Tim jokingly asks if Swan and Haberman fear being replaced by podcasters like him; they defend the institutional backing of the New York Times, citing legal protection and resources needed for sensitive reporting like weapons stockpile leaks, before signing off.
- Legacy media outlets need big institutions behind them to do serious investigative reporting, according to the guest journalist.
- Recently published reporting on American weapons supplied to Iran and long-range missiles, with sources taking serious risks.
- The infrastructure of the New York Times — lawyers, security, platform — enables the type of reporting that couldn't happen on Substack as a free agent.
- Tim claims he, Joe Rogan, and Barry Weiss are the only journalists left in America.
