Starting point is 00:00:00 So the latest reporting is that DOJ and FBI officials have begun lawyering up in anticipation of Matt Gaetz and Donald Trump targeting them for criminal prosecution. Of course, the left is taking this as it's Donald Trump's revenge. And the right is saying it's Donald Trump's revenge. The thing is, the right believes many of these individuals actually committed crimes. And with these investigations will likely prove it. And I think that's fair to say. So we'll talk about that.
Starting point is 00:00:34 Plus, good fun. Donald Trump shows up to UFC 309. Thunderous applause. Everybody's cheering. Mike Johnson's there. You had RFK Jr. I think RFK Jr. was there. You got Elon.
Starting point is 00:00:42 But they were on the plane. Everybody was cheering for this. And it shows you that we're back, baby. You got John Jones doing the Trump shimmy. You got football players doing the Trump shimmy. No more dropping to their knees in fear of some cult ideology. It's a good time to be alive, I must say. And then we got a bunch of other stuff. World War Three may be on the horizon, which is Ukraine is now authorized to use these long range missiles into Russian territory. And Sweden has actually started issuing pamphlets warning their citizenry of what to do in nuclear war because they issue them periodically. And they do fear there is war coming. So we'll talk about all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:01:21 Plus, we got a funny story. Joe Scarborough and Micah from Morning Joe, they met with Donald Trump. Yeah, that's right. They met with Hitler, I guess, because they want to make amends and open lines of communication. Yeah, it's because their ratings were 28,000 in the key demo over the weekend. So they know they're irrelevant. Cast Brew Coffee is where we sponsor ourselves. Buy our coffee. It's delicious coffee. I recommend Stand Your Grounds, one of the favorites, one of the favorites.

I'm a political analyst, political satirist. You probably see me on the Whatever podcast with brian atlas um and that's uh that's what i do right on well thanks frank i should be fun we got raymond hanging out hey everybody uh raymond here resident blue-collar here at tmg i look forward to talking with mr andrew wilson because i enjoy him and rachel's uh commentary mr phil hello everybody my name is phil labonte i'm the lead singer of the heavy metal and all that remains i'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:03:05 Let's roll from NBC News. You know him. You love him. DOJ and FBI officials reach out to lawyers as potential Trump revenge. Prosecutions loom. Oh, they have to put revenge. I'm totally fine with that. I'd rather say retribution and accountability. Legal experts say Trump's choice for Attorney General Matt Gaetz signals the president-elect's determination to tightly control the Justice Department and prosecute adversaries or criminals. Multiple current and former senior DOJ and FBI officials have begun reaching out to lawyers in anticipation of being criminally investigated by the Trump administration, according to three people with knowledge of their deliberations. Now, I just want to pause because, you know, I said this a couple months ago. I said when Donald Trump gets in, he should launch the investigations. And it is it feels good to see that my sentiment was not unique to me, that there are many people who agree. They say following Trump's decisive election victory, many Justice Department officials and career staffers were already nervous about the possibility they would be targeted by Trump loyalists, particularly members of Congress. But the selection of former rep Matt Gaetz,
Starting point is 00:04:08 a firebrand Trump ally who was subject of a recent FBI investigation to lead the department, has sharply increased the sense of alarm, the sources say. I'm glad to hear it. Let's let's play. Let's roll tape. A sense of alarm is building among officials at the Justice Department and the FBI who are bracing for possible revenge prosecutions from the incoming Trump administration. NBC News reports that some civil servants who work on a government salary have proactively reached out to lawyers. That's according to three people with knowledge of their deliberations. They're worried about the effect of long and costly legal battles. Joining me here in studio, NBC News Senior Executive Editor for National Security, David
Starting point is 00:04:47 Rhoad, who reported this story. Also with us, Glenn Kirshner, a former federal prosecutor and MSNBC legal analyst. It's good to have you here, David. A lot of DOJ staffers we had been hearing and you had been reporting were saying there was some nervousness about what might happen, about, frankly, what has been said about the plans for going after people who they feel unfairly went after them. But how has the choice of Matt Gaetz changed the equation or has it? It has. And that's the difference. There was worry about congressional investigations. They expected that. But the choice of Gaetz, which was, I think, a real surprise to
Starting point is 00:05:25 many people inside the DOJ. Me too. And everywhere. Everywhere, yes. That he, you know, he's a lawyer, but he's had no experience prosecuting cases. But most of all, he is a firebrand loyalist, a very vocal supporter of President Trump. And it's seen by people as a choice. It's someone who trusts, who Trump trusts, and someone who, given the ethics investigation, sort of owes Trump. Trump is sort of protecting him by giving him this new job just before the extra ethics report comes out. Yeah, well, you know what? They deserve to be investigated. And I'm looking forward to it. I think Matt Gaetz was the best choice. I didn't see it coming. And when they announced it, I was yelling and we bought champagne and celebrated. We did. Yeah, it's a very exciting time right now getting Matt Gates
Starting point is 00:06:09 in there. And if we get him in there. Well, right. If these people are they did nothing wrong. If they follow all the rules like they're supposed to, then they should have nothing to worry about when it comes to legal counsel. Well, that's exactly what the left says. Of course, we know that's not really how the law works. The procedure is the punishment but uh that's too bad they want to wage lawfare against donald trump they want to do these false criminal charges i guess now we're gonna have to just say uh each and every one of them was investigated for whatever it is they get investigated for i made the half joke on x that i was going to start hiring investigators to go after journalists for silly for wacky reasons so that i could then say this person has been investigated
Starting point is 00:06:45 for insert whatever. Yeah. That's what they're doing to Matt Gaetz. Allegedly. That's like, if you could just say they allegedly did it. No, no, I'm saying investigations are worse than allegations. Well, right. But you could do both.
Starting point is 00:06:56 No, I'm saying if you say someone was alleged to have done something, nobody cares. It's like, it's sure. If I say they were actually investigated for, you know, cheating on their wife or something like that, then it's like, whoa, investigated for. Yeah, look at that. And, you know, we can investigate anybody for any reason we want. So I can just hire a private investigator and say, I want you to investigate. I don't know. Insert liberal pundit for for wire fraud. I don't know. It's a private investigation. Like maybe maybe you'll find something. Well, I mean, it doesn't really matter what they actually find or. Well, I mean, I guess it does. But it does. The point isn't about like actually finding any kind of illegality.
Starting point is 00:07:34 The point is smear like the whole reason they're bringing this up and talking about it is they want to smear him. If this were someone on the Democrat side, they would be downplaying the allegations. They'd be like, oh, well, the DOJ looked into it. They'd be saying all truthful things like DOJ looked into it. They didn't prosecute. You know, it's not something the witness wasn't credible, et cetera, et cetera. This isn't about whether or not they care. It's about sliming matt matt gates and as for whether or not he should go after
Starting point is 00:08:07 people if you've broken the law he you should be invested if if there's evidence that you've broken that you've broken the law you should be investigated and then if you if you're found to be you know if there is enough evidence you should be prosecuted. That's not that's not some kind of ridiculous, far right wing perspective. Get revenge. I mean, honestly, get revenge. It's time. I'm actually I'm actually kind of tired of the fact that when the Democrats get in, they're like, OK, well, these guys are all lawbreakers. We're going to endlessly investigate them. We're going to throw every phony baloney you know accusation we possibly can at them and then when republicans get power like last time trump said no let's do the peaceful thing let's do the loving thing let's do that uh it didn't work out no it didn't work out they need to go after them there's a lot of the american
Starting point is 00:08:58 electorate who believe that there are traitors inside of the fbi that there are traitors and that Democrats have acted in a treasonous manner. Yeah, I mean, look, nothing that you're talking about says that you should go after people that haven't broken the law or that aren't treasonous. And I'm in full agreement. I don't think anybody's treasonous, though. I think this was the discussion we had with Laura Loomer.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Seditious? Seditious. Yeah, okay. Seeking to undermine the government or undermine it from within. Treason is providing aid to an enemy, particularly at a time of war. So fair enough. I don't think there's any kind of,
Starting point is 00:09:31 there's no, at least I personally don't have any problem with finding people that are seditious and accusing them of, you know, punishing them for seditious behavior or whatever, that's fine with me. But I don't think that, I don't think we should be trying to create conditions we shouldn't be doing what what the uh the fbi was doing trying to get you know trying
Starting point is 00:09:51 to entrap people and trying to create a situation because i agree with you there's plenty of evidence that there is seditious behavior in in multiple levels of government so yeah well the the thing is is you're right right for the purpose of the semantic distinction i think when when the average person thinks of treason right they're not i agree they're not thinking of it in terms of you know it has to be during wartime or this type of thing but i agree with you right so seditious i do think that there has been a lot of seditious activity i do think I would even consider treasonous activity towards President Trump, for sure. And I think I would love to actually see him
Starting point is 00:10:33 once Gates is in as the AG. Why not go back and revisit what happened during the former election? Oh, everything. Why not go back and take a look at why this guy you know ended up with millions and millions more votes than kamala ended up with i i would like to see an actual investigation launched on that i think you know yeah i'm of two minds i i think absolutely because the american people will want some kind of resolution but i think that uh in terms of the efforts they should just be and i don't know that republicans are going to do this but citizen proof of citizenship passed immediately for voting in federal elections just boom instantly and mass deportations i mean that solves most of the
Starting point is 00:11:16 problems and then you need uh oh man matt so that's that's trump in general republicans but what matt gates can do it's going to be tough You know, going back and relitigating the 2020 election and all that stuff is a big, it's a heavy lift that I lean towards. We want answers. I am not of the opinion that there were servers and satellites and all that other conspiracy mumbo jumbo. I think that we experienced a standalone complex. I think many different people played a different role independent of themselves. But that being said, Matt Gaetz needs to launch civil rights conspiracy against rights
Starting point is 00:11:50 investigations into Georgia, Fannie Willis, into Letitia James, into Alvin Bragg. He should be looking into what these states were doing with COVID, with the elderly patients who were put in the nursing homes and died. I want to see, first and foremost, Matt Gaetz go after New York. These fake felony charges should be investigated at the federal level, conspiracy against rights, the fake civil rights charge, the fake sexual abuse claims,
Starting point is 00:12:15 that we cannot tolerate as a country. The fact that they're dropping these things, that Mershon is likely to drop them, or at the federal level, they're dropping these charges. I mean, look at this. They're saying, oh, it's revenge. Matt Gaetz is going to go after these people.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Jack Smith is dropping the, he's dropping the investigations. They're walking away. The moment he gets elected, they're backing off. Mershon is expected to drop the charges in New York, even though he's already convicted because it was all fake.
Starting point is 00:12:38 This country cannot survive unless we have a legal system that says you can't do that and you go to prison for breaking the law but don't you also like i would like to see the pardons of everybody involved in january 6th yes i would like to see mutations and pardons i would like to see them all anybody who's still in jail released and yes i do want the people who put them there investigated i do i i want them investigated i want them tried and if it turns out that they
Starting point is 00:13:06 were throwing American citizens who went to this protest in prison and locking them away without actual due process, which is what we're now being told has happened multiple times, yeah, they need to go to prison. You know, but the game for the longest time was that the machine didn't go after itself. So Donald Trump gets in and now all of a sudden they're looking at real accountability and they're going to lie. Yeah. And so you're going to get these liberal. This is the challenge, because no matter what happens, either the Democrats will abuse power. And if the Republicans try in any way to get accountability, they will claim this is proof Trump's a fascist and is doing everything they claimed. Yeah. There's no off ramp on this because it's revenge. I mean, the thing the thing is, though, is there there really is no way for you not to make it appear that it's not.
Starting point is 00:13:53 There's no way. Right. Because in many ways, it is a reaction. You've pulled the rubber band back so far and it's snapped. And it's like, look, we really don't have a choice at this point. Yeah. Many of these things got to be investigated. And people were people have been so irate, especially the fallout. January 6th. You see these liberals, crazy, insane leftists like destiny saying, lock them away, throw away the key. You'll watch them, you know, during these multiple assassination attempts, say, hey, the guy deserved it.
Starting point is 00:14:20 This kind of thing, the rhetoric and the push by the Democrat machine to imprison anybody who dissents against them. Yeah. Yeah. Investigate the shit out of them. Yes. Yeah. I think that I think that that's necessary to restore your average American's faith in the Justice Department. If people pay attention to the news, if they watch the and I'm'm not talking about to the legacy media, I'm talking
Starting point is 00:14:46 about like if they're looking into the actual events like that happened with the Trump trial in New York, the 34 felony charges. Yeah, farce, total farce. They created. If you look at those, and the problem is that your average person is aware that the Justice Department is completely and totally corrupted. Right. Like and it's not just the federal Justice Department. It's at the state level, because obviously Letitia James in New York goes after Donald Trump. She's not you know, it's not a federal thing. It's a state level thing.
Starting point is 00:15:21 So, yeah. But they do it. They collude on purpose to do this. Yeah. So that they know that he can't have federal immunity. So we'll do it they collude on purpose to do this yeah yeah so that they know that he can't have federal immunity so we'll do it at the state level yeah that way it sticks that is by the way i think that that's a conspiracy i think that that should be investigated for conspiracy i mean to be honest with you like that that it might be a conspiracy that goes through the whole democrat party like the dnc itself, my point being, the average person's faith in the justice system has been significantly shaken. If you want people to trust that their justice system
Starting point is 00:15:54 actually does behave in an unbiased way, you have to go and root out the people that are corrupt. Getting rid of corruption is not partisan. I don't care that it'll look partisan and there'll be people crying partisanship but getting rid of corrupt people in in the in the government it's non-partisan and it shouldn't just doesn't matter anymore yeah but to tim's point tim says and he's right right he says but if you go after him no matter what it's going to appear like revenge and so it's fine it's like it doesn't matter yeah it doesn't matter so it's like well then lean into it and say yeah it is revenge fuckers i mean i don't i mean lean into it i personally i think that there are that that that's unnecessary i will go go after them as hard as you can go after
Starting point is 00:16:42 the people that have... If there's corruption, get the corruption. Root them out, 100%. Root out the corrupt. And don't say, oh, well, we want to be nice to people so that way in the future. No, no, no, no. If you want to prevent corruption,
Starting point is 00:16:55 what you do is you put the corrupt people in jail until they are too old to do anything. I'm going to read a super chat, which we normally save for them, but this is a good one. And it's Austin Pearson says, I was a bought in lefty until 2022, realizing CNN lied about Rogan looking gray with their edited video shown to me by Timcast helped me see the reality of the left's lies.
Starting point is 00:17:14 I can't thank you enough. I appreciate it. But that's why we don't say it's revenge because it's not revenge. It is accountability under the law. They're going to scream and cry revenge. And we're going to say every step of the way, these people broke the law. And they will weaponize that. But my point in when I say it doesn't matter anymore is they're going to say it no matter what you do, but we have to do it. Otherwise, this country can't survive. But we always optics were still there, though.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Like, I mean, I might have agreed with you. That was the point why he's just said, because even, you know, even this this past election, 2022 2022 was a slight move forward for the Republicans in the House. But then we got the House, the Senate and the presidency in 2024 because people are actually starting to be like, well, it's a combination. I think it's not just that they're waking up and coming over to the right side of history. It's that many of these people like Joe Scarborough and Michael Brzezinski is a good example. I'll pull this up in a second. They are fair weather political pundits. Their politics are whatever they think. Let me see if I can actually... But to the point when I'm specifically on optics, when you're talking about optics, there used to be this kind of political kabuki
Starting point is 00:18:20 where optics did matter a significant amount. With with trump it doesn't seem like the optics matter that much they paint him in the worst light possible no matter what and when this guy was calling women dogs and you know fat and everything else nobody cared right they were like good he's right um it it almost seems like perhaps perhaps on the optics front the american people don't care because no i just had good optics the democrats had good optics this election i disagree look at the trump shimmy versus the knee on the ground the reason why people are feeling comfortable and wearing mega hats walking around new york city is because of the popular vote they now feel like hey you know what i'm not alone let me pull the story up though this is from sale times kissing the ring msnbc's morning joe host meets with trump to reopen lines of communication
Starting point is 00:19:07 it gets better take a look at this anna navarro furious about joe scarborough and michael brzezinski's trip to mar-a-lago to see trump and now apparently they're getting boycotts they're they're there's calls to boycott their show by all 28 people who watch it okay it's 28 000 yeah but when i showed the the ratings which are by thousand it said joe said morning joe 28 and i was like only 28 000 viewers in the key demo and everyone responded with are you sure it's not just 28 so this is what they're being accused of they have this clip where they said obviously we disagree with donald trump but we decided we got to do something different we We're going to go talk to him. That's too late.
Starting point is 00:19:47 These people have gone so insane. MSNBC's ratings are gone. Comcast is talking about getting rid of it. CNN's laying people off. The View is trying to hire a pro-Trump personality. That's the report that's coming out. This is why I think optics really does matter. There are regular people. I think most people are divided, but I think a default liberal, the average default liberal
Starting point is 00:20:09 is only going along with the left because they think that is the mainstream. So I was saying before the election, the reason that we have to win the popular vote is so that we can tell every single leftist you're on the wrong side of history. Yeah. All of a sudden now we're seeing Bill Maher comes out and he's like, oh, the left, they make me so mad. Democrats are snooty. It's like, oh, really, Joe? Really, Bill? You were saying Trump couldn't win three weeks ago. Now he's all of a sudden like, oh, I can't believe it. Now you got Seth Moulton coming out after the election saying, look, you know, I'm concerned about a male athlete or former male athlete
Starting point is 00:20:44 running over my daughters. And I'm supposed to be afraid to say that he couldn't say it before the election. Here's my favorite is Ezra Klein. After the election comes out and says all these people are saying that, you know, when you hear crime is up or the costs are up, that's Fox News. Shut the F up. I live in New York. I talk to people. They are pissed. They are experiencing this. And I'm loving it. Ezra, where were you before the election to say these things? They didn't say it because they genuinely believed that the that the establishment was in control. And so they were going to say whatever they had a good reason. Yeah, good reason. These are these are the moral cowards who are like, I'm I'm angry, of course, but I'm just going to say whatever they want me to say so I can dodge their ire.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Then Trump wins the popular vote. Now, all of a sudden, these people are coming out being like, well, Trump was right the whole time. I mean, I was always for Trump. But isn't this but isn't this the idea of kind of the professional kabuki putting on the front of having really good optics. We say the right things. We're politically correct. We do this. The other side says, OK, screw that.
Starting point is 00:21:51 They have a complete counter set to this. They're like, nope, we're not following the program. Our memes are not politically correct. We're a lot more brutal. We're a lot meaner. We're not very nice. This kind of thing. That seems like it's not optically friendly. Yet people move towards that. They move towards that in this election. All of the things that you're kind of you're kind of framing here with the view and they're they're clucking and this and that. But that was all positive optics. Right. you're right on, you know, the right is more shocking, offensive and edgy.
Starting point is 00:22:29 But that is the positive optics. People joking like Dave Chappelle doing that. He did the Chinese Asian joke stereotype. Everybody laughed. That is fun and funny. And that's what we want to do. The left was playing this moral grandstanding of we will beat you and punish you. And that was scary. People fell in line because they controlled the institution. Right, but that's mainstream optics, right? Like, that's the idea of mainstream optics. The idea of mainstream optics is don't be offensive, right? Pander correctly.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Look like you have the moral high ground at all times. Be completely affronted by everything everybody says. That seems to have been kind of the mainstream optical game, even my entire lifetime. And Trump, I think I feel like he capitulated too much to that. Well, I think that's why it broke, because when once people realized I don't want to live this way and other people like I read that super chat where the guy says, you know, when he saw the Rogan skin turned gray. Yeah. So to realize this is all fake. Yeah. They started to realize this is all fake. Yeah. So my point is, when we come for retribution and accountability, retribution, divine justice, whatever you want to call it, not revenge, not an emotional thing. It's a pragmatic thing. People need to know we maintain
Starting point is 00:23:37 that we are morally correct in what we are doing, and it is dispassionate and logical. Yeah. So the left threatens you. We'll throw you in the gulag, do it is dispassionate and logical. So the left threatens you. We'll throw you in the gulag, do it or else, and people fall in line. We, on the other side, say, make your jokes, dude, be edgy, I don't care. In fact, the right is a mix between people who are more conservative saying, I don't think anybody should be getting transgender surgeries, and the moderate, disaffected liberals saying, well, if you're over 18, do what you want. And this is a coalition, a unity party.
Starting point is 00:24:06 And the left is fall in line with us. Abortion still birth or else. People were scared and believe that the popular vote was a massive flare in the air saying not anymore. The silent it is no longer a silent majority. The majority doesn't believe these things. What happens is those moral grandstanders like Micah and Joe, who are calling Trump Hitler, are now all of a sudden turn in tail because they're scared of being on the wrong side of history. Yeah, they're still moral cowards.
Starting point is 00:24:33 They're still bad people. But at least now they're bending their knee to where to to our position. Yeah, but I mean, if the wind blows the other direction, they'll be right back there. Right. Everybody knows it. 100 percent. You know, the other thing. Let's not give them any slack. Yeah. Well, no, i understand um and it's tongue in cheek saying lean into the revenge the point
Starting point is 00:24:49 the point is yeah it is funny but the point is is to say yes they do they do need to actually push these investigations forward and they need to do the same thing they need to tie these democrats up in the same amount of red tape that they tied Trump up in his first administration. And they prevented him from doing almost anything. He was always under some investigation for some nonsense. There was always some new investigation coming around. Now he has the Department of Justice at his disposal. He perhaps could put the right people in.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Tie him up the same way. Tie him up with so much red tape they look like a Christmas tree. You know what I mean? Do the same tactics back that they did to you. Now, is that revenge or retribution? Sure, we'll call it retribution. Accountability. Yeah, accountability. But the thing is, it's like you have to, unfortunately, you have to play by these tactics because otherwise you will die by them. I agree. I think, you know, the thing I'm concerned about is the left scared everybody away by being brutal and authoritarian. Yeah. And so we have to make sure everybody knows freedom's on the other side of the fire.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Right. Stop pandering to these people. Stop pretending. And you can do your thing. And no one over here. Wasn't that the opposite of the messaging? Like their messaging was all these authoritarian right wing fascists are going to come in and this and that. And they're going to take away your right to have an abortion. The ultimate freedom, you know, the super liminal. Yeah. And you had the liminal and the subliminal. And the subliminal was speak out of line and we will destroy your life. Yeah, I agree that that was the undercurrent.
Starting point is 00:26:17 I do agree with that, that that was the undercurrent. But, you know, abortion was the left's big push on freedom. Right. That was their big push on freedom. Yeah. Didn't work. And it well, it went more to freedom. Yeah, it didn't work. And it, well, it turned- Women went more to Trump. Yeah, it turned out, this actually did surprise me. I'm sure it surprised you to an extent as well.
Starting point is 00:26:31 It turns out that there's far less women interested in murdering their children as previously advertised. Well, the joke that I love was women buy milk and eggs more than they get abortions. Yeah. So they're kind of like, well, you know, if I'm weighing my-
Starting point is 00:26:44 A lot of truth in that. But regardless of what any of us dudes here think young women under 30 skewed towards trump by 11 points there was a shift towards trump and then one of my favorite metrics was you think it's because kawala was a woman oh i don't know one of my favorite metrics nobody hates women more than women the exact same thing nobody hates women more than women one of my favorite metrics was uh no i forgot where i was going with it now oh sorry i'm just i was gonna say i agree with these leftist loony liberals oh i'm sorry i remember now sorry go for it that uh when the exit polling was asked do you think uh democracy is under threat in the united states the uh the the the plus seven so the the largest block was yes we do think there was a a seven percent edge among people who said yes there's a threat to democracy in support for trump
Starting point is 00:27:33 so basically when they kept screaming democracy is under threat most people said that's right and it's the law lawfare you are engaged in against Trump and his lawyers. I mean, I, is there, is there data to show that that's the truth or is that just, just inference? No, no, that was, there was a poll that was released after the, during the election where they asked. Democracy was number one on the exit polls. And then I think number two was what, the economy? What I'm, what I'm saying is there, is there any, is there a poll that delves further into
Starting point is 00:28:02 the democracy thing where they're saying, no, it is actually the lawfare against Trump, not people saying the odds. That's the inference. Because otherwise, how do you get people thinking democracy is under threat? I better vote for the guy who's threatening it. Yeah. No, it was because they were going after Jay Sixers. It's because they were going to Trump's lawyers. That was crazy.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Yeah, which they asked me on YouGov a lot. That was one of the questions because I love my YouGov polls to participate. And I did say, yes, democracy is under threat because they didn't ask me why, Phil, but do you think it is? Yeah, it does seem most likely. And it's pretty clear that the narrative spun by the left just wasn't hitting home with people. It wasn't having the effect that they wanted it to. Well, if if they had had Biden, I think they would have done better. I think you're right.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Yeah, I think they would have done better. Kamala, the big thing with Kamala, when you say this guy's a threat to democracy. And by the way, here's this candidate that was never democratically put in, right? Never democratically put in, just happened to be a part of the ticket and so we're going to run her anyway that was an that that was not a good uh look for them that's one and then two and yeah and then two uh kamala harris and i'll say this right you can disagree with me if you want nobody wanted to listen to that chick's laugh for four years nobody wanted i do think that i don't want to listen to up listen to it for 107
Starting point is 00:29:25 days no the the democrats i don't i mean i she he may have done better but i still don't think that he would have beat trump because everyone saw the the debate and it was clear yeah that joe biden was not capable he was not going to be able to do the job and i don't you know especially considering it's another four years you know it wasn't just like hey who do you like better for the next you know couple weeks or whatever it's literally oh who do you think can run the country there was also a really weird thing that happened after that debate that was bizarre where we we went okay clearly this guy's out to lunch right and they would go well trump looks like he has cognitive decline too that was the next that was the strangest counter narrative that i'd ever seen i was like what are
Starting point is 00:30:10 you talking about they really leaned into the i know you are but what am i yeah or you know like the they were just like it was it was well trump looks like he's got cognitive line and then and then kamala harris was like build that wall build that wall and like she threw on the mat you know put on a maga hat like they literally leaning, like they just started stealing his policy ideas with the no tax on tips and all that stuff. So I do think that that hurt the Democrats as well. Let's jump to this. We got some of the Daily Mail. Inside tents, CNN all hands call where CEO warns staff not to obsess over Trump as they face layoffs.
Starting point is 00:30:45 They have no choice but to obsess over him. They got nothing left. And then AP is going to be slashing 8% of their staff as major news outlets stop buying its content. So over at CNN. You'd think the media would be super happy, right? Like the media used when they were covering Trump and all the Trump outrage and this and that, like they were doing better than ever. Yes, not anymore, right?
Starting point is 00:31:05 That's when they had the popular vote. So Hillary Clinton wins the popular vote and they're like, let's lean into this. More people hate Trump than like him. Yeah. That's the major majority market share. CNN is in a bind now. After 2020, they could lean into it as well.
Starting point is 00:31:20 But Trump kind of dipped out for a couple of years after 2021. He was not, you know, Rhonda Sanders was actually the favorite to win for a period and predict it. Once Trump comes back, they start gleefully, you know, twirling their mustaches. Then Trump wins the popular vote. Now they're like, OK, we don't want to be the minority market share on this one. If they double down and go anti-Trump for the next four years, they are they are intentionally burning down what little they have left.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Well, what do you think the strategy is? And they're not just going to let the guy govern. Micah Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough were like, we met with Donald Trump and we're going to open those communications again because they're like, that's it. Yeah, we're done. MSNBC is is dude on YouTube. They get like 5000 views. Their their key demo ratings are between like 20. It was 22 was their lowest.
Starting point is 00:32:04 It was Jen Psaki. She got 22,000. You know what the worst thing in the world is for these people? I mean, could you imagine being Jen Psaki looking into a camera and knowing that no one is listening? That's MSNBC right now. I mean, it's all of them. It's all. But what about this?
Starting point is 00:32:20 Why did it take the Associated Press so long to call that election? Why? Which one? This one. Oh, right. Decision. It took forever. Like, I mean, we knew everyone knew.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Why won't the AP call it? Why won't the AP call it? Their credibility of all of the major news networks is basically dashed. Even the left doesn't seem to like them anymore. Nope. And so I'm not sure exactly how they make a recovery from this. I think maybe they just don't. Maybe they just don't make a recovery.
Starting point is 00:32:50 I think CNN, with the views they're getting on YouTube, will not be able to afford any of their staff. Are they getting more than MSNBC? They are. CNN gets between like 50 and 150. It's not bad. It's like mid to large size podcasts.
Starting point is 00:33:07 So the bigger podcasts may get a lot more than that. I think, you know, for Timcast IRL, our segments can vary dramatically like most podcasts. So I don't know. We average on IRL like 80, but some of the clips are like 500. The episodes are usually around 500 plus. We have other platforms. So all in all, we get three and a half million on average because we do the average for the ad sales, which is happening now. And then the morning show, I average 225K per video. So sometimes
Starting point is 00:33:35 they're smaller depending on the news day. Sometimes they're bigger. You scroll through CNNs. It's not bad. Mid to large size podcast. Hey, how much can that really support? You can't hire Anderson Cooper off those numbers. He gets $20 million a year. Doesn't that lady, what does she work for, Kate McCollum? Is she MSNBC?
Starting point is 00:33:50 No, she's CNN. She's CNN? $20 million. Can you believe that? Yes. Wow, she's got a good agent. Yeah. I mean, you know.
Starting point is 00:33:57 What does Scarborough pull down? What's the pretty face? Scarborough, I think, is like $5 to $8 million. Maybe $8 million. Check it out. For $20,000? It wasn't always that bad.
Starting point is 00:34:05 I know it wasn't. It's been getting bad, though. They get a million among people older than 72. Yeah. And so five more years, which it's not even about that. There's no way. Look, they get the 72 and up crowd. I think MSNBC is 72.
Starting point is 00:34:20 I think Fox is 67 and CNN is 70. Yeah, it's bad. He's 8 to 11 per year. 8 to 11. The thing about MSNBC is people stop advertising even to those who are alive at a certain age. There's very little to advertise because if you're in a nursing home where you're being taken care of by your family, you're not making these financial decisions anymore. So Fox is big on reverse mortgages. And it's like an old woman sitting in her house and the guy is yelling at her and he's like,
Starting point is 00:34:45 you can get a term loan or whatever it is. Life alert. A little life alert. Reverse mortgage. Reverse mortgage. Tom Selleck. Gold. Gold's a big one too. Gold is real big. For old folks or just for old folks? Gold is actually legit though. Like Costco did that gold sale and they
Starting point is 00:35:01 sold out right away because nobody trusts the state of the economy. But, you know, if that's all they got left is you're 80. Buy gold, I guess. You got two years to live. But here's the thing. The reverse mortgage ads you see on these channels are basically like, you're going to die anyway. Take the money now.
Starting point is 00:35:17 That's brutal. Don't got kids? So what? They're yours. Can you blame them? Like, it's true. It is true, right? It's like, you're going to die soon.
Starting point is 00:35:27 You might as well get the reverse mortgage. But yeah, but back to this. Yeah, I mean, we've known that the mainstream media was dying off for a long time. I remember listening back years ago to Mark Dice. And remember, he used to talk about this all the time. He'd be like, look, I'm a guy in a kitchen who does better than most of these mainstream media networks. And he was right. He was doing better. 2013, I went to the heads of Vice and I said, we should make a YouTube channel for each personality that you guys have signed as talent.
Starting point is 00:35:58 And you should have a producer come in and ask them to shoot a video where they explain the stories they're working on, what the stories are. And you can do those once per day. Hey, what's the latest? And you are going to make bank. And they're like, that's a really good idea. And they never did it. And the reason why, largely because Vice was run by older Gen Xers, and I think mostly older Gen Xers,
Starting point is 00:36:19 and the only thing they cared about was getting a cable contract. Oh. I mean, this is a company that was born from a physical magazine, and to them, it was a cable contract, a guaranteed... You're talking about Gavin's Vice? Yes. Oh, okay. So he was long gone. Yeah. But they were basically like, once we get that cable channel, we got guaranteed revenue, and
Starting point is 00:36:36 I was like, in 2013, you should be on YouTube. For them, they were kind of like, yeah, we do YouTube, I don't know, whatever. We want cable TV because YouTube was small. Now YouTube's everything. And Vice is bankrupt and wiped out. They could have done it. They could have had it.
Starting point is 00:36:49 They could have had exactly what we're doing right here. And so could ABC News. They don't listen because they're big machines that don't know how to adapt. So now what did they do? You know what? They chased after the short-term high. They said, Orange Man is bad. Run with it.
Starting point is 00:37:04 And now Orange Man is not bad. He's actually quite popular. Everyone's doing the Trump shimmy. Even the NFL. Oh yeah. John Jones. Oh yeah. And now Micah and Joe have no choice.
Starting point is 00:37:14 I bet Joe and Micah sat down and Joe looked at Micah and was like, Donald Trump's popular. Who are we talking to? And the producer came in and said, you had 28,000 key demo viewers. You're talking to nobody. And I got to be honest, Joe, those viewers, hotel lobbies. That's it.
Starting point is 00:37:33 So no one listens anymore. He's going to have to go pro-Trump. And they dropped so many right after the election. He's trying to. Because, shoot, because Monday they called him, was it right next he's uh adjacent to hitler and then by friday they're having lunch with the guy look when you launch with hitler yeah right when you spend as much time doing exactly what we're talking about calling him
Starting point is 00:37:57 hitler calling all the the most terrible names that you can come up with and say that he's literally the reincarnation of the worst dictator in the 20th century, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then he wins not just the electoral college, but wins the popular vote. Smart people are going to recalibrate. And you have to say, OK, look, this didn't work. What am I missing right now? I do think that they deserve to be scrutinized. I'm not saying that you should respect them.
Starting point is 00:38:28 I only see them doubling down, though. I mean, would Joe and Mika? Well, these dinosaurs may not. But if you look at these general YouTubers or people like this who are now dispensing the news, right? These are the guys who are now dispensing it. They may use these as sources. They're morons. These are the guys who are now dispensing it. They may use these as sources, but people are getting their news from all these little tiny little channels everywhere. They might use these as sources, but that's where people are getting it.
Starting point is 00:38:53 They're doubling down. They're like, look, absolutely, Democrats don't need to change anything. This was a fluke. This was a one-off. Hassan, all those terrible people. Yeah, your destinies. They are, but they're all idiots. Like they're feeding, they're feeding, they're feeding.
Starting point is 00:39:09 But why should we expect change from them then if that's what they're saying? That's not, was it you debating destiny? I was making. I don't know if it was you debating destiny, but someone brought up democracy. He was saying that Trump was a threat to democracy or something like this. And then someone mentioned if Trump, you know, if Trump wins the popular vote, isn't that democracy? Yeah. And he was just like, oh, well, well, now is it really about democracy? No, I wonder. Well, of course, I know that the answer is no. I'm saying he wants to make the argument that it's about democracy only because they won the popular vote and assumed
Starting point is 00:39:38 Kamala was going to win the popular vote. Bill Maher said Trump can't win. He's not going to win. Kamala is going to get the popular vote at least. Once they realized that was not true and Trump is the more popular side of history, now so many of these people are changing their tunes. I doubt Kyle or Pac-Man or Sam Seed or any of these people. No. Destiny. They're not going to change their tunes because they've embedded themselves in this fringe ideology and hateful rhetoric. They're in trouble. Big trouble. Because what happened with the adpocalypse and cancellation is rhetoric, they're in trouble. Big trouble.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Because what happened with the adpocalypse and cancellation is going to start happening to them. It's quite simple. It's already happening on Twitch. Oh, right, they're getting banned. Yeah, banned, done. Lefties are? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:16 There was a big story recently. Who was the big ban? They're fighting right now with Hassan, right? The Twitter adpocalypse. Yeah, the Twitter adpocalypse. Sorry, the Twitch adpocalypse. Yeah, Twitch, Twitch adpocalypse. I mean, the thing is, you see this across the board. The left is getting absolutely demolished on rhetoric.
Starting point is 00:40:33 They overplayed their hands. But these create, I'm telling you, none of these newscasters, leftist newscasters, leftist creators are saying anything other than double down, double down, double down. The TikTok trends that I see when I engage with these TikTok lunatics all over the internet, and I do it all the time, is the same exact thing. Double down, double down, double down, double down. They say Orange Man bad. Trump is bad. We're not changing anything.
Starting point is 00:40:57 They don't seem like they want to change anything. Let's jump to this from Tribune.com.pk. I have no idea what this is. What is this? The Express Tribune. They say, Asmongold blames Hasan Abiy for Twitch's adpocalypse affecting streamers' ad revenue. It's actually Destiny's. Destiny is?
Starting point is 00:41:12 It's not Destiny himself. It's Destiny's followers because they're going after him. Let's get this story first. They say, Asmongold explained his position during his broadcast saying, Hasan clearly is one of the biggest proponents of this. I would say he is the main reason. He added that a majority of the examples used in discussions about demonetization on Twitch pertain
Starting point is 00:41:30 to Hasanabi. That's Hasan Piker. Maybe not 90, maybe 80, 70, but it is the majority of all examples in the entire platform. The adpocalypse refers to a reduction in ad revenue across Twitch, reportedly affecting some creators by as much as 90%. Industry experts,
Starting point is 00:41:45 including Devin Nash, have previously linked the issue to polarizing political content on the platform. Hasan Abiy has faced criticism for his coverage of Middle Eastern conflicts with allegations of promoting anti-Semitic rhetoric. U.S. Congressman Richie Torres even cited Hasan Piker in a congressional letter accusing Twitch of amplifying extremist voices. Asmongold defended his stance, stating, you can say it's unfair, unfair that's fine but you can't say that it's not happening or that it's not the reason he also criticized twitch for its inconsistent moderation policies yeah they're going to mention that twitch has not officially commented on the controversy on the controversy but recently updated its hateful conduct policy regarding the term zionist because the adl told him to is that well look hey man yeah
Starting point is 00:42:23 not kidding the adlL put in a policy. They said, nope, you got to do this. They capitulated to the ADL immediately. This is liberals and leftists. Welcome to Leopard Ate My Face. Yeah. Leopards Ate My Face. This is they advocated and begged.
Starting point is 00:42:37 And to this day, they still beg for it. And I am happy to watch them crumble and wither into a dried husk of their former selves. The gamers all over Twitch are like, no, get all. They want all political content off of Twitch. Gamers are begging Twitch, get rid of political content. We don't want it. We want ad friendly content. That's us gaming, right?
Starting point is 00:43:01 That's ad friendly content. We don't want this. But Twitch, for Twitch, these guys are cash cows, right? Hassan, Asmik, they're cash cows. Destiny has a viral video right now where he says that all of the people on the right should be banned. Including you. Including me.
Starting point is 00:43:18 He says people like, you know. By name? By name. Yeah, by name. I don't know who else he mentions. I don't remember. But he says, Tim Pool, these people, they're only awful and their platform should be totally banned and I'm like oh he said Tucker Carlson right he said Tim Poole he said there was multiple personalities I'm in complete agreement
Starting point is 00:43:33 right now with him and I'm glad he brought it up because we hold the power of the institutions we won the popular vote the advertisers are siding with X and he's going to get himself banned for screaming this and bye-bye destiny you know Disney came, Disney came back to X, too, even. That's what I'm talking about. All the major corporations are coming back to X because Destiny and his ilk are on the wrong side of history. Yeah. Destiny wanted to make the argument about democracy and all that.
Starting point is 00:43:54 Well, he's anti-democracy. The more he complains, he is opposed to the will of the people. So if he wants to advocate for bannings, I say, well, don't look at me. But my stance on this has changed. And by the way, this guy's always been a d platformer i mean it's going way back he's always been the advocate for d platforming unless it's him unless it's 10 years ago i was in the we shouldn't ban people we protect free speech even for those who disagree with camp now i'm in the i do not defend my enemies destiny wants to burn down free speech i say hey
Starting point is 00:44:28 man you're on your own so when they start ripping their revenue away and banning them out and hasan as well i just say sucks for you guys i guess i ain't gonna speak up for you no yeah like i mean i'm not suffer suffer yeah i'm not i'm like i'm not gonna sit there i would never go and go out of my way to try and like get someone banned but i I'm not going to do one. I'm not going to lift one finger. I'm not going to waste one bit of breath trying to defend him or any, I mean, anyone that says, Oh,
Starting point is 00:44:52 you know, these people should be, should be banned. If you're, if you're advocating for banning people like beat it, I'm not going to defend you. People are saying is even so much worse than that. It's not even just the idea of democracy.
Starting point is 00:45:01 What, what destiny was saying in that video clip, and I've heard this echoed from guys like Pac-Man and many others, is that all of humanity is benefited by you being gone. You even having a place to say anything
Starting point is 00:45:14 is an existential threat to humankind itself. That's what he was saying. And all that happens is that the world's going to improve by getting rid of you. That's a call to action. That's an actual call to action.
Starting point is 00:45:26 That's, we must do this. We need to get rid of these people. How is it not, if you say, these people are an existential threat to everybody, right? How's that not really a call to action? Because that's what it sounds like to me. There's a reason why, and this is actually a fascinating metric I'd love to study.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Maybe we could hire like a, maybe people's pundit. Rich Bar bears could help us out with this after the election that was a major inflection point cnn msnbc's ratings collapsed yep david packman brian tyler cohen they started bleeding subscribers yeah and he made a big deal out of it yeah he did and then when we responded he made another big deal out of it if you look at their accounts on x aoc lost like 150K this month, more now. They're fleeing to Blue Sky or other apps. And so we saw in the inverse, Fox News' ratings go up.
Starting point is 00:46:14 Our viewership skyrocketed. We jumped a substantial amount. We are still seeing increased ratings. Right now we're at 60,625 concurrent views, where we were averaging before like 45K. So we've seen a boost. I'm wondering if this is regular people were watching these leftists, these liberals, believed them, saw that the majority of the country did not agree. Some of them either asked themselves, am I wrong? Some of them said, oh, crap, I'm on the wrong side of history. But I'm wondering if we can actually track that sentiment among people who ditched the liberal shows and are rushing over here. And I think then the reason why people like Destiny are saying we'd be better off without them is because then the viewers would have
Starting point is 00:46:54 nowhere else to go and they'd be trapped in his sycophantic lie machine. Well, it's always been the case that the leftists on Twitch and on YouTube have always pulled their resources, especially on Twitch, to remove any right-wing personality who existed there. A good example of this, Fuentes was on Twitch. He was vastly popular. I think, to my understanding, he did follow the terms of service that they had set down at the time. They got rid of him because leftists collectively demanded that they get rid of him that was it and it's because why well he siphoned a ton of viewers tight and because of that he siphons their money and that's what it comes down to right you're exactly right they want to have
Starting point is 00:47:35 the pool of viewership and the pool of cash so yeah they they do collectively demand often that right-wingers be removed from these platforms whether they're breaking the tos or not they don't care. And they'll make shit up. I've seen them make up various things. I've seen them say, this guy's advocating for transgender genocide and all sorts of crazy things that nobody ever said anything about in order to push reports to various platforms to get you deplatformed. The craziest thing I've been talking about for the past month,
Starting point is 00:48:02 I went onto the front page of YouTube. I normally don't look, I don't go onto YouTube and look at default not signed in account, like a fresh browser login. And I started to because we saw our viewership spike randomly. And I was like, okay, we got to be featured. Like they put you on the front page, your viewership is going to jump. So I go to the front page and sure enough, I see Timcast IRL. And I was like, wow, something changed in the algorithm. I don't know if it's after the CEO passed on, you know, rest in peace,
Starting point is 00:48:30 no disrespect. The new CEO had a change of heart and said, let's if the show's good, it's good. Put it on the front page. What I noticed, though, when I started looking, there are channels that will take a clip of me from this show talking about, I don't know, roosters and then put that in a screen with Cenk Uygur, who is talking about tax rates don't know, roosters, and then put that in a screen with Cenk Uygur, who is talking about tax rates from five years ago and make it seem like we're debating and they'll get 30,000 views on it and make money. That's insane and freaky stuff. So you'll, you'll get a video where I can't remember one of them. I saw made the claim that me and Cenk Uygur were fighting with each other and we were enemies.
Starting point is 00:49:05 And I was like, that's really weird. Like he was actually, we were talking to him about coming on the show and everything was cordial. We disagree, but he's been cordial. So I clicked the video and it was a total fabrication and it had like 38,000 views or something. And I was like, holy crap. I went back and I saw a bunch of these Ben Shapiro debating a guy and different channels doing it. They realized that this space and these debates get traffic and people want to see it. They realize that big names attract the viewers and so they can make a fake video. They don't call it parody or anything like that. They just say, wow, look at this.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Whoa. And they play it. It's been I mean, that's been going on for years. People tapping into the large content creators have conflict. Making these fake videos I've never seen before. Making. Yeah, they do it all. Yeah, they've been going on for years. People tapping into the large content creators have conflict. Making these fake videos I've never seen before. Yeah, they've been doing it for a while. Making videos from two different channels totally unrelated to each other and combining them to make a fake debate. Well, maybe not specifically that.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Was it an actual fake debate that they hosted? Oh, really? It was like a short video with a couple clips. One of them was me. And I can't remember exactly what it was. But let's say I'm talking about, you know, Joe Biden comes out and says, Trina, a shot of pressure. And then I go, what was that? That was gibberish nonsense. The man's not even speaking English now. How could you sit there and tell me this guy is giving me an honest argument? And then it would be a clip.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Cenk Uygur going, don't, no, don't say that. That's ridiculous. Yeah, but I mean, that's an old way to do satire too. Yeah, but this was not satire. It was a guy hosting it going, hey guys, so I was watching the debate with Tim and Cenk and it was really crazy because Tim was saying this and I was like, what?
Starting point is 00:50:39 Just totally fabricated? Yes, 100%. And there were a bunch of them from different people. And I was like, yo, what is this? That's freaky. So they just look at what's trending in the algo, maybe, and then try to push that content out. Certain names make good
Starting point is 00:50:53 clicks. Yeah, of course. It's like when people make the clips from this show where they edit it in funny ways, where it's like me and Ian staring into each other's eyes, and then the next clip is like, we're not there anymore, and then, you know, those are funny. But these videos are weird. Anyway weird anyway to your point the reason i bring it up it is like sam cedar is the king of this he just makes things up every day it's like his whole show is just fabricated the dude literally came on the culture podcast i know i watched it did you see
Starting point is 00:51:21 when he said that's the clip i was trying to get he admitted to doing it so this guy sam cedar comes that was a really he was very so i was expecting when he came on that this was going to be a really kind of a good exchange because cedar is known as being a fairly decent debater inside of these spheres i never thought so but he's known for being one and he was just kind of doddering. He was like, I want to make an allegation, but I can't make an allegation, but I want to make an allegation. The best example is I outright said I'm pro-choice. I think it due to the impossibility of regulating certain issues pertaining to health. And so I said the Supreme, so I don't want to relate the whole argument. The point was Supreme Court has to give us an answer on personhood as to whether the
Starting point is 00:52:05 14th Amendment applies to the unborn as persons, not citizens. We don't have that. I believe a conservative court will, and that will ban abortion overnight. It would require adjudication for it. Personally, I said, as of right now, I'm more pro-choice. I think abortion is wrong, but I see an impossibility in properly regulating it right now because of various issues. Cringe, Tim.
Starting point is 00:52:24 Sure, that's fine. And that's fine. And I said, so I think, I don't know if it's 15, 18, 22 weeks, whatever that number is, we'll find where a woman can just go in. And I said, there are questions of consent. He then asks me a hypothetical. How would you deal with consent? I'm like, we should get a rape kit, I guess.
Starting point is 00:52:41 And he was like, so a woman would have to get a rape kit to prove that she didn't consent. And I was like, so a woman would have to get a rape kit to prove that she didn't consent. And I was like, yes. My argument was never that I thought women should be forced to do these things. Mine was I'm pro-choice up to a certain amount, pre-viability. A woman doesn't need a reason at all. I think it's wrong. And we want to go the Ron Paul route. It should be unthinkable, not illegal.
Starting point is 00:53:01 In the event of consent, he asks me. He then goes off and starts saying things like, you're disgusting. You son of a, you're so gross. And I'm sitting here being like, oh, here he goes. You're trying to get a clip. After he was finished with his overly emotional rant, he just calms down and goes, that was the clip I was trying to get. Outright admitting on the show, he just wanted to cause a scene. It's remarkable. This is what the left does, and this is why they lose. If I said something to you like, if you were a leftist, Andrew, if you were like a hardcore leftist, what do you think tax-wise, what tax rate would you advocate for? 90% of the rich. You insane.
Starting point is 00:53:40 You really? You're disgusting. And then what we do is we clip the part where I say, what tax rate would you advocate for? You say 90%. Yeah. And I claim. And that's what he does. And it's fake.
Starting point is 00:53:50 His whole show is fake. And this is what they do. And so the reason why they don't like the competition is because they want to be able to lie, manipulate the algorithm, make money. They are what they project onto others. They say everyone else is grifting. And it's one big scam. But you know what? project onto others. They say everyone else is grifting. And it's one big scam. But you know what? Greg Gutfeld, I got to give him credit for it every time I say this because it was masterfully said.
Starting point is 00:54:11 The left, their whole worldview is downstream from hoaxes. Everything they talk about is derivative of a hoax. But once you see through one of them, there's no going back. My response to that is that explains SNL, for instance. The jokes on SNL that don't make sense where they have RFK Jr. out and come out and be like, got to get rid of all the vaccines. And I was like, what's the joke? I mean, RFK Jr. is not anti-vax. It's because in their hoax world, they think he hates vaccines.
Starting point is 00:54:40 And then you actually listen to the guy like any sane person. And he's like, I think vaccines should undergo rigorous testing like every other medication. And I recommend them. And you're like, oh, so it's a moderate position. It's totally normal. Yeah. Well, in satire, if it doesn't point at the truth, isn't funny. That's the point.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Right. And so when people say Saturday Night Live, for instance, isn't funny because because you're not pointing at the truth. If you're not pointing at the truth, if you're not yeah if you're not pointing at the truth you can't have any humor otherwise what are we even talking about right so anyway i digress i'm done ranting about those people but so what twitch revenue is just flat everybody's the stock guys says his ad revenue is down 95 percent yeah well i mean twitch twitch had a great opportunity uh with their with their platform before they they sold out they had a great opportunity with their platform before they sold out. They had some great shows on there with some great talent,
Starting point is 00:55:28 and they literally buckled under to Hasan Piker. I mean, basically, whatever Hasan wants on that platform, Hasan gets, and that's that. So if you're a popular right-wing entertainer or commentator, you go on there and you make fun of the golden boy, you're gone. I mean, that's it. So Twitch has always been unfriendly to the right. Everybody knows that.
Starting point is 00:55:51 But now it's just so beyond obvious, and that's why the gamers there are like, look. Isn't Twitch Amazon? Yes. Yeah. Well, I think Bezos must have had a conversation with somebody. You know, he comes out and says, Washington Post, we're not going to endorse.
Starting point is 00:56:07 He's like, oh, we have to be impartial. I think when the left started saying that they were going to pass these these taxes on unrealized gains and he actually got us to defend Jeff Bezos. I should say that the left got us to defend Jeff Bezos. I'm like, Bezos doesn't make a billion dollars a year. His salary, I think, is one million plus I think, is $80,000 plus bonus. So he makes a couple million dollars per year. He takes out loans against his stock. He cannot sell the stock because of contractual obligations
Starting point is 00:56:35 with the structure of the company. Yeah, but he takes out the loans so he doesn't have to pay taxes on the money. Well, he can't take out the money. So this is the issue. He owns Amazon. When he wants to sell stock, the stock has to reach a threshold before he can liquidate it. So if we were to tax him on unrealized gains, he'd be like, I don't have any of that money. And they'd be like, sell your stock. I'm not legally allowed to sell the stock. If the government then intervened in the Amazon contract to force him to sell the stock, it would gut the value of Amazon. But what is the idea here though, that you set the company up so that it operates that way.
Starting point is 00:57:10 So you can take out loans. You're taking out loans against what your potential net worth is because on a loan, when you're paying the loan back, you don't have to pay any taxes on that. You don't have to set up the company that way to do that. So if you are the owner of a company and you have liquid stock and you unrealize a million dollars in gains, you have unrealized gains of a million bucks, you could liquidate the stock or you can get a loan against it. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:57:31 Bezos' structure, for whatever reason, by all means accuse him of that structure or otherwise, he can't just sell. But there is no unrealized gains tax, so there's no reason to do that. The structure, I think, has to do with the investors who came in, and if he were to sell too much stock at once, it would tank the value of the company. If they pass unrealized taxes like Kamala wanted to do, he's screwed. Yeah, they just ripped. He loses the company. So he must have been like, turn it around. Twitch, Washington Post, everything. We're pro Trump now or at the very least neutral. But to be honest, the advertisers leaving Twitch likely has more to do with the
Starting point is 00:58:10 Zionism stuff. Hasan Piker has had some real messed up stuff. I mean, it's part of it, but it's been happening for a while. The decline of Twitch has been going on for a while, especially with Twitch politics. Twitch politics used to be a pretty brutal place that was kind of fun to go to,
Starting point is 00:58:25 had a lot of good political commentators there. That's all done. It just doesn't even exist there anymore. Now all that exists is a couple of these big personalities, and if they want you off, you're off. The gamers absolutely hate all the political, any political talk whatsoever, because it's supposed to be a gaming platform right so you know it doesn't make any sense their moderation policy makes no sense and people just stop watching it they just don't want to support it let's let's shift back to politics we got the story from the post millennial this is big news pa supreme court demands bucks county follow ruling to not count ineligible ballots during senate race recount. Well, we've got a couple candidates
Starting point is 00:59:05 for the investigation Matt Gaetz could launch. This is, Chuck Ross says, Diane Alice Marseglia, the Bucks County Commissioner who was openly breaking the law to count invalid ballots, contributed to Bob Casey's campaign in September. For those who don't know,
Starting point is 00:59:19 this is the third time the PA Supreme Court has told Democrats to stop counting illegal ballots. I don't think they're going to stop. The funny thing is, everyone in the country is watching this happen. The New York Times and NBC have even been critical, or at the very least pointed out, that Democrats are openly breaking the law and stating they're doing it. So, arrest them? Yes. Once you get, once you get. Why is that such a foreign concept? It's like, yeah, arrest them? Yes. Yes. Once you get once you like, why is that such a foreign concept?
Starting point is 00:59:47 It's like, yeah, arrest them. Once Trump gets into office, whoever ends up being the AG needs to go and send the FBI and arrest them because they're trying to tamper with elections. Clearly, they know they're knowingly tampering with elections. So go wrap them up. Go ahead and send if you want to send an entry team to their door at six in the morning four you know five in the morning i'm all for that i think you have the opposite result too that people think like people think oh everyone's gonna think you're an authoritarian this i think most people would be like it's about fucking time it's about take a
Starting point is 01:00:21 look at this bucks county senate race it was m McCormick and outflipped Bob Casey. It's not going to change the results. And I think The New York Times hasn't even called the Senate race, to be completely honest. Yeah, The New York Times won't call it despite the fact that Casey cannot win. So now The New York Times is actually counting what everyone knows to be illegal ballots. Yes, this number should not be inverted. The New York Times should not be calculating illegal ballots. The Supreme Court of PA said do not count.
Starting point is 01:00:50 That's wild that they're doing this. And that lady says she was going to count the illegal votes just to make sure that the higher courts pay attention to it. Well, if we get our DOJ in there, they're going to definitely pay attention to it. Well, not if. It's just a matter of when yeah because i mean if donald trump will be inaugurated and like there's going to be someone that's going to be the he's going to get her wish have this really bad habit of doing this okay that's all in the past we're all going to look forward now to the future we're going to let all of this go they have a bad habit of doing this i i new world i understand what you're saying but i i do think that especially
Starting point is 01:01:26 the people around trump like trump is looking to go in and get rid of a lot of the corruption that that that is the mandate as far as as far as i can tell that's the mandate that he's got to get in and get you know drain the swamp he he he said that he was going to do it in the first in the first um in his first term term thank you um but he obviously wasn't you know wasn't prepared to be to do it because he didn't understand how the government worked how deep the rot went etc now he's got significantly more um more information he's got he's much much wiser he's not nearly as naive as he was now again i'm not saying that he's going to be perfectly successful, but there is going to be an actual, I believe that there's going to be an actual real attempt
Starting point is 01:02:14 that's not just like, oh, I'm going to go in there and fire everybody. I think that the last four years that he's had without being the president, I think it's all very good that that happened, honestly. As much as people want to say, you know, 2020 was unfairly decided, it's good that he had that happen because you had not just to see what they did when he was in office, but the way that they treated him and the things that they've tried to do since he was out of office. Well, he doesn't have anything to lose.
Starting point is 01:02:40 No, nothing to lose. He has nothing to lose at this point in the next four years. He's got four years to basically get rid of these scumbags who have done this yeah 18 months he has 18 months he doesn't have four years because once you get once the the midterm uh the races for the midterm start he's not going to get any kind of support from congress yeah he has there's not a flip fair enough but you don't know and so and so so he's got it but he has to get it done as soon as possible and i would agree with you because i we were talking with, I can't remember who we had on the show. They said once you get.
Starting point is 01:03:10 Roger Stone, right? No. Oh. Roger Stone was not on the show for a minute. Shit. Once you get to the midterm cycle, a lot of these squishy Republicans are going to be too scared to take these actions because they'll lose. However, I'm going to make the argument now that I don't know is guaranteed. But I think right now the shape of this country is if Republicans try and play that game, they'll lose no matter what.
Starting point is 01:03:30 If Republicans play that, I'm not going to do anything. They lose. Goodbye, because no Republican will vote for you. So if you're a Republican, you want to win. The only option you have is to get behind the popular agenda. Because if time comes and you say, you know, look, I'm in a moderate district, so I'm not going to support Trump's agenda and hope I can win Democrat votes, every Republican will primary you. They'll be like, you are done,
Starting point is 01:03:52 and we're going to get someone else to run against you. We are sick and tired of them sitting on their hands writing strongly worded letters. Well, yeah, but the threat is primary. He's got to get as much done as possible as long as there is the capacity to primary the people that decide they're not going to go
Starting point is 01:04:09 along with him. We never primary anybody. No, but the point is that there's a lot of people that are ready to do it. And there's money to do it too because Elon Musk said that his America PAC will fund primary challenges. So get on board Republicans. Again, Donald Trump has 18 months.
Starting point is 01:04:25 And if you're going to, to inhibit what the American people have voted for, which is to do as much damage to the corrupt people in the, in the bureaucracy, in the, in the entrenched bureaucracy, get as many of the corrupt people out of there and put them in jail. If you're going to stand in the way you're going to get primary.ied that's that's not there's no question about that musk's got a boatload of money in the america pack and they're going to be watching for people that don't that don't fall in line to support the agenda has a massive also motivation failed motivation he has a massive information machine yeah i mean the the idea here is that uh working in tandem with trump that they can identify who these people are so that the justice department can go after him and the american people
Starting point is 01:05:12 are informed of what's happening and because of x and because of people like tim this show here and stuff these these elected officials they're going to be put on blast like if we get wind of it someone that's that doesn't want that's been hindering the efforts to actually get the corrupt people. Again, we're not trying to go after people that are innocent or just trying to mess with people just to mess with people. If you're hindering... How many of them are innocent, though?
Starting point is 01:05:38 Fair enough, but the point being is I don't want it to sound... I don't want to sound like we're just looking to get the Democrats I want it to I want people to understand that we're after the corrupt there's plenty of people that are corrupt and I agree with you you know more corruption than not corrupt but the point is shows like this excuse me shows like this people like Elon Musk platforms like X make it impossible to hide impossible to hide if you're If you're not falling in line with the Trump
Starting point is 01:06:07 agenda and you're just looking to pad your re-election, you're going to get primary. Well, if he makes that an actual, if he makes it a priority, immediate priority to go after the same people who were responsible for what happened to these people on January 6th, throwing them in jail, not giving them fair trials, none of this. If he really moves towards an agenda like that, then I think he'll be extremely popular immediately. I think so too. And he'll keep that momentum going. But if he does the same shit that we saw last time, where it's the forgive and forget we're
Starting point is 01:06:45 just looking forward he's done i think we're getting way more gates already i'm like oh geez yeah like if he chose somebody else you know i i hear ratcliffe i'm like okay you know all right i was hoping for cash patel but maybe cash will be fbi director gates wants blood yeah so when he said when he said gates i was i was i was sitting on my phone i'm scrolling and my eyes are half closed i can't remember what time the announcement came out i just started yelling and i like ran to allison and i was like holy crap yeah she was like what's going on i was like because first i saw tulsi gabbard and i was like all right tulsi gabbard dni let's go then i saw matt gates and i was like oh so trump are we gonna see uh are we to see a Rand Paul audit the Fed?
Starting point is 01:07:27 Oh, dude. Are we going to see it? Are we going to see a Rand Paul audit the Fed? I don't know. He could be part of Doge. I mean, Mike Johnson's in Trump's entourage at UFC. That's kind of weird, but yeah, I guess it means a lot. Yet, Trump can get Gaetz in through a racist appointment as long as Mike Johnson says,
Starting point is 01:07:43 I want to adjourn. Senate says no. Trump says, Article 2, what is it? Article says, I want to adjourn. Senate says no. Trump says, Article 2, what is it? Article 2, Section 3, I think. He says, you're hereby adjourned. Then I will appoint through recess for the next year Matt Gates as AG. Have fun. Mike Johnson being there with him
Starting point is 01:07:58 on the plane, leaning over as a McDonald's, he's in the entourage. It's like you're bringing a nerdy kid into your little club. Not only that, but what that is doing is it is messaging to Congress. It is messaging to Congress. He is saying, as the Speaker of the House, I am on board with the President's agenda. So you are going to have to get on board. And the guy that, John Cornyn, I think is the guy that's the new... No, Thorne.
Starting point is 01:08:23 Yeah, Thune. So I don't know the whole deal, but I retweeted a thread about some of the backroom deals, and the point of getting Thune was to actually get things like... to make it so that way you could get amendments back in bills, because Congress has been voting on bills without amendments for ages and ages and ages,
Starting point is 01:08:43 and they're trying to re to, to undo the damage that's been done by, by making everything vote on the whole bill. And if you can get actual amendments back into the bill, then you can get, you can get Senate to have the Senate to have, have the power and the position back that it was supposed to have. And that's,
Starting point is 01:09:01 so that's another thing that will help get the Trump agenda. Well, I don't, I don't, I don't't trust senate but don't matter um i think you know bill wise and legislatively these things can be undone who knows it'll be good fine we need proof of citizenship for federal elections i think i think there's a deal component with trump and mike johnson where he says look matt gates didn't want you. Matt Gates wanted Jim Jordan or somebody else. He obstructed. He led the charge.
Starting point is 01:09:31 We'll take him out of your hair. He tells the NRCC, Matt Gates, Trump goes, look, Matt Gates will no longer be an issue for you. He's going to be my AG. So long as you guys agree to either help him get in or resus appointments then matt gates is out of congress and no one's going to get in the way of the nrcc and who they want for their leadership and they're probably like great good deal yeah great yeah okay so they're they're probably thinking fine you can have gates take them we don't want them and then the rest of us are like oh i hear i hear he's not liked uh by anyone not by his policies, but just because he's such a
Starting point is 01:10:05 firebrand. Even by his own colleagues. But you know what it is? It's because Congress is so corrupt. Right. I like it. There's a component of this with AOC as well, and the squad. The candidates who are funded by individual donors, they don't have to fundraise as often.
Starting point is 01:10:22 They can go online and be like, money, and it trickles in. The other rank-and-file guys and men and women have to fundraise as often they can go online and be like money and it trickles in the other rank and file guys and men and women have to be on the phone every day they have to raise that money so they can pay off their either the dccc or the nrcc matt gates is like screw you guys i can do whatever i want you don't have power over me yeah they don't like yeah well and some of these people um to be perfectly honest, are bland and boring. And Gates, for instance, he's fun to listen to. As a public speaker, you want to tune in.
Starting point is 01:10:56 So when you have that kind of charisma, it's very easy for you to self-fund if you need to as well. And this also lines up Gates for a higher level position potentially in a future administration. So some people are saying Vance Gates 2028. Ooh. Yeah. Gates AG, though, is a— Well, some people are saying vance gates 2028 yeah gates ag though is it we'll see on are we going to pass on tulsi because we are our bench is president yeah i'm not sure about his president i i agree i i do feel like he's a great vp and i think he has potential he showed this on the debate but he's a never trumper i don't care about that my my concern is will where we go for years? Does Vance break the barrier of a grandiose figure like a Trump? No one's going to be Trump. Yeah. Right now, Vance is a really great VP. He's exactly what Trump needed. I think he was a great choice. Will he be the presidential charismatic, loud, booming voice? We'll see. But I'm looking forward to it. He seems like, but this was the one thing that got me. I understand politically why he went with Vance, but Pence turned on Trump. And Pence was a pretty good VP for the most part. You know, he was okay. Yeah, he's C plus, good, not great. Yeah, he was fine, right? He was okay. But the thing is, he turned on Trump very quickly. He turned on Trump. Still is turned on Trump.
Starting point is 01:12:06 And so to get a never-Trumper, it's like right now, while it's popular, while it's a popular thing to do, this type of thing, yeah, sure, he might seem great. But I worry the chips are down. Is it time for Vance to snake? He looks like a snake to me. He does. He looks like a beady-eyed little snake. Don't trust the guy.
Starting point is 01:12:23 Beady-eyed? I don't know. Tim, real quick, I meant General Flynn. Don't trust the guy. Beady-eyed? I don't know. Tim, real quick. I meant General Flynn instead of the other guy. Yeah, yeah. Let's jump to this story from Fox News. New York Times fact check of RFK Jr.'s claim about popular breakfast cereal stuns social media. Spitting out my coffee after reading this New York Times fact check of RFK Jr., one ex-user wrote,
Starting point is 01:12:44 Well, if you're drinking Casper coffee, you would never spit it out. So go to Casper.com. See how I did that? That was pretty good, right? It's still delicious. Is this about Yellow 5? So yeah, so check it out.
Starting point is 01:12:52 Here's the original article from the New York Times, and it is such a good, ridiculous, I call it a hat trick. It's whatever the right is for, we're opposed to. It is fake news and a stealth edit because they did change it after a while. So they say this. Mr. Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of a product with too many artificial ingredients, questioning why the Canadian version has fewer than the U.S. version. But he was wrong.
Starting point is 01:13:20 The ingredient list is roughly the same, although Canada's has natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots, while the U.S. product contains red dye 40, yellow 5, blue 1, as well as butylated hydroxy toluene, or BHT, a lab-made chemical that is used for freshness, according to the ingredient label. So everybody saw that and they were like, so he was right?
Starting point is 01:13:40 Totally right. 100% right. So here's what they do. They stealth edit the article, and now it says something totally different. Now it says, let me jump to Froot Loops. They had to put a correction in at the bottom. Let me, where are we at? It says, Mr. Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of a product with too many ingredients. In an interview with MSNBC on November 6th, he questioned the overall ingredient count.
Starting point is 01:14:03 Why do we have Froot Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients and you go to Canada, it has two or three? He was wrong on the ingredient count. And then he goes on to say the same thing. The problem is it's still a ridiculous fact check because we know what he meant. No, he doesn't literally think that Froot Loops has three ingredients. It's going to have wheat, water, egg, whatever, sugar, coloring. He was saying basically that we have garbage in our foods that they don't have. And he's completely correct.
Starting point is 01:14:31 We have butylated hydroxy toluene, BHT. Well, and yellow five, which is a coal. It's an industrial coal like a byproduct. I think dye names should be banned. The first thing RFK Jr. can do if he can't ban them he should require that they call them what they are yellow five is tartrazine call it tartrazine or and in parentheses coal derivative but the you know the problem is unless you ban it this is the way i'm not a libertarian. People don't care. They will eat plastic if it is sold to them.
Starting point is 01:15:07 It is a problem in this country. The libertarians tell me all the time, if they sell a bad product, they'll go out of business. That's not true because every single diner sells hydrogenated cottonseed oil and calls it butter spread. Well, they're addicting. Like, Doritos are addicting. They're so good. Yeah, you can't say things
Starting point is 01:15:24 like, whoa, people, this tricks your brain into not knowing when you're full. That's why somebody can sit down and eat an entire bag of Doritos. It tricks your brain. You don't know that you don't actually want more Doritos. Yeah. The idea here, these food chemists do. They go in and take these foods. They add additives, which do that.
Starting point is 01:15:41 They become addicting in and of themselves. You go, okay, well, you're selling an addicting product from the shelves and then you say well people are when once once they're informed they'll just stop buying this highly addictive product well that hasn't happened with smoking that hasn't happened with all sorts of so yeah some some of these things you do have to just do an outright ban you had to be like no and there's no reason for us to have yellow five and fruit loops that's insane this is what pisses me off apparently the food company said when they removed these dyes people didn't want to buy them anymore so they brought them back and i was like don't care literally don't care i was i was i got pissed off when i was reading on the story this
Starting point is 01:16:18 morning because we went to go uh allison and i and uh we went with richie we went to the river to cook breakfast in the morning and they got a rope swing over the water. And it's just so amazing out here. This was actually Maryland, not West Virginia. And so I was like, let's get some eggs, goat cheese, cheddar, bacon. We'll fry it up over a fire. I grabbed, I was looking for, I don't want to bring avocados out. So I was like, I'll get a tube of the mashed avocado they have.
Starting point is 01:16:44 I grabbed one and looked in the back, and it was mixed with gellan gum locust bean gum sodium benzoate and i'm like nope not eating that garbage right next it was the same one turn it around avocado sea salt lime done and i was like i don't understand why this other one has the ridiculous weird garbage all in it because of expense so the idea with fruit loops let's take fruit loops you could get the fruit loops to have all those colors using something like blueberry carrot we know this how because it just told us that they do that in canada right slightly alters the taste maybe maybe it doesn't even slightly alter the taste uh but it probably makes the product more expensive and so if it makes it more expensive,
Starting point is 01:17:26 they don't want to invest in it. That's it. I want to play this clip. It's a wholesome, nutritious breakfast cereal. This is Chris Mowry, and this is a part of the story. This is the, whatever it is the right likes, we hate. Listen to this. The reason chronic disease in the United States is increasing is not because of chemicals in the
Starting point is 01:17:42 food. Okay, as Donald Trump takes power, and we're all reeling from the fact that this psychopath is going to be in office, some of the most misinformation that we're going to have to fight against together is health-related. RFK Jr. is an environmental lawyer, not a doctor. I'm going to pause right there. Who's he?
Starting point is 01:17:54 Hold on. I'm going to pause right there. He already said two ridiculous things. Chronic illness is not caused by chemicals in the food. It actually is. This is a fact. Tartrazine. Information.
Starting point is 01:18:06 But tartrazine, studies have found that it could cause or exacerbate asthma. Although, now the Wikipedia's been edited to be like, nope, totally fine. Like last week, probably. He then says... What about high fructose whole corn syrup?
Starting point is 01:18:19 RFK Jr. is an environmental lawyer, not a doctor. Right? Let's play that one more time. This misinformation that we're going to have to fight against together is health-related. RFK Jr. is an environmental lawyer, not a doctor. Okay, pause. The current HHS secretary is Xavier Becerra. Becerra? Is that how you pronounce it? Becerra. He is a lawyer, former AG of California. Before that, was a U.S. rep representing downtown L.A.
Starting point is 01:18:47 He's not a doctor either, and that's who they appointed. This is proof. Guys, please. The whole Democrat liberal infrastructure is whatever the right is for, we're against. Even if it's like you have butylated hydroxytoleuine in your food, you don't know what it is or why you're eating it, it's a good thing. Well, why are the representatives, though? Here's the thing. I will say this. The one good thing that they've done're eating it, it's a good thing. Well, why are the representatives, though? Here's the thing. I will say this.
Starting point is 01:19:06 The one good thing that they've done for us, this kid's a dork. Like, what a dork. Look at this nerd, right? He's going, guys, listen to me. He's like, who's going to ever listen to this dipshit? Nobody's going to listen to this guy. That's why 4,000 people left him and came over here, right? They're not going to listen to this dork.
Starting point is 01:19:24 It's ridiculous. Listen to the doctors. You know why chronic disease in the United States is rising? It's because of obesity. Well, Chris, why is obesity going up if the government is doing their job? Completely wrong. So colon cancer has been on the rise among healthy young people. This is a huge story.
Starting point is 01:19:40 There was a couple of studies that came out recently suggesting that high fructose corn syrup and emulsifiers have been causing colon cancer in healthy, fit, athletic young people. High fructose corn syrup, like I just said earlier. That industrial product, that and seed oils, things like this. Really, really bad. So let's play a little bit more. Capitalism. Everybody has more money than ever in the most complex, well put together society ever on the face of the planet. Look at where I'm sitting.
Starting point is 01:20:09 I'm sitting in a vehicle where small explosions in the back will propel me forward to the nearest fucking McDonald's. I just got to pause. In the front. Are you aware that Chris, are you there on the front of the car? I don't know that Chris is aware, but impoverished countries have cars, too. And other combustion, the combustion engine is not unique to the United States. Get a meal that's very calorically dense and yet low in nutritional value. And I can do it cheaply and in like five minutes.
Starting point is 01:20:38 We fix this via education. I don't know. Eat a diet that consists of more whole foods, for example. He's taking the libertarian route, which is really weird. These liberals are so anti-right that they'll even become libertarians to argue with the right. I reject the free market solution to all of these things. I drive to every diner. On the weekends, Allison and I will get breakfast somewhere. And every single diner uses aerosol spray on their grill for cooking food. I don't want to eat that. So we're like, I don't know if I want to do that anymore. There's only one restaurant around here, Martinsburg Family Diner,
Starting point is 01:21:13 that has real butter. When you order food, they bring you out a little thing that says it's real, it's actual butter. Every other diner we go to, even the smaller ones, we try to go to the expensive ones. They'll give you packets of butter spread. Like what is butter spread? Hydrogenated linseed oil or some other garbage nonsense. Nobody cares. And I don't know the degree to which this stuff is causing poison or whatever the point is. Well, it's part of the high trust aspect that we have. Right.
Starting point is 01:21:39 And so you think that everything you're getting off of the shelf has already been vetted. It's already known to not be poisonous. Nobody would would give you things which are poisonous to eat. That's insane. Right. Of course, our government's looking out for us. And of course, the opposite is true. And so, I mean, you're absolutely right.
Starting point is 01:21:56 You can't use a libertarian free market approach to this. You need an authoritarian approach. And you actually have to say, no, I'm sorry, you can't sell actual poison. You can't do that. So, funny story with the recent push from these psychopath leftists for Aquatifana. Did you see this? Aquatifana was being pushed by these leftist women. I'm not going to get into too much detail other than it's a poison.
Starting point is 01:22:18 These women are psychotic. Oh, the drug thing? The way it worked is the first dose. Oh, they're women? No, I'm kidding. Kidding. They are women. The worst dose, the first dose would make the man feel like he had a cold.
Starting point is 01:22:31 The second dose would make him feel like he had the flu. The third dose would put him on his deathbed, and the fourth dose would kill him. So the idea back in the day, in the 1600s when this woman was doing it, was that nobody would suspect it was poisoning. They would just think he was getting ill and then somehow died yeah that imagine that times times 10 40 instances of eating something and you don't realize you're feeling sick because of it so there's a right now there's a lot of people who have done carnivore diets or maybe they're vegan or whatever and what i think uh jordan peterson and michaela and joe rugan were saying about the carnivore diet is that it's an elimination diet it's not that you want to eat
Starting point is 01:23:08 only meat forever it's that you eliminate everything from your diet and see if you feel better and if you do it may be that something you were eating was causing your chronic illness and by the way almost everybody who has used the carnivore diet i've used it myself as as exactly that elimination right found out all sorts of things that bothered like bizarre things i would who has used the carnivore diet, I've used it myself, as exactly that, elimination, right? Found out all sorts of things that bothered me, like bizarre things I would have never thought of, like watermelon. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:31 You know what I mean? All sorts of little strange things like that. Almost everybody who's ever gone on that diet for a few months, it almost always feels a million times better. I don't think it's that, in my opinion, I don't think you should be eating nothing but beef, but people do.
Starting point is 01:23:48 I think it's... Beef and chicken and... Yeah, it's like steak. Right, but I'm just being a little hyperbolic. Yeah, yeah. What I mean is that it's all the garbage you've eliminated. It's not necessarily just the bread or the sugar or the watermelon or whatever it may be.
Starting point is 01:24:01 It's that a lot of the stuff has chemicals that will make you sick, and you're dosing yourself with it every single day. And then this kid who's like, what is he, like 17 or something? Is like, I'm in a car with a small explosion in the back that pulls me forward. It's like, like you mentioned, the explosions are in the front, actually.
Starting point is 01:24:17 In the front, where the engine is, yeah. And third world countries. Here's the boom boom in the back. So I went to Thailand. And my buddy, who lived in Thailand for seven years, and he was Filipino, we were working on a project for vice i said i want real thai food and he's like oh you want real thai food huh okay i'll get you real thai food and i knew exactly what he's going to do because i do this every country i go to we go to this little corner corner a residential area
Starting point is 01:24:38 the first floor on the corner had uh like like aluminum grates that were like lifted up gates or whatever and it was an open kitchen that looked at someone's house but it was big and he sat down he ordered in uh in thai and she brought out steamed chicken and rice that's it steamed chicken white rice and he goes this is thai food this is what they eat in thailand and i laughed and i was like i figured almost everyone in the world literally will just eat steamed chicken and rice and he was like all the other stuff people think is thai food is like specialty prepared stuff or Americanized. I went to Brazil. I told my buddy I want Brazilian food.
Starting point is 01:25:12 And he's like, real Brazil food? Yep. Guess what it was? Steak and rice. That's it. There's no ridiculous, weird, garbled nonsense. We eat all that stuff because we're nuts. So I'll give him credit on that to a certain degree.
Starting point is 01:25:22 He is right about high-calorie, low-nutrition food. That's true. Is this why capitalism is bad? I mean, but it's also a very obvious statement. And he packs—leftists do this all the time, right? They take one piece of the truth and pack it in with so many lies that it makes the rest of the lies seem like they're true. Yep.
Starting point is 01:25:42 And this is exactly what this dork is doing right now yeah and their leaders this guy i mean he's totally wrong but like how are the democratic party and the leftists having him and um harry sisson how are they supposed to be their online leaders when they're just well they don't debate they don't do confrontations you can't get parker dean the the next two uh they don't debate. My understanding, wasn't Dean supposed to come on here? Yeah, he canceled the last minute. Oh, what a shock. Coward Dean.
Starting point is 01:26:10 Coward Dean also said that he would do a live debate on whatever. Backed out of that. He said it on video. Said it on video. He then tweeted. I responded because he was like calling out Aiden Ross or whatever. He was like, when are we going to debate, bro? And I was like, Dean, we're still waiting for you to reschedule.
Starting point is 01:26:23 You said you'd figure it out. And then he was like, I'll do it right now, live. And I'm like, we're not doing the show right here because they know they create impossible circumstances so they can't do the show and then go, oh, he won't have me on. Well, they want to do it. It's worse. They want to do it on their TikTok because what they do is they mute you. Absent the mute button, these people have nothing. Oh, yeah, yeah yeah you can't get through a debate so i always say the same thing i'm like look uh i know culture war will host us i know uh whatever will host us tons of platforms which will host us you don't have the
Starting point is 01:26:56 mute button and there's a moderator and that's a debate not you go on tiktok you click the mute button so that you can you know what i mean that? That's ridiculous. This is the left mouse. It's like we were talking about before with like Destiny and Sam Seder and them. And, you know, I'll stress this too, because it's a point I made a couple weeks ago. I used to think it was no point talking about these guys. I'm like, who cares about some YouTubers? Like, well, the corporate press. It matters.
Starting point is 01:27:18 But it matters now. And I've learned this. I have reconciled. MSN, Joe Scarborough is getting 28,000 viewers. They don't matter at all. Like, why bother talking about them ever? We absolutely should be talking about Sam, Destiny, Pac-Man, Brian Tyler Cohen. They get way more viewers.
Starting point is 01:27:37 They're the ones getting more to shift the cult. So it's not even just that. It's the orbiters, The idea of the orbiters. It's not that a guy like Destiny or a guy like Vosch or people like this in and of themselves, while they're a machine, they spawn orbiters. Vosch came from Destiny. Hasan Piker came from Destiny.
Starting point is 01:27:56 These guys' career got launched off of Destiny's back. Yeah. Vosch was a He was an orbiter inside of the community his name was irish laddie or something stupid right he was a joke he was a commie they would make fun of him he was a butt of every joke wow and then he goes off and he becomes uh you know his his own brand spawned off of destiny so these orbiters that spawn off of them then go and make
Starting point is 01:28:22 and then they go and make budding they're like a it's budding. They're like a plague. It's called budding. Yeah, budding. That's the asexual reproductive process where they form off of one thing and flop onto the ground. Well, that's why he's always seething about Hassan. He's always so upset with Hassan because Hassan essentially got the boost from his community
Starting point is 01:28:40 then went on to become the next big thing, way bigger than Destiny. Yeah, but it's kind of wild that Hassan's views are like way down. now you think they'll come back yeah why do you think so yeah well i think uh right now because his content is so polarized because it's focused on this war and he's picked the side on that uh i think that after this maybe dies down i think that you're going to see a reemergence of bread tube. I've always thought so.
Starting point is 01:29:08 I never thought that bread tube and the bread tumors and the commies were ever actually going to go away. They just seem to consolidate a little bit more. They kind of dim for a little while, and then they come right back in. No, I don't think the commies on youtube are at risk of dying anytime soon no i don't think he's gonna die off but his his views collapsed yeah and he had like a breakdown over it was like yo what's going on i think they went down by like 20 i'm not sure that it so when this drop off for him happened he was getting like 40 to 50k per per show and it dropped down to like 15 to 19 yeah he's back up in the
Starting point is 01:29:46 now now i think he's getting like 28 29 yeah well they're so fragile he he thought about self-harm because of that because he has such a he posted something about hurting himself because his viewers collapsed i mean it's fragile bonded yeah yeah man yeah it's remarkable how um like deranged a lot of these people are. So there was a video about Mr. Beast doing the cataract removals. Hassan made a comment on it. Everybody roasted him. I made a video saying Hassan is correct.
Starting point is 01:30:20 Hassan's point was it's ridiculous that to cure people of cataract blindness, we had to turn it into a game show. Like isn't there a more effective means of helping people? And I was like, he's right. I mean that's idiocracy level insane. And then I went on to say things like maybe if we weren't wasting money in the military industrial complex, dumping it in Ukraine, we could actually just, I don't know, pay for people, pay for their cataract blindness treatments. I would much rather see instead of $250 billion going to Ukraine, $250 billion to pay off people's medical debt or give them minor treatments like cataract blindness. He responded to my response making fun of me for as much as he was like the military industrial complex is bad. And then when he heard me say we shouldn't give money to Ukraine, he starts laughing going, yo, can you believe this guy?
Starting point is 01:30:56 Like Ukraine should just be left on their own. And I was like, I'm sitting here being like, I don't understand how we agree on everything. And you still found a way to act like we don't agree, and you're upset. You can't throw these people a bone. Because the thing is, all Hassan is doing, and these liberals, is they're looking at their chat, and then waiting to see if there's a consensus, and then agreeing with it. That's it. I wonder if we could study that.
Starting point is 01:31:18 Like, look at their chat. You think that's actually true, that they're looking at what's going on? Hassan Piker is notoriously dumb. Dumb as a box of rocks. And everybody knows that. Hold on, that's offensive to rocks. Rocks are boxes as well. This guy is so, he's so stupid. They used to make fun of him when he
Starting point is 01:31:33 was a 300, 400 viewer Andy because of how dumb he was. They just thought he was good looking, right? But they were like, he is so stupid. He's just as stupid now as he was. The guy has never been an intelligent entertainer ever uh he's always been dumb that's not why people tune in uh is for his uh his smart takes so um yes he's a very dumb guy but i wanted to make one comment about the uh about the whole
Starting point is 01:32:00 self-harm thing yeah people like hassan and probably i i would imagine someone like destiny and vosh this is something i've noticed with a lot of these bread tubers and a lot of the people on the left they don't have anything else right so like tim's got multiple businesses that he's doing it's not just irl he's got the morning show he's he's got his hands in a bunch of different stuff you look at all the guys over at daily wire they're writing books they're doing they're doing multiple things all the leftists the only thing they do is the is is stream so if they stop streaming the cash dries up real quick so all their bills they're effed they're completely screwed because they don't have i disagree a little bit the so these guys like progressive victory and some of these other packs they have made political operatives out of the Twitch leftist streamers.
Starting point is 01:32:49 But they have to stream. What I'm saying is if their stream dries up, if their stream dries up, they have nothing else. Many of them can become very, very competent political operatives. And I'm telling you, there's one right now. I can tell you one right now brianna woo brianna woo became a you know failed streamer but a very very good political operative for the democrats it's like no they don't only have one pathway but that's funny how much they despise brianna and uh brianna's been what Yeah. Yeah, well, that's the reason that they despise her.
Starting point is 01:33:25 That's right. Well, it's not just... We got to go to Super Chats, but I want to point out one thing, and maybe we'll get this on the members only because it's hilarious. Dr. Simon Goddick says, I was just labeled intolerant by Blue Sky and accused of discriminating against protected groups, WTF. Ironically, that's not very tolerant of them. Basic.
Starting point is 01:33:43 Blue Sky, this is funny because Jack, it's Jack Dorsey's thing. I'm pretty sure this is what he was talking to me about when I was on Rogan in the green room waiting to go on the show. He was mentioning he wanted to do this decentralized thing, total free speech. So Dr. Simon got it, goes on to Blue Sky and says, great to be here. I hear this is a free speech platform, so let's put it to the test. COVID was a plandemic. Epstein didn't kill himself. There were only two genders. Men can't get pregnant.
Starting point is 01:34:08 Bill Clinton likes him young. Trump will make America great again. And then they said discrimination against protected groups and banned him from, well, liberal tiers. Maybe I have no idea. Men can't get pregnant. The point is, as all these leftists flee to Blue Sky, Blue Sky's reporting that they're getting something like hundreds of thousands of reports per hour. These people can't live with themselves. No, they can't. Not at all.
Starting point is 01:34:32 But let's, we'll go to Superchats. We'll talk more about that in the members only, where we can be a little bit less family friendly. So in the meantime, smash that like button, share the show with everyone you know, become a member over at TimCast.com. Click join us to support our work and get involved. As a member of the Discord,
Starting point is 01:34:48 there's a bunch of people that are going to be friends with you. Maybe they won't be. I don't know. We'll see how you act. But there's meetups, there's pre-shows, there's after-shows, and if you're trying to figure out how to get involved, it's one way to do it. TimCast.com, and you're supporting this show. That members-only show will be up at 10pm where you as members get to call in and talk
Starting point is 01:35:04 to us and our guests. Let's go! We got Big Cheese says, howdy everyone. Hey Big Cheese. Howdy. Peter Gohawk says, can we get a Trump dance around the TimCast table? Indeed. We don't have a wide shot though. Andrew's refusing to do it. He won't do the Trump dance.
Starting point is 01:35:19 I won't do the Trump dance. Too cool for school. We gotta tilt our head to, right? That's right. So John Jones, not only was he the winner, right, based, but when he did the Trump dance,
Starting point is 01:35:33 he did it right. You know, I'm watching those frat boys do the Trump shimmy and one guy's going like this and I'm like, that is not the Trump dance. One guy was going like this.
Starting point is 01:35:42 I'm like, that is not the Trump dance. You cock your head to the side and you go arm in, arm out. And then what he, what John did was he went, I'm going to do the Trump dance. One guy was going like this. I'm like, that is not the Trump dance. You cock your head to the side and you go arm in, arm out. And then what he, what John did was he went. And then he pointed.
Starting point is 01:35:51 Yeah. Yeah. It's so good. And then he gave Trump the belt. Look, man, everybody should laugh at the Trump dance,
Starting point is 01:35:59 but a Trump dance is a choice a person made to laugh with everybody. And the getting on your knee was something they didn't choose to do, but were forced to do under threat of penalty. So we are winning. Go team. All right. Dan Cam says, congratulations, Tim.
Starting point is 01:36:17 You were featured in Shane Dawson's new conspiracy theory video, LOL. And you're welcome, my brother in Christ. Hey, thank you. Where in the video? It's like an hour long i don't really know about much about that guy but you know whatever is he a big name he's famous i think right yeah yeah well i mean he used to be i thought he disappeared for a while totally disappeared from the internet for a while nate parrott says hey guys tim what do i tell lefties who say that the reason why things were good under Trump because of Obama's policies and the reason things were bad under Biden were because of Trump's policies?
Starting point is 01:36:48 Ask him to name them. Ask him to name the policies. So I had we have various contractors who come in here and we're all friends of them, but some of them are more liberal. And this is the funny thing, like run of the mill people who come by to do contract work and we hang out with might be liberal, but we don't get into it. We don't. Yeah. And so one of our skaters here and one of our contractors was here. They were talking about something I don't know talking about, but a contractor asked skater. I don't even know how Trump will make butter cheaper anyway. And so so Johnny, a skater was like, hey, Tim, how how is Trump going to make butter cheaper? And I was like, OK, we'll start
Starting point is 01:37:23 from the beginning. Joe Biden, one of the first things he did when he got in was he banned the Keystone Pipeline and he banned fracking on public lands. The shutting down of the Keystone Pipeline caused a speculative price hike in oil because the speculators in the oil industry said speculators and the oil industry said that the next five years supply will not meet demand because the Keystone Pipeline has been shut down and we can't frack. This is going to cause a price spike. So we better buy things up now, causing a preemptive price spike. By all means, rag on speculators. This happened. Donald Trump wants to deregulate the energy industry, which would likely cause a decrease in every element of the processing, packaging and production of butter, which means
Starting point is 01:37:56 when it comes to the grocery store, if the cost of fuel goes down, every element of its production, petroleum is going to result in cheaper plastics, cheaper packaging, cheaper printing, everything. So, easy answer. Trump deregulates energy. We produce more energy. The cost to ship everything goes down. And that's the easiest way to put it. There you go.
Starting point is 01:38:15 Say that. Also, if he goes through with the decrease in corporate tax, that also will likely lower the cost of these goods at your local market. Why do you think, how will that correlate? What do you think? Well, because when you raise the corporate tax, just like when the progressives are saying Trump's tariffs are going to raise prices, that's true. They are going to slightly raise prices. There's no doubt about that. Only on imported goods. That's true. But we have a lot of imported goods. Let's be real. But so does raising corporate taxes. If you raise the corporate tax rate, then that's a hidden tax on the consumer. It's always a hidden tax on the consumer. Where else does it go? It goes to the consumer. So if you decrease the corporate tax rate, that is no longer a hidden tax on the consumer. The issue likely with raising taxes will hit publicly owned companies.
Starting point is 01:39:10 With the fiduciary obligation to deliver profits, if there's a higher tax burden on the corporation on their profits, they're going to deliver lower profits to their shareholders. So they're trying to find a way to maximize profits, as is their fiduciary. Raise the prices. So if they're saying, we delivered X amount amount last year and we want to hit that target this year, but we got to pay more in taxes, then you will likely see them try to make up that money in some way. And it's because they are legally obligated to make profit for the shareholders. They have to pursue their fiduciary responsibility. Now, I will say. So you're saying if we lower the court saying if we lower corporate tax rates again, like he's talking about, maybe 5%, 10% he's even saying, that will lower the cost of these goods.
Starting point is 01:39:55 It depends on the company, yes, and it goes a couple different directions. When you increase taxes, so outside of the public realm, when they increase taxes on us, we actually spend more. So all that does is stimulate economic activity to a certain degree. Economics is tough, and I'm not an economist. What I can tell you is for a company like ours, which is singly owned by me with no responsibility to the public, when they say, Tim, your tax rate is going up by 8% or whatever, I say, okay. So if at the end of the year I have have $100,000 and I got to pay 40K to the government, I'd rather just spend that 40K on my tax deductible equipment allotment
Starting point is 01:40:30 and then hold a $40,000, I don't know, van as equipment that I don't pay taxes on because it's tax deductible up to a million dollars. And so then I buy a van from a salesman. Then the salesman makes money. Then the dealership is cycling inventory. However, we don't have shareholders. If you have shareholders, you have a fiduciary responsibility to generate profit. So you're going to be cutting the costs everywhere and trying to figure out where to make more money because you can't just push your profits. If you're a publicly traded company and you say, let's just spend our profits into the market so that we can, you know, so we don't got to pay the taxes. Boom. And now you're not, you're not delivering profits to the shareholders.
Starting point is 01:41:06 Shares are going to sell. No one's going to want to be in the company. So you're actually going, no, no, no, we got to make money. We can't do that. We'll up the cost of the good. Yes. That's the primary way that that's done. We'll up the cost of the good.
Starting point is 01:41:15 I thought going public was always a good thing. Now you're making it sound like a bad thing. It's a good thing for the people who own the company and trying to cash out. Usually going public is like, let's say I took Timcast public. We calculated the revenue and then I said, I'm going to sell 30% to the public for $30 million or whatever. I get $30 million in cash
Starting point is 01:41:32 and then now the company is publicly traded with all these rules and regulations. The company probably falls to crap. This is why you get butylated hydroxy toluene in your food because they're like, look, if we make cereal and it lasts on a shelf for two weeks and it gets thrown in the garbage, we lose money. If we put BHT, it costs a little bit more, but it lasts four weeks.
Starting point is 01:41:58 We're going to sell it. So, for instance, what happened to us recently is that Casper Coffee decaf, we had a batch expire, which means it's been sitting for a year. So we ordered around 5,000 units of each coffee at a time. And then the Ian's Graphene Dream sold out like crazy quick. Shout out, Ian. Yeah. So it's – I'm sorry. Let me clarify.
Starting point is 01:42:26 We order 5,000 bags and they make the coffee in small batches every so often. We had a, we had a batch made of Unwoke and we didn't sell any. So it expired.
Starting point is 01:42:38 They tell us it's actually fine to drink, but as per regulation, it's expired. You probably don't want it anymore. And so on our end, we just lose that. find a drink, but as per regulation, it's expired. You probably don't want it anymore. And so on our end, we just lose that. If we were to try and figure out a way to do
Starting point is 01:42:52 higher-end preservative or whatever, we wouldn't have that problem. We wouldn't have to worry about product that doesn't sell. So, anyway, that's why we ended up doing a sale on Unwoke for the remaining that didn't expire because I think we had like 500 that was made. So people hit us up saying they want a decaf. So we made a couple hundred, I think five or 600, and then sold barely any and the rest just sat
Starting point is 01:43:15 around. And we were like, ah, we have 5,000 bags of this sitting around. So we're probably going to order it in much smaller batches, much smaller. I think each batch is usually like a couple hundred bags and they sell pretty quick. But that's why they're going to put it in much smaller batches. Much smaller. I think each batch is usually like a couple hundred bags and they sell pretty quick. But that's why they're going to put chemicals and garbage in your food. Because they save money. And they have a responsibility to their shareholders. Yep.
Starting point is 01:43:37 That's why people eat garbage. Alright, let's go. Yeah, I didn't eat anything today, actually. Very bad for you. I had my omelet, as per usual. And I had two protein shakes. I had two of these meat sticks, in which I think the ingredients are all easily discernible. Citric acid, pepper, cultured celery powder.
Starting point is 01:44:00 It's fine. But I had no time. Just crazy busy day. Yikes. Real quick, are you doing like five, seven videos a day now I'm noticing? Six. Okay. Yeah, and then I have to record early to get Friday, Saturday, and Sunday done.
Starting point is 01:44:14 So this weekend I only had one each, but I'm trying to figure out. I thought you were backing way off because of the kid. We got something in the works. Yeah. Yeah, and so we got something in the works. Yeah. Yeah. And so there's a, you know, we got something in the works. It's rough. So we're working on with the new year ad sales, which we, so here's the double-edged sword, I guess.
Starting point is 01:44:34 We don't do ad reads and we never did. Like, I'm sorry. We do some sometimes, but rarely. Top of the show, we did Home Title Lock. We usually just shout Casper Coffee. It's our own company. Because I don't, look, in the morning, I find news articles. I read the news. I hit record. I rant. I hit done. I'm done. Recently, I've been shouting out Casper because we want to promote our own stuff and make
Starting point is 01:44:55 money off it. There's a solution. We need to hire a CEO. We hire a CEO or we take investment. Right now, the strategy is we got a couple of companies that want to do ad sales. So every segment we put out, we'll have like a 45 second to a minute ad read in it, which is what we never want to do. But I suppose it's better than not doing any shows ever again. And then IRL is likely going to have one ad read at the top and one at 930 before we do super chats. So a pre and a mid roll. That is going to generate enough revenue where I can hire two CEOs or an executive team to just run things. The alternative is we're also negotiating with more extensive deals like strategic investment and things like that. And so for the time being, I'm just trying to work as much as I can, especially too because we're taking next Wednesday,nesday thursday and friday off for the holiday and
Starting point is 01:45:45 then for christmas the whole week of christmas is just there's in you know guys i don't want to take any time off i'd love to work through the holidays but we tried this and you can't book guests so there's nothing you know so i'll probably do in-house because i'm bored last year i was like fuck i was like f i have a, fuck. I was like, F, I have a whole week. I'm not used to, none of my job's having a whole week off. Everybody's got family stuff on Thanksgiving. I mean, true. And so, you know, I was asking Phil, like, maybe Phil could do Wednesday, but Phil's got Thanksgiving. Then we don't got production crew.
Starting point is 01:46:15 I'm in for the Christmas area. But, dude. A whole week is a lot for, you know, just in general. We need, you need driver. I know. You need camera production. A lot. At least like three people and a guest.
Starting point is 01:46:26 And so it's like, nobody's coming here on the day before Christmas Eve. Didn't you have a bunch of cancellations a couple years ago? Because people couldn't make it? Yeah, and then we ended up booking last minute local guests who were friends. And then we were like, this was a mistake, right? Viewership is down. And that's fine because we
Starting point is 01:46:42 believe in doing the work, but you can't get people to come out and I don't blame them for it so i'm like i think we should just be like every other normal person and just take the holidays to go see family and then that's our that's our vacation time and i think we're planning on coming back on like the second of january nice so i'm trying to work as much as possible until then and uh you know we'll see we'll see uh we're talking with a couple of the really big ad sales networks and uh it sounds really great um we've we've brought on someone already who's managing things and handling a lot of the heavy lifting and so a couple routes we can do is strategic investment slash buyout which i don't know if
Starting point is 01:47:16 it's possible and then all i gotta do is the show and i don't gotta worry about anything uh jason dixon will buy you out remember him yeah the alternative is uh strategic investment which is simple yeah somebody who runs a media company buys a small portion of the company and then assumes management i still reap most of the benefits but they're in charge i sit back and say tell me when to read the ad we'll do the show but then also it's hire a ceo and executive management team to do all the work for that we need to make make a lot more money. And so this is the point in Shark Tank where the guy shows up and says, I got a big company. We're making lots of money, but we're at a point where we're hitting our heads as founders. We're not CEOs. And then we
Starting point is 01:47:53 need X amount of money in order to do this for us. We make enough money to where if we just decide to do the ad reads, we're going to generate enough money. And that solves a lot of problem. It's still really annoying trying to find the CEO to run things. I bet. Yeah. Cause look for all the people who are like, I could do it. Hire me.
Starting point is 01:48:10 It's like, you know, you don't. Yeah. I never said CEO, this, this, get this on the open.
Starting point is 01:48:14 No, it's just no way we've, we've talked to people about proper management and there's things you just, you really do have to have the expertise. That's why strategic investment is the much better option. Somebody who's already networked with all the podcast networks, television networks, ad sales companies, hiring someone to do that and being like, okay, for the next six months, try and build the Rolodex is just, it's a really difficult thing. We'll see though. We'll see
Starting point is 01:48:35 though. I've been having a bunch of meetings and I say it's a, it's all very good news. It's all very good news. Excellent. Yep. And then there's still the uh possibility of switching only to the morning show but we'll see we'll see i'm trying to avoid that because uh i mean now tim castellar is doing better than ever well not better than ever covid was a weird time but uh since the end of the pandemic yeah our numbers are fantastic revenue projections are ridiculous we're taking over podcast presidency all that stuff it'd be stupid to get rid of what is typically the biggest news show on youtube yeah were we number one last week or something we're tip we're usually well at least live for the prime time we're always number one prime time yeah like not always always but like 80 of the time sure sometimes some guy will do
Starting point is 01:49:18 league of legends and beat us but uh but we beat all of the other big news streams like today our peak concurrence like like 61K. Nice. You know? And so even when we get 40, you know, a few months ago, that was still usually the top if you go on YouTube's live. So there's no reason in just abandoning ship, but we definitely need to expand and then bring people in.
Starting point is 01:49:39 That's a good sign. That means you're blowing up, bro. Sure. Right? I mean, in a way. It's tough because you know 16 hour days you know what i mean yeah and i feel you i see i see it i work with you yeah so that that's the big challenge with all these other companies that want to do some kind of deal it's
Starting point is 01:49:53 like look man i'm not doing a morning couple hour recording like like all these other hosts that do all these shows they'll record for an hour or two hours and then they leave and i'm like no i'm here sun up sun down and if you want both of these shows in some capacity you know either ad sales like so the ad sales right they're saying okay sam we want to sell ads on your show we sell them up front i say okay that means i'm working 16 hour days it alleviates i can hire someone to alleviate all of the heavy lifting and split my day in two but like this deal is it's it's it's a lot more difficult than your average podcaster who's like i record till three and then i'm done yeah yeah it was funny i was talking to joe rogan and he
Starting point is 01:50:31 asked me how much i recorded per day i was like i think four hours he's like so just four hours per day that's it it's still only four hours and i was like no joe that's it's like four hours plus 10 hours of research it's just it's nuts it's like i wake up i'm reading the news non-stop i record in between recording i'm reading then i eat exercise and then i get ready to for the for the for the late night show yeah you like live here almost yeah all right let's grab some more greta thanos says it's not revenge it's righteous fury look upon my work see mighty and despair terrible quote uh i must say in in reference to what you're talking about uh the ozymandias quote was a reference to a great and powerful pharaoh who was claiming territory of a mighty kingdom that had been left to ruin. The point was that time makes fools of us all.
Starting point is 01:51:13 So to say it's not revenge, look upon my works ye mighty in despair, is if to imply that after a long enough period of time, Trump's power will wane and his effectiveness will be nil. So, but I do love Ozymand mendias who is um wait percy um jackson no the poet was percy bish shelly tell me i'm getting that right let me see you know ozzy mendias right percy bish shelly am i pronouncing that wrong probably because i read it i don't know how to pronounce the guy's name. It's a guy, right? Phil? Bish, I was correct. Percy Bish Shelley. Yes. I'm very happy when I remember stupid things like that.
Starting point is 01:51:51 Anyway, Ozymandias is an awesome poem. Let's go. Alright, we got Distracting Games says, Destiny and Hasan should both be banned from all platforms and imprisoned for the threats and calls for violence. They've both called for violence, haven't they? Destiny has. He said for the MAGA people to start shooting the rioters in the street a couple times. Wow.
Starting point is 01:52:09 Yeah, I got it posted. So he got real mad at me and went off after I said, and I feel like I said it quite dispassionately, that he's not welcome on this show not because I have beef with him, but because he glorifies violence and murder, and that's against the rules. You can't go on a show and advocate for glorify or celebrate someone dying as is a very harsh YouTube rule. If we invited him on when his whole shtick at that period was consistently gloating and bragging and calling for more, I'm like, we'll just get banned. So we can't do that. He got really mad. And then
Starting point is 01:52:42 something about Laura Loomer was on the show. And I'm like, we took that episode down. It was like this. Tim shut it down. And the other thing, too, is about Laura is that she was making a point that I don't think was ban worthy. She's making a point that the codified penalty for treason is death. And I said, yeah, we can't call for that. We don't do that. He gloated and glorified.
Starting point is 01:53:02 It's very different. Laura's response is, I'll try to be more cognizant of the rules I didn't realize. His attitude is, so what if I said it, I'll say it again. So I'm like, you see the difference in why Laura's not banned from the show. It's because her attitude is, no, no, no, I don't want to get you banned.
Starting point is 01:53:17 We want to do a good show and talk about important things. Yeah, but they're never going to be good faith about that. Oh, I know. He's never going to be like, okay, yeah, that was totally reasonable. And you know what? When I go back on his platform in the future i'll respect his platform under the assumption he would respect mine never gonna happen never gonna happen and that's why i said he's it's i was like i got no beef he's a guy with different political opinions he can say what he
Starting point is 01:53:36 wants but you know for that reason he won't come on and he's lost it not now since then he's just absolutely lost it i actually think it's when his wife left him. The cuckold? Well, I mean, I'm not going to insult him. Yeah, my bad. You can call him whatever you want. I'm just saying, whatever happened between him and his wife clearly was devastating for him. It happened between his wife and someone else.
Starting point is 01:53:56 Oh. His wife left him for somebody else. And his only opportunity, it seems, is to lean into it and say, so what? I don't care. Because he's being attacked for something pretty brutal for any man. Yeah, if you're married to a woman and holy moly. I mean, what's the story of Marcus Aurelius? His wife cheated on him, so he murdered the man she cheated with, boiled his blood, and then bathed her in it or something?
Starting point is 01:54:19 I didn't know that. Was that the story of Marcus Aurelius? That's kind of stoic. That's a stoic Marcus. Something like his wife cheated on him. Let me see. No, no, maybe he didn't boil the blood. He killed the guy and poured the blood on her in public or something.
Starting point is 01:54:32 Wow. Something like that. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know enough about Marcus Aurelius. I just read that on the internet somewhere. Look that up. We're looking right now. Okay, you got it, Phil?
Starting point is 01:54:42 Well, I don't have it. I'm looking. No, I mean, but. I mean, look, Destiny is... He's bad faith all the time. Yes. I mean, that's not... There's no debate about that.
Starting point is 01:54:55 So, I mean, good riddance. I mean, one of my favorite things on X that I enjoy is dunking on Destiny and some of these other far leftist, crazy, lunatic people. You know, just... I don't have have a you know an ex is fun but when you get the chance to be like this guy's crazy and psycho and out of his freaking mind that's fun to share with the world right well yeah we've been we've been pretty we've been pretty much laughing non-stop at destiny for about a half a year right because? Yes. I made a shirt.
Starting point is 01:55:26 Did you? That's right. He's gone progressively more insane. You know what I mean? As he has, his community has gone progressively more insane with him. Yeah. And so you can kind of collectively laugh at all of them because it's pretty funny. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:55:41 So Marcus Rulis didn't kill his wife. It is not correct. No, Fustina didn't kill his wife it is not correct I was reading that the claims that she cheated and that he took any kind of retribution are largely mix ups based on other myths it's a good story though not everything you read on the internet is true
Starting point is 01:55:57 Destiny is going to sit there and lash out at people that you know he feels like have slighted him somehow that's why he he attacks tim because i mean tim was tim was gracious enough to have him on the show and and tim gave him props because he he agreed with kyle rittenhouse and until until destiny started saying things that were until his wife left him yeah well yeah but i mean the the reason that you just articulated about why he's not welcome on the show,
Starting point is 01:56:26 until he started saying things, you know, speaking about violence and stuff like that, Tim would welcome him on the show, you know? He had him on twice. So he's just salty because Tim was like, oh, I'm not going to have you on here because you're saying things about endorsing violence, you know? Yeah, the first time we had him on, as we were getting ready for the show, I was like, you know, we're going to agree on like most things.
Starting point is 01:56:48 And he's like, like what? And I was like, like when it comes to tax policy and stuff, we're probably going to agree on these things. And he's like, well, I don't know. And then we largely did. However, he is evil. Yes, he is.
Starting point is 01:56:59 I don't mean that, I'm not saying this to be emotional disparaging. He literally said on the show that Democrats should use crises as a means to manipulate the public to implement the change they want. And I was like, OK, that's evil. And I was like, you know, we were talking about I think we're talking about COVID. And I said, Democrats are manipulating the crisis to make these changes. He goes, when else would they do it?
Starting point is 01:57:21 And I was like, oh, but that's wrong. And he's like, why? I was like, well, OK. I was like, that's like, why? I was like, well, okay. I was like, that's an opinion you're allowed to have, I guess. Thank you for expressing that. All right. Stephanie X says, Tim. I mean, from their worldview, though, that makes sense.
Starting point is 01:57:35 Yeah. Stephanie X says, Tim, and you inspired me to open a business. I have placed a rock on the pile every day. Now we have launched. It is a way to buy or sell local farm animals and similar items. We could use the service to bring TimCast chickens to the world. Let's talk. Ooh. I love it. Yeah, we were talking about
Starting point is 01:57:50 making Chicken City brand chickens. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that. And then basically just selling them so whereas a normal chicken could be like $5.20, we'd sell them for $6 to $21 or something. They're Chicken City brand. Do they get like a tag or like a tattoo on their legs or something? Oh, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:58:06 You can put the little bands on them to identify them as part of the flock. Yeah, we're building Roberto his own house because new Chicken City is live. And so the chicken meter
Starting point is 01:58:16 and all that is available. If you go to chickencitylive.com you can watch our chickens. And if you give a super chat, an automatic dispenser will drop mealworms for them.
Starting point is 01:58:25 Yeah, Chris has it hooked up all nice, and it's a big old area. And then, like, Kim just opened up the outside, so pretty soon they're going to be able to go outside. Oh, yeah. It's a big old nice area over there. And every $100 that goes in, the chicken party goes off, and it plays music and disco lights, and the chickens run over, and they eat.

Starting point is 02:00:54 Yeah, Forever Cold, No Tomorrow, Divine, and Let You Go are three brand new songs that we've released in the past six months. You can check it out on YouTube, Spotify, Pandora, Deezer, and Apple Music. Don't forget, the left lane is for crime. Get over to the right. Real quick, I just want to mention this because I'm just seeing the story right now. I don't know if it's new. No, it's from earlier in the day.
Starting point is 02:01:14 I just want to point this out. The numbers on the Alex Jones bids were just released. One company is FUAC, which is the supplement sales. I believe Jones may be associated with it. I don't know. They say he's associated with it. They put in a bid for all of InfoWars assets at $3.5 million. They claim The Onion put in $1.75 million bid for InfoWars.
Starting point is 02:01:37 And they said that, let's see, Connecticut families promising $1.75 million in cash in addition to a waiver from the Connecticut families promising some proceeds from the sale of Infowars assets, which Connecticut families valued at 2.625 million. According to the filing, FUAC said accepting the onions bid was collusion and argued that including the contingent waiver in its valuation was improper. So if this supplement company offered double what the onion was bidding for, there's some impropriety there. And now that I'm seeing these numbers, 3.5. Feels kind of small, though, in general. I'm kind of thinking of putting a bid for InfoWars. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 02:02:16 Let's go. I mean, look, the brand is the brand. I mean, I don't know that. InfoWars. I mean, if 3.5 is a bid that's going in for assets of 2.6, but you get InfoWars, I mean, that's kind of crazy because I feel like any Bitcoin millionaire could just fart and buy it. Jason Dixon.
Starting point is 02:02:35 Yeah, Jason. No, no, that's not even a joke. Jason, if you're listening, you should buy InfoWars. Yeah, 3.5, forget about it. Wow. And he lives down in the Texas area. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:02:45 Let's go to the Members Only show. We'll talk more about this stuff. Thanks for hanging out. We'll see you all over at forget about it. Wow.
