TPUSA Halftime HITS NUMBER ONE w/ Scott Greer

10 Feb 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What record did the TPUSA All-American Halftime Show set on YouTube?

10.949 - 36.788 Tim Pool

The Turning Points halftime show is now officially the biggest U.S. live stream on YouTube ever. The current numbers are around 26, 27 million total viewers online. Peak concurrent viewership was somewhere around 10 million. And the true household viewership, it was about half of the Super Bowl. We're seeing all these numbers. They're saying, yeah, but Bad Bunny got 133.5 million viewers.

0

36.768 - 54.912 Tim Pool

OK, there is a big problem with those metrics. We'll get into all that during the show. But true household viewership, obviously, half the country is not watching this. It's around 46 or so million, a little bit more than well, a little bit less than half or actually wait a little bit more than half is what Turning Point USA got. So this is pretty big.

54.892 - 72.057 Tim Pool

There's a lot of cultural implications to this, and some people are saying it's like the Bud Light moment. No, seriously, there are people likening it to the engagement during Bud Light and the negative repercussions that will come from it. And so the question is, what happens next year? Does the NFL fall in line?

0

72.037 - 90.703 Tim Pool

Or does Turning Point USA just end up having a new yearly show with better production? We'll talk about that. There's actually a lot of other news to get into, but that's the dominating news story. There's a really interesting story that I'm really excited to talk about, and that is a press release which was drafted a day before Epstein died saying that he died.

0

90.683 - 112.462 Tim Pool

And I have questions about how you accidentally type out Friday, August 9th, 2019. That doesn't seem like a typo. And you wouldn't need a press release well after the guy died. So it's a very interesting story. We'll talk about that plus a whole lot more. Before we get started, my friends, we've got a great sponsor for you. It is Beam Dream. Head over to shopbeam.com slash Tim Pool.

112.802 - 131.702 Tim Pool

You can get the 40% off your nighttime sleep blend. It's for better sleep. I love Beam Dream. I drink it every single night. Not a joke. It's got L-theanine. It's got melatonin. It's got magnesium, reishi. And no joke, I sleep substantially better. I didn't even know I could sleep better. That's what was crazy. I thought I was pretty good. I got one of those sleep trackers.

132.203 - 149.98 Tim Pool

It was showing around like an 88, 90. And I'm like, hey, that's pretty good. You know, it's like, that's an A. You know what I mean? And then I started taking, drinking Beam Dream, a delicious cup of hot cocoa every single night, 15 calories, no added sugars. And my sleep score jumped to like 95. I actually had a 100 last month, which was really crazy. My sleep has been absolutely amazing.

150 - 160.77 Tim Pool

So if you're a dude, it's important because your body produces testosterone and HGH during REM and deep sleep. Take your sleep seriously. There are a lot of people that are trying to get fit. They're trying to work out. And you're missing a couple really big things.

Chapter 2: What cultural implications arise from the TPUSA Halftime Show's viewership numbers?

160.79 - 182.52 Tim Pool

That is hydration, obviously, and good sleep. And when you drink Beam Dream every night, you're going to get that. So go to shopbeam.com slash Tim Pool. But wait, my friends, a major announcement. Head over to castbrew.com right now and pick up your Dr. Alex Stein's Big Booty Latina Love Potion. Alex Stein is not a doctor. Not a doctor. Anyway.

182.5 - 203.223 Tim Pool

This is our Valentine's Day blend, which is available for all of you right now. It's a medium roast coffee. And it is Dr. Alex Stein's Big Booty Latina Love Potion. Alex Stein is not a doctor. And I can't say it fast enough. And it also says underneath it, guaranteed to spice things up in the bedroom. Not guaranteed to spice things up in the bedroom. And those are really important disclaimers.

0

203.243 - 224.016 Tim Pool

You can check it out. But this will be shipping out on the 13th. So we tried to get it done as quickly as we could. This is our new Alex Stein blend. I recommend you check it out. I forgot what the special—I think it's just like a blend. I don't know if there's a flavor to it. I think it's just like a medium roast. But it's for Valentine's Day. And it's just—it's funny. I don't know. Buy it.

224.236 - 239.896 Tim Pool

Have fun. It's for love. It's good. Yeah. So anyway, smash the like button, you know, share the show, subscribe to this channel, all of that stuff. Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Scott Greer. Thanks for having me on. Anytime, brother. What are you? Who are you?

239.916 - 258.424 Unknown

What do you do? I am a writer, podcaster and author. I run the highly respected sub stack at highly dash respected dot com. And I have a new book coming out in the summer called White Pill, the online right and the making of Trump's America. So get and preorder that if you have the chance. Right on. A lot's hanging out.

258.404 - 269.723 Scott Greer

Good evening, everybody. I am Elad Eliyahu, the White House correspondent here at TimCast. Good to be back on. I wasn't sure I'd ever be on IRL again, but I'm glad I am. Phil, how's it going? Got my hopes up.

269.743 - 275.232 Phil Labonte

Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary. Let's get into it.

275.212 - 302.637 Tim Pool

Here's the big story from the post-millennial. TPUSA's All-American Halftime Show becomes highest-watched U.S. YouTube livestream with 6.17 million concurrent viewers. This is massive. And it was not just that 6.17 million. That's the single channel number. When you combine the total concurrent viewership, it actually rivals some of the biggest livestreams ever done. Now, of course...

302.617 - 319.858 Tim Pool

you may be saying, well, hold on. There's got to be some bigger streams. That's a lot of people. Yeah, soccer, you know, internationally does really well. For the United States, this is the biggest YouTube's ever seen. And if you combine the, not using the Rumble numbers, but if you're saying just on YouTube, I think it's around like 9.5-ish.

Chapter 3: How does the viewership of TPUSA compare to the Super Bowl?

1163.794 - 1185.167 Tim Pool

But this is the move to get it back. Because like I was mentioning with advertisers, what happens when a company says, listen, You're asking me to pay you $5 million to hold up a sign in front of 26 million households as they walk by. The commercials come on, everyone runs to the bathroom, they go to the kitchen, they grab snacks. These are not people who are actively engaged with the promotion.

0

1185.728 - 1206.692 Tim Pool

The commercials are kind of gags. Everybody wants to watch Super Bowl commercial. In fact, some people watch it more for the commercials. Then you've got 27 million people in short notice decided to tune in to turning point of their own volition. So again... If I'm selling delicious pool water and you said it's $5 million for 26 million households during the halftime show, I say, okay.

0

1207.333 - 1220.622 Tim Pool

And then Turning Point says $5 million for our show where people have chosen to seek us out. I say, okay, I want that because your engagement is going to be substantially higher. Your conversions will be substantially higher and mission driven.

0

1221.244 - 1241.948 Tim Pool

The important thing you need to understand about what the pitfalls, the problems they're going to face is the Bad Bunny show was elitist driven and Turning Point USA is grassroots driven. So with. The NFL show, you have powerful elites saying we want Bad Bunny either because we want to promote his music, we want an international audience, and because he pushes a political message that we like.

0

1242.73 - 1268.759 Tim Pool

Regular people don't care. They are not driven to support that by some ideology. Puerto Ricans, maybe. So I wouldn't be surprised if they killed it in the Puerto Rican households. But... With our members at TimCast.com, you know, Rumble Premium members, you've got mission-driven engagement. These are people who are saying, I will pay $10 extra because it means so much more to me.

1269.24 - 1286.766 Tim Pool

The people who are going to buy a product watching the Super Bowl, you know, I saw a commercial for Vanda Pharmaceuticals, I think it is. They got those weird commercials. And it was... One of the creepiest commercials because it was just a white screen with their logo and people pointed out how creepy it was. Yeah, I don't care about your company. I've heard of it. Congratulations.

1286.846 - 1302.447 Tim Pool

I said your name. I'm not going to buy your product. I'm not going to ask my doctor about it. But imagine because I don't even know who sponsored Turning Point, but we know Turning Point as the principal name. How many people signed up for Turning Point because of what they just did? How much more money are they going to bring in? I'd imagine a lot.

1302.427 - 1311.407 Tim Pool

If Turning Point had a big sponsor promoting a product, I guarantee you more people are going to be buying it because the product is supporting something they care about.

1312.265 - 1330.445 Scott Greer

I also kind of wanted to be concise. I have my particular beefs with the Bad Bunny halftime show. I didn't like that it was all in Spanish. But all things considered, I think it was relatively tame. Because in other instances, Bad Bunny is a cross-dresser. Bad Bunny bitches about ice. But in the show, he didn't do any of the cross-dressing.

Chapter 4: What theories surround Epstein's disappearance?

3750.958 - 3766.738 Tim Pool

We have a general idea based on all these files of certain things he was doing. But if he's part of a network of elite pedos that are all friends with each other, maybe they rescued him. If he was a blackmailer, maybe someone he blackmailed wanted to kill him. If he was an intelligence asset, maybe they needed something he knew.

0

3766.758 - 3777.84 Tim Pool

If he is an extortionist, maybe he has a dead man switch and they had to save him. Otherwise, he would destroy their lives. There's 150 different reasons you could come up with as to why someone would want to get Epstein out of prison.

0

3779.373 - 3784.538 Scott Greer

One of the more fascinating parts, I think, of the Epstein Files, beyond who was in it, is who was missing.

0

Chapter 5: Who is missing from the Epstein Files?

3785.238 - 3804.876 Scott Greer

Fascinatingly enough, it was the neocons who are missing from all these files. You know who's not in the files, the Epstein Files? John Bolton's not in the Epstein Files. George Bush Jr. or Sr. not in the Epstein Files. Dick Cheney, not in the Epstein Files. John Bolton's not. Not in the Epstein Files. No, no, no. B.B. Netanyahu, not in the Epstein Files.

0

3805.096 - 3809.38 Scott Greer

Who is in the Epstein Files, though, and who's had extensive correspondence with him? Noam Chomsky.

0

3809.36 - 3813.804 Tim Pool

I think John Bolton does appear quite a bit.

0

3814.325 - 3817.007 Scott Greer

John Bolton's in the files? Oh, it's over for mustache.

0

3817.027 - 3830.941 Tim Pool

Yes, but we had to clarify. His name being referenced, not him. John Bolton appearing in them does not mean that John Bolton was friends with or doing anything with Epstein. It could just mean that they either talked about him or to him or something.

3830.961 - 3832.663 Scott Greer

These people weren't the people corresponding with him.

Chapter 6: What implications arise from Epstein's correspondence?

3832.683 - 3839.029 Scott Greer

But who was? People that we don't like to talk about. Noam Chomsky. I don't know why he gets a pass. He's on the plane with Epstein.

0

3839.009 - 3850.902 Tim Pool

I don't know why also Steve Bannon gets a huge pass. As we mentioned in our last meeting before our usual winter break, we are resuming. This is from an email to Jeffrey Epstein. We'll be hosting luncheons at the Four Seasons Restaurant to bring you to the same level of our world leaders.

0

3851.983 - 3881.281 Tim Pool

Anticipated for the event are briefings by John Bolton, R. James Woolsey, Charles Krauthammer, Ali Weasel, Karl Rove, Ehud Barak, Art Laffer, Michael Lewis, Andrew Roberts, Mark Stein, Douglas Murray, Geert Wilders, Theodore Dalrymple, David Goldman, etc., etc., etc. This is an email directly from a woman named Nina Rosenwald to Jeffrey Epstein. I don't see a BCC on it.

0

3882.102 - 3892.557 Tim Pool

It's probably a generic invite because she said dear friends. But they were inviting Jeffrey Epstein to come to a private luncheon. Is that what it is?

0

3892.537 - 3899.508 Scott Greer

Noam Chomsky is on the plane. Steve Bannon is making documentaries and has real extensive connections, too.

3899.729 - 3909.364 Tim Pool

Noam Chomsky is the best one that dropped out of all this. The hippie communist lefty hero emailing Epstein, I fantasize about your island.

Chapter 7: How does the episode conclude with discussions on modern culture?

3909.344 - 3911.287 Tim Pool

They're still defending him, too. Oh, of course.

0

3911.667 - 3914.591 Scott Greer

That's so fascinating. And you know, Noam Chomsky hated Israel.

0

3914.931 - 3920.559 Unknown

So, I mean, it's obviously... Well, he just fantasized about the island on an abstract, philosophical level.

0

3920.619 - 3928.089 Scott Greer

Let's search... Who's that scientist, too, with the keyboard? Elad... Stephen Hawking. Elad, how do I spell your last name? Eliahu, E-L-I-A-H-U.

0

3929.07 - 3933.716 Tim Pool

E-L-I-A-H-U? Okay. And your first name is... Elad. Two A's, right?

3933.996 - 3935.999 Scott Greer

One A when I'm trying to be secretive, though.

3936.52 - 3938.462 Tim Pool

You do not appear in Epstein's emails.

3938.903 - 3938.963

No.

3939.128 - 3950.586 Scott Greer

I mean, I feel like that kind of just means I'm irrelevant. Relevant people were in these files. I feel like it's important to say famous and influential people were the people who he was trying to interact with and ingratiate himself with.
