We had a lot of gold star families quite upset with Kamala Harris and Joe Biden for disgracing
a memorial for their lost family members and children.
Gold star families, for those that aren't familiar with the term, these are people who their children died in war service members.
And there's a bunch of terms conservatives have for families who lost loved ones.
Now, what happened is Donald Trump appeared at this ceremony.
Harris and Biden did not show up.
I think what Joe was on vacation, Harris was doing some kind of was doing calls and just general work.
I'll give her that much, you know, whatever.
And apparently they had been invited.
The big question was whether or not they were even invited to attend, because many view them as responsible, but they did not attend.
And I think the obvious reason is politics.
It was under their watch.
It would have been very bad for them.
But don't worry, Democrats!
The media whipped to action to make sure that Trump was the villain for actually honoring fallen soldiers, believe it or not.
And then this weird thing happened where the media claimed, as well as many Democrat personalities, that it was disgraceful for Donald Trump to use Arlington Cemetery as a backdrop For a political campaign.
Except they all do it.
The funniest one right now is John McCain's son saying how dare he turn Arlington into a political campaign ad.
Which is funny because I got the video of John McCain doing exactly that.
Literally walking through the cemetery as they film him for a campaign ad.
It's from 1999.
It's on C-SPAN.
And don't you love the hypocrisy?
They act like the world was invented yesterday.
Well, we'll talk about that.
Plus, we have the SAVE Act.
This is to stop illegal immigrants from being put on voter rolls and voting.
Now it's being attached to the major spending bill, which some people are saying could backfire because it'll result in a government shutdown.
No.
This is finally a good move from the speakership in the House.
This means that either they ban illegal immigrants from voting and they claim, but it's already illegal, they can't vote.
So then you don't care if they're going to make sure they're not on the voter rolls, right?
Or, the Democrats get a shutdown October surprise, which is gonna piss everybody off.
I mean, except for the Libertarians.
They're always very happy when there's a shutdown, so we'll talk about that.
We do have some other stories.
CNN brought Brian Stelter back.
Wow!
That wasn't surprising even to me.
They must truly be desperate.
But I gotta tell you guys, it's actually pretty wild that TimCast's ratings are higher than these cable primetime shows in the Key Demo.
Now, of course, I can't compete in the 65-plus demographic.
I mean that seriously.
But in the Key Demo, we absolutely crushed the competition on cable news.
So this morning show, even this morning show, Which is kind of crazy.
So we'll talk about that and the implications, actually, of what this means for the future.
But we're going to start with the Gold Star families who are calling out Kamala Harris.
And in this, we actually have the prediction models showing, well, right now it's a toss-up.
You've got some outlets saying it's Kamala, some outlets saying it's Trump.
Prediction markets slightly favoring Trump right now.
I don't think anybody really knows.
But Kamala Harris is calling herself the underdog.
I think this Gold Star Family thing would be bad in any normal circumstance, but we don't live in normal reality anymore.
So, I hate to say it, but I'm about to tell Trump campaign this.
You are not arguing with anybody.
That's the reality.
Look, the thin slice of what's left of an undecided voter in this country...
Best of luck to you.
Now, I do mean that, I do mean that.
Before we get started, my friends, head over to casprew.com and buy Casprew Coffee to support
our efforts here.
The goal here is we want to set physical locations.
So whenever you buy Casprew, we don't pull profits out of Casprew.
It's its own company.
All the money going into Casprew is being reinvested into Casprew, paying the single
staff member we have.
I've taken nothing from it.
But the goal is we want to get these physical locations up and running.
Imagine this, it's in the morning, you got an open morning, maybe it's your day off, you come and you hang out at the club, you hang out for a cup of coffee, there's a couch, there's a TV, people who feel similarly to you or want to discuss ideas with you, we create these physical spaces, Casperoo.com.
But also head over to TimCast.com, click join us, or in the top right you can click sign up to become a member.
As you can see right here on the front page, Tim Pullen has his legal action against Harris campaign for defamation.
It's currently underway.
I'm talking with my team in regular contact, and we're going to need your help on this one.
And I will admit, The worrying thing about this is whether or not we will be able to actually afford this.
As many of you may know, there are a lot of people who have tried to fight back against the lies and the manipulations, and it costs millions of dollars.
So I don't enter into this lightly, and we need your support over at TimCast.com.
Click join us, become a member.
Some have suggested we launch a fundraiser for this.
I mean, if we have to.
It really depends.
I don't know to what degree people are willing to support my and our efforts here in challenging these lies and the manipulation.
I assume many of you would.
Many of you are already members.
But, uh, maybe.
Maybe.
We have to push back on this one.
For those that didn't see the story yesterday, or Tim Castellaro last night, the Harris campaign falsely and egregiously accused me of calling for the mass, extra-legal execution of Democrats who refused to support Donald Trump should he win.
And that is a psychotic thing to say.
Absolutely psychotic.
Incorrect.
I oppose the death penalty.
I actually argue against it all the time.
And it is it is extremely defamatory, damaging to my company.
So we need your support over at TimCast.com.
But let's get started and talk about the news.
Here we go.
Also, don't forget to smash that like button, subscribe to this channel and get in your super chats today.
Get them in now once we wrap up the first segment, we go to your Super Chats.
So, let's read.
We got SCNR.com reporting Gold Star Families penned joint letter denouncing VP Harris.
Harris has disgracefully twisted this sacred moment into a political ploy.
Indeed, indeed.
Seven of the 13 Gold Star Families who lost sons and daughters during the U.S.
botched withdrawal from Afghanistan penned a letter denouncing Vice President Kamala Harris's
attack against former President Trump for his recent appearance at Arlington Cemetery. Over the
weekend, Harris released a statement that framed Trump's appearance at Arlington Cemetery as a
political stunt that disrespected sacred ground. Her statement further claimed that there was
an altercation between some of Trump's team and cemetery staff and repeated Trump's disputed
suckers and losers, quote.
I just want to point out the stupidest story ever is that Trump called American soldiers
suckers and losers.
That is, that's just so comic, comically ridiculous.
Okay?
That, like, comic book villains don't even say such stupid things to accuse Trump of doing it.
Shortly after, the families of the soldiers who were tragically killed during the nation's withdrawal from Afghanistan published a joint letter denouncing Harris' statement.
Quote, We, the families of the brave service members who were tragically killed in the Abbey Gate bombing, are appalled by Vice President Harris' recent attempts to politicize Trump's visit to Arlington Cemetery.
President Trump was invited by us, the Gold Star families, to attend the solemn ceremonies commemorating the three-year anniversary of our children's death.
He was there to honor their sacrifice, yet Vice President Harris has disgracefully twisted this sacred moment into a political ploy.
The families asserted Harris and President Biden bore responsibility for the deaths of the 13 fallen soldiers who perished during their mission.
Her administration's catastrophic mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal directly led to the murder of 13 service members, including our children.
Despite our multiple requests for a meeting to discuss the loss of our loved ones, Vice President Harris has repeatedly ignored us, showing a complete lack of empathy and accountability.
The letter added, Harris's refusal to face the consequences of her administration's decision was a deep betrayal of Gold Star families.
President Trump, on the other hand, has been the only Commander-in-Chief to consistently recognize the heroism of our children.
His attendance at Arlington was not for political gain, but to stand with us, to grieve with us, and to honor the legacy of those who gave everything for this nation.
His leadership during this time in office was strong, and we have no doubt that if he were still Commander-in-Chief, our children would be alive today.
The family's unasserted Harris has proven herself unfit to serve as commander-in-chief.
Her actions, both in the failure of the Afghanistan withdrawal and her disgraceful politicization of this anniversary, have shown that she lacks the judgment, compassion, and leadership required for the position.
We will continue to hold her accountable for the role she played in the deaths of our children.
We will not stand by as she disrespects their memory.
America deserves better.
Our children deserve better.
Here we have the story from the New York Post.
The disdain I have for these people, my friends, I cannot put into words.
Cemetery for the third anniversary of the Abbey Gate bombing. Here we have the story from the New
York Post. Kamala Harris blasts Donald Trump's political stunt at Arlington Cemetery, disrespected
sacred ground. The disdain I have for these people, my friends, I cannot put into words,
I just really can't. Not a day goes by that I am not infuriated by the lies, the disgrace,
the deception, the unwillingness to own up to their errors, the intentional malice.
And now it's personal, of course, but it's just shocking.
I mean, look, admit that you made a mistake, admit your failures, and move on.
I was talking about this with Tim Waltz, about Tim Waltz the other day.
The reason why Democrats won't come on podcasts like this one, or I should say like TimCast.io, not like this one.
We don't do guests on this morning show, monologuing.
But I gotta tell you, I bring on Thomas Massey, right?
Thomas Massey joins our show and we'll discuss things.
And if we have a disagreement, he will stand by and explain what he's doing and he'll defend it.
In fact, our own TimCast member Our members will call in and argue with me periodically.
In fact, we had a great call-in last night, where a member said I was wrong about the death penalty, and we had the argument.
We argued.
I get heated on the death penalty stuff.
And he said I was wrong.
It's amazing that we have members who are willing to call in and say, Tim, you are wrong!
I listen to your show, and here's why you're wrong.
And I will let them call in, and they can tell me I'm wrong, and I will tell them they're wrong.
And then, of course, some people don't like the way they conclude, but ultimately I concluded to the caller, our morals differ.
We both agree that there are different things, and we will not agree with each other, but I appreciate the call.
I thought it was actually a really great point he was making, and I appreciate these debates.
If Tim Walz came on TimCast IRL and said, you know, and I asked him, you said you carried a weapon of war in war.
Why did you do that?
Explain this.
unidentified
And he went, well, you know, my wife says sometimes I have bad grammar.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
And, uh, you know, but, but if it's not that it's a attack on my children, I bet, oh, that's not bad grammar.
You claimed you were in war with weapons of war.
They don't want to answer that.
They don't want to just say, you know what?
I shouldn't have said that.
Heat of the moment, in this crowd, I was fired up and I misspoke.
I should not have said it that way.
I should have said that in a time of war, I was carrying weapons assigned for combat.
Or something to that effect.
In a time of war in which I did not see this theater.
In fact, there's a brilliant way Tim Waltz could have said this.
And you know, this is the funniest thing about that carry weapons of war.
You know what I'd say?
You know, first of all, I'm not for gun control.
I'm for the Second Amendment.
But he could have said, we were at war in this country, in the Middle East, and they stationed me in Europe.
Now I provided security to these bases, but I did not see the kind of combat our other brave brothers and sisters did.
Regardless of that, they thought it imperative that we were going to be trained with weapons of war, even though we are not even in these war zones.
He could have said something like that.
And he could have said, that's the seriousness of these weapons that they give out.
That the threat is of terror and conflict.
And then he could have said something to the effect of, you know, he doesn't think regular citizens or whatever.
I mean, it's a stupid point, but I'm just saying, like, he could have done better.
This is why they don't come on these shows.
They play these sick games where people just buy into it.
You know what, man?
Here's all I want.
I want you to be free.
That's it.
You go do whatever you want to do, you say whatever you want to say about anybody you want to say about you, whatever.
You leave me alone, I leave you alone.
Within certain reason.
I'm not a staunch Big L libertarian or anarchist.
I think society has to have morals and norms and these things.
And this society, this liberal worldview where You can have multicultural moral functions in one society.
It's an impossibility.
It's just not possible.
You can't have one country with one set of laws where you have female genital mutilation, transgender children surgeries, and Christian conservatism.
These things don't mix, okay?
This idea that this multicultural world can exist, I'm sorry, it just doesn't.
We have morals, we must maintain those morals.
That being said, for the most part, I think we should have a good moral foundation, and then we should let people be free.
In order to do so, you need to know the truth.
And, you know, freedom doesn't mean absolute freedom.
I don't believe in absolute do-whatever-you-want-whenever-you-want.
Of course, I believe in moral lines.
But there has to be accountability.
There has to be honesty and integrity.
There has to be honor.
We don't live in a society of honor anymore.
We live in a society of debauchery and dishonor.
And it's shocking to me.
You know, I don't know what it is in me that values honor and loyalty, or where that comes from, but it exists.
And loyalty matters.
Blind loyalty is stupid.
Real loyalty matters.
Real loyalty is not leaving your friend behind.
Let's say, You're, uh, you know, I don't know, you and your friend are facing floodwaters and you have to pull them out of the river before they get washed away.
Loyalty is saying, I'm going to take a risk to myself to make sure my friend survives.
Dishonor is running away, watching your friend get washed away, and then lying to the press and saying, oh, I tried everything I could.
That's dishonorable.
That's not loyalty.
Loyalty is Hachiko the dog waiting for 10 years for the Japanese professor in Japan who never came back.
We are not a society of honor anymore.
Kamala Harris and Joe Biden know no honor.
They don't care.
They know lies and deceit.
But it works for them.
Because there are people who are going to vote for them.
Take a look at this from CNN.
Exclusive!
John McCain's son decries Trump appearance at Arlington as a violation that turned cemetery into a campaign backdrop.
unidentified
My heart!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
How could Donald Trump do this?
It is only the most vile and despicable evil men who would use Arlington Cemetery as a political backdrop.
You must be the absolute scum of the earth To go to Arlington for the express purpose of a campaign backdrop!
What was that?
Oh, Donald Trump was invited by the families to honor their lost loved ones?
Oh, well, that wasn't a campaign backdrop.
That was the families inviting Trump there.
So Trump is not subject to those insults and that ire.
But you know who is?
Hey, it's good old John McCain.
Look at this.
We got this from C-SPAN.
1999.
User clip.
I love this.
November 14th, 1999 clip of presidential campaign commercials.
User clip.
John McCain, Arlington National Cemetery ad.
What's this?
unidentified
Experience and more courage than anyone.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Who's this?
unidentified
Ready to be president and leader of the free world.
I swear to you that from my first day in office to the last breath I draw, I will do everything in my power to make you proud of your government.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
It's a hard thing to do.

Oh wait, there you go, there you go.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Whoops, I thought that was the beginning.
There you go.
unidentified
Watch this!
Oh!
Oh my god!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
It's John McCain!
And he's in Arlington Cemetery for a political ad!
I love how everyone's pointing this out.
John McCain walking through Arlington Cemetery.
Literally the only reason he's doing it is because he filmed a political commercial to be president.
unidentified
So, uh, what is this?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
John McCain's son.
You are despicable.
Your father is despicable.
And now I can give respect to Meghan McCain to a certain degree.
I'm willing to allow people to have their opinions.
I respect John McCain's service to this country.
I reject the mockery of his injuries.
I do not like John McCain's politics.
I think he was horrible politically, and he's a warmonger.
But that being said, I think we have to have a certain degree of decorum and honor.
And this is one of the reasons why I've not been the biggest fan of Donald Trump.
And what I mean when I say not the biggest fan, it means I'm a fan, I'm just not, you know, like Cat Turd, right?
You guys know who that is?
A Twitter user whose name is Cat Turd?
I'm a big fan of Trump.
There are a lot of people who are diehard for Trump.
I like Trump.
I think he's a good dude.
I think he did well.
I'm a fan.
He's a funny guy.
But I'm not the biggest.
And that means that What I think Trump does well, I think there are certain things he doesn't do well, but it is what it is.
I'm willing to accept good policy, a good presidential second term for him.
I'm willing to accept that he's going to do right by this country.
I'm willing to accept he's brought on Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr.
He's got a great bipartisan structure.
He's fairly moderate.
I respect the moves he's making, and I'm a big, big fan.
But I could be a bigger fan.
The biggest.
But I think...
There are decorum issues with Donald Trump, and actually, you know, I gotta admit, he's improved greatly.
Absolutely has.
In his first term, it was a bit sillier.
In his first presidential run, I really do feel like this time around, he's sort of straightened out a little bit, and I tremendously respect that.
So actually, I take that back.
I would say he's done a pretty good job in straightening things out.
But I do think honor and decorum matter, and these people have none, okay?
I can respect John McCain for his service.
That political ad talks about how he was tortured for years.
They broke his bones.
I mean, it's horrifying stuff.
And this country's in a lot of bad things.
I'm willing to accept that.
But I'm not so stupid to ignore the challenges that we face and the realities of the world and political power and geopolitics, etc., etc.
But, you know, I think Trump has greatly, greatly, greatly improved over the past several years.
I mean, I think this is important to point out.
A lot of people were upset in 2020.
Or I should say 2021.
Trump would not stop talking about the election and it was stolen and whatever.
And he does a little bit.
He recently was at a rally and he was like, they don't want me to talk about the election, but it was a very bad election.
Well, they don't want you to talk about it because we get it.
At least I do.
I think Trump has greatly improved in this area, and has actually brought a bit more of the honor back.
And I can respect that.
I can say this.
Trump is the most honorable man currently running, and the Democrats have nothing but dishonor.
So I will stress this.
It's shockingly insane.
It just blows me away, McCain, told CNN.
These men and women are laying in the ground.
They have no choice of whether to be a political backdrop for a political campaign.
I just think that for anyone who's done a lot of time in uniform, they just understand that inherently, that it's not about you there.
It's about the people who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the name of their country.
He's a liar.
This man is a lying piece of garbage.
He is a liar.
His dad used Arlington Cemetery as a backdrop.
Donald Trump was invited by the families to honor their children.
What are you supposed to do?
Say no?
unidentified
It's disgusting.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
I can't stand these people, man.
Well, let's get into the predictions.
Telegraph says Kamala Harris will win the U.S.
election.
Telegraph poll predicts.
After weeks of gains on Donald Trump, Vice President ahead in enough battleground states to take White House in November.
Weird grammar, to be honest.
Vice President is ahead in enough battleground states to take the White House in November, but thank you for not using articles.
Kamala Harris is on the course to win this year's U.S.
presidential election, a Telegraph poll of swing states predicts for the first time.
So we will see.
Keep in mind, my friends, they predicted Hillary Clinton was going to win.
And they predicted it largely.
Right now, Kamala Harris says that she's the underdog.
So we'll see.
Right now at RealClearPolitics, based on the polling, You currently have 111 electoral votes up for grabs.
Quite a bit.
They've got New Hampshire as a swing state, which is very interesting.
Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, and New Hampshire are all up for grabs.
That's crazy.
They put Virginia in play.
Trump could win these places.
Polling underestimates Trump consistently.
It always has.
Doesn't mean he won last time.
Now, when you click the Create Your Own Map, You can eliminate, if you use the RealClearPolitics ratings, what you get is 111 toss-ups.
But if we take a look at the toss-up states in which way they're leaning right now, and there's margin of error, Kamala Harris is currently winning.
But I'll stress this one again.
They overestimate Democrats.
So, I think you'd have to invert it.
Donald Trump is the media underdog.
They're claiming, Kamala Harris says that she's the underdog in this race.
Donald Trump likely is the actual, you know, underdog media-wise.
Now here's a 2020 map.
Biden 303, Trump 235.
You gotta get to the nuance of this though.
It was, what was it, Wisconsin, it was Michigan.
Namely, it was like, what, was it Milwaukee, Detroit, It was Fulton County, Philadelphia, and these major swing states that gave—can we actually switch this?
Let's do Wisconsin.
Let's do Michigan.
Let's do PA.
I mean, look at that, no question.
Even without Georgia.
Let's get Wisconsin out of there.
If Trump had taken Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia, he would have won.
But we all know how things went down with the shadow campaign.
And what I mean by that is the mass ballot harvesting and the legislative action.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the judicial action.
The judiciary in these states changing the rules outside of legislation.
Yeah.
So, you know, when we pull up the ratings and take a look at, you know, who's maybe going to win.
Right now, RCP ratings give Trump the edge.
There's only one question that matters.
Only one.
Will Donald Trump properly engage the procedure of this election?
Or is he going to try to make the argument again?
I think the argument is over, people.
I think we're well past the argument stage.
Certainly there's no reason to stop arguing, don't get me wrong, otherwise I wouldn't be.
But look where we are.
And I'll make it personal.
The Harris campaign claimed that I was calling for the extra-legal arrest and execution of anyone who won't support Trump should he win.
Which is absolutely insane.
And not the case.
They took an out-of-context clip, added lies on top of it, claiming I was a Trump operative, claiming that I was a part of Project 2025.
None of this is true.
Claiming that I wanted unchecked legal power for Trump to jail and execute anyone who won't support him should he win.
Which is insane.
Because I oppose the death penalty.
I am against capital punishment.
The state should not have, there should not be a mechanized political structure for killing people.
War, I get!
I'm talking about internally in this country.
I don't agree with it.
I'll argue it ad nauseam.
But this is where we're at.
Now, aside from that, you had the Philadelphia Eagles endorsement of Kamala, a fake ad that went up that everyone got mad about.
Maybe it was just one.
I heard it was more than one, but I don't know for sure.
And then you just have the general lies from the Harris campaign, which many, many individuals have called out over and over and over again.
They just keep lying and posting the most insane things.
The argument is over.
Donald Trump is trying to argue.
He's going to legalize pot.
He brings on Tulsi Gabbard.
He's playing this straight, and he's playing it by 2020 rules.
And that's, you know, look, in 2020, I said, Trump, bring on Tulsi Gabbard.
National security position.
Advisor.
Many conservatives are calling for this.
He needs to legalize, decriminalize, or at least issue an executive order or just mass pardon nonviolent offenders over marijuana at the federal level.
Biden ended up doing something to that effect.
Didn't really do much because it was for like possession or whatever.
And that's not really what the feds go after.
But Trump is doing these things now in 2024.
Okay.
I mean, maybe.
I'm not going to say it's bad to do.
These are good things.
But the argument doesn't matter so much as the tactics.
Trump needs to play procedure.
That is how you will win.
Trying to argue your way into the presidency is not going to work when they're ballot harvesting.
Well, we got this from Newsweek.
Kamala Harris plays down her poll lead again.
We are the underdogs.
She's right.
The polling favors her because the media is lying and she knows it.
Perhaps the reason they're lying, the campaign is lying, is because they are desperate.
I love this from Politico, though.
Don't trust election forecasts.
Well, I wouldn't call them wrong.
Nobody knows what's going to happen.
Nobody knows what the shadow campaign is.
Nobody knows what the October surprise will be.
Some speculation is that the October surprise is going to be Joe Biden drops out.
Kamala Harris becomes president.
And I think there's a strong possibility for that.
Because what ends up happening?
Joe Biden drops out.
Something happens.
Kamala Harris becomes president.
Then the campaign among Democrats is, we finally have the first female president.
We cannot let it end this way.
Women, they're going to go to all these women and say, could you imagine what the history books are going to say if the first female president and female president of color is only president for three or four months and then loses?
The harm it would do to our daughters!
That'll be the play.
Now, I don't know if that actually happens.
It seems grandiose.
Look, I was talking about the way they get Joe Biden out of the race and bring Gavin Newsom in so that Newsom saves him from a heart attack or something like that.
All they really did was, it was funny, it was funny, because I'm like, they don't have to do that.
They can literally just like, Biden's out, Kamala's in.
And then they did!
They literally were just like, Biden left, Kamala's president, or Kamala's presidential candidate.
That's it.
I was like, they don't need to do anything.
I think that one's really funny.
They don't, and they didn't.
So perhaps, They don't need to do anything.
They'll just have Joe Biden be like, I quit.
Kamala's president.
But who knows?
Who knows.
Nate Silver says, uh, we don't know who's gonna win, okay?
It's got, they got recent data, but it's 50-50, we have no idea.
And, uh, he addressed the Politico article saying, don't trust the forecasts.
He says, unfortunately this offer doesn't apply now, because the forecast is so close to 50-50.
But always happy to bet for real money against boring academics who can't model for ish, and say stuff like, that election forecasting is impossible.
Nate Silver's actually fairly good.
That being said, I don't know, Nate.
It's been pretty wishy-washy the past several elections.
It's like, you get these forecasts, and I guess Nate Silver's argument is, we're giving you projections.
You know, here's the percentages and the margins.
And then if it falls in those margins, we were right.
And it's like, that's like the Nostradamus forecasting.
I will say this.
I bet there's a 55% chance Trump wins.
But that means if Kamala Harris also wins, I said she had a chance to win.
It's like, well, you're not really telling me anything, are you?
I believe that Donald Trump has a 99% chance of winning.
But Kamala Harris still has that 1%, so if she wins, told you it would happen.
No, you can't.
That's not how it works.
That's why it's like, whatever.
But I will tell you this.
Pierce Morgan has bet Anthony Scaramucci $1,000 Trump will win the election.
Really?
That's interesting.
Well, look at this.
Look at this panel of fellers here on his show. $1,000.
Anthony Scaramucci says, not over yet.
Trump may leave the race.
Just watch his poll numbers plummet and see what happens.
Oh, come on, Scaramucci.
You know, he was going to come on the show, and then I guess he got mad because I'm critical of Democrats or something.
We fight tirelessly no matter what for freedom, for the Republic, no matter what, for freedom, for the Republic, for democracy, to end the threat of tyranny.

Come on.
I mean, at the very least, if you want to argue that Donald Trump is going to enact serious changes to this country that you don't like, don't act like Kamala's not doing awful garbage either.
It's just silly.
Just silly.
The betting markets currently have Trump favored by 0.4%.
Bavada has Trump up.
B-Win, it's a tie.
Polly Market has Trump 50% to Harris' 46.
Predict It, it's inverted!
Harris is winning.
But Smarkets, Smarkets, I like that one, has Trump up one point.
So across the board, except for Predict It, Trump appears to be holding the betting-odd predictions.
We'll see.
I'll tell you this, my friends.
The bad news for all of you is this.
Do you like Donald Trump?
Because of Democrats bringing in illegal immigrants to bolster their congressional seats and electoral votes, Republicans need to overcome a handicap that Democrats have of about four to six electoral votes.
That's right.
Let's go back to that Electoral College map and let's just say Democrats get a free Iowa or a free Nevada.
They got six votes, right?
Democrats get Nevada for free.
Because of California, and with all the other states combined, Democrats, through illegal immigration and sanctuary policies, have given themselves about, right now, six extra congressional seats, which also translates to six extra congressional votes.
This is not the will of the American people.
The illegal immigrants don't vote.
It is Democrats getting extra votes because they allow non-citizens in their states, and it is insane.
So it is fascinating.
The popular vote compact.
Some speculate that should we actually go national popular vote, the Republicans will actually win.
Now, what we see in most elections is that Democrats win the popular vote, but Many speculate that a lot of Republicans in deep blue states don't bother voting.
There are more Republicans in blue states that don't vote than Democrats in red states that don't vote.
Which means, if you switched to a largely popular vote model, one theory, one prediction, is that California Republicans begin to vote en masse because now your vote matters.
You know, you've got people who say, like, my vote doesn't matter.
I live in a blue state or I live in a red state.
Like, what's the point?
You've got to be in a swing state for it to matter, right?
Imagine this.
Imagine every conservative voter in New York voting.
New York still is largely blue, but it wouldn't matter.
You see a bump of 10% Republican votes, but you don't have Democrats in a red state.
To the same degree.
We pulled up the numbers a long time ago.
It's something like 2 or 3 to 1.
So we don't actually know.
Republicans may actually win the popular vote if we're on a popular vote system.
Look at places like New Jersey or Maryland where Republicans don't vote because they're like, we're deep blue.
What's the point?
Now imagine you go national popular vote.
They say, okay, I'll vote no.
Would be interesting, but we don't want to know.
We don't know for sure.
I still think the electoral college system is the better system.
I just think Democrats are cheating with illegal immigration.
So we're going to talk about this in our next segment coming up.
The GOP is pushing to link non-citizen voting ban to government funding bill.
We have this story from SCNR, which we will talk about in the next segment, but for now, we're going to jump over to your Super Chats.

Jason Dixon says, please forgive my broken record.
The economy is going to collapse.
It's the most telling, it's most telling in real estate.
Please get real estate mindset on as a guest.
We would probably have to do that for culture war, which we, which we could do.
So, you know, we'll see.
We just got one that popped in right now.
Would you support a mandatory voting law?
Absolutely not.
I would support the inverse.
More restrictions on voting.
You know, look, there are a lot of people that don't want to say things because I guess they're worried about sounding too crazy or whatever.
I think voting should be harder.
I have no problem saying that.
Voting should be very difficult, not impossible.
And I say very difficult relative to where it is now.
You should have to have an ID and the ballots should be blank.
That's it.
Blank ballots.
So you walk in to vote.
They hand you the ballot and they say, it's blank, have fun.
And you gotta write down who you're voting for and your handwriting's gotta be legible.
You gotta be able to write.
And this is the craziest thing too, when they're like, what about people who can't read or write?
Don't care!
Literally, don't care.
If you are illiterate, then you don't vote!
Bye!
Well, that's not fair to poor people.
Don't care!
Like, dude, you're not going to guilt or shame me, okay?
It's not gonna happen.
I don't care if people who are illiterate can't vote.
I literally don't.
That's not my responsibility, and if someone doesn't know how to read or write, perhaps they should not be voting because they can't understand the deeper nuances of what's going on.
Now, I suppose, then, you make the arguments about people who are dyslexic, and they are intelligent, but they have some issue.
I would argue, then, For these individuals, we will mark down on their voter IDs or whatever it is we do, dyslexic, and thus, we will confer with them when they are voting, and they can write these things down, and then a witness can provide help to them.
Or, you know, to be completely honest, You know, like, the witness thing works very well, I suppose.
If there is somebody who wants to vote, and they are illiterate, I don't think they should be voting, and so I'm fine with that.
But a witness for individuals who are otherwise disabled or differently abled, I would be fine with.
But I think it should be very difficult.
And I think, quite simply, ballots should be blank.
You should walk in, and it should say, here are the available positions to vote for.
Type in the name you want!
And if you spell it wrong, your vote don't count.
If you can't spell Clinton or Trump, you didn't vote for them.
People will type in DRUMPF.
Nope, doesn't count.
Make it harder.
Then this country would be doing a lot better.
We'd have less war.
We'd be more prosperous.
People would live better lives.
It's just like, you know, imagine you've got a factory.
And there's heavy machinery and you're like, we're going to take a vote on how to fix this machine.
And there's an engineer and he's like, no, that's a bad idea.
I can fix it.
And they're like, nah, but we don't.
And he comes up and he says, listen to me.
I'm an engineer.
Here's my certification.
I can fix this.
They said, we don't want to vote for you.
We don't like what you think.
In politics, the question is morality, which is a lot different.
And nobody really knows how to operate such a large machine.
But certainly some people are more qualified than others.
I think it's real simple.
You can vote.
It's always allowed.
Everyone's allowed to vote.
But you gotta know who you're voting for, and you gotta write their name in.
There you go.
Let's go!

Halo News says Tim is Kamala Harris, an in-between of both Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton.
I don't know what you mean by that.
I think she's a listless vessel.
I don't think she has any real views.
I think she's just like, tell me what to do and I'll do it.
Pinking says, Rip Paul Harrell, a major gun influencer and gun rights activist, who passed away yesterday.

Grimlin says, Tim, look into the Article 3 project.
They do discrimination cases.
Ask Benny about it.
Discrimination cases?
What's that?
Discrimination for what?
Let's go!
Well, let me just stress, I am standing up to the lies because it personally impacts me, was a false statement about me, damages my reputation, harms my business, a bunch of these things.
Thank you for standing up to the lies.
Well, let me just stress, I am standing up to the lies because it personally impacts me,
was a false statement about me, damages my reputation, harms my business,
a bunch of these things.
I have to stand up for myself.
There are certain circumstances where I understand and tolerate in other areas,
other statements made by other people, that there's public participation.
And I am shocked that we live in a society without new precedent on defamation, and we need new
precedent.
I believe that if someone posts factually incorrect information about you, you should be able to file a claim in court, A judge should then review the evidence as to whether or not it is reasonably believed to be true, and then require the offending party to correct.
But understand, this is the purpose of judges.
Let's say someone says, I think Trump is a white supremacist.
Trump then sues and says, I am not, and then shows all of these things, saying he's not a white supremacist.
The court can say, sir, They have presented their case.
It's an opinion statement.
Get out of the courtroom.
I'm fine with that.

Trump can say, I have a civil rights awards.
Here are the people that I've worked with.
I will personally state today under oath, I do not hold those views.
And then the other person can say, they're lying for political reasons.
Here's some of their associates.
Here's the beliefs they have.
And a judge can say, opinion statement.
Bye bye.
Waste of time.
However, how about verifying people?
When the media says Trump called neo-Nazis very fine people, Trump can say, here is the actual video in reference where I said they should be condemned totally.
The judge goes, he did say they should be condemned totally.
And he actually said, when very fine people, he wasn't referring to neo-Nazis and white nationalists.
What say you?
Well, I think he said it.
No.
Take it down, retract, apologize.
The question beyond that is, did they know they were lying?
And if they did, then there should be punitive damages.
That's it.
So right now, to sue for defamation, you need to prove damages, which means people can lie and damage your reputation, destroy your business, destroy your life, because it's very difficult to prove monetary harm.
It's just an absurdity.
An absurdity.
I won't stand for this.
Let's grab some more Super Chats here.
Joe Fedor says, CNN says Biden-Harris administration to accuse Russia of sustained effort to influence 2024 election.
I can't do nothing without three years of Russiagate.
three years of Russiagate. Yep.
Habatsky says, Habatsuki, is Arlington story a case of
assumptive language?
Trump was told not to photograph her political campaign does not mean that Trump was accused of doing that plausible deniability.
You see, there you go.
Assumptive manipulation.
I say, our goal is to get everyone a slice of pizza for dinner.
And then all you gotta do is vote for me.
And then, once everyone lines up, I say, we got it, ladies and gentlemen.
We got your dinner!
Everyone goes, yay!
And the dinner is cornbread.
And you're like, I never said I got you, huh?
You know?
But you said you were gonna get us pizza.
I said that was our intent!
But then you said you got us dinner.
I did get you dinner.
It's just not pizza.
I love that assumptive manipulation.
Those dirty, dirty games, man.
ATX says, this reminds me of when they edited Joe Rogan's clip to look like he was talking about Kamala, but it was about Tulsi.

Derek Fannebecker, I would love to hear your take on Live's song from Mental Jewelry, Beauty of Gray.
They were super young when it dropped.
Great song.
I'm not familiar with it.
Have to check it out.
Adrian Contreras says, Tim is pushing to abolish the Electoral College.
I knew it.
He's still a Bernie bro.
He's been slowly getting us to his side for years lol.
The reason the Electoral College is so important is that we can't allow the interests of Iowa to be stripped away by the interests of California because they're different.
And so the example I like to give is in California where they don't have voting based on electoral system.
When I was there during the drought in the 2010s, Tulare County, with farmers and farm
workers, they had no groundwater because the cities voted to take their surface water away
from them because the cities had more people.
And I'm like, but this water is here!
There are people who live here and they have wells they need to tap to drink and live!
The cities have more people.
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, they said.
Well, my attitude is, they don't live here.
Taking the... literally funneling the water away from the people who have it to people who don't is an absurdity.
Don't live in these big cities if you can't sustain yourself.
So, without the electoral system, the interests of California, New York, and Chicago will instantly outweigh any of the interests of smaller states.
Now, there's an inverse argument they make that With a popular vote system, they would actually try to go to these places to win, but it's, it's, no, get out of here.
You're gonna be like, we need to maximize winning, and it would make this country far left overnight, and it would destroy rural areas, would become instantly oppressed.
No, we can't do that.
The electoral system is, is a necessity.
Katie Mackey says, I had a Republican at the door ask who I was voting for.
I'm registered Republican, but previous Dem.
Oh, very cool.
I'm not a big fan of the Republican Party.
They just have me this time because Democrats have lost their minds.
And, uh, don't take my word for it.
Many personalities have abandoned the Democratic Party.
You don't hear a lot of the opposite.
But let's jump to this next story, my friends!
We got this report from scnr.com.
Republicans are seeking to combine BANNING NONCITIZENS FROM VOTING WITH THE GOVERNMENT FUNDING BILL.
MEANING, DEMOCRATS WILL HAVE TO SUPPORT A BAN ON NONCITIZEN VOTING.
OTHERWISE, THE GOVERNMENT WILL SHUT DOWN.
Finally!
Finally, Republicans are doing something!
You see, I can accept this.
Good work to the speakership this time.
As CNR.com reports, GOP pushes bill to link non-citizen voting ban to government funding bill.
Some warn the plan may backfire, causing a government shutdown a month before the 2024 election.
Ooh, I love this.
The spending bills are all garbage.
pressure to link a piece of legislation aimed at preventing non-citizens from registering
to vote in U.S. elections to an upcoming continuing resolution bill.
Ooh, I love this.
The spending bills are all garbage.
We shouldn't have continuing resolutions, but at least they'll do something like this.
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, SAVE Act, proposes amending the National
Voter Registration Act to mandate that states require proof of U.S.
citizenship when an individual registers to vote in federal elections.
Non-citizens caught voting under the proposed law could face fines and up to a year in prison.
The SAVE Act passed July 10th, with 198 Democrats voting against it.
Opponents argue that non-citizens are already barred from voting in federal elections.
However, this year several states have discovered thousands of non-citizens listed on voter rolls, which is a direct violation of federal law.
And I will add, this means likely that there are many non-citizens on these voter rolls, and we didn't find them.
This month alone, more than 16,000 non-citizens have been removed from the voter rolls in three states.
Florida Senator Rick Scott said in an August 28 post on X. It's a serious problem.
And as the next Senate GOP leader, I'll make sure we fix it.
That's amazing.
He says, illegals should not be voting.
16,000 non-citizens have been removed from voter rolls in three states.
Now, let me tell you.
There's a lot of things to be worried about in our voting system.
Democrats don't seem at all concerned.
Do we want a free and fair election?
Yes.
Okay.
Then it's simple.
We gotta make sure there's no double voting, which happens.
We gotta make sure that there's no illegal immigrants voting.
We have to make sure that votes are counted properly.
We have to make sure that expired votes pass a certain deadline don't get counted.
That's free and fair.
Instead, Democrats do the opposite.
They enact policies that allow for the widest margin of error imaginable, which only opens the door to fraud, which I find absolutely not shocking, to say the least.
Welfare offices and other agencies in at least 46 states are providing voter registration
forms to migrants without requiring proof of citizenship, the New York Post reported.
Days before Scott's post, Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a statement revealing that officials
in his state had removed more than 1.1 million ineligible voters from the rolls, including
6,400 noncitizens.
Abbott added that nearly 2,000 of these noncitizens had voted in elections.
Now here's the other game they play.
Democrats will say that's not going to change the outcome of the election.
It will at the local level, no question.
Some of these votes are 200 to 210 in local jurisdictions.
And if you have non-citizens voting, yeah, they absolutely are altering the results.
But Democrats will say, it's not enough votes to change who wins the presidency.
Perhaps it could swing a county here or there, but the state will go one way or the other.
But it does change the makeup of the state.
That we shouldn't allow.
House Speaker Mike Johnson is now facing pressure to attach the SAVE Act to the upcoming continuing resolution, which would extend government funding until March.
To pass the resolution, Johnson would need to secure 218 votes, a challenging task given that some Republicans have already pledged not to support another continuing resolution.
The resolution must be passed by September 30th to avoid a government shutdown.
Mike Lee says this fall, we're going to pass the SAVE Act, protect election integrity, and dare Democrats to explain why they think foreigners should be able to vote in America.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has been working behind the scenes to persuade Republicans to drop demands for a short-term funding bill that includes SAVE Act because Mitch McConnell is awful.
McConnell's team has expressed concerns that such a move could alienate voters just a month before the November elections by causing a government shutdown.
Why would that be on Republicans?
I just can't stand Mitch McConnell.
I can't stand these people.
You know what, man?
I just... This country is going to radically transform overnight.
Be warned.
For a variety of reasons.
The octogenarian political establishment and the septogenarian political establishment are insane people!
They're insane!
Mitch McConnell is a psychopath!
They don't know what's going on.
They don't read what's going on.
They don't care.
They're probably reading newspapers to get their information on what happened, learning about yesterday's news tomorrow.
I'm just so fed up.
And those of us that are paying attention and are watching this in real time are shocked that Mitch McConnell is so bad at his job.
But they keep voting for him.
Thanks, Fox News.
Anyway.
According to an analysis by the Bipartisan Policy Center, the SAVE Act requires significant changes to each step of the voter registration process, including voter registration methods, identity verification, and list maintenance procedures.
The organization notes that these changes would be costly and time-consuming, potentially taking months if not years to implement.
Other voting rights advocates warn that over 9% of American citizens of voting age, roughly 21.3 million people, do not have readily available proof of citizenship.
So what?
I don't care.
I am sick of Democrats playing this game where it's everyone and everyone should vote.
Why?
Explain it.
Give me one good reason why everyone should vote for no reason.
Let's talk about voting.
Voting shapes the fabric of this country.
The more people Vote randomly.
The more the country falls into disrepair, and the more people will vote randomly.
But you know what?
Fine.
Call it social Darwinism.
Call it whatever you want.
Let this play out.
And the end result will be, we only got to wait about 40 years and the strong will survive.
And those who can navigate and maintain themselves in a fractured and broken system will succeed and will survive.
And this tends to be the pattern of existence on this planet.
Ah, it's but a Fibonacci sequence of escalating Darwinism.
Right?
The strong must survive.
You'd think we'd be beyond that as intelligent creatures, but it's funny.
We just call ourselves intelligent, and then we define intelligence, and then act like we are.
Certainly a distinction from the noble rooster, perhaps.
The chickens.
We won't refer to them as intelligent at all.
They're pretty dumb animals.
But it's funny.
It's funny because they are still subject to the laws of the strong surviving.
A rooster who is too stupid will die.
And let me tell you.
Let me tell you.
We had a rooster.
I don't even remember his name.
We name them all, but I don't remember his name.
He kept escaping.
He kept jumping out of the area we had him, and we respected it.
I said, you know what?
He's an adventurous little dude.
Let him jump out.
And a fox got him.
Now he's dead.
He'll never have babies.
Yeah, well, okay.
You know, he wasn't strong enough to survive.
There's an interesting thing there with the structures that we built around him.
But you know, we then build this grand society where we try and try to protect those who would be stupid enough to jump out of their pen.
All right?
Those who would jump into the gorilla pit.
And there are people who do.
There are people who climb into enclosures with bears.
And those people don't make it.
We call that Darwinism.
Those people are less likely to reproduce.
Now, politically and socially, you'd think we as intelligent species could navigate ourselves out of this, but we can't.
You see, what happens is, we care.
We do.
We're good people.
Humans.
We we care about each other.
We care about each other.
It's an evolutionary trait, or you can say it was bestowed upon us by God, however you see it.
And the idea is, we want to help others survive, because that's what humans do.
Social beings that care for one another.
This means that over a long enough period of time, we keep saving stupider and stupider people, and then eventually you have 51% of your population is very stupid.
And then that stupid people will vote for stupid things, straining and stressing the system.
I put it this way.
It was Wokeldistance on X who said, A man built a fence around his property to protect his wife from bears.
Eventually, the wife became convinced that he built the fence to keep her in and restrict her freedom.
So she tore the fence down and promptly got eaten by a bear.
Yeah.
Now scale that up.
Strong people create rules, create moral structures, because they survived hardship.
With those structures, they then say, here's why the rules are in place.
The rules then protect stupid people who succeed, grow, and expand, and then eventually, once you have 51% stupid people, they vote for things that are stupid.
And the system starts breaking down.
The system breaks down, the stupid people end up getting eaten by the bears, and this is just the ebb and flow of society.
To put it simply, strong men make good times, good times make weak men, weak men make hard times, hard times make strong men.
As the saying goes.
And that's just it.
We can try as we might to prevent the breakdown, but we are the victims of our own success.
And the real bad news is only for those who aren't smart enough to survive.
And you know what?
That tends to be the communists.
The gimme gimme gimme millennials who are saying, I shouldn't have to work.
And I love this one.
I love this one so much.
The left, these millennials, when they're like, did you know that medieval peasants got more vacation time than we do today?
And it's just like, Okay.
They starved to death in the winter.
They died when they stubbed their toes.
Okay?
Now, don't get me wrong.
We live in a different world.
We work substantially less for so much more.
And people just don't want to do it.
I'd love this.
I'd love this.
Let's entertain your worldview.
Let's take this medieval individual and tell them, here's the job you have.
Okay, here's what we're going to do.
We're gonna give you an apartment building with air conditioning.
It is cold when it's hot out.
It is hot when it is cold out.
You won't freeze to death.
You don't have to bundle up in furs.
You don't have to go hunting.
You need only make a coffee.
Or I mean, let's be real, those are entry-level positions.
Let's talk about average day-to-day work.
We take a guy from the 13th century, peasant, and then we say, you have to just check your email every so often, type things in, they're gonna go, oh my god!
I was out collecting berries and a bear killed my brother.
I was going fishing and my brother fell in and drowned.
I stubbed my toe and now my foot's become gangrenous.
That's like, oh, you stubbed your toe?
Well, splash some of this.
Look, you go to the grocery store, mouthwash costs a buck.
You splash it on the infection.
Cured!
It's just remarkable that they disregard how easy life is today compared to then and they think the peasants had it better.
Oh, jeez.
You think so?
Go live in the woods in a cabin.
But they don't think so.
I just watched that movie, Jungle, with Daniel Radcliffe.
It's from, like, 2017.
It's a pretty good movie, actually.
It starts a little slow.
But it's about these dudes who go to Bolivia, and they get lost in the jungle, and then this dude is lost for, like, three weeks, and then eventually gets found.
And I'm like, if you think the medieval peasants had it so well, try surviving in the wilderness.
It's just an absurdity.
It's an absurdity.
But that's the millennial communists that we're dealing with today that are voting for the things that break down and destroy this country.

So, what can I say?

I look at my watch and I'm like, eh, you know what?
In 40 years, this country will be completely inverted.
It'll be likely a Christian-dominant nation for several reasons.
You know, Democrats don't vote.
How about this one?
Let's talk about this.
What do we have here?
The Sacramento Bee.
Undocumented individuals deserve a chance at home ownership.
This bill would help.
Oh, and you can see the cult member flag in the background.
Why is California... Why do they want to give non-citizens homes?
Because they don't have kids.
Seriously.
No, I know.
The response from many liberals is, of course liberals have children!
Here are my kids!
Do the math!
I'm not talking about you.
I'm talking about, in general, liberals don't have kids.
They tend not to have kids.
So, uh, what happens is, they have a bunch of houses, and they're like, who should live here?
I don't have kids, what do I care?
Give it to the illegal immigrants.
Fine.
Just don't bring it to my neighborhood.
Sell your state away.
Now, in reality, they're cheating at the federal level, and there's no reason for a union of states to tolerate this.
And I don't believe that it will.
California is giving away its land to non-citizens, and then bringing them in so that they can vote in our union.
If you want to enforce a union of states, and argue that states cannot leave and secession is unconstitutional and illegal, You first have to explain and defend why other states, not just California, are violating the rules and the laws of this country to empower themselves and steal power in such a union.
I don't think that system can maintain itself.
And I think a system like that will likely collapse.
So we look at, Sacramento Bee, how quickly people forget the COVID pandemic and our reliance on essential workers, many of them undocumented.
Don't care!
You know what really grinds my gears?
Let me tell you about what this country, the democratic establishment is built upon.
Laziness.
It's the best way to explain it.
Why do they want to blow up Russia and overthrow Syria?
unidentified
Because they don't want to do work!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
They want to live in a world where they control the flow of money and energy.
They want illegal immigrants to do the essential workers, undocumented.
I'll tell you this.
The jobs report revised, jobs were revised down.
The greatest number in like 15 years, like 800 and something thousand jobs were removed.
Trump said it was a fraudulent attempt at boosting the job numbers.
Whatever, whatever, whatever.
Did you know?
We don't have enough people to continually add jobs.
It's just not a reality.
Take all the people who aren't working and give them jobs, and we're still not adding people.
And as more people die and retire, jobs are going to go down.
Jobs going down is bad for the fractional reserve economy, where the Federal Reserve dumps money and prints it to do whatever they want, and they want to maintain that system.
Now, if we had sound currency and real trade, here's how it would work.
Inflation would be rather minimal, if at all, and people would trade amongst themselves and the market would expand.
People would go and move to areas and acquire land and build things where they needed to build things.
That's true to a certain extent, but we exist in a society where fractional reserve banking prints money.
The government basically just creates money upon the issuance of debt, causing inflation.
In order for that system to survive, there have to be more jobs, more workers, and an expanding economy to cover the bills, to pay the debts that we borrowed from ourselves.
So, if the U.S.
US government spends $35.2 trillion.
They have to keep making more money to cover the interest on the loans.
So, people look at the national debt and they assume it's like, the government just has this bill if they don't have children.
unidentified
No, no, no.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
It's across the board.
It's a bunch of things.
It works in a variety of ways.
Largely, like, the federal government will say, we're going to extend the debt ceiling, meaning we can now accrue debt very easily.
They go to a... Put it this way.
Let's say you have zero dollars in your bank account.
You hire a contractor and say, my wife has extended my debt ceiling to $10,000.
Contractor, build me a patio and we have a budget of $10,000.
He says, okay, I can do this much work for $10,000.
It's not a whole lot to be honest.
You go, okay.
He does the work.
You've paid him nothing.
You are now in debt.
You are in debt $10,000 plus interest.
And so he says, okay, I've built this for you.
Time to start paying me back.
And you go, okay.
We'll pay you back $50 a month interest plus $500.
So you don't actually need to give them the $10,000 now.
You just need to bring in enough to cover that cost per month.
This is what the government does largely.
It's not the only thing they do.
But it's largely how they do it.
That system cannot sustain itself unless, because of the interest payments, they keep going up.
Actually, look at it like a student loan debt.
When the people say something like, I borrowed $20,000, 20 years later I've paid back $20,000 and I owe $33,000.
Right, because of deferments and interest rates, the debt keeps going up.
You'll never pay it back.
So what do you need to do?
Well, you as the guy who bought the patio, you're like, okay, this interest, I can't, I'm struggling to afford, and so how much I owe is actually going up now.
I need to bring in more money into this house to cover those costs.
So what do you do?
Roommate!
Who wants to rent a room?
You come here, you pay me X amount of dollars.
I need that to cover my debts.
You then increase your debt ceiling.
Now that he came in, you're like, I'm paying off the patio.
I'm gonna increase the debt limit again to 20,000.
Call back the contractor and say, expand.
We got a new debt limit.
Uh-oh, now the interest is higher.
Eventually, you invite 50 roommates to live in your three bedroom house.
Everyone's cramped shoulder to shoulder.
It sucks.
And then people, it just breaks down.
This is what we're facing as a country.
Now imagine you only spent what you had.
You made money, you paid the guy when you had the money.
Imagine a society like that.
You wouldn't be able to spend whatever you want whenever you wanted.
And this is what the democratic establishment fears.
They want to live in a world where they can just spend whatever they want with no repercussions.
They will constantly need new people.
Always.
To cover the expanding costs of them spending money we don't have.
We are borrowing from ourselves in the future.
We are basically saying, don't worry, I can pay you back.
Then we're going to our neighbors and being like, how are we going to, or your wife or whatever, and saying, how are you going to pay the bill back?
Don't worry, we'll invite some new roommates in to pay rent, and that'll give us enough money to pay it back when we have to pay it back.
That doesn't work forever.
That's what they're trying to do.
That's what they're literally doing.
A country in this structure cannot survive.
And so what we're seeing now is the repercussions.
I absolutely love this.
Look at this one.
Look at this one.
From MSNBC.
Police rebut right-wing claims of migrant takeovers in Colorado and California.
Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and other conservatives help spread false claims about immigrants taking over apartment complexes and school buses.
From Fox 31, Denver.
It's infuriating.
Denver's mayor addresses alleged Venezuelan gang crime, saying, uh, it's infuriating, it should never have happened in the state, should never happen in Denver.
You're going to have a small number of folks who come, whoa, wait a minute, what?
What is this?
I thought MSNBC said it wasn't happening.
Ah.
They're lying to you.
They are trying to convince you to keep taking the drugs.
And I mean that in terms of the Federal Reserve.
Let your country burn down as they extract as much as they can from you and your children.
That's the reality.
You cannot have a fractional reserve system built on debt unless you keep bringing in new workers to pay the bills for the increasing debt.
You gotta pay the debt down!
That's one way to do it.
Donald Trump certainly didn't.
Trump had mass spending.
But welcome to modern society, my friends.
It's just going to get worse.
This is why they're going to give homes to non-citizens.
They don't have children.
They want undocumented individuals to get amnesty.
Nancy Pelosi said it.
She wants to move 20 million people from non-citizens to citizens.
This will cause a massive disruption to the American cultural system.
The system already can't sustain itself, and what do they think is going to happen?
They think they're going to make it through this politically?
All they're doing is making sure they burn the country down so they can extract.
I'm telling you, the Titanic hit the iceberg, and these people are grabbing as much as they can and rushing the lifeboats before people realize the ship is sinking.
Donald Trump is basically saying, we can still salvage this ship, but we have to stop the extraction and the poor leadership.
We've gotta start repairing the hull.
Build a wall down there, repair the damage, then we gotta start working by getting this water out before the ship goes down.
Democrats are just like, nah.
Extract, extract, extract.
The Democrat plan is with what little life is left in the Titanic, with the massive rip in its hull, ram it full speed into a foreign country, and then take their stuff.
Yeah.
Good luck, man.
Now I'll tell you why conservatives are so mad, it's fairly obvious.
The birthright of the children of conservatives, because they have kids, still not enough, not at replacement levels, is being given away.
Soon it won't matter.
With conservative fertility rates below two, below replacement, we are increasingly moving towards a future where conservatives will be in the exact same boat as Democrats unless they start having kids.
Many do, don't get me wrong.
But the replacement rate among conservatives is like 1.83 and among Democrats like 1.05.
So certainly Republicans are nearly 2 to 1, that's good, but you will still end up in a position where Republicans have dwindling communities, which we see, these small towns are evaporating, and liberals will replace liberals with illegal immigrants.
And they'll try to recruit conservative kids.
Conservatives need to have, right now, I ain't even kidding, have five kids.
Now I heard the argument, people saying, it's too difficult to do.
Oh boy, you betcha.
Absolutely it is.
And it'll only get harder.
Have fun.
That's it.
Imagine what it must have been like.
Man, I love this.
I was reading about the Pilgrims and Plymouth Rock and all that stuff.
Jamestown.
And the first settlers.
I think Jamestown saw, what, like 80% of its colonists die?
It died!
Imagine living in a big city and being like, it's not good here.
The politics are bad.
The religious restrictions are bad.
I got an idea.
Let's take what little money we have Buy a boat charter to set sail for a barren continent and roll the dice.
They did.
The Mayflower Pilgrims were like, we're gonna jump on this boat.
We're gonna set sail.
I think it was 10 weeks.
They landed near Massachusetts.
And they were just like, all right.
It's fall.
There's no food.
Winter is coming.
They did prepare supplies to make it through the first winter.
And it's not as stupid as you might think.
The idea being we've got this big ship.
People can live on the ship.
You're going to build settlements as fast as you can.
And then we're going to try to use these supplies to live until spring.
We can start the crops and plant.
It didn't work out so well.
And a bunch of them died.
More people died at Jamestown.
But just imagine that.
And so when people tell me it's like, it's too hard.
I can't afford it.
You don't understand.
I'm like, no, no, no.
I completely understand.
I also understand that the colonists just literally died.
To be pioneers, and it was really, I love Jamestown, I'm reading about Jamestown, because the people who showed up were just not prepared for outdoor life.
They were city folk, and there was like a Viscount or something, and they just did not know how to rough it and live in the wilderness.
But they were just like, we have to do this!
So my question to you is, are you going to have many, many babies?
So that you can raise individuals who will fight to restore this country and reject the insanity of the far left and their insane policies, or will it be too hard?
And I'm not telling you gotta do anything.
I'm just giving you the basic details which you know, you know, you know it's true.
If conservatives don't have kids, this country breaks apart and falls apart.
It's simple.
That's just it.
I'm gonna wrap that one up there, my friends, and we're gonna jump to the next story, of course.
We're talking about Taylor Swift!
You guys are gonna love this one.

Uncle Sam says, Tim, how many shutdowns have there been in history?
How many times the government really shut down?
Was in army during shutdowns, we still worked.
It's an empty, meaningless threat and they know it.
The shutdowns affect the bureaucratic state, largely.
And this is a lot of, there's a lot of people.
And so they don't get their paychecks.
If you're in the military, certain personnel still keep working and your pay is deferred or whatever.
I'm pretty sure that's what happens like, you just get back pay when they turn the military, like when they turn the government back on or whatever.
Shiksui says, how many beanies do you have in your collection?
I wouldn't call my t-shirts a collection of t-shirts, or my socks a collection of socks.
But, uh, I got a bunch.
I actually have a stack right in front of me because when I skate.
So, uh, let me explain the history of the beanie.
So, uh, there are photos of me wearing a baseball cap.
Back in the day.
These are basically fashionable sweatbands, as it were.
So when you're skating, like especially as a teenager, you gotta wear a sweatband.
The sweat will roll into your eyes and all over your face and you're constantly shaking the sweat off.
It's crazy.
You sweat a lot skating.
And so a lot of skateboarders, not all of them, especially if you're super sweaty.
I'm a ridiculously sweaty person.
I sweat like three minutes into a workout and my shirt is drenched.
It's nuts.
So, at first, it's a baseball cap, and then you start getting the sweat line staining into the hat, and the sweat drips off and pours down your back.
It's really funny, it goes into the brim of the hat and falls down, and you're like, it's ridiculous.
And so then, skaters, if you go to the Lower East Side in Manhattan, even during the summer, you'll see skateboarders wearing beanies.
They're sweatbands, basically.
And the skaters will wear them because it wicks the sweat off their face, and to the back, where it pours down the back.
It's gross, right?
So, basically, I have a bunch of beanies that function like sweatbands.
So when I'm skating, the sweat isn't pouring down my face.
And, uh, that's it for the most part.
And it was basically like skater fashion.
And so, uh, I always had a beanie on in everything I did.
All of my photos going back, it was either a baseball cap and a beanie.
And then we had these hippie, uh, brimmed, uh, beanies that were a thing for a while.
And that's it.
So now I always wear it.
And it became like, uh, I was, uh, at Occupy during the winter wearing the beanie.
And then I had a marketing guy say, you're the beanie guy.
And I got featured in a bunch of magazines as the beanie guy.
And they said, make that your thing.
And I said, okay.
And so I did.
That's basically it.
And there are a lot of people that are like, he's only wearing it because he's bald.
I'm like, well, I don't know.
It's really funny.
My favorite thing is, there's a profile picture I took of myself, several of them, where I'm not wearing the hat and I'm bald.
There are like these, these people post the picture of me and I'm like, you're, you're posting myself, like you're posting my picture that I took and posted to the internet.
I don't get it.
Like, oh, whatever.
Well, you can do whatever.
Say, say whatever you want.
That was it.
Yeah.
The guy worked for Puff Daddy actually.
And he was like, Oh, that, that carries a lot of weight these days, huh?
He was like, look, look, all these shots that you got, like, look at the style that you have.
And people are referring to this way.
You should do that.
And I was like, okay, so I did.
That's it.
That's about it.
Breaking news, school on lockdown amid reports of an active shooter.
Is it not going to let me open this?
I don't want to lose my Travis Kelsey story.
unidentified
What do we have here?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Georgia school on lockdown amid reports of an active shooter.
Fox 5 Atlanta is reporting.
This is Appalachee High School.
Developing.
Alright.
Let's talk about Taylor Swift, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh boy.
We got the story from the Daily Mail.
This broke yesterday.
It's causing a lot of controversy.
The story is that a contract leak showing that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are going to have a fake breakup.
It's a fake relationship.
They're going to say they're looking for privacy at this time.
But now their lawyers are claiming it's fake!
It's not true!
This is a real relationship and nobody believes it.
I do not believe for a second that Travis Kelsey is actually in a real relationship with Taylor Swift.
Just in my opinion.
It seemed from the get-go like a fake PR relationship.
However, I'll give Taylor Swift this.
Taylor Swift is a large—she gets attacked by conservatives a lot for being a Democrat, and they were accusing her of—she's gonna endorse a candidate and all that stuff, and I'm just saying, like, dude, stop making people your enemies, okay?
Don't do that.
Taylor Swift is a pop star.
She's very popular.
There's no reason to attack and insult her.
If she makes an endorsement, your response should be critical, but should be polite criticism.
Say, Taylor, we love you so much.
You know, we hope you consider an argument and hear what we have to say.
This idea of insulting and attacking regular people who endorse people, it's silly.
But I think Taylor Swift's conservative.
I do.
I mean, isn't she from Nashville?
I don't know where she's from.
But there are a lot of pop stars, or I'll put it this way.
Taylor Swift is not doing WAP.
She's, I don't know, look, she's like regular run-of-the-mill pop star, and she's singing songs about having a family now and being in relationships.
I think conservatives try to embrace this.
And there was a period where a lot of people on the right were claiming that she was secretly alt-right or based or whatever, because she was Christian or something like that.
And then I think because of that, she countered with some political messaging.
Now I think she's mostly staying out of it.
But I'm willing to bet that she's actually fairly conservative.
I'll give her this.
Why would she be in a real relationship with Travis Kelsey?
Why would this be real?
Travis Kelsey is a large, physically-imposing, successful man, and she is in her thirties and probably wants to have kids.
She is a girl boss who's powerful and the breadwinner and has money.
She does not need a man who's going to make money for her.
She'll be rich for the rest of her life, no matter what she does.
She just wants, now, a specimen, as one would call it.
So, uh, she finds a genetically, uh, right guy for her?
I don't know, he's tall, he's physically capable.
That's all she needs, right?
So it does make sense.
That being said, I think there's a greater likelihood the whole thing was a fake stunt, and this story's getting pretty big.
Check it out.
When Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce confirmed they were dating, the singer's fans were convinced she had found the one.
In fact, it's a love story that actually could be a Hollywood movie.
Pop star and the sportsman who fell in love as the world watched.
But tonight, Mr. Kelsey's reps were forced to deny that they have plans to split later this month after a document written on the headed paper of the USPR company was spread online.
The paperwork, which appears to have been created by Los Angeles-based firm Full Scope, reveals a strategy to make their split and says the date for an announcement is September 28th.
It also outlines a supposed plan to release an official statement at the end of this month, three days post-breakup, to allow the initial media frenzy to settle and ensure clarity.
It adds the announcement will be gracious, respectful, and stress-mutual.
Laying out what the statement would say, they write, example, Travis and Taylor have decided to part ways after careful consideration.
They both value and respect each other's personal lives and appreciate your respect for privacy during this time.
So here's the image.
And it says, uh, full scope public relations, comprehensive media plan for Travis Kelsey's public relations, uh, following breakup with Taylor Swift, confidentiality notices.
This document is intended for internal use only and contains confidential information regarding the media strategy for Travis Kelsey.
It should not be shared with any external parties or unauthorized individuals.
All details within this document are sensitive and designed to manage the public image of Travis Kelce effectively.
Unauthorized distribution or disclosure of this information is strictly prohibited.
Key messages.
Now this is interesting.
How many pages?
It says this is on Emily's desk right now.
The alleged contract which reads, comprehensive media plan for Travis Kelce's public relations following breakup, You can see here, media interviews, select interviews, sports outlets, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, The Atlantic, Lifestyle and Entertainment, Vanity Fair, GQ, People Magazine, latest news, major local TV stations and newspapers, talking points, focus on Kelsey's recent sports achievements and future goals, emphasize his respect for Taylor Swift and the mutual decision to part ways, avoid discussing personal details about the relationship or breakup,
Example, Travis is excited about the upcoming season and is working hard to bring his best to the field.
Both Travis and Taylor respect each other and are focusing on their individual paths.
This is crazy, it writes.
Inside the alleged contract, it says blah blah blah.
Okay, sure, whatever.
So I'm wondering where this came from.
It says the paperwork also states, Focus on personal growth.
They plan to send it to major media outlets with a press release to ensure broad coverage.
However, tonight a spokesman for Fullscope insisted that they were entirely false and fabricated and were not created, issued, or authorized by his agency.
The rep also said they have called in lawyers, though they are not expected to find the culprit.
They said, we have engaged our legal team to initiate proceedings against the individuals or entities responsible for the unlawful and injurious forgery of documents.
Not all fans believe the statement, which was first shared on Reddit.
This is actually pretty fascinating, if you ask me, because I don't know how you sue over this.
And my personal opinion is that it's a real document.
Who took the time to make a multi-page document laying out a media strategy for the breakup, and then posted pictures which appear to be from Instagram or TikTok, shared them on Reddit?
The interesting thing about this, if someone did forge this, the person who posted this post wrote, this is on Emily's desk right now.
Who's Emily?
It doesn't look like it's, what is this bar?
Is that Instagram or something?
I think it's Instagram, right?
And so, I don't know how you sue someone over this.
If someone made a gag document as a prank and put it on their friend's desk to freak them out, and someone posts it, what are you going to do about it?
No one accused anyone of anything.
They just said, this is there.
The person he only responded with, yeah, it was a gag.
We were pulling a prank on our friend.
Our friend thought it was a fake relationship, so he made this fake thing and gave it to him.
That's it.
We didn't realize someone was going to post it.
It wasn't for distribution.
They say spokesperson insists it was fabricated.
They say that we've engaged our legal team to initiate proceedings against the individuals or entities responsible for the unlawful and injurious forgery of documents.
One follower on Reddit pointed out that a red light reads like a high school assignment, while another said it appeared to look like it had been created by a chat GPT.
I don't agree with that.
Meanwhile, a spokeswoman For Ms.
Swift didn't respond when asked if she wanted to comment on the split.
Kelsey is represented at the U.S.
firm by Jack Ketosian and Pia Malihi.
Mr. Ketosian has admitted to putting together showmances where celebrities are set up for publicity before.
Featuring in an Australian podcast for Mamma Mia's The Quickly in 2019, Mr. Ketosian said the fake romances are generally put together if one has a firm or something to promote or distract from unappealing publicity like a project flop.
He said at the time, it's to be able to sell the hype of it.
Whether a concert, album, or getting people to go see a movie, it's all about the hype in the moment.
Many people have pointed out in the past that Travis Kelsey's, the women he dates, are not at all like Taylor Swift.
She's not his type.
Is that, who is that?
Is that Tom Hiddleston?
Yeah, it is.
Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston pictured were accused of being a showmance to avert attention away from her breakup with Calvin Harris in 2016.
Is this what she does?
I'll tell you this.
The rumor I heard among a bunch of people is that Taylor Swift is gay.
I don't know that that's true, but I heard this like a long time ago, that she has this, again, I don't know if this is true or not.
This is just a rumor from somebody who is a big Swifty that Taylor Swift is known to travel around with like one particular woman for this period or something like this.
I don't know.
It's probably not true.
He wanted to say the main clue would be, if a high-profile male went on a date, went on to date a not-so-high-profile female, and they became the most talked-about person overnight.
Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston were accused of being a showmance.
They dated briefly.
After months of speculation, they went public, blah blah blah.
I think this fits all the details of it being totally fake.
Travis Kelce was not that big.
He's famous, don't get me wrong, but Taylor Swift is a megastar.
So you have Taylor Swift all of a sudden dating this guy, And the Super Bowl, and the special romance, the hype, all of it fits perfectly with it being a fabrication, in my opinion.
Some thought that it was going to be for political purposes, and this is why the story ends up being so big.
Not that I care all that much about celebrity gossip, but this does get at the heart of how fake the media is.
But more importantly, a lot of people thought what was going to happen was, at the Super Bowl earlier this year, Kelsey would propose to Taylor Swift, And then she would make an endorsement of the Democrats, or say something to that effect.
Or, he'd propose, it'd be big news, and she'd be wearing a shirt, or something like that.
None of that manifested.
None of it happened.
Take a look at this from TMZ.
Travis Kelsey, yes, Taylor's drawing up plays.
I call shenanigans on this.
I just don't think it's... I don't think their relationship was ever real.
Travis Kelsey says, Taylor is drawing up plays for the Chiefs.
They are trying to mix these markets.
They are trying to get sports fans to pay attention to Taylor Swift, and Taylor Swift fans to watch sports.
I actually don't think it's a bad thing.
And I think a lot of conservatives should embrace it.
I'll tell you why.
Taylor Swift was at the Super Bowl, and the big issue was people being like, it's fake, it's bad, she's going to endorse Democrats.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Okay, I'll tell you this now.
Daughters are going to be watching the Super Bowl with their dads.
And you're going to have dads talking to their daughters.
And the response from the dad should be to praise Taylor Swift, not attack Taylor Swift.
Don't push your kids away.
When your swifty daughter is like, I want to watch the Super Bowl with you, Dad, because Taylor's going to be there.
And you'll be like, yeah!
And then most of it is the game.
And he can explain that to his daughter.
Let that be a bonding moment.
I think it's a good thing.
Travis Kelce's team speaks out over the breakup contract.
They denied it.
They said it was fake.
This we know.
We've engaged our legal team.
Yeah, we get it.
The paperwork included a template read, you know, they're gonna part ways.
Nobody knows what's real anymore.
Let me tell you this.
September 4th, 2024, it says today, Taylor Swift boyfriend Travis Kelsey and Jason Kelsey signed a seemingly crazy $100 million podcast deal, but it also may be a good deal for Amazon.
Amazon's Wondery Podcast Network paid $100 million for the Kelsey's New Heights podcast.
Who got the better deal?
Uh, the Kelsey's did.
This is crazy.
Absolutely crazy.
Uh, what's Travis Kelsey's podcast?
Let's look it up.
They have a podcast.
What's their podcast called?
New Heights?
They got 2 million followers.
I'm gonna pull this one up, take a look at their numbers real quick.
I don't really care to listen to it.
Let's see.

Are these... Is this for real?

Okay, a million views.
One week ago.
Let's see, next full podcast is, they have clips, they go up, the clips are alright, the clips get like a couple hundred thousand, sometimes ten thousand or so.
Looks like most of these are just clips and not actual episodes.
Here's another episode, nine hundred thousand views.
This show is moderately sized.
It's pretty good.
2.44 million subscribers.
The weird thing is subscribers don't really matter all that much these days because they don't translate to viewership in the way they used to.
And some people have massive subscriber counts and low per episode view counts.
I gotta tell you, the amount of views that he's getting does not warrant a $100 million deal unless it's... What are we looking at?
They get exclusive audio and video rights to all old and new content, as well as the right to add sales.
How long is the deal for?
A three-year deal, so it's $33.3 million per year, split between each of them, so they're getting just around, I don't know, $16, $17, $16 million a year each.
to do this show just over a million bucks a month to do this show.
That's a crazy deal.
That's an absolutely crazy deal to spend in a podcast $100 million over three years for a show that gets around a million.
I'm really surprised.
Let me let me do one more thing.
Let's do a let me check one more thing.
Pull up one more metric.
New Heights Podcast.
We'll take a look.
And the 30th largest podcast in the US.
I think they got an excellent deal on this one.
But you know why they got an excellent deal on this one?
Because Taylor Swift boyfriend.
That's really it.
That's the name of the game, ladies and gentlemen.
It was a great deal.
I wonder how much, assuming the relationship was fake, it cost to do this PR stunt.
Because it made a lot of money for the NFL.
It made a lot of money for Kelsey.
And I want you to imagine this.
A PR firm comes to you and says, look, let's say you're in a band.
You're in a moderately large band.
You tour.
The band sold a decent amount.
You're not playing them.
And they go, we've got a super celebrity movie star.
And we want to boost their ratings.
We want to this there's concern over Taylor Swift.
Let's say she's aging, not in a relationship.
She needs something for PR purposes.
We need this.
They go to the NFL.
It's going to be huge for you.
We're going to get her name in every football game.
It's going to be big news.
It's great for her brand.
It's already big.
And guess what?
She was doing the Eros Tour.
The more press, the better.
You're this dude and you're like, wow, I'm going to make so much money.
I'm going to be, you're going to skyrocket in the press.
I think it's all fake.
Welcome to reality though, my friends.
It ain't real.
It ain't real.
It's kind of sad.
It's kind of crazy.
But I'm not surprised there are people who think that the CIA is funding podcasts or people are paid off.
I'm not surprised there are leftists that claim that I get paid by rich billionaires.
I mean, they're communists, they don't understand how to do hard work.
But we live in a world where everything is fake!
So I wouldn't be surprised.
I do wonder myself, where does all that money come from for these big shows?
Amazon, 100 million dollars on this podcast.
Wow.
That's what happens when you're Taylor Swift's boyfriend, I gotta tell you what.
That's crazy.
Isn't that deal comparable to like Joe Rogan's deal?
Joe Rogan was getting 10 times the viewership?
It's a crazy new world, my friend.
Crazy new world.
We'll wrap that up there.
Next segment is coming up at 6 p.m.
on this channel.
We got it lined up for you.
We're gonna be talking about CNN!
They really are desperate, aren't they?
They rehired Brian Stelter and everyone's shocked by this.

You do you, just we don't put that in schools.
You know what I'm saying?
And vote for Trump.
I'll take it.
Anybody voting for Trump?
Okay, go do it.
Go do it.
Let's jump to this last segment here.
Oh boy, it's... It's a slow news day, as you may have noticed.
And we have this story breaking.
CNN has rehired Brian Stelter as chief media analyst.
I have changed a lot since I signed off two years ago.
Brian?
I say this, you're not a smart man, okay?
I don't understand why you can't Google search things, unless you are a smart man, but you're an evil man.
I made this graph a while ago, and I responded to the Krasensteins, the liberal pundits, for those that aren't familiar.
And it is a graph that I had my friend Chet GPT produce for me.
The graph shows an inverse correlation between intelligence and honesty.
And so, honesty is zero is, you know, right bottom and the left.
And intelligence is 200, but honesty is zero.
And as you become more honest, you become stupider.
The point, it was really funny, because a lot of people, a few people completely understood it.
And I appreciate that.
A lot of people are just couldn't get it.
And they were like, what are you saying?
You're saying he's really smart?
I don't understand.
Like you're calling him super intelligent?
200 IQ?
And then one guy was like, no.
He's saying he either knows he's lying or he's a moron.
Yes.
Those are your choices.
Or he could be in the middle of average intelligence and lying half the time.
That's fine too.
Brian Stelter exemplifies this oh so well.
And so many of these pundits and personalities are.
Either this guy knows he's lying and he's evil, And smart?
Or he's just real dumb?
Real dumb.
Oh boy, the Postmonial Reports!
Brian Stelter's making a return to CNN and his Reliable Sources newsletter.
An email to subscribers of that newsletter revealed that Stelter will be coming back to helm the publication on September 9th, just one day before the first and perhaps only presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Trump.
We're going to have, mind you, a special show with members of Congress in D.C.
for the debate.
It's going to be big.
We're working on it now and we're excited for it.
Quote, this is not going to be back to the future remake, Stelter told readers, the media industry has matured, CNN has evolved, and I have changed a lot since I signed off two years ago.
I loved my old life as the anchor of a Sunday morning show, but to borrow some lingo from my video game blogger days, I finished that level of the game, time for a new level, new challenges.
I'd put it this way, you're playing a video game, and you get to the final boss, and then the boss defeats you, you lose all your gear, and your last save was at level one, and you're like, I gotta start all over again!
I just, oh man.
We've all been there.
All of us who have played the video game, especially an RPG that requires you to save, you played for two hours, you then got to the boss, you didn't save, and then you didn't realize you were gonna lose, and then all of that progress is erased, and you're just like, you turn the game off.
I can't do it.
I can't do all that over again.
Brian Stelter, of course, this is his life.
And he needs money.
So he's, okay.
He's gonna be the chief media analyst for CNN, which he said, per Variety, means, I'll be appearing on air, developing digital content, and helming this newsletter.
It will be different because I'm different.
I bet they're paying him less as well.
I always scoffed at people who said getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me, until, well, it happened to me.
Stelter found a... What do we call that?
Come on.
He gets fired and he's just like, people... I always scoffed at people who said getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me, until it happened to me, and then when they offered me my job back, I came running for it.
Stelter founded Reliable Sources in 2015, but the television program was cancelled in 2022, and Stelter left the network.
Oliver Darcy, who took over the newsletter, also a liar.
That guy lies a lot.
Talk about a failed network.
Absolutely failed network.
after Stelter left, left himself in August to start his own newsletter called Status.
Stelter was let go under the leadership of Chris Licht, who took over for Zucker after he was
removed from his position, but then was himself removed and replaced by Mark Thompson, who
previously worked with The New York Times, as well as the BBC. Talk about a failed network.
Absolutely failed network. Here you go. Deadlines, uh, deadlines.
Here's what matters.
Here's why I'm talking about ol' Brian Seltzer.
Donald Trump reveals the podcast that Barron loves.
but viewership is still well below the last presidential cycle.
Well I gotta tell you.
Here's what matters.
Here's why I'm talking about old Brian Seltzer.
Donald Trump reveals the podcast that Barron loves.
He's a big fan.
Trump revealed his son Barron is a regular watcher of Theo Von's podcast this past weekend
during a sit down with the host that aired last night.
Just before the interview started, Trump told the comedian that his youngest son, Barron, 18, is a big fan of the podcast.
He knows you very well, Barron.
Dad, he's big.
The interview was filmed at the former president's country club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Trump candidly discussed his family during that chat, and he praised Barron's brains and brawn.
He plays golf, soccer.
He's very good at soccer.
He's a very good athlete, Barron, he told the host.
He's getting set to go into the fall.
A good college.
He's smart.
Smart guy.
He was always a very good student.
Smart.
He's a smart guy, Trump said.
I've heard that, too, about Barron.
Met a few people who know him.
They say that Barron is one of the smartest guys politically.
I believe it.
I do.
He's a young guy, but he's now grown up over the past, I mean, eight years.
He's a little kid when Trump starts his campaign, and Barron witnesses all of these things, all the things he knows not to be true.
He's forced to learn about this.
I think Barron's going to be a major political force.
We'll see.
You know, one person I talked to who knew him said that Barron wants to focus on building a life for himself, establishing a career and an expertise before he gets involved in major public endeavors and things like that.
I think that is very, very intelligent.
But here's the main point.
Barron's talking to Donald.
Talking to the big guy, the boss, they call him, about what shows to go on.
Trump's improving in the polls and the prediction markets, and I think this has a lot to do with Trump going on these podcasts, speaking with people.
We had him on for about 20 minutes, just shy of 20 minutes a few months ago.
He's now been going on these on these podcasts quite a bit, quite a bit.
And in doing so, I think it's greatly improved him, improved his standing, and the reason for it is You go on cable TV, you talk for two minutes.
What does that do?
People are passively not paying attention and then the media talks and people absorb this.
You're on a podcast, people hear from you and they hear whether you're going to actually respond.
They're getting a real down.
That's the point of talking about these cable ratings.
CNN's viewership is in the gutter.
Take a look at this.
This is nuts.
Cable news networks continue to see ratings bounce in August.
Well, I don't think the campaign is driving this.
Ratings always jump up after summer.
People are now going back inside.
When it's really hot out or raining, you'll see your ratings go up.
I love this.
I love watching the... It was in the early days of YouTube.
You had a lot of people who would be like, I put up a video and it's being shadow banned.
There's no viewers on it.
I remember I made a video.
My podcast, the youtube.com slash timcast podcast, used to used to get around like 300 to 500,000, half an hour long, views on YouTube.
And we switched things up.
That channel now is the Culture War podcast clip channel, which we'll put more stuff on it, you know, eventually in the future.
1.35 million subscribers.
Channel still grows, but now it's just clips from the Culture War, so it's mainly focused on cultural issues.
And we had the Culture War on there for a while, and even that show is doing really, really well, but once a week.
And I forgot where I was going with that.
But the point is, I used to do this show, and the ratings we got on these podcasts rival that of cable news in the key demo.
And that's massive.
Absolutely massive.
Oh yeah, I remember my point.
I got off on a tangent.
But I remember one day I put up an episode, and the viewership was really low.
It was like a hundred and something thousand.
And I was just like, wow, you know, I wonder what it is.
It was a bright and beautiful sunny day.
And I'm like, hmm, it's weird.
I see all these people, all these other YouTubers complaining that our ratings are down, we're being shadow banned.
It's actually really obvious.
It was the first day, it was sunny after a long period of rain.
It was something like 68 degrees across the East Coast.
I went out to get dinner and every restaurant was packed and the wait times were half an hour.
And I'm like, it's really obvious why your video's not getting a lot of views, dude.
There were heavy storms all across the East Coast.
The rain cleared, and now everyone's going out to get dinner with their families and spend time outside because it's crisp and nice out.
This affects your ratings massively.
People don't get it.
So in August, as the weather starts changing, you're not really gonna go swimming when it's 60 degrees, right?
Labor Day weekend, maybe one of the last days, actually it was pretty cool and crisp on the East Coast, so the water was like 65 degrees.
I don't know if we wanted to swim or not, and that's not bad, but, you know.
So we ended up not swimming.
Your ratings are gonna go up.
So here's what we see.
Take a look at this.
Fox News hit 2.27 million viewers.
CNN got 1.08 million.
It seems really big, right?
Certainly bigger than us, certainly bigger than the podcasts.
No.
It certainly is in the older demographic, 65+, which matters in elections, so that's important too.
But in the key demo, it's nothing.
Look at this.
Fox News averaged 1.43 million in total day, because the other number was primetime.
CNN got 615,000 views total day.
That's not key demo.
Holy crap.
If you take all the views from just my morning show and IRL, which is four hours, not 12 or 16, we do way more than 615,000.
That's crazy.
In the key demo, CNN got 123,000.
All of our views!
Well, 80% of the views here are key demo.
A little bit more, actually, but around 80%.
25 to 54.
CNN and MSNBC are fizzling out.
The reason they're still relevant is because older voters have the most political power because they vote.
And they watch these crackpot channels like MSNBC and CNN, and to a great degree even Fox News, not so good.
I like Gutfeld.
Jesse Watters is pretty good.
But Fox News, not so good.
Ah, give them a C-.
They get some stuff bad.
But it's remarkable to see this shift in where we currently are.
So I'll say, Donald Trump gets it.
These podcasts are where it's at.
And I'd like to pursue a follow-up with this year, Donald Trump, and I'm hoping that we can get a Culture War episode relatively soon with Donald Trump.
I think it'd be very big.
Live.
We may have to do it pre-recorded, perhaps, but that would be great, too, actually.
We got about 20 minutes with Trump.
It was a great interview.
Asked a few key questions, and then he had to go speak to the Libertarian Party.
We were supposed to get a half an hour, but these things happen.
So I think it's maybe getting close to time, two months out, that we do that two-hour-long conversation with Donald Trump.
And I think it'll be very, very interesting.
A lot of questions for the guy.
He's willing to answer them in a sit-down, two-hour-long show with all these other guests.
I think it's time we do this.
And Theovan's great.
Trump is going on these podcasts because they reach regular people.
I'd like to bring a...
a more independent, moderately minded, but very politically esoteric conversation with Donald
Trump and just talk. But I think it'd be pretty good if we did the culture war with more than
just me. I don't know that I'd want to do a straight sit down with Donald Trump. And the
reason for that is if I were to sit down just with him for two hours, we'd get into huge political
discussions. I'd ask him a lot of questions about foreign policy. And ultimately, I think the end
result would break down into general questions about life and business.
So I think it'd be good if I had another person with me so that we can have another perspective on various issues, but we'll see.
We'll see how it goes.
I'm going to wrap this one up here.
It is the end of cable news, my friends.
But it always is, right?
They're just continually dwindling.
I'll wrap it up.

MF Damien says, I missed making fun of that fatty's weird crooked power pose when he'd lean forward in his seat and do a quarter twist like Wybro.
Who are we talking about?
Oh, Brian Stalter.
You're talking about him?
American Dadass says, Hey Tim, always remember God only made so many perfect heads.
All the others he covered with hair.
Keep up the good work.
Aha!
Charles G says, We should remove all warning labels and let nature take its course.
I don't know what the point of warning labels- I mean, like, that's- it's just- it's so stupid, dude.

I'm okay with some warning labels.
I am.
High voltage.
Totally fine.
Don't touch.

Uh, if there's some object that's metal and you don't know that it's electrified, it's not your fault for not knowing that object is electrified.
But if a bottle of water says, don't choke on the cap, your kids might eat it, it's like, dude.
Aw, come on.
A kid could choke on a lot of things.
Corvus says, I was on active duty when the government shut down in the early 2010s.
We got half a paycheck on the first and the other half a month later.
Hmm.

Debbie Nanner says, could you picture Ian and Trump on the culture war?
I'd love to see that.
Yeah, I don't know that I'd bring Ian on the culture war with me with Donald Trump.
I think there's a certain place for that conversation.
The problem is, I think, you know, when we had Roman on the AI Researcher and Simulist with Ian.
Ian made a lot of points that were kind of like pseudo-scientific and out there.
He talked about, what's the guy, Nassar Harriman's theory of proton black hole quantum things or whatever, and it's like, what are you talking about?
So, I mean, that'd be funny.
Certainly be funny.
unidentified
I don't know.

I don't know.
I think a Culture War episode with Donald Trump would be pretty good.
I'd love to sit down and talk with the man one-on-one for two hours, but I feel like...
I don't know that we need another podcast where we say things like, you know, what was it like starting your first business?
You know, they make fun of you for the million dollars, and I think those are good questions, but eventually gets into, as you get through all the political issues and you start getting into personal stuff, that's been done.
That's been done.
So I'd rather be like, let's talk all about the issues.
Let's talk about business.
I'm really interested to hear about the million dollar loan and how he turned a million dollars into a multi-billion dollar empire.
Democrats, they don't understand the value of money.
They think a million dollars is a lot of money.
For an individual, a million dollars is a lot of money.
But let's just pause and talk about a million dollars and Donald Trump.
All right.
You wake up in the morning, you have a million dollars in your bank account.
A million dollars!
And, uh, the IRS is at your door, and you knock, and you're like, looking at your phone, like, what's going on?
The IRS says, sir, uh, we're here to let you know, as official IRS agents, that that money is yours.
You've won, uh, there was a program where we were required to pay back certain amounts of money.
Uh, you received a million dollars.
Just you.
Clean.
Straight.
Tax-free.
Spend it.
Do whatever you want with it.
Make it a nice day.
What do you do?
Honest question.
Chat me.
What do you do?
Million dollars.
Clean.
Guaranteed.
Done.
You call your lawyer or you call a lawyer and he's like, no, no, you're good.
You're good.
Trust me.
You're good.
And you're like, okay.
Joe Biden himself knocks on your door and says, look, man, I'm going to film a video of me saying this.
You're good.
That money's yours.
You got nothing to worry about.
unidentified
All right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Now they're out of the way and there's no stupid arguments of like, yeah, but you never know.
No, okay.
The money's yours.
You know it's yours.
Million dollars.
What do you do?
Now, I'll tell you this.
In business, there's a question that investors like to do when someone offers them a project.
They ask them this question.
Let's say you wake up with a million dollars.
What do you do?
If you say, and a lot of people do say, oh man, I mean, I'd pay off my house, my student loans, get my car fixed.
They go, oh, that's really great.
That's really great.
Well, thank you for hanging out.
You know, we're going to go have a nice day.
Not interested.
Most people say stupid things.
Uh, they say, like, I'm gonna buy a golden statue.
I shouldn't say most, but too many people say, like, man, I'd buy a cyber truck.
Like, okay.
Paying your house?
This is mid-tier.
I gotta pay off my debts, pay off my bills, you know, free things up, maybe take care of my family.
Okay.
Those are reasonable things to say, but I ain't gonna give you any money.
Have a nice day.
Then you have the high-level entrepreneurs who say, The first thing I do is we need a designer.
If I could hire a designer right now, we could expand production.
So I have this company and we produce bow ties.
The bow ties are really great.
We actually have moderate sales, but we do need a new designer so we can make them more lightweight.
They go, stop, stop, stop right there.
How much money do you need?
I'll write the check right now.
It doesn't matter that your idea is good, bad, or otherwise.
It matters that you're focused on solving a problem and building a machine so that they know the money's gonna go towards something good.
Donald Trump gets a million dollars.
The average person's probably gonna, they get a million dollar loan, and if they get a loan, they already have to have a business plan in mind.
If you had a million dollars cash, let's talk about outside of business.
Okay, let's say you buy a house.
Right now, houses are going for, depending on where you're at in a major city, let's say this.
Let's do South Side of Chicago.
You want to live in a city.
Alright?
I'm going to pull this up over here on the side.
And I'm going to look up an address.
Alright.
It's a 5 bedroom, 2 bath, 1,192 square foot house.
The basement is finished and converted into a bedroom.
unidentified
$354,900.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
So let's say you decide, I'm going to buy a house.
unidentified
So you do.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
You buy this house and it's great.
It's good to go.
You pay your fees.
You're going to spend, let's just ballpark it, $375,000 out the window.
Then you're going to do insurance and inspections will be included in all this stuff.
So let's say you're now out $375,000 out of your million.
So now you've got a good $625,000 left, right away.
But you've got a house, it's paid off.
Alright.
Now you've got taxes on this house.
Let me look at the Chicago taxes.
We're looking at... What is this?
Alright, taxes... Oh, interesting.
Let's see.
$21,000 assessment, property taxes, $4,000 off of that.
unidentified
2.9%.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
So that's what you're going to be paying every year.
So you'll need to maintain the house.
Then you got bills.
So a million dollars.
Now you're going to maintain that house.
You're going to buy a car.
Okay.
You're going to get a car right now.
Let's say you want to get a Tesla, $30,000.
Let's just say right now you're down to about $5,500 and some odd thousand dollars.
Buying a house is great.
It's paid off.
You don't got a mortgage.
Okay.
But you're now down to about 500 or so, literally within a few days of you getting this money, if you buy a house.
You buy a vehicle, you pay off your debts, maybe you've got half a million left.
Half of it's gone already.
We're talking about in a week.
Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong.
I mean, paying off your debts, everything, this is fantastic.
And now you've got that clean money.
What do you do with that now?
To make sure you move from being someone who's living paycheck to paycheck to someone who's going to be a multi-billionaire like Donald Trump.
I tell you this.
Good luck.
Good luck.
Let's say you decide I got half a million dollars.
Okay.
You've got a job.
Let's say you're making $70,000 a year.
A little bit better than average, but around average.
And so I can maintain this house.
I can pay my taxes.
I got 500k to invest.
What do you invest in?
Well, real estate's an option.
Let's say you buy another house.
You buy another house to rent out.
You're probably going to make, after you buy the house and rent it out, a couple hundred bucks per month.
So now, that extra cash is down to your rainy day fund.
From $500 or so, minus another $375,000, you've got $125,000 left.
So you put it in a savings account, and you're pretty happy with it.
You're living paycheck to paycheck, still off your salary, but you have that rainy day fund.
We're talking about within a matter of months that whole million is gone and the only thing you've actually established is you own a second property you're renting out that's giving you a couple hundred dollars per month extra.
Congratulations!
You went from making $70,000 a month at your job to adding I don't know, another $6,000 or $7,000 per year.
Let's call it $8,000 per year.
Because you've got maintenance on the property, you've got management on the property.
If you're not going to do it, maybe you do it.
That's a whole lot of work you've got to do to maintain.
You hire a management company.
You end up getting, with market rates, maybe $5,000 to $6,000 a month.
So you're looking at another $5,000 a month.
Let's just say you're at $80,000 a month from doing this.
You don't have to worry about it.
A management company takes care of it and takes a percentage.
You are still not a billionaire after a million dollars.
So now with no mortgage, you're saving a lot more money, but you still are only in this realm.
You could keep living where you're living, buy two properties, and now you're adding another 12,000.
My point is this.
To the average person, buying a house, it's amazing, it's massive.
Maybe you don't want to live in this area, maybe you go somewhere where houses are cheaper.
My point is simply this.
For Donald Trump to take that million dollars and turn it into multi-billions, that takes skill.
Simply put, that takes skill.
So, for a business, a million dollars is not a lot of money right now.
This is not.
I talked about this before, a car dealership in our area, we were talking to the guy who was buying, we were getting a work vehicle for transporting guests.
And I said, we were talking about revenue and stuff, and he said, the dealership pulls in about a million a month.
A million dollars a month, the dealership.
Not from sales, partly, but mostly from maintenance, repairs, window tinting, service, etc.
And the profits are super slim.
So the owner makes six figures, but He owns multiple car dealerships.
So the owner of these multiple dealerships, who's making three or four hundred thousand dollars a year off of his ownership of this, he's living very well.
He's generating five to six million dollars a month, but that money goes into paying all the salaries, paying all the maintenance costs, paying for all the supplies, and the profit margins are much lower.
Long story short, if you woke up with a million dollars, there's a lot you can do, and you're better off.
Absolutely.
You're gonna pay your debts, you're gonna pay your school loans, you're gonna pay your medical bills, and you are jumping up a massive degree.
But you will not be a millionaire.
If you are given a million dollars, you will not be a millionaire.
You'll be a millionaire for a moment, but the moment you spend a dollar, you're not a millionaire anymore.
And so what do you do?
You pay off your debts, and now, let's say you only paid off your debts, and you paid off 50K.
Now you're 50K, you're not a millionaire anymore.
So, I think a lot of people don't understand that while a million dollars does make you rich, and I'm not saying it doesn't, you need a mechanism to replenish and maintain that degree of revenue to truly be rich.
Someone asked, I think it was John McCain a long time ago, how much money do you need to be truly wealthy?
He said seven million dollars.
And people gasped, like, are you crazy?
He's not wrong.
I don't know about the exact number, but he's not wrong.
And he was saying, like, that's the point at which you can invest in things and then be rich forever.
If you had $1,000,000 and you bought three houses at around $300,000 each, then you have all the fees, and you rent them all out, you're going to generate, with a $300,000 house, I'd imagine $500 to $600 a month.
You're getting $1,800 a month.
You are not rich being a landlord with three properties.
You've then got to keep working your other job, save that up.
You've got to own 10 or more, and you're still only adding another, at that point, You're adding $60,000 to $70,000 per month.
I mean, getting to that point is not easy and a million dollars does not take you that far.
Don't get me wrong.
Everybody would love to wake up with a million dollars.
Go on vacation, but it's fleeting.
I knew somebody when I was younger who won a $100,000 settlement from a car accident.
The money was gone in a month.
In a month, the money was gone.
The settlement paid medical bills, which was like $13,000, paid for the car repairs, and then they had like 70K left over, and they're like, this is awesome.
So they ended up selling the old, like, they scrapped the old car, like, I think, I don't know if they did the repairs or sold it, but they ended up getting a new car, that's all I know.
They got a new car, they paid off a bunch of debt, and then within a couple months, they were like, that money's all gone.
Like, it was great, my fridge was full, but once I caught up on everything, I'm back to exactly where I was.
Getting a windfall of cash does not guarantee you can build the mechanism to maintain that cash.
But I'll grab just a couple more Super Chips before we sign off here.
Disrupt IT says, I'm worth $3 million, I'm basically broke.
That's the other funny thing, too.
Where is your money?
Let's say you buy these houses and you can't rent them out.
You buy the houses because you're hoping to rent them out to make some extra money.
You hire a management company and then a few months go by and nobody's renting them for some reason.
The management company says, we got to lower the rent.
And you're like, but now I'm only making 300.
Yeah, well, welcome to investing.
And it's like, but that money's not even covering the costs of the building debt.
Then you get these tenants.
Oh, here's the best part.
Then you get a tenant.
They start pestering the management company.
Things get broken.
You check your statement, and the management company says, your allotment this month is zero.
And you're like, you call them up, why am I getting zero?
I thought they're paying rent.
Well, the stove broke.
So we had to take the money to fix it.
Sorry, you gotta pay that.
Air conditioning broke, had to fix it.
You get zero, you get zero, you get zero.
And then you're like, what am I even owning this property if it's not even working?
It is not that easy.
It takes relentless work, no matter who you are, no matter how much you have, to maintain a system that generates that amount of money.
Debbie Nanner says, Why would I want for money, Tim, if a man has everything he needs?
That's the other reality, too.
You know, when I was negotiating with Daily Wire, they wanted to sign Tim Kast IRL.
And the ultimate issue was, I am but a humble man who requires relatively little.
I don't need infinity pools.
I don't need a yacht.
I don't need those things.
So, you know, I remember NBC once made me an offer a long time ago.
This is 13 years ago.
Wow.
And I said, the amount of money you'd have to pay me isn't worth it for you to pay me because I don't need what you have to offer.
I am a man of humble means and I'm happy doing what I'm doing.
I told this to all, I had a bunch of companies over the years.
They'd offer me money.
We want to pay you X amount of dollars.
And I'd say, double it.
And they go, we won't.
And I said, okay, have a nice day.
Like, sorry.
Daily Wire offered me a good deal.
Actually, the Daily Wire is the best company I've ever negotiated with.
Shout out to Jeremy Boring.
He's a good dude.
And I've negotiated with a lot of companies and they're all so smarmy.
And Jeremy was the first time I actually negotiated with someone.
It sounded like I was actually talking to someone who understood and was being honest about what they wanted to do, why they wanted to do it.
The gist of it was like, I said, a lot of your guys are like suits.
You know, we're more independent.
He's like, exactly the point.
You've got good style.
You're smart.
Here's our strategy for making money.
We think you're leaving money on the table.
We can do that for you.
We'll cover these costs.
We'll pay you this.
It was awesome.
And I just in the end was like, I don't think the amount you're offering me changes my circumstances enough for me to consider doing this.
And I don't think the amount you'd have to offer me would make it worth it for you guys in the end.
And they were like, We get it.
Totally.
So there you are.
Anyway, long story short, I like talking about this stuff with Trump and the million dollars, because it's a big deal that he did this.
Tremendous respect.
I'm gonna wrap it up there.
Jim asks, I can only speak for myself, not currently a member, but would give to a GiveSendGo to support the lawsuit.
I would rather... I mean, I do believe if we launched a GiveSendGo, we'd generate a ridiculous amount of money overnight.
It would sustain press, people would share it.
I don't want to go that route if I don't have to.
Maybe we'll have to in the future because already I know this is going to be tremendously expensive, and it is worrying.
It is worrying, but I have to stand up for myself, for my reputation, for my company, to save my company, and to push back on this malicious, malicious lies.
But I'm going to leave it there.
I'll wrap it up.
