Drones Looking For DIRTY BOMB In NJ Claims Viral Video, False Flag To STOP Trump Feared, Start WW3
01:56:47 Share

On a search for a missing nuclear weapon, the U.S. government has deployed drones over New Jersey, frantic searching for radioactive signatures that could help them identify the lost nuclear warhead.

That's the rumor going around at least, and I'm going to tell you outright, it is most likely not true. I say most likely because I have to reserve some realm of, I mean, it's possible, but just very, very, very unlikely that there is a nuclear material emitting a gamma wave signature because someone stole a nuclear weapon or there's a dirty bomb. I really do not believe it. And I'll tell you why, my friends.

There's a bunch of conspiracy theories circling what these drones really are doing all over the New Jersey area near New York. There was an Air Force base that had to shut down operations because of a drone sighting. New York is launching an early drone detection system. My friends, I will tell you the most likely scenario here is that government is probably flying some drones.

For something, I don't know, maybe a small handful, a few dozen in various areas for testing purposes. Universities may be doing the same. It is infinitely more likely that it is just a decentralized group. It's just people flying drones of various types. That seems to be what makes the most sense. But if you want to get conspiratorial on me, man, the idea is.

But there's missing radioactive materials and there's a panic going on because Iran may have smuggled a dirty bomb. I'm going to tell you why I don't think that's true. OK, some are saying it's a false flag attempt that there will be some kind of detonation or disaster which will be used to get us into World War Three and Iran or Russia will be the culprit.

The reason why I don't buy that is because the government would be coming out right now and saying we have received credible threats from Russia and Iran on U.S. soil. And we are now taking it very seriously. We have launched drone early detection systems for your safety. Ladies and gentlemen, no need to panic. Now, I've had some conversations with people about this, and the argument is usually, yeah, but people would freak out. They'd flee New York. The economy would be devastated.

And that's true. But think about what would happen if, I don't know, a bomb did go off and it killed lots of people. Everyone would then say, you knew and you didn't warn anybody. And that would actually strike at the credibility of the government. Not that they're very credible to begin with. But if the idea is to launch a false flag in order to get us into World War III, doesn't seem very likely. There is another possibility, if it really is about finding a missing dirty bomb or rogue dirty bomb,

Perhaps it's real. Now, that's a scarier thought because that is actually substantially more likely than a false flag operation or anything like this. If the government got credible intelligence that there was a plot to detonate a nuclear device or dirty bomb in a major metro area, this is probably how they would respond. To be honest, I mean, you deploy some drones for detection.

Do sweeps and you wouldn't say anything because you're hoping to avert a crisis before you cause a panic where everybody flees the eastern seaboard. Now, with all that being said, I got to tell you guys, I think the simple solution here is that it's likely just a bunch of different reasons. Seriously, there's probably different government agencies, flying drones, hobbyists, flying drones. Many of the sightings are probably just airplanes. Look, I don't believe it for a second.

People were posting the Corona. Do you guys what the Corona is? OK, sometimes when it's a bright full moon, doesn't have to be a full moon. You will see a beautiful ring around the moon when you look up like a bubble. It's called the Corona. It's a it's a lunar Corona. It is it is a phenomenon happens when moonlight is reflect refracted through light or whatever.

Many say it signals that rain may be coming soon. And sure enough, this weekend, we had a beautiful lunar corona. And then sure enough, yo, it snowed like, I don't know, an inch or two. And then rained, kind of sucked. So it's sludgy, but it's still very snowy outside. And that's what people were saying. But I saw all of these posts from people being like, I don't know what's going on with these drones, but there's a ring above the moon right now or around the moon. And it's like,

Are people looking up for the first time in their lives? And they're like, what's up? I don't know what that is. And it's like, it's there. Look up. I'm not kidding, dude. I think a lot of this is mass hysteria. There's something real behind what the drones are doing, perhaps. But there's a lot of mass hysteria that people heard about drones, started filming everything. And I got some videos to show you. And they're fake.

There's one video that went viral from ABC. It's not that they're fake. One viral video from ABC News where it shows this pulsating orb, which looks like a static orb flying in the sky. And it's just a camera issue. Anybody who's working on cameras knows you just zoom in on a light and it looks like that. I find it fascinating, really. I do think, however, the initial drone sightings probably are something real. I don't know that it's going to be for nuclear detection, but hey, we don't know. And we're

With that being said, I think y'all should just take moderate precautions and be vigilant, but be pragmatic. Sometimes there could be a disaster right in front of us and you're not going to see it coming. But you look for the signs. You hope for the you. You hope for the best. You prepare for the worst and you live your life. There's no reason to be terrified of whatever this is. But but let's take a look at this story.

We have this from Newsweek. Mystery drones could be trying to find radioactive material. Aerospace CEO. We actually have numerous experts chiming in, saying in their expertise, it looks like this is a search for nuclear material. The recent epidemic of reported drone sightings across New York and New Jersey could be due to a potential gas leaks or radioactive material. One subject matter expert said.

Reports of mysterious drone sightings in multiple states have drawn widespread attention from lawmakers and members of the public in recent weeks. John Ferguson, the CEO of Saxon Aerospace, a drone manufacturer in Kansas, weighed in on the topic in a TikTok post that has gone viral. The FBI said it has received more than 3,000 tips regarding drone sightings, with the majority of those of these reported observations happening at night.

In his nine minute video, Ferguson offered an assessment of the drone, saying the only reason an unmanned aircraft would be flown at night was if its operator was looking for something. No, I'm sorry, guys. Look, the truth is we just don't know. This is why, you know, people get so mad at me when I'm just like anti conspiracy theory. Look, I believe conspiracies exist. I believe the mainstream media, the corporate press is lying to us all the time. But right now we don't know anything.

And there is likely, in my opinion, recreational drone enthusiasts flying drones at night because you can and you don't need to be looking for something. There's probably military grade research drones and technology. Sure. Some of these may be some type of detection, but I don't think it's one thing.

Now, I'll be honest, if it is a government conspiracy, I'm going to go and say the conspiracy is likely to create a hysteria around drones to get a law passed that's likely going to restrict the use of drones in particular cases or to create law. Because this is just like, for those that are fans of The Simpsons, Bear Patrol. A bear comes into the city and trashes things. Everybody panics, even though bears almost never come into the city. And then they decide to tax everybody and launch the Bear Patrol.

That's what you do. So right now you've got these drones. Everybody's losing their minds. And the government can step in and say, we need a drone task force, a drone early detection system. We are going to launch this program. We're going to sign this law and everyone's going to clap and cheer when reality, maybe it's nothing. Now, what I can't say is if this really was like, I tell you this, the government knows exactly what's going on, dude.

The idea that a large SUV-sized drone could launch from somewhere and fly around, and they would not know where it came from or where it went, is silly. Come on. We've had the capability to track objects like this for 100 years. Maybe not 100 years, but 70 years. Come on. Quote, my own guess is that these drones are not nefarious in intent, if they are.

They are, but I doubt it. But if they are drones, the only reason they'd be flying and flying that low is because they're trying to smell something on the ground. Now, that's just, that's just, people want to believe what they want to believe, man. There's a million and one reasons to fly drones low to the ground. I'm sorry. It's just, with recreational drones available at your local Best Buy, I know we're not talking about small mega drones for the most part. We're talking about big, weird drones.

Some of the reports are that these are manned aircraft. They could be quad rotor based manned aircraft at some. Look, let's say you have one guy flying. It's not even a drone, a quad rotor personal carrying device. And he lands. A bunch of reported the feds. He has no idea anybody reported. I mean, I think he's going to do anything wrong where we lived. The old studio right off the I believe it's the Potomac River. You have gyrocopters flying through like a couple times per day. And they're weird looking little aircraft.

And it's cool because the elevation of the studio, it's actually like, I think it's like 100 and 200 feet. And so at the river, when you look out the window, you see them at eye level flying past. And we're just like, yeah, it's a gyrocopter. I mean, I guess they don't fly at night. But let me show you a little bit what we got here. Drones looking for Ukrainian nuclear bomb. Drone manufacturer shocking claim goes viral. Yeah, guys, I really don't think so. A surge in mysterious drone sightings.

Chef Andrew Gruel says to summarize 10 minutes professional drone experience working with the military as an inside source as a nuke went missing from Ukraine. He thinks it's here in the U.S. and drones are sniffing around for it literally by flying low and at night. Also, the guy who posted this will probably be in jail in two hours. Now, there's this viral viral thread here from Jersey Futures, an anonymous thread from an anonymous person that nobody knows.

Long Jersey Retired Fin Systems Bank, MM Fund, Compliance Clearing, blah, blah, blah. And making a similar claim. Maybe. You know, that's all I can say. Maybe. But I'm honestly not really convinced.

Low in at night does make sense in a certain regard. The argument is that the heat differential at night between an object that has absorbed a lot of heat will be more apparent around dusk. So during the day, if there's an object absorbing sunlight, it's going to heat up. When the sun finally breaks at dusk, the temperature around everything else starts to cool rapidly, but an object made of metal likely would retain much of that heat for longer, giving you a heat signature you could track.

This viral thread strangely was deleted. The account was deleted, but then reinstated. And it's got 2.5 million views with 2.7K retweets. This account claims, I'm one of a few groups who know exactly what the drones are in New Jersey. This tweet will go into the void as I have no followers, but I'll share anyways. What you're seeing are American-made HPGE nuclear detection drones. All right, well, let's do a search for that. Well, we got HPGE drone.

Let's see if we can find an image of said drone. So, uh, we have an, we have an image here. It's hard to see. Let me pull up the full website and get a look at what this drone is. Radiological survey, remote sensing, fixed wing UAV platform. And, uh,

We go. So it's kind of hard to see. This photo is not very good. But they do look like strange little objects. So for the average person looking up, this is something that's going to trigger a report. What is this weird-looking fixed-wing aircraft thing? The account says...

They can detect the presence of gamma rays miles away, but what is a gamma ray? That's the stuff we attribute to radiation. Electromagnetic waves that penetrate you and cause cancer. That's right, it's called ionizing radiation. And the thing you need to understand about radioactive waste fallout and dangers is that there's alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma wave radiation. I am no expert, but I had to learn this when I went to Fukushima in Japan. In the late 2000s, the DOD needed a response to the threat of dirty bombs from ISIS coming into our ports.

They've been stocking up on these drones for a while. Some were deployed to Ukraine when Russia threatened to use dirty bombs. They look weird because they're heavy and have giant cryo coolers mounted and a giant horn antennas to communicate on millimeter wave frequencies that can't be jammed. This is where I come in. The technology these drones use have few suppliers, both for millimeter wave equipment and high purity germanium.

germanium, the same suppliers that are the backbone of my industry. So what are they doing? Collecting information in how public will react, PSYOP, and testing their ability to sweep a port city like New York for dirty bombs. This actually seems rather plausible. That's why it went viral. This individual is saying there's not a dirty bomb. There's not a nuke. It's a testing operation. And the reason they're not telling you what's going on is they need to know how the public reacts to a lack of information. And they need to see what these drones can actually pick up.

Jersey was chosen because we're the closest port to New York City and New York would be too dense for reliable millimeter wave communications. But why is DOD silent again? Because in a scenario where we have a threat of a dirty bomb and the public doesn't yet know, the DOD needs to know how the public would react if these were deployed to sweep a city. What many don't realize is Ukraine is the reason we're here.

That was the first time we deployed them in a combat zone, but make no mistake, they're for protecting the homeland as DOD bought hundreds of thousands to act as swarms capable of sweeping a city. I'm sorry for the typos. I'm on the train without my glasses and it's very bumpy. I had to get this off my chest as all day I'm hearing people genuinely afraid of the drones.

Wow. That is millimeter wave frequency. Indeed it does. So higher frequencies, higher

have shorter ranges. Mesh communications make sense because one drone, so if you have four drones, the range is not going to be particularly great in broadcast. The lower the frequency, the further it can go, but the less data it can carry. So if they're using very high frequency, that seems very high. I'm not an expert on this, but that's a very high frequency. Then drone one tells drone two, who tells drone three and tells drone four, creating a mesh network so they can communicate rapidly.

He says, I'm not a military expert, but spent a third of my career as an RF engineer. We only hired in military, telecom, finance, etc. Make no mistake, a dirty bomb is or was until now the greatest threat to America. A few going off in New York City and central L.A. would cripple us. The evidence we'd need to respond in kind would be impossible to get in time or at all.

All our toys would be worthless with no target. Oh, and how do I know they're not foreign owned? Well, because I'm I'm confident they're HPG drones. But even if you don't believe me, you can see they have bright lights on them to keep our air traffic safe. Something an enemy wouldn't care about. Completely agree. So again, I don't I don't know for sure. It's a thread on the Internet. But take a look at this stuff.

I'm going to play this video from ABC. You know, when things like this are happening, it seems everyone starts to look up like my crew and I have been here in Mendham recording this video that you're looking at right now. We have no idea what it is, if it's a natural phenomenon, because it could be. But this is why so many municipalities are now asking people to reach out and send their videos to them or to experts.

Okay, so on the screen, there is a strange pulsating orb that looks like it's a static ball flying in the sky.

I had to tell you, but people are looking up for the first time and many of them with cameras. We have reader added context here. Former fighter pilot and C.W. Lemoine points out that when the full video is seen, the strobing lights of an airliner are seen. The point being distant and out of focus gives it the orb like appearance appearance. This is a common issue in viewing distant objects like stars and planes. Yep.

This is what happens when you point a camera and zoom in on a plane. It's out of focus. And so what should be a point of light widens because it's blurry. And that is normal.

Now, we are getting crazy stories, however. People are starting to freak out. The mass hysteria is going wild. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio shut down due to unauthorized drone activity in the area, which says to me, if anything, this is a training operation combined with consumer-grade drone use, combined with mass hysteria, and probably an effort

by powerful government interests, you know, members of Congress or otherwise, who want to get laws put in place over drone use. That's it. At the very least, maybe they want funding for drone programs. So we're hearing now that New York is deploying a drone early detection system due to these sightings. You see how this works? You get mass hysteria, whether it's true or wrong, whether it's legit or it's fake.

You can have necessary over something that's really happening, but you get a lot of people freaking out and asking these questions. Then the city can come in and say, due to the possible threat of foreign adversaries or who knows what these drones are, we need drone detection systems installed in our cities to monitor them. They're also going to want to put into place restrictions on drones and tighten up who's allowed to fly them. That's going to be extremely important moving forward as we start getting into the drone delivery system era.

So in the early days of flight, imagine this. It's 100 years ago. You are in where you are. You're in North Carolina in the Outer Banks and you're trying to fly and you build a device that can.

What I hear is that when they were first trying to figure out how to fly, they wanted to turn by turning left and right like in a car. Then they realized it's all about banking, and that changed everything. And so there were general ideas people had about gliding, and we understood this a little bit. And then finally, they figured it out, the airfoil.

They're flying around with no regulation and people just saw them fly overhead. And it was kind of wild to watch. Now we have very dense cities and jets and other flying devices. So we very much have to regulate this space. Less people will be crashing and a whole bunch of other crazy nonsense would be happening.

Drones are in their Model T phase. It's very, very early. And people are flying drones like crazy all over the place. In the early days of drone flight, I could launch my drone from anywhere for any reason. But we weren't stupid enough to fly it near an airport, although people did. So the FAA comes in and they say, guys, these are aircraft. They are.

So there's going to be restrictions overnight without my understanding is there were no laws passed. They just said flying an aircraft requires a license and you had to be a pilot to fly a license. The funny thing is I was consulting the government and they were like, OK, now we have rules about who's allowed to fly and you can't. And I'm like, my guy, I'm consulting you like you asked me to give him expertise. I fly drones. And they were like, well, you need a pilot's license now.

I thought it was funny. And that's that's typically where I ended my drone journey. We did. We did a bunch of experimenting and hacking with drones. We were using ground drones. My friends, I had this little device as a toy and you could throw it. And it was a ball with two big wheels and a camera and it would bounce and land upright. And it filmed. And I was like, so in news events, you could throw this. You get a decent range and you could have it go around and film stuff. It was fun. And we did that with aerial drones as well.

With consumer grade drone use expanding, and there's no there's no wireless underwater drones because these frequencies can't penetrate water. They have wired underwater drones. With this expansion, the government is going to want to lock this stuff down. But with a massive consumer potential, they don't want to backlash from many people who are in this industry. So you need a panic first. I'm not saying they manufactured the panic, man. I don't know. But I don't think the conspiracy theories are real. Let's just hope they're not.

The fear is Trump's about to get into office. So maybe I doubt it, though. You know, it's funny as a lot of people. Well, I'll leave it there. I'll leave it there. I don't think these things are these conspiracy theories and these stories. They don't really, really pan out. I mean, that would be nuts, right? But who knows? I can only tell you, stay safe, stay vigilant, and we'll see. Maybe we won't. I don't know. But I'll wrap it up there. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone. You know, we got more segments coming up for you next one at noon. Thanks for hanging out. We'll see you all then.

Last week, CNN came under fire for what appeared to be a staged video in which one of their reporters rescues a man from a prison. And the man reportedly was in a windowless cell for three months. He did not eat or drink for five days, yet his fingernails were perfectly trimmed. He had a nice beard line. His skin was thick and hydrated. And when he exited the building, he looked up and said, the light, the light.

As everybody knows, even after a few hours in the darkness, bright lights hurt. But sure, they were largely accused of staging the whole thing. But now it's getting worse. CNN is being accused of accidentally committing treason.

Yo, this is wild. A new story from the New York Post says prisoner that CNN helped free from Syrian prison was actually notorious Assad regime torturer. OK, all right. We need to look at what the definition of treason is. But adhering to a nation's enemies and providing them aid and comfort typically falls under that umbrella.

And with this report coming out, it may be that this CNN reporter accidentally committed treason. Now, I don't actually know if Clarissa Ward is an American citizen or whatever, and I'm being somewhat tongue in cheek. The issue is the U.S. is largely opposed to the Assad regime. Assad has fled the country, issuing a statement saying it wasn't his intention. But Syrian soldiers had abandoned Tartus. So Russia evacuated him.

I don't know about Claire. Claire's award is the reporter. She's been accused of fabricating stories in the past. But if it is true that she aided a notorious Assad regime torturer and the United States does consider the Assad regime to be enemies of this country, then she has just freed this man. And there you go now. OK, OK. Accidental treason is not treason. It's just silly, maybe accidentally. But the idea would be

A traitor is someone who intentionally is going to assist like an Assad regime torturer. I think what we have here in this story is CNN's willingness and desperation. As the ratings continue to spiral, they will do and say anything to try and win an Emmy and get some ratings. And in this regard, a story that is obviously fake, they either willfully participated in the make-believe scenario, knowing, well, it's probably not real, or they were in on the whole thing from the get-go.

Regardless, the core of the story right now is that according to a report, CNN did not just free a prisoner who was left behind. They freed an enemy of the state, an Assad regime torturer.

You know, I was thinking this could be the case, because if you're looking at why they so the story is they go in this prison. It's been cleared out. The Assad regime has collapsed and they find one cell. They're like, we're going to shoot the lock off. And they're like, turn the camera off. Like, we must turn the camera off while he's shooting off the lock, which is like not really a thing. Firing rifles in a small hallway that's about five feet wide at a metal lock of some sort certainly would injure somebody. But sure, that's what they did. Turn the camera off, which makes no sense.

And they go in and find this guy who's like, oh, I've been here for three months or whatever. And you notice thinking to myself, I was like, you know, first, it seems like CNN is just in on the staging, whatever this is. Maybe not, though. Maybe what happened is they're trying to evacuate a guy who worked for Assad, who was left behind for some reason. And so they have him pretend to be a prisoner being freed so that he can get evacuated and get out without rebels being none the wiser.

Well, here's the story from the New York Post. The prisoner who CNN helped for the prisoners seen and helped free from a secret facility in Syria was actually a notorious member of Bashar al-Assad's forces known to torture those who refused to pay him off, according to a shocking local fact check. The network went viral last week with footage of the startled prisoner being led from the prison by journalist Clarissa Ward, who called it one of the most extraordinary moments I have witnessed this in her 20 years of reporting. Now, I'm sorry. She knows it's fake.

I don't think there's a reasonable world in which someone looked at this and said it was real. Anybody pretending it is lying. And I do not believe her for a second. They want to say, but independent and unbiased fact checkers checkers at Verify Psy published a detailed report Sunday saying that the seemingly innocent prisoner was actually Salama Mohammed Salama.

Two of the same name, a first lieutenant in Syrian Air Force intelligence with a long history of alleged war crimes. Quote, We have subsequently been investigating his background and are aware that he may have given a false identity. CNN acknowledged to the post. We are continuing our reporting into this and the wider story. Talk about the stupidest people or it's intentional. I don't know. Maybe they want us to think that they're just stupid.

The CNN story last week showed warden camera crew escorted by a rebel fighter visiting a former Syrian Air Force intelligence headquarters in Damascus and freeing the man who was found under a blanket locked in a windowless cell. Here's one idea. It could be that they, as they were evacuating, did lock this guy in like a day ago or something like this so that when these reporters or whoever showed up, he could say, I'm just a civilian prisoner and then get out because he had no other means of escape.

Verify side noted, however, that he appeared well-groomed, physically healthy with no visible injuries or signs of torture. An incongruous portrayal of someone allegedly held in solitary confinement in the dark for 90 days. He also did not flinch or blink even when gazing up at the sky, despite having said he had not seen sunlight for three months. Verify side then found that there was no record of an Adel Gerbal in the region, leading to his true identity, Salama.

Known as Abu Hamza, Salama worked at several security checkpoints in Homs and was involved in theft, extortion and coercing residents into becoming informants for Assad. Local residents told fact checkers he also killed civilians during the Syrian civil war in 2014 and allegedly detained and tortured young men on bogus charges, many of whom refused to pay bribes. Wow.

Locals claim he was locked up in the prison where he was discovered for less than a month due to a dispute with a high ranking officer over sharing the extorted money. Honestly, this does make sense. I doubt they shot a lock off the door. He's sitting feet from it. He is clearly not malnourished or dehydrated, which means he had food or water in the past few days. None of this makes sense.

Salama was freed by the rebel fighters, fed a meal and later taken away by EMTs in the CNN report. CNN denies allegations that the piece was fabricated. No one other than the CNN team was aware of our plans to visit the prison. Prison building featured in our report that day. These events transpired as they appear in our film. Yes, but you could be dumb as a box of rocks. Now, the first thing I want to say is this.

Are the question is, is this accidental treason? Well, I guess the first question is Clarissa Ward's citizenship. Right. She's British American. OK. Born in 1980. She works for CNN. So apparently they say she is an American U.S. intervention in the Syrian civil war.

They say on September 22nd, 2014, the U.S. officially intervened in the civil war, saying it was to stop ISIS. But they currently support the Syrian Free Army, an obstinate faction.

And the Kurdish led Syrian Democratic Forces opposed to the Islamic State and Bashar al-Assad. That is to say, we are aligned with a faction at war with Assad. Now, I don't know that the U.S. has declared any kind of functional war against him. So, OK, fine. Assisting one of Assad's top dudes, I mean a top dude, but one of his Air Force intelligence guys, a member of his military, is certainly aiding an enemy. But OK, OK, it's a little tongue in cheek. Treason is defined as...

specifically levying war against the U.S. or adhering to its enemies, giving them aid and comfort. Suffice it to say, my friends, I'm pretty sure that Clarissa Ward was getting aid and comfort to this man. All right. I know. I know. It's a stretch. Usually when we're talking about trees, we're talking about they intentionally went to provide aid to Assad's forces and they weren't just reporting like morons. I think the reality here is if I was going to make a bet,

I'd say likely that the Syrians in the region set this up intentionally to get this guy evacuated or something like this. CNN probably thought it didn't make sense, but didn't care anyway. Any reasonable editor who's going to watch that video is going to be like, this guy's been in for three months. What they probably said was, guys,

I don't know if it's real or not, but they said it. So let's just report it because our ratings are in the gutter. And now here we are talking all about CNN. Well, the end is nigh for these companies. I will stress that despite our mockery of CNN's utter failures, I don't think it's just over.

I don't think the Democratic Party, the establishment just says, guess we guess we lose. That makes no sense. Trump won in 2016. They didn't stop then. Why would they stop now? And as they say things like we need our own Joe Rogan, I give you all a warning. They can make one. You see, Joe has merit. He's a funny guy. He built up the biggest podcast. Fantastic. Many others did as well. But where is any kind of organized effort? There exists none.

Uniparty establishment has tremendous resources. They dwarf us and they could certainly take $100 million easily and create a left wing Joe Rogan by cutting backroom deals with YouTube and other big social media corporations. Although X is a limiting factor. Thank you, Elon Musk. But the uniparty establishment could very easily go on YouTube, take one of these liberal personalities, put $50 million behind them in marketing and make them ubiquitous.

They then try and pull like a Fetterman approach where they still side with everything Democrats are doing, but say, oh, geez, oh, me, oh, my. Oh, yeah. So don't be surprised if you get fake authenticity sophistry at the highest level. That sounds reasonable. But when they dump all that money behind it, I'm saying I don't think CNN is just down and out yet, or at least not the powers behind it now.

Now, we have this article from just a couple days ago. U.S. airstrikes in Syria meant to prevent Islamic State from taking power in leadership void. If the U.S. is currently bombing Syrian regime forces, I just want to stress again, we're at war with them. And Clarissa Ward was providing aid and comfort to an enemy. CNN's announced they're going to launch an investigation into the claims that the Assad jail rescue was fake.

Writing CNN has launched an investigation to report a close awards viral rescue of a hidden prisoner who said he was left in one of the prison jail cells for three months. Blah, blah, blah. They said, quote, despite the purported. I'm sorry. This is verify. I want to get the CNN issued a statement. Do they do they not have it in here?

Here we go. No one other than the CNN team was aware of our plans to visit the prison building featured in our report that day. The events transpired as they appear in our film. The decision to release the prisoner featured in our report was taken by the guard, a Syrian rebel. We reported the scene as it unfolded, including what the prisoner told us with clear attribution. However, the spokesperson acknowledged the prisoner may have given Ward a fake name.

We have subsequently been investigating his background and are aware that he may have given a false identity. We are continuing our reporting into this and the wider story. You guys are so dumb. OK, CNN either is stupid enough to publish this fake garbage or they knew the whole time and published the fake garbage anyway and then got caught. Take a look. This is Verify Sci. Did CNN fabricate the story of freeing a prisoner from a secret jail?

Um, well, at the very least, they were willfully complicit in the reporting of what is obviously fake. Now, the question may be then why would CNN do it? Well, because they're dying. Look at this from Yahoo Finance, Bazinga. CNN and MSNBC ratings plunge by half, reaching 30 year lows and billionaires are paying attention. I'll come back to this because I got a warning for all this use. OK.

Now, over here, over at Adweek, let's take a look at the Friday ratings, December 6th. So we're jumping back about a week and a half, but this is what we do to get the ratings to come in late. The Five ends the week as the most watched show with over 4 million total viewers. White House with Nicole Wallace finished as MSNBC's most watched program and Out Front with Aaron Burnett was first for CNN. Those three shows repeated their victories in the 20 to 20, 20, 25 to 54 demo.

Well, they talk about millions, four million. They say it's very big, but that's 70 years or older. And with all due respect, the next election cycle, the next two election cycles are going to be massive. And I'm sorry, these networks are done now. Certainly right now, they're massively important because the older demo votes in huge numbers. The question I have, however, is what

Are the older generation, the silent generation and the boomers voting in large numbers because they're old and old people start to vote? Or is it that when these people were younger, they voted in higher numbers? That's the interesting question. I think typically they claim that younger voters are disinterested and don't vote. But I have to wonder, is that a generational thing? Meaning if you go back 50 years, were these silent generation types voting in comparable percentages? One could easily check. I don't know the answer. You can look it up.

But anyway, I digress. Right now, we are looking at the end of a massive era.

CNN, you're done. This is wild. Just Adweek, how dare you say that they have victories in the adults 25 to 54 demo? Are you kidding me? Let's take a look at this. Let's try the 8 p.m. hour. Anderson Cooper's got 86,000 in the key demo. Wow. Timcast IRL does like 700,000. Wow.

Yeah, this weekend we went to UFC. It was amazing. Shout out to Benny Johnson, Dana White, Aiden Ross. Got to meet him. That was pretty cool. And his dad. Shout out to Aiden Ross's dad. He watches the show. It was really incredible to be there. I am humbled. I am but a humble internet whinger sitting there literally next to the ring watching this amazing fight. Many amazing fights. And shout out to Colby Covington and Joaquin Buckley. Wow. It was brutal. For those that didn't see it, the doctor ended the fight. Amen.

Ah, man. Now, Colby was on the ropes for sure. He was the underdog. But he only, the fight only ended because he got a cut over his eye and the blood was everywhere. I digress.

The reason I bring this up is that this is the true cultural hub, okay? I'm sitting there. Hulk Hogan was there. Dana White, Benny Johnson, Chris Povlovsky, CEO of Rumble, Aiden Ross and his dad, a bunch of other people were there. Anna Polina Luna, Byron Donalds. We got great photos. And I'm sitting there watching this being like UFC is the sport of the movement. This is the crowd. This is what matters. And I am humbled to have been invited to such an event to sit literally VIP ringside. It's crazy.

It's crazy. You look at CNN and the question I have then is, why am I talking about it? Right. Why are we talking about it? You know, I was talking to Benny about this. I was like, my dude. First, as I've been saying for a long time, the empire will strike back that I get. So maybe it's OK that we we criticize them as much as we can for the time being. But there's got to be infrastructure and organizational power behind what it is we're doing.

We can't just be a bunch of chickens running around randomly because it's going to be way too easy for the powers that be to reassert narrative control. And I do think so. They are going to go to some of these big YouTubers who have proven the ability to get these views and they're going to offer them money and they are going to combine them all and make a network and YouTube is going to play ball. And then the conservatives...

That YouTube is going to basically be like, nah, you guys are far right. You're out. There's got to be a comparable pushback so that YouTube doesn't and we get a bounce in the force, as it were. But take a look at CNN's ratings. You'll wonder why it is they're losing their minds. Jake Tapper, 85,000 at 4 p.m., 5 p.m., 68,000. Well, shout out to Aaron Burnett with 110,000. You're almost one seventh the size of Timcast IRL, but congratulations.

It is kind of crazy because when they say they have millions of viewers, the five on Fox News, where's the five? Gutfeld. Oh, they're four hundred and fifty two thousand. I got to be honest. I watch the five. I do. I it is kind of cringe how they have these like these liberal people on it all the time. But I get why they do it. I do. I do. And they're not the worst, but they're not right. But it's OK. The five is a good show. I do like it.

Look at this in the key demo. Hannity gets 214,000. Gutfeld gets 279,000. I got to be honest. This is absolutely wild to see how the ratings have dropped so massively.

And, you know, I kind of had this this, you know, during these conversations we were having, the reason the main reason I went down to UFC was like to have these conversations. UFC is the sport of the movement. It's incredible to watch. It is indescribable watching those fights in person. It really is. You know, I watch them on TV, but watching them there in person, it is so different. It's amazing. And I'm sitting there with all these media people. We're having these discussions around where everything is going. And that's kind of the point.

And then you start to realize, like, guys, like in eight years, this that we are looking at is gone, gone completely. So what is going to happen between now and then? This is our moment. Trump may have won. Republicans may have won redistricting the House, held Republicans back a little bit, but they did get everything.

The question then becomes, what do we do? Because we led this charge and we said you woke is broke and the left is nuts. And people heard and they agreed because we weren't wrong. But what do we do now to ensure that we do not falter and let the powers that be reassemble their troops and strike back?

Looking at all of this stuff that they look CNN, even including their 70 plus viewers are it's still smaller than Tim Kesson IRL. I'm not saying that to like brag or be like, look how famous I'm. I'm saying like we're doing it. We're taking over.

Now, to be fair, MSNBC still rivals us. And now there are other shows that are bigger. Don't get me wrong. But yo, check this out. When you check the streaming charts, Timcast IRL is the biggest primetime live show on YouTube on average. We're not always the top, but we average out because we do streams Monday through Friday. And so that allows us to basically beat out other people who do specials that get way more viewership. And they do and they do.

Pat McAfee usually is bigger than us on YouTube, but he's a morning sports show. Shout out. Don't watch it, but credit where credit is due. And then on Rumble, you got Crowder and Bongino getting massive numbers. But on YouTube, different channel, different network, we've got our viewership. You take a look at what the corporate press is pulling off, and it is gutter trash. Now, Fox News nails it, but the important thing to understand is that Fox News is a concentration.

How many channels on cable, on network TV, are actually going to tell you what Fox News tells you? In which case, Fox is getting a concentration of right-leaning individuals because they're basically the only game in town. I know there's OAN, and there's other channels a little bit better than some, but for the most part, Fox is where you go. You look at CNN, MSNBC getting these numbers, and it is decentralized because there's a bunch of other shows they could watch. There's ABC, there's CBS, etc. But even including the oldest viewers...

CNN is still smaller than us. We have officially taken the reins. Do you think they will sit idly by? They will not. Billionaires are paying attention. Now, what does that mean? Now, as we talk about their collapse and the money they're spending, blah, blah, blah. CNN is falling. Independent media rises. The one thing I will stress as CNN and MSNBC lose ratings and Fox grows and we grow and other independent and conservative channels grow.

It shows this is an effect of people abandoning the liberals. But it is also largely a shift in the in the in the medium. They want to say as left leaning audiences tune out from CNN and MSNBC, many turn to independent media for their news platforms like the David Pakman show and secular talk are seeing audience stabilize or grow as viewers seek more authentic voices. Unlike corporate media, independent outlets don't have layers of executives and advertisers influencing their content.

Which resonates with disillusioned viewers. Pac-Man himself has noted that the current collapse of CNN and MSNBC reflects a broader trend. Increasingly, they are turning to independent media where they feel they can get honest, genuine coverage from people that they can trust. Although I believe that Pac-Man is rather disingenuous and...

There's a funny clip. Kyle Kalinske has also lost his mind. But Majority Report's Emma Vigeland, apparently there's a post, I didn't watch it, but she said that she came on IRL with the intent, or on culture, I'm sorry, the intent of never getting invited back again. Because these people are liars. They're not honest. They're shock jock WWE. But I think that will lend us some credibility moving into this new era against these folks. But you know what's going to happen? You

You see the sophistry within their channels. And they talk about how we don't have the backing that the right wing media does. Yeah, they're going to get it. They've been demanding it and they're going to get it. You are going to see Democratic infrastructure and these creepo billionaire. Look, these Democrat billionaires are going to dump money into this. I'm telling you, they're going to mention Fox News, blah, blah, blah. But the billionaires are taking notice. My friends, mark my words. We can mock CNN all day and night.

But moves have to be made. And so once again, as I've mentioned quite a bit, we're talking we're talking business with a few people. I am trying to figure out what is that path forward to cultural domination?

And I take a look at the values that we have. Those of you who watch my show but agree or disagree, we still largely agree on many of these core principles. And though we disagree, the conversation is important to have. You take a look at the sophists and the liars, and they seek just to steal power.

Stay tuned. We got more segments coming up and we'll see you all shortly. Donald Trump has just won $15 million in a defamation lawsuit settlement with ABC News and George Stephanopoulos. You see, Stephanopoulos falsely claimed that a jury agreed Trump or found Trump liable for raping a woman when, in fact, it is not correct. And that is defamation per se. That's a bold claim to make about somebody. Now,

Now, I know what Donald Trump plans to do with this $15 million. And for those that don't, you're in for a beautiful, beautiful surprise. The story just gets better and better. But before we read all this, I'll just say a few things. The first, I have a question for all of you at home.

Comment below. What would you do with 15 million dollars? Now, I wonder this. I wonder this about Donald Trump, a billionaire, a man who has enriched himself to billions more thanks to truth social, a man who is president and who gives up his salary. He certainly does not need it. What could a man like him possibly do with 15 million dollars?

Well, again, like I said, you just just wait until you see what what this is going to be. And all the victories just keep pouring in. I just want to say to Donald Trump in my comment on his settlement is ha ha ha ha ha. But what would you do? I know a lot of you would probably say, you know, I got to pay off medical bills, pay off my credit cards, maybe pay off the mortgage on my house, buy a new car or or just for once relax a little bit.

Take two weeks with your family and your friends to just enjoy life without a care in the world. $15 million. I mean, I got to be honest, guys.

Anybody knows anything about finance and investment? You get $15 million today. You invest it properly with the good like wealth management firm. You don't have to work for the rest of your life. Now, you're not going to live like a king or anything, but you could probably get, I don't know, a six figure salary, six figure off of that, six figures per year in income. If you're if you're managing it properly, more maybe. The question then becomes, what does Donald Trump do with it? Oh, man, I love, love, love this story. The news.

ABC News, one of its leading hosts, George Stephanopoulos, agreed with President-elect Donald Trump to settle Trump's defamation lawsuit against them, avoiding a potentially costly trial court filings release Saturday show. ABC News will pay $15 million by December 24th as a charitable contribution towards a future presidential foundation and museum for Trump.

Oh, that is the greatest thing I've ever heard. Okay, so they lied about him. Justice and accountability. And Donald Trump is going to make them build a museum and statue for him. Oh, and they're really mad too. Like MSNBC is losing their mind. ABC news staffers are furious. Like, how could you have paid this? We don't even get paid that well. Oh, it's so glorious.

The U.S. District Court of the Southern District of Florida also ordered ABC News and Stephanopoulos to add an editor's note to a March 10th, 2024 article within 24 hours. The note, according to the settlement, will state that ABC News and George Stephanopoulos regret statements regarding President Donald J. Trump made during an interview by George Stephanopoulos with Nancy Mace on ABC's This Week, March 10th, 2024. Both defendants were ordered to also pay $1 million in attorney's fees to Trump's counsel no later. So Trump's going to get a couple million cash later.

Donald, you don't need this money, but take the family out for something nice. He doesn't need the two million dollars to do it. But I want to see Donald Trump have a two million dollar dinner with his family just because it's paid for by these people.

We are pleased that the parties have reached an agreement to dismiss the lawsuit of the terms in the court filing ABC News said. Stephanopoulos had repeatedly pressed Mace over the lawmakers support for Trump, despite her personal story of suffering rape in teenage years. Donald Trump has been found liable for rape by a jury. Donald Trump has been found liable for defaming the victim of that rape by a jury. It's it's been affirmed by a judge. I mean, that's all false. And he iterated and reiterated and stated like, yes, yes.

It was not a criminal court case. Number one, number two, I live with shame. And you're asking me a question about my political choices trying to shame me as a rape victim. I wonder if they have that story about the ABC News staff of the suit, because apparently the ABC News isn't going to write about it. But the apparently, oh, man, everybody's writing about it. They are so pissed off. Apparently, ABC News staff are losing their minds over this one.

Mother Jones has the story why the ABC News settlement with Trump is complicated. The defamation lawsuit center and comments anchor George Stephanopoulos made about the outcome of a civil lawsuit against Trump brought by writer E. Jean Carroll.

And they say they're going to pay it out, blah, blah, blah. Stephanopoulos was referring to a lawsuit brought by E. Jean Carroll. And as Katie wrote, the jurors did not find that Carroll had proven rape. Judge Lewis Kaplan explained, does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump raped her, as many people commonly understand the word rape. Indeed.

As the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Mr. Trump did, in fact, did exactly that. Federally, rape is defined as I'm not going to. Yeah, you have to actually engage in the activities. And that's not what the jury found. The judge made a bold statement. Blah, blah, blah. Well, here we here we currently are with and wokeness.

saying MSNBC just repeated the same lie that forced ABC to pay 15 million to Trump. Listen to this. I mean, this feels like it has a real chilling effect. Like, I mean, shout out to the standards department. OK, standards is always making sure that we are keeping the bar high and substantive and accurate. But.

what George Stephanopoulos said in that interview. I mean, it seems to hold up with what the judge said after the fact. And now his news organization and himself, George Stephanopoulos himself, is paying a million dollars of his own money to... Uh-oh. Oh, boy. Donald Trump, I...

I humbly request you sue MSNBC. I can already hear the armchair lawyers saying, Tim, no, because what she said was that the judge essentially said, confirm. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's listen to that one more time, ladies and gentlemen. Said in that interview, substantive and accurate. But what George Stephanopoulos said in that interview, I mean, it it seems to hold up with the judge after the fact. And now he's. Uh-uh-uh.

George Stephanopoulos said a jury found him guilty of rape. The judge said the law is a bit different, but this does seem, you know, to be exactly. I think we have let's make sure we get the the actual quote. The jurors did not find, quote, the jurors did not find that Carol had proven rape.

So for MSNBC to then come out and say the judge effectively said exactly that or that he confirmed something is not true. Not true.

As many people commonly understand the word rape, indeed, as the evidence trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump, in fact, did exactly that. The thing here is the judge opining on what he thinks one could argue is not, in fact, what the jury said. So I think MSNBC is probably going to get away with this one. I don't think Trump's going to file another lawsuit, though he should.

Then we have this case, but this beautiful segment from everyone's favorite CNN, Jim Acosta and Brian Stelter, who are awful, awful people. But let's hear. It's not the case, but I just feel and I wonder how you feel.

about that aspect of all of this. I mean, to me, it seems this is a time for our industry to stand firm. And we're going to have a very important job to do. And that's not putting us on a pedestal or anything like that, but we're going to have a very important job to do because Trump is not going to change his ways when he gets back in the Oval Office. He's going to continue to say things that need to be fact-checked. And you can't have the news industry worrying about this sort of stuff when they're just simply doing their jobs.

Actually, that's what you do worry about all the time in the news industry. I know I run a large news company.

Well, if some bend the knee, others have to stand up straighter. You know, the former Time magazine editor Richard Sengel said this morning, Trump has sued dozens of publications and media outlets in the past trying to, quote, intimidate the press into self-censorship, not to actually win any particular case. He did win in this case with a big payment. But that broader concern about self-censorship is one that I know many viewers and readers are worried about. And ultimately, Jim, as you know, we work for them. We work for the viewers, not for anybody else.

That's right. These are the worst human. Brian Stelter, I hope you see this. You are a liar and you are evil. But I know that you don't care because, you know, you lie all the time as well.

That's what you do. And you're proud of it. These people don't know or care about the future. They care only for extracting as much as they can to burn everything down. They stand there and say, oh, oh, we're so terrified of self-censorship. That's what Trump is trying to push. I can reframe that for you, buddy. How about the truth? Donald Trump filed defamation, a defamation suit against Stephanopoulos and ABC because they were wrong and he wanted them to retract.

They want to fight. They can pay. If you call that self-censorship, I say bravo. If individuals like you or Jim want to lie on TV and now you're terrified that getting sued will make you self-censor your lies, then perhaps we will just go ahead and accept that. Here's the reality. New York passed a law.

specifically so that people like E. Jean Carroll could sue 30 years later with no evidence. And there was no evidence. And New York being a corrupt garbage place says, fine, there's no evidence, but we'll take it. Imagine that a story that literally made no sense.

The story goes that Trump was at the Bergdorf Goodman or whatever the place is called, and they went to the second floor to a dressing room. The door was inconspicuously unlocked and there was no one around in Manhattan. And Donald Trump owned the hotel across the street. And though E.G. Carroll was wearing a dress that hadn't even been released at that time, there's no evidence. The story makes no sense. But here we are.

You guys want to lie and play these stupid games. By all means, go ahead and do so. But that's why your ratings are in the trash can. And the only reason anyone's going to see that clip of you, Brian, is because I and others are rebroadcasting it to make fun of you. Thank you for being the butt of our jokes. I'll wrap it up there.

In a breaking news press conference, Donald Trump has called on Joe Biden to stop auctioning off the border wall.

And this is real. A story that broke, I believe, about a week ago from The Daily Wire. Joe Biden is selling the border wall off. Donald Trump says it's going to cost us way more money. He's selling these things for pennies on the dollar. And my friends, I believe it is fair to say that Joe Biden is doing everything in his power to make sure we lose our opportunities. And they hinder Donald Trump to the best of their abilities. Meanwhile, their sophists, their liberal pundit class are lying about what's happening in

in order to justify why they were right the whole time. Let's put it this way. They keep saying Donald Trump can't get grocery prices down. Donald Trump can't do this, that or otherwise. And Joe Biden and the current administration are the cause of why that may be. Now, I know, I know they're going to say, aha, that's your excuse. No, I still think Trump will be largely successful. I think deregulating the energy sector is going to drop prices quite a bit. But come on, this is the game they're playing.

Selling off the border wall for pennies in the dollar means it's going to cost way more money to reestablish these to get these materials and rebuild. So what's been happening is the materials that are not I believe it's the parts that are not yet installed. He's selling off those materials. Buying them will cost more. So Donald Trump issues a press conference politely asking Joe, please stop selling the border wall. Here we go.

In a Monday morning press conference from Mar-a-Lago, President-elect Donald Trump called for outgoing President Joe Biden to cease the selling of unused southern border wall materials. I'm asking Joe Biden to please stop selling the wall. We're going to use it to create a strong barrier. Well, we have the clip. Let's play the full video. Really terrible. We spent a tremendous amount of money on building the wall. The wall was designed specifically by the Border Patrol because it's very hard to climb.

They need to have see-through. They need it to be steel because you can't cut... It's very powerful steel. It's very hard steel. It's a special type of steel, but very, very hard to cut. Inside the steel, as you know, we pour concrete, and that's a grade 10 concrete, which is a very strong concrete, very...

as though you were building about a 60-story building. It's very powerful concrete. They've made tremendous technology advances in the word concrete. Who would think that? But I know that from the construction industry. Today, what you can do with concrete is incredible. So we have a very strong concrete. And then we have a rebar. We put rebar inside the concrete.

And the rebar, likewise, is very hard to cut. So it's a very expensive process, very expensive wall. And then we put an anti-climb plate on the top. You saw that. And I didn't like the look of it. But then when I watched, we had people testing. We had mountain climbers actually testing. And they were not able to get over the anti-climb plate. So I said, all right, I guess we're going to put it on. That plate on top, which I never loved the look of it, but...

It works so unbelievably well, you have to do it. So we spent a lot of money on building it, and we have hundreds of miles that we put up. A lot of people don't realize, but we did 571 miles of wall. That's why we had such good records, in addition to the fact that Mexico helped us with their military. They kept people out, and they were actually very good under the past leader.

But now we had we ordered an additional 200 miles of wall. It's very expensive. And now it's about double the price of what it would have been six years ago. And that's that's the inflation. That's an important point, too. Administration is trying to sell it for five cents on the dollar, knowing that we're getting ready to put it up. And what they're doing is really an act. It's almost it's almost a criminal act.

They know we're going to use it. And if we don't have it, we're going to have to rebuild it. And it'll cost double what it cost years ago. And that's hundreds of millions of dollars because you're talking about a lot of wall. I built much more than I said I was going to build. But then after it was built, I said, you know, we can do...

some more because it's sort of like water people flow through. Indeed, indeed. So there we go. He says, you know, please stop selling off this wall.

He says, that's why our numbers look so good. I'm asking Joe Biden to stop his people from giving it away. Now, the story, this is from December 12th. So just about four days ago, Biden races to sell off border wall parts before Trump takes office. The goal is to move all of it off the border before Christmas. Arizona Border Patrol agents tell the Daily Wire, why would they do it? I'm sorry, man. You can come to me all day and night and say back to blue no matter who. And I'm just going to be like, nah,

Donald Trump will be coming into office in 36 days. And that's what they're saying, 36 at the number. If you're a Border Patrol agent right now and you are facilitating the dismantling of the border barrier that you know Trump is going to install, then Trump should fire you.

There's two ways to look at it right now. In one month, Trump is the president. OK, hopefully barring anything crazy. And if you're going to sit there and be like, no, no, ship it out, boys, let's bring it all in and get it going. Trump absolutely needs to come in and say who is in charge of this, who you you're fired, bring in somebody else. Now, if you're an agent and you say, I'm not going to be involved in this at all and I'm not going to help you dismantle our border barriers. The incoming president wants it. The people have a mandate for this.

Then Trump should say thank you for your service. It's not just about you have a boss telling you what to do. It's about what you're willing to do. And no one's forcing your hand. Now, Texas is stepping up. Texas Lieutenant Governor vows we will buy every piece of border wall Biden's selling and give it to Trump. Ha ha.

traitors to this country, leaving terrorists, leaving murderers, leaving rapists in this country. And now he wants to sabotage this president. That is a bold, bold statement. But see, that's what I'm talking about. Now, I know y'all are going to come and say, yeah, well, it's a politician. They can say these things and agents, they can get fired. How much you want to bet?

If you're a Border Patrol agent and they come in to sell off this wall and you say, I won't let you do it. And then they say you're fired. How much on about Trump hires you with a raise? This is you got to be brave. You got to stand up for what you believe in. You know, I know there's a lot of people who live in this world of of of order. I live. I prefer order and I think we must strive for it. But I do not believe it is ordered. And I don't mean like giving orders. I mean, like is structurally and logically sound to say in one month.

A president who won by popular mandate will build a wall, but we're going to assist in the destruction of it. You are clearly operating against the wishes of the American people. For what? I have a boss and my boss told me what to do. OK, well, Donald Trump is saying right now, please stop selling off this border wall. So who is facilitating this? Daily Wire reports.

After Daily Wire published an exclusive report revealing the Biden admin was racing to sell off parts of the border wall before Trump takes office, Texas GOP Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick fiercely declared his state was prepared to bid on every piece being sold and then give it directly to Trump. Trump made clear during his campaign that he intends to finish construction of the border wall, making use of the materials that have remained untouched at the border since President Joe Biden took office in 2021.

If the material brought to the border during his first term is sold off, it will significantly delay any progress on one of Trump's flagship campaign promises.

We mean business in Texas and Tom Holman means business and President Trump means business. Tom Holman is based. I love this guy when he's just was it like the governor of Ohio or I can't remember. No, it was like a mayor in Ohio. I can't remember who it was, but he was like, we're not going to assist in, you know, Trump's efforts to deport. He goes, OK, well, you go to jail with him. That's what I'm talking about. Tom Holman. That's what I'm talking about. You don't.

We don't want to live in a totalitarian dictatorship or authoritarian monstrosity, but we do need equality under the law, and we need people of good morals and goodwill. So when a politician, when a police officer breaks the law, you get someone like Tom Homan who says, I don't care who you are. If you break the law, you go to jail. That's what I'm talking about.

Message their White House right now. I will bet on all of that wall and we will buy it in Texas and we will give it to Donald Trump. So I'm going to find out first thing in the morning where we are going to take the bid. I got a billion dollars in my pocket to do it. I write the budget with Senator John John Huffman. We have the money. We're going to have about six billion in our budget for border security. We'll buy it. Dan, don't drive up the cost. Don't drive up the cost. It's only five bucks a piece of the wall.

I know and I will go in and buy it all. Patrick replied. I am not going to drive up the. What does this tell you about the Biden people? Ingram injected. They're essentially green lighting. They want more people coming in. Yes, I heard this this morning. The last four years was the largest mass migration in the history of the world. I don't know if that's true or not. I think they were sent on Fox and Friends. When you think about 10 to 15 million people, it's not unbelievable.

These people are absolutely despicable. Charlie Kirk with the story from last week. Great, great work on The Daily Wire for getting the story out. And I want to say this, too. One final thought on this one. I hope Trump gets the job done. OK, I'm glad he's calling out Joe Biden. But this right here is what I'm talking about. It is enough. We are done with waiting for The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN or whoever else to tell us what to talk about. This is the president. This is Fox News responding to The Daily Wire.

And I'm going to tell you about why this is important. It's really, really simple. It's one simple, small thing. Fox News had a vaccine mandate. That's my understanding of it. Many of these corporate results, they all did. And they may have tried to play this game of we oppose it. When Joe Biden tried forcing every company with a certain amount of employees to get the vaccine, Daily Wire sued them. So when you have a company that makes those moves, knowing who their audience is, that's who we want to set the narrative and who we want to win.

They and many others. I give a shout out to Rumble for their Rumble premium and the networks they're building, Daily Wire. Blaze is good. I've been thinking about who is going to rival the corporate press as they're faltering because they are not going to stop there. We will set the news cycle on this one. So when I say that, I say the Daily Wire is a relatively new company entering the space of an obvious moral difference with the corporate press. And it's about high time

We get more stories like this. So I'll leave it there. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. Become a member over at Timcast dot com to support all of the work we're doing. Follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast. And we will see you all in the next segment. Can the left build their own Joe Rogan? I see this clip from the majority report. Kyle Kalinske and Emma Vigeland talking about Joe Rogan, why Kyle Kalinske is going to war with Joe Rogan and everything he has, all of the issues he has with the man.

And in it, Emma Vigeland says that she went on my show with the intention of never getting invited back. Emma, you are always invited to come on this show. It's a laugh riot and we enjoy having you because when these liberals come on these shows, their ideas fall apart and we're we're totally here for it. In this viral clip, Kalkalinski basically says that Joe Rogan used to nod along with the leftist things he was saying. And then you'd have Ben Shapiro on and nod along with him as well because Joe Rogan's a moderate.

But he's like, it makes me look like a fool because he was just lying the whole time. They claim that Joe Rogan simply laundering propaganda. I got news for you guys. Perhaps you are wrong. If everywhere you go, you smell dog poop. Perhaps you should look at your boot.

But let me lay into these liberal pundits who, Kyle, we've invited you on the show numerous times. You won't do it. Now, I often am very respectful when I talk to these people and I say, I don't mind. I'm not going to cry when Hassan Piker refuses to come on the show. And he does. Or when Kyle Kalinske says, sure, maybe, but then doesn't. Or the same thing with David Pakman. We've been trying to get these people in here forever.

I don't complain because they host their own shows. People ask me to do their shows all the time and I just can't do it. I do host a show with guests and we do debates on the culture war. So we've created a space here where we can do it. But that doesn't mean Kyle Klinsky owes me anything. And if he's going to be hosting his own show and can't travel, I get it. I respect it. Now, that being said,

There are a lot of conservative personalities, even big names who will forego going on their shows to periodically come on Timcast IRL. So I don't think it's all that great of an excuse, but I will be nice. Let's play this clip and then we'll debunk and criticize the left's lies and their criticisms of Joe Rogan. Then you're fake independent. You're not real independent media. And I'm now going to war because what we saw is a lot of these people like Joe Rogan, you know,

I was there. I was on his show four or five times. He would sit there and nod in agreement when I would make anti-Trump arguments and arguments in favor of a left-wing worldview. Then three weeks later, Ben Shapiro would come on and say the exact opposite of me on every issue, and he would nod along in agreement.

And see, let me just start by debunking this. Certainly, if you make an argument to Joe and you say, actually, I think, you know, we should have universal basic income for these reasons. You can go, oh, yeah, that's interesting. You know, that makes a lot of sense. Then Ben Shapiro can come on and say, well, I certainly don't agree with having a universal basic income because, I mean, first of all, you can't spend other people's money. And then Joe, that's a good point, too. Like who's going to do the labor? Joe can entertain the ideas and explain why good points are being made. He's a moderate.

I'll tell you this. Famously, Dave Rubin went on Joe Rogan's show and said something about building regulation. And Joe was like, what are you talking about?

When Joe thinks that something doesn't make sense or there's not a good argument, he does challenge it. So let's not pretend it's not the case. Right. And so at some point you got to call spade to spade. You're not independent media and you're clearly just a vibes based voter. Right. You cocooned yourself in this right wing echo chamber where you got right leaning UFC people and right leaning comedians and Dana White, his boss, his super right wing and loves MAGA. He put himself in this echo chamber. COVID helped to break his brain. Cope. Cope harder, Kyle.

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Joe Rogan, Tim Pool, Dave Rubin? I mean, come on. The list goes on and on of all of the people who have left the left because the left went nuts. Elon Musk, Colin Wright. Need I say more?

Now, don't get me started on the classical liberal types who are too scared to say they left the left, whatever. You can leave the left and still be a coward. That's fine. But these people can't seem to get it through their skulls. Perhaps the skulls are too thick. There's a reason why people are saying the left has gone nuts. And it's not that they're trapped in a right wing echo chamber. You guys are in a cult is the problem. You can't seem to fathom that.

of these people recognizing similar things. Emma Vigeland came on my show, The Culture War, and defended adult graphic materials for children. Come on. Nobody agrees with that. Lance from the surfs came on and said a woman should be allowed to get an abortion whenever she wants. And I said, even at nine months, like whenever it's her choice. And I said, you know, can she do meth? And he goes, no, because that would intentionally kill the baby. Oh, what?

You see, it's moments like that where the left is exposed for having miserable ideas. I'm not gonna be wrong. The weird thing is I'm still largely a liberal guy myself. That's right. I've long said I'm probably like a traditional or social liberal, meaning I actually do think there can be successful government programs and there can be successful welfare programs. And I think there needs to be regulation. I just think we're well overregulated and our programs are broken and we need to weed out corruption.

But these people act like their ideas are unique to them, but they're so wrapped up in their cult, they can't listen to anybody else.

So I go on Piers Morgan and this woman says something deranged. This lady goes, Tim Pool's a COVID denier who then got COVID and sought ivermectin, which is absolutely 100 percent false. But guess what? You knew that because you watch the show. And no, I never denied COVID. I did get COVID. I rejected ivermectin. I told Joe Rogan I didn't think it did anything. And I have to be honest, I still don't think it does. I'm not a doctor. OK, as I talk, talk to a doctor.

Joe responded, no, it's a protease inhibitor. And that stops the virus. And I'm like, I think it's largely that the people who are taking were being cured of their parasites and worms in these other countries. So it did look like it was having a profound effect on covid. That seems to make more sense to me. Joe argued with me about it. But this guy's lying. Kyle, you are in a cult.

And then look at that. He goes full MAGA. And you know what? That makes me look like a jackass because I was the one going in there, taking him at face value, acting kind, holding his hand and walking him through it like he was a toddler on these topics. And then, wow, in retrospect, would you look at that? He completely flipped. I mean, we were defending him, unfortunately, way too late, right? When people were already on to, I don't know, man, you're saying a little bit more right-wing things here. And we would be like, well, no, look,

Here's a compilation of all the times Joe Rogan said base things. He argued for universal healthcare. He argued for free college. He argued for higher minimum wage and this good thing. And I would show that compilation and go, see, I don't know what you guys are talking about. But guess what? When you decide I'm going to endorse Donald Trump after he lied to your face relentlessly for the entire podcast telling brazen lies,

then I'm sorry, all the charity is gone, all the sympathy is gone, and I have to come to a different conclusion now. My conclusion of you can hold these people's hands and walk them through it and talk. I'm going to pause real quick and point this out. He said nothing. You know, I'm looking for substance. What did Trump lie about?

Wow. What did what did what did what did Joe Rogan get wrong? You said that he was saying right wing things. So what? I don't care if someone says something right wing. The Krasensteins are posting videos of them working out. I think it was Ed. I think it was Ed Krasenstein. Overly liberal guys. I am not a fan of these guys.

But one of the brothers posts a video of him working out and the dude is ripped. He is working out. It is it is excellent. It is meritocratic. I deeply respect it. And.

Working out his right wing, I guess. No, I don't care if the Krasim bros come out and say Donald Trump is bad and he's a rapist and all that. I'm going to say that's not true. You're lying and you're misrepresenting the facts. If they come out and then say you should eat right and work out and here are some tips, I say that's really awesome, guys. I agree.

What game is this where it's like, no, they're liberals, so they're always wrong, no matter what. I'm not living in that world. Kyle, give me some statements. Give me some substance. To them, like they're reasonable and work it out. It just didn't work. It just didn't work. And that's- Yeah, homie, you lost the argument as the problem, and now you're whinging about it and getting mad at Joe. I see a much more bold, aggressive style out of me where I'm like, fuck these people and the horse they rode in on, because-

If what I did before didn't work, okay, I got to try a different approach now. Oh, please, dude. It's called being wrong. It's itch. You were wrong. Imagine this reality where these liberals are outright saying, I was wrong, so guess I got to be a dick.

Or you could just be like, am I wrong about this? Famously, Jordan Peterson said it's one of my favorite Jordan Peterson moments when he's asked about civil rights law and whether or not a business can deny certain services based on gender. And he's like, they shouldn't be able to do that. And then the comedian goes, but what about if they're black? And he goes, well, you know, they shouldn't discriminate for someone. And then he gets challenged on and he goes, well, you know, I guess I was wrong about that. That's it.

You know, see through your own ego, dude. Maybe you could say, am I missing something that the popular vote count that the majority of people in this country are seeing? Is there something I'm not seeing? So just call these people the fucking frauds they are. Well, then guess what? We're going to call them the frauds that they are. But but don't be like hard on yourself in that way. I mean, Bernie Sanders did the same thing where he was trying to go there and say,

I thought at the point Rogan could be reasoned with in that way and his audience, it was important to try to communicate with them. Like the thing is, is like go on all these platforms. It's like why I went on Tim Pool, but I'm going to go there in a way where I'm not I'm not going to try to get invited back. That's not possible, ma'am. You will always be invited to my show because you make my audience laugh and we want to expose your bad ideas and call them out.

out. I have literally no problem whatsoever agreeing with a liberal if they say something correct. If Emma Vigeland came here, sat in this chair and said it's important to eat a healthy diet and exercise, I'd say I completely agree. That's fantastic. She comes on the show and she says banning these books in schools is censorship. And I'm like, you're damn right it is. And I'm for it. You're for censorship. Yes. Censor the materials of adult graphic material for kids. What don't you understand about that? But lady,

Dude, Kyle, Emma, you can come on this show whenever you want. The bigger question is, how come you don't? Yo.

I have a list of all the liberals who are terrified little cowards who don't want to come on the show. Meanwhile, every right winger in the world and post liberal are banging on the door saying, when do you have time for me? It is rather exhausting, to be honest, when I have people showing up at the gate being like, you need to talk to me, please. It's my destiny. And I'm like, this guy's crazy. Get out of here.

We have a list of people who are disaffected liberal moderate centrist types and conservatives who are 100 percent like, let me know what dates you have available. And then we have a list of liberals. I'm not. This is not an exaggeration. I have a list of all the liberals that we have to reach out to and say, please come on the show. And they all respond with, I don't know, maybe we can't or they want money.

Amazing. Like, I'm going to go there and try to... Right. Adversarial. At this point, specifically with explicitly right-wing outlets, you've got to go in there and you've got to eat their lunch because...

The only time that leftists get re-invited to these places is if you validate everything that they say. And then that creates- That's weird. We invited Sam Seder on the show specifically and explicitly because he lied about my position or he was wrong about my position on the death penalty. And so I said, come on the show.

If you agree with me, why would I want that? These people are fake. They are frauds. You guys are frauds. I'm going to say it right now. Both of you come on the show together. The problem is you don't do it. You never do it. We've invited Kyle over and over again. He won't do it. Emma's been invited on. She's welcome back whenever she wants.

This is a lie, they say, because their audiences are in a cult. And the only way they can maintain it is by acting like they're not the cult. It's everybody else who's the cult. It's a perverse incentive for those leftist communicators as well, because there's so much more money on that side of the equation. She says, you've got to come and eat our lunch. Otherwise, we won't invite you back. What? Come on the show. It's remarkable, isn't it?

You know, it's funny because there are things that are true and there are things that are not true. And then there's moral worldviews and opinions. I really don't care about the latter. I mean, like they exist. But I know that a lot of people who are pro-life watch this show and I'm not particularly pro-life. I don't want to say I don't like saying pro-choice because the Democrats have gone full abortion. And I think that's wrong. But the moderate here, you know, I'm fairly moderate, which puts me largely in the right camp as they describe it. And whatever. Fine. The left is psychotic.

But I had a conversation with Sam Seder where I was like, actually, I think we need more regulation in a lot of areas. And I do think we need sunset clauses on a lot of regulation, notably like as it pertains to businesses and how you file and things like this. Like it needs to be easy to start a business without pollutants and chemicals. Largely, though, when we're talking about regulation, we're talking about chemicals in the water and stuff. I think that context is probably important to get in there.

But I have no problem saying like, yeah, I think we should tax the rich. I agree with Steve Bannon on this. Not actually, I think Steve goes a little bit harder than I do on taxing the rich. I just think the problem is our tax system is corrupt. I don't like the idea that because corrupt people pervert a system, we get rid of some some system, you know, related to it. So, for example, I'm pro gay marriage.

Well, I'm more like gay marriage neutral. Like, I literally don't care. You know, I don't really consider it marriage because marriage is largely a religious institution. Call it civil unions, call it whatever you want. If there is a legal system by which they allow it, fine. But just because they're trying to put it in schools, see, this is where I am as an old school liberal saying, yeah, I don't care if two people in their house doing whatever it is they're doing. Like, we're not going to go in there, right? But now they're trying to play the game of we got to bring it in schools. We got to give these books to kids. I'm like, no, that crosses the line.

What we have now is conservatives saying, see, we warned you that would happen. And I'm like, yeah, I agree with you. You did. And it did happen. OK, so we get rid of that. Let let, you know, Dave Rubin have his family. I know a lot of conservatives don't agree with it. And there's arguments about marriage, moms, dads or whatever.

But, well, I suppose I should say surrogacy is a totally different argument from gay marriage. But let two people live their lives and have their homes and just say you cannot be doing this in schools. And that's it. Like, let there be the line.

But I do respect the argument from conservatives right now that the left will take a mile. So I don't know how you how you answer that one. And that's why the right ends up winning a lot of these arguments, because if conservative comes to me and says, Tim, look, we tried it your way and look what it got us. I go, fair point. Dude, this stuff's like like it's not just degeneracy. The child predation and the the graphic materials have gone so far that you are seeing a lot of people recoil the other direction. And it's the left's fault for refusing to moderate.

But I'll say it again to these people. You live in a crackpot reality and a cult. Take a look at this post from Reddit. What's the left's answer to Joe Rogan supposed to be? I don't know. Maybe it was Joe Rogan, but sure. Joe Rogan is a post shot for how the far right launders propaganda in the mainstream under the guise of just asking questions. The left doesn't need a Joe Rogan because we actually value facts and integrity, not cheap grifts aimed at pandering to insecure bros who can't tell the difference between free speech and hate speech. These people are not smart. Free speech.

Let me tell you, my friends, free speech literally is hate speech. That's the point. You don't need the phrase free speech if you cannot speak certain. Free speech is specifically about saying things that people are offended by, lest you just call it regular speech within certain confines. But sure, Taylor Lorenz writes it up.

Well,

Organizations like Turning Point USA, PragerU, and The Daily Wire and others receive millions from backers who view them as advertising for a broader conservative agenda. These media entities act as content creator incubators and spend extensively on outreach, production quality, and audience growth. The resources and near unlimited funds they receive allow conservative content creators to grow rapidly and spread their messages widely.

They're going to mention that Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire was heavily funded by wealthy Republican donors, including the Wilkes brothers, Texas-based billionaires known for their oil and fracking fortune. Charlie Kirk receives millions from conservative mega donors. And the Koch Network right wing content creators, Benny Johnson, Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, were getting paid 400 bucks a month, at least $100,000 per video. That is incorrect. After accepting funding from a right wing Russian influence operation, Johnson even allegedly negotiated $100,000 signing bonus. Oh, good for you, Benny.

Well, I will say we did have a contract agreement for licensing a program with Tenet Media, and I am I am upset by the outcome of where it is so far. But we shall see. But I will also stress that the bulk of all our viewership was completely outside of that. And Timcast Media never used any of those funds for any of its operations. So let's just make one thing clear. They care. They're lying to you.

How did I get this company going? Well, by all means, you can mention Ben Shapiro and Daily Wire and Prager, whoever else got investment for whatever. I don't know. Fine, whatever. For me, um...

I worked for, I went to occupy Wall Street Film Stuff. Then I got a job at Vice and Film Stuff and they paid me a salary, which is not very high. And then I went to ABC and they paid me a lot of money. And ABC News, Univision's joint venture. And then after two years left with several hundred thousand dollars saved, having worked at that corporate media job producing content, and then started making YouTube videos where I was getting about like eight to 10,000 views. Had a viral moment where I went to Sweden and covered a lot of the Sweden. We were doing a mini doc per day. It was really fun vlogging.

And it became a big viral trend where everybody was asking about it. And then...

I had about 60,000 followers after that, but got millions of views and made a good amount of money from doing that. And Carl Benjamin of Sargon of Akkad, as you know him now, the Lotus Eaters podcast, asked me to do a guest video for his channel, seeing that he appreciated my approach to journalism, was trying to be as correct as I could to inform people. That video bumped me over 100,000 subscribers. From that point, I actually started making money doing what I'm doing. And I'm eternally grateful. Carl is a good friend and a great dude with a great show. You should watch Lotus Eaters.

And I started making money. I launched a secondary channel, which started making money. I had about 280,000 subscribers between the channels when Joe Rogan took note of one of my videos because he had accidentally copyright claimed it. I think it was an automatic copyright claim pertaining to his interview with Jack Dorsey. I then responded to the video, got a false claim, had DM'd Joe because he had followed me and said, hey, could you release this? It took a couple hundred bucks out of my pocket.

I guess he watched, he called me. Long story short, he invited me on the show. We had a great show. He invited me back. I interviewed Jack Dorsey and Vijay Gadde of Twitter, leading to a massive explosion in followers. And I had over a million within a few months. Tremendous. Then in the beginning of 2020, we launched Timcast IRL. It exploded. And here we are today. All of that was organic growth and was built independently of me with no investors and nothing. And that's how I did it. Now, as for the tenant deal and the $100,000 per video, that's incorrect.

The deal was largely the show was broken up into multiple videos, licensing agreement. I have other licensing agreements. We've had other licensing agreements. There will be more licensing agreements. And we also do big sponsorships. What I will stress right now as to why I bring this up in context of all of this.

The left is really bad at business. The independent left, like Kyle Kalinske and Sam Seder, they are really bad at what they do. Not only are they wrong all the time, that's fine. And Kyle's wrong now, but they don't know how to make money. And that's probably why they're leftists, because if they actually knew how business is operated, they'd be like, well, those laws don't work.

But let me give you the nitty gritty and lay it down for you very simply. Right now, we are looking at YouTube, which programmatic ads, meaning automatically generated by YouTube, can hit around $10 to $15 CPMs. That is for every thousand views you get, you might get 15 bucks if you're lucky. Now, if you have a premium channel, you can negotiate higher CPMs.

So some channels can get way more. Sometimes, depending on the season, like December's really great, actually, because all these big marketing firms are dumping their budgets. You can get up to $20. That's a lot of money, $20 for 1,000 views. Now, you'd think you'd get more, but it really is about conversion and what people are willing to spend. As we enter the non-programmatic, we get into the host red ad space. An individual like me on a video like this, let's just say, here I am looking at a video

Rachel Maddow's career is over, it's titled, with 382,000 views from last week. Viewership this month has been a little bit more sporadic with some pretty high, some lower than normal, but that's the holiday season. We expect that. So if I'm going to have, let's just say 300,000 views, I can probably do if we hit like, I don't know, like a $20 CPM, we could be looking at like $6,000 or more. We'll negotiate a little bit higher for one read, 6,000. Now that's in the low end.

If we negotiate a premium as Tim cast is a premium channel, what does that mean? Well, it means there are a lot of channels that can get you those views. A network will say we've got five channels. Each gets 50,000. We'll bundle those together and sell them at 15 bucks because they're not big creators. Then a company comes along and says, actually, Tim Pool is very well known. His endorsement has extra weight and it is on average the number one live show on YouTube in primetime. If you want that space, you've got a lot of competition.

This drives up the rates and we can negotiate things much higher than that. I will add on top of this. We launched cast brew dot com, our own coffee company. I know that if I do my own promo and say, guys, we got a discount code right now over at cast brew dot com. I know that we can typically make more than a twenty dollar CPM. In fact, when we did one read for step on snack and find out Booney's HQ skateboards, we brought in about forty thousand dollars in revenue.

So if an advertiser comes to me and says, I want you to read an ad, I say, OK, or I just read an ad for my own company and I can make ten to twenty thousand dollars. If you want to compete in this space, you have to compete with my own merchandise and products. And that's true for every other company. Daily Wire, for instance, they've got all of these different products they've launched. Mayflower Cigars reportedly did nearly five million dollars in sales. So you go to Michael Knowles as an advertiser and say, we want in the space. And he says, OK.

I'll just sell my own cigars. You're not offering me enough money. What does that mean? It means when someone wants to come and license the whole show and advertising rights, and you average 200 to 250,000 views on that show, you're going to say, okay, well, look,

On that show alone right now in the first year, we expect to pull in, I don't know, $15,000 to $30,000 in ad sales or direct sales through our own merchandise. Now, if we grow that show with segments and we're getting about 500,000 views within three months because the segment's on top of it plus the show, we could be looking at substantially more than that.

You want to license a show for a set amount of time. That means you're taking away our opportunity for revenue growth two years down the line. Hence, Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin, Tim Pool all negotiated rather independently comparable deals. Could it be that perhaps lawyers and agents are the ones that set these numbers? Long story short, the left is miserable at running business. They have no idea what they're doing.

They're getting angry that we are successful and they're making up lies and screaming about it. And it's this myopic worldview and failure to recognize reality that results in people like Joe Rogan saying these people are horrifyingly wrong.

So, my friends, you know, I love throwing those numbers out there and just letting everybody know because the podcast industry is remarkably not transparent. They don't tell you how much ratings, what their ratings are on YouTube. You can see it. Sometimes they're fake on the audio side. Nobody really knows. They don't release those numbers except to the advertisers, which makes it harder for advertisers to negotiate properly. I think it holds everybody back. So that's why I just outright say.

Here's what our numbers are. Here's what we typically sell for. So play ball. Advertiser came to me the other day. They offered us five grand for an ad read on Timcast IRL. I said, man,

If I just do a Casper promo, we make more than that. Plus, we build up our own intellectual property. Casper becomes worth more money with every read and every sell. Casper Coffee is nearing about $2 million in sales for the year. Thank you all so much. Not as big as Jeremy's Coffee Brand Coffee, by the way. Shout out to Jeremy of The Quartering. But we get it. We in the independent space know how to make money, and the left does not.

So let's play that game. Kyle, cry about it. You guys don't know what you're doing, but I will say the big machine is going to dump money on top of them. So fine. Good luck, I guess. I'm going to wrap it up there. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. Become a member over at TimCast.com. Follow me on X and Instagram at TimCast. Thanks for hanging out, and we'll see you all in the next segment.

In this country, we have something called human rights law. And various jurisdictions have different takes on that, but mostly it's similar, except in Washington, D.C., where your political affiliation is in fact protected. There's a big trend, never really manifested, but a lot of white nationalists have been talking about moving to D.C. because it's illegal to discriminate against you based on political affiliation. And for obvious reasons.

Much as this is a complicated concept because political affiliation is a weird thing. If you are working in D.C. as a politician and a store threatens not to serve you, that's going to create problems for the functioning of government. So in D.C., if you're a Republican or a Democrat and you go to get a slice of pizza and the guy says, I don't like Democrats or I don't like Republicans, that actually breaks the law.

which is why I find this story pretty fascinating. D.C. waitress fired after claiming she would refuse to serve Trump and Trump admin officials. That's a crime in D.C. The Postal Network reports a Washington, D.C. restaurant has fired a waitress after she stated she would refuse to serve individuals associated with Trump's administration. Susanna

Van Rui, who worked at Boucher's Saloon on Capitol Hill, made the comment in an interview with Washingtonian. Van Rui said that she would refuse to serve any person in office who I know of as being a sex trafficker or trying to deport millions of people. It's not, oh, we hate Republicans. It's that this person has moral convictions that are strongly opposed to mine and I don't feel comfortable serving them. Ah, that's literally what political affiliation means. You assert. And that's why I say this whole law gets really muddy.

She's trying to dodge this. No, it's not Republicans. It's just if they do these things, which what Republicans do. So nice try, lady. You're fired. Her comments were part of a broader report exploring potential resistance in D.C. to officials in the upcoming Trump administration, drawing parallels to incidents during Trump's first term, such as when Sarah Huckabee Sanders was kicked out of a Virginia restaurant.

People were a lot more motivated the first time around to do those kinds of shows of passion. This time around, there's a kind of sense of defeat and acceptance. Van Roy continued. But I hope that people still do stand up to this administration and tell them their thoughts on misbehavior.

According to a report by Fox News, Vanneroy's LinkedIn page, which has since been deleted, reportedly listed her responsibilities at Boucher's Saloon, such as messaging strategies, managing events for political figures and developing relationships with influencers. She also worked as an organizer for Democrat Beto O'Rourke's unsuccessful 2022 gubernatorial campaign.

Boucher Saloon responded quickly to Van Rooij's comments, calling them reprehensible. In a statement to Fox News, the restaurant confirmed that she had been fired for violating their zero tolerance policy on discrimination. Congratulations, liberals. The laws you wanted and the laws you get. The business also clarified she was a part time server and not a manager. Yeah, her LinkedIn was probably just fluff.

Recent comments made by a member of staff who had no authority to speak on behalf of our entire restaurant have been quite rightly flagged as inappropriate, hostile, intolerant and unacceptable. The staff member does not speak for us as a restaurant. The restaurant said in a statement after the inauguration in January, we'll begin serving our fourth administration as a neighborhood restaurant on Capitol Hill, open to all and welcoming to all.

We have always been a safe space for all everyone, especially anyone who feels prejudged or misunderstood. We'll always find friendly service and a sympathetic ear at Boucher's Saloon. Again, we deeply apologize for the comments made by a member of staff. They are not representative of our restaurant and do not reflect how we operate as a business and how proud we are to to be a gathering place on Capitol Hill.

The restaurant issued a follow-up statement Friday calling Van Ruy's behavior unforgivable. It also revealed that Van Ruy had accessed the business's social media accounts without permission to post her views.

Not only do Miss Van Rooij's comments clearly violate our zero tolerance policy on discrimination, but a decision to sign into our social media accounts in the middle of the night to post her own rhetoric and wildly offensive responses to comments is a further breach of conduct and protocol. I think she was actually not fluffing when she said she could do it. And they're just panicking because they're going to get in serious trouble. I've got the D.C. human rights protections pulled up.

She has no authority to speak on our behalf, and her comments do not reflect the position of over 20 other people who make up our staff. For these reasons, as well as the sheer dismay and disgust we feel at her unforgivable behavior, Ms. Van Roy has been dismissed immediately. Our staff and families, many of whom are personally offended by Ms. Roy's comments about them, are still reeling for what Ms. Van Roy said and did. And we are a restaurant, and we as a restaurant are simply horrified to be associated with base prejudice. Indeed.

Take a look at this. I pulled it up for you from DC.gov, and this is where we can really rip into old liberalism. This is funny. Protected traits in the D.C. Human Rights Act.

The D.C. Office of Human Rights enforces the D.C. Human Rights Act, which makes discrimination illegal based on 21 protected traits of four people that live, visit or work in the District of Columbia. The D.C. Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination in housing, employment, public accommodation and educational institutions. First, the most important one right there is public accommodation. If you have a restaurant that is open to the public and you serve cheeseburgers and I walk in and say I, a Republican, would like a cheeseburger, you can't say no Republicans allowed. That's actually illegal.

Public accommodation refers to anything that is offered up to the public to accommodate them in any way, including use of bathrooms, having a drink, whatever it may be. Now let's talk about where it gets funny. First, race. That one's fairly obvious. Classification or association based on a person's ancestry or ethnicity. You can't have someone come in and be like, no, white people, that's illegal. Color is the same thing. Your skin pigmentation. Religion. Fascinating. National origin. That's right. The country where one's ancestors are from.

A person's gender, sex. Okay, number five. A person's gender includes sexual harassment and a woman's right to breastfeed. Medicine say identity, but there is one. Don't worry. Age, 18 years or older. You can discriminate on age as long as they're under 18. Marital status, personal appearance. This one's really, really funny. Outward appearance, but is subject to business requirements or standards. That one's fascinating.

Because they like to have dress codes in some of these fancier places, but that you really can't anymore. You know, what's fascinating is that Mar-a-Lago, women can wear basically anything they want. Not literally anything, but men have to wear suits and dress shoes. Yep. You are allowed to wear hats, though. That one they told me. They said, you're good, Tim. You can wear the beanie, but you have to wear a suit. And so we went out and bought some nice clothes. First time in my life, probably. Women can wear whatever they want.

Because they're like, you know, whatever. Women are going to wear a dress. We don't care. That's funny. So that is personal appearance and gender based discrimination. Not that I really care. It's a private facility. Trump can do whatever he wants. They're going to say family responsibilities, which is weird. Political affiliation. Number 12. That's it. Belonging to or supporting a political party. That's why she tried claiming, no, it's not about Republicans. It's about the actions they're taking. But nice try, lady. You're going to get the restaurant in trouble.

Here we go. Number 10 is gender identity or expression. Your gender related identity, behavior, appearance, expression or behavior, which is different from that which you are assigned at birth. The funny thing there is, let's say there's a restaurant with a dress code. You can walk in and they're like, sir, you can't wear cargo pants and a baseball cap backwards in this establishment. You can say, actually, I identify as bro gender and this is part of my gender identity.

And they're going to have to make a choice of whether they want to go to war with you or not. But usually I find that most places have just abandoned dress codes as it is. Disability, that one we get. Additional traits. Matriculation. Being enrolled in a college, university, or some type of school. Familial status. Being a parent or guardian with children under 18. Source of income. That's interesting. Origination of a person's finances. Once again.

When she said that we are not going to serve the Trump admin, this falls under all of this genetic information. That's funny. Your DNA, place of residence or business status is a victim of an intrafamily offense. Credit information. Now, that's interesting, too. Status is a victim of or family member, blah, blah. You get the point. Lady, play with fire. This is what's going to happen. She deserves to be fired.

You want to live in the capital of this country where politics goes in any direction. You're going to serve people you don't like. OK, and that being said to where I live, I mean, I think shaming should be allowed. I think she should be allowed to disparage anyone she wants. But you still have to provide the service. This is what we're going to start seeing. And this is the fragmentation of society. But these are the rules they made. What can I say?

Liberals want these protections. Conservatives have long argued for getting rid of them, libertarians especially. Less so conservatives, but more so libertarians, saying, "It's my business. I can do whatever I want." Well, I don't agree. I'm more liberal on this one. And you see, this is what you get, all the other liberals. My view is that if you are utilizing public space in the Commons and you are offering up a service to everybody, you should not be able to discriminate on the basis of these things.

Meaning, you should build a hire and fire whoever you want. But if someone comes in for a cheeseburger, so long as they're not causing a problem, screaming, throwing things, yelling or whatever, then it's fine. Serve them. Now, there are questions about the extent of and limits of government. But I think one problem we have as a society is the density of government. Yo, I was in Tampa this past weekend. It is insane.

Density is an issue, and it's going to cause a lot of problems, and we have to figure out how we deal with such massive tensions. Meaning, if you have a business that requires a certain amount of money per month in overhead, and you need business at a certain level, but some weirdo showing up dressed in weird clothes causes customers to leave...

you're just going to go out of business. That is a logic where we can't sustain this. Let's say a person comes in dressed in a fursuit and they're like, I'm protected. And then nobody wants to eat there anymore because there's a bunch of furries there. You're going to be like, look, I'm going out of business unless these people stop coming in. What can you do about it? If they're protected, they're protected. Sometimes these laws don't make sense. Sorry.
