Tim had two guest, this outing, with Liam Cosgrove, of
The Greyzone, & Rob Noerr, a social media personality.
Hannah & Libby were the co-hosts.
Unintentionally, Liam & Tim harkened back to classic western film tradition of white hats & black hats. Though both would be better off donning brown hats to represent the quality of their exchange.
*With the combination of Libby & a
GreyZone contributor, an inevitable clash over Israel-Palestine was bound to come. But as clipped, below, Tim would go all in combatting Liam, with Libby mostly silent, which was unexpected as she usually chimes in more when the topic arises. This is despite his loud & proud declarations to not care about the conflict: 55:47-1:33:25
Clip Collection:
-Early sign of the coming clash between Liam & Tim came over airline regulations & why service is so subpar:
-Liam tries to explain how Israel could drag the United States into a conflict, which Tim rebuts by citing a similar risk of a war with China over Taiwan, & says Liam has "Israel Derangement Syndrome":
-Tim says Ukraine is a greater risk & greater influence, as it is a large recipient of U.S. aid. Liam responds that Ukraine is more of a U.S. client, while Israel has more influence over the U.S., such as pushing for a war in Iraq. Tim says "It's the same thing". What galls me about this is that Tim has previously claimed that
if the United States goes to war with Iran, it may drag in Russia & China due to their relations with the Islamic Republic, which would result in World War III:
-Tim says Liam has "a bias, an obsession" with Israel influencing the U.S., by saying the U.S. is manipulating Israel into being "a massive base of operation" & "staging operation" to fight Iran. Tim brings up the Israeli weapons & manufacturing industry, & how it is not controlling the U.S. Military-Industrial complex, instead saying "we agree with them" on foreign policy:
-Tim "is done", because Liam is obsessed with Israel. Tim attempts to prove this by asking how many children died in Ukraine, & when Liam does not know, cites this as proof Liam is over-focused on Israel:
-Ian has apparently been talking about Israel off-camera, which Tim responds with claiming why does he know nothing about "Somalia...Sudan". Tim excuses Ben Shapiro's focus, because he is a Jew. Liam notes he is focused on this because it has the highest number of civilian & children dying, even if that does not matter to Tim:
-Tim, then, brings up Sudan to undermine Liam's point, citing the aid money & civilian casualties in that conflict. With both less aid going to Sudan & fewer civilian casualties, Liam adds the existence of AIPAC & lack of criticism of Israel's actions. Also, it appears Tim conflates
the humanitarian aid going to Sudan with
the military aid going to Israel, as being the same:
-A super-chatter sends in one calling him "Zioncast Tim", with Liam asking why Tim is not as harsh upon Benjamin Netanyahu as he is on Vladimir Zelenskyy. Tim says he does not care for "any single one of these countries" & continues to ask why people care so much about Israel. Liam cites potential ties between Jeffrey Epstein & Mossad as reason for him to be angry, & suggests Whitney Webb to guest an episode & explain this theory. Tim compares the Anti-Israel crowd on "X" to the DeSantis supporters, so you know he is steamed at them:
-Tim & Liam get their final parting shots in, over the TikTok bill:
