Speaker Time Text
tim pool
Gone are the days of fierce opposition to the machine, the likes of Donald Trump.
Trump calls for all Republicans to back McCarthy for Speaker.
Why?
No serious question why.
He put out a post on Truth Social.
That's the big news this morning.
But let me show you something.
We've got Tucker Carlson saying no.
Quote, if you prefer democracy to oligarchy, it's pretty refreshing to see it.
Tucker welcomes chaos around House Speaker vote and demands Kevin McCarthy reigns in FBI and releases January 6 files to win GOP backing.
Donald Trump.
Let's read his statement.
We got Kimberly Klasick with the post on Twitter.
Donald Trump on Truth Social says, some really good conversations took place last night, and it's now time for all of our great Republican House members to vote for Kevin, close the deal, take the victory, and watch crazy Nancy, crazy Nancy Pelosi fly back home to a very broken California, the only speaker in U.S.
history to have lost the House twice.
Republicans do not turn a great triumph into a giant and embarrassing defeat.
It's time to celebrate.
You deserve it.
Kevin McCarthy will do a good job and maybe even a great job.
Just watch.
Look at that first response.
Someone said, he's becoming a politician.
Good.
Okay, I mean, good for you guys.
I don't know, whatever.
I don't care.
I'm not interested.
Was barely interested the first time, not interested now.
Look, man, Kevin McCarthy's a swamp monster, and the goal was to drain the swamp, and Donald Trump is just conceding.
That's how I'm gonna phrase it.
He's giving up.
With all due respect, I will highlight Mike Cernovich, who I do respect, and here's what he says.
McCarthy is as good as it's going to get for speaker. He's made concessions.
Unlike Scalise, he won't sneak in amnesty. Jim Jordan has zero shot and takes Google money.
And it's far from who he presents himself to be. It's Kevin or someone way worse.
Don't say you weren't warned. Okay, fair point.
I think Cernovich is a smart guy. And so I'll accept that.
But, you know, for me, I don't know. I'm not
I'm not interested in supporting the machine.
Donald Trump offered something different, now he doesn't.
Now he's coming out and he's just offering the same old garbage.
I mean, look at what The Hill does to his face.
You know, look, there are a lot of people who blindly believe, blindly follow Trump.
I'm just, I don't know, man.
I think I am just so over Donald Trump at this point, I don't even know what to say.
Maybe there is a small modicum of hope that Trump will actually do something, but Here's a guy who, in the press, they saturate his face.
It's a saturation when you make the colors more pronounced.
So that he looks like an Oompa Loompa.
You see this?
Come on!
I know Trump's orange, but this is over the top.
And Donald Trump is so pathetic that he keeps giving these people interviews.
That he keeps going to these... I'm so over it, man.
Look, I get it.
I get it.
Tactfully, strategically, politically, it's the right choice.
Donald Trump is making some good decisions.
I get it.
I'm not interested in what this offer is.
But logically, I understand why Republicans want Kevin McCarthy.
He's in a leadership position.
I mean that's, I gotta be honest, that's really it.
He's in a leadership position, he's got access, he can help Republicans win or destroy them, so they're falling in line behind him and saying, it's as good as it's gonna get.
But here's a guy who blamed Donald Trump for January 6th, and Donald Trump comes out, he's lost it.
I'll tell you what I think.
I think Trump retired.
I do.
He's an old man.
And I think Trump's thinking like, you know, I'm not gonna, I can't keep doing this.
He's not gonna be the 80-year-old president like Joe Biden.
That's it.
When I look at this right here, you know what I think?
I think DeSantis 2024.
Look, man, every diehard Trump fan in the world can come out in the United States, or wherever they are, and tell me I'm wrong, and that's fine.
You're allowed to think so.
But I will stress it.
This man on the right claimed that Trump was funded by Putin in 2016, blamed Donald Trump for January 6th, And Donald Trump endorses him.
You think that's alpha?
You think that's strength?
When Donald Trump mocked Ted Cruz and made jokes about his dad being the son of Sam or something like that?
Ted Cruz eventually came out and got behind Trump and everyone called him a pathetic loser.
Well, let me tell you guys.
I get it.
It's politics.
If Trump is gonna be in the primaries and he's gonna go aggressive, okay, okay, water under the bridge, we'll move on from this.
But we're not talking about a primary.
We're not talking about the political climate in campaign season.
We're talking about Kevin McCarthy working against America First candidates.
We're talking about Kevin McCarthy directly accusing Trump of being a Russian agent.
We're talking about Kevin McCarthy blaming Donald Trump for January 6th despite the fact that Trump said be peaceful with the party of law and order and Trump endorses him.
Look man, Trump had very little to offer in the first place as far as I'm concerned.
I know for a lot of you, he, look, he's a moderate, right?
Secure the borders.
But now I gotta imagine, I gotta wonder, you're a conservative, you got this guy Donald Trump coming out and he's not pro-life, he blames the pro-life Republicans, like, okay.
Why are you getting behind him?
How does Trump still have such diehard zealots at this point?
And I'll point it out one more time.
Trump keeps giving these interviews to members of the corporate press despite the fact they saturate his face to make him look like an Oompa Loompa.
Yo.
You know what I like?
I like what Tucker Carlson has to say.
All right?
Tucker Carlson is basically like, good!
Good that they're fighting!
And I'm like, yes, he's correct.
At the bare minimum, all right?
With the House vote, I probably should have given you the context here, for those that have missed it.
Historic.
Not in a hundred years has something like this happened.
Where a speaker was not elected in the first vote.
Now we've done three and McCarthy lost each time.
Good.
Let me tell you about the corporate press.
The New York Times.
How far right Are the 20 Republicans who voted against McCarthy.
This is the nature of this country, and it can't survive.
It can't.
The 20 Republicans who voted against McCarthy.
How far right are they?
Five of them are newly elected, and the rest are incumbents.
Twelve denied the election rolls.
This is what Donald Trump supports.
He comes out and he complains.
He's like, listen, you know, we don't like these I'm sorry, guys.
I was not on board with Trump in 2016.
I got on board simply because I saw things were better and I knew what Biden represented.
So I'll put it this way.
With Hillary Clinton and Trump, I'm like, I know Hillary's evil, but Trump was arrogant and it was like celebrity nonsense to me.
I'm like, I'm not interested.
I just don't care.
Then I see the Trump administration, the lies, the manipulation from the corporate press.
I see the Trump administration doing well, and I say, okay, this guy's doing pretty good.
If he was not being bogged down by this corruption, maybe things would get better.
I'm gonna vote for it again.
I'm gonna vote for it for the first time, I should say, in 2020.
It's funny, the left claims, leftists are like, you know, Tim Pool actually voted for Trump in 2016, and he's lying.
And then the right's like, you know, Tim Pool didn't actually even vote for Trump in 2020.
I didn't vote for him in 2016.
I didn't vote.
And in 2020, I voted for Trump.
So here we are.
The corporate press that Donald Trump keeps entertaining is just relentlessly smearing him all day, and for whatever reason, he just keeps giving in.
Yeah, that's just, it's sad.
Donald Trump's gonna, I got this big announcement coming out.
I'm gonna, you know, we need a superhero, and then it's NFTs.
At this point, I have to wonder if Trump is just retiring.
He's saying, look, support Kevin McCarthy.
Why?
Because McCarthy probably said something like, if you back me, I will make your problems go away.
As Speaker, we're going to have committees.
We're going to shut down the January 6th stuff.
It's going to be done.
We're going to move on.
I think Trump is feeling the pressure.
He's got these potential criminal charges looming over, and it's all bunk BS, mind you.
But he's an old man.
I'm not saying that disrespectfully, I'm saying literally, he's an old man.
At some point, you just want to go play golf.
You know what I mean?
This is a tough job.
I was thinking about Jeremy Renner earlier.
It's a big story.
I feel bad for this Jeremy Renner.
He plays Hawkeye in the Marvel Universe.
He had a snowplow.
He was trying to help a family member who got stuck.
Apparently, I guess, he tried to move and then he tried jumping in.
It fell down, ran his leg over, lost a lot of blood.
I'm thinking about that, and I'm like, you know what I really envy?
Pop culture crisis.
The pop culture crisis crew.
Have you seen the show?
TimCast.com.
It's very much like TimCast IRL, but it's all just pop culture, and I'm like, that's the life right there.
Get away from the politics.
Get away from the power mongering.
Get away from the pandering.
Get away from the fear of the machine trying to crush you, and just talk about Brad Pitt.
He's got a new movie.
It's called Babylon with Margot Robbie.
Isn't that the life?
I am jealous.
Maybe, uh... And I gotta be honest, too.
Guys, if I just switched, started talking about comic books, movies, and stuff, I'd probably make way more money.
But that's not me.
I care about this stuff.
I care about what is shaping the world around us, and whether or not we will survive and become a space-faring species in the end.
You know, that's where it all leads to.

tim pool
See you on the tour.
That's what I really think.
I think Trump is retired.
I think he's a tired old man.
Again, I'm not saying it to be disrespectful.
I believe that he is just done.
This man's done a lot in his life.
Done a lot.
He's built a lot of things, put his name on a lot of places.
And I think in 2016, Donald Trump, he's an arrogant guy.
He's a confident guy.
And he's thinking, been there, done that.
Billionaire, real estate mogul, casinos, name on all these different buildings.
What more could a man strive for on this planet?
Man.
You ever play a video game?
You beat it, you're in the endgame, and then you're just like, why keep playing?
You know, it's like, a good game I think is Breath of the Wild or Skyrim, these open world games, because you can beat the main story but then keep playing.
And it's fun, and then you're eventually like, what more can I do?
Well, for Trump, I think he was like, I'm going to be president.
What else could I do?
And then he did.
He was president.
He did his thing.
And now he's not president.
And now he's probably sitting there going like, well, billionaire, celebrity, world famous.
My name is everywhere.
Everyone in the world knows who I am.
Then I was the president of the United States.
What now?
Nothing.
There's nothing.
That's it.
He's done.
So he's running, you know, I know he's running, but I just see it as, he's out, he's out.
It's retirement.
Just vote for Kevin McCarthy, guys, please.
Please make it all stop.
Please, I'm begging you.
No more.
I just want to play golf.
That's what I see with Trump.
As the media smears his most ardent allies and supporters, he comes out and goes against them.
Well, I shouldn't say that.
I mean, Marjorie Taylor Greene is in line with Trump.
What I see is many of these MAGA candidates, many of these Trump supporters, they probably realized they're going up against a machine and it hurts.
And it hurts bad.
But you take a look at these individuals.
You take a look at these 20 individuals.
Andy Biggs, Dan Bishop, Boebert, Michael Cloud, Clyde, Gates, Good, Gosar, Harris, Miller, Norman, Scott Perry, Rosendale, Chip Roy, Donalds, Breachan, Crane, Ogles, Paulina Luna, and Keith Self.
And these are people who are just like, I don't care for the establishment.
These are the next wave of what Trump had represented, in a sense.
Now, I get it.
It's a Freedom Caucus, guys.
A lot of people from the Freedom Caucus.
19 are associated with the Freedom Caucus.
That's hilarious.
The only one who's not his self.
And it's like, okay.
You know, so it's Freedom Caucus people.
And they're not necessarily Trump supporters, but mostly.
But I don't know if Trump really matters anymore.
I don't think Trump realizes a lot of these people were just like, we want a human Molotov cocktail in the machine.
I think Trump is feeling the pressure, Kevin McCarthy's part of the machine, and by backing Kevin McCarthy, the intelligence agencies and the machine are like, Trump will leave you alone if you fall in line.
And Trump was like, alright, alright, alright.
Because that's what I was saying.
Part of me is like, you know what would be a lot easier than constantly talking politics and trying to build a company?
Like, look man, I've said it before, the easiest thing for me Would be to just do one YouTube video per day, and I'd be making money.
No, for real.
Shut everything down, just do one, and then go skate, smell the flowers, go down to the river, and do a lot less work.
But that ain't me.
I'm not interested in that.
So let me relate this a little bit to myself and to what we see here.
Lauren Boebert, awesome.
I met her for the first time at Turning Point USA, and I was fairly neutral.
I was like, oh, she's cool.
You know, I didn't know anything about her.
Now I see her and Matt Gaetz standing up and saying no, and I'm like, I like these candidates.
These members of Congress.
I dig it.
Plus, the Freedom Caucus guys, I've always been a big fan of them for the most part.
I don't know every single person.
But, uh, they seem to be alright.
You know, I dig it.
I dig it.
And, uh, so good.
That's cool.
I relate to this.
You know what I mean?
I'm not here to go sit by the river and just float down with a beer in hand and be like, who cares?
I care about this stuff.
And it's not about Trump, and it never was for me.
And I think for these people, that's the same thing.
Trump can come out and say, vote McCarthy.
I don't think you're going to change these people's minds.
You got 20 people who are saying no to Kevin McCarthy, and you think Donald Trump's going to convince them?
I think, man, Some people just can't handle the heat.
And the machine is strong.
Lauren Boebert almost lost.
I think she won by only a couple hundred votes.
The machine is doing everything.
Look at Matt Gaetz.
They smeared him with lies, accusing him of, like, crazy, you know, like, hooking up with underage girls.
Like, just, the machine is desperate to try and stop these people.
Then it turns out the Gaetz family was actually being blackmailed.
Surprise, surprise.
Now, for a lot of these other people here, they're not as prominent or well-known.
The machine doesn't go after them as much.
And I'll tell you this, for us over at Timcast, I don't know what's going on.
We get swatted.
You know, what does Andrew Tate call it?
A matrix attack?
I don't know who's doing it for whatever reason.
But I don't think we're that big of a disruptor in the political space.
We're just moderate disruption.
To a certain sense.
But I know that it would be so much easier just to do something else.
You know?
Talk about celebrity stuff.
Don't get in the way of the machine or the establishment.
I'm not gonna do that, man.
I understand what Cernovich is saying about Kevin McCarthy, and I can respect it, and if in the end Kevin McCarthy becomes Speaker, and it may be the case, fine.
Whatever, man.
I'm just gonna tell you this.
I am an objector.
Okay?
I object.
I don't like these parties.
I don't like McCarthy.
He backstabs Trump, then Trump just falls down and says, please, please, let me be.
And then, where do we go from there?
What is the net gain for the American people?
A porous border?
Our jobs being shipped overseas?
That's why, you know, Lauren Boebert, and she's tweeting about this, she's like, we're supposed to secure the border, we're supposed to help this country.
If McCarthy wins, I tell you what you're going to see.
The Republican establishment are Democrats driving the speed limit.
Your border will be porous.
Your jobs will be shipped overseas.
But they will claim to support family values.
But oh, our hands are just tied!
If only!
We're fighting for you.
Note, these 20 candidates, 19 Freedom Caucus, These are the ones who are actually fighting for you.
Actually fighting for some change or something different.
unidentified
I think it's funny.
tim pool
You got these videos going around of Ocasio-Cortez talking to Matt Gaetz and I'm really interested to hear what they were saying to each other.
You know?
Because they're not like... It didn't seem acrimonious.
You've got Gosar laughing and talking with AOC.
When Nancy Pelosi was up for the speakership, AOC objected but then fell in line instantly.
And now what they're saying is... Let me show you this one.
Ron Filipkowski, Democrat guy, says, Because you're a cult, dude!
In the Democratic Party, our broad, diverse coalition that ranges from anarchists and
socialists to neocon former Republicans seems able to continuously come together and make
things happen.
Because you're a cult, dude!
You're a cult!
Glenn Greenwald says.
That's right.
That's because the neocon former Republicans and the Dem Party have all the power, along
with those whose main life talent is serving Wall Street big donors, Chuck Schumer and
Hakeem Jeffries, while these alleged anarchists and socialists keep quiet and do what they're
told.
That's right, AOC.
It's just bizarre to watch Dems and their media allies celebrate their dissent-free,
subservient, and obedience to leaders' unity.
Yes, congrats on choosing your leader by acclimation.
Someone who is the living, breathing embodiment of K Street sleaze without a peep of protest.
That's right.
Glenn says, there are few things I've seen in politics as pathetic and humiliating as the squad snapping into line behind Jeffries.
He's openly campaigned against them.
He's the embodiment of everything they claim to hate.
AOC said in 2018, removing him from Congress was her top priority.
You get it?
Going up against the machine hurts.
It is the path of resistance.
Man, you know, I don't think people understand.
You know, these lefties are like, Tim Poole's a grifter.
Grifter?
I should have stayed working for Disney!
Man, imagine, with my work ethic and political acumen, if I was like, I'd love to service the machine, let me drop to my knees, how much money you think I'd be getting paid?
They paid me a lot of money.
And I kept saying, no.
They were like, come on, Tim.
I told you, I've told this story several times.
They were like, why don't you just, you know, this is, our audience are young progressives.
Why don't you just side with the audience?
I'm like, side with the audience?
I'm just telling people what's going on.
We're here to tell the truth.
Not make things up.
Tried quitting.
Wake up one day to 40 grand.
I think it was 40 grand in my bank account.
After taxes, it was less.
But I'm like, what's this?
It's a lot of money.
I wonder why.
Hey, hey, take the money, man.
Take the money.
No, I'm not interested.
I'm not going to pretend to be as anti-establishment and as aggressive as even someone like Crowder.
It's probably why he's got five times the subscribers that we do.
But it would be so much easier to do what AOC did.
To just fall in line.
And Trump's giving you the out right here?
Oh, baby.
I could just be like, well, you know, Donald Trump is the guy.
I'm gonna get in line behind him and say, you know what?
He's right.
Kevin Mc— Nah, I ain't doing it.
I don't care, man.
Maybe the swattings will get worse.
Maybe they'll come.
Maybe they'll freeze our accounts.
Maybe they'll say, look, man.
We've taken hold of the insurgency in the Republican Party, the Freedom Caucus.
It's time to give up.
And I'll just be like, bro, I don't care.
I didn't care then.
I don't care now.
I don't like these people.
I think they are evil people.
If Donald Trump wants to line up with AOC behind the machine, I don't care!
I'll just come out and say that I don't like Donald Trump.
Do your thing.
Whatever, man.
The media is going to make you look like an oompa-loompa and then you're going to go give them interviews.
That's stupid.
That's stupid to me.
I'm not on anybody's side.
I'm on the side of what's true and what's true is this.
There is a reality that we don't know everything about the inner workings of the security state.
Most people know that.
It is true that the intelligence agencies probably do things to benefit American interests.
It is also true that the intelligence agencies serve to protect themselves.
Here's the challenge for me.
I don't want China to win.
I don't want Russia to win.
I don't like either of those countries.
I don't like Putin or Xi Jinping.
I think they're against us, and I think, obviously, if the U.S.
falters, our standard of living will drop dramatically.
The double-edged sword is, what can we do to preserve the standard of living in the United States while stopping the likes of Russia, China, etc.? ?
Well, you start to see a lot of the evil, right?
That's the thing.
People have mentioned that with Brazil voting out Bolsonaro, now getting Lula, BRICS is basically done.
Lula's gonna be pro-US, pro-NATO, pro-World Economic Forum.
Yeah.
Look, man, I want people's lives to get better.
But the whole thing, you will own nothing and you'll be happy, isn't about making people's lives better.
It's about making their lives worse.
The view that many of these elites have, you are stupid, you are livestock, and there's too many of you.
When AOC falls in line behind everything she claims to hate, when Donald Trump does the same, Now calling people to support a guy who blamed him for January 6th and accused him of being a Putin puppet.
They're giving in.
They're saying, I just don't want to resist anymore.
You will owe nothing and you will be happy.
I don't know where all this goes.
But the truth is, there are people who have a plan.
It's not everybody with the same plan.
I'm not saying there's a cabal and a unified globalist insurrection or something.
I'm saying, powerful corporations, they have plans.
Politicians, they have plans.
And there's a power structure.
The unseen power structure, but it is known.
AOC knows what it is.
Donald Trump knows what it is.
And it's hard to fight against.
And that power structure is amorphous and abstract.
Kevin McCarthy is getting the votes simply because he's who everyone expects to get the votes.
That's the confidence.
People are like, he's going to win.
I better not go against him.
Now that people are saying he can't win, it's time for you all to vote on principle.
I think Mike Cernovich is right.
Jim Jordan may not be the guy, but certainly you could vote for Biggs or some other Freedom Caucus guy.
I'm not going to sit here and pander to Trump supporters.
If Trump wants to bow out, so be it.
But I'm not interested in playing that game.
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.

All right, everybody, welcome back to the TimCast special live coverage of The Speaker Vote.
This is History in the Making, my friends.
For those that haven't been following the news, Kevin McCarthy has lost four times now.
For Speaker of the House.
Jeffries, the Democrats, he does not have enough votes because Democrats are not in the majority.
And right now, as I am beginning this second livestream, Byron Donalds already has three votes, as Lauren Boebert has just cast her vote for Donalds.
And previously, just a moment ago, before going live, called on McCarthy to yield.
Two more votes for Donalds, and McCarthy will have lost a fifth vote for Speaker of the House.
This has not happened since 1923, and as this is a major breaking and historical moment in the new Congress, there's a lot of implications for how things are going to be moving forward.
I'm going to be doing this live.
Now, let me make sure I get the captions going here.
We can see here, Donalds already has four votes.
And we are just at Buchanan.
That means by the time we get to the B last names in alphabetical order, we are already looking at Kevin McCarthy having lost.
Sorry.
With four votes already in, and we know Matt Gaetz is a no on McCarthy, McCarthy has already lost the fifth vote.
When will this stop?
All right.
Now, I just did an hour and a half live stream, but considering this is an ongoing breaking news story, I just... I'm gonna tell you guys...
There's nothing else to talk about.
I mean, this is the big breaking news, and there's a bunch of other stories I could bring up and a bunch of other context I can add to this, and I will in this stream as we are watching live as the vote goes down.
In terms of covering the big news and the big story, it's here, it's live, it's now, and I think it would be a disservice to just record it and upload it later, and it wouldn't be that effective for you.
Before we get started, as the vote is being cast and we can see that already Kevin McCarthy's lost that fifth vote.
He's got four votes for Donald.
Gates is a sure thing.
That's it.
McCarthy's lost number five.

Some changes coming into TimCast.
As I mentioned in the previous livestream, I may be switching this channel to a live morning show.
Not too dissimilar to TimCast IRL, but singularly hosted by me.
Not as much a conversation.
That way, I can free up time during the day, get all the segments done in a three-hour stretch of live shows, upload more segments than I normally do, get more content for you guys, and then have the rest of the day to expand the company and do other things.
Becoming a member at TimCast.com will get you access to our members-only shows.
Hopefully, we can even have a morning members-only show to increase the amount of content that we get out for you guys.
I think we can do that.
But in the meantime, we're gonna be covering this live.
We've got the stream pulled up.
From C-SPAN, we've got the active vote count right there for you, and I will stress it one more time.
With Donald's already having four votes, and only five votes needed off from McCarthy to... People don't like me saying defector, but that's what everyone's saying.
One more vote means McCarthy lost.
Now here's the funny thing.
You're not going to get it from C-SPAN.
I get it because they're, you know, they're just going through the numbers.
But right now we are at Chu, who is voting, I believe Chu is going to be, is that a Jeffries vote?
That's a Jeffries vote.
Cicilline.
Where are we going to see?
Cicilline's going for Jeffries.
Matt Gaetz, last name begins letter G, and that means Donald's already has five votes.
Kevin McCarthy has once again lost.
There's a lot we can go through to break down the context here, but there's a few things I want to say.
First, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends.
Welcome to our special live coverage.
I'm going to be talking with you guys, so you should super chat any questions, stories, context you want me to include.
And we're going to be covering this as it happens.
And I will have this stream up and running for about an hour.
And it will be a lot of talking I will be doing today.
But look, as we're sitting here and the clerk is going through the names, and with Cloud, We are about to see, I believe, we are about to see McCarthy lose.
Clyde?
Here it comes.
There it is.
Donalds.
Five.
Kevin McCarthy has lost for the fifth time.
In 1923, it took eight ballots before they finally conceded and gave in and a speaker was elected.
When will Kevin McCarthy bow out?
So, we're gonna be doing this live.
Shout out to Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
who said he really liked the live stream because it's like watching a sporting event, but it's politics.
Yeah, politics is my thing.
NFL is not my thing.
You know, maybe we can do something like that.
For those that are just tuning in, I just want to say that the plan is potentially starting next week to do a... just go live in the morning for a few hours with all the stories I normally have pulled up.
Do all of the segments in that live show with your assistance as people in the chat, because you guys can send me story ideas, ask me to talk about things specifically, and then I can actually pull those up.
So, you know, a lot of people say, doing a morning show is going to be really hard.
You know, it's going to be three, four, five hours maybe.
I'm like, I could go 9 a.m.
to 2 p.m.
I could just click live.
And people are like, ooh, that's going to be tough.
I'm like, nah, you know, because the people who are watching are going to be like, hey, check out this story that's just breaking.
I think it'll make it better.
So right now, Donald's with six votes.
We are in vote number five.
I covered vote number four over at YouTube.com slash TimCastNews.
And for those that missed it, morning show here at YouTube.com slash TimCast.
Segments to be uploaded over at YouTube.com slash TimCastNews would be the plan moving forward.
I think it sounds really fun.
The only thing I need right now is for the new studio to get set up, and that would make it the best thing ever.
But maybe I can get something set up for the time being in the IRL studio, which is actually bigger than people realize.
Now, as we are seeing this go through, I want to highlight... Let me just put it this way.
My plan in launching, in this segment, was going to be to pull up the commentary and context of what's happening, so we'll do that as the vote is currently ongoing.
Let me give a shout-out to Nancy Mace.
She says, Rep.
Matt Gaetz's full ego was on display today.
He's going to screw around and get another Pelosi-elected speaker.
I'll have a lot more to say about this political D-lister tomorrow.
Okay, I just want to point out, Nancy Mace, 91,700 followers, Matt Gaetz, 2 million!
Political D-lister!
Matt Gaetz is like at the top of the Republican Party in terms of notoriety, lady!
Look, I really respect Nancy Mace calling out these fake news, these lying activists.
Like Alejandro Caraballo.
But come on, Nancy Mace.
You ain't got nothing on Matt Gaetz.
Sorry.
There's some things I might like.
You know, in that instance, that's what you did.
But Matt Gaetz is standing firm against the machine in spite of Donald Trump coming out and saying to get behind Kevin McCarthy.
So you are seeing it here live right now, my friends.
Kevin McCarthy is already lost.
Vote No. 5.
There's your breaking news.
Happening in real time.
How about that?
Take a look at this.
Let me see if I can... Do I have the story pulled up?
Actually, maybe I don't.
I can pull up the prediction markets.
We're currently looking at here, right here, and you can see where my bet's at.
Currently, Kevin McCarthy... Let me refresh this, actually.
Over at Predicted, Steve Scalise is now predicted to win.
A lot of people on the right, Trump supporters, are concerned that Scalise will actually be worse than McCarthy.
Yeah, probably.
Jim Jordan is now down!
Oh, man, my bet was bad.
I bought in shares at Jim Jordan for $0.12.
He's now sitting at $0.06.
Lost half my money.
I don't care.
I put in $100 because I've never used this before.
I wanted to see how it would go.
But look at this.
Jim Jordan was at $0.12 yesterday because he was getting the votes.
Now it's gone to Byron Donalds, who got 20 votes.
And here's the big news.
Kevin McCarthy actually lost even more.
Donald's currently live now with seven votes.
McCarthy already lost.
Check this out.
This is crazy.
C-SPAN says, Rep McCarthy appears to not have the votes.
unidentified
Sixth speaker vote expected!
tim pool
Unless some Democrats defect and vote McCarthy, which I really don't see.
Apparently, there's some, like, reporting that Maxine Waters is trying to get people to vote for McCarthy to just get it over with or something like that.
We'll see.
We'll see how this plays out.
I don't see Republicans voting for a Democrat.
But then, that means Kevin McCarthy needs 17 Democrats to win, and the Democrats need, what do they have, with 212 votes?
They need 6.
If 6 Republicans defect and vote Jeffries, you will get a Democrat Speaker of the House.
I gotta tell you, my friends, as much as many of you are probably saying, that's gonna be a bad thing, and I agree, I just don't care.
Donald Trump's coming out and supporting Kevin McCarthy, a guy who called him a Putin puppet, a guy who claimed that he was responsible for January 6th, and I'm just like, I don't care for the machine.
I ain't gonna get behind him.
So here's what we'll do in this special live coverage.
Smash that like button, get your superchats in, and I will take comments from you guys as we do another, a second, livestream here.
So basically, at noon, I did a livestream over at youtube.com slash TimCastNews, and the reason was because they had begun this historic vote.
Yesterday, when I was watching the vote happen, it is what it is, you know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, speaker vote.
But then when Kevin McCarthy loses, it was historic.
So today, as we're entering now, we're going to be going into the sixth speaker vote with McCarthy failing.
We are in a historical moment 100 years from the day this happened last time.
Before that, there's Matt Gaetz.
Matt Gaetz says Donalds.
Eight votes for Donalds.
Before 1923, the only time we saw this happen was 1856, pre-Civil War, and took months before there was a Speaker of the House.
So this could get interesting.
It could be an indicator of Civil War.
I know, I know, a lot of people are saying, Civil War, Tim, come on, you can't be serious.
I know a lot of people say that.
But indicator, look, I think the conflict is here.
The Democrats are marching in lockstep.
Republicans aren't.
There is some instability.
It's not all bad, though.
This is democracy in action, right?
So I did a livestream at noon because this was historical, but I do want to still maintain, you know, I've got both channels.
I want to make sure I get something up on this channel.
Despite the fact it's not gonna be 4 p.m., this segment will be up.
You know, once I wrap this up, you'll still have something to listen to, for sure, for those that want to see it at 4 p.m.
But I think the plan's gonna be, maybe even starting next week, to do a morning show I'll just go live for several hours.
I'll just go live.
It's easier for me.
It really, really is.
It's more interactive.
I think it'll make more money for the business.
I think it will give us more viewership.
I think it'll grow the channels.
What we do is we do a live show starting at maybe 9 a.m.
into... I could go to 2 p.m.
I could go live as long as... But, you know, I figure I wrap up at 2 p.m.
I can go exercise and eat some lunch.
But then we break segments out of those several hours and then we put those up on youtube.com
slash Timcast just like we do with IRL but that will be solo live and it won't be conversational
like I do at night on Timcast IRL.
Maybe five hours a little bold.
Maybe we do nine to noon.
Some have suggested to do it noon to two so that we don't interfere with Steven Crowder, but then I miss my 10 a.m.
segment.
Maybe it's eight to ten, or maybe I just go.
Others have pointed out with Steven Crowder leaving The Blaze, there's no morning show at all, so we'll see what happens, but I'm thinking the Hasan Piker model.
Just go live in the morning and go live.
Hang out, pull segments when you pull segments.
And if you guys want to send me story ideas, then I can get even more segments than I normally would.
Because with your help, I got a decentralized newsroom with you guys.
We got 10 votes for Donald's, there it is.
We got Dapper McStache saying, did you grab a bite to eat before jumping straight into another live video, Tim?
Catch your breath with the rest of us, loljkman.
We love it.
Nope, no food.
I wrapped up at like 120 and then I started pulling stories and I'm looking around and I'm like, dude, this is history in the making.
Marjorie Taylor Greene has just voted for McCarthy.
History in the making.
Watching the sixth vote.
This is the fifth vote.
Already failed.
We're going to number six.
Gotta be live for this stuff, man.
Gotta be live for this history in the making.
Robert Walker says, Tim, is there any precedence for a Speaker in a majority-led House coming from the minority side?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Stone says, hey Tim, congratulations on your coffee shop's idea, taking it to the streets.
Respect.
My family had a coffee shop when I was a kid, so I kind of, you know, it's within, it's top of mind.
Top of mind.
Is that what Corinne Jean-Pierre said?
Top of mind.
And also, inspiration from coffee brand Coffee.
I'm like, he's selling this coffee stuff, I want to do a coffee shop.
I hit up Jeremy Hambly from The Quartering and said, can we get coffee?
The problem is, he's a small business, we're a small business, and in order to make a physical coffee location work, we need better margins than we were able to get with Jeremy.
No disrespect, I'm not trying to drag him or anything.
We're hoping that in the future, as he expands and we stabilize, Once we get to the point where we're generating a profit and we can switch over to Coffee Brand Coffee as our supplier, then we're expanding that parallel economy.
For the time being, in order to get a physical location, we had to buy a building.
Very expensive.
Very expensive.
To get a commercial building?
To buy it?
Expensive.
Install plumbing.
Costs a lot of money, so we gotta cut costs.
And we're not sacrificing quality.
It's just, we're going with a more established roaster as our supplier, and because they're so large, they can do lower rates.
But I'm more interested in working with Jeremy Hambly.
So again, become a member at TimCast.com.
Support our work directly if you want to see this.
We are watching the live, special coverage of the House Speaker Vote.
History in the making.
I'll be honest with you guys, I do not often care about this kind of stuff.
To watch the speaker vote live?
I'd rather talk about, I got a bunch of news stories.
Seattle PD in decline, and we can talk about this in this special segment, but I want to make sure we keep this live coverage up.
But this is huge.
When Kevin McCarthy lost, something crazy could happen.
Lauren Boebert, just before this fifth roll call vote, stood up and said, it's time for McCarthy to yield.
Something to that effect.
And boy, are people not too happy with it.
But, she's right.
The people voting for Donalds are voting on ideology, conviction, and principle.
The people voting for McCarthy are voting out of fear.
Anyone, anyone would agree.
That Donald's would be a better Speaker of the House than McCarthy.
But McCarthy is feared as party leadership.
At this point, considering we are going on to the sixth vote, it is time for the McCarthy faction to just recognize Donald's is the best choice.
You'll win instantly if all of you just vote for Donald's.
That's it.
Think about how hilarious it would be if all McCarthy votes are like, fine, Donald's, we'll vote Donald's.
And then they're like, no, no, we vote McCarthy now.
No, Donald's will win.
Donald's will win, you'll get someone better than Jeffries, you'll get someone better than anyone else.
Now, just a moment ago, or I'll say this, yesterday, McCarthy started by losing, I think, what was it, like 19 people voted, it was votes for Zeldin, vote for Biggs, votes for Scalise.
And then, Jim Jordan was nominated.
In the second vote, Jordan gets 19.
In the third vote, Jordan gets 20.
In the fourth vote, which we just saw, it was, uh, uh, who was it?
It was, uh, I'm forgetting her name.
Uh, Spatz?
Am I saying it wrong?
Uh, but a President.
Just, President.
That's a Republican from Indiana.
So McCarthy ends up with only 201 votes, actually doing worse This is the fifth vote, and with Donald having 11, McCarthy has already lost again.
I want to give a round of applause to Boebert Gates, to the Freedom Caucus for standing up to McCarthy.
These McCarthy voters are just scared.
I ain't playing it.
I'm not interested.
So let me tell you.
We'll throw it to our good friend Michael Malice here.
He has a couple of polls that we'll pull up and just, you know, pull up his Twitter as we're waiting for this live coverage.
Which of these outcomes would you prefer?
Members of Congress get their act together and settle on a speaker, or two, members of Congress get their canes together and beat each other into comas?
Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and say, oh come on!
No, I don't want any violence.
I want them to settle on a speaker.
On Donalds.
On someone who's actually going to get investigations.
I'm not like Luke.
Luke Rudkowski last night said that he prefers the obstruction.
Okay, I'll take it.
You know, there was a... I can't remember who tweeted it.
They were just like, America loses if we don't have a speaker.
And I'm like, loses?
Nothing's getting done?
It ain't all bad.
It ain't all bad.
Michael Mao's had a poll that I wanted to show.
Here you go.
He says, Will Kevin McCarthy try to cut a deal with Democrats to become Speaker?
84.6% said yes.
I voted yes.
He says, Which of these two messages below do you approve of more, Gaetz or Trump?
83.7% said Gaetz.
Check this out.
He then shows Donald Trump saying vote McCarthy and Matt Gaetz saying McCarthy is a squatter.
I said it in the noon livestream special coverage.
I'll say it here.
Donald Trump is a symptom, not the cause of.
Donald Trump did not create MAGA.
MAGA existed, but he did help brand that MAGA phrase.
People were sick and tired of what they were seeing.
They wanted change.
They wanted real change.
They wanted stronger borders.
They wanted jobs to stay in this country.
They wanted no more wars.
And Trump Was a symptom.
Trump stood up and said, OK.
So they voted for him.
For Donald Trump to come out now and vote for McCarthy?
Sorry, that ain't it.
That just ain't it.
People like Gates are not going to march behind Donald Trump because Donald Trump is supporting the establishment.
Matt Gaetz is gonna come out and be like, no, not interested.
And I think Michael Mao's poll hits the nail on the head.
I'll tell you what else.
I went over to our good friends Patriots.win.
You guys familiar with this?
Formerly the Donald, Patriots.win is like the biggest forum for Donald Trump supporters.
Someone posted that Donald Trump was calling on people to support McCarthy.
They posted his truth social.
I opened up the comments.
The top comment said, no.
Below it was a quote from Michael Malice saying that conservatives are progressives going the speed limit.
And I'm like, you got Trump supporters quoting anarchist Michael Malice because they are fed up with the machine with the establishment.
That's amazing.
They are so fed up, they are telling Donald Trump no.
Look, Donald Trump banned bump stocks.
Donald Trump is not hardcore pro-life.
A lot of his supporters say no to Trump.
And I'll tell you this, the Democrats are a cult.
They march in lockstep, even AOC behind Jeffries, despite the fact she was criticizing him when she first got elected.
She criticizes Pelosi, and then she votes for Pelosi.
There's Luna voting for Donald.
Donald's now 12 votes.
AOC and the squad got behind everything they claimed to be against.
On the Republican side, they're saying no.
They're rejecting it.
And Trump supporters, get this, they will say no to Donald Trump, they booed him at his own rally when he shouted out the vaccine, because it's not a cult.
Trump does have cult-like supporters, don't get me wrong.
My favorite thing about the Patriots.win website is when they post TimCast IRL shows like, Tim is hosting Thomas Massey or Marjorie Taylor Greene.
And then they'll be like, Tim's a cock.
We don't like him, but they will watch the show.
And then they even shouted out this comment.
They were like, haha, Tim Pool mentions how we're smarter than the left or we're better than the left because we're willing to listen to what he has to say despite not liking him.
And I'm like, yes!
Like, that's the thing!
Yo, I love going to patriots.win and seeing the diehard Trump supporters insult me.
Yo, that means they're watching content they disagree with.
They're trying to hear things from the other side to understand what moderates and leftists and conservatives are saying.
You're gonna have a more informed base.
So, when Donald Trump comes out and yells, vaccine, and they yell, boo, no, that shows you it ain't a cult.
Trump does not control this.
These are people who have chosen for themselves.
May not be right, may not be wrong, but they're more independently minded.
We are here watching live, ladies and gentlemen.
This is good fun.
Live coverage of the House Speaker Vote.
Donald's with 12 votes means Kevin McCarthy is already lost.
Good fun, good fun.
While we wait for more votes to come in, let's grab some more news so I can help you all understand what's happening.
Check this out from Gallup.
This was originally going to be the centerpiece of my 4 p.m.
segment.
January 3rd.
Americans largely pessimistic about U.S.
prospects in 2023.
Take a look at this.
Coming off of several challenging years, Americans enter 2023 with a mostly gloomy outlook for the U.S.
as majorities predict negative conditions in 12 of 13 economic, political, societal, and international arenas.
When offered opposing outcomes on each issue, about 8 in 10 U.S.
adults think 2023 will be a year of economic difficulty with higher rather than lower taxes and a growing rather than shrinking budget deficit.
More than 6 in 10 think prices will rise at a high rate, and the stock market will fall in the year ahead.
I'm going to pause there and say, plan accordingly, my friends, the stock market.
When people are telling you they think the market's going to fall, they're going to pull their investments out.
There's been some indicators that foreign markets are going to falter, and Japan and other countries are going to rush to the U.S.
dollar, strengthening the dollar, but also causing U.S.
stock prices to fall.
They say, on the domestic front, 90% of Americans expect 2023 will be a year of political conflict.
Now, what does that mean?
72% think the crime rate will rise.
56% predict there will be many strikes by labor unions.
85% of US adults predict the year will be fraught with international discord.
What does political conflict mean?
I don't know.
Does that mean violence?
I don't know.
Going back to that live C-SPAN, we got Donald's at 13.
Donald's at 13.
We want to stay with this one.
So guys, smash that like button, get those superchats in, and we'll start reading comments from you guys just in a second.
So if you have any stories.
Some people are saying that my voice is out of sync.
Audio is out of sync.
Oh, man.
Uh, that's not on my end.
My, uh... Maybe, I don't know.
If the, uh, if the audio is out of sync, I can't do anything about it.
On my end, I'm looking at my Streamlabs, and everything is operating normally.
So, I can only assume this is on YouTube's end.
Not sure if I can do anything about it.
Sorry, guys.
No, seriously, not sure if I can do anything about it.
Your stream glitched.
Audio, video, out of sync.
How badly?
How badly?
What can I... I don't know what I can do to fix it, because on my end, I'm looking at my stream labs and everything's fine.
Let's read some superchats.
I'm seeing people say audio out of sync.
I have no idea how to change that.
Uh, I'm looking at my input, my video output.
I'm monitoring the stream, and it's normal on my end, so this has got to be YouTube.
There you go.
People are saying, refresh.
Out of sync.
It's on our end, lol.
No, I think it's YouTube.
Out of sync guy.
.25 seconds off.
Hey, YouTube!
There you go.
People are saying restart the stream.
It's pretty bad.
Two seconds.
About a second delay.
Only like one second.
Two to three second delay.
Make sure you refresh and are at the correct time.
No sync!
Well, here's what you can do.
You can, uh, listen, I guess.
And we'll get to talking about the news, I suppose, and I'll grab from you guys- Where was I at?
I want to talk about political conflict.
I apologize for the delay.
I think it's YouTube's end.
I'm sorry, I don't think there's anything I can do to fix it other than stopping the stream and starting it up again, which just I don't think would work properly.
Someone says it's a YouTube thing that happens all the time.
Sorry, guys.
Sorry, guys.
Someone says it's YouTube.
It's happening on other streams, too.
C'est la vie.
Political conflict.
90% of people believe we're going to see political conflict.
Right now, we're looking at C-SPAN, with 15 votes for Donalds, meaning Kevin McCarthy has lost.
I know I'm saying it a lot, but this is historic, and it's what we're here to cover.
Is that what people mean by political conflict?
That's the question right there.
If it is, well then, okay.
It is what it is.
I'm not too worried about it.
But Michael Malice just did a poll about people caning each other in Congress.
I get it.
It's funny, but I certainly hope we don't get to that point.
16 votes now for Donalds.
Maybe we will see 21 or more in the fifth speaker vote as we move into the sixth.
I'm worried that when people are asked, do you think there will be political conflict, I think most people are thinking violence.
When you ask me, I could give it the benefit of the doubt.
And say, most people are just talking about, you know, arguments.
That's not political conflict.
That's politics.
Okay, understand.
When people are asked, do you think there'll be political conflict?
If the context is supposed to be, will people argue in Congress?
That's literally all they do.
So what does conflict mean?
I think it means... I think it means violence.
I think it means violence.
That's what I'm worried about.
I hope it doesn't.
I'm gonna give a shout-out to Matt Gaetz.
Big fan.
Over at Fox News, Matt Gaetz responds after Trump urges McCarthy support, saying, sad.
Absolutely brilliant.
Dude, I like this Matt Gaetz guy.
Sad.
Very, very good.
That's it.
He said, sad.
Gaetz said in a Wednesday statement, this changes neither my view of McCarthy nor Trump nor my vote.
Look man, the left wants to come out and they're laughing.
There was a post I commented on the other day where they said that they said the right is so authoritarian that these Freedom Caucus people are demanding their way or the highway they can't negotiate and the Democrats who believe in democracy are working together because they've compromised and it's like so you're telling me is that dissenting is authoritarian and marching in lockstep with the corporate uniparty establishment is anti-authoritarian?
Yo, spare me, dude.
Not interested.
Donald's now with 17 votes.
We may be headed towards 21 votes for Donald's.
We will see.
unidentified
All right, let me see.
tim pool
We got Barton Bella says, No, Tim.
Read Matt Gaetz's tweet about McCarthy text messages.
McCarthy text messages?
GOP Gamer says, Just pretend that you're doing a voiceover in an old Godzilla movie.
Problem solved.
Someone says, your camera went black for a second, audio delayed afterwards.
That is on YouTube's end, not on mine.
I've got my monitor up right here, right below me.
I have a monitor screen.
My output is going perfectly fine.
I can see it.
Everything's normal.
If the YouTube video lagged, that was on the YouTube end.
Donald's now with 18 votes.
Let's see what we get.
Someone says to pull up Matt Gaetz.
Do I have Matt Gaetz on Twitter here?
They don't have him on here.
We got Michael Malice.
Where's he got?
Does he shout out Matt Gaetz?
He just says Gaetz.
He doesn't actually link to Gaetz.
Let's do this.
We're going to play a game of GOP leader McCarthy.
GOP leader.
Let's go see.
GOP leader McCarthy.
He's not going to mention Matt Gaetz.
I don't think he'll tweet at him at all.
Nope.
Not going to happen.
I didn't think so.
We'll go back to Michael Malice here.
And he says, Who do we got?
The best thing one can reasonably hope to gain from Congress is the public personal
humiliation of its members and especially its leaders like GOP leader here.
Here.
unidentified
Good, sir.
tim pool
I agree.
Who do we got?
Josh Hammer, Monica Crowley.
I'm trying to see if we can play a game of the six degrees of Kevin Bacon to make our
way to Matt Gaetz's tweets.
I don't think it's going to happen.
Let's see.
What do we got here on the right?
Fauci files.
Let's see.
Kevin McCarthy's trending.
I wonder if there's going to be something really nasty in here.
Laura Loomer says Kevin McCarthy is getting his karma back with interest.
unidentified
I dig it.
tim pool
Laura Loomer's been ragging on McCarthy.
I'm here for it.
I'm here for it.
Emerald Robinson tweeted, Here, here.
I like Andy Biggs.
I like the Freedom Caucus.
I dig it, man.
I like this Matt Gaetz guy.
Here we go.
when Rep Andy Biggs told the world that McCarthy was not trustworthy.
Hear, hear. I like Andy Biggs. I like the Freedom Caucus.
Kevin is now 0 and 4. His opposition has grown in just two days.
Country over ego. It's time for him to hang up the cleats and let the House
move forward without him at the helm.
I dig it, man. I like this Matt Gaetz guy. Here we go. We got Matt Gaetz.
The Speaker of the House Office in the Capitol is currently being occupied by Kevin
McCarthy.
He wrote this letter.
It was amazing.
Now, here's Matt Gaetz with 2 million followers.
Oh, I could have pulled up the Nancy Mays thing where she tweeted at him.
Someone said that he's got text messages about McCarthy or something.
Let's see if we can find that.
I don't know if I know where that's at.
I don't know.
People should believe Gaetz.
Asked about Matt Gaetz saying Kevin McCarthy can't get 218 votes to become Speaker, McCarthy told me, do you believe Gaetz or do you believe me?
That was December 13th.
And Gaetz was right.
Bravo, man.
We are now looking at 19 votes for Donalds as they are going into Spartz.
All right.
Spartz.
What does Spartz vote?
What do we got?
Can we turn?
Spartz didn't say anything?
Is that what happened?
unidentified
Did Spartz not vote?
tim pool
I guess not?
Did Spartz not vote, it looks like?
Or is that voting present?
I'm not sure.
It wasn't Spartz the one who voted present last time?
I could be wrong.
You guys correct me in the chat.
Corrick Gaming said, one of his guys got a text saying McCarthy is ready to fund an endless war.
Whoa!
Very, very interesting.
Let me see if I can What do we got?
Let's see.
It's the Matrix coming after Tim?
Is that because of the weird delay?
Apparently our people are saying the delay is actually happening on other streams as well.
Machete-ish Record says McCarthy received FTX donations.
Let's do this.
As we're waiting for this to come in, we'll grab your guys' superchats.
Ryan Brown says, I want to see an interview with Marjorie Taylor Greene on why they chose to vote McCarthy.
I want to know if they is on something no one has considered as to why.
Look, Marjorie Taylor Greene's for Trump.
Trump's for McCarthy.
Trump had a meeting with McCarthy.
They decided to work together.
I think that's a simple way to explain it.
So Marjorie Taylor Greene says she's got Trump's back.
That's where she's going.
Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz, the Freedom Caucus guys, they're not here about Donald Trump.
I dig it.
So we'll see.
Donald's with 19 votes.
McCarthy can't win.
We'll see where this goes.
We'll grab your Super Chats.
So comment, let me know what you guys think.
And we'll see what we got.
David H says, Tim Pool, I just refreshed and you still have a delay, not on my end.
No, it's YouTube.
YouTube glitched.
And the video feed, it's supposed to auto-sync and it didn't.
On my end, my feed, I'm looking at right here, is going out.
There's nothing I can do.
Bummer.
Alright, let's grab some Super Chats.
Noah Sanders says, back-to-back live stream champ!
It's a special day, my friends.
And then we're gonna have another live stream up tonight at 8 p.m.
over at youtube.com slash TimCastIRL.
Kevin Grip says, never McCarthy.
Never McCarthy.
Steven A. says, this is so entertaining.
McCarthy's ego must be withering.
Beautiful.
Commissar Hybrid says, Tim, when you play strip poker, how long until the beanie comes off?
Beanie comes off last, baby!
Last thing to come off.
Side note, Elon Musk for speaker, here, here.
Now, maybe the beanie comes off, like, third?
Second?
I don't know.
Before the shirt.
Because then, you take the shirt off, the hat comes off, you know?
Alexander Pokrant says, Tim, if McCarthy loses speakership, can we get a no-beanie reveal for IRL tonight?
He already did!
What do you mean?
He lost five times!
Five times.
Let's grab, uh, Justin Bell says, I think Hannah Clare would be awesome to co-host and to fill in for Morning Lives when you were away.
I think it would be a good duo.
That could work.
We have, uh, I'm really excited for the new studio that's being built.
It's, uh, it's gonna be amazing, and we're gonna have so many, so many, uh, so much more opportunity and ability to do things.
Stone says, uh, oh, I think I read that one.
Congratulations on your copy shop idea, taking it to the streets.
That's right.
Some people are saying that they're not seeing lag.
Some people are getting lag.
It's just YouTube, man.
I'm sorry.
They thought that Trump was the river, but he was the dam.
That's right.
Freddie Curiel says, I don't have a lag.
Some people are saying that they're not seeing lag.
Some people are getting lag.
It's just YouTube, man.
I'm sorry. I don't know what to say.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, says, is this a new one?
Again, a new livestream for a new vote!
At noon they started up their vote, we went live, and then once they got ready to do the next vote, and I'm looking at all the news, I'm like, this is the news, ladies and gentlemen!
So we pulled up a second livestream over at youtube.com slash timcast, and maybe starting next week we're gonna have a restructured show.
Just because, I gotta be honest, it's boring.
Just doing the same thing every day, getting up, reading.
I'd rather do a live show, because live is fun.
You guys interacting is fun.
Me talking to chat is fun.
With Timcast IRL, it's mostly me talking to the guests, not really interacting in the chat.
I think it would be fun to do a show where it's, I still get my segments out, the solo segments, but I also talk to you guys.
Some people are saying super lag.
And it would be cool, what we can do is, we need a producer for it.
And then we also have second chair, which could be Hannah Clare.
If she's interested, I'll talk to her about it.
But not so much that Hannah Clare would be hosting segments with me, but that she'd be hanging out for the live stream.
So there would be some additional conversation.
But what I would want to do is still record segments.
So as I mentioned this previously, I got this story right here.
Where did it go?
Oh yeah, here we go.
Elderly man has ear and part of face chewed off.
That would be a fun 10-minute thing to rant on.
So I think we'll get started next week.
I think it'll be fun.
Something new for the new year.
A new format, new show, new interactivity, new content, new revenue streams, more time to work on new projects, get that coffee shop going free up the day, and we'll just roll with it.
If I do a live stream from 9am to noon, that's 3 hours of content.
Right now, between these 3 segments I normally do, I'm getting an hour and 15 minutes.
A 3 hour morning show will give me like 5, 6, 7 segments to put up.
More segments, more solo segments.
I think it's a good idea.
And then what happens is when you guys are chatting, you could be like, yo, Tim, did you see this story?
And we could just be hanging out and talking, and I'll pull up Post Malone, I'll be reading articles.
Shout out to Hasan Piker, it's kind of his model, and, you know, he's pretty good.
I don't agree with his opinions, but his format, I think, is really good.
The interactivity is better.
Way better.
Plus, it'll mean I'm live longer.
Just, I think it's gonna be way more fun.
Prototype says, quote, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop.
Interesting.
Bring the Smoke says, Tim, I want to be a part of the change in culture.
Please check me out.
Doing a cooking barbecue show with Tim Kast would be a great culture show.
I'm willing to come to you for a test run.
So, here's where we're at.
Excuse me.
We got Pop Culture Crisis, Sales from the Inverted World.
We're going to be launching a new live show with Shane Cashman that focuses on Weird, Wild, etc.
Shane's also going to be doing more profiles on high-profile individuals.
All of these shows are making money.
But not enough.
Cast Castle is one of our more profitable shows.
If you watch Cast Castle, the vlogs that go up once a week, we're getting back into the swing of things.
I'll see where we're at.
I want to do some short films and some movies.
But a lot of people have reached out and said they've only subscribed to TimCast.com because of Cast Castle.
Some have said only for a TimCast IRL, uncensored segments.
Some only a decent amount of people signed up for Tales from the Inverted World.
So we got to get those shows up and running.
But a new skate show is about to launch.
I posted a photo on Instagram of the new building.
We got a lot of cool stuff happening.
So I'm really excited for this.
All right, let's read some more Super Chats as we're watching this.
Donald's now with 20 votes.
McCarthy at 196.
Jeffrey's at 208.
Chris Burtman says, McCarthy can't stop kicking his own butt.
Shout out, Chris.
He's a writer over at TimCast.com.
Once we get the new studio set up, we could even have writers hanging out in studio.
That would be really, really cool.
And then I'd do my thing, and then writers can chime in and be like, yo, we got a story.
That'd be fun.
Curtis B says, I watch and love all the work y'all do.
You're an animal!
Haha.
New morning show name idea.
Cringy, but kind of funny.
The morning swim in Tim's pool.
Haha.
I don't know, I think it would just be like Tim Pool Daily Show.
Because that's what we have on the podcast already.
Then we put up a three-hour morning podcast.
We put up a two-hour nightly podcast.
I think that would make me the... I think I would be producing more time than any other... I think, like, Glenn Beck does, like, four hours and Ben Shapiro does, like, four hours.
I do a morning show and a night show.
Uh-oh, did it freeze?
Oh, it just looked frozen because nobody's moving.
Here we go.
Let's get some more.
Lisandrin says, Tim, we need to start calling them McCarthy supporters, the Yellow Caucus.
Hear, hear.
Pelosi votes for Jeffries.
Are we seriously only at Presley votes for Jeffries?
Are we only in the P's and we're already at 20 votes for Donalds?
It's crazy.
Garhunt says, for the dissent Republicans to get their message across, they should bring sleeping bags, pillows, cots, and a large tablet and pee bottles.
They should get a poker table.
To start playing some games.
That'd be fun.
No real buy-in.
Just a gentleman's game.
No actual money.
You know?
Here we are.
Jay asks, I have a shopping center in Virginia Beach.
I'd love to work with you and Jeremy.
I also own an amazing corner that brings in a lot of traffic.
My name is Jack Scotch.
Shotch?
Shock?
Shotch?
How do you pronounce that?
Wojtek says, audio video out of sync.
Yep, yep.
That's a YouTube thing, man.
I don't think there's anything I can do about that.
Again, I will say sorry.
Let's grab some more Super Chats.
Chris Scott says, Tim, I always watch your solo shows and IRL Uncensored show.
Will catch IRL depending on the guests, but I enjoy catching IRL clips.
Day shows are great for my work day.
Home Life too busy for IRL Live.
Hear, hear.
IRL Live is consistently the biggest show.
We average like 450k per episode, and that's off-season.
Now we're entering the political primary season, so our views are probably going to go up.
We were doing about a half million per episode in 2020.
It was crazy.
I think... If I do a video on this channel, it gets like 200 to 300, depending.
If I do on the TimCast News channel, it's usually around 200,000, sometimes a little less.
We're in the off-season.
It's January.
Things are a little slow.
They'll pick up in the next month or so.
But IRL, the full episodes typically get the most traffic of any singular thing.
And then the clips get another million views.
I'm thinking...
Oh, there we go.
There's one present vote.
Was that Spartz again?
Spartz votes present!
Amazing.
There it is.
Kevin McCarthy has lost.
Again.
History in the making, my friends.
If we do a morning show, I'm just so ready for something new, to be completely honest.
And live is so much more fun.
With IRL, I don't get to interact so much with the audience.
Here's what I'm saying.
I go live at 9am.
I ask you guys, what's the big story you guys are seeing?
I pull up my stories.
Then, once I have my stories lined up, I just write, go into it, hit the timer button like I do, and be like, alright, here's the big story.
Then I cut back to you guys.
What's up?
What are you seeing?
I'm like, oh, we got a story about a guy getting his face eaten off.
I record that.
Then I get like five or six solo segments.
They'll all go up from like 1 to 6 p.m.
Way more segments for everybody.
Easier, more fun.
I think it's the right move.
I really, really do.
We can do it in the Timcast IRL studio, but that studio is set up at a big table where everyone sits in front of each other.
So I think what we need is to get set up with a new studio at Freedomistan, which we have in the works, and we can, uh, it'll be a lot better.
But I think we'll just do it starting next week.
I'll just, I'm just gonna go for it.
I think it'll be, it'll be more fun, easier, as I already said.
Alright, Patriot says, you aren't interacting with us though.
You are interacting with people who give you money.
That's not true.
I'm actually reading some of the general comments as well.
But yes, it is mostly the superchats.
Why?
Well, look.
It funds the livestream.
It pays me to do the work.
It's easier to sort through because the superchats are static and don't move.
And the chat is constantly flying, but I do try to see some of them.
Right?
Finalt says, don't burn yourself out.
No, no, no.
This is the thing.
My morning show now is harder to do.
I'm sitting here from 8 a.m.
until 3 p.m.
sourcing all of this news and trying to put together these segments.
And then recording it all, it would actually be more fun, easier on me, to just do a three-hour morning show.
You get the segments anyway.
And then I can read the superchats.
Capitalism, baby!
That's how it works.
You pay for a product.
I can't even read every single superchat.
I'm really excited for what we're seeing with this historical news, too.
Alright, let's see.
Phil B. says, maybe you should bring Crowder to his own show on Timcast.
I think the mashup between you and him in the same place would be great.
Here's the thing.
Crowder would get hundreds of thousands of paying monthly members.
And then, the challenge with any of these networks, right?
I've talked to a bunch of companies, they wanted to buy out TimCast or sign us and things like that.
And I'm always just like, no, no, no, there's no reason.
There were a bunch of creators.
Creators, personalities, commentators, whatever.
And I'm like, it would be so cool if they worked for me because I'd make money.
But they can make their own money doing their own thing.
What's the point?
Why would Crowder need to be part of Timcast?
Crowder's already got a massive fan base bigger than mine.
He just launches his own thing and he makes more money than we do.
Then he just hires the people to do it for him.
If anything, Crowder's more likely to come to me and be like, come to my network.
And then of course I'd be like, dude, we do alright here at Timcast.
Chubbs is farm and says Tim the reason I love your content because you fact-check.
How are you gonna do that live?
I Literally if I if I produce an hour and 15 minutes of segments, but I'm streaming live for three hours I can literally fact-check that that's the point and Yo, my fact-checking will be better if I say something and I'm like, what is it?
JS says Shuck is pronounced shuck.
S-C-H-O-C-H.
There you go.
Like oyster shucker.
I'll send you a DM on Insta.
There you go.
So, how will I do it live?
Better.
There was a story that I talked about yesterday, or two days ago, that Biden was ordered to hand over communications because Conservative Brief reported it on the 2nd, and I was like, whoa, that's big, and I read it.
Then Luke, later that night, was like, hey, that's actually from July, and I went, what?
They reposted a six-months-old?
I was pissed.
If I was live and y'all were in the crowd, that's decentralized fact-checking.
We would be more correct!
I think that would be fantastic.
And then, get this, the end of the segments can be, let's wrap up this segment on the guy getting his face chewed off and grab some comments and fact-checks.
That would be awesome.
I just think it would be more fun.
I like the chat.
I think the chat is good.
Someone says we need bad lip-reading on this.
I saw that.
It was really great.
Bad lip-reading on Congress.
But I gotta be honest.
I'm really excited for something new.
John Carroll says, Tim, you already talk too much.
I know!
Isn't it weird?
I just talk non-stop and people give me money.
Geez.
Sometimes I just want to lift a box, move some heavy rocks and get sweaty, but people will tune in for me to hear the talking.
And I'm eternally grateful that that is a reality.
Fledge Bigum says, live show sounds interesting.
Crowdsourcing stories is a fun dynamic.
A few other streamers I listen to do it.
Interactivity is a winning strategy.
I started all of this live streaming and then moved into segments and then started streaming again with Timcast IRL.
And Timcast IRL is bigger and makes way more money than my morning show.
But I don't want to stop the morning show because a lot of people like it more.
But get this, Timcast IRL gains like Sometimes between 20,000 and 100,000 subscribers per month.
If we have a big month, we see a big bump, but those are few and far between.
We've been averaging, I think, like 15,000 to 20,000 new subscribers.
But the Tim Pool Channel, TimCast, and TimCast News have been somewhat stagnant, gaining maybe like 3,000 to 5,000, and the TimCast News Channel even losing a little bit.
So maybe what makes sense is It's time to change the format.
I started this stuff like six years ago.
Maybe it makes sense that six years ago style content isn't, you just can't keep doing the same thing.
When I used to, you know, four years ago, I was getting half a million views per segment on this channel.
Now it's like 200 to 300.
Sure, some might say, oh, it's because you suck now or whatever.
No, I think it's because people have started watching more live streams and longer form podcasts because TimCast IRL is way bigger.
And our show is getting more views.
Our biggest month was, I think, it might have been December, actually.
The biggest month we ever had was this year, a midterm of all years.
You'd think 2020 would have been the biggest.
It wasn't.
What I see is a live morning show, allows me to interact better, be faster with breaking news, produce segments for the rest of the day, gives people in the morning something to listen to immediately, And then opens up the middle of my day.
I think it'll be way more fun.
Yo, I'm so excited for this new studio, to be completely honest.
I'm just- I'm just ready for it.
That's another reason I'm doing this live.
I'm just like... It's- it's- it's tiring to be like, what's the story?
What's the story?
And then pulling up segments and then doing the same thing.
It's time for change.
Otherwise, I just get bored and say no morning show at all.
Here we go.
Shakenbake says if there's no change, then there will be no change.
That's right.
I got some ideas.
I'd like to do it similarly to this.
You know?
Maybe get a live producer.
Someone who can then cut the clips out.
Set the timer for the clips.
That's what we do for IRL.
I think that's a winning strategy.
I really do.
We're gonna see where things are gonna go.
I have a feeling they're gonna try to adjourn again because a 6th vote?
Maybe they'll do a 6th vote and it'll fail again.
Alright, Sean says, I don't watch you for the news, I watch you for your take on the news.
Tim Pool newsroom as it's happening sounds rad.
Would be super cool, plus we'll have the journalists, the TimCast news team, we'll have a few people come in and out, and they'll be working on news in real time, and you can watch me shout out to them, be like, yo guys, you see this story?
I'll be surfing Twitter, I'll be, like imagine this, everything I already do, I could just live stream.
As I'm sitting here and I'm reading tweets and I'm laughing at tweets and I'm pulling stories and organizing these things, y'all can just be live with me.
Why not?
Why not?
MB says, Tim, love the AM live show idea.
There is no trustworthy news at 9am.
Can't wait for this.
Maybe first thing Monday.
I say, why not?
I say, I'm gonna go up there and tell the crew and be like, let's do it!
And I'll get started in the IRL newsroom.
And I think it'll be a lot of fun.
I think it'll be a lot of fun.
Alright, TheRabbiX says, Tim, watch all your stuff.
Surprise, you didn't cover KCF Germany advertising a month ago.
Celebrate the years.
Crystal knocked with our new cheesy bites.
It was probably a kid who doesn't know history.
I remember that.
Yowza, man.
I remember that.
Centurion says, when will we get the promised D&D show?
Will you be a player and who will DM?
We did try setting it up.
It's hard.
The dungeon master for Dungeons & Dragons show needs to be really good.
They need to be a charismatic on-camera personality and a good DM.
Hard to do.
Hard to do.
Here's a regular old chat I'll read.
Let's see.
Jeff Jackson says, how is it with 1 million viewers he has only 4k likes?
I don't have a million viewers.
I have 18,000 concurrent viewers.
That's not a million.
4,000 likes?
It's because a lot of people don't press the like button.
It's just a reality.
With a million subscribers, I get around 20-30% of my subscriber base as viewers.
That's really, really, really high.
You don't think every 1.3 million is going to watch every single video I do.
They watch like four to six per week on this channel, and then they watch other shows as well.
This is the challenge of having three channels and producing something like 15 clips per day or something ridiculous.
No, I think we do like seven or eight clips per day.
The average person can't watch five hours of content every day.
Two live shows, though?
That can be done.
And it would be cool because we'd have, like, Shane Cashman popping in the morning show.
I think having him, uh, uh, Phil Labonte express interest in some, in some kind of, uh, potential hosting.
I don't know exactly what his idea was.
Maybe as a relief host, if I've got to take time off, Phil comes in and then hosts the show.
That would be really cool.
Like, if I get sick, why cancel the show?
Just have Phil Labonte do it!
That would be awesome!
unidentified
Yo.
Phil.
tim pool
Shoutout.
All right.
Track Media Only says, I think AM is nice, but then you have the problem of how many can catch you live at a time.
No, no, no, no.
It's bonus, man.
We still produce the clips.
We do the live show, then clips come out, we put them up.
That's the key right there, man.
Let's go up for about another 10 more minutes.
And here's the other thing, too.
If we do a live show, maybe we even just do live until 3 p.m., and then I tell all the viewers, watch Pop Culture Crisis to degauss.
I like saying that.
Like when you press the button and degauss the monitor.
We don't do that anymore.
It was fun when we used to.
Alright.
Phil the Remain says, yo I'm not kidding, going into an election year?
That sounds fun as hell.
Alright bro, I'll hit you up!
You gotta come out to West Virginia!
That would be super cool.
Yeah, so when we took vacation off this past week, I was bummed about it.
I'm like, I don't like the idea that we don't have IRL live, but like, yo, it was hard to get guests.
I didn't know how we were gonna make the show work.
We had a cancellation, and I'm just like, I don't know, man.
Maybe we just take the vacation.
So we did.
But it would be cool if we had someone who was like, I'll do the holiday guest hosting.
That would be awesome.
Super awesome.
Cody Justin Fenton says, how many needs to flip for a Dem to win?
Uh, six.
Six flips and the Democrats win.
I don't see it.
Look, the McCarthy votes are all in for McCarthy.
I don't see these people voting Democrat.
And the Donald votes are just saying, no McCarthy.
The McCarthy votes could just vote Donalds.
There's no reason not to.
But they are just scared.
Now look, McCarthy has legitimate support.
There are people who really are behind him.
I think most of the rank and file are just scared.
All right, let's see what we got here.
We'll go about 10 minutes longer on this one.
Garren says, I just want the Republicans to nominate Cat Turd as speaker, just to see 20 votes for a Cat Turd over McCarthy.
I agree, man.
Someone pointed out in the previous stream that Donald's rejected all the spending bills in the past two years.
Hear, hear, man.
Eric Chad in the regular chat says, I want to sing for Timcast Records, please.
How do I audition?
We're getting there, man.
We're getting there.
It's very, very difficult.
We got the Skate Show coming up soon.
I'm really excited for this.
We've got the shows basically automating themselves, but we're just gonna keep building.
And the challenge is, the coffee shop and the coffee stuff is guaranteed money.
No joke.
We launch a coffee shop, we're gonna sell coffee, we're gonna turn a profit.
The margins will be slim, but we'll make money.
The coffee product we sell on this show is guaranteed money as well.
Right now, we do sponsorships for some companies.
If I'm shouting out our own coffee brand, we're promoting our physical location, and we're selling a product.
Yo, win-win.
Making a skate show?
It's tough.
It's going to be a heavy investment, and we're going to cross our fingers.
But I think we can pull it off.
It'll be a lot of fun.
I'm looking forward to having the new studio space, because it's got a big skate park we're building in there, and that's going to be better than the current one.
So I'm super excited.
And also, shout out, we got a huge pro coming to skate tomorrow.
Really, really great pro.
I'm not going to say who, because it's going to be up to them.
But seeing people start to be like, yo, I'll speak my mind.
I'm not scared.
It's inspirational.
Inspirational.
All right.
David Troutman says, haven't seen a response on building the Tim Caster guitar yet.
You can put Fender on the wall.
Is it the style you'd like or a Gibson or Custom?
Strat?
Strat or Tele style would be great.
Strat style.
My guitar actually over here, the one that I play the most, it's actually a Stratocaster.
And it's so good.
Maybe I'll bring that one up, to be honest.
I think I'm going to bring this guitar up to the studio.
The reason I have this here is because I play this one more often.
So the one hanging behind me is a Bret Mason, and he's amazing.
And so I hung that one up.
I think it's really, really cool.
But, uh, Hequibus says, who voted President?
That was Spartz, Republican out of Indiana's 5th District, I believe.
Cloud Born says, what about Coffee Brand Coffee?
Huge fan of Jeremy Hambly and Coffee Brand Coffee.
He's a smaller roaster.
And I'm not trying to be disrespectful.
He's a small business.
So you guys should definitely support him.
First thing I did was hit him up and I'm like, bro, we need a coffee brand for our shops.
We gotta sell our own coffee though.
We have to brand our physical locations.
Like Starbucks isn't selling a different brand of coffee.
And I was like, can you private label?
And of course.
We went over the costs.
It's just too expensive.
In order to open brick-and-mortar shops, we need to keep our margins low.
So, Jeremy's like, look man, no hard feelings.
My issue, it's not about hard feelings, it's about I wanna build that parallel economy.
I want Jeremy to make a billion dollars.
I want him to overtake Starbucks brand.
And so, ultimately, the end of the conversation was, we're gonna go with a larger distribution roaster for our specific blends because it will be less expensive.
I don't believe it's a loss in quality.
Um, although I will say, with a smaller roaster like Jeremy Hambly, you are getting that artisanal, hands-on experience you don't really get with a larger roaster, so, that being said.
But I think we got good quality stuff, and it's cheaper for us.
It keeps our costs down.
My goal is to open physical locations.
That means I gotta keep the costs down, but Ultimately, I said, you know, we both kind of agreed.
As Jeremy expands and his costs come down as he gets bigger and hires more people and makes more products, eventually we switch over once we can.
Once we get the physical locations established and we're pulling a profit, I will absolutely Sacrifice profits if it means we're supporting coffee brand coffee and we're building that parallel economy.
For the time being, this is what we're going to do.
It's American roast.
It's in a district that leans Republican.
All of these things that I think are important is what it is.
Alright.
Vinny Martello says, Hey Tim, if you're still having trouble with lumber, I'd be more than happy to make a trip to West Virginia, fell the trees, and mill them on site, and help you build cool new stuff.
We're not, um, yo, we're trying to build a building, another one.
We just got an average price per square foot, and I was like, that's too expensive.
Costs are so insanely high, man.
Excuse me.
So insanely high.
Trevor Ritzke says, so completely hypothetical, but since anyone can be nominated for speaker, what do you think your response would be if you were nominated?
I'd laugh and just be like, why?
I'd ignore it.
I'd say please.
Justin Walter says, Tim, you should get Trey Gowdy on IRL.
Would love to get his take on the Benghazi hearings, Russia collusion hoax, and their current state of the GOP.
I think Gowdy is very much behind McCarthy, isn't he?
Freakin' Dingbat says, hey Tim, love the live shows.
I'd love to do some free mural work for you.
I use acrylic and spray paint.
Could be cool.
It's gonna take some time.
We have a big steel building set up.
It's very cold inside.
I'm very excited for that.
We gotta get our massive TV screen.
I'm thinking big projector.
4K, 24-footer projector.
I'd like to do an actual screen, but these things cost like a million bucks.
Jeez, man, they're expensive.
So, projector's probably cheaper.
That's a thousand bucks.
Let's grab some more superchats.
What do we got?
Laughing Dogs says, I nominate Brittany Venti for the show.
She did an interview with Austin during a Pride Parade.
That was very good.
Brittany, I've seen some of her stuff.
I think it's pretty good.
She's edgy.
But I think maybe we have some people pop in.
The idea for the morning show is more like this.
I just go live, pull sources, you guys superchat and chat.
I do my segments like normal, but it gets everything done way faster.
Way, way faster.
Good stuff.
We'll keep it up for a few minutes because Pop Culture Crisis is going to go live.
And I'll just read a couple more here.
A drunk changeling says voting against Donald is racist.
Shaking my head.
That's right.
These Republicans.
They can't do it.
They gotta support him.
It's the only way.
Alright, what do we got here?
Track Media Only says, I hope they're still trying to offer up a solution and not just being opposition at this point.
I think Donald's is a great, a great option to be completely honest.
Um, look, don't know a whole lot about him, but uh, I like the idea that he's uh, he's pushing back, he switched, and someone mentioned that he voted against these funding bills, so I dig it, I dig it.
Anthony Pisola says, been a GM for almost 20 years, ran hundreds of games, I'll be your GM.
Is that Game Master for D&D?
What we need is A good DM who will control everything and stop the shenanigans when the shenanigans goes too far and then be funny and let it happen when it does.
So.
Alan Shower says, back to back to back.
Crowder pool quartering all live.
Pool news clips after quartering lead into IRL winning.
And then what we do?
with the new coffee shop locations as we put monitors on the walls that play that exactly that so when someone comes to down in the drinking coffee that's on the TV not Fox News not CNN at the bar TV screens that's who's who's being played alright everybody We're going to the sixth vote.
Stay tuned!
YouTube.com slash TimCast IRL tonight at 8 p.m.
It's gonna be a lot of fun.
For now, all of you should head over to YouTube.com slash PopCultureCrisis and hang out with Brett Dasovic and Mary Morgan as they talk pop culture issues.
Take some time off from the craziness of the political world, hang out, and here's how it works over at Pop Culture Crisis.
When you super chat there, money guns fire money into the air.
And then for every hundred dollars that comes through, there's a crisis party and sirens go off and money guns fire into the air, just like our chicken parties.
But go check out Pop Culture Crisis, subscribe to that channel, support them, and we'll figure things out.
Here's what I'm thinking.
Maybe what we do is, Maybe the TimCast News channel is where we do the live show.
Maybe the clips go on this channel.
I don't know.
Maybe this is the live show, and then maybe we do the clips on TimCast News.
I think I'm gonna start Monday, first thing.
I think it's a new year, time for a new show, and I think it'll be a lot of fun.
Need to find a producer ASAP.
But it'll be fun.
One last comment.
No way!
He already moved into the speaker suite.
They're losing control, man.
They're losing control.
Thanks for hanging out, everybody.
Smash that like button on the way out.

And go watch Pop Culture Crisis right now.
And we'll see you all at 8 p.m.
over at youtube.com slash timcast irl alright everybody here we go
I'm live streaming on this channel.
We got the House convening for day two.
Big session.
Kevin McCarthy lost.
Donald Trump has endorsed McCarthy.
Matt Gaetz masterfully roasts Donald Trump by saying sad when Trump endorses Kevin McCarthy.
So I'm going to play some of this video.
And, you know, I've been thinking, man.
Thinking of maybe changing things up and doing a different model.
As the Congress is beginning to convene, we'll see what happens.
They're doing the Pledge of Allegiance or something.
But let me tell you a few things.
Kevin McCarthy apparently wants to adjourn again until tomorrow.
And I'll tell you one thing I saw that I found absolutely fascinating.
Right now, for those that are just tuning in, don't know exactly what's going on, yesterday was the vote for Speaker of the House.
The House of Representatives.
Congress, basically.
Not in 100 years has there been a failed vote this way.
There have been three votes Kevin McCarthy has lost each time.
Hakeem Jeffries is the Democrat nominee, but there's not enough Democrats in Congress to get him the majority.
So this means That nobody can win.
You need a majority of the votes to win.
Nobody has it.
Three failed votes.
Jim Jordan actually improved 20 votes.
Jim Jordan doesn't even want the job.
He wants to be involved in investigations.
You got Mike Cernovich saying, take McCarthy, it's the best you can get.
Donald Trump saying, take the victory and run!
Matt Gaetz is saying, sad.
I like this Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert, you know?
I'm excited.
Look, man.
I know you guys have heard me say it a million times.
I'm not a Republican, all right?
Now, I'll tell you what's happening here.
I'm doing a live stream on this channel for a couple reasons.
One, it's happening now, all right?
It's happening now.
The House is convening.
We're gonna see this vote in real time.
It's historic.
I think, uh, normally I record around now.
I'll pull up a bunch of sources.
I got a bunch of stories.
I got, you know, police and stuff in Seattle and parents in Vegas suing.
And, uh, this is the big news.
So if I were to wait for the news to resolve itself, I'd have nothing to record.
So I was like, well, we'll just do it live.
The second reason is, I've actually been thinking about this idea of just doing a morning live show and a nightly live show.
Uh, and I'll explain as we're waiting for things to come together.
So, when I first started on YouTube, I actually did an edit.
I would work for like four hours, then I would record, and when I would record, I wouldn't do this.
I would, I would, I would say something, then I'd pause, then I'd pull up an article, then I'd quote the article, then I'd pause, then I'd go into the edit and I'd edit it down and make into a shorter video.
At some point, I was like, yo, this workload's too much for a 10-minute video.
I'm just gonna do it live.
But live recording.
So then, I press record and just talked.
And now, most of my videos are just that way.
Now, I'm thinking there's a better way to do it.
You know, I'll tell you, inspired by Hasan Piker.
Just go live in the morning.
That's probably the best way to do it.
Wake up, grab coffee, and then just go live.
And then what we do is, I'll hire a producer to basically pull the segments out of my live show like we already do with TimCast IRL.
And that will create way more content, and very different content, but it is what it is.
It's easier to do, it's more fun, it's more interactive going live instead of just doing the monologue.
I don't know what that means for the Tim Pool Daily Show podcast, but we'll see.
I can't do that just for now until I get the new studio set up, but I'm thinking it might just be... Timcast IRL is a live conversation at night.
We got Kellan and Serge, they do the production.
Kellan then takes it and cuts into clips.
And maybe just do the same thing for a morning show.
That way it's a bit easier.
Morning show, night show, nothing in between.
And I'll tell you another thing about it.
One of the issues is, so I record at between 9 and 10, publish at 10.
Record between noon and 1, publish at 1.
And then at that point, kind of just get the story and then publish it when I can.
Maybe what I'll do is, on youtube.com slash timcast, that'll be the whole live non-stop from like, 9 a.m.
until 1 p.m., just live the whole time, pulling up the articles, reading news, interacting with the audience, and then on this channel, put up the clips.
We'll see how we can figure it out.
But I think it'll just be better, easier.
It'll free up more of my day while producing more content and creating something more interactive with the audience, instead of just saying, comment below, and then I can read some comments and then never actually engage or anything.
You know, maybe that'll work better.
Maybe it won't.
I don't know.
At the beginning of 2021, I changed things up.
I used to do five segments on this channel.
Three of them were 10 minutes.
Two of them were 20 minutes.
Cut out those three.
Focus more on the website.
Maybe this is a better way to do things.
Let me know what you think in the chat.
I think, you know, basically what's happened is there's been big breaking news moments where I'm like, if this happens, this big breaking news moment, And I... I'm just sitting here watching it, and then I record later.
Yeah, I'm late to the party.
You know what I mean?
People have already put up videos.
People have already put up live streams, and then I put up my video and cross my fingers people would rather watch me two hours later, and I'm like, it's probably a bad idea.
Let's think about it this way.
I go live at 9 a.m., Tim Pool live show, and then we do, what, four hours live in the morning, where I'm just hanging out.
Sometimes I'll be talking.
Sometimes I'll pause and be like, I'm just going to read some stuff and you guys can chat and super chat.
Maybe I'll get up and go cook breakfast.
You'll watch behind me or something like that.
Well, probably not because I'll be in the studio, but I'll just keep the stream running.
You guys can chat.
You can hang out.
Then I can pull up the segments and be like, let's talk about it.
We can record clips.
This means I'll get more segments.
It means I'll have a morning show live.
It means that my time from 1 until IRL is freed up.
It means that you guys will be providing me better context and news stories, things I might miss.
I just think, ultimately, it's a much better idea and more fun.
And, you know, well... Why did you go dark, Tim?
I don't know.
So I think I might do this stream for about an hour, because they're convening in the house, and then we'll see.
And then I'll probably record my segment for YouTube.com slash Timcast.
But, uh, I don't know.
Maybe we'll just, uh, we'll switch it up.
We'll switch it up, make it easier.
Let's, uh, let's play this, see what they got going on.
We got that audio running yet?
We don't.
unidentified
Here we go.
tim pool
Here we go.
unidentified
And Super Chat, smash the like button.
I'll, uh, I'll, we'll be more interactive for this one.
tim pool
Noah Sanders.
Tim, like Bill O'Reilly.
Eff it, we'll do it live!
Yeah, I'm jealous of Hassan right now.
He just livestreams for eight hours straight.
unidentified
And I'm like, it's probably more fun.
It's like game streaming, but it's probably way more fun.
tim pool
You know, I'm sitting here and like, I can't request a forum.
unidentified
I'm like, let's do it live.
tim pool
I love my news team.
unidentified
It's that peace love in real time, where they post stories and talk about it and talk about it.
tim pool
And you guys can suggest stories in real time.
I think Hassan had that idea right.
unidentified
Oh yeah, so you can take this full screen.
I don't know if I can do that, honestly, because the frame isn't the same.
The way I have it pulled up, you can see, like, the... I put the browser bar in there so you can see what the source is.
I have it pulled up, you can see like the top's been cut off.
I put the browser bar in there so you can see what the source is.
But I don't know if I'm full screen or if it actually works.
It kind of works.
You see it's cut off.
I don't know, Tim, we have a system.
We just don't have the name.
tim pool
Anyway, let's hang out.
unidentified
What's going on?
tim pool
I can't hear you, Tim.
Audio too high.
unidentified
There we go.
tim pool
You can hear the muttering.
unidentified
Well, I guess until something happens, it's pointless to play anyway.
tim pool
Let's read, uh, audio loud.
Loud, loud, loud.
Okay, I think I fixed it.
Let's, uh, let's read Super Chats.
And, uh, as we, as we sit around for this.
Also, Raymond G. Stanley Jr., you know him, you love him.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna mute this for now.
This is kind of pointless.
Uh, was saying that it was fun to watch the commentary, the live commentary on the, uh...
On the house speaker vote.
And I'm like, yeah, I agree.
News isn't always breaking like this.
But one thing I'm thinking is that maybe, uh... What we can do... Because we've got Pop Culture Crisis at 3.
We've got a gamer show launching.
It's gonna be at 5pm.
Just hanging out playing video games.
And I'm like, we should just make 24 hour live or whatever.
And then put up the clips.
You know?
We'll do it that way.
And then of course we have the members only segment.
And then, uh, you know.
Yeah.
Your- My audio is low?
Is that- 1, 2, 3.
Oh, I see, I see.
I don't know, it's hard to control.
Alright?
Let's read some Super Chats!
And then we'll hang out.
Maybe we'll hang out for like an hour or so, and we'll figure something out.
Maybe we'll change things up.
I need the new studio to get built, because the new studio is going to allow me to do both shows in a unique way, right?
Alright, let's see.
Oh, closed captions.
That's a good idea.
Look at that.
Closed captions.
Let's turn on, uh... Is that gonna work?
What is this?
Nothing's happening.
Oh, okay.
I guess nothing's happening because they're just talking behind each other.
You can't really see anything.
Let's get some super chats!
And this will be, uh... Normally, I was gonna put something up at 1pm as I normally do, but I'm like, they're convening at noon.
So what do we do?
You know?
I don't know.
I don't know what we do.
Maybe we'll do something different.
Jeffo on the Bound says MAGA is bigger than Trump, the cycle must be broken.
Dude, Donald Trump endorsed Kevin McCarthy.
Kevin McCarthy claimed that he was funded by Putin, that he's responsible for January 6th.
Liz Cheney nominated him.
I'm seeing these conservatives and they're like, here we go, the Clerk of the House, the Reading Clerk will call.
I'm hearing people be like, you know, we could get an ever-Trumper if we don't support Kevin McCarthy, and I'm like, what do you mean?
Alright, alright, let's play some of this.
I don't want to play it too loud.
unidentified
All right.
Oh, I see what happened with the loud audio.
It's because my volume is low, but the gain is high on the output.
tim pool
happen with the loud audio, it's because my volume is low, but the gain is high on the
unidentified
output. Let's watch, let's watch.
The gentleman is recognized.
Let's all take a second, take a look around.
I know people are getting frustrated.
Take a look at this chamber and realize how lucky we are.
To serve this country in Congress.
how lucky we all are, Democrats and Republicans, to be citizens of the greatest country in the history of
the world.
He's definitely out of order, Madame Clerk.
Thank you.
I say that because I know last night people were frustrated, they wanted to go to parties, they wanted to take pictures with their families.
But honestly, we find ourselves here in this chamber for the second day, and we know we got work to do.
But in some ways, there's no place I'd rather be.
With the possible exception of Lambeau Field on Sunday, no place I'd rather be.
But maybe, with the excitement, some of you hadn't had an opportunity to check what's happening online, let me fill you in, or what's happening on Twitter, what the press is writing about.
In some ways, they're salivating.
There's headlines about the chaos, this and that.
Yesterday, our colleagues on the other side of the aisle were tweeting their bags of popcorn that they had out.
They love it.
The schadenfreude is palpable.
But I think my friends On the Democratic side, misunderstand what's happening here.
Sure, it looks messy.
But democracy is messy.
Democracy is messy.
By design.
By design.
tim pool
And that's a feature.
That's a feature, not a bug of our system.
We air it all out.
unidentified
In the open.
For the American people to see.
Because at the end of the day, the President's not in charge.
The Supreme Court's not in charge.
tim pool
This is so boring.
unidentified
The American people are in charge.
And I'm proud to be part of a party that welcomes debate, that invites different views.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, we get it.
I'm gonna meet this guy.
I'm gonna read some Super Chats.
So you guys can see him on the screen.
This is Mike Gallagher and he's just grandstanding.
I'm not interested.
Because we got two Super Chats I want to read.
Kyle says, Every MAGA supporter I know would rather have a Democrat speaker than McCarthy.
F who Trump endorses, we think for ourselves.
Yeah, there you go.
You got Stephen Frost says, As a conservative, I do not like Kevin McCarthy.
I can tell you that as a Kentucky native, McConnell is not well liked.
Conservatives do not like career Republicans.
Pull up the polls, man!
Democrats mostly like Democrats.
Republicans are split on Republicans.
It means Democrat voters are like, I don't know if I like Democrats.
I'm sorry, Democrat voters are like, we mostly like Democrats.
Republicans are the ones who are like, I don't know if I like Republicans.
All right, Sir John says, switch to dissenters after Trump endorsed KM, Kevin McCarthy, built in the China shop turned swamp thing.
Narcissism livestream, so entertaining.
Did you guys watch yesterday?
It was really amazing when all the Democrats, they're voting for Hakeem Jeffries, and they're like... I don't know who the lady is who's calling out their names or whatever, the parliamentarian or something, I don't know.
But she'll be like, you know, she calls out... Well, it was actually funny when she called out Ocasio-Cortez, and then you don't hear anything, and then all of a sudden you hear, Jeffries!
Because apparently she wasn't in the room.
That's funny.
But no, the Democrats will stand up and be like, they'll call the name, Smith, and then the Democrat will go, I would like to take this historic moment to announce to Congress, to my father, to my mother, that I will be casting my honorable vote, once again, for the greatest man ever, Hakeem Jeffries.
And then everyone goes, wah!
And starts screaming.
And then they go to the Republicans, and they're like, Gates, and he goes, Jordan, And that's it?
OK.
You know, look, man.
Here we go.
Gallagher's going up and saying, you gotta vote for Kevin McCarthy.
You gotta vote for Kevin McCarthy.
Donald Trump retired.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm going to say it, guys.
I'm going to say it.
I know the Trump supporters don't want to hear it.
Well, I know some Trump supporters are fine with hearing it.
But let me tell you, my friends, when Donald Trump comes out and endorses Kevin McCarthy, what that says to me is Trump is like, They raided my home, okay?
The FBI raided my home.
They're accusing me once again.
It never stops!
Please make it stop!
And then they say, you support the Uniparty, you fall in line, and it all stops.
And then Trump says, I will do anything you say.
That's Trump.
It is what it is.
I don't know if I even trust DeSantis.
I don't trust any of these guys.
But I think it's a philosophy.
It's the nature of reality.
It's power structures.
Power structures exist.
Confidence exists.
Humans believe.
I'll put it this way.
The Republicans fear Kevin McCarthy.
Plain and simple.
You're a freshman Republican.
Kevin McCarthy comes to you and says, I run the party.
If you want to get re-elected, we're here for you.
Do not cross me.
And they know.
Because they've seen what's happened to people who go against Kevin McCarthy.
So, these people don't actually care about what McCarthy will do.
They don't care about what he'll do policy-wise.
They just don't want to lose.
And I think that's true of Marjorie Taylor Greene.
She got stripped from her committees.
Oh, the gentleman from California, will you please rise?
unidentified
Speaker of this House.
More wasted time is how it's going to happen.
The gentleman is recognized.
Madam Clerk, make no mistake, there is no frustration on our side.
tim pool
Oh, come on.
Alright, you know what?
I'm not going to listen to this guy either.
This is, uh, was it Pete Aguilar?
Yeah, okay.
The Democrats are like, we are unified.
The Socialists, the Communists, and the more conservative Democrats are all unified behind Hakeem Jeffries.
Yeah, because you're a cult, dude.
It's funny, they're calling the Republicans fascists because there's dissent, and I'm like, uh-huh.
And, you know, to Gallagher's point, it's like this is what democracy looks like.
People are saying, uh, we got P.S.S.
W.E.F.
Puppet Show.
Yep.
All right, let's see.
What is this?
You need to figure out streaming audio, LOL.
Turn the gain down.
Are you talking about on the desktop audio?
So this is the challenge.
The audio meters are different, but one looks low, but it's actually louder for some reason.
I don't know.
Yeah, you're probably right.
So that's why we're getting the new studio set up.
Maybe what I'll do, to be completely honest, is I'll start doing the morning show in the IRL studio for the time being, and I'll just start doing a morning live stream.
You know, look, man.
I sit here reading all day, and it's probably easier just to hire someone to do similarly to what we do with IRL, but do a morning show instead.
Like, do a similar morning show.
Maybe we do it—maybe we literally just do, like, a two-hour morning show.
Maybe we do it, like, noon to two.
Something like that.
Yeah, I don't know.
And then what we'll do is we'll put those on YouTube.com slash TimCast and then we'll put clips on this channel and we'll figure out something different.
It'll probably be better.
People say audio is hard.
Oh, you know it, dude.
We've gone through multiple mixers, man.
Kyle says, Tim, thoughts on iPatchMcCain's comments last night?
I don't think I saw him.
I don't think I saw him.
Some people are talking about small tactical nukes.
No, we don't want that.
Here's what I think.
What do we got?
Byron Donalds for speaker?
Oh, I like this one.
chip roy
Byron is a dear friend, a solid conservative, but most importantly, a family man who loves dearly his wife, Erica, his three children, has a proven track record as a businessman, public service in the Florida legislature, and now as a member of the United States Congress.
Now, Here we are, and for the first time in history, there have
been two black Americans placed into the nomination for Speaker of the House.
unidentified
Chick Roy going with the virtue signal.
chip roy
Thank you.
Madam Clerk, order.
We do not seek to judge people by the color of their skin, but rather the content of their
character.
Byron Donalds.
unidentified
Byron Donalds is a good man raised by a single mom who moved
chip roy
past adversity, became a Christian man at the age of 21, and has devoted his life to
advancing the cause for his family and for this country.
And And he has done it admirably.
But there's an important reason for nominating Byron.
And that is, this country needs a change.
This country needs leadership that does not reflect this city, this town, that is badly broken.
The House of Representatives is the people's house.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
It represents the entirety of our country and we each represent some 750,000 people.
And we come here and here we sit in a room filled with those representatives.
And my friend, Mr. Gallagher, and he is my friend, and I agree with him on many things.
And I agree with almost everything that you were talking about.
But we should be in here having this kind of a conversation with this many people in the room about Ukraine.
And we should debate the merits.
And we should debate the ups and downs of being involved.
We should debate the $45 billion.
We should debate whether it should be more or less.
We should debate whether it should be paid for.
We should debate what the result we should demand.
The only way you're going to get that is if you change the rules and have the leadership to advance the rules to make sure that we can do that.
Now, We've had a conversation for two months to try to advance the ball, and we have had success in doing that.
But we're not there.
We're not at the place where we need to be to guarantee, to guarantee that we're going to be able to stand up in the face of the swamp that continues to step over the American people on a daily basis, and spend money we don't have, and to continue to leave our borders open, and to continue to fund bureaucrats that are stepping over the freedoms of the American people.
Byron will stand up and do that.
Byron has a track record of doing that.
unidentified
Thank you.
chip roy
And importantly, when we're sitting here today and we continue this debate and we let them have a vote, I just ask my friends on this side of the aisle, do you think that the American people support the status quo?
Yes or no?
Do you think that the American people want us to continue down the road of what we've been doing?
Do they want us to continue to do the things since the leadership that's currently in place have been in place?
Do you think they want us to continue down that path?
And the argument that I would make is that they want a new face, new vision, new leadership, and I believe that face, vision, and new leadership is Byron Donalds, and I'm proud to put his name into nomination, and I yield back.
tim pool
I'll take it, I'll take it.
He's right.
This is what I've been saying about McCarthy.
I don't care.
I'm not a Republican.
I don't care for the leadership.
I don't care for whose turn it is.
I don't care for any of that.
Are they going to do roll call now?
Is that what's happening?
Here we go!
Five defections and McCarthy loses.
Let's get it.
Well, as the count begins, here's what I'll do.
We'll grab Super Chats.
We'll hang out.
We'll have a good time.
I saw someone say that... What did we have?
Someone said... Sean says, don't need two hours, but a 45 to 60 minute morning show would be awesome.
I'd rather that over 30 minute segments.
Feel it out and see what people prefer.
You know, when I started doing all of this, it was very much just off-the-cuff, on-the-fly.
I think now we're at a point where we could actually make a full morning show.
So here's how it went, as we're waiting for this to begin.
I originally had a podcast that was just this Tim Pool Daily Show, and it was all my segments combined into one, and I would get like 80 to 100K downloads on it, or something like that.
And it started off really slow, it was like 100 downloads, and then next month it was like 400, and I was like, wow.
And so it started doing better, and then we launched TimCast IRL, and the Tim Pool Daily Show dropped off to like 50k, and TimCast IRL to like 100k.
So those are good.
Podcasts pay way more than YouTube does in terms of ads.
It's kind of crazy.
Like, you just make way more money off of one person listening to your podcast, probably because people listen to podcasts longer than YouTube videos.
That could be it, so they get more ads, I suppose.
So, and I will mention this, pause.
We got the feed up You don't got Jordan listed this time, you got Donald's listed.
Five defections, and McCarthy loses.
Let's see if things keep up with where they were yesterday.
It may very well be that the defectors just stop, but look, you got Gates and Boebert, that's basically a guarantee.
They're not gonna just cave in to McCarthy.
So anyway, what was I talking about?
I can't remember what I was talking about before this.
Alright, yeah.
No one cares?
Are you saying no one cares about the vote?
unidentified
What?
tim pool
What is this, a poop emoji?
Good poop emoji.
Still holy F you're doing Morning Show.
Yeah, here's what I'm thinking.
My point was with the podcast is just me, like, hey, there's a news article and I'm pressing record.
We could probably do a better produced morning show just like we do IRL.
I'll hire a producer, somebody who can help source, or actually, I mean, we have a news
team.
So I'll just grab a bunch of articles from the news team and then we'll do a morning
show based on that.
We'll talk all about it and then we'll follow current trends and we'll do it live.
This means that you guys right now who are in the super chat and chatting, you can send
news articles right now, super chat them.
I can pull them up.
We can talk about them.
I learned that from Hassan.
Shout out.
He's got a good model.
I remember he was tweeting once, like, I go live for like eight hours a day, you know, and then people were like, yeah, but he goes live and he hangs out, and I'm like, oh, okay.
Because when I heard that he went live, I'm thinking that what he's doing is, like me, like pulling up all these crazy articles and then going through them non-stop.
No, no, no, he kind of just, he makes his day into a live stream, and I'm like, that's probably a better idea.
Way easier.
Way more fun.
I think it'll be way better.
I mean, look, we got 18,000 people hanging out right now as we do this livestream on the House vote.
Donald's got one vote so far.
Four more!
And we're only in the B's, okay?
So they're going in alphabetical order.
Bishop of Georgia.
Says Jeffries, Bishop of North Carolina.
Donalds!
unidentified
That's two votes for Byron Donalds!
tim pool
With Gates and Boebert, you have four people's votes already.
Isn't it funny how Donald Trump's like, you gotta vote for McCarthy, and people are like, sorry dude.
I don't think Trump understands, and I don't think the left understood, Donald Trump is not the cause of, he is a symptom Of the anger that- There's three for Donalds.
That's it.
Oh, that was Boebert right there.
Okay, that was Boebert.
We're in the B's.
So we have Gates.
He's a guarantee.
I think- I think we've seen it.
I'm gonna say it right now.
I do not see- Already in the B's.
We're at B-O.
He's got three votes.
So, plus gates, you think they can't find one more person?
Come on, you think Biggs is gonna vote McCarthy?
We'll see.
The New York Times did this hilarious thing, I pulled it up in the earlier segment, where they're like, how far right are the people voting against McCarthy?
And it's just like, the New York Times defend- Oh, there it is!
Vote for Donalds.
That was, uh, Brackeen?
Is that how you say it?
Bracheen?
I don't know how to pronounce that.
There it is.
There you go, my friends!
Kevin McCarthy lost again!
Live!
So, uh... It's not official-official, but I would laugh if, like, everyone else just was like, Nah, we'll go McCarthy.
Like, Matt Gaetz stands up and is like, It changed my mind!
Sorry, guys!
Nah, that's it.
McCarthy lost.
That is the fourth vote that McCarthy has lost.
There it is.
Five defectors.
This is great.
Uh, so as I was gonna say, guys, if you- if there's stories you're seeing, then, uh, super chat them.
And then I can- I can- I can search them, pull them up.
It'll be fun.
And, uh, I don't know, maybe we'll get started on this next week.
It's the new year.
I remember- it was- it was actually really scary.
Because, uh, when- when I- After 2020, when I cut off three segments from this channel, I was worried.
Like, it was a huge portion of the revenue for this company was those three segments.
Yeah, no for real.
Like, gotta produce the content, get them out there, get the views, make the money.
But here's what we did.
We switched to members at TimCast.com.
Go to TimCast.com, sign up and join us.
And that made it so that I was less worried about producing segments and more worried about producing quality content.
So I said, we reduce the amount of overall segments here, put a bonus segment on the website, do the show, and now we're less dependent on ad revenue, and it was way better.
Live streams bring on super chats.
Already, I'll tell you this right now, super chat revenue, I don't know if this is the hard number or the total number, it's $565 since the start of this live stream.
I think YouTube takes a cut of that, like 30 some odd percent, so we're probably looking at like 350 bucks, so far from just doing this half an hour live stream so far.
So I think if I go live at 9 a.m.
until 1 p.m.
and just hang out and pull up stories, then we grab clips from there, we'll have more clips, we'll have more interaction, it'll be better.
Anyway, let's read Super Chats.
I kind of want to just explain to everybody what's going on.
Maybe we'll start that next week.
I got to hire somebody.
But with 20,000 people watching live right now, it's probably a good idea.
Let's see.
This is a good point.
Jack Abel says, live show with Hannah Clare and or any Tim Cass journalist would never great morning show, would be a great morning show.
That's a good idea.
Maybe Hannah Clare would want to do it.
And then what we do is, it will still be very similar to my monologuing.
I've had a lot of people say they prefer me just talking as opposed to conversations, but most people prefer the conversations over me just talking, despite the fact that Tim Cass IRL is mostly me just talking.
You get the point.
But maybe we'll do a live producer and semi-co-host for the morning show.
What I like about the morning show is that it's just me and you guys, and so we can directly interact.
I want to give a shout-out to Matt Gaetz.
I don't want to cut away from the live count.
But Matt Gaetz wrote a letter yesterday to the architect of the cap- What is it called?
The architect of the Capitol?
Is that the guy?
And he was like, why is Kevin McCarthy in the speaker suite?
Under what law is he allowed to do this?
And at what point do you call him a squatter?
He did not win.
He lost.
Dude, Matt Gaetz is slaying it.
I'm a big fan.
This has been fantastic.
I've always liked Matt Gaetz.
He's always been a fighter.
But this stuff is Grand Slam territory.
There it is.
Cloud.
Votes for Donalds.
Five votes.
McCarthy has lost.
Tweet it out, ladies and gentlemen.
There it is!
How do I get the, uh... How do I get the link to this livestream so I can post it and be like, Kevin McCarthy lost.
You guys, there it is.
Clyde.
Sixth vote for Donalds.
Ladies and gentlemen.
There it is.
It's history.
CNN.
Now with the chyron.
Rhett McCarthy does not have the votes.
Fifth speaker vote.
Expected.
I'm excited.
This is great.
Yeah, so we're chillin'.
We're chillin'.
Yeah, maybe what I'll do is... Luke is actually only a seasonal co-host, if you guys like Luke Rutkowski.
He comes in for the winters and then goes down to Florida or something like that, or New Hampshire.
So, you know, he's not going to be here much longer, and then we'll have Hannah Clare probably on IRL more often, as well as... We're trying to get Seamus to come back.
Shimsham, Shimcast, what's going on, man?
And, uh, Mary Morgan, of course.
But maybe we'll do a morning show.
I think it'll be more fun.
Just going live, pulling up stories and talking about it.
All right, so that's six votes for Donald so far.
I guess Jim Jordan's out of the running.
All right, let's see.
Justin says, invest in Hannah Clare.
She's so pro and on it.
That is a fact.
That's right.
Hannah Clare is absolutely good at what she does.
She's phenomenal and she's great on the show.
Great journalism.
What's the way I would describe Hannah Clare for those that haven't seen her?
Professional.
Professional, straightforward, like real journalism, you know?
Not silly, serious, but not too serious.
It's great.
James Eaton says, what if some McCarthy votes get mad and vote Dem?
They would lose re-election.
That's seven votes for Donald right now.
So there it is, ladies and gentlemen.
You watched it happen.
How fun is that?
Solid Monkey says Jordan Peterson has to go to social media re-education camp or lose his license to practice.
Yep.
Look man, I'm not trying to rag on Trump.
I like Trump.
Like, I didn't like him before.
Endorsing McCarthy, I'm completely done with him, you're right, he is retired.
Look man, I'm not trying to rag on Trump.
I like Trump.
Like, I didn't like him before.
I said I didn't like him a couple years ago and I said I would never vote for him.
And then, he started doing things that I did like.
The North Korea thing was really, really big for me.
The foreign policy stuff.
And then I'm like, okay, you know, I actually, I like what he's doing.
And he's yelling at the media, and I'm like, okay, there's some things I don't like about what he's saying, but I like the guy.
He's funny.
He's always been funny.
I've always liked that.
But come on.
Endorsing McCarthy is him saying, call off your dogs.
Leave me be.
I'm an old man.
I'm tired.
I want to go play golf.
Some people were saying that Donald Trump only announced his run for 2024 because he doesn't want to go to jail.
Well, here's one way to do it.
Bend the knee.
Just bend the knee.
You give them what they want.
You're all good.
I was watching Molly's Game.
Have you seen that movie?
I think it's from 2017.
Actually, really good.
It's about Molly Bloom.
She was an Olympic athlete, got injured, and then eventually found herself running poker games in Hollywood at the Viper Room.
And in the movie, she's told by the feds that if she turns over her hard drives, they'll give her $5 million back, the money they seized from her, and she'll get no jail time.
That's eight votes for Donald's right there.
We're at number eight.
She says no.
She'd rather plead guilty.
And the reason is the hard drives don't have any evidence on them.
The hard drives just have, you know, personal information of people she knows that'll destroy their life.
Like, in the movie she mentions text messages from someone saying they wish they never had kids.
And then the kids would see that.
And she refuses to give that to the feds.
Instead, she opts to plead guilty.
She gets lucky.
The judge says community service and probation.
So I'm thinking about that, and I'm thinking about the people who are willing to say no to the machine to actually stand up and fight.
I get it.
Look, we've been swatted 15 times.
Two of those times we've had the bomb squad come out here, and it's not been fun.
And that is the pressure, I believe.
Some people, like the conspiracy theorists, are telling me that those swattings are the Feds, and I'm like, eh, and that explains why the Feds aren't doing anything about it.
I'm like, whatever, man, I don't know anything about that.
Antifa's got good reason to swat me, too.
Like, to them, right?
It's not good, they shouldn't do it, but they're lunatics and they don't like me, so...
I should rephrase that and say that I'm a problem for them.
So they swat me.
The goal of that is to create pressure so that I say something like, man, why don't I just do pop culture and just cancel all of this and no longer do politics?
I'll make money, I'll be comfortable, I'll eat pizza, and life will be good.
Yeah, but life would be boring and unfulfilling.
Sorry, man.
That pressure doesn't work on me.
You know, this is what I was saying.
I mentioned this, uh... I was like, the easiest thing to do to get me to, like, stop doing any of this would be, like...
Just showing up at my door and being like, here's exactly why we do what we do and why you have to stop, and give me like a strong logical explanation for these things, and then make me go, oh.
Like if they came down and said like, here's top secret information that proves Russia did a thing, I'd be like, wow.
Well, okay, you know, like, I guess what I'm trying to say is, if they actually proved the things they claimed, and it turned out they were telling the truth, then I would be like, okay guys, here's the truth, you know what I mean?
I guess what I'm trying to say is, they're liars, with no justification for what they do, in government, I'm talking about the intelligence agencies, and they're just trying to retain power, and thus, there's no real way they could convince me not to, you know, not to just keep doing my thing.
We got eight votes for Donald, so let's grab some Super Chats!
I don't think, to James Eaton's point, I don't think that any, I don't think Republicans will defect and vote Democrat.
I don't see it.
I think more likely you'll see Democrats defect and vote for McCarthy, and McCarthy will cut a deal with them.
It'd be funny if you even see, like, AOC do it.
Yo, here's your opportunity.
AOC should vote for Donalds.
And I'm not kidding.
I saw that video where AOC and Matt Gaetz were talking, and I don't know what they're talking about.
There was a bad lip-reading that was really funny.
If I was If I was in the minority, if I was a Republican candidate,
here we go, Matt Gaetz, he's going for Donald's. That's nine for Donald's. If I was a Republican
and the Democrats had the majority and the Democrats were saying they were going to stop Nancy
Pelosi, and then the Democrats got up and said, AOC for speaker, I'd be like, yep, I would
absolutely give AOC two years as speaker to and the was it 40 year reign of Nancy Pelosi.
Look, I get it.
People are going to be like, are you nuts?
AOC as Speaker would be so bad, would be so crazy, and I'm just like, dude, I get it, I get it.
Look, I think AOC is an establishment shill.
I'm using her as an example.
When I look at Donalds, when I look at Gates, when I look at Boebert, these are anti-establishment Republicans.
Call them far-right, call them whatever.
If I was a Democrat, I'd vote Donalds.
I'd be like, look, Jeffries is not going to win.
I'm not going to march in lockstep with these people, but here's an opportunity to upset the machine.
AOC criticized Jeffries.
In 2018, she said it was a top priority to get Jeffries out.
Now she's voting for him.
Dude, vote Donalds!
Then you can go and sit down with Donalds, and you can actually find you'll probably agree on a lot of things.
You will get more from Donalds than you will from Jeffries.
Jeffries is gonna be like, thanks for the support, let me get Wall Street on the phone and see how they want me to run Congress.
I think the squad should back Donalds.
Aw man, that would be amazing.
Because then, McCarthy's faction are gonna be in big trouble.
They're gonna be like, Democrats are actually coming to the Freedom Caucus side?
You betcha!
You bet 10 votes for Donalds!
I'm having a good time, guys.
How about you?
All right, let's grab some more Super Chats.
Unspecial Noob says, Tim, do you think this is a ploy by Republicans to put on a show that nominate Trump and vote him in?
No, but that would be so amazing if that actually happened.
Come on.
Donald Trump being nominated for Speaker in frustration?
They just vote him in?
That'd be great.
It's never gonna happen, though.
The Defamation League says, Yay is not the Speaker of the House that we need.
Yay is the Speaker of the House we deserve.
Fish sticks!
Haha!
Jamie says, Saw you in AZ for AmFest.
Wanted to say hello but didn't work out.
Was walking with a friend and saw you on a scooter.
Didn't want to be rude another time.
Yeah, we were cruising around on scooters.
It was fun.
We went to the Veritas party.
Travis Jackson says, there are lawyers dedicating their professional careers to ending Tim and others like him platforms because they see him as worse than Trump.
Well, the issue is Donald Trump, he'll bend the knee.
We got 11 votes for Donald.
Let's see if we can break 20 votes.
20 votes.
Let's see if we can get it.
The thing about people like me, Luke Rudkowski, Crowder, etc.
Freedom Caucus.
The thing about these guys is that Trump... Trump rallied a lot of people, but he's a symptom, not the cause.
And so what you're seeing now is, with Donald Trump effectively retiring... I don't have that still on, do I?
With Donald Trump effectively retiring, you now have Freedom Caucus, you have people like me, you have people like Luke.
Luke's never been a big fan of Trump.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, and she's voting for McCarthy.
Sad.
She doesn't look too happy.
McCarthy already lost and they know it.
But people like us, we are creating a mesh network, essentially, of anti-establishment sentiment.
So even if they get rid of Trump, even when Trump comes out and says, vote McCarthy, what happens?
People like me, people like Gates, people like Luke, we're like, no.
No, not interested.
Here we go.
Let's see.
PeanutButterAndJelly says, Tim, I just looked up Donald's voting history.
He's rejected every spending bill the last two years.
Bravo!
unidentified
Hey!
tim pool
I like it.
ReadyToRumble says, the Civil War is not between the left and the right.
It is between the new right and the old right.
Randall Hogan says, someone needs to nominate Donald Duck first Speaker of the House.
Oh, well, on a more serious note, I think Rand Paul should be elected Speaker of the House.
That'd be cool.
He's in the Senate.
We got 12 votes for Donald.
It's going to take a really, really long time to go through all the names because there's 434, I think.
So, I'm not going to be able to stick around for that entire time.
I am still planning on doing a 4pm segment, but maybe next week we'll start doing a morning show.
I'll talk with Hannah Clare and we'll see what we can come up with.
We'll see what we can do.
We have the IRL studio.
I'm in a different studio right now.
Obviously, you can tell there's a kitchen behind me.
But maybe I'll start doing that.
It'll be a bit different.
Alright, let's grab some more.
more.
Mark Shapkat says if all the independents and libertarians united to upset both sides,
they would be the party to pander to.
The third party, moderates, holds all the cards.
Yeah, well, here's the issue.
Democrats are mostly Democrats.
Republicans are half-independents.
Or actually, you know, I think a third of Republicans might be independent.
Republicans win when they convince politically-minded individuals to vote for them.
Democrats win by convincing ignorant people to slap a D on their badge.
So here we go.
We got 12 votes for Donalds.
McCarthy's in the lead by 2 with 87.
Jeffrey's at 86.
So McCarthy's now in the lead by 1.
Jeffrey's just increased by 1.
Jeffries will probably beat McCarthy again, because they've got all the Democrats.
Donald's got 12 votes so far.
All right, JagoDragon says, I bet McCarthy wanted a delay because he's making deals with Dems.
Yup.
I bet he's going to go to Blue Dog Democrat types.
He's going to go to more moderate Democrats from some of these from these post-Trump districts.
And he's going to say, I'll give you some concessions.
I only need five votes.
Five votes from some Democrats.
And he'll get in.
It's possible, but I don't know if a Democrat would do it because the Democratic Party is a cult, right?
So imagine being a Democrat and voting Republican.
They'd go nuts.
They'd be like, no, no, no, no, no.
The Republicans should vote Democrat.
I bet you're more likely to find five Republicans who would vote Democrat than five Democrats who would vote Republican.
I still don't think it'll happen.
In 1923, it went eight ballots until they finally got some concessions.
I think McCarthy can't win.
I think we're gonna go potentially past eight, but I think maybe three more votes today.
It'll wrap up around 5 or 6 p.m., and then they're gonna adjourn until tomorrow.
Then there's gonna be more phone calls.
Clearly, the phone calls last night did not do anything.
Nothing was accomplished.
Jeffrey's voting Jeffrey's!
And then everyone claps and cheers.
Haha.
Free men die free says you mentioned Ron Paul for speaker.
I concur.
You still owe us a Ron Paul episode.
I ain't giving up until it happens.
So, to have Ron Paul.
I'd love to get Rand and Ron.
We have to bring our studio to Texas.
I keep telling the crew, like, let's figure out how to make it happen.
We will get the trailer, we will drive it down, and we'll do the episode.
Maybe we even just take a day off to make the episode happen, because for travel.
So what we'd have to do is we'd fly out on Sunday, set the show up for Monday, and then fly back right away.
You know what?
I think we could actually pull it off without losing a beat.
It would just be really expensive.
We'd have to book a PJ.
That's a private jet.
But there's this company, Verojet, I had problems with when we were flying back.
So let me tell you something, guys.
Let me tell you something, guys.
Let's talk about private jets.
They're comparable to first-class tickets, depending on which jet you get.
This company, Verojet, it's like a small jet the size of an SUV.
And it's like $7,000 for a round trip.
If you're going to be driving five hours, Then it's comparable to a first class ticket if you filled the plane for adults to kids.
You're looking at some of these first class tickets can be over $1,000.
But the benefit is when we travel, we have $3,000 to $5,000 in camera equipment.
You cannot check that.
You can't do it.
When I was working for Vice, I had a C300.
It's a $20,000 camera rig.
And they told me I couldn't bring it on the plane.
Vice was like, then you're staying in New Zealand because we'd rather have you hang out on the beach than check that bag because they will break that camera.
Hands down.
It's not even like we're saying those guys are going to throw the bag.
It just happens, man.
I've had the misfortune of checking a DSLR because equipment tends to be bulky.
So you've got to travel light.
Or just if you're going to bring equipment.
So we have equipment and we're like, can't risk it, right?
We tried booking Varijet.
Varijet sent us a broken plane.
It was a bummer, and it kind of screwed up our day.
But it's like, do we buy first-class tickets?
And I'll explain something else, too.
Like, there's no way I can work 16-hour days and fly coach.
Sorry, man.
That's a reality.
Sitting I used to fly two times a week and it is painful.
It's fun when you're young, but it gets taxing I was on seven planes in the past two weeks Wow, it was totally brutal and I was I've been just completely under the weather and drained and tired It's been very very difficult because you got radiation you got the micro vibrations And so the reality is to fly Working 16-hour days, Monday through Friday, you need some level of comfort, first class.
They're typically not that expensive, but now this air jet company is really cheap for private jets.
So, seriously, it's like comparable to first class.
At the level we're at, if we're going to do the Ron Paul Show, okay, here's how it works.
We gotta fly out and set everything up.
That means we gotta send an advance crew.
They can fly, you know, commercial letter and arrive whenever they want.
Make sure everything works.
Then me, Luke, Ian, and whoever else have to come in for the show.
That's three people, three plane tickets round trip.
We gotta bring equipment with us, which we run the risk of breaking.
We then have to leave right away to make it back in time to do my morning show and then do TimCast IRL with production in between.
So when we wrap the show up at 11 p.m.
Eastern with Ron, that means we have to be back in the DC area by... If I'm gonna be able to sleep, I gotta get back immediately.
And that's gonna be a three-hour flight down Texas.
So, I'll be sleeping for three hours on the plane.
Okay, there's no way I'm doing two hours of waiting at an airport, checking bags, doing security, then getting on a first-class flight where you can't even lay back and go to sleep, and then trying to get up and do a morning show, which means we could cancel the morning show and then we have enough time, or we get something like VeriJet, which is 30-40% more expensive than first class.
But, we get everybody in, we get everybody out, and that's how it works.
A lot of people seem to think that private jets are just about luxury.
That's not the case.
For a lot of these CEOs, people like Elon Musk, it's a question of, is it possible to do the job otherwise?
And often it isn't.
Don't get me wrong.
It is nice, but I also want to just let everybody know, private jets are not luxury.
Yo, we've flown on a few private jets, and the food is a cardboard box with cold sausage and cold eggs in the bathroom.
Like, you get it because you need your schedule to be set.
But again, don't get me wrong, I mean, it's nice to be able to do.
For sure, it's just not possible to do otherwise.
And I've had people tweeting like, Tim's justifying flying on private planes.
I'm like, well yeah, literally.
I wanna do the Ron Paul Show, man.
In order to do it, we gotta be able to get everybody in and everybody out.
We do the show, we leave right away.
Or, the alternative.
This is why we bought the RV.
And the RV's 50, uh, uh, we got two, we got two of them, cause we had to upgrade.
One was 50 grand, one was 100 grand.
So at that point, it's like, okay, what's more expensive?
The trailer, hook it to a truck, we do the show from the trailer like we did in Nashville.
We drive it out three days in advance, have someone set up the rig.
It needs power, it needs internet, it needs all that.
Very difficult to do.
Then we fly out on the weekend, we do the show for the whole week in the city, then we fly back and the crew brings the trailer back.
We did that for Austin, we did it for Nashville.
It was fun.
Or, we spend $7,000 on a private flight that gets us all in the day of and right back out, and we don't spend $100,000.
It's tough.
You know what I mean?
Running a business is expensive.
I went to a car dealership.
And I asked the guy running it, how much do they make in revenue per month?
Get this, a million bucks per month.
I'm like, this dealership, and you know what it is?
It's service.
It's not selling cars.
He was like, selling cars is a couple hundred grand, but service on those cars is a million bucks.
People who own car dealerships, man, that's the majority of millionaires in this country.
I'm pretty sure that's true.
I was reading an article about it.
It said the majority of people who are millionaires... I shouldn't put it that way.
The plurality.
The largest faction of millionaires are people who own local car dealerships.
Anyway, Donald says 13 votes.
There we go, baby.
Alright, let's see what we got.
We'll read a few more and then we'll keep the livestream up.
Maybe only a few more minutes.
We got a regular old chat.
Someone says we got Geoelectric Universe.
Massie for McCarthy?
Thomas Massie voted McCarthy.
Yes, right.
He's been voting McCarthy.
Yes.
That's right.
Axis of Evil says, Tim the Elite.
Yeah, you know it.
Man.
Ray, I'm sorry, Ryan the Eating Warrior says, the more money you make, the more Coach hurts you.
LOLOL.
Well, I'll put it this way.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
says, Dude, we'll skip a morning show for Mr. Paul.
Yeah, but here's the point.
Skipping a morning show is more expensive than buying a private jet.
That's the other thing.
If I skip my morning show, it will cost me more than the price of a private jet.
Because we're talking about three segments plus an hour and a half long podcast, ad revenue, etc.
All at SponsorSpots.
D99tid... D9did?
Says, Tim, you need a successor or a co-host that can run the show for a day when you have stuff to take care of.
You are correct!
That is absolutely correct.
When we took off for the holiday, I thought about how Fox has... all the networks will just have the show run, but with someone else.
When Tucker is sick, he'll have someone come and fill in.
He won't just stop the show.
That's a really, really good point.
That's a really good point.
ReadyToRumble says, nobody loves Tim like Tim loves Tim.
I think that is absolutely not true.
Absolutely not true.
I consistently say I'm just a guy who's good at complaining on the internet.
I am surprised there are 23,000 people watching live right now.
I appreciate everybody who does, right?
Billy G says, just do it mobile or Mr. Private Jet.
Mobile's good.
Mobile's good.
I'm just saying.
Three first class tickets is going to run you between $3,000 and $6,000.
Ian would probably be a cool flying coach.
Luke would probably go, flying coach.
Me, if I have to, I will.
But dude, I got to tell you, man.
You get no sleep, and you're sick the next day.
I used to fly twice a week, when I worked for Vice and I worked for Fusion.
Fourteen votes for Donald's.
And, uh, it's, it's like, it's, it's taxing, man.
It's brutal, especially on long trips.
So, at a certain point, it's like, let's not cancel the shows, let's just spend the extra money and get it done.
Here we go!
The Defamation League says, Fact!
The Defamation League's demo track, Variant Q, is more effective at waking people up than coffee brand coffee.
Haha!
Let's Go Brandon says, Hey Tim, I have 14 years restaurant experience, including management.
Will you be hiring for the cafe?
And if so, do you know how to apply?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
We are going to be hiring.
Just not yet.
There's a lot we got to do.
So maybe we could use someone to help get it set up for the time being.
But there's a lot of... We got to get plumbing installed.
We got to get the coffee brand set up first.
So we're still a ways away.
That pilot guy says, hey Tim, check out Skyward Aviation.
We have a base in your area and can take you anywhere in the world.
And we do a little better than cold food in the bathroom.
Lots of us charter pilots watch you.
That would be very cool.
There's some local charter pilots.
But it's still really expensive, man.
Small planes, the way to go.
So the thing about Varajet that I was talking about, I had some issues with them.
They apologized to me, so we're going to give them a shot.
This jet is tiny.
It's like being in an SUV.
There's two seats up front, then there's two seats in the back, and then some kid seats.
Oh, there's three seats in the back.
So you get the pilot, and then four people, maybe two kids.
Or two small humans.
But this private jet is like... It is microscopic.
I'm not talking about a Gulfstream.
I'm talking about a very, very small... You're sitting with no bathroom, no food.
It's basically like being in the back of an SUV.
It's like being in the back of a car.
15 votes for Donalds.
That was Norman.
Let's see if we can make it a 20.
So, I think people are assuming private jet is like being on Trump 757.
Nah, like, take a look at some of these planes.
You know, you can get like, you know, single, like a turboprop, four or five seater, and they're relatively cheap.
Get this.
This one's gonna blow your mind.
Do you know how much it costs to buy a private jet?
You can get a private jet for about $8,000 per month.
Now, now, I know.
A lot of people are saying that's a lot of money.
Right, it is.
I'm saying a lot of people think you need $40 million to buy a Gulfstream.
It's finance.
The banks give these people loans on it.
So if you're one of these... I'll tell you what, man.
There are journalists who make half a million dollars a year.
You can call them journalists.
We'll do air quotes.
These guys are getting like 30 grand per month after taxes.
They could afford to finance a, let's say like a 1990 private jet, a 1990 model that's going for like a million bucks, and they're going to spend $5,000 a month to finance that.
Granted, don't get me wrong, you need a pilot, you need fuel, it's all very expensive, they're not going to be flying the thing.
I'm just saying.
It's not as expensive as people think.
The guys who are flying private, they're spending between like $30,000 and $50,000 per month to maintain the plane and the crew, like the pilots they have for it.
And then it's like landing fees are a few thousand dollars and fuel is a few thousand dollars.
So it's expensive, don't get me wrong.
But I think people assume it's like millions of dollars and you've got to be a billionaire.
Because Trump's got a 57.
That's crazy expensive.
That's crazy expensive.
But not as expensive as people think.
Then what happens is, get this, when they buy the private jet, they then sign it off to a charter company.
And the charter company then does bookings for people who only want to fly once or twice.
And I was told that some of these people make a million bucks a month by owning the jet.
That's crazy.
We got 17 votes for Donalds!
So here we go, ladies and gentlemen, we're coming down the homestretch.
That's a good point, that I need somebody who can fill in on shows when I'm not around.
That's a very, very good point.
We'll figure that one out.
I don't know, we'll figure it out.
Try and figure out who could be.
Michael Martin says, Tim, I spent the last month driving around the South and I'm still hurting.
It's obvious travel hurts the body.
Why do you let the rabble get to you when it comes to spending money to save the body?
It's not about the rabble getting to me, it's I'm trying to explain to people.
When I used to fly all the time, I did not understand this, and so I assumed like, let me tell you, let me do this, let me tell you a story.
Kanye West comes on the show, yay, and then he leaves the show, and a few hours later he's got a private jet waiting for him at the Frederick Municipal Airport.
Not possible.
I mean, it's possible physically, but I gotta tell you, man.
They were like, oh no, we just booked the plane once we left.
And I'm like, you got a crew to fuel a jet, prepare it, dispatch it from Mercer in New Jersey to fly to Frederick to pick you up at, you know, around 11, 1130 or midnight.
Within a few hours?
Sorry, I called like four different charter companies when we're trying to get back and our plane was busted because Southwest was failing and they all said, dude, impossible.
Sorry, man.
Can't do it.
Impossible.
So, look.
Sometimes it's possible.
Yeah, he's got a lot of money.
I just think he booked that in advance.
We got 18 votes for Donald's and we're only at the Rs.
Are we going to see 21 votes for Donald's?
I think so.
I think maybe.
I think maybe.
We'll see.
Ted2 says, only do live when there's a big story.
I like the topical segments.
I share them a lot.
Live stream's too long for most people.
No, no, Ted, hear me out.
We do a live stream and then the producer cuts those segments out so there's more of them.
You see?
And so I'll tell you this right now.
I got a bunch of stories that I could record a 10-minute segment on.
That are not that big for Tim Kest IRL for a conversation we probably wouldn't get into, but I probably could talk about in a morning show.
So let me, let me, let me, let me, let me give you one.
What do we got here?
Let's, uh, up top.
Americans largely expect political conflict this year.
Boom.
Ten minutes.
Easy.
We got elderly man.
What is that one?
He gets his face chewed off.
Boom.
Ten minute segment.
If I do the live show in the morning and I pull up these articles and then I talk about them for 10 minutes, we're gonna have like 8 segments in the morning.
Then we're gonna have TimCast IRL conversation segments.
I think it's the way to go, man.
I gotta figure it out.
Maybe we do a morning show like 9 to noon or something.
I don't know.
I kind of feel like I could go live forever.
And then I take off, eat lunch, exercise, and then get ready for IRL.
There's Scalise voting for Kevin McCarthy.
We got 19 votes for Donald so far.
I think we can expect at least 20 votes for Donald, but maybe we'll get more.
Maybe we'll get more.
Yeah, come on.
Sticks is huge!
Plus, he's not in the United States, I don't think.
Flagrant Trigger says, Tim, I have to thank you for doing an IRL with Gary, Nerdrotic.
Having him on led me to building a site and doing merch for Chrissy Mayer and working on a project with Gary.
Tell Luke he's got competition now, haha.
Right on, man, right on.
The Defamation League says, Get Andrew Tate as a co-host.
I think he's currently locked up, but that would be nice.
Shield Lab says, Tim, I work at a Comic-Con for a living year-round and I've done panels and shows and make film props professionally.
Would you be interested in teaming up to interview people at conventions like a pop culture and politics segment?
Maybe we have the pop culture crisis crew do it.
Here we go, let's see.
People are saying they think it's going to be 21, 22.
We got, there it is.
We got Self voting for Donalds, but Self voted for, he voted for Jordan the other day.
So, let's see, what are you guys suggesting?
That there's someone else who's gonna be... Someone says 21, 22, maybe 25.
Maybe.
unidentified
Maybe.
tim pool
We'll see, we'll see, we'll see.
Sticks lives in Vermont, but he's staying with his new Dutch wife.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
tim pool
There you go.
I don't know.
Here's what I think.
I don't think the best thing to do is to get someone with an established channel to fill in for me because they're already there.
It's to find that diamond in the rough and then bring them on as a potential co-host and then have them be on as like a relief.
Then we could do a lot more because I've got to tell you, you know.
I'll tell you the truth.
The truth is, if I got rid of The Morning Show, then TimCast IRL would get double the views.
So there's a diminishing return.
There's only so many fans who know about my content who watch it, and there's only so much of my content they can actually watch.
So I think on average, the average person who subscribes to my channels will watch between, like, six and eight segments, I think, per week.
So, we got the 20 votes for Donald's, let's see if it goes up one more.
And we're only in the S's.
But, uh, If I were to stop doing these segments, and then just directed all of you guys to the TimCast IRL segments, they would end up getting a lot more views.
I know this because we can see it happen on weekends when I don't do these segments.
Here's the reality.
I just like doing the morning segments.
I like talking about news.
I think I would like doing a livestream more, because as you can see, I've been talking for an hour non-stop.
Megan Cole says, Shane Cashman is always great on IRL. I'd love to see him on there more or the
morning show. I love the later morning live idea. I usually watch your daily shows after watching
Crowder. Maybe that's what we do. I think a morning live stream, broken up into segments,
maybe we do 8 to 10 a.m.
No, for real.
8 a.m.
to 10 a.m.
And then what we do is, we have the segments put up at like, at 10 o'clock, the first segment of the stream goes up, then 1 and then 4.
And that's how we could do it.
It's one way to do it.
And so it keeps that normal schedule up.
And then we get a morning show.
And then I think that's right before Steven Crowder.
So it would be perfect.
Everybody watches our show, switches to Crowder.
Segment scope for those that want to share segments.
There you go.
Someone asked, did AOC vote for Donald Trump?
No, I don't think she did.

21, 21, 21.

PhilThatRemains says, I'll do it, Tim.
Give me a call.
unidentified
Bro, let's talk, man.
tim pool
Phil Labonte, Morning Show and Relief co-host.
When can we have you back out, my friend?
That would be absolutely epic.
That would be amazing.
That would be great.
It's like, I have to go to the doctor because I fall and break my leg, and it's like, send in Phil Labonte, man.
Co-host the show, hang out with Ian, and have the crew going.
I think that could work out really well.
That would be super awesome.
Yeah man, no for real.
I'll fill that remains.
I will hit you up after I wrap up this stream.
And it should be fun.
Tritter says, Hey Tim, I'm looking into starting a small weekend business, mobile and power
washing or automotive related, alongside my 9 to 5 with similar values to yours.
I'm just tired of working for the man.
You know?
Richard Robertson says, I prefer the Timcast over the IRL show.
I gotta be honest.
I gotta be honest, you guys.
I was actually thinking about ending The Morning Show a while ago.
Because I'm like, Timcast IRL is so much bigger, with guests and everything, that it kind of felt like I was just dragging myself down by working so hard to do The Morning Show.
But I think The Morning Show makes IRL better.
And then I had a bunch of people reach out to me and say, I prefer the solo Timcast over IRL.
I don't watch IRL.
And I was like, really?
Now that's interesting.
Got 1.4 something million followers on IRL, 1.2 million, 1.33 million on Tim Pool, and 1.2 million here, which means there are some people who watch the TimCast channel who don't watch this.
A couple hundred thousand actually.
Same is true for IRL.
But then between the three, there are a lot of people who don't watch any of the other ones.
And so it is what it is.
So we'll figure out a way to keep going.
JMK says, no on Shane, Luke way better, yes on livestream.
I just, I think the livestream's so much more fun.
And I take a look at the success of Hasan Piker.
Really, you know, I don't dislike Hasan at all.
I know that I've tweeted at him and stuff like that.
I actually kind of like the guy.
I got some disagreements with him.
He praised my Elon tweet when I was ragging on Neuralink, and then he got mad that I walked it back a little bit.
Chill out, buddy.
He ragged on my music, seemingly for no reason, but he's got a good model.
He's a smart dude.
He figured something out.
That's true.
And I think it's a good model, and I think it's way more fun, way more interactive, as I mentioned earlier.
Trash Discourse says, Tim, I've been holding some big spaces and have someone that would be an excellent guest.
His name is Jay Sixer and has a major announcement coming Friday.
He's in West Virginia as well.
Alright, we'll check it out.
And for Phil, I don't know, man.
Like, you're going to be in West Virginia is the thing, right?
We're getting the new studio built.
It's going to be awesome.
And it would be cool to do a morning live show.
You know what would be cool?
Noah Sanders says, and then an uncensored after-morning show with Phil.
Dude, that would be so sick.
Phil, that would be awesome.
I'm a big fan.
DJ Kulting says, I only watch about 20% of IRL.
I watch every one of your solo segments.
unidentified
Hmm.
tim pool
Immortal Legends says, how about a morning show that you remote interview if people can't make your IRL show?
I don't like remote interviews.
It's hard.
I did one with Ben Shapiro and it was like an awkward back and forth.
I just don't know.
But here's what I'm saying to clarify for those that don't understand.
Let me show you this.
We got 20 votes for Donald's.
We're in the wilds.
I don't know if we're going to get 21.
But let me pull up this right here.
Here's a story from Post Millennial.
Elderly man has ear and part of face brutally chewed off in Portland train station attack.
This story is really interesting to talk about.
I would have talked about it in 2020 when I did three 10-minute segments.
I don't pull up stories like this anymore because they're short and they're not impactful.
This story is interesting, but it has nothing to do with the current state of politics, culture, social media, etc.
So I'm like, it's interesting.
I'm not going to make the cut.
I think that's unfortunate.
This is a hilarious and shocking and horrifying story to talk about that I think would be fun and people would want to watch, and it's probably more entertaining than me just complaining about culture war stuff all the time.
Doing a morning show, we can pull up segments like this, and then we can do six segments once again, hit everything in the first go, I think it'll work out really well.
And then what we do is, if Phil is down and comes out to West Virginia for a Monday through Friday morning show, it will be not so much conversational with the group and guests, it'll be more so talking about the news, having a little bit of back and forth.
It'll be something new and something different.
And I'll also mention this too, to be completely honest, it gets kind of boring waking up doing the same thing over and over again.
I want to do something new.
Splash some life into it.
Darla Red Snowbird says, maybe after Crowder, not much news happening first thing in the morning, maybe noon, plus you get to go to sleep.
You get to sleep in.
I wouldn't be able to sleep in.
I'd have to start doing the research on the stories to pull them up.
But after Crowder's probably a good idea.
And then what I'll do is I'll be like, Crowder, shout us out!
And then after Crowder wraps, people will be like, we're gonna go check out Tim's stream once Crowder's wrapped up.
That'd be cool.
Flagrant Trigger says you should work with Elon on a new press verification credential on Twitter.
Make journals work on a story, see if they report a correctly unbiased and genuinely framed to be a credible source.
Make news pure again.
It's hard to do.
You know, being the arbiter of who is a good journalist is not an easy thing.
So, uh, here we go.
We got one.
The Obsessed Anime Freak says same.
Watch Solo.
Hardly watch IRL.
If I do, usually bail and go watch Raging Golden Eagle on Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
You see, there are a lot of people who like this one more than the other one.
unidentified
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
tim pool
Someone voted present?
Who just voted present?
Yo, yo, yo.
Who was that?
Was that a Democrat?
Because they had 213, didn't they?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, man.
Someone voted present.
Who did we miss?
Did you guys see who did it?
Dermy Wormy says, Tim, invest in getting StreamYards.
It's a browser-based software, allows easy access for non-in-person guests.
The issue with digital guests is that it's hard to interact.
It's not a real human interaction because the lag, they're not in the same room, and then you're open up to a whole bunch of games where someone can be like, I'm gonna come on the show, and then all of a sudden it's Sam Seder, and you're like, oh, here we go.
I know it doesn't happen all the time, but it is a possibility.
Someone voted present.
So that was a Republican.
McCarthy should have gotten 203.
He got 201.
Yo, he lost another vote?
That's amazing.
So do we know who voted present?
Someone said, MTG just screwed us over.
Present.
Present basically means I'm here, but I'm not voting.
Like, I'm not gonna, you know.
Spartz voted present.
Wow.
Wow.
Adam Brenneman says, Phil, get better internet.
Liquid Sharingan says, Tim, I do not watch all your segments and or IRL consistently.
It depends on the guest or the story.
I hear that.
That's true.
Christina says, Luke Rutkowski would be a great co-host, but Luke is seasonal.
He's leaving soon, you know.
Daily Breakfast says, I watch all your segments like a top G. Top G!
Uh, yo, this is rad.
It's 1.15.
We got through our first vote.
I'm gonna wrap this one up here and then maybe I'll do another livestream in an hour because we're in a major historic moment and we're probably gonna have another vote coming up.
And so, uh, I don't know, man.
We're gonna figure it out.
One of the challenges with the structure I've done over the past year is that at 10 a.m.
I have this big news story.
Someone says, uh, talk faster, Tim.
Ben Shapiro may be watching.
Okay, I can talk a lot faster.
So, one of the biggest challenges with, uh, doing this structure as I have it now is that at 10 a.m.
there's a big news story, and so I wake up in the morning and I get this news story, and it's gonna be something like Donald Trump is announcing he's gonna be running for president, and then I do that in 10 a.m.
Then at 1 p.m.
we have something that's typically cultural, so I'll go to the Postmillennial, I'll read what they're talking about, and I'll go to TimCast.com and I'll look at these stories.
We got one like Elderly Man Gets His Face Chewed Off, but that's not big enough.
We have this one that's Las Vegas parents are suing because their kids are forced to look at X-rated material.
That's something interesting, culture war related.
Typically, I'll, okay, I'll slow down Typically I like to make the 1 p.m.
segment more about cultural issues, but the 4 p.m.
segment was always supposed to be like a big story for the day, and so what I used to do was 10 a.m.
was a cultural thing, 1 p.m.
was a cultural thing, and then 4 p.m.
was the big story.
The problem is, there could be like at 10 a.m.
a major breaking story that can't be ignored, like the Epstein stuff.
So at 4 p.m., what do I talk about?
And then it ends up becoming not so big.
Here's a plan.
YouTube.com slash TimCast becomes a morning live show.
We then take the segments and upload them to this channel as the solo TimCast segments.
We maybe bring on a light co-host, maybe someone like Phil Labonte if he's really interested, and that way it's still mostly the solo segment.
But there is someone there chiming in, helping source stories, and making a little bit conversational, but not as much as TimCast IRL.
Or maybe Phil just fills in when I have to go on vacation or something and he hosts the show outright.
That would be super cool.
Yeah, I'd be down for that.
So, someone said Tim should be a rapper.
You guys ever hear me read when I try to read fast?
It depends on how much coffee I've had, but if I have enough coffee, I can talk really, really fast.
Should be a rapper.
You know, the funny thing is that when I'm writing songs, I can make up a song on the fly and sing about anything, but I can't rap it.
You know what I mean?
Like, I've heard people freestyle rap really, really well, and they're saying all these things, and I'm just like, those words flow together so perfectly.
How do you do it?
I can take a guitar, I can take four chords, and I can sing, I can make up a story on the fly, and I can sing through, and it works.
It's weird.
It's weird that way.
Where we at?
Where we at?
Alessio De Monte says, I think, believe the reason why Trump endorsed McCarthy is to sabotage him.
Trump knows that his endorsement in Congress is poison.
He wants Jordan to be speaker.
I don't buy it.
G Kim says, Tim, you should do more live streams during the day.
Maybe we'll just start doing it.
Maybe I'll just start first thing next week.
You know?
It's going to be a lot less stressful, a lot easier.
I can hire someone to help, and I want to focus on doing more for the company and doing more for the culture.
That means setting up the coffee shop, but I don't have enough time to do it.
I can barely go to the bank.
This is a way to get more content out by bringing on people to help.
Someone just super chatted something about, uh... Did it just jump?
Is that what happened?
Here we go.
Sutton says, Anthony Brian Logan just uploaded a video with Marjorie Taylor Greene exposing the Matt and others having ulterior motives, but mostly, she says that she did not ask for a subcommittee spot.
What is true?
I don't know.
I mean, Marjorie Taylor Greene's with Trump, and Trump wants McCarthy, and that could be a big reason.
The Defamation League says, idea for the coffee shop, have a stage that during certain hours is open mic that is live streaming and let bands and comedians play impromptu sets first come first serve.
Brilliant idea.
We'll do it.
That's a really, really good idea.
If you are listening right now and you're involved in that in any way over at Timcast, mark that one down.
We can do open mic, come in, sign up, comedy, whatever, live streamed.
That'd be really, really cool.
There's gotta be some vetting process though, but we'll figure it out.
Maybe the live stream will just be on Rumble.
King James says, I like Timcast IRL, but Ian's anti-Christian rants.
Nah, man, you gotta understand.
You should not like... Look, if you're a Christian, you should not like Ian's opinion, but you definitely should like that he's saying them because he gets challenged.
If Ian... Look, a lot of people don't agree.
That's fine.
But if Ian doesn't present a contrarian view, the view doesn't get countered.
Oftentimes, Ian has said something like, he said a couple weeks ago, I like getting pulled over because the cops are keeping me safe.
And then Luke went off and he was like, no!
And then we were like, no!
You need, people need to hear that.
They need to hear why it's bad.
Ian presented a ridiculous argument, he's like, I stand by it.
Okay, dude.
But hey, man, Ian has really, really good points.
You gotta understand, he rolls 20s, man.
Last night, Ian said the reason it would be bad that Kevin McCarthy wins is because sometimes an investigation is worse than no investigation.
Why?
Because Kevin McCarthy is going to give a Oh, here we go.
money for an investigation and only allow them to investigate one document and then go,
guys, we investigated everything you asked for. Nothing was there. It was a waste of everyone's
time. But it wasn't a real investigation. And then the normies, this is what Ian's point,
he was like, then the normies think it's been debunked. And I'm like, that's a really good
point. I was a 20 right there. Sometimes the investigation is worse. Oh, here we go. Can
we hear what Matt Gaetz is saying? Matt Gaetz right now is basically, he's giving a speech
to everybody.
We'll see what happens, man.
Here we go.
Charlie Harris says, Tim, if a livestream will help reduce your work burden, do it.
Otherwise, you're already close to being overburdened.
Well, it's not about reducing my burden.
It's about maximizing time.
If I'm not doing this, if I do the morning show, if we do noon till 2, Uh, the challenge with that is, like, how do we get up that 10 a.m.
segment?
What would the timeframe for these segments be?
So, maybe 8 to 10?
I don't know.
Titan says, you didn't read my earlier Super Chat.
I'll try to read it, but I don't know how far back it goes.
Let me see if I can, uh, I can find it.
The idea is if we do it before Crowder, then we don't gotta cut into Crowder's time, and we still get our segment up at 10 a.m.
like we want to.
So that could be one option.
It's hard to tighten.
I'm trying to find your Super Chat.
It's hard.
There's too many.
Too many Super Chats.
Can't read every single one.
Was it early on?
Let me see if I can grab it.
Where are we at?
I don't know, man.
I can't find it.
You sure it went through?
I don't see anything.
Where was it?
Sorry brother.
I'm trying.
Can't find it.
Just superjet the same thing twice, I guess.
Sorry, man.
I don't want people to just spend money and then... But I can't read every single one.
Yeah, sorry.
I can't.
I can't find it.
I'm trying.
Alright.
Sorry, brother.
There's too many.
John S. says, Nah, I'm here for what Ian has to say.
I love that my guy thinks differently.
Agree with him or not, dude got bars.
Yo, Ian knows that people rag on him for his ideas and he says them anyway.
I think it's a good thing.
He's like a wild card.
I don't want to make a show that's a cookie cutter.
I gotta be honest.
I think if we got someone who played to the audience, we'd get way more viewers.
I just don't want to do that.
I don't want to be like, can we get some MAGA hat-wearing guy in here and just tell all the people what they want to hear?
I like the fact that Ian will say something that's good or bad and then force the conversation.
I don't like the semantic arguments that waste our time.
So I try to just be like, okay, you're moving on.
I don't like derailment.
But Ian does well enough to where... I gotta mention, yesterday...
That was a 20.
Probably the best thing said of the night was when Ian said, an investigation could be worse because they'll do a sham investigation to convince the normies it wasn't true.
And I was like, brother, you hit the nail on the head with the hammer.
That was good stuff.
So it looks like McConnell's lost another vote.
The next vote's gonna be coming up.
So, uh, here we go.
Bill M says, Benny Johnson says, McCarthy talking with Dems now to support a consensus candidate or asking them not to vote to lower thresholds so he wins.
I gotta say, man, I think MorningLive, I think this livestream, we've been going for like an hour and 20 minutes or whatever, was way better than just recording a segment.
First of all, I'm just going to tell you guys, super chat revenue right now on the thing is $1,800.
Here's what I'd like to do.
Start live streaming at 9 a.m.
and then just stream until like 2 p.m.
A straight raw hangout session, segments interspersed within that time frame.
I think I could do that.
Then we do IRL later that night with guests.
That would be awesome.
Captain Copperpot says, Red Maxine Waters is talking to GOP about voting McCarthy.
What happens if 20 Dems vote McCarthy?
McCarthy wins!
So be it.
You know, whatever.
I ain't gonna cry about it.
All right, we'll grab a couple more and then I gotta—we'll wrap up because I think I still—I still gotta record this segment for 4 p.m.
Cole says Crowder needs a platform, why not work with him?
Isn't Crowder doing his own thing?
Isn't Crowder doing Mug Club Forever or something?
Look man, Crowder could build a big network, you know?
Freedom Lover says Crowder left The Blaze so 10am is open.
I'm not gonna, I'm not, look, there's a lot of people who are like, I'm not gonna do a livestream at 8pm because that, you know, competes with IRL.
Bro, stream whenever you want.
I just do my thing.
I'm not- I'm not trying to sabotage Crowder, but- but yo, come on.
Like, I'm streaming right now.
Is it like Viva and a bunch of other people streaming too?
I'm not trying to take away from their viewership, but... I'm gonna do a stream when I do a stream, they're gonna do a stream when they do a stream.
We'll do it, right?
You know?
All right.
Clef the Misfit says, I don't care that Ian has contrarian opinions, but it does annoy me that he often presents non sequiturs that derail the conversation, almost like he's not even paying attention.
I talked to him about this.
I was like, bro, I like the bad opinions.
Like, I like opinions you have that I disagree with and I think are bad, because that means we're going to challenge those ideas.
But I said, listen, man, sometimes we'll be talking, and then you'll chime in and completely change the subject, and it breaks the flow of things, and it's like you weren't even listening.
And he agreed, and that was a while ago, and I think he's improved, but something he should pay attention to.
All right.
Vids of Doug W. says, Tim May.
Well, all right.
All right, guys.
Here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to wrap things up right now.
Yo, this was awesome.
Did a live stream on this channel.
We had something like 23,000 concurrent viewers.
That was cool.
Chat revenue is high.
6,000 likes.
Smash the like button.
I'm thinking for 2023, we're going to do a shift.
Morning live show.
Maybe we just do like nine to noon.
We do three hours.
And then I can do segments in between.
And that frees up a lot of the day.
Keeps a surprise to the news.
We bring in a co-host or somebody who wants to, you know, come out.
We'll figure it out.
I think that's the path forward.
But last year I was toying with doing live streams periodically when the news was big.
This story was big.
Took over.
Had to do a live stream.
Now I don't even know what I'm gonna do for 4 p.m.
This is big historic news.
I don't even know if I can do one.
Maybe I don't even need to.
I don't know, man.
I don't know.
But I need to find a producer who can work on the morning show and break the segments out.
Or I can probably do it myself, to be honest.
Try The Force says, I've been watching for years and I'm an IRL member.
I watch pretty much every segment of the week.
Usually listen to the podcast at work the day after.
Right on.
Charlie says, do you.
You really shine with your solo live streams.
You're a master of your fate.
You are the captain of your soul.
Thank you, sir.
We got a skate show coming.
We've got some pros who might be involved, who wanna host and do this show.
I'm really excited for this.
Like, legit, top-tier pro skateboarders who are coming out and being like, I'm done.
I'm done hiding.
And that's what we need.
So, I'm thinking, how can we free up time and make something bigger?
I think this is the path forward.
All right, one more regular chat.
MadeMinnesota says, this is embarrassing for McCarthy.
Dude should simply back out so they can get on with the job at hand, which is legislation.
Keep this up, he's going to cause a Dem speaker.
Steve says, please, 4 p.m.
segment.
I'm gonna wrap it up.
Here's what I'll say.
Donald's, 20 votes.
One vote present.
McCarthy lost another vote.
Huge.
Here's the plan.
Maybe starting next week, we'll see.
Morning Show, co-host, still with solo segments, but more solo segments.
So it would be me talking for 20 minutes, 20 minutes, 20 minutes, and that's one of the hours.
But with two or three hours, we get in a bunch of 10-minute segments as well.
We put those segments on this channel.
We put the live show at youtube.com slash timcast.
Change things up.
I think that's a path forward.
I think it'll make my job easier.
It will give you guys more segments.
It'll allow me to cover more news.
I think it could work.
It'll give me more time in the day to do more work.
I'm gonna wrap it up there, guys.
Stick around.
I'm gonna try and have that segment done for 4 p.m.
It's already 1.30, which means I gotta hustle, and then we'll see how things play out.
Maybe I'll just keep going the way things are going, but I think a morning live show is better.
I think live is the way to do it.
YouTube's really been giving live shows a boost.
I can't just keep doing the same old thing.
We gotta shift things around and keep things lively.
We'll do that.
We'll see how it plays out.
Thanks for hanging out, everybody, and I will see you all for that 4 p.m.
