party is in the majority next year.
In Georgia.
Maybe this is why they're projecting Republicans win.
It goes to a runoff.
Libertarians mostly bail out and just say Republican, I guess.
I mean, we'll see.
The Democrats overwhelmingly are the authoritarian party.
Don't get me wrong, Republicans are too, and Libertarians aren't the biggest fans of Republicans.
But most people who are Republican would be like, if I have to choose, if I had to, I guess I'll take an America First Republican over a Democrat.
The president's party typically faces significant losses during midterm elections since 1934.
Yada, yada, yada.
You get the point.
So here's where we are.
The post-millennial reacting to Biden's speech.
A presidential historian tells MSNBC that we could be six days away from losing our rule of law and that we are on the edge of a brutal authoritarian system where children will be arrested and conceivably killed.
What?

This speech seemed in some senses more specific about the developments that we're seeing everywhere from the Arizona poll stalkers to the Secretaries of State who refuse to say that they'll accept the elections.
What do you view as the key takeaway of the speech tonight?
unidentified
Well, he was absolutely candid, and he was absolutely right.
Because, as you know, Chris, six nights from now, we could all be discussing violence all over this country.
There are signs that that may happen, may God forbid.
Why?
That losers will be declared winners by fraudulent election officers, or Secretary of State candidates, or governors, or state legislatures.
We could be six days away from losing our rule of law.
I'm going to pause real quick and just ask this question.
What do you mean?
The polls are showing Republicans are going to win, so who would be the loser being declared the winner?
Are you actually saying that with all of the projections showing Republicans are going to win, it's Democrats who would do it?
Agreed.
Moving on.
unidentified
And losing a situation where we have elections that we all can rely on.
You know, those are the foundation stones of a democracy.
So if Biden had gone on the air tonight and said, biggest thing we have to worry about is, you know, marginal tax rate, or something like that, well, it is important.
But what significant presidents do, I think you'll agree, we both write history, you and I, 1860, Lincoln didn't say, biggest issue is land-grant colleges, although he felt strongly.
He said the country can't survive half-slave or half-free.
1940, Franklin Roosevelt didn't say, you know, the biggest thing I'm worried about is foreign policy.
I'm going to pause there real quick and just address some of this.
I can't speak to every quote ever made by Lincoln, but I can tell you he campaigned on not abolishing slavery, saying that he would seek to stop its expansion.
And I'm not a historian, but what I did read, I was reading some historical academic articles They said that Abraham Lincoln didn't want to expand, didn't want slavery to expand outside of the states it already existed in, and one of the principal concerns was that new industry could not compete with companies that had access to massive slave labor.
That is, if you want to develop new areas with cities and towns, you need to build an economy.
That means you need workers who make money and trade with each other.
But if plantations were able to go in, it would be bad economically.
I'm not going to get into all of that, but let's keep watching.
unidentified
Farm policy was important to him, but what he did say was, never before since Jamestown and Plymouth Rock has America been in such danger.
Joe Biden is saying the same thing tonight.
And a historian 50 years from now, if historians are allowed to write in this country, and if there are still free publishing houses and a free press, which I'm not certain of, but if that is true, a historian will say, what was at stake tonight and this week Was the fact whether we will be a democracy in the future, whether our children will be arrested and conceivably killed, we're on the edge of a brutal authoritarian system and it could be a week away.
And I think he's talking about Democrats, because any honest person who's assessed what's been going on in this country would not conclude that Donald Trump, who did not intervene in the 529 insurrection, who's going to conclude that he's the guy to send out the military and launch an authoritarian regime?
It's Democrats that have been weaponizing the DOJ, arresting pro-life activists, and ignoring the illegal actions of protesters outside of judges' homes.
So, you're wondering who's censoring and shutting down media and information?
It's not been the Republicans.
They don't have control of these institutions.
And now we're learning it's in fact under the Democrats, particularly in the past two years, we have seen the DHS begin colluding with big tech to suppress and manipulate information.
Don't get me wrong, Donald Trump's the one who signed CISA, creating that organization, so it could go either way.
And I gotta be honest, I don't think it would be Trump But, yo, who would turn down such power?
I'm not sure anybody would.
I look at Donald Trump.
What did he do?
He hired a bunch of swamp monsters.
He tried to get rid of some of them.
He didn't invoke the Insurrection Act to shut down the insurrection that occurred across this country from Black Lives Matter and Antifa.
So I'm not convinced Trump is the strongman they say he is.
I think the establishment Uniparty is, more than anything.
Here we go.
Who's gonna start it?
California professor and ex-CIA staffer claims that Christian white men are primed to start a civil war in America because they were once dominant and are in decline, and blames the right for the spike in violent extremism.
I think the lady's unhinged.
And the reason is, you take a look at the 529 insurrection, and what do you see?
The far left was terrorizing this country, and continues to do so.
You don't see people in major cities putting up American flags, crossing their fingers and hoping that violent MAGA extremists will spare their store.
It's when you go to Berkeley, or Oakland, in San Francisco, do you see the signs and windows saying, please spare our store?
It was during the 529 insurrection across this country that people spray painted boards over their windows that said, please, we're a small business, spare us.
They weren't scared of MAGA Republicans.
Here's the reality.
What this woman is saying, because she is a psychopath, I believe she is an evil individual who is seeking to subvert this country, is that while you have a growing, eclectic Republican Party, with more Latinos and more young black individuals voting Republican by the day, that it's actually the white men are going to cause the problem.
Maybe.
I mean, the reality is it's not Christian white men, but Antifa is mostly white males.
And they're smashing up windows and starting fights.
And then, as that goes on, and they ignore it and act like it's not happening, smiling and smirking and laughing in your face, if you dare to protect yourself, they accuse you of being the aggressor.
I'll give you an example.
Jack Posobiec was standing out in the middle of the street.
Literally not in the middle of the street.
He was out in public.
And he got hit by some antifa.
Fortunately, police officers saw it happen.
But some young fat woman said, I didn't see anything.
Nothing happened.
With a smug smile on her face, nothing happened.
But the police did, so her lying was meaningless.
But take a look at a person that would do that.
A person like this California professor.
Barbara F. Walter, I think is right.
A civil war may be coming.
And it's possible that, you know, Christian white men may be those take first action that you could describe as a civil war.
Perhaps.
I don't know.
I'm not a professor.
But how do you ignore Antifa extremism, violence, and terrorism, and then argue it was someone else that started the war?
Sorry.
If at this point a war were to break out, I'd say it's the left, the weaponization of the DOJ, arresting pro-life activists, But these people are nuts.
You've even got Bill Maher.
We'll play a little bit of this.
I'm not going to play the full video, but I want you to hear what Bill Maher had to say.
unidentified
That is the context for this terrible attack on Speaker Pelosi's husband, her home, and what's targeting her.
But if we're talking about prominent left-wing voices who advocated for the death of the Covington Catholic students, If we're talking about the people who advocated to go out and punch people, smash windows, and engage in violence, if you're talking about Antifa, that routinely organizes illegal activities and incitement on Twitter and never gets banned, sure, we got a problem with violent rhetoric.
But where are the prominent conservative voices doing any of that?
What is the next civil war we're going to have look like?
And of course, it's not going to look like the last one, because it's not like we're neatly on two sides of a border with armies that are going to fight each other.
It's going to look like this.
It's going to look like attacks on different people.
He's wrong.
There was a drag queen story hour in a pub in Portland, I think it was, last week.
It was violence.
They kind of attacked it and there was some sort of ra-ha-ha outside with weapons and so forth.
It may actually look a lot like the first Civil War.
Look again, I'll stress, I'm not a historian.
And I know I don't know nearly as much as most historians and even enthusiasts.
But I can tell you, if you think that the Civil War was a dividing line, where a bunch of states were staunchly in support of slavery, and the North was a bunch of people staunchly opposed to it, you're completely wrong.
The first states to secede from the Union, they were scared of Abraham Lincoln.
But it wasn't until after Fort Sumter and Abraham Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteer forces to go and suppress the South, stop the secession, did four other states then join in.
And it's because these states were actually divided.
In Maryland, it was divided.
In Maryland, which was a slave state, they joined the Union.
Why?
I think the reality was they had no choice.
D.C.
is southwest.
Abraham Lincoln created a suspension of habeas corpus, a corridor going up from D.C.
into Pennsylvania, arresting whoever he wanted without charge or trial.
And they even arrested several members of the Maryland Assembly or their state representatives.
I think it was something like 30 to 40 or so got arrested.
There were many states that were very much split down the middle.
North Carolina being a good example.
So to argue that the dividing line goes from the middle of our streets and like it did back then too.
Not everybody in the South was a slave owner or even cared about slavery.
But when they voted, and they decided, and then the federal government said no, that created a major conflict.
So, Bill, from one person who is not greatly educated on the issue to another, I encourage you to simply walk down the street in historic Civil War territory, where I live right now.
And you go out, you walk down the street, and there's like a little historical placard thing overlooking a river, and it's like, here's why this river was significant.
It gives you bits of history.
I've been reading these things for a bit.
I mean, I watched a few documentaries, watched some movies, watched a bunch of YouTube videos, and then I read some academic historical papers because, let's be honest, that's probably more accurate than a lot of this stuff.
And I can tell you right now, for one, Bill Maher blaming the right is wrong.
I do think the right is susceptible to being crushed if a civil war does break out.
And I think people need to research and understand the first civil war to understand what may happen.
But I don't know what's going to happen in this country and I can't predict the future.
I can tell you that previously Bill Maher said there can't be another civil war.
He said there can't be another civil war.
It's amazing.
How could he say that and now?
He says we have to see each other not as mortal enemies, but merely as roommates from hell.
Sure.
Taken from somebody who's traveled across this country my whole life, there are no red states or blue states.
They're all like Mitch McConnell's hand, some shade of purple.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
We can't have a second Civil War because the two sides aren't neatly separate anymore.
The Mason-Dixon line would cut through states, cities, streets, even bedrooms.
Except Bill.
We weren't evenly divided last time.
Several slave states joined the Union, but I thought we were neatly divided.
Slave states versus free states.
Not true.
In fact, the Emancipation Proclamation only ended slavery in rebellion states.
That meant, I think there were four states in the Union that still had slaves, and they were allowed to keep them.
Granted, after the war ended, you got Republicans who voted for the 13th and 14th Amendments, which then ended slavery.
Finally.
But Bill, you don't know what you're talking about.
I do think, however, things could get really bad.
But you may have things like this.
Let me play just a little clip from this video for you.
Someone knocks on their door and says, fill out the ballot, and they say, okay, I guess, sure, whatever.
Older voters go out because they do care.
If Miami-Dade turns red, it is going to be historic.
Take a look at this from RealClearPolitics.
I showed you this at the beginning of the video, but we'll go through it once more.
We're now getting some changes here.
It looks like New Hampshire's 1st District, this is, who do we have running in NH1?
This is Leavitt versus Pappas.
And the latest poll, so previously we saw Pappas was leading, now Leavitt is up by 6 points.
A whole 6 percentage points in the latest poll.
Leavitt, I believe Carolyn Leavitt is her name, is a former Trump White House aide.
Now looking to win in a Democrat area.
It was a Democrat incumbent, went toss-up, now they're saying it's leaning GOP.
When you take a look at the Democratic seats that are up, there are many that lean Democrat, but mostly they're toss-ups.
Now, there's more Democrat seats than Republican because the Democrats have the majority, for sure.
But of the Republican seats that are up, It's mostly leaning Republican.
The Democrats are vulnerable.
And some projections suggest it could actually be 255 seats for Republicans.
Now hey, don't count your chickens before they hatch.
You think 255 is nuts?
Go out and vote.
You think 255 is nuts?
Go out and vote and push it to 266.
270.
You know what?
Just do the whole thing.
All of it.
535, Republican.
Okay, I get it.
You're not going to win in some places.
Fine, fine.
It's never going to be that crazy.
But right now, they're actually saying, real clear politics projection, 54 Republican seats.
To me, that's kind of crazy.
I don't know if I can believe that, but I'm pretty sure Predict It is saying exactly that.
Right now.
I'm sorry, they're saying 53.
Predicted thinks New Hampshire will go Democrat, but the prediction market is leaning towards 53 Republican seats.
Now that's crazy, man.
That'll get interesting.
Looking at the RealClearPolitics house map.
New Mexico.
Here we go.
We've got two districts in New Mexico.
New Mexico's first and third are leaning Democrat.
What did we see in 2020?
In 2020, the toss-ups all went Republican, most of them.
The lean Democrats ended up being slightly Republican.
And then even some safe Democrat seats flipped and turned red.
The Democrats were still able to maintain a slight majority.
But if Joe Biden's heading to New Mexico, they got to be worried about something.
The governor projection has 31 states with Republican governors, a net gain of 3, 5 pickups and 2 losses.
I don't think it's fair to say Maryland is a pickup because come on, they got a Republican governor but spare me.
Massachusetts?
Come on.
In New Mexico, Grisham right now is up 4 points.
That's an aggregate though.
The latest polls have Grisham up 2.
If the polls are wrong, and they likely are, it explains why Joe Biden is desperately going to safe blue areas.
They know.
The polls show a plus two, but if the polls are off by seven, it's Republican plus five.
They've always been skewed, the pollsters, the polls.
So we'll see.
I think this one's going to be, this one's going to get pretty interesting.
Over in Pennsylvania, they're projecting that Dr. Oz will win.
In the past couple of weeks, Oz has taken the lead, and the last poll shows he's up three points.
Decision Desk says that Dr. Oz is favored to win, and it's only in the past day or so that Oz actually overtook Federman in the spread.
It's gonna be crazy, my friends, but I hope you're ready.
Daily Mail reports Oz takes the lead over Fetterman by two points with five days to go.
Democrats' support begins to slow after debate performance with GOP surging in momentum nationwide and heading towards a red wave.
Mehmet Oz for the first time surpassed Fetterman.
We see this.
We can see the new poll.
This is from Emerson with Mehmet Oz up two points.
Makes sense to me.
You want to know why they're going to lose?
For a variety of reasons.
They're campaigning on stupid issues, but here's one I love from The Atlantic.
Democrats keep falling for superstar losers.
There's never been a better time to lose an election.
And there's a picture of Stacey Abrams and Beto O'Rourke.
Two really awful, duplicitous individuals, in my opinion.
Stacey Abrams, an election denier, and Beto O'Rourke says, Heck yeah, we're gonna take your AR-15s!
God!
So stupid!
We'll take your guns, man!
Okay, Beto.
He's gonna take people's AR-15s.
Bro, you have no idea what you're talking about.
It's looking like a cultural shift is in front of us.
If you go out and vote, and you get your friends to vote, and if every single person who watches this brings friends to go vote, here's what could happen.
If Republicans really do win as big as they're saying, and they might not, let's operate under the assumptions Republicans do well.
And again, Democrats may actually win.
I'm telling you, they're already saying in Pennsylvania, you gotta wait two days before you know what happened.
If the projections are actually correct, and you all go out and vote in force, it could cause such lasting damage to the Democratic Party, no one runs under their banner ever again.
Now that would be bold.
It would require every single Republican to vote.
Every single independent who leans GOP to vote.
Maximum turnout.
But just think about how amazing that would be.
The Democrats campaigning on no-limit abortion and child sex changes.
Shutting down Keystone and jacking up the price of gas.
Lose.
And they lose so badly, Republicans win a supermajority.
And then in 2024, Republicans win again.
At that point, people are going to say, ah, the Democratic Party is a thing of the past.
If you're going to run, you're going to run as a Republican, and you're going to try and get in the primary.
Then you might actually see Republicans versus Libertarians.
You'll see more moderate Democrats be like, I'm going to be with the Republicans on this one.
Look at Jeff Van Drew.
He ditched the Democrats a couple years ago, joined the Republicans.
He wins his primary in a landslide.
Because people like it.
He's a middle-of-the-road dude.
But he's like, the Democrats have lost the plot, man.
So.
The end of our democracy?
No.
Just the end of the Democratic Party.
I'll leave it there.

Last night, President Joe Biden issued a stark warning that we can't take democracy for granted any longer.
You see, what Joe Biden was doing was claiming that the only way to save democracy Is to vote out Republicans.
Now, of course, in this speech, he's trying to pretend like he cares about Republicans.
He does.
The real ones.
The reality is, the Establishment Uniparty is in sheer panic.
They are sweating bullets, as the saying goes.
Because when MAGA Republicans get in, en masse, and it's looking like they will, they will if you go out and vote, I'll tell you that.
But if they do, there's a real possibility that something might change in this country.
Something for the better.
I'm not saying it's going to be reformation or revolution overnight, but you may actually get a handful of Republicans who start calling for inquiries, start demanding the government be for, of, and by the people.
For too long, this country has been ruled by the uniparty establishment.
And now, thanks to the internet mostly, regular people, real America-first candidates are getting into office.
There's only a handful of them right now.
But...
Following Donald Trump's victory, there has been an ever-increasing push of populists into office.
And now we may see the biggest one yet.
So, of course, the powerful elites, the wealthy scumbags who have been spitting in our faces for decades, are worried, oh no, what's going to happen to me?
The funny thing is, I wonder if Joe Biden's going to get criminally charged.
You know, they like to say that sooner or later Donald Trump will be charged.
Well, yeah, that's the establishment doing its thing.
Trying to stop Donald Trump because, well, they're the ones who are actually guilty of the crimes.
It's projection.
And I'll give you an example.
I won't leave you hanging.
Burisma.
I mean, even Jon Stewart came out and said it was abject corruption that Joe Biden's son was put on the board of directors of an energy company while Joe was involved in policy with Ukraine.
That is corruption.
Okay, maybe you don't get criminally charged for it, but maybe there's some stuff on that old Hunter Biden laptop.
Maybe there can be some subpoenas and investigations that uncover what the Bidens were really doing with, say, you know, China, private equity deals.
Is it a coincidence that Politico magazine put out Biden, Inc.? ?
A story about how when Joe Biden's put in charge of Iraq, his brother gets these lucrative contracts for construction.
Amazing how that works.
And then when Joe Biden's supposed to be negotiating with Ukraine, his son is just on the board of this energy company.
An energy company, no less, when the U.S.
interests are deeply connected with Russian energy transporting through Ukraine.
It's very fascinating, isn't it?
So maybe this is a real opportunity for some change, or at the very least, another grain of sand.
Another notch and about another notch in your bedpost.
Call it whatever you want.
From 2016, 18, 2020, more populists are starting to win.
Here's the story from CNN, and boy am I looking forward to debunking this, because I will.
President Joe Biden on Wednesday delivered a stark warning to Americans that the future of the nation's democracy—oh, our democracy—could rest on next week's midterm elections.
He's right, by the way.
An urgent appeal coming six days before final ballots are cast in a contest the president framed in nearly existential terms.
He's right.
Not for the reason he's saying.
He's right because we just learned that the Department of Homeland Security was colluding with big tech.
This is an intercept report.
To manipulate public opinion and subvert our elections.
If America First's candidates don't win, if actual populists don't win, they can solidify that stranglehold over the public, start censoring people across the board, and then you will not know the dirty deeds they do.
This is an existential threat, and we need Republicans Not really the establishment.
We need MAGA Republicans to get in and eviscerate that apparatus.
I'm not convinced they will.
I'm not.
But I tell you this, it's the Democrats who are wielding it, so I'll take my chances.
We can't take democracy for granted any longer, the president said from Union Station in Washington, blocks from the U.S.
Capitol.
They say we're a mob attempted to interrupt the certification of the 2020 election.
As I stand here today, there are candidates running for every level of office in America, for governor, for Congress, for Attorney General, for Secretary of State, who won't commit to accepting the results of elections they're in.
Whoa!
Biden, are you talking about Hillary Clinton and Stacey Abrams?
It's unprecedented, it's unlawful, and it's un-American.
Quote, this intimidation, this violence against Democrats, Republicans, and non-partisan officials just doing their jobs is the consequence of lies told for power and profit.
Lies of conspiracy and malice.
Lies repeated over and over to generate a cycle of anger, hate, vitriol, and even violence.
In this moment, we have to confront those lies with truth.
The very future of our nation depends on it.
I agree, Joe Biden.
I agree.
So let's start with some of your lies.
Here's a good one.
Oh, I'm sorry.
This was actually the truth.
But why'd they delete it?
White House is forced to delete.
Fact check tweet.
Claiming Biden has given American seniors the biggest boost in Social Security in 10 years.
Okay.
So it was a lie.
Here's the tweet.
Seniors are getting the biggest increase in their social security checks in 10 years through President Biden's leadership.
I believe your Ministry of Truth refers to this as malinformation.
Malinformation is information that's true, but taken out of context to make it seem like something different.
The tweet makes it seem like Joe Biden signed a hard document like, let's give our seniors more money, man.
In reality, he was fact-checked.
It was President Nixon in 1972 who signed into law the Automatic Benefit Adjustment, tied to the Consumer Price Index.
Seniors getting their biggest increase?
That's because it's the biggest inflation!
It's really funny how they screwed that one up.
Well, after trying to manipulate the public with malinformation, they got fact-checked on Twitter and then deleted the tweet.
But let me give you a direct example of how evil these people are.
This is a story from the Detroit Free Press.
Stephen Colbert doubted existence of man Tudor Dixon cited in debate.
Yesterday, there was also a debate night for Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and her opponent, Kirkland brand Gretchen Whitmer, Tudor Dixon.
Dixon is another anti-choice MAGA Republican.
Well, it turns out that's very unpopular in Michigan, so she's focused her campaign on another issue entirely, and it came up again last night.
unidentified
What I've heard from parents across the state is inappropriate content in school libraries.
If you have material in your school that is something that you can't read to a child at a bus stop because you would be arrested because it is pornographic, then it should not be in our classrooms.
We all have happy memories of bedtime when you get in your PJs, grab a glass of water, head on down to the bus stop for a bedtime story from a drifter named Shambles.
Would he come out in his defense and say, we know it's not true, but it was a comedy
bit that no one would believe was real?
Sue.
Sue.
Because at the very least, you tried.
Maybe you get summary judgment and they say it's, you know, anti-slap or something.
I don't know.
But he said outright that Tudor Dixon made this story up.
That's a bold thing to say.
That's not an opinion.
An opinion is like if you call someone a fascist.
An opinion is like, I think, you know, if I said Stephen Colbert is actively working with communists, that's actually an opinion.
But if you said someone did a thing they did not do, now it's getting interesting.
And the fact remains that even the Detroit Free Press took 10 seconds and found out the story was true.
So let's throw it back to our good friend Joe Biden.
Lying for power like you, you duplicitous scumbag.
Yeah.
Lies repeated over and over and over to generate a cycle of anger.
I can literally pull up a story from right now.
Okay, from just, you know, yesterday afternoon.
How about that?
Where Colbert lied to 2 to 3 million people.
I think his rating is around 2 million.
2 million people live in this psychotic, deranged world.
Where Colbert comes out and goes, Don't believe!
Don't believe the truth!
Don't Google it!
They live in this world where on CNN they say, You're not allowed to read WikiLeaks' emails.
They live in a world where the Department of Homeland Security colluded with Big Tech to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Because within it, there is evidence that Joe Biden himself is as corrupt as corrupt comes.
Even Jon Stewart said it.
That it's corruption.
And so here we are.
This is the world we're in right now.
Biden thinks democracy is Democrats in power.
Republicans tear into President for dividing Americans because he can't talk about his own policies after speech warning of dark forces in the midterms.
Yeah.
That's it.
Biden, during his remarks in D.C., linked his predecessor's rhetoric to recent attacks.
So who's the Republican you're referring to, Joe Biden?
The good ones.
Pence.
There you go.
Tom Cotton says to Biden, democracy means one thing.
Democrats having complete power.
And this is the scary reality.
The reality is that there are going to be a lot of people who believe Colbert.
I know it's supposed to be comedy and it's just jokes.
It's one thing to tell a joke that's an anecdote or a story that's embellished.
It's another thing to get up on late-night TV and tell a story that is presumed to be true with jokes sprinkled in it.
Then, you're manipulating people.
But you know, Colbert is a genuinely evil dude.
It's either malicious evil or the banality of evil.
Pick whichever one you want.
Either way, it's evil.
When you tell people to march in lockstep to their own demise, for whatever reason, you are involved in evil.
They talk about the banality of evil.
The Nazis.
Why they went along with these things.
It's actually really simple.
We know the horror stories of World War II.
We know the horror stories of the Holodomor.
Why is it that these people would make this machine possible?
Why is it that they would do the things they did?
Here's the reality.
There were many people who are serving in the German military.
They didn't know exactly what they were doing.
They just did it.
They didn't ask questions.
They just said, sure, why not?
Of course, there were a lot of people who knew exactly what they were doing, mostly at the higher ranks, and many people actually in these concentration camps.
Death camps is a better way to put it.
They knew exactly what they were doing.
But what about, you know, Hans, who's stationed in one small town, and he's loading people up into a train?
Did he know exactly what was going on?
Yeah, probably not.
Not all of them.
Some of them probably did.
Many of them probably didn't.
But it's no excuse.
In fact, we specifically call them out for the banality of evil.
That they went along with something that was shocking.
The fact that you would even decide to round the person up.
And you think, well, I didn't know.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
You were in that machine and you made it all possible.
You need to know exactly what you're doing and why.
So perhaps if someone comes to you and tells you to round up an ethnic minority, you might consider that to be a really, really bad thing.
And that's what we judge them for.
Because you did it.
You did.
You look at Colbert.
Maybe he's just really dumb.
Why did he say we looked it up when they didn't?
I think he's malicious evil.
I think Colbert knows for a fact that he's lying.
That's my opinion.
And now you're seeing Republicans come out.
I mean, it's basically every Republican.
Andy Biggs.
Americans are fed up with Biden.
Instead of listening to their concerns, he responded by holding a national address to patronize them.
You know what?
Let him do it!
You know why?
Right now, Americans are concerned about gas prices.
They're concerned about crime.
And many of them actually are concerned that their children are being sexualized.
Let them come out and lie!
And focus on nonsense!
Clearly, this man Khalil exists!
And he quit the Democratic Party.
He says, quote, My name is Khalil Oathman.
I came all the way from Dearborn, Michigan.
I am here along with two parents, concerned parents, against these sexually explicit books.
He said, I am a proud Muslim American who expresses my values and concerns all the time.
Dearborn has been voting Democrat Blue for the last decade or two decades, but not anymore.
On behalf of myself and my family, I guarantee you for sure that my family and friends will vote for Republicans.
Good!
Let Joe Biden say whatever he wants.
Let Colbert lie to people.
You know why?
Because the people here?
The veil is being shattered.
The lie, the facade, the veneer is starting to peel.
You can go out and you can lie all you want, but all that does is further solidify opposition to your psychosis.
There may be some regular person who likes watching Colbert.
And then someone shows them a book.
And they go, that's really weird, that's in schools?
And they're like, yeah, I'm not happy about this.
The school won't take it out.
I'm asking the school board, they're not saying, they're refusing to do it.
I went to my local rep, they said they're gonna keep it in.
So I'm thinking like, what's going on?
And someone hears that and they go, I don't know, that's crazy.
Then they turn on Colbert and Colbert lies.
And they go, wait, what?
But I know that's true.
There may be people, and this one's funny, who agree with the books, who watch Colbert and say, what?
He's lying.
The books are in the schools.
We like that they're there.
Why is he lying?
Uh-oh.
This may actually wake people up.
He says in a Facebook post, Oathman, Offman or Oathman, never once did I ever vote Republican.
However, the situation with the sexually explicit material in the schools was a bridge, for me, was a bridge too far.
When it comes to my kids and my family, I will not budge.
A few days later, during a debate with Dixon and Whitmer, Dixon described Oathman's story.
Dixon didn't say his name, but a spokesman for the campaign later confirmed to the free press it was Oathman.
During, I think it's Othman.
During the, or it could be Otman.
Is it Otman?
During the Sunday, I don't know, rally, Dixon said he was from Dearborn.
And a gentleman came up to me a few nights ago, and he said, I found content at my school library, so we saw this.
Colbert mocked Dixon as an anti-choice MAGA Republican.
Now, why is that?
Colbert is supposed to be addressing the nation, right?
Why is he overtly partisan, an anti-choice MAGA Republican?
He could say pro-life, my republican.
The left understands what that means.
He says anti-choice.
You see, we here at TimCast, we don't use that language.
Official editorial policy for TimCast.com is not to say pro-life or pro-choice.
It's to say pro-abortion or anti-abortion.
That's it.
And of course, the funny thing is the left gets mad about that.
They're like, saying pro-abortion is wrong.
We're not in favor of abortion.
We just think women should have a choice.
And I'm like, dude, Do you think the law should allow abortion, or do you think the law should ban abortion?
That's it.
I'm not playing political games with you.
Pro-choice and pro-life?
Political games.
I'm not going to say pro-life, because many of these people are in favor of the death penalty.
We know what you mean.
The funny thing is, Republicans don't mind if you call them anti-abortion.
Pro-lifers don't mind when you call them anti-abortion.
They say, yep, that's true.
Funny.
After the clip ran, Colbert said, okay, fine, that happened, raising two hands with two fingers.
I think Tudor should absolutely sue.
I think Othman should sue.
Because this is outright defamation.
He's saying this guy's story is completely fake and he's not a public figure.
But, well, you know, we'll see, I suppose.
Adopting the voice of a haughty man outraged, he said, that's like saying, excuse me, Schumer, blah, blah, blah.
Sure.
Whitmer said during the debate that she and others are listening to the concerns of parents, but also wants to be inclusive and ensure the safety of all students.
Offman said Colbert's remarks about him are part of an effort to hurt the momentum of Republicans winning over Muslims in Dearborn.
Right now, it's a crunch time for both candidates, and he's trying whatever he can do with his media influence to hurt her campaign.
My friend, Sue.
I say you should call a lawyer right now.
Monday.
On Monday.
Have the press release.
We are suing Colbert for calling us liars.
And Tudor Dixon should probably do it all the same.
Do not let these people lie to win elections.
That's the cost of doing business.
Defamation.
Because they know if they gotta pay a million bucks for having defamed someone, small price to pay in races that cost tens to hundreds of millions of dollars, right?
It's amazing, isn't it?
Joe Biden is dividing this nation, and it's very, very dangerous for our democracy.
Is that what you're supposed to say?
Sure.
I'll leave it there.
Next segment's coming up at 1pm on this channel.
Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.
Ah yes, and once again the saga continues.
AOC complains her Twitter account conveniently not working after tiff with CEO Elon Musk.
Okay, for all of the things that we're concerned about with Elon Musk taking over Twitter, notably that he's working with some of these woke grievance organizations, you gotta admit, you'd rather have Elon Musk at the helm of Twitter than the previous Twitter administration.
Because at least right now, he's mocking and trolling AOC, and he plans to fire 50% of all jobs.
So, you know, like I said, net positive.
The only reason that I come out and say, hey Elon, stop working with organizations like New Knowledge and these grievance institutions, is because if you do not keep the flame a-burnin', then eventually Elon Musk starts giving in to the left.
My point is this.
Many on the left, they riot, they complain, they boycott.
And so big corporations, listen.
Which means we cannot sit back and just say, I trust Elon to do the right thing.
No, no, no.
You gotta keep the pressure on and say, dude, no.
Do not work with them.
I'll tell you this.
I signed up for Twitter Blue because it was a cheaper way to get access to subscription-only news services.
Because I like to read these news organizations.
I don't like that I have to give them money, but, you know, to know what they're writing about, you do gotta pay.
Twitter Blue apparently was like, it's gonna be cheaper, instead of spending ten bucks at all these places, five bucks, one, you know, per month, and you get them all.
Never worked.
When I saw that Elon Musk was working with the woke grievance organizations, I cancelled my Twitter Blue.
I will sign back up and give the eight dollars that Elon requests when he proves he's actually going to free the political prisoners.
But here's the best part.
Let's get political.
With the midterms just around the corner, let's bring up how AOC is a narcissist.
She's complaining that her Twitter account isn't working after she got into a tiff with Elon Musk, as if to imply that Elon went into the code singling out her account and said, no more mentions for you.
Okay, I get it.
Not only does AOC not understand how basic economics works, she doesn't understand how social media websites work, and she's so narcissistic she thinks Elon Musk is targeting her.
Dude, he tweeted at you one time.
Calm down.
Here's the story.
The feud between new Twitter CEO Elon Musk and rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continued Wednesday evening before the lawmaker claimed her account conveniently stopped working.
Hours after Musk addressed critics of the platform's proposed plan to charge users $8 a month to keep their blue checks, Ocasio-Cortez fired back at Musk.
One guy's business plan for a $44 billion over-leveraged purchase is apparently to run around and individually ask people for $8, she wrote in a series of tweets.
Remember that the next time you question yourself or your qualifications.
I mean, it's an excellent self-own.
Because, like, all businesses do that.
It's just really funny.
But AOC, who's never actually run a company or... I mean, she's a bartender, and I have no disrespect there.
I respect the hustle, you know?
And then she got elected.
Those are great things.
That's a great thing.
But AOC, you have no idea how to run a business.
Literally, what Elon Musk is doing is like, Business 101.
Ask your customers for money.
Do you think that, like, he would open a Starbucks and then be like, the coffee's free!
Here you go.
Here's what we did.
Over at TimCast, we had a CastCastle Vlog.
And we were doing fairly well on YouTube, but it's really hard to maintain.
So first we were going weekly, right?
And we would get like between $50,000 and $100,000.
And then we decided you don't make enough money doing that.
You cannot sustain the salaries of several people.
If it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
So then we said, okay, how about we do this?
How about we make it daily, and then we'll get less views per video, but more views overall?
Made it a lot harder, and ultimately, it didn't work out.
So you know what we did?
We put it behind the paywall over at TimCast.com.
It was either that, or stop doing it all together.
Now, we had a hundred and something thousand subscribers, and so I put it simply.
Guys, either it doesn't exist, or those who really do like it and are willing to spend ten bucks a month at TimCast.com, They spend the ten bucks.
Now, it's actually making more money.
Still not really breaking even, but it's making more money and it's getting substantially less viewership.
Now, I don't know how much it costs over at our store.
It might be comparable, but I'm pretty sure that's on the high end.
I think it's like 40 bucks for a hoodie.
And that's just the default price, not the price that... I don't think we set that.
And shirts over at TimCast.com are like 20 to 30 bucks.
Again, those are like... I'm pretty sure we just do like the default for Teespring.
Hey man, stuff's not cheap.
But guess what?
I'm not a socialist like AOC.
You know, if we put up a limited edition premium t-shirt for a hundred bucks, I'd be like, buy it or don't.
And some people might be like, dude, that's too expensive.
I'll be like, don't buy it.
I don't know what to tell you, man.
We are capitalists.
So we say, if it's too expensive, I just won't buy it.
It's that simple.
We don't have a tantrum and be like, businesses shouldn't charge money.
How you're so dumb.
Then Ocasio-Cortez notifications conveniently stopped working, she claimed.
Oh, I love this.
Here's what she tweeted.
Also, my Twitter mentions and notifications conveniently aren't working tonight, so I was informed via text that I seem to have gotten under a certain billionaire's skin.
Haha, crying laughing emoji.
That's a reminder, just a reminder that money will never buy your way out of insecurity, folks.
Oh no!
And then she typo'd.
LMAO at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that free speech is actually an $8 a month subscription plan.
AOC, do you have a phone?
Do you pay for the phone bill?
You do?
Is it like $30 a month or something?
That allows you to speak and they can't censor you?
Yo, look, I know you don't think really hard about these things, but, uh, when you buy a phone, and then, um, you pay a phone bill, and the phone allows you to send messages, the phone company doesn't come and ban you because you sent a naughty text message.
They kind of leave you alone.
But you gotta pay your bills.
Now, Elon Musk responds, your feedback is appreciated, now pay $8.
Sure, Elon.
I am down to pay $8 when you unban people.
And maybe he will.
I'm not saying he won't.
I'm just saying those are the terms.
He tweeted this meme last night.
It's an NPC with a blue check saying $8 a month for Twitter verification, so much for free speech.
Then the person responds, you can still use Twitter for free just without the benefits.
And then the NPC person gets very angry.
Ooh, man, Elon.
I love how you're making fun of leftists and then thinking they're gonna stay on the platform.
You may as well just take the sledgehammer to the platform and say, we ain't playing these games.
But, you know what people have said?
Elon's playing 4D chess.
He can say whatever he wants to AOC and leftists, but he wants to make sure he's telling the advertisers he is taking these concerns seriously.
He posted this meme of the soy jack with the glasses, smiling at an $8 Starbucks Frappuccino with 30 minutes next to it, and then crying at a blue check that says 30 days with an $8 price tag.
Okay.
When I go to Starbucks.
I'm not a fan of Starbucks.
I tweeted this recently.
Go to local places.
And I try whenever I can.
If I can't, look, I'll go to Starbucks.
Guys, listen.
If you have Netflix, I ain't judging you.
I think you'd be better off if you bought a subscription to The Daily Wire or TimCast.com, but the truth is, we do not have such a large offering that they do.
So I'm not gonna sit here and be like, for ideological reasons, abandon your entertainment and only give me money.
I'll say, it's better if you stop giving your money to people who hate you, but we're going to try and win, not beg.
I mean, I have no problem with people saying, like, support us, right?
You know what I mean?
You have an option to go to TimCast.com and sign up to become a member.
Here's what I want to do.
I want to make shows that are so good, people want to sign up, and then stop signing up for Netflix and Disney+.
That's my goal.
That's what I want to see.
Now, as for Twitter, he's going to have to prove that he's doing what he says he's going to be doing.
That's the important thing.
It's about running a business, man.
And, uh, if he's not, then I'm not interested.
Because if he's gonna pander to these woke leftists, then, mm-mm, I'm not gonna give that more money.
They say it's not immediately clear when Musk anticipates starting the monthly fee.
He has also suggested making exceptions to the charge for scientific journals and others.
Musk agreed to buy Twitter for $44 billion, this we understand, and now he's gonna fire everybody, so, good.
The Daily Mail reports, Elon Musk's Twitter revamp is set to kick off tomorrow, with the billionaire expected to cut half of all Twitter jobs on Friday and introduce a controversial $8 a month blue check charge for verified users by Monday.
Now that's interesting.
By Monday?
I ain't gonna pay until you unban everybody, so say it's a few more weeks, we're good.
I get to keep my blue check for 90 days?
Sounds good to me.
Hopefully within those 90 days you free the political prisoners, or at least show us you're working towards doing so, because I don't trust you because I fell for the same thing with Jack Dorsey.
I'll gladly sign up for eight bucks a month.
I got no problem.
Although I gotta be honest, Stephen King was right when he said he should be paying us.
We are the top tier creators, like the big accounts that are tweeting things that people like.
Now Elon says he's gonna be making something like that.
Okay.
I think everyone should be able to have a monetized version of their account.
Anybody can make a YouTube channel.
You can then apply for the partner program.
Twitter should have a partner program as well.
If they integrate with Rubble, that would be awesome.
There's rumors that they'll do a long-form video section.
That would be really great.
I would start uploading these videos to Twitter where I have 1.3 million followers.
And Elon, run ads on those videos, give a lion's share cut, give 80% to the users, And I tell you what, you will start displacing YouTube.
I got, on this channel right now, I got 1.12 million subs.
Slow growing channel.
But the views are pretty stable and I make a good amount of money off of it.
I got 1.3 million on Twitter and I don't put videos up there.
Yo, Elon.
Monetize it.
Allow us to upload long-form videos, podcast-style stuff, and you will own.
Let's see it.
I will pay.
I'll put it this way.
If it was just for hosting with no monetization, I don't know if I'd be interested in splitting my revenue just to put stuff on your platform so that people could watch it.
That just makes you more money.
But if you do a rev share, and it rivals YouTube or these other platforms, yo, I'll start uploading my videos to Twitter.
Long-form podcasts make it easier to listen to.
I'm down.
All right, they say, Musk51 wavered throughout his attempt to buy Twitter, blah blah blah blah blah.
The 3,700 cuts now being touted would amount to about half the staff, and would see them follow out five high-level executives.
Another IDA pitch was a charge for a blue check.
We know he's doing that.
Musk's touted move has been criticized by some who say key users of the platform create the content that give its value.
Others have said previous attempts by companies to monetize something previously free have seldom been successful.
The real thing you want to do is actually create a value proposition.
That's what you want to do.
Now here's the challenge.
YouTube is subsidized by Google.
They sell so many ads across the board.
They control so much that they can lose money on YouTube.
It's tough.
Here's the deal.
Here's the deal, Elon.
I got super follows turned on, but I got no real reason to post anything.
There's some super posts that are there, and sometimes people sign up.
But we haven't been doing any events, so I don't really have anything to post.
I could put, you know, premium content on Twitter, but that's increasing my workload for a platform that I just don't think is all that good.
Make it better.
Make it better.
And you know what we can do?
This is an interesting thought.
I could actually put up my videos for super followers, ad-free.
Now, to be completely honest, a better thing to do would be to put all of the content on TeamCast.com behind a paywall with no ads.
And that's one thing we could do, but the bandwidth costs are pretty hefty.
Seriously.
If we were getting hundreds of thousands of views, I mean, I suppose if a video was getting 200k views, we'd have 200,000 plus paying members at 10 bucks a month, That's a lot of money every month.
The bandwidth costs would not reach that much, so it would work out.
But we'll see.
The bigger challenge for us is technology and personnel.
We would need more people to work here, more QA, and we definitely need to make the website work better.
But anyway, I digress.
Here's what he's doing.
Elon's gonna charge eight bucks for the blue check, among other things.
He's gonna fire about half the staff.
He's gonna end Twitter's work-from-anywhere policy introduced earlier this year.
That is a smart move.
I do not like remote work, to be completely honest.
I understand it needs to exist in certain respects, that's fine.
But I am not in favor of that.
Make changes to Twitter's moderation policy to promote free speech and reduce what Musk sees as an overzealous suspension and bans.
Introduce a new paid video feature that has been likened to OnlyFans.
That's interesting.
What if I uploaded this video to Twitter, and you had to spend $10 a month, but you could watch it ad-free?
Just $10 and you will get, what do I do?
Two videos, about 20, so 50 videos for just $10.
That might actually lose me a lot of money, to be completely honest.
So, you know, it's really hard to know what to do, because I'll be real with everybody.
The goal here at TimCast is to keep doing things.
Purposefully reducing the amount of money we make is a bad idea.
We're trying to compete with the likes of Netflix and Disney, etc.
And I know we're a new company, only a couple years old, and we're trying to grow, and we're very ambitious, but we've got to play the game.
So we charge 10 bucks.
Daily Wire, for their video content, I think they charge more than us.
We might be better off charging more, but it is what it is.
I'm not going to intentionally hurt the company for just to support Twitter or whatever.
It's not going to happen.
But here's what we want.
We want balance.
We want to make sure that we're charging enough to where we cover our bills, we cover our staff, we're charging enough to where we're making enough money to expand the company, because we do want to compete, and we're also not breaking the bank for most of you, so those who can afford it do.
It's business.
I'm not, you know, I've always been a slightly left-leaning individual.
I'm not doing this that I can buy an infinity pool or go to outer space or anything like that.
I'm doing it because I want to see positive change.
I wonder if that's true for Elon.
I don't completely think so, but I think to a certain degree.
A lot of people don't like him for a lot of reasons.
But here's what I want to see.
I want to see kids lead healthy and happy lives.
I want to see families get the support they need.
I want to see the working class have their wages legitimately go up and their standard of living improve.
Capitalism is a great way to do that.
I want to combat the woke cult and their advocacy for the destruction of humanity.
The belief that there are too many people and you gotta get rid of them, gotta blow them up.
Too many kids, gotta blow them up.
That's what Obama was doing.
I don't like any of that.
I wanna occupy Mars like Elon Musk.
I think if we got too many people, let's load them up in a big ol' spaceship, send them to Mars.
Get them on a big ol' ship headed towards Alpha Centauri.
I want to see humanity expand into the stars.
I want to see a galactic federation.
How do we get there?
Integrity.
Strong culture.
Strong values.
Recognizing that traditions do change, but still holding on to the ones that help make us successful and strong.
And that means we have to win against a media apparatus that seeks to crap all over us.
To destroy everything and make us live like Tribal cavemen living in the wilderness with no technology.
I do understand that with the rapid expansion of human population there's a lot of waste.
I believe this threatens the environment and we could eventually fart ourselves to death much like yeast.
You consume everything until there's nothing left.
So what do we need?
Technology.
The solution to this problem is not to condemn humans to suffering and death, The solution to the problem is to focus on expanding technologies that can get us to the stars, that can build space stations, that can terraform Mars, so we can create something amazing.
There is more than enough on this planet to create a massive city in the sky, floating in orbit or whatever.
Maintaining it?
We might have to mine some comets or asteroids and things like that.
It'd be very, very cool.
We can get there.
I think so.
You know, maybe there's a lot of people who think we're just trapped on this planet, spinning around and can't go anywhere, so they want us to live like, you know, cavemen or whatever.
I don't buy it.
I look at Star Trek, and I see what humans can imagine, and what they can envision.
And we will get there, more likely to get there, if we follow the vision of people like Elon Musk, as opposed to the vision of people like Bill Gates.
So that's what matters.
Is Elon Musk a saint?
Certainly not.
Is he a good dude?
I think he's a good dude.
I think he's flawed.
I think he's got business interests in China I don't trust.
I think he says a bunch of stupid things.
I think he's, you know, played dirty games.
But a vision for occupying Mars, for getting to Mars, for pushing humanity.
Expanding human civilization.
It's a noble goal and it's the right thing to do.
And that's what I want to see.
So as much as I might say, you know what?
He's not perfect.
I would rather Elon Musk succeed than Bill Gates.
Because Bill Gates' view of the world is elitist.
Make humans suffer.
There's too many of them.
They're bad.
Elon Musk is Make jokes.
Laugh.
Build cool stuff.
Let's see it, dude.
Let's see the cool stuff actually happen.
So you know what?
Let's get rid of these Twitter employees.
Let's carve the company down, transform it into x.com, add long-form video, payment processors like Square.
I mean, that's what Jack Dorsey was working on.
Still is.
Let's see solutions to the problems of pollution.
We got population collapse in terms of, you know, all these different animals.
Let's solve for it with technology.
Let's not just give up and say, we're better off living in huts.
I'm not interested in that.
I'm interested in humans doing better.
Elon Musk says a paywall bypass for publishers that are willing to work with him and this plan will give Twitter a revenue stream to reward content creators.
He's wrong.
I mean, it's technically the truth.
There's no way that people spending eight bucks is really going to generate enough money to pay creators.
Sorry.
On YouTube, Because these videos are longer and they'll have like a handful of ads in them.
One video for various creators, depending on how big your channel is, can be from hundreds to thousands of dollars.
Now what about Twitter?
How many times you gotta tweet?
How many views you gotta get?
How's it gonna work?
Maybe you need videos.
Maybe you can run ads like Facebook does.
And then maybe you give a share to people.
I actually think there's probably a better way to do it.
The in-stream ads on Twitter are dumb.
Maybe they run short, seven-second ads on videos, and then they give a cut to the person who posted the video.
