So the Elon Musk guy, right? He sends in these Doge fellers into USAID and other government agencies and starts gutting the funding for what seems to go to a lot of these weird NGOs. We speculate much of this funding was probably circulating in Loudoun County and just outside of D.C. and Maryland. Then we get this other really big story. Lee Zeldin, now in the EPA, says they've uncovered a $375 billion slush fund run by John Podesta. This is a Democrat guy. And that there were some nonprofits that just got started within a month. One month later, they received a $7 billion grant from the government. They've since frozen this money.

At the same time, there are searches all over D.C. for criminal lawyer, fraud, and I'll be light here, but let's just call it self-harm. People are deeply worried in these areas for some reason. A big story popped up yesterday. ActBlue, the subject of, let's just say, scrutiny among Republicans and investigators, people like James O'Keefe. ActBlue is the fundraising machine for Democrats. James O'Keefe uncovered over the past several years instances where elderly individuals had reportedly made hundreds of thousands of donations they couldn't possibly have made. Questions arose around how is it that ActBlue was claiming these things are legitimate, actually facilitating these payments? I mean, some retiree couldn't have spent $700,000 in one year doing 17 donations per day.

That makes no sense. Now, we don't know exactly what's going on. We are waiting for the results of that investigation. In the meantime, while all of this Doge stuff is happening, it may just be totally unrelated. But the New York Times runs a story about how ActBlue is facing an in facing internal chaos and is struggling to continue losing several seven specifically top officials. Instantly instantly the Internet erupts with theories that this money, these slush funds that were making these weird donations were effectively running a circuitous money laundering scheme, which, let's just say, somehow found its way into the pockets

of the ActBlue system to Democrat politicians. I am not saying that's true. I'm not saying we know for sure. I'm saying basically that's the degree of speculation we're seeing because all of this is going on at the same time. I think that's important. Disclaimer. We're going to take a look at the story and a bunch of other news stories. And we got one that's really interesting. Apparently, AOC had employed an illegal immigrant and they've since fled the country. So this is actually pretty interesting. And then you've got you got a few other stories, but you have the big push from Ben Shapiro and The Daily Wire to get Derek Chauvin pardoned at the federal level. Trump has responded, saying, I haven't heard this. And that was it.

Yet, strangely, the media is running a narrative about Derek Chauvin, despite the fact that Trump hasn't engaged with it. And they're claiming Trump has issued a verdict on whether he will or he won't saying he wouldn't. But Trump never said anything. So we'll talk about that and a bunch of other stuff, my friends, before we get started, make sure you go to cast brew dot com by delicious cast brew coffee. Where's Ian's graphene dream at right now? My God, he sold 500 bags of coffee this week. And you know what it is? It's because I just did that because I look at the number and I'm like, how did he sell 500 bags? And then people hear that and they're like, I better buy it before it runs out. I know. But legit, Ian's Graphene Dream at Casperoo.com.

Ian's making bank. I'll just put it that way. You guys are putting him through college. You know he needs it. But you can also check out Appalachian Nights, which to be fair, sells comparably. Sells comparably. Actually, I'm pretty sure the Appalachian Knights is ahead of Ian's Graphene. I think that's actually based on sales. So I think Appalachian Knights is probably still selling better than Graphene Dream, but I'm pretty sure Graphene Dream is going to overtake it very soon. Don't forget to also go to Rumble Premium.

conversation with Dr. Malone and Del Bigtree after we wrapped the Culture War show this morning about the next big play that's going to hit the media in the next couple of years. And the gist of it was I outlined the tactics being employed right now and the errors being made on our side of the media battle that will ultimately end up with mass bannings and will get us shut down. So the people who think the free speech battle is over because Trump won, because Mark Zuckerberg made these statements, I'm telling you you're wrong and we'll get into this. We will. My response was Rumble has to win. So go to Tim Cast Premium dot com. It'll automatically redirect you to Rumble Premium to sign up. And we've got the Green Room podcast.

And I don't understand why we're not seeing action. And I'm going to say that because I want to make sure I get the full context. I can't just it's basically having to do with how these YouTubers are selling ads. And when as it pertains to the FDA.

We hung out on the couch today in between shows. Got to stay there, and she was making gurgling sounds. It was enjoyable. Yeah, and once they start moving and talking, it's not as fun, but... Well, man, thanks for hanging out. It's going to be fun. We got Brett hanging out.

Guys, it is Brett. Normally on Pop Culture Crisis, Monday through Friday at 3 p.m. Let's talk about politics. Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary. Let's go. Here's the story from The New York Times. Act Blue, the Democratic fundraising powerhouse, faces internal chaos. At least seven senior officials have left the group, setting off deep concerns about its future as it confronts scrutiny from congressional Republicans. I'll say two things to start.

The first, there is a theory that with the gutting of USAID and other federal funds, a lot of these grants, especially the EPA slush fund that Lieselden uncovered, a lot of this money is believed by many, whether or not there's any veracity to this, that it was funneling around NGOs and finding its way into the pockets of Democrat politicians. That may or may not be the case at any rate. The other thing to consider is definitively ActBlue, which is the Democrats fundraising arm, is in chaos, indicating a very, very let's just put it this way. The likelihood that they're able to muster up any forces in the midterms is is decreasing, especially when we're learning that the mechanism they use to raise money is under fire. And then I'll say this on Fox News today.

It was, I believe, Cassie Hunt who asked Tim. I believe it was Tim Waltz, one of the best questions I've seen anybody ask the Democrats in recent memory. She said, who's the current leader of the Democratic Party? And you know what Walt said? The American voting public. And she made a face. And I said, whoa. And then I stopped and thought about it. I want to ask you guys this right now and everybody listening who is the leader of the democratic party i think you asked that question like one or two times ago when i was here and i i had no idea i think hakeem jeffrey seems like the most reasonable like we were talking about how before hold on hold on i'm

sorry sorry i gotta pause you not who is projected to be literally right now. Like we know the head of the Republican Party is Donald Trump. Well, even like even before Trump did his address to Congress, right, and Hakeem Jeffries asked everyone, he's like, please don't bring props. Please don't bring props and make a fool out of yourself on national television. And then they all went and did that. It's like, he was the only person who had a sane thought in the matter. But so the question, I believe the answer is there isn't one. Yeah. Yep. And, and I disagree.

You think there's a leader? Who did Henry Kissinger say is the perfect person to usher in the new world order? Don't know who. Barack Obama. I think that's what I said. Honestly, that's what I said last night.

Barack Obama running the show. And I'm going to disagree. said. Honestly, that's what I said last night. Barack Obama running the show. And I'm going to disagree. Okay. When Obama was president, it was not abject chaos. Things weren't falling apart. Act Blue wasn't crumbling. There was no mixed messaging. The Democrats obstructing the State of the Union, not State of the Union, was a gift to Republicans.

So unless Obama's plan is, I'm going to make the Republicans more powerful, then he's not a leader of the Democrats. And if he actually is running the show, he's the poorest leader we've ever seen, which flies in the face of when he was actually president. Isn't it weird how we – oh, go ahead. You can argue he was – My theory is that they bombed the last election on purpose because I don't believe in two parties. I know it's a uniparty. You can't pull the wool over my eyes. But my theory is that they are actually burning down the Democratic Party to make the right-wing party stronger to bring about a different type of fascism.

Maybe. And these sweeping changes and you're starting to see the technocracy, et cetera, et cetera. Let's read this tweet from Charlie Kirk. He says, The New York Times's read this tweet from Charlie Kirk. He says, The New York Times reports that ActBlue is in turmoil. Mysteriously, seven top executives have all left in the past three weeks, several of whom had all been there more than a decade. None of them will explain on the record why they left.

The last remaining lawyer at ActBlue's general counsel's office has been locked out of his email and put on leave after sending internal messages that, quote, we have whistleblower policies for a reason. Two unions representing ActBlue employees are openly questioning the group's stability and call the situation alarming. They're demanding the hiring of an independent investigator. More than $16 billion has passed through ActBlue in the past 20 years. What could they possibly be hiding?

Well, we've got a couple stories to give examples. We have this. From October of 2024, Treasury finds hundreds of transactions linked to fundraising platform ActBlue flagged by banks, GOP memo. Interesting, but I don't know that so. Then we have this from the Daily Signal. Where does the money come from? Elderly Democrats say donations made in their name aren't genuine.

From January 8th, 2025. Now, this story actually goes back quite a bit when James O'Keefe exposed numerous instances where individuals were making some what five to 10 donations per day of 20 to 25 dollars to the tune of hundreds of thousands for the year. That made no sense. The signal says 18 registered Democrats in Connecticut all over the age of 70 appear to have donated one point nine million dollars to Democratic causes, including Act Blue, through hundreds of thousands of small donations from 2016 to 24. According to a review of the F of FEC filings by Dominic Rapini, a cybersecurity company, CEO and former Connecticut Republican candidate for office. Curious about the donation patterns. Rapini tracked down some of the Connecticut residents and asked them if they really did make thousands of small donations, sometimes multiple in a day through ActBlue. Several of the supposed donors told Rapini they did not make any of the reported donations, nor did they know

anything about how their names were being used. An 88-year-old retired Yale University professor, for example, supposedly made 7,539 donations for a total of $213,163, according to FEC records. After Rapini informed him about the significant donations in his name, he signed an affidavit saying, quote, I believe this does not reflect my donation frequency or dollars I have donated. Now, I'll just say this. The story goes on. James O'Keefe uncovered something very similar, if not the exact same, but just in different places. Cash Patel and Pam Bondi, this should be their target right now. If you've got a man signing a sworn affidavit, I did not make these donations, then you've got money laundering going on. And that's a fact.

Is there not a way for them federally to look into the bank accounts tied to who made the donation because obviously the name is attached but if the name attached doesn't correspond with the bank account is there a way to check into that i think uh maybe this is why act well the theory is and this is all just opinion i have no idea act blue is crumbling because with a new doj in town, namely a Kash Patel, the people at Act Blue are running as fast as they can. But you don't think so. You think it's one big machine. Well, I think some of the stuff you said is absolutely spot on. Right. So when we're dealing with the Democrats, it's going to be a lot of fall guys. Yep. OK. a lot of people are going to go down who had orders from somebody else.

And, you know, Sharon, Lisa, Tanisha is going to take the blame. We saw that happen in New Jersey. Was it New York? Some dude goes down for, you know, some scammy stuff that Democrats are doing with the votes, et cetera, et cetera. But at the end of the day, you know, I understand how the world works. OK, I understand how the Western empire works. OK. There is a pendulum that swings from left to right. OK. And we've seen this time and time again throughout history. OK. The left has gotten way too strong. It's gotten way too out of hand. People are pushing back against the leftist style, you know, the trans stuff, all of that stuff. Right.

So what happens? You swing things back to the right. Now, I saw this happening because you saw the media started to come in a little bit more centered. I don't know if you guys know that, but. Well, even Jeff Bezos, he's getting the Washington Post to open up opinion columns about free markets, things like that. Even though the fact that Bezos and Zuckerberg have historically were going very much the other direction when the winds were blowing the other direction. Right. And then you got Zuckerberg coming out. He dressing like a rapper now. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. You can't fool me. So you start and all these guys are popping up, you know, next to Trump, et cetera, et cetera.

So we're starting to see this swing to the right. And there's a lot of assistance that's happening from the Democratic Party to help that move along. You saw the cannon, Jay Reid, Joanne Reid, I call her Jay Reid, got rid of her and they brought the new black lady in there. She's way more centered and, you makes more sense is not so fringe you got steven a smith steven a smith is doing he's got a huge contract extension with the uh addition of allowing him to talk about politics don't you think that the the swing of the voters has has an effect on this like i i feel like the the results the election, considering how many counties went for Republicans versus how many went for Democrats, which is I think I don't think they picked up any counties. I think the Republicans picked up something like 20 counties nationwide or something like that. And, you know, winning the House and winning the Senate.

Don't you think that that has an effect on why they're doing this? Yeah, but I mean, can you give the voters that much credit when you got a dead body as a president? And an idiot as the person that ran and she didn't even get the votes to run. They just installed her and said, oh, you're going to be the nominee.

There was no... If it was something that it was... There was no competition is my point. There was no. Well, if it was if it was something that it was. There was no competition is my point. There was no competition. It was there was the Democrats had nothing. Yeah, but I don't I don't think that that's because I don't think that's that's by by design. I think that they didn't have any leaders that were actually compelling to run. That's why they went with Biden.

Well, they didn't go with Biden. They got rid of biden i mean after the primary and all that and then they installed kamala i mean that was a terrible idea yes it was what i'm saying is that's why they went with biden in uh 2020 because they didn't have someone that was a standout leader that was clearly going to beat donald trump well i think they got biden because they could get uh he was familiar he was already in the white house you can get the obamas to get behind him the black vote wasn't going nowhere because they already knew it was biden that's their guy but doesn't that imply that that's the vote that's doing it and not like yes but the vote

can be manipulated not only through the act blue stuff right but the voting can be manipulated just based upon perception if you take somebody like kamala harris and you run her and they ask her a very simple question you know what could you have done better this is a question you get when you apply for mcdonald's you gotta be ready to answer that question and she can't answer that question when they ask you and say, yo, what's up with the president's mental health? And you sit up there, you lie. Everybody knows there's something wrong with the dude's brain. So you get up there and you lie.

You can give the voters some credit, but nobody's actually going to vote for that. Real quick, I got to be honest. If when they ask Kamala on The View, they're like, what would you have done differently if she legit said, I think I would have kept the fries in the fryer for about 20 seconds longer? I'd be like, that's an answer. Instead, she's like, nothing. Nothing. You can't do that. They have no introspection whatsoever, which is why things keep falling off a cliff.

Yeah, I agree with that. That's why I feel like they just threw the fight. I agree. I think It's my, I mean, that's why I feel like, you know, they just threw the fight. Yeah. I agree. I think they threw the fight. I think. I still think they would have won if they just ran Biden brain dead and all. I don't think so.

There was people that like before the election, there were people the day before Googling, like, is Joe Biden still running? If they had, look, if they had the votes, they wouldn't have the disarray they have now we if they if they had there's two factors okay the the prices of things that i see three factors the prices of things the dead body in the white house and a fake black lady one two three you out of here we did talk about this on the show when we were asking why are they running with biden why are they running with kamala right and one of the potential scenarios was they know they can't win no matter what they do correct so they're saying don't waste any potential you know lineup we would have in the next 10 years throw out a dead body and just see what we get right wait so then why don't you if they don't think they can win with Biden, why don't they

just keep running him? Well, here's the thing. The reason why they ran Kamala is because of celebrity influence in the black community. They were like, if we can pretend that she's black, then we can put on a fake facade of a campaign. And they went super hard with it right away. And they went super hard with it. They got the booty shaker twerking on stage and all of that stuff. So they were able to get some of that celebrity. BET for the first time held a Black Men

Summit. BET, I can't remember the last time they cared about Black Men. They held a Black Men Summit. I'm like, what is this? Not only that, to address what you said, why would they switch out Biden? They put Kamala on the national stage and propped up for Democrats. And now there's potential, there's rumors she's going to run for governor in California. Yeah. So they said Biden's out. There's nothing left in that. You can't get, you know, blood from a stone.

However, we put Kamala on the stage. She's going to lose, but it'll raise her profile. Then she runs for governor in California, which is two to one Democrat. She's going to win. OK, makes sense to me. I mean, I'm I still I still feel like the the or the reason that the Democrats are in disarray, the reason that things are going on at Act Blue, not just because the Republicans won and you got people like Kash Patel, but it's because they have no leadership and they have no leadership because they don't know what their platform is anymore they don't have they have totally abandoned the working class right there they they're not supporting middle america they're the they're the party of the of the extremely wealthy and the extremely poor and they use those two groups against the average american

and they browbeat them with identity politics through multiple different ways whether it be a sexuality yeah i mean all of it basically like you were saying yourself they when's the last time bet had a black man summit they don't like men the democrats hate men and that's you know it's it's something that's so fairly obvious so let's i want to jump to the story because it it expounds upon the subject this is from newsweek gavin newsom's podcast remark sparks backlash from Democrats. Gavin Newsom knows what he's doing. You mentioned, Phil, that the Democrats don't have a platform anymore. Gavin Newsom is, and I bet they discussed this a year ago,

after Trump wins, assuming he does, we need to start rebuilding a Democrat identity and who's going to be in charge. And as we were mentioning in the previous segment, you mentioned MSNBC is bringing a new, more moderated Democrat. Stephen A. Smith can talk politics. Gavin Newsom sitting down with Charlie Kirk. They are trying to realign. They're going to moderate. Now, the big play here, obviously, Gavin Newsom's getting backlash from Democrats. They're probably going to come after me. I say they, the Democrat machine, the political machine, the bureaucratic state is going to come after me i say they the democrat machine the political machine the bureaucratic state is going to come after me hard for this segment we're about to do right now

oh one of the biggest things that uh big mistakes are being made right now by the independent space they don't have standards and practices they don't have legal teams and the corporate press may have here's what i think i'll give you you a simple, simple story. They, Joe Rogan started to emerge with the Ustream show. It got very popular. Podcasts became prominent and the corporate press overlooked this. If they wanted to stop the podcast presidency, they needed to make the move seven, eight or nine years before it actually happened. Once Joe Rogan and many podcasts got as popular as they did, They lost control. They tried censoring. They shut down Paul Joseph Watson. They shut down Laura Loomer. They shut down Alex Jones. But it

still wasn't enough. Audience were still flocking to this new medium that they did not invest in enough or censor enough. So what happens? They start to realize, guys, we're going to lose this one. So I think you're correct in that approaching 2024, they said, let's not waste any of our resources. However, many people on the right have made tremendous errors in not actively paying attention to their standards and practices, namely around two big things. One, the simple one that's not as big a deal is how they approach fair use issues and citation and copyright. That's not going to be as big a deal. But the big issue is in this new podcasting space, ads are being sold, which are illegal. And many individuals on the right are reading pharmaceutical ads and they're reading ads for

finance without looking into federal law. After we wrapped up the Culture War podcast this morning, I was talking to Del and Dr. Malone, and I mentioned this. I said, we've had companies pitch to us. I don't want to name the companies. So if you guys know what I'm talking about here, I don't want to drag anybody or get into any litigation. But there are people right now in the independent media space, pro-Trump, anti-establishment, who have been doing ad reads for prescription medications. That is heavily regulated by the FDA. And the first thing Dr. Malone said to me was, I saw this too. I don't understand. Why is it the FDA going after them right now? I mean, this is heavily regulated. You can't just advertise prescription drugs. In some instances,

it's illegal. I said finance as well. There are a lot of people that are doing ad reads for financial services, not realizing there are federal requirements as to what you're supposed to do if you are selling an ad or doing a read. And so the question then was, why aren't these agencies or anybody doing anything about it? Here's what I think. Here's what I said to him. I don't think the federal regulators under Donald Trump are going to start banning conservative and anti-establishment podcasters.

No, YouTube will, though. under Donald Trump, are going to start banning conservative and anti-establishment podcasters. Not now. No, YouTube will, though. YouTube is going to start nuking some massive channels with five plus million subscribers who have been doing this. And big shows are going to get caught off guard right before the midterms or right before 2028. It's going to be sporadic. It won't be all at once.

It won't be a mass wave because they're not stupid. It's going to be a decently sized podcast. We'll get a strike and YouTube's going to say, well, you were running ads for pharmaceuticals. That's actually against the rules, against the law. There have been several instances where sales reps have come to me and said, what do you think about this product? And I go, Kellen, look up the rules, look up the law. He comes back and says that product's banned. I say, thank you, but no, thank you. And they go, they respond to me. Here's a list of everyone who's already done it. Yep. Every time I say,

look, we have standards and practices here to a limited degree. Like we have lawyers, we have legal teams. We check the laws and these things. And we have a team that goes through what isn't, is not allowed to be advertised on whichever platform. YouTube has two sets of rules for this AdWords and YouTube. And every time the company says, here's a list of prominent YouTubers who have already done the ad read. And I responded to them, that's great that other people are breaking the law and going to get themselves banned, but that doesn't mean we'll do it.

And they say, you're leaving a lot of money on the table. I say, sure am. So then the question is, why hasn't any of these platforms banned these people just yet? Now is not the time. You ban a big creator right now. What do you accomplish? However, within a couple months of an election, you ban a prominent Trump supporter like that with Alex Jones, you know, and those people back then, you're going to start having a visible dent put into the Republican machine,

be it the midterms or 2028, whoever may be end up running. I think we're going to see sporadic bans and the narrative will then emerge. So and so got banned from YouTube. Big channel with three million subscribers, a huge show. And then they're going to be on X being this is unfair. And then YouTube is going to come out and say, here's a list of 17 times they did an ad for a prescription drug in violation of federal law. And we only were just made aware of it. This is not political. They were selling drugs and they are doing it. There are prominent podcasters selling drugs right now. I would say many of them illegally. And again, you hit nail on the head. That's exactly what's going to happen. I've been saying on my podcast, the Griff Report.

I say, yo, listen, the Democrat recovery program is built into the right wing. Yep. The mistakes of the right. You know how politics go. Nobody really talks about their platform. They just go, hey, look what that guy did wrong. So. So that's what they're going to do. Going to wait. Let all the Republicans make all these mistakes. We're going to be talking about one of the mistakes later in the show. But the other thing is the Democrats actually don't even have to have a platform. They're going to sit back and let the Republicans create their platform. Because, for example, when you go look back in the day, they had something called an anti-Mason party. An anti-Mason party was starting to galvanize votes. Then they brought a candidate

in. That candidate picked up the anti-Mason talking points. Anti-Mason party goes away. So all the Democrats have to do is sit back and wait, see what people care about, see what Republican talking points they got, and then compete on those same talking points. And you're going to see a more centered Democrat party than you've seen in a while. So on top of that, as you already mentioned, Hotep, they've got the moderation happening. Gavin Newsom agreeing with Charlie Kirk on core anti-wokeness, you know, anti-gender ideologies. Yeah, a big change. Then what we're going to see is the mass investment into podcasts like this. One of the things I mentioned to Dell and Dr. Malone was, and I said this on the show,

Rachel Maddow getting $25 million a year is money flushed down the toilet. You give $5 million, it is. Nobody watches her show. It's it's it's no disrespect, but her audience is predominantly 70 plus respect. Some. But I mean, I respect the elderly. But you take five million. You choose any one of the top liberal podcasters. You say here are the talking points. Gender ideology is out. We don't want none of that. We're for the working class. We're moderating. Here's your talking points.

Here's $5 million. And here's $20 million in Google and Billboard and TV ads. You will now be the biggest podcast in the world so long as you stay within these confines. You know these people are going to say yes. At the same time, tons of prominent independent podcasters are going to start going popping across the board. Channels getting shut down and it's never going to be political. They're going to come out and they're going to say we have no choice but to shut this channel down because they were doing financial ads without proper financial disclosures required by law. And they did it 53 times over the course of four or five years.

So I think we'll see a series of things. For one, how we've seen censorship occur on Twitter before it was X and on YouTube is if you're a small to mid channel, you get nuked instantly without warning. Right. If you're a bigger channel, they'll give you a warning, take down 17 of your videos and then say, well, you broke the rules and try and push you to the brink where they can make the ban not be a big splash. I think we're going to see big channels get banned. I think it's going to be first is to be

as simple as we issued a strike on this channel and a two week suspension of live streaming and uploading because they sold drugs. We are not banning them, but this is illegal and it's going to be right in the midterm period. You do that 100 times to some of the top podcasts and you have put a dent in the narrative machine for the right. You don't need to ban them outright. You need to create enough negative pressure so that more people get the liberal podcast in a moderated view and less people get the right anti-establishment podcasts.

Boom. Nailed it. Do you think that this is him, Gavin Newsom gearing up for 2028? Yeah, absolutely. People are going to forget all people have such short attention spans and Boom. Nailed it. Do you think that this is him, Gavin Newsom, gearing up for 2028? Yeah. Absolutely. People are going to forget all—people have such short attention spans, and he's likable enough to the politically uninitiated

that all of the things that have gone wrong in California just won't register with a lot of people. Listen, Charlie Kirk is one of the sharpest cats out here. Young Thundercat. Tough dude to debate. Knows his stuff. Gavin Newsom was right there hanging with him in that debate. He looked very sharp. And I saw Gavin Newsom in the debate.

Was it Vivek? Did he debate? Who did he have to debate during the election? The Sanders. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He looked sharp then, too. Gavin Newsom's very sharp. You watch out for him.

It's going to be Newsom versus Vance next election. You think Vance? I think Vance. Yeah. It's a hunch, mostly because we're starting to see the Vance next election. You think Vance? I think Vance. It's a hunch mostly because we're starting to see the Vance memes everywhere. You see the Vance baby memes. It's so good, man!

I'm like, are they about the meme? And then the other thing was when we saw Dark Vance last week with Zelinsky, we saw another side of Vance. He embarrassed Zelinsky, made him pull his pants down. Was it you? who mentioned the emo Vance?

I chime in with you, haven't you people ever heard of stopping the goddamn war? that was emo Vance, that was so good and like you have these liberal outlets trying to make it seem like the right is mad about the Vance memes we're doing it too man he likes it, he's even said he finds them funny

they're really good. Everybody's enjoying them. Hey, but the left is making the Trump mistake again. They are making Vance a household name and prominent in minds, and attention is currency. And meanwhile, they're making the cringy Choose Your Fighter video,

which I literally died from watching. I think I actually got AIDS from watching that video. It's going around like this. It was awful. Fox News won't stop playing it. For real. It's like day three now, and they've played it every show.

And this is the thing. If they had leadership, somebody would have stopped them from making that video. Like somebody would have been, they would have given that video upload to somebody in power, and he would have been like, no, this can't go out. You have no idea what you're doing right now. Honestly, they would have Mr. Burns pressed the button and the floor trap would have opened and launched into shoot to eject out of the building. Yeah, I think they set themselves up like J.R.E.

You know, the next time it comes around, they're going to get midterm. You're going to see a whole new crew, a whole new cast, people you never heard of. They'll pop out the woodwork and take a lot of people's lives. But hold on real quick. What if the point of that video was to actually harm the credibility of progressive left Democrats? It's doing a fantastic job. It is, isn't it? And so imagine you're a Newsom acolyte.

You're in the camp where it's like, we're going to moderate on these issues and we're going to try and recapture the center. First thing we got to do is we got to nuke the squad. What do we do? Hey guys, we're making this video. Hey, how about 22 senators all make the same video?

You do these things to weaken them so that you can supplant them in the party. Do you think is Hakeem Jeffries somebody you would consider closer to center? I don't know about closer to center. I wouldn't say he's closer to center, but he's going to come center. He's going to get there. He's smart enough to know to see which way the wind is blowing then he's he's saying to them he's like look don't wear costumes don't don't carry signs at this at this event we need to look normal we need to have decorum and nobody's listening and it's so weird how for the party

that seems to fall in line with everything, they don't have any structured leadership. It's because of the civil war. It's because they haven't. It's because the progressives were so influential before the before they lost this last election. They really thought that all of the progressive policies and all the progressive talking points, they thought that they were in control. And when Kamala lost, regular Democrats and their donors, the guys that write the checks are like, hey, this stuff didn't work. It's clearly unpopular with the American people. So we don't want to touch it. Look at the things that progressives are pushing. They're still pushing LGBT issues as if that's that's something that people, you know, the average American cares about it's not most americans again whether you like it or not most americans are pro-israel and you've got all these people that are in the progressive uh group that are saying you know that are talking about palestine and that are essentially to americans to regular normal people that are not plugged into politics this looks like oh they're they're siding with hamas is what they is the the short version of it. That's what they see. And so they see all this stuff right before the election and they lose the election because

of it. Like these policies are not popular. You've got the the the normal Democrats, right? The the people that you would consider liberal Democrats, those people are making a play for control of the party. That's why John Fetterman is so on is on X talking the way he does. That's why everybody was like so like, yeah, John Fetterman's actually got a point before the election. You've got Hakeem Jeffries that was saying this stuff to the people that were going to be at the at the joint session.

Don't do this. Don't do this. And they do. They look like trash. And now you're only getting more people saying this is not the way that the Democrat Party is going to win in the future. I got I got to warn everybody about Fetterman. So I'm watching Fox News with the wife. Fetterman pops up and makes a statement as he does, trying to sound reasonable. And Allison says, so he's he's all right. He's a Democrat. Right. He's trying to to get, you know, he's trying to fix the party or whatever. And I said, look at how he votes. He's setting you up. People who are not as active as we are hear Fetterman and go, ah, here we go. The Democrats are getting their act together.

And then he walks right in and rubber stamps woke garbage. All that stuff. It's four groups that's happening right now. You got people who got the call, people who didn't get the call, stupid people and smart people. Now, some of the stupid people didn't get the call. Some of the smart people didn't get the call. People like Charlamagne is in that group who was smart and didn't get the call. You saw him immediately shift. Well, first of all, he was kind of Trumpish. As soon as Kamala ran, he was like, hold on, I got to align with the black folks. So as Kamala was like, hold like hold on we're coming back at the very least he would ask

questions and be like the it sounds like you guys are making mistakes and then yeah it was come on the moment like uh uh you know trump starts winning he goes were we lied to by the democrats about trump being a fascist oh he's smart yeah he knows. That's like now the Democrats, you start to look at the Democrats that are still pushing the woke stuff. And you're like, bro, you can't read the room. Who is Stephen A. Smith talking to recently where he's like, you guys got spanked. Stephen A. Smith's been doing his rounds. He just spoke to Candace Owens. Yes.

He's talking about running. Stephen A. Smith is one of those people who didn't get the call, read the room, and said, hold on. We're going to bring this thing back center. Let's be reasonable. If I don't want to be caught in the woke stuff, then you'll be irrelevant. You'll be out like Jay Reid. Well, I mean, I do want to say one thing. Let's celebrate the defeat of wokeness because Democrats are abandoning it.

And we can breathe a sigh of relief. That's a W a w that's a w i'm apprehensive about that there are there are attempts to just rebrand it that will happen they will just try to change the name that you're seeing that in the government uh in the bureaucracies they're doing that at disney right now as well people that used to be head of DEI, et cetera, they're changing the names, but they will still implement the policies if they're allowed, and that will still be something because these people that believe this, they truly believe it. They're ideologues, and as long as they're working in HR, they're going to hire people that agree with them. And there's not much legs.

HR departments are the communist official party offices, you know what I mean? It's not much legs in the wokeness because you have to think generationally. If you look at the young generation coming up, like I got twin boys that are 15. They're watching the different streamers. A lot of the streamers say, we're not touching this politics stuff. We're not touching this woke stuff.

We're just going to go make good content. So the Democrats in wokeness don't even have the next generation coming up. So there's not much legs on that. Let me tell you, I did a segment today. If YouGov polling from, I think it might have been a year ago or within the past few months. If you ask Democrats, have we done enough for LGBTQ people?

For people who are elderly, something like 75% say we haven't. Gen Z says we've done enough. No joke. 78% of Gen Z is in the we've done enough or too much. Absolutely. Yeah, that's crazy. I think they've done too much. It's true about the next generation, too.

I remember I think Kamala tried to talk to Kai Sinat, and he's like, no. He said no. He's like, no. Get the hell out of here with that. I don't want to touch that stuff. You're going to taint me and mess up my, no. He said no. He's like, no. Get the hell out of here with that. You're going to taint me and mess up my brand? Yeah, smart kid. Without, I feel like I can't ask this question without starting a three hour long conversation

about it, but I'm curious where you think the U.S. ends up on the issue of Israel with the younger generations, with people like Candace Owens. There are a lot of people who have broken from the right, And I don't mean the people who are obsessed with Jews. Certainly they've been screaming.

But with Dave Smith, who is a more rational, critical of Israel and Israel funding, anti-interventionist. I've had a conversation with many libertarians and even some, I would call like moderate conservatives

who are pro-Israel. And the consensus seems to be leaning towards Israel must become self-sufficient of its own accord, like over a period of time. So it seems like the space we're in is either totally anti-Israel or Israel's cool, but not our problem. And the pro-Israel sentiment, which does exist, I don't think is strong enough to maintain an ongoing U.S. funding of Israel the way we've experienced it. Are we talking like the politically initiated or are you saying like the general sentiment within the country? General public like Israel, but really aren't going to be doing much for it. They're not going to go vote for the most part on these things.

What I mean is we are seeing more and more a combination of things staunchly anti-Israel individuals. Then you, of course, had what always existed, the, I call them the Zaju's people. They think Jews are hunting on every rock. They're crazy. But obviously they're there. But you're seeing more prominent personalities be hyper critical of Israel. And it's become more of a mainstream conversation where you don't have the fervent, zealous pro-Israel anymore. So looking at Gen Z, I'm not talking about, you know, these university protesters who are saying like, free from the river to sea or whatever. I'm talking about the people you're mentioning who are playing video games who are going to be like, I don't want to be involved in any of that stuff. And you combine that with the other anti-Israel sentiment. I'm wondering if the

next generation is going to be voting. We're going to see politicians who are basically like, nah, Israel, we out. Well, it's the idea here that you're going to get a next generation of people that are actually America first that are saying like, look, anti-war like Ron Paul in 2008 and taken to its logical conclusion. It's saying, why are we anti-war about everything but this? And perhaps the next generation just takes that sentiment to say, you need be self-sufficient we can't be funding you a lot of those people they're not going to get into discussions about uh i got the obama in the conversation yeah you can't be pro-america and not be pro-israel he's gone he's left the room i want to i'm interested to know exactly what he means by

that but look there are going to be a significant portion of people that are gonna be like look america should take care of america and should you know we shouldn't be funding uh other countries but there are a lot of people that have the impression that we just send them pallets of cash like we did to iran and when we send them when we send them money what we're sending them is weapons that were made in america so the united states prints money sends it to weapons manufacturers in the united states that money goes to people that work in the united states it goes back into the u.s economy and then the weapons go to israel so it's people have been having that same conversation about ukraine right that we're

a lot of what we're doing is funding through weapons that are made here in America. And a lot of Americans saying, yes, but we have people here in America who are suffering through natural disasters where they're getting no aid whatsoever. I don't want to fund American weapons either. That's what I'm saying. I want a strong military. I want a strong military. I want well-paid men and women in uniform. But when they're like, don't worry, the $350 billion that were being spent on Ukraine actually was given to the military industrial complex. I'm like, still bad.

But they're Americans in the American military industrial complex. I'm like, no. You know what would have been better off? Buying Greenland with that money. Although, let's do the math. How much money would each citizen of Greenland get if we divvied up $350 billion? Isn't it like 27,000 people or something like that? What's the profit?

60. Is that it? Yeah, it's like a high school graduation. Each person would get $5.8 million. I'm moving to Greenland right now. I'm out of here. Yeah. And then we'd have Greenland.

You know what I mean? And you can build stuff there. You can build Trump Tower. Here's my thing. We're not doing anything in Greenland. When you're talking about Israel, right, what you're talking about is the great Western empire that we all get to enjoy the perks of. Okay? And Israel is our representative in the region to hold things down for us. Okay.

Now, first of all, we don't put so much money into Israel. We're going to have to get an ROI unit. So it's like sunken cost fallacy. We just have to stay out there. We got, you got to stay out there until we get something, you know, it going to have to lock down some of the Golan Heights oil. This goes back to the fact that the Western empire wanted to topple the Ottoman empire. Okay. This is what this is all about. This is the Ottoman the fact that the Western Empire wanted to topple the Ottoman Empire. This is what this is all about. This is the Ottoman Empire we're talking about here. We still got more territory to conquer.

Iran's next. I'm supposed to save these takes for Joe Rogan and Alex Jones. I'm dropping them here. Iran's next. Everybody know what's on the plan. Come on. We all know what's going on. Iran's next. We took care of Iraq here Iran's next everybody know what's on the plan come on we all know what's going on Iran's next

we took care of Iraq Iran's next this is the western empire either you love the perks of being an American in the western empire or you don't you want the Arabs doing it you want the Muslims doing it or China

or China because China's gonna if you don't do it somebody else is gonna take that region but don't a lot of people if like there's a fracture in America first because China's going to, if you don't do it, somebody else is going to take that region. But don't a lot of people, there's a fracture in America first of people who understand global politics, geopolitics, and war overseas,

and the ones who just are saying blanket statement, I don't think we should be any of these regions. I think we should focus on things here first. Now, I understand that's a very, very utopian way of thinking of things. I'm just saying that's a sentiment. They never played Civilization. Yeah.

What a good game. I don't know about the latest Civ 7 everyone hates. What's the other game with the war game you take over? Risk. Risk. We were just talking about that today. They never played Risk. I think it's just like, what's going on here?

People are real quick to be like, they don't have a sophisticated understanding of geopolitics and like i do think that we should end all kinds of support to most countries i don't think we should be sending money around around the world buying buying influence and stuff like that dropping pronouns i don't think we should be doing any of that stuff remember when trump was like nobody knows where that is right it doesn't change the fact that most people that are like oh we shouldn't do anything we shouldn't spend money we shouldn't give foreign foreign aid they don't understand what foreign aid is they think that it's just dumping money yeah and pallets and it's well that's not it's not foreign aid is not regime change but oh there is there is regime change i'm

not saying there isn't us usaid is not foreign yes usaid is regime change. I'm not saying there isn't regime change. USAID is not foreign aid. USAID is regime change. Yeah, USAID. We're a revolution all over the world. USAID is not aid. It's regime change. It's soft power. Aid is AIDS. It's, well, yeah.

I guess the way I think it is, the average person who doesn't follow global politics super closely sees natural disasters happen here and FEMA gives them $600 and they're like, why is it here, and FEMA gives them $600, and they're like, why is it that we can give American citizens $600, but we have to give, again. Now, that's messed up. Yeah.

They're saying that we should take order of importance. You should take care of the citizens here first. We have, we're $35 trillion, is it more than that now? $35 trillion in debt. Let's focus on the citizens here first. Then we can, you know, it's like on an airplane, right? Like when they drop the mask down. Secure your mask first.

Then you can worry about the people around you. Take care of the people here first. Then you can worry about the people in the rest of the world. So in direct funding, I believe the U.S. is at like $140 billion. Okay. In total spending, including ancillary spends, which are not direct to Ukraine, but for – we'll say things like funding of U.S. personnel in Europe that do aid and assist Ukraine. So like we've got the direct congressional apportioned funds. Then we have existing U.S. military infrastructure in Europe.

I believe the estimate is total expense was $350 billion. If that is the case, and I know it is a rough estimate, that means the United States has given each citizen of Ukraine, including babies, $9,722. Damn. And if you're in a disaster zone in the United States, you got

a nice fat $600. Don't spend it all in one place. It blows my mind that they go with such a piddly amount of money and say, this is what we're going to give you. At all. It is better to not give them. Right, right.

Better to not give anybody money than to allow that to go out for the American people to hear. They're like, what? You know, that's like two weeks of groceries. What do you mean?

Support, blah, blah, blah. It is way better to say, we're not giving anything out. It's all What do you mean support, blah, blah, blah? It is way better to say we're not giving anything out. It's all going to go through aid and blah, blah, blah. The government's like, have The Rock drop a GoFundMe. It's terrible, man. The Rock did the GoFundMe for Hawaii. Oh, yeah, yeah. After the fires.

But what about East Palestine? If it's pop culture, Brett knows. We're like, who? Yeah, The Rock. Whatever happened to East Palestine, Ohio? Did they even get a system? I don't think so. And that soil is contaminated with the vinyl chloride, was it?

Did they ever fix the drinking water in Michigan? That's what I'm saying. Flint, Michigan? Flint, Michigan. That's what I'm saying. There's a lot that happened to Michigan. I'll just tell you. I don't even care.

I got potholes. We got an interstate highway down the street that's got potholes. Look, if you can't fix a pothole on your road, you don't send our money to Ukraine. Sorry. It's just, come on. I understand war happens, but you're supposed to explain to the American people and get approval from Congress and have general support for these things. The problem we have now is that they know they have no real justification for what they're doing. So they have to censor and ban people and any security means they can to stop them from spreading sentiment that is anti-war.

60 years from now, they're going to be talking about, we got the binders coming out the binders. Ukraine files. Here's where the money went. That's going to be the next. We know they're stealing it. Absolutely. Well, I mean, and this is there were the fake businesses that were set up that were receiving U.S. money directly to build fortifications. And then when Russia attacked, there were no fortifications.

And Ukraine was like, yeah, because the money was being stolen. Let's jump to the story from the Postmillennial. AOC aide in the U.S. illegally self-deports to Colombia. Say what? Victory. She employed an illegal immigrant? That's a crime, isn't it? That is a crime.

Hold on. I got to get the context here. What's going on? An aide to AOC self-deported after being in the U.S. illegally. Diego de la Vega said he has freedom of movement in Colombia now after he overstayed his visa in the U.S. Okay, so overstayed his visa. Did she hire him when he was allowed to work here? What's going on?

They say, according to the Washington Free Beacon, he left the U.S. in December after he overstayed his visa that he received when he was seven years old. On Wednesday, AOC praised De La Vega saying that we love him. The aid self-deportation came shortly after Trump was elected in November. And since becoming president, he has pushed for a mass deportation effort, starting with those here illegally that are also committing other crimes. De La Vega relocated to Bogota to be with his wife, who was another illegal immigrant to the U.S. In an interview with Migrant Insider, the aide said that he was illegalized in the U.S. and that he would have the freedom of movement in Colombia. What? It's not clear how De La Vega was able to be employed by the lawmaker, although he was barred from working in Congress because of his legal status.

So is AOC just outright committing crimes here? It is illegalized, I mean. That's a made-up term? It's like self-deport's going to be like YouTubers censoring themselves about self-deletion. It's going to be a new term. He's just going to re-up on Zelensky's PACs. Mm-hmm.

I thought AOC was Puerto Rican, right? I don't know. She's just's PACs. I thought AOC was Puerto Rican, right? I don't know. She's just beautiful, though. I love AOC. That's my beauty. Look, if Trump's policies are getting illegal aliens to self-deport, I'm good with it.

So he was a DACA recipient. Right. And once Trump came in, he said he's getting out of here because he's being illegalized. But he was barred from working in Congress. So he was a DACA recipient. Right. And once Trump came in, he said he's getting out of here because he's being illegalized. But he was barred from working in Congress. So how was she able to employ a DACA recipient? I'm sorry. I have no sympathy for DACA recipients. I just really don't.

When was DACA? 2013 or something or 2012? So right now, with Trump getting elected, with immigration being a principal issue, you've got people who have been here as DACA recipients since then. They've had 12 years to get their affairs in order and they chose not to. And now it's, oh, no, but these people have been here their whole lives. Well, they didn't have to be. They could have been here half their lives and they had 12 years to get their affairs sorted to go back to their home countries.

I don't know why that's my responsibility as an American. Do you think that this is an issue that's going to be contentious or is this one that Democrats are going to end up shifting on? Because this is like a core Obama. This is like a core Obama issue, right? They have to shift on it because I'll give you two examples. The immigration crisis was so severe, people's brains got fried. And another example is gay marriage support is dropping and likely Obergefell will be overturned. And this is because the people who supported DACA did so thinking they were being reasonable. And then what happened? The border got overrun. Communities changed. Certain community

centers were overrun. The black voters in Chicago were at meetings saying we are being they said the quote we are being replaced. That came from the black community in Chicago. These people are going to recoil at this at the talk of amnesty from now on because they've been negatively impacted by mass migration. So when gay marriage emerges, when DACA emerges, doesn't really bother anybody or affect anybody. And they say, who cares? Ten years on, mass migration has negatively impacted us. And the LGBTQ issues have pushed so far beyond the pale that people are shocked and scared. Now, moderates, moderate liberal types who supported these causes have disappeared.

You're now going. So gay marriage support has dropped, like, I think two or three points. Yeah. From last year to next, from this. So it's started to curve down. And you're likely going to see many of these people who were once liberal and the post-liberals who have joined Trump will not speak out as activists in support of gay marriage when the challenges arise. And they are. Numerous states are saying they're going to get rid of it.

I'm not trying to shift the conversation back to the same point about immigration. Back then, DACA is immigration doesn't really faze me. Let the people stay. What's the problem? Now the issue is my community center is full of illegal immigrants. I don't care. I have no sympathy. You've got to go home. Blake and Riley stories all in their face. That's a nasty story. When Trump was doing his address with Congress this week and he started naming those stories, people hear that stuff, that resonates and it's going to stick in your mind but when i saw that quote just now from aoc and she says we're going to miss him and when you said what you said that's that was the inkling i got i was like wait a second she's shifting because normally what you would get from her after something like that is you know she's going to be at the border

crying near the fence she didn't do that she says we're just gonna miss him or it would it would the response would be i will hide him in my attic if i have to right and she didn't say that she said she said miss you bye so did she get the call because we know she's not too bright so maybe she got the call maybe somebody said aoc listen we're gonna need you around next election you're gonna have to shift a little bit but then wouldn't i love i sorry just i love that that's probably true the call is going around you probably got gavin newsom you got legal teams they probably went through a list of people that they think would would uh follow orders with the new uh shift for politics and i think you're right about charlemagne he didn't get the call but he is

smart so he went oh geez they lied about Trump, huh? So the idea was that when they talked about Lakin Riley or they talked about the young man with brain cancer at the address and nobody stood up and no Democrats clapped, did none of those people get the call? Because a really easy way to start shifting would have been to just stand up and act like a human being yeah they didn't get the call and again coming back to charlamagne when you look at charlamagne in a breakfast club's coverage even i gotta give props to dj envy when they talked about dj they were like yo like leave little bro alone he's got brain cancer blah blah blah but they get it you you cannot you cannot not support dj and what they were saying was that trump was grifting off a dj and i'm like listen let's say trump was grifting off a dj who wins more from that dj or trump i'm like yo i feel like dj wins more dj set up for life now yeah but sure but let's say trump

was grifting and democrats knew it that's why they're complaining then the best thing they could have done is all stood up and clapped and cheered for it and made sure Trump didn't win this one. Yeah, exactly. And it was bipartisan. It's political theater. I'm like, it's all political theater. It's how you respond that actually matters. The next day when they're censuring Al Green

and then all the Democrats, not all of them, but a lot of them are singing We Shall Overcome and The Well of the Congress, they didn't get the call. They didn't get the call. They didn't get the call. I'm like, you look nuts. They're on their way out. They have to be. And now we're hearing that Johnson may remove many of these Democrats from their committees.

So it's not expulsion, but it's tantamount to. So for those that don't understand. Listen, they're so bad, you can replace them with anybody. Right. I want to make sure people understand this. When you you're in congress you want to be on certain committees because the committees can get those bills to the floor for a floor vote correct so matt gates pointed this out to us he said when he first got in they said if you want a committee assignment you got to pay for it and based on the size of your of your district and it's and it's like

per capita gdp, your contribution to the, what is it, the NRCC, National Republican Congressional Committee or whatever, has to be a certain number. And so Gates said, I wrote him a check and said, how much will half a million get me? And they were like, you can have any committee assignment you want. When Marjorie Taylor Greene got censured for post-humanity Facebook and they stripped her of her committee assignments, she was basically unable then to advance certain bills or be involved in that process. So if these Democrats are getting stripped from their committee assignments,

and it could be 30 or 40, that's massive. It is almost expulsion. Expulsion could get a new Democrat to come in and get on the committees and negotiate. But if they get removed, they're going to dramatically lose power. You know what the new Democrat party is going to look like? White men. Strong white men. white men i'm telling you you cannot fatterman newsome yeah and again like there's a million things you can criticize gavin newsome on but the sad fact is most people have short memories and aren't going to remember it by the time the next election comes around i don't remember it all i see is the new gavin yep

and and and he is he and he was very deferential to charlie and a lot of those issues was to remember it by the time the next election comes around. I don't remember it. All I see is the new Gavin. Yep. And he was very deferential to Charlie on a lot of those issues. He was. When he was like, fair point. Yep. Okay. The stuff that he's deferential about are the obvious things. The things that it was insane for the Democrats to take

up these ideas in the first place. It is insane for the Democrats to say, we're going to force young men to play women's sports. We're going to force schools to allow that to happen. And you see that video of that poor girl getting her face smashed in with the volleyball. Every single parent that sees that is like, I'm all set with the Democrats. I don't need this anymore. You know what I think? I think the Democrats and the DJ thing, I think it's that Democrats are substantially less likely.

I mean, the voters as a base, less likely to have kids. They don't get an emotional reaction seeing that father. They don't empathize with that father. So there's two things I see here. We mentioned this. I think I mentioned this this morning that in this battle we have, there are people who serve God and people who want to be God. So the transhumanists, big tech or people who are just gluttonous and hedonistic. And then you have people on the other side. If you want to secularize it for those that are moderate and support Trump, but don't believe in God, these are people who believe in something

greater than themselves. So they might be an atheist. They might be agnostic, but they serve in the military because they believe, you know, that I think that exists. When you look at the DJ scenario, people who believe in the greater are more likely to feel empathy, not just for the kid who was bullied. And that's where a lot of this started. He was being bullied because he wanted to be a cop. But for the father who's standing there imagining what that dad must have felt when his son was going through brain cancer, imagining what that kid must have been feeling going through brain cancer. Thirteen times. Thirteen times.

And then, man, to see that dad with a big old smile on his face holding up his son for the president of the United States to be honored, to know that not only did his son survive, and it was probably the most terrifying and painful thing you can experience. It's probably slow torture. The Democrats, I'm sure many of the Democrat politicians, they have kids, we know they do, and they understand that, but they don't stand up because their voters don't understand that. And their voters won't react with empathy because they don't care. In fact, they've been publishing op-eds all the time saying, stop having kids. It's bad for the climate. Yeah.

I mean, the problem is the reason why Democrats can't resonate with that father is because Democrats are used to kids having two dads. Where's the other one? Where's the other dad? They've signed up for hating men. It's been purely obvious for at least 20 30 years i'm so uh when that when that when dj got held up by his dad i wasn't i wasn't just uh i wasn't just cheering for dj i was cheering for that dad yeah i mean i've told

this before there was a video that went viral on the internet a long time ago of a dad holding his dead son. And he wailed in such a way that would like haunt your nightmares. And I'm like, worst thing a parent could ever experience. And he didn't just deal with that pain. It was prolonged torture over a long period of time. Parents who go through kids with terminal illness, you're not just experiencing that pain one time. You're being beaten over the head with it. You have to watch your child suffer in that way. Here he is now on the other side of it in the best way imaginable. He shouldn't just get a standing ovation. They should have stood up

for 20 minutes and clapped for them. The Democrats, I don't believe their constituencies can resonate with that. So they just say, don't stand up. It'll be bad for bad for business. Yeah, because the climate's going to bring the world to an end. So why would you have kids anyways? You know what? The gift that Trump gave that kid outside of the gift of the grift, because now he get to get the grift. OK, he's he's hot as fire right now. But he gave that kid the gift of life. Yeah, because, you know, they've done studies on this in Asia. They have happiness, you know, they've done studies on this in Asia. They have happiness, you know, treatment for diseases.

But the level of your mood can actually help you with whatever it is that you're facing. And this kid now enjoying this extended period of elation, he's giving this kid life. And this is one of the most beautiful things. I will never forgive the people that really politicized that and didn't show love to DJ. They could have just clapped, man. The fact that the Democrats can't identify the obvious correct moves is actually hilarious. It's really funny. If you actually think about it, it's like, you thought it was a bad idea to stand up for the kid with cancer?

You hate Trump that much? You thought it was a bad idea to stand up for the kid with cancer? You people are morons. You people it was a bad idea to stand up for the kid with cancer. You people are morons. You people shouldn't be in any position of authority because you're too stupid. Hey, Democrats, if y'all be mean to Trump, I'm on your bumper. I got to be honest. I imagine Trump and his cabinet are sitting in the room,

and then Trump's sitting there being like, I tell these people that air is safe to breathe. They hold their breath. Watch. How much you want to bet? I bring out a kid with cancer, and they're not going to cheer for him. And they're like, Trump, Mr. President, that air is safe to breathe. They hold their breath. Watch how much you want to bet. I bring out a kid with cancer and they're not going to cheer for him. And like Trump, Mr. President, that's a great idea. Can we get a kid?

And he's like, all right, let's bring him out. It's a grift. But then it's like it proves the point. It was a point. Let's jump to this story from USA Today. Donald Trump says he isn't considering pardoning Derek Chauvin in George Floyd's murder. Fake news. Donald Trump said, I have no idea what you're talking about. So here's the story. Ben Shapiro put out a video saying, you know, pardon Derek

Chauvin. Derek Chauvin not only was charged at the state level, but also the federal level. Ben Shapiro made the point that Trump could pardon this man who has been wrongly prosecuted in many ways. And Trump was asked about it. And his response was, no, I haven't heard about it. I haven't heard of that. The media is now running the headline that Trump says he won't pardon Derek Chauvin, which is a weird headline to run, considering Trump said, effectively, I don't know what you're talking about.

They're going to mention Ben Shapiro, founder of the Daily Wire this week, launched an online petition calling for Trump to pardon Chauvin, who in 2021 was sentenced for 22 and a half years in prison on state charges for second, third, second and third degree murder and 21 years on federal charges for depriving Floyd of his civil rights. When he knelt on top of Floyd's neck for nine and a half minutes as he lay on a Minneapolis sidewalk in May of 2020. Certainly, we all know that the issue there is not so cut and dry and they're not framing it that well. But The Daily Wire has pushed this big campaign and many people have gotten on board with it. I think obviously I think Derek Chauvin shouldn't be in prison at all. And I have tweeted hashtag free Chauvin numerous times. I don't know if it makes sense right now for Trump to put this on his agenda.

I mean, certainly Chauvin shouldn't be in prison, but he's going to be in state prison anyway, even if Trump pardoned him, he's still locked up. So I don't know why now is the right moment for this, but I'm curious what you guys think. It's a grift. Big boss Ben grifting. But this goes back to what I said before. The Democrat recovery program is built into the right wing. You're going to have missteps like big boss Ben trying to get his grift on. And then it's going to come 2028. People go, how come black people won't vote for Republicans? Because y'all doing stupid stuff like this.

But what's wrong with this? It's stupid. But no, like why? You think Chauvin should not be pardoned? Here's what we got. You got Derek Chauvin, right? Who, he ain't the cleanest dude. He ain't the cleanest.

He got a little funny past him and George Floyd got a past before. They worked at the same place together. Yeah, okay. So we're not even going to get into that, okay? You got Derek Chauvin. Then you got the country. Are you going to sacrifice your country for a dirty cop? Why is he a dirty cop?

You're going to have to go. We're not going to get into that. You're saying narrative-wise, the view among many in the population is this guy's a dirty cop. It doesn't matter what I believe. Yes. In short, yes.

But there are stories that I've heard from people in Minnesota about the dealings between him and George Floyd and those two were not exactly the nicest people, right?

It's the same thing with George Floyd, right? When I tell black people, I'm like, yo, look, George Floyd ain't exactly Martin Luther King Jr., right? It's the same thing with Derek Chauvin. I'm like, yo, this dude ain't exactly Captain America. So don't throw away the country for one cop. That's the deontological versus utilitarian moral worldview challenge

we all face. And it wouldn't matter anyways. You gotta sacrifice him. You gotta sacrifice him. Hey, Derek, show me. We got an election to win. You're gonna have to sit out in prison. He does it on his way out the door at the end of his term. And this is one of those things that you're just not going to. But then not right now.

There's an information gap between the people that actually followed this case closely and looked at the medical examiner's report and looks at all of the information connected to it. It was a very, very emotional response from a lot of the country in relation to this. And they would lose a lot of support if they did this right now. You know, I something that wouldn't get him out of jail. I'd I'd I'd take one term as president because I would just do the—I'd pardon so many people. Like, just insane pardons. Like, most nonviolent offenses—I say most because some—we talked about this before with, like, what if Trump pardoned all, like, marijuana-related federal charges? The issue is that some of them, you know, pleaded down from violent or very dangerous, very bad things.

Some are cartel members you don't want free. Just because we got him on the pot thing doesn't mean we don't know about all that stuff he did. But there's a lot of people I'd say, just get him out. Like nonviolent offenses that we know is just some dude who had a bunch of weed or whatever. It's like we don't want to deal with this stuff. But if I had just one term, I'd be pardoned left and right, and I'd be locking up left and right. People who work in – I've already mentioned this over and over again. These CBP agents who are trafficking kids and knew it, the people who are transporting illegal immigrants and knew it, and they work for these bus companies or whatever, I'd be locking people up like crazy.

I guess I'm just saying like right now, Trump's in this position where he's not running for re-election. Right. After the midterms, maybe he goes more ham than he already is. Trump's in this position where he's not running for reelection. After the midterms, maybe he goes more ham than he already is. Yeah, but the thing is, he's going to start be planning for 2028 for whoever comes next. Right. Just because he especially if we're talking about Vance being the one that runs in 2028, then whatever Trump does on his way out will be will color how people feel about Vance even if vance had nothing to do with those decisions right but the thing is if you've got a corpse of a democrat party don't give it life i agreed yes and when you do stuff like this you give them something to talk about let them die man you know there's a this is a this is a this is the philosophical conundrum, the trolley problem. Would you sacrifice a single individual for the greater good or for the larger society?

Fill his commissary. That's tough, man. Yeah, that's true. You know, get him a nice couch. Make sure you take care of him. Get the guards to take care of him. Hey, listen, the mob used to do stuff like that, right? If that's your guy, take care of him. Tear down the wall in his cell. Give him two cells, put a TV, get a jacuzzi in there.

Send a couple of girls in every once in a while. Look, they could do that. Like I said before, I'm from Minnesota. The Minneapolis cops are not exactly known as the most reputable police force, or at least they weren't. That's all I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. So you said Ben was grifting. Why do you think he's doing it?

Because he couldn't buy Tim Kass. He couldn't buy Tim Kass, so he's like, damn, what am I going to do next? Break glass in case of emergency. This was his backup option. No, I do love that all of these Zaju's people were screaming at the top of their lungs claiming they claimed Daily Wire already owned Tim Kist. Right. There was an article that said Daily Wire had a minority stake in the company.

It's like none of this was ever true. I'm a fan of their work. Matt Walsh does amazing stuff. Friends with them. I've, you know, I got no beef. I think they're good people, whatever. And when these people run this narrative, no apologies, no backtracking. They just – so I'll say this.

They said you got a yarmulke under your beanie. They still think that you're owned by the Jews. No, no, no, no, no. So when Jake Shields – Uh-oh. Yeah, and some of the other people who are like – their brains have – like they got what – He's a fighter. You know his brain.

He got CTE and something. cte and a lot of followers but when he says one time that tim sold his company to jews he's got followers who to this day believe that and it was never true and i bet him a bottle of pappy whiskey it wasn't true and he just disappeared on the issue like a little baby just he just ran away and said i'm not to say anything about nothing. So what I will say about those people is think about how wrong he was about that and how he adamantly kept screaming it. Think about everything else he's saying. The dude is just, it's crazy how wrong he is, but he gets propped up.

I think he's probably getting a lot of bot traffic. I was just about to say that. Y'all, listen. All these dudes that's pushing this anti-Semite stuff, the only reason why they're doing it is because they think they're getting traction. But the traction is coming from bot traffic. They are being manipulated. So the thing is, they say the Jews, and then it gets a spike in traffic.

But there's somebody manipulating them. I ain't going to say who because I don't know. I can speculate, but I don't know. But somebody's pushing bot buttons, and these people are being controlled by bot farms because they think they're getting real engagement, and they are not getting real engagement. I think it's important to clarify that certainly there are a lot of people who are following them and do believe this stuff. Yes. And what happens is when you point out there are bot campaigns that are easily visible people think you're accusing them of being a bot so we'll clarify no i'll say this i do believe the whole the jews thing that

we're seeing where it's like people acclaimed that we were owned by i mean it's crazy because the it's like you got catholics working at daily wire but i think the reason why there is a bot campaign in this regard is it gives the big platforms an excuse to shadow ban and it kills your advertising revenue. So I'll just say this. I'm not going to speak about any of the big names personally, but how is it that you can have, and I'll be as vague as possible because there's probably like 15 to 30 people who fit this category. They are podcasters in the space of A. And it's just like variable X. We'll call it variable X. And maybe it's billiards.

Maybe it's racing. And now they're only talking about Jews. Because what happens is somebody will post something and it will hit the keywords that will generate likes and retweets. Weak willed people see that and go, oh, boy, this works. I should do it. And they chase after it. Yeah. So here's what happens.

Somebody's like, I played billiards today and they're posting billiards videos. Then the Israel Palestine things happens and they see it and they go, man, that's crazy. And so they tweet, I don't know what I'm seeing, but these bomb strikes in Gaza freak me out. All of a sudden, they get 100 responses and 73 retweets, and the people are responding being like, oh my God, how bad is this? I can't believe Israel would do this. And then they see that, and they go, my billiard video got 3,000 views. My Israel video got 10,000 views. Switch up. So they say, I'm going to post another one.

Then the X revenue comes in. Now they got 300 bucks and they're like, whoa. There it is. I remember when, who is it? It's a feedback loop. It is. There was that one dude who claimed that GTA was run by the Jews. Do you remember that?

The Grand Theft Auto video game. Yeah, I can't remember. What's the guy's name? I don't know. People in the chat will probably know. But he tweeted something like, Grand Theft Auto is going woke because it's run by Jews. And I'm like, okay. And he got a bunch of retweets on it.

I don't even remember the game going woke. It seemed very anti-woke. Because they put a woman as a protagonist of the new game. But I thought that was genius because we never got that. And now you get to play the whole Bonnie and Clyde situation. You could still go buy a hooker killer and take the money back. Here's the genius behind adding a woman. It's not about wokeness.

It's about the fact that what do you have entering the gaming community in big numbers right now? Not women. Female gamers. That's not true. What? It's fake. What they did, so this has been a controversy for 15 years.

Yeah. Women entered the gaming space with Candy Crush. Phone games. Phone games. Right. Candy Crush principally. Yeah. Not AAA games like first person shooters and GTA.

Women still do not play those games. So imagine if they said, did you know that the fastest growing demographic in podcasting was young Gen Z women? Timcast IRL better start doing makeup tutorials. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Timcast and podcasting in news and culture is still 80% male. Yes. The spaces that have attracted females have been principally sex podcasts. I'm not being crude. Call her daddy. Call her daddy. And so if someone came out and said, women is a fast-growing demographic,

quick, turn your news and culture podcast for pro-women, you're going to lose everything. Women play Candy Crush. They don't play GTA. Oh, no, Tim. It's a fact. I'm not making that up. All right, so I'm basing this off anecdotal evidence,

which is why it's different. And I'm not saying it's the fastest-growing demographic. I won't making that up. All right, so I'm basing this off of anecdotal evidence, which is why it's different. And I'm not saying it's the fastest-growing demographic. I won't say that. What I am saying is I've never seen so many women in my sphere pick up COD, Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Grand Theft Auto. Numbers aren't there. I know the numbers aren't there, but women have a huge influence because they have boobs. Certainly. And they are going to draw in a large crowd.

Because you see the, what do the kick guys do? What do the Twitch guys do? It's 80-20. It is 80-20. But they always bring on the OnlyFans girls to pump up their numbers. And the women who are playing these games are likely doing it because they're doing streaming content. Yeah. And they get eyeballs.

Correct. But they don't, at the ground level, they're not going to buy the games. And if you cater. No, they're not going to buy the games. And that's, so you cater to this demographic, you will lose money. No, I don't think they're catering to the demographic. They absolutely are. You think GTA is?

It's like, not just GTA, but tons of games have tried implementing this feminist worldview and it has bombed their games miserable like what like what game you have so first we're talking about an overlap his heavenly sword was fire i didn't play that one that was great right now uh you've got two big controversies uh dragon age crashed miserably a trip triple a game flopped really and the it is believed the main reason may be i think it is personally that they introduced feminist politics woke politics into the game gender ideology disgusting and a video went viral that was a two it was like a three minute cut scene where you had to listen to

someone explain why you can't misgender people and then next thing we know dragon age which was a it's a massive franchise bombs wow at the. At the same time, Marvel Rivals is super popular. Probably the biggest game right now. And what do the women look like in that game? They got big booties and big titties. The men are ridiculously jacked, oversized. And the woke are complaining you can't gender swap the characters. And the game's like, shut up.

The women, yo, they just rolled out Sue Storm, and she may as well be not wearing any clothes. They basically put a naked woman and painted her white and blue. And get this, I don't know why they did this, but Reed Richards has gaps in his junk, in his suit, his unitard, with his pubes sticking out. I don't know what that's all about. But the new GTA chick, they twer with his pubes sticking out. I don't know what that's all about. Okay. But the new,

the new GTA chick, they twerking on top of the car. Like that's what I want to see that. I want to see, but the thing is, you want to play that. You want to be that character. Is that who you want to be?

No, the male power fantasy and GTA is to run around, pull a guy out of his car, steal it and run it up, drive it off a bridge or whatever. And it's the same thing. It's, it's the same type of feminist messaging that's failed in Hollywood wherewood where they make uh they want to put more women in movies but the movies that

have to make it at the big budget box office stuff have to be spy thrillers they have to be i don't want to see no woman doing man stuff well then that's the thing though see the problem is what they don't understand is they think that by putting the female characters in the male role that they're going to bring in the female audience, not understanding that the women will come for it anyways because they want to see the male in that role too. They're doing this right now. Okay, so they just released

the information that Jeff Bezos, after finding out that Barbara Broccoli, after they bought MGM, was like, they came to Barbara Broccoli, who's the one who shepherded James Bond through Eon Productions. They said, here's what we want to do. We want to do a Moneypenny series.

We want to do a female James Bond. And she's like, these people are idiots. And Jeff Bezos is like, I don't care how much money you have to pay her, pay her so we can get rid of her. They gave her a billion dollars. They gave her a billion dollars because she understands that whatever you want to say about past casting. Men want to be him. Women want to be with him. And for the last 15 years, they have fought that tooth and nail trying to put women in the roles that men want when they don't understand that women want to see the men there, too. Real quick, what was the last James Bond where he had a black female?

No Time to Die. No Time to Die. Because they're trying to set her up to be either as as a spinoff movie or a principal character they keep trying to do this thing where they're like women want to be action stars no they do not and and the proof is in the pudding look at marvel's so captain marvel made it made what like a billion dollars the first one not because it's a strong woman this was right before endgame it was right before endgame and they said this was going to tie directly into it and people thought marvel movies are good i'll see this one and guess what happened in the marvels the sequel it was a massive flop made 43 million

dollars its opening weekend it ended up making like less than 400 it did not recover its budget as far as i know well under its budget and and it's it'suled. The crazy thing is they said, the Marvel team was pumping out PR that Brie Larson would replace Robert Downey Jr. as the principal character bringing the MCU together. So, as we know, for those that watch the Marvel movies, Iron Man

really kicked it off. The Hulk movie, people didn't really care for. Except for Captain America Brave New World. It ends up being a freaking Hulk sequel. When Man the first movie comes out Robert Downey Jr. steals the show and and makes ridiculous amounts of money and so all of a sudden they start creating these movies and Iron Man is the single is a central piece of this of the set they said okay after Endgame right who do we have after Iron Man? Captain Marvel will take over. So they tried to jam Brie Larson, an unlikable human.

Like, I'm sorry. Like, I mean, this with no disrespect, which is very unlikable into this action star role that was despised. And they tried. Backlash was immense. Revenue collapsed. Kevin Feige reportedly last August started firing all the woke producers. I'm sure you know more about this than I do. And now Brie Larson's nowhere to be found. She appears passively sometimes

in some of these films. She'll make a brief appearance. She was supposed to be Iron Man, but people did not want to see women doing man stuff. Well, here's my thing. We ain't like Lara Croft. I think there's something... Rare and earlier in the... Hold on, hold on. Why did we like laura croft she had big triangle boobs

this is what i'm saying as long as the girl in gta got a big booty because a lot of black men played gta if she got a big booty and she's got some cassavas it's gonna be it's gonna be a go it's gonna be a go now she you are not wrong now if she comes out and she's a stud, we might have a problem. If she's not hot, if she don't have a nice voice. That's its own issue in video games is the way they draw the female characters now. So I go back to the old World of Warcraft days, and there was a viral meme because everybody knew that like you're playing world of warcraft they're with female characters running around that's a guy okay there's no women playing world of warcraft there were some but it was 80 20 and you'd be on we use team speak what was the other

you guys play we use team speak so we're doing a raid on like on garage we got 40 people and like you know out of 40 17 are female characters but we're in team chat and it's all guys and the meme that went viral at the time was if i'm gonna stare at an ass all day it's gonna be a girls correct the dudes weren't playing female characters because they wanted to be female warriors they wanted to see the the woman in the bikini running around bouncing around that's why in world of warcraft and all these games you would you would your character would defeat the dragon or whatever and the dragon would drop the um the guardian's armor of eternal force and when the man put it on he's in this ridiculously decked out scale armor when the woman put it on it was a bikini same same item for a female character was a bikini

for a man was this ridiculous big suit because the guy just wanted to watch naked women run around that's what i'm saying so i think you know the gta characters you know you could run and they gonna have the main character she's gonna be running around with her ass out i mean her butt out i think that's what's gonna happen but i think it's gonna be like gta 5 where you get to switch between characters they're all gonna have their different role but i think it's gonna be a bon Bonnie and Clyde thing, and I think that's going to be fun. Well, basically, when we look at why these games move in that direction, it was largely feminist politics, largely pushed by women targeting female demographics, and it never worked. Now, when you look at Marvel rivals, once again, like I'll say this, they introduced Sue Storm, and the way they draw superheroes has always been their naked bodies

that are colored and it and it looks like they're wearing unitards but they're literally drawing and this is this is this is a well-known fact yeah exactly it's well-known fact that in comic books superheroes are typically drawn as nude but they color the body yeah they don't give them clothing they don't give them suits you see every vein every muscle they're basically naked bodies oh i love it uh yeah uh i i want to i want to see here's my issue with what i saw online what i saw online were uh conservatives saying oh my god why is she twerking on the top of a cop car and i go what that's that's when i said that's that's woke right to me this is grand theft auto You ain't been to the strip club in Grand Theft Auto. It's a degenerate game.

It's supposed to be degenerate behavior. Wait till you see what else happens. I got to be honest. I'm going to play GTA. I never played the story. Really? I absolutely hate that when you, like in GTA, I think with GTA 5, you had to do the initial story to get through it.

So you could actually just run around the city and do whatever you wanted. I hate the story. I don't care. I love this story. I don't care. Let me tell you why I love the story because every mission is from a heist movie. So it's like, if you in every game,

at least the last one. Yeah. Well, the one was you play Scarface in, uh was that, Vice City, I think it was? Vice City, you're playing Scarface. So I'm like, I'm reliving being Scarface. I love that. But the last one, you've got scenes from Italian Job that you relive, right?

It's all different heist movies. It's not like they recreate the missions. They steal them directly from movies, and that's what I love about it. I got to say, like, here's an article, and this is, like, a clip, apparently, of, like, the character, I guess. I'm so—what's the right word? Put off by the attempt of shoehorning this stuff into games. My tolerance is gone. It's gone.

It's zero. So, have you seen the Dragon Age thing? I have not. I got to show—okay, let's do this. For those that don't know, Dragon Age, Veilguard Woke. It's a. So have you seen the Dragon Age thing? I have not. I got to show. Okay, well, let's do this. For those that don't know, Dragon Age, Veil Guard woke. It's a default search. Google already has it pulled up. This is a AAA video game that bombed.

And look at this. They say this is from the 24th. Veil Guard's clumsy, preachy political messaging does more harm than good. She's not hot. Hundreds of millions of dollars it costs, too. Do they have the video in here? Here you go. You ready for this one?

So I'm going to play this for you. What they're saying now is the game didn't resonate with a large enough audience. I wonder why. Listen to this. Bounding that snake's nose. She's still holding the ruby in her other hand. It's not expanding, so I'm opening up an X. Let's play it. B pounding that snake's nose she's still holding the ruby in her other hand maker's panties i was so proud

oh um ah shit they they're still holding it sorry good grief watch watch what are you doing Sorry. Watch, watch, watch. apologies so when one of us screws up and we know we've screwed up we do a quick 10 to put it right pulling above pretty sure a three minute explanation and 10 push-ups with an explanation of uh with pulling a barb as a name of it is a long drawn out apology but this is two and two two minutes long there we go you are forced to interact with this here you go that's very open minded i'm glad the laws of Fortune have Tarsh's back. Oh, Tarsh isn't the first non-binary member of the Lords. Oh, my God. No wonder why this was a flop.

Oh, brother. Bastard looked better than I did in a dress or pants. What? And out of them, too. I let my kids win it. Look it, look it. Here you go. Any reason you can't just apologize?

Sometimes people say, oops, sorry, and hope that fixes it. But they just want to get the whole thing over with. Trust me, I know. But pulling a barf, you sweat a little. Makes you think about it a little more. Shows the other person you mean it. What if they mean it when they say they're sorry, though? And that's the other reason.

We don't need to hear the rest of this. Clearly, the developers were intending to make pulling a bar of a thing among people. This game bombed. Look, I love Dragon Age. It's a great game. I did not play this one. I will never touch that controller. It's a free game now.

So that's the big news. It's been out for only a couple months, and it's available now as a free download for PS Plus. And look, men love games and movies that set you out on adventures. Women love stories where you sit around and talk. And pull barbs. And pull barbs. I wouldn't let my kids play this game.

I'd unplug the PlayStation if they was playing this. Just walk by. Oops. I remember we were playing not the last Spider-Man, but the Spider-Man before that. And it was like this extra mission. And then you get the BLM

costume. Because my kids, I brainwashed them with the right-wing politics. They were like, oh my god, look at the Black Lives Matter on the wall. Oh, my God. I was like, see? And I teach them. I said, they'll put the propaganda right in the video games.

It's absolutely disgusting. That's terrible. Show them the Middle Eastern version of that game that doesn't have the pride flags. Really? Yeah. Yeah. You can't pull that in the Middle East. Well, because it's still from a company that wants to sell things in other regions, right?

So they're only politically correct here. So basically, my view is largely this. My tolerance for anything like that, there is some rumors that they want to do a Bonnie and Clyde style thing, which means it's not going to be a female protagonist, it's going to be one or the other. Right. I don't care. You're going to play as both. I'm not going to buy the game. You're's going to be one or the other. Right. I don't care. You're going to play as both. I'm not going to buy the game.

You're not going to buy this one? No. Why? I'm going to wait a month or two and then just see what happens first because I'm too jaded from – it's not just that they're making it a woman. It's really not that big a deal. I don't trust these games. You get any inkling of they're trying to go in that direction and I'm going to wait a woman. It's really not that big a deal. I don't trust these games. You get any inkling of

they're trying to go in that direction and I'm like, I'm going to wait a month. GTA is usually... It's a very different world now. They haven't made a game in a decade. I watched the last game 12 years ago. But it's Trump's era now. It was made during the... Well, in the past 10 years.

I got faith in Rockstar. I got faith in Rockstar. If you listen to the radio during GTA V, they were making fun of the woke stuff in GTA V. You remember that you listen to the radio, they make fun of liberals through the entire game. I'm telling you. So I can only imagine what's going to happen. I want you to be right.

I want you to be right, too. I just think 10 years is a long... When was 5 May, 2013? Yeah, it was a minute. And in that time think 10 years is a long... When was 5 made? 2013? Yeah, it was a minute. And in that time, 10 years, you have a 16-year-old woman. 10 years later, she's 26, and she's working at these companies,

and these companies are going to be different, like Bud Light. My only issue is, you know, she's just not that pretty, man. You know, they could have got AOC to... That's the sign. Look at... That's the sign. Yeah. Look it.

Okay, I'm going to pull this up for you guys. Yeah, that's a bad sign. Her face is a bad sign. It's a little too thick. Her face is too bulgy. You know, the geometry is off on her face. Let me see if I can find the Sue Storm. I think this is it right here.

Looks like she had too many burritos. She's a gotita. So this is what they did for Marvel Rivals. And the women there are drawn like they're naked. I'm not... Right. And so the issue is, whenever they start making frumpy women in these games,

it's like, I don't trust... If Rockstar was being Rockstar, she would be a little bit more of the top. Her arms are big. Her arms are big, man. She's been at Cluckinbell too many times. If Rockstar was being Rockstar, she would be a little bit more of the top. Her arms are big. Her arms are big, man. She's been at Cluck and Bell too many times. And your attitude is actually really, really common now.

For me, it's the same way. If I start a new show, I tell you all the time, look, I don't have any faith in new media that comes out. So if there's a new show that comes out, it takes about four episodes of me where they have to get it right 100% of the time. And if anything sticks out to me as particularly noticeable with like over-the-top political messaging, I just turn it off immediately because it's not worth it. Listen, I'm black. Y'all don't know how bad it is to be black because I can't watch a black show and not run into this stuff.

You know what I'm saying? I'm sitting around watching Power. Power is one of my favorite shows. Power is – the first season of Power is one of my favorite television seasons ever. You cannot go through a season and not get something that's woke. And I'm like, damn, they even got my boy 50. The new...

I didn't watch anything past the original series. Everything black got something in it that's woke. The introduction to Ghost in that show is one of the greatest introductions to a character ever. What show are you guys talking about? Power with Omari Hardwick and I guess 50 Cent later. Is that a TV show?

TV show. 50 Cent produced it. Was it Courtney? What is it about? It's about a drug kingpin who runs a nightclub. And it's really, really freaking good. At least that first three or four seasons were really, really freaking good. Gangster.

Joseph Sikora plays one of the greatest villains you'll ever see. And what's funny about it is, so Ghost is like this guy. He's a drug kingpin. He runs a nightclub. But really, he's a dude who's kind of torn between worlds. He wants to go legit. And the whole show is about him kind of dreaming about going legit and not being able to do so. But his best friend wants none of it

and actually laughs at him at the idea of ever going legit. And they made the white dude, the absolute unrepentant street dude. It's crazy. Tommy's pretty scary. Tommy's amazing. Everyone should at least watch the first three or four seasons of that show. You're lucky you're white, man. White privilege is being able to watch something without wokeness.

That's where we are right now. I mean, not a whole lot. So you're saying power didn't have... Listen. It is or is not woke? They have some wokeness. It's not woke, but they slide. It's all like that.

Later seasons. I just saw that movie Companion. Have you guys heard of the movie Companion? Heard of it, have not seen it. So I just watched it. The trailer is miserably awful. So it's like I'm on Amazon and I saw that. And the trailer, the movie's thumbnail, I guess you'd call it,

it looks like a guy whispering to a robot woman and his companion. So my assumption was it must be about a guy who has like a fake robot wife or whatever. Then you watch the trailer, and the trailer just looks like some weird chick flick drama, and I'm like, I ain't watching that. And then today I was like, well, you know, we watched everything else. We put it on. It is, in fact, about a guy who has a robot wife. And for some reason, it's a guy and his robot wife and a gay couple. And I'm like, OK, listen, it's fine when sometimes there's gay characters in a movie. The problem is every single studio says, hey, we should put a gay couple.

We should have two guys hooking up in this film. And it's like, guys, when you all do it, it's just it's weird that it's 100 percent of films doing it. So that's that's that's the woke stuff right yeah for whatever reason they decided they're going to put all of this gay stuff in all these films and it's just it just every movie now yeah you know so now i gotta watch white stuff like tulsa king tulsa king's good too it's amazing uh i would check out paradise with sterling k brown paradise is my that's my joint what is that It's, well, the world comes to an end and they have to build a world underground

and they select 25,000 people to go live underground. Really? And the president- Remember how Truman Show had that fake world? It's kind of like Wayward Pines meets The Truman Show. Right. Sterling K. Brown is probably one of the best actors working today, but even in that,

there's a little bit of like- A little bit like, the white characters are all kind of like vile and they have layers, but Sterling K. Brown isn't really allowed to do that. He has to kind of be perfect all the time because they don't want to risk any of the black characters seeming like they could be bad guys. So they're all what the term in culture is soulful saints, meaning they can't have any flaws whatsoever. And it does him a disservice because he doesn't get to stretch his legs as an actor. While all the other characters get to be like his best friend. They think he's a bad guy. He is a bad guy. You're even suspecting him.

Yeah, like the end of the episode, they're like, you can't trust Billy. And he's just got the meanest face you've ever seen in your entire life. Ends up he's flawed, like he's still friends with him he gets layers but the other characters don't because the writers are terrified to write characters that are not white in anything other than perfect that's what i'm saying they should hire me i could just tell them i can't write it but i'll be like hey fix this what i what i don't understand in all of these things is why they haven't figured it out yet but we all have it's like hey I got an idea remember Iron Man 1 you made a billion dollars off it and launched this big multi-billion dollar franchise we all loved

now look at what you're making with Captain America Brave New World can you now see the difference even if they figured it out like a year ago they've still got all this stuff that's been in production for oh yeah it's gonna take years times for the stuff for it to actually filter out into society i i imagine there are a lot of people in hollywood and in you know in in the entertainment industry that are like look this isn't good this is not working we need to change right now immediately we need to do what we can to patch up the things that have not been released yet that are just starting production. We need to start production on things that do not focus on these type of topics.

What's going to happen is we're going to start moving to foreign films, like the platform, right? Yep. I thought that was phenomenal. I didn't see that one. What was that one about? How do you even describe the platform? So basically, there's this platform, right? So let's say you've done something wrong.

Like, what's the thing with the game? Squid games, right? It's like squid games, but there's this platform. And basically, you have, let's say, floor one and then floor 100. And everybody gets to have their favorite food added to this platform. So as it gets to the bottom, naturally, by the time it gets to the bottom, it ain't nothing but bones. But then there's like this lottery and it shuffles. So you get put on a different platform and then it gets really gory.

It's a, but where are people living on the platform or something? Yeah, it's like jail. It's jail. Oh, I see. So the platform low is like, you got like two minutes. You got to eat what you can. Or you get crushed. You can get, people get crushed. People get crushed.

People get tossed over. It gets really bloody and gory, right? So it's just, my point is, there's a lot of foreign writing. For example, Black Mirror. Black Mirror was great season one and two because they had the foreign writers. As soon as they passed it on to Netflix and sold it off, you could tell where the writers changed. They're not bogged down with the same identity politics that we are here in America.

But I'll tell you this, Squid Games 2 sucked and was woke. I didn't watch it. I refused. I heard you and other people say it. I'm like, I ain't. Don't watch it. Don't watch it. I was skipping through a lot of it. So basically what they did was they said, we have an idea.

The first, I say like the beginning is really good okay and then the first episode is like starts off kind of slow gets a little good goes a little bad second episode's a little good and then just falls completely off and there's no ending it's a fake it's a fake season it's where they draw it out as long as possible and then it ends without any conclusion to anything happening so nothing ends and they have a trans character in the show who is invincible and can do no wrong and saves everybody and they spend probably like i don't know a decent amount of the show explaining why it's so it starts with an old woman in the squid games seeing the trans person and getting mad and then they start explaining to you why it's okay to be trans then they have the trans

person save a bunch of people and be the hero then the trans like it's it's and i'm like dude i don't care if you have a trans person in the show but you're beating me in the face with the with the bag of a sack of sweet valencia oranges over here man i wouldn't have made it through the first episode man it's not the first episode, though. It's like by episode three. Yeah. So I'll give you a partial spoiler, right? Main character dude from the first one, some stuff happens.

He finds himself back in the game. You'd see that through the trailer. So the first episode, he's not in the game. Then he's in the game. And in the game, they introduce new characters. There's an old woman, and she's like, why does that man look like a woman? And then everyone's like, you can't say that. That person person is transgender then they end up teaming up with a trans person then during the games the trans person saves the day by being able to help people perform tasks they

couldn't perform and it is ham-fisted and punching you in the face over and over again screaming empathize with this person they're a good person and then uh it just stops. The show just ends. I'm going to tell you, you watch the show. There's probably one episode's worth of story over eight episodes, and then it just ends without resolving anything. So actually, imagine you have an hour long show. It reaches the end of act two, you're approaching the climax. And then right, right before the climax of the show, it ends. It rolls credits. And that's it. Now, normally, you'd be like, let's watch the next episode.

Right. Now, imagine the whole show was that. And you're basically waiting. Boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring. Oh, man, something's happening. And then the season's over. And you're like, but nothing happened. That's squid game.

That's terrible. So pissed. That is one of the reasons that streaming is struggling. It's like TV was better when it was 22 episodes a year and you got a bunch of filler episodes. Now every episode is filler and it's eight episodes with really about one episode where the story that they drag out. Even Paradise moves a little slow. But hold on, hold on. Paradise does move a little slow.

The first Squid Game was good. It was great. And they had something with season two. But instead of saying, hey, let's finish our story in eight episodes, they said, let's take. OK, so I imagine they have a story to fill eight episodes. They probably run the treatments. Episode one, two, three, four. By episode three, they said, stop.

Don't use any of the remaining treatments we have and end the season on episode three, but we need eight episodes, stretch episode three out to eight episodes. Okay. And so that's basically what it is. And then they say, wait, wait, but don't end episode three because episode three ends with a cliffhanger. It's supposed to go on episode four, right? So it just basically you get five episodes where I'm going to tell you probably a half an hour of each episode is people sitting in the waiting room talking. I'm not kidding. Yep. So, you know how in Squid Games they have the big waiting room with the bunk beds?

Yeah. Half of each episode is people just hanging out talking. It's cheaper to do that. And in a couple of episodes, half of it is talking about why it's good to be trans. I bet you if you look it up, Netflix probably bought the rights from the writers and then took it over. I guarantee if you look it up, that's probably what happened.

Maybe because the original guy who made it was like, here's my story, bye. And they said, how can we make more money off it? Right. Because that's what Netflix does. They see something that's great, a series that's got a brand, and they're like, we can milk this. And the dude's like, I only wrote one season.

Here's the problem, though, is Netflix is the most dominant of those streamers, and it's not even close. Not even close. Seven out of the ten top shows every week are consistently Netflix shows. Here's the other thing. I think Severance is awful, and I couldn't get past the first episode. In fact, when he walked for two minutes, I turned it off. Imagine watching Apple TV.

I know, seriously. But people say Severance is great. Okay, Lost is evil garbage and From is evil garbage. And then I was told that Severance is very much like Lost and From all the same. And I said, I don't watch those fake shows. These are fake shows. And I mean it. The way a fake show works

like, anybody who's watched Lost knows it's a fake show. And if you've watched From... It's a fake show. The way it works is we will be in, okay, Ryder says says give me a nondescript location how about it's a podcast studio and the doors are all closed okay why are they there we don't know it's called the mystery box now james uh that's jj abrams okay now they're there so what happens when this place well clearly they want to get out right yes and they're hungry we're gonna

need some kind of uh shock content by the end of the first episode. Otherwise, people will be bored and won't come back. Okay. So in the first episode, they're trapped in a podcast studio. The doors won't open. Nobody remembers how they got there. And they start arguing with each other because they're hungry and there's nowhere to go bathroom. So then you have some conflict there. And then we're going to do it at the end of the episode. We're going to have a loud roar shake the building. And then all of a sudden, you're going to hear banging on the door and scratching. And then the characters look at each other. The show ends.

Show ends. Right. Okay. Next episode, it starts. And you hear the door. The door breaks open. And then splinters go flying. You're like, whoa, what happened?

And then there's nothing there. Nobody's there. So basically, fake shows, the way they work is writers will write probably one page and say have them fight with each other. And then only at the last minute, I don't know, a dragon screams and you hear a screech. And then the next episode they go, okay, so why was the dragon screeching? The dragon is underground? Okay, great. Let's start that.

And then at the end of this episode, what happens? At the end of this episode, lava bursts from the floor. Okay, and the episode ends. That's how From is. You ever watch From? No.

And what I was told was it's kind of how Severance is as well, but I stopped watching Severance because it started doing this. So I turned it off. It shows where they clearly haven't written it. They say, give us a premise of people trapped. And then at the end of every episode, insert a random thing. So famously from the guy finds a lighthouse and then, and then he

hears a music box and then he turns around and there's a music box on the ground and he's shaking and the episode ends. Nothing happened. But that's a fake show, right? Nothing's happening. Everybody knows that Alias is J.J. Abrams' best work. We're going to go to Super Chats. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know.

Explain to me why you think Severance is a good show because I turned it on and then I don't know the actor's name but he walked through a hall for a minute and a half. I looked at Allison and she looked at me. We shrugged and we turned it off. No, I'm not kidding the actor's name, but he walked through a hall for a minute and a half. I looked at Allison. She looked at me. We shrugged and we turned it off. No, I'm not kidding. You watched it, right?

I just, I make fun of Apple TV constantly. I just, I don't have a monocle. I'm not, I'm not highbrow enough to watch Apple TV. People apparently love those shows. They love Lost. They love From. They love Severance. And I don't know how much Severance is like that because I refuse, as soon as I get an inkling they're doing that, I stop watching it.

Yeah. So I just, off. All right, here we go. We're going to grab grab super chats and rumble rants from y'all shane wilder says happy friday guys brett has asked everyone to remember to help the brett dasvik foundation to save the gongo he is passionate about this um yes i told him about it last night yeah you have to you had to explain. We were making fun of the people when you're complaining about something online. Like, how can you care about this issue when there's a genocide going on in Gaza or a femicide going on in the Congo? And I screwed it up and I said femigenocide in the Congo. Femigenocide.

I think I said genocide in the Congo, but we'll just say it's a femigenocide. It's my favorite meme in a long time. Yeah, it's very good. We can save them, guys. Nixon says, Tim, bring back the best docu-series ever made, KOTR, where there's a will, there's a way, good sir. Are you saying King of the Road? Knights of the Old Republic? The first thing I thought was Knights of the Old Republic, but that's K-T-O-R.

Yes. Wait. Wait. Knights of, no, it is K-T-O, because it's KOTOR. It's K-O-T-O-R. Yes. Wait. Wait. Knights of... No, it's... It is K-T-O because it's KOTOR. It's K-O-T-O-R. Or it could be King of the Ring. Yeah. King of the Road was a skateboard thing where they had like a handful of teams where each

given tasks they had to perform and then told to go on this road trip and they'd film themselves trying to do things where it would be like... Funded. That sounds awesome. I think these people didn't get paid a lot of money. I don't know. Yeah. trying to do things where it would be like... Funded it. That sounds awesome. I think these people didn't get paid a lot of money. But it would be like, you have a list, a to-do list on your trip, and it's, you know... That's not rule rules?

No, King of the Road was like skateboarders being told, you've got to tray flip a 10 stair, you've got to kickflip front board, that's it. There was a skate contest during COVID where everybody basically got tasks that they had to go and film and then make edits. Yeah, I remember Road Rules. Oh, that was great, man. Road World and Road Rules.

That was the beginning of reality TV. Absolutely. Kenneth Hart says, Tim, didn't mean to put you on the spot. PCC is sort of becoming its own subculture. Went looking for a podcast while you're on Christmas break. Figured the audio wouldn't suck. Now I listen daily. You should listen to Pop Culture Crisis. Monday through Friday, guys, at 3 p.m. Eastern.

What are you doing? You're at work. You're probably bored. Put one headphone in and watch. Come on. PopCultureCrisis.com? Yes. You asked me that one time.

I'm like, I have no idea. Yeah. Because you were like, YouTube.com slash Pop Culture Crisis. And I was like, or PopCultureCrisis.com. Or go to TimCast.com, and you can find it on there as well. Yeah, if you go to TimCast.com at 3 o'clock, it's fine. What do we have here? Polly Puree says, Tim is right about Obama.

Obama was as tough on illegals as Trump. Obama didn't have the big mess that old Joe had. Deporter-in-chief. He wasn't as tough, but he was the deporter-in-chief, people called him. Yeah, and then Joe came in and was like, open the door. Surge the border. Jason Dixon says, Tim, great guest idea. Sinoski with Quiet Part Out Loud podcast.

From your Discord, he started from here, from your community. Join TimCast.com. Indeed, and we are actually trying to find a way when we will have him booked and in the schedule. That's awesome. We definitely, we had Romanation on. Congratulations.

For those that don't know, Tim had Romanation on. Congratulations. Yep. For those that don't know, timcast.com, you click join us. Then there's the Discord server. You sign up, you're in this community, 20,000 plus individuals all hanging out.

And we've had a handful of people launch podcasts in the server. Cause everybody's there hanging out already. Imagine this. You go on the server and you're like, I'm gonna start a show. And there's 20,000 people just listening to your show right away. It's the coolest thing ever. Whenever they do the post show, I would go in and spam Fetterman 2028.

Oh, there you go. Let's see. What have we here? Down and Out Nashville says, congratulations, Tim. Great job on family. I've got one daughter and four beautiful grandkids. Everything else in life is just a bonus. Wow. That's based.

Very cool. Let's see what we got in the old rumble rants what are y'all saying over here all right fader says how many wins are the denver broncos getting in the 2025 season and is there an eta on timcast sports can you get a joy can you get joy read to host i think one of the easiest things we can do is actually Saturdays to start with Chuck and Kellen and I don't know, maybe some other people and do a sports sports show. Ideally, we would do something every single day. We got to figure out the space for it. Yeah.

You got to put up a space to do it. Put in one of our V's. Yeah. Well, we were talking because we have we have the two of the trailers that are set up to be mobile studios. The problem is the AC insulation. In the summer, it's insane in there. Right, and bathrooms. And so we could figure something out.

All right. Evan for USS, did y'all see Cash talk about the U.S. Army soldiers stealing U.S. intelligence and how they'll face justice? I did. Yo, Cash is boost. You heard this? Mm-mm. He announced that they arrested two dudes who were selling secrets. He's getting a business.

Yeah. Jammy Broccodile says, hate playing politics, but I think Trump should sit on the Chauvin verdict till later in the term. Doing it now will only keep the racist BS going. But let's get a pardon for Jammy and save the Broccodile. OK. That's a real hard one to get people to talk about, right? Because it does involve getting into the nitty gritty of like the uncomfortable side of politics.

Yeah. All right. Let's see what else we have here. We'll pull up one of these super chits. Oh, what is this? What is this? Gandalf the Bay says, Gavin ends his term, endorses Kamala for governor. Gavin leads a new podcast,

grows new ideas, runs in 2028. He is gunning for the head of the party. Indeed, he is. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Hotel Llama says,

should we email YouTube list of channels doing illegal ads now so they don't get caught before it's too late? There are so many channels that are doing ads that are illegal or in violation of YouTube's rules. I'm not going to get into it, but yo, I tell you this every day. I have ad salespeople will be like, we've got the sponsor wants to buy that spot. And then I say, awesome. Let me check the policies and procedures of YouTube and our other distribution

platforms. And then I come back and say, that ad is an instant strike on YouTube. You can't sell that product on YouTube. And they go, but everyone else does. Yeah. So the funny thing is, like, even knives. We had a company, super cool. It's a kitchen knife set. Yeah, you ain't doing that.

YouTube's rules around knives are something to the effect of, like, it's fine to advocate to do ad reads for kitchen utensils so long as they're not weapons. Good luck. YouTube's going to be like, we got you. Yeah. And they'll make some argument. They'll make it up. But the crazy thing is, so what happened to me was I did some ad reads 10 years ago for what I consider to be normal and legal products. Got two videos taken down, but only one strike.

I then appealed to YouTube and they ignored me. So I went to Google directly. The Google rep said they couldn't find anything in the video that actually broke any of you. This is out. The Google rep says nothing in your video violates the YouTube guidelines. And I said, can you so can you tell me why I got a strike? And they said, we're not entirely sure. Give me a minute. Ten minutes later, they said we've removed the strike from your from your channel and restored the video with a smiley face. We're

sorry this happened to you. And I said, thank you you so much so what I did was I went to YouTube help you you find your way through to chat and you get a rep and what happened was I I learned this later from my YouTube rep I immediately deleted the videos and they told me your videos didn't those strikes were real they should have stayed on your channel or what that strike was real should have stayed on your channel the That strike was real. It should have stayed on your channel. The videos should have remained suspended. The reason why the rep didn't know what was going on is because they thought this is a YouTube strike violating YouTube's rules.

And what they didn't realize is that YouTube strikes can be applied based on AdWords rules. So Google AdWords has rules for ad reads for advertisers that apply to YouTube creators as well, but it's not listed on the YouTube rules. To which I responded, you mean to tell me that even though I looked at all the rules and double check to make sure everything I'm saying is totally fine, I can still get a strike because I didn't know there were extra rules based on ad reads. And they said, yes. So since then, I have been like, well, OK, now that I know that YouTube has advertising rules that apply to a YouTube, to a podcast, whatever you're on YouTube. YouTube ad rules are like no guns. You cannot advertise guns. You cannot advertise inhalants of any kind, those things.

So that means no shouting out these brands, no shouting them out or anything like that. Those aren't listed in YouTube's rules. YouTube does have rules like you can't have guns on camera. I'm sorry, YouTube's rules are no live streaming of guns ever. And gun content must be in approved locations like gun shops and ranges. Wait, what if you've got guns in your background? That's fine. You can't touch them. Okay. Decorative guns are fine. You cannot advertise them, but the rules on advertising are ad rules, not YouTube guideline rules. So it may have changed. They may have overlapped them, but I do know that if you go to ad rules, you will find insane. It is a, it is a encyclopedia of rules because there's so many rules and regulations on various

products that here's another thing for you. If it's illegal federally, it's a bannable offense on YouTube. Doesn't matter what your state says. Just something people should understand. So when the feds say you cannot sell pharmaceutical drugs and you got a bunch of these independent anti-establishment guys doing ads for pharmaceutical drugs. And they are. They're going to get banned. Yep. And you can just Google it.

I'm not going to. I'm not going to. Everybody go ahead. Type it in your calendar. I don't want to put it in the spot for one reason. You say the name of the individual who has done something like this. And they're going to say you targeted, you attacked. No, the left is going to immediately bombard

and go after those channels. Oh yeah, that's true. So, I'm saying this right now, more generally speaking, because the people who are out there, like, I've talked to people. I've told them. March 7th, Tim Cass called it, marking calendars, listeners. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it gets overlooked completely. But again, I'm going to say this.

When Dr. Malone was leaving, and I hope he doesn't mind he mentions, I mentioned we said you know as we were leaving but i explained him like there's a lot of channels that are doing ad reads for prescription drugs and he said i know i've i can't i can't believe the fda hasn't gone after them for this and i was like i don't think trump's fda will i think youtube will under the guise of the fda says that you're not allowed to do this yeah so and thing is they could let it accumulate so that you'll get the strike. And then a week later, they'll hit another video. And then now you've got three strikes.

Exactly. Or to elaborate on what you're saying, you'll get one strike and be suspended for a week. You'll come back for a week or two. You'll get a second strike and be gone for two weeks. Then they'll wait for one strike to go away within three months and then keep hitting you, reducing your content output by, let's just say it's 8%, but that's the math game they're playing. People who are pro-Trump and anti-establishment, we need to suppress them by 7% and boost liberals by 7% so that everybody flows in one direction. And then they avoid the ban problem.

You ban someone, you create a massive PR campaign, lawsuits, conflict, legal challenges, suppress them, and you effectively do the same thing. So instead of banning one big person like Alex Jones, they would have been better off lightly suppressing 10 channels by 10% instead of one channel by 100%. They learned that lesson. It's coming. It's coming. Yep. All right.

But who? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's ignored. I don't think I'm wrong, though. Trud Jones says PCC will hit 800 episodes soon. Everyone should tune in because Brett and Mary will be holding a telethon for the gongo people being femagenocided. Okay, now they're scheduling my shows for me? I said none of this, but we do have episode 800

coming up. We just finished 792 today. Jeez. That's crazy. It might be a marathon for the gongo people. Could be. Sterling Wilson says, YouTube can nuke conservatives, but wouldn't that force people to use Rumble?

YouTube alphabet stock crashes and Rumble skyrockets to the moon. No, that's wrong. Now, I will say if Rumble stock will go up if more people start using it for these reasons. So if there's a prominent personality and they got two and a half million subs and they get banned on YouTube, they're absolutely going to be on Rumble. And that's really, really good for Rumble. But it's still an attempt to cut off an audience. I will stress this to all of you. We are live on Rumble and on YouTube,

and I guarantee you, 80% of the people who watch the show had no idea. Even though we say every day, subscribe to Rumble Premium. So there are probably people who don't understand why the uncensored show isn't on timcast.com anymore i am not disparaging people i'm saying mo like

most people don't get the memo because they watch the show for the content not for the advertisements or the plugs so they'll skip ahead when the show starts ignore the plugs listen to us talk say i love this show and then and when we get super chats and say, you know, that's fine. They read super chats. I'm out. And then they don't realize we're on other platforms. If YouTube nukes this show, they're going to say, what happened? It's gone.

Yeah. And then they're going to be scrolling through YouTube. It won't pop up. And they'll click something else. That's the way it works. All right, everybody. If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button? And share the show with everyone you know.

Rumble has to win because for everything I've described, we need to be building these platforms now. And Rumble is a premier video podcasting platform. If you're launching a video podcast, good luck on YouTube. You're not going to get monetized. You're likely going to get banned. That's the reality. Good luck on Spotify.

Spotify is not bad, but their reach is very, very low. Start on Rumble, and you're going to start off with substantially higher viewership than anybody else. I'll put it this way. We've been on Spotify for years. We got like 30,000 views per Spotify video. On Rumble, we get 300, and we just started. Damn. we got like 30,000 views per Spotify video on, uh, uh, on rumble.

We get 300 and we just started. So it's 10 X massive. And, uh, and rumble is, is growing. So the opportunity now is to go with the platforms where the, like the train is leaving the station.

You're trying to play catch up on YouTube. Good luck. You're trying to play catch up, catch up on Spotify. Good luck. But rumble is sitting there waiting for you to board. So you can follow me on X and Instagram at TimCast. Hotep Jesus, do you want to shout anything out?
