我认为对民主党代表因袭击ICE设施外的联邦官员而被刑事指控是适当的,并且撤销对市长的非法入侵指控是合理的。我对市长非法入侵指控的质疑源于对事件经过的分析,特别是对执法部门行为的质疑。国土安全部发布的视频中存在的剪辑让我担忧,这可能掩盖了逮捕市长的真实原因。我认为对1月6日事件中未收到警告的人员进行非法入侵指控是不合理的,并赞同撤销对市长的非法入侵指控。我会反复播放民主党人袭击ICE和执法人员的视频,以证明我的观点。我认为LaMonica McIver应该因袭击联邦执法人员而被判入狱。我不认同左派对警察的普遍仇恨,强调不应袭击警察。我认为McIver应该因袭击警察而被判入狱。我质疑检察官为何试图与McIver达成协议,认为她应该受到法律的充分制裁。我解释了“审判税”的概念,并认为McIver应该面临审判税。我认为McIver可能会为了政治目的而利用被捕事件。我同意撤销对Ras Baraka的轻罪指控,因为没有提供他非法侵入的证据。我批评《纽约时报》歪曲事实,并展示了McIver袭击警察的视频。我认为McIver应该被判刑,但由于政治原因,在新泽西州可能无法获得公正的审判。

Democratic Rep. Mick Iver, who closed fist punched a federal officer outside an ICE facility, is being criminally charged over the incident. We have the story from the New York Times. Rep. Mick Iver charged with assault over clash outside Newark ICE Center. The Department of Justice also announced it was dropping a trespassing charge against the city's mayor, Ross Baraka, stemming from the same episode. And I completely agree with this.

I think that the charges they're bringing are appropriate. I believe the dropping of the trespass charges are appropriate. I even challenged the trespass charge when the story broke. Let me break it down for you exactly what happened. Several members of Congress, activists, as well as the mayor of Newark, went to an ICE facility. They went inside. This is a lot of people seem to think they fought their way inside. No, no.

They went inside and the ICE agents told the mayor he could not be there because he was not a member of Congress who was scheduled for a meeting. They then told him, we're giving you a warning. It's your last warning. You have to go. The video they put out then cuts and it shows the mayor leaving. Here's the issue I have with it. If they gave him a final warning and he refuses to

Why then exit the facility to go arrest him? Where's the footage of what happened after that? So my concern is the DHS put out this video. And if they really did have him saying, no, I refuse to leave your warning means nothing or something like that, they would have arrested him right there on the spot.

The fact that there's a jump cut in the body camera footage, he's then walking outside and then they go arrest him. Has me wondering how they get him on trespass. And I'm going to tell you this. I have been consistent on this one. Same thing with the J Sixers. The J Sixers who went to the Capitol after the riots are on the other side of the building and didn't know what was going on. Could not have been trespassing because there was no signs. There was no warnings. There was just a big open field and open door in an otherwise public building.

They still tried getting on trespass. So with this being dropped, I say, yep,

They're going to be hard pressed to prove it in court. Now, when they went to arrest Ras Baraka, these Democrats physically attacked ICE and other law enforcement. Don't believe me? I will play this footage, this footage till the end of days, my friends. I will play this footage over and over again. There's one strike. Watch this. All right. Check it out. You're going to see a fist come up. This is Rhett McIver.

There's the fist. Slam. I wonder who she's hitting. Honestly, I don't know who she's hitting. Boom. She's hitting somebody. Closed fist slam. Now here's... Wait, hold on. I said she closed fist punched a guy. She does. Watch. Right there. Closed fist punch on a federal law enforcement officer. Boom. Boom.

Play it back. Play it as many times as you need to do it. That lady should be in jail. OK, and what do you get for assaulting an officer? Six months? Well, I don't know. Let's go ask our friends, the J-6ers, how long they had to spend in prison in solitary confinement for their assault on an officer. You shouldn't hit cops. OK, listen, the idea that these left leftists have that they hate all the cops and they're like cops are bad, therefore. No, no, no, no, no.

Sometimes criminals are bad. And it doesn't matter if they're wearing a badge or otherwise. But your average run-of-the-mill cop is doing a job. And sometimes they do it poorly. But a cop doing a poor job is not a cop being evil or a cop being corrupt. It just means they suck at their job and it's hassling you. You don't hit them for it. In fact, you don't hit anybody for hassling you. Seriously. You defend yourself when you have to defend yourself or defend others. Now, in this instance, this lady hit...

Several cops. She's shoving them. She's punching them. And she's striking someone with a close fist slam. I don't know. And so I say in that regard, ma'am, you should go to jail. The New York Times reports.

The DOJ charged a New Jersey congresswoman with assaulting federal agents during a clash outside a Newark immigration detention center and dropped a trespass charge. Alina Haba, the interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey, disclosed the move in an expose on a post on X saying the congresswoman, LaMonica McIver, has been charged for assaulting, impeding and interfering with law enforcement when she visited the detention center with two other Democratic members of Congress from New Jersey.

No one is above the law. Politicians are otherwise, Ms. Haba said in a statement. It is the job of this office to uphold justice impartially regardless of who you are. Now we will let the justice system work. She added that she had sought a resolution without bringing criminal charges, but that Ms. McIver had declined. You know, I just, why? Honest question to Alina Haba. Why? What resolution did you want to get? They want to be arrested. They want to be charged. Give it to them. I don't even understand why they're trying to cut deals.

In a statement on Monday, Ms. McIver blamed federal law enforcement for instigating the clash, saying that ICE agents created an unnecessary and unsafe confrontation. I want this lady to face—we call this the trial tax. You guys know what the trial tax is? Let me explain. Let's say you're innocent. Let's say you're at a bar and a fight breaks out. No cameras, and you're minding your own business. And the cops come in, and they're like, all right, we're arresting everybody who was involved in this fight.

And someone goes, it was that guy. I swear it was that guy. And you're like, hey, man, I had nothing to do. It's like, sir, you're under arrest. They arrest you. They bring you in. And you're like, man, I didn't do anything. You call a lawyer and they say, well, you know, they're offering you a plea deal. They're going to say simple assault, disorderly conduct. You'll do one week or two, you know, one week in lockup. And you're like, what? I didn't do anything. I want a trial. I want a jury trial. They say, okay. The prosecutor then tells your lawyer, if you go to trial,

We're going to we're going to go for the maximum penalty. We're going to try and get you six months in jail. We're going to tell them that you're unrepentant. That's called the trial tax. And their justification is when you go to trial and say I'm innocent and are convicted, they go clearly he's unremorseful and needs additional penalties. The real reason is they don't want to spend the resources. If every single person.

who was criminally charged, demanded a jury trial, the system would implode. That's it. It would be over. No joke. Literally over. I'm going to stress this again. You were entitled to a jury trial for everything, even petty offenses. If every single person said, I want a jury trial, and they said, okay, you have to do it.

The system would be backlogged for years. And that's it. They'd be violating your right to a speedy trial if they held you at that point. The system is broken. They rely on plea agreements to shuffle everybody through as fast as possible. So this lady deserves a trial tax. She says, I ain't taking no deals. Okay. Then you get criminal charges. Now, I do think she'll take some plea agreement because she's going to be shaking in her boots. But knowing these Democrats, I believe there's a strong probability as well

She's going to say this is fantastic. Getting criminally charged by the Trump administration for while fighting for criminal MS-13 gang members. She's not going to say it like that.

But she's going to say getting arrested by Trump, man, you could not you could not pray. You cannot wish for a more perfect scenario for a Democrat whose sole position is Trump is bad. If the only thing they have to offer the American people is we don't like Trump getting arrested by Trump. Exactly what you could be hoping for.

Hey, everybody, let's go back to the tape. Roll tape. Boom. Here's her punching a cop.

I think it might be HSI, not ice. I'm not sure. I think it's ice. You can't really see. It's kind of grainy. So now that y'all have seen a video that I say appears as it is grainy, but that looks like Monica LaMonica McIver punching a cop purely. You see the game she's playing. She's leaning into it. She wants it. Miss Habba also announced that she had dismissed a misdemeanor charge for Ras Baraka. And again, they didn't show the body camera footage explaining how he trespassed. So I'm actually I agree with this.

In a statement, Mr. Baraka welcomed the dropping of the charges, saying he would continue to advocate for the humane treatment of detainees. Ms. McIver and two other lawmakers, Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman and Robin Eddas, have pushed back against Trump administration's contention that the legislators stormed into the detention center. They did. The federal government's narrative has also been contradicted by video footage and by witnesses who are at the scene. This is amazing. You see how they gaslight and they lie? Let's let's let's three. Look at this.

What video footage do they have contradicting this? Isn't this crazy that the New York Times is lying? I'm sorry, man. I'm sorry. I just showed you the video how many times of lawmakers? Look at this lady. She's shoving cops. She punches cops. And they're like, it's contradicted by video footage. And when you click, when you click the link, where's video footage? Where is it? It's not even here. These people are evil. They are evil. These people are evil, man.

The link does not claim to show what they claim it does. And they do this with the link so that because they know the average person, if they're going to skim through it, they're not going to rate it. They're not going to click the link. They're going to assume it's there. And then when you go, it ain't there. I do this. I deal with this every single day from these scumbags. Every single day. I'm always tracking down the source material. I say, show me the video that proves that in Stormin, because I got a video showing her shoving cops and punching cops.

Okay, fine. No, no. No, no. They're not saying she didn't try to storm her way in. They're saying she did not storm her way in. The federal government's narrative has been contradicted by video footage and by witnesses. Is that a joke? This is at DHS.gov with 2.4 million followers posting the video of her punching federal law enforcement. This is what evil looks like. This is the manipulation tactic. And look at this. What do we have here? What's this video?

Edited body camera footage released. Let's follow this. Released by the DHS, appears to rep LaMonica McIver pushing law enforcement officers. How much you want to bet they're not going to show the punch? Let's see what you got. There she's shoving them. There she is shoving them. Yeah. The footage captured by a bystander from a different angle appears to show McIver was also being shoved from behind. That's the lie. That's the lie. Look at these people, dude. She's not being shoved from behind.

You can clearly see the dude behind her has got his hands and he's not putting his hands on her. And there she is. She's shoving these guys. Man, these people are scumbags. There she goes, shoving this guy. This is wild. No. So listen.

Take a look around her in this video. Nobody is behind her shoving her. She's shoving into this cop. She's shoving into them right now to storm her way in. That's amazing. And they write. How is this possible? The New York Times writes the opposite of what happened. I showed you the video. There's the video. I'm not going to play the video again, okay? Actually, no. I said I would play it to the end of days. Here you go. Here's her punching a cop. Punch. Punch.

One more time, baby. Boom, right in the arm. I didn't say she was strong. I didn't say she injured the guy. I said she punched a cop. She did. They say footage from a body worn camera shot by Fox News show the lawmakers and a group of officers outside the facility's fence. At one point, Ms. McIver appears to make contact with law enforcement officers wearing fatigues in a face mask. Second video, blah, blah, blah, the incident said she had been shoved by officers. I they're just so evil, dude. It's just it's the epitome of evil.

Look at this. There's a cop right here, but he's not within arm's reach of her. This guy right here is not shoving her. Now watch this. Here she is shoving into that cop. She's not trying to leave. There she goes again. Now watch this. She's got her hands on this guy's chest. She shoves him. This cop right here is trying to pull her back.

You can see this cop right here with the mask. He's grabbing her arms. He's pulling her back. What does she do? She pulls back and shoves him in the offices again. Insane. Lock her up.

Show this to a jury. But you know what the problem is? They're going to have it in New Jersey and they're going to say, yeah, we don't care. She's free to go. This is the problem. Forum shopping. They're going to go to the, they're going to choose a venue. They're going to challenge the venue and the people in Jersey. You're not going to get a fair trial because this is political. I want to see him arrested. I'm sick of this stuff. I'm sick of the lies. I'm going to wrap it up there. My friend smashed the like button, share the show with everyone, you know, follow me on X and Instagram at Tim cast. Thanks for hanging out. We'll see you on the next segment.

There's been a lot of talk about magnetic pole shifts in the past few months. And the reason why is a series of high profile viral interviews that have been taking place, notably Tucker Carlson's show with Catherine Austin Fitz, who said that the U.S. government has spent somewhere around $21 trillion on deep underground military bases. She says they are fearing an extinction event of some sort, maybe a pole shift. Really interesting.

Power outage in Puerto Rico, the power outage in Spain, Portugal and France. Now, there's a lot of reasons why that may have happened. Sometimes the power goes out. The story at the time was that and it's only a couple of weeks ago, mind you. It was a high altitude vibration of some sort which triggered the frequency change. I don't exactly know what they were saying. I'm not one of those guys who studies this stuff. But they basically said an unusual atmospheric phenomenon caused a problem in the system which triggered a failsafe shutting the whole thing down. They had to reboot it.

How does that happen? Well, I did an interview with a guy, Ben Davidson, and he said it's not that there's solar storms. It's that Earth's magnetosphere is weakening as a pole shift is about to occur. Now, according to mainstream science, and I don't mean that to be disrespectful to science. I'm not saying it's like wrong. I'm saying according to the official scientific understanding, pole shifts do happen. Not that big a deal. And it happens once every 800,000 years or so.

However, there are people who believe that a pole shift will occur every 6,500 years. And along with it, the planet itself will spin. I have no idea. And I don't necessarily believe that. Don't know for sure. What I can tell you is we are increasingly getting more information about this. And you can believe whatever you want to believe. I bring up these prominent viral stories because that's the narrative people are sharing. And it's going viral. The Adam and Eve narrative. The concern over these deep underground military bases. Maybe. I don't know. Maybe not.

I have no idea. What I can say is there are numerous stories popping up about a pole shift occurring, the magnetosphere weakening, strange occurrences related to cell outages, solar storms, etc. This story from this morning. Major mobile network suffers massive outage in Spain weeks after electricity blackout.

Why? Why link those stories? I mean, the cell phone stopped working. Who cares? Well, we recently had a major solar flare and they said it could disrupt communications. So maybe that's what's happening. Or I had a conversation with Ben Davidson and he's like the space weather guy. And he said it's not the solar flares. The magnetosphere above Spain has weakened a little bit. And this means normal solar activity is now penetrating closer to the surface of the Earth.

Our magnetosphere is basically this big magnetic field around the Earth that repels solar dust and radiation and things like this. And if it weakens, more of that will hit the Earth where we are on the surface. I don't know that it's true, but here's the story. Independent reports a nationwide phone network has shut down in Spain just weeks after blackouts brought chaos.

Emergency services in a number of regions had to provide new telephone numbers to those in need after phone lines collapsed following network upgrades by Telefonica. Landline telephones were the worst affected, blah, blah, blah. Telefonica said, we have done some network upgrade work which has affected some companies' fixed communication services. So let's just pause. You mean to tell me technical error and they're running this headline? You see the game they play? That's why I'm skeptical. That's why I am a skeptical person. Okay? Okay.

When people start coming out and putting these headlines out there, I also want to add this. Do you believe them? That's the challenge. The challenge is if there really was going to be a major catastrophe related to a magnetic pole shift that like destroys life as we know it. Maybe the earth doesn't shift, but all our electronics are fried overnight. Would they tell you?

I had a meeting, an interview with Secretary Duffy, Sean Duffy, Transportation Secretary. He handles aircraft, the waterways, the railways, the roads. People do not understand the importance of transportation because it's a crummy name. Secretary of Transportation, nobody cares. They want to know about defense and offense and war. And we put out interview requests. And I said, I want to talk to Duffy because the drone sightings, the plane crashes, the train derailments.

They're saying there's drones in water, the UFOs. He's the guy. But it's crazy to me because people hear this and they're like, I don't care about transport. It like goes over their head. They don't care. Right now, everything that we're seeing is affecting our skies, our roads, our rails, our transportation. If there really is going to be something like this, it's going to be affecting all of these issues. And people ignore it. They want to hear about defense.

Well, magnetic shield over North America is losing strength exceptionally fast. PLA scientists. I don't know that I trust China, mind you. But I have to wonder about what we're seeing and what's going on. The reason why I brought up Secretary Duffy is that he told me, as it pertained to the UAPs, UFOs, if we really knew what these were and it was something scary, it would freak people out. Do you really want to know? Yeah, I do. Here's the problem. If they told you the truth and it broke the economy, we're screwed.

You know, I watch these movies, right? And then a meteor is going to hit the earth and they got to send a team of oil rig drillers to an asteroid to drill a bomb into it and blow it up. And then Ben Affleck famously is like, why not just teach astronauts to drill instead of drillers to be astronauts? Isn't that easier? And they're like, shut up. What would happen if we needed to build an arc or a bomb? Let's say the U.S. military says whatever is happening with this disaster is

We need everybody working 110% so we can build the tools we need to survive this. Now let's go tell everybody the world is ending. What would happen? Bro, if you told everybody the world was ending, truck drivers would stop driving. People would stop working. They'd go and be with their loved ones. And it's crazy because you know what always bothered me? When I was younger, I'd be in like a skate contest, skateboarding, and I would get nervous.

And nervous wasn't really, I don't know if it was the right word because mentally I was not, I was prepared, but my heart rate would start going and I'd be like, this is screwing me up. What is wrong with you? You stupid body. Stop freaking out. We know how to skate. We know what to do. We're going to do what we always do. But if you get nervous, we're going to screw it up. That's the same thing.

We know what to do. We know how to do it. But if everybody knows and they panic and they stop doing what needs to be done, we can't accomplish what we can, what humans beings have the capability to do. This is my concern about all these stories happening and them not telling us the truth because they're not going to. Millionaires and billionaires, they're building bunkers, deep underground bunkers. We know for a fact they're doing it. Why? I said it before. I'll say it again. If there was going to be a massive shockwave, solar storm or pole shift that's going to destroy us,

our grid, cause massive flooding, what do we need? We need underground bases, and we need solar and wind electrical generation capabilities. There's not going to be any way to transport oil or pump it. Now, they can build pumps and have them ready to go, and there are probably areas that have that ready, but what if you're in an area that doesn't have access to oil? Wind. And the ability to put up those wind turbines and get that power generated quick, solar as well. Hey, what have we been building like crazy? Ain't that something?

This story is interesting. This is from a few months ago. China is claiming the North American magnetosphere is weakening. Really? I don't know, man. I don't know. Study finds. This is studyfinds.org. Earth's magnetic field once collapsed. Humans survived. Here's how. We got a force field.

We have an actual force field. Now, at the poles is where it's weakest because the shields are going out, you know, in all those other directions except for the poles. It's kind of crazy. You know, they put it in two dimensions here, but in three dimensions, more like, you know, a donut. Maybe not a donut, a pumpkin. Like a pumpkin. There you go. 41,000 years ago, Earth's magnetic field weakened to just 10%, causing auroras to appear globally. Do you guys remember when, let me find this, the aurora over West Virginia? Yeah.

October. Oh, this website's down. Come on. Here we go. WVVA. Yo, this was crazy. The aurora hits in areas where the menu sphere is weak. And this is an image of the Northern Lights in West Virginia. West Virginia is not particularly north, you know. In fact, West Virginia used to be part of a southern state, Virginia. So it's kind of in the middle. That was kind of crazy. But hey, hey, sometimes it happens, right? Sometimes it happens.

They say, during the Lashem's excursion, Earth's magnetic field weakened just 10% of its current strength, while the magnetic poles shifted dramatically away from the geographic poles. The excursion lasted 2,000 years. Using advanced computer modeling, research team reconstructed Earth's magnetosphere. Magnetic field also transformed from a simple north-south configuration to a complex arrangement with multiple magnetic poles scattered around the planet.

Very interesting. Now, I don't know what that means or what's going to happen, man. Don't look at me. ScienceAlert.com says NASA is watching a huge growing anomaly in Earth's magnetic field from March of this year. What do I know, man? I'm just some dude who reads the stuff on the Internet. And for all I know, ain't nothing to be worried about. A lot of people say, dude, these things happen all the time and people are hyping it up to freak you out. Some people are hyper focused on these things and they believe it's happening because to a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Maybe. I don't know.

I don't just ignore things for that reason. And so for me, I got emergency food and water because sometimes it rains. You know, it's fascinating. People don't prepare for the worst. Now, we don't have like Faraday cages set up or anything like that. But I do know people who have dug holes, lined it in, you know, Faraday materials, metals that can absorb EMF.

placed a microwave inside of it, because a microwave is also a Faraday cage, and then placed a laptop and a phone inside that microwave and then sealed it. The idea being they want to protect electronics in the event there is a solar storm that fries all of our components. It'll be interesting. You know, I ain't no scientist or nothing like that, but I just say a water-lined box, water absorbs and blocks EMF.

Faraday cages, basically. It's a metal box. Or you can make a Faraday suit. And so the currents travel through it and around it and not inside it. I have friends who actually do work with EMF. So they have Faraday cages for actual research purposes, not for doomsday purposes. And you have your phone out. You walk inside. Phone stops working. It's pretty crazy. I asked my buddy, who has a massive Faraday cage you can walk inside. And I said, is this going to protect your gear if there's like a solar storm? He's like, no way. It's like...

Yeah, it can absorb a lot, but a solar, massive solar storm and a weakening of the sphere is going to penetrate. You would need like three layers. You would need a Faraday cage, a smaller Faraday cage floating inside, a smaller cage, and then a microwave in the middle with your stuff inside. Buried underground and then put in a concrete block, put it in the ground and then dump water all around it. Maybe then you'll protect it. Probably not. But it's interesting. What's interesting is this.

Mobile network suffers massive outage in Spain weeks after electricity blackout. Why combine those? Simply, clickbait. I wouldn't have clicked on this story. People wouldn't, right? If they just said a mobile network did an upgrade and the phones went out, nobody cares. But then the question people are going to have is, do you believe them? Maybe the lines went out for some other reason. To be fair, other companies would have gone down as well. So probably just more hubbub. It's fun though. You know, I got to admit,

I don't want to be sensational on this story, but I really enjoy reading about this stuff because there's something about it that's so fascinating. I'll leave it there. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. Thanks for hanging out. We'll see you all in the next segment. Katy Perry is cooked. You know who she is, of course. She was a massive pop star for like 15 years or so, but now she's fizzled out.

Her last album bombed miserably. She's being fired from Vegas. Nobody wants to watch her residency. Her tour is bombing. And now she's got some, I think it's a stunt. Her bra popped off on her show. But I don't really care all that much about Katy Perry. I care to talk about two things.

The development of decentralized media and the lack of human beings. Now, the first thing I'll say is we're all bored by woke pop garbage. Katy Perry put out this song called Woman's World where she's Rosie the Riveter and we all threw up in our mouths a little bit. Yeah, nobody wanted to watch that and so they didn't. And it bombed miserably. Her last album doesn't even appear on her YouTube page because the views are so low. Now, I mean like when you look at the popular songs, it's crazy how many big hits she had and now she's gone. But I'll tell you why.

There's two big reasons. Decentralization of media allows people to find whatever songs they want. So centralized pop stars are waning. Beyonce reportedly had trouble selling tickets as well. They were reporting that she was selling tickets for like 20 bucks. Stadiums couldn't sell them out. The response we got from a lot of people was, yeah, yeah, yeah. But hold on. Hold on. Sabrina Carpenter is a big star and she's selling out, right? She's selling out arenas. Smart move.

Sabrina Carpenter, of course, a big pop star. Not as many people are familiar with her as they are, say, Katy Perry.

But ain't nobody listening to Katy Perry no more. Sabrina Carpenter had that big hit, Espresso. And she had a couple others. But she's doing arenas, which could be 10,000 seats, maybe 20,000 if it's big. Whereas stadiums could be like 60 to 90,000. Katy Perry, Beyonce, and some of these big stars, Taylor Swift, they used to sell these out. They're not doing it so much anymore. And I'm going to tell you why. It's not just decentralization of media. There's no kids. There's no babies anymore.

Gen Alpha is 40 million people. And that means up like zero to 10 years old, I think, or like maybe 13 years old. What are they doing? They're saying it's from 2012. So like 13 year olds, that's Gen Alpha, only 40 million. Yo, it's wild, man. People are always asking, like, what happened to the McDonald's play place? People don't have kids. They used to put the play place in the McDonald's because parents were like, what are we going to do with the kids? Well, we go to McDonald's to get food. They can play in the playground while we eat.

And we'll keep an eye on them, but they'll play and do their thing. Nobody has kids anymore, so they stopped building it. How come pizza doesn't have family restaurants anymore? Remember the old pizza? You'd go in there and there was a booket and there was the salad bar. People don't have kids anymore. So the market is adapting. It's becoming more expensive to have kids because there's less services provided because people don't have kids. And then you got no young people to go to these shows. The other thing I'll mention, too, is it's kind of wild to me. There's two thoughts here.

Have we really, has there ever been a fall off of a pop star so big, so quickly? I mean, maybe. Did bands ever really last that long? Why would anybody want to go see Katy Perry? She's like a millennial pop star. Gen Z's not going to be as interested in that. Here's where it gets crazy. I made some predictions. Maybe my predictions were wrong, but I'm standing by them still to a certain degree. Because Beyonce is actually selling tickets and a lot of them are going for like a hundred bucks, so she's still there.

They did the Super Bowl a couple years ago, and it was like Eminem and other 90s stars, and people were like, yo, it's millennials. Here's what I think is going to happen. I think Katy Perry flopped miserably because she's not good. The latest stuff she put out is cringe woke garbage or Rosie the Riveter. Nobody wanted to watch. But I do believe we're going to see this phenomenon where millennials are a bigger generation. Millennial and Gen Z is bigger than Gen Alpha.

Meaning that whole joke from the Simpsons where Abe is like, I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. And now what it is is scary to me. And it'll happen to you. It's not going to happen. Gen Alpha and Gen Z are not big enough demographics to fund these big stadium and arena tours. However, it will be fleeting as well. Millennials don't care to go see old Katy Perry garbage. They're starting to have kids now. So there's this weird gap.

I don't know what millennials are doing, to be honest. Maybe they're just broke and they can't afford houses. But the money ain't with Gen Z. So here's where I think I was wrong. I thought what was going to happen is that they were going to keep pandering to millennials and not introduce new celebrity stars because the younger generation doesn't have. Let me put it this way.

If you want to sell at a venue, let's say you have a thousand seats. You can book Eminem or you can book WizWares Superflame. And you're going to be like, I don't know who WizWares is. Eminem, everybody knows. Your marketing guy is going to be like, listen, WizWares, he's like the biggest Gen Alpha star right now. And you're going to go, okay, well, there's only 40 million Gen Alpha. So if I want to sell out, why don't I go to a bigger market?

You know, look, if you want to start an ice cream company that makes broccoli-flavored ice cream, you got to ask yourself, what's my market share? Well, the share of people who would eat broccoli and asparagus-flavored ice cream is probably real small. There's a company that makes mustard ice cream. I'm not joking. And people buy it as a gag. I can't imagine they're making money hand over fist. Chocolate. Chocolate, on the other hand, man, that sells nonstop. That's like the flavor, right? Chocolate and vanilla. Vanilla is probably the best because people use that as a base. So let's say you're a venue and you're like, listen,

There's 80 million millennials, 80 million Gen Z. They all know Eminem. Gen Z less so. Millennials more so. Now this Gen Z star, Wiz Waz, millennials have no idea who he is. So if we want to sell tickets, we got to go with Eminem. Duh. He's a bigger star. So this means it's going to be very difficult for younger celebrities to emerge and younger pop stars to get a footing. Sabrina Carpenter, as I mentioned, is big, but she's doing arenas.

She's at her prime right now. She's doing arenas. She's getting massive play. Arenas. That's really good. But that ain't stadiums. Metallica used to do stadiums. They still kind of do. This is my point. There's a lot of bands that are still big. Metallica, for instance, still doing stadiums and doing well. Beyonce's still doing well. When the younger stars aren't doing so well. They're not doing as big. There's not enough people to buy into it. So here's what I see happening. So Katy Perry. This is the story. I mean, I told you it basically. She got fired from her residency.

Her ticket sales were garbage. She's gone. She's got this wardrobe malfunction. This is a story that I saw where I was like, yeah, let's bring this up. Basically, like, her bra... Ah, jeez. Her bra... She's 40, by the way. Her bra popped off, and she was like, oh, no, and I think she did it on purpose. I think it was a stunt. I think they intentionally made it so that her bra would pop off and she'd get press. Yo...

This is a wild scenario. I went to her YouTube channel and I started looking for her most popular songs. 11 years ago, she had Roar. All these Dark Horse, Last Friday Night. These have billions, billions of views. That's crazy. She's got eight songs over 1 billion views. Yo, but where's her new music? Hot and Cold, 16 years ago, 1.3 billion years.

She's got Bon Appetit, 1.3 billion, eight years ago. That's not that long ago. We're talking 2017. I mean, time's flying. A lot of her real big songs, of course, were a while ago. But she's got some big hits from the past few years, seven, eight years. Five years ago, 183 million views. Ain't bad. Five years ago, 160 million. Six years ago, 157 million. So it wasn't as big as her billion hits, but she was still a pop star.

All of her songs from like seven, eight years ago did decently well with hundreds of millions of views. Yo, where's her latest songs? I ain't kidding. I'm scrolling. This is all of her popular songs. I'm scrolling down. I can't find them. Nine months ago. There it is. Lifetimes. There we go. Okay. Nine months ago. Yo, this bitch got 13 million views. Hey, ain't bad. 13 million. But I kind of want to point out from a lady who was getting billions. Yo, um.

We put out a song that got like 10 million views. Tim Gass, that's a gag. You know, whatever. We got it for different reasons. We're not pop stars or anything. We put out a gag video. Women's World, 20 million views 10 months ago. Yo, that's miserably bad. 10 months ago. Nobody wanted it. Take a look. This is funny. Them. With Women's World, Katy Perry tries unsuccessfully to escape from the 2010s. And she did not succeed.

They said that she's been teasing or perhaps threatening the general public with her single for weeks. Wow, they hate her. She's Rosie the Riveter getting half a dozen jade rollers in the face. Sure, because everything in Perry's world feels forced. There's a shot of two guys kissing for no apparent reason. Woke pop is dead, man. This cringe garbage didn't, it's not working anymore. That narrative machine ain't working anymore. So I don't know exactly what's happening.

But I'll tell you this. Millennials don't care as much to go to these concerts. I got to be honest. I think what's getting really big for a lot of people is outdoors stuff. Van life was popular for a while. There's some dude who's got like 15 million subscribers and he's like retiring from doing outdoor content. He's like in the last year, I've gained like 10 million subs. And he's like, I don't, it's too much for me.

I think millennials are basically saying, like, leave me alone. They're getting old and they're ready to chill. There's not enough Gen Z to support someone like Katy Perry. And so these older individuals who are failing, they ain't going to make it. I don't know. Let me let me do this. I want to look up Houdini by Eminem because I like that song. I actually I'm a big I like I like Eminem. Check this out. This is this is the comparison we'll do.

This is Houdini by Eminem that came out 11 months ago. It's got 235 million views. I really like the song. He samples Abracadabra by Steve Miller, but Steve Miller band, it's, it's cultural commentary. He's talking about himself. He's mocking woke young people. The video is actually pretty funny. 235 million views. So I don't know, man, I'm just saying, I think, I think this whole, I think like the woke stuff is, is, is cringe. I think younger people are shifting, right?

I think liberals are doomed, to be honest. They don't have kids. They got nothing to sell to anybody. Who's Katy Perry trying to pander to? Like, this is the crazy thing about the Rosie the Riveter stuff. Read the room. Women are going to the right. You got Candace Owens and Brett Cooper. They call it the womanosphere. House and habit. You've got these female personalities, these influencers who are like, be moms. And Katy Perry saying, go work in a machine shop and make missiles. Yeah, no. No. So we'll see, man. I don't know.

It's hard to predict. Sometimes we look at this stuff and it feels like it should be easy to predict, but what can I say? I don't know. All I can tell you is that Katy Perry's cooked. She got fired.
