|---|---|---|
| Good morning, everybody, and welcome to day two of the RNC. | ||
| We're here live in Milwaukee. | ||
| And the news around Donald Trump's assassination attempt is, well, it's still in full swing. | ||
| The cycle's not changing, even with breaking news about Donald Trump's VP pick. | ||
| I don't know how you get past a news cycle like this. | ||
| So so obviously, this is what's been dominating the headlines and the attempt on Donald Trump's life. | ||
| On Saturday has caused a dramatic cultural shift, something that we have been begging for for nearly eight years. | ||
| It's been completely ignored. | ||
| Recently, one of the one of the largest stories, biggest, most impactful stories pertaining to the culture around the threats against Donald Trump's life is Jack Black. | ||
| Tenacious D, for those that aren't familiar, it's Jack Black and Kyle Gass. | ||
| They have a movie, they had an HBO show. | ||
| Comments were made by Kyle Gass on stage, who is the counterpart to Jack Black, saying he wished that Donald Trump had lost his life that day. | ||
| The big news is that Jack Black has announced he's canceling, I think it's 11 or 12, it might be 11 or 12 shows in response to what was said. | ||
| Perhaps it's in response to the backlash. | ||
| We can go back in time quite a bit. | ||
| We can go back in time to Kathy Griffin holding up a severed Donald Trump head in effigy, or Snoop Dogg pointing a gun at a fake Trump in a music video. | ||
| We can go back to when the Covington kids, who did nothing wrong in Washington, D.C., were threatened with death. | ||
| We can go back to far-left riots throughout the past ten years. | ||
| I mean, going back to Occupy Wall Street. | ||
| And every step of the way, it has been people like you and I saying, stop. | ||
| We don't want violence. | ||
| Turn the volume down. | ||
| And they wouldn't. | ||
| In the summer of love, in Provo, Utah, a man ran up to a vehicle and shot the driver for no reason. | ||
| Literally none. | ||
| It wasn't like a driver was ramming a crowd of protesters. | ||
| It was a car driving down the street with a violent mob occupying the intersection. | ||
| And when they tried to turn, someone just ran up and shot the driver. | ||
| Aaron Danielson was walking down the street when a far leftist with a Black Lives Matter tattoo shot him twice and killed him. | ||
| We know about the chess shop. | ||
| When these far leftists unloaded hundreds of rounds into an SUV, several people were murdered in these locations. | ||
| Every step of the way. | ||
| It has been people like you and I begging for them to turn this down, to stop. | ||
| When we go live on Timcast IRL, for instance, we say it must go through the process. | ||
| We believe in a functioning legal system. | ||
| We must have a functioning legal system. | ||
| And they go on social media and they call for violence. | ||
| The big story Around cancel culture, or I should say the big cycle around cancel culture. | ||
| And this debate has sprung up recently with comments made by people like Kyle Gass and where we're currently at now. | ||
| I think a lot of people misunderstand what cancel culture is because I've been having this debate quite a bit since Saturday. | ||
| As to whether or not we tolerate the suspension, the banning, and the cancellation of individuals over things they say. | ||
| And I think many people are too quick to ignore or forget the difference between what it is the left is doing and what it is the right is doing. | ||
| I can take you back to when I went on Joe Rogan's podcast talking with Vijaya Gadde and Jack Dorsey about cancel culture and what we were upset about. | ||
| One, the incongruous rule structure. | ||
| Rules were enforced differently against the right than they were the left. | ||
| That's a fact. | ||
| And that was first reported by Gizmodo, despite the fact they claimed I was exaggerating or pushing conspiracy theories by simply repeating it. | ||
| The left had been screaming, punch a Nazi over and over again, but then adding, anyone who supports Trump is a Nazi. | ||
| And so what is that message that got sent out? | ||
| It was from the left. | ||
| The left was calling for people to be violent. | ||
| When I was on Joe Rogan's show, I pointed out to the far- to Vijaya Gade, here's an Antifa account calling for violence and telling people where to go to commit that violence, and you won't take it down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| They had no answer. | ||
| And they never ended up taking it down. | ||
| Strange, isn't it? | ||
| Since the attempt on Donald Trump's life, finally, things have changed. | ||
| Or at least starting to. | ||
| Certainly, there are still crackpot, wackaloon, liberal, and Democrat personalities calling Trump an existential threat who must be stopped. | ||
| But this story right here is the biggest. | ||
| The tenacious detour is over! | ||
| And I'll play the video for you. | ||
| On CNN, one of their personalities, I'm not sure who this individual was, said Democrats should turn their fire on Trump, and a split second later said, I should not have said that. | ||
| In the corporate press, they're even scared to use a simple turn of phrase. | ||
| And I'll tell you this. | ||
| I have no issue with someone using a turn of phrase. | ||
| Put him in the crosshairs, it's time to focus on Trump and win this election. | ||
| I got no problem with that. | ||
| On a normal day. | ||
| Someone says, it's time to stop worrying about a debate and point your fire on Donald Trump. | ||
| I have no problem with a turn of phrase. | ||
| Here's the problem. | ||
| For nearly a decade, they have called Trump Hitler. | ||
| We know what that means. | ||
| They have said he's an existential threat. | ||
| They have said, punch a Nazi. | ||
| They have said, get in their faces. | ||
| You cannot have 15,000 instances of nudge, nudge, wink, wink. | ||
| We know what you mean. | ||
| Now, if Sarah Palin or someone says, put him in the crosshairs. | ||
| They are going to lose this election. | ||
| I say, I get it. | ||
| But we are so far beyond that right now, where the left has literally killed people, engaged in violence, and now finally made an attempt on the life of Donald Trump. | ||
| Oh, I know, I know. | ||
| These activists are coming out and saying, he was a Republican. | ||
| The man who made the attempt on Donald Trump's life was a nothing. | ||
| He was a nothing. | ||
| He was a crackpot lunatic. | ||
| But there's only one reason why he would take the actions that he took. | ||
| It's because the corporate press, the Democrats, the media establishment has been screaming Trump is an existential threat to our democracy. | ||
| He is Hitler who must be stopped. | ||
| A crazy enough person takes the action that the media has requested over and over and over again. | ||
| The left calls this stochastic terrorism, and they accuse the right of doing it. | ||
| But let me pause your right there. | ||
| The right consistently saying, we want to win in court. | ||
| The right consistently NOT rioting. | ||
| Now I'll tell you what stochastic terrorism is in the simplest sense. | ||
| It is the story of, oh won't someone rid me of this meddlesome priest. | ||
| If you're not familiar, I recommend you look up the story. | ||
| Basically, the king has these four knights, and he's frustrated by this priest, who is a bishop, I believe, who is excommunicating people, and he just sits there and goes, oh, won't someone rid me of this meddlesome priest? | ||
| And so these other knights thought it was an official order, and they're like, if we don't do this, he's gonna be mad at us. | ||
| So they went and, you know, that's stochastic terrorism in a nutshell. | ||
| When the far left says Trump is Hitler, when they say things like, if you could go back in time and stop Hitler, would you do it? | ||
| When they say things like punch a Nazi over and over again, and they go, but you don't like Nazis, right? | ||
| And then in the same breath go, and don't forget who the Nazis are. | ||
| They're saying, oh, won't someone rid me of this priest? | ||
| But it's not just in that context. | ||
| They're looking you in the face and saying, won't you rid me of this priest? | ||
| I'm not saying to do anything. | ||
| Oh, I would never. | ||
| So let's talk about some of these examples. | ||
| People are getting fired. | ||
| Teachers, nurses, we've got a firefighter who's resigned from his position. | ||
| Because these people have all gone on social media and have advocated for, called for, and hoped for more to come. | ||
| We had a viral video from Elad Eliyahu, who interviewed a woman with a crossbow, just outside the RNC, who is saying that she fears political violence, but she wished But the person didn't miss. | ||
| And she hopes it happens again! | ||
| They're screaming it in your face. | ||
| Now, here's the important factor. | ||
| Regular people, not the political far-left activists, regular run-of-the-mill default liberals are terrified by this. | ||
| And what we're seeing now is the prediction market swinging for Trump. | ||
| We are seeing... The official polls aren't out yet. | ||
| But it's already starting to look like general pulsar sentiment is Trump has just surged across the swing states, especially with J.D. | ||
| Vance. | ||
| So let's talk about this Jack Black story. | ||

| We have this from the New York Post. | ||
| Blindsided Jack Black addresses Tenacious D Bandmate's shameful comment about Trump assassination attempt. | ||
| They say Tenacious D's Kyle Gass put himself in the proverbial line of fire for making a joke about the assassination attempt of Donald Trump. | ||
| The rock duo, comprised of Gass, 64, and Jack Black, 54, was performing at the ICC Sydney Theatre in Australia on Sunday, the day after Trump, 78, was shot in the ear at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. | ||
| Black brought out a birthday cake for Gas, who turned 64 that day, and asked him to make a wish, as seen in fan footage. | ||
| Don't miss Trump next time, Gas responded. | ||
| The audience laughed. | ||
| How about this? | ||
| Let me just play the clip for you. | ||
| The audio is a little low, so I don't know if I can boost it a little bit, but you can listen to yourself. | ||
| Happy birthday to you! | ||
| you can listen to yourself. | ||

Happy birthday to you! | |
| Make a wish, Canada! | ||
| Don't miss Trump next time. | ||
| Happy birthday! | ||
| Woo! | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| People are clapping. | ||
| That's what's terrifying, is that people are clapping. | ||
| And I see a lot of people. | ||

| Visit momsforamerica.us today for more information and to secure your exclusive VIP meet-and-greet tickets. | ||
| See you on the tour. | ||
| In the chat saying that Australia's MAGA country. | ||
| Well, Tenacious D has responded. | ||
| Jack Black posted, I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday. | ||
| I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form. | ||
| After much reflection, I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour. | ||
| And all future creative plans are on hold. | ||
| I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding. | ||
| My friends... He's basically ended Tenacious D over this. | ||
| That's absolutely wild. | ||
| Now, if you jump over to the Tenacious D website, you can see that they had 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 shows with only two of them that weren't sold out! | ||
| And that's not just in Australia, New Zealand. | ||
| You had Columbus, Ohio. | ||
| You have Bloomington, Indiana, Madison, Wisconsin. | ||
| This is effectively the end of Tenacious D over what Kyle Gass said. | ||
| Now what's fascinating is, I feel like they are doing what they're told to do. | ||
| And I don't mean literally told. | ||
| I mean, these are people who monitor the media, are paying attention to what's going on, are seeing the cultural zeitgeist, and they think, this is what's funny and this is what we should do. | ||
| As evidenced by Kathy Griffin. | ||
| I mean, I'll show you some of these some of these these images. | ||
| Kathy Griffin, censored, of course, holding up an effigy, Donald Trump's bloodied, severed head. | ||
| An image from a Snoop Snoop Dogg music video where he's pointing a gun at Donald Trump's head. | ||
| It's been commonplace. | ||
| It's been commonplace. | ||
| And so Jack Black and Kyle Gass are on stage, and Kyle Gass thinks he's being an edgy boy, but he thinks it's well within the confines of what is and has been acceptable this whole time. | ||
| Now, Jack Black wholeheartedly endorsed Joe Biden on numerous occasions. | ||
| I think... I don't think they realized, at that moment, what Kyle Gass did. | ||
| And some people have said, That Jack Black is only cancelling the show because of the backlash. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Agreed. | |
| We've had several shows on Tim Castile that have been pulled because of calls for violence, whether intentional or otherwise. | ||
| There's two big reasons to this. | ||
| And the first and the most obvious is, guys, we don't want to get banned. | ||
| We don't want the show to cease to exist. | ||
| But that is a matter of function. | ||
| The anger that I have when, you know, look, I can only be so angry at how YouTube runs their rules, right? | ||
| And so when we were doing the live stream for the presidential debate and we had threats, Veiled threats from CNN about copyright takedowns, we multi-streamed. | ||
| As an aside, for those that are wondering why we haven't since then, it's really hard to do. | ||
| Synchronizing three streams is not easy, and the return just wasn't there for us to... It actually delayed the show, it made it late, trying to synchronize these streams was not easy. | ||
| But that's what we did because we were worried about being taken down. | ||
| So I can only be so upset about how the system works. | ||
| I try to navigate that. | ||
| But my frustration and my anger with many people when they come on Tim Kast IRL and make direct calls for violence is that... I feel like it's a personal insult to me. | ||
| Like, you wouldn't go on Tucker Carlson's show and do that. | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| They never did. | ||
| They think they can come on here and just spit on us. | ||
| We're trying to be reasonable, academic, and family-friendly. | ||
| But the problem is, it is the most tactless move one could make. | ||
| We're on the verge of winning. | ||
| Donald Trump gets elected. | ||
| I don't think it's going to be this great, you know, God Emperor, MAGA, whatever a lot of the Trump supporters think it is. | ||
| I think it's a victory and I think it'll help to bring accountability and justice and fix some of the problems in this country. | ||
| Far from perfect, but the best we got and pretty good. | ||
| So coming out and advocating or making allusions to violence only hurts everything we're fighting for. | ||
| For Jack Black, I can tell you why he didn't care, and why it was the backlash that ultimately resulted in him deciding to cancel his tour and effectively end Tenacious D. Before I do, I want to point out, I'm a huge Tenacious D fan. | ||
| Jack Black endorses Joe Biden, fine, but Tenacious D I find absolutely funny, I love the movie, I love the show. | ||
| I like the music. | ||
| Tribute. | ||
| These are great stuff from the 2000s that I very much am a fan of. | ||
| But I'll tell you why. | ||
| I think this is all about the backlash and not about principle. | ||
| When we have a show and someone makes an allusion to violence, I say no. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| Now, hold on. | ||
| You'll notice this too when you watch TimCast IRL or any other livestream or Culture War. | ||
| If someone says something that overtly breaks YouTube's Terms of Service or Community Guidelines, the show's off the air. | ||
| And that is, we've had people directly call for murder and things like that. | ||
| Yeah, and it's frustrating, and it's not okay. | ||
| And I say outright, like, well, you broke the rules. | ||
| Like, you can't go on any show and do that. | ||
| You can't go on cable and do that. | ||
| You can't go on Rumble and do that. | ||
| A lot of people for some reason think Rumble wouldn't take you down if you called for murder. | ||
| Yes they will! | ||
| Absolutely they will. | ||
| It's legal liability and it's bad. | ||
| Now hold on. | ||
| There have been certain circumstances where people have said things that are not against the rules but talk about reciprocity and lack of unity and I push back on those things and say we have to be within the confines of the legal system because we are trying to preserve that legal system. | ||
| Jack Black didn't do that. | ||
| I have a remedy for you. | ||
| Some people say, well, Jack Black was blindsided. | ||
| He didn't know how to respond to this. | ||
| I mean, it's not his fault. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| It is his fault. | ||
| Because I can tell you exactly what Jack Black could have done at this show and what I would have done at this show. | ||
| If I'm on stage in front of 5000 people, if I was in that moment, And if I was Jack Black, I would, as soon as Kyle Gass said, don't miss Trump next time, I would have went, no! | ||
| In the classic Jack Black style and said, guys, guys, I know, I know you're trying to be edgy and funny and we've all, we've all, we all love a good edgy joke and a joke is a joke. | ||
| But it is not appropriate right now. | ||
| And I'd look to them and say, I know everybody's got strong feelings about it. | ||
| We shouldn't be making jokes like that. | ||
| Kyle, I love you, man. | ||
| It's your birthday. | ||
| We'll give you a pass. | ||
| But please, we've got to recognize this is not something we want to wade into. | ||
| And we wish the best for former President Trump. | ||
| And we hope no one... You've got to understand, too, that a man lost his life and two people are critically injured. | ||
| He could have just said, there are people seriously hurt here. | ||
| We don't make light of tragedies. | ||
| We don't make light of shootings. | ||
| Okay guys, let's pull that back a little bit. | ||
| Let's get back to the show. | ||
| And I saw some, I see some people are chatting saying, well that would kill the momentum. | ||
| Dude, Jack Black could have recognized in the immediate they crossed the line. | ||
| But guys, he didn't know he did. | ||
| They've been doing this for years! | ||
| Right here, Snoop Dogg aiming a gun at a caricature of Donald Trump. | ||
| Kathy Griffin, she got fired for this. | ||
| They've been doing this kind of thing for years. | ||
| He thought it would be fine. | ||
| And I'll tell you what happened. | ||
| After the show, what likely happened, massive backlash. | ||
| Emails, complaints. | ||
| I bet sponsors were pulling out. | ||
| I bet contracts were being canceled. | ||
| And this is the massive cultural shift. | ||
| Again, dude, I'm a big Tenacious D fan. | ||
| I saw them at, what is it, Blue Ridge Rockfest, I think it was a couple years ago, hanging out with Phil Labonte, and we got to watch GWAR, I think it was GWAR, and then Tenacious D, and they had to clean the blood up, and it was a blast! | ||
| Because I think Jack Black's fantastic. | ||
| I don't like his politics. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| He's not been the worst, but this crossed the line. | ||
| It crossed the line. | ||
| And I actually hate to see them say that they're shutting down their future. | ||
| I think Jack Black should just come out and apologize. | ||
| Just, uh, we're blindsided. | ||
| I'm shutting this all down. | ||
| That's a little far. | ||
| I still think there's an opportunity for redemption. | ||
| A moment for Jack Black to come out and be like, If he said, basically, as what I was saying, we've all been living in this world where people have been making these edgy jokes and thinking they're removed from these circumstances, I'd say, okay, dude, you're a portly fella playing guitar for laughs. | ||
| You're not a politician, okay? | ||
| Maybe knock off a political endorsement at this point. | ||
| Instead, it's just the end of Tenacious D over this. | ||
| Now let me tell you about cancel culture, and I'll play some of the other clips and we'll talk about some of the other firings. | ||
| Let me tell you about cancel culture, because I've been having this debate. | ||
| We had this debate last night. | ||
| I had it earlier in the day. | ||
| Cancel culture, at least to me, was always when someone got fired for something that was unreasonable or old. | ||
| Sarah Silverman got fired from a movie because 10 years prior, she did blackface. | ||
| And it's like, 10 years ago, nobody was complaining about this and it was just edgy humor. | ||
| You can't come back 10 years in the future and say you have a grievance over a past action, so you're fired. | ||
| That's cancel culture. | ||
| Someone, in real time, saying something detrimental to a business and getting fired over it. | ||
| Now that's different, but only within reason. | ||
| So my point is, Viva Frye on Tim Casserole last night said, if you're making a statement that is the antithesis of your job, you should be fired. | ||
| My point was, if you are damaging a business, the business has no obligation to pay you. | ||
| If you are a nurse, and you make a statement about politics, they shouldn't fire you over it. | ||
| However, politics is getting dangerously close to destroying a business. | ||
| My point is this. | ||
| If you work for a pizza restaurant, and then you decide to go on social media and make a video saying people should not buy from the restaurant because pizza is disgusting and bad for you, I'm gonna let you go. | ||
| You are damaging the business, you are hurting other employees. | ||
| As long as the operation is trying to be honest and provide a real service, you actively trying to destroy that business makes no sense why we would keep you around. | ||
| That is not cancel culture in my opinion. | ||
| Cancel culture is an employee at a pizza restaurant posting a political opinion about Donald Trump getting fired over it. | ||
| What does that have to do with the business? | ||
| Now, you might be saying, yeah, but some people won't shop there because of your opinions on Trump, and that's cancel culture. | ||
| If some people choose not to shop a place because a person had an ancillary opinion in some way, yeah, that's ridiculous. | ||
| Everybody has opinions, and this is the age that we're in. | ||
| Personally, if it did damage the business and I'm the boss, I'd simply go to the person and say, like, here's my view. | ||
| My view is, when we've had people at Timcast post things that were, like, shocking and egregious, I'm just like, Maybe you should consider if that's an effective means of conveying your message, but far be it for me to delete any of your posts or tell you what to post, do your thing. | ||
| I think my limit is like... | ||
| And I ask all of you who are members of TimCast.com, because I know what your answer is going to be. | ||
| If someone who worked at TimCast made videos and started posting advocating for child sex change surgery, should we keep them on staff and keep paying them? | ||
| Yeah, the answer is no. | ||
| And it's not because I hate them. | ||
| And it's not because cancel culture. | ||
| Oh, no, you're gonna get us in trouble. | ||
| It's you are representing the antithesis of what we are trying to accomplish with our company. | ||
| And there is no reason to employ and pay someone who is actually causing damage to what we're trying to build. | ||
| So, the first thing I'd say is, yeah, I don't agree with that. | ||
| I think it's wrong. | ||
| I think it's morally reprehensible. | ||
| And I'd say we don't want that advocacy at our company. | ||
| It's not only detrimental to what we're trying to build, it's in opposition to our moral worldview, and we find it to be wrong. | ||
| If you believe that's your mission, then I humbly request you take your mission elsewhere. | ||
| I don't find that unreasonable. | ||
| 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 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. | ||
| A lot of people don't like what happened with Candace and Daily Wire, and perhaps it's because people view it as hypocritical to some degree. | ||
| I can't speak for either of these groups. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| All I can say is, it has never been to me cancel culture that a business is like, you're destroying our business, you should go. | ||
| Pause. | ||
| What I'm saying is, The idea that because someone has a political opinion outside the elements of your business, it's damaging to you is not- I do not agree with. | ||
| That's an absurdity. | ||
| Letting weird wackaloons attack your business over something unrelated to your business makes no sense. | ||
| But let me show you some of what we've got so far and where we're at now. | ||
| Take a look at this. | ||
| Tenet Media posting. | ||
| You guys should subscribe to at WatchTenetNow on X. They're hitting these clips, they're posting them, but also we have the Culture War Show Friday mornings with Tenet Media on YouTube, so shout out Tenet. | ||
| They've been slaying it actually, so super proud to have the culture war with them. | ||
| Take a look at this video from CNN. | ||
| Let's play that. | ||

He has said many, many times, after having been questioned many times about this, that he's not stepping down and he's going to be the nominee. | |
| So, at some point, Democrats have to decide that they want to try to win this election and turn their fire on Donald Trump. | ||
| I think there is... I shouldn't have said turn their fire. | ||
| I apologize. | ||
| That was not the phrase that I meant. | ||
| They need to turn their focus on Donald Trump. | ||
| I absolutely respect that. | ||
| I absolutely respect that. | ||
| She said, turn your fire on Donald Trump. | ||
| And it was a simple turn of phrase. | ||
| It's not a big deal. | ||
| Typically, considering what just happened and considering the escalation of rhetoric, I absolutely respect that she stopped right there and said, I should not have used that phrase, put their focus on Donald Trump. | ||
| Because in any normal circumstance, any one of us would use a simple statement like that. | ||
| We're going to give him hell. | ||
| We're going to fight like hell. | ||
| We're going to push him back, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| No one literally thinks, like, no one thinks, no honest person thinks you're literally talking about pushing or hitting someone or getting into a fistfight. | ||
| That's an absurdity. | ||
| Considering, however, the grains of sand making a heap, the straws on the camel's back, it was very nice of her to say, well, I shouldn't leave that straw right there on that camel's back. | ||
| It's probably not a good idea. | ||
| You see what I mean? | ||
| Like, recognizing she didn't do anything, but the snowflake doesn't blame itself for the avalanche. | ||
| Now where we're going. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| This is getting interesting. | ||
| The far leftists who are getting fired over this stuff. | ||
| It's absolutely crazy. | ||
| So what I'd like to do actually is, and the reaction that we're seeing, we'll talk about the celebrity reactions. | ||
| I'll take some of your super chats. | ||
| So smash that like button. | ||
| One like is one fight, fight, fight. | ||
| Become a member at TimCast.com. | ||
| We're going to jump into the next segment in a second after I grab some comments from you on this first segment. | ||
| And then we'll talk about We've got a firefighter, uh, we've got, uh, who lost his job. | ||
| I think I might have some other stories pulled up, uh, pertaining to this. | ||
| Let's talk about, we'll start with this. | ||
| Morning Joe getting pulled off the air and they are losing their minds. | ||
| But mourning Joe gets pulled off the air. | ||
| Some leftists have lost their job because they're not trusted with this rhetoric. | ||
| And mourning Joe, Joe Scarborough, is threatening to quit if they ever pull a stunt like that again. | ||
| But yeah, they pulled his show off the air. | ||
| So let's talk about the reaction from those who actually want to see more of these horrifying attacks on the president. | ||
| Alright, let's grab some of your superchats, my friends, before we jump into the next segment. | ||
| And again, smash that like button. | ||

What up? | |
| He says, Tim, the way you say Ian's Graphene Dream when promoting his coffee blend, it tickles my brain every time. | ||
| Go to castbrew.com and buy Ian's Graphene Dream. | ||
| It's our new low-acidity blend. | ||
| Apparently it's good for your gut. | ||
| Nam Bizzle says, hey man, you are ruining my routine of watching IRL in the a.m. | ||
| loljk. | ||
| I love this. | ||
| I can listen to IRL while I'm delivering my mail later. | ||
| Keep it up, bud. | ||
| Well, maybe. | ||
| I mean, I normally had the 10 a.m. | ||
| segments as it was. | ||
| And so we're here at the RNC. | ||
| And, you know, the reason I went live yesterday and the reason we're doing a live special today is because there's too much news. | ||
| I'm going through all of these stories and within 30 seconds, I have like 800. | ||
| I'm like, I just need to just roll through it. | ||
| And it also does allow me to, uh, I wrap up quicker if I do a 10 to noon. | ||
| Normally it's like 9 a.m. | ||
| to like 1 or 2 p.m. | ||
| And now it's 10 to, like, you know, I think it's fair to say 9 to noon because I am doing the research and pulling the stories earlier. | ||
| But, uh, I always have the morning show, you know? | ||
| It's always there and then we have the segments throughout the day. | ||
| So you can always catch the first segment and then we're gonna record some portions and put up the rest. | ||
| All right, Ian Kinney says, Matt at Disney Wire, oh yeah, is an example for why people vote against Republicans. | ||
| While I don't like Amber Rose, she gave an extraordinary heartfelt response. | ||
| You see, it's what I'm saying, there's a lot of news to talk about. | ||
| So, Amber Rose spoke at the RNC last night and she said she, you know, the gist of it is she thought she was informed and her dad said, then pull it up and read the news. | ||
| And she did and she went, I'm being lied to. | ||
| And Matt Walsh was critical. | ||
| I thought the RNC was basically like DEI. | ||
| I know people have said that before. | ||
| I think Amber Rose was excellent to have spoken at the RNC. | ||
| I think the RNC is trying to be cool. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| They're not very good at it, but hey, they're trying. | ||
| And they're getting some people. | ||
| Look, I'm not going to pretend like I'm the coolest person in the world or anything like that. | ||
| I'm cooler than the Republicans at the RNC. | ||
| At least I can say that. | ||
| What we need is cultural inspiration. | ||
| And look, man. | ||
| You know, when I'm a young guy, I look at the Republicans and they're like Stygie suit wearing nerds and dorks. | ||
| It's just not cool. | ||
| I understand they grew up this way. | ||
| There's honor. | ||
| There's tradition. | ||
| But it's not culturally cool. | ||
| It's not inspiring. | ||
| There's no sense of adventure. | ||
| And it really is. | ||
| It really is the sense of adventure. | ||
| The hero's journey. | ||
| Fighting against the odds and challenging the machine. | ||
| And the Republicans do not know how to embody that. | ||
| So having someone like Amber Rose speak, I think is a good start. | ||
| Because she's telling people not to live the way she lives. | ||
| She's telling them to stop falling for the media lies. | ||
| She woke up and you can too. | ||
| I think it's a good thing. | ||

I also like Matt. | |
| Matt's a good dude. | ||
| The Emperor's Champion says cancel culture is getting people fired for jokes from decades ago, not for showing how violent and vile someone is from today. | ||
| Bingo! | ||
| Some dude going up on stage and saying he wished an assassin just two days ago succeeded is very different from pulling up a guy's jokes from ten years ago when we all thought it was okay. | ||
| It is not okay right now to wish for the death and to gloat about someone who died. | ||
| He says, I don't miss next time? | ||
| Well, three guys got hit. | ||
| One guy died protecting his family. | ||
| Like, Jokes is jokes. | ||
| And that's why I'm like, he can apologize and I would accept the apology. | ||
| The apology would be the move in the right direction. | ||
| I think Jack Black made a bad move with this. | ||
| I was blindsided and I'm canceling this. | ||
| However, that being said, there's a strong possibility that Jack Black went to Kyle Gass and said, dude, you need to apologize for that. | ||
| You shouldn't have said that. | ||
| And Kyle said, no. | ||
| Kyle may have been like, no, I'm not going to apologize for that. | ||
| And then Jack is like, what am I supposed to do? | ||
| Because honestly, running a business, I have to imagine the first thing Jack did was went to Kyle and said, dude, you should apologize for saying that people are pissed. | ||
| So how is it we got to the point where Jack Black says, I'm basically shutting down Tenacious D? | ||
| I think Kyle Gass was like, I'm not apologizing. | ||
| That's what I think happened. | ||
| I don't know for sure. | ||
| So, jokes are jokes. | ||
| And you can make edgy jokes, and that's fine. | ||
| The problem is, the snowflake doesn't blame itself for the avalanche. | ||
| Somebody wants to make an edgy joke, I got no problem with it. | ||
| Right now, we're all a bit nervous, and shook up, and there's several people who are still in the hospital. | ||
| So, as they say, the joke is time plus tragedy plus time. | ||
| There's been no time. | ||
| You're just insulting tragedy. | ||
| I'll put it this way. | ||
| I'll tell you how I feel. | ||
| I feel worried. | ||
| I feel relieved. | ||
| But I feel uneasy. | ||
| And saying you wished that one of the most nightmarish things succeeded doesn't make me feel better or make me laugh. | ||
| That's why they say tragedy plus time. | ||
| That's how I feel. | ||
| And I think most moderate Americans, even default liberals, feel the same way. | ||
| They're thinking like, look man, we get jokes are jokes. | ||
| Maybe Snoop Dogg's music video was a little over the top, but yo, we're scared about what happened and we don't want advocacy for that kind of stuff. | ||
| You say this stuff after this happens, it might happen again. | ||
| The far left, they don't care. | ||
| Let me show you some of the videos we've got coming up in the show. | ||
| Knopf says, my guy, be proud of what you have done for the Western world. | ||
| I thank you for the coverage and everything you've done. | ||
| Cheers from Australia. | ||
| Well, I do appreciate it. | ||
| I am but a humble man complaining on the internet. | ||
| But, uh, I must complain very well. | ||
| I am an articulate complainer. | ||
| So much so that y'all are watching and I do appreciate it. | ||
| Long Dong John. | ||
| I just love your guys' usernames, by the way. | ||
| Reportedly, Jack unfollowed Kyle on Insta. | ||
| Perhaps a behind-the-scenes disagreement or argument leading to the band breaking up. | ||
| That breaks my heart, man. | ||
| It really does. | ||
| Jack was probably like, dude, I don't care about this stuff. | ||
| Like, I just want to rock! | ||
| And Kyle was like, you have to do what's important, Jack. | ||
| And I said what I said. | ||

And I'm not gonna apologize for it. | |

| Who knows? | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| The bonus hole says Destiny celebrates the events of Saturday and Elon allows him to remain. | ||
| Elon? | ||
| Yet we have been suspended since April with all appeals denied because we expressed pro-capital punishment views. | ||
| Elon Musk endorses terrorism. | ||
| The fact that Destiny celebrates the events on Saturday. | ||
| No, actually, Destiny had several, I don't know how many posts that were taken out. | ||
| I know at least one. | ||
| I think he had a couple that were removed for violating the TOS. | ||
| And I respect Elon Musk for doing all of this. | ||
| I had an argument yesterday where it's like, yeah, but Destiny should be allowed to speak and say these things. | ||
| And I'm like, no, no, no, no, hold on there a minute. | ||
| I am of a new mind on this. | ||
| I will not tolerate those who seek to burn down everything we have built. | ||
| This classical liberal, we must respect the free speech even of those who don't respect ours. | ||
| I say, no we don't. | ||
| No, we absolutely do not. | ||
| That is naive. | ||
| That is, coming from an age of liberalism, which I was in 10 years ago, Where we believed we were in a world that we had succeeded in securing. | ||
| That we did not think could fall. | ||
| And then we saw that these very people were seeking to destroy our lives and burned down everything we built. | ||
| And they began to succeed. | ||
| And it's at that point I said, unfortunately. | ||
| Unfortunately. | ||
| We have neglected to understand the math behind the principles and the morals, and that is, when it comes to the Second Amendment, the right to keep and bear arms, that does not give you the right to engage in violence and hurt people. | ||
| It certainly does not. | ||
| If someone decides to violate social order and general human decency and morality and take action with a firearm to hurt someone else, The law prescribes we can defend ourselves or others legally. | ||
| We recognize the right to self-defense. | ||
| We oppose violence. | ||
| However, in the instance where someone takes a violent action against you, you are legally, you have an affirmative defense in opening fire on a would-be killer. | ||
| You have the right to defend yourself. | ||
| Now, what about speech? | ||
| Do we have a right to defend ourselves when they wield the institutions of power to strip us of our rights and destroy the world that our ancestors have fought so hard to build? | ||
| Do we just sit back and say, oh well, we believe in free speech, we let them do it? | ||
| That would be akin to being shot at and going, but we believe in the Second Amendment, so we better let him do it. | ||
| Certainly not. | ||
| There are limits. | ||
| If your free speech is simply an exploit intended to destroy our rights, I say, then get banned, dude. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I've said it before. | ||
| If this guy's a communist, outright thinking like we need to have a centralized economic system, I invite you all to debate me on the idea in the marketplace of ideas. | ||
| I'd say, free speech for him. | ||
| Because he is defending free speech. | ||
| He is using speech against our values, but inviting us to engage in a reasonable manner. | ||
| But many of these leftists who are getting banned have spent a decade saying it's a private company, they can do what they want, cry about it, you got banned. | ||
| My response to them is, Well, you get the world you asked for. | ||
| You got banned. | ||
| You asked for these rules. | ||
| It happened to you. | ||
| Congratulations! | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I give you a standing ovation. | ||
| I'm proud of you. | ||
| You've won! | ||
| I hear these people and they say, no, no, we shouldn't celebrate them getting banned. | ||
| I'm like, but they asked for it. | ||
| If a man comes to me and says, I wish that I could sink this three point shot. | ||
| And they do. | ||
| I say, wow, congratulations. | ||
| So when a man comes up to me and says, I wish private companies would ban whoever they wanted if the rules were broken and then they get banned, I'd be like, wow, congratulations. | ||
| What's the problem? | ||
| James Tiberius Kirk says, as an Aussie, I apologize. | ||

| I do. | ||
| I like Kung Fu Panda. | ||
| It's, you know, like, dude, I always find it funny when people are like, uh, you know, some of the bands that I like, uh, Mattrick is probably my favorite band. | ||
| But I like Paramore. | ||
| Uh, what are some of the, uh, Audioslave. | ||
| People rag on Nickelback. | ||
| I've never been a big Nickelback fan. | ||
| But it's like, dude, you're allowed to like things. | ||
| Like, there's a reason things are popular. | ||
| You're allowed to like them, okay? | ||
| You know? | ||
| And, you know, everyone's always ragging, like, Nickelback is lame, you shouldn't like Nickelback. | ||
| I'm like, dude, they had, like, a number one chart topping, a number one song for, like, three months. | ||
| People like Nickelback. | ||
| Stop pretending that they don't. | ||
| Now, of course, a lot of people say that they're, like, generic pop rock, so that's why they're making fun of them or whatever, and I'm like, I just think people are allowed to like things. | ||
| And you're allowed to not like them. | ||
| And you're also allowed to make fun of them. | ||
| Totally get it. | ||
| I just think, don't feel bad if there's something you like that other people think you shouldn't like and want to make fun of you over. | ||
| It's whatever. | ||
| I don't know, this Daily Mail thing says it's a live Morning Joe, but it's clearly not live! | ||

| Mr. Pistulio says, if this clip of KG didn't surface until 10 years from now, would you have the same outrage? | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| The point is... Well, I'll put it this way. | ||
| I would say it would be like half the outrage. | ||
| And I'll just pause real quick because Broken Prophet says, Tim loves Nickelback. | ||
| Love is a bit strong, my friend, but I would absolutely recommend Devil Came Down to Georgia by Nickelback. | ||
| Their cover is absolutely incredible. | ||
| The guitar playing on that is some of the best guitar playing ever. | ||
| They shortened the song a little bit, knocked out the chorus, which I'm not a big fan of, but it is a pretty great rendition of Devil Went Down to Georgia. | ||
| Dude, I don't care who you are. | ||
| Credit where credit is due. | ||
| I think Nickelback's music, for the most part, is just kind of like low tier. | ||
| I'm not into it, but people like it. | ||
| They're allowed to. | ||
| Devil Went Down to Georgia was based. | ||
| That was good stuff. | ||

All right. | |
| Where were we? | ||
| Where were we? | ||
| What was I just reading? | ||
| And then it just jumped on me. | ||
| I totally lost where I was. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Says, I vote for more morning live streams like a live stream while at work. | ||
| Thanks for all the hard work, Tim. | ||
| Yeah, it's, uh, easier to do a morning livestream than it is to do multiple segments, but this is why I wasn't doing it before. | ||
| We tried doing morning livestreams, and it actually just, uh, it actually just breaks. | ||
| So here's what happens. | ||
| I do a live stream. | ||
| We get all the segments in one two-hour show. | ||
| We put the segments up at their normal times, which is 1, 4, and 6. | ||
| And then after the live show, nobody goes and watches the segments because they watch the live show, depressing the viewer count, depressing ad revenue, and then knocking us down in the algorithm. | ||
| And I was like, wow. | ||
| I mean, it's kind of dumb, right? | ||
| Because one person will watch four videos, YouTube will promote your channel, but if one person watches the same content in one long stretch, they don't? | ||
| That sucks. | ||
| However, that being said, the last couple of weeks where I've done this for breaking news matters has been resoundingly successful, and the view counts have actually increased! | ||
| So I don't know if they changed the algorithm or what, but I'm happy about it, I'm happy about it. | ||
| So I was just reading a super chat and then the whole thing just jumped on me, and unfortunately I just lost the super chat from whoever I was reading. | ||
| So I apologize. | ||
| It's gone. | ||
| We'll grab one more super chat. | ||

| I appreciate all of you guys watching, because I just, I'm a dude complaining on the internet. | ||
| And apparently y'all like the way I complain. | ||
| So we can sit here and we can whinge together. | ||
| Perhaps it's a bit too dismissive to say it like that, reporting the news, expressing my opinions on these matters. | ||
| Let's jump to this story. | ||
| We got this from the Daily Mail, and you may have heard the news yesterday, but this plays into a much bigger story around leftists who are losing their jobs for calling for the assassination, praising the attempt, wishing for it. | ||
| They're losing their jobs over this. | ||
| Some have screamed, cancel culture! | ||
| We can't support this. | ||
| We should not be the authoritarian bad guys. | ||
| And I'm like, no, hold on there. | ||
| Hold on there. | ||
| First and foremost, as is written in the Bible, right? | ||
| Live by the sword. | ||
| I believe that's in the Bible. | ||
| That's where it comes from. | ||
| Correct me those that know the Bible better than I. | ||
| You live by the sword, you die by the sword. | ||
| And it means, you enter this arena, then you will be subjected to the rules of that arena. | ||
| For the people who have long begged, begged for censorship, and to excise ideas they did not like from culture, to have it happen to them, I shed not a single tear. | ||
| Not one, I show but no remorse. | ||
| I have no F's to give. | ||
| None. | ||
| They're all kept over here and all of the F's I have to give are for the people who actually care about our rights and free speech and protecting this country and the Constitution. | ||
| Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough, responds to getting pulled off the air after Donald Trump's shooting. | ||
| My friends, this is a man who is one of the most vile and despicable liars They pulled his show off the air yesterday because of the attempted assassination on Donald Trump. | ||
| And they did it because they did not trust this man, nor his wife, Mika Brzezinski. | ||
| They were concerned, this is my understanding, that they would go on the show and say something shocking and egregious, which would rip, to the core, their moderate viewers. | ||
| Regular people don't like what happened. | ||
| Regular people do not like the attempt on Donald Trump's life. | ||
| Far-left extremists and wack-a-loon activists are saying something else, and they're losing their jobs because of it. | ||
| Because regular people are scared. | ||
| They don't want this. | ||
| It's gone too far. | ||
| Let's let me give you some examples. | ||
| First, we've got Morning Joe losing his mind over his show being pulled. | ||
| It is back on the air. | ||
| And then we, of course, have some real world examples. | ||
| A firefighter who was shocked to find it's against the rules to celebrate an assassination attempt to call for more and had to resign from his job because of it. | ||
| Cancel culture. | ||
| Let's talk about cancel culture. | ||
| From the Daily Mail, a frustrated MSNBC host, Joe Scarborough, has said he was very disappointed | ||
| that his flagship morning show, Morning Joe, was pulled off the air after the assassination of | ||
| Trump. The decision to yank the show on Monday sparked huge backlash and suggestions it was an | ||
| admission by NBC that they didn't trust the anchors to cover their horrific shooting. | ||
| Scarborough and co-host wife, Mika Brzezinski, returned to the air Tuesday morning and vented | ||
| their frustration at the network. It came hours after Trump was given a rock star welcome as he | ||
| walked into the Republican National Convention with a bandage on his right ear where the bullet | ||
| ripped through the skin. | ||
| Apparently, he's got a piece of his ear missing. | ||
| I don't know how bad it is. | ||
| They may have been able to just stitch the ear back together. | ||
| So after he takes the bandage off, it may just look a little different. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| Joe Scarborough. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Scarborough and his wife, Mika Brzezinski, returned to the air. | ||
| Before we start this hour, Willie Geist co-host, and I just want to talk briefly to our friends and viewers that watch us every day and talk about what happened yesterday. | ||
| We were told in no uncertain terms on Sunday evening that there was going to be one news feed across all NBC News channels yesterday, and today's show would be Lester Holt. | ||
| Other people that, well, That, well, you worked with on Sunday, and that was going to be one news feed across NBC News channels that were going to stay as a network and breaking news throughout all day yesterday. | ||
| That did not happen, Scarborough added, telling viewers how MSNBC returned to its regular programming, which included the first day of the Republican National Convention. | ||
| We don't know why that was. | ||
| That didn't happen. | ||
| Our team was not given a good answer as to why that didn't happen, but it didn't happen. | ||
| We were also told it was going to happen throughout the day. | ||
| And I guess that there was such a strong blowback about yesterday morning, I guess they changed their plans. | ||
| And so those plans changed as well, so it didn't... This is written very poorly. | ||
| And you know, we've talked about it off the air. | ||
| We'll talk about it on the air, because we talk about everything on the air, we were very surprised, we were very disappointed, and if we had known that there wasn't going to be the one news feed from NBC across all NBC, Willie, we obviously would have been in yesterday morning. | ||
| Scarborough then said the next time it happens, they will be in chairs covering breaking news or else the network can get somebody else. | ||
| What I've heard is that they pulled the show, and I don't know if it's true, because they did not trust Morning Show. | ||
| Let me explain to you. | ||
| This is a guy Who went on his show and said, this version of Joe Biden is the sharpest version I've ever seen. | ||
| And then what, like a month later at the debate, Joe Biden's like, and then he's like, yeah, he was lying to you. | ||
| He was lying to you. | ||
| So that's perhaps not why they pulled this show. | ||
| Maybe it is. | ||
| But let me show you where we are in the real world. | ||
| So Raj Hashmi with the FAFO, FAFO, that means F around to find out. | ||
| Here's a post Libs of TikTok highlighted of a firefighter who said, this is Tony Bendali who resigned. | ||
| He says that he's upset the bullet missed. | ||
| His quote was that too bad it didn't hit him square. | ||
| Libs of TikTok writes, it's especially disgusting coming from a fellow firefighter and someone who's supposed to protect others. | ||
| That's right, Corey Compratore. | ||
| Lost his life protecting his family, and as these bullets zipped past Donald Trump, not only do we have TimCast members who were there, shout out to Patriot, TimCast member who called into the show last night, was there with his children, guarding them, protecting them from bullets, and he survived, and his family is okay, and we're glad to hear it. | ||
| But this man, Corey, he's a firefighter, and this guy said too bad. | ||
|

|
Well, here's what happens. | |
| He ends up getting his post removed. | ||
| And he says, aw, someone reported my post. | ||
| And then he posted this. | ||
| To everyone. | ||
| Please accept this as my resignation from the firehouse. | ||
| I can't do this. | ||
| This is so beyond anything that should ever be happening. | ||
| I have been threatened. | ||
| My family has been threatened. | ||
| My friends have been threatened. | ||
| I have never felt so unsafe in my life. | ||
| This is so far past anything that should ever be condoned. | ||
| It's one thing to ruin my life. | ||
| I accept that. | ||
| But to put everyone else in danger around me. | ||
| To shut down everyone's daily life, this is not okay. | ||
| If you condone what's currently occurring, you should take a long, hard look in the mirror as well. | ||
| I made a mistake with that simple statement. | ||
| I own that. | ||
| But to threaten those around me with harm that had no part in this, I can't do it. | ||
| I'm sorry to everyone who is currently affected by this. | ||
| I'm ashamed that I've brought this to you. | ||
| I've already lost several people extremely close to me. | ||
| I expect to lose more. | ||
| I do not believe that anybody should be threatening anybody. | ||
| And I'm sad to hear that's what people are doing. | ||
| They shouldn't. | ||
| But I'd like to stress, this man, for years, and to a certain degree, I'll cut him some slack, but for years, these far leftists, these progressives, have advocated for, celebrated, and called for violence. | ||
| We all remember the woodchipper poster, the post, the man who posted the woodchipper art about Covington kids, or Reza Aslan, saying that a child had a punchable face. | ||
| They have enjoyed the pleasures of advocating for extreme violence for a decade! | ||
| And we've begged them to stop! | ||
| And now, comeuppance, these people are scared because they can now feel what so many people on the right have felt and begged to stop. | ||
| But you know, I say we be magnanimous! | ||
| We say, sir, I ask you of this, Tony. | ||
| Publicly apologize, legitimately and sincerely, and you will have my forgiveness. | ||
| I do not believe this country moves forward by gloating and tolerating this degree of aggression. | ||
| The man said a stupid thing. | ||
| Too bad it didn't hit him square. | ||
| He should not have said such a thing. | ||
| He should not. | ||
| And if he apologizes, I will accept that apology, and I believe that we should all move on. | ||
| However, in the meantime, it doesn't seem that he's actually going to be apologizing. | ||
| And I think it's important to stress, once again, that many of these people have celebrated and flouted the rules and gotten away with it for so long, and we only asked that the rules be properly enforced. | ||
| And they were not being. | ||
| And now, they're starting to be. | ||
| And now that these individuals are starting to feel it, now they're getting scared and upset. | ||
| Well, we should have standards. | ||
| We should maintain those standards. | ||
| And so hopefully this man does issue an apology. | ||
| He's not the only one. | ||
| There are other big stories the Daily Mail has picked up. | ||
| Libs of TikTok has pulled up a ton of these stories of individuals who have been gloating. | ||
| And people are getting mad at Libs, saying, it's cancel culture! | ||
| It's cancel culture that you are finding people who have posted things online and you're getting them fired. | ||
| And my response is, You know, this ain't Jack Black and Kyle Gass on stage at a big venue. | ||
| These are just people on their own social media accounts expressing awful opinions. | ||
| And I'm a bit torn on the matter. | ||
| But I can only say this. | ||
| I will not defend any of them. | ||
| I will say, we're on the line. | ||
| If some I don't know. | ||
| You know, I think it's important to say this. | ||
| Viva Frye had an excellent point. | ||
| He said, if the statements you are making fly in the face of your profession, such as a firefighter gloating about a circumstance in which a firefighter was shot and killed, I think that qualifies for your termination. | ||
| If a nurse also is gloating about a situation where people are being shot and killed, when doctors, I know she's not a doctor, but doctors swear to do no harm, I think it's appropriate she get fired. | ||
| I think Viva makes a great point in that regard. | ||
| For a lot of these people, like there's a woman at Home Depot and she said something and someone went there and filmed her and she's like, Sir, I'm at work. | ||
| These people would never dare express this in public. | ||
| Now there is a, we want them to say these things. | ||
| We want them to expose who they are kind of circumstance. | ||
| However, what I will say, my friends, I will not defend him. | ||
| I won't stand for this man. | ||
| I won't ask him to get his job back. | ||
| I won't defend what he said because, well, there's cultural wartime and there's cultural peacetime. | ||
| And ten years ago, we all thought that we could avoid the greatest effect of this conflict in the culture war. | ||
| We thought that If we supported free speech, free speech would win. | ||
| And we thought that these big platforms would protect our free speech, and they don't. | ||
| And now we have seen that these people have wielded the sword of censorship against us to the point where they are destroying this nation, Western culture and society, something that our ancestors fought so hard to build. | ||
| And so my answer now is, I'm not going to defend someone who is attacking me. | ||
| Not gonna happen. | ||
| Principles, morals, these questions are not answered properly. | ||
| You can't just say, I believe in free speech, therefore my enemies are allowed to attack me. | ||
| That makes no sense. | ||
| I will not accept that. | ||
| If this man wants to lay down his proverbial sword and say, I should not be engaging in this behavior, I say, then you are no longer my enemy. | ||
| And you deserve your right to speak, same as everybody else. | ||
| But so long as these people are advocating for and defending the attack on a president, which would be the destruction of this country, and in fact, again, a great point Viva Fry made yesterday on Timcast IRL, if Trump had taken that bullet, World War III, no question, it would have been worse than Franz Ferdinand. | ||
| These people are advocating for what is essentially setting the match which will light the tinderbox of apocalypse. | ||
| I will not defend their right to do that. | ||
| It will not happen. | ||
| On top of all of this, my my! | ||
| Blue Anon is out in spades and I will not defend their right to say these things. | ||
| Steven Beschloss Is Trump's bandage covering evidence that he wasn't shot? | ||
| Still waiting for confirmation from credible sources beyond Trump on his truth social that he was actually hit by a bullet rather than hit by glass or other debris. | ||
| What would it look like? | ||
| What would Trump's ear look like if it was hit by glass or debris? | ||
| The same. | ||
| You know, let me show you. | ||
| There's a post down here somewhere. | ||
| Look what they're doing. | ||
| People are posting this photo from 2022. | ||
| Actually, do I think... I think I might have that pulled up. | ||
| No, I don't. | ||
| Just live to TikTok. | ||
| People are pulling up this photo from 2022 and saying, see, look, his ear is fine. | ||
| This is from two years ago. | ||
| It's a two-year-old photo. | ||
| Didn't we see him golfing with a bandit yesterday? | ||
| No! | ||
| He was facing the other direction. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Trump is on stage with blood in his ear, coming down the side of his face, and they are actually suggesting several different things. | ||
| One, that when Trump got shot and grabbed his ear, he was actually smacking a gel pack. | ||
| I love that one. | ||
| Ooh, he hits the gel pack, it bursts, then he falls, and it was hidden in his hat the whole time! | ||
| Then his hat falls off and it's all over his ear. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| And then you have people arguing the Secret Service, when they grabbed him, they applied the gel pack. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Come on, man! | |
| You see, when they can't outright advocate for these things, they try to make sure the narrative is that Donald Trump never got hit at all. | ||
| And so we're seeing this post circulating far and wide. | ||
| This is the story. | ||
| This is a photo from today, supposedly. | ||
| It's not. | ||
| It's from two years ago. | ||
| And this photo has been going massively viral with millions of views. | ||
| They're trying to claim that the teleprompter was shot, glass exploded, and Trump got hit by a piece of glass. | ||
| Would that be any better? | ||
| Well, they don't want you to be able to say Trump was shot and survived. | ||
| They want you to say, I got hit by debris. | ||
| It wasn't that bad. | ||
| It's absolutely remarkable that these are the positions that they're taking, but unsurprising. | ||
| If you look at the photos, you can see the teleprompter is not broken. | ||
| There's no flying glass everywhere. | ||
| Trump got shot. | ||
| One of my favorite, uh, bits of this. | ||
| Actually, I should see if I can pull this up. | ||
| Because, uh... It's fairly obvious these people do not understand what a bullet is. | ||
| They really, really don't. | ||
| I'm gonna scroll through my Twitter real quick and see if I can find this. | ||
| If I can't find it, uh... Let's see, uh... | ||
| Let's see if we can find the post here. | ||
| They're posting full rifles, rifle rounds, sorry, cartridge and everything, and saying, there's no way that this injured his ear in this way. | ||
| Because they don't understand that a cartridge is not a bullet. | ||
| So I think, uh... | ||
| I think I might have this here, but it's not letting me... There we go. | ||
| We gotcha. | ||
| We got ya. | ||
| Here's the post. | ||
| Liberal Lisa in Oklahoma. | ||
| This image of Trump was taken today. | ||
| There is absolutely nothing wrong with his ear and it has zero damage from a bullet. | ||
| Everything about Trump is a con or a grift with 1.6 million views. | ||
| And how many responses? | ||
| 1.9 thousand replies, 6.6 thousand retweets, reposts. | ||

|
Uh-oh. | |
| Readers added context they thought people might want to know. | ||
| The photo was taken September 17th, 2022. | ||
| They're lying. | ||
| It's a cult. | ||
| This guy who's saying, you know, the bandage isn't real. | ||
| I jumped. | ||
| Oh, it's over here. | ||
| It's a cult. | ||
| They cannot accept that they live, that the world is not as they believed it to be. | ||
| Trump was a coward! | ||
| He should have run and hid! | ||
| They can't accept that they're wrong and they live in a fictitious reality. | ||
| Let me see if I can, I mean, here you go, Reddit Libertarian. | ||
| The picture is from 2022. | ||
| Let me see if, uh, engagement lies, lies. | ||
| Let me see if I can find the bullet post. | ||
| That's on this one. | ||
| It's, uh, It's too many. | ||
| Too many posts. | ||
| Maybe, uh... Look at this. | ||
| Another person. | ||
| President Trump regrets to inform his followers he forgot to put the medical gauze bandage back on his right ear. | ||
| Look how they're lying! | ||
| And making this up. | ||
| Claiming he either wasn't shot, or that this picture from a long time ago is a picture from yesterday. | ||
| Oh man, where's the... Perhaps the photo of the bullet was deleted because the person was so embarrassed. | ||
| I really do think that's very likely. | ||
| They posted a picture of an AK round, 7.62x39, I believe. | ||
| And said, how could this round have made such a small mark on his face? | ||
| Because they don't understand that, you know, bullets are not the cartridge. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| GOP Jesus says, President Trump regrets to inform his followers he forgot to put the medical gauze bandage back on his right ear that was shredded by the assassin's bullet. | ||
| He apologizes for exposing his followers and the TV audience to that gruesome wound, but said that for him the wound is not just not big a deal because of his heroic toughness. | ||
| So I don't know if this is meant to be a manipulation or whatever it is. | ||
| But this is the reaction from the left. | ||
| And there's a reason why I highlight this in the context of everything else. | ||
| This is where we are currently at. | ||
| The breakdown is happening in real time. | ||
| Trump's prediction market numbers are surging, which I'll go over in the next segment. | ||
| These CNN apologizing for the way they're speaking. | ||
| The jokes don't fly anymore. | ||
| We have finally broken the dam. | ||
| The Democrats can no longer make these jokes. | ||
| Now, to be fair, Katharine Griffin did get fired from her New Year's CNN thing for posting that Donald Trump bloody head. | ||
| But Kyle Gass, Tenacious D, they think they can say these things because they've been allowed to. | ||
| Because if you go back, I think it was 2019 when I was on Joe Rogan with Vijaya Ghate. | ||
| It's a long time ago now, huh? | ||
| And they were saying that, you know, when I showed them Antifa posting calling for violence and they were like, well, we don't know about these things. | ||
| That's not true. | ||
| Several responses to the post had been deleted, but the post itself was allowed to remain. | ||
| And they say, oh, I don't know. | ||
| They allowed it. | ||
| They allowed it the whole time. | ||
| And now they can't. | ||
| Some people are pointing out that GOP Jesus is a parody account. | ||
| That's why I said I think this is intended to be a joke or whatever. | ||
| But you can see that these other people, and this is not the only account, Liberal Lisa in Oklahoma, they have been posting these things. | ||
| Let me see if this one, uh... Yeah, I don't know, that's a block. | ||
| There was a viral post of the bullet. | ||
| I thought it would be funny to bring up, but it's not here, so it must have been deleted or I just can't see it. | ||
| But this is the game that's being played right now. | ||
| You know, I talked to friends and family members and I talked to strangers. | ||
| I mentioned this a couple weeks ago at the Snyder Supreme Court ruling, I think it was, where they said that there's a difference between bribery and gratuity in statutory law. | ||
| Gratuity, illegal gratuity, is payment for an official act that is given after the official act is completed. | ||
| And bribery is payment for an official act where payment is given before the official act is completed. | ||
| And typically we're familiar with bribery. | ||
| Someone gives the money to the guy and says, vote the way I want you to vote. | ||
| Gratuity would be, after the guy votes, they say, you did good. | ||
| Kick him back some money. | ||
| I'm sitting at a poker table in West Virginia, Charlestown Races, and the guy to my left says, jokingly, he wins some money in the poker hand and says, now I can use this to bribe the cop when he pulls me over because it's not a bribe, it's a gratuity. | ||
| I'm just giving him a tip when he doesn't ticket me. | ||
| And I was like, that sounds like something MSNBC reported. | ||
| He points out like the Supreme Court just said you can give a bribe so long as you give it after the fact. | ||
| And I was like, actually the Supreme Court said the opposite. | ||
| Kavanaugh's opinion was that you cannot engage in illicit gratuity or illicit bribery, but that the government had wrongly charged a man under the wrong statute, which opens up a defense where someone might claim it was a gratuity, not a bribe, and therefore they can be released. | ||
| So no, you can't do it. | ||
| He says you got to charge him under the appropriate statute. | ||
| And he was like, oh, well, you know, that was just what one of the Democrats was saying. | ||
| And I'm like, Isn't that it? | ||
| That's what they do. | ||
| The Democrats will mislead you. | ||
| And they will lie to you. | ||
| Because they want you to live in their bubble reality, where they control you and you give them your money, your resources, your power. | ||
| There was a viral post that was sent to me far and wide of a woman showing showing herself with short dyed hair, holding up a No Trump sign. | ||
| And she said that she was this progressive leftist. | ||
| She didn't know much about Trump. | ||
| She said she hated him. | ||
| And then she saw the interview I did with him and realized she was being lied to. | ||
| She literally cited my name and people were tagging me in it. | ||
| And I'm grateful for the opportunity to interview Donald Trump, to ask him these questions around Julian Assange and who great, great. | ||
| I'm grateful that he's out. | ||
| But, you know, certainly wasn't under Donald Trump. | ||
| But about North Korea and foreign policy, and I felt like the North Korea story wasn't getting enough attention. | ||
| Even the libertarians at the LNC were like, that was awesome because that was one of the most important things he did. | ||
| He tried to bring peace to the Korean peninsula. | ||
| And that is... I told Trump he's the greatest president of my lifetime. | ||
| It's not saying much. | ||
| It's only a handful. | ||
| Trump liked it though. | ||
| He loves to hear the compliments. | ||
| But he deserves it. | ||
| Because his efforts to try and bring peace to the Korean Peninsula is one of the most significant and impactful moves made by an American leader in my lifetime and maybe even in the past 50 years. | ||
| You look at the wars. | ||
| You look at Vietnam, the Korean War. | ||
| Trump tried to put an end to that war. | ||
| He crossed the DMZ into North Korea with no security detail. | ||
| They want to lie to you. | ||
| They don't want you to know he did that. | ||
| They want to tell you he's a bumbling moron. | ||
| That he's suffering from dementia. | ||
| They lie. | ||
| They lie about everything. | ||
| Trump is an old man. | ||
| I prefer someone younger. | ||
| He's gonna get four more years. | ||
| I'll take it. | ||
| If he can engage in more peace deals and moves like he did with North Korea, I will take it. | ||
| Was he perfect? | ||
| No. | ||
| Did he have bad foreign policy? | ||
| He certainly did, but his foreign policy was a slight net benefit. | ||
| They say, I'm going to vote for Biden because he's the lesser of two evils. | ||
| I never vote for the lesser of two evils. | ||
| I didn't vote for Trump in 2016 because I did not believe in him. | ||
| And then 2020 came around and I looked at everything we had seen thus far and I said, I would not be honest if I said I wouldn't vote for this man. | ||
| With DEI, with the illegal actions taken at the federal level, Trump is shutting these things down. | ||
| They're trying to put race-based policies in the executive office. | ||
| Trump's trying to get our troops out of the Middle East. | ||
| Trump's trying to bring peace to North Korea. | ||
| Certainly there were drone strikes and commando raids, but I see a net positive here. | ||
| Let's give him another shot at this one. | ||
| He made mistakes, he made a lot of them, he hired bad people, but let's give him another shot at this one. | ||
| 2019, a great economy. | ||
| And they lied every step of the way. | ||
| And now that Donald Trump has survived an assassination attempt, his polls are skyrocketing. | ||
| The prediction odds jumped dramatically. | ||
| He's going to win. | ||
| Liberals are saying he's going to win. | ||
| He showed strength and defiance when he was shot. | ||
| He's helped raise with this fundraiser that's being pushed across the board, but that, you know, authorized by Trump. | ||
| And rumor is he'll be at the funeral for Corey Comptor. | ||
| He is doing what he has to do. | ||
| He's quite literally taken a bullet for this country and for you. | ||
| And they don't want you to know. | ||
| Because how do you win an election against a man who took a bullet for you? | ||
| He got shot in the ear. | ||
| The shooter wasn't aiming for center mass, he was aiming for Trump's head. | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| Some have suggested Trump actually did get shot, but he was wearing concealed level 4 armor. | ||
| Possible. | ||
| Maybe ceramic plate? | ||
| Light flexible rifle armor systems? | ||
| Perhaps. | ||
| But, you know? | ||
| I'll leave it there. | ||
| This is the importance of media and culture, and why it matters that we win this culture war. | ||

| I wish I had seen this. | ||
| It looks like this from two hours ago. | ||
| So it went up just before as I was preparing this show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| It went up just a couple hours ago. | ||
| Kyle Gass says the line I improvised on stage Sunday night in Sydney was highly inappropriate, dangerous, and a terrible mistake. | ||
| I don't condone violence of any kind in any form against anyone. | ||
| What happened was a tragedy and I'm incredibly sorry for my severe lack of judgment. | ||
| I profoundly apologize to though I've let down and truly regret any pain I've caused. | ||
| Jack, bring the tour back. | ||
| Bring the tour back. | ||
| Don't cancel the tour. | ||
| Tenacious D is a fun, funny band. | ||
| They're silly guys. | ||
| Jack Black is a Biden supporter. | ||
| He's allowed to be. | ||
| This is the world we want to live in, where Jack Black can make his silly and disturbing Captain America video where he supports Joe Biden, where he can go to the fundraisers, and we can laugh at his funny jokes and the Kung Fu Panda movies, and we can just realize that we don't all agree, but we are family, friends, and America first. | ||
| Kyle Gass apologizing is exactly what we hoped for, a direct apology, it was the right move, and I hope Jack Black brings back the show. | ||
| Bring back that tour. | ||
| I respect and appreciate that. | ||
| I wish I grabbed this earlier, I wish I'd seen it. | ||
| Two hours ago, I was pulling up all the sources from the show, I was reading the news, and... | ||
| That's a tight, that's a tight time frame from reading all the news and fact-checking and pulling up. | ||
| I should have pulled up his Instagram. | ||
| I didn't think to do it. | ||
| That's my mistake, but we got it for you here. | ||
| Kyle, you're a good dude. | ||
| I respect this. | ||
| He improvised a line. | ||
| He thought he was being edgy. | ||
| I respect the move tremendously, and I like that we are in an era now where people will not tolerate these kinds of jokes about death and destruction. | ||
| I do. | ||
| To all the people who are saying, no, it's not genuine, you guys are wrong. | ||
| Listen, I always cite Joey Salads in this regard and an important lesson that I learned back in 2017. | ||
| Joey Salads famously, as most of you know, he was making viral videos on YouTube and he made a video where he was like, I'm gonna park a car with Trump stickers all over it in this black, in this poor area and see what happens. | ||
| And then the next clip is a bunch of black men smashing the car up. | ||
| Someone filmed it from the apartment complex. | ||
| Joey staged the whole thing. | ||
| Everybody attacked him. | ||
| They said, how could you? | ||
| It's evil, it's despicable, and all of that is true. | ||
| I was in Sweden, and Joey Salads hit me up saying he wanted to meet up, and I was like, screw you! | ||
| I was like, bro, you are worse than the fake news. | ||
| I got a couple messages from people saying that I was wrong, that Joey was a good guy who made a mistake. | ||
| And it wasn't so much that they said that that convinced me. | ||
| It was that I realized, these guys online, who like Joey Salads, are not bad guys. | ||
| I don't know if they're right or wrong about Joey, but I can tell you this. | ||
| They like him. | ||
| And that means they're influenced by him. | ||
| And that means if Joey is asking for redemption, we have to give it to him. | ||
| Because if you don't, there's only one other path he can go down. | ||
| If Joey is doing bad things, and we say, screw you, you will never be welcome here again, he says, then I have but one direction to go. | ||
| But if we say, dude, we accept your apology, come to the light, join the light side, they will! | ||
| What does Joey do now? | ||
| Joey runs marketing companies, and he produces videos about pranks on his girlfriend that are silly, and it is a bit hokey, but it's good. | ||
| Imagine if he was pushed in the other direction. | ||
| Kyle Gass... | ||
| Choosing to apologize shows two things. | ||
| One, we are winning the culture war. | ||
| And they know they cannot make these jokes. | ||
| And now everyone will recognize two things. | ||
| So it shows us that. | ||
| It shows us that they can't make these jokes. | ||
| It shows us we're winning in two ways. | ||
| The jokes don't work, you get the backlash, but also that you have to apologize. | ||
| You have to. | ||
| Normally they would just ignore us, right? | ||
| Other people will see two things. | ||
| They will see Kyle Gass apologizing. | ||
| Setting the tone for how we must behave. | ||
| The second is, if we accept that apology, they will see that you don't say these things! | ||
| And apologizing and aligning with our morals and values is the path to success. | ||
| That's the message we want. | ||
| I want the news to be three months from now, Jack Black and Kyle Gass make 10 million dollars on Spicy Meatball Tour after apologizing for negative comments. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because then Jack Black and Kyle Gass are gonna be laughing and giddy with piles of cash being like, when we do the right thing we get rewarded! | ||
| Then they go out publicly and say, we learned something really important guys, doing the right thing pays off! | ||
| You should all do the right thing too! | ||
| Vengeance for the sake of vengeance, to cause suffering for wrongs, doesn't work out the way you think it will. | ||
| In some circumstances, it's appropriate. | ||
| But for a doofy moron who thinks it's culturally and socially acceptable to say these things on stage, it's not. | ||
| And for him to apologize, the next step is to now reward the apology. | ||
| Without being a little too crass and crude, not to demean or diminish the humanity of these individuals, I simply look to dog training. | ||
| When the dog sits, you give him the treat. | ||
| When the dog sniffs out, when they're training dogs to do search and rescue, they give them treats. | ||
| The dog wants to be rewarded. | ||
| And so the dog is sniffing, trying to find the person, finds the person, gets really excited, and they say, here you go, you get a cookie. | ||
| It's not as simple for humans because there's much deeper social entanglements. | ||
| But we want to say that good behavior is rewarded and bad behavior is punished. | ||
| The bad behavior was punished. | ||
| There was a backlash. | ||
| They were scared. | ||
| They've apologized. | ||
| That's good behavior that should be rewarded. | ||
| Not all people are worthy of redemption. | ||
| Some crimes are so egregious we lock these people up forever. | ||
| But saying a naughty joke, an appropriate joke, we cannot be the people who reject If we tell Kyle Gass your apology will not be accepted, then what's he gonna do? | ||
| He's gonna double down to all of his fans and it's gonna make everything worse. | ||
| But I tell you this, this is us winning. | ||
| This is him asking us for forgiveness. | ||
| And you may say, but Tim, it's not sincere. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| This man has just gotten on his knees in public and said, please forgive me. | ||
| Now, I want people to see What you must do when you engage in this kind of behavior. | ||
| You must apologize. | ||
| People don't want to be in that position. | ||
| But I also want them to see something else. | ||
| A magnanimous society. | ||
| A good people. | ||
| A people who will tell them, we want you to be better. | ||
| And you've done that. | ||
| Make sure there's always a path to redemption, otherwise people will go dark. | ||
| Let's read some more Super Chats. | ||
| And then we'll, uh, we'll talk about Trump's polling. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| More Super Chats! | ||
| So thank you for Super Chatting me that, letting me know that he had apologized. | ||
| Tethered Shield says, I got a playmat where I turned you, Ian, and a couple others into Magic the Gathering goblins. | ||
| Oh, come on! | ||
| It's my favorite mat and I think you would find it funny. | ||
| What do I gotta do to get it to you and Ian to sign it? | ||
| Follow Ian Crossland on X and send him a message. | ||
| It's usually the easiest way. | ||
| Noah Sanders says, were y'all able to donate to the victim's family? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Indeed! | |
| So I sent $10,000 to the fundraiser for the Comprators, and yesterday morning I had talked about potentially doing a match. | ||
| If I said something like, on IRL we'll match all the superchats and whatever you give, the reason why I decided against that, twofold, and I'll be completely honest, first, Well, I was talking to the crew, and I said, my concern actually is that when I do that, 35% goes to YouTube. | ||
| And so I'm telling everybody, give to me instead of the family, and then I'll give to the family. | ||
| And it's like, matching is good, but then we're talking about 35% being cut from what they would actually give. | ||
| If y'all got 100 bucks to give to the family's victim fund, you give it right to them, they get 100 bucks. | ||
| You super chat it, they get 65. | ||
| And then I could put money on top, and so I did. | ||
| So we got 3,500 in Super Chats from people who expected it to go to the family. | ||
| I did not promote it that way, but then I donated a total of 10,000. | ||
| The second reason is the budget. | ||
| I was hoping we could do 25. | ||
| In fact, we can't do 25. | ||
| You may not have noticed, but the economy ain't so good under Joe Biden. | ||
| You may have also noticed we've picked up some more sponsors because we're trying to operate properly. | ||
| And so while we certainly do have resources and we're doing well, planning for the future and for next year is extremely important. | ||
| So I allotted what I thought I could and made that donation. | ||
| So I put $6,500 on top of all of your Super Chats. | ||
| It's not as big as I'd like it to have been, but the important thing that I'm considering right now too is the year after an election cycle usually has depressed revenue. | ||
| And based on the numbers we've seen under Joe Biden, if I'm not so stupid to make a bet that Trump just wins, though I think he will. | ||
| If Trump wins, I think the economy will improve, the market will improve, and we're gonna see tremendous gains right away, which will help the business grow. | ||
| And that is, when the small businesses succeed, they generate more revenue, they buy more ads. | ||
| Good thing. | ||
| However, I can't risk the, uh... | ||
| The lives of our employees and their income on Donald Trump winning. | ||
| In the event Joe Biden wins, I think next year is going to be apocalyptic in terms of revenue for the media industry because political news channels make their best money on election years and their worst right after a presidential cycle because everyone's burned out and the money's not being spent anymore. | ||
| Although this year's been really weird with ad spending in politicians, mind you. | ||
| It's been low. | ||
| The economy's been depressed. | ||
| So we allot basically, like, what are we gonna need for next year in the event we do see this downturn? | ||
| We have to save everything we can. | ||
| So, there you go, there's the transparent, everything, you know? | ||
| Alright, FireDog says this is MAGA Month, and the 4th is Freedom Day, but the 13th should now be known as MAGA Day. | ||
| I'm so down. | ||
| Joe Biden almost said, make America great again. | ||
| Did you guys see that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Marco says, I wore my Trump hat to work yesterday. | ||
| Got mostly positive responses. | ||
| And these are Teamster guys. | ||
| I think my fellow Teamsters are Trump for sure. | ||
| Dude, I would love to hear it. | ||
| I'm hearing all these stories of people walking around in liberal cities wearing Trump hats now after they attacked him. | ||
| I say this to you, my friends. | ||
| If Donald Trump can take a bullet and then, within a day, stand up and show up at the convention with a smile on his face, y'all can wear a hat. | ||
| Y'all can go out and take the time to vote for him. | ||
| I hope this animates people the way we expect it to. | ||
| I really, really do. | ||
| Nick C says, yoked Nick from FitCast IRL on X, whether it's skateboarding, weightlifting, walking. | ||
| We welcome all people. | ||
| We must become a stronger, healthier, and less angry nation. | ||
| We love and support TimCast. | ||
| You guys rock. | ||
| I'll say it simply. | ||
| If you don't know what to do or where to begin to make the world a better place, start with yourself. | ||
| Jordan Peterson said, find the heaviest thing that you can carry and carry it. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| But literally. | ||
| He may have been thinking like, take on responsibility. | ||
| I agree with that too, but I'm saying, Lift! | ||
| Exercise! | ||
| I've been skateboarding pretty intensely, been burning an additional 900 to 2000 calories per day, taking that exercise seriously and trying to be a better version of myself. | ||
| And if everybody who cared about this country was a better version of themselves, they'd think sharper, they'd live longer, they'd have more kids, they'd be happier and healthier, and we would all succeed from that. | ||
| Alright, we'll, uh... Well, let's jump to this next story. | ||
| Here we go, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| From real clear polling following the attempt on Donald Trump's life, the betting averages for Donald Trump have jumped through the roof. | ||
| I don't know, through the roof. | ||
| They're up 49.1. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| If we go back in time. | ||
| To, uh, what is it? | ||
| DeSantis was at 35% going back. | ||
| Uh, here we go. | ||
| January 9th, 2023. | ||
| Can you believe it? | ||
| A year and a half ago, Donald Trump was at 14% in the betting odds. | ||
| And today he's at what number there was 66.8. | ||
| Joe Biden has tanked following the get Joe Biden out. | ||
| Kamala Harris has tanked. | ||
| Biden went up a little bit, but following the attempt on Donald Trump's life, he has jumped 10 points in the betting odds. | ||
| What we are seeing from the polls, not too big of a shift just yet, but we can expect in the next day or two, Donald Trump's polling averages are going to skyrocket. | ||
| The betting averages predict beforehand because the betting averages are based on people right now with money saying, here's what I expect to happen. | ||
| These same people, many of them, who will be answering polls later on are going to give those answers. | ||
| Now, Frank Luntz, the famous pollster, said... Actually, maybe I should pull this one up. | ||
| Let me see if I can pull up... I think it's in here. | ||
| Let's get it. | ||
| Maybe they'll let me read their article from the Daily Beast. | ||
| All right, we got this from the Daily Beast. | ||
| The assassination attempt will boost Trump enough to win the election. | ||
| That's it? | ||
| Frank Luntz predicts the assassination attempt will push Trump's turnout by one or two percent. | ||
| We're seeing it. | ||
| We're seeing the betting odds surge. | ||
| And I believe that once we get the raw data, we are going to see Trump surge. | ||
| Because right now, look at this. | ||
| 2024 general election, Trump versus Biden from real clear polling, aggregate polling, Fox, NBC, Morning Console, Rasmussen, NPR, Emerson. | ||
| None of these. | ||
| None of these. | ||
| Have broached the assassination day. | ||
| I can say that Morning Consult has a little bit. | ||
| 11,320 registered voters and it's from the 12th to the 14th. | ||
| Trump is up two points. | ||
| I expect there's a strong probability that by tomorrow By next week, we will see Trump up maybe 4 or 5 points in aggregate. | ||
| He's already up 2.7. | ||
| I'm not talking about a major swing. | ||
| I'm saying he's going to gain a point. | ||
| Frank Luntz says 1 to 2. | ||
| I am aligned with where he's at on this one. | ||
| Maybe we'll see more. | ||
| Take a look at this. | ||
| July 16, 2020, Biden was plus 8.6 against Donald Trump. | ||
| Hillary Clinton in 2016 was plus 2.7. | ||
| From the Daily Beast, Republican pollster Frank Luntz predicts that the assassination attempt that left President Trump bleeding after ripping a chunk of his ear off will likely boost his supporters' turnout on Election Day. | ||
| I think it's important that we all recognize that we're at the breaking point right now, Luntz said during an interview with BBC politics presenter Laura Koonsberg on Sunday. | ||
| Koonsberg? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Luntz predicted that the attempt would boost turnout for Trump by one to two percent, particularly in Pennsylvania, the crucial swing state where the Trump rally took place Saturday. | ||
| I'm going to pull up 270 to win as well so we can get the interactive breakdown and I can go over the numbers as they currently are because that map's not correct. | ||
| Luntz told Kensberg that the newfound intensity of Trump supporters' motivation to vote could make a difference in the November election, comparing it to the political reaction American Democrats had in 2020 after George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police officers. | ||
| Luntz added that the effect of the Trump shooting on November's election is important, but that the re-emergence of political violence on a president not seen since Reagan was shot in the 80s will have a much greater impact on the future of American politics. | ||
| I'm thinking about the next generation, one said. | ||
| We need to look beyond traditional partisanship to our country and its future and the legacy that we are creating right now for our children and grandchildren. | ||
| I think Frank's right. | ||
| Whether you're a pollster or not, what we're already seeing is that Nevada and Arizona are already leaning Trump. | ||
| If Pennsylvania goes Trump afterwards, and Trump loses Wisconsin and Michigan, Trump wins. | ||
| 287 electoral votes, based on the current trends we're seeing right now. | ||
| Look, they've even got Georgia and North Carolina as likely Republican. | ||
| That's incredible. | ||
| I'm gonna pull up some more data from Wikipedia, things I hadn't actually pulled up before, but I want to pull these up. | ||
| Reagan's election. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Let's take a look at Reagan's election, because y'all have seen this! | ||
|
unidentified
|
1984. | |
| There were only two jurisdictions. | ||
| There was only one state. | ||
| It was D.C. | ||
| that went Mondale, and it was Minnesota that went Mondale. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oof! | |
| Must be embarrassing for Minnesota! | ||
| Voting for Mondale when the entire country was aligned in the other direction. | ||
| Now the question I have is... I'll pull this one up. | ||
| Many people are saying that Donald Trump is going to win because of it. | ||
| Well, on March 30th, 1981, Ronald Reagan was shot and wounded by John Hinckley Jr. | ||
| in D.C. | ||
| as he was returning to his limousine after speaking at an engagement at the Washington Hilton. | ||
| Hinckley believed the attack would impress actress Jodie Foster, with whom he had developed an erotomatic obsession after watching the film Taxi Driver. | ||
| Nut job! | ||
| Now hold on. | ||
| This is years before, right? | ||
| We're talking a three year gap, effectively. | ||
| But a lot of people believe that the attack on Trump's life will result in an election of this magnitude. | ||
| I don't know that I believe it, but I'll tell you this. | ||
| Let's play a game. | ||
| Let's say Nevada and Arizona, those already moved towards Donald Trump a while ago, well before the assassination. | ||
| Georgia and North Carolina, PA, Wisconsin, and Michigan may have already leaned in that direction. | ||
| But let's say with J.D. | ||
| Vance on board, the Rust Belt moderates have decided, you know what? | ||
| I'm gonna vote for Trump. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| I'm voting for Trump. | ||
| And let's suggest that the lean Democrat states, they're no longer lean. | ||
| They're now toss-ups. | ||
| Let's say that Minnesota and New Hampshire went toss-up before the assassination attempt. | ||
| What we had seen was with Joe Biden's collapse and the campaign to remove him, states like Nevada and Arizona had shifted from toss-up to lean Republican. | ||
| Now, 2701 doesn't recognize this, but what if that was true before the assassination attempt? | ||
| New York was not safe. | ||
| They say likely Democrat. | ||
| No, it's lean Democrat. | ||
| Trump is within eight points of Joe Biden in New York. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let me tell you something. | |
| Let's do this. | ||
| Let's do this. | ||
| AOC Ballotpedia. | ||
| I keep pulling new things up, but I think this exemplifies things pretty well. | ||
| AOC's election. | ||
| I'm going to explain why Trump could win New York. | ||
| I don't, I don't think he will. | ||
| I don't think he will, but it's on the table. | ||
| It's on the table. | ||
| New York's 14th congressional, uh, congressional district election 2024. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, let's see it. | |
| So, in the primary, AOC won 18,863 votes. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| And that meant when it went to the general, she basically just won. | ||
| Incumbent AOC and Tina Forte running in the general election for, uh... Oh, I'm sorry, this is 2024, so it's not yet happened yet. | ||
| I need to go back to 2022. | ||
| That's my bad. | ||
| I thought I was looking at... I forgot I wasn't looking at 2022. | ||
| This is what we want to look at. | ||
| AOC won with 82,000 votes in a district of 775,000 people. | ||
| Tina Forte got 31,935 votes. | ||
| AOC could lose. | ||
| I don't think she will lose, but she could lose. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| If the assassination attempt on Donald Trump really does make Trump supporters become Trump voters, You know you have about 150,000 Trump supporters, Republicans, in AOC's district. | ||
| They just don't vote. | ||
| If they all went out and voted, AOC would lose. | ||
| But they don't vote. | ||
| This might change that. | ||
| Tina Forte needed 50,000 votes to beat AOC in a district of 775,000. | ||
| The total turnout was only about a hundred and... It was 116,000. | ||
| A seventh of the population actually bothered to vote. | ||
| Imagine, in this district, which I believe has about 150,000, it could have more. | ||
| It could have more. | ||
| Let me see if they break down the voter registration for us. | ||
| Tina Forte won the primary for the Republicans with only 1,608 votes. | ||
| That's remarkable. | ||
| In 2020, AOC won with 152,000 votes to the Republicans, 58,000. | ||
| In 2020, AOC won with 152,000 votes to the Republicans 58,000. | ||
| You understand this? | ||
| AOC likely, because it's a presidential election, will get around 150k this time around. | ||
| But the down-ballot reaction to a failing Joe Biden may seriously harm her. | ||
| She may actually end up just seeing something like $130k. | ||
| If every single conservative in her district voted, they'd win. | ||
| And that's what matters. | ||
| So let's go back to $270k to win. | ||
| And we'll take a look at New Hampshire. | ||
| Let's say New Hampshire goes red, Minnesota goes red. | ||
| Trump's looking at 326. | ||
| If the swing states and the likely Democrat states go red, but why would Virginia go blue? | ||
| Loudoun County, perhaps? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's just say, let's say this. | |
| The attack on Donald Trump will generate an eight-point swing. | ||
| If that's the case, Trump wins New York. | ||
| Trump wins Virginia. | ||
| Trump wins Illinois. | ||
| Trump wins Colorado. | ||
| Trump wins New Mexico. | ||
| Trump wins Oregon. | ||
| Trump wins Maine. | ||
| I don't know that that's actually true. | ||
| Trump is within striking distance even in New Jersey. | ||
| I don't know that it's true. | ||
| And it's a hypothetical to say he gets a 10 point, 8 point jump because of the assassination attempt. | ||
| But I'm just saying, my friends, y'all need to go out and vote. | ||
| Because if- Man. | ||
| If Donald Trump gets elected to the presidency, but Democrats take Congress- Let's pull up the congressional map. | ||
| 270 to Winston- House map. | ||
| Look at this, so right now they're projecting 209 Republicans, likely, 201 Democrats, with 25 toss-ups. | ||
| If Democrats take Congress, Trump will be impeached on day one. | ||
| If they have the House and the Senate, Well, they'll need a supermajority in the Senate, but they will impeach him on day one. | ||
| They will subpoena his staff. | ||
| They will prevent him from doing anything. | ||
| In order for Trump to actually win, he needs to win all of Congress. | ||
| Could you imagine? | ||
| After November, Donald Trump winning with a supermajority. | ||
| Now, my friends, many people have said, what's going to happen? | ||
| And Richard Spencer, Uh, came on the Culture War podcast with me and Andrew Wilson. | ||
| We're having this debate. | ||
| And he said, certainly, nobody knows what's going to happen. | ||
| Nobody will accept the results. | ||
| I said, I completely agree. | ||
| And I fear this will cause breakdown. | ||
| Now, that being said, as I have feared social order, breakdown, conflict, crisis, et cetera, to whatever form it may take, I have always been sure to mention, we don't know the variables. | ||
| We don't know what will happen. | ||
| We still don't. | ||
| It's likely that the attack on Donald Trump will only fan the flames and make things substantially worse, and for that, I'm worried. | ||
| It's also possible that they could calm things down. | ||
| The shift in favor of Donald Trump, regular people, I tell you this, man, because you guys know it, the reaction is generally like, I don't like Donald Trump, but dude, this is way too far for me. | ||
| Nobody wants to be the party of going and assassinating a guy. | ||
| They just don't like him because the media told them not to. | ||
| But now there's an angry mob, there's violence, assassinations, people are going to be like, leave me out of it. | ||
| If those people bow out and every Trump supporter votes, oh, it is a landslide. | ||
| But we can't predict that. | ||
| We don't know. | ||
| I think because of the attack on Donald Trump and his survival, we may be looking at a substantial win for Republicans. | ||
| We're only four months out. | ||
| We got this, uh, Kevin Heikert superchatted. | ||
| My gay cousin and his husband reached out yesterday to say they're voting Trump now. | ||
| It's huge because they hate him and cut ties with me in 2016. | ||
| Wow! | ||
| I've had family members do! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I've had family say, it's crazy, Trump's bad. | ||
| Now, uh, I've had, you know, they're not saying outright that they're supporting Trump. | ||
| They're just now accepting what's real. | ||
| And I say that's, that's a huge success. | ||
| A huge success. | ||
| So I like that this is happening. | ||
| I want to stress something real too for all of you guys that are watching live. | ||
| This channel is shadow banned on Google. | ||
| It is very difficult to find. | ||
| So if you like the show, share it. | ||
| Seriously, if you take the title of any of my videos on this channel and Google it, it won't come up. | ||
| Google will not even promote its own IP because it's me hosting a show. | ||
| Come on Google, what's the big deal? | ||
| What's the big idea here, shadow banning me? | ||
| So I'll say this, I'll wrap up this segment. | ||
| Let's keep it real. | ||
| I don't know that Trump gains 8 points. | ||
| It's 1 to 2 according to Frank Luntz. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| Fair point. | ||
| 1 to 2. | ||
| But 1 to 2 means Trump does win the election. | ||
| It means he wins the presidency. | ||
| Does it mean he will win Congress? | ||
| That we don't know. | ||
| If we shift the toss-ups in his direction, then, uh, well, yeah. | ||
| Republicans take Congress. | ||
| I tell you the problem, though, is we got these rhino Republicans across the board that They're going to vote to sabotage Trump? | ||
| No question. | ||
| We need everybody to go vote. | ||
| If Donald Trump can take a bullet for you, you can spend the time to go out and cast a vote for him. | ||
| For those of you that really believe in it, for those of you that are truly grateful to the sacrifice of Cory Komprator and the other victims who are in serious condition, If Donald Trump can take a bullet for you, you can knock on doors and advocate for him. | ||
| Come on, man. | ||
| Trump is not a saint. | ||
| Trump is not God Emperor. | ||
| Trump is not a holy angel. | ||
| He is a guy. | ||
| He likes to go around and talk about what he wants for this country. | ||
| He had a first term where he did some bad things, but he did mostly good things. | ||
| We can criticize those bad things because we are reasonable people. | ||
| And we can accept that we liked a lot of his foreign policy, although we disagree with some of it. | ||
| But ultimately it was a movement toward peace. | ||
| We can appreciate the Abraham Accords, we can appreciate the strong economy, and that a businessman was cutting deals that resulted in no new wars, in a boosted economy for this country. | ||
| Good things. | ||
| Telling NATO and these other countries, pay your fair share, we're covering your defense. | ||
| Why? | ||
| This man held a rally. | ||
| When he should be on a yacht in the Mediterranean, sipping on coconuts and eating shrimps in cocktail sauce and driving golf balls off the back into the ocean and just laughing about how rich he is. | ||
| That's the life he should be living, right? | ||
| Instead, he wants to get up and say, we're going to save this country. | ||
| We're going to make America great again. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| He worked on it in his first term. | ||
| He didn't just say it. | ||
| He really tried and he did some good things. | ||
| This man in a rally got shot in the head. | ||
| Fortunately, just the ear. | ||
| But I like pointing that out. | ||
| It was a bullet to the head that nearly killed the man. | ||
| And a day later, he's at the RNC convention, alongside his VP pick, doing his job. | ||
| And I also think it's important we shout out Don Jr., Eric, and the rest of the Trump family, because these guys are, you know, Eric said he's watching on the TV. | ||
| His dad nearly died. | ||
| I could not imagine what it must be like for this family undergoing this onslaught of lies and manipulation, and then attempts on the life of their father, and a day later, Eric and Don Jr. | ||
| are working! | ||
| Bravo! | ||
| These dudes, you guys rock! | ||
| I love it. | ||
| Don Jr. | ||
| had that epic takedown of the corporate press on the floor of the RNC saying, get out of here, just go away, you liars! | ||
| He's like, it's not even been a day and we knew you'd be lying. | ||
| I respect it. | ||
| Tremendously. | ||
| Absolute respect. | ||
| It's not just Donald Trump. | ||
| Certainly the man survived a bullet and then got right back to work. | ||
| He played golf the next day! | ||
| Dude, so great, so great. | ||
| But Don Jr. | ||
| and Eric, right there, at the RNC, after their dad nearly died, no time off, no time to rest. | ||
| You've gotta get the job done. | ||
| If these guys can do that. | ||
| If Don Jr. | ||
| can watch his dad nearly die, and Eric can watch his dad nearly die, and the rest of the family too, Melania, putting out that statement, and if Donald himself can come in within a day and be like, played some golf, I'm back here at work, you can certainly get up and go vote. | ||
| And if we do, I think we're going to see some good things. | ||
| I want to stress this too. | ||
| When this man wins, and we want him to, Y'all better be poised and vigilant. | ||
| But you know why I'm so excited? | ||
| Because I know you are. | ||
| Because I watched as Laura Loomer... | ||
| The most ardent supporter of Donald Trump criticized his immigration policy pertaining to college graduates. | ||
| And that put a smile on my face. | ||
| Laura Loomer. | ||
| No one supports Trump more than her. | ||
| But Trump supporters had no problem booing him over when he promoted the vaccine at a rally. | ||
| He said, I don't agree with the mandates, but he's proud of the vaccine. | ||
| They booed him. | ||
| Trump supporters are not a cult. | ||
| They have no problem saying, we like it when you do good and you do a lot of it, but we will boo you when you do bad. | ||
| That gives me hope. | ||
| Donald Trump is being held to the fire by the people who love him most. | ||
| And Donald Trump is a man who loves to be loved. | ||
| The left comes out and they say, Donald Trump's got an ego. | ||
| He wants everyone to love him. | ||
| And I'm like, that's the greatest thing I've ever heard. | ||
| This is the last guy to betray the American people. | ||
| He's not concerned about the lobbyists and the billionaires. | ||
| He's concerned that you like him. | ||
| Donald Trump wants to walk through the park and have you say, Don, you rock, man. | ||
| And he wants to smile and be like, I do rock. | ||
| I do. | ||
| That's what he wants. | ||
| I think Trump genuinely wants good for this country. | ||
| I really do. | ||
| I think he's from here and he wants to see good things. | ||
| He's passionate. | ||
| I think Trump lives in Trump world. | ||
| He walks around and the world is what he sees. | ||
| It's just all about him and what his vision is. | ||
| It's not a bad thing. | ||
| And I think Donald Trump wants to know that you recognize the hard work that he's done and he wants your respect and admiration. | ||
| Joe Biden doesn't care about you. | ||
| Joe Biden's gonna go to the country club. | ||
| Joe Biden's gonna say things, you know, like the basket of deplorables, like Hillary Clinton did. | ||
| Donald Trump will criticize the far-left extremists and the crazies, but you know deep down, Trump wants you to love him. | ||
| And so, that's a man who's not gonna betray the American people. | ||
| I'm not so naive to believe that it's an impossibility. | ||
| And so the next safeguard is that you, the American people and Trump supporters, have actually criticized him. | ||
| And I absolutely love to see it. | ||
| I feel like we are getting what the Americans demanded for so long when I was growing up. | ||
| A president that they want and respect, who is strong, brave, who is ending these foreign wars, this debacle, working on the American economy. | ||
| Who stood defiant in the face of a bullet, and still has a base willing to boo and criticize him. | ||
| I'm like, man, look. | ||
| Trump may get in and do bad things. | ||
| It may not be what we want it to be, and we may regret some of it for sure, but right now, what we're seeing? | ||
| I don't know how you vote against this guy. | ||
| It is the best path forward we've seen in a long time. | ||
| I am wary. | ||
| I am wary. | ||
| I'm, you know, my trust can be easily lost. | ||
| But I gotta tell you, once again, shout out to Laura Loomer for calling Trump out on his immigration policy she didn't like. | ||
| I agreed with Trump on it. | ||
| Not 100% blanket statement. | ||
| We need to know the nuances of his plan. | ||
| But Laura said no, even though she loves the man. | ||
| That's incredible. | ||
| We don't see that with Democrats. | ||
| We can see it with progressives that don't like Israel, but those aren't Biden supporters. | ||
| Trump's really got a base that cares and is paying attention and is willing to say what needs to be said. | ||
| And so that means when Trump gets elected, assuming he does, and he appoints people, some bad people, we hold them to the flame. | ||
| We make sure we are as critical as we need to be when we need to be, and we will be. | ||
| And I have a feeling things are going to be generally good. | ||
| Generally. | ||
| Meaning, we'll always have something to complain about. | ||
| I'll wrap this segment up right there. | ||

| We're here at the RNC for day two. | ||
| Very excited to hang out with everybody. | ||
| We enjoyed, I had a delicious burger with a gluten-free bun. | ||
| At the Turning Point Pub or whatever it is they're calling it. | ||
| And it was fantastic. | ||
| What is it called? | ||
| New Fashioned or something. | ||
| Shout out to New Fashioned in Milwaukee. | ||
| They did a great job. | ||
| It was really, really good. | ||
| And we're having a good time here on the ground. | ||
| It's difficult. | ||
| It's expensive. | ||
| But because you guys are members, we are able to do it and we will. | ||
| And because you're members and with your Super Chats, we were also able to help contribute to the family of Corey Compratore. | ||
| And that is a man's man and what we all hope to be when the time comes. | ||
| So I'll wrap up this segment. | ||
| We'll keep the live stream going. | ||
| I got one more segment coming up for you. | ||
| Don't miss it. | ||
| And I'll jump over to Super Chats for those that are watching live. | ||
| All right, everybody, let's grab your comments. | ||
| I just saw one that went by that I wanted to read. | ||
| Let me see if I can find it. | ||
| I think I missed it. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'll read this one. | ||
| Jimmy Devine says, New York Post reports a real Black Rock ad from 2022 featuring Thomas Matthew Crooks. | ||
| It's been going around. | ||
| Heard a bit about it. | ||
| Heard a bit about it. | ||
| Don't know too much. | ||
| Don't know too much. | ||
| Cain Abel says, Judge and you shall be judged. | ||
| Read the entire chapter. | ||
| It's about being a hypocritical judge. | ||
| Don't be a hypocrite when making judgments about others. | ||
| It says in the Bible to rebuke. | ||
| You know, I wish a lot of these secular lefty types or whatever read the Bible. | ||
| Or at least met with someone who was learned on it and had a conversation about it. | ||
| Shout out to Ian Crossland. | ||
| Bro, read the Bible. | ||
| For me, it's been a really long time. | ||
| As a kid, because we had religion class, we had Bible study, we had all that. | ||
| We did Mass on Thursdays, and I think it was Thursdays. | ||
| Thursday morning Mass, when we went. | ||
| It's been a really, really long time. | ||
| But so much of our morals and our culture are based on teachings from the Bible. | ||
| It's silly to me that there are people who are like, I don't believe in God, therefore, all of these teachings are stupid and pointless, and it's just like, dude, you live by them. | ||
| Like, Bill Maher's a great example. | ||
| It's like, I don't believe in God, and I'm like, yeah, and your moral structures around free speech and the right, uh, innocent until proven guilty, these are Biblical teachings. | ||
| So, don't, you don't have to believe in God. | ||
| I would certainly say many people who do want you to, and that's fine. | ||
| I personally believe in God. | ||
| I'm just saying, like, maybe you can understand the history of your people, your culture, and your values by I think people should. | ||
| I don't know that's true. | ||
| says Jonathan Willis, the sniper that shot Crook, said he had the sniper in his sights | ||
| for three minutes and was not allowed to act. | ||
| Protect us, man. | ||
| I don't know that's true. | ||
| I know that a rumor went around with a 4chan post, which, you know, I have no idea. | ||
| Wizzer says, hey Tim, have you heard of the band Sabaton? | ||
| If not, look up the song The Last Stand. | ||
| I have certainly heard of Sabaton. | ||
| I will check that out. | ||
| Jay Coulter says, Nurses take the same oath as doctors. | ||
| Well, there you go. | ||
| There's the important point. | ||
| Alright, so I lined up a million and one segments, and I'm trying to figure out what was the next one that we had lined up. | ||
| We got all the polling stuff. | ||
| There's Polly Market. | ||
| Ah, Vivek Ramaswamy. | ||
| Maybe we need to pull up the Don Jr. | ||
| one. | ||
| Dude, Don Jr., shout out. | ||
| You're a great dude. | ||
| I gotta talk about the Trump family in this one. | ||
| And I gotta play this video for you guys. | ||
| We'll get to that one next in about three minutes. | ||
| Or, you know, in a second. | ||
| Let me just read... | ||
| Couple more superchats. | ||
| We got DJW says, Chief TDS Stephen King finally getting called out. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| JRG Project says, wrong Tim. | ||
| On Saturday, Trump became more than just a man. | ||
| Trump became a legend. | ||
| The left has thrown everything at him. | ||
| Nobody else in the public sphere has projected this amount of strength. | ||
| I want to talk about that. | ||
| Maybe I should do a segment on that. | ||
| I don't know where to begin with that segment. | ||
| I- I- I- I- I will- I will- I will- Let's- Let's do this. | ||
| I have this story here from SCNR. | ||
| Donald Trump Jr. | ||
| tells off hostile MSNBC reporter at RNC. | ||
| Just get out of here. | ||
| I expect nothing less from you clowns, even today. | ||
| I love the Trump family, man. | ||
| These guys are great. | ||
| I've hung out with Don Jr. | ||
| on a couple of occasions. | ||
| He's joined us on the show. | ||
| And the first thing I want to say in this segment is, understand, Eric and Don Jr. | ||
| and Kimberly and Laura and Melania, they had just witnessed Their friend, family member, father, uncle, brother, you know, you get my point. | ||
| Like, someone very important in their lives, and to this country, nearly die. | ||
| Stand up in defiance, raise his fist with blood. | ||
| I can only imagine what it must be like for these guys to live through a decade of onslaught, insulting, attacking, and lying about your family, and dragging you in the courts, and trying to put you in jail, and then someone tries to kill your dad, or your father-in-law, or your husband, or your grandfather, It's horrifying. | ||
| But I tell you what, it's not just Donald Trump, who a day later, or I should say the next day, playing a round of golf with a smile on his face. | ||
| Now that's badass. | ||
| But then, shows up for work on Monday? | ||
| It's like, dude, take a couple days, we're okay! | ||
| Like, you nearly died, we're okay if you take a day off! | ||
| Nah, Trump wouldn't be anywhere else. | ||
| And neither would his kids. | ||
| So Don and Eric, Kimberly, everybody, they're there working at the RNC exactly as they need to be, despite what's going on. | ||
| These people are standing up and doing what needs to be done. | ||
| And so when, uh, I think it was this Jacob Soboroff, is that what it was? | ||
| Asks Don Jr. | ||
| a question and lies. | ||
| Don just says, enough! | ||
| And roast this guy. | ||
| But I want to add to this segment. | ||
| Because I see with the hard work of this family, I love that smug look. | ||
| I love these guys. | ||
| I'm so sick of the media lies. | ||
| The Trumps are good people. | ||
| It's insane how they've mistreated this family. | ||
| And, you know, they were beloved, they were celebrities at all the parties. | ||
| But the moment Donald says, I want to be president, I want to end these wars, keep my promise to the American people, they just lie, cheat, and steal across the board. | ||
| And this is what they did. | ||
| And Don just said, no, no, enough. | ||
| But I'll tell you where I'm going with this segment. | ||
| When I see this hard work from this family, I feel inspired. | ||
| And tremendous respect for these guys. | ||
| I'm such a big fan of Don Jr., man. | ||
| I can't even begin. | ||
| And I tell you, when I think about what happened on that day, on Saturday, I say divine intervention. | ||
| I'm not a Christian. | ||
| I believe in God. | ||
| I don't need to spend two hours explaining my faith and my worldview on these things. | ||
| The real answer is I certainly think the biblical teachings, Ten Commandments and all that are important and have led us to a great and prosperous society. | ||
| I recognize, and I've had great conversations on philosophy and faith with some of my best friends who are deep, deep Christians. | ||
| As Michael Knowles referred to Seamus Coghlan, a Shiite Wahhabi Catholic. | ||
| Seamus laughed and said, Thank you! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you! | |
| Me personally, I'm not a Christian. | ||
| But I respect and admire the teachings that are in the Bible. | ||
| Not all of them. | ||
| But a lot of them are very important. | ||
| That have led us to the society today. | ||
| And I do believe in God. | ||
| And when I watched what happened on that day on Saturday, It feels like divine intervention. | ||
| I'll explain and elaborate a little bit more in a second, but it felt like there is an order to this world. | ||
| Whether you believe in God or not, I know many of you don't. | ||
| But if you don't believe in God, then I put it this way to you. | ||
| Do not imagine that there is a man sitting in the clouds, and when that bullet came, he waved his fingers and bent the direction of the bullet. | ||
| Don't believe any of that. | ||
| Or he blew in the wind, moving the bullet a few degrees. | ||
| Imagine that there is an order and a structure To this universe in however it exists and why ever it exists, you know physics, it's a real thing and math is our mapping of this. | ||
| There is some structure and as it played out that day, it was as such Donald Trump must live and he did. | ||
| Whatever that means to you. | ||
| To me, I feel like Trump has a purpose. | ||
| And when I see the Trump family there, a day later, doing the jobs that they're supposed to do, not taking that day off, not missing a beat, I say, these men, these women, are meant to be here. | ||
| And I hope for the best. | ||
| I hope they live up to that. | ||
| I hope the next Trump term will be everything we hope that it is. | ||
| I hope. | ||
| Here we go, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| What is that change gonna look like, Don? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Would it practically, your father as president, I think you would even say was a divisive figure. | |
| What's it gonna look like in the second term? | ||
| I don't think he was a divisive figure at all. | ||
| I think the media created divisiveness around him. | ||
| They lied about Russia, Russia collusion. | ||
| They said he was a traitor. | ||
| They went after him in every which way is possible. | ||
| If the media actually starts being an honest broker, talking about the things that he did, | ||
| the prosperity he brought, the peace deals that he signed around the world, | ||
| rather than the disaster that we're living right now, I think you'd do everyone in the country a big favor. | ||
| I know immigration's important to him. | ||
| I covered the family separation crisis closely. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Will we continue to see policies like separating 5,000 children deliberately from their parents? | |
| You mean the Obama administration? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know they didn't do that, sir. | |
| Sure. | ||
| Will there be a second family separation policy? | ||
| It's MSDNC, so I expect nothing less from you clowns. | ||
| Even today, even 48 hours later, you couldn't wait. | ||
| You couldn't wait with your lies and with your nonsense, so just get out of here. | ||
| This was so amazing to watch. | ||
| It's cathartic. | ||
| RNC Research with the fire emoji Trump Jr. | ||
| You couldn't wait 48 hours with your lies so you get out of here. | ||
| It felt so good for these smear merchants to be told off. | ||
| To see Don Jr. | ||
| just say no. | ||
| You know, because one of the criticisms many of us have had is that Trump keeps doing these interviews with the corporate press despite the fact they're lying about him. | ||
| But I'll tell you my response. | ||
| Is that Jacob Soboroff? | ||
| Yeah, it is Jacob Soboroff. | ||
| I'll tell you my response. | ||
| Will there be a second family separation policy? | ||
| You mean under the Obama administration? | ||
| No, you know Obama didn't do that. | ||
| Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. | ||
| Are you talking about the screening process to make sure that the children aren't being sexually trafficked? | ||
| Obama didn't do that? | ||
| And then I'd nudge my brother and I'd be like, did you hear that we just said? | ||
| He said Obama was letting child sex traffickers kidnap kids! | ||
| Aw, you can't say that about Obama, man. | ||
| I mean, we may have our disagreements. | ||
| The lie that they're making and the game that they're playing. | ||
| Was there a family separation policy? | ||
| No. | ||
| There was a... If a man shows up with a child and we don't know if that child is his, there's got to be some way to vet this. | ||
| Because right now I tell you what's happening under the Biden administration. | ||
| Here's another response to you, Jacob. | ||
| You mean how right now CBP has reported that there are little girls being trafficked into sex slavery because they're not screening who these men are? | ||
| Is that what you're saying? | ||
| You tell me how we handle this. | ||
| Criminal sex traffickers bringing children across the border, and then you think we should let them do it. | ||
| I tell you what. | ||
| If it's the choice between making sure that sweet child who is brought here against their will is not being a victim of a sex slavery ring means that they have to spend time away from their mom or dad, so be it. | ||
| Maybe their mom and dad shouldn't try to illegally enter the country at a time when sex traffickers are trafficking children and we know it. | ||
| No, I don't like that children are taken from their parents. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| The world isn't candy canes and rainbows. | ||
| There's a harsh reality and strong leaders have to make hard decisions. | ||
| And the hard decision is this. | ||
| It may be hard on a child when they're taken from their mother or father temporarily so we can figure out if these people are who they say they are. | ||
| And I hate that it must be this way. | ||
| But I will not tolerate gangs and cartels sex trafficking children into the United States. | ||
| And I tell you this, you choose. | ||
| How about this? | ||
| You stand before me, you come into my office, and when I slide those two envelopes towards you, you decide. | ||
| Would you condemn this child to sex slavery? | ||
| Or would you say, perhaps we should take 72 hours to try and figure out if these are actually the parents of this child they have illegally brought into this country? | ||
| These people are scumbags and they are liars. | ||
| But I see this response from Don, from Don Jr. | ||
| I see these men doing the hard work that needs to be done and I feel nothing but hope and respect and catharsis when they tell this man to get out of our faces. | ||
| I am sick of the lies and the manipulations. | ||
| I can tell all of you something very simply. | ||
| The world is a difficult place to live in, and we have fought hard for thousands upon thousands of years to make it better for every generation coming before us. | ||
| The idea that we live in a world of Skittles, candy canes, and rainbows comes only because great men have built walls around us. | ||
| I mean that figuratively and literally. | ||
| In the olden days, they quite literally built walls, and that kept the wolves out. | ||
| And the bears. | ||
| Eventually we just, you know, basically adopted the wolves and now they're man's best friend and we love them because they're cuddly and we rub their bellies. | ||
| That's a whole other point. | ||
| Man has tamed nature! | ||
| And for that... | ||
| You grow up with puppies that lick your face, and you can lay on the ground as golden retrievers run around wagging their tails. | ||
| But thousands of years ago, there were no dogs, tens of thousands of years ago. | ||
| It was man who worked at domesticating alongside the... We partnered up actually, it was symbiotic. | ||
| But my point is, we have built this safe and secure society, and people live in it now, forgetting the dangers that exist beyond it. | ||
| And the truth is this, there's no easy answer. | ||
| First, the family separation policy can be easily solved to everyone's, or to no one. | ||
| But we can say this, how about we build a wall and we say, you can't come in. | ||
| If you want to come in, it's through a port of entry. | ||
| The problem is, as these people pour in the country illegally, and we apprehend them for the crime they committed, they're with children. | ||
| And the challenge brought before Donald Trump is, we know the cartels are trafficking children. | ||
| Dr. Phil reported this. | ||
| They have numbers on their arms. | ||
| You call them, and they know. | ||
| CBP knows. | ||
| Their sex slavery rings. | ||
| So Trump says, I don't care. | ||
| The parents are criminals. | ||
| They're breaking the law. | ||
| They're risking their child's life. | ||
| It's negligence. | ||
| It's abusive. | ||
| These poor children are crossing rivers. | ||
| They're dying on the journey. | ||
| They're dying in the desert because the parents are abusive. | ||
| They could certainly live in their countries. | ||
| Most of these people are not asylum seekers. | ||
| They're lying. | ||
| And Trump says this, OK, the compromise is we take the child from the adult so we can verify that that parent is who they say they are. | ||
| That has always been the plan. | ||
| The media lies to smear Donald Trump to make him look bad. | ||
| They say he's separating children from their parents. | ||
| But they don't give you the full context. | ||
| And the full context is they're sex slavers. | ||
| Now I leave it to you to decide. | ||
| I'm not going to tell you what moral path to take. | ||
| You decide. | ||
| Because I know which path you will take. | ||
| I know which path Jacob Soboroff would take if he was being honest. | ||
| There's no way that man would ever allow a stranger to take a child to a sex slavery ring. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| Hey, maybe I'm wrong. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Some people are like that. | ||
| So I absolutely, absolutely love the response from Don Jr. | ||
| on this one. | ||
| To be fair, Eric is looking up at something else and smiling. | ||
| He's not smugly, you know. | ||
| But I still love the face. | ||
| And I want to stress this point again. | ||
| Everything that happened on that day on Saturday, It really feels like there are evil men trying to stop Donald Trump. | ||
| I don't know what else to say. | ||
| They falsely accused him of being a traitor. | ||
| It was a lie. | ||
| They claimed he was trying to dig up dirt on his political opponent, Joe Biden. | ||
| That was a lie. | ||
| Joe Biden engaged in a quid pro quo with the president of Ukraine. | ||
| Trump said, what was that all about? | ||
| Can you tell me what was happening? | ||
| They said, oh no, impeach him. | ||
| They lied. | ||
| When the whistleblower, air quotes, came out accusing Trump falsely of a crime for which he was acquitted, Anyone who mentioned his name would be pulled from YouTube and Facebook. | ||
| That's a conspiracy. | ||
| No question. | ||
| We've never got a resolution to how that happened. | ||
| YouTube took my videos down, Facebook took my posts down for simply saying a name, even in a totally separate context. | ||
| Conspiracy. | ||
| So you mean to tell me that with everything we've seen, everything, it is just a coincidence that the building where the police were actually staging Allowed a guy with a ladder to climb on top, grab a gun, for 26 minutes without anyone stopping him. | ||
| I think there are bad people who want a bad thing to happen. | ||
| Viva Frye said it was a leehop. | ||
| Let it happen on purpose. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| It certainly seems like that's the bare minimum. | ||
| But then, when the bullet was fired, it went right past Trump's head. | ||
| He looked to the right. | ||
| He tilted his head a little bit at the right moment. | ||
| Unfortunately, other people were injured and hurt. | ||
| But when I see Trump's survival on that day, with everything they've thrown at him, and failing every way, with the documents case being dismissed, I'm just like, this is Teflon Don. | ||
| They cannot get him. | ||
| And I have to imagine that at this point, with everything they've thrown his way, prison didn't work, it's been delayed, the documents case is gone, he's gonna win across the board. | ||
| The bullet went right past his head, Someone. | ||
| Something. | ||
| This guy's got some kind of force field or aura or plot armor. | ||
| You name it. | ||
| But I think perhaps the answer is simple. | ||
| He is meant to be where he is meant to be. | ||
| And so we'll see. | ||

| Adam, uh, Gia, uh, I'm pronouncing your name wrong, Gio Colon. | ||
| Tim, I think you are starting to believe Jesus is king. | ||
| What do you say? | ||
| Um... I'd say I don't know. | ||
| And there's a lot of people... That's the honest answer and I don't think that answer will ever change. | ||
| I believe in God. | ||
| And my... I would love to do like a two-hour lecture or discussion with a theologist. | ||
| A couple different ones. | ||
| Religious scholars and discuss faith, reality, God. | ||
| I believe in God because of what we think we know about science and math and physics. | ||
| I grew up... I went to Catholic school. | ||
| Until the end of fifth grade, I went to Mass, we did Bible study, we did all that stuff. | ||
| My friends did CCD, I didn't do that, I went to Catholic school. | ||
| And a lot of it left me with questions that were unanswered, and a lot of it gave me a deep understanding, and of course helped build the moral foundations that I hold today, which I believe are the correct ones. | ||
| It's fascinating to me that when we look at what is right, what is just, it correlates greatly with what is effective and meritocratic, which is the right way to do things. | ||
| Humans should succeed, right? | ||
| When you look at the Ten Commandments, they actually lend a great deal to the success of humans regardless. | ||
| Honor your mother and your father. | ||
| Well, why is that so important? | ||
| Well, it keeps you bonded to the path of human development. | ||
| To stand on the shoulders of giants is what generates the progress of humanity. | ||
| And to sever yourself from your ancestral roots, cut flower politics. | ||
| You forget your morals, your ethics, and the system crumbles. | ||
| We actually spent an episode where we went through the Ten Commandments and I said, even if you're not religious, many of these things, not all of them, I think, that, you know, have no gods before God. | ||
| I don't know if that applies to a secular person. | ||
| Don't steal, don't kill, honor your parents. | ||
| These things are good lessons across the board. | ||
| And so, I would feel It would feel wrong of me to lie to claim that I found Jesus or faith in Christianity or Catholicism or whatever. | ||
| I would never do that. | ||
| Certainly there are some people who are like, I became, you know, I'm conservative and all of a sudden I believe in Jesus. | ||
| Well, I won't lie to you on that one. | ||
| I just won't. | ||
| But I've always believed in God. | ||
| I had a period where I thought I was an atheist and then was told, no, you're agnostic because you don't know. | ||
| And I'm like, that's fair. | ||
| And then actually read books on physics and I was like, I believe there's, it is, it is conclusive. | ||
| God exists. | ||
| I think any reasonable argument on entropy, the golden ratio, math, the nature of existence as we think we know it, if you believe that humans are correct, then the conclusion is God exists. | ||
| There are some people who don't believe that, but I think the mistake people make, and I have this debate with them all the time, is they think God is a guy with a beard in the clouds. | ||
| And I'm like, dude, Matthew Knowles broke it down very, very well when he said, God is the logos of the universe. | ||
| And I'm like, that's a great way to put it. | ||
| Yeah, right. | ||
| When you talk to the actual scholars and theologians and things like this, they can break it down for you in a way that aligns perfectly with what we've already discovered in math and physics. | ||
| God is the natural endpoint of the mathematical equation. | ||
| It doesn't mean a man with a beard in the clouds. | ||
| It means a higher entity beyond our comprehension. | ||
| I'll put it to you this way. | ||
| When these people say that God is a man in the clouds, this is the mistake they're making. | ||
| They are, like we are, all of limited capacity and comprehension, but we try our best. | ||
| A dog doesn't know what a superhighway is. | ||
| It knows it's dangerous. | ||
| It knows sometimes it rides in the car on that, but it has no idea how it was built. | ||
| It has no idea the mechanisms, but it trusts you. | ||
| It knows food tastes good, and it knows some words, like sit, and come, and drop it, and things like that. | ||
| Dogs are a bit smart. | ||
| But they will never understand a highway. | ||
| You think a fly will? | ||
| You think a fly? | ||
| Now, we live on this planet with flies. | ||
| But an insect? | ||
| Doesn't even know it exists! | ||
| It can't perceive the highway. | ||
| And that is an animal on our planet for which we do have some deep evolutionary relation. | ||
| And this is the message for the secularists. | ||
| Now you would begin to surmise that you have any level of understanding of God? | ||
| Oh, don't be silly. | ||
| When we look at math, the conclusion lends itself to, at the bare minimum, the presupposition that there is a higher power of some sort. | ||
| Me, I think it's simplified into saying it's God. | ||
| But the idea that humans are the end-all be-all of consciousness and function of the universe is the stupidest thing ever. | ||
| If humans are simply wet robots, as it's been described to me by a secular individual, an atheist, then I say, okay, then the programming and math which dictates the logic of that code of the robot exists in the universe outside that human, does it not? | ||
| Well, of course. | ||
| Humans are simply an amalgamation of free energy that has been organized into a system that follows logical pathways producing this result, correct? | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| Then you must recognize that the code that presents this form exists outside of the body. | ||
| Otherwise, the body could not be built. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's called math. | ||
| Math is us mapping the code of the universe. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Now that you recognize that you are simply a function within a fraction of the existing code, you recognize that code as a greater power above you, and you can only exist within its confines. | ||
| You're beginning to understand that God is beyond your comprehension and exists. | ||
| But that is you looking through the keyhole of this massive mansion. | ||
| Oh, I can get way more into that, but I won't. | ||
| I'll just read a couple more Super Chats and then we'll wrap this one up. | ||
| But I certainly would love to have a greater conversation on religion. | ||
| And we were supposed to do one on the culture war with Ian. | ||
| We never got around to. | ||
| All right, I'll grab a couple more. | ||
| Virtual Review says, bring on Dr. James White. | ||
| He's a Protestant theologian. | ||
| I would love to do that. | ||
| Fixed Bayonet says, if you want a science and religious talk, you need to get Kent Hovind on the culture war. | ||
| We will mark that down. | ||
| We'll bring Ian on, so he can be enlightened. | ||
| Rob Gratt says, Tim, I've been telling you to let me come talk eschatology, end times prophecy, and theology for months. | ||
| We can get into all the things you are saying. | ||
| Send Ian a message on X. I'm always telling people, follow Ian Crosland! | ||
| But Ian responds to people, engages, and it's the easiest way to get in touch with the crew. | ||
| It's like, I could, like, emailing isn't doing, I get like a thousand emails a day. | ||
| I can't read any of them. | ||
| But we'll wrap it up there, my friends. | ||
| It's been a blast. | ||
| I absolutely love these morning live shows when they work, and we're able to get through them. | ||
| They're more fun to do. | ||
| It's a two-hour show instead of a one-hour show. | ||
| We get all the clips up later on, and people are still watching, so it's not a negative impact. | ||
| It's just been absolutely fantastic. | ||
| And we're gonna have a blast this week. | ||
| We're gonna go eat! | ||
| And we're gonna hit up Luke Rudkowski, and I'm just... | ||
| You know, my mood has elevated to an insane degree after seeing Donald Trump rise up and raise that fist. | ||
| But I really gotta tell you that when I see Don Jr. | ||
| at that event saying, when I see them all working, I'm 10 out of 10 in optimism right now. | ||
| I just, these guys rock. | ||
| My, my, you know, The the reverence I have for the Trump family at this point. | ||
| I just it could not be higher It's it's a crazy. | ||
| It's crazy because like I've met these people I interviewed Trump Don Jr's come on the show and I'm like, yeah, that's cool. | ||
| That's cool guy. | ||
| But now I'm just like Holy crap these guys you got Don Jr. | ||
| Eric shout out to you and the family you guys just are it's beyond words how inspired I am by the work you guys are doing after all this and all you've been through ah man If these guys can do this, if these guys can do this, it's a smile on my face, and I am more energized than ever. | ||
| I will see you guys all later. | ||
| We'll be back tonight. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out, and we'll see you all at 8 p.m. |
