Video Summary
AI GeneratedThe speaker analyzes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (AOC) political trajectory toward a potential 2028 run, interpreting her decision to freeze her eggs as a strategic move to prioritize ambition over family. The discussion expands into a broader critique of \"woke\" ideology, the biological risks of delayed motherhood, and the Democratic Party's alienation of working-class voters through extreme social policies.
The question of who the Democrats are going to put forward in 2028 as their nominee for president
lingers. But now there is evidence that it may be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Now, for a long time,
she was a proud DSA member, and I think she still is. I don't know what she's doing with them.
But she recently came out and said Woke One was crazy. Now, talk about leadership. There's so
many people who embraced Woke One on the progressive side now trying to distance themselves from it.
They look downright nuts. You know, you're a liar or you're crazy. Pick which one. Right.
But that being said, AOC does seem to be a top contender for 2028, maybe as a VP.
I don't know about running as a president because you got the whole she's a woman thing.
And this is well, this is actually coming up. AOC reveals she's freezing her eggs,
leaving the door wide open to 2028. Run an interview with ABC's
Carl. ABC's Carl, is that is that all it is? He's called Carl.
Well, that being said, my friends, a lot to say about the idea of freezing your eggs.
You see, some 10 years ago, we saw this big media splash about working women in the 30s
who wanted to freeze their eggs to maybe have kids later. The reality is it doesn't work. I mean,
it can work, but there's a lot to break down politically, scientifically. Let me just put
it like that. Right now, the front runner is Gavin Newsom in the prediction markets,
but I don't know if that's going to play out. John Ossoff is doing really, really well.
And AOC is in third. But in terms of X factor and public persona, AOC has got it substantially more
than the other two. She just does. Gavin Newsom's a governor, but AOC is a national stage politician,
despite the fact she's just in Congress. John Ossoff, he's a senator, but I don't know if he's
going to be able to muster up that kind of charisma at the national stage. But then,
of course, AOC is a woman. And as much as all the feminists are going to say that sexist of you,
Tim, how dare you say it? No, I'm actually agreeing with you. I think there's a large
portion of men who will not vote for a woman president, and that will have an impact.
I think it was Gerald Ford is the quote where he said the first female president will be a VP.
Who takes on the presidency after the president is removed for some reason. Or it could be that
both parties nominate a woman. And then the only real big choices you get are going to be a woman.
So maybe. But with Republicans putting forward the likely, it's likely going to be J.D. Vance
or Marco Rubio. If AOC really is the Democrat nominee, I just don't see how the Democrats win.
And again, agreeing with a lot of these feminists. Tell me I'm wrong. On the right, however,
there is a possibility because Tucker Carlson is entertaining a twenty twenty eight run despite the
fact that they're all saying, no, it's not going to happen. Marjorie Taylor Greene saying, no,
no, no, Tucker, Tucker and this crew, they're putting together a third party.
But what will that accomplish? I tell you this, my friends, as we reported here on Timcast,
some was it now six months ago, the rumor in the beltway was that Trump's mega base would split in
two. The point being that Trump, he's the kingmaker. He's not going to lose the core
of his diehard base. They'll back him no matter what he says or does. But many libertarians,
moderates or otherwise, are breaking away from Trump because of the things that he's done.
However, moderate libs who did not like woke don't want to vote Democrat and don't want to vote
Trump. So how do you ensure they don't vote Democrat? Look, you've got a bunch of neocons
and old school conservatives who say they're voting Democrat and are pushing for this weird,
you know, weird woke ideology because they hate Trump that much.
But if they're given an alternative, you could potentially pull many people away from the
Democrats into this weird third party, in which case J.D. Vance only needs 35 percent of the of
the popular vote. I say this generally speaking, but 35 percent of the Electoral College to actually
win. So you could get Democrats at 30 percent. You could get the new third party, whatever that's
going to be at 30 percent. I know it seems like a long shot, but let's put it this way. Let's let's
let's drop the three, three, three. Right. That seems a little crazy. Let's say J.D. Vance was
only ever going to get 46 percent, 44 percent. Not very good. Trump got forty nine point seven
or something in twenty twenty four. Let's say the Democrats were going to get forty five to J.D.
Vance's 42 and everyone else was just pissed off. Right. Along comes this third party that says no
foreign wars, no to Israel and the moderate Democrats who don't like woke break. And you end
up with Democrats at 40, third party at seven or eight. And then you end up with J.D. Vance at 45,
just enough to squeak by, just enough to squeak by. But we'll see. We'll see. Let's break down
the news right now and see exactly what's going on with AOC. Talk about the science of freezing
your eggs and where we're currently at. Before we get out of my friends, head over to Timcast
dot com and click join now to get in the discord community. Every day I come into work, I break
down the news. I challenge what I see as lies and manipulations from the media. And I know most of
you agree that's why you watch. And so I ask you today to be the change that you want to see in
this world. I know you're watching this because you care. We are in an off season. Most people
aren't paying attention to politics. But you, my friend, you've stayed. You've watched and you said
I have to see. I have to know and I have to pay attention because it's the only way we can make
a difference is when we know what's happening in this world. But maybe for many of you, you don't
know what else to do. We'll make it simple. You join our community of tens of thousands of people.
You hang out with them. You share your ideas. You join the fray simply through communication.
But as a member, you are supporting the work that we do here, the videos that I make,
and we cannot do it without you. So this is how you can be the change. You work your job. You
maintain the economy. You work hard every day. Let us do the having lifted heavy lifting. When you
and be that change. Let's jump into the big breaking news. AOC reveals why she's freezing
her eggs. Let's roll tape. Let's let's roll it from the beginning. Let's roll it with audio.
We're almost out of time to get to your future. I'm sure you saw the poll in New Hampshire
that had you as the leading candidate, leading choice for Democrats. First,
are you are you going to run for president? I mean, I I'm focused on winning the midterms.
I'm running for Congress. But I mean, you see, this is something
you said you're open to it. This is a possibility. I haven't. Well, I haven't ruled out the
possibility. And I'm very humbled to the tremendous amount of support out there.
I think that we have a responsibility to remain focused on the midterms and
not on our individual aspirations or plans and running for Senate against Chuck Schumer.
Is that also something that's possible? I mean, I think that anything is possible
at this juncture. All right. And then before you go, you did have a.
No, it isn't. Let me just interject real quick before we get into the eggs freeze.
So let me just say the egg freezing thing is coming up next. I'm not trying to bring
this up to insult AOC or anything like that. But I think it is indicative that she intends
to work really hard on campaigning. And I think it's evidence that she's preparing a 2028 run
that may be Senate. But I'm going to lean towards VP because honestly, who else do they have?
She would be she would be a good VP, not a president, but she's going to bring a lot of
energy and a lot of followers and a lot of money right now. I believe she's trailing only second
to John Ossoff in fundraising, which is nuts. This lady is a rising star. But hold on there.
It's 2026. We're two months out. We're three months out from the midterms.
If you're saying it's possible you run for president, that begins in six months.
This means that she's already had conversations with prominent individuals about donations,
about strategy, which means she's not just leaving the door open.
There have there has to have been some at least minor preparations, discussions or planning.
They are considering something legitimate. And I'm going to add, she doesn't need to freeze her
eggs if she's going to just stay in Congress. With all due respect, there are a lot of people
in Congress who've had babies. You want to be president or Senate. That's going to be a much
more arduous task. A personal announcement that you made. It was interesting to see you kind of
open up and, you know, on Instagram Live, I believe. So tell me tell me what it was and why.
Yeah, you know, I think it's important for us to normalize these conversations,
especially in this political environment. The Trump administration has.
Remind us what the announcement was.
Yeah, sure. So I have decided to start the process of freezing my eggs. And in this political
environment where this administration is denying reproductive care to women across the country,
from abortion rights to the ability to carry out a healthy pregnancy.
I think it's important for us as leaders to have these conversations and share these
processes, especially for working women across the country and normalize them.
OK. All right. AOC is 36 years old. My heart breaks for her. Every day I wake up and I hear
my daughter yelling and singing and doing whatever. And this is most of, you know,
I had my first child only just nearly. It's almost two years ago. It's a year and a half,
year and a half or so, a little bit more. No, actually, about a year and a half ago.
And I'm old. I'm 40. I'm a guy, though, so it's a little bit different. But I honestly wish
that I had taken it more seriously and I'd better guidance when I was younger,
because the truth truth be told, I was able to have kids when I was in my early 30s and
wealthy and successful and running this podcast. And it just it wasn't a social priority.
It kind of was, but it was just it was a backburner thing. And I feel I feel, you know,
AOC, she's I believe she's 36 years old. Let me make sure I get get her age right.
I'm not trying to be a dick. I'm trying to be mean. I believe. Yeah, she's 36. She'll be 37
in October after 35 years old for a woman. It's called a geriatric pregnancy. It means you are
old and success is going down. Complications are going up and it's dangerous, which would
mean that if AOC really does want to have kids, this is not the way to go about doing it,
especially considering that freezing your eggs has a massive failure rate.
It just doesn't really work. So my heart breaks for I believe there's a strong possibility that
AOC will never have children. And, you know, as someone who had kids late, I mean, it's it's it's
my heart breaks if you know, I want people to have kids because I think it's important for
their long term thinking. And I just think it's one of the greatest things that anyone can do.
It's what the greatest thing a human being can do. It is the it is the apex of civilization.
And that just seems so obvious because you don't have civilization without people.
I've met many people. I have a bunch of friends. They're about my age or a little bit older.
One, a couple of friends of mine have many kids and they talk about how they wish they could have
more, but they're just old now. And it's like they had as many as they could and they loved it.
Another friend of mine said that, you know, he's the same age as me and he's already got
three kids. And he said, yeah, I just I don't want to be ancient with, you know, young kids.
And I'm like, hey, hey, yo, hey, come on. I'm over here. You know what I mean? I got kids, too.
I just had a daughter and I'm 40, you know, so I feel grateful that my family and I finally
got to get started. And I know a lot of millennials struggled in this economy and still do.
Culturally, economically, it's very difficult. So I see this story of AOC. She wants to be
president. I don't blame her for running or for wanting to run. And I think she has x factor
that many other candidates do not have. She may actually be a contender for a VP or at least for
the Senate, for sure. I mean, that is something she could definitely win. Schumer is on the way
out. They might come to her. You know what I think might happen? I think they might actually
go to AOC and tell her, look, don't be VP. Wait, go for the Senate. Schumer is on the way out.
I absolutely think AOC winning the winning the Senate is it's I'd give it like an 80 percent
if she actually did run. You take a look at the cal, she metrics for the prediction markets.
You can see Newsom's at 17. AOC has actually, I guess, as of the recording of this video,
she's overtaken Asaf. Because when I when I pulled this up, I don't know. Actually,
no. Yes, she overtook him today. She just overtook him. Wow. Look at this. We're watching
in real time. Asaf just fell to 14 to AOC's 15 percent. Amen. The story's coming out.
It's getting big. But I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. The first thing I want to do
is cover the IVF stuff for the cultural issues. I asked Grok list IVF success rates by age starting
at 36 and till 50. And we can see that from 35 to 37 to 38 to 40 percent live birth rate. That's
an important way to draw a distinction here from 30 to 40 goes to 25 to 26, 41 and 42, 12 to 13,
and after 42, 4 to 4.5. If AOC is 36 years old and freezing her eggs now, the question is why?
I mean, look, at 37, 38, you can still have a natural pregnancy. You don't need to freeze
your eggs. It sounds like she's thinking she might want to get pregnant 41 or 42,
in which case the success rate for a live birth, it's 12 to 13 percent. So what they do is they'll
fertilize a bunch of your eggs. They will then implant them and they'll do a lot. They do like,
I don't know if they do like six or 10 or whatever, because they don't know how many
are actually going to attach, actually successfully implant. In which case, regardless of how many
embryos they implant, there's still only a live birth rate of 12 to 13 percent.
So I worry about this when AOC is advocating for this. Let me pull up this from Newsweek.
AOC turns on woke for president. She has walked back. We'll come to that in a second,
but they show the video of her doing the injections to begin the process.
I fear that what she is doing will encourage other women to do something that is not going
to actually work out for them. And I give you this horrifying story. This is from Bloomberg
Businessweek in 2014. Freeze your eggs, free your career. This one on the cover,
froze your eggs. And what happened next is a horror story. The National Post. Cruel twist
of fate for a single woman who froze her eggs in her 30s to free her career. This is very sad.
This story is from 2018. Bridget Adams caused a sensation when she appeared on the cover of
Bloomberg Businessweek under the headline, freeze your eggs, free your career. She was single and
blonde, a Vassar graduate who spoke fluent Italian, and was working in tech marketing
for a number of prestigious companies. Her story was one of empowerment.
Adams remember feeling a wonderful sense of freedom after she froze her eggs in her late 30s.
Despite the $19,000 cost, her plan was to work for a few more years, find a great guy to marry,
and still have a house full of her own children. Things didn't turn out the way she hoped.
In early 2017, with her 45th birthday looming, and no sign of Mr. Right, she decided to start
a family on her own. She excitedly unfroze the 11 eggs she had stored and selected a sperm donor.
Two eggs failed to survive the thawing process. Three more failed to fertilize.
That left six embryos, of which five appeared to be abnormal. The last one was implanted in
her uterus. On the morning of March 7th, she got the devastating news that it too had failed.
This is a horror film. Guys, you can watch a horror movie and see a murderous guy go and
slash people up, or a demon rise from the depths and drag a woman to hell.
But that's fake. I mean, for the most part, right? Who knows? I guess the slasher stuff is real,
right? This woman followed the advice of the feminists. She will never have children.
And I want you all to understand something very important. If you, yes, you right now listening,
do not have children, you will be the first in your lineage, spanning thousands,
for those that are religious, to billions of years, the first to not reproduce. Every single
person, creature, entity, whatever you describe it as going back to the dawn of time,
reproduced successfully to bring you. And you will be the end of all that has been in that line.
That was one of the scariest things that, you know, I thought about this when I was younger.
It's kind of a crazy thing to realize. Now, for those that are more religious, you believe that
the earth is several thousand years old. You will be the first in your lineage, going back to the
dawn of time. So regardless of how old you think the earth is, you will be the first from the dawn
of time to not have children. I remember that story about Chelsea Handler and how she said that
she's childless and she's, you know, in her 50s or whatever. She wakes up, does drugs, and
masturbates. I'm not trying to be a dick. This is what she said she did. And I described it like this.
I fear for her. I fear for our country and civilization, what happens to these people
who don't have children, to be honest. But I fear for her because there will come a time when she's
in a hospital. The doctor will walk in and he'll say, I'm sorry, Ms. Handler, but it is metastasized
and it is terminal. Is there anyone you'd like us to call for you? And she's going to look around
and say, no, no. And the doctor will say, we're here if you need anything, you can press the
button. And the doctor will leave and she will sit in her cold, sterile room, staring at the wall,
alone, forgotten, and dying. There's another alternative, another world in which she had
children. She doesn't and she can't. She's too old now. Again, I'm not trying to be mean.
But in another reality, in another life, Ms. Handler is sitting in that bed.
The doctor walks in and says, I'm sorry, Ms. Handler, but the tests have confirmed it has
metastasized and it is terminal. Your family will enter now and see you. And then her grandkids,
her kids, their cousins, in-laws will come in the room and they'll cry and she'd say, it's okay.
It's okay. And the family will say, we'll never forget you. Your memory will live on.
And she'll be surrounded by those that she loves and she'll get hugs and she'll pass on peacefully.
I feel like that says a lot about who I am. Cause you know, maybe she doesn't care.
Maybe she's like, you kidding? When the doctor comes in and says I'm dying, I'll say,
crank up the morphine. Yeah. Maybe she'll be fine with it. Maybe some of you watching this
are laughing saying you think I'll care. I don't care. It's like Danny DeVito when it's always
sunny. Is that what you're going to do with me when I die? Throw me in the trash. I always thought
that was really funny. Throw me in the trash. No, you can tell about the values that I got.
Uh, I think it is the utmost of nightmare scenarios is absolute hell to be lying on that bed told
this is the end and no one cares. That's terrifying. Hey, but look at me, narcissistic or whatever,
you know, whatever you call it, talking to a camera, wanting everybody to see what I have
to say. How about that? You know, it's true. I'm not going to deny it. I, I, I deeply fear
the, the, the absence of the human condition as it were, that we live for humanity. That's,
that's what motivates me. I don't go outside. I'm not motivated by what the rocks want and they
don't want for anything as far as I can tell, nor am I motivated by what the frogs want.
Frogs are cool. I guess I don't care. I care about what people do, how society functions,
and I care about what people think. Now let's be real. When I say like, I don't care about people
think of me. I'm saying, generally speaking, for the most part to the haters, the liars,
the deceivers, I don't care what you think to my friends, to my family, those that I care about.
I try to do right by them and I want them to think highly of me. I want to inspire those who believe
in me as best I can, but to the haters and the ideologues and the far left wackaloons and all
that stuff. Yeah. You know, it is what it is. They're going to hate you. I see this story of
Ocasio-Cortez. She wants to be the president, the Senator, the careerist, and she would sacrifice
the most important things to do it. That's crazy to me. Let me play this clip for you.
Let's talk about woke. Standing is that, um, is, is that Francesca Hong has made clear
her present stances to her. She's moved away from right. She's moved away from it. And I have a
local city councilman that has this, uh, uh, saying woke one was crazy.
And I think that what's important is that standing. So you've got this, uh, woman.
She's a running in, in Wisconsin and they think she's going to win.
And she said a whole bunch of crazy things. Like she wants to ban Thanksgiving because woke
one they call it was crazy. AOC turns on woke four positions. She has walked back. Let's go.
What do we got? What do we got? What do we got? Where's claim number one? Woke one is referring to
wokeness and George Floyd. Indeed. What has she said about it? She's a called for defunding the
police. Defunding police means defunding police does not mean budget tricks or funny math.
It does not mean moving school police officers from the NYPD. She has since largely abandoned
defund police. Should I believe that she's an honest person? Abolish ice. She's not changed
her mind on ice, uh, which is a statement given last year between 18 and 2020. She, uh, rose to
prominence calling for the complete abolition of ice. She called it a last year, a rogue agency
that should not exist while she remains a strong critic. She has shifted her focus towards advocating
for increase in federal aid to cities, insurgent primary war warfare versus democratic party unity.
I won't, I don't think that's fair to call that woke foreign policy early in her tenure. AOC
aligned strictly with traditional left-wing anti-interventionism since then she's voted in
favor of major us foreign assistance packages, including military humanitarian aid. Will she
run in 2028? Yeah, probably. Yeah. It's about a July poll that found that she was a leading Democrat
in 28. She says, I haven't ruled at the possibility. I'm very humbled to the tremendous amount of
support there. Indeed. Okay. So here's what woke one as a reference to, and why I say this people
come to me and say, Tim, is there a Democrat you'd consider voting for? Excuse me? And I'm like, no,
I'm sorry, dude. If you came out and advocated for child sex changes at any point,
like I'm, I'm, I'm not cutting you any slack. Okay. Even Joe Scarborough.
So another example in Wisconsin voters in Wisconsin head to the polls tomorrow
to decide the democratic nominee for governor state representative. Francesca Hong is currently
the front runner in the race, but the democratic socialist has faced scrutiny for past social media
posts, including one calling for Thanksgiving to be canceled. Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez of New York, who has declined to endorse any candidate in the Wisconsin gubernatorial
primary weighed in on the race yesterday. Francesca Hong, who is the democratic socialist.
So we, we know this already. Let's jump ahead and get the response from our,
you know, I mean, MS now far lefties, right? That, that, that, that, that may be a quote,
that might be the newsletter quote of the day. It's a t-shirt. Woke one was crazy. Yeah. You've
got your headline. Woke one was crazy. Hong faces a challenge from Milwaukee County
executive David Crowley, who was endorsed by outgoing governor Tony Evers. All right. So,
so listen, uh, Jonathan Amir, first of all, there's no great conspiracy here.
The reason why more people are talking about the DSA right now is because you have the mayor of
the most important city in America who first of all has identified as DSA. He's proven to be,
I think, extremely pragmatic in many ways. And while, uh, there are a lot of people who
despise, uh, how successful he's been, his approval ratings are high, uh, murder rate,
the lowest I think it's ever been on record. Uh, the economy, we're going to be reading something
from the financial times talking about actually how New York city is thriving right now based on
just about every metric. Um, but you also have people in New York city that have been saying,
uh, some whacked out things. Uh, I think most mainstream voters would say they're whacked
out things. They're talking about going to pro Hamas rallies the day after Hamas slaughtered
more Jews than on any day since the Holocaust. I think 90% of Americans would think that is
abhorrent. And so, you know, again, they'll try to blur the lines. Oh, well they just don't
support healthcare for all or all. No, no, we're not saying that we just support hate speech and,
and, and, uh, but it is, it is also very important though. Why are we talking about DSA now?
Because the democratic party has a choice to make. Now I said this day in and day out leading
up to Kamala Harris's election, you couldn't watch an NFL game without seeing 300 taxpayers
are going to pay for trans surgeries for convicts ads on NFL games. Yep. And even though they still
pretend that did not move viewers. I think that, I think the Trump campaign spent $30 million on
those ads and it moved working class men, working class, white men, working class, black men,
Hispanic. It just did. And the Democrats had their head in the sand.
So there was nothing wrong with the Democrats supporting economic justice. There's nothing
wrong with the Democrats supporting, uh, you know, cutting taxes are, are, are getting rid
of the Trump taxes and making billionaires pay more in taxes. That's legitimate. That's a legitimate
mainstream debate for people to have healthcare for all healthcare is unaffordable.
That is something most Americans would agree with, but please, I don't need people telling me,
Oh, you, you, you, you have to just turn a blind eye to people saying that women
getting raped on October 7th, didn't matter in the grand scheme of things that no Americans
aren't going to support that. This is not about me. This is about the Democrats. Once again,
fumbling the football on the two yard line, when they have a chance to make great gains,
but being so, okay. I just can't listen to this guy anymore. I am so sick of all of these people.
I said it before, I'll say it again. You guys, for those of you that have watched my content
going back a long time, you know that I said they used to call me on the left. I was the darling
during occupy wall street, occupy wall street provided me security from their volunteers
to protect me from these left, wackaloons wearing a left alones, wackaloons wearing all black who
physically attacked me. And I believed in free speech. I was praised because I filmed people
vandalizing police cars. I didn't did intentional. I don't walk up to them. I'm going to film you.
I was walking down the street, saw them doing it and I was filming and they screamed and they
physically attacked me. I told them no transparency matters. Free speech matters. What happens
matters. And I got a bunch of praise for them. Liberals were celebrating me, asking me to speak
at their events. And then one day they got mad because they all changed and we know it.
They went from the party that was about free speech and opposing the corporate machine and
getting more money to the working class to, I don't know, BLM, everyone's a white supremacist,
trans and the kids. Yeah. Okay. And so then I became conservative, even though my positions
have largely stayed the exact same, except for like maybe, you know, lesser on gun control over
the past 10 years. And it will come about that the right will probably, you know, as many of them
already have, they don't like you've got the Tucker Carlson crowd, the Candace crowd, you know,
whatever it is. These shifts happen and we are watching this shift right now. So when he comes
out and says the Democrats could make gains, I say maybe if you guys were consistent and not just
liars, you would. The Democratic Party entertaining these lunatics, it's your own fault. Maybe y'all
should have done something about it at the time. Now, I think the Republican Party is having their
battle, whatever, a realignment is happening and we'll see where the chips lie. But when they come
to me and say, Tim, would you consider voting for a Democrat like AOC? Oh, you think it's funny?
AOC say woke and was crazy. That was you. Okay. That was you. So I'm not interested in your
support for transing, giving sex changes to children. And when we called out the weird
sexualized books they were sending to kids and y'all defended it, I will not forget. And that
means when AOC runs, everything she has ever said is fair game in those hit ads. Same thing for this
Francesca Wong. So we'll wrap it up there, my friends. Welcome. Welcome to the latest development.
