UK Vows To Deploy TROOPS Into Ukraine, Democrats CHANT WAR After Trump ROASTED Zelenskyy | Timcast

MGM Plus presents a new original series starring Emmy Award winner Eric McCormick. I hate flying on a small plane like this. Nathan! First step in the middle of nowhere. Oh God, he's not breathing! One of us is a killer. Ten passports. Let's all assume the worst of each other, shall we? It's not a question of who. Nine bodies. That's why. One deadly secret. So who's next?

Nine bodies in a Mexican morgue. Watch now only on MGM Plus. After Friday's scandal, I guess you'd call it where Trump and J.D. Vance got rightly frustrated with Ukrainian President Zelensky. There have been viral stories about the UK and France and other countries now saying they will commit peacekeepers being deployed into Ukraine. They want the U.S. to be involved as well.

Now, all these stories are all certainly framing it like as of right now, the UK said we are prepared to deploy troops. Story actually is, should there be a peace agreement that ends all hostilities, European nations and they will call upon the US to do the same, want to immediately deploy troops into Ukraine.

That is to say, ain't no way y'all are going to get a peace agreement if you're going to Vladimir Putin, calling him evil and then saying the moment you turn your back, NATO is in Ukraine. So while the story certainly is worrying, many people view it as declarations of war. Well, not quite. They're basically saying Putin agree to the terms so that we can take Ukraine by force after the fact.

They're not so much saying they're going to commit troops before then, but I'm not so sure we get a peace agreement with Vladimir Putin and Zelensky in the way that maybe Europeans and Democrats would want. For those that missed it, quite possibly one of the biggest stories of our generation, a live negotiation during war with the president of a nation at war who has offered us up nothing, by the way.

Yo, these videos are crazy. Now, we talked a bit about it on Friday, of course, but over the weekend, this has certainly bubbled up. And where things get really interesting is Democrats and liberals and progressives chanting war. I want to give a shout out to our good friends, Hassan Piker and Kyle Kalinsky.

Stooges of the military industrial complex, if you ever wondered how you could determine who is right and who is wrong, look no further than I don't know. Like I have a moral framework behind why I believe the things that I do, largely involving the rights of individuals to lead their own lives and decentralized power structures.

Which ultimately brings us to I care about America. I don't like that our borders are exposed. I want to see the working class succeed. And I don't see why we, the United States, should be taking money from working class people to fund the wars overseas for these other countries. That includes Israel. I don't care if it's Israel. I don't care if it's China. I don't care if it's Taiwan. Whatever the issue may be.

I do not see, nor have we been given a legitimate reason why we should allow our borders to be porous and dysfunctional. And at the same time, be dumping hundreds of billions of dollars overseas. Now, as much as I can say, me personally, I don't want to be funding these foreign wars and these incursions.

Why are we even in Syria? All of these questions. You take a look at your good liberal friends who like to sit there and go, you know, we don't like the military industrial complex. Bush was bad and Israel shouldn't get funding, but Ukraine should. Can I just point out to you guys? Ukraine has received more money in the past three years than we have given to Israel in 50 or is it 70 now? 70 years?

Now, I'm not sitting here to defend Israel or any other country. But, oh, boy, do people really lose their minds over Israel. And that's why I say they have Israel derangement syndrome. OK, if you're sitting there and you're not talking about Ukraine stealing all of our money, their president coming to this nation, getting members of our Congress to wave their flags. And now you have prominent liberal personalities defending Zelensky, arguing that we should be funding them. And I'm like, who are these people?

Who are these Americans? Who are these Ukrainians? None of it adds up. What world do they live in that they are siding with an arrogant smug man who, for the love of all this holy, couldn't put on a suit to save his life? Now, I am somewhat reluctant to criticize the man for not wearing a suit as I also don't like to wear suits. But that being said, first, I'm going to the White House for the social media summit. I intentionally did not wear a suit.

That's kind of the point, right? This was a social media thing. However, I did go to Mar-a-Lago and I did dress up as they requested it. And so I can certainly show the respect if it is requested of me. I'm not actually that concerned about the man not wearing a suit, but it is a big story. The reason why the suit story is big is not because Donald Trump called him out for it. A reporter, I believe it was a reporter that did.

But that Zelensky did wear a suit to go and speak at the World Economic Forum, which had a lot of people saying, hey, hold on there a gosh darn minute. Now, for me, I've only worn a suit three times in my life.

Seriously, when I went to court once because I had a what did I have a speeding ticket? And my dad was like, you got to wear a suit. And so he gave me one of his suits and like it was oversized. The second time was when I went to Mar-a-Lago and got to meet the president for the first time. And the third time was my my wedding when I got married. I'm not a big suit wearing guy, but I can certainly understand why and when you want to have consistency.

Like, for the love of all that is holy, could you imagine if I was like, I'll wear a suit for the president, but not my wife? Yeah, yeah, right. Now, when I went to Mar-a-Lago, I still wore the hat. When I got married, I didn't. You see? My wife gets more respect. That being said, this has led to a big controversy and concerns over what this is going to lead to.

Right now, the Republicans are trying to the best of their abilities. And this is actually surprising to me. Even Lindsey Graham has chimed in against Zelensky. We want peace. And this scandal that erupted on Friday. Oh, man, it was wild. It is still international news that on live TV, the Ukrainian president argued over and over again, smugly and arrogantly interrupting the president and vice president while saying, give me money.

And, you know, it's funny. The narrative is that Trump was ready to do it. Trump was going to give the guy the money is going to say, OK, fine, but we want mineral rights. And then Zelensky started insulting J.D. Vance smugly and arrogantly speaking over Trump. And then Trump just went off. No. And then they end up leaving. Zelensky did apologize for this. But we're going to break down largely what I see as proof of the hypocrisy of the liberals in this country, Democrat voters and Democrats voting.

They claim that they're the party against war or that they oppose the military industrial complex. But you know what? Nancy Pelosi, whoever believed she actually opposed the war, right? She comes out and she vomits, you know, she puts out word vomit and we don't care. Mitch McConnell, these other these neocons, neolibs, like anybody believed them. Now, what's funny is you got these progressives and they're sitting on their live streams being like, yes, we oppose the military industrial complex.

And then the military industrial complex walks up and goes, Ukraine. And they go, woo, and they start cheering and screaming for it. It's just remarkable to see the progressive left has aligned themselves with the military industrial complex. We knew it was the case, but this shows not, in my opinion, that they were always stooges, but more so they are a cult. If they are told to hate Trump, they will cheer for a foreign country they can't find on a map.

And the point I made was this. Democrats are licking the ass of Vladimir Zelensky, president of Ukraine, and they can't even point to Ukraine on a map. Republicans are saying F Ukraine. And to be fair, they also can't point to Ukraine on a map. But at the very least, they're coming out and saying, yeah, exactly. I don't know where it is. I don't care where it is. And I don't want to know where it is.

Democrats, on the other hand, are screaming, let's go Slav Ukraine. And then they're like, I think, I don't know, it's somewhere in Europe. It's in Russia or something. I don't know where it is. Now, fine. A lot of personalities, they know exactly where it is. I can pull up the battle map. They've looked at it. But the average liberal that is cheering for this, they have no idea what they're cheering for. They are simply in their mind saying, I hate Donald Trump. Therefore, I will side with a foreign nation. You're going to love this one.

I called Ukraine an enemy of these United States, an enemy. And I'll tell you why. When this video went viral, and of course, these liberals don't tell you the truth about what I said was, Germany had filed charges against a Ukrainian for bombing the Nord Stream pipeline, pushing the U.S. and tangling us in potentially World War III. Now, I want to break this down for you. I mean, we should really get into the news. I'm ranting a little bit, but this is important. You got a buddy.

And you say to that buddy, hey, man, look, you're a hothead. OK, we don't want to be involved in your bar fights. OK, but we're not going to let anybody push you around. How about that? Along comes Vladimir and he shoves your buddy and you're like, hey, man, knock it off because I'm not going to let you get into a fight with this guy. You want to fight? We're all going to get into a fight. And then a fight breaks out and, you know, everybody's screaming. And then it turns out your homie, the guy you said you were going to help,

went behind the scenes, started setting fires and then making the fight worse. And you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a minute. Hold on a minute. You know, I'm not trying to get into a fight with dude and all of his friends. OK, we're supposed to be breaking up the fight. Ukraine goes behind our back and bombs a gas pipeline. That's the charges from Germany. That's pulling us, entangling us in a larger scale war with Russia. In my view, the moments those charges were laid,

Both figuratively and literally, the U.S. should have suspended all aid to Ukraine. Germany said it was the Ukrainians who bombed the Nord Stream pipeline. It's a gas pipeline that goes to Germany. The moment that happened, the U.S. would have been like, we out.

We don't want to be involved in war with Russia, do we? We don't want World War III, do we? We don't want Russia invading from Klingon Grand to Poland or Lithuania, no.

So the moment Ukraine bombed a Russian gas pipeline where they're selling gas to Germany, the U.S. should have said we are now faced with a very serious conflict of interest where Ukraine is attacking resources of Germany and Germany filed these charges.

This is a dramatic escalation of war that's going to rope all of NATO into the conflict. And in fact, it was initially argued that Russia bombed their own pipeline, effectively a false flag, which almost or perhaps could have triggered Article 5 and dragged us into World War III.

That is Ukraine lying to us, cheating us and trying to force us into the war in a way that could be devastating for all Americans and the world because they are scumbags. Zelensky is a dictator scumbag. I don't care. I don't care if the Democrats want to complain about it. The dude won't hold elections. They make the argument the Constitution says they can't have elections during martial law. Yeah, well, who declares martial law?

So they're supposed to vote on it every every 90 days or whatever. It doesn't matter. Zelensky is asked. He could call for elections if he wanted to. OK, anyway, I digress. How about we read the news and I'll tell you what's what's going on here as these countries are calling for troops to be deployed. Before we get started by cast brew coffee. It's so delicious. You will you will say to yourself, I don't understand why I haven't bought cast brew coffee before.

More countries have signed up to Britain and France's plan to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine in the event of a peace deal, Keir Starmer said. Speaking to reporters after a summit of European and world leaders in London on Sunday, the UK's prime minister insisted the coalition of the willing plan must have U.S. backing. Donald Trump's America was a reliable ally, he said. A number of countries agreed to commit troops to a peacekeeping force during the summit, Starmer said, but he added that he would leave it to individual nations to announce their participation.

It reflected a similar statement on defense spending made after the summit by NATO chief Mark Rutt. Rutt said he heard new announcements around the table for European countries vowing to ramp up defense spending, but he would not be drawn on further details. Starmer called the summit in London to drum up support for the peacekeeping plan and to get European leaders to commit to defense spending increases. It was revealed on Sunday morning the UK, France and Ukraine would work on a peace plan and present it to Trump.

The summit was hosted by Starmer and attended by other European and world leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. But there was no U.S. representation. We have the clip in question, which is actually this is not the clip. This is just a post from Election Wizard. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that his nation is prepared to deploy troops and aircraft to Ukraine. Let me see if I can actually I grabbed this from myself, but let's grab the actual the actual video of what he said, because there's this important context to break down.

And here we go. Nick Sorter's got it. You can always rely on Nick Sorter on X. He's got the breaking news. The UK is prepared to back this with boots on the ground and planes in the air. Together with others, Europe must do the heavy listing. But to support peace in our continent and to succeed, this effort must have strong U.S. backing.

Now, Nick says British PM Keir Starmer has announced the UK is preparing to put boots on the ground in Ukraine. Now, Western troops will be sent into the meat grinder. This is what Trump warned us about. They're desperately trying to launch World War Three. America needs to stay away from this. Now, of course, the principal context, if we jump to the community notes, they say.

It says a proposed note. The Western troops will not be sent in Ukraine. Now, the UK wants to develop a coalition of the willing to defend a deal in Ukraine and to guarantee peace afterwards. Ah, peace to guarantee peace. We must send troops from several NATO countries into a war torn nation currently in conflict with Russia. Let me break this down for you.

I certainly think the context is important. And you point out in the event of an agreement in which Russia withdraws or whatever, we are going to send in troops. We're prepared to do that. That's what the UK is saying. I think it's the stupidest thing you can say because it's basically them sabotaging any peace negotiations. Vladimir Putin, why do you want access to the Crimean Peninsula? And Vladimir Putin is going to say the Black Sea fleet is based in Sevastopol, Crimea.

We are not going to take 15 to 20 years to build a new multibillion dollar port for which we sell and transport fuel.

Furthermore, we will not allow Western influence to shut down our sale of gas through Gazprom in Ukraine. For this, Russia has taken the Donbass region, what are they, Hans, Mariupol, down into, and Zaporizhia, down to Crimea, so they can maintain control of this access because the black seat is how they transport fuel, energy, and goods into the Mediterranean through the Suez.

Shutting off Crimea for Russia is basically cutting their country in half. Putin's not backing off that. So you say, OK, here's what we're going to do. We're going to do a peace deal, whatever that may look like, Putin. Don't worry about it. We're going to send in troops from several NATO countries the moment you turn your back. Russia's going to be like, when are you turning my back then? OK, he wants to make sure he doesn't lose this access. And the West basically said, yeah, yeah, trust us. We're going to deploy aircraft and troops the moment you turn around.

You know, maybe the war could have been averted if they made these moves first, but I think that would have just driven the war immediately. Now take a look at this. Y'all may have seen this video from Friday. 22.7 million views from rapid response. I want to play it for you now, and we can break a little bit of this down about the scandal that's erupted and why we're going nowhere.

Listen to this. It's going to end the destruction of your country. Yes, but if you are not strong. Mr. President, with respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media. Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. You should be thanking the president for trying to bring it into this conflict. Have you ever been to Ukraine that you say what problems we have?

I have been to come once. I have actually I've actually watched and seen the stories. And I know what happens is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour, Mr. President. Do you disagree that you've had problems?

Bringing people into your military? And do you think that it's respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country? A lot of questions. Let's start from the beginning. First of all, during the war, everybody has problems.

even you, but you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future. God bless. You don't know that. God bless. Oh man. You see that? That really got Trump going. You don't know that. You don't know that.

We're going to feel it because Putin takes the Black Sea because he's there with the Black Sea fleet. Don't tell us what we're going to feel. We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're going to feel. I'm not telling you. Because you're in no position to dictate that. Remember this. You're in no position.

It's remarkable. This guy Zielinski is one of the worst world leaders I have ever seen. Not the worst, to be fair. It's given up on me. It won't play.

That's X for you. That's not an Elon thing. Don't tell us what we're going to feel. We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're going to feel. I'm not telling you. Because you're in no position to dictate that. Remember this. You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel. We're going to feel very good. You will feel influenced. We're going to feel very good and very strong. You will feel influenced. You're right now not in a very good position.

You've allowed yourself to be in a very bad position and he happens to be right about it. You're not in a good position. You don't have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards. Right now, you're playing cards. You're playing cards. You're gambling with the lives of millions of people. You're gambling with World War III. You're gambling with World War III.

And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country. I'm with respect to you far more than a lot of people said they should have. Have you said thank you once? No. You said you went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October. Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America and the president. I'm just going to I'm just going to pause. Donald Trump is speaking.

You smile, you nod, you let him speak. Zelensky is a very poor leader of a nation.

He there's a there's a viral photo going around. I don't know if it actually is reflective of this moment, but it's the ambassador, the Ukrainian ambassador, United States face palming as Zelensky won't shut up and stop interrupting Donald Trump. Here's a president who sat you down and said, we're going to solve your problem. OK, we give you X, you give us Y. And Zelensky is trying to tell him he's wrong. You're going to feel the pain. You better do this. We've got nothing from them.

And there's no argument for us to be involved as a longer video. I'm alive with the world and I want to get this. You see the hatred he's got for Putin. It's very tough for me to make a deal with that kind of hate. He's got tremendous hatred. And I understand that. But I can tell you the other side isn't exactly in love with, you know, him either. So he points out this guy's got hatred for Putin. Hey, man, I don't blame him. I'm going to be nice because because because I let's be reasonable, OK?

I completely understand. All right. If somebody if we got invaded, if somebody invaded my country, I'd be pissed off, too. The problem is they don't have the cards. That's what Trump said. He said you don't have the cards. And so what we're dealing with Ukraine.

You need to be deferential. You need to be nice to this man, Donald Trump, who is actually attempting to provide some support that we have no obligation to provide. We should not provide, in my opinion. But maybe Trump wants to offer up because we'll get something in exchange. The world has reacted. And the hilarious thing about it is that Democrats are actually against Trump on this one. I'm sorry, man. These Democrats, it's a cult. It is a cult. I will tell you why.

You know, we ask this question quite a bit, my friends. We ask quite a bit. How do you know if you are in the cult or they're in the cult? And it's like, do we really just march in lockstep with everything? We don't. I mean, I won't stop ragging on the guy over TikTok.

Fine. It's trivial. I'll give him credit because I think Trump does a generally good job. I mean, massive net positive. In fact, the best first month of any administration I've ever seen. That's a reality because, well, I come from more of a libertarian background. So, you know, classical, traditional, liberal-ish with some libertarian leanings. So I like to see I like to see the deep state, the bureaucracy be reformed. I don't care if we want to rebuild it, whatever. But it's got to be clean house. It's got to be it's got to be cleaned up.

You look at right now at the reaction liberals are having to this, and it is to just defend Zelensky. Who is Zelensky? Why do we care about Ukraine? Give me one reason. They don't. They don't. They just say Trump's licking Putin's butt or they do that lie. They're like, oh, yeah, well, Tim and his friends were funded by Russia. That proves it. That's the lie. That's the best they can do. It's a cult.

Doesn't none of that addresses the arguments. They say, you know, I saw a bunch of posts about Ukraine war. There's viral videos of people being snatched off the street and thrown into vehicles. And I can see the community notes on them. And the community notes are always like this video first appeared on Russian propaganda websites. And I'm like, that's not a fact check. That's just.

A website in Russia showing it. Tell me if it's real or fake. Prove to me the video is fake. Or I think it's fine to say we have not confirmed the veracity of these claims. We know there's manpower problems. It is a fact they're conscripting the elderly and young women. These videos, however, may be fake. We don't know. Honestly, we don't. But to come at me and be like, it first appeared in a Russian website. I'm like, yeah, because the Russians don't like the Ukrainians. Do you have a counterpoint?

Like, are you going to tell me that, you know, it's fake because of something specific? You don't. OK, well, then stop wasting my time and play this game where they're like Russia is evil. And no matter what Russia does, it does. It proves it's bad. Listen, stop and ask yourself, cultists, why are you mad at Russia? Honest question.

What did Vladimir Putin do to you or to us, the United States, in which we are upset? Now, I can break down for you the geopolitics on a surface level, very light. We'll call it geopolitics 101. I ain't no foreign policy expert, but it largely has to do with Russia selling energy in North Africa through the Mediterranean Suez. It has very little to do with like Russia,

about stealing the United States's gold from Fort Knox or anything like this. Like, what has Russia done to us to where we're like evil Putin? We're going to sit here and complain about Putin being a dictator. I don't like the guy, but the U.S. is going to be like Vladimir Putin is a dictator who's been in power for 30 years and he wants to bring back the Soviet Union. And I'm like, yes, yes, all true, all true. Why do I care? Why do I care?

Answer me this. Why do I care? Well, look what he did in Georgia and Chechnya. I don't care about those places. I don't live there. I don't work there. We have a southern border problem. OK, if you want to come to me and talk about what's her face in Mexico, the president, I'd be like, well, that's interesting. That country neighbors ours and the cartels are causing us problems. I can see why I care about a scandal in Mexico. But Russia.

You want to come at me and tell me about the leader of Eritrea or Sudan next? Because I'm going to say the same thing. I don't care. And then they go, yeah, but Russia is a superpower. They've got nuclear weapons. And I'm like, uh-huh. Talk to me about the leaders of Iran. Talk to me about the leaders of Nigeria, whatever it may. Nigeria is certainly not Iran. My point is you can come to me about any country. Talk about Xi Jinping and say China is doing all these bad things. Great. Are we at war with China now?

Are we going to get militaristically involved in Pakistan and send boots on the ground and get involved in every single conflict everywhere in the world? No. The reality is the U.S. and NATO have an interest in taking control of Ukraine for a lot of reasons. There's a clip I want to play for you guys. It's actually funny. It's a clip from Joe Rogan talking to Tulsi Gabbard as they're watching the Colbert Report. So you're going to watch Tim Pool play a clip from Joe Rogan of them playing a clip of Colbert Report. Yeah.

Before I do, let me show you the battle map. Let's break it down for you, my friends. Welcome to Ukraine, a country I largely do not care about. Now, I want to make sure you all understand how they're lying to you. Before buck naked underwear, going out naked was a negative. Grocery shopping in the nude, a big no-no. Sunday service in the buff, a disservice. And naked in the garage, a

Just odd. Turn naked into a net positive with Buck Naked Underwear and feel like wearing nothing at all anywhere. Get Buck Naked at your Duluth trading store. There she is. High five. Dave can't stop celebrating big savings with the Comcast Business 5-Year Price Lock Guarantee. It's 5 years of gig speed internet and advanced security at a great rate that won't change. Only for a limited time. Comcast Business.

Back to finish up my point on why it's a cult.

They're not going to give you any legitimate reason why we're involved in this conflict versus literally any other conflict. They're not going to come here and talk to us about Kazakhstan's crisis in the east. Are they going to talk to us about the where are we at? You've got China in the west and you've got Tajikistan. You've got Islamabad and you've got Xinjiang. Is that where is Xinjiang? I don't even know where it is. See, I don't know. I don't care. I don't pay attention to these things.

But are they going to talk to you about the Uyghur-Muslim crisis and the conflict? Are we going to go join their fight because Xi Jinping is a dictator of a communist nation? They don't do it, do they?

The reality is West and NATO have interest in taking control of Ukraine for a variety of reasons. Now, let me just simplify it for you. I'm going to show you the battle map. OK, here's the Mediterranean Sea. Here's where Russia can transport goods through all of Europe and North Africa. Here's the Suez Canal, which can get them to the Arabian Sea, to India, to Southeast Asia really quickly. Quite honestly, one of the easiest ways for them to do it.

Look at this. So here's Moscow, the center of power. And here's the Black Sea. And here is the Bosphorus Canal, which leads to the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal, which leads to the Arabian Sea. If Russia loses control of Sevastopol, which is Crimea, and they lose access to the Black Sea fleet, or at the very least, we tell them you're going to have to build a new massive industrial port. They're going to be like, that's going to set us back decades.

If they get caught off. So they're not going to accept it. They've got a military base in Tartus. But that's Syria. And of course, Syria is collapsing. So here's Syria. And let's jump up to Tartus.

There it is. Tartus right here in Syria. This is why Russia doesn't want Syria to fall. But Syria has fallen. And now they've lost Mediterranean access in Tartus, where they have a naval base. Next up is the Black Sea. Yeah. Do you think Russia is going to back down for major conflict? Yeah, I don't see it happening. So what can we say? Well, first of all, let me just say this. We shouldn't be involved in it. The conflict didn't need to happen if NATO wasn't trying to gain access to Ukraine. But let me break down for you exactly what's

No, I don't need to break it down for you. I'm not going to do it. I'm going to show you this clip that of Joe Rogan talking about the issue. Elon Musk retweeted it. OK, here we go. This is funny. I'm going to back out of this real quick. Here we go. Let's let's do this one. Here's the clip.

Elon Musk says wow to Insurrection Barbie, who says much watch clip. So now Tim Pool has commented on Elon Musk, who's sharing Insurrection Barbie, a clip of Joe Rogan and Tulsi Gabbard watching the Colbert Report. Enjoy. Mr. Rose, thank you so much for being here. This will explain to you what's going on in Ukraine.

Now, Gideon, help me out here. We've got a battle. The Ukraine, some of them want to go into the EU, the European Union, and some of them want to stay with Russia. If the Ukraine's not in Europe right now, what continent is it on? Well, it's part of Eurasia, but it's part of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet bloc. It's basically Robin to Russia's Batman. And the challenge here...

The challenge here is to try to attract it to the West, to get it to flip sides. So the rebels in the streets, what are they fighting for? They're fighting for a better future. Countries have a development... That sounds like a political speech. No, but it's actually true. Countries have to develop over time. And Ukraine basically, after the end of the Soviet Union, faced two tracks. It could stay a sort of stagnant, corrupt, authoritarian country tied to Russia, or it could essentially join the West...

it could modernize, liberalize, become a democracy. At the last minute, when it looked like it was going to trade up from its sort of abusive relationship with its boyfriend from the hood to a nice yuppie... You're not loading these choices in any way whatsoever.

It's actually true. When it looked like it was going to trade up to a better environment, at the last minute, Putin offered a bribe. How much? $15 billion. That's a lot of cash, man. It's a lot of cash. And the president, who himself was tied to the old elites and the eastern part of the country ties to Russia,

decided to back off the change and go join Russia. Do you know how many pirate-themed restaurants you can buy with $15 billion? The problem was the western parts of the country and the younger parts of the country and the more modern liberal parts of the country basically knew that they had no future being Russia's vassal, and so they took to the streets. Is America taking sides in this in any way? If these people, the rebels are winning right now, right?

Yes, just recently. Why isn't Obama spiking the ball in the end zone and calling Putin and saying, hey, you might have won the medal count, but we won the country count, biatch.

It's actually a very good question and the answer is that we don't want Russia to intervene and kick over the table like a game of Risk and take Ukraine back. Would they do that? Could he send in troops? Yes, he could. So we are choosing... Does Ukraine have any troops of their own? Would they fight back? Yes, but we don't want this to escalate and we don't want Russia to crack down. So we want to basically distract Russia. Oh, look, you have the highest medal count. Oh, you did really well.

And, you know, fuck us on the Olympics. There's a shiny object. We'll just take an entire country away from you. Basically. Okay. Wild. Yeah. It's a crazy clip because, and shout out to Tulsi Gabbard, big fan, and of course Joe Rogan, because when you take a look at what this means,

So in 2013, I visited Kiev where something called the Euromaidan protests were happening. You can actually watch it on Vice if you're so interested. Let me see. Ukraine, Maidan, Tim Pool, Vice. I'm just going to pull this up. I actually had a Reddit AMA. You know what's really funny? It was 11 years ago, and I couldn't tell you. I can't remember half of all of that stuff. Live streaming in the Ukrainian revolt, Ukraine Rising Part 1.

Uh, let's pull this one up. Wow. Back when vice existed. Look at that. So, uh, I'll tell you what I found that sentiment that was being expressed is not untrue. The younger people that I met, and these are random people. We did not have like state departments directed meetings or anything like this. Yo, I literally, as I often do, flew to the country and walked around the city and we interviewed random people. It was, you know, it's really funny.

You know, I can tell you for sure we didn't have any State Department direction in this regard. The two guys that Vice sent me with were screaming and begging to leave. They wouldn't shut up. And I was like, dude, we can't leave. We are witnessing the breakdown of government. They torched a records building. We went inside a burning, a burnout building. They took over another administrative building. The young people there

very much wanted to join Europe. Europe was wealthy and was rich. They wanted to be part of the EU and the Schengen zone. And they said, when our government decided, when it was basically split between Russia and the West, you've got to divide in this country very much down the line. And it resulted in conflict and crisis, ultimately the ousting of President Yanukovych, who fled to Russia. So these young people decided,

It wasn't so cut and dry that they were like Russia's evil. It was very much just like we don't want to be a part of Russia's trade federation. We've seen what they did to our country historically with the Holodomor, with the Soviet Union. And access to the EU is access to wealth and freedom of movement to a lot for a lot of these people. I also went to Athens, Greece around the a few years later. And of course, Greece is a country.

Very far away, but a similar sentiment when I was in Athens. That is the poorest of individuals said the moment we get access to the EU, we out, baby. And the concern that you had was that a mass migration of Ukrainians into the EU would would would displace jobs and cause wage problems and then just collapse Ukraine.

Basically, what happens is you really do have pro-EU sentiment in Ukraine, fomented, of course, at the time by USAID-funded NGOs and other programs because the West wanted Ukraine to politically make this move. But take a look. Belarus and Ukraine were largely under the control of Russia. Belarus is an ally of Russia. They get a lot of benefits, and it's staying that way.

Ukraine, same thing. But the West made its move against Ukraine. Russia uses Ukraine for Black Sea access, as I've already explained. There was no way that was not going to turn into major conflict. They knew it. And now here we are. Trump is saying, who cares? Why are we involved in this? Now, I'll give you the simple reason.

The United States, I should also stress this real quick while we're looking at the battle map. Never forget Kaliningrad. I cannot tell you every single conversation I have with a regular old person as a pay attention always starts with me saying, yes, but Kaliningrad. OK, Kaliningrad is a Russian oblast.

state that is north of Poland, southwest of Lithuania on the Baltic Sea, separated from Russia by Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus. And there's concern that the Russians may want to connect a land bridge. That is to say, they want to cut through Lithuania and Poland to gain access to Belarus so that they can freely move machinery, military equipment and personnel in and out. Kaliningrad is isolated from the main portion of Russia. Think of it like Alaska, I guess.

Kaliningrad is heavily militarized on the Baltic Sea. If Russia wants to make a military move on Poland or Lithuania, it does not need Ukraine, not to mention Belarus is an ally. They keep saying this. They say, if we don't stop Russia and Ukraine, he'll make a move on Poland. Why? He can freely move about Belarus right now. In fact, there was reporting a while ago they were stationing nuclear weapons there, not to mention Kaliningrad.

These are lies. The issue is Russia doesn't want to lose access to the Black Sea. They don't. And then the liberals say, oh, they have other access to the Black Sea. They have Sochi. Remember the Sochi Olympics? Dude, they're not going to spend 20 years building a massive industrial port and the home to their Navy. That's in Crimea. It's been there since the Soviet era. It's been there 100 years.

They say that he invaded Crimea. They were already there. This is what people need to realize. So how about we do this? I got a clip from CNN's show. Have I got news for yous? And listen to this one. This is how liberals view the whole circumstance. This is what's crazy to me. OK, before I play this, let's just pull up. Here's Kyle Kalinsky. He poses me.

Me asking my grandma to stop at McDonald's. Zelensky shaking hands with Biden. Says me asking my mom to stop at McDonald's and Trump and J.D. Vance are yelling at Zelensky. This is not the only meme posted by Kyle Kalinske that is ragging on Donald Trump and propping up Ukraine. Why?

Kyle, why are you in favor of the military industrial complex spending hundreds of billions of dollars in a country that no one can find on a map? And I say that because it is not an ally of the United States. It is not of utmost strategic importance other than cheaper gas into Europe.

But I digress. Let's make fun of, oh yeah, here's Zelensky wearing a suit for the World Economic Forum. And then, where's that stupid article? I don't know. And then he got ragged on for not wearing a suit. Democrats are actually defending him in this regard. It's like the people,

People are mad because he shows respect to others and not us. OK, but where's that stupid clip? Here we go. Let's play this clip. Roll tape. Trump is bad cop. Who was in there playing good cop? There wasn't one. It was Vice President J.D. Vance who rolled out the Ohio hospitality like this.

For four years in the United States of America, we had a president who stood up at press conferences and talked tough about Vladimir Putin, and then Putin invaded Ukraine and destroyed a significant chunk of the country. What makes America a good country is America engaging in diplomacy. That's what President Trump is doing. They have said what he had to say to him. Zelensky hit him with the old, well, actually. Can I ask you? Sure. Yeah? Yeah. Okay. So...

You know what?

Facts are rude.

Sometimes you get the Ukraine-splaining shit to people. This is amazing. Let's go back so you can hear what he said. Obama, then President Trump, then President Biden, now President Trump, and God bless, now President Trump will stop him. But during 2014, nobody stopped him. He just occupied and took. He killed people. You know what? Facts are rude. Let me just pause real quick. He didn't invade Ukraine in 2014 to take Crimea.

What happened, for those that don't know, is that the Russian military was already in Sevastopol in Crimea. They simply walked outside the base. I'm not exaggerating. I am not defending Russia. I think Putin is a scummy guy. I think he's a bad person. I don't like the guy. He's a strong leader for his country, whatever his interests may be. But the Russian Navy is based in Crimea. They walked out, had a referendum, and that was it. There was no occupation. They already occupied it. They'd occupied it since the Soviet era.

And now they're saying facts are rude. Well, sometimes you've got the Ukraine-splaining shit to people. He came in, laid it out, and tied them up in their own words in his fourth language. That is how...

How easy it is. It's so wild. Zelensky said what he had to say. Here was Vance in response. With respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media. Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. You should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict. Oh, thank you for letting your dog shit in my yard. Thank you. How is that even funny? Now, J.D.,

told Zelensky, you should be thanking me. Now, how do you think old Zelensky responded to that? I'm pretty sure he realized the error of his ways. Here, take 80% of our natural wealth. Zelensky, clap back with this. We have been to Ukraine. Did you see what problems we have? Have you ever been there before? Have you been? Now, I got a question. What is this? Honest question.

To you and to anybody else, what is this? Why are these liberal personalities kissing the ass of Zelensky? Honest question. You know, I can tell you a lot about foreign policy. I've been to 30 plus countries, not and I'm saying that to say I've been to a lot, but I've not been to all. What do we have, like 190 something countries in the world? And maybe that changes. I have no idea. Does sea land count?

But I've been all over. I have interviewed the British consulate to Iran. Is that not the consul? What's the guy's name? I don't know. I have interviewed former Soviet generals in Ukraine. I have discussed with many people around the world about these various issues that affect international conflict. Been to Venezuela, had to flee the country. They accused me of being a spy. And I can tell you,

logically and simply about the structures on a surface level. There's probably people that are deeply involved in these things. They know way better than I do. That's fine. My question is, who are these people to be like, Zelensky's right. He's great. J.D. Vance is wrong. And I'm like, right about what? About what? What is J.D. Vance wrong about? You don't know anything about this. But for some reason, these people are just like Zelensky is better than Trump. Why? Why are we in Ukraine?

OK, now I can tell you, I know it's because natural gas. I mean, seriously, it's natural gas oil. It's cutting off Russia, which will dramatically weaken their economy. It will destroy them substantially, probably cut them off by like 30 percent, which Putin's never going to allow. It bolsters our ability to control the price of energy into Europe, making it cheaper for our European allies and then damaging Russia.

I'll give you an example of what I just find to be the weirdest thing, frustrating and insane.

is this tweet from Catherine Brodsky, who is, she's on X, she's been on the show on Tim Guest IRL before. No disrespect, not the biggest personality. She responded to Donald Trump, who said on the 28th, we had a very meaningful meeting at the White House today. Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure. It's amazing that what comes out through emotion, blah, blah, blah, determined that President Zelensky is not ready for peace if America is involved because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations.

I don't want advantage. I want peace. He disrespected the United States of America and its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for peace. The response from Catherine, I think, really exemplifies the...

What would you call it? A derangement syndrome, a derangement syndrome. OK, I'm going to read it. But don't forget to smash that like button right now if you haven't already. Smash it and share the show with everyone. You know, the Tim Pool Daily News Show on all podcast platforms. We're on Rumble, of course, Rumble.com slash Timcast. And if everybody watching shared it right now, we'd be the biggest show in the world, which we

We've been growing. We've been growing. Right now we have over, I think, like 35,000 viewers. So you guys, you rock so much. Really do appreciate everybody helping to, I guess, advertise, market the work that I'm doing. If you think I do a good job and you believe that more people need to understand what's happening, share the show with everyone you know. Catherine Brodsky responds, and this has got 400,000 views.

The level of petty disrespect you advance displayed today is unprecedented. I had hoped that you would actually make a deal that protects Ukraine while ending the war. Turns out bullying was what you intended so that you could claim that Zelensky is the reason for the lack of peace, even though he clearly wants peace. He just also wants to ensure the future safety of Ukraine as a good leader should. Your misrepresentation of his views and humiliation shows that all you wanted was credit for ending the war, but ended on Russia's terms, not mutual terms. That is not diplomacy. Catherine. What?

OK, well, you're you're Canadian, I guess. Is it Canadian? OK, well, with all due respect, you're entitled to your opinion. But we here in America as Americans don't care about Ukraine. I don't care now. I didn't care then. Ukraine registers to me as much as Sudan does. I mean, yeah, the U.S. dumps tons of money into it and I don't want them to.

I do not care what the Canadians think of what my president, who I voted for and Vance, my vice president, say to an arrogant man who shows up, can't put on a suit for the life of him unless it's for the World Economic Forum and has the nerve to interrupt and insult Donald Trump. OK, my friends, let me just I'm going to help you out for my liberal friends. When you go into a meeting with a billionaire to ask for money to save anything, let's say your cat is dying.

And you're like, my cat needs a kidney transplant. They have a procedure. Here's what this is true. They actually do this. You adopt a cat that is set to be put to sleep like a shelter and they'll take a kidney from it and give it to your cat. But you must adopt both cats. See, that's pretty awesome. Actually, we tried that for Mr. Bocas. We entertain it. Unfortunately, Mr. Bocas was a street cat with birth defects. He had bad kidneys and they were like, we don't think he's strong enough for this procedure to work.

So we got an extra year out of it. But let's say I needed 10 grand to pull off that procedure. And so I sit down with a guy and he says, look, I don't know why I'm getting involved with your cat. I'm sorry. It sucks that your cat is sick. But what do I get out of it? How about this? You give me your fancy rock collection. OK, and I'll buy your fancy rock collection off you and save your cat. With all due respect, I don't think I should have to give you anything. You know, if you if my cat gets sick, you kidding me?

You're sitting down in Trump's office to ask him for another hundred, two hundred billion dollars from me, from us. And you have the nerve to talk over him. Tell him what for. My friend Zelensky apologized. Yeah, he actually went to five says, I apologize. You know, I shouldn't. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

This guy needs to be impeached or removed or whatever. But you know what? Ukraine is a corrupt state. It's been a corrupt state for a long time. It's a beautiful country. They have tremendous farmland. I really enjoyed my time there. I've been there, I think, what, three times?

Really enjoyed it. But it's not our business. It's not. And the move here is it's it's it's fascinating to me. First, I want to stress this to Democrats are lying about it all. I'm just I'm just sorry. It's true. They keep saying Putin thought he'd take Kiev in three days. He never said that. Never happened. I believe that was Milley who said Trump. Putin thinks he can take it in three days. And they turned it into a Russia Senate talking point. Now they come out and say he thought it'd be three days. It's been three years. Let's keep fighting.

Do you know the Democrats argue, Democrat voters and politicians, we are weakening Russia. He's throwing wave after wave of his own men and he's struggling here. This is fantastic. And I'm like, so your argument is that the Ukrainian people are cannon fodder to weaken Russia? Yes, because Ukraine was largely viewed as a vassal of Russia. They are happy to see them ripping each other to shreds and Ukraine being destroyed and Russia being damaged. And me, I'm just like, can we fix the water in Flint?

I know they keep saying it's fixed, but depends on who you ask. How about can we secure the southern border? Oh, wait, Trump did that. You take a look at the American people are concerned about its economics. It's not Russia selling fuel in North Africa and in the Arabian Sea. But that's what they're trying to sever Russia off from. Russia knows it. Kaliningrad and St. Petersburg gives them access to the Baltic. And then the Black Sea is everything.

Istanbul, that's where the Bosphorus Canal is. And Turkey controls that. Russia can send its ships and do trade into the Aegean Sea, into the Sea of Crete, into the Mediterranean.

And all across, even out through Gibraltar and around if they really wanted to. And it also grants them access to the Suez Canal, which right here gets them access to the Red Sea and can allow them to trade in India, the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, etc. Tremendous access for Russia that they lose if they lose this position. They're not going to give it up. So I just want to stress this again. Who are these people that are cheering for this stuff?

I got to give a shout out to Lindsey Graham. So Laura Ingram said or tweeted, Lindsey Graham said that perhaps you should consider resigning. Zelensky said, Lindsey Graham is a very good guy. I can give him Ukrainian citizenship. Then his voice will gain weight. And all the Democrats are hooting and hollering and clapping. Lindsey Graham says, unfortunately, until there's an election, no one has a voice in Ukraine. And they actually tried to argue against this. Now, I really don't like Lindsey Graham, but I'll give him credit for that one. He's right. I don't care if you want to argue. They can't have elections. They're under martial law.

Sure. So that means no one has a voice. They try responding to this being like they have a voice. They can speak out in media just like Gonzalo Lira did. And they killed him. And Zelensky was asked about it. I do not know this man. I know this. No. Who is that? I don't care about this. I have bigger problems.

Gonzalo Lira was a Chilean American who was reporting on the ground in the Ukraine conflict. They arrested him for anti-Ukraine sentiment. He tried fleeing the country and they murdered him. So don't come to me. Do not come to me. OK, and prop up this Zelensky guy. OK, I'm not here for it. This guy's not a good person. His only incentive is the war must not stop. Isn't it weird?

Kyle Kalinske, here he is. The war mustn't stop. The progressives, they're just all for the war. Here's another meme. Finally, you're dressed appropriately for the Oval Office and he's wearing sunglasses and dark mag like Elon says, thank you. I'm going to that's that's just funny. I'll give him that one. You've got this one. Please help. Russia is slaughtering my people. No, America first. Then Netanyahu. I want I want to bomb children. Give me 100 billion. Yes, daddy. You see, Kyle, here's the thing.

He's your military industrial complex stooge. These people are cult hypocrites. That's a fact. All right. Let me tell you, by all means, let's criticize the funding of Israel, the conflict and all of that. OK, I'm not a fan of war. I don't want to be involved in Israel's Israel's Israel's conflict. We're going to be stuck there for for another 70 years. Who knows how long?

I agree with many people. In fact, I've had neoconservatives. I've had moderate Republicans, more on the pro-Israel side, and libertarians. We all agreed there's got to be a timeline for withdrawal from Israel.

We are spending way too much and they need to develop self-reliance in their own defense. And that would mean let's set a timeline. We're going to slowly wean off of this. Obviously, we don't want Afghanistan times 300. We're not going to leave Israel instantly. It's a 70 year relationship. Ukraine is not our problem. Now, again, we also don't want Afghanistan, you know, whatever. But we're supposedly not in Ukraine. So what's the issue? We should not be funding any of it.

Why is Kyle using one to defend the other? Because these people are cultists who will defend whatever they're told to defend. That's just it. The dude's got tons of memes where he's basically just pro Zelensky, anti-Trump. He's against Trump no matter what, for no reason. That's just it. Here's here's just he just whatever he can do to make fun of Trump because they're cultists.

I'm going to grab your super chats and rumble rants for the last few minutes, my friends. But don't forget to smash the like button and subscribe to this channel. And what you got to do is at the most inappropriate time, right in the middle of a work conversation when they're saying, so did you file the new TPS report? You got to watch Tim Pool Daily News Show, the best morning news show ever. Everyone agrees. At least that's what I've been told.

Probably don't do that, but, you know, if you could shout out the show, that'd be greatly appreciated. And leave us a good review everywhere. So if you're watching on Rumble or YouTube, comment, smash the like button. If it's iTunes, Spotify, or otherwise, leave a good review. If 800 million people all reviewed us right now, we would be questioned by the industry as having fake numbers. Probably banned for gaming the system. So, you know, we don't have that many viewers. Anyway, here we go.

What have we here? What is this? Denver Enjoyer says, this is such cope, Tim. Cope from who? Need to work on your TPS. I don't know what a TPS report is. It's from Office Space. TPS reports? What is that? I want to look that up. What is a TPS report? What is a TPS report? That's from Office Space, right? It is a, let's see what it says. A fictional yet widely recognized term from Office Space. Test procedure specification. Ha ha.

fictional yet widely recognized. There we go. TPS reports. I'm not your buddy, guys. It's almost as though coke headed Zelensky intentionally came to derail it publicly so the EU and partners could attack Trump and Vance to isolate them. No, I think Zelensky's intention was to make sure war keeps happening. That's that's it. He is a figurehead puppet. He doesn't care about ending the war. He just wants the war to continue.

That's all he has to make happen. And then the Democrats chime in like little morons and cheer for more war, whatever. I'll tell you consistently, I'm an anti-war individual. I strongly oppose war. I strongly oppose U.S. involvement in all of it, have my whole life. Yet, how are you having these progressives be like, war is bad? What's that? Ukraine? War is good.

My favorite Hassan Piker moment was when he was criticizing me, criticizing. No, no, he was he was criticizing me, agreeing with him. OK, Mr. Beast was curing cataract blindness. Hassan Piker made a video where he was like, this is insane. Why are we turning health care into a game show? I made a video agreeing with I said Hassan Piker is correct. This is nuts that we rely on a game show to cure people of cataract blindness when it's a simple procedure to do. Something is fundamentally broken in this country.

And then in that, I said, we should not be backing the military industrial complex in these wars. So Hassan Piker is like, yeah, the military industrial complex is a bad thing. You know, we shouldn't be funding all these wars. And then I said, and that's why we shouldn't be involved in Ukraine. And then Hassan does a 180. And he's like, oh, homie, homie thinks Ukraine should be left on their own for real, bro. Well, no one ever accused Hassan of being smart, I guess.

All right. Hyperion says, Tim, the New York Post reported the Dem met with Zelensky before the Trump-Vance meeting. Actually, it was Democrats and Republicans. Scrapjaw says, thanks for having AK and I on. It was fun. Looking forward to future community involvement. Indeed, shout out to the Roma Nation podcast, born of the Timcast community Discord server. St. Miles had shared on other social media platforms. Amazing.

Corpus Delecti says, Tim, did you hear about the European gas companies refusing to allow U.S. naval ships to refill there now? Interesting. Looks like war, my friends. I'm not. Connor Subba says we need to leave NATO. You know, I don't know that I completely agree with that. I don't I don't like NATO expansionism and I don't like Europe not paying their fair share. I don't like that we could be dragged into Europe's wars some hundred years on over whatever this garbage is.

We need our own alliances and structures that need to be mutually beneficial. And if that's Europe, that's fine. But they haven't been paying their, and I mean literal fair share. There's a GDP payment expectation they're not meeting, these European nations. So Trump is right to make them pay up. And he did in his first term. They should be doing it now. I don't know that we need to leave NATO. I just don't know that NATO needs to keep expanding to every single country on the planet. Say love you. Vassal Park says because they are illiberal. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, Aflac. Call them what they are, Tim.

Fascists, warmongers, and cultists? I try. All right, what do we have? Zeroni says, Zelensky's behavior last week was that of a man who knows that everyone else in the U.S., everyone else the U.S. funds to fight a war is eventually declared a forward enemy of these United States. Oh, man.

Stephanie Holes says, Zelensky is the puppet put in by the deep state to facilitate money laundering. Can we get proof of laundering if Zelensky is in charge? Would allowing Zelensky to expose himself on live TV allow narrative and negotiations to change to peace can't happen if Zelensky involved? Well, I don't know. We will see. It's tough, huh? Don't know exactly what's to come next, but I think it's fair to say a lot of people view Zelensky as a puppet. As a puppet.

All right, let's see. There was something I wanted to bring up. They're illiberal. Well...

I guess we'll wrap things up, my friends. Subscribe to this channel if you haven't already and share it. If you're on YouTube, you can post about it, I guess. I don't know.

Over the weekend, Donald Trump announced the Strategic Cryptocurrency Reserve with five different tokens. Of course, you've got Bitcoin, you've got Ethereum, but he also has Solana, XRP and Cardano. And I know for many of you are saying, I have no idea what those words mean.

Well, I'll break it down for you very quickly as we get into the story. It basically means cryptocurrencies back on a menu, boys. A strategic reserve means the U.S. is going to be buying up large quantities of these cryptocurrencies or tokens, and that will likely cause the prices to go up. There's a variety of reasons why the U.S. would do this. Namely, cryptocurrency is popular. It is a decent investment. It has seen massive growth. It is utilized by countries all over the world.

Namely, El Salvador, of course. But there is value in this asset, whatever your view of it may be. It is a digitally scarce resource.

Can only go down. The value can only go up. There's a lot to break down on how Bitcoin operates. Technically, that could change. But suffice it to say, the world has embraced it. And it's a means of transferring wealth, holding wealth, and for some, even speculating and making money. And thus, the U.S., late to the game, is getting on board with Bitcoin. I don't know if they've announced the exact number.

that we're going to see purchased. But there are other questions about why Solana, XRP and Cardano. Again, you probably never even heard of those cryptocurrencies. Well, we in the industry like to refer to those as ish coins. It's a it's a swear word. I'm trying. I tried to swear when I do the show, but I don't really say that. I've actually full disclosure.

I have held a small amount of Cardano tokens for a long time. I have lost money on this, but it's largely because these are American companies. And so I think the reason the United States is making a strategic reserve, essentially an investment in things like Solana, XRP and Cardano is

Think of that as stocks. The U.S. basically making a bet. If we say we will get behind these and hold a reserve, the price will go up. That's going to result in more purchases of those cryptocurrencies and could help those companies expand and give the U.S. crypto dominance. You know, whatever, I guess. But we'll break the news down. The prices are rallying. People are getting rich. One dude apparently already made $7 million since the announcement was made.

Considering Cardano and Solana XRP are relatively cheap compared to the $100,000 Bitcoin, a lot of people bought a lot and saw massive gains. Let me tell you, my friends, what's really fascinating is

I just watched Squid Game 2. Squid Game 2? I don't know, whatever. It sucked. Oh, don't watch it. It's so bad. And I was really disappointed. And I say it was bad. It's because, like, imagine someone took flour, butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla. Ooh, you see where this is going. It's sounding pretty good. And then they started mixing them up in a bowl. And they put, you know, some egg in there. And you're like, I know what you're about to make. And then they threw it on the floor. You'd be like, wait, what?

You were so close. Chocolate chip cookies. Anyway, I'm not going to do a review on Squid Game other than to say there's no story. It literally is just an expositional waste of time, not to mention it's woke. I digress. There's a scene in it where, for those that are familiar with Squid Game, Squid Games, I don't know, whatever. And the first one, it's basically poor people, people who are in debt, degenerates, whatever, gamblers, gamblers.

They need money. And so they play a life or death game to win what is effectively, I think, like $30 million USD. It's 45 billion Korean won in this one. One of the guys, actually several of the guys who are destitute and are playing this life or death game for money, they're destitute because they lost everything in cryptocurrency. One guy's like, I need my phone to check the crypto market so I can see where I'm at and make trades. I'm gonna lose money. It's fascinating to me.

It's beyond mainstream at this point. It is governmental to the highest degree with the U.S., with China, with Russia buying into crypto, namely Bitcoin. And of course, El Salvador has been buying up Bitcoin for some time now and seeing beautiful profits. But it's mainstream. It's in our media. It is meme coins. It is popular culture. It is here.

And the wild thing is, this is life, you know, I tell this story. I remember when when Bitcoin was at 70 cents, I didn't get at the beginning when it was a penny, when it was less than a penny. I was it was 2011, the beginning of 2011, somewhere around then it was like 70 cents. And I was like, should I just buy a bunch of this? My buddy said, nah, just buying Internet points. We're going to lose all your money. And I'm like, yeah, fair point.

So I didn't. To be fair, if it went up to from 70 to five bucks, I'd have sold in two seconds. In fact, I had around 20 Bitcoin and I got them for like a dollar something and then sold them when they were like five. And I was like, let's go. No, no, I think I sold about 20 bucks. Yeah, I got like 400 bucks. Paid rent. Paid rent with it. Could you imagine 20 Bitcoin? What is that now? Almost two million dollars. Heavens me. At the time, though, the 400 dollars seemed worth it.

But here we are. Trump has announced the strategic crypto reserve. Let's take a look. CNBC. Oh, I would be remiss if I did not mention the other part of the story is that Democrats are saying Trump is doing this to enrich his family and rip us all off. OK.

Cryptocurrencies rallied on Sunday after President Donald Trump announced the creation of a strategic crypto reserve for the United States that will include Bitcoin and Ether, Ethereum, as well as XRP, Solana and Cardano's ADA. Quote, a U.S. crypto reserve will elevate this critical industry after years of corrupt attacks by the Biden administration, which is why my executive order on digital assets directed the presidential working group to move forward on a crypto strategic reserve that includes XRP, Sol and ADA. He's

He said in a post on Truth Social. Now, Solana, for those who don't know, that's the meme coin HQ. So when people are buying, basically, these are like, my understanding is that ADA, Solana, XRP are very similar to Ethereum. If you're not familiar with what that is, I don't know that I would be doing anybody a favor to try and break down the nitty gritty. I'll show a couple of basic breakdowns. But the general idea is,

Bitcoin and Ethereum are rather similar. With Ethereum, they, Ethereum as a cryptocurrency, I know, it's like there's so much you got to understand about this stuff. Cryptographic keys, systems, blockchain, the ledger. Okay.

So the way Bitcoin basically works is you have a public and a private key. You send a public key to somebody. It's like, hey, this is my address. The private key allows you to control what goes out of that address. But anybody can send stuff into it. It then records it all on the ledger. And it's anybody can read it.

Ethereum is rather similar, but Ethereum doesn't function entirely the same way as Bitcoin. Ethereum is, some say it's more like a stock. It's centralized, controllable. But Ethereum created, with Ethereum, we got what's called ERC-20 tokens, which are cryptocurrencies that can be launched off of the Ethereum blockchain. And then Ethereum is basically the backbone. So this allowed a lot of people to create, you know, meme coins and things like that and make their own cryptos and their own name, whatever. Anyway.

Trump says, I will make sure the U.S. is the crypto capital of the world. And obviously, Bitcoin and Ethereum, as other valuable cryptocurrencies, will be at the heart of the reserve. He said in a follow up post, I'll also love Bitcoin and Ethereum. XRP surged 33 percent of the announcement while the token tried tied to Solana jumped 25 percent. Cardano's coin soared more than 60 percent. Cardano probably soared more because it was I believe it was the cheapest, the cheapest cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin rose 10% to 94,000, which is crazy because it dipped to the low 80,000s. That was nuts.

Ether has suffered some of the biggest losses in crypto year to date, gaining 13 percent. Trump is hosting the first White House crypto summit on Friday, and investors will be watching closely for more clues about the direction of these reserve plans. This is the first time Trump has specified his support for a crypto reserve versus a stockpile. While the former assumes actively buying crypto in regular installments, a stockpile would simply not sell any of the crypto currently held by the U.S. government. So now Trump is facing a blowback.

Because Democrats are basically saying the real play here is his kids buy up tons of XRP and ADA. Then Trump announces the U.S. government's going to buy up tons of this stuff, forcing the price to skyrocket and the holders will make bank.

Which is stupid because they already publicly announced the tokens that were going to be available for purchase, allowing anyone to have bought it before the announcement was formally made. And even right now, before they've purchased any, they are giving ample warning to everyone on the effing planet. They intend to hold these cryptos. The real reason, in my opinion, that Trump is buying up XRP, Solana and ADA is

I can't speak for Solana, at least I believe I could be wrong. These are American companies and Trump wants the United States of America to

to be the dominant force in crypto. With the U.S. buying up and holding on to large portions of this crypto, they're basically saying, we are backing these companies. Now, you want to complain about that? Let's roll, baby. The U.S. government choosing winners or losers by effectively buying a stock, a digital asset to prop up these companies, fine. But the reason Trump's doing it is not to make his family rich.

He's already a billionaire. These people really don't get it. They live in this crazy world where they're like, I deserve to have your stuff. And they don't understand what people who have money actually care about. Don't get me wrong. There are a lot of people just want to see the number go up.

Some people live that way. But I got to be honest, most of the people I've met in my life who just want to see the number go up are not rich. And most of the people I've met in my life who are rich did something through passion and the money came after. That is basically what everybody says. Now, maybe Trump's whole life was let me just get that number up. Sure, fine, whatever. Those people do exist.

But I will tell you this, the majority of wealthy individuals are not spending their day to day sitting there staring at the numbers. Some are usually when they're lower tier, like lower tier wealth, like, you know, they make a couple million dollars a year as financial managers, CFOs, etc.,

The people running the show, the Trumps, the Elons. Elon didn't say, I'm going to make myself the richest man in the world by building rocket ships. Like, who thought that? And then the dude was like, well, now SpaceX has made him the wealthiest man ever.

Well, let's read this. Trump faces blowback over plans for a crypto reserve. But first, let me give you a little bit about Cardano. Full disclosure, I have Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano.

Cardano is a public decentralized blockchain platform. It uses proof of stake to achieve consensus. It can facilitate peer-to-peer transactions with its internal cryptocurrency ADA. It began in 2015, led by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson. The project is overseen and supervised with the Cardano Foundation based in Zug, Switzerland. When launched in 2017, it was the largest cryptocurrency to use a proof of stake blockchain, which is seen as a greener alternative to proof-of-work protocols. Basically, proof-of-work requires all these GPUs to pump stuff out.

So maybe I was wrong. I thought this was U.S.-based, but I guess it's not, in which case, again, I'm not entirely sure exactly what Trump's play is with these, other than my assumption is he wants the U.S. to be in deep control of these things. After leaving Ethereum in 2014, Charles Hoskinson and Jeremy Woods had their plans for Cardano.

Hoskinson had left Ethereum after a dispute with co-founder Vitalik Buterin. Hoskinson wanted to accept venture capital and create a company, while Buterin wanted to keep it as a non-profit organization. So you can basically see it that way, I suppose. So there's wealth generation here. Cardano reached a market cap of $77 billion in May 2021, which is the fourth highest of cryptocurrency at the time. Advertising agency, blah, blah, blah. Ranked Cardano as 26th for brand intimacy, blah, blah, blah. The Cardano Foundation, yada, yada, yada, et cetera, et cetera. Okay, you get it. Then we have XRP.

This is the Ripple Protocol. And I must add the most annoying of cryptocurrencies. Sorry, guys. You can complain all you want. Comment and tell me. And I tell you this. All of the comments are going to be people claiming that XRP is going to go to 200,000. I swear. It's like, what is that? Two dollars. OK, let's let's let's pull this up. It went up. Don't get me wrong. Two dollars.

$2.69 for XRP. And you get all these annoying viral scam posts where they're like, big news, XRP is going to jump to 100,000. And it's like, dude, stop. Just stop. They're trying to trick stupid people into playing this get rich quick scheme. Sorry, I mean, I know all the cryptos basically do it. But seriously, XRP is spam blasted everywhere. Basically, and I'm not blaming the company behind it or whatever.

It's a cryptocurrency platform launched by Ripple Labs. It employs the native cryptocurrency known as XRP, supports tokens, blah, blah, blah. Once again, much like these other cryptos. And then you have Solana, of course. Blah, blah, blah. It's got a digital token. I don't know. You get it. The XRP ledger operates on a consensus protocol that differs from proof of work and proof of stake. Transactions are validated by a network of independent validators who reach consensus every three to five seconds, enabling rapid transaction settlement.

Users rely on a trusted list of validators, even as the unique node list. While this approach provides faster transaction validation and security, though, it has a lot of discussions about centralization within its network. So I think one of the big factors here for Trump is that you've basically got these cryptos that function decently. ADA, I'm interested in. It basically competes with Ethereum, and there's some that speculate it would be better as a for-profit. We'll see what happens. But I think Trump...

It's basically saying we're going to bet on these based on some internal reasons, whatever. I don't know. And they're going to go up in value. This is going to solidify these companies as the major players. Maybe it's a Western thing. So apparently now the consequences. Oh, the New York Times, they're so angry. The cryptocurrencies are riding high again. Blah, blah, blah. I will make sure the U.S. is a crypto capital of the world. Blah, blah, blah.

Critics of all political stripes decried the move. Some Republicans raised questions about spending taxpayer money on risky assets instead of paying on the national debt. Joe Lonsdale, a friend of Elon Musk, said it's wrong to steal money for grift on the left. It's also wrong to tax me for crypto bro schemes. I just think that's very stupid.

Some protested the seemingly latest conflict of interest involving Trump crypto, noting that Trump profited from promoting the so-called meme coin Trump before his inauguration. SEC last week said meme coins wouldn't be subject to regulatory oversight. This is getting egregious. The software developer Nikita Bayer replied to Lansdale's post. Every two weeks, there's a kickback to the family completely delegitimizes all of the work Doge is doing. OK, first of all, let me just stress Trump has not made any money off of the Trump token.

They launched the meme coins, same as literally anybody else. And I believe in April is when the insiders are allowed to start trading. The price will likely collapse. They will make some money. You know, that's the point of doing a meme coin. I think it's all dumb. But meme coins are like, if I said I'm going to be issuing out a bunch of collector beanies and then y'all can, like, imagine this. This is actually really funny. I'm going to release a bunch of beanies, let's say 1,000.

And they're not going to sell until June 1st. Imagine I said that. I'm not really doing that. And then I said, you can buy a steak in as many beanies as you want for whatever price the market dictates. And then created a fluctuating market where anybody could trade as if it was a stock. Isn't that crazy? I mean, that's actually probably, that's a really good idea, actually. Because then what happens is, basically...

Let's say it costs five bucks a beanie for us to make. It's probably less than that. And then someone buys them all up for six dollars.

And so we've already made all our money back. Okay, we sold them all. That person now basically holding all of them can now trade them and set the price to eight. And then people are betting on whatever they want to buy it for. That's basically what a meme coin is. And, you know, a lot of people think they're going to get rich off them and it's stupid. And some people do. Don't get me wrong. They'll buy like some dumb meme coin for, you know, 10 meme coins per penny. And what does that mean? It's a digital asset. It's scarce to cryptographic challenge.

chain like you know can't be copied then once it jumps let's put it this way let's say meme coin selling for one penny it couldn't possibly get lower well actually not one penny but it's selling for uh one cent gets you one eighth one eight decimal decimal point so it's like it can't go any lower if it goes to two you've doubled your money and so a lot of people are going to buy these meme coins for a dollar and then say sell it if it's two and then depending it might they double their money

And then someone else bought it for two. And the question is, if it keeps going up, who loses? It's game a hot potato. Trump hasn't made any money off the Trump coin yet, but a lot of people have lost a lot of money so far. But a lot of people have made a lot of money so far. So blah, blah, blah. Basically, you've got a bunch of people saying on the left that Donald Trump is enriching his family because they've been given the heads up on this one. PBS reports a look at the Trump crypto ventures that will help the industry and likely enrich his family.

I just want to say, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I think let me just say this before I read all this. The crypto move is a good move. I don't care if he chose. He chose three, three crypto currencies. That's Bitcoin and Ethereum makes sense. Those are two major players. Bitcoin, of course, being the actual crypto and the rest being, I don't know, stock or whatever. Trump's deciding these are the companies we want to hold.

I don't see it as being risky. It just depends on how much money Trump is putting into these things. If Trump says he's going to put the entire GDP into ADA, I'd be like, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. I doubt he's going to do that. It might be a few million dollars. And then we're going to go, whatever. It'll move the price by a few cents, maybe. Maybe some people will buy into it and then Trump will sell it all out and gut the early investors. I don't know. He'll rug pull the American people. So here we go.

PBS, and this is before, this is from February. They say Trump says he's a crypto president, blah, blah, blah. He's attached the Trump name to a crypto token and other crypto themed products. Critics have said that the ventures are ripe for abuse by people seeking Trump's influence. Trump put his investments and assets in a trust management by his children and has pledged not to play a role in managing his companies while president. Here's how it looks. They say $100,000, crypto president tour billion, tour billion?

which the Trump themed online watch store, he first promoted Trump watches. So what? And that was the crazy, Trump is selling watches. And I'm just like, okay, like, I don't care. I really, I don't care if he's selling watches. 11 billion, roughly the, how much the market cap overall value of the president's meme coin has been erased since it peaked at 15 billion. I love this. They do this with meme coins. They're like, this is the market cap. That's meaningless. It doesn't mean anything. Y'all are nuts.

Meme coins are gambling. 300 bucks for crypto themed sneakers. 75 blah, blah, blah. Look, I literally don't care if Trump's like buy a Trump coin. I'm like, OK, do it or don't make those decisions yourselves. But the media is looking for any reason to be angry at Donald Trump. So literally anything and everything he does is bad. All right. Let's just lay it out like this. I don't care which cryptocurrencies Trump names. They're all better than the dollar.

And this is funny when you get these critics being like, I don't like being taxed so that they could buy these crypto bro schemes. And I'm like, let me just tell you, bro. Yeah, the taxation thing I get, but...

Solana, XRP and Cardano are better to be held than the U.S. dollar. So you ain't going to come to me and be like, we should hold more dollars. I'm like, why? It's being gutted. Inflation's through the roof. Now, I know Scott Besson, the Trump administration, has been talking about this. Interest rates coming down, cooling off prices that I get. But let's just be real. The way the U.S. economy works, obviously, these are all better investments than the U.S. dollar. So I don't care which crypto Trump chooses. Whatever. Cry more.

I'm going to wrap it up there. We got more segments coming up, my friends. This is big news in the crypto world. Thanks for hanging out. Stay tuned and we'll see you all in the next segment. Naked dresses. That's right. That bunch of women just showed up to the Academy Awards naked.

Because I guess nobody was really mad at Bianca Sansori and Kanye West. But welcome to the modern state of the failing institutional culture. And I'm glad to see it is failing. Take a look at Donald Trump's White House. The influencers being brought in to break big news, despite the fact people were pretty underwhelmed at the Epstein files. Still consider the major victory of the White House being like we're going to give the news to prominent personalities instead of major corporations.

The Academy Awards ratings have been pretty awful. And here we are now. Many of you may remember when Ye brought his wife, Bianca Soria, onto the red carpet. Was it the Grammys? I think. I don't know. I don't pay attention to these things because they're completely immaterial. And she drops her jacket or whatever. And she's wearing like see-through lace. And she's just buck naked. And everybody got all mad.

Here's a funny thing. At the Oscars, the women all did the exact same thing. And I tell you this, my friends, I can't actually show you this on YouTube. That's right. The women were all buck naked. And if I show, I'm not kidding, dude, at the Academy Awards, these like desperately irrelevant things.

losers showed up in basically the same kind of outfits that were see-through so you could see everything. Olivia Wilde in her underwear. I mean, come on, grow a pair, okay? Whatever that pair may be, have some, I don't know, mental fortitude and willpower. But these people are smarmy, pathetic degenerates, and I got no problem saying that.

So now I will activate my blur because I literally can't show you these images on YouTube. I kid you not. We can keep the blur low a little bit. It's one thing when they've got an AI video of Trump sucking on Elon's toes and you can make out what it is. You're like, ah, stop. It's another thing when it's just like we can't show naked women on YouTube.

That's YouTube's rules. So I will blur those images. And I got to be honest, you don't want to see some of these images. All right. I should blur it a little bit more. I do think it's plenty blurred, to be fair. But we'll we'll blur it a little bit more so you can still see that there's you know, you got a woman there and she's basically nude. OK, we've blurred it. OK, so.

Here's a story from Harper's Bazaar. Naked dresses were the order of the day at the 2025 Oscars after parties. Stars slipped into barely their designs to close the evening celebrations.

They say, uh, mighty awards season, Hall of Fames, blah, blah, blah. This year, naked dresses made a clear return to the after-party red carpet. Julia Fox may not have been nominated for an Academy Award this year, but the Uncut Gems actress swept the award for most daring dress of the season, arriving at an Oscars after-party wearing a completely sheer piece by London Fashion Week favorite Dilara Findicoglu, which incorporated strands of her hair into the see-through design. She naked!

OK, blurred. And I was also opting for a barely there gown was Olivia Wilde, who chose a romantic sheer pengnuo style piece from Kama Kamali's Chloe SS25 collection with lace detailing. Oh, heavens me. Degenerate. This one's not as bad, but it's really cringe. I cringe.

It's just so unoriginal. There's nothing good about it. I mean, if you want to be sexy, that's fine. You want men to look at your nude body and be aroused? Okay. But is that the point of the Oscars? I guess so. Here's another one. Basically the same thing. They're all just naked women. I think the cringe, the most cringe, was the lady who did butt crack cleavage. I kid you not. There were two butt cleavages.

The Jenner sisters decided to match their sheer pieces to Kendall pulled from the archives, blah, blah, blah. I mean, yeah, it was, but that's just like a body suit. That one I don't really care about. This one was really funny because I guess, who is this one? Kylie Jenner.

She wasn't actually nude. She's wearing a dress that looks like it's sheer see-through, I believe. But it's actually just there's like designs on it. And then the material is the same color as her skin. So it looks like she's but she's wearing a dress and fine. This one is the cringest, most pathetic. Yo, I am embarrassed for Zoe Kravitz on this one. She did butt crack cleavage.

In another take on daring dressing, Zoe Kravitz embraced the business in the front. Party in the back memo with a satin long sleeve gown by St. Laurent, which features a sheer detailed behind exposing her derriere through a bead embellished mesh cutout. Well, I've blurred it. I don't know what YouTube's rules are on trying butt crack, but she's literally wearing a normal dress. But there's a big circle right above her butt and you can see her crack. It's like, dude.

I am embarrassed for you. But you know what? I can respect the bravery in wearing these ridiculous outfits. There's another one, too. I got to blur it all. Because look at this. A Daily Mail literally just has an image of a nude woman. Okay, fine, I guess. Where's the other butt crack woman? Is that her? This is, I think, Megan Thee Stallion. She just has her boobs hanging out. I mean, okay. Here's Olivia Wilde. I have...

I blurred it. Oh, man. It's so cringe, man. It is so cringe. These are already largely blurred. We should crank the blur up a little bit more. I mean, you can't see anything.

Right? They're just blurry silhouettes. But, yo, legit, this is what it is. They even show Bianca Sansori at the, what was it, the Grammys? Yeah, the Grammy Awards. And then they basically say, literally everybody's doing it now. So what was the outrage that they were claiming to have over Bianca Sansori and claiming he was getting kicked out? They all love it. They all love it. Here you go. This woman right here. She's not wearing a dress. She's wearing this white dress right here with her butt crack hanging out. Okay. Okay.

That's how cringe these people are. Right. Let me let me let me scroll up and de-blurify the images that were, you know, there's Ariana Grande wearing normal clothes, whatever naked dresses. There's a there was a cartoon on Newgrounds or on YouTube, whatever, a long time ago. I know some guy being like the future of fashion and music in, you know, like 2040 or whatever.

And it's a guy, and he's like a dad in his car. And he's like, come on, honey. We're going to be late. Get in the car. And she's like, hold on, dad. I'm getting dressed. And then she sits in the car, and she has a strip of duct tape over her nipples and her junk. And there's a price tag that says like $300 on the strip of duct tape on her junk. And then the dad is like, is that what you're going out wearing? And she's like, everybody wears this, dad. Put on some music. And then when she turns the music on, it's just like, meh.

Like really annoying noise with no actual beat or sound. I agree. That's where we're at. Yo, I got to be honest. That's it's going to keep going in that direction until we have like a cultural just death. And then perhaps there will be a renaissance and there will be an explosion of new styles and new arts. But let me tell you, when I'm driving in the old Tesla and I put on the radio and I put on, you know, like just modern music.

There's a handful of it that I really like. I love that Post Malone, I think is pretty good. And what's that one song from Teddy Swims? I like Teddy Swims. He's great. He's really great. That's a great voice he's got there. But so much of the music is like someone took a Yamaha child's piano and pressed play and it goes, and then some guy's rapping and I'm like,

You know, you just you just clicked auto generate like you just you just clicked. You didn't you didn't even do any work in making this. OK, that's fine. You don't have to with technological advancements. But I'm like, you know, give some give some I don't know, reverb on these things. It's like really lowbrow. To be fair, that one song, Clint Eastwood by the you guys ever see this one, how Clint Eastwood song was made. It's basically is viral video.

Let me pull this up. This is going to make you laugh. It just came like that. That's it. That's the preset. It's the Rock One preset. Wholesale. So apparently that's how the Gorillaz song was made. He's got a preset child synth and he pressed Rock One. That's kind of crazy because it means somebody wrote the backtrack to Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz for a child's auto-generated song with no effort. And it turned out to be a major global hit.

Welcome to Modern Culture, my friends. This is why I stress we must win the culture war. So let me know what you think about all of this as per usual comments and how you feel. Because there's going to be a lot of people who say, hey, man, look, this is just how things go. There's ebb and there's flow. And I'm just like, they're degenerates. We don't want culture to go in this direction. I got no problem with funky fashion dresses like Ariana Grande is wearing right there at the Oscars, the weird shapes. And it's like, you're not really wearing clothes, but OK, you're bold. But like,

A bunch of them just showing up naked is just OK. Come on. You're just ripping off. Yay. And Bianca. Right. It's unoriginal. Have some willpower. Come up with an idea on your own for once. Welcome to the Oscars, my friends. Degeneracy. You know, it is what it is. That's what you get.

Man, we got to build culture. We've got to build a better culture, okay? So join the Discord server, timcast.com. Get involved in the community. Share the show. Let's build something that is...

I don't know, honorable. Not this garbage. I'll leave it there. We got more segments coming up. Stick around and we'll see you all shortly. Ah, yes, it's a Joe Rogan-fueled conspiracy theory. They got to put that in the headline. And the only time they're going to talk about it is when Joe Rogan talks about it. That's the nature of celebrity in this country, my friends. Joe Rogan had Elon Musk on his show recently, once again. And in this episode, they discussed why is it that this kid, this crazy guy,

was able to get a shot off on Donald Trump, actually hit him in the ear. Nothing adds up. No formal reports. And he mentions a lot of strange things about it. They say the roof was sloped. We couldn't have anybody up there, but there was another sloped roof. They did have taller buildings, too. And then Joe Rogan mentioned CNN was streaming this. Why? A rally in the middle of nowhere? CNN decides we're going to broadcast this. Did they receive a tip?

Well, here's the funny thing. They reject Joe Rogan's statement vehemently. And people are saying, sue, sue Joe Rogan and Spotify. But Joe Rogan's right. Just because he said CNN streamers is weird doesn't mean CNN knew anything. I gave you a very simple answer for Joe and Elon and for all the people who are angry. How is it?

That CNN came to stream this? Well, they claim they were awaiting news on a VP pick. I say shenanigans. Shenanigans. What? Trump was going to announce his VP at a rally in Butler? I watched the news. There was so little murmur about that. There was none. I was in a poker room. This is nuts. I live, eat, and breathe. Okay? The news.

And there was there was nothing that was like, this is it, ladies and gentlemen, Trump is about to announce. We expected he was going to make an announcement in some formal capacity, some public statement on X or on Truth Social. Not that a rally. But it's actually quite simple. Let's how do we say that there may have been some nefarious dealings without CNN being aware of it?

It's called someone tipped off CNN that they want to cover this rally. It's that simple. So the point that Joe's bringing up is that it's really weird. CNN was doing this one rally. They say, yeah, we're waiting to hear about the VP. Why? Let me give you a scenario. Somebody orchestrated an attempt on Trump's life. That's a fact. Let's say that there was another individual involved and they went to CNN and said there is going to be a life changing, earth shattering moment for this country at that Butler rally.

You don't want to miss it. And then CNN goes, really? Then someone goes to the board or to the editorial control room and says, we got to cover this Butler rally. I got a source who's telling me something huge is going to happen. It might be the VP pick. And they go, really? Might be the VP. Yeah. They're saying something big is going to happen.

Someone may have tipped off a producer, not explicitly stating there'd be an assassination attempt, but CNN felt compelled to go do it. Someone may have gone to them and said, he's going to announce the VP there. Trust me. Wink, wink. For whatever reason, it is weird that this one time they were streaming.

CNN is outraged, of course. We have the clip. Let me play it from Joe Rogan. Why did that guy try to kill Trump and almost succeed it? Why did he do that? Well, I'd like to know that. Well, yeah, but... That one's crazy. You know the whole deal with that guy's house, professionally scrubbed, no footprint on the internet, no social media footprint. Yeah, there's 0% chance that he has no social media footprint. He was in a BlackRock commercial. Yeah. Yeah.

Do you think BlackRock's a bad company? I don't think any company is a bad company. I think their design is to make as much money as humanly possible. And I think if you're trying to make as much money as humanly possible, you're going to do some things that aren't necessarily good.

The question is, if you're going to have an assassination attempt on the president, it's not like BlackRock's board sits down and votes on it. That would be awkward. You know, being the board minutes, it'd be like, guys, remember that time when we said something? So we probably shouldn't have done that. I highly doubt it would be a corporation that chooses to do something like this. I think more likely it's individualism.

individuals involved that recognize that it's beneficial to them if he gets assassinated. And so a small group of people carry something out. And with this kid...

We don't know anything, right? And everyone stopped asking questions, and there was never a formal report. There was never press conferences where they detailed all the information that we know currently and where the investigation stands at the moment. What we know is you have a very young kid who was filmed.

They knew he was there with a range finder a half an hour before the event. You also know that CNN streamed it live, which I do not believe they did for any other rally. And certainly not for a rally that's in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania.

Like, there's a lot of weird shit. The fact that they wouldn't let people be on that roof because the Secret Service lady said it was sloped and it was... Well, here we go. We have the response, the formal response from CNN Communications directly addressing this, which is very strange, saying...

CNN provided live coverage of Trump's Butler PA rally in anticipation of news about his pick for vice president. Any suggestion contrary to that fact is completely false. Shenanigans. I say shenanigans, CNN. It makes no sense. Why would you live stream his rally in anticipation of his VP pick? Makes no sense. They'd have a crew there as they normally do. And if Donald Trump says, we got a VP, we got a good one. He's good. They turn the cameras on.

Then they'd go breaking news. We have a report out of Butler PA to Trump rally. He's announced his VP pick and they'd roll tape. They wouldn't stream the whole thing. Doesn't make sense. Now, again, some mean CNN did it for any other reason. It could be that someone tipped them off saying Trump's going to announce his VP pick. I don't know why they assumed that. No one assumed that. And this is what really pisses me off. CNN.

We had no privy to information. And it's fascinating. It's fascinating. The Timcast crew, our company, we have many individuals who work here who are well-connected. In fact, we have had Donald Trump on this show, Trump Jr., on a couple times, actually. We have had people from his administration, from various positions. We have had Kash Patel on the show, I think, what, like three times. Okay? The idea, you're going to come to me

Come to me. OK, we're right by D.C. and say you had previous information that none of his inner circle was giving anybody but CNN. OK, I'm going to say it again. You know, it is fair to criticize Trump because he likes to give media attention to these corporate. He likes to give attention to the corporate press. And we're always like, why is he always doing interviews with with these with these these garbage media companies? Talk to the talk to the independent media.

Things have been changing recently. So I'm just going to say this. We had nothing. We were on top of this, as we have been quite a bit. Now, to be fair, I had no idea the Epstein thing was going to happen. Apparently, none of the other people involved did as well. But you guys comment below. Let me know what you think. Do you believe CNN? To what degree did they have privy access or knowledge in this regard? So ultimately—

You know, as we're looking at the weirdness of that incident, we got a private investigator now saying there may have been an accomplice. May have been? There had to have been. As Joe pointed out, as I've pointed out numerous times, there's been no official story. There's been no formal story. We don't know.

Anything about this guy. Okay, with 9-11, they're like, so these guys in these cities got on these planes at this time. They had these box cutters. This flight said, let's roll. That plane crashed. This plane left at this time, at this minute, causing it. They've given us a detailed minute-by-minute breakdown. I've been to the Flight 93 Memorial. You go in there, and they've got a minute-by-minute breakdown of how this happened. Somebody shot the president in the side of the head, and he narrowly survived. Okay? It was millimeters away. And the story's gone.

Nobody knows. I'm ready for my life to change. ABC Sunday, American Idol returns. Give it your all, good luck, come out with a golden ticket. Let's hear it. This is a man's world.

Is the Trump administration, Cash, Patel, and Dan Bynes, are they going to be digging into this one?

Because I'm curious, what would they find, if anything? Now, the Democrats believe Trump staged this, but Trump was not in government. That would mean that elements of the FBI, the Secret Service, local police were like, let's secretly work with Trump and stage a fake assassination attempt. How? He's not in government. That would mean he was president the whole time.

Are Democrats arguing that Donald Trump was out of office but secretly controlling the White House? I really doubt it. The policy was so dramatically different from Trump's first term to Biden's. So the only explanation would then be if there is something nefarious, criminal elements in law enforcement. And as I've explained over and over again, it takes only one person in logistics. How do you do it?

Imagine you're in a room with five doors and you've got five security guards or let's say you have four security guards. You go, all right, I'm going to give I'm going to give out assignments to our security. You guard door one. You're on door two, three and four. Don't worry. I'll take care of door five. And they go, you got a boss.

Or actually, they don't even do that. They just go up to each individual and say, you're on door one. Keep it a secret. You're on door two. Keep it a secret. All doors are accounted for. Each individual sniper or cop is told, guard this area. What none of them know, because it's compartmentalized, is that one person in charge intentionally left a security hole. That's all it takes. And then this kid shows up. There's got to be a little bit more to it than that, because this kid brought a weapon in. He was flying a drone around, and nobody stopped him.

I want answers. I don't think we're going to get answers. In the meantime, CNN ain't nobody buying it. Again, I'm not accusing them of any wrongdoing. And it may be that they really just were trying to see if the VP was going to be announced. But why stream the whole rally if that's the case? That makes no sense. Who knows what tip they received? So again, when people say the implication is CNN knew this would happen, Trump would be assassinated or someone's going to try. That's a leap.

We know what we do know is that it's weird. Literally, it's a fact statement. It is out of place. CNN wasn't covering any other rallies. So riddle me this. I'm gonna wrap it up there. We got more segments coming up. Stay tuned and we will see you all shortly.

According to a new poll from Rasmussen, 60 percent of voters under 40 approve of Donald Trump's job performance. Now, Rasmussen tends to have a fairly good track record. But of course, I'm going to bring you the aggregate polling because it does not reflect as such. It's it's still pretty good for Donald Trump. He's he's doing really well. Best of his career, though he is seeing a slight decline. Let's make sure I pull up the 538 Trump job approval, which I believe is gone down.

He still has. Oh, look at this. It's basically tied at this point. So over time, Trump's beautiful approval rating has now tapered down. This is to be expected, actually. But still, this is RCP. Let's do a Trump approval rating.

Still the best numbers of Trump's career. And right now his spread is point six on Real Clear Politics. But the youth, not so much the youth, but the under 40 support for Trump being 60 percent is actually tremendous. But it is one poll. That's why I immediately showed you the aggregate.

I do want to go through civics data and I'm going to show you why Democrats are a cult. They're going to be wrong. Republicans don't get any free passes here either. But what we see when we look at civics data trends is that the economy, you ask a Democrat, how's the economy doing? And they said, everything's great. Inauguration day happens. All of a sudden they're like, the economy's bad. And it's like, uh, what? Well, these people largely just march in lockstep with whatever the media says. So when the average person is complaining about the economy and Democrats are going, blah, blah, blah.

Sure enough, we start to see afterwards the media picks up the story because now Biden's out of office. Did you get Republicans have similar trends? Don't get me wrong. Not the same, though, as it were with Republicans.

There is a light tendency. And with Democrats, there is a strong tendency. That is to say, when you look at the data and again, I'll pull it up for you. Republicans do have a bit of this trend where they're like Trump's in office. The economy is good. You know, then Trump leaves office and also everything's bad. Mostly not, though. In fact, when you look at the the data, when you look at the numbers from Trump's first term as he was leaving, actually,

Economic numbers were actually collapsing among Republican voters before Biden got in. In fact, well before, which is indicative of COVID and the economy was failing and everybody said it was bad. Probably why Trump lost. Well, not the only reason, but you get it. Here's a story from the Post Millennial Post.

A new poll from Rasmussen Reports has revealed that a majority of voters under the age of 40 approve of President Trump's job performance, over 10 points higher than those in the 40 to 64 age group. Now, I will say polling 40 and under, it's a weird number. We normally don't do that. We have demographic groups, right? So you have like 18 to 34, you have 35 to 54. To do 40 to 64 and 40 below, what you got to be careful of with these polls is that

Excuse me. They're going to choose blocks like Jeremy gerrymandering the poll because we could say 45 and under. Right. If we're talking about working age, you know, pre-retirement, we'd say 54. But then Trump's approval rating is not so good, is it? 40 and below does matter because you're talking about a younger cohort. But wouldn't we go 35 and below? I'm just saying, keep that in mind. And then we'll look at the aggregate data from civics, which is a different polling institution.

The poll found that a total of 60 percent of voters between the ages of 18 and 39 approve of Trump's job performance, including 35 percent who strongly approve. Overall, 35 percent of likely voters strongly approved of Trump's job performance and 15 percent somewhat approved. More voters in the youngest age group also said the country was heading in the right direction as compared to their two older counterparts, with 54 percent in the 18 to 39 age bracket responding as such.

In the 40 to 64 age group, 41% said the country was going in the right direction. 65 in the older group, 42% said it was on the right track. Now, here's what I want to show you from civics. If we go to Trump's job approval, what I will say right now, civics is a single pollster, and we need to consider the bias right here. And I mean it.

Five thirty eight, which is not a big Trump supporting aggregate. It's ABC News. Has Trump currently above water by point one? That's substantial. That's in aggregate. That's all of the polls. Look at it. You got polls from February 28th going back February 21st. You've got here, you know, a dozen or so polls swinging wildly across the board. RNG is saying Trump's up eight. CNN saying Trump's down four.

Who knows? Right. The point is, when you track Trump in aggregate, he is above water. When you go to civics, they have Trump down seven. So consider that as we go through these numbers. I don't think any single pollster is the best. That's why I bring this up, because as much as I do want to use civics to kind of break down how Republicans and Democrats vote and what they're currently supporting, it does appear that civics skews more in favor of Democrats.

Donald Trump approval, 18 to 34, 61% disapprove. Sorry, man. You're going to come to me and say that under 40 really do support Trump. And I'm going to roll my eyes a little bit and be like, I don't know about that. I know Gen Xers. If you're looking at like 50 years old to 40 years old or something like that, maybe.

But again, maybe if you throw in that 40 plus things skew pretty heavily. Still, when we look at 35 to 49 from civics, we can see Trump's approval at 54 percent. So this is what we have. Civics, you can choose to trust him or not. Rasmussen, to be fair, Rasmussen was considered to be one of the most accurate, if not the most accurate pollster in the 2024 race. So I'm going to give him that credit. Maybe they're right. Maybe these civics and these other companies don't know how to adopt their adapt their polling.

So let's take a look at the national economy. National economy. It's very funny. OK, so this has got one million fifty four thousand responses from the 15 from 2015 to 2025. Ten years. Isn't that crazy? So let's take a look at this. Election Day 2016. People said 38 percent fairly good economy. Trump gets inaugurated. All of a sudden people are loving it. The economy is doing really, really well. The coronavirus crash happens and all of a sudden everyone's saying things are going pretty poorly.

All right. Well, let's take a look at how Republicans viewed everything. When you take a look at the Republican polling going back a long time on Election Day 2016 before 45 percent, 47 percent, 48 percent of Republicans said the economy was very bad, with 36 percent saying fairly bad. That is massive, massive failure. We're looking at.

Eighty four percent of Republicans saying the economy was bad under Obama. Trump gets inaugurated and we begin to see a slow drop over the next couple of months. And I should say slow. It's rising rapidly as Trump over the next two months, because, again, we see the inversion, the inflection point increase.

About three, four weeks into Trump's first term, the economy is improving. So sayeth Republicans. Republicans got to the point where in January of 2020, 77 percent said it was very good. And then COVID happened. And all of a sudden, everyone said it was bad. I can respect that. Now, check this out. And in October of 2020, of 2020, 65 percent said it was fairly good. But that began to drop off.

And then these are Republicans, by the way, you get Inauguration Day. That number drops handily over a week or two to now. Republicans largely view the economy as fairly bad. You mean to tell me that you thought the economy was mostly good. Then as soon as Biden got elected, it flipped. Well, the funny thing is, it's not a big as big a swing as we've seen. It didn't peak to very bad until 2022. Things were pretty bad.

But the interesting thing about those those years is while Republicans certainly did follow a trend we expect from partisans, there were a ton of executive actions that were taken by Donald Trump, by Joe Biden. Sorry, that saw wages flatline and inflation skyrocket. There were a lot of actions taken in the immediate, such as shutting down Keystone Pipeline that had a dramatic effect instantly on the economy. But I will tell you this. I largely view it as Republicans were mad. Biden won.

Let's take a look at how Democrats handle things. Aha. Surprise, surprise. As of right now, you have the exact same metrics, but with Democrats, it's a bit more pronounced than Republicans. That's why I say Democrats are the cult. Republicans, we know, have their Trump culty guys. But largely, you have a coalition of moderates, post-liberals, classic liberals, et cetera, who don't completely agree on everything.

Before Biden left office, 50 percent of Democrats said the economy was fairly good and 20 percent said very good. And then I kid you not, within a week of Trump getting in, it completely flips. Are you kidding me? And now 34 percent say fairly bad. Only 7 percent say very good. I don't believe you. I don't believe you. And what we see here is it's a relatively new phenomenon.

During Donald Trump's first administration, Democrats actually thought the economy was pretty good. Fifty four percent. Fairly good. And then COVID happened and it went bad. And that is true. I guess what I'm saying, my friends, is.

The hyperpolarization, it's worse now. And the polling data ain't really breaking down for us what exactly is going on. I do think Democrats are morons for their cult-like behavior right now. Republicans, I do think it's fair to say a few things. That when a presidential administration flips, you will get executive orders and changes that happen quick in the short term. But right now, Democrats were saying everything was fine.

Don Lemon was going out interviewing people saying the economy is fine. The numbers say so. And now they're all saying the economy is bad because they were lying. OK, they were lying. This shows to me that Democrats largely follow the media. Don't get me wrong. Republicans don't get any free passes. I'm telling you. But for the most part, it's not as pronounced. Certainly it does exist. That is to say, y'all are both bad. Democrats are a bit worse. I love this among Republicans right now.

The amount that view the economy as very bad has dropped quite a bit. And now fairly good has jumped up. However, the people who think it's fairly bad...

Have only continued to say it's fairly bad. So right now, even though Republicans have won, Republicans are still saying it's fairly bad. The very bad cohort has dropped quite a bit, though, which is absolutely hilarious that after Election Day, it's not even Trump getting inaugurated. Trump wins. They're like, actually, the economy is not so bad. Partisans, man.

That's why I say, I don't know. Rasmussen does a pretty good job. OK, you know what matters? Are we going to win the midterms? Is Trump going to be able to bring about real change? But one thing I'll tell you is I got no problem calling out everybody. OK, when they play stupid games and they're playing partisan games, I'm gonna wrap it up there. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone. You know, comments. I need to know what you think.

And we got Tim Castarell coming up tonight, 8 p.m. Don't want to miss it. Tomorrow, State of the Union, although they're saying it's not really, but it is. Thanks for hanging out. We'll see you all tonight.
