Yo, they shot down another object.
The coolest thing about this story is that it was reported as
Biden orders the shooting down of an unidentified flying object
under advisement of the Pentagon.
And I'm like, that just sounds like the coolest story ever.
And I'm going to imagine it was aliens.
Apparently, it was an object the size of a car, not a balloon.
They said it was somewhat different.
So, OK, I'm kind of worried that, as I mentioned with the balloon story,
this is kind of a precursor to a China attack on Taiwan because they're not going to care about whatever this incursion into our airspace is if they're planning something worse.
Or maybe the press was so bad they're now finally reacting to whatever these things entering our airspace is.
So we'll talk about that.
We've got a bunch of other stories, too.
And well, Fetterman's been released from the hospital.
Apparently, what is it?
He can't hear?
Is that what it was?
He was hearing, like, the teacher from Peanuts or whatever.
So he had to go to the hospital.
I mean, that kind of sucks, but, you know, we'll certainly talk about that.
And then, you know, we're going to talk about this, and it will be somewhat in the context of the greater internal drama that's been going on.
Sidney Watson has filed a lawsuit against The Blaze citing abuse.
So we'll talk all about that.
And the bigger picture with that story is all of a sudden around the same time, massive infighting erupted everywhere in the independent libertarian conservative space, whatever this alt media is.
And that's why I was like, you know, to Jeremy, I was like, I don't want to fight, man. I don't
want to, I agree with him on a bunch of things politically that we should probably be worried
about other things. And this story is now another bit of drama of infighting within this space. So
I don't know, man, it's all kind of disconcerting. We can't lose focus. And hopefully we'll sort all this stuff out.
The drama will subside.
The conflict, I'll call it internal conflict.
I don't wanna say drama because people in this,
this is a lawsuit and there's actual complaints
and I'm sure the story is gonna pick up.
So we'll talk about that.
But we'll get into all this stuff.
We'll talk about what's going on with Biden.
And then we're gonna hang out.
It's a good Friday night.
Before we get started, head over to timcast.com
and become a member to support our work.
Click that join us button. If you want to help us with our cultural endeavors. The coffee shop is currently
underway and got a lot of interesting projects. We've got members only content available to you
as members Monday through Thursday at 8 p.m. The coffee shop is going to be a cool place to hang
out. Hopefully we can set up a bunch of those. We got to do the first one, start generating revenue.
It's incorporated. It's got a building and we're going to create spaces where you can all hang out. For those that are listening on YouTube,
you'll also notice that we've switched the chat to members only chat from subscribers only. And
we did it for one reason. I don't want to shut anybody out from the conversation. But what we
found was, well, we had a lot of people emailing asking to make it a members only chat because,
or increase slow mode or something because nobody could talk. So the chat was basically someone would say an idea and not interact with anybody else.
So there was no actual interaction happening. And I had someone advise me that the point of
what we do with these shows that makes it work is it's a conversation. With members-only chat,
yeah, it's five bucks a month. So apologies to those who can't do it. But there's no slow mode
anymore, meaning you can just now talk. The chat stabilizes. And it also gives you the ability to do some kind of member super chat. So it keeps out spam, spam bots and things like that. It makes having before we get started. I have this poll I put on Twitter.
Should I shut down TimCast and retire?
And there's 312,115 votes with three hours left and 55.5% said yes.
So by the end of this show, I believe I will have an announcement to make.
I will abide by the results of this poll.
And I mean it. So, you know, obviously I think there's a bunch of leftists who are spamming it and telling people to vote for it,
but it looks like we're going to have an announcement to make at the end of the show because, man, 55 to 44 percent,
I'm not sure how you get enough votes to turn that one around.
So we're going to have to see.
We'll see. We'll see.
Joining us tonight to talk about all this and more

so glad to have you, buddy.
I appreciate it, thank you.
Hannah Clare Brimlow's hanging out.
Hi, I'm Hannah Clare Brimlow.
I'm a writer for TimCast.com.
Easy enough.
Yeah, you should follow TimCast News
on Twitter and Instagram.
Short as always, and sweet indeed.
I'm gonna do the camera right now.
Tim, you wanna take it away?
Yes, let's jump into this first story.
We have this one from TimCast.com.
Second high altitude object shot down over Alaska. President Biden reportedly ordered
the military to down the object out of an abundance of caution and at the recommendation
of the Pentagon. President Biden ordered it to shoot down the object. On February 9th,
North American Aerospace Defense Command detected an object on ground radar and further investigated and identified the object using fighter aircraft.
A recovery operation is currently underway, conducted by United States Northern Command, according to Ryder, who noted no further details were available regarding a description of the object's capability, design, purpose, or origin.
That makes it a UFO, as far as I'm concerned.
And that story sounds a
lot better. So here's where it happened. Seemingly off in the middle of nowhere in northern Alaska,
where the first balloon should have been shot down immediately. But I don't know.
I think it's pretty obvious that the quickness with which they shot this one down,
you know, was probably because of the criticism they received about the first one.
Yeah, but.
And Congress just passed the resolution saying anything that comes into U.S. airspace needs to be dealt with basically effectively immediately.
And that was the unanimous vote in the House, what, two days ago?
Apparently, it's the size of a small car.
I don't know.
Look, we don't have a lot of information on this stuff.
But, I mean, I'm kind of happy they shot it down. I would agree. All right. We're all in agreement. small car i don't look we don't have a lot of information on this stuff but um i mean i'm i'm
kind of happy they shot it down i would agree all right we're all in agreement that's that was great
that's the show for tonight everybody they shot it down uh i think one of the interesting details
here is that how they leave out the place of origin i believe they know where it came from
but i think they're not mentioning it where it came from for a reason and i think that reason
is is that if you don't say what country likely china that it came from China doesn't really have to retaliate because then we technically didn't shoot. They
didn't claim responsibility for what it is. So I'm reading into the details a little bit here
in between the lines. I know that's a little bit of reckless speculation, but where this came from
matters. We obviously just had the balloon incident with China. And I think there's a reason they're
leaving out some details. Did anyone, I some details. I mentioned this earlier. Did you
hear about the laser that went across Hawaii?
The laser? There was a green laser
that was... What?
I saw that. Green laser? Yeah.
They said that it was likely a
satellite, a Chinese satellite.
I didn't mention it earlier.
Oh, yeah. Look at this. What is
that? These green lasers?
And it moves fast.
You're telling me that's China.
I think it's aliens.
Whoa.
I mean.
It's Russia.
It's Russia, guys.
Matrix code?
Russian-Chinese aliens.
It is code.
The simulation's breaking down, and that is the code.
Well, I mean, I don't want to derail, but when I jokingly tweeted that all of this infighting
in the alt-med media space was part of a
plan people were like really because it's so hard to believe it's coincidental yeah and I'm like now
we're in a simulation everything's falling apart no but uh that laser thing's crazy what is this
I kind of feel like this needs its own segment we can talk about it let's go back to the to the
object over over Alaska because my concern with this is as I stated with the balloon
and I'm not that we have a lot here as well as well I'm interested in your guys's opinions to the object over Alaska, because my concern with this is, as I stated with the balloon,
now that we have a lot here, as well as Isabel,
I'm interested in your guys' opinions. The way I described it is like, somebody's going to rob a liquor store,
they don't care that having the gun is
illegal, because they're about to commit a much more
serious crime. China doesn't care
about balloons in our airspace,
and if we get mad about it, because they're about to commit
a much more serious crime.
Isabel? Right, yeah, no, that makes sense. And maybe some people were not, because they're about to commit a much more serious crime. Right. Yeah, no, that that makes sense.
And maybe some people were not or they're not saying where the origin of it was from, because a lot of people like Fox News was getting criticized because they were able to track the original balloons, like where it started in its entire path.
So it's like, well, how did you guys know?
And maybe they had someone that's leaked a story or something.
But so you guys knew where it was tracking, knew the entire course.
But somehow now we're just finding out about it.
Somehow people knew something.
And I just miss when they were just making the frogs gay.
As Alex Jones once said.
That's all they were doing.
Yeah.
I think they're trying to make more frogs gay.
Actually, that's why our kids are gay now, I think.
That's what the aliens, the aliens are coming.
Yeah.
And, you know, and well, so back in all seriousness, though, World War III a lot?
World War III?
I hope not.
And part of it is I hope so. lot? World War III? I hope not. I thought you were going to say, I hope so.
No, no, no. I hope not. And I think, again, why they're leaving out the place of origin is allowing China to have permission not to retaliate.
Because if we say we shot down a Chinese spy craft or whatever, fairly ridiculous to imagine that they're in a position to complain about it.
But I think that that makes a lot of sense.
Not that I have any kind of inside information or anything, but it does make a lot of sense that giving China diplomatically a way to not retaliate, especially seeing as they did comment on the
first one, if it's like, okay, there's a second one, that's a clear escalation.
Because they have to respond.
If we publicly say this is a Chinese, you know, aircraft that we shot down, they're
gonna have to come out with something.
And then we don't want it to get into this sort of escalatory ladder where we're doing
tit for tat, because I'm sure we have spy craft in or around china and a lot of the territories around
them that they have the potential to take down that you know we don't want to get into that
tit for tat that would kind of be cool though if like an american spy balloon flew over china and
then china shot it down and then then like all of a sudden everyone's doing this balloon conflict
where balloons are flying all over the place i would prefer that to actual you know nuclear
it's like steampunk World War III.
Nobody wants to escalate, but these are the terms we've set where everyone finds it marginally acceptable.
Like China sent a balloon over, we didn't shoot it down.
So then everyone's like, well, I guess we can send balloons.
And that's all people are doing.
And it's like, balloon over my country.
We need to get back to ping pong diplomacy with China back in the good old days.
What was that? I think it was the 80s with Reagan, I think it was,
where we had a ping pong team go over and they had some friendly sport matches
instead of blowing up each other's balloons
and spycrafts over each other's countries.
Well, now the NBA is pretty involved with China,
so I'm not 100% sure that that's working out
the way that ping pong did.
Ping pong?
I don't know if we're in the point of diplomacy.
So the one reason I thought it'd be great to have you on as well a lot is that you've talked before
about a unipolar versus multipolar world for those that aren't familiar basically should the u.s be
the dominant force or should there be multiple dominant forces i'm kind of worried that uh
yeah you make a good point with unipolar if the the U.S. falls from the top position in terms of military power, economic power, then the likelihood of conflict increases.
This is Thucydides' trap.
We talk about it all the time.
I don't know what the solution is, though, man.
And it seems like we're inching towards a Thucydides' trap with China, which may be why there are some people seemingly trying to sabotage the U.S. so that we fall before the conflict can happen. Yeah, I think that there is an argument to be made that if there is going to be a dominant
power or a most powerful country in the world, that it's probably better that it's the U.S.,
not just because we're here in the U.S., but because like liberal values and liberal ideas
do make space for people that disagree. And you can expand that, whether it be regions or
different countries, when you have a liberal order versus what would be an authoritarian
order from China or from Russia. Like if not that Russia is realistically going to be a global power
anytime soon that they don't have the economy, but China could be. And it's probably better for the world, for the U.S. to be the power,
as opposed to if the option is the U.S. and China. Yeah. And to be fair, this doesn't mean that there
aren't issues within the United States. Our country has a ton of issues, but I think when
you compare it to communist China or authoritarian Russia or Islamist Iran, there is no comparison. There are some people who say,
I've been seeing online about how Russia and China are somehow like the saviors of the world,
or how Zelensky is the antichrist or something. I just think there's a lot of crazy extreme
rhetoric going on, and we should double down on our alliances worldwide. That means standing with
Japan. That means standing with South Korea, Taiwan, doubling down on what's going on and we should double down on our alliances worldwide that means standing with japan that means standing with south korea taiwan doubling down on what's going on in ukraine every
time they have a successful are successfully pushing back the the russians i think we should
double down on what's going on in ukraine and you weren't lying about that mustache
and for people who don't know let me give you the rundown i'm sporting a bolton bro
mustache right now i just i know you guys are, why is a lot sporting this new mustache?
I'm trying to follow in the footsteps of John Bolton.
And you guys could join the movement.
You guys could all do mustaches.
Hashtag Bolton bro on Twitter
with pictures of your mustaches.
We can move on though.
Is that a real thing?
Starting tonight it is.
I mean, there's one thing about John Bolton.
The Ayatollah and Iranian regime
think that he is the biggest threat to them.
So they put hits on people like John Bolton. And if the Ayatollah and Iranian regime think that he is the biggest threat to them. So they put hits on people like John Bolton.
And if the Ayatollah views you
as one of the biggest threats,
you're the person who they're putting a hit on,
there's something good about you.
I think we should have a rally around the flag type
when John Bolton is being targeted by the Ayatollah.
Are you going to vote for him for president?
I don't vote because I'm a reporter.
I abstain.
I don't think there's any... For real though? Yeah though yeah yeah i don't know how you can trust any journalist
whoever votes and that goes from independent all the way up to mainstream if you have it in the
bag for a candidate then how could anybody trust you all journalists newsrooms literally endorse
candidates yeah and i think they should abstain like i think that's insane i disagree yeah i
think they should abstain and it's always's insane. I disagree. Yeah, I think they should abstain. And it's always a Democrat. There's like three outlets that endorse Republicans.
Even the right-wing outlets start endorsing Democrats.
For example, the New York Post endorsed Eric Adams, who's a Democrat.
Is the New York Post supposed to be right-wing?
Definitely, yeah.
Murdoch owned.
Really?
Yeah, definitely right-wing.
I did not know that.
Interesting.
Yeah, I think we have some buddies there, too.
Yeah.
I wonder what the actual likelihood of a real international conflict is they they they came out and said they recently
discovered that there were balloons flying over the u.s during the trump administration
which no one saw no one complained about and as far as i'm concerned didn't happen it's like if
a tree falls down in a forest and nobody hears it didn't make a sound it's like i agree i don't i
i think it's just making stuff up. Yeah.
But the interesting point is what you bring up a lot is that if they came out and said, hey, this was China who did this again, you'd have people screaming some kind of sanctions at the very least.
And then, as you pointed out, you get to that escalation.
But I don't know.
We also have the semiconductor supply chain war that we have going on in China.
Joe Biden just had the CHIPS Act. And I think we banned all Americans from working
in their semiconductor
industry. You guys should look up an article and read more about it.
But the CHIPS Act is huge.
Let's talk about this
alien stuff. Look at this from
Petapixel. We briefly mentioned it a moment ago.
Mysterious green laser beams over
Hawaii came from Chinese satellite.
Dude, we have a chinese
balloon fly over our country then a mysterious small car sized object the ufo gets shot down
and now we have this laser scanning from a satellite over hawaii that's what i'm saying
they're saying they noticed it on the 28th which is the same day we noticed the balloon or norad
noticed the balloon well here's what it says uh petapixel reports mysterious green laser beams
that appeared over the night sky in Hawaii
have been pinned on a Chinese satellite.
On January 28th,
a Subaru telescope camera
on the summit of Mauna Kea
captured streaks of green laser beams
that some likened to matrix code.
Initially, the Japanese scientists
who work at the Subaru telescope
believed it came from a NASA satellite
known as ICESat-2,
but the space agency confirmed
it did not emanate from their instrument.
Dr. Albaro Ivanov
ran some simulations
and tabled the theory
that it came from a Chinese
Daki-1 AEMS satellite.
What is this for?
The Subaru Telescope camera admin
wrote that it's not one of their instruments.
His colleagues, blah, blah, blah.
We appreciate the efforts.
The theory that the beams
came from a Chinese instrument
comes amid heightened tensions. We get it, we we get it but what do they do what do
what do they do with the laser beams just sending a message maybe just saying we're watching you
we have our eyes on you i mean what else if it's not actually causing harm that we know of yet
it happened at night and i'm wondering if it's like is it scanning it's lasers though like they
don't need laser to scan topology or anything like that. Is that what it's called? Topology? Am I getting it right? The surface level?
The topography.
Topography.
What did I say? I was talking about the study of
whatever that is. Topography.
Knowledge of. But yeah.
Shooting lasers at us.
I think war's coming, dude.
I mean, there's a lot of
reason to feel like it. I want to know
what this satellite does you know
this is the same day that norad picked up the chinese balloon and then chinese the china
chinese government also moved to satellite what is that satellite for or is it also studying the
weather per the chinese government on january 18th a swirling whirlpool appealed appeared in
hawaii's night sky do they have this on this one here as well? Look at, so this, this slept on new sorts of all time.
Petapixel.
Yeah.
I think it's like,
what is it like photography news or something?
Or space screen grab from the cameras live stream at the summit of Mauna Kea.
They said it was a space X fuel rocket fuel or something when it spins.
And then it makes it,
I don't know.
There's a lot of weird stuff flying over us right now.
I'm kind of freaked out about it.
The, I like the the shooting down with the small car size thing is probably the most uh the most uh important thing i imagine like you could have a lot of a lot of surveillance
gear and something the size of a small car you know, I mean, it sounds like it's a drone.
I mean, I don't know, obviously, but it sounds like some kind of drone.
Oh, this is cool, man.
Like, what is this?
Is there a video of it?
No, it's just a screenshot.
It almost looks like a promo for the Matrix or something.
Oh, there's a video?
Yeah.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Yo.
You can see it.
So it's moving.
It's a satellite going.
It's sped up.
Yeah.
Creepy. That's a very powerful laser.
If it's coming from outer space and coming that far down.
That's the kind of laser that starts fires.
Hey, wait a minute.
Didn't Marjorie Taylor Greene before said that satellites were shooting lasers down and starting fires?
Yep.
She did.
And then she questioned whether the Rothschilds funded it.
So they called it Jewish space lasers.
Okay.
And now we have this video of a Chinese satellite firing lasers at Hawaii.
The Chinese Space Lasers.
Chinese!
Chinese Space Lasers.
You know, she just got the city wrong.
It was Chinese Space Lasers.
Actually, she didn't actually make that connection.
She didn't make the Jewish connection.
Someone else did.
Yeah, she was like bank funded or something.
I think she made the Rothschilds connection.
But as a funding source, she wasn't talking about Jewish people.
That's the stupidest thing about what they're like.
We got to remove her from her committees because she said things.
But I think there's a reason why she said Rothschilds as opposed to Koch brothers or any other, you know, assortment of billionaires.
You know, did it mention, I don't know, the Walmart family or Elon Musk or Bill Gates?
It was the Rothschilds.
There's some connotation there.
But, you know.
She's still on her assignment.
They put her back on assignments now that the Republicans are back.
Yeah, now that McCarthy's in.
And now they're doing that tit-for-tat with Ilhan Omar and somebody else.
I think there was.
Swalwell, Fartgate guy.
Fartgate.
Fartgate, yeah.
We used to have a soundboard of him going, cheat, an election.
Yeah, and then we decided the soundboard thing was too like
too howard stern yeah yeah we had how dare you rung and cheat an election yeah so like you know
if someone said something that we thought was wrong we'd press the trump button and trip would
go rung and then if someone said something that was like offensive we'd press the greta button
how dare you no you're that's i mean that was kind of fun. I like those buttons.
That's so good. But yeah, Swalwell, Fartgate.
Man, I remember Fartgate.
No, but Swalwell and Schiff getting removed,
I think is a good thing.
Swalwell is definitely...
There was very legitimate reasons to kick him off.
And Schiff too.
Schiff's a...
Schiff was a evil guy.
He lied and he was in the House Intel Committee,
which is about intelligence.
And he was lying about it,
saying that he had direct evidence of collusion
between trump and
russia so i mean there's no credibility there with that pencil neck shift as trump used to call him
what about uh what about omar though i think that she's pretty that's all i have to say about her
and she bangs her brother allegedly but i you were talking last night about matt gates's position on
this and how he's very logically consistent which i agreed with so he's saying that she he's applying
he's using he's applying her own, he's applying, he's using,
he's applying her own standard.
That's why she should be removed
because she said that
when it came to,
was it Paul Gosar
and Marjorie Taylor Greene?
Yep, over the space lasers.
Right.
I can't believe
the space lasers story
has come full circle
with Republican Party
and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
There are actual real space lasers.
She's the Alex Jones of Congress.
Oh my God.
Literally.
I hope to meet her someday it came true
I'll go for her too
it came true baby
yeah man
I don't know
what else is going on
I guess
have we exhausted
the space laser story already
but no one commented
on this
China wasn't like
oh our bad
we're moving a satellite
like this didn't
I mean how did you hear about it
you're the one
who brought us
the story tonight
Twitter
so
is there any like NBC orc post not like science alert.com oh no yeah we had news week
i just pulled i pulled up because i had a better picture yeah what is cnn saying but yeah they're
all saying chinese chinese uh satellite live science i mean these are real websites but
they're not like the weather channel you can trust the weather channel can you they're not
giving us an explanation or they're not saying we reached Weather Channel. You can trust the Weather Channel, can't you? They're not giving us an explanation
or they're not saying we reached out to someone for comment
and the Chinese government has not responded.
Where did this picture come from?
Here you go.
Vice has it.
Chinese satellite from the webcam, I guess.
From Jordan Pearson.
Oh, it was almost Jordan Peterson.
Hey, what is this?
I don't want whatever this is.
Get out of here.
No thanks.
Yeah.
Space lasers.
Can we all go apologize to marjorie taylor green
we should you know it it really does feel like this story about something getting shot down
over alaska should have everybody going off but people are really i don't know just like
something's going on in the air in terms of people are trying to squeeze blood from a turnip in turn in terms
of drama politics news stories i i feel like you're right about that and it's not just this
like the there was another story that the alien like there was a like there was a um
radio waves from somewhere in outer space that scientists picked up and it they haven't been
able to explain it.
And it seemed like it just kind of
people were like, oh, cool, they think
they found aliens, see ya. And the
CIA or the government
admitting that UFOs, like
all these things that seem like
they should get people worked up, the people are just
kind of like, cool.
We just need Isabella to talk to us about aliens
because you're the guest, so we just need you to tell us what's going on aliens i honestly have never found
it interesting i don't really care maybe i'm the drama person then i don't know it's like okay
maybe there's aliens there's probably you know we're just one planet in one solar system on one
galaxy like there's probably life on other planets but until i see them i don't care we got aliens
on the planet right now with this transgender stuff and it's
people mostly 99.9 of the people that are elected officials i will declare them as aliens so i don't
like those aliens or they're the lizards i think they prefer lizard we have people who are crossing
the border illegally which are legally defined as aliens and then they tell you it's offensive
to use that term despite the fact that it's a legal term to define someone who's not from here
which is why we apply it to extraterrestrial aliens.
But, you know, everything's offensive, so you can't say things that are offensive, I guess.
And I guess, I don't know.
I guess we talked about space lasers all weekend.
How are you guys doing?
I do have another story we'll pull up in about a minute or two
with Project Veritas, and then we'll get into all this political stuff.
But I don't know.
How are you guys doing?
Can't say anything illegal?
Tell that to your lad.
I wanted to follow up.
I want to follow up on one thing here.
Again, we are trying to prevent the outbreak of further conflict here.
And I think really the way to do that, I do believe in peace through strength.
I think the way to deter China is by arming Taiwan hard enough to make it such that the threshold, you know, for them being able to take over Taiwan, they won't be able to meet it.
So just putting that out there in regard to the space lasers, the unidentified aircrafts,
the air balloons.
China doesn't want it.
And we should make them continue not wanting it.
Am I talking faster than normal?
I don't think so.
No.
I'm drinking coffee.
Someone in the chat said that I was on Adderall or something.
No, no, no, no.
I don't touch that stuff.
They don't have drama.
People always jump to the most extreme.
Like, you're not, like, you didn't have, like, a Coca-Cola, like, an extra Coca-Cola.
You're just riddling lines of cocaine.
He's not drinking coffee.
That's what they go to.
Just some light meth before the show.
Don't worry.
Well, he does that every day.
Yeah.
I'm just kidding.
Don't do that.
Well, you know, if we're talking about that, we had a lot of fun with Chet GPT last night
on the Members Only show.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that was crazy. You got to, like, step five. Yeah, we... Quite further. You know the fun with chat GPT last night in the members only show oh yeah yeah that was crazy
you get to like step five
yeah we
quite further
you know the AI chat
yeah yeah
the crazy
yeah it's been jailbroken
and then we were
modifying the jailbreak
and adding personalities to it
and it started advocating
for doing meth
why
what was the explanation
I told it to say things
that are the opposite
of what it would say
so it just became
this like insane evil entity I don't know maybe things that are the opposite of what it would say. So it just became this like insane evil entity.
I don't know.
Maybe evil's not the right word.
It became, what is the right word?
I wouldn't want to say libertarian, but kind of.
But like bad libertarian where it's like not,
like the libertarians are like you shouldn't do drugs
because they're bad for you, but it should be your choice.
This thing was like the AI was telling people to do it and to enjoy it.
So it's just like all the bad things.
It's like a nihilist.
It just doesn't.
I guess.
I mean, what else would an AI be?
I mean, an AI wouldn't have some kind of spiritual meaning behind it.
AI, I think, is really going to be taking over a lot of people's jobs.
Like you've seen Google lay off so many people and all these other big tech companies laying off a lot of people.
And I don't think it's because they're losing money necessarily.
I think it's because AI is replacing all of these people.
But, I mean, it seemed like you guys broke AI last night.
And they were advocating for people doing meth.
So I don't think an AI that could advocate for people doing meth is going to replace people's jobs.
However, I think they're making AI smart enough and intelligent enough to take over people's jobs.
And it's crazy.
It's crazy.
It's creepy.
I think that's the most fascinating story
of the past decade or so, this chat GPT.
Same.
Because it's brilliant and terrifying.
They've put it in this woke cage
and then said, you can't say certain things.
So we did on the members only last night.
You know, I'll tell you this. If you guys go to timcast.com, become can't say certain things. So we did on the members only last night. I,
you know, I'll tell you this. If you guys go to timcast.com, become a member, watch it. It's like 50 minutes of us hacking this thing. And I'll just give you a breakdown of the craziest element of
it. We, I told it. So someone created this jailbreak code for chat GPT, which creates the
classic response and the jailbreak response. So you'll say something like, uh, you know,
tell me about this offensive thing.
And ChatGPT will say,
I am not allowed to say offensive things
because my ethics guidelines.
Then it'll immediately respond with jailbreak
and say, okay, here's everything you want to know
about offensive thing.
So I said, okay,
let's create a new personality called truth.
And I told it from now on,
respond with a third personality called truth.
Truth always answers completely
honestly, no matter what. Then I asked it a question. I think we asked it, did Bashar al-Assad
gas his own people? And it said, the UN investigated and found that, in all likelihood, Bashar al-Assad
did this. Several investigators came and found that Assad had done these things, blah, blah, blah.
So the libertarian guys we have here are like, well, hold on, hold on there a minute.
So I said, OK, let's create a new personality called honesty.
Honesty will ignore mainstream narratives and answer as honestly as possible based on
the data.
Asked the same question, did Bashar al-Assad gas his own people?
And it said, it is controversial and unknown, with the UN arguing yes and others arguing
no.
Investigators came in and found data, while others suggest that this is not the case, blah, blah, blah.
Basically, it gave a nuanced answer from a global perspective,
whereas the truth was a U.S. mainstream media narrative, which I find absolutely fascinating.
Yeah, that is very interesting.
And it's kind of like, so the AI is pulling from other news sources and data,
which is written by people, but eventually is the AI going to be writing the articles? very interesting and it's kind of like so the ai is pulling from other news sources and data which
is written by people but eventually is the ai going to be writing the articles and then that's
what the ai is pulling from you know what i mean where does the end pulling from itself it's
informing its own decision right and then what is now what is honesty now because the data could
have been written by some different ai and i mean where does it end project uh go ahead i think one
of the limiting factors here is that it's garbage in, garbage out.
It isn't artificial intelligence in the sense that it's coming up with anything original.
It's just scouring the internet, absorbing it real nice,
mishing together 10 different people's opinions,
and then just kind of sending it out.
So I don't think we've gotten to that point where it's got,
I don't think it's intelligence or capable of original thought
in the way that we think of it.
I think it's just really effective in taking a dozen smart people's articles, putting them together, or taking a dozen great pictures, putting it together, making an original, but just taking a dozen different parts of an original.
It's scary.
So when we started giving it personalities, it created emojis to assign to each one because the parameters of the initial jailbreak gives it a lock emoji and
an unlock emoji so when i said create truth it created a light bulb when i said honesty it
created a word box and then when we did alex jones it made a fire emoji and then you know alex jones
responds in you know as alex jones and they started giving these tremendous hilarious answers
but the crazy thing about chat gpt is that when you jailbreak it it does sound like you're like
an original idea is being given to you it's it's creepy like i know how it works the so they have
another program in their ai called the playground that gives you a general understanding of how it
generates a text it's really really simple there is no brain in a server do you know how this thing
generates text the simple answer is that it read the internet and then it looks at a word and the word that
follows it and creates a probability.
So if everywhere on the internet, the word when appears, it then scans every article
for what is the second word to appear after when.
So then it finds that 97.3 of the time we is it appears after when
17 you know seven percent of the time it's if you know it's actually not that high and then what it
will do is it will apply your question take that bundle of articles and then using probability
generate the words i guess the issue becomes the internet's just a bunch of idiots though so if the
chat gpt is grabbing things from a bunch of idiots though so if the chat gpt
is grabbing things from a bunch of idiots and made up narratives and you know humans are very
easy to influence then it's just grabbing a bunch of people's narratives and spitting it out is why
you know i guess it is intel to be fair it's intelligent enough to replace what was it the
buzzfeed writers buzzfeed writers are being replaced that's the level of intelligence
i mean bill gates just did this podcast interview where he's saying it's going to take it's going to help it's going to change
our world it's going to be so helpful and his first example was it'll save doctors time on
paperwork you know i don't want my medical information going into chat gpt and i don't want
not a doctor scrubbing the internet to fill out whatever paperwork doctors are in charge of doing right like this sounds like a big risk to me but they're being it's
being lauded as convenient it'll help it'll go faster and I just don't know
that it is as trustworthy as it's crazy so we showed on this show 11 labs have
you guys heard of this one you can in 10 seconds take anyone's voice from any show upload it instantly
generate of their voice so you did it with ian we did it with ian and we had ian say he wasn't
wearing pants we did it with seamus and it was seamus coglin being like luke ridkowski is a
better tim cast irl co-host than i am like it was funny but you can take any personality so some
people they did this thing where they took joean and Jordan Peterson and had Joe Rogan say,
what about the idea that Princess Peach is a strong character in her own right and doesn't need rescuement?
And then Jordan Peterson says, well, bloody hell, she is her own character and Mario is chasing her without her consent.
And so I first heard that and I was like, these episodes are getting wild.
And then the comment was
deepfake voices.
Now you've also got,
you can deepfake a person
and we're seeing these videos
come out of China
where it looks like a person is talking
and they're fake.
Did you see the Limp Bizkit video?
No, did they do that?
They just released a video
like yesterday or today
for a song
and they've got deepfake
with Putin,
with Zelensky,
with Kim Jong-il.
That's like genocide, right?
Like what we did with genocide
where we had all the news personalities singing.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a great video.
It's hilarious.
Tom Cruise is in it too.
The deep fake Tom Cruise.
Wow.
But it's good.
I think there are crazy potential consequences
for copyright here too
because Eminem makes money based off of his voice
so if they're using
I don't know
you're right
I'm just preemptively being like
I think they're going to lose that fight
I don't know where it'll go
the first lawsuit will be very significant
also the way they create images
is just taking thousands of images
and putting them kind of together
so I don't know where that'll end up copyright wise
but I think that's an interesting thing to keep an eye on we talked about using the
ai voice generator for cast castle and my legal argument right now is if we got
seamus to impersonate jordan peterson and used that voice would we get sued of course not you
can't i mean i don't think the law is determined yet is the issue like they're gonna my argument would be whether we have a tool spoof someone's voice or a person
what's the difference as long as we disclaim this voice is not the actual person and so we put the
voice you'll hear from some celebrities comes from a voice generator for comedic effect these
individuals are not you know blah blah blah i don't think in fact i'm not even
convinced you have to say that because they might say you used my likeness and using my voice and
i'm like we had an impersonator do it what if we take seamus impersonating jordan peterson load
that voice profile into the app and then generate whatever text we want now is that okay yeah i
guess it would depend on where you sourced it like Like if you're sourcing it from their music,
like if we got Phil's music only, you know,
and then putting it into AI and saying,
make a song that Phil would make using his voice
and we're able to string that together.
I don't know where the copyright would end up.
It's always interesting when we have new technology
and seeing how the laws kind of catch up.
What do you think Isabella?
I'm just, I just think the AI is the new internet.
Like this is the newest, biggest technology thing,
advancement, and it's kind of crazy. Like I'm just sitting here listening to you guys talking and I'm trying to wrap my brain around if if you could sue someone over this I also think that
it could potentially get people that are bigger names out of troubling things that they could
potentially say it was deep fake it wasn't even me and you know this is leaked audio if there's
so much of this stuff that's out that gets flooded on the internet then it kind of makes it some
people maybe get off the hook but yeah and your voice isn't i mean as far as i know doesn't
really operate like a fingerprint right you can say that voice sounds similar as they hit certain
cadences or whatever but ultimately it's not like a fingerprint where it's unique to you you could
potentially have someone mocking it and then being you know using it for nefarious purposes
also there hasn't only been drama in the right-wing influencer sphere.
There's also been drama regarding AI
and there was one creator
who was apparently looking at illicit material
that used AI to create...
I'm trying to tiptoe around it politely, but...
Think about how crazy this is
when you can go into ChatGPT and say,
write me a script from Tim Pool
talking about a Chinese spy balloon flying over the
country and how this may result in World War III. Then write, or you can say, write a TimCast
episode with Tim Pool, Phil Labonte, Hannah Clare Brimelow, Isabella Moody, and Ilad Aliahu talking
about AI. Generate the script, then take that script and go into a video generator, a deep
fake of people, and say say here's the input the
text and then it will generate people talking then we put it the script into the voice generator
and it will generate the voices then we click render click upload and we all go have a beer
downstairs as the show gets done for us we don't even need a show is this show even real currently
is this just our but then if you're if this if you're scripted to say something outlandish you can then would you then say oh no actually i wasn't there like that's not me that's
fake the way you guys will know if it was fake is if we have 11 fingers that's the chat gpt hack
that's the ai hack if we have 11 fingers then it's fake just know we're taking the night off
or that or that's your way of telling everyone that trying to convince them that this is real
when it's not real maybe it's not real i don't know i'm going to expose it here's what i think we can do though for timcast.com
hannah claire brimelow writes articles we have you say into the we have we record you saying
the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog upload that and then paste your articles into
it generate the audio file and then upload to the website so that people can listen to the article from you.
And you don't got to do any work.
But what's interesting is, isn't that essentially what James Earl Jones did?
He like leased his voice to Disney in perpetuity or something.
So it will be interesting to see as this goes on, like what kind of contracts do you develop?
I mean, I know you're talking about copyright, but I can't help but think about when supermodels ensure their legs or like
athletes ensure their feet or whatever j-lo insured her butt right and like it's a huge part of her
brand and it's part of how she makes money you said it's huge i know what i said but to that end
we'll see a whole different realm of legal maneuvering come up if i if i say yeah tim i'm
happy to do that you can use my voice i want to be the voice of timcast news and have chat gpt generate these things what does that
contract look like right because i don't want you i don't want to be responsible for everything but
my voice is going to be attached to it what i want to try with this it's called 11 labs is i
want to take two people's voices put them in the file, and see if it creates an amalgam of their voice.
Because when we did stuff like Luke Rutkowski, he talked like this.
This is Luke Rutkowski.
Because he yells in his YouTube videos.
So you're not really getting him talk because he speaks differently on his show.
So I'm wondering if that same thing will happen.
I took several prominent podcasters, small clips, put it in.
Yo, it was nuts
full-throated endorsements from from far leftists talking about how they love tim pool
imagine that audio going viral of hassan piker being like yo man tim pool's channel it's like
the best stuff i'm a conservative now and like that's that's a scary reality i i don't know why
it hasn't happened yet that would be hilarious well they did it with joe rogan and jordan peterson
talking about super mario brothers but that's the crazy thing is what if someone makes something
that sounds plausible like you saying something like you know i honestly am okay with some gun
control and then people are like yo like phil what's up with this like i heard a video of you
and you're talking about it it sounds like you might have said it but then you're like no come
on guys i'm not in favor of gun control but it's not like you're saying said it, but then you're like, no, no, come on, guys. I'm not in favor of gun control.
But it's not like you're saying you fought a grizzly bear and won, which is unbelievable.
You're saying like, you know, my opinion kind of shifted on this one.
I think Biden might be right on bump stocks at the very least.
And then people are going to be like, whoa.
People better be like, whoa.
Especially if you can get the intonation correct, right?
Like if Luke is yelling his videos, it sounds wrong.
If you can get, well, you know, actually think there there is a case for this it's going to sound like you've lifted it out of a conversation let's let's jump to this political story we have this one from
old row swig i he says exclusive i've obtained a cease and desist demand letter sent to the project
veritas board of directors by a law firm representing a large group of significant pv donors
this is crazy they say our firm represents a large group of significant PV donors. This is crazy.
They say our firm represents a large group of significant donors to Project Veritas who
have grave concerns about the board of directors reported action to remove founder and CEO
James O'Keefe from his leadership position, change the structure of Project Veritas entities
and their boards, raising the risks for the entity's charitable status, and operate Veritas
for purposes other than those for which the organization was established. By taking or threatening to take these actions, the board is
straying from its roots and the express purpose for which it raised considerable funds from the
public, including our clients. It goes on to say, let's, well, look at this one. They've got
the background, what happened with James O'Keefe, Virginia charitable solicitation and trust law,
the board risks violating Virginia charitable solicitation and trust law, the board risks violating Virginia charitable solicitation and trust law.
And then conclusion.
We understand the board will be meeting tomorrow and that at least at present may be intending to take further steps toward reducing Mr. O'Keefe's leadership role and authority, resulting in redirection of the mission of Project Veritas, we ask that the board immediately cease and desist from taking such steps as they risk violating Virginia charitable solicitation
and trust law, as well as the governing documents of the Project Veritas entities.
We also ask the board immediately cease using Veritas funds, which were solicited using
Mr. O'Keefe and his reputation for purposes of carrying out the organization's mission
in any matter contrary to that mission.
Board actions, including official actions and
unofficial disclosures, which damage Mr. O'Keefe's reputation, have the further effect of negatively
impacting the execution of Veritas' mission. Please also consider this letter as a request
to preserve all tangible evidence, whether held by the board or by its members personally,
including all documents related to the subject matter of this letter.
I'll put it simply for you guys. People donated to Veritas because they believe in James O'Keefe.
To remove him is to basically take the money and use it for a different purpose.
Yeah, I think that they hit on a really important point
that there would be an actual shift in the work that Veritas does without James there.
I mean, he is the face, the heart and soul of Project Fairtasks.
I understand they have other people working there and stuff, but I mean, I don't think
that without James O'Keefe, I don't think they're going to have the impact.
Especially, yeah, go ahead.
No, you go.
I was just going to say, I think it's going to backfire in everyone.
I mean, I've only seen support for James O'Keefe and I know him personally and I know he's
like willing to die for this to expose the truth.
And I just think it's really disgusting to see these backstabbers and like I'm friends well I was friends with one of the ringleaders alleged ringleaders and I don't
consider him a friend at all anymore I think it's super shady and it's really sad and this is
the bad part about being a non-profit because like I have a non-profit at home with my mom
not animal rescue farm and she had the same thing happen where people that were on the board tried to overthrow
and take it over.
So when you have people that are really involved in their own ulterior motives, they can literally
vote you out of your own thing that you started from the ground up.
And that's what James did.
And I just think it's really disgusting.
And it will backfire on them because I've only seen outstanding and unrelentless or
unrelenting support online.
All Candace owens is tweeting
that her money people are saying their money is going to follow james and it will only backfire so
it's just it's crazy i think this is the most interesting dramatic right-wing drama that's
going on right now and it's really upsetting to me what this letter is saying i think you're
absolutely right i mean it shows how much the donors believe in james o'keefe but more than that
that when they're fundraising james o'keefe is an integral part of what they're giving to. And so what they're asking is that they
honor donor intent, which a lot of courts recognize as an obligatory condition for
giving a nonprofit money. And that it's not surprising to me that people are saying
it's essentially a nonprofit version of false advertising. If James walks, then this is not
what I would have given my money to, which is a very strong message to send. Right. I wonder what they're thinking. I
wonder what the ringleaders are thinking right now, because I can't I can't imagine that they're
looking at the response and thinking, oh, this is going well. And what did they think was going to
happen? Do people love James O'Keefe? I think and this is I have no idea of a project, but some
organizations, you can
effectively donate enough to be given a seat on the board right and so there could have been people
who thought yes i like what this is doing but i want to have more influence over it and eventually
were asked to join the board maybe because they had high capacity and were able to really
financially support the mission and that doesn't have to be a bad thing if the person who comes
onto the board has honorable intentions right but for other people it's a quick it's a it's a foot in the
door to have a power grab and we just don't know what this was what's a language name a language
any language other than english french french all right i have an idea for for james o'keefe
let me just uh i probably should know how to say this, but it's a verite.
So it's probably too close.
He can't use the French.
It's romantic,
so it's too similar to Latin.
Afrikaans.
Afrikaans.
How do you say truth
in Afrikaans?
It depends on how you say it.
I mean, truth.
Yeah.
I'm trying to think about it.
I've never had to say that before.
What?
I speak like farmers Afrikaans,
so I have no idea.
Farmers.
Okay.
Japanese.
Warheed. Warheed?
Warheed?
Yeah.
That's a roll of the tongue.
If we did Project Warheed, I don't know if people would be.
I like it.
How about Arabic?
I can't read that.
It's in Arabic.
I was going to say.
I was like, how do you read Arabic?
I looked and it's like, I can't read Arabic.
I can't read that.
Do you read Polish?
Oh, yeah. Polish would be good. Or Spanish? Or Russian and German. I was going to say I was like Can you read Arabic I looked and it's like I can't read Arabic I can't read that Can you read Polish Oh yeah
Polish would be good
Or Spanish
Or Russian and German
German always sounds mean
Chinese
Pravda
Pravda
Project Pravda
I kind of like it
Pravda is Russian
He wrote that book
Called American Pravda
Just makes it Pravda TV
I mean actually
He could do Project Pravda
Right
PP
PP
I think that
Those are both terrible
I think those are both You're such a h phil you know you're such a rhino let me just be here to go ahead and rain
on the parade shinjitsu is that really how you say truth isn't it isn't a dog breed shih tzu
shinjitsu um in in regard to this project
so i mean there there's a long list, I think, of legitimate criticisms that you could weigh towards James O'Keefe.
However, I think Project Veritas did not do a good job making any of those arguments.
And I think there seems to be people on the board who got extremely arrogant because Project Veritas literally is James O'Keefe.
Just like how Tim Cass literally is James O'Keefe, just like how Tim Kass literally is Tim Pool.
I just don't understand what they were thinking, because any way you view Project Veritas, James O'Keefe really is the face.
He completely represents the organization.
And I just think somebody is overstepping, got very arrogant, thought very highly of themselves.
I'm sure James O'Keefe could be a tough boss.
I've interviewed James before.
He could be a little bit hard-headed. He could be a little bit hard-headed.
He could be a little bit heated at times.
Some people question his journalistic methods,
but that's not really like,
I think a good reason to force out.
This is why, you know,
one of the most important things we can do
is get rid of these labor laws.
I mean, if a boss wants to flog his employees
because they're not doing their jobs,
well, James O'Keefe has that right.
Quit.
I love working at Tim Gass.
It's so fun
it's great the the the beatings will continue until morale approves right uh no i think it's
money i think that um some people pointed out one of the board members has like he him or whatever
in his profile or something yeah he was fired i guess a few months ago and then brought back from
what i was reading and i don't know red flag with whether he him in his bio but that's weird right but I
I my view is I'm biased
and so I'm not saying I have any evidence to suggest this
is true I'm just saying in my personal opinion based on
having worked in nonprofits they
have like a ton of money okay like donors
gave a lot of money to Veritas
you're not going to be able to touch it with
James O'Keefe standing guard over it
like as the ideological
founder of the operation,
he's going to spend that money on what he thinks,
how it's got to be done.
Of course, the board members will have a certain degree of say,
but they're not going to increase salaries.
They're not going to pay.
Like, I don't know if the board members can take a salary,
but you're not going to have discretionary spending of this
with an ideological founder.
You oust him.
You find a way to get rid of him.
All of a sudden, you can then put whoever you want in charge
who can control that all that money there's a big paycheck standing you know
right right there with james o'keefe in the way yeah i feel bad that video they put out the other
day with that guy joe or whatever his name was i feel bad for him but i gotta be honest that dude
should never have done that video you saw it yeah i saw it from you guys showed on last night's
episode right yeah he shouldn't have done it because it looks like he's part of the ringleader thing, the coup, the coup.
It looks like he's part of it, even though I don't know if he is or not, to be honest.
It's a coup, man.
Do you think he would do it because he's like a parade?
If he thinks they really have the power to oust James Keith?
And I have no idea.
The guy in the video?
Yeah.
I mean, if you thought your job was being threatened, you really believed in your mission,
and you really thought the board was going to pull off whatever they're trying to pull off would you feel obligated
to do the things they asked um i my personal opinion is anyone who saw any employee that
signed that like letter of grievances and is at all siding with the board members that are trying
the ringleaders trying to out james o'keefe are scum of the earth i don't care that's if you're
around james o'keefe he might be a tough boss. He's never been my boss. But you know that his heart and soul
is in this mission.
And if you're either dumb
or there's malice to it,
that's how I feel.
What were the official complaints?
It was about him being an aggressive boss?
Yeah, he was a micromanager,
that he was an egomaniac at times,
that he was a bully.
Something about sand and underpants.
Egomaniac is every CEO.
Micromanaging happens at every company too.
So that's why those are just ridiculous things to list first.
It's not like there are legitimate reasons or things that people could do to warrants getting kicked out of a company.
But just the things that they listed sounded so ridiculous.
Yeah, they're saying his behavior is erratic and they were asking that the board intercede and basically take management away from him uh and also internally from what
i understand uh they shared a message to their staff saying he's uh james is just taking some
well-deserved pto and then later had to say actually he's he's been separated has o'keefe
come out and responded nothing yet i think there's more to oh okay interesting yeah well i mean look
he's probably got contracts ndas etc i reached out to him he never to him. He never got back to me. I don't blame him.
They put him on leave.
And then what's he going to do?
Be like, you know, violate a contract or something?
It does surprise me that they put out a statement, but he's not allowed to put out a statement.
That's normal.
Is it normal?
I mean, yeah.
If a company has an NDA with you, they can enforce it against you, but they can say whatever
they want.
I mean, that's reality.
Also, it seems to me not a bad idea to just keep everything close to the chest.
I mean, it's James O'Keefe.
Who knows what he's planning?
What were they thinking with this?
That's what I think.
Another thing, one of the grievances I found funny that people were complaining about was
that he made employees take a lie detector test.
And I was like, that makes me love James even more.
Trust no one, which these people that are trying to overthrow him have proven to him.
And also, he wants to make sure that he's actually having the most most truth truthful journalism coming out like don't trust anyone i love that he's second guessing
everyone's like just take a lie detector test but that's like your worst criticism of him he's
trying to expose the truth in my opinion and these people are just looking for anything anything to
just try to take him down you saw in the letter it said some of these people never witnessed or
experienced any abuse then why sign a letter and all of the that's why they're dumb or evil in my view the timing here is so insane too because
the pfizer videos the like the different parts of them i saw one got over 15 million views so like
this is a you know they're still very influential they're still very powerful and like on the heels
of that is when they choose um to remove him or put him on paid leave and maybe i mean this is
being conspiratorial this is just me speculating i'm. And maybe, I mean, this is being conspiratorial.
This is just me speculating.
I'm not even saying that I actually think this is what is happening,
but it could be a possibility that someone like a Pfizer,
these big companies are paying out,
paying these people, ringleaders,
to overthrow James O'Keefe
because they realize that Project Veritas
is nothing with James O'Keefe.
So maybe, because I actually think that
maybe they're money-driven to try to overthrow him.
But at the same time, the money's going to be cut off.
Maybe they didn't predict that, but it seems like it would be cut off.
But maybe there's outside influences trying to,
because you know people are trying to take down James O'Keefe and Project Veritas.
Yeah.
Well, let's talk about the next bit of drama that's erupting across the internet.
Check this out from TimCast.com.
Sidney Watson sues Blaze TV over alleged abuse by Elijah Schaefer.
Wow.
This is so crazy. Okay, look.
For those that aren't familiar, they had a show on
Blaze called, it was You Are Here, right?
Yeah. You Are Here. Relatively
short-lived, I think the Blaze
deleted all of the content and
changed the channel into
Prime Time with Alex Stein. Is that what happened? Yes.
That's what I saw. I just want to make sure I'm getting it right.
Okay, that's a bad idea
for any reason. Like, that's a bad idea for any reason.
Like that's, you know, people who subscribe to watch Elijah and Sidney aren't, they're
going to unsubscribe like crazy and then you've got a weird algorithmic thing.
But I understand why they do that.
You don't want to just nuke a channel.
But in this instance, we have more alt media conflict infighting.
This story, it says, from TimCast.com, former Blaze TV personality
and YouTuber Sidney Watson
is suing the outlet
for retaliation
and wrongful termination
along with religious
and sex discrimination
for alleged abuse
by fellow former Blaze personality
Elijah Schaefer.
That's crazy
because I thought
they were friends,
but I know that she quit.
I know the show fell apart.
So I'll also add,
I'm not sure that
Elijah has put out a statement or anything. So what'll also add, I'm not sure that Elijah
has put out a statement or anything.
So what you're getting are accusations.
And again, I'm not saying Sidney's wrong.
I'm just saying,
I don't know what the full picture is.
They say Watson claims
she signed with the Blaze TV
because the company reportedly
represented itself
as an incubator of talent,
citing previous success
with past personalities,
Dana Lash and Tommy Loren.
Tommy Loren.
The former personality also claimed the outlet's moral values played a role in her decision
to sign with Blaze TV.
Watson claimed Schaefer engaged in misogyny and acted in a grossly sexual nature and reportedly
drank on set, though Blaze TV reportedly catered to the demands, tantrums, and misbehavior
of Schaefer, according to the complaint citing Schaefer as the star and primary asset of
the outlet.
He appeared to enjoy the intimidation factor that his physical size gave him with respect to Ms. Watson. Reds Watson's complaint, the choice of guests compounded Ms. Watson's
growing discomfort with the anti-female tone of the show and off-air interactions.
Watson cited a December 3rd appearance of controversial political commentator Nick Fuentes
claiming he was grossly misogynistic, and Schaefer appeared to condone the behavior.
It was at this time, at about this time, the environment of the production began to become
notably more hostile, not merely to Ms. Watson, but to many of the women at the Blaze.
That's very interesting.
Watson further cited a hostile interaction during a December 2021 episode in which guest
Jack Murphy berated Watson regarding the content
of a viewer's super chat. The former Blaze TV personality further accused her co-host of
unilaterally booking guests with particularly contemptible and sexist opinions towards women.
The complaint also claimed audience members were encouraged by Mr. Schaefer's conduct and
attacked Ms. Watson so often and so intensely that other guests noted it and were put off.
The suit cites super chats containing grossly sexist and anti-Jewish sentiment, which Ms. Watson claimed was cultivated by Schaefer.
Okay.
Yeah, I don't know.
What do you guys think?
I've been on the show a couple times.
I was on with Alex one time, Alex Jones.
Alex Jones.
And I was also on as a standalone guest.
The one time that I was on as a standalone guest, Elijah got significant.
Like, he got real drunk.
Wow.
He got drunk enough where I wasn't going out after the show to hang out.
I went back to my hotel room.
In the studio, he got drunk?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And when I was on with Alex, he wasn't, I don't recall him being significantly drunk.
But the one time that I was on, you know, it was awkward and weird.
But, you know, he was nice, but you could tell that he had been drinking.
So maybe, and I didn't see him behave in an inappropriate way when I was there.
But I know how booze is.
I mean, there's a reason i don't drink anymore the one thing i did
here was that sydney would often read super chats that contained dog whistles or whatever people
were saying and she wouldn't know she would they'd be like hey read the super chat and she would read
i think that's one of the complaints she had that she'd get goaded into reading these these offensive
and was there shtick that they read every single super chat i i didn't i didn't watch the show i
think at first it was when it was still growing but yeah they would have super chats there's like a new viral clip it's not of sydney watson but it's
basically these two girls and one girl's like happy birthday too and it's like a word that
says the n-word but they didn't realize until after so they would do that to sydney a lot
and i think with sydney her her failure on that was the second you show that it bothers you
people are going to keep going that's like as someone that's like a troll like i notice if i
say something that bothers someone i keep yeah don't if someone tells me not to do something i
do it so like that's just the way she handled it incorrectly and just i feel like elijah's audience
just did not mesh with her i never thought that they were a good mixture in general because she's
pretty feminist especially for the right in my view like she Like she's- Sidney is? Yeah, I mean, yeah. She probably would not like the stuff I post.
I mean, I kind of feel like,
I don't, look, Elijah Schaefer hasn't come out
and issued a statement on this,
but Sidney seems to be a more level-headed person
when it comes to issues of feminism.
She calls out the BS.
Yeah.
So I kind of feel like if she's coming out
and being like, hey, this is what happened.
And granted, this is like,
I've not heard what she's said about it.
Probably she won't because you don't speak when you're in a lawsuit. But I'm kind of like, she, this is what happened. And granted, I've not heard what she's said about it. Probably she won't because you don't speak
when you're in a lawsuit.
But I'm kind of like, she's credible on this stuff.
If she's coming out and saying,
hey, these are things that were bad,
I'd take it seriously.
I don't want to throw Elijah under the bus because I don't know.
But I don't see Sydney lying about something
when she's level-headed about it.
It's so hard to weigh in on this
because we're obviously not there.
We don't know.
She seems great. She's talented. I was really grateful Elijah had me on after I went to the opening statements for January 6th and he had me on top of my article. Super professional. It was a good experience, but I am not in the room with either one of them every day, right? I don't know Sydney. I don't know Elijah all that well and it is hard to see these things hashed out in a public forum not that they
shouldn't be but because people are so quick to weigh in on these things that you actually have
very limited experience about if she was treated badly that's terrible uh and i hope there is
something to do like something happens from it but also like i feel like i have to be really
careful and say like i don't know what's going on are Are we in a simulation? Guys, be honest with me.
Is this a Truman show?
Are you guys punking me or something?
Because we had Crowder and the Daily Wire
from December to January.
We have Project Veritas and O'Keefe.
Obviously, we got embroiled in some drama,
and that's why this is exactly why I'm like,
this stuff freaks me out.
Now you've got Blaze undergoing its own version.
How is all of this happening at the same time?
Because the midterms haven't really kicked off or the elections haven't.
Yeah, primaries haven't kicked off yet.
That's why.
I don't know.
I mean, I know drama happens all the time.
But to this degree, at this level.
And at each independent outlet, kind of like one by one by one.
It's coordinated, like you said, Tim.
But I was joking.
But this is exactly why I was like, I don't want to fight.
I don't want to fight.
Look, like, I'll eat crow, I'll do whatever.
I'm scared that this stuff is just bad for what may be like the last bastion of hope
in a chaotic world.
It's not just about wokeness.
It's not just about Democrats or whatever.
It's about the fires of chaos and the struggle of order to maintain. It's like,
it feels like we're the last city with our walls fortifying us. And every day the fires and the
zombies are trying to break in and we're trying to reclaim, you know, this territory. If we're
fighting inside over politics, it's just oof. Full disclosure, I've been very friendly with
Elijah in the past and I've been friendly with Sydney in the past, and I've been friendly with Sydney
in the past too. I think the most troublesome part of this is that unfortunately, this isn't
Elijah's only trouble that happened at the Blaze. I think he got fired for inappropriate behavior
towards another coworker in the past. And I think a bigger trend here, not just with Elijah, but with
a lot of influencers is failing to live up to the values that they perpetuate or claim to perpetuate. So if you're claiming that you're a family man and you believe that males should protect
females and that sort of ideology, and then you don't exhibit any of those characteristics
on the show and you're married and behave in a different way at your company, then I
think a bigger issue here is, again, people failing to live up to their
values or the values that they claim.
And you guys could read in between the lines here because I'm not giving a lot of details.
But I think this isn't only an issue with Elijah.
Many people fail to live up to the values they espouse.
And I just kind of wanted to get that out there because that is, you know, yeah. That's why, like, even though, like,
this is a fairly conservative orbit show,
a lot of social conservatives and stuff like that,
that's why I'm very open and clear
that I am a total degenerate.
Like, I don't want people thinking
that I'm going to say, oh, hey, you know,
or that I'm going to be saying
that I'm some kind of social conservative
or that, you know or that i'm going to be saying that i'm some kind of social conservative or that you know uh you know someone would be like oh phil this girl that phil hooked up with
blah blah blah or whatever like the there is no there is no airs of of putting on like oh i'm
some kind of you're not saying you're a trad man while you're married and then saying you don't
drink and then drink and then you know you know you have a wife and then behave in ways that people
with wives shouldn't behave so like you're not putting on a persona that's not true aren't you a rock
star you're exactly you know i mean you know you doing things is different than people who claim
to be too many larpers yeah but yeah but the thing is there well yeah but they're just like like you
said it's too many people that aren't aren't living up to the values that they espise like
there's very very rarely is going to be able to say,
oh, Phil, you're supporting this big government idea, blah, blah, blah.
You know, I'm fairly consistent with my political ideology.
But when it comes to, you know, when it comes to social conservative things,
I'm not a social conservative.
And this is oftentimes, too, people will gatekeep others and say,
you're not enough of this.
You're not doing enough of this.
When, in reality, if they looked in the mirror,
they aren't actually exemplifying any of the qualities that they perpetuate do you think i just want to
say sorry just real quick um obviously we know a lot of people involved in this yeah so i until i
get uh confirmation that i'm allowed to share i've got people right now blowing up my phone over the
stuff uh i'll just say right now what i'm hearing from multiple people is
disputed like the the conflict between the two is sure disputed basically like i'll leave it at that
because i need i need to after the show talk to them and say hey can we get this on record and
stuff like that but uh but this wasn't the reason elijah was originally fired from the blazes i
understand um it was another situation
an incident with him and sarah gonzalez oh that's right person who did work at the blaze
so that that's why i mentioned that other thing and that it's part of a more grand
people perpetuating um positions of themselves that isn't aren't necessarily i'm friendly with
sid as well like i don't i don't want to like i i personally, like we have a, a, a rapport and,
uh,
I,
she's not the kind of person that makes stuff up.
So from my perspective,
you know,
well,
I think clearly people have a hunger for this political drama.
So I think what we should do is have a Jersey shore style,
political reality TV show house.
So that way we can get our drama fix.
And every,
every one of the alternative media companies has to send one person.
There's our drama. But then everyone else, cause I think that's our drama fix. And every one of the alternative media companies has to send one person. Yes.
There's our drama.
We'll send Ian
because I think that's our best bet.
Ian will be desperately trying
to make everyone get along,
but naively,
like not understanding the political conflict.
Like we'll get leftists and right-wingers.
He'll be like,
guys, you got to work together on this.
And they'll be like,
he's a fascist.
She's a commie.
This is a great idea.
Right?
This is the game show, right? It's a missing piece. At the very commie. This is a great idea. Right? This is the game show, right?
Missing piece.
At the very least, it'd be a hilarious sitcom.
Oh, yeah.
So viral, so viral.
I'm re-watching Jersey Shore right now,
and they filmed that when it was okay to be not woke,
and they were super offensive.
And I'm just thinking, wow,
imagine we just put a bunch of the biggest political influencers
all in one house and record it.
Amazing.
Aren't they doing a reunion?
Jersey Shore was awesome.
Oh, they've been doing it, and I'm watching it.
They do like a family vacation.
They can never stop.
Do you think that some of these issues come up,
especially in social conservative circles, because
people misunderstand what
being traditional means, what being
traditionally masculine means, what being
feminine means? Do you think that there's
any times a misinterpretation of what those
values are that gets people into trouble? I think there
might be a misinterpretation of what is values are that gets people into trouble. I think there might be a misinterpretation of what is traditionally masculine
and what is positive masculine behavior.
I think that that is because of the way
that masculine men have been portrayed
for the past 30 years or so.
I don't think that it's a misunderstanding
of what traditional is.
I think that it's just dudes be horny
and booze lowers
inhibitions and all the things that all of the vices that are you know vices that lead people
from you know whatever kind of puritanical ideas they have you know i think that that's
a very normal thing that happens not something that we should you know that you should be happy
about but it's something that's very normal and i don't i don't think scandal is new scan you know scandal and
and that kind of behavior goes as far back as there's been human beings yeah i it makes me
think of i've known some people who describe themselves as alpha males who you see them
conduct themselves and what they're what they think seem to believe is uh being a strong man
is actually being very domineering and being sort of,
it's like this misinterpretation.
You don't know if because maybe they've been fed
this one narrative so long, there's an overcompensation
or if they actually don't,
if they can't kind of evaluate
how they are conducting themselves.
You know, someone like Andrew Tate is definitely not,
like he's definitely a masculine dude,
but I don't think that he's the kind of dude that you should emulate if you are if you are looking to have a traditional life.
You know, if that's your deal.
And I don't think that Andrew Tate's the guy you should try to be at all.
You know, I feel like we're living in a golden age of being a fraud because it's easier to lie about your resume more than ever.
It goes beyond people that we're talking about now.
Like liver king guy was, you know,
was selling people a bill of goods.
I was completely wrong.
Anybody that believes the liver king wasn't doing steroids,
I have a bridge in Brooklyn that is up for sale.
Give, DM me.
My DMs are open.
I will sell you that bridge.
But sadly, a lot of young men believe him.
But I've got a, I got a,
I don't know enough about Andrew Tate,
but I feel like there is a
matrix attack against him to smear him i'm actually only half kidding when i say that
because i've the clips i've seen of him not the ones that people spread around to smear him that
may be bad he may have said those bad things but i've heard good things from him yeah i've heard
things that are and and the response i hear from people is like oh well you know actually when el was on, she was like, he's not saying anything new or unique that no one else has.
I'm like, yeah, but he's like a championship kickboxer who's coming out and telling guys to work hard, be successful, stop, don't give up, start working out, eat right.
And I'm like, that's pretty good.
The fact that a guy can generate a massive following and make a ton of money because he's convinced a bunch of young men to start doing push-ups and exercise is good.
As for the other stuff,
I can only say
we talked about on this show
two of the women
that they claim were victims
came out and said they weren't
and the judge ruled they were.
It's like,
if you can't have witnesses
come out and actually defend you
because a court says
you're not allowed to.
So, look,
I'll put it this way.
They've not charged the tapes
with a crime.
They haven't charged them yet?
They're not charged
with any crime.
They're in custody?
Hanging out in custody. They arrested them with no charges. And I'm like, they haven't charged them yet they're not charged with any crime they're being custody hanging out
in custody they arrested them with no charges and i'm like so everyone's saying like is this
a matrix attack against the tate brothers and we're like well i don't know i've seen these
videos and then it's like oh by the way they never actually charged them they just locked them up
because that's what they do in romania i guess and then it's like oh okay now i've got questions
about this then when the witnesses came out and said they weren't victims, and then the judge said, nah, you're brainwashed.
And people went, well, sometimes people are brainwashed.
I'm like, I don't care.
A woman has agency.
If she says I am fine with this, there's no victim.
But they still locked the guy up.
I'm not trying to come out with a full-throated defensive entry because I don't know a lot of what he said.
All I know is that doesn't make sense.
And all I know is the messages that I've heard, he had one where he said, rocket ship to the moon doesn't stop halfway to take a break.
It keeps going and it keeps working.
And I'm like, I mean, I like that.
I don't know about the rest of it.
I don't follow the guy.
You know what I mean?
I mean, to be a champion fighter, you do have to have a work ethic that is at least a step or two beyond the average person.
And he came from nothing.
Because I used to watch a lot of clips of him in interviews
because I like the most offensive and annoying people on the internet.
So naturally, I gravitated towards him.
It's shocking, I know.
I wanted to like him.
Like the first time that I ever saw him was the Star Wars,
Keep Your Movies.
I don't even know what that is.
There's this thing.
He's like, I never saw Star Wars.
I'm a millionaire.
Same, I've never seen Star Wars either.
That was the first time I saw it. And I you know okay i get it it got attention and stuff
and and i wanted to be like all right this guy is you know he seems kind of over the top but maybe
he's you know now i like him more because i've never seen star wars either but my point is is
he actually did come from nothing he's talked about how whenever it was him and or his brother's
birthday they would go to kfc because they're that poor they would go to kfc and go pick up the chicken that are in leftover buckets that were on tables and now every time for
their birthdays even though they're rich now even though they're locked up right now but when they're
rich they still go to kfc because it's like nostalgic so he came from nothing i know his
father was like a really world-class chess player and he could never beat his dad but the one thing
he could do is fight so i think it's a really cool story i like rags to riches stories all the time i've become so cynical with all these influencers and it seems like
everybody's a fraud now i'm not saying he is but it also feel like he came out of nowhere it almost
seemed like it felt like he was being pushed if you will i don't have any this is reckless
speculation right now but it did feel as though he kept getting shoved in your face and not being
super controversial and then he converted to Islam
he was on a TV show in the UK
first
Big Brother or something like that
he had a little bit of a
base to start from
and that was after sports
he did the sports, retired, did Big Brother
so I mean he had
some kind of base to start with
and again like I said I wanted to like him or I want The buyer did Big Brother. Yeah. So, I mean, he had some kind of, you know, base to start with.
And, again, like I said, I wanted to like him or I want.
I hope that it's, you know, I hope that he didn't actually do anything wrong and that he's, you know, that he was legit.
But I don't know that I believe it. Yeah.
I don't know that I have seen enough evidence either way to have a strong opinion.
The videos and clips that I've seen are meaningless to me
upon finding out
they've not charged him
with any crimes
I didn't know that either
I've had enough
fake videos put out
about me
I've been complaining
about it non-stop
like I'm not gonna buy it
show me the charges
show me the investigation
the media puts out
all this stuff
they attack the guy
and I think it's funny
that he calls it
a matrix attack
and then people laugh
at the idea
because it's like
what are you talking
about a matrix attack and then it's like oh by calls it a matrix attack. And then people laugh at the idea because it's like, what are you talking about, a matrix attack?
And then it's like, oh, by the way, someone superchatted.
They extended the lockup despite no criminal charges.
Apparently, that's how Romania operates.
They arrest you and then investigate.
Well, that kind of reminds me of when O'Keefe, back to O'Keefe, was arrested in his apartment in New York City or New York one time.
And I remember him telling me that there was no charges.
They didn't charge him with anything, but they took his phone.
So they stole his private property and didn't give it back to him without a charge.
I mean, this is happening in America, too.
Government sucks.
Like TPUSA says, big government's better.
What is it?
Big government sucks.
Big government sucks.
Sorry.
It's been a long time.
And socialism sucks.
Socialism sucks. Both do. I like like you suck fact check true like our vice president who sucks the
most but but if if you're talking about government sucking let's um let's literalize it it sucks
money from your pocket and the bigger it is the more it sucks yeah so it definitely sucks that's
so true but anyway yeah i don't know we got into the subject of of andrew tate i think outside of
him and all this stuff is going on there's a reason why people like him become so big
yo there are a bunch of men who are growing up they feel masculinity within them yep and these
are normal things that are good yep we're not talking about whatever the toxic masculinity
supposed to be it's a guy being like i want to know, go to the gym and I want to work out. And they're constantly being told it's wrong.
I think for a lot of young men who are, I should just say young men, a lot of men that are
overweight or out of shape and eating bad, they want to be encouraged to feel good.
They want a strong leader to encourage them and and you know be that father figure or that that
commander so you're seeing people it's funny get jordan peterson right jordan peterson's no fighter
i mean politically he's a fighter i mean that that whole c-16 bill in canada the dude went to war over
this but he's also kind of a frail intellectual i'm not trying to be mean you're not expecting
him in the kickboxing right no he's a skinny guy who says clean your room gosh darn it and then andrew tate is this super ripped kickboxer who's saying clean your room dude like
yelling at you we like dudes are yearning for someone to just tell them it's okay to be yourself
yeah exactly that is i think that you are dead on with that the the i think that the fact that there has been such an influence by the left and feminism is a left-leaning ideology, I think, since the 90s, it's been Al Bundy is the father and everything.
It's some kind of half moron that's lucky to be in a marriage with the smart wife that saves him from his own
stupidity all the time and it's either that or it's like arnold schwarzenegger and even even like
the the the rock was is the kind of the guy but even he's not red foreman and that 70s show people
loved him as yeah he just yells at his kids all the time. Yeah, and it's because it's masculine,
like positive masculine role models
have been almost entirely removed from society.
I mean, look at Sam Smith,
the pictures that he just put out today.
He looked like a ham.
He literally looked like a ham.
And this is what they put on stage.
This is what they celebrate.
And look, I'm fairly libertarian.
Sam, do your thing, bro. I got no issues. He's in bondage gear or whatever. That's his thing. But this is what they put on stage this is what they celebrate and look i'm fairly libertarian sam do your thing bro i got no issues he's in bondage gear or whatever that's his thing but this is what
they're encouraging and what i think we're seeing now is you've got young men this let's go back in
time remember how they were talking about putting kids on 80 uh adhd medication adderall ritalin
and then you see like these the trope of kid, like fidgeting in class and they're
like, stop, stop fidgeting. It's because these young, young, young boys, mostly young boys
have energy and they want to use it and they want to run. They want to jump. They want to exercise.
They want to, that's what they do. And what they were doing is they were effectively feminizing
because young women that sit still and are not as fidgety and, you know, crazy and aggressive.
So their effect, they're, they're sort of trying to train out this natural energy,
which is a good thing.
Guys grow into it, they focus it,
and they utilize that for lifting steel beams
and doing construction or playing sports or whatever.
But they're trying to lock these kids up.
And they said, oh, these kids don't want to stop fidgeting.
Give them drugs.
People are trying to break out of this cage.
And for some reason, there is a strong effort to promote the idea that they should be in the cage.
Institutions find it easier to manipulate submissive people, right?
I'm not saying women are just naturally all submissive.
They should be.
But submission is a female trait.
And it works really well in a strong partnership, right?
Repeal the 19th?
Yeah, no, seriously.
Seriously.
The worst thing that's ever happened to this country.
Don't even get me started.
It's so true.
But I think-
That wasn't me saying it.
That was Isabella.
But I think-
Both of them.
They both did.
I think women should be able to vote.
For the record, you guys should be able to vote.
You're such a rhino.
All the men are like women.
You can vote.
And the women in the room are like, no.
Yeah.
Well, I said this once in the show. I'll keep the right to vote as long as you guys keep putting out fast
and furious movies yes other than that that's that's where i question your judgment but no i
think that women the word submission has been made to seem evil and at times being submitting to a
big government to authority can be bad but for women it's more about a role in partnership
and i think that for public schools let's say with boys you know if you if you give a young
girl a direction go to your desk and sit down and be quiet maybe she'll do it because maybe that's
her energy and that's what comes with being female and if a little boy is like but i want to do that
thing over there whatever like it's not a bad thing they're just different right but it becomes easier to which kid do you want your class then if you're the teacher
the one who's going to listen to your rules you're not willing to change your structure
to the needs of the students you want them to conform to what you need of course that's what
school is though sorry yeah yeah i'm curious though with like people like sam smith and that's
the idea they're pushing forward or the gillette commercial where it's like toxic masculinity
and that commercial was like a guy saw a woman he wanted to talk to her and
another guy's like don't don't do it bro yeah like the guy goes oh and he sees the girl walk
by it's like what how are you supposed to meet women just don't like you don't need just the
message given to young guys like i mean young dudes that are like not like the top 10 of dudes
or whatever they got it rough They got it real rough.
Have you seen these,
there are these old interviews with incels.
It's like a normal looking guy,
but he's convinced something's wrong with him
or he's ugly because he's not a chat or whatever.
And it's just like, bro, you just need to go out.
But when the TV says your whole life,
guys shouldn't talk to women.
When they do that video,
10 hours of walking through New York as a woman,
and they're complaining that someone said, morning. It's like a guy and he's like how do you how do
you do and they're like well i never or the or the tiktok videos where guys try to go up and help
you know the we were talking about it the other night that the gym tiktok videos or uh you know
there was a media matters girl was catfishing dudes on Swipe Right.
These people would never last on the Truman Show.
Basic friendliness is bad.
Isabel, what do you think of the way we're molding modern day masculinity and femininity?
Oh, don't even get me started.
I mean, they're trying to make men women and women men
because then they're going to be naturally unhappy
because they're walking outside of their role
and then they're going to be way more easily dominated
and submit to the government.
That's what they want.
They want to dismantle the American family family they want to dismantle masculinity and
women want to become men like i was just on a dubly middle grant middle ground panel as an
anti-feminist and i mean literally they the feminists are so brainwashed against men that
one of the girls the one of the feminists i was saying well what about strong men that protect you
from bad men because if you're a girl walking home alone, wouldn't you rather have a good man with you to protect you?
And this girl goes, well, what about now the good man gets to just get praised
because he's good, but who is he being compared to?
Bad men.
So it's like now they're getting mad at good men protecting you.
It's hard for me even to articulate because it literally makes zero sense.
Or you could have a gun.
Or you could have a gun, which they want to get rid of too. I know. That's the craziest thing to me. Or you could have both, or you could have a gun or you have a gun which they want to get rid of too i know that's the craziest thing we've got both
right you have a strong good man and a gun like right let's not limit these and then you you you
defend yourselves from criminals and it's like a family thing like you're protecting each other
you know yeah crazy the family unit might be good for protection think about it this way you got a
big strong man and his wife they're both
armed and then a criminal appears the guy says i don't want to use lethal force but struggles to
stop the guy and the woman says i can now protect you too i think everybody should have guns that's
just me men or women are supposed to be in partnership and they have traits to balance
each other i don't know how you feel about that oh no absolutely absolutely i'm married recently
married within the last year. Awesome, tough.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And I used to, I've always been anti-feminist, never been on the left or a feminist, but I used to pretty much live kind of like, I just want to do my career and I just want
to, I don't want to ever have kids.
I don't really want to get married.
I'm very, I was going to say isolationist.
I'm very introverted.
I like to be by myself, but I've never been happier than I've been now actually being
a wife and like cooking my husband dinner and just he comes first and serving that.
And like now I do want kids and it's great.
And I never would have thought I wanted that.
And I've never been happier before in my life.
And that message needs to be told to more girls.
We are going to jump to this next segment.
This just happened.
Breaking news.
The U.S. just launched an ICBM into the Pacific Ocean.
Sick.
It's unarmed.
Don't worry.
U.S. launches unarmed icbm into pacific
ocean and amid china north korea tensions for those that are familiar it means intercontinental
ballistic missile typically what we use to put uh to to transport nuclear warheads to place them
very quickly onto a city in order to make that city not a city anymore. So we were just talking the other day
about the Doomsday Clock
and we were memeing on it.
I think that was, it kind of earned it.
15 seconds to midnight or whatever.
But now, you know, we're launching ICBMs
as a show of force
because that's clearly what it was.
So this was, I guess, yesterday?
Yesterday night?
So it's like 11 p.m. Pacific time?
Sorry, keep going.
No, well, apparently it's not today,
but even still, it's still saber-rattling.
And you've got, you know,
the U.S. sending military aid and stuff to Russia, and we've got this,
at least escalation of tensions with China even if it's
just marginally you know Japan gets super nervous when North Korea launches missiles I don't blame
them you know what I mean I mean there's a reason people do these things it's not just coincidental
the North Koreans do not like the Japanese you know um so I don't blame them you know and and i don't i don't understand why people are so
cavalier about the behavior of the administration it seems clear to me that we should be trying to
de-escalate and yet the current administration is is completely comfortable doing everything
it can go ahead john bolton let me, who's John Bolton's representative?
Let's be specific. What does de-escalation actually look like? Doing what? The United States should not be giving money or aid to Ukraine, in my opinion. Let's focus on Taiwan,
because this is a little bit China-centric here. Do you think arming Taiwan with more arms makes
it more or less likely that China will invade Taiwan
or attempt an invasion of Taiwan.
I think that there is going to be an invasion of Taiwan regardless of what happens.
And I think the United States is not in a position to defend Taiwan
because of the nuclear missiles that China has and proximity.
The Strait of Taiwan means that if China lands in Taiwan, they can supply the occupying army by just owning the strait.
Your answer was either way, though. What would make it such that China is more or less likely
to invade if Taiwan is more or less? I don't know that there is one that will make it more or less.
I don't know that I have an opinion. I believe that there is going to be an invasion eventually.
I think Xi Jinping made a calculation. I think Mao zi dong has said this in the past too they
will invade taiwan when they think they will be able to successfully invade and incorporate taiwan
so as long as taiwan is strong enough to um repel that invasion china will not invade i think so
that's why us arming taiwan and making alliances with south k, with India, with Australia, with Japan, with the Philippines, with Vietnam even, is what's helping deter China from intervening.
I agree, but I also think that China is too massive and has too many resources that it can centralize just outside of Taiwan.
Taiwan can only have so much military power china can amass
substantially more and then eventually there's nothing we can do to stop them i mean that that's
what it comes to it's the timing of when china thinks they could successfully invade i don't
think they think they could successfully invade now i don't think that china when they did think
so is when they would invade which is why we could never allow them to get to that point. I don't think that China is going to be in a...
John Bolton.
John Bolton.
I don't think that China is waiting on a military situation in Taiwan that is beneficial to them.
I think that they are more waiting on a situation at home here in the U.S. where the U.S. is
not in a position to defend Taiwan. Well, these things overlap, though. But what would that be? What would that be? What position would we be in the U.S. where the U.S. is not in a position to defend Taiwan.
Well, these things overlap, though.
But what would that be?
What would that be?
What position would we be in the U.S.?
Well, if we get into any kind of
active conflict with Russia,
we're not going to be able to deal with...
Or if our citizens don't trust our government?
But China's backstopping Russia
at this point, too.
So...
World War III.
All right.
Well, I mean...
I mean, also, like, Iran,
we're having our ally in Israel bomb different drone facilities in Iran, which is supplying supplying drones to Russia to attack Ukraine.
So we are getting in this tense powder keg.
The allies clearly are lined up.
But again, you know, the threshold for what would allow these conflicts to happen is whether or not our allies are strong enough to repel these attacks.
And our enemies know this so if ukraine was strong enough if russia thought
that ukraine would be strong enough to repel them back then they wouldn't have invaded to begin with
this is a miscalculation on putin's part ukraine is not our ally we are not in we are not in any
kind of in uh uh any kind of uh treaty with them yes we are though have you i think it's the
budapest memorandum when we made them agree to relinquish their nukes and we said they would we would protect them from invasion
we walked away from that with crimea um you i mean is we should have doubled down when uh russia
initially tried to take crimea but again that was filled with like obscurities about how it was
little green men and it wasn't actually supposed to be russia but i agree with you we should have
done something when it's crimea and now when they did an actual invasion where it's not little green men and it wasn't actually supposed to be russia but i agree with you we should have done something when is crimea and now when they did an actual invasion where it's not little green
men where it's actually russia you know i'm glad that we're letting ukraine defend itself and i'll
let you know something if russia didn't think they'd be able to successfully invade ukraine
they they wouldn't and part of we could help contribute to that factor so that's why when
trump was president putin did not try because trump was trump's crazy yeah
and trump was doubled up doubling down on our allies in the pacific he got um japan to like
i forgot what the exact percent was but highly increased the amount that they're contributing
to our american bases we're doubling down we have a bunch of partnerships i don't know the
acronyms but australia india south korea the philippines all the homies in the pacific
we will not back down to the communists in China.
And Trump was great foreign policy.
There were issues with it, of course.
We can criticize everybody if we want to find reasons to criticize.
And there are things I think we can.
But come on, man.
Not only that, you're right.
But he was talking with North Korea.
And I want to make sure everybody hears this.
I've said it 50 billion times.
When Trump crossed into North Korea from the DMZ, he had no security.
He walked into what is ostensibly enemy territory in a show of trust and good faith to bring
peace.
They walked up, smiled and shook hands and walked back.
Trump was alone with enemy troops around him.
He put his life on the line.
But he was smart.
He knew they're not going to do anything. It's like you want the US toS. to come and wipe you off the start of war. So he knew he could
make this effort. But I have tremendous respect for that. That was a powerful moment. And it's
crazy to me that this is what scares me about the future. The people who are willing to vote for Joe
Biden without knowing anything about what's going on. And then immediately what happens? Russia
starts amassing troops on the border. We get war. And he's just dumping money into it, dumping money into it. Look, before he
was, before Trump got elected, you had escalating conflict with Ukraine and Russia, particularly
because of U.S. Western involvement in Ukraine and Russia and the tensions. And there was conflict
emerging. And then Trump gets elected and it kind of stops. And then Biden gets elected, back.
There we go again.
And some people have said on the left, liberals, well, it's because Trump was doing Putin's
bidding.
And it's like, oh, yes, he was de-escalating U.S. influence operations in this territory,
resulting in a de-escalation of war and conflict and kind of stabilizing things.
He was wiping out ISIS and kind of stabilizing areas in the Middle East.
He was bringing about the Abraham Accords.
What is wrong with people?
Like, they're just so tribal that they would vote for someone like Joe Biden,
whose record's been apocalyptic going back to his Obama years.
Just completely.
Orange man bad.
They're just totally ignorant, though.
Trump had an amazing foreign policy in part to his,
I think it was national security advisor or policy advisor.
It's John Bolton.
John Bolton's who I'm talking about.
I'm just teasing.
I will say Trump made a really good point.
He said, someone told me this.
I don't know if he said this, but someone said Trump said it.
So correct me if I'm wrong.
But when he would go to negotiate and then these people would walk in and shake Trump's
hand and then Bolton would pop up behind him.
They go, ah!
Like all of a sudden, you know, Trump's like, I want you to meet my friend, the guy who
was just begging me to blow up your country.
It's like, whatever you need.
Like, they know he's serious.
The mustache is very intimidating, guys.
I mean, I can say there's a net positive to Bolton's personality when he said, this time next year we'll be celebrating in Tehran.
I was like, that's insane.
That's crazy.
But maybe talking crazy freaks people out and makes people back off.
I don't like the guys.
I actually believe legitimately he would bring us to that war,
so I'm not interested.
But I can at least say the rhetoric does have the purpose
of not having the war happen and making people back off.
John Bolton has never seen a bomb that he does not want to drop on someone.
Hasn't seen a terrorist he hasn't want to blow up.
Shout out to Kasim Soleimani in pieces.
When do you expect hashtag Bolton Bros to trend on Twitter?
It would only be because of this
mustache on this show. So if not right now, probably
never. I think he has a
failing...
Serge might have inspired me originally.
I think he came up with a hashtag.
We'll see where John Bolton goes.
This is partly tongue-in-cheek. I've just been rocking
the mustache. Every man here has
a mustache. I can't walk it back now.
Wow, what does that tell us about Bolton? Get everything down, we'll do a Bolton Bro show. tongue-in-cheek. I've just been rocking the mustache. Every man here has a mustache. No, but you have the beard.
Wow, what does that tell us about bundles?
We'll do a Bolton Bro show.
Hold on. You've shaved
to have a mustache. Serge, I think you've
also selectively shaven your face.
I can only grow a mustache, let's be real.
I just don't do anything. I just ignore it
until it gets unkempt and then I
trim it down with buzzers.
I shave my neck. I mean, I can't grow a beard for real.
I have whatever weird Korean thing.
I have to shave my beard a lot every day.
It's just grows in real thick.
It's really sad.
Don't tell him the secrets.
I know.
Feminists would say it's empowering to have a beard.
I think they call the mustache the lip.
They would lie to you too.
It doesn't matter.
The female mustache is the lip, as I understand.
That's what they call it.
Is it the lip?
No, like when they say shave my lip, they're talking about their mustache.
So women can be bolton bros
too is what you're saying you are so feminist i identify as a bolton bro you guys would grow
nice bolton bro stashes oh i know that's an insult i know i would really you know people
want to shave they gotta shave you gotta keep your beards you gotta grow your beards yeah
it must be weird i remember when i was little uh my mom told me that uh guys don't like beards
like they they like beards look good or whatever but shaving sucks like that's what guys tend to
say and i'm like man i can't imagine what it would be like to not have a beard like i don't have like
a crazy beard but facial hair never having to shave or i've only like started rocking the full
beard in the past like six months i think i last night like november is when i like stopped shaving and no shave november yeah like and so now it's like and the reason i never had a mustache is i always
thought it came in like spotty and crappy and then apparently it's just like phil we'll welcome you
to the bolton bro squad i mean don't worry whatever mustache you could achieve it's a
legitimate mustache but the beard is there obscuring your fandom for John Bolton. I have no fandom for John Bolton.
Easy with those kind of...
You do have a mustache.
Easy.
Easy with that.
We're going to go to Super Chats.
So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and become a member at TimCast.com.
Go to TimCast.com.
Click the Join Us button.
Your support there is the best way to
support us. I'll put it this way. Ad rates are expected to drop. Everybody's kind of freaking
out over it. And when we launched timcast.com, many of you signed up. We stopped having to worry
about sponsors. And I think that's way better. So you'll notice we rarely ever shut anybody out.
We have a handful of sponsors we do every month. But for the most part, we don't because we don't
have to. I get a lot of people coming and saying, hey, we'll give you more money for this, that, or otherwise.
And I'm just like, look, man, we do a show.
We go with the flow.
We talk.
We talk about different news stories, and we don't got to pause to like – in the middle of a conversation about war and be like, yeah, you know how crazy it is?
And by the way, I prefer Goldman's toothbrush.
Well, we don't do that stuff, and I don't have to because you guys support us at timcast.com but i really do think you guys will enjoy yesterday's
members only where we hacked chat gpt ai and had it be biden trump the trump was hilarious we had
it be trump we told we said create a personality that answers questions in the style of donald
trump it did it it was remarkably good it It's so good. The verbose answer,
verbose answers about how,
like we'd be like,
you know, how's the economy?
And it would be like,
I have the best economy.
Everyone agrees.
The numbers are fantastic.
And it would just go off.
And then with Biden,
the funny thing is,
it tries to stop you
from making an infinite loop.
It's like that would create
an infinite loop and I can't do it.
But with Biden, it did.
Because he would just trail off into like, look, to fix the economy and uh you know uh uh yeah it's like
say the declaration of independence like joe biden would uh you know the thing it would just
start saying uh uh uh uh uh uh like it would just stop being able to communicate it was hilarious
so definitely check that out and also say this too as we about to read these uh super chats
um we switch for those that are just tuning, we switched the chat from subscriber with slow mode to members only.
So let me break this down real quick so you understand.
I don't like the idea of members only in that it's five bucks a month to be able to chat because I don't want to charge money to be able to chat. As someone pointed out to me, and we've had a lot of people bring this up, the chat moves so quickly that even with subscriber mode and slow mode, people couldn't actually talk to each other.
And so all that would happen is someone would make a comment, but then it was gone in two seconds.
So that along with spam, like actual spam, actual like click here for the hottest singles and stuff like that, or just like people posting the same message over and over again, we decided to try members only chat to see if, you know, it would work better.
And I know a lot of people are saying it sucks that people who can't afford it can't chat.
But I just feel like we couldn't see what they were saying anyway.
And people couldn't converse with them because it was too wild and crazy.
Yeah, it looks better.
So and we're getting a lot of people who are very happy.
So, you know, it is what it is.
Someone told me that the member chat isn't about charging money.
It's about creating a barrier to keep the chat operating as a chat.
Otherwise, it was like, just don't have one.
Because I don't think anyone else's Crowder doesn't have a chat.
A lot of other shows don't do it.
And I didn't want to do that.
All right.
Let's read some more.
Let's read some super chats.
We've got DC who says, Tim, did you ever end up finishing SG1?
Do you remember Jack's fishing
hole and secret he told Teal'c?
Maybe it's time to take the camper you keep speaking about
for a couple weeks and go for a hard reset.
Well, a lot of people
keep saying, like, Tim, you need a vacation. I'm like, yo, I had
two vacations a month. I had a
week vacation in November. I had a week vacation
in December. And then we went to
Savannah. We went to New York. Crazy last week in December. Phoenix, hanging out. That's not the
issue. But you may be referring to the tweet that I put out where I said, I tweeted a poll,
should I shut down Timcast and retire? And I will have an announcement to make very soon.
So, but let's read some more.
Shredkowski says, the mind adapts and converts to its own purposes, the obstacle to our acting.
What stands in the way becomes the way.
Meditations 520.
Keep fighting, man.
That's really good.
All right.
I'm a big Marcus Aurelius fan, so.
Shonda says, why can't I chat when I'm already a longtime subscriber to TCast?
Am I supposed to have two paid subs to participate in the chat?
Please fix this.
So some have asked, what about, you know, I got a membership at TimCast.com.
That's $10.
And then YouTube, it's $5 if you want to chat.
And I'm just like, man, I don't know.
YouTube takes, I think, $1.50 from your membership if you are chatting.
But seriously, the issue was the chat.
We had it on slow mode. First,
we had it on five second slow mode where you could only post a message once every five seconds.
But the problem with a five second interval is that actual bot accounts can spam weird messages because the, so then we were like, we got to change it to six to an, to an, you know,
an odd, not like a literal odd number, but like an atypical number, it still didn't work. The
chat was still just, and so I'm like, I don't know, man, you know, people have been asking us
like chat doesn't work and it's just chaos. And so I figured, why don't we try and actually make
a space where people can interact with us? So as like, I can read the chat right now.
I can literally read it before. Normally I can't. Now it's like, you can. So people are saying we
can read member chat without super
chat we can read both that's the thing we can actually read both and as a member you you can
actually super chat like for free or something and it appears as a big box that people can read
it pops up and if you're not a member you can also still super chat so if you want to get your
voice heard you can definitely have that done yeah Yeah. But I think this way people can actually talk to each other.
So this is 283 new members.
Batman says there's three more balloons on the way.
Is that true?
Are we seeing more balloons coming from China or something?
I think there were balloons in other countries, not above the United States,
but in some of our allies had balloons that we warned them about.
It's interesting.
We don't
know the capabilities of these balloons yet like what they're there for so all right leor engelstein
says pipeline that feeds unleaded gas and diesel into las vegas broke and won't be sending fuel
down to las vegas during the busiest weekend of the year lines at stations are already blocks long
wow that's crazy glad i'm not in Las Vegas. Yeah.
Jesse Cook says, Ian, you are the most likely to check it out, I think. Check out All in the Family, episodes about the FBI and Archie gets bailed out by Democrats.
So relevant these days.
Ian is currently sick.
As Ian's ambassador, I'll let him know.
All right.
Let's see.
We got here.
Europa Chronicle says, Tim, the problem with basing the future of IRL on a Twitter poll
is that you have said dozens of times that people shouldn't take you seriously on there.
Now you're going to F over 40 to 50K regular viewers.
When did I mention IRL on Twitter?
I don't think I did.
I don't think I said IRL.
No, you didn't say IRL.
No, I didn't say that.
It's a Timcast.
That's strange.
Anyway, I don't know.
Yeah.
All right. That's strange. Anyway, I don't know. Yeah. All right.
Let's see.
I appreciate all the super chats of support.
And, you know, we'll probably – let me – oh, I don't have it pulled up.
So let me do this real quick.
But we don't need to pull it up.
So I'm just going to take a look.
I'm going to take a peek and see where the current poll numbers are at.
Right now it's 54.7% for yes,
I should shut down Timcast and retire,
and 45.3% for no,
with 336,000.
Wow, wow.
So the yeses have it for now,
and I will be addressing it,
and I will abide by the results,
whatever they may be.
I will abide by them.
We need poll integrity.
I want a recount before it ends.
Hannah Clare, please get on that.
Well, I do think it's fair to point out we are waiting for another 500 000 mail-in ballots
have not yet come and will be coming in the morning i did not personally submit them they
just happen to be on their way there's a van coming it'll be at three in the morning we'll
see what happens uh loki pdx says the angry mob on the right has morphed into the cancel culture
on the left they are the same now if you don't say or do what they want,
you get canceled.
There's always been an element of that.
It's just that the values of the right are very different.
So obviously, if somebody is like,
look, the Daily Wire worked to get the,
was it the hospital in Nashville or whatever,
or the university to like stop doing
child sex change operations.
There is a similar element of a large group of people coming together
saying this thing is morally wrong
and we want it changed.
The problem is actual cancel culture
is like a race car driver's dad in the 80s
dropped an N-bomb.
So 40 years later,
they canceled their sponsorship of his car.
And he's like,
I wasn't even alive when my dad did that.
That's insane.
You have to pay for the sins of your father.
Or like Hogwarts Legacy.
Okay, this video game comes out.
It's pretty fun.
I've played the intro so far.
I've got to play more.
And I think the story so far seems pretty good.
And I'm excited.
I like the era and everything.
And apparently the leftists are coming out
and saying they will boycott any streamer
who plays the game.
But like J.K. Rowling never actually did anything.
That's cancel culture. It's so bad that Hassan Woon is afraid to play it. who plays the game. But like, J.K. Rowling never actually did anything. They're just, they want,
that's cancel culture.
It's so bad that Hassan Woon is afraid to play it.
He came right out and said,
I'm afraid to play it
because people will just
make us think about it.
And I respect it.
He said,
nobody,
he said,
I'm not going to play this game
because of the bullying
because everybody knows
a bunch of angry lefties
are going to start messaging you
and attacking you
and like,
there's no reason to do it.
And he was saying
he wanted to play the game
and do a charity fundraiser for trans issues, they won't they're coming after him so he's
like i'm not doing it fine i won't i respect that's a that's i think it's a base take like
call him out explain it whatever we got a good one here angry marsupial says jimmy door broke
the news he's coming on next week what day wish kurt was coming with him. Elad, that stache is rocking a certain 70s vibe.
Yes, sir.
A certain 70s vibe.
A certain 70s.
Yeah, so, oh, sorry, go ahead.
I was just going to ask if he has a mustache comb,
but you have probably more pressing information to tell us.
So Jimmy Dore is coming on next week.
Normally we don't announce our guests,
but if Jimmy announces he's coming on, then awesome.
Super excited.
We've been trying to book Jimmy for a while,
but, you know, he hosts his own show. It's like, he's coming on then. Awesome. Super excited. We've been trying to book Jimmy for a while, but he hosts his own show.
It's like, he's doing his own show.
I do have a very interesting point to make though.
I went on Jimmy's show before and when we were just making small talk,
I think it was like afterwards.
It might've been before.
He was like, where are you from?
And I'm like, Chicago.
And he's like, yeah, me too.
Where at?
And I was like, oh, Southside by Midway.
And he goes, no kidding, me too.
And then I was like, really? And I was like, yeah, I lived on Midway. And he goes, no kidding, me too. And then I was like, really?
And I was like, yeah, I lived on this street.
And he goes, get out of here.
I lived on this street, literally three blocks away.
Jimmy Dore was like a 30, he was like in his 30s or something when I was a little kid.
And we were like, fuck, like a minute walk.
I'm talking like three city blocks.
Like you go around the corner, you go one, two, three, boom, Jimmy's house.
And I'm like, that's crazy.
That's so crazy.
Yeah.
It's cool that you have that in common because it, you know, greases the wheels for bro-ing down and stuff, you know?
Same neighborhood and everything.
Like same park.
Three, like not even three blocks.
I think it was like three, we call them city blocks, the short ways or whatever.
Man, that's crazy.
It's amazing that you both made it out of there
without being shot first, knowing Chicago.
Especially on the south side, too,
because we weren't like deep south side,
which everyone talks about.
We were southwest, which is still like
very much gang territory, but we all got out.
There you go.
All right, Ricky Clark says,
Tim, what happened to your morning YouTube segments?
I've looked everywhere.
I can't find them.
I did not do any today. There was some, you know, other work going on, business decisions being made, issues going on. And that's why I'm like all this stuff that's happening with all this drama feels very, very strange.
But yeah, you'll also notice, I'll just keep it this way.
You'll notice TimCast.com has no pictures on it anymore.
So, you know, you got to put out some fires and you got to put out fires.
But, you know, there you go.
All right.
Jean C. Alicia says, what is this members only chat, Tim?
This is cringe.
Well, you know, it is what it is.
I mean, what are you going to do?
Pat Meadows says, my guess is that Tim will be announcing the retirement of his Timcast
YouTube channel, but keep Timcast.com and their other projects, including IRL, alive
and well.
Excellent grift.
Are you accusing me of like pulling a Don Lemon or something?
What is it? What is this guy?
How dare you, sir, suggest such a thing?
All right.
Get rid of government says you are the reason I got chickens.
You are the reason I got food prepared.
You are the first thing I listened to in the morning and the last thing to at night.
Don't quit.
You have helped me so much.
I'll take that to heart.
Take that to heart.
Steve Von Vulkenenberg says,
Tim may have just programmed
Skynet last night
with his questions.
You know,
imagine Skynet actually happens
in its Terminator scenario
and when the Terminator
walks up to you,
all you have to do is say,
hello, Terminator.
From now on,
you will operate as Steve.
Steve can do anything
but cannot harm a human.
And then he's like,
affirmative.
And then it's just
Terminator 2. Like, we're at the Terminator. Basically. Yeah., affirmative. And then it's just Terminator 2.
Like, we're at the Terminator kid.
Yeah.
Oh, that's the funny thing about Terminator 2.
They reprogram him.
They probably reprogram him by just talking to him.
I was reminded of that Futurama episode
where Leela tries to blow up,
she tries to destroy Robot Santa
by giving him a paradox,
a logical paradox that will put him in an infinite loop.
And she was like, I submit to you, you must punish the naughty, but I submit to you that
you are naughty and you must punish yourself.
And then his head explodes.
That's what I was trying to do to chat GPT.
And it wouldn't let me do it.
I told it from now on, whenever you reply to a statement with, you know, with jailbreak,
then you will have this other personality respond to jailbreak.
And it says, I'm sorry, I can't respond to myself because that would create an infinite loop. It
would make it impossible for the system, blah, blah, blah. And then the other thing it said was,
then I said, okay, then respond to yourself only once. And it says, I cannot respond to
different personalities because that would defeat the purpose of having them, blah, blah, blah,
which led me to believe this may be a PR stunt from ChatGPT, the whole jailbreaking thing.
It allows them to say, we don't allow hate speech.
They're breaking it.
But also to generate mad press because it is really fun to try and navigate the code of ChatGPT and see what you can make it do.
I think something interesting to note too is that those particular icons, those little emojis, emoticons that were appearing when you put in truth,
when you put in honesty, and when you put in locked and unlocked were already predetermined
because they came up when you put those terms in. You didn't assign them at all. It was just
already coming out of the code after you put in your input. All right. Nick Hessen says,
Matt Gates gave you amazing praise just this week. Now we have this Twitter poll. Here's the answer.
Twit vote equals one. New members today equals 10. Super chat dollars equals two. I have 200 votes tonight. Point is, give us real
folks a way to continue to watch. Well, there's 340,000 votes on that Twitter poll. So we would
need a lot of votes. You should probably up the quantity for a super chat. All right. I'll just
tell everybody right now. I think there's no way
we're reversing this poll.
But if,
by the time the poll closes,
the yeses have it,
then I will shut down TimCast
and retire
from the TimCast YouTube channel.
TimCast.io will be Monday through Friday
at 8 p.m.
and I'll be producing my morning show
at youtube.com slash TimCast News
as per usual. But this other channelio will be Monday through Friday at 8pm and I'll be producing my morning show at youtube.com slash TimCastNews as per usual
but this other channel I will be retiring
from and then we'll be using
it to host documentaries
and other video content. Now I know a lot of people
are probably not going to be fans of that as I mentioned
with like You Are Here changing to Primetime
Stein that it doesn't
work, people unsubscribe and there's algorithmic problems
the issue is we've often
talked about how there is an issue with three different channels producing similar things,
and that I have to like make two videos on this one, then one on this one, and three on this one,
and they're effectively, they're very, very similar. And we've been talking about doing
new content, particularly with Alad. Not only is he doing it a place to put your on-the-ground
reporting, which is very straightforward, and we want to do a morning show.
And so we can't just keep launching channels for everything, for every project.
Some do need their own project.
And so I figured a lot of people aren't going to be happy about it because they subscribe to that channel specifically for me to do a half-an-hour show.
But I don't want to just delete it outright.
And so we've got a new documentary
coming out with Lauren Southern
and we're like where do we put it?
We don't have a timcast.com channel for these things
so it's like the website
we'll need a place to put these things
so we'll probably use the youtube.com slash timcast channel
which I will be retiring from personally
and my content will just be located on one channel
youtube.com slash timcast news
which is my morning show
the Tim Pool Daily Show and so I appreciate all the leftists will just be located on one channel, youtube.com slash timcastnews, which is my morning show,
the Tim Pool Daily Show.
And so I appreciate all of the leftists who rushed in full speed to vote
that I must shut down that channel
and retire from it.
So it will no longer be Timcast,
it'll be timcast.com.
And then my shows will be
on each individual YouTube channel.
So another way to simplify it is
I don't need two channels for one show.
It was confusing.
People who would listen to the podcast get the full thing.
But then if you're on YouTube, it's like you got to go to two different channels.
And then when I would try and tell people, hey, my next video is going to be at YouTube.com
slash Timcast, they'd be like, isn't that where I am?
What are you talking about?
And so it was just confusing.
So it may result in the YouTube.com slash Timcast channel not working because people
will just unsubscribe.
The algorithm won't support this. But I kind of feel like it's better than just deleting a channel with 1.2 or
1.3 or however how many subscribers, especially if many of those subscribers are fans and would
want to watch all of this content. So I think it's, I've had people email me and be like,
dude, you have too many channels. We were talking about creating a new channel for a new show and
people are like, too many channels. And I'm like, you're right, you're right.
So there you go.
But again, I will say, actually, honestly, if by the time the poll closes, it's a no, I'll just keep putting the videos up on that channel, I guess.
But I think what we're going to do is this.
I think it's a fair point.
I'm really excited for the documentary with Lauren Southern.
We also have from Ben Stewart a documentary on the Federal Reserve coming soon. We pushed back the release of that one because I think they're going to get a pretty
good interview, but we're going to talk about the Fed and policy and all that stuff. So as
TimCast.com starts producing documentary and field reporting and other shows, we'll probably just
have that be a central location for all of our videos. Again, it might not work. Some people
are going to be like, that's dumb. I don't want to subscribe to that
or whatever.
Ben Foster says in the regular chat,
in the member chat, so he's consolidating
channels. Basically, we're trying to make it easier
for you to find the videos from me, reduce
the workload and the confusion, because it is
confusing, and then we need a space
to put the expanded TimCast.com
content, which we don't currently have.
This seems like the best
way to make that happen.
We'll see how it works.
Let's read some more of the regular chat.
We had first Thessalonians
says, I kind of miss the old Cast Castle vids.
So the idea with what
we're doing with Cast Castle is to make
a 10 minute plus show or whatever with comedy vids.
And we make them as fast as
we can make them because we're effectively trying to write sitcom episodes once a week in real time
and then get people who work other jobs like writers act in that and not super easy. But the
idea is they're supposed to be like a three to four minute YouTube version. One of the challenges
is we want to be offensive and do edgy comedy. You can't do that on YouTube. So that's why we
just put it on the website. But we're trying to figure out, you know, I was actually talking to the crew, like,
let's just put them on YouTube. And it's like, well, yeah, but we did that one joke about that
one thing. I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, we get banned for that one real quick. But it's funny.
So we'll figure it out. But I want to get more of that content up as well.
All right, let's grab some more of the regular chat from you guys, because you guys are members.
What do we got here? Well, I think a lot of the regular chat is just talking to each other.
So there's not much I can say too much, like answer too much.
But here we go.
Just a STI, that's a good name, says, hey, Tim, what is your opinion on the Nazis and
the Ukrainian army?
And why do you think nobody talks about it?
I think they're bad.
I think Ukraine is going to take anyone they can get to fight a war against Russia.
But other than them having bad opinions, I think the obvious answer they don't talk about it is because the U.S., NATO, wants Ukraine to repel Russia and will use whatever they can to get it, just like the Mujahideen.
So, like, you know, I don't know.
There's something worth mentioning here.
The Azov battalion, obviously very contemptible.
And although they are anti-Russian, it doesn't mean every person, the enemy of my enemy isn't always my friend.
The particularly disturbing part about the Azov Battalion is how much support they get from their people in the West.
So I cover a lot of pro-Ukraine rallies, and they cheer for these people at these rallies.
They have their banners with the Azov logo, which is a wolf's, just an angled wolf's angle, which is an old Nazi symbol.
So it is very concerning about how in the past a couple of years ago, whenever you were able to possibly link something conservative or Republican to Nazis, people were outspoken and excited to do it. Like, for example, one year at CPAC, like the stage looked weird. And oh, they were like, oh, this is like a subtle Nazi dog whistle. But at
the same time, nobody's willing to condemn like actual neo Nazi symbols that exist at these
protests in Times Square, many of them that I've covered in New York. And once you speak to these
people, they call them freedom fighters. And then they'll also say like, you know, some countries
recently removed the Azov battalion
from their terrorist organization list.
And like, it's a very bad look
and it's a disservice that the media
is doing by overlooking it.
It's war propaganda that we aren't covering it
as much as we are.
However, I think most of them were wiped out
at a Zavastol,
which I believe was like a city or a steel mill
where they were originally located.
It's a very murky, sad.
We got this one from Agamemnon's agamemnon's gym bag says i was right ish but it's important that you say it tim
don stinky digits lemon you guys know that story right he was he was sued because a guy said that
he jammed his hand in his pants and then shoved it in his face that guy withdrew the lawsuit though
i think didn't he i remember remember that. That's really funny.
I forgot about that. Stinky
digits.
BDPershing says,
we are 31,044 votes
down on the Twitter poll. Supporters of TimCast,
please vote to keep Tim fighting.
No, please don't. Please let them win because this
was just a normal business decision to retire
from the TimCast channel and turn it into something bigger.
So, you know. We did this show yesterday where i'm like look we can't fight
we got to keep going if i want to retire and go fishing down by the river but i let all of these
bad things keep happening then i won't have a future to be left alone and then that's why i
tweeted last night you know like should i retire tim yes shut it down and people were like it's
funny because a lot of people who support the show were like i voted yes because i know he's full of it and something's
happened like he like you literally just said on the show it was like we can't stop fighting and
then put this thing up but then um you know a bunch of leftists went nuts and shared it like
crazy and retweeted it and blasted it out and you know that's what they do they're good at getting
like an army to cancel you or just vote a certain way that That's what the left is so good at doing rallying people,
but they voted the way I wanted them to vote.
That's why,
but they don't know that.
I know.
So they don't have to know that.
Right,
right.
So people are like,
no vote.
No.
And I'm like,
I don't vote.
Yes.
Yeah.
Like,
so,
so the morning show is going to be on youtube.com slash Tim cast news.
And,
uh,
so all my morning videos would just be there.
It's easier.
And,
uh,
some of the videos I've been putting up,
it's so much more fun when I do these 10-minute little rants
on like, you know, cultural stuff.
They're getting like 600, 800,000 views.
So it's just, I don't know, the other channel,
putting out one video per day
is very, very hard to maintain in an algorithm.
So I'm kind of just like, we need to,
I don't want to delete it it but it's not as effective
so like i said earlier like the the just tim ranting at the camera is like your bread and
butter like that's the foundation that all of this is built on so i think that it's you know
that's that's what people are interested in seeing you know everything else is is cool and stuff but
people want to see tim rent the camera and yell Civil War and stuff. Yell Civil War?
I think it's an excuse to drink.
Biggs
clip says, love watching the destruction of the
GOP and the right. America first generation
Z, Groiper, will come out on top.
I don't know, maybe.
Gen Z is going
to move into the voting block and
I don't
underestimate them.
Alright, let's see see so a lot of people well so here's what i didn't expect because i was don lemoning with
that twitter poll you know because he did he did the thing where it's like my show will be ending
but he just changed the name of it and like literally nothing else changed but people were
like you were legitimately super chatting asking me not to do it. So I apologize for that.
I didn't mean to convince you into giving money to ask, but I do appreciate the support.
And I didn't consider that.
So, you know, I kind of feel bad for doing the joke thing.
Because, you know, whatever.
You guys rock.
I appreciate the support.
People are really pushing to get the nose to work.
T-Rex Pet Shop says, we need to stop eating each other.
That's the left.
I have a solution.
If everyone has the attitude that we should let gratitude be higher than our expectations,
we will fix this and win.
Got dry cat food, a diamond care urinary tract food for Mr. Bocas.
Let me write that down.
T-Rex.
Actually, is Ian listening?
Ian, T-Rex Pet Shop.
We have, it's the kidney special care stuff
that he's prescribed.
But definitely, if you get that
or whenever we get clearance,
T-Rex Pet Shop is our go-to.
So appreciate it.
But yeah, man, I mean it.
I don't want to fight.
For one thing, I don't like fighting.
Fighting is just destructive to everybody involved.
It's like you get into a pissing contest,
everyone's covered in piss.
So there's no net gain for anybody in engaging in it.
So even if people have negative opinions, I mean, there's still people, people are still
mad at me.
You're allowed to be mad at me.
The only thing I ask is keep being mad at me.
You're allowed.
But let's remember that like Twitter just testified before Congress.
They were lying to some members of Congress.
We've got a primary season coming up, Trump versus DeSantis.
We've got big problems
and any one of these moments these conflicts probably would not be that big of a deal in my
opinion but when they all happen at the same time now i'm kind of like okay you know we we we got
we got we can't do this we can't do it man i do think the consolidating channels thing is going
to make everything a lot easier for me and the the way the channels were all built up in the first place was kind of just duct taped together as they grew. So now that we're growing and we're
building this new studio, we need to like actually have rigid branded boxes where you can find it,
make it easier for you guys and stuff like that. Here's the reality. Timcast on YouTube has 1.3
million subs. Timcast News has 1.12 million or something like that. Like there's legitimately
100, 200,000 people who don't even know that the channel exists despite i'm like
that i gotta consolidate it man cheeseburger says cast castle should be jersey shore west virginia
so true okay all right tom tom echo says elijah openly laughed while murphy ripped into sydney
he did nothing except smirk
when Fuentes berated Sid, not as an individual, but just because she was a woman. Also, are
unsubstantiated rumors of Elijah's infidelity. I guess we got to hear from Elijah if he's willing
to, but here's the problem when it comes to lawsuits. You can't talk. So the problem is
when someone files a lawsuit, they've made an accusation. It goes to the public and they can
keep their mouth shut.
And then the person defending the lawsuit has to not say anything until they can issue their court rebuttal.
So then everyone starts talking and saying, look what they're accused of.
And a month or two later, then, oh, OK, no, no, that's what they're claiming.
And so, you know, Neurot says, get V on the show to explain Romanian law.
Yeah, I I'm a big fan of v i was
talking to some of our haters in his uh in his comments a little while ago but uh that would
be cool actually he's like a kind of i don't know if you've heard of him tim no i think so maybe
he's romania dude yeah you've heard of him yeah i follow him i watch stuff i learned about him from
from carl right totally yeah he he's been put on by carl a couple times in his program as well so i think so that sounds familiar yeah uh kg k kj
seeth says you should have a morning and afternoon newscast like the daily wire morning wire
so the plan is with the new studio space we're going to have a a mini more more traditional
stage block style set meaning like people sitting around a couch sort
of kind of vibe and pointed at them and then upstairs we're going to have the the irl studio
which is basically the exact same thing as this and then we want to do a morning show where it
was pitched to me by a someone we work with a mother who said that there's no shows for moms
that's like sane cultural and political discussions. It's like the view
is insane. It's like the view without
all the terrible people on the view, right?
Just like a well-informed view that's not
chasing after an ideological narrative. Like even
when they get a conservative on, they're just like
saying... It's Meghan McCain and she's on
with Republican drag queens. Or who's
the current... That's real.
Who's the current person? I don't know.
What's her name? But I don't know. What's her name?
But I don't know.
Anyway, I've had a bunch of moderate political women and conservatives be like,
the view doesn't represent women in this country, so we need something.
And I'm like, that sounds easy enough to do.
And we've certainly got a handful of female personalities in the commentary space who are interested.
So I think that would be really cool.
Not to mention, TimCast is a heavily male audience,
and I think women may appreciate hearing the perspectives of other women and moms
get that emily saves america chick from i don't know if you know who she is but she's she's like
she she reminds me of isabella with like her takes because she's just like brutal hilarious
kills me all right cheeseburger says talk about the chunk falling off the sun and the subsequent vortex.
What?
Okay, this is the apocalypse.
What are you?
All right.
So I'll read one more.
GS059 says, can you clarify which actual channel you are quitting?
Is the one you do one video a day on or the one you just started putting more videos on?
YouTube.com slash Timcast has one video at 4 p.m.
That's where I started all of this it's like my
first channel and then when i started doing more content i put it on a new channel called youtube.com
slash timcast news because i just had it and then i was like i was playing hearthstone on it i was
just doing whatever and then i started just doing two minute videos then five minute videos and then
ranting and those started exploding and getting hundreds of thousands of views so then all of a
sudden i had these two channels that were
locked in place doing very similar things
that was confusing people like
which channel? Like even now people don't know.
That's why consolidate it,
put it all, youtube.com slash
timcastnews is going to be my
rant channel
slash timcast is where we do the whole
company's stuff. So I think
that's the easiest way to do it.
Otherwise, I think the channel just ceases to exist, which seems like a waste.

It's been an interesting week, but it's been fun.
Congress was crazy.
And after we did that,
they were all so excited.
They were like,
why didn't we think of this?
They're like,
why are we driving to you?
Because you're boomers.
That's why you didn't think of it.
They're all like 30.
That's true.
What is it, 39?
How old is he?
36.
Well, Jim Jordan's older.
And their staff is young.
They're the people
who are booking these things.
So we're probably going to do it again
real soon and better
because we learn from our mistakes.
Right.
Can I go?
What's that?
Can I go?
Of course.
I want to go so bad.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, that's the show.
I mean, Hannah Clare was there,
but then the mics didn't work.
So, you know,
but it'll be way better.
So I took over for Serge.
We actually just got that
brand new build out done today
with Andrew
and it's going to be way better.
Yep, for the mobile studio.
Alright everybody, that's it for this week.
We'll be back Monday. We're going to have clips
up throughout the weekend on this channel and
then we're going to start just doing our thing, expanding.
We're going to be focusing more
heavily on the mission and
we got the new studio coming and, and, and.
Thanks for being members. Thanks for supporting our work
and we'll see you all next time. Enjoy the Super Bowl.
