unidentified		Thank you.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		A man tried to assassinate Donald Trump.
		This is the second assassination attempt in only two months.
		Now, fortunately, in this circumstance, the Secret Service was prepared.
		They were scouting the golf course where Donald Trump was.
		They were scouting ahead when they saw a man in the tree line chased after him.
		Now, the reporting I'm hearing now, because it's been conflicting reporting since yesterday, obviously this happens when news is breaking, is that Secret Service fired on the man.
		The man did not fire on Secret Service, but he did have a semi-automatic rifle, body armor, and a backpack.
		It appears he was hiding along the tree line waiting for Donald Trump, who was between 300 and 500 yards away.
		So Trump had quite a bit of distance.
		Police say there was quite a bit of terrain as well with it being a golf course.
		Trump was not in danger.
		But this is a man now, it is being reported, is a Democrat, Biden and Harris supporter.
		He reportedly fought in Ukraine, and there's some very, very strange documents being posted.
		This man, on his Facebook, his social media has since been scrubbed, was not just a fighter for Ukraine, but apparently posted a contract for fighting, tried to recruit, had given multiple interviews over the past couple of years about recruiting for Ukraine, and the connections are rather worrying.
		Now, of course, I think there's a lot of people on the left and the corporate press are trying to play this up as, he backed everybody, he had conflicting opinions.
		I think what we can see from this man is quite clear.
		This is, once again, a Democrat, an anti-Trump person, who is trying to make an attempt on Donald Trump's life.
		Fortunately, and thankfully, Donald Trump is safe in the Secret Service.
		I think they did a great job.
		There are a lot of people who are critical of the Secret Service right now, but they scattered ahead.
		They caught the guy before he can get anywhere near Trump.
		That's what they're supposed to do, and that's what they did.
		So we're going to go into this.
		We've got images, we've got photos.
		And then in this story, I mean, this is absolutely crazy, my friends.
		The corporate press and Democrats, just after this shooting takes place, and this is the Secret Service firing on the would-be assassin who flees.
		It's my understanding.
		They're saying Trump must be stopped.
		They're saying it's Trump's fault.
		They're saying Trump's rhetoric, Trump needs to tone it down.
		The man was playing golf.
		Now there are many questions such as to what degree is there external involvement with this man who was a volunteer fighter for Ukraine, last known residence Hawaii, but for some reason was in Florida.
		How did he know where Trump was going to be?
		Some people are saying he's a CIA asset.
		I don't know, maybe.
		That's stuff you can never really prove, right?
		But it is strange.
		All of it is very, very strange.
		So we're going to go through all of this.
		We've got a bunch of other news.
		Chris Rufo has posted a video, he says, is they now have confirmed proof that migrants are in fact cooking cats.
		Now, the video is being challenged by the corporate press.
		They say that videos of chickens being cooked.
		So Chris Ruffo rejects the saying.
		Not only do they have video, they have eyewitness testimony.
		They have the testimony of the man who watched it happen.
		They have others saying they've heard the same stories.
		So you've got a lot of news coming out that seems to, I think to the best of your ability, confirm the cooking and eating cats story.
		But uh...
		It's really hard to know for sure, but Chris Ruffro is contesting that.
		We'll talk about that.
		Plus, Taylor Swift's endorsement reportedly backfires with one poll showing people are now less likely to vote for Kamala Harris after Taylor Swift endorsed her, which is kind of funny.
		We'll talk about that.
		And then the New York Times has come out and said, ladies and gentlemen, this election, you're going to have no idea who won.
		That's right.
		We're not going to know for some time afterward.
		Give us a month to count your votes.
		Give us two weeks after that, and then we'll let you know who won.

	Let's jump in to the big news right now from The New York Times.
	Trump safe.
	As FBI investigates apparent attempted assassination two months after the attempt on former President Donald J. Trump's life in Pennsylvania, law enforcement officials said Secret Service personnel fired on a suspect at one of Mr. Trump's golf clubs while he was on the course.
	The suspect is in custody.
	They say the latest is that the FBI is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump.
	Mr. Trump was on the course a few hundred yards away when Secret Service personnel spotted a person concealed in the bushes and opened fire, law enforcement officials said in a briefing.
	The suspect fled the scene in a vehicle and was taken into custody during a traffic stop with a rifle with a scope recovered from the bushes along with a camera and two backpacks.
	It was not yet clear whether the suspect had fired any shots, according to Secret Service.
	I can tell you right now, what we are hearing is that, as of this morning, I believe this is from the sheriff, it was body armor indicating that he thought he may be under fire while making this attempt.
	He had a camera.
	He wanted this to be filmed.
	Now I'll give you the timeline of events for those that missed the story yesterday.
	So I also put up a quick live stream on this channel.
	I was at the mall.
	Yeah.
	And saw the breaking news and pulled up a live stream immediately.
	The initial reporting was that where Trump was at this golf course, there was shots fired.
	No one knew exactly what had happened.
	Marjorie Taylor Greene had posted this may be an assassination attempt.
	We don't know.
	Shortly after that, it was the New York Post that reported these were two men uninvolved firing on each other.
	Shortly after that, we heard that there was a rifle recovered from the bushes.
	Information was coming in.
	But the news had gone out that this was not anything to do with Trump.
	Trump was fine, were good.
	And then CNN comes out and says, actually, this was a Trump assassin.
	Now, the initial point was that the initial shots fired were intended for Trump.
	However, we're now learning the man never got any shots off.
	The Secret Service opened fire immediately.
	The man fled, but it appears he was prepared and waiting for Donald Trump to make his way to, I believe, I'm not sure what hole it was, nine or something, where he was going to try and assassinate Donald Trump.
	He had, again, body armor, a camera.
	There's a lot of concern that with the FBI investigating this, we're not going to get a lot of information as to what really happened, who this guy is.
	The information that is coming out is shocking and terrifying.
	Serious questions about an individual who, according to Newsweek, fought in Ukraine.
	There's images of a Ukrainian war contract of some sort.
	What involvement does this man have with Ukraine?
	And I think it stands to reason the interests of Ukraine in not allowing Donald Trump to win.
	The Democrats want to pump money into Ukraine and give Ukraine whatever they need.
	In fact, Democrats and Trudeau and other other Western leaders are advocating for Ukraine to use Western long-range weapons to strike Russian targets in Russia.
	Donald Trump says he wants to end the war and he wants to end the death.
	For those that, if you're the Ukrainian government, you have a vested interest in the Democrats winning because they want to provide funding and resources and Donald Trump doesn't.
	That is a terrifying prospect.
	Ron DeSantis has stated, the state of Florida will be conducting its own investigation regarding the attempted assassination at Trump International Golf Club.
	The people deserve the truth about the would-be assassin and how he was able to get within 500 yards of the former president and current GOP nominee and frontrunner.
	Frontrunner.
	Well, I should say, with recent polls, it's hard to know.
	Some models are saying that Donald Trump is losing.
	Nate Silver has Donald Trump favored to win, so we don't really know for sure.
	But a former president... Now, many people have been calling on Ron DeSantis to launch their own investigation, as they believe the FBI will not properly do this.
	We're likely not going to get that out of Pennsylvania.
	But here's where things get crazy.
	Ryan Wesley Routh is the name of the would-be assassin, suspect, Went to Ukraine to join war.
	This terrifies me.
	Apparently this man, I think we have the story from the post-millennial, had written a book.
	Let me see if I can pull this up.
	He had written a book about how Ukraine must win an unwinnable war and advocated for killing Donald Trump.
	I've got a lot to show you.
	And it's worrisome from the corporate press and from Democrats that have continually pushed this inflamed rhetoric of Trump being a threat to democracy who must be stopped at all costs.
	I can't speak for anybody else.
	I can tell you that I say it every day.
	Donald Trump should be secure, should be safe, they should redouble it.
	Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, security should be doubled.
	They should be safe.
	I wish them the best.
	I just don't like their politics, and I think they're bad people.
	But that's okay.
	That's how this country's always been.
	We need better leadership.
	What we're hearing from Democrats is a bit more extreme than that.
	And now don't get me wrong.
	There are certainly street-level Republican personalities and voters who have rhetoric that is untoward, I would say.
	I certainly think there's more on the left than there is on the right.
	But this is about the corporate press and elected Democrats saying Trump must be stopped.
	He's a threat to democracy.
	They compare him to Hitler.
	And you understand the, and that's the phrase they use, the stochastic terrorism, they call it.
	Take a look at this for the post-millennial.
	Quote, he, I am not, wow.
	I am not going to read that quote.
	This is absolutely insane.
	Ryan Wesley Routh, Routh, however you pronounce it, the man under investigation for a second assassination attempt on Trump, wrote a book with his fiancée about how Ukraine must win the unwinnable war against Russia, in which he discussed Donald Trump being assassinated.
	The book was published last year.
	The Fatal Flaw in Democracy, World Abandonment, it's called Ukraine's Unwinnable War, The Fatal Flaw of Democracy, World Abandonment, and the Global Citizen Taiwan, Afghanistan, North Korea, and the End of Humanity.
	That's a mouthful.
	It was written by Routh and his fiancée, Kathleen Schaefer.
	This is where things get interesting.
	Let's, uh, we'll jump to the Ukraine connection, but first, Daily Mail says, Ryan Routh's shocked neighbor claims everyone was afraid of him before Trump golf course assassination attempt.
	Take a look at this.
	You can see there, Routh has a Biden-Harris sticker on a white pickup truck sitting in the driveway of his Hawaii home.
	This is his house.
	Make no mistake, I mean, this guy's positions are very clear.
	I remember in the Summer of Love, during the George Floyd riots, a man ran up to a vehicle in Provo, Utah, and shot the driver for no reason.
	The driver was not at risk of hitting anybody, the driver was not speeding, the driver was pulling up to an intersection, was attempting to make a turn, and the rioters just ran up and shot this person.
	I think it might have been a woman, I'm not sure, it's been a long time.
	Why?
	I remember Aaron Danielson in, I believe it was Portland?
	Was this Portland?
	He's walking down the street, and a far leftist with a communist tattoo on his neck walks up and puts two in his chest, killing him.
	We have seen many stories like this, and we keep hearing this both-sides-ism.
	Oh, January 6th was bad, certainly.
	Yeah, January 6th is no good.
	It's a riot at the Capitol.
	The worst place for a riot, or one of the worst places for a riot.
	And there were a lot of injuries.
	Some Trump supporters lost their lives.
	The media just lies and acts like that's the apocalypse.
	Certainly it was bad.
	I mean, it's up there in terms of bad, don't get me wrong.
	But when we're looking at 30 plus deaths in the summer of love, when we're looking at the left directly targeting and trying to kill people, when we're looking at this now, A Biden-Harris-Democrat-Ukraine supporter setting up to try and assassinate Donald Trump.
	I think it was the Hodge twins who said, people need to realize that we're at war.
	And that terrifies me.
	I got to tell you, man, you will not, you will not want to live in that world.
	And there are a lot of people that I see on social media that are saying, yeah, right.
	I'm right.
	No, you're not.
	You're just not.
	It's one thing to live in the wilderness and think you can survive.
	Most people can't.
	Even the most trained, hardened man.
	Humans survive with each other.
	But on your own?
	I mean, maybe you can do it with others.
	I'm sure many conservatives are more attuned to survival on their own.
	Homesteading and things like that.
	But I think a lot of people don't realize you combine that with active conflict.
	And it's not something we want to go anywhere near.
	Then a neighbor described the registered Democrat as unusual and was not shocked to learn that guns were involved.
	Now take a look at this.
	Ruth's support for Ukraine.
	A suspect in custody, age 58, appears to have been motivated by frustration with U.S.
	policy on the war in Ukraine.
	That is to say, it's quite simple.
	CNN chief law enforcement intelligence analyst John Miller reported Sunday afternoon that Routh's social media accounts have focused on his self-proclaimed involvement in the war in Ukraine, including his supposed effort to recruit soldiers to fight in the conflict.
	Routh also claimed to have fought in Ukraine as it continues to hold off Russia's invasion.
	Routh appears to have previously spoken with the New York Times about his effort to recruit Afghan soldiers who fled the Taliban to fight in Ukraine.
	At the time of the report, which was published on March 25, 2023, Routh told the Times that he had spent several months in Ukraine in 2022.
	A Semaphore report published on March 10, 2023 cited Routh as the head of the International Volunteer Center in Ukraine, a private organization that works to empower volunteers and other non-profit groups that work to enhance the distribution of humanitarian aid through Ukraine, according to the IVC website.
	I will stress this, Semaphore, they don't mess around.
	I cannot imagine Semafor reporting that this guy had this position without doing any kind of verification.
	It seems this man absolutely was.
	Rahim Kassam on X writes, On May 4th, would-be Trump assassin Ryan Ruth posted this on his Facebook page, which appears to be from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense.
	I asked ChatGPT to translate it.
	This is the document that was posted on social media.
	Now, most of this has been scrubbed.
	I don't read Ukrainian.
	If this is a true and correct translation, I will clarify.
	This is going through ChatGPT according to Rahim Kassam.
	It says, the head of Ivanko Frankist Regional Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support, the command of Military Unit A-7788 has reviewed the candidacy of Redacted, born in Redacted, for military service in Military Unit A-7788 under the contract for the position of shooter.
	It seems to be correct.
	Newsweek is reporting this.
	It goes on and lists the numbers.
	Military rank according to the staff soldier, salary redacted.
	Request assistance in processing the documents if redacted and directing them for further
	military service.
	It seems to be correct.
	Newsweek is reporting this.
	Now here's what I'm concerned about.
	The FBI taking over this investigation, I'm not confident we're going to get a true understanding.
	Florida investigating may be great, but I don't know to what degree they can investigate foreign influence.
	Now let me show you something that's going to piss off all of the deep state, the establishment, and I got it queued up.
	Always do.
	From Politico.
	Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire.
	Take a look at this.
	From January 11th, 2017.
	Donald Trump wasn't the only presidential candidate whose campaign was boosted by officials from a former Soviet bloc country.
	Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office.
	They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were instigating the matter, only to back away after the election.
	And they helped Clinton's allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisors, a Politico investigation found.
	Of course, the man in question, the Trump aide, was Paul Manafort, who actually was convicted I believe he ended up getting convicted.
	It's been a long time, mind you.
	It's been seven years since the story.
	Now, uh, I just have to ask the obvious question.
	And I know they're going to attack me for it.
	I know they're going to claim that, uh, you know, whatever they want to claim.
	This man who fought, according to Newsweek, they say in the headline, in the headline, went to Ukraine to join war.
	They're not saying, I guess, that he was definitively in the war.
	But with this paperwork, it stands to reason This man was actively fighting for Ukraine.
	Semaphore says he was part of international recruitment efforts.
	I want to make sure we stress this.
	They say a Semaphore report said that he was the head of the International Volunteer Center in Ukraine, a private organization that works to empower volunteers, according to the website.
	I wonder to what degree Ukrainian interests may have directed this man.
	They're gonna call me a conspiracy theorist.
	I'm not setting a conspiracy.
	I'm not saying it's true.
	I'm saying as part of any investigation, a man who went to Ukraine, worked with their volunteers, had discussed the assassination of Trump in the past, called for the winning of the war in Ukraine, a country that, according to Politico, had meddled in our election to stop Trump in the first place.
	You have all of these things lined up, and let me stress for you again, Politico claims And I'll just say, Politico claims.
	I don't know if they're telling the truth.
	Politico is a prominent news organization that Ukraine tried to stop Trump in 2017.
	It backfired.
	Today, we have a man who reportedly was involved in the Ukraine war effort in Ukraine.
	There's a contract he posted, may or may not be real, don't know.
	And now, he is a suspect in the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
	I think any reasonable person would say, we need to investigate any ties to Ukrainian government or war effort.
	Because it's not just the Ukrainian government that wants this to happen.
	They want to repel Russia.
	It's obviously Ukraine does, and I do get it, okay?
	I am no fan of Russia, their invasion.
	I think they lost the soft power battle so they went to the extreme ends, which is wrong.
	They lose.
	Okay?
	But I have to question.
	We have to pursue this.
	They will not do it.
	They will not do it.
	There's a very real question.
	Is there some kind of Ukrainian involvement?
	Look, this guy, he's a grunt.
	He is an ideological wingnut.
	He's the suspect in this case.
	Okay, I want to make sure that's clear.
	Everybody's reporting his picture, his name, and I want to make sure it's clear these are allegations and he's a suspect.
	Maybe it was somebody else who knows.
	Should this be the man, then I think it is completely reasonable to investigate Ukrainian direction, Ukrainian interest direction or involvement.
	Anybody who says otherwise is lying for political purposes.
	This man's motivations are clear.
	Now, again, maybe completely independent.
	He may be thinking he's got to go do it.
	He's going to go do all these things entirely on his own.
	However, I think it is fair to say there are questions about where he gets the resources for these weapons, where he gets the resources for body armor, how he knew where Donald Trump was going to be.
	It's been reported that this golf game was a last minute decision.
	Doesn't matter either way.
	It doesn't matter because not like I don't know that Donald Trump publishes his golf schedule well in advance, but more people might know.
	The question then becomes, If Donald Trump decided to play golf at the last minute and choosing this location in West Palm Beach, someone in the immediate tipped off this guy.
	Who and why?
	It's a scary stuff, my friends.
	It's very scary stuff.
	Now Andy Ngo has a lot more information breaking down who this guy is.
	More photos of his advocacy for Ukraine.
	Andy Ngo says, I found out Ruth was arrested in 2002 in Greensboro, N.C.
	following an armed standoff at his roofing business.
	Very strange.
	A pro-Ukraine activist accused of almost assassinating Trump at his golf course was profiled in the New York Times in March 2023 for his efforts to recruit fighters to help Ukraine.
	They say, with Legion growth stalling, Ryan Ruth, a former construction worker in Greensboro, North Carolina, is seeking recruits.
	From among Afghan soldiers who fled the Taliban, Ruth, who spent several months in Ukraine last year, said he planned to move them in some cases illegally from Pakistan and Iran to Ukraine.
	He said dozens have expressed interest.
	We can probably purchase some passports through Pakistan since it's such a corrupt country.
	It's not clear whether he has succeeded.
	And so here we are.
	Ukraine brushes off links to wannabe Trump assassin, Politico reports.
	Volodymyr Zelensky said best wishes to the Republican candidate while the International Legion dismisses any connection with Ryan Wesley Ruth.
	They say last year 58-year-old Ruth was told the New York Times, etc, etc.
	Ukraine's military wanted to make clear Monday morning had no association with him.
	American citizen Ryan Ruth has never served in the International Legion, has no relation to the unit.
	Rumors disseminated in certain media are not true.
	Now here's a question for you, and this is a real question!
	Do you trust Ukraine, or do you trust the New York Times and Semaphore?
	I am not being cute, I am not being hyperbolic, I am not being rhetorical, I'm asking you legitimately.
	When you look to who you decide to trust, that's the only direction we can go.
	Is this a fervent ideologue who privately went to Ukraine, trying to fight, and the Ukrainian government says, we don't know who this guy is, we have nothing to do with him?
	Or, are they disavowing now, after this failed assassination attempt, and New York Times and Semaphore did their due diligence, and this man is who he claimed to be?
	I can't tell you.
	The media gets things wrong all the time.
	Ukraine might be saying, like, we got nothing to do with this guy, he's a wing guy, he's a crackpot.
	Anybody can say anything they want.
	Or it could be as simple as this guy was privately acting entirely of his own volition because he wanted to stop Donald Trump because he's nuts.
	Suspect allegations, okay, not definitive.
	And it could just be that Ukraine just doesn't want to have anything to do with him.
	Maybe he did fight, but he wasn't directed to do it.
	And they're like, disavow, disavow.
	This guy's crazy.
	First of all, his plan is stupid.
	Insane, and morally reprehensible, to the most extreme degree, obviously, the action could destabilize this country.
	Now, my friends, I bring you to the next level of things, I suppose, is the current state of how the corporate press is handling this story.
	Steve Cortez tweets, posts, sorry, Len.
	Just hours after the second assassination attempt on President Trump, and CBS is using their 60-minute show to attack him as a threat to democracy over January 6.
	No matter how you hate the corporate media, it's not enough.
	This is terrifying.

		That's what Hitler himself wanted.
		Explained he's part of the Hitlerian conspiracy for Americans getting rid of their democracy.
		And this stuff doesn't change.
		It's the same playbook.
		It's a disaster.
		We need extreme measures.
		I mean, it's just that simple.
nicolle wallace ▲ ● ▼		Adam Kinzinger was tweeting about Trump's speech.
		He said he'll be gone in a year.
		But what do you do about all the people that are now conditioned to have an appetite and hunger for a strongman?
rachel maddow ▲ ● ▼		Donald Trump was mulling whether our national abortion ban was going to be 15 weeks or 16.
nicolle wallace ▲ ● ▼		He's looking for a number he likes.
rachel maddow ▲ ● ▼		16 seconds round.
		Some of the most fundamental decisions you will ever make in your life with massive relational consequences, massive consequences, intergenerational consequences for your family, huge economic consequences.
		The basic freedoms of your life should be decided by Donald Trump deciding which number he thinks looks prettier when it's embroidered on a hat.
unidentified		That is absolutely insane.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Now, I don't want to get into the whole abortion thing because we've got many more stories to go through, but to claim that Donald Trump is a Hitlerian dictator who will overthrow democracy and impose fascism because he's trying to find the amount of time is acceptable to have an abortion.
		These people have lost their minds.
		Rachel Maddow's nuts.
		And I don't have any good answers for you, my friends.
		I really don't.
		What I can tell you is, This policy, 15-16 weeks, what she's saying, that's more time than Europe.
		Trump gave it to the states and says, basically, you know, leave the federal government out of it.
		But this is the rhetoric that they push.
		There's more.
		Nick Sorter says, NBC's Lester Holt just blamed Trump for the attempt on his life.
		Let's play the clip.
		Let's play the clip.
		Is it a little hyperbolic?
		Let's play the clip.
unidentified		Today's apparent assassination attempt comes amid increasingly fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail itself.

rachel maddow ▲ ● ▼		J.D.

		This weekend there were new bomb threats in that town.
		Maggie Vespa is in Columbus, Ohio with more.
		Lester, simply put, Springfield, Ohio has been inundated by threats over the last several days, closing government buildings, schools, hospitals, today effectively closing a local university campus after administrators said someone threatened a mass shooting targeting Haitians.
		This in light of, officials say, a false online conspiracy theory alleging Haitian immigrants in that city are eating people's This is amazing.
		Listen to this beginning again of this clip.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Now, it looks like a segway, but I don't think you should be doing it.
		That's not a segway you want to do.
		The assassination attempt on Trump comes after he was spreading conspiracies and leading to violence against migrants.
unidentified		It's like, whoa, guys.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's all wrong.
		People are allowed to have opinions.
		People are allowed to investigate stories.
		The corporate press.
		This is absolutely insane.
		Now take a look at this from Semaphore.
		Looping back.
		I should have brought this one up sooner.
		Semaphore reporting that this guy, Ryan Ruth, head of the International Volunteer Center in Ukraine, a private organization, they say, I have had partners meetings with Ukraine's Ministry of Defense every week and still have not been able to get them to agree to issue one single visa.
		Chief Trumpster tweets, the shooter met with Ukraine Ministry of Defense.
		So he claims, so he claims.
		I think it's important.
		We have a bit more to add to this.
		Max Blumenthal pointing out the book once again.
		They say, stating he's neither Democrat nor Republican, Ruth clearly articulated a mindset toward Russia mirrors that of Beltway hardliners.
		The guy had a Biden-Harris sticker on his truck at his house.
		So, look, I'm going to put it this way.
		I'm not a Democrat or Republican, but I'm voting Republican.
		We get that.
		I am a supporter of Donald Trump.
		I don't think Trump is perfect.
		I consider myself independent and moderate.
		I do not like the Republican Party.
		And I think often to the detriment of, you know, trying to be an online personality, there's much more money in just being a hardline supporter left or right.
		You know, I get people saying, I'm a fence sitter and it's annoying.
		Just defend Trump, whatever.
		And I'm like, I care about what's true.
		I care about what's true, and what's true right now is that as an independent voter, as a moderate, as I've always been, independents are tracking with Republicans 2 to 1.
		Now, that being said, this guy says he's not a Democrat or Republican, but of course he's voting Democrat.
		He wants Ukraine to get funding.
		Of course he's supporting Kamala Harris.
		So he may be an independent, left or otherwise.
		But he's supporting the Democrats.
		He may not align with the Democratic Party as a fervent supporter.
		I don't know if we have... Daily Mail says how Donald Trump's casual Sunday golf session was minutes away from becoming a disaster.
		We have this map, actually.
		So, Trump was at Hole 5.
		And they say the suspect escaped the scene in a black Nissan.
		So it was around Hole 6.
		This is the Trump golf course.
		Man.
		Also, I could never golf.
		I mean, look at this.
		Geez.
		Now, mini-golf?
		I'm pretty good.
		Pretty good.
		I always win when we go mini-golfing.
		But I ain't gonna be doing any real golfing, that's for sure.
		And then, of course, Donald Trump's response.
		His statement, I would like to thank everyone for your concern and well wishes.
		It was certainly an interesting day.
		Most importantly, I want to thank the U.S.
		Secret Service, Sheriff Rick Bradshaw and his Office of Brave and Dedicated Patriots, and all of law enforcement for the incredible job done today at Trump International in keeping me, as the 45th president of the United States and the Republican nominee in the upcoming presidential election, safe.
		The job done was absolutely outstanding.
		I am very proud to be an American.

	So we're gonna have more stories coming up in just a minute.
	The next story, of course, Chris Rufo says, we have discovered, in fact, migrants are eating cats.
	He posts this video.
	Which many are saying, uh, doesn't look like cats, it looks like chickens.
	There's a lot to be argued about it, but Chris Ruffo says they have witness testimony as well as video.
	The media's responded saying this is fake news.
	But for now, what we'll do is we'll grab just some of your Super Chats, and, uh...
	Smash that like button, like I said.
	Get your superchats in now if you have any points you want to make, questions about this story.
	One like equals one, wow.
	Fight, fight, fight again.
	We're giving Trump a fight, fight, fight again.
	Right there in the poll.
	Alright.
	Let's grab your superchats.
	We've got Cilantro Industrial Complex.
	Howdy people.
	John Ruck says, how did Ryan Wesley Ruth know Trump was going to be golfing and that he was going to be on the front nine at that time?
	Anyone?
	Steve Whitkoff golfing.
	It's a great question.
	It's a terrifying question.
	Someone told him.
	That's it.
	Somebody told this guy.
	Now, now hold on, hold on.
	That is the most likely scenario in my opinion, but there is still a possibility.
	If you're driving down the road in West Palm Beach and you see Secret Service all over the place, you might say, oh, with Secret Service here, we know Trump is here.
	The question is, how did he know to go ahead?
	It could be as simple as he decided he was going to take this action.
	He'd wait.
	He knew maybe you could see Trump.
	I don't know.
	There's a lot of maybes.
	I think it's simple to say that somebody told the guy.
	The simple solution, the one that makes the least amount of assumptions, because I'll put it this way.
	You got a tree line.
	Was he peeking through the tree line?
	They didn't notice him before?
	Maybe.
	If that was the case, he could see Trump.
	Why would he go further away and wait?
	Maybe he did some recon beforehand, didn't bring anything with him, went and got his vehicle, then came, you know, got his gear, then came back.
	All possible.
	But the simple solution is, He's walking by.
	He sees somebody and says, what's with all the security?
	And they're like, Trump's golfing.
	Oh, for real?
	Did he just, he just started?
	And they're like, yeah, he just started golfing.
	It's probably going to be a little while.
	Oh, okay.
	That's the simple solution.
	Somebody told him.
	I don't know what they say, what they can say, but that, that may be it.
unidentified		All right.

		The screenshot of my replies to you on X. Holy crap.
unidentified		Wow.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Kyle says, have you seen Josh Hawley's whistleblower report?
		Let me pull this up on X.com.
		Looks like we do have a one hour ago.
		Very interesting, very interesting.
		So we'll pull this one up for now before we jump into the cat-they're-eating-the-dogs story.
		Josh Hawley says, following the latest assassination attempt on Trump, I'm releasing a comprehensive whistleblower report on the multiple failures of Secret Service and DHS, including a new allegation, new allegations and numerous unanswered questions due to USS Stonewalling.
		Very interesting.
		I haven't had time to read the full report, so we'll jump to that.
		We'll probably get more into that later tonight, but we'll grab a couple more Super Chats, and then we'll get into the news about the cats.
		Look at this, ladies and gentlemen.
		You got questions about what that is?
		Some people are saying those are chickens.
		Some people are saying they are cats.
		Maybe chickens.
		I don't know.
		I think it really is just what you want to believe.
		But I have a lot to break down in this front.
		Chris Ruffo is defending his story.
		All right.
		Charlie Goldens says, based on the little info I've seen, the would-be assassin seems to be a Ukrainian asset.
		This question must be asked, my friends.
		Did this man have connections to Ukraine?
		Formal, formal connections.
		Like, we've seen the reporting that he was part of private organizations, and he was trying to fight for them.
		Then again, I'm talking about, was he working directly with the government in some capacity?
		He's made the claim.
		He's gone to the meetings weekly and they won't accept visas.
		That doesn't mean he's officially connected.
		He could be knocking on the door and saying hello and tell him to go away.
		But I think that must be part of the investigation.
unidentified		All right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You're standing up for others with this one and I want to help keep up the good work.
		We should have a major update on our lawsuit against the Kamala Harris campaign by either today or tomorrow.
		It could be as late as Wednesday, but there will be a major, major announcement.
		The Harris campaign, for those that are not aware, posted an out-of-context clip in which the context was me saying, I'll give you the totally in-context, Tim Pool version.
		It was part of a longer conversation where I was saying, other people have called for arresting Democrats.
		And my point was, okay, fine.
		Are there some people who should be arrested?
		Yes, of course there are.
		There are people who committed crimes.
		My point is, if you want to go that route, you have to have real evidence, real warrants, real investigations, and A.G., you've got to sign off on it.
		My point was, we will not tolerate political retribution where someone just goes in and starts arresting random people.
		The Harris campaign posted the clip out of context and claimed that I had been calling for the extrajudicial executions of anyone who would not support Donald Trump if he wins.
		I don't believe there's a more egregious thing you can accuse someone of doing.
		There's a lot to break down in that, which you will see with the update, but for that reason, we have immediately moved to file a defamation suit against the Harris campaign.
		The post got 12-plus million views, not to mention the repost and all the other versions that are out there, and that is tremendously difficult to push back upon.
		You know, it's led to a lot of strife on our end, which I'll have to leave out for the time being.
		It's expensive, it's hard to do, but we have to do it.
		And I'm a bit worried, I gotta be completely honest.
		This is not, it's not cheap, it's not easy running everything that we're running, so seriously, TimCast.com, click join us, become a member, if you think we're doing a good enough job.
		If you think we do a good job at any capacity, this is not possible unless you guys become members, and we do need your support more than ever.
		With this election coming up, I gotta tell you this as well.
		I assume that following the election, one of two things is going to happen.
		This country is going to go politically insane, or people are going to completely abandon politics and just say, we are done.
		I kind of lean more towards it going politically insane, but after every election, I tell you, interest, it drops.
		It just drops.
		So we'll see what happens.
		We'll see what happens.
		But that's just a heads up.
		All right, we'll grab a couple more Super Chats.
		And let's see.
		We can, uh, grab just a couple more before we jump to this next story.
		Let's, uh, what do we have?
		Oh, man.
		Unisol says, we're essentially in purgatory as we wait for the election to take place.
		If the chaos and violence is this bad now, contemplate election day and after.
		Phil said it best, we're past the off-ramp.
		I, my friends, I have a question for you right now.
		For those that are watching live, please comment with your thoughts.
		Let's roll that conversation.
		Are we past the off-ramp?
		And if we are, what do you think happens to this country?
		Part of me wants to believe.
		You know, I've been... My friends, first, let me just say, go see Am I Racist by The Daily Wire.
		It's a masterpiece.
		I don't say that lightly.
		It's constructed perfectly.
		The pacing is perfect.
		The jokes, they hit all the jokes.
		It's comedy, it's not politics.
		And I could not be more impressed.
		I have no notes for that.
		I always like to say, here's what I think someone should have done or where you could have done better.
		Nothing.
		That film, it's the best movie I've seen in the past several years.
		It is a comedy film, Borat style, mockumentary, punching up at these elite grifters.
		I'm telling you it's comedy, I mean it.
		Matt Walsh is not preaching about why it's wrong.
		At the end it's like, here's what I learned today.
		But there's slapstick, like he's tripping and dropping things.
		It's a comedy film and it's masterfully done.
		The reason why I say that is because part of me, as I'm watching this documentary this Saturday, we went to go see it, the theater in DC was packed.
		In DC, of all places, was packed!
		Amazing.
		Not every single seat was sold, but it was to the point where there were no seats you'd want to sit in.
	I'll put it that way.
	Like, the front row was available.
	Being totally honest.
	But everything else was like...
	A lot of people were sitting next to each other.
	They'd be like, one seat here, one seat there.
	Not sold out, but effectively.
	It was the kind of sales where somebody would be like, let's go a different time.
	That's just not worth it, right?
	Certainly it's possible to do a full sellout when you have big movies.
	I look at all these people.
	I'm sitting close to the front, close to the exit.
	I see all these people laughing the entire time and I'm like, we are winning the culture war.
	And I am so jealous of the Daily Wire and what they pulled off here that part of me was like, I think we might be okay.
	The movie was so good.
	They've already bested their budget.
	They're like number three at the box office and I'm like, this is it!
	We are winning here.
	And that's how I felt good.
	I felt good.
	I felt jealous.
	I was just like, man, and maybe I'm wrong.
	Maybe we've turned this thing around.
	And then the next day, this story breaks as if it's a harsh reminder that there is a calm before the storm, that it comes and goes in waves.
	And now I wake up and I'm like, man, where's that optimism?
	I am worried.
	You know, part of me was thinking, Maybe, you know, we want to open a studio, a satellite studio in another city or closer to the metro area for people who can't travel as far, for high-profile guests who don't want to travel as far that we really want to get, we got to meet them halfway, and for our new plans with Culture War, we want to expand the Culture War's offerings.
	And I was thinking, maybe we just need to get a place closer to the city, maybe we don't need to be so far away, and then this happens.
	And now I'm like, man, I don't got any good answers for you, my friends.
	I really don't.
	This is scary stuff.
	The rhetoric is escalating to an extreme degree.
	After this attempted assassination on Trump, the left corporate press is just going harder and harder on it.
	You'd think they'd go on TV and say, people, please, please, this is not the way.
	Excuse me.
unidentified		All right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Aquatic says this man committed treason, attempting to assassinate a president, former current or frontrunner for a foreign country is treason, for a foreign adversary.
		But one could argue, one could argue indeed.
		You know, I get a lot of heat because I said, like a few months ago, that I believe Ukraine is an enemy of this country.
		It's a hyperbolic statement.
		And I said it because Germany issued an arrest warrant for Ukrainian man for bombing the Nord Stream pipeline.
		I don't care for Russia.
		Not a big fan.
		I don't want to say, like, I hate Russia or anything like that.
		It's just, the invasion was wrong.
		I genuinely mean, I've always said it, Russia should not have invaded.
		They lost the soft power battle.
		This is how things work.
		But they're desperate, angry, and they refuse to lose.
		What we are seeing right now, dragging us into this war and this conflict, I don't believe is morally justifiable, as it's pushing us to the brink of World War III over territory in Europe.
		I don't see why we have to worry about.
		I get the grand scale of things.
		But now, the question is, oh well, you know, Putin was wrong, therefore we should drive this to an extreme end.
		Ukraine is accused, a Ukrainian is accused of bombing a gas pipeline that was delivering fuel from Russia to Germany.
		The U.S.
		doesn't like that Germany is so reliant on Russia for fuel and they want to offset that.
		Germany issued an arrest warrant.
		That's why I said it.
		Now looking at where we are, I am terrified as to what this means.
		This pro-Ukrainian fighter preparing an assassination against Donald Trump.
		I think we have to ask ourselves if Ukraine actually cares about the United States or if they are using our desires to their own ends for nefarious means.
		Now, of course, the West wants Ukraine as well.
		There's other questions as to whether or not Ukraine's even autonomous as it is.
		Terrifying prospects.
		All right.
		We'll grab one more before we jump into the next story.
		And we'll grab this here.
		Pauline says, it's going to take a major catastrophe where the casualties are huge.
		That's our only chance for everyone to stop the insanity and come together.
		Even with that, I'd only give it a 15% chance of preventing our downfall.
		I disagree.
		Everyone thought COVID was going to bring people together.
		It did not.
		Everybody was still at odds.
		We're going to jump to this next story, ladies and gentlemen, the question of the cats and the questions of definitive proof from this Saturday with 26 million views.
		We have the report from Chris Ruffo.
		He says that we have discovered that migrants are in fact eating cats in Ohio.
		He says, we have verified with multiple witnesses and visual cross-references that African migrants in Dayton, the next city over from Springfield, barbecued these cats last summer.
		Now in this image, it's a TikTok from a year ago.
		You can see animals roasting on the grill.
		The response from the left and the corporate press is, they look like chickens.
		They look like some kind of animal, I guess.
		However, the legs are pulled up.
		And so we'll go through this.
		As many people are saying they look like chickens.
		I don't believe... I'm leaning slight towards cats on this one.
		Here's the video in question.
		I'll play it for you.
unidentified		Yo!
unidentified		What is this they got on the grill?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You hear the people who are filming.
unidentified		Did they kill some cats?
unidentified		I'm sorry, that was good.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		His ass better get missing.
		So that's the clip.
		We have this from Chris Ruffo, the cat eaters of Ohio.
		The establishment media called it a racist myth, but is it?
		Now, I will add, Chris Ruffo's report on this is that one instance does not prove it's happening all over the place.
		It could be an isolated incident.
		There's no evidence they're eating dogs, like Donald Trump said.
		This is just more and more evidence.
		Now, CBS News says, not true.
		Ohio police dispute new allegations immigrants are eating pets in Dayton.
		Chris Ruffo has responded, but let's start from the beginning.
		Now of course we know that Donald Trump shocked the audience of the debate by saying, they're eating the dogs!
		They're eating the cats!
		And we got, to our great luck, an awesome song out of it.
		An awesome song with Hassan Piker, the leftist, screaming!
unidentified		And then like, it's fun.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He goes on to say, the establishment media was not amused.
		During the debate, ABC's David Muir dismissed Trump's rhetoric with his version of a fact check, citing the Springfield City manager saying, there have been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured, or abused by individuals within the migrant community.
		Other publications went further, blasting the former president for spreading a racist smear.
		Century-old stereotype and a cat-eating conspiracy theory.
		So is there any truth to the charge?
		We have conducted an exclusive investigation that reveals that yes, in fact, some migrants in Ohio appear to have been eating the cats.
		Though not exactly in the manner that Trump described.
		Our investigation begins in a run-down neighborhood of Dayton, Ohio.
		The closest major city to Springfield.
		About a half-hour's drive away.
		This is important to understand.
		Springfield is a town just outside of Dayton, Ohio.
		Just outside of, you know, an hour or so.
		We identified a social media post dated August 25th, 2023, with a short video depicting what appears to be two skinned cats on top of a blue barbecue.
		Yo, the African's wild on Parkwood, reads the text, referring to Parkwood Drive.
		The video then pans down to two live cats walking across the grass in front of a run-down fence.
		The voice on the video, warning, there go a cat right there, his ass better get missing, man.
		Look at his homies on the grill.
		Here's what's important.
		Rufo says they've confirmed this post is a year old, over one year old, well before the story went viral.
		Yo, the Africans wild on Parkwood.
		We spoke with the author of the video who asked to remain anonymous, but confirmed its time, location, and authenticity.
		He told us he was picking up his son last summer when he noticed the unusual situation.
		It was some Africans that stay right next door to my kid's mother.
		This African dude next door had the damn cat on the grill.
		We then identified the home by matching it to the visuals in the video and cross-referencing them with eyewitnesses.
		When we knocked on the door of the first unit, a family answered, telling us they were from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and that all the surrounding units were occupied by other African migrants.
		One of the residents told us that her former neighbors, also from Africa, had lived in an adjacent unit last month.
		They had a blue grill, and the father would find meat in the neighborhood.
		Her dad was going to find meat, she said.
		Her dad was holding a knife.
		The current residents also showed us a blue grill of the same make and model in the video, which the former neighbors had abandoned after they moved out.
		There were at least 10 cats wandering around the complex, and another resident complained they were breeding on the property.
		According to the original witness, whose son was friendly with the neighbors, there was no doubt about what happened.
		They was barbecuing the damn cat, he said.
		His son's mother had previously witnessed the family butchering a mammal on the street.
		But the cats on the barbecue put him in such a state of shock, he felt the need to film it.
		To be clear, the single incident does not confirm every particularity of Trump's statement.
		The town is Dayton, not Springfield.
		Cats alone run the grill, not cats and dogs.
		But it does break the general narrative peddled by the establishment media and its fact-checkers, who insisted that this has never happened, that any suggestion otherwise is somehow an expression of racism.
		It takes only a single exception, however, to falsify hypotheses, and the logical next step for any honest broker is to ask if it is happening more often and elsewhere.
		It is not implausible.
		Many developing nations, including the Congo and Haiti, have traditional animal sacrifice or consumption of what Americans would consider household pets.
		And if this occurred in Dayton, where the migrant population is relatively small, it could be going on down the road in Springfield, where it is relatively much larger.
		Independent journalists are already on the hunt and could reveal more.
		The Daily Wire has dispatched a reporter to Springfield to investigate.
		The Federalist has published a police report with allegations that a group of Haitians emerged from a city trail with dead geese in hand.
		Ohio's Attorney General Dave Yost has backed up this claim, arguing that citizens with such first-hand knowledge would be competent witnesses in court.
		There's a legitimate debate to be had about migration and culture.
		All immigrants bring with them a particular tradition, which in this case, in the case of countries such as Haiti and the Congo, can include practices that many Americans find disturbing.
		This cultural divide causes understandable consternation for non-migrants living in the rougher places, or for parts of places like Dayton and Springfield.
		Now, according to CBS News, they're disputing this.
		This is from the same day at 10.41 p.m.
		It was updated.
		They say, police said there is no evidence that immigrants are eating pets, calling new allegations that emerged online on Saturday irresponsible.
		The police statement was issued hours after new video and article alleged African immigrants in Dayton were seen preparing to grill dead cats.
		The claim was shared by Senator J.D.
		Vance.
		This is insanity!
		I'm sorry.
		I'm sorry if I get a little heated.
		But we literally have Chris Rufo showing a video from a year ago where a guy says they're grilling the damn cats.
		Cat better get missing.
	Look at his homies on the grill.
	They interviewed witnesses and locals who confirmed the people weren't grilling cats.
	There's video of it.
	What more can we possibly do?
unidentified		I have no idea.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We have now dozens of videos of locals in Springfield, Ohio saying, yeah, they're cooking cats.
		A video of a woman crying, saying, it's not a joke.
		Why are you making fun of us?
		You don't know what it's like to wake up and see your dog decapitated.
		Then we get this from Chris Ruffo.
		At the very least, strong indication it's happening.
		One instance does not make a trend.
		But the preponderance of evidence is clear.
		The story is more likely true than not.
		Though I don't know how you get more definitive evidence other than filming somebody walking up with high-definition cameras live-streaming a guy who's grilling a cat at the time.
		The problem is, I guarantee you this, if right now the Daily Wire crew live-streams breaking news, guys, we're on the ground, come here, they got cats on the grill, the media will claim it's staged and they're only doing it because of Trump.
		I don't know how else, how else you're supposed to deal with this.
		Now they're claiming it's chickens.
		Look like his homie's on the grill.
		Oh, poor cat.
		Yikes, man.
		They say the new allegation has prompted backlash and skepticism with many users saying the carcasses look more like chickens.
		CBS News has reached out to veterinary experts on their opinion on what type of carcass is on the grill.
		The people who were there, who were standing there and pulled their camera.
		You got a grainy camera that I get.
		But they're looking at it with their own eyes, and they're like, that's a cat!
unidentified		And it's from a year ago!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The best evidence so far.
		No one predicted that Donald Trump, a year later, would go up on stage in the debate and say, they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats.
		So why would this guy fake it?
		Absolutely insane.
		Chris Rufo has responded, saying, CBS News has published a response to the Cat Eaters
		of Ohio story.
		It's a supremely dishonest and completely partisan report, but let's break it down
		to show exactly how the establishment media maintains its lines of propaganda.
		The CBS report hinges on two arguments.
		First, CBS writes, the video shows what appears to be animal carcasses on a grill.
		The man filming the footage alleges, without evidence, that they are cats.
		Without evidence, the eyewitness directly observed the incident and took a video recording of it, both of which are first-hand evidence.
		But CBS's apparent standard, when such evidence violates the establishment narrative, is don't believe your lying eyes.
		Without evidence.
		Witness testimony is evidence, not proof.
		Video is evidence, not proof.
		There's a difference.
		But evidence is there.
		The report also quotes Dayton's Democratic mayor, who says there have been absolutely zero reports of this type of activity, which is true, but does not contradict the evidence at all.
		Nobody filed a police report, so there would be no police report.
		And the absence of a police report does not mean that something did not happen.
		This is a convenient way of ignoring the evidence and laundering lies through friendly media apparatus.
		What did CBS not do?
		journalism. The network, which has massive resources, did not send a reporter to the
		scene, interview the eyewitnesses, interview the neighbors, investigate the
		visual evidence, conduct background research, or provide a detailed analysis.
		They simply adopted the don't believe your lying eyes as their standard and
		repeated an empty evidence-free statement from a partisan political
		figure. He says, now I'd like to take you through exactly how we produced the story
		and analyzed the evidence.
		This is precisely the case that I made in the original piece.
		That the establishment media is more interested in denial and obfuscation even when the evidence points the other way.
		Sourcing.
		An individual in my personal social network reached out with a tip and a link to the social media post with video.
		The source neither requested nor received the monetary prize I had posted on social media a few days prior.
		Our team then collected the timestamped social media from August 2023, which was still live.
		We tracked down the author, authenticated the video, matched it to his voice, and conducted an interview by phone in which he confirmed the key details of the story.
		The following day, We had the author bring us to the location and make introductions, had a team member conduct background research, and sent a reporter into the field to make observations and conduct interviews.
		To confirm the exact location of the video, we matched the visual elements in the picture to the visual elements on the scene, down to matchmaking knot patterns in fence planks, which provided us with the precise address and camera position relative to the scene.
		for extra care. We also cross-referenced the visual evidence with street and satellite images,
		plus residential property records. Our interview with the eyewitness matched the details of the
		original video and was unambiguous in its conclusion. This African dude next door had
		the damn cat on the grill. There was barbecue and the damn cat. The eyewitness was familiar
		with the African families in the housing complex. His son plugged their children,
		and his child's mother, who lived next door to the Africans, had observed them on at least one
		occasion butchering a large mammal on the street. The eyewitness had a close, unmediated look at
		the incident and maintained a consistent story over one year to multiple different groups,
		including his own peer group. He's familiar with barbecuing, and like anyone is familiar with cats.
		The source of his initial shock was that the animal on the grill was not a chicken, burger,
		hot dog, or other usual fare. Again, he witnessed the incident firsthand, recorded a video,
		and maintained a consistent story over a year. This is all direct evidence contrary to CBS
		News' disingenuous claim. I will stress this too for Chris Ruffo.
		Why would he film a video of a guy barbecuing chicken?
		You go to the Asian markets in New York and there's chickens and rabbits hanging up.
		Nobody's gonna go, whoa, they got chickens hanging up.
		But if you saw a cat, you'd be like, that's a cat!
		That's crazy to us.
		Our field reporter spoke with half a dozen people in the housing complex who confirmed the following details.
		All of the residents of the complex were migrants from Africa, most commonly the Congo.
		They were familiar with the eyewitness, his child's mother, and his son.
		They told us another African family had recently moved out of one of the units.
		His family owned and used a blue grill.
		The father would go with a knife and gather meat.
		There were stray cats breeding on the property and some residents wanted to get rid of them.
	We also made the following direct observation on the scene.
	We matched the visuals in the video to the location.
	We found an abandoned grill that matched the make, model, and color in the video and the descriptions in the interviews.
	We noticed there were at least 10 cats on the property which appeared to be strays and were very comfortable with the residents coming out of the porches and milling around the exterior of the house.
	Our research team learned that there is a tradition of cat eating in the Congo and surrounding nations.
	We also learned that since at least 2021, Dayton has accommodated a relatively large number of migrants from the Congo.
	By chance, one of our in-house researchers had experienced dissecting cats and studying their anatomy.
	In addition, we spoke on background with a chicken farmer, surgeon, biologist, hunter, and medical professor.
	After some left-wing conspiracy accounts on social media began claiming the animals were chickens rather than cats, we asked them to provide their opinion.
	I will produce some of the conclusions.
	The quotations.
	The farmer, who has processed thousands of animals per year, confirmed that it could not be a chicken.
	Quote, The most obvious evidence is that the claws on the grill are facing the wrong way for it to be an avian creature.
	Size-wise, the only poultry could credibly be compared to is a Cornish game hen or something small, but the carcasses are much larger than that.
	Literally any poultry farmer or butcher would tell you that's not a chicken or a waterfowl.
	So let's pull this back up.
	I'll pull up the image.
	See the claws curling forward towards the body.
	The chicken's feet are flat like this, and they curl back the other direction.
	As a chicken farmer myself, not really, but we got a lot of chickens.
	I agree with the assessment of this here chicken farmer.
	The legs pointed up also, to me, does not... Look.
	You guys have seen chickens at the grocery store.
	We have cooked chickens.
	We have gone to farms and picked up chickens.
	I feel like most people who have seen a fresh, plucked, ready, you know, a chicken, like, raw, or like, just, we'll call it fresh, the legs are hanging down.
	They don't curl up and bend like that.
	A bird wouldn't be able to rest upside down like that.
	Its heavy legs would cause it to flop to one side or the other.
	Or the legs would just drop down to either side.
	There's no way for a bird to naturally sit that way.
	They're bottom-heavy creatures.
	The legs are too skinny to be a chicken.
	The drumstick, even on a laying hen, would be much meatier.
	I mean, we all know what drumsticks look like.
	Look at how thin that is.
	We've all seen drumsticks.
	You know what a drumstick looks like.
	It's not long like that.
	Those look like cats.
	They're basically claiming the two legs on the left are of a chicken, and that its butt is somehow propped up in the air.
	First of all, why would it be propped up in the air?
	But more importantly, why would the drumsticks be stuck up in the air?
	For a quadruped, like a phelan, that makes sense, they are the front legs.
	But not an avian creature where it has one set of legs, a sort of folding joint in them.
	And we call those kecky bird legs that bend the other way.
	If the bird were faced up, as they are claiming, the legs would fold down into the thighs, not project straight up into the air.
	The feet of a chicken or a waterfowl are much larger in proportion to the carcass.
	This is absolutely true as well.
	I look at chickens every day.
	Well, not in the past couple of months because Chicken City is being built, so we haven't moved them over.
	But you can hear me if you watch Chicken City going out and yelling at the chickens saying, yo, what up RB3, buck buck buck, or whatever.
	They got big feet!
	What a crazy story.
	I can't believe this is the news we're doing.
	So, okay, I'm not going to read every single quote about why these are chickens.
	The CBS News report is not credible and does not make any attempt to investigate the facts.
	Rather, it simply denied the eyewitness account and first-hand video is, without evidence, a logical contradiction.
	Copy the statement from the Democratic mayor, who also did not investigate the matter.
	There's no indication that CBS sent a reporter into the field, conducted any interviews, or provided any visual analysis.
	There's no indication that CBS even knows where the incident occurred.
	This is dishonest and does a disservice to a productive debate.
	Independent says, Clearly chicken, you weirdo.
	People respond to JD Vance sharing video he claims shows migrants grilling cats.
	I gotta be honest with you guys.
	Um, it's a cat.
	See right here?
	The butt?
	And the thigh?
	That's a cat.
	That is not a chicken.
	I feel like anybody who's bought a whole raw chicken, or even looked at a rotisserie chicken... Can I pull up a picture of a rotisserie chicken?
	I'm doing it.
	Let's do it.
	This is... This is crazy.
	This is absolutely- Look, I just Google-searched- Let me get a better picture.
	Let me get a large image.
	Uh, here we are.
	Here I am, pulling up a picture of a chicken for every single human being who has literally seen one, because we eat chicken every single day.
	Take a look at this.
	This is a chicken that's been grilled.
	Look at its thighs.
	Look at its legs.
	You know what a chicken looks like!
	Now, here's, uh, what the farmers call the vent, where the chicken poops out of.
	Notice the legs aren't resting upward.
	We've all ripped a turkey thigh off.
	Look at the butt and the thigh.
	That's a cat.
	That is a cat!
	That's a cat, my friends.
	Look how thin the leg is.
	And I can't believe I'm showing you guys a rotisserie chicken to prove a point.
	Yo, there are people who are trying to claim Chris Ruffo did not have proof.
	It's absolutely wild.
	Clearly chicken you weirdo.
	Notice this.
	As the farmer pointed out, and I will point out.
	See how they have the legs sticking out like this?
	They're going the wrong way.
	As the farmer pointed out, chicken feet bend backwards, toward the back.
	And these are bending forwards.
	Also notice how they connect to the rear.
	Chicken's legs are off to the side of their bodies, and there's a rear that sticks out.
	We all have had chicken before.
	It is clearly not a chicken.
	It is not chicken.
	If we're a skinned cat, why is the skin still very much attached to the thing on the grill?
	Has anyone... Have you ever looked at... I'll pull it up for you, okay?
	Pull up a picture of a grilled cat.
	Because there's videos of this stuff.
	American prepared teriyaki cat?
	No, that's not what I'm looking at.
	There's an image from Reddit.
	Let me see if I can find it.
	That shows what it looks like when you grill a... Oh, this is catfish.
	Minus fish.
	We don't want fish.
	We want cat.
	I guess they don't want to show you those images.
	Uh, let me do this.
	Eating Cat, Haiti, Reddit.
	Because there's a video.
	Now it's going viral, people being like, not true.
	Okay, alright, I'm gonna have to do a... So basically here's what I'm doing right now.
	You know, maybe I should do this in real time for you guys so you can see what I'm doing.
	I'm gonna go to Anytime, I'm gonna go to Custom Range, I'm gonna type in, let's just do 7-1-slash-uh-20-24.
	So this means nothing after July 1st will, will appear.
	I went to Haiti and was served cat.
	Here you can see the cat on the grill.
	And it looks like it has skin or whatever.
	I'm sorry, man.
	I'm not trying to be a dick.
	I'm not trying to criticize this culture or whatever.
	The question is not whether or not we find it to be morally reprehensible.
	The fact question right now is, are they eating cats?
	Chris Rufo seems to have definitive evidence they are.
	Now, let me tell you.
	You want to argue they're chickens, the feet are going the wrong way, okay?
	The feet are going the wrong direction.
	They're curled inward.
	But I'll just tell you.
	If the guy who filmed the video a year ago said, they got cats on the grill, that is strong indicator that it's true story.
	It's wild, because we all saw this coming.
	Right?
	The possibility that the story was true was it was plausible.
	Unconfirmed, but plausible.
	We know in Haiti they eat cats.
	Not very common is my understanding, but it does happen.
	We know that people who are starving, hungry, and poor will do what they have to do.
	We have this trope of hillbillies, rednecks, eating roadkill.
	Now let me ask you this question.
	When there are jokes in media, TV, or otherwise, where the hillbilly guy is like, hey ma, dinner!
	I think Simpsons did it.
	Roadkill.
	They bring the animal in.
	And they eat it.
	I don't understand.
	I mean, eating a varmint, eating a raccoon or whatever, people do that.
	But the idea that they would eat something hit by a car is disgusting.
	And we mock that idea.
	So if there's another group of people who are impoverished or from undeveloped or underdeveloped countries, and they're eating animals, it's not out of the question.
	This needed an investigation, not derision, mockery, and lies.
	But that is what the corporate press does.
	It's what they've always done, and that's why people don't trust them.
	So here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
	I'm just gonna say, I don't believe we're gonna get better confirmation than this.
	This right here, this animal, it looks like there's more than one.
	The argument, I suppose, is that this is the front of the cat, and this is the back of the cat.
	Maybe not.
	It looks like there may be more than one.
	But you can tell right here, these appear to be front legs, curled inward going back, like cat's paws.
	Chicken feet, as you already saw, fly backwards.
	This looks like the hind thigh of a mammal of some sort, presumably a cat.
	I can't believe This is my career, ladies and gentlemen.
	This is what my life has amounted to thus far.
	Dissecting a video of whether or not someone grilled a cat on a barbecue and arguing with people that think it's a chicken.
	Sometimes I think about opening a sandwich shop and just saying, look, it's practical and everybody loves a good roast beef with cheddar.
	So here I go, just for you, ladies and gentlemen.
	I believe it's fair to say confirmed.
	I'm gonna leave it there.
	Next segment will be coming up at 4 p.m.
	on this channel, so smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends.
	Man, I gotta tell you guys, a day goes by that people are saying they can't find the show, they don't find the videos, YouTube doesn't recommend them, so I really need your help.
	If you think I'm doing a good job, we need you guys to share the videos wherever you can, in whatever way possible, because I think, honestly, that's the only reason this show still exists.
	Thank you all.
	Become a member at TimCast.com.
	I'll give you one last call to action, I suppose I could say.
	The only reason this show is possible, and TimCast IRL, and everything we're doing is possible, Casper Coffee, music and all that, is because you guys are members.
	We are working to grow and build a bigger network that exists beyond me.
	Pop Culture Crisis, if you guys aren't familiar.
	130,000 subscribers now, so we're getting there.
	We're not as big as some of the other competition, but it's important that there exists alternatives in this space.
	And so, with your support as members, we're able to do this.
	If we didn't have you guys as members, I'd tell you what we'd be doing.
	This morning show would exist.
	Absolutely.
	And nothing else.
	Without the Timcast members, what I would likely be doing is living out of a Class A camper, which is basically a tour bus, but you know, it's like the big bus, doing the morning show via Starlink, driving around, and that would be it.
	And it's for one simple reason, not because there's not more that I would want to do, but because...
	The cost of infrastructure for TimCast IRL is massive.
	And it really comes down to support staff, co-hosts, and all this stuff.
	And so the memberships allow TimCast IRL to exist as a show.
	And it's a large show.
	But it is a challenge every day when I know that we're being censored, and it makes it challenging to maintain.
	We're at this point where we have to bring on new members to support the show and make the show possible.
	But with the censorship, It makes it harder to market, so we have to spend money on marketing, and it's an uphill battle.
	It really is.
	But thanks to you guys, we're able to make all of it possible, so thank you all so much for helping us remain independent here at TimCast.com.
	Stick around.
	The next segment coming up at 4 p.m.
	Oh boy.
	Taylor Swift's endorsement backfires!
	Well, I gotta give it to Trump, I guess.
	This is why he said he hates Taylor Swift.
	Thanks all for hanging out.
	We'll see y'all at 4 p.m.
	Smash the like button, follow me on X at TimCast, and we'll see y'all then.
	And for everybody else, we'll grab a couple more Super Chats before we jump into this story.
	You guys have been chiming in with the big question, where's the off-ramp?
	John S. says, we are way past the exit ramp.
	And that's the media's fault.
	You can't call a man Hitler for nearly eight years and not have an effect on society.
	I want to tell you this, my friends.
	Every seven years, they say, every cell in your body has been replaced.
	That means, for Democrats, every cell in their body is built upon the idea that Trump is Hitler.
	For the rest of us who are discerning, and of various political backgrounds, we're like, yeah, Trump's got his faults or whatever, but come on, he's politically moderate, he's kind of brash and crass, he frustrates the moderates to no end.
	Guys, this Taylor Swift story, ah, he just posts he hates Taylor Swift, and like, I am not a conservative, okay?
	I am, I am, I am, I am, I have, I have some conservative ideas.
	I'm a moderate, you know?
	But Democrats have gone so far left, I may as well be called conservative.
	They call me conservative.
	Conservatives don't.
	And I'm sitting here being like, why, Trump?
	Why did you do this?
	He frustrates us, but we're still going to vote for him, because we're not morons.
	Dapper McStache.
	He's got the tweet.
	Let me see.
	He says, National divorce isn't possible.
	It's not bickering lovers.
	It's conjoined twins, each demanding autonomy, knowing there's only one heart and the other won't survive without it, and demanding it anyway.
	Agreed.
	And if that fight escalates, it's a terrifying reality.
	Separation of conjoined twins means the death of a twin.
	So it is worrying.
	Josh says Tim should open up in Dubuque, cool little city.
	Dubuque is my go-to middle American, you know, family town.
	When I'm trying to make a reference of your good old hardworking Americans, and people think I'm ragging on Dubuque, I'm not.
	When I say things like, you know, a guy named John from Dubuque, Iowa or whatever, I am not ragging on Dubuque.
	I am saying Dubuque, Iowa is quintessential middle American, you know, good town.
	Good hardworking regular folk who live their lives outside of the insanity that is the hyper, the beltway or Hollywood, you know what I mean?
	To me, I just say Dubuque because it's your middle American town that represents most of America.
	That's why I call it Dubuque.
	Shout out!
	I've been there before.
	It's a pretty beautiful little place.
	Let's grab some more Super Chats here.
	Jessica Zumfreis has been listening since you and the Crickler days.
	What's the latest about the ABC whistleblower?
	Isn't the Aslov battalion a neo-Nazi group?
	Any news about how this loser knew where Trump was golfing?
	We don't know that for sure.
	What I can tell you about the ABC whistleblower is story broke over the weekend of what appears to be an affidavit, alleges to be an affidavit.
	Here's why I'm not reporting on the story right now.
	There's millions upon millions of views on what is alleged to be an affidavit from an ABC employee alleging that Kamala Harris was given favorable treatment, such as she would not be fact-checked and things like that in the Trump debate.
	The individual alleges they sent themselves a letter on the 9th of September, before the debate happens, proving, stamped and sealed, that this is true and correct and can be opened later, so that evidence is When you mail yourself something, it gets postdated, and if it's sealed, then you say, look, it's got the date on it when it was sealed.
	I want to tell you guys first and foremost, people are claiming a notarized affidavit from a... No.
	It's not notarized.
	It is a document that claims it's notarized, that alleges to be an affidavit from an employee.
	We don't know who.
	We don't know who notarized it.
	It's all redacted.
	What we are looking at right now is a Word document that alleges to be a notarized whistleblower affidavit that alleges, and so this is just too many degrees of allegations, okay?
	Now, they said they're doing this because they want to get the statement straight for their lawsuit, whatever, but I think it's silly, and I think people want to believe these things.
	I also know that if I ran a story where I made a big title card with big bold letters saying, Affidavit Proves Bias, I'd get a million views.
	I have scruples.
	I can't do that.
	Other people are doing that.
	I can't do that.
	It is a document with a claimed, an alleged notarization that is not sealed.
	It doesn't need to be sealed, but it's not sealed, and the signature for the notary is redacted, and the name of the person is redacted, so none of it can be verified.
	If someone named John, let's say John Doe published an affidavit, And we then corroborated that John Doe does work at ABC News.
	It's signed by a New York notary on the 9th of September by a guy named Bill Smith.
	And then we look up, yep, Bill Smith notary, here he is.
	I'd be like, wow, we got a claim.
	We got something big here.
	But it's all redacted.
	So as far as I'm concerned, someone wrote some garbage on WordPress.
	I'm sorry, not WordPress, on Word document, and then uploaded it, signed some papers and claimed it, and then redacted everything.
	It's possible it's real, but until we have any way to corroborate that it's true, all I can tell you is an allegation alleging an allegation is not something that I'm going to do a segment on.
	But, you know, people want to roll with it.
	They want to roll with it, man.
	I don't know.
	It's just not me.
	You know, it's funny because as much as I am fairly partisan these days, I'm still not.
	I will tell you this.
	I am nonpartisan.
	And what I mean to say is, the partisans are going to come out and say, this proves it, Trump was, you know, they cheated the debate.
	The Democrats are going to say, you're liars.
	And I'm going to say, what's true?
	I'll tell you what's true right now.
	The Democrats are bad for this country.
	Donald Trump is better for this country.
	I'm going to tell you that Donald Trump has made mistakes, that he's not perfect, but he's surrounded by the best people right now.
	And that's what I hope for.
	RFK Jr., Vivek Ramaswamy, Tulsi Gabbard, you got a lot of great people that are working with Donald Trump.
	It's great news.
	I do not support Donald Trump because I'm a Republican who wants to see Republicans win and say, go Team Red.
	I am supporting Donald Trump despite despising the Republicans to an insane degree, loving that Matt Gaetz ousted Kevin McCarthy.
	I love all of it.
	I do not like the Republicans or the Democrats.
	I've never been a fan of the Republicans.
	There are some people who are Republicans I do like.
	You know, I can tell you right now that the bifurcation in this country makes it impossible to read the news and not come to a conclusion.
	Anybody who reads the news and says, I can't believe the Democrats just did this, you'd say, I don't care about red versus blue or whatever.
	I am not a diehard Democrat that supports Democrats for no reason.
	I don't support Republicans because they're Republicans.
	I'm not going to defend a story without evidence because it makes Trump look good.
	I'm going to say what's true.
	And right now, reality has a Republican bias.
	All right, we'll grab one more before we jump on to this next story.
	Jay Moore says, My son and I watch IRL together almost daily.
	His 14th birthday is in a few days.
	He's gotten into skateboarding recently and would be stoked to get one of your boards.
	Where can I order one?
	Thanks.
	We got big news, ladies and gentlemen.
	We have received a massive shipment of our original print boards, but guess what?
	Due to an error in printing, we're giving them all to you!
	I'm kidding, by the way.
	So, we updated the graphics, and we're going with another company.
	for our future pressings for our skateboards, which means that we've got, I think, around, we've got a couple thousand boards of various sizes, and our plan is right now, boonieshq.com is not yet launched.
	It's a placeholder website.
	Once our skate and culture and action sports brand launches more formally, we are going to have memberships for Boonies.
	It's a separate show, it's a separate company, so it's gonna have its own memberships.
	We're working on exactly how things are gonna roll out.
	We have a plan of how memberships work.
	So I don't want to say too much because I want to leave it to the team.
	But, what we're planning on doing is, the first hundred people who sign up will get a free board.
	A free, early print board.
	Once these prints are gone, the graphics are slightly updated with the font and everything.
	And, you know, the new logo and stuff like that.
	So that's the plan for now.
	That's how you get the boards.
	Then the website's going to have the boards all for sale, direct-to-order, and we're really excited about that.
	We're really, really close to launching the Boonies HQ website.
	Good news.
	And glad to hear that your kid's getting into skateboarding.
	Epic stuff.
unidentified		Epic stuff.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		We'll grab one more here.
		Maybe we'll grab two.
		Daniel Keller says, Fight the good fight, Tim!
		Keep grinding!
		I really do appreciate it.
		It's tough, man.
		It is really tough.
		There are, let me just say, there have been options laid before us, questions as to how we do what we do most effectively.
		There are big companies that are fighting the good fight, a variety of them, it's not just one, I don't want people to start speculating, that have shown interest in Basically, like, either buying us out, investing, or licensing.
		They want TimCast.
		They say, we can do better.
		And it's more than one, so y'all can speculate, but there's more than one.
		And there's a reality to this.
		They probably could.
		The big infrastructure of major networks very well may be better for the show in the long run in making the show bigger.
		But there's the question of, what if they tell us they don't like us covering a certain story?
		What if they say, Tim, We like that you covered that story, but that's a little strong.
		Maybe don't say that next time.
		Tone that one back.
		We think this is a better way to say it.
		What if that's what ends up happening?
		And so, with all of these various offers that have come in, we've always fought to maintain independence.
		But I will say, my friends, there's always a question of how we most effectively do the show.
		And so what we're doing now, as you can see I have the morning show, which today we had around 35,000 live viewers watching this morning show, 32,000 currently.
		I think we're doing smashingly, but we still have big challenges.
		I don't have the big marketing apparatus.
		We only recently started doing some kind of marketing and we don't have as big of a network.
		So I can only say, smash the like button, share this show every day whenever you watch, and help us be that independent if you like what I do.
		Maybe you're thinking, you know, you watch, but you're like, ah Tim, you're too stupid.
		I like the show, you get some things right, but you're wrong about all this, so I'm not gonna share ya, and so be it.
		And we don't deserve to be a bigger network than we are.
		But I fight for that independence.
		And, you know, hopefully you guys agree.
		TimCast.com, click join us.
		And then we've got Boonies, Pop Culture Crisis, man, so exciting.
		They're at 130,000 subscribers.
		They're getting there.
		And that snowball's about to roll down that hill.
		I should say the snowball is rolling down the hill.
		We got big, big updates for our PCC friends.
		All right, we'll grab one more.
		All right, Stigma of the Rose says, Vosh has said in recent live streams that Tim is a proven Russian asset.
		He's a Twitch partner, meaning Amazon supports his slander and funds him.
		Is there any way to sue both Vosh and Amazon for the defamatory claims?
		I mean, I can't say too much about it.
		What I can say is, as I mentioned before, my legal team is in contact, has been in communication with the DOJ.
		I am a victim, and for reasons as such, I can't comment right now.
		What I can tell you is, we never received any money from Russia.
		We've only ever done deals with American companies.
		And there's a lot more to say about that.
		I know a lot of people have a lot of questions.
		But due to the nature of being a victim, my hands are tied.
		I'll tell you the frustrating thing is, I'll say it again.
		Me and the rest were victims.
		This is not my opinion.
		And that being said, For obvious reasons, we have to, you know, let what happens, happens, and there will be updates later in the future.
		I will say, though, hopefully tomorrow we'll have a big update on the lawsuit against Kamala Harris's campaign.
		So, that's great.
		Let's roll, ladies and gentlemen, to the next story.
		This one's from the Post Millennial.
		I think Donald Trump saw this because he posted the other day, I hate Taylor Swift.
		I hope you enjoy this timeline.
		of poll respondents said they are somewhat or much less likely to vote for Harris.
	I think Donald Trump saw this because he posted the other day, I hate Taylor Swift.
	I hope you enjoy this timeline. I do not appreciate that Donald Trump said I hate Taylor Swift.
	I, uh, I- I actually like Taylor Swift.
	I don't follow anything to do with Taylor Swift, but she's got some songs that if I were to play I'd be like, you know, it's a good song.
	It's pop music, what do you want?
	I don't know, I don't care.
	I do not appreciate her jumping into politics.
	She doesn't know what she's talking about.
	But, you know, people are allowed to have their opinions, be it Taylor Swift or like a homeless guy sleeping in an alley in Washington, D.C.
	That being said, I'd like to thank Taylor Swift in that case, because it seems like she's actually helped Donald Trump inadvertently, because people don't like her opinions.
	Here we go.
	Taylor Swift's endorsement of Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris was a dud.
	Vice President Kamala Harris. Wow. Wait. Democratic vice presidential candidate. What are you guys
	doing? Presidential candidate was a dud. According to a YouGov poll released Saturday,
	how about the New York Post? Despite the superstar singer support for the Harris-Waltz presidential
	ticket, only 8% of those responding to the YouGov survey said the endorsement of them somewhat or
	much more likely to convince them that voting Democrat November 5th was the right choice.
	Now, I'm going to go ahead and close this.
	Many more, 20%, said they were somewhat or much less likely to vote for Harris after Swift identified as a Harris supporter.
	She should have supported Trump if that was the case.
	For most of those who responded, Swift's opinion of the presidential election didn't matter to them.
	66% said it didn't matter one way or another.
	Quote, I've done my research.
	I've made my choice, Swift told her 283 million Instagram followers.
	And also to point out, many of them, probably most, are not Americans.
	The plurality of those who responded to the poll, 32%, said they believe Swift's endorsement will help Harris, while 27% don't think it will help or hurt.
	However, 41% said the entertainer should stay away from publicly endorsing any politician, with 38% approving of Swift publicly supporting a candidate.
	Of those who responded, 66% did not describe themselves as Swifties, while 28% said they
	were fans and 6% they were big fans. Republican presidential candidate, former President Donald
	Trump has already said there will be no third debate with Harris, while CNN host Jake Tapper
	said Kamala Harris dodged debate questions, blah, blah, blah. Well, here we are, my friends.
	Trump posts, I hate Taylor Swift, days after the star's Harris endorsement.
	I don't know why he'd do that. So Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris.
	More people, it's like three to one, are like, I'm less likely to vote for Harris now.
	It actually hurt Kamala Harris.
	So Trump comes out and says, I hate Taylor Swift.
	Why?
	Because he wants the 66% who are apolitical to go, OK, now I'm going to vote for Harris because Donald Trump attacked Taylor Swift.
	Why would he do this?
	Welcome to modern politics, my friends.
	Why?
	Taylor Swift is alright.
	I like her.
	She's mostly apolitical.
	These endorsements, I think, are a bad idea for her.
	But she's not Cardi B. I'm not trying to be mean to Cardi B, but she's not doing WAP, right?
	She's not jumping up on a bed and doing degenerate things.
	What are her songs even about?
	She's got, um, uh, I-Knew-You-Were-Trouble, like, her dating a guy.
	I mean, that's hokey, teen-boppy stuff.
	It's not—it's just whatever, right?
	So, former President Trump posts, I hate Taylor Swift.
	Great.
	The post did not mention Swift's endorsement.
	Within 15 hours of her endorsement of Harris, Swift's much-anticipated announcement drove around 330,000 visits to Vote.gov, the federal voter registration site.
	Now, I wanna—I wanna tell you, this is probably a lie, because we don't know that.
	They say—so what they do is—they did this last time, too, because I remember we tracked the story.
	They look at Vote.gov's traffic and then say, we see a spike correlation between these two, but they do, like—they don't give you the analytics.
	I think last time what happened was they claimed that Taylor Swift's endorsement—or some celebrity—boosted registrations visits.
	Visits.
	How many people actually registered?
	It turned out the number was, like, remarkably low.
	And I think it was something like 11,000.
	Like, some ridiculously small number.
	And they were using the bigger number of visits to trick people.
	But then, you know, nobody asks the deeper question.
	They assume 330,000 visits to VoteGov is registrations.
	Then you find out that, like, only 30,000 people actually registered.
	And you're like, that was it?
	So this is the game they played.
	They played it last time.
	They're gonna mention that Swift broke her silence, blah blah blah, and called herself a childless cat lady.
	I'm voting for Kamala Harris, like many of you, blah.
	The next morning at Fox News, Trump said he was not surprised by the endorsement because she seems to always endorse a Democrat.
	He predicted Swift would probably pay a price for it in the marketplace, and said that he preferred Brittany Mahomes, a fitness entrepreneur who was married to the Kansas City Chief Quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
	Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelsey, also plays for the Chiefs, and the women are friends.
	Brittany Mahomes had liked to post on Instagram regarding the 2024 Republican platform.
	They're gonna mention that Swift is one of the most popular, blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda, we don't care.
	What is this?
	Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg responded with a tweet.
	Cats, dogs, geese, Laura Loomer.
	Look, now he's attacking Taylor.
	A reference to false claims by Trump and Vance that Haitian immigrants in Ohio are eating their neighbors' pets.
	Well, I gotta pause right there and say, Haitian?
	Sure, maybe, I don't know.
	But Chris Rufo, we already went over this in the previous segment.
	There's a video of cats on a grill.
	Uh, from a year ago.
	So, I don't know what to tell you.
	But anyway, I will mention this to the Laura Loomer thing.
	Donald Trump faces a second assassination attempt, and the media mocks this.
	It was Vindman's wife.
	I think it was.
	Might have been.
	Let's just say this.
	This Democrat personality says, you know, all of the ears have been reported safe.
	Carry on.
	Nothing to see here.
	Blah, blah, blah.
	Mocking that someone was trying to kill Donald Trump again.
	They come out with headline news attacking Laura Loomer because of spicy tweets.
	I mean, look, Laura Loomer has made a handful of posts that are, I would describe as, crude jokes.
	And I kind of shrug at them.
	I'm like, I don't know, whatever.
	And the media goes nuts.
	They say, why is Laura Loomer hanging out with Donald Trump?
	Well, she's a Trump supporter.
	She's a big Trump supporter.
	She does investigations.
	She's produced a bunch of stories.
	Many of them have been prominent, and Laura Loomer is probably the best at getting national attention.
	But my point is simply this.
	By all means, criticize Laura.
	I'm sure she recognizes that she gets criticized, and sometimes she should be, as I should be, and everyone recognizes that they make mistakes.
	But the media mocks the Trump assassination, says it's Trump's rhetoric, And then they get mad at Laura Loomer for making crude jokes.
	It is reprehensible.
	You want to come out and say, hey, Laura, you know, your jokes are no good.
	I go, well, that's an opinion.
	You know, I understand it.
	Then you go and mock that someone tried to kill Donald Trump.
	And I'm like, now your opinion means nothing.
	Because you're sitting here gloating over what was a violent, violent incident.
	A man's life is nearly taken, and now twice.
	And you're acting like you have the moral high ground.
	Anyway, I digress.
	I think it's funny that Taylor Swift is hurting Kamala Harris, but I don't know why Donald Trump would come out and say he hates her.
	Is he trying to rile up the rest of her supporters?
	There are a bunch of Democrats saying Trump is trying to lose.
	He's only running because he has to.
	Ah, it's not true.
	That's so silly.
	Trump didn't have to run.
	He could have endorsed Ron DeSantis.
	He could have said, Ron, get my back.
	In fact, if Trump bowed out of the race, all of his legal troubles would go away.
	Trump is trying to win.
	I just don't understand.
	Sometimes he posts these ridiculous things.
	Some people are claiming it's 4-D chess.
	He's made the move because it took the news off of polls and it made it about Trump again.
	I guess.
	He wants the media to be talking about Taylor Swift and Donald Trump.
	It keeps the conversation in the pop culture sphere and out of the political sphere.
	He wants pop culture talking about it.
	He knows the big networks would rather talk about this.
	He knows that if you make a story—I'll tell you this.
	You make a story where it's like Trump economic policy favored 2 to 1.
	You're not going to get any clicks.
	Nobody cares.
	But Trump versus Taylor Swift and boom!
	Massive.
	And that's the point.
	Trump knows it.
	Trump knows it.
	So this is what I think the game that Trump is playing.
	He doesn't want to give Kamala Harris an opportunity to talk politics.
	He wants to make sure Kamala keeps talking about garbled pop culture trash.
	Because then people who are frustrated with the economy are gonna be like, I don't care about Taylor Swift at all.
	You're gonna get people going like, are you mad that Donald Trump said he hates Taylor Swift?
	And they're gonna go, I don't care!
	Trump's talking about energy too!
	What is Kamala doing?
	Silver Bulletin has the numbers.
	As of the most recent, Trump is still favored to win, according to Nate Silver, with 59.6%.
	But Kamala Harris is steadily improving.
	Still, things are looking really good for Donald Trump.
	It's 60-40, basically, right now.
	And that is great news.
	Currently, Michigan and Wisconsin Are Trump favored, but narrowing.
	And this is what is presenting the risk.
	Trump is 2-1 to win, nearly 2-1 in Pennsylvania.
	He's got Nevada by about 10 points, 20 points, sorry.
	Arizona, 530 says Trump is winning Arizona, no question.
	Georgia, North Carolina.
	Looks like Virginia is 91% going to Harris.
	So great news for Donald Trump across the board.
	I gotta tell you, my friends, when we get into the hard issues, if you want to sit there and spin your wheels about Taylor Swift, you're gonna lose.
	Because as much as I think it's silly to enrage moderates, I don't think Trump does this for no reason.
	I don't think Trump was sitting there being like, I hate Taylor Swift and posted it.
	I think he thought about it.
	I really do.
	I'm not a fan, but I can see political strategy within it.
	Do not let the media shift the narrative to anything but you, and make it about nothing.
	I think that's actually pretty clever.
	Now, it's possible.
	Trump is a brash guy.
	He might have just been sitting there, saw Taylor Swift's endorsement, and just went, I hate Taylor Swift!
	Maybe he's hoping that teen angsty truth post might resonate with other angsty teenagers.

	The coffee shop.
	Let me tell you about the coffee shop real quick.
	This is why you should be a member.
	Buy Cast Brew Coffee at castbrew.com.
	The coffee shop that we're building has been jammed up because it's a historical building.
	And it's been a nightmare.
	Absolutely.
	But this is not the key component of what we are building.
	We are working on the infrastructure so that there will be a thousand Cast Brew locations across the country.
	There will be TVs in each location.
	And you're going to walk in and what are you going to see?
	TimCast Morning Show, live in the mornings.
	TimCast IRL, rerun in the afternoon with a live show at night.
	You're gonna see Steven Crowder.
	You're gonna see The Daily Wire.
	We're gonna play those shows on our TVs at our locations.
	With their permission, obviously.
	But the idea is this.
	You walk into these places with TVs and they're playing CNN or Fox News.
	Nah, we're taking that real estate.
	We're going to create a space for people to hang out, have a coffee, talk to each other, and regular people are going to get exposed to the alternate, independent media space.

	The next segment's coming up at 6 p.m.
	tonight.
	The New York Times warns Americans 2024 election results could take a while.
	Oh yeah.
	This one's going to get spicy.
	Thanks for hanging out and we'll see you all in that next segment.
	For the rest of you guys watching live, let me grab a couple of your super chats before we read into this final story.
	Excuse me for having a stuffy nose.
	I know it must be annoying.
	Charles Badger says the majority of Taylor Swift songs are about picking the wrong person and she picks Harris.
	That's a good one.
	That's a good one.
	All right.
	Michael says, if the electorate is anything like 2016, Kamala will win based on young female vote and Trump's unnecessary attacks on other celebrities.
	It's foolish.
	I agree.
	I'm not a fan of it.
	I can see the political strategy in doing it, but I don't know that I would like it.
	Let's see.
	Gon Zewski says, funny how the story happens when the supposed ABC whistleblower released their affidavit.
	Alleged affidavit.
	I'm being honest.
	It's an alleged affidavit.
	You can't call it an affidavit.
	It's not fair.
	An affidavit is just a sworn document.
	So you can write it on a piece of paper and then get it notarized, right?
	So it does just look like a word document someone typed up, that it was scanned.
	It's got a signature, but it's all redacted.
	So we don't know who wrote it.
	We don't know who notarized it, which means it's an alleged notarized affidavit.
	It's an alleged affidavit that has been allegedly notarized, alleging that ABC News was favoring Kamala Harris.
	Once we get the name of the guy, we'll have an affidavit.
	Once we get the name of the notary, we'll have a notarized affidavit.
	For the time being, it's an alleged affidavit, allegedly notarized, alleging impropriety.
	I'm sorry, that's just the truth.
	Let's grab one more here.
	What do we hear?
	What do we hear?
	Dak Diplati says, Tim is a Martinsburg resident and Timcast member.
	Are there benefits to upgrade to elite membership?
	Well, here's the plan.
	And this is what's really frustrating.
	The goal for the elite membership is that our Martinsburg building's got a private club, and you're gonna walk in and hang out in the private club.
	And we want to use the elite membership to, like, stock it up.
	Like, the idea of the elite membership is, you're hanging out, and there will be... It might have to be, like, drinks at cost or whatever.
	Because maintaining, uh, um...
	Insurance and air conditioning and all that stuff costs money too.
	But the idea is like, you're a member, you go hang out on the second floor of this building, but because it's a historical building, they're keeping us in limbo.
unidentified		I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't know what to say.
		Other than, I'm really close to being like, maybe we don't do West Virginia.
		Because I'll tell you what's tough.
		We come to West Virginia.
		We're really excited.
		We've built this massive building.
		This building that we're in is huge.
		It's crazy to think about.
		We built it from scratch.
		From the ground up, this building now exists.
		With a studio in it.
		With two studios, actually.
		Recording Bay.
		We've got a front office building.
		We've got a lot going on.
		And we built this all up, and we're able to do it, and it's great, and the costs are low.
		But in terms of setting up this cafe, I cannot answer for when someone said, Tim advocates for West Virginia but couldn't open a coffee shop in two years.
		And I sit back and say, you're right.
		So I keep being told, don't worry, it's gonna happen, they're gonna get us through.
		But I'm wondering if West Virginia is just too disorganized, and that's the struggle for a state like this.
		Now, as for the studio and office, we've had no problems.
		It's been very easy, and the taxes are better, and the size of the state makes it easy to work with government legislation.
		You're more likely to get in touch with somebody.
		Maryland's a nightmare and a disaster.
		I don't know which state would be better, to be honest.
		We're close to major urban metros, so I do feel like West Virginia's the best you can get.
		If we went to, like, Texas, the weather sucks, and it's super crowded and fairly progressive.
		Florida, the weather sucks.
		And some people like 100 degree weather year-round.
		Not me.
		Can you tell?
		But it's also crowded and extremely expensive.
		And I don't know that there's anything better.
		So despite the complaints and the frustrations we have, it may still just be the case.
		But there are other alternatives.
		We could theoretically open up just 40 minutes north in Pennsylvania instead.
		In terms of our locations around the country, that does take a long time, and that's on track perfectly.
		A lot of design work is going in, and I think we're really close to, perhaps within six months, we might see like ten locations around the country.
		I'm hoping.
		I'm hoping.
		The problem that we're having right now with West Virginia is the disorganization.
		That comes with it being small, I guess, and our contractors are like, we're just waiting.
		I wonder if Martinsburg is intentionally trying to make sure we can't develop in the area.
		That may be the case as well.
		Because I don't know.
		I don't know.
		I'm like, do I have to call, like, someone I know who works in government to ask them, like, why this is the case?
		We will see, though.
		But other than that, the elite membership is just, you get better direct access to TeamCast staff, and there are certain things we're trying to set up and release to elite members.
		We're trying to make it, like, Something largely beneficial.
		But the general idea was a private club you'd hang out at.
		And so you'll get your own key card to the building.
		Beep!
		And you walk in.
		We're really excited for that.
		There will be hours.
		We're thinking it'll be like 8 to midnight or something.
		I don't know.
		We've got to figure it out.
		We do have to pay staff, which is why memberships cost money.
		But we're hoping that's the case.
		We're hoping that's the case.
		I will tell you this.
		Increasing your membership to higher amounts gets you access to private rooms in the Discord server.
	There's the Elite Club private Discord room, which is very small.
	There's the, I believe, the Silver level membership.
	If you sign up at $25 a month, you get a Premium level Discord room.
	I don't know.
	They're just different.
	Ultimately, I'll tell you this.
	We do a members-only uncensored call-in show four times a week.
	Most podcasts with premium content, and they do like Patreon or some kind of membership, they do bonuses once a week or once a month.
	For you guys, we do it four times a week.
	It's a 45-minute show with a segment followed by four members who can call in, and that could be you.
	So that's, I think, becomeamemberatimcast.com.
	But for now, let's read the final story here for the day, our last segment.
	In a shocking story from the Post Millennial, actually just reporting on the New York Times, we should quote the New York Times story.
	Let me see if we have the, uh, we do have the story.
	They're claiming the election results are going to take a while.
	And it's unprecedented, what we saw in 2020, that the election results weren't called that night.
	It's insane.
	Almost every single elect, every election of my life, on election, I remember being in Times Square, I think it was 2012, And we were watching the election in Times Square, crowded.
	And they're like, the winner is!
	And we knew right away.
	Because here's how it works.
	It's decentralized.
	A precinct counts their votes.
	And they go, 751 for Obama and 229 for Mitt Romney.
	Click.
	And that number appears.
	A spreadsheet, not really, it's a program, but adds it all up very easily.
	And then you have the total number.
	And they go, that's it.
	Aside from any errors, it's rather granular and decentralized and fast.
	Now, all of a sudden, since 2020, well, you know, we're not going to count the votes right away.
	They're going to come in through the mail, and we don't know, so we won't tell you who won.
	That is an absurdity, and it is insane.
	The New York Times says, Harris or Trump, once again, election results could take a while.
	No.
	New law.
	We should have a law that says, You have election day.
	By midnight, the votes must be counted.
	Done.
	End of story.
	Bye.
	You have from 12 in the morning.
	So if you want to do mail-in votes, you got 12.01 AM.
	You got 11.59.
	The ballots should be in.
	And then, right at midnight, you got 24 hours.
	24 hours.
	Start counting.
	You can do it.
	should be in and then right at midnight you got 24 hours 24 hours start counting you can do it
	why not count them all then Count them all.
	I mean, honestly, I say no mail-in voting.
	It should be in person.
	Ballots should be blank.
	You have to know who you're voting for, but that's just me.
	More Americans are using mail-in ballots, which takes longer to count than those cast in person.
	Well, there is truth in the general sense.
	You vote in person, on a machine, or a piece of paper goes through, they can pick up the paper and say, Trump, you know, click a thing, click Trump, click Harris, Trump, Harris, Trump, Harris, whatever.
	With mail-in votes, they look at the signature, tear them open, pull the ballot out.
	That adds more work.
	But I think it's all shenanigans.
	The New York Times says the host of election night parties may want to book a room for more than just one night.
	For the second straight presidential election, it's becoming increasingly likely that there will be no clear and immediate winner on election night, and that early returns could give a false impression of who will ultimately prevail.
	Large swaths of Americans have changed their voting habits in recent years, relying increasingly on mail-in ballots, which take more time to count than those cast in person.
	States with prolonged vote-counting processes, such as Arizona, have become suddenly competitive.
	And the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump are extremely close.
	If a winner is not declared on election night, it will not necessarily point to failures in the process.
	More likely, it will be a result of the intense security measures required for counting mail-in ballots.
	Election officials across the country are trying to telegraph to voters that waiting long hours or even days for a result is not unexpected in a close election.
	They are eager to counter conspiracy theorists who may seize on the uncertainty as evidence of fraud or malfeasance.
	My friends, this is not news.
	This is not a news story.
	This is propaganda.
	This is priming.
	There is no reason the New York Times has to tell people this.
	They are priming you for what is to come.
	Here's news.
	Election official says election results may take longer than expected with a high percentage of mail-in votes being requested.
	That's news.
	This is Nick Coricciniti of the New York Times writing an opinion piece about what he thinks may happen.
	Now, I have a question.
	Does it say opinion anywhere on here?
	Oh, it doesn't.
	Nowhere does it say opinion.
	So why is he writing it?
	Just like in 2019 and 2020, 2020 they were calling it the Red Mirage.
	They said, you're gonna see Trump win, but wait!
	Because then, they're going to count mail-in votes and Biden will win.
unidentified		What?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, yeah, because mail-in votes are going to favor Democrats, so that means that even if Trump wins on election night, Biden wins.
		Seems a little odd, doesn't it?
		And for that reason, I believe it should be illegal.
		Let me tell you.
		The Democrats are going to claim, but mail-in votes make it easier and more accessible for people who can't vote.
		Don't care.
		Voting was never meant to be easy or accessible.
		Within certain reason.
		Accessible in that you should be able to get into the building and cast your vote.
unidentified		Sure.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So there's got to be, you know, a flat entrance or a wheelchair ramp.
		I'm okay with that.
		Maybe an elevator or a chairlift.
		I'm saying voting is your responsibility.
		We will accommodate you in a way that is reasonable.
		I think ballots should be blank.
		The idea that we're going to give people a list of who they can choose from is stupid because it's not an exhaustive list.
		You write down the name of the person.
		If you get it wrong, it's your fault.
		Now, the game is this.
		We're going to mail you a ballot, and then we're going to go collect them.
		But these people didn't want to vote in the first place.
		We're getting the opinions of people who don't care.
		A system cannot survive if it is run based off the opinions of people who don't care about the system.
		It is a fail-safe mechanism to make sure that only those who truly care enough to go vote, vote.
		Additionally, voting day should be a holiday.
		Everyone should get a paid day off on voting day.
		I mean it.
		You know, there's always a challenge with being an employer.
		The idea that the government's going to tell you you have to pay people for this day or whatever.
		We work by salary here anyway, so I don't know.
		I think election day should be a day off.
		Guaranteed holiday.
		Because right now, it favors the unemployed.
		So what are you going to get?
		Policy that favors the unemployed.
		The game they're playing right now, my friends, is simple.
		They are going to be able to count the votes, see if they win, and then find the votes.
		You may remember, Donald Trump had that phone call where he said to the—I think it might have been Brad Raffensperger— Whatever, just find me the votes.
		The Democrats intentionally interpret that as, make votes that show I win.
		That's stupid.
		Trump is saying, you got all these votes, they're there, I know you can do these recounts, I know you can find votes for me.
		That's what he's saying.
		I don't think it was good for Trump to say, not at all.
		He's not saying fabricate votes, he's saying find more Trump votes.
		They're out there.
		And I believe we did.
		There were like USB drives with digital, you know, from electronic machines that contained votes for Trump, and some numbers got flipped.
		Ultimately, not enough.
		Either way, I don't think Trump should be doing these, saying these things or whatever in an election, whatever.
		It's fine.
		The point is this.
		Democrats literally do it.
		So here's what happens.
		With all these mail-in votes coming in, and with signature verification being now lax, this should not be legal.
		When the votes are by midnight, whatever that number is, we are done counting.
		If you don't report your votes, too bad!
		Oh, I know.
		There's no problems there.
		Democrats are going to try and sabotage Republicans by having their vote tallies not uploaded on time or whatever.
		Maybe it's fair to say 3 a.m.
		is the cutoff, or maybe 9 a.m.
		the next morning, but the idea that we give additional days or weeks to count votes is insane, because this allows people time to commit fraud, and it serves no benefit.
		If a vote is not counted on the day of the election, it doesn't count.
		That's it.
		I'll put it this way.
		If I vote by mail, I mail it in, it arrives late or it's not counted until later, they say, well, we should be allowed to count it.
		Okay.
		Then why can't I show up three days after the election is over and fill out a ballot?
		They'll say, well, you know, mail-in ballots were turned in on time.
		It's just our fault.
		I disagree.
		If a ballot is not counted properly, then you don't count it.
		Of course, we still have the risk of fraud.
	Individuals who are supposed to be doing the counting, doing the counting wrong or intentionally putting bad numbers because they're trying to favor one candidate or the other.
	But that's why you have two or three people counting the ballots.
	If I can't walk into a voting station a day later and hand a ballot, they should not be counting mail-in ballots either.
	They should just say these are deposited late.
	Let me put it this way.
	Let's say they allow people to harvest.
	There are some states that allow a third party to take your ballot from you and go and drop it off for you.
	You sign their name and say, this is my chosen rep.
	They're going to take your ballot for you and drop it off.
	They say this so that if you have a family, one person can collect all the ballots and go drop them off.
	Okay.
	So, I am going to send my mail-in vote.
	It's done.
	It's filled out.
	It's signed.
	In the envelope.
	I then give it to the designated carrier.
	He says, I'll drop it off tomorrow after the election.
	Nope, doesn't count.
	Then why does the post office get the benefit?
	Why is it that we allow the post office to go, well, we're not going to drop it off till after the election's over.
	Nope.
	No dice.
	This is not only going to create opportunities for fraud, which the Democrats will claim doesn't happen anyway, but I don't care.
	It's like, Hey, banks shouldn't have security guards.
	No one's going to rob it anyway.
	I don't know, sometimes it happens.
	Why open the possibility for robberies?
	That's besides the point.
	Ultimately, I think we have to maintain credibility in our elections.
	And if we're telling people there's an opportunity to cheat, people are going to feel like it's not secure.
	And then what do you get?
	Chaos.
	And my friends, when we're looking at the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump, the last thing we need is uncertainty and chaos in this election.
	But they don't care.
	People are going to do whatever they have to do to win, and I think it is dangerous territory.
	So we'll leave that one there.

	Zach says, Tim, one person did predict that Trump would say they're eating the cats.
	Savannah Hernandez during her live stream on YouTube a few hours before the debate.
	Very interesting.
	Tim Brackett says, fight, fight, fight.
	It's fight, fight, fight again.
	You know, two, two times.
	All right.
	Shining Creeper, we'll grab one more, says, I was a poll worker for an election a few years ago in Indiana.
	The machines printed a receipt, a recipe?
	Or do you mean receipt?
	Printed a recipe, and we had to count those by hand.
	We counted multiple times, all of this is BS.

tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Schutt says in Germany, ballots have to be counted at 6 p.m., in person and mail.
		We use paper and pen, count by hand, and at roughly 6.30, we usually have a winner.
		That's amazing.
		That's amazing.
		Boosted Yogi says, there is no pet eating in Ba Sing Se.
		Very nice memeing, my friend.
		I'm going to wrap things up here for now, my friends.
		Share this show!
		You know, with the new morning show, things have started picking up on this channel.
		I'll give you a quick history.
		My original channel is youtube.com slash timcast and I decided to set the Culture War podcast up there because the show that I did there was usually like a long form.
		It's kind of like the first thing I do these days.
		This channel, TimCastNews, was I would grab an article and then just rant randomly for 10 minutes.
		And then when this channel, basically, I thought we had to consolidate.
		It was weird that TimCast News and TimCast produced very similar content.
		And I was like, I'll just put it all on one channel.
		But that means I've got this other channel, my original channel, which I don't do anything with.
		So we put the Culture War podcast there.
		It has seen growth.
		It does get views.
		It's nowhere near as big as it used to be because we're trying to grow the Culture War podcast.
		But we're going to start doing, I think, Culture War is going to have some man on the street interviews.
		And we're going to do... The original premise of the Culture War show is to have these debates.
		Like, I want to get Charlie Kirk, and I want to get Vosch, and I want to have them debate life, choice, whatever.
		It's very, very difficult, nigh impossible, because leftists don't debate.
		So we're changing up our strategy, and we're like, okay, well, we can do this, but maybe we need to get a studio closer to the urban centers, which we use only on certain occasions, and we need to invite six activists that are not prominent.
		And so what we may end up having is general conversations with activists, and I think there's an opportunity for TimCast members here to come on the Culture War show and be one of those debating forces for those that want to be.
		So we're working on that, and then it's much easier to get smaller leftist activists to come and do these debates.
		So it's going to be a lot of fun, and I think we've got some great opportunities ramping up.
		I'll leave it there.
