|
That's two down. | |
AOC, of course, has already won her primary, but Cori Bush is out. | ||
Jamal Bowman is out. | ||
The squad has begun to shatter, and Ilhan Omar is next. | ||
She barely won her primary last time around. | ||
She has been criticized heavily by the Somali Muslim community for her stance on LGBTQ issues, and it is widely believed that in just about a week, I believe that's when her primary is. | ||
I could be wrong. | ||
We'll pull this up. | ||
She could lose. | ||
And so we're going to go through the sentiments at the American people of the far left, the probability of Ilhan Omar losing her primary. | ||
And Donald Trump's got a surprising statement about AOC. | ||
He said she's she's got something special. | ||
He says she's got a spark. | ||
We'll talk about that. | ||
Plus, Governor Tim Walz, now VP candidate. | ||
Accused of stolen valor, called a coward and a traitor for abandoning his men and refusing deployment. | ||
You got these Democrats coming out saying, you know, Tim Walz was deployed. | ||
He claimed that he carried a weapon of war in war. | ||
But we're now hearing, there are reports coming out, that he actually never deployed. | ||
He deferred and abandoned his men, and he's being heavily criticized for it. | ||
We got market news, because the economy just seems to be getting worse. | ||
Now there are some outlets saying the market's rebounded. | ||
It did a little bit, sure. | ||
But the economy is still bad. | ||
Sentiment is still that the economy is bad. | ||
And this does not bode well for Kamala Harris. | ||
However, it'll be interesting to see... | ||
If the Democrat voters and moderate Americans, independent voters, can understand that Kamala Harris is the current vice president because she's trying to campaign as though she is not the president. | ||
One of the funniest things about the speech that we heard from Kamala Harris and Tim Walz was that Donald Trump was doing, like, I can't remember exactly the policies, but they were like, you know, with Trump, he's constantly doing this thing, like on the economy and the border. | ||
And I'm like, Trump is not president. | ||
He's not doing anything. | ||
He's talking about what he wants to do. | ||
So right now you have Kamala Harris, who has no policy plans, currently in the administration, and you have Donald Trump with a big Agenda 47. | ||
And then we got Kai Sinat. | ||
He's an influencer. | ||
He's not political. | ||
He snaps. | ||
He's banging on his desk yelling, saying, I don't want politics. | ||
But Kamala Harris' campaign, allegedly, there are people hitting them up being like, we need you in the campaign. | ||
They're offering money. | ||
And it is true. | ||
Kamala Harris' campaign is paying influencers to support them. | ||
It's brilliant. | ||
Donald Trump needs to do something like this. | ||
There was, with the Aiden Ross stream, it was a smashing success. | ||
And many people have said that Donald Trump, I think it was the quartering who suggested Trump should just chill at Mar-a-Lago and invite a litany of influencers and streamers to come down and hang out and stream with him. | ||
The amount of traffic he would generate, the press he would generate, would be massive. | ||
That's a good idea. | ||
It's a good idea. | ||
He doesn't gotta pay them. | ||
Doesn't gotta pay them. | ||
If Mar-a-Lago hit us up, if Trump's campaign or something said, hey Tim, would you want to come down and do IRL with Trump at Mar-a-Lago? | ||
We'd be like, say no more, fam. | ||
And we would get everything ready and we would go do that. | ||
And that's actually in the playbook. | ||
You know, I got to be honest, like, we interviewed Trump. | ||
I got him for 17 minutes. | ||
It was an honor and a privilege. | ||
And it was mostly because we decided we should. | ||
For a long time, a lot of people in the Trump circle and his administration, his campaigner, not his administration, but former administration, have been saying they would help us set it up. | ||
And I'm just like, well, we'll get it when we get it, because I think it matters more closer to the election. | ||
So maybe that's something we do. | ||
Really, I think it's on us. | ||
to actually set the schedule and reach out. | ||
But it's a great idea. | ||
So let's talk about this. | ||
Let's talk about where we're at with the far left and this shift we're seeing. | ||
Democrats have had enough of this stuff. | ||
That's why Cori Bush lost. | ||
But before we get started, my friends, smash that like button. | ||
Head over to castbrew.com. | ||
This show is brought to you by Cast Brew Coffee. | ||
It's our coffee company. | ||
We sponsor ourselves. | ||
We did this for a couple reasons. | ||
Look, Any good business, especially the meaty business, you gotta merchandise, right? | ||
And so we were trying to figure out, first, what's our core mission? | ||
And we want physical locations where people can hang out and organize. | ||
Like the Founding Fathers, meeting in bars and discussing politics, we need physical spaces. | ||
Everything going virtual is bad. | ||
It's bad. | ||
There's positives and there's negatives, so we need physical spaces. | ||
The easiest way to go about that is a coffee shop. | ||
Coffee is... | ||
It's easy. | ||
Everybody loves it. | ||
I love it. | ||
It's a simple thing that people want to go to a physical location, and it can allow us to get a quick physical foothold around the country, setting up coffee shops. | ||
So the first thing we did was create Casper Coffee. | ||
It also allows us to sponsor our own shows, so less money goes to third parties who sponsor us. | ||
So go to casper.com if you like coffee. | ||
Pick up Appalachian Nights, everybody's favorite. | ||
And you're not only helping us by supporting the show, You're helping us set up these physical locations. | ||
We're moving forward with our first location in Martinsburg, West Virginia. | ||
It's been a bit of a pain because, for whatever reason, it's taken a year and a half plus to get to where we are now. | ||
It's frustrating. | ||
But the good news is... | ||
I'm sorry, national and international eventually, but national expansion for our other locations has been moving along perfectly. | ||
It's a much more difficult process, so there is good news in the works. | ||

Last night, my friends, on TimCast IRL, everybody noticed this. | ||
You couldn't find the show. | ||
People who say I watch the show every single night went to YouTube.com and TimCastIRL was not anywhere to be found. | ||
Some people said it took 20 minutes to find the show, but they eventually did. | ||
That's crazy. | ||
People were saying that they tried going to the actual channel page and the stream's not there. | ||
And you know what happened? | ||
It happened to me. | ||
The only way I was able to see it on my own app was through our playlist, which was crazy. | ||
And then around 8.40, the shadow ban appeared to have been lifted, but it did negatively impact the show, and everybody was pissed. | ||
It's election season. | ||
Prepare for more of this. | ||
This channel was censored for a long time. | ||

But let's jump into the big first story here. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, squad member Cory Bush loses Democratic primary in Missouri. | ||
Oh, you hate to see it. | ||
Sad to see her go. | ||
Missouri Rep. | ||
Cori Bush has lost her Democratic primary to St. | ||
Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell, securing another win for the same pro-Israel groups that helped oust New York Rep. | ||
Jamal Bowman six weeks ago. | ||
Bush, a member of the House Squad of progressive lawmakers like Bowman, has all was already earmarked for a tough primary in | ||
Missouri's first congressional district, which ended up being the second most expensive primary of | ||
the cycle. | ||
Behind only Bowman's race in New York, her fierce advocacy for a ceasefire in Gaza, | ||
added fuel to opponents fire. And in similar fashion to Bowman, Bush, despite the backing of progressive groups, local | ||
leaders and top congressional Democrats, was unable to fend off Bell, who like Bush rose to prominence | ||
during the protests in Ferguson, Missouri a decade ago, following the police killing of | ||
Michael Brown. | ||
I love how they put unarmed black teenager Michael Brown. | ||
I would just like to point out that it was the Obama administration that found he was grabbing the gun of Darren Wilson. | ||
Come on, man. | ||
Not that I'm happy any of it happened, but let's just give people the real facts. | ||
With victory Tuesday, Bell will be heavily favored in the general election for the solid blue St. | ||
Louis area seat. | ||
His win also marks a second time in three cycles that a challenger has unseated the incumbent in the first District Democrat primary. | ||
Bush defeated Rep. | ||
William Lacey Clay in the 2020 contest. | ||
Bell first entered elective politics in 2015 when he won a seat on the Ferguson City Council. | ||
Three years later, he was the first black St. | ||
Louis County prosecutor unseating longtime incumbent Robert McCulloch. | ||
What we had that he did not have was the power of the people, Bell told supporters that night in 2018. | ||
But his decision not to bring charges against the officer who shot Brown frustrated some in the community, including Brown's father, who cut an ad for Bush in the closing days of the race in which he says, I feel like Bell lied to us. | ||
I just want to point that out. | ||
This is the guy who refused to charge Darren Wilson? | ||
Obama? | ||
Okay, I just want to make sure everybody understands, Obama's a black man. | ||
Eric Holder, okay? | ||
It's his administration that concluded. | ||
Michael Brown was grabbing the guy's gun. | ||
Hands up, don't shoot was a lie. | ||
But anyway, I think it's fair to say, the far left is out. | ||
Now, what's fascinating here, of course, is what we can expect with the next primary, Ilhan Omar, coming up. | ||
But more importantly, Tim Walz is VP. | ||
And I've got this longer segment for our 1pm slot, which will be coming up after this, for those that are watching live in about a half an hour. | ||
Tim Walz, as a far leftist, Can he really win? | ||
I mean, they're rejecting the far left right now. | ||
So a guy who's saying, you know, I should say, the idea that they would adopt far left policies and candidates when the squad is losing. | ||
What's fascinating is Josh Shapiro is Jewish. | ||
And they rejected him. | ||
Everyone believes it on those grounds. | ||
The progressives wrote a letter saying, no, young people, Arabs and Muslims are not going to support you if you do this. | ||
And so they went full far left. | ||
I actually think that is indicative of a Donald Trump victory. | ||
Especially what we're seeing. | ||
The lines are being drawn in the sand. | ||
Now, of course, critics of Israel are pointing out that with the big spending, let me point this out. | ||
They say defeat will be a blow to House progressives who rallied around Bowman earlier this year, only to see him lose by more than 15 points to a more moderate opponent in the Democratic primary. | ||
Both Bush and Bowman came under criticism from their opponents for lodging protest votes against Joe Biden's bipartisan infrastructure bill. | ||
She sold out our president, and she sold out the city of St. | ||
Louis, a person says in an ad, by the United Democracy Project, a super PAC of the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee. | ||
The group spent about $9 million on ads attacking Bush or boosting Bell. | ||
That's fascinating, isn't it? | ||
And I can certainly understand the criticisms here. | ||
A lot of people, not even on the left, on the right, who are critical of Israel's influence in American politics, like AIPAC, are not happy to see a massive, well-funded, pro-Israel political action committee funding the opponents of the Squad to remove them. | ||
Why? | ||
Not because, mostly, not because the Squad is far-left, but because they're anti-Israel. | ||
I'm not a big fan. | ||
I can say I think Cori Bush is bad for this country. | ||
I don't think her district likes her. | ||
I don't think money changes public sentiment. | ||
Bowman was a criminal, is a criminal, who removed emergency signs and pulled a fire alarm. | ||
I'm happy to see them go. | ||
However, if the result is going to be members of Congress who are going to vote for foreign war, then I think we are arguably worse off. | ||
So it is rocking a hard place. | ||
Ultimately, I just shrug and say, hey, you get what you give. | ||
And the far left gets ousted because people are not happy with them. | ||
I'm hoping. | ||
That we will actually get a better administration under Donald Trump, irrespective of Congress, that puts less money into foreign war. | ||
That being said, Donald Trump was a very, very pro-Israel president. | ||
We likely will see expansion of pro-Israel policies. | ||
I don't know how that will manifest. | ||
That being said as well, Donald Trump, no new wars. | ||
Winding down of Middle Eastern incursions, withdrawal from Afghanistan, net positive. | ||
Absolute net positive. | ||
I don't think that you will just have the end of American foreign policy funding overnight. | ||
Donald Trump is the better candidate for this. | ||
I think it's important to be critical of why it is people like Bowman and Cori Bush lose when it's pro-Israel groups that are doing this. | ||
And I'm concerned we end up with other Democrats who are going to be warmongers like the rest of them. | ||
And so that's a challenge, right? | ||
I don't want AOC, Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush voting for communist, socialist, neo-Marxist, whatever garbage. | ||
Supporting these weird books for kids in school. | ||
I don't like any of that stuff. | ||
But I'm okay when they're anti-war. | ||
I don't trust that they're actually completely anti-war, so I ain't gonna cry about them losing. | ||
Here are the results from Missouri. | ||
I believe these are the AP results posted by the New York Times. | ||
Wesley Bell with 51.2% crushing Cori Bush's 45.6%. | ||
Now again, I'll stress, as a lot of people are saying, it's these pro-Israel PACs that have ousted them and that's not a good thing. | ||
As a separate issue, I don't like the idea of pro-foreign funding political action committees ousting members of Congress. | ||
The only reason Cori Bush wins in the first place, the only reason AOC or Ilhan Omar wins is because they're D plus 20 or whatever districts. | ||
Meaning, they engage in grassroots activism to a mostly apathetic and nihilistic population. | ||
And they win with a microscopic portion of the primary. | ||
I mean, right now what's interesting is 123,000 people voted in this primary. | ||
It's a lot of people, but we're talking about 775,000 people. | ||
So this is overall a minority population choice. | ||
So if you're going to get a Wesley Bell to win, my attitude is, Cori Bush, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Bowman, these people only win due to apathy and low voter turnout. | ||
So I consider all of these things and I say, well, you get what you give. | ||
Good riddance. | ||
Not that I think Wesley Bell will necessarily be better, but Not a big fan of the squad. | ||
I will tell you this, my friends. | ||
I celebrated AOC's victory over Crowley when it happened. | ||
This was back in 2018. | ||
I believe it was 2018, right? | ||
And I'm like, good. | ||
Get some populist leftists. | ||
I don't care. | ||
Get them to remove the incumbent uniparty garbage. | ||
Boy. | ||
How did that turn out? | ||
These people have turned out to just blindly support it for the most part. | ||
Not completely. | ||
But what's the only thing we really get? | ||
They don't like Israel? | ||
Come on. | ||
There was a candidate who was running against Nancy Pelosi as a progressive, and she was anti-war. | ||
I donated to her. | ||
A Democrat progressive in San Francisco. | ||
Because I said, look, I don't expect a Republican to win in San Francisco. | ||
What can I get? | ||
A young woman who said, no more funding for foreign war. | ||
And I'm like, deal. | ||
Here's my problem. | ||
These Democrats are pro-Ukraine war. | ||
Overwhelmingly. | ||
They hate Israel, they don't want to fund Israel, but they're happy to give money to Ukraine. | ||
Why? | ||
Because Democrat party leadership whips them into shape. | ||
I'd like to see some actual anti-war stuff going on. | ||
Not that I think Wesley Bell's going to give it to us, but we will see. | ||
Now Laura Loomer's got the tweet. | ||
Law Loomer says, in 2022, Ilhan Omar barely won her primary by 2,466 votes. | ||
If 5,000 Republicans cast a ballot against her in the primary on August 13th, she will be removed from office. | ||
Minnesota has an open primary. | ||
If you live in Minnesota, and you're a Republican, I'm calling on you to vote for Ilhan Omar's Democrat opponent in the August 13th primary. | ||
I'm not a fan of this strategy. | ||
I certainly understand the strategy. | ||
It's a tit-for-tat. | ||
They tried doing it to Donald Trump with Nikki Haley. | ||
Democrats overwhelmingly were voting for Nikki Haley, saying, we don't actually care about Republicans. | ||
We're just sabotaging Trump. | ||
I'm not a fan of the strategy. | ||
I'm not a fan of the implication for this country. | ||
But I certainly understand power dynamics. | ||
And I don't think Laura Loomer is wrong to say, we are going to win and this is how we do it. | ||
And so I shrug. | ||
I say, I get it. | ||
Democrats played hardball. | ||
This is the game they play. | ||
Rush Limbaugh called for the thing in the past. | ||
Far be it from me to tell Republicans not to enact winning strategies. | ||
If these are the rules, play by the rules. | ||
Democrats use ballot harvesting, then we play by the rules, whatever those rules may be. | ||
Again, I just, it's like, ah man, I wish this country was actually people arguing and then deciding who won the argument, but that's not the case. | ||
Power dynamics all the way. | ||
You are allowed to do this in an open primary. | ||
Omar almost lost in 2022. | ||
If 5,000 GOP voters cross over to vote against her on the 13th, we can remove her from office. | ||
This needs to happen. | ||
Tell everyone you know who lives in Minnesota. | ||
Take a look at this. | ||
Ilhan Omar's Democratic challenger sends warning after Cori Bush loss. | ||
Not that I think it's all that important, we'll see. | ||
Rep Ilhan Omar's Democratic challenger has sent her a warning after a fellow squad member, Congressman Cori Bush, failed to be re-elected to her district for a third term in this year's primaries. | ||
Bush's loss in Missouri on Tuesday to Wesley Bell, the prosecuting attorney for St. | ||
Louis County, makes her the second member, we know, we know, Congratulations, Wesley. | ||
It's clear the Democrats around the country are ready to move on from those who put politics above the people. | ||
In just one week, Minnesota CD5 has the opportunity to do the same. | ||
To everyone in Minneapolis and the suburbs, I hope to earn your support, Samuels wrote on Axe, formerly Twitter. | ||
I love when they do that. | ||
Squad members are battling to keep their seats. | ||
AOC won handily, by the way. | ||
Bowman's out. | ||
We'll take a look at this. | ||
Here's the polling. | ||
It ain't looking good for Samuels. | ||
The July 17th-21st polling in CD5 Minnesota has Ilhan Omar up 27 points against Samuels. | ||
But I don't know what that means. | ||
I don't know if the polling actually matters. | ||
I have this article. | ||
We're gonna take you way back in time to August 16th, 2022. | ||
Two years ago, my friends, why Ilhan Omar almost lost her primary. | ||
Well, why was that? | ||
They say conventional wisdom suggests that members of opposing political parties don't like each other, and I mean really don't like each other. | ||
Who wrote this? | ||
Is this Nate Silver? | ||
Alex Samuels. | ||
I know Nate Silver's not with FiveThirty, this is an old article. | ||
Minnesota rep Ilhan Omar must be asking herself the question after nearly losing her primary on August 9th. | ||
She's a member of the squad, and a week rarely goes by without one of them making headlines. | ||
But why did she almost lose? | ||
They go on to mention all this controversy, etc, etc. | ||
In other words, Omar isn't the only one who's attracted negative headlines. | ||
It's a hard thing to quantify, but she may even be the squad's most controversial member. | ||
To be sure, there's no one explanation for why she's disliked. | ||
Perhaps because she married her brother. | ||
Oh wait, it doesn't say that. | ||
I'm kidding. | ||
Perhaps more than her fellow squad members, she has repeatedly questioned U.S. | ||
government's relationship with Israel in ways that have angered members of both parties. | ||
There was a time in 2019 when she responded to a tweet and said the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee, a pro-Israel group, uh-huh, was all about the Benjamins. | ||
A comment that angered lawmakers from her own party because it invoked historical anti-Semitic tropes. | ||
And that's, you know, look, I don't think it's fair to say that if she's criticizing people for being more interested in money than what's right by the people, I don't think it's anti-Semitic. | ||
I do think she, as I described, crop dusts anti-Semitism. | ||
What does that mean? | ||
You ever see a crop duster? | ||
Those planes come down real low to the ground, but they don't touch the ground. | ||
So she said a lot of things that were like, interestingly close, and it's not that any one of them was anti-semitic, but it's that she said a lot of things. | ||
I don't know, there were like four things she said in a short period of time where it's like, those are all not themselves. | ||
And I think it's fair to say, not anti-semitic. | ||
I won't play that game. | ||
You can say that people are more interested in money, that's fine. | ||
But like, all of them together, I'm kind of like, I think you believe things, but, you know, let's keep the, you know, we don't, we don't, I don't trust her. | ||
I don't trust her. | ||
I don't think she likes Jewish people. | ||
So they go blah, blah, blah. | ||
They say it's because she's Muslim and xenophobia and yada, yada, yada. | ||
Okay, well, how about this? | ||
This is from Op India. | ||
U.S. | ||
lawmaker Ilhan Omar faces attacks from Islamists on social media for celebrating Pride Month. | ||
You want to know why she almost lost? | ||
Okay, so we had, I think it was, I can't remember who it was on, I think it was the Culture War podcast. | ||
Might have been, was it Ben last week? | ||
I don't know. | ||
We were hearing that Ilhan Omar is a progressive leftist, and a lot of conservatives think that the Somali Muslims like her, and that's why she wins. | ||
In fact, it is not correct. | ||
So I asked our good friend Chet GPT, What percent of Minnesota Somali migrants are Muslim? | ||
And they said 99% of Somali migrants in Minnesota are Muslim. | ||
The Somali community in Minnesota, the largest in the U.S., predominantly follows Islam due to their cultural and religious backgrounds from Somalia. | ||
They are religious conservatives. | ||
Ilhan Omar tweets, Happy Pride Month! | ||
We won't stop fighting until all LGBTQ plus Americans can live free from discrimination. | ||
Her tweets did not go well with members of the Muslim community who expressed their disgust in comments and quotes over her views. | ||
Twitter user Islamicize wrote, The way organizations still scramble to get hold of her for their events is a shameful show of weakness and absence of Ghira for the dean. | ||
I don't know what that means. | ||
How have any scholars still not tack-fired her is beyond my comprehension. | ||
Not sure. | ||
So let's just put it this way. | ||
She's deeply offended, many in the Muslim community, in her own district, in her own state. | ||
They're not voting for, who is? | ||
Affluent white female liberals. | ||
Because, excuse me, they don't want to be racists or bigots. | ||
And they see this Muslim woman of color and they say, that's who I'm voting for because I'm a good person. | ||
Meanwhile, the actual religious Muslim conservatives are like, uh, she does not represent our values and we don't want her in office. | ||
There's a strong possibility then that she loses. | ||
We will see. | ||
If people actually adopt the Laura Loomer strategy of going in the open primary, and I don't think it's fair to even say it's Laura Loomer's strategy. | ||
It is a widely known strategy of voting in the other party's primary to sabotage their candidate. | ||
Yeah, she loses. | ||
Dude, if you've got conservatives in Minnesota who are like, what's the point of voting? | ||
The Democrat's gonna win anyway. | ||
Well, you vote in the Democrat primary, then Ilhan Omar loses for sure. | ||
So she's up against Don Samuels. | ||
Don Samuels. | ||
And she's up by 27 points. | ||
I don't know if that really means anything. | ||
We'll see. | ||
The polling may not actually represent anything substantive. | ||
What is this? | ||
The latest polls has Kamala Harris beating Donald Trump. | ||
Oh boy, oh boy, here we go. | ||
Well, we'll keep it to the squad for this as we begin to wind things down. | ||
I'm going to tell you. | ||
Trump lauds AOC. | ||
She's got a spark and it's pretty amazing. | ||
Ah, you see, Trump's not a stupid guy. | ||
Trump's not stupid. | ||
I can tell you this. | ||
You don't have to think about Trump having met him, talked to him a couple times. | ||
He has no time for games. | ||
I imagine when you're as old as he is, you've heard it all, you've seen it all. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
I get a lot of people, you know, I'm only 38. | ||
But someone will come to me, and they'll start saying something that I've heard 10, 15 years ago, and I just try to be respectful, maybe let them finish their point, or I'll just be like, no, no, we get it, we get it. | ||
Like, if someone were to come on Tim Kest's IRL, and then talk about something we all know from 2016, like, you know that Donald Trump, he said he was going to, you know, build a big, beautiful border wall from sea to shining sea, It's like, okay, we get it. | ||
Like if you're bringing up the point, but if you go into great detail to explain why Trump on the border wall, I'm going to be like, uh, my dude, the immigration crisis is still well-known. | ||
We get it. | ||
We get it. | ||
Trump gets this. | ||
He says, she's got a thing going. | ||
She's got a spark. | ||
And that's pretty amazing. | ||
I give her credit. | ||
She's got a lot of sizzle. | ||
I saw her and I said, she's a Vita. | ||
He said in reference to the Argentina activist, Eva Peron, she's in the street, screaming, shouting, going crazy, hugging people. | ||
Rep. | ||
Cortez in July became one of several major Democrats to challenge Supreme Court ruling. | ||
Blah-ba-dee-blah-ba-dee-blah. | ||
You get it. | ||
Donald Trump knows the game. | ||
He knows how to label people. | ||
He knows when to attack people. | ||
And I'll tell you what he's doing with AOC. | ||
The far left is losing. | ||
Cori Bush is out. | ||
Bowman is out. | ||
AOC won. | ||
Trump wants to, likely, prop her up, remain neutral, so that she becomes more prominent in the Democratic Party. | ||
She's succeeding. | ||
She will be more well-known. | ||
Donald Trump says, well, you know, even she's good. | ||
Her fans are gonna be like, ha, even Trump admits it. | ||
She's formidable. | ||
And then what happens? | ||
In 10 years or whatever, when AOC's crackpot leftist views are waning, and people are not supporting this stuff, she loses. | ||
And she goes nowhere. | ||
She wins in her district, but ultimately, it leads the Democrats down the wrong path. | ||
It's a dangerous game. | ||
Assuming this is the move that Trump is actually trying to make, maybe he's just trying to be tactful. | ||
But you gotta be careful, because Democrats tried the Pied Piper strategy against the Republicans with Donald Trump, and Trump won. | ||
So, would be interesting to see what happens with AOC in that regard. | ||
But we'll round things out. | ||
Tim Walz is a far-left progressive whom Harris and the media will lie to make him moderate. | ||
It gets me wondering. | ||
They chose a far-leftist at a time when the far-left is losing. | ||
That's interesting. | ||
With Kamala Harris choosing Tim Walz. | ||
I believe Tim Walz calls for a ceasefire. | ||
Let me make sure I have this right. | ||
Ceasefire in Gaza. | ||
Uh-oh. | ||
Tim Walz won't help Kamala Harris defang Gaza, protesters organizers say. | ||
That's what I had heard. | ||
I had heard this guy was more of a ceasefire leftist. | ||
I don't care what your opinion is on Israel in this regard. | ||
tolerable, sought ceasefire. | ||
Praised, uncommitted, Shapiro did not." | ||
unidentified
|
Interesting. | |
That's what I had heard. | ||
I had heard this guy was more of a ceasefire leftist. | ||
I don't care what your opinion is on Israel in this regard. | ||
I can tell you that powerful pro-Israel groups are not going to let these people win easily. | ||
I don't know that AIPAC or other pro-Israel groups are going to be able to do anything | ||
about it, but they will certainly try. | ||
That, my friends, should be absolutely fascinating to watch. | ||
But we will jump to Super Chats now, winding down the opening segment, and we got more stuff for you, but I do want to say this. | ||
I was in doing the research for the segments on Donald Trump and Kamala Harris and the market and the sentiment. | ||
I couldn't help but see all of these stories, because I'm really interested in Moody's analytics. | ||
They tend to be fairly accurate, and they said Biden was going to win. | ||
unidentified
|
Uh-huh. | |
Yeah, earlier this year, they predicted a Biden victory. | ||
In May, we got predictions of a Biden victory. | ||
And it's funny, because Biden's not even the nominee anymore. | ||
And guess what? | ||
My friends, here is a video from me from 10 months ago. | ||
September 14th, 2023 with 200,000 views. | ||
twenty twenty three with two hundred thousand views. | ||
Biden will drop out of twenty twenty four race. | ||
And I talked about this. | ||
I thought it was in November. | ||
I looked. | ||
September, I was saying this. | ||
Why? | ||
Because the news was saying it. | ||
Nancy Pelosi concedes Biden may drop out of 2024 race. | ||
And then I was thinking about this and I'm like, they're just speculating. | ||
But I thought to myself, there is no sane reality where Joe Biden remains the nominee. | ||
And so I figured, I am of the opinion. | ||
At that point, nearly one year ago, Biden will not be the nominee. | ||
And I was correct. | ||
Now don't get me wrong, we had the joke scenarios of like Gavin Newsom stepping in, little did we know they just dumped Kamala Harris there. | ||
So it is what it is. | ||
But at the very least, if you listen to the mainstream media and the corporate press, you're going to be told things that are likely not correct. | ||
If you watch the TimCast News Breakdown, you're probably going to be at least slightly better informed. | ||
That is to say, well of course I'm just reading the news saying Biden may drop out. | ||
If you just read the snippets and watch CNN, they were saying he's fine, his brain is perfect, it's lies, it's cheap fakes. | ||
But you watch. | ||
You listen to podcasts, you watch shows like mine, we got your back to the best of our abilities. | ||
Not like we're psychic or anything. | ||
But we'll get ready for that next segment. | ||
Oh boy. | ||
Tim Waltz, a coward and a traitor for retiring from military before Iraq, says Guardsman, who replaced the VP pick. | ||
They're saying it's stolen valor. | ||
They're accusing him of stolen valor. | ||
I mean, that's crazy. | ||
Especially when he goes up on stage and says he wielded a weapon of war, when they're claiming he never did. | ||
Interesting. | ||
So we'll talk about this, as well as Tim Waltz being considered far left, and what are the accusations against him. | ||
But for now, my friends, let's go to your Super Chats. | ||
If you've got questions, drop them in. | ||
We only got a handful of Super Chats right now, but we're going to read what y'all have to say, and then we will jump to this next segment. | ||
Apocalyptic Pioneer says, please have Rep Ana Paulina Luna and Dr. Paul Saladino in the Culture War with Ian and Luke. | ||
Rep Luna wants to ban high fructose corn syrup. | ||
HFCS. | ||
I believe that's what you're saying. | ||
And Dr. Paul talks about animal-based diet where you eat meat, dairy, and fruit only. | ||
I did keto for two years. | ||
I felt great. | ||
And then I slowly started coming off of it because this is what happens, you know? | ||
I'm like, I feel so good. | ||
I feel so good. | ||
What does it matter if I have a little bread here and there? | ||
And then I started having problems that I think were related to gluten. | ||
I don't know. | ||
So I ended up getting a personal trainer. | ||
He said, eat carbs, eat lots of them. | ||
And so I tried it and I'd say it mostly felt fine. | ||
However, I can't stand the ups and downs. | ||
I'm having trouble scheduling, because look, I do a morning show for two hours, we do a nightly show for three hours, I've got a block in between for business stuff, eating dinner, and exercising. | ||
And it's difficult to try and do this breakfast, lunch, and dinner. | ||
I know it's fairly common, I know that's what everyone always does, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but I eat breakfast, I do the show, I get tired. | ||
How am I supposed to exercise? | ||
I've got to eat again, then wait an hour? | ||
I can't do that. | ||
So I started doing keto again. | ||
I feel like a million bucks. | ||
We also give a shout out to these Vault Keto Energy Drinks, because we had a bunch of these. | ||
I mentioned they're super good. | ||
And they sponsored our show when we were out at the RNC. | ||
And we got another case of it. | ||
I'm so excited because I love this stuff. | ||
But it's a ketone energy drink. | ||
There's no sugar, there's no caffeine. | ||
I'm not intending to just shout them out, but I'm literally drinking one. | ||
Because I'm doing keto. | ||
I feel better. | ||
It's crazy how good I feel. | ||
It's indescribable. | ||
I'm not going to recommend you guys do anything. | ||
Everybody's different. | ||
Some people do better. | ||
Some people don't. | ||
Talk to your doctor. | ||
I just feel so much better. | ||
On Monday, I skated for four and a half hours. | ||
Where I usually skate for two. | ||
And I didn't even want to stop skating. | ||
But I had to go to work. | ||
I just felt like I had so much energy. | ||
It was fantastic. | ||
That's just me. | ||
Alright, let's grab some more. | ||
Devin Fails says, I've never once been notified of your live streams and today was the first time. | ||
Maybe it's because Google and YouTube were declared a monopolies and they're trying to do damage control. | ||
Maybe that's why they removed the censorship on Google from this channel, because you couldn't search for it. | ||
Well, you know, I don't know for sure, but one like equals one F on YouTube. | ||
I'm certainly antagonistic. | ||
I should probably just say thank you to YouTube for removing the censorship and allowing us to speak freely and share our ideas. | ||
So forgive me if we want to vent a little bit and say F you for doing it in the first place. | ||
All right. | ||
92%, 95%, 96. | ||
unidentified
|
Agree. | |
92% 95% 96% agree. | ||
Smash that like button ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Yeah they shadow banned IRL last night. | ||
No question. | ||
No question we were shadowbanned last night. | ||
That's nuts. | ||
Timcast IRL, if you subscribe, it will appear on the front page for you, especially if you watch the show every night, because YouTube knows it's a high-retention time show with the largest consistent live viewership. | ||
Why would they not show it to people? | ||
How strange. | ||
How utterly strange. | ||
It could always be something simple. | ||
Seriously, it could be like, one employee who's far left is at Google, put a lock on it, but during the show, I can tell you this, we do have people at Google who are big fans of the show, maybe would have been watching, and because they seek out the show, and they heard us saying we're being shadow banned, and they're like, what? | ||
And then they went in and saw it and removed it. | ||
By 8.40 the ban was lifted and the show returned to normal. | ||
I have to wonder. | ||
I will stress this. | ||
I have been to YouTube HQ several times. | ||
I have done free events for YouTube. | ||
I can tell you, I am not a fan of when Google employees, because the company is so large, take negative actions against us, considering the favors I have done for this company. | ||
I consulted on Google's live streaming mobile apps on YouTube Live for free. | ||
This is 12 years ago. | ||
They called me into a meeting. | ||
I'm sitting down with Google engineers, Google Plus, and YouTube, and I'm telling them everything about mobile live stream, everything for free. | ||
Why? | ||
Because I wanted the product to work so I could use it. | ||
The nerve of them to have then shadow banned my channels later on when I did them favors. | ||
With all due respect, not cool. | ||
I've done public speaking events on their behalf. | ||
I've flown out to events in London and California to be here, giving them my expertise because I want the system to succeed. | ||
And I can say this. | ||
I can certainly understand that there are people at YouTube and Google who are of different political backgrounds, and there are some bad actors who probably do bad things. | ||
But I would just then ask that if you are at Google and you do like the show and you think we do a good job, just keep an eye out. | ||
Because it is shockingly offensive. | ||
I tell you this, I was in New York, I had multiple meetings, multiple meetings in 2012 with Google about how to create a mobile live streaming app, the things that work, the things that don't work. | ||
And it's just offensive. | ||
It really is. | ||
Okay? | ||
We don't break the rules. | ||
We don't. | ||
For them to delete two of our biggest episodes ever off of TimCast IRL and give us a warning over it. | ||
How dare you? | ||
After the favors I've done for this company. | ||
No wonder people are mad at you, YouTube. | ||
No wonder a court says you're an illegal monopoly. | ||
And again, I'll stress, I know people at Google, I've known them for a very long time, many of these employees are very good people, some of them have left to go somewhere else because of political bias, but your company's too big if you can't keep a handle on the bad actors. | ||
All right. | ||
All right. | ||
Tattered Shield says not to bring up old stuff, but you should probably have looked up Logan Paul before calling him based. | ||
He has scammed quite a few of his viewers. | ||
Well, then, you know, then he's not good, is he? | ||
I don't know enough about him. | ||
All I know is I heard him talk about business. | ||
I thought he talked good. | ||
He talked good. | ||
You know, it is what it is. | ||
He's got a spark, a lot of energy, you know, something special. | ||
He's got a sizzle. | ||
Chris Burke says it's happening right now. | ||
I had to go directly to your page and then the playlist find your live. | ||
It didn't show you were live in my sub list like usual. | ||
You know what I think? | ||
I think that were we not held back on this morning show and Timcast IRL, we'd have 50 to 100k live viewers. | ||
I think YouTube wants, they want to make sure live streams are apolitical. | ||
And there's a variety of reasons for it. | ||
But I will say, certain leftist channels get all the benefit in the world. | ||
There was a period in 2018 where YouTube shadowbanned a ton of YouTubers. | ||
You know how we know? | ||
You'd go into your recommendations, and the channels are gone. | ||
We'd go into our analytics, and you could see recommendations at 10% dropped to 2%. | ||
What was happening was, these channels were widely popular. | ||
People liked what we had to say. | ||
I was fairly moderate. | ||
In fact, my YouTube rep at the time was a liberal, because they viewed me as a liberal. | ||
Liberal Democrat. | ||
And then they nuked my channel and everyone else's. | ||
It didn't end the show because people still sought it out, but it removed our ability to grow as rapidly as we were before. | ||
That's the shadow ban. | ||
And everybody saw it. | ||
Dirty games, my friends. | ||
Dirty games. | ||
Alright, let's go. | ||
TB Gamer says, hello, love the show. | ||
I haven't heard anybody talking about the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. | ||
17 states so far involved. | ||
They are making the electoral vote mute. | ||
Yeah, but they're not relevant right now. | ||
They may be in the future. | ||
For this election, I don't think it's particularly relevant. | ||
Man Sam Sung says, he's a pathetic coward. | ||
But what he did is not stolen valor according to the definition. | ||
And we'll get into that too. | ||
unidentified
|
Right? | |
People are saying it's stolen valor because he claimed to be at war when he wasn't. | ||
He was in the military. | ||
And so, you know, I give him credit for that. | ||
I do respect military service greatly. | ||
And then as to the internals, whether people like or don't like him, who served, that's up to them. | ||
I've never served, so far be it for me to criticize someone who didn't serve, but I'll at least tell you what they said. | ||
Because I'll still give him respect for it, I will. | ||
Whether he did right or wrong internally, Agreed? | ||
You still earn points for having served. | ||
You know what I mean? | ||
Like a guy who actually went... You know, Tulsi Gabbard enlisted because of 9-11. | ||
She went out there because she wanted to help this country. | ||
I give her a 10 out of 10. | ||
I have such tremendous respect for her. | ||
It's why she was the candidate I was supporting most heavily back in the Democrat primaries. | ||
I was hoping the Democratic Party could return to sanity. | ||
Now Tulsi Gabbard's basically a Republican. | ||
I think she might be literally a Republican. | ||
And it's crazy to see, isn't it? | ||
But what is she? | ||
Is she a major in the National Guard? | ||
I don't know. | ||
She's got a promotion. | ||
I can't remember her exact rank. | ||
I just thought that was tremendous. | ||
Absolutely tremendous. | ||
Alright, we'll grab one more Super Chat here before we jump into the next story. | ||
Alright, Ryan O says, My daughter got her first popsicle board yesterday. | ||
Any advice on how to go up and down curbs? | ||
I've heard ollie or no comply. | ||
I'm not much of a helper as I never really skated. | ||
No beef. | ||
No beef! | ||
What do you mean? | ||
I love to hear it! | ||
Buy more skateboards for your kids! | ||
You know, I gotta tell you, skateboarding gives you some of the best life lessons in the world. | ||
You can't cheat. | ||
There's no cheating in skateboarding. | ||
There's creativity, there's physical activity, you are exercising, you are developing coordination, and you're learning hard life lessons. | ||
You can't cheat. | ||
You know, in Magic the Gathering, the card game, it's funny because I guess J.D. | ||
Vance plays that. | ||
Would love to play a game of Commander with him. | ||
People cheat all the time. | ||
It's ridiculous, the amount of cheating that goes on in this community. | ||
It's disgusting. | ||
Shuffling to set cards on top of the deck, hoping you get away with it. | ||
I do that all the time. | ||
You can't cheat in skateboarding. | ||
You can lie. | ||
But guess what? | ||
When, uh, uh, what was it? | ||
Ryan Sheckler was like, I did a backside flip down El Toro. | ||
Everyone was like, what? | ||
B.S. | ||
And then it turns out he almost did, but didn't. | ||
You see, you try to cheat, but people say, show me the video footage. | ||
That's skateboarding. | ||
You go to a skate park and say, I can drop in, then drop in, I don't wanna. | ||
No one's gonna believe you. | ||
So you gotta take those risks, you gotta learn those life lessons, and that's one of the reasons I think skateboarding's fantastic. | ||
Though, with the decline in the industry, it's resulted in scumbags, haters, and toxic garbage becoming the more prominent voices, and not because they're actually prominent, but because as the tide lowers, the scum gets revealed, and it's unfortunate, but we're gonna push back. | ||
All right, let's go. | ||
From the New York Post, Tim Walz, a coward and a traitor, retiring from the military before Iraq, says guardsmen who replaced the VP pick. | ||
Tim Walz, the new VP candidate, apparently was saying that he had carried a weapon of war in war. | ||
But, well, according to numerous reports, he never actually served. | ||
He left, leaving his men behind. | ||
That's the criticism. | ||
In fact, in this story from MSN, They say VB picked Tim Walz accused of stolen valor by former military colleagues. | ||
He abandoned us. | ||
I gotta tell you, this is gonna be a wild election. | ||
The Democrats could have chosen Josh Shapiro. | ||
And you know why they didn't? | ||
Look at this one. | ||
CNN panel explodes as ex-Bush adviser claims Kamala Harris couldn't pick Josh Shapiro due to rampant anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party. | ||
I gotta say, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz do this rally in PA with Josh Shapiro opening it up, and he was fiery. | ||
He was great. | ||
He really was. | ||
I don't agree with them. | ||
I don't like the policies these Democrats want to enact, but the dude could speak. | ||
unidentified
|
And they didn't pick him because he's Jewish! | |
You're not going to convince me for a second otherwise. | ||
Progressives wrote a letter being like, his position on Israel, Okay, fine. | ||
You can criticize Israel. | ||
I'm not saying that. | ||
unidentified
|
But I think we all know the real reason. | |
He tried to apologize for his pro-Israel views. | ||
It didn't matter. | ||
They're not going to pick the guy. | ||
Tim Walz, however... Let me pull this one up because apparently Tim Walz is a ceasefire guy. | ||
I pulled this one up in the previous segment. | ||
Let's pull this up from the forward so we can talk about it and see what they have to say. | ||
Because he's faced backlash over his Israel positions. | ||
There's another article saying that he was of the ceasefire notion. | ||
And I'm not saying it's right or wrong. | ||
I'm saying, you know, a lot of the pro-Israel groups that have worked to oust Bowman and | ||
Cori Bush are going to be lining up against Kamala Harris and Waltz, and that gives Trump | ||
a large advantage, for better or for worse. | ||
The New York Post reports, when Minnesota Governor Tim Walz chose to leave the military | ||
on the eve of his deployment to Iraq, Thomas Behrens went in his place, quote, and he did | ||
hit the ground running and take care of the troops and tell them we were going to war, | ||
Behrens said of the 500 soldiers under his command. | ||
For a guy in that position, the quit is cowardice. | ||
Wow. | ||
Barron, a 63-year-old farmer in Brewster, Minnesota, called the Democratic vice presidential candidate a traitor for retiring from their Minnesota National Guard unit just before the deployment to Iraq in 2005. | ||
When your country calls, you are supposed to run to battle, not the other way. | ||
The retired command sergeant told the Post Tuesday. | ||
He ran away. | ||
It's sad. | ||
He had the opportunity to serve his country, and he said, screw you to the United States. | ||
That's not who I would pick to run for vice president. | ||
Yikes. | ||
Here's a picture of him. | ||
This is when Democratic Vice President-Elect Tim Walz retired from the National Guard on the eve of his battalion's deployment to Iraq in 2005. | ||
Tom Barons Above took his place as Command Sergeant Major overseeing 500 troops. | ||
They say Barons Above called Walz a coward, and here's a picture of him. | ||
You know what I like? | ||
What I don't like? | ||
The American people being lied to to enter foreign wars we should not be involved in in Iraq and Afghanistan. | ||
I never blame the troops. | ||
The chain of command, depending on the level and depending on their involvement, the generals, the politicians, I blame them. | ||
But the people on the ground who said to themselves, this country needs my help and I will give it. | ||
I have nothing but the utmost respect. | ||
It is but for these people that I get to be a wealthy internet whinger. | ||
It's kind of crazy. | ||
When I was younger, I never liked the idea that pro baseball players can make millions of dollars and firefighters can make tens of thousands. | ||
I'm like, baseball's great. | ||
It's entertaining. | ||
But firefighters every day go out there risking their lives. | ||
Not always due to fires, other things, ambulance assist. | ||
They are there to help and save the community. | ||
And the same is true for many police officers. | ||
Some cops are meter mates. | ||
I can respect that, too. | ||
Not everyone's running, you know, out to crimes. | ||
But I can't imagine having to deal with the dregs of society, and you get paid so little. | ||
It's a tough job. | ||
So when I learned of Tulsi Gabbard, and she said after 9-11, I thought, my country needs me, and I'm gonna enlist. | ||
And so many others did. | ||
That, I'm just like, man, we are lucky, aren't we? | ||
I am lucky that I can play the guitar, skateboard, play Magic the Gathering, turn on a camera, and complain on the internet, and I don't have to see combat, because you've got men and women in uniform, people like Tulsi Gabbard, and many others. | ||
And even this, I will give Tim Walz credit for joining, for being in as long as he did. | ||
I do respect that. | ||
I don't respect him leaving right away. | ||
Tulsi Gabbard was the young person who said, I will run headfirst into this. | ||
My country needs me. | ||
Tim Waltz was the guy who, with all due respect for actually having served in the National Guard, was the guy who said, Yikes! | ||
I don't want to go there. | ||
I'm out. | ||
And that I don't respect. | ||
I still give him that positive. | ||
You guys can be mad at me and argue, no, you know, and because the criticism and all that stuff. | ||
I'm gonna say on a scale of one to 10, you know, people who don't serve, you get none, you get a zero, okay? | ||
No disrespect. | ||
I'm just saying, you don't get any, any, any, any sacrifice points for the most part. | ||
Maybe you get a little bit depending on what your job is and what you've done in civil service. | ||
So like firefighters and police officers get a few points. | ||
Me, I take zero, zero points. | ||
I've done, I've done conflict and crisis reporting, And there's something in that of taking risks yourself to get news and reporting out, but I don't think that's worth it. | ||
Now, when you're a civil servant and you're saving lives, you earn points. | ||
When you join the military, you earn a lot of points. | ||
Tim Walz deserves that for having joined in any capacity. | ||
I do respect that. | ||
But Tulsi Gabbard and many others who served and actually stood their ground and said, I will do what I must for as long as I need to, I respect more than dropping out. | ||
They say Walt, 60, joined the National Guard after high school and served 24 years in the 1st Battalion. | ||
Again, I do respect that a lot. | ||
125th Field Artillery, rising to the rank of Command Sergeant Major, he retired in 2005, months after a warning order that the battalion would be deployed to Iraq to run for Congress. | ||
He was elected to office in 2006. | ||
On May 16th, 2005, Waltz quit, betraying his country, leaving the 125th Field Artillery Battalion and its soldiers hanging without its senior non-commissioned officer as the battalion prepared for war. | ||
I wouldn't say he betrayed his country. | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
Look, you know, with all due respect to Barons, who I respect substantially more than Waltz, No, he just abandoned his men. | ||
Serving in Congress, I can respect to a certain degree. | ||
I'm not a big fan of Congress. | ||
But leaving right when you knew your men needed you most and you were going to war? | ||
Yeah, I find that a bit despicable. | ||
I wouldn't call it stolen valor. | ||
We have this story from MSN. | ||
It's from Western Journal. | ||
It's a repost. | ||
They say Waltz, who announced he had a yacht, he served 24 years in the National Army. | ||
He reached the rank of Command Sergeant Major. | ||
The news account included praise from retired Army Lieutenant General Mark Hertling, who wrote on X that those who reach that rank know what they're doing. | ||
They uphold standards. | ||
They speak their minds to all ranks, private to generals. | ||
They're not afraid of getting bad news because they know how to fix things when they go wrong. | ||
Well, I don't know the details of Tim Walz's career wearing the cloth of the country, just the fact that he volunteered to serve and wore the CSM rank tells me a lot about him. | ||
Yeah, so I agree. | ||
Stolen Valor goes a little far. | ||
He served 24 years. | ||
I respect it. | ||
I do. | ||
I can't say that I've done anything near that serving my country. | ||
And so to all the men and women, no matter how long you did, four years, you were a private, you were a specialist, whatever, you deserve a substantial amount of respect for that. | ||
And I know, because I've lived on base housing a little bit, as I have family who have served, that not everybody in the Army thinks of themselves as a hero doing great personal sacrifice. | ||
To a lot of people, it's just a job. | ||
They were trying to find a job, they couldn't find one, they enlisted, they got a job. | ||
They served four years, they left. | ||
Still, I respect it. | ||
In September 2022, when Waltz was running for re-election as governor, independent Minnesota news outlet Alpha News quoted retired Command Sergeant Major Doug Julen saying Waltz abandoned his soldiers in 05. | ||
Julen, who retired from the Minnesota National Guard in 2012 with 35 years of service, described a backdoor deal that allowed Waltz to skip his unit's deployment to Iraq. | ||
He said Waltz insisted early in 2005 that he would be going on the deployment despite talk of running for Congress. | ||
Julen told Alpha News that Waltz confirmed I'm going forward with the deployment. | ||
Then out of nowhere in June, Tom Behrens is there as the new CSM. | ||
Julen said he was most upset with how it was handled because Waltz didn't come to him as Brigade Command Sergeant Major, the position he held at the time. | ||
He went around my authority to get out of the position. | ||
I probably would have told him, no, you're going on the deployment. | ||
Man. | ||
As soon as the shots were fired in Iraq, he turned and ran the other way and hung up his hat and quit, said Tom Behrens, a retired Command Sergeant Major. | ||
You know what I will say? | ||
If it's going to come down to who I'm going to defer to, I'll defer to the guys who went. | ||
I do not support the US involvement in Iraq or Afghanistan, but I don't blame the men and women in uniform who were falsely informed, we'll put it that way, by bad actors. | ||
I look at it this way. | ||
It is true that there is the banality of evil when it comes to individuals who are willing to follow orders and engage in bad behavior. | ||
If a police officer shuts down a woman's salon because he's told to, he knows he's shutting down an innocent person's salon. | ||
When cops in New York shut down churches, they know they're shutting down churches. | ||
They know what the First Amendment is. | ||
I don't think that applies to our service personnel who went to Iraq and Afghanistan. | ||
You expect war. | ||
You expect foreign conflict. | ||
And you expect the intelligence to be correct. | ||
So when we're told that Iraq had involvement, when we're told they have weapons of mass destruction, when we're told that there is a serious risk of terror attacks and we need to put an end to this because we were just attacked on 9-11, granted this is 03, I understand why people genuinely think you are doing the right thing, which is substantially different from shutting down a church. | ||
But it's tough. | ||
And I can certainly respect arguments that it's difficult to navigate these areas. | ||
Well, Mike Cernovich chimed in. | ||
He says, Tim Walz dodged a deployment and then lied about his military rank. | ||
This is a big deal. | ||
Minnesota media was able to cover it up. | ||
It flew totally under the radar. | ||
It's out there now, and it's a real scumbag-ish. | ||
He went on to say, Josh Shapiro was objectively a superior VP choice in every way. | ||
Under DEI policies, he couldn't be hired. | ||
Too Jewish for Democrats! | ||
It's funny because it's true. | ||
I love this. | ||
Someone responded saying, now you're claiming that an old white guy is a DEI hire? | ||
You have lost the plot. | ||
Cue the Kathy Newman meme. | ||
No, that's not what he's saying. | ||
He's a socialist. | ||
He's not a DEI hire, he's DEI ideology. | ||
Kamala Harris was the diversity hire, and I don't know why they're offended to say it. | ||
They talk about wanting diversity hires all the time. | ||
Take a look at this from the Daily Mail. | ||
CNN panel explodes as ex-Bush advisor claims Kamala Harris couldn't pick Josh Shapiro due to rampant anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party. | ||
Contributor Scott Jennings, a former staffer to George W. Bush, appeared to anger his fellow panelists after speculating Shapiro's religion was the primary reason for Harris excluding from the ticket. | ||
You know, that and maybe his just ethnicity and last name? | ||
But the conversation quickly spiraled into offhand comments about abortion and school lunches. | ||
Jennings initially claimed that Harris bowed down to the radical left by opting for Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. | ||
He speculated that by choosing Shapiro, who was Jewish, would have angered the extreme left wing of the party. | ||
He ain't wrong! | ||
Jenny, you have some great new reporting about the process, the vetting process that Tim Walz went through and the conversations that he had, including this moment. | ||
I don't rightly care about their 10 minute, you know, hemming and hawing. | ||
Maybe we can just jump to the middle and see if we can see what he has to say. | ||
The person who was not Jewish and not as talented and not Jewish. | ||
There was a... They've showed us who they are. | ||
Kamala Harris absolutely bowed down to the radical left in her party by not picking Shapiro, who is Jewish. | ||
There was a nasty campaign run against him. | ||
Everybody knows it. | ||
No one wants to admit it, but everybody knows it. | ||
And she wound up choosing the person who was not Jewish and not as talented and not from the state that she has to win. | ||
He did a nice job tonight. | ||
Everybody can see why he was the best choice, but she couldn't do it because the party is somewhat awash in anti-Semitism. | ||
unidentified
|
when he did what he did during. He's right. She needs PA. | |
The only explanation outside of their anti-Semitic that I could come up with is that they're | ||
actually losing in Minnesota and the polls are all lies. And so Minnesota is only light blue. | ||
The fear then with Ilhan Omar, for instance, being far left and angering Somali Muslims is | ||
that everybody's going to vote Trump because he seems the same rational choice. | ||
So Kamala says, we should pick Shapiro to try and win PA, but we are so far behind we could actually lose a lightly blue state. | ||
That may be. | ||
I gotta say, I think the reality is Shapiro has pro-Israel statements. | ||
That's not anything anti-Semitic in my opinion. | ||
However, a lot of these people are deeply anti-semitic. | ||
I genuinely think they don't like Jews. | ||
During the riots, to me, it was him saying, I don't have the strength or the character | ||
to stand up to this anarchy. | ||
So in two big decision points for this ticket, they've showed us they will always bow down | ||
to the radical left. | ||
So I think if you if you want to talk about normal to the normal people in this country, | ||
bowing down to the radical left is not normal. | ||
It shouldn't be normal and it should be a flashing red light to the normies of America | ||
that this is not the ticket for you. | ||
unidentified
|
You know, one of the big issues in this election is a woman's right to choose. | |
And guess what? | ||
I don't think that was fair. | ||
I think that segment actually was handled pretty well. | ||
I think he made his peace, and then they calmly respond with other issues. | ||
That's fine. | ||
But he's right. | ||
He's right. | ||
So I have not read this article from Forward. | ||
I do know that there's been a lot of conversations about Tim Waltz being more of a leftist when it comes to the Israel-Gaza situation. | ||
Forward writes, They say the decision to choose Waltz is expected to bring back to the Democratic ticket hundreds of thousands of people who vote uncommitted in the primaries to express outrage at the Biden administration's support of Israel in the face of ongoing attacks in Gaza after October 7th. | ||
The choice also avoids potential controversy over the other leading contender, Josh Shapiro, an observant Jew whose positions on Israel in a two-state solution have resurfaced recently. | ||
Along with the accusations that opposition to him is anti-semitic. | ||
The announcement comes two weeks after Democratic Party leaders endorsed Harris as their standard bearer. | ||
Blah blah blah, we know. | ||
They go on to say that, uh, what are Waltz's views? | ||
While compared to Harris, Shapiro, and Kelly, Waltz has no direct Jewish connections. | ||
American Jews are expected to overwhelmingly vote for the Democratic nominee, as they have historically. | ||
Progressives who cast uncommitted in the Democratic primaries this spring indicated they would be happier if Waltz was picked. | ||
They pointed to his remarks on CNN, which are 90% of Democratic electorate. | ||
In the state's presidential primary, participated in the protest to vote. | ||
They're asking to be heard, and that's what they should be doing. | ||
This is interesting. | ||
It's very interesting. | ||
I genuinely think they feared losing Minnesota. | ||
No joke. | ||
No joke. | ||
Because of all of the people on the progressive left who are voting uncommitted over the support for Israel. | ||
Now, Somali Muslims in Minnesota may not like Ilhan Omar because she is pro-LGBT leftist. | ||
And this is true. | ||
She was heavily slammed for it. | ||
I wonder if many of them are still going to be anti-Israel. | ||
They may just support Tim Walz because he is more critical of Israel. | ||
More importantly, they may have been thinking, We're doing well in Minnesota. | ||
We're probably going to win. | ||
We need Pennsylvania. | ||
But if we choose Josh Shapiro, we lose Minnesota. | ||
That could be a real consideration. | ||
It's just so sad to be completely honest. | ||
Now, Charlie Kirk's got a tweet here. | ||
He says, Take a listen. | ||
Tim Walz's virtue signals about atoning for his privilege as a white man. | ||
For Walz, his atonement included overt Jim Crow-style racial discrimination in healthcare. | ||
The Democrats have picked a very, very radical man to run for vice president. | ||
Take a listen. | ||
We pat ourselves on the back sometimes that we acknowledge we have the worst racial disparities. | ||
I understand that the privilege I've been given as a white man and the privilege of | ||
sitting in the office of governor, that privilege had better be used to not just talk about | ||
the problem, but to solve the problem. | ||
Oh Oh, my friends, you know, out here in Appalachia, you can't walk a stone's throw without bumping into a white man who wants to use his privilege. | ||
Lamenting the color of his skin, he wants to help those who have been negatively impacted by cis-heteronormative patriarchy. | ||
Yeah, not really. | ||
I can't imagine the Rust Belt is gonna be like, you're right, Tim Waltz! | ||
We white men need to use our privilege to help everyone else. | ||
I'm pretty sure the reason why Donald Trump chose J.D. | ||
Vance, Hillbilly Elegy, is that there's a lot of people who are white who are suffering. | ||
Did you know that the racial group with the highest amount of poverty is white people? | ||
unidentified
|
Why? | |
Because there's more white people. | ||
You got a lot of poor white people, I'll tell you. | ||
Actually being in Appalachia. | ||
People are suffering. | ||
And you know what I'm not a fan of? | ||
I get it, man. | ||
Far be it from me to tell you you can't have your hotspots out here in West Virginia, but it does break my heart that I drive down the road and what do I see? | ||
I see like 15 hotspots. | ||
A hotspot in West Virginia is a... it's a... it's a... light bar for drinking. | ||
They usually have beer. | ||
And slot machines. | ||
And that's it. | ||
And people go there, and they buy a drink, and they just hit the slot machine button. | ||
There's so many of these. | ||
Now, I can respect wanting to hang out with friends at a bar and a pub, and we have those too, but it does kind of freak me out that West Virginia has so many hotspots. | ||
Look, I gotta tell you. | ||
It funds the state. | ||
I'm sure the state is happy with all the money being dumped into these machines. | ||
But people need money to invest in and expand West Virginia, too. | ||
That's just West Virginia, don't get me wrong. | ||
There's parts of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Ohio. | ||
But West Virginia is basically Appalachia. | ||
That being said, these poor white folk who are looking for better lives, who have lost purpose in their lives, they're not going to come out and be like, white privilege! | ||
They're going to be like, I can't afford anything. | ||
They're gonna say, my community is suffering from the fentanyl crisis. | ||
That's bad out here. | ||
And we're trying to solve these problems. | ||
They're gonna say, we need internet, we need roads. | ||
They're not gonna walk out and say, well, because I'm white, you should give the internet to somebody else. | ||
That is a ridiculous candidate to choose. | ||
Boy, oh boy. | ||
I got a couple other tweets. | ||
Tim Waltz signed a bill redefining the term sexual orientation to include pedos. | ||
Oh man, this one's too brutal. | ||
This was a big controversy. | ||
I remember when it happened. | ||
The original law said sexual orientation does not include a physical or sexual attachment to children by an adult, and they removed that. | ||
unidentified
|
Why? | |
That's weird. | ||
They want to say J.D. | ||
Vance is weird, but yo, this is weird. | ||
Maybe weird's not the right answer. | ||
Maybe it's degenerate and obvious. | ||
We know exactly why they do these things and what it results in. | ||
But my friends, here we are. | ||
AI study reveals how Kamala Harris has overtaken Donald Trump in the battle for positive headlines. | ||
This was always the game, right? | ||
In this country... | ||
You and I are beset on both sides by individuals who are either intentionally lying to steal power, the people who are smart enough to manipulate, and the stupid people who believe the lies. | ||
Now, I don't blame the stupid people for being stupid. | ||
It's sad. | ||
But the smart people who know they're lying, now I blame them. | ||
And that's the, what I mean is, on the bell curve, the average American who's paying attention and understands what's going on and actually checks the news to figure out how they can make their lives better have got stupid people voting against them and wealthy elites lying to the stupid people to whip everybody up and make it impossible for us to improve this country because they want to extract power as the Titanic sinks. | ||
And this is the game they're playing. | ||
U.S. | ||
news sentiment. | ||
Now that Joe Biden is out, everybody loves Kamala Harris. | ||
And that's the game they were always intending on playing. | ||
So we can expect to see only the nicest things written about Tim Walz. | ||
It's going to be up to independent media to call out their lies. | ||
I do want to stress this one bit, which we will bring up in the next segment. | ||
Here's the website for Kamala Harris. | ||
They have no policies. | ||
They have none. | ||
They represent nothing. | ||
They will do nothing. | ||
I mean, they'll probably burn down the country intentionally, but... Harris-Waltz. | ||
No campaign policies. | ||
No stated goals. | ||
That's a cult, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
We'll wrap that segment up there. | ||
The next segment, of course, coming up at 4 p.m. | ||
We're going to talk about the market crashing and why this actually could signify a Donald Trump victory regardless of what we think about left or right-wing politics. | ||

It's been going smashingly. | ||

We're averaging maybe like 300k on YouTube, and then with the podcast platforms and segments, we're probably cracking over a million. | ||

So let's see what we got in the old superchat department. | ||
And then we'll jump to that Market is Crashing story. | ||
All right, here we go. | ||
Mike 9779 says, My home screen on YouTube had a 3 month old Timcast IRL episode at the top left where your live stream would normally show. | ||
Took me a bit to realize it was an old episode. | ||
Interesting. | ||
So is that how they did it? | ||
Everybody was getting recommended an old show thinking it was the current one or something like that? | ||
Yo, that's crazy. | ||
It didn't work! | ||
I think they realized it didn't work. | ||
Cooman says, YouTube CEO moans when he farts. | ||
I think it's a woman, but you know. | ||
Sir Crypto Conrad says, you need to bring Charles Hoskinson onto Timcast. | ||
He's huge into governance, libertarian crypto, and has a buffalo ranch. | ||
He will be great on your show. | ||
Sounds cool. | ||
I'm probably pronouncing your name wrong. | ||
Tim, speaking of YouTube censorship, did you see that Crowder has eight videos hit with strikes? | ||
He's supposedly off YouTube until the election. | ||
Never been a fan, but I hate to see it. | ||
I completely agree. | ||
I don't think that Crowder breaks the rules. | ||
I think he's cognizant of the rules. | ||
I think he does his show to the best of his abilities, but they intentionally try to restrict him. | ||
Well, you can only do so much. | ||
You can only do so much. | ||
Wolfenbach says that Spark and Logan Paul is when he notices the size of your wallet. | ||
He was the one who did the self-termination forest in Japan, just FYI. | ||
Look, Vice did the same thing. | ||
Granted, he showed a body. | ||
Maybe not a good idea. | ||
But he was just doing what Vice did. | ||
And so, he went too far with it, I guess. | ||
Let's go! | ||
What do we have to see? | ||
Downy. | ||
Says, Harris doesn't need policy to win. | ||
She's the anybody but candidate. | ||
Biden was the anybody but Trump. | ||
Harris is just the anybody but Biden candidate. | ||

Yep. | |
SSR's Garage says, when you comment on this live, there's a warning that by commenting, people will know you subscribe. | ||
Yes, I have set all of my shows that you must be a subscriber to comment. | ||
Why? | ||
It reduces brigading. | ||
You must be a subscriber for at least five minutes if you want to comment in the chat or super chat because it stops brigades. | ||
People will set up live streams to attack other live streams. | ||
It's against the rules, but YouTube doesn't do a lot about it. | ||
And they'll try to wreak havoc and disrupt the chat and make it impossible for people to talk. | ||
Theron Nett says, Tim, the veteran podcast Speak the Truth goes into a deep dive Walt's betrayal of his chain of command and why what he did is a huge deal for vets. | ||
Interesting. | ||
Depro says Weirdo Waltz was selected to shore up Minnesota, Michigan. | ||
They'll campaign hard in PA. | ||
Internal polling probably bad. | ||
Shapiro would have helped PA but hurt the other two. | ||
I agree. | ||
Brad Peter says Waltz never was a sergeant major. | ||
He dropped out of the requisite school and held a billet until his paperwork caught up with him. | ||
West Central Tribune has the story from 2018. | ||
He's a snake. | ||
Man, that's dirty. | ||
Very dirty. | ||
All right. | ||
Kyle says, as a veteran, joining in peacetime is just a meal ticket. | ||
Joining and staying during war takes balls, something Waltz lacks. | ||
Huck Finn also how Camila fill a stadium with no marketing and advertising. | ||
And that's totally agree. | ||
Like, Tulsi Gabbard, I know I'm using her as the example, because she's the only one I really have the best one, said, Hey, oh, man, we were attacked. | ||
I got to join. | ||
Waltz was like, Oh, man, they want me to go fight. | ||
I'm out. | ||
Regardless, regardless, tell me I'm wrong. | ||
I still think anybody deciding to enlist deserves some respect, right? | ||
You do. | ||
That's just me. | ||
Maybe I'm wrong. | ||
I'm not a fan of the guy. | ||
We can criticize him for his bad things, but I'll always give someone respect for joining up in any time. | ||
Sure, you get more when you join during wartime. | ||
That's brave. | ||
But, you know, in any capacity, I respect it. | ||
There's work to be done. | ||
in peacetime to ensure we don't enter wartime. | ||
Is it easier? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Still respectful. | ||
Respectable. | ||
Let's get to that next story. | ||
From Politico.com, everything was going Kamala Harris' way. | ||
Then came the market sell-off. | ||
I love this because you've got two worlds about it in the corporate press. | ||
That the economy is rebounding. | ||
Take that, Donald Trump! | ||
And the others being like, uh, the economy is tanking. | ||
Just because the market rebounded a little bit doesn't mean you're going to be doing well. | ||
So I have to wonder. | ||
I was looking at, say, Moody's Analytics, and boy, were they predicting Joe Biden was going to win. | ||
All of these people were like, despite market conditions, Joe Biden's a shoo-in for victory in 2024, and then Biden quit. | ||
I want to stress this for everybody listening. | ||
He had a debate with Donald Trump that went so poorly, he dropped out. | ||
Donald Trump crushed Joe Biden, to such an absurd degree, that Biden actually quit? | ||
Wow! | ||
Talk about a great debate performance. | ||
My favorite line, of course, was when Donald Trump was like, Joe Biden starts muttering and confused and says, we beat, we beat Medicare. | ||
And then Trump goes, you did beat Medicare. | ||
You beat it to death. | ||
Wow. | ||
Quick wit. | ||
I have to say, however, my real favorite line, outside of politics, was when Trump nearly fell off the stage hearing that Joe Biden had a six handicap. | ||
He was like, what? | ||
A six! | ||
Dude, we've had a bunch of people on the show. | ||
I can't remember who it was, but they were like, I've been playing golf my whole life and I'm like a 20. | ||
There's no way Joe Biden's a six handicap. | ||
It just basically means you're really good. | ||
Donald Trump was like flabbergasted. | ||
No! | ||
And then Biden tried to change it. | ||
Maybe an eight. | ||
All right, here we go. | ||
Politico says, quote, we cannot win if people think we're headed into a recession. | ||
One Democratic National Committee member said, let it be said, my friends, the economy has favored so miserably, Kamala may not be able to win. | ||
Now, what I see here is even with the bad economy, the strategy of Kamala Harris is offer up no policies. | ||
Try and win on just cultism. | ||
And then the other issue is try and act like you're not currently in government. | ||
They keep acting like Trump's the president. | ||
It is the weirdest thing. | ||
These people are mentally deficient. | ||
Let me stress, these people, Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and their ilk, are cognitively deficient individuals of ill repute. | ||
I keep it academic. | ||
That's not what I said on X. I said something a bit more direct. | ||
But you get my drift. | ||
They're acting like Donald Trump is currently the president. | ||
Dude hasn't been in any political office since he left. | ||
And they're saying, well, Donald Trump's doing this and he's refusing to do that. | ||
Huh? | ||
You're the vice president, Kamala. | ||
Waltz, you're the governor of Minnesota. | ||
What are you talking about? | ||
These problems are your fault. | ||
You got people posting summer of love riots in Minnesota, and these Democrats are like, who was the president at the time? | ||
What? | ||
Yo, man, how do you vote when people are so stupid? | ||
Or evil? | ||
You want Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act? | ||
Okay, fine. | ||
Screenshot those tweets, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
When Donald Trump wins, we're going to say, well, you guys wanted the Insurrection Act. | ||
That's what the president can do when these riots are happening. | ||
Otherwise, the governor calls in the National Guard. | ||
That's waltz. | ||
Politico says Democrats aren't ready for the Kamala Harris honeymoon to end. | ||
Monday's stock market plunge is reminding them that it can't last forever. | ||
The global stock market tumbles represented a dramatic reversal from the cooling inflation and steady growth economists had been heralding in recent weeks. | ||
It's also an unnerving reminder to Democrats on the eve of Harris's vice presidential pick that public gloominess over the economy could hurt the campaign. | ||
William Owen, a Democratic National Committee member from Tennessee, called the market slide a tremendously huge problem for the Harris campaign. | ||
He sent campaign and party officials an email on Friday calling for President Joe Biden or Harris to urge the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, then followed up again after seeing the futures on Monday. | ||
Yeah, he's like, the economy is collapsing. | ||
You're going to lose, please. | ||
This action is equally important. | ||
Equally as important as who the VP is, Owen wrote. | ||
We cannot win if people think we are headed into a recession. | ||
Well, that is what people think, so good luck! | ||
Hey, here we go. | ||
What do we have here? | ||
Why did the stock market crash? | ||
And what's next from New York? | ||
New York Magazine, Intelligencer. | ||
So the stock market crashed. | ||
What's next? | ||
That's a headline for you, Biden and Kamala. | ||
Another reason why they're pulling Kamala out. | ||
I'm sorry, pulled out, pulling her out as the nominee. | ||
I mean, like pulling her out of the bag. | ||
What I meant to say is why they pulled Joe Biden out. | ||
It's gone so miserably, and it will, that it's going to reflect negatively on him. | ||
I've long wondered if Joe Biden was a pariah candidate, the intention being they needed to reverse Trump policies for their international garbage agenda. | ||
Trump was helping bolster America, but they want to hurt America. | ||
They do. | ||
They want to normalize economics between America and the European bloc so that you can more easily get about a one-world currency. | ||
Or something like Bitcoin could be normalized. | ||
Donald Trump making America stronger just is bad for their expansionism. | ||
So they knew they're going to have to hurt America, which would be bad for their plans. | ||
You put in Joe Biden, he screws everything up, you blame Joe Biden, you swap somebody else in. | ||
I think that may have been the play, that Joe Biden was always going to be a one-term candidate. | ||
Remember, when Biden was campaigning in 2020, he actually, initially they were reporting he'd be a one-term candidate to stop Trump, but then said, no, no, no, I'll be, I'll do two terms. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Well, my friends, major U.S. | ||
discount retailer to close as many as 315 stores as retail apocalypse gathers pace. | ||
Big Lots is closing 315 stores across multiple states, suffering from financial woes. | ||
You want to argue to me that the economy is going to improve and is doing well? | ||
Sorry. | ||
Nice try. | ||
And if you don't have the economy, I don't know how you win. | ||
Let's jump over to civics! | ||
Or is it civ IQs? | ||
I think it's civics. | ||
How would you rate the condition of the national economy right now? | ||
In general, across the board, 37% say it's very bad. | ||
27% say fairly good. | ||
23% say fairly bad. | ||
So we're looking at 60% in general of the American people think the economy is in some way bad. | ||
And only 37% think it's in any way good. | ||
But that doesn't matter, because I don't care what Democrats think. | ||
Look at this. | ||
Democrats think the economy is good because they're a cult. | ||
If you ask independents and Republicans, they're like, economy's not good. | ||
Now, why does that matter? | ||
My friends, the market literally crashed. | ||
And what does this mean? | ||
Well, Democrats are going to go, why do I care about billionaires and their stocks? | ||
It's their 401ks. | ||
It's called retirements. | ||
It's called older people voting because their 401ks are getting crushed in this economy. | ||
It also means that when companies are doing bad and there's less money to spend, then everyone else's wages get depressed and inflation goes up, blah, blah, blah. | ||
You get it. | ||
You can't spend billions on foreign war and then also have a stagnant or decimated market and think you're going to make money and live more comfortably. | ||
But I tell you this, of Democrats, 71% think the economy is good. | ||
By what metric? | ||
Inflation is up. | ||
Unemployment is up. | ||
Inflation is outpacing wages. | ||
The market just took a hit, and there's no change! | ||
Because it's a cult. | ||
These people are in a cult. | ||
That's the only explanation. | ||
They're being told the economy is good, and they're going, okay. | ||
That's why Kamala and Tim Walz don't have any policy positions. | ||
Hey, let's go back to the real world. | ||
Let's ask Republicans. | ||
Now Republicans, I don't know, maybe they don't like Kamala Harris. | ||
65% say very bad. | ||
28% say fairly bad. | ||
Heavens to Betsy! | ||
We're looking at... 93% of Republicans are like, the economy is in the gutter! | ||
Only 6% think it is in any way good. | ||
Alright, well Republicans are going to vote Republican, right? | ||
So I'm not concerned about Democrats or Republicans. | ||
I want to know what the independent voter thinks. | ||
This one's important. | ||
Because the independent voter is who is going to help the other party win. | ||
What say you independent voters? | ||
Duh! | ||
They think the economy is bad. | ||
I don't even need to wait for it to load to tell you that independent voters think it's bad. | ||
42% very bad. | ||
26% fairly bad. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
So how about that? | ||
68% of independent voters, 2 to 1, think the economy is bad. | ||
If 2 to 1 independents vote Republican because the Biden administration, the Biden-Harris administration, has flubbed everything up, congratulations, Donald Trump wins. | ||
Now we don't know for sure because there will be a shadow campaign. | ||
We'll see how that all plays out. | ||
But I'm curious. | ||
Of all voters, let's try 18 to 34. | ||
Gen Z, 67% think the economy is bad. | ||
When people think the economy is bad, they vote the other guy. | ||
But I wonder if Gen Z is just a generation of cult, or they're going to be the voters that, it's actually 18 to 34, it's Gen Z and millennial. | ||
So we will see. | ||
35 to 49, surprise surprise, still overwhelmingly think the economy is bad. | ||
With 38 saying very bad, 24 saying fairly bad. | ||
To be fair, 35% think it's good, but it's still 2 to 1. | ||
50 to 64 think the economy is bad. | ||
That's right, 60%. | ||
60% to 38, which does change things. | ||
65 plus actually gets pretty split. | ||
Still leaning towards being bad. | ||
We can take a look at net good and see it's a minus 6 net good, meaning they don't like it. | ||
They don't like it, but it's only by a thin margin. | ||
The interesting thing about this is the one demographic that truly believes the economy is really great, I think, is black voters, with 45% saying fairly good. | ||
When you look at white voters, they say it's bad. | ||
Hispanic and Latino still think it's mostly bad. | ||
And other still think it's mostly bad. | ||
So, uh, I want to do this. | ||
I want to do this. | ||
When it comes to economic factors to determine who the president may be, because this matters, it's the economy, stupid, right? | ||
Well, why don't we just take a look at what Moody's thinks? | ||
Moody's analytics election prediction shows Biden winning in a nail-biter. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh! | |
Okay, guys. | ||
Good prediction. | ||
Now, to be fair, it was back in February. | ||
Fine. | ||
Well, here we go. | ||
Do you think the nation's economy is getting better or worse? | ||
Across the board, you have 51% say getting worse, 28% say getting better, and 18% stay with the same. | ||
Democrats, of course, think it's getting better because it's a cult. | ||
The economy is good and getting better. | ||
Did you just watch the market crash? | ||
Did you see the jobs numbers? | ||
No, they don't watch the news. | ||
This is proof. | ||
Let this be your proof, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
The reports came out. | ||
The job numbers are down. | ||
Horrifying. | ||
Unemployment is up. | ||
Inflation is up. | ||
And Democrats are like, things are getting better. | ||
Why would they think that? | ||
Because it's a cult. | ||
They don't pay attention to the news and they just believe whatever they're told to believe. | ||
Republicans, of course, know the economy is getting worse. | ||
There's no question. | ||
The market just crashed. | ||
It's like, duh. | ||
That's the definition of getting worse. | ||
And independent voters also largely believe the economy is getting worse. | ||
But independent voters lean either Democrat or Republican. | ||
When we see actually that it's about two to one, that it's actually a little bit more than two to one, getting worse as opposed to getting better, then unsurprising. | ||
Unsurprising. | ||
I think this is indicative of, in a fair election, a Donald Trump victory. | ||
And then, of course, we've got inflation. | ||
Now, they won't give us the full data on inflation without spending money, and this is the free results they give you. | ||
66% of this country are very concerned. | ||
Very concerned about inflation. | ||
So I ask you all, my friends, what's your predictions based on the economy right now? | ||
In February, Newsweek said 2024 election map predicts Joe Biden will beat Trump by an even bigger margin. | ||
I love it, because I highlighted in the first segment at the beginning of the show how in September of 2023, I said Biden will drop out. | ||
I didn't say he might drop out, and I was thinking about, really? | ||
Because I try to keep it news-focused in the headlines and not so much opinion-focused, usually. | ||
So, I don't know, how did I do today? | ||
I said, um, far left, Cori Bush lost, Ilhan Omar is next, Tim Walz is accused of stolen valor. | ||
Far left, perhaps more of an opinion statement, but all of those things in the headline are what happened. | ||
She lost, Ilhan Omar is next, and Walz is accused of stolen valor. | ||
Usually when I'm crafting headlines for any video or show, I try to make it a straight up, like, this thing did happen, right? | ||
That day, I was thinking to myself, I'm like, no way, man. | ||
Joe Biden's gonna drop out. | ||
It's impossible. | ||
And I thought, I'm gonna do an opinion headline. | ||
I'm so sure of myself on this one. | ||
I said, Biden will drop out. | ||
The news story was that Nancy Pelosi said he might. | ||
So I could have thought that Pelosi says Biden may drop out of race. | ||
But I just, in my brain, I was like, he's dropping out. | ||
And so I decided, we're going full opinion on this one. | ||
Biden's gonna drop out. | ||
That's my opinion. | ||
That's what I think is gonna happen. | ||
Nailed it. | ||
I was a little unsure of myself as time went on, because by March he hadn't, and I was like, it's probably too late. | ||
But we can see how they mustered this one up. | ||
Setting up their phone call for Kamala Harris. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
Well, you get it, you get it. | ||
Predicting Joe Biden was gonna win. | ||
They're gonna keep saying it, but I gotta tell you, money talks and BS walks, okay? | ||
If they can win in an economy like this, then I'm gonna just outright say it's rigged. | ||
That's it. | ||
Now we can talk about shadow campaigns, rigging the election, whatever you want to talk about, I'm just saying, how an incumbent administration, I know she's not the incumbent, but it's an incumbent administration, how they could win with an economy this bad, I cannot see it. | ||
I just can't. | ||
So we'll wrap this one up there, my friends. | ||

Next segment will be coming up at 6 p.m. | ||
on this channel. | ||
The next segment will be The Democrats turned to influencers to get their message out. | ||
Twitch streamer Kai Senet says he's rejected multiple requests from Kamala Harris. | ||
I don't give an F. They really trying. | ||
This dude went off. | ||
Shout out. | ||
Thanks for hanging out, and we'll see you all in the next segment. | ||
But for everybody else, we're going to read your super chats before jumping into that last little bit. | ||
And let's grab some super chats. | ||
Joseph says, dude, I can't find your stream even when searching for it. | ||
I have to go to your YouTube page to find it. | ||
I also have my notification set up. | ||
Nothing. | ||
Gee, I wonder. | ||
Legit, I think. | ||
No, no, no, I know. | ||
When we first started this show, we were getting substantially, I should say Tim Castile, way more views. | ||
We were getting over a million every night. | ||
Combined live viewership, podcast, YouTube, and everything. | ||
To be fair, it was 2020, everybody was locked down, so that may be the reason. | ||
But looking at retention time, I can tell you this. | ||
One thing I can tell you for sure is that the initial launches of this show and IRL, when I do live streams on this show, on this channel, the viewer duration was lower by a little bit. | ||
And the view count was higher. | ||
What does that mean? | ||
More people were tuning in and then leaving. | ||
But hold on. | ||
Likes were the same. | ||
Revenue was the same. | ||
And what does that mean? | ||
It means that with a lower retention time, more new audience members were being recommended the show, clicking it, and then leaving, as most of them would. | ||
And the core viewers would watch the whole thing. | ||
So your viewership time would go down. | ||
We've now seen average viewership time rising, which should result in the YouTube algorithm promoting the show more. | ||
But it doesn't. | ||
So it does look like they're trying to tiny room Shadowban the show. | ||
If they were to totally unrestrict this show, I'd be willing to bet we'd have 100k live. | ||
It would be massive. | ||
But what are you gonna do? | ||
What are you gonna do? | ||
Alright. | ||
Lord of the... Lord of the Re says, Harrets and Waltz equals no balls. | ||
It was really funny. | ||
It's kind of a weird thing how Democrats don't understand that men have balls. | ||
Because, like, J.D. | ||
Vance is sitting in his chair with his legs spread open, and AOC's like, why is he sitting like that? | ||
And it's like, have you ever been with someone? | ||
This is kind of weird to me. | ||
You know, legit. | ||
When we saw the video of the Try Guys, I think we should stop joking about this and take it seriously. | ||
Buzzfeed's Try Guys got their testosterone levels tested, and they had the T-levels of an 85-year-old man. | ||
Is it possible that many of these guys have microtestes? | ||
I am not being mean. | ||
I am not being rude. | ||
And so the women who are with these lefty guys don't understand that the male parts don't like to be squeezed like that? | ||
And so guys sit with their legs open because they kind of need to. | ||
But if you're a low T guy with microtestes that don't produce high testosterone, you will be more effeminate. | ||
You will be smaller, squeakier, and you'll sit with your legs closed. | ||
That issue. | ||
So AOC is probably around a bunch of low T guys. | ||
Again, I'm not being, I'm trying to be cute. | ||
I'm not trying to be cruel or insult them. | ||
I genuinely think that AOC—72% of millennial women vote Democrat, and they're surrounded by a bunch of low-testosterone guys who might have—and I mean this seriously—very small parts. | ||
So when these women are with them, they notice the guys crossing their legs and sitting with their legs closed, and then guys like Trump or J.D. | ||
Vance or, you know, Pastor John last night—yo, we can't sit like that! | ||
It, like, hurts, you know? | ||
I wonder. | ||
Seriously. | ||
I always find it really funny that the left claims to defend certain things. | ||
Like, they gotta defend felons. | ||
Then they attack Trump for being a felon. | ||
The funny thing right now is they're going for the weird thing. | ||
They're saying like, you're weird! | ||
Trump is weird! | ||
Andy Vance is weird! | ||
And a bunch of LGBTQ people are getting triggered and saying, stop calling people weird! | ||
It's triggering! | ||
Everyone calls me weird all the time! | ||
And they don't like being called weird, so they're saying stop. | ||
Let's grab a couple more Super Chats. | ||
Brad K says, hey Tim, heard you guys want to go to a baseball game sometimes. | ||
I am a minor league player here at Altoona PA and would love to host you and the crew sometime. | ||
Have someone from your crew hit me up on IG or X. Oh sweet! | ||
We love Altoona. | ||
It's fun. | ||
We went skating there at the skate park in Altoona. | ||
And I think we sent them some boards. | ||
Hope they got them. | ||
But that would be great. | ||
Baseball games are so much fun, you know? | ||
You just hang out with your friends. | ||
What we really want to do, though, is we want to get, like, a company. | ||
We want to get, like, a Skybox or whatever they're called, so we can all just, like, hang out and basically have, like, a company event where we're chillin' with family friends and friends of the show. | ||
People can have some beers and some hot dogs and burgers. | ||
And then the game is there, you know? | ||
You get to watch the game and have a good time. | ||
And, um, we're trying to figure out which team to go check out. | ||
Orioles or the Nationals? | ||
I don't know. | ||
What do you guys think? | ||
You tell me who you think we'd be better off watching. | ||
Nationals in DC or something? | ||
Nathan B says, on my second deployment, my Sergeant Major postponed his retirement to take us to war. | ||
He was killed on that deployment in 2005. | ||
Waltz is a coward and unfit to lead. | ||
RIP Sergeant Major Ellis. | ||
Wow, man. | ||
Sorry to hear. | ||
That's sad. | ||
My respect. | ||
Absolute respect. | ||
Postponed his retirement to be with his men and made the ultimate sacrifice. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
Robert DeVito says, Why are you called Summer of Love? | ||
Are you just distinguishing from the historical event with the word riot? | ||
P.S. | ||
You got extraordinarily angry with Elon the same day you started eating carbs again. | ||
With Elon? | ||
I got met at Elon. | ||
What was that about? | ||
Oh, but was that when Elon said that misgendering was allowed again? | ||
Is that what it was? | ||
A Summer of Love is a reference to the historic protests of 2020 when they forced the president into the bunker of the White House, set fire to the White House grounds, firebombed the White House grounds, ripped down the barricades, injured 100-plus officers and federal agents, and then tried to burn down St. | ||
John's Church. | ||
So like January 6, you have a word that references that moment and everything encompassing it. | ||
Summer of Love references the 30-plus deaths and the attack on the White House. | ||
But yeah, when Elon Musk reinstated the misgendering policy, yeah, I think I'm allowed to be mad about that. | ||
He walked it back halfway, so I walked my position back halfway. | ||
I didn't cancel our corporate account, but I also didn't launch the advertising campaign we were planning. | ||
All right, Brandon H says, Vivek has Mark Cuban on his Truth Podcast today at noon Eastern Time. | ||
Should be interesting. | ||
Perfect timing because that's when this show wraps. | ||
So definitely everybody check out Vivek's podcast once this one wraps up at noon. | ||
Very interesting. | ||
Accidentally Good says, I think that YouTube has two forms to reduce viewers, two forms, of music and content. | ||
First is normal shadow ban. | ||
Second is annoyance. | ||
When I'm not in the mood for Tom McDonald, I have to triple skip his songs. | ||
Yeah, saturation may be a strategy there. | ||
unidentified
|
All right. | |
Let's see. | ||
I got a message here. | ||
What is this? | ||
All right. | ||
unidentified
|
Sweet. | |
We got good news. | ||
We got good news. | ||
Let's see what's going on. | ||
Good news. | ||
Good news. | ||
Good things happen all around. | ||
We got some big news happening in skateboarding. | ||
I want to give a shout out to all of the toxic haters out there in skateboarding who don't understand skateboarding. | ||
I love this. | ||
I love this. | ||
This guy trying to start beef and drama. | ||
This guy, Weasel, we call him. | ||
Weasel! | ||
That's what they call him. | ||
At least that's what I'm told. | ||
They call the guy Weasel. | ||
Gifted hater. | ||
Apparently he's like desperately trying to come out to our skate park but just keeps ragging and ragging and ragging. | ||
Nah, we're not interested. | ||
We got big friends in the industry who are interested in expanding skateboarding and building up the culture. | ||
You know, me personally, I actually was a contractor working at the X Games with one of the organizations back in, like, what was this, 2010? | ||
I was there in 2005 with my friend, so long history there. | ||
Sorry, buddy. | ||
Look, man, I want to say this, too, about the whole skateboarding thing, what's going on with this controversy, just before we get into the last segment. | ||
I can certainly empathize with the guy who never made it, who tried his hardest, and this is who he is, okay? | ||
He tried his hardest, he put out a video part, he went nowhere. | ||
Instead of just accepting that not everybody makes it in pro sports, he decided to make a YouTube channel where he just is mean to everybody. | ||
He decided to be the definition of Sour Grapes. | ||
The idea that we'd invite someone like that to be a part of what we're doing, bro, you gotta turn it around. | ||
You gotta make good, positive stuff, you gotta encourage people to skate, stop ragging on people, stop being so mean and nasty, stop attacking those who are trying to do their best, and maybe then you'll be welcomed into the fold. | ||
But I tell you this, it's Sour Grapes. | ||
The dude, he says enough, he does enough to get an audience, and that's his talent? | ||
And with respect, takes talent to do? | ||
Certainly not a skateboarding talent. | ||
It's just being a mean guy. | ||
And we don't want that here. | ||
We got millions of dollars to invest in skateboarding, okay? | ||
Doing events, we've got pledges from new companies. | ||
So I'll give a shout out in that regard that when this guy comes on his show and starts screaming and ranting, maybe I'll do an update video on it or something, on youtube.com slash timcast for cultural stuff. | ||
I just got a text from one of the biggest names in skateboarding right now because of this guy's hatred. | ||
And they hate him. | ||
They hate this guy. | ||
Gifted hater. | ||
That's his YouTube channel. | ||
Check him out. | ||
I mean, by all means. | ||
I don't care if you guys watch him. | ||
They're saying like, haha, you're giving him a platform. | ||
That's fine. | ||
But the industry despises this guy. | ||
And I wish that somebody who could actually generate influence in the industry did it in a positive way that encouraged skateboarding. | ||
By all means, be a scumbag. | ||
All it's doing is boosting our follower count. | ||
I'm getting hit up left and right by skate companies because everybody hates this guy. | ||
And then the dregs of the internet are like, haha, he's so great. | ||
Yeah, but doesn't matter. | ||
Because all that means is now we got more pledges for our private park, for our public park. | ||
Do your thing, man. | ||
Anyway, anyway. | ||
Let's get to the news! | ||
We got this one from BoundingIntoComics. | ||
Twitch streamer Kai Sinat says he's rejected multiple stream requests from Kamala Harris, her presidential campaign, saying, I don't give an F. This is creepy stuff. | ||
I don't see Trump doing this. | ||
He may be, but I don't know that he is. | ||
No one's complaining about it. | ||
I've not had anyone from the Trump campaign offer us any money. | ||
And I'm kind of like, hey, hey, hey, why not? | ||
You know, what if the Trump campaign came out and said, hey, why don't you guys post pro-Trump stuff and we'll pay you? | ||
I wouldn't take it. | ||
But I'm just saying, Trump ain't seemingly doing this, I guess. | ||
But I'll also point out too, for TimCast shows like for this one and for IRL, never accept money for appearances. | ||
I can't tell you how many times we've gotten people offering to give us money. | ||
Uh, hey, we'd like to sponsor the show! | ||
And I said, great! | ||
Here's our ad rates for a sponsor read, we rarely do them, so the only available dates will be like this, and for that, it's a premium, and they go, great, here's what we want. | ||
We come on the show as the guest, and they go, eh, have a nice day. | ||
Never happening. | ||
We will never, never accept money for a guest slot on Tim Cast IRL. | ||
Never gonna happen. | ||
Now, many streamers on the left would gladly take the money from the likes of the Kamala Harris campaign, and they'll justify it. | ||
They'll say, but I like Kamala Harris. | ||
I want her to win. | ||
So it's win-win. | ||
I'll tell you what I'll do. | ||
YouTube can automatically put ads on this channel for Kamala Harris. | ||
I welcome them to do it, because the people watching these videos ain't gonna be swayed to Kamala Harris, and then they're gonna watch me rag on her all the same. | ||
I welcome the debate, and thanks for the money. | ||
Here's the story. | ||
Massively popular Twitch streamer Kai Sinat has claimed to have received multiple stream requests from Kamala Harris' presidential campaign, all of which he supposedly rejected because he does not give an F about politics. | ||
Sinat revealed that Harris' campaign's apparent interest in partnering with him during an August 6 livestream. | ||
Which, for reference purposes, was titled, Bought a New House, House Tour, Click Here, Elite Gamer, Biggest Dwarf Athlete. | ||
Therein, per a montage of clips taken from Livestream, which as of writing is still currently in progress, and assembled by the internet content aggregator Fearbuck, The streamer amidst an angry outburst revealed, on top of that, I got the effing Secret Service calling me five times! | ||
I don't know GD-ish about politics, I don't know nothin'! | ||
Yeah, hey, I'ma keep it a stack, he added. | ||
I'ma go ahead and say it, I don't give an eff, okay? | ||
Providing further details on the widespread effort to use a celebrity to try and grift votes of younger Americans. | ||
To net further detail, listen. | ||
I had a bad bee that I had been trying to get on, like, for, like, the last three, the last two years. | ||
I haven't spoken to in, like, a year. | ||
I haven't spoke to this girl in so GD long. | ||
And she had the audacity to text me, we need you a part of the campaign. | ||
At first I thought she was talking about a game, a video game, like a modern warfare game or some ish. | ||
Or if not that, a clothing brand. | ||
I'm like, what campaign? | ||
However, following a brief tease of shorty gonna say, Sinet then laughed and admitted, ha, we not gonna get into details. | ||
Return to the general topic of the Harris campaign outreach. | ||
I'm going to say it right now. | ||
If this someway, somehow, something happens and I go into streaming politics, I'm going to be 100% honest. | ||
I'm going to sit on my stream and say, why did you guys call me? | ||
You know? | ||
Like, I don't know. | ||
I've never done anything about politics. | ||
All these blogs are like trying to say, yo, you got to do this, Ishkai. | ||
And it's all the top blogs. | ||
And I'm like, bro, since when? | ||
I like this guy. | ||
I don't care if it's Trump or Kamalov. | ||
The dude doesn't want to be in politics. | ||
Respect. | ||
Notably, when Sennett did not drop Harris' name specifically, given both the recency and seemingly desperation of the request made to him, it's easy to infer that Vice President is in fact a candidate seeking to partner with him. | ||
Interestingly, Sennette's revelation regarding the Harris's campaign's apparent attempt to reach younger voters by collaborating with a popular internet personality comes just one day after streamer Aiden Ross hosted former President Trump for an interview, which notably saw Ross give Trump both a Rolex Day-Date watch, about $40k minimum, and a Cybertruck, minimum $80k, on his own personal channel. | ||
Well, I'll stress this. | ||
Did Kysonet say that it was Kamala Harris specifically? | ||
Because they keep saying this. | ||
I mean, this is the report that it's Kamala Harris specifically. | ||
We have this, uh, fans demand sleepover stream with Kamala to counter Aiden's MAGAFest. | ||
This is why everybody's saying it was Kamala, because TMZ reported this. | ||
Kysonet petitioned to interview Kamala Harris after Aiden Ross. | ||
Fans apparently, now Kamala Harris has no choice but to do a stream with Kai Sinat. | ||
This is likely why he got a message from a girl and likely why, I think it's fair to say it was Kamala. | ||
Because he's getting just hit up by all these people. | ||
Well, here you go. | ||
This was also reported last night. | ||
Democrats turned to influencers to help share their message on social media. | ||
As social media feeds have become key battlegrounds in the race for the White House, Democrats are deploying a fleet of influencers to try to win over voters online. | ||
Awa Sanaa made a name for herself for beauty tips on TikTok when the 23-year-old posted a video of her White House bathroom break. | ||
Half a million followers took notice. | ||
I was just shocked. | ||
I was like, did you see that marble? | ||
Sanaa was one of a few dozen social media influencers who were invited to the White House to watch the State of the Union address and meet President Biden. | ||
He said to us, like, The collective presence in this room has more viewership on Gen Z than all of traditional media combined. | ||
She first heard from Democratic super PACs, and then the Biden administration, after posting a video following the fall of Roe v. Wade went viral. | ||
They started inviting me to their White House briefings on abortion rights, reproductive rights, Santa said. | ||
On the right, TPUSA has mobilized influencers for years, raising nearly $200 million since 2020. | ||
To be fair, TPUSA is independent though, but they're pro-Trump for sure. | ||
Now Democratic organizations are flooding the crater community with cash and providing behind-the-scenes access. | ||
We just have to be working with them, and if not, we're missing a huge way that voters are getting information about the world, said Rob Flaherty, who ran digital strategy in the Biden White House and now for the presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris. | ||
He called the highly memeable Harris... | ||
Not in a good way, dude! | ||
A massive asset as the campaign reaches out to thousands of influencers. | ||
Here's a thought for you guys. | ||
Did you see that New York mag of Kamala on the coconut? | ||
I'm gonna pull that one up. | ||
Kamala Coconut and Coconut Tree Meme. | ||
Where's the... It was New York Magazine, wasn't it? | ||
It's not popping up. | ||
There we go. | ||
Is this the... Oh, man. | ||
I can't believe they made this. | ||
Are they really now? | ||
Is it really... They're making it hard to find this. | ||
Let's do this. | ||
Let's do X.com. | ||
Why is everyone talking about coconut trees, coconut tree magazine cover? | ||
They're really trying to make it hard to find this. | ||
This is wild. | ||
I gotcha though. | ||
I gotcha. | ||
Let me tell you something. | ||
New York mag putting Kamala Harris on a giant coconut. | ||
Everybody started posting a dung beetle on a giant piece of dung. | ||
Did you notice they made her head really big? | ||
I'm just wondering why they made her head really big. | ||
You want to talk about memeable? | ||
Just, here's what you do. | ||
Anytime there's a video clip or picture of Kamala, Photoshop her head to be slightly bigger. | ||
Just a little bit. | ||
Just a little bit bigger. | ||
So it's noticeably large compared to her body, but you don't really notice completely. | ||
Just make her head a little bit bigger. | ||
That's what the New York Magazine did. | ||
It's clearly not her body. | ||
They photoshopped her head onto this body, but they made her head really big! | ||
It's very strange. | ||
Also, I love the... | ||
Anger and dancing? | ||
Down by the Democrats on the bottom? | ||
I don't know, it's very silly. | ||
You want to call that memeable? | ||
I call that memeable. | ||
They're going to say in May, Future Forward, the super PAC supporting Harris, hosted panels like Gaming the Algorithm and How Advocacy Can Benefit Your Business. | ||
A spokesperson for the PAC did not respond to a request for comment. | ||
Siné said that she was hired last month by Protect Our Care, a progressive advocacy group that relies on anonymous donors. | ||
She made a video warning about Trump's second term agenda and that she says the group helped her script. | ||
Okay, well to be fair, independent. | ||
If it's not the Democrat campaign, if Harris isn't doing it directly, then I don't think it's too dissimilar to what TPUSA or any other group may do in trying to work with influencers. | ||
While Siné would not say how much she's being paid, she did note a video just for a creator in my size, on average, can go from $3,000 to $10,000 and upwards. | ||
When it comes to hawking commercial products or sharing financial advice, federal rules require influencers to disclose when they are being paid. | ||
But in rulemaking last December, the Federal Election Commission voted against similar requirements for influencers spreading political messaging. | ||
I will warn you all of this, my friends. | ||
If you have a YouTube channel, Most of them require you to be a certified advertiser before making political election campaign ads. | ||
We're running an ad, a single ad, for TimCast IRL. | ||
Because I included the list of episodes which said the word Trump, they said you can't run the ad. | ||
I have to be a certified election advertiser to mention the word Trump in an ad. | ||
Even passively in the back corner, like not even part of the ad. | ||
So we just removed the episode details and just have me sitting in a chair. | ||
Probably could be more effective if we did it some other way. | ||
That being said, if you are paid by a political campaign, and you do an ad read on your show, you are subject to the same rules. | ||
You're an advertiser making a political ad. | ||
Your episode will get, you'll get a strike. | ||
So one thing people understand is that community guidelines on YouTube aren't the only rules for getting strikes. | ||
The advertiser guidelines apply to you as YouTubers all the same. | ||
I don't know about Twitch, but if a young leftist YouTuber does an ad for Kamala Harris paid and YouTube finds out, theoretically it's supposed to be a strike or a removal requiring you to submit your ID and your EIN and all of these things to get certified. | ||
That being said, I'm willing to bet that YouTube just looks the other way and lets them do it. | ||
Because that's the name of the game, isn't it? | ||
That's how they run these things. | ||
For now, her next stop is the Democratic National Convention, where she and other influencers have been invited to make more content. | ||
They just told us that if we wanted to put on our show, that they would give us all the resources to do that. | ||
Now I'd like to just ask, why did not the RNC do something similar? | ||
And I mean it. | ||
You don't gotta pay us, but we went to the RNC and we had an off-site location because we wanted to do a live show. | ||
It would have been impossible to do an on-site location, but the podcasts were in a separate building. | ||
They had three buildings. | ||
It was the Panther building, I think they called it, and that's where War Room was. | ||
So when I went to the RNC, and we were showing up, and I got all these personalities who were like, oh, Timcast is here. | ||
Like, hey, good to see you. | ||
Where's your show at? | ||
And I was like, oh, we're way off site at a different hotel. | ||
And I was asked like three times, what? | ||
Well, why didn't you just do the show here? | ||
And I was like, well, we couldn't. | ||
We didn't have the resources. | ||
And they're like, what do you mean? | ||
Like the RNC didn't offer Timcast IRL a space to do the show? | ||
And I was like, no. | ||
People were actually shocked. | ||
The assumption was, and I'm not saying we deserve it, what I'm saying is, I've talked to a lot of people, because I didn't even think about it, who were shocked that corporate press were given all of these special boxes overseeing the convention, and TimCast IRL was not there at all, was not offered a space, was not asked to be there, was not offered up guests, and I'm like, yeah, no, we did everything on our own. | ||
Don't get me wrong, Laura Trump was fantastic and she did, in the end, try to help us out and see if we needed space and all that stuff, but the assumption was shows like War Room, Jack Posobiec's show on human events, Tim Kast's IRL, or Steven Crowder, the assumption from a lot of people was that the RNC would have reached out to us and said, do your shows at the convention intentionally. | ||
I'd have said yes. | ||
If they said, we've got a booth for you In the convention hall, in the actual FISERF building, I would have been like, wow, let's roll. | ||
Then we would have had guests who were at the convention, we would have been live from 8 to 10, 7 to 9 central, but with the convention happening. | ||
With the convention, instead, we weren't. | ||
Now, one of the big issues for us was that Of the space that we could have gotten, we wanted to do a live show and we had people come out and pay for tickets to hang out with us. | ||
Mike Lindell was there and talk about everything in Milwaukee, which was an opportunity for people visiting the state for the RNC delegates to actually come. | ||
And so I think it worked out. | ||
We could have done that if we were at the actual RNC. | ||
But my question is, man, Republicans, stop being behind the curve. | ||
You know, the DNC is going to do this. | ||
And they're doing it now. | ||
So pay attention. | ||
This is what you got to do. | ||
My friends, I'm going to wrap up this segment here. | ||

Let's wrap up with the spiel. | ||
My friends... | ||
We are facing smear merchants, deceivers, and manipulators in the corporate press every single day, and their lackeys, who are democratically aligned media personalities who lie to win political power. | ||
Certainly, I think it is important that those of good merit and virtue win political power, but unfortunately for us, in this world, we have honor. | ||
And I know it's a good thing to have honor, but I say unfortunately because it means we're not going to lie, cheat, and steal in the same way, though they'll accuse us of it. | ||
If you think TimCast does a good job of pushing back on the lies from the corporate press and breaking down the news and offering up good insight, then there's something you can do to help make a difference. | ||
Go to TimCast.com, click join us, and for ten bucks a month, the cost of only a few cups of coffee, you can help us join in this fight and support the show and our cultural endeavors and make this work. | ||
Because without your support, the corporate machine The rigged YouTube machine, the social media censorship, will weigh down those seeking to call out the fake news lies. | ||
So, become a member today. | ||
And you, too, can be a part of that fight. | ||
And there's the spiel. | ||
Thank you so much, everybody. | ||
We will be back at 8 p.m., and for everybody else, I'll read your Super Chats right now. | ||
We'll grab a couple, because I don't know that we have too many more Super Chats, but I gotta say, these are very fun, very fun morning shows. | ||
SR20 says, go to a Pirates game. | ||
The park is rated one of the best in baseball. | ||
Also, Muslims are not conservative. | ||
They always run to the left. | ||
Disagree. | ||
Disagree. | ||
They run to the left for a variety of issues because Democrats are pandering to them right now in the U.S. | ||
However, Muslims are anti-LGBTQ stuff, right? | ||
So, you know, maybe there's a different way to describe it. | ||
Patrick says, I work around the fishing industry. | ||
I'm seeing a lot more people out illegally fishing to make ends meet. | ||
Interesting. | ||
Interesting. | ||
Dragon Lady says, I got called weird yesterday during a political debate on Facebook. | ||
My response, thank you for the compliment. | ||
How are they going to be like, being weird is bad? | ||
I just say, okay. | ||
Like, I really do think confusion and exasperation is the proper counter. | ||
If I was debating someone, or if I was having a conversation, and they were like, yeah, but you guys are so weird. | ||
I'd go, okay. | ||
All I want to know is how we get gas prices down and get wages up. | ||
If you guys are so concerned about people being like weird or whatever, like, sure. | ||
Vote for that. | ||
I just want cheaper prices for everybody and better wages. | ||
Imagine a political debate where you've got Tim Walz being like, J.D. | ||
Vance is weird! | ||
He's a weird guy! | ||
And then J.D. | ||
Vance is like, sure, I mean, for everybody out there, if you'd like to vote for a candidate because you're concerned about weirdness, he's your man. | ||
My concern? | ||
How do we make it more affordable for you to buy a house, to pay your bills, to send your kids to school? | ||
How do we make it so that your wages can go up, that inflation can go down? | ||
Vote for me if that's what you want. | ||
If you think that's weird, he's your guy. | ||
And maybe that does work with a lot of people, I guess. | ||
Baseplayer says, so TLDR on golf handicaps, it's your average score of your last three rounds based on the formula that factors in slope, rating, and par for the course. | ||
So a golfer who has an 8 handicap has an average score of 8 over par. | ||
Thank you for that breakdown, good sir. | ||
for a lot of people who don't know. | ||
Blave Guy says, Tim, you missed one thing about why we call it Summer of Love. | ||
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkin called her city Burning and the CHOP a summer of love. | ||
Yes, indeed. That's where the name originated from. | ||
And so everyone started just like with Let's Go Brandon. I love Let's Go Brandon. | ||
Because they were saying F Joe Biden and she's like, wow, they're yelling Let's Go Brandon. | ||
unidentified
|
Let's Go Brandon. | |
All right. | ||
Dave, Davey Boy says, what's the Vegas betting odds over under for VP Kamala Harris Kamala? | ||
Is that what they're saying? | ||
I don't know. | ||
For not certifying the 2040 24 general election on January 6 2025. | ||
I bet she won't if Trump wins. | ||
We got a regular chat. | ||
Ridge Sears says, Tim is definitely 1000% sure YouTube is making it difficult to find your page. | ||
I don't even care though, dude. | ||
I will spend 30 minutes hunting your uploads every single day if I have to. | ||
Really do appreciate it. | ||
It's wild. | ||
You search for TimCastNews or Tim Pool, and they'll send you leftists mocking me instead of my own channel as one of their premier channels with over a million subscribers. | ||
I have three channels, over a million subscribers, and they try to make it so that you cannot find it. | ||
Wild! | ||
So what we did was, when I realized we were hard shadow banned, I started, I tried buying a commercial. | ||
I bought an ad on Google to run on YouTube to say, okay, we'll spend the money because we can. | ||
Simple ad where I say, for the best show and news and politics, check out TimCast IRL, Monday through Friday at 8 p.m. | ||
Go there and subscribe now, and thanks for hanging out, we'll see y'all then. | ||
And the first thing that happened was they denied it. | ||
After complaining for a while, they finally approved it. | ||
A day later, I get a call from Google. | ||
They deleted our two biggest episodes that were featured in the ad. | ||
Joe Rogan, Alex Jones, Michael Malice. | ||
They deleted them. | ||
Joe Rogan. | ||
They deleted the episode. | ||
Should still be up on the podcast platforms, though you can find it on iTunes and Spotify. | ||
For those that are listening, you can definitely check out the show on iTunes and Spotify. | ||
And when you do, it helps boost our ranking. | ||
So one thing you can do if you do like the show is everybody go and listen on iTunes and Spotify. | ||
If you miss the show or if you can follow the podcast, I don't know how it works, you can subscribe and that boosts the podcast rankings. | ||
We are a top 200 on iTunes. | ||
I think we were like 118 two weeks ago. | ||
We're now at like 184. | ||
For whatever reason, I am not good at the podcast stuff, I will fully admit. | ||
On YouTube, we consistently have like the largest live audience for IRL and this morning show is now, we did 32,000, 26,000 today and 32,000 yesterday. | ||
But for whatever reason, I have no idea how you actually get on the podcast charts. | ||
Because I look at some of these other shows that are substantially smaller. | ||
And they're way high-ranked on the podcast rankings. | ||
It could just be that we get the bulk of our views on YouTube, so it doesn't count, unfortunately. | ||
I do know that the top podcasts in the world only get around, like, between 100 and 300,000 per episode. | ||
Which is kind of nuts. | ||
Because this show on YouTube, the morning show that we recently reconfigured and launched, gets around that much in just YouTube views. | ||
And then with podcasts and everything else, it's probably like 500. | ||
And then with clips, it's over a million. | ||
But then, um... | ||
IRL is like, I think we do like 400 to 500 in 24 hours, which probably should be one of the biggest podcasts | ||
in the world in the top 10, I think, I could be wrong. | ||
Numbers may have changed. | ||
But for that reason that nobody watches on iTunes and Spotify, they just watch on YouTube. | ||
So it is what it is. | ||
All right. | ||
Luca Alton says, Tim, you were talking about going international with the coffee shops. | ||
What kind of places did you have in mind? | ||
Well, I meant to say national. | ||
I accidentally said international, but we do think international would be great. | ||
Donna S. says, please make a monthly for two to five bucks. | ||
I'm on a fixed income. | ||
Could help that way. | ||
I'm good with no special privileges. | ||
I'm 65, by the way. | ||
Watch every day. | ||
I really do appreciate it. | ||
I appreciate the $10 super chat. | ||
And I will be completely honest with why we don't have lower tiers. | ||
So, here's the sad reality. | ||
Consider this. | ||
There are some people who can't afford $10 a month. | ||
They would do $2, they would do $5. | ||
There are some people who can afford $100, but only do $10. | ||
This is the reality. | ||
You've got to find the happy medium because if we were to open up a $5 membership, we would get a massive influx of new members. | ||
We would get a massive cancellation of members who decide to go cheaper. | ||
We could create something like a cheaper membership that allows you, like you get three shows per month at $2. | ||
The problem is the people who can afford more but want to pay the minimum versus the people | ||
who can't afford the minimum and would consider paying less ultimately results in a net negative | ||
on the memberships. | ||
So typically for video viewership membership, I think most platforms do more. | ||
We do four members-only exclusive call-in shows with the Discord. | ||
We have dedicated staff on our Discord that are paid for because of the memberships, and hosting is paid for. | ||
And so, we're at the number where we basically break even. | ||
The combination of all factors give us a good break-even website. | ||
That's why people are like, where's the app, Tim? | ||
unidentified
|
Where's the app? | |
It's like, we're not the biggest membership. | ||
Like, if we were the Daily Wire, I mean, they get like, what do they do, like a million paid members or something? | ||
It's massive. | ||
We are nowhere near. | ||
Is it a million? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I think it might be like 600,000 to a million. | ||
Yeah, if we had that, we'd have the best app in the world, about every TV. | ||
But right now, we're also having a hard time with inflation. | ||
Which means, if we increase memberships to try and cover the costs of the increasing price of running the website, then people who are also suffering from inflation would cancel, so it's like, the economy is not good. | ||
The economy is not good. | ||
So, that's just the truth. | ||
If we open up lower-tier memberships, we could maybe offer up, like, a Discord-only $5 membership. | ||
I don't know if that would work, actually, because the Discord, actually, we do have the members only in the Discord as well. | ||
You can listen to the members only in the Discord. | ||
And so, it's not that we want to exclude everybody, it's just it costs money to host this stuff. | ||
YouTube, right now, for these livestreams, pays the hosting cost. | ||
For us, on our private, proprietary members only, where there are no rules, we have to pay the costs for every single viewer, and so the number we found is the happy medium. | ||
We do a good job running the business. | ||
I wish we could do better. | ||
But I recommend everybody become a member if you'd like to help us out. | ||
Help us out. | ||
I'll read one last from a regular chat. | ||
He says, it sucks for me with these long format videos in the morning because I'm at work and cannot watch the whole thing. | ||
It's hard to keep track of what's going on. | ||
My friend, we haven't changed the schedule posting for the clips. | ||
So if you watch the first 20 minutes of the show, you're getting my opening segment. | ||
You can then leave and then watch at 1pm, 4pm, and 6pm like normal. | ||
It's all there. | ||
The only thing you're going to miss out on are Super Chats. | ||
So, you can always watch both. | ||
But this show, my friends, shout out, Tim Pool Daily Show. | ||
Search for it right now on iTunes and Spotify. | ||
Follow it, subscribe it, reminder, whatever. | ||
The show publishes every day on those platforms in full. | ||
The schedule is 6 p.m., so you can always check out any episodes you missed watching us there, and I would appreciate it. | ||
I'm going to wrap it up for now, so smash the like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with all your friends. | ||
What I'm told by the big companies is that podcasts on iTunes and Spotify get big because people share the show with their friends. | ||
That's why I always say it. | ||
Word of mouth is what makes podcasts big. | ||
No idea. | ||
Maybe I'm just not good enough. | ||
And that may be the truth. | ||
I'm good enough to do what we're doing now, but probably not good enough to be nearly as big as any of the big names. | ||
That's okay. | ||
You know, I'm fine with how we run things and what we're doing, and we try to grow and expand and launch new shows. | ||
And if that's what it is, it is what it is. | ||
So I appreciate all of your support in helping make this all possible. | ||
We'll be back at 8 p.m. | ||
for TimCast IRL. |
