Rachel Maddow SLAMS MSNBC As RACIST For Firing Joy Reid, Liberal Media HAS COLLAPSED | Timcast LIVE
02:02:35 Share

Joy Reid cried. Rachel Maddow lied. The days of the corporate press are coming to an end. So quite literally, Joy Reid cries. Her show's been canceled. We saw the news yesterday. She issued a statement on her show and she urged everybody to follow her on social media where she will likely not succeed, but sure.

Rachel Manow then went on her show and called MSNBC racist. I love this timeline. I'm not kidding. She flames MSNBC bosses for purging non-white anchors. Well, there's some new reporting shedding some light onto what exactly happened.

with the termination of Joy Reid's show. And apparently she is an unhinged kook who was ranting and getting overly emotional. Uh-oh, they're going to call that sexist. But that's what the reporting says. Her unhinged tirades were viewed as over the top. She had this video where she said, who cares about white women's tears? Megyn Kelly responds, says, well, guess who's crying now? Goes viral. Don Lemon then makes a video saying, F you. And I'm sitting here being like,

It's like idiocracy. You know what I mean? Look, I get it. This is where we are for better or for worse. But I remember at least maybe we romanticize the era where we had the nightly news anchor you could trust. Probably couldn't. But what did we know? And everything was more formal and professional. Now it's all high school. That's where we're going. Infantilizing civilization.

where instead of MSNBC, CNN or Fox or anybody, instead of that, well, actually, Fox does fairly well with this. But instead of these networks saying, here's the news and here's what happened, they're complaining about each other to each other. Now, I get it. YouTube's a different beast. We often have criticisms for other people in media, too. That was always allowed. But it's become so much of that. Guys, let me tell you.

Rarely on TimCast or TimCast IRL do we dedicate segments to going after YouTube drama. And there are a lot of channels that do, and they make substantially more money than we do. And that's the challenge, right? Who do you want to be? What do you want to build? What do you want to leave behind? Now, I'm sure there's a bunch of leftists who say, you know, they accuse me of engagement bait and rage bait and all that stuff. And I'm like,

Look, man, I got my limits. You know what I mean? I think what I think I put what I put. I did not call Rachel Maddow's statement on race an unhinged rant, as sometimes I have referred to things she said and others as unhinged rants when they are.

And I know unhinged rant is a great keyword that generates lots of traffic, but I don't think it was an unhinged rant. I think Rachel Maddow actually calmly articulated her frustrations with MSNBC. I disagree with it. And then she made implications that MSNBC was racist for firing non-white anchors. So I don't think it's, you know, an unhinged rant would be if she was like crying. Joy Reid had an unhinged rant where she's crying and it's like unhinged, meaning the logic is broken and you're overly emotional.

Now, I'm not going to claim that I'm perfect by no means, but at least I try to be cognizant of what the media is turning into. And when the cable TV anchors break down and start slinging mud all at each other, I'm just like, is this what you want? Seriously? It is.

You know, we had a joke with the music stuff we were working on. We're going to write a song called Is This What You Want? And it's going to be insipid, droll, pop garbage about hanging out at a club. And the lyrics would be like 10 words in it. And the hook to the song was, is this what you want?

And it's a double entendre, meaning, is this what the audience really wants? They don't want meaningful, passionate, intelligent lyrics. Like the song Like a Stone by Audioslave. Talk about beauty. And it pains me that Tom Morello did the guitar for that. But hey, credit where credit is due. Talk about one of the greatest songs ever written. But no, I'll tell you what people want, my friends. They want...

Beast Games. Mr. Beast. Shout out to him. Actually, Mr. Beast is kind of all right. I'm not the biggest fan. He's gotten some weird scandals. But I don't mind regular old entertainment. If we're supposed to be the cream of the crop, the best of the best in commentary, culture, and affairs, is this what it's become? MSNBC has fallen to lows.

That is what you get. Now we got Don Lemon, a man who for some reason was propped up on CNN with no talent, launches a YouTube channel. Hey, to his credit, he's got 500,000 followers on YouTube. Congratulations, I guess. You're a small to medium-sized YouTuber now who's probably making a low six figures. How's that million-dollar contract feeling now?

But he comes out and he starts cussing at Megyn Kelly. Why? Because it's getting him attention. And here I am talking about him. I'm not going to talk about him for the same reason others are. But if you look at his videos, he gets like 10,000 to 30,000 views for video. That's not bad, man. He might be getting $600 per video with a sponsor spot plus another $100 from programmatic ads. Wouldn't you like to talk about nonsense for 10 minutes and get $700 for doing it? So rag on him all you want. The dude's making money. But his latest video where he insults Megyn Kelly, now he's getting, what did he get, $60,000?

$60,000, so he's going to be able to pull in over a grand? Heavens to Betsy. This is the motivation these people have. They were never good people. They were never—I'm not going to call them the stupidest people, but they were never talented super geniuses. They were capable of saying words to a camera. And for a long time, the media said—

We want to maintain some decorum in media to compete. We want the viewer to look at us as the best and most professional because we are the anchors. We are those who are giving truth to the masses. And then along came the Internet and people now had a choice. Inflammatory emotion, mission driven storytelling took over and the corporate cable channels went in that direction. Now we can we can roast the corporate media and the liberal narrative machine for falling apart. And it is.

But there still are major contenders that are popping up. So it would be foolish. You know, last night we had Joey Manorino on and he's basically saying they're all gone. I said, that's not the case. You are going to see the likes of MSNBC, Comcast, former parent company, the DNC. They are going to be sinking money into prominent liberal personalities with big YouTube channels that are being put on the front page of YouTube, despite the fact they lie all the time. They are going to get access you could only ever dream of because they're willing to lie.

And that's the game we're playing right now. But let's break it all down. Where the current state of media is. And I got news for you guys. I asked our old friend Chet GPT, which has become slow and useless, by the way. I don't even know why I use it. To break down the demographics of the corporate media environment. And it's now. The death of the corporate liberal environment is now. I won't bury the lead.

The average viewer for MSNBC is 70 years old. And while many people say, yeah, but life expectancy is 78. In fact, cognitive decline and how would you say infirmity? Is that perhaps the word? I don't know. But you get what I'm saying.

hits between 65 and 70. Now, I know a lot of 65-year-olds who are totally fit, healthy, incapable. I'm not saying that they are all incapable of looking at the TV or watching the news. But this is the point where many people start to face cognitive decline. And around this age, they are no longer watching, actually watching MSNBC, more importantly, buying products, meaning that the advertisements are becoming worthless.

I guess what I'm trying to say is we're not going to wait eight more years to see MSNBC collapse. Their ratings are already in the gutter, despite the fact they get millions of 70-year-old plus viewers. And I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but this is the reality. The cognitive decline and infirm increase exponentially. It's a parabolic curve.

From 65 to 78, meaning I know there's 70 year olds out there right now watching saying I'm totally fine. I watch the news. My brain works. I'm not talking about you.

I'm talking about the 10, 20% who don't anymore. And that's the principle of viewership of cable networks. In a year, it'll be 23%. In three years, it'll be 47%. It's not going to be eight to where it's like, that's life expectancy. Now all their viewers have passed on. It's happening right now. This is the end. It'll happen to us too. You know, in 30 years, we're going to be on YouTube being like, you know, I used to get 200,000 views on these videos. Now I get 15%.

And the kids are all going to be neural linked into the hive floating around in laser chairs or whatever's going on. I'm kidding, by the way. I don't actually know what's going to happen in the future. Well, let's take a look at the news and I'll play these videos for you. Before we get started, of course, my friends, you've got to smash the like button. You got to smash it. And then you've also got to check out castbrew.com and buy coffee. Who knows where Casper will be in the future? But we got Ian's Graphene Dream, which has two left, two bags left. Holy crap. Y'all are putting Ian through college and you know he needs it.

Uh, no, legit. Like this is Ian's professional branded coffee. And it's like, as much as people always say they hate Ian, he's, he, he is, he has taken this company to a new level. I got to be completely honest. He's getting paid for it. I'm gonna be wrong, but look, look at this. So it looks like, so actually, okay. It looks like Ian's graphing dream has become our second biggest. No, I think they got to be number one. I, so if you look at, um, how it ranks, this is like top sellers. Um,

Ian's Graphene Dream being new, I think it's all-time sales. It's now our second biggest all-time. But since its launch, it's number one. And so, sorry, there's only two bags left. And it's probably already gone because people watching have bought them.

But you can also get Appalachian Nights, which is very, very good. Ian's Graphing Dream is low acidity. Stand Your Grounds, Rise of the Birdo Jr. And don't forget, jump on in and check out Focus with Mr. Bocas, our espresso roast, and Misty Mountains. Look at that beautiful Misty Mountains bag. Oof, Costa Rican blend. Wonderful. And of course, you can go to rumble.com slash timcast IRL for our premium content. And we got this Green Room episode up from the other day with Joey Manorino.

children and the importance of family. So basically what happened was I showed up late because, you know, look, I'm at home with the wife and the baby, a new baby, and couldn't be more excited about anything else. So normally we show up to the studio and start getting everything's ready for the green room. But I'm going to spend as much time with my family as I can. And I came in and Joey and Chuck were talking and

And a conversation came up of like, Tim, you're back and you have a baby. And so I told the basic story and some details were bleeped for privacy and told basically how things went down and having a kid. If you're interested in that story, it's at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL for premium members only.

With all that being said, let's take a look at what Rachel Maddow had to say. So as most of you know, Joy Reid was fired and good. I guess she's an awful person. She's a nasty, nasty person. And I got the receipts.

And I believe I have the video here of Rachel Maddow. It's four minutes. I don't think I'm going to play the full thing. Now, Nick Sorter, he'll be joining us tonight on Timcast IRL, said Rachel Maddow just went on an unhinged four minute rant against MSNBC, her own network for sacking Joy Reid. MSNBC is in its final spiral into the ground. It ain't coming back. Elon should take it over.

I'm not going to call it an unhinged rant. I watched it. She's not banging on the table, screaming, but I would call it hilarious in that she basically calls MSNBC racist, which is just so much fun. PM hour all the other nights except for Mondays. So that's a big change. An even bigger programming change is at 7 p.m.,

7 p.m. Eastern, where Joy Reid's show, The Readout, ended tonight. And Joy is not taking a different job in the network. She is leaving the network altogether. And that is very, very, very hard to take. I am 51 years old. I have been gainfully employed since I was 12.

And I have had so many different kinds of jobs, you wouldn't believe me if I told you. But in all of the jobs I have had, in all of the years I have been alive, there is no colleague for whom I have had more affection and more respect than Joy Reid. I love everything about her.

I have learned so much from her. I have so much more to learn from her. I do not want to lose her as a colleague here at MSNBC. And personally, I think it is a bad mistake to let her walk out the door. I will just pause and say, like, I really blah, blah, blah. But I wouldn't call it unhinged, guys. She's very calmly explaining why she likes Joy Reid. She's wrong, of course. It is not my call. And I understand that. But that's what I think. I will tell you, it is also...

Get woke, go broke? I don't know. Look, excuse me. I don't think they hired Joy Reid for her raw talent.

I think that you've got shows, you've got channels like MSNBC that want to pander. And there are many prominent, intelligent individuals of various ethnic backgrounds. And they end up choosing the progressive leftist black woman, Joy Reid, largely because it fits a narrative. They want someone who fits the diversity initiative, like a narrative that will also preach to that audience. I am not saying Joy Reid was a diversity hire.

Component of it, obviously, Rachel Maddow is actually laying it out for us. They have only two people of color and they fired them both. And that feels worse than bad. No matter who replaces them. That feels indefensible. And I do not defend it.

But there's just one other piece of it that you should know. From your side of the TV screen, you will mostly see changes in terms of who's in the anchor chair. And actually, everybody who's going to be in anchor chairs from here on out are great colleagues and great at what they do. And you are not going to be disappointed in who's on our air and what you're going to be seeing. I'm going to pause right there, lady.

Yes, they are. That's why your ratings are going down. Can I just repeat that one more time? Rachel Maddow says you're not going to be disappointed. Clearly, people have been increasingly disappointed with your failing network as nobody watches it anymore.

But one thing you cannot necessarily see is that the people who get our shows on the air, they're really being put through the ringer. Dozens of producers and staffers, including some who are among the most experienced and most talented and most specialist producers in the building, are facing being laid off.

They're being invited to reapply for new jobs. That has never happened at this scale in this way before when it comes to programming changes. Wow. Presumably because... I almost feel like, you know, Rachel Maddow was getting ready for primetime and she was like, guys, I just feel like we want...

Regular Americans, post liberals, suspected liberals, conservatives to have a really good night. Can I can I make a statement that just warms their hearts? So it's not just Joy Reid who's getting fired. It's all of her producers and staff because it's not the right way to treat people. And it's inefficient and it's unnecessary. Oh, please. You're failing. That works out of whether or not people feel like this is a good place to work. And so we don't generally do things that way.

Maybe all of our folks, including most of the people who are getting this very show on the air right now, maybe they will all get new jobs here. And I hope they do. But in the meantime, being put in this kind of limbo, the anxiety and the discombobulation is off the charts at a time when this job already is extra stressful and difficult. It is not news for me to tell you that the press and freedom of the press are under attack. Oh, here we go. Yeah.

It's a big deal for our country. It's very visceral for us here. I know that the business of the press is not an easy thing. Is she literally trying to insinuate the termination of Joy Reid is an attack on free speech or that that that that Joy Reid being lost is a great challenge and risk to all of us? Not to be fair. It is a little unhinged.

I wouldn't call it a rant. You know, I guess my thing is, yeah, you can see the disconnect in the function of her brain. But, you know, I just didn't want to say unhinged rant because she's not like waving her arms and screaming. She's just very stupidly saying things that are dumb. You want to talk about Joy Reid getting fired? Let's do it. The Daily Mail's got the story. Yeah, Joy Reid cried. Do I have Joy Reid crying? Did I not pull that one up?

Uh, we got Dan Don Lemon freaking out. Let me, let me make sure. Oh, okay. I'll get the joy read crying. Cause you know, we, we covered it yesterday. That's why I didn't pull it up, but considering, uh, uh, Rachel Maddow's rant and all that stuff. All right. All right. Fine.

Let me scroll down and see if I've got—oh, here's Joy Reid begging people to follow her. I actually don't care to play that. Don't follow her. She's awful. And then—oh, yeah, we also have that Dan Crenshaw thing where he threatened to kill Tucker Carlson. Talk about wild. Here's the video of Joy Reid crying, okay? My show had value. No, it didn't. And— Nobody watched it. That—I'm sorry. That what I was doing—

And value. Okay, I'm going to say it again, lady. Nobody watched it. You didn't have value. That's why they fired you. This is not, I don't understand what this is. Okay? Cernovich says, Joy Reid called Jack Posobiec and me Russian agents. He tried taking us out. Who is standing with you, demon? Okay, Joy Reid, is there a conspiracy? This is the narrative they're playing. Okay? Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid are trying to push this narrative that her show ends largely for some racist reason. Is that all you've got?

My show had value. It had value. It clearly didn't. Okay. The amount of money it takes to run your show versus what they were generating was a no, we're not going to do it. Now, here's the real story. Uh-oh. Breaking news from Daily Mail. How Joy Reid infuriated MSNBC bosses and signed death warrant for her show. Hmm.

They say that she shot herself in the foot with inflammatory social media posts that drove MSNBC bosses to cancel her show. An industry expert says, ah, okay, so it's some guy's opinion. I don't think he's wrong, though. It's not like it's insider information. Status News reported that Reid's constant progressive anti-Trump rants unsettled MSNBC bosses who are seeking to foster a less biased-sounding liberal news network during the second Trump administration. I think it's actually really simple for everybody. You see,

The popular mandate that Trump won, this is why I was saying Trump needs to win the popular vote. The popular mandate that Trump won was a signal to all the corporations and to the press, you are on the wrong side of history. And so how did they react? Exactly as predicted. They are trying now to pull back from the fringes of the far left. And that means, Jerry, you got to go.

Comcast executives Mark Lazarus is said to want to change the perception that Republicans cannot get a fair shake from the network. Well, they can't.

Trump has blasted the network as losers, calling MSNBC head Brian Roberts a low-life chairman, while branding Reid a mentally obnoxious racist. Meanwhile, the writing was reportedly on the wall for Reid as early as last year when her five-year contract with MSNBC ended and she was only offered a one-year extension. On Monday, Reid anchored The Readout, holding a summit with her fellow MSNBC anchors, as she warned that fascism isn't just coming, it's already here. Aw.

Reid made sure to equate Trumpism with fascism before gathering what she called her super friends of fellow anchors from the struggling network that is being sold off, by the way. I got to admit, I am I am torn. I am torn. Part of me knows that most people who are browsing YouTube are going to be like, who?

And that's a challenge. That's a challenge. You know, as I mentioned early on, if I made a video and I said something like, you know, if we made an AI image of Elon throwing a government symbol, you know, into a shredding machine or something, and it's like, Elon, if I did something like that, we'd probably get way more views. Maybe we can learn to adapt. I don't know.

I'm more just, this is, I just, I'm sorry. It's visceral. The media, the lies, the cheating, the stealing has been calling this out. Stopping this evil has been one of the principal motivators of me and everything I've done. So for those that are not familiar, when I first got started, you know, I had a YouTube channel and I was filming stuff on the ground because I largely was just like, hey, I like going places and filming things that are happening. I did that for Vice and for Fusion. I did that before Vice.

And Carl Benjamin, Sargon of a kind of a time, I think he had like 300,000 subscribers on YouTube. Funny, right? And I had, I don't know, like 40,000.

And then he asked me if I would like to make a video for his channel as a guest while he was on vacation. And I said, sure, I'll do something about how the media lies to you, techniques they use to manipulate you. And it did really well. It got a lot of views. And then that video put me over 100,000 subscribers. I was like, wow. All of a sudden, thanks to the boost from Carl Benjamin—

who will be here this week. This was the birth of the company, and it was me literally calling out the corporate press for the lies and the manipulations that they had been increasingly engaged in.

As someone who had worked in the media, largely because I wanted to tell people what was going on, I'm at Occupy Wall Street. I know everyone says to me, no, you're there. Yes, I was there in many other places and I saw the media lying all the time. And it was it was ludicrous. A van would pull up. A guy would walk out, look around, turn around towards the van and say, I'm standing here at Occupy Wall Street and then just make stuff up. And I'm like, yo, did you talk to a single person here and figure out what was going on? Nope. They didn't care.

And so I, as well as many other individuals there, were filming a documentary. Luke Rutkowski was there documenting what we saw was going on because he knew the machine was lying. And so from this, I get involved in the industry. I'm producing news and I'm like, you know, everything we did was at these companies that I produced was above board. It did a North Korea documentary, did Kim Dotcom, did some big, big show, Ukraine, big shows with Vice, saw what we saw, found what we found, interviewed people, and it was all put out exactly as we found it seemed legit.

And then I started to watch these industries go corrupt. So today, when I see Maddow, when I see MSNBC in free fall, I think to myself, this is what

We have hoped for for so long. This could be the end of a major arc in American history where the media machine lied. But my friends, the birth of a new machine is upon us. And there are prominent left and liberal personalities with millions of followers who have gamed the machine much better than, say, Joy Reid. And through their intelligence and their merit. Yes, I dare say it. These are the evil people who would lie, cheat or steal.

altering the narrative because they know it drives and makes them money. They know what they're saying is wrong, but they don't care. And then there are channels like this one where you have disparate political views who will tell you the truth. And we make money doing it, but we're certainly not as big as some of these massive liberal podcasts. The biggest podcasts in the world now are starting to lean liberal. They're being propped up. And these people are playing the game where they know they can lie to get the clicks.

I just want to give a shout out real quick to Joy Reid for her homophobic blog post controversy in 2018. I want you to understand who this person is. OK, she lied the whole time. Her talking points are fake. She was saying what she thought sold. So let's just the analogy I like to use is ice cream.

Progressivism and far-left ideology is asparagus-flavored ice cream. Some people might like it. Kind of weird if you ask me. Let's call it asparagus and mayonnaise ice cream, right? You're going to be like, I don't want to eat that. You'd be surprised some of the weird ice cream flavors they make. The point is, it was the only thing they were selling. Any company that would make chocolate chip cookie dough and brought to the store, the store would say, that's banned.

What do you mean we can't have chocolate chip? Now we banned that. That's that's hateful. And this is what was happening. The media apparatus on social media and the corporate press was effectively saying your ideas are not allowed to be sold to the American public through collusion and market controls. The American people wanted a nice hearty scoop of chocolate chip. And instead, every time they tried to buy it, they were blocked at the register and told they could only have the joy read asparagus.

So you ended up with a lot of personalities adapting to that censorship, big tech machine and corporate machine. You ended up with people like Joy Reid, who interestingly said that people cringe at the sight of two men kissing. That's what she had wrote. She tried claiming she didn't. She's like, how could I have said such a thing? Well, because you're a liar. And then she changed her tune to be far left BLM because that's what was allowed to be sold.

Now that we have won this battle, Trump is in big tech is panicking. Rumble is rising and we are seeing an emergence of a space in which people can post their content wherever.

Meritocracy in the market is taking things back. And people have found a place to buy that delicious chocolate chip ice cream. And so that means they stopped buying your disgusting garbage. Joy Reid is crying because she's realizing that in the marketplace of actual ideas, and I mean the literal marketplace where people pay to watch shows, ain't nobody wants to watch your garbage. It's awful. And now she's sad about it. When she posted back in, you know, what is it? What did they say? 2010 or whatever.

When he met long ago, 2010, she was posting things. She said something to the effect of like, you know, people people cringe at the sight of two men kissing is one of the things most straight people cringe that two men kissing. It's kind of weird because I don't think she's wrong. Like they're straight. I'm sure gay people don't like straight people kissing, whatever. I don't know.

But that was only 2010. So what happened? Well, her personality is for sale. Whatever she's told to say, she'll say. And so she did. And now she is trapped in a marketplace that nobody wants to pay for. Goodbye. Where do we end up? Oh, boy. Oh, we got Don Lemon. Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no. Why are we talking about Don Lemon? We are going to have to find an electronic underground railroad. Heavens me, these people are addicted.

Don Lemon and his pastor think Joy Reid's cancellation will lead to more job losses for black journalists. Let's roll. It's going to be a lot more of those kinds of voices and a lot more people of color who you won't see anymore where they once were. Now, let me first pause and thank you for glowing in the dark. Glowing in the dark. Consistent voice and presence and mind for. OK, I'm not going to that. You get the point, Don.

Well, here we go. Before we get back to Don Lemon, Megyn Kelly chimes in. Reveling in the schadenfreude that is Joy Reid, who mocked white tears of liberal women. I'm sorry, white tears of women in general. Megyn Kelly says, who's crying now? And oh, boy, Megyn Kelly had little sympathy for Joy Reid. She said, remember when Joy Reid laugh, laughingly mocked white women tears as pathetic and offensive to her? Who's crying now, Joy?

Kelly, host of The Megyn Kelly Show on Sirius XM, wrote on her X account over the weekend, good riddance to the absolute worst person on television and shame on NBC for letting it go this long. Now, I want to tell you, certainly Megyn Kelly is a prominent person out of the very large show. She has millions of subscribers on YouTube. She gets hundreds of thousands of views. She's got a big podcast, one of the top podcasts. They're singling out Megyn Kelly

for the narrative machine. This is the game they're playing. Megan isn't the only one who expresses opinion. This is the general opinion most people have of Joy Reid. So I'm not saying this to disrespect Megan Kelly in any way. I'm saying she noticed what everyone else noticed. Joy Reid is a nasty person who insults into rides. And then when it comes her way, now she's the victim. Uh-oh. Oh, boy.

Don Lemon tells Megyn Kelly, go F yourself after Joy Reid rant. During a 20 minute tirade on his YouTube show, Lemon savaged the former Fox News anchor. Ah, here we are. I guess that's just it. That's the story. I have a video. I'm not going to play it because he's vulgar, but I will explain why I'm showing it and where we are.

Don Lemon seems to be having a rough day, LOL, from Timcast News. Guys, if you're on X, make sure you're following at Timcast News because we often, I'll tell you this, I'll tell you this. When these big accounts with millions of followers post video clips, I got to tell you, we often find them first. I follow some of these big accounts as well.

But we've got a crack team of investigators and journalists who are scouring the Internet, watching all of these shows. And our team, we watch liberal shows. We go to left subreddits and you really should. Steve Bannon mentions it all the time. He only watches MSNBC. He wants to know what they're talking about. So follow at Timcast News. Get the news first at Timcast News on actually that beautiful gold checkmark.

Shout out. We've been getting a lot of followers lately. Shout out to Sean Frasick, who's been running that and sourcing all these things. But back to the news. Don Lemon issues his vulgarities as he urges you to become a member on YouTube. All right. All right. Here's Megyn Kelly on YouTube. Megyn Kelly has 3.4 million subscribers. Wow. She's been let's let's let's his oldest video for Megyn Kelly is five years ago.

And this was back when I think she was still working on networks and things like this. I don't think this was when she was solely on YouTube, but she had the YouTube channel starting up. I am deeply impressed. Megyn Kelly is a powerhouse, of course. She is intelligent and she has the merit and capabilities, as is proven by her channel.

In five years, since 2020, she's grown to 3.4 million subs, and she routinely gets hundreds of thousands of views on each of her video segments. Well done. She's got a great team behind her, and she is a masterful talent. I am sincerely impressed. Megyn Kelly left network TV. She tried going to NBC. She asked an honest question about why is blackface offensive? Like, seriously, some people don't know. And they fired her over it. These people are stupid. Well,

This is the game. NBC had an opportunity to have Megyn Kelly. She's she's she's one of the biggest personalities. They threw it away. But hey, MSNBC, how's it going with Joy Reid? Well, here's the main point. When Megyn Kelly leaves and says this is the route we are taking independent, individually hosted shows and podcasts. She got a show on XM weekdays, noon to two. She skyrockets to millions of subscribers, hundreds of thousands of views masterfully done.

As soon as she leaves the networks, she proves why they hired her in the first place. Quick wit and insight leading her to a successful channel. And I mean that sincerely. You can't you can't doubt it. You can't. And there are liberal podcasters. I would also call having the merit and intelligence. I just think they're smarmy liars. Certainly you're entitled to your opinions. I will defend some of the videos they make and say they're entitled to their opinions on things, but they often just lie. All right, Donnie boy, Don Lemon, how you doing?

Don Lemon's got half a million subscribers. Now, to be fair, he's been on for about a year, so that's not bad. But when he comes out and he insults Megyn Kelly, I tell you there's only one reason he's doing it. He's doing it because he got 54,000 views in 18 hours on the video by saying, go F yourself. His last video, Lemon Drop, got 14,000. That is Right Gone Woke, 30,000. 14, 15, 12, 46. 120 on this one, Federal Worker speaks out. Let me just say,

I don't know where Don Lemon goes, but he's building it up. He's figuring it out. And I issued this warning. The machine is not going to stop here. The corporate narrative machine isn't just going to go, oh, geez, the cable news networks are no longer making money. I quit. Nope. Democrat, deep state, corrupt individuals are going to say, where can we direct funding so that we can grow our side of this narrative? And they're going to dump money into these channels.

I don't know about Don Lemon, to be honest. There are much bigger YouTubers with big shows that are taking off and gaining massive amounts of followings. And they're willing to lie, cheat and steal to get it. They absolutely are. Let me just say it like this. The Covington kids, you all know the story. One of the one of the one of the most obvious stories. When the Covington kids story came out, let me tell you, I had a YouTube manager. YouTube has has they basically have agents and managers that work with different personalities. And a funny thing happened.

David Pakman and I had the same manager, the same one. And the Covington story happened. This is where the kids were on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The Native American man got in his face and banged the drum in his face. And I made a video debunking it. At the time, I was getting, I would get maybe like 100 to 200,000 views per video. And I would do like, I think I was only doing a handful of videos per day. I might have been doing five per day at that point.

This video exploded and got 500,000 overnight as people started to realize the truth. I was sent information. The first thing is when I saw the video, I was like, I don't know what this is. And people like Tim, you should talk about this and call this kid out. And I was like, what's happening? It's like a kid and a guy standing there. I don't even know who's doing what. They wanted everyone to just assume that this Nick Salmon kid did something wrong. This is like seven years ago now. Isn't that crazy?

And I didn't. I was like, I don't know what happened or who did what or why I'm supposed to be mad about this. So I began digging into it. Many other people were also digging into it. I was sent a two hour long live stream of the whole event, watched it and then said, hey, look at that. The Native American man got in the kid's face. The kid was innocent. So I made a video about it. Video took off. Got a ton of views. Shortly after this, I was informed that my YouTube manager would be changing and I got a different YouTube manager.

And I asked some of the liberals, people that I knew who had the same manager as me before. And I said, did you get a new manager? No. It would appear to me that YouTube has different managers based on your political ideology or perceived ideology. Despite the fact that I was largely a liberal at that time, very much still supported the Democratic Party. I support the Democrats in 2020. Crazy, right? Tulsi Gabbard and Andrew Yang. Well, Tulsi is here with Trump now, so I'm excited. Seems like I won.

But that's the game that they were playing. They have different metrics and methods for propping up different individuals and working with them, different standards, and that's the game. They did not like the narratives that I was pushing out, despite the fact that they were true. So where are we? Now, look, let's take a look at some of Don Lemon's videos. Fired government worker speaks out. So what? Bring Al Franken. It's not so bad. Worst press secretary ever. That's an opinion. I think it's wrong.

Karine Jean-Pierre was really bad. Jen Psaki was good. And I maintained that the whole time. Jen Psaki was good at her job. She's nasty. You know, she she like I don't consider any. It's surprising, man. It's weird to say, but Spicer, McEnany, Levitt, they're actually doing a good job of explaining the positions of the government. Psaki did a great job of handling the press, as was her job. And I think anybody's a fool for denying that.

GOP terrified of Elon, the Project 2025. Lemon is not playing as dirty a game as most. This video from him is one of the dirtier moves he's made. And it's a shame. As much as I don't like Don Lemon, and I think he's very ignorant and doesn't know what he's talking about, he wasn't doing the same game as other people were. I should take that back. Not as heavy, but we're going to see it. Now take a look at Megyn Kelly's show. Here's Trump's strategy to bring Russia and Ukraine to the table.

Man, she got 100K views on that. It's 96K, but we're running up. And it's extremely straightforward. Here's one. How the left is staying on the unpopular side of the trans issue. Very straightforward. Joy Reid finally fired. Bongino joins Trump administration. Super straightforward. Hour and 40 minute show. 300,000 views. I mean, I respect this. You don't have to like Megyn Kelly's opinions, but I respect that her video titles are just normal. Even more normal than mine. I spice mine up a little bit.

You know, Germany's leader had some tough words for Trump. I'm impressed. You know, people really do respect Megyn Kelly. Don Lemon, don't play that game. Don't play that game. Let's do this, though. I definitely want to talk about the oh, CNN is announcing layoffs. Right. It's not just MSNBC. Let's not forget our good friends over at CNN. But let's do this. Let's do this. Thursday, February 13th, evening cable news ratings. MSNBC's Rachel Maddow had two million total viewers. Wow.

Madhouse show was also on top in the adults 25 to 54 demo. Well, I'm not I'm not surprised. You know what people what you can expect is when you're in the opposition, people start getting worried and then start seeking to opposition media. This is how you get the ebb and flow of the political cycle. Let's take a look what's going on. This is from just last week. MSNBC is the Rachel Maddow show crossed two million total viewers. Interesting. But what does that mean? So here's the key demo.

Let's go to 7 p.m. Laura Ingram in the key demo with 437,000 viewers. Wow. Look at this one. The five, 547,000 key demo viewers. I'm proud to say, rather surprisingly, Timcast IRL beats all of these shows. That's cool. You know, don't get me wrong. Like people don't watch cable news anymore. And I am the clips from Fox News. They put on YouTube and stuff do really well.

Here's CNN's key demo. Let's go to 8 p.m. Anderson Cooper, 137. Hayes, 119. Hey, Joy Reid, you got 120,000 in the key demo. And they fired her. That's surprising because Melba was doing worse. Rachel Maddow got 212 in the key demo. Guys, I got to be honest. I can take my phone right now.

I can point it at my face and I can say I can do the chicken dance. I get way more views than that. And to be honest, there are tons of people get way more views. OK, let's talk about news, though. Yeah, I've got a bunch of videos, just single sentence commentary on news. Single sentence gets more views than Rachel Maddow gets in the key demo. But hold on.

Total viewership is massive. The five gets nearly 5 million viewers. That's crazy. Joy Reid got 1 million viewers at 7 p.m. Here's the thing. It's overwhelmingly over 70 years old. And I'm not trying to brag on old people, but the world is a changing the ebb and flow, the cycle of life, the emergent phenomenon of cultural development. It is before us. And these these personalities, they're done. Now, me, I'm going to be 39 in a week.

just a week and a half or so. I'll be 39 years old. It's kind of wild because I started doing media at 25. I remember when I was younger and I hear people say things, I've been working in this industry for 20 years and I'm like, that's crazy. I couldn't have worked anywhere for 20 years. I'm five years old. But now that I'm close to 40 and I'm like,

Yeah, I've been working in media for a very long time. Very, very long time. And probably will continue to. Look at Gutfeld, 3.38 million. Fox slaying. Well, I jumped over to my good friend, Chet GPT, and I asked it some questions. What is the average age of an MSNBC viewer?

As of recent reports, the median age of MSNBC viewers is approximately 70 years old. This indicates that half of MSNBC's audience is older than 70 and half is younger. The trend of an older viewership is consistent across major cable news networks. For instance, Fox News has a median viewer age of 69 and CNN's is 68. So this, what I'm about to say, will apply to all of them. The aging audience reflects broader shifts. Actually, can I, can I, this from 109 days ago. That's important to know because that means the average age has gone up since then.

The aging audience reflects broader shifts in media consumption habits with younger demographics increasingly turning to digital platforms. So I said, what is the average life expectancy of a human? Worldwide, 73. However, they're going to mention that in the U.S., life expectancy as of 2023 is 78.4 years old, which is lower than the average of 82.5 in comparable countries. It's important to note that while people are living longer, the number of years spent in good health has not increased. This is important.

On average, individuals worldwide experience about 9.6 years of illness during their lifetimes, with Americans experiencing over 12 years of disease burden. Can I just point out, RFK Jr. is right. These disparities highlight the need to focus not only on extending lifespan, but improving healthspan, the period of lifespan and good health. With that being said, interesting. So we're not just looking at an aging demographic that at 70 years old is watching the news just fine. No.

People don't just live healthy lives where everything's normal and at 78 just drop dead. Typically, people are in a decline until that point, which means there's likely a different number to indicate the age, the average age at which MSNBC and CNN cease to exist. A lot of factors here. So I said, if a person on average lives to 78, at what age do they start to experience debilitating health effects that hinder their ability to live normally?

And Chad GPT says on average, around 65 to 70 years old is when this begins. Studies show that while life expectancy is around 78, healthy life expectancies is closer to 66 to 70 years old in many developed countries. This means most people spend 8 to 12 years dealing with chronic disease or mobility limitations that hinder normal living.

That is not to say, my friends, that at 70 years old, every single person, as I mentioned earlier, is incapable of functioning properly. It means that the rate at which mental decline and the ability to be an MSNBC viewer, the rate of decline is higher. There's going to be a cascade failure and there's going to be a point of no return. So how does this work? There is a point at which the infrastructure of MSNBC is too expensive to maintain.

Comcast has already said they're selling off this company, and they fired two hosts. They probably paid Joy Reid too much. They're going to bring on someone, and they're going to say, we're going to pay you nothing. They're going to pay him dirt. A couple hundred thousand dollars a year ain't not bad. It ain't nothing. But for a job that once paid millions, Rachel Maddow getting $25 million, and she knows she's next. As more and more people drop off, and the viewers that they do have are no longer in the purchasing demographic.

You'll notice if you watch MSNBC, the ads are all for like reverse mortgages and A1C medications. And there's this one where it's EKG on the run. I got to be honest, 30-year-olds ain't buying mobile EKGs. In fact, to be honest, my watch basically does it already. Don't need to buy that product. When these people no longer need to or are able to buy products, and that's their average viewer. Again, I'm not trying to be mean. Advertisers stop buying.

That means they're not going to be able to pay any of their talent. They're not going to be able to pay producers or the studio space. And eventually the cost of maintaining the show exceeds the amount of money they could possibly make from it. This is happening right now. We have waited for this moment. And that means it's not going to be eight years from now when their average viewer is dying. It's right now. They're going to start selling off parts of their studios, selling off parts of their network. It cannot maintain itself any longer.

It's like blockbuster video. Now, these channels had an opportunity to adapt. Some of them did, and many of them didn't. Hence, Megyn Kelly is no longer at Fox or NBC or wherever else. She's running her own thing. She doesn't need to work for a company anymore. Certainly, there are networking opportunities. What was once a giant broadcast tower where they would appoint people like Don Lemon at the top, we're now dealing with a decentralized media landscape. Networking is going to be important. Hence, we work with Rumble. When you guys watch Rumble Premium,

On Rumble, you don't just get the Green Room Uncensored show or feature-length documentaries. You actually get access to Mug Club, Stephen Crowder's work, as well as Dr. Disrespect and all of the other big talent, Russell Brand, that are on Rumble. So it's everybody. It's a great system. And this network effect allows us to build up bigger audiences, bigger spheres of influence, and grow beyond what we could do on our own. And we still all own our companies. It's fantastic.

So let me tell you this. Since we joined with Rumble, our viewership is up some 70, 80%. It's massive. And this is tremendous for us because it means when we go to our sales team and they're trying to get ad reads, it's been incredible. It's been absolutely incredible. Literally the day after we team up with Rumble, Rumble is selling at a higher rate. Our viewership jumps. In the first week, we're like, bang, look at this. Bigger audience network effect. And so what we're looking at right now is

The broadcast towers have crumbled. We were left with a decentralized space of all these individuals. Joe Rogan, just some dude doing a podcast on his own by himself with like one other guy. I think he's got a couple of people on his team. But now things are going to start centralizing to a certain degree again, because people that work together will maintain a larger sphere of influence than those who are individuals.

So what ends up happening is we have a hybrid of the two systems. If you're on CNN and CNN as a channel was generating millions of views because people turned on CNN, nothing else turned on. Getting that coveted anchor position was the dream come true. They'd say, we're going to put you on TV. You're famous. Whether anyone knows you or not, whether you have the talent or not. And they did. But now it doesn't work that way. Now you have to be an individual of merit and capability to build the channel yourself. That's where we went.

Channels like mine, obviously Crowder and many others. Some did team up with networks, don't get me wrong. Crowder was with The Blaze. You've got Daily Wire, for instance. But early on, many of the biggest shows were just single individuals. Like I mentioned, Megyn Kelly, launching her own thing. Some of them work with sales networks, but for the most part, largely individuals running their own companies.

And now networks are starting to emerge once again, Rumble being one of the biggest players in the space with Rumble Premium, where I think this may be the only major player where you sign up to my, Tim Pool, premium behind-the-scenes content, it grants you access to everybody's content. It's been fantastic for us. We tripled our premium membership viewership overnight.

And so those moves are going to create a hybrid, a much better system. Ain't nobody going to tell Steven Crowder what to say. Ain't nobody to tell me what to say. But we're now going to be networked so I can promote his content, he can promote mine. And it's not just Crowder, it's everybody else on Rumble.

The network effect is going to create a pocket of influence. You've got the YouTube creators and YouTube props them up and they're massive. And we're on YouTube, of course. But then you're going to have Rumble's sphere of influence. More people are going to watch Rumble for whatever reason they do. And when they turn Rumble on, just like they turned on CNN, they're going to see a network of content creators. And when they buy the premium because they like what they're getting, they will instantly get access to a ton of other shows to discover.

This is going to create a massive opportunity for channels like mine and all the new ones that are popping up and joining Rumble Premium because that network effect. So imagine this. Imagine you launched a podcast and you were on Rumble and you made premium content and people are like, why am I going to buy your premium content? Dude, I don't care. And then you were like, because you get Tim Pool's content too. Imagine being able to use my members only content to promote your channel. And that's kind of like kind of obvious, right?

That network effect is going to be massive. It is a new era. I'm interested to see where it goes because these channels will have a tremendous opportunity in creating something similar to what we saw with the cable channels before us. That is to say, if Rumble grows big enough and they have a natural audience that uses Rumble, that competes against YouTube, and it does, though YouTube is obviously the big player,

What happens when there's people who say, I don't like the shows on YouTube because it always recommends garbage, so I just go to Rumble because I like those shows? That's no different than any other channel. These websites, I think in the future, will move towards a more decentralized structure. So let me give you some inside baseball as I love talking about media. Spotify recently launched their video format. They really want video podcasts.

YouTube had video podcasting from the beginning. And do you know what they did? They started banning the big video podcasters. Weird, right? Why would they do that? Because they were scared. Political conversations were scary. So they banned a lot of these people. Started driving video podcast content. If you watched a video podcast, which like literally could be anybody, Joe Rogan, me or otherwise,

you were more likely to get recommended Fox, CNN, or MSNBC. They did not want a conversation in this space. They wanted it TV-style format. So they burned themselves down. Now they're bragging about the access they have. With a podcast section, leadership changed, I get it. Rumble emerges specifically to bring these video podcasters on. First in, best dressed. So I'll tell you this.

Spotify, massive player in the game with podcasting. They bought the Joe Rogan license. They wanted to build up their presence. Viewership is still substantially smaller. This is crazy. So we've been on Rumble for some time, and now we're formally on Rumble with the show's live, this show live, of course. And the full podcast viewership is some four or five times higher than Spotify's.

And I'm not going to talk about the biggest podcast on Spotify or anything like that. But if I've been on Spotify with my morning show on IRL for years, and we generate only a certain amount of traffic, it's like, okay. You know, we've talked to them about how do we utilize this platform? And they were very nice to us. And with all due respect to Spotify, they were telling us like, here's how you can improve things. We're really excited you're here. They were asking us, would you please launch? We love your show. It's a great show. It's a big show. You get great numbers. We said, sure, I guess.

Then we joined Rumble. Our YouTube viewership, largely the same. There's been a little shift. Some people prefer Rumble, so they watch there instead. Largely the same. We do 45,000 concurrence. Down a little bit, maybe. But we're doing 18,000 on Rumble now. On Rumble, we do 200,000 to 300,000 views on TimCast IRL. On YouTube, we do 350,000 on average. Some episodes are five, some are more.

On the podcast platforms in general, we do about 100. Then the clips are separate. I want you all to understand this as the media's landscape's changing. I'm biased, right? I have a deal with Rumble. I have equity in the company and all that. Understand all of that. I'm just saying the reason I did the deal, we launched this and Rumble is already beating Spotify in podcast numbers. So if I were to give someone advice and they were asking me like, I'm going to launch a podcast, where should I put it? And I'm like, Rumble. I mean, I got to be honest, like

You go to Spotify, the algorithmic drive, the mechanism for promotion and discovery isn't there. It's really difficult. It's editorial. It's small. It's hard to navigate. The website doesn't function as well for it. Don't get me wrong. Music, they're the best. I love Spotify. And I don't mean no disrespect on this, but Rumble was built for the video podcast. And now we're talking about the podcast presidency, quite literally, Dan Bongino joining the Trump administration. Rumble owns video podcasting. Now, obviously, Rumble

The biggest player is YouTube. Apple is non-existent. Spotify is trying to play a decade, a 10-year catch-up, way behind. And Rumble's been building this out intentionally for this purpose. Now, Rumble, with YouTube, with the massive resources, is barreling through, making massive developments and moving into space. Rumble is still the only real dedicated platform for this. And so I will just stress it again. We launch on Spotify.

We're getting, you know, we might get like 40, 50K views. We launch day one on Rumble, 350,000. And that's a new show for the first time. And I'm just like, kind of crazy, huh? Now, you may be saying to yourself, yeah, but Tim, you know, there's an audience on Rumble that watches, right? You know, you've got Dan Bongino Crowder. Many people are familiar with your content. Let me just pause you right there. You're not wrong, but Spotify, everybody's on.

Everybody's on Spotify. So how does it make sense? I'm just saying, man, this network effect is going to be massive for all of us. It's gonna be massive. The morning show is now with, so the way they track the biggest live shows, they don't combine viewership of multiple platforms. They only do single platform. If I were to take the concurrent viewership of this morning live stream right now, the one hour show,

On YouTube and Rumble, it's like the 15th biggest live stream in the world. Individually, it's like number 27 and 35 or something. And then TimCast IRL is usually in the top 10.

Now with Rumble, Timcast, well, for a while, to be fair, last year, the show is usually in the top three. But more and more people are getting into space. We've never been the biggest and most famous personalities. So as this landscape is starting to diversify and spread out and prominent personalities like Megyn Kelly and Candace Owens are entering the live space, they're certainly doing way better than we are in terms of live viewership. They're way more famous.

But my point is that network effect combination allowed us a massive boost and we got more plans coming, baby. We are going to see the end of the corporate narrative machine. The network effect is going to be bigger shows with more influence, more familiarity and ubiquity, but no top down editor telling us what we can or cannot say. And that's going to be amazing.

Huron X Bearcat says, what day was your daughter born? I'm February 20th, and I want to know if we share a birthday. Congrats to you and your wife. That was indeed the day. I don't know. I don't know. You know, I should give out too many details. I'll keep some of it private. But that was the day I tweeted that I was on IRL. I said my daughter's being born. So I figure everyone knows that.

Major pain in your game and says today I'm celebrating 19 years of my beautiful wife, Jodi. Side note, you and I will both be 39 in March. Right on, brother. We are entering old manhood. Old manhood. Let's go. Adrian Contreras says, I love it. Joy is one of the most vile people on television. Sunny from The View is the only one worse on the list. She is. She's awful. It's crazy. Peckhamon says, off topic, but can you shout out my brother's band? They just dropped their first single.

They are all shirts, no pants, and the song is called El Shaba. Well, right on. Ice Castle says Doge needs to hire a side investigative team to see how much of the USAID money went to purchasing of homes in the United States laundered to invaders. Interesting. Let's see what we got in the old Rumble Rant department. Coldtown992 says I agree with Rachel Maddow. MSNBC should fire two of their white hosts also to balance things out.

Conservative B says Rachel Maddow is next on the chopping block. Indeed, my friends. OK, let's grab we'll grab another rumble rant. I saw what just now. Pippa Bain says big fan of your content. However, doesn't Dan giving up the fame he's financially set say more about you than him? Why don't you start public service? Trump rich chose to serve. Same with Dan and Pete. And I literally said yesterday, I am not half the man Dan Bongino is. I don't know that I could do that.

I don't know that I could dedicate my time and energy towards a passion. Well, look, I'll put it this way. My passion's never been government. Dan is. Dan worked in law enforcement. Dan was in the Secret Service. Dan, his passion is very seriously in being, you know, he was in government. And now he's seeing the problems and he wants to call them out. My passion's always been media. So I don't want to sell myself too short.

But then, you know, I have spent so much time and energy working on this and building this up, and I have a mission and a plan. I don't know that I have it in me the same way Dan does. And so when you say, doesn't it say more about me than him? That's literally my point yesterday. I said I wasn't half the man he was. I said there's so many people that wouldn't be willing to give up everything they've built to go work a civil service job. That's why Dan is so commendable. He is a better man than we. I mean, that's crazy. Look.

The challenge for me, obviously, is with the company. I've got employees. If I decide to leave, they're all out of work. I don't know how many employees Dan has or the team involved, but understand this too. Dan's not just making the sacrifice personally. There's people around him. You know, he does sales. He does sponsor spots. There are people who do that job for him that are going to lose money on this now. Dan is making a tremendous, tremendous sacrifice. I deeply respect it. Let's see if we got. We'll grab one more. Let's see.

TP Project says the level of vitriol from the side that mainstreamed the team only proves how crazy the left's level of projection is. Indeed, my friends. Indeed, indeed.

Elon Musk has issued his final warning to federal government workers who don't respond to a second. What did you accomplish? Email. And the story just doesn't seem to go away. Now they're saying Trump has even broken from Elon saying, you know what? You don't got to answer these emails. And I think it's fairly obvious what's happening. While the liberals and left are making the argument that, aha, Elon has lost.

We got him, you guys. His whole ruse was exposed and everyone's going up against him.

That's the narrative they want, but it doesn't really make any sense. So for those that don't know the story, I mean, this has been the big story the past couple of weeks or past week or so. Elon Musk sees this statement from Donald Trump where he says, I like Elon, but he's got to get more aggressive. So Elon goes, you got it, boss. And then says, I'm going to require all federal workers to send an email of five bullet points saying, what did you do this week? And then all hell broke loose. Damn.

Democrats apparently tend to work in environments where they don't have to work nor explain what it is they do for a living. And so what ends up happening is Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel. So you don't got to respond to this. And then you end up with Donald Trump actually coming out now and saying it is voluntary. The left response is aha. But as I said, it doesn't quite make sense that.

There's a fear among the national security offices or the FBI or even from Trump that people could or could not answer these emails. It doesn't mean anything. I think actually it's quite simple.

Elon, as he already explained, is trying to figure out which emails are dead. It's actually quite simple. And Thomas Massey has chimed in saying, we've actually done this before in government to figure out where we were wasting money. You know,

I think it's fair to say these Democrats, liberal types, don't understand how businesses operate. It's actually quite simple. My friends, it's expensive to have email accounts set up. It is. Okay. I mean, obviously, like one email account isn't that much money, like 10 to 20 bucks, depending on your server and what you're trying to get done. But let's say you've got millions, millions of federal workers, and you've got a bunch of emails that are active in the server being paid for online.

And they're not they're not working there anymore. Not only that, imagine there's somebody who left their government position but has maintained a dot gov email address that they use for untoward things. So, I mean, I feel like I just broke the whole thing down for you. We can all go home. But sure, sure. We've got an update from last night. Elon Musk issuing his final warning. Let's check it out. Of course, my friends, don't forget. Join Rumble Premium.

Don't forget to go to CastBrew.com and buy coffee because it's really good. Let's start here, ladies and gentlemen. Elon Musk issues final warning to federal government workers who don't respond to a second What Did You Accomplish email.

The New York Post says Doge chief Elon Musk teased Monday that federal workers may receive a second email asking them to list their weekly accomplishments and the failure to do so would result in termination. The Tesla and SpaceX founders warning came hours after the OPM Office of Personnel Management notified human resource bosses across multiple agencies that responses to emails on Saturday demanding a list of five bullet points detailing what federal workers achieved in the previous five working days were voluntary.

and that failure to respond would not be taken as a resignation, as Musk has claimed. Yeah, because Musk fired that off kind of off the cuff, right?

I don't believe the emails actually ever said that. I think that was Elon's statement. The email request was utterly trivial, as the standard for passing the test was to type some words and press send, Musk wrote on X. Yet so many failed even that inane test, urged on in some cases by their managers. Subject to the discretion of the president, they will be given another chance, he wrote in a separate post. Failure to respond to a second time will result in termination. I still don't believe it, guys. What we are witnessing right now

is a game of chess. It's not 3D chess. It's not 4 or 5D chess. I guess technically time does play a role in chess. It's just simple. They are testing to see which emails don't respond. They will then follow up to see if they're active. They are testing to see if they are, do these people play ball?

Now, you can you can frame that positively or negatively. But if you're an employee of a company or of the government and Elon worked for the president says, I want the email. And you're like, man, I love my job. I love my job. Elon, here's what I'm working on right now. Bang. Then Trump comes out. OPM comes out. Cash, Tulsi. No, no, no. You guys don't have to respond to this. And they go, OK, I won't. Regardless of whether or not they get terminated, it will red flag all of the people who don't respond.

I mean, it's a pretty good idea. To be honest, we here at Tim Cash should probably do something similar. What are you guys currently working on? I have to say, in my work experience and all of these years in media, I have personally come across instances where the question results in a resignation. I'm not kidding. Not in like, if you don't answer, you're resigning. No, no, no. I worked for a company and we had some employees resign.

I was, you know, I wasn't a manager of this company and I'm not going to, I'm going to keep the details thin because I don't want to expose anyone's private stories. But, you know, I was a manager, but I did have some staff that were hired. And I remember saying, I don't know what so-and-so is working on. And then we're like, let's go ask them. And then we asked them, like, what have you been working on this past month? And they took their badge off and said, I'm out. And we were like, what? And they're like, yeah, I wasn't doing anything.

There are so many people that are just waiting to get fired. They call it quiet quitting. It's been an ongoing trend and you all know about it. In fact, I didn't pull it up, but let's pull it up. Let's let's let's talk about quiet quitting. This is what I think they are. They are going after largely. I love these articles. Oh, man. Here, look at this one.

This is from Fast Company. Gen Z isn't quiet quitting. They're rejecting outdated leadership. Why companies that fail to evolve will lose an entire generation of talent. Okay, well, the government certainly never evolves. So let's entertain that point, Fast Company.

If your company is losing Gen Z talent, chances are the problem isn't them, it's you. The phrase quiet quitting has become a catch-all for blaming Gen Z workers for workplace disengagement. Older generations stereotype them as unmotivated, unwilling to go the extra mile, and too demanding. But here's the reality. Gen Z isn't disengaged. They're just done tolerating bad leadership. Okay. Well, you serve at the pleasure of your bosses.

If you work for the government, it's the president. If we're on the federal branch, if you work for a private company, it's the owners and the managers of those companies. By all means, you can be mad at the boss. But, you know, this is important. I worked for a company. Here we go. Got another one. And I remember when I quit and people were shocked that I quit this company. It was a big, prominent company. And I walked away and everybody was like, how could you walk away? This is this is a company everybody wishes they could work for.

And I said, I don't work for them. They work for me. Your view of how you do your job is very different from my view of my goals in my career. And to put it simply, I went to a company and I said, here are the things I need from you. And they said, OK, what do we get? It's an exchange. You get these things from me. And they said, sounds great. I said, so long as I'm getting those things I need, we have a working relationship.

A few months later, I called a meeting with the higher ups of the company. And I said, these two things I have gained, you have done. But this one's not happening. Now, I told you I needed three things. You're not getting me this one. And they said, well, we're going to give you a pay raise to accommodate for that. Our apologies. Don't worry. We'll get it going. Several months later, I said, this still has not been met. And they said, OK, right. We're working on these things. Bear with us. We're going to get them for you. And I said, OK.

Understand this. If your mentality in the company is that you work for them and they have no responsibilities to you, I think you have the wrong view of things. And now hold on. Hold on. Because we're taking a look at how the government operates and people who don't want to answer emails.

Yes, there is a mutual exchange in this relationship. And so finally, in the last meeting, I said, guys, I really do appreciate it. As the agreement we had was not fulfilled, I'm going to be moving on. And they were shocked, flabbergasted. But you work for us. I was like, no. And I told people, like, you're quitting. And I'm like, they work for me. I have things I need done. OK, they're going to get money from me and I'm going to get things from them. Oh, man, it screwed them over big. Yeah, because apparently I was tied to some other arrangements they'd already made. But I don't care.

So take a look at this. I can certainly, to a degree, respect that people should be working for you. But the point is this. If you are an employee at a company and your company has bad leadership, you fire the company. OK, frame it however you want. I don't care. I'm working at a company. Leadership is bad. I don't go. I'm going to sit here and collect money. Why? I'm wasting my time. I got a career. I've got goals. I got things I got to accomplish. So I say to the company, thank you. No, thank you. I'm out. I fired them. They work for me.

Right. We work we work for each other. That's really how it works. You always have a boss. So now we're taking a look at what's going on back to Elon Musk. And I think the issue is largely you're not going to get a perfect one size fits all technique or whatever. The email ruse is is is hilarious to figure out which emails are dead and which aren't. But it also sources sorts out who's a red flag. Imagine this. I mean, it's actually a brilliant strategy. I think it is. I think it is largely intentional.

It's not complicated. Look, these look at these guys. Let me put this right. This is from Fed News on Reddit. Elon Musk admits email to government workers was a ruse. This is basically a check to see if an employee at a pulse was capable of replying to an email. Indeed. Holy hell is a joke. What timeline are we living in? We're demanding two point five million feds prove their usefulness is just a test. This is further proof. Smelly man sent it while typing tripping on ketamine. These people are as dumb as a box of rocks.

Someone said he's top comment. He's trying to backtrack because certain agencies publicly went against this and humiliated his dork ass. Sure. I mean, maybe I'm not going to say no. I know for sure. But I think unlikely. It's silly to think. And then you have enough Musk spam. Anyone can disrupt the Elon Musk's email directly. This is not a drill. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the world they live in. I can't believe it. Elon made a mistake. Whoa.

These people have claimed that Donald Trump is an idiot, that Elon Musk is a moron. And I'm like, what are you talking about? Elon Musk builds rocket ships. He's smarter than you. Donald Trump's a billionaire. Yeah, from his dad's loan. It was a million dollars he converted into billions. And he's got his name in big gold letters. You think, look, you don't got to claim they're rocket scientists, but they work harder and they're smarter than you. So what are you talking about?

So what do I see with this email stuff? You got quiet quitters, big trends about people who just stop working and wait to get fired. But then you've got the government issue where these people are in federal unions and likely can't be easily fired. So how do you deal with it?

First, you got to figure out who's actually working and who's not. You don't need to actually fire the people because it's probably legal issues. And that was the issue. Anyone doesn't respond, resigns. I'm sure there was a play where it's like, oh boy, if you don't respond, we can just claim you don't work here anymore. And that is, in my opinion, legitimate. I mean, think of it this way. If your boss says, send us an email of what you're currently working on and you do not do it. Okay. Insubordination. Now, to be fair,

Probably unreasonable. Probably unreasonable. The judge is going to be like, you know, in National Labor Board, whatever they're going to say. Oh, come on. It was one email. So what is Elon doing now? Two emails. Come on, guys. One more time. And this is going to do several things for the Trump administration and in government. The people who refuse to respond, they're basically saying, I'm not I'm not a team player. I'm not going to work with your administration. We don't like you. OK, red flag. This this person is subversive and scrutinize them.

Then you're going to get people who say, my boss said I didn't have to answer, so I'm just going to ignore it. And then red flag as well. You take a look at these two employees and what do you find? One is subversive, damaging the structure and function of government and stealing taxpayer money by doing nothing. And the other person just doesn't really care and is disengaged. Now, if you're not really, if you don't really care and you're disengaged, you're not a high level team player. Well, okay, you didn't do anything wrong. You're just not good. And then you've got the people who were told, check this out.

Trump says it's voluntary. You don't have to respond. Tons of people then respond to Elon saying things like, I know we don't have to respond, but I really am working hard on these projects every day. I come and I do this, that or otherwise. And that's going to be able to give it's a sorting algorithm, as it were a sorting algorithm. The email request was utterly trivial. And Elon Musk has a meme of Achilles. And it's like the the

the greatest bureaucracy in human civilization. And then the arrow in his heel is, in the Achilles heel is, what did you do this week? Subject to the discretion of the president. So we talked about the quiet quitting thing. We have this. The Trump administration breaking with Musk's directive says replying to his email is voluntary. The response to Elon Musk's what did you do last week email to federal employees suggest there may be limits to how far he can push the government's workforce. I mean,

Are there no people willing to break down and analyze what moves? OK, I'm just going to say this. These people are as dumb as a box of rocks. It's been the case for too long. Elon and Trump are smart guys. They are driven, passionate. And Elon wants for nothing. The things that Elon wants don't exist. And he has to invent them. OK, I mean, that's technically true for most people. We'd all love to get a jetpack and fly around. But Elon actually has the means to make them.

Did it not occur to any of these people in government and in media that there were moves they would make pending the reaction to this email? This is what first ordered thinkers. Well, to be fair, ordered thinking is.

It's really great for what it's called, but there's a structure of thought and like the base level is is instinct and then reaction. And most people are low order thinkers. They don't think beyond one or two steps ahead of themselves what may happen. They're living purely in the moment.

Many of these people don't have internal monologues, meaning that they think in abstraction and concepts, which is not a bad thing. But typically, people with internal monologues do both. So simultaneously thinking in words while visualizing concepts. And there's limitations. But, you know, it doesn't mean you're stupid. But I think most of these people in media are we call them NPCs.

they've never played a game of chess in their lives. And if they did, they'd be like, whoa, you checkmated me. And it's like, well, my queen was right there. You didn't realize that I would just move it and win? It's like, didn't think one step ahead. That's where we're at.

You've got people who can think one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10 steps ahead. And if you're somebody who calculates your moves, the potential reactions to those moves, you will be successful in business. This is life chess, a rudimentary game based on these these concepts. So where are we today, my friends? A guy like Elon Trump, the way they view the world is largely in if if this than that. And how many times can you do this? Quite a bit.

The average journalist, liberal and Democrat does not have this capability to a certain degree, like Democrat deep state people obviously do. They had schemes against Donald Trump, but Trump did better for a variety of reasons. And the other thing, too, is you can have two people who are equally matched in wit and intelligence, but it's still possible to miss a tactic or technique and underestimate as well.

Underestimating your opponent is always a big mistake. So the things they're saying about Trump just show how stupid they are, Trump and Elon. But, you know, you can be like two of the best fighters in the world and you think I think he's going to go left, but he doesn't. And you weren't necessarily stupid or unskilled to make that prediction or and you were wrong about. But these things happen. So what do we have here?

Elon and Trump and the rest want to figure out who and who isn't worthy of being fired, where the money's being wasted. And what you end up with is these techniques. Thomas Massey lays it out.

He says, when I was a county judge executive in Lewis County, Kentucky, I was responsible for signing the check that paid for every phone landline and cell phone billed to the county. At first, it seemed impossible to fare out the waste, fraud, and abuses for these phone plans. How many phones were taxpayers paying for that were defunct? How many were former county employees who were no longer employed but had been able to keep their phone and mooch off the taxpayer? Indeed. Was any of it fraudulent or inaccurate billing by the service provider? Oh, boy, you betcha. But I came up with an idea.

I told every county department, sheriff, clerk, road crew, jail, etc. Give me a list of their phones matched to their county employees or offices. In one month, I would deactivate every phone that wasn't on one of those lists. A month went by and only about 80% complied with the directive to list their phones. I gave them one more month and issued a serious warning their phones would be turned off at the end of the next month. Finally, I directed the phone company to deactivate all phones that weren't accounted for. And guess what?

The jailer called me up and said the fingerprint machine wouldn't send fingerprints to the state police anymore. Ha! That was the only legitimate phone line that I deactivated. We quickly got it reactivated. I ended up saving our county thousands of dollars on the phone bill, much to the chagrin of the phone company and a few moochers who no longer had free phone plans.

I think most of the savings came from phones that just weren't in service, but had been left off the bill, left on the bill. Sorry. Why do I tell the story? Because that's what Elon is doing by asking federal employees to list five things they did in a week. It's brilliant. What he's doing is brilliant. Requiring any kind of an affirmative response from a worker will prove whether that worker even exists and can be reached. Don't forget the inspector general for Afghanistan found out we were paying millions for soldiers and police in Afghanistan who didn't exist.

There's no telling what Elon's plan will uncover. We will find some employees can't use email or aren't even literate enough to write five things. So everyone take a chill pill and write down your five things to let us know you exist and you can read email and you aren't completely insubordinate. Then we can clean the roster. Indeed, my friends.

And yet here we are with the left, no matter what happens for the love of all that is holy, it's always wrong. You know, even I can praise Joe Biden for trying to get rid of ATM fees, but here we are. Even I can criticize Donald Trump over Tik TOK and, and Charlie Kirk and say, they've never given a legitimate reason for their one 80 on support for Tik TOK. And that pisses me off. However,

Charlie is doing such tremendous work. I deeply respect him. We're allowed to criticize people. Donald Trump is the best president of my lifetime, maybe the best in several lifetimes. And I'm allowed to say I don't like these things. It is a ridiculous reality. These leftist liberals live in where literally everything Elon does is a mistake. You people have to be. I don't even think Robert Reich or or.

Midas touch or David Pakman. I don't think these people are making mistakes. I think they're making intentional choices I would not personally make. And it leads them to great success. Could you imagine being like, man, that David Pakman guy with three million? I bring him up because you talked about him last night with three million followers who's probably making ten million dollars a year. What a moron. No, the guy's smart. He knows exactly what he's doing. They know exactly what they're doing. Elon Musk's not a moron. He knows exactly what he's doing.

And then you got Mark Elias, the lawyer for the Democrats. He's not a moron. He knows exactly what he's doing. These people are calculating. Never underestimate your opponents. These people are, I would call them ranging from the banality of evil to abject evil across the board.

They know exactly what they do, and they don't care about the future. They don't care about what this world becomes. They literally do not. Some of them are just wrong. That's OK. We call that the banality of evil. But I'm going to do this again because I did it yesterday. But to give you an example, David Pakman making a video where he claims Donald Trump's approval rating is at an all-time low and it's a disaster.

It's just ludicrous. It's the inversion of reality. He knows what he's doing. He knows that title will get him clicks. It does. He knows calling Trump and cognitive decline will get him views. He knows that he can put up these things that are clearly not correct or have no basis in reality, and it's going to work. It's the inversion of what we do. And you know what the challenge is? See you in Yang, man.

Certainly, I could make videos where I claim similar things about Democrats being deranged and mentally unwell. But let me put it this way. Joe Biden is discernibly and definitively proven to be in cognitive decline. That wasn't an opinion I just had. And so when we look at the inversion of a Democrat making videos saying Trump is in cognitive decline, he's clearly not.

And we said Joe Biden is in cognitive decline. I know he's not president anymore, but the point is last year during the election, this is the game that was being played. You as the average person entering the political arena, you're going to say, well, who's right? I mean, the Democrat guy saying Trump's out of his mind and the and the and the disaffected liberal guy post would have to call me is saying Biden's in cognitive decline. Joe Biden said Trina Shaba, the pressure, Batikaf, Karen Nexnel, Resson, et cetera, et cetera. Now you've got journalists and other personalities coming out saying we knew he was in decline.

Donald Trump, nothing. He's an old man. So there's some degree of decline there. But he seems to be quite functioning and his plans seem to be working very well. And then the claim that Elon Musk, he's just getting he's everyone's breaking from it. It's not working. It's like you make a move. Imagine playing chess and then you're like, you know, birds opening, you know, move your pawn up a little. I'm not a big chess player. I do play chess, though.

You're like, I'm going to move my pawn here. And then immediately all the Democrats are like, wow, that was really dumb. I can't believe you just moved that pawn there. Your plan failed. And you're like, you haven't even seen my plan. And then they move their pawn and you change and adapt your strategy. The world is not based upon. I hope I can move my pawn up here and then take your knight. Oh, no, he moved his knight. Well, duh. We always expected that to be a possibility. And so we have counter moves planned in advance.

Live in your stupid world. These people are allowed to do it. Whatever. We're winning. The country is changing. We'll see how things go. Big tech is still propping up people who lie, cheat and steal. So we'll see. We got more segments coming up. Stick around and we'll see you all shortly. Speaking a few days ago, Donald Trump warned a big surprise is in store for Democrats. In fact,

He says that many of these blue states may disappear from the map. A truly sinister notion from a fascist president. OK, I'm going to calm down. I got the video for you. And I think Trump was largely referring to voting patterns. He's basically saying that with the popular mandate, with his approval, writing the way it's going and the way they're engaged in. Well, let's just say.

The firing of federal workers, the issues pertaining to bloat and overspending. This is going to have a significant impact on how these elections are actually able to function. Democrats are taking this to say that Trump is basically trying to gut the electoral system and make it impossible for them to win. And that's not completely incorrect. There's two ways to view it. And I know everyone's going to get mad, but let me just say this to piss off the liberals while I'm here.

If I break down the gist as it's viewed by the left and the right, the right gets it. They don't care. They say, yeah, that's what liberals think. If I explain to a liberal what the right's perspective is, they lose their minds. Sorry, guys. That's just the way it seems to work. Donald Trump is basically saying, you know, look, the way things are going, you're not going to see blue states. Not that he's going to destroy them or march in and take over their governments or anything like that.

He's saying they're not going to vote Democrat anymore. And I agree with him largely. But we are seeing a resurgence of let's just call it podcast on the left. They're doing very, very well. As the corporate press dies out, people are flocking to liberal podcasts. They're doing better. I said it would happen. Let me play the clip for you in question of Donald Trump saying blue states may disappear.

With the help of everyone here tonight, the golden age of America has officially begun and the golden age of just this whole thing, the red states, it's going to be leading the way to making our country richer and safer and stronger than ever before. The red states are going to do good. And the blue states, I don't know, maybe they'll totally disappear off that map. Maybe they will totally disappear off that map. Now, you know, it's fascinating.

The challenge in making any kind of clickbait YouTube video is that it only works on people who aren't that bright.

People have been paying attention to Trump and know what he means and what he's talking about. And you're following the news. They're not moved by this story. Hence, it's been a few days and we didn't actually cover it. We mentioned it on Timcast IRL. I didn't think it mattered all that much in the greater context of where we're headed. I don't see it being the biggest issue that Trump made this comment. But of course, it is massively explosive in liberal media.

where they're claiming that this is Trump revealing his deeply sinister plan. He's going to take away your right to vote. There will be no elections. It's not true. But I will say this. I referred to what we're seeing with Trump and Elon as Donald Trump's march to the sea. That is, he is going scorched earth on the resources, the financial apparatus of the bureaucratic state.

This is not just Democrats as Democrats and Republicans with the gutting of USAID with Elon's Doge. He's basically saying, figure out where all this money is going, because it's often being routed to individuals who don't work and want to prop up a corrupt system that keeps the money flowing. That is people who don't work getting free stuff. The fascinating thing is with Elon Musk's whole email thing, where he's like, email us, tell us what you're going to do or tell us what you've been doing the past week or so. Five bullet points.

They're apoplectic Democrats and the media. They're acting like it's the apocalypse to just be like, what are you doing? What are you working on? The crazy thing is, if you took Elon out of the equation and Trump and simply just said, hey, can you guys let me know what you got, what you were working on this week? There's no question. Look, I got to be honest.

If I went to a random McDonald's and said to somebody working there, so what do you guys been working on this week? They'd be like, what do you mean? Like, well, what do you guys do here at McDonald's? They'd be like, we largely just been making people's orders, I guess, you know, like the fries come in and the meat comes in and then we make the food. I'm like, oh, OK. Literally no one cares if you ask someone what they've been working on this week. Coworkers ask it of each other, but they're acting like it's the apocalypse, right?

So here Trump says this, blue states will be totally disappeared from the map. And I see all these liberals, they're losing their minds because they want to be. Look, man, Donald Trump going after government bloat, Elon Musk saying, what did you do? It's mundane. I mean, for the first time, someone's like, we're going to fire people and figure out where we're wasting money. They're acting mad because they have nothing else to be upset about. You want to complain about Ukraine, Russia, Israel. You want to tell me

You think that Trump is kowtowing to Putin or whatever? I'll say, OK, let's have a conversation about the war. And you come to me and then say Trump's off the cuff comments of the apocalypse. I'm like, now you're click baiting. Here's a story from the Daily Mail. President Trump said there's a big, big surprise in store for Democrats in the next year's midterm election. As he warned, blue states will totally disappear off the map. He said maybe they will.

Trump disregarded the age-old political theory that the incumbent president's political party loses seats in Congress in the midterm elections. That's a tendency. I wouldn't call it a theory. It's a fact that it tends to happen.

He expressed confidence on Thursday night that his Republican Party would prevail in the 2026 elections, keeping its total control of the federal government. I think the midterms are going to be a big, big surprise, he told the Republican Governors Association. You go back to that last, I think, eight elections in a row. The midterms haven't been great for the person that wins the presidency. And I think so far we are very popular. He pointed out that he has six hundred eight million dollars in his war chest and will be spending it on my friends.

And he had a warning for the blue states that go for Democrats. The red states are going to do good in the blue states. I don't know. Maybe they'll totally disappear off the map.

A CBS News poll this last week found voters are giving Trump high marks for his first month in office. They described the president as tough, energetic, focused and effective. And the poll found internet positive marks for Americans overall. You know, it's just it's just so remarkably mundane. Donald Trump says, I think we're doing a pretty good job and people are going to vote for us. So Democrats are going to lose. And then all these liberals are like Trump's threatening to take over the country. He's I know I really love there's this meme going around where it's like

Donald Trump is taking over the executive branch of the government. My Lord, what kind of person would have would have granted the power to this individual insane electoral process? Oh, no. The man elected to oversee the executive branch is trying to oversee it. Heavens me.

A CBS News poll last week found voters are giving Trump high marks. They described him as tough, energetic, focused and effective. In more good news for Republicans, the election handicapper Cook Political Report found the GOP has the advantage to keep control of the Senate in next year's election. Republicans hold a 53 to 47 majority in the upper chamber.

For Democrats to win back a majority, the party would need to net four seats. Things are tougher in the House, where Republicans have a scant three-seat majority. But House Republicans are working on a plan to keep control of that chamber, which includes mobilizing Trump voters. Quote, Trump is still here.

Rep. Richard Hudson, who chairs the National Republican Congressional Committee, told The Daily Beast he's still the incumbent president. He still can do rallies and be in mail pieces. And so he's an incredible partner for us. Indeed, Trump, who constitutionally can't run for a third term as president, has still been stockpiling election cash. He can use that money to aid political allies, punish opponents and help Republicans keep full control of Congress in 2026.

We've made a lot of progress, Trump told the governors on Thursday, which marked the one month anniversary of a second term. We're giving credit for having the best four weeks that anybody's ever had as an opening. So now a few more weeks like this and we're going to be in great shape. Trump has moved rapidly to remake the federal government. He slashed diversity, equity. We get it. People, let me tell you what Trump is working on. I believe that his intention largely will be to some effect to wipe, to disappear, to destroy the blue states.

What we're seeing with the gutting of USAID is federal funds that were funneled to the Loudoun County largely, but the surrounding areas of D.C. where nonprofits and legal firms operated getting large sums of cash for inane and insane projects to which that money would then funnel to individuals and funnel back to the Democratic Party. Often these NGOs could give money to other NGOs who are legally allowed to make political contributions or to promote certain politicians.

I worked in the nonprofit industry, so I know how this works. You have a lot of individuals who will organizations will go out and they'll say, can you donate money to us? We're, I don't know, saving the whales. And then you'll be like, I'd like to save the whales here. Here's money. These organizations are 501 C4 organizations, meaning they're allowed to politic. And they say this. Sorry, it's not tax deductible because we do engage in politics. We have to.

The money you give to save the whales goes to a Democrat politician that they are propping up. These nonprofits can also receive grant money from the government. Donald Trump's actions are to cut the resources off. That creates this circuitous path by which the government funds NGOs and law firms, and that money funnels through a bunch of other NGOs and back into the pockets of not just Democrats. It was Democrats and Republicans for a long time until the MAGA party emerged.

For now, Democrats are acting like this is the end of the world on our slash Illinois and subreddit. The subreddit Trump says blue states will totally disappear off the map next year promises big, big surprise. Well, that's you, Illinois. I know I'm from there. Cool. So where are we going? The blue S of a is that it? He's going to get a red Sharpie and color all the blue states with it. Ha ha. Imagine the outrage of a Democrat talked about red states disappearing. Dude, you guys are so silly.

This is why nobody picked this story up, really. On the right, at least. We'll see if anyone actually cares on the right. They're going to be like, yeah, we don't care. Trump's basically just saying the blue states where Democrats largely win congressional seats, they're going to be moving Republican because Trump's polling is good. He's doing well. And they're apoplectic. You know, it's tough.

There's a lot of people who like what Trump is doing, and so they're kind of disengaged. They got nothing to watch and nothing to worry about. Right. And for the people who hate Donald Trump, they have everything, everything but to do. They must watch these podcasts. They must watch these news programs where they say Trump is destroying the world.

Literally nothing's happened. Firing federal workers. It's remarkable to me. People are like, the federal workers getting fired at the end of the world. I'm like, you don't even know what they do. You don't even know what their jobs are. So let's chill out, see what happens. But this is a move that has to happen. The idea that the government, the public sector would just operate indefinitely without any kind of turnover or reconciliation or reform is insane. I'll leave it there, my friends. We got more segments coming up today. So thanks for hanging out and we will see you all in the next segment.

This is a major story that started breaking just a moment ago. FBI files on Epstein allegedly being destroyed. Now, we have no hard confirmation, but there are individuals saying it's been confirmed by a whistleblower to Michael Schellenberger that individuals in the government, knowing the release is imminent, have begun deleting files related to JFK and Epstein to prevent this information from getting to the public. Now, you have a mass outcry of individuals

calling on Pam Bondi to release the Epstein files now before it is too late. They say there is no reason to wait any longer. It was, I believe, was a couple days ago. Pam Bondi said she had the Epstein client list on her desk. So the question is, what is taking so long?

You got to recognize, my friends, this is giving an opportunity to nefarious actors who are going to be able to go in and say she's got the list. Let's start getting rid of any information that could implicate their criminal buddies. Now, I'll tell you this. Before we jump into what's going on, the destruction of this, we got a couple of tweets. There are legitimate reasons why information is classified. I think the Epstein list should be released. The question is, and I think y'all would agree with me. Let's say some people on the Epstein client list.

are actively engaged in criminal activities with unknown third parties of prominence. So you got a list. Let's say, you know, John and Jane Doe, Epstein Island confirmed. Here's what they did. Criminals, trafficking, etc. Then.

In those files, it says something like John Doe then met with three individuals, a part of this organization as they were leaving on a private plane. Those individuals, we believe, were engaged in trafficking and facilitating trafficking. But we have not yet completed that investigation. The question is, do you trust the FBI?

Me, I don't. With Cash and Dan joining, maybe I will start to. But you got to understand these deep state shills, these corrupt individuals are still going to be there lurking in the shadows until Cash and Dan can get a grip on what's going on. In the meantime, there is deep concerns. When they announced Dan Bongino's coming in, you better believe these criminals are trying to cover their tracks.

The question then becomes, why was Epstein covered up for so long? And why is it taking so long for us to get any kind of information on what really happened? Stands to reason.

government elements were involved in some capacity. Maybe it was a sweetheart deal. That's the easy explanation, right? FBI said, Epstein, you give us this, we'll give you that. And then let them get away with it. Maybe there are people who are in on the take. I'm not saying I know for sure, but you better believe that as high as Epstein goes, powerful people being implicated can get their hands on a lot. So here's the story right now, trending on X. FBI files on Epstein allegedly being destroyed.

Allegations have surfaced that the FBI is deleting records related to Jeffrey Epstein, as claimed by an anonymous whistleblower. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, leading a declassification task force, has publicly demanded transparency on these files, along with other government secrets. These claims are prompting further scrutiny and demands for openness from political figures like Senator Marshall Blackburn.

I'm at ongoing public interest in the Epstein case. So I've got some some other tweets here. Douglas McGregor says breaking FBI personnel busted, destroying server evidence developing. This was last night. The general on X again, not super familiar.

A whistleblower has exposed that the FBI has begun permanently erasing files that may be connected to Jeffrey Epstein. And then from Dominic Michael Trippi, a political analyst and writer, he says FBI whistleblowers confirms to journalist Michael Schellenberger that FBI employees were destroying evidence related to Jeffrey Epstein files and the JFK assassination. OK, Elon Musk chiming in with exclamation point. Let me see if I can get...

Michael Schellenberger on X. Now, this guy's been of good credibility and notability. He says, here we go. We got this tweet here. This is big news. FBI whistleblower, go back. You will confirm to me that a source inside the FBI said FBI employees were destroying evidence on servers and that he has informed Kash Patel.

I hope he and AG Pam Bondi, John Ratcliffe, Elon Musk, real Annapolina Luna are preventing this. We urgently need disclosure. Take a look at this. This is going crazy. Annapolina says there is a massive war happening in the intelligence agencies right now. The corruption being exposed is actual treason. It's getting hot. Charlie Kirk pointing out, and I've got this story pulled up.

CNN says top leadership at the CIA are worried anti-Trump personnel may be motivated to sell out America to a foreign power. In other words, the people who created the Russia hoax might now sell America's secrets to Russia, and then CNN will be there to blame Trump. This is getting crazy. So first...

Delay to Jeffrey Epstein files being released raises questions. This story from the morning Newsweek reporting that Epstein, which we know a lot about, people are concerned that Pam Bondi said she's got the list on her desk, but she's not releasing it. Why get it out now? I'm going to say this. I like Pam Bondi. I trust with Kash Patel and Dan. We're moving in the right direction. We don't want to compromise active investigations into Epstein's friends.

And if they release information too soon, it's going to say, let's say there's a guy named John Doe. He doesn't know the government's tracking him. He did some dealings with Epstein through a third party. And if they release his name on the list of suspected clients, that dude lawyers up, jumps ship. You don't want to let your these people know what's going on. The problem then is, will the American people tolerate this? Perhaps they're going to say no, release it now and let the court of public opinion handle it. That's it.

That's that may be the direction people want to want to go in dealing with this. So Pam Bondi says she's got the list. She's seen it. She's knowing knows who's there. Let's roll. What are we waiting for? Now, check this one out from the Federalist. Deep state bureaucrats threatened to sell state secrets if Trump isn't nice to them. CNN reporters, Federalist picking up the story. They say, brace yourself as the propaganda press tries to stop Trump.

Expect news stories screaming about ordinary budget and staff cuts that would happen in any bloated private business, but under Trump will be described as unfair. Take, for example, the February 24th number from CNN, how Trump's government cutting moves risk exposing the CIA secrets. The short report required four CNN writers. Wow.

Exposing CIA secrets sounds pretty dangerous. In the piece, CNN warned, Going on to say,

On the CIA's seventh floor, home to top leadership, some officers are also quietly discussing how mass firings and the buyouts already offered to staff risk creating a group of disgruntled former employees who might be motivated to take what they know to a foreign intelligence service.

Is that a threat from the CIA? Is CNN reporting that Trump should keep everyone employed because if he doesn't, former CIA agents will spill U.S. secrets to our enemies? Apparently, that's what they're saying. If that's the case, these are exactly the employees who should be fired. Within the same piece, CNN ridiculously makes it sound as if valued model intelligence employees will get the ax and that those same employees have loose lips and are ripe for the picking. Which is it? So right now, CNN's running this narrative.

Intelligence officers are going to be who are facing firings or layoffs are going to sell state secrets. You better dang well believe these same people are going to be destroying evidence to get them off the hook. We're still is the middle ground. How many of these individuals will destroy evidence just to spite Donald Trump and all of us who voted for a real change? Let me tell you a quick story, my friends. I knew a guy back in Chicago.

And he didn't pay his rent. He was kind of broke. It's a tough situation. I get it.

His job wasn't paying him enough, and so they evicted him. What did he do? Well, I can understand if you're an honorable guy and you can't pay your rent, you're upset, you get evicted, you leave. No. He bought Hershey's chocolate syrup, and he squeezed it in every crack he could find in the building. Now, why would you do that? It's like, bro, you couldn't pay your rent. We're not mad at you because you couldn't. We're just telling you you can't stay here if you can't because someone's got to maintain the building. So he said he was going to ruin that apartment.

by putting chocolate syrup in all of the cracks and crevices, like between, like, you know, cracks in the walls. So it's impossible to clean without a major renovation or remodeling. He wanted to make sure nobody could ever had it. He went scorched earth, but he was the one at fault. I'm sure the communists are saying, no, it's not. You should be allowed to live there, but you better dang well believe there are going to be people in these in these agencies who are going to say, oh, you want to come at me and insult me? You want to impugn my honor? And they're going to start deleting things. Oopsie daisy, oopsie daisy.

They're going to sink the ship to make sure that Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, and Dan Bongino won't be able to use it. They're going to scuttle the ship to make sure that when the new captain boards it, it's useless. You know, I'm deeply concerned. We want this Epstein list out now. And with a trend that there's fears, Michael Schellenberg reporting, they're destroying some of this evidence. What are we waiting for? Lock these people out immediately. But wait.

When Elon Musk comes in and says, what are you doing? Step outside, locks the door. They claim he's a fascist taking over. The Democrat and liberal media are creating an opportunity for criminals because, you know, criminals exist to cover up their tracks. It makes you wonder who's involved in this stuff, man. We'll see how it goes. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone. You know, we got more segments coming up. We'll keep you updated on the client list.

Y'all, this is crazy. We'll see you on the next segment.

Jon Stewart suffers gruesome injury on Daily Show set as segment goes awry. OK, he cut his hand is pretty bad. And I liked a lot of what Jon Stewart was saying. He was doing this bit where he's basically like, yo, we need cheaper drug prices, the corporations. Why are we subsidizing that? I'm like, great point. And then he bangs a mug on the table and then looks down and goes, oh, hides his hand. Later on, lifts up blood everywhere.

And he said that he's going to be going to the hospital very soon. Now, the interesting thing about the bit is not that he bashed his hand open and is bleeding quite a bit. It's that he's trying to play this Democrat moderation game.

Where he's basically saying Democrats come back from the brink of oblivion and criticizing Doge while kind of praising Doge. The whole thing's rather interesting. Following this, a viral trend. Jon Stewart suffers a gruesome injury on Daily Show. Oh, come on, guys. I'll let them do the clickbait and I'll react to it. How about that? The Daily Show host worked through a bloody hand injury during the show's opening monologue.

I don't know that it was an opening monologue. I think the whole video is it's closer to the end of the episode. And he's got this mug and he's making a joke. He's going after Elon and Trump, saying that they're targeting the wrong things and that DEI is not the problem. This is the moderation game we talked about. If Democrats lost and they know that DEI is deeply unpopular, the game they're trying to play is, OK, well,

It is stupid, but look at how the corporations are ripping us off and how we're subsidizing it, to which we all agree. So I like what he's saying. Let's bring Jon Stewart back to earth. Maybe in a couple of years, the Democratic Party will have purged the far left nonsense. Here's a story from the Post. They say Jon Stewart accidentally cut open his hand on Monday Night's Daily Show after shattering a mug on his desk as he railed against the pharmaceutical industry. Hey, we're all there with you, buddy.

Stewart spent much of the time in the of the opening monologue, criticizing Trump and Elon Musk's effort to make budget cuts via via their doge. Stewart called himself doge curious, said he would also like to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse, then went after the effort for instead targeting everyday workers and relatively low cost programs. Spare me. That's the lie. That's the trick. We'll get into that.

Slam Doge for not taking on the oil industry, which reached billions in government subsidies and the pharmaceutical companies which develop drugs without the taxpayer money. Bro, let me just stop you there. None of us are big fans of the pharmaceutical industrial complex, but subsidy, not cash.

OK, tax subsidy, not cash. Let me break this down for the left. This is how they're lying to you guys. When they say, did you know that they give three billion dollars in tax subsidies to that company? They're basically saying they're giving them a discount. You can't spend a discount. If I said if you come and buy a skateboard from boonies, HQ dot com right to arm bears and we'll give you ten dollars off. You don't instantly have ten dollars to go buy a cheeseburger dinner.

You have still the same amount of money. And if you want the skateboard, it's a little less. That's tax subsidy. So by all means, if you're upset about it, I'm here with you, buddy. We shouldn't be subsidizing. We got to negotiate these things better. I'm not super concerned about the oil industry, to be completely honest. Hey, look, you got these far left activists now gumming up, putting spray in Tesla chargers. I thought climate change was a problem. So I'm not going to believe you on this one.

But the idea that Elon Musk and Doge can cut costs by targeting tax subsidy makes literally no sense. So let's just do this, though. I do like a lot of what Jon Stewart is saying. He's the only funny guy The Daily Show has ever had to this day. He's barely on. And here's the view in question. This is an opening monologue. It's 20 minutes. Let me show you the video.

The injury's not gruesome. You never really see anything. He got a cut. It's no big deal. But I want you to hear what he has to say, and we'll break it down. At the same time, yeah, it's viral and trending that he cut his hand open. Because we've already paid for it with our subsidies! Uh-oh. So that's the moment where he breaks the glass. It's obviously a prop mug meant to be broken. A little missed out there. Yeah. Uh-oh. I'll be going to the hospital soon.

What we do at pharmaceutical companies is like the worst Shark Tank deal in f***ing history. Well, we're asking for billions of dollars of your money. Oh, what do we get, 10% of your company? Uh, no. Do we get a discount? Uh, no. What do we get? Have you checked your perineum? Mm-hmm.

We live in the upside down. And don't blame the corporations. They are profit-seeking psychopaths that need the lowest wages and the cheapest raw materials to drive their highest profits. I'm going to pause and say, I absolutely agree with that. Not the individuals, but the structure of corporations literally do rely on exploitation. Now, hold on. I am not talking about the leftist Marxist. You're being exploited. I'm saying...

constantly looking for the path of least resistance is in the structure of corporations. I agree. This is why government should regulate to make sure that as the path of least resistance is being traveled through, we block off any holes for critical infrastructure and to avoid scams and such so that it flows in the proper direction. Some resistance is OK. Do we, the taxpayers, subsidize their psychopathy?

Agreed. That's the waste, fraud, and abuse in our system. He's still talking about taxing more. He's not talking about...

Getting your money back. OK, this is what Jon Stewart either doesn't understand or is intentionally obfuscating. OK, the issue is my money, your money, our money is taken and put into garbage programs. The argument that corporations get tax subsidies, effectively discounts on their taxes should be targeted, says nothing of them taking our money and putting it into garbage programs. Bro, I'm with you. I don't like these pharmaceutical companies getting subsidized.

I don't like them getting freebie sweetheart deals. I don't like them running commercials. I don't like medication mandates. But that doesn't change the fact that what Jon Stewart is saying is tax everyone more.

His response to we've got waste, fraud and abuse in government. People are spending your money on gender studies and stuff like that. That's not the issue. Don't target that. Tax the corporations instead. And I'm like, well, can we do both? Can we, I don't know, stop taxing the average person and put the burden on larger pharmaceutical monopolies? You know, look, I am not some some far leftist. I'm also not a big conservative. I got no problem saying I think the government should regulate these massive multinational corporations that are selling us down the river.

John, take us on. That's it. That's what we should be going after. Not the fantastical, over-generous terrorist condom allowances. Wait, wait, wait. What? Check this part out. This is where it gets nuts. Another program, $50 million plus another $50 million for condoms for Hamas. You know that? $100 million for condoms. Condoms. Does everybody know what a condom is? LAUGHTER

You delivering the speech in an elementary school? Why wouldn't you? You know, come on, John. I get you're making quips, but you should be laughing with Trump, not quipping at him. Trump is making a joke. He's pushing the exaggeration. Do you guys even know what that is? What they're spending money on? $100 million for condoms in Gaza? That was a real thing. And they shut it down. John should be saying, why are we spending money on that?

Why wouldn't they know what condoms are? Look, capitalism is by definition exploitative. I'm going to pause there. Yes. Doesn't mean it's bad. Exploit doesn't. It's you know, look, there's there's different ways to view the word. You can view it mechanically. Like I'm looking at a computer system and found an exploit, a means by which I can bypass a certain system and access. You're not stealing from anybody. An exploit. It's a means a path of least resistance.

Capitalist systems trade enterprise at the largest levels are trying to find the path of least resistance. Carry on, John. It's how it operates. That's fine. Yeah, it's fine. Government's role should be to ease the negative effects on Americans of that exploitation. Completely agreed. Now, the degree to which we move in that direction is up for debate.

Where and how far the regulations should go is a deep question. In West Virginia, for instance, one of the problems we're having is that the state has banned independent contracting. And you've got these union scumbags lying, claiming that's not true. But you go ask anybody out there and they're going to be like, yeah, you can't do it anymore. They're trying to double tax top talent. We can't bring talent into the state. They're telling us that we got a dude.

He sends us, hey, I filmed this video. Do you want to buy it? We say, sure. That's an employee, they said. We got to make sure you're not exploiting people. Exploiting people? I bought a video from a guy. Nope. They're saying we have to hire him full time. Otherwise, we can't buy a video from him. That is overregulation. But I do believe some regulation is still good just because bad exists doesn't mean you don't get rid of all of it. Sometimes corporations do cause problems through exploitation. Not subsidize that treachery with our money.

We're getting f***ed at a diddy party and they're making us buy the baby oil. That is what Doge is targeting. So John is trying to play this game where he's like, I'm against Elon and Trump. They're bad guys. He says, I'm Doge curious because how do you actually argue against a popular idea?

That's the game he plays. You go to the average person and you say, how would you like to cut the wasteful spending and abuse in government? They're going to say yes. John's going to pull the redirect. Well, you are right. We, of course, want to do that. But shouldn't we deal with tax subsidies? And you get average people being like, yeah, that's a good point. Why are we getting screwed over at Diddy Party and buying the oil?

And then John says, great, join me and my team and we will take care of their subsidies, which in turn is him saying if the tax base is $1 million hypothetical number, he's not talking about cutting that tax burden down on you. He's saying we'll just take more from them. And that doesn't change the fact that you're still buying the baby oil.

Nothing that Jon Stewart is saying is talking about you spending less. He's talking about getting rid of discounts for corporations to increase their tax liability, but will not reallocate any of your tax funds back to you. I want. We're going to I think he's going to look at his hand at some point. I want Doge to work.

I want better efficiencies. I want to get rid of the alphabet agencies that don't do enough. Make the Pentagon pass an audit. Yes, yes, yes. But we are dozing in the wrong place if we want to really change the system. No, John, no. Companies like Walmart, McDonald's make billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidized profits, yet many of their hardworking employees need taxpayer subsidized public assistance. Technically correct.

That's what he's saying. Assistance. What these companies have been accused of is they pay so little that their employees actually qualify for welfare. And then they're working full time at Walmart and collecting welfare checks, which means we got to pay. And then by dropping those wages down as big corporations, they get to make a profit. I agree, John. We can deal with that. That's a good point.

So how do you do it? It's tough. So long as welfare is available, these corporations can make this exploitative move. So what do you do? The argument for many people is to increase the minimum wage, but that will just result in a shock to the system, layoffs at small businesses and a consolidation of power at the highest levels. That's a fact. I didn't make that up. Go to any accountant and ask them.

Now, getting rid of welfare, pulling the rug out from people in the middle of the night, that's going to leave people in trouble. But I do believe the welfare programs that as it's as it's structured allows these corporations this move. I don't know that a minimum wage solves the problem if all it's going to do is harm small business. Perhaps then we restrict the ability of people to collect welfare if they are working for these corporations.

It's not so easy. The corporations aren't going to want to play ball. Minimum wage doesn't guarantee a problem solved. It creates more problems and there's no easy answer. But I can tell you this, John, what you're arguing is not in line at all with what Trump and Elon are doing. You're talking about two different problems. And he says we're dozing in the wrong direction. All he's really saying is, yeah, sure, I get it. We want to get rid of these agencies, too, but we should do this instead.

You know, how about we do both? And if your argument is triage, well, then agree to disagree. But the time cometh for these corporations all the same. You got to understand Trump and his administration. These people are all largely former Democrats. So as John takes billions in bailouts that they use in stock buybacks and bonuses. But if you're on food assistance, you're not allowed to buy hot food with it.

I agree. You've still not argued to me, John, why we should not be firing these people in the government who do nothing and stop giving money to these weird programs. I don't understand how John Stewart can show the hundred million dollars for condoms and then be like, you know, who cares? That to me is incredible, to be completely honest. Let's focus on other things. Because apparently heated entrees are for winners.

We are subsidizing the very system that makes workers' lives harder in the first place. But once again, he's not telling you the truth. The subsidy he's referring to, that he initially stated, he is now, he's pulling an old bait and switch. He said it first.

Tax subsidy. Does that mean that we're giving money? No. It means that if Corporation A runs a business, they pay 28%. We tell Walmart, we'll cut you a deal. You'll pay 20% if you set up your businesses here because we want the economic activity. That's not giving money. It's cutting a deal. The money doesn't exist. Now you argue, yeah, but if they were paying that, we'd have that money for our programs.

Jon Stewart isn't arguing to lower your taxes. He's arguing to increase taxes on them. Your money will still be taken. You're still buying the baby oil you're getting screwed over with. So, bro, how about you triage in our direction first and recognize you're wrong? I hope your hand is all right. I'll leave it there. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. I think we got more segments or something. I don't know. We'll see y'all at TimCast IRL. Thanks for hanging out.
