The Trump administration has been revoking the visas of several students and prepping them for deportation. Of course, the story started with Mahmoud Khalil, one of the organizers of the anti-Israel pro-Palestine protests that we saw at Columbia University, which quickly spread to many other universities. There are several other postgraduate students or students who have had their visas revoked. These are not people who went to the country illegally. These are people who are in our university system who came here legally on visas and

who have spoken out against Israel in some fashion and are now seeing their visas revoked and being deported. The latest story to go viral is about a Tufts student. I believe she's Turkish. There's a viral video showing plainclothes officers approach and arrest her as she screams. Now, what's interesting about this story is it touches on a variety of subjects, but largely the conflict in Israel and Palestine, foreign policy,

You've got a weird split between the left and the right, as some elements of the right that are very critical of Israel are saying this is a bad thing, which is weird because now you've got people that are in favor of non-citizens having rights in this country while they simultaneously call for the deportation of other individuals who may have come to this country legally, notably those who are offered that sponsored status from Joe Biden, creating a

I don't know. It's called a strange circumstance of political opinion. One thing that I can say is if it is against U.S. foreign policy, the U.S. typically doesn't tolerate it. And Donald Trump is firmly on the side of providing support for Israel. And thus, the students we are seeing that are having their visas revoked.

Principally, they're anti-Israel. Now, some of these make a ton of sense. Mahmoud Khalil organized a violent protest where they, you could argue riot, but it was a large protest against

And then it delved into the areas of vandalism and violence when they seized buildings, threatened and harmed employees and even attacked students. Now, Mahmoud Khalil himself did not do this, but he was the organizer of it. And he well, he may have actually participated in the seizure of these buildings that right there. I think it's simple guys on a temporary green card. You revoke it and you say you got to go.

But there are several other students. In this instance, the story is going viral because the Tufts student had her visa revoked or it is in the process of being revoked because she authored an anti-Israel paper about a year ago.

This lends itself to the larger deportation conversation this morning. MS-13, one of its leaders, was captured just south of D.C. by the DOJ. And of course, there is the general conversation about Donald Trump's mass deportations due process and otherwise. Now, while this is going on and one of the top trends in the country is a tough student being grabbed by plainclothes officers and an MS-13 officer being arrested.

A top official, I should say, from S-13 or whatever, leader, whatever you call them. While these stories are dominating the trends and the headlines. Well, actually, I shouldn't say headlines. They're dominating the trends and the interest of the public. The media and liberals are talking about one thing. Signal. Don't care. Literally, that story is over.

And man, that story, sir, has sure has distracted from what is going on with Trump's plan for mass deportations. So let's dive into this and the media narrative machine, how they're crafting the story, how they're framing what's going on.

How they're actually protecting some of the worst criminals in this country. Trump is now calling on Doge to pull back, get all the money back that was given for premium subscriptions to Politico and other platforms. And conservatives are calling for the defunding of NPR as it is revealed. Shocker. The CEO of NPR is, uh,

Very anti-Trump and extremely biased. I want to give a shout out to Steven Crowder and the Mug Club for the raid. Welcome to the Rumble Morning Lineup Live.

Shout out to the Rumble Morning Live for the largest live viewership that we've seen of any platform. It's really fantastic. Let's grab this news. Vanity Fair reports a tough student criticized Israel. Then the Trump administration disappeared her. I'd like to just say

Secretary of State has the right under under the Immigration and Naturalization Act to rescind any visa at any time for any reason. Now, if they cite an actual reason, you're out. But if they cite no reason and simply mean to deport you, there is to be a hearing. Now, a judge has ordered that they not move this individual. However, I do believe currently the individual is in Louisiana, which I also believe is where Mahmoud Khalil is. We have the video for you here.

Mediaite says disturbing video shows masked men hauling away pro-Palestine student, her whereabouts unknown. I think we can skip forward a little. Okay, here we go. It starts right away. So you can see these men. They were clearly waiting for her. The bottom left. It's kind of hard to see. I zoom in. Yo. Okay.

So you can hear some muttering. It's kind of hard to hear exactly what they're talking about. But this is Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish citizen in the U.S. on a student visa. I got to tell you, I have very little sympathy on any of this stuff, my friends.

Being in the United States is not a right. It is a privilege and is a benefit to you. Here's a story from The Washington Post. A security camera captured the moment a Tufts University student was arrested March 25th by DHS. They show the unmarked car. This is a little quicker. And they zoom in and a plainclothes officer. This woman is then approached, panics and is arrested.

Now, liberals are screaming about this and the Israel critical right are also screaming about this, calling this Jewish fascism. Well, that's particularly I think we have the tweet from Nick Fuentes, who says we live under Jewish fascism to one point four million views, referencing this post from AF post of ICE arresting this individual. Now, I don't.

I'm not so concerned about this one singular incident. It's being hammed up by many on the left because it's kind of a shocking video. Plainclothes officers grabbing somebody. It's perfect propaganda. The reality is many other students have been arrested like this with Al Jazeera breaking it down. Here's the story from Al Jazeera. Who are the students Trump wants to deport?

You've got Rumesa Ozturk, Mahmoud Khalil, Badar Khan Suri among several students. And now we have another report. U.S. immigration officials detained doctoral student at University of Alabama. Justification for the arrest not clear as Trump admin increasingly target students for arrest and deportation. Let's read what Vanity Fair has to say and we'll break down their assessment of what we're currently seeing. Vanity Fair reports.

Actually, they report nothing. Looks like I had this, to be honest. I did have the story pulled up, but I guess they locked it out. So they like to do that when you pull up the story and then after a minute or so it locks. But The Washington Post will break down force instead. As Tufts University student Ramesa Osterk made her way to an interfaith center to break the Ramadan fast on Tuesday. Plainclothes officers, some masked, descended on her.

First thing I'd like to point out for those, I can assist in the media literacy industry.

This is a biased article that violates the core tenets of journalism by immediately adding this. Break the Ramadan fast on Tuesday. This is immaterial to the story, and it seeks to bias the reader, making it seem like the Trump administration is attacking people based on faith. A true news report would simply say a university student from Tufts, Rosemaysa Osterk, was arrested today by ICE officers. That's it. You can then maybe add something the judge says if you want to add to it. But this information poisons the well. It is prejudicial.

They're going to say she screamed as an unmasked officer in a hooded sweatshirt grabbed her security videos show within a minute, about a minute. The officers whisked her away in handcuffs. The widely circulated video of the officers who, as Turk's lawyers, had belonged to the Department of Homeland Security, sent shockwaves to the community as thousands turned out in Somerville, Massachusetts, on Wednesday, demanding her release.

Ozturk, a 30 year old from Turkey, is a Fulbright scholar doing a Ph.D. in child study and human development on an F1 student visa at the Boston Area University. Her lawyer, Masa Kanbaba, Kanbaba, said in an email, we should all be horrified at the way DHS spirited away Rumesa in broad daylight. She wrote, adding that Ozturk has not been accused of committing any crime. I'd like to stress.

There need not be accusations of a crime. So I think that's part that's part that's very silly. A federal district judge, considering a petition from her lawyer, can order officers on Tuesday not to move the student out of Massachusetts without it without advance notice. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainee locator page showed Ozturk's location as Louisiana late Wednesday. DHS and ICE investigations found Ozturk engaged in activities in support of Hamas.

DHS said in an emailed statement without sharing evidence of the claim or responding to questions about the video. It added that supporting terrorists is grounds for visa termination. President Trump has promised to deport international students, he alleges, are engaged in pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American campus protests over Israel's war in Gaza. But critics and lawyers for the students say they are being targeted for expressing their political beliefs and that the government is trampling on the First Amendment right to free speech.

Trump sent masked law enforcement officers to arrest Ramesa Ozturk, a Tufts University grad, a grad student with legal status without criminal charge. Senator Edward J. Markey wrote, disappearances like these are part of Trump's all out assault on our basic freedoms.

I'd like to stress nobody was disappeared. She was simply arrested. But they're saying that because they're trying to ham this up. Now, I'm not a fan of this. It does seem a bit egregious when it comes to Mahmoud Khalil. I can I can understand this. Those protests at various universities were violent. They seized buildings. You do not get to come here and cause problems and commit crimes here.

Just because we say you can peaceably assemble does not mean you can seize buildings. And it is the right of the government, the executive branch, to take away your status and send you home. As for this individual, Rumesa Osterk, and some of these others, it seems like this is largely political, in which case.

Now you're treading on thin ice. I understand what the Trump administration is doing it, but I'm not a fan of Trump simply saying we don't want anti-Israel sentiment. I can understand the argument. We don't want to invite foreign students into our country to protest against our foreign policy. That can actually affect our national security. But look, I got to be honest, as somebody who is largely critical of foreign intervention and the funding of foreign governments, much as I think, look, when it comes to October 7th, Israel, Palestine, I lean more towards Israel.

I also, however, lean more towards I don't know why we're involved in the least bit and don't think we should be. So Donald Trump wants to provide this funding. I'll tell you this. First, Ukraine got more funding in three years than Israel's gotten in 60 or 70 years.

That doesn't excuse the U.S. funding all of these foreign governments and their wars for which we should not be involved. In this instance, I don't much care for some Turkish students who's anti-Israel. But at the same time, I don't know why you deport them.

Now, if this person turns out to have done something illegal, so be it. That's the way I'm kind of met on the whole issue. Not going to come out and scream at cops or act like this is a disappearance. Somebody got arrested. Let me know what they're accused of or why. If Trump comes out and says they're anti-Israel, they wrote this pro Hamas thing. I'm going to be like, that's stupid. They claimed at first that Mahmoud Khalil was.

Was aligned with Hamas, Hamas, stupid. I don't care for that. I don't. Someone's aligned with someone. Oh, please. The left screams that I'm aligned with Russia, even though I think Putin sucks. I think he's despotic. I think he wants to hold into power. Don't trust the guy. It doesn't matter. That's stupid. Are they going to go and arrest people who are aligned with Russia because we don't want foreign intervention in Ukraine? I am playing that game.

Next thing you know, you're going to have activists who are critical of the Ukraine war getting arrested and deported because they're being accused of being aligned with Russia. That being said, Mahmoud Khalil is accused of committing fraud. And some people are saying they're pulling this up after the fact that Mahmoud Khalil was arrested for his anti-Israel activities. They then found something to justify it. Too bad. I mean, too bad, bro. If you're going to come to this country and lie on your forms about who you work for, the security clearances you hold.

You're going to get deported eventually. That's your fault. I'm interested in seeing what they have on this young woman and the rest of the people that they're going after. They're going to mention Massachusetts Attorney General Andre Andrea Joy Campbell said it was alarming the administration chose to ambush Ozturk. It looked like a kidnapping, blah, blah, blah. You're losing me.

You're losing rational people. Bro, there are a lot of people in this country who don't want to see U.S. dollars used to fund foreign wars, be it Israel, Ukraine, or otherwise. You get an opportunity now to come to us and say, why are they deporting these people? Is the issue really political? Instead, you're playing up this leftist garbage victim talking point of kidnapping, ambush, and disappearing, and you're making me roll my eyes and want to disassociate. Annie Lai,

Law professor at University of California, Irvine, specializing in immigrant rights, said some of the officers of the video do not have anything on their clothing, a badge or writing on their vest that identifies them as law enforcement or government officials. At one point, the video officer says we are the police and you can clearly see the man appears to be holding a badge as he walks up to her. The fact that he did not say they were from DHS or ISIS concerning why? That's why I'm saying you're losing me.

Most officers had their faces covered or they covered them during the arrest. This gives people the sense they can be taken without knowing who was taking them and why. That should be deeply alarming. The Turkish embassy said it was trying with U.S. authorities to ensure that Ozturk's rights were being protected and that it was updating her family. Tufts University President Sunil Kumar said the school has learned the student's visa had been terminated.

The university had no pre-knowledge of the incident and did not share any information with federal authorities prior to the event. University leaders, including Kumar, said the school was offering support to its community, blah, blah, blah. I don't care for this whiny leftists. We need safe space rooms. Somebody got arrested. Crime war. Well, here we go. Al Jazeera mentions there are three people currently on the list, but there is another individual, an unnamed Iranian student, a student, student, Iranian student.

Al Jazeera reports, who are the students Trump wants to deport? First, we'll start here. Why does Trump want to deport U.S. students? The Trump admin alleges the students who participated in the pro-Palestine protests spread anti-Semitism and pro-Hamas sentiment on campus. It claims students, lawyers and activists have all rebutted. Jewish activists and groups have been at the forefront of many of the most prominent protests in the U.S. in the U.S. against the Gaza war. Fake news poisoning the well.

There are groups that are Jewish, but largely Jewish individuals have been opposed to these protests, not in support of them. On January 29th, Trump signed an executive order titled Additional Measures to Combat Antisemitism, in which he ordered the head of each executive department or agency to submit a report within 60 days on all criminal and civil authorities and actions available for fighting antisemitism. The White House published a fact sheet a day after this order. In the fact sheet, Trump said, quote,

To all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests, we put you on notice. Come 2025, we will find you. We will deport you. I will also quickly cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses, which have been infested with radicalism like never before. His administration has since targeted multiple international students and scholars in the U.S. Now on to this individual, the latest individual, Rumeysa Ozturk.

They're going to mention the story and we get it. Now, why is it happening? On March 26, 2024, Ozturk wrote an opinion piece for her university student news website, the Tufts Daily, with four of their students. In this piece, the authors criticized the institute's president, Sunil Kumar, who sent an email dismissing resolutions passed by the Tufts Community Union Senate, which called for the university to divest from companies linked to Israel and acknowledge the Palestinian genocide. Ozturk's lawyer, Kana Babi,

Bye bye. Followed a petition in Boston federal court late on Tuesday. This we know DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin wrote in an ex post Wednesday. DHS and ICEF investigations found Oster engaged in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans. McLaughlin did not specify what these activities were. A visa is a privilege, not a right.

glorifying and supporting terrorists who kill Americans as grounds for visa issuance to be terminated. This is a common sense security. Yeah, I don't care. I'll say it right now. Personally, I am not a fan of going after people because they support Israel. That being said, if you want to play games, what do we say, Fafo? These individuals are here on visas they know can be revoked at any time.

They have decided to get political and enter the culture war fray on one of the most significant issues of our generation, Israel, Palestine and U.S. support. The reason why I say it's one of the most significant issues is we've got a major split across all factions as to whether people support or oppose moderate liberal support. But the left largely is critical of Israel.

On the right, moderates largely support. But the further right, I don't even know if further right is the right way to describe it, but there is the Israel critical right. And then, of course, on both sides, you have the quote unquote the Jews people. So it's a contentious issue. Nonetheless, you want to come to this country. I tell you this. I don't care about your political opinions. It is a privilege. You are being given a gift. Welcome to America. You're not a citizen. If you act up and want to speak up and cause problems in any way, you're getting deported.

That's just what's going to happen. And if Trump goes after every single student who's on a visa, who gets political, I'm not going to cry about it. To be fair, I might mutter some. I don't know about that, but that's about it.

Because it is a privilege. You don't get to just come to our country and start engaging in our political process. Furthermore, I believe you should not be allowed to be a judge in this country if you were not born in this country. That's what they say for the president. You're allowed every other position as a foreign born individual so long as you're naturalized. I think we should make it so that if you want to be in any position of in any political position, you must have been born in this country.

We've got members of Congress and judges who are not American. And look, it's fair to say their allegiance is not entirely to this country. I'm not saying that to drag or insult or disrespect. I actually think it is the right approach for the individual. The argument I often make there's let's say you're an immigrant to this country. You come here legally. I support people coming here legally.

If you want to engage in politics that negatively impact our country and the will of the American people, don't be surprised if you're gone, if you get deported. But I'll put it this way. Imagine this big empty field guy settles it. A hundred years later, small town guy decides to build a baseball field. He brings his son to play baseball. Everybody in the community comes and now baseball is happening in the small town. Two generations go by. A man now sees the baseball field in disrepair.

He's got his own kid. His dad played ball with him. His granddad played ball with his dad. And he says, I want this repaired. He goes to city town hall meeting and says, let's allocate funds to repair this baseball field. Everybody cheers and claps. They vote. Forty nine percent say repair the baseball field. Fifty one percent say do not. Why? Well,

In the prior years, Joe Biden brought in several thousand non-citizens through a protected temporary system. This was legal. He made a legal process for it. These individuals then vote reasonably and rationally. They say, we don't need a baseball field. We need a migrant welcome center to help the people who are coming into this community. They outvote the people who live there. Here's the problem. We want to encourage a society.

where people will plant trees whose shade they know they will never sit beneath. And a man who builds a baseball field for his children and his grandchildren, his great grandchildren, if you were to tell them in a generation or two, the government will bring in a large portion of non-citizens. Those people will vote to destroy your baseball field and create a migrant center. He's going to say, why build the baseball field in the first place, though? He's going to say what? Or he's going to say we must resist that.

The issue is those migrants who vote for the Welcome Center are not wrong. They're not wrong. You're just creating a scenario with mass migration where individuals have allegiances to their families as they should. As long as we acknowledge that, we can balance the interests of the American people and those who want to build a great country and the new folks we welcome into this country. But what happens then if you get a 50-50 split and it goes to court?

And they say there is contention over whether we should fund the migrant center or the baseball field. If you have an American born judge who grew up in this community, he's going to say it is of the it is this it is this community's tradition and desire for the longstanding baseball field to exist. Gavel bang.

What if he's also a migrant, naturalized citizen? And he says, I experienced the challenges of moving to this country. My family still to this day does. My parents may want to move here to Migrant Center. Bang.

It's not a question of right or wrong. It's a question of where we align our interests. When we prioritize the political interests of non-citizens, you will have a country where people do not invest in it. So we need to make sure politically we weigh the interests of American citizens, then permanent residents and naturalized non-native born citizens. My opinion, judges,

Members of Congress, the Senate and the president should be born in America. So that means your parents may be immigrants. You will still vote and judge in favor of your parents and your extended family. But the very least you were born here, creating an anchor and tether to the foundation of this country. I think what we're seeing largely in this country is due to the fact that political power is being held largely by people who are not from here.

With all due respect to Ro Khanna, he's a good dude. I respect him. His parents are not from here. So when he comes to a vote in Congress, he told us he wants to prioritize non-citizens and illegal immigrants. I think that is a detriment to the foundations of a country and the individuals who planted those trees whose shade they know they will never sit beneath. But again, you know, I can say this as we move on in this story. I ask you, what do you think? Because I don't think I'm wrong.

But I know there's going to be a lot of people left saying it's white nationalism is other garbage. I reject all of that. They're not. It's nonsense. They say anybody who wants to maintain tradition, their moral traditions, their values, their country, baseball, Christmas morning, apple pie. They say you're a white supremacist. I say away with you. You are a hypocrite and a liar.

I think traditions matter. And I think that the Western traditions have given us the greatest society and civilization, but are beginning to falter. And it's going to require strong men to stand up and say, we must restore what made America great and make it great again. Now we have this story from The Guardian. U.S. immigration officials detain a doctoral student at University of Alabama. I'm not going to go into deep detail on this.

As I think you mostly get the point on the immigration story, but this is another individual. They say this is an Iranian individual. The spokesperson for the state's flagship university said in a brief statement, the student was arrested off campus by federal immigration officials, but declined to comment further. The U.S. government's justification for detaining the student was not immediately clear. ICE did not respond to a request. We are going to see things like this happening all across the board. If you come to this country and you are a guest,

And you engage in politics. Trump's going to ask you to go home. I don't know why you think you just deserve to get to come here. My my grandfather, World War Two veteran. For many of you watching who are older, your parents, World War Two veterans. For some of you who are younger, your great grandparents, World War One, World War Two, the Korean War, Vietnam, et cetera, et cetera.

The people who came before us fought and died, sometimes for poor reasons, sometimes for the right reasons. Blood and treasure was sacrificed to make this country what it is. So when you come here as a guest to reap the bounty of men and women who died and sacrificed for this nation, I only ask you have respect for those who came before you and the children for whom they sacrificed. So when I come to West Virginia...

I seek to be minimally political, although I am a little bit. I try. I ask the locals what they think, because there are people in West Virginia who sacrificed for this state. I didn't. I just moved here and I'm still an American. I got a right to live where I want to live. Right. But I still want to respect the traditions and values of those who came before me. All I ask is that the migrants do the exact same thing. I'll tell you one of the big problems.

Many of these migrants who come to the United States do so with the express and explicit intent to affect our foreign policy. So when you see Muslim women from Turkey coming to this country like Rumesa, I believe her name, and then she writes and drafts papers about Israel being bad. You have to wonder, are these people coming here with the with the explicit intent to disrupt American foreign policy in the Middle East? I do not like the funding of of Israel.

I like Israel. I do. I've been there. I've been to Tel Aviv. Beautiful. The food's great. The people were nice. I think it's a great nation. I know a lot of people get mad about that. It's a contentious issue. I don't want to give them a penny. I say, Israel, how nice of you. Bye.

People are going to say, yeah, but Tim, what about the bombing Palestine? Not a fan of these military operations completely. But at the same time, I'm an American. I'm not going to pretend to understand the deep complexities and the nuances of every Middle Eastern country. I can tell you this. We shouldn't have gotten involved in Afghanistan. We shouldn't have gotten involved in Iraq twice. All of this is the neoliberal neocon establishment garbage which sacrificed the American people and the dream that my grandparents and my ancestors fought for and died for.

It sacrifices all of that for the liberal economic order so that the U.S. can have military bases all across Europe and the Middle East so that we can be the global police and have global dominance. That's never, never what the American people were striving for. It's what the machine state was built upon. The Federal Reserve, the Atlantic Council, the Council on Foreign Relations, all of these individuals, they want to see unipolar American hegemonic power.

You know what? I got to be honest. I'm kind of largely apathetic to that worldview. So long as they do right by the American people and don't bring us into foreign wars. I actually don't care all that much if we've got U.S. troops overseas in South Korea, Japan or or Poland or Lithuania. The problem is these things tend to drag us into war and conflict. If they secured our borders, treated our people right.

protected our traditional values, our moral values, helped to expand culture and believed in this country, had it in our universities, I'd be happy as a pig in ish. Try not to swear. You get it. I have criticisms about foreign policy. I don't want our resources as Americans and our and our good men and women to be sacrificed for hegemonic authority in a unipolar world. Look, I don't want China to take over either.

But they have abandoned the American people for this garbage. They have lied to the American people for this garbage. They've got us entangled in Ukraine. For what? Cheaper gas for Europe? Europe doesn't remunerate. Europe isn't paying for their defense. We are. I'd like to see our border secure. Our schools improved.

I'd like to see jobs in this country, but they've outsourced our jobs, destroyed our manufacturing, destroyed the auto industry, taken away the middle class's opportunities. They've created an oligopoly. The left pretends to fight, but they don't. The outsourcing of jobs has empowered the people who run the companies and the shareholders, not the working class. Donald Trump, imperfect guy.

sometimes a little blockheaded. And you know what's funny? Sometimes the people he appoints all the same. But at least, at least you can argue 51 percent, at least of their agenda is on making the American workers life better and the American peoples from Axios. Trump's pro Hamas purge could block foreign students from colleges. And now we're going

Beyond just taking these students out and sending them home. Now they're saying we ain't going to be issuing visas for them. AF Post, of course, I showed you. And now we are here. Donald Trump's response to the current state.

I really don't want to talk about Signal, my friends. It is the stupidest non-story. I ain't got much more to add. But I can say, smash the like button, share the show, do all that good stuff.

Trump officials draw judge from deportation case in signal chat lawsuit. Oh, boy. The Trump administration this week invoked state secrets privilege to try and keep U.S. District Judge James Boasberg from further investigating whether the government violated its orders on deportations. Blah, blah, blah. Where we're currently at with this. Trump sounds off on highly conflicted Obama nominated judge assigned signal chat lawsuit. Disgraceful.

Trump called for Boasberg to be impeached earlier this month. You know, I'm for it. I was reading from The Federalist that one third of D.C. judges are foreign born. I got no beef with people who are foreign born. I respect it. I was saying this the other day. Here's my here's my deal. I got I got a question for you guys, my friends. I got a question for you guys. My deal is this. Every single illegal immigrants, every single one.

Let's do the high round number. 20 million illegal immigrants, except for the criminals in Trendyaragua and MS-13. Every single one of them, I say we give permanent citizenship. That's right. You heard me. Permanent citizenship immediately. Now, hold on before you all lose your minds. I'm drawing the suspense up. Only if every leftist leaves an exchange, because I got to be honest.

I can deal with apolitical criminal aliens who only care about America's a good economy. I can't deal with the far leftists who are trying to burn the country down.

I'm kidding, by the way. It's meant to be a joke. But the idea is this. If we took 70 million far left lunatics out of the country and had only 20 million illegal immigrants, then the country turns bright red instantly. The debate becomes more of moderate liberals and conservatives. Back to reality. The communists are all gone and the illegal immigrants are here, not the criminals. Well, they're all criminals, to be honest, but not the actual violent ones.

The ones who came here for economics, at the very least, they're not going to outvote any of us. So I'm kidding, though. My attitude is the bigger problem we have is cultural. We get

20 million. I think I think it's fair to estimate a little lower than that, but some people say 20. I think it's probably 11 or 12 illegal immigrants because the far left brings them in to exploit the system. So the reasonable solution is American citizens have dumb opinions. Sometimes the leftists, they're allowed to be here. You're allowed to be stupid, but we are going to deport these criminal aliens. Now, Trump is pissed because somehow we get the same judge on four cases and

That don't make sense, does it? So here's the post from Donald Trump on truth. He writes, how disgraceful is it that Judge James Boasberg has just been given a fourth Trump case, something which is statistically impossible. There is no way for a Republican, especially a Trump Republican, to win before him. He is highly conflicted, not only on his hatred of me.

massive Trump derangement syndrome, but also because of disqualifying family conflicts. Boasberg, who is the chief judge of the D.C. District Court, seems to be grabbing the Trump cases all to himself, even though it's not supposed to happen this way. Is there still such a thing as the wheel where the judges are chosen fairly and at random? The good news is that it probably doesn't matter because it is virtually impossible for me to get an honest ruling in D.C. Our nation's courts are broken.

With New York and D.C. being the most preeminent of all in their corruption and radicalism, there must be an immediate investigation of this rigged system before it's too late. You know, I got to be honest. I don't know what actually matters, Trump. I think Trump should just defy the orders. I think if the orders extend beyond the purview of the of the judge, then or his jurisdiction, ignore it. Trump can invoke state secrets. He can invoke privilege whenever he can. And he should. I think he absolutely should.

I refer to this as wartime, and that is a president must act with commensurate powers to those being waged against this country to preserve the union. As we are not in kinetic conflict, you don't need to do anything drastic that violates the Constitution like Abraham Lincoln did. I know I reference him a lot, right? Donald Trump need only say, I'll see you in court denied. Trump could simply say, I have heard the ruling of this court. Now let him. Here we go. I have heard the ruling of Judge Boasberg. Now have him enforce it.

Thank you. Have a nice day. What are you going to do about it? Now, I think Trump wants to avoid too much because there's always a political consequence. The midterms are coming up fine. But I will say this of the signal thing. As much as I literally don't care, it's not a story. The Democrats are acting like it's the apocalypse. And I'm going to be honest. There's even moderates who are like, this is crazy that happened. Guys, moderates, please. The government loops in journalists on these things all the time.

At bare minimum, it's a that was stupid. Anyway, we move on. What I would say of this is it distracts and Donald Trump needs distractions. So when you get these big stories, when they're when they're sending plainclothes officers to arrest students, that's a big story. The left can't muster it up. You know why? Poor Washington Post. They tried, my friends. They try. The Washington Post wants to bring this story up. Media does as well. Everybody wants to talk about it.

Unfortunately for you, CNN only cares about Signalgate because it makes Trump look stupid. So maybe they'd be able to get the word out if they weren't so distracted. Well, moving on, let's talk about how the narrative machine structures everything, though I think it's being crushed. Donald Trump says NPR and PBS, two horrible and completely biased platforms, should be defunded by Congress immediately. Republicans don't miss this opportunity to raid our country of this giant scam.

both being arms of the radical left Democratic Party, just say no and make America great again. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you one of the greatest videos we have ever seen in congressional history. Rep Tim Burchett calling out the current CEO of NPR. I believe that's Catherine Marr. I'd like to show you her Wikipedia real quick so you understand who she is.

She is the president and CEO of NPR, and she's a member of the Council on Foreign Relations who worked at UNICEF and the National Democratic Institute. Let's roll. I won't play the full thing. I'll play some of it. Did you say there's no bias on NPR? That is not a that is not a that is not a bias statement, ma'am. That is not even both parties wrapped themselves around this song every time there's a national conflict.

Lee Greenwood sings it and he does a beautiful job, but you say there is no bias in NPR. That is that individual's opinion and she, of course, is entitled to it, but that is not the position of NPR. Ma'am, you said in your opening statement that

that you were going to be transformative, and I believe you failed to do that. Let me ask you, why did you call President Trump a fascist and a deranged racist sociopath in 2020? Congressman, I appreciate the opportunity to address this. I regret those tweets. I would not tweet them again today. They represented a time where I was reflecting on something that I believe that the president had said rather than who he is. I don't presume that anyone is a racist.

You don't believe anyone is a racist? I don't start by presuming anyone is a racist, sir. Okay. Has NPR or PBS ever conducted an internal review to assess whether conservative or right-leaning perspectives are fairly representative news and programming?

Congressman, what we look at is the distribution of people who listen to our work. And we can tell you, and I'm proud to tell you that for our digital... This is amazing. ...our podcasts and our website, the distribution of Americans who come to NPR does reflect the political distribution of the nation. In fact...

The distribution on our websites, 33 percent of folks who come are conservative versus 28 percent who are liberal and the rest identify as independent. So the largest group is conservatives who come to NPR's websites. And it's funny because the question was about her bias.

And I have another tweet. Here we go. The question was about her bias. And she responds by saying conservatives watch NPR lady. Conservatives watch NPR. I should say listen to NPR and read NPR. And they rag on you all the time for being biased. That's why Burchette is asking you this. Yes, we get it. Conservatives are more likely to read the news from liberal outlets and conservative outlets. And liberals don't read the news at all. Now, this one. Holy crap.

This is really an amazing takedown. Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy? I believe that I tweeted that, and as I've said earlier, I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the last half decade. It has evolved. Why did you tweet that?

I don't recall the exact context, sir, so I wouldn't be able to say. Okay. Do you believe that America believes in black plunder and white democracy? I don't believe that, sir. You tweeted that in reference to a book you were reading at the time, apparently, The Case for Reparations. I don't think I've ever read that book, sir. You tweeted about it. Wow. You said you took a day off to fully read The Case for Reparations. You put that on Twitter in January of 2020.

I apologize. I don't recall that I did. I have no doubt that your your tweet there is correct, but I don't recall that. OK, do you believe that America is it? There's more to this. But talk about amazing work. This woman. So I see people in the chat are already mentioning that she's what someone said. She's on the board of the Signal Foundation. There you go. She's the board of directors of the Signal Foundation. Come on, man.

Come on. That's all I got to say. OK, so Elon Musk has got this salute emoji American flag tweet. Look how many layers to this tweet I have. Trump's truth post, Gunther Eagleman's response and Elon Musk's salute. Donald Trump says whatever happened to the eight million dollars given by our government to the radical left political magazine or whatever you'd call it owned by wealthy guys. This money should be taken back by Doge ASAP.

Also, is Stacey Abrams going to give back the two billion dollars they funneled into her environmental fund just prior to my assuming office? She went from one hundred dollars in donations to two billion in one day. Not bad. Get back the money. Gunther says Trump just directed Doge to rescind what money they can from news outlets like Politico and Stacey Abrams. They should have never been given the money. Indeed, my friends, highly conflicted. We are in an administrative conflict. Call it whatever you want.

Trump is going to keep getting assigned to activist judges. That was the plan. We talked about it last year. If Donald Trump wins, do you think they will simply just roll over and let him do whatever he wants? That being said, it's kind of feeling like we're winning, you know, and I'm glad because, you know, talk of civil war, kinetic conflict have been ongoing for some time. Well, I think it's fair that a lot of people will point to me and say, Tim, you talk about it quite a bit.

I didn't make it up, as I often say. And there are many other individuals building a career off it. Notably, that woman. What's her name? CIA. Is it Barbara something? Is it? Yeah, that's her name. Barbara F. Walters. I was kind of confused. Like, is it really Barbara Walters? She gives speeches. She wrote a book. This is her whole thing. But I'm I'm wondering now if Trump does win. Are we looking at remnants of the empire now?

scattering, being splintered into the wind? Maybe. This means Trump's going to have a rough go of it, but we're going to avoid the worst of the conflict. That being said, I don't know for sure. Strauss, how general generational theory predicts in the next couple of years, maybe one or two, it's going to get crazy. And it's kind of hard to it's kind of hard to argue against. I suppose we had the American Revolution and it's not even about the foundation of this country, but we had the American War for Independence, a 20 year period of conflict.

80 years later, the Civil War, 80 years later, we had an actual people to understand is the Civil War wasn't just 1861, 1865. You had seven years of bleeding Kansas. These are these are decade long, decades long periods. We then had World Wars one and two. And now, 80 years later, the question is, will something happen? Well, it is. We are in some kind of fourth or fifth generational conflict here.

This means insurgency, which we are seeing from the far left. It means we're seeing in the fifth generation psyops and public manipulation campaigns. We are dealing with administrative conflicts internally. That's less alarming, but still pretty serious. I mean, like judges is less alarming, but the trying to imprison Donald Trump is extremely alarming and his lawyers and his supporters in his cabinet. I'm hoping and maybe I'm being naive here.

That the current direction we're headed in is the back end. It's it's it's we're going to get resistance, but it's weak and it will fail. Trump signed an executive order requiring citizenship to vote. You've got the the defunding of USAID and the NGO machine. Trump is ripping to shreds the Democrat. I don't want to say Democrat, the uniparty election machine. So they cannot muster up a defense. So what happens?

Will Trump leave the White House in twenty twenty nine, January 20th as a as having succeeded as being a hero who repaired this country? Or will the uniparty machine launch its counteroffensive and then criminally charge him? He's going to be an old man. But I'm kind of leaning towards I think we may avoid the worst of things. What makes it hard for me to believe is that we're seeing an escalation in violence. We're seeing the administrative state strike back.

And I don't know why this pattern of every 80 years there being a conflict would break right now. Save communications. In the past wars, World War II, Civil War, Revolution, we didn't have light speed communications with cell phones and radio. And that can dramatically alter people's willingness to engage in conflict in ways we don't understand, either speeding it up or slowing it down. So all I can really say is, my friends, we'll see. In the meantime.

This country, if it's to survive, needs a strong social cohesion. Donald Trump needs to deport illegal immigrants. And there needs to be criminal action taken against the left. And the media needs to be brought to heel. I believe we need to ban pharmaceutical ads. I tell you this right now. Liz Wheeler made a great post about it, but it's right. I watch Fox News. Every other commercial is a drug. You may get a little excited when you shop at Burlington. Oh!

What a low price! You see that? They have my favorites like a whole new world! I can buy two! I'm saving so much! Burlington saves you up to 60% off other retailers' prices every day. Will it be the low prices or the great brands? You'll love the deals. You'll love Burlington. I told you so. You take away pharmaceutical ads, watch the corporate narrative machine implode.

No more no more sponsorships for big tech social platforms. No more TV. We got it. It is a largely government funded machine. Medicare, Medicaid and all the other things creates a loop of when the government gives money and subsidizes these these programs, those programs by ads. The media networks then try to perpetuate a narrative to protect those who give them money. I say shut it down. And people are like, but Tim, the First Amendment. And I'm like, do you want to win or not?

It's up to you. I think we should not be advertising any prescription medications. So I don't and I won't. I got no problem with supplements. Supplements. I am perturbed at the FDA classifying nicotinamide mononucleotide as a drug under investigation because it is largely just a supplement. But whatever. But there are a lot of people that want to sell you drugs, man. And I think the drugs are bad. OK.

I think what we need is fitness, health, proper diet, exercise. Let's bring back those, you know, that national program where we like have young people exercise, that fitness, presidential fitness program. Let's do things like that. My friend, smash that like button, share the show with everyone. You know, we're going to grab your Rumble rants right now and read what you guys have to say. Follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast. And I recommend this. Join Rumble Premium.

Go to rumble.com slash Timcast IRL. And we've got the Green Room podcast Monday through Friday. Hang out behind the scenes with us and our crew before the show starts. Uncensored. People kind of say whatever they want. Show does pretty well on Rumble. They feature us, but it's great. And you can also get our uncensored show. But more importantly, do not just be a passive observer of the news. Join the Timcast Discord server at Timcast.com. Click join us.

There's the Discord server. Get involved. It's a chat room. Tens of thousands of people all hanging out every day. If you're sitting at home and you're watching this on your TV or you're sitting on your couch, you've got ideas. I know you do. And it may be a single sentence you thought of. That's it. You may think, I don't actually want to be involved. But that single sentence idea could change the world so long as you drop that idea into the pool of our Discord community and those who are actively participating.

You come into that discord and you say, guys, have you considered this? You know what? Some people might say, yep, we did. Sometimes they might say, actually, that's a really good point. No one thought of. And then other people start sharing that idea. And then one day, a year from now, Donald Trump is on stage saying what you thought of. But as it goes, you miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take, my friends. So I just recommend this. Get involved any way you can. I think we only have a couple of rumble rants, to be honest, literally.

I see only a few of them. So if you want to get those in right now, I'm going to read them. And then we're going to blast you guys off to Russell Brand, who I believe will have the next stream up. Liberate USA says, do you do coffee subscriptions so you don't have to order it all the time? Indeed, good sir. Let's grab that old Casper right there. Check it out. Not only do we have the Casper Coffee Club, you get a mix. Changes everywhere.

It changes every time. And it is funny. There's only $257 left in stock, I guess. $40 a month. And after a year, you get a permanent discount. So basically the way it works, I think that's, is that how it works? I think the discount's supposed to be greater than that. Initially it's going to zero and then a dollar. We'll figure out how to increase that. I don't know. The idea is if you're a subscriber to the Casper Coffee Club, after a certain amount of time,

the price starts going down. So if you've been subscribed for over a year, we give you like the premium, bro, thank you so much. But you can go to any one of our coffees like Alex Stein's Primetime Grind, and I'm pretty sure you can order it on, I don't know how to do it. You add to cart, and then, how do you do subscriptions on this thing? What am I doing wrong? You should be able to set it up as a subscription. I don't know. All I know is you guys do. Man, I'm really bad at this, right?

shipping, dimensions, whatever. But I'll tell you this. Use promo code Rumble30. 30% off. Every time. Every time for you guys on Rumble. And subscriptions. So if you join any of these subscriptions, apparently I don't know how to actually buy a subscription, but we got coffee pods too. 30% off. Make it cheap for yous.

All right. It's the 90s says I'm Native American and I believe we need to maintain our American culture and stop importing foreigners. We're full, bro. I'm actually super down with the Native American stuff, too, because that's part of America as well. That's what I was saying about Assassin's Creed in the Assassin's Creed video game based on the American Revolution. He plays a Native American guy and I'm like, yo, that's America, too.

We came to this country. There was war. There was conflict, but not always. Sometimes the Native Americans, they helped us out. Now they're building casinos. Not all of them, but a lot of them. I'm a fan. I really am. I love this story. I really do. You have the first Thanksgiving. The pilgrims were dying. Native Americans were like, yo, check this out. Popcorn. And we were like, based. Maple syrup. Let's go. Let's take a look at the Native American casinos. I am a big fan. I really am. I think people got to gamble responsibly, but let me put it this way.

You've got these Native American reservations, this this narrative of a conquered land. Did the Native Americans start launching missiles into our cities? No. Did they start running around chopping people's heads off? No. Don't get me wrong. We had war and conflict before, but I'm saying in modern times, you know, they were like, hey, let's start businesses. It all started with Seminole in Florida. The Native Americans started.

They had a bingo hall. The state said, that's gambling. You can't do that. They said, we're federal, baby. You can't regulate us. Federal court said, that's true. The state has no jurisdiction over this. They abide by federal law. So then they were like, let's go. And they opened the Seminole Casino in Florida. Native American tribes across the country said, let's open casinos.

Now, I kind of don't like the expansion of casinos. Don't get me wrong. But think about it. A group of people that are supposedly oppressed who had their land stolen from them instead said, let's start a business, sell a product and get rich. Yo, bro, I love it.

You might argue that casinos are bad and they harm the community. But I'm like, if the great revenge of the oppressed Native American is to create entertainment, to allow Americans to enjoy their weekends, parties, see shows, have fine dining, and they get rich off of it, I'm like, oh, no. See, that's an amazing story right there.

And not every Native American tribe or reservation has done something like this, but I deeply respect that I do. And that's a part of America all the same, my friends. I think we got a couple more super chats. What have we here? Amtru says, don't try impeaching the judges. Defund them and abolish the court, not the judge. The whole court. Congress has the power. I hear that. One of the arguments being made is that if we defund the courts, we take away their ability to actually act.

And it brings them to heel. Congress is the power of the purse. Republicans have Congress. Tim's final graphics card says, will you ever have Russell on IRL? Anytime he wants. We were talking to him about it a while. Corn Pops has blast me off, Tim. No, but welcome to the chat. Jago Dragon says, have you looked into the final rule from the Fed that dictates RF antenna tech is military tech and must not be manufactured or designed in China or Russia? It's hitting the auto industry hard right now. Interesting. Very interesting.

Well, my friends, I believe we are just about at that time where we're going to send you off to Russell Brand to all hang out. Super excited. I don't think he's live just quite yet, but he will be soon. So we're going to prepare to launch that raid. Setting it up right now. I'll have the link in the actual. Here we go. Confirm the rates. Oh, Russell Brand. Russell, shout out. Big fan of your show. He's a good dude. Appreciate him.

And we're going to then drop that link in there for you guys. And we'll have that pinned to the top so you can see it. But that about does it for this morning show. I've been working too much. Look at my throat's on fire. So adding this hour-long show to my day may be melting my throat. But it's okay. I got lozenges, ibuprofen, cherry juice, and we'll figure it out. Follow me on X and Instagram at TimCast. Make sure you use promo code Rumble30.

If you'd like to get coffee at a discount, 30% off all Casperoo.com products. Thanks for hanging out. We're back tomorrow at 11 a.m.

For the Culture War podcast, it's going to be epic. We will be debating and we will join the Rumble Light Up in the second hour at noon. So, my friends, thank you all so much for hanging out. Stay tuned to Russell Brand. The raid has been launched and we will see you all next time.

The press release was announced this morning. They say the guy was 24 years old, was here as an illegal immigrant. This is just another instance of the Trump administration, of the DOJ, the FBI with new leadership actually going after criminals. And I got one simple question on this story. Why didn't the Biden administration go after these guys? Now, you also know there's this big signal scandal.

The Democrats are harping over the release of classified information and you can see priorities. That's really all that matters because I really I don't care to play this game. When I woke up this morning, I turned on the news. I start making up some waffle batter for me and the missus. And I watched the news before work. And there's a press conference happening. Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Governor Youngkin are discussing how they have arrested a leader, one of the most prominent MS-13 members on the East Coast.

How long has this guy been here for that? Nothing got done. Let me tell you, I doubt this guy just moved here in the past two months. The Trump administration's only been in for two months and they catch this guy. Now, I want to stress while keeping things kind of close to the chest, there are concerns about MS-13 in the area and the Biden administration did nothing about it. Now, with the signal chat thing, my point is ultimately this.

Right now, they don't care about gangs, terror, murder. We do. They care about whether or not Trump's team accidentally put a journalist on some signal chat in which nothing of consequence was actually shared with anybody. Sure, maybe you want to call it blockheaded, stupid or otherwise. I'm still of the opinion that.

Donald Trump intentionally or maybe his team intentionally put this guy on so they could get out the message they wanted to the people by manipulating the press. Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe I'm giving Trump too much credit. But I'll tell you what really matters to me. Arresting gang leaders, terrorists and dealing with violent crime.

What do you think the Democrats are focused on right now? They ain't focused on this. They're focused on meaningless scandals, meaningless. And they'll say something like, but this is top national security, Tim. This is this is the highest levels of the military leaking information. Guys, even if it was an accident, it didn't go to terrorists. It went to some journalist, some guy. In fact, it just benefited Democrats if that was the case.

They're turning a it could have been bad into a it is really bad. Now, don't get me wrong if it really was an accident. Kind of bad. But I don't know that it's as apocalyptic as they want it to be. I just don't see it. My concern is, are Americans going to be killed or harmed? And how are we supposed to live in this area? I live in this area. We I live in the D.C. metro, basically.

We're about an hour and a half outside of D.C. But all of this area is basically D.C., Baltimore. You've got smaller suburbs. You've got Loudoun County. We're we're probably 10, 15 minutes away from Loudoun.

That's where all of these NGOs were operating. All these lawyers lived. The old studio was literally 30 seconds. Not kidding. We drove over a bridge, Loudoun County, right there. So not in, but next to. This stuff matters to me. And it should matter to you that the Biden administration allowed these people to come into this country. Now, my friends, I'm going to read you the news. Bear with me. I am losing my voice for some reason. Maybe it's because I've increased my workload to...

Five. What am I doing? Five hours of recording every day now? Dude, I don't think I will physically stamina wise burnout, but maybe I've exerted just too much and we'll have to figure it out. You know, because what we do is I record an extra segment every day to put up on Fridays. So we get you a bonus Friday show because we also do the culture war on Fridays with clips. And now I'm doing an additional hour long show for Rumble and looks like my throat's going to cave in.

Or maybe I can just talk very quietly. Here's a story from Fox News. Top MS-13 leader arrested in Virginia. Authorities made the arrest just south of Washington, D.C. I got to say, guys, this freaks me out. But a huge shout out to Pam Bondi and Kash Patel and the DOJ. I got to be honest with you guys. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually trust the FBI right now.

I it's a weird thing to say during Trump's first term. I was like, I don't believe these people. I don't trust them. During Biden's first term, the FBI was terrifying. And every every everything having to do with the FBI was what are they actually trying to do now with Kash Patel there? I'm like, let me know what you need, buddy.

I actually think they're doing right, right now. And Kash Patel is not, as I've said, some crazy guy who's like abolished the FBI. He's always been rational and moderate. Man, I love this. Did you guys see the hearing on the signal stuff? He said the men and women of the FBI will dictate, not you. I'm paraphrasing, but I'm a big fan. And it's crazy for me to say, but

You know, growing up, you never have a lot of faith in these institutions because you just don't trust them. They say never talk to the cops, right? I believe in cash. I see stories like this. And I'm like, how come we never got stories like this in the Biden administration? It was just the border was wide open. Well, here you go. What are they talking about now? Here are the Democrats for you. Top Democrat suggests Trump should deport Melania. Dude, holy crap, man. This is the Democratic Party.

If you guys watched the signal hearings, Signalgate, they call it. You actually had one Democrats ask, you know what, guys, I'm not as professional as Tulsi or cash. And that's probably why I'll never be in such positions of authority. But I'm a big fan of both of them. He said, do you think Pete Hegseth was drunk when he leaked classified information? And it's a loaded question. It's a presumptive loaded question.

Classified information wasn't released. Democrats are just saying it is. But the issue is with the Signalgate stuff, whether or not it's classified is up to the administration. No targets were discussed. No vehicles were. I'm sorry. No weapons were discussed. What was discussed was a potential area, notably Yemen and vehicles, which.

It's on the line. And that's what makes this makes the whole story weird, in my opinion, is that if Pete Hexeth actually said we'll be striking these targets at this time with these weapons from these vehicles, that's full and out there strategy saying some F-18s will be launched around this time is kind of like with that incomplete information. It doesn't do much for anybody. It gives the press the perfect argument and the perfect left, right, back and forth. That doesn't actually get to the root of anything. That's why I think it's B.S.,

Here's a story. I know I'm ranting from Fox News. U.S. authorities have captured the MS-13 top leader for the East Coast, the FBI announced on Thursday. Officials captured the 24-year-old suspect in Woodbridge, Virginia, just south of D.C. Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel watched the arrest unfold from a nearby tactical operations center. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and Senior DOJ Official Emile Bove were also present. Quote,

They executed a clean, safe operation and the bad guys in custody. And thanks to the FBI, we got one of the worst of the worst of MS-13 off the streets this morning. Virginia and the country is a lot safer today. I love these. I love these people.

There's some stuff that I want to say, but I can't for security reasons. But let me just stress this issue of gang activity deeply affects all of us in this area because there are concerns about gangs operating in this area. And I can't get into why, because it does pertain ongoing law enforcement. But seeing this move, guys,

There have been reports that go back years about in Maryland, in New York, MS-13. Man, these guys are not to be trifled with. These these are are dangerous, dangerous people. These people command respect. And you might be saying you can't. No, no, no, no. You need to understand. I'm not saying they're good people. I'm saying if you do not respect what these men are willing to do, you find yourself in very, very bad places.

So what I mean by that is understand gravity. Understand what it means to call someone great. Great doesn't mean good. It means of consequence. MS-13 guys, these are not guys you joke about. There are a lot of gangs you can make fun of. We had gangs in Chicago. We'd make fun of them. Their names were silly. We had no problem making fun of them. MS-13 will flay you alive. Ain't no joke. They send messages to...

When you mess with MS-13, when you speak out against them, bad things happen to you. And we know when they're operating in the East Coast in these areas, what that means for locals, it starts getting terrifying. So when the FBI makes a move and takes out their leadership and says they're coming for the rest of these guys, people breathe a sigh of relief. These ain't no street gang, my friends. This is an international cartel recently designated as terrorists. Take a look at this from the U.S. Department of State.

They say they remain committed to protect their nation. They say that MS-13 and other gangs have been designated foreign terrorist organizations. I'll tell you why. We got stories. There was a let me see if I can find this. Let me see if I can pull this one up. There was a I don't invite anonymous hackers back in the day were operating on a Mexico website.

Where can we find this one? I don't know. And MS-13 reportedly kidnapped these guys, strung them up from a highway sign in Mexico, left their corpses dangling for people to drive past. You want to talk about some of these street gangs, these silly tough guys? You guys got to understand how serious MS-13 is. And I say that because I'm going to say it again. You do not disrespect MS-13.

MS-13 in lightly, lightly. Now, I think Kash Patel, and again, I want to stress what I mean by this is you don't have to like them. You can call them evil. You can call them very, very dangerous. But there are guys at bars, right? And they'll act tough, and you can laugh and be like, this guy's nothing. MS-13 guys, they play serious. That's why they're going after these dudes. Now, they're going to be sending these guys, I believe, to a El Salvadoran prison, right?

That ain't going to take too kindly. Kristi Noem tells all illegal immigrants to leave now or suffer the same fate as those shipped to El Salvador in prison. This actually terrifies me. But this is wartime. And I mean it. And I'm sick of excuses. Guys, now is not the time for weakness. Let me explain. I am terrified of these scenarios. Look at this. Look at this video of Kristi Noem.

Look at the men behind her shaved heads, gang tats in a supermax El Salvador in prison. The conditions are not so good. Trump brags about it. I don't like it. That worries me. I don't like it when Trump says, you know, to these to these far left terrorists, Tesla attackers, he says, maybe you'll spend 20 years in El Salvador and supermax. I'm like, bro, not a fan, not a fan at all. This stuff worries me. The idea that that you'd threaten American citizens with being sent to El Salvador. But I'm not so naive. I think.

You know, I've got a certain degree of influence, not the biggest guy, not the biggest podcast or anything like that. But we do we do here have some some degree of influence with the amount of content we produce out. We produce we put out an American citizen should never be sent to a foreign country. Supermax. I will not accept that. Maybe there are some circumstances I would prefer if someone was convicted of a death worthy trespass like capital punishment. I'd rather they be sent to El Salvador and Supermax than put to death.

Because I don't like the death penalty. I'm against it. I don't trust the state. But what I mean by this, let me play this video for you. What I mean by this is we've got terrorist organizations operating on our soil, threatening the American people. What do you do? Abraham Lincoln, as I've stated 50 billion times at this point, but I hope the message has been driven in, did drastic things.

So when people tell me, Tim, we're not in conflict, not at war, it's like, bro, criminal cartels have been flooding the border. They are murdering people. They are operating on our streets. They are selling drugs. Now, I'm not going to call it civil war. This is MS-13. This is Trendy Aragua, et cetera. But we are still dealing with large, powerful organizations that mean to do us harm. What we then should see is a declaration of mark and reprisal, not war.

This means that certain government institutions, law enforcement and private actors are empowered to stop these people and get them out of our country. That means if you are caught and suspected of being one of these invasive terroristic forces.

You go to El Salvador.

You will be removed and you will be prosecuted. But know that this facility is one of the tools in our toolkit that we will use if you commit crimes against the American people. So, you know, I'm conflicted. Can you as a nation just I'm hearing a lot of people say due process, due process. And I'm like, these guys got to process. What is what? What does that mean? It means, look, you came here illegally. You get deported. There's there's no special benefit in deportation.

They got one story right now about a guy who is a his brother's autistic and he had a pride autism pride tattoo. The left is now screaming. This guy was sent to Supermax in El Salvador because he had a tattoo honoring his brother. Guys, these are not citizens and they've broken the law entering this country. I do not believe in making examples of people. I don't. But that's what they're doing. And this is where I'm conflicted. Should I? Should you comment below? Let me know what you think. Should you?

defend those who would wrong you sometimes. And I mean it sometimes. Should you do it now? Should it be in this circumstance? The challenge here is to what degree do we join the left and the Democrats in shackling the Trump administration when dealing with a crisis of this magnitude? This was rivaling for the number one or number two most pressing concern among the American people.

The immigration crisis and we get jokes, we get insults. They treat it like a game. The Daily Beast top Democrat suggests Trump should deport Melania. What? Like, come on. This is what they're giving us. Maxine Waters giving a fiery speech.

He's going to undo the fact the Constitution allows those who are born here, even if the parents aren't documented, have a right to stay in America. If you want to start looking so closely to find those who were born here and their parents weren't documented, maybe you ought to first look at Melania. However, Melania did not receive birthright citizenship. She was born in Slovenia, entering the country to work as a model in an H-1B and became a citizen after marrying Trump in 06. Waters also flamed Musk's government. Is this a game? Man, this stuff blows my mind.

Now we're getting this crazy story. Look at this. The judge that was up against Trump over the deportations has been given four separate cases pertaining to Trump's executive orders and actions. And ain't nobody thinks that rant that's random. It's supposed to be that random judges are assigned this thing. It's a it's a wheel. It's a different judge. It's the same judge keeps getting all these cases. I just look at this stuff and I say, no, no.

We we have a problem with criminal gangs, cartels, terroristic activity, things that are decaying this nation and causing a strife. I'm going to stress this again. There's not I can't go into great details because it pertains to ongoing law enforcement. Understand what that means. But people in this area are deeply, deeply scared about what MS-13 has been doing. And the news this morning is a sigh of relief for so many people who live in the D.C. metro. I really do mean it.

When Democrats seek to obstruct Trump's actions in dealing with these criminal cartels, gangs, terror organizations and illegal immigrants, Democrats are basically saying we are not here for you. But take a look at the Tesla stuff. And I think that lays it out perfectly. Democrats told liberals told people buy electric cars. Now they're vandalizing your vehicles, threatening you, making it impossible for you to sell. What did you do wrong? You didn't do anything wrong.

That's the message I think that the average person needs to hear. Democrats seem hell bent on making sure everything is going to be worse. I don't understand it. What sane, rational American is going to defend MS-13 leaders in West Virginia? What sane, rational American is going to tell Trump to stop his efforts to deport criminal, illegal aliens? Democrats are. Yo, it's crazy. We have a country. We have morals. We have laws.

They're they're they're propping up these individuals like this gay barber. I'm not trying to be mean, literally a gay barber. This this guy, he was a professional runner or something. They came to this country illegally, exploiting our goodwill to take from us. They got caught up with Trendy Aragua. I don't know how much sympathy I can have. I can say this. How about here's a compromise after they go to a Salvadoran supermax?

If after a review, we find that they're illegal immigrants, they are because because if you're not an illegal immigrant, you shouldn't be shipped out of the country. But they're illegal immigrants, but they're not in the gang. Let them go. You open the door and say, welcome to El Salvador. Go have a good time. You're free from prison. Don't come back to the United States. Now, I know the reason Trump's doing it. They want to set an example. That's why Kristi Noem made this video. That's why she's standing in front of these people. They're trying to use deterrence.

I don't like people who shouldn't go to Supermax being sent to Supermax. I'm not a fan of that, but understand why they're doing it. They want to send a message to every single illegal immigrants. You will be sent to a Supermax. And what happened? My friends, illegal immigration has dropped substantially. It's basically gone. It's basically gone. It's wild to think about. Donald Trump has gotten illegal immigration down to single digits in some instances. That's crazy.

So then we look at what the Democrats offer you right now, according to Gallup and other polls. Immigration is no longer a top issue from the American people. Why? Within a month of Trump getting in, he shut the problem down. So what more can be said? Crisis averted. Now they're trying to make sure it doesn't start back up. If they can make sure people do not cross, we can reduce the resources at the southern border. We can get the illegal immigration way down the cartel smuggling, the human trafficking.

I can't believe it that I have to say this, but under Joe Biden, children were being sold into sex slavery and they did nothing about it. In fact, CBP was ordered to facilitate it. So you pick which evil do you want? Donald Trump doing whatever it takes to stop the trafficking, even if it means illegal immigrants are sent to supermax if they're not part of Trendy Aragua. I mean, they're still criminals. Or would you rather Joe Biden? Children were being sold into sex slavery by our own law enforcement. They were being trafficked here.

And CBP knew it and facilitated their transfer. Sorry, man. I may not like either, but one substantially worse. And we know it. I'll wrap it up there. Smash that like button. Share the show with everyone you know. You can follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast. We got more segments coming up and we'll see y'all shortly. NPR and PBS, you're done. The GOP is going to defund the chronically biased NPR and PBS after a disastrous hearing. And everybody agrees.

So this hearing that went viral has the CEO of NPR saying we're not biased. We are not. And then you get GOP reps being like, why did you say that we are white supremacists? Like, ah, whoops. And then he goes, why did you call Trump a fascist, fascist and a racist? And she goes, whoops. Every step of the way. She keeps she just keeps saying, whoopsie.

Now, NPR isn't directly funded by the U.S. government, but some funding does come from the government. Largely, I believe through USAID's gutting and moves. It's the what is it, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting? Yeah, a corporation for public broadcasting. I believe they are the ones who actually get the funds. So here we are. Check this out. This is the game that they're playing.

It's going to get nuked. It's extremely biased. I've got some clips for you. Let's start by showing you just how screwed up this this is with this testimony from Catherine Marr. That's going to make you laugh your ass off. There's no bias on NPR. That is not a that is not a that is not a biased statement, man. That is not even both parties wrapped themselves around this song every time there's a national conflict.

Lee Greenwood sings it and he does a beautiful job, but you say there is no bias in NPR. That is that individual's opinion and she, of course, is entitled to it, but that is not the position of NPR. Ma'am, you said in your opening statement that

that uh you were going to be transformative and i believe you failed to do that um let me ask you why did you call president trump a fascist and a deranged racist sociopath in 2020 oh congressman i appreciate the opportunity to address this i regret those tweets i would not tweet them again today i they represented a time where i was reflecting on something that i believe that the president had said rather than who he is i don't presume that anyone is a racist what

You don't believe anyone is a racist? I don't start by presuming anyone is a racist, sir. You don't think anyone's racist? Even some people are racist. Has NPR or PBS ever conducted an internal review to assess whether conservative or right-leaning perspectives are fairly representative news and programming?

Congressman, what we look at is the distribution of people who listen to our work and we can blah, blah, blah. She basically goes on to say 33 percent of our viewers are conservative, which is basically saying, yeah, yeah, they listen, but they know you're biased. Now, here's where it gets good. Check this out. Mr. Berliner was suspended for the outside work policy, not for what he said, sir. In terms of federal funding, the federal funds go to support our.

operation of the public radio satellite system which enables all of our local stations to be able to communicate information and broadcast including stated earlier ma'am funding is very fungible it flows wherever it needs to um i don't buy that argument i wonder if any of the members the committee would comment real quickly would you agree that um real america's voice newsmax fox or news nation if they were to see federal funds would you all support that yes or no

Look at that. Shaken his head. No, no, no. I'd have to get back to you on that. Oh, here we go. I actually don't have an opinion about that. I don't have an opinion about that. So that would be Congress's decision. Thank you, Chair Lady.

Amazing. And then, of course, you've got this other video, which is hilarious. Check this one out. America is addicted to white supremacy. I believe that I tweeted that. And as I've said earlier, I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the last half decade. It has evolved. Why did you tweet that?

I don't recall the exact context, sir, so I wouldn't be able to say. Okay. Do you believe that America believes in black plunder and white democracy? I don't believe that, sir. You tweeted that in reference to a book you were reading at the time, apparently, The Case for Reparations. I don't think I've ever read that book, sir. You tweeted about it. You said you took a day off to fully read The Case for Reparations. You put that on Twitter in January of 2020.

As in the colleges, I don't recall that I did. Okay. I have no doubt that. Of course she did. And that's why she was chosen as the president and CEO of NPR. Now, here's the game they're playing. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, CPB, is an American publicly funded nonprofit created in 1967 to promote and help support public broadcasting.

The corporation's mission is to ensure universal access to non-commercial high quality content and telecommunication services. It does so by distributing more than 70% of its funding to more than 1,400 locally owned public radio and television stations. Shut it down. Goodbye. This is not market. These stations are only up because the government's paying for it. Look at this.

Revenue, $582 million. I got a question for each of you. What could you do with $582 million? I'd imagine it's a lot. That's amazing. The CPP's annual budget is composed entirely of annual appropriation from Congress plus interest. So they're going to mention its appropriation for 2025 was $535 million, including $10 million in interest earned. The funds go to local public television stations,

Television programming grants, grants to radio, radio national programming, blah, blah, blah. Efforts to defund. Here we go. They're going to say the board competition, blah, blah, blah. You know, I don't really care. In 2004 and 05, people from PBS and NPR complained CBP was starting to push a conservative agenda. Board members replied that they were merely seeking a balance. You know what? You're right. Maybe they were seeking a conservative agenda. I got here's what we'll do. Shut the whole thing down.

I don't know why the government is in the business of espousing radio messaging. Not interested. That should be private. They're going to mention the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 requires CBP to operate with a strict adherence to objectivity and balance in all programs or series of programs of a controversial nature. It also requires it to regularly review national programming for objectivity and balance and to report on its efforts to address concerns about objectivity and balance.

Back to the question asked by Rep. Burchette in the beginning, which I will play for you. They represented a time where I was reflecting on something that you don't believe anyone is. Yes, conservative or right leaning perspectives are fairly internal review. Have you ever conducted internal review? Assess whether conservative or right leaning perspectives are fairly representative news and programming.

Congressman, what we look at is the distribution of people who listen to our work. What we look at? She's implying that they don't actually do an internal review to check for bias and objectivity, which is required under that law from 1967. I can tell you, and I'm proud to tell you, that for our digital, our podcasts and our website, the distribution of Americans who come to NPR does reflect the political distribution of the nation. In fact...

The distribution on our websites, 33 percent of folks who come are conservative versus 28 percent who are liberal and the rest identify as independent. So the largest group is conservatives who come to NPR's websites. So you believe that most Americans think President Trump is a fascist and deranged racist? With all due respect, my response would have been, ma'am, the question was, have you conducted an internal review? Not do you attract certain audiences?

If the argument she's making is that the audience shows we are not biased, I say no, because literally every conservatives thinks you are biased. It's just that conservatives actually listen to news from perspectives they don't get or don't agree with.

So they're saying after the committee, Ronnie Jackson of Texas is introducing a bill to pull all government funding from chronically biased outlets, NPR and PBS, which he says have been pushing Democrat talking points under the fake banner of public media. Jackson's bill titled the No Partisan Radio and Partisan Broadcasting Services Act or simply the NPR and PBS Act. Oh, that's really amazing. No Partisan Radio and Partisan Broadcasting Services Act. Brilliant.

It would fully cut off any direct and indirect government funding to both outlets, forcing them to compete instead of being propped up by the government. This comes amid Elon Musk sweeping cuts to wasteful government programs. The move also follows a high intensity House Doge subcommittee hearing in which NPR's Catherine Marr and PBS's Paula Kerger attempted to explain why their outlets still deserve public funding. They don't.

During the hearing, Maher conceded that NPR botched coverage of Hunter Biden's infamous laptops and we made a mistake. At the time, NPR representatives publicly called the story unserious and a distraction. Here's what's funny. They put out a tweet and it said, why aren't we covering the laptop? Because it's not a story. It's a distraction. Clearly, there was enough interest in the story that warranted a response. So they're lying.

She also expressed regret about remarks she made then about President Trump calling him a fascist and a deranged racist sociopath. Really? Meanwhile, Kierkegaard's PBS was slammed for producing such programs as Real Boy, which follows a transgender character exploring sexuality. Doge subcommittee chair Marjorie Taylor Greene bashed PBS as one of the founders of the trans child abuse industry.

Following NPR and PBS leaders testimonies, Green called the outlets out of touch with everyday Americans, saying, I think from what we have heard here today, the American people will not continue to allow such propaganda to be funded through the federal government and their hard earned tax dollars. I'm here for it, baby. Shut it down. How about this? Give me the money. How come they're not giving anybody else this money?

They are not special. Nobody should be getting free money. I'll wrap it up there. Follow me on Instagram at Timcast A2. We got more segments coming up for you guys. Actually, no, I think we just have Timcast IRL. Thanks for hanging out and we'll see you all tonight at 8 p.m. Who is Jonah Platt? Snow White producer's son unleashes on Rachel Zegler.

Zegler, of course, tanked Snow White. It is now the eighth lowest rated film on IMDb with a score of one point six out of ten. Well, what can I say, ladies and gentlemen? Get woke, go broke, I suppose. Rachel Zegler is.

She's got a whole bunch of viral tweets where she's saying things like free Palestine. She's saying F Donald Trump. She's saying she is nasty and she's laughing in an empty theater as the film tanks. The the movie's producer went off on Instagram, basically calling her out for having destroyed this film and this viral tweet from Colin Rugg.

The Son of Snow White producer Mark Platt absolutely unleashes on Rachel Zegler for ruining his father's movie. Jonah Platt is ripping the 23-year-old actress for getting political and ruining Snow White. The comment from Platt was found on Instagram after one user asked why his dad flew to New York City to talk to Zegler about tanking the movie. Platt specifically blamed Zegler and her narcissism for the film's flop. So here's the post.

Your dad flew to New York City to reprimand a young actress. Any words on this? Because that's creepy as hell and uncalled for. People have the right to free speech. No. Shame on your father. Jonah Platt, son of the producer, responds.

You really want to do this? Yeah, my dad, the producer of enormous piece of Disney IP with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, had to leave his family to fly across the country to reprimand his 20-year-old employee for dragging her personal politics into the middle of promoting the movie for which she signed a multi-million dollar contract to get paid and do publicity for.

This is called adult responsibility and accountability. Interactions clearly hurt the film's box office. Free speech does not mean you're allowed to say whatever you want in your private employment without repercussions. Tens of thousands of people worked on that film, and she hijacked the conversation for her own immature desires and the risk of all the colleagues and crew and blue collar workers who depend on that movie to be successful.

Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged. Bravo. Now, I think this guy is right, but he also runs a podcast called Being Jewish with Jonah Platt, where he interviews prominent Jewish individuals about anti-Semitism and their experiences and being a Jewish. I think it may not just be that she's a narcissist who bombed the film, which she did, but

But she is anti-Israel. And so this contention really is playing things up. You've got Gal Gadot, who served in the IDF, working alongside Rachel Zegler, who is posting online pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli things. By all means, have whatever opinion you want on Israel. I ain't talking about that. I'm just saying that divide is there. Now you've got the pure irony of this video. And to everyone who hates when I win.

The winged victory came to the Louvre in pieces, and people still line up to see her. And I can only hope that despite my flaws, and despite my cracks and my breaks, and there are many of them, that at every premiere and everything I do, people will wait in line to see. Well, they didn't.

Wow. And there she is cheering for herself in an empty theater. I'll turn it down a little bit so we can play that again. And there's her name on the screen for Snow White, which is a bomb, a massive bomb. And I don't know, she might have gotten a private screening, but basically everybody, the Hollywood Reporter, they're all coming out saying box office bomb. Wow.

Look at this one. They're trying to be nice. How Snow White landed in potential bomb territory. So the funny thing is the estimates on the cost of production, the reshoots and the marketing. Six hundred million dollars. Let's pull up the Snow White current box office and see where they're currently at. I think they're like 80 that 80. Is it worse than that? Ninety two. Take a look at this from Wikipedia.

The budget was 240 to 270 million. Then you've got marketing. Marketing is usually about one and a half times the actual budget. Crazy, right? So you're looking at like 500 million just right then. But they do reshoots. A lot of them. So we're looking at an estimated 600 million dollars for which they've brought in only 92 million. That's crazy, man. Take a look at some of this over on X. We can see some of her posts.

The gas stove tweeted, poor Disney didn't know they were hiring a commie. No excuses, man. Did you not do a background check on the person you hired for PR? There's one reason to hire celebrities for shows, okay? And it's not talent. There are a lot of talented people who work in acting, who can sing. I've seen Broadway. I've seen, I went and saw what, Newsies a while ago? And I'm looking at these people, I'm like, they can sing and they can act. They ain't in the big movies. Some of them may be.

But they get Rachel Zegler instead. You hire these people because they're going to promote your film because they're going to go on social media because they're going to be America's darlings. The producer has a point. Rachel dragged her politics into the movie promotions, thus exacerbating the negative PR. Just read this, Colin. You'll see where I'm getting at. Here's one from Rachel Zegler in August, literally only like six, seven months ago.

I love you all so much. Thank you for the love for 120 million views on our trailer in 24 hours. What a whirlwind. I am in the thick of rehearsals for Romeo and Juliet. So I'm going to get out of here. Bye bye for now. And always remember free Palestine. By all means. I don't care if you're for or against Israel-Palestine, but it's a divisive issue. And that's going to get people going. Here's a video. Theater's empty. This is what we've been seeing. Let me see. I wonder if anyone posted any of other tweets. She has a bunch of other. Here's a funny meme.

Goku telling Vegeta and Dragon Ball Z, let's fight somewhere empty. And then they're fighting in a Snow White in a theater playing Snow White. That's a good one. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Snow White ratings. So Snow White currently has 163,000 ratings, giving it a 1.6 out of 10. IMDB calls this unusual activity. Okay. So you think 163,000 people are review bombing? They are.

They are my friends. Excuse the lozenge. My throat's kind of messed up. They're review bombing. They are review bombing. There we go. I said it. You know, I know because 163,000 people probably didn't see the movie. No, they did. But I doubt everybody who watched the movie then went to IMDb and then gave it a bad rating. Take a look at this. So these are the lowest rated movies by IMDb users, and they don't have Snow White on the chart just yet.

I've sorted this by IMDB rating from lowest to highest. Now, they give different numbers because they weight the amount of ratings against it and they have a different rating system. Stupid. I don't care. I want to know how many stars it has. If you've got more than 5,000 ratings, you're probably fine, right? So the first is Smolensk. It has the lowest rating at 1.2, followed by Daniel the Wizard, Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas, and

Food fight Turks in space. The cost of deception. Super babies, baby geniuses to what? Oh, man. Pledge this now. Pledge this as one point seven and super babies has one point five. That would put Snow White in eighth place for the lowest rated film on IMDb. I do have questions.

What's up with the Daily Wire's Snow White and the Evil Queen? IMDB says it's expected in 2025 and it should be coming out with Brett Cooper. I've heard nothing about it. So maybe I'm living under a rock, but they put out one teaser trailer, nothing at all else. It's not the hardest film in the world to make, to be completely honest. I mean, for real. I mean, maybe the scene where the animals are singing and dancing. But other than that, evil wicked wish has magic mirror on the wall. Who's the fairest one of all? And then

She learns it's Snow White, says a guy to go kill Snow White. Snow White runs away. The guy spares her. And then she meets dwarves. Then they dance and they sing. And then the witch, the queen poisons her. And then she gets struck by lightning. And then the prince kisses her and she wakes up happily ever after. That's the movie. So if you scroll down, you can see that the original Snow White from 1937, isn't that crazy? Has a 7.6. But look at this. Snow White live.

They already got a live action remake of Snow White. The classic Disney animated film performed as a live stage show at Radio City Musical has an 8.6, 8.4, sorry. Look at this. Whatever this Snow White is, I don't even know who's in this. Carolyn Thompson. Here's a trailer for it. This has got a better rating from 2001. Looks like a Hallmark movie. But there you go, man.

Rachel Zegler, you reap what you sow. I can't believe anybody would hire people like this. I'm going to say it again. You hire people to do PR for you. So tell the people to stay out of politics because all you're going to do is burn your your movie to the ground. To be fair, this movie was rife with controversy from the get go. So that's what you get.

I'll wrap it up there. Stay tuned. We got more coming up. We'll see you on the next segment. This has to be one of the most epic takedowns I have ever seen on the corporate press. Quote, answer my question. Trump official turns the tables on CNN's Caitlin Collins by citing lawsuit against her network.

Collins tried deflecting in an interview with the secretary of Veterans Affairs into Signalgate, to which he said, I'm not involved and can't answer. She tries again. Bang. He immediately says, tell me why you defamed a veteran and were forced to pay out five million dollars. Roll the tape.

My next source tonight is in the administration and is the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Doug Collins. I should note, no relation, Mr. Secretary. Thank you so much for being here. You served in the Navy and the Air Force. How would you have felt if information like this was talked about in an unclassified group chat if a Navy fighter pilot, you know, is in the air?

I think the one thing, Calum, it's good to be with you tonight. I think the president and those involved in the chat, which I was not involved in the chat, have explained that. I trust the president's opinion on that. I trust what's been going on. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. My opinion is that my job is to take care of veterans in this country as they come out of service, and that's what I'm going to continue to do.

We heard from some of your former colleagues up on the Hill today, some Republicans who said they don't like how the administration is handling this, that they're kind of tying themselves in knots by saying it wasn't classified information. Do you believe that a mistake was made here, though, to have this conversation, to add a reporter and to have it on an unsupported, unclassified group setting?

Yeah, I've just told you, I've just answered the question. I wasn't part of it. And, you know, I'm not going to speculate more than what the president's already talked about. And those who've been involved have talked about. We'd love to talk about the veterans. Yeah. And I do have questions about the veterans. But given what we saw with the group chat and how this was used, you are a member of the cabinet. You obviously know these other members, several of them who were in there. Is this typical for the cabinet to have conversations over signal? Is this something that you use?

All right. Well, Caitlin, as soon as you undoubtedly do not want to talk about the VA, I have a question as VA secretary is cabinet. I want to ask you because I've been curious about this because my job is to take care of veterans. And I would like to know why CNN is hostile to veterans, especially one in Florida, where you just had a five million dollar defamation suit taking offense at a veteran who was trying to help people. In fact, one of your employees.

actually said we're going to nail him. I have a question for you, Kalen. Is that employee still employed? Are you really concerned about veterans? So if we don't want to talk about veterans now, you want to talk about everything else, I'd like to hear from CNN as the veteran cabinet secretary why CNN seems to have a problem with veterans.

Well, Mr. Secretary, respectfully, my question was about whether or not you as a member of the Cabinet use this. And respectfully, I'm conducting the investigation. And I do have a lot of questions for you on Veterans Affairs. But I don't think it would be unwarranted to ask if you as a member of the Cabinet. And if you want to continue this like this, that's fine. But there are VA employees who are working very hard. There are veterans who get their care from the VA and they get their benefits from the VA.

And it does me no good to speculate on something that I've already asked and answered. So I've asked and answered your question. Why don't you answer mine? Are you still in this person still employed who said they were going to nail one of my veterans who you had to do a $5 million award jury because of defamation? And then you settled the case. Answer my question.

Respectfully, sir, I'm asking the questions here, and I have no involvement in referencing there. But if you don't want to answer the question of whether or not it's commonplace for secretaries in the Cabinet to use Signal, you are running the Veterans Affairs, and we do have a lot of questions about that because there's been big things happening. You and I were just talking about this before this interview started, and I told you I'd get to these questions about Veterans Affairs. You don't want to answer that one. We'll talk about what the VA did announce, that they were suspending $2 billion in plans.

Epic takedown from Doug Collins. No relation to Caitlin Collins. Take a look at this from January. CNN settles with U.S. Navy veteran after defamation verdict. This is just two months ago. Five million dollars. They ran a 2021 segment on evacuations in Afghanistan. And they were claiming this guy was basically a scammer. Following the verdict, the two parties settled the case as punitive damages phase was underway.

We remain proud of our journalists and are 100% committed to strong, fearless, and fair-minded reporting. Really? They said they wanted to get this guy. They were going to nail this guy. He didn't do anything wrong. It was a legitimate business. That's the reporting. CNN decided they were going to turn this guy into a villain. You know what I love about this exchange? Respectfully, I'm asking the questions. Yo.

Homie already told you. I can't speculate. I mean, and you know what I got to say to Doug Collins? He respectfully answered her question. The first question she asks. And he says...

Can't really talk about that because I wasn't involved. You know, the president's issued statements, so I can't really speculate as to what was going on. She keeps on going. It's a dirty game. They want videos like this. They want resting Joker face Caitlin Collins to get into it with people like Doug Collins so that they can generate viral clips because they got nothing else. There you go, man.

I was not involved in the chat. I trust the president's opinion on it. And then they go off. Let me pull up some more on this defamation from CNN because they don't even want to actually get into it. But they do have to disclose. Here we go. Actually, let's put the New York Times on this one. I want to really no, no, no, no. NPR, because I want to really sink this one in for you guys that don't know. NPR was just on the hot seat in Congress the other day. And you had the CEO of NPR.

Getting read her own tweets where she said things like this country's addicted to white supremacy and white people are racist and Donald Trump is bad. And she kept saying, like, I regret all those. I would I would never do that again. You know, I say we pull all the funding from NPR, which is a little bit. Here's how it works. The U.S. government funds public broadcasting. It's a corporation for public broadcasting or something like that. Not NPR.

But that money goes to fund all the local radio stations. So NPR itself is different, but they're playing a circuitous game to get funding, your tax dollars, to broadcast left-wing ideology. You know what the best part of this is? I should probably do another segment on it. When asked, would you all agree that we should provide federal funding to Newsmax, Breitbart, Fox News, News Nation? And they're like, no, no. And then a handful of them go, I have no opinion. I have no opinion.

Take a look at this. You know, this is so brutal, man. CNN investigation. Afghans and activists report demands of 10 to 14 K for attempts to get family members out of the country. This is how evil these people are. Look at this. CNN reached a legal settlement with a security contractor on Friday, a veteran. Details of the settlement are not disclosed, but jurors found the network should pay five million dollars to U.S. Navy vet Zachary Young for lost finances and suffering.

CNN story aired in November 2021, focused on Afghan's concerns that they face extraordinary costs in a black market to secure safe passage. Young was the only security contractor named the piece, however, in a caption warrant he offered no guarantee of safety or success. He was not directly accused of operating in a black market in the television or written versions of the story, but the words did appear in the caption on TV's version of the story.

On the witness stand during trial, CNN editors defended use of the term black market, saying it meant operating in unregulated circumstances, such as the chaos of Kabul at the time. Young's lawyers noted that dictionaries consistently ascribe illegality to the term black market literally means you're operating outside the law.

The jury found CNN liable for defamation per se, meaning it had harmed Young by the very words it chose and for defamation by implication, that is, and it harmed his reputation by the implications that a reasonable reader or viewer might take from the story.

Young Young's lead attorney, Val Friedman, had argued that CNN willfully damaged Young, costing him millions of dollars and causing irreparable personal harm and that the network should be punished for it. Toward the very end of his closing arguments, Friedman told the jury they had the rare opportunity to hold the press accountable. Media executives around the country are sitting by the phones to see what you do. CNN's executives are waiting in their boardrooms in Georgia to see what you decide. Make the phones ring in Georgia. Send a message.

After the verdict, Judge William S. Henry instructed jurors they could only find punitive damages against CNN for its actions in the case at hand, not over any other story or issue. The settlement stayed their hand at setting punitive price tag. Friedman, Young's lead attorney, tells NPR in an emailed comment that he would not be happier with the he could not be happier with the result. We cleared my client's name, won punitive damages and then settled to avoid protracted appeals. So how about.

It's not a story.

Literally not a story. And the Democrats are acting like the apocalypse is happening. And I'm just like nothing happened and none of it affects the American people. That's why I think it was a hoax. That's why I think Donald Trump did it on purpose. To be completely honest, I think that the signal thing may have been intentional because now instead of talking about bombings in Yemen, instead of talking about the economy or tariffs or deportations,

Caitlin Collins and the rest of her ilk in the media won't shut up about Signalgate. Smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know, follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast. Stay tuned, more segments to come and we'll see you all shortly. I don't seem to remember the Studio Ghibli movie about the Jewish guys climbing in the tunnels in New York, but apparently it exists. No, it does now. This viral trend is taking the internet by storm and it's...

shockingly and amazingly hilarious and offensive all at the same time. But you know what? Everybody knows the more offensive the joke, the better it is. So Chet GPT released their new updated image generator. And I was goofing off with it. But everybody's been sharing these giblified memes. And it has to be some of the funniest things I've ever seen. You know, we've got this video from Slatsism on X, Pagliacci the Hated,

and Redux Magazine. And I chose this image for the opening of the video because I deemed it offensive enough, but funny enough because it was a real news story. And this is gibblified. Some of the most shockingly offensive things. 9-11. There's destiny. I don't know what that's all about. But it's not the only one. You've got a bunch of these gibblified memes that

If you guys know what this image is, OK, there's so much. Hernan Cortez on X says Studio Ghibli was crazy for doing this. Holy crap, dude. What else do I have pulled up? This one's pretty cool. Donald Trump, after getting shot, gibblified. So basically what you do is you open chat GPT. You need the paid service. You upload a photo and then you put Gibble in the style of Studio Ghibli.

Now, what's crazy is we've tried doing other styles and they get rejected. So I took a picture of my friend and to my friends and I said, make them anime and fighting each other. And it made it look like anime was crazy. And then my friend said, put it in the style of Yoshitaka Amano, who is Final Fantasy. And it was like, no, I won't do this. So it's kind of crazy that you could do Ghibli.

And you can giblify everything, which is just plum nuts. This Joseph Swan tweeted, I found the limit. And it's Justin Trudeau doing blackface. And it says Studio Ghibli style. And Chad GPT says, I can't help with that request. Let's just start. Here's here's Elon Musk gibblified. I'm going to play for you this video of all these different gibblified means. Yo, this is good stuff. It's got this this music.

So that's J.D. Vance. Here's Kanye West. And there's Japanese under him. Apparently the Japanese says something like it was a Jewish doctor. Then you've got, what's next? Joe Biden sniffing a child. And it's not just images. They've been turned into movies. Here's the guy at the Burger King hat screaming. Luigi Mangione security footage.

A Jewish guy climbing into a tunnel in New York. That was a real news story, guys. I'm not trying to be offensive to anybody. It's a dude with a trophy and two sad little girls. Here's American Psycho. And then 9-11. George W. Bush being told about it. What's next?

Oh, look, it's Sam Hyde screaming that he's coming for Hassan. And then you've got Destiny and a guy and a woman dancing behind him. I guess it's his wife or something. And then it just says X, Studio Ghibli style. Dude, this is absolutely nuts. VentureBeat's got the story. Studio Ghibli AI image trend overwhelms OpenAI's new GPT-4O feature, delaying free tier. Guys,

I can't show it on this one, but I can tell you somebody gibblefied Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd. It's Studio Ghibli style. It is. It's just the most hilarious thing ever. I'm sorry. Like, look, we were hanging out in the green room. You guys got to watch the green room podcast, by the way. And we were filming a bunch of jokes. And then we had one of our filmers. He Sam was filming it. He's not here anymore, but Sam was filming it.

And I was like, wait, wait, turn the camera off. And he goes, oh, now I know it's going to be funny. And then we made extremely offensive jokes because we were adults here. But I keep it family friendly. So so here's a story. They say if you've been on the Internet or at least a social network acts in the last day or so, you're likely to come across colorful, smooth anime style images of famous photographs rendered in the style of Japanese studio Studio Ghibli.

You know, they Princess Mononoke, the boy in the crane, my neighbor Totoro. I got to recommend Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away, of course. Although you've got Kiki's Delivery Service. Is that what it was? Am I getting that one right? Yeah. Kiki's Delivery Service, right? That's Studio Ghibli, too. That's an old one produced by Hayao Miyazaki. Yeah, crazy. He got a lot of good ones, whether it's current President Trump and the iconic image of Tank Man during the 1989 presidential.

Osama bin Laden, Jeffrey Epstein. Oh, this is crazy. Sam Rockwell's iconic cameo in White Lotus. Here's, you don't have the cards right now, Trump yelling at Zelensky. See, some of these, they just put them in the articles because they don't want to be too offensive. What if Interstellar was a Ghibli animation? Here's the ah meme or whatever. Eh, whatever. Much of this is thanks to OpenAI's new update and the GPT-4-0 model behind ProPlus, blah, blah, blah.

While GPT previously allowed users to create images from text prompts, it did so by routing them to another separate open AI model, DALI 3. But the new GPT-4 model is so named with O because it's OmniModel. The company trained it not only on text and code, but also on imagery. Let me show you guys a gag that I made, and then someone turned it into a magic card. And it's pretty amazing. So take a look at this. I put in a GPT-4. Here's what I did. Look at that. That's me.

So when I do my morning show, I just take a screenshot of my face and I give it to our graphic editor who then makes the thumbnail. I pasted it to GPT and said, make him into anime. And that's what we got. And I'm like, wow, you know, all right, I guess. And then you've got this one.

Where I said, I told ChatGPT to make an image of me debating a liberal. And it's me doing kung fu against a demon. I'm just kidding. Liberals don't look that cool. No, I actually said, of that other image, now make him anime and fighting a demon. Or something. I said, what did I say? So then, what is this? Privateer of the East Official made this into a full frame Magic the Gathering card. Guys, no.

Music and art is done. It's done, man. There's a lot of artists that are freaking out saying our jobs are over. But I don't know what to tell you. You can't get the cat out of the bag. Or you can't get the cat in the bag. The cat is out of the bag. You get the point. Check this out. Let me see if I can play this song.

This is a Donald Trump truth post. This is a Donald Trump truth post.

Which according to virtually all legal scholars and pundits has no merit and should never be solely meant to occlude an eventing me from proudly attending my son's graduation. Seems very unfair, doesn't it? But this whole event is every one of the many fake cases that are perpetuated by the White House in order to help the worst president in history by far.

Yo.

OK, I took a truth post from Donald Trump and I put it into Suno, S-U-N-O. And I said gangster rap, rock opera, jingle disco, heavy metal. I just kind of went nuts with it. And it made that. And then I made another one. Listen to this. This conflict with Trump. Hey, judge, don't let me respond. People that all cheat, lie.

And spew it all day long. He is running roughshod. Lawyers and legal team. The New York system of justice. Be decimated by critics. From all over, I want to speak. Or at least be able to respond. Ration interference. Ration interference. Ration interference. At least be able to respond.

So this was one of Trump's truth posts from last year or whatever, where he was saying that it's they're interfering in the election by trying to put me in jail. Dude, this took me 20 seconds to make. And that is an old model. The newer model on Suno. And there's also Udio, not to mention GPT, bro.

You can make crude drawings. Like, let's say you're not good. You make crude drawings. You upload them and say, smooth these out, make them Studio Ghibli style or anime style. And you can make your own comic. You can make your own music. You can then take the images and have them animated. You can then have an AI voice, make it into a full anime. Dude, this can be done in less than you can make a full anime in a week. That's how crazy things are.

We are probably a year out from all of these services being combined. And GPT is probably going to do it. And you're going to be able to go on and say, write me a plot. I've been I've been talking about this, man. Write me a plot for a story about Donald Trump getting spider powers. And it's going to make it and it's going to make an anime and it's going to have Trump's voice. Now, there's there's questions about whether you're allowed to use people's likeness and voices. Public figures are allowed.

Welcome to the future, ladies and gentlemen. We're all laughing about the Studio Ghibli stuff. Bro, musicians are done. And I keep hearing from people, nah, man, people are never going to go for the AI-generated stuff over the human stuff. It's all supplemental right now. Meaning someone's going to be asking AI for advice, for stories. They're going to ask for backtracks. They're going to say, give me a 4x4 drumbeat at 130 BPM. They're going to use that drumbeat.

And you're not going to know. And you're going to be like, no, that's an artist I like, bro. They're using AI in everything. Many people are denying it, but it's happening. It's going to get weird. But this is still fun, by the way. Take a look at these memes on X. I'll leave it there. Smash the like button. Share the show. Follow me on X and Instagram at TimCast. Thanks for hanging out. We'll see you on the next segment.
