tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So we got this story from Timcast News.
		Rep Matt Gaetz says he will resign from Congress if Democrats join up to elect a moderate Republican speaker.
		So is he basically saying if Kevin McCarthy wins?
		Because I don't think anybody expects Kevin McCarthy to be anything other than a Democrat driving the speed limit.
		And it would also suck a whole lot if Matt Gaetz resigned, but I get it, man.
		For those that are just tuning into this segment, we're trying out a new format for the show.
		Your chat is not appearing above me, even though it's supposed to, because we're also simultaneously live.
		But let's read up about what's going on, and I'll give you the quick context.
		I think most of you already know that Kevin McCarthy has lost 11.
		It's 11, right?
unidentified		11.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		11 speaker votes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It has now been the longest.
unidentified		What are you doing?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's fine, you know.
		If I ask, I need help.
		But 164 years since it has gone this long to elect a Speaker of the House.
		Today, I guess it's going to go to the 12th vote, and I think it's probably going to be a big waste of time.
		Members of Congress last night, they vote to adjourn.
		It's, in my opinion, a big waste of time.
		But they should still stay there.
		They shouldn't be allowed to leave.
		They should be forced to do their jobs.
		So the latest news after last night was that Matt Gaetz says he's going to resign.
		He's getting trolled over it.
		House Democrats signal support for GOP candidate if they allow Democrats to have subpoena power.
		That is the most apocalyptic and insane thing I've ever seen.
		There's potentially a deal being reached.
		So let's get through this.
		And then I love this one.
		The Washington Post says, with the house in chaos, C-SPAN shows footage Americans don't usually see.
		Are you serious?
		Like, when Nancy Pelosi takes over the house or whatever, or I don't know, I guess a Republican speaker, C-SPAN isn't allowed to actually film what's really going on?
		I think that's absolutely insane.
		So smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends.
		Let's read this story from TimCast.com.
		This is, uh, who wrote this one?
		We got, uh, Cassandra Fairbanks wrote this one.
		Florida Rep Matt Gaetz said that he is so sure that Democrats will not vote to elect a moderate Republican House Speaker that he will resign from Congress if they do.
		Rep Kevin McCarthy had failed 11 votes for the position as of Thursday evening, primarily due to the House Freedom Caucus, of which Gaetz is a member.
		The 12th ballot is scheduled to take place on Friday at noon.
		Gates is one of the most vocal members voting against McCarthy.
		In fact, I'd say he is the most vocal.
		He nominated Trump yesterday, and I was—he made my day very fun and funny.
		Thank you, Matt Gaetz, for that.
		I appreciate it.
		I really do.
		He discussed the issue during an interview on Fox News with Laura Ingraham, quote, Are you going to be okay, Congressman?
		Will you be okay, then, if there's ultimately a deal struck with moderate Democrats, if Democrats kind of co-control committees?
		You're fine with that?
		Gates began to reply, no, absolutely not.
		That will not happen.
		There are two scenarios here.
		However, the Fox has promptly cut him off and said, well, that could happen.
		I'm going to pause and say, I don't think that could happen.
		I mean, physically, it could happen.
		Literally, I don't think it will.
		No, listen, Gates responded.
		I'm on the floor, Laura.
		These 212 Democrats are going to vote for Hakeem Jeffries every single time.
		He's a historic candidate for them.
		They are not going to cleave off under any circumstance.
		95% agree with Matt Gaetz here.
		There is a potential, as we've seen with Ro Khanna, I think it's Ro Khanna saying, like, look, you give us no subpoena power for Republicans and then we'll vote for McCarthy or something like that.
		The issue, however, is that I think because Democrats are such a cult That it would be politically apocalyptic for their campaigns and careers in the next year or so if they come out a Democrat voting for a Republican speaker.
		Because, what you got to understand my friends, despite the fact that they may claim otherwise, the Democrats survive on ignorant voters.
		That means there will be a whole bunch of Democrat, low political knowledge voters, and they see someone who's a Democrat vote for a Republican, and then the hit pieces come out.
		During the open primaries, there's going to be some establishment Democrat Saying, Ro Khanna voted for a Republican for Speaker of the House.
		You can't trust him.
		And then these Democrats are going to be like, you're right.
		He did vote for a Republican.
		And that's it.
		It doesn't matter why.
		It doesn't matter if it's strategic.
		It doesn't matter if it actually helps them win.
		All that matters is it looks bad if you are in a cult and supporting someone who is not in your cult.
		And I want to give a shout out to all the Democrats and leftist personalities who think Trump supporters are in a cult, despite the fact that Donald Trump came out endorsing Kevin McCarthy and Matt Gaetz endorsed Trump, and then in response to Trump endorsing McCarthy, he went sad.
		Like, actually kind of disrespectful to Trump.
	See, this is what they don't understand.
	It's not authoritarian.
	It's not a cult.
	It's that Trump is a symptom, not the cause of.
	People are mad in this country.
	Moderates and Independents especially.
	Trump supporters, they want revenge.
	Moderates and Independents want something different.
	Trump embodied that to the best of his abilities.
	People voted for him.
	I didn't the first time.
	I did the second time.
	Now, I don't care what Trump says about McCarthy.
	I think for myself and clearly Matt Gaetz does as well.
	The reality is, Gates is right.
	They're going to keep voting for Hakeem Jeffries because they're in a cult.
	But let's talk about the potential for what might actually happen.
	From the post-millennial, House Democrats signal support for GOP candidate if they allow Democrats to have subpoena power.
	Admittedly, This scares me.
	I think this would be absolutely apocalyptic if this were to happen.
	Congressional Democrats are considering voting for a Republican if the candidate meets certain requirements as the House GOP enter another day of voting for Speaker.
	After seven rounds of voting, Representative Kevin McCarthy of California... This is obviously from yesterday.
	They say he's not garnered enough support.
	Democratic Rep Ro Khanna, speaking to Neil Cavuto of Fox News, said on Wednesday, I would consider the right Republican someone I could trust, Brian Fitzpatrick, Mike Gallagher, who actually spoke eloquently on the floor, David Joyce.
	On Twitter, Charlie Cook wrote, if D.C.
	Republicans allow the standoff to end with a Democrat speaker or a coalition choice, they will lose 100 seats in 2024.
	Labie Emmons replied, this would be unforgivable.
	But there needs to be two conditions.
	One, so this is Ro Khanna, you can't have a debt ceiling debate or shutdown as something that takes the country hostage.
	And two, there has to be some agreement on subpoena power.
	I'm open to a Republican who could work to put the interests of the American people first.
	No Democrat should have say in subpoena power in a GOP Congress.
	That's a bright red line, Jack Posobiec says.
	Breitbart reports that two of the GOP that Khanna named, Joyce, a Republican, and Fitzpatrick are members of the GOP's business-backed pro-amnesty wing, despite GOP voters' deep opposition to labor migration.
	Those two congressmen supported legislation in 2021 that would enable farming companies to use migrant labor who would receive citizenship for their work.
	In his interview with Cavuto, Kana said that he would not support McCarthy.
	Kevin McCarthy has failed on several votes to attain the threshold needed to become Speaker of the House of Representatives.
	Republicans hold 222 members in Congress.
	McCarthy needs 218 votes.
	5 votes.
	Breaking from McCarthy, and he loses.
	And we've seen that so far.
	My stars and garters.
	We've seen it so far 11 times!
	It is scary, and I will say it again.
	If Ro Khanna were to support some establishment moderate Republican, and I'll tell you, it gets worse than just that.
	Because Matt Gaetz is saying he would resign.
	And if he's true to his word, it's a tough position to be in.
	If someone actually breaks, strips subpoena power from Republicans, this will be a failed midterm.
	And it was already a bad midterm for people who want accountability as it is.
	I suppose here's the alternative, my friends.
	How many of you, and I mean this, ask a serious question, you know, let me know in the comments.
	How many of you would be satisfied with a Democrat or moderate Republican speaker if it meant that Kevin McCarthy loses?
	The emotional devil sitting on my shoulder is laughing, saying, yes.
	Let him lose.
	It's not his turn.
	He has no right to this seat.
	And if we don't get someone good, what's the point anyway?
	I'll tell you, man, we said this over and over again throughout the past year.
	What does it matter if the Republicans win, if you get a Kevin McCarthy anyway?
	They will basically just give you sham investigations, no accountability.
	It will be no different than if you have a Democrat.
	Okay, let's be real.
	It'll be slightly different.
	There will be a facade of accountability and nothing will get done.
	So in the end, As much as there is a logical portion of me scared that there will be no subpoena power, I'm kind of like, are they going to actually wield subpoena power as it is anyway?
	Or is it going to be a big fat waste of our time?
	And shout out to our good friend Ian Crossland, who rolled one of the hardest 20s of his commentary career when he said, no investigation could be better than an investigation if they do a sham investigation to placate the normies.
	And I just was like, Ian.
	That was brilliant.
	And he really nailed it.
	Kevin McCarthy gets in, gives some low-budget garbage, says do the investigation, and then you actually just don't get anything.
	What's the point?
	What do we got going on?

		I'll just keep going.
		Look, ladies and gentlemen, we're just winging it.
		We'll get better.
		The chat box disappeared again.
		This is fun.
		It's fun.
		We're doing the segment.
		We're getting it going.
		See what you can do.
		I'll just keep going out with the news and the stories.
		Man, I've been working too much.
		You can hear it in my voice.
		Yikes.
		That's going to be a bad thing.
		Here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
		We have this news from this morning on this, the anniversary of January 6th.
		Tentative deal reached between Freedom Caucus and McCarthy.
		And I love this image.
		Who made this?
		It's like two guys in suits.
		One guy's wearing a vest but no tie.
		The other guy's wearing a tie and he's shaking his hand.
unidentified		Alright, alright.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		According to multiple media outlets, House Republicans in Kevin McCarthy's corner have come to a tentative agreement with representatives of the Freedom Caucus that would see McCarthy take control of the House as Speaker.
		Look, I like the Freedom Caucus.
		I'd defer to them.
		I like what Matt Gaetz is doing standing up to the machine.
		I will defer to them.
		I don't know exactly what the right path is forward, but I know there's got to be some resistance, some defiance, to show the establishment they must negotiate.
		Lauren Boebert went on Michael Knowles' show last night and she made some really excellent points.
		In the summer, the Freedom Caucus went to Kevin McCarthy and said, here are the things we need.
		And he said, I don't need your votes.
		Why?
		They thought the red wave was going to be so amazing.
		That they're going to have 240, 250 seats in the House and 1920 people from the Freedom Caucus would not matter.
		Boy, that one really blew up in their faces.
		Turns out the red wave was not nearly as pronounced as they thought it would be.
		They ended up narrowly winning.
		I still think it's a victory.
		It's good.
		We'll take it.
		But now they desperately need the Freedom Caucus and they don't have it.
		So I want you to imagine what it must be like to be someone like Matt Gaetz or Lauren Boebert.
		In good faith, you go to Kevin McCarthy and you say, give us these things.
		We're good.
		They want accountability for the speaker.
		They want real investigations, among other things.
		And he says, ha ha ha, get the F out of my office.
		Then, when the Republicans fail partly because of Kevin McCarthy, he comes crawling back and says, okay, I need your votes.
		Yo, I would be doing the exact same thing Matt Gaetz is doing.
		However, we're now hearing there may be a deal which could be coming up later in this day.
		Here's the story.
		TimCast.com, this is Brett McDonald writing reports.
		According to multiple media outlets, House Republicans in Kevin McCarthy's corner have come to a tentative agreement with representatives of the Freedom Caucus that would see McCarthy take control of the House as Speaker.
		In exchange, his coalition is reportedly offering several concessions to the Freedom Caucus who have successfully blocked his ascension over the course of 11 votes.
		Here's the quote.
		It won't be easy, automatic or immediate, according to Haas lawmakers who themselves were processing the information in real time as details of the deal emerged.
		But a written framework for the rules of the 118th Congress was released on Thursday that McCarthy's allies hope will allow Many of the GOP lawmakers who have been voting against McCarthy all week to eventually support him.
		Lawmakers said the framework gives members of the House Freedom Caucus who have been resisting McCarthy virtually everything they've been asking for.
		That includes a stronger House Freedom Caucus representation on key House committees, guardrails aimed at curbing excessive federal spending, and allowing just a single member of the House to make a motion to replace the Speaker.
		Ooh, I love that last one!
		Lawmakers familiar with the framework told Fox News.
		Hear, hear!
		Look, man, before I went to Turning Point USA, I didn't know a whole lot about Lauren Boebert.
		I was just like, I know who she is, obviously.
		It is whatever.
		Then I got a chance to meet her.
		The thing that stands out the most is, you know, we talked a little bit.
		We were at the Veritas party and then at Turning Point, and she's genuine.
		I respect it.
		Luke asked her about a church commission, and she said, yes, we want that.
		I don't know if, you know, I don't know to what extent people are, you know, trying to keep some of this stuff private, but look, she said it.
		And Luke's, you know, eyes lit up because Luke's an anti-government guy.
		You guys know Luke Rutkowski.
		He's an anti-government guy.
		So when he hears church commission, investigation, and inquiries into what the intelligence agencies are doing, he's excited.
		To see someone like Luke be like, okay, I'm interested in this, for what Lauren Boebert has to say.
		Very, very good stuff.
		To hear that one of the things she's pushing forward is that a single member of the House can make a motion to replace the Speaker?
		That's a Republican telling a Republican Speaker any individual can replace them.
		You guys realize that means a Democrat, too.
		I'm all for it.
		Imagine if under Nancy Pelosi, the squad members, or a Republican, were able to challenge the Speaker.
		I dig it.
		If they win on this, this will be a tremendous victory.
		So good work to the Freedom Caucus guys.
		And it's not just Beau Britton Gates, but they're the ones who stand out.
	Obviously they're very prominent, but you've got Biggs, you've got a handful of other people in there.
	Byron Donalds, shout out as well.
	On Twitter, CBS News' Robert Costa, who said he spoke to several Republicans who were briefed on talks held by decision-makers early Thursday evening, described the agreement as one that makes the House Freedom Caucus central to every aspect of the Republican control of the House.
	Quote, If this deal goes through and McCarthy becomes Speaker, you're looking at a House where the Freedom Caucus is at the table on all big things.
	Look, the people we've had on this, on TimCast IRL, I was gonna say this show, on TimCast IRL, mainly the people we've really gotten along with, and I think most of you as well, are the Freedom Caucus people.
	Hands down.
	And we don't agree on everything.
	But we bring in some of these more establishment types, and they're like, no, no, we can't impeach Joe Biden, that would be inappropriate and against the rules.
	We bring in the Freedom Caucus people, and they're like, we should investigate Joe Biden immediately, and if it warrants impeachment, we should.
	Yo, I dig it.
	A source who spoke to Costa described the agreement as if former Republican Speaker John Boehner were to welcome the Tea Party into leadership positions in 2011.
	Others allegedly told the NBC Reporter the deal could prevent McCarthy from negotiating any compromise with the Biden administration.
	Leaving Congress in deadlock once again.
	I'll also accept that.
	Costa also strongly reiterated rumors that Freedom Caucus members were able to receive assent to one of their most significant asks, that the motion to vacate the position of Speaker be initiated by a single Republican.
	Okay, so not a Democrat-Republican.
	McCarthy had hoped that a five-member minimum would be required to challenge his authority should the agreement come into force.
	You know, look, I'd take a five-member minimum as well, because you can easily get five Freedom Caucus members and five squad members.
	I would absolutely, I'd be totally fine with that rule if it meant Democrat or Republican.
	I just, I mean it.
	Let's play the risks.
	I understand.
	You're going to get AOC, you're going to get progressives, you're going to get corporate shill Democrats, and they're going to try and challenge the speakership.
	But you have the majority, meaning the Democrats can try, the Republicans will block it.
	If the Freedom Caucus is getting what they want, and the established Republicans are getting what they want, they'll block it.
	If, however, McCarthy goes full shill establishment neocon garbage, or Democrat garbage, all it will take is for the Freedom Caucus people to initiate that challenge, and if Republicans get mad as well, they could push back.
	Let's be real, though.
	The established Republicans and establishment Democrats are not going to challenge either speaker.
	So, in the end, it's very much, in my opinion, symbolic.
	Still something good to have.
	Because it means that you can bring to the floor, bring the challenge, and force it up for a vote.
	That's a good thing.
	Well, I don't necessarily know how it would play out.
	But the idea that you could make something bigger of it, as opposed to just being poo-pooed, is good.
	Let the Democrats challenge the Republicans.
	Let the Republicans challenge the Democrats.
	I do think there is probably some pushback because the idea is Democrats would never do this to themselves.
	That's something Republicans should probably be worried about.
	The last thing I want to hit in this segment, something I think y'all need to understand, from the Washington Post.
	With the house in chaos, C-SPAN shows footage Americans don't usually see.
	These photos of everyone sitting next to each other, Nancy Pelosi smiling in the seats, Marjorie Taylor Greene sitting next to Matt Gaetz.
	There was a moment that happened I can't remember exactly when it was.
	It was the impeachment, I think.
	I don't know.
	I don't remember.
	Lindsey Graham fist bumps Kamala Harris.
	And that was a wake-up call for a lot of people.
	A lot of what you see between these people is performative.
	They want you to think that they oppose each other when they actually don't.
	They want you to think that they are standing strong and standing with you.
	Fellow Republican, I will challenge these Democrats.
	Mark my words, don't let the cameras watch what happens next as I walk over smiling and laughing and shake the hand of Nancy Pelosi and say, don't worry, we're not going to go against you at all.
	That was just for the cameras.
	That's the game they play and they all know it.
	They're going to make the phone calls, they're going to run the commercials, they're going to pretend to be opposition, and all they're really doing is having a popularity contest to see who they can convince the most that they're actually on your side.
	When in reality, a good majority of these people go out to dinner with each other, they laugh about how they're not really in opposition, They're a handful of good people, though.
	A small handful, unfortunately.
	I wish there were more.
	But a small handful of good people, like the Freedom Caucus, who say legitimately, we want something.
	We want something different.
	I can't remember who it was speaking yesterday, so forgive me, but it was one of the Freedom Caucus guys who got up, I don't think it was Chip Roy, and he said, we can't just elect McCarthy.
	The American people expect something different, something new.
	And he's right, man.
	Because if at the end of the day, the only thing I could tell you is, I don't want old guard leadership, I want something different, that means no to McCarthy.
	If that means Jim Jordan, fine.
	And I'm not even convinced Jim Jordan's the right guy.
	If that means Byron Donalds, even better.
	He seems like younger, fresh blood.
	I will take anything other than McCarthy, who entertained the Putin garbage, who blamed Trump for January 6th, and Shout out to Laura Loomer, who's posting this commercial on her Twitter feed, is not doing anything for the January 6th defendants, many of whom have not been charged and are sitting in solitary confinement.
	Many of whom trespassed and were locked up for a year.
	This is not a right.
	This is cruel and unusual punishment.
	It is not a speedy trial.
	It is absurd.
	I think January 6th is bad.
	On this year, the anniversary of January 6th, I think it was a bad day.
	A very, very bad day.
	The violence in the front of the building, very, very bad.
	But we need leadership that's going to actually, for one, push back on the January 6th Committee, get the footage released, all the hours they're withholding, all the evidence, and make it clear to the American people that January 6th Committee was one big dumb sham.
	Now, as I wrap up this segment, I will just add, for those that are watching, this has been like a trial run for the new morning show we're going to be doing.
	I'm already having a whole lot more fun.
	It's way less stressful.
	It's way easier to do.

	We'll see y'all then.
	Alright everybody, we have this story from ABC News.
	New York okays human composting law, sixth state in the U.S.
	to do so.
	New York Governor Kathy Hochul has signed a law making her state the sixth in the nation to allow human composting as a method of burial.
	I am torn on this one.
	Part of me, I don't care.
	You know, when I die, stick me in the ground, throw me in the trash, let my body decompose.
	The concern here is, the composting portion of it implies that you will use the human body's materials for food of some sort.
	And you don't believe me now, but we know about the grooming story, right?
	We hear this, and I'm not going to get too much into it because it's not about grooming, but they say, Drag Queen Story Hour.
	And they're like, it's totally fine and totally normal if someone wants to read a book to a bunch of kids.
	They're just reading.
	It's no big deal.
	But their drag queen's doing it.
	Then the next thing they do is we're doing a drag queen show for kids.
	It's just dancing.
	Then you see what happens in Texas and all of a sudden now they're like simulating adult activities.
	That's the grooming portion.
	We are being groomed right now to eat human.
	That is my belief.
	I'm not saying it's a grand conspiracy.
	I'm not saying the government's trying to do it.
	I'm saying there are people who are in media who are trying to get you to be okay with eating people.
	Here's how they do it.
	It's composting!
	No, no, no.
	We're not saying you'll eat people.
	In fact, some of these laws, and this is true, Some of these laws say you cannot use human compost for farm products.
	Things like that.
	But here's what happens.
	This is step one.
	They tell you it's innocuous, it's no big deal.
	The next thing they do is they'll say it's only used for, if it does end up in food, it's only for livestock.
	But then you're eating a pig that ate corn that grew from a corpse.
	You see how they're getting there?
	And if you don't believe me, let me tell you where this ends up.
	Wired wrote this article in 2021.
	It's actually, it's an enthralling article.
	The Case for Cannibalism.
	And you've seen it.
	There have been many stories that have gone viral talking about why people should eat people.
	In fact, in this Wired article, it says you're a xenophobe if you don't want to eat people.

		They do mention that.
		Don't eat the brain.
		I don't want to eat a human being.
		You know, is it xenophobic?
		No!
		It's a safety thing.
		Humans don't eat other humans, they don't want to, because there are problems, there are diseases and issues with eating other people, and because we genuinely try to preserve life, we treat ourselves different from animals.
		But here they have the article.
		How about this?
		Let's read about how they're going to start composting humans.
		In New York, of all of the things that could be happening, this is it.
		They want you to eat people.
		ABC News reports, Howard Fisher, a 63-year-old investor living north of New York City, has a wish for when he dies.
		He wants his remains to be placed in a vessel broken down by tiny microbes and composed into rich, fertile soil.
		Maybe his composted remains could be planted outside the family home in Vermont, or maybe they could be returned to the Earth elsewhere.
		Whatever my family chooses to do with the compost after it's done is up to them.
		You see, that's where they're going.
		Look, my personal preference, Viking Funeral.
		If I die, If.
		Put me on a boat, kick me out into the middle of the ocean, flaming arrow, and that's not composting, but then your remains convert to carbon and whatnot, go up into the atmosphere and become one with nature in that way.
		I would prefer not that my body decompose in the family garden and then plants grow from it.
		That sounds kind of weird.
		But here we go.
		At first they said, the compost can't be used in these ways.
		Now it's a guy saying, I don't care what they do with it afterwards.
		Yeah, right.
		They're going to start growing corn just like in that Johnny Depp movie.
		Quote, I am committed to having my body composted and my family knows that.
		But I would love for it to happen in New York where I live rather than shipping myself across the country.
		So they're going to mention that HOCL has signed legislation, this is on December 31st, to legalize natural organic reduction.
		Pop your little—natural organic reduction.
		You see?
		They're even giving it some convoluted name to make you okay with it.
		Popularly known as human composting.
		Making New York the sixth state to do it.
		The process goes like this.
		The body of the deceased is placed into a reusable vessel along with plant materials such as wood chips, alfalfa and straw.
		The organic mix creates the perfect habitat for naturally occurring microbes to do their work, quickly and efficiently breaking down the body in about a month's time.
		The end result is a heaping cubic yard of nutrient-dense soil amendment, the equivalent of 36 bags of soil, that can be used to plant trees or enrich conservation land, forest, or gardens.
		For urban areas such as New York, where land is limited, it can be seen as a pretty attractive burial alternative.
		There are really good arguments.
		We got all this sweet, sweet nutrient-dense material in our bodies.
		Throw us into the forest, let nature reclaim it, and trees may grow.
		But I tell you where this goes, and it goes soylent green.
		It is grooming towards cannibalism.
		Don't believe me?
		Fine.
		I don't care.
		But you saw what happened in San Antonio with the grooming.
		They do it increment by increment, and maybe it's not on purpose.
		But if you open the door to human composting, the next step is farming from human compost.
		The next step is animal agriculture from human composted remains.
		How long, then, until they say, someone died?
		Feed their body to the pigs!
		Let the pigs eat it!
		Why let it go to waste?
		How long after that are we eating those pigs, and how long after that are we saying, cut out the middleman, eat the person?
		I don't trust it.
	Axio says human composting is a hot new burial alternative.
	And look what they use for the image on this article.
	A skull wrapped in the Recycle logo.
	Why it matters.
	Deciding what should be done with your remains is a deeply personal matter.
	California recently became the fifth state to legalize human composting, through which a person's remains are turned into usable soil.
	Okay, on the surface, many people are gonna be like, yeah, well, so what?
	Look, I've never been a fan of the ceremonial burial and embalming process, because my view is, when I die, I don't want to be preserved, locked in a box and buried.
	I want to decompose.
	That's fine.
	I certainly don't want my compost to be used for farming.
	That's why I'm saying Viking Funeral.
	Put me in a boat, kick me out to sea, flaming arrow.
	But we are now on six states that are allowing human composting, which brings me to this actually really good article from Wired from two years ago.
	Now, I certainly don't agree with their assessments, don't get me wrong, but it actually is really interesting.
	The Case for Cannibalism, How to Survive the Donner Party.
	Don't be a young, healthy single man.
	That's our first piece of advice.
	The first thing I want to say is, it's not a good article in terms of its premise, in terms of its advocacy.
	It's really interesting, however, to learn about the Donner Party.
	They say, let's say you want to strike it rich.
	The year is 1846 and you're somewhere in the Midwest pulling potatoes out of the ground.
	But you're tired of pulling potatoes.
	You want to pull gold.
	And maybe you've heard the rumors.
	People are finding fortunes in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
	So you hitch up your Conestoga wagon, very cool by the way, and head west.
	Joining that year's convoy of California-bound immigrants.
	On July 20th, you and the rest of these early pioneers find yourselves staring at a crossroads in what is today southwest Wyoming.
	Like them, you'll face a choice.
	Turn right or turn left.
	Both trails lead to California.
	But the trail to the right detours far north.
	It meanders deep into Idaho before it reverses course and turns back south into eastern Nevada.
	The left trail eschews the northern deviation, takes a straight shot across Utah, and in doing so removes almost 350 miles from your journey.
	So let's say you look at a map, note the faster route, and decide to turn left.
	At the time, it seems like a wise choice.
	Andrew Hastings, an adventurer and respected guide, had just scouted this shortcut on horseback the winter before and advertised his new cutoff in his guidebooks.
	And postings along the trail.
	Most of the convoy, fearful of the unknown and unwilling to trust one person's word, turn right.
	But you're not the only one keen to arrive early in California.
	When you turn left on that July day, twenty other wagons do the same.
	After a few uneventful days, you and the rest of those previously unconnected pioneers will caravan together for safety.
	Following some debate, you'll elect a nice, older, wealthy fellow as a leader of your party.
	His name is George Donner.
	So it's interesting.
	Long story short, there was no path.
	There was no trail.
	They had to carve their way through the mountains.
	And it wasn't a shortcut.
	It was actually very, very difficult.
	Now, it's funny.
	You can call it a shortcut.
	Because if the path was going to be easier, it would just be the way.
	But it's not the way because there was no shortcut.
	All in all, what ends up happening is, as they get trapped in this valley, they can't make it through the mountains, people start dying off.
	What was really interesting about this article is you learn, and I don't really know this, I don't know a lot about the Donner Party, most of the people refused to eat human.
	And then they died.
	The first people to die were young men.
	And this is really funny.
	It says, don't be a young healthy man.
	You know why?
	Women have more body fat stores and the men were sacrificing themselves for the women.
	Isn't that funny how that goes?
	Ah man, modern feminists, am I right?
	The young men were doing the work, were carving the roads, were looking for food, burning calories, breaking down, and starving to death.
	The women were typically sitting around and doing much less, burning less calories, having more fat, and they survived.
	This is what nature does.
	Because men are expendable.
	As much as many people don't want to hear it, and I'm not saying that as a political statement, I'm saying it as a natural statement.
	Males can die, but as long as one male survives, there can be reproduction.
	But if you have no females to have children, then that's it.
	So the males end up becoming expendable, that's the trade-off.
	Here's what I want to get to in this article that I find actually really hilarious.
	Xenophobia.
	They write, when I asked Shutt how the cannibalism taboo became strong enough that a person might die rather than break it, he says it's partly due to its antiquity.
	People have feared and despised cannibals for so long that it may feel as if you're breaking some law of nature.
	When you're breaking off a rib.
	But what you're actually doing is breaking a social norm invented by a few xenophobic ancient Greeks.
	That's right!
	Just xenophobes!
	You know, they were racist bigots who didn't like eating people.
	I have no idea how this argument is supposed to make sense.
	Is the argument that the Greeks found a native Pacific Islander or something eating human and said, oh, egad!
	Is the argument that the Aztecs were sacrificing people and they were South American cannibals and the noble colonizers came and were just like, oh, oh, well, I never!
	And they were all racist?
	Is that it?
	I shouldn't say noble if their argument is they're colonizers.
	That's the argument?
	How about if you eat human you get diseases from those humans?
	How about we try to preserve human life so we have a taboo against eating humans?
	How about we love and respect other humans and hold them higher than we hold animals.
	And thus, when a person dies, we hold in honor their remains.
	That I understand.
	And if you eat someone's brain, you can get, what is it called, encephalopathy or something?
	You can get the shakes, prion disease.
	Very, very bad.
	Simply put, when a human being dies, we feel bad.
	And we don't want to desecrate the remains.
	It's not xenophobic.
	I don't care what other... Like, I think cannibalism is bad.
	But it's not like, I hate this group of people over here who eat humans, therefore I think cannibalism... No!
	I think when someone dies, we cry that person's dead, and then we honor their remains.
	We don't eat them.
	Here's where we're going though.
	I think you've got people like Bill Gates, you've got prominent wealthy individuals around the world who are concerned about this population bomb theory.
	What's the guy's name?
	Like Paul Ehrlich or something?
	He's been in the news recently because he's been just abysmally wrong over and over again about overpopulation.
	And these people think we're going to run out of resources.
	Truth be told, I think it is entirely possible we do, because resources are not finite.
	I don't know if we're at that point just yet, and I also believe humans invent things to solve problems.
	Go back to the turn of the century, 1900s, they were all saying that there's going to be mounds of horse crap in the streets of New York, making it impossible to live, because more people meant more horses meant too many horses crapping.
	And then what happened?
	We invented the car.
	Now, there was no horse crap.
	Now, they're complaining about auto emissions.
	Yeah, well, then Elon Musk makes electric cars.
	So, if you think there's a problem with overpopulation, I would say I hear you out.
	Obviously, resources are finite.
	I don't think cannibalism is the solution.
	I think just, I don't know, space colonization or something like that.
	Or, I don't know, just general recycling, I guess.
	They're trying to get us into this headspace because they believe we will consume too much of the Earth's natural resources and we have to put them back.
	And that means composting people and eventually, Soylent Green.
	Here they go.
	Shutt has traced the earliest examples of the taboo in Western culture to come from some of the earliest Greek stories, such as the tale of Polyphemus and Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey.
	In what may be the first example of a writer depicting cannibalism as the act of a monster,
	the Cyclops Polyphemus catches Odysseus and his men stealing from him and in turn begins
	eating them one by one until Odysseus blinds the giant.
	The Greeks used cannibalism as a way to define the worst behavior possible in another group,
	Schutt tells me.
	The probable explanation for why they chose cannibalism to represent the act of a monster
	is fairly straightforward.
	It's what their northern European enemies, the Androfagos, are doing.
	Is that how you say it?
	Greek for man-eaters did.
	For the Greeks, human flesh was the food of foreigners, and thus eating it the lowest one could stoop.
	From there, the stigma only grew.
	I'm gonna go ahead and call shenanigans, and here's what I think.
	I think a dude ate another dude, and then started spazzing out and shaking, and they were like, maybe we shouldn't do that.
	If you look to many ancient texts, the Torah, the Bible, they say not to eat pig.
	Muslims as well.
	Why?
	Pigs are dirty animals and they're loaded with parasites and diseases and viruses.
	But once we started cooking them and raising them with antibiotics and with better hygiene, all of a sudden it was safer to eat.
	But the trope still exists.
	The argument is the reason why in the Old Testament and the Bible and things like that it says not to eat pork is because it was actually dangerous and they were telling you practically not to do it.
	Similarly with shellfish and things like that, you could get sick from it.
	Now, most people don't even observe those tenets.
	Many religious people will eat pork, many don't.
	Many religious people who are very serious won't eat meat on Friday and things like that, with respect, but the idea is that it emerged because there was a legitimate reason not to do it.
	Why should we not eat human?
	You will get sick.
	There's no circumstance where you're going to eat a person and you're going to be safe.
	I suppose, I'm not a biologist, But it's a prion disease.
	Malformed proteins.
	It's different from, like, a virus.
	That being said, outside of all of this, I absolutely respect the spiritual nature of someone who says, I don't want to eat these kinds of animals.
	And I absolutely respect the idea that we don't eat humans because we are humans.
	Humans have more value.
	Fact.
	Humans are abstract thinkers.
	We create complex ideas and systems in our mind that don't exist in physical space.
	Things that other animals just don't do.
	Humans are abstract thinkers. We create complex ideas and systems in our mind that don't exist in physical space.
	Things that other animals just don't do. We are a step above in the organizational structure of the universe.
	I don't think we are the end all be all.
	I don't think we're the most important.
	But I do think humans are more valuable than all animals basically.
	I certainly think there are some really great animals that are very valuable.
	Dolphins, monkeys, higher primates and all that stuff.
	Humans are up top.
	When someone dies, we honor that person.
	We defend that person even in death.
	Because we are trying to preserve ourselves and our species.
	And succeed.
	That's just me!
	That's just me.
	But they're trying to convince you to eat people, so... Sure.
	The Romans took the taboo from the Greeks, where it combined with Judeo-Christian beliefs about how you treat the dead, Schutt says, combined that with the racism, here we go, of early anthropologists who use it to practice, who use its practice as justification to commit cultural genocide and the stigma compounded.
	I ask of you, how long do you think it will be, comment below, until the left starts advocating for cannibalism and they call you racist for not eating human?
	We're already at this point where they're like, well, the Romans were very racist.
	And because they were racist, they wouldn't eat people.
	In fact, not eating people is white supremacy.
	Well, because it's the white people who don't want to eat other people.
	That's what they'll say.
	Although I'm pretty sure in China they're not eating other people.
	Many of the Donner Party refused to cannibalize the cost of their lives.
	No cannibalism took place among the Donner Party members trapped by the lake until at least late February, after at least 13 people starved and died.
	Don't be one of them.
	I'm telling you, they're saying it right here.
	Don't be one of them.
	There is frozen food buried by the lake.
	If you want to survive, you'll need to eat it.
	Sorry, dude.
	Maybe I'm stupid, but I would die before I would eat person.
	It's just reality.
	I would be one of those who died.
	Because I think there are certain things in life that are more important than just being alive.
	I think there's something bigger and greater than us.
	I think that we have to uphold our values and ideals and they must persevere long after we are dead.
	That means, if confronted with starvation, I would rather die than eat a person.
	That may be stupid.
	To a secular leftist who's like, but just live for yourself.
	But I don't just live for myself.
	They have written it.
	This is a two year old article.
	Don't be one of them.
	There's frozen food buried by the lake.
	Humans are not food.
	You know what?
	I want to give a shout out to Pirates of the Caribbean.
	One of the best lines in a movie.
	I can't remember which movie it is, maybe it's the third one or whatever, and the E-City Trading Company is like, Jack Sparrow got branded a pirate because he took off with a ship full of cargo, and Jack goes, humans aren't cargo, mate.
	And I was like, that was awesome.
	Basically saying they were trying to get him to transport slaves, and he said no, and he ran off with that slave ship.
	A very hard thing to do at the time.
	But obviously it's modern sensibilities, they want Jack Sparrow to be a hero, so they roll with it, but I think it was a very, very good line.
	You don't eat humans, mate.
	You don't do it.
	There's a moral line.
	There's something bigger than all of us.
	They say when practicing cannibalism, there are a few safety precautions one must take.
	First, cook your meat thoroughly to avoid diseases.
	No tartars or carpaccios.
unidentified		Ugh.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Tartars.
		Also avoid the brain.
		You run a small risk, a small risk, of catching a deadly prion disease called Kuru from eating it.
		Instead, target the thighs, butt, calves, and back muscles for the highest caloric returns.
		As for the choice cuts beyond that, refer to the table below.
		Which relies on data compiled by James Cole in his study of the caloric returns of cannibalism.
		At 32,000 calories per body, based on a 145 pound male, which while light may be accurate in this case, and at least 13 bodies, there will be plenty of food for you to eat and even share until the arrival of the first rescue party.
		This is nuts.
		I'm sorry, man.
		I am just not on board with it.
		Y'all feel free to be, I guess, but I'm gonna strive for a society in which we respect our families, we respect humble masculinity, we respect women, we respect not eating each other, and then maybe, to solve our problems, we utilize technology.
		But here we go, my friends.
		Here we go.
		Axios straight up says it.
		November 21st.
		Human composting is a hot new burial alternative.
		Two years ago, Wired wrote an article telling you about the nutritional value of eating human beings.
		Look at this.
		Calories and eating the nerve trunks.
		The heart, 651 calories.
		Don't be one of them.
		Don't die.
unidentified		Eat people.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's so weird to me.
		How hard is it to just be like, nah I'm good.
		Like seriously though.
		Is it supposed to be, is the argument that I'm virtue signaling to you because I refuse to eat human beings?
		Is the argument that I'm racist or xenophobic because I don't want to eat another person?
		That's how crazy things are getting.
		I would love to just pass this off as rage bait.
		As clickbait garbage.
		But we are seeing the laws change.
		They are making it in law that you can compost human beings.
		And in some states, you can grow crops from it, but not for human consumption, but for animal consumption, and then you eat the animals, right?
		They're working us towards that.
		They're grooming us.

		My colleague from California, Mr. Garcia, knows the incredibly high regard I hold him in.
		He is a patriot.
		I deeply, deeply admire him.
		But I must take some exception with some of the comments he made in his nomination of Mr. McCarthy.
		First, he said that Mr. McCarthy has earned the position.
		You only earn the position of Speaker of the House if you can get the votes.
		Mr. McCarthy doesn't have the votes today.
		He will not have the votes tomorrow.
		And he will not have the votes next week.
unidentified		2 plus 2 equals 4.
matt gaetz ▲ ● ▼		And so one must wonder.
		Madam Clerk, is this an exercise in vanity for someone who has done the math, taken the counts, and is putting this institution through something that absolutely is avoidable?
		My colleague Mr. Garcia did not say this, but many of my other Republican colleagues have.

		The gentleman is not being recognized.
		Who was that?
		Members are reminded not to engage in personalities against other members of the House.
matt gaetz ▲ ● ▼		Several believe that one earns the position of Speaker by raising enormous sums of money, and there is no doubt that the individual that was nominated by Mr. Garcia is the LeBron James of special interest fundraising.
		There is nobody better, but I would suggest That there are qualifications for Speaker that are far more important, there are attributes that are far more important.
		Jim Jordan has those, and I am submitting his name for nomination.
unidentified		Aww.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Jim Jordan!

matt gaetz ▲ ● ▼		That's your stock will go up?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I guess.
matt gaetz ▲ ● ▼		That we seek pure selfless intent.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Maybe someone else is nominating Trump.
matt gaetz ▲ ● ▼		And I could not agree more with that assessment.
		They're just gonna take turns.
		Mr. Jordan indeed is reflective of pure selfless intent.
		I don't know that the same can be said for the Republican alternative.
		Let's start with purity.
		Many of you have seen the reports that there are negotiations to determine whether or not, on this side of the aisle, there can be a deal.
		A meeting of the minds.
		A grand bargain that would allow us to proceed with the speakership.
		And I want all of my colleagues to know, regardless of your perspective on me, how Impure, some of those negotiations have gone, and I want the country to know.
		The principal goal of the people who are objecting to Mr. McCarthy on the Republican side is that we don't believe the rules of this place unlock the potential of all of the members to be able to cast votes on individual bills and to offer amendments on Appropriations Acts.
		And we're also concerned about spending that has ballooned our debt and borrowed against the future generations of American citizens.
		And Mr. McCarthy said, well, goodness to the objectors, why do you want to be on the Oversight and Judiciary Committee and you never submit your names to be on the Rules Committee or the Appropriations Committee?
		And so, gosh, if you'll get a list of folks who are willing to come early on fly-in days for rules and folks who are willing to take on the extra burden of our appropriators who work so hard, then I'll certainly work to do that."
		And so we endeavored in good faith, in pure good faith, to create that list.
		And then what did Mr. McCarthy do?
		He went out to the media and came to other members of the conference and said,
		See?
		They just want jobs for themselves.
		That is not pure.
		Selflessness.
		Selflessness is not selling shares of yourself to the lobby corps and then doing their bidding at the expense of the American people.
		But there certainly is intent, and it's an intent driven almost exclusively by personal ambition, and that ambition is paralyzing the House now.
		Why is everyone walking out?
		Because they're just as bored as I am.
		They're like, don't you dare attack McCarthy.
unidentified		We love him.

matt gaetz ▲ ● ▼		We've been objecting to Mr. McCarthy, who are working on, perhaps, changes to the rules,
		changes to circumstance that would convert the speakership from the great, awesome, powerful position it is now
		to more of a ceremonial position, almost akin to the speaker in the British House of Commons.
		I referred to it previously as a straitjacket that some of us were trying to construct with better rules and better personnel, because we do not trust Mr. McCarthy with power.
		Because we know who he will use it for, and we are concerned it will not be for the American people.
		We trust Jim Jordan.

hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Well, and at what point does he withdraw, right?
		Like, Gates is totally right.
		He's not going to gain any votes unless there's some crazy deal being worked out that we're not aware of, and he's not going to lose any, apparently.
		So we're in this stalemate for as long as they want, which means that they're wasting everyone's time, right?
		Like, these are days they could have been doing something productive with.
		I think it's good to push back against McCarthy, but I do want to know, like, when is he going to make a difference, right?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm sitting here, and we got the screen pulled up.
		The moment five Republicans defect, we call it.
		You know what I mean?
		That's it.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I like Gates.
		He's standing up, and he is really sticking it to McCarthy, and it feels good.
		It feels real good.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So far, it's just McCarthy and Jeffries.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Where are we at?
		Banks, McCarthy.
		I don't think, it's just, even if defectors, or whatever you want to call it, End up flipping back for McCarthy.
		I don't think he gets past that five votes.
		I think it was Chip Roy fundraising off of rejecting McCarthy.
		Like they're they're campaigning on this.
		Everybody's so bored.
		I see a lot of gorillas in the chat.
		The gorilla emoji signifies wanting Alex Jones to be Speaker of the House.
unidentified		Who made that up?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Me.
		And the orange emoji signifies wanting Donald Trump to be So there's a bunch of- Are there many oranges?

		So three, uh, three more.
		Bishop of North Carolina.
unidentified		What did he just say?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		McCarthy.

		And that's it.
		McCarthy loses the 12th vote.
unidentified		Oh, sit down.

hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Is Sparks going to vote present again or is she going to change her mind?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Can you nominate yourself?
unidentified		I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's things like this that make me really want to be in Congress, because she'd be like, I remind the gentleman not to direct your comments.

unidentified		What do you do?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This is so stupid.
unidentified		I was gonna say, what can you do if someone's being super rowdy?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		I think you told me out in the U.S.A.
unidentified		like we had.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So Bobert votes turn.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Two more.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We have two more outside of gates.
unidentified		We have those like decorum, but if you watch British Parliament or other parliaments in the world, they just scream each other.
		It's so cool.
		I love it.
		It's great.
		I wish it was more like that.
		I mean, the thing is, we only establish this decorum.
		You can totally do that in the Congress.
		You're allowed to just yell at the witches in the U.S.
		and everyone's like, oh, well, let's be civilized.
		No.
		Yell.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		People get so offended when they don't stand for speeches or they're sitting.
		Who was it?
		Was it Marjorie Taylor Greene and Boebert who got in trouble for heckling?
		Why not?
		What trouble though?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		How is that enforceable?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		They just get denounced by the media and they'll get reprimanded by the speakers.
		Like I said, they might get reprimanded by the Speaker.
		There's no consequences.
		They just, we, George is totally right.
		We've decided this is the way we're supposed to be.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		If I was there, I'd stand up and say, I cast my 12th vote in this session of Congress for Donald Duck.
		I just wouldn't take it seriously.
		I'd say, why?
		Who cares?
		Like, we're not going anywhere.
		McCarthy needs to just back down on everything.
		He won't do it.
		I mean, I think at this point he's got to just bow out.
		Yeah.
		And he's got to say, fine, Donald's or something.
		Or Jordan.
unidentified		Or Jordan.
		Because then I get my money back from predicted.
		At least something good will come out of this.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		And if he does somehow manage to... Oh no, Jim Jordan's down to five cents again.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Oh man.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		McCarthy's up to $0.60.
unidentified		Gotta play those swings, Tim.
unidentified		Those swing trades.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's like, maybe at this point I should cut my losses and get rid of these shares before it goes to $0.01.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And then I end up with $8.
unidentified		What money are you going to buy?
unidentified		Or what are you going to buy with the predicted win?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, I lost.
unidentified		If you win.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Wagyu beef.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
unidentified		That'd be fun.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So I don't know, is McCarthy doing better than he did last time?
unidentified		Is that why people are clapping?
unidentified		Because they're getting people to go back to McCarthy?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think that might be it.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		They're just trying to keep themselves entertained, right?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		They've been doing this for four days.
unidentified		I know, I'm pretty confident Chip Roy is not going to vote McCarthy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, sure, and Gates.
unidentified		And Gates, that's four.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So you need one more, but you've got Biggs.
unidentified		He's already voted, I think.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, he did?
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You're right.
unidentified		Biggs and Boebert.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They're the ones who voted Hearn and Jordan.
unidentified		I believe so.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Usually by the B names, he's already lost, I'm pretty sure.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Isn't that what it is?
unidentified		I hope so.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		If the Freedom Caucus people cave, it's just... Unless Kevin McCarthy actually gave them things they wanted, then it's like, OK, I guess.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Eli Crane of Arizona voted Hearn in the 11th round, so it might come up.

hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I want there to be someone who hears Jeffrey so many times around, the Republican, they accidentally say it too.
unidentified		I was wondering that, yeah.
unidentified		I'm just gonna, I'm like, I'm playing Harry Potter over here, you know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, they got a flip!
unidentified		Whoa, that might be it.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		It's Norman, Ralph Norman, South Carolina.
		It's all the Donald people flip.
unidentified		Dude, all the people flipping look so sad.
unidentified		Yeah, dude.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He looks pissed.
unidentified		And they're like clapping and...
		He just did a thumbs up, this guy.

hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I mean, we don't know what the deal is, right?

unidentified		She pronounces her R's really well.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Jeffries.

hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Someone just super chatted that Gates will go on Fox if he has to resign.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Matt Gates will be fine, guys.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but McCarthy's gonna come after him hard if he wins.
unidentified		Yeah.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, he probably will.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		On the other hand, I think Gates has such a grassroots following that it is not necessarily McCarthy's favor to be too difficult with him.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I mean, we were reading earlier that they compromised and came up with a deal, and then the story came out that McCarthy said there was no deal.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So I'm wondering, are these people... Yeah, are they just caving, or there's actually a deal and McCarthy doesn't want to admit it?
unidentified		Jeffries.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I feel bad for Donald.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Him walking out makes me curious about what's going on.
unidentified		McCarthy.
		Well, I mean, the title is still up on C-SPAN, so he doesn't have the votes, so.
		Yep.

hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I didn't know his name.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And they give a standing ovation every time.
unidentified		Peters.
unidentified		Jeffries.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Matt Rosendale of Montana voted for Hearn last time, so he may not flip.

hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Someone else in the chat said, I think McCarthy ramped up threats, not concessions.
unidentified		Yeah, that's exactly what I think.
unidentified		These people do not, they look scared.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
unidentified		Quigley.
		Jeffries.
		Ramirez.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Pockets says, these people cheer for McCarthy like clockwork monkeys.

unidentified		I'm near death, trust me.
unidentified		We're about there.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's like, you know, normally I would record only a couple, like an hour and a half, hour and 15 minutes for my morning show, and now we're going on four hours.

tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's almost, it's gonna be two.
unidentified		Rogers of Kentucky.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Starting next week, Phil will be in town for a little bit, and then we're gonna be hiring a morning producer, so there'll be more segments.

		Please reconsider this drastic change in your program.

hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		He was like, I'm not going down with this ship.

tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So I was going to say real quick, if you don't want to watch live, go to youtube.com slash TimCastNews where I'll be putting up clips and more clips to just get everything.
unidentified		It's like the best of both worlds.
		It's happening concurrently as we're doing this.
		Tim will also segment out and film a little segment and then post it while the show's going.
		So you still get those segments.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Next week we're going to hammer the details out, especially with the morning producer.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So sir, we'll have even more clips than normal and hopefully hitting the points faster.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Right.

unidentified		Stansbury.
unidentified		This is what we need.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We need a real-time, like, news clipper person.
