Hello, my friends.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
It's been pretty incredible watching how Democrats have reacted to Donald Trump's victory, the moves he's been making.
And so I just want to start very simply with we've all watched their polling collapse, their narrative collapse.
And there's a recurring theme in media right now that there's no explanation.
None of it makes sense.
But also at the same time, Democrats have no message.
They don't know what they're protesting against.
So they're going to go with they like fraud and abuse.
Let's put it this way.
Even if they were right about Elon Musk, people don't like waste, fraud and abuse.
And they've positioned themselves against the narrative.
And so simply put, Trump controls the narrative.
The narrative machine is broken.
They don't have anything.
And the perception of the American people is, as we've long known, the government is wasting all of our money.
So when Donald Trump comes out and says, we found fraud, we found waste, and they start naming these programs.
What happens?
Well, the American people get pissed off because they can see their grocery prices and they can see the reporting.
It's true.
But then Democrats come out and it's, you know, I got to be completely honest.
It is a bit cringe, to be fair.
Many of the protests we're seeing from Democrats, they're all really old.
And so we end up with this older generation trying to preserve a corrupt system that funnels money into garbage, fraudulent NGOs and stupid crackpot programs all around the world.
So as I said, even if they were right, that Elon Musk is simply going in government to gut the regulatory agencies that come after him, well, they've lost the narrative battle at this point.
We've seen enough.
To be fair, we've seen enough.
I think so.
You've got illegal immigration.
You've got people being killed.
By many illegal immigrants, these stories are terrifying.
And the media claimed we were lying.
They said the right wing's lying.
Immigrants commit less crime.
Oh, we didn't say immigrants.
We said illegal immigrants.
That's a difference.
The media said the economy is better than ever.
What are you talking about?
We said, dude, we can see our grocery prices.
And now Donald Trump has won in what they call the podcast presidency.
So let's take a look at the big picture here and we'll start to go through all of it.
Just the other day, we saw Elon Musk with Donald Trump in the Oval Office, as well as Little X. That's Little X is what they call him.
I think his name is pronounced as Elon's son, by the way.
X-A-I? I could be wrong about that.
Trying to get his name right, but I could be wrong.
And a little guy was picking his nose in the Oval Office.
But what are you going to do?
I feel bad for the kid.
He's going to be an adult someday, and he's going to be like, oh, man.
He's on TV for the whole world to watch as his dad was gutting the bureaucratic state.
But the big picture, I think, with all of this, of course, is that the machine's broken.
The Democrats are spiraling out of control.
Voters are quitting.
They're their least popularity ever.
And the only thing they can muster up is, I guess, Elon is bad?
You know, I gotta be honest, guys.
It's one thing when they tried playing the orange man bad game.
I get it.
The problem now is Elon is not nearly as prominent as Trump.
There's nothing to protest.
He's a government employee.
So you get people like Schumer and Elizabeth Warren and Maxine Waters coming out being like, Elon is bad!
And it's like, okay, well, you know, Trump could fire him, I guess.
Could you imagine if, like, every Democrat came out and started protesting, just like John Smith, the head of, you know, insert department, and being like, we don't like this guy.
You'd be like, I mean, he's not an elected official.
What is the public supposed to do about a government employee doing audits?
You want to protest Donald Trump?
That I get.
But you see, the problem is Trump's popular.
He won the popular vote.
They know it.
So what they're trying to do now through their Elon derangement syndrome is target Elon.
The only problem is there's no voting Elon out.
To be fair, there's no voting Trump out.
But you could impeach Trump, I guess.
I suppose they know they wouldn't win that fight, so they're going to go after Elon.
But let's just go above board.
Let's go surface level.
Let's go exactly what we're looking at right now.
Waste, fraud, and abuse is legit.
It's real.
One story going around is that there was like a single-page document that was requesting a billion dollars that tried getting through.
And the guy, I can't remember who the guy at the Treasury was.
He was like, wait a minute.
We're not going to do that one.
But all the rest are fine.
That's what we're actually seeing being worked on.
So I have questions, I do, about where we go as a nation.
If the Democratic Party has become gutter garbage and they have nothing to protest, but yo, I got some videos to show you that are going to make you laugh.
Maybe cry.
I don't know.
But we'll talk about the current state of the Democratic Party.
People are quitting and Elon Musk is their scapegoat.
Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com.
Hey, we got coffee and it is good.
It is good.
Appalachian Nights has for a long time been everybody's favorite.
It's pretty crazy when people tell me it's the best cup of coffee they've ever had, but something changed.
Something changed when Ian launched his graphene dream.
You know, Ian has long dreamt of graphene, and Ian was like, I need low-acidity coffee because it hurts my stomach.
So we did some research.
We looked at which coffees had lower acidity, and we made a blend.
We put it together, and here we are.
And now people are saying it's fantastic.
You know, some people are saying, like, I like to work out and I want to have some coffee, but it'll upset my stomach.
This one doesn't.
So Ian sold over a year's worth of coffee in a month.
He sold, I believe, like a year and a half worth of, and what I mean like a year's worth is our average sales over the past.
Casper's been around for a couple years now, and it's absolutely insane the amount of graphene dream this man is selling.
Y'all are putting Ian through college!
I mean, figuratively, but you do know he needs it.
But Ian's selling coffee like hotcakes.
My friends also, click the link in the description below.
If you're on Rumble, you can see it on our Timcast IRL page.
The Green Room Show is now live on Rumble.com.
Yesterday, we had a behind-the-scenes conversation with Mark Dubowitz as I was fingerboarding.
That's what it's called, tech-decking.
And 30,000 views on this members-only show where I basically ranted about Israel.
And was basically saying, you know, we should not be involved in their funding.
And Mark agreed.
We had a great conversation.
He was basically saying, in agreement, we want to taper off funding.

But let's just jump into the news, of course, my friends.
Elon Musk vows to root out the highest paid corrupt D.C. bureaucrats as he stuns America alongside Trump.
Not the boldest of headlines, to be completely honest.
We know what he's doing.
He gave a great discussion.
He was asked many questions.
So I want to jump into how Democrats are reacting.
And I want to show you the current aggregate polling for Democrats, which is miserable.
But of course, smash that like button and share the show.
Take the URL to this video.
Post it on every social media platform.
It really, really does help.
And smashing the like button is always good.
It always does help us out.
Let's do this.
We'll come back to what Elon has to say.
And we'll jump back in time.
A week ago.
As more than 1,000 gathered outside the Treasury Department to protest Elon Musk's government influence.
Nobody elected Elon.
Defend democracy.
Stop hating each other because you disagree.
That's a sign I find pretty funny.
Stop the millionaire grift.
Hey, hey, sir, Elon's a billionaire.
Okay, there's a difference.
I do think I have a video pulled.
Look at this photo.
Isn't this not like the greatest photo ever of the end of the Democratic Party?
Let's go through it.
You've got Al Green with his gold supervillain cane.
He's preparing to impeach Donald Trump.
You've got the guy next to him sleeping.
Maxine Waters looking confused and belligerent.
Hey, this lady right here, I don't know who she is, but she seems pretty happy.
I can respect that.
I got no beef.
You've got this guy who looks completely and utterly confused.
Chuck Schumer trying to raise his fist angrily.
It just doesn't work.
Then you've got this guy.
And I mean no disrespect.
I feel kind of bad, but he doesn't look like he looks like he has no idea what's going on.
You know, this guy also appears to be sleeping.
This guy appears to be sleeping.
I'm kidding.
They're probably just blinking.
But it is funny.
And it is kind of sad.
CNN, Democrats mobilized to take on Musk after weeks of struggling to find a message.
I love the admission from CNN. This encapsulates modern politics oh so well.
The Democrats have literally nothing.
Trump was right about the economy.
Trump was right about immigration.
Trump was right about the war in Ukraine.
Trump was right about every—maybe not literally everything, but most things Trump was right about.
And that's why he won a popular mandate.
That's why his approval rating right now is averaging around four or five points, the best of his political career.
To be fair, the day after he got elected, he had like a plus 13 approval rating, but come on.
Now that Trump is actually actively working, what do we see?
Aggregate approval, above board, best of his career.
So the Democrats have nothing.
Seriously.
Trump is a fairly moderate individual.
Telling people that you want the government to stop stealing their money is a popular concept.
Mass deportations has, I think it's like the polls show an aggregate of 70% approval among the American people.
And yeah, the economy is not in good shape.
So Trump is cooking and the American people are like, let the man do his thing.
Now, of course, there are still weird cultists that have aligned with Democrats who are going to keep protesting, but this nails it.
Democrats have no message.
What are they even fighting for?
Honest question.
Man, for kids to get sex changes, I guess.
I mean, they're really fighting for that.
Trump issued several executive orders, and the Democrats have—Democratic activist judges are blocking them.
So this is where it gets really crazy.
This is the implosion of Democrats and the bureaucratic state.
Trump comes out and he's like, kids shouldn't get sex changes.
Signed and sent.
And a bunch of states said, no!
We're going to make sure those kids do get sex changes.
And it's just like, okay, well that's not popular.
70 plus percent of people think children should not be getting sex changes.
But the Democrats are, that's the hill they've chosen.
Then Trump says, we are going to mass deport illegal immigrant criminals.
And the Democrats once again say, no, why?
Stop.
Let the criminals go.
That's not popular.
The American people don't like the idea of criminal murders and rapists going around and attacking the American people, and they should be deported.
Oh, boy.
Then RFK Jr. comes for his appointment hearing, his confirmation hearing, and he says, we've got chemicals in our food and water that's making people sick.
We should stop.
And the Democrats unanimously voted against him.
So, oh, boy.
And then, of course, you have Elon Musk going after waste, fraud, and abuse.
With the decree from the American people, we voted for Donald Trump when he said, we're going to have Doge.
We're going to shut this stuff down.
Elon is our avatar in that regard, and the Democrats are going after him.
So let's start from step one.
As we know, people have been quitting the Democratic Party quite a bit.
They have no message.
Let's take everything they're fighting and then come to understand what it means to be a Democrat today.
One.
You lie about the economy, and everybody knows, but let's not say that's an official position.
Based on what they're actually fighting against, the official position of the Democratic Party today, the mandate of Democrats is bloat in government, taxpayer dollars spent on psychotic, corrupt nonprofits and garbage around the world, more war, sex changes for kids, and criminal illegal immigrants murdering people.
I wish I was joking.
But if Democrats are opposing all of the enforcement against these corrupt things, sounds like that is their message.
So Elon Musk comes out and says, I don't think that we should be spending $40 million on gender programs in Ukraine.
And the Democrats are like, stop.
No, we should.
Actually, I got to give a shout out to Freedom Tunes.
Guys, the spoon man is a genius.
Seamus Coughlin of Freedom Tunes put out one of his funniest cartoons ever.
And it's Elon Musk with Doge, and they're in like a USAID office.
And basically, he's going through the list of all of the things they're spending money on.
I'm not going to give away the ending.
I will give away a little bit because I want you to watch it.
Basically, every program they have is like a nursery rhyme.
He's like, why are we spending $40 million on 1,000 cases of smarties for Iraqi slumber parties?
And it's a bunch of stuff like that.
It's absolutely hilarious, and the ending is very, very good.
Bravo to Freedom Tunes.
But yeah, I do have a video of the Democrats being absolutely insane, but I think it's worth repeating what the Democrats actually stand for.
So before I play this clip, which is probably going to make you laugh and cry, let me just stress one more time.
The Democrats are protesting against gutting the fraud in the government.
The theft of your taxpayer dollars.
They're protesting against the law enforcement against criminals who are raping and murdering people.
Yeah.
And they're protesting against Donald Trump saying we shouldn't give children sex changes.
I mean, this is what the Democratic Party favors?
These are the things they want?
Okay, I guess.
Man, look.
I do have other articles pulled up where, you know, they voted in David Hogg for their...
Vice chair of the DNC. And he's like, we're going to get more young people.
And I'm like, wow, the Democrats are really done.
Alex Brusiewicz, who is a strategist, he works with the president, with Donald Trump, said something to the effect of, I can't believe we successfully trolled the DNC into actually putting David Hogg in a position of power.
You know, conspiracy-minded version of me, I'm pretty worried.
Let me tell you.
When you have this many victories, I'm like, Is this what the deep state really wants?
Like, you know, we're worried about single-party rule in this country.
If the Democrats won, you'd get this psychotic, anti-American, weird, crackpot, communist garbage in control of everything.
But because of their crackpot garbage, the Republicans might end up sweeping every election for a decade.
If the Democrats aren't adapting, they're not adapting.
And this is crazy.
We said...
At the election when they lost, we were like, wow, maybe now the Democrats may begin to moderate.
There could potentially, we don't know for sure, maybe they double down.
Seems like that's what they're doing.
But at the time, it's like there's a possibility that Democrats say, hey, we've got to get rid of all this woke garbage.
And you see people like John Fetterman in public messaging trying to play that game.
But then when it actually comes down to it, he votes for far-left garbage.
They can't help themselves.
They are addicted to whatever this is.
I hope you're ready for whatever...
Uh-oh.
What just happened?
I hope you're ready for whatever this is.
unidentified
I'll tell you.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Not that one.
unidentified
Oh, no.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
I'm sorry, everybody.
I'm sorry you have to listen to this, but I'm going to keep playing it.
unidentified
We'll fight from dawn to dusk.
Oh, which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
jimmy kimmel ▲ ● ▼
Holy crap.
unidentified
Which side are you on?
Tell me.
Look at this lady down here at the bottom left.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
She's like rocking back and forth.
She's getting into it.
Okay, I'm sorry.
This is two minutes long.
Can we skip ahead?
It's still going.
Oh, man.
You know, I wonder what history is going to write about all of this.
I mean, I'm going to slow down a little bit.
Let's get serious.
50 years from now, when the schools are playing these videos and showing kids, like, this is what happened in 2025. I'll be a very old man.
I'll be like, I was there.
And I genuinely wonder what they're going to say to kids about this era.
Where in this video, this is Timcast News, by the way, follow us on X at Timcast News.
He wants us to bow to him, but we want him in jail.
Democrats are now writing and performing songs to protest Doge, Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
First of all, What Side Are You On is a longstanding leftist, liberal, progressive, whatever protest song.
And I got to be honest, it doesn't work when you are this cringe, right?
The idea of the song What Side Are You On?
Was supposed to be singing a song when you were behind a popular narrative.
So I gotta be honest.
When I hear them singing, which side are you on, and it's this, I'll be like, I don't know what side you are, but I'm on whatever side you're not.
Okay, I'm gonna be a little mean.
This is a bunch of, like, it's a bunch of boomers.
Okay, I'm not blaming all boomers.
I know, boomers, you're listening.
We love you.
You made Star Trek The Next Generation.
The greatest thing ever.
Voyager was okay.
But...
These people, these are your, like, liberal family members who can't absorb real information.
And so they sit here singing.
It is cringe.
And what's going to happen?
So, you know, who am I, huh?
This Tim Pool guy wearing a beanie and a hoodie?
Skateboarding like some kind of rep scallion?
Well, there is something to it, I guess, in that, look, man, I'm just going to do my thing.
You know, the question is, what does it mean to be cool?
You know, cool.
It's funny that we use that word.
It means cold.
And you were chill, right?
You were relaxed.
You were confident.
You weren't agitated and shaking.
And that was cool, man.
unidentified
He's cool.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Why do young people want to be cool?
It's a positive attribute.
It means, or what can we say?
You got the riz.
That's what the young people say these days.
But let's think about what young people are trying to do.
What are they trying to accomplish?
Young people want to fit in.
They want to be involved.
They have a fear of missing out.
So I'm going to throw out to the Democrats, thank you so much.
Please keep doing this.
Why?
Because right now we have a young, impressionable generation, and young people are trying to figure out how to navigate this world, succeed.
So here I am.
I'm going to be 39 in one month.
And I've thought about, when I was younger, what motivated me and why I did the things that I did.
And I thought about where I am today and how the things that I do are actually quite different.
39, think about that.
Middle-aged, it awaits.
You know, a lot of people have said, no, Tim, you're not middle-aged yet.
You have a couple more years.
And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it.
But I may not be at the top of the hill, but, you know, I'm getting there, right?
Come on, I'm almost 40. It's an old man.
Not really, you know, but middle-aged.
When I was younger...
It was adventure.
It was drive.
I was bouncing around the country, eventually bouncing around the world, seeking out blood and treasure, as the saying goes.
Not literally, but it means success.
It means prize.
It means advancement.
And these days, I'm in the same place.
I'm in the same place.
I thought about how we motivate a younger generation to embody merits, responsibility, the drive for progress, and all of these things.
And what do I see?
The Democrats are not something you want to be.
They lose.
They don't have access to wealth, fame, money, blood and treasure, as we used to say.
They just lose and they lie.
So here's the simple form of things.
When it comes to politics, we're largely looking at a rudimentary concept of what conveys emotion.
Nothing too complex.
For a show like this, maybe it's a bit too esoteric for the average person, and I don't mean any disrespect, but we get into the nitty-gritty of things that sometimes are, you know, you have to be really involved to understand what you're watching.
I imagine if the average person tuned into the show, they'd look at this and be like, I don't even know what the picture of.
And so that's why people like Barstool Sports, for instance.
I'm a big fan, actually.
Dave's Pizza Reviews, the simplest form of content.
It's really good.
He's a funny guy.
It's entertaining.
And I love watching pizza.
Man, you really get at the raw human emotion with that stuff.
So I digress.
For a young person who's 15 years old, they don't care about politics.
Some do, but very few.
As they're getting older and starting to take on responsibility, and they have to pay their own bills, and they're wondering why health insurance is so high, why eggs are too expensive, and why they're struggling to live and be an adult.
You have in the earliest form a young person looking at what is simple.
Are they cool?
What does that mean?
Do people look up to them?
Do they succeed?
Do you want to replicate what they're doing?
When young people look at what Democrats are today, I don't believe there is going to be a 15 year old who sees this photo and thinks one day I want to be Chuck Schumer.
But then I throw it to Elon Musk, who's standing there with the dark MAGA hat on, dressed.
Down a little bit.
Not like bad, but he's not wearing a suit or anything.
He's the richest guy in the world.
He goes to you.
He's planning to go to Mars.
He builds spaceships.
He catches spaceships.
And I'm like, you know, Elon Musk, I would not describe necessarily as the coolest guy in the room.
But let's be real.
If we were going to do a cool factor, meaning like, do you inspire confidence?
Do people look up to you?
Elon's up there.
We wouldn't put him in the cool category of celebrity rock star or anything like that, but there's a lot of young people.
Guarantee it.
They look at Elon and they think, man, I wish I could do something.
Maybe I wouldn't act so weird and jump up and down like him.
But imagine being the richest guy in the world, standing next to the billionaire president.
You have just successfully caught, literally as a rocket ship 30 stories tall was coming out, you caught it.
And people are crying at technological marvel.
Elon Musk does inspire confidence.
So I think it's fair to say the understanding of cool, which is more charismatic.
Are you a charismatic leader marching in front of everybody?
You know, Elon, I'm not trying to be mean, Elon, but you're left wanting in some of those departments.
But in terms of capability, success and advancement, he's got it in spades against the Democrats.
So I'm happy to see the Democrats are doing this.
Please, please keep doing it.
Because a younger generation is going to look at what the Democratic Party is and what they represent, and they're going to be like, cringe.
That's the simplest way to put it.
The Democratic Party is cringe, and Elon and Trump are based.
Based does not mean you are the coolest guy wearing like a studded leather jacket riding a motorcycle.
No, it just means that you are basically doing good, and it's accepted, and cringe is, you know what cringe means.
Like, we're embarrassed for you.
But I don't want to leave it there.
Let me show you where Jimmy Kimmel is.
Ah, Jimmy Kimmel.
This one's only 20 seconds long.
Let me ask you.
I want you guys, you can comment this one.
Jimmy Kimmel has complained about basically everything that Trump has ever done.
This is supposed to be the entertaining, successful element the Democrats have.
And, you know, Jimmy Kimmel's not supposed to be a Democrat, but he is.
Late night TV hosts are supposed to just poke fun at the system, but they don't.
Jimmy Kimmel is basically, he's just a Democrat activist.
Okay.
So, when we look at Chuck Schumer and these other Democrats rocking back and forth singing, which side are you on?
And we're all like, yay!
I don't want to be whatever that is.
Some young people might be like, one day I hope to be a comedian famous and on TV. I'm sorry, though.
Although I think it's fair to say Jimmy Kimmel's got substantially more charisma than Chuck Schumer, it's still going to leave us wanting.
Why?
The other problem here is, when you have no message, the only thing you can protest against is success.
And Trump is successful and popular.
So I'm going to ask you now, what do you think Jimmy Kimmel is about to complain about?
I gave you a hint already, but comment.
What do you think Jimmy Kimmel is going to complain about?
If you would have guessed that Trump is doing well and working hard, you'd be right.
No joke.
Jimmy Kimmel did a monologue where he basically said, Trump is working 24-7.
I mean, can you imagine?
Seriously?
Jimmy Kimmel is telling a generation.
Well, he's not talking to that many people.
His ratings are in the gutter.
But he's basically telling his audience, ha ha ha ha, Trump is so dumb, he works?
Wow.
Here's the clip.
jimmy kimmel ▲ ● ▼
It was a busy day for Donald Trump today.
He was on TV from morning until night.
He is, it's like the Jerry Lewis telethon with this guy.
All day.
Reporters in there, he's taking questions, he's having meetings, he's tackling all the most important stuff.
He did the same thing yesterday, all day.
He canceled the penny, he changed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and he finally got tough on paper straws.
It was a busy day for Donald.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Heavens me.
Heavens.
Imagine coming out and being like, could you imagine this guy giving press conferences every day, letting the press know what's going on, signing executive orders, doing what he promised he would do to the point where the American people, when polled, say Trump is keeping his promises and his approval rating is through the roof.
I mean, what a loser!
Jimmy.
Jimmy, it's so hard.
I feel bad for this guy.
Yeah, back to the wrong horse.
You know who else backed the wrong horse is Taylor Swift.
Oh, yeah.
I'm really excited to get into the Taylor Swift story.
We tried to when Milo is here.
But I think, you know, we had Milo on TimCast IRL. The full episode is up on Rumble, of course.
And Milo's very funny.
So when we were filming the Green Room show, which the previous Green Room episodes are on TimCast.com.
All the new stuff is going to be on Rumble Premium.
And we're going to try and move over as many as we can as quickly as we can.
It's a lot of work to move and re-upload everything.
But when Milo was here, I was like, I told my crew, start filming right away.
Because Milo is absolutely a hilarious guy.
He's very funny.
He's witty.
He's got great jokes.
But the thing about Milo on a talk show is that Milo has a lot of ideas to express.
And I mean this with all due respect to Milo.
It doesn't convey itself well in a topical news program as much as it would in a genuine conversation with Milo.
So we wanted to talk about the Democrat response to Taylor Swift getting booed.
And I don't think we got all of it out there.
So I'm going to pull this up because she backed the wrong horse.
Before we do, though, I have the civics polling for the Democratic Party.
I love civics.
They're a great polling agency because they basically have the polls going on forever.
So the Democratic Party ratings.
With 517,745 responses goes back to January of 2015. It's great stuff.
Great stuff.
The Democrats at the start of this were 41% favorable.
You know, we get it.
Even people who like vote Democrat might necessarily like them.
And then you can see these milestones in these dates.
Notably, Biden exits presidential race.
When Biden left, approval for the Democratic Party went up.
And there was this little grace period until Election Day.
Well, not Election Day.
Sorry.
It's what do we have here?
The DNC. When the Democrats unilaterally chose Kamala Harris, their approval rating tanked.
Right now, it is almost at the lowest point it has ever been in civics aggregate.
Now, when you look at the hard polling with the actual hard polls that came out recently.
They have the worst polling they have ever had at 31%.
And you know what?
The Democrats said, I got an idea.
Let's bring David Hogg on because he's popular.
From Politico, why some centrist Dems feared David Hogg could do more harm than good.
I've been having a good time these past couple of weeks, my friends.
I tweeted out that Donald Trump's first month was the best month of my life.
And it had only been a week and a half.
And so I got a variety of responses.
Some people were like, Tim, it's been a week and a half.
Calm down.
My favorite was when someone was like, what has Trump even done to make this the best month of your life?
And my response was, I got married.
I didn't say Trump did anything.
Trump's first month was my best month.
Everything's coming up Milhouse.
Come on.
No, but in all seriousness, Trump has been taking decisive action on immigration.
I absolutely respect it.
People of Chicago, New York, L.A., Martha's Vineyard, have been deeply upset over Joe Biden opening the floodgates and telling illegal immigrants to surge the border, allowing migrant caravans in, and then CBP helping facilitate that.
Trump's turned that around instantly.
Pete Hegseth.
I am so excited for this guy.
Look, I didn't know too much about him.
I'd watched him on Fox and Friends periodically.
Seems like a good dude.
Don't know a lot about him.
I don't immediately just come out and accuse people of being evil right away.
I wouldn't do that for a Democrat, although I don't trust the Democratic Party.
So when he was chosen, I said, the one thing I can tell you, it's really simple.
First, I trust Donald Trump to pick somebody who's going to be loyal.
I trust Trump to pick somebody who's going to oppose the wokeness.
And Hegseth has done just that.
He's a real boots on the ground guy.
And you know what they hated about Hegseth?
Is that he wasn't one of these military industrial complex shills.
He was an actual vet who worked with nonprofits to help veterans.
And I love this.
This video came out the other day where he was in—where was he?
unidentified
Where was he?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
I don't know.
He was doing PT with actual troops.
I love it.
But the best thing is, with Elon Musk's Doge and Pete Hegseth as SecDef, he said, we welcome Elon Musk to come and audit the Pentagon.
And you would not get that with his other military-industrial complex stooges.
So I'm excited for the people Trump has chosen.
So these past three weeks, in all seriousness, they're trying to block Tulsi.
They're trying to block Kash Patel and RFK Jr. I'm done with these games.
Not much I can do but complain on the Internet, but seriously.
They delayed Tulsi Gabber's vote because it snowed a little bit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, come on.
So I believe we're live right now.
But in a half an hour, they're supposed to vote on Tulsi Gabbard.
The Republicans better bring in Tulsi Gabbard.
She is fantastic.
I've been a fan the whole time.
She called out Hillary Clinton, supported Bernie.
I was right there with her because I was for Bernie at the time.
Bernie betrayed all of us.
And where did Tulsi Gabbard end up?
Though I disagree with her endorsement of Biden.
She really tried to help the Democratic Party and keep them from going nuts.
But they went nuts anyway.
I donated to her campaign the maximum because she's the last sane Democrat at the time, I guess.
Not only was she—she was in the National Guard.
I believe she was a major at the time.
I'm not sure what her rank is—was.
But I'm like, I respect it.
I disagree with her on some issues.
But this is the moderate, sane Democrat personality that we need.
Now she's going to be director of national intelligence, and I am all here for it.
And of course, the machine state, the Democrats, are opposing her.
So let's look at what we've got with Donald Trump.
RFK Jr., make America healthy again.
He's my guy.
You know, look, I wasn't going to vote for him for president, though I largely agree with him on so much.
I don't like the weird woke stuff he tried playing early on.
He's a Democrat.
I love protecting the environment.
I really, really do.
I love the outdoors.
I think we must be good stewards of the earth.
I don't think Democrats are.
I think they're lying.
I actually think when Republicans say, drill, baby, drill, they're better stewards of the earth than the Democrats really are.
So I respect RFK Jr. on the Maha stuff.
Probably one of the most important issues to me is the health issue.
The garbage in our foods, the chemicals, the dyes, the sugar, all of the nasty garbage.
I am sick to my stomach seeing these stories about people who take drugs to try to lose weight.
They're blocking him.
Kash Patel.
Did Kash Patel say abolish the FBI? No.
He said, let's get the FBI to go solve crimes and to do their job as law enforcement.
Ask cops.
They're cops.
Go solve crimes.
You've got a lot of anarchist, libertarian types who are saying abolish the FBI outright.
Cash is moderate.
He's saying, have them do the work they're supposed to be doing.
I respect that.
He's been absolutely fantastic.
Plus, his confirmation hearing was masterful.
That dude, he knows how to do his job.
So I'm looking at everything Trump is bringing to the table, and it is absolutely fantastic.
So in all seriousness, let me say it like this.
The first three weeks of the Trump administration have been the best, has been the best.
I have ever seen any president do in my lifetime.
He has exceeded my expectations.
I thought he was going to be marginally good because of what he did in his first term with Bolton and Pompeo and things like that.
Trump came in this time around and said the times they are a changing and we are getting excellent, excellent presidential action.
Don't get me wrong.
These judges are trying to block him, but I don't blame Trump for what the deep state is going to try to resist.
I respect the moves he's making, and I'm a big fan of Elon Musk.
I'm going to say this, my friends.
Elon Musk is a guy who, let's be real, is worthy of deep criticism.
Elon, I hope you hear it.
There's a lot of things to criticize you for.
But I'll tell you this.
No one is doing more important work than Elon Musk.
And I don't care if Democrats are going to try and claim like, oh, you're sucking on his boots, man.
You're a loser.
You're licking his feet, blah, blah, blah.
Let me just tell you.
Mars colonization.
Deeply important.
Some of the most important work being done for this planet and for human civilization is reusable rockets and human space exploration.
Asteroid mining, Mars and moon colonization, moon bases.
What is the Artemis project?
These are the things that they're going to do two things.
Make sure humanity can't go extinct in the event of a catastrophe on Earth.
OK, making us multi-planetary in any way means we are extinction proof.
Not literally, but you get my point.
It makes our species resilient.
I respect it.
But here's the reality.
The research being done by Elon Musk because he wants to go to Mars is going to create a net benefit in every other technological field.
Technologies are being developed, which will be used in other places.
A lot of people may not know this, but the original space race, the Apollo missions, required the development of technologies that ultimately benefited us across the board.
They had to create and develop tons of things.
I'm not going to get specific, but I think a lot of different plastic variations that we use, though I'm not a fan of it, it's used in food.
Plastics really did revolutionize things to a great degree.
Go to an antique store.
Everything was metal or glass.
With plastics, I do take issue with how all of our food is in plastic.
It leaches in and it causes us problems.
But we've been able to develop lightweight, cheap and effective translucent materials and hard materials for various use, making products cheaper and more easily attained and shared and develop new technologies.
Plastics have been absolutely wonderful to a certain degree.
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Elon Musk, I believe, as a single individual, is doing more important work than basically anybody else.
That's not to say there's not important work being done by anybody else.
But you combine the scientific efforts with the gutting of the waste, fraud and abuse in our government.
And I am deeply inspired.
And I think Elon's doing great.
Does that mean he's perfect?
No, there are people who are censored on X who probably shouldn't be, but I understand the guy's trying to navigate the realities of the real world, and I wish it were so simple.
It's not really, but I respect the work that he's doing.
I digress.
Let me just say, simply put, Trump, as the leader of this movement, is the best president of my lifetime.
And he was already, when I interviewed him, I explained this.
I was like, the foreign policy stuff you were doing?
Now I'm looking at the first three weeks in, and I have never been more optimistic, more hopeful, not just at the efforts of Donald Trump, but at the failures of the Democratic Party that I have to wonder if it's on purpose.
Politico reporting that centrist Dems fear David Hogg could do more harm than good.
He already did.
Listen, I beg.
I beg.
For a moderate Democrat party that is sane and honest, it doesn't exist.
And I don't know when it will exist.
And I certainly ain't going to fight for it.
You lost RFK Jr. You lost Tulsi Gabbard.
Good luck.
You think David Hogg's going to bring you back to life?
That dude is going to burn the DNC down.
In fact, it's so insane.
I have to wonder if David Hogg is secretly a Republican.
They say the fallout is quickly becoming a headache for Democrats.
Oh, boy.
David Hogg became the latest foil for Republicans when the young activist, with a flair for far-left rhetoric, was elected vice-chair of the DNC. The fallout is quickly becoming a headache for Democrats.
Long a backwater in party politics, the vice-chair, an office that typically comes with little public attention, has become the focus of a barrage of stinging headlines from the right in recent days over Hogg's previous calls for abolishing ICE and defunding police.
I'm here for it, baby!
Thank you, David.
I appreciate it.
It's time I told you the truth.
David Hogg is one of ours.
He's been a Republican the whole time.
And he's infiltrated the Democrats to destroy their public image.
I'm kidding.
But you could believe it, right?
The dude is so miserably bad for Democrats, and any sane person would know that.
So you have to wonder if this was not just intentionally done, as it were.
They're going to say the most worrying—here's a quote.
The most worrying thing is if he carries into this new job his belief that saying what he is saying but louder is the way to prevail in red states, said Matt Bennett, co-founder of the center-left group Third Way, because it isn't.
If he believes that it is, that's going to be a real problem for our candidates in those places.
I like the idea of Democratic Party reform, so I'd like to give a shout-out to groups like Third Way or whatever.
Although I think there's some overlap, like the Third Way.
Someone said something before, I could be totally wrong, that it was another euphemism for fascistic, like authoritarian, nationalistic policy.
Anyway, I digress.
I think what they're trying to say is that you can be a moderate liberal type without being a stupid Democrat.
I just don't think you're going to salvage this, guys.
I just don't think so.
You need to be targeting people like me, people that desperately want a sane, rational Democrat party, because look.
Charlie Kirk's Republican through and through is always going to be.
I stand alongside him.
I sit with him at TPUSA and we interview him and praise the work that he's doing because the Democrats are insane.
Imagine if I could sit down with Charlie Kirk and say, well, you know, we have a Democrat who doesn't want mass abortion for literally any reason at any point in birth.
We have Democrats who don't believe in open borders.
Imagine if I could sit down with him and talk about that stuff.
The reality is we don't have that.
We have Republicans who are moderate, Republicans who are staunch conservatives, and we have Democrats who have lost the plot.
That's where we are.
But I cannot ignore this story.
And we've got about 10 minutes before we go to your chats and read some comments from you guys.
So get your chats in now.
Smash the like button, of course.
Check out our Green Room show.
I just want to pause real quick.
The Green Room show is so amazing.
I'm super excited for it.
Because it's much sillier and much more raw and real conversations.
We've had some great conversations.
Some disgusting ones with Milo.
But check out the story from Glamour.
Why Taylor Swift getting booed at the Super Bowl was even more chilling than you think.
Oh my.
They can't learn, can they?
They can't learn, can they?
Do you think there's a 17-year-old man right now?
I know, okay, I'm not going to call a 17-year-old a boy, right?
They're on the cusp of the age of majority where they will be voting.
And so I expect each and every one of these young men, we'll call them young men, 17, okay?
They are going to be voting in the midterms.
They will be voting in the next election.
They are entering the age of majority where work and politics are starting to play an outsized role in their lives.
And they're going to look at this and they're going to be like, you people are weird losers.
Taylor Swift got booed.
Grow up.
Chilling.
Oh, wait till you read this.
Since Donald Trump took us from glamour, since Donald Trump took office, there have been several times I felt chilled by the rapid increase in misogyny seeping in our culture.
But watching Taylor Swift at Super Bowl 59 getting booed by a crowd of thousands on Sunday night was a new low.
It was just a football game, people might say.
Or Swift, who is famously dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelsey, got heckled by some rowdy Eagles fans excited to be at the biggest sporting event of the year.
So, don't take it so seriously.
But I was there at the game.
When Swift's face appeared on the Jumbotron, an almost instant and distinctly male descent erupted around me.
Swift, of course, was there to support her boyfriend and was far from the only celebrity in attendance.
In fact, the screen showed a new famous person, McCartney and Hathaway Lady Gaga, nearly every time there was a break into play when virtually no response from the crowd.
Swift was different.
As soon as she appeared on screen, the crowd seemed to delight in jeering and heckling her, and the mood shift was palpable.
I watched in real time as Swift alongside her friend, Ice Spice, took in the response, her brow furrowing in confusion and then apparent discomfort.
Looking at the camera, she distinctly said, what is going on?
And girl, same.
Because we were all wondering what the hell was happening.
I can tell you!
She said Kamala Harris was calm and better than Trump.
She made a heavy endorsement, and many others knew they weren't getting involved in that.
But hey, you backed the wrong horse.
Everybody's mad at you about it.
Glamour wants to call it misogyny.
Ain't nobody was booing Anne Hathaway or Ice Spice.
They were booing you, Taylor Swift.
But wait!
There's more from the New York Post.
Travis Kelsey's reaction to Taylor Swift getting booed at Super Bowl 2025 revealed.
Let me just play this.
unidentified
this.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
I know many of you have probably seen it, but it bears repeating.
unidentified
Look at her eyes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
*Cheering* It looks like she said, what is going on?
They're booing you.
They don't like you.
They don't like you, Taylor Swift, for a variety of reasons.
One is, they don't like that she's become a centerpiece of football.
Simply because she's dating a guy in the Chiefs who got obliterated in the Super Bowl, mind you.
Take a look at this.
Travis Kelsey reportedly felt, quote, helpless after his girlfriend Taylor Swift was pelted with booze during the Super Bowl 2025 matchup between Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
On Sunday, the 14-time Grammy winner and 35 years old appeared in the Jumbotron and was booed.
Quote, Travis was aware of Taylor getting booed and he felt helpless seeing the look on her face got to him.
He always protects her and it broke his heart.
He was already having a tough night and the fact the stadium was predominantly Eagles fans didn't help.
Travis knows that this hurt her and anyone can see this.
The insider claimed that many Eagles fans feel that the Fortnite singer is a traitor of sorts, given that she's from Pennsylvania and a former Byrds fan.
A lot of people pointed that out.
They said the booing was from Eagles fans because they feel like she betrayed them.
Yeah, okay, sure, whatever, dude.
Probably, probably, I don't want to dismiss you guys, but I think a lot of it has to do with she represents Kamala Harris.
That's who she chose.
That is the horse that she has backed.
And she's going to get booed because of it.
And that's ultimately where we end up.

The chilling booing of Taylor Swift.

My friends, there is still so much ahead of us.
Can you believe it's only been?
What are we going on?
Two and a half weeks?
Three weeks?
Three weeks.
We're nearing Trump's one-month anniversary.
The first hundred days, they say, will be tremendous.
And it's been amazing.
Trump got a falsely imprisoned guy from Russia returned just the other day.
He's negotiating more peace.
The conversation yesterday we had is this.
And let's break it all down.
In this world, We have enemies.
China certainly wants to see us crushed.
They want to exert influence.
They wanted to take the Panama Canal.
Trump is reversing these things.
The war in Ukraine threatens to destabilize the planet.
Our guest the other night was saying that Russia, we're trying to prevent Russia from making a move on NATO allies.
He's like, we don't want them up against the border of NATO. I'm like, NATO put us up against the border with Russia.
Estonia.
Latvia and...
Is it Lithuania?
Let me...
It's been a while since I went deep into the borders of Eastern Europe.
Forgive me for not being a master of geography.
But it is Estonia and Latvia.
Right, okay.
Lithuania is also on the border with Russia through Kaliningrad.
And actually, let me do this.
Let me pull up the Ukraine battle map.
It's a really great map that shows you exactly what's going on.
And we'll pull this up and take a look at the...
The dimension of war.
What Trump is doing and where we're currently at.
So here we can see the blue is where Ukraine is staging an offensive and the red is what Russia has captured.
So I don't want to get too much into the nitty gritty of Ukraine conflict, but here's Estonia.
Here's Latvia, Lithuania.
You can see Russia is right here.
Did you know that?
That north of Poland and southwest of Lithuania was Kaliningrad, a Russian oblast?
Crazy, right?
It's a piece of Russia that has never.
Broken away.
The arguments from Mark, and with all due respect, he was a nice guy.
I'm not trying to rag on the guy.
Was that if we don't go to war in Ukraine, support the Ukrainians, Russia would be up against our borders.
Estonia and Latvia are NATO countries.
And we did that.
So we're already on Russia's border.
Now, I think we're bringing in Sweden.
We brought in Sweden and Finland.
I don't know.
It's been a while to track this stuff.
I do not believe Russia is going to take Ukraine and then invade Poland.
That seems silly.
In fact, our involvement in the Ukrainian conflict and our pressure on the Ukrainian government to get them to join NATO and the EU exacerbated the conflict with Russia because Russia has a warm water port in Crimea, which is where their Black Sea fleet is located in Sevastopol.
So when the U.S. and NATO started making these moves in Ukraine, Russia said, you want to play ball, we'll play ball.
I don't think Putin's a good guy.
I think he's a bad guy.
And I think for the most part, he's responsible for starting this hot conflict.
That being said.
We should not be involved in the hot conflict.
It's going to put us on the brink of World War III. I look at Donald Trump negotiating peace and trying to bring an end to this war.
Pete Hegseth recently said that a return to Ukraine's original border is very unlikely.
I predicted this.
Not that I'm a smart guy, Ernie.
I'm not saying that.
I'm saying when I look at that battle map, I can see what any average person can see.
And that is, Russia has taken the land bridge to Crimea, and they will not tolerate a Western power that takes Sevastopol from them.
Certainly, they can start building other ports in their exit to the Black Sea, but Crimea has long been their base of operations.
They've got materials there.
They've got data, information, intel, infrastructure, etc.
They ain't walking away from that.
What is likely going to happen in a negotiated peace settlement to end the war with Ukraine and Russia I believe that Russia is going to take the land bridge.
They're going to take the territories they control militarily.
That's Zaporizhia, that's Kherson, that's Mariupol, Luhansk, Donetsk.
They're not giving that up.
That's going to stay.
I don't see that breaking.
Because this is their direct land access to Crimea and the Black Sea.
Previously, they had access to Crimea only through Kerch, the Kerch Strait, and this one physical bridge that had been bombed.
And it's an active conflict.
That is a critical weakness Russia's not going to tolerate.
I don't think they should have the territory.
I don't think they're right for invading.
None of that is the case.
But if there's going to be a peace settlement, that's likely what's going to happen.
I digress, because I don't want to get off on a tangent about Ukraine war.
What I want to say is Donald Trump is negotiating these peace agreements, and he is likely going to create economic stability in the United States.
He's going to create economic strength in the United States.
The tariffs that he is bringing on with steel, let me tell you how the Democrats lie, because they do.
Even Mark, the other day, and again, he's a nice guy.
He's a good guy.
I'm glad he came on, and I'm only calling out these things that I think he was wrong on.
He was right on a lot of things.
I'm not trying to be mean.
But he said the concern with tariffs is that the price will just transfer to the American people, and that is a lie.
Not from him.
I think he's just believing he's incorrect.
But the Democrats in the corporate press, they are lying to you about how tariffs work.
Donald Trump wants tariffs.
OK, let me make it very simple.
He says 25 percent on steel coming into the United States.
And the Democrats say that's just a tax on the American people because the steel manufacturers are going to raise their prices.
OK, they're lying.
Let's erase steel and let's go with widget, a fictional object used in economic arguments.
Let's say that Canada makes widgets and sells them for a dollar apiece to the United States.
Trump says we're going to put a 25% tariff.
The Democrats argue, so all they're going to do is they're going to charge $1.25 for their widget now.
Here's the problem.
You can buy American-made widgets.
They cost $1.10.
So the Canadian cheaper ones, which were competitive in the market, That's why we have them made in Canada or Mexico, is because cheaper labor or whatever.
So let's say Canada is selling widgets for $1.
In America, they're $1.10, because American labor costs more.
Trump says we're putting a tariff on the Canadian widget.
Canada says in order to make the margins make sense, we're going to have to increase the cost per widget by 25% to cover the tariff.
If they do that, they become non-competitive, uncompetitive.
Americans will then say, I ain't spending $1.25 on a widget.
I'll buy the American-made one.
Which is exactly the point.
The market dictates.
Now, only in the scenario where we do not manufacture things will that tariff transfer to the American people.
But the pressure will create a market incentive.
This is protectionism.
If China is making steel and shipping it to the U.S. and they're charging 25% above, one single venture capitalist goes, guys, with that tariff in place, we now can launch.
American steel, it's going to be 7% cheaper than the Chinese-made steel due to the tariffs, creating an economic advantage for American-made steel.
Let's open a factory.
They go to Trump and they say, give us a guarantee that at least for these four years, those tariffs will stand.
And we will build steel mills in factories and produce it here in America.
We'll do it in Michigan.
Where we can hire at a lower rate because the economy is not so good, making us competitive with foreign-made steel.
We can sell at a premium to the American people, funding the creation of American jobs.
That's the game plan.
In reality, when they were threatening sanctions on Colombia, Casper.com, we sell Colombian coffee.
I have no fears, none whatsoever.
In the event they come to us and say, Colombian is going to cost a little bit more money.
I am not going to be able to come out and say, we're going to sell our Columbia now to 25% markup because we wouldn't be competing.
There are already other coffee companies that sell for way more than us and way less.
We try to deliver a quality product that we have tested ourselves, blended ourselves with Casper Coffee.
I'm a big coffee guy.
I love coffee.
My family owned a coffee shop.
We're opening coffee shops.
Not that it's the hardest product in the world.
But I was like, we want to be a premium organic, mostly, coffee company with well-designed product.
We make sure our bags are more expensive.
And this means the product will be a little bit more expensive.
But I know this.
If they put us in a position where we can't afford it and we can't sell the product, that price isn't transferring to you.
You'll just buy coffee from somebody else.
There's so much coffee to buy.
Plus, there's Kona American in Hawaii.
So, my friends.
When they tell you that Trump is going to raise your taxes they're lying.
When they say that Elon is out for himself, they're lying.
To be fair, when they say that Elon is largely targeting regulatory agencies that targeted him, think about what that means for a second.
When Elon said we want free speech and then Biden sent the federal government after his companies to target him, it's not fair to say he's going after the regulators.
It's fair to say that he's saying this was an abuse of government power against someone who was operating legally.
Look at Delaware, for instance.
I am a Tesla shareholder.
I voted for Elon Musk to get his pay package.
I am.
Personally offended that some judge in Delaware said my vote doesn't count.
How dare you?
That is not the way this country is supposed to operate.
Elon Musk started Tesla.
Well, he bought Tesla originally and then built it into what it is today.
He has made it extremely valuable.
I don't have that much stock in the company, but I bought some because I spread it around and I've seen returns that I'm happy with.
I own three Teslas.
Yeah, I know.
Well, you know as it is.
I got cars.
I believe in the work that Elon Musk is doing because he wants to help the environment.
He wants space travel.
He wants technology.
He plays video games.
He believes in free speech to an extent.
None of us are absolutists.
And I ultimately think that he's a good dude.
That's it.
Humans are imperfect.
Elon Musk is going to do things you criticize him for.
But I respect the work that he's doing.
I think it's important.
And I am so pissed that this judge said he can't get paid for the company that he built.
I'm offended by that.
You know what?
Democrats, they're fleeing.
These corporations, they're fleeing.
Good riddance.
This is not the way it's supposed to operate.
I am sick of these scumbag Democrats and their activist judges burning this country to the ground.
Elon Musk is the richest guy in the world.
I don't care.
I'm not jealous.
It's the craziest thing.
I can't imagine what it must be like in the head of a liberal podcaster who's upset they don't get more views than Joe Rogan.
To be fair, we've heard him complain about it.
You know, my mentality has always been, Got a big show, I guess.
Have built it up over time.
Never been the biggest.
We have one of the biggest live streams on YouTube, a couple of them.
I'm even in this stream right now with YouTube.
We've got 30,000 live.
And with Rumble, we have 8,000.
It's a big stream.
It's a big morning show.
I don't look at Dan Bongino, who gets 170,000 and get angry and bang on the table and be like, why does Dan have more?
I go, wow, Dan's really good at this.
He's way better than me.
I can only be better than myself every day.
I can't tomorrow be better than Dan Bongino or Charlie Kirk or Joe Rogan.
They're big dogs, man.
They do great work.
I deeply respect it.
When I, and I think you guys agree with this, when I look to prominent personalities, successful individuals, I don't think, I'm so angry that they're so successful.
Why aren't I successful?
I think, man.
What are they getting right that I'm getting wrong?
And how can I be better than I am tomorrow?
How can I be better than I am tomorrow than I was today?
But I tell you this, these Democrats, not all of them, it didn't used to be, but largely these liberal people, they look at Elon Musk and they bang the table and they say, he's an idiot.
He's a moron.
It's not fair.
I should be rich.
And I'm just like, the way I view the world is we are navigating this algorithm, this maze, these calculations, and we are trying to be better every day than we were yesterday.
Elon Musk figured it out in spades.
I want to find that same route in my industry.
I would love it.
Actually, I've got to be completely honest.
I would not love it if we had the biggest show in the world.
Don't tell it to an investor.
But I genuinely fear, like, you know, Joe got so famous, the dude would give an opinion and it was headline news.
And yeah, money is great, but there are risks that come with that responsibilities.
But largely, my fear is, once you're at the top, there's nowhere left to go.
I enjoy the day-to-day grind.
I enjoy every day trying to be better than I was yesterday.
That's what makes life worth living.
And so the reality is we strive to be the best.
But ultimately my point is this.
There's different ways to view the world.
And ask yourself this question.
Are you someone who looks at who you are today, looks up to other people, finding their success and thinking to yourself, how can I be better?
How can I be as good as they are?
I look to, you know, with Dan Bongino.
Him getting these massive numbers, 170, 190,000 live viewers.
And I can see the comments.
It's legit.
You can see this.
The chat is impossible to follow.
And I'm like, I got to figure out how I can be better so I can be more like him.
And that means maybe it's just that he's got a more broadly appealing opinion.
I can never do that.
I'm going to tell you exactly what I think.
And if it differs from these other big streamers, that's the way it's going to be.
I look at Joe Rogan.
I'm not going to be Joe Rogan.
But I am going to try and figure out how to run my business better than I did yesterday and how to build something meaningful and substantive for all of you so that we provide a service to the community.
Are you that kind of person?
Or are you the kind of person who gets angry and bangs the table saying it's not fair?
Dan shouldn't get these viewers.
It's not fair.
Dave Rubin shouldn't be getting these views.
Are you jealous or are you inspired?
Let's grab some super chats because I only have like two minutes left.
I'm going to be hopping on with Steven Crowder.
I don't know if I'm supposed to say that.
But I'm going to be hanging out in a second.
So I do have to wrap up.
I'll just try and grab a couple of these super chats and some rumble rants.
Restless Medic says, The only people who have a problem with audits are those who have something to hide.
The judges that are blocking this have proved they're not unbiased and should be removed.
Then the demons have nowhere to seek cover from.
Yeah, I really don't think there's a legitimate cause as to why they're trying to stop the audits.
Let's be real.
All right, let's go.
You know, I see someone in the chat said, Tim's super political, that's why it's harder.
No, that's totally true.
This is my passion.
I've looked at the videos that I've done, and I'm like, you know, if I did a video game show, if I commented on culture, probably would be bigger, more mass appeal.
If we did one bite pizza reviews, dude, I gotta mess, I love those pizza review videos.
I know you do too.
That's why it's so popular.
But yeah, we get way more views.
And that's why, and skateboarding is not the most popular, skateboarding is not popular at all.
So, you know, we're getting there.
We want to have our form of, like, easy content for the average person.
But this show is who I am.
It's the things that I care about deeply.
It's politics.
It's cultural stuff.
And so that's the reality.
But in terms of the political space, we have one of the biggest shows.
That's something to be proud of.
I want to be better.
I know you guys do, too.
I'm inspired by the actions and the success of others.
Not jealous of it.
Well, no, to be fair, I'm a little jealous.
Absolutely.
But not in the way where I resent the people who are successful.
The envy isn't always bad.
Greed isn't always bad.
We look at these things and we say they're deadly sins, but I put it this way.
Greed is bad when it's driving you.
Greed and envy are bad when they drive you to destructive ends.
But if you feel within your heart, you see someone successful and you feel, I wish I had what they had.
And your reaction is, I will work harder than I've ever worked and I will succeed.
Right way to do it.
The envy of Democrats is, I will destroy them.
They shouldn't have that.
That's evil.
Greed, the desire and drive to have more, this drive isn't always bad.
Greed represents the evil element of, you take from others, you are destructive to those ends.
But the desire to every day be better and build and create, that drive is good.
There's a dark side and a good side to everything.
Let me make sure I grab at least one of these Rumble rants, if you're watching on Rumble Premium.
And let's see what we got.
CC Thumb says, Tim, congratulations on all of your family news.
Also on the Rumble news.
By the way, I was a legacy Timcast member.
I was able to change over to Rumble Premium in three minutes.
Props to you.
Dude, Rumble, you guys rock.
It's been absolutely fantastic.
Timcast members, legacy members, if you log into Rumble using the same email address, you're instantly premium for free so long as you're a member of Timcast.com.
Rumble's doing great stuff.
I'm really excited for this.
Timcast IRL yesterday has overnight, I believe, around like 40% more views than we normally get by multi-streaming, and we peaked at 72,000 concurrent viewers.
A lot of really great, important stuff is coming.
We are super excited, and you guys are helping make that possible.
We are going to work every day to make this company, the members' content, the Rumble Premium content we're delivering to you, better, bigger, epic.
And with Casper franchising in play, I'm hoping that one day when I die, I will leave behind something that shows, that will inspire the next generations to be honest, to believe in hard work, not to be envious to destructive ends, but to be inspired to do better than you did yesterday.
I know you guys all agree with these ideas, meritocracy, success, and hard work.
When you are successful, You will stand alongside the giants you once envied.
Not as adversaries, but as champions.
So I'll say it once more.
When I look to these bigger podcasters and streamers, and I can feel in my heart, I wish I was as successful as they are.
I'm inspired to work harder.
I'm not hoping they fail.
I'm like, man, I gotta figure out how to do that too.
I know I can be better every day.
You know, maybe it's because I watched Dragon Ball Z as a kid.
No matter what happens, Goku's always getting stronger.
Just stronger and stronger and stronger and skateboarding.
But I know that you guys can be better than you were yesterday.
And I hope that is a component of the story we leave behind.
Maybe in 100 years, maybe in 50 years, there will be 1,000 cast brew coffee locations all across the country and the world.
And the ethos of this business will be to work hard every day to build a better future for those who come after us.
I'm going to wrap it up, my friends.
Thank you all so much for hanging out.
We're going to have more segments coming up.
Go check up on Steven Crowder, because I'll be joining him in a moment.
