It's a video of a royal family advisor outright stating that Prince Andrew...
Let's just say we'll keep it light was involved with underaged girls, if you know what that means. And this is the confirmation from the inner circle that we were waiting for. Now, speculation, of course, because we've seen the photo with Prince Andrew and Virginia Giuffre.
We assumed this to be the case. And I think that's that's reasonable to conclude it is true. But now we have a direct statement, which is massive. On top of this, Pam Bondi is now revealing the existence of over 10,000 videos of Epstein and underage victims he was abusing, which means to a great degree, the Democrats over the past several years covered this up. They were in power.
The FBI had these documents. Why didn't they expose them? Now, to be fair, we've not seen any of this evidence come out from the Republicans either. So I'll take it with a grain of salt. But that being said, we're only just now learning of the existence of these videos under the Trump administration. Now, to be fair, why didn't Trump say anything in 2017, 18, 19, 20? Well, it's possible. And I think it's a fair assessment.
Not many of us were actually thinking about this until the expose by the Miami Herald and largely Mike Cernovich and his work, which began the whole process. James O'Keefe then got undercover footage. It was actually video that was recorded at ABC. Whistleblower came forward and said, here is one of our top journalists revealing she had Epstein. She had the proof and ABC buried it. So who is burying this story now?
We're all waiting for Pam Bondi to give us anything. And so far, words. But again, I do think it is massive that Pam Bondi has even revealed the existence of these videos. That's more than we got during the Democratic establishment administration. And many people are saying, well, look, I'll give the DOJ under Trump this right now.
They don't want to reveal any information of victims. And that makes it very difficult to release anything. But I'm going to tell you right now, Pam Bondi, Cash, Dan, whoever, they can put on a little bit. I don't see why that wouldn't be the case. I will accept that I don't know the full scope of what's going on behind the scenes. And I do trust Cash and Dan. I really do. And I hope you guys do too. I'm going to say it. I said it before. Dan Bongino ain't walking away from the biggest live stream in the country.
tens of millions of dollars per year to take a public sector job for, what, $150K so that he can fail and do nothing. This ain't no retirement for Dan Bongino. No, I believe he is going to get the job done, or at least he is working as hard as he can to do so. So I'm going to give them every benefit of the doubt. But still, I have questions. Now, we played for you in the beginning a little bit.
of this, uh, this clip. I'll play it for you again here. So you can, uh, once again, you can see it for yourselves. This is, uh, the YouTube clip. I was really pissed because he lied. And then I did a big thing in the Daily Mail.
John, how did he find out is the question. Now, I'm here to be reasonable. I'll try to entertain every possibility. Maybe what he's saying is that he learned in the press, same as the rest of us, and he assumes it to be true. Maybe I'm going to go and say,
I'm going to go ahead and assume all the same that he's in the inner circle. They stripped Andrew of his titles and associations with the royal family. They claimed he had a sweating disorder. No, he was caught. He was caught and everybody knew. And inside this British royal family advisor, they told him. And they said, yeah, no, he did it. I believe that. But really, it's going to come down to what you think is the most reasonable thing. And I see no reason based on any of the evidence that
to give these people the benefit of the doubt. I will say that those who forget their past are doomed to repeat it. And so we've seen the lies from the establishment over and over and over again. When a guy comes out candidly saying he was doing it, he probably knows something we don't. Amazing work from James O'Keefe. I will also add, as an aside, Project Veritas behind James next to O'Keefe Media Group. I wonder what's going on there. But what else can we expect?
Bondi is from Newsweek. Tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children. This is what we need answers for. Now, James O'Keefe, he's an outsider, right? He is not within the system and he is exposing what he can and he's doing a tremendous job. But inside Pam Bondi, Cash and Dan are supposed to be getting us this information. Attorney General Pam Bondi,
Said the FBI is reviewing tens of thousands of videos of Jeffrey Epstein with children or child porn. And there are hundreds of victims as she addressed concerns about the delay to the full release of the case files. The FBI is diligently going through that, Bondi told reporters on Wednesday morning. And the volume of evidence explained why more files had not been released so far. I want you to consider this for a quick second. Democrats had this, told us nothing and released nothing. Why? Why?
Now, some people say, well, it's because Ghislaine Maxwell is is appealing. She's she's appealing. So, you know, they can't release this BS, 100 percent BS. Ghislaine Maxwell's case is not tied to literally every single thing related to the Epstein case, largely overlapping. We get that. But the Biden administration could have absolutely come out, same as Pam Bondi and said, we have a tremendous mass of evidence against Epstein.
We can't release it for these reasons. We will be doing our best to get to the public. And we would have been like, whoa, I'll see it when I believe it. Same as with Pam Bondi. But they said nothing. They did not want us to know. And when Pam Bondi stumbled into that mess where she's on hand, he's saying, I got the documents. She says.
They sent a letter. They instructed she as the AG instructed the New York field office for the FBI to turn over Epstein evidence. And they lied. They covered it up until a whistleblower inside came and said they've got a bunch of information being withheld from the AG. She writes this letter to Kash Patel saying, get it done. My friends, the deep state is very real and it is not going away. Call it whatever you want.
But I will tell you this right now, Pam Bondi, the AG, is currently battling her own FBI. Kash Patel may be in charge, but there are rogue elements in these institutions. The fact that look, it is already crazy enough that Pam Bondi had to release that letter that said cash, get it done because her orders weren't doing it. Think about what that means.
Pam Bondi, the AG, says, I want these documents. You got it. They say, you got it. They don't give them to her. So her orders are falling on deaf ears by releasing this letter publicly or giving it to influencers and then release it publicly, instructing Cash to do this. What could be done at that point? It was in the public space. But this means that Cash, Dan and Pam are up against rogue actors in the federal government. And you know what? They're probably in on it with Epstein.
They're probably they were probably to some degree in on it. Now, there's a lot of conspiracy theories. We don't know exactly how this went down or what was going on. Some speculate that he was working for Assad. Don't know. Some have said that his dad was. That means he likely was. Perhaps. I mean, here's the game plan, right? You've all heard it.
Epstein gets these videos from these powerful people like Prince Andrew and puts them under his thumb. And he says, I got video of you with underage girls. We will end your life unless you do as you're told. There's two versions of the conspiracy. One is that he would trick guys into hooking up with underage girls by claiming they were 18, 19, 20. The other is that these guys were willfully enjoying it. Perhaps both. Really?
Prince Andrew, come on. He's hanging out with a 17 year old and he he doesn't know either way. An older guy like that with with girls that young. Come on. So we'll see, I suppose. They say Epstein is a disgraced pedophile financier, as we know. The full extent of his offending is still not publicly known, including whether it any further accomplices than his jailed associate Ghislaine Maxwell and the incoming Trump administration pledged full transparency on the Epstein files.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer said he feared the key Epstein documents would have been shredded before Trump took office. The president ordered them released. The attorney general ordered them released. We all know they have not been released, Comer told The Benny Show.

Comer is part of the House Oversight Task Force on the declassification of federal secrets led by Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, who is working on the Epstein files. So where is it?
I'd like answers. Give us something, anything. I mean, I'll tell you, saying there's 10,000 videos, good start. But we need something tangible. Give us a single piece of paper. Prove the documents are real. They say the Epstein story took a tragic turn in April when Virginia Giuffre died by suicide after years of mental health problems. So they claim. I've not seen any evidence of that, and I'm not going to believe it. So right now.
You've got Pam Bondi in the past several months digging through tens of thousands of documents plus videos. And one of the principal witnesses and victims dies. Not two years ago, not a year ago, not three years ago, just literally now right in the midst. Some suggested last night to us on Timcast IRL. What if she's in witness protection? Maybe. I don't know. The whole story is weird. She puts out this Instagram post showing her face all bruised up, saying her kidneys are failing. She's going to die. She has four days to live.
What? Because you're renal failure? They can put you on dialysis. You don't just die instantly. Unless, of course, the damage to your body from bruising in a car accident is so severe, you wouldn't survive the surgery or you wouldn't survive the dialysis possible. However, the bus driver that she claims hit her said it was a minor fender bender. It busted the back taillight. That's it. He wasn't going that fast. She said he was. He said she turned in front of him, hit the taillight. Now's it.
So what is really going on? That story doesn't make sense. Her saying, I have four days to live. I want to see my kids one last time doesn't make sense. None of it does. I got to tell you right now, there's even some some conspiracies and speculation about the actions Trump has taken, the people he's hired. He's had a new surge in general. A lot of people are angry about this. They're saying that someone is in charge and it's not Trump, perhaps.
Perhaps even when Trump wins, you find that there is a deeper, darker system at play. Why would that system ever give up its power? How could it give up its power? I don't know. I don't know. Maybe the challenge is, let me give you a conspiracy theory. There is a deep state more powerful than you realize. They cannot stem the tide of the populist uprising.
And the only thing you can do is try to placate it. The Trump base was not going away. Channels like mine are not going away. Lives in the corporate press are not working anymore. So how does a cabal maintain power? Give a dog a bone. They say, oh, yeah, we'll let you. We'll let Trump in office. You won. Congratulations. Then they go to Trump's people and they say, you will know suffering you've you've never known if you defy us.
So now they're letting a little pressure release, right? So we feel like we're winning, but in the end, we get nothing. Now, right now, Trump has done quite a bit in gutting USAID and his other institutions. It may be that there actually is a war at play, and the Trump admin is up against the deep state. The deep state is very powerful, but I don't think it's as one-sided as I explained before. I think the Trump admin is actually making some moves, which is making a difference.
The question is going to be, will we get accountability for any of this stuff? Why isn't Prince Andrew in a jail cell with this? The DOJ should be opening investigations. The question about jurisdiction for Andrew is when was he in the United States? And he was. And what was he doing in the United States? Either way, the U.S. should demand sanctions or something from the U.K. They should demand concessions. This guy should be in prison.
We want the evidence. We want the trial. We want the rest of them exposed. We'll see how this one plays out, my friends. Shout out to James O'Keefe. Amazing work as always. Follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast. And we'll see you all in the next segment.
Now, this homeowner says that a group of kids were trying to break into his house. And so when they did, he opened fire, shooting and killing one of them, grazing another one of these teens. Now, the kids say we were just doing a ding dong ditch. You knock on the door and you run away and you film it.
It's hard to know exactly who is at fault here. So I will open this up by asking you guys who you think is at fault. I'm going to tell you my bias right away. I have seen the extent of these TikTok pranks, especially relating to entering someone's home. They exist. There is, there have been pranks on TikTok and other social media platforms where they try and enter someone's house. I've got video of someone actually doing it. But...
That may also lend itself to the idea that if you know someone's doing a prank and they're not actually a threat, can you shoot and kill them?
It's an interesting story. And I'm wondering if this one's going to get a lot of traction, like, say, Carmelo Anthony or other cases, because I think you may have a racial component here, though. Personally, I'm going to tell you this. My bias is against the tick tockers. If you're pulling pranks where you basically terrorize people in some way, I get it. Ding dong, ding dong. It's not a big deal. The question is, do we actually believe that's what these kids were doing? Hard to say.
It's hard for me to be biased against a homeowner who sees three, I mean, older teenage guys, maybe they're 20, who knows, coming up to your house at night doing who knows what, and you freak out. So there's something that we've talked about before, especially pertaining to the Carmelo Anthony case, called imperfect self-defense. I think that's what they call it. Now, not that Carmelo Anthony qualifies, but the idea is,
You may not have been justified in using lethal force against someone, but you perceived that you were facing an imminent threat. So you did. That is, in this case, they've charged the homeowner with murder over this.
So the question I have is, is he going to have an imperfect self-defense case where he says, look, I have a right to keep it bare arms. It's Virginia. I'm in my house. Strange men are coming up to my house. I don't know what they're doing. They start rifling around. Maybe they open their who knows what he's going to say. I don't know. Maybe he says they went to open my door. I saw these guys skulking about. They're trying to break in. I panicked. I opened. I feared for my life. These kids are going to say we just wanted to ring his doorbell and run.
What if this guy saw three kids skulking up to his stoop? They didn't actually go for the door or anything. He saw them just going up to the door, thinks they're breaking in and shoots them before they even ring a doorbell, grab the door. I'm wondering if imperfect self-defense might play a role. Now, here's the story. And then I want to show you proof, man. I got videos of TikTokers boasting and bragging and getting millions of views breaking into people's homes. Not a joke.
NBC Washington says Virginia homeowner arrested on murder charge in teen's death with possible TikTok tie. TikTok tie. There you go.
They say Tyler Chase Butler, 27, was arrested and accused of second degree murder, malicious wounding and use of a firearm in commission of a felony. The county sheriff's office said Tuesday Butler was accused of killing Michael Bosworth, Jr., a senior at Massaponix High School. He played lacrosse and football and wrestled. His heartbroken stepfather told News 4.
As News 4 reported, after the shooting at about 3 a.m. on Saturday, I mean, come on, man. The homeowner told investigators Bosworth and two other teens were trying to break into his home on McKenzie Lane. The sheriff's office received a call about a residential burglary in progress in which a resident had fired shots. Bosworth was taken to the hospital where he died. So let's just lay this out again. It's three in the morning on Saturday. You wake up.
You see three, I think it was three, I think there were like 17, 16, 17, maybe 18. They're like older high school kids. What do they say? What year they were? I don't know. Look, man, it's three in the morning and I see strangers on my porch. I'm going to assume it's a break-in as well. So get this. He called the police. He called the police and reported a burglary in progress. One of the other teens was grazed by a bullet.
Told detectives they weren't breaking in to steal anything. The teen said they were recording ding dong ditch pranks for tick tock videos, ringing doorbells and running away at three in the morning. Nah, nah, nah. I don't buy it for a second. Sorry, man. Look, I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm crazy. I don't buy it for a second. Three in the morning. Look, when you ding dong ditch, you do it when people are home. So they answer the door and then they look around confused. Why would you do it at 3 a.m.? People are sleeping.
This makes literally no sense. I'm wondering if what they're actually doing is at three in the three in the morning, you ring the doorbells, bang on the door. And if no one comes out, you know, you're cleared to break into that house. Maybe the dude who lived there hears the doorbell and ignores it. Then these kids are like, all right, nobody's home. He then gets up. I don't know, man. Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe I'm wrong.
A detective tracked down the third teen who was not shot. That team gave the same account and offered their phone to show a similar video shot earlier that night. Bosworth was shot hours before his school prom. At three in the morning? No, after the shooting at about 3 a.m. Saturday. What do you mean prom? Butler was being held without bond at the Rappahannock Regional Jail. Anyone with potentially relevant information is asked to contact the sheriff's office. Take a look at this video.
This guy's super annoying, so I should probably turn the video down. Listen to this. Stranger's house is prank. Walking into stranger's house is prank. I'm literally in so many people's way. Guys, don't you want to high five me? You know, look, I don't know if this guy's making a joke. Walking into stranger's house is prank.
I don't know if he's actually in a stranger's house, and I doubt he actually is. But look at the psychotic behavior that social media is generating. We are we are screwed, man. We are we are cooked.
Take a look at this video. This is from London Live News.
She then shouts towards her partner inside the house to handle the situation. Secret Mizzy walks past the partner and even sits on a sofa in the living room making himself comfortable before the homeowner asks him and his three friends who've entered the house to leave as he has kids inside. Speaking to the Daily Star, the TikToker said it was unfortunate that there were minors present in the house, however none of them were harmed or negatively affected.
He went on to say, "If I had known there were children in the house, I would never have went in at all." The clip has been reposted on Twitter with multiple comments about how stupid and reckless the boy's actions were. The Met Police has said it is aware of the videos on social media but has not received any official reports. However, they are investigating. So what do you make of the actions? Let us know in the comments below. I have seen more than my fair share of TikTok pranks where
I would not be surprised. Look, first of all, let me just say this. I don't want to accuse these kids of wrongdoing. I don't know. They said it was a ding-dong ditch prank. I don't understand why some dude, minding his own business, in his house at 3 in the morning, is being presumed to be a murderer. This is crazy. It's crazy. So, like, what's the claim here with this murder charge? That...
The dude saw some guys on his porch. They rang his doorbell. Well, wouldn't they ring his doorbell and run away? Are they arguing that they rang his doorbell and then went and hid in the bushes? He walked outside, looked around, saw them and opened fire on him. Maybe he did. Maybe that's exactly why they charged him. I find that hard to believe. I'm curious what y'all think. Because if I was going to make assumptions and be reasonable.
I'd imagine these kids are doing a prank that is more serious than a ding-dong ditch. Who's going to watch that video? No, you saw this guy screaming at the top of his lungs like a psychopath.
Here we go. Here's the video. Wow. Wow.
There's a person in the hallway.
Yeah, this is content in 2023. So I don't know if this is staged or not. I feel like it's not. To me, if you were going to stage something like this, you would stage a reaction and not just have what looks like a teenage girl peek around the corner looking terrified because she just saw someone break into her home.
So I feel like this is real. Which leads me to the question, how does a person manage to get to such a low point in their life? How do you get so desperate for internet attention, internet validation, whatever it might be, that you are willing to break into someone's home and film it? And maybe a better question, what is wrong
with the 75,000 people that follow this guy. I mean, this seriously might be the worst thing I've ever seen from TikTok. We've seen another person do this, that Mizzy guy I covered a few months ago. And since the internet has absolutely ruined the minds of millions of people, here we are comparing home invasion pranks. I think Mizzy's was a lot better because at least he just acted like he walked into the wrong home. Oh my God, it's a miz!

And also a shout out to August the Duck. This is his video. When I was doing research on this, I found his video. He did a good breakdown. And so, respect.
Look, if that guy's video is fake and he staged it and called his friend and said, hey, I'm going to pretend to break into your house. He goes to a different house first. Maybe he knows everybody. Maybe those are like his friends as they live across the street. What's going to happen then is in a story like this, some kids are going to be like, oh, I want to try that. Remember the dude in Virginia? Man, let me pull this up. Prank. Was it Pranker? Prankster? It was at the mall right by us, actually. Let me see if I can find this because.
TikTok prank. He was filming a prank. Nah, I got to do the food court one. It's crazy because I go to that food court. Yo, check this out. Jury acquits man. Check this out. Jury acquits man of main charge in Virginia mall shooting of YouTube prankster. This DoorDash guy, delivery guy, is minding his own business. He's picking up food to go deliver it when these guys, two guys get in his face and are freaking him out. And then he pulls out a gun and shoots him.
Alan Colley was acquitted of aggravated malicious wounding in the shooting of Tanner Cook, 21,
who runs the Classified Goons YouTube channel. Kali's lawyer said he acted in self-defense. Yeah, they got in his face. We're holding the camera up to him. This is a tactic used by people robbing you in the streets. I talk about this. I've talked about it in the context of this. In Chicago, the way they mug you, it's not like in the movies where they walk up to you with a gun and they hold it to you and say, give me your wallet. They walk up to you, they surround you like three or four guys and they frisk you really quickly. And then your hands are up. You don't get a chance to react.
They just walk up, go through all your pockets and then push you down and they leave. So when this dude's in the mall carrying legally and two guys get in his face and are basically pushing him back, he might be thinking these guys are about to rob me and could kill me. And so he got acquitted of that, said he was in self-defense.
They send the April 2nd shooting at the food court in Dulles Town Center right by here, 45 minutes west of D.C. set off panic as shoppers fled what they feared to be a mass shooting. The verdict came Thursday after about five hours of deliberation. Three hours in, the jury sent out a note saying it was divided in terms of whether the defendant acted in self-defense. What do they think? What do people think, man? Look, maybe I'm wrong about this story, right? But you show up to my house at three in the morning and are doing God knows what.
I, I'm going to tell you this. You don't know what this homeowner is going through. Don't play stupid games. Now, if you go to someone's house at three in the morning, you're standing there minding your business, you're in the doorbell because you got a legitimate reason to do it. They shouldn't shoot you. They shouldn't shoot you. But I think, I can't believe this guy was charged with murder because if they're talking about doing a prank, then they're, it's, it's disorderly conduct. Like they're, they're waking people up at the three in the morning to screw with people is, is, is, is like, it's disorderly. It's not,
It's not like the worst crime in the world, but they started this by trying to, they're filming a guy's private house for internet clicks. Now, I'm sad people died here, but I'm just thinking, what if this homeowner received a death threat recently? What if he feared for his life for pre-existing circumstances, and these guys show up? I'll say it like this. If you came to our property here at TimCast at three in the morning,
You are going to have rifles pointed at you because we have armed security guards. If you show up at three in the morning and start skulking about our property, I mean, if you drive up in your car, they're not going to aim a gun at you or anything like that. I'm saying if you think you're going to prank this property, you're going to find yourself on the ground face in the mud. And you're going to have two vets and former cops kneeling on your neck with guns low ready. And they're going to wait for the cops to show up.
This guy's a homeowner. Doesn't seem to be like a trained, you know, vet or cop or anything like that. And he's got guys talking about his property. I am never going to air on the side of the TikTok pranksters at three in the morning. Anyway, I'm ranting on this one. This is a crazy story. I'm just a two-way guy. I know, you know, we've experienced such BS with people trying to screw with us.
Then I'm like, yo, this dude's in his bed at three in the morning and they wake him up. He's probably groggy. He's not. He's waking up at three in the morning, having no idea what's going on. He sees three dudes on his porch doing God knows what. And he freaks out. He freaks out. What are these what are these kids doing, man? You know, TikTok and these social media platforms have rotted their brains. Crazy, man. I'm gonna leave it there. Smash that like button. Share the show with everyone you know.
We got more segments coming up in a little bit, and we'll see you on the next segment. Google is cooked, my friends. They're cooked. They are getting hit with antitrust. And now, for the first time in I think 20 years, their search traffic is on the decline. It just got real.
Wall Street Journal says AI's threat to Google just got real. Drop in search traffic is a reminder technological advancement can displace long-established tech giants. Indeed, we didn't think it possible.
The libertarians may have been right. It's yet to be seen. Google's dominance in the 2010s was so insane that none of us thought it possible that they could ever be displaced. The reason why is because it's different. I mean, I remember what was it?
AT&T or whatever, like when I was a little kid, the phone companies, and they like broke them up into like Ameritech or something. I don't even remember. You've got sometimes Microsoft, sometimes antitrust action. But many of these companies have been dominant forever. Some people said, look at AOL. They were the internet for a long time. They're gone now. They exist, but who cares? Their dominance fell apart.
We all said Google owns so much of the space. They couldn't possibly lose it unless it was on purpose. They control what you see, think and hear. When you search it, when you search online, it's Google. When ads pop up, it's Google. They can ban you and shut you down if you oppose them. Politicians can get erased from the political landscape if you oppose Google. And then something happened. New technology. You see, Google was so powerful.
Heavily focused on the here and now. They said, let's make money with what we got. Search is what we got. AI starts to get developed. Namely, chat GPT. Google says, whatever. Google has tried launching an AI product. It is absolute garbage. Sorry, but that's true. Google's AI product is trash. YouTube, trash.
YouTube is propping up garbage content. They are allowing political actors to game the algorithm with Trump's slop content that is rotting the brains of people. They have decided to allow all of this to happen. They can't seem to figure out how to solve for the insanity. So what's happened is people have turned to chat GPT. It's a much better search tool. Now, for a while, admittedly, I was using Grok.
But chat GPT has improved once again, and grok has not. Grok ain't so good. Image generation nowhere near as good as GPT, and it answers questions in very stupid ways, often getting things wrong. For a while, that was actually, it wasn't bad because you'd fact check it. But now that chat GPT is much, much better, that's what I use.
And I'd say you're a fool if you're not using these tools. Don't assume it's true. These things make mistakes. But when I'm looking for something, I'm not going to Google anymore. Seriously. It is pretty nuts. We're trying to find facts and data on certain stories and issues. And during the shows like Timcast IRL, I'll search Google to try and find a story. And I'm like, I can't find it. It's like, hey, there was a video we all saw.
where a guy is going around Ireland asking people what they think the most common name is. So I searched for it on Google. Couldn't find it for several reasons. Political bias being one of them. But the keywords had been buried. When you search for these terms, a bunch of new content, new videos come up, and I couldn't find it. I go into ChatGPT, and it goes, I know exactly what you're talking about. Here you go. Gives me the exact thing I'm looking for. Not always. Not always. The Wall Street Journal reports that
A senior Apple executive said Wednesday that Google searches over the Safari web browser fell over the last two months. Quote, that has not happened in over 20 years. At EQ, Apple's senior vice president of services said on the witness stand during the penalty trial phase of the DOJ's antitrust lawsuit against Google. Q attributed the drop to a growing number of people using generative AI services such as chat GPT and perplexity.
It's a costly revelation. Google's parent, Alphabet, saw its share price tumble more than 7% after news outlets reported the comments. That cost Alphabet about $250 billion in market cap. Apple's shares also fell more than 7%.
than 1% by the close, as Google's traffic over Safari powers a lucrative partnership that now generates more than $20 billion in annual payments to the iPhone maker. But for Google, the latest comments only serve to thicken the cloud of uncertainty that hangs over the company after losing not one, but two federal antitrust cases over the last nine months. Google is getting ripped to shreds, ladies and gentlemen. And I'm proud to say, you know, let me tell you this. Google is
Y'all are scumbags. Now, I'm not I'm not so, I guess, stupid daft as to bite the hand that feeds to a certain degree. Let me put it this way. YouTube has afforded me a great life. I have made videos that have gotten millions of views. The the explosive growth I saw, you know, six, seven years ago, it has been tremendous.
I made lots of money, more money than I could dream of, more money than I made in my life. And I built a company around revenue largely generated from YouTube. However, that was in spite of Google's political actions against me.
You see, at first, in the early 2010s, Google loved me. I consulted for them several times. I came in for free and talked to them about building live streaming apps and the functions they'd need and how to do it. And they took all of that information and they used it. Why? Because I was on the ground doing all this stuff. And how did they repay me?
When some psychotic crackpot leftists started lying about me and many others, YouTube nuked my YouTube channels, removed them from Google search completely so you couldn't find them anymore. And in spite of all of that, I succeeded in the past couple of years, about a year and a half ago when we were noticing that we weren't getting the same algorithmic reach that
That it looked artificial compared to every other channel. Despite the fact that Timcast IRL yesterday was the biggest live podcast in the country. I kid you not. Facts. I'm not trying to humble brag. I am pissed off. YouTube still holds us down. Pushes and pushes us down. So here's what happened.
I'm going to say this again. Yesterday, check the metrics because we do this because we have a sales team and we're trying to pitch to advertisers. Buy with us. We are the biggest live podcast in the country. Now, typically, Crowder is a bigger live show than us. But yesterday, we hit that mark. We are typically the second or third biggest live show in the country.
And here's what happens. We try and run ads on Google and they flag every single video we do as an election ad. Now, I'm not talking about I do a video where I say Donald Trump, this Donald Trump that they say, yeah, well, we know you're not promoting Trump, but you are saying political stuff and that qualifies. No, no, I'm talking about I tried running an ad where I literally just said, hey, guys, come check out the best show in culture and news.
Every day, every Monday through Friday, 8 p.m. live here on YouTube. Click the ad. Subscribe. Don't forget to subscribe to this channel. We'll see you all then. That's all it was. They said, that's an election ad. And I said, what? It's a talk show. It's a podcast. I fought with them. They denied me. I fought with them. They denied me. And I'm saying, I am trying to spend money on this Google platform. Why are they lying and blocking me from buying ads? Finally, they relented. Here's what they did.
The videos, it was me talking with a picture of the YouTube channel. And they said, because the title of one of the videos says the word Trump in it, says the word Trump, it's a political ad. I said, OK, I blurred them. I blurred them out. And I said, we have now removed all political references after the ad ran. And I wouldn't relent. Here's what happened. Google ad says, fine, you can run the ad.
And then a day later, YouTube hits me up and says, those videos featured in your ad, we are deleting, banning. It was the biggest show we had ever done with Joe Rogan, Alex Jones. We had Michael Malice. We had Drew Hernandez. We had Blair White, Luke Grodkowski. Deleted. Actually, I don't know if Malice was there. I think he was, wasn't he? We had Malice and Alex Jones on another episode. Deleted. And they gave us fake reasons why they did it. Fake reasons.
I started making phone calls. I was pissed. They have been lying, cheating and stealing. And what rules did we ever break? We're a talk show. We do fact checking. Google is a scumbag company. And it is only by accident that they allowed me to succeed on this platform. And even to this day, they have blocked my channels. They are suppressing my channels. And that's why we teamed up with Rumble. And let me tell you this.
You know that feeling when you're about to score 30% off, but they want your number?
Ugh. Give them your Line 2 number instead. It's a second line on your phone, perfect for nabbing promo codes without inviting spam to your party. Sign up for every discount under the sun, then block the junk texts that follow. You get all the perks, but none of the spammy baggage. More codes, less chaos. Visit line2.com slash audio or download Line 2 in the App Store and get your shopping sidekick today. Because the only thing blowing up your phone should be good deals.
Since we teamed up with Rumble, our viewership has doubled. Now, how is this possible? How is this possible? It's so strange, isn't it?
That we work hard every single day. Say we as the Timcast crew, our producers, Serge, Kellen, Tate, the crew. We got Phil. We got even Ian, Elad, and our guests. Every night we put on this show. Massive fan base. Some of the best returns for advertisers. And then YouTube always finds a reason to flag, ban, or shut us down. It's not as bad as Crowder gets. Don't get me wrong. We team up with Rumble.
All of a sudden on Rumble, the growth is insane. The growth is insane. We are now averaging a higher concurrent base on Rumble than we do on YouTube. Now, does that make sense? Shouldn't the number one live show, live podcast conversation show? I'll say this because there's a bunch of different ways you can you can parse it right. Crowder is a live show. He beats us routinely, but it's not a podcast. It's a news comedy show.
If we were going to say a news talk show, we are the biggest live in the country. Every we are the biggest live podcast every day. Nobody comes close. Now, if we want to just straight up, say, live stream in general, then you've got streamers that like talk to the chat and hang out. And it's not the same as like a live podcast, but very little difference. Then we're number three. Shouldn't a show that big that's consistently hitting these numbers? Shouldn't that be something that YouTube goes? Wow.
People really like this show. Perhaps you'd show it to more people. It'll generate more attention and money for the platform. They should. Instead, they prop up Trump schlop garbage, repeating the same algorithmic nonsense. That's what they choose to promote. How does this make sense? Because they're actively screwing us over. That's what Google is. So I'm I'm I'm I'm happy to see this, you know.
Rumble has dominated the top live charts. They are crushing YouTube. Actually, do I have this pulled up? I should pull this up again, guys. I'm sorry if it's like a humble brag, if that's how you take it. The important what I'm trying to point out is the efforts we have taken to counteract the total BS that Google has has levied against us. Let me show you this.
So the top streams for yesterday, EWTN, that's the state Vatican channel. So if we want to be fair and say of all live streams, we were beaten out a little bit. I think they had 84,000 to our 74,000. And so fair point. We were the number two biggest stream in the country. However, if we're talking about actual shows, then EWTN, Asmongold, Sneak. Okay. So they're not really registering in the same way. These are more like IRL hangouts, right?
But if we just want to be legit, just want to say, okay, you know what? Shows are shows. Take a look at this. In the top 10, YouTube has four. Rumble's got one, two, three. And I think Twitch has three. So YouTube's dominance in live is being suppressed. I wonder if they have the top news streams. Top news streams. Let me see if I can pull this one up. Let's do... Because when you see the news broadcasters, this is where it gets really interesting.
This is where Rumble has completely taken over. Take a look at this. Top news live streams in the top 10. Rumble, TimCast IRL split between the two. You've got, so you've got two, I'm going to remove TimCast IRL from the news. This is for May 5th because we use both. Well, to be fair, Rumble outranks YouTube in terms of total viewership.
So you got one, two, three, four, five, if we include Timcast IRL. But you've got six because Timcast is always in both. Rumble is dominating, dominating the top live streams. Google is getting crushed on all fronts. And we are happy to hear it. Hey, Google, take your thumb off the scale. Apply it appropriately. And maybe we'd care. Maybe we'd care.
But you have shut down honest actors calling it the lies for political purposes. And you know what? You deserve to lose. And you're going to. You're losing the live game. Twitch has more live viewers at any given moment than any other platform. YouTube may have some of the biggest live streams because they're the biggest video platform. But they are struggling. And once they started banning people and Rumble picked up the slack...
Now, Rumble has more of the top 10 news broadcasts than YouTube does. YouTube is losing the culturally relevant space. And so be it. So be it. They want to play dirty games. They can win stupid prizes. So for now, let me just say this. This is what happens. Google is too focused. They're too panicked.
They don't know how to adapt to a changing landscape. I talked about this the other day. I run a skateboard company, Booneys HQ. We sell skateboards. We know there aren't enough young people skateboarding to sell the product. So we are trying to adapt to figure out how to maintain an industry. It's a tough thing to do. Google needed to look to the future. Younger people are leaning conservative. They don't want the garbage you're feeding them. Instead, Google said, ban what young people like.
Give them garbage shorts for an international audience. And guess what happens? You are starting to lose. You're losing. People are leaving the platform. Now about a third to a fourth of all views we generate here at Timcast are coming from Rumble. Okay. What do you think is going to happen? Rumble's already got their own ad network.
Google is cooked, man. And you know what? They deserve it because they are ideologically driven crackpots. They are bloated and they can't figure out why they're failing. So be it. Here's an idea. Here's an idea. Merit. Maybe Steven Crowder, who's the biggest live stream in the country, should be routinely featured on your front page, YouTube. I don't know. Maybe if you said there's a reason this guy is the biggest live stream in the country every single day on average.
Maybe it'd be like, people must really like this content. Let's promote it because this will retain more users. Nope, they don't do it. They don't do it. Okay, what do you think is going to happen? If you are propping up people who aren't as good, then your average person is going to say, I don't want to watch it. I'm going to go somewhere else. And they did. I'll leave it there.

Donald Trump had a tremendous announcement today, a new trade deal with the UK, and it's looking really good for the United States. It's going to make us a lot more money, open up the UK markets for US trade, a massive and positive deal. Of course, Democrats the whole time have been complaining that Trump has no plan. He doesn't know what he's doing and that the right just says whatever Trump does, it's the right thing to do. OK, well, that being said, the Democrats just say anything that Trump does is the wrong thing to do. And for this, my friends, the Democrats are
It's worse than it's ever been. Fox News saying that President Trump's approval rating is sliding, but the Democrats' poll numbers are hitting new lows, the worst Fox has ever seen. It's actually quite simple when you look at it. Trump is doing things, whether they're going to work or not. He's telling the American people, I'm going to put tariffs in place. He's telling the American people, we're going to bring manufacturing back. We're going to deport illegal immigrants. We're going to secure our border.
We will make America great again. Democrats are going, Trump is wrong for closing the border. Trump is wrong for deporting illegal immigrants. Trump is wrong for putting on tariffs. Trump is wrong for trying to bring back manufacturing. Literally, you cannot function in a country when one side just says anything you try to do will be wrong no matter what and offering up no solutions. But there's something else outside of this. Something that I think matters more than whether or not Trump does something or doesn't. In a conversation yesterday,
on Piers Morgan's show last week. Piers asked me, you know, how I think Trump was doing. And I said, I don't be plus it's not perfect. I'm skeptical on the universal tariffs, but I largely like what he's doing. And he asked me, would you say the same thing of Joe Biden? I said, no, probably not. And that's because Donald Trump's worldview is closer to mine across the board, meaning I have a greater tolerance for mistakes and errors. I trust him more.
Joe Biden has done things I view to be criminal wrong. He's associated with evil warmongers. So when he does bad things, it is just another item in a litany of corruption that we've already seen. The reason I bring this up is Gen Z is more conservative than ever. And boy, can I tell you what? I got this great article from BuzzFeed where they're basically saying, well, we've asked a bunch of young women why young men are going conservative and they have no answers.
They give you a bunch of stupid men want to be in control and white men want to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Been there, done that. If that's the narrative you're going with, you lose. But my point here is maybe Trump is just improving and Democrats are losing because conservatives tend to have more kids and liberals do not. Thus, they're going to be more conservative young people.
I got the data to show you. Maybe we're winning the ideological war, or maybe it's just a war of having babies. Could be. My friends, welcome to the Rumble Morning lineup. This is your official transition into the afternoon. We're all transitioning here into the afternoon, my friends. I am Tim Pool, your host. You can follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast.

But let's jump into news, my friends, and start going through the current state of affairs in this year country. Fox News reports President Trump's approval ratings slide, but Democrats poll numbers hitting new lows. Now, many of you may be saying I don't like hearing that Trump's approval rating is going down. I don't trust the polls. But at the same time, I do like hearing that Democrat poll numbers being all time low is good, but I don't trust the polls. Well, look at this.
Donald Trump's approval rating is rebounding. Same day, updated this morning. It is. Trump just announced his amazing trade deal. It is ridiculously good. Have you guys seen the details on this trade deal that Trump negotiated with the UK? I can't believe the terms we had with the UK before. So this trade deal is fantastic. Hopefully we get more with other countries. I'd like to see a functional trade deal with China. What I mean by this is we want our own manufacturing.
But we want to do deals where deals should be done. There's trade to be made with China. We just don't want them manufacturing all of our base goods. We want to be able to survive on our own, and we want the jobs for ourselves. China can make products. That's fine. And we'll buy when it makes sense. But there's got to be balance. Here's a story from Fox News.
President Donald Trump has some polling problems with his approval rating sliding into negative territory since he entered the White House. But he's far from alone when it comes taking a political punch in public. The opposing Democratic Party's favorability ratings keep sinking to new lows. DNC chair Ken Martin said this past weekend on a Fox News Sunday interview that the party's focus right now is squarely on making sure that we stand up for hardworking Americans who are being left behind in this Trump economy. So you mean like very few people?
But many Americans apparently don't believe that. Democrats are up to the task. The Democrats' rating stood underwater in the latest Fox poll at 41% favorability, 56 unfavorable. That is an all-time low for Democrats in Fox News polling. And for the first time in a decade, the party standing was lower than the GOP. This Fox News poll is far from an outlier. Now, we did talk about this just the other day.
But there's more information here. The Democratic Party's unfavorable ratings were well in the negative territory. In a Pew Research National Survey, 38% favorability, 60% unfavorable conducted in early April. 36% favorable, 60% unfavorable in a Wall Street Journal poll in a field a couple weeks later. And national polls conducted in February by Quinnipiac University and March by CNN and NBC News also indicated the favorability ratings of the Democratic Party sinking to all-time lows. But wait!
There's more. I love this because I was saying we don't want to trust a single poll, but they're giving us all the polls showing much the same thing. Confidence in the Democratic Party's congressional leadership sunk to an all time low, according to Gallup. The confidence rating for Democrats leadership in Congress at 25 percent in the survey, which was nine points below the previous low of 34 percent.
The semiannual Harvard Youth Poll, which was released late last month, indicated that approval ratings for Democrats in Congress among those 18 to 29 nosedived. I'm going to tell you this. That nosedive I don't think is ideological. I think what happened is 18 to 29 changes every year. So you've got 18 to 29 and Democrats are at 40 percent. A year goes by. Twenty nine year olds are no longer counted. Seventeen year olds are now 18 percent.
Democrats collapse. What does that mean? Young people are conservative. The next generation, Gen Alpha, is probably going to be massively conservative. Now, we talked about it's terrifying. Only 40 million Gen Alpha right now, and the generation is about to close. 40 million.
And
And because you'll meet your therapist online, you don't have to take time off work or arrange childcare. You'll meet on your schedule. Plus, Talkspace is in network with most major insurers and most insured members have a $0 copay. Make your mental health a priority and start today.

To match with a licensed therapist today, go to Talkspace.com and enter promo code SPACE80. Well, here's the bad news. That is a microscopic generation relative to the 70 million for each previous generation on average. Boomers were big. I think they were like, what, like 90? 40 million. That's bad.
Here's the good news. They're probably all conservative. So at the very least, voting bloc domination, although a lot of older millennial, old millennial cat ladies will be voting too. Don't get me wrong. They're going to say an ABC News Washington Post Ipsos poll conducted in mid-April indicated that more respondents trusted Trump than Democrats in Congress. 40% for Trump, 32% for Democrats. And a Reuters Ipsos poll conducted late last month suggested Republicans hold a significant advantage over Democrats on the top two issues, the economy and immigration.
The Democratic Party has been in the political wilderness since last November's election setbacks. When Republicans won back control of the White House and the Senate and defended their fragile House majority, the Republicans made gains among black and Hispanic voters as well as young voters, all traditional members of the Democratic Party base.
Since Trump's return to power, an increasingly angry and energized base of Democrats is pushing for party leaders to take a stronger stand in pushing back against the president's sweeping and controversial agenda during the opening months of his second administration. What we've seen so far, what we've seen, I'm sorry, over the last few months is some Democrats taking it upon themselves to tackle what has been a larger brand problem over the past decade and a half.
A Democrat strategist told Fox News the anger not only at Trump and Republicans, but also fellow Democrats appears to be a factor in the party's polling woes with a drop in positivity toward the Democrats in the Fox News poll, partially being held being a self-inflicted wound. Party favorability among Democrats plunged 10 points. We've seen it.
Also, it looks like we have breaking news. A new pope has been chosen literally right now. You guys are watching live. So, okay, I'm not going to... This is happening right now.
Historically, we're in the zone now between the fourth and fifth votes. We're kind of in that process that we've seen where we if it didn't. This just popped up right now as I was live talking about polling. I want to bring it. Look, I got I got a one hour preview past Fox News. More on this. Ben, when you and I talked yesterday, we said. All right. So white smoke means they've they found a new pope. But.
We're going to have to wait and see what new information arises from that. So we here at Tim Kess will probably have a segment up for you shortly after this live stream with all the new details on the new pope. For now, I think the smoke means new pope. We don't know who that new pope is going to be. So let's get back to the news at hand. And we are live. So for those that are watching.
Absolutely. We will get you any new information on that as it's coming in live for sure. But I think that's going to be the biggest live stream right now. So let me see if I can. I think we have to segue over. This is live right now. We got it. We got to pull in. We got to pull in the new pope. Let's see. We got a live stream here from AP. Let's pull this in and watch live. I think we're going to have to, my friends. This is this is history in the making. We'll pull in the AP live.
and try and get all new relevant information on the new pope as it's coming in. And I guess we will try and grab some of your chats, my friends, while this is going on. This is breaking news. What can I say? I guess we're going to have to wait and see if we got new information, huh? Wow. All right, I'm going to pull up X on the back end here and see if we can get any information on who the new pope is going to be. A new pope has been chosen. I got to admit, that was pretty quick. That was pretty quick. This is huge.
I'm going to start taking your guys' comments because, hey, Timcast, no woke Pope, please. Get your Rumble rants in now because we're shifting to Pope stream. I got all of this news lined up. I worked really hard on producing this show, and then they chose a new Pope. So it basically just makes my job a lot easier to be honest. We're going to hang out. I see Giacchia says, don't care about the Pope.
You know, I respect that. I do. And a lot of people don't. But a new pope is it's it's historic. So definitely we're going to we're going to see what we've got going on right now with that information on the new pope. We will jump back into all the politics in just a second. But considering the smoke has just come out, they're choosing a new pope. I do want to at least grab some of this coverage for you guys. And then maybe we'll get more information in just a minute.
You can see Pope is chosen, breaking news. Everything on X right now is just the Pope. White smoke now. Is Jack in the Vatican? Jack Posobiec? Let's do this. We're going to bring in Jack Posobiec. They're ringing the bells, but Jack's talking. Let's see what he's talking about. That means this was the fourth...
Enclave, that means a successor to St. Peter has been chosen. As you can see, I'm just a few steps away from the Vatican. My brother Kevin is there right now. I'm going to head in immediately. The bells have been ringing like crazy since the white smoke went off. We're going to get down there to get on the scene. I'll be right back. Now, Truffle will be able to go live. I know a lot of people will be there. So we are going to be recording everything we can. We'll be up later tonight, human events.
Daily Signal has been absolutely nuts down there when you get into the square itself. That's why I'm over here to do the show. But I've got to get down there. So I will be back. Oh, man. We have a pope. Amazing. Shout out Jack Posobiec. Let's get back into we'll get back into the the hard politics here. This has been absolutely crazy for the news to break. Look, there are concerns there will be a woke pope.
The last pope, not a Catholic, mind you, but he was, let's just say, on the woke spectrum. And he opened the door for the conclave, for the cardinals to be much more open.
woke, as it were. Left-leaning, DEI, etc. And one of the top contenders was this cardinal who had been praised by leftist groups. So this is going to be big, even if you're not Christian, not Catholic. This guy has tremendous influence. And if they put in a woke pope who then comes out and starts telling everybody to be woke, it's going to influence a lot of people. Anyway,
Let's get back to the news, my friends. Newsweek, Donald Trump's approval rating is rebounding. So as we've already seen, my friends, Democrats ain't doing so well.
Newsweek reports President Donald Trump's approval rating is showing signs of recovery, marking a potential turning point after weeks of political turbulence and economic uncertainty. Recent weeks have seen Trump's approval ratings plummet amid anxiety about the impact of his Liberation Day tariffs, which saw markets temporarily crash before bouncing back days later.
But after a sharp decline driven by economic anxiety, a recovery in his numbers suggests the president may be stabilizing his base and regaining control of the political narrative. Let's pull up the RealClearPolitics aggregate polling, my friends. And it's looking, this is really interesting stuff. Let me grab this. He's currently minus six. But look at the manic, let's call it manic, let's call it bipolar.
Take a look at this. If you go back the past couple of weeks, this makes literally no sense that Trump can be minus six, plus two, plus one, minus eight. The polls are insane. All I can say is within the margin of error, Trump could be minus nine. He could be minus three. When we look at Rasmussen, which has been pretty accurate, he's plus one. I wonder if they have Atlas Intel in here. They don't. But this has been pretty accurate as well. Now, let me let me show you why.
Ah, the new republic, our communist friends. Look at this picture of Donald Trump. Oh, come on. You know, they saturate Trump's face. This is the craziest thing about these people. I've met Trump in person. He is not that orange. This is a Photoshop. This is crazy. Trump does get spray tans, but he doesn't look like that.
They do that on purpose because if people are just going to the sources, all they see is Trump with an orange face and they lose their minds. Trump is actually quite a bit pale. I think they've you know, I'll say this, too. Are they implying that Trump only spray tans his face? I don't think it's a real image. Trump accidentally admits he hasn't made any trade deals. Trump has continually insisted that deals over his tariffs are coming. Uh huh.
Okay, well, here we go. Watch live. Trump unveils United Kingdom trade deal. First since reciprocal tariff pause. Really? President Trump unveiled a trade agreement with the United Kingdom. Deal with the UK is the first by the US with a country whose imports were subject to new tariffs. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is not in Washington, but is expected to participate in the event remotely. Let's take a look at this. We've got this post here from Troy Nails.
President Trump is the dealmaker in chief. He has reached a historic trade deal with the United Kingdom. President Trump and his entire administration are working hard to protect American industries, protect American workers, and grow our economy. Take a look at this. New market access, up to $5 billion in exports. Tariff revenue will be $6 billion, external revenue, from the 10% tariffs which remain. UK tariffs are dropping. So hold on there a minute.
Donald Trump negotiated more access for ethanol, beef, cereal, fruit, veggies, animal feed, tobacco, soft drink, shellfish, textiles, chemicals, machinery and more. And he's keeping the 10 percent tariff on the UK. Wow. That's a heck of a negotiation. So he goes to the UK and says, here's what we're going to do. You're going to give us way more access to everything and we're going to give you nothing. And they said, OK, fine.
You know, Trump probably said, take a look at China. You see how much higher we can go. We're going to stay at 10. You're going to open up your markets or we're going to go to 150. Don't you think? Look, this is what I love about Donald Trump. He sits down with the UK and he says, we're at 10 percent now. And they said, OK, well, let's go down to three percent. You know, let's go. Let's go. Let's go to four percent tariffs. So it's a little bit better for you is at three point four. And then we'll give you access. And Trump goes, no.
We're at 10. You could be at 150. I love it. Here's how I imagine it went down. Keir Starmer's like, OK, you're at 10. Let's let's bring yours down. We'll bring ours down and we'll meet in the middle. And Trump goes, no, Keir, I'm at 145 percent on my perceived adversaries. So here's what we're going to do. I'm going to be a nice guy and keep you at 10 percent. And we're going to call that a win for you.
And they said, yes, this deal is crazy. Let me say it again. Steel and aluminum trading union tariffs and quotas, pharmaceuticals, secure supply chain quota on UK auto exports, 10% tariffs on 100K quota, airplane parts, 10 billion Boeing procurement. Trump got a 10% tariff on the UK to stand and they gave him more. I mean, that's just incredible. And so they're sitting here saying Trump's failing. Now, I got to I got to take a pause here.
to revel in why the Democrats fail. We'll start with our friend Bernie Sanders. Let me just play. Let me let me let me let me let me show you. This guy is supposedly Bernie Sanders and AOC.
They are leading the fighting oligarchy oligarchy tour. Thirty thousand people showing up and they say this is these are the front runners of the Democrats. Let me tell you why the Democrats are failing. Five rallies in a week. The only way you can get around to talk to 30,000 people. They can be sitting on a waiting line at United waiting. You know what? Thirty thousand people are waiting. That's the only way you can get around. No apologies for that. That's what campaign travel is about. We've done it in the past. We're going to do it in the future. That's right.
Bernie needs his private jet because he needs to talk to 30,000 people. No, he wants to talk to 30,000 people. Bernie, Zoom exists. That's right. If you wanted to put your money where your mouth was, you get a big old screen on stage and you appear by webcam and say, I have Bernie Sanders and I don't fly private for nobody. Instead, he's like, I apologize for nothing. I actually respect the brazen hypocrisy. Oh, it gets better. Here we go.
Mays Moore on X says, great job, Bernie, fighting the oligarchy. Keep fighting that oligarchy. How can I get by on one house? I need five houses. I own three residences. Yeah, I do. I need jet planes to take me all over the world. Think I'm going to be sitting on a waiting line at United? That's the only way you can get around. No apologies for that. Sorry, the American people. We've got the money. We've got the power. Guess what? I'm a United States senator. How can I get by? Ha ha!
So what do you think happens when some 17-year-old starting to pay attention to politics on social media, about to enter the voting base, and they see this? Bernie Sanders is like, we can't have private jets because it's polluting, but I can. They're going to be like, oh, they're liars. That's just what they do. They lie. Bernie Sanders defends using private jets for fighting oligarchy tour. Oh, amazing.
Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has defended his use of private jets to travel during his fighting oligarchy tour. Since February, Sanders and Democrat AOC have been touring districts. Former President Joe Biden won in 2020, but Republican House members took in 24. His use of private jets to attend tour tour stops across the country has raised questions from conservative critics.

That's going light, to be completely honest. That's it.
I am still monitoring any new information on who the pope is going to be. But, you know, we'll see. We'll get more information when that happens. In the meantime, they say, according to the FEC, Sanders campaign committee, friends of Bernie Sanders, spent over two hundred and twenty one thousand dollars on private jets. Whoa. Yo. The filings showed he used three private jet companies, Ventura Jets, Cirrus Aviation Services and NJET.
Meanwhile, in April, Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez were filmed by Fox News boarding a 15. Is it supposed to be one hundred fifty thousand? That's fifteen thousand dollar per hour private jet to stops. My friends, as it turns out, I am familiar with private charter travel as I do it periodically. I think last year we flew maybe like five or six private flights. I'll tell you why. For one.
We as capitalists don't care when people who are capitalists succeed and then take private jets outright. I can just say I hope one day all of you get to get to experience a private flight. Private flights are wonderful. If you can afford them, it can streamline the process. It is a useful utility. And for those of us that believe we have a right to succeed on our merits, we largely don't complain when people buy nice cars and succeed. That being said.
Bernie Sanders doesn't do that. Bernie Sanders rags on everybody for flying on private jets. Now, I'll tell you why I fly private when I do. When we go to TPU, I say we've done it three times. The only way we can do it, we fly private. So what happens is we get a charter. It is expensive, but...
We're doing we're going one way only. We fly back commercial. We fly there because I think last year we had to get there on a on a I think we got there on the day of the show. I think it was like Friday. I can't remember what day it was. So I had to fly in the morning. I had to do morning work, catch a flight and get right to Arizona to run up on stage. And so there's no commercial flight. I can do that unless I skip IRL and the morning show, which is an insane amount of money, which we need to pay our employees.
So we say the amount of money we will save by doing those shows and then flying private makes it worth it. So we do. We do. And when I fly to certain shows, same thing. If I have to do IRL at night and then be somewhere first thing in the morning, depending on cost and everything, we'll fly private. Now I will let you guys in on a secret. What kind of jet do you think old Tim Pool flies on?
I don't. I fly on turboprops. Let me tell you. Most people don't know this stuff. So I've got some New York appearances coming up, which means that I've got to do my morning show, The Culture War, and then be in New York in, I think, about a week. We'll be going to a couple different shows and a couple different podcasts because we have to do marketing. I have to appear in other places. I have to debate people. Otherwise, like, you stagnate and it's bad for business. So...
I'm not going to skip the culture war. I'm not going to skip my morning show and take a commercial flight because, again, the amount of money we lose is going to be substantial. Now, see this right here we have on the screen, this flight that AOC and Bernie was on. Holy crap. In fact, you can look at the tail number and I hate that they darkened it. Can you guys figure out the tail number for what that was?
Because if you do, you can look up what kind of jet that is. But let me just tell you, having flown private, that is a massive PJ. I don't know what it is, a Learjet or something. Okay. I typically will fly on a King Air. They are several thousand dollars. I think from here to New York, it might be like 12 grand round trip.
for a King Air. It has no bathroom. It is from the 80s. And when I was talking to another wealthy guy and I said, I don't know if we're going to charter, we're going to go as cheap as we can. It's it's mostly about scheduling conflicts. And he was like, so what are you flying on? I said, King Air. Oh,
They don't rag on the king air. Turbo props are not jets. They're prop planes. They have propellers. They don't go very fast. But I don't got to do with waiting in line security. I don't got to be on the time of the airline, which means we say I have to be in New York at this time. We need a private charter. We're going to spend that money. We do the morning show. We make more than that. We can pay our employees. I skip the morning show, fly commercial. I lose way too much money. So that's why we do it. My point is this, guys, it's not a humble brag.
AOC and Bernie Sanders don't need to fly on that jet. They're intentionally choosing luxury. Let me stress that for you one more time. I really want to get this tail number here because then I can look up exactly. It's really annoying that they darkened it. There we go. Okay. It looks like W604XT. Let me see if I can find that. W604XT. I think that's the tail number, right? Okay.
Oh, is it an N? N604. Was that an N? Oh, okay. It looks like an N, right? Because I typed it in. N pops up. And let's see what kind of aircraft they're flying on. So this looks like the jet. Hard to tell for sure. All right. What kind of jet is this? Let's see what we got here. Owner. Aircraft type. It's a Canada Air Challenger CL60. Okay.
Speed is 536 miles. The max altitude of 36,000 feet with a range of 1,070 miles. CL-60 jet. Is that what it is? I don't know all my jets, to be completely honest. Let's see. Is that what it is? Canada Air Challenger 600. That looks like it. Can we get an image of this thing? Holy crap, dude. I wish, man. I wish. Take a look at this thing.
This looks like the same jet that they're flying on. I'm not entirely sure, but you can tell that when I say like I fly in a King Air, sometimes we will fly on like a small jet. I flew on like a small four-seater once because they're cheap. You can't stand up.
I don't care. I don't care. I'm not trying to waste money. I don't need the luxury. I'll sleep on a floor. However, I'm not a communist. So if I need to get somewhere on time and it's good for business, we're making it happen. But I'm also a penny pincher. It's funny to me that these commies are flying on one of the this is nuts. Is that is that what it is? A CL 60? It looks like it.
Either way, these people are flying on luxury, man. They are they are not there. They are playing dirty games. Yep. And Tim Turks is on our dime. Let me stress, some of these politicians are flying on your dime on taxpayer money for sure. Like when they flew to El Salvador, that wasn't private, though. I'm pretty sure AOC and Bernie were flying on PAC money. So what they're doing is they're going to they're going to that. You know why Bernie's like, I need to talk to 30,000 people.
Because Unity's thinking to himself, if 30,000 people each give me $10, I can fly more private jets, baby. He's not wrong. I agree with him. If all 30,000 people watching this right now gave me $10, heck, you could buy a 1980s turboprop for $250. And to be fair, maintenance, hangar costs, you know, not even if you're in a hangar, if you're like a renting space.
Yo, it's insanely expensive to actually operate your own private plane or turboprop. But Bernie is thinking, we go in front of these people, we're going to raise a lot of money, I can fly in more jets. I'm not kidding. My only problem with that is that he's a socialist. Is that this guy is going around saying, climate change is bad. Therefore, nobody should fly in private jets but me. Yeah. Well, my friends, for now, I just want to say, you know, we don't have any guests lined up for today.
But we will be moving into the next portion of this, the Gen Z turning right. So smash that like button. Share the show with everyone you know. You can follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast. We are going to wrap up the intro segment. Thank you all for hanging out. And we will see you all next time. A new pope. This guy from Chicago. This is historic. And it's Pope Leo XIV. Tremendous news. But many people are asking, is he based or is he woke?
And so far, there's a little bit of evidence that he may be woke. Mike Cernovich tweeting that he's an open borders globalist, saying that bringing in migrants in this is in reference to Pope Francis, a statement he said he made that this is what we are called upon to do. Now, let me slow down here.
Show you the info on the Pope for those that may have missed it. And then we'll talk about the latest developments. I don't want to say it's definitive. It's very preliminary because this is breaking news. But of course, the concern is going to be, is he woke? Looking like that may be the case. Trump congratulates Pope Leo XIV as first American to serve. He's from Chicago, of all places. Well, OK, I like that. But I do have concerns about someone being from this liberal bastion. Illinois is one of the most corrupt places in the country, if not the most corrupt state.
Trump wrote on Truth Social, congratulations to Cardinal Robert Francis Provost, who was named pope. It's such an honor to realize that he is the first American pope. What excitement and what a great honor for our country. I look forward to meeting Pope Leo XIV. It will be a very meaningful moment. Breaking news right now. OK, well, figuring out who this this fellow is. We have this post from Mike Cernovich, who said the new pope is an open borders globalist. And I said, oh, no, that's not good news.
Here's a tweet from Robert Provost himself. This is the man who is now pope. He was not expected to win. I don't think he was even in the top charts. Let me actually let me see if I can pull this up. Prediction markets for the future trade papal contracts. Let's see what who will be the next pope. It's hard to actually see. I'm trying to pull up.
Let's see. Where's Robert? Robert, this is amazing. This is absolutely amazing. Take a look at this from Kalshi, who will be the next pope. Robert Provost was at one percent. He was not anywhere, anywhere on this. And then all of a sudden he won. Could you imagine if you put a bet on that guy or if you bought a contract for a future event? I think we describe it.
This is what he said. He said, Okay, is he really open borders, though? This is what he tweeted. This is the article. They wrote,
Yesterday, Pope Francis wrote a letter from February, mind you, to the bishops of the U.S. about immigration and mass deportation. Well, the letter was addressed to the bishops. It was written in response to the Trump administration's program of mass deportation. It also directly addressed the proper interpretation of the Ordo Amoris, a theological concept that Vice President J.D. Vance introduced into the conversation on immigration.
Even though it was written to the bishops and is responding to the president and vice president, the letter poses an implicit question to the whole church of the U.S. Will we subject our political debates on immigration to the scrutiny of the gospel or not? In the background of the question are, on one hand, the clear teaching of the church and the consistent witness of the U.S. bishops to the human dignity of our migrant brothers and sisters. On the other, the fact that 56% of Catholic voters and 60% of white Catholic voters voted for President Trump.
Because of immigration, they say in the National Catholic Reporters pre-election poll of swing state Catholics, about three quarters of Trump supporters cited his position on immigration as favorable. Many Catholics and quite possibly the majority of Catholics voted not only in toleration, but an eager support of a view of immigration and immigrants that is starkly different than the one taught by the church. Two clarifications are in order.
They say, first, as the Holy Father notes in his letter, Catholic teaching both allows and calls for development of a policy that regulates orderly and legal migration. No one except those who are misrepresenting the church's advocacy and care for migrants claims that Catholics are in favor of illegal immigration or open borders. Second, what the catchism describes is the ability of political authorities to make exercise of the right to immigrate subjects to various jurisdictional conditions does not mean that all regulations and limitations on immigration are just.
In the same sentence, such regulation is qualified as for the sake of the common good. And earlier in the same section, the catechism, catechism, sorry, that's a catechism before the catechism teaches that the more prosperous nations are obliged to the extent they are able to welcome the foreigner in search of the security and the means of livelihood, which he cannot find in his country of origin.
In the U.S. Bishops Conference, Helpful Overview of the Catholic Social Teaching on Migration, they explained the right of people to migrate, including for economic reasons, and the right of the countries to control their borders must be harmonized in mercy and justice. Therefore, they say, quote, a nation may not simply decide that it wants to provide for its own people and no others. This means that it cannot be enough for someone who wants to seriously engage Catholic teaching to say they support legal immigration without also evaluating the justice of the highly restrictive legal conditions the U.S. currently imposes on immigration.
especially of low-skilled workers coming across the southern border. So let's go to the end and get the assessment, because it does look like they're basically saying, we get it, we get it, but we got to open the doors. Right now, many American Catholics do support and even cheer on attitudes towards immigration that show little sign of having been transformed or challenged by the gospel. Rather than continuing to try to justify ourselves, we need to hear Jesus asking us, who was neighbor to the immigrant on the border, to the immigrant in your cities, to the immigrant in detention or being deported?
The gospel does not offer a charter for how to legislate about immigration. It does offer a standard for how far we are to go to love our neighbor and a refusal to accept the limits we might be comfortable with on who our neighbors are. The question we need to answer is whether we judge our politics according to the gospel or the other way around. So I think the general idea, maybe I'm wrong about this. Excuse me.

They're basically saying the parable of the Good Samaritan begins in response to a scholar of the law who wished to justify himself and asked Jesus, who is my neighbor?
It includes Jesus asking who was neighbor to the robber's victim. Sounds like what they're saying is you Americans. Immigration policy is too strict. You were allowed to have a policy, but it's too strict. The story of the Good Samaritan, the first person to say no was saying, but what am I? What are my legal justifications here? Legal requirements.
So they go on quite a bit. I don't know if this in and of itself is evidence that this guy is a woke open borders globalist. But the concern, I suppose, is any argument that we should allow people to come into this country is trying to push the Overton window in that direction. It should be very simple. They should say we do not involve ourselves in the right of nations to and their sovereignty. That's simple.
You need to write a letter at all. In fact, anybody who wants to adhere to the American vision for what Trump is bringing, they'd likely say a moratorium is not out of the question that we shut down immigration for a few years so that we can deal with the illegal immigration problem. Once the problem is solved, reassess how and when we're opening those doors and to how many.
The idea that we'd argue that there is a happy medium of allowing more people in. And what I'm saying is they are arguing a happy medium by which we increase the amount of migrants, make it easier. I say that is not what the American people want. It is not what they voted for. And personally, I'm not a Catholic or a Christian. I say nice try ain't going to happen.
So this is the wiki for Robert Francis Provost. I will say, very cool he's from America and Chicago of all places. That's amazing. He's an American Peruvian Catholic prelate. He's been the head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of the Vatican City State since the 8th of May, literally just now. He was born in Chicago on September 14th, 55. So he's already 69 years old. The son of Luis Marius Provost and Mildred Martinez,
They're going to mention a bit about his his history and his priesthood. I don't know that anything in here shows that he is overtly far left or woke or anything like this. But I do think the Catholic Church is a problem. And that problem is they need more people. They need more Catholics. They need more Christians. Largely, they need Catholics. Obviously, they're not wanting people to go to other denominations. But with the changing situation.
attitudes of the far left. This is why many churches are going woke, because they're trying to bring you in and pander to you. I hope the Catholics don't do this. I've seen that they have in many circumstances. They're going to have to stick to their core values, and they should probably take a look what the American people want if they want to bolster their ranks. Because if they go against the popular mandate, people will reject this church and
I'm not saying Christianity or the church. I'm saying they will reject the leadership that is currently in place, which would be bad for Catholics. Let me know what you guys think. I don't know for sure. This is just breaking news on the Pope. Questions about whether he's woke or far left or what that might mean. Don't know for sure. But what I will do is leave it there.
