Donald Trump is calling out USAID. He seems none too happy, claiming that billions of dollars have been stolen. Now, he goes on to say that it appears Politico seems to have received eight million dollars. But let's just clarify, that's not from USAID, though I do have questions.

It is largely known USAID was funding media around the world in some in some form or another. BBC Media Action, a charity, received eight percent of its revenue from USAID. But the big scandal here is that the U.S. government has been buying subscriptions to news services that cost insane amounts of money.

And of course, people want to make the argument, but it's a legitimate service that this news entity provides. It's intelligence gathering. So let me just take a pause real quick and lay it out right away for all of the naysayers, the corporate press, the liberal media. Why would our government, with its very own CIA, be spending millions of dollars per year or more on intelligence gathering tools from the private sector?

I mean, don't get me wrong. If a handful of people at the CIA were like, we want premium access to behind the scenes in these newsrooms, I'd say, OK, I guess it's a little mockingbird ish. But if you're just a customer, maybe.

But when you have, for instance, what was it, Department of Energy? I think 172 subscriptions for one year costing $400,000. It's really simple, my friends. These companies may make tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars. However they do, fine, whatever. But it's actually simple in that a kickback's a kickback.

And if the government says, sure, we'll we'll subscribe to your exorbitantly expensive government tier. What's basically happening is on the surface, first and foremost, your tax dollars are being given to these liberal media outlets. Nothing else matters at that point. We shouldn't have the government spending millions of dollars per year on corporate press outlet subscriptions that cost way too much money. And they say, but it's special tools. I don't care.

But now we have another scandal. This story broke the other day. And there's a deep dive now. Kamala Harris, 60 Minutes interview has been released by the FCC and the FCC is none too happy. Donald Trump is saying CBS should lose their license for interfering in election. Why? Well, they interviewed Kamala Harris and then edited her answers to make her look better.

Not an exaggeration. That's what's being reported. So we're going to break all of this down. We've got more information on USAID. The scandal is emerging. And then we got some updates as the media and the liberals and the Democrats attack Elon Musk. I got news for you. Elon Musk has turned X around. He doubled their earnings and more than doubled their margins. Massive.

Revenue is down, but he cleaned the place up so much he's making money. And the people who invested in Elon to buy X invested in X. They are cashing in because either surprise, surprise, the world richest man knows how to make money at a company. Bravo. But we're going to start with Donald Trump calling out USAID, breaking down the miss and disinformation from the corporate press, clarifying the errors that we've seen and

And then we'll talk about this CBS interview with Kamala Harris, which I got to be honest, I ain't watching an hour of that woman ramble. To be fair, me and a handful of others, we all made the joke. I think Nuance Bro made the joke. I'm not going to watch that garbage. I'm going to wait for someone else to do it and then comment on what they find. Hey, just being honest. Before we get started, my friends, make sure you smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with everyone you know.

I would love to do these live noon shows as often as possible. I was doing live at 10. I don't know. I felt like it's fun. It is. And we've got more segments coming up at one, three and four.

And then we'll have some segments for you on Fridays as well. Just trying to maximize potential. We've been trying to figure it out. We'll figure it out. Make sure you head over before we get started to castbrew.com and buy coffee because we sponsor ourselves. Sure, we can shout at any company and we will. We will. For the time being, we got Cast Brew and you can pick up two weeks till Christmas. We are sold out of Ian's Graphene Dream. The man is a madman and Ian's Graphene Dream sells like hotcakes.

But pick up Stand Your Grounds. It's one of the favorites. We've also got Rise with Roberto Jr., a classic. And you can always join our Casper Coffee Club. And if you want the discontinued Mr. Bocas Pumpkin Spice Experience, actually, no, I can't say that. All I know is that people who are already in the club may be getting it.

And then we do have some others that are in. You can see we've got Misty Mountains and Focus with Mr. Bocas. Not a big push we do for these, but they do exist. Misty Mountains. Look at that one. Beautiful Costa Rican blend. And as always, go to TimCast.com. Check out the Green Room episode. Yesterday's, I'd say, is one of the best. Yesterday we were talking about the Super Bowl. We had Nuance Bro and Lisa Reynolds. It's a more chill hangout session style show. We talked politics a little bit.

Some inappropriate humor, quite a bit of it. Some prominent personalities get dragged. It is what it is. But my friends, make sure, as I said, you smash that like button, share the show, take that URL to this stream right now, post it everywhere.

It really does help. And get your super chats in because we will grab your super chats. The plan that I'm trying to see if it's going to work is noon to one live stream. And so, you know, for a few months I was doing a morning live show and it was really, really successful, actually getting a morning live podcast that was hitting like 400000 total views.

in in two hours. It's good. But it was basically it was cannibalizing the channel. So I said, here's an idea. I'll do four original segments and one live stream. That way, if you watch this as a live segment, live show, and then the other segments that pop up are individual and standalone. And we can do those more often. Maybe it'll work. We tried doing the essays on the YouTube dot com slash Timcast channel. Yo, it is so insanely hard to do.

And so with all the work that we've been doing with IRL and all this stuff, we're trying to figure out how to maximize and be more efficient. I've also got another big announcement. Guys, become a member right now at TimCast.com because there's big news coming. We are working on the Culture War Show, as you know, YouTube.com slash TimCast Friday mornings. Tomorrow morning we'll have one.

has never been fully developed. We've always talked about how we have big plans for this. The plan right now is we're going to get a venue near D.C. Members will be able to show up, submit their we're going to have a theme for the show like today's. You know, this week, our debate is going to be on this issue with this guest. You as members can join the table with us and you will get probably about five or minutes uninterrupted to make your arguments as to why you think I or one of the guests are wrong.

Then we'll spend about five minutes debating with you involved. And then we rotate out and bring in more members. Basically, the point of the culture war is to bring in more people from the outside into the fray. It could be your big chance to get up there and have everybody know that you're smarter than all of us. And maybe you are. So we got it's going to be a members only thing. So basically.

And maybe a Saturday night show or something or Friday morning. We got to figure out how we're going to do it. You show up to the venue. You're a member. I'm a member. We let you in. You submit your talking point, your question. And then one of our hosts, we will choose people to come up and join the debate. It's going to be epic. Let's get to the news, my friends. But don't forget to super chat because we will read those as well. Billions of dollars have been stolen. Trump slams U.S. aid for payoffs to fake news media like Politico.

From the post-millennial Libby Emmons writes, as the strings begin to unravel at the agency formerly known as USAID...

The United or the United States Agency for International Development. President Donald Trump lambasted the spending that's been taking place there. He said in a truth social post that billions of dollars have been stolen at the agency, much of it going to the fake news media. This is this is probably not correct. OK, I think it's largely not correct. Now, I think about forty four thousand dollars USAID spent on these subscriptions to Politico. The issue is the government as a whole. The DOD is doing it.

On Wednesday, it was revealed that numerous government agencies were paying for premium political subscriptions to the tune of over $8 million during the Biden administration. Very strange. Well, the government agencies had subscriptions to the political pro service prior to the Biden ascendancy of the White House. Those figures skyrocketed once he took office. Another major scandal at USAID is that the month like right after Biden lost his

Hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars were dumped in a variety of charities. We know what's going on. They knew they were out. Biden knew they were out. So they started putting kickbacks. That's what it appears to be. I say appears to be. OK, talk to my lawyer. Well, government agencies had subscriptions to pro service.

Those numbers jumped when Biden took office. Officials at multiple agencies under the Biden admin were paying for a service from the left leaning outlet, which ran positive pieces about Biden and his administration's policies while blasting Trump.

This was the outlet that quashed the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the election in 2020 by publishing a letter from 51 current and former intelligence officials claiming that it all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation. Politico also leaked the decision from the Supreme Court in the Dobbs case, which overturned Roe v. Wade, turning the question of abortion legality to the states. Trump says.

Looks like billions of dollars have been stolen at USAID and other agencies, much of it going to the fake news media as a payoff for creating good stories about the Democrats. So I'll just pause right there. Trump's not wrong. Clarification. I thought he was saying USAID did this. He says and other agencies. OK, much of it going to good stories about Democrats. The left wing rag known as Politico seems to have received eight million dollars. Did the New York Times receive money? They did.

Who else did? I believe it's been reported that the AP and Thompson Reuters did as well. This could be the biggest scandal of them all, perhaps the biggest in history. The Democrats can't hide from this one. Too big, too dirty. I see these people coming out, these libertarians being like, guys, they're just government subscriptions. I'm going to say it again.

Let's play this game. Here's what I'm going to do. Timcast.com has a $1,000 tier. That's right. Go to Timcast.com right now and sign up for our $1,000 tier. $1,000 per month.

Members of the government can sign up for $1,000 a month tier, and then we'll have $172,000 a month coming in just because it's a very important subscription service. At the $1,000 a month level, you can call me on the phone. How about that? Honestly, let's actually say yes. If you sign up for $1,000 a month at Timcast, I'll legit send you my phone number. Just don't call me while I'm live.

I honestly don't believe anyone. My point is, what if the Trump administration announced that they were going to have 300 employees sign up for a thousand dollar a month Timcast special member program because they needed to talk to me and get my expertise on issues and all of the people here? Democrats would scream it's money laundering. Democrats would scream Trump's funneling money to his cronies and his allies. Isn't it obvious? And they're not doing it.

So anyway, sign up for a thousand bucks a month at Tim cast.com and I'll give you my phone number. And then, and then I guess people will like sign up one time to buy my phone number and then cancel it. We do have, um, the Tim cast, uh, um, elite club, a hundred bucks a month. And that gives you like way more privy to access to information and stuff.

We're working on expanding things a bit more. The goal with the show we're doing, the culture war show with members, it's going to be probably like $25 a month tier. We have to screen out psychos because security is very expensive. So, you know, bear with us, man. We're trying as hard as we can. Looks like billions of dollars. Also on Wednesday, the White House said that the subscriptions to the service would come to an end right away at the White House press briefing on Wednesday. Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt confirmed the federal government would no longer subsidize the subscriptions.

USAID has got a lot of attention over the past couple of days with some of these bizarre things that we've seen. Taxpayers have been funding. Now it looks like there are a couple of media outlets that have been dragged into the conversation as far as USAID funding as well. Does the president have a comment at that, a reporter asked. And as Trump clarified, it's other agencies as well. So we got a lot to break down and let's do it.

Trump now is calling for 60 Minutes and CBS to be terminated. I'm going to put a pin in this one because I want to show you some USAID stuff first. In response to what Trump said, Jack Posobiec chimes in saying he is targeting their resources now, removing their ability to wage war. The pincer movement is forming. This is why I referred to this as Donald Trump's march to the sea. Do you guys know the story of Sherman's march to the sea? Man, brutal.

Civil War, homie, was like, I am going to march through the south, through Georgia, and burn every field and destroy train tracks, kill civilians. Merciless. The idea is in scorched earth, you take away their ability to wage war, not by just targeting their barracks or fortified positions or whatever. You target their ability to eat food. You target their ability to transport goods.

Donald Trump going after USAID is basically saying we're going to cut you off from your resources. And that's why Democrats are losing their minds. Mike Cernovich chimes in. This is just crazy. USAID gives grants to far left wing nonprofits. Nonprofits pay their employees six figure salaries, mostly in the 300 to 500 thousand dollar a year range.

I'd estimate that over half of the D.C. economy is an outright looting of all of us via U.S. A.I.D. grants. Maybe not. It's not just U.S. A.I.D., bro, but he's largely right. Loudoun County, Virginia, just outside of D.C., has the highest median income in the country. And I'd imagine maybe even the world.

Now, if you want to go by per capita, I think it's there's I looked it up. It's like what, Teton County, Wyoming or something where like a ton of ultra rich people live. And there's like 50 super rich people. So it's technically the highest income. But in terms of your run of the mill neighborhood in an urban area, Loudoun County, Virginia. And what is this? It is the D.C. elites. It is the lawyers. I got some stories for you. There's there's one dude out here in West Virginia. He's buying up tons of land.

and he's doing good development. I got no beef. I don't know anything about the guy. But I asked someone, like, how is this guy, like, what does he do that he's buying up all this expensive property? And they said he's a lawyer in D.C. And I'm like, are you kidding me? That's crazy. I got to be honest, man. It's pretty wild that I can sit here, speak to millions upon millions of people every day.

and sell products and do sponsorships. We got a ton of members and we don't come close to scratching the surface of how much money these D.C. elites make. Now, Cernovich points out a lot of them are getting 300, 500 K a year. But I got a question, Mike, how many of those people are on multiple boards? How many of them serve at multiple agencies? I got stories for you because I work for these nonprofits. Here's how they do it.

They'll start nonprofit a a 501. Actually, what's this nonprofit? A 501 C3 charity tax deductible. We don't engage in politics. They'll also then have nonprofit action. A 501 C4 not tax deductible, allowing them to engage in political action. And so interesting things happening happen when you fundraise here.

The executive director of nonprofit charities says, my friends, I only get paid $50,000 a year to do this job. I sacrifice for all of you. And they go, wow, I make more money than this guy. He must really care about his charity. I'm going to donate. And then they do.

Little do they know the donation actually goes to nonprofit Action 501C4, not tax deductible, where the executive director of that nonprofit is the same guy. But he's taken home one million dollars a year. So when he tells you, I only get fifty thousand dollars, he's not lying.

I mean, he's misleading you, but he can always say, hey, I never said I didn't have any other jobs. So the question is, when USAID is giving grants to weird nonprofits and there's a guy on the board or he's in an executive position, executive director is basically the CEO of a nonprofit, and he's getting 500 a year. Take a look and see if this guy or lady is also a director, consultant or otherwise for any other nonprofits, because how much you want to bet

They're taking in millions of dollars per year, working several jobs and their lawyers, maybe. But that's the game, isn't it? That's what they do. Now, in response to Elon Musk gutting the system, we have a good one. Reddit Libertarian pointed out, Josie, Trump said, quote, Elon Musk will head up a government efficiency department in September of 2024. 30 states, every swing state, 74 million votes, voters, the popular vote.

The libs. No one voted for this. Oh, I specifically voted for this. I intentionally voted so that Elon Musk would gut the bloat and do an audit. That's all it is, right? An audit. Politico, man, this is it. The liberal media is done. Politico co-founder says the liberal media is weaker than ever in interview. CNN and other liberal media outlets have been forced to cut staff this year. You want to know what really irks me, my friends?

YouTube props up CNN, MSNBC and Fox News. You know, I know we all know because I got demographic numbers. Regular people are not watching talking heads. Yo, some people get their news from like Patriot Guy 93. And it's some like younger millennial dude. And he's just like, here's what Donald Trump said.

And it's a million views. People get the news from individual personalities that they trust and think are authentic. So how is it that CNN pulled in like 130 million views? Because YouTube props them up as authoritative. Here's what we need. Facebook says they're backing off the censorship. Well, I'll tell you what bothers me is that you go back 10 years when we were all creating on YouTube. And if you searched news, I might come up.

You might be like, hey, what's going on with that foreign policy thing? Tim Pool pops up and I say, here's a story from CNN, New York Times, Fox News, Breitbart. Here's what I think. Here's a map of the area. And here's an expert.

YouTube then went, we don't know you. We don't care about you. We do not want homegrown news talent. And they nuked me and everybody else. And now when you go to news, what do you get? CNN, MSNBC, Fox, CBS, et cetera. And what makes them inherently better than any of us? Nothing. What I love about these fact checkers, you know what fact checkers do to fact check? They ask the New York Times. That's it.

So when you see a story that comes out and the media goes, fact check, false. Did Donald Trump actually donate his salary? False. How do they know? The New York Times says otherwise. What makes the New York Times the end all be all? NewsGuard, we stopped using a while ago because they're they're absolute trash. And it's funny because I was a big proponent. I was like, hey, look, these are their standards. But here's the problem.

They weren't doing any fact checking. NewsGuard is an agency that is trying to claim some outlets are or are not trustworthy. The problem is no matter what happens, they claim the New York Times is 100 percent correct all the time just because that's it. And when they come to places like our like Timcast, they would rate us by saying you claimed X. But the New York Times said otherwise. And I said, well, what makes them right? Why? Why is that? Why are they the default? Correct.

Interesting. What was that? U.S. government is putting subscription money into them. How much you want to bet when you know? And here's here's what I'm curious about. Black budgets. How many subscribers to these outlets are sock puppet accounts with money being funneled to them? If the CIA or any other government entity surreptitiously ran 10,000 fake accounts, not hard to do.

and used a network of bunk financial transactions, not hard to do, especially for the federal government, so that the New York Times or any, I'm not saying they do this, I'm saying imagine, and they're like, we have a million paying subscribers. One million people. How do we know that's real? It's hard to know for sure. I'd like to see us go beyond the surface of USAID and these government subscriptions to the corporate press. I want to know if there is, and how much do you want to bet there is,

Secret spending on media. Mockingbird was a real thing. I can also confirm this to all of you, my friends. I will say this definitively. One hundred percent. The State Department does call news organizations to discuss with them their stories. I can tell you for a fact I have worked for news agencies where I know for a fact the State Department called their heads, the heads of these companies, the executives to discuss what their stories are and what's going on.

When they come out and they say, we bought a premium subscription to Politico, sounds to me like what they're saying is the DOD, DHS, the Department of the Interior, what they're basically saying is, when we spend a million dollars a year on you, I know you get a lot of money across the board. A million bucks is a million bucks. They say, take care of the pennies and the dollars take care of themselves. What does that mean? It means if you're running a big company and you have a revenue of $100 million a year,

1% is still substantial. So if the government is saying, look, we're one of your biggest clients, answer the phone. They do. Because if they don't want to report they lost a million dollars out of 100, it's 1%, but that matters. More importantly, as someone brought up in the chat yesterday on TimCast IRL, they may make $100 million, and I'm saying like insert random news organization, 100 million bucks a year or whatever. Maybe their margins, maybe it's 100 million revenue, and their profit's only a million bucks.

And that means the people who run the company aren't seeing a return. Along comes big, steady government that says, we'd like to buy $1 million in premium subscriptions. And that dude says, that's a million profit. That is a 33% increase that goes into my pocket. So when you're comparing a company that makes $100 million a year, but they have 1,000 employees and they got to pay everybody and so they don't have high margins, that's

That million dollars might be a million dollars put in the pocket of an executive. That's how big this gets. Well, right now, what do we see? Liberal media is weaker than ever. Indeed, my friends, it has only just begun. And good. I am sick. You know, look, YouTube's got a new CEO.

They started putting Timcast IRL for a while. They were featuring us in their live. They kicked us out. You know, go figure. But usually if you go to YouTube dot com slash live, you'll see us at the top of their live page. And then periodically we will appear on what's on the default front page. It's algorithmic now. So they don't editorialize. The machine just chooses. But I got a question. I got a question. Why is it?

that we average something like 55,000 concurrent viewers per night. We average about 350,000 overnight. And I think it's like five, 600,000 in total for per episode within just a day. Shouldn't the algorithm be like, wow, high retention time, high viewership. They should be like, if the show is good and people like watching it, the algorithm should be suggesting it.

Why for not do they do this? Because the game is rigged, my friends, and it's been for a long time, and I'm hoping we change it. Politico co-founder Jim VandeHei said in an interview published Tuesday that the liberal media has reached a low point in popularity and influence. Uh-huh. There's a market for ideological, he said. The left right now, liberal media has probably never been weaker in my lifetime than right now.

CNN and NBC News, among other liberal news outlets, have reported layoffs of staff this year amid concerns over lower ratings and a changing media landscape as podcasters continue to grow their audiences. Indeed, we do. My friends, become a member at Simcast.com. That's the only way we do it. I'm just going to say this. I know not everybody can. I know not everybody wants to. I respect it. But personally, this is just me.

I am offended that Politico has so many subscribers. It's just crazy, isn't it? But hey, so be it, I guess. I am offended that the New York Times has so many subscribers. Now, to be fair,

The New York Times runs subscription only news. These are big brands. I get it. I get it. But man, doesn't it suck? Don't you all agree that it is so brutal that they lie all the time about so much about basically everything and people keep dumping money into them? We need to break the machine.

I think we are. I think there's cracks in the facade. The veneer is starting to peel, as it were. And so we're doing well. We're doing well. We've got big expansion, big plans for Timcast and how we're going to be. You know that we got Timcast news on X. If you're not following the social team, there is producing some of the some of the best source news we've had in a long time. And so we're kicking things up. We got the Green Room show. But man, we get more views than political politico.

And Politico is reportedly pulling in like $200 million a year. And I'm like, we suck at what we do. That's just it. I got to be honest. We get more views than them consistently. And they crush us in revenue generation. Now, to be fair, maybe we should offer a $15,000 a year package. I guess we technically do with the $1,000 a month package.

We should be offering these premium ultra high level packages and then we should be selling to the government. Don't you want to know what's going on behind the scenes? I mean, Tim Kast IRL has members of Congress and we can draft newsletters just for you. Sure. That's the game, right?

According to internal data shared with the digital news site Semaphore, the Washington Post lost most of its daily digital traffic during Joe Biden's time in office. Semaphore reported that January, the Post's daily traffic last year reached a nadir of just about a quarter of what it was. The Post had around 22.5 million daily active users. To be fair, that's very, very much bigger than us. But get this. By the middle of 2024, its daily users hovered around 2 to 3 million.

We do way more than that. We do way more than that. I think Timcast does about five million per day. Let me let me do the math. Is that like five million per day? I don't know. I think so. I think it might be comparable. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I think I think we're about comparable. Man, we should if they're getting three million daily users, how do we not generate the hundred million dollars that they're doing? Hey, look, maybe I just got to figure it out. Maybe maybe we got to figure it out, huh?

We need more members. I got to tell you, it does. It does hurt me emotionally that more people are willing to sign up for The Washington Post that Tim then Tim gas. Yeah, well, you know, it is what it is. It is what it is. We got to do better that, you know, I'm not going to sit here and cry about it. They are doing better. The corporate press is better at getting subscribers and making money than we are. We got to turn that around and we will. We will.

We'll figure it out. That means we need better products. It means we need documentaries. It means we need behind the scenes content. It means proprietary live streams, whatever it means. I suppose the fear for a lot of us in media is that people would be unwilling to pay. If I said we're going to put a show behind a paywall, I think the truth is people would pay for it. And we only scare ourselves by not making that content. So we want to have a good mix of free and premium stuff. But we'll figure it out.

We'll figure it out. We got a lot of a lot of stuff in the works. Quote, could an NBC MSNBC in a kind of digital, social, traditional TV world, could they build that into something bigger? They could if they have smart leadership and you have a really good plan and you have personalities that people gravitate towards. And they certainly have mentioning Rachel Maddow, Joe Scarborough and Michael Brzezinski. Their their ratings are apocalyptically low. My dudes. OK.

There's a lot to work with. You just got to change. You just got to stop worrying, thinking about how great it was because it was great. And it is never going to be great, great like that again. A great again like that. Right. But that doesn't mean it can't be good and that it can't be successful. Just means you're going to have to buckle up and be ready for extraordinarily high velocity change. You know what, man? When they say this, the liberal media has never been weaker. I accept we are winning personally here at Timcast. We got to step it up.

We got to crank it up. We need sports. We need gaming. We got to crank it up. And we're going to do it. We're going to do it. We're going to figure it out. And that's really what the truth is. You know, if you look at like the New York Times, The Washington Post and to an extent Politico, Politico is mostly politics, but they offer more than just one thing. Tim Cass, you get what you get. I talk about culture and politics.

We've got to figure out how to make a better selection of members only content for all of you and for everybody who hasn't subscribed. Now, what we're working on right now, as I said, is the culture war live and members get to sit down in the chair and join the debate. And I think it's going to be big. We got the idea kind of from Jubilee, how they have that thing where they'll sit down one person and surround them by a bunch of people who will then debate for 10 minutes.

And I was like, what if we combined these? Like, what if we made it so that we had our culture war debate show? But how do we make it more than just what everyone else does? And Sean, Sean Frasick, shout out. He had a great idea. And he was like, we should do it with a live audience and let them join in. For a lot of these people, it's their chance to get up on these shows and and like make their point. It could be a big break for a lot of people, especially if we get liberals and who want to argue with like, let's say we have a guest on.

You know, some prominent conservative, maybe it's like Charlie Kirk or Ben Shapiro, who knows? And then some liberals like I want to sit down next to that man. I want to debate him and I want to say these things. I think it could be a really good way to get people involved in community and be just bigger than whatever it is they offer. But anyway, my friends, I digress. I digress. Let's get back to the news because we got big news. We do. I have a tweet here. Which one is this? Brendan Carr of the FCC tweeted out.

CBS provided the FCC with unredacted video and transcript of VP Harris's 60 Minutes interview in response to the FCC's review of a news distortion complaint. CBS did not ask for confidential or non-public treatment of these materials. Given the value of transparency in the public interest here, the FCC is taking two actions. The FCC is making these materials publicly available. The FCC has concluded that establishing a docket and seeking comment on the issues raised in the complaint would serve the public interest.

The people will have a chance to weigh in. And so Trump now is calling for the termination of CBS's license. Now, of course, Democrats are saying, no, how dare you? You can't do this. My friends, CBS editorially took it upon themselves to change Kamala Harris's answers to make her look better. How can you how can you do that? That's crazy. No, look, I understand that sometimes interviews are edited for time.

I still think that's egregious and a violation. Look, when we do a show, Tim Kess, IRL, it's live. That's it. If someone's saying something, they only get cut off when they get cut off. But when you watch these interviews in the corporate press, they'll give an answer and then it'll jump cut. And you don't even realize they said something else. There's a famous moment where Avi Yamini was doing a show. I think it was on Comedy Central. He recorded himself

That because he knew when they filmed him, they were going to put up fake news and accuse him of being racist and saying all these things. So he recorded it raw. And sure enough, they did. That's what they did. Take a look at this. Daily Mail says all the damning moments CBS edited out of Kamala Harris controversial 60 Minutes interview. They say all the damning moments CBS edited out. Trump claimed the sit down had been rigged.

And the unearthed version now shows that CBS only aired 20 minutes of Kamala talking compared to the 60 minutes that were filmed. I will say this first. A lot of it is nonsense, like Kamala sitting down and like moving her hair to the side and saying, like, how much time do we have? And are we going to do this, that or otherwise? OK, sure. And none of that's really material. Check it out.

This is the unedited clip opens when the former VP sneezing with her sneezing and explains she's allergic to mold. In other places, Kamala Harris gave rambled answers on why she should be president, foreign policy and Trump, all of which were quietly nipped by CBS. The full version of the interview shows that while Harris gave a lengthy answer when asked about Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, CBS only aired about seven seconds. Here are the damning differences. Harris slamming Trump as racist is edited out.

Weird.

They're going to mention much of what was edited out. Her answers on Israel were edited out. Her answer on the Iranian threat were edited out. This is crazy. Her answers on why she should be president were trimmed. Her answer on NATO and the war is trimmed. Her economic plan answer is chopped up. Her answers on China and Taiwan are edited out. This is nuts. CBS cuts crucial line from Harris's answer on the border crisis.

Absolutely insane that CBS would do this directly interfering in the perception people have. So Trump has said, nuke it. Is this the where? Here we go. From Yahoo News posted from the Daily Beast. President Trump called for CBS News 60 minutes to be immediately terminated and its network shut down as he escalated campaign threats to punish media outlets that don't offer coverage to his liking. Let me stop you right there, you media scumbags.

What Trump is saying is that you were intentionally manipulating the words she said to benefit her. Did you guys see the leaked email where intelligence officials were like, we're going to claim the Hunter Biden laptop is disinformation to help Joe Biden push back against Trump? Yo, it's crazy. These are dishonest people. They are lying, cheating and stealing. They say he also tried to shoehorn the network into an online right wing conspiracy that falsely claimed media outlets took millions in government kickbacks.

Falsely, falsely. You see the game they play in the world we live in, my friends? Falsely, they say. It is a fact that the government was spending millions of dollars, tens of millions on subscriptions to these news outlets. In fact, Lisa Reynolds, this is in the The Green Room show on Timcast dot com. I think she was mentioning this. Maybe maybe it's not. I'm pretty sure she mentioned that congressional staffers.

When you when you get the job, instantly get a paid subscription to these news outlets. And I'm like, why? She's like, I guess that's what they want you to read. That's crazy. Guaranteed government money. It's like a utility, huh? OK, I think Congress should pay for everybody's Tim Kess membership so they can watch the show and the important behind the scenes. I mean, what happens if we have a member of Congress who comes on?

And they do an uncensored behind the scenes show members only. We better we better make sure every congressional staffer gets a Timcast membership. Let's let's let's find out. Let's let's find out. We got how many congressional staffers are there? I'm asking Grok. You're gonna give me an answer, buddy. Nine thousand six hundred and twenty five. I would have no problem accepting. You know what? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. They don't just need an account. They need premium membership because you don't want to miss out, do you?

So I think I think the hundred dollar a month tier would be good for the congressional staffers, don't you? So nine thousand six hundred twenty five. Let's do nine hundred and sixty two thousand dollars. Why not? That's scandalous. Democrats would call that kickbacks. They would. I mean, there's Democrat staffers. Let's cut it in half and say it's GOP, right? Four hundred grand a month. And they would call that money laundering.

Now, I don't know if CBS should be shut down or whatever, but Trump said CBS in 60 minutes defrauded the public by doing something which has never to this extent been seen before. They 100 percent removed Kamala's horrible election changing answers to questions and replaced them with completely different and far better answers taken from another part of the interview. This was election changing stuff, election interference, and quite simply, election fraud at a level never seen before.

CBS should lose its license and the cheaters at 60 Minutes should all be thrown out. And this disreputable news show should be immediately terminated with a new Democrat scandal. This arose with respect to USAID illegally paying large sums of money to Politico. See, that's where Trump's wrong. So he did say that I was right right before it's various agencies. They say money to political outlets. The question must be must be asked. Was CBS paid for committing this fraud?

Many other questions to come. They will go down as the biggest broadcasting scandal in history. Now, here's what I want to say. We have not yet uncovered evidence that USAID was funding to the tune of massive amounts news outlets. It's various government agencies buying thousand dollar plans. Insane. But how much you want to bet it'll be proven true. A conspiracy. They say the difference between a conspiracy theory and the news is six months.

How much you want to bet that once Elon really digs it, my friends, it's been a week. Come on. It's been a week of Doge. How much you want to bet? A few months in, they're going to dig it all up. They're going to be able to say $50 million was given to this charity, who then gave $30 million to that charity, who then bought premium advertising for $10 million from this news outlet. And they'll argue, yeah, yeah, but that's just a charity buying sponsorship, right? Right.

Indeed, they say Politico charges, what, 50 to 60 thousand dollars to sponsor their their newsletter. And so the question then becomes, if one of these organizations that receives kickbacks from the government comes and says, we'll pay a premium for sponsorship, you have a large, incestuous and circuitous financing scheme going on. To be fair, some of it's probably legit. You know, nobody from the government told the charity to give the money to the news outlet.

But what ends up happening in those circumstances, the guy who runs the news outlet says, you do realize to his board, the money we get from these three sponsors comes from USAID. And they go, really? That's right. So if we read an article saying USAID should be shut down, those charities stop buying ads from us and they go, oh, crap, don't do it. We better defend USAID. Otherwise, the revenue, the nonprofits that buy ads from us will disappear.

And then how will we make all of the money that we do? One big scam. I love this Rachel Maddow. I ain't playing a 10 minute clip from Rachel Maddow, but I do want to show you this MSNBC segment from her. Trump gravely miscalculates how much Americans care about USAID as backlash strengthens.

Rachel Maddow looks at how Donald Trump's attack on USAID has sparked a widespread backlash, including from within his own party, as people speak out for the agency's missions and workers, as well as the economic ties in some part of America, American, American to specific USAID programs, all of which Trump appears to have assumed no one cares about. He's right. I'll make a bet with you, Rachel. Let's play a game. I'm gonna go walk down the street.

And I'm going to ask, this is what I said earlier, I'm going to get a camera guy for every major city. And we're going to ask people, what are your thoughts on USAID? Then whatever their answer is, the question is, what is USAID? Two things are going to happen. First, 90% of people are going to say, when you ask them, what are your thoughts on USAID? They're going to go, what's that? And then you can say, you know what? Don't even worry about it. Thanks for your time.

Then you're going to get some people on the left who say, I think what Elon is doing is wrong and USAID is good. And then you go, what is USAID? And they're going to say, it's foreign aid. It's like, what's not? Giving grants to charities for gender studies isn't foreign aid. Teaching Moroccans how to make pots is not foreign aid. Pretty sure they know how to do that. No, that's something else. It's international development. That's what they call it. Basically,

The idea behind USAID initially was much more conservative as we would view it today. The idea was we would develop these other nations to our worldview. The problem is woke took it over a long time ago. Government bloat, extraction, extortion, etc. And now USAID is just a big bloated monster that funds other monster programs and other crackpots. Look, the longest time you've had the government dumping money.

And anybody who wanted to take it could. Those people do not want the cash cow to stop. Now, Trump brings up an interesting question. Why is Rachel Maddow so heavily invested in USAID? Could it be that she just lives in a world where anything Trump does, he's wrong? Perhaps. Perhaps, you know.

I kind of wonder, though, are we going to dig up a connection, indirect but still strong, to the funding of the liberal media from USAID and other big outlets more so than we have? That is, when we say a million bucks a year was going to Politico, it looks like about a million dollars a year, but they're estimated to have $200 million in revenue. The argument is

If they're doing $200 million revenue with $200 million cost, that million bucks looks real good to the executives who had to take that money. Even if it's only $100 grand each or a million for one person, money's money, right? A million dollars to run a $200 million business, well, it's going to cover a little bit, but it's not going to keep you afloat. But if your margins are slim, that's money in the pocket. My question is, are there actual sock puppet accounts like I mentioned earlier?

Has the U.S. government, through subterfuge and through psychological operations, set up 100,000 fake user accounts on various media outlets to funnel money to generate the news they like? I mean, look at us. We cite the New York Times and Politico all the time. Are we being played? It's the podcast presidency. We're supposed to set the news cycle. We're starting to. But how much of the news are we just reporting from them? Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Well, my friends, we can round it out with this. While they want to rag on Elon Musk, I want to give a shout out to the richest man in the world. I can't believe this is shocking news to anybody, but it turns out the richest man in the world knows how to make money. Banks sell five point five billion of X loans after investor interest surges. That's right. You hold debt.

Elon Musk comes to you and he says, I'm going to need lots of money, billions to to buy Twitter and we're going to make it X. And here's our plan. And the bank goes, OK, here's the money. Now X is generating double its earnings, double its margin. And investors say we want a piece of the action. So the bank says we'll sell you some of the debt and you're going to get paid interest on top. And Elon is paying. He won.

So when Elon has already proved these people, they're morons. And now he's going into USAID and other other departments and he's gutting them. And it's all legal. I'm going to go ahead and say I trust the world's richest man in this regard. You know, there's Democrats being like, but it's a conflict of interest. This that or otherwise, I'll be like, bro, it's conflict of interest. When USAID gives money to a charity that then donates money to a pact to elect you, that's a conflict of interest. Here's Wall Street Journal. Take a look at this.

Oh, also, I love how they show X Corp San Francisco is the building. Nothing there anymore.

Elon Musk's power in Washington and the return of big advertisers like Amazon have Wall Street clamoring for X. Banks wrapped up the sale of $5.5 billion in debt backed by Musk's social media company on Wednesday. People familiar with the matter said the banks had originally planned to sell around $3 billion at around $0.95 on the dollar. They upsized the deal after seeing demand from investors. In the end, investors, including PIMCO and Citadel, agreed to buy the loans at $0.97 on the dollar.

The floating rate debts carry an additional rate interest rate of 11 percent, with borrowing costs several percentage points above even the riskiest loans on Wall Street. The sale of X-Corps loans showcase the fierce animal spirits that have taken over Wall Street since Trump's election. Let's scroll down and take a look at a meeting Friday with with potential investors. Bankers from Morgan Stanley and the CEO, Linda Yaccarino, presented a summary of X improving financial health.

Most striking was the growing interconnection of X and XAI, Musk's artificial intelligence company. I got to tell you, I stopped using GPT. Chat GPT is slow and it's doing this really annoying thing where it shows you reasoning. And I'm like, I don't care. Grok doesn't do that. Grok's been amazing. Take a look at this. Financial documents reviewed by investors showed that the artificial intelligence company transferred hundreds of millions of dollars to the social media company. People said that money has helped X pay its bills and stay current.

Growing advertising revenue at X should mean fewer transfers. Here's the important thing. You want to talk about large language models and how to train AI? This is why Elon wanted Twitter. Make up all the reasons you want. One of them was Mars communication. Probably true. Training AI off of real-time commentary and news from people all over the world. It's the best training model there probably is. Adapting language, adoption of slang. It's going to have it all.

It's going to have it all. Plus images and videos. Incredible. X reported the investors in 2024 adjusted earnings before interest taxes and depreciation and amortization. It's a bit to the one point two five billion and annual revenue of two point seven billion. Investors said that was a better picture than expected. In 2021, Twitter reported six hundred eighty two million with five billion in revenue.

That was the last full year before Musk took the company private. So let me stress this. Twitter was making $5 billion a year revenue with earnings of only $682 million. Right now, though the revenue is about half at $2.7 billion, the earnings are doubled. Elon cut the costs by like 70% to run this platform. That's crazy.

Wednesday's debt sale is a relief for the banks, which marked down billions of dollars in losses on the loans they extended for Musk's buyout in 2022. A tumultuous start to Musk's run as the ex-owner, along with a steep price he paid to acquire it, compelled the banks to keep their debt on the balance sheet far longer than they usually do. By January 24th, when the Wall Street Journal first reported that the banks were preparing to sell ex-loans, the debt investing world appeared eager to bet on the company's future.

Let me just say, my friends, well, I'm going to mention there's still more work to do and X is improving. Surprise, surprise. The world's richest man knows how to make money. So here we go, my friends. We got more segments coming up. I'm going to grab your super chats right now. And we are going to we're going to grab your super chats and read what you guys got to say.

Sharing the content is the most powerful thing in the world. If everybody right now watching, everybody right now watched, watching the show, shared this on Facebook, on X, on Instagram,

We would be the biggest show in the world instantly. It's not an exaggeration, not a joke. There's currently 24,000 people live on this morning show. We get about 300,000. If 300,000 people shared it all on X, it would be the number one worldwide trend instantly. So I really do mean it. You don't gotta spend money. You can literally just say like, hey, I'm gonna share this. Guys, watch the show. It's fun. Let's go. People are saying audio is cutting in and out. On my end, everything looks normal.

That's weird. You're not getting USAID with this quality. I am looking at my stream. I am recording it. People are saying refresh it. This must be on YouTube's end. Refresh and interesting. I'm not even listening to the audio. Well, that's great. Some say the audio is fine. On our end, we're stable. Internet's working. Everything's up. So I don't know if you guys are seeing an issue. It might be YouTube.

I got to refresh. We're only a few minutes away from wrapping anyway. I'm going to read your super chats. So apologies if you're having issues. Nothing we can do about it. People are saying hit refresh. All right. Pirate Selection says, I don't think Elon and Doge went out thinking they would uncover one of the biggest cases of corruption in U.S. history. They just followed the money. I don't know. I kind of think they may have thought they would find it. Copium Boppy says, we have unleashed a couple of music videos detached and obsequium upon the world. Definitely don't watch them. The algorithm won't be pleased. Oh,

Cult Warrith says, I looked at the USA spending site you posted yesterday. Disney is getting $100 million. You know? Very interesting. Let's grab a couple more. People are saying refreshing and it works. It must be a YouTube problem. Sarah says, thoughts on schools like the Gray School of Wizardry. I learned about on Sticks' stream, Sticks, Sex, and Hammer, and thought it might make for good content for the Inverted World podcast. I don't know anything about it. Maybe Shane Cashman. He's your Inverted World source.

Jason Dixon says, all it takes is one K. I got that line around. You want to be a $1,000 a month member? Bang, you get my phone number. I really don't expect anybody to do it. I don't know. Maybe people really want my phone number. So they're going to be like, sign up for a thousand bucks, get my number and then cancel right away. You know what I'll do? I'll change my number then. I'll give every member a different phone number and the number changes every week.

Actually, you could do a Google voice and just have it rotate. Every week a new post goes up saying, here's the new phone number. Give me a call. I'm only saying that because no one will actually do it because I'd have no time to actually answer my phone throughout the day. But I guess what I can say is if people really do join the $1,000 a month, then sure, they're

You know, but then it's going to happen. Someone's going to buy my number and then just share it with everybody. So, you know, maybe maybe I don't know. I don't know. Well, maybe we'll just do it. I'll just I'll get a different phone number. You know, there you go. Thousand bucks a month. Timcast membership. Let's make it happen. If a hundred man, could you imagine if a hundred people sign up at a thousand bucks a month? I wish I wish we had the kind of swing that Politico had with the government. We'd never have to do anything again.

Dan Munsell says, I can only have decaf. You're unwoke. I such a wonderful flavor profile. Maybe the hippie should come up with a low acid decaf and really hit one out of the park. It's a good idea, actually. It's a good idea. Yeah, maybe maybe we'll figure out how to do a decaf version of Graphene Dream. I don't know. I don't know. You know, it's nuts how people are saying they love Graphene Dream. Ian sold a year and a half worth a year and a half half's worth of coffee in in two months.

The way we do it is we order bags, the physical bags with with colors on them. The coffee itself is roasted to order. So it's like small batches are made when a certain amount of orders come in. So we bought five thousand three hundred fifty color printed bags empty. And that's supposed to last us the year. And then when you order the coffee, the roaster will roast the blend and put it so you get it fresh. Yeah.

Ian sold the entire years over the bag so quickly that it takes six weeks to print up more bags. So then when we did, we still only got a half batch printed up in six weeks and those sold out in a month. And so now we don't have any bags anymore. What we could do, we really don't want to, is to get rush orders, is put them in paper bags. But I kind of think people like the Ian floating thing, too.

So they said, what if we put it in standard, you know, like blank bags and put a sticker on it? And I was like, let's just order more bags and sell what we were meant to sell. But we also have Sleepy Joe. Sleepy Joe DeKiff. All right. Polly Dinto says, Tim, this is the biggest story maybe ever our government has been propagandizing us. Yeah, it's a story about the stories themselves. So it may in fact be the biggest story. Crazy.

Wade Steven says, Tim, have you looked into gift memberships? Someone purchases a membership that is randomly given to someone in the chat. That is a very good idea. Right now, we've known this for a while. One of the most difficult things to signing up a member is steps. So you got to go to TimCast.com. You click join us. You got to fill out your information. You got to sign up for a parallel economy or strut. Then you got to connect your account. Oh, boy, so much work. Regular people are just like,

I don't know, man. So what we're working on right now is if you go to Google Play Store, you can download the Timcast app. And what we're working on is one click membership. It will have a premium because I think that's how it works. Google charges a percentage. And so what the way it would work is if you have the app, you click subscribe and it pops up subscribe using your Google Play account and you click go and boom, you're a member. So we're working on that. We'll figure it out.

So, my friends, last one, Captain Skidmark says USAID is buying the graphene dream. Maybe maybe the reason Ian selling out is we're being secretly propped up by the government. Probably not. But we're going to wrap it up there, my friends. It's one. A new segment just went live on this channel. Watch it.

And share all the shows with your friends. I'm hoping I can do this hour live stream because I do like getting it. But, you know, we got to get the other segments to every day. We'll have some segments for you tomorrow. We'll be back with more segments today on this channel. Share the show. Follow me on X. Be a member of Timcast dot com. Thank you for hanging out. We'll see you all in the next segment, which is literally live right now on this channel.

A major scandal across the country over the past week with USAID funding being exposed, going to weird DEI programs, media efforts around the world to craft what some call a pseudo reality. And the American people are sick of it. Donald Trump won the popular vote. He won a mandate. Elon Musk was always a part of those plans. That's why Doge existed well before Donald Trump won.

It's also why in December we saw some of the highest army recruiting numbers in over a decade and January in over 15 years, because when Trump won faith, well, faith was getting restored in this country for so many people. And now what are we seeing with the RFK Jr. hearing? I saw a ton. It's anecdotal, but there's a lot of it. A ton of hippie, dippy liberal types saying they were quitting the party. They have had enough.

Where are we today, my friends? Democrats are in trouble, says The Washington Post. Tim Ryan is roasting the Democratic Party. Chuck Schumer looks like a lunatic. Guys, I'm looking at everything going on and it feels to me like I refer to this as Donald Trump's march to the sea. He you know, someone on the Tim Cass uncensored show last night become a member, by the way.

said that Trump's three elections, very much so, are the Star Wars trilogy. A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Orange Man. And in this regard, Donald Trump has defeated the deep state, it would appear. And with the moves being made against USAID, the corporate press, the Democratic Party,

The FBI, the CIA, the gutting of the bureaucracy, over 40,000 individuals working for the federal government are expected to resign. Donald Trump is going scorched earth on the administrative state. It's crazy. The Democratic Party has nothing to offer. And I'm I'm I'm actually kind of shocked by this.

The Democratic Party, we all know, has long just been a whatever Trump does, it's wrong party. But there was some argument there, right? That was the idea was if Trump said we should do we should have the Abraham Accords, the response we'd get from Democrats is this is going to lead to more turmoil. You're undercutting the Palestinians. It's a bad move. You know, Trump's making a mistake.

Donald Trump would say something like, I'm going to deregulate the oil industry. And they'd say, no, you can't do that because we have environmental protections and you don't care about climate change. There was some kind of political argument. Well, now they got a problem. Donald Trump goes, I'm going to deport this guy who raped a woman. And the Democrats, no, you can't do that because. And what do we see? Regular working class people who've long been Democrat go away. Hold on.

Like that guy's a murderer and a rapist and he should be deported. Why are you defending him? There have been a few viral posts where either Democrats or individuals shared messages from their friends who are liberals, where they're saying things like, that's it. I'm done. I got one of them for you. I got one of the videos, a guy renouncing the Democratic Party. RFK Jr. was massive. RFK Jr. He's a liberal. He's an environmentalist.

He is friends with many Democrats and they all knifed him in the back. Why? Look, 10 years ago, it was all of my liberal friends. And it always has been who have been going like, dude, Monsanto and like these big pharmaceutical companies are doing things with pesticides. You know what I'm talking about? My hippie, dippy, liberal, vegan friends being like, I don't know, man, I don't just I just don't trust big pharma. And now what do we have?

Bernie Sanders, the single largest recipient of big pharma dollars. But I didn't get money from the CEOs care about that dozen plus CEOs giving you money. I want to know why, Bernie, that the employees of these companies want to give you so much. Now, please, you can come and say it's because they've seen the inside. They know how bad it is.

Well, I don't think these people working at these companies would want to lose their jobs. Could it be, Bernie, that your plans for a single payer system would create locked in government contracts guaranteeing the jobs and revenue of that industry ad infinitum? Perhaps Bernie Sanders turns on RFK Jr., votes against them. I saw a ton of people after the RFK Jr. hearing who are liberal, who are Democrat, being like, that's it, I'm done.

Democrats, many of them have concerns about pesticides and phthalates and PCBs and chemicals. And I'm sitting here talking with Sam Seder of the majority report. I'm sure he's flip flopped by now, but he's saying we should be regulating these things. He said to me, I agree with him. He said, is there any substance we regulate that you think becomes healthy after a certain amount of time? I was like, no, I agree with you. We should regulate that stuff. Like when I was like, I think we should have more when there are chemicals.

leached into our food and it's poisoning us. Regulate those. Don't let I agree with that. RFK Jr. comes out and says, I'd like to regulate these chemicals and keep them out of our foods. And the Democrats like, no, we vote against it. And now we're seeing the backlash. Democrats are in trouble, my friends.

Let's read this. I want to show you a video. I want to show you the polling. I don't know where we go from here, but I do not understand how Democrats recover. I can speculate, you know, whatever, but I don't know. Before we do, my friends head over to Timcast dot com. I just got to say Green Room number 74. The links in the description below become a member. Watch the show with Nuance Bro and Lisa Reynolds and we're hanging out.

Uh, this one was really funny. It was, uh, there are some inappropriate jokes in this, uh, in this green room hangout. It's, it's not, I would just check it out. Okay. Cause I can't say some of the jokes that nuance bro made and, uh, embarrass Lisa. And she's like, he's always baiting me. And it was really, really funny. We're talking about super bowl and, uh, Trump, uh, whiskey, wine, trash TV, and the BBC. Uh-huh.

Go to TimCast.com, become a member, click the link, support the show. Let's talk about the Democratic Party. We got the story from the Washington Post. Democrats are in trouble and a provocative analysis offers ideas to repair the party. Oh, yeah. Well, I got this. I got this video.

Tim Ryan, let me let me let me play the video of Schumer for you first, because you can draw your own conclusions. And then I'll show you what what Tim Ryan has to say. Oh, this poor Democrat, this poor Democrat. Here you go. I'm going to stand with you. OK, is that too loud? I'm going to turn that down. I'm going to stand with you in this fight and we will win. We will.

We will win. We will win. We will win. We will win. We will win. We won't rest. We won't rest. We won't rest. We won't rest. Thank you, everybody. That's it, my friends. That is what is left of the Democratic Party.

Tim Ryan says, I just don't even know what to say anymore when I see this kind of stuff. Is it Saturday Night Live or real life? Does anyone really think this is the future of the country? This is the only alternative to Trump's America. It's just so depressing. What's wrong with Trump's America? Answer me this, man, the millennials, the Ron Paul generation, and we're not saying the Ron Paul supporters, but those of us who were on the Internet during the Ron Paul love revolution. It is. It's amazing.

Trump is gutting the deep state, the bureaucratic state, the administrative state. And this is the only thing they have left. It is the march to the sea. It is scorched earth. Take a look at this from civics favorability among Democrats spiked just before the election. Don't know why. And now it's dropped to 35 percent in aggregate. That is not the lowest it's been, according to civics, but it's it's near the lowest in

Thirty five percent favor favorability. Fifty seven percent unfavorability. Of course, we've seen the polls showing that one of the latest polls come out shows them at thirty one percent favorability, the lowest it has ever been. And Josie, the redheaded libertarian, says, I've not seen Democrats this angry since we took away their slaves. Wow.

Indeed, my friends. Indeed. This is where we're at. I got another video for you. Now, this man, Isaiah L. Carter, says, I hereby renounce the Democratic Party. And he's got some he cusses a little bit. He's very angry. But this video is going massively viral. Let me make sure it's not too loud. And then take a listen to what this man has to say. This fucking political party, the Democratic Party have lied to us about everything.

They've lied about being the party of the middle class. They've lied about being the party of peace. They've lied about being the party that wants to help poor people. What the last several weeks have proven to us all

is that this was a part, this is a cadre of criminals and losers and spoiled children of affluent parents who were more concerned about looking good

than actually doing good. These are people who were more concerned about looking like they were doing something for the American people than actually doing things for the American people. And that's why I'm so angry. Because this party lied to me while stealing my tax dollars. The Democratic Party lied to us all while they brought in millions

of illegal immigrants for their own political purposes for the last four years. 20 to 30 million illegal aliens brought in. Well, the number keeps going up. I don't know if it's that high. I think the estimates are between 11 and 20 million. But, sir, continue. And now we come to USAID being probably the largest money laundering operation in American history.

Congratulations, Dems. You've outdone even Bernie Madoff. Disgusted beyond words. Disgusted with the waste of money. Disgusted with the fraud. With the way that you people put, the way that you people use color legitimacy and the way you use black people as fucking mules to get us to push whatever fucking agenda you wanted to.

The amount of division you used black people to sow upon the American people, you used us for that. And I will never ever forgive this political party, the shit that I've gone through personally. Y'all were supposed to be the party of free speech, the party of women's rights. You have immolated all of those things, and then as if enough weren't enough,

You then decide that you're going to die on the hill of USAID, a government audit. You're trying to prevent a government audit because some of you really are trying to stay out of prison. Wow. We see the game now.

Y'all been out here telling us that the game was rigged against certain people. Well, now we found out who the people that were rigging the game were. Congratulations. Y'all are never going to win another political race ever again. Not if I can help it. It's just so wild. Bravo, sir. Isaiah L. Carter. Who's this man? This guy. He follows me. Baltimore born, NYC made wrong thinker. Bravo. He hit it so succinctly.

USAID. First of all, I love the word immolate as a great choice of words, sir. And it's an audit. This is what we're looking at. It's an audit of USAID's funding money being sent to liberal leftist woke nonprofits paying massive salaries to these executive board members and executive staff so they can live like kings and do nothing. And he nailed it.

When Elon Musk walks in and says, we want to get a handle on the finances at USAID, well, the Democrats lose their minds. They say, how dare you? Yeah. Turns out Elon Musk struck a nerve. Literally. He found out, he knew, where the money was coming from and where the money was going. And Democrats have never been so angry. It's fascinating. They, uh...

It's it's it's it's absolutely fascinating. Donald Trump can do so much and he has and they say bad things about him. But the targeting of USAID has them all of a sudden coming out saying help. They're staging a coup. It's a revolution. Elon Musk is breaking the law. It's nuts how hard against this they're going. But let me let me let me wrap it up the way our good friend Isaiah did. We are looking at an audit.

of a department, the U.S. Agency for International Development, an audit on how they're spending money. Marco Rubio is now reported as telling foreign allies and partners, we're not shutting it down, but we have to end programs that we cannot defend. That's what's happening. My friends, all of you sitting at home, I want you to understand this.

USAID has had no accountability, has been dumping and sending money wherever they feel like. Elon Musk said they found out the Treasury Department was instructed to approve of all expenditures no matter what. Never deny an invoice. They were just sucking tax dollars out of it. It was an extraction. It was an extraction. Democrats got caught.

Don't get me wrong. It's not just Democrats. But since Trump got elected in 2016, the establishment conservative base has been largely routed with many of these neocons joining the Democrats. And we can see the machine they had in play for kickbacks and funneling money into their own pockets and the pockets of their allies that live in Loudoun County, Virginia. And this is all the Democratic Party has left. It's the deep state, my friends. You know, the way I was thinking about it.

As I just said, the neocon establishment Republicans were bad, too. But Trump defeated them first. And the party was in chaos. Many of these Republicans joined the Dallas Cheney. Right. Adam Kinzinger. They're your examples. These are machine state supporters. Now, with this latest election, Trump's going scorched earth and marching to the sea, as it were. He is destroying these institutions and gutting their ability to fight back.

I don't know how Democrats recover from this. We've explained that Donald Trump has 16 months, maybe, because once the midterm cycle begins, squishy Republicans are going to be too afraid to do anything backing Trump's agenda, because if they do, if they if they side with Trump, they're afraid that their moderate districts will swing the other way. But you just saw Isaiah. Look, I'm hearing more and more. The RFK Jr. hearing was a wake up call.

This man was a Democrat who wanted to run on the Democratic Party ticket, and they blocked him. He went to Trump and said, let's make a deal. And Trump, a man of his word, held that deal. He held up to that deal. He said, R.F.K. Jr., you're in. R.F.K. Jr. respectfully says, I serve at the pleasure of the president, meaning he's going to hold back some of the things he wants so that he can deliver what Trump and R.F.K. Jr. agree upon. Even Cenk Uygur was saying this. And I agree. We may disagree.

See the world very differently, left and right. But if we all agree we have a problem in the health care industry or with foreign spending, we all agree. Well, then it's actually quite simple. Let's get the victories we agree on because there's no reason to hold those back. And then we'll debate and argue the other stuff. RFK Jr. delivered that. And the Democratic Party unanimously opposed RFK Jr. Why?

He's an anti-vaxxer. He's dangerous. Bernie Sanders, the single largest recipient of Big Pharma dollars, wants to come out. Man, talk about evil. I despise Bernie Sanders. Despise Bernie Sanders. I did not receive money from CEOs. That's the lie. Did you guys know that when Bernie Sanders became a millionaire, because he did,

He stopped saying the millionaires. You see, Bernie used to go out rallies and he'd say the millionaires and the billionaires in this country. That was actually more of a Trump anyway. But the billionaires and billionaires in this country. And then he became a millionaire. And then he started saying the billionaires. And it was weird because I'm like Bernie.

There's a difference between someone who's got $1 million and someone who's got $999 million. They're both millionaires, but there is a big, big, big difference. Now, Bernie, who made just over $1 million off his book, was now a millionaire, and he dare not call out millionaires anymore. What do you mean? I got no—I can't stand these people.

I got no problem calling out millionaire crackpot leftists and billionaires dumping their money using garbage systems like USAID. I got no problem calling them out. I got no problem, my friend, saying the millionaires and the billionaires. But truth be told, I don't think it's the millionaires and the billionaires. Elon Musk's a billionaire. He's a smart guy. He's doing pretty well. Do you guys hear? They put out this report. X billionaires.

When Elon bought X, the revenue may have gone down, but he doubled their earnings after. What is it? It's complicated, but basically he doubled their earnings and more than doubled their margins. Very profitable. And all of the lenders who put in on this are excited. Look at that. They attack him. And he's a billionaire and he's doing good work. What is Elon doing right now? Auditing.

Mass spending from the government. Democrats do not have anything to run on. I don't understand where they're going to go. Look at this. Democrats hammered by ugly unpopularity numbers, a major spike in their unpopularity. And I'm going to tell you why. Look, as NPR says, after major 2024 defeats, the Democratic Party searches for a new direction from The Washington Post. Democrats focus on Elon Musk as they search for a message to fight Trump. They've got nothing. They got nothing.

Hands off our money. Look at this. Look at this. You know what I really love? I love this one right here from MSNBC. Trump gravely miscalculates how much Americans care about USAID as backlash strengthens. These swamp monsters. Look at Rachel Maddow. She is disgusting. Americans don't care about USAID. You want to make a bet? I will make a bet. How much you want to bet? I send a camera crew

New York, L.A., D.C., let's go Miami, let's go Houston. Let's send a camera guy to each downtown area, Nashville, and ask people, do you have a positive, negative, or neutral view of USAID? And you know what people are going to say? What's that? Rachel Maddow claiming there's a backlash against it. This is hilarious. This is the thing about Democrats and why they're failing. Rachel Maddow trying to come out and be like,

Americans actually love USAID, don't you? We have staff here and they're talking about how their woke family members are like, I am shocked that Trump is gutting USAID. It's like, bro, you didn't even know it existed until last week. You don't care. So I'll shout at Isaiah again. This was an audit.

How are you spending our tax dollars? And you actually have the likes of Rachel Maddow and the Democratic Party being like, how dare you stop the wasteful spending on a gender play in Peru or pottery lessons in in Morocco or the spread of atheism in Pakistan? What? Yep. Not to mention eight percent of BBC media action was funded by USAID.

Why do we care about that? You think Americans I'll tell you this. I got a plan. I got a pitch. Trump should come out and say we are going to take all of the money that USAID spends, all of it, and we're going to divide it up and give every American a piece, which probably means you're each going to get like, I don't know, let me do some quick math. It's going to be maybe 100 bucks. Would it really be like 100 dollars? Yeah, I think it would might be 200 bucks.

Here's what we can do. We can keep USAID or you can have $200. What do you think the American people are going to say to that? They're going to say, I'll take it. Actually, yeah. So I think what do we have? I think they may have around like $60 billion in spending. It might be more than that. And then we've got 340 million people. So is that right?

Like $200? Am I doing my math wrong? Maybe I'm doing my math wrong. I don't know. Whatever. Off the top of my head. I'm going to wrap it up there, my friends. We got a lot more going on. Scandals. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. And we will see you all at noon live. It's going to be fun. No matter what happens this Sunday.

Philadelphia is going to burn. I know, I know. A lot of people are going to be like, Tim, chill. Come on. Dude, come on. You guys, you know exactly what's going to happen. Win or lose. We got the Eagles and the Chiefs. Super Bowl is going to be fun. But I'm torn. I'm torn. We're having a Super Bowl party. And the issue right now is that the NFL is facing calls for a boycott because they're going to be performing what is well known as the Black Supremacist song.

Was it lift every voice and sing, but apparently just for one race. And I'm not OK with that. Let me tell you, my friends, the star spangled banner discriminates against no one. It represents the hopes and dreams of a nation. It represents the values that we have built to this day where we have become the least racist nation, the least discriminatory nation in the history of the world. That's right. Now, the left, the Democrats, they're going to be like, yeah, but when they wrote that song, they had slavery.

I implore these people literally just read history. Frederick Douglass, talk about based AF. He challenged the American people. He said, will you stand by your own words that all men are created equal? Or was that a lie? Man, talk about fire. And people were pissed. They were like, how dare you? Because they were racist. You know, but he was right.

He said, how dare you claim all men are created equal when you actually only meant white men or your people, your race? And so while I can certainly recognize this country is imperfect, of course, we're sane people. It was the values of the founding fathers distilled over time to create this beautiful and great and wealthy, powerful, prosperous nation.

So, my friends, the Star Spangled Banner is a message to all races, to all peoples of the American dream. The idea that we would have a race specific song is an affront to the great American melting pot. So am I going to boycott the Super Bowl over this? I don't know. They're getting rid of end racism. Yo, I can't. But Matt Walsh, I got to pull up. I didn't have a sweet pulled up. We got to pull it up. Matt Walsh has a really great tweet on X mocking the the end race racism thing.

Oh, Matt's great. Let's pull up his his post here. So they're also removing the end racism. Let's see. Don Dove Kleiman says just in the NFL removes and rates the messaging in the end zone ahead of the Super Bowl. Sunday's game between the Chiefs and the Eagles will be the first time since 2021 that end racism is not included as a message in the back of a Super Bowl end zone. What? I can't believe that's reality. Trump is expected to be in attendance. Matt Walsh said.

Really worried about this. If it doesn't say end racism, how are we supposed to know whether we should keep ending racism or not? What if everyone starts racism again? We are totally lost without moral instruction being delivered to us via slogans painted on football fields. Indeed, good, sir. And with that being said, talk of doing a black national anthem is so insanely offensive. You know why? You know why, my friends? Because I am but a humble minority.

And I'm staring. I'm standing before you saying, please don't oppress me. Oh, I'm so oppressed. You know, in all seriousness, you know, you guys know I come from a mixed race background. That's right. Temple said it. Part Asian.

I hate all of this stuff. This is why I've always hated wokeness. It's why I've always despised this liberal race based world, because they come out and they go, oh, the poor, oppressive minority. I know, Tim, here's the thing that'll help you. We'll make a song for black people. And I'm like that that in no way makes anything better for me. Like, man, you know, my family dealt with racism. Racism is a real thing. It exists.

My family dealt with it. How am I benefited by you guys creating racial segregation and then having a song, a black supremacist song? I know what they're going to say. They're going to say it's not about supremacy. It's about equality. No, no, no, no, no.

If there was a if the national anthem was called like, you know, the whiteness of a nation or something, I'd be like, I can understand why people find that to be racist. It's not. It's the star spangled banner. It's a story of a dude watching this great battle where bombs were blowing up, but just bombarding this fortress. And when the American flag would fall down, people would run up and they would lift that flag back up.

And when the bombs were going off and they were exploding in cannon fire, each flash he could see in the distance, the American flag was still there. It is a song about perseverance and fighting for our right, our God given rights. And you know what? It's for everybody. Now, we had a civil war over slavery. And today, what that message represents is that all people of all backgrounds, you come to America legally and you have an opportunity to

You can be a black man or woman and be a billionaire in this country because the only color that matters. Well, there's there's a couple green. That's the obvious one. Money talks, BS walks. But afterwards, let me tell you, my friends, though, most people, they motivated by getting that money. Red, white and blue, baby. Red, white and blue.

So we're going to have a Super Bowl party. And, you know, I've had people ask who I'm rooting for. And I'm like, I don't know. I was talking to my buddy Richie and he's like, who you got to win? And I was like, I don't know. He's like, well, who you want to win? I was like, I don't care. And he's like, why are you having a Super Bowl party? And I'm like, dude, what do you mean? We're going to put on the game. We're going to order pizza and wings and we're going to have fun and be Americans and watch the Super Bowl. It's a fun thing to do. I'm not a big football guy. I don't care.

hanging out with your friends. They care. A lot of people work here. They love the football. They're really excited. Well, we're going to give it to them. You guys are going to watch the game. You're going to make jokes. We're going to hang out. We're going to be friends. We're going to be community. We're going to have pizza, deep dish, extra cheese, extra sauce, pepperoni, and maybe pineapple. That's what it's all about. And you know what? I don't need this race-based insanity. So here's basically what's happening. Let me pull this up. Actually, you know, I'm going to give a shout out to... Do I even have...

Timcast.com pulled up. You see, I always do this. You got to go to Timcast.com. You got to become a member. Support our work. I'll shout this out while we're talking about the Super Bowl. Yesterday's green room on Timcast.com. It was very, very fun and funny hanging out with Nuance Bro. A lot of funny jokes. Basically, it was a bunch of people hanging out on the couch who was talking. But I actually think it was one of the best green rooms we had because we were being offensive and we were being funny.

And it was good fun. Timcast.com. Click the link in description below. Sign up. Become a member to support our work. You can watch this uncensored, uncensored. We talk we talk a bit about the Super Bowl. Here's a story. Black national anthem to be performed in front of Trump at the Super Bowl. And they say President Trump is going to attend. We know blah, blah, blah. The performance of the hymn at last year's Super Bowl caused anger among prominent members of the MAGA movement.

Trump's anticipated blah, blah, blah. The hymn is known as Lift Every Voice and Sing, adopted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, NAACP. I thought the phrase colored people was offensive. I don't know. It's often referred to as the black national anthem. I consider it to be black supremacist. I'll tell you why.

I can tell you, we had Ro Khan on the show a couple weeks ago, and I outright said, I understand systemic racism, blockbusting, redlining. You hear me talk about it all the time. Institutions 60, 70 years ago, codified in law, were segregating based on race and all of these things, and we don't like it. Don't you dare. Don't you dare come to me and say that we are going to continue that practice of racial segregation. You know what happens? It starts here. They say, we're going to do a song for black people.

Well, then the Asians are going to be like, what about us? And then what are we going to do? Are we going to do 15 national anthems, one for each race? Or do we stop to recognize that the Star Spangled Banner is a song for everyone? It is for all races. It is for all peoples. You are an American in this country. And you know what? I got to tell you, to an extent, it is for even people around the world. You know why?

I want the people around the world to look at the United States as the shining city on the hill, something to strive to be like, prosperous, reasonable. And, you know, if they want to come here, they want to immigrate to this country, they can do it legally. And I think that's great. I think this country is a beacon of hope and should be. But for a lot of people, they don't like it. I am offended that they would have a black supremacist song. There should be a song for black people. No.

No, no, no, no, no. There should be a song for all people, and there already is. So they're saying it's going to be performed at the Super Bowl by Louisiana-born singer LaDeecy. The hymn was first written as a poem by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson in the late 1800s. It was then set to music by his brother. You know, I understand the problems of slavery. But there's other racial grievances that exist in this country.

The Japanese internment camps, Chinese railroad workers. Do you guys watch that 1883? What was that show? Was it 1883 show? It was 1883. I got the number right. I always get the number wrong because it's just the name of a year. And one of the characters marries a Chinese woman and he has mixed race kids and they go to his house and they call them mongrels. And they're they're all racist. It's just the way it was.

Are we going to live in this world? Like, let me tell you. Do you think that I am angry about things like that? Bro, let me tell you. The past is the past. We learn from it. We learn to do better. We learn to avoid the bad things and we explain why they're bad. But if you think I would ever go to some...

I don't know, rancher family who has land for 100 years because they stole it from insert race and be like, it's time to do a land acknowledgement and give no way. No way. Never. You know, if there's something where like someone steals land in a lifetime, like let's file lawsuits. Let's like you can't do that. But if we're talking about history going way back and we've dealt with these issues, we fought for these issues, we bled over these issues.

Why are we going back and saying, let's bring up all of the problems of the past and segregate based on race? Ain't doing it. But I'll tell you this, my friends, I'm not going to boycott the Super Bowl because I'm not really a big Super Bowl guy to begin with. I think most people probably aren't. I think it's going to be interesting to see who Trump roots for. We'll see. But I want to make sure you guys know I'm not OK with this.

You know, maybe I don't think a boycott makes sense. I think we want to we're winning the culture war. They removed the stupid and racism. I think we need to make it be known. Don't do this. Star spangled banner. But who knows? I just think I got to be honest. Ain't ain't nobody going to boycott the Super Bowl like nobody's going to do it. The strategy of trying to call for a boycott ain't going to work.

I'll just say that. I'm going to wrap it up there, my friend. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. And we got more segments, of course. We always do. And we're going to hang out. Timcast IRL. So stay tuned and we'll see you all then. Shout out to our good friend Alex Jones on his latest victory. The war rages on. But a judge has denied the sale of InfoWars to The Onion saying they're not in bankruptcy anymore. You can't buy it. You can't have it.

Denied. The first thing I want to say, ladies and gentlemen, have y'all seen what Alex Jones looks like right now? Can I pull up a picture of this guy? Alex Jones ripped. Yo, Alex Jones is getting shredded in your black. Do we? Is there? Is there? Look at this. This is from a few months ago. Alex Jones is getting back into shape.

And this is pretty old. But for those of you that watch InfoWars, I wonder if we've got Alex Jones in shape. Because lately he's been looking absolutely fantastic. And I want to give a shout out to AJ for the hard work he's put in, in getting fit, losing the weight, being healthy.

It's inspirational, man. It really is. I mean, the dude, Alex, you were heavy and you took you took your health into your own hands. And, you know, I watch those clips every I watch. I watch a little bit of wars every so often. I see him on X looking fantastic. And so it's all about I encourage all of you. We had fit cast IRL where we encouraged everybody to get in shape moving towards the election. I myself over the past few years got in shape. Well,

Those choppier, you know, I think it's really important. And so what I'm telling you right now, ladies and gentlemen, is that not only is Alex Jones winning the legal battles where we won the cultural, one of the great cultural battles with the election, a popular vote victory, much credit and thanks to Alex Jones. Now, a lot of people were involved in pushing those efforts, but Alex Jones, of course. And now following those victories, there's more. There's more. Now, I'm hoping that based on this, uh, uh,

The latest administration. We've got we've got more news to James O'Keefe had his federal whatever they were doing, that investigation from the Southern District of New York dropped it. We are winning. Yo, they're they're delaying cash Patel a week. This is B.S. But I hope we can see some action from Trump's administration to review this. It's clearly B.S. It's clearly B.S. We need a civil rights investigation on this one.

But let me just say we're winning across the board. So today, as we read about Alex's great victory, the judge barring the sale of InfoWars, I want to remind you all to get fit, be healthy, be the best you can be. That's what it's all about, my friends. Before we read this story, of course, I'm going to shout out the Green Room. Last night we were hanging out at Lisa Reynolds. We had Nuance Pro. My good buddy, Brandon Miner, was hanging out.

Chuck, of course, you know, I'm Chuck from Timcast. And it was fun, funny. If you want to watch a behind the scenes, somewhat inappropriate, joking about news, politics, the Super Bowl, just we were hanging out before the show. Definitely check it out. I think it was one of our better green rooms. It's fun. It's really fun. And, you know, we're getting rave reviews on bringing the green room show back. We're getting more members. It's really, really fantastic. The Mary Morgan one, actually, was

Let me scroll down and click the green room. This one, like people were hitting me up like crazy saying like that was actually one of the best podcasts ever. Terry Schilling and Mary Morgan hanging out in the green room talking about other stuff. Check it out. Support our work. Let's read from NPR.

A federal bankruptcy court has rejected a deal that would have cleared the way for a second attempt to auction off InfoWars, Alex Jones' company. The decision Wednesday is yet another temporary reprieve for Jones, who's trying to maintain the perch and the audience he's built up over a decade. It's also a further delay for Sandy Hook families seeking to collect any of the $1.3 billion in damages they won after suing Jones for defamation nearly seven years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if...

After this victory, if Jones files some more motions or whatever, and then we actually get a higher court to pause and say, we need a review of this because this does not make sense. Let me just say, my friends, look, I don't think Alex should have been saying a lot of things he said. It's whatever. He's his own man. He can say what he wants. But this is a crazy case where something like 10 years.

After he had made comments about Sandy Hook, they sued him for defamation. And there's a lot of questions. Apparently, it's been a while since this case happened. But in the initial case, they ruled in default, saying that Alex didn't actually provide the documents they requested when Alex said he gave them literally everything. So who's who's what's going on here? I would say this. Trump pardoned Ross Albrecht. He can do that. And a lot of libertarians saying the same people who have to Trump were going after him. It's B.S.,

I hope Trump recognizes and the people in his sphere that the attempts to go after Alex Jones are not different. Now, I think he's got some responsibility for saying things about these families. I mean, defamation law exists, and I'm I'm not opposed to people being able to sue when you are defamed, slandered, libeled, whatever. But to shut down his entire company, to publicly express their intent is not to get compensation for wrongdoing, but to destroy Alex Jones. I say no.

I say no. They say Judge Christopher Lopez shut down any arguments from lawyers at the start of what was expected to be a day-long hearing Wednesday in Houston. He immediately ruled that he cannot approve the deal because it relates to assets of Infowars parent company Free Speech Systems, which is no longer in bankruptcy. The judge is overseeing Jones's personal bankruptcy, and he said approving the proposed deal would require him to overstep his authority. I wonder if this is just a master move by Alex Jones. Basically, pull Free Speech Systems out of bankruptcy.

That way they can't auction it off. I'm not going to allow the sale of assets anymore, the judge said, only a pure sale of equity. This is a reversal from the judge's previous positions that Jones's assets, free speech systems, fall under the control of the bankruptcy trustee and is heightening frustration and confusion among those involved. It remains unclear how much bidders may be willing to pay for only the equity of a company facing massive judgments. Indeed.

And it seems to be inviting attorneys to try and seize assets through state courts, even though Judge Lopez sternly put a stop to such efforts last summer. The judge also said on Wednesday that he would not approve another auction bid containing a non-cash component like the one the Connecticut family submitted in last auction. This is where things get crazy. They basically said the onion was like, we're going to buy InfoWars in bankruptcy and

And we're going to put up cash and the money that InfoWars owes to the families that's to be paid for them from the sale, we will include. It makes no sense. OK, let me let me let me try this again. This is weird. The point of the bankruptcy sale, let's say they sell InfoWars for a million bucks. The million dollars then goes to the families of the Sandhook victims as part of their settlement, right? Or their judgment. They basically said to the Onion, we are going to so the money you owe us is

We will include as the sale, right? Basically, if that is allowed, they're basically saying no one can buy this because the way it would work is they could be like, then you could say, we'll give a million dollars for this and then a billion on top. And when they say, where's the billion dollars? It's like, well, you know, the billion that's owed to the Sandhuk families, it's that. And then I say, you're the Sandhuk families are using their own debt to them.

To say the full value of the sale is the debt they put on top. That's what they were trying to do. And the judge said, no way. In that deal, the onion in conjunction with the families offered half as much in cash as any other bidder, which was the only other bidder. Sorry. First United American companies, which is a fill with Jones and his online store. But the onion bid also include a sweetener. The Connecticut families would forego some of their proceeds to ensure the other parties would collect more.

In December, the judge ultimately blocked the sale, saying the bids were too low and setting other concerns, including that the onion offer amounted to a contingency bid that was not allowed under the auction rules. Not only that, they said, here's how we're going to do it. Everybody write down the most you're willing to pay and put in an envelope. And then whoever has the most wins. That's not an auction. That's that's a trick. That's not an auction.

The auction should should be company says we'll give a million. San Diego family say we'll give two or the onion says two. And then the other people can say, well, I'll give more. I'll give more. And that's how you auction things off. The idea that they would just stop there. Insane. Since then, First United American Companies was planning to more than double its offer to eight million. And the onion was also expected to significantly increase its bid and to include a sweetener similar to last one. But the judge ruled that out Wednesday, saying he wants the case to get back on track with a more simple deal.

I was asked to approve a sale that I had a contingency clearly in it, but was told to act like there wasn't a contingency. I don't want any more contingencies. If there's going to be a sale of assets, cash will be king. Bam.

The Connecticut families have long said they are less interested in any financial windfall than they are in shutting down InfoWars and stopping Jones from continuing to spew the kind of conspiracy theories that harmed them. The Texas families have more have been more inclined to take their compensation and have some modicum of closure. Well, my friends, I need only tell you very simply, it is a new day in this country. Donald Trump is the president and things like this ain't going to fly no more. They ain't going to fly.

The attack on Alex Jones for whatever he did wrong should not be the end of his company and the jobs of everybody who works there, which is insanity. If you want to have a penalty for defamation, I support those. I agree with that. Let's have the trial. They wanted the GDP of France. I'm not kidding. Like a trillion dollars. Now they want one billion. That's not payable. That's they might as well just say a gajillion bajillion dollars.

You want to get someone for defamation, fine. But what's the ultimate penalty going to be? A few million or something? Ridiculous. I hope the federal government looks at this. I hope a higher court takes it on. And I hope AJ wins more. But I'll wrap up by saying, my friends, get fit.

Get healthy. Make America healthy again. That's how we do it. There's an American resurgence happening right now. We're getting healthier. We're cutting out the sodas. I'm drinking me this delicious Spindrift. I'd love it if they sponsored me because I love Spindrift. I don't know. You know, it's funny. Spindrift to me. I don't know anything about the company comes off like.

Probably some hippy dippy liberal guy in California who is like, we don't want all that sugar in our food. And they're totally anti-Trump and liberal or whatever. And I'm making that up. I don't know that's true. But it's like, that's what it's all about, man. That's what the Democrats lose it when they go after RFK Jr. Okay, get healthy. This spin drift stuff is five calories, one gram of sugar, carbonated water, raspberry puree, raspberry puree, lime juice. I love these things.

That's what it's all about. AJ got fit. Why can't you? Come on, let's go. Shout out to Alex Jones and Infowars. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. Become a member at TimCast.com. Stay tuned. We got more segments coming up and we will see you all then. Woke is dead. Maybe not completely, but largely. I'm sure there are still some remnants here or there. But as Donald Trump continues his figurative political march to the sea,

We will be routing and removing wokeness from our culture, from our institutions. And my friends, it hath begun. Now, many of you may be aware with the video game Dragon Age, the Veil Guard. You know, I like to play myself up some video games here and there. And this story was pretty big a few months ago because Dragon Age is a triple A major release. It's one of the most popular games of all time, if I'm being honest. Well,

The game went viral. And I will say, for those that don't know or care about the video game, don't worry. I will make sure to put this in terms that are not so esoteric. You don't got to be a gamer to get it. Let me just say, they released this game and a scene from the game goes viral. It shows a woman misgendering a deity of some sort and then pulling a bob where she's like, I better start doing push-ups because I accidentally misgendered someone. And well, I got news. The game failed.

EA CEO admits BioWare's Dragon Age The Veil Guard failed because, quote, it did not resonate with a broad enough audience in this highly competitive market. Let me let me try. Let me try something for you. It's called this gender stuff panders to like one percent of people. And you know what? You know who buys games like Dragon Age? Me. You lunatics. And did I buy Dragon Age? No. No.

I played Inquisition and I loved that game. It's fun. And then when they released the new Dragon Age and I was like, oh, boy, I'm excited. A new Dragon Age video game. I'd like to play it. And then I saw that pulling a bar of gender garbage where it's like, I misgendered a deity. I'm going to pull above like that. I just I said, no, no. Look, man, I've long said you want to make weird garbage. Go ahead. Do it with my blessing. I will buy it.

You do you. You be you. Have fun, everybody. I won't buy it. I didn't buy Battlefield 1. This is not changing anytime soon. If you want to make an expensive game and you put that garbage in it, fine. I don't care. I won't play it. I won't buy it. And guess what? Nobody did. Or at least not enough people did. Bounding into comics has the report saying...

In continuing to publicly cop to the failure of BioWare's latest release, EA CEO Andrew Wilson has admitted to investors that the failure of Dragon Age The Veil Guard was primarily motivated by the fact that the heavy-handed RPG did not resonate with a financially profitable amount of players. Maybe it's because you made it weird woke garbage? Perhaps.

Wilson offered this post-mortem reflection. Opening the meeting with a brief summary of the company's less than stellar performance in the relevant quarter, Wilson bluntly confirmed to investors that quarter three was not the financial performance we wanted or expected.

Proceeding to note how great titles, even when built and delivered with polished execution, can sometimes miss our financial expectations. The CEO then explained to his audience that in order to break out beyond the core audience, games need to directly connect to the evolving demand of players who increasingly seek shared world features and deeper engagement alongside high quality narratives in this beloved category.

To this end, he then affirmed that while Dragon Age had a high quality launch and was well reviewed by critics and those who played, the Bioware RPG ultimately did not resonate with a broad enough audience in this highly competitive market. I'm going to go ahead and tell you because of this. Here's from Game Rant. Dragon Age creator addresses Veil Guard's woke criticism. OK, here I am. But a humbling, bumbling internet complaining guy.

And I like to play video games. I play a little bit of... I used to play Overwatch a lot. I don't anymore. Man, I can't believe it's been 10 years. But I do play... I played a little bit of Marvel Rivals. And I don't play all that often. Not really that much. And, you know, I'm always looking for a good video game to play. I played Baldur's Gate Ad Nauseam. Man, I beat that game probably 100 times. I love Baldur's Gate 3. That was a great game. And kind of, you know, some woke elements to it, but...

Not all that bad. It wasn't like in the story they say things like, you know, my pronouns or whatever. Not like Dragon Age. When the criticisms arose and people were saying the pulling a bar of stuff was offensive, stupid, psychotic, annoying, etc. This is how they responded. The criticism of Dragon Age, the Veil Guard becoming woke is uninformed. Series creator creator David Gator had suggested that.

All the while labeling those who propagated as tourists. His rebuttal is just the latest development in the culture wars that have recently encompassed the upcoming Dragon Age game. I remember, I think it was Battlefield 1. They were like, hey, if you don't like that in World War 1, we have a character who is a pink hair shaved, you know, side of her head shaved, pink hair amputee woman, then don't buy the game. And then guess what happened? Yeah, nobody bought the game and they lost money. So here you go.

Multiple popular online boards, including the Veil Guard Stream Discussion Forum, have lately been flooded with criticism about the fourth entry in the long-running franchise being woke. Some of the posters contributing to this wave of complaints seem to have taken issue with the companions being canonically pansexual, arguing that this attempt at offering diverse romance options robs them of personality. Others appear to be irked by the game's diverse cast of characters for various stated reasons. I'm going to pause you right there.

An inquisition. So here's why these games are like pansexual or whatever you want to call it. They don't develop the games to have singular. So like in the early development of games, it was actually just that they didn't have the technical expertise to create limited romance encounters. Like it was just very simple that your character could choose romance option. That was it.

And so a lot of people were saying, like, the original intention wasn't to make it so that all the characters were gay. It was that they just didn't have a distinction. Any character could be romanced. It was not political. It was just more, I don't know, laziness and technical limitations. So eventually what happens is they make this game, you know, I'll cite Inquisition.

You can make your character whatever you want, and then your character can romance whoever you want. And so all the characters are basically gay or whatever. Or I think it's like you choose one of the characters and you can romance whoever you want. I mean, that to me is whatever. In Baldur's Gate 3, you can actually, and it's kind of weird, you can make a male, a body type one character. I know it's cringe. And then body type one is male, but you can, you know, female parts. And a female voice. It is actually really funny. I've screwed around with it quite a bit.

And I've made like this super rip dude. Just because it's hilarious. And I'm like, it's cringe, but it's not part of the story. That's it. You know, there is a pronouns thing, which is funny in Baldur's Gate where you can actually change your pronouns and it's kind of cringe, but it's not in the story. That means I can play the game. I can fight goblins or whatever. And the guy turns into a bear. And at no point does the bear go, you must understand that in bear form, I go by he, her, hers.

In this game, they literally did it. You show me that I don't want to play it. So it's funny. Dragon Age series creator David Gator has recently opted to respond to these complaints. Remarkably, the usual suspects are upset how woke their new Dragon Age is. And apparently sudden and unexpected development in the series. Following up with that train of thought, the industry veteran called the people who spread the sentiment effing tourists.

The label was meant to imply these critics are falsely presenting themselves as fans who would know the series could have been categorized as woke from its very first entry when hit the market. No, nine. I played Inquisition and forgive me if I did not encounter someone dropping and doing pushups because they didn't use the proper pronouns for a God. OK, in a subsequent interaction with a blue sky user. There you go. Gator clarified that he has no issues with people liking or disliking whatever they want. But blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. OK, fine.

Play your stupid games, dude. This is not how you respond to a fan base. You're an effing tourist. Okay, I won't buy it. I'm a tourist. Tourists bring money, bro. Yo, if I play your game passively and casually, I'm giving you money. If you then want to insult me, I won't buy your game. I got no beef. I don't know you, and you don't owe me nothing.

I always say this. You don't owe me any favors. That's fine. But I don't owe you my money. So right now, what are we witnessing? Disney just lost. Let me let me. I think I got this pulled up. Disney loses 700000 subscribers in the last three months of 2024. Bye bye. Get woke. Go broke, dude. You can do what you want. You want to be woke. That's fine. I ain't going to cry about it. I'm just not going to buy your products.

So Disney's bleeding users, Dragon Age has flopped because woke is broke. It's over. People aren't playing those games anymore. There are a lot of people that I think didn't care, but I think people are continually getting fed up by it. They're getting fed up every day. They get bombarded and a person can only tolerate so much. And now with everything we've seen, Democrats are the least popular they've ever been. I mean, it's like they're less popular than during the Civil War. And that's crazy.

And for regular people who want to watch movies, play video games, they're saying to themselves, please, just no more. People thought Trump was the cause of the culture war. He was not. Trump was a symptom of and perhaps the solution to the reality is it was a movement of the people. So everybody thought if Trump just goes away, maybe everything will shut up. And it didn't. Biden got in and it was worse than ever.

So enough. Screw your game. I ain't playing it. Get what go broke, dude. Have a nice day. I'm not going to cry. I'm going to go play Marvel Rivals and I'm not going to think twice.

That game's funny. They make all the women super sexy with big butts and all the guys are thick and ripped. Ain't nobody crying about it. I mean, someone probably somewhere is. A bunch of woke people are complaining that in Marvel Rivals, you can't make your characters cross gender. Like Scarlet Witch should be a guy if I want. What? Scarlet Witch is a character. Get out of here. Anyway, I wrap it up there, my friend. Stay tuned. We got more. We got Tim Castarell coming up.
