Starting point is 00:00:00 Ladies and gentlemen, right now, it's very surprising, actually. Hurricane Milton has been upgraded to a Category 5 with 175 mile an hour winds. They are giving evacuation orders throughout Florida. There's photos and videos circulating of people GTFOing from Florida because they're expecting on the West Coast 8 to 12 foot storm surges. This is no joke. I am not the expert on what you should or should not be doing. I will only ask you to please consider what they are telling you right now. This is apparently the biggest storm in 100 years, and it's going to just slam as a major hurricane,
Starting point is 00:00:35 Category 5, right into Florida. And so for my friends and friends of the show who are out there, you might have to come visit and come on the show and stay safe. But in the meantime, while we are facing this imminent disaster, we've got big news pertaining to the existing disaster in North Carolina and Georgia. And that is over the weekend, which I got to be honest, as much as people don't like Kamala Harris, it really is surprising to see that she tweeted out that the people of Lebanon are suffering. And so that we're going to give them an additional one hundred and fifty seven million dollars, bring the total to three hundred and eighty five million dollars. And everybody collectively lost their their minds. How could you be so callous? I mean, right now, I just don't say anything.
Starting point is 00:01:16 It had to be Kamala Harris desperately trying to avoid becoming president by tweeting out that she was going to give away hundreds of millions of dollars when guess what? The day before, FEMA announced $45 million would be going to the victims of Hurricane Helene, which is remarkable. A little bit more than 10% of what Lebanon's gotten this year. Can't say that I'm surprised. We'll talk about that. Plus, she appeared on Call Her Daddy, which actually the Call Her Daddy podcast is getting a backlash over this. Alex Cooper, the host, apparently has a lot of people watch her show who are mixed politics, and now she's pissed a lot of people off. Elon Musk has this great interview with Tucker Carlson where he says that, hey, look, the reason why a lot of billionaires are lining up behind Kamala Harris, it's because Trump's going to release the Epstein files.
Starting point is 00:02:00 And then he makes a joke about how much prison time do you think I'm going to get if Kamala wins? So we'll talk about that, Plus a lot of other news, Marjorie Taylor Greene in the news, because she says that, yes, they can control the weather and keeps it at that. And the media then put the word they in quotes. I can't believe they, I can believe they did that. But before we get started, my friends, I got good news. Head over to boonieshq.com because guess what? Our skateboards are in stock. I'll give you some numbers. The boobies, which.com because guess what? Our skateboards are in stock.

What do you do? What do I do? Well, I've done a lot of stuff. Since 2009, I've been at Infowars, and I've seen all the trials and tribulations going through that. And I've got a pretty good story to tell you about what's going on currently, because it does change day by day. The Democratic Party is closing in on Alex Jones and the agents that I think are still overall pissed off that Hillary Clinton did not win. And so they've taken this Sandy Hook thing that happened and turned it
Starting point is 00:03:59 into Alex's whole identity and have used it just to attack him aggressively. And there's two big events coming up, one in October and one in November. In October, they will be looking at whether they could put Alex under a receiver, which is sort of like making him an indentured servant. So basically taking away his financial freedom on top of what they're already doing with the bankruptcy. And then in November, there's going to be two auctions where they're going to auction off the digital assets of InfoWars and then the physical assets. And those are part of the liquidation that was agreed to by both parties. And so that could be a big turning point. Somebody could come in and buy InfoWars and keep it going. Elon? Yeah. Has he joked about it?
Starting point is 00:04:43 Well, I think that was an account that wasn't a real account. Yeah, a parody account that did it. But the real thing is, Alex is fighting battles on a lot of fronts. And he's been around for a long time. I used to listen to Alex Jones at a job I had, Tokyo Electron.
Starting point is 00:05:00 I was a video guy there. And I'd put on Alex Jones all day and just listen to him while I was editing and just had him in the background. And, you know, with all the news and his perspective and the way he was able to draw different events you would not think were related and somehow show you how they were working together. He predicted 9-11. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's not a joke.
Starting point is 00:05:19 And he actually has a video from, like, July of 2001 where he says they're going to target the World Trade Centers and blame Osama bin Laden. Yes. You can find these videos. You can watch them. And more famously, more recently, he predicted the Russian invasion of Ukraine several months in advance. I asked him. He called it the end of February. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:05:36 When it happened. And I asked him, how did he know? And he was like, Tim, I just read the news. I don't know. I just read an article and it said these things were going on. And I'm like, that's going to happen. Well, I think what happens is when he's in his zone which is you know on the show he's thinking about how and he's looking at all the articles and you know he's like that guy looking at all the red lines yeah
Starting point is 00:05:51 look at everything together and he's like okay I could see it right now it's going to happen into February they're going in they're going to march in and he called it I mean he called it there uh we'll see what happens the next month or two or the next couple of months we will and you know people can help out and I appreciate you having having me on to at least tell people how they can help. And that's, you know, go to realalexjones.com where he's got his, you know, he's running a give sin go for his legal defense, because if he's able to fight these battles, he can stay on the field. And that's the,
Starting point is 00:06:18 I think the main thing for him is staying on the field fighting realalexjones.com. And then, you know, I'm sporting one of these shirts from the alex jones experience this is the alex jones experience and you can check that out at the alexjonesstore.com and he's got lots of t-shirts and these are separate companies they're not associated with him because he really can't own any assets that's where they're taking everything away from him right on and you know this is a guy well yeah let's uh we'll get into it i'm sure uh and more in depth with those updates but it should be fun thanks for hanging out oh yeah we got phil hanging out hello everybody my name. We got Phil hanging out.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary. Hannah Clare, how are you? It's so fun to have you back. I missed you while you were on tour, and it's great to have you with us. I sometimes hope the Elon Musk parody account is actually just Elon Musk's burner account
Starting point is 00:07:02 where he tests, launches ideas, and sees what people are going to say. But yeah, I'm Hannah Glabrimolo. I'm on the show. I always think it's Adrian Dittman. Oh, maybe. Let's get started. Here's the big story from over the weekend from Newsweek, Kamala Harris's Lebanon relief
Starting point is 00:07:15 under scrutiny as GOP stokes Helene backlash. Look, I like Newsweek. They do a lot of good stuff sometimes. They're not as bad as a lot of the other corporate press outlets. They've got some good people over there. But this one is just guys. G.O.P. Stokes, Helene Backlash, Kamala Harris on October 5th for no reason tweeted out. The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation. I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there. To that end, the United States will provide nearly
Starting point is 00:07:48 $157 million in additional assistance to the people of Lebanon for essential needs, such as food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation, to help those who have been displaced by the recent conflict. This additional support brings total U.S. assistance to Lebanon over the last year to over $385 million. Why? Who else could use food, water, and protection? Just first question, first question. Why tweet this?
Starting point is 00:08:13 You want to rub it in people's faces. That's what it is. Was Kamala sitting there being like, I really don't want to be president. I'm going to sabotage my own campaign right now. Michael Malice knows why. He said it on the Joe Rogan podcast. She's a retard. It's one of the wildest tweets because she put this out while Donald Trump was speaking at the Butler rally.
Starting point is 00:08:35 His big return to Butler, Pennsylvania rally. This is her gotcha moment. On stage and to distract from whatever he's saying. She's like, I know what I'll say. This, that will make people like me. It's, it's, if she, I don't really believe she writes her own tweets. So whichever aide wrote this for her and was like, no, no, it's a great idea that we talk about this right now. Clearly did not read the room when it comes to the American people.
Starting point is 00:08:56 There is a secret MAGA mole working for the, for the, for Kamala's campaign. Writing the tweets. And was like, I am going to put a stop to this. And just tweeted this out because, look, there's a lot of money the U.S. gives to a lot of people and we're pissed off about most of it. But you don't tweet about it.
Starting point is 00:09:13 And so here she is in one of the most critical moments where people in North Carolina and Georgia are suffering and dying. And she's like, by the way, 400 million went to Lebanon.
Starting point is 00:09:24 What are the chances it was like one of the tweets where you schedule for later? Someone scheduled it and they forgot to take it off. They're just like, oh, you know, this will blah, blah, blah. That's actually a really good point. I'm not saying that it was, but it could be. But I got to tell you there's another component to this and that it was scheduled two days before October 7th.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Basically saying the people of Lebanon are facing a dire humanitarian situation. And it's like, that's that's that's true. They are. But there is a war going on. And for all the people who are divided on the issue of Israel, she's just basically fanning the flames of those tensions, because I assure you, the pro-Israel people are like, why would she post this two days before the anniversary? Americans are still held hostage. There are still Americans being held by al-Aziz today. In this war, right?
Starting point is 00:10:07 Yeah, still today. So, I mean, the fact that she's—and again, I totally agree with you. The people of Lebanon, they're suffering because of Hezbollah, because of Iran. But it's a war between—look, all this is going to do is piss off the pro-Israel people who are being like, why are you giving money to the people we are at war with? And fine, by all means, humanitarian assistance we get, but two days before October 7th? I'm not saying it's the biggest point here, but it's just like, if you could ever craft a tweet and time it perfectly to sabotage your campaign, that would be, is the October
Starting point is 00:10:44 surprise Kamala Harris just basically tries resigning? I think that she is surprised she is in the position she— you know, she is surprised to find herself the presidential candidate. She's never been able to effectively message on the Israel-the Middle East conflict at all. I mean, they're—and part of it is because Democratic, especially progressive voters, are more divided on it than, you know, their counterparts may be on the right. She I don't think thinks anything through. Like I said, I don't think she runs her own Twitter account. So someone else
Starting point is 00:11:14 wrote this out. She doesn't take questions from the media. We're not even sure she knows it was posted. And again, I think it speaks to the fact that this is a very detached campaign. Fox News had this report over the weekend that since the Harris-Walls tickers formed, so after Walls was named as the VP, they did something like 25 interviews, right? And they're starting to ramp that up now. During the same period of time, Trump advanced it 63. So we have one campaign that is really trying to get their messaging to the people, that's really trying to talk about the issues. We have another one that's sort of trying to coast on vibes and, hey, look, we're not Joe Biden, so feel the relief. It's not enough.
Starting point is 00:11:49 They're not going to convert voters this way. And you don't have a message. When you saw just the clip from 60 Minutes, you saw what she said. She's just word salad after word salad. Here's my economic plan is to tax people and the billionaires aren't paying enough, which means everybody's going to pay. That clip was brutal. It was. He's like, yeah, we live in the real world.
Starting point is 00:12:07 The lighting looks bad on her, too. It's like they screwed up the lighting. They screwed up everything on her like they did with that other interview with Dana Bash. I hope the deep state is actually, it's a double conspiracy, and they want Trump to win. Because I accept that. Like, please, we cannot have Kamala Harris. There's a... It might be dark days.
Starting point is 00:12:22 The double conspiracy is that Trump is actually a part of the deep state and the deep state's pretending that he's under fire so that people like Alex Jones and anti-government people flock to Trump, but then actually end up waving American flags. I'm just like, I hope I hope that's really what's going on, because we cannot have four years of Kamala Harris. Well, can he do if he does half of half of what he says he's going to do, which he won't do, he'll probably get a quarter done of what he wants to do, it's still going to be better than what we're at now, which is digging ourselves in a rut and just leaving people out to dry. The response to that hurricane is just savage,
Starting point is 00:12:55 what they're doing to these people. Even if he gets none of what he wants to do done, I'm serious, even if he gets none of what he wants to do done and just prevents Democrat policies from being implemented, that's a win. I got to one-up you. If Trump ends up doing nine out of the ten things that Kamala was going to do, it's still a win. It's so bad. The current administration, open borders, the wars are escalating dramatically. The wages adjusted for inflation are way down.
Starting point is 00:13:29 People can't afford to buy groceries. If Trump was like, I'm going to leave everything as it is, but de-escalate wars, it's like, well, I guess we're better off. I mean, it's not hard to do better. He's going to drill. You know we're going to get cheaper gas at the end of this. And cheaper gas means everything else is cheaper. Exactly. That alone is reason enough. It's big oil. But big oil is what runs the world of this. And cheaper gas means everything else is cheaper. Exactly. That alone is reason enough. But big oil is what runs the world
Starting point is 00:13:48 at this point. The arguments from the left, particularly the people that are against oil, they're the arguments of children. They're not serious. They're not adults. They don't think about the things they're talking about. Everything that we
Starting point is 00:14:04 use is made with oil. So I'm all for Teslas. I'm getting a Tesla next year, I think. I love the S. Tim has sold me on them. They're great cars. I back them. You're going to abandon the Jeep game?
Starting point is 00:14:16 They're commuter cars. How could you? They're great local cars. We drive them to D.C. and back with no issues, an hour drive or so. When we took Cybertruck up to Butler, we only needed to charge one time between here and Pittsburgh. We stopped twice just because we wanted to. We were like, we might as well just, you know, top it off. And then we got to, from Pittsburgh,
Starting point is 00:14:36 fully charged to Butler. We were at 88%. And then we powered the War Room podcast. They plugged into Cybertruck, ran the show, and they had a Starlink on top for their backup internet. And then once the show was done, and we couldn't keep the Cybertruck there because you're not in all those cars, we ended up leaving. And I don't know, it was 80%. I mean, it was absolutely fantastic.
Starting point is 00:15:01 I wouldn't recommend hauling serious stuff across the country with a Cybertruck, but for local back and forth stuff, it's super easy. Did you ever see that video where the guy is yelling at the environmental protesters? And he's like, everything you're wearing is made of oil. Your coats are made from oil. Like, what do you... Get rid of them. I mean, we've said this on the show
Starting point is 00:15:20 before, but if you were to stop using petroleum products, like two-thirds of the population of Earth dies because all of the... the chemicals that they use... not the chemicals, but the fertilizers that they use to grow food, they're all
Starting point is 00:15:35 petroleum-based. So it's a ridiculous idea to say, oh, we need to get rid of oil and stuff. Now, that's not to say we can't do things better. Yes, 100%. 100%. But you have to have an oil-based economy. Yeah, it's the just-stop-oil people that are the ones. And I feel like environmentalism used to be the trendy, countercultural movement of generations past,
Starting point is 00:15:55 whereas now it sort of doesn't make sense. I mean, if you really care about oil or emissions, right, you would look at other countries that are really terrible in terms of these things and take them more seriously. Instead, it's always like, you know, the U.S. and Europe, you should probably ban your plastic straws and that will fix it. Meanwhile, India and China and Shangri-La. I mean, let's not forget J.D. Vance in the debate saying if you were serious about the
Starting point is 00:16:18 environment, you would move all manufacturing back to the U.S. where we have the cleanest economy. And this is one of the criticisms with NAFTA, right? That there were all sorts of environmental emissions regulations, but Mexico never followed them and no one ever enforced it. And so therefore, it's just this thing that we do as a weird virtue signal and to give the government more things to regulate. People forget that the most beneficial solutions are usually pro-America solutions. America first solutions.
Starting point is 00:16:44 I just got it did you say shangri-la shangri-la so i love that because for those that don't know shangri-la is an earthly paradise and so i'm like well they maintain their earthly paradise by dumping all their garbage into the ocean it's it's a fictional place in tibet and they're just dumping all their garbage so they can keep it clean you go down the river that's right have you seen some of these there's some of these videos they'll just show this rolling mound of plastic just going through a canal, and you're like, wow, that's
Starting point is 00:17:10 what the uncivilized world is doing. And it's because they haven't set up systems to do that, and maybe we could do that instead of killing people. But the crazy thing, too, is, look, humans build cities on rivers because they're water sources, and our rivers are dirty.
Starting point is 00:17:25 I mean, name a city where you'd go into a downtown river and enjoy a swim. Well, you can in parts of Austin where the spring, the natural spring pops up and then flows into the river, which you don't go swimming in. But that's only one little part. It's messy. So let me show you this real quick before we wrap up on this first part. This is FEMA. On October 4th said $45 million would go to the Hurricane Helene survivors continuing to address critical needs. $45 million.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Now, I'm hearing all these excuses from Democrats where they're like, well, that's what was allocated. It's just $157 was allocated to Lebanon. And I'm like, yeah, we're mad about it. What don't you get? Well, it's Republicans in Congress and it's the Democrats in Congress, too. Democrats have the Senate. They could propose bills and send them to the House. House could do the same thing. Why, for the love of all that's holy, why aren't Republicans just having an emergency session or the speaker getting together and making a press conference saying we need to get Congress back
Starting point is 00:18:22 in here to allocate more funds republicans can put it on democrats or democrats could do the same thing and put on republicans i think i said this the other day but the the very day the very first day that the hurricane hit the president well the president and kamala harris because they're one in the same and and the president is not with us and the speaker of the house and the Majority Leader of the Senate should have been calling for all of Congress to come back to make sure that there was funding. They were just on whatever they call it, leave or whatever,
Starting point is 00:18:54 bring them back and make them do their job for the American people. Their solution seems to be, because Mike Johnson said, we need to give more money to FEMA. Is that going to really help? Do we really want bean counters going in there and trying to help people or do we give it to the states to be honest with you it's better than it's better than doing nothing sure but i think you give this money to the states and let them figure it out because they know how to fix their system but isn't north carolina doing a crap job of it if i understand correctly like
Starting point is 00:19:18 and i'm talking about the north carolina government yeah from what i've seen gone to lebanon is the thing lebanon's $157 million. North Carolina, Florida, Georgia should at least get double that. At least. I mean, at least have people going in there. When Hurricane Rita hit 2007, it hit southwest Louisiana where my parents lived. And within two days, the National Guard had gone through and cut, because 30% of the trees fell down in this area, went and cut all the roads out.
Starting point is 00:19:48 They had everything bulldozed to the side so people could get through in two days. In two days. And, you know, they're saying they can't do that and we're two weeks into this? Again, I mentioned this just the other night. Look, during the Berlin airlift, they had an airplane landing in Berlin every 30 seconds. In the 40s. In the 40s. In the 40s. So don't tell me that we can't take care of the people that are suffering in North Carolina.
Starting point is 00:20:08 OK, hold on, Phil. We can take care of the people that are suffering. Just not North Carolina. We got the story. We got the story for the post-millennial Biden. Harris admin brags about keeping Ukraine's power on as Americans face outages. I'd like to just offer up a free public relations lesson for a freebie, just freebie. I mean, I could consult on this. My rate would be very high.
Starting point is 00:20:33 But Biden, Harris and the White House do not brag about giving millions of dollars of American taxpayer money to foreign countries when Americans are dying due to a lack of resources following natural disasters and with an impending category five about to slam into Florida. Because I got to tell you, you might actually improve your favorability ratings if you heed my advice. We got this quote. This is, let me read a little bit. Samantha Power, how Americans are helping Ukraine keep the lights and heat on despite Putin's attacks. There's a quote up there, and it says, I'm here in an energy substation in the western region of Ukraine. This substation provides enough power for around 500,000 residents in the area. I believe there's about a quarter million people who still need electricity in North Carolina.
Starting point is 00:21:21 So you mean to tell me you're giving double the resources that we need for our own people in this country to Ukraine? Well, thank you. It's all about rubbing it in our faces and saying Americans are worthless unless we accept the entire world into our home. Bosom.
Starting point is 00:21:35 That's it. Accept them. I just think people are tired of the Americans come second mentality, right? This idea that we have to put Lebanon and Ukraine and everybody else first. You know, it was one thing when most of the country or a huge portion of the country wasn't in the middle of having to deal with a natural disaster. People were like, oh, we feel a moral
Starting point is 00:21:54 obligation. But right now, people's neighbors, relatives, friends are suffering and the federal government's priority is outside the country. Well, and even before with these illegals going in and they're bringing them to different cities and just putting them into hotels and treating them better than, you know, the citizens who are homeless sitting outside. Yeah. And people see this. And then this hurricane response is just another it's another cherry on top for people.
Starting point is 00:22:17 They're just rubbing your face in it. I love it. I love how we have this story and it goes viral last week. It's, you know, FEMA was spent $650 million on illegal alien resettlement in this country. And the Democrats immediately with their smug faces go, gotcha. That money wasn't from FEMA. It was only allocated by FEMA. And it's just like, I don't think the substance of our complaints is any different.
Starting point is 00:22:40 The federal government as an entire institution is either giving money to noncitizens or sending it overseas. I don't care which pool of money it came from. They say it was CBP allotted fundings for resettlement. Why are we giving CBP have a billion dollars for resettlement and FEMA not having more? And why can't we get anyone in government to, I don't know, do something? Biden could come out right now and do a press conference and say it's time to act we need emergency action right now and so we will be taking funds from a b or c to help these people and it bring his favorability rating up from the base but you know what i'm here's my conspiracy theory harris is trying to lose okay she she wants to lose and the media is just pretending like
Starting point is 00:23:22 the media wants her to win but you know you know, the Democrats want her to win. And she's, her and Biden are like, we are done. We are out. Because I cannot believe any sane person running for president would do the things they're doing right now. Unless they're really out of touch, right? I mean, this is what I have always wondered about the staff supporting Kamala Harris. If you are the most progressive candidate, you know, you get selected,
Starting point is 00:23:43 you're the most progressive Democrat that was running. Now you're the most progressive VP that's been there. And you select staffers who are also therefore supportive of your ideals, who do not seem to have any kind of empathy for the average American, let alone conservative Americans. You must look at the world and say everything they're talking about is ridiculous. My priorities are the only ones that matter. There's no ability to relate to anyone else. So they cannot script her in a way that makes her relatable to an independent or moderate voter. They don't know what those people want and they don't really care. That's true.
Starting point is 00:24:13 They're speaking to their base. And, you know, 30 percent of the people, I think, are their base. No problem. I think it might be scarier than all this. It may be them saying we can literally do anything we want because we control your elections. That's what I'm afraid of. And we control your media who will tell you what the election results are, whether you like it or not. There's enough people, there are enough people that are, you know, normies that are not politically engaged
Starting point is 00:24:34 that still vote because they believe it's their sacred right to vote, even though they intentionally remain ignorant about policy and the the and world events but there are enough people that they can just put msnbc and nbc and cbs put the the the narrative out to those major news networks and they will be able to influence enough people to win the vote we know that it's down to you know maybe maybe a quarter million people in a handful of states are going to decide the actual election everybody else is basically you know has already made their decision they've already you know there's not going to be a significant event that's going to change people's minds or at least it's unlikely maybe florida well i mean i don't even know about that but i mean i
Starting point is 00:25:23 would i would i hope that what is going on in North Carolina would. But I don't feel confident in that because I really mean there was I thought that the Trump assassination attempt would. And I was literally blown away when I saw how many people are like, oh, no, Trump staged that. Like a dude died, man. Like a dude died and two other dudes got shot. And like they're just like no he staged it that was a fake thing there was no gun there was no shooter like you could see his body on the roof the same day they're like no it was all staged so i'm not convinced that there is that there are
Starting point is 00:25:59 there's a significant number of people that put a lot of thought into what i said last friday i think most people vote with their with emotions even people that think that they don't vote with emotions. I think they mostly do. And, you know, this is this is why I've lost the the knee jerk support of democracy. Not that there's anything better. It's just that you can't get democracy is no guarantee for a good outcome. It's just a guarantee that there's a majority outcome. And if the majority is selecting the outcome, you have a smaller chance of the people freaking out and rioting. Democracy is no good. Democratic institutions, I would say a constitutional republic with democratic electoral processes seem to function well. But we have a rather complicated system of governance. Three branches and balances we've got state level governance federal level governance
Starting point is 00:26:48 it's made not to move fast it's made to be slow and methodical and so so things get planned out right but they don't obviously so people have people have taken that model and it's been turned i think on its head of what it should be. Yeah. You know, this representational form of government used to be, you had to be a landowner to vote. And I'm, I'm kind of, yeah, it was,
Starting point is 00:27:09 you have skin in the game, you have skin in the game. And if you are, you know, just being a, you know, a wage slave working and living in an apartment, do you have as much invested in what's going on around you as a guy who owns,
Starting point is 00:27:20 you know, three farms and who's feeding, you know, 1300 people in his community, you know, you don't, you, and so should that guy 1,300 people in his community. You don't. And so should that guy have – should his vote count more? I don't know. Back in the day it made sense when we were talking about a community voting
Starting point is 00:27:33 on what matters to them. So it's like do you live here was the question. Once we get into the time of rentals, then I think it makes sense to say, no, just not landowners. The idea of some kind of restriction to make sure that people are voting who have skin in the game makes a lot of sense. Right now, the problem we have is you can move to an area. Heck, you could probably apply for a mail-in vote in a place you don't even live. This is the crazy thing that there are people who live somewhere and move and they still get a mail-in ballot.
Starting point is 00:27:58 There are people who have gotten mail-in ballots to other states for a different state. And there are people who, as Andrew Yang said, I'm going to move to Georgia so I can influence the election, then leave. And it's like, what's, what is the point? Is that democracy? I'm going to show up.
Starting point is 00:28:10 I don't live here, but I get to vote and how you live your life and then leave. There's no rule saying I can't do it. So I'm going to do it, even though it doesn't just, it doesn't seem right. Why would you, why would you act like that?
Starting point is 00:28:19 If democracy was honored, if it was, it was among honorable and noble men. And I mean men in the grand sense of humanity. So this is like if women and men of good honor were going to have a vote on things, then I think it could work. Where you basically have everyone gets together and they say, let's all discuss things calmly and rationally. The only problem is humans are a calm and rational entity. There are a lot of people who are just downright stupid and angry. And then that gets thrown into the mix. And then you get too much of that, you get chaos. So there has to be some degree, some restriction on how we vote. And I think it
Starting point is 00:28:55 should be simple. We take one little hurdle, just one. We put it right in front and say, do you really want to vote? We're going to make a little difficult, but not really that difficult. And then guess what happens? Most people say, nah, I don't want to jump over that hurdle. Takes too much effort. Too much effort. And if it takes too much effort for you to consider getting an ID, for instance, then maybe you shouldn't vote. Most people are familiar with the man on the street stuff that Jimmy Kimmel has done, right? That's your average voter. The people that don't know the difference between a continent
Starting point is 00:29:23 and a country. I don't believe that. You don't think so? Nah, it's all edited to make people look really dumb. You know, when you... I think when you ask people questions about politics and when you ask them questions about current events, average people that are generally intelligent,
Starting point is 00:29:38 they will fall to that level. I tried doing some man-on-the-street stuff when I was working for Fusion and found that it was completely a waste of time. Because unless you're there all day intending on finding stupid people to fabricate your narrative, the average person is of average intelligence, as you'd expect. Meaning, if you say something like, what's a country? What's a continent? If you got someone who didn't know, they'd be like, oh, man, you know, honestly, it's been a long time since I've dealt with this stuff. I work in accounting, so I don't really go over geography.
Starting point is 00:30:03 I sound like an idiot. I'm sorry. And then you're like, well, I can't use that. You need someone to sound like a moron. Confidently sound like a moron. Exactly, exactly. And it's...
Starting point is 00:30:10 You need a one-liner blip that you can throw. A lot of these men in the street stuff, they do target people who they think are going to be stupid. And because that makes the average... I'll put it this way. The average person is average.
Starting point is 00:30:22 The average person watching a video needs to feel like they're a smart person, not an average person. So they target the back end of the bell curve and then show that to average people so they feel like they're smart. Fair enough, but I think that we all can agree that most people are disengaged. We all know that the portion of the population that shows like this and shows like stuff that the Daily Wire produces, they're targeting a very narrow section of the population that are politically engaged. You're talking about 5% on the high end, you know, maybe 10, right? Maybe. And you're trying to get, you know, 50 to 60% of the population to vote is like a 50% vote to vote.
Starting point is 00:31:03 It turned out it was really, really good. I mean, we see this with midterm elections, right? Yeah, exactly. It's always lower. People are more engaged during national elections. Maybe you have to vote in midterms. Sorry to cut you off. Maybe you have to vote in midterms to be allowed to vote in the presidential election. You have to consistently participate. Bouts are blank. You have to have a punch card.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Bouts are blank. Anybody can vote. Everybody vote. No IDs required, but bouts or blank. You have to know who you're voting for. Probably John Smith is running in so many races. And you have to know who to vote for. And for which position, too. And you've got to spell their name right.
Starting point is 00:31:32 Sally was. Well, let me do this. Oh, easy, Tigers. Spell their name right. Come on, man. So we got this from the Daily Beast. Call Her Daddy faces backlash over propaganda Harris interview. Some fans of the hugely popular podcast are angry
Starting point is 00:31:45 that the vice president did not address the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. Interesting. Well, how many of you are you guys familiar with the Call Her Daddy podcast? Tim looks directly at me. Yeah. Well, you were looking at me. I don't know. No, I'm just kidding. I'm being singled out because I'm female. I'm familiar with it. It's not one that I listen to, but it is definitely targeted at a female, a young female audience. So there's this clip going viral where it's basically Alex Cooper, the host talking with a woman about, you know, like women doing things with women that are of adult nature. And they're like, it's funny because people are saying Donald Trump declined to go on the show. And I'm like, gee, why would Donald
Starting point is 00:32:20 Trump decline to go on a women's sex podcast? Could you imagine if I was like, hey, Donald Trump, I got a skateboard podcast. Do you want to come on and talk about skateboarding and Magic the Gathering? He'd be like, no. I'd be like, how dare you? Well, you know, he can maybe help you sell even more of those. That would be the one thing I think he could add to the. I'm actually surprised Trump said no, because he's like, I'll go on anything. But, you know, we were just talking about the other segment about how the most people are disengaged. And so I ask you, good Phil, good Sir Phil, you were saying that we're trying to get people engaged. Call her daddy. And the podcast with Kamala is what happens when you try to get people who don't know or care what's going on engaged. They say really dumb things and then
Starting point is 00:32:59 vote for really bad stuff. Yes. Yes, I agree. Totally. And I don't know that I don't know that that I think we should be trying to get people engaged. I think we should be trying to convince people that are not engaged that they shouldn't vote. If you're not engaged. You're like the opposite of a voter turnout campaign. Look, man. Rock the Vote was the dumbest thing that ever happened on MTV. And they came up with, like, reality television.
Starting point is 00:33:22 They got Clinton elected. They did. Let me show you guys a clip from her podcast and you can understand why there's a backlash let it begin i want to pose this question more to you and the daddy gang but one of the biggest conversations in this year's election revolves around a woman's body yep i want to take a moment and can we try to think of any law that gives the government the power to make a decision about a man's body? The Selective Service Act. Anyway, continue, Alex Cooper.
Starting point is 00:33:59 No. No. Is there any law? No. No. No. No. Are they mandating Zuby had a right Zuby had a really great thread where he said that uh and shout out to Zuby you guys should follow him he said that men I'll give you a paraphrase men are like men are told the truth all the time no one has any sympathy for men they don't care if a guy is overweight and ugly. They're going to say you're short, overweight and ugly. We don't care about you. But women get
Starting point is 00:34:28 lied to all the time by women and men, men who are trying to hook up and women who are trying to push them out of competition or just avoid conflict. So you end up with stuff like this. Alex Cooper hosts a show where she discusses like general interest topic stuff for women, dating, sex, sexuality. She's those are her words. She interviews the vice president and current Democratic candidate for the election coming up in less than a month. And she never Google searched this. And so she's got millions of listeners and millions of followers. And she may as well be drooling into the microphone. Okay, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Okay, voting should not be easy. Voting should not be hard, but it should not be easy. I think ballots should be blank. That's it. You can go vote. You don't need an ID. Paper ballots, and they're blank. You get a blank sheet of paper, and it says write down the candidate, write the position they're running for, and that's your vote.
Starting point is 00:35:22 And guess what? Every single one of Alex Cooper's listeners would go to the voting booth, look at the piece of paper, and go, I got no idea what's going on. I can't pass this test. I'm out. I think this is an embarrassing moment, but beyond the fact that she couldn't think of the draft as something that would affect men exclusively, I think it's embarrassing that these are two women who are being sold to American girls as girl bosses, right?
Starting point is 00:35:45 Alex Cooper sold her show to Spotify for something like two hundred and fifty million dollars. And she is reading scripted questions that were provided by Kamala Harris's campaign about abortion as if there were no other issues that impact women. Right. She's a businesswoman. She's worth two hundred and fifty million dollars at least. Is she going to ask about capital gains tax? Is she going to ask about illegal immigration? No. They keep women siloed to this one issue, and it's, I think, to keep them kind of compliant and stupid.
Starting point is 00:36:18 As a podcast nerd myself, having run a podcast business, her deal was over several years, and the trick is, my friends, I'll let you in on some inside baseball. When you hear that someone scored this big contract, it's a $10 million contract. What they're not telling you is how much of that was compensation. Because the tricks they do is they'll say, here's what we're going to do. We're going to pay you $2 million a year. So you'll get over three years, $6 million cash. We'll put $50 million per year into advertising Spotify with you as a feature in it, which is a $150 million value. Thus, you have a $156 million contract. And then we're going to announce it to everybody.
Starting point is 00:36:50 It makes you sound really famous and popular. And the marketing will be good for you. And you'll be in Times Square. And they go, deal. But we don't know how much money she actually got out of that deal. But the podcast is only part of her brand. First, she got this whole deal with, it was Barstool first, then to Spotify. I think it was on Sirius at one point. She's also built her platform as an influencer. So she makes however
Starting point is 00:37:09 much money of every brand deal. I mean, there is no doubt that this is a multimillionaire. And the only thing that she could come up to or at least be told by the Harris campaign that women are interested in is what abortion and being mad at men. I doesn't that seem like it's a disservice to all so it was uh what you're describing i'm sorry her deal was 125 million dollars over three years so about 40 40 some odd million per year how much of that is stock how much of that is marketing uh guarantees how much of that is in some way deferred how much is direct compensation how much of that is staffing you You know, these deals sound like they're making tons of money,
Starting point is 00:37:47 but you are right. Her Instagram is three million. She's selling that. She's probably making, let me just do some quick math. What, 20 million, $30 million a year cash? Nah, I think she's probably
Starting point is 00:37:56 doing more than 30. She might be doing $50 million a year. I don't know how much of that is going to go into her production costs and everything, but I'd imagine probably 50 million a year sounds about right. Right. Plus the merch, plus the tour. I think that's all of it. And her wedding was featured in Vogue. I mean, like there are tons of ways this person is making
Starting point is 00:38:13 money that are not accessible to, you know, the average political podcaster or something else, which is totally fine. Like she built an empire. I again, I just go back to the fact that, you know, normally and I don't watch her show, but I have seen clips, she's on a couch and wearing full sweatpants. And for Kamala Harris, she has heels on, is in some sort of stiffer chair, and is taking questions that Kamala Harris has pre-agreed to answer. To me, it's like she's not even sticking by the values that seem to build up her empire. Hold on. Alex Cooper said they were not pre-scripted and nothing was off limits. I don't believe her at all.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Do you? I do. Yeah, I think I think Alex Cooper is with all due respect. She's a savvy business person who is the best at what she does. And that is certainly not politics. So, look, I got to be honest. If I said, Phil, you've played magic before, right? Have you kept up with Magic the Gathering?
Starting point is 00:39:02 Not lately. I would like you to interview the current world champion of Magic the Gathering. I'm not worried about any scandalous questions. No. Because you wouldn't know what scandals there are going on to even ask. You'd say things like, what are the new cards that are coming out? Is there anything I should know? What's the most valuable card right now?
Starting point is 00:39:19 All she knows, Alex Cooper, is that she wants to get an abortion. So they knew going in, they didn't give her any preset questions. She's going to ask about abortion and some other garbled nonsense because she doesn't fact check anything. And it's not her job to. She's a sex gossiper, you know, like sex and commentary and gossip. And I'm not trying to say that disparagingly. I'm saying she's the best at what she does, but that's her space. I mean, I'm not going to go on her show and try and school her on any of this stuff because I got no idea. Right. And she's talking about women who want to go down on each other or whatever. I'm not kidding. And like, that's what she does. I'll be like, hey, that's your territory.
Starting point is 00:39:51 And she made tons of money doing it. I mean, it's not that she has not been successful in her field. I mean, maybe you're right. Maybe she they just knew she wasn't going to ask anything of substance. And she was going to stick to all of the sort of basic these impact women talking points. I just think it's a missed opportunity. I mean, if this is really I think I read going to stick to all of the sort of basic these impact women talking points i just think it's a missed opportunity i mean if this is really uh i think i read this quote from from one of the interview where she says i just couldn't imagine um an election where women's rights were a major talking point and i wasn't involved like if you are the savior of women why did you do such a bad job abortion is the fifth fifth issue i gotta say when tim, groceries is number one, number one, immigration and
Starting point is 00:40:29 wages like economic factors dominate. Abortion is like what is it? What is it like six percent or some ridiculously small number? The only reason excuse me, the only reason abortion does does what they continue to talk about abortion is because it's a fear of fear tactic they're trying to scare women that are you know generally thinking what if i might need an abortion that's why that it goes for you know even women that are married or women that are you know in committed relationships that wouldn't have an abortion like they still use it to convince them because there's
Starting point is 00:41:01 the situation is well what if you needed one? What if you got? But they never fix that problem. They never go, we're going to make it legal or illegal. It's always, well, we'll just kind of keep it up in the air so we can use it as an election issue. We can bring more people to the polls and go, oh, they're going to take away your rights to go. And it's not abortion anymore.
Starting point is 00:41:16 It's women's rights, which they then tag on to everything. Right after Roe was repealed, it was overturned. It was, well, it's not just abortion. It's the birth control pill. Oh, well, it's not justed. It was, well, it's not just abortion. It's the birth control pill. Oh, well, it's not just the abortion birth control. Well, it's fertility treatments. I mean, it became this ever expansive issue, which is very fear based. Like, what if you need these things?
Starting point is 00:41:33 What are you going to do if they maybe take them away in the future? But again, like if this is the big women's podcast of our generation, I get that maybe you would devote a little bit of time to this. But why did you miss all the other major issues? What about all the women who are listening to you are like, wow, Alex, you're an amazing businesswoman. I want to do that too one day. Why wouldn't you ask about the economy?
Starting point is 00:41:51 Why wouldn't you ask about housing? That's one thing Kamala knows about is her small business plan. You think they would have talked about that? Yes, her opportunity economy. Yeah, ridiculous. So, pop quiz hot shots. Call Her Daddy released a segment with the Kamala Harris, from the Kamala Harris interview
Starting point is 00:42:11 on their show, on her show on YouTube. How many views did she get in 24 hours on her mega Kamala Harris interview? Six million. Yeah, on YouTube. You had six million? Six million, million? What do you say, Phil?
Starting point is 00:42:28 Not cheating, are you? No, no, no. Looking up Call Her Daddy podcast? I have not. Click and subscribe? I'm going to go with 10. 10 views? 10 million. Are you guys joking? I feel like I'll give it like 100,000, maybe. 260,000. Wow.
Starting point is 00:42:43 I totally overblew that one. Yeah. Wow. But that says a lot. That's actually a good sign. So here's the Call Her Daddy podcast, which, look, I got to say this is really interesting. That's not the whole interview. That's the clip.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Is that overall? The whole interview is not up. Is that overall? All the platforms are like Apple, Spotify? No, no, no, no, no. On YouTube, a segment was released from the Kamala Harris interview. It's eight minutes long. It got 260,000 views, but it's titled Vice President Kamala Harris on her channel.
Starting point is 00:43:11 It's not the full thing. They put up a clip. It's really fascinating to me when I see this. I do believe that I think the podcast industry, like most industries, is fake and manipulation of stupid people by anyone who's willing to actually play that game. So Call Her Daddy has 981,000 subscribers. That's actually considered not a big channel on YouTube. And look, we have 2 million here on Timcast IRL. We're considered a medium to large, not kidding, in the industry when people are talking, it's like, oh, you're like a medium to large size. The larger podcasts have 7, 8 million or more, 10 million on YouTube.
Starting point is 00:43:49 I'm not talking specifically about podcasts. But to do an interview with Kamala Harris and only get 260K in a day, that is shocking. That's actually really surprising. That's why I asked you guys. Did they post this on X? I don't know. I don't know. I'm just saying for YouTube because I know YouTube numbers.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Right. Well, X, I think it would be more inflated. I think I was thinking that would be an X number, would be 6 million. I assume that it would have gotten a lot of shares on your mainstream media news. I'm sure it did. And stuff like that. And audio side is interesting. So I'll tell you what's really fascinating about the media industry. while we're here, because I'm such a nerd on this stuff.
Starting point is 00:44:27 We research it every day. We're we live it every single day running a podcast. What what are the numbers, the ratings for top shows now? Historically, television shows, cable shows, news shows have always released their ratings telling you here's how many people we believe watch on youtube on instagram on x every single one of these platforms they all tell you what the ratings are it is it is forward-facing podcasts are the only systems for whatever reason that obfuscate their true ratings but you know why because they they count they count subscribers as automatic listeners that's one thing so if you subscribe to? Because they count subscribers as automatic listeners. That's one thing. So if you subscribe to a podcast, they're like, well, they already listened to it. They subscribed to it because it went to their folders, and we call that a view. It's very weird how the
Starting point is 00:45:14 podcast industry works in that you can look at Apple Podcasts right now, and I'm going to give you guys some deep lore right here. iTunes was the biggest in the game for a long time. Currently, YouTube has taken over as the number one podcasting platform, which is nuts. It's kind of crazy. Spotify has just skyrocketed to second place,
Starting point is 00:45:34 and iTunes has collapsed down to third place. Of the big three places to consume podcasts, iTunes is actually way down, which is interesting because Apple Podcasts... They kind of folded into music, too,
Starting point is 00:45:44 didn't they? That's probably part of the problem. I think that's part of the thing. Oh, well, I can tell you... Apple Music sucks. Most people who watch our show on the audio side are, I should say listen, are listening on Apple Podcasts. Right.
Starting point is 00:45:55 So that's why I say, you know, if you're listening on Apple Podcasts, leave us a good review because we never ask and we should. But the fascinating thing is I think the numbers are way worse than people realize. And I think people are making assumptions about how big these shows are. What I can tell you is I don't know where we're at now, but six or so years ago, the number one podcast was Joe Rogan. And on the audio side, I could be totally wrong. I don't know anything about Joe. I believe it was around a million downloads per episode. And then the second and third were like 500, 300. And then it dropped significantly from there. It's an exponential gain. The top podcast got overwhelmingly the most. And then you go down.
Starting point is 00:46:36 I can tell you this. There was a point where the Tim Pool Morning Show was the 34th biggest podcast in the world. And that was when I did a show every, uh, every day, no days off. And before Tim cast, I rel existed. How many views do you think we got per episode as the 30, as the peak position number 34 in the world? What year, what year? This is, this is, uh, four, let's say five years ago. Five years ago. Five years ago. And this is when Apple was, you know, really, really big. And Tim Pool Morning Show, which for those that don't know, it's my morning monologuing show.
Starting point is 00:47:13 Yeah, covering news. Right. So number 34 in the world. What do you guys think per episode? 220. 220? No guesses? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:47:22 75,000. Wow. 75,000 views on a two-hour show, and we were ranked number 34. And I know, because I worked with other networks, and when we did ad stuff, that some of the top five were getting a couple hundred thousand. Timcast IRL does 300 overnight.
Starting point is 00:47:39 We went to Friday night. The one you have is like 350 already. Because people love Brimcast? People love Brimcast. Is that what you're telling me? My point of bringing all this stuff up is the media, the corporate press, pretends that these shows are massive. And they do these deals because this is what they want people to strive for to get these big deals. And then you don't see Timcast IRL or even Daily Wire shows featured in any of these big networks, even though the Daily Wire shows audio set are massive.
Starting point is 00:48:09 And TimCast IRL, right. I will say this. I will say that. I got to pause. TimCast IRL is currently featured on the front on YouTube's live front page. So we are you go to YouTube live. Boom. TimCast IRL is playing.
Starting point is 00:48:19 Temple Morning Show is playing. I thank you, YouTube, for whatever, whatever reason. That's the first time in in years. I mean, this was not standard for a long time. For us, I honestly, I, thank you, YouTube, for whatever, whatever reason. That's the first time in years. I mean, this was not standard for a long time. Honestly, I don't know. What I can tell you is in the past week, people messaged us being like, hey, you guys are being featured on YouTube Live. YouTube has a default live player when you go to YouTube Live, and it's us.
Starting point is 00:48:38 And I was like, shout out, YouTube. YouTube wants Alex Jones back, secretly. That's what it is. They made a lot of money off him. Oh, they did. Of course they did. They were showing background stuff, and it was billions of views with what he was doing back in before YouTube was crazy. But you know what happened?
Starting point is 00:48:55 It was Wall Street Journal. They launched the adpocalypse where they started targeting YouTube relentlessly. Sleeping giants. Yes. But Wall Street Journal was running these stories, saying that YouTube is running ads alongside the likes of Alex Jones and other far right. The advertisers said, we don't know what you're doing or why. We don't want to be involved. And before
Starting point is 00:49:14 that, advertisers were happy. They didn't care because they were getting the numbers. The sales were working. This is crazy. We can go back seven years. It used to be, let's say seven years ago, seven years ago, you could, let's go back seven years. It used to be, let's say seven years ago, seven years ago, you could, let's go back 10 years, one cent per view. You're an advertiser.
Starting point is 00:49:32 You got a brand new product. You could put a dollar on YouTube and get 100 views on your product. Sales were cheap to get. Then the apocalypse happened. YouTube got attacked relentlessly. And they said, you need to delete all of these channels, namely Alex Jones. They were like 100 million views a month. We don't want ads appearing on that, and we're going to attack you and attack your stock until you get rid of it.
Starting point is 00:49:55 And this shattered YouTube inventory. YouTube used to have too many videos to advertise on, so the cost per ad was one cent. Wow. Now, if you wanted a premium position, like I want to be on CNN or whatever, big premium that could be upwards of 40 bucks for per thousand. Sorry. Now you're not really going to get those numbers anymore because the adpocalypse wiped everything out and YouTube started having, well, not having to, but started banning tons of channels. And so now you're left with what you're left with, I guess. But anyway, long story short, my point in all this is the reason why I showed the Call Her Daddy at
Starting point is 00:50:29 260K, this stuff is not popular, okay? When they put WAP and all these nasty songs where like Lil Nas X is banging the devil and stuff, and they want to tell you this is popular, it is to a certain degree, but it's artificially being inflated because they want to control the cultural narrative. So they say, the biggest podcast, it's number one. Well, I got to tell you, if you look at Apple, Call Her Daddy is number one. If you look at Spotify, it's, I think, number 10. I could be wrong. It could be higher than that. But on Spotify, Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, I think Ben Shapiro dominate the top. And Spotify has taken over for where people are getting their podcasts. So I just want to wrap that up by saying, don't believe all of this stuff is
Starting point is 00:51:16 culturally dominant. It is being manufactured to convince you you are the underdog and you are on the outside. When in fact fact I think X shows how true things really are. Every single time I see a pollster, like there's like a new, they'll be like, who are you voting for? A Krasnclone poll. It's just boom Trump. And then everyone says, well it's because X is
Starting point is 00:51:38 a right-wing platform. Since when? Like, do you really expect me to believe that 70 million liberals quit X and 70 million conservatives joined X when Elon Musk bought it? No. Don't buy it for a second. No, because they didn't launch an alternative. I mean, when people—
Starting point is 00:51:51 And maybe let a couple million accounts back on. Right. When people were getting kicked off of X, I mean, we saw—I mean, obviously there's truth social, but we saw a lot of rise of alternative where people were like, you know, X is not allowing free speech. Elon Musk bought it, and I don't know of any liberals who were like, please join us on our alternative to being Elon Musk. They tried to go to Blue Sky. There was the attempt to make Mastodon a thing, which didn't work
Starting point is 00:52:13 because that's too complex for your average journalist. Then there was Blue Sky, which I think was Dorsey's attempt to do a liberal Twitter or whatever. I think Threads has some viewerships or some... Oliver Darcy's on Threads. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Threads is like auto-posting people's stuff there. I hate it. They take my posts from Instagram and they put them onto Threads. I want to jump to this Elon story real quick, but I do want to say one thing. Guys, everyone is manipulating you. It's the name of the game.
Starting point is 00:52:45 And so when it comes to ad sales, everybody's lying about everything. They're trying to find ways to make it seem like they're bigger than they are so they can blame the advertiser if the product won't move. It's a struggle, it is. I want to say one thing particularly.
Starting point is 00:52:59 I was at the Butler rally. It was awesome. We brought Cybertruck. We had to power the War Room podcast. And I saw something from Elon Musk. He tweeted something like 12 million live viewers. Twitter changed their viewer metric on live streams from concurrent to total viewership and didn't. And they did it in such a way that most your average person doesn't know. So when we on IRL did a live stream on X and it got 800,000 views, we had people hitting us up like crazy saying you had 800,000 people
Starting point is 00:53:34 watching live. Why aren't you only going on X? And I'm like, no, that is not not what happened. We had 800,000 total viewers and the retention rate for X is very low. The concurrent rate was was moderate. I think we had 17000 concurrent viewers. They changed it. And for this reason, in my opinion, and I'm a fan of Elon Musk, but when he tweets 12 million live viewers or when people say something like, wow, a million people are watching a million people watched.
Starting point is 00:54:05 But it's a but I got to tell you, in the industry right now, talking with some of the big shots at various networks, they are pissed that Elon Musk did this because it is basically like a dirty play. It's like, what would you describe it? It's angle shooting in poker.
Starting point is 00:54:20 Way to pull more money out of the advertising. So all the other networks are sitting here being like, we can't change our concurrent metric the way he did it's it's it's because then people get false assumptions about viewership size and ad sales and it's disruptive to our market but elon did so when you go live on x that number where it shows a little person and the number is going up is your total viewership and not your concurrent viewership which are two different numbers but then people believe that oh man i better go on x because i get way more viewers then you look in the back end you look
Starting point is 00:54:54 in your studio and you're like oh it's actually a lot less and part of the part of the reason is because people know youtube is where like people get used to going to the same place so like when people think of timcast or irl they're going to go to youtube because that's where they're familiar with it and it's a similar phenomenon when it comes to like concerts like like shows underground shows if you're if you have a venue that consistently hosts hardcore bands or metal bands everyone knows oh i hear this band's going on tour let me check the venue I know that has those bands to see if they're coming to my town. If for some reason they're at a venue that doesn't normally host those bands, people will oftentimes miss the tour or whatever. Let's jump to this story from the Post Millennial.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Elon Musk says the reason Kamala has so much powerful support is because Epstein client list will come out under Trump. This is epic. See, you know, and I was, I, you know, I'm critical of Elon where I think I need to be, but I'm a huge fan. And this is an epic takedown of, what did you talk, Reid Hoffman and Bill Gates? Will that ever come out, do you think?
Starting point is 00:55:58 You know, I think part of why Kamala's getting so much support is that if Trump wins, that Ep FC inclined list is going to become public That's awesome of those billionaires behind Kamala are terrified of that outcome, yeah, do you think Reid Hoffman's uncomfortable? Yes Gates and Gates, yeah And I only asked that because you can certainly just look at them and you're like that that's a nervous person right there I don't know. I mean, I assume you know them. Yeah. And I only ask that because you can just look at them and you're like, that's a nervous person right there. I don't know. I mean, I assume you know them. Yeah. Yes. Rehauf was my vice president of business development at PayPal. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:56:35 Four years ago. Does he seem nervous to you? Yeah. I mean, he's terrified of a Trump victory. Because of the disclosure that would follow? I think, yeah, I mean, I think he's certainly ideologically not aligned with Trump anyway. But I think he is concerned about the Epstein situation. There you go. Gates and Hoffman and many others are concerned that Trump is going to release that information.
Starting point is 00:57:07 He said he would. Oh, yeah. Trump said he would do it. Well, now you got the one-two punch. You got Diddy and Epstein. You don't have to even really like Trump at all to want Trump to win just because of the things that would happen under a Trump president. You can hate Trump all you want.
Starting point is 00:57:21 But if the client list is going to come out, you know that generally the economy is probably going to do better because it's a more friendly business environment than a Harris presidency would be. The likelihood is the cost of gas is going to go down. The cost of everything else will likely go down because of the the the increased production of of of fossil fuels and and it's just the the list of things that are likely to happen under a trump presidency completely and totally independent of donald trump himself like it's enough reason to be like i want you you can have economic reasons for wanting to vote for trump but the reality is if you do not like the way things are right now meaning meaning that there is no transparency on the Epstein situation, that things are very expensive, that people are generally pretty
Starting point is 00:58:09 hopeless, that people are concerned about crime and schools and increasing tensions out where you wouldn't then vote for the current VP. You need to vote for Trump, which is this fascinating position that he's in because he is both an experienced president and also the alternative to the current situation. You know, there's, you know, one other president in history, right, that's been able to do this where he didn't serve. He served twice, but not consecutively. And I actually think in this case, that is one of the reasons that there are a lot of
Starting point is 00:58:39 people who don't necessarily love Trump, but look at Kamala Harris as an extension of the Biden and therefore the Obama and therefore the overarching DNC machine that has kept them in the dark and kept them paying for a lot of stuff. And they're kind of frustrated with it. Well, and it's interesting to see how the billionaires are drawing sides because there's some billionaires that are for Trump, but not too many. There's not too many billionaires that are for Trump. It seems to be the average man because they want to see what's behind the curtain, because we've been hearing about, how long have we been hearing about Epstein? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:09 You know, 15 years. Now we have this Diddy stuff, which has been out there, if you were looking for the seeds that were being planted. Eminem. Yeah, what was that Eminem lyric? He's like, R-A-P-E-R, did I just spell rapper without the P, Diddy? Yeah. Or something like that.
Starting point is 00:59:24 And it's like, oh, whoa. There's a lot of stuff. And I think this whole indictment, the original indictment by the DOJ was just to grab all the evidence and hide it. And hopefully there's copies out there, but to get to keep that out of the limelight while this, you know, so there's
Starting point is 00:59:39 no October surprise of, oh, now we have videos and names. Yeah, I mean, the judge said that the reason that he was withholding the client list is because of the damage to society, essentially the damage to society that it would do if the list got out. And that is a completely and totally ridiculous reason to... Right. It's like when Biden says, oh, well, and Harris, Biden and Harris both say, oh, well, we're
Starting point is 01:00:03 not going to go tour the impacted areas the areas impacted by hurricane helene because we don't want to interrupt emergency services right like all presidents are able to pull this off somehow without being a distraction from emergency services it seems like perhaps you just don't want to and so therefore you have come up with some sort of fake altruistic excuse. The judge is saying, oh, I don't want to. What it could do to society. But actually what it means is like, I don't want to have to deal. My name's on that list. Right.
Starting point is 01:00:31 And I don't want to deal with the fact that you'll find out that I took donations from whoever. Like there are all kinds of ways people are self-serving in the name while pretending to be for the people. This song is from 2024 called Fuel, Eminem and J.I.D. And one of the lyrics is, I'm like a R.A.P.E.R. Got so many essays, essays. Wait, he didn't just spell the word rapper and leave out a P, did he? Rest in peace. R.I.P. Rest in peace, Biggie. Yeah, he's saying it outright. I mean, there's been a lot of a lot of rumors that have gone around for a long time. It's not something that, you know, is foreign to people in the rap or the music business world. And this is why so many prominent pop stars just came out in support of Kamala Harris. I, you know, look, a lot of people like Taylor Swift comes out and
Starting point is 01:01:16 she's just like, I'm going to vote for Harris. And it was kind of, I don't know, flaccid. Like she didn't make a very strong case for it, just made her post with a dog or with her cat or whatever. And then you had a couple other people say, well, I think Jojo Siwa was like, what did she say? Like, it's so great of you to endorse, but didn't endorse directly. But then you had-
Starting point is 01:01:36 Billie Eilish endorsed her. Billie Eilish. Sort of lackluster. You had the most aggressive, I think, was Hayley Williams of Paramore, who walks into the camera and then just spits this like misinformation spiel. Donald Trump's Project 2025 wants to take the rights away from women, poor people, LGBTQ. And a lot of people were like, I bet she's on Diddy's list.
Starting point is 01:01:56 And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no. She's not. She's not. Her label, maybe her manager, maybe somebody who's in an organizational position above her music probably said, hey, her manager maybe, somebody who's in an organizational position above her music probably said, hey, go do this. Because they, the people behind the scenes of the labels, are connected to Diddy in whatever it is Diddy was doing. And so they're pulling all the
Starting point is 01:02:18 stops, you know what I mean? It's Clive Davis to Diddy and everybody in between. But again, it speaks to the elitism. You don't want to be in between. Oh, gosh. But it speaks to this elitism that I think Americans are more so than ever aware of right now, that our system would work to protect Epstein and Diddy and, you know, other people, but it wouldn't work to protect actual Americans, you know, let's say impacted by a hurricane. I think there is a frustration there. And, you know, we were talking earlier about voters who like, how do you reach
Starting point is 01:02:50 them? Are they are they low IQ or are they just not interested in politics? I think there is a level of like to fill invention on Friday. People vote with their gut. But when their gut tells them they are being abused, they don't want to stick with the current system. I think you'll see voters who won't necessarily be suddenly engaged with politics, but they will say, this is not good and I don't like it. And that will make them turn out. Not all of them, but I think there is the emotional reaction of, I'm done with this. You are treating me badly. I don't want to do this anymore. I hope. I mean, that's that would be a wonderful, you know, development. But I don't know that I don't know that I believe there are enough people in the, you know, in the movable. Well, something like five percent. Right. It's something like five percent are actually
Starting point is 01:03:38 truly undecided voters. They'll say 10. But really, that includes a percentage that leans right or leans left. And so the question is, for all of those polls, are you polling just people in America who have the right and the ability to vote or people who are likely voters? Likely voters are different than people who are absolutely never politically engaged, even though they are, you know, they could be legally registered and everything else. They just won't do it. But you can't really count on them to suddenly wake up anyway. So again, it goes after this like, likely voter who is truly undecided. And that is sort of a unicorn. And I think it makes sense that both sides of the aisle are now sort of messaging to their own people, why Kamala Harris would go on a podcast and be like, abortion is such a big issue, because that's how she sort of soft launched her debut on the stage. Anyways, I don't know if you remember this, but there was a point, Biden was still running,
Starting point is 01:04:26 but there was a point where they're like, she's going to go on a national abortion tour, which I thought was funny because it was like, go away, Kamala, get out of the White House and do something. But it was sort of the only issue she had tied to her name that she was willing to talk about. Of course, she has ties to the border, but she doesn't want to talk about that, all kinds of stuff. But, you know.
Starting point is 01:04:44 She doesn't want to talk about law and order? No, she'll talk about how he's a felon, she's a prosecutor, but she doesn't want to talk about that, all kinds of stuff. But, you know. She doesn't want to talk about law and order. No, she'll talk about how he's a felon, she's a prosecutor, but she doesn't want to talk about what she did as a prosecutor. I mean, she has, you know, a history she wants to walk away from. But again, I think we're far enough down the path, we're what, less than 30 days out from the election. You know, the idea that you would find, you would really convert that last 2% of voters is unlikely. You just now need to make sure the people who are likely to vote who have voted for
Starting point is 01:05:09 you in the past really are going to turn out to the polls and i think harris has a much harder time with that than trump does right i don't think there's that many undecided at this point i think people have made up their minds and i think they're listening to their pocketbook and you know those that are brainwashed are brainwashed and they think that there's going to be some other, you know, there's another carrot in front of them and they're going to go with that. But I think, I think it's, it's a lot, if it's a, if it's an honest election, which we know it won't be. But I, I mean, I, I can't see Trump not winning or something crazy. I don't think, I don't think it's going to be crazy at all. I think it's just the federal government has been putting its finger on the scale since, you know, 2016. They said you can't take names off the voter rolls now.
Starting point is 01:05:52 All of a sudden they made this rule. Yeah. The federal government has an opinion. Clearly it has an opinion, which it's not supposed to have. I've said this multiple times on the show. The federal government is not supposed to have an opinion on who the population decides they want to run the federal government. If we are actually a government run for the people and by the people, then the people should be deciding who gets in and out and who is taken out of office simply by the vote and the federal government shouldn't be propagandizing the people or, or influencing the people. And they shouldn't be trying to say, well, if you vote, if you vote for me, we'll go ahead
Starting point is 01:06:28 and we'll make sure that we give you these special giveaways. And that's, that's the entire business of the federal government nowadays to the point where the president says, Hey, we'll forgive your student loans. The Supreme court says, no, we're not supposed to do that. And they're, they're still saying, well, we're going to figure out a way to do it. You know, there is no limitation to the executive by the rest of the government anymore. Let's do a hard segue to this story from NBC News. And I kind of want to talk more about Marjorie Taylor Greene saying that they control the weather. And of course, the media put they in quotes. But first, this is really important. Milton has intensified into a category five hurricane, massive surge warnings. So before we get into the more political nature of what the story is, I just want to say,
Starting point is 01:07:15 please heed the warnings from local law enforcement from look, you got Ron DeSantis out there. He's been doing a great job with with Helene. Now Milton coming through. He's done really well. I mean, relative to the other states. Take it seriously. I know we got a handful of our friends who are saying they're going to stay there, but they're not on the west side of Florida. It's going to be serious. But this story has many people questioning. Listen, this has never happened before. Right before an election, two swing states and a major Republican stronghold gets slammed, but not by but one hurricane, but two hurricanes. And what they're saying of this Hurricane Milton is unprecedented. So when they announced Milton, they said it may strengthen to a hurricane and then hit Florida. Then I see the next update. It's looking like
Starting point is 01:08:03 it'll be a major hurricane. They were saying maybe it will be a Category 3. Then this morning they said, it's a Category 3. It may actually get to the point where it becomes a 4 or a 5. We will see. Two hours later, they're like, it's a 4. Two hours later, it's a 5.
Starting point is 01:08:17 Now they're saying it's even crazier. So here's what ends up happening. Several days ago, Marjorie Taylor Greene tweets out, and I'll show you. She says, this is a map of hurricane-aff affected areas with an overlay of electoral map by political party. Shows how hurricane devastation could affect the election. And do they have her other tweet in here? She tweeted something saying, yes, they can control the weather.
Starting point is 01:08:36 That's obvious. Now, it's true. Governments, corporations, special interests have the ability to manipulate weather to a certain degree. That is, we've got cloud seeding. We saw the story recently in, I think it was where, the Emirates or Dubai? There was major flooding. It was Dubai? It was Dubai. Major flooding because their cloud seeding operation was too good. So they were spraying some potassium derivative or some compound in the air, which basically causes the moisture to start condensing around the particles. And then it makes rain and then that rain falls because there's moisture in
Starting point is 01:09:11 the air basically all the time. So this is basically what Marjorie Taylor Greene is trying to imply. With this, it looks like she's trying to imply that Republican strongholds are being destroyed by a hurricane that was the government or deep states doing, I guess. I mean, look, Marjorie Taylor Greene saying that, you know, the government or special interests can control the weather and then showing Republican areas being slammed by this is making the insinuation that the weather is being controlled. But I do want to pull this tweet up here from Noah Bergeron. He is a meteorologist on Fox 35 Orlando, and he says 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. This is nothing short of astronomical. I'm at a loss for words
Starting point is 01:09:54 to meteorologically describe you, describe, I think, to you the storm's small eye and intensity. 897 MB pressure with 180 miles per hour max sustained winds and gusts 200 miles per hour. This is now the fourth strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is tiny at nearly 3.8 miles wide. This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere over this ocean's water can produce. So, look, I don't know if you want to believe that this is government action, but I don't believe the government can make the most powerful hurricane ever, or whoever, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:10:40 Do you guys think that HAARP is firing radio waves or something? Allow me to put on my tinfoil hat. And back in the 60s, they were doing this. And I explained this earlier, we were talking about. But Ben Livingston was a guy who was running. He was a weather guy. And then they put him into Vietnam and said, hey, make weather happen. We want to bomb the Ho Chi Minh Trail with rain.
Starting point is 01:11:04 We want to take it out. So in the 60s, they were doing this. He's called the father of weather happen. Make weather happen. We want to bomb the Ho Chi Minh Trail with rain. We want to take it out. So they were in the 60s, they were doing this. It's called the father of weather weapons. And that was just using cloud seeding. Now we know that if you've seen some of these radar things where they show the Doppler radar areas that are out there, and they'll show a map of just a bunch of circles, boom, boom, boom, and they're pulsing almost.
Starting point is 01:11:25 And you can see this over and over again in these videos with these storms and what that is and this is my opinion that these doppler radar stations have a dual purpose one is to see where the weather is but the the other thing is to put out ionizing radiation and then you have harp which is up and there's mate there's harps in other countries too these these antenna arrays that are heating the app the ionosphere and the theory is by doing that they can maneuver large areas with weather and then you have the space lasers that marjorie taylor green is talking about well she posted a video one of the one of her tweets was a video i think it's michio kaku talking about how we shoot lasers at at uh weather systems to to move them around so this is so i can i can speak a little bit to that because this has been a cloud seeding technique uh germany was famous for going
Starting point is 01:12:15 back for a little while using infrared lasers for cloud seeding purposes to excite uh molecules and then cause them to act in certain ways or whatever to move move them, to condense them, to make rain. I don't know about making a hurricane, though. I mean, that's, that's... Well, unless you're saying it's been like 60 years of development and these weather weapons have been massively strengthened or what? There's patents to steer hurricanes. How do I look that up? Look that up.
Starting point is 01:12:37 Is there somebody, people have been posting on that. I think you're just a crazy conspiracy theorist. Oh, that's fine. And obviously this is climate change. Oh, totally. If we give Al Gore money, they'll all go away. Isn't it amazing how no matter what, it's always the thing that helps the world? Did you find it?
Starting point is 01:12:48 Yes. Hurricane and tornado control device, method for controlling hurricanes, and application 20080047480 proposes a giant machine and method of operation to control hurricanes. I don't believe it means these machines are viable. A patent of someone having one is just... That's true. That's true. Who is the guy? Terrence Howard has a lot of patents, but what have they done?
Starting point is 01:13:12 I'm obviously joking. I just know that eventually... But that patent's from the 40s, I think. It's old. The 40s? Yeah, it's old. I don't think it's new. And they've been working on this. They put out guidebooks where they were going into hurricanes and seeding them. And another video I saw, this this guy was tracking these wet and i think they're weather monitoring planes but he said these same planes also have the ability to do cloud seeding and maybe they're
Starting point is 01:13:34 just running cloud seeding planes through there beefing up this hurricane and then hitting it with other things i don't i don't know i don't know the technology that to what end though because they want florida to not have good voter turnout? To cause chaos. Yeah, to cause chaos. Because maybe, hey, if you hit it in the center of the state where it's mostly red, you don't have anything going in Miami. Miami's safe. That's where your Democrat strongholds are. Jacksonville's safe.
Starting point is 01:14:01 The panhandle's already been slammed, which is Matt Gaetz's country. So you go through Tampa, that's pretty much taken up. I saw a ton of people posting about how this is, it's not that this never happens, but it's a very unusual path. Yeah, it seems very convenient right now. And this hurricane, yeah, it doesn't really go, they don't go from Mexico over into Florida. They usually go that way. So it's extremely wild and rare, as I hear,
Starting point is 01:14:22 for a hurricane to form in the Gulf and then move north up. Northeast. Right. Yeah. And it's supposed to hit part of Mexico. It is right now. Bounce off. So currently the radar shows it over Merida, Yucatan Peninsula, I believe.
Starting point is 01:14:36 Yeah. So it is getting slammed. It's also worse. It's also worse if there's a high tide because it's supposed to hit Wednesday. You've got to see when the high tide is because that makes the stern even worse. Is it really bad for me to say I hope it veers south? What, to Cuba? Well, I mean, because if it turns south right now, it'll slam into the Yucatan and just wipe out a bunch of poor people living in these areas.
Starting point is 01:15:01 It's not all poor people. And if it heads southeast, it'll slam into Cuba. And so it's like, I hope it stays where it is and fizzles out, I guess, which is not likely to be the case, considering the water is warm and it's fueling the hurricane. Right. And if they can make these things stronger, then you would also think
Starting point is 01:15:17 they can make them weaker. If the government has this power, which we don't know if they do, we seem to think they do. I seem to think they do. No, I don't think that that's the case. You think it's just stronger? Well, just because you can start something doesn't mean you can stop it. They can smash atoms, but once that chain reaction started,
Starting point is 01:15:34 they're not stopping it. That's true. I don't think that the logic applies to you. Bill says they only invested in one direction. It goes one way. For argument's sake, I think cloud seeding does work, right? It worked over Dubai. It absolutely has worked. It's been around for 100 years.
Starting point is 01:15:48 So they do have cloud seeding. And so that actually is a technology that exists. But I don't think that I've heard of anything that can undo the, you know, cloud seeding. Or I've never heard of anything that can stop rain that started. Didn't Trump ask about nuking a hurricane during his administration or whatever? Yeah. It would do nothing. It would just add radiation to the storm.
Starting point is 01:16:11 Go around. He did say something during his inaugural address, though. He talked about releasing the technology to the masses. And he's apparently seen behind the curtain. And there's a lot of talk about his granddad, I guess, or his uncle. His uncle. Went into the Tesla factory. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:28 So there's this thought that maybe he knows about this technology that's sitting in warehouses like the Ark of the Covenant in the Indiana Jones, and he's going to open them up. He's going to open these things up, and then, oh, now we have free energy generators for every house. I can't believe that those books from books from the 1800s what are they about baron trump who wrote ingersoll lockwood that's still i still i'm that's a hoax there's no way that's real you know about these books i've heard of it yeah like these books apparently because i
Starting point is 01:16:55 thought when i saw that i'm like that's got to be a hoax it's got to be hoax apparently these books were written in the 1800s and one of them talks about baron trump becoming like president and then leftist anarchist towards a storm his castle on fifth avenue new york i'm like this is fake i haven't heard baron talk have you heard him talk uh didn't he say something recently i don't know no he's just going to nyu no one's been able to get him talking i did see a video of a guy pretending to be baron trump at a bar to like impress girls which i think is kind of funny i heard from uh when i there's a wikipedia on baron trump novels yeah i know and like what what is it ingersoll lockwood yeah yeah the novels
Starting point is 01:17:31 appear to be real travels and adventures of little baron trump and his wonderful dog bulger in 1889 the sequel baron trump's marvelous underground journey in 1893 i don't believe it. I still don't believe it. Because do they even talk about an Ingersoll Lockwood? Do they mention the Barron Trump novels? Yeah, when you find Ingersoll Lockwood, if you Google his name, Wikipedia has his. They remained obscure until 2017 when AI wrote them. It says they remained obscure until 2017 when they received media attention for perceived similarities between their protagonist and U.S. President Donald Trump.
Starting point is 01:18:08 Yeah, because in like the third book, let me read it, it says, July 2017, the books were rediscovered on internet forum users and then by media who pointed out similarities between Trump. Jamie, uh, Jaime Fuller wrote in Politico that Barron Trump's precocious, restless, and prone to get in trouble. He often mentions his massive brain and has a personalized insult for most people he meets. Fuller also notes that Barron Trump lives in a building named after himself, Castle Trump, while the real life Trump has lived in Trump Tower for decades. Furthermore, Trump's youngest son, his name is Barron Trump. And Donald Trump used the pseudonym John Barron in the 80s. Chris Rota noted in Newsweek that Barron Trump's adventures begin in Russia.
Starting point is 01:18:41 Rota also mentioned another book of Lockwood's 1900 or the last president in which New York city is riven by protests following the shocking victory of a populist candidate in the 1896 presidential election who brings on the downfall of the American Republic. The emergence of the novels has led to some groups claiming that it suggested that Donald and or Baron had engaged in time travel. This was often accompanied by claims that John G. Trump, a scientist and uncle of Donald, had created a time machine alongside Nikola Tesla.
Starting point is 01:19:10 I wish. Please be true. And it's fan fiction at its finest. I mean, dude, life is so boring. I mean, it's like not really boring. You go outside. It's beautiful. There's birds.
Starting point is 01:19:20 They're pooping. There's crickets jumping around. We're having fun. Chickens be yelling. But everybody wants adventure and they want more and they want to believe this stuff. So I'm going to live in the reality where John G. Trump seizes Nikola Tesla's secret equipment, makes a time machine, goes back in time, has a kid. It's Trump's uncle or whatever who tells him, this is what you're going to do, and then Trump's doing it.
Starting point is 01:19:40 All right, hands on the manuscript to Inglewood. Here you go. Write this. No, Ingersoll Lockwood is Barron. That's even better. No, I don't know. Well, now we need one of those side-by-side
Starting point is 01:19:53 face comparisons of this guy and Barron Trump. Barron went back in time too far. He went back to 1863, and he was like, no, we've gone too far, uncle. Now we'll never go do what we were going to do in the past. What were they doing in the past anyway? I don't have an idea.
Starting point is 01:20:10 They'll tell us later. It's not for us to know right now. I'm sorry. The idea that Trump or Barron or someone went back in time is just, why? What are you going to the 1800s for? I don't believe the fantastic stuff. That's mean, I don't believe the fantastic stuff.
Starting point is 01:20:26 That's right. That's right. I don't believe the fantastic stuff, but like, you know, he was appointed by, in 1862, he was appointed to counsel the kingdom of Hanover by Abraham Lincoln. I assume there would be some kind of document. Who was? Ingersoll Lockwood. He was appointed to counsel the kingdom of Hanover by Abraham Lincoln.
Starting point is 01:20:44 So I assumed that there would be some kind of documentation if it was an official act of the government. So, you know, I mean, at the very least, it seems like, and honestly, it seems like this is true. And honestly, it's not like Wikipedia doesn't have a leftist bent. So anything that if it wasn't, if this wasn't a real guy, and and it would there was even a whiff of you know fabrication to yeah I mean I imagine they would just be like oh get it out of here because there are
Starting point is 01:21:12 people that that work on Wikipedia that absolutely hate the right you know they're they're very very far left and and they have done some some creative editing to some of the the the posts and stuff the the entries to to benefit or to make the left look uh more appealing right there's a bias to their editors
Starting point is 01:21:36 yeah for sure uh i am not it's hard it's hard to totally accept like, well, they would just make the hurricane bad because of chaos for me right now. I think in part because they suffer to like North Carolina getting hit by a bad hurricane. And obviously this one is like a little weirder in its path and stuff. It's got a Democratic governor. And so unless you're trying to like if you were to tell me like they're doing it to disrupt this election, I'd be like, OK, that's a direct motivation. But chaos for chaos's sake seems like it would lead to risking a certain amount of power that I feel like you would need, especially for someone who already is in the know about the hurricane seeding technology. You sound like you're drinking fluoridated water. Maybe, maybe so. No, I am totally kidding about the climate change things, though. What bothers me about all of this is that was the main thing people were interested in.
Starting point is 01:22:27 I mean, the media immediately jumped to see how important it is that we talk about climate change as soon as Helene hit. They do that with any storm. Any storm ever. And really, it's like, sure, you can say that that's great. But then shouldn't you also be mad that we're shipping money overseas? So there's good news. And it's that Milton is actually going to slam into Tizuman, Merida, around Cancun in Mexico. Or is that Belize? I don't know what these countries are.
Starting point is 01:22:57 In the Yucatan Peninsula. And so it will weaken just a little bit. I'm kidding on that being good news, but it's kind of a difficult thing to say, right? We don't want the hurricane to hit us full force. So it benefits Americans that people in the Yucatan Peninsula are being slammed by a Category 5 because the landmass will actually weaken the hurricane a little bit. And by the time it passes through, it will drop down to a 4 as it approaches Florida and then ultimately slam into Tampa as a category three.
Starting point is 01:23:25 That's a wild path, though. Look at, isn't this crazy? It's like, it's hooking every projection model is like, oh yeah, Florida, you're screwed. Like, you are getting slammed. Yeah, there's nothing going, like, it's just going to run into Cuba. Nothing. Nope. It's coming right for us.
Starting point is 01:23:41 That's wild. And they're already getting rain, so it's softening up the ground. I think, you know, I think that's a big reason why all the states, Georgia and North Carolina, Tennessee, they were getting rained on before the hurricane hit. Yeah, from a different way. Yeah, so you got saturated ground. That's why you had all these mudslides. It had the 24 inches or so just come by itself.
Starting point is 01:24:00 Might not have been as bad, but you already had, you know, it was primed. Right. As you could say. And they're already, I mean, I've watched videos of people, you know, who live in Florida and their house is flooded during Helene. They're like, we're beginning the remediation process and now they're just going to get hit again. I mean, it means that every emergency resource,
Starting point is 01:24:21 any kind of recovery effort either is going to get literally washed away or it's going to have to go on pause, which means that all kinds of displaced Americans have to just kind of hang out and wait and see how many more hurricanes are going to hit before they can finally return to their lives. I think the damage to Florida is going to be massive. And it's what we're seeing in North Carolina and Georgia is horrifying. Roads just no longer existing. And we got this feed from Marco Rubio.
Starting point is 01:24:48 He says, several years ago, I asked NHC Atlantic to show me what the worst case storm hitting Florida would look like. What they showed me back then is almost identical to the Milton forecast now. Eight to 12 foot storm surges in Tampa. Five to 10 at Charlotte Harbor 4 to 7 at Chokoloskee and the Keys are going to get
Starting point is 01:25:10 1 to 3 feet that's wild man Tampa is going to get flattened by this it's crazy to see so I hope everybody's taking this seriously whatever it is, people were begging us to move to Florida and I was just like guys I were begging us to move to Florida.
Starting point is 01:25:25 And I was just like, guys, I don't want to move to Florida, right? Because you got rain and it's hot. But I do want to say this. I do want to say this. We have a lot of friends in Florida. So for those of you who are members over at TimCast.com, I thank you for your membership. And if you are not, you should be. So everybody should go over to TimCast, click join us, become a member because membership
Starting point is 01:25:43 is what makes the show operate. And without members, we can't do what we do. That being said, you may have noticed in the past week our members show were laggy, cutting in and out. This is because Hurricane Helene caused serious damage to Rumble. They are in the area. And this means they need our support more than ever. So we're going to keep doing our best to maintain our members- only show, which will be coming up at 10 p.m. Please join us there.
Starting point is 01:26:07 They're a lot of fun. They're uncensored, not so family friendly, but always funny. And this means that we're having issues with the player. Rumble is working as hard as they can to get everything working. Our website, we use Rumble infrastructure. We use Parallel Economy, which is Rumble and Dan Bongino's payment processor, because we believe in creating businesses and sustaining them to fracture the control of the hegemonic censorship industrial complex. Chris Pavlovsky of Rumble had a really great post where he said, this election is going to be a lot harder than the censor because you've got X, you've got Rumble. And that is true. And
Starting point is 01:26:41 you've got parallel economy for payment processing so please bear with us and with everybody else when this storm is going to it's going to cause us delays and disruptions to our show even up here in west virginia and so uh you know that being said everybody is getting hit by this and we just gotta we gotta deal with it so i hope you all are willing to do so one of the positives is uh the last hurricane did deposit a lot of sand in that area, and they're actually using that sand now to make sandbags, which you don't have to dig it out of the ocean. It's right there.
Starting point is 01:27:12 It's piled up. And it's almost helping clear sand that got deposited, too. Right. Yeah. Like the water-washed sand? Oh, there's sand mounds everywhere. It's like the dunes now. You look at some of these parking lots where hotels used to be,
Starting point is 01:27:23 and it's just giant. It's beautiful white sand. That white crystal sand that's all over. It all gets carried by the water, but then the water leaves and the sand's still there. I saw the mud, which is crazy because I don't think people realize the water washes in and it's full of mud. When the water
Starting point is 01:27:40 starts going down, the dirt stays. The water evaporates or drains and then you get two feet of mud, which is absolutely insane. You got to clean it up. Yep. It's going to be a field day for roofers in Florida. Yeah. After that, roofers and tree cutters. And drywall people. I suppose the question for you guys is, do you think this is going to, you know, with the talk of weather control, the concern is that North Carolina and Georgia, these are Republican strongholds and Trump needs to get he needs to win these to win these swing states. And now a month after the election, how are they going to run this?
Starting point is 01:28:13 But Florida is deep red and Miami is not really getting it. Miami went red last time around. So I kind of feel like even with this damage, Florida is still going to vote Republican. There just might be less votes overall, because I think some of you know, you think of all the electronic voting machines that have been flooded. You know, those things aren't being kept on the top floor. It obscures polling, right? One of the issues in the last couple of weeks is every pollster ever is trying to get their queries in, especially in swing states like North Carolina.
Starting point is 01:28:39 But if you can't, you know, in North Carolina specifically, if there's no cell service, you're not answering emails or calls from pollsters. You're not getting anything from half the state. Right. So there's no accurate way to measure counties. I mean, presumably a lot of these counties, from what we know, were already read. But at the same time, like this means that all of the data going into the election in these areas is going to be completely unreliable. Tim, can I make one plea to your listeners out there? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:08 Because I know you're a big champion of free speech, and we're sitting here talking about these great things. Free speech is alive and well in most of the country, except down in Texas where we have Alex Jones being attacked relentlessly by different entities that want to shut him up. And people can help out. I just want to put this out one more time to realalexjones.com. That's where we have a give, send, go to help fund what's going on because they want to take away his name.
Starting point is 01:29:40 They want to take away his – they filed to take away his real Alex Jones X channel. They can't do that. But they want to. Elon owns it. But if he doesn't fight these things, then the judge could say, well, you can take it. And then Elon could say, well, no one gets to use it. But then... No, Elon could say, Alex gets to use it. Bye. He could. And we'll get to that battle. They also want to say
Starting point is 01:30:00 he can't use the name The Alex Jones Show. Well, that's his name. And they're saying, well, no, we don't like that. They want to put a receiver over him. They've got these constant little... Now that they've taken away things when they're going to auction everything off. They've taken that away.
Starting point is 01:30:16 Now they want to go after anything residual where he can't rebuild. Really, the two things left are he's literally selling t-shirts to fund the next chapter at thealexjonesstore.com and then asking people to help fund his legal defense. And people just give $5, $10. 100,000 people do it.
Starting point is 01:30:33 It changes. It really changes everything, especially for him, and allows him to fight these battles. We've got appeals. We've got all kinds of stuff going on. And that's where the real fight is, I think, for the First Amendment, is showing these people that they can't dename somebody and just take away everything for something they said. You know, Boeing killed, you know, 100 people, 300 people with some plane crashes. They paid $300 million in fines.
Starting point is 01:30:57 No one tried to take away their brand. I mean, they're really trying to unperson Alex Jones. They really are. As if they could erase him from time, space and the history books. How did you get involved with InfoWars and Alex Jones? I answered are. As if they could erase him from time, space, and the history books. How did you get involved with InfoWars and Alex Jones? I answered a Craigslist ad. That's funny.
Starting point is 01:31:11 You're, I think, the third InfoWars guy I've heard say that. Well, that's where we used to always put ads out on Craigslist. But I answered an ad and they called me up
Starting point is 01:31:20 and when I got there, the guy called me on the phone who's not there anymore, but he said, ah, this is working for Alex Jones. I said, oh, cool. And I kind of thought it was. He didn't say it in the post. That's the first screener. That was the first screener. And so I show up, and Alex is interviewing a guy showing you not to get busted. He's a former sheriff's deputy. He's called Never Get Busted. And I go in there, and I'm showing all the DVDs and stuff that I
Starting point is 01:31:43 made and produced. And I produced a whole DVD series for the city of South Padre Island. And he's looking at them all. He's like, this is the kind of thinking we need here, and he walks out. This is during a break, and he's eating brisket while he's doing it. And he walks out, and the guy goes, I guess you got the job. That's pretty much how it happened. And I got there. I didn't know what I was supposed to do.
Starting point is 01:32:04 I knew I was going to be a producer. And I got there. I didn't know what I was supposed to do. I knew I was going to be a producer. So I started answering the phone. And after about like three days of that, Alex goes, don't answer the phone. Because we were getting all kind of crazy calls. You know, people call in. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:15 And you're just like, hello? And it's like some, you know, long rabbit trail. And you're like, oh my God. But then it got to going and taping. And Tim, you're going to come into this story here in a second. We go in and taping long form interviews. We go interview John Perkins. We go interview Tim Ball, who was a climatologist. We'd do these long three hour interviews, Rosalind Peterson on chemtrails out in California. And then we'd make these documentaries and we'd use like 10 minutes of their stuff. And then in 2011, when Ferguson happened, the paradigm had changed from shooting long form videos and putting them out on YouTube to going live. And I think that's when we
Starting point is 01:32:52 discovered, he was already a name, but we discovered this guy running around with a beanie on and we're like, who's this guy? We got to interview him. Go interview him and see what he's talking about. Because I think you might have been working for Vice at the time. Not if I was live streaming on the ground probably either before or after okay and and well one of our guys got stuck into uh they were getting tear gassed at ferguson but you're at ferguson right you were there okay yeah ferguson ferguson was vice and vice and fusion and and it but it was that was when live streaming became big that we had the
Starting point is 01:33:20 tools to go for at least an hour at a time it wasn't really good on phones but it was not bad but you could buy these units and hook up a camera and get some pretty good stuff and get lots of views. We just saw the view counts go crazy on all these different platforms. Nobody does it anymore. They don't. That's weird, right? Well, it's because you put it on Twitter and you get it different. It's just the way things change.
Starting point is 01:33:38 But that's the way the news business changed. If you were on the ground at any one of these protests with a phone live streaming, you'd be getting millions upon millions of views. You'd gain 100,000 subscribers overnight. I don't think any of that has changed. The reason I stopped doing it is because people started just jumping in front of the camera to scream because they knew it had a million viewers or whatever. Effer in the P. Right. Or just one guy was screaming, it's Tim, it's Tim.
Starting point is 01:34:04 And he would just stand in front of me and be like, look at me, look at me. And I'm like, I can't do this. Can't get the P. Right. Or just one guy was screaming, it's Tim, it's Tim. And he would just stand in front of me and be like, look at me, look at me. And I'm like, I can't do this. Can't get anything done. Yeah. Yeah. But no one else streams anymore. It's weird.
Starting point is 01:34:12 It's weird because that's how a lot of people, you know, made themselves. We definitely like went into another arena of popularity by doing that. It's interesting too. I think mobile live streaming is over. I tried to do a live stream
Starting point is 01:34:23 when the second Trump assassination plot broke and YouTube only allowed me to go vertical. And I'm like, ain't no way I'm walking on a vertical live stream. And so I tried to hold it sideways so you can see there's no chat. And I was like, there's no chat. And it's just this grainy, low res vertical stream. I'm like, we've gone backwards here well and that could be to control the paradigm when or the the narrative when facebook first started offering live streams that was early on facebook mentions i think is what it was called we would put alex on and we'd sit there and watch he's walking downtown going to google confronting google uh we'd we'd see a million viewers watching and i think at the time we were seeing real numbers because they there was no governor there was nothing it was just like we're going to give, because it was right early on when they were starting it, they wanted to give it to Alex Jones. We had a back channel to Facebook. They're like, here you go. Boom. And this is before all the censorship. And we're watching this 1.3 million viewers. And
Starting point is 01:35:14 we're like, whoa, this is crazy. Like you're just thinking about the number of people who are like on their phones watching whatever's going on. And that one, it just goes, that's powerful. That's a lot. That's power. And they can't let that out there. They can't let somebody like yourself to go out there and film an event and go, here's what's really going on. I mean, I think it's cultural.
Starting point is 01:35:33 I think the culture of it died. People don't want to go on the ground and do live streams. Yeah, it is work. It's hard to monetize. It's a dirty business. You know, you get shot at, you get tear gassed, you get, you know, there's all kinds of stuff that can happen to you.
Starting point is 01:35:48 All right, we're going to go to super chat. So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with everyone you know, because it's the best show on the internet. Everyone agrees. At least that's what I've been told. And become a member at TimCast.com. That members only show is coming up in about 20 minutes. And of course, leave us a good rating if you're listening on the audio podcasts or if you're just in general,
Starting point is 01:36:09 everyone go to Apple Podcasts or whatever and just five stars. We would really appreciate it. Does help. T-Bomb says the TimCast members only seven days to die server has been upgraded bigly. Come survive with us in a post Kamala USA. Tim, we have your beanie. Well, I'd like it back, but it's OK. Scooby Dragon says, howdy, people. Howdy. Councilman Robert Suppenblock says Kamala reminds me of the Sky Marshal and Starship Troopers that takes over and immediately throws her former boss under the bus. Yeah, I kind of don't think Kamala wants to be president.
Starting point is 01:36:44 I think they told her i think they put her there you know biden's like we're getting rid of him and you're gonna run and she's like oh why would they get rid of biden if they really couldn't win a down ticket he was going to cost them a bunch of seats oh downtown and then they're like we have no time to get anybody and the war chest can only be transferred reasonably to kamala despite the fact legally i don't think it can yeah but they have no argument to put all that money in any other candidate if they swap him out. I went to the campaign office, the
Starting point is 01:37:09 Harry Balls campaign office in Ranson. Completely empty. I mean, it's filled with stuff, but it doesn't look like anybody's done anything. Wait, in Ranson there's a... Yeah, there's a little campaign office. For Harris? Yeah. Really? Right downtown. I walked in. I'm looking around. Hello? Anybody there? I took two pictures of it.
Starting point is 01:37:25 I took a picture of the front, and then I walked in. And no one was there? No one was there. The door was open. The door was wide open. It said, come on in. And there's stacks of stuff on the tables. I mean, maybe they're just in the bathroom.
Starting point is 01:37:36 They could have been. I mean, I said, hello? Yeah, all one, for real. I doubt they're going to spend a lot of money in West Virginia. But this is important because it opens up legal standing for West Virginia residents for anything Kamala Harris' campaign does. So when they go after Trump or other nonprofits from various states for operating in their state or whatever, if there's questions about any actions they're doing in terms of financing or otherwise, if their campaign is operating in West Virginia, and of course they're going to operate in every state. And they could just say that. Yeah, here we are. Boom. Well, now it's like, look, they're operating here. This is what West Virginia, and of course they're going to operate in every state. And they could just say that. Yeah, here we are.
Starting point is 01:38:06 Boom. Well, now it's like, look, they're operating here. This is what they're fundraising off of. This is what they're saying. You know, citizens of West Virginia, residents of West Virginia have legal standing. All right, let's grab some more. Shanich Wilder says, prayers to everyone in the path of Hurricane Milton. To anyone watching, if you can help, please help, even if it's just prayers.
Starting point is 01:38:25 Indeed. There's just prayers. Indeed. There's the inside of it. Oh, that looks nice. I mean, was there coffee? You know, I didn't see any coffee. I want to go check it out. Vincent Latore says, I was at the rally in Butler and I saw that you were there, too, by your post on X. I jokingly responded that my wife and I wanted to hang out, and then my account immediately got locked for violent speech.
Starting point is 01:38:45 That's weird. Yeah, we went, we hung out with Jack Posobiec. It was great. He was doing the War Room podcast live for all of the people, and the line, this is crazy, because we got there at 9am, and the line went on forever. Oh, yeah. Three hours later, the line was still there,
Starting point is 01:39:02 and I think it went on for several more hours, because you can see the aerial photos. And it was really great. Got to meet a lot of really cool people. Took a lot of pictures with everybody. Did a really great couple of interviews. Did an interview with Midas Touch. I would be very surprised if they upload it raw and it's full.
Starting point is 01:39:18 But I would not be surprised if they edit it and selectively put up things that I said because that's usually what people do. That's what they do. The crowd in Pennsylvania was really interesting. I mean, there was a constant stream all day long. I think I got there maybe around one and stood in line for maybe 40 minutes to get in.
Starting point is 01:39:36 And then it just never stopped. I mean, it got if you are like because I like to walk around like you would walk kind of up to where the screens are as close as you get and walk away. And it got harder and harder. You had to stop moving because it just became this huge mass of people. And it reminded me of, I watched this miniseries a long time ago on Jerry Garcia and like the deadhead movement. And, you know, I'd be talking to people in the crowd and they'd be like, oh, yeah, this is like my fifth or sixth Trump rally. Like they really do have that.
Starting point is 01:40:06 They follow it around. They follow it around. It was fascinating. It's a cultural movement. I can't tell you how many people were like, well, I was here on July 13th, so I came back. And I asked them, were you nervous? Did you feel any stress? And they were like, no, why?
Starting point is 01:40:18 Was anybody on the roof? There were so many people on the roof. All of the budget went to the snipers. Of course. It was amazing. The one thing that someone in the crowd pointed out to me was like, I don't see it to be on the water tower. Right. But I almost feel like they're like, we don't want to steer up anything this time.
Starting point is 01:40:34 Six people on the water tower. Yeah, lots of people on the roof, which was fascinating. So I finished high school in Pennsylvania. And in between the RNC and the DNC, the RNC was in Cleveland, and then we went to the DNC in Philly. But we stopped in Pittsburgh on the night before, and I went and saw some old friends. And these are all Democrats, working class Democrats. Every one of them was voting for Trump. And right then I'm like, oh, he's going to totally win because the working class people have finally woken up.
Starting point is 01:41:01 They're like, oh, the Democrats aren't our friend anymore. And they realize that. They're like, we're not voting for Hillary. They're like, we're Trump all the way. And Westmoreland County, which is normally a blue county, it went red for that election. And that was, I think, because these people had just had enough and they've seen it. And I think you're going to see the same thing again. Yeah, I agree. I mean, that's the thing of the story of West Virginia for the most part. West Virginia at one point was a Democratic stronghold. And people don't realize that now. But it is one of two states that went entirely for Trump in 2020. Oklahoma was the other one.
Starting point is 01:41:33 Yeah, yeah. And Jefferson County, where Branson is, which you're mentioning, is one of two that came like within 50%. So it was like, I think 54% of the county voted for Trump. That's why they have their headquarters. Right, right, right. They're like, this is the one place we might be able to win. But I think, you know, one of the county commissioners who spoke at the rally said, I am declaring Butler the capital of Trump country. And I do think that sort of Rust Belt of America feels that. I mean, even though they might have been super blue, we are working people, union members at one point, they know that no matter what Joe Biden says, no matter what Kamala Harris pretends, that party does not represent them anymore. They've seen the results. And it's taken a while. It's taken a few generations. But
Starting point is 01:42:14 they're like, you know what? It's not getting any better. We keep putting these people in office, nothing gets better. But I think it's our responsibility as communities to make our communities better. Yeah, I agree. You know, we got to have more civil defense. So when these things happen, there's a group of people who are ready on standby. And it's not that we're not waiting for the government to show up. People are bootstrapping it up and going, you know, we got to start taking care of ourselves. But I think a lot of that comes with you're not looking for, you know, making it through your next paycheck, you know, just to pay what bills you're going to pay.
Starting point is 01:42:44 You know, you have to be comfortable to make that society, which we used to have that type of society. And hopefully we can get back to that and be inclusive for everyone. All right. Zach Matisse says, for the first time, New York might be a toss up. I've never seen a political ad here in upstate New York. The last two days have we've seen two Trump and one Kamala. I don't know if it's a toss-up. I think the fact that Harris is advertising is actually more telling than Trump.
Starting point is 01:43:11 Because that means that they've done internal work that says, well, maybe we do need to shore up our support in New York. We can't just go with Long Island, or not Long Island, but Manhattan. We have to actually do some work. I think that speaks volumes.
Starting point is 01:43:27 Go ahead. No, I totally agree with you. Trump said last year at the New York Young Republicans Gala, we're going to win New York. And it's one of those things where it's like, of course you want to win New York, you lifelong New Yorker. Like, OK, fine. But I think Democrats, like you're saying, would only spend money there this close to the election if they felt like there was something to be anxious about. And maybe it's the down ticket ticket races. Like maybe they want
Starting point is 01:43:50 to have this presence there for that reason. But it wouldn't behoove them if they really thought it was a locked, you know, a locked in election. Yep. Tommy Groshong says Operation Popeye, the U.S. military used weather modification against North Vietnam specifically to make it rain harder in certain areas to wash out roads and bog down enemy movement. Wow. Here in Gaming News says you'd think Kamala would at least pretend to care. We should do a donation drive for the victims of the hurricane. Can you please donate my $10 for relief efforts? Perhaps donate unneeded clothes, too.
Starting point is 01:44:23 Let's we'll take a look. We'll see what we can do. I had a friend drive down baby clothes. He drove, he had all his baby clothes. He drove him down there. He saw bodies in the water. He was in a boat waiting with waiters. And he was, it's crazy down there.
Starting point is 01:44:35 We here at TimCast would like to provide assistance so long as it doesn't interfere with any ongoing emergency efforts. So perhaps at some point in the future, we will consider whether or not we may go down to our computers to look at our schedules to think about if we'll help people. You know, there's always stories about- I didn't know you were in the White House. It's crazy.
Starting point is 01:44:59 Trucks of water. I got a lot of speeches for Kamala. There's trucks of water showing up. They're like, no, we don't want your water. That happened in Katrina. There were trucks of water showing up. And they like, no, we don't want your water. That happened in Katrina. There were trucks of water showing up. And they're like, no, you're not from our approved vendor. Yep.
Starting point is 01:45:08 People are like, what? Like, what is this? Like, our contracts are very important to us. Jacob Hawley says, remember, remember the 5th of November, the gunpowder treason and plot? I see no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. This election will be crazy. Get prepared. And Stocked Boys, Phil, now that you're back,
Starting point is 01:45:25 run for government again? I am not running for any position in government. Did you run before? I have never done anything like that and I'm offended at the implication.
Starting point is 01:45:35 What would you run for? What? What would you run for? The hills. Is that a political party? I tease Allison all the time by mentioning a future presidential run. And then her face just like gets wiped clean whenever I say it.
Starting point is 01:45:51 And then, you know, we were driving back from the rally and I was saying something like, you know, we're setting up a studio in D.C. So that we can, there's a lot of members of Congress who ask to come on the show all the time. Right. But they're like, I know it's only an hour and a half drive, but it's an hour and a half round trip and we can, there's a lot of members of Congress who ask to come on the show all the time. Right. But they're like, I know it's only an hour and a half drive, but it's an hour and a half round trip and we can't. So we found a really great location for a studio that's very close to the Capitol. And then I was like, yeah, we'll do that for a couple of years.
Starting point is 01:46:16 And then when I run, she goes, I knew it. I was like, I'm kidding. I will never run for office. You know, they got to look under the beanie if that happens. If I run for office? If you run for office, yeah. I don't to look under the beanie if that happens. If I run for office? If you run for office, yeah. I don't want to go anywhere near government. Government is horrible.
Starting point is 01:46:28 I would say terrible things on me just to prevent my— But to sound more aggressive and strong, I'll just use the Lex Luthor line instead. Do you have any idea how much power I would have to give up to become president? That's the real reason I don't want to do it. I'm kidding. I wouldn't want to do anything in government. Lord help me. But that's actually it.
Starting point is 01:46:54 But then that's why a lot of people don't go into government because they're successful and they're like, why should I give up this life to go be? That's what Trump said during his speech at the rally. He was like, I could be in Monte Carlo, but instead I am here. I would rather be in Butler. I'm here with you people. You people. He's like, I have so many beautiful properties.
Starting point is 01:47:12 All right. Val says, Brimcast. Great. Welcome, Tim. Will election reveal which undercurrent is stronger? Western Republican nationalism versus socialist global communism? Is the fight actually independent voters versus voting shenanigans subverting the vote of said independents? Twill be interesting.
Starting point is 01:47:29 Twill. I think it's voting shenanigans. Yeah. I'm voting for voting shenanigans. Yeah. I was just going to say, thank you guys for tuning in on Friday for Brimcast. I was happy to do it, but I know you guys loved him and I'm glad he's back. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:42 It was a heck of a drive in Cybertruck. It was fun, though. Guys, Breezewood PA is the greatest city in the country. Have you ever been there? No. There's only one reason why it is. There's a casino? No, there's an original full-standing pizza hut.
Starting point is 01:47:56 Oh! With salad bar and everything. Is that the square or the rectangle? Is it like the last one in the country? No, there's a bunch. But it's great because Breezewood's like a trucker junction. This is a bunch of gas stations and truck stops. And we parked.
Starting point is 01:48:14 We hooked up the Cybertruck and said, let's just get some juice here. And what should we do? And I was like, that's a Pizza Hut. And we went in and Allison got a pineapple thin crust because she likes pineapple. And I got wings. And they were delicious. Pizza was the first outlet to do the barbecue pizza. Really?
Starting point is 01:48:31 Yeah, they were the first ones. I remember in the maybe late 80s, they had the little barbecue pizza you could get. It was amazing. Yeah. Back in the day. And they had the salad bar and the pizza buffet, but it was closed because it was like super late at night. I think it was like 10 o'clock or whatever when we got there and they were open open till 11 that's cool and i was like i haven't sat down at a pizza hut restaurant in so long and their ingredients are garbage yeah but it brought back memories yeah i mean it's horrible for you but as a once in a like once in a great
Starting point is 01:48:57 while thing it's fine but i just had the wings and scraped some of the cheese off. Chick-o-witz. I'm not doing any... I mean, it's not bad. You know, fresh chicken from, you know, Chicken City brand chicken is much better. But, you know, I like chicken. I was thinking about this recently, because when you order wings, you get 12, right? Which is basically two arms and two legs each. So that's six birds dead.
Starting point is 01:49:21 Six breasts that are somewhere. Yeah, someone's eating those. But I'm just like, I wonder how many chickens I've killed this week. And so I gotta be honest, last week the only thing I ate was wings. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday was just wings. Was Friday? Yep, just wings. And so it's about 12 wings per order.
Starting point is 01:49:38 So that's 30 chickens that died to feed me. Granted, granted the chicken breasts, I don't know who ate those. So I didn't eat the whole chicken. But that's a lot of chicken wings. Killing a lot of birds. A grocery store near me when I was growing up used to sell like the rotisserie chicken, but they would
Starting point is 01:49:53 sell like bags of wings and thighs. And I had a friend come over as a kid, like count all of them and then turn to my stepmom and be like, this is a weird chicken. It had four different wings because she had never like seen it like that before. We've got a cricket crisis here at the Freedom of Sand Warehouse. So I take the leaf blower and I blow all the dust out of the park. It's a big building.
Starting point is 01:50:16 And then the other day, one of the ramps sticks out a little bit. It's called the love seat. And it's, I don't know, what is it? 12 feet wide. I put the blower under the sheet metal, and 20 crickets came flying out. They're everywhere, screaming up a storm, running around, living underneath the ramps. And so I've got a solution.
Starting point is 01:50:35 We're going to get a couple chickens and let them go, just to run around the place, just chasing down the crickets. Put a skateboard helmet on. Smorgasbord. And the chickens will probably poop, but it's okay. We can clean the poop up if they get rid of all the crickets. They'll clean up the crickets pretty quickly. Here's the crickets. Put a skateboard helmet on. Smorgasbord. And the chickens will probably poop, but it's okay. We can clean the poop up if they get rid of all the crickets. They'll clean up the crickets pretty quickly.
Starting point is 01:50:49 Here's the best part. They'll lay eggs from the crickets that we will eat. So we're basically turning the crickets into food. We will not eat the crickets. We will not eat the bugs. We will eat the eggs that the chickens give us. Perfect.
Starting point is 01:50:59 That's why I believe in the 20th Amendment. The right to keep, bear, and breed chickens shall not be infringed. And Arizona recently passed this law at the state level. No one can ban you from backyard chickens because Arizona, that was based. All right, we'll grab some more Super Chats here. What have we?
Starting point is 01:51:16 Andrew U says, just saw a billboard in the Cincinnati area saying to report hate crimes to the FBI with an associated phone number. Thought crimes have become a reality nationwide. Heavens. You know something about thought crimes, am I right? I do.
Starting point is 01:51:31 And also, I'm going to give you guys a little secret when we go to the, what do you call it, the executive session? Members only. Members only. Executive session. That's what they call it in Congress when they're going to talk about stuff that they don't want you to hear.
Starting point is 01:51:44 They call it the executive session. But I'm going to teach people. I will tell them how I do not go through the body scanners at the airport. Full proof way. Yeah, they pat you down. No. Well, no, I don't even get pat down. How do you do it?
Starting point is 01:51:56 Oh, you're... I'm going to show you then. All right. We'll do it then. All right. Stay tuned. I have a foolproof way as well. It's called TSA pre.
Starting point is 01:52:04 Oh, yeah. I walk right in. All right. All right. Armour says, this is for Phil. I's called TSA Pre. Oh, yeah. I'll walk right in. All right. Armour says, this is for Phil. I had VIP tickets for y'all at Richmond. I know it was an issue with the venue, but what happened? I can't say. It was a safety issue, and it was the venue, and that's all I'm allowed to say.
Starting point is 01:52:20 Because all that remains was a support act. That's an issue with Live Nation, with the venue, and with Megadeth. Actually, with the venue and Live Nation, it has nothing to do with All That Remains and stuff. I bet Diddy was there. We got to go! We're shutting it down! Everybody's just running. Yeah, but I can't talk about it,
Starting point is 01:52:38 because there are legalities surrounding it. Nobody did anything wrong or anything. It was a safety issue. But it was something that had to be done, so I apologize. surrounding it. Nobody did anything wrong or anything. It was a safety issue. But it was something that had to be done, so I apologize. Before a show, we were interviewing Megadeth backstage. It was like 2011 in Dallas.
Starting point is 01:52:56 And we were sitting there and he goes, y'all just come hang out. We're going to rehearse the show. And they literally sat in a circle playing with no amps or anything. The drummer's beating on his... They do the whole show. Front to back. And they literally sat in a circle playing with no, you know, no amps or anything. The drummer's beating on his, they do the whole show front to back. And then they go out and just nail it.
Starting point is 01:53:10 And it's amazing. Do you do that when you, we don't do that. We have done that with like, if we're debuting a new song or whatever, like everyone will go through this stuff. and it's, I mean,
Starting point is 01:53:20 it's fairly normal, you know, like Megadeth sets up a jam room every day. So they have like a electronic kit and everyone's got small amps and so like if they want to work on stuff they'll go in there and work on stuff but i mean because they're headlining they at soundcheck they just go out onto the stage right and do it yeah and just you know do it full volume and they lock the place down they're like no one can come in to watch like even the other bands we're not really
Starting point is 01:53:43 gonna watch i mean you can still hear it because you're in the venue but do you have a pre-show ritual though like that you guys uh i do have a warm-up that i do and i make i kind of do a a little uh get the heartbeat going and and do some push-ups and stuff like that and kind of jump around a little bit you know he doesn't do it before irl that's why i'm asking he treats this very differently than his rock star job. This is very different. I'm not expected to jump around. I don't have to yell as much. You don't have to get your heartbeat up.
Starting point is 01:54:09 That's right. Let's grab a couple more Super Chats. No Name says, I grew up in Dayton, Ohio in the late 70s. Wright-Patterson seeded snowstorms that dumped feet of snow two years in a row. Did they now? Alex Stein is convinced that
Starting point is 01:54:25 the Earth is flat too, right? That was a whole thing we had to go through. I thought it was sort of donut shaped. Is that not what it was? No, the donut Earth theory is that it is hollow and flat, meaning it is a donut. But Earth is not a donut because you'd be able to see the other side from the inside of the donut, you know what I mean? But
Starting point is 01:54:41 these flat Earthers are wild, man. Is he going to go to antarctica you know he talks big game about the earth being flat and then i'm like i'll pay and i i did i did a uh a poll to the audience and i said should we spend 35 000 i mean that's crazy right to send alex stein to antarctica and it was like 95 yes and i'm like hey, the people who watch the show and become members at TimCast.com are who pay the bills. And if they say Alex Steins goes to Antarctica, well, then God willing, we will send that man to Antarctica.
Starting point is 01:55:14 But the only problem is he's scared. Well, if he's got a Starlink, too, he could stream the whole thing. That's right. And we got Starlink. We could send him with one. And come on. What's wrong? Why is he?
Starting point is 01:55:25 Come on, Alex. He's not going to do it. He won't do it. I mean, look, he should. It's a long trip, and you're covering the cost. Wasn't it his idea to go? Yes. He can make content, too.
Starting point is 01:55:35 I mean, it's not like he, you know. I don't think he expected me to say yes. He's thinking, like, it's $35,000. No one's going to pay for that. I was like, I'll do it. It's cool. And he's like, ah's 35,000. No one's going to pay for that. I was like, I'll do it. It's cool. And he's like, ah, well,
Starting point is 01:55:45 you know, but look, look, you know, if it were up to, if we're up to me, I think there's better things we can do with that much money. I mean,
Starting point is 01:55:54 we could, I don't know, hire someone to help make clips or something, or maybe do some promos, buy some billboards. But the audience said 95%, they want to see Alex Stein. And that's what it's all about. Get some views. Get buy some billboards, but the audience said 95% they want to see Alex Stein. And that's what it's all about, right? Get you a thick jacket, Alex Stein.
Starting point is 01:56:10 If he goes in December, it's actually warm. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so it can get as high as 60 degrees. There you go. Yeah, mid-60s. You need a light jacket. That's right. Jump around a little bit, get your sweat up.
Starting point is 01:56:21 And that's why you go in the wintertime here. It's summertime down there, so it's day all day. It's sunny all day. And not as cold. So what's the problem? Get that snowmobile. Lots of fuel. Go.
Starting point is 01:56:34 The problem is it's not very interesting to haze penguins. There's a really good example that he brought up, but he didn't want to listen to, and why the Flat Earth stuff, why they make these mistakes. And one of them is that there's something called the impossible day or whatever. There's one day, July 8th or something, where 99% of the world is experiencing sunlight. And it's because the majority of people between like the Asian continent are in daylight. It's because it is day where most people are, not that the planet
Starting point is 01:57:02 is more than 50% covered in daylight or whatever. But they misconstrue this and think that it means 90% of the planet is experiencing sunlight instead of 90% of the population. And so it's things like this where then people go off and make these crazy videos and misunderstand what they're talking about.
Starting point is 01:57:17 Yeah, I saw a diagram of like a circle around like India and some of Southeast Asia and China. And it's like two thirds of the earth's population lives inside that circle. Or maybe it was a third or something. It's not just that too, but we have daylight when the sun has set.
Starting point is 01:57:33 Meaning you look at the horizon, the sun is gone and you can still, it's still not night, right? You're at twilight and sun is setting, but you'll still see some daylight. So anyway. All right. We'll grab a couple more Super Chats while we're here.
Starting point is 01:57:51 We've got Peter Gohok says, we need to send Ian to Florida to stop the hurricane. Awesome show. Keep up the good work. Crazy world right now. Yeah, Ian also is convinced he can control the weather, yet he never wants to whenever you need him to. Right.
Starting point is 01:58:01 I asked him this the other week. I was like, this is before Helene. If you can control the weather, why not, buddy? And he was like, the people can do it themselves. Oh my God, what a cop out. What if Ian just shows up drenched in sweat like, it's my fault. I made Milton. And then he actually filmed himself meditating in Florida,
Starting point is 01:58:19 calling for a hurricane. Get out of here, you drama queen. Is it Orgone or Hera? How does he do it? He closes his eyes and he sends his vibrations out into the atmosphere to calm the fumes.
Starting point is 01:58:33 He lies. He lies. That's what he does. He lies. He genuinely believes. I texted Luke and it was like, no, for real, he made the clouds go away. And I was like, no, the clouds were going away and then Ian made a weird noise. I'm sorry like, no, for real. He made the clouds go away. And I was like, no, the clouds were going away. And then Ian made a weird noise. I'm sorry. I wish it were real.
Starting point is 01:58:51 All right. Let's grab powers for good. Ian Thomas Durante says, hi, Tim and all. I'm watching 60 minutes behind. Please read this. I'm in Bradenton, right in the path of Milton. Send us good thoughts. I grew up here and this is the the first to head right at me.
Starting point is 01:59:06 Heavens! Well, I don't know, man. I think people should get out if they're saying get out. That's what I've always heard, that this area doesn't really get hit by hurricanes the way that it usually travels up. And so you must be... I mean, I assumed, as someone who is
Starting point is 01:59:21 not from Florida, that all of Florida is semi... is more prepared than most states for a hurricane, but especially if emergency resources have already been deployed to the other side that was just hit. I can't imagine what's going on there now. We got one last Super Chat. This is a big one. Darksy says, Tim, have you seen the story earlier today that an unmarked helicopter did a low-fly pass in Burnsville, North Carolina, destroyed supplies given to survivors. I saw those videos.
Starting point is 01:59:47 There's a bunch of them. You see these? I got some intel on it, actually. Do you know what the helicopter is? Well, apparently it was the National Guard of that state. It was North Carolina or Tennessee. I think it was North Carolina. North Carolina.
Starting point is 01:59:58 And they were trying to land. That's what I talked to a buddy. Right. And when they stop stop they can't really just like take off again it's not like you know being anti-gravity increases the pressure they do that and then yeah and so maybe it did look bad because i looked at the video i'm like those guys are a-holes you know and and then but i made some calls and lens razor some people were like you know i i think they were national guard they were trying to stop and make a water drop.
Starting point is 02:00:25 They couldn't. But they can't move that fast. It's a big Black Hawk helicopter. All right, everybody. If you haven't already. The Starlink survived, though. The Starlink survived. Please, would you kindly smash that like button and subscribe to this channel?
