If you're a fan of the content that I produce, then you're probably not a fan of corporate press, mainstream media,
because I know I'm not, and I rag on them all the time, so I can only assume if you watch the videos of me ragging on corporate press,
mainstream media, these big tech conglomerates and the big media conglomerates, I can only assume you probably don't like them either.
Well, recently, a whistleblower stepped forward and came to Project Veritas revealing censorship at Fox 26.
That whistleblower is here with us today.
Ivory, do you want to introduce yourself?
Hey, guys.
My name is Ivory Hecker, and I am a Tim fan, so I'm honored to be out here.
So this is a funny story.
You were just in New York.
Yeah.
And how did you – do you want to tell everybody how you ended up here?
Oh, yeah.
So, yeah.
So I was in New York.
So many people have been wanting to interview me.
And so I've been very busy with that as well as trying to edit content and get this true story out there.
There's so much to tell. And then I get a note from Tim
saying,
is there any way that you could come on the show
in person tonight?
I know we have like five hours.
Five hours, yeah.
And I was like, oh my gosh.
I was like, okay,
I'm looking into a helicopter or a plane or something.
And he was like, please film yourself going onto a helicopter. I was like, OK, I'm looking into a helicopter or a plane or something. And he was like, please film yourself going onto a helicopter.
I was like, look, that's how awesome your show is.
Oh, thanks, man.
We're going to find ourselves a helicopter and get on.
That's right.
Yeah.
Well, you made it.
And this is going to be awesome.
So we're going to talk all about corruption in media.
There's a bunch of stories.
I mean, right now, Joe Biden has been – he was at the G7 summit.
He was with Putin.
And a lot of people, even many people on the left and the right are pointing out, the American journalists are
screaming at Putin and not asking any of these questions to Joe Biden. We don't have a fair and
honest media in this country anymore. So I'm glad you're here. And we're going to talk about your
story. Of course, I have a somewhat similar story. I didn't blow the whistle and come out and, you
know, do some big expose, but I've certainly experienced a lot of what you've talked about.
So we'll get into all that. Of course, we've got Luke. You guys are causing some
serious microaggressions against the mainstream media, and that's totally not
cool. Mika Brzezinski of MSNBC, who previously said it's her job
to control exactly what people think, probably doesn't appreciate it.
So, yeah, welcome. I am your humble t-shirt vendor, and if you like
the t-shirts I wear, you can get them at thebestpoliticalshirts.com, including the one that I wear now.
And I might be live tweeting on Luke We Are Changed.
Thanks for having me.
Live tweeting.
Well, hey, I'm Ian Crossland.
What's up, everybody?
Ivory, I'm glad you're here.
I want to hear about this.
I've heard a little bit about it, so I'm glad to hear about it from your perspective.
I'm so honored to be here.
And I am so excited to have Ivory as well. I always love having ladies
on the show, especially ladies with big
what do they call them? Lady cojones?
Yes. I love the way she
unpacked this for the audience
at large. I think it's great. I'm excited.
We're going to learn a lot about the inner workings
of the media and
why we experience lies
and manipulation. Of course, I've got personal experience,
but we've got a big story right now.
So we'll get into that.

and you'll get access to the exclusive Members Only area.
But you may notice there's other posts there.
I'll be completely honest.
They're not supposed to be there.
Many of these posts are, for some reason, appearing.
We knew we were going to have a formatting issue,
but I wanted to launch the Newsroom ASAP.
So we've had Cassandra Fairbanks sign on as our new editor-in-chief, and she's been writing articles.
We're doing phone calls with a bunch of journalists.
We're going to be moving people into the area.
And that's because your memberships allow us to hire real journalists,
many people who are excited to have the ability to write real news without political agenda.
I'm not going to tell people what politics they have. I'm going to say just write the facts. We're going to get a fact
checker and they're going to fact check because we're going to double up, make sure real news is
coming out. And that's because you guys are members. So I think in the genre that we're
about to enter, media criticism, it's entirely perfect. So we have a bunch of amazing articles
that just went up and we will have a bonus members only segment coming up around 11 or so p.m. after the show
for members of the website.
And then the full site should be launching in, well, I can say two or three weeks,
but there's going to be QA.
There's going to be testing and stuff.
So we'll see.
But hopefully within the next month or so, we will have a fully functioning news site
with hopefully, I'm thinking, five people working on the news team to start.
So that's because you guys are members. Don't forget to smash that like button right now.

tell them the media is not telling you the truth. This is the video. This is the show. Share this with them. Take the URL. If you think we deserve
better ratings at CNN, please share the video. It really does help. Let's get into the first story.
We got this link from Project Veritas. Fox 26 Houston TV reporter Ivory Hecker goes public.
I don't need to read it. Ivory's sitting sitting right here so let's just start from the beginning what uh what happened well uh weird stuff started to happen late last summer uh they
they the first thing that just really stunned me was when fox 26 sent me to cover covid treatment
at a hospital they didn't like what the doctor said and then they went ahead
and punished me for allowing his son his sound bite to reach people's eardrums so so wait you
you you you just asked the doctor some questions and you got in trouble for what the person they
wanted you to interview said a medical professional. teamed up with the Army medical team from the Department of Defense. They were all treating COVID patients.
And the interview was very dull.
The Army wouldn't tell me anything.
I knew that the audience was still buzzing about hydroxychloroquine
after all of that crazy news about Stella Emanuel,
the mass censorship across social media that we saw after that.
People still, people had, people still people had i think
people had lost more trust than ever in in media when they saw this strange blackout where every
hydroxychloroquine post was being deleted um still yeah so so even even we have to be careful
otherwise youtube we take the whole show down right yeah. Yeah. So sorry I'm saying the H word.
I hope your show survives me.
No, I mean, look.
It changed it.
If it gets deleted, it does.
Yeah.
If YouTube pulls that and it's that creepy because we're talking about censorship in the media, yeah.
I mean, that's the level of insanity we're dealing with right now.
Really?
And we're not telling people what to do.
We're not medical professionals, so we want to clarify that.
Yeah.
And we're just talking about the facts of the story, which are very important.
You talked to a medical professional in the field dealing with real-life situations.
And could you expand on his kind of take?
What was – like, why did this happen?
All that happened, dull interview with the Army.
They won't tell me a thing.
I know people are buzzing about hydroxychloroquine. So I say, final question of the whole interview, I say,
by the way, did you, do you guys, do you guys use hydroxychloroquine? And then he said, actually,
we, we have used it and we've had great success. I know it's very controversial,
but we throw the whole kitchen sink at them. We treat, we treat them with a lot of,
they have, they have a whole recipe of treatments for covid patients and uh so i i actually added that as the final soundbite in my tv package and by the way guys i
just i the story i'm telling you i literally just uploaded a youtube if you check my social media
uh i uploaded my boss's own words on this so you can go check what my boss has said about this uh after after the show
rocks up youtube.com slash ivory hecker i believe yeah i mean just search ivory hecker i guess i
don't know if it's sometimes that doesn't work yeah i guess yeah maybe it doesn't work anyway
uh if you go to my instagram real dot ivory i just uploaded it there anyway so uh so the bosses
the bosses i added that as the last soundbite of the
package oh by the way he he is using this this hospital is implementing the controversial drug
uh and i and i called it controversial i just left it at that and uh my minutes before air
my bosses were like get rid of that soundbite we do not want that in our newscast and i was like
okay well why is that? They said,
well, you didn't include the context of other drugs they're using. I was like, oh, okay. Okay.
So I got rid of it from the TV news. It didn't air in the TV news. I uploaded that soundbite to
Facebook with the caption, having all the drugs he uses to treat COVID. So his whole, his whole
recipe is on there and the bosses flipped out.
They flipped out.
They said that I was not following their instruction.
I did exactly what they told me to do, right?
Wow.
So anyway, they went so far as to, they actually shut down my social media.
They said, you're not allowed to post anything until we say so.
And then, so I was in like a week-long blackout and
then they said okay you can post on social media but only things that we approve which is safe news
wow and but then uh they but they instituted basically a permanent social uh social a
permanent ban on coverage of covid drug treatment so So I was no longer allowed to cover COVID drug treatments because I could not comprehend the narrative.
The narrative wasn't going.
The president was talking about this.
Right.
And here's the thing.
I'm adding zero commentary, zero opinion to this.
Just here's his soundbite.
This is what he said.
Yeah.
Yahoo News had a story about, you know, HCQ, and they had a story titled,
Drug Endorsed by Trump No More Effective Than Placebo at Warding Off Coronavirus, Studies Suggest.
A couple days ago, they had another article by Yahoo News.
I'm not saying this.
Yahoo News is saying this.
Study shows hydroxychloroquine and zinc treatments increased coronavirus survival rate by almost three times.
That's Yahoo News.
But to be fair, I mean, it's a year apart.
Yeah.
So there were some studies that had been retracted.
And I think the...
Here's the fascinating thing, though.
That doctor I interviewed, he was adding the zinc with the hydroxychloroquine.
Apparently, people are saying that it works more effectively if there's zinc mixed with it.
I don't know.
And there was other previous studies without zinc.
And that's why Dr. Chris Martinson of Peak Prosperity was talking about how there was a debunked study that was personally not adding up to the science that he questioned that came out about hydroxychloroquine.
So let's just say this right now.
Do not take any advice like you seriously gotta go talk to a doctor you do
not get it from us just because there's some yahoo stories that say one thing or another
doesn't mean you should do anything you should talk to a doctor and take your doctor's advice
i think the biggest thing i think one of the things youtube is concerned i'll say one of the
things is that you get these stories about this lady eating fish food or whatever and they don't
want to get smeared in the media having supported shows that have promoted or talked about it at all so we're not we i want to be very clear our focus is on
the media's response to this exactly you go and talk to a doctor before you do anything so looking
at the comparison of those two studies almost a year apart it's just it's more of a confirmation
that we need to keep the conversation going out in the public stop shutting
down conversation about this because we could have we could have maybe connected more dots on this a
lot earlier well i will i will add that that study that's come out is not peer-reviewed and it's it's
a it's a preliminary research study that is not to be used for guidelines according to its like
the first paragraph in the study says do not use this for clinic for you know in clinical use it is not peer-reviewed so i think this is one of
the things that we have to be careful about and for whatever reason youtube freaks out now i will
say the creepier aspect of it is you can't even you can't even ask a doctor right right it was a
doctor who was doing but here's here's one thing that just stopped me in my tracks a couple weeks
ago i was i was thinking back to that doctor and thinking over this this crazy journey these past
like 10 months or whatever it's been and i googled him and i came across some something that said that
his death rate was dramatically lower in his hospital than other hospitals. And I was like, what?
And I looked into this further, and I actually made calls myself and collected raw data and came to find that he has dramatically lower death rates
at his hospital compared to other hospitals across the county, the nation, and the world.
This is a major story, and I think this is why YouTube has had the hammer on it so effectively
because there's a lot of implications here.
I don't want to jump to conclusions.
I'm not going to jump to conclusions, but people should do their own research, do their own homework.
The medical studies are out there.
You could read them yourselves.
Some are debunked, but the conversations that are being had are having to be had outside of big social media
companies. And that's sad. And also outside of corporate news outlets as well. I will add,
there is a really creepy, like, I don't know how to describe it, but there's the left,
the establishment left has their creepy blue and on worldview where rachel maddow screams russia for years and they all just believe it and then you do
have you know q anon people and people who just outright believe certain things and this is the
challenge um yeah people going online and just reading whatever and assuming it's true that's
why i'm like look a lot we've mentioned this before i've had people say that they don't trust
their own doctor and i'm like if you don't trust your own local doctor, like, who do you trust?
Like, what do you do?
You know what I mean?
Like, what's your response to go ask your neighbor, Agatha, or something?
Like, I'm sorry.
I couldn't do that.
I have to talk to a doctor.
Maybe get a second opinion.
You should have a relationship with them.
You should get some of the scientific studies, send them to your medical professional, and have an honest, real discussion with them.
Because if you can't trust your doctor, you're at the wrong doctor.
You should be having real honest conversations.
But I got to stress this point.
I turn on the TV every day and you'll see like some woman with blonde pigtails prancing
through the field and it'll be like, she's happy because she takes Flabodon.
Is Flabodon right for you?
And I'm like, they just promote, they don't even tell me what the drug does.
I remember seeing a commercial.
I'm not going to name the drug. They'll come after me. These people are litigious. But it was like, they just promote. They don't even tell me what the drug does. I remember seeing a commercial. I'm not going to name the drug.
They'll come after me.
These people are litigious.
But it was like, I'll keep it vague.
And it was asking if this drug is right for you.
And I'm just like, you didn't even tell me what it does.
So it's like some old man's going to call and he's going to be like, I saw a commercial.
Is it right for me?
And they're like, sir, this is for pregnant women.
Oh, well, the commercial didn't tell me that.
But these commercials that YouTube is probably taking ad money from.
Oh, TV news is definitely taking ad money from that.
And any TV news viewer knows that.
The commercial breaks are full of drug companies, okay?
TV news is heavily funded by drug companies.
And does that compromise the newscast when the coverage comes to drugs?
I don't know.
But here's the thing guys.
So when I found out those,
those death rates at the hospital,
it really,
uh,
you know,
made me stop in my tracks and say,
let me circle back to that story.
They banned me from last year.
So that's what I've been digging on the past few weeks.
Um,
I'm going to release an independent report on this in,
in the coming days,
uh,
unveiling,
uh,
you know really digging deep into the band
information about about what's really happening in these hospitals what what this guy's doing and he
he's not just just using one he actually phased hydroxychloroquine out because he
got too much pressure on him the pressure was intense he was using a recipe of almost almost
10 different items that were really key, he says.
It's a very interesting story.
I'm going to talk to quite a few people for this report, and I hope you guys enjoy it.
I know some medical doctors, too, that I could connect you with.
And also, another thing I wanted to add, I love hearing the side effects for those commercials.
It's full of vowels.
Yeah, and it's like, what the hell am I thinking?
That's a majority of the commercial space.
So.
But I want to going back to like the corporate side of this.
They I guess what they were saying was that in this video that came out that when you the video you got for Project Veritas, you had one higher up saying that about Bitcoin, that certain ethnic minorities wouldn't be interested in stories.
They don't report it.
And so I'm wondering in this regard, what is the reason why a corporate executive would say, don't tell this story?
It sounds like the answer is they want to make money, right?
Yeah, I really am not entirely sure what the motive was at the top i think i think fox at this time and i'm talking fox corp
they they feel such a target on their back for having the name fox and they are really you're
really watching fox start to crumble to that pressure is what's happening is they're starting
to be so careful and if they see other media censoring something out, they join that team and say, we'll be safer.
That's spineless.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
So what I found interesting in the in the video that you did or that you released was when the one woman says, you know, she passed on a story about bitcoin because the 5 p.m hour is like largely
you know black people who wouldn't be interested in this story things like that and you mentioned
that they were really like targeting demographics and trying to figure out which news would cater
to them yes could you explain that to us like oh yeah it's in in news it's like everything's broken
down into these little demographics and and actually, it's like a large amount of the behind-the-scenes conversation in news is about racial groups.
Well, what's this racial group doing?
What's that racial group doing?
And how will this racial group respond to this news or whatever?
And it's crazy.
It's all through race-colored lenses, opposite of what MLK had in mind, by the way.
So, yeah, she just made an assumption that if you're poor and black, you don't care about Bitcoin.
Maybe it's because they haven't been told about Bitcoin, because these news outlets just say they wouldn't care anyway.
They make an assumption about a person based on their race when they could be wrong.
Maybe if you gave information to people and an opportunity to understand, they might actually care about it.
Right.
And if you look at one technology that has enriched people, has helped people, has taken people out of poverty and given them some wealth,
what technology recently has allowed people to do that?
Cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin.
They have helped so many developing countries, third world countries.
There have been so many charity efforts.
There have been so many amazing things happening in the Bitcoin cryptocurrency space that help people.
That is just kind of crazy to see someone's perception controlling, you know,
the reporting on something that is so crucially important like Bitcoin. It feels to me like there is, I guess it's a hive mind.
It's the collective.
I refer to groupthink.
Yeah.
Right.
So there is this major media hive.
And if you step out of line, they all point at you in the same direction and they fire
their figurative, you figurative lasers at you.
All of a sudden now you're getting the heat from every single media outlet, every single
activist organization, and then everyone gets scared it'll come for them so they shut off
working with you.
You get canceled.
I wonder if that's what we're seeing with like you mentioned the pressure at these news
stations.
Yeah, Fox doesn't want to get canceled by being said to be touting a drug that is said to not work.
So they're going to ban coverage of the drug to protect themselves.
I actually have experience with this.
So when I worked for Fusion, which was the ABC News Univision joint venture,
I was talking to the president of the company, and he told me,
you know, our job here is to side with the audience.
That's what he called it.
What it basically meant was we make news content that caters to a group of people that is looking for that confirmation bias.
I asked him, I was like, so are you saying to me that if there is a factual news story, but it would be offensive to our audience, we don't report it?
And he said, I think that's fair, yes.
That, I think, summarizes it. that is the state of the american media and that happened to me almost six years ago okay so this is yours this is your story yeah yeah yeah oh my gosh i was i
was basically trying to quit for the past 10 months but i had this crazy rigid fox contract
that's exactly what happened to me what's your okay, okay. I had a two year contract with fusion. And after about a year, I'll start from
the beginning. So, you know, I worked at vice. I got contacted by this recruitment company.
They said, here's what we want to do. We basically, we love what you've done with vice news. Cause I
was the, I was the founding member. I was the first person they hired and really shaped a lot
of it. They said, we want you to do that exact same thing here with new technology, new methodology.
And I was like, that's fantastic.
Went and talked.
They gave me some numbers.
I said, this is fantastic.
I'm going to have a budget.
I'm going to have a team.
I'm going to be making great money.
And we're going to launch something really incredible.
Within about six months or so, the company went from we want to be edgy and youthful to we are completely woke in every way and we outright
hate white people i'm not kidding the editor-in-chief changed his twitter banner to say down with
whiteness and it was a black fist like revolution fist and so that to me was like okay i i just go
on the ground and i tell people what's happening i'm not here to claim a race is bad or to push ideology.
And so I started having these conversations where I'd be just, I'd just say like, hey,
I'm not comfortable with the content shift. And eventually it became more golden handcuffs for me.
They didn't want this kind of content anymore. They wanted activists, progressive. And this is
how the conversation came about. One of the first was, I said, look, if, you know, was when I go to his office and I said, I see what's going on at this company.
I don't agree with your ideology.
It doesn't fit like my style of reporting.
I just want to do on the ground, you know, documentaries.
I went to a weapons expo in Brazil.
We went, we looked at guns and missiles and there were generals walking around and stuff.
Nothing overtly ideological.
And so when I come back
and I see what they're doing with all the content,
I'm like, this stuff is laughable.
I mean, like you're dumping
what hundreds of millions of dollars
to make an activist blog.
People do this work for free.
You don't need to start a newsroom
to make an activist blog.
Go start a nonprofit.
Do you want to actually do news and want to make a successful company?
This isn't going to work.
That's where that conversation comes from, where he says, look, we're just here to side
with the audience.
And then I said, what audience is that?
And he says, look, young people are progressive.
This is the thing that they want.
And I said, I don't think it's about what they want.
I think it's about giving fair and honest information so that they can understand what's
happening in the world.
And then he said, look, you know, we're here to just side with the audience.
That's when I said, does that mean if there's a factual news story that would be offensive to them, we wouldn't report it?
Yes, I think that's fair.
I had a meeting with them in I think this was in California because we were based in Miami.
And I sat down with them after about a year or so into the contract. And I said, if this is the way things are going to go, clearly I shouldn't be here.
So how about we just end it now and you guys sever my contract?
But they didn't want to do that.
I think they were worried that I was one of their high-profile hires.
They called it the expendables.
They hired a bunch of prominent personalities from across New York media.
They were like, what would happen if the news comes out, Tim Pool breaks contract and quits?
They didn't want to deal with the bad PR.
So he was like, yo, I see what you're saying.
I'm really sorry.
We'll figure it out.
The president outright told me that the company was racist, like straight up said the company was racist and there were issues.
And so he said, we'll talk about it later.
Well, what ended up happening later was I got a phone call and I thought this was it.
I got an email.
They're like, we need to have a conversation with you.
And I was like, finally, it's been a few months.
Now they're going to end my contract early, and I can be rid of this company.
No, I get a phone call thinking the guy's going to say we've considered what you've talked about, and we're going to let you go.
Instead, he said, I just wanted to let you know we have a very serious matter to discuss with you, and I think I'd rather just tell you in person.
And I was like, wonderful.
And he goes, yes, we're going to be depositing a very large bonus.
It should be around $40,000 into your bank account.
And we don't want you to be alarmed by the number.
And I went, what?
Yeah, yeah, everyone's getting a bonus.
And I started laughing.
And I was like, is this a joke?
I don't even know why I got a bonus.
I was not part of whatever the structure is they were trying to build.
And then I look at my bank account.
I'm like, okay.
And then I just waited, I suppose, and had more and more of the same conversations.
They didn't want this kind of coverage anymore.
I can understand it.
When they wanted to start the company, they wanted to make vice.
After they changed their course, they realized they had me under a contract and they didn't want to look bad.
So then come August of 2016,
the same thing happens.
We should call.
And I'm like, here it is.
My contract is up.
Thank you for everything you've done for the company.
At this time, we will not be renewing your contract.
And I said, thank you and have a nice day.
And that was it.
That was done.
And that's when I started my own YouTube thing.
That's corruption.
Their goal was not to provide information to people
to help them better their lives. Their goal was not to provide information to people to help them better
their lives. Their explicit goal, their expressed goal was to give confirmation bias to people.
Now, I know the left will look at my content and say, Tim, you rag on Democrats all day and night,
blah, blah, blah. Yeah, that's a fair point. I mean, I personally, as a pundit and commentator,
do I have my biases. I rag on the Republicans in a different way and not nearly as much as I do the
Democrats. But we're going to something very, very different with our newsroom. We're going to
get an independent fact checker, two or three, and they're going to be in a different office
outside of our newsroom fact checking the articles we write because we're going to do it properly.
So when I heard your story, I was like, I've experienced a lot of the similar things,
right? When you had that video of the woman saying the audience wouldn't care about that.
You know, why should we report on Bitcoin?
The audience is not going to care about that.
I'm like, oh, I know exactly what they're saying.
And then I thought it was interesting too
because there's two sides to this.
You mentioned that they're just interested
in the executive's opinion.
And that's also bad.
We don't want newsrooms
where you have one executive saying,
I just want propaganda from my worldview.
And we also don't want a newsroom that says, just feed the peasants whatever confirmation bias you can
give them. You want an eclectic group of real reporters with varying worldviews, seeking out
the truth, seeking out information and disseminating it. And that means often you'll have something
that'll be offensive to Republicans or offensive to Democrats. Young people hate it. Old people
will hate it. And then there'll be a lot of things that people appreciate,
a big expose and a corporate malfeasance. But when you have a CEO, you know what happens?
When you have an executive sticking his finger in the editorial, I've seen it. They say,
oh, what's that story? There's a large soda company that's doing something wrong.
Well, they sponsor us, so we're not going to report on that. And then they stick their finger
into the news reporting and they shut down very important stories about corporate malfeasance.
In the inverse, you have people saying, just tell the audience whatever they want to hear,
and you can't have either of that. It's got to be about seeking truth and providing information,
whether people like it or not. Exactly. In fact, there's another big story that I have been
trying to get out to viewers. There's a few things that I need to do
to verify what's going on and get it out there. And I presented this story to my bosses a couple
months ago. And I can't go into detail because I'm still working on this story. But I told my
bosses, there's two people I need to track down on the ground. I need to just run into them and have a mic and, hey, so what's going on?
And they said, absolutely not.
They were just like, oh, what?
You're crazy.
We would never just confront someone like that.
It was like, what?
That is journalism.
Getting that person.
This is a potentially very dark story.
If what happened is true
that is dirty yeah luke's got experience with running up to people and i mean that's what
it's real journalism going up to people door stepping them asking them a question that's
not scripted everything we see on the mainstream media right now is carefully written carefully
scripted joe biden gets pre-approved questions in front of him that he has cue cards for that he answers.
There is. I can tell you the only reason I can verify that.
Yeah. And then I remember being at a lecture for Condoleezza Rice and she was she was doing a Q&A questions that allegedly came from the audience was what john stewart was asking condoleezza rice in this you know pre-scripted
interview that she knew all the right talking points to sell her book she probably sent him
the questions and said this is all you're allowed to ask and this is this is their book this is this
is all a big illusion and i remember being there right before you went from Vice to Fusion and Disney. I remember.
I was like, Timmy, no, don't join the dark side.
Don't do it.
No.
Wasn't Vice bad enough?
I was like, I already had enough conflicts with Vice.
There was some drama between me and them.
We even shot a full skit about us testing less lethal weapons on each other.
We sat down, got tear gassed together.
We did a whole segment.
They ruined that.
And then we couldn't even, no one even saw
that video footage.
Well, that's different.
That was more like
a major corporation
that wanted to be cool
and didn't understand
anything I told them.
And what we did
was really freaking cool.
I was like,
we want to go to
a secure location
where we can test out
these police tactics
in an open field.
They brought us
to a parking lot
at McDonald's
and I'm like,
we can't do this here. You can't release tear gas in an open field. They brought us to a parking lot at McDonald's and I'm like, we can't
do this here. You can't
release tear gas in a parking lot. What are you doing?
The feds showed up. It's a long, crazy
story.
It was wild.
What you experienced happening
to you, the kind of golden handcuffs,
happened to a lot of people.
Whether it's Philip Donahue, whether it's
Jesse Ventura, there's a lot of people, whether it's Philip Donahue, whether it's Jesse Ventura.
There's a lot of people reporting how they get bought out by big companies,
and all they have to do is not do anything.
Guys, when you said golden handcuffs, I was like, what a concept.
I almost felt in some ways like that's been something that's been happening to me.
The more I push back internally, I mean, I started aggressively pushing back against my bosses on these things.
Like I lost all fear of confrontation with my bosses.
When I saw the depths to which they stooped late last summer, I was like, okay,
I don't want to be a part of this company anyway, so I'm not going to tiptoe around my bosses.
And I started to call them out every chance I got.
Every time they did something sketchy, I would call them out.
And what started to happen is I started to get any day off that I wanted.
I got two weeks off over Christmas and New Year's, and I never have to work weekends.
So I don't want to ask you to answer this about you personally,
but would you say that these local newsrooms in general on average pay well?
In Houston, it's a decent amount.
I mean, it's not tons, but it's probably more than most people make.
Right.
That's what I'm wondering. For somebody who lives in the Houston area,
maybe they work a trade of some sort,
or maybe they drive Uber,
or they maybe work at a Walmart or something.
Yeah, we're definitely making more than those people.
This is what I find really fascinating about the whole thing is it's almost like the whole system relies on you
just recognizing that you are a privileged elite
and you don't want to leave the club.
I walk into Vice when I first started there. A lot of those people got paid really poorly. on you just recognizing that you are a privileged elite and you don't want to leave the club. Right?
I walk into Vice when I first started there.
A lot of those people got paid really poorly, let's be honest.
Like, Vice didn't pay all that well.
They were notorious for it.
But there are many news outlets in New York.
I shouldn't even call them news outlets.
They pay an insane amount of money.
60 grand to write listicles about, you know, like, different hamsters they saw on the internet.
It's like, why are they getting paid so much per year when the guy who cleans the toilets gets paid a third of that or
half that? Why is it that the guy who has to wait around in the sewer is getting paid less than the
person who's fresh out of college with no experience writing trash for the internet?
I think it's because control of information is extremely important. So they want people to look
around and say, I don't want to be a garbage man.
They, they, they do like, I mean, this is what we hear when we grow up, right?
They, they say, oh, if you don't go to school, you could end up being a garbage man.
My dad never told me that he's a garbage man. Might be very happy. He probably makes great
money. That isn't the guy at McDonald's. McDonald's guy's probably happy too. Who knows?
Some people probably aren't happy. Happiness has nothing to do with that. So I found that,
you know, interesting, but I think about how we teach our kids this this you don't want to be a burger flipper you don't want
to be a garbage man then all of a sudden these people they get this privileged access where
they're getting paid a bunch of money to do basically nothing it's not real work i'm talking
about new york blogs i'm not talking about actual journalism they don't want to leave that club they
don't want to step out of line there's money to be made so golden handcuffs works in a couple
different ways when you get a contract,
they tell you,
hey, we're not going to use this story every single
time you get one. No, we're not interested.
No, we're not interested. Have a nice day. Then they just
basically, you end up sitting in the corner of an office
getting paid decently, doing nothing.
The other kind of golden handcuffs is
more of the peer pressure kind where it's like, well, you're not
a bigot, are you? You agree with us,
don't you? And that is what is prolific in tv news they they the wokeness the the the oh you're not
you're not it's basically you're you're not right wing at all are you right that was a slightly
right leaning pitch there you pitched a story that uh well you know what are your views? And everyone in news is terrified to ever be thought to possibly lean to the right.
You have to be leaning to the left, which is so sad.
You shouldn't be leaning anywhere.
You should be just looking for the facts, period.
But in looking for what the audience has questions about,
we as journalists have more access to the audience than ever before.
We get to just look at our own social media comments and see what the audience cares about and what they want answers to.
And what I saw at Fox is an audience screaming in the comment section.
So frustrated.
The Fox 26 viewers were so disgusted with Fox 26.
And their questions were what I started pitching in the meetings, in our morning editorial meetings.
And I watched the pitches get shot down, shot down, shot down.
But isn't it weird then when you had that supervisor say that, you know, the 5 p.m.
slot doesn't make sense to talk about Bitcoin because the people who watched aren't interested in it? If it's weird that they're kind of doing both things like, oh, we know our audience won't
like the story. We won't do it. Meanwhile, you actually have people on your social media saying,
hey, we'd like to know more about this. Oh, we're not going to do that either. Right.
Seems more like it was an excuse for them to pick and choose what stories they want to promote.
Of course, they didn't want to promote Bitcoin. Bitcoin gives regular people a way out. So I'll put it this way. I'm not a financial advisor. Do not take this to
be financial advice. And I'm going to tell you about my opinions. If you put money in a savings
account, when I put money in a savings account, inflation devalues my currency. My ability to buy
things diminishes over time because of the way the Federal Reserve
prints money. When I put my money in Bitcoin, the value of the Bitcoin went up and my purchasing
power actually increased. Teaching poor people that they could find a way out, I have to imagine
a lot of elites and rich people don't like the idea that poor people can escape the system they've
created. Yeah, it's incredible.
You know, I just discovered Bitcoin in November and made some nice money from it.
November?
Yeah.
That was a good time.
Yeah.
So it was at around $13,000 or so, and now it's at $40,000.
And all the naysayers and all these outlets keep wanting to say,
Oh, no, it was at $65,000 and now it fell, so it's bad.
And I'm just like, look, man, if someone gave me a dollar right now,
would I put it in a savings account or would I put it in Bitcoin?
Because me personally, my personal opinion, not financial advice,
is that that dollar is going to retain its value or increase.
If I put it in a savings account, it's going to inflate and become worthless.
But, Tim, poor people getting rich is a big no-no.
We can't allow that.
We can't allow people to have their own individual economic freedom and sovereignty through cryptocurrencies.
No, no, that's it.
It's not about getting rich.
It's about if I work, the value of my labor is retained.
Exactly.
And I totally agree with you.
And that's why we have seen such concerted efforts throughout the years.
I've been hearing them ever since Bitcoin went from 400 to 200, ever since it went from 2,000 to 800.
It's always Bitcoin is over it's collapsing
it's never going to become a thing it's horrible for the world it's it's causing pollution meanwhile
look at the carbon created by the military industrial complex look at the carbon created
by gold mining and it's way higher than bitcoin i i previously just put out a chart on my twitter
account showing the exact amount of co2 caused by all these other alternatives.
And Bitcoin is all the way down there, very low.
But yet again, Elizabeth Warren is the one campaigning a huge war against Bitcoin, trying to, of course, control it, regulate it, and, of course, make sure that people can't enrich themselves some way or keep their money some way through the larger financial crimes that are happening against the public right now.
Let's go back to that thing you were mentioning.
Let's see. I think I have this. Pull this up somewhere. Yes. We have it from
Grabian News.
Micah Brzezinski said,
this is February 22, 2017. Our job
is to control exactly what people
think. They do.
And what were they telling everybody
in 2008, just before the big crash?
Everything's fine. The economy
is great. Invest in the stock fine. The economy's great.
Invest in the stock market.
Go buy a house.
Go get yourself a loan.
Everything's hunky-dory.
And they knew.
Yeah.
What were they telling us in 2003?
There's WMDs, weapons of mass destruction.
They're working.
Osama bin Laden is working with Iraq. They're making yellow cake, and they're creating little small nuclear devices that will be blown blowing up in new york city uh and then we could go on we could we could go on
to 2001 when they told everyone the air was safe to breathe down at ground zero when it wasn't it
was filled with asbestos but the mainstream media knowingly that previously just a few months ago
was talking about the asbestos in the twin towers being white elephants just months ago the new
york times before 9-11 was talking about that they were now in the Twin Towers being white elephants just months ago. The New York Times, before 9-11, was talking about that.
They were now reporting the air is completely safe to breathe at Ground Zero,
even though it was filled with asbestos and the criminality there.
And, you know, I'm sure it's because the local law enforcement said that.
No, no, no.
Chrissy Todd Whitman announced that after the EPA got their results, fudged the data.
The data went through Condoleezza Rice.
Condoleezza Rice edited out that it was unsafe, that it was toxic, that it was going to kill people.
George W. Bush then published the findings, gave it out to the mainstream media, according with the EPA guidelines.
And the EPA announced that air is safe to breathe, even though they edited out the findings.
So there you go. You hear EPA, and that is God to the media.
Exactly, yeah.
The media.
Government says it's true. You must. If the government says it there you go. You hear EPA and that is God to the media. The media, you must
if the government says it, you
cannot question it.
That's my experience. I was in New York City.
I was breathing that dust and
I'm pissed. Unless
it's Trump. When Trump
was the government, everything he said was
false. So we get that 2003.
We get that 2001. We get that 2003.
We get that all throughout the, you know.
Even Katrina, there was massive lies and total psyops there with what was happening on the ground.
But look at last October.
What happened?
The New York Post put out a story, Hunter Biden, his laptop, and social media shut the story down.
They said it was misinformation.
We can't allow this.
The spokesperson from Facebook goes on Twitter and says, I'm this information these people this is a religion this is cult-like behavior
they don't care if it's true they just the the the the the priests of their new religion have
said it therefore they must act and they shut the news down then what happens after the election
oh that laptop story oh that was that was true. Yeah. Yeah.
Like the media is going to tell you the truth. he has an amazing story of working for msnbc
in 2003 where he was rightly anti-war he was against the war in afghanistan he says there's
no way i will support it msnbc bought him a full-time show that he was supposed to do five
days a week and they asked him you're going to be pro-war he said nope what happened he ended up
finishing his contract by not doing a
single show and he got a whole bunch of money for it lock you down yeah they locked him down he
couldn't say anything about it during that year he couldn't do any interviews about it they controlled
every aspect of his existence we even i i can't believe we're saying this but but even chenky
huger had horrible experiences at msnbc with them trying to control i mean if you're trying to
control chenky huger now and what and what his talking points are, and he even came out, rightfully so, against MSNBC.
I mean, wow.
You got a major problem when it comes to controlling the narrative, controlling the agenda with closely psychologically approved written talking points that are meant to have an effect.
That effect predominantly is horrible for the general public and really good for the special interests for the billionaire class
and the multinational globalists that benefit off of these horrible policies
that hurt people more than they help them.
One thing that people need to understand about how these newsrooms work
is that when we hear the story about Jesse Ventura,
people think that some big boss is coming down to the employees
and saying, you will report as I tell you or else. That happens, certainly. But often what they do
is they just recruit people they know to be either docile or who already believe in a certain
ideology or agenda they're pushing. So they will go to they'll see someone tweeting a bunch like
tweeting nonstop about Palestine, saying Israel is bad. Then they'll come to them and say,
you're a really great reporter.
Would you like to be our Middle East reporter?
Knowing this person will frame every story as anti-Israel or pro-Palestine.
The inverse is true in many regards.
It depends on what the corporate entity wants, what kind of idea they want to push.
Why bother hiring someone and then trying to bribe them to say lies
when you could find someone who's already willing to lie or is just really dumb anyway?
And they'll just say what you want to be said well at fox 26 every every word that i would say on air was pre-approved by my boss lee first so there was there was no tightly written scripts
oh yeah so yeah i would i would be sent out to cover a story. I would write a script of what I was going to say on TV.
And then I would send it to her.
And she would make changes if she wanted to and send the script back to me.
And that's what I would say on TV.
So this is happening on local news.
Imagine the bigger effects on national news.
I mean, you could only imagine the level of control that goes through there.
So you worked for Fox Corp, which is not fox news uh right i mean fox news
and fox corp are both owned by the murdochs okay but uh uh you know they're owned by a lot uh
rupert murdoch lachlan murdoch is in charge of fox corp that's rupert's son and fox corp has the
the fox sports i believe fox sports and, and all the Fox local owned stations.
So it is still similar in that regard.
It's a Murdoch company.
Yeah.
You'd think that the media would be cheering for you, calling out Fox, right?
Like these leftists at, say, the Daily Beast would be saying, wow, you've exposed the Murdochs for who they really are trying to force you to lie or
withhold information that's not what they're doing it's really weird so i guess i'll just say
it i think you made the mistake of uh giving an interview to the daily beast right is that what
happened oh yeah i mean i was being blown the media was blowing me up on uh monday i guess it
was and i i guess yeah tuesday and anyway i was just like oh i was like looking at all these
emails and i was like looking at what i recognize oh i recognize the name daily beast that's a media
outlet okay sure yeah i'll talk here's my number and and then uh this lady we had a very nice
conversation and then uh later someone's like oh there's a daily beast article okay i see the
headline opinion piece i i when i saw the headline I instantly knew it was a smear piece.
I haven't even read the article.
I'm not interested in smear piece.
I don't care if someone wants to write a smear, whatever, because I know who I am.
But it's just, okay, I wasted my time on her, whatever.
I think I have the smear piece pulled up.
I could be wrong.
It says, wait, this is why a local fox reporter sabotaged her career ivory hacker told the daily beast on
tuesday that she's been terminated after claiming on air the station has muzzled her this is an
opinion piece yeah i didn't even tell her i'd been terminated i told her this weird situation
that happened where my bosses wouldn't tell me why they were asking for my gear back.
And then I received a text from a third party saying that my boss told him to tell me.
And I was like, okay, this is weird.
And these people are so nice to you, and they're so encouraging,
and they're so friendly, and they're so supportive.
When they talk to you, when they interview you,
and then the stuff they write, your eyeballs pop out.
I mean, we were hanging out around a couple journalists and like you know we talked privately i was like that guy's so full of utter i can't say it here family family i don't i you're being vague because it's
this you're describing many situations there's many of them and then and a lot of them are like
that guy's gonna write the most horrible horrendous hit piece ever he is this he is a disgusting
toothpaste soul energy vampire.
And then people around me,
people around me,
that one girl, she's like,
no, they're going to be great.
He's such a nice guy.
He's so friendly.
I'm like, you could feel and sense energy
when you're in tuned with it
and you just smell the scumbaggery
through a lot of these low-life,
psychopathic individuals
that have sick, twisted personalities
that try to befriend you in this fake, sick way
in order to try to destroy you.
And it's convincing.
A lot of people who aren't experienced
in this larger kind of psychological, crazy trauma abuse
that they're through, they're victims of it.
I'll reveal a little bit about this one situation I think Luke may be referring to.
There was a point where this journalist who had agreed to do an interview
left a wireless microphone on and active at a table and saying,
Bye, I'll see you all later.
And people were still sitting around.
And it seemed like it was meant to catch audio off
the record when we when he left so he could record all of our conversation i'm like there's a hot
microphone a wireless hot microphone i forgot who found it but i was absolutely furious about it
because who goes into your home and leaves a hot microphone inside of your home uh essentially
wiretapping us uh when when we were having private
conversation but but the response was oh it was just an accident we forgot it was there it's no
big deal sure and so i'm not i'm not implying anything by it i'll also uh say it's it's it's
not that i'm condemning that completely outright because look project veritas does undercover
reporting but there there is something different about you agreeing to sit down with a journalist
who then tries to sneak
a microphone into your
house versus
you get caught undercover. But I'm not
trying to act like they're
completely different. But the issue is this
guy came in with an agenda.
We knew he had an agenda. He was extremely weaselly
and it was very obvious the way he was asking questions,
the way he was framing things.
And too many people are trusting of these people to think.
So I'll put it this way.
When your video comes out with Project Veritas, what did the Fox 26 say?
They said it was a falsely, deceptively edited video and misinformation or whatever.
And that's what we hear.
Yeah, but from a disgruntled former employee, implying that because I was fired by Fox, I'm doing this. Everyone knows that's what we hear from a disgruntled former employee implying that be because i was fired by
fox i'm doing this everyone knows that's false i did what i did live on tv while i was working
for fox so it's an obvious false statement from fox maybe that's why would they make themselves
look so bad but so you know what they try they try to make that claim that when you actually
hear people saying these words that they're deceptively editing or whatever,
what these journalists do is they mishmash quotes from you so they can claim you literally said them.
And then they can publish whatever they want.
They can use various tricks so that I can take a quote from you and then I can edit dot, dot, dot,
and take a different quote and mash them together so it makes it sound like you believe in the same things.
They do that.
They do it all the time.
People don't realize it because they assume the media must be telling the truth.
It is easy to do.
There was a famous comedian caught doing this in Australia with the reporter, Avi.
I forgot his exact full name.
Oh, right, right, right.
What's that guy?
Jim Jeffries.
He secretly recorded the interview.
And I had many media publications come to me and be like, we want to do an interview.
I'm like, okay, I'm going to record it too.
As soon as I say that, no.
That guy that we were just referring to was an absolute liar.
He did a huge hit piece.
We don't even want to mention him by name.
We don't want to give him any more attention.
But again, a lot of these people.
Major mainstream publications.
Yeah, major mainstream publications.
And they're so, I smell these guys out like a bloodhound.
Because it's so telling.
It's so true.
And you must have to be like...
It's just hard to believe.
A lot of people have a hard understanding of this
because they wouldn't do it themselves.
I wouldn't do something that they were doing.
I'll give you a personal example
and I'll call out the journalist by name.
Andrew Morantz.
He came to do an interview with me at my apartment
writing for, I think this was The New Yorker
yeah it was The New Yorker
and I told him
this big long story
I was talking for
quite some time
he recorded it actually
he took one story
where I had a quote
and a different story
with a different quote
and he put them together
it's gorgeous
to make completely
different context
amazing
when Vice
because it was about Vice
saw the quote
they got mad and said,
that is not true.
That quote isn't true.
So what the New Yorker did was they removed it, but instead of admitting fault,
they said a quote from Tim Pool has been removed because it contained errors.
It wasn't my error.
But then what happened was many people in media started saying Tim lied
and provided false quotes to the New Yorker because the New Yorker should have come out and said, Andrew Marantz.
Andrew Marantz is a lying, two-faced, duplicitous, fake reporter who makes things up and then doesn't correct himself.
They could have done that.
He could have said, I'm sorry, I made a mistake and I wrote down notes.
I was an accident.
I talked to him on the phone and I said, bro, you have a recording of this.
You came to my house, you turned the recorder on.
And he was like, too bad.
And I'm like, dude, the story I told you,
I've told on my YouTube channel before.
The story that I told you, I have told numerous times.
The quotes you mash together
in no way reflect the story I've told.
And he was like, well,
what we said about removing it was fair and true.
It contained errors.
And I said, yeah, your errors.
So put that it was your error.
And he goes, we're not going to do that.
Yep.
Welcome to the media. And then he's writing this like trivial, meaningless drama that has absolutely no merit on any real life or anybody's else existence.
And I'm like, how do you call yourself a journalist?
Like, how do you look yourself in the mirror?
I know, I know.
But it's just hard to fathom how someone could be so duplicitous.
I had the Southern Poverty Law Center do the same thing about me.
Take two different statements, pull them together as if I was calling for a violent revolution
when I was specifically calling for a nonviolent evolution
of people waking up, informing themselves, and helping out their fellow brothers and sisters
and starting communities. They took two separate quotes, put them together as if I called for a
violent revolution, and they put that on their website, and they put me a part of their patriot
hit list. And I'm like, are you kidding me? I never said this. I recorded the conversation.
There's a video.
There's a YouTube video that they took it from.
And the two exact quotes are in two different positions.
And you just conflated it to try to make me look like somebody I'm not.
So that is deceptive editing.
And what Project Veritas is doing is not deceptive editing.
And the new sound bites I just put out today, a ton of direct from their own lips, my bosses.
It spells out there was no deceptive editing in what project project veritas just released okay go go listen to my new video
it's not real news anymore they are corporations that seek to make money off of infotainment
so project veritas a a non-profit doesn't make money off infotainment.
It makes money off of exposing corruption.
You can argue that, like the Southern Poverty Law Center,
oh, they make money when they get these stories accusing people of being racist.
Oh, Project Veritas makes money when they can accuse someone of malfeasance.
I suppose the difference is that Project Veritas puts out videos where people's mouths are moving,
whereas Southern Poverty Law Center just writes whatever they want, kind of makes things up. Actually, I will say outright makes things up.
They had to retract an article about me and a bunch of other leftists, which is really funny.
They claimed, I love it. I love it. Southern Poverty Law Center, you guys deserve this one.
They claimed that I was alt-right. As most people know, it's a meme because I say I'm mixed race so
often. So I'm definitely not. And they claimed that I went to a Holocaust deniers conference in Iran,
which is like the most insane thing to accuse someone of doing.
Like there's sanctions on this country.
It's very difficult for Americans to go there.
What are you talking about?
Well, it turns out their source for this was a conspiracy theory website
for Holocaust deniers that had been deleted and someone
archived. And the Southern Poverty Law Center thought that was a credible source to publish
on their hate watch or whatever and accuse me of actually going there. And I remember talking to a
lawyer on the phone. He's like, now this is important. You know, if there's going to be a
defamation case here, you need to tell me if you've ever if you've if you've actually gone to something
like this or is there any way that this could be construed as just his opinion
on the matter and i was like i've never been to iran this is insane it was a conspiracy theory
website and he's like okay all right and then the southern poverty law center had to retract that
their goal is just to make money off of shotgun and here's the really sad thing is that the media
puts a lot of weight on what the southern Poverty Law Center says. When I was
with the NBC affiliate in Minneapolis, there was a story
that I was, there was actually anti-jihad protest
happening that I was assigned to. And the group who was protesting jihad,
the Southern Poverty Law Center had listed as a
terrorist group, I guess, or a hate group.
And so my TV station actually told me, don't go interview them.
We don't want to give a hate group time of day on camera.
So because this little law center said that this group is a hate group, they were about to get zero airtime.
They couldn't even explain themselves why they were protesting jihad.
And so I objected.
I was like, absolutely not.
I am going to interview the people doing this protest, and I'm going to interview the people they're protesting.
And I'm going to show exactly both sides.
And when I put it together,
I had both sides going back and forth and it was incredibly compelling.
And it turns out these,
these people were protesting the abuse of children.
They were abused,
protesting child marriages.
They were protesting oppression of women.
That's what these people were protesting.
They were,
they were doing the opposite of hate.
They were,
they were standing up for women's rights.
Which, by the way, because jihad, there's different
layers of jihad. Some people, there's different layers.
But they were protesting the radical
jihad. They were taking a stand against it. But anyway, I went
and interviewed
uh the islamic group that that stands firmly with jihad too it was very interesting story but i had
to put my foot down on that story but a lot of reporters and news people are pushovers you want
they don't want to interject and say that i want to that i want to interview this person
because god forbid that oh she likes to give hate groups the time of day no
we're trying to get to the bottom of the truth on this now when i worked for fusion there was a
pitch from one of our producers they wanted to go and film a clan training like like actual clan
members of which there's very few there's a few thousand in the country remaining i think
and people at fusion said we don't want to give a hate group coverage. It's bad. Well, Vice ended
up doing something similar. They embedded with a bunch of alt-right and white nationalists in
Charlottesville and won a bunch of awards for it. They actually had a reporter go into the hotel
room of white nationalists, allow these white nationalists to say any and everything, and they
won an award for it. So long as you are part of their cult
and you and and and it for whatever reason they accept it then you get to do it but if you
challenge them in any way if you're not bending the knee to their indoctrination then they'll
remove you and say you can't it's just i feel like the media is so easily manipulated i think
there's a lot of innocent naive media members who don't realize they're
being manipulated by groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center, who is peer pressuring them
into not talking to people who were actually standing up for individuals' rights.
After there were some lawsuits, the SPLC took down their slander of me because they were getting
sued left and right. But Chris Matthews of MSNBC on his primetime program said that there's a rise of racist,
right-wing teabaggers with groups like We Are Change.
And I'm like, wait, what?
Are you kidding me?
So I made sure to doorstep and to confront Chris Matthews face to face.
And I was like, hey, Chris, you called my independent news organization that strives
to do independent reporting,
a right-wing racist teabagging group.
Explain yourself.
Why?
This is slander.
He's like, I never said that.
I was like, yes, you did.
He was like, no, I didn't.
I don't know what you're talking about.
And I'm like, okay, here, wait, let me show you the clip.
I literally pulled up the clip, and as he's watching it, he's like, oh, crap.
And I'm like, answer right now, because you slandered, you lied about me to the entire world.
Answer to it right now.
He had no answer.
He was running away, scurrying away.
And I'm like, you know, these people have no spines.
They can't back up what they say.
You can see the video right now.
We are change.
Chris.
Sorry.
Matthews.
Chris Matthews.
I was confusing him with Chris Martinson.
Oh, no.
Chris, but yeah, yeah.
MSNBC, we are changed.
He sounds a lot like my bosses.
Every time I would confront them about something they said, they'd be like, I didn't say that.
I didn't say that.
I'm like, well, I recorded you.
In fact, early on, when they really started going after me, it just blindsided.
I was so confused.
You know, I've had three years of great relationships
with my bosses made no sense. So I, I did start recording to protect myself, but I actually emailed
them soundbites of themselves to prove to them that I was recording them and that they were lying.
Oh, you're saying you didn't say this. Here's your recording that you said that. And here's the thing.
They continue to go after me even, even after I did that. But I have a funny story of how I first heard about you too. It wasn't
until after this started happening that I first heard about you. Cause I was, you know, I was
zoned into this, the corporate media life. I don't do alternative media like you guys. Right.
But, uh, so I had just, I had, it was like two weeks after I had covered Dr. Verone's hydroxychloroquine.
And they came after me like none other.
And I went to climb a mountain.
I actually, because I do, my hobby is producing these songs that I write because songs come to me through inspiration.
And so I was like, let me just do something with these.
So last year I just started doing something with the music that I wrote.
Anyway, I had gone to Colorado.
I had written a song with the metaphor of mountains in it,
so I wanted to shoot a music video in the mountains.
Like, this is my hobby.
Let's go all out.
Let's film a music video, too.
So I'm climbing the mountain with my cameraman,
and I was telling him about this insanity that I'm dealing with at Fox
and how I'm having to at Fox and, uh, how I'm
having to record my record them to protect myself. And, um, and he was like, yeah, he's like, you
should just get out of there as soon as possible and, and do be just like Tim pool, just do the
thing. And, uh, I was like, who's that? And, and so then he told me about your youtube i and then i saw this huge
cult following you have and i was like wow and then i started watching you and and i was like
wow he does great youtube shows like this is this is way more informative than our newscast well now
uh i'm trying to get more and more journalists to original reporting and so we just had a
conversation with one guy who's going to do a lot of original policy and culture stuff. And it's going to be fantastic because I can't count on these other
outlets to do it. You know, it's funny how we read a lot of these outlets and we assume the news is
true if it makes sense. Right. CNN can put out a story. They had a story today. China sends 28
warplanes to invade Taiwan. China sent 28 warplanes to invade Taiwanese airspace
crossing over this like demarcation line or something. And I just assume it's true,
even though I know CNN lies all the time. I mean, it's foreign policy. Why wouldn't it be true?
It's the Gell-Mann amnesia effect. The only problem is it's something else. It's Gell-Mann
cognitive dissonance because I can come out all day and night and say CNN lies left and right.
They're full of garbage. And then when I see a news story about foreign policy, I can only assume it's true.
I'm like, are they lying about this now?
Well, you know what?
Probably.
But what am I supposed to do?
That's all I can do.
It's incredible when you really think like how much of the news I'm seeing is even factual.
And I think a lot of this, a lot of it is not the journalists being, I mean, a lot of
journalists, like I said, I think are, it's a combination of lazy, overworked, understaffed,
and just journalists who don't want to seriously dig in.
I think journalists are very easily manipulated by their sources,
and I think some of these fake news stories we're getting are from aggressive sources
who know how to manipulate the reporter.
Have you ever read the book Trust Me, I'm Lying by Ryan Holiday?
No, I haven't.
That guy's a genius.
He is, yeah.
You should definitely check out that book.
He talks about how easy it was to manipulate the media.
One of my favorite stories from this guy, Ryan Holiday.
Check him out.
He's awesome.
He's got a podcast.
What is it, The Daily Stoic?
Yeah.
He's amazing.
Dude, I love it
he was promoting
this guy Tucker Max
that was his name right
Tucker Max
I'm not sure
okay well
was that his name Luke
I don't know
I'm looking
yes
alright we're getting a yes
from another camera guy
so he was promoting this guy
and so he came up with
a really good idea
they bought a billboard
and I could be ruining
I could be getting the story wrong
it's been a little while
but the story is basically this
yeah Tucker Max
they put up a billboard and then they personally vandalized the billboard.
Then the next day, he calls the radio station, and he goes, I'm driving down the street,
and I see this billboard.
It's all vandalized.
Apparently, this Tucker Max guy is like a bigot and a misogynist.
So then the local media was like, oh, what happened?
Somebody vandalized.
So the media got on it, reported the story, giving free press to Tucker Max. And then I guess they organized the protest against
themselves so that they could generate press for his book or movie or whatever. And it worked.
Wow. It is so incredibly easy to manipulate the press. And I think that's one of the big problems
when the media is decaying, struggling to make money as the landscape changes,
and they're easily manipulated by activist groups, it just becomes an activist apparatus.
That's what it is.
Either it's going to sell more waffles or whatever from the Ego Corporation or whatever, whatever company is trying to sell.
So they've got to make the most punchy confirmation, biased news.
Or the activists have taken over, like at the New York Times.
You know, we saw Barry Weiss quit because she's like,
people in the New York Times are like nervous
and it's being taken over by this indoctrinated,
you know, these indoctrinated,
this cult mentality and stuff.
So now what do we get?
Well, when you read the news,
you're probably just reading ideological garbage,
especially when it comes to domestic stuff.
That's what it's been like for millennia.
Like I think about Julius Caesar,
he'd go to battle
and then he'd write the history report about what the battle was about he'd
write about who the enemies were if he even wrote about him at all and i mean we didn't even have
what's called a press until they invented the printing press which is like 500 year old
technology the idea of a press and then even in the last 80 or 100 years that we had it be you'd
be allowed to speak out against your government vocally with the American democracy before you just get killed or put in prison.
But it is different.
History being written by the victors is not the same as a massive media apparatus writing things that serve a political goal in the end.
If Caesar was going out telling everybody that he had already won the war before it started or that, you know, making up lies to guarantee and manipulate the public, that's more akin.
And I'm sure many of you would do that.
Right, exactly.
You want to control the population.
The difference is subtle, I suppose.
But you make a good point.
It's always about these powerful groups that want to manipulate poor people, keep knowledge away from them so they can't rise up so they can't protect themselves and so they're working basically as serfs or i guess back in rome slaves for the empire i think
it goes back to i mean conspiracy alert the bible lucifer the light bringer who gave the technology
of light to the people i don't know that that he did that well they call him the light bringer
so i'm trying to think why would they call him the light bringer well well if he gave to think, why would they call him the light bringer? Did he give electricity to people like Zeus had electricity, that light bulb?
If you didn't read it, you probably shouldn't make assumptions about what the story is.
I'm all over the place, Ted.
Well, if you look even at the history of the printing press,
this was something that was pushed back by the establishment,
by the powers that be that didn't want the printing press
because they didn't want people reading certain scriptures,
certain documents, because it empowered them. And whenever we have new technology come,
it gives us a small window, a small opportunity to actually talk to one another, to find out what
the world is really like. And one of the most important powers you could have in this world
is controlling the free flow of information. And then you could usually correlate in a society how free the press is to how free the people are.
And if people are under a press that is tightly controlled by special interests,
by intelligence agencies, by people like Udo Ufkert,
who was a prominent German journalist who openly talked about how the CIA was writing press releases,
that the mainstream media was just regurgitating.
Whenever you have a tightly controlled mainstream media that just regurgitates the talking points of the special interests,
of the powers that be, you have a people that aren't free.
You expect me to do what?
Research the press release and actually write a news story about it?
Okay, listen, listen.
I'm busy.
I've got Ikea doing a delivery later today, so I want to go home early. press release and actually write a news story about it okay listen listen i i'm busy i'm i've
got ikea doing a delivery later today so i want to go home early let me just copy and paste the
press release from joe biden onto the website so i can leave already heaven forbid i have to
actually fact check the man that's uh that's how newsrooms operate basically yeah because if one
of the facts turns out to make joe biden look bad that could cast accusations at you as a journalist.
That's right.
And that's why I'm putting out these recordings, especially the one that I just put out tonight,
because I want to show why reporters self-censor themselves to protect themselves.
They want to avoid going through exactly what I went through.
A lot of reporters live in fear, fear of losing their job or being hurt some way by their bosses.
Substack.
Do you have a substack yet?
No.
Maybe do that.
It's working out for Glenn Greenwald and Michael Tracy.
Oh, that's right.
Okay, someone was sending me something about that.
People can throw you a couple bucks and you just write stories.
And then you're supported by your readers who expect you to do a good job. something about that. People can throw you a couple bucks and you just write stories and then
you're your users, you're supported by your readers who expect you to do a good job. And if
you do a bad job, you lose their support. Now, there's there's there's a problem there, too.
Obviously, if you write a bunch of articles talking about how Trump is, you know, God Emperor,
obviously, you'll get Trump superfans who will sign up. And the moment you say he's not,
many of those people will leave. So there's still a confirmation bias problem in memberships as well that's right that's what we saw with the aclu see the aclu defended
the right of the uh defended the right to free speech of the unite the right people in charlottesville
and they got attacked for it and panicked they had gained so many new members donating monthly
because they challenged trump on his travel ban. So then when they defended Unite the Right,
they started bleeding users like members like crazy who are like,
oh, you're supporting bigots.
So then the ACLU flipped.
And now they're this weird organization that claims to protect free speech,
but very much does not defend civil rights at all.
We call it the Anti-Civil Liberties Union.
I love it.
Yeah, because they've certainly become a vile disgusting organization
that actually seeks to suppress rights and not support them the same is true for free press my
favorite my favorite free press.net what do you think they're all about well they had a big
campaign to make sure alex jones was banned from the internet because you know that's what a free
press is all about banning wrong think wow the modern era is a creepy time you know but i that we can have these conversations, at the very least, for as long as we can have them.
Because, you know, we're constantly under threat of getting banned.
A lot of people don't think they're like, oh, Tim says he's going to ban.
It's never going to happen.
It's like, dude, we've already got a warning on this channel.
We're seeing what they're doing to Steven Crowder.
We're seeing what they're doing to smaller channels.
It just so happens that I'm
a bit more milquetoast than many of those people, but it's only a matter of time. The narrative must
be protected at all costs. What YouTube and many of these other big tech companies want is they
want to homogenize perspective. They want to get rid of anything that falls outside of the narrative
so they can easily control it. It's like Micah Brzezinski said, it's our job to control exactly
what people think. She said it verbatim. Let's just pullah Brzezinski said, it's our job to control exactly what people think.
She said it verbatim.
Let's just pull it up again
so no one can say I'm lying from Grabian.
Our job is to control exactly what people think.
Oh, she came out later and said,
no, no, no, I meant not.
Shut up, lady.
We know what you think you are.
We know what you think you're doing.
We know what MSNBC is doing or CNN.
They lie.
Yeah, and she, her father was a very prominent person that played a very key role in American politics, in American geopolitics.
Zbigniew Brzezinski, that was Jimmy Carter's presidential advisor, a part of the Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg, Council on Foreign Relations, and really pulled a lot of strings.
When you look at organizations like the Council on Foreign Relations, there's a reason why they allow so many journalists a part of their secretive club.
There's a reason they have so many off-the-record meetings between people in high positions of power and the mainstream media,
and they work kind of in tandem here.
And that's why we have to understand here there's so much power.
There's so much cause and effect by information.
And when you could tightly control it, you could do so many amazing things, but you could also do so many awful things.
And when you look at the history of the mainstream media, I mean, if there's an honest, good-working YouTube moderator out there, which I doubt, but if there is, just please, please look at the record of the mainstream media.
And look how many times they were wrong, and look how many times independent media has been right calling things out.
Small mom-and-pop operations have been calling things out correctly for so long.
We finally have the opportunity to be heard.
And that opportunity is closing down every single day with algorithms, deplatforming, demonetizations.
There's so many things standing in the way.
And that's why, you know, what you were doing with Timcast.com, what other people are doing, starting their own platform, starting their own services,
and your guys' participation in it is absolutely crucial because you need to not only vote with your dollar,
but vote with your attention, with your clicks, with your shares, and it means everything.
And I really think we're seeing that happen.
I think that the ratings and the readers and everything is moving away from
the establishment media
to the alternative media.
This is the era of the independent journalism.
I don't think we're the alternative media anymore. I think collectively
we're getting more traffic, aren't we?
Exactly.
But they consider,
I think they would consider you alternative.
But here's the thing.
That's like an old man saying, get off my lawn.
Exactly.
And who cares what the establishment, anyone thinks?
Because the viewers, the actual citizens, are gravitating to the truth seekers.
Yeah, you know, I think one of the biggest problems that we have in society,
people getting scared of what the establishment thinks.
Who cares?
Literally, who cares?
Or having a hit piece on them, which now is a badge of honor.
Now I see the mainstream media trashing someone,
I'm going to be like, okay, well, let me do a little bit of research
and not believe them point blank,
because there's usually an agenda to try to trash or bring someone down,
or even just an egotistical push to bring someone down for the algorithm.
So there's a lot of manipulation happening behind the scenes.
Being aware of it, being conscious,
being able to take a few moments to breathe
and take a step back and look at the larger picture
is something that more and more people need to do.
And sadly, the mainstream media doesn't like that.
They don't want you thinking.
They don't want you conscious.
They don't want you in a state
that you're not in a constant fear state,
that you're not in a constant stress state,
that you're not in a constant consumer state, that you're not in a constant stress state, that you're not in a constant consumer state
because bad consumers is bad for business,
bad for advertisers, bad for the overall agenda.
It's so interesting.
The harder they push for that,
they're getting the opposite of what they're trying for.
It's freaking people out and causing them to think for themselves
and seek out answers for themselves.
But there is a weird divide where some people, I think, know something's wrong, but they
refuse to speak out because they're cowards, right?
Oh, 100%.
In the media?
Absolutely.
So you know what, man?
I'd love for the people who recognize what's happening to finally step up, speak out, be
brave, and contact James O'Keefe.
100%.
And expose corruption. And let me tell you, we've already heard from several insiders in newsrooms who are saying they're ready to kind of follow in my footsteps.
So there's going to be more exposes?
Are you?
If these people follow through.
And look, I'm going to be there for them.
I know James is going to be there for them.
I'll hire everybody.
Seriously. there for them. I know James is going to be there for them. I'll hire everybody.
There's so many people
who are ready to hire you and donate to you
and support you if you want to
break away
from this media, which is really a cult.
Cults worship something
and what they worship is the narrative.
Break free. Be a true journalist.
It's really hard to be a true journalist
in the corporations.
In some beats, in some news beats, you can do great journalism.
Like the crime beat, they would let me cover crime.
No problem.
Other beats, okay, now.
I don't know about that so much anymore.
I mean, there's this really funny story where they said that there's a lot of memes going around about stop Asian hate and the perpetrators being black men.
And this report, I think it was from NBC News, said,
but when we actually looked at all known suspects in the media,
we found 75% were white, and therein lies the problem.
Many outlets have straight up said they will not reveal the race of an individual
if it would produce a harmful stereotype or contribute to one.
So you want to cover crime, don't be surprised if, you know,
there was this moment in Sweden where a guy committed a crime.
And so the media pixelated his face and then changed the tone behind the pixels because we want to avoid racist stereotypes.
It's like,
uh,
or recently it was the Austin.
There was a shooting in Texas and the newspaper didn't want to describe the suspect.
That was that large.
That was that large that people were looking for that shot up a nightclub.
And the newspaper refused even to talk about who he was.
I had a coworker who did that in Minneapolis when I was with NBC.
She covered a crime story.
This guy is on the loose after committing a vicious crime.
Typically, when we're doing that, at the end of the story, we say, hey, guys, please look out for this guy.
Here's his full description.
Call police if you see him.
She refused to do that part of the story, helping catch this criminal because he was black.
And she didn't want to say a description like that.
And she now works for CNN.
Oh, wow. CNN probably recruited her the moment they say a description like that. And she now works for CNN. Wow.
Oh, wow.
CNN probably recruited her the moment they heard that she did that.
They were like, that's the kind of... No, but I'm not kidding.
They probably said someone who will just say what she's told to say
without arguing, without needing to be bribed.
I mean, look, you get a real journalist,
and how much money you got to pay them to bend them?
You get an ideologue, and you can be like,
we're actually docking your pay because you're racist.
Please go tell the world and say, okay. CNN just hired that guy that got caught spanking it.
I mean, they have no integrity at all.
And if you really this is this is advice for the viewers out there.
If you want to see what someone someone is about, look at the fruits of their labor.
CNN attacks grandmothers who make Facebook pages, attacks other journalists, attacks people like us, independent journalists.
They punch down.
When you look at independent media, when you look at other people that do actual reporting,
they're punching up.
They're going after actual institutions with actual power that actually have an effect on your life.
You look at who gets targeted, that's how you should judge a person and judge a news organization by.
It's not just the media.
I mean, it's the cultural left, democratic party what are they going after this tiny sect of trump
supporters as evil and it's like you guys control all the cultural institutions in the government
you're the big guy stomping on a little guy but i absolutely love how cnn went to the home of an
old woman and started yelling questions at her in full view of her house and address and that's okay
social media twitter got no problem with it.
James O'Keefe blurs the address and confronts somebody.
Banned.
Or that was Project Veritas, I believe.
That's what got their official account banned.
Then eventually Twitter does ban James O'Keefe.
You know, I think it's fairly obvious.
James O'Keefe, Project Veritas, all of the great reporters.
They do great journalism.
Empowered by people like you who blow the whistle and call out
the malfeasance.
And that's really scary to the establishment.
It's like they defeated journalism.
These evil, demonic individuals were probably laughing that journalism had finally been
conquered and was over.
Then along comes small independent channels, small organizations like Project Veritas,
and they grow and they're becoming more successful.
Now look how panicked they are.
They never know if whoever they're talking to
could be undercover for Project Veritas.
I've never cared.
You know why?
The things I say privately
are the same things I say on this show.
100%.
Exactly.
That's how I feel.
Now, don't get me wrong.
Like the narrative of you have nothing
to hide you have nothing to worry about is very bad when it comes to an authoritarian police state
but you look at these companies and how worried they are about how someone could be veritas and
the security protocols they got to do and it's kind of like be honest like if if somebody from
veritas secretly recorded somebody who worked here and said something dumb i'd be like well i guess
i said something dumb i don't know there you go exactly exactly yeah yeah media is uh it's kind of like they're functioning as a
paramilitary corp the media like they're an arm of the secretive military because if you're in
the military you can't say whatever you have you have clearance and classification and you're under
strict orders not to and it's all it seems like they've been they've been co-opted to do the job of the military.
It really is.
Fourth-generation warfare, and now here these people are whipping people into shape
and getting them in line and telling them what to think and what to do.
You know what's funny is when it comes to the Second Amendment,
you get these anti-gun Democrats who are like,
do you really think you're going to go to war with the United States government?
They've got nuclear missiles.
And the first response is, you can't occupy a street corner with a nuclear missile.
Are you dumb?
You look at Afghanistan, Vietnam.
It's an individual with a gun which can control a neighborhood or a building or resources.
And then I think about it.
You don't need to occupy the street at all if you occupy the minds of the people.
If the only information they can get access to tells them whatever you want them to think,
well, there you go. You know, and I'll mention
this, because I used to watch Star Trek The Next Generation
all the time. I've seen every episode a million
times, but before the show, and people
commented I should watch Stargate SG-1.
So I started watching Stargate
SG-1, and in this show,
advanced aliens pretend to be
gods to control and manipulate
human populations to use them as slaves.
That's what I'm talking about, dude.
That's why I brought up Lucifer earlier.
Just saying.
But the idea is they don't need to use weapons to subjugate these people.
They've convinced them of an ideology, and those people are willingly serving now.
I think that we're doing that without realizing it.
I mean, we worship the dollar.
Oh, 100%.
Well, the alien disclosures are coming very soon.
It's going to be nothing.
With the New York Post just reporting,
quote, UFOs could threaten U.S. security,
politicians say after Capitol Hill briefing.
I'm suspicious that's a distraction.
Yeah.
When you have Barack Obama and Neil deGrasse Tyson
talking about how there's UFOs out there
and how we need more money for the military,
you should start asking yourself some questions about what's really going on here because it's not
usually what they say.
Right.
Oh, they're using the UFOs as an excuse to get more military.
Barack Obama made a specific statement saying, you know, we're going to find out that aliens
are real and this is going to mean we're going to have to increase the military budget.
That's his own words from.
But what if aliens are real? Could be. There's there's a possibility in there. We have to be the military budget that's his own words uh from but what if aliens are real
could be there's there's a possibility in there we have to be intellectually honest
i i think there is a big chance that they are but what if obama is basically ozzy mendias
staging a fake alien invasion to force people to unite right and and give up their freedoms
like in the pandemic i just hope that's not the case you know yeah well we'll see time will play
out but the best friend you could have is skepticism in this modern day and age where
information well that block 17 you know firearms second uh there's a reason the first amendment
was first second amendment is second uh they protect each other they're very integral and
people in gated communities and private bodyguards shouldn't be telling people that they need to be
disarmed um i think i think they need to be disarmed.
I think people need to become more responsible. As much as we can rag on the authoritarian move for the Great Reset, I can certainly say while authoritarianism, the manipulation of people through lies and deception, all that's wrong.
Hey, man, people need to start becoming more responsible for themselves, self-reliant.
Everybody should go out more responsible for the food they eat.
We grow grass in our lawns.
That's a stupid idea.
We should have gardens with vegetables that you can grow and you can be responsible for some of the food you eat.
You should exercise.
You should read books.
Get away from the cities.
Pollute less.
Be, you know, more in tune with what it's like to actually survive and be responsible for yourself.
And you know what?
This criticism is mostly towards people in cities because the people in the rural areas
basically know all this already.
The people in cities live in cubicles stacked on top of each other in cities that smell
like sour milk and then complain about the problems they've created.
These people need to get with the program and learn how to be human again.
You practice what you preach.
When did you move out here?
We're in the country.
Well, so someone chatted
at the beginning of the show that I only
decided to move out to the middle of nowhere once I had
money. And it's like, I moved
to the middle. I was on
a farm in the Redlands, which is
basically 40 miles outside of Miami. I don't want to pretend
like it's the most rural place ever,
but I lived on a farm with chickens. This was
2015. This was when I was working for Fusion. I didn't
want to be in a city back then.
And so I did move back to the New York area and then slowly moved away. And now we're more in the middle of nowhere, but not in the middlest of nowhere.
I will say, once Starlink goes live, we'll probably go way more middle of nowhere.
But we're trying to strike the balance between people can fly here pretty easily.
Yeah, necessarily.
And we're kind of far away from you know big cities
so we've got a big garden we're growing vegetables we've got chickens man so we got one chicken it
was a rehome laying eggs every day we got too many eggs already because we don't eat eggs every day
so we had like six today and i was like wow so i'd like i gotta eat these eggs and then but we've
got six other we've got five other chickens turns out one of them's a rooster so we're gonna have
tons of eggs all the time.
We're going to have like six eggs per day.
And that's just from the chickens eating the bugs.
That's amazing.
Eating the bugs, eating the grass, and they give us eggs.
I love that.
Yeah, being responsible more for ourselves.
That's what I'm saying.
We are getting solar panels installed.
We're trying to be more energy efficient.
We have our own water system.
We want to have our own electrical system.
When I talk about environmentalism, I mean it.
You know, we have a – oh, yeah, but we use these corn plastic biodegradable cups that aren't like regular cups.
You look at these celebrities that talk about climate change, they don't actually mean it.
They fly in private jets.
They live in these big mansions.
They consume ridiculous amounts of power.
They buy beachfront property while claiming the beaches are going to be wiped out by rising ocean water.
And I'm like, that's just hypocrisy.
You know what?
Too many people live in these cities.
They're gluttonous.
They do very little work in exchange for tons of money while thinking they're poor.
And I'm not trying to be mean to people who live in cities who think they're poor. But, man, if you live in a big city and you can walk outside and go for a buck and get a cheeseburger, you're doing better than 99.9% of the entire planet.
And now they've lived in such a way that they've lost touch with what it actually means to be responsible for your own health and safety and security.
They've deferred everything to the mainstream media to tell them what to do and what to think.
And then they complain about it.
They complain about the system instead of realizing they're being lied to. And it's time to roll up
your sleeves and actually do some hard work. Amen. I think people are getting that more than
more people than ever are not trusting the media. Yeah. And I'm optimistic. You know, I'm fairly
pessimistic in terms of talking about war and conflict and especially with Joe Biden saying the Fed, you know, people should snitch on their family members and the Fed's wanting to go after extremists.
But I think about, hey, Timcast.com.
We're doing really well.
We're hiring people.
We've got a newsroom just launching.
There's a lot of difficult challenges ahead, but I'm 100 percent confident we're going to succeed.
And operating under that assumption,
what does the next five, 10 years look like? A large independent news outlet challenging the
lives of the mainstream media and helping clear away the noise, helping people understand what's
actually happening and choose for themselves how they should live and how they should vote.
That makes me optimistic. I mean, we're doing something here and we're going to bring in more
people to do more things. Everybody else should do the same should do the same agreed yeah we're working on a what have you
ever heard the fediverse no it's uh it's like different social networks like mastodon and and
other types i don't know there's a few other ones that where they all interoperate all these
different social networks so like you could you could be on like minds and i could be on youtube
and i could subscribe to your minds channel and then tim could be on twitter and subscribe to me on youtube from twitter and then we can
all have like our own feeds whereas it'd be like your website my website tim so it's we'd all have
our own independent sites oh that's neat very cool oh my gosh i like that yeah yeah that's
gonna be the future of independent media because up until internet video there what independent
media i don't know what it was alex jones screaming in his on the radio then it was youtube but then we realized that it's not independent if it's on if it's on
corporate yeah it was public access alex jones got to start by literally going down to the local
public access station that filmed on some cable news channels and that was where he got his start
so this will be the next public access but we're gonna going to have to get off ISPs. That'll be the big next step
after we get off the social networks. What's an ISP?
Internet service provider. Oh, right.
So like Verizon could
shut down your internet access if they
didn't like it. Or Amazon with
Parler, right? Yeah, Amazon has the hosting
service. So then you also have your DNS
which could shut down your...
So you got to get off the ISPs and you got to get off the
DNS. Oh, I see. Wow. Oh, my gosh.
Yeah.
It's a big, big problem.
I mean, it's...
So we're wired in. It's going to be...
Yeah, we've got to figure that out.
The goal is to create an open source software
that the average person can just put on,
like you go to a server service,
then you install this program,
which gives you a basic subscription service
website. So imagine Substack, but it's yours. It's your website with your open source code
operating this. And then people who like your content can become members, sign up to pay so
that you can do your own work. The goal of this is, let's say you start a Substack, which is where
a lot of these journals have gone. Well, they can ban you.
They can say, we don't like what you're saying.
Imagine you start a Patreon.
They will ban you because they've already done that to a lot of people.
So we want to make something that's harder to ban.
Not impossible to ban.
I mean, your domain registrar or your server company, they could still terminate services to you, but it makes it harder to do. So hopefully we get to that point where people can just buy server space,
buy a domain, drop a program into their server and execute it,
and then boom, they've got a functioning website.
Add some graphics, done.
You probably will happen as well of mesh networks,
and our phones will be our servers.
I think that'll be the future.
Wow. Yeah. That'd be a great's uh there's actually apps that do this so i went on a cruise several years ago no there's no phone service so what they did was everyone
had turned on bluetooth and you downloaded this app where it connects every phone to each other
so if you send a message to your friend who's on the other side of the cruise, your phones will, your phone will hit this guy's phone with that guy's phone and then bounce
around all the way until it makes it to the end. And then that guy gets the message. So
each phone was acting like a cell tower. It's amazing.
Yeah, they did something similar at Burning Man. But just very curiously, I mean, you
just did this. Do you have any plans moving forward? Where are you going to be going from
here?
I want to continue doing independent journalism somehow.
I'm just, I'm really, I have a bad taste in my mouth about corporate news. I don't want to be a part of any corporation.
And I really am craving some solitude right now, like just being alone for a while i am working on this really important story
that i mentioned to you guys of finishing bringing this full circle that what started
with dr varone last august and and fox clamping down so hard on that story i'm digging back in
and saying let's get to the bottom what have we learned in in a year let's talk to the bottom. What have we learned in a year? Let's talk to the researchers, the doctors.
And I even got a one-on-one with World Health Work, guys.
Wow.
Yeah, so I'm looking forward to putting it.
I've already shot this story.
I'm going to put it out.
So I'm already working on this first independent report.
And I want to continue doing journalism and, you know, and I want to, yeah, I just
want to be authentic and, and not owned by anyone.
And I just want some freedom and peace.
And, and I, I do need to figure out how to monetize myself.
Um, but you know, I'm, I'm open to a lot of things.
Um, I want to keep doing journalism, but I also i also i i love my music and i have all these
songs that came like through inspiration like a lot of my songs come in my sleep it's just like
completely inspired so i want to just work on my songs because i haven't had time with all the
chaos that happened with fox and um and then fitness is another thing i'm passionate about
and i actually when when i really was like okay okay, I've got to get out of Fox,
I actually bought a personal training program.
And I was like, I'm going to get certified as a personal trainer because I enjoy fitness.
And, you know, why not monetize something you enjoy?
So I'm open to doing, like, a few different things and just, you and just continuing to do what I'm passionate about.
Right on.
Well, how about we take some super chats?
If you have not already, smash the Like button.
It really does help out the channel.
And subscribe to this channel.
Share the show with your friends.
And don't forget, go to TimCast.com because we will have a bonus segment around 11 p.m.
is usually when it goes up.
That will be for members only, but your membership helps support
the fierce independent journalism,
which we will be expanding upon.
Right now, Cassandra Fairbanks
is leading the charge,
but we've been going through resumes,
we've been having phone calls,
and we're probably gonna be adding people
very, very soon.
And the new website will be up
within the next month or so,
so it's gonna be beautiful and amazing.
You guys rock.
Let's go to these super chats.
All right.
Cryptic says,
Tim, check out Junius Maltby
YouTube channel.
He calls out the Fed
and talks about sound money.
Very, very cool.
Jacob Wilson says,
they are taking away
your notifications.
I know.
Yeah.
A lot of people
don't get notified
that we go live anymore.
It's weird.
I don't think it's weird.
I think it's absolutely on par for what YouTube is doing,
especially when we're hosting conversations like this.
Why does that work?
So you click the subscribe, you click the bell button,
and click it to all notifications, and then you still don't get it?
Still don't get it.
Is that because other things are prioritized?
No, it's because YouTube is pretending to actually be fair.
Come to think of it, I haven't gotten notifications about you
recently. See? And we've
got, I'm not going to name anybody, but we've got a really
big week coming up with a bunch of
people that's like,
we're going to be, you ever see those videos
of like the Russian dudes who climb on cranes
and like dangle with one arm?
That's basically what we're doing
next week in terms of YouTube
banning us. So we're doing next week in turn in terms of youtube banning us so
we're bringing we got some big names and we're basically gonna be dangling off the edge of that
crane confident we can pull ourselves up and not get banned but uh conversations gotta happen like
i have my limits i always say like there are some things that youtube doesn't allow you to talk
about we'll be very careful because i don't want to sacrifice 99% of the conversation for 1%. But there's a limit.
YouTube saying you can't say the sky
is blue or 2 plus 2 equals 5 is a limit.
It's like, nah, we can't get to that point.
We gotta have real conversations.
Alright.
SheebyGB says, any chance I could
get a shout out for the horror show I co-host
called Visited by Voices?
We spotlight lesser known creators
in the community. Hey, there you go.
Shout out.
Here's good news.
Frank Perez says, Tim, we can officially constitutional carry in the great state of Texas starting
September 1st.
It's about time.
Geez.
Seriously.
Yeah.
Oh, I've got a story on that one.
They definitely, they assigned me to that story when it goes, was going through the
legislature there because, you know, I'm a Texas reporter and it was all about racial groups.
Oh,
how,
how,
how will racial groups react to this legislation?
And they actually,
they assigned me to my,
um,
to what I do.
One story on how women are reacting and affected.
And when I,
on how black people are reacting and they,
it was weird, but we can get into it later.
People like guns?
They actually sent me specifically to Third Ward,
which is known to be the blackest part of Houston,
and then to a barber shop specifically to get reaction on guns.
Wow.
All right, we got Black Czar.
He says, due to CRT DIE training,
talent has been leaving our armed
forces. Some quit and form local
militias. Those are facts. Now suppose
some of them left believing CRT,
but came to pro-white conclusions.
That's what the government fears,
that the genie is out of the bottle. That's a
really interesting point. Good point. Yeah.
Identitarianism can be for any
race, and critical race theory basically teaches
that it tells people to
segregate. Or I should say, applied
racial theory is what we're seeing at these schools.
They're telling children to do
and believe things. And it results
in white people saying, okay,
and there was a school
district in California that actually said
they wanted to trigger a white racial awakening
in children.
Okay, great.
Jacob Richardson says, I can verify that the anti-extremism and wokeness CRT and diversity trainings are causing people to leave the military.
Example, me, Captain, USMCR.
Wow.
Not surprised.
Yeah, well, who's left?
A bunch of woke cultists.
That's pretty good.
Yes, man.
That would do anything a lot of people mentioning that constitutional carry was just signed into law i think that's absolutely
fantastic we have that up in new hampshire and it's pretty awesome nice cole gibson says give
this girl a job i'd actually i'll actually subscribe subscribe to your website if i can
listen to her reporting you want to talk about backbones well you know that's right
there's a lot of comments saying that jake are saying it jake wiggington says my mother is a
nurse who worked the entire pandemic the hospital she worked at used this drug very often and it
saved many lives the entire time interesting i wonder what drug that's talking about
you should always talk to your doctor no no no i mean this i'm i'm
really bothered by this because my friend who got who got uh sick it was like um he didn't he didn't
go through an analysis of his medical history oh and so i i will say i think to be fair look i know
i know almost everybody i know like from back home got vaccinated totally fine and i've got
one friend uh two people i know one one friend and someone close to my family
who have gotten sick.
And I think it's because they didn't do a proper assessment of their medical histories.
And when I talked to him about it, I actually think we found, you know, the reason that
was like, hey, this is why you probably got sick.
This is, you know, you should have talked to your doctor.
Why they had a breakthrough case of COVID?
Like they got COVID after vaccination?
Before.
Okay.
So there have been some stories about that.
So there have been doctors who have said, if you get COVID, you have to wait before you can get the vaccine.
I'm not telling you to do anything, okay?
YouTube, calm down.
I'm saying that was a story that was published far and wide.
And so I had a friend who got sick and then shortly after got vaccinated and he had an adverse reaction.
And I'm like, it may have been because you needed a second opinion a doctor who would have looked at your history and
said oh whoa whoa like let me you know so that's why i always tell people talk to a doctor talk to
a second doctor make sure you're getting sound medical advice don't get it from from political
shows all right let's see east f says luke demand that everyone comment on the luke demand that
everyone comment on the atf's website regarding the ruling.
What is a receiver and the banning pistol braces?
See Guns and Gadgets video.
Rise to the challenge on YouTube for more info.
Love the show.
Yeah, the ATF released a guidelines that's very complex, very big about their proposals for firearms and receivers and all these different things,
and they're actually taking comments from the general public about it.
So people are asking people to get involved, which is your choice,
but I think it's going to be interesting to see what the ATF does.
There's a lot of comments just saying to hire Irene.
Yeah, wow.
I can't just read everything.
We might get enough Super Chats to do it.
Yes, if we get enough Super Chats to pay her salary, then. I can't just read everything. You might get enough super chats to do it. Yes.
If we get enough super chats to pay her salary, then it's a no-brainer.
All right, let's see.
That means a lot.
That means a lot.
It's so interesting that the reaction from the audience about this, from viewers, it's
been nothing but love.
Yeah.
The friends in the media who have been brave enough to reach out to me after
this have sent me sympathy and i was like what are what are you sympathetic about i'm doing great
yeah i'm doing better than ever fox was a prison isn't it isn't it amazing how when you do the
right thing good things happen yeah there there was that the facebook whistleblower for james
o'keefe what did he get a half a million dollars? Right. Yeah. I think that's absolutely wonderful.
Tell people, listen, if you come out and expose the corrupt, there's a support network.
And I'm pretty sure half a million dollars is better than where he was before.
And I'm glad to hear it.
Absolutely.
I'm glad to hear it.
Absolutely.
People want to help him out.
So come out, you guys.
If you're a media member, come on out.
We'll support you.
Send Be Brave.
Go to Project Veritas and expose.
There is a huge demand for legit, bold truth seekers.
So if you get out of the corporate media, people are going to want to tune in to you.
This is so important because people are so scared about speaking up.
So I'm really glad that you're sharing your story because we really need to motivate people to come out and be like, yeah, this is actually happening.
And when you do, you email, as far as I know, VeritasTips at ProtonMail.
That sounds right.
Yeah, you can send an anonymous tip to them or, you know, send them your contact info.
That's right.
You'll probably get a phone call from James.
James O'Keefe is very excited about this story right now.
You'll probably get a personal call. James. James O'Keefe is very excited about this story right now. You'll probably get a personal call.
I don't know.
Oh, sweet.
One of the most effective people fighting in the culture war
and just in general for truth in media, I suppose.
I think it would be silly to assert that everything Veritas does is perfect.
That's ridiculous.
Nobody is.
So the media hyper-foc focuses on faults or any kind of hole
they can possibly find. But man, I look at a lot of the anti-establishment, woke or whatever.
There's very few people who are fighting as hard as James is and doing a good job of it, especially.
So I'm eternally grateful that Veritas exists. All right. Benjamin Dine says the establishment
wants to make sure the public panics at the right time so they can provide the appropriate insight into the situation
so the public will just believe whatever they say without question, potentially.
I think they want people to panic at the right time so they can game the market,
so they can force all the people to lose their resources,
they can buy them up and then crank the prices up and sell them high,
and that's the game they play.
Wait, who's saying one set?
Who's he saying one set?
The establishment.
The establishment media wants panic
as much as possible all the time.
If there's a panic story every day,
they would love that.
And that's why they have loved COVID.
Yeah, like the CNN guy.
Gangbusters, that's what he said, right?
And they loved the death count
and they were hoping it was going to go up
and they had it on the screen.
It's disgusting.
Guys, let me tell you.
When COVID first came in March last year, my news team was reporting the case count and the death numbers.
And I was getting those numbers as well as the recovery rates from all the local counties.
And I was actually shocked looking at the sensationalism in the media at that time.
And then looking at the recovery rate that I was like, Oh, people are recovering really quick
because initially it was like, wait, do you ever get over this? Or, you know, and I was, and I,
in, in our morning editorial meeting in our boardroom, I said, Susan, to my boss,
we need to, we need to put the recovery rate on the TV too, to give the full picture um and she she was adamant against that that shocked
me yeah she said no we don't want the recovery rate up there wow evil it yeah it wasn't until
like weeks later when more pressure was put on her she finally put it up you ever see that meme
where it was like type in three random numbers and like a city and co or type in three random
numbers and covid and you'll find stories.
And so like, I did it.
It works, yeah.
Like, it was three random numbers
and cases or something.
And the stories,
they're just always something.
It's really weird.
Any three random numbers.
Nine, obviously not starting with zero,
but you know.
Wow.
Gets the clicks, man.
All right.
Cassius Cam says,
Hey gang, your friend from the
lumber mill millennials are still soft and won't work been working 12s for three months and weekends
i'm also an end cap rap artist luke can i send you some of my videos on ig i won't disappoint you
yeah uh you could email me at info at we are change.org i'm actually answering those emails
info at we are change.org cool heraldo ol answering those emails. Info at WeAreChange.org. Cool.
Hmm.
Geraldo Oliveira says,
Governor DeSantis announced Florida is sending state troopers to Texas and Arizona to assist with the border crisis.
Is this an early sign of states consolidating with states like the blue state people moving to conservative areas?
That's scary.
I love it.
The states taking responsibility amongst themselves and basically separating from the fed that's scary did you did you do the trick dude i'm looking at
of the most ridiculous graphic this is the new cases and deaths from the coronavirus it was
january 10th is when it started to go down january 10th that's four days after biden was sworn in is
that right january 6th no that's not january 20 he's born but did you type the three numbers yeah it
just gave me a bunch of i typed 751 23 cases covet and it gave me like 75 751 and 23 cases
covet i what do you mean i just type in like 619 oh three single digit numbers oh yeah yeah
what were you what were you you were doing like What are those compound numbers? Too long, yeah. So like six space one?
No, no, no.
Like 619 or 124 or 736.
There was a meme where you could just type that in and then Google would give you a story
for every random number.
Maybe we could talk about it on the after show.
We'll look into it.
Yeah.
This is crazy.
Wow.
Bob.
Oh, yeah.
Oregon COVID-19 update
713 new cases, I just typed 713
Now change it to 712
Put 712
What is going on?
Is this the most propagandized thing that's ever happened?
No, I think it's because the media was tracking every single number
Every single day
Maryland reports 712 new coronavirus cases
Because it was the shock content they wanted
Every number, every time.
Exactly, exactly.
We'll look into this.
We'll pull it up for the bonus segment.
Bob Samarchik says, SPLC put We Are Change on the list and effectively dissolved We Are Change Seattle.
Thanks to Luke for marching on.
Someone has to do it.
And, yeah, they try to intimidate you.
They try to make you afraid.
And if you're not afraid, you can continue on.
They want you in a constant, negative, low vibrational state of panic, fear, anxiety.
Don't let them win.
That's right.
Right Coast Crypto says, hey, Tim, talking about creating culture.
I was a heroin addict for eight years.
Just celebrated 16 months clean.
I'd love to do something with you to let people know there's a way out.
So many people are suffering.
We could help so many.
Well, we got a lot of work to do,
but you can always send your email to pitches at timcast.com
where we have somebody who goes through them
and then tries to figure out what we're capable of doing.
There's a lot of things we want to do.
It's also about what we can do.
I'm hoping within five years we're doing all of it.
I hope so.
Movies, sitcoms, all that stuff.
Okay, okay.
Hire her, hire her, hire her.
I see, I see, I see, i see i see love that machismo joe

At least they're giving us money.
Here we go.
Andrew Pawlowski says,
Hey, Tim.
I just got an invite to Clubhouse.
It's a talk-only social media site that has huge potential to change culture.
I have several invites.
If you want one, just say yes, and I'll message you on IG.
Yeah, have you gone there?
Clubhouse was really big, and now no one uses it anymore.
What happened with it?
It was a fad.
It was a fad.
Yeah. Everybody was doing fad. Yeah.
Everybody was doing these talk rooms and then eventually they got bored of them.
And now no one in the U.S. really uses them anymore.
So they kind of, you know, but I appreciate the the offer.
OK.
The Magallanium says, hey, Tim, big fan from Canada.
Thanks for keeping me sane in this dark age of information.
Keep up the good fight, and God bless.
Thank you.
Appreciate it.
GuamTech says,
Tim, your one-wheeled skates are not a good design.
Look into tri-skates or even aggressive if you want to do tricks.
Also, looking for anyone to come to the compound and rep some blading.
So I have this photo. bought i got amazon recommended these
weird things it's like a bike wheel oh yeah and then you wear a brace like on your legs so you
have the bike wheel like on the left of and like outside of your legs there is a little training
wheel and it's just like the most ridiculous thing ever it doesn't really work i need to see a
picture yeah it's on my instagram so that's what they're talking about uh womtech we actually are

not that i was unaware of you guys to begin with well they mentioned our show or
cool appreciate it with james o'keefe matt bowler says been listening live nearly every day for a
while now yet i'm finding myself wondering for the first time where's ian i'm right here friend
he's listening just listening taking it in i I'm very taken by Ben Franklin lately.
And he was noted, I think when he went to the first constitutional convention, he said
nothing the entire time.
Just listening.
Good for him.
Listening.
Underrated.
I have to read all of these comments.
Lior Engelstein says, Timothy Daniel Poole, you better bring Ms. Hecker on board right
now.
If not,
I will consider
taking my money
from Timcast
and walking away
from Dim Pool.
Is that your mom?
That must be your mother
with the full name there.
Lior Engelstein
is not my mother's name.
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Now that I think about it.
It could be a pseudonym.
It's too funny.
Clarence W. says,
please say Crowder
is coming on the show.
Ooh.
Well,
he's busy.
With the new studio,
we will be,
we're getting someone to come out
and change some things.
We have a very strict in-studio policy
for a lot of reasons,
but we may actually do like,
maybe like once per month,
we'll open up for virtual
because there are people like Hasan Piker
who was willing to come on
if we did a virtual thing
and potentially people like Steven Crowder if we do virtual because to come on if we did a virtual thing, and potentially
people like Steven Crowder if we do virtual, because these are both people who host their
own shows. Hassan does his live stream in Twitch. Why would he stop doing his job just to come on
here and have a debate or discussion? It doesn't make sense. But there are some people who are
willing to do it, and I think maybe we'll open up like maybe like one a month we'll be willing to
do virtual. The problem is right now we don't actually have monitors for anybody but me so no one will be able to hear or see any person
on skype we just we were never set up for it because we never wanted to do it but uh we'll
see what we'll see what happens sean kc fpv says all of this media censorship feels a lot like man
in the high castle thank you ivory for exposing a forbidden glimpse of reality. Excellent.
Wow.
You're welcome.
My pleasure.
Bobby Digital says,
Resist the usage of the word worker.
It marginalizes everyone.
You know we've reached a disgusting place
in our society
when you hear nurses, doctors, and surgeons
referred to as hospital workers.
That's just a group.
I mean, they all work there.
Jay Dubski
says, I just became a member at TimCast.com.
Have you considered making a YouTube channel that
mostly just links to member content
and news at TimCast.com?
Not easy to do.
Really not easy to do. So we have
a proprietary service for
the members-only thing. But the new site's coming
and it's going to be really awesome. The members-only
content is going to have a preview function, which means if you're not a member you'll get to
watch everyone get to watch the first minute or so of every video because maybe you don't want to
you know you're like hey i need a trailer for this why should i you know invest in this membership
teaser but i i think it's much easier to say if you think that cnn does a great job and that they
should make more money than us and have more views than us don't become a member if you think that CNN does a great job and that they should make more money than us and have more views than us, don't become a member.
If you think the inverse and they don't deserve the money they get or being propped up by YouTube and you want to see us do more work, then please share these shows and become a member.
It's all we can ask for.
I wonder how much they're making these days.
CNN makes a lot of money, but they spend a lot of money.
You know, they had to cut their airport service.
They couldn't pay the airports anymore to keep it in there.
Well, I think, yes, they canceled.
They were paying airports, what was it, $7 million a year or something?
I forget how much, but yeah, they had to pay to keep CNN.
I wonder how much of their ratings was bought.
Involuntary watchers.
But then they would go to these advertisers and be like, we get a million views.
Look at this.
And it's like, yeah, it's airport and hotels, dude.
Creepy.
Lazarus Rex says UFOs are real and we need more money for the military.
So Obama is saying Trump's Space Force was a great idea.
Yes.
That's what I'm hearing.
Buffalo Bill says, why do far leftists look ill physically
and mentally and conservative women are fine blonde hair legs but the left all look like
unhealthy i mean really there could be a correlation there um i'm not going to get
into it i'm not going to name the youtuber there's a youtuber friend of mine who asked
me a question about this because we are both noting that when you go to the RNC, the men are all tall and thin.
Not all, every single man, but they tend to be chiseled and tall,
and the women tend to be, like, attractive and slim.
And then when you go to the DNC, the women are frumpy and the men are short.
And I was like, what is that?
And I said, I think it's actually fairly simple.
Attractive people have, they go through life, and people want to do things for them.
You know, they're attractive. So if you're an attractive guy, then and people want to do things for them. They're attractive.
So if you're an attractive guy, then people are trying to fawn over you.
Women are giving you things or constantly talking to you.
If you're ugly, it's harder.
So people who are uglier have less attractive privilege.
They form collectives to protect themselves, to advocate for their interests.
Whereas people who are attractive, who've had an easier go at life, just say, why should I join a union or a collective? I'm doing great. Don't force me to do it.
So you'll end up with more personal responsibility and individualist types who are attractive and
more ugly, frumpy collectivists. I talked about this because there's actually like five different
studies that I've cited in the past. The Young Turks got so mad when I brought it up that their
studies saying Democrats do
tend to be less attractive than Republicans.
And they were like, Tim's not attractive himself.
He's so ugly.
Who's he to say this?
And I was like, dude, I'm just reading Washington Post, man.
Like, chill out, guys.
I wasn't insulting you.
Literally, I was citing the Washington Post.
And then they end up pulling up the story like, well, it's true.
But come on.
And I'm like, i don't i don't
why you gotta be mean like i wasn't even being mean to you guys and it was nando like i was like
nando bro i know you why are you taking it personal yeah what are you doing man calm down
all right all right scrotes my goats says tammy should really really watch the deep space nine
episode in the pale moonlight it was the most shocking episode of star trek i'd ever seen when
it came out and in the 2000s it was almost the most shocking episode of Star Trek I'd ever seen when it came out.
And in the 2000s, it was almost prophetic.
Wow, that's an endorsement.
I've never seen one.
I will definitely.
I'm pretty sure I've seen it.
I've seen like every episode of the 90s series of Next Generation, Voyager, and Deep Space
9.
But I must admit, I can remember basically everything from the Next Generation.
Wow, do I love that show.
Deep Space 9, I watched every episode at least once and some twice and voyager a lot of the episodes are kind of like
half dozed off for and wasn't really paying attention so that's that's the my ranking of
how much i liked it and i thought janeway was good though did you think enterprise was good
i didn't watch it that was a 2000s yeah that's not bacula i i saw some episodes i wasn't a fan
yeah the it was the worst star Trek intro I've ever seen.
What was that?
The intro?
Yeah, I don't remember.
Like, The Next Generation is fantastic.
The iconic introduction.
Space.
The greatest Shakespearean actors of all time.
I know, right?
Good move.
I thought Janeway was all right.
But, you know, it was whatever.
I'll check it out, though.
All right, let's see.
Let's jump down and see what we got here.
I think I read that one.
Here we go.
Nerdius Maximus says,
Ian breaks the laws of physics.
He goes from genius to ridiculous faster than the speed of light.
DNS records are already decentralized,
but you should use a secure DNS server.

Interesting.
Matthew Holloway says,
Tim,
who do I contact
about becoming
a contributing writer?
I wrote for The Blaze
back in 16

from Phoenix.
Shout out The Hollow Net
on Mojo 5.0 Radio,
please.
Hey,

I suppose for now,
jobs at timcast.com.
But it's very difficult because we are getting overwhelmed with requests.
So definitely appreciate it.
Josh England says, Tim, YouTube has never allowed me to enable notifications for IRL.
It says the action is disabled for content for kids.
Well, we're certainly not content for kids.
That's for sure.
Maybe you have a setting on your account
that limits you to only be able to watch
kid content or something. Weird.
Yeah, could be.
Shandylands
says, how long
till the MSM does a reverse Project
Veritas and places people in the opposition
space of operations?
Maybe that's what Ivory's doing.
Coming from mainstream media.
Are you a double agent?
Are you a triple agent?
A triple agent.
Yeah, sure.
Oh, it's a double agent.
How's that work?
The Licensed Guru says, Ivory, thank you for speaking truth.
You've answered the prayers of millions.
Aw.
That means a lot.

Oh, really?
You look like it.
Perfect.
You're right.
Well, then, there you go.
Actually, isn't there like a legal threshold?
Yeah, I think it's 8%, so I didn't make the cut, but my grandpa did.
I mean, 1-8th.
1-8th is the cutoff.
A group called the Coalition for Communities of Color says that Slavic people are people
of color.
So blonde-haired, blue-eyed Luke is a person of color. that Slavic people are people of color. So blonde, blonde hair,
blue eyed Luke
is a person of color.
I can see it.
That was recent.
Wasn't that like in March or something?
That was when it was here,
like in January or February.
Blonde is a color.
I'm glad they acknowledged that.
Finally, geez.
Mark Roberts says,
I wanted to send 20 bucks,

Goblinhand says, offer her a job, you fool, while you still can before somebody steals her.
She's a treasure.
Don't do my mistake from last year debating myself if I should buy crypto or no.
It's like just all of this.
Wow, he compared me to crypto.
What an honor.
He's saying you're going to
accrue in value very quickly.
And you're a good store of value.
Chad
Canego says you should glass all of
your extra eggs to preserve them.
Can keep them good for several months to a year.
Wait, what? I looked that up.
Natural eggs out of the chicken butt
have a coating on it that usually the ones at the
store are rubbed off and they could last for a long, long time.
What does it mean to glass them?
Wow.
I looked it up.
That's incredible.
Yeah.
Glass them.
Water glassing eggs long term.
I'll send this to you.
Cool.
Yeah.
Sounds great.
Kyle Sheridan says, thanks for you and your team's hard work.
I would second the recommendation for guns and gadgets as well as recommend Warrior
Poet Society. They both share
your love for our country and direction to fight the
culture war. There you go. Everybody recommends
Warrior Poets to me. Ah, yes. Here's a good one.
William J.S. says you should have
Carrie Lake on. Award-winning
Fox News 10 anchor from Phoenix
over 20 years resigned from huge
contracts due to leftist agenda being pushed.
Now running for AZ governor in 2022.
I have seen her video talking about this.
She is.
She is very guys.
She projects Veritas.
Yeah, they they are friends with her.
I did not.
I didn't know who she was or that she existed until Monday right before I did my thing on the live news,
Project Veritas said,
by the way, there's this woman who
abruptly quit from Fox and Phoenix.
So she's from the same company as me.
That's Fox Corp.
And this thing, these edicts coming down
from New York, I still have to compare notes with her.
I want to call her and be like, okay, what
were they doing with you?
But she sent Project Averitas a text message to read to me right before I went live,
which was a nerve-wracking thing to do, and it was such a sweet, encouraging text.
So I want to thank her, and I'm meaning to call her and compare notes.
Sounds great.
Connect the dots on what the heck's going on.
Alright, we'll do one more. Giuseppe
