Starting point is 00:00:00 Currently, far-left anti-Israel protesters are clashing with police, breaking through the barricades, and they're on their way, and many of them may already be, at the Met Gala, which, for those that don't know, it's basically the Super Bowl for women. And it's a huge deal with photographers and celebrities, and there's dresses and all this stuff, and I don't know much about it, but apparently it's a really big deal, because it's like the fashion moment of the year. And I wonder what's going to happen with these far leftist protesting because the celebrities are supposed to be on board with these left wing causes. And other big news outside of that, the police, well, I should add real quick, the level three mobilization of police. Yes, because they're taking it that seriously. But the other big news is that Politico released a report showing that the biggest donors to these anti-Israel protests are actually also Joe Biden's biggest donors. So sure enough, the woke stuff has come to bite him from behind. Unfortunately for Joe Biden, he's now losing the youth vote as well.
Starting point is 00:00:56 So we'll talk about that. Columbia's canceled their graduation. And here's what I love. Joe Biden has suspended military aid to Israel despite it being congressionally approved. Well, most of you know that's what they impeached Donald Trump for, except that was Ukraine. But Joe Biden, when he suspends aid to Israel, nothing happens. Then they're saying that the pier they were building has been suspended as well and will no longer be built in Gaza, but in Ishtar, in Israel. Gee, I wonder why this is. It seems the protests have shifted the Biden administration's plans. And now they are pulling back from what Israel is doing, as Israel says they're going to go into Rafah, whether the U.S. wants them to or not. And of course, the U.S. is still sending
Starting point is 00:01:35 weapons to Ukraine, which proves the Ukrainians control the United States. That's right, everybody. Everyone knows since the creation of the Ukrainian state or the fall of the Soviet Union, they have controlled all of U.S. military. I'm kidding, by the way. But we'll talk about that and a whole bunch more before we get started. Head over to castbrew.com and buy coffee. Look at Alex Stein's big face.

And now I'm out here basically fighting for freedom of speech through my stand-up and getting to talk to people like you. Right on. Thanks for hanging out. Libby's here. I'm Libby Emmons. I'm hanging out. I'm the editor-in-chief with the Post Millennial. Glad to be here. Hannah Clare's here. I'm Hannah Clare Brimelow.
Starting point is 00:03:33 I'm happy to have you both here tonight. I'm a writer for scnr.com. That's Scanner News. Thanks, guys, for watching. Hi, Serge. Hello. How are you doing? Pleasure to be here. Thank you for coming. Also, don't forget to click the link in the description below. Go to found.ee slash divine and download, listen to, add to your Spotify the new single from All That Remains, Divine. It's an amazing song.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Shout out to Phil Labonte, homie, and recurring co-host on the show. He just put out that new single, and we're big fans. We want to help him get a big push.. I definitely recommend you guys check out the song. If you're into metalcore or heavier music, that's definitely going to be fun. Let's jump into the first story. We got this from the New York Post. Over 1,000 anti-Israel protesters
Starting point is 00:04:16 marched toward Met Gala, blocked traffic, quickly hindered by cops and arrests made. I just want to say, when it gets to the point where you've torn down barricades and you're fighting with police, it is a riot. I don't know why the media is so scared to call it a riot when they say demonstrators protesting. Yo, they're fighting cops in the street and they're tearing down barricades. That's violence. That is a riot. So we have this from Raw's alerts. New York police have just declared a level three mobilization as pro-Palestine
Starting point is 00:04:45 clashing outside Met Gala, forcefully tearing through barricades. And for those that don't know, the Met Gala. Jennifer Lopez stuns in sparkling see-through bejeweled ensemble as she leads star-studded arrivals on the red carpet for fashion's biggest night in New York City. Ladies and gentlemen, the far left is threatening the Super Bowl for women. That's basically what it is. I have no idea what the Met Gala is or about. All I know is that a bunch of women wear fancy clothes and everybody in the media talks about it. It's a big showbiz thing. And Libby agreed with me. Yes, Libby supports Tim 110% on this assessment. No, she actually disagrees. She has a fashion event. And I'm like, so basically women. And gay men. Okay, but basically women. And gay men.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Okay, but basically women. And gay men. Yes, I know. No one's discounting them, but they're only like 2%. That's sort of what it is. No, not anymore. Isn't like 24% of Gen Z identifies as part of the LGBT? Break that down, though. That's overwhelmingly women identifying as bi.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Yes, that's correct. And still among Gen Z, the amount of people identifying as a gay man is actually relatively, still very, very low. Yeah, and lesbians. Lesbians are also pretty low on the list. But yeah, anyway, the Met Gala theme this year is it's the Garden of Time. It's set up with their new exhibition,
Starting point is 00:06:02 which is Sleeping Beauties, Reawakening Fashion, because the Met has a really big fashion exhibit. They have like, this is part of their thing every year. So this is a star-studded glitterati event. The red carpet is very long. Everyone gets very excited. Zendaya looks weird. I don't know if you guys were checking out the pictures.
Starting point is 00:06:20 And what I find really amazing. I wrote the fashion review for the night. I got to be honest. She looks better than the other two women. Yeah, at her eye makeup i don't like that it's fine look but yeah i mean she's a beautiful young lady she always looks good you know she could pretty much wear anything she always looks pretty good but the thing that i love about this is that this is a bunch of hollywood celebrities and new york rich people showing up to this event being protested by people who they claim to agree with on this cause.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Yeah. That's my favorite part. Hypothetically, this is a fundraiser for the costume institute, the Met Gala. But obviously every year, and I feel like every year as social media has gotten bigger and bigger, it's just more of a like, let me take my picture there to show that I'm elite and like that Vogue's editor-in-chief likes me, which I just find kind of like creepy and way too like Hunger Games elite. TikTok is one of the big sponsors this year.
Starting point is 00:07:08 And again, like it's all of this like parading around hypothetically. It's like these designers got the chance to make what could be considered, you know, very artistic clothing. Ultimately, it's about like presenting yourself as being incredibly important and famous. But, you know, we talked about this a little bit
Starting point is 00:07:24 before the show. A couple years ago, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez showed up in the Tax the Rich address, and people were like, wait, that's an ethics violation. She shouldn't even be there. There was another state senator. Wasn't it that the address was loaned to her or something, and it was super expensive, and there was like, there was an investigation? And there was also, she got the tickets for free. Right, right, right and the tickets are like
Starting point is 00:07:45 $35,000 really expensive I mean it's crazy and so I'm kind of wondering if there will be a Gaza themed dress
Starting point is 00:07:55 on the carpet tonight because there have been increasing instances of people using this as a way to like demonstrate their politics the thing there though
Starting point is 00:08:03 is hypothetically Anna Wintour the editor in Tiva Vogue gets to to sign off on whatever one is wearing. Like this is such a weird controlled fame experiment that maybe she Anna Wintour is like, no, no one's allowed to talk politics on the carpet. It's the Hunger Games. It's so the Hunger Games. It's creepy. And now there's a bunch of anti-Israel protesters outside yelling.
Starting point is 00:08:24 I would love it if they made their way into this event and started you know protesting and well the nypd apparently veered them off into central park and then blocked the exits yeah oh that's unfortunate yeah it is unfortunate i kind of really want to see them on the steps with them okay look what's with like most of these women are just naked well that's fashion tim got to just show it all off. And especially you pay so much money for your plastic surgery, for your new butt and your extra lips and stuff and like your fancy boobs. You don't buy a porch to park in the garage, right? No, come on.
Starting point is 00:08:58 You buy this stuff so that you can strip down. Plus, so many of these people are high on ozempic right high on ozempic right well if you're skinny you're happy except ozempic apparently blocks your pleasure receptors and makes you what makes people happy it's increasing the number of pregnancies it like messes with birth control there's a whole wave of women who've gotten pregnant while they're on ozempic i think that's like positive that's a great thing hey i think that ozempic is great i love that skinny is coming back i'm like it's my time to shine so yeah i'm sitting at 75 pounds so i'm like this is
Starting point is 00:09:31 well this is your summer fair point ozempic ended body positivity i guess yeah let's bring back the thigh gap baby it's just admitting that that it was body positivity when people didn't want to uh who wanted to not have to do any work. But then when they decided they could pay for a drug to make themselves skinny, they were like, actually, we like skinny now. Yes. You scroll past a picture, I think, of Gigi Hadid. And her sister, Gigi Hadid, she's a model. But her sister, Bella Hadid, has been a really outspoken Palestinian.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Aren't they Palestinian? They are Palestinian. And their dad has gotten in trouble for saying. Rich refugees. Right. They're rich refugees. I think so. I don't.
Starting point is 00:10:11 I know that's their heritage. I don't know, like, their specific connection. That's how the U.N. classifies you. If you were ever if your family was ever from Palestine or Gaza or whatever, then you are a refugee. Right. And so so Bella Hadid was like sparring with Netanyahu's government at one point in the last year before the October 7th attacks, I believe. So Gigi Hadid, I think, has said nothing.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Again, it's really interesting because you'll have these celebrities who are like possibly supposed to signal they're on one side of this conflict. But it makes me wonder how intensely they've all had to swear like, no, we won't say anything. We don't want to disrupt this fashion event. Look at these. You got a couple of banners here from the protesters at the Net Gala. Columbia is complicit. All eyes are on Rafa. What did Columbia do? Honest question. What did they do? They evicted students who they suspended from their dorm rooms. No, no, no. I'm saying like, what did they do to support Israel blowing up Gazans?
Starting point is 00:11:04 Well, the demonstrators can't even tell you because their protests, their demands are all about their protest. Their demands are all about the students getting amnesty. And then look at this other. They don't know anything. This other banner says they tried to bury us, but they didn't know we were seeds. And there's a couple of watermelons on it. Watermelons are the that's the symbol for the palestinian resistance when you're watermelon
Starting point is 00:11:25 yeah it's like if you're not allowed to speak out about palestinian resistance you use a watermelon but these people are allowed to speak and they're not also like yeah it's just a mindless thing they saw on the internet one time they don't know what it means or what's what it's a reference to have you seen they're literally protesting is, but they're mad about a university telling them not to sleep in the grass. A lot of these people are just pissed because during the BLM riots, they were in high school
Starting point is 00:11:51 and they didn't really get a chance to go out there and let loose. It's Gaza Floyd. I think they're just looking for community. You know, it's like something to do, something to be a part of. It's an arts and crafts project. Arts and crafts. I can make a poster. That's kind of fun. I can hold it, look like I'm doing something important. Do you think Michael's, the craft store is making a lot of money off of this
Starting point is 00:12:13 poster wave? Just like with the women's march after Trump, I wanted the same thing. So the thing is with these young people, they're in college and all of their peers are saying and doing this thing. So you want to fit in and you want to go with the flow and be part of the crowd. This is how you do it. The police are an outside institution that don't exist if you're on this university, right? NYPD specifically.
Starting point is 00:12:34 So New York government, the federal government, war, military is an out group and pro-Gaza in group. So many of these people don't know what they're protesting for. They're just there to be there. Yeah. Have you seen when you'll have, you'll have like, you know, other students come out and be like, you're saying intifada, do you know what that means?
Starting point is 00:12:53 And they don't. Of course they don't. They don't know what it means. They don't know that it means like violent uprising against Israel. They just want to be able to take like an Instagram photo or tweet it out and like, look, here I am at this protest. I'm doing the cool thing. I look really cute.
Starting point is 00:13:08 They say globalize the intifada. And if you ask them, they couldn't tell you. And a lot of them will say things like, oh, it just means like to protest. It means rising up. And you're like, oh, so like what is the context of the first and second intifada? What happened then? And they're just like, oh, I don't know. And you're like, do you want to talk about like the bus bombings and like the people who were killed?
Starting point is 00:13:28 Yeah, I didn't think I didn't think he cared about any of that. And that was a lot of that was even just recent. Like, wasn't it like a lot of early 2000s? Yep. That's crazy. Yeah. If you look at the list of terror attacks in Israel, a lot of them kicked off in the 2000s. Yeah, because you had Hamas went to war with Fatah in like a civil war in Gaza, and then Hamas won, and then they were elected to government, but it was after this like really brutal civil war. And that's when, and then you had a lot of the terrorist attacks happening at that time.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Heavens, heavens, these protesters, oh no, they're demanding nothing. They're demanding only things for themselves well it's it's just you know i don't live in new york anymore and uh i kind of feel like this is nuking democrats and biden there's a lot of people who you know i've talked to recently and everyone you know we can point to the one of the most vocal figures in this, Michael Rapaport, who have just outright abandoned the Democrats over this. And you know what we should do? Let's let's let's jump to this next story. Actually, this is from Politico.
Starting point is 00:14:33 This is huge. And this is this is radioactive for Joe Biden. Pro-Palestinian protests are backed by a surprising source, Biden's biggest donors. Sorry for anybody paying attention. It's not surprising in the least bit. We assumed it already. But thank you, Politico, for actually reporting it, which is weird if you ask me, like, really? Politico is coming out right and saying George Soros, Rockefeller and Pritzker are funding the anti-Israel protests. That is uncharacteristic
Starting point is 00:15:04 of Politico. I think the deep state is throwing Biden under the bus. I think protests, that is uncharacteristic of Politico. I think the deep state is throwing Biden under the bus. I think so, too. And I think Biden is trying to throw Hunter Biden under the bus. He faces gun charges in June. I think they're perfectly happy to let him get slapped with a bunch of felonies, pretend their problems just get locked away. They're like, your time's up, son.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Yeah, I think you're right. I think the deep state is a little done with Biden. He can't do anything, you know? I mean, I don't know why they're mad. They're doing just, it's the same thing as what biden does funding every side of a conflict i think you you look at republicans wanting to ban tiktok three four years ago or this is actually longer than that right this is like four or five years ago well you had trumped an executive order trying to ban tiktok it was like 2019 wasn't it yeah and they and they blocked it and then i think what and and you know at the time it was like we don't like that tikt TikTok is woke and it's pushing all this stuff on kids.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Now, I think what happens is with all this anti-Israel stuff, with Soros, Rockefeller, and Pritzker having funded this, according to Politico, many of these, these, these, these organizations saying we don't, we don't fund it anymore. Like, oops, they didn't know what they were backing. I feel like the deep state's now looking at it being like, guys, Trump is, his people are more pro-Israel than the left. And the democratic funding has all soured, gone strongly anti-Israel. The deep state's got no choice. Trump's the only option for them. Otherwise, what is Biden going to do? Biden suspends the ammo shipment to Israel. The pier that they're constructing is canceled and moved from Gaza to Israel.
Starting point is 00:16:29 It was attacked. And then they said, oop, weather, we're moving. Surprise, surprise. I think Joe Biden is bending the knee to the Democrat voter base, which overwhelmingly disapproves of Israel. And you can see now what they're funding. And this means for your older Democrat voter who is pro-Israel, Democrats are screwed. They're like Bill Ackman and Michael Rappaport and a lot of those guys. Is he voting
Starting point is 00:16:51 for Trump now? Who, Bill Ackman? No, Rappaport. He keeps saying like it's on the table, but he has not said that he was going to. Someone told me he did. Did he say it? I know, right? Because I had been searching for it and waiting for it because that would be a really nice little story. He is. No question. Anybody that's voting for Biden at this point is a complete retard. Yeah, they're just well, they're not paying attention. They have no idea what's going on. And or they're far left, I guess.
Starting point is 00:17:17 I don't I can only imagine that if you hate Israel and you're watching Joe Biden take these actions, you're happy. The protesters are calling him Genocide Joe because they're out of their minds. They're demanding all of these things and Biden is capitulating. But for a lot of the people who actually do care, they're probably very happy with Joe Biden's actions as of late. I think Joe Biden supporters are a very weird group right now because I don't know if any Democrats are like, I think he's a great president. I definitely want to vote for him. There's, you
Starting point is 00:17:50 know, there's a portion you'll talk to Democrats who are like, well, I would never vote Republican. So I guess I'm going with Biden because he's going to be on our ticket. But then you get a wave of people who are like, I am a Democrat. I would never vote for Joe Biden, either because of the economy or because of the Palestine conflict. And so he doesn't have a huge pool of supporters who are like, he's handling this well. I mean, he is he is his economic policy is extremely disheartening to most Americans. And then he looks incredibly weak doing anything on the geopolitical front, right? Like, no one looks at Biden and says that guy is a strong leader. I vote for him because I feel confident in his ability to survive the next four years. I mean, it looks like elder abuse. It does. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:31 They're already talking about the basement strategy again. Well, yeah, they have to bring back this bird flu thing. And so that Joe Biden can actively just go into the Delaware basement. I bet they never took the set down. No, I mean, I bet he's been there the whole time. Right. He goes to Delaware basically every weekend. I mean mean he was just there wasn't he he's there like a couple years ago to report on it he is there for the majority of every weekend remember when trump was present they're like he is golfing this weekend he is hit terrible meanwhile biden is
Starting point is 00:18:58 actually gone all the time they're like and he's never golfing when we see biden on vacation he's sitting there baking like some sort of, you know, boiled lobster on the beach. And you have Trump. When he goes on vacation, he is active. He's actively out there exercising, you know? It's like that's actually very cool having a president who's so fit. Well, one time Joe biked, but then he fell off.
Starting point is 00:19:18 He fell off the bike. That was rough. He looked like Kermit the Frog on the bike. Do you think they just have Joe Biden hooked up to, like, stem cells 24-7? Well, you saw the pictures of him when he had woken up from a nap and you could see the outline of the, what do you call it? The CPAP machine. Remember?
Starting point is 00:19:31 You could like see it on his face. I think they must have pumped him so full of drugs. There was one where there was like tape on his hand for an IV or something. Yeah. He had like a mark on his hand for like an IV or something. I think that he must, I honestly, honestly believe this. I know I have nothing specific to base on, but like,
Starting point is 00:19:45 I think the reason he has to go back to Delaware to one of his two residences is to get medical treatment every weekend. I think that there is a reason that they're keeping it so secret and they made a big deal
Starting point is 00:19:53 out of being like, the visitor logs at the White House are available, but not this other place where he spends all his time. They have a priest hole for a doctor.
Starting point is 00:20:01 You know, they have like one of those. He looks weak and we need somebody strong like Trump. You met Trump. I met Trump. Yeah, you met trump the other day that's pretty cool he's a funny guy yeah he is a funny guy right yeah and like the way they characterize the uh i wasn't at the early fundraiser i was at the later fundraiser and he's just ad-libbing stand
Starting point is 00:20:18 up it's just improv he's just going up there and making jokes yeah everyone's laughing the whole time there was one point where he looks up at the at where, like, the patio of Mar-a-Lago, and there's two guys talking, totally unrelated to the event. He's like, look at them. Two people at my club. They're shaking heads. They said $10 billion deal. He's like, that's what we're doing here.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Everyone's having a good time. And it's just, he's just silly. It was just one big joke. And he's critical of Biden and all that. But then I read the press, and they're like, Biden, you know, Trump is angry and frustrated and yelling. I'm like, what? He was goofing off the whole time. I met him, he had a smile on his face
Starting point is 00:20:50 and he was cracking jokes with everybody. Just hanging out. Did you see, I was watching, I think it's MSNBC, Lawrence O'Donnell. He was doing, this is like from two days ago,
Starting point is 00:20:58 talking about Trump's trial in New York and he was like, and Trump was so scared to see me. He freaked out. He would be like, you are so obsessed with him. He's like, the next day I moved closer, but he didn't look at me. Like this is a live media presentation person who's so deranged and self-absorbed that they think that that's all Trump is thinking about. Trump did not think about the person once.
Starting point is 00:21:17 No, Trump is an actual performer and comedian. He's just living his life. And again, he just derives such intense, I don't know, hatred from people who think he is what a threat to their livelihood. You could still go on TV and yell at Trump if he was president, you know? What I loved was how it turns out Biden is actually annoyed that foreign leaders and dignitaries keep coming to meet with Trump in New York. And he's just he doesn't like that at all. Yeah, but he's weak.
Starting point is 00:21:42 So why wouldn't they go for Trump? I think if you look at, you know, Mike Johnson, pro-Israel, funding war, Donald Trump's meeting with him. I think Trump's going to win. I think the deals are happening behind the scenes to, like, unite with establishment forces and MAGA forces and say, look what you're getting with Joe Biden. And you can call it a surrender. You can call it a compromise. But I think a bunch of the establishment forces are now realizing that Democrats were funding this. We warned them. And now Trump's probably laughing, being like, you had every opportunity to get behind me in 2020. And look what you've done to your foreign policy. He's going to win because he already won. And anybody with a brain knows that the last four years have been an absolute joke and uh you know but it was the most secure election in all of the
Starting point is 00:22:30 history remember that guys the most secure election i never remember anybody talking about secure elections when i was a kid that never came up no and it was like they wanted to make sure you knew in advance like you know it's like before you show up to the bank i just want to let you know this bank is very secure and then you walk in all the money's gone right you're like what they're like the money's there yeah nothing suspicious happened in 2020 at all it was just an amazing year for all of us collectively probably one of the best years of our lives i think it was uh was it kellyanne conway on bill maher did you see that clip no where she says something to the effect of trump won and then they, you know, Bill Maher's like, no, he didn't.
Starting point is 00:23:08 And then she's like, well, clearly he didn't. Look, we're dealing with 20 percent inflation, 30 percent rent increases, 36 percent medical cost increases. You're right. Joe Biden's the president. And then he's like, we'll get to all those things. It's like I saw that Bill Maher trying to deflect. We'll get to those issues. And everyone laughs. And saw that Bill Maher trying to deflect. We'll get to those issues. And everyone laughs.
Starting point is 00:23:25 And I'm like, no, you'll address them now. The point is, Biden as president has just taken a dump all over the floor. The Afghanistan collapse was insane. There was no point for that. Now we're dealing with massive inflation. We're dealing people can't afford anything. More importantly, we're dealing with all these insane stories about illegal immigration and young people can't afford to buy homes. The crazy thing is, Nate Silver posted that poll, 18 and 29-year-olds, their number one issue, immigration across all
Starting point is 00:23:56 demographics. Now, how does that happen? Immigration? 18 to 29, because they can't buy houses. They can't get jobs. They can't find a place to live, even a rent. Well, and that's why they're all out there protesting is because they can't buy houses. They can't get jobs. They can't find a place to live, even a rent. Well, and that's why they're all out there protesting is because they can't find jobs. I'm telling you, if these people had good jobs or making good money, they could buy homes. They wouldn't be out there with poster boards. Well, and the thing, too, is you have like in Michigan. Idle hands, devil's playground. Yeah, and you have in Michigan and all kinds of other places, you have landlords being given subsidies to rent to illegal immigrants.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Right. and all kinds of other places, you have landlords being given subsidies to rent to illegal immigrants. And it's like, if I was trying to rent an apartment in New York and these people who just got there, who just like crossed the border and got off the plane or the bus or whatever with their free stuff and no identification and whatever else, and they're getting like $500 free from the government.
Starting point is 00:24:40 It's like without having to go through Section 8. Let's jump to this story. This is from the Post Millennial. Him's CEO without having to go through section eight. Let's jump to this story. This is from the post millennial. Him's CEO walks back support for Gaza camp activists after stock loses $210 million. Talk about the wrong side of history, my dude. I love this story because it's a, it's a, it's a, it's two birds with one stone. It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a double whammy. So basically he said where's
Starting point is 00:25:05 a stupid quote he goes on to say like i didn't mean to support the the the violence or anything i'm talking about peaceful protesters so this is a guy from what is it called his and hers or whatever yeah this is like the online wellness company so he puts out a post saying like if you are protesting we'll hire you because you know we believe in it and then their stock starts tanking right my dude he only made it worse moral courage is this is this is this is his post he said moral courage is greater than a college degree if you're currently protesting against the genocide of the palestinian people and for your university's divestment from israel keep going it's working there are plenty of companies companies and CEOs eager to hire you regardless of university discipline.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Apply here. That's a lie. You want to know why they lost $210 million in stock? The first reason is, I'll pause. I'll put a hold in that one and I'll come back
Starting point is 00:25:58 to the number one reason. The number two reason why they lost stock is because he's supporting these violent protesters who in Portland just admitted to torching 15 vehicles, threatened to torch more. And people are like, dude, you're supporting violence. And so he tries to walk that back. But it's actually really simple
Starting point is 00:26:15 why he lost $210 million. Okay, I'll break it down for you. When you say moral courage is more important than a college degree. Imagine a business that says, we here at Jim's Auto Mechanics don't care if you know how to fix a car. We care if you don't like Israel. That's correct. It's like, I'm not going to get my car fixed by a guy who doesn't know what he's doing, but hates Israel. That makes no sense. Hims hires people. This is his admission. There's a strong possibility. He's done this in the past. He's intending to do it in the future, and he tried to do it just now. They hire people who have no idea what they're doing
Starting point is 00:26:46 simply because they hate Israel. Okay, that does not a good company make, all right? I'm not going to go to a baker. I'm not going to go to a baker who has no experience baking but hates Israel. That just makes no sense. Look, I think his shareholders should thank him. At least he said it out loud. We're hiring people who aren't qualified and only screening them for politics. There are a ton of companies, I'm looking at you, Airbnb, who are probably doing this because it aligns
Starting point is 00:27:10 with their politics, but it doesn't actually, but they're just pretending they're not doing it, you know? They're not addressing it. They saw him make the misstep and they're like, well, we'll just do it
Starting point is 00:27:18 and not tell anyone. At least this guy's being honest. Well, even him to say moral courage, people have different morals. So what if your morals are shitty, you know? So it doesn't even make sense. Yeah, what is moral courage?
Starting point is 00:27:30 Like, obviously, he's basically saying agreeing with me ideologically is more important than a college degree. Because I got to tell you, if like the morals a person ascribed to were fascistic or white supremacist, he would not hire them. And like a guy coming out and being like, do you know how hard it is to espouse my views? He's gonna like beat up in the streets. It's like, you're gonna hire that guy? No. Well, and he's not hiring Nick Sandman,
Starting point is 00:27:55 the kid who got screamed at at that pro-life protest, right? Like no Christians can moral courage, just this moral courage. That's an interesting thing too, is you see like these college kids out there with their crop tops getting down into the the prayer pose for islam and they're like praying to allah and you're like if if you saw a bunch of christian kids out there praying on campus they would be roundly mocked and vilified but if you're
Starting point is 00:28:17 out there in crop tops showing off your body praying to allah like somehow that's that's some kind of moral superiority they don't even believe in it. Right. I also assumed it would be in some ways offensive to people who are practicing Muslims. Like I know when I was in Turkey and visited a mosque, like you have to be covered. That's part of like to them showing respect to their culture and religion.
Starting point is 00:28:38 You can't have a crop top. At least from what I remember, you're not even allowed to show your elbows. You have to cover all the way down to your ankles. Like if that's how the standard they hold for themselves, why is it okay for the privileged college students to get around it? In an earlier segment, I broke this down as it pertains to college degrees. But for IRL audience members who have not heard that, I will explain to you.
Starting point is 00:29:00 If a person comes to me and says, I'd like a job video editing. My qualifications are a college degree. I'd say, OK. Another person comes to me and says, I'd like a job. My qualifications are for the past four years. I have run my own channel editing videos. Here they are. I go, interesting.
Starting point is 00:29:16 And then a third person comes to me and says, I would like a job video editing. My qualifications are I hate Israel. I'd say, well, I need a video editor, not an activist. So you are just your resume goes right in the trash. And then between the college degree in the world, the real world experience. Yeah, I'm going to go with the person who's got a portfolio has been working for four years, not someone in college. So don't make that mistake. I see that super chat already. I'm not saying college degrees are skill, but certainly I understand that a person who went to college for video editing probably knows how to edit videos. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:48 They just have a harder time competing with someone who's been working in the real world for four years. Absolutely. Now, if you were to compare a college degree with someone who has no degree but just hates Israel, what is wrong with you? You can't hire that person. That makes literally no sense. And there are plenty of ambitious college students who know what they want to do. They get the degree, and they also develop a really nice portfolio work on the side like it's it's the being able to say here are the here is what i can produce here's the deliverable product that is aligned with what you're looking for uh but you know for for all all of this i feel like what hymns is also communicating is like
Starting point is 00:30:17 we actually don't care if you have any tangential related skill we prefer to know that we are hiring people who are involved in this and that seems seems crazy to me. How is your business going to run? I also think people just, you can, anyone can give themselves the term activist. I'm an activist. You don't need a degree. You don't need a job. You're just like, I'm an activist. An activist of what?
Starting point is 00:30:35 You can just put that in your bio and then that makes you sound more important. I'd like to work for your company. What's your qualifications? I'm morally courageous. What morals? I'm not saying, but I am. Hire me. Well, but I think this guy figured out that it wasn't, in fact, that great for his business.
Starting point is 00:30:50 And that's why he had to walk it out, walk it back, and show that he had absolutely no moral courage by any standards at all. He didn't stand for what he said he believed in. He was going to say. It's apparently still dropping. I don't know. Like the stock is still going out after hours trading and stuff like that. I mean, if you really believe in it, he shouldn't have walked it back. You know, he also should have learned the Bud Light lesson.
Starting point is 00:31:11 Do you know what I mean? No, he's more important than that. He walked it back saying, like, I don't support violence, anti-Semitism or intimidation. I just mean like the peaceful protesters. I just mean like the good part, y'all. Yeah. Yeah. Blowing up of cars and all of that.
Starting point is 00:31:24 That's so peaceful. But I mean, if we're talking about just the Columbia protesters, you mean like the telling Jewish students on some occasions that they can't enter the property or like the tearing down of barricades and fighting with police. I mean, come on, dude. These people are all standing arm in arm with each other. They protect each other. They call it a diversity of tactics.
Starting point is 00:31:44 Their slogan is respect the diversity of tactics. That means if you disagree with someone's violence, you have to still support them in doing it because we all wanted. That's what they call it. Diversity of tactics. One group gets violent. And what would happen is you'd have people, these protests like Occupy Wall Street, for example, and the subsequent protests surrounding them.
Starting point is 00:32:04 And they say, hey, guys, stop fighting with cops. You're not helping. And then they would all go, respect the diversity of tactics. That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. Imagine you have like a general, it's like a war front. And he's like, if we go to the West, we'll be outflanked and destroyed. So we have to go North through the forest and then cut West and then South to flank our enemy. And then someone goes, I know. How about we all do random things called and then we'll have a diversity of tactics and strategy.
Starting point is 00:32:31 They're going to be like, we'll lose in two seconds. We need to focus our forces on a plan. Well, you're not respecting their feelings. They're not feeling encouraged or supported. The real reason for the quote unquote diversity of tactics is so that people who don't agree with violence are convinced to support violence because the real tactics and strategies of those who are organizing these things is to be violent. And then when new newbie activists show up and they're like, I don't know about fighting
Starting point is 00:32:56 with cops like, well, you shouldn't. And that's cool. We respect you. But you have to respect the diversity of tactics because not everybody does the same thing. Right. Right. So we're going to need you to help us build this uh thing right here these people would go to these meetings where they're like we're here to have a meeting and what they're doing at the meetings
Starting point is 00:33:10 they're making weapons they're making shields they're making they're making clubs too they're they're they're learning self-defense like ucla at their gaza camp they had a a time period where they were teaching each other self-defense using sticks and making shields out of garbage cans. They were destroying that kind of stuff. And meanwhile, what I think is so crazy is they don't know what they're demanding. They say, you know, divest, but they don't really know even what that means. And instead, they're just they're saying, you know, meet with students, grant us amnesty.
Starting point is 00:33:43 These people are sad that they cannot buy homes and have jobs. That's what's happening here. But they don't know that they're sad about that. They don't realize that. But that's what's happening. They don't have real jobs. But this is what the Democrats have fomented. And it's unfortunate.
Starting point is 00:33:57 But this is the reality. And so the challenge then is you have these people who are ripped from the timeline effectively of like what a human is supposed to do. Yeah. You're supposed to work from a young age. This is really, really funny. There was that the Republican who said, you know, we want to get young people jobs. And he was talking about 17 year olds. And I tweeted, ironically, that's what we need. Kids need jobs. Let's go. And the left takes it absolutely seriously. Like I'm saying, five year old should be in the mines. And I'm like, well, if you're seven, maybe you help with the dishes or something. If you're 10, now you're helping with the yard work. You're 13, you're mowing the lawn or whatever age makes
Starting point is 00:34:33 sense. I think I was mowing the lawn when I was like 10. Like, yeah, you're supposed to do work. You're supposed to, there's supposed to be some job you do. Back in the day when, when we were small family oriented communities and your dad was like a farmer, the kids worked. The kid would go and they'd be like, hey, go feed the chickens. Well, I mean, how can these people work when they're afraid of the air? Well, the issue is that they've never worked at all. So they go to school until they're 24. That's like –
Starting point is 00:35:02 It is a while. Your development never happened. okay so so like a kid is developing and learning how to survive in the world but these college students are isolated in institutionalized learning facility bubbles where they learn nothing they have no idea how to survive and now they're angry and they're just smashing things yeah let me let me tell you a quick story you guys you guys ever hear about that woman who was raised by wolves sure there's like a bunch of instances they found a woman who like a woman they found like an 11 year old girl that was super long hair and filthy and living in the wilderness
Starting point is 00:35:35 to some degree or something like that they i should say there's numerous stories of this i think the more recent story is there's a couple examples remember that young girl who escaped the family house and she talked really weird so there there was one woman, a young girl was kept in the basement by her family or whatever, never learned to speak. They could not teach her to speak. But by the time she was like 18, she could only say single words like hungry and that you couldn't have a conversation with her because the neural pathways never formed for that kind of social interaction. These people who are in universities, I don't see how you course correct and say, here's how you survive. Here's how you work.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Here's how you work. Here's how you make money. Here's how you produce value. Here's how you get food. The end result, of course, is they're going to be low IQ individuals who are not wired to survive properly because they were placed in these boxes by this system of predatory loans, just churning them in and out. And now they're confused, angry and purposeless. And this is what you get. I think the desire for purpose is one of the
Starting point is 00:36:37 biggest issues facing all of these people. I think it faces a lot of Americans on both sides of the political spectrum and a lot of age groups. But, groups. But to go back to your example of chores, kids at a young age feel gratified by completing small tasks, right? They want to help, they're curious, they're looking for it. And if you are basically never giving them the chance to practice that,
Starting point is 00:36:55 like I do something, I accomplish something, I feel good about myself, I develop the discipline to continue to take on more and more complex tasks, then of course they reach the end of these expensive degrees and are looking at themselves like, but what am I supposed to do now?
Starting point is 00:37:09 I thought I was supposed to just hang out and get to say what I wanted to and sort of live off mom and dad for the rest of my life. Like it's such a, I don't feel a lot of sympathy for any of these people because you could always have chosen a different way to live. But I do think that it's this overbearing sense of purposelessness that drives people into these
Starting point is 00:37:29 causes because they think this is where i'll feel like i'm needed and i get something i'm validated i'm accomplishing something like yeah it is that sense of community but i do feel bad for them in the sense that it is hard to get a job you need to have like all these years of experience. It's not, we were kind of sold this lie that you go to college and then you graduate and then you'll be able to get a really good job and then you'll be able to buy a house and you'll be able to afford to live. And most of these people can't even afford
Starting point is 00:37:56 like their own apartment. Like a lot of people have roommates or you're just not able to get a job. But I can respect the Gen Zers who are like, wow, I'm voting for Trump. Can't afford to get an apartment. But I can respect the Gen Zers who are like, wow, I'm voting for Trump. Can't afford to get an apartment. Can't afford to find work. College was a scam.
Starting point is 00:38:10 And now I realize what's happening with the illegal immigrants. They're waking up. And I think that it's through conversations like this, your show that people are finding that people can wake up. Because I think a lot of these people who are so involved in this activism,
Starting point is 00:38:25 maybe they haven't even encountered a show like this or they haven't even been able to hear outside opinions because they're in an echo chamber that's like, just make this poster, come to this event. You know, you will have community and group. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:37 It's about compliance to like the overarching thematic mantra. What do these college kids who aren't understanding, like what do they think life is supposed to be like? Honest question. You know, they're like, okay, I'm 22. I'm going to graduate with my bachelor's or whatever, and then I'm going to try and find a job. What do they think life is supposed to be like?
Starting point is 00:38:55 They've been promised a utopia. But what does it mean? Does it mean that a company says you're hired and they hang out playing video games all day and they gossip with their friends? I was watching this viral tiktok from some woman she's uh in her late 20s and she was talking about what gen z does in the workplace and she was like gen z will in the middle of a meeting start talking about gossip and trending topics on tiktok and then we have to be like can you please stop and they don't realize what they're doing. They use words that are specific to internet communities that don't exist in the mainstream or in the public.
Starting point is 00:39:31 And people are just like, what are you saying? What are these words? And why are you saying them? They've been taught that they should be able to be themselves at work. And anyone who's had a job knows that's not true. They're acting like internet characters in person, in business meetings. And they're acting like real life is the internet in that. I think the trending topics thing is really interesting.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Gen Z kids who graduate college and get these entry level jobs will be in the middle of a meeting. And then they'll be like, did you hear about what's going on at the Met? Did you hear about the dress that Zendaya was wearing? And they're like, we're going over sales reports right now. Like, why is this? Well, because when you live your whole life on TikTok and everything's a split second, fast, fast, fast move, next subject, next subject, they're starting to imitate that in real life. Well, I mean, it kind of makes sense.
Starting point is 00:40:16 You have to think about what happened four years ago and everybody was like locked down in their homes and people were not allowed to say certain things. Even now there's certain things you can't speak about. And so you're kind of being dictated by the algorithm, you know, and it takes there are a few brave people that are speaking out against it. But it's kind of hard when it's all the algorithm kind of tells people what to think and do. And it's like, oh, how much of what you're posting online is what you actually want to post?
Starting point is 00:40:42 Or, you know, oh, if I post this picture in a certain way way this is going to get likes and that's going to give me this validation and at the end of the day people want to feel validated in some way and they're not getting paid enough at work to be able to have a real life i think they're kind of stuck on the internet they can have economic frustrations i think we can talk about how difficult the economy is we can talk about that like this false promise of the bachelor's degree will set you up to immediately be part of a successful middle class lifestyle. But I think for me, ultimately, what I would love to ask any of these people, especially college graduates, at more liberal institutions, is what are your goals? Like, what are your ambitions? Because so many of them are like,
Starting point is 00:41:22 well, I don't want to have kids. I don't want to have traditional life. I don't want to be like my parents. Like what are you hoping to achieve? When you get this degree, when you go out into the workforce, when you start developing a life as adult, what are you after? Because I think without some kind of like small,
Starting point is 00:41:39 not having a family small, but having personal ambition, you get lost. You seek your identity in these big causes that you ultimately don't really have any connection to. I think that's it. You watch these videos of these people who graduated and they, and what they're actually saying, many of them, not all of them, but many of them is that I was told to go to school. I was told to get a degree. I did. I'm done. Now what? That's what the, what they're really saying is I did everything I was told to
Starting point is 00:42:02 do. And I'm sitting here wondering what's next. And I have no idea. I watched this video today of a girl, uh, you know, she, I think she said she was like 31 or 32 and she was saying like, you know, I don't, I don't want to, I don't care about relationships because I was in this long one and it didn't work out. And you know, I don't want to have kids, so I don't want to get married. And I, you know, I don't, I'm earning all this money and I can spend it on myself. So none of this matters to me. And I don't actually care about being alone. Like, first off, why did you go on the internet and justify your lifestyle choices?
Starting point is 00:42:28 But okay. And on top of that, like, so your whole existence revolves around indulging the self, you know, okay, but how are you going to do that? Like, are you, do you find fulfillment through like volunteering with your community? No, she just seems to only live in like a materialist world. And I think that falls apart.
Starting point is 00:42:44 If people don't, I don't think people live in like a materialist world. And I think that falls apart. If people don't, I don't think people find that a fulfilling way to live. I feel like I, in some ways, I do kind of relate to these students. I mean, I did go to university. I went to Washington State University. My degree is in broadcast journalism with minor political science. When I graduated, I first moved down to San Diego. I applied for 33 jobs and I could not get hired. And you have to imagine this is like 13 years ago.
Starting point is 00:43:04 And the world wasn't as accepting as it is today. So I really, truly believe that because I have a disability, I'm four foot six, 75 pounds of spina bifida. I felt like the workforce people looked down on me in that way. So I couldn't get hired. So then I became a stand up comedian to where I could speak, finally speak about it, right? And that gave me a lot of confidence and courage to kind of find this like purpose. And now here we are eight years later and the world has changed so much that it's like, it's been kind of an interesting thing for me to see people in their bios talk about like having a disability or having like a mental illness. And now the world's gone from, you know, being not accepting at all
Starting point is 00:43:48 than to being overly accepting. And I think people want to be victims. You know, you want this like, I'm a victim, but we have to have a way for people to pivot out of that. And, you know, it's still be an individual but the way to do it is by focusing on your own life not on these activisms for a country that's we need to focus on what's happening here in america what's happening at home at your own with your own self but that's the thing when you get out of college and you don't have a plan you don't think about life like
Starting point is 00:44:23 you go back 100 200 years we always talk about this because it's the modern industrialized world. And then the information world that has caused this, but everybody knew what their grandparents did. They they're, they're watching their parents. They're watching their grandparents. And they're thinking like, I know what I'm going to do. And when I'm this old, got to have a family, everyone's having families. Okay. Then I got to, I'm going to buy a house. Then we're going to move in. I'm going to find a good job. Then the kids are going to go to school. And that's the plan. But the left openly despises all of that. There's that video where the guy's like, I'm going to work. Then I'm working out. Then I'm coming home. And they're like,
Starting point is 00:44:53 I'm so disturbed and shocked. They graduate college. And then after that, they think life is going to be, and now I sit in my room, wake up at noon, smoke pot, masturbate, and go back to bed. They think that's life. And they also think that you've seen the videos too, where somebody just gets an entry-level job and they're horrified that they have to do entry-level things at their entry-level job because they think that they should really be so much more qualified that they get a management position. You know, when I took a year off from college and I think I worked like seven jobs that year and I started out that year, like looking for a good job. And I ended up working at fast food.
Starting point is 00:45:29 And then I worked at a series of like, there was like fast food. There was a record store. There was a bookstore. There was a hat shop. I just took whatever job I could get. And after college, I took whatever job I could get.
Starting point is 00:45:40 I was making like my first real job out of college in my field. I was making $16,000 a year. You know what I mean? Like I was making like my first real job out of college in my field. I was making $16,000 a year. You know what I mean? Like I couldn't afford anything either. But the question I have for these Gen Z people who in the workplace are adopting internet personalities and bringing those in, is the workplace going to manage to mold these Gen Zers into reasonable people in society? Or is Gen Z going to mold the workplace so that we all have to fit in with that? Yeah, that's because they're going to get older. They're going to take over these
Starting point is 00:46:10 companies. Well, to be fair, maybe not. Maybe they collapse some of the a lot of these companies because they hymns. Yeah, like this is a guy who is he's he's an activist first merit, emeritus worker second. And so you see people like this. As you shift more and more into this activist ideological realm based on social media trends, you're going to get CEOs, and we've seen with Bud Light, millennials,
Starting point is 00:46:34 like when activists, millennials, and then activists, Gen Z, because a lot of Gen Z is getting more based, move into these companies, and they're going to be sitting down saying, it doesn't matter if you're factually right. It matters if you're morally right. And the other person's going to be sitting down saying, it doesn't matter if you're factually right. It matters if you're morally right. And the other person is going to be like, yeah, moral courage is more important than a college degree.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Then it's going to be a sock company and they're going to make products that are just weird twisted balls of yarn that don't do anything. And they're going to be like, yeah, but it's the feeling and the ideas behind it. And they don't advise it. And they give free ones to the homeless yeah i was gonna say you do see a rise in these retail companies that are like if you buy one of our products we'll we'll donate whatever this project is to whoever needs it there's bombas does that destroying the world you know you know tom's like destroyed the economies economies in africa right yeah so there were so tom's shoes that for every pair of shoes you buy we will give a pair to someone in need or whatever.
Starting point is 00:47:27 So correct me if I'm wrong. It's been a long time since we've talked about this. But basically what happens is they start giving free shoes away. And then the cobblers in these villages are out of work instantly. And now they have no jobs and they can't buy anything. So then the farmer is like, how come I'm not selling as much as I used to? Well, it's because the cobbler can't send any money because everyone's got free shoes. So then the bread maker starts struggling because he's like, now I've lost a couple of my big customers or, you know, a couple of people that have made food for.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Now I'm not getting the money I need for the supplies to make the bread. And the economy starts collapsing. Right. Because you're dumping free product into it. That happened with all of the Goodwill stuff that was going to Africa as well. It would like show up on the, I think, like the West Coast of Africa and like all of these old t-shirts. And so what started happening was the people that made clothes,
Starting point is 00:48:10 the local tailors and stuff, all stopped making clothes because there was all this free clothes. And now if you look too, like then what started happening is people who do make clothes, they started making clothes out of old t-shirts instead of clothes out of like fabric
Starting point is 00:48:24 that was being made locally, you know, in the communities. It's really a shame that we've done that. And we've done that because we are compassionate. And our compassion is totally a weapon that we use to destroy ourselves, our nation, other nations. You know, the best way to be compassionate is to allow people their dignity. Right. And it's used against us, right? All of these companies adopt this, if you buy from us, we're doing something good and
Starting point is 00:48:51 whatever to make you buy the product, especially people who are sort of like activists, progressive minded. They'll say, oh, well, maybe I wouldn't have bought this product, but I'm definitely going to buy it because it's justified. It's making activism a reason to sell. I don't think it's actually genuinely thinking through like, how can we best serve these communities? Maybe a couple of the companies are, I don't want to generalize too intensely. But again, it speaks to how this overarching idea of like signaling that you are an activist who cares about the right causes
Starting point is 00:49:19 is becoming so interwoven into every aspect of our lives that of course Gen Z college kids can't get away from it and think this is their big ticket into a successful life. I think the activism is an escapism from your own life and maybe your own failures. So if you can kind of, you know, go to this protest, you don't have to like look at the fact that... You're failing out. You're failing is...
Starting point is 00:49:43 You're like, they don't have to go to class. You know, they're like, I could just go to this protest. What young people don't understand is that you don't need a job to make money. You need to find a way to trade with people to get things of value. I love that story because there's a story about a guy
Starting point is 00:49:59 who traded a paperclip for a house. And there's actually a bunch of stories that it's been replicated over and over again. It's this thing that people do to track and make a game of it. They start with a paperclip and they go door to door and say, I've got a paperclip
Starting point is 00:50:12 that I'd like to trade for something. And then the guy trades the paperclip for like post-it notes. Then he trades the post-it notes for a pack of pens. Then he trades the pack of pens for like a notebook. Then he trades the notebook
Starting point is 00:50:23 for like a broken bicycle. Then he trades the notebook for like a broken bicycle. Then he trades the broken bicycle for a broken lawnmower. And then eventually he ends up trading for an actual house, a broken down, you know, cruddy house, but a house nonetheless. And the point was like trade is basically, it's like arbitrage. It's putting things where they need to be and taking things from people where they don't need and sending it to someone who does need it. Young people don't get this.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Well, it's because they've been sold this lie. Like you go to school and then you get out and you'll be able to just get a job right away. When I first graduated, I felt like my first years in the real world, I called it my freshman year of the real world. And now I'm in my sophomore year of the real world. And it's totally just not what you think it's going to be. You know, it's really just sold as this. You go to school and then you're going to graduate and you're going
Starting point is 00:51:08 to get a good job that's going to pay you a value. And then you end up working in a nine to five, driving in traffic for an hour and a half and wanting to kill yourself. Yeah. I remember how miserable my first job out of college was. And part of it was, I don't think I had completely determined like what I wanted to be doing. Because like Tim is saying, ultimately, what you're saying to an employer is I have these skills and in exchange for my skills, you give me these monies, but you have to develop skills that you're actually interested in exercising every day. You know, I have a couple of friends who have gotten, you know, like consulting jobs out of college and they burn out, not because they're not talented and able to achieve things, but because ultimately they're
Starting point is 00:51:44 working on projects that they are not very engaged with. And there isn't an amount of money that you could pay them to feel fulfilled to work the crazy hours they're being demanded. and it's not your favorite job, but you enjoy working, you enjoy like working for your living, you enjoy taking home a paycheck, you enjoy paying your own way, then it's worth it. Like it doesn't matter what the job is. If you do it well and you're satisfied with your income and it's good working conditions,
Starting point is 00:52:16 then that's worth your time. Definitely. Let's jump to this next story. We got this from The Independent. Leaked audio reveals Trump discussing his vice presidential picks. The former president surprisingly did not mention some major contenders like Vivek Ramaswamy. Independent reports new audio recorded at private lunch reveals Donald Trump's thoughts about his
Starting point is 00:52:35 potential picks for a running mate in 2024 election. The audio obtained by Axios was recorded during Mr. Trump's high profile GOP event at his Mar-a-Lago resort, Florida on Saturday. Hey, I was there. Attendees included major Republican donors and many contenders for vice president. Mr. Trump's top picks for our running mate include several senators, representatives, governors and former presidential candidates. However, other expected contenders for Mr. Trump's running mate weren't discussed at all, according to Axios, entrepreneur and former 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was not mentioned, according to the Axios report, despite attending the event.
Starting point is 00:53:05 Take a look at this. What do we got here? Do they mention who's in that list? No, they don't. The governor. So they say Kristi Noem, governor of South Dakota, got a shout out at the lunch. According to leaked audio, that comes as no surprise. Somebody that I love, Mr. Trump said of Ms. Noem, she's been with me, a supporter of mine, and I've been a supporter of hers for a long time.
Starting point is 00:53:23 The governor is a longtime ally of Mr. Trump, blah, blah, blah, blah. So here's this photo. Okay, well, look, there's Blagojevich. Everybody remembers him, right? And I think that's Byron Donalds and Mike Johnson's there. And Burgum was there. We got Vivek right behind Trump. Vance is in that picture.
Starting point is 00:53:40 I see Vance back there. Yeah, J.D. Vance is there. So actually, while this is going on, I had no idea. And I was sitting at the pool at Mar-a-Lago. And I had an Arnold Palmer. And I was going swimming. And I was watching Cody Dennison race, ARCA racing, NASCAR, on Fox Sports 1. And I had no idea that literally just like on the other side of the building,
Starting point is 00:54:00 Trump and everybody's hanging out. So what ended up happening is I get a message like, hey, did you see the president? And I was like, ah, I knew he was coming down to Florida. So he was here, but I didn't realize they were doing something like this. So I was with Luke Rutkowski and my girlfriend. And I was like, I don't have a suit or anything. Cause they won't like, you have to, after five, you have to wear a jacket and a suit and whatever. And then I was like, should we go get clothes? And I was like, I guess like, what are we doing? You know, I got to meet Trump. It was great. And I got to talk to a lot of people at this second half of the fundraiser.
Starting point is 00:54:27 So I will tell you this, as I'm walking and I saw Burgum and then I see Blagojevich and I was like, oh man, I'm from Chicago. So I know all about it. I wanted to say something. Saw Mike Johnson sitting in a room talking with somebody. And at the fundraiser, there were conversations being had. And so I will just say this.
Starting point is 00:54:43 If Donald Trump chooses Marco Rubio as his vice president, I believe he wins the 2024 race. I think Rubio is a good choice as well. I'm not saying he's a good choice. Yeah, I'm saying that choice to win the election. I'm saying that for reasons unrelated to the election, completely outside of whether anyone likes Rubio or not. If Donald Trump picks Marco Rubio as VP, it means he is going to win the election. Why do you think so? Because it implies Donald Trump cut a deal with establishment forces, which includes Democrats. And they're basically saying, okay, you bring Rubio in, you work with Mike Johnson, we get our wars, we get all this, then you're president.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Yeah, the issue with that is it sets him up for 2028 to go into the White House himself. Rubio? Yeah. Yeah. So I think that's why people so many people are backing Vance right now. They'd like to see Vance be the next. I mean, I think this is what a Trump presidency means for the Republican Party, who is going to be the heir apparent to this legacy that he's built.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Vance doesn't give him anything, though, in the election. The rumor is among high profile Trump affiliated people, Rubio is already the choice. That's what I've been hearing behind the scenes myself. Yes. I hear different rumors all the time. It seems like it would be an effective choice. And the vice president doesn't actually do anything.
Starting point is 00:56:00 So not that anybody who was talking to me said, hey, don't repeat this, but but basically the war that was going around and the war that's been going around, especially with people who have come on this show before and people that I know, it's he's already picked Rubio. And I'm like, OK, that's not true. Like, I don't know for a fact that's the case. It's a rumor. People are claiming that Trump already picked Rubio. And what they're arguing is that Rubio is basically cutting backroom deals. I shouldn't call it backroom deals. He's cutting deals for funding with big DeSantis donors.
Starting point is 00:56:35 DeSantis, of course, coming out saying he's going to back Trump. I think that's what happened, right? Did DeSantis endorse Trump? He said that he was going to go out on the campaign trial, I'm pretty sure. Right. Yeah. And he did before say, like, of course, I'll back the nominee. And now you've got people who back DeSantis are backing Trump. The rumor is Rubio is basically pulling all these forces
Starting point is 00:56:53 together. Trump said you'll be the VP if that is true. This is why I'm saying I don't know that it's true. It's just people muttering behind the scenes. That's why I'm like, if we get an announcement that Rubio is the choice, Trump's winning. Unrelated to the election, like there's a deal, there's deals in place with the establishment. The thing too, though, is like, I've heard, I've heard back, you know, stories about Rubio as well, that he's probably going to be the choice or that he's like, definitely in the lead. We've been talking about that. But the, the other thing too, is people who don't like it, who are definitely like hardcore MAGA populist side, they're looking for a kind of purity in
Starting point is 00:57:29 politics that doesn't exist. And it's really a mistake to start believing that politics has a purity. And that's what people did with Obama. That's how they essentially deified Obama. And that didn't do anything good for the country. It didn't do anything good for the presidency. You always have to remember that deals are important. That's why when they pushed McCarthy out, the first thing I thought was McCarthy knows how to play ball. He knows how to make these deals. He's not swayed the way Mike Johnson, for example, is swayed. It was much harder to push McCarthy around because he's a guy who's making deals. They brought Mike Johnson into the secure... Into the skiff.
Starting point is 00:58:02 Into the skiff. They impressed him. They impressed him with his own importance. They impressed him with an aluminum baseball bat being banged on the floor. And then he walked out and said, wow, what a meeting. I get it now. That's not McCarthy's...
Starting point is 00:58:14 McCarthy loved that job, right? All McCarthy ever wanted to do was be speaker. He loved it. And so he was good at it. And he was playing both sides against everybody. I think with the Israel stuff, there is a strong possibility that Trump has already met with establishment groups and donors effectively cutting a deal with the deep state that they'll get their Israel support. He's the most pro Israel candidate there is. And if they go with Biden, they're screwed. And so this is if you can call it deep state surrender, perhaps.
Starting point is 00:58:44 I think it's probably more of a negotiation to compromise in business where Trump's like, look, we're going to get what we want. We want domestic policy. I'm going to fulfill my promises. But you'll get your your Israel support. You'll get your you'll get your Ukraine war. And this gives Trump's this gives Trump plausible deniability when he inherits Biden's Ukraine war. He will call it that the whole time. I just think it's it's so sad how I like our vote doesn't really seem to matter at all. I think part of it is I think it does. I think the vote does matter. I think you have to participate anyways. You can't say the election's not working if you
Starting point is 00:59:16 also didn't participate like that doesn't that's not how this works. I will say I think a lot of our perspectives on all of this is warped by the media's presentation, like even in this Daily Mail article, and it's a British publication, they're saying, well, top contenders were left off the list, like Vivek's Ramaswamy. But we just know Vivek is, you know, who has been really interesting. He had a very explosive influence on the Republican primary process. You know, he's an internet favorite. We don't actually know that he was ever on any list for Trump, even though he is potentially someone people would like to see more involved with the Republican Party. So, of course, Rubio's been
Starting point is 00:59:49 around for a lot longer. He has more of an establishment feel. I think that there's, you know, every chance in the world that he is a potential VP pick. But I just don't think we can know officially until we hear something from Trump himself. Because I remember, you know, it was after South Carolina, I can't remember, there was a night that Trump was on the campaign trail and Burgum had spoken at one of his rallies. And Trump was like, oh, we all know who the VP is going to be. And immediately the next day, everyone was like, oh, it's Burgum. Like every once in a while, Trump gives us this hint and people are like, ha ha, I know. But, you know, you don't know
Starting point is 01:00:22 until Donald Trump has spoken. The rumor among many people at this event was these were tryouts that the reason all these people were there is that they were his top picks for who his VP might be. And he was basically holding trout. So to see the independent then come out later and be like Trump openly discussing potential VP picks, I will say it's getting late. It's like I think that it behooves him to keep the VP thing longer because i think we've talked about this before like the longer he has lots of potential vps the more acolytes he can send out to campaign on his behalf he is still making it to campaign events basically on wednesday when his trial in new york isn't happening but again it's better for him for all of us to be wondering and
Starting point is 01:01:00 want to see what everyone says i mean i saw a clip of tim scott being interviewed this weekend people occasionally throw tim scott around as a potential you know christy gnome was out there christy gnome was out there she's she's having a rough time she's having her her weird moment yeah she's i don't know how her tryouts are going is all i'm gonna say but you know but she has no way she's gone well i think the only mistake she made was well she killed a puppy which is kim jong-un thing which is fine but she should have ate it afterwards and then i could have respected it as a you know asian i do eat dogs so if she would have killed it and then ate it i'd been like hey i'm for that i mean the argument then would have beat would be like it was a farm animal that we ate you're all yeah that's right you're
Starting point is 01:01:39 offensive for criticizing my decision to eat an animal but uh the argument was that that it was killing chickens and had bit people. And so she had to put it down. Yeah, see, I can't get down with that. If she would have killed and ate it, then we'd be like all for her. Look, I'm going to tell you, I now want to read her book. I feel like I have to know what happened
Starting point is 01:01:55 because there's also like other stories that are coming out that like she's saying all kinds of stuff. She has been incredibly devoted to Trump for a long time. And I think this is also where the VP race becomes interesting. Because, again, like I said, more than anything, I think people feel like the VP is going to be who Trump taps as his heir apparent to the MAGA movement, because he can't run again. If he wins, this is it, which is also interesting. But I think that there are, it's tricky because he is sort of on trial still um are you
Starting point is 01:02:28 guys hearing a weird thing yeah someone's cell phone or something i'll take mine off the table and say that it's gone oh good i'm interrupting myself with my own cell phone yeah um but i i wonder um if Trump will announce, like, I think he will drag this out for as long as possible, right? There are tons of people that could still maybe last minute come on stage. Trump takes one meeting over there.
Starting point is 01:02:54 If this one guy gives a good interview in his favor and then he's seen at Mar-a-Lago, like the drama of the VP adds a level to this presidency that, you know, other campaigns just don't have. I think he should make me his vice president because I'm a landslide Lila. And if he made me his vice president, we would win. That's just. Well, what's your platform?
Starting point is 01:03:14 What's your big issue? My big issue is just being awesome. So just vote for me. Oh, that's a winning ticket. Yeah, exactly. That's like Melania's be best thing. Yes. That was her first lady initiative.
Starting point is 01:03:25 To be honest, what works in politics is simplicity because you want to go for the lowest common denominator. So coming out, you know, you make a campaign ad. This is why they don't do it. You make a campaign ad where it's like Donald Trump argued for a budget increase of 17 percent targeting border crossings with CBP and ICE working. And people are like, huh? And then but if you make a video where it's like Trump says build a. And people are like, huh? And then if, but if you make a video where it's like,
Starting point is 01:03:46 Trump says build a wall, everyone's like, well, okay, I get that. I understand this. I totally understand what you're doing. My slogan would be, I may be small, but I can make a big difference.
Starting point is 01:03:54 I love it. Yeah, that's great. People would remember that. I think that they're- That's like beauty pageant level stuff. Well, she gave her beauty pageant smile right after she's ready. That's the one.
Starting point is 01:04:03 Do you guys think, I don't want to believe it will be Rubio because like when i first heard the rumor i was like oh that's it it's over like the dream has come to an end if he picks rubio it's basically like maga is done oh you have to remember that politics is politics i mean it's it's not politics does not have a greater meaning politics is not something to sink your purpose in life into. You know, it's a bunch of people vying for power. Some of them have some decent ideas. Sometimes something good happens.
Starting point is 01:04:31 But mostly, it's a bunch of people vying for power. And I think MAGA is great, but we should change it to MABA, which is Make All Buildings Accessible. Oh, yeah. Interesting. You really are campaigning BVP over there. Yes, I am. I am.
Starting point is 01:05:10 Look, I even have my campaign shirt. See? Oh, yeah. You know, seeing Trump at Mar-a-Lago, and it's not even so much about Trump. It's about all the people that's passed through our studio rooms from, you know, the smallest personality to the biggest. There are people who live in this world where they live in a class system of their own mind. And, you know, like seeing Trump at Mar-a-Lago and the way people behave around him, it's just like, dignify yourselves, gentlemen, please. Like Trump is a guy. He's a billionaire. He's a former president. There's a lot of things that he is. But ask yourselves, why are you bothering him?
Starting point is 01:05:38 Like, why would you walk up to him and just try to tell him your life story? I don't get this. And it's not just of him. Yeah. But this is what people do. You see this happen at parties. People do this to you. They approach you and they're like, oh, it's you.
Starting point is 01:05:52 And for me, but for many other people, the idea is like, I must tell you this thing. And everyone's trying to hand him stuff. And everyone's trying. But I'm not just talking about him. I'm talking about like literally everybody. You go to Mar-a-Lago and you see the guy sitting down, eating, eating dinner and walking around and it's no different than literally anybody else. Okay.
Starting point is 01:06:12 And how was, but how was he when he met you? What did he say to you? He just, he just said I had a great face. I love that. Yeah. He said, uh, someone, someone said, you know, Tim's one of the biggest influencers on YouTube and he goes, well, how could he not be with, you know, look at his face. That's what basically what he said. And then he said he of the biggest influencers on YouTube. And he goes, well, how could he not be with, you know, look at his face. That's what basically he said. And then he
Starting point is 01:06:26 said he was the biggest influencer and it was funny. But, but I see someone like Trump and I get it. But what I genuinely don't understand when it comes to any politics and personalities is like, what do you think this person is going to do for you? When you went up to a celebrity, when there's this one really great video, Logan Paul, he's awesome. I'm a big fan. Logan Paul is like backstage at an event. This years ago and some guys like logan man i really want to work for you and he's like i get it i get it you snuck backstage and now you want to yeah okay man like well i don't like you got to do it for yourself you got to work hard and the guy i think is like crying or something and i'm like what is logan going to do for you why why why
Starting point is 01:07:02 are people it's like they live in this this reality of class hierarchy where they put other people on pedestals. And the reason I bring this up is when you work alongside big names, when you're on the phone negotiating interviews, when you're booking celebrities, it's just a bunch of people. No different than literally anything else, but everyone is acting like you will get something. I don't, I just don't really understand. People need to understand that when, when Donald Trump is sitting down in the white house talking about foreign policy, it's the same thing as you and your buddies talking about foreign policy. Granted, they have classified information. I get that. I was talking about with, with like juries and judges with, especially with Trump right now, people think that judges are like these learned, intelligent individuals who are also smart and that they're going to sit in before you and say the two women are fighting for the baby. There must be a fair solution to figure out whose baby really belongs to these women.
Starting point is 01:07:59 Women, we will cut the baby in half and you will each get a half. And then the one woman goes, no, no, my baby. And the other woman goes, good. Aha. Now we have successfully determined who actually is the mother cut the baby in half and you will each get a half. And then the one woman goes, no, no, my baby. And the other woman goes, good. Aha. Now we have successfully determined who actually is the mother of the baby. That's not how judges are. Judges are like the same thing as your next door neighbor. Imagine you and your wife are arguing over, you know, who's going to walk the dog and
Starting point is 01:08:18 you ask your neighbor to figure it out. You're gonna be like, my neighbor doesn't know anything about us or congratulations. Judges don't either. This is literally what it is. So when you're dealing with politics, whether it's Mike Johnson or literally anybody else, imagine your next door neighbor standing in front of an FBI guy who's like, well, we have to arrest these people because they're terrorists. What would your neighbor say?
Starting point is 01:08:38 When you see these people in these videos who are like, but Trump is bad, that's no different than the people working at any of these bureaucracies and in government. You see Donald Trump, he's a smart guy. He's a successful guy, but that's what he is. He's a guy. And he's a guy that everybody thinks is funny and he's charismatic. But it's like people follow around politicians, assuming, and celebrities that, I don't know, by talking to them, you'll get something. Well, you know, it's interesting that you bring up the Logan Paul video, because I saw that video that you're talking about, where the guy sneaks backstage and talks to him.
Starting point is 01:09:10 And my take on it is, I would want to actually hire somebody that is like that, because I'm like, wow, this person is a huge fan of me, follows everything that I do, would probably work their ass off to work for me, just because they've, you know know been such a fan and want really want really want this i would i would not be inclined to hire someone who snuck into an event to try and get a job i'd be inclined to call the police to have them arrested see i think it's kind of badass i'm like you know what sometimes people you have to get in how you can get in no way i
Starting point is 01:09:44 think it's fucking cool. I got to tell you, there's been a lot of places where I was actually told I wasn't invited, couldn't go. And I made my way in and I met somebody and I got connected. And I'll tell you, you know, it all worked out. And now here I am on Tim Pool. After the first $300,000 in security costs, you eventually say no. And you're like, dude, we asked you politely not to do this,
Starting point is 01:10:05 because it like, it destroys what we're doing. And then the idea that, you know, there are people who try to pull this off. We had it, we like we had an event in Miami, and people snuck in. And the security guards were like, there is no scenario where this works out well for you for what you did, you should just go now. And they're like, yeah, okay, I'm sorry. And they leave. Well, you got good security. So that's a good person to keep. When you're dealing with death threats, when you're dealing with bomb threats,
Starting point is 01:10:30 when you're having to evacuate your studio, you're involved. Like it doesn't even matter. Like celebrities have it worse than people in politics do. It's crazy. There's not a reality where it's like, congratulations, you just violated
Starting point is 01:10:42 all of our security protocols. We're gonna lose our insurance now if I hire you. Yeah, it's like, congratulations, you just violated all of our security protocols. We're going to lose our insurance now if I hire you. Yeah, it's not happening. A lot of people don't understand why guns are banned, why the sneaking in doesn't fly. It's because we want to do an event. So we go to a venue, we go to a university, and we say, hey, we'd like to do an event. They say, okay, we'll book you, but you have to have insurance. We say, okay.
Starting point is 01:11:00 The insurance company says, we'll only insure you if you ban guns from the event. And we're like, well, we actually support 2A in the Constitution, constitutional carry. And they're like, well says, we'll only insure you if you ban guns from the event. And we're like, well, we actually are, we support 2A in the constitution and constitutional carry. And they're like, well, then we won't insure you. Have a nice day. We go to security. The venue says you need security as well. Security company says the same thing. We won't allow guns in the event because our guys can't secure it then.
Starting point is 01:11:17 So there's no choice. We want to do an event. We say security company makes the final call. Insurance company makes the final call. If somebody sneaks into an event and we go, that was awesome. We're going to hire you. Insurance company says terminated. We will never work with you again.
Starting point is 01:11:30 We will never have an event after that. Well, I mean, I mean, not like an actual crazy person, but you know. It doesn't matter if they're crazy or not. It matters that an insurance company is not going to insure you if you're like, oh yeah, we let people sneak in. They'll be like, so if someone sneaks in next time. We reward people who sneak in. We reward. They're going to be like, oh, okay. So you're basically encouraging people to violate security and then putting the liability on us. We will like
Starting point is 01:11:51 terminated and insurance is hard to get, especially for big events. Then you go to your venue and say our insurance terminated us because they heard that we had let someone sneak in before. And they'll be like, sorry, your events canceled. So it's just, it's not a reality where you're like, that was really cool that you got us, you got all of our contracts terminated. Third-party contracts, vendor contracts. We lost $100,000 because of what you did. It's just not reality.
Starting point is 01:12:12 I know what you're saying, where sometimes there is a way to put yourself out there and sort of do something to build your network and get a connection. I also get the, if you're sneaking into event, especially someplace that you're like, the person you want to hire has to go out of their way to pay for security. Maybe that's not the move to endear yourself to them. I think that
Starting point is 01:12:29 with all of it, it comes back to this question of a skill, right? Like if I walked up to Tim and was like, Tim, I want a job and he didn't know anything about me, he might be like, that's cool, but I don't have anything to offer you. Whereas if I am saying like, hey, here's my portfolio of work, you mentioned specifically you need whatever it is, it's very different. I think the idea that you could just walk up to someone who you see as having more money or privilege or influence to you, and that they could just solve all your problems is not accurate. No, that's definitely not accurate. I might say to someone like, if they snuck into an event and said, I really want to work for you. And so, look, you know, I've proven that I've got the ability.
Starting point is 01:13:09 I'd say, what do you think I do at this company? That's my first question. Like, what do you think I do here? And they'd be like, well, you're the boss. I'd be like, do you think that I'm in charge of hiring people? Do you think that, like, I manage HR and that stuff? I don't. So even, like, when it comes to hiring, I don't even handle these processes.
Starting point is 01:13:29 Like we've got nearly like, I don't know, 40 to 50 people who work here. So when it comes, you know, a lot of people will hit us up and be like, hey, I've got this really great idea. I'll be like, try and reach out to one of the staff. Maybe you could DM Ian because Ian can like help relay to the right person. But I don't. What do I do? I wake up in the morning. I read news.
Starting point is 01:13:42 I record a morning show. Then I exercise, eat food, and then I start preparing for the nightly show. So that means we have staff that are handling paperwork, that are handling looking up resumes, taking communications. But people live in this world where it's like, I got to tell you, you go up to Trump carrying something, trying to give him something or anything like that, he's going to be like, oh, wow, thank you. And then he's going to walk away and he's going to hand it to his assistant, and then
Starting point is 01:14:04 he's going to forget about whatever it was. And it's just the assistant puts it in a folder and forgets about it. I was at an art gallery opening. This was years and years ago with this artist whose show it was. And he was like a very famous guy in the art world. And someone walks up to him and was like, hey, I just I did this drawing. I really wanted to give it to you. And my friend was like, oh, okay, thanks. And the
Starting point is 01:14:25 guy walks away and he's like, do I have to carry this around for the rest of my life now? Like, what do I do? Remember, remember when he was on a plane, he took a picture of a bottle of water. And it's like, I went to sleep and I woke up and there's this bottle of water here. Like, what is this? I'm responsible for this now. Like, I didn't ask for this. No, that was funny. But I also I get where these people are coming from. Maybe they're like, this is the one time I'm going to meet Trump or the one time I'm going to meet this person that I'm a super big fan of. And I want to give them something as like a show of gratitude. I mean, for me, I'm like, if I had a fan that came up to me and made a drawing and it was like, Lila, I love the work that you do.
Starting point is 01:14:58 I admire your bravery. I drew this picture for you. I'd appreciate that. Or they wanted to give me something. I'd like that. So what if they came up to you and they just started doing their set their comedy set yeah would you like to stand there how big am i as a comedian at this point am i able to take them on tour possibly i don't know
Starting point is 01:15:17 you're you right now they come up to you at a party and because that's that's more of an equivalent right if somebody hands me a drawing that they did i'd be like oh cool someone did a drawing but this guy's a painter he's an artist and somebody hands me a drawing that they did, I'd be like, oh, cool. Someone did a drawing. But this guy's a painter. He's an artist. And someone hands him a piece of art. And he's like, what do I do with that? So you're you.
Starting point is 01:15:32 You're at a party. Someone walks up to you. And they're just like, hey, I wrote these jokes. And they just start jumping into their set. How long do you stand there? People do that all the time. How long do you stand there and listen? I listen for a little bit. And I actually appreciate the fact that they find me funny enough that they would think that
Starting point is 01:15:48 uh i could be a good judge of comedy what if it's 17 people every time you try to do a show that's a good question but i'm not that i'm not at that level yet but what if it is so this is what i'm talking about with like trump and other people it's like it's just it's an impossibility so you know look i'm not gonna i'm not, I'm not going to give the people listening to this, the fake version of reality and people don't want to hear it. A lot of people want to believe in this fictional world where everyone's super nice and they're willing to do everything for you. We get guests here and we get maybe like, what?
Starting point is 01:16:15 I don't know, 15 books per month. And then people are like, did you read my book? And I'm like, no. And they go, oh, you're just being honest about it. I'm like, geez. And I'm like, my friend, I'm not trying to be mean to you, but I've been given 17 books this month. At what point am I able to read a book? You know, I record a morning show. I'm reading news. I'm watching news. I'm watching videos. I'm fact-checking. I'm calling people. And then I'm doing a nightly show. And then on the weekends,
Starting point is 01:16:37 still working, setting up a new show, setting up something or another. This weekend, relaxing in Mar-a-Lago and then having to actually go and schmooze with people, which was, you know, by choice, but still. And I'm just like, you can bring your books and people come here all the time and they bring stuff and it's like it's really great and they're like this is for you this for you i'm like great and then we have a big pile of stuff and yeah i don't i don't i appreciate it but like what am i what do i what do i do with it you know it's just it's just it's just uh the reality of of how. Well, and I think that is wonderful, Tim. Like, it's great to be at the level of success that you are right now that it doesn't matter. But I just feel like for me personally, like my encounters with my fans, like it still matters.
Starting point is 01:17:17 And that's just where I'm at right now. And I don't know if that's ever going to change. You know, like, I truly believe that if I had a show with 300 people watching and 300 people wanted to stay and meet me, I think I would meet them. So depending on venue... That's a different thing, too. That's, like, different than this
Starting point is 01:17:38 situation. Right, like, Trump comes down and he, like, meets people at the barricades and all that stuff. But, you know, there's a certain point at which your security company will just pull you away. They'll grab you and they'll just pull you out of the room. And it's, and then, and if you say no, they'll be like, then we are terminating your contract right now and have fun. And then it's like, well, if we don't have security, we're not going to be able to get booking. Like we're not able to do venues or like we can't work with this company again. If, if you hire a security company,
Starting point is 01:18:03 but say, I'm going to, I'm going to tell you, you know, when to and when not to and what we're doing. And they're going to be like, look, if something happens and we can't provide security. Oh, I'll give you an example. We got Alex Stein. I don't know if we're supposed to say this. I'm going to say it anyway. We got some people in trouble at a show because we did a bit where Alex jumped on stage, if
Starting point is 01:18:22 anyone remembers that. And the security company fired the people involved. And they got fired because the security company genuinely tried to stop him from coming on stage, but they weren't supposed to. The reason they wanted to stop him, even though we were like, Alex is going to come on stage and put on a show for us.
Starting point is 01:18:41 And like, he'll be a part of the event. The security company didn't say this to us but what we i should keep as vague as possible because i don't think i'm supposed to be saying this anyway but i'll say it anyway the security company that got hired now is publicly known as the company that let someone storm the stage and so people are going to say why should i hire you you were you failed to stop a guy from storming the stage at an event that's your fault well you know so they fired the people speaking of a guy from storming the stage at an event. That's your fault. Well, you know,
Starting point is 01:19:06 so they fired the people. Speaking of Alex Stein, Casper, you coffee is great coffee that we all love. And you know, there is a conspiracy out there, Tim, that you want to get Alex killed because the last two people you had on the coffee are no longer with us.
Starting point is 01:19:22 Well, there were animals, a rough mask. Alex is an animal. Have you guys seen him on stage? He's an animal. Let's jump to this next story from the Post Millennial. Trump reacts to Judge Marchand's threat of jail. Frankly, our Constitution is much more important than jail.
Starting point is 01:19:36 Trump basically saying, well, he literally saying, frankly, our Constitution is much more important than jail. I'll do that sacrifice any day. He got fined again. And the judge once again threatened him with jail time. But Trump, of course, is saying he would make that sacrifice. They're trying to stop him from speaking. This is the crazy thing. You've got Biden's campaign and his surrogates attacking Donald Trump on this criminal trial and the judge telling Trump he
Starting point is 01:20:02 cannot respond because it involves witnesses or elements of the case that he's barred from saying, stopping him from being able to counter the lies and the smears from his political enemies. I wonder if Trump wants to go to jail. Gutfeld today on The Five said he hopes Trump goes to jail because then he's guaranteed to win. I don't know that I believe that. But there is a theory among some Democrats that Trump is trying to provoke just enough so that he will get put in jail. But it has to be done in a way that makes it look like the court is being overbearing and not that Trump is being boisterous. Well, to a certain extent, that would make sense because he has gone along
Starting point is 01:20:40 with what they've said, right? He didn't go to the Supreme Court, even though it was his right to go to the Supreme Court. He took down the tweets by 2.15 after he was ordered to take down the truth socials by 2.15 last week. They held him in contempt again. I mean, he continues to play ball and do what they ask him to do, and they continue to go harder against him,
Starting point is 01:20:59 which does make him look substantially better, it turns out, than if he just continued to flout their rules which if you look at even what he said they're not he's not flouting their rules so even even the uh when they held him in contempt last week for the truth social posts and the the campaign post a couple of them were the exact same post just reposted you know and they did it again it's just like with the 34 count it It's the same payments in invoice form, receipt form, and billing form.
Starting point is 01:21:29 They're claiming that reposts are his speech as well. Yes. So now I guess we have precedents that retweets our endorsements. Well, and last week they were basically saying, like the judges come out and say, you know, this gag order isn't to give other people a sword and a shield
Starting point is 01:21:43 because Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen are going after Trump because he's specifically under this gag order isn't to give other people a sword and a shield because Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen are going after Trump because he's specifically under this gag order. I also love the way he's phrasing this because it definitely sets him up to be a martyr for the Constitution. The Constitution is more important. I will sacrifice that day. And I genuinely believe Donald Trump respects the Constitution, but I don't think this is what Judge Merchant was expecting when he was issuing this gag
Starting point is 01:22:06 order to basically make Trump like the freedom martyr. What if Trump just responded? Oh, I didn't post that. That was an assistant. Well, that's the same. I mean, he didn't he didn't enter the bookkeeping records either. That was some bookkeeper who probably. But if they're saying Trump is gagged, he can say can say no the trump page isn't me speaking
Starting point is 01:22:25 it's just the trump brand i think that's a brand but i think libya's right they would you treat it the same way where they're like well now this is a trial and that would give trump if trump really wants to go to jail he could respond with i'm not even posting these things it's a campaign account run by staff promoting my campaign and they're saying it's my speech there was also the thing too where the Trump campaign was saying that Bragg was bringing in witnesses that didn't have anything to do with the case at hand. Right. They like these just like some extra porn star or whatever who they just threw in as well. And that's interesting, given that the Harvey Weinstein case was just thrown out because the prosecution brought in witnesses that did not have a criminal claim in the case who were just like totally extraneous
Starting point is 01:23:05 so i wonder to a certain extent if brag unwittingly is setting up this case to be thrown out by the appeals court anyway i mean it was always the weakest case and again you know they had they've had uh i think 11 people witnesses called on behalf of prosecution they're saying prosecution saying they need two more weeks to finish this before the defense can present so it's being dragged out all of these witnesses you know there was one current uh trump organization employee today but there was a former one who was like yeah there was a payment to michael cohen i don't know what it's for i don't know the terms of his retainer i don't know no one can link donald trump to anything except they're using us used to pull out these checks and be like look there's donald's signature. And it's like,
Starting point is 01:23:45 this is his company. The plan here is to waste Trump's time. Waste his time and money. To pull him off the campaign trail. I mean, meanwhile, I think they were talking about doing a big rally
Starting point is 01:23:55 at Madison Square Garden, which would be awesome. Ideal, ideal. And then also on May 11th, he's doing a rally in Wildwood on the boardwalk. Like, that's gonna be badass. I want to see Trump on the boardwalk in Wildwood
Starting point is 01:24:06 with everybody in Jersey being like, we all love Trump. What? You know, you're going to have bikinis and American flags, Speedos. It's going to be wild. It's Trump summer. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:24:15 Yeah, I think they were saying that the Mar-a-Lago event was the last one and now he's going to Bedminster and he's going to be in Jersey from the time being or something like that. Well, he's a snowbird. So we know that he's going to be in Jersey all summer. It's an easy, it's like not a bad commute to court anyway.
Starting point is 01:24:28 Yeah. And he's going to be, you know, doing the, doing the Northeast thing. I think he has a good shot. I like when he comes out and New Yorkers are all happy to see him. That's one of my favorite things. Madison Square Garden. That's going to be so cool. I think it is so interesting.
Starting point is 01:24:42 I hope they really do it. He's been talking about it. They were talking about it in June. Right. And he's been saying, I mean, at the New Yorker Republicans gala, I remember him being on stage and being like, I'm going to win New York. Like, a declaration only Donald Trump can give,
Starting point is 01:24:55 but I think Alvin Bragg accidentally made that easier for him by saying and Judge Richard by being like, you have to be here and we're going to treat you like this and you can't leave and we're going to make it very difficult for you to campaign. He's like, great, I'll bring the campaign to New York.
Starting point is 01:25:08 All eyes on New York because of course, wherever Trump is, that's where the media attention is anyways. He could rally in Idaho, but the media is not there covering Idaho for any reason, but Trump is there.
Starting point is 01:25:19 The media follows Trump wherever he goes. And he's had meetings with dignitaries from Hungary and Japan and all over Poland, I think. You know? Maybe not Hungary, I don't remember. But anyways, people are coming to him. Who doesn't want to have a meeting with Trump in Trump Tower? Exchange a little gifts,
Starting point is 01:25:34 have some fun, well-done steak. Check out the golden toilet. I would love that. I mean, you don't want to meet with Joe Biden who's about to call you xenophobic on any day. And maybe he's shaking hands with somebody who's not even there. Look, I don't think it would be fun to meet with Joe Biden.
Starting point is 01:25:48 Well, the thing about meeting with Biden is that like you're a foreign dignitary. You know, you walk in and he walks past you towards your assistant or like your chauffeur. And he's like, hey, it's good to meet you. And then you're like, Mr. President. And then he's just wandering off
Starting point is 01:26:01 and spinning around in circles. Donald Trump, he'll call you handsome. Yeah. He'll call you the best. Look, he's just wandering off and spinning around in circles. Donald Trump, he'll call you handsome. Yeah, he'll call you the best. Look, he's charismatic. And I'm sorry, I'm not pleased with the state of our world or our country in the state of the world. And I'm almost an isolationist, right? Like, I think you should put America's problems first.
Starting point is 01:26:18 I think we should fix the border wall. I think we should get out of international conflicts. But as the international community is in a very tense geopolitical situation, I don't want Joe Biden to be the one negotiating anything, especially one day he has prime minister of Japan there. And the next day he's like, that guy's xenophobic because he doesn't like migrants and we like migrants. Like, this is not the guy for any of us. I think there is no reality in which Trump gets sent to jail for contempt. He's been held 10 times in contempt. And they're just fining him this negligible amount of money.
Starting point is 01:26:48 I know it's not literally, but for Trump, it is. Well, a thousand bucks a piece for Trump is not a big deal. Didn't he? What was his recent true social thing? Like billion something dollars? 1.8 billion dollar bonus. Nice. And Trump notoriously goes to all of his staff at his properties and hands out hundred dollar bills.
Starting point is 01:27:04 So when they're fining him like 10 grand, it's a nuisance. But Trump is a billionaire. But that's why that's really nice that he does that. It's good to make people feel appreciated. Oh, yeah. His employees love him. I mean, but that's one of the things the judge said, like, this money doesn't mean anything to you.
Starting point is 01:27:17 And I wish I could charge you more. Like, I'm sorry. Are you going to follow the law? Like, this is the fine for this this crime. You can't be like, well, you deserve to to to pay more because I hate you and you're rich. Like, just send him to jail if that's your ultimate goal. Except for the fact that they have figured out that possibly sending Trump to jail will actually rally more support for him.
Starting point is 01:27:35 Oh, man. Yeah, this is the thing, too. They're going to let him attend Barron's graduation. On the 17th, I think. Yeah. And you know why? Because they played a game of chicken. They could not win. Yeah. I was talking about this Because they played a game of chicken. They could not win.
Starting point is 01:27:45 Yeah. I was talking about this with some people in Mar-a-Lago, actually. I was like, could you imagine what would have happened if they told Trump you can't go to the graduation for Barron? You know what Barron would do? Barron would go to court instead. He'd stand outside for the press and say- Ah, damn. That would have been good, too. He'd say, for my father, who could not attend my graduation because of this corrupt judge, I am going to be here for him because we're family and family is more important. And that would have been a massive PR backlash for the Democrats in this case. So they probably talked about it and they were like, if Barron shows up and says, my
Starting point is 01:28:22 family's more important. My father was there for me. I'll be there for him. Like it's going to make them look real good. So they were like, just let him go to the graduation. Otherwise, it's going to backfire. Yeah, I think you're totally right. I mean, they had Eric Trump in the courthouse the other day, and the media was like, yeah, so he's the first one to come by. I mean, you know, they're sort of implying that Trump's family doesn't support him.
Starting point is 01:28:44 But also, I think if you're the average American, it's like, yeah, you're wasting Trump's time. You're wasting his family's time. Like, you're just making him suffer disproportionate to the amount of power you have in law because you don't like him. Meanwhile, the judge's daughter is literally fundraising off this campaign. I think if they just even if Barron had said nothing, he's just they photograph him walking into court. I think all of America would have been like, this is not fair. This is a terrible way to use the criminal prosecution system to punish this one particular family. And because they look at it and they say, this could be my family. Barron could be saying something like, this is one of the most important days of my life, my graduation.
Starting point is 01:29:19 And this corrupt court told my father he wouldn't be there. And so I decided to sacrifice this day. I'll get my diploma, but today I'll be where it matters most with family. And it would have just been like a nuke dropping on Democrats PR wise. So they that was that was a whoopsie big mistake. But the Supreme Court thing I think was a was a game of chicken. Trump strategy, I suppose, was they didn't want the arguments to turn into arguments about Trump. They wanted the arguments to remain as the strength of the presidency versus criminal charges. That's why Trump didn't want to go. So that I get. I thought he should have gone.
Starting point is 01:29:55 And like I said, I kind of did, too. But I was like, I'm sure there's some legal strategy they have. I'm going to pretend to know what his lawyers are thinking. His lawyers have a plan. And after the fact, they were like, if Trump were to have gone, then the lawyers would have been arguing about Trump. He'd be sitting there and it would have made it all about him. He's hoping to win this case
Starting point is 01:30:12 because of the protections the presidency offers, not the actions he took. Because there's two things happening. Did Trump act in his official duty and are official duties immune for criminal prosecution until impeachment and conviction? Trump didn't want the question to fall onto, did Trump engage in his official duties immune for criminal prosecution until impeachment and conviction
Starting point is 01:30:25 trump didn't want the question to fall onto it did trump engage in his official duties because then they could have just simply said the question of immunity is moot trump was not acting in his official capacity criminal prosecution stands so that was their that was their plan there and you know i don't know i guess it works out for him we'll see what happens do we know when they're going to issue that ruling actually no the supreme court never tells you when they're going to issue a ruling they typically will start dropping them in june i think they heard all the oral arguments so far for this year so now they are in decision mode um this was not an emergency ruling so they're gonna put it on the docket with the rest of their opinions that
Starting point is 01:31:02 they'll deliver uh in j right? I mean, probably. It could come in June. It could come later, right? It could come in June. It could come next week. I mean, it's really up to the Supreme Court. How many people have just checked out and they're just like, I'm so over it? Well, it's interesting you said that because there were a bunch of polls that came out over the weekend. Marist had one that, you know, the mainstream media is like, oh, look, Biden is ahead. But then they immediately have to say, well, you know, the mainstream media is like, oh, look, Biden is ahead. But then they immediately have to say, well, it's within the margin of error. And I think part of it is because people are not always that like in this room is probably
Starting point is 01:31:35 pretty politically engaged, you know, starting in the year before. But for the average American, you really start paying attention midsummer to late fall. And I think they need the polls to line up with Biden ahead right now to try and keep people thinking, oh, well, there's a chance. Because ultimately, it's impossible to keep up with all of America's problems right now. And the fact that the strategy appears to have been from progressive activists, especially ones that are in any sort of legal capacity for the government, will just bombard Trump with all these cases and that will slow him down.
Starting point is 01:32:08 It actually made it impossible for any average voter to pay attention to all of this stuff. There's no way they could say, well, in this case, this is happening. In this case, this is happening. Yeah. The other thing, too, is you have Jack Smith in the Mar-a-Lago seized documents case. His office recently admitted to evidence tampering after they seized the documents. Wow. So Trump is saying Trump's guys are like, he should probably be arrested for literal evidence tampering. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:33 You have a situation where the General Services Administration had sent a bunch of like classified and stuff documents to Mar-a-Lago like a year, a year before the, you know, a year before the investigation got underway from the special counsel's office. And you have so many cases going on. You have Fannie Willis is dealing with her own thing, and she's saying that she's not going to testify before the Georgia Senate. She's being brought up on stuff because she had an affair and then hired the prosecutor and paid him more money than she paid everybody else. And then they took all these trips and who knows what that all was about. So there are a lot of cases. And the goal, of course, as we've been saying here, is to bombard him with cases,
Starting point is 01:33:11 to prevent him from running a successful campaign and to do anything possible to try and jail him before the election. It looks like the Alvin Bragg case is the best one. That's their best chance right now. But it's funny because they always said that one was the weakest. It's a very weak case. That's the thing.
Starting point is 01:33:28 I mean, he could get off. He could get off. And if he's convicted on this, it really brings into question a lot of the... Convicted for what? There's no law. Right. Convicted for what? I mean...
Starting point is 01:33:38 They haven't even stated the crime yet. They did. They finally said that it's election interference. Oh, yeah, but that's not a crime. Right. That's how they brought it up to the classy felony. Right. So they're saying that interfering in a state election, but this is a federal election.
Starting point is 01:33:51 So there's still no law. They said it's election interference and the law is pertaining to New York state elections. Right. Yeah, it's very screwed up. It makes absolutely no sense. I think there's a good chance that he could. I think there's a good chance he could be not convicted. Maybe.
Starting point is 01:34:08 And if he's not convicted in one of these cases, all of them are totally out the window. I mean, they're all just so ludicrous. And the rest of them are pretty much delayed to the point where if he does win the election, he could pardon himself anyways. We're going to go to Super Chat.

Kale says when Matt Gaetz reschedules, can you ask him about impeachment of Biden for withholding aid to Israel? Do Republicans have the stones to do it?
Starting point is 01:35:11 I don't think they would because Biden's so deeply unpopular. They want him to lose. They don't want to force a replacement. So right now, the strategy is just let Biden keep going. And look what happened to Mayorkas impeachment, right? Like it's not going to get through the Senate. You know, at this point, we're on a ticking clock. You got to close out this Congress strong and also focus on reelecting more Republicans to Congress. Yeah, because it's a very slim majority.
Starting point is 01:35:32 It's super slim. Really bad news. I think the important thing to understand here, though, is that when Trump withheld aid, military aid to Ukraine, they impeached him. When Biden withholds aid to Israel
Starting point is 01:35:44 and even the pier is now the construction is being shifted away and postponed, delayed, or even suspended outright. I don't know if it's going to be rebuilt. Nothing happens. But that aid to Ukraine, if you cut off military aid to Ukraine, oh boy, do they come for you. No one seems to care about Israel in the in the government here. Biden's cutting off aid to Netanyahu. Nobody cares. Well, Biden, of course, also withheld aid to Ukraine. Remember, he withheld aid to Ukraine as vice president until they fired their prosecutor. And nobody seems to care about that at all. And that was in line with U.S. foreign policy, so the Democrats said, despite the fact it's the president that sets foreign policy, tacitly admitting that it's the deep state that
Starting point is 01:36:27 set foreign policy. Right. And also you have the situation where Congress has approved the aid to Israel. Biden is refusing to deliver it. Yep. That's I think this proves once and for all, as we've known for a long time. Ukraine controls the United States. The pro-Ukraine lobby is it's just controlling everything. That's why people who are critical of Ukraine get censored. It's fairly obvious, isn't it? Zelensky came here. Yeah, we're being controlled by the Ukrainians.
Starting point is 01:36:54 Sure. That's why we have to pay them so much money. That's why we're paying them more than any other country. We do pay them that. Do you see how Zelensky goes on Twitter and he's like, I want more F-16s. And it's like, boom, more F-16s. Every promise Biden made about what we would not send to Ukraine, he has broken. Clint Torres says, my, my, my. Whilst the cat's away, the mice will surely play. Phil, go to the gym. Yeah, Clint wasn't here last week and other people had taken his place as first in the Super Chat. Let's go. Dan Bolka says, Haven't there to watch in a week? Haven't there to watch in a week?
Starting point is 01:37:31 I'm so sorry. However, I got married on May 4th in AZ and now enjoying our honeymoon in Sedona. Thank you all for the work you do. Tim and Timcast, time to go to the Vortex for Ian. I'm so glad my pro-marriage propaganda on this show is paying off. I take full credit for this marriage, I'm sure. It's all because of me. Steve Powell says, what are your guys' thoughts on the EPA ruling and regulations on PFAS,
Starting point is 01:37:52 contaminations in water? My family runs a small business that does water treatment. PFAS, what does that one stand for? We've talked about all these before. These are like the forever chemicals. Yeah. What is PFAS? Someone want to look that up? I'm Goog something i'd imagine it's oh i can't say these words all right it's
Starting point is 01:38:11 all science wait where are they pfas it's pfa per and polyfluoroalkyl alcohol look at that. I can't say those either. That is PFAs. Flu-fluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl. Yep. Fluoroalkyl. There you go. Organofluorine chemical compounds that have multiple fluorine atoms. And I don't know what the EPA ruling is. So I wouldn't know how to answer that question. I had somebody recently come up to me at an event and start talking my ear off about fluoride and fluoride in the water and how I should really figure that out.
Starting point is 01:38:49 You should you personally are going to. Yeah. OK. And now for the super chat that everyone's been waiting for. Jason Dixon says, Tim, bro, why are you and Jake having beef? Jake Shields. So if you guys are wondering about Jake Shields on Twitter, I'll tell you. We're on episode 1019.
Starting point is 01:39:10 We've had less guests than that because we have a lot of repeat guests. So maybe what, like 900 different guests and not a single one. Actually, there's been two guests who, when we tried to book them, made demands that were difficult that we tried to accommodate and then took to Twitter to scream at the top of their lungs like whiny babies as if they deserve to just come on and we can open the door for them. Like, we're going to pay for your travel, fly you out here while you're whinging and complaining about it. Two out of like 900 people. So I'll tell you exactly what happened because Jake is having a meltdown over it. What a baby. Our booker, Cassandra, reached out to Jake Shields because we've had, we've talked about him a bit in the past. We've cheered him on for some of the commentary he's made as an MMA fighter.
Starting point is 01:40:01 And he wanted to come on the show, Tim Castile, of course, which is a topical news program that discusses, you know, top stories in the news, like we talked about the Met Galate. And he said he would not come on unless we also brought on Nick Fuentes as well, which is like, okay, well, like, we're inviting you, dude. So if you want to, like, and he was like, no, look, I'll only come on if Nick comes on on because he said he didn't think he could handle talking about it on his own. And then Cassandra was like, I don't know if I if I if I can do that. And so he started complaining. So I reached out to him and I was like, look, man, if you want to come on a topical news show and we'll talk topical news, we can. But if you want to come on with Nick to talk about Jews in Israel, it's a debate show. If you want to do that, then I'll bring on someone to
Starting point is 01:40:45 debate. And then he called me a Zionist and said, why don't we just debate you? And I was like, because I agree with defunding military spending into Israel. So I don't know what we're talking about other than you guys talking about Jews. If you want to talk about Jews, we'll bring on, you know, a rabbi or someone to, to debate you on the issue. And he said, okay. So, uh, I said, reach out to me, like send me a text every week or so. I'll let you know where I'm at with trying to book this. Unfortunately for Jake and for Nick, no one wants to go on a show with them. And so they offered up maybe Rabbi Shmuley. And I said, guys, you do realize that if you do that, people are going to claim that you backed out of the debate, didn't want to do a real debate with someone. And Jake agreed. And I said, how about we try and find someone? There were a couple people who
Starting point is 01:41:28 actually know Jake and Nick and are friendly with them and actually said, I won't do it. And I'm not going to drag them into it. Jake starts having a meltdown. He's like freaking out and talking smack privately, like angry that we can't set up the show he wanted that we never offered in the first place, but are trying to accommodate him. And then finally, the last thing said to him was like, look, you guys are volatile and it's a huge risk to try and bring you on a show, especially with the things you're saying now, unless we do it in a debate format and no one wants to debate you. Like just people are saying no every single time. Well, so what happens is Jake sends me a message or something. And I can't remember what we were doing.
Starting point is 01:42:07 We're like, we're setting up the new event, like the new space or whatever. I didn't text him back. He sent it to me last week. And so then he gets super pissed off. And then he posts this tirade on X about how I'm a coward for lying to him. But he's just making everything up. He's acting like I invited him and Nick to come on the show. He hit us up and said he would only come on if we invited Fuentes.
Starting point is 01:42:26 And I said, OK. And I said, but here's how we got to do it. Because like there's there. Look, you if there have been other big YouTube channels that have run on Nick and they got instantly demonetized and just shut down. And I said, so the only way we can do the show that you want to do where you just complain about Jews all day in APAC is if it's a debate and then you can say what you want to say and have someone debate you on it. Nobody wants to debate these guys, not even their friends. Nobody wants to do it. There have
Starting point is 01:42:52 been a few people who have challenged them to debates and they've backed down. I shouldn't say Nick. I don't know about Nick, but Jake has. So now Jake is having a big old hissy fit on X because we won't give him what he wants. What a baby. My God. What a whiny, whiny baby, dude. It's embarrassing. Shut up already, man. You're not welcome here because you're a whiny baby. We tried to accommodate you and now you're whinging like a baby. Holy crap. Only one other guest got close to doing something like this and they put out one tweet complaining about it and we rolled our eyes and we moved on. But this dude is like, he is demanding, demanding, demanding. Jeez, man. And now he won't stop crying about it on. He's like posting nonstop about me. He's retweeting
Starting point is 01:43:36 everyone in the world. It's like the biggest melt that I've ever seen because we couldn't do the show he wanted to do. Imagine tasking like multiple employees trying to set up a show that you asked for that we never planned for in the first place, because we're trying to do that show and then freaking out about it. And then you get all these people who are like, Tim's scared of Nick Fuentes. We didn't even invite Nick. We invited Jake. And then Jake was like, I can't do it by myself. I would have to come out with Nick. And then I said, OK, but that means if you want to talk about specifically Jews, it would have to be a debate. And he goes, sounds good. Let's make it happen. And now he's acting like he's been slighted.
Starting point is 01:44:09 What a whiny little baby. Anyway, there you go. That's the story there. Jason Dixon says, Tim, what do I need to do to buy the Southeast Texas region as a franchise owner? Casper, I'm self-made and I don't care about personal profits. Well, we will keep you in mind. I can't say much as to franchise or anything like that. I don't know the rules or whatever.
Starting point is 01:44:28 We are currently working on setting all of the certain things up for new locations. And, you know, we'll we'll we'll be in touch. I'll keep it in mind. Saddle laughing. Tramp says the media won't call leftist riots. Riots. They won't call leftist riots riots because it will put them on the same moral level as j6 they never call them rights they always just say protests and
Starting point is 01:44:50 demonstrations the conservatives even do this yeah and people um lefties got mad when there were comparisons made to j6 they were like oh don't do that don't bring that up because those people were not really that violent and they just wandered around and left. It was mostly peaceful. Right. Yeah, I mean, they were smashing barricades and fighting with cops, but yeah, it's mostly peaceful. And they burned down a police station. Mostly peaceful.
Starting point is 01:45:13 Not like Portland. SpongeGwop asking a similar question as the previous one. Why did you cancel on Jake Shields and Nick Fuentes? We actually didn't even cancel on them. I just didn't respond to his text that he sent, what was it, like seven days ago or something? And so he took to Twitter and got super angry. The real issue is that the show they wanted to do, we couldn't get guests for. And I feel like they kind of do this on purpose. I like it's how they generate attention for them. I shouldn't say Nick. Nick has nothing to do with this. It was Jake Shields. He basically is like, oh, I'll come
Starting point is 01:45:42 on your show, but you have to I'll make it as difficult as possible for you. It has to be all of these things. And we're like, okay, we'll try and figure that out. And then when we can't meet their demands, he goes on Twitter and gets a thousand retweets claiming he's been affronted or something. It's like the fakest garbage ever. It's like WWE, okay? He's trying to create controversy to make it exciting on Twitter and get those retweets. That's it. So he can tell the story because privately he's like, cool, man, I appreciate it. I'll see if I can come on later. And we were like, all right, we'll try and figure it out. And the next thing we know, he's whinging on Twitter like a little baby. Dude, it is it is the craziest meltdown. I just I'm sorry. It's the craziest
Starting point is 01:46:19 whiny meltdown I've ever seen. He's like crying his eyes out. I can't believe it. No other guest has ever done this when we were like, we can't make the show work for whatever reason. We like we talked to a bunch of different people about tons of election stuff and vaccine stuff. And we're like, look, you know, the YouTube rules and we can we can do what we can do. But like if you come to us and they're like, no, no, no, we totally get it. And not a one of them, not a one of them cried about it. Like this guy is. It's like the it's like the most embarrassing thing, dude. Calm down. Live your life. Go go build a house or something, man. All right. Stephen Ellis says, isn't intifada what Maduro ate during his public address to his starving population?
Starting point is 01:47:05 It was empanada. But, you know, I understand why you thought you were close. Neglectable Sausage says, who wants to take bets? A lot of these students were partying and failing their classes. So they are looking for an out explanation for why they're to their friends and family. I actually think a lot of them genuinely think that being involved in a big major scale protest is like an important step for them socially and and potentially professionally right they see this as like them doing good in the world i remember this interview that one of the i made of an abc news
Starting point is 01:47:35 did with a girl at the campus she was they were like well what happens if you can't graduate because of this and she was like well you know that would be sad but you know i think ultimately that would be okay because it's part of my my sacrifice for this bigger cause for the greater good you know they see this as their ultimate fulfillment because they have no god and they have no religion and they don't believe in anything right and they're you know all being told well don't start families and you know fairly the economy is bad and this that and the other like there's a level of like this is your moment so sacrifice everything for it the economy is going to get worse when civilization collapses because there's nobody too far away to think about too far away but so is climate change way too far away did you
Starting point is 01:48:13 see the one girl who was inside hamilton hall at columbia who the cops were coming in and she goes like you know f you we have finals can't i just go home and it's like what do you mean like, you know, F you, we have finals. Can't I just go home? And it's like, what do you mean? Like, if you have finals, why aren't you at home studying for your finals? It was amazing how many of the protesters like brought up the fact that they were like, that it was finals going on. They were like, yeah, everything's really stressful right now. And you know, we have finals. Like I heard that one.
Starting point is 01:48:38 And it's like, just go, go study. Like, why aren't you studying? You don't think that, I mean, again i go back to the the idea that they're like and i i could be gaza it could be literally anything i think it's just this generation is like activism is the way to make my that my mark on society right and i mean a is for activists right this is the alphabet they were raised on they're not looking at their fellow classmates being like yeah i'm stressed about finals how are you guys doing who are hiding in your dorm rooms during lockdown? Like, again, it's not even to weigh in on the Gaza Israel stuff. It's just to say that like
Starting point is 01:49:11 activism is a form of social gratification for a lot of these people right now. So this is interesting. I was just fact checking this real quick. John Maroffa says the watermelon's colors are red, white, black and green, the Palestinian flag. So are the four horsemen of the apocalypse, by the way. And it's true. I didn't actually think that was going to be true, but it literally is. So I can break it down for you. We have the source here because I'm like, this seems strange. And as the white horse, there's the red horse, the black horse, and the pale horse. However, they say the color of death's horse was written as Kleros,
Starting point is 01:49:46 the original, uh, uh, in the original Koine Greek, which can either mean green, greenish, yellow, or pale. The color is often translated as pale though, ashen, pale green and yellowish green. Interesting. So it's, it's, it's, it's green, I guess. So green, red, white, and, um, and black. How interesting. I don't know. Cody Johnson says, Hey, Tim, can I get a shout out for my new book, Coming Home, by Cody Johnson? It's a sci-fi military thriller novella similar to Ghost in the Shell. Very cool. Shout out. I think the novella form doesn't get enough attention.
Starting point is 01:50:17 I feel like we should have more novellas. Because they're short books. They're like 30,000 to 40,000 words. I think that this internet generation would appreciate them more. How long is a normal book? I think to qualify as a novel, you're over 90,000 words. I'll look it up right now, but there is a standard for this. He can get a shout out, but don't you dare bring that book to Tim. Jacob Hawley says, so what you are saying, Tim, is that not only do we need to make Gaza a state, we need to make Israel one too. All right. Calling my
Starting point is 01:50:45 Wisconsin representative Glenn Grothman right now, Ian Roland, 20s. Yes, because the joke was Ian said we should make Palestine, Gaza, the 51st state. Makes literally no sense. It's so fun to talk to Ian because you're really stretching the expansions of your brain sometimes. I mean, in fact, any country that we give billions and billions and billions of dollars of aid to functions, you know, functions like a dependent of the U.S., but we don't grant them citizenships and allow them free movement through our country. I feel like that is an important distinction. However, fine, the line is becoming.
Starting point is 01:51:19 Scott Quimitt says, for as many people watch Tim Pool when I mention his show in conversations, rarely does anyone even know who I'm talking about, aside from his Occupy days. And this is the reality of life. No one is as famous to you as they are to other people. So a really good example of this is Billy Eichner had Chris Pratt, I think. And they run through New York. And he does a lot. And he's like, do you know who this is?
Starting point is 01:51:42 Nobody knew who he was. And I'm like, this is Chris Pratt. I mean, like he's in all the big blockbusters, but that's, that's true. It's like people live in different worlds, but everyone, I think the, the, the, the issue for a lot of people is that they assume if they know what other people must know it, that the things to them that matter the most matter the most to everybody else. But the truth is if, if you go out and walk the streets, I mean, in New York, there are certain things that people will all know about. Crime, of course, is a big conversation among New Yorkers.
Starting point is 01:52:09 But there are local news channels. You know, I love when I'm traveling. I turn on local news. I like that, too. Yeah. And they'll say something like the ongoing scandal involving the Cracker Factory on 7th with John. And I'm like, really?
Starting point is 01:52:21 Like, they're having a cracker scandal in this small town? I had no idea. When I was driving in today, I guess Hannah, really? Like, they're having a cracker scandal in this small town. I had no idea. When I was driving in today, I guess Hannah, Wyoming is having a hard time keeping its very expensive and large recreational complex open because the town is getting smaller
Starting point is 01:52:34 and it costs, you know, a lot to heat the building and it's cold. You know, I love local issues, but they definitely are not something we would all be aware of. But shout out to you, Hannah, Wyoming. All right. True Trucker Joe says says move on up run for office i did it and i'm a trucker texas 17 get our stuff moving joseph langon langon 17 let's drive our country forward
Starting point is 01:52:58 tim had a suit ha ha ha that's right it's very nice it's a very nice suit and i buttoned the bottom button which i learned man of the people i learned after the fact was wrong and i'm like look you know i have no idea how to wear any of these clothes nor have i ever and i was like uh or uh someone told me it's like trump eating well done steak with ketchup it sees a man of the people you know what i mean yeah i mean you guys are deeply relatable i look at it more like uh there's a saying never insult someone for mispronouncing a word it means they learned it from reading so you always just say it's actually pronounced this way but that means you learned it from you were reading because that's my son pronounces a lot of words wrong from because he read them see there you go fantastic. No, I think you just call him retarded. Yeah, I'm probably not going to do that. Then you discourage him. Just kidding.
Starting point is 01:53:47 Gamer J says, George Soros' son is currently dating Huma Abedin. She was Hillary Clinton's right hand forever. More direct DNC and Soros connections. They were spotted at a basketball game together, if I recall. He hard launched her on Valentine's Day, I believe. Ooh, how about that?
Starting point is 01:54:03 Wow. All right, what do we have? stewart alistair edition says tim for some reason some of my videos have tim cast as a watermark love the show but not that much youtube is looking into it is that normal what what do you mean what do you mean tim gets as a watermark some of your videos are you think we need like a screenshot at example yeah i don't know what that means all right tim slowly taking over the internet that's what that means yeah okanul says hi tim watch your show for a long time coffee is great two weeks ago 427 my family's home since 1881 in winchester burnt down wait in virginia virginia parents have set up a go fund
Starting point is 01:54:42 me i know you don't like them would appreciate a shout nathaniel and terry house fire go fund me oh well i think we found a cause to support you know what i was thinking let me let me let me look this up nathaniel and uh terry house fire go fund me i was uh when when donald trump go when donald trump Donald Trump was leaving Mar-a-Lago on Sunday morning, I was sitting on a bench and he's walking past me and I just just gave him a little wave like Mr. President and the guy next to me says, Mr. President, I get a picture and Trump stops and he's got a secret service and he looks at me, he goes, do you have to? All right, come on, come on. I'm so late. Let's go. And i was thinking to myself right there what a generous guy he's busy he's got to go to he's going to the f1 race he's running behind but he knows this one guy is only going to have this one chance to get this photo so he took the time out of the day to give that guy that photo and i was thinking you know in in in honor of
Starting point is 01:55:37 that generosity of donald j trump i would i would assist someone with their bills or debt of some sort. And maybe this one will be it. That is awesome. That actually just makes me like Donald Trump even more. What a great story. We will make a donation right now. What do we say? How much should I donate? They're asking for $5,000.
Starting point is 01:56:00 They're at $4,000 right now. This picture is crazy. Donate $5,000. $5,000, done. That is awesome, Tyler. That is awesome so nice i love it oh it's a picture of the house for anyone listening who you know i realize this is also an audio medium and i'm not helping here but that is a that is a charred house that is really cool tim that's freaking awesome i thought this is one of my favorite things about the way irl is formatted
Starting point is 01:56:25 which is like especially when we do the members only and people are able to call in you're able to really hear what's going on in their lives i find myself thinking about like tragic things we're able to help support different gifts and goes hell yeah that's really cool because i was inspired by donald trump's generosity part of me part of me was thinking was like i wonder if people would get mad that i would say that why he? He's a generous guy. Because people hate Trump. And they feel like he's generous. Yeah, it's like he is. He's very nice. He was very generous. And I was like, what a good guy to take time out of his day when he's in a rush and he's in a hurry to do this thing for this guy. And I was like, it'd be cool if I went on Twitter and just said,
Starting point is 01:57:00 like, hey, I want to help somebody out because I saw Trump be generous and I feel like I should pay it forward. But I also kind of thought like a lot of people would get mad on the left who hate Trump. Did people get mad? No, this just shows you. Well, I just did it right now. This just shows you the power of kindness. The fact that you witnessed that and you saw that and you got inspired. Now you just help someone with 5K. That's huge. So it's little things actually matter. Taking your time out of date, it matters. Because look at the ripple effect at this moment right now. So kudos to you, Tim. I think that's really awesome.
Starting point is 01:57:30 I wonder if there's like a law where if I said like every show I would, someone could like, it's probably a rule or a law about that. I've known other YouTubers who will say, you know, like they're not posting live videos, but they'll say like a portion of today's videos, whatever I generate, we'll go to a charity and like pick it out of a hat or whatever. I think you could do stuff like that. No, I'm saying like, what if I said every show I'd give one super chatter who needed it for help a thousand bucks?
Starting point is 01:57:55 Like, I feel like there might be a rule or a law about that. Doesn't it just matter for like tax write-offs? They might call it a sweepstakes or something. I hate that. I hate that the law would be used to prevent you from helping other people well remember like a year ago we said we wanted to do a thing where we gave someone like once a month 10 grand towards some cultural endeavor we legally can't do it it's so insanely hard to do but it's your money and because it's
Starting point is 01:58:18 considered a sweepstakes so can you just do it like without announcing i've been i basically like have been helping people out hooking people up things like that yeah and uh but but when it came to talking to the lawyers being like no we want to like make it so that someone can be like hey i'm working on this project they were like so you're asking people to submit like forms right with with requirements for a chance to win money that's called sweepstakes there's laws why is it a sweepstakes and not a grant you know like why aren't you giving people like a grant to start a project the grants exist all the time is the federal government the only one who's allowed to issue those so i it's been it's like basically that might be like a more
Starting point is 01:58:58 complicated accounting question too because of membership because we were like we want to support our members and like yeah you can't do it that way. And then I was like, what if we said something? Yeah, so. Oh, yeah, because I had to be like open to the public. I remember you talking about this. Yeah, but there was a bunch of other stuff too. So where we basically just like, look, you can't feasibly do something like this unless
Starting point is 01:59:16 we set up a different company that takes the investment and then does something like that. What I can do is if it's random like just now someone mentioned their house burned down and so you said give them five grand i'm like i can do that yes because it's just like a random thing we did and if i went on twitter and said hey i'm gonna give someone some money to help with their bills or whatever you can send me a tweet that would work um yeah i don't know what i'd like to say is every show we would help someone out with an emergency with like a thousand bucks towards their emergency i'll have to ask my lawyer if i'm allowed to do that yeah i mean especially like like i said during during our after show
Starting point is 01:59:56 we do get people who are like hey here's a give send go link or in this case a go fund me link to something that's going on like just bringing something to your attention where there is a way for you to give money. I don't know. That would be cool. Yeah, we'll figure it out. That'd be really cool if like every show we were like, someone could mention a GoFundMe
Starting point is 02:00:12 or something that needed support. Because it also means that all the members can also, if they have it, you know, have extra money around can help out too. It's not just like you're the only one or the show's the only thing. Bill Pulte was mentioning that he does stuff like that, where like he'll go on Twitter and say,
Starting point is 02:00:25 let's see if we can help someone out and deal with some emergency bills or food costs or whatever. And then people will send a bunch of ideas and then they all come together and help this person. Yeah. Because if you have, he has 3 million followers. If you get a million people,
Starting point is 02:00:38 if you get 10,000 people to each give like five bucks. It's a lot of money. That's a lot of money to help someone who's in an emergency. But for you, be it might just be five bucks that'd be cool if we could do that that'd be huge that'd be fun imagine if that like every super chat we're like we're gonna help someone pay their bills yeah i like that it's awesome it's like really shows you care about your fans and i love it well we'll read one more bailey cole says i'm gen z running for u.s house in texas district 28 incumbent, Henry Cuellar, was indicted for taking $600,000 in bribes from multiple
Starting point is 02:01:09 foreign entities. At Cole for H-O-R. Well, good luck, sir.

Any help is welcomed. You didn't post your Venmo. We're going to have to figure out the system. How can I help you?
Starting point is 02:02:38 Yeah. You've got maybe like 30 seconds to post your Venmo and I'll pay your rent for you. Wow. Damn. So I'll say it slower. Bye. Wow. Damn. Yeah, so I'll say it slower. Bye, search. Yeah, see you guys. Yeah, make sure you post that sub, man.
Starting point is 02:02:51 It'll help you a lot. Well, so I'm going to give it another 30 seconds. We're just filibustering here. I'm going to filibuster. And hopefully SG can send his Venmo. Smash the like button. Become a member at timcast.com. The members only show is coming up.
Starting point is 02:03:03 There's a slight delay. That's why I'm patterning. So for us here in the studio, we're actually like 30 seconds behind everyone else. So I'm watching where the show is now with the delay, hoping that SG will super chat his Venmo. You know, I'll just start reading random articles. Could you read aloud from a post millennial? All right.
Starting point is 02:03:24 I was actually checking out the, see We Were at the Met protest, but everyone just keeps posting older footage from a couple hours ago, so I don't see anything new. But apparently the Met attendees are totally in the dark about if there's even a protest at all. They don't even really know. This is intentional. Anna Winters is silencing the protesters. SG, did you send your stuff in?
Starting point is 02:03:43 So there is a slight delay. So what we'll do is we will go to TimCast.com and go to the members only show and we'll see you all there and by the time the show wraps, maybe S.G. will have that super chat and we'll get his Venmo and we can help him out. Thanks for hanging out. We'll see you all over at TimCast.com in a minute. you you
