Alex Jones WINS, Judge BLOCKS Sale Of Infowars To The Onion, CNN FIRES Host, WE'RE WINNING (FOR NOW)
02:00:13 Share

Ladies and gentlemen, it's a great day for independent media. Alex Jones wins. A judge has blocked the onions purchase of InfoWars, basically saying you broke the rules. You can't do this. So for those that don't know the story,

Alex Jones's InfoWars was to be put up for auction, only it wasn't really an auction. It seems like, according to news reports, that the family of the Sandy Hook victims had a deal made with The Onion where The Onion, and this is the weirdest thing. Okay, let me slow down. Here's how it's supposed to work. Alex Jones gets sued, loses, whatever. It's an old story. It's complicated. Fine. He's got to pay a massive debt of like, I don't know, $1.4 billion, some ridiculous amount.

So they're going to liquidate his assets. They say, we'll do an auction. Here's how bankruptcy auctions are supposed to work. Everybody gets to bid. One guy says, I'll give him five. I'll give him 10. I'll give him 20. I'll give him 30. Whoever has the highest amount wins. Only at the last minute, it was reported. I should say it was reported that at the last minute, the individual that was running this auction decided, you know what? We're going to do single bids only.

submit how much you're willing to pay for this in private, and then we're going to decide who we think should win. And apparently there was one company associated with Alex Jones that offered, you know, like three and a half million dollars or whatever. But they say, ah, but the onion offered for something. As it turns out, the reason why it's being blocked is because the onion said, we'll give you all of this money and we'll pay you the money from what we're buying. And it's like, wait, wait, wait, hold on. You're saying,

We're going to give $4 million for Infowars and that $4 million is going to come from the sale of the things we are acquiring at Infowars. That is to say, I'll give you nothing. I'll take it for free, sell everything and then give you the money.

That's not how auctions work. And I know I'm not nailing it perfectly, but it's the general idea. So Alex Jones comes out and says, they're not going to allow this to happen. The Onion is making this joke. They're gloating, saying, ha-ha, we got InfoWars. But it didn't happen. Not that I think it really matters, okay? Guys, I love the media inside baseball stuff because I run a media company. That's right. Chief Executive Officer Tim Pool can tell you all about how the media works. You cannot stop Alex Jones. It is impossible.

You can annoy him and you can lower his standard of living, but this dude's going to be rich for the rest of his life. Nothing will ever change that. He already launched the Alex Jones Network. There's nothing you can do about it. And so this is really just PR nonsense. But fine, if we win the PR battle, we win the PR battle.

There is other news, too. I mean, everyone's talking about Brett Cooper or the Daily Wire quitting. And I'll save that for another segment. But I really, really do enjoy talking the inside media baseball. So there's a lot to talk about as it pertains to Alex Jones, first and foremost. We did a lot of other news today to get to CNN reports.

The bankruptcy judge has blocked the onions winning bid for Alex Jones's info or conspiracy platform, citing concern with the auction process, which he says left money on the table. Oh, interesting. See, the judge is correct. You, if you do an auction where you're like, everybody gets one bid in private, then you're not going to get the maximum value. I got it. I got to be honest. When I heard the winning bid was like $3 million or 1.75 million, it was 1.75. Are you kidding me? I'm going to buy info wars. Look,

In a guy who owns a local auto dealership could afford to buy InfoWars if this is the number they're putting it. No disrespect to Alex Jones. So let's read more. Quote, I'm going to not approve the sale to the purchaser. I think there's a great lack of clarity here. Judge Christopher Lopez, a bankruptcy judge for the Southern District of Texas, said during a ruling on Tuesday. Lopez said the process, while well intended, simply did not maximize value in any way based upon the record before me.

Last month, a court appointed trustee said the satirical news site won the auction to acquire InfoWars parent company Free Speech Systems, which was sold off as part of a defamation settlement after Jones falsely called the Sandy Hook Elementary School Massacre a hoax. I would also add many, many, many other people did do that, too. It was wrong to have done it, but it's pretty wild that they're just nuking Alex Jones over it. We get it. It's political.

The Onion's bid was backed by the families of eight victims of the school shooting and one first responder. According to court documents, the Onion via its parent company, Global Tetrahedron, offered $1.75 million in cash, along with a credit from the Connecticut families who offered to forego 100% of their portion of the winning bid to support the effort, valuing the bid at $7 million. You see, they basically said, this is so weird. That's why it got shut down.

We're going to give $1.75 million for this company. We're not going to bid any further. And we're going to use the debt the company has to them as cash. That makes no sense. 100% to forego 100% of the portion of the winning bid. How does that get you to $1.75 million? Hold on. If you offer $1.75 million and they're going to forego 100%, the best case you have is to double that.

To say it's going to be 3.5, that makes no sense.

The one other competing bid at 3.5 in cash came from First American United Companies, which is affiliated with Jones and operates as lucrative online nutritional supplement store. But Lopez said he took issue with the auction process. The court appointed trustee in the case who had wide discretion to handle the auction and chose the winner based on his own judgment and initially said there would be a live auction in which anybody could offer more money.

But that process was then changed to sealed best and final bids. After the onion was declared the winner, Jones and First United American Company sued to stop what they called a Frankenstein bid because the credit pledged by the families and other complaints about the auction process. A two day hearing took place with witnesses called to discuss the auction process and the bids involved. The testimony stretched late into the evening on Tuesday when Lopez ruled at nearly 1030 p.m. Central Time.

Well, Lopez said he had no problem with the makeup of the onions bid and that everyone acted in good faith. He believed the trustee left a lot of money on the table or potential for a lot of money on the table, potential for a lot of negotiation on the table because of the auction process and because other bidders did not know about the competing bids. Lopez said the trustee should scratch and claw for every last dollar. Yes, make it a live auction. Then the onion's going to say 1.75 plus the families offer debt.

And then someone's going to go, I offer two. OK, what? How are the families offering their personal debt in separate stakes? It makes literally no sense. Jones was previously ordered to pay nearly 1.5 billion to the families of Sandy Hook. And the funny thing is they actually requested the GDP of France. I am not joking.

They wanted the GDP of France from Alex Jones. Again, not a joke. Not like literally taking it from France. They wanted the equivalent of the gross domestic product of the entire nation of France. 1.5 billion may as well. This reminds me of Austin Powers when he's like he goes to the he goes back in time and part two and he's like 100 billion dollars. And I start laughing being like, what? That money doesn't exist.

That's basically what it feels like. You're not going to get $1.5 billion from Alex Jones. It's so dumb. I hope, and we'll see, I hope Harmeet Dhillon

has, she's going to be a council specializing, I think she'll be working for the DOJ in civil rights. I hope she goes after this process and this court hearing. And I hope they can delay this until January when, or whenever she does get in. But I don't know that any of that stuff would happen. I feel like that's very pie in the sky. I don't know that anyone's going to prioritize anything for Alex Jones. And I hope they would. I wish they would.

They're going to say he has dragged his feet on paying any of that judgment. Even as court records show, he continued to spend tens of thousands of dollars a month. He's certainly entitled to spend his money. This is the funny thing about bankruptcy. You guys, they're not going to get money from this dude. OK, they're going to things like this will happen. But when it comes to debts, you have a triage of debts to be paid. OK, so Alex Jones is going to pay other debtors first creditors. I don't know whichever one he's not getting credit from them, but he owes them money. And so

If if you end up owing someone money and they demand it from you, but you have other people in line, it's triage. Let's put it this way. Let's say you get sued by three companies. Who gets the money? Yeah, it's going to come first. Come for serve. They say everything from the platform studio equipment, online dietary supplement store, a Terradine armored truck. Wow. It's social media accounts and even a Winnebago motorhome was up for sale to the highest bidder.

Jones had used Infowars to spread some of the most disturbing and disgusting lies and conspiracy theories into public discourse. And he enriched himself with millions of dollars in the process, profiting off of a commerce engine he built off of the fear that he peddled on his platform. Ben Collins, the CEO of The Onion, which is just so perfect, by the way, because he used to work for NBC News and he literally just made things up all the time. So it's no wonder The Onion hired him. But he's not funny. So whatever.

He's in a statement that they are deeply disappointed. So let me actually just pull up the statement. I think I have the statement right here from old fake news, Ben. They call him fake news. He makes it up. He's a statement from The Onion about Infowars. We are deeply disappointed in today's decision, but The Onion will continue to seek a resolution that helps the Sandy Hook families receive a positive outcome for the horror they endured.

Hey, he's lying. A positive outcome. What does that mean? If the San Diego family is actually wanted to get paid, then they would let the highest bidder purchase InfoWars and they would take the money. So what they're offering up is forgiving debt in exchange for the onion buying the platform. I don't think that's good faith at all. I think that's weird backroom dealing. They're not getting any money. They're forgiving debt for a political action. This is ridiculous. I disagree.

He says, we will also continue to seek a path towards purchasing InfoWars in the coming weeks. It is part of our larger mission to make a better, funnier internet, regardless of the outcome of the case. We appreciate that the court repeatedly recognized The Onion acted in good faith, but are disappointed that everyone was sent back to the drawing board with no winner and no clear path forward for any bidder.

And for all those as upset about this as we are, please know we will continue to seek moments of hope. We are undeterred in our mission to make a funnier world. You know, now that this is happening, I'm kind of feeling like maybe I should get in on that bidding process. Although I really am not sure that with a real bidding process, Timcast could compete. I got to tell you, if it's three, what are they saying? 3.5 million? That's competitive. We could get up in that.

I don't know if I want to own InfoWars, though, to be completely honest. Because it's a question of, like, what do you do once you have it? And a lot of people have said buy it and then hire Alex Jones to run it. And I'm like...

That's a good idea, too. It'll make a lot of money. You know what I mean? But I think what's going to end up happening with the new bids, with the new bids, you're going to get the Onion offering more money. They're going to figure out some way to raise the stakes. But I got to tell you, Onion doesn't have the money to compete. They do not. When I saw the Onion won, I immediately was I didn't believe it because I'm like, they don't have the money to compete with this.

I know what their ratings are. I know their general estimated revenue. They may have investment revenue. I shouldn't say revenue, but investment resources.

I don't know how they pay that. Now, you take a look at Tim guest and I gave you the numbers, all of it yesterday. I can tell you all about our metrics, our numbers, and then you can surmise how much money we're making, though. We don't really give out too much information on memberships. You can probably discern that based on our discord server and all that stuff. So we could easily afford to put in a competitive bid. It would just strain us to an extreme degree. And I don't know that we actually end up winning and all we end up end up made all that end up half all that we may end up doing.

is driving up the price for someone who actually seriously wants to buy and run it. They're going to say, we'll scroll down here, pay his debt. It's not clear what happens next for InfoWars. Lopez ordered the court appointed trustee to go back to work on what he wants to do next, although he doesn't think it makes sense to open it up again for another auction. I'm going to have to get a lot more comfortable before folks start spending a bunch of money. And we have another two day hearing questioning business judgment, he said. Crime war,

No matter the outcome of the sale, Jones still owes more than a billion dollars to the families, although he has appealed the ruling. On his show on Tuesday evening, Jones celebrated the decision, saying, we can celebrate the judge doing the right thing with the most ridiculous fraudulent auction in human history. Well, we'll see, my friends, but I got to tell you,

It ain't all just about Alex Jones. I want to throw in a little bit here to mix it up and celebrate. This is the end of the corporate press. Alison Kemmer wrote a new day start to exit CNN. She got fired, probably.

Vox terminated their agreement with Taylor Lorenz. We are standing before us in a new era. The corporate press is crumbling. The woke reporters are losing. And The Onion, you're not funny. And, you know, it must be really, really embarrassing for someone like Ben Collins and a lot of these liberals to wake up and realize y'all are on the wrong side of history because these people care the most about it. See,

You know, maybe they're going to make some ideological claim where they say, no, no, just because everybody's wrong doesn't mean we change our minds. And I respect that. I do. But you're wrong. My view is, look, I know Joe Biden beat Trump, but Trump in 2020.

He got more votes than any sitting president. We could see that it was not about giving up. It was not that we were on the wrong side of history or anything. It's actually we're winning. When Trump won in 2016, I didn't support him. By 2020, I did. In 2016, Trump did not get the popular vote and won with was a 62 million votes. By 2020, he jumped another 12 million votes, showing a massive swing in Trump's direction. But there are procedural questions. This leaves up to it's questionable.

As to what is the right side, the battle must ensue. Well, it came to its resolution with the reelection of Donald Trump and a massive and overwhelming victory for the Republicans. Donald Trump and a crushing defeat for Biden and Kamala Harris in indicating that the onion tries, you might you got your market share. I get it. But you're on the wrong side of history. And so for me, I'm feeling pretty good for the folks over at the onion. It must be embarrassing to try and pander to the wrong side of history.

That is these liberals celebrating the corporate press and their narrative machine garbage and The Onion, which hasn't been funny in decades. They did it. They had to. The Onion said two funny articles, two in the past, like 10 years. I'm not kidding. The first one was.

What was it? It was let me let me pull it up for you because they deserve credit. Biden aged the onion. That one's really good. Stress of presidency already ages Biden 10 years. And this one actually was really good. And it shows a mummified corpse. Bravo, the onion. This is from November 7th, 2020. And then the other one was Andrew Yang time travel. That one was pretty good, too. This one was from 2019.

Naked Andrew Yang emerges from time vortex to warn debate audience about looming threat of automation. That was a good one, especially back then because Andrew Yang was like automation is really, really bad. And and so they're like he comes from the future. And Yang's funny disappointment in the long run. But hey, look, guys.

Y'all can cry and whinge about it, but the onion's not funny. I mean, let's just go to the front page of the onion right now. Like, is anything going to be funny on it? Emotional Nation gathers outside Main Street TV store to watch monster truck land on smaller truck. What? Okay, I guess. What's the joke? Holding their loved ones close in astonishment, they wait as history-making broadcast. I don't. Okay. Sure. Pompous geese fly in cursive V formation. Okay. Okay.

Well, all right. I guess. Whatever. Here's Biden hanging from a cliff. Biden addresses nation while hanging from branch on side of cliff. Oh, OK. I got to be honest. I don't understand what they're trying to say. Maybe it's meant to be for the lowest common denominator. Whatever. OK. Twelve year old spends entire hiking trip fantasizing about which video game he'll play when he gets home. Yeah.

Okay. Glowing, pulsating hair product takes control of Gavin Newsom's thoughts. All right. You know, chuckle out of that one, I guess. His nose is bleeding. I'll give him that one a little bit. Oh, this is from January of this year. Wow. That's an old one. All right. I'm going to pull up Babylon Bee. Not that I think that everything that Babylon Bee does is going to make me laugh. Don't get me wrong. But let's see what they've got. Let's see what Babylon Bee's got.

Oh, they got a January 6th. Trump tells Trudeau he won't annex Canada if they just if they admit their bacon is just ham. That's pretty good. You know, I'm not laughing at my hardest, but ha ha. Right. We're doing great. Aren't we, Mr. Friskers? Mutters masked Taylor Renz petting antique taxidermied cat. OK, that's pretty good. So, you know, look, I know the left. You just buy it. She's like the Babylon Beat. Oh, come on. Taylor Lorenz is nuts and she's a cat lady.

Michael Bay hired to direct a megachurch Christmas service. I get the joke on that one, though. Man struggling to understand how God could let good things happen to bad people like him. Yeah, I do get it, but I'm not really laughing that hard. It's simple. Babylon B has a lot of bangers. They get a lot of good ones. But here we go, baby. Cable TV news is done. Alex Jones wins. We'll see where this goes. The battle is not over. The war is not over. The battle is certainly currently in Alex Jones' favor.

Slate says Comcast $7 billion spend of its cable TV property signals the accelerating decline of traditional television and a brutal reckoning for the media industry in the new Trump era. On Tuesday, the notorious telecommunications firm Comcast confirmed that it would follow through on a dramatic proposal it made to investors last month to officially sell off almost all of its cable TV properties in a $7 billion deal.

The purge will affect a large chunk of Comcast's overall media portfolio, keeping only the core of NBCUniversal's brand, home to NBC, Peacock, Telemundo, and Universal, and the reality TV empire Bravo. Meanwhile, over the course of a year, CNBC, E! Fandango, The Golf Channel, MSNBC, Oxygen, Rotten Tomatoes, SyFy, and the USA will all be severed from 30 Rock, packaged into a publicly traded company, and with the working title SpinCo. Really? The one thing that comes to mind is Ding Dong, The Witch is Dead. The machine has shattered.

Things are better than ever for us over here. Life is good. We're doing crazy things. But I do want to stress, and I do have a lot more to talk about in the industry that I'll get to in a later segment. I'll talk about the Brett Cooper stuff and Daily Wire and my thoughts on the inside baseball. But I will tell you this, my friends. The news is a churning.

The big industries, the cable TV news giants, Disney, Fox, etc. They want podcasts and they want YouTube. So I warn all of you small ships sailing the high seas. The East India Trading Company is on its way. And your little pirate, corsair, privateer, whatever you got going on is in trouble. And this is my big concern. Well, we can all sit here and say, you know, things are good for the Indy, the little guy right now. Be warned.

We may see these big companies, Disney, for instance, they step into the field and they say Trump won because of podcasts, because of Joe Rogan. We need to be in the space. Now there's good and there's bad. The good news is your favorite independent personality is going to make a lot of money. And that's good for them. And it's good for their their their worldview. But here's the here's the concern that I see.

You'll get a big corporation backed by the media conglomerates of liberal and globalist persuasion. And they're going to say it's time to put a billion dollars into YouTube podcasting. You will be crushed and it's going to turn into Netflix or Disney Plus or whatever. They want YouTube. They want the space. First thing they're going to do is they're going to try and buy up the little guy. If you don't.

If you if look, a lot of these creators are going to be like, I'm good. And I've talked to them. We've tried signing talent and they're going to say, no, I don't. You know, I make good money. I'm like, OK, so be it. But I'm warning all of you because I've been there, done that. They're going to step into the space. They're going to cut backroom deals with big advertisers. They're going to tell advertisers this is going to be it's going to be amazing. They're going to build a portfolio. Let's just pick any massive media corporation.

They're going to go to 30 prominent personalities and they're going to they're going to say they're going to tell their managers, go sign these guys. They're going to go to them and they're going to say, we are going to make you a beautiful deal. They're going to find talent. They're going to cast talent. There's going to be smaller independent channels and people who don't want to run their own companies.

Well, as many of many of these independent personalities are running their own businesses and taking care of everything, they're going to come in. They're going to sign a person who has a couple hundred thousand subs. They're going to say, we're going to put a million dollars in marketing behind you. We will make you the biggest show. Then we're going to cut backroom deals with the advertisers. So they stop advertising through YouTube. And then we tell YouTube if they want to cut, they've got to put our shows on top. I am warning you, this stuff's coming.

I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong. But this is my prediction. The big networks realizing the cable TV is dead are not just going to cease to exist. They're actually going to give up. They got carriage fees and they want that game. They can go to YouTube and say, we're going to give you $50 million a year off of our ad rev for prominent placement of our shows at the top of your front page. YouTube then says, okay, in the podcast and news section, we'll make sure the top eight channels are always going to be our video partners. Have fun. So

I think something's got to give, but we'll see. We got more coming up. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. Next segment will be at noon, and we will see you all then. Follow me on X and Instagram at TimCast. Hold your horses there, leftists. Y'all may be getting pulled one over on because this Luigi Amangione guy may not be the hitman after all.

Is Luigi Mangione innocent? Lawyer Thomas Dickey makes bombshell claims. He fights extradition from Pennsylvania to New York City. The lawyer saying outright there's no evidence that he did anything related to the New York assassination.

And a lot of people the other day were saying it was a psy-op because, well, for one thing, the story is kind of crazy. But for me, I don't know that I agree it's a psy-op, but the image of the guy who – there's a video and photos of the guy who engaged in this assassination, who murdered the CEO. I don't believe it looked like Mangione.

When they first released this photo of Bong Joon-ho, I said, that's a different guy. And many, many people agreed. Now, the reason I was saying this at the time is because the NYPD did not say he was a suspect. They said he was a person of interest. And a person of interest could be anything. So I told everybody, guys, don't jump the gun. There's a very prominent story from about 10 years ago. I don't want to rehash it.

because it's a tragedy. But people on the Internet quickly started posting photos of the wrong person. And it got some people in big trouble. So that's why I'm like, if the NYPD says it's a person of interest and we don't know. But my friends, we genuinely don't know. Right now, you've got this Mangione guy. He had fake IDs. He had a weapon. He had a ghost gun. And there are part of it was 3D printed or whatever. And it sounds like they're saying this is the guy. But could this be something else? Could this be political?

Maybe this guy wrote something up because he wanted to take credit for it. Maybe he's actually the guy who did it. Maybe the lawyer is only saying this to fight extradition. I'm wondering what that evidence they have may be. So he said so far he's seen no evidence connecting him. This may not be the guy. That's the claim being made, at least. However,

There's a bunch of weird stuff going on. A YouTube channel with a countdown. And I got to tell you guys, stop believing the fake garbage. Two fake manifestos were published. This is weird. A YouTube channel claiming to be from Manjani scheduling videos with a countdown saying all will be revealed or it's all scheduled. Probably fake.

A lot of people are I think smarter people are saying, dude, some kid probably made that YouTube account afterwards and then put a video on it with nothing on it just because I don't know chaos. But what is the possibility? Man, Joni's not actually the guy. It'd be really funny if all these women who are saying they wanted to hook up with them, if you know what I mean, are later to find out that he just tricked them.

And he's being charged for having the gun and the fake IDs. And then NYPD says, now here's where it gets interesting. The NYPD actually said this guy was not on their suspect list. So I wonder, are the police and local governments going to say he wants credit for it? He can have credit for it. Throw him under the bus because, well, it's easier to tell the public we got him than to tell them that there is a deranged hitman on the loose.

Christmas is around the corner and we want this one wrapped up clean. Well, here's a story from the Daily Mail. They say Luigi Mangione's lawyer suggested that police have arrested the wrong man for the killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson. The defense attorney, Thomas Dickey, said the suspect is fighting extradition to New York City for murder charges. He told ABC News he has seen no evidence that Mangione is the man who shot Thompson dead in Midtown Manhattan. Quote,

That's why we're challenging the extradition at this point, so we can see some evidence and get a little more detailed information about the charges against Luigi. It's not clear who is paying Dickey's fees, as he is not a public defender. Well, it's pretty obvious. Mangione's family is reportedly well off. I don't think it's hard for them to get a lawyer.

So we have the video, in fact, here. I can play for you. Let's just play. It's a couple minutes long. And Luigi Mangione's defense attorney, Thomas Dickey. Mr. Dickey, thank you for joining us this morning. Are you standing by that statement that you've seen zero evidence tying Mangione to the murder?

That's correct. The only, we had a brief hearing yesterday and there was one document, an arrest warrant from the state of New York, which merely referenced the statute. We've seen no evidence. That's one of the many reasons why we're challenging the extradition at this point so we can see some evidence and get a little more detailed information about the charges against Luigi. What about the gun? What about the writings?

Well, as I indicated yesterday, I have not been made aware of any evidence that links the gun that was found on his person to the crime. Interesting. So these are things that we're looking to see. And yesterday was fast today. Today's another day we're looking forward to beginning our inquiry as to what evidence may or may not be out there. I think there's probably going to be evidence. Look, guys—

These stories happen quite a bit where there's reason to be doubtful, but it's usually the case that a move was made because there is reason to make a move. So I do. Maybe it's normalcy bias and optimism bias, but I genuinely think that they made the arrest in New York City is fighting for extradition because they do have evidence. He's the guy. Hence, they put a picture of his face on the Internet.

But we don't know for sure. What we do know is that the left is screaming and cheering and wanting to have a kernel relations with him. OK, well, we also have this from Daily Mail. Luigi Mangione considered bombing Manhattan and penned sick to do list before shooting CEO. That's a that's a bold thing to write in a headline considering he's not he's not been convicted. But hey, look at that. They put it in quotes. Well, OK, OK.

They say Manjani appeared in court on Tuesday, blah, blah, blah. He had a spiral notebook in which he wrote a to-do list ahead of the grisly shooting seen and reported. In it, he allegedly toured the idea of using a bomb to kill Thompson, but he sided against the prospect because it could kill innocents and determined a shooting would be more targeted.

He also reportedly mused that it couldn't get any better than to kill the CEO at his own bean counting conference. As Thompson was set to disclose the financial gains the company made this year. Journalist Shimon Prokopach probably not saying that wrong reported that law enforcement and certainly investigators will view the sentence as a confession. Yes, but guys.

I don't I think it's probable that this is the guy considering what we've seen so far. But I reserve the right to say this could be a leftist who wants martyrdom.

Look at how they're reacting to this. Three days after the assassination, he's got everything on him at McDonald's. They find him. And a lot of people are like, how does that make sense? Why would he carry all of this evidence with him? Why would he write down everything? Why would he expect to be arrested? Nobody knew who he was. And I'm going to stress this. The cops outright said he was not on their list of suspects. I think I actually have this. I think I have this pulled up somewhere.

Uh, let's see what we got here. Here it is. Yeah. From first post, Luigi Mangione was not on a list of suspects. Investigators said that the finding of Mangione was a complete surprise that they did not have his name on a list of suspects prior to Monday. So come on, man, there is a decent probability at this point. I'm not saying 50 plus percent. It could be seven, but you got a guy.

That shows up three days later wearing different clothing. It's a different jacket with a gun with fake IDs and it's it fits everything perfectly. He had no reason to carry the stuff on him unless the argument is he wanted to get caught for some reason. Police were tracking the assassin and Luigi Mangione was not on their list of suspects.

So all that would have to happen is for some leftist to see this go down, write in a note. Let me put it this way, guys. OK, again, I'm saying he very well may be the guy, but there were two fake manifestos written after the fact, probably by leftists. There are YouTube videos that are presumed to be fake as well.

How hard would it be for some deranged leftists like maybe this guy to say, I want the narrative to be the CEOs are bad. That's why in his manifesto, he couldn't articulate an argument. He didn't he didn't have one. He just wanted notoriety and he wanted credit for it. So he gets a gun. He writes in a notebook. Yep, I did it. And then he goes and has a friend call it in.

I'm not saying that's true. OK, I'm just saying the police weren't even looking for this guy. You look at the photos from McDonald's and you're wondering, how did someone get a picture of him so close? And he was wearing a brown beanie and a black poofy jacket. How would anyone recognize him as the suspect in New York? It makes literally no sense.

There are arguments, and I'm not going to tell you that I know. I'm just saying these people are psychotic ideologues. And although I think it's a slim possibility, possibility nonetheless that this is just some leftist said, I want this narrative to be against the CEOs. Take advantage of it because the assassin got away. And so they stage it. You know, I'll put I'll say it like this.

The probability that a deranged leftist carries out this plot, assassinates a CEO in broad daylight in cold blood, keeps all the evidence on him to be caught. They say that I don't know the exact number, but he had a picture of a Pokemon on his X profile, which was like the 268th Pokemon. And he was found 260 miles from New York or whatever. I don't know if that's true, but.

It is just as plausible that an insane circuitous plot like that, he got caught on purpose. Someone recognized him wearing totally different clothes. His name was on a list of suspects. It's totally plausible to say a leftist, seeing the existing evidence, crafted that narrative. It's easy to do after the fact. But again, I don't know for sure. I think the simple answer is he probably just did it. Now, of course, there's still a lot more information.

Luigi Mangione was reported missing two weeks before the CEO was slain. Really? Mangione's mother reported him missing to SFPD two weeks before the slaying, according to John Chell. I think this is more evidence that, yeah, he's the guy, but we'll see. He's innocent until proven guilty. He was in Pennsylvania court. This is completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and the lived experience is what he said. They cut that one out because it shows he's a leftist.

He wants a hearing on the extradition, according to Manjone's attorney, Thomas Dickey. He says, I don't want people to jump to these prejudgment things because nobody would ever want that if they were accused. One of their loved ones were accused. And the big hearing today, I haven't seen any evidence. I don't even know if it's him or whatever. So we're going to test those waters and give the government a chance to bring some evidence. Should be interesting.

Now the cops are getting threatened by leftists. This is funny. Altoona police say they're being threatened after arresting him because the left is cheering for all this stuff. Now, here's what I want to do. I want to pull up this Twitter thread from Jeremy Kaufman, who basically breaks down why Mangione is developmentally disabled. That's how that's what I'll call him. And I think it's important that we do.

I am not a big fan of showing off the manifestos or the images of these deranged killers who are trying to make themselves famous because you're basically creating a pathway to which they can become famous by doing horrible things. In this regard, though, you've got right away with or without the information of Mangione, the left cheering for it. So it stands to reason we must debunk their future, their putrid worldview. And it just so happens that we can show the guy and explain he's a moron. Then we can mock him for being corrupt.

developmentally disabled, dangerous and stupid and shame those who have ever celebrated this. As it turns out, the guy is so dangerously stupid, he may have killed someone for no reason. Well, he literally did kill a guy. Killing the CEO does nothing, but it is a symbol. And so these leftists are cheering for it. I don't know that you can get through their thick skulls because they're not very smart people, but sure. Jeremy Kaufman says Luigi Mangione's manifesto includes a superficially damning claim. However, it's wrong. Want to understand why the U.S. spends so much on health care to get such poor results?

Read this thread to see the greatest and most unknown analysis of U.S. health care ever done. So one of the pieces of Mangione's manifesto, he said, frankly, these parasites had it coming. A reminder, the U.S. has the number one most expensive health care system in the world, yet we rank roughly 42 in life expectancy. United is the largest company and blah, blah, blah. I saw that and I wanted to bash my face on the table. I am so sick of these morons. The left, they're so stupid.

Ah, if their brains worked, we wouldn't be in this mess. Stop giving them political power. There is only a spurious correlation between the cost of health care and life expectancy, as Jeremy Coffin breaks down wonderfully in this thread. But let me just put it simply. The cost of health care in a wealthy nation has nothing to do with life expectancy.

Life expectancy has to do with culture. We are Americans that deep fry breaded balls of chicken and then bathe them in a sugar glaze with a quart of fried rice. And that is a Chinese food meal that we eat. And they don't eat that in China. You go to Panda Express, and I love it. And they've got a vat, probably a gallon of deep fried breaded chicken drenched in sugar syrup.

And people load up with a, okay, a pint, sorry, not a quart, but a pint of oil laden sugar sauce rice. The insanity of the food that we eat, okay?

You cannot be a nation of morbidly obese people who refuse to take responsibility for their lives and then blame the fact that health care is expensive. It's an inverse correlation, you moron. If somebody is not exercising and they're gargling canola oil, they're going to die young and their health care is going to be expensive. It is not that we are paying too much for the health care that's not servicing us. It's that America is sick.

So they have to spend more. Not to mention people in this country have a higher standard of living and generally make more money across the board. Rich people get paid well. It's the same thing having to do with why we send labor off to China for low wages. An American worker who's going to build a widget is going to get paid 20 bucks an hour. A Chinese worker is going to get five. We don't then say America has the most expensive widgets in the world. I mean, technically, that's true, but it's because of standard of living. You morons. Okay.

Oh, leftists are so stupid, but we can all shame and make fun of them. Fine. Here's Jeremy Kaufman's breakdown.

Health care spending in all countries tracks income. The richer a country is, the more they spend on health care. The U.S. is the richest country in the world and it spends the most on health care. It's important to use real income for the analysis, not GDP. Duh. If the standard of living in this country is that if you're going to go to school for 12 years and spend $600,000 to get a doctor, you're probably going to need to make money commensurate to that debt that you incurred at the time put in. So you're going to want to have a higher standard of living. You'll probably want to make a six-figure salary. Thus...

you're going to get paid more money. Not to mention, if you go to a third world country where their health care is, we take two sticks off the ground and wrap your leg if you break it versus going to a doctor, getting an X-ray and then having a cast custom made on the spot. One is obviously more expensive. So then you're going to be like, did you know that in Eritrea, their health care costs are actually low? Is it because they can't treat most things? So we end up with these treatments in the United States. Let me tell you a story, because I know somebody who lived in Canada.

Their family member had a kidney disease that could have been cured with an American treatment. I shouldn't say an American treatment, but with treatment in America, there was a way to resolve the issue they were experiencing their kidneys. They lived in Canada and Canada did not have such a treatment. So they were required to go on dialysis every week. If they had come to America and received standard treatment, they could have resolved this. It would have been very expensive. I can't remember exactly what it was. It's a long time ago.

So then we say we spent one hundred thousand dollars on this, on this, on this health care. Yes. But what was it? Was it a CAT scan with the most with the best technology ever developed? So it's expensive. Or you want to go live in a country where they can't even give you the CAT scan and say, good luck, I guess. And he says, yes, but our life expectancy is lower than many of these countries. Not those ones. And you've also got to factor in the fact that Americans guzzle canola oil. And I'm being facetious, but dude, come on.

Like I said, man, our fast food chains, people, I love that meme where the young woman's like, I love coffee and she's got a milkshake. And it's like, dude, that's a Starbucks caramel macchiato frappuccino with chocolate shavings and cookie crumbles. That's not coffee. Okay. You have taken ice, heavy cream pumps of like five pumps of sugar, syrup, whipped cream, chocolate shavings, caramel sauce. And people wonder why Americans are so fat.

They don't exercise, they're sedentary, and they eat garbage so they die sooner and have to spend more money on health care. And this guy is so dumb, he may have actually murdered a dude over cultural issues that we want to solve. But he's not smart enough to understand what's going on in this country. Cursory information from leftist morons who read a Reddit thread and said, there is my truth. Jeez, people need to use Google. Kaufman says...

The U.S. spends more money on health care because it consumes more. The richer a country is, the more health care it consumes. Give more money. People simply consume more health care. How funny is that? Did you know that America has the highest gas prices? It's like, well, we don't. But my point is, if I'm sorry, the highest price is that America spends more money on gas than anyone else. Yes, we have access to it. That's it. You get the point.

Common says the evidence that U.S. health care is uniquely expensive is weak. All goods cost more in richer countries and richer countries. Human time is more valuable. Does health care in the U.S. cost more? Yes, but not in any way that wouldn't be predicted by its wealth. All wealthy countries have more of their economy consumed by health care. The richer a country is, the higher percentage of that country is employed in health care and the more they are paid. Again, nothing unique about the U.S. The U.S. is just rich. He's correct. The fact that we can provide this health care, that's what matters.

Many countries can't. So you spend less. Don't get me wrong. You can go to Mexico for cheaper health care. I'm not saying that's not the case, but that's actually the point. The people who live in Mexico are willing to work for less. Thus, there's cheaper health care. Jeremy, don't don't get me started on overregulation, leftist ideology.

Jeremy says profit margins and compensation in health care aren't high. Health care in the U.S. is not especially profitable compared to other sectors, nor is there anything out of line with how U.S. providers are compensated. Yeah, guys, the CEO of UnitedHealth received $10 million a year salary. Okay, I just want to let you guys know.

Uh, there are TV personalities who make more than the CEO of what is probably one of the largest companies, if not the largest company. This is the guy who runs one of the largest companies in the world. This guy wrote that United United Health is bigger than Apple and all these other companies. You only got paid 10 million a year. Dude, Sean Hannity makes more than that. And he's not even a CEO. It's just talent.

Okay, fine. Talent makes a lot of money. I get it. Movie stars make way more money. But come on. The CEO of the biggest company, the guy who runs it, the people who run Hollywood are billionaires. They make way more than the stars in healthcare. Not so much.

Kaufman says money is diminishing returns on its ability to extend lifetime. Norway and Luxembourg spent twice as much as Spain and Italy to no result. Indeed, the U.S. is uniquely drug addicted, violent and fat. The U.S. is shorter life expectancy due to the behavioral choice of its residents. Money alone can't solve obesity or a gunshot. Thank you. Then the left is going to be like gun crimes are a problem. Indeed, it is. And that's why life expectancy is low.

All of the above graphs and data come from RCA FDM, Random Critical Analysis, an anonymous economics blogger who was absolutely brilliant. His blog is somewhat dead. He's not that active on X. Maybe current events and Doge could encourage him to return. One person responded, the enormous fat population dragging life expectancy down also tends to cover up how well U.S. health care does for things like cancer survival rates.

Systems that ration through wait lists routinely give cancers time to metastasize and turn scary but probably survivable cancers into a death sentence. My friends, this is why I can't stand leftists. They are dumb as a box of rocks. And they're violent and dangerous based off their own ignorance. Sane, rational people who are capable of working solve their own problems. They have families. They start businesses. They live their lives. They don't go around burning down buildings or shooting people. But dangerous morons do. Well,

You got to live with them, I guess. I'm hoping we get real accountability in law enforcement to deal with these morons. In the meantime, we'll see if this dangerous moron is actually the guy who did it. As of now, we don't know for sure, but it's seeming likely.

Oh, boy, it's time for my favorite subject, the internal workings of media, with the news being that Brett Cooper has left the Daily Wire following days of speculation. And the first thing I'm going to tell you guys is stop believing the rumors. Oh, man. You know, it's the most miserable thing in the world working at a media company when you try to be polite and deal with legal issues that you know you should not speak on for legal reasons. And then everybody is lying about everything.

That is, with all these rumors flying around about what really happened between the Daily Wire and Brett Cooper, which I imagine is probably standard business, not that crazy nor interesting. The Daily Wire nor Brett Cooper are going to come out and disparage each other, not because of contracts and restrictions, but because there's no reason to do so. And they're probably not really that upset about it.

So right now, we've had some rumors over the past week that Brett Cooper is upset. She's fighting with Daily Wire. She's being stabbed in the back by her producer. I don't believe any of this. And maybe I'm wrong. OK, maybe I'm wrong. But I'm going to tell you this from my perspective.

Those who don't know, Brett Cooper is one of the biggest shows that the Daily Wire has. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's the comment section with Brett Cooper, which will likely be changing now that Brett Cooper announced last night that she, in fact, was leaving the Daily Wire. My assumption is that her contract ended and renegotiations renegotiations didn't go so well. But there's a lot of reasons why they probably would not have.

And so I'll break that all down for you. But I'm really excited to talk to you about like the internal workings of podcasting. This is the least transparent industry in media. Sorry, that's just true. We know the ratings of CNN when they're floundering and miserable. We mock them. But the podcast industry doesn't disclose their numbers. I have no problem saying that Timcast IRL on the audio podcast side gets about 100,000 unique listeners per night within about 12 hours, 12 to 24 hours, sometimes a little lower.

Sometimes we had 100K after a few days, but it's a topical news show. I wish the numbers were bigger. They are what they are. Most podcasts don't tell you what their numbers are, don't want anyone to know because they want that gravitas and mystique, despite the fact they're going to sell ads against what their actual viewership is. So whatever. But let's start with the story from the spectator. Then I'll show you some of the rumors and speculation. And then I'm tell you what I actually think happened. Not that I know anything specifically. I don't.

But I'll give you my thoughts on what's really going down. And I'm going to explain to you the inner workings of how we do media, how I've done media, media that I've worked in in the past, how the contracts have gone. Here we go from the Spectator. They say Brett Cooper is leaving. They say, hey, guys, some of you have heard the rumors online. The rumors are mostly true. Brett Cooper began her YouTube video posted Tuesday evening very tactfully. Today, December 10th, will be my last day hosting the comment section and working for The Daily Wire. It is not true that I'm being forced out. It was my own choice to leave.

And there's people saying she's lying. She has to say that. Oh, stop, dude. No, no, no, no, no, no. That is wrong. If Brett Cooper is saying she's not being forced out, it's her choice to leave. That is true.

Now, I do think when you see all of the Daily Wire talent posts saying it's sad to see you go, I'm willing to bet that Daily Wire's team said, hey, guys, can you put out a message saying, you know, we're sad to see you go? It's not that complicated. It's a company with media talent and they coordinate PR messaging. I'm not really surprised by that. Let's read more. Cooper had frequently been dubbed the female Ben Shapiro during her tenure as the Daily Wire's other podcast as one of the other other hosts.

She was also set to star in The Wire's production of Snow White and the Evil Queen out next year for some reason. What? The next video announcing her exit has gone over 5 million views on X since the 12 hours of publication. So some people have said, so she's not going to be in Snow White? That makes no sense. I assume they finished filming. Why wouldn't they? And Jeremy also mentioned she is starring in the Pendragon cycle, which is Arthurian legend. And it's basically their Game of Thrones. So she's still going to be seen in all that content. Whatever.

They're going to say, what are the rumors? Cockburn, of course, has been keeping up with all the wire drama. Online whispers implicate the other non-Ben Shapiro co-founder, Jeremy Boring, often referred to as the God King. Hey, guys, that's little G. They put a big G, okay, of the Daily Wire. A number of rumors center on spats between prolific movie producer Boring. He cast himself as a lead in Lady Ballers. Oh, come on, it's the only thing he did, which he also produced, co-wrote, and directed, and Cooper.

Uh, I will say this of Jeremy. Uh, he's a good dude. I've, I've known him for a long time and, uh, he could be doing a lot more. That's why I just, I'm sorry. Maybe, maybe I'm just, I run a media company so I can relate to when people are spreading lies about you. And because you're trying to do the right thing, you don't talk about it. So what can I say again? I haven't talked to Jeremy or anybody that either wire about any of the specifics relating to this. So I have no idea. I'll just give you my thoughts.

They say after Cooper gives some graceful, grateful farewells at the beginning of her video, she segues to a clip of the God King himself. Bittersweet indeed. We're sad to see Brett go, but we're excited to see her take up the next step in her journey. It's been a pleasure to see her bring the comment section to life these last three years.

Brett's YouTube show, The Comment Section with Brett Cooper, has garnered about half the YouTube subscribers that Ben Shapiro's accrued in just three years, a remarkable feat compared to Shapiro's many years in the business. Amid all the rumors, Reagan Rohrbach, Brett's producer, had been filling in for Brett periodically, and Brett announced Rohrbach would take over the show as many predicted. Online slews noted that Cooper had deleted all photos featuring her with her producer from her Instagram in the week leading up to Cooper's announcement. Cockburn would like to host a quick comment section of his own

OK, sure, whatever, whatever. Fortunately for the Daily Wire, they can apparently afford to lose a few of the Gen Z viewers. Cooper, they can apparently Daily Wire raise an undisclosed round of capital in 2023 at a valuation well north of one billion dollars, a source told Axios Tuesday. Conveniently, shortly before the Cooper announcement, the Daily Wire is reportedly on track to surpass 200 million dollars in revenue by the end of this year.

Wow. The company's streaming service has well over a million subscribers. Boring and Shapiro have long been described as shrewd businessmen, and the numbers are supporting that fact. But as Cooper said, the rumors are mostly true, whatever that means. It means she's leaving. Part of the rumor people were saying is that the Daily Wire is in financial trouble. Oh, man. Guys, I work in the media industry. I look at Ben Shapiro alone can probably sustain the entirety of the Daily Wire.

This is this is what people don't get. And it's frustrating. I try. I do to tell you guys the numbers. And I and I know you guys watch me and you appreciate that. But I think for like everybody else who doesn't watch my show, they live in a clueless world. They don't understand the exorbitant amount of money that comes into this industry. And the margins are great. But but we'll get in. We're going to let me read more.

They say she's wearing a sweater, blah, blah, blah. As an actor, it's so freeing because I don't feel like I'm censoring myself at all. Cooper said in an article last year on The Daily Wire addressing her role as Snow White that aged well. Everybody wants to rag on the big dog and the big player. I, for one, think The Daily Wire is extremely important because the alternative is the corporate institutions of, say, like Disney and Fox Corp and ABC. Well, ABC is Disney. NBC, CBS, et cetera, et cetera. Let me show you a little bit of the rumor mill.

Here's one of the top tweets. It doesn't have a lot of views at 12,000, but this was, uh, I've seen this circulating. And when you search on Twitter, this is what you get. This person says I'm no business major, but it seems like daily wire might've effed up if they lost Brett Cooper. Bottom two videos are with Brett. The top two are with a replacement. And they show that when Brett makes a video, it gets half a million. And when Reagan does, it gets 170 to 147 guys. Just, I I'm, I'm really excited to give you all the inside baseball in this one.

One person says, Brett Cooper getting kicked off the Daily Wire. Apparently she had disagreements with the treatment of Candace Owens and the culture at Daily Wire, all fueled by Jeremy Boring. She won't be able to address this. They made her sign an NDA just like real Candace Owens. If this is true, I'll be genuinely upset. Don't do my favorite YouTubers like that. This is all alleged. And then we've got this video from Ian Carroll. I'll play a little bit. ...pushing Brett Cooper out. And I was like, inside scoop on the fact that the Daily Wire is pushing Brett Cooper out. And I was like,

And I know who she is. She's great at her job. She does what she does. And so I go and look up her channel and I'm like, wait a minute. She's still producing videos though. What's going on? And so I started digging in more. I talked to James. Then I went and I started digging in and found my own source right at the Daily Wire. And now I've had even more come and corroborate it since I reported on it.

And it's not just that the Daily Wire is pushing out Brett Cooper. It's actually that Brett Cooper is, A, under one of these contracts that has her basically tied to secrecy and silence because now they're terminating her contract. I like Ian Carroll. I've had him on the show several times, but this is just wrong. Arbitration clauses are coming into play. So she is in a secret court of arbitration, not a public court, where she is under NDA and can't say anything about it while they spin whatever narrative they want about it. No!

circulating around letters internally that are saying like, oh, Brett Cooper wants to leave and that is not the case at all apparently according to everyone at the Daily Wire that I've spoken to. And it's that she had disagreements with Jeremy Boring over what happened with Candace probably and certainly more disagreements in terms of like

the culture there and what's going on and is now getting, I'm curious what that means. Like what is the culture there and what is going on? Pushed out. They are promoting her best friend who was her maid of honor at her wedding. They offered her a contract that was so lucrative. She couldn't refuse it. The best friend that her, her bestie had producer, producer Reagan bridesmaid. Yeah. Her producer was her bridesmaid at her wedding this year. And they have, they apparently allegedly gave her communism.

Communism, I say. I'm kidding, by the way, but I'm screaming communism. All right, let's break this down.

Jump over to the comments section over here on YouTube, and I'm going to give you my free market moderate liberal view. And as the CEO of a media company with lots of talent that makes—we're an eight-figure company, by the way, in terms of revenue, which means we're probably worth substantially more than that. If you go by, like, standard evaluation based on the hard assets that we own, one could estimate the value of TimCast around maybe $70 to $100 million. Yeah.

Yeah. Look at Travis Kelsey. He sold his podcast for $100 million. Call Her Daddy. Was that Alex Cooper? Is that her name? I don't know. $100 million. So we are...

Usually the biggest live show on YouTube, Tim Kess IRL. But the company has more than just that. We have multiple revenue streams. We we have a coffee brand, the coffee brand. We're doing around two million in revenue per year. The skateboard company we just launched, we've sold probably close to 80 to one hundred thousand dollars worth of skateboard stickers and art. It's probably closer to like 80,000. I haven't checked the latest numbers. We do very, very well.

And so I can tell you all about this and I got no problem doing so. Let's take a look first at that comment about Reagan's viewership versus Brett Cooper's. And if you look right at the beginning, you can see that Brett Cooper's last episode has 400,000 views in 13 hours. That's really good. I mean, crushes my viewership. Let's go.

I put up a video clip and I get, you know, in this past month, not nearly that much. Four days ago, she got half a million views on that. Man, I'm jealous. This month's been a little low for me. Usually. So the actual average on my videos for this morning show is 225,000. Sometimes they're good, but I don't know. I got to be honest. I don't do any of the like the head tracking stuff. I don't have the marketing. I don't have the thumbnails. I literally don't do any thumbnails. Let's take a look at Reagan.

One hundred sixty four K, one hundred eighty three three K between these two videos. If we scroll down, however, to two weeks ago, we can see that here's a video from Brett Cooper with two hundred seventy six and Reagan's got three hundred nineteen. Reagan has one hundred sixty three. So sometimes they're low, sometimes they're high. Reagan doesn't host that many. Here's one of Reagan with half a million. The movement shows what's wrong with leftist women. Five hundred ninety five thousand.

Now, it's possible when they say that Brett Cooper removed Reagan from her Instagram or whatever. I don't know if that's true. Maybe she did. That there is some animosity. It is acrimonious. But first, let me tell you what I think probably happens. As I understand it, and this is, I'm not entirely sure, the comment section is not Brett Cooper. The comment section was, actually, let's go to the oldest video. Mm-hmm.

The comment section with Brett Cooper trailer. Brett Cooper was a personality that I believe they selected to host a show they wanted to do. And I could be wrong about this because I don't know. I'm not privy to the internal workings of The Daily Wire and how they launch things. But what I had heard was that they wanted to launch a show, Gen Z female host, and they found Brett Cooper to do it. It is a show wholly owned by The Daily Wire, wholly marketed to.

We run ads for Timcast IRL and the Tim Pool Morning Show on YouTube.

It's simple. I've launched them in the past year or so where it's like, hey, if you want to watch the best show in news, culture and politics, check out Timcast IRL Monday through Friday, 8 p.m. live. Subscribe. Click the ad. Subscribe. Smash the like button and we'll see you all there. It's just that extremely effective. It costs money. We're the ad I'm doing. It's like working really well. We just launched this recently and you can see it's it's it's been tremendous.

If I wanted to, I know exactly how much money I have to spend if I would like to have 4 million subscribers as well. If I were to spend the money required to get 4 million subscribers, then, well, that's me making that choice as the owner and principal host of this show. For Brett Cooper, who is not, who is paid talent, the Daily Wire has to decide how much they're going to spend. I know how much money it's going to cost to build up a show to this point, and it is substantial.

So a lot of people are saying she didn't want to leave. She was forced out. She says she's leaving of her own volition. That is probably half true. Brett Cooper probably wanted to stay hosting the show, but she wanted things that they did not want to give her.

Here's my view. Brett Cooper says, hey, look, I just got married last year. I want to spend more time with the family. She's been taking time off, as you can see, with Reagan hosting some of these shows. And she's still under contract, implying that she's saying, I want to be with my family on my farm or something to that effect. Maybe I'm wrong about that. I'm just saying she's been taking time off. She likely is up for contract renegotiation and went to the bosses and said, the show's massive. There's millions of viewers and I want more money.

They probably countered and said, Brett, we've spent millions of dollars to get the show to this point, and we're trying to make that money back. So, no, we're not going to give you what you're asking for. Host the show, be famous, and you'll make this much money. Brett probably countered with something like I can host my own show and I'll make a ton of money on my own. I don't need you anymore. This is the big problem. And I feel for big companies in this space trying to do things like this. Contracts are meaningless. Now, here's why I said to Ian Carroll, no.

over the NDA stuff. NDAs are mutual respect. That's it. They're largely to dot your I's, cross your T's in terms of external arguments with larger, I'm sorry, external agreements with other companies.

For instance, if we have employees here at Timcast, they all have a standard business NDA and they all have standard employment contracts. That means anything they make while they work for the company is property of the company. But I'll explain why. And we tell people, people with larger, a lot of people you see here, they're not, they're contractors. Contractors can come of their own volition at any time. They set their own schedules. We don't tell them what to do or when to do it. We say, here's a job we need done. Can you do it? We pay them to do it. Employees have schedules. Nothing we can do about it.

We have tried in some instances to bring on talent and we can't because we cannot. We don't want to own everyone's IP. Right. Let's say there's a dude who hosts a show and he's also got a book and he owns this other company. And we say, OK, the problem is if we want to set a schedule for you and say you have to be here at this time, we legally can't have you be a contractor permanently. It's called permalancing and it's illegal. Right.

You have to be an employee if you're going to be on a set schedule. But as an employee, we have to own what you produce. I'll explain why. It's not that we want to steal anything from anybody. If I enter a contract with a movie producer and I say we standard contracts for like a film, they always include a provision that says we assert that we have full rights to everything we are describing.

Let's say that we have someone here who is an employee working full time and they have the right to produce external content outside of the company. That means not only would they utilize access to our shows and other and other elements of this place to profit, which kind of undermines us in a certain way. But we're we're chill hippies over here. It means that if I enter into a contract with a third party and I assert that I have full rights to everything that we produce and say and there's no so it's a combination of things.

This would basically undermine that contract because I don't, in fact, have full rights. We let other people here make content in the media space as employees in other areas. It undermines our ability to control our intellectual property, sign deals with other companies. Let's say I got an episode. I got an idea for a movie. It's about a guy who juggles horseshoes.

And a third party investor says, we are in. We want 30 percent ownership. It'll be a joint venture or something like that effect. And we sign a contract saying we assert we have full rights to do this. But then we have we've given somebody who's not under NDA and not under any kind of IP rights contract as an employee. They then immediately say, hey, everybody, I'm announcing I'm filming my own horseshoe juggling movie. We are now in breach of our existing contract. It's a nightmare.

So we tell people, if you want to do something here and you don't want to be under the full umbrella, then we'll find a way to do a contract position. But for a lot of people, we told them, no, you can't do it. We won't hire you. Thank you. And have a nice day. So anyway, I digress when they say like she's under NDA in an arbitration show. She can't say anything. Guys, a woman with one million followers on Instagram is is obligated to nothing, literally nothing. The Daily Wire is big.

And what gets them by is that right now, Brett Cooper is a professional. She is intelligent and she gets the business. And the same is true of Jeremy Borden. Any disagreements they have is probably surface level business. And I'm sure maybe they're upset at the end of the day. The Daily Wire is probably sad to lose Brett Cooper. She does pull in massive views. Brett's probably sad to leave the Daily Wire, but she feels maybe she should get more money and want to spend more time at home. The Daily Wire probably responded with we need a full time host. OK, it's it's it's too soon for you to say you're going to host less.

But there's more to the there's more to this. I'll explain in a second. So if I know this because I've worked for companies and I was explaining this last night, I there is no reality where you enter into a contract that is extremely lopsided, one sided and damaging to one party and a judge upholds it.

OK, if I if I said, would you like to sign a contract for employment here at Timcast and we'll pay you X amount of dollars? And they said yes. And then in the fine print, it actually says I'll pay you less. No judge is going to uphold that. They're going to say the purpose of a contract is to outline a fair agreement. If you told the person in paragraph one that they're going to they're getting paid 100 grand a year, but at the bottom, way in the back and in tiny text, or if it says see addendum, it says your pay will be reduced commensurate with the appropriate responsible blah, blah, blah, blah.

They're going to be like, no, no, no, no, no, no. This person entered in the agreement, believing they get this back. You can't do that to somebody. If it said, I get your power of attorney, they're just going to say no, and they're going to throw it out. But here's what really matters.

I was I have contracts. I have clients and went into agreement with a client for work. And they came to me and they said, here's the deal. Here's what we're thinking. I said, here's OK, we agree to this. We get an invoice. I look at the invoice and I say, this is not what we agreed upon. And they said, actually, you did. And it turns out there was a provision that wasn't that was a bit assumptive, as it were, meaning what was presented to me was not was interpretable in the contract. And I have lawyers.

And so you want to go to war, baby? We'll go to war. My lawyer, of course, said, no, they're pulling a fast one on you. Sure, they're going to try and make the argument. That was the interpretation. But we clarified this in advance. This is what we did. And our lawyers like we're going to win. Didn't matter, though, because I get on the phone with them and they said, sorry, this is what the agreement is. And I said, I am going to hang up, sever our business relationship, and then I'm going to record a 20 minute video about exactly what you did. And they're like, no, no, no, no, no, no. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

We're sorry. What do you want? Dude, you listen. NDAs, they're they're important. They're good. They generally work. But it's more about like we have an understanding before this. We're going to act professionally. If it was really as bad as a lot of people are claiming with Brett Cooper in The Daily Wire and she really was being forced out, ain't no NDA or arbitration clause is going to stop anything.

Because I'll tell you this, with a million followers, she has massive leverage to cause massive problems for the Daily Wire. That is to say, Brett probably entered into negotiations for her contract. They were unhappy and she left. And that's it. I'm not a fan of this. They have NDAs and they can't talk about it. I'm like, when they say they can't talk about it, they're being nice and respectful. OK, anybody who is truly wanting to go nuclear would literally use that leverage against the company. OK, so anyway, OK.

When you say like they're in arbitration and that stuff, I doubt they went to arbitration. That's silly. Now, as for Reagan and the producer, guys, I'm going to tell you how I feel about this. If I spent millions of dollars building up a show that got to four and a half million followers. Yes, I understand the principal talent is the main face of the show, but CNN rotates their schedules, too. And this has to be adaptable. I do think they will face a general pullback from Brett Cooper leaving the show. But Reagan will probably do really well.

It is possible that Brett Cooper is upset with Reagan, but I don't blame the Daily Wire for offering Reagan a contract if that's what they did. I don't know. So the way ads are sold, we recently did a three-month ad deal. I try not to do extended ad deals. I try to do pay-as-you-go. You get less money. It's often better to pay in advance because you can do, to sell in advance because you can do averages. And we did a mid-roll ad read yesterday. We'll probably pick these things up, but we'll see how things go. We did a three-month deal.

That's a contract. It has to be completed. So let's imagine this. We're right now in the upfronts period. It's the last quarter of the year where advertisers are coming in, taking a look at the averaging for all of viewership and what they can expect in projections for next year. Companies then will sell a large portion of inventory upfront to bring in the revenue to run those shows and run a profit, expand, invest, etc. Let's imagine this. Again, no idea about Brett Cooper.

Let's say that I, as a company, I'm approached by an advertiser and like this happens every day, by the way. And they say, hey, Tim, we like this, this show. We want to buy 30 ad reads over the next four months at this rate on this schedule. And they give us a calendar and we tell them where we have inventory.

Imagine I had hired talent and I said, okay, we've spent millions of dollars building up the show. We spent millions of dollars marketing it. We've flown you all over the place. We've got you on podcasts. We've built up your brand. This cost us a lot of money. We need to make that money back. We have sold six months of ads in advance and now, uh,

Contract negotiations are coming in and the talent says, I want more money. And the response is, OK, well, we still haven't recuperate or recoup our initial investment from building up a show of this size. And I'm not convinced the comment section has actually I assume that they've made a good amount of money, but it's probably not substantial. Getting getting a show like this to three years takes a lot of time and a lot of energy and a lot of money.

And so maybe, maybe, you know, actually, I take that back. I think they're probably turning a pretty profit on the comment section. But imagine you sold in advance and the talent says, I want more money. You say, look, we're not making that much money off of the ads already sold and they have to be sold. So we can't reduce schedule and we're not going to pay you anymore. The ads are sold for what the ads are. We invested in the show. We are entitled the majority of it. You get X percent. You are talent hired to host the show, not the creator of the show. And the individual then says, I don't need you anymore.

This is the big risk at risk in the modern era. And it's why I say contracts don't matter. The important thing to understand back in the day, if, if I sent a talent contract with ABC, for instance, and then we got into an argument and I disparaged them and I broke my contract, they would sue me and I'd never work again. I tried going to NBC, CBS. They're going to be like, not you. We're not hiring. You will get sued by ABC. You're under contract. You're being sued this day and age. You can make your own social media channel. Nobody can stop you.

They can sue you all day and night, but guys, it just, it's not going to happen. Understand there's a story of this couple that were staying outside, outside of a McDonald's and they were pamphleting saying McDonald's was bad. McDonald's sued them and the PR backlash was so bad. McDonald's lost a lot of money.

The Yes Men activists talk about this. They say people ask them, how come these are activists who cause problems for the stocks of big companies, most notably the Bhopal disaster hoax, where they went on the BBC claiming to be an executive announcing they were liquidating Dow Chemical or was it Union Carbide? I think that not not Dow. They were liquidating Union Carbide to pay for the Bhopal disaster caused a massive stock collapse. People are asked, how come they didn't sue you? And they said, because suing the little guy is actually bad for business.

So let's say that Brett Cooper breaks all the contract, breaks all the rules, launches their own channel. And then the Daily Wire announces we're suing you to shut you down. Do you think that's going to look good for the Daily Wire? Do you think it's going to help them? No. So it's not so much that Jeremy Boring of the Daily Wire is putting the boot down on somebody. It's that there is a there is a let's not get into mutually assured destruction and go to war with each other. It would be bad for everybody. Let's just agree to disagree. Be friends and we'll wish you the best of luck. That's it.

Daily Wire always knew their contract would be coming to an end after a certain amount of time. Brett Cooper knew the same thing. And Daily Wire knows, because I know this, if you invest substantially into building up talent, they can leave whenever and there's little you can do about it. Going to war with personalities against their audience is not good for you. That's it. So anyway.

Let me just say a lot of this is more about my like wanting to talk about the podcast industry and the money and all of those things. And I know nothing about what's going on. For all I know. So, you know, Jeremy threw a snowball at her and there's no snow in Nashville. But I don't know. For all I know, he said that he didn't like her hair and she was like, how dare you? I quit. Whatever. I doubt it.

I believe what likely happened is it's a big show with massive investment and Brett Cooper wanted more money to rip her contract. She's looking at launching her own brand and channel now that they've built her up. It's a risk that Illy Wire knows about. I know about if I hire a talent and then invest a ton of money to build up their profile, they can then leverage that to leave and go independent. Welcome to reality. That's why I don't have term contracts with anybody at Timcast.

People ask me, like, are you serious? Pop culture crisis. Shout out to the pop culture crisis crew. No term contracts. They can leave whatever they want. And I'm like, look, we the way we structure things is there's a certain amount we want off the top for the investment we made. We need to recuperate our losses, but we recognize they could screw us over and stab us in the back. But I don't have any strong contracts. The NDA is largely about our ability to control IP. I, you know.

The NDAs are basically like you can't reveal inner workings of the company. Non-disparagement agreements are a bit different. I don't think we have any of those. It could be included. I'm not sure. I don't really care that much. I'm like, I don't know, whatever. But at any point, anybody who works here is free to leave.

contract talents or whatever. And many people have asked, like, why don't you get term contracts to guarantee that they'll stay there for this time if you're going to invest this money? And I'm like, because if they get unhappy and they're stuck here, it's just miserable for everybody. You're not going to force somebody to do the job they don't want to do. So I love it. I love how everything works. But I'll wrap up with one final thought on this. The idea that the Daily Wire is broke is the stupidest rumor anybody could have could have stayed. I mean, I mean, come on. Look,

You look at the video hosted by Reagan with 164,000 views and I don't know, let's give it a $20 CPM and say that she's pulling in $3,500 for a pre-roll ad read. These videos that are about 11 minutes may have one mid-roll and that's actually worth a little bit more. She could be pulling in $4,000 off one video, okay? Now they got a lot of staff, they got a lot of production, but they're not going to be

But that's not including the additional thousand you might get from programmatic ads or subscriptions or whatever you get on YouTube, plus the members only stuff. With Brett Cooper's 400,000, she's probably pulling in a lot with that. So $20 CPM, 10K, eight to 10,000 for one video, a lot of money. That being said, I don't know what they're selling for. But you also may notice we don't do a lot of ad reads on this channel.

I could be making a substantial amount of money if we did pick these things up. And maybe things will change largely because of this. My final thoughts on the matter. Disney, Fox Corp, a bunch of massive multinational corporations are going to attack this space in the coming year. They've seen where the money is. They've seen cable TV news dwindling.

For a long time, I've just sort of relied on no marketing and just doing my thing. I make money. I talk about what I want to talk about. We have fun. We have special projects. Some work, some don't. Chicken City is a blast. The Boonies is successful. We're merchandising. It's going very well. Casper is massively successful. Pop Culture Crisis, a couple hundred thousand subscribers. They're making money, too. We're very excited for their success.

And I do know that if we don't make some substantial moves for the next year with the podcast presidency taking hold, we are looking at these big players that are woke and that we hate and that are run by these awful institutions taking control and crushing us.

They couldn't deal with YouTube. We stop appearing. Right now, we get some features and we are the number one live show on average on YouTube. We're not the number one live show, period, because anybody can, anyone like if Brett Cooper did a live stream, he'd probably get more viewers than me. Steven Crowder, he moved to Rumble. So on YouTube, on average, TimCast IRL is the biggest live audience.

If any other podcast has a special broadcast, they may get more live viewers than we do. That could be because live is special for them. And so more people try to tune in saying, oh, wow, they're live. Whereas Timcast IRL is live every single night. And some people might just watch later on. We do still average the highest audience. We typically are the biggest news audience live on YouTube every single day. And we are only beaten by Pat McAfee on average. Sometimes other streams do beat us. Don't get me wrong, but we average out the best.

If one of these big networks cuts a deal with YouTube, we will be crushed. And this little indie label that we have can't survive if we continue the way things are. So we've been looking at a few different options, which we'll have more developments on in the future, which I believe will massively benefit us. One of which is doing, like you may have seen, we did a mid-roll ad read. So at 9.30 on TimCast.IRL, right before Super Chats, we read an ad.

This is going to help us increase revenues, increase marketing, increase staffing. But there are a couple options we're looking at which we may pursue. Hence, when I was talking to Cougar and Sam Cedar, I said, guys, we're in the contract negotiations right now. So there's not a whole lot I can say about this stuff, though I am kind of revealing a lot.

With all that being said, I hope this insight into the podcast industry has been fun and insightful. And of course, I am deeply passionate about all of this.

Thanks for hanging out and we'll see you all in the next segment.

I absolutely despise these people. Caitlin Clark, you have spoiled all of your goodwill. Caitlin Clark admits white privilege reopens WNBA race debate. Well, this lady recently got the cover of Time magazine as athlete of the year. And then, of course, because she's terrified of the political left, she goes, it's not me, actually. I'm a white person and it's black women who did everything for me. Yeah.

It's not correct. White privilege is stupid. And the concept of white privilege is stupid. The concept of privilege in general is largely stupid. And it's an excuse by people who are not very good at things or don't want to or don't know how to navigate systems. It's an excuse. Caitlin Clark is virtue signaling and she deserves derision and shame for having done so. Because she got the feature on Time Magazine, of course, everybody's talking about her. She has been hit, insulted. I think she had her hair pulled or whatever.

Because she is like the biggest star of the WNBA. In fact, the only reason anybody would actually talk about the WNBA is because of her. But it's because she's white. So say she. Well, it's not the case. And I've got some information for you. You want something crazy? I'm not going to barely on this one. I'll show you in a second, though. There was a black man who held down Jordan Neely on the subway with Daniel Penny.

They don't even include his name in the Wikipedia article in the killing of Jordan Neely. His name doesn't appear, despite the fact not only is he on video restraining the man, excuse me, but he testified in court and he lied about his involvement and he never got charged. But Daniel Penny did. White privilege, please. My friends, racism is real. This country does have systemic racism.

Right. I want to be careful how I describe this. Describe this. There are elements in this country that are in it that are systemically racist. And I got to pause there because the left doesn't explain what that means. And I will because I'm not going to I'm not going to be hanging.

The easiest way to explain it is that redlining, for instance, existed. So what does it mean that the system itself has racist components? No individual, in my opinion, I should say largely, individuals are not motivated by racism. Cops are not largely motivated by racism. They don't think down on one group or one race, though individuals can be racist, and it does happen.

What I'm saying is redlining the practice by which real estate companies would only sell properties to black people in certain areas. Those those the remnants of that exist to this day in generational wealth.

that redlining refers to Chicago where the redline train station, the real estate company said, just only sell the black people there. Now you largely have black neighborhoods and lower income areas due to this practice, which resulted in lower property values, less generational wealth. That was made illegal. You can't do that. You can't say, because of your race, I'm not going to sell to you in this area. And so-

From this, you get a plethora of issues. Now, I'm not saying that people who are born in this era can't survive and can't escape. You've got cultural problems, too. My point is simply that there do exist the remnants of old racist policy that still impacts people to this day. I'm fine with acknowledging that. And I think largely we've done away with it. The problem is the race hustlers are increasingly making these things, making them worse, right?

As the saying goes, racism is on its deathbed, but it's being given CPR by the Democrats. While I can recognize the housing market, blockbusting, redlining and all of those things, and these things have had an impact generally generationally. The issue at hand is the left then equates that to the only reason Caitlin Clark is successful and famous because of her white privilege and it's black and deserve all the credit. And they do this all the time. No.

Merit deserves the credit. Basketball should be for anybody. You can't keep playing this game that in today's day and age, you are unable to succeed because of your race or otherwise. Clearly, when you have prominent billionaires who are not white, that's not true. Well, a story from Marka. Caitlin Clark has risen to extraordinary heights, blah, blah, blah. She addresses the impact and acknowledges her privilege.

She acknowledged her role in boosting the league's popularity, saying, I've been able to captivate so many people that have never watched women's sports, let alone women's basketball, and turned them into fans. A lot of those players in the league have been really good. She said, I want to say I've earned every single thing, but as a white person, there is privilege. No, there isn't. Shut up. I can't stand these people. Her comments about elevating black women and recognizing their foundational contributions sparked intense reactions.

Clark's remarks have added complexity to her meteoric rise. Supporters view her acknowledgement of racial privilege as a demonstration of self-awareness and respect. Yeah, sure. Conversely, critics see her comments as giving in to societal pressures rather than focusing solely on her accomplishments. Well, it's because she doesn't want to get punched in the face by a racist. You see, there's going to be an individual who is black, who is racist, who hits her. She doesn't want to deal with that. So she's playing this drop to her knees and beg. Yeah, it's pathetic.

Let me show you white privilege. First of all, if you want to talk about majority privilege or cultural privilege, you want to talk about what that means, the problem I have with it is I, Tim Pool, your favorite mixed-race YouTuber...

Growing up on the south side of Chicago with mangled, gnarly teeth. Oh, geez, I never got braces. A relatively poor family. I love how they try to claim my family was middle class, despite the fact that they were lower class. I don't they just they have to lie about everything. My family growing up, we lost our house to bankruptcy and my parents got divorced and we do. We do. We could do. We could.

Um, growing up in the situation, I was able to navigate out of it through hard work, perseverance and discipline. And I'm lucky that I learned those lessons from where I did, namely my parents, but also from just cultural influences like, yeah, start to the next generation. Watching these shows, which largely comes from my parental influence, of course, um,

gave me a worldview. Then, of course, there's a genetic component, an inherent drive that some people have and some people don't. I believe it's a mix of nature and nurture. My issue is these people tell me during Occupy Wall Street, they said, look at this guy, Tim Pool, you know, you're working class family, lower class, you know, and he's smart. And they said this to me. They said, see, this proves the system is broken. Like someone like you is hardworking and smart, should be successful and wealthy and be rewarded for your hard work. Not these parasites.

And I'm like, yeah, yeah, about that. A month later, I was featured in Time Magazine's Person of the Year. And what did these exact same people say? Ah, Tim Pool is a trust fund kid. He got a silver spoon in his mouth. He was born rich. That's the game they play. These people don't want to take responsibility or credit in this regard for their actions. Ah, the killing of Jordan Neely. Let's talk about it.

On May 1st, 2023 in New York City, Jordan Neely, a 30 year old homeless American man was killed after being put in a chokehold by Daniel Penny, a 24 year old United States Marine Corps veteran. Penny was found not guilty. Neely's death prompted protests. Here's what they say. Neely boarded the subway train just before it departed. Uh,

He said he was hungry. Neely said he was hungry, thirsty, needed a job, saying he was not afraid to go to prison, was ready to die, threatening people. Juan Alberto Vasquez, a freelance journalist who witnessed the incident, said Neely removed his jacket and threw it to the floor, a response to which other passengers moved away from him. Vasquez said he did not witness Neely assaulting anybody. Other witnesses reported fearing death, which included his throwing trash at other passengers. Penny then approached Neely from behind and put him in a chokehold. Penny maintained the hold after the train reached its next stop.

During the chokehold, some bystanders warned Penny about Neely South once that you're going to kill him now, while others helped in holding down Neely until police arrived. What's the guy's name? Why'd you omit that? Because the man's name was Eric Gonzalez, and he's a black man. See, if you are robbing a woman.

If you walk up to a random guy in the street and put him in a chokehold and pin him down to steal from him while another guy holds his arms down, you are both committing the crime. And if that is murder, you have both murdered him. And if the actions result in death, you have both contributed to manslaughter if it was accidental. But that's felony murder if it's an actual crime being committed. In this regard, you can see an image. There he is. Look at him. They drew a picture of him holding down Neely so he could not get out of the chokehold.

Really, he was never charged. According to the New York Post, they say he lied about his involvement and proves no good deed goes unpunished. How come in the Wikipedia page his name doesn't even appear? Interesting. You want to talk about white privilege. The only reason Daniel Penney got charged is because he's white.

I got no problem in saying it. And I'll say it to whoever wants to hear it. There was another case in New York where a black man was assaulted on a train and the guy died. And I believe he stabbed the dude and he didn't get charged. It was self-defense. It's sad. We don't want it to happen, but self-defense. This guy's threatening to kill people and three people.

Held down nearly one of which was the white Daniel Penny, the only man to get charged. So spare me your white privilege. B.S. Caitlin Clark, you have just lit yourself aflame politically because you had everybody basically saying congratulations. Good job. And now you decided to step up, vomit on the floor and tell the majority of the country that you're not interested in their support. Man.

Uh, well, you know, I don't, I don't know what's going to happen to her. Maybe she'll be fine, probably, but people are roasting her for it as they should. It's a silly, it's a silly concept that it's stupid. And I tell you this, anyone in this country can succeed if they so choose. You just have to choose. You can't, success is your own choice. You can't go into areas and want to be a gangbanger and then think you're going to succeed.

You're going to live that life, live by the sword and die by the sword. If success to you in your mind is being wealthy and famous, then there are a bunch of paths to starting a business, entertainment, culture, arts, sports. But if you choose a lifestyle of negativity, then that's what you're going to get. Anybody born in the gutter can crawl their claw their way out. I wouldn't say that I grew up in like the ghetto or anything like that. I grew up in a lower class neighborhood.

One block away from my house was a hot dog stand with bullet holes in it. It had bulletproof glass windows with bullet holes in it. Not holes, but like bullet impact marks on the windows. And it was it was it was relatively dangerous. I had friends who died of heroin. Much of my friends were in gangs. And it's a choice you make. Do you want to be there or here? Some people want to be street. They want to be hard. That's their choice. But then don't blame everybody else and call it privilege.

Follow me on X and Instagram at TimCast, and we'll see you all in the next segment. Only fans star. That's what they say. Yeah, I have a different word for that. She slept with 100 guys in 24 hours and says, I feel guilty. Actually, she cried her eyes out.

She cried. It's disgusting. It should be shamed. I'm sorry, dude. You can live how you want to live. Whatever. I'm going to shame you. Okay, Lily, that's your name. Yeah, I'm shame. Shame. You know, this funny, these leftists, they go out in public during these protests and they chant shame, shame, shame at police. Yet they're the ones who are being like, actually, let me put it this way. Oh,

A woman who sleeps with 100 guys in one day and gets makes millions of dollars on her OnlyFans. They say don't shame her. Don't what they call it. Sex, slut shaming fat people who gorge themselves and get sick. They say don't don't body shame. Yet they will shame police for arresting criminals and yell shame. As the saying goes, your booze mean nothing. I've seen what makes you cheer.

So we've got clips now going viral about this woman who slept with a bunch of guys and she cried. She's crying. She literally says she had to dissociate. She had to like shut down and blank her mind because a hundred guys were railing her. Here's a story from Marka.

See, when the news broke that an OnlyFans star was going to take on the challenge of banging 100 dudes in 24 hours, many saw this behavior as a clear danger to her. Yeah, seriously. Also, all the guys who would do this, that's the most disgusting thing, dude. She, like, she says no guy's ever going to want to marry her. That's not true. There's probably some, like, low-value male who's going to want to be with anybody. You know what I mean? Like, you'll find somebody. Whatever.

Lily Phillips announced her challenge. Without regard to the consequences, when she announced it, a documentary filmmaker named Joshua Peters contacted her to be able to tell the whole story afterwards. 101 men and 24 hours in a London Airbnb. What Airbnb would allow that? In the video, the reporter can be seen entering the room where the encounters took place. A place full of tissues, condom wrappers, and a rose placed on top of the bed. What could not be perceived in the video is the smell as the room stank. Something that made the camera assistant wretch. Ha!

Oh, man, this is awful. In her speech, the woman recounted the script she had repeated more than 100 times. The day when each man entered the room with phrases such as come in, make yourself at home, take off your pants or let's have a good time. Afterwards, and before Josh began to ask questions, the woman began to cry and said, surprisingly, down there, it doesn't hurt.

She said before declaring the experience is kind of like being a prostitute. She then expressed concern that she had not given the men a good time because the limitation to only a couple of minutes. I feel guilty because many men did not finish. Oh, man, this is awful. They say it's surprising that one of her statements was that she felt pressured because some men had not, you know,

After these words, the documentary filmmaker said, I certainly didn't expect to see Lily so upset at the end of it all. I thought maybe in years she would come to look back on this day with sadness, but not so immediately afterwards. Oh, I could tell you that she'd freak out right away. We got to look at this. She cried.

We have this Twitter thread from Mary Morgan of Pop Culture Crisis. Check it out where she gives her thoughts and breaks it down with some clips. She says, I watched the documentary about Lily Phillips. This was her immediate reaction for hooking up with 100 men in a day. She was feigning excitement for weeks before the stunt in fear of seeming judgment of seeming judgmental. The one and only cardinal sin recognized in modern secular culture. Nobody in Lee's life stopped her from hitting self-destruct.

She will remember the fact that nobody stopped her. Yeah. And she will count that as evidence that she is worth nothing more than being used sexually. Hence her new record breaking goal of 1000 men in a day. This is a veiled suicide attempt. I completely agree. This woman needs help. She's basically just wiped herself out. She's basically given up. It's not for the weak girls. If I'm honest, it was hard.

I don't know if I'd recommend it. Why not? I think if you're a different type of girl, it's very like... It's kind of like being a... in a sense of like, it's just a different feeling. I don't know how to explain it. Like... It's not like just having sex with someone. Yeah, yeah. Just one in, one out. Like, it feels intense. Ugh. Like, more intense than you thought it might. Oh, here comes the crying. Sorry. Just take a... Yeah, one minute. Wow.

I think she needs help. There's no coming back from that. But I am fearful that she may self-harm. I mean that sincerely. Look, man, the shame she's going to get, the criticisms, whatever you want to call it, it's not going to be good for her. And there's a lot more. Take a look at this.

The Sun reports, I've made two million pounds and I've slept with 101 men in 24 hours. I want to be the first person to bed 1000, she says. Really? I agree. This is it's veiled suicide. She looks like she got a bunch of plastic surgery. She looks like she probably has very little self-esteem. It is insane to me that this is what modern digital culture and social media has produced and that she's being propped up.

36,000 OnlyFans subscribers. I wonder what her rate is. She's pulling in hundreds of thousands of dollars a month off that. She advertises online with a picture of herself in a white lace top. 1,000 men in 24 hours. Male talent casting call. 18 only. This is a clip of her crying. Ali London says, OnlyFans model. Okay, I got a different word for that. Lily Phelps breaks down in tears after sleeping with 100 men in one day and filming it to sell online. Ugh.

I think sometimes, like, feeling so, like, robotic. Like, by the, I think, like, the 30th, you know, like, when we're getting on a bit, I've got, like, a routine of, like, how we're going to do this. And, like, it just, sometimes you'd, like, disassociate and be like. Jeez. You know, like, it's not, like, normal things at all. In my head right now, I can think of, like, five, six guys, ten guys I remember. And that's it.

But it's just, I don't know, it's just weird, isn't it? Like, if I didn't, if I didn't have the videos, I wouldn't have known I've done 100, you know? Jeez, man. I think that was kind of the hard part. Well, she's British. And like, I'm sorry, guys, like, you know, I'm a fan of Carl Benjamin. He talks about post-liberalism. I don't know that I completely agree with all of the tenets, but disaffected leaning towards post-liberal perhaps.

These kind of things that come out of liberal culture are not good. And recognizing moral lines and why we have certain restrictions is not bad. You know, look, even in liberal culture, we have laws. Even in liberal culture, we have moral standards. But the idea that we would increasingly erode those standards for something like this makes no sense. But this is the direct ramification of saying, live and let live, you do you.

I still largely lean towards we want that freedom, but I believe we have to bring back shame. And the crazy thing is, I mean, social media, YouTube, they'll punish you depending on the degree of shame you bring about. I mean, they demonetize YouTube channels for shaming people, engaging in dangerous and bad behaviors. This woman is hurting herself physically. I'm not even talking about emotionally and spiritually, but of course that too.

Worse still is the standard this sets for more people. The slippery slope is not a fallacy. It is the incremental changes to a culture over time where things become tolerable to where they become accepted or become ubiquitous or mandatory. Even take, for instance, use technology.

Yeah, crazy, right?

Now, some stores don't even accept cash card only. You have to have it. So I'm not saying that'll go this way. It's going to go that way. But with things like this, depending on how the algorithm supports this with OnlyFans, there's going to be a bunch of young women who should not be doing sex work. And they're going to say, how am I supposed to make money? Can't get a job. Can't compete.

All these women are going to start doing it and more and more are. I don't think it goes the same way as cell phones. I'm not saying that. I'm saying it creates a pressure where a marketplace opens up and then women think to themselves, this is the path towards making money. I mean, the same thing is true with college. College didn't used to be necessary. So only certain people went. Then when they said when our parents and the boomer said, everyone's got to go to college, you get a bunch of people who should not be there in college. And now they regret they have massive debt. They want us to pay it off.

government paid off, taxpayer dollars. I say, let us shame people who do these things. I feel empathy for her. You know, when I say shame someone, it's not because I want to revel in their suffering. It's not schadenfreude. It's because I want people to see you do a bad thing. People will look down on you. You do a good thing. People will look up to you. Be successful and be strong. This this is corruption of Western culture in the most negative way possible. So I ask,

I ask the the classical liberals explain to me how society survives with the exacerbation of things like this. Instagram, where young girls are depressed and harming themselves. Gender ideology. All of these things, the self-harm is emerging from these ideologies. Explain to me how you deal with it. I mean, I'm sure they have an answer. I'm not saying they don't. Smash the like button.

This is massive breaking news. A drone mothership from Iran stationed off the U.S. East Coast launching sophisticated surveillance drones, at least we presume to be surveillance, over New Jersey and Delaware. And the first thing I want to say is let's wait to see. I mean, this sounds pretty crazy. This could be one of the most.

massive security failure for the United States, for all, I guess, agencies across the board who should be monitoring this stuff. The fact that we've had the story going on for several weeks now and no answers. We now have Congressman Jeff Fandrew of New Jersey saying it's an Iranian mothership launching drones. He goes on to mention something about potentially them being shot down. Now, we do have another story.

From NJ.com, more than 3,000 mystery drone sightings reported to the FBI. Understand that 3,000 sightings could be one drone. One drone goes up, 3,000 people see it, they report it. It's not that 3,000 drones are flying through the air. But I want to be careful on this one because to me, the idea that Iran somehow got a mothership off our eastern coast and was able to launch these drones seems silly, right?

But I could be wrong. This very well could be Iran. Now, some are saying it's just war propaganda to get us involved in a conflict with Iran. But at the same time, we are and Iran has reason to do these things. Iran threatened to kill Donald Trump. Some people are telling, you know, look, guys, guys.

Do you want me to be a conspiracy theorist? I'm not. You want me to draw conclusions? I don't do it. What makes this show good, largely, in my opinion, is that I don't try to draw conclusions unless I have strong evidence. Sometimes I do, but I try not to. Right. So I say like with the Covington kids, for instance, I didn't immediately just jump out and say, look how awful that kid is. I said, well, show me what happened. I don't get it. Let's say this. The U.S. does want conflict with Iran.

Iran is already in conflict, funding proxies, killing American servicemen or bombing them, causing problems all across the Middle East. We know this. They've been attacking Israel. I'm not saying that war is one fault. I'm just saying this is literally happening. So Iran does have an interest in surveilling the East Coast, especially where Trump lives. Now, some people have said to me, Tim, do you really believe that if someone tried to kill Trump, it was Iran? Come on. Yes. I mean, guys.

You can certainly have your beliefs and your doubts and your faith and all those things. I'm not telling you you're wrong. I'm saying from where I stand, we know that Trump killed Soleimani and many libertarians and anti-war people criticize them over this. Iran has vowed revenge. So, yeah, I can make the assumption that Iran would make an attempt on Trump's life, especially fearing what happens if Trump gets in versus what happens if Biden were to stay in or Kamala Harris.

Trump is going to go hard and he's going to support Israel. Iran's got a strong interest in stopping him before that happens. So hopefully this is taken care of. Let me play this clip for you from Fox News. In focus now, Republican Congressman Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, member of the House Judiciary Committee on the Hill right now. How do you how do you address this at this point?

Well, here's the real deal, Harris. You know, I'm also on the Transportation Committee, on the Aviation Subcommittee, and I've gotten to know people. And from very high sources, very qualified sources, very responsible sources, I'm going to tell you the real deal. Iran launched a mothership probably about a month ago that contains these drones. That mothership is off—I'm going to tell you the deal. It's off the east coast of the United States of America.

They've launched drones. Everything that we can see or hear. And again, these are from high sources. I don't say this lightly. I want to add to this, too. What the people reporting the sightings are saying is that they have lights and are trackable, but.

People will often look at them or point cameras and the lights shut off right away. Now, you know, we know there was a probability it could have been our own government. We know it's not our own government because they would have let us know. It could have been some really glorified hobbyist or hobbyist that were doing something unbelievable. They don't have the technology. But let's pretend that's possible. The third possibility was somebody in adversarial country doing this. Know that.

Iran made a deal with China to purchase drones, motherships and technology in order to go forward. The sources I have are good. They can't reveal who they are because they are speaking to me in confidentiality. These drones should be shot down.

whether it was some crazy hobbyist that we can't imagine or whether it is Iran, and I think it very possibly could be, they should be shot down. We are not getting the full deal. And the military is on alert with this. Look, you've given us some pretty dire information just here, and I want to make sure that our viewers are digesting this.

I'm going to pause real quick. You cannot shoot drones down, man. We had instances where people have flown drones over our studio. And, yo, it is it is brutal because how do you track back who's flying the drone, who's spying on you or delivering a weapon? You're you're not legally allowed to shoot and you can't fire a gun into the air.

If you attack a drone, they're protected under the FAA. This is crazy. I'm telling you, if a drone flies anywhere near our property, I'm going to assume it's laden with a bomb or a weapon, and we're going to take appropriate measures. Now, fortunately for the crew here at Timcast, we are particularly science savvy. In fact, we have been able to build millimeter wave weapons. Not literally, but like magnetron guns. You ever see those things on the hacker? You know, you make the little microwave thing. And we know what we're doing.

And so we have means. But more importantly, I would never suggest that anybody here build something to go after drones. We have security companies that can handle that stuff and they can scramble a drone and bring them down safely. Now, I take issue personally with this idea that we have no countermeasures for these drones. Well, look, I understand why you're saying shoot them down, but you can't because of the bullets come back.

has the capability to pull up along our eastern seaboard and launch drones the size of an SUV into the skies of several states, particularly New Jersey, where we know the incoming president has a large home, also in the same county or nearby where some of these drones in New Jersey have been seen. Size of an SUV? That capability exists. It's possible some of those drones are here. So I have two questions.

How are they fueling them? They have to land somewhere. Drones don't fly forever. Why don't they close down the airspace? Yes, it's inconvenient. Yes, it's the holidays. Shut it down. But if you start shooting things and you don't know how they're fueled, that's going to be mass explosions. This isn't like a spy balloon. Maybe. Congressman, this is. They're likely going to be using some kind of lithium ion or depending on the size, it could be a lithium polymer battery. Lithium. I'm not an expert on this. I just general hobbyist.

Um, I, we've done a lot of work with drones, lithium polymer batteries, I believe is what they tend to use. I could be wrong, uh, because they have a faster discharge rate, which you need a high energy output for flight. And, uh, uh,

Those could explode. Lithium, when exposed to oxygen, starts to heat up. And so you've ever seen those videos where they puncture a cell phone battery? Those are lithium ion batteries and they spray fire. Yeah, I doubt they're going to be powered by any kind of fuel, but they very well could be. Helicopters fly. They use standard fuel, right? I don't think they use gasoline. They might use kerosene or jet fuel or whatever that is. But we'll play a little bit more. Sirius.

We've got to bring them down, and we've got to find a way to bring them down. I don't know exactly where they're landing, obviously. I have some information. And again, this isn't just Jeff and Andrew, oh, let's get on Harris-Faulkner's show and say something outrageous. I'm telling you a straight deal from very high-positioned individuals who are telling me this.

And the bottom line is they're launching them. They are across the country. We don't even have anything like this. Across the country. Our government and also certainly our hobbyists don't. So think about it. Not only do I have the information, but it's also common sense. We've got to get them down. We've got to determine how they function, what they do, make sure that we can get them. And you're right.

in a safe way. When I say shoot them down, get them down any way that you can. But right now, they're probably extracting information. This is a clear and present danger to the United States and to our president elect. And it's a serious business. So we have this story from NJ. They say federal investigators have received more than 3000 reports of drone sightings. I think the issue is that when they say drones, you're imagining this little thing, but she's saying as large as SUVs.

We don't know the people responsible behind that. And that's what we're working on. So I'll be I'll be careful right now. I mean, Jeff Fendrew is saying he's got sources. He's in Congress and that they believe it's Iran launching a mothership, which then fires these drones off and they go back and they refuel or whatever. I don't know. And we got to be careful because that that could be an act of war.

The mysterious appearance of what appear to be drones in New Jersey's night sky is unsettled residents and flummoxed local officials. Since the first sightings last month, drones have been spotted in more than a dozen counties, including as far south as Camden and as parts of the Jersey Shore. In recent days, drones have also been reported over the border in New York and Pennsylvania. Drone warfare is going to blow your mind. These things are flying around. Look at this. Rep. Chris Smith said at a hearing he was told a Coast Guard boat off Jersey Shore was followed by between 12 and 30 of these drones that went through the water.

Through the water as they went to the water, the drones. I was like, what? What if one of these things is armed and they're just waiting for a target? What if their target could be Trump? I don't know why the U.S. is tolerating this. Drones can be taken down safely and easily using a variety of techniques. Jamming is the easiest one. Scramble their controls. Now, they may be on preset paths, but you can scramble the GPS. There are ways to do it.

The simplest thing is probably wait for a clearing and then use a net. But this is the challenge with drones and aerial objects like this, is that when they come down, they hit whatever's on the ground. So it's tough to deal with. But if it is Iran, I fear what comes next, because that could be war.
