Tim had Luke Beasley, a Generation Z self-described "liberal" social media personality, as the guest.
Carter, Elad, Luke Rudkowski, & Phil were the co-hosts.
I am going to call the guest Gen Z Luke, for clarity.
This episode is a bit of an inversion on the one with Sam Seder. Tim gets to browbeat Gen Z Luke over their lack of proper research into topics, which is what Sam dinged Tim over. As the saying goes, "hurt people hurt people", & Tim was certainly stung by Sam's accusations, it seems. Gen Z Luke is also just as ready as Tim to not take a side, as he regularly trots out something to the effect of him not knowing enough to comment on something.
Clip Collection:
-Tim discusses the attempted attack on Nick Fuentes, asking if it is an example of what he calls "the Mangione effect", calling for public executions of people the left despises. Also, Tim is going to need to polish up his ad read segues, if he plans to become one of Ben Shapiro's acolytes:
-Luke is back, &
is in trouble with the IRS. So, he is selling limited edition merchandise & hoping people pay off his debts:
-Surprisingly, Luke does not care for Elad:
-This was the general level of debate, Gen Z Luke trying to bring up a study, from
the University of Maryland, to bolster his position & wants Tim to display it on-screen for the audience. Tim asks how Gen Z Luke defines "right wing", & Gen Z Luke asks Tim to pull up the study's definition to be as accurate as possible, but does not provide his own definition. Tim uses this to claim his guest has no examples. Rather than use the study Gen Z Luke brought up, Tim switches to
the ADL H.E.A.T. map to define right wing, & asks why this one only has one category for leftists acts, & multiple for right-wing acts:
-Here is the big moment being shared on
social media , to show how Tim completely upended Gen Z Luke. I regard this as being an example of Tim utilising the best of Steven Bonnell's debating style, hector your opponent & demand they live up to evidentiary standards you will not reciprocate. The issue of pardoning 6 January participants comes up, Tim does not accept Gen Z Luke's broad statement that Donald Trump allegedly advocated for pardoning violent offenders & being concerned with this. Elad tries to ask Gen Z Luke whether more Democrats opposed BLM riots, than Republicans did 6 January:
Tim becomes irate with Gen Z Luke, claiming he is "making a fascist argument" by siding with the government in their prosecution of 6 January defendants. Tim loses it, declaring that Gen Z Luke does not know "a man is in Brooklyn, for three years, without charge or trial", as an example of being fascist-supporting. I checked into this claim, & the first result using those terms in a search was for
Edward Jacob Lang. Though, he has been charged with
eleven criminal counts, including assaulting an officer that fell to the ground. & part of his delay in having a trial stems from waiting on a Supreme Court case involving another 6 January defendant that may see one of his charges (trespassing) dropped. Though Tim moves on to non-violent offenders, which was beyond what Gen Z Luke was discussing. Gen Z Luke sits silently as Tim unloads his bile upon him, with this clip ending at Tim, jabbing his finger, demanding Gen Z Luke explain why Enrique Tarrio is in prison, despite not being in Washington D.C. on 6 January:
Gen Z Luke begins explaining the government's case against Tarrio, but Tim is having none of it. To prove his point, Tim goes to his favourite source of information, Wikipedia, to see what it says. & shockingly, despite relying on it so often before, Tim finds fault in its sources for the articles on the former Proud Boy leader, so he says they are without merit:
-Elad attempts to lighten the mood, after the beanie boy's spluttering, by asking Gen Z Luke about him meeting Hunter Biden, only to be cut off by an upset Tim, saying "Right, dude, who cares...":
-Tim asks Gen Z Luke if he believed "Christina Hoff Sommers, too?" which the beanie boy says was the woman that accused Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault. When Gen Z Luke says he believes the accusation, but would need to refresh himself on all the particulars of the case, Tim tries to insult him by saying "What makes someone a liberal, or conservative, is whether they actually know what they are talking about". The best part? The accuser was named
Christine Blasey Ford. Tim did not know what he was talking about, nor did anyone else at the table correct him. Liberals, all of them:
-Tim continues to re-litigate the disaster that was the Sam Seder episode. Because Tim failed to cite regulations he wanted to reduce in that episode, the beanie boy now blames his failure to open a coffee shop as due to regulations, which should be repealed. Not Tim's poor decision to buy a historic building, without doing his due diligence on what would be required to bring it up to code, it was those darn regulators that saddled him with this mill stone of a venture. That is why it has been more than two years to make his first location open:
Bonus Bits:
-While Tim is getting into slap fights with Gen Z Luke, Ian is doing hard hitting research:

I would so prefer
Crazy Crossland's Chemical Class over what I had to slog through, this episode.
