Trump JUST VOIDED Biden's Pardons Of Fauci & Biden Family, Dan Bongino Can PROSECUTE Them Now
02:12:00 Share

I'm ready for my life to change. ABC Sunday's American Idol is all new. Give it your all, good luck, come out with a golden ticket. Let's hear it. This is a man's world. I've never seen anything like it. And a new chapter begins. We're going to Hollywood. Carrie Underwood joins Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, and Ryan Seacrest on American Idol. New Sundays, 8, 7 central on ABC and stream on Hulu.

Donald Trump has declared Joe Biden's pardons of Fauci, J6 members and his family void. The reason? Well, Joe Biden used an auto pen function, an app essentially that automatically signs pardons. Many have argued that pardons require a wet signature physically done on paper.

I don't know how true that is because Obama, Trump and Biden have all been accused of using the auto pen feature, though. In the instance of Obama and Trump, there weren't questions of cognitive capabilities and they weren't as pronounced. Many people have started to take a look at the executive orders, memos and pardons Joe Biden signed. And yeah, auto signature, they say auto pen. And it's like, I don't know, it's like you ever use DocuSign or whatever, where it's like your signature is saved. You click a button, just applies it.

Donald Trump says that they're void. Now, something else just happened this morning, which makes me wonder.

Dan Bongino, now the deputy director of the FBI, I'd like to give a massive shout out to Dan Bongino, who is a gentleman and a scholar. And oh, boy, am I excited. You know, we had so much happen over the weekend. It's funny, really, because I used to work weekends. OK, I used to do the morning show this show on the weekends.

Every day, no days off, including the weekends. And it was always really tough to source news during the weekends. So the shows were a bit more cultural, like, hey, this video game is dumb or that's woke and this is woke. And who wants to watch that commercial? Because they'd be woke or something like this. Now it's like.

I take a couple of days off to spend time with the family like most regular human beings. And there's a plane full of violent murderers and rapists over international waters. And the Democrats are like, bring them back. And Trump's like, no. And a judge ordered a plane over international waters to turn around and come back to the country. It was on its way to El Salvador where they killed.

deported some of the most violent criminals. Now, there are questions there because I'm always a fan of due process. And my concern is if they're just saying we hereby declare this person to be a non-citizen violent offender, then, you know, we want a court to determine that. I don't want American citizens caught up in this.

That being said, I I got to be honest, guys, about that story, too. And I'll do a bigger segment on this a little bit later. I really don't care about the crimes after, quote, illegal immigrant and quote. OK, as soon as they're illegal immigrant, you deport them. And if they you can argue any other crime and say, was he really accused of being this a drug dealer or murder? And I'm going to be like they went before a court.

proved to a judge or at least showed the judge the papers. He's not a citizen. The judge signed off on deportation. See ya. I'm not sure they're actually even going that far, which is a challenge because my concern is you'll get innocent people swept up. You always do. You always do. But there are big challenges. And I think ultimately what it comes down to is this. Back to topic at hand, my friends. War. I tried to do it like Andrew Breitbart, but I'm nowhere near as good as he was. War.

It's an administrative civil war. That's what Eric Weinstein said. Call it whatever you want. It's a civil strife. I don't know. But the efforts that were laid out against Donald Trump to destroy his life, to destroy people like me and you and our way of life, it's it's I'm sorry. I'm seeing all these Democrats coming out and being like Donald Trump is voiding the pardons of Joe Biden. I mean, this is autocracy. And I'm like, I just don't care anymore.

Abraham Lincoln is the most popular president in history. I'm sorry. We are so far beyond the but my principles. Abraham Lincoln, when they pull and say, who is the most popular? Like, who's the best president of all time? Everyone's like Abraham Lincoln. It's like, oh, yeah, that guy suspended habeas corpus in a corridor between D.C. and up to Pennsylvania, basically ripping through Maryland and Delaware. There was no constitution. They could do whatever they wanted.

This is a president who said, I am going to take soldiers and we are going to march in by force. This is the president of Sherman's march to the scene. I don't get me wrong. I don't like the Confederacy. My point is simply that to do the right thing, Abraham Lincoln said, your rights be damned. And that is terrifying.

It is terrifying how much people love the man and cherish him. Why? Because the Confederacy was worse. Welcome to war. Your principles mean nothing. And the winners take everything. We have sat back for so long saying, please stop doing this, Democrats. Please stop violating the rights of people in this country. Please stop going after Trump's lawyers. That's the moment that that was that that was the shot heard around the world as far as I'm concerned.

Jenna Ellis, Trump's lawyer. She cried on TV. She cried on camera, apologized, begged for forgiveness. Pathetic. But I get it. She was a lawyer. Donald Trump retained the lawyer. She provided legal service. They accused her of RICO. They charged her under two RICO statutes simply for being Trump's lawyer. One of them. They went after many other lawyers that were working with Trump.

That was it. As far as I'm concerned. You know, I always say this. We don't know when the conflict truly begins at the first battle of Bull Run, as most of you now know, because it's beaten in your head. I won't shut up about it. People thought there was no civil war and they were picnicking, despite the fact historically we say the civil war had already begun when they started going after Trump's lawyers. That's when it was like, holy crap. No, no, listen.

They went after Trump himself. But presidents have been gone after before, like Nixon, right? Watergate scandal. He resigns. He gets a blunt. He's a pardon right away. There have been efforts to impeach. Rarely there have been accusations against presidents. Now, what they did to Donald Trump was unprecedented. Don't get me wrong. Trying to put him in prison in New York, trying to seize his assets, his buildings. It was nuts. All of these were terrifying. When they went after his lawyers, they said the gloves are off. They were going crazy.

They I'll keep the language light, but they were going to the end. Of course, there were two attempts on Donald Trump's life as well. So now I see this story. Trump says Biden's pardon pardons are void because they were signed with auto pen. And I say, yeah, maybe.

This ain't even the craziest thing Donald Trump has done. But y'all want to come to me and say, please, good sir, where are your principles? They went into garbage disposal the day y'all charged Trump's lawyers with crimes. I said, holy crap, they're trying to literally kill us.

When they firebombed the White House grounds and set fire to St. John's Church, when they killed 30 plus people in the George Floyd riots, when they imprisoned the McMichaels and that guy, Brian's, I forget his first name, the guy, that guy in the Almanac because simply filmed something and they put him in prison effectively for life. I said these people are going above and beyond to destroy us, our lives. And two people nearly killed the president. One guy got a shot off.

Now, as Trump is saying, if these were not actually signed by Joe Biden, they're not real pardons. And I agree with that 100 percent. If Joe Biden want to issue a pardon, he could sign it himself. But if he did not, are there really pardons here? Let's read the news, my friends. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone. You know, you can join us over at Rumble Premium.

Although I have very little hope. Take a look at this from The Guardian. Oh, boy. Donald Trump claimed on Monday that pardons signed by Joe Biden were void, vacant, and of no further force in effect because they were signed with an auto pen. Well, I got the actual tweet from you. I said, oh, ish. Trump says Fauci and family pardons are void. He made this post in the wee hours of the morning. Donald Trump says...

The pardons that sleepy Joe Biden gave the unselect committee of political thugs and many others are hereby declared void, vacant and of no further force or effect because of the fact that they were done by auto pen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them. But more importantly, he did not know anything about them.

The necessary pardoning documents were not explained to or approved by Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime. Therefore, those on the unselect committee who destroyed and deleted all evidence obtained during their two-year witch hunt of me and many other innocent people should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level. The fact is, they were probably responsible for the documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of

Of the worst president in the history of our country, Crooked Joe. Crooked Joe Biden. The whinging, of course, has already begun. But my friends, you know, as I mentioned, something else happened today. Dan Bongino officially joined the FBI. Dan, buddy, tell me you will go after the criminals. I have faith. Let me tell you, there have been a series of swattings. It's been getting bad. You want to I'm telling you.

They can scream and they can spit and they can yell all about Donald Trump and he's defying court orders, whatever it might be. And I'm just like, you are never going to get me to argue in defense of Democrats at this point. The level of evil that these people have wrought. Now, hold on, hold on, hold your horses. I want to find Democrats. I want to find the Constitution and I will not side with Democrats. So I'll tell you this with these deportations.

As long as there is some evidence, these individuals are illegal immigrants. That's the only thing that matters. Trump can argue they're violent criminals. I don't care. I don't want to hear it. I appreciate the worst of the worst going first. All you need to do is say they are not citizens. The public is allowed like post the names of the individuals. Give us a record of who they are so that we know for a fact that

These people that are being sent to El Salvador, when the judge is like, turn around, hold on there a minute. They're not citizens. Then I say, fine, Trump, do your thing. I will defend the safeguards, but I'm also not so stupid. That's why I brought up Abraham Lincoln, because all these Democrats are going to come out and say Trump's violating the Constitution. So did Abraham Lincoln. But you love him. Everybody does because the Confederates sucked. And there's a lot of people that are like, no, Tim, it was the Northern War of Aggression. Listen.

Southern states weren't seceding over trade disputes. They got mad that Abraham Lincoln won. They thought slavery was going to be abolished. So they decided to secede. Now, y'all can make the argument that states had a right to cede or whatever you want to make. I like what Ulysses S. Grant had to say about this principle over paper. He said your admittance into this union.

required the sacrifice of blood and treasure. And now you seek to leave with nothing repaid. We say no, no. And and this letter is amazing. He goes on to say it is the right of every person and of every peoples to fight for their sovereignty and self-determination. But when you lose, you will be ruled by your betters.

And I think that's something a lot of people need to consider. The southern states, when they tried to secede, so many other states foot the bill so that they could be a part of this union, so that there could be a country. And they said, we're going to sever that. It's like, whoa, buddy. OK, you can't just leave right now. You owe me. And they're like, nah, we don't like the way you run things. So Abraham Lincoln says we will not let this great nation fall and I will do whatever it takes.

Now, many people view Abraham Lincoln as a tyrant. But I'll stress this again. The preservation of the union was preferable. The ending of slavery was paramount. Other nations had already done it. It was the right thing to do. And these states did not like the fact that the institution of slavery was losing popularity and was likely about to be abolished, as we see with the Civil War. Took a few more years after this. So Abraham Lincoln says, we will do whatever we must.

We look back on him with fondness. Today, we are in the thick of things. And depending on what happened with the Civil War, I don't know what people would have said. But as they say, history is written by the victors. Who knows what would have been written should the Confederates have actually won? There'd be two nations. There'd be a Confederacy and a United States. It'd be four countries in North America. Here's a story from Fox News. FBI investigating rise in swatting incidents after several conservatives targeted, Kash Patel says.

And we have this from the bearded vet, bearded vets on X. He's got 194,000 followers. He says, well, add me to the swatted list. I says everybody is fine and secure. I don't even know what the number is up to at this point, but it's up there.

The far left are extremely violent. Violence is the norm for them. Does the corporate press, the Democratic Party, do they come out and condemn the violence? They don't. As most of you already know, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden actually solicited donations, assisted, assisted in the donation donations. Let me pause. Kamala Harris personally solicited donations for the bail fund of these people who are rioting during the covid George Floyd riots.

Several of Biden's staff contributed to that fund. They not only support it, they advocate for more. Now you got Bill Burr. I know he's just a comedian, just a comedian. That's how he talks, right? And he's calling for more violence. 100% he is. He's cheering on the violence. He's saying he's calling for death of targeted individuals of the wealthy. And he's saying free Luigi more than once. And he's doing so, I think, because he's a coward.

He thinks the left is going to win. That's it. He's got no principles. The reason he's doing this is because he's just about as rich as the UnitedHealthcare CEO. So when people are going around murdering millionaires saying, eat the rich, he's sitting there looking at his wallet going, because he's just about as wealthy, depending on the reports you read. So he decides he's going to come out on their side and maybe they will spare him. It's normal. It is. I mean, it's cowardly. But you take a look at all these Tesla vehicle owners right now.

And you've got people putting on their Teslas. We bought this before we knew Elon was crazy. You've got people changing the logos so their Teslas look like other vehicles. Kid you not. There's one viral photo where someone made their Tesla. They took all the symbols off and they put Audi symbols all over it so that people would think it wasn't a Tesla. Now, some people say that's really dumb because you can tell it's Tesla. Nah, you'd be surprised. You've got videos of this guy keying a Tesla. Gets caught.

Several stories now of people vandalizing Tesla vehicles because the left are psychotic extremists. It's always been the case. Finally, now with Trump as president, we are getting some accountability and enforcement. What the Democrats can't handle is that for once there is a political administration that is playing the same game as they are. You know what they say, though? When you get into a pissing contest, all that happens, everybody gets covered in piss.

Well, I got news to add to that one. The Democrats have been pissing on us and telling it's raining, telling us it's raining for a decade plus. And sooner or later, someone said, we're not just going to sit here. We're not. And so you can come to me and you can say, but Tim, but Tim, your principles. I'll be like, my principles were crushed by the Democrats. Everything that I cared about and believed in was beaten to a pulp, grinded to a paste and thrown into the wind.

And then I sat here saying the things that I've cared about for so long, free speech, the marketplace of ideas, as it were, the market in general. I mean, honor, loyalty, dignity. These things were being absolutely crushed by Democrats. So we say we need Donald Trump.

Trump gets in and he starts taking actions. And instantly you get many of these Lollaberts, Lollabertarians. Oh, I can't believe Trump would do that. I don't even care about these people. You can go stand in the middle and get and get swept up in the chaos. I don't care. I'm saying right now what I've witnessed and what I've realized, what I've learned. Perhaps when we try to preserve the peace, when we call on a people to be honorable and dignified, that is where we have our principles.

But when the barbarians are at the gates and they are beating down the doors and you stand there and say, wait, open the doors, let us hear them out. It is normal policy of us to allow visitors in my guy. These people, their intentions are clear. Fauci got a blanket pardon for an 11 year period. Tell me what for? Why should I care that Donald Trump says those pardons are void? I don't care at all.

The Biden family blanket pardons literally don't care. Now, Donald Trump may not need to actually void these pardons if he can. I don't know, because he can force these people to testify and they can't they can't plead the fifth. They can't. They're immune from criminal charges on the in these regards. Right now, if they commit perjury, they can be charged. They pardoned for that. However, at any rate, with this, it seems like maybe we're going to see some action. And I've been saying with all due respect to Trump.

Cash Patel, he's been doing a great job, a bang up job. But Cash is a moderate guy. He's not this MAGA crazy extremist that they want to paint him out to be. Some people thought he wouldn't get confirmed. And I'm like, have you ever listened to the guy? He says he wants to keep the FBI on staff and send out to go enforce the law. He's not one of these dudes saying abolish the FBI. He's not this passionate fist bang on the table. I will come for you kind of guy. He was very reasonable.

And I respect it. Dan Bongino, on the other hand, is the guy who looked in the camera and says, you will be held to account if you are a criminal, if you have violated your oath. And then they were like, we want to make Dan Bongino deputy FBI director. I couldn't believe it. To leave one of the biggest podcasts in the world. He had the largest live show in the world. That's amazing. So I am very, very much looking forward to the actions of Dan Bongino.

Donald Trump is a wartime president. Call it whatever you want. Administrative civil war, civil strife or looming civil war. I don't know. But I can tell you this. Many people say all that's going to do is make things worse. We we've talked about this for years. If the right does not try to preserve this nation, we will fall under some kind of communist bureaucratic machine state, not too dissimilar to communist China under the Democrats.

Then they say, yeah, but Donald Trump is doing all these things that like it's going to escalate everything. Oh, OK. So our options are defeat and crushing authoritarianism or civil war. I don't want either of those things. I don't. I'm hoping that Donald Trump going after the criminals averts all of it. But we got no guarantees. So all we can do is cross our fingers and hope that Donald Trump does what he can to prevent the evil from succeeding. But a lot's going to come from us, my friends. So.

I'm going to leave that one there. We got some more segments coming up for you in a little bit. Of course, we'll be live at noon. Rumble.com slash Timcast exclusive for our special new live morning show. We may even have guests zoom in. We are working on building out the show. It's very exciting, but stick around.

Bye, Casper Coffee. Join the Discord at TimCast.com. You can follow me on X and Instagram at TimCast. Stick around. We've got also more segments coming up on YouTube. Same schedule. Nothing's changing. Just more shows to come. Thanks for hanging out, and we'll see you all at noon.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Democratic Party is done for. I'd say they're dead. Now, of course, they can be risen from the grave like some kind of undead corpse. But for now, we've got two big polls, CNN and NBC News, basically saying that favorability for the Democrats is in the absolute gutter.

Now, I know many of you may be looking at the screen. Those that are watching live, you can see that the Republican Party ain't doing too much better. So for what? What is the basis by which Tim Pool is claiming Democrats are dead, but not the Republicans? Well, it's the internals. It's the it's beyond just do support the Democratic Party. In the NBC News poll, they go a bit further and ask which politician of the Democrats represents the party best. Guess what?

Guess who won? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Congratulations, Miss Ocasio-Cortez. You are, in fact, the winner.

Your percentage was 10%, by the way, which is apocalyptic. Now, we all know that, of course, the Republican Party is not viewed too much better with a seven point advantage, according to to CNN. However, Donald Trump's support is within the margin of error in aggregate. And 36 percent of people in the country claim to be MAGA.

support for Donald Trump among the party is pretty high. And for many people who don't like the Republican Party, myself included, I do like the job Trump is doing. I don't like the job the Republican Party is doing because I got to sit here at the same time I'm watching Donald Trump say, you know, we're going to get the job done. We shut down the border. We secured the border. We dealt the immigration crisis. We're going to bring on the tariffs to bring back our manufacturing. I'm going, yes, yes, please. More and more. You get the likes of

Lindsey Graham and Dan Crenshaw and Mitch McConnell, et cetera, et cetera. I'm not here to gripe on these individual politicians just right now, but to make the point Democrats may be looking at a party and saying, I largely don't like what any of these people represent, but they have no leadership. And that is the true demise of the Democratic Party. How do they pull it back? Gavin Newsom tried doing this podcast with Charlie Kirk. And what happened?

Look at the polls on this one. It's amazing. Republicans largely view it as fake and manufactured and Democrats think he's a bigot. There's no path forward. If you're a Democrat, you try to go moderate. You fall right off. Now, if you are pro-America and this means you might actually be in favor of funding Ukraine, you'd still find arguments and support or opposition. You might be on the right and say, maybe we should provide Ukraine with some assistance. Maybe we should support Israel. You're going to get an argument.

But you can still find support in Donald Trump. And I know a lot of people are going to argue that and be like, no way, America first. Yeah, well, how about this? Donald Trump is pledging weapons and resources to Ukraine and Israel right now, and he's still enjoying large support. Why? Leadership does not mean you always do exactly what the mob with pitchforks and torches want you to do. It means that even though I completely disagree with Donald Trump on the issue of TikTok, I still support his efforts largely because it is a massive net positive.

So there's basically the argument. But how about this? How about I show you everything? Because it is a it is calamitous, as it were. But you're the best part about all of this is, my friends, is the I told you so of all of it that for for many of us.

We were talking to family members, to friends, and we kept telling them the Democratic Party represents nothing. We kept saying things like they're going after Trump for the sake of going after Trump. And they didn't believe us. They said Trump is a tyrant. Trump doesn't have the authority to do this, that or otherwise. They get mad at Donald Trump and his administration for doing things that are comparable to what the Joe Biden administration did, but they never cared about. Let me give you a few examples before we dive in, but tell you the point of why I'm getting into this.

When polled, what should Democrats be doing? What do you think the number one issue is opposing Trump? I kid you not. It's a party with no support because it exists solely in opposition to the other party. They have no ideals. They have no mission. They have no goals. It is not unified. It is a hodgepodge of people who simply say, I hate. But let me give some examples. Joe Biden's president egg prices through the roof.

Democrats don't care. Donald Trump becomes president. Egg prices are the biggest issue with rumors that Democrats wanted to wave egg cartons in the air at Donald Trump during his State of the Union. Not so State of the Union. Egg prices have now come down. Are they coming out here and congratulating the president? Of course they aren't. And my favorite.

Donald Trump sells Teslas at the White House. He says they're going after Elon. You can't. They're saying, you know, they're going to they're going to vandalize the vehicles and not to buy the car. So I'm telling you to buy him. And all of these Democrats come out saying outright Trump's a used car salesman. Now, what has become of our White House? Forgetting that Joe Biden promoted the hybrid Jeeps all the same. And I didn't care that Joe Biden did that.

literally never complained about it. I don't care that Donald Trump is promoting Tesla's. Let me tell you, my friends, Donald Trump has done things I'm critical of. Joe Biden brought leftist influences to the White House. Now, aside from that thing where, you know, you had the people that were getting naked whenever he brought like prominent liberal personalities. I didn't come out and say, I can't believe what has happened to this country. Donald Trump brings prominent influences. I also similarly do not care. It's PR. I get it.

But on the other side, prominent, prominent. Let me tell you the distinction here.

I don't want violence. Democrats do. They'll come out and say, that's a straw man, Tim. That's not the case. Yeah, Bill Burr is not a random run-of-the-mill nobody. He is a prominent liberal personality comedian, not super political, but he is. He's advocated for death, for the murder of individuals, of billionaires. He has yelled, free Luigi on more than one occasion, advocating for an alleged murderer of a wealthy individual. And I can sit here and talk to you about the middle class, the working class getting screwed over all day and night, but I don't want the violence.

Kamala Harris directly solicited funds for violent rioters. They then come out and say, yeah, well, Trump pardoned the J6 writers indeed after they served prison terms for three or four years, about three years. These people actually know is it is it for many of them? Some of them, it was actually four years.

So we're talking about Trump pardoning people for a riot after they had served years of punishment and other people with misdemeanor trespass who got their sentence pardoned. I think that's reasonable. And I have long called for the writers to go to jail. We are not the same at the mainstream level. They have advocated for violence and they got away with it. So I will say this as we dive into the news today, my friends.

The Democratic Party is a party of chaos that seeks only to be the opposition to what the rest of us are trying to accomplish in securing this country and making it better. So let's talk about it. We got the story first from Mediaite, my friends, lowest ever recorded CNN drops staggering poll showing brutality of Democrat disapproval ratings. Now.

For all of you that are watching on YouTube, this is the morning shows last week on YouTube. That means we will be Rumble exclusive for the morning show at noon starting next week.

That being said, let's start with the story from Mediaite first. Lowest ever recorded CNN drops staggering poll showing brutal reality of Democrat disapproval ratings.

CNN's Manu Raju shared a poll on Sunday's Inside Politics. He said shows the brutal reality of how negatively Americans view Democrats with the favorable unfavorable rating at its lowest point since the network began tracking this metric some 30 years ago. Wow.

Raju opened Sunday's show with a full breakdown of a CNN SSRS survey reporting that found only 29 percent of those polled viewed Democrats in a favorable light. Fifty four percent of those surveyed told CNN they viewed the Democratic Party unfavorably, unfavorably, something Raju called staggering.

Well, Democrats found themselves historically upside down in the survey. The Republican Party fared better, but not by much, with 36 percent favorable and 48 percent saying they view the party unfavorably. Americans favorable views, the Democratic Party brand of the Democratic Party's brand are at a record low, just 29 percent.

It is the lowest ever recorded for Democrats in CNN polling going back some 30 years. Yikes. But let me give you the nuance here, because I know a lot of people are going to come out right and say this proves the Democrats have been wrong and they're losers. I mean, yes, kind of, but not completely in the way you hope. Now, for me, as somebody who supported Democrats in 2020, namely Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard, Yang was a disappointment. Tulsi's great.

I am not looking at a poll that says for someone like me, Tim Pool, the party has gone astray. I don't think that's what the poll says. I think it shows that to a certain degree. I think it's largely showing that of the psychotic individuals who remain as party loyalists, they are upset. The party is not doing more to obstruct Trump. What are they really mad about? Take a look at Stephen Colbert.

Colbert, after the Trump state of the not so state of the union state of the union, Colbert held up one of those little signs saying, try doing something. The real outrage of the Democratic Party, while it does, it does include people who think the party's gone nuts. Don't get me wrong. A large component is that most of the party is nuts and they're angry. They're not being more nuts. CNN poll Democratic Party's favorability drops to a record low. But there's some other data here that I want to show.

Actually, I think I have the hard poll pulled up over here. And this is this this this image right now you're looking at the the number one individual representing the values of the party is AOC. But there's a lot more than just Democratic favorability. They say with many in the party saying publicly that their leaders should do more to stand up to Trump. Democrats and Democrat aligned independents say 57 to 42 that Democrats should mainly work to stop the Republican agenda.

rather than working with the GOP majority to get some Democratic ideas into legislation. And this is the point. Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents, 42% of the independents in 57, or I'm sorry, I'm sorry, between the two groups, 57 say, just stop Trump. Don't know what it is. Don't care what it is. We just plum do not like Donald Trump.

Now, let's take a look at how Trump is doing over NBC's poll. They say Trump faces early challenges on the economy as United GOP backs big change. But I'm going to scroll way down for you before we get all that data, because NBC News has additional proof. A record low share of voters view the Democratic Party positively. Take a look at this.

Fifty five percent, according to NBC News, view the Democratic Party negatively. Only 27 percent, according to NBC, say they view the party positively. And that is an inversion, because if you go back quite a ways, certainly, you know, we can take a look at the Democratic Party positive views, 40 percent. So when we look at the Republicans at 36, we're like, oh, that's bad. Actually, that's only a little bad because party approval is usually below 50 percent.

That's inverted. The Democrats have gone plum nuts. Now, here's the good news for Trump, right? Because this is why I said this is an issue for the Democrats, not an issue for Trump. While Trump's approval rating is kind of the country still feels like we're on the right track. And that's pretty crazy, because right now, the right track, wrong track polling is the best it has been in 20 years. To me, that's incredible. NBC News reports.

Voters are starting 2025 sour on the state of the economy and President Trump's handling of it so far, even as his election to a second term sparked an upswing in positive feelings about the direction of the nation, according to a national NBC News poll. Buoyed by jubilant and unified Republicans who are standing in lockstep with Trump and its expansive agenda. I got to pause there. You mean we like what Trump is doing? We voted for it and we support the president.

Shocking, I suppose. That's I love this is the position that they're deciding to roll with. They say, meanwhile, driven in part by a pessimistic shift among Democrats since Trump's election, just 18 percent of the voters rate the economy as excellent or good, not as low as the poorest economic marks during the Biden admin, according to CNBC polling from 2022. OK, let's take a look at the polling right now.

Forty seven percent approval, 51 percent disapproval. I can already hear all the liberals screaming, saying, aha, Trump's disapproval. You take a look at Trump's approval rating from his first term and it was worse. It was about 40 percent. This is this is a market improvement. And my friends, it is almost within the margin of error for NBC News. But I'll take it. I'll take it.

For the purpose of citing NBC News, if we do want to play this game of let's take this one poll for what it is, if we want to argue that Democrats suck, then we're going to take with it that Donald Trump has majority disapproval. And I'm fine with that because Trump's a polarizing figure.

But to be fair, we have two polls, CNN and NBC saying Democrats ain't doing so bad. And I always want to make sure I pull up the aggregate, which does have Trump down 0.4 points in the spread. This is aggregate. You can see NBC News has him down by four. You've got Rasmussen with him up to Reuters. Ipsos has Trump down eight points. You go minus 10. And then I just got to tell you, my friends, RMG Research has Trump up 10 points one week ago.

So here's what I really have to say about all of this. And I'm going to say this. This is true of the Democratic Party polling and what we're citing. I think to be fair, I need to stress nobody has any idea what's going on. The narrative machine is completely destroyed and everyone's trying to argue who has the real finger on the pulse. I'll tell you what I think. I think everybody's faking it.

I think there's only a small handful of actual producers and channels that are not flubbing their numbers. And I judge this based on interaction. And how do you I don't know. There's a lot of metrics in here. Sellability. There's a handful of podcasters who really go the full distance. And you can tell because there's something else going on behind them in terms of growth, infrastructure, support, appearances, etc.,

But I genuinely believe across the board and on all sides, people are faking their numbers. I really do think so. For a while, we were getting and to how are they doing it? I don't know. I don't know. But let me tell you, for a while, we were getting these podcast numbers and famously podcasts never really gave up their their their ratings.

I've had no problem saying over and over and over again that Timcast IRL does about 100,000 downloads per episode within like 24 hours. And then it can drop seasonally, but that's the average. So in like the warmer months, like May, it might go down to like 80,000. And then winter, it's like 100, 120 or whatever. I've never had any problem saying that. I mean, we sell against it, right? But everybody was claiming they were getting millions and millions and millions. And then

Uh-oh, a new analytics company drops showing the actual numbers and they're like a quarter of what was actually claimed. Everybody wanted to say they were the biggest and the best. Now, I'm bringing this up not to rag on the podcast industry or whatever, to make the point. When you see these polls, when you see the corporate press, they want to claim to be the authority. I'll tell you why. Why is it that every time Bill Maher

Everybody's got to get got to get a segment up about it. Why is it that people care about what Don Lemon has to say? I mean, to be fair, I recorded a segment about Bill Maher and Don Lemon for today. It's because they're both on TV and they present themselves as some kind of authority, despite the fact we know nobody really watches those shows. I'm not trying to be a dick to Bill Maher. OK, I've got my criticisms of him. But relative to the space, they're not particularly big shows. But these companies know.

You've got to create a sense of authority so you can be in the news cycle, so you can promote your product and you can sell. They want to be premium associations. They want to be premium like for brands. So when they go to a brand, they say, hey, look, everybody knows this person is big. That's the game they're playing.

So anyway, I digress. My ultimate point is everybody's trying to claim they know for sure. And as much as I'm basically sprinkling this over my own assessment, I don't know what is true and what is not, because I'm going to say it again. How could the spread be so psychotic? How could Quipiniac for the same period as RMG have an inversion?

Quinnipiac in the polls say Trump is down 11. RMG says Trump is up 10. It's a difference of three days. Quinnipiac was the 6th to the 10th and RMG was the 6th to the 13th. Yet in those three days, Trump's approval. No, none of these people have any idea what's going on. And that's why for the most part, I say this. We're going to go through the polls. I'll show you fine. I think we agree based on our own personal experiences about Trump.

I'll say it again. Tulsi, Trump, RFK Jr., Elon, all former Democrats joining the Republican Party and joining Trump. The Democratic Party ain't doing too well. At the same time, take a look at public sentiment when you watch shows like this or Crowder or formerly Bongino, who's now in the FBI. Congratulations, good sir. The Republicans get criticism. The Republican Party is viewed as feckless when the Democrats. Let's do this.

Mike Johnson, OK, is presiding over the censure of Al Green, who wiggled his cane at Donald Trump during the not so state of the union. They vote in Congress to censure him instead of presenting for censure. Democrats flood the well and sing songs. And what did Mike Johnson do? Adjourned. So instead of censuring the guy, he just leaves.

See, what I would like to see not too dissimilar to what Democrats want is action. The Democrats want obstruction of Trump. I want enforcement of law. They arrested how many J6ers for meandering through a building? Oh, Democrats are going to scream. The rioters fought cops. I ain't talking about the rioters. They should have been arrested. They should have been charged. They did. They went to prison for years and they should have been released. And finally, they were. You go to prison when you hit a cop. Ain't nobody disagrees, right? Well, I guess Democrats don't.

But for the people who showed up after the riots and the doors were open, why were they getting these misdemeanor charges being hunted down? When it came to the Democrats who obstructed an official proceeding, Mike Johnson did nothing. That just pisses me off. That's just me, though. Let's let's let's read more. We'll pull up some more polls. But my friends, make sure you smash that like button. Share the show. This is the new Rumble lineup.

And we've been they've been amazing to start. Shout outs to everybody on the Rumble lineup so far. It's been a big, big show. Here we go. They say Trump's expanded base and key issues.

Trump's job approval rating, 47 percent and favor and personal favorable rating, 46, along with the 44 who believe the country's on the right track are all time highs in NBC News polling during this political career. I want to stress this. This is the point I was making. As they say, the Republicans aren't so favorable either. Donald Trump is experiencing, even though he's underwater, I'll give it to him to NBC News. All time highs. First political career. I've been saying it.

They are also far below where previous presidents stood during the honeymoon period. Yeah, we get it. We are not in a typical political time. OK, this is some kind of administrative civil war, whatever you want to call it. They say slightly more disapprove of Trump's job performance, 51 percent, and view him personally negatively and 49 percent and 54 percent see the country as on the wrong track. Indeed. Take a look at this. Do you think things in the nation are generally headed in the right direction? Now, here's what I care about.

Among independents in November, 19 percent said were right direction today. Twenty six percent. That's not bad. It's only been a couple of months and already six percent of independents have started to shift their views among Republicans. Five percent and now 83 percent. We get it, guys. You're partisans. OK.

To be fair, though, Trump shut down the border and the illegal immigration. And that was a huge issue. What I'm really loving is that all of these Democrats over the weekend, they're posting this poll where they say immigration has dropped from the number two to number four most pressing issue. And it's like, well, right, because Trump solved it. You know who was I think it was Sean Davis. He said my broken ankle upon healing went from being my most pressing issue to an issue I didn't care all that much about because it was healed.

Exactly. Among Democrats in November, only 53 percent said we were headed in the right direction. Now only 6 percent do. Why? Because they want Joe Biden to do these things. They want they wanted Joe Biden to be AOC. Well, unfortunately, you don't get it. You don't get it. Among independents, 30 percent of 30 percent approve and 67 disapprove of Trump's performance in office.

A large gender gap still persists with men approving of Trump's job performance 55 to 43, while women split the other way 40 to 58. Now, why is that? Honestly, why is that? I'm going to give my assessment. I think it's because men are disagreeable and women are agreeable. I think men look at Trump as a guy who's disagreeable. And you say,

I'll tell you how I see it. Man, I really don't like that he's going to reopen up funding for Ukraine and do this. You know, I want the ceasefire. We'll see what happens. I'm largely supportive of his efforts so far. The Tic Tac thing is really bad, but I'm going to let him lead. I'm going to let him lead. I think among women, they're more agreeable. So instead of trying to adhere to what what personally think may be good, they're more concerned about what appears to be good socially. I believe the moment the narrative machine is completely purged and collapsed, it's

Women are going to be totally on board with Trump, totally on board because but we'll see. We'll see. That's if the narrative machine collapses, because I've been warning everybody. The machine is now focused on launching podcasts and promoting them. What do you got? You got Gavin Newsom. You got Michelle Obama. It is only a matter of time before they put 20 million dollars plus per year per podcaster and and promote them into oblivion.

What you need to or I shouldn't say into oblivion, but into the atmosphere. Right. Everybody can see their faces. That's why I keep talking about ubiquity, cultural ubiquity. The reason why CNN wanted to be in airports, the reason why CNN wanted to put billboards up all over the country. They it's not so much about making you watch, but it's about making sure that even the people who don't watch know exactly what is being talked about. That are I should say that people who don't watch know who is doing the talking. That's what I mean to say.

Let's let's grab some more here. Do you approve or disapprove of Trump's handling of border security? Fifty five percent said yes. Foreign policy. Forty five. So fifty three percent says disapprove the economy. Fifty four disapprove inflation and the cost of living disapprove. Fifty five percent. The war between Russia and Ukraine. Fifty five disapprove. You know, I'm going to say it, my friends.

I don't trust any individual necessarily, but I will give you my honest assessment. I do believe that you will see the majority of Americans are not going to like what Donald Trump is doing. I think that's a fair assessment. I also think they're inundated with falsehoods and lies coming from the machine, the corporate press, which targets your average person who does not pay attention. So what do I always say? I ask you all.

to be active participants in the news and not just passive observers. That way we can reach these people who, and I don't blame them for it, are more interested in watching the game. I don't disparage that at all. I love watching UFC, right? I'd much rather be playing video games than having to deal with the minutiae of polling and economics.

But the reality is, if you don't pay attention, it'll be it'll fall apart. And for the longest time, this country was not paying attention. We largely just said, don't know, don't care. Do your thing. I'll vote for you and walk away. And what do we get? USAID, mass government bloat, waste, fraud, abuse, spending on these ridiculous NGOs. Eventually, the system came to a head, began to buckle. And we realized we really do got to get involved. And what happened? We won. Now, I will say this.

I don't really care about these individual polls. Like I often say, aggregate matters more to me. And the aggregate polling shows that no one has any idea what's actually going on, which is pretty crazy. But what matters more than a poll is an election. And Donald Trump won the popular vote. He won every swing state. And until we get to the midterms, this is a lot of noise. Don't get me wrong. I will gloat when two mainstream media polls come out and insult the Democrats.

Would you say the current state of the economy is excellent or good? Democrats before the election, 52 percent said it was good and now only 11. Independents had 19 and today only eight Republicans inverted. Five percent said it was good. And now you have 26 percent saying it is good. Is Trump bringing change on key issues? America's handling of the border security and immigration right kind of change. Now, this is interesting.

We are registering the highest right track, wrong track. So the largest percentage of people believe the country's on the right track in 20 years. That's amazing. And that's under Trump. They may not like everything he's doing, but strangely, they're still saying he's going in the right direction. That's funny to me. Federal spending, right kind of change. Look at this.

Federal spending in the size of the federal government. So as Doge is ripping everything to shreds, 47 percent, the plurality say it's the right move. This is the important thing to understand. When they say they don't approve of what Trump is doing, that's because you have not sure, not bringing change and the wrong kind of change. But the reality is the plurality support this. Look at this. America's handling of the war between Israel, Hamas and Gaza. Plurality supports right kind of change.

America's handling of the war between Russia and Ukraine, 41 percent. Once again, a plurality trade and tariffs of the countries. Once again, a plurality inflation, the cost of living. To be fair, every single issue has a plurality of people saying this is the right direction for this country. Thank you, NBC News. Doge and Musk as key flashpoints. The question was, which best describes what you think about Elon Musk, Doge and their efforts to reduce spending and the size of the federal government?

Thirty three percent said it should continue as much as much more needs to be done. Thirty three percent said it is reckless and should stop now before more damage is done. Twenty eight percent said it is needed, but should slow down to assess the impact. And only four percent said there is no need to cut the size of the federal government. Somebody put it this way. Doge support wins. Sixty one percent.

Thank you, Nevin. I stay said to some degree. It's a good thing. Either it should slow down or it should do more. More people want to do more, but I'll take it. And then we get back to where we were. The Democrats, only 27 percent of registered voters view the party positively. That includes just 59 percent of self-identified identified Democrats. Well, my friends, you reap what you sow.

This is the game the Democrats wanted to play. They wanted to embrace all of these issues, 80-20 issues. They wanted men and women's sports. They wanted to sterilize kids. They wanted to bring back illegal immigrants. Donald Trump, over the weekend, he's deporting Trendy Aragua. And the Democrats demanded he turn the planes around and bring them back.

But foreign policy, deportations, invasions, wartime, et cetera, is going to be at the chief, the commander in chief's discretion. So Democrats, what is their argument for wanting them to bring these people back into this country? Sorry, look, man, on a constitutional grounds, I might argue I want hearings. I want I want to see that when Trump deports these people, they say, here's the list of the people deported. And then we can say, yeah, those guys are criminals. They're not citizens.

That's that's what Trump should do. Democrats are trying to bring him back. I don't know, man. You got no real argument there. So the Democrats are going around saying vote for us and we'll bring violent criminals into the country. Open up the borders, flood your communities. They're going to people are going to be like, why? Because that's what we stand for. You know what I really love? What Democrats largely want. Democrats want their party to oppose Trump.

What the Democrats end up doing is instead of saying we're going to stop Donald Trump, which is still a stupid position, they're like, we're going to do the opposite. OK, listen, stopping Donald Trump does not mean bringing the illegal criminal aliens back into the country. It doesn't mean stopping the things that he's doing that are popular. OK, so.

But I got to be honest, if the Democrats really are in a bland, no matter what Trump does, it's a bad thing position, then the only thing they can do is insane things like try to bring Trendy Aragua into the country. OK, well, good luck winning the midterms, I guess. Let me tell you where we are. Ryan James Gerduski pulling from the NBC News poll. 36 percent of Americans say they consider themselves part of the MAGA movement, the highest number ever recorded.

Here, here. Real numbers, my friends. Real numbers. And let's take a look at this one. I love this one. This is my favorite portion from the poll. Ocasio-Cortez leads poll of Democrats on which leader best reflects the party's core values. Okay. AOC ain't going to be winning any presidencies anytime soon. The Democratic Party is done for. That's my point. That's my point. I'll stand by it. I'll tell you why. This is CNN polling. Question 29.

Thinking about Democratic leaders today, which one person best reflects the core values of the Democratic Party? AOC with 10 percent. Well, I'd like to give Ocasio-Cortez a standing ovation on this one. You have tremendous support in the Democratic Party. Thank you very much. Guess who came in second place? Kamala Harris. Is this what is this it? Twenty twenty eight.

Harris, Ocasio-Cortez, or I guess technically it's Ocasio-Cortez, Harris. Wow. They might get five votes. I'm kidding. They'll get a couple million. But can you imagine that ticket? There's no way they could possibly win. Here's a question I have for you. Because I mentioned that Cassie Hunt asked this on CNN of Tim Walz. Who is the leader of the Democratic Party? Right now, honest question. Who is the leader of the Democratic Party? Do you know? Tim Walz responded, the American voter.

And Cassie Hunt made this face like, what? Is that a joke? No, like who's in charge? I guess it's AOC because like she's polling at the highest. Let's run the list, though. In third place, Bernie Sanders, followed by Hakeem Jeffries. Look where Barack Obama is. That's crazy. Jasmine Crockett. Bravo on your sixth place with four percent. Is that four percent?

Gavin Newsom, Nancy Pelosi, Alyssa Slotkin. It's noise. To be fair, the only names that really matter are AOC, Kamala, Bernie, and Hakeem Jeffries. Obama's hitting, what, 4%? Meaningless. Hakeem Jeffries barely qualifies at 6%, but at least he's in office. And then we get this, my favorite.

Guess who beats Obama, Jasmine Crockett, Gavin Newsom, Nancy Pelosi, Alyssa Slotkin, Chuck Schumer, Tim Walz, Andy Beshear, Cory Booker, Al Green, Chris Murphy, Pete Buttigieg, Gretchen Whitmer, Josh Shapiro, Elizabeth Warren, Ken Martin, Joe Biden, Adam Schiff, Amy Klobuchar, Jamie Raskin, Hillary Clinton, John Fetterman. Guess who beats it? None. None. None beats all of those names I just listed. That's incredible. You also then have other responses at 5%. But considering that could be just a random spattering of names, who knows?

So they have other responses, no names included. Whatever that means. Oh, wait. Wow. Okay, hold on. Other names wins against all those people at 5%. None of them beats them all at 5%. And other responses, no names included. What could that possibly mean? Honest question, guys. Comments right now. Other responses with no names included. That means someone said...

Thinking about Democratic leaders today, which one person best reflects the core values of the Democratic Party? What could you say in response to that question that does not include the name of an individual? I'd imagine like Deez Nuts, maybe, because you can say none of them. Here you go. All of them. Too many to name got one percent. I think no names included must mean like disparaging nonsense comments like a ham sandwich. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. Further trends. The next page.

Compare this to 2017. Incredible. Obama with 18%. I'm telling you, my friends, this is why I'm saying the Democratic Party is done. Because Barack Obama had 18%. 18% in 2017. Yo, it's been eight years. It's been seven and a half years. And now there's nobody. Hillary Clinton. Listen, AOC is polling as well as Hillary Clinton did. Yikes.

Other and no other was only six percent. It is remarkable to see this is where we have ended up. Now we got this from Common Dreams calls for AOC to primary Schumer mounts after gutless surrender. Schumer should step down from the Democratic leadership or be forced out and let someone actually willing to fight Trump and Musk take his place. All right. I'm going to say it. I think AOC and Harris are the front runners for twenty twenty eight.

Not kidding. I imagine AOC might want to run for the Senate first, but she is probably the most famous Democrat right now. But for real, this is where we're going. I don't see how Republicans lose. You know, Bill Maher made the comment that Democrats, he doesn't see a Democrat winning ever again, like a Democrat president. The reason why it's fascinating is because for a while we were concerned that if the Democrats were to win and shut down Trump,

the right was routed and that Democrats would become a single party, a single state party and just run everything with Republicans being the Washington generals. I didn't expect to go the other way. The Democrats have no leadership. Their issues make no sense. They're on the unpopular side of most of the issues. Donald Trump's a leader. I may not like him. He may not have most of the country, but take a look at party favorability. Most people don't like either party. So Trump's

Actually doing pretty well. But let me tell you the real reflection here. And I hope everybody gets this. I'm going to do something right here. I'm going to pull up some YouTube. Let me see if this is, what is it, trending? Let's take a look at the old trending tab on YouTube. And I'm going to tell you why Donald Trump's approval rating ain't so high, but why it's still massive. So 18 hours ago, we've got soccer. I'm sorry, football for my international viewers with 730,000 views. Barcelona 3.4, to be expected.

What's this? Sean of the Mom got 322. Sports. That's pretty big. 8.5 million. Not bad. Sports again. Here's Mark Rober with 10 million. That guy always has really big ones. Here's a Minecraft video with 400. Tornado with 358. The reason why I'm bringing this up is that when you take a look at some of these videos that are getting millions and millions of views...

Here's Emma Chamberlain. I don't know who she is. 390,000 views. You've got WTA Sports, 367. We tried every Viral Celebrity product, 132. There's a couple things I'm pointing out and a couple ways to view this. YouTube ain't the end-all be-all. We know it. Timcast IRL gets more viewership than many of those videos all the time.

So the question then becomes, and look, I know I can speak to other channels if I knew their viewership. I don't really pay attention to all that much. Maybe, you know, I don't know whoever's on YouTube. What I'm saying is YouTube intentionally does not put our show, Timcast IRL, on the trending list despite the fact that we routinely get way higher numbers instantly, overnight, much faster than all the rest.

Well, the argument on the surface is, well, it's because you're not trending if you're always hitting those numbers. Otherwise, everybody else would be trending, right? My point is this. YouTube is intentionally taking off what is consistently popular and putting up things they choose. Sports, of course, is always going to be massively popular, getting tens of millions of views. I ain't surprised about that, nor disparaging sports. What I'm saying is the narrative machine is over. It's gone. There is no unified broadcast tower.

We are no longer in the era, and this has been the case for some time, and I predicted this a long time ago. I was at the National Association of Broadcasters in the Netherlands. It's 10 years ago. Actually, it's 13 years ago. I told these guys, fame is over as we know it. Right now, you still have some semblance of fame. You have personalities with millions of followers. They put out a video. They get a million views instantly overnight. That's going to go away because of the decentralization of the space that we're currently witnessing. This means that Donald Trump's numbers are

Actually pretty incredible. Let's go back in time. Let's take a look at the ratings of the big networks 20, 30 years ago. I mean, shows were getting 40 million views. There's estimates in Nielsen. But the issue was there was nothing else to watch. Man, I remember hanging out with the homies, sitting on the couch. And this is a shout out to Brandon, who works here now. And we were hanging out. This is back when we're 18.

And we were watching, I think we were watching real time with Bill Maher. And they had our buddy, Roger had TiVo. And I said, you know, in the future, we're going to have the Simpsons channel. Like you're just going to, because we were already looking at what TiVo was doing.

You know, these channels and one of them, I can't remember what channel was like nothing but fishing. And I was like, sooner or later, it's going to be a channel that just says The Simpsons because you're like, we wanted to watch one show. We don't care about anything else. Here we are. You open up your Hulu, Disney Plus, whatever, and the show has its own page and you just watch it. Not to mention MTV is literally just the ridiculousness channel. My point is ultimately this with an infinite, near infinite number of shows to watch, you

Perspective and morals and worldviews and other proclivities are decentralizing. And so not everybody shares their worldview the way they used to. You go back in the day, everybody in the country watched the same news channel. That means the next day at work, they all were talking about the same thing.

millions of people across the country showed up to work in the office, no remote work, watered the water cooler and said, did you hear about Nixon? Sure did. Can you believe it? Drink the water and carry on with your day. Today, you go to work and you go, hey, did you hear about Trump? Which story? The one about how he's refusing to comply with a constitutional directive from a judge and he's violating the law. And then you go, that's not true. What I Donald Trump doesn't have to. And here we are.

Decentralization of the narrative and mass communications has changed the game. I don't see a scenario where the Democrats are going to be able to muster anything up without real leadership. But if they choose to be an opposition party and that's all they're going to be, then no one will ever agree. And how can they possibly ever win? Or better yet, I'll put it this way. The scenario in which I envision Democrats actually winning is when they unite against Donald Trump.

So if enough people let's let's say you've got your core base of twenty nine percent of Democrats that like what the Democrats are doing. If enough people are genuinely disaffected with Donald Trump's job and they just say, I don't want to vote for this man, let's try the Democrat. Then you end up with this hodgepodge of a Democratic Party that is apathy, hope for something different. And we hate Donald Trump as the core element.

What happens when that party wins power? They do nothing. And that's Joe Biden. Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump in 2020 off of the we just plum hate Trump. But they didn't offer up anything substantive. So what did they do in terms of any kind of real leadership? Nothing.

Afghanistan was bedlam. They gave up Bagram Air Force Base. We got more troops in the Middle East. We got war in Ukraine. The border exploded. The economy took a tank because they had nothing. Yo, let me put it this way. Angry, cursing, swearing, fat, stinky guy says, I'm going to cook dinner for your family and I'm going to swear the whole time I'm doing it. And I am going to make the most delicious beef bourguignon. It will be the best you've ever had. And then your family's going to vote.

Another guy walks in and says, I'll tell you what, vote for me to cook dinner and I won't do what he's doing. What happens? OK, people get mad at the angry guy who's cussing, but, you know, he makes a good stroganoff. I'm sorry, a bourguignon. What I say stroganoff for he's making both. What happens? The guy you chose to be to cook your dinner never had a plan. So this is where we're currently at. And it's why I said the Democratic Party is done. But hey, my friends.

We got about 15 more minutes and I got a really great example. Some other examples for you. The absurdity and insanity of the Democratic Party. Kevin Bass, Ph.D., M.S. He says, I was a lifelong Democrat. I thought most conservatives were ignorant or evil or lying.

I believe almost everything written in The New York Times, The New Republic and The Atlantic. I was horrified when conservatives criticized the authorities. Every criticism I saw, I thought all of it was motivated by animus, resentment, self-interest, ignorance. Whatever truth there might have been in the criticism, I saw as a mere half-truth, an exploitation of this or that cherry-picked fact being weaponized.

Why did I see it in terms of weaponization? Because I was biased. I saw liberal establishment institutions and figures as fundamentally good. So all criticism of them was automatically interpreted as being in bad faith. Didn't the critics know that these institutions or figures were fundamentally good? If they didn't, they were ignorant. If they did, they were evil. It was simple. This meant that any legitimate criticisms would be dismissed as if bouncing off of an impenetrable bulletproof shield.

This all changed once I started writing about the pandemic. Soon people started talking about me the way I once thought about conservatives. This led to a complete identity collapse as I came to understand that my old worldview was hateful and ignorant, that I hadn't understood what I had been judging. Indeed, my friends, he goes on to mention the hearing that led to his dismissal from medical school, but he exemplifies what many people saw and felt. For me, it was pretty easy. After I left Fusion, uh,

I was working independently. Donald Trump goes on at a rally and he says, did you see what happened last night in Sweden? I knew what he meant. It was a Fox News report last night about Sweden. Nothing happened in Sweden, but he misspoke. It was whatever. I understood the idea that he was conveying. Democrats were apoplectic and they said nothing happened in Sweden. Trump's a liar.

So Paul Joseph Watson said, I challenge any journalist to spend the night in Malmö, Sweden, and I'll pay for it. And I chuckled and I DM them and I said, I'll do it. And, you know, Paul says, look, I was taking the piss. But tell you what, like you going? And I said, I got to go fund me set up right now. We're going to go and do this video series in Sweden called Last Night in Sweden. Many of you know the story. For those that don't, I was immediately hit up by former colleagues at Vice.com telling me not to do it.

People I had traveled the world with, people who had done the exact same thing I was about to do. One guy hits me up and he says, don't go. Trump's a liar. And I said, I agree. Trump is a liar. So I'm going to prove him wrong. And they said, no, don't do it. I got another DM from another vice person. You shouldn't do this. Don't go to Sweden. And I'm like, well, hold on. Don't we all agree Trump's a liar? So I'm going to go prove him wrong. They all told me not to go. That was weird. So I went. What did I find? Everybody was a little bit wrong.

It wasn't the crime was was up quite a bit, but relative to many other parts of the world, still not a lot of crime. And then I went to Rinkeby and I saw the enclaves they had built and we were told by the police to leave and they'd follow us out to our cars. And the media lied about everything we did. First, Huffington Post wrote, Tim Pool finds largely nothing confirming what everyone largely believed, blah, blah, blah. And I said, yeah, that's accurate. Actually, it was a really great piece. Then I went to Rinkeby and when they're

They were people yelling at us and the cops said, you need to get out of here now. They might start throwing stones. As soon as that happened and I filmed it all, they instantly started claiming that I was far right, that I was a conspiracy theorist, that I was lying, that I fabricated the whole thing. The funny thing was, at first, Swedish press said police didn't give pool an escort.

That was the immediate response. And then I uploaded the video right away and said, here's proof they did. I had the camera point at them as they got in their van and followed us straight to our car. They then changed the story. No, no, we were just we were just coincidence that first that I followed them. And then I responded with like, they're behind me. And they went, it was a coincidence. And I'm like, sure. The police said they would follow us to our car. And that was a coincidence, right? Indeed.

They were lying the whole time. And so what began for me is this journey of I still supported liberal policies. Tulsi Gabbard. I was like Tulsi's anti-war. That's what matters to me. Let's roll. But they lied about Donald Trump and the Republicans so many times that all I could do is say, guys, that didn't happen. That's not true. The Covington kids being a great example. I know many of you experienced the same thing. Many of you saw the exact same thing.

The Democrats were lying to us. The media was lying to us. And finally, we snapped. Now, you know, it's really remarkable. A lot of the people that finally snapped and said, I am sick of living in a false reality, found themselves religious, born again, reborn, whatever you want to call it. Shout out to Russell Brand. He goes on this journey and he finds himself a Christian. Many people sought a new reality and were given reason and debate, and they found faith along the way. It's remarkable.

that the psychotic rage of the left and the lies and manipulations have fueled what they so despised. And now, what do we get? While it's all still very decentralized and decentralizing further, the important thing to understand is this. Viewership may appear to go down across the board for many channels. You may see a new show emerge, and it gets a million views. You say, wow, it's a big show. But relative to the top shows, everything's starting to flatten out. Everybody...

Is in a race. The trend across the board is the flattening out of viewerships with some resisting and proving otherwise. We will not have fame the same way we did before. This means that we have an obligation right now to build networks so that we can link up and create spheres of influence and communal power. What does that mean? The rumble lineup. Why I'm a big fan of this. Why I said let's do this.

Steven Crowder's got mug club. Tim cast has the Tim cast members only. We, we both team up with rumble and now the Tim cast viewers can watch the, the Steven Crowder content. The Crowder viewers can watch the Tim cast content. What we are trying to do. Nay, nay. What we are doing right now with all of you watching is creating a sphere of positive influence for the morals that we believe in for a meritocratic society for duty, right?

The libertarians, they say freedom. I say duty and responsibility. And this is the sphere of influence we are building. This network of individuals, when we are all watching similar individuals, similar shows with similar ideas, it is not that we expect to create a monolith of a broadcast tower, but it's that we create a sphere of influence where the stories people know about, the things they talk about will be in a similar line, not not homogeny,

Not completely in agreement, but a general understanding of the facts. So as I mentioned, that water tower or the water cooler, sorry, as people walk in and they say, you see the news yesterday, they'll say, yep, I was watching Crowder. Other person says, I was watching the quartering. We both agree on the facts because we are watching people that actually care to deliver the facts. Our opinions may slightly differ, but it's not like you're going to come out like a Democrat arguing that a thing that did happen did not. And that's largely what they do.

This is the story I've pulled up from the New York Times. We were badly misled about the event that changed our lives. We, excuse me, everybody watching right now on Rumble, 43,000 people, none of us were misled. We knew that lab leak was a prevailing theory for a long time. Now, a lot of people think that it was an instantly bannable thing on YouTube. That's not really true. We talked about it quite a bit. But, you know, if we don't know, we don't know. And then Jon Stewart came out along with everybody else started to say, guys, I think it's pretty obvious.

So when you say we were badly misled, who's we? The New York Times audience. The rest of us who watched and cared about people who wanted to tell the truth were never misled. They just weren't. This is what I'm talking about with the network effect. Let's create a network. Let's create a prominent network of news, media, comedy, etc. Where you know you can trust the individuals. Sometimes we get things wrong. We try. We try not to.

But then the average person will vote based on what is true and how they see it instead of incorrect information. We're going to grab some Rumble rants from all of you guys and of course some super chats. But I recommend you guys join Rumble Premium. Use promo code TIM10 and become a member of the Discord server.

Go to Tim cast dot com. Join the discord server. This is 24 seven. Tens of thousands of people are talking. They're launching shows. They're working on video games. And then we're going to bring you guys to our culture war debates and we're going to put you on the show. That's right. You we already brought on Roman Nation and see NOSC from the Quiet Part podcast. We want to build new spheres of influence. Let me put it this way, my friends.

It's not just about Steven Crowder, me, the quartering, Jeremy, Bongino, whoever else. It's about you guys at home. How many of you share our ideas, share our worldviews and have ideas we've never considered? My goal, what I want to see is what happens when I'm gone? Will we plant the trees whose shade we know we shall not sit beneath? And that means we want to do the culture war show with members of our discord and our audience on stage at the table with us. Why?

Because there will come a time when I can't do this show anymore. There will come a time when Dan Bongino, as you already know, has gone to do his public duty because duty matters more. And he's passed down the show to others. So we want as many people as possible of our moral persuasion

To be the dominant voices in the conversation. That's my goal. That's why we want community events. We want physical Casper franchises so y'all can get together. We want the community discord. We want the rumble premium network and the lineup so that when people are talking about what show you watch, it's going to be within the sphere of influence where we largely agree. We have wildly different views. I know. But there is an Overton window. And what am I trying to say? That Overton window should be us.

So y'all can debate it. We can debate it. But at least we know we don't cross certain boundaries. For example, sterilizing kids shouldn't even be in public conversation. It shouldn't even be an issue. It shouldn't shouldn't be here. It's well beyond the Overton window as far as I'm concerned. We're going to pull it back. Let's see what we got. Ballistics computer says Tim needs to run his own polls. Branch out a little. You know, we did talk with the people's pundit, Rich Barris, and we probably should. We probably has a really good point.

SirChillALot says, Tim, you need your own custom emotes for premium. Congratulations on the Rumble deal. What are you most excited about for the future of the next four years? To be honest, everything I just laid out with community building. When we discussed we were launching this Rumble lineup, I was like, guys, this is going to be like one of the biggest things in media. It's happened in a long time. Rumble is going to dominate the conversation. Rumble is going to dominate the charts. Rumble is going to instantly have some of the biggest podcasts in the world overnight.

When we start treating this like a network and a sphere of influence instead of just different creators popping up here and then, you know, here and there. Very excited. Whiskey Stick says the lineup is a fat W. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I already described it. I don't want to just, you know, beat it at horse, but you get it. When we all have these different audiences that have this overlapping agreement on a lot of issues and we bring them together.

And y'all who watch, don't just tune in in the morning for Timcast. Don't just tune in for Crowder. Don't just tune in for Bongino or The Quartering or Glenn Greenwald. But when you tune in to watch this like it's a whole channel, this is what I was telling the guys at Rumble. I was like, look at Fox News. I mean, right now, Fox is enjoying massive ratings. In the key demo, Jesse Waters, he's getting 500K. He's getting 3 million in the older demo included.

This is not a channel where they say, go to Fox News. Once you pull the channel up, search for Jesse Kelly. This is a channel where I'm sorry, just Jesse Kelly, but Jesse Waters. Sorry. This is a channel where you turn it on. You get the show. And I was like, we want that sphere of influence where we can say there. And I'll tell you this, like that we agree right on these issues. But here's the best part. No one editorially controls me or Crowder or the quartering. Now, I'll tell you this, my friends.

We're about to wrap it up. I know I didn't get enough super chats in. Y'all are going to go watch Jeremy at the quartering right now because the network effect continues. And Jeremy is getting ready to go live right now. And so as he is up, we are going to hit that and send you his way. So smash that like button. Share this show right now with everyone you know.

Share the Rumble lineup. Share the morning show. Become a member of Rumble Premium. Follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast. Thank you all so much for hanging out. Let's try this. Here we go. Let's get it. It says the quartering. Trump and Putin meet. Tesla's psycho Fafo. Journal smacks Trump in the face. Give Jeremy some love. Subscribe to this channel. Subscribe to Jeremy. Thank you all so much for hanging out. And I will be back tomorrow at noon. Same time.

Raid confirmed. Mustering the raiding party, gearing up. Oh, this is how it works. Gearing up, gassing up the raid rocket, preparing for action. I don't want to shut it down just yet. I want to make sure you guys go. So it's got like a little timer. Am I supposed to be narrating this? I don't know, but I'm having fun. And the raid is beginning in three, two, one. Adios. Tim Cass has raided the quartering. Thank you guys so much for hanging out. And we'll see you all tomorrow.

A man has been awarded $50 million after he got burned by Starbucks hot tea. Basically, he ordered the hot teas, three venti. The lady working the drive-thru failed to secure the lid, according to the lawsuit. And when she handed it to him, it spilled onto his lap. And everybody knows, and everyone's got an opinion on the old McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit. But these are instances where, and for this guy particularly, $50 million, $50 million.

It fried his junk. It fried it. He had to get multiple screen skin grafts and he got nerve damage. That's how hot this was. Now, you may be saying, Tim, why are you talking about this story? Because because I am sick and tired of these companies doing this, serving boiling beverages. I know many of you. This is a somewhat silly issue, but it must be addressed. And 50 million dollars, I say, is not enough.

Now you're going to be like, bro, come on. It's like one drive-thru employee. Okay, okay, okay, hold on. There's some challenges here. You hire a minimum wage employee at your coffee shop and she drops a coffee and now you got to pay $50 million? That's crazy. Here's the best part. Dude would have settled for less if they apologized and they would not do it. Now I know why. The insurance company likely said, don't apologize.

They said, if you just admit you did wrong, Starbucks, in serving boiling beverages, then we will settle for less. He said, no.

The guy would have settled. Instead, a jury said, give him 50 million bucks. The entire time, according to the court, Starbucks was trying to avoid responsibility for their policies. I don't blame the young woman who spilled the coffee, who spilled the tea. The problem is Starbucks knows all of these companies know they are serving scalding beverages.

And I am pissed about it. This one gets my blood boiling, let me tell you. Let me give you the news first. Okay. I'll give you the news. I'm going to tell you why they should have given this guy the entire company. I'm half kidding, by the way, but $50 million don't faze me one bit. NBC News says man awarded $50 million to Starbucks hot tea causes permanent disfigurement. Michael Garcia was picking up a Postmates delivery when the drink spilled in his lap, causing third-degree burns to his penis, groin, and inner thighs.

Bro, I'm going to tell you. You give me boiling liquid and it burns my junk, I'm taking you for everything you got. A California delivery driver was awarded $50 million. Michael Garcia sued the cafe chain after a tea spilled in his lap at a drive-thru and caused permanent disfigurement to his penis.

His attorney, Nick Rowley, said in a press release that Garcia's life has been forever changed. No amount of money can undo the permanent catastrophic harm he has suffered. But this jury verdict is a critical step in holding Starbucks accountable for flagrant disregard for customer safety and failure to accept responsibility.

Starbucks said it plans to appeal, adding that it has always been committed to the highest safety standards in our stores. We sympathize with Garcia, but we disagree with the jury's decision that we were at fault for this incident and believe the damage is awarded to be excessive. No way, dude. How dare you, bro?

If this guy, if they go to appeal, I hope the appellate judge is a guy and he's going to be like sitting there and he's going to have his glasses and be like, it says here that you serve the man three boiling hot cups of tea that burned his penis off. And they're going to be like, we did, but we should have to pay. The judge is going to be like double the award. Like, bro, any guy double the award. Garcia, they say we sympathize with Garcia, but we disagree with the jury's excessive decision.

Jeez.

Video provided by Rowley's firm shows the Starbucks employees preparing the drinks and the moment the tea spills into his lap. Garcia's attorney argued in court that the employee at the window failed to properly secure the drink in the carrier. Garcia suffered third degree burns to his penis, groin and inner thigh. Rowley's firm said Garcia had two skin grafts to his penis at Grossman Burn Center and that any friction to the area causes him pain. The court case is reminiscent of the infamous McDonald's coffee lawsuit in 1992.

79-year-old Stella Liebeck suffered third-degree burns after McDonald's coffee spilled in her lap at a drive-thru in New Mexico. Liebeck's case is sometimes criticized as a frivolous lawsuit, but evidence at trial showed the McDonald's coffee was significantly hotter than other restaurants. According to the American Museum of Tort Law, at least 700 other people had been burned before McDonald's coffee, before by McDonald's coffee, yet the company hadn't changed its policy of keeping its coffee between 180 and 190 degrees.

The 79-year-old initially asked McDonald's to pay her medical bills and only filed suit if the company refused, according to the Journal of Consumer and Commercial Law. She was initially awarded $2.7 million in punitive damages, but a judge reduced the jury's verdict. Liebeck and McDonald's settled for an undisclosed amount. Let me tell you about this story, my friends.

In the McDonald's case, it often gets cited. What they don't understand is that McDonald's had been warned over and over and over again that they were injuring people because they were serving boiling liquid or scalding. It's not literally boiling. And it burned this woman, causing her to get skin, require skin grafts. It fried the skin off of her body. So when she went at 79 to the company and said, please just pay the bill, that's it. They said no.

Scumbags. I'll tell you why. They're an insurance company. Insurance companies run the world, baby. They said, don't accept responsibility and don't pay for anything. Otherwise, we have to pay for everybody. Yeah. Maybe you scumbag pieces of garbage should stop. You many times my mouth has been burned by Starbucks coffee. Harumph, I say. This is why I'm like, give him more money. This one really grinds my gears.

So a lot of people are like, Tim, but you sell cast brew coffee. Why would you go to Starbucks? Sometimes you're on the road and we're driving for a couple of hours and I want a cup of coffee. I'm not going to bring a Keurig with me in a bag of delicious cast brew coffee from cast brew dot com. Buy some today. Kidding with the sponsorship, but by all means, buy our coffee. So I got to tell you, OK, here's how it works. McDonald's argues that all these companies argue that

that the reason why they serve their coffee scalding hot is because most people, when they're buying drinks at a drive-thru, do not intend to drink them right away. And that's true. They're going to put them in the carrier, put them down in the seat, and that's it. They're going to drive to the office 15 minutes later and bring the drinks upstairs where they've cooled down a bit and are now just warm. Apparently, and I could be wrong about this, but I believe the argument is

McDonald's is basically saying we sell less coffee if it's if it's warmer, because by the time people get it's cold, nobody wants drive through coffee. So let's scald people, they said. Now, you know why Starbucks does this? Likely the same reason. Yo, it was a couple of weeks ago. We're going to D.C. I can't remember. We were in D.C. for the inauguration. We were in D.C. again for something else. And I'm like, let's stop at a Starbucks. I would like a delicious blonde roast with some heavy cream.

and they serve it. And I know it's going to be hot. So I feel the cup. I got to pop the lid off. I got to touch it, make sure it's not too hot because I grab it and I'm like, I don't think it's too hot. Let me try and just sip it lightly. Bang, burn my tongue. And then I'm pissed because now, you know, it's like when you burn your mouth. Why the are they selling me this coffee? I am so pissed off about this. Perhaps one of the stories that matters the least. Fifty million dollars, though, that guy's who I wonder how much his law firm's probably getting a third.

Starbucks gives you the coffee scalding hot. And so every single time I go to the drive-thru, I say, hey, can you put ice in it? And I say it just like that. I'll be like, I'd like a kind of get a tall blonde rose heavy cream. And can you put like, I don't know, 10 pieces of ice in it because you guys burn me every single time I buy coffee. And they're like, yeah, sure.

I'm kidding. I don't really do that. I just say, here's what I want to do. I'd like you to give me a cup with a few pieces of ice in it empty, then serve the coffee because I'm going to pour into the ice so I can drink it. This one really grinds my gears. These companies know they're injuring people. They know every day they're injuring. I'm not even joking about this. OK, this is not even meant to be silly. They know that like this lawsuit over this guy, it's three teas and it poured into his lap and it burned his junk off.

They know they're serving coffee that will injure people and people routinely get spills. How many stories have we not heard? Because with the McDonald's case, they mentioned 700 other people at the time had been burned. But the company would not change its policy. I'm sick of this. You know what, though? If they put up a warning and this is what they do. So it's funny. Everybody, everybody makes fun of everybody else says warning beverage hot. They put on the cups. Beverage may be hot.

I think they got to change this. They should have to put a warning. Here's what you can do. You can either reduce the temperature down to something that a human being won't be burned by, or you can put on it, not caution beverage hot, but warning this beverage is scalding and will injure you if you try to drink it.

The worst thing ever. It's like we're going downtown. We're going to D.C. We're going to do a show. And I'm like, let's stop and get some really good food at Barcelona and Reston. Let's stop and grab a coffee first. I take one sip. Now I can't taste anything for the rest of the day. You get me? You get me? It's Starbucks burning people.

Anyway, I'm only like half kidding. Obviously, I just don't buy Starbucks anymore. Like when I go to Starbucks now, I never go drive through. I'm like, no, no, pull inside. When you go inside, they don't give you the scalding hot. They give you kind of hot. When you go in the drive through, they make sure it's boiling figuratively. I don't know. They literally boil it. But but you know what, man? I say this guy deserves it. You tell me.

OK, look, if he burned his leg, I'd say maybe 50 million is too much. But they burned his penis off like, OK, like like not literally off, but like the skin came off his junk. Right. I think that's worth 50 million dollars. That's just me. I'm going to leave it there. Stay tuned. We got more segments coming up. Stick around and we'll see you all shortly. There are a couple of ways to interpret this story. Trump administration ignores judges order to turn deportation planes around.

You may have a story of Donald Trump being based and saying to the judge, no, you cannot tell the president and how he handles foreign policy. Thank you. Have a nice day. That's effectively the statement that they put out. Now, the story is murky. What we what we what we have here is the Trump administration was deporting alleged criminals. Trend de Aragua members, terrorist aliens. They're being called some of the worst of the worst.

They were put on planes and flown to El Salvador, where they will be held in El Salvadorian prisons. Now, what we don't know is the exact timeline of events because it all happened in the middle of the night. But a judge ordered yesterday that the planes be turned around in midair if they had already left. The argument from the right is, are you nuts?

Individuals that have already departed American territory are now over international jurisdiction are not going to be turned around because a single judge in some city ordered a plane to do it.

That's insane. And that Democrats would try to mandate this as some kind of constitutional crisis that a single judge is going to be like, I order the president to turn around a plane heading to international territory as part of foreign policy agreements is psychotic. The argument for the Democrats, they're saying, no, no, it's a different story. They want to know. And they're arguing the planes had not left yet.

The judge said, do not deport these people. And if there are any planes in the air, turn them around. Well, that was the mistake they made. But of course, if the planes had already taken off, nothing you do about it. But I'll add one more to it. I would say reasonably, let's say at midnight, a judge goes, do not deport these people. And then at 1 a.m., the plane takes off. I still argue you were too late, your honor. And I mean this with no disrespect to that judge. I'm saying

You have a massive executive mechanism and foreign treaties. In fact, one could even argue the judge's order would never, never, never under any circumstances take effect. And it's not a constitutional crisis. Donald Trump entered into a treaty with a foreign government pertaining to foreign individuals. That's it. Judge ain't going to stop that.

The president handles foreign policy. We went over this during the Biden administration. Why wasn't Texas deporting all of these illegal immigrants? Because the federal government handles foreign relations and a judge can't overturn foreign agreements. Sorry, that's the reality. But of course, we are entering some pretty interesting territory, my friends. A story from yesterday. Let's read from ABC News. Of course, before we get started, smash that like button. Comments below.

I ask each and every one of you to let me know what you think, to post your comments, and not just be a passive viewer of the news, but an active participant. You're here, man. Post that comment. Say, I think Trump is right. I think Trump is wrong. And then smash that like button. ABC News says...

President Donald Trump's administration made a calculated decision to ignore a judge's directive to turn around two flights containing hundreds of alleged Venezuelan gang members. Sources familiar with the matter told ABC News the verbal order from the chief judge of the Washington, D.C. District Court, James Boasberg, explicitly told the government to turn around any aircraft that had already departed the country if it's still in the air. Can I just pause right now?

And I want to say how psychotic it is, this idea that a single judge would instruct the president of the United States to take what is arguably foreign policy or military action. That is insane. Not so simple. Quote.

You shall inform your clients of this immediately. Any plane containing these folks that is going to take off or is in the air needs to be returned to the United States, Boasberg said during a hearing on Saturday. However, however, I'm sorry, quote, however, that's accomplished turning around the plane or not embarking anyone on the plane. That is something that you need to make sure is complied with immediately.

Finding the deportations would cause finding the deportations would cause irreparable harm. Bostberg barred the Trump finding the deportations would. Sorry, they're missing a comma. Finding that the deportations would cause irreparable harm. Bostberg barred the Trump administration from deporting, quote, all noncitizens who are subject to the A.E.A.,

for at least 14 days, imposing a temporary restraining order or TRO. During the time where the lawsuit makes its way through the courts, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is meant to keep the non-citizens in its custody. However, top lawyers and officials in the administration made the determination that since the flights were already over international waters, Boasburg's order did not apply. The administration said the planes needed to land because of operational and national security reasons, sources told ABC News. It was during the hearing that the two planes took off.

Sources said the administration wanted to get these planes in the air and over international waters prior to any ruling from the judge. However, Press Secretary Carolyn Leavitt claimed on Sunday evening the administration did not refuse to comply with a court order. She said the order was issued after these alleged gang members had already been removed from U.S. territory. We have the actual full quote. I don't know why they don't actually give it. Let me see if we can get the full statement here from Carolyn Leavitt. I think, what is it, NBC News? Do they have it? I thought CNN had it.

They say, quote, the administration did not refuse to comply with a court order. They're not giving the full quote. A single judge in a single city cannot direct the movements of an aircraft carrier full of foreign alien terrorists who are physically expelled from U.S. soil. A distinction made about the judge's written order and the fact she noted the migrants had left U.S. soil, but did not say when the timeline they arrived in El Salvador seemed significant.

Her use of the phrase aircraft carrier is confusing, however, and White House and White Houses don't have the power to decree whether court orders are lawful. They say federal courts generally have no jurisdiction over the president's conduct of foreign affairs, his authorities under the Aliens Enemies Act and his core Article two powers to remove foreign alien terrorists from U.S. soil and repel a declared invasion. Levitt said in a statement, she's not wrong if that's the game they wanted to play. It's their luck.

You don't get the Biden administration playing fast and loose. And then when Trump comes in, now you're going to cry about it. They said on Sunday, the Trump admin asked the D.C. Circuit Court for a stay on Boasberg's ruling. Administration officials contend that Boasberg lacked the jurisdiction to enter the TRO, which administration describes in a filing to the appellate court as unprecedented. Quote, this court should halt this massive, unauthorized imposition on the executive's authority to remove people,

that defendants had determined to be members of TDA, a group the president and secretary of state have found to be a threat to national security and also a terrorist organization. This court should halt this unprecedented intrusion upon the executive's authority to remove dangerous aliens who pose grave threats to the American people. We're at a DOJ attorney in an emergency motion for a stay, referring to the passengers aboard the flight, whom the administration alleges are members of the Venezuelan gang Trende Aragua.

Trump announced on Saturday that he had signed a proclamation declaring that Trende Aragua gang was conducting irregular warfare against the U.S. and therefore would deport its members under the Aliens Enemies Act of 1798. The stay argued that Trump's actions in invoking the AEA are not subject to judicial review, that there was no lawful basis for the court to enjoin the implementation of the president's proclamation. If this TRO allowed to stand, the DOJ wrote.

District courts would have license to enjoin virtually any urgent national security action upon bare receipt of a complaint. The D.C. Circuit Court ordered a response to be filed by Tuesday at 5 p.m. by the attorneys representing the plaintiffs in the underlying case. Yeah, nothing you do about this. The idea they're playing this game, even CNN. Look at this. White House denies ignoring court order.

Halting Venezuelan deportations. They're calling it a constitutional crisis moment or at the border of one, saying Trump is acting now and not waiting for the consequences. Trump is wielding huge power now, says CNN. This leaves those who might constrain him, including the courts and his political opponents, to ask questions later after his actions have wrought almost irrevocable change.

The invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to speed up deportations is a significant step as it is meant to be limited to its use in wartime. Perhaps Trump declared an invasion. You want to play these games? Welcome to the game, Democrats. They opened the box. Trump was playing softball. He's playing t-ball in his first term. And they said they wanted to play tackle football. Trump said, OK, we'll play. But I will give a shout out to the great Noam Chomsky.

The far left had been engaging in violence for some time, and Noam Chomsky said, we should not do this. For when you engage in the arena of violence, it is the most aggressive that win, and that is not us. That's what he said to the left. You see, the right, let me describe it for you in bar fight terms.

The right is the guy sitting at the bar, head down with a pint of Guinness, minding his own business, grumbling to himself. And people are doing who knows what's over there. They're annoying. They're loud. And he says nothing. And his buddy's like, man, those people sure are annoying. He goes, chill. I don't want to get into a fight, whatever. Now, you may be saying that's who the Republicans are. The guy sitting at the bar while a ruckus is going on and he's doing nothing. Indeed.

They're trashing the bar. They're causing problems. And the guy says, leave me out of it. Now, I don't completely respect that. But here's what ends up happening. They walk up and they say, hey, I'm talking to you. You got a problem? And the guy goes, I ain't got no problem. Back off. And they decide to pick a fight with the guy, the quiet guy who gets up and goes, bam, that's it. That's the trope we're dealing with. The Republicans, much to the chagrin of many of us, they were refusing to do anything about the problems that were going on.

The Democratic Party's favorability is in the gutter. It's trash. And the reason is largely this. People are fed up with all of it. And so finally now Donald Trump is the guy who was quiet and says, you want to make me fight? I'll fight you and you will lose. And now now they're crying about it. Oh, no. Donald Trump is actually going to start enforcing the law and using the powers of the executive branch in ways they never thought would be would be done. But we're always possible.

They say millions of voters sent Trump to Washington to destroy institutions that they believe do not reflect their culture, values and material interests. And polls show that among his supporters, Trump's actions are popular. His mantra is to act fast since limits on presidential power are mostly retrospective.

Meaning that Trump can get the desired results before he can be stopped. Well, I'll give Cuomo a shout out on that one. Cuomo shut down churches and everybody begged, please don't do this. And he says, I can do whatever I want by executive order. When the courts told him he couldn't, he said, OK, the churches are open. Wait, here's a new executive order doing the exact same thing. Sue that one. That's the game you wanted to play. So you want to play that game? You have just opened a box, a Pandora's box, a can of worms, not a box of worms.

Donald Trump's going to say, OK, this order has been challenged. OK, I'm going to issue a new one. Bang right now. In fact, Trump's going to have his legal team get 10 orders, all slightly different. And to say, here's an order. Then the courts are going to come out and say, we block that. Don't worry. I signed another one right afterwards, which is slightly different, but does similar things. And the judge is going to be like, we block that one. The only problem, it's going to take the courts days or weeks to respond. And Trump can sign these things off in five minutes.

These are the games Democrats decided to play. And this is what you get now. Trump is a wartime president. It's time the Democrats stopped pretending. And it's time people in the media started paying attention. Where this is going doesn't sound fun, but it wasn't started by Trump. I'll leave it there. Stay tuned. We got more segments coming up and we will see you all in a bit.

On the latest episode of Club Random, Bill Maher's podcast, Don Lemon and Bill Maher debate how MAGA feels about black people. Quote, a huge faction is really effing racist.

Well, I'd like to just pause and say, you know, honestly, I think a lot of people are racist. I think Democrats are extremely racist. I think Don Lemon's very racist. Bill Maher is probably a lot less racist than a lot of them. And I mean that sincerely. But you're going to play this game. It's 2025. It has been 10 years of Democrats screaming racism.

It ain't going to fly. But this is the debate they get into. Bill Maher opens up by talking about this SNL sketch where Tom Hanks is like, I ain't shaking my hands with that guy, you know. And here we go. What we end up with is a viral clip of Don Lemon saying you can't be a black Republican. And Bill Maher says, I think that many people would find that insulting. And Don Lemon doubles down and says, so what? Democrats can't learn.

And this is why there are approval ratings in the gutter. It's why people don't like the party anymore. Now, I'm not so naive to think the Democrat approval rating down to like what, 29 percent is simply because every single person is a Democrat is like, I don't like these people. It's because the party represents no one. Everybody wants something different. I was a I was a passive Democratic call, I'd say.

For a while, I didn't like the Republican Party. It was not a part of whatever that was, not an overtly religious individual. But I can't say that Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., Elon Musk, Donald Trump were oh so different from me. But here we all are. Here we are now in that camp. You got an eclectic bunch. You got Donald Trump increasing his voter share among Hispanics, Asians, black voters. And they keep calling him racist because nonsense.

Let's read the story, my friends, but smash that like button. Don Lemon and Bill Maher debate how MAGA feels about black people. Really? I got the clip, but let's read.

Bill Maher and Don Lemon argued over the character of the MAGA movement on the latest episode of the former's Club Random podcast, during which the latter insisted that a huge faction of President Donald Trump's fans are really effing racist. The conversation began with Lemon recalling being hit on by various men during a visit to the Trump Hotel in D.C. on the night of Trump's first inauguration back in 2017, which caused Maher to muse the idea that they would be hostile. I mean, I know a lot of MAGA people. One person was hostile, interrupted Lemon.

I'm going to tell you, I fully expect that if Don Lemon goes to any kind of Trump event, people will be hostile to him. I'm not saying they're going to attack him or yell at him. They're going to go up to him and they're going to be like, hey, X, Y and Z. You did this. You did that. You said this. It's because there's real reasons to be critical of this guy. They got the clip. Let's let's we do have the transcription here. And I do have some clips. Let's play this first and see where they're at.

Yeah. You watch CNN, right? Do you know Bakari Sellers? Sure. So Bakari Sellers is a friend. And on inauguration night 2017, Bakari says, let's go to the Trump Hotel. And I said, are you kidding me? No way I'm not going there.

And he said, why? They're not going to out-protect you. I'm like, no, not against. I'm not afraid of anyone beating me up because I'll kick their ass. There's so much rage inside of this body. I'll kick their ass. And he said, why don't you want to go? I said, because I am seeing someone, number one, and I don't want to be hit on so much by a guy. And he goes, you gay guys, you want every straight guy to be gay? I'm like, no. And he said, come with me. I said, okay. So I go. Everyone's buying me drinks. Don Lemon is here. Blah, blah, blah. And then all of these guys are over talking to me.

And sort of rubbing up against me and whatever. And Bakari's like, oh my God, you're right. I have no idea. He had no idea. And it's...

I don't think they're doing it to just normal heterosexual men. I think they're doing it to gay men who they know because they know that they're gay. And so they're shooting their shot. I hate to say that, but it's a it's a truth. Let's just pause real quick and entertain the differences between the left and the right. Don Lemon said he went to the Trump inauguration party at the Trump Hotel and people were trying to engage in adult relations with him. That is the literal opposite.

opposite of what leftists do to people on the right. Hey, Don, let me tell you about my experience when I was not going to a leftist event, when I was going to the deplorable in D.C. at the National Press Club. Very professional.

Yeah, none of the guys were hitting on me. They were throwing bricks at my head. As I was entering the building at the press club during Trump's first inauguration, far leftists across the street were lobbing projectiles, cans, bottles, bricks, rocks, garbage, whatever, over the police line at us. And we had to run in covering our necks. That's what we saw. You go to the Trump Hotel Club on inauguration night, and the worst that happened to you is that guys were trying to mack it to you.

This is the difference between the left and the right. Now, I'm not going to sit here and just claim literally every single person on the right is gay and trying to hook up with guys that show up. My point is no hostility for Don. Quite the opposite of that. That really doesn't surprise me. But I do think that the idea that you would go over there, even if it was this was a Trump, the Trump hotel on Trump. Yeah, it was a Trump crowd. OK, yeah.

So let's talk about where he calls everybody racist. Thanks for clearing things up, Don. Bill Maher says, let me ask you your opinion on this. Internet Live, 50th anniversary show. They did one thing. They did a sketch where Tom Hanks puts on a MAGA hat. So he's a Trumper. And then Kenan Thompson comes over to shake his hand and he won't shake his hand. And I said, this is on Fareed's show the other day. I found it.

That's so old, you know. I didn't vote for him. I get all the bad things about that administration. But if you think they don't shake black people's hands, that's it's just it's just you're wrong. That's not who they are. Lemon says some of them do. Bill Maher says Matt Gaetz shakes black people's hands. You know, Kid Rock will shake your hand. It's just it's just it's too it's just not helpful to think like that in half the country. Bro, Byron Donald's is the favorite for the governor of Florida. He's a black man.

Thomas Sowell is one of the thought leaders in MAGA. And Clarence Thomas is like the number one biggest guy that everybody is cheering for on the right. It is insanity. These people live in a deluded, paranoid state made up by movies and Saturday Night Live.

The new KFC Dunk It Bucket with juicy original recipe tenders, new mashed potato poppers, crispy fries, plus three sauces that fit right on top of the lid. So you can dunk anywhere. You can dunk at the game. Dunk while security points to the no outside food sign. And dunk as 20,000 people watch you and your Dunk It Bucket get removed from the stadium. Dunk almost anywhere with the new $7 KFC Dunk It Bucket or get the double Dunk It Bucket for $25. Prices and participation vary while supplies last. Taxes, tips, and fees extra.

There is a meme that has gone around for years where they take Clarence Thomas's head. He's black, by the way. And they put it over every other justice's head. And they said the Supreme Court, we wish we had how what world do these people live in? And I'll tell you, it's because I don't virtue signals because the right doesn't virtue signal. The right doesn't come out and say, I like black people. So Clarence Thomas doesn't.

No, people like people on the right are just like, here's wow, that was really great. That thing that guy did. But if they came out and made sure to make everything about race, the left might be like, thank you. Now you're making it about race. But the right doesn't do that. Sometimes you get people on the right. They do. They try to virtue them to the left. Lemon says you're a comedian. You know, it's part of comedy.

Mars, I understand. Let's be honest. There's a huge faction of the MAGA movement that's really effing racist. Mars says, I wouldn't say huge. No, I'd say partly. Lemon says, I would say huge. Yeah, OK. Well, we have different perspectives. Lemon says, I would say huge. And even if they're not, you have to overlook a lot of that in order to support Donald Trump, which I think is maybe even more egregious than just saying I'm racist. Oh, OK. Take me home, Don Lemon. The same thing that I what I see.

Not all black Republicans, but I see a black MAGA person who is carrying Donald Trump's water and they know that he's lying. It is the shortest line to the front, because if you're black and you're whatever, you're just in line with a bunch of other Democrats that are doing the same thing that that you're doing. But if you become a black MAGA person, it's like, whoa, let's book this person. Let's put him on television. So you don't think you can be a sincere black MAGA person? No, no. As you said, I don't think that.

I just said I think there can be sincere Republicans. But you can't be a sincere black Republican. I don't think that you can be a rational MAGA Republican.

Be black and be a rational MAGA person. I think you can be black and be a Republican. I think they would find that very insulting. Well, I mean, the truth is often insulting. Well, Don Lemon, the truth is that you're as dumb as a box of rocks. Byron Donald's also a mega favorite in the MAGA movement, backed by Trump himself. Dude.

Byron Donald's is epic. And you know what really bothers me? You don't really, really bothers me. I should not have to bring up the the wonderful job that Byron Donald's does simply because he's a black man. That is insulting to me.

I want to be able to say there are a handful of members of Congress that I like. Thomas Massey takes the number one spot. Matt Gaetz was there. Matt, you left. You left, Matt. And the reason I put Matt Gaetz at number one is because he was breaking the system. He was challenging the machine. He went after Kevin McCarthy, the IOU machine. I loved it. Single spending bills. Big fan. Not a fan of continuing resolutions. Not a fan of Trump's. I understand it's a wartime presidency thing. I'm not going to defend Democrats and help them out. But I prefer single item spending bills.

Thomas Massey right afterwards. Now, Rand Paul, he's in the upper chamber. So in the house, I say Thomas Massey, but Rand Paul's always been a big favorite.

Then you got Marjorie Taylor Greene. You got Lauren Boebert. You got Jim Jordan. You got a handful that I really like. And you know what? Many of them are prominent. And Byron Donalds is up there along with all of them. Now, why do I have to do this, Don Lemon? Why do you make me do this? Why can't I just sit here and say I love Thomas Massey? I disagree with him quite a bit. I disagree with him on the continuing resolution.

Donald Trump is trying to get as much done as possible as quickly as he can. I don't like continuing resolutions. Yes, it's going to add to the deficit. Yes, it'll add to the debt. This is a wartime movement, administrative, civil, whatever you want to call it. And Donald Trump's got to get the job done in a year and a half. So I say, well, you can maintain your principles. You can make these moves. But it doesn't matter if I disagree with Thomas Massey. That's what makes America great. And the most important things that we agree on are the values of this country and what we strive for.

I just disagree largely on strategy with Thomas Massey. But I do respect him tremendously.

Byron Donald, I think, does a tremendous job. And because of racists like Don Lemon, he won't just let us be. He won't let us live. I just want to be like there's a handful of congressmen that I like. I think most are bad. And then Don Lemon comes out and goes, and how many of them are black? I'm like, not that it matters, but I don't know a couple of them, I guess. I don't really sit here and think about which is the black congressman that I like. I think about the congresspeople that I like. And as I said, people, because some are women.

That's right. Politically correct, too. But Don Lemon is the racist. He cannot exist in a world without race. He said it himself on his show. He wants to see people's race. He wants race to be on the forefront. I don't care. Do a good job and you're good. Larry Elder running for governor of California. I don't care. I'm not going to come out here and be like, wow, do you believe there could be a black governor? That's what they said to me with Obama. I was hanging out with a buddy of mine.

He's a young black kid. I mean, this 2008. So, I mean, how old are we? 20. And he's a little younger than me. And I think it was like his grandma or something. She was like, are you going to vote for Barack Obama? And he's like, I don't know, maybe like you have to vote for him. It could be our first black president. And he goes, does that mean he's going to be a good president? And I went, oh, amazing. I voted for him still. But I'm like, respect, like we're supposed to not be racist, right?

I don't care if you're white, black, Latino, Asian, Jewish, whatever. OK, are you a good person with good ideas fighting for good causes? Stop making it about these these characteristics that don't play a role. Thank you, Don Lemon, because we can't escape this reality because of people like you. I'll wrap it up there. Smash that like button. Share the show with everyone. You know, Timcast IRL coming up tonight and we will see you all then. 8 p.m.
