Tim decided to promote
The Culture War's new format, with a live audience, by inserting himself into debate negotiations.
Someone name "Pisco Litty", with
a following in the tens of thousands, claimed a slew of people, from the beanie boy to the Vice President of the United States, would not internet-debate him over the deportation of Kilmar Garcia:

Philosemite & friend of the show, Will Chamerlain, says that Pisco is a nobody, with nary any following. But if he made a $10,000 donation to the Wounded Warriors charity, he would consider an actual debate, otherwise "use the reply button":

Steven Bonnell comes in to offer to cover the $10,000 donation:

Then, Tim comes in to offer his newly reconfigured debate show to host it:

Steven declares his opposition to supporting a "Russian propaganda platform", & now says Tim can foot the donation bill, if he wants to:

Tim decides to up the ante, by stating he would donate $20,000, now, if Steven is withdrawing his offer:

& it looks like there is a preliminary acceptance from Pisco:

Tim had Tara Palmeri, a podcaster & journalist, as the guest.
Elad, Phil, & Shane were the co-hosts.
A good chunk of the episode was Tara & Tim arguing with each other, over multiple news topics, which became ever more grating as each would further agitate the other into making more combative statements. Elad, Phil, & Shane fall more into the background as the two swipe away: 27:16-1:37:28
Clip Collection:
-Tim confirms the 3 May
Culture War is going to be Will Chamberlain & Pisco Litty:
-Elad announces he shall be in the White House press pool for Donald Trump, & Tim is going to be "in the new media seat". After letting this slip, Tim asks if they were supposed to say anything, ahead of it, & Elad quickly moves the introductions along:
-Tim complains about how the Kilmar Garcia situation has been over-covered to the point of absurdity. Which makes him hosting a debate upon it, really humorous. Tim says they could have started the show with the second Signal story, instead, but claims it is nonsense, as well. The implication being Democrats attempting to sabotage Trump's administration via selective leaks & accusations. Tara pushes back upon this framing, & argues that the story is not coming from a leftist subversive, but a longtime Trump supporter. There is some good back-&-forth, but rather than let this continue, Tim decides to round things back to the Kilmar story. The same story Tim claimed was utterly unworthy of being talked about more:
-Tara is more of a normie liberal, as she does some both-sidesing, objects to illegal immigrants allegedly being denied their due process, etc. However, Tara admits to not knowing the specifics of the cases. Tim takes advantage of this chance to persuade someone of his position by...hectoring her, non-stop. The beanie boy reacts by becoming more & more wound up, as if Tara is insulting him, which only works to send her into a more defensive posture & needle him back, as the show goes on:
-As part of the escalating aggression, Tim tries to set up a hypothetical, asking Tara if she would report upon corporate malfeasance even though it may hurt workers. Tara said that she would, because it is a newsworthy story. Tim says that makes her a bad person, because she is willing to see people potentially lose their jobs for her story, & having been part of the mainstream media, she is deserving of being ruined, as well. Tara does not take this well, & in response, the beanie boy tells her to "Calm down". Which is a guaranteed way to ensure any woman shall not do that. Tim says Jonah Goldberg should have just announced his presence on the Signal chat, & made it into a story. Also, Tim calls out Tara for having "a myopic & morally righteous worldview", as if he has not been deriding poor, working people for not just quitting their jobs when he demands it:
-After more clashes, things finally begin to wind down during super-chats. Tim finally does what he should have been doing, all along. When the panel learns Tara is unaware of Donald Trump being misquoted in the wake of Charlottesville, Tim manages to keep his cool & explain what happened, by showing a Snopes debunking to convince her:
*Editing to add this clip I had trouble uploading*
-A super-chatter asks Tara the breakfast hypothetical:
-Tim, again, demonstrates the difference keeping a cool head would have had, by not getting riled by by Tara asking about when he last criticised Elon Musk & Donald Trump. While Tara had her own moments of boneheaded-ness, Tim dressed himself in no honours, with his behaviour. Tim, also, announces that he shall be recording his morning segments "from the White House". Tara asks what Tim's first question to Trump shall be, but he says he is not going there to meet him:
