| The DOJ has dropped evidence that the Trump would-be assassin had planned this whole affair, the assassination attempt months in advance, and that he had written a letter in the event of his capture offering a bounty on Donald Trump to the tune of $150,000, which is the stupidest thing I've ever heard, because there's no way you could pay it if you got caught, by the way. | ||
| There's a big debate here. | ||
| People are mad. | ||
| They're saying, why is the DOJ dropping this letter that's going to make Trump a target? | ||
| I disagree. | ||
| Look, the people who want to hurt Trump already do. | ||
| You ain't going to get money from a guy who's been arrested for targeting Donald Trump. | ||
| The important thing to note here, why it's important these details are released, in my opinion, I think this benefits Trump. | ||
| They were only charging him with, my understanding was, gun-related charges. | ||
| Now they have definitive proof. | ||
| They have shown to the world this was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump. | ||
| It was premeditated. | ||
| He wants more. | ||
| You know, a lot of people are saying, why would they release this? | ||
| And I say to you, well, The guy's still alive, they want to put him in jail, and they want to prove that he was trying to kill Trump. | ||
| I think that it's good that Trump supporters, the American people, realize the threat Trump is under. | ||
| I do not believe this is going to change any of the circumstances around whether or not Trump is at risk. | ||
| They already got to increase Secret Service, but this is massive. | ||
| This letter is crazy, and I think there's more here than meets the eye. | ||
| Apparently he left a box with some guy. | ||
| That guy was like, oh, I just didn't open it until I saw that it was on the news. | ||
| Let's talk about that, what that means. | ||
| We got a lot of stories for you today, my friends. | ||
| Trump is now leading in the battleground states. | ||
| The Lincoln Project dropped an ad saying, why are you with Sam Elliott being like, why aren't you voting for Kamala? | ||
| Is it a woman thing? | ||
| Well, get over it. | ||
| I told you there's going to be people who are like, I ain't voting for a woman. | ||
| We're gonna talk about that. | ||
| Plus, we got Diddygate! | ||
| I guess people are calling it Diddygate? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| A bunch of celebrities have begun deleting all of their social media. | ||
| Oh, the panic is fierce! | ||
| Photos showing Diddy and the celebrities that he was hanging out with. | ||
| It's funny because there's a meme now of Yeonmi Park, the North Korean woman, and she was like, In America, it is so woke that there is white Epstein and black Epstein. | ||
| Indeed there is. | ||
| But maybe Jeffrey Epstein, maybe it's Epstein and Diddy, Epstein-Combs, maybe the play here is that Epstein was blackmailing world leaders, Diddy was blackmailing entertainers, keeping everybody in line. | ||
| Let me tell you, my friends, a lot of people are pointing out with Paramore singer Hayley Williams going on this scripted screed against Donald Trump at the iHeartRadioFest that she must be friends with Diddy or whatever. | ||
| Now, no, that's silly. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Some of them are. | ||
| They're all deleting their social media. | ||
| Well, she already deleted hers a long time ago. | ||
| But I'll say this. | ||
| I think it's actually much more simple than that. | ||
| You're a musician. | ||
| You have no idea what's going on. | ||
| You don't care what's going on. | ||
| You get booked for big gigs. | ||
| It's really hard to make it. | ||
| They choose you. | ||
| They say, do you want to be on stage at the Grammys? | ||
| Do you want to be famous? | ||
| Do you want your songs on the radio? | ||
| Well, you gotta play ball. | ||
| They don't say it like that. | ||
| But I imagine they just go to them and say, look, everybody expects you to make a statement about this. | ||
| It'll be great. | ||
| The sponsors are really happy. | ||
| Just read the statement and we'll move on. | ||
| And they go, yeah, sure, whatever. | ||
| If you don't read it, they just say, maybe we'll book somebody else. | ||
| Let's get into all this stuff, my friends. | ||
| Before we do, check it out! | ||

| But in the meantime, my friends, we will jump to the breaking news from South China Morning Post. | ||
| We love this source, don't we? | ||
| Trump assassination attempt. | ||
| Suspect left note with chilling details. | ||
| U.S. | ||
| $150,000 bounty. | ||
| Ryan Routh's note addressed Dear World was placed in a box that was dropped at the home of an unidentified person who contacted officials. | ||
| Now we got the official report dropping from Scott McFarlane of CBS News. | ||
| He says, seeking to get Ryan Routh held in pretrial jail in an alleged assassination attempt against Donald Trump in Florida last weekend, Justice Department alleges this letter by Routh was discovered last week. | ||
| Quote, this was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I failed you. | ||
| I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. | ||
| It's up to you now. | ||
| He goes on to offer $150,000. | ||
| Now, I gotta stress, this guy wrote a letter in advance, and it's only the first page, as you can see. | ||
| Where's the rest of it? | ||
| They haven't published that. | ||
| Offering money he would never be able to pay. | ||
| There's no indication of how anyone would be able to get paid from doing this. | ||
| So, what was the point? | ||
| Just to prove that this guy was trying to go after Trump? | ||
| Now here's where it gets interesting. | ||
| This guy apparently wrote this letter, put it in a box full of other items, you know, related to some kind of nefarious actions, left it at some dude's house, who ignored it, And then said, well, you know, after they said this guy got arrested, I said to open the box and then I found the letter. | ||
| Really? | ||
| I gotta be honest. | ||
| I don't know if I believe that's the case. | ||
| I wonder if this Ryan Routh guy went to this dude. | ||
| And said, hey, I'm gonna leave this box here, don't open it. | ||
| If anything happens to me, then you can take a look. | ||
| So I'm not saying this guy did anything wrong, or whoever this person was, I don't know. | ||
| But what is the possibility that Routh said, if they get me and catch me, I want you to release this information? | ||
| He wouldn't need to do that, so I don't know that this guy was involved. | ||
| He could have literally said, hey, you know, just don't open this box, I'm gonna leave it here, I'll come get it, just trust me on this one. | ||
| And the guy was like, sure, okay, I guess. | ||
| And then he was like, whatever, and left it in the basement. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| Then what's on the news, he went, holy crap, and this guy planned the whole thing months out. | ||
| Scott McFarlane says the Justice Department says the FBI located a semi-automatic rifle with scope near where Ralph was hiding near the Trump golf course. | ||
| The rifle was loaded with a total of 11 rounds and had a round in the chamber. | ||
| The serial number on the rifle was obliterated and unreadable. | ||
| Justice Department court filings includes image of a gun and a backpack containing plates capable of stopping small arms fire. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| He's got two... It looks like a backpack of some sort, but apparently He had armor hanging, strapped with duct tape. | ||
| He was prepared to take incoming fire and fire back. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| They say the backpack and shopping bag both contained plates. | ||
| Subsequent preliminary ballistics testing showed the plates were capable of stopping small arms fire. | ||
| The photograph below shows the obliterated serial number. | ||
| Now I wonder if he had ceramic plates. | ||
| You know, look. | ||
| The plates that I've used when I was covering Conflict and Crisis could withstand, I think, one single round of 7.62 or 5.56. | ||
| They said, once it got hit, it shatters, but it'll keep you alive. | ||
| They got now, the stuff that we got is Flexible Ceramic Plate Armor, which is a series of segmented plates. | ||
| There's also something that they made called Dragon Scale, where the ceramic plates that slightly overlap each other are smaller. | ||
| That way, when one is destroyed, there's still the rest that are intact. | ||
| This guy was using plates that presumably were intending for him to be able to survive at least a high-powered rifle round. | ||
| But the Secret Service agents are not walking around with rifles as far as I know. | ||
| Your run-of-the-mill agents just have their sidearms. | ||
| Likely, these plates would have stopped those rounds and shielded him as he opened fire on the President. | ||
| Now people, of course, are saying, why did they release this letter? | ||
| Why did they do it? | ||
| Well, we can absolutely talk about it, my friends. | ||
| false license plates and the FBI agents found two additional license plates. | ||
| The agents also found six cell phones. | ||
| One of the cell phones contained a Google search of how to travel from Palm Beach County | ||
| to Mexico. | ||
| Yo, this is crazy. | ||
| Now people of course are saying, why did they release this letter? | ||
| Why did they do it? | ||
| Well, we can absolutely talk about it, my friends. | ||
| Julie Kelly says, DOJ memo seeking pretrial detention of Ryan Ralph. | ||
| It appears Routh was in West Palm Beach area and near the golf courses and Mar-a-Lago several times a month before the attempted assassination. | ||
| This guy had been planning this for months. | ||
| They're going to say the FBI, this is from the filing, the FBI obtained cell site records of two cell phones found in the Nissan Xterra. | ||
| The two cell phones are serviced by different carriers that utilize different cell towers. | ||
| The FBI analysis shows the following. | ||
| Routh traveled from the Greensboro, North Carolina area to West Palm Beach Friday, August 14th, 2024. | ||
| In multiple days and times from August 18th to September 15th, Routh's cell phone accessed cell towers located near Trump International and the former president's residence at Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| The FBI examined the SKS rifle that was recovered from Trump International and found a latent fingerprint on a piece of tape attached to the rifle. | ||
| The latent print preliminary matches Ralph. | ||
| The photograph below shows the rifle. | ||
| She goes on to say, This sounds sketchy as hell. | ||
| Routh dropped off a box to a civilian witness months before the assassination attempt, and this individual didn't open it until after the near shooting. | ||
| Once again, Trump is very lucky to be alive, the filing stating. | ||
| On September 18th, law enforcement was contacted by a civilian witness who stated that Routh had dropped off a box at his residence several months prior. | ||
| After learning of the incident at Trump International, Incident? | ||
| The witness opened the box. | ||
| The witness stated the box contained ammunition, a metal pipe, miscellaneous building materials, tools, four phones, and various letters. | ||
| One handwritten letter addressed to the world stated, among other things, that it was... I'm not gonna read the quote. | ||
| But basically saying he was offering up cash for anyone who would do this to Trump. | ||
| And I will stress, ain't nobody gonna be paying that bounty. | ||
| It's not real. | ||
| The witness took a photograph of the first page of the handwritten letter, as shown below. | ||
| Kelly says, And who are the names and phone numbers pertaining to Ukraine? | ||
| Poisoned by the Biden-Democrat-Rhino media fixation on Ukraine and the notion anyone | ||
| who wants to suspend funding Zelensky is a Putin operative. | ||
| And who are the names and phone numbers pertaining to Ukraine? | ||
| Here's another part of the filing saying, a notebook with dozens of pages filled with | ||
| names and phone numbers pertaining to Ukraine, discussions about how to join combat on behalf | ||
| of Ukraine, and notes criticizing the governments of China and Russia. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bye. | |
| Chuck Colesto right here saying, the letter's insane, most likely will prove intent. | ||
| So I think that's what we have from, Julie Kelly also said, also worth noting, DOJ only posted the first page of the Ralph letter, where's the rest of it? | ||
| Indeed, indeed. | ||
| Et Amuse responds, saying, Is it not peculiar and disconcerting that the DOJ, an institution ordinarily so fastidious about withholding the written ramblings of disturbed individuals, would so casually make public this particular letter? | ||
| One cannot help but notice their customary concern for not amplifying the screeds of would-be criminals, lest they inspire further madness. | ||
| And yet, Here we are. | ||
| Here we find a glaring exception. | ||
| Almost as though they wish to broadcast far and wide the existence of a $150,000 bounty on the life of a former president. | ||
| What do we make of this inconsistency? | ||
| Was it mere oversight or something more deliberate, more insidious? | ||
| A subtle signaling to those who might be inclined to finish what this hapless author could not do. | ||
| Such actions by the DOJ demand scrutiny for the decisions, whether by design or neglect, hold grave consequences for the Republic. | ||
| Matt Walsh chiming in. | ||
| They didn't release the Covenant shooter manifesto because they were allegedly afraid it would inspire more shootings. | ||
| And yet within a week, they release a letter from Trump's would-be assassin where he openly encourages more shootings and offer to pay for them. | ||
| Well, I will push a little bit back. | ||
| I certainly understand the concern and agree with it to a certain extent. | ||
| However, My response. | ||
| Ryan Routh was caught with a weapon and they needed evidence to hold him pre-trial, deny bail, and prove it was an assassination attempt. | ||
| They want to make sure everyone knows this is what the guy was doing. | ||
| This benefits Trump. | ||
| Let me explain. | ||
| Well, I certainly agree. | ||
| They claimed the Covenant Shooters Manifesto would inspire more shootings. | ||
| It's possible this could as well. | ||
| So I think Matt hits on a good point here, as does Amuse. | ||
| But we know they are targeting Donald Trump. | ||
| This is two assassination attempts in two months. | ||
| No one can pay this bounty, so there is no real bounty on Donald Trump by any meaningful stretch of the imagination. | ||
| What the DOJ has done here is just set in stone when these liberals and leftists come out and say, the right is so dangerous. | ||
| Apparently not, because the Department of Justice just published a letter showing that crackpot anti-Trump individuals have gone so far as to plan out this thing for months in advance, and even wanted to put bounties on the man. | ||
| Look, I don't believe this letter will increase the threat to Donald Trump. | ||
| I think the threat to Donald Trump is apparent. | ||
| It is real. | ||
| And with two attempts in two months, y'all better be paying attention and Secret Service better get in gear. | ||
| I fear further attempts. | ||
| I don't think this letter changes things, but it does send a powerful message to this country and the world. | ||
| It is not the right wing that is going out and threatening anybody. | ||
| It is deranged anti-Trump individuals. | ||
| So when you see people go on Fox News or ABC Conservatives and they want to argue this or they go on Bill Maher, they should be saying, Bill, we had two attempts on Trump's life. | ||
| They keep calling Trump a threat to our existence. | ||
| And this guy even dropped a letter with a bounty on it. | ||
| We are not seeing this from conservatives or Republicans in this country. | ||
| And the DOJ confirms it. | ||
| I think this benefits Trump insofar as that it shows the threat is real from liberal left-aligned individuals. | ||
| Not all liberals, not all leftists. | ||
| This guy was a crackpot pro-Ukraine guy, but it's not right-wing Republicans that are going out and doing this. | ||
| I've had discussions with people, man. | ||
| We had Stephen Marsh on the show a couple times now. | ||
| He's written two books, The Next Civil War and The Last Election. | ||
| And every time he comes on, he tells me, though we seem things very similarly, he keeps blaming the right for it, saying it's the sovereign citizen, right-wing groups that are doing these things. | ||
| And I'm like, where? | ||
| Where? | ||
| Show me! | ||
| You had a far leftist with a communist tattoo on his neck, put two bullets in the chest of Aaron Danielson. | ||
| I believe that was in, I think it was Portland. | ||
| You had the CHAZ, CHOP, the George Floyd Autonomous Zone. | ||
| It was Atlanta at the Wendy's, the Autonomous Zone. | ||
| They have seized territory in these cities and had massive riots. | ||
| Just the other day, we got a viral video of people smashing up a cop car with a cop inside of it in Philadelphia. | ||
| It is not conservatives going out and doing this. | ||
| It is not conservatives that have just tried to assassinate a former president twice. | ||
| Stop the BS. | ||
| And someone should go and sit down with Bill Maher and say that to him. | ||
| Y'all have been screaming at the top of your lungs that you don't like Donald Trump. | ||
| What did he do? | ||
| Tell me what he did that justifies you calling him a dictator. | ||
| Well, he says he wants to be a dictator on day one. | ||
| Shut up! | ||
| It's a turn of phrase. | ||
| He was saying, I'm going to go in and I'm going to increase oil production and energy and shut the border down. | ||
| He didn't say he was going to round people up, beat them, put them in camps. | ||
| This is insanity. | ||
| So I say this. | ||
| I can agree with the sentiment and concern about why a letter like this could push more people to feel like there is some kind of, I don't know, collective energy against Trump. | ||
| It could inspire whatever that may be. | ||
| But I don't think that changes things. | ||
| I think whether this letter is published or not, these people are already intent on going after Trump. | ||
| You can see it in their eyes. | ||
| They're nuts. | ||
| That's why this guy did this. | ||
| That's why we had two assassination attempts in two months. | ||
| Heaven help us, please. | ||
| No more. | ||
| I hope Secret Service quadruples its efforts. | ||
| You know, they're talking about a funding package for the Secret Service to bring on more security. | ||
| Good. | ||
| Protect Joe. | ||
| Protect Kamala. | ||
| Protect Trump. | ||
| RFK Jr., even though he's not running anymore, we cannot, cannot function as a nation if this is what we are looking at. | ||
| So I'll tell you, my friends, I don't think that this is bad for Trump. | ||
| I don't think it's good for Trump, but I think it proves the point we need to prove. | ||
| These people are insane. | ||
| They are out to get the man, and it is not the right wing doing it. | ||
| So a lot of people keep bringing up this narrative. | ||
| I say roll with it. | ||
| First of all, you're not going to change. | ||
| They published it. | ||
| I don't know why we need to be antagonistic when you receive something in the press that proves your point. | ||
| I just sit back and I say, see, I told you so. | ||
| Now I go to my liberal friends and family members. | ||
| You see what the DOJ just released? | ||
| Trump had a bullet grazed past his head, hitting his ear, striking his ear, nearly killing him. | ||
| And this guy the whole time was planning an assassination and wrote a letter and put out a bounty. | ||
| The threat from the left is real. | ||
| It is very real. | ||
| You know, in the corporate press, they say that we were millimeters from a civil war. | ||
| The New York Times says international world leaders are concerned this country could devolve into a civil war. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| It's because of the left. | ||
| You don't see Keir Starmer and other world leaders coming out and being like, oh, these gosh dang old sovereign citizen right-wingers and white supremacists. | ||
| No! | ||
| That's not it. | ||
| Far-left riots, cities in decay, defund the police, and assassination attempts from left-aligned individuals, liberal-aligned individuals, democrat-aligned individuals. | ||
| This is what is creating international concern. | ||
| Now, we could be facing World War III, Civil War, whatever it is, my friends. | ||
| We need it all to calm the F down. | ||
| I don't know what I can do about that, I gotta be honest. | ||
| I'm just some dude on the internet reading the news. | ||
| That's the reality. | ||
| Of course, I've got a lot of followers and there's a degree of influence, I understand. | ||
| And so I beg people, we don't want civil war, we do not want national divorce, we want this country to function, but I think there are powers that be that want it all. | ||
| Why? | ||
| After World War II, you got the liberal economic order. | ||
| We'll talk about it quite a bit. | ||
| The Council on Foreign Relations brags about it. | ||
| You can go to their website and read about it. | ||
| They said, after World War II, powerful world leaders from various countries got together and decided, we cannot have another world war. | ||
| It's too devastating. | ||
| So we're going to create the liberal economic order. | ||
| Thus, you get this machine where we control, through the petrodollar, the economies of the world. | ||
| The International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the SWIFT payment system. | ||
| We control the flow of cash, and we make sure war does not start again. | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| That power is waning. | ||
| The petrodollar is faltering. | ||
| And the liberal economic order, the children who've inherited it, of these world leaders, don't know how to make it function. | ||
| But there's one thing they know. | ||
| From the ashes of the old, they can build anew. | ||
| Now, I fear not that there's a grand conspiracy for globalization or whatever. | ||
| Certainly, I believe there are powerful individuals around the world who want one world government, and you basically get it with mass corporations. | ||
| But I think in that line of thinking, there certainly are powerful individuals, not that they're colluding or conspiring, that know and hope if the U.S. | ||
| collapses and World War III breaks out, it's a perfect opportunity to exploit to create a one world government. | ||
| They made a move after World War II for the liberal economic order, global authority, but it wasn't world governance. | ||
| It was light. | ||
| These people are probably thinking, and again, I'm not saying they're colluding and aspiring to make it happen. | ||
| I'm saying you probably got some powerful wealthy guy looking at this being like, you know, if it does happen, he can move in and make moves and create stronger institutions of global power. | ||
| So I think there are powerful individuals that are excited for things like this, for the chaos, the conflict, and they're not going to do anything to prevent this country from collapsing. | ||
| Donald Trump, however, I think he represents strengthening the United States, which could be the waning of the hegemonic power of the liberal economic order and the corporate machine state, the Uniparty, the Democrats, the neocons, they can't stand it. | ||
| That's why they're losing their minds. | ||
| That's why they're saying Trump is an existential threat. | ||
| That's why That's why they keep publishing these things, despite the fact that people are literally trying to kill the former president. | ||
| It could plunge this country into chaos, but they don't care. | ||
| Trump is an existential threat to their worldview of the liberal economic order, or whatever it is they're trying to build. | ||
| I find it worrisome, my friends. | ||
| But I don't, I don't, I don't... What do we do? | ||
| A lot of people talk about national divorce. | ||
| They say that maybe we should have the red states and the blue states divide, and it would be peaceful. | ||
| You know, I wonder if many of these people who advocate for such a thing ever actually read about the first Civil War. | ||
| The Civil War, the first one, right? | ||
| The Civil War happened. | ||
| Seven states did secede. | ||
| And that's about it. | ||
| Of course, in Fort Sumter, the Union forces didn't want to leave. | ||
| I wonder what would have happened with secession had there been no conflict at Fort Sumter. | ||
| If the states just said, we're not going to abide, what would the Union have done? | ||
| Well, When Lincoln called in, when he conscripted, and sent people down to quash the rebellion, four more states joined the South. | ||
| The original secession was months before the inauguration of Lincoln. | ||
| Seven states. | ||
| That wasn't conflict. | ||
| It was an attempt at what people describe as peaceful divorce, saying, you know, we're severing ties. | ||
| It can't happen. | ||
| Regional conflict would erupt. | ||
| The federal government would try to stop any of this, of course. | ||
| You'd get the exact same thing. | ||
| If any of these states tried leaving the Union or breaking it apart, the federal government's going to say, we have nuclear weapons or a military base or an Air Force base in your state and we're not leaving. | ||
| And what's the state going to do? | ||
| Yeah, sure, that's fine. | ||
| National divorce makes no sense. | ||
| It would lead this country to ruin, China would move in, start funding some factions, Russia would assist in other factions, the BRICS nations would take over, and the U.S. | ||
| will become a gas station. | ||
| Much like Russia is. | ||
| But I can't predict these things. | ||
| I don't know what happens. | ||
| What I can tell you is we need to hope and beg that this stuff chills the F out. | ||
| I'm not so sure it can. | ||
| I've been saying this for seven years now. | ||
| That we've been on a dark path. | ||
| And it's only gotten worse. | ||
| What can you do? | ||
| Focus on your family. | ||
| Work. | ||
| Make money. | ||
| Improve yourself. | ||
| Get healthy. | ||
| That's the best thing you can do right now. | ||
| Register your neighbors to vote. | ||
| I'm sorry, but as much as I think Donald Trump is the right choice, there's no guarantee that should he win, we avert the greatest possible crisis. | ||
| With letters like this going out, Trump's going to have to be living in a plastic, a plexiglass, bulletproof plexiglass box to protect his life. | ||
| Trump could win and the left could still lose their minds and then start moving towards civil conflict. | ||
| I think the best thing we can do, certainly right now, Vote. | ||
| Register to vote. | ||
| Get your friends and family to vote. | ||
| Fire them up. | ||
| Get them ready to go. | ||
| Right? | ||
| That's what Obama was saying. | ||
| Fired up, ready to go! | ||
| Yes we can! | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| Maybe then, in, what are we looking at? | ||
| 43 days? | ||
| Is that where we're at? | ||
| Is it 43? | ||
| Man. | ||
| Maybe then, when y'all vote, oh, they'll play their games. | ||
| But Trump will win such a resounding victory. | ||
| A message will be sent. | ||
| This country is more unified than we realize. | ||
| That's what I hope. | ||
| I'll tell you what I hope and pray for. | ||
| I hope that Trump wins with 60%. | ||
| with 60%. 60%. You know why? It'll show that this country is not as divided as people think, | ||
|
unidentified
|
60%. | |
| that we are on the right side of history, and these cultists and these neocons and neolib | ||
| warmongers are wrong. | ||
| I don't believe that'll happen, though. | ||
| I say I hope that's what happens, but it's not. | ||
| I think if Trump wins, he's gonna narrowly win, because I believe this country is dangerously divided. | ||
| So again, what can you do? | ||
| Talk about this to your friends and family. | ||
| Talk about what you care about and learn about it. | ||
| Vivek Ramaswamy, I just saw this, he's got a book coming out, I think it's called Truths, where he gives the right arguments to make to their friends and family members about why Trump is better. | ||
| There's this really great video where a young guy is arguing for Kamala Harris. | ||
| He's very excited, he's quick-witted, and he's very smart. | ||
| I forgot what his name was, but it's a video going viral, and the left is like, it's got millions of views, the left is like, yeah! | ||
| But I feel like, you know, he says Kamala's got a better character and all this stuff. | ||
| You know, they needed this. | ||
| The left needed this. | ||
| They needed someone who could give a rousing, quick-witted gish-gallop on why they like Kamala Harris. | ||
| And I think it's going to be important that everybody on the right watch that and understand how to counter the messaging and explain why Kamala Harris is a bad choice. | ||
| I'll help you out. | ||
| First of all, we'll start with the simple. | ||
| She's been vice president for four years, and as the tie-breaking vote in the Senate, 33 times she sided with Democrat policy. | ||
| Look what it's gotten us. | ||
| Many people can't afford their groceries. | ||
| They say we're not in a recession, but that doesn't mean anything for the average person. | ||
| We've got a migration and border crisis, and we've got escalating war and conflict in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. | ||
| These policies have not worked out very well. | ||
| One could make the argument that they're working out as best as they possibly could, but I don't know that is acceptable to the average person. | ||
| I would argue this. | ||
| If someone said, yeah, well, Trump's a bad guy. | ||
| He's convicted of this. | ||
| He's liable for that. | ||
| My response is, look, if you're voting for president based on the demeanor or accusations of social character and things like this, there's no argument. | ||
| You've made your choice. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| Kamala Harris is accused of sleeping with Willie Brown and Montel Williams and other powerful individuals to get her positions. | ||
| And some say that's bad. | ||
| Some say she's a homewrecker or otherwise. | ||
| Others argue she's not. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| They say Trump was found liable for criminal sexual abuse in the Ingene Carroll case. | ||
| And it's like, listen, You've got to ask yourself what a president does, and if one could make the argument that Kamala Harris has bad character for, I don't know, keeping people in prison beyond their sentences to use as wildlands firefighters, which is dangerous and disturbing, or that Trump was found liable for these things, I'm not even going to argue the merits of either of these things. | ||
| I'm just going to say, you want to play that game, fine. | ||
| It's a waste of my time. | ||
| It's a waste of your time. | ||
| Certainly I can argue why New York changed the law so that someone could file a suit against Trump in which there's basically no evidence. | ||
| The story made no sense. | ||
| That's not going to convince anybody who hates Trump. | ||
| Let's talk about what a president does. | ||
| The president is our chief diplomat, the commander-in-chief. | ||
| They're responsible for foreign negotiations, diplomacy, and war. | ||
| The president does not set legislative policy. | ||
| They could advocate for it, make phone calls. | ||
| They can veto for sure, but that's Congress and the Senate. | ||
| Certainly if you're going to be voting for the House or for congressmen or the senators, | ||
| you make your choice, and I can make my arguments for policy that I think is good. | ||
| But as for Donald Trump or Kamala Harris, Kamala Harris has no foreign policy experience. | ||
| you She has limited, I should say, to be fair. | ||
| And Donald Trump has extensive foreign policy experience. | ||
| No new wars, attempts at peace agreements with some of the worst people in the world, even. | ||
| So what are you voting for a president for? | ||
| Well, the reality is you're voting for him for foreign policy. | ||
| You want to deal with cleaning up your town? | ||
| Vote State Senate and State Rep. | ||
| You want to vote for federal funding packages? | ||
| Things like that? | ||
| That's Congress and the Senate. | ||
| You want to vote for someone who can negotiate us out of war? | ||
| That's the President. | ||
| People need to stop acting like a vote for the President sets policy in this country. | ||
| Certainly, like I said, they can veto. | ||
| And ain't nobody getting a veto-proof majority these days, that's for sure. | ||
| Not on anything substantive. | ||
| But what is Kamala? | ||
| Why would I vote for Kamala Harris when we're dealing with war in Ukraine? | ||
| Is she going to handle that? | ||
| No, sorry, it's not the case. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What about Israel? | |
| Is she going to handle that? | ||
| No, she's not. | ||
| She is not. | ||
| We'll talk more about that, though. | ||
| We'll talk more about that. | ||
| I'm going to wrap up this first segment. | ||
| We got another segment coming up for you, my friends. | ||
| This one's big. | ||
| Trump is taking the lead in the battleground states. | ||
| Oh boy, I got some news for you that suggests Trump is on the path to victory, so we'll certainly talk about that. | ||
| Before we do, my friends, smash that like button. | ||
| Everybody, if everybody who is watching right now smashed that like button, we'd have 25,000 likes. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| Probably more because these videos get like 300,000 views, but we only end up with like 20,000 likes. | ||
| Come on, we could do better than that. | ||
| Get your superchats in. | ||
| I'm going to read some of your comments before we jump to the next segment about Donald Trump and the current state of the race. | ||
| Become a member at TimCast.com and check out our latest song. | ||
| You can look up TimCast Music on YouTube and see the promo for Coming Home featuring Phil Labonte. | ||
| This song is about Man, it's about coming home to find your city in ruins, and you're wondering where the people are who were supposed to watch over this while you were away. | ||
| And we're not going to stand for it anymore. | ||
| We'll jump to those superchats in a second, but we'll grab your superchats. | ||
| We'll jump to the next story in a second, but we'll grab your superchats now. | ||
| UPShould says, and now the usual, if the parties were reversed. | ||
| Heavens, heavens if the parties were reversed. | ||
| My coin says, first Boonies HQ member issues linking Discord USA. | ||
| BooniesHQ.com, our new skate and action sports brand. | ||
| It is a separate entity from Timcast Podcasts. | ||
| It's going to be a visual component, so it is separate. | ||
| We're looking for, with our podcast network and personalities and hosts, your Timcast membership should be good for all of it. | ||
| Boonies is an entirely separate thing, which requires much more infrastructure. | ||
| And it's a totally different market, too. | ||
| I don't know that it makes sense to You know, people who are gonna sign up for politics ain't gonna be signing up for skateboarding. | ||
| Some overlap, don't get me wrong, but... | ||
| So if you do, if you are interested in action sports, uh, silliness, shenanigans, and otherwise, | ||
| the point is to make it all silly and family-friendly. | ||
| BooniesHQ.com, become a member. | ||
| Separate Discord, we're gonna do a lot of fun things where... | ||
| when we have contests, the j- the members are the judges, we do polling among members, | ||
| and you guys decide who- who's the victor, who's the winner. | ||
| We've got promos, we're gonna be giving away 100, uh, early Boonie skateboards to, uh, people who sign up. | ||

Alright. | |
| Jason Dixon says, Tim, Ian was on the Discord this weekend, gaming with us. | ||
| Why haven't we seen you on the Discord other than calls? | ||
| Trump 2024. | ||
| Work. | ||
| So once the show wraps, that members-only call-in show, I'm sleeping. | ||
| And, uh, in the middle of the day, so once I wrap the morning show, I'm usually done with editing and everything by, like, one exercise, filming for Boonie Stuff, other projects, then, uh, probably some, like, paperwork, business calls. | ||
| I think I had, like, two or three business calls on Friday, even. | ||
| And then, um, I have to eat. | ||
| I have to eat food. | ||
| And so, uh, this weekend, I was, uh, doing the show. | ||
| Because we're gonna do the show again, uh, No days off. | ||
| I don't know, I kind of enjoy doing it. | ||
| So I don't know, sometimes I pop in, I send messages, but I'm just super busy. | ||
| That's the challenge, right? | ||
| Alright, let's go. | ||
| NotAllenRogers says, Tim, this Hayley Williams bender you're on is kind of wild. | ||
| Nobody else on earth is listening to or even thinking about Paramore in 2024. | ||
| In fact, that's not true, my friend. | ||
| I do not talk about things that are just, you know, insular, I suppose. | ||
| When I choose stories, I choose them based on what news sources and social personalities are showing and are going viral. | ||
| So typically when I pull up a video, it's because it's gone viral, there's a conversation around it, and I want to address it. | ||
| So as it pertains to Paramore, I think the original post where she's reading a script at iHeartRadio Festival has, like, three to four million views. And a lot of people are | ||
| wondering why so many individuals are coming out and saying these things. That being said, | ||
| what I find interesting on the Paramore bit is that while Taylor Swift says, I like Kamala | ||
| because she's for these things, these other these other celebrities are like Kamala. Kamala | ||
| is great. Paramore comes out and says, F Donald Trump, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. And so I | ||
| find it particularly interesting. | ||
| All right, let's grab a couple more before we jump to the next segment here. All right. | ||
| We'll scroll down. | ||
| I can't read every single one, but I'll try to read a bit. | ||
| Samalam C says, Tim, will you do a cover of a popular band? | ||
| Can it be Depeche Mode? | ||
| Enjoy the silence. | ||
| I think you'd do a friggin' great job. | ||
| Uh, is that, uh, just saying that? | ||
| Or living la vida loca with shims? | ||
| A video of y'all eating Taco Bell? | ||
| That could be funny. | ||
| You know what song I really want to cover is One by Three Dog Night, which in fact it's not even by Three Dog Night. | ||
| Three Dog Night covered the song. | ||
| What's the, what's the, you know, what's... Let me get the original artist. | ||
| I knew the, the, uh, the original artist a while ago. | ||
| Yeah, Three Dog Night covered. | ||
| Harry, Harry Nilsson. | ||
| That's what it was. | ||
| Duh. | ||
| Harry Nelson wrote the original one in 1968. | ||
| It was released. | ||
| Three Dog Night covered it. | ||
| Three Dog Night did an amazing cover. | ||
| It's one of my favorite songs ever. | ||
| And we've been talking about maybe doing a cover of that or some other songs. | ||
| You know, I don't know. | ||
| But I definitely think we gotta do a cover. | ||
| We have another song that's coming out right after this one. | ||
| Probably really quickly. | ||
| I don't know what we're doing for a music video. | ||
| I'm fine with making it a lyric video. | ||
| This song, I don't even know how to explain. | ||
| It's like, I don't know, dance punk synth or something? | ||
| I don't know genres, man. | ||
| We just make songs that we feel like making. | ||
| Alright, Omega says, Dragon Scale Armor was ridiculously awful. | ||
| It failed a majority of testing and the glue would fail at low temperatures. | ||
| It was a failure of a product. | ||
| Indeed, I wonder why they don't have it anymore. | ||
| Well, I have a variety of armor sets. | ||
| I've got plate carriers. | ||
| What is it, 4A or something? | ||
| I don't know, it's been a while since I've gone through this. | ||
| We've got light armor, we've got heavier armor, and we have FRAS. | ||
| Flexible Rifle Armor Systems. | ||
| It's hexagonally latticed ceramic plates. | ||
| Uh, so that I can withstand more than one round. | ||
| Those are, those are, those are pretty amazing things. | ||
| I mean, the developments in body armor have been absolutely incredible and, uh, very interesting stuff. | ||
| Alright, I'll just grab one more before we jump to the next, uh, maybe, maybe a couple more, a couple more. | ||
| Adam says, Tim, Jesus is coming back soon. | ||
| He is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one can go to the Father but through the Son. | ||
| Believe in Jesus with your eternal life. | ||
| Praying for you, brother. | ||
| I really do appreciate it. | ||
| I made a post, uh, I think it was yesterday. | ||
| Maybe it was today, I don't remember. | ||
| God is real. | ||
| It's a story of a guy who said that, and maybe I'll talk about it at the end of the show, that he woke up abruptly one day for no reason at 4 a.m., he was camping, and he just got in his car and had to drive, and he ended up finding a young woman who was severely injured and he didn't know what to do. | ||
| But in response to this, many people have been sharing similar stories, and I think I think this shows you that there is a higher power, that it influences and watches over us. | ||
| It has intention, as much as we can describe intention. | ||
| God is real. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I also kind of feel like when you get older, you start to see these stories that defy logic. | ||
| You know, in this case, of course, the answer is, oh, you know, people win the lottery, chance happens. | ||
| None of that explains how there are so many stories of people who say they heard a voice tell them to do something that defies logic. | ||
| But we'll talk about that later. | ||
| Because I think that stuff's fascinating. | ||
| Blazalot says, Paramore started showing up more in my Spotify shuffle. | ||
| Coincidence? | ||
| I don't think it is. | ||
| I think you've got a band that's on the outs. | ||
| They've been in decline. | ||
| No disrespect. | ||
| I'm a fan. | ||
| I like their music. | ||
| Even their new stuff. | ||
| It's got some fun stuff. | ||
| It's not as good. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But it's good. | ||
| And so they're in my playlist all the time. | ||
| But you look at how Paramore as a band, their songs aren't certified anymore. | ||
| They're not charting. | ||
| The last song that I think they had that actually got certified platinum was Hard Times. | ||
| I think it might have been platinum. | ||
| Might have been gold. | ||
| But now all the releases they put out are just not hitting at all. | ||
| So someone comes to you and says, we're going to put you back on top. | ||
| We're going to make you big. | ||
| But look, you got to say something about Donald Trump because We don't want people who are going to be passive in this. | ||
| And they're going to be like, yeah, absolutely. | ||
| No problem. | ||
| Please. | ||
| I want to be back on top. | ||
| That's the game, baby. | ||
| That's the game as they play it. | ||
| But let's jump to this next story. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's roll. | |
| Ladies and gentlemen, I feel like the panic is setting in. | ||
| While Donald Trump is now winning in the battleground states, the Lincoln Project is begging, begging people to vote for a woman. | ||
| Yo, this is funny. | ||
| I warned about this. | ||
| And the left, they get so mad. | ||
| They yell at me. | ||
| They say, Tim, you sexist. | ||
| Me? | ||
| I'm not a sexist. | ||
| I'd vote for a Lady Donald Trump any day. | ||
| My issue is, as I brought up, I believe there are many people, probably older Democrats especially, who will not vote for a woman. | ||
| So let me show you what they're trying to do. | ||
| We'll pull up this hilarious, ridiculous, and awful ad. | ||
| The White Dudes for Trump ad. | ||
| We played it last week. | ||
| But we got this new ad from the Lincoln Project. | ||
| Choose Change, they say. | ||
| Published this morning. | ||
| Voiced by Sam Elliott. | ||
| That cowboy guy. | ||
| What up, moron? | ||
| You know, this ad's so cringe-inducing. | ||
| But wait, my friends, where it matters. | ||
| Donald Trump's winning. | ||
| I'm gonna tell you why they're freaking out. | ||
| Trump's winning. | ||
| And my old friend, ChatGPT, gives us the data. | ||
| Take a look at this. | ||
| I said, what was the polling bias in 2016 presidential? | ||
| And it goes, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| I said, what was the average estimation, overestimation? | ||
| Chet GPT says, in 2016, three to four points nationally overestimating Hillary Clinton. | ||
| In some states, in the battlegrounds, the errors range from four to seven, like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. | ||
| Key states for Donald Trump. | ||
| I said give me the same for 2020. | ||
| Joe Biden's overestimation was 3 to 5 points nationally. | ||
| In key battleground states, the overestimation was even more pronounced, ranging from 4 to 7 in states like Wisconsin, Florida, and Ohio. | ||
| Many polls again, underestimated support for Trump. | ||
| So let's pop over and take a look at the RealClearPolitics battleground average, and let's just say, if the battleground errors in these states was 4 to 7 points, hey this makes sense, you know why? | ||
| Joe Biden was leading Trump by like eight to nine points in some of these polls. | ||
| And everyone's like, nah, they're lying. | ||
| They're lying. | ||
| Well, you know, they were wrong, but he was still beating Trump. | ||
| Take a look at where we're at now. | ||
| In Arizona, Trump's up 2.2. | ||
| Massive. | ||
| In Nevada, Harris is up by 0.2. | ||
| Wisconsin's up 1. | ||
| In Michigan, 1.7. | ||
| Pennsylvania, 0.7. | ||
| North Carolina, Trump leads by 0.4. | ||
| And Georgia, Trump leads by 0.2. | ||
| But let's play this game. | ||
| And let's keep it, my friends, as conservative an estimate as we could possibly make. | ||
| Let's entertain Trump only leading by 2 points overestimation despite the fact that in 2016 they were off by 3 to 4, in 2020 it was 3 to 5, and in battleground states both cycles it was 4 to 7. | ||
| That means we'd put it at 5.5 or so is what we should estimate the advantage Trump would actually have based on overestimation. | ||
| I ain't gonna do that. | ||
| I'm gonna say Trump's overestimation for Kamala Harris right now is only... Hey, let's play a game. | ||
| Two points. | ||
| Let's cut it in half! | ||
| Two. | ||
| Trump's up in Arizona four. | ||
| He's up in Nevada two. | ||
| He's up in Wisconsin by one. | ||
| He's up in Michigan by .3. | ||
| Pennsylvania by 1.3. | ||
| North Carolina by 2.4. | ||
| Georgia by four. | ||
| If we factor in overestimation for the Democrats, because the polls have not improved, Now, Nate Silver says Harris has got the edge right now. | ||
| 53.7 to win, Trump 46.0, based on these polls. | ||
| And I think it's fair to point out that Nate Silver does talk about analyzing these biases. | ||
| So it's fairly a toss-up, but Kamala's taken a bit of a lead. | ||
| Now, one thing that's fascinating right now is there's talks in Nebraska. | ||
| We got Nebraska right here with one district, Nebraska second, one electoral vote that could go Democrat despite Nebraska going red. | ||
| However, there is a move in Nebraska that could make Nebraska win or take all. | ||
| The Republican legislature says we're going to make the whole state win or take all. | ||
| This could lead to a tie, which would be nuts. | ||
| But let's talk about the real problem. | ||
| The real problem. | ||
| And I'll play for you the cringe-inducing ad because if I have to watch it, so do you. | ||
| But we'll talk about it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I can't believe we're having this conversation again. | |
| So here we go. | ||
| You know who the candidates are. | ||
| You know what's at stake. | ||
| One candidate promises a divided America filled with lies and hate. | ||
| And one stands for change. | ||
| Kamala Harris has more courage, more honor, more guts than this guy ever had. | ||
| So you decide. | ||
| Are we really going back down that same fucking broken road, or are we moving forward? | ||
| Towards hope. | ||
| Towards freedom. | ||
| Towards change. | ||
| We know a strong middle class has always been critical to America's success. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's promise that lies in change. | |
| And the time for change is now. | ||
| So what the hell are you waiting for? | ||
| Because if it's the woman thing, it's time to get over that. | ||
| It's time for hope. | ||
| For change. | ||
| It's time to be a man and vote for a woman. | ||
| What are you waiting for? | ||
| Because if it's the woman thing, it's time to get over that. | ||
| It's time for hope. | ||
| For change. | ||
| It's time to be a man and vote for a woman. | ||
| Oh my god! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is it? | |
| Are the internals really that bad, Lincoln Project? | ||
| Kamala Harris, they must be saying that guys are like, I ain't voting for a woman. | ||
| So they literally get Sam Elliott, cowboy guy, to be like, it's time to effin' stand up and vote for a woman to be a man. | ||
| Yeah, be a man, vote for a woman. | ||
| Oh, bro. | ||
| Look at this one. | ||
| This one we talked about last week. | ||
| This one's so good. | ||
| I'm like, I mean good as in it makes you laugh at how cringe it is. | ||

|
Hey, white dudes. | |
| So I think we're all pretty sick of hearing how much we suck. | ||
| Every time you go online, it's the same story. | ||
| We're the problem. | ||
| And yeah, some white dudes are. | ||
| I love that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump and all his MAGA buddies are out there making it worse. | |
| Wait, wait, wait, wait. | ||
| All his MAGA buddies? | ||
| Those are women! | ||
| I thought it was about white dudes sucking. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Outing nonsense in their stupid red hats and acting like they speak for us when they don't. | |
| All they've ever done is screw us over. | ||
| But if you're not on the MAGA train, where do you go? | ||
| Isn't it just swapping out one crappy option for another? | ||
| Then it hit me. | ||
| This isn't about picking teams. | ||
| It's about who's got a plan that's gonna make life better for me and my family. | ||
| So I've been doing my own research and decided to check out Kamala Harris and Tim Walls. | ||
| And before you jump down my throat, they're actually talking to guys like us. | ||
| No lectures, no BS. | ||
| Just real solutions that protect our freedoms and help us take care of the people who matter. | ||
| And honestly, I think Harris and Walls are the ones to make that happen. | ||
| End of the day, you're your own man. | ||
| It's your call. | ||
| But if anyone gives you crap about it, tell them it's none of their damn business. | ||
| You see what they do there? | ||
| It's really fascinating. | ||
| If anyone gives you crap about it, it's none of their damn business. | ||
| Well, what they're saying is, if someone tries to convince you otherwise, plug your ears and say, get out of here! | ||
| I don't want to argue about it because I saw a commercial where they said white dudes liked Kamala Harris or whatever. | ||
| I got a commercial for you guys that I want to show. | ||
| I think it's a much better commercial. | ||
| Let me see if I can pull up on my Twitter. | ||
| Because I thought it was pretty good. | ||
| And there's a bunch. | ||
| Trump's commercials are masterfully done. | ||
| And let me see if I can find this one. | ||
| It was from last week, I think. | ||
| Or was it from Friday? | ||
| Can I find it? | ||
| Oh man, wow. | ||
| I'm scrolling past my ex. | ||
| There's a video of Biden forgetting he's introducing the Prime Minister of India. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| I got an ad for you right here. | ||
| You see, while they're sitting here being like, hey, white dudes, then it hit me. | ||
| You got to vote for Kamala Harris. | ||
| Here's Trump's commercial. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We can't afford. | |
| We can't afford four more years of this. | ||
| I'm Donald Trump and I approve this message. | ||
| OK, so it's it's Tim Walz literally saying at a rally, we can't afford four more years of this. | ||
| It cuts off because I'm sure he then said something like of Donald Trump or whatever. | ||
| But then he just goes, I'm Donald Trump and I approve this message. | ||
| And woken us as this ad should be blasted everywhere. | ||
| There's legit a commercial that is being run. | ||
| I don't know if it's by Trump or for Trump or whatever. | ||
| That me and my friends have told me about. | ||
| And it's on YouTube. | ||
| You may have seen it. | ||
| Where it's Kamala Harris and she's like, the price of bread is too high. | ||
| The price of gas has gone up. | ||
| The cost of living, and then it just goes, I'm Donald Trump and I approve this message. | ||
| It's literally just showing Tim Walz and Kamala Harris talk about how what they are doing has been bad for this country. | ||
| But here's what I want to talk about right now. | ||
| We've already gone over the battleground states, Nate Silver, all this stuff. | ||
| Election 2024 swing state polls. | ||
| Trump takes three states in the latest survey. | ||
| So you've got a bunch of polls coming out showing Donald Trump is winning. | ||
| And they got these ads. | ||
| I really do think you need to factor in the ending of this ad with the Lincoln Project. | ||
|

|
The fact that they have to say that, I don't believe Kamala Harris can win this. | |
| Because if it's the woman thing, it's time to get over that. | ||
| The fact that they have to say that I don't believe Kamala Harris can win this. | ||
| I think the October surprise is going to need to be that. | ||
| Joe Biden steps down. | ||
| Twenty fifth amendment. | ||
| Kamala becomes president because she needs that. | ||
| I'm already the president advantage to try and give her a boost. | ||
| Not that I think it'll really give her much of a boost, you know? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But I'm absolutely loving where we're currently at. | ||
| And the white dude's... No BS! | ||
| His megabuddy's in their stupid red hats with no plan. | ||
| Dude, are you kidding me, man? | ||
| Look, I don't know. | ||
| Maybe you're the kind of default lib... | ||
| Guy who never talks to any of your buddies at work. | ||
| Hasn't been to a grocery store in four months. | ||
| You're gonna vote for Kamala Harris? | ||
| You know, I was bringing this up earlier, but there's this viral video. | ||
| Where you got a young guy, his name's Dean something, and he's quick-witted and he's like, let's talk about Kamala Harris' character and her policies versus Donald Trump. | ||
| And then he goes, bobbity bobbity boop boop Kamala Harris, she did this, she did that, she cares about people, yadda yadda. | ||
| And it's just like, guy, talking fast doesn't make you sound more right. | ||
| It makes you sound to a lot of people like you know what you're talking about. | ||
| But it falls apart with even the simplest of questions and points. | ||
| Now, by all means, if you want to play that game where you win a popularity contest, that's what liberals do, we can talk fast and just act like we know everything. | ||
| We can say Donald Trump was falsely convicted. | ||
| They changed the law in New York City to go after him. | ||
| There were no victims. | ||
| The banks he had worked with never lost a penny. | ||
| He said, we're not victims. | ||
| We want to work with Trump again. | ||
| They still convicted him or found him liable for civil fraud. | ||
| Sorry, not convicted, but they convicted him in this, uh, in this blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| You get the point. | ||
| It doesn't, in my opinion, actually, it's not substantive. | ||
| And based on what I know about podcasting and sales, there is something in the gish gallop where you say as many things as fast as possible so it sounds like you know what you're talking about and it confuses your opponent, makes it more difficult for them to respond. | ||
| A technique that does work. | ||
| You talk fast, you sound sure of yourself, it's convincing. | ||
| I used to do this in fundraising. | ||
| But I think the problem with that strategy when it comes to political debate is that if someone is actually listening intently, speaking slowly and more calmly, and flicking one of the lower structural columns of the argument, and it falls apart very easily. | ||
| It's a pitfall of trying to do that. | ||
| You know, gish gallop is basically you say a bunch of things at once in a debate technique. | ||
| And so I find that I find that when I'm having conversations with women, they do this a lot. | ||
| Men, less so, but men still do do it a lot. | ||
| I notice that when I'm having conversations with women and debating, they'll try and make five to ten points all at once, so that you can't answer any of them. | ||
| And so I often find myself saying, like, stop, you made a point, it needs to be rebutted. | ||
| You can't just say ten things at once. | ||
| This is what this guy is doing. | ||
| That's how they're gonna try and win this game. | ||
| They don't have any real strong arguments for Kamala Harris. | ||
| I'll tell you this. | ||
| Let's talk about Kamala's character. | ||
| She's accused of... I mean, she's not a family person. | ||
| So that is a big deal. | ||
| I'm not saying it's a bad thing to, you know, be single or whatever, marry a guy and then have stepkids, but she is not a traditional family mom or anything like that. | ||
| That's always been a big deal for politicians. | ||
| They always try to make sure that you're married. | ||
| This is a big deal for Tim Scott, who announced that he's been marrying his longtime girlfriend, and they said, are you just doing this because you want to be VP? | ||
| Media actually asked that. | ||
| So Kamala Harris has questionable morals and character. | ||
| She's accused of keeping people in prison beyond their terms to use for cheap labor, to force them to fight wildfires. | ||
| She's accused of keeping someone on death row with exculpatory evidence, which is terrifying. | ||
| She's accused of having affairs with individuals or trying to sleep her way to the top. | ||
| By all means, you can say it's all accusations. | ||
| Then they come out and they say, well, Donald Trump was found liable in a court of law. | ||
| Don't, doesn't matter. | ||
| It's not a convincing argument because they changed the law to make something like that possible, which is strange. | ||
| Not to mention it's a 30 year old accusation. | ||
| So if you want to say there's accusations against Trump and Kamala, then I'm just, I'm just saying we're wasting our time on this one. | ||
| Let's talk about policy. | ||
| What policies does Kamala have? | ||
| Honest question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go. | |
| That's right. | ||
| None. | ||
| You can talk about things she's proposed recently. | ||
| $25,000 for houses. | ||
| Well, have you asked any financial expert who works in the housing market? | ||
| They're panicking over this. | ||
| They say it's going to be damaging to the housing market, and it's going to force prices up like we saw with college tuition and student loan debt. | ||
| Not a good idea. | ||
| Banks, now seeing that people are getting guaranteed loans, are going to start treating houses the same way college is being treated, and it's going to cause problems. | ||
| It's going to cause the prices to go up. | ||
| It's not going to make it easier for the average person to buy a house. | ||
| It's going to make the average person dependent upon that grant from the government to be able to buy the house in the first place. | ||
| You can talk about abortion by all means. | ||
| You know, whatever. | ||
| But the president is not setting policy at the domestic level. | ||
| They can argue for it. | ||
| They can advocate to Congress. | ||
| But the president is dealing with foreign policy and national security issues. | ||
| Why you think Kamala Harris should be that person? | ||
| Sorry, there literally is no argument. | ||
| I'll try to make them for you, but there isn't one. | ||
| She's been the tie-breaking vote in the Senate for liberal policies that have resulted in higher costs. | ||
| Rent has gone way up. | ||
| How are they acting like in this white dudes for Kamala commercial? | ||
| It says notice of eviction right here. | ||
| Yeah, under Biden-Harris, rents have gone up. | ||
| The old apartment that I used to have in New York that was $1,900 is now $32,000. | ||
| I'm like, man, it's been like seven years. | ||
| I guess it's a long time. | ||
| $3,200? | ||
| How does anybody afford that? | ||
| Wages haven't gone up! | ||
| And it wasn't big enough for multiple people. | ||
| So here we are. | ||
| Make the argument. | ||
| Make the argument all you want, I guess. | ||
| I find it to be meaningless. | ||
| They try to act like there's something substantive behind Kamala Harris, but let's just bring it back to Sam Elliott once again. | ||
| The woman thing is huge. | ||
| And the left, they want to act like it's not the case. | ||
| When I mentioned months ago that Kamala Harris has a detriment in inherent sexism that they'll find in this country, I was called sexist for suggesting it. | ||
| Because these people know Kamala Harris has a legitimate problem. | ||
| There are women who will not vote for a woman. | ||
| There are older men who will not vote for a woman. | ||
| There are younger guys who won't do it either. | ||
| There's gonna, like, I have to wonder, man. | ||
| You know, in Kamala Harris, she skipped the Al Smith dinner, where the presidential candidates normally get together, they do a charity event, and they rib on each other. | ||
| She skipped it. | ||
| The last time it was skipped was Mondale. | ||
| You guys remember what happened with Mondale? | ||
| Let me pull up Mondale for you. | ||
| Mondale election. | ||
| Wikipedia. | ||
| I wasn't alive for this, mind you. | ||
| But let's entertain the possibility that we're going to get a Mondale-style turnout. | ||
| Look at this! | ||
| What is this? | ||
| It was a 49-state landslide for Ronald Reagan. | ||
| He carried 49 states. | ||
| That's crazy! | ||
| That's the kind of unity I'm hoping for. | ||
| He had 58.8%. | ||
| That's what I'm talking about. | ||
| I'd like to see that with Trump. | ||
| 525 electoral votes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe. | |
| Maybe. | ||
| Let's do this. | ||
| In 1980, it was Reagan, Carter, and John Anderson as an independent out of Illinois, and Reagan carried 489 electoral votes in 44 states. | ||
| It was massive. | ||
| It was bad news that John Anderson ran. | ||
| Reagan wasn't gonna be beat. | ||
| And then in 84, Reagan, man, people loved the guy! | ||
| Absolutely loved the guy. | ||
| And to be fair, Carter wasn't doing all that well. | ||
| Mind you, the economy wasn't doing all that well. | ||
| His running mate at the time was Walter Mondale, who in 84 decided to run, and he got crushed! | ||
| He did carry his home state of Minnesota, and I believe D.C., so congratulations, sir. | ||
| I don't believe we will ever see anything like this again. | ||
| This country is much, much, much too divided. | ||
| But I gotta tell you, I'd like to get close. | ||
| Now, I think Donald Trump's formed a coalition with RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Vivek Ramaswamy, many other people that I think are great. | ||
| Tulsi and RFK Jr. | ||
| are massive additions to his team that I think can attract moderates and actually give Trump a lead we don't expect. | ||
| With the polling biases right now, And that ridiculous commercial where they're like, what are you waiting for? | ||
| Is it the woman thing? | ||
| Get over it! | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| Their internals are bad, aren't they? | ||
| I think Trump's winning. | ||
| I think Trump's winning. | ||
| We're recognizing he's winning. | ||
| And I don't know that he wins. | ||
| If you think right now that you walk away from this and Trump wins in 43 days, Kamala Harris is the president. | ||
| In the national election, Kamala Harris is currently up 2.2. | ||
| But I'm going to give you some, I'm going to give you some. | ||
| Hillary Clinton was up three points. | ||
| That was her estimated bias. | ||
| Trump narrowly won. | ||
| They say, yeah, but he got a lot of electoral votes. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| He only won by like, what, 44,000 or something? | ||
| In three states, it was very narrow, and Trump barely won. | ||
| Joe Biden's lead was 7.1 nationally. | ||
| The bias, they say, was between 3% and 5% for him. | ||
| As of September 23rd, 2020, Biden was up nationally 7.1 to Hillary Clinton's 3.0. | ||
| And today, Harris is up 2.2. | ||
| If we assume a national bias of three points, Trump is winning the national popular vote by 0.8. | ||
| There's no guarantees. | ||
| There's only, are you willing to do the work? | ||
| Because I tell you this, that shadow campaign is no joke. | ||
| So what do you do? | ||
| Do you sit back and say, how are we supposed to win in the face of a shadow campaign, Tim? | ||
| It's impossible! | ||
| No, it's not. | ||
| I'm telling you right now. | ||
| Nothing, nothing substantive has changed with these polls. | ||
| Same people are running them. | ||
| 2016, 2020, today. | ||
| The bias was 3 to 4 or 3 in 2016, 3 to 5 in 2020. | ||
| Assuming it remains the same, Trump and Harris are neck and neck. | ||
| And that means you need to do the work. | ||
| Knock on doors, talk to your friends, get involved. | ||
| See what Scott Pressler's got going on because that guy's registering people to vote like crazy. | ||
| And that's the game plan. | ||
| Republicans need serious ground game in order to win this one. | ||
| Because it can't just be the presidency. | ||
| Trump has to win, and the Republicans have to take the House and the Senate, or else they will impeach Donald Trump in two seconds. | ||
| We'll see, man! | ||

| Chris Robinson says, honest question. | ||
| Last two weekends watching football on YouTube Sunday Ticket, I saw one Harris video each game. | ||
| I've had to see a Trump video. | ||
| Even my normie dad asked this weekend why there was no Trump ads, just YouTube. | ||
| Serious question. | ||
| I don't believe... I'm going to tell you guys a secret. | ||
| Let's nuke this and see what's going on next. | ||
| We're going to talk about Amiracist, the top doc in 20 years. | ||
| Shout out to Matt Walsh. | ||
| I'm going to tell you guys a secret. | ||
| As of right now, what we should be seeing in the media industry is ad rates that are blowing the pants off our numbers. | ||
| In 2020, ad rates were insane. | ||
| We didn't even have a member program. | ||
| So now, what are we seeing? | ||
| Up a little bit. | ||
| I mean, it looks okay. | ||
| I have people messaging me asking me, like, how are the ad numbers, or CPMs, are things going well? | ||
| And I'm like, yeah, it seems about normal, which is concerning. | ||
| But political campaigns are dumping tons of money into this race. | ||
| They're spending on ads. | ||
| We get these announcements, like $100 million ad spend. | ||
| But we don't see the boost in ad rates like we normally do. | ||
| It is up a little bit. | ||
| Some maybe are doing better than others, I don't know. | ||
| But I'm going to tell you this. | ||
| Here's what I think. | ||
| Ad rates go down when we're in a recession. | ||
| I wonder if they're lying. | ||
| And what we're seeing is that standard rates for small businesses and box stores are declining as they shutter and close. | ||
| Political ads are going up, keeping the numbers relatively stable. | ||
| That's what I'm hearing. | ||
| When you see like LL Flooring or whatever, they're shutting down, they're going bankrupt or you've got Home Depot missing their profit targets for the first time in a long time. | ||
| I mean, that's Home Depot. | ||
| These are not good numbers. | ||
| It could be that ad rates actually are dropping because we're in a bad economy and political ads making it up. | ||
| And so it's just kind of like, where's the bump from the political, from the election? | ||
| This should be crazy for everybody. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| election cycle. The presidential elections are huge. Then you get the the congressional | ||
| cycle, which is small and the presidential cycle. So next year, ad rates are way low. | ||
| Midterm years, they go up a little bit because you get a lot of ads from all these different, | ||
| you know, campaigns. But a presidential year combines Senate races. It combines congressional | ||
| races as well as the presidency. I don't know. Don't know for sure. All right. William Robinson | ||
| says, My wife says no female president because they will never be treated the same or respected | ||
| as much as a man amongst other world leaders. | ||
| I hear that too. | ||
| I hear that a lot. | ||
| They're lying about, but it's the honest person you got to watch out for because you never know when they might do something incredibly stupid. | ||
| And so my view on this is we know why and when government lies and what their interests are. | ||
| And so in the case of this letter, the letter looks real. | ||
| They are publishing it because it benefits their interests. | ||
| You get it? | ||
| I know what their interests are. | ||
| And so this is good for them in what they're trying to do. | ||
| And sometimes they do things that will benefit you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Typically they do things that are against you. | |
| But I have to wonder. | ||
| I have to wonder about the DOJ. | ||
| Because it is hard to say for sure. | ||
| They want a guy in prison and they want to claim he was trying to assassinate Trump. | ||
| They want to set that standard. | ||
| So they put out this message. | ||
| Ask yourself who benefits from all of this. | ||
| Certainly there's no one who can pay that bounty. | ||
| For those that are wondering, whenever there's a weird jump in the show, it's because YouTube is crashing. | ||
| We've got backups upon backups, so a lot of people will say, like, F in chat the stream went down. | ||
| Not us. | ||
| Nothing I can do about it. | ||
| That's on YouTube's end. | ||
| So we've got multiple internet backups so that it always failsafes, and we have settings to prevent skipping, but if the stream freezes on YouTube, it's because something happened on YouTube's end. | ||
| Can't really say much. | ||
| Sorry, guys. | ||
| It is what it is. | ||
| All right, we'll grab one more Super Chat. | ||

| Or was it 25 and 54? | ||
| We hit the key demo with like early 30s and late 20s being the higher end. | ||
| And we do have, you know, the next higher end, of course, is people around our age. | ||
| Boonies, we're going to be targeting for our younger generation to get them inspired in skateboarding. | ||
| But those Step on Snack and Find Out boards, those are my favorite. | ||

| Running the show over here. | ||
| We'll grab one more Super Chat before we talk about the record-breaking film, Am I Racist? | ||
| I am so excited and so optimistic. | ||
| With all the news we're seeing, man, this one should light a fire under you. | ||
| The work being done in this space, we are winning. | ||
| But let me grab another Super Chat. | ||
| Gunface says, Tim, Bidenomics is working. | ||
| It is designed to cripple everyday Americans and make them dependent on their new god called government. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| All right, here we go, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| I'd like to start off by giving Matt Walsh a round of applause. | ||
| How Am I Racist scored the top political doc opening in 20 years by duping DEI gurus. | ||
| Conservative provocateur Matt Walsh's film came out of nowhere to gross $4.5 million in its nationwide box office debut over the September 13th to 15th weekend, a huge sum for a non-fiction feature. | ||
| Bravo. | ||
| If you have not seen it, you need to see it. | ||
| They've already, I think their current gross box office is $9,000,000 on a $3,000,000 budget. | ||
| This movie is masterfully done. | ||
| It mocks and destroys the DEI race grifters, and it does it without being overtly political. | ||
| So my friends, let me tell you. | ||
| We had a set with Matt Walsh last week. | ||
| It was amazing. | ||
| I've made documentaries. | ||
| I've made many. | ||
| And, uh, even TimCast.com has a couple that are available on the website for members. | ||
| Lauren Southern and, um, we got one on, uh, called Game of Money. | ||
| And, uh, you know, when I was watching this film, I could see what it took to make it. | ||
| And I could see the things it had to have done, and it was, it was a feat. | ||
| Not only were they making an excellent piece of activism, not overtly, however, it was political, but it wasn't overtly political. | ||
| It's just a comedy. | ||
| They were navigating a maze as they produced it because they did not know what they were going to get out of these interviews. | ||
| And after they do, they have to go back and be like, OK, does this fit the overall story? | ||
| So they had a general idea of what they want to do, of course. | ||
| But you go and do an interview with one of these grifters, and what's going to happen when they give you a curveball like they actually pay reparations to a black producer on the spot? | ||
| Shout out to The Daily Wire and Matt Walsh for this one. | ||
| We also have, this is really funny, fans photobomb ESPN's College Game Day with cutouts of Matt Walsh character in anti-DEI film Am I Racist? | ||
| What is this? | ||
| I have to wonder if, um, I have to wonder if this was a publicity stunt by the Daily Wire team. | ||
| I can't. | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| Do you think that these people were just like, let's go print out a massive Matt Walsh face and just bounce it up and down? | ||
| Well, they did, and I gotta tell you, the Daily Wire has hit a grand slam with this one. | ||
| I don't know that this is a publicity stunt that they planned, but they hit a grand slam with this. | ||
| As of right now, the tomato meat is at 73%, but take a look at the reviews. | ||
| Most of the reviews are good. | ||
| There are these three bad ones where two of them aren't even good reviews. | ||
| It didn't make me laugh very much. | ||
| Half-formed at best. | ||
| Spare me. | ||
| Jesse Gender. | ||
| Now here's where you know it's rigged. | ||
| Jesse Gender YouTube channel did a review of the film. | ||
| So did I. My review got half a million views. | ||
| I talked about it being a masterpiece. | ||
| I got over a million subscribers. | ||
| How come there ain't no Tim Poole listed in this reviews of the film? | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Didn't think so. | ||
| Because the game is rigged. | ||
| They're going to put people in there because they want it not to be as big as it really is, but look at this. | ||
| 73%, 98% popcorn meter. | ||
| Hollywood Reporter finally dives in. | ||
| They say, decolonize yourself. | ||
| Do your own white supremacy dismantling and then you can start to bring in other people, declares Regina Jackson at the Race to Dinner in Atlanta. | ||
| Part of an ongoing series she co-founded with Saira Rao designed to help white women confront their own racism. | ||
| In fact, what these dinners actually are, are if you're a white woman, you can pay minority women to insult you. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| That's why Matt offers in his film self-flagellation. | ||
| As a joke, nobody actually harms themselves. | ||
| Before anyone can respond, the waiter proposes a toast. | ||
| Raise a glass if you're racist. | ||
| They all oblige. | ||
| Although Jackson, who is black, quickly puts her glass down and laughs. | ||
| Oh, I'm not racist, she says. | ||
| They don't even know what their grift is. | ||
| The seemingly klutzy caterer has been interrupting the group all night, dropping dishes and even pulling up a seat to explain that he's got his DEI certificate. | ||
| Many of the guests appear confused and perplexed by his odd behavior. | ||
| I'm just on the journey, he says. | ||
| He is on a journey. | ||
| Just not the one he professed to be on. | ||
| He's actually the conservative provocateur Matt Walsh. | ||
| Yeah, we saw the movie. | ||
| We get that. | ||
| Barring from a page from Sacha Baron Cohen's Da Ali G Show in Borat, the producers set up elaborate and surreptitious ruses telling their subjects they were making a doc exploring anti-racism in America in the post-George Floyd era. | ||
| And they're willing to pay handsomely. | ||
| The raise-to-dinner event, $5,000. | ||
| The mother of two small black girls snubbed by a Sesame Street character at a theme park, $50,000 to participate in the doc. | ||
| It isn't uncommon for experts on other subjects to be paid in such instances, but the boundaries have loosened in the era of streaming and the endless demand for nonfiction content. | ||
| Their tactics have worked to create a surprise hit. | ||
| Over the September 13th-15th weekend, Am I Racist? | ||
| Fueled by conservative media goers in cities like Nashville, Denver, Phoenix, Dallas, and Meridian, a suburb of Boise, Idaho, seemingly came out of nowhere to gross $4.5 million from 1,500 screens. | ||
| The top opening for a political documentary since Fahrenheit 9-11 two decades ago in 2004. | ||
| The movie shot up the chart to number four and did almost double the business of Dave Bautista's action thriller, The Killer's Game. | ||
| The picture has clearly hit a nerve, says one major Hollywood studio exec. | ||
| Kudos to them for marketing to the correct audience. | ||
| One detractor ever notes that many conservative-leaning movies have done more business of late, including the Ronald Reagan biopic, Reagan. | ||
| The Dennis Quaid starrer opened to 7.6 million. | ||
| Amiracist is showing no signs of slowing down and spotted a cumulative north of 6.5 million by Thursday. | ||
| It is coming at number 3 or number 4 every day this week and is adding dozens of theaters daily. | ||
| As of Friday, it is playing in 1,600 theaters. | ||
| It's doing best in the South, Midwest, and Central Mountain states. | ||
| It's jaw-dropping status doesn't end there. | ||
| It scored the fourth biggest opening in a decade for a doc excluding concert picks. | ||
| Number one is the faith-based film After Death, which debuted to 5 million in 2023. | ||
| Awesome film. | ||
| Angel Studios, by the way. | ||
| That stuff really gets at you. | ||
| Even if you're not conservative, not religious, it's people telling these stories about what happened with near-death experiences. | ||
| That's cool. | ||
| They say, uh, Amiracist is Daily Wire's first theatrical release, and it is another win for Walsh, a widely followed right-wing podcaster and author, and for, uh, for director of producer Justin Falk, a disillusioned Hollywood below-the-line worker whose credits include special effects work on The Matrix and Incredible Hulk, two previously collaborated on What is a Woman, another controversial film. | ||
| I want to stress that I was in Washington, D.C., my friends, and we had a packed theater. | ||
| So, I don't think it's fair to just say it's doing well in these areas. | ||
| They're going to say that Walsh and Folk feel zero qualms about their surreptitious tactics they employed. | ||
| For a lot of these people, if they suspect that you don't agree with them, they're just going to clam up. | ||
| They're going to give you some BS talking points, and you're not going to get what this thing is really about. | ||
| Which makes for a boring movie, and it also makes it a lot less meaningful. | ||
| Folk adds, The distinction between our movies and Borat is that Borat is making fun of everyday Americans. | ||
| Our goal wasn't to make fun of people. | ||
| It was really to bring to light the bad ideas that are out there that are dividing our country. | ||
| Folk says that no one was taken out of context, nor was there any manipulative editing. | ||
| They may not like being in the movie, but again, I think they would stand by every word that they said. | ||
| White people spending millions of dollars to make and see a movie mocking black, brown, and white women, trying to make the world slightly less horrendous, is equal parts pathetic and depraved and totally on point for America, Rao says. | ||
| For her part, Jackson says, until white people decide that they are interested in calculable change in a fearful, violent, hate-ridden, gun-loving, child-killing society, nothing will change. | ||
| Hey, props to them! | ||
| Using this to market once again what they offer to white women who want to be yelled at. | ||
| But let me tell you, my friends, the cultural endeavors that we are seeing from anti-establishment, former liberal, right-wing sources were taken over. | ||
| Tremendous growth, much to the chagrin of the establishment and machine state. | ||
| This is the success of Am I Racist? | ||
| and it lights a fire under me. | ||
| Tom McDonald has been putting out some of the best music we've seen in a long time. | ||
| Rap songs that are meaningful with messages that are well produced with great music videos. | ||
| That's why he smashes tens of millions of views when they drop. | ||
| But why, despite all the success, is he snubbed? | ||
| Why isn't he playing on every radio station? | ||
| Why isn't he on every digital streaming playlist? | ||
| How come he's not on the Billboard Hot 100 every release? | ||
| Something doesn't quite make sense. | ||
| The game is rigged. | ||
| And we all know it. | ||
| But you can't keep lying forever. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because Tom McDonald's got his fans. | ||
| And his fans pay the bills. | ||
| And they pay for these shows. | ||
| And they pay for these songs. | ||
| And they watch these songs. | ||
| You cannot keep the Daily Wire out. | ||
| Well, some have been critical of other Daily Wire projects. | ||
| I've brought this up. | ||
| What is a woman and am I racist? | ||
| Have proven a point. | ||
| Now they're adding more theaters. | ||
| Theaters that normally, I think they said they were only going to do 200. | ||
| And then they expanded. | ||
| They were like, we don't want politics. | ||
| It's not going to work. | ||
| You're not going to make money. | ||
| And it ended up hitting it, I think, number three daily. | ||
| It was number four over the weekend. | ||
| So now you've got a smash hit that's actually making money for these theaters. | ||
| People are shown up there buying products. | ||
| Let me tell you about the music industry, my friends, and the optimism and success. | ||
| I want you all to check out our latest single. | ||
| Of course, I'm going to promote it because we're all working on this stuff. | ||
| Getcominghome.com is an easier URL than buycominghome, so getcominghome.com. | ||
| If you have iTunes installed, it should prompt you to pre-order the song. | ||
| Pre-order now. | ||
| It will be released this Friday. | ||
| The song is about coming home to your hometown to find it in ruin, buildings destroyed, homeless people, garbage, crime, violence, riots. | ||
| We're not going to stand for it anymore. | ||
| Where are the people that were supposed to be watching over this while we were away? | ||
| Let me tell you. | ||
| We've put out six songs, five of which have hit the Billboard charts. | ||
| The last release that we had was a team-up with The Daily Wire. | ||
| It's a song called Together Again. | ||
| Let me tell you a story. | ||
| We'll talk about this. | ||
| Daily Wire crew, Michael Knowles, Jeremy Boren, Jeremy Boren's co-CEO. | ||
| Michael Knowles, of course, you know him, you love him. | ||
| They have a joke group called Smokey Mike and the God King. | ||
| They wanted to play a song at the Ryman Theater for their big event, Happy Together. | ||
| You know the song by the Turtles? | ||
| So happy together, that one. | ||
| Well, They were rejected. | ||
| They said, we'll pay the fee, tell them we want a one-time performance license. | ||
| Standard rate. | ||
| It was denied. | ||
| Jeremy says, offer them 10 times the standard rate. | ||
| It was denied. | ||
| So they come back to Jeremy Boring and they say, they're not going to let you play this song. | ||
| And Jeremy says, I have to know. | ||
| Offer them 100 times the standard. | ||
| We're talking six figures for a one-time performance. | ||
| And they went, Jeremy, are you nuts? | ||
| And he says, I have to know. | ||
| And they came back and said no. | ||
| Now, of course, the Turtles, I don't know that they're doing all so well these days, but they're older, maybe they don't really care. | ||
| They wouldn't let them play it. | ||
| So the Daily Wire decided, we're gonna make a song called Together Again. | ||
| Smokey Mike and the God King, and they played that at the Ryman Auditorium. | ||
| It was their own song, and it was this gag about how they're this famous band from the late 60s and the 70s, and they put on all these costumes, and Michael Knowles and Jeremy... It's actually a really good song. | ||
| Well, after we got the same kind of snubbing, and with the industry that they did to Amiracist, and the same thing had happened to McDonald's over and over again, they do this to them all the time, I had an idea, I was like, why don't we make a pop song called Is This What You Want? | ||
| Where it's innuendo, where we're basically making a garbage club song, and the real message is like, the song is about a guy saying is this what you want to a woman, but we're really saying it to the industry, like, is this the kind of music you want? | ||
| And I was like, no, I got a better idea. | ||
| Let's make a pop version of Together Again in a modern style and do this as a double FU. | ||
| Teamed up with The Daily Wire, called them. | ||
| It was like a year of, you know, work on this project with Backburner. | ||
| We released the song. | ||
| It's the biggest release we ever had. | ||
| It's got almost 7 million views on YouTube on the music video. | ||
| It's got 2 million on the lyric video. | ||
| It's got another million plus across other players. | ||
| We sold somewhere around 35,000 copies of the song in one week. | ||
| And I said, dang, that's our biggest release ever. | ||
| A massive success. | ||
| And we charted, we did. | ||
| Emerging Artists and number nine digital sales, I think it was. | ||
| But wait, wait, wait, hold on. | ||
| That was a massive release, timed properly, working with the tracking agencies and everything properly. | ||
| We should have been way higher on the list. | ||
| And they went, oh yeah, you know that plan that we had approved? | ||
| Actually, it doesn't count. | ||
| They told us that our sales didn't count and they weren't going to put us on the charts. | ||
| A dirty game, I'd say. | ||
| A dirty game indeed. | ||
| Because they didn't want us to have a smashing F you to the machine. | ||
| The game is rigged and we all know it. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| Let me tell you this. | ||
| Amiracist brings in the money. | ||
| You can't deny it. | ||
| Hollywood, Disney, they lost a billion dollars last year on their garbage movies. | ||
| Now they're talking about Agatha all along their gay explosion. | ||
| Good luck. | ||
| I want to tell you this. | ||
| You got these pop artists, they can't command these sales. | ||
| They don't do it. | ||
| Tom McDonald sells more albums than many of these people and they told him, get this, he made a video about it. | ||
| He sold his albums, he tracked the sales as you're supposed to do and they said we're not going to count those album sales. | ||
| That's insane! | ||
| Because they don't want to admit. | ||
| They don't want to allow outsiders into their space where they're going to get pop singers to go on stage and say Trump is a bad guy. | ||
| I didn't make no song saying Trump was a good guy or that Biden or anybody was a bad guy. | ||
| We made regular music, but they're scared because if we get a foothold in cultural industries like Matt Walsh, Tom McDonald, or the success we've had on Billboard, sooner or later, they know they're not going to be able to go to Tom and say, we know you're playing at the Grammys and you're the biggest selling artist in the country. | ||
| Can you say Trump sucks? | ||
| He'll be like, nah, I like Trump. | ||
| And they're going to go, damn. | ||
| They won't let it happen. | ||
| And so they're changing the rules every day. | ||
| What counts towards charting? | ||
| What is a legitimate sale? | ||
| What counts as a real movie? | ||
| Why or why they won't review it? | ||
| They don't want to give it attention. | ||
| So, we got a new song coming out. | ||
| I don't think it'll be as big as Together Again, because that was a pop song I think people really liked. | ||
| But I think it's a good song. | ||
| And we're going to keep making cultural endeavors, and we're going to challenge the machine state, and we're going to push back. | ||
| With your support, my friends, we ain't going to back down. | ||
| Now, for us, Trash House Records, we are looking—we do need new artists, and I think that's something we should definitely be focusing on, but it's a challenge because you don't make a lot of money releasing these songs. | ||
| I think we're definitely in the red on all the music projects because we're trying to, you know, get the ball rolling. | ||
| Granted, we make money, don't get me wrong. | ||
| We got more segments coming up. | ||
| What do we have lined up next? | ||
| if it wasn't actually a viable business. | ||
| But for Matt Walsh, he just made $9 million off this movie in a week, week and a half. | ||
| So if you haven't seen it, I recommend you see this movie. | ||
| They're adding new theaters. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| Smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends. | ||
| We got more segments coming up. | ||
| What do we have lined up next? | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Maybe I should have done this one first. | ||
| This one's Diddygate. | ||
| Celebrities are purging their accounts. | ||
| It's the perfect segue, mind you. | ||
| We're talking about how the industry is rigged, and now the celebrities and rock stars are panicking. | ||

| Nambizzle says, I'm a mail carrier in Washington and I have seen almost no political mailers where usually we are swamped by now. | ||
| So odd. | ||
| I'm saying! | ||
| A lot of people are pointing out they're not seeing as many ads as they normally see. | ||
| It's kind of weird, isn't it? | ||
| Maybe these The politicians are thinking that they're not actually going to be able to get as much, uh... Like, the country's polarized. | ||
| Like, the ads maybe are ineffective. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Trump won't stop texting me. | ||
| Like, I swear, I got like 10 texts a day from the Trump campaign. | ||
| It's like, dude, I already donated the maximum after they tried to kill you. | ||
| You know, I can't give you any more. | ||
| So, just, you know, gotta text me. | ||
| Alright, what have we now? | ||
| What have we now? | ||
| Bubba says, why is no one talking about the port dock worker union is about to go on strike October 1st? | ||
| We'll shut the East Coast shipping down. | ||
| It's gonna get crazy, man. | ||
| I think we briefly mentioned it on IRL, but we didn't do a full segment on it. | ||
| Pickle for sanity says, Tim, I spent the last year and a half writing a fantasy novel about a similar theme to your song. | ||
| Father and son return from an emergency trade mission to find their home is conquered by an evil kingdom. | ||
| I've been dropping teasers on Fridays. | ||
| Oh, very cool! | ||
| That's great analogy. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| You come home to find the evil emperor has taken over. | ||
| Here's a story for you. | ||
| A bunch of the Royal Legion, cavalry of the ancient order. | ||
| are tasked by the king on a sacred quest. | ||
| They go off to protect the outskirts of the kingdom in the far reaches that have been threatened by barbarian hordes. | ||
| And they do, saving the people. | ||
| But it's a great and arduous journey that lasts several months. | ||
| They battle for several months before returning in victory flying their banner. | ||
| But upon returning, the king's throne has been usurped. | ||
| An evil witch has taken over the kingdom, and her plans have turned the kingdom and the capital into a ruin of violence, homelessness, defecation, and she's raised a cult army to protect this kingdom. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| What do these great knights do indeed? | ||
| How do they win back their home and restore the throne to its rightful king? | ||
| There's a story. | ||
| Basically the same thing, I guess, right? | ||
| Alright. | ||
| Soapy Enigma says, I'll rephrase my question, do you people, uh, do you have people still working on that video game? | ||
| No! | ||
| Um, we had two working formats of the video game, and, uh, it never got done, because, I'm gonna be honest with you guys. | ||
| If I'm not making it happen, then, usually, things don't get done, but a lot of stuff gets done now that we have better people, but it's like, a while ago, I need a, I'm gonna take a drink of my delicious raspberry lime. | ||
| Raspberry lime, that's what we're rocking today, Spindrift. | ||
| So, I believe we are releasing the video game Code open source to our members, so that you can pick it up, and it's an open source game then. | ||
| The original version was using the art style of Freedom Tunes. | ||
| It was a King of the Hill game where you climb to the top of a tower, and you do battle with weapons, and it was pretty fun. | ||
| We then inverted it and turned it into a top-down, coming down from the top of a building to the bottom, single-player | ||
| or multiplayer roguelike. | ||
| See, I, you know, normally when I would do the non-live segments, I would be taking drinks in between, but now that | ||
| I'm live you have to watch me drink my delicious Spindrifts. | ||

I'll see you next time. | |
| All right. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| What have we here? | ||
| We'll grab one more. | ||
| The Emperor says, I am in Wisconsin, and I see on average two mailers per day, one per party. | ||
| I think they're just focused on battleground states. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| Makes a lot of sense. | ||
| All right, everybody. | ||
| Let's jump to this next story. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My friends, this is... Diddygate? | |
| Is that what we're calling it? | ||
| Diddygate? | ||
| Internet puzzled as celebs delete their entire tweet histories. | ||
| Oh me, oh my, what's going on? | ||
| A couple of musical A-listers have just wiped their accounts, deleting all evidence of their tweeting history. | ||
| Strange. | ||
| Diddy gets arrested. | ||
| Diddy gets no bail. | ||
| And then all of a sudden, fans were puzzled after Usher deleted his entire ex, formerly Twitter, days After his close friend and mentor, Diddy, was arrested and charged with sex trafficking. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| As of today, tweets from the singer's account have disappeared, including his posts, media, and replies. | ||
| And eagle-eyed social media users have noticed the same thing has happened to Pink's ex-account. | ||
| The star's account Now shows just two tweets, both retweets, from more than five years ago. | ||
| The only thing fans can see from Usher's account are a few highlights. | ||
| However, two of those seem to be from hackers who tweeted about cryptocurrency scams. | ||
| Is that the strategy there, huh? | ||
| Fans questioned why the R&B singer 45 expunged his profile, especially while he's in the middle of his highly anticipated past, present, and future tour. | ||
| Nobody on Usher's team said deleting 7K posts is going to look crazy as hell, given the circumstances. | ||
| Apparently, Usher deleted his entire Twitter stream. | ||
| Now, what's going on is, Usher says he was hacked. | ||
| That's a very smart move for a PR company to be like, you need to get rid of all these tweets. | ||
| And how do you delete 7,000? | ||
| Just put some cryptocurrency garbage in there. | ||
| Claim it was a hack. | ||
| I mean, maybe it was. | ||
| Bad timing for Usher. | ||
| He says that over the weekend almost all of his media and replies on the singer's account were wiped. | ||
| But he says Sunday he was hacked. | ||
| Account got hacked and damn y'all ran with it, he wrote. | ||
| See you tonight at Intuit Dome. | ||
| As of Monday morning, seemingly all posts on Usher's account are visible again. | ||
| Account got hacked and damn y'all ran with it. | ||
| So let's make sure we can pull this up from Usher on X.com and confirm Is it at Usher? | ||
| Is that him? | ||
| That's who it is? | ||
| Raymond IV? | ||
| Are his posts back? | ||
| Looks like it's... They restored them all? | ||
| Is it possible to actually restore all? | ||
| Oh, they got him back! | ||
| You see? | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| He got his old post on the 15th. | ||
| So, you know, a lot of people are pointing this stuff out. | ||
| But I gotta wonder. | ||
| Let's check Pink. | ||
| Pink X account. | ||
| Did she also get hacked? | ||
| Let's see if it was all restored. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| Man, that's just weird, isn't it? | ||
| 30 million followers. | ||
| I think Pink is just not very good, to be completely honest. | ||
| I don't know much about her. | ||
| I got no beef. | ||
| People like Pink, I guess. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I found her music to be a little generic. | ||
| Again, I'm not trying to be mean or disrespectful. | ||
| It's just very poppy. | ||
| And maybe it's a good thing and she goes for that. | ||
| And again, you know, obviously she's a rock star and she's successful, so good for her. | ||
| You know, I'm just saying, you know, it's not my cup of tea. | ||
| What are the Diddy tapes that left police labeling Sean Combs as bad as Epstein? | ||
| I love this meme where it's like, America is so woke we have white Epstein and black Epstein. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| Sean Diddy Combs, 54, is being held at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, where he is said to be on suicide watch. | ||
| They're doing it again! | ||
| Yo, this is from this morning. | ||
| They're doing it again. | ||
| Epstein gets arrested. | ||
| They put him in lockup, deny bail, and then say, uh-oh, he's on suicide watch. | ||
| Now they're doing the same thing to Diddy. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| Conspiracy time. | ||
| Okay, Epstein. | ||
| The conspiracy is, he is working for a shadow cabal. | ||
| He's bringing in powerful world leaders and blackmailing them while engaging in trafficking. | ||
| The play is, You invite a guy on your plane and say, hey, you wanna fly with me to, hey, I got my private jet leaving here. | ||
| We're going to New York. | ||
| Do you wanna fly? | ||
| And they go, yeah, sure, that sounds fun. | ||
| Who wouldn't wanna fly in a private jet? | ||
| It's a real nice one. | ||
| We got a Gulfstream or something like that, right? | ||
| They're big. | ||
| World leader, politician, corporate exec gets on it. | ||
| While he's on this plane, there's a beautiful young woman and he's like, meet so-and-so. | ||
| What do you do? | ||
| She's like, well, I'm in college and I'm doing this and I'm working. | ||
| Oh, very cool. | ||
| And Epstein's like, go for it. | ||
| And these dudes go for it. | ||
| And then what happens is, after they do, Epstein looks at his watch and says, okay, she's 16, you're on camera, and I own you now. | ||
| And the person just starts sweating bolts like, what just happened? | ||
| And he's like, we own you now. | ||
| That's the conspiracy theory. | ||
| What if Diddy was the exact same thing but for the entertainment industry? | ||
| He brings his people in, he says, come to my house, he really films them, he gets it and he says, I own you now. | ||
| You will do what we say. | ||
| Could it be that when these celebrities come out, and they say that they, oh, Trump is evil, he's oh bad, It's because they go to them and they say, look, we got you on camera. | ||
| And think about it this way. | ||
| It might not even be anything as crazy as... Let me put it like this. | ||
| Let's say Epstein brings a guy on a plane and they got a young woman there and the guy says, I can't, I'm married. | ||
| Please get away from me. | ||
| And then Epstein's like, oh yeah, no, sorry, sorry. | ||
| I mean, you know, didn't mean anything by it. | ||
| You want some blow? | ||
| And then the politician's like, that doesn't matter to me! | ||
| And now they got you on camera doing drugs. | ||
| There are a lot of celebrities you might be able to look at and say, I don't think this person was involved in any kind of trafficking or whatever, but they can get you in compromising positions. | ||
| For a lot of these female celebrities, they may be doing things that are embarrassing as a, you know, like, maybe they're hooking up with a guy. | ||
| It's totally consensual, but it's still bad for them. | ||
| You guys remember when Jennifer Lawrence got hacked and they published all that stuff she had on her phone? | ||
| Yo, she had She had stuff on her phone that I don't know why you'd be filming, but you know, it was her and the guy she was into and they were, you know, engaging in adult activities. | ||
| And she filmed it. | ||
| Someone hacked her iCloud and they published not just her, but many other people. | ||
| What was this called? | ||
| Like there's some big scandal. | ||
| And all that stuff was plastered everywhere. | ||
| I feel bad for her, man. | ||
| It's brutal. | ||
| She said she didn't know if her career was over because of what had happened. | ||
| So, you know, she seems nice. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm trying to rag on her and bring up bad memories or whatever, but this stuff happens. | ||
| So when you get these female celebrities, They could be like at a party with some dude and they secretly film them and say, what do you think the world's going to think when we publish this video of you getting down with that guy? | ||
| I wonder, and maybe that's the case, that Diddy was just like Epstein but for the entertainment industry. | ||
| So then they get these women and they say, you're going to come out and you're going to endorse Kamala Harris. | ||
| And they're like, I imagine they first go, hey, would you want to put out a message in support of Kamala? | ||
| We think she's way better. | ||
| You don't like Trump, do you? | ||
| And they might be like, I don't really want to do it. | ||
| Then they probably get pushy and say, look, we're going to need you to do this, OK? | ||
| And they say, look, I'm not endorsing someone. | ||
| Then they're going to say, if you don't endorse them, I don't know that we can book you again. | ||
| And then when they go, look, I ain't doing it. | ||
| Don't book me then. | ||
| They go, I have a video of you in a compromising position. | ||
| Do the message now or else. | ||
| You know, first you try the honey and you try the stick. | ||
| Carrot versus stick. | ||
| Disgraced rapper P Diddy is as bad as Epstein, according to a police officer who has visited the sex rooms packed full of bondage gear and hidden cameras where the Diddy tapes were recorded. | ||
| They say Manhattan Magistrate Judge Robin Tarnofsky made the ruling after almost a two-hour long hearing where prosecutors and the musician's lawyer argued on whether he should be jailed until he faces trial. | ||
| It is now claimed the sordid sex sessions with the either barely legal or barely illegal women, and that he had rooms in his Miami mansion that were clearly dedicated to sex with cameras all around. | ||
| It has been alleged that the often days-long, oh jeez, let's just call them adult parties, described as freak-offs, saw drugged-up victims forced to, wow, do work, do adult things with male prostitutes. | ||
| Holy crap, dude. | ||
| A police source reportedly told the New York Post that Diddy would often watch the romps from another room. | ||
| He also was able to watch the action remotely on his phone, cast it onto a TV in another part of the house. | ||
| He didn't have to be in the room when it was happening, although he frequently was. | ||
| Jeez! | ||
| The Federal Insider said, He would keep the videos of the sensitive, embarrassing, and incriminating romp so he could use them as collateral to ensure the continued obedience and silence of the victims. | ||
| In my opinion, he's as bad as Jeffrey Epstein. | ||
| Yo. | ||
| Let me ask you this. | ||
| You know, a lot of people want to know about Epstein and what he was doing. | ||
| Let me entertain this possibility. | ||
| I know no one's going to believe that's possible. | ||
| You're going to lean towards the darker side of things, and I probably agree, but what if what happened to Epstein was vigilantism? | ||
| Epstein goes to jail. | ||
| A lot of people think being Epstein-ed was to cover it up, but what if it was literally a victim or some vigilante, and he went in and said, this guy's too dangerous, and they put an end to him? | ||
| They put Diddy on suicide watch, what if it really is some law enforcement guy being like, give me a crack at him? | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| But I feel like that's possible. | ||
| When Epstein dies and nobody thinks it was suicide, they claim it was, what if it was one of his powerful victims? | ||
| A world leader who's thinking, we got him. | ||
| And I'm not saying that somebody did something wrong. | ||
| Certainly a lot of people did. | ||
| The people who were engaged in those deals with Epstein. | ||
| But I wonder if part of the reason why they won't release the Epstein tapes, I'm sorry, the Epstein lists, not the tapes, the lists of clients. | ||
| I think there's probably some people that probably were screwing around, but they're victims. | ||
| They were tricked. | ||
| And that's the big challenge. | ||
| What if there's a guy who was on a plane with a young woman, he's a single guy, he's 28, he's working in politics, he's tricked by Epstein into doing drugs or something, not the worst of the worst, engaging with a minor or whatever, you gotta know what you're doing, man. | ||
| You can't do that stuff. | ||
| But what if he gets blackmailed, and they're like, if we release this, these people, they're just doing drugs. | ||
| If we publish their names, it's gonna destroy their lives. | ||
| I think it's possible. | ||
| I do. | ||
| That being said, they can redact those names and publish the names of the clients, the people working with Epstein, but the reason they won't is because those people are probably still in government and still in power, and they don't want to be exposed. | ||
| Look at the brutality of the real world, my friends. | ||
| It's crazy, isn't it? | ||
| I think we might actually get another segment for you coming up. | ||
| Let's see if we got anything. | ||
| I think I might have something else. | ||
| I thought I had a... You know what we'll do? | ||
| We'll talk about... I do have something for you guys to round off this morning show. | ||
| So smash that like button and subscribe to this channel. | ||
| Share this show with your friends. | ||
| Next segment will be coming up at 8 p.m. | ||
| over at youtube.com slash TimCastIRL. | ||
| Hope to see you there. | ||
| Follow me on Axe at TimCast. | ||
| And for the rest of you, we'll grab your Super Chats. | ||
| For everybody else, we're going to do a mini-segment. | ||
| I don't know if I'll record it as a full segment. | ||
| Maybe I will. | ||
| Let me grab this viral tweet that I had. | ||
| It's got almost a million views. | ||
| God is real. | ||
| And I want to talk to you about this story. | ||
| But we'll grab some of your superchats before I do. | ||
| I don't think I'll do this one as a separate segment. | ||
| I think we'll just round out the show with the last 20 minutes by talking about this stuff. | ||

|
Alright! | |
| Let's grab a couple superchats here. | ||
| Soapy Enigma says, I can program. | ||
| The plan for the video game is, I think we may have already done this in the Discord. | ||
| We've released the code and said, you guys can finish it off. | ||
| The game was, you're climbing down from the top of a skyscraper. | ||
| I don't know if I should give out the story just yet, I think I already did. | ||
| The story was that you're a normal guy, Normie, that's his name, and you have to get to your son's Little League game, but right before your shift is over, news reports that an unarmed black man was killed by police, and when he looks over the edge of the building, he sees 15 million Antifa, and he's just like, oh no! | ||
| And then he runs to to the elevator to get out because I gotta go to this kid's little league game when the elevator opens and a bunch of Antifa jump out. | ||
| And he's like, Oh, no, it's Antifa. | ||
| But then one of the Antifa guys malfunctions. | ||
| And, you know, sparks fly out. | ||
| And then it turns out they're all robots. | ||
| There's no actual people and no violence whatsoever. | ||
| It's just a bunch of robots pretending to be Antifa. | ||
| You see how we get around the sensors on that one. | ||
| And then you have to fight your way down to the bottom of the building to get home. | ||
| The guy, you know, that was basically the premise of the game. | ||
| All right. | ||
| AK Storm says, did you end up making your boards in the USA? | ||
| Also, there's an all-USA-made clothing company, Origin USA. | ||
| See if you can get Pete on to talk about it. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| All of the Boonies HQ skateboards, my friends, are made here in these United States. | ||
| The limited edition promo boards are made just across the way over in PA by good ol' Americans using North American rock maple. | ||
| I think it's North American rock maple. | ||
| So, good ol' American skateboards made by Americans in America, and that means we gotta pay American prices. | ||
| So when we launched the Boonies store, and we got these beautiful Boonies boards, these are all made in America, and we were told... | ||
| We were told, you could, they said to us, we could do this in China. | ||
| And I gotta be honest, the Chinese boards they sent us were really good. | ||
| And I was like, dang. | ||
| I was like, that's a shame. | ||
| Now don't get me wrong, they're all great. | ||
| They're all really, really good. | ||
| I'm really ridiculously impressed by the quality of these boards with the manufacturer we're going through and all this stuff. | ||
| So I'm really, really excited about this. | ||
| And so it all is made in America, but I gotta tell you, making it in America means it's more expensive. | ||
| We were hoping to keep the prices as low as possible. | ||
| Which would have been around like 45 bucks. | ||
| And it's legit. | ||
| I think it costs us like 10 bucks more to make it in America. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| Because you got American workers who demand American salaries and wages and they deserve it. | ||
| Here's the crazy thing. | ||
| They harvest wood, send it to China on a big truck, on a big ship, in a shipping container. | ||
| It's not a truck, ships. | ||
| They ship it. | ||
| And then it goes to China. | ||
| They then have Chinese workers for pennies on the dollar, make the skateboards, load them up and send them back to America. | ||
| Insane. | ||
| Insane. | ||
| A waste of energy, a waste of time. | ||
| But it's because the Chinese laborers are willing to work for garbage. | ||
| I'm not a fan. | ||
| Our boards are made in America. | ||
| And, uh, when you get your board... Wait, wait. | ||
| There's only four boards there. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| The Tim Pool board. | ||
| That's an old graphic, by the way. | ||
| The new one has more cursive on it. | ||
| But I think these are the first run. | ||
| And I was like, guys, that Tim Pool text is, like, too boring. | ||
| You know, in America, you got American workers doing the work every day, and that's the investment we make. | ||
| It means the boards are 55 bucks. | ||
| We could sell them for 70. | ||
| Most pro boards cost a lot more than that, but I think this about does it for us. | ||
| There's the cost for the team riders to pay their bills as well, and their brands, and then there's the cost of the American boards distribution. | ||
| So the margins are relatively slim, but I'm glad to see that we sold out of the boobies boards. | ||
| That's a great one. | ||
| The boobies. | ||
| And it's got a little booby bird. | ||
| So yeah, go to boonieshq.com, become a member, sign up for exclusive videos, member access, live streams, as well as you as members at Boonies HQ if you're interested in skateboarding or being involved. | ||
| Maybe you've got kids. | ||
| You're the judges. | ||
| We got some contests planned. | ||
| We're calling the Boonies Bounties. | ||
| And we're going to send out these digital contests for the best tricks done. | ||
| We're going to call it the tricks. | ||
| And then when people submit their videos, it is the members at Boonies HQ who decide who actually wins those bounty prizes. | ||
| So we're trying to build the culture up. | ||
| We are building the culture up. | ||
| We're making content, having fun, making jokes. | ||
| So check out Boonies HQ. | ||
| But let's talk about God being real. | ||
| Many of you may be atheists. | ||
| You're allowed to be. | ||
| I got no beef. | ||
| I have arguments for you. | ||
| But you can believe whatever you want to believe. | ||
| I'll make my arguments. | ||
| But I believe God is real. | ||
| And I am not a Christian. | ||
| I don't follow organized religion. | ||
| Maybe that describes me as deist or something. | ||
| I kind of just have my own view on life, spirituality, science, etc. | ||
| Probably wrong about everything, because how could I fathom the infinite? | ||
| Certainly I could not. | ||
| But I try. | ||
| So we have this story that I saw while I was reading Instagram. | ||
| It really brings me to tears when I read these stories. | ||
| I'm going to read for you a story that I say shows evidence. | ||
| A tiny bit. | ||
| Not proof. | ||
| Not proof positive. | ||
| Not great evidence. | ||
| Doesn't prove the case. | ||
| But I think it's just evidence that God is real. | ||
| And I'll explain in greater detail. | ||
| Let me read you the story first and then present you with my views. | ||
| I saw this on a thread about the unexplained. | ||
| This user on Reddit says, I was out at my friend's cabin in the middle of nowhere and woke up at around 4am and something in me said to just drive home. | ||
| I got my stuff and left. | ||
| This was backwoods, no lights, no pavement type of road. | ||
| So I'm driving and I see light in the trees. | ||
| I drove by it and something told me to stop, so I did. | ||
| I got out of my car and there was a car wedged about 30 feet into the woods, almost vertical with a dome light on. | ||
| It had crashed. | ||
| I went up to the car and there was a girl wedged between the windshield and the dashboard bleeding profusely. | ||
| I now know what blood smells like. | ||
| I jumped out of the car and grabbed my phone, no signal. | ||
| I didn't know, or maybe it didn't work then, that 911 will always be reachable even without a signal. | ||
| So I panic for a second. | ||
| Do I help her or do I drive till I get service? | ||
| I drive till I get service, tell 9-1-1 approximately where I am, and it's an unmarked road. | ||
| 9-1-1 operator tells me to go back, turn on my headlights, and try to apply pressure to whatever I see is bleeding. | ||
| So I do exactly that. | ||
| First responder arrives after a few minutes. | ||
| I honestly don't know what woke up and told me I needed to make a four-hour drive at 4 a.m. | ||
| I don't know why I felt the need to stop and investigate a tiny light in the woods. | ||
| I'll tell you what I think. | ||
| I think God's real. | ||
| I think that there is certainly a greater to this universe. | ||
| I think it is easy enough to see that something exists beyond us when you just read about what we know of math and the universe, and something seemingly defy probability. | ||
| Many people have had profound experiences which give them proof that there is something beyond us. | ||
| This guy can't explain it. | ||
| It doesn't mean there's a man in a robe with white hair and a beard living in the clouds. | ||
| That's silly. | ||
| But it does mean that there is a logic or something greater to the universe that has influence and intervenes, is the big question. | ||
| Some people have offered up other stories. | ||
| Let me see if I can pull this one up. | ||
| We've got Curmudgeon Coral. | ||
| He says, I was stationed at Fort Bragg. | ||
| I would go to Iron Mike's gym on occasion during the evenings. | ||
| I didn't have a car at the time, so I walked when I went. | ||
| When I walked, I would always take the same route. | ||
| This particular evening when I walked home, I decided to enter the barracks on the complete opposite side of the building and even went up to the floor above, which I lived. | ||
| Something I never did. | ||
| I found my friend holding something standing at the rail with tears streaming down his eyes. | ||
| He had tied a rope to the base of the railing, fashioned a noose, and was holding it open with both hands, as if he was about to put it around his neck. | ||
| I stopped him that evening. | ||
| I think of this often, often wondering what happened to him. | ||
| I've had other situations like this happen to me, especially when I was in Afghanistan and Iraq, I believe in divine intervention. | ||
| There are too many instances not to. | ||
| I've told this story. | ||
| Here's another one. | ||
| Rod Sirloin with a silly... I've never read this one before. | ||
| He says, I was at a stoplight and a car slipped out of control and hit the oncoming car. | ||
| A wife and husband and baby all got out of the car and went to the grass. | ||
| They were okay. | ||
| I called 911 and told them what happened. | ||
| I felt compelled to get out of my truck and check on them despite all the chaos and the fact there were several other dozen cars and people closer. | ||
| Within a few seconds and two steps from my truck, an impatient driver flew up the shoulder at 50 miles an hour, T-boning my truck exactly in my driver door, totaling it. | ||
| It's crazy, right? | ||
| Now this, I could explain. | ||
| You're a good man, you wanted to check on a family, you got lucky, right? | ||
| But here's what I think is interesting in stories like this. | ||
| I've told this story before that we had this guy in our neighborhood who, uh, this is a story as I was told. | ||
| And maybe it's a rumor, maybe it was manipulation, whatever, but this is the story that was going around the neighborhood. | ||
| This dude always worked late. | ||
| We considered him lazy. | ||
| It seems like a paradox, right? | ||
| He works late but he's lazy? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He worked late because he worked at a fast food restaurant where he didn't have to do anything. | ||
| And so everyone's like, he just basically stands there all day, grabs the bags, other people put the chicken in the bag, his KFC or whatever, and then he hands the bag out the window, and so it was easy just to stand around. | ||
| One day, He decided that he had to leave abruptly in the middle of his shift. | ||
| He went to the manager and said that he wasn't feeling good and he wanted to go home. | ||
| The manager was like, you always work late, you're always picking up shifts, so take the night off if you need it. | ||
| He didn't go home, though. | ||
| He ended up walking several miles from his house to another one of our friends' house in the neighborhood that he knew. | ||
| Upon arriving, he found these two young men overdosing. | ||
| And he called 911 where Narcan was administered and their lives were saved, where even a few minutes later, they'd be dead. | ||
| And I remember, again, as I was told, you know, for all I know, everybody just wanted the story to be this way. | ||
| But I know these guys directly. | ||
| I know this dude, like, this is a guy I used to hang out with all the time. | ||
| I remember my one friend asked him, he told me this, he said, I asked him, Fatso, why did you walk three miles leaving work early to go to this house? | ||
| And he was shaking up nearly in tears saying, I don't know, I don't know, man. | ||
| It's like, why did you even leave work early? | ||
| You weren't sick. | ||
| And he was like, I just felt, I just felt like I had to leave. | ||
| I just felt I couldn't be here. | ||
| I told the guy, I don't know. | ||
| Crazy story. | ||
| Crazy. | ||
| Maybe the truth is, you know, some say he was leaving early to go I don't know. | ||
| He wanted to do drugs with his friends or whatever. | ||
| I don't know that I just entirely believe that. | ||
| Some people want to. | ||
| They say, nah, he was going to score and he got lucky. | ||
| You can make those arguments. | ||
| You certainly can. | ||
| I don't believe it though. | ||
| I think that's less likely. | ||
| I mean, maybe it's more likely to believe in a greater power intervening in these circumstances, but it was just so out of character. | ||
| When the dude, if he wanted to go do, like, drugs and go party with these guys or whatever, he wouldn't have scheduled a shift and he would have just, he would have just not gone to work! | ||
| I don't know, he wouldn't have abruptly, for no reason, went to his boss and said, I need to leave work right now. | ||
| It was just out of character and out of place. | ||
| But maybe. | ||
| Maybe it's all explainable. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I tell you this. | ||
| What I see here with these stories is you can certainly explain them all the way, and fine, so be it. | ||
| A person might just say, dude, these things happen. | ||
| You don't hear any of the stories where the dude didn't get out of bed and didn't save someone's life, do you? | ||
| And I'm like, right. | ||
| But why is it that there's so many stories where they felt a calling? | ||
| That's my question. | ||
| Something connects all of us. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Some people want to believe that when you're saying God, you're literally referencing a guy flying in the sky, shooting around, and he's invisible. | ||
| And that's so silly. | ||
| Consciousness exists. | ||
| We know it does because we experience it. | ||
| But our consciousness is connected to the realm, the universe, the reality we exist in. | ||
| Electrons, firing, neurons, chemicals, etc. | ||
| It's all part of the fabric of reality, which means consciousness is a connected fabric of reality. | ||
| Maybe we are all part of this greater. | ||
| I don't know, but there is something beyond us. | ||
| And so I think when you see so many of these stories where people say, I felt a voice, I heard a voice, I felt something pulling, I can't explain it. | ||
| We can hypothesize something connects us. | ||
| There is something greater than all of us. | ||
| Maybe we are all pieces of God. | ||
| You can describe it however you want. | ||
| The universe is God. | ||
| God exists beyond the universe. | ||
| Many people believe different things. | ||
| But I truly believe there is a higher power. | ||
| And I see these stories. | ||
| They scream to you. | ||
| There's so many instances like this where people have said, someone called to me, something called to me and made me act out of the ordinary in a strange way. | ||
| I've told the story where a friend of mine A guy that I knew became a Christian despite being a drug-addicted partier. | ||
| He said he was part of this church commune. | ||
| They called it a commune, but it was actually just, you know, you're a homeless guy, you start working there, you volunteer, they give you a room, call it what you want. | ||
| And I asked him how he became Christian. | ||
| He wore earrings. | ||
| He had a necklace. | ||
| And he said that he was a drug addict. | ||
| He was, like, crust punk, garbage, partying, didn't care about life. | ||
| He was hanging out in the woods with friends. | ||
| They were doing drugs all night. | ||
| He went to bed. | ||
| He woke up in the morning stone sober. | ||
| Hungover, probably. | ||
| And he said he walked off from the group to go to take a leak. | ||
| While he was taking a leak, he felt a booming voice in his own chest say, why are you doing this? | ||
| And it terrified him. | ||
| He started freaking out. | ||
| He heard it again. | ||
| Why are you doing this? | ||
| You need to stop. | ||
| He started panicking, adrenaline rush. | ||
| He said he was freaking out. | ||
| He went back, and that moment on, done. | ||
| He never touched drugs again. | ||
| He began asking questions, trying to ask people, like, what was it that happened to me? | ||
| And so he went to the church, and he asked them, and they told him, you had an intervention. | ||
| Something, someone, an angel, God, someone told you to make your life better. | ||
| After that, he stopped doing drugs, he got a job, he cleaned himself up, he was running a cafe. | ||
| Incredible story. | ||
| And he said to me, I don't think I'll ever convince you, make you believe that it actually happened to me, but it doesn't matter because it did and it changed my life. | ||
| And I said, I believe you. | ||
| Whether it's that you experienced something you can't explain or God really spoke to you, I don't know. | ||
| But your life flipped on a dime and here you are. | ||
| Your life changed. | ||
| Something happened that day. | ||
| Personally, I don't see it that hard to believe that there is a greater power than us. | ||
| We're humans that exist in a reality we have limited control over. | ||
| In a video game, I can go in and enter console commands and change the shape and size of objects. | ||
| I can type the code. | ||
| I can make a video game. | ||
| I can program. | ||
| I can control what I see on the visual screen. | ||
| But in reality, we exist simply within it. | ||
| I can't snap my fingers, rewrite reality, and make a guitar appear out of thin air. | ||
| We are components of a greater machine which we do not control. | ||
| I think it's fair to assume that there is something beyond us we can't recognize. | ||
| But I'll give you a better one. | ||
| In the early 1900s, humans thought that what we could touch, smell, see, and hear was reality. | ||
| This was it. | ||
| In fact, before the discovery of air, people thought there was nothing there. | ||
| Until... | ||
| I forgot the guy's name. | ||
| They used to shower, they had these brass balls with a straw coming out of it, and there were holes in the bottom. | ||
| And what you would do is you would dip it in water, put your thumb over the straw, creating a vacuum, and when you lifted it up, the water could not come out. | ||
| You'd then put it over your head and let go, and the water would pour out. | ||
| Some dude goes, hey, hold on there a minute. | ||
| He plugs it first, dips it in the water, lifts it up, there's no water inside. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| There must be something inside of this object that explains it. | ||
| That's how they began to realize that it's not that there's nothing in front of you. | ||
| There is something. | ||
| Just can't see it. | ||
| They started to realize that things existed they couldn't see. | ||
| In fact, the discovery of the number zero was profound in mathematics. | ||
| Humans have long thought that things didn't exist until they found them. | ||
| The charged electromagnetic spectrum blew the minds of humanity and opened up the door for technologies we could not fathom. | ||
| It is obvious, I say, today, that there are things that exist that we don't know exist. | ||
| We're dumb monkeys. | ||
| We are primates on a moist planet in this vast universe. | ||
| There could be aliens, for all we know. | ||
| Maybe the voice the guy heard in his chest was an alien. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Certainly there's a power greater than us. | ||
| Interdimensional beings? | ||
| Who knows. | ||
| People talk about DMT trips and machine elves. | ||
| Wild stuff out there. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| Maybe we can't know. | ||
| Our brains just aren't big enough. | ||
| Maybe when we die, we might discover. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| Maybe some people really do know. | ||
| Maybe the religious texts are correct, because the powers that be seek to inform you to the best of their abilities. | ||
| They don't directly intervene, but sometimes they do with miracles. | ||
| Sometimes they do by telling someone to go save someone else. | ||
| And these are the stories. | ||
| Because for all the stories that we have where someone says, a voice called to me and I saved a life, what about the other stories? | ||
| Where the voice called to someone and they took a life? | ||
| Demons and angels. | ||
| I have to wonder, you know? | ||
| In the Constantine movie with Keanu Reeves, I think John Constance is a better character than DC. | ||
| The movie was still fun, but it was like, it wasn't as good. | ||
| He says that demons whisper in your ears and influence bad behavior, and the angels whisper in your ears to influence good behavior, the great war on earth. | ||
| That could be it. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| My friends, I'll read a couple of your superchats before we get out of here for the morning. | ||
| I appreciate y'all hanging out, superchatting and everything. | ||

| Get Coming Home, the new song, coming out this Friday. | ||
| Pre-ordered on iTunes. | ||
| You need the iTunes player? | ||
| But, uh, maybe this song, the message will be good and you guys will like it. | ||
| It's much more serious, much serious, uh, much more serious song. | ||
| And, uh, you know, maybe we'll send a message. | ||
| We'll send a message that we can take this industry. | ||
| We are a part of it. | ||
| They can't keep us out and you're not going to get a bunch of anti-Trump sycophants singing songs and making movies. | ||
| Alright, we'll just grab two of the superchats here before we get out of here. | ||
| Azalea Primrose says, One thing I don't like about Ian is how he uses fantasy ideas from TV and movies as if they were real. | ||
| I like him mostly otherwise. | ||
| Also, apparently Israel started bombing Lebanon or something. | ||
| IDK. | ||
| They did indeed. | ||
|

Alright. | |
| Dudebro says, the gift of salvation is free. | ||
| Pray to Jesus, ask for forgiveness of your sins. | ||
| No, Jesus died and rose from the dead. | ||
| Follow his commandments. | ||
| Byvox says, Tim, I'm sure our support here is in question between dropping three videos before your afternoon and whether or not it's profitable for you to go live twice. | ||
| Do what you enjoy, my dude. | ||
| Love you, bro. | ||
| The audiences for the Tim Pool Morning Show and IRL are different, with great overlap, but they're different. | ||
| I have people message saying that they do not like watching IRL because it's too conversational, and they much prefer a traditionally hosted morning. | ||
| Like, what I'm doing is more like talk radio, just a single host talking through things. | ||
| And IRL is a conversation news podcast. | ||
| They're two different products. | ||
| And so if I were to stop doing one or the other, then ultimately viewership and revenue drops. | ||
| However, with a decreased workload, I can do other things, I guess. | ||
| But it is what it is. | ||
| I'll put it this way. | ||
| In life, we are on a treadmill. | ||
| And if you stand still, you move backwards. | ||
| If you walk, you stay where you are. | ||
| You have to run to get ahead. | ||
| And in this instance, I'm telling you, I am sprinting. | ||
| Full speed on a treadmill moving backwards. | ||
| It's tough every single day. | ||
| I'm sure my family and, you know, significant other, May actually reach the breaking point and say, Tim, enough. | ||
| You're not working anymore. | ||
| We're going camping or something. | ||
| And you know, that's probably going to be the case. | ||
| But maybe like once a month, I take a weekend off and go on a trip or something to accommodate. | ||
| But I've been having these, I've been thinking about it. | ||
| I used to travel twice a week. | ||
| I used to travel all over the world, go to various places, documenting, meeting people. | ||
| And since launching these shows, I don't go anywhere. | ||
| Just in the building all the time. | ||
| Morning show, night show, etc. | ||
| And so, you know, I don't know how long it's possible. | ||
| There was an idea. | ||
| Don't know when. | ||
| Could be soon. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| Certainly not before the election, obviously. | ||
| But the idea would be to do the morning show from the road, and Culture War from the road, and Timcast IRL from the road. | ||
| I don't know what the likelihood of this is. | ||
| It's probably less than a percent. | ||
| But it is an idea. | ||
| TimCast IRL keeps going. | ||
| However, we take a Class A bus, effectively a tour bus, we pull up in various cities, do the morning show, have fun traveling and eating at various places, and then we actually just have guests from those cities, and on Friday nights we bring in TimCast members as our guests. | ||
| TimCast members who call in consistently, they've really proven themselves as intelligent, articulate individuals. | ||
| They host shows on the Discord server, so go to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member. | ||
| And I think that's an excellent way to bring in various guests with a more grounded perspective that a lot of these political junkies don't have. | ||
| So we're thinking about doing something like that. | ||
| That could be cool. | ||
| And maybe that solves the problem of being locked in a box the whole time. | ||
| Then we'll let the Boonies crew do the Boonies thing while we go on the road, but I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| You know, whenever I say stuff about like what we may do or may not do and never had any conversations with anyone about it, we get inundated with emails. | ||
| Then everyone starts talking about it. | ||
| And then I got 800 people here asking me, being like, Tim, you're doing this. | ||
| When are we doing it? | ||
| I'm like, I'm not doing anything. | ||
| I was on the show and I said, you know, it'd be fun if we did this. | ||
| Yeah, probably never gonna happen, but bye. | ||
| And then all of a sudden, everyone claims it's happening. | ||
| Anyway, thanks for hanging out, my friends, for the morning show. | ||
| Share the show right now with 28,000 people who have watched this show live at any one moment, and that 200,000 to 300,000 who will totally watch the show if all of y'all. | ||
| Just shared it and said, this is the show I like watching. | ||
| Take a listen. | ||
| We'd be the biggest podcast in the world. | ||
| We'd be crushing the New York Times. | ||
| And if you think we should, share the video, I guess. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out, everybody. | ||
| Follow me on TimCast. | ||
| We're back tonight at 8 p.m. |
