| Now let's jump into the first story. | ||
| It is a fact. | ||
| It is not in dispute that Donald Trump was spied on. | ||
| In fact, despite what the corporate press is saying, it was a big story in the corporate press. | ||
| Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith altered an email to justify a false surveillance warrant against Carter Page. | ||
| Now, outside of that, there are many other claims and there are more and more stories with copious amounts of evidence that the Obama administration, the Clinton campaign, were heavily spying on Donald Trump. | ||
| The latest report yesterday coming from Public, A publication by Michael Schellenberger, along with reporting from Matt Taibbi, says that according to several sources, you had individuals in the CIA contact the Five Eyes Spy Club, these are allies around the world, to spy on 26 Trump campaign associates. | ||
| And oh boy, does it get worse. | ||
| As part of this story, and as the theory goes, there is a binder containing all of the information about the illegal activities of the previous administration and their efforts to sabotage the frontrunner in the 2016 campaign. | ||
| And I know, I know. | ||
| They say that Hillary Clinton was the frontrunner, but Trump won. | ||
| So they were completely wrong, the polls were wrong, and it turned out that Trump actually did win. | ||
| So let's just say frontrunner for the Republican Party, for the opposition. | ||
| They tried. | ||
| They did sabotage him. | ||
| It did not work. | ||
| Into his first term, Donald Trump was weighted. | ||
| They basically cemented concrete blocks to his legs to inhibit him from doing things the American people wanted done. | ||
| Building a border barrier? | ||
| If Trump had gotten his way and built a massive, beautiful 30-foot wall from sea to shining sea, then we would not have the migrant crisis we have today. | ||
| Trump did build some bollard fencing, triple-layer security in key areas, but he was obstructed every step of the way. | ||
| Trump tried to get our troops out of Syria. | ||
| He was lied to, which is shocking. | ||
| The American people were lied to. | ||
| Now, in a news story from public, They write that according to sources, this binder is not in the possession of Donald Trump. | ||
| Perhaps it is. | ||
| But in fact being hidden by intelligence agencies because it is evidence they are committing serious crimes. | ||
| You know, I have no idea what we can expect to happen in this year. | ||
| And I often feel like, not that I'm right all the time, but, you know, in 2020 and 2018, there's something I see, and I'll say, based on this, we can expect that, right? | ||
| I have no idea what's happening right now. | ||
| And, you know, in 2020, I'd been looking at a lot of data, Moody's Analytics, for instance, economic data, that all indicated a Trump re-election. | ||
| Well, what I didn't account for was the quote-unquote shadow campaign, as Time Magazine calls it. | ||
| The conspiracy, as they call it, unfolding behind the scenes to stop Trump from winning. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| That's what they said, sure. | ||
| I didn't account for whatever that was. | ||
| But one thing we did see, you and I and everybody else who was paying attention, was that Donald Trump was going to get a massive increase in his vote totals. | ||
| And he did. | ||
| More than any other sitting president. | ||
| Just not enough to overcome the quote-unquote shadow campaign, as they call it. | ||
| I can't tell you what's going to happen. | ||
| I mean, you've got Jack Smith going after Donald Trump. | ||
| The Supreme Court is going to be hearing arguments on presidential immunity. | ||
| And while many people think it's going to be, they'll either say he does or does not have immunity. | ||
| And then if he does, he doesn't go to jail. | ||
| If he doesn't, he goes to jail, maybe. | ||
| My concern is, and I'm not a lawyer so I could be wrong about this, but couldn't there be a narrow ruling from the Supreme Court where they say, yes, the president does enjoy broad immunity for actions undertaken in office as part of his presidential duties. | ||
| Couldn't they say that and then add, however, Donald Trump was not acting in his official duties? | ||
| In which case, in this specific instance, he's not immune? | ||
| I got no idea, man. | ||
| Georgia's deploying a small detachment of National Guard to support Texas in opposition to the Biden administration. | ||
| Alaska announced that perhaps in early next year, they will deploy in support of the federal administration, which, who knows, could be Donald Trump. | ||
| I have no idea what to expect. | ||
| But I can only tell you this right now, as time goes on, more and more information is being uncovered about the conspiracy against the American people by the Clinton campaign, by the Democratic Party, and very much so the Obama administration. | ||
| Trump was spied on. | ||
| There is so much reporting. | ||
| Secret meetings. | ||
| With Comey, Sally Yates, Biden, Obama. | ||
| Targeting Donald Trump. | ||
| They did not want him to be able to win. | ||
| Because Trump represents the American people. | ||
| The Democrats represent NATO, I guess. | ||
| And there's no democratic process for how they operate. | ||
| Now what happens this year? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| As the story goes, many people believe that Donald Trump took the binder Of information proving this conspiracy with him as insurance and is holding on to it right now. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| If he had the insurance, I don't think they'd be trying to put him in prison. | ||
| The argument now that we're seeing from public is that in fact the U.S. | ||
| government is hiding those documents that incriminate the intelligence community for illegal spying and election interference, say sources. | ||
| Perhaps. | ||
| Maybe it's both. | ||
| Gina Haspel blocked the release of the binder with evidence that may identify her role in the Trump | ||
| collusion hoax. Perhaps. Maybe it's both. Maybe Donald Trump, when he declassified Crossfire | ||
| Hurricane, that was the operation where they were spying on him. This was a coup. | ||
| 2. | ||
| It happened. | ||
| It was relatively unsuccessful, but perhaps it's easier to say it is ongoing. | ||
| And right now, we don't know how it will be resolved. | ||
| Perhaps there is a binder, and perhaps Trump does have it. | ||
| Perhaps there's other information that Trump does not have. | ||
| Part of this theory and speculation with these stories is that Donald Trump was raided by the FBI because they are sweating bullets trying to figure out where these documents are that prove there was a deep state plot to overthrow this country's government and the will of the people. | ||
| I think it's fair to say they did. | ||
| Even though Donald Trump became president, I think it's fair to say there still was this effort. | ||
| Donald Trump was inhibited from doing what he wanted to do and what he promised the American people he would do and what got him his victory. | ||
| The American people say we want a secure border. | ||
| We want better trade agreements. | ||
| We want manufacturing brought back. | ||
| Instead, what do we get? | ||
| Jobs sent overseas, free trade deals, a porous border, and the loss of manufacturing in many areas. | ||
| Here's the story from Public. | ||
| U.S. | ||
| government is hiding documents that incriminate intelligence community for illegal spying and election interference, say sources. | ||
| This is reporting from Michael Schellenberger, Matt Taibbi, and Alex Gutentag. | ||
| Last September 15th, As Americans decorated trees, lit menorahs, and prepared to tune out for winter holidays, CNN ran an extraordinary article titled, The Mystery of the Missing Binder, How a Collection of Raw Russian Intelligence Disappeared Under Trump. | ||
| Co-authored by Natasha Bertrand, the gargantuan expose claimed a mysterious binder of highly classified information related to Russian election interference went missing in the chaotic waning days of Donald Trump's presidency in January 2021, raising concerns that some of America's most closely guarded national security secrets could be exposed. | ||
| CNN and its intelligence sources meant exposure in a bad way. | ||
| Sources have told Public and Racket, however, that the secrets officials worry might be exposed are ones that would implicate them in widespread abuses of intelligence authority dating back to the 2015-2016 election season. | ||
| Quote, I would call the binder Trump's insurance policy, said someone knowledgeable about the case. | ||
| He was very concerned about having it and taking it with him because it was the roadmap of Russiagate. | ||
| Transgressions range from DOJ surveillance of domestic political targets without probable cause, to the improper unmasking of a pre-election conversation between a Trump official and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, to WMD-style manipulation of intelligence for public reports on alleged Russian influence activities. | ||
| The CNN report claimed intelligence officials were concerned about the disclosure of sources and methods that informed the U.S. | ||
| government's assessment that Russian President Vladimir Putin sought to help Trump win the 2016 election. | ||
| They should be concerned. | ||
| The story of how a team hand-picked by CIA Director John Brennan-Rulot and cooked intelligence The Missing Binders story has several variants. | ||
| Sources offer differing answers. | ||
| On the question of whether anything of consequence is missing, they give mixed accounts of Trump's frantic last efforts to declassify Russia-related material. | ||
| officials are desperate to keep secret. | ||
| The missing binder story has several variants. | ||
| Sources offer differing answers on the question of whether anything of consequence is missing. | ||
| They give mixed accounts of Trump's frantic last efforts to declassify Russia-related | ||
| material. | ||
| But nearly everyone public and racket spoke to agreed that the tale obscured a broader | ||
| and more important story, dating back to the release of the so-called Nunes memo in 2018, | ||
| exposing the corruption of the FISA application process. | ||
| Senior intelligence officials, including Trump's CIA director Gina Haspel, have been working | ||

| See you on the tour. | ||
| They had good reason to obstruct the release of these documents. | ||
| As Publican Racket reported yesterday, the CIA had foreign intelligence agencies run an illegal spying operation against then-candidate Trump's presidential campaign in 2016. | ||
| This illegally acquired intelligence was used to justify the FBI's official probe, Crossfire Hurricane, which in turn spurred the investigation of Special Counsel Robert Mueller. | ||
| The documents in question are said to contain information about the legal justification for those investigations, or more specifically, the lack of justification, among other things. | ||
| Should more of that information be made public, it might implicate a long list of officials in serious abuses. | ||
| Questions like these may be answered if the 10-inch-thick binder of sensitive documents about the origins of the Russia probe is made public. | ||
| Fear for reputations and careers, not national security, is what intelligence officials panicked. | ||
| Is what has intelligence officials panicked. | ||
| FBI divided over Mar-a-Lago raid document. | ||
| Multiple sources believe that Trump's possession of the binder, or one of multiple binders, led the FBI to raid his home in Mar-a-Lago, which led to the prosecution of Trump by the DOJ Special Prosecutor Jack Smith. | ||
| I'm gonna pause there. | ||
| I want to give a shout-out to Michael Schellenberger and Matt Taibbi, and I would ask that you guys support them, and Alex Guttentag. | ||
| Support their work, and become a subscriber to Public and to their works. | ||
| I don't want to read through the whole story. | ||
| Part of me hopes that by stopping there, at least as far as this story goes, I can get out the relevant context and important information to all of you, but encourage you to go to public.substack.com Sign up to support the work they're doing it is some of the most important journalism so far that we have seen and You know part of me. | ||
| I get torn on stories like this because public is a subscriber platform I don't want to just read all of the news and I want you guys to subscribe and support the work that they are doing Lest we not know about these stories, but there is more I'll stop there. | ||
| I think we've got the gist of this story and the importance of it. | ||
| I think the American people must know about what is currently happening. | ||
| And I also think it is incumbent upon all of us to support these journalists. | ||
| I'll say it one more time. | ||
| But we also have this. | ||
| We have a thread from Tom Fitton. | ||
| In its motion, Judicial Watch quotes President Joe Biden's remarks at a November 9th, 2022 White House press conference and provides the background and justification for the Freedom of Information request. | ||
| What Tom Fitton has written here, I think, may be one of the most important stories to date. | ||
| It is clear to anybody who is paying attention, right now, You know, we can set aside the CIA's illegal spying operation, Obama's spying operation, the Clinton campaign spying, Russiagate, that was a long time ago. | ||
| Right now, we are still in the midst of this Cold Civil War. | ||
| And that's not my words, that was a Princeton professor who said that, but I think it's fair to say. | ||
| Because political powers behind the scenes are seeking to destroy this country. | ||
| And I think when you see what Tom Fitton has, uh, what Judicial Watch has written, it becomes clear. | ||
| I think most of you know this already, but it's put succinctly. | ||
| Let me read for you. | ||
| Quote, well, we just have to demonstrate that Donald Trump will not take power. | ||
| If we, if he does run, I'm making sure he under legitimate efforts of the constitution does not become the next president again. | ||
| President Joe Biden. | ||
| On November 18th, 2022, three days after Trump announced he would run for president again in 24, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith to investigate potential criminal wrongdoing by former President Donald Trump. | ||
| The appointment came nine days after Biden announced his effort to make sure Trump did not become president again. | ||
| The unprecedented investigation, and now prosecutions, by an incumbent president of his immediate predecessor, opponent in the last election, and leading opponent in the upcoming election, raises numerous questions about who special counsel Smith chose to assist him in this highly charged endeavor. | ||
| Are these persons, opponents, or supporters of the former president aligned with one or more of the two major political parties, or otherwise biased or conflicted, or are they unbiased nonpartisan professionals? | ||
| I'll pause right there and just say it rather simply. | ||
| It's clear as day. | ||
| Joe Biden publicly stated he will not allow Trump to become president. | ||
| The New York Times reported that Donald Trump insulted Merrick Garland for not going after Donald Trump. | ||
| And then we have Merrick Garland going after Donald Trump. | ||
| It's clear, isn't it? | ||
| New York Times, CNN has reported this. | ||
| Joe Biden is outright saying, stop Trump by any means necessary. | ||
| Because they're criminals. | ||
| Because Joe Biden is corrupt. | ||
| Because Joe Biden is a deeply evil man. | ||
| His family are crooked. | ||
| His son is a crackhead. | ||
| Look, I'll give him credit for getting clean, but he is from a disgusting and despicable lineage, and they have committed serious crimes. | ||
| And I think, uh, I think this country is in trouble unless something changes. | ||
| To be fair, I think even if Donald Trump does win, this country is still facing a very dark period. | ||
| Moving forward, Judicial Watch writes, Defendant readily acknowledges that the SCO's investigation and prosecutions of former President Trump and Special Counsel have been the subject of intense public scrutiny. | ||
| Defendant's memo at 2, the scrutiny will only increase as the election approaches. | ||
| Yet Defendant also claims startlingly that there is a dearth of FOIA public interest in knowing the identities of SCO staffers. | ||
| Defendant could not be more wrong. | ||
| Knowing who Special Counsel Smith chose to investigate and prosecute the former president is vital to informed debate about the SCO's activities. | ||
| It has substantial bearing on public confidence in or skepticism about the SCO's actions and may help voters decide how to cast their ballots in the upcoming election. | ||
| It is vital to the functioning of our Republic at the very center of FOIA's purpose of providing citizens with informed information about what their government is up to. | ||
| Now he goes on to make a lot of points that I think are extremely important, talking about Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, members of Robert Mueller's investigation into Trump, and well, I think there's a lot to go through with Strzok and Page as to their nefarious activities. | ||
| But this is wild. | ||
| It's all laid out in front of us. | ||
| It's been going on for some time. | ||
| I want to read for you this tweet from Huffington Post, lest we never forget what we were dealing with during the Trump administration. | ||
| Huffington Post has this tweet that says, a tape might exist of Trump doing something in an elevator, | ||
| though exactly where that somewhere is and what that something might be, no one in media can say. | ||
| That's because no one in media seems to have seen the tape or is even confident it exists. | ||
| That's right. The media, democratic establishment, the Obama administration, the Clinton campaign, | ||
| the establishment powers, they do not want the American people to have a say. | ||
| They want to lie, cheat, and steal. | ||
| But, it's all getting exposed. | ||
| What I love about this tweet is that it exposes the sheer desperation. | ||
| They ran out of ideas. | ||
| You can only call Trump Hitler so many times, poor people just say, I don't care. | ||
| I really don't. | ||
| And this tweet from Benny Johnson. | ||
| He says, Opening statement of Hunter Biden's former business associate Tony Bobulinski says Joe Biden enabled his son to sell access to the United States' most dangerous adversaries, including China, Russia and more. | ||
| Take a look at this. | ||
| Hunter Biden's alleged expenses. | ||
| $1.6 million in ATM withdrawals. | ||
| $683,000 for payments to various women. | ||
| $400,000 about for clothing. | ||
| $300,000 on tuition and education. | ||
| $237,000 on health, beauty, and pharmacy. | ||
| $236,000 on miscellaneous retail purchases. | ||
| Man. | ||
| Dark days indeed. | ||
| I don't know how you navigate something like this. | ||
| I don't know that simply voting is the solution because, rest assured my friends, if there was a shadow campaign in 2020, there is certainly a shadow campaign today. | ||
| That being said, our path right now is clear. | ||
| Organize. | ||
| Vote. | ||
| Vote out incumbents. | ||
| Donald Trump is a very, very imperfect candidate. | ||
| However, considering what they did to him, you know, many people say, what's the case for Donald Trump? | ||
| He's an old man. | ||
| Even Jon Stewart was ragging on him. | ||
| There's people like Vivek, sure. | ||
| But I'll put it this way. | ||
| The corruption we have learned of from the reporting of Michael Schellenberger, Matt Taibbi, Alex Guttentag, and many others, we need accountability. | ||
| When it came to Ron DeSantis running for president, I felt that he would just compromise. | ||
| He's gonna say, look, water under the bridge, we're here to fix the country, let's just walk away from this one. | ||
| You know, Ian Crosland on IRL often says, pardon and forgiveness for the Democrats. | ||
| No. | ||
| We cannot allow people who have destroyed and subverted this country to just get away with doing it. | ||
| And so I see the only real path forward is Donald Trump's retribution. | ||
| Not for me, for himself. | ||
| If the corrupt elements of the U.S. | ||
| government and the Democratic Party, and to be honest, the Republican Party, if they are to be stopped, you need someone who is motivated to stop them. | ||
| Considering Donald Trump is the victim of all of this, I believe he's probably the only one willing to actually try and do something about it. | ||
| Many other candidates would simply, as I said, like Ron DeSantis. | ||
| I don't think DeSantis would go after him. | ||
| I think he'd get in and say, I don't want to go to war with you guys. | ||
| I just want to get some of my policies pushed through. | ||
| I need to negotiate any compromise. | ||
| Donald Trump made this mistake in his first term. | ||
| I mean, look, Gina Haspel, I mean, he chose many of these people. | ||
| He did not know what he was doing. | ||
| He made a lot of mistakes and they were working behind the scenes to sabotage the elected president. | ||
| When he tried to get our troops out of Syria, let me just stop there and say, when did they go and why are they there? | ||
| Who remembers the invasion of Syria? | ||
| We know the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, but did you know we invaded Syria? | ||
| How about that? | ||
| Trump said, get our troops out. | ||
| They said, okay, we did. | ||
| But they did not. | ||
| They lied. | ||
| To you, to me, to Donald Trump. | ||
| These people should be in prison. | ||
| Hey guys, Josh Hammer here, the host of America on Trial with Josh Hammer, a podcast for the First Podcast Network. | ||
| Look, there are a lot of shows out there that are explaining the political news cycle, what's happening on the Hill, the this, the that. | ||
| There are no other shows that are cutting straight to the point when it comes to the unprecedented lawfare debilitating and affecting the 2024 presidential election. | ||
| We do all of that every single day right here on America on Trial with Josh Hammer. | ||
| Subscribe and download your episodes wherever you get your podcasts. | ||
| It's America on trial with Josh Hammer. | ||
| And Donald Trump's the only one who's gonna do it. | ||
| And that, to be completely honest, I still don't even have a guarantee he does. | ||
| But if you're gonna point at any one of these individuals and ask me who would do it, | ||
| Donald Trump's the best bet. | ||
| Now why is Nikki Haley still running? | ||
| Because she's basically part of the establishment. | ||
| And she's hoping Trump goes to jail. | ||
| If the Supreme Court announces they do not agree with presidential immunity, she's not going to drop out. | ||
| Because she's going to say, look, even if I can't win the election, Trump will be in jail and then I'm the default candidate. | ||
| Imagine that. | ||
| Come November, your choice is Joe Biden or Nikki Haley. | ||
|

|
Hmm. | |
| In that instance, RFK Jr. | ||
| might actually win. | ||
| Or at the very least, he'll be close. | ||
| Nikki Haley. | ||
| Yikes. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| There's a lot going on. | ||
| 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. | ||
| So, Rolling Stone did a cover with Kristen Stewart. | ||
| Of course, everybody knows Kristen Stewart from Twilight. | ||
| So, following this, there was widespread criticism of the photoshoot because Kristen Stewart used what they describe as masculine-coated props, like a jockstrap and a leather vest or whatever. | ||
| Following the criticism, Rolling Stone published this. | ||
| Right-wingers are terrified of our gay Kristen Stewart cover. | ||
| We'd honestly be surprised if they could name a movie she's done since Twilight. | ||
| It is hard to think of any movies that she's done, to be completely honest. | ||
| But I did see American Ultra. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know, like, I think that was 10 years ago. | |
| And Snow White. | ||
| And, um, what else is she in? | ||
| I don't know what else she's in, to be completely honest. | ||
| And I think the funny thing about this is, uh, saying that we'd be surprised if they could name a movie she's done since Twilight is kind of the point. | ||
| So there is some speculation that a move like this from Kristen Stewart doing, like, this shocking photo shoot is desperation. | ||
| She's not a big movie star anymore. | ||
| I mean, to be fair, like, Twilight was big when it was big, but, you know, Robert Pattinson, that was big for him. | ||
| I know he wasn't a big fan, but he also did Harry Potter. | ||
| And Kristen Stewart, that was big for her, and she's done, like, some movies since then, I guess? | ||
| I mean, come on. | ||
| You can't name a movie that she's done since Twilight, can you? | ||
| Here's what's funny about this. | ||
| I would like Rolling Stone to know I am not terrified in any way of your cover. | ||
| In fact, I didn't even comment on it until now. | ||
| And now I'm going to. | ||
| I can't speak for other anti-woke social media accounts, but I'm going to start this segment off very simply before reading their criticism, and then I want to show you some examples. | ||
| Kristen Stewart looks gross. | ||
| I'm not trying to be mean. | ||
| I don't know or care for Kristen Stewart. | ||
| I don't care that she dresses how she wants to dress, and I honestly didn't care that Rolling Stone did the cover with her. | ||
| But if you want to play this game and talk about what's going on, I'll tell you where I'm at. | ||
| When the Gamergate stuff was happening, my attitude for all the video games that were getting woke was, hey man, more power to you. | ||
| You make your video game, that's great. | ||
| Uh, I won't buy it. | ||
| Rolling Stone runs the cover of a greasy-looking, disheveled individual who looks like they have become a drug addict. | ||
| Mal's a little bit harsh, but I'm just not going to mince words here. | ||
| I'm not going to buy your magazine. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| Do whatever you want to do. | ||
| I'm not terrified of a woman who looks bad, and she doesn't care that I think she looks bad. | ||
| She probably doesn't care for my opinions. | ||
| She probably thinks I look bad. | ||
| She's gay. | ||
| She can say that if she wants. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| The point I'll bring up is What I don't understand about Rolling Stone or whatever, and I guess I do understand, but why do you have to look like a drug addict to be a queer icon or whatever? | ||
| No, I mean, I mean it sincerely. | ||
| I mean, you take a look at the older photos of Kristen Stewart. | ||
| I mean, obviously she was gay back then, right? | ||
| She was gay then and she's gay now. | ||
| She didn't just become gay. | ||
| But what about that made her decide to, I don't know, not clean her face and hair? | ||
| No, seriously. | ||
| The photos of her... Look, I'm gonna be kind of a dick on this one, but I... Look. | ||
| I don't care to get into a spat with any celebrities or whatever. | ||
| I know the woke are gonna scream and cry. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| You do whatever you want. | ||
| I'm going to say it plainly and bluntly. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Kristen Stewart before looked like she took care of herself. | ||
| She wore makeup. | ||
| I'm not a big fan of makeup, but that's fine. | ||
| Her face was clean and she did her hair up and things like that. | ||
| Kristen Stewart in the Rolling Stone magazine looks like she just rolled out of bed and threw on some, I don't know, like Goodwill thrift store clothes. | ||
| It looks like she looks homeless. | ||
| You know, for me, it strikes a little bit close to home, because I'll tell you, the way her hair looks, greasy and dirty, her face, it really does remind me of friends that I've had who, when they became drug addicts, let themselves go. | ||
| I'm not saying she's a drug addict, I'm saying, to me, in my experience in my life, what they show of her, I'm like, yeah, that looks like a friend of mine, a couple friends, that I've known through my life, and many of you probably know the same thing. | ||
| They went from wearing, like, clean clothes, and they would clean their hair, and they would dry it, and even the guys. | ||
| And then once they started getting into drugs, they got thin and gaunt, they stopped taking care of themselves, and then they looked greasy. | ||
| They just didn't care anymore. | ||
| Maybe the reality is, for someone like Kristen Stewart, She doesn't care anymore. | ||
| Okay, that's fine. | ||
| And maybe a component of why people look disheveled after starting drugs is because it's not the drugs, it's they don't care anymore. | ||
| Let me read the story for you, and then I want to show photos and talk about the issue of Far left in attractiveness, and the right in attractiveness, because it is a scientific fact. | ||
| And the left can cry about this all day and night. | ||
| Conservatives tend to be more attractive. | ||
| More attractive people tend to be conservative. | ||
| Whatever the correlation may be, it's there. | ||
| Rolling Stone writes, Ever since 2012, when Trump wrote a string of tweets about how Robert Pattinson should dump her, Kristen Stewart has occupied a curious space in the conservative imagination. | ||
| She hasn't. | ||
| Most people don't, as Rolling Stone even pointed out, most people don't even know what movies she's been in. | ||
| It was being reminded of those comments as she's revealed in Rolling Stone's March cover story that inspired Stewart to come out as gay. | ||
| In an SNL monologue five years later. | ||
| Shedding once and for all the waif-like image thrust upon her by the Twilight Saga. | ||
| The vampire romance movies everybody knows about blah blah. | ||
| Okay, so here we have this. | ||
| This is, I don't know what YouTube's rules are on showing a Rolling Stone cover, but she's wearing what looks like a pleather vest. | ||
| Not leather, it looks fake. | ||
| With weights behind her. | ||
| And she's sticking her hand in a jockstrap. | ||
| It looks... She looks like a drug addict. | ||
| I mean that not to be mean. | ||
| I don't know how else to describe what I see when I see this. | ||
| Greasy hair, ill-kemped, Uh, strange haircut style. | ||
| Look, the people that I knew that started doing drugs didn't go and buy haircuts anymore. | ||
| The men and women that I knew that were taking care of themselves, guys, obviously, they go and they spend ten bucks, they get a trim, right? | ||
| The women that I knew were spending like a hundred or more, and probably way more than that, and they had, like, dedicated stylists, and friends of mine We're actual stylists and rented chairs at salons and had clients and all that stuff and it's, you know, it's wild. | ||
| Women know better than I do. | ||
| That's what they do. | ||
| The people that I knew who got into drugs just stopped caring and they would take scissors and go to their hair and be like, my hair is too long. | ||
| Or they would honestly, they'd be like, can you cut my hair? | ||
| It's too long. | ||
| It's kind of sad. | ||
| They say the visibility of celebrities like Stewart and lesser known LGBTQ individuals has been interpreted by far-right agitators as evidence that young people are being groomed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whatever. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't have anything to say about that. | ||
| I think they're just promoting someone who looks greasy. | ||
| I really don't know what else to say. | ||
| I think the only thing I can say about this is I don't know that this has anything to do with grooming. | ||
| I think she just looks like she doesn't care anymore. | ||
| It's kind of depressing that she gave up. | ||
| Christopher Rufo, primary architect of the astroturfed, conservative panic over critical race theory in schools, and devout enemy of DEI, had an initially rabid take on the image of Stewart. | ||
| He argued that queerness is an ideology and appears to make people miserable. | ||
| In the same post, he purposefully deadnamed actor Elliot Page, a trans man, claiming media depictions of him and Stewart are intended to demoralize. | ||
| I don't know about that. | ||
| I don't know about that. | ||
| Like, I'm quite literally saying like, I don't know. | ||
| What I've heard is that the general idea with Kristen Stewart looking disheveled and greasy is a rejection of beauty norms. | ||
| Yeah, okay. | ||
| Right. | ||
| In my view, it sounds like you don't care anymore. | ||
| Do you agree? | ||
| If you do, then we have no argument. | ||
| I don't think Kristen Stewart cares anymore. | ||
| She looks greasy and her hair looks like she doesn't take care of it at all. | ||
| Kaia Reitschick, who, uh, you know, lives of TikTok, wrote disgusting in response to Ali London. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| And, uh, look, I mean, her hair is greasy, and it's cut strangely, and it... I gotta be honest, it looks like her haircut was just cut by a friend, and it doesn't... not trying to style it in any way. | ||
| Not trying to look good. | ||
| I don't know that Hollywood did anything. | ||
| Kristen Stewart. I don't know that Hollywood did anything. | ||
| I think she just doesn't care. Look, I really do mean this when I say, like, I've had friends | ||
| who fall into drug abuse and it's sad. | ||
| And, um... Hollywood didn't make them do it. | ||
| And leftism didn't make them have greasy mullets. | ||
| It was that they didn't care anymore. | ||
| They didn't care to look good for anybody else. | ||
| The only thing they needed was that next hit. | ||
| I am not saying Kristen Stewart is a drug addict. | ||
| I'm saying there is a similarity between I just don't care anymore at all how I look and Whatever is going on with Rolling Stone and trying to show that, that's totally fine. | ||
| I don't care at all that Rolling Stone does that. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| I firmly believe Rolling Stone can present this in any way they want, and the end result is that the average person will find it not attractive or appealing. | ||
| So by all means, talk about the great queerness of Kristen Stewart and whatever you want to say, and the average person will see someone who is greasy and unkempt. | ||
| The reason why humans have aversions, not all humans but most, to Like someone who looks dirty, is that, you know, back in the day, if you were dirty, you could have disease. | ||
| You weren't cleaning, and that was a problem. | ||
| It's funny that humans didn't really understand the concept of washing your hands until like 1900 and something. | ||
| There was a doctor who was like, maybe women will stop dying in childbirth if we wash our hands off. | ||
| And then the doctor's like, what are you talking about? | ||
| Today, it's kind of like, duh. | ||
| I also wonder about the doctors in the Civil War who could have just taken a bottle of rum or whiskey and splashed it over the wound and the guy probably would have kept his leg. | ||
| Now, far be it from me, I mean, it's antiseptic, but I don't know, I'm not a doctor. | ||
| The point is, even though we didn't truly understand, the general idea of disgust, why we throw up when we see corpses, or maggots, or feces, is because it's a response. | ||
| If you ingest these things, you could die. | ||
| So humans that, uh, this is evolution. | ||
| As humans are evolving, there are some humans that barf when they see things that are gross and some that don't. | ||
| The ones that do are more likely not to be ingesting things that are toxic, poisonous, or whatever, and they're less likely to die of disease or like sepsis or something. | ||
| And those who didn't care about it were probably less likely to succeed. | ||
| This means that, right now, we know this. | ||
| Let me see. | ||
| We'll jump to that one in a second. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Swan dating. | ||
| Are right-wing people more attractive? | ||
| A recent Danish study used machine learning to predict the political bias of 3,323 people. | ||
| Based only on an analysis of their faces, its accuracy was 61%. | ||
| A good amount better than chance. | ||
| What's more, it found that good-looking faces were more likely to belong to right-wing candidates, adding to an increasingly substantial literature that finds conservative people more attractive. | ||
| They go on to mention several more studies that find this. | ||
| Now, there's a lot to break down here, but I think it really comes down to, if you're an attractive person, life's probably easier for you. | ||
| Thus, you'll think to yourself, if I could do it, why don't you? | ||
| If you're ugly, you're probably going to be a collectivist because people are not as nice to you. | ||
| You might be a bit more bitter of a person. | ||
| The trope is that you go to the RNC and you see a lot of tall men and a lot of busty women. | ||
| And you go to the DNC and you see a lot of short men and fat women. | ||
| And I'm not trying to be a dick! | ||
| It's true! | ||
| They get so mad about this. | ||
| The last time I did a segment on this, the Young Turks were like, Tim Pool's ugly though! | ||
| I don't care if you think I'm ugly! | ||
| I don't care if you think a ton of MAGA chuds are ugly, as you'd call them. | ||
| On average, conservatives tend to be more attractive. | ||
| I mean, case in point, conservatives tend to be about getting in shape and eating healthy relative to Democrats who are about being fat and being happy about it. | ||
| It's just plainly obvious. | ||
| And there's reasons why not everybody, the majority of people, do not find obesity attractive. | ||
| I don't care that Kristen Stewart wants to look the way she wants to look. | ||
| I don't care that Rolling Stone does it, and I don't fear it in any way. | ||
| I can't speak for anyone else, but let me show you this photo from Vanity Fair. | ||
| This is from, uh, this photo I believe is from like a year or so ago, and yes, she looks greasy like she doesn't take care of herself. | ||
| Her hair looks like she just doesn't care anymore. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| She doesn't have to do anything for me or look any way she doesn't want to look. | ||
| I have no issue with it whatsoever. | ||
| But in my opinion, when you look at Kristen Stewart now, it's like she's let herself go. | ||
| That's totally fine. | ||
| Let me pull up some other photos. | ||
| This one's from 2016. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Despite the fact that she has a similar haircut, her hair looks clean and taken care of. | ||
| She's wearing makeup. | ||
| I don't care about the makeup stuff. | ||
| But she doesn't look greasy. | ||
| Like, somebody who wakes up, doesn't shower, right. | ||
| Now if you're into that, and you can be, that's totally fine. | ||
| I don't think Kristen Stewart has to do anything to prove herself to anybody. | ||
| But I think it's fair to point out, that a lot of the criticism you see people saying disgusting about it, is because she looks like... Well, it looks like a drug addict. | ||
| I mean, I feel bad saying it. | ||
| I'm not saying she's a drug addict, I'm saying... | ||
| I'll say it again, like, I grew up in Chicago, lived in LA for a little bit, lived in Seattle. | ||
| I knew people. | ||
| You know, I had a friend in Chicago. | ||
| You look at the pictures from high school. | ||
| Looks like this. | ||
| And then, after high school, fell into drugs. | ||
| Heroin. | ||
| And then every day, just like, sunken cheeks, greasy face, messy hair that was not washed or cleaned. | ||
| And I'm like, man, that breaks my heart to see this. | ||
| Like, what happened? | ||
| You used to take care of yourself. | ||
| It sucks. | ||
| So this is from an article. | ||
| This is from 2016. | ||
| And there's a bunch of other photos. | ||
| This is from 2023. | ||
| I mean, look, once again, I'm sorry. | ||
| Like, the hair... Kristen's hair is greasy. | ||
| I'll say it again. | ||
| I don't... Look, you can look however you want to look, man. | ||
| Stoner girl comedy. | ||
| She's writing a stoner girl comedy. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| I wish you the best. | ||
| Maybe the people that you've, you know, shifted towards will support you. | ||
| And I hope you succeed. | ||
| I hope there are many people who find you attractive, and you live the life you want to live, and ain't nobody tells you what for. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| In my opinion, in my life, which, again, I say, has no bearing on yours, or anybody who enjoys what, you know, there are guys who like fat chicks. | ||
| I remember when Jordan Peterson was ragging on this fat chick on a cover, and I was like, hey, look, you know, let the fat chicks have their day. | ||
| Some people like fat chicks. | ||
| I'm just saying, like, there's gonna be a lot of people who are like, that's gross. | ||
| What we end up seeing is stuff like this. | ||
| Look, man. | ||
| them.us. Why is no one in the DMs? Dylan Mulvaney discussed dating as a trans woman. The TikTok | ||
| star is quote, somebody who should not be single. Look, man, I don't know what to tell you. Okay. | ||
| I saw this post and it said something like incel dumb is a choice. | ||
| And it was a picture of this dude who was like, he's kinda ugly. | ||
| Except, he was JACKED! | ||
| He's like, I started exercising, and everything changed for me. | ||
| Because, it really is, for guys, about, like, improvement, and things like that. | ||
| And, uh, for women, they can certainly do things to make themselves more or less attractive. | ||
| Some women are just naturally not that good-looking. | ||
| And that's a challenge, too. | ||
| I mean, it's a reality. | ||
| I'm not trying to be mean here. | ||
| For guys, you can be an ugly guy, but you improve yourself, get in shape, study hard, and become the best of the best in the areas you can, and you'll find love, and you'll succeed. | ||
| So let's talk about Dylan Mulvaney. | ||
| I do not like Dylan Mulvaney. | ||
| I believe Dylan Mulvaney is a liar. | ||
| I don't believe that Dylan Mulvaney is actually trans. | ||
| I believe that Dylan Mulvaney puts on this trans face to mock women and trans people because it gets internet clicks. | ||
| Like the famous hiking heels in the woods video Dylan Mulvaney produced. | ||
| Uh, look. | ||
| We have friends of the show who are transgender, okay? | ||
| They don't put on heels and go run to the forest going, hehehehehe! | ||
| That's like someone's trying to make fun of them and insult them. | ||
| Women also don't do this. | ||
| Dylan Mulvaney had a video where it was like, now that I'm a woman, I'm gonna cry for no reason, go shopping and buy things I can't afford, and it was like, you're just insulting women. | ||
| Let's talk about Dylan Mulvaney dating. | ||
| I don't care what Dylan Mulvaney does, but I'm sorry. | ||
| A masculine, plastic mannequin face. | ||
| Look, Dylan in this interview says they're struggling to date. | ||
| Okay, well, I don't know the life or dating history of Dylan Mulvaney, nor do I care to investigate. | ||
| But upon this story going viral, many people made the point. | ||
| Perhaps it's because you look unattractive. | ||
| You look like you're made of plastic. | ||
| You're a manly, effeminate individual. | ||
| Masculine features with a tall, wide shoulders and slim hips. | ||
| Tall, slender and lanky body. | ||
| With a strange vocal intonation. | ||
| And when I mean strange, I don't mean that in a condescending way, I mean atypical. | ||
| If, let me do this. | ||
| If swan.date, which I actually don't know what it is, it's like a dating website. | ||
| If they highlight, they're highlighting this Danish study. | ||
| I was reminded of The Science of Sex, which is this documentary I saw. | ||
| It's really old, like 20 years old probably. | ||
| You can take a picture of a human being and show it to another human being anywhere in the world, and they will tell you whether or not they think the person is beautiful. | ||
| And there is an average standard based upon human perception as to what is attractive and what is not. | ||
| Okay, some people have less than typical proclivities. | ||
| And so long as they are legal, I mean, you know, and not harming somebody or minors, fine, I guess. | ||
| You know, no animals, that's weird. | ||
| But like, if a guy likes, you know, if dudes are into fat chicks, it's like, yeah, do your thing, man. | ||
| You know, everybody deserves love, I guess. | ||
| But on average, there is an attractive face and unattractive faces. | ||
| This means that for someone like Dylan Mulvaney, wondering why they're not having a date, it's because the overwhelming majority of people will look at you and say, you are gross. | ||
| I am not trying to be mean. | ||
| I'm saying, they're gonna say, I am not, I am disgusted by this. | ||
| The same thing with Kristen Stewart in this magazine cover. | ||
| You know, for me personally, I feel disgust when I see the photos of Kristen Stewart. | ||
| I will stress this again. | ||
| To all the leftists who are going to whinge and complain about this video or whatever, you are allowed to be disgusted by me, to call me ugly, all the names in the book, you are allowed to do that because people have different perspectives and opinions. | ||
| I do not think I am He-Man, Most Attractive, Chad, or anything like that. | ||
| I'm not saying that at all. | ||
| I'm saying that everybody has their different views. | ||
| And when I see a female with, you know, like a greasy face and greasy hair, and it's a mullet, and they're wearing, like, clothes that look like they came out of a Goodwill... Again, I mean it factually and literally. | ||
| I'm not insulting her choice of clothes. | ||
| I'm saying, like, it looks like they grabbed stuff off the rack at a thrift store. | ||
| It just looks... it looks gross to me. | ||
| I'm entitled to my opinion, you're entitled to yours. | ||
| Again, by all means, comment, leftist, and say I'm gross. | ||
| That's fine, I got crooked teeth, I got no hair, whatever you wanna... I'm missing a tooth, actually. | ||
| Genetically missing a tooth. | ||
| I'm sure that's unattractive to a lot of people. | ||
| For the left to write this article saying that the right is terrified of this. | ||
| It's like, if you wrote an article being like, right-wingers are not attracted to Kristen Stewart, nobody would care. | ||
| Because it's like, she's not trying to attract right-wingers. | ||
| She's certainly not trying to attract me. | ||
| She's gay. | ||
| And I'm like, okay, I'm fine with that. | ||
| But there is this phenomenon of, we know, human beings have preference for what is attractive and what is not. | ||
| What they've done to a lot of these people is they've stripped them of their general human appeal because it's a fact, it exists. | ||
| And then bragged about it. | ||
| And then insulted anybody who pointed that out. | ||
| I don't know, I, you know, look, we periodically do these segments about Christian, about, I'm sorry, conservatives being more, uh, Christians, conservatives being more attractive, and it's a fact. | ||
| It just is. | ||
| Maybe it's because conservatives want to be more attractive. | ||
| It really comes down to that. | ||
| Fat people who are unattractive just want to be fat and justify it, and they make the body positivity movement. | ||
| And then people on the right are constantly trying to figure out what carbs or seed oils or whatever garbage they're not supposed to be eating. | ||
| I love this. | ||
| Conservatives and libertarians, SEED OILS ARE THE BAD THING NOW! | ||
| It's like, eh, you know. | ||
| Cut the carbs, take more protein in, all that stuff. | ||
| It's like whatever this side is, we're trying to be the best we can. | ||
| And the other side is saying, accept me no matter what I do. | ||
| It's kind of like the masculine and the feminine, you know? | ||
| Anyway, it is what it is. | ||
| I can't speak for anybody else, but I'm certainly not terrified of someone. | ||
| I just think, we're not meant for each other. | ||
| other. Kristen Stewart certainly doesn't find me attractive and I'm glad she | ||
| doesn't have to and she can call me whatever names. If she came out and said | ||
| I think Tim Pool is disgusting I'd say yeah fair point you know like that's okay. | ||
| You know, you're gay. | ||
| I assume you don't like the way I look. | ||
| I got facial hair, whatever. | ||
| And I also find your Rolling Stone images to be off-putting and gross. | ||
| It's not personal. | ||
| I mean, I guess maybe it kind of is. | ||
| I don't hate you. | ||
| You know, I don't hate Rolling Stone. | ||
| They can do whatever they want. | ||
| I'm just gonna go buy magazines of, like, you know, things I do like. | ||
| Well, to be real, I'm not gonna buy a magazine. | ||
| But you get the point. | ||
| I'll leave it there. | ||
| Next segment's coming up at, um... I don't know. | ||
| The next segment will be coming up on this channel at some point. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then. | ||
| I've seen a lot of clips of Tucker Carlson in Russia. | ||
| Well, a couple of them. | ||
| The Moscow subway and the supermarket videos are getting criticized by basically everybody. | ||
| And they're saying that Tucker Carlson missed the beat on this one. | ||
| He goes to the Moscow Metro. | ||
| Which looks beautiful, by the way. | ||
| And he goes to a supermarket. | ||
| He says that upon seeing just how nice everything is, he's been radicalized against Western leaders. | ||
| I believe that Tucker Carlson is overwhelmingly correct. | ||
| But I do believe nuance is required for this conversation, so I'll push back a little bit and kind of break down some of the myths. | ||
| I suppose the false impression that may be given just by seeing one supermarket and one train station, I think most people understand exactly what I'm going to do here. | ||
| Not a surprise to anybody. | ||
| That's why I say I actually agree with Tucker. | ||
| When I see just how beautiful things can be and how orderly they can be in a country like Moscow, or a country like Russia, in a city like Moscow, I lament the failings of New York City and Washington D.C. | ||
| and Chicago, and questions need to be asked about why is this happening. | ||
| Now, many people are pointing out that with Tucker Carlson's video from the Moscow subway, the question is, how is it that a poorer nation than us could have something so beautiful? | ||
| How is it that with all of our private capital, we don't have something better? | ||
| Someone wrote a thread where they basically said that Moscow's subway was built by bringing in capitalists from Western Europe to build something beautiful so that the communists could claim they have beautiful things and that communism works. | ||
| Whereas most of the country was starving and in failure, they had one beautiful subway station. | ||
| Which is basically what I want to show you. | ||
| I'm going to play a little bit of Tucker Carlson's video, which many of you have probably already seen. | ||
| But let's not, uh... Look, I understand we're upset about Biden and the deep state and the corruption, but I'm not going to give any credit to Vladimir Putin. | ||
| One of the ways you understand a society is through its infrastructure, the places where people gather, the places where they go to travel. | ||
| You've got a lot of people in one place, it tells you a lot about the people. | ||
| So with that in mind, we're standing in front of the Kyivskaya metro station, and there's a train station next to it. | ||
| Now the metro station was built by Joseph Stalin 70 years ago. | ||
| And the question is, how's it doing now? | ||
| After 70 years. | ||
| So we went into it to take a look, and what we found shocked us. | ||
| Now, that's not an endorsement of Stalin. | ||
| It was bad, obviously. | ||
| Nor is it an endorsement of the current president, Vladimir Putin. | ||
| You may not like him either. | ||
| But it doesn't change the reality of what we saw or, more precisely, didn't see. | ||
| There's no graffiti. | ||
| There's no filth. | ||
| There's no foul smells. | ||
| There are no bums or drug addicts or rapists or people waiting to push you onto the train tracks and kill you. | ||
| Now hold on. | ||
| I gotta pause right there. | ||
| Tucker just showed a rat dragging a breadstick. | ||
| I find that endearing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I enjoy seeing small woodland creatures forage through the garbage. | |
| I'm only half kidding, actually. | ||
| It's disgusting. | ||
| But come on! | ||
| Watching that little bitty rat try and pull that gigantic breadstick is hilarious! | ||
| I wouldn't want to live there, but you know, we're having a good time. | ||
| No. | ||
| It's perfectly clean and orderly. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| And how do you explain that? | ||
| We're not even going to guess. | ||
| That's not our job. | ||
| We're only going to ask the question. | ||
| And if your response is to shout at us slogans dumber than the slogans we used to call Soviet and mock, that's not really an answer. | ||
| All right, here we go. | ||
| Entering the Moscow subway. | ||
| It's beautiful. | ||
| Look at these paintings. | ||
| Neurals. | ||
| Mosaics, it appears. | ||
| Frilly frames. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Beautiful music. | |
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| Chandeliers. | ||
| It is actually quite a sight. | ||
| I am... I am... You know, I look at this and I'm very impressed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Except for, you know, all the communist imagery, which I am not a fan of. | |
| Now here's what's interesting. | ||
| Where the train actually comes in, you can see this beautiful... You know, the arch design of it. | ||
| They've actually sealed off a lot of the more, I don't know, guttural and industrial, uh, you know, sight. | ||
| We don't do that in our subways. | ||
| Alright, that being said, I understand the Moscow subway looks beautiful and look at all this. | ||
| No graffiti. | ||
| Okay, first, so a little bit of pushback on Tucker Carlson before we completely agree with him. | ||
| Let me see if I can find this article that I pulled up. | ||
| Here we go! | ||
| This is from Russia Beyond, the seven ugliest metro stations of the Moscow metro. | ||
| Did you think that all of the train stations would be beautiful? | ||
| Well, Tucker never said that. | ||
| He said the Moscow station, which was built by Stalin, looks awesome. | ||
| And how does it maintain this way? | ||
| That's a fair point. | ||
| Probably because they take a harsh penalty against anybody who would defile such a beautiful train station because it matters to them. | ||
| As for their other train stations, they look no different from most other train stations. | ||
| That being said, even these photos ragging on Russia's Moscow still look a lot better than Chicago and New York. | ||
| I gotta be fair. | ||
| But they're more dirty, you know what I mean? | ||
| You got one here. | ||
| You can see that the... It's... Of course it's not going to be clean. | ||
| What is that? | ||
| Is that a pigeon's nest or something? | ||
| Look, you've got stains on the wall. | ||
| You've got filthy ground. | ||
| It's not the worst I've seen. | ||
| Certainly New York looks a bit more disgusting. | ||
| Fair point. | ||
| But it looks more normal. | ||
| It is not... You know, here we go in the... The Preschkaia Gray Line. | ||
| It looks more like a New York subway. | ||
| It's like... You know, these photos probably make it look nicer than it really is. | ||
| You can take nice photos of the New York subway as well. | ||
| This one, the, um, Melodio Zanaya, the blue line, actually looks fairly gross and quite like a typical subway station. | ||
| You know, I think the point that I'm trying to make here is, it is fair to say, like, wow, no graffiti, things are beautiful, the trains aren't defiled. | ||
| Yes, that is a good point brought up by Tucker Carlson about Russian society. | ||
| They are poorer than us. | ||
| They do have this, like, de facto dictatorship under Putin, who's basically been in charge forever. | ||
| But there's order. | ||
| Fair to point out. | ||
| Find your balance. | ||
| I will now point out another counterance of this beautiful photo of the Oculus. | ||
| Yeah, this is the Oculus in New York City. | ||
| It is a big ol' American flag, people are walking around shopping, there's no graffiti, everything's clean. | ||
| Now here's what I have to say about this. | ||
| Modern, brutalist, and disgusting. | ||
| Yeah, this is a train station in New York. | ||
| It's where the World Trade Center is. | ||
| If you're gonna go to Grand Central Station, if you're gonna go to Penn Station, if you're gonna go to the Oculus, you're gonna see beauty. | ||
| You're not gonna see a lot of graffiti. | ||
| You're gonna see, you know, cops there being like, don't you try it. | ||
| But you go to the outskirts, you see things that are bad. | ||
| So I think it's fair to point out that Moscow has nice things, and that people are a bit more orderly, and it is less filthy, even when it is filthy. | ||
| But I think it's also important to point out, like, you know, the U.S. | ||
| has nice things, too. | ||
| That being said, the Oculus is brutalist, sterile, and gross, and I'm no fan of it, but I can recognize it as clean and nice. | ||
| The Oculus, located as one of the most beautiful subway stations, this is, um, adventures only, the 27 most beautiful subway stations in New York City. | ||
| We gotta give ourselves some credit here, and the reason why I think it's important to give this counter view to what Tucker was saying is, we're here to fight for something. | ||
| We're not here to just be like, everything's bad, it sucks, get away from the cities. | ||
| No, the reason why we challenge the corruption and want to improve it, and I think Tucker would agree, is because we want the beauty. | ||
| We want to protect the beauty. | ||
| We are jealous of what Moscow has in their train station. | ||
| That's what I get from this. | ||
| Grand Central Terminal, beautiful. | ||
| Fulton Center, also fairly nice. | ||
| Now, I love this one, guys. | ||
| I could not, I could not be, I have to be fair. | ||
| The number four most beautiful in New York is the colorful passage at 191st. | ||
| It is disgusting! | ||
| Stained ground, graffiti, and garbage littering the sides of the tunnel. | ||
| Please, spare me. | ||
| Hudson Yards looks very nice. | ||
| You've got great art at a bunch of these stations. | ||
| I can completely agree. | ||
| City Hall Station is a sight to behold, but let's not, uh... That's been closed down since 1904, but it is tremendous and beautiful. | ||
| It's kind of sad that we don't really have these nice things anymore. | ||
| And it's all, like, things we once did a long time ago. | ||
| But a lot of these train stations do look nice. | ||
| There's great photos, they're not disgusting. | ||
| However, Tucker is completely right about what we are seeing right now. | ||
| With homelessness, with, you know, our airports being just full of illegal immigrants, it's getting bad. | ||
| And that's the important point. | ||
| Certainly we can look at old photos and say, oh, look how things were. | ||
| Over the past few years, things have been falling apart, and I agree with Tucker. | ||
| Now, here's one that I don't completely agree with. | ||
| I'll play this clip for you. | ||
| He goes to the supermarket. | ||
| I went from amused to legitimately angry. | ||
| So we were guessing what this would cost. | ||
| Everybody here is from the United States, buys groceries, and we didn't pay any attention to costs. | ||
| We were just putting in the cart what we would actually eat over a week. | ||
| And we all came in around 400 bucks, about 400 bucks. | ||
| It was $104 US here. | ||
| And that's when you start to realize that ideology maybe doesn't matter as much as you thought. | ||
| Corruption. | ||
| If you take people's standard of living and you tank it through filth and crime and inflation, and they literally can't buy the groceries they want, At that point, maybe it matters less what you say or whether you're a good person or a bad person. | ||
| You're wrecking people's lives in their country. | ||
| He's right. | ||
| But many people have pointed out that the average salary in Russia is about 20% of an American. | ||
| So while it may be $103 for $400 worth of groceries that you'd get in the United States, it's comparable to the salary. | ||
| That is, it's the basic cost of living of the country. | ||
| I think what Tucker gets right about all of this is that there is a degree of order and cleanliness in many other countries, particularly Moscow, that the United States has lost. | ||
| It's not just Moscow, though. | ||
| You can go to a lot of countries. | ||
| You go to China. | ||
| It's got its good, it's got its bad. | ||
| But I think something is inherently wrong with what's happening right now in the United States, with the border crisis, with the corruption. | ||
| This country's being gutted and destroyed. | ||
| Over the past few years, we are losing what makes this country beautiful and great. | ||
| And for that, I think Tucker Carlson hits the nail on the head with a hammer. | ||
| I guess we have to remain vigilant and fight back. | ||
| And I respect the general idea of what Tucker is saying. | ||
| I do think it warranted a more nuanced approach. | ||
| But I think we need to remember the beautiful things we do have. | ||
| Because that's what we're trying to protect. | ||
| And if we ignore it, then Grand Central will become a cesspit. | ||
| And it's starting. | ||
| I mean, New York is falling apart. | ||
| So we gotta be vigilant. | ||
| And this is what we're fighting for. | ||
| I'll leave it there. | ||
| Next segment's coming up at 6 p.m. | ||
| on this channel. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out and I'll see you all then. | ||
| I'm not gonna waste time. | ||
| I think it's a publicity stunt. | ||
| I don't believe it's real. | ||
| The show starts immediately with Dana White just leaving. | ||
| Cameras immediately pan to all the reactions. | ||
| Howie Mandel even says they didn't expect Dana White to be there. | ||
| Here's what I think. | ||
| Uh, for those that haven't seen the clip, I'll play the clip, but I just want to jump right into the meat and potatoes. | ||
| I think Dana White was probably in town or something and said, I'm sorry I can't do it. | ||
| You know, I can pop by, say hello, and they'll be like, why don't you come on and, you know, we'll do a bit or something. | ||
| I think it's fake. | ||
| It's possible it's real. | ||
| It's possible it's real. | ||
| I think it's fake. | ||
| And so what ends up happening is this story pops up. | ||
| I see everybody talking about it yesterday, and I didn't really care to comment on it, but I've been getting tagged by a lot of people because of Kanye West. | ||
| Or Ye. | ||
| As he goes by now. | ||
| Famously, we had Yay! | ||
| I'm TimCastIRL. | ||
| We had I think around like 200 and some-odd thousand concurrent viewers. | ||
| Massive show. | ||
| And 28 minutes in, he gets up and leaves. | ||
| So many people are saying like, hey, this is just like that. | ||
| I believe that was also a publicity stunt. | ||
| I've said it several times and I can break down exactly what happened with that. | ||
| But based on my experience as but a humble podcaster, I can give you my thoughts on why I think this is a publicity stunt, why it's probably fake. | ||
| And so we'll get into the inner workings of the podcast world and what it's like. | ||
| And I'll break down for you the process by which we book guests, how they come on the show, and why I don't believe this for a second. | ||
| Dana White, walk off the Howie Mandel Show. | ||
| I am so effing tired of doing podcasts. | ||
| I am not going to play for you the clip. | ||
| I'm gonna show you the actual podcast from Howie Mandel. | ||
| We have it right here on YouTube. | ||
| Let's roll, baby, because only a minute in. | ||
| Welcome to Howie Mandel Does Stuff. | ||
| I'm Howie Mandel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm Jacqueline Schultz, his daughter. | |
| Today's a twofer, Jackie. | ||
| Today we get, uh, we knew that Ginger Billy was coming in, but we didn't know because I requested. | ||
| If you watched the live last week, I told you I, uh, I was wishing. | ||
| And sometimes when you wish upon a star, the star shows up. | ||
| Dana White, you are an amazing guy. | ||
| I can't thank you enough for being here. | ||
| You and Ginger seem to be getting along. | ||
| You are not only an amazing businessman, you are an inspiration, you are a philosopher. | ||
| The way you do business, the way you conduct your business and your friendships and media is... I'm jealous. | ||
| But Dana, I can't Thank you enough for being here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you for all the kind words. | |
| I appreciate it. | ||
| I am so fucking tired of doing podcasts. | ||
| It's I'm literally done with them. | ||
| I'm not doing any more podcasts. | ||
| And now he's taking his headphones off, getting up and leaving. | ||
| And Howie Mandel looks shocked and Ginger Billy is confused. | ||
| And the cameras pan around, so, hmm. | ||
| We have an illustrious guest from the other side of the country, South Carolina? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, sir. | |
| So this is clearly an edited show, not live like Timcast IRL, so I suppose the reactions would be different. | ||
| Let me first entertain the possibilities of why it could be real that Dana White stormed off, from my perspective, as a podcast producer, CEO, all that stuff. | ||
| Tim Cast IRL is a world's top podcast. | ||
| For a period, the Tim Pool Daily Show was as well, but when I reduced volume and shifted to producing Tim Cast IRL, I think the peak position for the Tim Pool Morning Show was actually the 34th biggest podcast in the world, and something similar for Tim Cast IRL, although I don't know if Tim Cast IRL ever got into any of the higher positions, and the challenge for IRL mostly is Core viewership is on YouTube, which doesn't track for podcast rankings, so it is what it is. | ||
| I think, um... I know where the numbers are. | ||
| If we, like, tripled our viewership on iTunes, Spotify, uh, we would be, like, a top 10, probably, but we're big. | ||
| Uh, IRL's a decently big show. | ||
| We get the consi- we get consistently the highest live viewership on YouTube, but so- so I'll- I'll tell you my pers- my perspective. | ||
| Let's break this down. | ||
| Uh, Dana White looks visibly agitated when the show starts. | ||
| He's, like, you know, seems to be visibly agitated for some reason. | ||
| I don't know that I'd buy it. | ||
| But maybe, whatever. | ||
| The one thing I can say as to why Howie Mandel walked off is, uh, I'm sorry, why Dana White walked off Howie Mandel's show, is, dude, I gotta be honest, you are such a great businessman, and your friendships, I'm so jealous of you, you're so great, aw, jeez, yeah, I might get up and walk out of a room if someone was saying that to me, I'd be like, okay, I probably wouldn't walk out, but I'd be like, I get it, I get it, I get it, come on, like, what are we talking about here? | ||
| That being said, a minute into the show, An edited show? | ||
| Not a live show? | ||
| I don't buy it for a second. | ||
| What I think likely happened is... I don't know if I mentioned this earlier, but maybe I did, but... You know, Dana White was probably in town. | ||
| Howie Mandel's a superstar. | ||
| Come on, remember Bobby's World? | ||
| Howie's been around for a long time. | ||
| I think he's fantastic. | ||
| And, uh, he probably had reached out to Dana White's people and they were like, yeah, sorry, can't do it, not really interested, but could maybe pop by and say what's up. | ||
| And they were like, well, let's just do like a quick bit, like, you know, we'll have you storm off or whatever, and then you bounce out, you'll get a lot of attention or something. | ||
| Could have been more complicated than that. | ||
| Or maybe, maybe not at all. | ||
| Maybe Dana White literally is just gonna screw over someone like that. | ||
| I don't think that's the case. | ||
| But let's entertain the possibility. | ||
| Do we believe that Dana White would screw over someone to such a degree? | ||
| I don't know that I think he would. | ||
| I think Dana's, like, a decent guy. | ||
| I think he could stand to sit around for one hour if he was uncomfortable and just get it over with, considering the PR and everything that would come out of it. | ||
| But it's entirely possible. | ||
| I'm going to tell you about my experience with Kanye and why... Yeah, I don't believe this for a second. | ||
| So, look. | ||
| First, let's talk about getting screwed over. | ||
| We pay for all guests' travel and accommodation. | ||
| We reach out to a lot of people. | ||
| We want them to come. | ||
| And sometimes we don't. | ||
| If they're politicians, they got to cover their own stuff. | ||
| We don't do that for politicians. | ||
| And we don't gift them anything or anything like that. | ||
| If you're a politician and you're booked, that's your problem. | ||
| But for everybody else, you know, we'll pay for flights and hotels. | ||
| We have drivers pick them up from the airport. | ||
| We bring them in. | ||
| When someone cancels on us, it is miserable. | ||
| But this is why we do two things. | ||
| We book in advance. | ||
| Sometimes there are changes. | ||
| Tonight's guest was an abrupt switch, but we're really excited for tonight's guest. | ||
| We also, as you may have noticed, do not announce our guests, unless it is clear and confirmed, and the guests themselves have announced it. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because they cancel. | ||
| If we launched a show, we're live, so there's a difference. | ||
| But if we launched a show, and within one minute, the person left, We would take the person out of the title, we would take the person out of the thumbnail. | ||
| I'm fairly certain we did this for the Des Moines caucus, the Iowa caucus. | ||
| Vivek Ramaswamy was slated to be on the show that Monday, and he never showed up. | ||
| And we now know why he did not show up. | ||
| Certainly more important things were happening than him following through. | ||
| It did screw us over. | ||
| We did have to scramble mid-show, but afterwards, we took his name out, and we took him out of the thumbnail. | ||
| He's not on the show. | ||
| Why, then, does Howie Mandel have Dana White Leaves Us Shocked in the title, and you have him in the thumbnail? | ||
| Ginger Billy and Dana White listed. | ||
| Well, because it's a PR stunt. | ||
| You put Dana White in the thumbnail, you get the clicks. | ||
| Dana White storms off the podcast in the first minute, boom! | ||
| You get the views and attention. | ||
| They looked shocked, the camera switches back and forth, they edited that! | ||
| They chose to include this! | ||
| Look, if we were doing a pre... We've done pre-shoots before. | ||
| We have done several pre-recorded shows for various reasons. | ||
| We have to do it. | ||
| Everybody does. | ||
| And, uh, one was because it was holidays. | ||
| We weren't gonna be able to be in the studio on a Friday, so for the Culture War, we did a pre-record. | ||
| And if we were one minute into the show, and the guest got up and left, we would press stop recording and go, well, gee, what do we do now? | ||
| So I'm sorry, I don't buy it for one second. | ||
| Now, I get asked a lot about the Kanye stuff, and I know that you guys who watch my show more often have heard me say it, but I get asked enough where I'll give you the quick gist of what goes down in the situation with Ye. | ||
| He's the only walk-off we've ever had, and I believe it was a publicity stunt. | ||
| Why? | ||
| We booked their travel. | ||
| Very expensive travel for the whole crew. | ||
| Nick Fuentes, Miley Yiannopoulos, Kanye West. | ||
| I believe it was from Los Angeles to D.C. | ||
| and then back. | ||
| Very, very difficult. | ||
| We also booked them a house. | ||
| We rented a whole house. | ||
| A very nice one. | ||
| On the lake. | ||
| All the fixins. | ||
| Because we're like, in order to secure us a high-profile guest, grateful to Ye that he would come on our show, he stormed off, but he has no many favors, and I think it ultimately worked out for us, and for him, and whatever it is he wanted. | ||
| We got a lot of attention for it. | ||
| I meet so many people on the streets who are like, you interviewed Ye! | ||
| And I'm like, I did, I mean, it was wild. | ||
| But when they showed up, The first thing they say is, don't worry about the house. | ||
| And I'm like, where will you sleep? | ||
| We got you. | ||
| Maybe they'll go somewhere else and they'll find their own hotel or something like that. | ||
| So it's like, it is what it is. | ||
| 28 minutes in, he storms out. | ||
| Milo and Nick go with him. | ||
| They make it to the airport where there is a private jet fueled up, ready to fly, and waiting for them. | ||
| Which, a lot of people aren't familiar with how private charters work, but I will just tell you this. | ||
| Um, we had, we have a circumstance, we've had many, where we will book a private charter and the prices, depending on where you go, can range from somewhere around $8,000 to $30,000, uh, in the region. | ||
| And if you're traveling to Los Angeles, whoo. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| A hundred grand? | ||
| Now the issue is there are FAA restrictions on whether or not someone can work, and there's like an eight-hour window. | ||
| It's complicated, but the general thing I'm told is you can't just call a guy and say fly. | ||
| They have to have cleared eight hours of rest or something for obvious reasons. | ||
| So the fact that after they stormed out of the show there was a private jet waiting for them is indicative of they pre-booked a private jet. | ||
| Certainly Ye is wealthy enough and has enough wealthy friends. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| They were able to pull some magic off. | ||
| It's possible, you know. | ||
| But wow, pulling a charter in from Mercer Airport, New Jersey, within an hour of the show, having a crew ready and waiting to pilot this on a cross-country trip, So the first thing that happens is we called our broker and we're like, whoa, there's a paparazzi video of them boarding a private jet. | ||
| Did you guys get them a jet? | ||
| Like what's going on? | ||
| And they said, no. | ||
| And I said, is it possible to do something like this? | ||
| And they said, no. | ||
| They were like, the best we've ever pulled off and we've ever seen is like, like some, I think it was like Elon or somebody flying 10 minutes and it was like a local flight. | ||
| So they just moved a plane back and forth over the span of a half an hour or something like that. | ||
| I don't see a reality in which Dana White travels to Howie Mandel's studio and then just bounces instantly, unless it is something like, I can swing by for a minute, I'll say what's up, shake your hand, big fan of what you do, and then it's like, well, we can have you, uh, like, we'll do a bit real quick, you don't gotta stick around, and he was like, okay, and then, you know, we'll have you storm off. | ||
| I kind of feel like... Let me just put it this way. | ||
| Final thoughts. | ||
| It's a pre-recorded show. | ||
| If Dana White showed up and immediately stormed off within one minute of the show, why would Howie Mandel not say, okay, cut. | ||
| Let's just start the show over and Dana White won't be here. | ||
| Why then include him in the thumbnail? | ||
| Because opening the show with that is a publicity stunt. | ||
| Perfectly a publicity stunt. | ||
| Now, I don't know that Dana White intended to do it. | ||
| It could be, or, uh, intended to do a publicity stunt. | ||
| It could be that he literally just stormed off the show, and Howie was like, well, we'll roll with it. | ||
| We'll use it. | ||
| It'll generate press for us. | ||
| Because it did, and here I am talking about it. | ||
| But I don't buy it. | ||
| I don't buy it. | ||
|

|
Whatever. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| I felt like talking about it. | ||
| It is what it is. | ||
