Continuing the Parkland thread, Tim covers right-wing Parkland survivor Kyle Kashuv's pro-gun stance, his n-word scandal and resignation from Turning Point USA, tying it back to the idea that political spokespeople 'serve at the pleasure' of billionaire backers.
- Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk actively auditioned for their roles as right-wing figures.
- Tim describes bombing auditions as a fat comic, repeatedly cast as criminals reading lines like 'armed robbery.'
- One person complained about Tim's laugh at auditions, claiming they wanted to kill him because of it.
- Milo Yiannopoulos thought he was going to be the standard-bearer of the Republican Party at CPAC.
- The National Review crowd and Trump-skeptical Republicans got Milo deplatformed and removed him from power.
- Public figures like Milo serve at the pleasure of billionaire families like the Mercers, not grassroots movements.
- Building a fanbase organically is hard; rapid growth with media attention and infrastructure requires serious money.
- All these figures are funded by big money backing them, and they get thrown overboard if the organization loses confidence.
