tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I remember the good old days, Donald Trump's first term, when basically every day I was making a video titled Democrats Panic.
		Because I want to make sure you understand why I use the phrase panic, because it implies irrationality.
		It is not sounding the alarm.
		It is not expressing fear or disgust.
		It is outright them screeching over nothing.
		OK, so the latest story in which they're accusing Donald Trump of being a despotic authoritarian is that Trump has signed an executive order claiming that the Constitution, which explicitly states the executive power is vested in the president, he signed an executive order saying that.
		And that these independent agencies that Congress tried to establish, which for some reason were outside the purview of the president, are still within the purview of the president.
		Democrats are now saying this is a power grab.
unidentified		He is seizing control.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And they're panicking.
		And the reason is the executive order is actually particularly mundane.
		Trump basically said, OK, so we got the FCC, we got the SEC. The people who run it are appointed by the president, but they're independent and they're supposed to operate.
		But Trump said, no, the Office of Budget Management, give me a report on what they're doing and then report that to me.
		And they're like, God, he's asserting control over these agencies.
		Well, to be fair, Trump did say, look, I'm the president.
		Section two of the Constitution says outright that I have sole executive authority.
		It's actually quite insane to me that for so long, I mean, we had this period of like 70 years where the Constitution was used as toilet paper and powerful institutions ran amok.
		Now, my favorite thing about this is that Trump carved out the Federal Reserve, which is sure, buddy.
		But I'm not freaking out about it.
		Now, on top of this, you've got Trump firing all of the Biden era attorneys based.
		You've got Doge going in and gutting all the bloat and Elon Musk offering up.
		And perhaps this should have been the lead story.
		I don't know.
		Whatever.
		Maybe, because people would click on it more.
		$5,000 refunds to all Americans called the Doge Dividend.
		Meaning, when they start gutting all the bloat from these agencies, that money that normally would go to, say, like, Loudoun County, Virginia, would go to you instead.
		But a humble $5,000.
		Wow, that's pretty crazy.
		Right now, I think they said that they've cleared about $55 billion.
		$55 billion.
		And that's massive.
		That's massive.
		So let's break it down.
		You've got 350 million Americans, of which we're not going to give tax refunds to children.
		So I think that gives us around, I think it's like 200 million working age Americans.
		So that's for every billion dollars, that's five bucks.
		That's five bucks.
		So we're looking at, ah, holy crap.
		What are we looking at, $275?
		I may be Asian, but my math isn't always that fast.
		So far, so good.
		Maybe we'll get that dividend your way.
		But we'll see, my friends.
		There's a lot of news going on with how Democrats are claiming that everything Elon Musk and Trump and the agencies, they're saying it's all illegal.
		But I want to stress that these people, and I got the receipts, I always do.
		These are people who want authoritarian control.
		And I got to be honest.
		They're effectively running Alinsky's rules for radicals.
		Accuse your opponent of what it is, of that which is what you are doing.
		And so they try to claim that Trump is trying to seize power.
		Literally, they seized power.
		Trump is asserting the Constitution states his executive authority.
		They say he's seizing power.
		Yeah, he's seizing it back from the deep state garbage, the post-World War II liberal economic order that sought to undermine this country and create a deep state, a bureaucratic machine.
		I mean, come on.
		In what legal authority does Congress have to make executive departments that the president has no control over?
		Silly.
		Well, the argument is that the courts are going to strike it down, but I'm not so sure.
		I think for the first time we have an actual president acting like what the president is supposed to be.
		The founding fathers understood that you needed an executive to enact, to enforce.
		And he has sole executive authority.
		In fact, he can convene Congress and then send him home.
		He has a lot of power.
		For a long time, presidents have been figureheads, basically just working at the behest of the intelligence agencies in the deep state.
		It's been like this for like 100 years.
		It's gotten worse, but let's see Donald Trump change it all.
		My friends, before we get started, make sure you head over to castbrew.com and pick up some delicious Cast Brew coffee.
		I recommend picking up some two weeks till Christmas, despite the fact it's two months since Christmas.
		But still, Philibonte dressed like Santa Claus with a gingerbread-flavored coffee is quite delicious.
		I'm a big fan.
		And everybody's favorite, Appalachian Nights.
		We got a dark roast, Rise with Roberto Jr., but let's do this.
	We're going to take a deep dive into the ground coffee options.
	Don't forget, Focus with Mr. Bocas.
	We've sold a good amount of this, but we still have 1,848 custom bags of Focus with Mr. Bocas.
	For those who don't know, Mr. Bocas was the original mascot of Timcast because he was simply my cat.
	And he was a street cat who had underdeveloped kidneys.
	And as you need your kidneys to live, so I'm told, he only lived to about five years old.
	We used all technologies available to us to prolong his life.
	And then one day, there was nothing more we can do.
	With underdeveloped kidneys, poor Mr. Bocas, his kidneys were doing double or triple the work of regular kidneys to try and keep him alive.
	And it is quite sad.
	But we created the Focus with Mr. Bocas Espresso Blend in his memory.
	We also have Misty Mountains, a blend of Costa Rican coffees that it's getting rave reviews.
	And look at that bag.
	Look how pretty it is.
	Misty Mountains.
	That was brilliant.
	I didn't come up with that one.
	Appalachian Nights I came up with because I wanted a dark roast and I was like, yo, Appalachian Night, beautiful.
	And it turned out to be a sleeper hit.
	So, of course, Ian's graphene dream.
unidentified		He just sold 300 bags yesterday.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I feel like every time I say...
		Wow, Ian sells coffee so much.
		People are like, I gotta try it.
		I should just say that about everything.
		Wow!
		The Focus with Mr. Bocas is selling so well, I can't believe it.
		Jeez, it's one of our top sellers.
		You should buy that one.
		Shout out to Ian, though.
		Ian said he wanted a low-acidity coffee.
		We did our research.
		We figured out which blends had the lower acidity profiles.
		And we made a delicious flavor.
		And everybody says it's really, really good.
		And Ian sold almost two years' worth based on our normal sales averages.
		And y'all are putting him through college.
		And you know he needs it.

		But now we will go to the news.
		So my friends, smash that like button right now.
		Share the show with everyone you know.
		If everybody who was watching right now shared the link to this video, we'd be the biggest show in the world.
		Isn't that crazy?
		I mean, I gotta be honest.
		I gotta tell you.
		It actually is kind of a crazy thought.
		That it is but a thin line of decentralized power that exists in the audience to choose what is the most influential show in the world.
		And this certainly is not.
		This show is not.
		And so I've thought about it quite a bit.
		I was like, if we got, you know, like the other day we had 30,000, 33,000 concurrent viewers and we had like 8,500 on Rumble.
		And I'm like, man, if we had 41,000 people all at once just tweet the video out.
		They used to call that a thunderclap.
		There was an app where everybody would sign up and schedule a tweet at the exact same time.
		And if 40,000 tweets went out the exact same time, it became the number one worldwide trend.
		And it's kind of crazy to think about.
		But in all seriousness, in all honesty, you don't have to do anything for me.
		You owe me no favors.
		I am here.
		I make a living doing this thing.
		I enjoy it.
		I appreciate that you guys watch.
		And so thank you so much.
		I really do mean it.
		It is a dream come true to be able to do this job where I complain and make jokes and insult people on the internet.
		Although I try to keep the insults to a minimum, some people are evil and they deserve it.
		Anyway, here's the news.
		Y'all, I'm having a good day.
		I'm having a very good month, mind you.
		Aside from the fact that Donald Trump is steamrolling the deep state, and it feels like we, for once in my lifetime, have a president.
		I got married.
		You know, so it's been particularly good for me.
		I hope y'all are having a good month too.
		I saw one of the chats when I started the stream.
		They said, I'm having so much fun.
		I'm so happy he got elected.
		I'm right there with you, buddy.
		From Politico, Trump signs order to claim power over independent agencies.
		The action is likely to face court challenges and test a once-fringed legal theory.
	I just don't understand this.
	The Constitution says he has full executive authority.
	Why would he need to sign an order asserting what is already in the Constitution?
	Okay, Politico, take us on.
	What's going on?
	President Trump on Tuesday signed a sweeping executive order bringing independent agencies under the control of the White House, an action that would greatly expand his power but is likely to attract significant legal challenges.
	It represents Trump's latest attempt to consolidate power beyond boundaries other presidents have observed.
	Yeah, well, those presidents were dumb.
	And to test the so-called unitary executive theory, which states the president has the sole authority over the executive branch.
	It's in the Constitution!
	You know, look, every day we always talk about the amendments, you know, but the Constitution had stuff in it before we amended it, and it tells us how the country is supposed to be run.
	All right.
	It reflects the influence of Russ Faut, Trump's budget chief, one of several conservatives in his orbit, who have called for axing independent arms of the executive branch.
	The theory was long considered fringe, and many mainstream legal scholars still believe it is illegal.
	Yeah, well, those people are stupid.
	Given that Congress said that the agency specifically to act independently, which they never had the authority to do, mind you, but sure, continue, or semi-independently from the president.
	These include the Federal Communications Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which enact regulations and can impose hefty fines on businesses that violate the rules.
	I would just like to stress when...
	OK, you know, maybe the Supreme Court issued a rule.
	That's fine.
	But my argument is going to be the Constitution has not been amended as to take away the executive authority of the president nor grant Congress the ability to set up external executive authorities.
	It's an absurdity.
	Other presidents have not only declined to challenge the independence of these agencies in court, but have in many cases tried to avoid even the appearance of interference in their actions.
	Many leaders appointed to the agency serve terms that last longer than a single presidency.
	We call that the deep state!
	That's the problem!
	They shouldn't!
	In an effort to help shield them from political pressure?
	No!
	No, no, no, no!
	This is not democracy.
	That people would serve in these administrations beyond the single term of president, unelected?
	No, I say.
	No, no, no.
	The order would take that independence away by granting Vought, who reports to Trump supervising power.
	Thank you.
	Yes, please.
	This is what Trump is doing.
	Trump is gutting the deep state.
	That's what we elected him for.
	And, you know, I think you're gonna be hard-pressed to find an average American who's gonna be like, I'm actually in favor of unelected bureaucrats taking my money for gender studies in Pakistan.
	Don't get me wrong, a lot of these Democrats are gonna agree with whatever the Democratic Party says.
	The executive order requires Vought, as the director of the Office of Management and Budget, to establish performance standards and management objectives for the heads of independent agencies and report periodically to the president on their performance and efficiency in attaining such standards and objectives.
	It also requires Vought to review and make changes to the agency's budgets as necessary and appropriate to advance the president's policies and priorities.
	For the federal government to be truly accountable to the American people, officials who wield vast executive power must be supervised and controlled by the people's elected president.
	Hear, hear, I say, hear, hear, good sir.
	While the executive order is to be in nature and represents a fundamental reshaping of the federal government, it is effectively codified, codifies the actions of the Trump administration has already been taking.
	He codifies the actions Trump has already been taking.
	Setting up the administration's legal position in an expected court fight.
	Trump has, for instance, already fired Gwynne Wilcox, former chair of the National Labor Relations Board, the NLRB's general counsel.
	Jennifer Abruzzo, the Office of Government and Ethics Director David Huitema.
	Wilcox has filed a lawsuit contesting her dismissal.
	Cry more.
	And Vought, almost immediately upon taking office, assumed the title of acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, another independent agency halting further funding to the agency and firing its employees en masse.
	This is called Trump's march to the sea on the deep state.
	This is scorched earth administrative warfare, and I say, hear, hear.
	Bring it on, baby.
	They say, but the order has broad and potentially immediate implications for a host of other independent agencies that have not yet been penetrated by the administration.
	And while it doesn't apply to the Federal Reserve's handling of monetary policy, it does apply to the Fed's other responsibilities, including overseeing banks and other financial institutions.
	Independent agencies often find themselves in the political crosshairs, either because they take actions that appear to align or conflict with the sitting president's agenda.
	Those include the SEC's efforts during the Biden era to force companies to disclose the risks they face from climate change.
	As well as the FCC's more recent actions to investigate companies such as CBS for alleged bias.
	Alleged?
	That's interesting.
	CBS put out the raw video.
	They edited the answers from Kamala Harris.
	Under the order, independent agencies must appoint White House liaisons and regularly consult with and coordinate policies and priorities with not only Vought's office, but with the White House Domestic Policy Council and National Economic Council.
	It also neuters the agency's attorneys by asserting that no employee of the executive branch acting in their official capacity may advance an interpretation of the law as the position of the United States that contravenes the president or the attorney general's opinion on a matter of law.
	Trump has made Trump had made less dramatic intrusions into independent agencies during his first term, including by pressuring both the FTC and FCC to punish social media networks, accused of censoring conservatives, including himself, which they were doing.
	And we all know they were doing.
	They were caught doing and have apologized for doing.
	Zuckerberg, of course, coming up and like, we got that one wrong.
	Sure.
	In one episode that made headlines, Trump met with then FTC chair Joseph Simmons in the White House and pushed him to take action on the censorship allegations.
	As Politico reported in August 2020, Simmons had told lawmakers he considered the matter outside the agency's jurisdiction.
	Trump also stunned lawmakers that year by withdrawing the renomination of Republican FCC member Michael O'Reilly, who had expressed skepticism about using his agency's powers to penalize online platforms for alleged ideological bias.
	Quote, I shudder to think of a day in which the fairness doctrine could be reincarnated for the Internet, especially at the ironic behest of so-called free speech defenders.
	O'Reilly said in a speech a few days before Trump pulled the plug on him.
	No, I reject these arguments, my friends, where they say, heavens be, we can't use power because maybe they'll use that power against us.
	They're using it against you already.
	OK, so we sit back and let evil people do evil things or we say we wield power when we win it.
	If the pendulum swings, we reject the corrupt implementations they try to bring about.
	It's actually not that complicated.
	You know, Barry Weiss is getting some flack.
	I'm going to have a segment on Friday about it where she's basically saying there's a new element to the right that wants to wield power or whatever.
	And it's, you know, I don't completely disagree with everything she says, but I largely do.
	This idea...
	That you can't wield power as an honorable individual in this nation is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
	We wield power as to our moral traditions and worldview.
	And when our political rivals wield the same power, what ends up, historically, our political rivals wield the power and they bash us over the head, right?
	Then the Republicans win power and go, well, you know, we better not do that because they'll do it.
	They did it to you last time and they're doing it to you now.
	So what we do is.
	We use the power we have and say, you are evil.
	Please stop.
	Okay?
	And then if at another point they gain those powers and they use them as they see fit, we say, the use of the powers as you are doing defies our moral structures and worldview.
	You are evil.
	Please stop.
	It's that simple.
	We as a community have to have moral boundaries and a worldview on how we implement laws, though we may disagree from time to time.
	And we simply say, we wield power.
	I don't understand what's wrong with this.
	Democrats do it.
	It's their M.O. And then Republicans are like, slow down, Democrats.
	Well, I don't like the Republican Party either, but you get the point.
	All right.
	Well, let's take a deep dive into where we're currently at with the Democrats and the liberal progressives and such and such.
	Here you go from Common Dreams.
	In profoundly dangerous power grab, Trump moves to seize control of independent agencies.
	Americans should understand exactly what this is, a giant gift to the corporate class.
	And a Trumpian power grab.
	What are you talking about?
	I mean, these people are catastrophizing everything.
	They're like, oh, Donald Trump says that the Constitution gives him control of executive agencies.
	Oh, it's the end of the world.
	Huh?
	Bro, you don't even know how this affects your life.
	You're making up things about this.
	Who was it who just recently was on a podcast?
	It's like, most of this stuff doesn't even impact people and they're freaking out like the world is ending.
	It's like, yeah.
	The DEI stuff affected us.
	I mean, like, planes are falling out of the sky.
	But that's up for debate, I guess.
	Here's common dreams, okay?
	U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order aimed at bringing the nation's independent agencies, including, we know, you know, under his control, the new order, blah, blah, blah.
	The order requires this we know.
	They say in a fact sheet released alongside the order, the White House specifically names the FTC, SEC, and FCC. We get it.
	We get it.
	This is a profoundly dangerous idea for the nation's health, safety, environment, and economy, and for our democracy, he added.
	Congress made independent agencies independent of the White House for good reason.
	So how is it democracy if the American people can't vote those things away?
	Let's try again.
	You have independent agencies, and we as the American people would like to discuss.
	We have hereby elected a man.
	Please get these institutions under control.
	And the Democrats go, no, your votes are meaningless.
	When you elect someone, they have no power to make the changes.
	That's democracy.
	I'm just sitting here like, that's not democracy, that's bureaucracy.
	Elon Musk made the point the other night on Hannity.
	He said, if the will of the people is that Donald Trump come in and enact these policies, and he is being barred from doing so, then we don't have a democracy.
	We have a bureaucracy.
	Does that make sense?
	I'm paraphrasing.
	And then all these Democrats are like, wow, this man is so dumb.
	It's like, no.
	Trump goes, If you vote for me, I'll go in and shut him down.
	And we are like, yes, please, please do that.
	And now Democrats are saying you're not allowed to.
	So who is allowed to rein in these federal agencies under the executive branch if not the president?
	Who?
	Apparently no one.
	Well, the president can appoint people.
	Congress confirms them, but they're independent, do whatever they want.
	And the people who run it, well, they run these agencies over multiple terms.
unidentified		Politicking.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's what the Supreme Court is for.
		The Supreme Court have lifetime.
		The Supreme Court justices get lifetime appointments because then it's not political because the judges are supposed to interpret the law.
		That I get.
		But the president is political.
		We vote for him to enact change and control the executive branch.
		But these people are losing their minds.
		Trump's executive order would dissolve that independence and put the agency under Trump's thumb, ensuring they turn a blind eye to wrongdoing by favored corporations.
		They're accusing.
		Us and Trump of doing that which they do.
		It's really that simple.
		How about we try this?
		Trump's executive order would dissolve that independence and put the agencies under Trump's thumb, ensuring that no one turns a blind eye to wrongdoing to enact policies favoring certain corporations and hurting the consumers and investors.
		I could say that, right?
		What's the difference?
		Moral interpretation?
		Emotional interpretation?
		The way I see it.
		These institutions, these entities, have largely been favoring the deep state, the bureaucratic state themselves, and the money that funnels into their pockets.
		Trump gaining control of it is the first opportunity we've had in a long time to rein them in.
		And boy, are they crying about it.
		Here's my favorite.
		Here's my favorite.
		The Free Press.
		Ah, Tim Carr.
		Tim Carr.
		Freepress.net.
		Not to be confused with The Free Press, Barry Weiss's organization.
		Freepress.net is a nonprofit that doesn't believe in the free press.
		I love it.
		I know Tim Carr.
		I've met him a long time ago.
		He says, latest Trump power grab aims to destroy independent agencies.
		Oh, no.
		They put out a press release.
		The Free Press.
		You guys want to see a joke?
		You want to see a joke?
		You're going to love this one.
		The Free Press writes, late Tuesday, the White House released a fact sheet about a forthcoming executive order.
		We get it.
		According to it, the executive order will force independent agencies to submit all proposed regulations for White House review.
		Free Press CEO, co-CEO, Craig Aaron said, this is what an unconstitutional power grab looks like.
		We urge Congress and reviewing courts to reject this outlandish attack on independent agencies.
		That's right, says the Free Press, who believes in a free press and wrote this article in 2019, Free Press vs.
		Hate.
		Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is so racist, homophobic, and xenophobic that Apple, Facebook, Spotify, Twitter, and YouTube banned him and his show Infowars from their sites in 2018. But now he's returned to Facebook with multiple new pages, and the social media giant has allowed him to resume profiting off his lies.
		This week, Free Press launched a petition calling on Facebook to ban Alex Jones.
		Heavens me!
		The Free Press calling for Infowars to be banned?
		That doesn't sound like Free Press at all.
		These people are despicable hypocrites.
		They are evil, evil people.
		First of all, I know Alex Jones.
		He is not racist in the least bit.
		He is not homophobic, nor is he xenophobic.
		That's ridiculous.
		Alex Jones, if anything, is actually much more of an anti-establishment libertarian type.
		Certainly he's got his conspiracy theories.
		I know a lot of people are like, hold on.
		He went on Alex Jones and talked about cell phone towers and animal hybrids.
unidentified		Come on.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Not everything he says is law, but he gets a lot of things right.
		Famously, he he predicted the Russian invasion of Ukraine and everybody was like, how did he know?
		A video went viral of him saying they're going to do it.
		They're going to do it in February.
		And everybody was like, how did he know?
		Well, I happen to know Alex Jones.
		And I said, Alex, tell me your secrets.
		He's like, well, I just read the news.
		It was the funniest thing ever.
		Alex was like, dude, all I do is read the news and then I report these things.
		This is what the media was lying about.
		This is what free press is lying about.
		Alex Jones's reporting is largely just aggregate general reporting.
		They have their reporters, and then he reads the news.
		And what he said to me was, when you looked at the reports from, like, the AP, the Guardian, the New York Times, they were saying things like fears of a spring offensive from Russia, Russia amassing troops.
		All you do is you read these stories, and then you go, guys, if you read this, it looks like they're saying, like, we got a high probability of an invasion by Russia into Ukraine in the spring.
		When it happened, they're like, Alex called it.
		And Alex was like, I just read it.
		They called him a conspiracy theorist for doing these things.
		And they insult Trump for much the same.
		Donald Trump comes out and he's like, did you see that report in the news about how they've got disinfectants?
		You know, they're using UV light.
		Maybe we could do something like that to disinfect maybe something under the skin.
		I'm not sure.
		What do you think?
		And then the media was like.
		Trump calls for drinking bleach or ingesting it, which he never did.
		It's an absurdity.
		Trump will read the news, come out the next day and be like, I saw this in the news.
		It's very interesting.
		And then they'll come out and be like, Trump's lying.
		Oh, the most famous one, of course, was last night in Sweden.
		Trump watched a news report on Fox News from Ami Horowitz where he was like, Sweden's got issues.
		The refugees and the Somali migrants from...
		30 years ago have resulted in integration issues and violence.
		And then Trump at a rally says, you see what happened last night in Sweden?
		You know, they got this report.
		And then the media said nothing happened last night in Sweden.
		Trump's an idiot.
		And it's like Trump was talking about he miss he misspoke.
		He says, did you see what happened on the news last night about what's going on in Sweden?
		It was that simple.
		And the people who know Trump and support him understood the general context.
		But here we are.
		Like, I'm going to take the complaints from Free Press.
		I love, love, love the paradox here.
		It's just so beautiful.
		Free Press, I would just like to stress, y'all are evil.
		You are evil, deeply evil people for lying about Alex Jones to get him banned.
		Scumbaggery.
		How much you want to bet groups like this receive USAID funding somewhere?
		And that's why they're really freaking out.
		The bottom line, free press does not condone government censorship.
		The Change the Terms campaign in our call to ban Alex Jones has nothing to do with government restrictions on free speech, which is what the First Amendment prohibits.
unidentified		Oh, I love this.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's go to the free press right here where they're like, Trump's going to favor corporations or whatever.
		Yeah, this is what the argument is.
		OK, so it wasn't them who said that it was common dreams.
		So the free press.
		Calls for corporate unilateral authority to censor and shut down anybody because they don't like the opinions.
		Talk about a free press.
		Interesting, huh?
		Well, here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
		Let's break this down.
		Trump is right.
		Come at me, bro.
		You are wrong.
		The White House releases this fact sheet.
		President Donald J. Trump reigns in independent agencies to restore government answers to the American people.
		Agreed.
		Restoring democracy and accountability in government.
		Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order ensuring that all federal agencies are accountable to the American people as required by the Constitution.
		Under this executive order, the order notes that Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution vests all executive power in the president, meaning that all executive branch officials and employees are subject to his supervision.
		Indeed, they are.
		Therefore, because all executive power is vested in the president, all agencies must, one, submit draft regulations.
		We get it.
		We get it.
		Consult with White House on their priorities.
		The OMB will adjust so-called independent agencies apportionments to ensure tax dollars are spent wisely.
		The president and attorney general, subject to the president's supervision and control, will interpret the law for the executive branch.
		Reigning independent agencies, these agencies issues rules and regulations that cost billions of dollars and implicate some of the most controversial policy matters, and they do so without the review of the democratically elected president.
		They also spend American tax dollars and set priorities without consulting the president while setting their own performance standards.
		Now they will—let me just simplify this all for you.
		A bunch of employees with no oversight.
		They've got—well, I think Elon Musk pointed out there's six million credit cards, but three million employees.
		So, like, on average, each employee has two government credit cards.
		These people, without accountability, are buying $500 staplers.
		Have you seen this stuff?
		Like, when—like a $500 hammer?
		You look at the expenditures, and it's like, wait, hold on.
		They bought a power drill for $10,000?
		And why—yep.
		Because when the government spends the money, it's yours, and they don't care.
		Trump is basically saying we're putting an end to this.
		But you know what, my friends?
		Don't take it from me.
		Take it directly from the Constitution of the United States.
		Article 2, Section 1. It's really simple.
		The executive power shall be vested in a president of the United States of America.
		He shall hold his office during the term of four years and, together with the vice president chosen for the same term, be elected as follows.
		That's it.
		That's what it says.
		The executive power is vested in the president.
		OK, so how then does Congress determine that they can create executive branches outside the purview of where the executive power is vested?
		I don't understand.
		Hey, don't look at me.
		I'm not a constitutional scholar.
		I'm just some guy on the Internet.
		OK, wearing a beanie.
		Now, maybe there was a Supreme Court interpretation.
		I'd argue it's wrong.
		At some point, Congress said, we hereby assert the authority to create executive branches, or I'm sorry, executive agencies, where nobody has the power.
		What?
		How do you do that?
		How does Congress assert, have they amended the Constitution?
		No.
		As far as I know, there's no amendment to the Constitution that states the executive power shall not be vested in the president, or shall only be limited, in which case, by what argument are they claiming Trump is wrong?
		The reality is.
		Groups like the Free Press, these non-profits, I'm not saying them specifically because I don't really know where their funding comes from.
	How about we pull up their 990s?
	That's their tax form for non-profits.
	These groups, many of these NGOs, they're going to come out and claim Orange Man bad because they get their money from these government agencies.
	They get grants and payments without oversight.
	And Trump is saying no more.
	So America, I got a proposal for you.
	Elon Musk.
	He's stepping up.
	Where's that story?
	Is that one right here?
	Musk moles sending all Americans $5,000.
	Oh, Forbes, don't give me this.
	They auto-plan a video?
	Get out of there.
	Musk moles.
	Oh, they're still doing it, huh?
	$5,000 checks using Doge savings.
	$5,000.
	We got to clear a lot of funds for that.
	We got to clear a lot of funds for that.
	So we'll just do a...
	Let's just say...
	Like, what did I say earlier?
	250 million Americans?
	So, that's stupid Google.
unidentified		There you go.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So, we're looking at, oof, that's gonna be a lot of money.
		Let's do this.
		I think right now we're at, what is it?
		$275, based on what they've already cleared.
		So, they gotta make that bigger.
		How much money needed to give...
		Every tax-paying American, that's how we'll do it.
		Every tax-paying American, $5,000.
		Robot, take me home.
		The robot says nothing.
		Oh, there we go.
		It's under the way there.
		But the estimate is that there's upwards of $2 trillion.
		That is wasteful spending.
		I think that's probably correct.
		Forbes says billionaire Doge head Elon Musk said on Axe, formerly known as Twitter—uh-huh, we get it—that he would ask President Donald Trump to propose a Doge dividend that would give taxpayers a refund check of $5,000 by the savings from his Department of Government Efficiency.
		So let's go, ladies and gentlemen.
		Let me just ask you a question.
		Drop me a—this question's really stupid, I'm sorry, because I know the answer.
		Put a one in the chat.
		If you would like to receive $5,000 and put a two in the chat if you think that money should go to programs like gender studies in Pakistan and LGBTQ activism in Afghanistan.
		You choose!
		I don't know what the answer is going to be because even people who support the LGBT activism in Afghanistan are going to be like, I would personally like to have $5,000.
		That being said, I always like to do these polls on the chat.
		And the poll today is one like equals cash.
		Release the Epstein list.
		And the options are release it or no, because I'm on it.
		Two percent of respondents claim to be on the Epstein list and don't want it released.
		Well, OK, guys.
		So one person says three paid on the national debt.
		That's a good one.
		That's actually a good argument.
		Yeah, one of the things I've heard is that I think they were talking about this on Fox with the national debt being so high.
		If they clear $2 trillion, just pay down the debt.
		Pay it down.
		I don't know if we need to.
		I think the $5,000 Doge dividend would be a much better idea.
		And let me explain, good sir.
		Because I do respect the audio issue.
		Uh-oh, I bought up the Epstein list and now people are saying they can't hear me.
		Well, refresh the stream if you're getting audio issues.
		I don't think it's my microphone.
		I think it's the stream because I mentioned Epstein.
		Anyway, there's nothing I can do on this end.
		People are...
		Yo, that's really funny.
		And I can see the viewership went down a little bit when people are mentioning audio issues.
		Audio is cutting in and out.
		Well, you know, that's what happens when you say Epstein over and over again on the stream.
		What is this?
		Some people just need to refresh the stream.
		Well, now I forgot what I was going to say because people were saying, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
		I respect the message where they said that...
		Refresh works.
		Hit refresh.
		Really?
		That's messed up.
		That's a YouTube end thing.
		Well, if you're watching on Rumble, you probably have no issues.
		What are our friends on Rumble saying?
		Fine on Rumble.
		No audio issues here.
		Let me just point out, as we are live on both Rumble and YouTube, as soon as I mentioned that guy's name, people are like, I can't hear you anymore.
		The audio cut out.
	Really?
	Oh, we're having fun today, aren't we?
	And I can see that concurrent viewership on YouTube dropped by a thousand as soon as that happened.
	Well, that being said, many people are saying pay the debt off with it.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
unidentified		It is.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But let me explain.
		If every American got five thousand dollars, we would call that a stimulus.
		The Doge dividend refund would be instantly applied back into the economy for which the U.S. government would recuperate large portions of that in economic activity, meaning.
		The economic activity is going to generate more than $5,000 per person in tax benefits to the U.S. government.
		It's amazing how this system works.
		I've told this story over and over again about how a friend of mine's dad was a contractor in Chicago, Cook County.
		Cook County is where Chicago is.
		DuPage County is a western suburb.
		And what happened was Cook County raised their tax rate by like 0.25%.
		And then there was a Home Depot in Cook County that shut down, and they spent millions of dollars to reopen, like, two miles down the road, on the same road, in DuPage County.
		And when, like, I remember, like, I can't remember what it was.
		I think my friends would go there, and we'd, like, buy wood and stuff for skateboarding.
		And then it closed.
		We're like, that's weird, but we didn't really think much of it.
		And then my friend's dad was a contractor, was like, well, look, if we have to order, like, You know, $200,000 worth of materials for one project, and they're adding a quarter of a percent on top.
		I mean, for the year, you could be looking at 20 grand lost.
		I'd rather drive two miles.
		And I was like, that's interesting.
		By raising taxes, they reduced their tax revenue substantially, whereas Cook County normally would have received, you know, hundreds of thousands in taxes.
		They tried to squeeze a little bit more out of everybody, and they left.
		It is what it is.
unidentified		But, uh, yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		People are saying, oh, people with audio issues seem to be on their phones.
		I haven't had audio issues on YouTube today, but in the past, audio has been cut through only for Timcast.
		Well, you know what it is.
		Let me do this.
		I can absolutely tell that people are experiencing audio issues because the concurrent viewership just took a slash substantially.
		Right around the time I mentioned a particular individual's name, if you know what I mean.
		Well, everybody who's listening right now, if you could, share the video on every social media platform.
		This is the only thing that I can ask you to do.
		If YouTube is trying to suppress the stream or they're having technical issues, take the URL, whichever platform you're on, share it on X, everybody right now all at once, and if we add 30,000 tweets all at the same time, then Timcast Live is trending.
		The URL will be trending.
		A lot of people have pointed out to me that, you know, I've done this show for a long time.
		The Tim Pool Morning Show and Timcast IRL are global top podcasts.
		It's amazing.
		Thank you so much.
		We're nowhere near the biggest, though.
		But we have some of the biggest metrics.
		It's great.
		And what I've been told is it is in spite of what YouTube has been doing to try and suppress this show.
		And I believe it, for sure.
		Because we've been, for some time...
		At first, I would consider it to be, like, moderate liberal.
		Stop making me defend Trump, too.
		Trump's really proven himself, and he's doing a better job, and he's the right choice, because Democrats are increasingly going insane.
		As you know, in 2020, I was for the Democrats.
		I was for Tulsi Gabbard and Andrew Yang, and boy, the Democratic Party let me down.
		They have consistently tried to suppress that, and if you take a look at some of these liberals, it's really fascinating to me how, I just gotta be honest, you know, let me get a little egotistical here, if I may.
		I pulled up some of these liberal shows and I'm like, how do you watch this?
		To be fair, perhaps sometimes my words are a bit verbose.
		And that may be the problem.
		Some of these people probably need very simple emotional arguments.
		Trump is dumb.
		He's so dumb.
		I don't know.
		Whatever.
		But I do genuinely believe that.
		We here at TimCast, not just this show, but all the crew here, we do a good job of providing context on these stories.
		We're fairly rational and moderate on these issues.
		We have an extremely high watch time, a large subscriber base.
		Our recommendations are extremely low, indicating, well, first, I just say, we must suck.
		I'm not going to assume conspiracy where there's only circumstantial evidence.
		Fine.
		The show is just not that good.
		People don't share it when I ask them to, and we're only as big as we're ever going to be.
		So be it.
		I do kind of think, though, when you get tons of people saying that the audio cut out for no reason, but only on YouTube, especially when I name a certain individual, that these kinds of conversations are problematic, as there are powers that be that want centralized authority in this country and that is more easily attained when there is narrative control.
		So you wonder why it is that Timcast IRL averages some of the highest watch time and highest concurrent viewership, but they don't recommend it.
		You know, I guess, whatever.
		What's interesting to me is that people who start watching the show tend to watch and become dedicated viewers.
		No, seriously.
		So we started running ads for this, and we get tons of emails, tons of messages.
		Our churn rate for IRL is really low, meaning we have sustained growth.
		Well, that would be great for YouTube.
		Should they promote that?
		In fact, just the other day, this morning show, as well as, amazingly, yesterday...
		We had 20,000 currents, and this was still one of the biggest live streams in the world for the day, and Timcast IRL was in the top 10. Timcast IRL tends to do relatively high in the top live streams in the world, but more people are starting to get in the competitions, getting fierce.
		But still, this morning's show, check this out.
		You want to know what's fascinating?
		Timcast IRL on YouTube and Timcast IRL on Rumble are both, of themselves, global top live streams.
		So I really do appreciate all of you guys who watch.
		But considering the issues that we face, smash the like button and share it when you can.
		Anyway, now we've gotten a whole censorship element of the story because people started complaining about audio issues and nothing I can do but call that out.
		But let's jump over to where one more powerful element of the story.
		My friends, there is a powerful apparatus that exists within this government, that exists within our corporate structures.
		They receive money.
	They live in a world where they're better than you.
	And they know it!
	I don't want to live in that world.
	And I think one of the reasons why this show has grown in spite of the censorship is because, well, we're a fairly moderate show.
	Both shows that we do.
	They call me a milquetoast defense sitter.
	Fairly moderate.
	But come on.
	Like, I'm obvious on the side of free speech, civil libertarianism, moral tradition, etc.
	But for the most part, we'll bring in a neocon.
	You know, Elad Eliyahu, who does field reporting for TimCast, is very, very much expansionist, American neoconservative type ideologies.
	We'll bring him on.
	I got mad at him once.
	I yelled at him.
	I had to apologize.
	The apology was warranted, but I just got so mad because I'm so anti-war.
	I'm like, America first!
	Secure our borders!
	Stop fighting overseas!
	We got Ian, who's crazy, and a lot of people love him or hate him.
	The goal is to have an eclectic view.
	We'd bring on more liberals, but they're terrified of the conversation because, well, they're all wrong.
	So we have libertarians, moderate liberals and conservatives and dedicated Democrats just don't want to come on the show.
	When they do, they get roasted.
	But I think that's a threat to the infrastructure.
	Powerful corporate interests.
	They want a docile American population who buys their, you know...
	Freezer meals, eats garbage with weird chemicals in it.
	They don't want people like RFK Jr. making the country healthy.
	They don't want strong, independent America.
	I do.
	And I think that's the problem they have with us, is that TimCast wants you to be fit, to be strong, to be self-reliant, and to own chickens.
	And they don't want you owning chickens.
	They're trying to get rid of all of them.
	And you know, I'm half joking, but they really are trying to get rid of the chickens.
	With all the bird flu stories and then the culling and the egg prices.
	It's pretty wild.
	What I want for you guys is to be of strong mind, capable, confident, and taking care of yourselves.
	You know why?
	I don't want to do it for you.
	And I don't want you to touch my stuff either.
	So you don't touch my stuff.
	I don't touch your stuff.
	But that means I need you to know how to fish, hunt, survive.
	I mean that figuratively.
	Because then I don't want someone coming on my door knocking and being like, I don't know how to get food.
	And I'm going to be like, bro, I can help you out.
	OK, but you do you, I do me.
	We got to be morally responsible.
	There's got to be merit.
	I want you guys to be smart and capable.
	The only thing, too, is a dumb population votes for dumb things.
	And then you get oppressed.
	Then the government knocks on my door and they're like, sir, we're taking your chickens.
	And then I'm like over out of my cold, dead hands.
	But I don't want that to happen either.
	I believe the American people have a right.
	To be self-sufficient in the food they grow.
	And I jokingly have the Boonies HQ skateboard, 28th Amendment.
	Let me pull that one up for you.
	And we haven't done a Boonies HQ shout-out in a minute.
	But I do sincerely mean this, which is why I'm going to pull this up.
	This is one of our best-selling skateboards.
	The 28th Amendment.
	The chickens being necessary to the security of a free state.
	The right of the people to keep bear and breed chickens shall not be infringed.
	Look at that chicken right there.
unidentified		right there.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Isn't that the greatest doodle ever?
		The purpose of this is only half of a joke.
		I like to be silly.
		But the point is, I genuinely believe there should be an amendment to the Constitution that guarantees the right of the people to be secure in producing food and sustenance for themselves and their families.
		Now, maybe not having roosters in a city.
		OK, fine, whatever.
		But there are a lot of places that banned people from growing their own food, capturing water and raising chickens or other animals.
		I believe that is wrong.
		The Much like I believe individuals in this country have a right to work, I believe you have a right to grow tomatoes in your garden.
		And there are places that forbid you from doing it.
		And they say, well, then you get too much and it attracts animals.
		And I'm like, yeah, too bad.
		Too bad.
		The community will have to figure that one out, but you have a right to feed yourself and not be reliant on the state or private enterprise.
		Now let's grab this last element of the story.
		Trump firing all the Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys.
		We'll keep this one simple.
		You get it.
		He posted on Truth.
		four years, the Department of Justice has been politicized like never before.
		Therefore, I have instructed the termination of all remaining Biden era U.S. attorneys.
		We must clean house immediately and restore confidence.
		America's golden age must have a fair justice system that begins today.
		Indeed, my friends, tell me why.
		Give me a real reason why we should retain any employee of the federal government if the duly elected president says they should be terminated.
		There's only one.
		There's one good reason.
		And I heard this and liberals are hooting and hollering about it.
		An active duty member of the military who is deployed can't be fired.
		While they're deployed.
		And I'm like, OK, like, I don't care.
		Fine.
		If you work for the government in some government job and you're also a reservist or you're in the military, whatever it may be, however, this works, then sure.
		We will not fire you until you get back.
		Or maybe you're one of the people we do want to keep around.
		Not a guarantee.
		But I don't see an argument.
		If the head of the executive branch with the sole power vested in him wants to say you're fired, who's going to stop him?
		Now, let's be a bit more nuanced in this.
		Trump is obviously talking about Biden-era U.S. attorneys.
		Well, they were hunting down little old ladies.
		Clearly, these are not law enforcement priorities.
		Oh, a 60-year-old woman who's walking around the Capitol.
		Oh, get out of here, dude.
		You know, the J6 thing that really grinds my gears is if you've got like a 40-year-old guy bashing a cop, we're like, I get it.
		That guy should be arrested and go to jail.
		I don't care who you are.
		I do think a couple of years in prison is probably long enough.
		So the commutation or the pardons, I think, are fine.
		I think that the people who are violent should be commuted and the nonviolent should be pardoned because are you seriously going to hunt down a guy because he walked in a building and walked out?
		Spare me, dude.
		I don't even think that for leftists.
		Like a leftist who is a cop.
		It's like two years is enough, man.
		You don't want to waste our money and taxpayer dollars in these prisons.
		That being said, the priorities of these attorneys was clearly not justice and law enforcement, but hunting down people for ideological reasons, as evidenced by the fact they don't hunt down far leftists.
		Now that Trump is in, we're starting to get a little bit of it.
		Trump in his first term was a little light on all of these things, but it's about time, to be completely honest.
		Now this, of course, once again is being called a massive power grab.
		They're saying Trump is weaponizing things.
		He only wants loyalists.
		It's the stupidest argument imaginable.
		Get out of here.
		I don't care.
	They should be loyal to Trump.
	He's the president.
	In what reality are we supposed to accept the argument that we want disloyal prosecutors?
	It's laughably stupid.
	If Biden got in and said, I want prosecutors who are loyal to me, I'd be like, I guess.
	I mean, he got elected.
	The issue largely for conservatives and Republicans, they don't believe Biden actually got elected.
	But I do.
	I think Biden actually got elected, and I'll tell you why.
	Because, oh, what is this?
	The chat froze on me.
	Getting elected isn't about convincing a population.
	It's about winning the seat of power.
	We call them, many people have referred to our elections as miniature civil wars.
	I don't think so.
	I think largely it's been the uniparty deep state just agreeing with each other.
	But Biden got elected, and you might argue, yeah, but they did this, that or otherwise.
	I'm like, uh-huh, and he got elected.
	Because I don't view elections.
	In the literal on the surface argument, there are people who say an election is when one man argues for his positions, another man argues his positions, and then everyone decides which one was right.
	That's not an election.
	That's like fairy tale stuff.
	That's like telling people that the tooth fairy is coming to pick up your tooth from under your pillow.
	No, the truth was your parents did that and gave you money for some reason.
	I don't know why.
	But it's fun, I guess.
	There was never a point in my life where I actually believed in a tooth fairy because I had older siblings.
	So you live differently.
	For those with older siblings, you get it.
	Middle children are probably confused.
	But now they say elections are when they argue to the American people and then you cast your vote.
	And I'm like, oh, is that what you think it is?
	That's cute.
	Well, when you grow up, you learn that's a fairy tale.
	And elections are about getting as many pieces of paper as possible and then convincing people with some semblance of power that you won.
	And if they seat Joe Biden in that seat, he won.
	Now, if Joe Biden wanted to hire a bunch of people who are loyal to him, I'd be like, that's what they do.
	The problem arises not in loyal prosecutors.
	It arises in that Joe Biden was probably not Joe Biden, to be honest, maybe Barack Obama, but whoever was in charge was hunting down little old ladies.
	And OK, I'll be fair.
	There were some 40 year old guys who are nonviolent, who are hunted down as well.
	But the little ladies plays well or with the with the key demo.
	You get more sympathy out of it.
	I'm half kidding.
	My point is, these prosecutors, these FBI agents should all be terminated because they have proven they cannot operate without bias.
	If they were equally divided among the far left and J6, I'd still have concerns and be like, look, some of these people walked into a building where the door was open.
	Not every part of the Capitol was smashed glass and people fighting cops.
	One side, the doors were open and people walked around confused, took selfies with police officers, stayed within the velvet ropes.
	Why are you hunting those people down while ignoring the far-left extremists who are firebombing the White House?
	Clearly, these people cannot be trusted.
	Therefore, I have no problem with Donald Trump or anybody else firing everyone.
	But let's bring this back home.
	We'll bring it back home, of course.
	And then we'll grab some of your super chats, the original article, where it all begins.
	Trump signing executive order to claim power over independent agencies.
	Let me just say it this way.
	Trump signs executive order to manage independent agencies.
	Trump signs executive order reasserting what is known to be true at the executive branch.
	The president has the sole executive authority vested in him.
	It's very strange, isn't it, that they've built this system that exists outside the Constitution over a long period of time.
	But I get it.
	You know, it's kind of like if you, you know, over a long enough period of time, your monitor screen gets covered in dust.
	And then eventually it's hard to see what's on there.
	All of that dust needs to be wiped off.
	Blow on it.
	Get all that crud out of there.
	I'd say it's actually more like mold.
	Now, I don't want to say it's like mold because maybe rust.
	You know, if I was to say this country's gotten moldy, it would imply you got to throw the whole thing away.
	But I don't think that's true.
	I think Donald Trump has just found this beautiful medieval sword in a stone covered in rust.
	And he's pulled it out and said, this sword is really great, but we got to clean it.
	And then he started polishing it.
	And the Democrats are like, no, don't, because then you'll have a great functioning country and we want you to be weak and fat.
	So I'm here for it.
	I'm totally here for it.
	My friend, smash that like button.
	Share the show with everyone.
	You know what I feel like?
	I feel like when I say share the show with everyone, you know, it isn't really an effective means of conveying the idea because it's just a fast little quip.
	I gotta say something like, every day an Ian goes to sleep crying because you have not shared the show.
	Please.
	Share this show now and become a member at TimCast.com to join our Discord server and be involved in the community.
	And don't forget, Rumble Premium for all of our exclusive premium content, the Green Room Uncensored podcast, half an hour to 45 minutes long, every day, Monday through Friday.
	We are increasing it, plus the Uncensored call-in show at Monday through Thursday at 10 p.m.
	and feature-length documentaries.
	We are currently in the pre-production stage very, very early for our next feature-length documentaries.
	We got big ones planned.
	I don't think we actually have the budget for eight.
	After talking with these crews about the increase in costs for everything in the past two years, I'm like, dang, we really are not going to be able to get this done.
	Short films and mini-docs we can probably pull off, but feature-length documentaries are going to be hard, but I think they're important.
	I think we should do it.
	Certainly, they're not going to be as massive as, like, Am I Racist, which was incredible.
	Shout out to Matt Walsh.
	But if you check out Infringed and Game of Money, you get an idea.
	So go to rumble.com slash Tim Pool.
	And in the playlist, you can see our feature-length documentaries, Game of Money and Infringed.
	Infringed is really great.
	I mean, they're both really, really great.
	Game of Money is actually a bit more evergreen, talking about how money works in this country.
	That one's going to be huge for you guys.
	Infringed may be a little dated at this point because it was about gun rights a couple years ago, hosted by Lauren Southern.
	I recommend you guys check that one out.
	But sharing really is caring.
	I'll say it again.
	I wonder if we can do that thunderclap thing.
	If everybody shared, like 23,000 people on YouTube, we've got on Rumble, 7,000 people watching.
	If 30,000 people right now shared watch TimCast Live, that would instantly be the biggest show of the day in the world.
	I'm not exaggerating.
	30,000 shares in one minute.
unidentified		Bang!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Be cool.
		Let's grab some of your super chats and rumble rants and see what's up.
		Valkyrie says, to be honest, I don't want a dividend from the cut government waste.
		I want it all thrown at the national debt.
		And it's a good point.
		But as I was saying, a $5,000 stimulus will generate more economic activity.
		It'll create more than $5,000 per person.
		So basically what happens is one guy's got five grand.
		He spends that.
		And that five grand goes all around in various areas.
		Sales tax.
		It goes into, obviously, income tax.
		The money that goes to another person, it all keeps getting spent.
		And the generation of economic activity will create more than $5,000 per person.
		So economic activity generates more tax revenue.
		Fact.
		But, you know, still, I think maybe you're right.
		Wyatt Caldenberg says, check out...
		Just PA, cheapest housing market in the U.S., JST, PA. I bought a house for $17,000 nonstop flights from D.C. to JST, Redis County in PA. JST, huh?
		Grease Monkey says, Tim needs to make a Trump impression compilation.
		They make me laugh every time he goes Trumpian.
		You know...
		Sometimes I actually try to do a Trump.
		Usually I'm doing like a cartoony.
		A cartoony Trump!
		He talks like this!
		And it's like intentionally not that good of a Donald Trump.
unidentified		Because Trump actually, sometimes he talks like this.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And I think, you know, I don't think I have the best Trump.
		You know, I just do it silly.
		Sakharin says, your mic is cutting out, Tim.
		I must stress to all of you, that ain't on our end.
		Because those that are watching on Rumble said there were no issues.
		No issues indeed.
		And then people said they refreshed YouTube, and the issue went away.
		So what can I say?
		Kaldra Verswish says, Hey Tim, I love the hard work, but wanted to make a small correction, being a Battlefield fan.
		The prosthetic lady was in Battlefield V, which was World War II. Battlefield I was the last good Battlefield game.
		That one was World War I. Ah, I stand corrected.
		It was Battlefield V. The pink-haired prosthetic lady.
		I just remember those videos going viral and people are like, what?
		What is this?
		Alright, we'll grab some more Super Chats here.
		MBJ says, I take the 5k to fix my negative equity car loan.
		Yeah, man, I hear you on that one.
		Indeed.
		I want to give a shout-out to Elon Musk for slashing the prices of all the Tesla vehicles and gutting my equity.
		I'm not really mad about it.
		I want Tesla to succeed.
		But it is true that...
		It was a couple years ago, Elon announced they were cutting the price of Teslas down to increase the market.
		I think it was a good move for the company, and I like Teslas personally.
		But anybody who owned a Tesla just saw their equity get eliminated.
		So a lot of it is kind of brutal.
		If you own a Tesla on finance, like let's say you bought a Model S used for like $100,000, and then he slashed the price down to $50,000, and you still owed $80,000, you'd be like, I owe $80,000 on a $50,000 car I can't sell.
		Being underwater is not fun.
		So it's kind of brutal.
		But look, man.
		Elon Musk is a guy.
		He's a smart guy.
		You'd be stupid to think otherwise.
		He's got a great mind.
		He's doing great things.
		And I'm very, very excited for...
		Look, as much as we rag on Neuralink, I know that if I was ever injured in such a way where I couldn't see here or I was partially paralyzed or completely, I'd be begging Elon Musk for Neuralink.
		So that technology is wonderful.
		Absolutely wonderful.
		Already, he said in the interview with Hannity, There are people who can control computers with their mind better than people with their hands.
		And that's amazing.
		Because, what was it?
		Someone was playing Civilization with their brain.
		Man, if that were me and I was just like stuck in a bed, I'd be like, hook me up, bro.
		I will play Civ all day.
		That's all.
		I'll play whatever.
		I mean, think about how insane it would be to be playing, I don't know, like Marvel Rivals.
		And there was this scandal, I guess, where they were like, you can't use mouse and keyboard on console because people have obviously developed workarounds with USB. Because mouse and keyboard is way easier to aim with the mouse as opposed to the controller.
		Imagine you're playing a team shooter and then one of the guys on your team is controlling the character with his brain directly.
		You'd be like, yo, that's unfair.
		I can't compete with that.
		He's perfect aim, but the game's going to be like, well, we can't ban him because it's an Americans with disabilities issue.
		It's the only way he can play.
		Hey, yo, man.
		So I think Elon's doing really great work in that regard.
		I really do.
		Jason Dixon says, Tim, from your Discord, like Roma Nation, it's based gaming, runs a game creation content with developers.
		He makes the game you wish you could and you want your kids to play.
		Well, Jason, why don't we get...
		We had...
		Normie Quest was the name of the game that went into production, like, got frozen, and then never got finished.
		And it was a functioning game we used to play all the time.
		The story was, you're a construction worker at the top of a skyscraper, and you get a text alert that police have killed an unarmed black man.
	And then the main character is like, oh no.
	I'm sorry, I'm ruining the story for you guys.
	The story was, he gets a...
	His phone vibrates and he looks, and it says, you know, little Billy's...
	Billy's Little League game, 2 p.m., and he's like, can't miss that.
	Then instantly another thing pops up that the police brutality incident, you know, killing an unarmed black man, resulting in mass protests.
	And so Normie, a regular guy who's uninterested in the protest, has to make his way down the skyscraper and make it home to get to his son's Little League game.
	The whole thing was a joke.
	We were like, will we get banned on Steam for that?
	Because it was meant to satirize just the modern...
	But I'm sure the left would lose their mind over the concept.
	But it was basically a roguelike top-down game.
	Think Spelunky.
	And I'm a big fan of Spelunky.
	And your character, the first level is unfinished skyscraper.
	The second level is semi-finished.
	The third level is finished offices that are vacant.
	And the first level has, you know, functioning business.
	And we got pretty far in the development of that game.
	But then it just fell into development.
	Frozen hell and never got done.
	We had a multiplayer version.
	We had a multiplayer King of the Hill battle attached to it where two characters would play in a skyscraper where you can climb to the top and collect items and then battle it out.
	The game was really fun.
	We used to play it all the time.
	I posted clips on Instagram.
	You could wall jump and stuff like that.
	And then never got done.
	Never got released.
	And I was like, why don't we just open source it, put it out, get someone to do it.
	So, there you go.
	Wyatt Caldenberg says, JST is Johnstown, PA. Only locals know this.
	Ah, well, right on.
	Rad, guys, we're going to wrap it up.
	We're a couple minutes over, but that's always okay.
	Smash the like button.
	Join the Discord server at TimCast.com.
	For all of our exclusive members-only content, for which we've got a lot more planned, Rumble Premium.
	So go to TimCastPremium.com to sign up, and that will redirect you instantly to Rumble.
	Use the promo code TIM10. It's all default if you go to timcastpremium.com.
	Here's the best part.
	You get Steven Crowder's content, too.
	That's right!
	Get Timcast Premium, and then you can go watch Crowder's stuff.
	That's actually pretty awesome.
	Mug Club, you can watch that.
	Dan Bongino, Ruben, Russell Brand, Charlie Kirk, all of the creators that are on Rumble, Dr. Disrespect, all in one location.
	It's not just our content.
	You get everybody's content.
	And so that was basically the pitch.
	What's really cool is when we do the Uncensored Call-In Show, we now have a large portion of viewers who are Mug Club members from Steven Crowder's show watching TimCast.
	That's network power, baby.
	So what we want to do is build a sphere of cultural influence.
	Obviously, we can't do it all as little pocket islands with a gigantic Hollywood in the middle.
	So with Rumble, we have basically built a massive archipelago, as it were.
	Not just the islands, but networks.
	And we are unifying, sharing audience, sharing influence.
	Hopefully, with the expansion of the Casper franchise locations, we get a foothold in meatspace, as we call it.
	And then we're going to have substantially more influence in sharing our values.
	Though we may disagree from time to time.
	Then, of course, we have the Discord server.
	Watching this show isn't enough.
	I mean, just watching it is great, and I'm glad you do.
	But when you're in the Discord server, you're actively networking with other people.
	So while we as a show have a network with the Rumble, with Rumble crew, which is powerful, the Discord is for you, the audience, to network with each other as well.
	Shows have emerged, Roman Nation, Quiet Park Podcast, It's Based Gaming, and these shows have been rather successful.
	In fact, the Green Room we did, the Behind the Scenes Uncensored with Roman Nation, got 130,000 views.
	So for those people who are trying to build culture, you will find friends and find access, and there's a community that's going to help you out, give you the advice you need, and it's a launching base.
	It's an incubator.
	So, TimCast.com, smash the like button, share the show.
	Thank you all so much for hanging out.
	We're back, of course, later today with more segments coming up.
