949 - Big Beautiful Swill feat. Tim Faust (7/7/25)

Shout out to Tim. He rules

RE: Who is a person obsessed with race and IQ with actual accomplishments? I vaguely recall that one of the DNA helix guys, James Watson, is a race and IQ guy, but also he famously stole a lot of the credit for that discovery from Rosalind Franklin.

The Dems and Republicans have broken the social contract... the masses are coming for you.

Where is yesterday's episode/950?

Jim Justice spun tha block

Joe Manchin is gone bro 😭😂

The Liam Neeson film Honest Thief (2020) has come out on UK netiflix and has gone to number 2, prime potential chapo review

Tim @ 25:05 is 🔥🔥

"I'm not phoenicians" - Felix (Jewish)

The paperwork requirements also serve to convince these same people that government healthcare sucks. In this way it serves as a propaganda win, the worse it is.

I don't get the Rupar hate? But still agreeing with the message? He doesn't feel like a Pod Jon to me .. the clips are helpful (rage bait maybe but also informative). What's the issue?

Tim is a fantastic guest. Appreciate that he doesn't always take the bait on the most inflammatory takes but doesn't shy away from the most serious consequences of the current situation.

Great ep. Gentle critcism: please don't use the t-slur, even to point out how hateful someone else is for using it. If his handle had the n-word in it, you wouldn't repeatedly say his full handle for emphasis. No hate, all are doing great work.

“PHILLY-o-Semite”?

Alright, I have figured out how elite opinion defines African American. If you are a descendant of the original slave population, you are in. If you are a descendant of someone from sub-Saharan Africa and live in America, you are in. The same does not apply if your ancestor was from Egypt or if you are from a diaspora population living in sub-Saharan Africa. Have I got this right? The upshot is that Obama can say some of the wildest shit ever about black people ("stop watching ESPN and raise your damn kids!") while Zohran cannot correctly fill out a census form without being ridiculed by the world's smuggest editorial board.

Dont really expect anyone to go to the effort of reading this (a real 'congratulations or sorry that happened to you' kinda post). But it helps me process things to speak or type them. So, dor what Tim says about getting on disability, I'm in Australia where the healthcare system is widely lauded and welfare state is somewhat okay. It took me four applications across 3.5 years to get disability. I got paperwork from my rhematologist, psychologist, GP, Psychiatrist, four discharge summaries from times where I had to be picked up by an ambulance and was hospitalised. I got knocked back. Being unable to afford to see a specialist directly I had to wait 6 months to get into the pain clinic and get paperwork from them. Then I resubmitted it all again. Then they said, the stuff from my rheumatologist was out of date (when talking about a lifetime diagnosis. Where the best I can hope for is remission, but I'll always have it to some degree). So I saw them, got new paperwork, along with new stuff from my GP psychologist and psychiatrist. Then I waited three months to get a call from a physician who works for Centerlink to call me. He interviewed me, said I was a solid candidate, then I had to wait FOUR months from a call similar, except a psychiatrist not Physician. When she decides to call me, I was in an appointment with another doctor so I missed the call, I had to wait 11 weeks to schedule a call back. Then I got rejected (after waiting three months again) then something similar again. Ultimately, I had to collect another fresh round of that paperwork, along with taking out a PAYDAY LOAN to see a pain specialist and psychiatrist who specialised in adult psychological disabilities and get paper work and submit it again. So it took nearly four years, ages of of gathering paperwork, a total of 20 months waiting for me to be cleared and processed through various stages of the bureaucratic process, having to wait for phone appointments with these people or those, ELEVEN hospitalisations in that time period and 880 fucking dollars to finally get on a payment that keeps my head BARELY above water. Point being, if it's like that here, my heart goes out to folks in The States. I can't imagine how hard it already was and how much harder it's about to become. My heart breaks for those people.

love you guys, thank you for still having on experts esp about something as important and complex as healthcare.

Not that big a deal but would help Tim if he didn’t answer questions like Beto (i.e., talking about someone he met at a gas station once)

Hope I’m wrong but I see “Medicare for whites only” happening before Medicare for all

these days I'm wondering if they're going to be able to put everyone in concentration camps in time for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles or it's going to be a constant open pogrom on international travelers

time until Tim drops his customary totally unnatural f-bomb in an attempt to seem cool on the hip new podcast chapo trap house: 13 minutes 54 seconds

Hebophilia, actually

as someone who says the F word a lot, i appreciate how much Tim uses the F word

More specifically, some type of OBGYN that’s a female. That’s a really good perspective. It’s shocking to me how many nurses and doctors voted for trump. It’s depressing

Would love chapo to get a healthcare worker on at some point.

I remember going out with this girl who lived off medicade and this honestly makes me feel scared for her

JD Vance’s next book “Hillbilly Eulogy, the solution to a culture in crisis.”

Good thing I got kicked off of Medicaid months ago, eh?

I'm not American, so idk what a good or a bad SAT score is. Just that talking about a 30 year old's SATs is PATHETIC

I NEED to see that missile shield!

Love closing out with some Mudhoney!

My mom works at a county healthcare system as a social worker. She may lose her job and the countless people she helps will now just be fucked and die I guess

anybody have the porno eugenics guy's contact info. I wanna see my Columbia file for when I run for dogcatcher on a "space lasers for lebanon" platform.

Wait honestly what is even theoretically wrong about Mamdani's ethnicity checkbox lol? Isn't he literally of African and Indian descent?

On the topic of immigration in agribusiness, chicken processing plants hire mostly undocumented people, and in order to keep wages low will call immigration anonymously. Cool stuff

Shoulda called the ep One Foot Over The Line Sweet Jesus

Mike Israetel is the only person I know of who talks about race and IQ and isn't a total loser, but also he may have made himself stupid with steroids. He legit said AI made him cry with how human-like it's become.

Taleb vs Felix deadlift competition live show when?

Throwing in Mudhoney for us ancient millennials.

Will is right. Good cop, bad cop is correct. Faust says he doesn’t want to imply that Democrats supported this bill, having just described their total abdication of duty, ASIDE from zesty speeches on the House and Senate floor. All the Democrats have to do is deliver a sassy rebuke of the bill in (planted, hopefully viral) videos and register hopeless votes against it. These one-act morality plays preserve their brand without requiring a genuine application of pressure behind the scenes. This is the architecture of neoliberal PR. Democrats have massive networks of influence and a model of minority party success provided by Republicans, and yet they’re utterly toothless. Why? Because there is NO ideological warfare between Republicans and Democrats. Because the permanent contradiction at the heart of the Democratic Party is this: all of the popular, progressive policies they claim to support are ferociously opposed by their donors and favor-dealing lobbyists. As long as that contradiction exists, they will move right and punch left. For EVERY elected Democrat who accepts donations outside the grass roots model and plays ball with lobbyists, the appearance of opposition is theater. Heads. Spikes. Walls.

Tim so badly wants a Democrat party we can be proud of.

Who the fuck gave Will the T-slur pass? Bro’s saying it with no hesitation. Hesse, I’m coming for you!! /hj

Can anyone enlighten me as to what Mamdani should've put for his race if not Asian/African American? I feel like it's not exactly the most wide-ranging options most of the time, and he comes from a diverse background no?

I would support this current administration if they actually develop a Metal Gear, but so far we are only on track to develop the Patriot AI so no thank you buddy

Hell yea Elena.

I will wait til the paywall comment section to ask about guns.

We should start a Defense of Israel party and get Democrats and Republicans to join. To get their platform maximum possible exposure for how popular it is. Take the ambiguity out of it.

I've been on Medicaid for 18 months now and it fucking rules, literally fixed a limp that I was walking around with for 4 years. Also, the streaming services are becoming healthcare-ized because now Hulu and Netflix lock out my home IP as being "not in the household" and I have to contact support just to watch my stories, so a coupon to watch Bosch would actually be a pretty good deal

“Passive Aktion T-4 ” 😆😆😞

Finally Felix has a friend to talk to.

Taking a huge hit from the wonk pipe

Creamy takes his nom-de-phrenology from a French colonial race law in Algeria. Deep creep cut.

Tim Faust is a great guest

i'm a 35 year old who lives with his mom & only works part time. sorry guys, this one is on me, my bad.

we may be culling poor people and kidnapping children but at least we'll use that money to build the least interesting ace combat superweapon

Mamdani is from Uganda no? So he is African. Is there controversy around this? Not all African Americans are Black. Shocking as this may be to people. Race is as made up as gender though engaged with more honestly in that it understands you can't totally control the perception of others which ultimately defines it. For more information, see the body of work of one Solomon Chow.

They say that murdering the families of the 1% won’t matter, but I feel like no one’s really given it any concerted effort

I'm afraid they're gonna JFK Zohran. The people who want him to lose, also want him dead. *All* of them.

As a former theater kid I can’t agree with Felix more. Theater kids grow up to be real estate agents or lead an insurance or dentist office, they are NOT writing articles.

As much as Tim is convinced of the importance of explaining that the healthcare bill is bad and that it has very direct consequences for a huge portion of people, the remarkable thing is just how resistant people have been to this kind of information. From the huge number of stories of people with deported spouses weeping and saying that they would still vote for Trump again, or just how much cognitive dissonance we find in our own parents, the dominant motive in the boomer brain is simply to not get owned. They will cut off their own hand rather than that.

This hit real close my mom is actually going to her disability meeting today to see if she finally qualifies after 2 years of Dr appointments and mountains of paperwork if I wasn't living with her I can't even think of how she would survive

Are you opening an Planet Holywood, or are you an elected public servant.

"Elon Musk is 'African-American'. Checkmate liberals" "Why Zohran Mamdani claims he's 'African-American'!

the demanded perfectionism from such failed sad people, people who revel in telling everyone "theres actually people worse off, so..." at the Lower/Middle Class Children With Cancer rally, it's a really disgusting trait.

ye, lay off theater kids, but debate kids...

Tim Faust!

Looking forward to the Gaming Grindset ep ranking the Death Stranding 2 feet

Another thing that normal people cannot afford at all without massive federal subsidies propping up the industry is gasoline

ATTN: Chris and Will RE: NYC trains + labor + shitty NTSB This is right up Chapo's alley. There is a campaign to reinstate unjustly fired MTA worker, Andy Valentine, who was fired for doing his job and being a hero during the Jan.2024 subway crash that injured dozens. Here is the GoFundMe link. Not sure the actual contact info but he is a member of TWU. https://www.gofundme.com/f/we-need-you-chip-in-now?attribution_id=sl:031fb059-b339-40eb-b703-8ecf4cd55dcb&lang=en_US&ts=1751501491&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=native_options

It's fine, we can just finance healthcare via 24/7 twitch stream donations

I know this is the least relevant thought but I’ve had it since the game came out. Felix what is your opinion about the death stranding games

Ruben Galaga

How does anyone still trust the NYT at all? Do people just forget everything immediately?

the biden/harris Presidency was the real Jan 6th, thats why they did Jan 6th.

Mayor McCheese, sir: this bill will kick 16 million Fry Kids off of the dollar menu! Have you no shame, sir!?

Just preordered my copy of Year ZERO yesterday! Pretty goddamn pumped about it!!

We love Tim don’t we Faust

Im old enough to remember when the NYT helped manufacture consent for our invasion of Iraq.

Tim Faust is an angel among people

The NYT is so disgusting. It’s always been better as toilet paper and not as a source of honest reporting.

"The biggest retrenchment of healthcare capacity in the U.S."

I’m not sure the polling on low awareness of this bill is accurate. It’s just anecdotal, but many of the politically ignorant people in my life are actually talking about this / how bad it is.

This is the pyramid on your fukn money.

Moving back into my moms basement and grinding death stranding 2 so JD Vance knows that im against this bill

28:04 Will just described Google stadia, and we all know how well that went.

Do the Democrats have one of Tim's kids? Trying to figure out why he's so terrified to even imply that the Dems are complicit in all of this

Felix begins speaking at 2 minutes and 58 seconds

Anyone else hear a phone being failed around 12 minutes?

There are only a couple of states with Medicaid exemptions specifically for autism - which for all the jokes people make legitimately has one of the highest rates of unemployment of any disability and on average results in a significantly shortened lifespan in the U.S. but is also extremely difficult to actually get SSI for. It can take years to get approved even for ASD Level 2 DX'd individuals, and that's assuming the autistic person has family or a social worker who can help them navigate the bureaucracy (many actually don't, despite constant panglossian assumptions to the contrary). One of the justifications I've heard for this in my state - no kidding - is that Medicaid expansion has made such an exemption unnecessary. 🤦‍♀️ On top of that, the job market in many places is going to hell. These bullshit "work requirements" are going to be murder.

Mudhoney.

That thing about the autistic kid with the job probably going to lose it due to this bill is sad around 30:10

This is definitely going to get my mom kicked off Medicaid, but anyway this podcast turned me gay

President Grimus

Masturbating on Onlyfans with my left hand to afford surgery for my right hand which was crushed in a car door. The pain is intense because my wounded right hand is not yet treated, but I can still cum to earn that money because I took a 30mg edible 🇺🇸🦅🍆💦

Every needs to stop using Medicaid and start embracing big N2O

Love Tim and I hate that we only bring him around to give us bad news. I am thankful that he keeps himself upbeat. Not to lib out, but I hate looking at Trump’s face in the thumbnail. This guy sucks!

My ass is full of cum and I must fart 🥵 💨
