Please thank Tim for his short monologue on how the media "frames" stories - i saw it about 5/6 years ago same time he was on Rubins show and Carl Benjamin gave him a plug on the Sargon channel. Ive always been right wing but until then i never really questioned the media to closely, now of course i realise they are full of shit!

Wow! Glad to see that you are interviewing Tim! Please ask him how he thinks Trump is doing so far and also how the Trump administration might deal most usefully with the panic that seems to be the overall reaction to any change in our federal government. Is there a way to make the needed changes and simultaneously let the public know that nothing necessary on the federal level will be forgotten or abandoned?

Hi Tim, the "Civil War" comment has almost become a meme on the show but seriously - as every year passes the actual chances of "something happening" increase, how would you rate that right now? I see they way you compare now to the timeline of the civil war and if you pick some moments a student in 2075 could easily say "well obviously it started with the (blanc) in 2020- that led to (blank) in 2024 and then in 2026 it all kicked off" we could already be in a cold one

The transgender movement seems designed to emotionally bully and shame people into accepting a form of doublethink. If you accept that transwomen are women, how is that different than agreeing that 2+2=5? Do you think there was deliberate intent to try to train the public into being amenable to doublethink? Could the doublethink have been the true point, and the transgender movement merely the means? (Which would be a horrible abuse of those suffering from gender dysphoria.)

Why has no one been able to create a viable competitor to youtube?

Tim, president Trump seemed proudly flattered that he'll be having a second unprecedented state visit to Britain to see the monarch. I'm probably like many Brits who are 'pragmatic loyalists' who saw the Queen and now King as 'diplomatic Exocets' who are, on behalf of the people, able to beguile, seduce and influence power and opinion to our 'will by measures'. Is this a "tender trap?" willingly entered, and do the American public also enjoy the seductive pageantry however transparent in it's aims?

If you are defining an "America First" foreign policy what are the factors (other than violence on American soil) that you believe make an issue "in America's interest"?

Please could you ask Tom Pool whether he's worried that the "woke right" as described by James Lindsay might become as problematic for Republicans as the woke left has for the Democrats?

If Tim had one place to move in the world, now as he is, where it would be and why.

Much love, and much respect from me

Would you agree with me that having a veteran from the Axis powers would make a good podcast guest?

red-china recently sent a battle cruiser, a destroyer, a supply ship, and most probably an accompanying submarine on a circumnavigation of Australia. This was an exercise in intimidation (It won't work!) and a learning exercise for future long-distance adventures. In essence, it is a threat to close or impede Australia's shipping lanes if Australia were to support Taiwan.

How long before red-china strikes Taiwan?

How long before red-china realises that they'll fail?

Given the increasing distrust of "government science" due to misinformation campaigns (e.g. they Wuhan lab leak theory can't possible be true), what can be done to rebuild trust in science?

FYI - Great summary here on dirty Fauci https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31190632/

Provocative question but does Tim have any thoughts as to why Russia were apparently willing to pay such a relatively large amount of money via Tenet Media to fund his podcast albeit unknowingly to Tim himself?

Basically in Tim's own view what benefit might Russia derive from the kind of content he makes?

Hi Tim! I've been following your work for some time. Given that we now know a lot more about the Whole of Society approach (thanks to the likes of Tablet) and we also know about the Censorship Industrial Complex from Taibbi and Shellenberger, do you now feel vindicated in your belief that America was in a state of Cold Civil War?

Also, I was originally a Lib Dem and a Remainer, and fairly left-leaning in American terms. Do you think the main thing that motivated many of us to join the broad tent coalition against woke was a combination of empirical truth-seeking and civil libertarianism?

Have you seen the clip where Angus Deaton schools Paul Krugman on immigration, tight labour markets, productivity growth and relative economic progress for Black people? I've looked at the economic data for the low immigration period in American history from 1924 and 1965/1980 and it does look as though productivity growth was about twice as high when America had tight labour markets.

Finally, what browser do you use? Many of the browsers have become a lot more curation heavy and hide information which the Left doesn't like. I've been using a combination of Google, Brave and the Grok 3 beta- are there any better tools I should use?

The discussion you had with Jack Dorsey on Rogan was fascinating and must have been revealing for those that weren't paying attention. What concerns if any, do you have of the current management of twitter/X and potential free speech risks on there?
