Illegal Immigrant WITH BLOWTORCH Arrested In LA, Wildfire GETS WORSE, Democrats REFUSE To Resign
01:16:06 Share

Arsonists, looters, many are wondering how these fires started and the Santa Ana winds, these high speed winds that come in once a year into California are expected to pick up this week. The fire is still barely contained. The death toll has now increased to 24.

And this, the L.A. wildfires, damages were estimated at between $130 to $150 billion, making this the most expensive fire in history. This is a terrifying story, my friends, but we all want to figure out how this happened. And the question is, because we don't want it to happen again.

And now there's a lot to this story. There is illegal immigrant suspected arsonists. There are illegal immigrant looters. There's an individual who was arrested dressing up like the fire chief in an effort to loot homes. The exploitation of this fire is terrifying. And I have to wonder, when a society scales so large, is it just that there's nothing you can do about it?

So there's a time-lapse video of how this fire began. And it starts as a small plume of gray smoke in a backyard garden. As the time-lapse continues, it becomes this raging fire that has wiped out a... I'll just say the largest, most... I should say the most expensive fire in history, not the largest. From a small little garden.

Now here's the terrifying reality of the scale of our society. When we're looking at these arsonists in a city, I mean, what does LA County have? 13 million people or some ridiculously large number like that? It takes only one, one person to destroy everything. Be it flicking a cigarette, maybe you're driving a truck and a chain falls off the back of the car, sparking on the ground, igniting brush.

Or somebody had a candle in their backyard and they were simply enjoying the sweet smell of vanilla and cinnamon. And then the candle tipped over and just like that. It takes the smallest of moments, the smallest of sparks. There's this video that went viral a while back where it's some young guys in front of their house and their lawns are all dried out.

And the dude is joking and he takes a lighter and he lights like a piece of grass. And then it jumps and the whole neighborhood, all the grass has just been burned out. You can't control that spread. It happens too quick. And this is the terrifying reality of where we are. With criminals, gangs, suspected cartel arsonists and looters. The interests here from these evil people, it's difficult to compete with. Now,

On top of all that, we have, of course, Gavin Newsom. We've got the fire chief. We've got the mayor. And oh, boy, is there a lot of blame to go around. So let's let's first take a look at these stories of what's going on. These arsonists, these suspects, people being caught with blowtorches. My understanding is that one of these fires that was put out, a smaller one, I say smaller, but actually was burning decently large. Like I think it was around like 11 acres. Turns out that it was an arsonist who started it.

They are trying to start these fires to force evacuations so they can loot the homes. And they're doing it because the people that have been caught so far, probably a small percentage of those that are actually engaging in this behavior. Now, what I want to add is, you know, I'm looking at this map and I mentioned that I know people in these areas or, you know, I've known people who live out in California. It's pretty crazy to see this. I can tell you

My friends, my understanding is they're all OK, but some have their families have lost things. And I'm looking at this map and I'm like, I know who lived there. Not not a friend, a friend of a friend. But like we we went to that person's house in the Palisades once and it is gone. It's terrifying, man. And it may actually just be that it is arsonists and illegal immigrants and others that are doing it. Take a look at this story.

Post-millennial, homeless man arrested for arson in Azusa Park amid ongoing L.A. wildfires, according to police. Why? This is crazy. The suspect, identified as Jose Carranza Escobar, who the police described as a transient with a last known address in Azusa, was found standing near the flames. Now, this looks like a small fire that didn't spread out of control. But here's the issue.

That's why they caught him. He was caught at the fire when it was small. For these fires that are larger, I think they're likely arson, many of them. And we just not caught who did it. The stories get absolutely crazy, man. Look at this. Suspect arrested with flamethrower near LA fire is an illegal immigrant. The flamethrower? Okay, it looks like a blowtorch of some sort. Take a look at this story.

The homeless man tackled and zip tied by onlookers who say he was trying to start fires with a blowtorch near a Los Angeles wildfires, an illegal immigrant who will likely be protected by California sanctuary city status. The suspect identified as Juan Manuel Sierra Leyva is a Mexican national who was in the U.S. illegally. Immigration and Customs Enforcement told Fox News he

He was chased and taken down by residents of Woodland Hills after they allegedly saw him torching old Christmas trees and debris on fire with what one resident described as a flamethrower soon after the massive wildfire began Thursday. Could this be the guy who basically started the wildfires?

The suspect is being held on a felony probation violation, LAPD said, without detailing his previous conviction. Detectives are still investigating it as possible arson. But LAPD Assistant Chief Dominic Choice said Friday there was not immediately enough evidence for that charge. And how do you do it? How do you prove it? If this guy went seriously, flicked a cigarette, how would you ever have any evidence? That tiny little spark. But wait, there's more. It keeps happening.

Let me see if I can get to the, I want to grab the arson stories here so you can understand all this before we go into the greater details. Firefighters catch second arsonist in the act of starting new blazes in Los Angeles days after cops arrest illegal immigrant with a blowtorch. It's not stopping.

Ruben Montes, 29, was arrested for arson on Sunday in Irwindale, California, roughly 16 miles away from Altadena, where the deadly Eaton fire continues to rage. Firefighters were responding to a small brush fire in Irwindale when they witnessed Montes starting blazes in the area. He was detained by officers at the scene and ultimately arrested for arson. Details surrounding the incident are limited, and police have not revealed where Montes was booked.

Police have also not revealed if Montez was responsible for starting the brush fire or if any of the blazes that he allegedly lit have caused damage. It is also unclear if he has any ties to the other fires ravaging L.A. How much do you want to bet that the big fires, the Palisades fires, this was intentional? The reporting is that about a week before the fire started, they had put out a warning saying we are in high fire season. It is extremely low humidity. It is very dry and there's no rain.

Could it have been that someone saw that and said, now's my chance? I'm not entirely convinced. What I think is that the fire started and these looters and arsonists have realized as the Palisades fire destroys homes and forces evacuations, they can go in and take what they want. Take a look at this. This is from Nick Sorter. The man arrested after he was caught with a blowtorch attempting to start fires on an illegal alien. There's video of this. Look at this.

Someone posted a video. We helped catch a guy trying to start a fire on my block. And that's the guy we mentioned earlier. The evil. The evil and the depravity. It's terrifying stuff, man. Take a look at this one. Criminal was arrested after he dressed up as a firefighter to loot homes. These people are the absolute scum of the earth. I can't, I, you know, I don't want to say I can't believe it, but I can believe it. It looks like this might be the Pacific Coast Highway where they caught the guy.

I can't, it's crazy to me, you know? It's absolutely crazy. Here's the latest on where the fire is. And we've got a lot more to break down, of course. There's rumors that the fire chief may have been fired already, but we're not entirely sure. LA Times reporting, death toll from Palisades and Eaton Fire climbs to 24. Look at this image, man. It's all gone. That's crazy. The Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center burns during the Eaton Fire.

The number of confirmed deaths from the devastating Palisades and Eaton fires jumped to 24 on Sunday evening. Eight of the fire victims died in the Palisades fire and 16 in the Eaton fire in Altadena, according to a news release from LA County Medical Examiner. Two of the victims have been officially identified by the county agency. Victor Shaw, 66. He died from smoke inhalation. That's sad. I want to read this story for you. And this is where we get into the, I think there's got to be

criminal charges when I read this story. Let me pull up this story from CBS. Former child actor Rory Sykes killed in L.A. fires as water ran dry, his mother said. I read this. I was filled with sadness and rage, the likes of which I rarely experience. And I'll say it lightly, but never, or I should say rarely,

Have I felt such rage that I wanted to be physical with the individuals who have caused this? The arsonists, the looters, these evil people. I'm going to give you just a story. Former child actor, he's disabled. And the story goes that his mom, her arm was broken and she couldn't lift him out. And he said, mom, leave me. And so she went to get help. She went to the fire department and they said they had no water.

When they rushed back to the home, the building had collapsed and Rory was dead. And there are looters and there are arsonists and they are people who have neglected their duties and been derelict. And this story really, really punches you in the gut. It's brutal stuff. An Australian mother has spoken of how she tried in vain to save her blind son from the wildfires. Shelley Sykes, a TV production entrepreneur,

told Australian media of a desperate battle to save her 32-year-old son, Rory Sykes, who had cerebral palsy. Rory Sykes appeared in the British TV show Kitty Capers in the 1990s, had his own self-contained cottage on the estate. Her son was blind and had difficulty walking. Rory's feet with the heat started to swell and he couldn't walk very well. And he had problems with his tummy. So he didn't want to be far from the bathroom, Sykes told Australian Channel 9. He said, "'Mum, you go. I'm staying.'"

Sykes said she could not leave her son alone on the estate. I stayed in the main property with my two peacocks in the bathroom because it was hard to breathe. Sykes said she saw embers on the roof of her son's cottage and tried to extinguish them with a hose, but there was no water coming out. She drove to the closest fire station seeking help, but was told they too had no access to water. When the fire department took Sykes back to her property, she found the cottage had been reduced to just black ash. There was nothing there. I'm just devastated. It's unreal. I cannot breathe.

I've got a broken arm. I couldn't lift him. I couldn't move him. Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said it was aware of reports of an Australian man had died and was engaging closely with local authorities. You know, I think a lot of people don't understand how quickly, how quickly these fires will wipe a building out. And so the first thing, you know, I'm thinking is how long did it take to try and get help? But it could be minutes and the building comes down. This is horrifying, man.

Let me show you this clip. You've seen it. I'm going to play it again. I'm going to play that again for you. I'm sure many of you may have heard this. This is...

This is Larson. I'm drawing a blank on what this person's position was. Diversity chief. Okay, there you go. I'm going to play that again for you. Yeah, that's the world they live in.

Let me explain to you my disdain for these for this woke ideology, for these people, for what the Democratic Party has pushed in places like California. They tell you that the world they want to build is equity and inclusion. And the reality is they lack merit and capability. And so the response is no.

Your husband got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire. Because she can't. Because she is a frail, obese, pathetic individual without the capabilities to do the job. But hey, L.A. is very satisfied that they have a black lesbian individual in the position as opposed to any individual of any background who could do the job. Now, when they defend their ideology, of course they say,

A man, your husband needs to be carried out. How about this, Larson? How about a disabled individual who can't walk? Did that person get themself in the wrong place when they were sitting in their cottage and a wildfire destroyed their home, killing them? Was that their fault? They got himself in the wrong place? These people are evil.

They don't care about saving you. They don't care about saving lives. They care about adhering to their psychotic cult. And it results in the death of the disabled. That's why that's one of the reasons I absolutely detest. I loathe these people and their ideology. Rory Sykes did not get himself in the wrong place. He was living peacefully in California.

and a wildfire started. Some of it may have been caused by arson. One of these individuals appears to be an illegal immigrant who may have started these fires. So perhaps it is this ideology that causes the problems, exacerbates the problems, and then leaves you to die. And they mock you while you do. This is, it's decay. It's cultural corruption and decay. You know, I dream of a world, and maybe I romanticize this country, where

If there was a fire chief and a fire broke out and someone died, their response was the buck stops with me. We didn't get there in time. We should have. I'm sorry. You know, even though it wasn't really the firefighters fault, even though it wasn't really the fault of the government, they said, we didn't, we failed you. We weren't able to save lives that day. That's the world I dream of or think of. Instead, we now have an inversion.

Fire chief is apparently... So the conflicting reporting right now is the fire chief has been fired. But apparently the mayor's office told ABC7 that Crowley has not been fired. So we don't know for sure. How is Newsom still governor? How is he not resigned? How is Bass not resigned? How is the fire chief not resigned? How are the fire hydrants empty? It's a really funny post. It's kind of sad, actually, where...

Some liberal guy shows the high winds blowing palm trees and embers spraying from the trees. And he says, can any MAGAs explain to me how a firefighter is supposed to stop this? And I just, you put water on it. Next question. Seriously, these people are evil, stupid, and often both. When you have fires, you put water on it. This is what you do. When your reservoirs haven't been filled,

You don't have water. Guess what else? About 10 years ago, it's been reported that they voted to build more reservoirs because there was a drought. They did not do it. Gavin Newsom didn't care. Karen Bass didn't care. They are, this is what Democrats do. It's the lowest common denominator. The short-term gains, the long-term losses. They don't care. They're not going to resign. They're not going to accept responsibility. They're not going to start deporting people. They will change nothing.

Now, one of the funniest things about this, I mean, nothing's funny, haha, but I would say one of the ironic and disturbing things about this, Gavin Newsom says he's suspending environmental regulation to begin the cleanup effort.

So these people are bashing their faces on the wall, screaming this is climate change's fault, despite the fact that it's discernibly not. Like when you have an illegal immigrant with a blowtorch and people screaming he's trying to start fires and they're like, climate change. Was climate change the guy's name? His name is old Rick Climate Change. That's what they mean to say? Because it's a dude, we can see. They blame climate change. Then, though this is climate change, in order...

To clean things up, they say suspend all the environmental regulations. I got a question for you. How many of these progressives who voted in these policies and these individuals are going to now go and protest the environmental regulations being lifted? Zero. Now, there may be some activists, don't get me wrong, but the property owners, they ain't going to protest this because these people are evil. They are evil people. Sorry. That's the banality of evil. If you own property...

on the PCH and Palisades or whatever, and you voted for the regulations, I should say you voted for the people that did not do their jobs, and you protest and vote for climate change and all of these things, and then the moment you are negatively affected, you vote to lift it all, that's evil. Now, I will pause and say, the regulations should be lifted. Climate change isn't causing this. These people are nuts. But my point is that they vote for the destruction of

with that in total ignorance and apathy, and then they vote for self-preservation instantly. Nothing's going to change these people. No, no, no. I'm not blaming the victims here. There are many, many people I know who didn't vote for any of that stuff. And to a certain degree, I understand the ignorance. I understand. So we don't, we don't, I don't want to blame people in a crisis. I'm not going to ignore the fact that you get what you vote for. So if these people are voting for these things,

If they're voting for these politicians, these politicians are refusing to resign, and then they're cutting themselves these special deals. I'm just, I'm sorry. I'm hoping that the suspension of environmental regulation is a wake-up call for these people. But my point is, if they believe climate change caused this, and they want to bypass climate change regulations so they can build their houses, they're basically saying they believe the world is ending.

Humans are causing it, and they should get a special exemption. Just like those people who fly to Davos or to COP, the climate action, they fly there in private jets. These wealthy millionaires and billionaires and global elites say, we got to stop climate change. One private jet, please. They don't actually believe it. They want you to live in the pod and eat the bugs while they get special treatment. If we deal with the illegal immigration and the crime, a lot of these fires probably wouldn't be happening.

If you vote out these individuals like Newsom and Bass, these fires would have been solved. They would have been stopped. They're saying the Santa Ana winds are going to pick up and it's going to get worse. They're saying it's going to get worse this week. Take a look at this. Four fires visible right here. And the Palisades fire is getting bigger. It is spreading into Malibu. It's absolutely crazy. You wonder about some of these areas. How did they avoid the worst of this? I'm glad they did. You know, I...

It's not all rich people. It's largely wealthy individuals, but nobody deserves to have their homes destroyed like this. But I got to tell you, when you vote for these people, you get what you vote for. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. Next segment's coming up at noon. Don't miss it.

And of course, when the Maui wildfires happened, there were conspiracies abound.

One of those theories was that the fire was started by space laser beams. That's right, folks. Lasers from outer space. The question of which ethnic group was running those laser beams remains unknown. I'm kidding, by the way. But yeah, people actually thought that. It's absurd, guys.

The transferring energy from that heightened satellites to start a fire, it's very, very unlikely. I suppose if you had a ton of satellites all pointing in the same spot, maybe you could start a small fire. But it's silly because you don't need that for this conspiracy to exist. But anyway, I digress. The conspiracy was that it was intentional. The fires were started to wipe out the land so the government could seize it.

Right now, there are similar conspiracy theories. With Gavin Newsom announcing his Marshall Plan and the suspension of environmental regulations, it's gotten many people thinking, is there something else behind this? Like, were you aware this would happen and you already have a plan in place? Now, my friends, I don't believe the conspiracy theories. I'm not a fan of that. You don't need the conspiracy theories to explain the incompetence of Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, their fire chief, and all of that stuff.

They've been warned. We knew these fires were possible. We knew the Santa Ana winds would be coming. There was a warning week before you don't need these conspiracy theories. You really, really don't. But I will tell you this. Democrats are famous for exploiting a crisis in order to benefit themselves. And that's what I think we're seeing is the fire rampages through L.A. People like Gavin Newsom are simply saying, how do we maximize our benefit here?

And of course, one of the controversies is the ActBlue controversy, which I've got a video coming up at 4 p.m. at YouTube.com slash TimCast for all of you. Big controversy there over how they're raising money during this disaster. But yeah, of course, Democrats exploit a crisis. I had a conversation with a liberal personality on TimCast IRL, and this had come up a few years ago. And he said, when else should they try to enact change?

And that's their worldview. When a crisis strikes, instead of saying, we're going to take care of you, fix your homes, they say, no, no, no, no. How can we exploit this to our advantage? Which brings us to the series of conspiracies around the Marshall Plan, as Gavin Newsom calls it.

From Deadline.com, Gavin Newsom in a Meet the Press interview talks of organizing Marshall Plan to rebuild L.A. after apocalyptic fires, which, of course, has people suspecting he may have known the whole time. Again, I don't think so. But let's jump over to this from First Post. Was it arson or Sean Diddy Combs? The conspiracy theories spreading like the L.A. wildfires. All right.

Well, conspiracy theories are fun. Let's entertain what people think about what started these fires. I want to pause real quick and just say we think we already know what started the fires. There was a in the same location, a New Year's Eve celebration, which started a fire. The fire was put out. And the concern is the embers keep burning. It wasn't completely put out. And this may have been New Year's Eve revelers.

Starting a fire on accident, firefighters believing it was extinguished, but the ember still burned. And then a few days later, but who knows? We really don't. So let's go back and we'll talk about the conspiracy theories before we jump into what the Marshall Plan really is. I want to add one of the components of this conspiracy theory is that in the Meet the Press interview, it looks like a green screen. People are wondering why it is this looks so fake.

It's probably the camera stability, the lighting. It makes it look like Gavin Newsom is not, and I think that's, who's that, Jacob Soboroff? What's that guy's name? It makes it look like they're not really there. But anyway, conspiracies are more fun. So let's, here we go. A directed energy weapon attack. Oh my God. As the wildfires ravage LA, it may have been caused by a direct energy weapon attack designed to erode humanity.

According to one of the most widely spread conspiracy theories online. The theory gained traction after a video clip surfaced appearing to show an unidentified object flying through the sky during the fires. Really? Then another account identified as the Patriot Voice wrote, Uh-huh.

Many users drew parallels between the current wildfires and the devastating blaze in Lahaina last year. One user wrote, this has Maui written all over it. Same script, different location. Heartbreaking for those poor people. Many on social networks have said the palm trees standing tall in the face of fires are proof that it's the result of a directed energy weapon attack. Cars and homes are burned, but trees are still standing. Suggesting that an apparent heat attack had deliberately targeted people's livelihoods. Okay, well...

I'm not an expert, but it is harder to burn a tree that has water in it than a home which is made of dry wood. OK, but I could be wrong. We've seen videos of the trees burning.

They say there's little proof to make the claim credible. Currently, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection is investigating the cause of the wildfire, which has been blazing for days. Also, many trees do survive wildfires because of their adaptation skills. For instance, thick barks of trees insulate the inner layers. Heat from the wildfire occurs at ground level and doesn't reach the tree canopy, especially if there's not very many trees around them. Still, many trees collapse.

Incidentally, the use of directed energy weapons has been falsely linked with past wildfires too, including the ones in Hawaii and Texas. I'm going to pause you right there. You can't just say falsely. That implies you know for a fact. We don't. It's just ridiculously unlikely and not necessary. My guy, my friends.

Some of you may be saying, Tim's dismissing it. Dude, if Gavin Newsom or any other politician wanted a fire, they need only flick a cigarette. You don't need to get a laser gun. Directed energy of a blast. You don't need it. You can literally just flick a cigarette. Silly. It's terrifying. 15-minute cities. Ooh, here's another theory. Another theory is that Newsom and Biden want to implement 15-minute cities. The concept of urban planning

where daily necessities and services are within 15 minutes of a walk, a bike ride or transit trip has become a recurring theme of conspiracy theories. OK, well, first of all, it's a real idea. 15 minute cities, they actually do want. But how do you actually build a 15 minute city in a place like L.A. that's already developed? It would have to be destroyed. That's actually the most plausible thing, in my opinion. But you don't actually think I think that's the Marshall Plan. Is this the here we go deadline?

I think what's actually more likely is that because of these disasters, they rush in and say, now's our chance. I don't think they start the disasters, especially in the Palisades, because these people are their donors. The idea that Democrats would wipe out one of their largest donor blocks so they could build a 50-minute city is ridiculous. If the government was going to do a laser weapon, they'd burn down a small Bumpkinville city or a smaller town where the insurance payouts...

or the size would justify intervention, but not the Palisades. It's all Hollywood. It's all these celebrities who are dumping millions of dollars into their campaigns. I don't know. People still believe it. Let me play this video from, we got this clip from human David Hamati. He said, this should frighten you. Gavin Newsom said his Marshall plan. We already have a team re-imagining LA 2.0. What? He's already had the team pre-fire? Yeah.

This means no single family zoning, public transit for all, equity, climate, DEI agenda. We need new leaders, et cetera, et cetera. Let me play the clip for you from Meet the Press. Over the course of the next several years, Los Angeles will be host to the World Cup. Or NBC News, sorry. And then the Super Bowl and then the Olympics. With this rebuilding effort needing to take place, is LA going to be ready for all of those global events? My humble position, and it's not...

just being naively optimistic, that only reinforces the imperative moving quickly, doing in the spirit of collaboration and cooperation. President of the United States, Donald Trump, to his credit, was helpful in getting the Olympics.

to the United States of America to get it down here in LA. We thank him for that. This is an opportunity for him to shine, for this country to shine, for California and this community to shine. The opportunity with all of that and all that opportunity and that pride and spirit that comes from not just hosting those three iconic games and venues, but

also the opportunity I think to rebuild at the same time and that's why we're already organizing a Marshall Plan. We already have a team of looking and reimagining LA 2.0 and we're making sure everyone's included not just the folks on the coast people here that were ravaged by this disaster. You just said you're organizing a Marshall Plan for the rebuilding of California. What is that Marshall Plan? For this region we're just starting to lay out. I mean we're still fighting.

It was meet the press. I thought I was right about that. I don't know. That's neither here nor there. I do think it's funny that it looks like a green screen, but I want to point out,

Democrats are going to exploit a crisis. That's what they're going to do. OK. And to progressive activists who like Gavin Newsom and live in that smarmy reality, this is exactly what they want and exactly what they vote for. They're like the governor has put together a team. He's got a plan. He's going to rebuild L.A., L.A. 2.0. Now we can sit here and criticize it and say, give people the decentralized capability to rebuild their homes and live the lives the way they choose. But Democrats are authoritarian. They're going to say no.

This is our chance to take over, come down with an iron fist and a boot, and stop the climate change or the climate crisis. Now, granted, Newsom's going to be suspending, we have the story here, suspending landmark environmental laws to ease rebuilding wildfire zones. Rules for thee, but not for me, Gavin Newsom. But that's the reality of what we're looking at.

I love this because as there are claims of conspiracies, the media once again can't help themselves. Why right wing influencers are blaming the California wildfires on diversity efforts because you don't have enough firefighters. You fired many for not getting vaccinated and you refuse to hire white people. That's, you know, that's the idea. Welcome to California, my friends. I see in this country we have a deep problem. And the concern that I see is

The disparate worldviews are at such odds with each other, they can't coexist. We who don't live in California are terrified by what they do. Granted, Donald Trump is less, it's just about one week from, literally a week from being inaugurated. And we're going to be here, the confirmation hearings are beginning this week. So I'm not going to sit here and wallow in self-pity over what I think Democrats might be trying to exploit. I am going to sit here and cross my fingers and

that Trump's administration is going to make positive moves against this stuff. But we will see, my friends. Look, I wish the people of L.A. the best of luck. I don't trust Gavin Newsom, but I don't believe the conspiracy theories either. I do think Democrats are exploiting this for personal gain and then some. I'll wrap it up there. Next segment's coming up at 1 p.m. on this channel. Thanks for hanging out. We'll see you all then.

Yeah, a lot of people told me that after Donald Trump won in November, kind of surprising, actually, not only did he win, but it was very quick. A lot of people told me that there was going to be a realignment on the Democrat side, that they were going to recognize their mistakes. It's the only way to recover. And what's not happening, I mean, Trump's not president yet, but based on what we're seeing, it's only going to get worse for Democrats as they double down and spiral out of control.

Now, of course, there is still John Fetterman. You may have seen him. He is playing the game very well. We know what he's doing. He's even got some Republicans cheering him on. The dude is playing this moderate game where publicly speaking, he's like, you know, what's so why? You know, why do we do this? Why do we do it? It's sounding like he's agreeing with Elon Musk or conservatives when it comes to voting. However, he is party line Democrat.

He gets it. He sees what's happening in Pennsylvania. And he knows that if he wants to get reelected, he's got to come off as a moderate. But he's basically the only one. So good luck, Fetterman. He's going to get attacked because of this. And the Democrat machine hasn't learned a dang thing. Now, to be fair, the corporate press is faltering. And maybe they're starting to realize why. The big news today is that the Washington Post's traffic is down 90%.

Ah, yes. A platform that just posts mis and disinformation. The corporate press. How about that? Democracy dies in darkness. Well, Bezos wouldn't allow the paper to endorse Kamala. So crackpot Jennifer Rubin quit. Apparently, that's the one of the principal reasons. But she recently made a statement that's going viral where she says Republicans are trying to kill kids. They haven't learned a lesson. And I'm here for it.

The concern we have is that Trump's only got about a year to enact his agenda before squishy congressional Republicans fall apart. Democrats maybe turn around in the midterms. Who knows? Then the back half of Trump's second term, they're going to obstruct him once again. I kind of think based on the track we're seeing for Democrats, it's looking really bad for them because they're not learning their lesson. Well, let's start here.

Let me play this video of Jennifer Rubin, who's nuts. And we can hear what she has to say. Before we do, my friends, you got to go to boonieshq.com. Why? Because the Tim Pool Pro Model 28th Amendment skateboard, now available. That's right, ladies and gentlemen. Chickens being necessary to the security of a free state. The right of the people to keep, bear, and breed chickens shall not be infringed. Is the latest skateboard for the MyGraphic.

And we've sold out of one of the sizes, but we still have a handful that are in stock. So if you think that the right to keep a bear and breed chickens shall not be infringed, purchase the 28th Amendment skateboard over at Booneys HQ. But let's jump back to the news. Let me play this clip from Jennifer Rubin. It's funny because she supposedly was a conservative, but her brain turned to, you know, I'd want to say Jell-O, but that's offensive to Jell-O. Jell-O is delicious. It turned into some kind of

I don't know. This is called a stringent sludge. Talk broad themes. You have to boil it down to nuts and bolts and you have to be pithy. What do I mean by pithy? How about this? Republicans want to kill your kids. It's actually true. If you're going to oppose vaccinations, if you're going to stop breakthrough medical research, if you're going to allow minors and all sorts of people to get semi-automatic weapons, which they use to shoot up schools, well, then you are responsible for kids'

health and death, unfortunately. It has to be that simple and that direct, and it has to be over and over and over again. So, you know, it's really funny. I mean, she's insane, clearly.

But this is what you get from the corporate press. Now, she left The Washington Post and The Washington Post is in the gutter. So, OK, fine. But let's play this again. And I just give you a simple debunking of this broad themes. You have to boil it down to nuts and bolts. And, you know, I should say she sounds crazy to the way she talks. You have to be pithy. You have to be pithy. What do I mean by pithy? How about this? Republicans want to kill your kids.

It's actually true. Well, it's actually not true, but sure. You know, it's really funny because Democrats are the party of abortion, which literally kills kids. So, you know, anyway. Going to oppose vaccinations if you're going to stop breakthrough medical research, if you're going to allow minors and... No, that's what's positive. Okay. Medical research...

So oppose vaccination. Yeah, that's contentious because conservatives are split across the board on the issue of requiring vaccination. It's not actually a principal party line issue for Republicans. And there are some that oppose them outright, some that oppose only the new ones, MRNA, and some who are out like just like I don't care one way or the other. Oppose breakthrough medical research.

That's just a made up thing that no one's talking about. I don't know. If you're going to allow minors and all sorts of people to get semi-automatic weapons, which they use to shoot up schools. Well, they...

So I just pause there and say, relative to the amount of people who buy guns, the school shootings are markedly rare, uncommon occurrences, unrelated to the purchasing of weapons. Do crazy people do it? Indeed. Is it bad? Of course it is. But what does that have to do with like a kid who's doing a sport shooting or or any kind of general training like that?

Nonsense. And you are responsible for kids' health and death, unfortunately. Yeah, that's the craziest thing imaginable because like most people who have weapons aren't using them to hurt people in any kind of like direct violent way. To then say that

Because Republicans want that issue, they want to kill your kids. Okay, let's play this game. Jennifer Rubin wants to mercilessly batter and murder children. Personally, she does. She said it because she thinks that minors should be allowed to drive cars and cars are used to run kids over.

That means that Jennifer Rubin wants to murder children personally. She does. She wants them murdered. Oh, come on. That's the stupidest thing imaginable. These people are nuts. This is why it just doesn't work anymore. I don't know what world she grew up in, but she is nuts, okay? Well, here you go, ladies and gentlemen. The Washington Post has lost nearly 90% of its audience. And I say good riddance to a bad problem. There's a reason. People are waking up. And it's because the Washington Post had...

psychotic morons like Ruben. Holy... You know what, man? I don't know what... I don't know what for, okay? I'm 38. In two months, I'm going to be 39. All right? I mean, middle age, just around the corner. I guess technically I'm there. What is it? 79 is life... I'm halfway there. 79 is life expectancy for an American male. Apparently, my family lives a really long time, so we'll see. But...

When I turn 60, is my brain going to fall out of my head like these people? Like, were they always this dumb? Holy crap. If it does, you know, let me ride off into the sunset. But I guess I just I'm wondering, is it like what is she? She's a boomer. Ruben, was she always this stupid?

And they just employ people like that. Because I'm terrified when I see how stupid these people are. I'm like, when they were in their 30s running these media companies, did their brains not work then the same as now? Or is it like as they get older, their brains stop working? I kind of think they were just always stupid. Because like, I know a lot of people who are older than her who aren't nearly as dumb. But I'm just saying like,

Is that going to happen to us in media? Like our brains just turned to astringent goo. Look at this. Washington Post subscriber and readership base has reportedly tanked over the last four years. Data on web traffic over the last four years shows that their 2024 numbers shrank substantially. Now, here's the thing, though. They said the beginning of Biden's term, the site saw 22.5 million daily users. Yeah, guys, that was January 6th. That was the election. I don't know that it's fair.

especially during COVID lockdown, to be like, look how good they were doing. Look how well they were doing. And now they're doing very, very poorly. I love this. The site saw around 22.5 million users per day, and now they're getting 2.5 to 3 million users per day. You know why that's really crazy? That means that Timcast rivals the Washington Post. Wow, that's nuts.

I don't know. Yeah, it's crazy. I hung out with Greg Kelly, great guy, went on a show in New York. And he was saying like, you're the biggest guy. And I'm like, we're not. It's a big show. And I do a handful of shows. Maybe we need to do more shows because if we are smarter, better, faster, and almost equally as successful as the Washington Post, they're declining and we're on the rise.

We got to get the ball rolling and we got to create a media enterprise that shuts down the BS and gives you the real news in a real way. I suppose we do. I'm just saying we got to we got to fight harder. That's kind of crazy. Last year, Washington Post stopped disclosing its traffic on press releases after a decline of 60 percent. During the same time, the outlet's revenue fell from 190 to 174 million. Yeah, but like 174 million. Damn, man.

We're doing something wrong over here. We're talking with these ad networks because that's the thing. The Washington Post, guys, go to timcast.com, click join us, become a member. That's the struggle right there. Do we just paywall like Washington Post does because it works? How is it that we have a comparable viewership, but we ain't going anywhere near $174 million? And that's supposedly bad for them.

Well, we're going to figure it out, my friends. We're going to figure it out. But the good news is, as these crackpots lose status and they lose money, we are coming up behind them. So what I will wrap up by saying is they're failing. Their narrative machine is crumbling and they're maintaining the same narrative. They don't seem to understand. I got to be honest. Looks like smooth sailing from here.

I'll wrap it up, my friends. Smash that like button. Subscribe to this channel. Next segment's coming up at 4 p.m. over at youtube.com slash timcast. It's a different channel. Go check it out. We're breaking down the ActBlue scandal. Thank you all for hanging out. We'll see you all then. Don Lemon!

is totally irrelevant and I don't even know why I'm talking about the guy. But okay, to be fair, he exemplifies the absurdity and the stupidity of liberals as he goes on what is described as a profanity-laced rant against MSNBC's morning Joe Obama for cozying to Trump, F you. Well, Don Lemon was never the most prominent guy. He was on CNN for a bit. The ratings were in the gutter, but hey, like, you know, they had ratings. So people know who this guy is. You know who he is.

Okay, well now he's doing his own YouTube show and he's trying to generate attention or something, but this ain't it, my guy. So here's the problem.

I consider myself to be reasonable. I try my best to be correct, but sometimes I'm wrong. And so that means that if Donald Trump does something good, I will say, okay, that's fine. If he does something bad, I'll say that's bad. I criticized him over the Trump derail thing. I criticized him when it was, I think it was a State Department website advertising Trump property. He's like, there's things you can call out Trump for. Nobody's perfect. But Don Lemon going after MSNBC, Obama,

Because they were talking to the guy or because they dared to say maybe he's right about something is top tier insanity. And you know why I'm doing this video? Because I want you all to revel in the desperation of the cult. They can't break away. They have a narrative they have to adhere to. They cannot be people who say maybe we should change course. Now, MSNBC did. And some people are starting to be like, OK, well, look, you know, Cenk Uygur, he's like, what are we going to do?

And he gets criticism for it, sure. But Don Lemon has decided he's going to stay the course. And this means, as I mentioned with Jennifer Rubin in the previous segment, that, well, my friends, moving into the 2026 midterms, I think Republicans will be all right. Now, of course, there are variables I can't predict. Things are going to change. And there's good reason to believe that Republicans lose midterms. It tends to happen.

Maybe Trump and the Republicans do so well and Democrats go so unhinged like Don Lemon here that ultimately Republicans hold Congress. That would be massive. But who knows? Let me let me read some of the story for you. Then I'll play this clip. And this is a lot to do with this right here. So we lost the Daily Beast thing. There's an image of Trump and Obama and Obama's laughing and smiling. We don't know what Obama said to Trump or Trump said to Obama.

Imagine that Trump sits next to Obama and Obama says something like, you know, Trump, we tried to get you, but we couldn't. And then Trump says something to him like, well, wait to see what we have in store for you. You are going to like it. And then Obama laughs and smiles and goes, oh, yeah, you're going to try. But the point I'm trying to make here is just because Obama laughed and smiled doesn't mean he's friends with Trump. He could be laughing as a show of arrogance or rejection. Like we don't know that they're friends. I really doubt it's like that.

Trump was probably like, you didn't think I was going to do it. And then Obama laughed. He's like, well, you know, you got me. You got me, huh? Who knows? But the funny thing is, simply seeing Obama smile at a comment from Trump has them so angry. No, Obama can't laugh at things Trump says. And here we are from the New York Post.

Another week, another expletive-filled tirade from frequently fired independent commentator Don Lemon. Less than two weeks after his first wild meltdown about Trump, the erstwhile CNN anchor and short-lived ex-partner has again embarked on another stream of potty mouth invective. Speaking on his YouTube program, he took aim at mourning Joe co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Micah Brzezinski, whom Lemon pilloried for a Friday segment of the Paris MSNBC show, blah, blah, blah, because they were acting civilly towards Trump.

Well, Libs of TikTok has the clip saying Don Lemon had an unhinged meltdown and blasts MAGA in a profanity-laced rant after Trump and Obama were seen talking civilly with one another in public.

So when you see something like what happened yesterday, people have a right to be concerned because they go, well, if they're going to do that there publicly, what are they going to say and do behind closed doors? If they're going to acquiesce seemingly like that publicly, then what does that mean in the broader sense of the structure, the fabric of our society? You have to indicate to the American people that this is not normal. What's not? Is he just sitting there?

He's literally just speaking and skinning and grinning with someone who has those that you have called a fascist over the last couple of years and the last months. That's not normal. Agreed. Folks are tired of. OK, you know, like Don, quit your day job. This job's not for you. Let me explain. If you want to do as live as we call, we call recorded as live. And so let me let me let me. You know, this is frustrating me. I'm a media guy. OK, my friends, if you go to YouTube dot com slash Timcast.

It's my first YouTube channel. The first videos I'd put up were not recorded as live. They were recorded and edited. So it was largely unscripted off the cuff. I wouldn't write scripts. I'd record, pull up a source, read a news article, keep talking, record the whole time. Then I would edit it all down. Eventually, I switched to doing what's called recorded as live. And that's what you watch here.

YouTube.com slash Timcast, we've launched the video essays, which are not recorded as live anymore. They're semi-scripted, largely improv. Like, I'm actually just talking, but there's some scripted portions and some news articles, and it's edited together. We brought those videos back. Don, you can't just freeze up for five, ten seconds. It's making it hard for me to make fun of you. Okay, that's all I got to say.

I'm trying to play you commenting on your thoughts on these people because I'm critical of your incessant anger. OK, you have to recognize Trump won. And now we've got to figure out what's next. But you can't pause twice for five seconds each. Behavior being normalized.

He's doing it again. He's doing it again. Don is so bad at this. Does he have a prompter? Oh, come on. Dude, are you kidding me? Stop pausing.

can't stand up for his wife that Donald Trump calls ugly, then who is he going to stand up for? I think he has a prompter. That must be it. Because he's doing it again.

This is really annoying. You guys could be right. Barack Obama. He does not appear to have a prompter. But, yo, that pausing is so annoying. I can't do it. I'm sorry. I don't know. Maybe you guys like it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I press go. I start talking. And I talk forever. I could talk for 47 hours. I record four hours of content every single day. Man, can I talk. And I cannot stand this guy freezing.

And you can see the computers moving behind him. He's not. He's classy. He's a classy guy. He doesn't have to say it's a problem. These are the very same MAGA people who have called and Donald Trump has helped promote calling Michelle Obama a man. I'm not smiling in your face if you're calling my sister or my mother or my wife or girlfriend a man. Fuck you. Okay. Let me put it this way, guys. Let me tell you about business and politics and how the world really works.

Sometimes you got to do deals with bad people you don't like. I've had people insult me. And then what happens two weeks later, they show up because they want to come on the show. There are people that I've criticized that then say they want to come on the show. And I say, OK, I respect it. Thank you for coming on the show. Welcome to the reality of where we currently are. All right. And that is sometimes in business and politics, be it Donald Trump or otherwise, if someone calls your wife a man, you may not like it, but we're not

If you want to succeed and gain power in key areas, you've got to recognize when you're negotiating with people who have different ends and objectives than you. I'm not saying compromise with evil or anything like that. I'm saying, yeah, sure. Obama could be mad that these people have called Michelle a man or whatever. What is accomplished by him targeting that point, being overly emotional and screaming about it on camera? Nothing. So for Don.

I'm glad that he takes this approach and I'm glad that people like him won't stop and they won't shut up. I'm all I also love the terrible content he produces. His influence will be nil. So my concern, as with many others, this week is confirmations. And then in one week, Trump will be the president.

We need to know that Trump's going to make moves that dramatically improves, improve things, executive orders, because come the midterms, the question is, will Democrats take back enough seats? If they do, they will impeach Trump again. They'll just keep doing it. They won't stop. Look at this guy. He's unhinged. He won't stop either. So what, my friends, must be done now? For us, it's fighting the good fight.

Keeping these shows up, making sure we're breaking down the fake news and calling out people like Jennifer Rubin and Don Lemon. But I got to be honest, Fetterman gets it. Trump says he's deeply impressed with Fetterman. Well, many of these liberals don't.

They live in a world where they get their bread and butter is attacking Trump and they're not going to stop. And I'm glad that they keep going because Trump won the popular vote. They're on the wrong side of history. So be it. Let them. I'll wrap it up there. Next segment, my friends, is coming up at 6 p.m. on this channel. Thank you all so much for hanging out and we will see you all then. The intellectual dark web, how the mighty have fallen. Do you guys know what the intellectual dark web was?

So now it's almost been 10 years, but largely a product of the work of Dave Rubin. That's right. In the Rubin Report, Dave hosted many an eclectic bunch, individuals of disparate ideas, but still willing to have the conversation which was deemed to be unacceptable in mainstream discourse. And so many of these individuals came on Dave's show. They debated ideas and these episodes were massive.

garnering a feature in the New York Times and coining the phrase intellectual dark. I believe it was Eric Weinstein came up the name. It was meant to be somewhat tongue in cheek. But now we have this Sam Harris. Ah, how the mighty, mighty have fallen. This dude's lost his mind. It's really crazy how.

These people get locked in an emotional state they can't break out of either because of ego, pride, or sheer stupidity. Sam Maris is a deeply stupid individual, and I have no problem being disparaging and disrespectful, as I often can be, much to my own detriment. You know, I'd get way better guests on my show if I just didn't say nasty things about people, but...

I don't know, man. Yeah, just part of me. I just hate the fake. I hate the fake. OK, Sam is emotionally disturbed. So we got a few stories to break through one. He's pissed off at Elon Musk. They're not friends. And his reasoning makes no sense. And then you have this podcaster. Sam Harris spreads hoax that President-elect Trump wasn't actually shot.

If, in fact, a teleprompter was hit by the rifle round and we know there was shattered glass, that makes more sense to me. It doesn't, considering the trajectory of bullets and the people who died behind Donald Trump or the man who did. So it's just it's just stupid. Look, I don't care if you want to have theories because probabilities exist. But this is an example of a man who is so deeply emotionally troubled that

So emotionally troubled. He cannot function in a probabilistic reality. What I mean to say is he cannot exist in a world where you make your assumptions based on what is more probable than what is not because he hates Donald Trump so much. But please, as the theme of my day has gone, let these people never learn so we can maintain power and fix the problems they created.

Here we go. Sam Harris claims it would be more believable Trump was hit by a piece of shrapnel from a prompter at the assassination attempt. Ex-user BrickSuit took a photo of the prompters after the attack, showing they're completely intact. That's right. That never happened. But Sam Harris is mentally unwell. I actually just I mean, this just could be based on a faulty intuition about ballistics, but

I would be, I'm surprised that a rifle round making any degree of contact with an ear wouldn't do more damage. I think, I think a shattered piece of shrapnel from a teleprompter is far more likely to have done that to his ear than, than a rifle round. Look at this. This is, and you can see here in the video on X, the prompters were never damaged and this was debunked. I mean, I love the word debunked because the media just says things are debunked. No, but

We have photos. The prompters did not take any damage. - So silly. - Well, I mean, have you seen what rifle rounds do to human bodies? - I know, but like, if it just hit it by the slightest possible degree, it just, you know, it makes much more sense. The guy behind him- - Well, no, but I do- - The guy behind him died. - There's no question there were rifle rounds flying. I mean, someone was killed. I'm not debating that at all, but just to...

How do people listen to Sam Harris? I just, I don't get it. Like, by all means, say, Tim, your opinions suck. But I pull up the photos, the videos, and the sources. So, by all means, please, comment below right now if you think my opinions suck, because many of you probably do, and that's fine. My question about Sam Harris is not about whether or not you like his opinions or don't. It's that he's wrong!

around and we know there was shattered glass that makes more sense to me oh but he didn't get hit at all it was the teleprompter he got hit by flying glass as opposed to well right but that doesn't change the basic narration no no no zero no i i completely agree that it could be that mclovin just missed him completely mclovin bill bill this is my problem man you know i grew up watching bill maher real time and stuff and this is what really grinds my gears

You need only Google it. The teleprompters are intact. That's what I call it. So if I'm sitting here with Sam Harris and he said that, I bet, yeah, the prompters were intact, though. Like, I'll just Google the photo right now and we'll put it on the show. But that's what I see with Bill Maher, with Sam Harris. They don't know what they're talking about. Heavens me.

You know, I guess it's a difference between us and the internet age. Here's another clip. This one's funny. Sam Harris on why he and Elon Musk are no longer friends. Elon Musk then calls him mentally ill. He will, he will, a, a pizza gate lunatic, like literally one of the people who gave us pizza gate, you know, I'm not going to name them because they would be happy to be named in this context, but,

But there's a couple of guys who gave us Pizzagate. You remember what Pizzagate was? Of course. That Hillary Clinton was running a pedophile ring out of a pizza parlor in Washington, D.C. Out of the basement of a pizza parlor that doesn't have a basement. In their defense, the pizza was fantastic. Guys, I've been to that restaurant and the pizza was okay, I guess.

I don't, we, we, we went there. It was not a pleasant experience. It was kind of weird, but I don't know. I didn't know anything about it. So, um, the people who gave us that are people who are in very good standing with Elon, who Elon will talk to them in Twitter spaces and give them the mic and boost them and just high five them. Like, and he knows, like I've pointed out how crazy these people are to him.

These people will send him a clip from my podcast or some other podcast, maybe this podcast, maybe we'll do it here, right? Yes. Making it seem like I've said the opposite of what I said in context. They do that, that's true. People in general do that. I seem to be saying that I didn't care about the chaos at the border, whereas I have exactly Elon's view of the border. And in context, you could hear that. But they'll send the opposite message.

And Elon will react to that. He doesn't have time to listen to the podcast, obviously. So he'll just react to the clip saying, you know, Sam Harris is a total moron, right? Like it was something like that. But amplify this to millions of people. And I will email him and say, Elon, you're being gamed by right-wing trolls who gave us Pizzagate. This is not what I said in context, right?

And he will tell me to go fuck myself. And he knows he knows. But he read the email. Oh, yeah. He will respond to the email. Go fuck yourself. He does not care if he's defaming someone in public who used to be a friend. So, I mean, it was and this is why we're not. Well, I'll say this of Sam Harris. He's not wrong. They do to me all the time. You guys know it. I have I filed a lawsuit against the Kamala Harris campaign for doing such a thing. And.

I am very satisfied with the outcome. And so anyway, that being said, it is very common for people to pull things out of context. My favorite bit is like if you read a quote. So if I said something like Sam Harris is on Bill Maher's show and he said, I will I will email him and say, Elon, you are being gamed right now. Right wing trolls who gave us Pizzagate. He'll tell me to go off myself. OK, that's Sam Harris quote. The funny thing is they will clip that.

As if it was me saying it. Like, I don't email Elon. I don't talk about Pizzagate stuff. But that's what they do. If you literally explain something like, did you hear that one guy who said, I don't like lasagna? That's crazy. They'll then take the clip of you saying, I don't like lasagna. And they'll tell everybody, look, Tim doesn't like lasagna. So I give Sam Harris that. The problem here is, Elon Musk says Sam Harris is mentally ill. Clown emoji. Sam Harris is very unwell and overly emotional. And his brain doesn't work.

When you when you let me see if I can pull up this really, really important clip. It's Sam Harris on the Trigonometry. And it went viral along with this. Look at this one. Oh, come on. It's trying to give me all these other websites now. Let's see. Here we go. It was big news. This is Sam Harris being mentally unwell.

censoring the posts Hunter Biden exposes warranted to beat Trump. Here you go. Top in a timely way, look to not have looked at the laptop in a timely way and to have shut down the, you know, the New York posts, Twitter account like that. That's a, just a conspiracy. That's a left wing conspiracy to deny the presidency to Donald Trump. Absolutely. It was absolutely right. But I think it was warranted, but I think it was warranted. He goes on to say that Trump,

Hunter Biden could have, I'm like, I show these photos. Hunter Biden could have, what did he say? Something like actual children or whatever, because who cares about Hunter Biden? Sam Harris said censoring a story that was true for political purposes is warranted. This guy is so emotionally attached to his anger that he doesn't care about what is right or wrong. He cares about satisfying his emotions and presenting in a way that is academic and

As is with the theme in the last several segments I did. Today's theme of the episode is let the unhinged liberals lose their minds. Let them do it. Because come the midterms, we need only show this and we win again. Best of luck to you, Sam. I think you've lost your mind. All right, everybody. Next segment's coming up at 8 p.m. YouTube.com slash Timcast IRL. Thanks for hanging out. We'll see you all then.
