Ladies and gentlemen, I have terrible news.
For the Democrats, Karine Jean-Pierre has left the Democratic Party.
Their brand is trash.
They've got nothing left.
Their media apparatus is weakened with no ratings.
And it's become a desperate-ish show.
I'll try to keep it family-friendly here on our news program.
Now, Karine Jean-Pierre, of course, was Joe Biden's press secretary.
And she's getting absolutely annihilated by the frail ramblings of what is left of the We talked about it a bit last night in reviewing some of these liberal YouTubers where the only thing they have left, what they do, is they'll take a screenshot of Trump doing anything.
And it's not even news anymore.
They'll just write, Trump appears unhinged on TV.
And it's like, you're not telling anybody anything.
It's just rage bait for Trump-obsessed 70-year-olds.
Or whatever.
Maybe on YouTube they're hitting the key demo.
And I thought about it for a while.
I just thought, there's no more opposition for the most part.
Trump's approval rating is fantastic.
Despite the fact the polls make literally no sense, if we want to just say, let's look at the aggregate, Trump's 50-50 with a margin of error.
He's done a little bit.
I'll give him that, right?
It's like minus two.
But that's margin of error.
It's better than Obama and Bush in their second term.
His popularity is rising.
Support on his economic initiatives is increasing.
He's got tremendous support on immigration.
And Democrats continue dropping.
People don't think the Democrats have strong leadership.
They don't think they can get anything done.
And more and more prominent individuals are quitting the party.
Those that are trying to stand up to be leaders are still deeply unpopular.
And there's no unity among this faction of people.
Centrist moderate types of the Democratic Party think they hold the key.
The problem is the true centrists of the Democratic Party have left people like me.
And you know, the best way to break down their sheer and utter desperation with a little bit of ego on top is, hey, The Daily Show talked about me last night.
Why?
I just, am I really that important?
Yo, I gotta be honest.
I know I got a big show.
I know that Timcast IRL does really well at night.
We have tremendous ratings.
We are smoking the competition.
I just don't actually ever feel that important to get my own dedicated hit piece from The Daily Show, which used clips from 10 years ago, completely out of context, mind you, and points where I was correct.
They claimed I was not correct.
I just gotta say, I think I know why they're doing it.
This is the last ditch effort of a desperate Democratic Party.
Let me put it this way.
I'm sitting here, you know, as my social team sends me this daily show hit piece on me, having to do, starting off with me being at the White House, which was what, like a month and a half or longer?
That was a while ago.
And I'm like, why are they talking about me?
Slow news day, I guess.
Oh, that must be it.
So here's the thing.
I'm a liberal.
This show is liberal.
It's a fact.
The left is going to call it far-right and conservative.
They're going to claim that I'm a far-right podcaster.
None of that is true.
The guy, Klepper, even says that I dress like I'm from Hot Topic.
Doesn't sound very conservative, if you ask me.
No, the reality is Tim Pool is an urban liberal guy who left the Democratic Party and the liberal side because these people are crackpot cultist lunatics.
But what happens when I start convincing people maybe Trump ain't all that bad?
Karine Jean-Pierre just quit the party.
And you know what I'll take credit for?
For all the people who say, you know, I didn't know what to believe.
I started watching your show, Tim, and now I'm kind of middle of the road.
Some people have said, now I'm diehard MAGA.
And I always tell people like, hey man, I'm not telling you to be diehard MAGA or nothing like this.
I'm just trying to break down what's going on to the best of my abilities.
Boy, do they not like it.
But what fear do I have a dying media apparatus?
They can lie all they want.
It just proves my point right here.
Those who are apostates to the Democrat machine must be stopped.
And I always did find it kind of funny.
They didn't seem to pay attention to me, even though I was getting tremendous play because they're late to the party.
In 2020, this is kind of crazy to say, but my YouTube was the biggest non-liberal, I don't want to say conservative, but anti-Democrat, anti-establishment channel.
So there were some people that were losing their minds over this.
They were like, I think my YouTube channel is getting something like 120 million views per month.
Yeah, we're doing like 40-something now.
I mean, like, I have three channels.
I'm doing like 45. Actually, maybe it's like 50 to 60 right now.
It's like a political off-season.
But it was way bigger, bigger than most.
They never said anything about it.
None they lost.
Now they're salty.
But here's the reality.
They don't have answers.
Their popularity sucks.
I'm not wrong.
And their desperation, all it does is make it worse for them.
So I'm going to give them a free lesson for people like The Daily Show, who get no viewers, by the way, and they're just talking about me like everybody does because Tim Pool as a hashtag apparently generates a lot of clicks.
We'll start with where the Democratic Party is, why people love Donald Trump, and then we'll be joined by Rich Lowry.
From, I believe, the National Review, if I have this correct, let me make sure I'm not flubbing that.
I have this correct.
Yes, the editor-in-chief of the National Review, very excited, to talk about where Trump currently is and a lot about this coalition between the liberals and conservatives and where we go from here.
With the Democrats ripping Corrine Jean-Pierre to shreds, her trying to leave the party, it's clear.
You don't want Democrat attached to your name.
It's unpopular.
But before we get started, my friends, I want to give a shout-out to, I guess, CastBrew.com.
Head over to CastBrew.com and pick up some CastBrew coffee.
Use promo code RUMBLE10 if you'd like to get some delicious coffee.
We got Ian's Graphene Dream back in stock.
Appalachian Nights, everybody's favorite.
And we got coffee pods, too.
If you want to support the work that we do, we sell coffee.
And we're opening physical coffee shops.
It's a big undertaking.
We've got a lot of franchises and franchise opportunities, but that stuff has been moving.
Deals are being dealt.
I've got to be careful about what I can't announce because there's a lot of contract stuff in there.
But it's looking pretty good.
Stay tuned for the next couple of months.
Maybe some big news there.

Although the algorithmic machine certainly is against us, it helps quite a bit.
Let's jump into the story from ABC News and get into the crux of what it really means that Corrine Jean-Pierre has left the Democratic Party.
With ABC News reporting, former White House press sec, Kareem Jean-Pierre, KGP would call her, has left the Democratic Party and is now an independent, according to a press release announcing her new book, Independent, a look inside a broken White House outside the party lines.
I threw up in my mouth a little bit.
The release from Legacy Lit, an imprint of the Hatchet book group, and Jean-Pierre has chosen to look beyond party lines and is embracing life as an independent, a decision that indicated she did not come too lightly.
Jean-Pierre, who served in the Biden administration, is somewhat vague about why she no longer identifies as a Democrat, writing that she feels What does it mean that someone like her is independent?
Honest question.
I think Democrats don't have policies.
They don't have a plan.
And so what we're really saying here is putting Democrat in front of your name does nothing other than confuse people and associate.
Associates you with losers.
So for all I know, Karine Jean-Pierre could be far left.
She could be progressive.
And the reason why she's saying, I'm an independent, is because she feels like the Democrats aren't strong enough on Israel.
Maybe it's because she only painfully endorsed the establishment Democrat ideas, and she's always actually been a bit of a moderate.
Honestly, I have no idea.
I think the reality is just that the Democratic Party is a terrible brand.
Which is just bad for anybody to be associated with.
Quote, She served in that role through the end of former President Joe Biden's term, also becoming senior advisor to the president.
She was the first black woman and openly gay person in the position, and she worked in positions under former President Barack Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris as well.
Her departure from the Democratic Party comes as the party looks to regain momentum following 2024 election losses, which I think it's getting bad for them.
Trump's approval rating is up.
The ratings for these shows is way down.
I determined that the danger we face as a country requires freeing ourselves of boxes, she said in the release.
We need to be willing to exercise the ability to think creatively and plan strategically.
We need to be clear-eyed about questioning rather than blindly loyal and obedient as we may have been in the past.
Freeing ourselves of boxes is truly at the heart and soul of my new book, Independent, she added.
So perhaps she's doing this as a publicity stunt to sell books.
Well, I'll tell you what.
They have come for her knives out.
How dare you?
She's become an apostate.
Biden world goes scorched earth on Corrine Jean-Pierre, heaven's me, written by everyone's favorite Alex Thompson, who was stricken blind, deaf and dumb during the Biden years and had no idea that Biden's brain wasn't working.
Former Biden press secretary Corrine Jean-Pierre announced Tuesday that she's written a book about a broken Biden White House and what she sees as the betrayal of the former president by the Democratic Party.
Really?
Many of her former colleagues think Jean-Pierre, the face of the White House for more than two years, was part of the problem.
Yes!
She was one of the worst press secretaries.
Look, I thought Jen Psaki did a good job.
Like, I've maintained this.
I challenge you.
Go look at any of my other posts, my videos from back then.
And I said, listen, Jen Psaki gives quick answers and she spins.
That's what she should be doing.
Corrine Jean-Pierre was miserably bad at the job.
Driving the news.
Jean-Pierre's announcement Wednesday led former Biden aides to tee off on her.
Many quietly had fumed for years, believing she was incompetent at her job at the White House podium and more interested in promoting herself than Joe Biden.
News of her book, Independent, a look inside a broken White House, outside the party lines, and that she was leaving the Democratic Party and that she was the final straw for many people who'd worked with her.
The fighting within the Biden world is a part of a larger post-election angst and grievances amid new reporting of how Biden's staff tried to hide his physical and mental decline during his presidency.
Jean-Pierre was a key part of the effort to conceal Biden's decline, vouching for his fitness and insisting the president then, 81, was as sharp as ever, even after last June's disastrous debate against Donald Trump.
One former White House official who worked closely with Jean-Pierre told Axios that she was one of the most ineffectual and unprepared people I've ever worked with.
She had meltdowns after any interview that asked about a topic not sent over by producers.
She didn't know how to manage a team, didn't know how to shape or deliver a message, and often created more problems than she solved.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
They really are just going after her on this stuff.
Pretty brutal.
A former Biden communications official threw more wood on the fire.
The hubris of thinking you can position yourself as an outsider when you not only have enjoyed the perks of extreme proximity to power, which bestows the name recognition needed to sell books off your name, but have actively wielded it from the biggest pulpit there is, is as breathtaking.
It's difficult to see how this is anything but a bizarre cash grab.
By all means, I welcome her cash grab as it tarnishes the already tarnished Democratic Party.
A former senior spokesperson in Biden's admin added.
It's hard to believe someone could look at the past year and genuinely think the party left Joe Biden.
That's why I'm leaving the Democratic Party.
Okay, look, Democrats are just ripping her to shreds, but let's play ball.
From Yahoo News, are you kidding me?
CNN data chief stunned by Democrats polling on this key issue.
Yeah, you get it.
Harry Enten on CNN has become a living meme where he frequently points out that Democrats are just...
I'm like, I think we won.
I mean, maybe one's not that answer, but man, have we as the moderate rational types in this country, be it a conservative, a moderate, post-liberal, disfected liberal, whatever you call yourselves, we've certainly routed the Democrats, the woke, the liberal base.
They've got nothing anymore.
Their support is collapsing.
Their party offers nothing other than we hate Trump, but Trump's popularity is improving.
The reason why I think it's obvious that Democrats are sinking is because Trump's popularity is improving.
There's a direct correlation.
Now, perhaps Trump's popularity is improving because people are waking up to the news.
They're reading about what's going on and they're saying, hey, Trump actually ain't all that wrong about this.
And if he's not wrong and I don't hate him, then what are the Democrats offering me?
They just hate Trump.
Okay?
Well, I don't.
So what are you offering me?
Nothing.
I had the privilege to sit down with Bill Maher a couple weeks ago and I said Democrats have no policies.
To which Bill said that they do, one of which is accepting election defeats.
And I was like, they've rejected every election my whole life.
And he said, no, it's Republicans.
I pointed out Al Gore.
His response, well, you know, that wasn't Al.
That was the Democrats.
And I'm like, either way, look, man, I grew up in a world where Democrats won't shut up when they lose elections.
But that's besides the point.
That's not a policy.
That's just the way people behave.
And you can say that's Trump.
Certainly it's not all Republicans.
The fact is, tell me what Democrats are doing for me.
Hold on to nothing.
Right now, when we slide over to our friends at YouGov, Trump's rising popularity, the budget, 2026 midterms, Democrats, leader policing and Musk, May 30th to June 2nd, they say, All right, where are we at?
What do you got?
Approval and disapproval of Trump's job performance.
Hey, look at this.
Over the last couple of months, since mid-March, it started to decline.
Yeah, likely the tariffs.
But it's been slowly increasing.
Strongly or somewhat approved, 45%.
Hey, that ain't bad.
That's not bad.
His disapproval is at 49, according to YouGov.
And I say, okay.
You know, he had brief moments where he was above water to YouGov.
Now, all that matters is the trending.
YouGov is going to use the same kind of polling methods that they always do.
So, as much as I'm a big fan of aggregate polling, I've got to stress, you've got to take it, you've got to look at each individual polls and see how they're trending.
Take a look at this from RealClearPolitics.
Well, RealClearPolling, to be fair.
Trump's RCP average right now is minus 2.5.
Okay, what does that tell us?
Literally nothing.
I ain't kidding.
When you actually look at the breakdown in polls to figure out why Trump is at minus 2.5, you find none of the polls make any sense.
Here's one of my favorites.
Reuters Ipsos minus 10 from May 16th to the 18th.
But hold on.
Insider advantage on the 17th to the 19th with an overlap is plus 11. If we're to believe those polls, that would mean something happened on the 17th with overlap where they were tied.
And then by the 19th, a 21 point swing in favor of Trump.
Or I'm going to go and say nobody has any idea what's going on.
Thank you and have a nice day.
Trafalgar Group has Trump up eight.
But then Economist YouGov, for the same time period, has him at minus five.
How is that swing possible?
It's not.
So when they say to me, this many people like or don't like Trump, I'm like, not, you're wrong.
What I can track and what is fair is to assess the trending up or downwards, which is trackable with each individual poll, which they kind of don't show.
But you can take a look at here in the aggregate.
What do we end up seeing?
All the polls use a similar methodology.
Even the ones that say Trump is minus 13, this Yahoo News poll.
Rasmussen, for instance, has Trump up three points, and they use a similar method and polling pool.
This means that if tomorrow Rasmussen has a minus three, we can say that they've tracked in their cohort a downward trend.
When Trump enacted the tariffs, when he announced the tariffs, there was a market decline in his approval rating among every group.
Even Rasmussen was reporting this.
And so what I was telling people was we don't know Trump's exact approval in aggregate.
We don't know the average because these make literally no sense.
How Insider Advantage has him up 11 points and then literally over the same time period, Daily Kos, Civics, which Daily Kos, of course, is far left, has a minus five.
It makes no sense.
So how are you supposed to actually know?
All we can really tell right now is when Trump does something good or bad that people like or don't like.
What I can say is Democrats ain't doing too well.
Newsweek reports Donald Trump eliminates Democrats' polling advantage in key area.
I love the vagaries they use for their headlines.
Clickbait.
They say for decades Democrats were widely regarded as the party of the middle class.
In 1989, they held a dominant 23-point advantage over Republicans on the question of which party best represented middle-class interests, according to polling from NBC, CNBC.
But since then, the Democrats' lead among the demographic has started to crumble, falling to plus 17 in 26 and then plus 4 in 2022.
And today, my friends, it's tied.
Yeah.
They're tied now.
Nobody knows for sure, but I think it's pretty obvious the younger generation sees the Republican Party as the party of the working class.
You know, let me just do this.
Democrats, party of the rich.
I love this article.
You know, because it's just, it's just Vox.com.
Democrats are replaced.
This is from 2016.
This is 10 years ago.
Okay, nine years ago, but now we're nitpicking.
Democrats are replacing Republicans as the preferred party of the very wealthy.
Okay, forgive me, but...
Look at that Hillary Clinton face.
That's right.
And this was just before Donald Trump won.
A few months before.
Pretty wild to think it's been that long, hasn't it?
Nine years.
Man, empires rise and fall in short amounts of time.
In 2012, something unusual happened.
The wealthiest 4% of voting-aged Americans, by a narrow plurality, supported a Democrat for president.
This hasn't happened since 1964.
Before that, it hasn't happened since.
Possibly the 1880s.
So was 2012 a blip like 1964 or was 2012 the start of a phase shift?
Indeed, my friends, the data has tracked swimmingly.
And here we are once again looking at data that shows Democrats just plumb don't like you.
They like the rich people.
Here's my favorite from the nation.
The Democrats' class trip to nowhere.
A sparsely attended forum about the working class held at a $40 million think tank.
Yep, sounds about right.
From Chris Lehman of The Nation.
Ah, yes, the progressives of Over The Nation.
There was much that felt off-kilter and disorienting in the Wednesday gathering that marked the latest effort by the Center for American Progress Action Fund to reckon with the vexed question of the Democratic Party's future.
To begin with, consider the title of the forum representing working-class voters.
The phrasing here suggests the class agenda before the Democrats is a fairly straightforward matter of improving services for an already bought-in constituency.
When in reality, the party has been hemorrhaging support from working class supporters to an alarming degree.
I'll give them that.
I love this.
They go on to say, blah, blah, blah, blah, you know, $40 million in revenue.
What are they doing?
My friends, this is just one of the many ridiculous projects Democrats have to try and muster up some kind of support.
You know what really irks me, though, right now is I don't think anybody cares.
You know, it feels important to talk about.
I'll lay it out.
We'll go behind the scenes.
Tim Pool, script writing, production, blah, blah, blah.
I'm looking at the news, and I see a story about Sasquatch.
And it's clearly a fake video.
We did talk about it on Timcast IRL.
Why?
Because it's infinitely more interesting than telling everybody what everyone already knows.
The Democrats are a bunch of cringe losers that nobody wants to be associated with.
And so I'm looking at the story, and I'm like, well, you know, Kareem Jean-Pierre did leave, and like, it's political, I guess, what I should talk about.
I suppose I could say Trump is winning, but the people who expect Trump to win are not focused on this stuff.
So what is the value proposition of the Tim Pool Daily News show for all of you?
Part of me says we always need to be tackling the political issue of the day.
The other part of me is like, y 'all probably would care more if I talked about aliens and time travel at this point because we know.
We know.
I don't need to go in another half an hour.
Treatise over the failings of the Democratic Party and how they're miserable.
We get it.
And so I'm kind of bored.
You know what I mean?
At the same time, there's only so much to talk about with Trump because it's early.
We're trying to see what's going to happen.
What I will say, though, is, OK, OK, fine.
Maybe it's boring to say for the 800th time that Democrats are spiraling out of control if we don't remain vigilant.
However, what ends up happening?
They win the midterms.
So we'll just keep it up.
We'll keep it up.
And we'll keep hammering this story to make sure we have an idea of what's going on in the meantime, lest they do some weird stuff and we miss it.
So that's why I think it's worth talking about.
Democrats have these events.
The videos are going viral because nobody shows up.
They got Project Sam, Project Searchlight, Project Wildflower.
I am not kidding!
They actually have these three projects they're spending tens of millions of dollars on going like, why can't we attract people?
Where's the liberal Joe Rogan?
Oh boy, let's go.
I love ragging on David Pakman.
It's too easy, David.
Let me scroll down on his YouTube channel and show you one of his major successes in the last week.
I hope he deleted it.
No way, that's two weeks ago.
I went too far.
Where is it?
Oh, did he get rid of it?
Oh, no, there it is.
I'm preparing to leave the country.
1.5 million views.
Oh, boy.
I bet he made like $10,000 off that video.
For real.
It's just him.
I bet the video is him being like me and my wife are going on vacation.
But you know why people are watching it.
Look at this one.
Completely disoriented Trump visibly confused.
That's not even news.
It's like not even telling people a thing that's happening.
This is the current state of their liberal Joe Rogans.
Yo, who's he preaching to?
Nothing is being learned.
To be fair, this may actually be the path that we go in media.
Milo Yiannopoulos had a great tweet.
I gotta pull this one up.
Shout out to Milo.
unidentified
Huh?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
He called in saying you want to come on the show and then you just don't show up.
And Milo hit us up at the last minute asking if we had any openings.
We were like, yeah, come on down.
And he just never came.
So we're always interested in having Milo.
Let me see if I can pull up this tweet.
He's got a bunch of really great tweets.
I got to show you this one.
He tweeted, in practical terms, claims about the economy and the federal government are now adjacent to fairy stories and horoscopes.
I don't mind other people discussing them or daydreaming about them.
I choose not to.
He's right.
He's right.
I think this is where we're going.
Right now, Trump's like, we got to pass the big, beautiful bill.
And it's just like, I don't care.
Yes.
OK, whatever.
I want Trump to win.
I mean, if you were to talk to me, I'm going to break it down and give you some logical reasons.
I don't know everything that's in it.
I know there's bloat in it.
There's arguments over whether it'll increase the deficit, while others argue it will not.
Some are saying it's going to increase the trade deficit, or I'm sorry, the budget deficit by 2.5 trillion.
But others then say you're not factoring in the fact that we're overspending in other areas, and by securing the border and deportations, that's going to reduce the overspending because other areas will not be wasting that money.
Nobody knows!
So what do we get?
I mean, are we really going to sit here and I'm going to pull up a chair adorned in velvet, smoking a corncob pipe to discuss the latest shortcomings of the Federal Reserve and the interest rates, whether they should go up or down?
And then most people are going to be like, honestly, I don't know what it means when interest rates go up or down.
Yeah.
So then in reality, what are we left with?
Most people don't know.
That's why when liberals look for their Joe Rogan, They're going to pick someone like David Pakman.
And he's going to be like, the key is, take a screenshot of Trump, write, Trump is lame.
You know, like, Trump looks crazy.
He literally has a video where it's like, Trump press secretary has stroke on TV and it's got half a million views.
And a dude's getting paid.
But it's no surprise you're not winning elections.
Or actually, I take that back.
Maybe that actually would help him.
I don't know.
Maybe that's their mistake.
It's more like sophistry.
unidentified
Maybe they should just be like, huh, Trump is dumb.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
And then people go, huh, yeah, and they're going to vote.
Well, my friend, centrist Democrats are convinced they hold the answers to their party's problems.
At a conference put on by the centrist Welcome Pack, Democrats settled on strategy of taking fewer risks.
What are they doing?
Is this Project Searchlight or some stupid garbage?
Oh, man, Democrats are still staring down bleak polling numbers about their party's brand.
Even as President Donald Trump's favorability has also dropped.
The answer to Democrats' troubles at WelcomeFest, the moderate—are you kidding?
They got another one of these?
Purity tests are toxic.
Being unpopular on social media site Blue Sky is cool.
And winning again means running to the center.
unidentified
Okay?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
I'm not interested.
Y 'all are crackpot lunatics.
And you deserve the party you have.
unidentified
All right?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
I'll just tell you guys.
Try being authentic.
Try saying things that people can plainly see.
For me, there are a lot of people who are like, Tim, I disagree with you on your opinion on this matter, but that story, that's true, that did happen.
And so, like, let's talk about, like, the Glenn Greenwald thing, right?
You know, these weird videos leak of him doing God knows what.
Weird videos.
And Matt Walsh is saying like it's degenerate, it's immoral, he shouldn't have kids.
People are then coming out to defend Glenn Greenwald, and my response is...
You're allowed to criticize the debauchery.
You're allowed to praise the journalism.
Next question.
You want to overlap the two?
We can talk about that.
Some people had concerns about whether he was doing drugs.
The Democrats just play this game of party purity.
And then when they try to act like they're defying party purity, what do they do?
They just start swearing at people.
These people wouldn't know authentic if it smacked them in the butt.
Well.
I wish them the worst of luck.
I don't like these people.
And if there ever is a new Democratic Party, it's going to rely on, I don't know, some kind of insurgent takeover.
Even Bernie Sanders was too disingenuous.
So we'll see.
But my friends, we do have an interview coming up where I will be discussing this with Rich Lowry.
So smash that like button.
Share the show with everyone.
You know, that interview will be up at 4 p.m. at rumble.com slash timpool or youtube.com slash timcast.
These are different channels.
And I look forward to seeing you there.
Thanks for hanging out.
We'll see you all then.
But for everybody else, we're going to stick live and jump to this story from NBC News.
Fury and resignation around the world as Trump's travel ban comes roaring back.
Yeah, Trump's travel ban is probably popular, okay?
As if Trump cried national security and terrorism concerns and banning nationals largely from Africa and Asia, the reaction of those countries ranged from weariness to anger.
Don't know, don't care.
One of the areas where Trump is largely successful in terms of his approval rating is immigration.
Most people in this country are concerned about the terror attacks.
We just saw one with this crazy guy in Boulder, Colorado, and conservatives have been warning about this forever.
Joe Biden's open border policy, and not just physically at the border, but granting Right.
Temporary protected status to people who are overstaying visas.
This was creating a security risk where we were not vetting whether some people were extremists.
And now what do we get?
An extremist literally attacked a bunch of people, elderly people with Molotov cocktails.
So Trump says, OK, we're going to ban travel from these countries and restrict from these other countries.
What are we getting?
Liberals are feigning outrage.
Good luck, I guess.
This is a popular position.
Where will we end up?
Honestly.
I think the reality is it's just going to keep working out for Donald Trump.
This is going to help bolster his approval rating.
It makes him look like he's actually addressing issues people are concerned about.
And the Democrats are once again defending the bad guys on these issues.
Now we're going to be joined, of course, by I believe we've got Rich Lowry joining us.
So let me pull this up, make sure I get the audio squared away and loaded.
Looks like we are loaded up.
It's looking good.
And Rich, can you hear me?
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, I gotcha.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
All right.
How's it going, man?
How you doing?
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Not too bad, you?
I understand The Daily Show just went after you.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, The Daily Show did.
They pulled clips from, like, ten years—I'm not kidding, nine.
They have a clip of me from when I think I was, like, 28. And, you know, I was doing, like, a Patreon video for, like, 3,000 people.
Absolutely wild.
But, hey, I must be doing something right, I guess.
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
I first came across you when you were wandering around with a mic and all these protests.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
Well, that's one thing they tried doing.
They took a clip of me where I said, I'm on the ground bringing the news to you, which is nine years ago, and then likening it to my show now, which is more produced podcast stuff.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
But do you want to give people a quick introduction of the work that you do before we get started?
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, sure.
Rich Lowry, editor-in-chief, National U Magazine, columnist, write a syndicated column, appears very often in the New York Post.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
I'm curious, the big issue that I was talking about just now is, The party seems to be in free fall.
They're not popular.
Their brand is bad.
And I, you know, I'm kind of bored of it.
You know, at this point, it's been predicted.
We've watched.
Everybody knows.
But I'm curious your assessment on what you've been seeing.
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Well, look, I mean, this is absurd, right?
She was in on the conspiracy, right?
Taffer's book says the press people, they weren't on, you know, major insiders.
But I wasn't an insider.
You weren't an insider.
We knew what was happening, right?
You could see it with your own eyes.
It was the worst executed conspiracy in the history of America because no one believed the conspirators.
It doesn't mean they still weren't hiding stuff, right?
And it wasn't shameful what they were doing or trying to do.
I mean, the basic playbook was to gaslight everyone until the election.
Hope he wins and have him die or become senile in office and say, well, here we go.
Kamala Harris is president of the United States.
A shameful conspiracy against the American public and the American public interest.
This was a terrible thing.
Having a president who wasn't up for it and was just going to get more not up for it as time went on and have someone who wasn't elected take over.
It would have been terrible for the country.
And she was the front woman for this conspiracy.
So I have a lot of time for conversions.
If she wants to write a book saying, Dear God, I regret what I did.
This is why I did it.
I now realize it was wrong.
I hate the people who convinced me to do this.
You know, George Stephanopoulos sort of wrote a memoir like that after his time with Bill Clinton.
But to do this, to say politics is broken when you had a huge role in breaking it and aren't going to acknowledge it.
It's absurd and shameful.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
I mean, we're seeing this from a bunch of news organizations as well.
I mean, Jake Tapper, of course.
How could anyone have missed this?
You were on TV every night claiming that people were mocking his stutter, that he was well.
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
It drives me nuts.
And kind of the epicenter of it was that George Clooney fundraiser in Hollywood, right?
One, they had to have Obama because they had to have like a real live person on stage with Biden.
So at least half the presenters were with it.
We all pointed that out at the time.
And then Biden clearly froze up on the stage doing a wave.
We have never seen a normal president of the United States just freeze.
And then he has to get guided offstage by Barack Obama, which we've also never seen that happen with another president.
And Obama, whatever else you think about him, has some physical grace.
So he's able to pull it off very well.
But those are three data points.
We all knew him.
We all saw him.
And they lied to us.
They tried to lie to us about what we were seeing with their own eyes.
And everyone there at the fundraiser knew it.
Turns out George Clooney, shocked at Biden's state.
Biden doesn't recognize him.
Jon Favreau, I think it is, I get the Obama bros confused, said everyone in the room shocked.
His wife said, "What are we going to do?
How possibly is this going to work?" It's like, "I don't know." And everyone on their table had the same conversation.
and they told us we were crazy when we said he froze up and we saw it on camera and something's wrong.
And then only after the debate, You know, this is what was going on.
Well, thanks a lot, guys.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
One of my favorite tweets, X post, whatever, was there's that Trump reply guy.
I'm not going to say his name, but he tweets, Joe Biden's going to run on stage, grab a water bottle, chug it, slam it on the table and say, sup, bitch.
And then after the debate, he said, what did I just watch?
I feel like.
Yeah, I think there's a lot of older people who are just watching, say, like CNN or MSNBC that lived in that narrative reality, and then they saw the truth.
But I guess the issue now is, we're in the Trump era.
Trump's popularity is growing, despite the fact the polls seemingly make no sense because some have him minus 11 and some have him plus 13, which is weird.
Well, as long as we look at the aggregate, he's at minus 2.3 right now, which is really good.
Even YouGov has him slowly improving, and they call this the slow return of Trump's popularity.
The Democratic brand is tarnished.
People think there are no strong leaders.
KGP quits the party.
Many others—I mean, we can rag on Axios or CNN or these other outlets that claimed they couldn't tell that Biden was sick.
But either way, people are waking up, and they're losing confidence in that party.
And once party loyalists are turning their back— Do you have a prediction of where this goes into 2026 or what happens to the Democratic Party?
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
So I think the advantage they have, Tim, is that in a midterm election, when the other party controls all elected branches of Washington, you usually do well no matter what.
I emphasize the no matter what.
So that's what they have to go on, is no matter what.
They'll probably take the House, right?
It's hard to imagine they won't pick up two or three net seats.
That's just not a lot in historic terms.
And they can probably do that without having figured anything out and being as pathetic as they are now, even though Trump's Trump's approval rating is ticking back up.
To my surprise, after the tariffs first came out, polls went down.
I was like, now he's in a different phase.
But he's ticked back up to his to his credit.
Then they got to figure it out in 28. Right.
That's the big question, because you need someone who's compelling, who's interesting, who's different, who has a different theory of the case.
no one wins the presidency by running the conventional play Maybe Biden's a slight exception in 2020, but a lot of other stuff was going on, confounding variables in 2020.
And they need someone who just seems reasonable, right?
Who's not into this woke stuff, who can say, no, boys shouldn't compete against girls in sports.
And yes, we should have a sealed border and all the rest of it.
But can they do that?
Will they do that?
That I don't know.
And that's the huge, huge question facing them.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Well, I think, like you were mentioning early on, The Daily Show made a video about me, and it's just like, why?
Do they really—they have nothing on their side in terms of media and personality to promote.
They—I think, you know, the reason I bring that up is I consider myself still to be, like, a traditional liberal.
And growing up, as much as liberals, conservatives— Conservatives disagreed.
We all got along.
I mean, you know, my parents were liberal and conservative, but it wasn't that big of a difference.
Now you have this very stark divide.
And I think the issue they're taking, probably why they rag on me, is because you've got Tulsi Gabbard, you've got RFK Jr., you've got Elon Musk, you've got Donald Trump himself, you've got people like me and all of those other people who consider themselves to be liberal but now are like, I'll take Trump because y'all are nuts.
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
If they're going to rebuild brand – Not just me, but like Tulsi, who they've been after for years.
I just don't know how they convince a new generation to attach themselves to a brand that doesn't have any genuine personality or policy or anything like that.
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, so you know the stick figure diagram for this phenomenon, right?
I think Colin Wright came up with it on X, right?
And Elon, you're the stick figure, right?
You're the stick figure.
You're someone who's in the middle of the two parties, broadly conceived, and then the Democrats go way to the left, and wait a minute, now you're right of center.
How did that happen?
Because they went crazy.
You're a part of this phenomenon, Glenn Greenwald, Elon, Bill Maher.
Now, you know, Maher's never going to be pro-Trump.
He's changed his tune a little bit, or his tone, since that meeting in the White House.
But people who realize the left has gone insane and also...
We're talking about it right now.
There's a reason they're going after you.
And have a more liberal attitude towards debate and discussion and think it should be more freewheeling.
So now you guys are with us over on the right, but it's not really what you're doing.
It wasn't something you sent out deliberately to do.
The whole context and environment change.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
But they're inauthentic, right?
So, you know, there was this article, I think it was, I don't know, it might have been Newsweek.
Or no, I think it was Politico.
The centrist Democrats are trying to take control of the party, make their case.
The problem is these quote-unquote centrist Democrats are still inauthentic fake people.
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
You parade them out and it's like, listen, you lied to us about Joe Biden.
You are party loyalists.
You are not centrists.
I don't see how they find a charismatic leader who's going to attract—look, let's be real.
There is nobody on the Democratic side who right now could convince me to vote for a Democrat.
Who else are they going to try and get?
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
So what they try to do— Maybe three out of the last three times, certainly two out of the last three times, was control the process, right?
So no one serious could run against Hillary.
They didn't consider Bernie serious.
He ended up being much more serious than they thought in 2016.
But the deck was stacked in Hillary Clinton's favor.
And she was just a terrible person.
You know, if you can stack the deck for someone, don't do it for her.
2020, you know, they stack it for Biden, kind of.
I mean, it was a competitive process, and he lost the first couple primaries and actually seemed dead.
And the water comes back.
He works for them.
But in 2024, no one could run against him, right?
It was stacked in the favor of an old senile man with, like, approval ratings of 40% or below.
A disastrous choice.
And then they don't have time or they didn't want to do it.
I thought it was too risky for an open process to be his replacement.
So they choose poorly yet again.
And the thing is, if you actually have an open process, you got to go out.
You've got to connect with voters, and unpredictable things happen, and voters value authenticity.
A party establishment does not necessarily value authenticity.
Hillary wasn't authentic, Kamala wasn't authentic, but voters do.
So that's why you get Trump, right?
He comes in 2016, total interloper, total outsider, finds something that other Republicans aren't onto, and he's totally real, right?
And we saw the power of this.
And 24, with going on podcasts, doesn't need a script, doesn't need to prepare beforehand, doesn't need the questions to be fed to him.
He can just go on and be himself.
McDonald's, he can go to the takeout window, wear his suit, and just throw a McDonald's apron over it and be himself.
And it works.
So that's what happens when you have small d democratic politics, but the Democratic Party short-circuited that several times now to their own detriment.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
I think all they have, this is funny, all they have is orange man bad.
Do you choose the meme?
With Trump's approval rating increasing, this likely indicates that regular voters are looking at what he's doing and they like what he's doing, especially in immigration.
What ends up happening is these liberal personalities, they don't actually have a fact basis by which to oppose Trump.
So let's take a look at, you know, he just did this travel ban, 12 countries.
What is the logical argument to say that what he did was egregious and wrong?
You might argue maybe it's bad for relations with that country, but what we end up seeing is these liberals, these personalities come out and act like Trump is literally Hitler for doing this.
I think regular people are going to look at it and they're going to be like, I honestly don't care.
So all they're proposing is whatever Trump does, it's bad.
But what happens to a party when people actually like what Trump is doing?
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
So on the travel ban, people tend to forget.
He got dinged the first two times with his travel ban the first term on process grounds.
Then when they fixed it, the third time they go up to the Supreme Court and they win, right?
And they've taken on board the information how it went the first time.
This one is going to be, I haven't looked at it closely, but I expect to be more carefully done, is going to withstand court challenge.
Ultimately, it'll prevail in the Supreme Court, whatever a crazy district court judge does.
And yeah, it can affect your relations with these countries, but how much relationship do we have with Somalia or Afghanistan or with Haiti?
And I think the White House fact sheet was very compelling.
If you have visa overstay rates from these countries, 50 percent or above, you're If you give them a visa, you're just letting them come to the United States and stay forever more.
Now, if we want to do that, fine.
You know, Congress can pass a law saying everyone in Haiti wants to come, gets to come, and they stay forever.
But we don't have that law.
That law wouldn't make sense.
And that's what we're not going to do that.
So it's fine letting Canadians in because, by and large, they're going to go home.
But you let in someone from Afghanistan.
I have a lot of sympathy for Afghans.
I've lived a nightmare, hellish nightmare for decades.
But they're going to stay.
So that's a mockery of the visa program, and that's why it makes sense to cut it off.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
And so my point is largely the only argument against it is a light maybe, right?
Like I mentioned, maybe it's bad for relations.
That's still not a strong argument against the national security interest Trump has brought up.
With immigration being basically his number one issue, you need to convince voters.
To vote against those policies.
The only thing they do is say, oh, well, Trump's a fascist.
It's like, give me a policy.
They don't have anything.
unidentified
Right.
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, this is something, immigration, that largely, if they're just considering their own political interest, Democrats, they should just concede on.
They should say, yeah, Biden had a de facto open border that was very bad for our country, bad for big cities and big city mayors.
A lot of them were complaining at the time.
Never should have happened.
The border is now sealed.
Good.
Keep it that way.
It's bad for gang members to be in here.
Let's get every single one of them out of here and make sure there's no policy to let them in ever again.
People overstaying visas is wrong.
It's illegal.
If it's just a conduit, visa overstays for this country, let's shut it down from this country.
And then you can argue about the kind of legal immigration we can have, or maybe an amnesty for people who've been here a long time.
But they have no credibility.
disagree with, but is reasonable.
Most people are just going to figure out there they go again.
They're in favor of illegal immigrants.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Right.
You know, it's funny.
I think that their only actual path towards victory would be to bring a person up there, you know, on the stage who just says, yeah, Trump's right about everything.
He's just kind of a dick.
And then people would like, you're going to capture the...
It is unreasonable to hate Trump.
Unreasonably.
I mean, I do not see a logical argument for hating Donald Trump.
I can understand someone saying I disagree with him.
I can understand when libertarians are like, look, his policy here is bad and I don't like this.
But you don't hate him.
So the challenge for Democrats is going to be how do you even try to say Trump is right about immigration without also irrationally hating the guy and sounding like you're just inauthentic?
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, so – I would say he does genuinely offend a lot of people.
So I think the strategy of calling him a dick and saying he's in favor of the rich no matter what he says would make much more sense than what they're doing now.
There's just still the holding to the left.
I mean, there's just been little signs, right?
Occasionally you'll get some senator on Meet the Press saying, oh, yeah, yeah, Biden shouldn't have done that at the border.
You get Gavin on his podcast saying, oh, it's not fair for guys to compete against girls.
But these are just real small concessions.
Or with the Biden stuff we started talking about with KJP, yeah, I should have dropped out sooner.
But none of them will just actually rip the Band-Aid off and tell the truth about these issues and get in a much more reasonable place.
We're used to being called names like that by such organizations, right?
You probably encounter it every single day.
They're not.
It freaks them out.
They can't handle it.
And that's why they end up kowtowing to the positions of these folks, even if they don't agree with them themselves or truth serum would say, maybe we shouldn't do this.
They're too scared to break with them.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, I've been thinking about it.
I wonder if the issue for Democrats was that there's a huge bifurcation between generations in how they consumed media and how they viewed the world.
So they're trying to balance this old-school establishment kind of Democratic Party, which is, say, the Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi, with this new progressive AOC type, but they hate each other.
So you try and bring policies forward that the American people largely like.
You know, two to one, restrict the border.
The younger generation is pro-open borders.
We had Nick Shirley, this reporter, in Minneapolis, the FBI was doing a drug raid, or I think it was a human trafficking and drug bust, and leftist protesters were trying to obstruct the arrest.
Now, if you go on a debate stage and say, we're going to support our FBI as they stop these human traffickers, almost everyone's going to agree.
And then the weirdo progressive left are going to be like, boo.
If the Democrats try to go the moderate route, I feel like they'll lose 8-10% of the vote and they can't win.
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
So let me ask you, Tim.
So on authenticity, you're a good judge of this.
Do you consider AOC authentic?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
No way.
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Why not?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Well, when she first ran, she was very much in the pro-Hamas.
I'm sorry, that's a little hard.
The pro-Palestine side, anti-Israel side.
And then once she gets elected, she goes, actually, I don't know a whole lot about it.
Instantly gets caught up on that.
She also lied about January 6th.
What I would say is if you don't actually follow the news, you might consider her to be more authentic just because she's a better personality.
But for someone who follows the news, you're like, she's full of it.
She's just lying, which to be fair is a lot of politicians, but she comes off as less plastic than most of the Democrats, but still fairly plastic.
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
So, again, my take is they need to have an open process, and they need to be open to someone coming in and disrupting it who they don't know or they're not comfortable with.
Again, this happened with Republicans in 2016.
That's how you get something new.
That's how you get something authentic.
That's how you get maybe someone who figures out some of these issues we're talking about.
But if the establishment keeps controlling it the way they have, it's going to be continued futility.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
I don't think there is a single Democrat who could actually run 2028 right now.
I don't know if you agree or disagree.
Do you see somebody where you're like, maybe?
Don't say new someone.
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Gavin has an authenticity problem.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Right.
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
He's talented in a lot of ways, though.
He's talented.
More fearless than a lot of the rest of them, right?
He'll have Steve Bannon or Charlie on his podcast.
He'll go on Fox News.
He'll debate with DeSantis.
But even if he was authentic, he looks inauthentic, right?
And he's not authentic.
And he's a California progressive.
And he'd have to kind of run in the middle.
And I don't see how it's going to work.
Jack Shapiro?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, maybe.
But I think the problem is he's Jewish.
And there is a wing of the Democratic Party that, although many of them try to purport that it's actually about Zionism and Israel, they're just, they hate Jews.
I think that was the calculus with why they chose not to have him as VP.
What I had read was that Dearborn, Michigan, largely Muslim, would not vote for a ticket with a Jewish man on it.
Nothing personal, very religious, and they could potentially lose a state, so they opted for Tim Walz instead.
This is the problem with the hyper segmentation.
Yeah.
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
I mean, speaking of authenticity, Walt is such a great example of this, right?
So they figured because he wears plaid shirts, he's going to appeal to men, you know, rural men.
The guy can't handle a shotgun, right?
He's sort of an urban person's ideal of a rural person.
I mean, it was ridiculous and a complete doofus.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
I think maybe – maybe – It felt like when he did that bit where he was like, I eat tacos without seasoning on it.
It's like, what are you talking about?
Gordon Ramsay is a white guy.
Emeril Lagasse bams his food.
What do you mean you're not putting pepper on your tacos?
That was ridiculously inauthentic.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
And then what they did with him, you see that bit where he said he could code talk to white guys?
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
It was funny.
I was debating this liberal woman.
And she mentioned code switching, and I said, what is code switching?
And she's like, you know, like, in the black community, they speak one way, but then when they want to talk to white people, they code switch.
And I was like, yeah, conservatives don't do that.
Conservatives just talk the same way to everybody.
Liberals don't get this because they change the way they talk depending on who they're talking to.
That probably is their biggest inauthenticity problem.
But let me switch it around.
The Republicans got a lot of talent, but when Trump leaves, who do you think steps up?
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
I have no idea.
unidentified
So these are totally speculative thoughts.
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Make of them what you will.
But broadly speaking, right, successful presidency, J.D. has a huge advantage.
Failed presidency, J.D.'s going to have a hard time.
So J.D., I think, is hugely impressive, right?
In the campaign, he went on basically any interview show.
He never got cornered.
He very often cornered his interviewer.
Maybe like two missteps the entire campaign.
He's so smart and in-depth.
He's very good at this.
The question is, when he's alone on the stage, does he have that performative?
That is absolutely essential.
This is a key X factor with Trump.
So does J.D. have enough of it?
I don't know.
I think that's an open question.
But I think it'll be a big field.
You'll probably have DeSantis running.
You'll have Cruz running.
Various other senators running.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Rubio, probably.
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
What's that?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
I'd imagine Rubio.
Do you think Rubio?
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
Once you've done it, once you have that bug, it doesn't go away.
So clearly, he's thinking about it.
So it could be a big field, and I'm so bad at predicting these things, you know, even two months out.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
I hesitate to say anything about 28. You know, I actually have a lot of confidence in it being J.D. Vance, simply because in the Republican primary, with the DeSantis v.
Trump crowd fighting each other, it was pretty brutal.
A lot of the view was that DeSantis is a proven governor, he's got a great state, he's done tremendous things there, and he's got the decorum Trump does not.
Whereas the Trump base thought DeSantis was too weak.
He didn't have the charisma.
The weird shoe thing was a fiasco.
I look at J.D. Vance and I feel like he combines both worlds.
He's so far so good with Trump administration.
He's got political history.
But you're right.
If there is a successful presidency with Trump, J.D. Vance, I feel, could do even better as he's got the decorum.
He's got authentic personality.
He's got the policies.
He seems to fit.
I look at the Democrat side and I'm like, they've got maybe a year to figure out who they're going to start putting up in these media positions to get ready for a primary, and I don't know how they muster it.
I'm baffled.
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Maybe they're just cooked.
Yeah, so I can see J.D. works on paper, but again, you've got to go out and do it and prove it.
And there's the added element of, so he's the clear successor to Trump, you just think, right?
At this.
Speaking at this hour, but does Trump think there's a successor to Trump, right?
Is Trump going to be kind of pissed at the idea that there's someone who thinks he's a successor at Trump?
Now, I think J.D. is extremely deft and he'll handle this relationship in the right way.
But that's going to be very interesting.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Maybe we're wrong.
There was this—who was it?
Barbara F. Walter.
Do you know who she is?
She's this former CIA analyst who's predicted civil war in the United States.
And she's now saying that Trump will incite an international war so that he can force a third term for himself.
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
I don't think he's very interested in international war.
Right.
All the things you can say about Trump.
He's not a warmonger.
So I would say that's the first flaw in the theory.
There's a couple others.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
I would just say that if I was going to make a bet, I would not go with the historically unprecedented first and probably just say the VP runs.
But I suppose we'll see.
I do appreciate you coming on to talk with me about all these issues.
Where can people find out more from you or your organization?
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Well, nationalreview.com, and also I should mention I'm the host of a podcast called The Editors, a roundtable we do twice a week, so you can find that wherever you listen to your podcast, The Editors.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼

Well, Rich, thanks so much for hanging out, and we'll see you next time.
rich lowry ▲ ● ▼
Appreciate it.
It's been a pleasure.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Likewise.
Take care.
All right.
Always fun.
That was The National Review.
They're great.
It's funny, in conservative media, there's the MAGA populist type, and they'll get mad at the National Review for their opinions, and then, you know, it is what it is.
I think so long as you're not pretending that Joe Biden is competent during the Biden presidency, we can get along.
I have no problem disagreeing with you guys, be it liberal, conservative, or otherwise, so long as you aren't lying to me.
Come to me and tell me that, you know, it's funny, I met this communist guy in Berkeley.
And I said, he's wearing a mask.
He's got a sickle and hammer.
He's got literature.
And I said, oh, so you're a communist.
He's like, yeah, yeah.
And then I said, what do you think about the Antifa people, the violent ones?
He's like, man, it's really bad.
It's bad for us.
And I said, really?
You think it's bad?
He goes, yeah, man.
You're not supposed to be hurting people and attacking them.
We're supposed to be working together.
We're supposed to be united to make the world better.
And I was like, yes, I agree.
And he's like, they shouldn't be doing it.
And I was like, okay, buddy.
I shook his hand.
I said, dude, you're allowed to be a communist.
You're allowed to be wrong.
Let's just not be violent about it.
And there is the challenge, though, because I understand.
They say you can vote your way into communism, but you've got to shoot your way out.
That's the saying, right?
But I can respect a conversation with someone when we disagree on the function of an economy or government, so long as we agree to be honest and not mercilessly beat people in the streets.
That's a bare minimum, right?
My friends...
Seriously, Gavin Newsom, it seems like he's the guy.
I don't know who else has that level, but he ain't all that good.
I suppose we'll see.
My friend, smash that like button.
Share the show with everyone you know.
We're going to be gearing up to raid our friend Jeremy Hambly, who I believe is the quartering, who is getting ready to go live.
Let me pull up his stream here.
As he is ramping things up and about to launch in about two minutes.
Don't forget, like I said, to smash that like button.
You can go to casperu.com.
Timcast IRL tonight!
Drew Hernandez is going to be joining us.
Don't miss it at 8pm.
And I really do mean it.
Guys, the most important thing you can do is just sharing the content.
Go to any big marketing company, any podcast, whatever, and there's two things you can't That's the algorithm.
Why is MrBeast getting 100 million views?
Simply, YouTube has decided to let him.
That's it.
The algorithm changes from time to time, and the fact that he's on the front page all the time means they like it.
He's safe.
He works with them.
It's family-friendly.
What else could you ask for, right?
The other big factor, though, that can break the algorithm is sharing content.
We still have that power for now.
Hopefully, we retain that power.
I'll gear up this raid for all of you guys, so you can go hang out with Jeremy over at the Quartering for this Rumble.
Make sure you subscribe and download the Rumble app if you haven't, because that will send you notifications when the live show starts.
So, download the Rumble app, make sure you subscribe to this channel on Rumble, and then when we go live, they actually tell you.
It's pretty fantastic, right?
Do the same for Timcast IRO.
Alright everybody, thank you so much for hanging out.
