You don't want to miss it.
Now, let's get into the news.
This past weekend, Donald Trump arrived at Wildwood, New Jersey, and the estimates are between 80 and 100,000 people showed up to hear this man speak in New Jersey.
Now, the area that Wildwood is in, it's a mixed district.
It's 50-50, you know?
It's a moderate district.
We used to do Tim Kesta IRL in the morning show from slightly north of this.
I think it's District 2, I could be wrong.
But we were just north in a Democrat district, and we wished we were in the southern one because it was literally a mile or two away from us.
But many people are suggesting this is showing the red wave cometh.
I'm going to pause.
I'm going to show you the pictures.
Let me show you the pictures.
We can talk about the red wave.
We can talk about all the Trump supporters.
Now we can talk about the shadow campaign.
Because we can sit here all day and night and say, look how great things are for Donald Trump.
But anybody remember the 2020 cycle?
How many indicators did we get that Donald Trump was poised to win?
Moody's Analytics.
I love this one.
The economic forecast suggested Donald Trump had the highest probability to win handily.
Handily.
And he didn't.
Now, I mean, you may argue that he did win.
He did win.
Trump's not in the White House.
I don't count winning by who had the best argument, who actually convinced the American people.
Winning is who has the power.
And we thought, based on the argument, Trump was going to win.
And right now, Trump certainly has the argument because, of course, Biden is worse than he's ever been!
But I wonder.
I really do.
Mario Nawfal on Twitter says, the largest political candidate rally in history?
Officials of Wildwood, New Jersey estimate that between 80,000 and 100,000 people attended Trump's beach rally.
Was it the biggest?
Maybe for a Republican.
In 2008, St.
Louis hosted Obama's rally to 100,000 people.
Well, let's take a look at that.
Obama, St.
Louis, 100k.
Let's see if we can get a photo.
100,000 turnout for a rally.
Okay, well, there's NPR, there's no photos.
Let me try if I can just jump to the photos here.
Here we go.
We do have, uh, I believe we do have a photo.
It's 2008, so it is a pretty crummy photo.
But, uh, there you go.
An estimated 100,000 people attend a rally at Arch Park in St.
Louis.
Now, now hold on there a minute.
I'll tell you what.
If they're saying between 80 and 100, why don't we just say an estimated 100,000 people?
We'll call it a draw.
How about that?
Because I'm not sure how much it matters.
Certainly it feels good.
I'm sure many of you are Trump supporters and believe that Trump is our most sane and logical path towards securing the border and making this country safe again.
Did you hear Steve Buscemi?
The famous actor got punched in the face in New York randomly?
Well, Hollywood actors can't even walk down the street without getting punched.
I mean, what are we supposed to do?
A lot of us want to believe that Americans truly want a better country, to save this country, and for all of his faults, Trump kind of is the best guy for the job.
But I gotta tell ya, shadow campaign.
Here we go, let's see if I can, I don't know, maybe they don't want me to read this article.
Wildwood Rally shows Trump's base has only grown louder and prouder since 2016.
But louder and prouder among who?
I mean, who's joining the ranks of Donald Trump's base?
Or are they suggesting it has not grown one bit?
Certainly, it has grown.
The Philadelphia Inquirer says, as former President Donald Trump stood on stage
in the sand in Wildwood, he spoke to a sea of his fiercest fans
gathering at the foot of Wildwood's famous Great White Roller Coaster.
They poured onto the Wildwood beach hours earlier.
Many came in pickup trucks decked out in Trump flags with license plates from up and down the East Coast.
The country is headed in the wrong direction, said Kelly Carter Currier,
62, a retired teacher from New Hampshire who wore a Trump New Hampshire license plate around her
unidentified
neck.
tim pool
So hopefully people will get their ish together and will vote the right person in, and if they don't, I don't know, World War III?
I'd just like to pause and take a moment.
Yeah, really, those are the stakes that we're staring down the barrel of.
Joe Biden is driving us full speed into World War Three.
And unfortunately, I got to say, I'm not sure Trump could avert it at this point, even if he did become president.
I was I was saying a year ago, I believe that Donald Trump could end the war.
The moment he got elected, the war would be over because Russia and Ukraine would be like, well, that's it.
Now, I'm not so sure.
Now I'm not so sure, because even with Trump's strength and his, let's call it assertiveness and unpredictability, if those are some words I could choose, it may be a foregone conclusion.
Russia is in, and there's escalation happening.
By the time Trump becomes president, we may be a boulder rolling down a hill.
In an election that has been defined by disenfranchisement from a large portion of the electorate, Trump's core supporters have remained a loud, proud, and seemingly immovable bloc, even as the former president faces felony indictments across four jurisdictions.
No, you don't get it, Inquirer.
Maybe if you actually talked to some people, maybe you could listen to a show like this.
The indictments are inflaming his base.
No one believes they're legitimate, not even Bill Maher.
Yeah, I'll get to that later today.
Bill Maher SHOCKED saying Stormy Daniels is lying!
Really, Bill?
You know, the guy sometimes pays attention.
I got a 30-second clip here of this rally.
Let's play a clip of this rally here for you.
unidentified
It's playing very, very dramatic music of some sort.
tim pool
I don't think we actually need music.
For those that are listening, you can't see it.
It's just a massive crowd.
As Donald Trump is speaking, this is a massive crowd.
And Wildwood is a really awesome place, by the way.
It's super fun.
Cool place.
And to see all of these people gathering from up and down New Jersey.
The question now becomes...
Will Donald Trump win New Jersey?
Seriously, they're asking this question and apparently it's not happened since the 80s or something.
Jersey's shore swamped with 80,000.
They're gonna go with the lower number, you know they are.
We'll take a look at this from FiveThirtyEight, the latest polls.
Earlier today on Fox News, they were talking about how Trump lost New Jersey by around 16 points in 2020.
But a governor who ran, a Republican, was just shy of a couple points, indicating that party-wise, New Jersey is in play.
Well, from 538, we have Trump vs. Kennedy.
Kennedy beats Trump in New Jersey.
Biden vs. Kennedy, Biden easily wins.
Here's what's interesting.
Emerson College, March 26-29.
Trump was only down by 5 points.
Just 5.
And in the same poll, removing Kennedy, West, and Stein, Trump is down only 6 points.
Well, looks like he's down 7, but maybe it was 6.5.
Now, I don't know if that means Trump can win New Jersey.
And I think you'd be crazy to think Trump could win New Jersey on the merits.
Well, no, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Trump could win New Jersey on the merits easily.
Let me break it down for you, my friends.
If Donald Trump ran for president and everyone had to walk up and say, here's who I'm voting for and here's why Trump would win.
No question.
In fact, probably every Republican would win.
Ever.
Because Democrats rely on young and ignorant voters.
And that's not me being disrespectful.
That's fact.
One of my favorite stories that came out in the past couple of weeks, but is getting a lot of attention now, is the Ashley Biden diary.
You may not be aware, but Snopes actually updated their ruling saying, the diary's real!
You know how we know?
Because Ashley Biden said it was real.
She wrote to the court saying it was real.
That's according to Snopes.
Now, let me explain to the Democrat voter base.
On Tim Guest's IRL, we were discussing the Ashley Biden diary, and I was told that it wasn't confirmed the diary was hers.
That's right.
For those who are not familiar with the story, Ashley Biden, the daughter of Joe, had a diary leak.
There were some investigations over it.
People got arrested.
People had their homes raided.
In the diary, Ashley Biden says inappropriate things may have happened, like showering with her dad.
Yeah, creepy.
Here's what's fascinating.
There was a news outlet that published excerpts from the diary.
It is a fact the diary was in the possession of this news outlet, and before that, Project Veritas, and before that, some woman who found it in the house.
Apparently, Ashley Biden had stayed in the house, the woman was there, saw the bag, and said, whoa, look at this.
Took it and sold it.
I don't know exactly what happened, all the details, but what I can tell you is this.
Occam's Razor suggests if we know for a fact this woman took the book and then she got charged for it, by the way, her and this guy.
We know for a fact James O'Keefe and Project Veritas had the book.
We know for a fact that they passed it off to a different organization and then that organization published excerpts.

tim pool
Well, I don't see why you would presume it wasn't the diary.
But the media reported that we can't confirm that what they published was actually from the diary, as if to imply even though they had the diary, The implication was they fabricated these pages.
You actually had liberals on X, on Twitter, saying, we can't confirm those are real.
We don't even know that it's real.
I'm looking at you, Krasensteins!
How do you even know those pages are real?
Fascinating.
You see, There's a logic to it.
You don't have to absolutely believe the diary was factually and truly Ashley Biden's.
You just have to say, the preponderance of evidence suggests, and Occam's razor suggests, in the absence of evidence, the solution that makes the least amount of assumptions tends to be the correct one.
That is, they had the diary, they published it.
Okay.
But they pretended like it wasn't real.
How about the Hunter Biden laptop?
Same deal.
How do we even know it's real?
There's emails from his associates.
Well, someone could have faked it!
These are who... Look, they live in a fake reality of pure denial.
And that's who Democrats rely on for a voter base.
They are ignorant and marching in lockstep.
And the Krasensteins wonder why I call them evil so often.
It's because I know they're not stupid.
But they're sophists who will make up any excuse and any reason to keep people trapped in this world where they are causing a detriment to their own lives and suffering because of it.
Oh, I'll give you an example.
You know, New York, a couple years ago, put out a what to do in the event of a nuclear bomb.
That's right, a nuclear bomb hits New York.
What do you do?
Now, why would they do that?
I don't know.
Maybe it was in the budget.
It was in the budget so they wanted to spend the money.
Or maybe the president that we have is marching us in a single file line towards World War III and the use of strategic nuclear weapons.
I certainly hope not.
I believe Vladimir Putin will use nukes.
And people need to understand that nuclear weapons does not mean dropping a bomb on New York.
It means Vladimir Putin will test tactical low-yield nuclear bombs on the battlefield.
And ain't nobody's gonna retaliate with an ICBM.
They're just gonna say, well, what do we do now?
In fact, they've already argued that depleted uranium shells is nuclear warfare.
Take a look at this from Interactive Polls, my friends, because hope is on the horizon.
Trump is winning in Nevada by 14 points.
Wasn't Nevada supposed to be a swing state?
Now it's safe red?
Wow.
Don't know if I believe that, but we should pull up 270 to win so we can get the total counts here.
I think Nevada is 6 votes.
I thought it was 7 for a second, but it is 6.
it's it's what is it six six votes it's six votes i thought it was seven for a second but it is six so let's
let's put two seventy to win
and we'll take a look at this Nevada, Trump up 14.
Arizona, Trump up 9.
Georgia, Trump up 8.
Pennsylvania, Trump up 4.
Wisconsin, Trump up 1.
Michigan is for Biden.
Alright, so let's hit it.
We got Nevada for Trump.
We got Georgia for Trump.
We got PA for Trump.
Okay, Trump wins!
Just with those states alone.
If Trump has them, he won based on the current map.
Now Michigan, they're saying, is Joe Biden.
And I believe, I don't know if they have Arizona.
Trump is up in Arizona and in Wisconsin by one.
So let's just, there it is.
297 electoral votes for Donald Trump if this map holds.
But will it?
The one thing I think people need to understand is Texas.
So you've got this video coming out from Tucker Carlson where he's talking about how illegal aliens can vote so long as they reasonably believe they are citizens.
Now hold on, hold on.
I'm not going to say I'm a lawyer and I know everything about this law.
What I can say is...
There appears to be a code that says, if an illegal alien reasonably believes that they are a citizen, they can cast a ballot.
It doesn't mean the ballot gets counted.
It just, I believe that precludes any kind of criminal charges against them.
The reason for that is, there are people who accidentally vote, not realizing because they went to a DMV or otherwise.
Still, I think we should have safeguards for this.
But the real argument is, even if non-citizens vote, their votes are supposed to be rejected.
Problem.
We don't do citizenship verification.
We do social security verification.
We check for social security numbers.
Non-citizens can have those numbers if they get work permits.
The fear now is that what's happening is that while we are distracted by these swing states screaming and cheering saying, woohoo, Trump can't lose, something is afoot in Texas.
Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you back They've recently begun publishing their numbers again, which was weird.
for the Help America Vote verification system.
They've recently begun publishing their numbers again, which was weird.
They skipped a month, month and a half.
And we can take a look down here and just scroll on down to our good friend Texas on May 4th and see,
7,094 people without IDs tried to register.
That didn't seem like no big deal, huh?
Alright.
Well, why don't we jump two weeks before to April 20th, a period where they weren't reporting properly, and it's got... Oh!
unidentified
250,000.
tim pool
Now, most of you are already familiar with this story, but something ain't right.
4,659 people tried to register who were dead.
The argument, of course, we heard from Texas is, this is clearly a mistake, it's not happening.
The argument from Missouri, because of their weird numbers, look at this, 3,000, look, 97,000 in Missouri, they said, we're simply doing voter roll cleanup.
unidentified
Oh.
tim pool
You see, that's what we thought at first.
At first, when we brought the story up, our guest said, well, what if they're just checking their existing database against active Social Security numbers to see who's alive and who's dead?
And I said, you know, that's a really good point.
Until you actually take a look at what is Help America Vote, where they say, on a government website, states must only submit a request to us for new voters who do not present a valid driver's license during the voter registration process.
HAVV verifies the accuracy of the name, date of birth, and last four digits of the social security number submitted, and sends an indication of whether our records show the individual as deceased.
Now, when they say that they're just doing voter roll cleanup, the problem there is it means they're abusing the system.
But you know what?
I can accept that.
Perhaps these states have found an easy path towards voter roll cleanup, and that is by taking the old filings for the registration that they still have for some reason, submitting them to the SSA, and checking them against the database for Social Security numbers.
Perhaps.
Or perhaps there's worse news.
Perhaps the reality is, is while we cheer for all of these swing states, let's say Trump even wins Michigan.
He wins Minnesota!
Let's say he even swings that.
If Missouri and Texas, okay, not with Minnesota.
If Trump wins Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, but Texas and Missouri flip blue, Democrats win.
Texas is the key card right here.
I wonder why Texas has been so overrun by non-citizens.
Why we're seeing these strange numbers out of Texas.
Well, right now, no one's paying attention so much to Texas, but let's do this.
Let's do 538.
538 Texas polling.
We'll pull up those numbers.
Texas 538.
We have the Latest presidential polling out of Texas.
And here we can see, April 12th to the 22nd, YouGov, Trump's up 8 points.
Same polling, when they add in Kennedy, West, and Stein, Trump's up 9 points.
So it's all looking oh so good, doesn't it?
Of course, there's actually very few polls.
And this is where it's interesting to me.
No one expects Texas to go Democrat, but there is an argument to be made.
Texas goes Democrat.
They say it's shocking.
The pundits are going to say, well, you take a look at Florida.
Florida was a swing state, and then we saw this smash into the red.
It can happen.
And then what'll they say?
They're gonna say something like, you know, these California transplants moving in, and maybe it's not Missouri, maybe it's not Missouri, Arizona.
Arizona goes blue.
Texas goes blue.
And they're gonna say, look, you got people in California that have left to Arizona, that have left Texas, and they've changed those demographics.
And you know, you might say, there's no way that's true.
The people who are going to Texas are anti-lockdown, anti-woke.
And they're going to argue, no, you're just, you misunderstand.
Or maybe they're going to say, they might have been mad at the lockdowns, but they're still Democrats.
Or they might say, well, you know, you got a lot of people in California who are upset over the crime and the human waste.
And so Texas is a very cosmopolitan place where they can go and not have to deal with all the crime and the human waste.
I don't know for sure.
What I can tell you is that we've not been given a real explanation for why the Social Security Administration has registered 250,000 people in two weeks.
And it's been this way every two weeks.
unidentified
125K.
125K.
4,659 deceased.
tim pool
125 K 125 K 4659 deceased.
Perhaps it's as simple as Texas is taking a quarter million voter registrations that
they have on file and submitting them to the SSA every two weeks.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't quite understand that.
Something doesn't add up.
Something doesn't add up.
And I tell you this, my friends, there is a shadow campaign.
We had this question on, I think, last Thursday.
One of our members asked, do you think it's possible that there is no shadow campaign?
And before we could finish his sentence, Phil Labonte went, no.
There absolutely is a shadow campaign.
And what is that, you ask?
For the uninitiated, Time Magazine ran an article.
I'll pull it up for you.
I always think it's important to pull up this story.
They call it a shadow campaign.
They said, the secret history of the shadow campaign that saved the 2020 election.
Time Magazine outright said, there was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes.
In fact, that conspiracy was to stop Donald Trump.
The handshake between business and labor, one component of a vast cross-partisan campaign to protect the election.
An extraordinary shadow effort dedicated not to winning the vote, but to ensuring it would be free, fair, credible, and uncorrupted.
josh hammer
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 What does that mean?
the 2024 presidential election. We do all that every single day right here on America on Trial
with Josh Hammer. Subscribe and download your episodes wherever you get your podcast. It's
America on Trial with Josh Hammer. What does that mean?
tim pool
Though much of the activity took place on the left, it was separate from the Biden campaign
and crossed ideological lines.
The shadow campaigners were desperate to stop, were desperate to stop was not a,
the scenario, sorry, the shadow campaigners were desperate to stop was not a Trump victory.
It was an election so calamitous that no result could be discerned at all.
A failure of the central act of democratic self-governance that has been a hallmark of America since its founding.
That's right.
Business interests.
Look at this.
Look at this picture.
Confederate flag.
Biden for president.
We get it.
The shadow campaign to stop Donald Trump.
Do you believe that they would forego such a campaign this time around?
unidentified
Because if you do, I got a bridge to sell you.
tim pool
We don't know what it is.
Maybe it's RFK Jr.
Maybe he is the spoiler to tank Donald Trump.
I'm not so sure.
He's a bit all over the place.
Maybe the shadow campaign is this Help America Vote thing that was uncovered.
And Texas will turn blue.
And no one will know why.
And what can you do about it?
Not sure.
But it should be interesting nonetheless.
What I can tell you is the weight that we are seeing in this political season is the most I've seen in my lifetime.
The people, the rallies, it's incredible.
Now you want to tell me that Obama can draw on about 100k people and Trump supposedly can as well.
You say Obama's the most popular president in history, or at least in our history.
Trump's rivaling Obama and you expect me to lose, you expect me to believe that he's losing to Joe Biden.
unidentified
Well, I'll tell you this.
tim pool
In 2020, Trump won the argument.
But Democrats played the rules the way they were designed, not the way we wanted the game to be played.
Trump said vote for me and people said yes.
Democrats said hide Joe Biden and ballot harvest as much as you can.
So we'll see.
Next segment's coming up at 1 p.m.
on this channel.
Thanks for hanging out and I will see you all then.
Bill Maher has surfaced an old video of Stormy Daniels that he says undermines her trial testimony against Donald Trump.
And right now the media is even questioning Michael Cohen, saying normally he's this foul-mouthed guy on social media and now all of a sudden he's shaky, trembling when he's giving his testimony.
Yeah, I don't think anybody's taking this court case seriously.
Trump supporters are celebrating right now, saying that this is just boosting Donald Trump.
And many political analysts, pundits have said over and over again, this is giving Trump What, millions to billions in free publicity while making the Democrats look like the bad guys?
In fact, Fareed Zakaria of CNN said that this case in New York would not be brought against someone whose name was not Donald Trump.
Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think you need to hear this from me.
I think it is so patently obvious, the news so ubiquitous, we all know it already.
So I suppose what I can only say is this video is for those who have not yet watched.
This video is for those who are not familiar with what is going on right now in this country.
And I lead off with Bill Maher to assist you in understanding that the criminal trial against Donald Trump in New York is fake.
And I've got mediaite, two articles from mediaite, not a right wing publication to help back this up.
So for those that are familiar with this, this video is for all your friends and family who don't believe.
For everyone who says, how do I convince my friends and family that they're being lied to?
Well, look.
The narrative is breaking.
Bill Maher can only deflect so much.
And now he is coming out and saying, well hold on, we interviewed Stormy.
She said the opposite.
Her testimony doesn't make sense.
So I implore you.
If a friend or family member shared this video with you, give it a watch, because I'm going to show you corporate news articles from Newsweek, the Daily Beast, and Mediaite, plus the New York Post.
I know many liberals, they don't like the New York Post, but I think this one's important for everyone to hear.
The New York Post says, Bill Maher dredges up 2018 Stormy Dales interview that totally undermines her Trump trial and testimony.
She's a bad witness, Marr declared Friday during that night's episode of Real Time, joking, it's stormy or bust.
The comic and political pundit played a clip from a 2018 interview in which Daniels was emphatic that her alleged July 2006 hanky-panky with Trump was consensual and not to be construed as part of the MeToo movement that was in full swing at the time.
You say it's not a MeToo case, Marr pressed Daniels at the time.
It's not a MeToo case, Daniels replied.
I wasn't assaulted.
I wasn't attacked or raped or coerced or blackmailed.
Well, okay.
unidentified
Let's, uh, let's pull up this clip.
tim pool
This is the clip from Bill Maher.
And I think it's important that everybody hears it.
Right out of Bill Maher's mouth.
bill maher
And first I asked her why she had sex with Trump.
Listen to that, and then listen to what she says after that.
And then we're gonna talk about the trial, because it's quite a variance of what she said to me in 2018.
Why did you f*** Donald Trump?
Okay, but you say it's not a Me Too case.
unidentified
It is not a Me Too case.
I mean, I wasn't assaulted.
I wasn't attacked or raped or coerced or blackmailed.
They tried to shove me in the Me Too box to further their own agenda.
And first of all, I didn't want any part of that because it's not the truth and I'm not a vixen in that regard.
bill maher
That's not what she's saying now.
Uh, she's talking about he was bigger and blocking the way.
It's all the Me Too buzzwords.
She said, uh, there was a power imbalance of power, for sure.
My hands were shaking so hard.
She said she blacked out.
Blacked out?
She's a porn star.
unidentified
She's... I don't think sex... That doesn't, that doesn't mean she's been subjected to the likes of Donald Trump.
I might, I might black out too.
bill maher
Do you really think she blacked out?
I mean, a porn star is used to having sex with people she does not know.
That's the job.
It's kind of like Stormy Bob.
Bob Stormy.
tim pool
Bravo, Bill Maher.
I've been very critical of Bill because he stumbled into not doing research before, but I commend the fact that this time he did.
Why?
Stormy appeared on his own show.
So, it'd be really hard for him to deny the reality of him doing an interview with somebody else.
Now, let's go back to this original portion, and we'll start this, and I'll give you a breakdown of my thoughts, and then I'm gonna show you the news reports of where we're currently at, especially with Michael Cohen testifying right now.
bill maher
In 2018.
Why did you f*** Donald Trump?
unidentified
I have no idea!
tim pool
She does have an idea.
Way back when, we're talking the 2000s, Donald Trump was THE celebrity.
THE.
Nobody hated him.
I mean, some people didn't like him, but there's that quote, I think it's from Obama, of the American dream is to beat Donald Trump.
I don't know how true that is, but that's the general idea that most people agreed with.
Trump was this real estate, reality TV mogul with the weird hair and the golden name on all these buildings, and he represented success, international success, all that stuff.
Donald Trump had won a bunch of civil rights awards, so why did Stormy Daniels want to engage in adult relations with a billionaire, playboy, reality TV celebrity, real estate mogul, internationally renowned author, board game developer, steak maker, I mean the list goes on!
unidentified
Because he's Donald effing Trump!
tim pool
Now, of course, what they're doing now is comparing where Trump is today as a 70-year-old man—he's 77, I believe, today—to where he was 20-some-odd years ago.
Granted, he was still in his 50s, so younger, but now they're taking Donald Trump as an older guy, telling you he's gross, he's nasty, he's disgusting, and you banged him.
unidentified
And she's like, I have no idea why he did it!
tim pool
Here's what happens.
bill maher
But you say it's not a Me Too case.
unidentified
It is not a Me Too case.
I mean, I wasn't assaulted.
I wasn't attacked or raped or coerced or blackmailed.
They tried to shove me in the Me Too box to further their own agenda.
And first of all, I didn't want any part of that because it's not the truth.
tim pool
Okay.
Now why would she say that?
She's saying that they tried to make it a Me Too case, claiming that she was arguing.
Okay, so it's complicated.
Back then, they're saying, oh, she's just another Me Too case, and we don't believe those because women are making things up.
She's denying, saying, I'm not a victim, that's not what happened, Trump paid me to be quiet, or whatever it is, you know, the point of that statement was.
What I'm saying is, back then, her politics aligned with saying, no, it's not Me Too, this is something totally different.
Because it benefited the right, if it was a MeToo campaign, because of all the... Let's be real, like, when all this stuff's going on, and you've got that Kavanaugh case where they're like, Brett Kavanaugh and other men lined up outside of bedrooms where they... Let's just keep it family-friendly.
I don't know if we can get family-friendly in this segment.
But men lined up outside of rooms to assault women, taking turns.
Nobody believed that.
And there's no credibility here.
unidentified
So they kept saying, credibly accused!
tim pool
Who has to say credibly accused?
That's the phrase they used, and it's so annoying.
But it works on stupid people, I guess.
I don't care.
You're credibly accused.
What's the adjective for?
Or is that an adverb?
We don't need that.
That's ridiculous.
Now Stormy Daniels, everything's changing.
It's not a Me Too.
They tried to shove the Me Too box to further their own agenda.
He cited Daniels at times salacious and graphic description of her foreplay with the future president in a recent testimony in which he described a power imbalance of the billionaire.
Daniels claimed that Trump was bigger and blocking the way.
That at the end of it saying my hands were shaking so hard and I just wanted to leave.
Actually, I don't know that Trump said that.
Throughout parts of her Daniels testimony, Trump appeared livid, shaking his head and cursing audibly, according to
reporters in the room.
He denies having an affair with Daniels and said he paid hush money to protect his family.
Back when Daniels first came... Actually, I don't know that Trump said that. I believe that was Hope Hicks who said
Trump was concerned about what his wife would think if this story got out.
Back when Daniels first came forward with her allegations against Trump, she mocked his sexual prowess and claimed
that an unidentified man confronted her after a fitness class in 2011.
in 2011.
Daniels said she felt threatened and pressured to sign a nondisclosure agreement, which she did, before fighting to break out of it during Trump's presidency.
Maher contended that Daniels' testimony now has deviated from her original iteration of the alleged encounter.
She's talking about how he was bigger and blocking the way.
It's all Me Too buzzwords.
Daniel's former lawyer, Michael Avenatti, who is now behind bars and had a falling out with her, accused his client of not being forthcoming with the truth and alleged that she extorted Trump in October 2016.
Maher has long been an ardent Trump critic, though earlier this month on his Club Random podcast, in which he typically drinks and smokes weed, Maher vowed that he won't go effing nuts if Trump wins.
Well, that's a victory, my friends.
Bill Maher has been pushed to the I-won't-lose-my-mind-if-Trump-wins.
That's a big shift for many of these liberals.
Recently, Maher lashed out at Attorney General Merrick Garland, accusing him of slow-walking the spate of Justice Department inquiries into the former president and thereby giving him a window to win again.
He also previously sounded optimistic that the hush money trial could be Trump's undoing.
Quote, this one I gotta say, I was always against it because I thought of all the ones you're bringing, this is the least serious.
Now I think Trump could lose.
Let's just pause there for a minute.
What's the crime?
Ask yourself this question.
What is the crime?
For many of the liberal and Democrats who may stumble upon this video, curious as to what it is, what is the crime that Donald Trump committed by paying Stormy Daniels not to share a story?
This is a common business practice and Well, let's just be real.
We don't know that Trump actually did it.
The argument is that Michael Cohen paid off Stormy Daniels, and it was privately, without a paper trail, at the behest of Donald Trump.
Well, that may be.
But you can't prove it.
Now the question is, do you believe that, based on your feeling, Trump should go to jail?
Okay, well, so be it.
If you believe that you have a right to feel things without evidence, or that circumstantial evidence is enough for you to believe something, then, well, you're going to be in a world of hurt when your friends, your family, or yourself find yourself in court and people say, I don't know that it's true, we don't have the direct evidence that you did it, but we want you to go to jail because we feel that way.
That's not the way the system should work.
But maybe it'll come for your children, and maybe you don't care.
Maybe you'd like to make special exceptions for Donald Trump.
Not me.
What they have right now is that Trump paid his lawyer.
That's it.
He paid his lawyer a bit more money on a retainer, and that's it.
We don't know that Trump actually instructed Michael Cohen.
It may be that he did, perhaps.
Now, let's say that Donald Trump did instruct Cohen to pay Stormy Daniels and then listed it as a legal expense.
How is it not?
Offering up a non-disclosure agreement to someone is something your lawyer takes care of.
Offering a settlement is something your lawyer could take care of.
The argument is that Donald Trump falsified business records in furtherance of a second crime.
What is the second crime?
We don't know.
The argument, they say, is that Trump interfered in an election.
And, unfortunately for the state of New York, that's a state of New York jurisdictional crime, meaning federal office that doesn't apply.
Plus, it's beyond the statute of limitations.
None of this makes sense.
But I know that most of you know this.
Most of you know this.
Well, here we are now.
MSNBC legal expert argues for Trump defense.
Stormy Daniels' testimony turned trial into a quasi-sexual assault case.
Right.
Let me do this.
I didn't plan on pulling this one up, but I will pull up the Fareed Zakaria quote, because I think that one's important to hear from CNN.
The New York Post has the story.
CNN's Fareed Zakaria admits prosecutors would never have filed hush money charges against anyone whose name was not Trump.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
That I find to be bold.
fareed zakaria
Republicans seem to be uniting behind Trump.
Whatever opposition he faced in the primaries has largely melted away.
And the trials against him keep him in the spotlight, infuriate his base, who sees him as a martyr, and even may serve to make him the object of some sympathy among people in general who believe that his prosecutors are politically motivated.
This happens to be true, in my opinion.
I doubt the New York indictment would have been brought against a defendant whose name was not Donald Trump.
tim pool
And there it is.
Fareed Zakaria of CNN even saying it.
This case in New York is so shockingly broken that you've got MSNBC and CNN now saying, what?
Yeah.
So who am I preaching to?
And who needs to hear this?
I don't know.
I gotta be honest, I honestly don't know.
Let's read the story from Mediaite.
MSNBC legal expert Danny Cavallos was not impressed with the apparent oversharing details that emerged from Stormy Daniels' testimony in the hush-money trial of former President Donald Trump.
Daniels took the stand on Tuesday and provided details of her sexual encounter with Trump that the Morning Joe described as graphic, salacious, and cringe.
Which, Ceballos argued, could end up hurting the prosecution.
If you're a prosecutor and you're building your case, and you're making a risk-reward balancing analysis as to every witness, you have to decide, can I get this information from somewhere else with less risk?
What part of the testimony would you pull out and take up on appeal, Joe Scarborough asked his guest?
What do you think is the strongest case, specifically, and reversible appeal?
That it was overly prejudicial and wasn't worth the probative value.
I think Stormy Daniels' testimony could have been accomplished with three words in the sense that we had sex.
Everything else was probably unnecessary.
Kavaios says, testimony like saying, well it was a lot physically larger than me and I wasn't intimidated, but it's out there.
Savaios said, citing Daniels, he was bigger than me, he was blocking the door, he continued.
It goes back to the issue, this is not a sexual assault case, and the defense is going to argue, and right or wrong, this is what they will argue on appeal.
That kind of testimony turned this into a quasi-sexual assault case, which painted the defendant in an unnecessarily bad light in a way that you can't unring the bell.
It wasn't really helpful that Stormy Daniels described in an environment where her story had all this value because it was close to campaign, even testimony, by the way, where Donald Trump didn't seem concerned about Melania finding out that it was good.
And they actually elicited that in a very clever way.
All the evidence about transaction between Stormy Daniels and, yes, the underlying incident, the fact that they had sex, that she got up there and said they had sex, that is all relevant.
But you ask the question, can you get this information from a less risky witness?
We're only halfway through cross-examination.
It could get worse.
Maybe it won't.
Maybe she'll survive and be fine.
To put it simple for everybody, when you're dealing with a court case, let's say someone is accused of kicking a dog, and one man says, he came over and he kicked my dog, and the guy says, I did not kick your dog.
The fact that the man who kicked the dog is a convicted bank robber typically is not admissible in court.
They say, Your Honor, I think people should know that the man who was accused of kicking the dog robbed a bank.
And the person will say, look, that happened five years ago, I went to jail for three years, I got out, I served my time, it was a first offense, I was desperate, and that has nothing to do with any of the evidence pertaining to whether I kicked a dog, and it only serves to prejudice the jury against me on something not materially relevant.
That is to say.
In this case, the question, in this court trial, is not so much whether or not Trump and Starmaine Daniels engaged in adult activities.
It's whether or not, I gotta be honest, I'm gonna pause, I have no idea what they're trying to get to.
Because there's no crime, but sure.
I suppose their argument is, Donald Trump paid off Starmaine Daniels, and then lied about paying her off.
This is insane because it's not even a crime to have paid her off, so he wouldn't need to lie about it.
It's just the weirdest.
It's the weirdest case!
If Donald Trump paid his lawyer to deal with negative press, catch-and-kill strategies they call it, someone's got a negative story, you offer them money and say non-disclosure agreement in exchange for the NDA, you get this compensation.
Not illegal.
Not illegal.
The FEC and the DOJ, the federal government said there's no crime.
This is not a crime.
Well, so I guess that's their argument that that misdemeanor crime, which they're trying to claim, which presumably didn't even happen according to the DOJ and the FEC, is beyond its statute of limitations.
They're bringing the case now anyway, which makes no sense.
And to make it all worse, Stormy Daniels goes up on the stand and prejudices the jury against Trump, as if to imply he raped her.
You know what the reality is?
They don't expect to win this case.
They're just trying to waste Trump's time, make it so that he can't go to the Supreme Court oral arguments, make sure he can't campaign in various states.
But it is backfiring.
Even Fareed Zakaria pointed out that it's rallying his base.
So be it.
So be it, I suppose.
Bill Maher slammed the Trump prosecutors over the Stormy Daniels hush money testimony.
They blew it at every turn.
Bill Maher's not having it.
He's clearly seeing through this, and I respect it.
I love this one.
Michael Cohen somberly recalls getting sucked into Trump's orbit.
The famously foul-mouthed and brash former Trump fixer was more reflective, as he recalled for the courts, his time bullying people on behalf of the former president.
The way they described this on X, Michael Cohen, who is a foul-mouthed blowhard on social media, all of a sudden is shaky and nervous.
The loud, combative and boisterous Cohen ditched his usual bravado and showed up to the witness stand on Monday as a somber man reflecting on the disaster that was his time working for Donald Trump.
The disgraced lawyer who lost his professional license and spent months in a federal prison to protect his former boss came ready to turn on him in court for the first time publicly answering questions from the Manhattan District Attorney's office.
Ah, I can only imagine.
Michael Cohen, Trump's lawyer.
He thought that he was going to be chosen for the Trump administration, and he wasn't.
And then they went after him.
And apparently Trump did not help the guy.
Michael Cohen got angry.
And now you can see that the man, this sad little man, is trying to get some revenge or something.
I feel bad for Trump.
Because I know how this goes.
And many of you do too.
How many of you worked a job where you had some, you know, maybe you're a shift supervisor or a manager, you have an employee who's really bad at their job, but you try to be nice, but you can only tolerate so much, and then they blame you?
Yeah, many of you have been there.
I worked a job once where, it's funny, we had a new hire, and I'll keep the details vague.
I was a manager, there was a new hire, the new hire was not doing too well but desperately wanted to look good and lied.
We're in the office, I get a call from one of the regional managers and he says, You know, we were told this, that you did this thing.
I gotta keep it vague for legal reasons.
And I said, how long have I been here?
And you know how good I am at this job.
You know what I do.
You know my track record.
And they went, yeah, but they're saying that, you know, you filed something wrong and so we have no choice.
But I was like, hold it right there.
I quit.
And their jaws hit the floor.
I said, yeah, I quit.
I will not I'm not going to work a job where I break myself for you and the moment someone comes in who's incompetent and wants to look good, tries to badmouth me, and you side against me.
You're either with me or you're not.
And if you're not, I have no reason to be here for you.
And they begged me to stay.
No, it's temporary.
I don't care if it's temporary or not.
Have a nice day.
I left.
Donald Trump has this guy, Michael Cohen, and as the story goes, he believed he was Mixer Fix-It, but I believe it was Hope Hicks who said this, but only after he already broke it.
So imagine you're Trump, you've got this guy who's terrible at what he does, slipping on banana peels left and right.
We can see this in everything he's doing in social media and this testimony.
The dude is clearly not a competent person, and Trump's just like, whatever, he gets me the bare minimum.
And then when he finally says, look, you're not good at what you do, enough, this guy says, I will get revenge on you.
This is the reality, man.
You gotta be careful.
You gotta be careful.
And while this is all happening, MAGA celebrates Donald Trump's legal boosts, winning bigly.
That's right.
When Fareed Zakaria says it.
When even MSNBC is roasting these people.
You start to realize that Donald Trump is being given free press.
Why are they doing it?
Well, never interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake.
Michael Cohen is testifying as I record this video, so we'll see how things go later tonight.
We'll be back for Timcast IRL, of course, but the next segment will be up at 4 p.m.
on this channel.
Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.

The Meme Stock Wars are back!
tim pool
Do you guys remember this?
These short sellers, these big hedge funds, started making big bets against GameStop, causing the stock to go down.
Retail investors got pissed.
I'm giving you the really simple version.
They got pissed because they're like, GameStop doesn't need to go out of business.
It's just that the stock is being attacked by people who are believing that, well look, When institutions launch short sale attacks, then it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
So what happened?
Retail investors went nuclear, started buying up tons of the stock, driving the price up, and destroying hedge funds.
Apparently, since the return of Roaring Kitty this morning, there's been a total loss of I think a billion dollars from the short sellers.
So Roaring Kitty, for those that don't know, he's like the original guy who helped kick this whole thing off.
Andrew Tate says he's gonna put a million bucks in GameStop.
And some dude says, Andrew Tate legit gonna lose two million dollars just to try and cost some dude billions of dollars.
And Tate said, correct.
So here we go, baby.
I ain't gonna give anybody no financial advice.
I'm not gonna tell you what you should or should not do with these meme stocks.
But I gotta say, these meme stocks show the power Of regular people and retail investors.
Before we begin, I want to tell you a little story about a stock called DJT.
Donald Trump's truth social stock.
And oh boy, I'd love to just say right now, I was right the whole time!
So Donald Trump's stock goes public.
The value increases.
Right now you can see here in the recently viewed, it hit $54.
I purchased about a dozen or so shares.
For fun.
Because I'm like, yo, I wanna have a piece of that.
It's a little trophy.
It's a little digital marker that like, you've got a piece of Trump Truth Social.
I don't know if I'm gonna get rich off it.
unidentified
Probably not.
tim pool
But it's fun to have, right?
To be a part of it.
That's what I said.
I said, I don't think Donald Trump's stock could go down because the people buying it are just Trump supporters who want a piece of Donald Trump.
They want to be involved in this movement.
Trump becomes, he had a 1.8 billion dollar bonus performance value off Truth Social.
And Truth Social really, it just is the Trump network.
Something happened.
The DJT price tanked to around $28.
And all of these leftists and liberals are gloating, saying, haha, you bought the stock, you moron!
And I'm like, guys, I only bought about a dozen.
It's a couple hundred bucks.
And I did it for fun.
I did it for fun.
I don't know.
And then I said this.
I didn't think the stock could go down because I thought it was Trump supporters.
And, uh, well, I guess I was wrong.
I was like, people really are selling off the stock.
But as it turns out, it is being reported that, in fact, it wasn't a selloff from Trump supporters, but a short sale attack.
That's right.
Institutional investors saw that this doesn't make sense.
Why would Trump stock be worth so much?
So they short sale it.
A short sale attack.
Driving the price down.
It didn't work.
Within a day or two, it rebounded right away.
Back up to $55.
unidentified
$54.26.
tim pool
Here we are.
Yeah, I was right.
And I'll tell you this too, because when I met Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago a week or so ago, This actually came up.
Bill Pulte was talking about DJT and Trump said, we knew something was weird about it because our people aren't selling this stock.
They're not buying it because they think they're going to get rich.
He said something to that effect and I said, I agree.
Why would a Trump supporter put 20 bucks or 50 bucks into a stock and then sell it off?
That makes no sense.
It's because these billionaires are playing games.
But now lessons shall be taught.
GameStop is back, baby!
Yahoo Finance reporting, the stock soared as much as 110% on Monday and was temporarily halted for volatility after Roaring Kitty, the person who is seen as the kickstarter of the meme, posted online for the first time since 2021.
identified as Keith Gill, became a prominent figure in the Wall Street bets and YouTube
for his bullish stance on GameStop. Sunday's post on X included a meme of a video gamer
leaning forward, appearing to take the game seriously. The last time he posted on X was
June 2021. Gill was known for posting commentary about why GameStop would go higher, and eventually
testified before Congress about the massive January 2021 short squeeze spurred by an army
of retail traders.
Short interest on GameStop sits around 24% of the float according to an S3 partner's data.
Including today's losses.
GME shorts are now down $1.34 billion, with a B in May, month-to-date losses, and now down $952 million for the year.
Monday's Gains.
Follow a recent rally in meme-related stocks.
Theater chain AMC gained 19%, while Trump Media and Technology gained 8%.
Short sellers may be in for a bumpy and bloody ride in these stocks, said Dusanewski.
Dusanewski.
Dusanewski.
There you go.
As Yow Finance's Jared Blicker recently noted, the recent meme stock surge doesn't appear to be the ominous signal it has in the past, but rather a healthy risk appetite for investments.
We're in a brave new world, my friends.
A cartoon on Axe just sent GameStop shares surging 68%.
Well, more than that, but it is flickering up and down.
Roaring Kitty just posted this one at 11 a.m.
this morning, and it is, it's a video which shows Thanos of the Avengers grabbing the Infinity Gauntlet and then saying, fine, I'll do it myself.
As if to imply he has returned!
And there is something big about to happen.
This is huge news.
And, uh, you know, I'll tell you what.
Again, I'm not giving anybody financial advice.
You don't come to me for medical or financial advice, okay?
You gotta talk to your trusted personnel.
But let me tell you.
This GameStop gain of 110%, you're sitting there, You see a post from Roaring Kitty.
This guy who kicked off this big spike, and you know what's coming.
First thing Monday morning, let's say you put a hundred grand into GameStop.
A few hours later, you've doubled your money.
Sell if you want, I don't know.
I don't know what these people are doing.
I'm just saying.
The people who are tracking this stuff are getting rich.
Think about the Trump, uh, the DJT stock.
This one's fascinating.
Let's take a look at DJT, and we can see here, is there a better way to pull up their charts?
Here we go.
This is what's absolutely fascinating.
Look at this!
It's ridiculous.
Let's go, uh, let's go back in time.
We got five days, we got three months.
We can see here $22.84 on April 16th. Heavens me.
They say that it was a short sale attack.
That DJT had no reason to go down.
Look at this.
It was at $66 just before.
I think it was... Is that the highest it was?
Oh, I'm sorry.
The high was $71.
The close was $66.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
It's $72.
You take a look at the three month.
And right now you can see the low was $22.55 and it closed at $22.
It was a short sale attack.
What happened?
Here's how short sales work.
I know most of you probably already know, but I'll break it down.
This is the infinite risk of a short sale.
It's dangerous.
If I spend $50, $55 right now, on a share of Trump Truth Social, I can only lose $50.
Let's say tomorrow, DJT goes to zero.
That's it.
I can't sell it.
$50 is gone.
But short selling is dangerous.
Here's why.
The way a short sale works is there are three parties.
Let's say we got A, B, and C, alright?
You, me, and Trump.
We'll say that.
So, I go to Trump, and I say, hey Trump, let me borrow one of the shares of DJT.
And he says, okay, I'll lend it to you, just get it back to me in a month.
I say okay.
I then go to you, Trump's over there.
He lent me the share.
I say, hey, you want to buy this share for $55?
And you say, deal.
I then sell you the share for $55.
I now have $55 in cash in my pocket.
But I owe Trump one share, not cash.
I'm making a bet that next week, the share will go down.
So here's what happens.
In a typical short sale, I've got $55.
You've got the share.
Trump says you owe me.
I wait two weeks, the share price drops down to $20.
I then go back to you and say, I'll buy that share if you're for $20, or anyone else.
I'll buy a share for $20, and they go, deal!
I give them the $20, I have the share, and $35.
I give Trump his share back, I have $35.
Now the risk here is that Trump lends me a share of DJT.
I go to you, and I say, $55 for this share, and you say, deal.
And I'm laughing, saying, this Trump stock is going to collapse, and I'm going to make a ton of money when it does.
Because then I can buy it back up for cheap, and pay off my lenders.
Give them their shares back.
But, uh oh.
The next day, it's at $100.
And I'm like, oh crap.
I only have $55.
If I'm going to give Trump the share back that he lent me, I've got to spend an additional $45.
I don't have.
Well, maybe I'll wait and it'll go down again.
The next day, it's $200.
Oh, geez.
The next day, it's $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8, $9.
A week goes by.
It's a million dollars a share.
I don't have that.
Trump comes a knocking and says, where's that share you owe me?
You owe me the value of a share, which is a million dollars.
And I say, I don't have it.
So what happens?
What we're seeing right now with these meme stocks is really fascinating.
You know, Andrew Tate, we must unite against the Matrix, he says.
What we're seeing with these meme stocks is just this.
You've got GameStop.
These big hedge funds thought that they could sink GameStop all the way to the bottom.
So what happens is when they do this short sale, Laughing, smoking their cigars, ha ha ha ha.
A whole bunch of retail investors.
That means people like you and me using mobile apps.
They start buying the stock, driving the price up, and squeezing demand, and then they say, diamond hands.
Diamond hands means your hands will not let go of this stock no matter what.
You know why that's awesome?
Well, you see what happens is these hedge funds, these billionaires, who are trying to make money off of tanking the stock of a company, they can't buy any.
Because everybody says no.
And when demand is high but supply is low, ooh, do you feel the squeeze?
Because the more people refuse to sell, the more the hedge funds have to offer to buy the shares back and pay off their lenders.
But that means, if they say, okay, we bought this stock at $50, and now it's at $60, we are losing $10 per share, we need to exit this short position now.
They run around going, will you sell your shares?
And they go, diamond hands, baby.
Nope.
Okay, what about you?
Will you?
Diamond hands, baby.
Nope.
They say, oh my God.
We can't buy a single share at 60 bucks.
So then they go back around everybody.
70 bucks.
No.
80 bucks.
unidentified
No.
90.
tim pool
100?
unidentified
No.
tim pool
Now they're panicking.
They're gonna lose $50 for every share.
100% loss on their investment.
They're going to lose $50 for every share.
100% loss on their investment.
Oh boy.
Yep.
Not just breaking even, no, a loss.
That $50 million they put in is gone, and they've got to spend $50 million more.
Now what happens if no one ever sells their stock and they lock it all up?
The demand will be massive.
And here's what's funny.
Those people who lent out those shares for those short sales are going to start noticing
that the shares that are actually accounting to their investment,
there's a lot of money there. Some of these people don't realize that their brokers
lend out the shares for the shorts and they'll say, hey, I want to sell.
These shares are now at a ridiculously high price. Uh-oh.
Now comes calling in and those in those positions are going to have their shorts called and they're
going to say, we don't have enough money to cover the losses of this short position, which as
of right now is $1.34 billion.
dollars.
1.34 billion dollars, effectively being transferred into the pockets of regular old, regular old Joes.
You gotta love it.
That's why Andrew Tate says, fight the Matrix.
Now, I don't know if I have any GameStop.
Another meme stock is AMC.
And I guess DJT.
I do have like a dozen DJT.
I don't even really care.
I have a dozen or so.
I have the Trump Media and Technology Group stock for fun.
Because I think it's just fun to have.
And I have about a dozen AMC.
I don't have that many.
I don't really care for the meme stock things because I don't want to... I don't have any GameStop or anything like that.
I don't want to be involved in buying any stock where the influence of my show could affect the price, and I don't want to tell anybody to buy.
I don't want to do any of that.
It's bad enough you got Congress.
A bill gets introduced and it's like, ban digital company, and they're like, wow!
I'm going to short sell that company right now and then vote yes!
And I get rich.
Basically stealing money.
That's what it is.
Congress is stealing money.
Let me stress this.
When Congress is going to vote on a bill, or hear testimony, and they know the stock price will move, they're committing fraud, in my opinion, against these traders.
These day traders, and these retirement accounts, and these mom and pop retail investors.
Here's how it works.
When you look at Nancy Pelosi's wealth, and you see, if you follow Quiver Quantitative, they're on X, and they track Congress's trades.
When Nancy Pelosi's net worth goes up by $200,000, sometimes it's simple.
She owned a stock from a while ago, and then something happened, it became more valuable.
Let's say Nancy Pelosi 10 years ago bought a bunch of gold.
Or, you know, Gold ETF or something.
And then today, Gold ETF goes way up.
Okay, her net worth goes up with it.
Nothing wrong there.
No beef.
However, let's say that there is a company that produces graphene, for instance.
And someone in Congress says, we've got this bill to fund massively this graphene company.
Or there's a list of companies that are going to receive a grant from the U.S.
government for the production of graphene.
Graphene can be used for batteries and all these other things.
Nancy Pelosi then tells her broker, buy graphene.
These companies specifically.
Not illegal, apparently.
Let's say a member of Congress.
Because I don't know what Nancy's doing.
So then, this person goes to the investor and says, I'd like to buy 100 of your shares.
And they said, wow, okay, thanks, great.
Knowing that they're going to vote in a way that will increase the value of those shares.
You know why that's stealing?
The people who sold the shares then regret it and they say, damn, it's up 30%!
Congress just voted on this?
I wish I didn't sell.
Had that member of Congress informed the person, we are going to vote on something that will increase the value of this and it's why we want it.
Well, that person would have said no.
Because I want a piece of the pie as well.
So all they're doing is withholding information So that these people can't make the appropriate trades.
Now, if they weren't in government, or in the company, I mean, it's fine.
If you're a guy, and you're a scientist, and you discover that graphene can be more easily produced, and there's a revolution coming, and then you go and buy it, that's totally fine.
That's not ripping anybody off.
You're saying, wow, I think we can make graphene for half the price.
That's going to make it so much more valuable, mass-produced.
So you buy into these companies that are now more profitable, that's fine.
But when you vote directly to impact it, that's the cheating.
I don't know where this GameStop stuff goes, but it's fun to see the return of the meme stocks and the short sellers are burning up.
So, you know, all I can really do is say have fun.
I don't give financial advice.
Thanks for hanging out.
Next segment's coming up at 6 p.m.
on this channel, and I will see you all then.
In news that will be surprising to no one, so long as they pay attention, the Ashley Biden diary is confirmed real.
Ashley Biden wrote a letter to a judge, an emotional letter confirming that it was real.
The Gateway Pundit reporting this some two weeks later.
Now, the reason why this segment matters, despite the fact most of you already knew the diary was real, Is that many Democrats and liberal pundits argued that we don't know these claims about showering with her daughter?
I'm sorry, with his daughter were true, because despite the fact all the evidence suggests the diary is real, someone could have made a fake page.
OK, OK, OK, well, let's start from beginning here.
There is a diary from Ashley Biden.
That says inappropriate things happened.
She was sexualized at a young age.
Took showers with her dad.
Probably not appropriate, she says.
Appropriate's a crazy way to describe that.
Now, what happened?
Going way back, there is this woman staying at some other person's house, finds a bag with Ashley Biden's stuff in it.
There's a diary in it.
Her and some guy take it and sell it to Project Veritas.
Veritas tries to confirm it, doesn't want to publish it, and I don't know if they sold it, but it gets passed off to an outlet called The National File.
The National File then publishes some excerpts.
Now we have criminal charges against the man who took the diary.
Project Veritas had many of these employees, and James O'Keefe had been raided by the FBI over this.
So we know that law enforcement was taking it seriously.
We know that the stuff belonged to Ashley Biden because people were criminally charged.
Yet despite all of this, and knowing the chain of custody for the diary, Many liberal pundits and Democrats said, not true!
And it's not true, it's not confirmed.
In fact, Snopes for the longest time says, unproven!
Because even though we can prove the chain of custody, for all we know, the National File made fake pages and uploaded them claiming they came from the diary.
How about that?
Which is a pretty wild thing to say, because you can then argue anything ever is fake.
The New York Times comes out and says, Donald Trump's tax returns.
We can go, oh, well, how do we know they didn't fabricate it?
Well, I mean, they may have, that can happen, but we don't make that assumption when we can track the chain of custody and law enforcement is tracking these people down.
That seems silly.
But here we are.
The big news is that a couple weeks ago, Ashley Biden, about a month ago, submitted a letter to a judge which has now been made public.
I believe the letter is in fact public here.
It was submitted to the court, and Snopes has formally updated their article as true!
Here it is.
Did Ashley Biden accuse Joe Biden of inappropriate behavior in a leaked diary?
She did.
True.
They said it was unproven.
And I mean, I was flabbergasted because I'm like, look, man, people are going to jail over this.
The argument that they're all of that known to be true.
The National File made a fake page and published it is ridiculous.
And of course, I was proven correct.
But many liberal pundits kept saying, well, it's not proven.
Well, bad news for y'all.
We have this.
A diary authored by U.S.
President Joe Biden's daughter, Ashley Biden, describes action taken toward her by her father when she was a child as probably not appropriate.
True.
Note, on April 29th, 2024, Snopes changed the rating of this fact check from unproven to true based on testimony provided by Ashley Biden.
In an April 8th letter to a New York judge requesting jail time for one of the two people
convicted of stealing her diary, Biden wrote, I will forever have to deal with the fact that my personal
journal can be viewed online.
Previous versions of this fact check noted strong evidence the diary existed,
but argued that no source had authenticated the contents of the pages published online.
Writing that, the authenticity of photographs reported to be from a diary is a separate question from the factual existence of a diary.
I love their duplicitous, disingenuous lies!
That's the game they play.
We know the diary exists, but are the pages real?
Okay, well, we know the documents in the Trump case exist, but did the feds fabricate them?
Maybe the documents were just pictures of cats.
Donald Trump is accused of having documents stored in Mar-a-Lago, but maybe the feds fabricated them.
Unproven!
They've not proven Trump did anything wrong.
I mean, come on.
Okay?
The argument we're having over the Trump documents case is not whether the documents are real, it's whether or not the president has a right to retain his records from his presidency with plenary declassification powers.
No case involving declassified documents has ever been brought against anyone else.
Hillary Clinton had her staff, or I should say her staff, smashed cell phones with hammers and used a software called Bleachbit to destroy the information on the server.
And Mar-a-Lago is really funny.
Donald Trump was like, Hillary Clinton, her staff, they're smashing the phones with hammers, and the computers, they used bleach bit.
It's called bleach bit.
unidentified
And Trump's like, nobody knows what that is, so I say acid.
tim pool
They pour acid on it.
It's funny because I think it was 2016, the debate, one of my favorite things ever.
Let me pull this one up.
NBC News fact check acid wash.
This is one of the greatest posts of all time that still exists to this day.
Oh, I love it so much.
Welcome to the mainstream media.
NBC News says, fact check, Trump says Clinton acid washed her email server.
She did not.
She didn't?
The claim.
Trump says Clinton acid-washed her email server.
The truth, Clinton's team used an app called BleachBit.
She did not use a corrosive chemical.
unidentified
Ding!
tim pool
You see how they do this?
Trump wasn't literally saying she poured acid on a computer.
He said she used BleachBit.
Acid-washed was a reference to purging the system.
unidentified
Jeez.
tim pool
These people are insufferable.
So, you have Donald Trump, that is Mar-a-Lago speech, saying, you know, I say bleach bit, but nobody knows what that means, so we say acid wash.
unidentified
She put acid on the computer, and, well, you know, she poured acid.
tim pool
It's a joke.
Thanks, fact checkers.
This is the letter that was published, and we have the, my friends, definitive proof the diary is real.
This is a public letter in the court case, April 8th.
Dear Chief Judge Swain, in connection with the sentencing of Ms.
Harris scheduled for tomorrow and closed, please find a letter from our client, Ashley B. Biden.
She writes, Dear Chief Judge Swain, I am deeply saddened that I even have to write this letter because my personal private journal was stolen and sold for profit.
The point of the theft, I assume, was to be able to peddle grotesque lies by distorting my stream of consciousness, consciousness thoughts, The reason I decided not to attend tomorrow's sentencing in person is because it would only increase my pain.
Nonetheless, I write to ask your honor to sentence the defendant to time in prison.
The defendant's actions can constitute one of the most heinous forms of bullying, not to mention a complete violation of my privacy and personal dignity.
After being the victim of a crime in my early twenties, I developed PTSD.
The journal that was stolen was part of my efforts to heal.
I'm a private citizen targeted only because my father happened to be running to be president.
In other words, the extensive work I have done to move past my trauma was undone by Ms.
Harris's actions.
The defendant's actions have created a constant environment of anxiety, fear, and intimidation in which my innermost thoughts are constantly distorted and manipulated.
Although the criminal act happened more than three years ago, Because of the publicity it drew, exactly as Ms.
Harris intended, I am constantly re-traumatized by it.
I will forever have to deal with the fact that my personal journal can be viewed online.
Repeatedly.
I hear others grossly misinterpret my once private writings and lob false accusations that defame my character and those of the people I love.
Her actions were not only re-traumatizing to me, but constitute a horrific trauma in and of themselves.
This ongoing harm is a direct result of Ms.
Harris's intentional actions.
I ask your honor to sentence Ms.
Harris to time in prison followed by lengthy probation.
Should she be held accountable for what she has done?
Not only did she demonstrate a complete lack of morality, she lacks any respect for the rule of law as well.
Among other things, she has failed to appear in court 12 times.
My goal in asking Your Honor to impose a term of incarceration is to ensure that any other woman isn't bullied and shamed like this ever again.
The despair I have often felt will truly go away, but I ask... will never truly go away, sorry.
But I ask Your Honor to hold Ms.
Harris accountable so that she thinks twice before doing it to someone else.
I have spent much of my life trying to speak up for those who cannot find voices.
I am fortunate enough to have found mine, and I use it today and every day to make sure that bullies are held accountable.
Finally, I worry that a non-incarceratory sentence will send a message to her and others like her that it is okay to violate and exploit others for your own personal gain, regardless of the humiliation and pain it causes.
Please send a message that these types of damaging criminal actions will not be tolerated.
I thank Your Honor for your consideration.
Question.
Should the woman who acquired the diary go to jail?
Well, I'll put it this way.
I don't know, I won't say I know enough about the inner workings of this case to say one way or another.
What I can say is a few things.
This woman took the bag from someone's house that Ashley Biden had, she had left it there.
I do not believe you have a right to do that.
Some people have argued it was discarded property.
I disagree.
That's ridiculous.
I've left a backpack at a friend's house before, and I don't expect someone to take it.
I've left my bike at a friend's house before for a couple weeks once, and I don't expect it to be destroyed.
I expect my friend to be like, dude, hey, come get your bike, okay?
It's been here long enough.
And I go, oh, sorry about that, man.
I've been traveling.
Things like that.
In this instance, this woman sold the diary.
I believe that's correct, she sold it.
If this woman had said, I found this bag, and it looks like Ashley Biden's diary in it, maybe a journalist, it should be given off to a journalist.
Okay, that I get.
But I think when you look at the fact that they found it, and immediately like, oh man, we're going to make so much money, shows malicious intent.
It wasn't about the betterment of society.
It wasn't about uncovering secrets about a man who may be president.
It was about personal profit, I agree.
Now, I'm not going to pretend that that instantly qualifies you for jail or anything like that.
Whatever.
But the other argument here is that this woman probably shouldn't go to jail because while it may be intrusive to read the diary of this woman, understanding who would rule this nation, I mean, that's public interest.
I wouldn't recommend taking people's private diary writings or letters just because their family member's running for president, no.
I say, in this circumstance, finding a bag at someone's house with a diary in it and then saying, this matters.
Well, I think in that case it may be a little different.
That is, there is a public need-to-know exception.
That being said, I don't think selling the diary puts you in that position.
It seems that selling the diary to people critical of this administration just shows you intended to make money by taking someone else's property.
It's an interesting story.
But what I can say is this.
We can argue all day and night about the prison sentence or the probation sentence or whatever.
I don't really care.
They can figure that out.
What I can tell you is the diary is real.
And what was said in this diary It's real.
Showers with his daughter.
The Krasensteins, everybody loves them, the liberal pundits, have argued, parents shower with the kids all the time.
Yeah, what, when they're like one or two, maybe.
But I find it very strange that in order to defend Joe Biden, who according to some reports is called Peto Pete by his own son, they'd say dads take showers with their kids all the time.
It is true.
Parents will take showers with their little kids to help them when they're little kids.
We don't know the age of Ashley.
And also, many parents, if not the majority, bathe their kids while not in the shower with them.
So I think it's a very strange thing to defend someone who says it was inappropriate that this happened.
Probably inappropriate.
I'll leave it there.
