Last night's news broke that Tulsi Gabbard had fired over 100 intelligence officials and staffers who were engaged in a secret adult chat room utilizing government infrastructure that was set up to discuss sensitive security issues. Now, I titled this show Tulsi Fired 100 Deep State Pervs. Trump cleans house. I want to give a quick shout out in the chat to Buck, who said, is it sexist to say a woman is cleaning house?
Well, I mean, it's Trump's. OK. All right. It was a funny joke. But it's not just Tulsi firing his intelligence officials. Donald Trump across the board is cleaning house of the corruption of the bureaucratic state and their allies in various institutions. So it is, in fact, Trump that is cleaning house. And no, it's funny, but not sex to say that Tulsi Gabbard is also cleaning house as director of national intelligence.
The story, my friends, isn't just about this secret sex chat, although it is salacious. Donald Trump has just revoked security clearances for a law firm that is working with Jack Smith. Now, this is absolutely for those that don't know. Jack Smith, special prosecutor targeting Donald Trump. Trump said that law firm that represents him take their clearance away. And it seems retaliatory. They're coming out being like, well, I mean, we're just representing this guy in his personal capacity. I mean, we have nothing to do with this. Trump's like,
Security clearance is at my discretion and you have no rights to this privilege. The same thing is true for the White House Correspondents Association, which is losing their minds that the Trump administration has said no longer will the White House Correspondents Association determine who is allowed to comment and ask questions. Jack Posobiec pointed this out. They made one reporter from OAN stand in the back of the room
Wouldn't let her speak most of the time. She couldn't sit in a chair despite the chairs were open. It is, as they describe, a cartel in the media to keep out anyone who would try and ask real questions. So the Biden administration largely gets to do whatever they want without without any pushback, save, I don't know, Peter Doocy. And then when it comes to anything related to Trump, the entirety of the press can go after him.
Until they all collectively decided we agree with Joe Biden's cognitive decline. It was one big lie, wasn't it? So this move made by Gabbard may be the most salacious considering I just stress this to you guys. Federal intelligence officials were operating kink themed chats on government infrastructure yesterday.
You would get fired so fast at any company. Have you done this? Had you done this? You would never work in that industry again. I mean, seriously, imagine you're at work and you work for, I don't know, an accounting firm. And you are using the corporate chat to talk with other employees about deviant sexual behaviors, right?
I want to stress this to you guys, because, you know, I often say we try to do a family friendly show. And what does that mean? It means they may be sensitive topics related to news and culture, but we'll use innuendo or, you know, specific language so that kids are none the wiser unless they're smart enough to know what none the wiser means. And they're saying, what's he hiding from me? But, you know, it's like when you spell a word out knowing your kid can't spell. Right. Let me just say this. That being said, I don't even want to repeat this.
On an uncensored podcast, some of the things these people were chatting, they were talking about doing things to their bodies, which I believe should result in a 5150. What is that? Involuntary commission to a hospital in what they call it, detainment on a mental issue.
Fifty one fifty is when the police show up and say you are a threat to yourself and others. And we are going for your own safety and other people's safety. We're going to be holding you for a few days. The things in this chat, we were talking about gratification through self-harm that could result in death. And this is on government servers. It is insane, insane. Tulsi Gabbard fired them all and stripped them of their clearances. The question I have, how did we get to a point?
Where you have people who are clearly suffering from serious psychotic episodes. I am not trying to insult people here. Hear me, YouTube.
I am not disparaging individuals who are otherly abled. I am outright saying these people in these chats were showing clear signs of severe psychotic episodes and mental illnesses in these chats to the point where they were gratifying themselves through acts of self-harm that I won't repeat. It is crazy to me that they
stayed and remained in government. Now, some have suggested it's because of DEI, because if these people were ever challenged on these ideas, they'd say it's because they're LGBTQ plus. But if that's the argument, I say make the argument. The problem is it goes beyond, my friends, just this notion of whether we agree a court agrees with the law is.
It goes into the greater idea of the hyper polarization in this country. And that is if in a D.C. court you said, for the love of all that is holy, look what this person is talking about doing to themselves. The judge there would be like, I agree with the left. Why do you hate gay people? And you'd be like, that action could kill them. They could die from doing that. And the judge is going to say that is LGBTQIA plus culture.
And they'd throw the case out and the person wouldn't get fired. And the person trying to fire him would get in trouble. That's what would likely happen in a D.C. liberal court. Well, now things are changing. Certainly individuals are trying to sue to keep their jobs. But I hope that Tulsi, Cash, Dan, whoever, Pam Bondi, even RFK Jr., you see even an inkling of this kind of discussion or behavior. You fire immediately.
And then they can cry to their unions. I saw one video purportedly of an IRS agent nearly in tears saying he just wants his job back. A fire them all. It's remarkable to me these government employees think they're entitled to be immune from market forces. And the market forces of federal jobs is the election. The people have spoken. They have said, Donald Trump, please take care of business. And now these people are saying I should never be fired for any reason.
Sorry, the people have spoken. And here's where we are. Let's talk about the news. We got a lot to break down and how Donald Trump is handling this. This is man. These are crazy stories. Before we get started, head over to cast brew dot com and buy coffee. Look at Alex Stein. He is so excited, screaming for cast brew.
He he's got his two times two times caffeine, Alex Stein's primetime grind and drink responsibly. That caffeine is no joke. We got Phil Labonte's two weeks till Christmas, despite the fact that it's now three months, two months since Christmas. But it is Phil dressed like Santa and he is enjoying himself some gingerbread coffee. Unfortunately for everybody, Ian's graphene dream is currently sold out because this dude has hit the nail on the head with the hammer and
Ian said he wanted a low acidity coffee and we worked with them on creating a blend that people say is not only delicious, but easier on their stomachs. And well, you're putting me in through college. The next batch will be in stock in about four or five days. So we'll return in the meantime. I recommend Appalachian Nights, my personal favorite coffee, the best coffee I've ever had. It's easy for me to say I blended it.
So literally, we got a variety. Look, my family had a coffee shop when I was little. I've been around coffee my whole life. And so I know the kind of coffee that I like. It's a dark roast. I said it's top secret. But I said, here are the blends. Here are the here are the roasts that I like. And here are the origins that I like. We brought them in and I built a flavor profile, made Appalachian Nights. And I got to be honest, I didn't think it was going to be sell so well.
But it is our all-time number one seller. Ian's Graphene Dream is new, and it's currently taking over, and it will soon take over as number one. But I actually thought Rise with Roberto Jr. was going to be our top blend, because Appalachian Nights was just like, you know, I put it together, it's what I liked, and bang, selling like hotcakes.

I'm excited for the cash refranchising, but that's another story that's being worked on. It's actively developing. Things are going swimmingly. It does take a long time, but it is advancing pretty well. Let's grab the news from The New York Times.
Gabbard says more than 100 intelligence officers fired for chat messages. Well, my friends, we have the video here. The news broke on Jesse Waters' show. Here's the clip. And corruption. Oh, I'm sorry. Here's the clip. Jesse, what we're going to do has already been done.
There are over 100 people from across the intelligence community that contributed to and participated in this, what is really just an egregious violation of trust. What to speak of like basic rules and standards around professionalism. I put out a directive today that they all will be terminated and their security clearances will be revoked.
But the thing here, Jesse, is we've got to take a step back because this is just barely scratching the surface. When you see what these people were saying, and thanks to Chris Ruffo for putting it all out online, they were brazen in using an NSA platform intended for professional use to conduct this kind of really, really horrific behavior. And they were brazen in doing this because they
When was the last time anyone was really held accountable? Certainly not over the last four years, certainly not over the last 10, maybe 20 years. And we look at some of the biggest violations of the American people's trust in the intelligence community. So today's action in holding these individuals accountable is just the beginning of what we're seeing across the Trump administration, which is carrying out the mandate the American people gave him. Yes.
clean house, root out that rot and corruption and weaponization and politicization.
So we can start to rebuild that trust in these institutions that are charged with an important mission of serving the American people, ensuring our safety, security and freedom. Amazing. And I'll give a shout out to Buck Naked, who chatted right when the show started. Is it sexist to say a woman is cleaning house? As Tulsi points out, Trump was given the mandate and she is helping Trump to clean house. And I absolutely love this.
Over 100 intelligence officials involved in the deep state sex chat have their security clearances revoked and they've been terminated. They have been terminated, fired. Let's go. Let's see how the New York Times frames this. I'm sure they're going to be like, these poor individuals were just expressing their love. Tulsi Gabbard, director of the National Intelligence said on Tuesday, I love that line. Can I just pause real quick? Tulsi Gabbard, comma, the director of National Intelligence, comma.
For those of you don't know, I donated the max to Tulsi Gabbard in 2020. I am a huge fan. She serves in the military. She is fairly moderate. I believe it's what the Democratic Party needed to survive and stay sane. And they ousted her and treated her like garbage because they're nuts. And I said, Trump needs to pick up Tulsi. She is a moderate. A lot of Republicans like her. She will get you those votes. Trump brought her in. He put her in the best possible position. I love it.
You know, man, you come to me and you're like, how could you have voted for Trump? And I'm like, well, I wanted Tulsi Gabbard to be president because her anti-war position is largely she is a moderate Democrat. I don't agree with her on everything, but I lean a little bit more liberal. And I was hoping she'd save the Democratic Party and moderate them. Well, then Donald Trump said he was going to give Tulsi Gabbard a position. And I was like, OK, I think Trump did a bang up job his first time around. Not perfect, but it was pretty good. It was a net positive this time around. Talk about a great first month, Mr. President. Yeah.
And then he brings on RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard. You know, Rubio, I'm kind of like, I don't know, whatever. If Rubio is going to follow Trump's lead, I'm fine with it. Not the biggest Rubio fan, but he's all right, I guess. He's been doing okay. Pete Hegseth, I was unsure of. Hegseth has been doing an incredible job. I'm a big fan watching this guy work with the troops and treat them like real human beings. That's what we need to see. Then Kash Patel. Oh, bro. When they were like Kash Patel, director of the FBI, he's
We were cheering. And then out of nowhere, Dan Bongino. Oh, man. Talk about, you know, I said this the other day as a joke before IRL started. I was like, you know, guys, I've been thinking about this. I was wondering if maybe last month I got into a serious car accident and I didn't make it because I don't understand how things could be so good. Maybe I went to the good place. This has been an amazing month. But we got to remember, as amazing as things have been, you got to remain vigilant.
They say the chat program was administered by the National Security Agency and intended for discussions of sensitive security matters. But a group of employees used it for discussions that contained sexual themes. That's an understatement. Intelligence officials said last week, this week, the chats also included explicit discussions of gender transition surgery. Officials said, I'm going to stress this and just the things that were being said could result in death.
They were they were talking about they got gratification from these actions. And I think that is horrifying. Transcripts of the chat were first disclosed Monday by Christopher Rufo, a conservative activist who writes for City Journal. Not a journalist, though. Not a journalist, huh? He writes for a journal. He published a major story, but he's an activist. Yeah, right. New York Times appearing Tuesday evening on Fox News. Miss Gabbard said she had issued a directive to fire more than 100 people who participated in the discussions and to strip the officers of their security clearances.
She said the chats were an egregious violation of trust that violated basic rules and standards of workplace professionalism. Spokesman for the office said on X that Ms. Gabbard had sent a memo to all intel agencies asking them to identify all employees who had participated in sexually explicit chat rooms on the NSA tool by Friday. Ms. Gabbard put her actions in the larger context of her efforts to depoliticize the intelligence community and the Trump administration's effort to hold employees accountable. The CIA said,
And Ms. Gabbard's office have moved to fire an undisclosed number of employees who worked on diversity issues during the Biden administration. That action was paused by a federal judge who was reviewing that action and was expected to make a ruling on Thursday. You know, it's you know, it's fascinating. A judge barred the termination of these DEI programs. It's nuts. Diversity, equity, inclusion policies are illegal.
Now, the Democrats come and say, no, no, only sometimes are they illegal. The judges have said there's a way to do it. If your intention is to wait an employee's chance of getting hired on race or identity that violates the 1964 Civil Rights Act, thank you and have a nice day. But they've been doing it, flouting the law, getting away with it. Now, we got to talk about the disparate political worlds that exist.
Liberals don't care. They don't care if it's explicitly illegal. They will make up a reason why it's not. So there we go. You know, the reality is, my friends, and you all know it, conservatives generally know what liberals are thinking, and liberals have no idea what conservatives are thinking. Conservatives tend to think that liberals are misguided or ignorant, and liberals think conservatives are Nazis and evil. So where do you think all this goes?
The New York Times says, unlike with the explicit chats, there is no allegation of wrongdoing by the officers involved in recruiting and diversity efforts. That's actually completely not true. New York Times. If a recruiter was like, we're going to hire people based on race, that's illegal. That's wrongdoing. And they play this game. And, you know, conservatives play it, too. So don't don't don't waste my time.
Just because your boss told you to break the law is not a free pass for breaking the law. And Lord help me if I was in charge of any kind of federal law enforcement. I tell you this, you know, people have said, Tim, would you ever get in government? I take a look at Dan Bongino giving up everything he's built to go work in government as a civil servant.
You know, some people, there's a viral tweet where they're like, Dan Bongino, his estimated salary was $5 million a year. He's giving that all up to go work as a civil servant for a couple hundred grand. Bro, Dan Bongino made way more than that. I don't know his numbers, but I work in the industry, okay? We run a business. I know revenue numbers. Dan, his show is so big. It's so big. Dude's got to be pulling in, what are we looking at? Eight figures? That's a lot, lot to give up. Wealth, fame, status for civil service. But I will tell you this.
If Trump came to me and said, Tim, I want you to go after every law enforcement government employee who was just doing their job and fire them, I'd say, yes, sir. That's the one thing I would do, because it would be the greatest satisfaction of my life to personally perp walk every CBP agent who knew they were trafficking children and
You come to me and say, Tim, you do that job. I will do it in two seconds. I want to personally place handcuffs on every government employee who broke the law and said my boss told me to. And when they whimper and cry, my boss told me to do it. I'll be like, that's fine. And you'll go to jail with your boss. OK, don't cry. You're a scumbag. I'm going to say it again. I say it as many times I can. Dr. Phil, Dr. Phil.
Now, we know this is true because we've been covering the news on the whole border crisis. Thank you, Mr. President, for sending troops down here to stop this once and for all.
I don't think the Trump administration would go as far as me because I would go to each and every CBP agent. I would go to every manager and say, I want a list of every single Border Patrol agent who worked the border under the Biden administration. I want a name of every file for every child that was sent into slavery. And I am going to personally handcuff them and load them into the wagon and bring them to jail.
I will appear at every every court appearance. And I will say this man knew that child was being sold into slavery and prostitution. And he said, my boss told me to do it. And I want to see that person rot for life in prison. You have no idea how you can you can you can presume the anger that I have over this. Now, let me just let these people in the federal government who are recruiting on DEI efforts. OK, not nearly as severe as the CBP stuff. All right. We get that.
But I would, with a smile on my face, say you're fired. And they're like, but my boss made me hire based on race. And I'm like, uh-huh. Yeah, your boss made you break the law. Well, you know, let me tell you a story. There's a young kid who grows up in the Bronx. And this is way back when, when the families are in control. And he joins and he's doing just, you know, errands. He's, you know, he's a gopher.
They say, oh, go pick up the mail. Go pick up this. Go pick up that. And he's getting paid. It's all legit. And then one day they say, hey, we want you to pick something up. Illegal drugs. And the kid goes, you got it, boss. Do you think the cops are like, poor kid? His boss made him do it. You're free to go. They were like, you're a drug smuggler. But, you know, there are so many instances in this world, in this country where there's seemingly legitimate business. I need to make any jokes about the families or anything like that. Seemingly legitimate businesses.
And behind the scenes, they're doing something illegal. How about there's a bodega, a corner store, a little a little grocery mart. And the boss behind the scenes is selling some drugs under the counter. And he tells his employee, hey, look, I got a guy coming by. He's going to pick up a package. I want you to give it to him. You know what it is.
And the employees like, look, man, I just handled the register. I don't I don't I don't do whatever it is you do, man. I just want to ring people up for the for the Pepsi. And he says, you do this for me and I'm or you're fired. And the guy goes, OK, you got a boss. The guy comes in to buy the drugs. The dude hands in the package. Cop walks in and goes, you're under arrest. The clerk goes, no, no, no. Don't worry. My boss made me do it. The cop goes, oh, puts his gun away and says, sorry about that. We'll come back later. Never going to happen.
That's what I can't stand about this. The New York Times saying none of them did anything wrong. Hiring based on race is a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. You want to change the law, you change the law. Fine. We can play that game. But I tell you this. I want to see them all fired, each and every one. And you know what? The New York Times, of course, they're going to defend them. But at least Tulsi Gabbard is firing them anyway. So I will take it. As for those CBP agents, we got CBP out here.
There's a big facility down the road. I see some of these guys sometimes. I've actually had them bump into me and shake my hands and say, hey, we're big fans of the show. And I respect that because these guys aren't the ones on the border facilitating child trafficking. But I hope they all ask themselves, if you were down there and your boss told you to do it, would you? That's a question you better ask yourself, because I'll tell you this story, my friends. I've never been in a situation like that. I've never been confronted with such abhorrent evil. But I can tell you this for a fact.
I would rip my badge off and throw it on the ground and spit on it before I facilitate anything like that. I worked for a nonprofit when Deepwater Horizon happened, the oil spill. And they told us to go out and fundraise off of this disaster. Now, little old naive me, I thought it was great. I was like, man, we got an oil spill. We need to get on top of this stuff, man. Figure out how we can make sure these things don't happen. Clean up efforts. And so I went out with a smile on my face and I waved to people and I said, please donate.
We're a political group. We're trying to build awareness and interest in the government around these issues to make sure they don't happen. The information they gave us on Deepwater Horizon was wrong. It was wrong. And I had a guy get in my face. He's like, you're lying. And I was like, no, I'm telling you what's happened. And he said, no, actually what happened, it was a little different. The amount of oil being spilled was less.
And I said, oh, I'm sorry about that, man. I guess I got my numbers wrong. And he was like, yeah, well, maybe you should stop asking people for money if you're not going to give them the truth about what's going on. And I was like, okay, well, now that I know I'm wrong, I won't. So I appreciate it. They said, okay. So I get my cell phone and it was a candy bar phone at the time because it's 13 years ago. Longer than that, actually, this is 14 years, 15 years ago. And I called the office and I said, hey, the information we have on the information sheets that you gave us are wrong. Can we get the update? Can you correct this? And they said, no.
I was like, OK, well, I'm not going to fundraise to people off of false information. That's like fraud or something. And they said, OK, well, just keep fundraising and keep using the pitch sheet as it was given. We'll fix it later. I said, I'm not doing it. Bye. And so I stopped. I refused. I went back and said.
Don't you dare try to tell me to lie to people or knowingly provide wrong information in exchange for money, because I will report you in two seconds. And they're like, no, no, no, no, it's OK. It's OK. And they corrected the information later. And guess what? Boy, did they exaggerate the numbers. I won't play these games. These people should be in jail.
Breaking the law with smiles on their faces. I don't play that game. Now we do this clip the other night from Timcast IRL. And I think it's interesting. Nick Sorter made this point. I'm not going to play the full clip because obviously if you watch Timcast IRL, you've seen the clip. But an important point about these chats is not just the weird kink perverted behavior. Nick Sorter pointed out they were talking about higher right chick libs of TikTok in these chats. Weird.
He says if they are calling Libs of Tuk-Tuk a terrorist in these chats, were they reading her emails? Were they reading her text messages? If they did, jail. Agreed. Nick was saying it's got to go further. It cannot just be that they're being let go. Oh, man. Here's how the Washington Times framed it. National security employees engaged in transgender sex chat room while at work. Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye.
You wonder why so many parents were being called terrorists in Loudoun County, particularly because they were upset at the abuse their children were going through. It's because at the NSA, at the highest levels, these psychotic, mentally unwell individuals were running the show and propagating this stuff to schools through the use of force. And it's about time we cleaned it up. Now, let me just say.
When I say mentally ill, understand YouTube. I'm talking about in these chats. There were people talking about self-harm for pleasure. That is not normal. That is mentally unwell. There is there are terms for this in the DSM five. We are not talking about a little old LGBTQ individual who is trying to live their life. We're talking about people who are advocating for and glorifying self-harm for pleasure. OK, that could kill people. That is not OK. OK.
And these people wanted to propagate their fringe psychotic views to the rest of the world and to our children. And law enforcement was weaponized against any parent who resisted. No more.
Now, outside of this, of course, Donald Trump is cleaning house in much the best way. This is my favorite element of the cleaning house story. So please gather around, children, and join me in this beautiful tale of how Trump gutted the White House Correspondents Association and ripped their cartel to shreds. To shreds, I say. Trump admin guts White House Correspondents Association in bid to end a monopoly of D.C. journalists.
The White House Correspondents Association has determined access to the White House for decades. I got to make sure I'd be remissed if I didn't pull up this tweet from Jack Posobiec, where he points out just how egregious. Why isn't when what is going on? Google, they're not giving me Jack's ex account. There we go. That was weird.
Let's see. I want to pull this image. So bear with me for one second where he shows you just how how despicable the White House Correspondents Association really is. There's a lot going on that Jack's been tweeting about. That's for sure. And this one's from the other day. So let me was one. Let's go. Let's go. He's talking about Romania. That's big news, of course. Here we go. We got it. We got it. Here it is. This is Chanel Rionne.
In 2020, being forced to stand in back of the room by the White House Correspondents Association while you can see seats are clearly available. I don't really know what else to say. This is just completely indefensible behavior towards her and always was. They have never even apologized. They made her stand in the back. She's with a news outlet on cable television and they taking pictures of her. She's the story because she's outside of them. She can't even sit in the empty chairs.
Y'all need to understand how evil these people are, how deeply, deeply evil they are. They view themselves as a mafia. I'm not exaggerating. There are these people who want to be a part of and we can call the mafia in terms of any clique insider group. They feel like once I get in to that clique, to that cult, to that mafia, I will wield the power to Nick's order was telling us a story.
where he was in the Capitol or whatever, walking around. And someone yelled at him that he wasn't allowed to be there without credentials. And he thought it was somebody who actually worked for the government, but turns out it was a journalist. And he was like, what? Yep. They're like, this is our turf. Ours. You can't be here. These people need to be fired. And Trump is doing just that.
White House Press Secretary Carolyn Leavitt says the White House press team will now determine the rotations and which outlets get access, upending decades of White House Correspondents Association supremacy. Leavitt clarified that legacy media outlets that have been prominent within the WHCA will still have a presence at briefings and that the five major television networks will still be relied on to broadcast White House events. Quote,
I am proud to announce that we are going to give the power back to the people who read your papers, who watch your television shows and listen to your radio stations. Moving forward, the White House press pool will be determined by the White House press team. Legacy outlets who have participated in the press pool for decades will still be allowed to join. Fear not.
but we will also be offering the privilege to well-deserving outlets who have never been allowed to share in this awesome responsibility. Libby Emmons of the Postmillennial has her press pass for the White House. I have applied personally as well. Still waiting to hear back. Yeah, it is what it is. I'm not going to, you know, be too pushy, but a lot of people want us, me especially. I mean, look, if I did go, it would be like
once every few months, so I'm not really going to cry about it. But despite the fact that many people don't like that, Elad Eliyahu is a communist. Elad, Elad, he does ask great questions in a dispassionate way that is indicative of good journalism. And I hope you give him credit for that. On Timcast IRL, Elad called for a wealth tax on billionaires to seize unrealized gains from
I don't think he quite understands tax law or income or corporate law or anything like that, but he did. And we argued with him and bless his heart. All that being said, as much as we deeply disagree with his stance on war and taxation, he'd probably get along with Hillary Clinton. When it comes to asking questions, he does so in a very straightforward, dispassionate way that is very useful to the average person. So I respect that.
The announcement comes just days after the Association Press, the Associated Press sued the Trump White House for denying the outlet access to the briefing room, Air Force One and other exclusive areas. Can I just pause real quick and tell you how psychotic these people are? Could you imagine if during the Biden administration, Tim Kast filed a federal lawsuit against the Democrat, the Biden administration, because he wouldn't let me on Air Force One? You'd be like the Democrats would be like, what does Tim Pool think he deserves to be on Air Force One?
I'm a journalist. I know they like to say I'm not, but cry more. I'm a more prominent journalist than any one of those people. Yeah, I am. And there's no difference. The idea that the AP should have unfettered access to Donald Trump's office whenever he wants is insane. It started with the Oval Office. Trump said, we're going to some signings. Why don't we invite the press in? Not you, AP, because the AP wouldn't use the phrase Gulf of America.
for which the Gulf of America is named. Strange, they wouldn't call it that. And they said, you can't tell us what to report. I'm not. I'm just telling you, you're not allowed in. They said, we'll sue you. And he's like, you're going to sue me? So I have to let you in my house, my office? Get out of here. No, they lost.
But think about the oh, man, the choice of words, the avarice, the arrogance, the greed and gluttony and wrath all just balled up into one for these people to be like, we have a right to be in the Oval Office. You don't. Donald Trump chooses to let people in. I don't recall Joe Biden letting people in all that often or answering very many questions.
Heavens me, these people are beyond arrogant. So I always got to make sure I highlight what the free press really is. And to be fair, the free press dot net, you know, it's just some nonprofit. But here's the free press dot net in 2019 calling for the banning of Alex Jones. These people are hypocrites, cultists, ideologues and mafiosos.
They're a cartel. The media is their tool and no one be allowed to enter. And when Alex Jones was prominent and massive with hundreds of millions of views per month, they colluded to destroy him. Now, let's let's jump back into the deep state story that I covered the other day. But I definitely want to get into now. And there's more to it than just this. But I want to make sure I highlight the story from a couple days ago. CNN actually ran a story that said CIA agents.
are going to sell state secrets to foreign adversaries because Trump fired them. Let me just stress this for you again. We've got Tulsi Gabbard. We've got, you know, Dan and Cash, Pam Bondi, these individuals overseeing their respective departments, and they're trying to get rid of corrupt influence. CNN then says in an article.
They warn that intelligence employees who get the ax are valuable and that those same employees will sell national secrets if fired. They're not like other students, so we're not like other schools. Fusion Academy is the school that changes everything, changes their class size to one designed around their learning differences.
Changes their curriculum to fit their interests. Changes what school and their future can look like. But the biggest change you'll see is in them. Fusion Academy, now enrolling grades 6 through 12. Find a campus near you at FusionAcademy.com. Oh, it says, well, which one's true? This is a crazy story that justifies everything Trump is doing.
They say CNN wrote how how Trump's government cutting moves risk exposing CIA secrets. Isn't it fascinating how they play this game? How Trump's government cutting moves risk exposing the CIA. Well, it sounds like what they're saying is by cutting the budgets of the CIA or otherwise, security will be lax and information pertaining to our secrets could leak out due to a failure of proper administration. The reality is what they're saying is.
CIA employees are untrustworthy spies who will steal U.S. secrets and sell them for profit. OK, they should be fired immediately. You know what you do? Here's the trick. Everybody knows this. When you're firing an employee, you deactivate all of their stuff abruptly and without informing them.
You boot them out of every chat room, every email server, access to all social media, and then you let them go. Why? Because if they retain access— Well, Jesse, what we're going to do has already been done. See, I don't know why Twitter just autoplayed. That's kind of weird. But anyway, if you let someone retain access to every system and then you fire them,
They're going to download every system and they're going to screw you over because people are evil. Not everybody. I'm saying there are people that are evil. I do want to stress, my friends, you know, what's fascinating is I think a lot of people don't understand the true depth of human depravity. There are many people who do, but I do believe that most people don't.
I think there are a lot of evil people out there that are totally malicious. I believe they align themselves more typically with the Democratic Party, largely because the Republican is a loose affiliation of disparate ideologies. Like, look, I'm post-liberal-ish. You know, I don't completely—I'm not a Christian. Don't follow doctrine or anything like that. But I can have conversations with Christians and try and understand their views on things and, you know, whatever.
These disparate ideologies came together for truth and accountability. Though we disagree on many core issues, much to we may offend each other, we still recognize there's important things to work together on. The left, you've got people just lie every day for literally no reason other than to gain power. And it works among stupid people. This is the terrifying reality I think people need to really understand. You know, when you, they say, as the saying goes, when you find success, everybody comes out of the woodwork. When you come into wealth and money, and I can't tell you,
How much I've experienced. Now, when you have a lot of followers, when you're prominent, you have a big show, everybody's staring at you. So it's like the saying out of sight, out of mind. Well, the inverse is true as well. All of a sudden, people I hadn't talked to in 20 years were asking me for money.
And I'm just like, it's a weird thing because they don't know how much money I have. They don't even know if I have money. They assume it's true because I'm famous. And then I get a message from someone I talked to in 15 years. And we were never great friends to begin with, acting like we were the best of friends and all the great times we spent together. And I'm like, bro, you were like my friend's friend. We hung out sometimes. And then when I don't respond, they attack me. How dare you? Look what you've become. Who are you? I thought I knew you. And I'm like, bro, I barely knew you.
So much of that. Worse, I've had people, there's one dude I knew I was a great friend with, lived with him briefly. We hung out together all the time, went online and started making up lies about me for clout. And I'm like, this is so weird, bro. We were like best friends for a handful of years, you know, and then you drift apart, whatever. Never had any beef, like straight up hung out all day, every day, skateboarding, you know, like my go-to best friend.
Goes online and just starts lying about me for clout. This evil really exists. And the reason I bring this up, and I'll stress this too, for the average person, there's a lot of guys out there who totally get it with getting divorced. There's a lot of women out there who totally get it with their deadbeat dads abandoning them, going for some scratchers and never coming back and leaving their kids behind. That kind of stuff you see and you get. A lot of people understand. Backstabbers are out there. When you experience it, it really is shocking.
Now, the reason I bring it up is not to say, oh, woe is me. Bad things happen. No, no, no, no, no. You can. Who cares? I don't care. Bad things happen. A lot of people. I'm a man. I can take it. I'm saying think about all those scenarios. And now think about the people who are at the CIA who need to be fired. The guy who's sitting there thinking like stupid Donald Trump, I'll show him. And then they sell secrets because they're evil. They're evil people. How about this? How many intelligence officials are going to leak private details to
of stolen information on prominent individuals to liberals and leftists to sow chaos and destroy people. Because I warn you, that's coming. They're going to release private information. This is the emails they've hacked or stolen or they fabricated to try and discredit and harm people. AI videos, relatively silly right now, but what happens when they become indistinguishable from the real thing? What happens when audio comes out and it purports that Dan Bongino said something untoward?
How can we believe it? And there, things will break down. That Tucker Ray Dalio interview was really interesting because he was mentioning like with AI and all this stuff, you're either going to have total anarchy or total authoritarian control. I don't know how we can exist in a system like this. What I can say is abject evil exists. Boy, I didn't believe it. When I was younger, I thought there was no good and evil, only intentions and degrees of...
My view is like, everybody's just trying to improve the lives of their friends, their family, themselves. They're out for their worldview, the world they see, and they want to improve it. And I don't think they're necessarily evil. They're just trying to come up as it were. And that's kind of true, but evil exists. And there have been circumstances where I've seen people engage in actions that are abject evil for seemingly no reason, just to cause suffering and pain, and they gloat and laugh about it. And when I see that,
And then you take a look at these stories about like, hey, they're going to start selling state secrets. I'm like, yeah, they are. Yeah, they are. And Tulsi has got to get on top of that. That's I imagine that maybe this most stressful thing for her right now is when she's entering in as DNI. She knows these evil individuals are already turning the gears to sabotage and destroy and harm this nation and its people.
And how do you get in and track them down? It's like that cartoon where they're in the boat and the hole pops and they put their finger in it and they put their finger in it here and they put their toe in it. It's not going to be easy. That's why we got a clean house, because you can't just sit by and let it happen. Now, Donald Trump, this one's beautiful. And I know the Democrats are going to whinge about it, but I'm happy. Trump signs executive action targeting law firm representing former special counsel Jack Smith.
The law firm says it's representing Smith in his personal capacity. The Democrats say this is retaliatory. I say, and I don't care. Trump signed an executive action on Tuesday targeting a prominent law firm that represents former special counsel Jack Smith. The memo strips Smith's attorneys of his security clearance, as well as any other attorneys at the firm who assisted Smith while he was investigating Trump.
Covington and Burling LLP said is representing Smith in a personal capacity. And a person familiar with the matter said there's no evidence the law firm played any part in Smith's criminal investigations of Trump. The memo Trump signed Tuesday, a major escalation in Trump's targeting of those he believes to be his political enemies, also directs the Office of Management and Budget to review any government contracts held by the law firm. There should be no person who, for political reasons, targeted Donald Trump
No person with access to a clear security clearance or top secret or confidential information. These people during the Biden administration use the power of government to try and stop Trump from winning. And if they get access to the inner workings of national security secrets will sabotage this nation to try and harm Donald Trump and his administration guaranteed. Trump has no choice but to make sure these people are removed from this access.
Now, again, the Democrats will cry and say that it is retaliatory. It's a law firm. Why is it going after lawyers? I don't care. Joe Biden and Democrats in Georgia and in Minnesota targeted Trump's lawyers. They tried to put his lawyers in prison. OK, Trump is simply saying, if you're representing this guy who did these hyper politicized things, you cannot have access to privy government information.
Because they're going to use it against this country and they're going to use it to his benefit. So no. Quote, one law firm that provided pro bono legal services to the special counsel's office under Jack Smith's leadership was Covington and Burlington. Will Schorf said about a memo that Trump signed. As a result of those actions, we're now going to be suspending and putting under review the security clearances for the attorneys and employees at the firm who worked for Jack Smith's team. And we're going to continue holding the people who are responsible for the weaponization of government who supported accountable for what they did.
Reporter asked Trump whether the action to strip the attorney's security clearance amounted to political targeting. Trump got the reporter off and said that he was the target. I've been targeted for four years longer than that. So you don't tell me about targeting. I was the target of corrupt politicians for four years and then four years after that. So don't talk to me about targeting.
A person familiar with Covington's representation of Jack Smith's responded to Trump's action, saying there's no evidence the firm itself played any role in special counsel Smith's investigation of Trump and no evidence the representation of Smith had anything to do with his official duties. Separately, Covington is not a contractor to the federal government. Anybody who's there who has clearances for any reason should have it revoked. This is not a question of whether Trump should be vindictive. It's a question of Jack Smith is corrupt, corrupt.
And if his lawyers have access to government information, they can use that to aid and abet a corrupt individual for the removal of all conflicts of interest in the representation of this man. They should not have access. They should not have security clearance. That information. Sorry, they can easily represent Jack Smith in whatever capacity. And if they choose to, that's what's going to happen. Security clearance is not a right. It is a privilege. And the president determines who and when someone gets access. I have no problem with this.
The spokesperson for the firm added they recently agreed to represent Smith in an individual capacity and look forward to defending him. For more than 100 years, Covington has represented clients facing government investigations consistent with the best traditions of the legal profession. We recently agreed to represent Jack Smith. When he became a parent, he would become a subject of a government investigation. Covington serves as defense counsel to Jack Smith at his personal individual capacity. We look forward to defending Mr. Smith's interests and appreciate the trust he has placed in us to do so.
Did it all occur to any of these people that if individuals in that law firm have access to privy to information, it may relate to Jack Smith's case? And so they're removing a conflict of interest by severing this connection. A special counsel, Smith, led probes into both Trump's handling of classified material and his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Both cases were dropped following Trump's reelection in November due to a longstanding DOJ policy prohibiting the prosecution of a sitting president.
It is really fascinating, my friends. There's more than just this story. There are many stories. James O'Keefe, he was being investigated over the Ashley Biden diary. Gone, just dropped. There were very many. There were very many investigations that were explicitly political. And as soon as Trump got in, they evaporated. Now, why is that? Why did they just determine that all of a sudden we're not going to go after James James O'Keefe? The reality is James never did anything wrong.
You'll never convince me he did. Why? Because James is a crack team of lawyers who advise him on what he can or can't do. So for one, this proves outright there is never any motivation or intent to break the law. James O'Keefe consults with legal teams, more than one, to make sure he's doing everything correctly and by the book.
And if at any point something happened that could be construed as a crime, the simple answer is it was a legitimate error. And then we we navigate that probably in a civil manner, should it be the case. In the instance of Ashley Biden's diary, James O'Keefe tried handing it over. He says, we don't want to have any part in this. And they went after him over it. It was retaliatory, targeting a journalist. And then, of course, when Trump gets in, it's by the book. It's a fake investigation done. Oh, boy. There are many others.
Here we go. Things are starting to heat up, my friends. It's a lot of news. Now, I was originally thinking about leading the morning show with this story. FBI investigating claims of Comey era honeypot operation against Trump 2016 campaign. You know, this is wild. Comey, the FBI, federal government had honeypot individuals embedded in the Trump campaign. So claims a whistleblower, Kash Patel.
They have begun. I can't wait for Dan Bongino to get in. Digging into 2016, 17, 18. Oh, boy. We know the Russiagate hoax. How is a lie? The Ukraine hoax, the impeachment hoax, all of these hoaxes. And they used federal law enforcement to frame Donald Trump as a traitor to his nation. Now the gloves are off. In Trump's first term, he played ball. It was a mistake, but we liked him. We liked him.
I was not a big Trump supporter for the most of his first term. I was like, it's fine. It's whatever. I mean, I don't know. You know, he fired Tomahawk missiles into Syria. I said, it's not a good thing. I kept saying, stop making me defend the man. He did not do the things Democrats are claiming he's doing. It was so weird because they really could have beaten Trump if they just stopped the histrionics.
And then I was a big fan of Andrew Yang at the time. He's he's fallen off. These people are so desperate. It's so pathetic. OK, let me tell you what honor is. Honor is me saying I think in 2020 Tulsi Gabbard can save the Democratic Party. She has shown honor, integrity. She's in the armed forces. It is respectable. Don't agree with everything she's got planned, but she's been very reasonable on these issues and critical of the war machine.
Honorable is when they throw her under the bus. I maintain my position. I keep saying I'm still a fan of Tulsi Gabbard. And then what do we get? Andrew Yang and Bernie Sanders turncoat. They make all these claims. Bernie Sanders. Talk about a scumbag. Tulsi Gabbard rejected endorsing Hillary Clinton. Instead, Bernie Sanders and they roasted her for it and came after her for it. Bernie couldn't even vote for the man has no honor, no dignity.
See, what I can respect is this individuals in the first or at any point who genuinely were wrong.
Or believed something. And then when proven right said, I was wrong about that. I love to quote Jordan Peterson when he was asked by that, you know, was it Jim Jeffries? He's like, do you think that a business should be able to deny service to people? And he's like, they can deny service however they want. He says, what about black people? And he's like, well, maybe I was wrong about that. It's that simple. No ego. Just, oh, yeah, well, I hadn't considered it.
For me, I like Tulsi. I like RFK Jr. I was liberal leaning, fairly moderate. And when the Democrats betrayed them, I stayed true to myself. The only position I really swung hard on was to a I was very much like, I don't know, whatever. Maybe there's gun control. Had much conversation. That's a good point.
If you want to ban guns, change the Constitution. And now I'm much more – probably the most extreme 2A person there could possibly be, and I'll explain to you exactly how my views changed on that one. When it comes to policy in this country, I'm still very much where I always have been. Yeah. They don't want to admit it, but I even told Sam Seder, I actually think we need more regulations, not regulations like what they're doing with employment. I'm talking about –
Tartrazine, you know, red 40. We should be regulating these chemicals out of our food. I'm for that. That's why I like RFK Jr. So where do I end up? Much in the same boat I've always been saying Trump. He did a decently good job. Net positive. Then he brings on Tulsi and all these other individuals. And I'm like, this is the best I've ever seen. But you get Andrew Yang. You get Bernie Sanders. You get these Democrats who are supposed to be moderate. And then as soon as the cult tells them to to jump, they say, how high?
Me, I said, I ain't jumping for you, you scumbag. I was like, I believe what I believe and I want what I want. And Trump delivered it in spades. He said, did you like Tulsi? We'll bring on Tulsi. And I said, I do. She's fantastic. She's one of the best leaders this country has. RFK Jr., Maha, I'm 100 percent make America healthy again. It's one of my you know, me. We got I got our spin drifts. We don't like the refined sugars, although to be fair.
We did buy a bunch of Pop-Tarts recently, but we're allowed every once in a while. We try to be healthy and exercise. And, you know, we order flour, Allison and I, and it's imported where they don't have glyphosate because we're concerned about these things. I love Maha. Trump looked me in the eyes figuratively. Well, I actually did. I met him twice, interviewed him. And but figuratively, he looked you and me in the eyes and said,
I'm going to compromise with you guys. I'm going to get you what you're asking for. When the Libertarian Party said free Ross Ulbricht, Trump said, OK, I'll do it. And then when he gets elected, they ask him, why'd you pardon Ross Ulbricht? He says, well, I didn't really know much about him, but I promised I'd do it. So I did it. I talk about honor because that was the one sign to me. Trump had no incentive after getting elected to actually follow through.
None. He could have been like, thanks for your vote, libertarians, and they would have grumbled. But he up for election again. But Trump actually cares about Trump has scruples. They try to attack him all day and night and insult him. And what does he do? He says, libertarians, I told you I would do it. You have honored me. I will honor you, man. I look Trump, not the most honorable guy in the world. OK, got a lot of baby mamas. He's a reality TV guy. He's a bit off the cuff.
He doesn't represent great nobility and chivalry, but he's more honorable than I've seen in the White House in so long. And then we get Dan Bongino. Dan Bongino embodies nobility, honor, chivalry. I love it. I love it. This guy is a paladin. He is a warrior because when the time came and he was called to duty, he accepted and he walked away from riches. I get it. Dan's rich. He'll be rich forever.
But you got to understand, man, even when I'm talking earlier in the show about like if they came to me and said, Tim, we want you to oversee all of the government employees who are breaking the law and that's going to be your job. And I'm like, I would do it. The ramifications of that, what it means for my family and my life and the people who work here, it's a scary, scary. The people working are probably now crossing their fingers, hoping no one from government ever comes in and says, Tim, we want you to head up the Department of, you know, like internal terminations or whatever they would call it.
Because I, oh man, I don't want to run for office. I don't want to be anybody's boss. But you tell me I get to go and do reviews of law enforcement who broke the law and weed out corruption with a smile on my face. But Dan Bongino was called to serve. And he said, okay. And he walked away from a lie. He's walking away from a lie. I respect that tremendously. It's very, very difficult to do. But with that, I see honor returning to this nation. And I'm glad to see it.
We got a lot of news coming up later on. I do want to grab your super chats and a couple of your rumble rants. So make sure you buy Cast Brew Coffee. Go to castbrew.com. Hey, you want to open your own coffee shop? We can help with that. If you click that button, franchise up top, we got all the information about what you need to open your own coffee shop with our assistance. I don't want to say too much about it because there's a lot that we offer and a lot we don't. My goal, which is not a guarantee, okay?
What I'd like to do is when a new Casper location opens up, we actually fly out and have Tim cast IRL at the grand opening. And we do the show from the shop and bring in a bunch of locals to come and hang out. I hope we can pull that off. It depends on the legalities and how franchise law and all that stuff works. But that's what we're aiming for. We've got a handful of people at over 100 and now it's way more 100 location requests.
So don't forget to also go to Rumble dot com slash Timcast IRL. Take a look at our playlists. We've got the Green Room podcast with all the behind the scenes conversations. Some are fun, funny. Yesterday's was super chill. If you want to hear me insult lost from and severance like the gist of it is, you know, they make these shows where they're like.
A random nonsense thing happened. Oh, bro, let me tell you. Let me do it right here. I was like, let's do this. Let's end every green with a mystery. And what we'll do is, this is what these shows do. Look at this little bobblehead beanie skateboarding Tim Pool someone made for me. It's really cool. I'll put this on a shelf.
And then when we're wrapping up the green room, we'll play a screeching noise and everyone go, ah, and then look and then we'll look over and a little doll will be moved and it'll be on the railing, bobbling its head with strange music box. And then we'll look at each other and go, it can't be cut to black to be continued.
And then you're like, what happened? Nothing. They literally have no idea what they're writing. They're just like, end the episode with some weird thing happening to confuse everybody. And then the next episode starts and you're like, what was it? I don't know. So I haven't watched, I haven't, to be honest, I couldn't get past the second episode of Severance. I just turned it off. I'm like, sorry, not interested. But From and Lost are that. We talked a lot about that. I don't know, whatever. Let me grab some of your superchats, my friends. We've got a couple more minutes here.
Deplorable pirate Captain Gunbeard says congrats to him on becoming not the mama. Ah, yes, dinosaurs. What a good show. Yeah, it is based. Baby wakes up crying a lot, you know, but it's okay. You just got to make sure the baby's taken care of. And it's very hard to be the mom. So shout out to Allison, who is incredible and does a really great job and is doing a really great job even right now taking care of baby.
and thank you all for the congratulations. It is truly the best experience ever. Y'all have no idea. It's funny. All the people out there who have kids are sitting there smiling because been there, done that. But the other day, I was holding my daughter while watching Fox News, and it was just like the best thing ever. Just nothing better. Nothing. Literally nothing. And if you don't have kids, my advice is just don't wait. Have them sooner rather than later.
I look, I got to tell you, man, all the tropes and movie about like movies about like the baby is crying and things like that. And people are annoyed or whatever. I just the only thing. Look, when when when my daughter's crying and upset, I'm thinking two things. I hope there's nothing super serious and it's just normal crying. Sometimes she just cries. She wants to be held or she's hungry or whatever, maybe. But yeah.
I am the opposite of annoyed by anything. I had someone, someone chatted saying the other day, just wait until she wants that jabbering with like an eye roll or whatever. And I'm like, yeah, no, I'm, I'm, I'm going to enjoy every second of it. Like everything the baby does puts a smile on my face. You know, I'm here for it. Let's grab some more super chats. Way more. The LSS is a reason it's called not safe for work people. Indeed. Indeed. Uh, let's grab some of these rumble rants for you from our friends.
Revel Esto says, when you start building Casper buildings, please look into Bullhead Kingman Lake Havasu area in Arizona. Also, Elon should partner with DMC and make a cyber DeLorean. Well, the way it works is you guys own the business, not us. The brand of Casper, we sell products online. It's a multimillion dollar business at this point. It's incredible. Really, really incredible.
I'm honored and privileged. It is one of the most successful endeavors we have. It's an extremely valuable company. At this point, we sell a lot of product and we make a lot of money there. We've pulled no profits. I take no money from Casper. We are using all of the revenue because we let me phrase it like this. If I woke up with a million dollars and someone said, Tim, a million dollars clean, you can do whatever you want with buy whatever you want. I'd be like, I want a place where people can hang out, get together and build a community. That's the purpose of Casper. So when y'all buy Casper coffee, admittedly,
Well, when you buy Graphene Dream, Ian's getting paid. When you buy Phil's, Phil's getting paid or Alex, because we give royalties to everybody for their likeness for selling the coffee of their brands and their design. Ian came up with the idea for the low acidity coffee. We worked with him on making the blend and it sounds like hotcakes. So he gets a good cut. Good for him. The money the company makes, I don't take. We are not spending money on ad buys. I think we may have done like a little bit at one point just to see. I don't know if we've done yet. We want to do like Google ads and stuff.
I think actually we did. I think we did that commercial with Ian and the chicken and the rooster. But we want all that money to invest in building up this network. So here's what happens. Casper is support network. We handle branding, promotion, marketing, and all these things. But we want with the franchises, you guys to be the owner of these businesses. You make the money, you run the business decentralized. I don't need to be the CEO of a major company where I oversee a thousand corporate locations. Maybe we'll get there, whatever.
But if you guys apply and you want to open your own shop, the costs are all listed. It's heavy. Not everybody can do it.
Jason Swank says the correct answer for Elad is no more income tax instead of flat federal sales tax. Taxing money spent would naturally tax the wealthy more since they spend more money. I wish that were the case, but Elad doesn't understand what wealth is. I'm not exaggerating, nor am I trying to be a dick. He doesn't understand the concept of imaginary wealth. That is this little thing right here, which is really cool. It's got a bobblehead, a little skateboarding. Tim Pool was made by somebody and the total cost of materials may be 50 bucks.
If you put it on the Internet, you could maybe sell it for 60, 70 bucks. Somebody wants wants it to decorate. But this is the official Timcast bobblehead as seen on Timcast IRL. It's got more value now as it is scarce and a collector's item as it as it has appeared on a prominent show. What's it worth? Two thousand dollars. OK, a lot would argue that because someone gave me this by virtue of me being famous, I now owe the government four hundred dollars. That's wealth tax. That's stupid.
And he was like, maybe just, you know, Jeff Bezos. And I'm like, OK, Jeff Bezos, his wealth is tied to his equity stake in Amazon. If he sells pieces of his company, he gets money for it. That's it. He doesn't actually make that much money. I think his total is his salary is 83 or whatever. He is paying taxes on the income he gets. Silly. All right, my friends, we got a little over. So I'll grab one more here.
All right. Hammer says, Tim, please get the word out to Trump to free Matt Hoover. He was tossed in a two way beef over some BS to a BS seer novelty that couldn't even function as a machine gun. Which one was it? The guy who had the metal card they called a machine gun or whatever.
I don't know if I don't know enough about it, but I'll do my best and bring it up when I can. My friends smash the like button right now. Share the show with everyone, you know, say, hey, the Tim Pool morning show Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. is the best show. Everyone agrees. At least that's what I've been told.

So I'm going to our sales guys and I'm like, uh, we need to build a new deck because our views are like almost doubled. We're doing almost 300,000 views on rumble and we're doing almost, and we're doing over 300,000 on YouTube for Tim cast IRL. Isn't that nuts? That's almost double. We were, we, we, we were doing for like Tim cast IRL. Like I think it's like half a million, maybe 600,000 across the board on everything.
It's almost to a million now per episode because we've added rumble to the repertoire. Is that the right word? Wrong word. We've added to our distribution methods. Anyway, I'm going to wrap things up, my friends. We got more segments coming up. Next one will be at noon and then more to come. It's going to be fun. Thank you all so much for hanging out and we will see you all in the next segment.
Swift justice for crazed influencer who filmed herself calling for Elon Musk's murder and boasting about not paying taxes for eight years. Death and taxes, says the Daily Mail. As the story goes, this young woman in an unhinged fashion went on TikTok. I believe it was TikTok. And well, as you've seen, the title called for harm to Elon, called on others to harm him. I'm being light, but you know what she was saying.
And a lot of people were shocked, kind of, to see that the left had gone this route. But she's not the only person who's done something like this. There have been numerous videos emerging of far leftists calling for murder explicitly. And I ain't even talking about the people who are making videos where they put on Luigi hats and then give a wink to the camera, of which there are many.
The escalation of the far left and dare I say, I mean, these are not far leftists. These are run of the mill liberal women calling for death and murder should be alarming to anyone because my friends, we are in a hyper polarized country.
And although we are very happy to see Donald Trump winning, Tulsi Gabbard firing these perverts, suspending, seizing or removing the security clearance, Dan and Cash launching an investigation into Comey. I mean, all this is fantastic, but it does not change the fact that there is a deranged cult that is out there to an extreme degree. Now, it's hard to parse through all of this to figure out
Well, who's really the cult? Because these leftists, these liberals say, no, no, it's the Trump cult. It's the Trump cult. And on the right, we say the liberals are in a cult. Well, I'll tell you why the liberals are in a cult. For one, we rag on Donald Trump all the time, but we largely like what he does. The liberals like to say, well, we didn't like Biden. Listen, listen.
OK, here's the distinction. I don't care if you think one's a cult or not or whatever. I have no problem saying Trump, Charlie Kirk are wrong on TikTok. By the way, they just banned us again. But OK, I disagree with them on court on a core issue. I don't quite understand. I'm mildly perturbed, as it were.
But for the most part, I think Charlie does fantastic work. I think he is moral and he's principled. I think that Donald Trump is doing a great job to gut the bureaucratic corruption in our government. And still, there are deep concerns I have for the actions that may come from a Trump administration. Nobody's perfect on the left. Right now, you've got this video of Jake Tapper. I'll give you an example. Arguing, I believe it was with Kayleigh McEnany that Biden was not in cognitive decline.
Now, look, you ask yourself, how is it that Donald Trump got the popular vote for the first Republicans winning it for the first time in 20 years? It's because regular people can see y'all are in a cult liberals. OK, when we look at Joe Biden and we watch those videos and he goes, true in a shop of depression. I'll say it again. When the dude goes true in a shop of depression, that's a word he said. And we're like, OK. And then and then we reasonably say, is Biden getting too old for this?
The media full-throatedly defended him, saying it was just a stutter. Don't make fun of the stutter. Now Jake Tapper is publishing a book about the cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline. Are you kidding me? Y'all are in a cult. And what I mean by that is we know Jake Tapper knew he was lying. What sane person thought he was being honest? Nobody believes it. The people who do are a cult.
The people who come out and push these fringe, insane conspiracy theories that Donald Trump was a Soviet asset. I'm not kidding. Jonathan Chait. I mean, y'all are nuts. Now, you can come to me and tell me that the people who think Dominion servers and spy satellites and shows in Germany in the election, you can say they're cultists. I'll say, sure, but that's not that's not the Trump coalition. I mean, Ben Shapiro is at odds largely with many on the right on a variety of issues famously.
The issue of Israel is largely debated among people on the right. And I don't mean the Jews people. I mean, literally, there are America first people like stop funding this. And then there are, well, Trump's administration that are saying we love Israel. So that's why I say, look, nobody's perfect. But these people are a deranged, dangerous cult. They are people who can't parse through information. And this is the story that we get from the Daily Mail.
Swift justice for influencer who filmed herself calling for Musk's murder. Now, you got to ask yourself, why? Why would a young woman go on TikTok and break the law in this way and then taunt the FBI? She doesn't know what she's talking about. And you know it. And you know it. Right. Actually, I wonder if I can. You know, I've been ragging on David Pakman quite a bit lately, but I think it's it's worth ragging on. So let me let me show you this video.
Let me let me explain the cult to you guys. Hey, look. Yes, Pacman, you're in a cult. I love that. I love that right there where David made a video saying, yes, Pacman, you're in a cult because you got a video right here, which I wonder if I can make larger. And here we go. Trump threatens blue states will be wiped off the map. Six hundred and sixty six thousand views. Trump never, never threatened that. And David Pacman knows Trump never threatened that.
And I'm not trying to just single him out. It's just, you know, there's like three liberal channels I watch and it's longly been Pacman, Brian Tyler Cohen, sometimes Kalinsky, you know, so, you know, what can I say? But let's just let's just be real. OK, Trump never said that. I did a video about yesterday. Donald Trump said that there's going to be a big surprise for Democrats in the midterms. The blue states may even disappear off the map. He was he was he was talking about.
The electoral map, you will see the blue states disappear in an election. He said he's saying you will not get Democrats to win. It's actually quite simple. David Pakman titled it. Trump threatens blue states will be wiped off the map as if to imply Donald Trump was threatening violence against Democrat states. Now, don't get me wrong. You click the video and you're going to a little bit more context than that. But a lot of people are just going to see that thumbnail, see that headline as they do. And that's the world they live in.
I'm not going to sit here and pretend that everybody is innocent in this regard. But, yo, Trump never threatened to wipe off blue, like white, blue states off the map. This is the world that these leftists live in. Liberals, run of the mill liberals. And these people who don't read the news are going to see that headline and like that. And they're going to be like, how is nobody stopping Donald Trump? He's going to wipe out the blue states. They live in that world. They think he's a fascist.
Man, that you've got the litany of hoaxes against Donald Trump, the litany. So here's what happened with this woman. Sorry for, you know, ranting and not seven minutes and I didn't get to the news, right? Social media creator Sarah C. Roberts had a TikTok video where she threatened the billionaire's life. She called on others to take action. There's also other videos where women are saying things like, how much money would it take? Take one for the team. Yo, it's nuts.
She says in the clip, I promised myself I would avoid the news, but obviously I haven't. Here's my one thought. I have many thoughts. She then goes on to call for people to take Elon Musk's life. Okay. She then says, arrest me. You don't have enough people to even investigate me at this point. I haven't filed my taxes in like eight years and yet no one's come for me. Lady, you probably make what? $30,000, $40,000 a year. They probably know you owe a couple grand. I mean, I gotta be honest.
They probably owe her. She's like, nobody's come for me. Yeah, it's because you would have gotten a refund, lady. They're sitting there being like, hey, she didn't file a tax. Who cares? We got her money. We owe her.
These people are so stupid. Let me just kind of point that out again. OK, you work a job. Your taxes are automatically paid to the government from your paycheck. You don't get a choice. You kind of do. You can you can put in exemptions and things like this. But for the most part, they take in taxes out of your check, like employment tax and stuff. And then at the end of the year, when tax season comes, you file. And guess what? Usually you've overpaid. And the government then says, here's your refund. OK.
Thank you. And you get money back when you don't file your taxes unless you're like, is this lady own a business? Maybe. But I doubt it. The government probably owes her like two, three thousand dollars. And they're like, it's a good thing she never filed. We got to keep it. But that's how stupid these people are. So what ends up happening is a U.S. attorney responds.
This is a U.S. attorney, Ed Martin, responding, death threat and admission of multiple counts of tax fraud, he wrote, while also tagging U.S. attorney Ed Martin to the thread. Martin later, I'm sorry, that wasn't Martin who said that. Martin responded from his own ex-account, resharing the libs of TikTok viral clip. Duly noted. Thanks for letting us know. We'll put you in the system. Talk soon, ma'am. No one is above the law. Now, I don't know that we actually see hard movement in this regard. Do we really think that
That they're going to go after this lady. I mean, I hope so. And I think it's decently likely, decently likely. But I suppose we'll see. Duly noted. Thanks for letting us know. Let me tell you about why this woman did this. I don't think she knows or cares. You know, let's let's get let's let's do a deep dive on evolutionary psychology. How about it?
Women are more social than men. Women are more agreeable than men. And it's rudimentary, my friends. If you go back to 200,000 years to when humans were crawling around in the savanna or wherever they think humans came from, the out of Africa theory is being challenged now because they found earlier hominid remains that may be human related in other areas. So we don't exactly know. We'd like to think we did or we do.
But humans, they're tribal and they're nomadic. And the guys, what do the guys do? They go and hunt. They go and hunt. They defend. They fight. They war. And they come back and, you know, bring food and stuff. What do the women do? The women largely stay in the camps and they raise children. They gather. They forage.
And I, you know, it's funny how offended feminists get by the idea, which to me is in no way offensive at all. Like hunting and gathering, you know, gathering is totally fine. They say the reason women like shopping so much is because it's related to gathering. Going around, looking through bushes at colorful things and collecting them made humans successful. So it ends up happening. Humans are, I'm sorry, men are disposable. Men are disposable. And I mean, no disrespect to men, but it's true. As I often say, if you have 100 men, 100 women,
99 men die. 100 women can still have kids. That one guy's got to get to work, but your society can flourish. Women can do many of the jobs men had to do, and they can have children. Men are more proficient at certain things related to physical tasks, but women can perform these tasks. Typically, we know there's physical differences. Men are taller, stronger, etc. But women can do them. And so that society survives. Society where 99 women die fails. So you end up with
Women socializing with each other, building cohesive community, which is the most important thing to a society, and men largely disagreeable. Why? It's the greater male variability hypothesis. If you have 10 guys, they are allowed evolutionarily to challenge each other and try different things. You know why? 10 guys go out in each of 10 different directions and say, I know where I can find water.
One guy says, guys, listen to me. The water is there. Trust me. And they go, I don't. You're wrong. The water is there. They all bicker and fight and say, fine, everyone go your own direction. We'll find the water. Well, nine of them die. They were all wrong. The one guy finds the water, brings back big buckets full and gives it to the village and says, where are the other guys? I'm like, never came back. And he's like, well,
See, that's the thing about guys. They're disagreeable because it increases the rate by which some may succeed when it comes to issues of chance or a lack of knowledge. The women staying at the camp and socializing, protecting each other and building community stabilizes things. Here's where it can be, where it can go wrong.
This lady on TikTok doesn't know anything about what's going on. And I'm not saying every guy does either. I'm saying the point is nine of those guys were dumb and they died. That's what happens in that hypothetical scenario. This woman likely made the video because she knows it will go viral. There have been numerous studies showing that young girls suffer depression when they don't get likes and shares on social media.
There are numerous instances where young girls harmed themselves over a lack of likes on Instagram. It's mind rot. They found in these studies that teenage girls would take pictures of themselves, post to Instagram, and if they got a bad amount of likes, they would delete the photo right away and then make another one. Men, don't do this. There's also a, I would call this one anecdotal, but it's a meme, it's a trope.
When men take pictures of objects for social media, they take a picture of the object. When women take pictures of objects, it's them standing in front of the object doing a selfie. They want them to be in it. Now, there's a lot of these bros and these dating podcasts are like, look how stupid women are, blah, blah, blah. No, that's wrong. Men and women are just different. And men laugh that women don't act like men, resulting in women trying to act like men. Stupid. Anyway, I digress. This woman...
Shows us this mental disease social media is propagating. She doesn't know anything about the news. She's not involved in politics. She actually said she would avoid the news. She has just thrown her life away, threatening serious crimes against a government employee and wealthy man and admitting to not paying taxes. I think she said she didn't file her taxes. That what she said? Well, let me arrest me. She says, I haven't filed my taxes. She didn't say she didn't pay him.
So it's not necessarily tax fraud. But why? Why would she do it? She then responded something like, oh, no, guys, don't share this. I don't I don't want to go viral. Yes, she did. That's why she did it. There are tons of videos out there.
I mean, come on, guys. Look at the videos of the dudes taking gallons of milk and spraying it all over themselves in Walmart while screaming, I'm a big baby, I'm a big baby or whatever, I'm a beautiful baby boy. And then everyone's staring at them. They do it because they're desperate for their pathetic lives to get noticed. You are pathetic losers, each and every one of you. These people who dump weird garbage in their faces while screaming and gurgling, you are pathetic. Okay, but you know what?
There's always going to be a lowest common denominator. Now, nothing is more pathetic than what this woman did. But here's where I get worried. I do want to save this for a bigger segment. But we've got this great thread about a second civil war. Yeah, I know I said it, but it's not me. It's Ray Dalio talking to Tucker Carlson. And the gist of the conversation, well, it's a long conversation. But this here, the point is, we've got some kind of new civil war. It's administrative conflict.
Now, I certainly think there are powerful deep state entities and bureaucrats that don't want to lose their power. That I get. What we're seeing, however, is people like this woman. OK, I'm going to say it again as clearly as I can. She doesn't know anything about politics. There is this Ph.D. woman on X going viral because she's calling Mike Cernovich stupid because he said the DOJ was part of the executive branch like.
He tweeted, show me where in the Constitution says the president doesn't have authority over the DOJ. And she did this four part thread, which like, oh, my God, you're so dumb. It's in the Constitution. And then she claimed the DOJ was part of the judiciary. It's not. These people are very stupid. OK, and I'm not trying to insult or dig at them. I'm saying quite literally they lack knowledge, wisdom and IQ points.
They go on social media in their deep emotional states, desperate for attention and say psychotic things, which is going to rile other people up. Take, for instance, Luigi Mangione. There's literally no logic in the actions taken by Luigi. If Luigi was playing a game of chess, he'd lose in four moves. You know that move in chess where it's like you move the pawn, the bishop, the queen, and then take the pawn and you're like, I won in four moves. And everyone's all impressed by it.
People who don't play chess, it is really funny because I forgot what it's called, but I know the basic four moves. It works against novices. And people who don't play chess are always like, oh, you beat you with four moves? It's like, bro, it's like kindergarten level chess to learn how to win in four moves. It's like one of the most basic things. But that's the world they live in.
Luigi Mangione's actions did nothing, changed nothing. It created a shock to the system for these powerful elites so they can protect themselves. It did literal nothing. And they're cheering for it. You ask them what was accomplished? Nothing, nothing. I mean, completely honest, nothing changed. Health care costs didn't go down. They're literally nothing. And they're cheering for it. You know, these people could run full speed to a brick wall and they cheer for it.
The problem is they're dangerous, violent psychopaths. People like Luigi Mangione, allegedly. And I do want to stress this, too. There's a lot of reason to believe Luigi Mangione is innocent. I'm not kidding. If you've been following the story, many of the liberals are pointing out that the case against him doesn't make sense. And I've long said I don't believe that he looks like the same guy from the surveillance footage from the shooting. Don't know for sure. Maybe it is him. But allegedly.
I don't make sure that's clear because, you know, maybe it'll come out in the court case that actually they did get the wrong guy. Maybe they didn't, though. I don't know. I don't know. What I can say is this woman isn't the only person who's done this and it's escalating. And as more and more people seek to be part of the cult, they will try to do things that encourage each other or gain clout amongst the crowd. I'll give you one final analogy or analogy, but way to understand the threat of civil war or whatever you want to call it.
Tucker Carlson lived in D.C. for a while. He lived just outside of D.C. Protesters showed up to his home and they broke the door and they broke his door by banging on it. They denied they did. But who believes them? His wife was hiding in the closet as they were screaming, banging. Now, they denied any of this stuff, but it's a lie because they did the same thing to Cassandra Fairbanks, now McDonald. They went to her house and were banging on the window, screaming. And it's a threat, launching fireworks. These people are sinister and they're evil. But why do they do it? Well, let me tell you how riots escalate.
The snowflake doesn't blame itself for the avalanche. Tucker moved far away. He was right to do so because what happens is one per let's say 50 people are like, we're going to go protest that insert person's house. They show up. They're all outside. They're screaming and they're yelling. One person walks up to get a peek in the window.
He walks into the window and he's looking. Other people see him walking towards the window and they don't know what he's doing. So they follow. He goes to the window and he raises his hands to look through and someone else sees him doing that. And they run up and they smack the window. Someone else sees the window get smacked. So they pick up a rock and throw the rock. Basically, the first individual who walks up to the house to the steps and tries to look at the door, people in the crowd, all like a school of fish, like a bird murmuration,
It's a rapid fire avalanche of actions and intent. The first person's intention is just to look at the door, to go up to the stairs and take a look around. The person behind him doesn't know that. And he thinks we're going up to the house.
and goes to the door and opens the screen door to the next person, bangs on the wood door. The next person kicks the wood door. The next person sees the door fly open, takes a peek inside. The person behind him sees him leaning his head and thinks he's going in and pushes in himself. Each individual with no direct intent to break into this home. You can watch this happen. I've seen it happen over and over and over again in these riots. Get that on the mass scale of what this woman is saying.
And that's where we end up in a great conflict. And there are powers that will weaponize these psychotic, psychotic, deranged individuals as cannon fodder. All right. All right. I got a lot more to talk about, so I'm not going to keep ranting on this one here. I'll wrap it up. Stay tuned. We got more segments coming up today. You don't want to miss them. Thanks for hanging out and we'll see you all in the next segment.
I'm sorry, guys. I love this Donald Trump guy. It's so on brand for Trump to announce the gold card visa program. Five million dollars. And honest question. How do you feel about it? Give me a comment. Let me let me know what you think, because I'm going to tell you what I think. And I don't care. I think it's a great program. I'm largely unmoved by it.
Economic citizenship, economic residency is what they call it. Many countries do this. Trump is announcing it for the U.S. It's just expensive. And I think it's fantastic. We want wealth and power, intelligence, merit and ability, capability to come to these United States.
So I'm a fan. I'm a fan. But you guys, let me know what you think. Seriously, comment, because I know there's a big debate over whether or not we should pause immigration due to the crisis this has experienced for so long. Over the past several years, with some 15 or so million, depending on your estimates, illegal immigrants coming into the country with mass deportation. There are many people advocating for an immigration moratorium. So I can understand why some people are going to say no to this.
My bigger question is to the liberals out there, if there are any watching, why do you oppose or support or are you neutral? Whatever. I'm genuinely curious why a Democrat would be opposed to this. He's opening up a new, easier path to citizenship, residency, visa for four people who can afford to do so. It's another path. I agree with it. Take a look at the Timcast dot com discord community.
If you want to call in to our uncensored show on Rumble Premium on Timcast IRL, Monday through Thursday at 10 p.m., you either have to be a member for six months at $10 a month or sign up for $25 a month and you jump the line. Why do we do that? It's not because we want more money from you. Honestly, it is more money, but it's negligible. The issue is...
When we said anybody could just sign up and join in, we got a bunch of activists. We got haters. We got disruptors. People were trying to break the rules. So we said, OK, when you sign up, you get a limited access. If you want to pay extra, you can get the higher tier of access where you can call in. That way we have to deal with activists trying to cause problems, lie, cheat and steal, et cetera, and try and get a spand. And so it was more about creating a gate.
In this regard, five million dollars, you know, is the cost and you get a visa. Let's break it down, though, and see what's going on with Trump's gold card. When honestly, when Trump announced the gold card, I didn't know what he was talking. I saw this clip of like Trump's new gold card. And I'm like, it's like a financing thing. It's like, oh, it's like a green card. But for rich people, President Trump announced a new visa program for investors coming to the U.S. on Tuesday that would cost applicants five million.
Trump touting the project as a gold card program, mimicking the green cards permanent residents get, told reporters in the Oval Office that it would be up and running in two weeks. This is I think is epic, actually, in my opinion.
The announcement came as other immigrant routes expanded during the Biden administration are being curtailed, particularly those from Central and South America. Trump has advocated for legal immigration, particularly work based visas, which he said is helping bring in money and jobs back to the country. You know, it's funny is Trump said we don't want immigrants coming from whole nations. And they were like, you're talking about nonwhite countries. What about European? Because Trump was like, what about Denmark? And they said, ha ha, you're racist. And Trump's like, dude,
Denmark's a high GDP nation. These are high, you know, to be honest, I think Trump's wrong. These Nordic European countries are socialists, sort of. But the issue is money is the way to do it, in my opinion. For direct access, it's one way to do it. There's other ways to do it. There's the O-1. There's, what is there? The O-1 is like exceptional talent.
But did you know that Nigerian immigrants to this country, on average, make more money, have higher incomes than your average American? The reason is these are the best of the best from Nigeria. They worked hard. They saved money. They had the access, the meritocracy, education, and they came to the U.S. for a better life. I love it. I love it. The best of the best coming here to these United States is amazing. Trump's offering another route. You can buy it. It's faster. It's easier. And I think the way it works is
is you invest in the United States. It's not you give the money to the government. They're going to say Trump has advocated for legal immigration, legal, particularly work based visas, which he has said help bring money and jobs into the country. The president said the current investor visa known as EB-5 would be scrapped in favor of selling a gold card. It's going to be a route to citizenship and wealthy people will be coming into our country by buying this card. OK, so maybe it is a cash transaction.
They will be wealthy. They will be successful. They will be spending a lot of money and paying a lot of taxes. I am for it. Let me tell you, it's because they're not there's not that many people who can afford this. And it's going to bring industry and leaders of industry into the country. I think it's a good thing. What we don't want is displacement migration.
That is a large influx of a different culture can disrupt and displace our traditional culture. Be that the American culture of all different racial backgrounds. We don't want disruption and conflict. The investors coming in few and far between, and it helps bring industry and it'll be great for the economy.
They say Trump was joined by Commerce Secretary Howard Letnick, who said the current EB-5 program was the way to get a green card, which was low priced. Currently, the EB-5 cost $100,000 and $200,000 in fees from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service. But that is on top of a commitment applicants have to make to invest between $800,000 and $1 million. So let's just break it down. Trump's actually saying we're making it a little bit more expensive, a little easier, a little more expensive.
The visa program, one of many job-based visas offered by the U.S., also requires at least 10 jobs to be created by the investment, and the applicant has to prove they have the capital in the first place. EB-5 holders get a two-year green card and can apply for an extension. Beyond that is the chance to apply for citizenship. Canada does the same thing. Almost every country has what's called economic citizenship. That's a colloquial term to describe you can buy your way into any country.
According to Trump, the gold card will be a green card plus for those Lutnik described as wonderful world class global citizens. Applicants will still be vetted to ensure they meet the requirements set up by USCIS. Trump said he hoped the new category would help create jobs for the best and brightest currently studying in U.S. colleges, speculating anywhere anywhere between one and 10 million gold cards could be offered.
Lutnick also said the money would help offset the country's current deficit, thanks to the high price point, which would only outpace the current EB-5. Trump repeatedly mentioned selling these visas, despite the fact that the U.S. CIS generally collects fees from processing applications, which it can deny regardless of the amount paid.
What people are saying. Immigration attorney Stephen Brown told Newsweek it really is interesting to see what his plan is. Granted, so many things are ready, aim, ready, fire, aim. Right now, EB-5 Regional Center Integrity Act sunsets September of 27. So I guess the thought would be to lobby Congress to make this change to highly increase the investment amount and possibly change criteria.
Corporate law attorney Florian Hausweissner on X. President Trump is correct that the current EB-5 program is flawed and has been abused in the past. A gold card would be similar to what many other countries are already offering and level the playing field to bring successful entrepreneurs and their families to America.
Well, Trump said the program would be up and running within two weeks. The power to create new visa categories lies with Congress, which would need to create legislation to pass it and then send it to Trump's desk for approval. But I also must stress there are other means by which things get done and has been used by every president, governor or otherwise. They just do things and then it's challenged to the courts and the courts can say yes or no. So that's another way things can get done. Trump can say we are going to be doing this through executive action.
The courts, either everyone just says, you know what? We largely agree. Let's roll with it. Congress, if they have no issue, will say, sure, it's fine. And then later on, we'll codify it. Or there will be a challenge, temporary injunction, and then the courts will determine whether or not Trump has the authority. If he does not, typically what will happen is they'll kick it back and Congress will take action. However, with a Republican controlled Congress and this being not so much a controversial action, I think it's likely to happen. And I am a fan of this. Think about it.
You've got dudes. Let me pause like this. Let me go back. You've already got these tactics that are used by a lot of individuals that it's the same thing, but it's circuitous. Anyone can start a company in the United States. It's crazy, right?
So they'll invest money, start a company and then hire themselves. Then they will use that to try and get one of these available visas. So they're already investing money. There's already EB-5. There's already paths to do it. This seems like a path to streamline and generate revenue for the United States. Powerful, wealthy people who have the money are going to say, really? Five million just straight up. We're done. I'm done. OK. Instead of working on some
nebulous and vague plan with a fake company. They're real companies, but come on. They're not really doing anything. You can just step right up, ladies and gentlemen, bring that brain drain right here to these United States. So Donald Trump is currently saying no more illegal immigration, no more border insecurity. But the best and the brightest, we're going to make that path for you guys. What's the Democrat argument? What's the liberal argument? Honestly, you guys tell me in the comments. Honestly.
Because what we don't want is a mass influx of people who are likely going to be limited contributors to society. And I'm not trying to be mean, but you don't just get a free pass. What we want are good, hardworking people, and we want to vet them to make sure that's the case. We don't want to displace low skilled jobs. We want to make sure everybody has a chance at upward mobility. And that means you got to come legally. I believe that there should be other programs, the path to immigration, in my opinion, that
should be very similar to Trump's gold card visa program. But the numbers have to be limited and studied to make sure you don't displace existing American workers. And that's what it's all about. So maybe we could do something like investment program in uninhabited, largely uninhabited areas for city development where there are resources.
The city, the government can subsidize or directly subsidize the creation of housing, community buildings, structures through government infrastructure for the purpose of establishing contracts in refining certain minerals in areas where we have them but are underutilized.
I'm sure it's been proposed. Who am I? I'm just saying, bring it on, baby. The gold card is currently trending worldwide as people are trying to figure out what this means. There's a lot of people who are going to buy their way to America and, you know, a lot. But relative to most migration will be relatively low. And I welcome it. I welcome it. I think Trump's right. I'll leave it there. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone. You know, we got more segments coming up. You know it. Follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast. And we will see you all in the next segment.
It's a viral story in the first major test for our new HHS Secretary RFK Jr. as we are now getting reports of the first measles death in West Texas amid a growing outbreak. More than 124 people have been affected been infected across nine Texas counties. The story is quickly growing.
It is trending as many people are concerned that due to unvaccinated individuals, measles will continue to spread. There's a couple of a couple different views on this. One is that, well, measles is just spreading because sometimes it does. Not everybody is vaccinated from it. The next is that over a long enough period of time, people have begun to neglect certain vaccinations out of concern.
that we don't really need it anymore. You know, it's like, do we really get measles these days? And they begin to ignore it. And then, of course, you have the more deeper Democrat liberal worldview perspective in that anti-vaxxers have propagated skepticism, resulting in people refusing to get vaccinated, which has then resulted in a measles outbreak. Now, I can't prescribe or I can't dictate or tell you exactly what or why. I can only tell you that we have the first reported death
which some are saying is going to be the major challenge, first major challenge for RFK Jr. Now, of course, over at Vox.com, they're saying that he's an anti-vaxxer and that he's a vax skeptic or whatever it may be, and it's contributing to the problem, so they're curious to see how he handles it. To be fair, I don't think RFK Jr. is an unreasonable individual. I think he's correct largely about environmental toxins and chronic illness and disease. And he's promised to take a look at everything from a fresh perspective,
And from an unbiased point of view, I don't think that RFK Jr. is anti-vax. That's silly. I think RFK Jr. just wants sound science and testing. And I don't think the issue is largely the concept of vaccination, which is what Democrats, the corporate press tend to conflate when someone is concerned about, I don't know, regulation in pharmaceutical industries. The media calls an anti-vaxxer.
Me personally, I think the idea of vaccination is beautiful, majestic science. It is greatly improved health in this country. But there's a difference between the concept of vaccines and whether or not the companies that manufacture medications are doing so with within proper regulation. I'm not saying they are. I'm saying I understand the concern over how we present oversight to medications.
So let's just make it clear for all of those media liars. One more time. Vaccines as a concept and medication are fine. Private corporations are private corporations. Jon Stewart just ranted on on big pharma. How come all of a sudden when we're like, yeah, those rigorous science and regulation should apply to all medications, including vaccines. They're like, you're an anti-vaxxer. You want blanket just medicines without regulation. Get out of here, you weirdos.
But here's the story. This is big news. Measles in Texas. The first measles death has been reported in West Texas. And at the outbreak that's infected more than 100 people, the AP reported Wednesday morning. Melissa Whitfield, a spokesperson for Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, confirmed the death to the AP. The patient's identity and age were not shared. Covenant Children's Hospital in Lubbock did not immediately respond to a request for comment. I mean, you know, keep the details private. It's a sad story. As of Tuesday, the
The Texas outbreak had affected 124 people across nine counties, according to a statement from the Texas Department of State Health Services. Cases have also been spreading to New Mexico, with a total of nine confirmed in that state so far. The DSHS first confirmed the outbreak on February 5th.
The agency added the best way to prevent sickness is to receive two doses of the vaccine against measles, primarily administered as the combination of measles, mumps and rubella immunization. The story is developing. Well, Vox.com has chimed in, ladies and gentlemen, what RFK Jr. has said about the ongoing measles crisis outbreak. Nothing. What a stupid headline. You see, this is the problem I have. He's not yet comment on it. They say, well, let me read the story. Maybe it's been updated.
The new HHS secretary is facing one of his first public health crises. Will he blow up the typical protocol? Say in early February, Texas health officials reported that measles was spreading and they say that we're, you know, blah, blah, blah. Get out of here with your stupid patter.
Last year, the U.S. saw 285 measles cases nationwide, the fourth highest total since 2000. The outbreak has escalated just as the U.S.'s foremost vaccine skeptic. Stupid. Guys, I already I already explained, OK? Being concerned about whether or not rigorous testing is being done is not the same as being critical of vaccines. These people are evil, man. RFK Jr. has ascended as its top health care official on February 26. Texas, we get it.
Kennedy promises to probe the safety of childhood vaccines. And in his first action as the new HHS secretary, he's already put vaccine advisory meetings on indefinite hold. He's helped cultivate a culture of skepticism towards medical science. No, as the most prominent voice promoting a debunked link between childhood vaccinations and autism and other health issues. You know, I'm going to say it again. This is this is why they have no credibility. It's why people don't trust the corporate press and liberal media.
I would like all medications to undergo rigorous testing. I don't care if it's a pill, a painkiller, a vaccine. I think painkillers are amazing technology. I recently had dental work done. God bless those painkillers. I think vaccines are a model, are a marvel of modern science. I just want any medication across the board to be properly tested.
Kennedy is no longer an outside agitator, but a government official. So far, he has not commented. What a headline. What is RFK Jr. said? Nothing. OK, well, maybe he should. I don't know. How would the response to an outbreak normally look? They say when there's a disease outbreak that requires government action, local governments are the first responders. So nothing. RFK Jr. should say and do nothing because it's going to be local. Right now, it's isolated Texas.
That's what has happened in Texas. One Gaines County school district reported the first measles to their local community in January. Within a week, the Texas state government stepped up once the outbreak had climbed to six cases and began providing support for the local response. Okay, guys, you got a story at a Midway airport. Hey, I grew up literally a block away from Midway. Two blocks. Literally two blocks from Midway airport. I can say figuratively a block away, but
It's a very small airport. What apparently happened was a private jet was unauthorized to land and did. And so a Southwest flight had to quickly maneuver and do a pull up to avoid slamming into it. All of these accidents. It's been a month of Trump's presidency. There's been nothing Trump has done that could have impacted any of these industries in this way. They want to make it seem like, you know, not Vox. I'm not going to rag on Vox, but let me let me show you this.
Reddit first measles death reported in West Texas are slash news, supposedly a neutral news platform. And they got they got these comments. Nice work, anti-vaxxers. What literally has been done that could have resulted in this? They're blaming this nebulous group of anti-vaxxers.
Why? If y'all are vaccinated, why? This has been the problem with all of their arguments across the board.
You guys are vaccinated. You don't have to worry about this. The people who aren't do. And so that's why we encourage vaccination. But I'm not going to cry about it. If I put on my seatbelt and get into an accident and I'm fine and someone else doesn't, I'll be like, they should have worn their seatbelt. I'm not going to go around screaming anti-seatbelters. I'm going to be like, guys, just wear your seatbelt. We'll do our thing. You do yours and everyone should be responsible. Here we go. This is where they're playing the game.
All right. They say, what does our new secretary of health, R.J.K. Jr. have to say about this? Oh, nothing. Well, that's reassuring. It's nice to know the Trump administration is on top of this. As Vox pointed out, it doesn't start there. It starts at the local level. RFK is not going to come in until it goes interstate. Yep. Measles spreads to 12 to 18 people on average. COVID is around 2 to 2.5. Measles is crazy infectious. We get it. But this is the point. It's all political.
One of the congratulations, America, you voted for a future where people die like medieval peasants. Nothing the Trump administration has done so far contributed to this. This is stupid. They're blaming the administration. It will get worse. Maybe, maybe. But measles just a little cold blood on the hands of RFK and his. You see, this is what I'm talking about. What do you think? He didn't do anything. He's barely he barely just got confirmed, man. These people are crazy. How are we going to solve this stuff if that's the world they live in?
I'm going to say it right now, man. I am a pro-vax guy. I am all on board with go get your vaccines. OK, I just as I said a million times, I want sound science. What the left does is they play this game where it's absolute or nothing. During COVID, when I said, hey, look, I don't care just as long as regular rigorously tested and you go to a doctor and they prescribe it, I do whatever you want. And they're like, but Tim, now you're sowing doubt. Yo,
There were people that were like, so, OK, you know, I'm not trying to drag the guy, but Casey Neistat, I'm a fan. He's a great he's a good dude. He tweeted, go get vaccinated. And I responded with, no, go talk to your doctor about what's right for you. And if they prescribe vaccination, you get vaccinated. He said, that's weird. I didn't do that.
I pulled up in a parking lot and let them give me the vaccine. And I was like, holy crap, you you pulled up in a parking lot and had a random person inject you with something like, are you nuts? I can't believe people were doing that. That's crazy. I don't care what the government says. You go to a doctor. They go over your health issues because everybody's an individual. And they say, I think you're a good candidate for the vaccine. You probably get it. You know, what's crazy is that during COVID, these liberal people who are ragging it, ragging on RFK Jr. right now, we're simultaneously saying we need the vaccines for the elderly.
But also go get vaccinated. And it's like, I'm not blaming all of liberals for what were said by disparate individuals. I'm saying you can't have a cohesive political message where it's the vaccine is for the elderly and the vulnerable. I'm vulnerable. So people need to get vaccinated. And then everyone should get vaccinated. You can't tell people we want to be healthy and secure. Also, go to your local 7-Eleven parking lot and let a stranger give you a vaccine in the middle of the street. That's crazy. And sure enough, there were many people went to the doctor and the doctor said, it's not right for you. You know, one of the first things I was told is,
I talked to a doctor. I was like, I've seen everybody get the vaccine. Like, I'm not an anti-vaxxer by any stretch of the imagination. Do I need it? And, you know, they literally said, you're a mid-30s healthy male. No, you don't need it. And I said, OK. And so I didn't get it. There was no deep conspiracy. It wasn't me drooling over these weird documentaries. It was literally my doctor said no.
And then they did the mandate stuff. And that's what really pissed me off. I'm like, my doctor said no. They were like, you're young. You don't need it. It's for the elderly. It's for the infirm. And I was like, OK, that was it. I did end up getting sick. And I called the hospital. This is, you know, I can't stand these people. OK, let me let me just say this. I got COVID, called the doctor and they said, go to sleep. I'm not kidding. I said, I'm feeling pretty sick. I think I got COVID. I'm I'm really bad.
And they were like, there's nothing we can do for you. So just lay down, drink fluids and watch TV or something. And I was like, okay. But I was really sick. And so, um,
I reached out to various medical professionals I knew and friends. And the simple version is Joe Rogan. And I know it's silly. I hate name dropping, but he's a good dude. He helped us out, connected us with a monoclonal antibody service and said, like, talk to these doctors. They're good people. And they said, we'll get you monoclonal antibodies. And and they did. And I felt better instantly. And.
Afterwards, they told me I should get ivermectin. And this is a doctor. And I was like, I'm not interested. I was like, I feel fine. I feel great. I think the monoclonal antibodies worked. It's an approved treatment. And they insisted I do. And I protested and said, you're my doctor. So I'll do what you say. But I protest. And the media lied and claimed I was advancing. And this is so funny. They claimed I was advancing ivermectin. And so that crackpot liberal and Pierce Morgan was like, Tim Pool denied COVID existed, then got COVID and took ivermectin. I'm like, none of that is true.
I covered COVID from the beginning. I never downplayed the vaccines. I said, just talk. If your doctor recommends it, you do what your doctor tells you to do. I rejected ivermectin. I argued with Joe. I told Joe, I don't think it really works. And he told me it did. But they lie anyway. And it's the weirdest thing imaginable. Okay, I digress. I'm not going to rant on that stuff. The point is, we have measles now. We want everyone to be safe.
I say find a doctor you know and trust, and that's what you go for. RFK Jr., it's not a national level yet, but that's the political game they're playing. So if you're concerned about this, talk to your doctors. Be careful because it does spread, and measles is bad. It's very bad. I'm going to leave it there.
Because otherwise I'm going to rant on the COVID stuff again. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. Thanks for hanging out. We got more segments coming up and we will see you all shortly.
Now, let me just say to all the video game fans, the Dragon Age fans out there, you probably know a good bit about this story and you are reveling in it. But news just broke that Dragon Age, the Veil Guard will be a free monthly game. Thank you, PlayStation. Now, for those that have no idea about video games, bear with me because this is a cultural bombshell.
Dragon Age, the Veil Guard was roasted. It's a triple A video game. Imagine for those that don't know anything about video games. Imagine this is like a blockbuster film coming out and nobody goes to see it. Dragon Age is a huge IP. I'm a big fan of the series, or at least I was of the earlier games. And I like big fan. Look, I've played them and I enjoyed them. These people are like, well, you weren't a real fan if you don't understand the messaging that we were talking about. Nine Baron, you should shut up. So this game comes out.
And the first thing I see is this trailer or this cut scene from the game where one of the characters misgenders a god and then goes, I better pull a Bob and then starts doing pushups. And then they do this whole preachy BS about how you can't misgender people. And I was like, I know what game I'm not buying. The game came out only like four months ago. Let me just say woke is broke. This is a nail in the coffin for wokeness.
This we're talking about major video game IP bombing and PlayStation giving it away for free. Yo, this is wild. I'm not as big a gamer as I used to be. I'm sure many of you probably aren't either. But I used to I used to play tons. I mean, I'm playing Marvel Rivals now a little bit. I played Overwatch a lot. Overwatch, Destiny, The Division, played those games quite a bit. Now I just play Marvel Rivals sometimes.
Because, you know, I don't know, it's fun, but I'm not really interested in being a pro Marvel Rivals player. It's a fun game, though. Here's a story. Weeks after EA said Dragon Age The Veil Guard did not resonate with a broad enough audience. Oh, man. Just say it. We went woke and then we went broke. Okay? The game didn't resonate, did not resonate with a broad enough audience. That's what wokeness is. Okay? Yo.
I go to a restaurant and they're like, we got the non-binary bathroom. And I'm like, ain't nobody using that. Nobody's using that bathroom, dude. Why are we altering, excuse me, fundamentally altering society for a tiny, tiny market? Here we go. GamesRadar says, it's not even been four full months since the Veil Guard was released, but the RPG is already heading to PlayStation Plus as one of three free monthly games. Subscribers will be able to claim and keep
Yo, I saw this tweet. It was really funny. They were like, finally, EA figured out what they can do to get me to add the Veil Guard to my library. Make it cost $0. Indeed. Announced on a post on the PlayStation blog, Dragon Age the Veil Guard will be available to claim from March 4th for PS Plus subscribers. No matter what tier they're paying for, after claiming it, you'll be able to download and play the RPG at any time as long as you're still subscribed. It's not like the library of games available to PS Plus extra members where titles occasionally disappear from once they came.
Earlier this month in an earnings call, EA CEO Andrew Wilson stated that despite the Veil Guard's high quality launch and being well reviewed by critics and those who played, shut your mouth. OK, the critics are fake. The media is lying. We know it. And this is proof. You can't lie to us anymore. This story does feel so 10 years ago, by the way, when we were like video games are bad. Stop making them woke.
In the same call, EA's chief financial officer, Stuart Canfield, stated the game underperformed. It seems pretty wild to make the RPG available to keep via a subscription service so soon after its release, but at least it's hopefully given more players a chance to try it out and perhaps introduce it to that broader audience that EA was hoping for.
In our Dragon Age The Veil Guard review, we said it was an approachable, expansive, action-oriented RPG and feels like a true end to whatever the franchise was before. And while it's undoubtedly different in many ways from its predecessors and takes lessons learned from Mass Effect to Heart, there's a lot to love. Also on March 4th, PS Plus subscribers will get Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Cowabunga Collection. Yeah, I don't care. Here you go, baby.
Dragon Age, the Veil Guards, clumsy, preachy political messaging does more harm than good. You know it. I knew it. And I got to tell you, yes, I will state unequivocally, yes, the narrative around the game being woke prevented me from purchasing it. I bought Baldur's Gate the moment it came out. It's got a little weird woke stuff in it. You can make pronoun characters with
reverse special parts, if you know what I mean. It's weird. Like you can make a man with female parts with a female voice who uses weird pronouns. And I'm largely just I don't know, whatever. The game doesn't have any preachy moments about binary, non-binary, whatever stupid garbage like Dragon Age does. So when I saw those videos, I said, can't buy it. Yo, and I was I played the Dragon Age games, man. I like them. I'm not going to pretend to be some huge fan, but I bought them and I played them.
The best way to convince someone of your point of view is generally not to bash them over the head with a cudgel. But that seems to be the preferred approach in modern political discourse and, alas, in entertainment. The culture being what it is has lost all sense of subtlety. In far too many films, TV shows, and video games, we see a heavy-handed, top-down approach to the issues of the day. It's a real shame the developers at BioWare decided to go this route in Dragon Age. I've already posted my impressions. This is from Forbes.
Piece about the game, which I've pleasantly surprised with so far. I was worried going in, but Veil Guard has been a lot more fun and a lot more engaging than I expected. I refuse to play a game with preachy, woke garbage in it. I don't care. I don't care. I ain't buying it. You make whatever game you want. It's the game you want to make. I don't care if two minutes out of 100 minutes of cut scenes is woke garbage. I ain't gonna buy it. That's just me in my piece.
I noted that so far, at least, I hadn't encountered anything overtly preachy or one that might describe as garishly political or overly woke. The game is diverse and gives you options to play as male, female, or trans. And apparently they added top scars. Hmm.
But in my time with it, it felt mostly like giving players more choice and freedom. But I had not yet arrived at a certain section of the game that has now been making the rounds on social media, being roundly and rightfully mocked. Unfortunately, the scene in question will play directly into the narrative that this game is woke, feeding a cycle of online discourse that goes nowhere but earns lots of clicks and resulted in its failure. I will say it again. The moment that story dropped, I was looking for it. Tell me about the game. They said, here's the cut scene. I said, ain't buying it.
Ain't buying it. And look, I'm the key demo. I'm a 38 year old man with disposable income who plays video games. I am your customer. You'd be better off making a video where it's like men are great. And like, imagine a guy just flexing being like, let's be dudes. And then they high five. I'd laugh. I'd be like, that was weird, but I'd still play the game. Okay. They say blah, blah, blah.
In the scene question below, one character misgenders another to atone for his sin. She does a set of push-ups and lectures the other character. Do they have the video? Oh, here, let's roll, baby. Okay, come on. Let me, I'm trying to zoom in on this one. Many of you have already seen it. Play it. I was so proud.
Get woke, go woke. Oh.
Okay. A barve? Tradition in the Lords of Fortune, from one of our old members, Barve. Good guy, but like most of us, his plans went sideways a lot. Bad blood among your crews, not good for morale, but there's not always time for big, drawn-out apologies. So, when one of us screws up and we know we've screwed up, we do a quick ten to put it right. Pulling a barve. There we go. Look, it keeps going! Like, straight up, it doesn't stop. I'm glad the Lords of Fortune have Tasha's back.
Non-binary? Jeez. Non-binary?
Any reason you can't just apologize? Sometimes people say, oops, sorry, and hope that fixes it. But they just want to get the whole thing over with. Trust me, I know. But pulling a barf, you sweat a little. Makes you think about it a little more. Shows the other person you mean it. What if they mean it when they say they're sorry, though? And that's the... How is this over two minutes long? Another reason. Some people mess up and get all dramatic. They make it about them.
So I'm, like, are they saying this, I guess she's like an Asian elf? She's non-binary or something? I do that.
I genuinely think they wanted people to do this. I genuinely believe that people made this game. We're hoping in the real world, people would be like, oops, I misgendered. You better pull a barf. OK, there you go. I can't believe this whole cut scene. It's absolutely psychotic. Your game is now free. Ladies and gentlemen, Dragon Age, the Veil Guard is now a free game. Can you believe it?
Clumsy, preachy political messaging. Nobody wanted to buy it. Nobody wants to sit through a cut scene where you have to actually agree with their psychotic, stupid garbage nonsense. They say this is immersion breaking, frankly. It's written so poorly that it comes as self-parody. The character's performance apology is shallow and empty, as all performative apologies are. In my experience, a simple and genuine sorry is better than making a big show of it.
This whole scene feels freshly cut from some conversation in an undergrad gender studies class in the year 2024. The kind of conversations that undergrads will someday look back on and cringe over. What was the budget for this game? You know what I mean? I got to tell you, when I saw that, I said, I ain't buying it. That's it. I won't buy it. I'm not going to cry about it. I'm going to laugh at you. I'm having fun. But like, dude, I don't care if you want to make your weird woke garbage. You do it with my blessing. OK, I'm not going to buy it.
That's it. And nobody did. Nobody bought it. You'd think after Bud Light, we're now going out a year or two of Bud Light and Target and all these other companies that got woke and went broke.
You'd have been like, we should just get rid of this stuff. And I've been hearing over at Marvel, Kevin Feige, this was in August, he started firing all of the woke producers because, boy, did they burn a billion dollar franchise industry to the ground. Let me just tell you, the Marvel movies were pulling in a billion dollars a film. I mean, ridiculous. And I think Matt Walsh was roasting on Fantastic Four, like, how many of the same story do we need? And he ain't wrong.
Like they're all the hero's journey in some way or another, and they're becoming cluttered nonsense. But man, the Marvels get will go broke. You know, Captain Marvel was the stupidest idea anyone could have thought of. They're like, let's make let's make a female hero's journey where the story is a woman has her power suppressed by a man who keeps telling her to control her emotions. And then she finally lets her emotions out and defeats him.
You know what? People went and saw that movie, but they went and saw it not because of feminism. They went and saw it because of Captain America and Spider-Man and Iron Man, and they thought they were going to get a good hero's journey. I went and saw it for that reason. I did not see in the Marvels the sequel. I just, nope. I got to be honest. Captain Marvel was so bad. I was basically like, I'm out. And then in Endgame, when Captain Marvel swoops in and catches the gauntlet and then like,
Thanos is trying to hit her and he's like, and then he pulls, he pulled, or she's holding his finger so he can't close in. He pulls the power off and punches her. I was like, stop, please. He head butts her and she doesn't move. No, stop. You're awful.
I'm enjoying myself. I'm reveling. It's schadenfreude. Your game, like, whatever. I'm done. You get it. Get woke, go broke. Thanks for hanging out. I'll see you guys tonight at TimCast IRL. And go to castbrew.com and buy coffee. Follow me on X and Instagram. Smash the like button. Comments. Let me know what you think. And we'll see y'all next time.
