Speaker Time Text
unidentified
And I'm out.
tim pool
Welcome to the show.
I am Tim Poole.
adam crigler
This is Adam Griggler.
tim pool
And then we also have the invisible woman.
lydia smith
I am also here, yes.
tim pool
She is invisible.
lydia smith
Yes, yes.
tim pool
I'm so sick of this stuff, man.
I can feel it.
adam crigler
Trust me, you're not alone.
I'm sick of it too.
I'm sure everyone here is sick of it.
tim pool
Every day we're like, all right, let's see what's going on today.
Oh, this coronavirus.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
That's it.
I remember, uh, you know, back when people would talk about movies, there's a, on the front page of the Daily Mail, it's like everything is coronavirus.
And then tucked away, we found one gem of like Quentin Tarantino saying Brad Pitt wanted to take off his shirt.
It's like, yes!
adam crigler
That's what that was?
lydia smith
Yay!
tim pool
A glimpse of how life used to be.
adam crigler
Yeah, instead of searching for cool subjects that we're talking about, it's like, we're digging for anything that isn't coronavirus.
tim pool
Remember when we were talking about like werewolves and stuff?
unidentified
Oh, yes.
tim pool
It's so long ago.
adam crigler
Skinwalkers or whatever.
lydia smith
Oh, man.
unidentified
It's a different time.
tim pool
We were like, isn't it cool if like aliens were in another dimension?
It's like, that's right.
Now today it's like the coronavirus killed more people today and this is nothing else.
Yeah, it's getting so boring.
Well, anyway, welcome to the show.
If you guys would like to ask questions and have them read, we will do our best to read as many as we can.
You can go in the super chat for those that are listening live and make sure you follow us.
Our names are above us, Tim and Adam.
And subscribe, hit the like button, and yeah, we're gonna talk about stuff.
We do have a really crazy story that I saw, and I almost just don't believe it.
Suspected SARS virus and flu samples found in luggage.
FBI report describes China's biosecurity risk.
adam crigler
Yeah, this is crazy.
tim pool
Yeah, but the craziest thing about it is that they buried the lead.
So this story from Yahoo, they're like, the luggage, they found some virus samples.
And when I first saw this, I was like, wow, that seems crazy.
Like what?
Somebody had viruses in their bags?
Why would they do that?
And then halfway down the article, they're like, researchers believe it was for bioterrorism.
Wait, what?
adam crigler
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Well, when you first brought this up, I was like, oh yeah, I read about that.
Wasn't that like two years ago?
No, that was six months ago.
It's way crazier.
tim pool
Six months ago, apparently, September of 2019, a Chinese biologist, and this happened multiple times, did not report.
So there's numerous instances now where Chinese biologists, I guess, they're calling them biologists, wouldn't even know if they're biologists.
adam crigler
Terrorists?
No, no, no, no, no.
Too early?
tim pool
Too soon?
We don't know.
We don't know.
They suspect that it could be used for nefarious purposes.
But these Chinese individuals, they're saying biologists, okay, fine, had multiple vials of viruses in their luggage, undeclared, and denied having anything until they were searched.
And then in the main story they bring up, This is totally burying the lead.
So they say in the story that was like in November of 2018, blah, blah, blah.
It's like, dude, wait, wait, wait, wait.
This happened in September.
Again, it keeps happening.
Why would they, why would Yahoo lead with the November story?
This is terrible reporting.
adam crigler
Agreed.
tim pool
Because there's so much more important information here, but at least they did it.
They got the expert, the expert said, we think this... So basically, Yahoo is the one who clarifies this expert who said it's a biosecurity risk.
They said biosecurity is a reference to the nefarious use of biological agents such as bioterrorism.
adam crigler
How is this not plastered everywhere?
I don't get it at all.
tim pool
I don't know, and it's from yesterday.
adam crigler
What really scares me is this is the, there's one guy that got caught.
Right.
That's what we know about.
tim pool
And she even, this woman says, you realize if somebody was sneaking this stuff in, you know people are sneaking stuff out, right?
unidentified
Yeah, both ways, but like... Dude, look at this photo.
tim pool
See these things?
unidentified
That's it?
tim pool
They put little vials in plastic baggies?
adam crigler
And those are, what, contact lens cases?
tim pool
You ever see, yeah, what was it?
adam crigler
It's just in a contact lens case?
tim pool
No, they're like little vials.
Those are the top of the vials.
adam crigler
Oh, oh, I see, okay.
tim pool
So, I'm hoping they were in like, I'm trying to think of a movie.
What's the movie where, I can't remember it.
I think it's Fast and the Furious or something.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Where like, it's every action movie.
They have a case and you open it and then there's like.
lydia smith
There's like foam padding.
tim pool
Yeah, padding and then they pull out a tube and they unscrew the tube and they pull out another tube and then
they cut the Top off and pull a tiny vial. Yeah, like it's secured in
numerous things, right?
adam crigler
Like it's almost with a battery system keeping it under a certain temperature. Exactly
tim pool
And it's like here's real life They're like look at these little vials that are in plastic
adam crigler
baggies in this bag and it says I picture a guy with the long
Overcoat and he opens it up. It's like what kind of virus you want?
I got this one, I got this one, this one's really good.
tim pool
I'm surprised this story, I can't believe it's real, I gotta be honest.
adam crigler
I can't believe it's real either.
Because no one else is touching it.
Why?
What's going on with that?
Because they're scared.
tim pool
I think they're scared.
Because who wants to be the person to come out and accuse China of engaging in covert bioterror?
adam crigler
Well they started it.
tim pool
Well, I mean, sure, but the issue is you have to accuse this person of doing it, and another thing they bring up in the article is that anybody who is smuggling the stuff in would be a stooge.
adam crigler
And like you were saying, the piracy thing, we didn't condone his actions at all.
tim pool
Here's what they'll do.
They'll find some poor guy in China, like a poor person, and they'll be like, Hey, we need you to bring my wife's clothes to her in Detroit or whatever.
And they'll be like, OK, great.
And they'll be like, here it is.
We'll open it up and show them.
Like, yeah, you've got your contact lenses, and you've got your clothes.
Just go to Detroit.
adam crigler
But don't put those contacts in, though.
Don't use those contacts, by the way.
tim pool
So apparently, but I think the FBI let these guys go, and they know who it is, and they even said that it says that when it was first stopped, one of the first stories, not even the first time it's happened, in November 2018, that they had vials labeled antibodies, and then the biologist told the agents that a colleague in China had asked him to deliver the vials to a researcher at a U.S.
institute.
After examining the vials, however, customs agents came to an alarming conclusion.
adam crigler
So wait, he even admits that he was smuggling it for someone else?
Yeah.
Like, someone asked me to do it.
It's like, with no official capacity.
tim pool
Look at that, asked, a colleague had asked them to do it.
They're patsies.
Yeah.
Dude, they're smuggling in viruses.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's crazy.
tim pool
And now look, I'm the last person that's ever wanted to engage in any kind of conspiracy theory,
but this is an FBI report that a- I know.
From the U.S.
Department of Justice.
It's straight up saying that we knew that they were smuggling in these viruses.
said. Like I don't look man. I don't know how you get more definitive than that.
adam crigler
I know that's from the US Department of Justice is straight up saying that we knew that they
were smuggling in these viruses. And now sure enough, there's a pandemic going around. Yep.
tim pool
So, you know what it could be?
I mean, it could be that they're fiddling around.
And this is crazy, man.
You know what I can't stand about the media is journalists are supposed to be, to a certain degree, a conspiracy theorist.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
You're supposed to say, hey, I see something.
I want to investigate it.
adam crigler
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
Today, if you say, isn't it strange that there is a bioweapon?
There's a biolab.
I don't want to say biolab, but there's a biolab in Wuhan, and that's where the virus originated.
That's interesting, right?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Let's take a look at it.
The moment you say that, the media is like, And they start screeching conspiracy theories.
Like, dude, Donald Trump said that, how are these masks going missing?
Something must be going on.
And then all of a sudden they're calling him a conspiracy theorist.
He didn't even say anything.
These people, they have no imagination.
They are horrible at their jobs.
And even these guys, and I'll give some credit to the journalists who worked on this one.
They bury the lead.
And this has got to be fake, right?
I think that's another issue.
Maybe the reason no one's touching it is because they're like, there's no way this is real.
Optimism bias.
Nobody wants to put their name on a story this crazy.
adam crigler
I mean, sure, this document right here, the U.S.
Department of Justice, can you pull up the thing so they see what I'm talking about?
So it says, like, the U.S.
Department of Justice.
This looks like a legitimate file from, like, our government that's got it in here, the information.
tim pool
There's pictures!
adam crigler
Yeah, this is in there.
tim pool
Dude, look at this right here.
adam crigler
That's crazy.
So they know about this.
tim pool
Look at this.
On 11 September 2019, a Chinese national initially made no positive declarations, but was later found to have eight vials of a clear liquid in their checked luggage at the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport.
The vials had no supporting documentation.
The Chinese National stated the material was DNA derived from a low pathogenicity strain of H9N2.
However, some of the vials had WSN handwritten on the top.
And through open source research, CBP determined WSN is an acronym associated with the H1N1 influenza collected in 1933.
The material was confiscated, and the individual was allowed to travel to Dallas, where they were traveling to work with a researcher, Associated with an identified U.S.
research institution.
So in that instance, it seems like they might know who these people are.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And that because they have cover from American institutions, at least in that regard, maybe that's why they didn't lead with that one.
adam crigler
Right.
Cause maybe it seems that their story that they're going to meet with a researcher that this is for them, you know, whether or not they had official documentation, you know, their story kind of checked out.
Like, oh, they are going to meet with this person who is a legitimate source, whatever.
tim pool
There have been numerous arrests of researchers taking Chinese money and not disclosing it.
lydia smith
Yeah, at schools, at reputable schools.
tim pool
At colleges and universities.
Infiltration, man.
adam crigler
And how is that not included in this?
You know, how is that not taken into account?
This is part of the investigation.
Okay, good.
tim pool
This is part of that investigation.
Mike Pompeo said recently that the level of infiltration of Chinese intelligence into the United States is crazy.
adam crigler
I mean, I see it.
I get the feeling that the reason this is not being blown up is because China has its hands in the media also.
tim pool
Totally.
adam crigler
Like, blasted everywhere.
Like, wait, China's trying to say we did this bioterrorist attack, and then here's proof that they're actually been smuggling it into our country.
tim pool
So let's read this other one.
It says, on or about 26 May 2018, a Chinese national entered the United States via, it's always from Detroit too, from Beijing.
Oh, probably because they fly straight over the North Pole.
The People's Republic of China.
When stopped by CBP, the individual stated he was a breast cancer researcher in Texas and was not traveling with any biological products.
The individual was referred for additional CBP inspection where he amended his declaration to possibly traveling with plasmids.
CBP discovered one centrifuge tube in the individual's checked bag, and he stated it
was non-infectious E. coli bacteria-derived plasmids.
The individual was unable to provide any accompanying documentation or permits for the materials,
which CBP placed on an agricultural hold, and the individual was released.
Why are they releasing these people?
adam crigler
Yeah, I don't understand.
tim pool
Do you need to declare that you're bringing in the SARS virus?
adam crigler
And the fact that they're lying about it, it's like, no, I don't have anything.
Okay, well, what's that vial?
Oh, I do have a SARS sample.
It's this.
It's like, excuse me?
tim pool
No, no, no, it's, are you traveling?
adam crigler
Okay, sir, we're gonna keep it, go ahead.
tim pool
No, no, what they're saying is they ask the guy, are you traveling or anything?
I am not.
Okay, let's search his bag.
adam crigler
Actually... Oh, you're searching my bag?
Well, I'm gonna amend that.
tim pool
It's kind of like they're hoping They won't search him.
It's like, nope, we're good.
It's like, all right, have a nice day, sir.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And so then they're like, all right, let's check.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait.
Yes, I do have one.
Dude, they lied, man.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Why are these people being allowed in?
adam crigler
Exactly.
tim pool
This is nuts.
adam crigler
Why are you still being allowed into the country?
You're lying.
tim pool
Check this part out.
The FBI does not state precisely what sort of biosecurity risk these cases could present, but Raina McIntyre, professor of global biosecurity at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Not could be, would be.
appears to be concerned with dual-use research that would be used for bioterrorism.
And if the illicit samples cited in the report were being brought into the US, she says the
traffic is likely to be both ways.
Here's a quote.
How do you know what they're bringing in and out unless you have a comprehensive surveillance
point?
If it's going one way, it's going the other way.
You'd be very naive to assume otherwise.
Retired Air Force Brigadier General Robert Spalding, who worked on China issues on the National Security Council under the Trump administration, said there is a threat posed by Chinese nationals carrying biological samples But believes it's likely the carrier would be someone who is unwitting, making it hard to determine the intent.
Some likely could be deliberate to test our ability to identify and intercept.
Others could be opportunistic.
The FBI report refers to both biosecurity, which typically refers to the intentional misuse of pathogens such as bioterrorism, and biosafety, which covers accidental release.
The FBI declined to comment on the report.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Yahoo straight-up just said, and got an expert to say, that these people are, there's a concern they're engaging in bioterrorism.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
And that the FBI is digging into it.
I'm not surprised the FBI is not going to comment, because maybe this information getting out could be a problem for their investigation.
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
But, uh, how long until the, so I expect this will get no play.
It's not sensational.
It's not about the orange man.
No one's going to want to talk about it.
adam crigler
Actually, more importantly- Unless we actually do go to war with China, and then this is going to be front page.
Like, we actually did know that China has been planning an attack.
Look, see, we have the proof.
tim pool
Our news cycle is so twisted and stupid.
It's so dumb.
adam crigler
I agree.
I don't understand the media.
tim pool
It's like, right.
Yeah, no one's telling you anything that's important that's going to help save your life or protect your life.
That's why I was saying, like, I think journalists don't want to touch this because they want to take the path of least resistance.
adam crigler
Yeah, I agree.
tim pool
Look, man, I just want a million views.
Can I just call Donald Trump Hitler again?
Do I really have to talk about national security issues?
lydia smith
Do I have to, like, do footwork and talk to DOJ people?
tim pool
Make phone calls?
Are you nuts?
Get out of here.
I'll just write Orange Man bad again.
And Orange Man was bad again today because he is orange.
adam crigler
Boom, a million hits.
unidentified
Boom!
tim pool
Million bucks.
And then advertising revenue is dropping and they're like, we need a bailout from the government and they're getting it.
Oh my gosh.
Media organizations can apply for up to a ten million dollar loan if they have less than... Essential services, man.
Yep.
lydia smith
Oh man.
adam crigler
That's ridiculous.
tim pool
But it depends on who gets it because if it's like local news it's fine.
adam crigler
They're not essential.
tim pool
No, I mean local news, I think is.
adam crigler
Okay, I like local news better, I guess.
tim pool
Let's be honest.
They could have done a better job of this, I think.
They buried the lead.
But this is journalism.
They contacted a retired general to ask him about what was going on.
They contacted an expert.
They published these documents.
They did the legwork.
They found some really damning information.
And this is very, very important information done by good journalism.
adam crigler
It's huge.
tim pool
Yeah, they could have done better, I think.
But it's like, you know, I'll give it a 7 out of 10.
Like, this is important stuff.
adam crigler
This is still one of the craziest things about coronavirus that I think that I've found that they have been smuggling stuff in to our country.
Like, how is that not making everyone upset?
tim pool
Yeah, I know.
adam crigler
Like, I'm mad right now.
This is BS, man.
tim pool
You've gotten Soy Jesus angry!
adam crigler
I am angry!
tim pool
How dare you!
How dare you!
adam crigler
I mean, it is akin to an act of war.
Like, how is it not?
lydia smith
It is, yeah.
adam crigler
Because nobody wants to go to war, man.
They're saying that we're starting it.
I know.
I don't want to go to war either.
But when they're bringing in this stuff to our country, it's like, what's going on?
tim pool
And now we have 160,000 people infected with one of these SARS viruses.
And look, even if it isn't bioterror-related.
Maybe it's just bumbling morons.
So, this story falls in line with a bunch of other stories we've read where they've been concerned that the... Actually, they bring it up too.
There's international concern.
China won't do... Like, they won't actually care.
They'll be negligent in containing these biological materials.
So, under the assumption that they're doing legitimate research, they're not containing these things properly.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And so, that's a concern.
Some moron has a vial of, you know, H1N1 and he gets on a plane.
lydia smith
In his suitcase.
tim pool
And then he trips and falls and it breaks and he goes, whoops!
lydia smith
Oh my gosh.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
I'm not saying he did, I'm saying that's the risk.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
And on an airplane, no less.
adam crigler
Recycled air.
tim pool
Yep.
Or just, you're in an airport and a dude's walking around with an infectious disease.
Nah, it's fine.
The crazy thing is there's multiple instances where they're not reporting it, so it's like we kind of know what they're doing.
They're lying, man.
adam crigler
I don't know.
This is nuts.
tim pool
What's crazy is I've had a few people, I mentioned this the other day, ask me if I thought we were heading towards a full-on war with China.
You better believe it.
adam crigler
Yeah, I think so.
tim pool
This is, you know, I don't know how you rectify this.
What's the argument here?
No, no, Tim, you're mistaken.
This happens all the time.
They always try and bring in vials of viruses and lie to the border agents.
unidentified
What?
tim pool
Okay, well, that needs to stop.
lydia smith
Greg, can we stop that?
tim pool
It reminds me of that Family Guy episode.
Where the bar burns down.
Some guy buys the bar, and then the bar burns down, and the insurance guy pays the check.
And then all the wives ask him, they're like, don't you find it a little strange that the day after he bought the insurance, the bar burned down?
He goes, no, it happens all the time.
So it's like, that's a funny point about the bias.
In like, no, this stuff happens all the time.
unidentified
Just because they're doing it a lot.
tim pool
Wow.
Well, uh, the good news is, I guess, and I mean that very, very sarcastically is, based on things like this, we can prepare for 100,000 people to die.
lydia smith
Oh, great.
tim pool
Yeah.
You know what though, man?
We were initially thinking about leading with like, okay, I guess Dr. Fauci says 100,000 people are going to die.
I just, I'm so over it.
It's just, they've been screaming at the top of their lungs for so long.
I'm like, I get it, dude.
I'm locked in my basement.
What's going on, man?
He told us to lock ourselves in our basement.
We did.
lydia smith
We are following the rules.
adam crigler
Well, we have a few articles pertaining to this, right?
So, I mean, this feels like a different subject.
We can get into this.
tim pool
Well, of course.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, it's all you, brother.
adam crigler
No, let's go to Super Chats and come back to this.
tim pool
Oh, yeah, sounds good.
adam crigler
Swing back around.
tim pool
All right, we'll go to Super Chats first, and then we will swing back around.
I'm just so exhausted with this every single day.
It's like a million people are going to die.
adam crigler
Well, I have some things that I feel like a positive light on this spin that it's like, you know, we can talk about it, but it's not as negative.
tim pool
Well, we'll just give everyone a heads up.
The numbers could be wrong.
The U.S.
death toll percentage is substantially lower than the rest of the world, like seven times lower.
So it could be bad.
But if this is true, then we might be able to open everything up sooner than usual, right?
Let's read some Super Chats.
Morning Coffee asks, favorite pizza toppings, everyone?
adam crigler
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, I love it.
I love it.
tim pool
Pineapple.
adam crigler
It's not coronavirus.
lydia smith
Yeah, right.
tim pool
Pineapple.
adam crigler
No!
tim pool
Pineapple jalapeno.
adam crigler
I don't know.
It's a mood thing.
I love pizza so much.
We actually really like pizza and when we lived together in Miami, every single day we made a new pizza.
tim pool
One time a fruit pizza.
adam crigler
For like seven months straight.
I'm dead serious.
Every day we had a different pizza.
tim pool
We made a fruit pizza.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
It was like jam with like... It was good?
I can't remember what we put on it.
It wasn't cheese though.
lydia smith
Did you do like cream cheese?
tim pool
No, no, no.
It was just like jam with like fruits on it.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
On a pizza crust and then we baked it.
adam crigler
That was good.
tim pool
We made a bunch of crazy stuff.
adam crigler
I would say my favorite toppings are probably... Probably tomato sauce.
tim pool
Just tomato sauce?
adam crigler
Well, not necessarily, because sometimes barbecue sauce is really good, but on most pizzas, you have tomato sauce.
And the tomato sauce has to be good, too.
It can't just be like regular tomato, any, you know, thank you, ketchup would be terrible.
tim pool
I like white pizza with tomatoes on it.
adam crigler
OK.
tim pool
But I think for a regular pizza, I'd say mushrooms and garlic.
adam crigler
Mmm, that chow cheese would be really good on a pizza.
tim pool
We did that, it was good.
adam crigler
We got that pizza crust, we can make some.
lydia smith
Yeah, let's do it.
tim pool
Yeah, we got a lot of chow cheese.
Alright, Jim St.
Armour says, read an article today about a woman who claimed that vomiting was a symptom of coronavirus and it put her in the hospital, except the photo of her in the hospital was dated October 19th, 2019.
Infuriating.
A lot of people like lying, like when CBS ran footage from an Italian hospital claiming it was New York.
lydia smith
And Kathy Griffin went to the hospital.
unidentified
Oh, man.
lydia smith
She went to Mexico.
tim pool
You know what happened with Kathy Griffin?
adam crigler
I don't know anything about it.
tim pool
She posts a picture like, I'm in the coronavirus ward, isolated, you know, blah, blah, blah, and then starts screeching about Trump.
These people are so annoying.
She had just gotten back from Mexico and she got a stomach virus.
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
She was in the hospital for it.
lydia smith
That's what happened.
adam crigler
Guadalupe's revenge?
tim pool
Montezuma's revenge.
adam crigler
Oh, yeah, that's what I meant.
tim pool
It's everyone, like, dude, you take two seconds and say, Mexico, travel, and everyone's gonna tell you, you will vomit.
I got sick when I went.
It was bad.
Man, it was brutal.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, it's called Montezuma's Revenge.
It's like the joke, I guess.
So she comes back, she gets sick, and she starts tweeting about having coronavirus, and then it turns out she had the Hershey's squirts.
It's like, oh, thanks.
Thanks, Kathy.
lydia smith
I wish I didn't know.
tim pool
All right, where are we at?
Kyle Buchanan says, Hey Tim, the BBC wrote that an aircraft carrier has over 150 positive cases.
Would you look into how many cases the military has?
Thank you, Lydia and Adam, for doing this show with Tim.
It is my nightly relaxation stream.
Excellent.
I did have that story pulled up.
lydia smith
I just saw on TV.
It was 200 cases on that aircraft carrier.
tim pool
The whole aircraft carrier is basically like in danger.
lydia smith
But the Pentagon is instructing the military not to release their numbers.
tim pool
Interesting.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Well, because people go to war with us.
And I'll tell you what, man, if there was a possibility that we would go to war with another country, it's going to be in this time period where we're weakened.
It's like, you ever see Independence Day?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
They had to wait for that right moment when they sent in the virus to deactivate the shields of all the aliens.
You don't get an opportunity like that twice.
adam crigler
So we're the aliens?
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
Yeah, we're the aliens, basically.
And we have the impenetrable shield, but now we've caught a cold, like Jeff Goldblum said.
He infected the alien ships with a virus.
adam crigler
Amalians.
tim pool
The aliens.
adam crigler
America.
tim pool
Yeah.
And then the crazy- Amalians.
lydia smith
Earthigans.
tim pool
And then Randy Quaid flew us an airplane into the center and it blew up the whole thing.
And that's a- He's a hero.
No, but for real, I think if there was ever going to be a war, it would be soon.
Especially with the stories like we just read, like, what is this, you know?
Yeah, agreed.
Well, Chinese biologists caught smuggling viruses into the country.
adam crigler
Yep, just before it hit the world.
tim pool
MinMac says, MSNBC be like Tim Pool, alt-right commentator on Russian assets spilled gumbo on his shirt.
Here's why this is bad news for Trump.
Yep.
lydia smith
Yes.
tim pool
Neandra, thanks for the super chat.
Cute.
David Lopan says, Ilhan Omar is actually Q from STNG.
Compare her outfit from Congress Progressive Caucus when she laughed in background with Q's outfit from Encounter at Farpoint.
Oh, I was like, Q, are you talking about Q and I?
lydia smith
Please no.
tim pool
Oh, Q from Star Trek, that generation.
adam crigler
Yeah, Q. Yay, that Q. That Q. He was a great character.

Love to my bro, Rob, for getting me hooked on you.
Appreciate it, man.
adam crigler
Thanks.

Seb says, what's Adam's professional background?
adam crigler
My professional background?
Well, I started modeling when I was right out of high school, and I did that for a long time.
Ten years, twelve years.
And during that time, I started riding professionally for Arbor Skateboards while I was living in New York, so that was really fun.
It was a good time in my life.
Yeah, don't tell people that part of it, but yeah, I don't know.
I was a musician also.
I never really went pro with it, I guess, if you can say that, but I've always just done music for me and skating also.
It just kind of fell into my lap like most things do, including this job, which is now where I'm at.
Yep.
lydia smith
Heck yeah.
adam crigler
Cool, thanks for your interest.
tim pool
Maybe one day I'll earn an Absolute Mad Lad from Count Dankula.
I'm kidding, dude.
His show's hilarious.
Have you ever seen it?
Dankula's Absolute Mad Lads?
Now I appreciate all of that, especially the absolute mad lad.
Maybe one day I'll earn an absolute mad lad from Count Dankula.
I'm kidding, dude. This show's hilarious.
You ever see it? Dankula's absolute mad lads?
lydia smith
Oh my gosh.
tim pool
He's just like...
adam crigler
Oh wait, I think you showed me this once.
tim pool
He basically covers, like, it's almost like a comedy history show.
adam crigler
It's like a deep dive on, like, uncertain people.
Yeah, it's history.
tim pool
Crazy dudes.
lydia smith
Yeah, man, I love it.
adam crigler
Yeah, some, like, crazy... Roof Koreans.
...Japanese guy.
tim pool
Roof Koreans, dude.
adam crigler
That started his own religion or something.
Yes, a guy who started his own religion.
Yeah, is that, yeah, okay.
So I did see one, yeah.
That was cool.
lydia smith
Heavy Scottish accent, yeah.
tim pool
Very much so.
Let's see.

Chisholm says, you guys should invite the guys from last podcast on the left to talk conspiracy aliens cryptids.
Marcus, Henry, and Ben are pretty rad dudes.
I'm down.
lydia smith
Sounds good.
tim pool
Although we've all quarantined.
I will say too, we didn't do this.
Make sure you hit the like button if you haven't already.
It really does help.
adam crigler
Yeah, and subscribe and share the videos and follow us.
There's me.
There's him.
tim pool
I almost don't believe it does help because no matter what happens, everyone complains YouTube is like suppressing our content and stuff, but hey, you know, whatever dude.
adam crigler
Yeah, but if people share it, then more people see it.
So we do appreciate it.
Thanks guys.
tim pool
Alex Oakley says, I blame Nixon for the coronavirus.
Do you think this will make us pull back from China?
Also, have you guys looked into the Black Knight conspiracy?
I have not.
But I do think we're going to pull back from China and we're going to start building everything here, right?
adam crigler
Let's talk conspiracies more.
tim pool
Gregory Horton says the coronavirus did not kill Jeffrey Epstein.
But I have a serious question.
Does anyone actually believe that guy killed himself?
lydia smith
No.
unidentified
Of course not.
adam crigler
No one does.
No one in this room does.
tim pool
Who was it who tweeted that they got in the Uber?
lydia smith
It was Chris Ragon.
unidentified
Oh yeah, yeah, Chris Ragon.
We got into the Uber and the driver was like, we all agree that- He's like, yo, dude, they killed that guy.
lydia smith
Killed that guy in that cell.
tim pool
Do you know who Chris Ragon is?
He's like a YouTube comedian.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And he tweeted that he got into an Uber on that time and his driver immediately went, yo, dude, they killed that guy in that jail.
Like, nobody believes.
unidentified
We are one.
lydia smith
We're finally unified.
tim pool
Nobody.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
The earth becomes unified.
tim pool
It became a huge meme.
It was like all over Reddit.
lydia smith
It was everywhere.
tim pool
And it still kind of is.
You know why I like the meme?
It brought us all together.
lydia smith
It did.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah.
The left and the right were both in agreement.
lydia smith
Dude didn't kill himself.
adam crigler
Finally.
tim pool
And now we're going to get in trouble for even saying it, because they're going to be like, fake news, and they're going to put a tag under the YouTube video.
Like, seriously, that's what they do.
adam crigler
Whatever.
tim pool
King Canuck says, evening gang.
Tim, you never talk about your brother.
What's he do lately?
He hasn't been in one of your videos since MythCon or the old podcast.
Um, I don't know.
He does his thing.
He has his own channel.
I do my thing.
We do a show.
YuYu says, why can I not block MSM channels from my autoplay?
Because they want to make sure instead of watching us, you go and watch mainstream media content.
Seriously, like the entire autoplay thing is like, I know, I've seen it.
There's a third-party extension you can download, people were talking about, that removes the mainstream media.
adam crigler
Oh, nice.
tim pool
Like, dude, who goes to YouTube to watch CNN?
adam crigler
Nobody.
lydia smith
You just turn on your TV.
tim pool
It's really sad.
YouTube has basically become like Netflix or Hulu.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
It's really crazy.
I mean, if you search YouTube for coronavirus, you will not get this channel.
You will not get my channel.
You will get CNN, CBS.
If you search for Brad Pitt, because you heard a great story about him taking his shirt off, you will not get a YouTuber.
You will very rarely get a YouTuber.
You're going to get some major corporate channel.
adam crigler
Well, I don't click on those.
tim pool
I know.
That's why they have to push it like that.
adam crigler
Or autoplay is right into it, and that's where the statistics are coming from.
tim pool
Oh, I don't know.
Yeah, it's whack.
Cuban Libertarian says, opinion on Cuba exporting doctors during crisis?
I honestly don't know a whole lot about it.

I don't know it either.

Maddie Bone says, lost a debate today.
Couldn't believe what I was being told, uh, you, until I asked them to cite their source.
Their source was you.

Interesting.
tim pool
Marian, thanks for becoming a member.
1976 says, how long until we're at war with China?
lydia smith
Not long.
adam crigler
Hopefully a lot longer than what she just said.
tim pool
Yeah, right.
But I gotta say, I think it's common.
I really do.
Taz says, thanks to your warning, my toddler and I were fully doomsday prepped before Australian media even mentioned COVID.
Love you, Tim.
Adam's cool too, though.
adam crigler
Oh, thanks.
tim pool
Right on.
lydia smith
That's awesome.
tim pool
Dakota Dan says, hey Tim and Adam, had hoped to see you cover the FISA abuse story that came out today.
The IG investigated FISA application found 92% not up to snuff.
lydia smith
Yeah, dude, a huge majority of that.
tim pool
I'm not surprised.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So this is one of the complaints I had about Brett Kavanaugh.
He has an archaic view on mass surveillance and what the government is allowed to search.
So it's been a while, but the general idea that the government claims is that they're allowed to spy on your metadata because it's the same as like, if you walk out of your house, the police are allowed to sit in front of your house and watch you leave.
They know when you left, and then they can follow you and see where you went.
They can't listen to your conversations, but they can watch you leave and watch where you go, right?
If you have everyone's, like every bit of all the metadata, then you know exactly what they're doing, where they're going, when they're doing it.
And so that stuff should be private, but obviously the government wants access to all that stuff, so we see a ton of surveillance abuse.
So yeah, I don't know a whole lot about this story, but we'll check it out.
The Unrefined says, chill factor movie.
Okay.
Eddie, thanks for becoming a member.
Talbot Link says, had to force quit mobile app, go to channel and stream in browser, then go to history before app saw stream for second day in a row, YouTube BS.
adam crigler
That sucks.
tim pool
Yup, make sure you subscribe and hit the notification bell, and that's probably not even good news.
adam crigler
Yeah, unfortunately that doesn't even work all the time.
tim pool
Pensive says, please cover the Horwitz report.
FISA abuse must not be forgotten.
Definitely.
We'll pick it up.
adam crigler
Yeah, we should talk about it.
tim pool
DarkRanky said, Timothy, be real with me.
Is the 18-month thing possible?
Oh, for the quarantine?
I think so.
adam crigler
Well, that's how long they're saying we have a vaccine.
tim pool
We have some news.
The mortality rate may be a lot lower in the U.S.
We might have a good handle on things.
But it could just be because we've done a good job of containing it.
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
I don't know, man.
Joseph says, you should look into import recalls from China.
Chickens with H4N5, hogs with swine, Ebola.
adam crigler
Whoa.
tim pool
Drum skins with anthrax, all from China.
Happens all the time.
Experienced as a hazmat worker.
adam crigler
Dang.
tim pool
And then DarkRangi asks, again, be real.
Will the 18-month thing be possible?
We'll see.
Brandon Lutz says, China did this on purpose.
We don't know, but I suspect.
adam crigler
After that last subject, I mean, I definitely have my doubts now.
tim pool
And the funny thing is there's a story where it's like, what was this from? I can't remember
which source this was, saying that hate speech against China in the UK is like going up like
several orders of magnitude or whatever, and it's like hate speech against China?
adam crigler
Yeah, all I can think of.
tim pool
Like, the countries and their government?
adam crigler
Yeah, exactly.
Like, the country.
It's like, all I can think of in those situations is, like, the, not the whistleblowers, but the people getting videos out, like, look, I'm a regular citizen talking to their phones.
Like, I just want the world to know that we are not okay with the CCP.
You know, we support, like, the Taiwanese independence and, you know, just know that we're not all the same.
And it's like, yeah, So I feel bad for the Chinese people, man.
tim pool
For sure.
adam crigler
It sucks.
tim pool
We just got a big super chat jump.
Thank you to all the super chats.
adam crigler
Yeah, appreciate you all.
tim pool
Let's see.
North Strider says, alternate world building exercise for you guys.
What if Hillary Clinton was our president during this pandemic?
Oh, we would have been at war six months ago.
lydia smith
So my theory is that we would not be in this disaster if Hillary had been our president because we would have gone to war like a year and a half ago and none of us would be alive.
tim pool
Well, actually, no, I think she would have sold us out to China and Like, they wanted the TPP.
They wanted the Chinese government to be able to sue Americans and to, like, have them freely sent, like, we could freely send jobs overseas.
It would just continue the extraction of the American economy.
adam crigler
Yeah, you're right.
tim pool
And I think China being strained led to much more animosity.
adam crigler
We would just be China 2.0.
tim pool
It's funny because the argument is like, don't vote for Trump because Hillary Clinton will bend the knee to China so they don't hurt us.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And Donald Trump was more like, I'm gonna, you know, punch him in the face.
So it's like, I'm pretty sure Hillary Clinton and that establishment administration would have bent the knee in two seconds, extracted all of our resources from these companies because they were in on the take.
adam crigler
Yeah, I agree.
tim pool
And that's why the FBI is investigating.
They're finding all this stuff out.
But I think I was reading a little bit about the Confucius Institutes in the US.
They're like infiltrating schools.
Yeah, aren't those the... yeah, yeah.
Yeah, Chinese infiltration.
Very unusual. I did not.
But I think I was reading a little bit about the Confucius Institutes in the U.S.
They're like infiltrating schools.
lydia smith
Yeah, aren't those the... yeah, yeah.
tim pool
Yeah. Chinese infiltration.
Yes.
Samuel Williams says, Truck driver here been delivering medical supplies all over
Florida.
Now crazy sick.
Just got positive test for CCP virus as well as another driver.
This worst sickness I can ever remember.
lydia smith
Dude.
tim pool
Man, it will get better.
Seriously.
Definitely.
And definitely people need to take this seriously, dude.
Like, come on, man.
There's a dude in the super chat telling everybody it's really bad.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So I want to give mad respect to James O'Keefe of Project Veritas.
They had went on the ground to the testing site in New Rochelle.
Got a test and just filmed it and showed us exactly what it was.
And the reason why I give him mad respect for this is that there was not a whole lot happening.
The National Guard's guys were saying, it's just the flu, don't worry about it.
The doctors were saying, well, you know, most people are okay, but some people get really sick.
And it was very calm, very reasonable.
And this is important for us to see for a few reasons.
For one, it's the truth.
They just drove through there and showed us what's going on.
But already they're being attacked as truthers and conspiracy theorists and liar for literally filming what is happening.
adam crigler
That's crazy.
tim pool
Yeah, man.
So, look.
The way I put it was like, it's great that we can see what's going on.
It's great that we can see how the frontline workers are describing and how they feel about it.
Keep in mind, he just went to one location.
It could be very different in other places.
But we need to see what's happening.
But of course, the scary thing is, everyone knows right now, I assure you the journalists know this, that if they say anything counter to the narrative, they'll lose their jobs.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
If they go right now and say, oh, the National Guard guy said it's not a big deal, they would get in trouble.
adam crigler
Or they cover that story we just did, and they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, that doesn't fit the narrative, you're out.
Yeah.
tim pool
Or they just don't pick it up, and they say, well, let's not do that again.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, so already you're having people attack Veritas for literally just filming what is going on.
To me, that's insane.
Let's read some more.
adam crigler
That's good news.
tim pool
KindaSelfAware says, a while back Facebook banned ads for the Epoch Times, prompted by an NBC smear piece.
Their source?
A New York professor that was schooled in Beijing.
And that's right, because the Epoch Times, I don't know anything about the controversy between them, the people who run it, but I just know they're anti-Chinese establishment.
They've been smeared as being a cult or something.
And you know what?
I'm sorry, man.
Maybe, but I'm not gonna trust the Chinese Communist Party.
Sorry.
lydia smith
The Epoch Times defended the, what is the name of that sect in China that was being persecuted?
unidentified
Falun Gong.
lydia smith
Yep, that's what they defended.
tim pool
No, no, the argument is that they are run by people who are in Falun Gong or whatever.
I don't know a whole lot about it, but I'll tell you what, I'm not going to use the Chinese Communist Party as a source.
No, no, no.
lydia smith
No way.
tim pool
All right, let's see.
Peter says, government, media, and most especially the federal bureaucrats all fumbled the response here.

Come on.
lydia smith
It's amazing.

Bofadiz says, oh right, the virus.

Oh.
lydia smith
Fantastic movie.
tim pool
Let's see, MD Brand says, they're reclassifying flu and pneumonia deaths as COVID and calling
any death COVID if it's discovered post-mortem that they were an asymptomatic carrier.
If they died and were infected, doesn't that mean they died from it?
lydia smith
I would think that they died of complications.
tim pool
Right. The problem is no one dies of the flu. They die of complications from the flu.
Pneumonia is a complication.
You know, there's a bunch of other things that could happen.
Dehydration.
And I have not seen any strong reporting that they are claiming people who died of other things died of COVID.
I have only heard one of those text message rumors.
My friend's grandma died of cancer, you know, 500 times.
But it's possible, for sure.
Wolfsbane says, hey, what's the VPN that you recommended?
Need to up to my cybersecurity, love your content, keep up the good work.
So this is not a promo spot because I don't want to be doing this, but I did mention for those that are asking, it's hidewithtim.com.
And I am not being paid in any way to mention this.
They're just a sponsor that I frequently have.
But for those that are asking, that's what it is.
It's called Virtual Shield.
And they've been with me since the very beginning.
My first sponsor, and I'm incredibly grateful that I have them, considering revenues dropping pretty much, you know.
And thanks to the Super Chats as well, but that's only for the question, not as a paid promo in any way.
I literally have to say that because YouTube will delete the video and ban me, unless I clarify.
lydia smith
That's a solid disclaimer.
tim pool
Yep.
Truculent Phillips.
I think I pronounced that right.

Hey, there you go.
Colton says, the media and others want Trump to lock us down, only want that so they can flip the claim he's an authoritarian fascist dictator.
Yeah, they're screeching that Trump won't lock the country down.
lydia smith
Yeah, he won't.
adam crigler
Yeah, that is weird.
tim pool
I don't want him to.
adam crigler
Like Pelosi said, was it today or yesterday?
And she was like, he needs to declare it right away and get it going.
It's like, yeah, wouldn't you ream him out for doing that?
tim pool
Well, so this is this is the complaint I had with them today was that they're claiming
Trump's slow response is costing lives and it's his fault.
And I'm like, on January 29th, he formed the task force to go after this while you were
doing impeachment.
So your own argument makes you look worse than he does.
adam crigler
Yeah, exactly.
Like, what?
tim pool
So great, he's bad and you're worse?
adam crigler
Yeah, basically.
lydia smith
Is he a fascist dictator or is he responding too weakly?
tim pool
He's an authoritarian weak man.
lydia smith
You have to choose!
tim pool
That's what they called him!
It was a Politico article.
They said Trump is an authoritarian weak man.
What?
So what does that mean?
He's like sitting there going like, I'd love to be a dictator.
I'm just scared to do it.
I guess that's what they're claiming.
It's like, okay, I accept that then.
He's not a dictator.
They're mad he won't force companies to produce stuff and he won't lock the country down.
It's so dumb.
It's like, he's too fascist, he's not fascist enough.
What's the right level of fascist for these people?
Nothing.
There's no answer.
adam crigler
No.
Anything he does.
Nope.
lydia smith
Does not exist.
tim pool
He could come out and be like, they're 100% right, I'm gonna do everything they say, and then they would call him weak and pathetic for bowing so quickly.
Push over, yeah.
Push over.
There's no answer, man.
That's why he just tells them all to shut up now.
lydia smith
Yeah, which I like.
tim pool
Yeah.
lydia smith
I'm getting on board with that.
tim pool
David says, it's funny all the Russia conspiracy stuff has disappeared.
The real problem has always been China.
Hopefully the world is paying attention.
Yeah, that's funny, for real.
BeastOnTheRun says, alright, that pizza question, we're going there.
Orange, sesame, peanut, or General Tso's chicken?
Also white or fried rice?
For me, I would probably say sesame chicken with the white rice.
adam crigler
I like sesame chicken.

At least we have a yard here.
I couldn't imagine being in New York where they're like, you must stay in your home and you're in like a cubicle apartment.
Yeah, my goodness.
Dude, I know people who have apartments in New York and it's like, one room was I think 20 feet by like 10 feet.
adam crigler
That's a big room for New York.
tim pool
That's pretty big.
adam crigler
For New York, that's huge.
tim pool
Oh, man.
Yeah, it's big.
Ranik says, do you think we will have to fight for the freedoms taken after the virus passes?
Police here in UK already abusing powers given by Parliament.
Oh, yeah, of course.
lydia smith
Definitely.
tim pool
It's gone.
No one's going to do anything about it.
They're going to roll over and be like, in two years, everyone's going to be like, don't forget, don't go outside.
You got it.
It's going to be normal.
Like, can't go outside.
They'll come and get you.
Jman says, Hideo Kojima was right 1000%.

Top 3 Super Nintendo games.
Go to PlayStation 1 or 2 if you missed out on the SNES.
Top Super Nintendo games?
Chrono Trigger.
adam crigler
Chrono Trigger?
tim pool
For sure.
Number 1.
adam crigler
Secret of Mana.
tim pool
Secret of Mana.
adam crigler
That probably would be number 1 for me.
tim pool
And, uh, man, third game is probably, I think it's called Seiken Densetsu, which was Secret of Mana Part 3 or something like that?
adam crigler
Super Mario 64.
tim pool
It's not an SNES game.
adam crigler
Oh, it's Super Nintendo.
tim pool
Super Nintendo.
adam crigler
Yeah, that was 64.

I mean, Super Mario World's a great game.
adam crigler
Zelda.
tim pool
Oh, yeah, definitely.
adam crigler
That was the first one I played.
tim pool
That was an amazing game.
adam crigler
That was good.
tim pool
Man, SNES was an incredible system.
adam crigler
It really was.
tim pool
You know what's really strange to me is that video games today all tend to be this, like, epic film quality type movies.
Just because we've developed the technology to make, you know, very virtual realistic games doesn't mean no one would, like, people don't want to play Legend of Zelda.
adam crigler
I agree.
tim pool
Like the A Link to the Past.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You could take that same structure for the game and make an entirely new one with new dungeons and new bad guys and new weapons.
adam crigler
They did.
tim pool
Oh, they did?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
What's it called?
adam crigler
Oh, I'm blanking on the name of it, but I know that you can go into, like, drawing world and you go up, you, like, become flat.
I forget the name of it.
It was really well done and it was a 3DS game.
tim pool
A lot of people have been doing, like, mods and stuff and there are a bunch of, like, similar versions, but The point I'm making is, you know, Spelunky.
adam crigler
We could do a whole subject on gaming.
I feel like we should, because you and I have a lot of... Some of the best games I've played have been very simple platformers, and there's a lot of great ones.
Spelunky is definitely up there for games, and it's not a long story.
It's Permadeath.
I was like, what has Permadeath nowadays?
It's like, not much.
Revenant, I don't know if anyone knows, it's a new PS4 game.
I don't know if it's just for PS4, but they have a Permadeath Like, you can play it regularly, but you can also play Permadeath, and it makes the game ten times more enjoyable, because your heart starts racing when you're almost dead.
You feel the pressure of, like, oh man, I need to stay alive, it has to be perfect.
It actually ruined other games for me, because I was like, man, this was so good, now my standard for games just went up.
tim pool
I feel like it was, you know, most games used to be permadeath.
You died, you got wiped out.
Not all games, but a lot of them.
adam crigler
That's true, yeah.
Continue or you're done.
tim pool
Or you get like three continues.
adam crigler
Right, and then you're done, yeah.
tim pool
And then I think they started to realize that people didn't want to have to do things over and earn it.
Remember the Nintendo days?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Like there were games that I would play where it's like you get to the final level and then there's no saving.
unidentified
Nope.
tim pool
You gotta play the whole game over again.
adam crigler
From the get-go, yeah.
But you'd master it, though.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Old-school gamers, man.
They can still make it, you know?
Dark Souls is one game that kinda does it well.
I mean, it's not Permadeath.
That'd be insane if Dark Souls had Permadeath, but... Yeah, and it's good.
It feels old-school-like.
Go ahead.
tim pool
We've heard that a lot.
We'll do our best.
Interesting.
No way.
Yeah, that's scary.
Because you're basically creating a chance for the government to just claim things.
says what do you think about germany issuing immunity certificates only
Yeah.
allowing people with an immunity search to be part of society and bill gates in
an interview suggesting the same thing here in the u.s.
no way yeah that's that's because you're basically creating a chance for the
government to just claim things yeah you're not immune go to your house lock
the door yeah what do you mean you're not going to get the shot you mean so
adam crigler
it's basically a government it's telling you you have to do something
tim pool
It's giving the government the ability to lock someone up.
adam crigler
That's too much power.
tim pool
From arbitrary standpoints.
We have a constitution, man.
That's why we can't allow them to do it.
Student of History said, so I'm going to just come out and say it.
When this is all said and done, we're going to end up breaking China's economy because we're hopefully going to shock pull everything out and tell them to pound sand.
Yup.
Gustavo says, this is a 2015 study warning China of the dangers in regards to this virus they knew and didn't prepare.
Oh, oh, worse than that.
They knew and were fiddling around and transferring these things without proper documentation.
adam crigler
Crazy.
tim pool
Michael Cameron says, with all the talk about war and financial collapse, is there any chance things will just de-escalate?
Of course.
adam crigler
Definitely.
tim pool
Absolutely.
adam crigler
Honestly, I think that's what's going to happen.
tim pool
I don't know.
adam crigler
I wouldn't... See, that's the optimistic versus the pessimistic.
Tim's not really the optimist.
Realistic?
tim pool
Idealistic versus realistic?
adam crigler
Sure.
tim pool
I don't know.
Maybe.
But we have seen an escalation over the past several years in several different areas.
And it de-escalates a little bit, and then things go crazy, and I think the internet makes it a lot harder to de-escalate.
lydia smith
I think you're right.
tim pool
Because the information... You know, like, you get mad at somebody, and then you don't see them for a week.
You kind of cool down.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
But what if you saw everything they did constantly every single day, you'd keep sitting there stewing and getting angry and like, you know, being frustrated and you know what I mean?
Not everybody has the ability to just chill out.
adam crigler
Yeah, to stay angry you have to continually remind yourself why you're angry.
So the internet is basically reminding you why you're angry over and over.
Right.
tim pool
And what do you think China's going to do when we pull all the manufacturing out and now their economy takes a major hit?
adam crigler
They're going to be happy.
They're going to be angry.
I think they're already taking a hit and then to continue with that, yeah.
tim pool
Sprite Cola says, just personally experienced a 6.5 magnitude earthquake myself.
Anyone else who lives in the Northwest states stay safe.
Wow.
unidentified
6.5.
tim pool
That's crazy.
adam crigler
You know, I keep hearing this thing about earthquakes, earthquakes, earthquakes.
And it's like, I read about, I dug in a little bit and there's over 10,000 earthquakes, like a year in California.
Like that's normal.
It's normal.
Yeah.
So along the West coast, it's pretty normal to have earthquakes.
I mean, But this one, the apocalypse.
tim pool
All the other ones, no big deal.
lydia smith
The numbers I've been seeing have been a little bit higher.
Maybe they're just being reported more because we want it to be the end of the world or something?
adam crigler
I think that's exactly it.
People are like, oh wait, it's an earthquake.
Now I'm home and it has nothing better to talk about.
So there's an earthquake.
lydia smith
I really don't want to talk about this other thing.
tim pool
Let's talk about it.
It's like, you know, it's not confirmation bias.
You know, like when you first learn a new word and you see it everywhere?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Dunning-Kruger.
Dunning-Kruger.
Yeah, some effect where it like, you know, it's the opposite of out of sight, out of mind.
adam crigler
Or buying a new car, then you see all the cars.
You're like, oh hey, they're everywhere.
tim pool
Hey look, it's the same car as me.
Eggman says, I honestly hope that we don't go to war with China.
Not that I don't think we have the means to fight back, but rather because of all the, quote, Americans who have already bent the knee to the Red Dragon.
Yeah.
Travis Potter says, wife wants the D too much.
What should I do?
I need to go back to work.
Well, you must give the wife what she needs.
lydia smith
Do the housework.
tim pool
Robert says, please bring Mr. Medicare on.
He's laser focused on all of this.
I mean, we were doing guests and then we got quarantined and then we had to cancel a bunch of people.
So, and let's say we're not really set up for like Skype stuff, you know what I mean?
adam crigler
But we will have guests back eventually.
tim pool
Yes.
adam crigler
That is the plan.
tim pool
We have this whole space.
adam crigler
Everything's gonna pass.
tim pool
Eventually.
And then the world would become safe again.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Not familiar.
I'll check him out.
Harry Houdini or Mad Jack Churchill man makes great great content not familiar
I'll check him out Bobby Arrogant says has Adam started working on his cover he
asked for recommendations about and what did he decide on for his cover I yeah
adam crigler
sent out a tweet asking what kind of cover should I do Like music?
Yeah, music.
And there was a bad religion song that someone suggested and it's pretty good.
It's pretty good.
What song is it?
I forget the name of it but because honestly when I pick up a guitar my main goal is not to learn covers.
I thought about Doing something like a cover a week or something and every all the songs that I picked are really hard to play on the guitar and You know, it takes a long time to be able to play it and sing it and I like to play and sing so This bad religion songs pretty cool, but I've been working more on my own stuff as of late.
tim pool
So or it but yeah Right on We will be recording soon.
Justin O'Toole says, please say hippity hoppity get off my property in Korean if you actually speak Korean.

tim pool
I don't know any Korean.

Shield Lab says, if you want to take a break from COVID-19 and make a fun video on conspiracies, look into the Denver airport.
Oh, I know about the Denver airport.
lydia smith
Oh, so do I.
adam crigler
I don't know about the Denver airport.
tim pool
Look up there.
Bizarre murals.
30 foot tall horse statue with red eyes.
Blucifer.
Gargoyles in underground buildings.
adam crigler
Cool.
tim pool
There's creepy stuff at the Denver airport.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
Yeah.
lydia smith
It's like a haunted airport.
tim pool
No, no, no.
Why?
It's a New World Order conspiracy thing.
It's so fascinating.
Not that I believe in it.
It's just... Okay.
Here's what I read, like, a long time ago.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
There was an airport in Denver.
It got shut down and they rebuilt a new one, like, very far away.
And they have this giant blue statue with glowing eyes.
lydia smith
Yep.
tim pool
There's a mural of... The new one or the old one?
lydia smith
The new one.
adam crigler
The new one does.
tim pool
The new one's got a giant horse, like, with glowing eyes.
It's blue and it's, like, creepy.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And there's, like, a mural of a bunch of people rushing to a little Aryan-looking child with an iron fist being raised up.
I guess, word of God.
lydia smith
It's all under construction right now.
tim pool
Is it?
lydia smith
Yeah, it's going to be under construction until like 2022 or something.
tim pool
Have you seen this stuff?
lydia smith
That's my airport, dude.
tim pool
Yeah, I mean, I've read about it on the internet.
That's why I'm like, I don't know if it's true.
lydia smith
Oh, I never sent you pictures of it?
unidentified
Because I walked through there and I was like, yeah, I was like, what's happening?
tim pool
And so my favorite thing is, you want to know what the best conspiracy theory is?
adam crigler
No.
tim pool
All right.
No, you don't want to know what it is.
lydia smith
Yeah, I want to know.
tim pool
You'll regret it.
I swear, I read this.
It was like a GeoCities website ten years ago.
lydia smith
Oh, man, GeoCities.
tim pool
Yeah, just like a really crappy, like, you know, early 2090s, like, website with, like, you know, Jif skeletons dancing and, like, Macho Man Randy Savage doing a, you know, jig.
Random colors.
Random colors.
And a bunch of pictures, and they claim that there are several sub-basements of the airport And that the Denver airport is actually a hub to bring you to the subterranean realm of the lizard people.
And that beneath the Earth's crust several miles are a bunch of major cities of lizard people because there was a species of dinosaur that was extremely intelligent.
And when the extinction event happened, they fled into caves and learned to survive underground.
And they can't survive on the surface because the sunlight would kill them because their skin and their eyes can't handle it.
lydia smith
Well, that makes sense.
tim pool
So they live underground, and we use the Denver Airport to go down into the earth where their cities are.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
That's a fun conspiracy.
unidentified
I'll tell you what.
lydia smith
I have gotten lost in the airport, and I would probably believe this conspiracy theory.
It's a little creepy.
tim pool
It would make a fun movie, but come on.
I know.
Some crazy, like, artists are nuts, man.
Come on.
Look at these people who go to art school, and they get no real job, and they complain about everything, and they splash paint on the wall, and they're like, art!
Yeah, somebody made a statue of a crazy horse, and it was like, yeah!
adam crigler
Yeah, whenever I see really bad art in places like that, I'm like, oh, that person knows somebody.
tim pool
Yeah, exactly.
adam crigler
Someone at the airport is like, I have a lot of money allocated to art.
Hey, you got some art you want to show?
And he's like, do I ever.
Come to my warehouse.
tim pool
Or someone is sleeping with somebody.
lydia smith
Yep, definitely.
For sure.
Well, here's what I don't understand.
They all act like this is some big, ancient mystery.
They just built this airport.
tim pool
Right.
lydia smith
What were they doing?
Someone had to build a giant blue horse with red eyes.
tim pool
Yeah, I know.
lydia smith
Ooh, it didn't just grow out of the ground.
adam crigler
Nope, it was someone's bad art project.
lydia smith
They commissioned somebody and made a weird... Seriously, it's weird.
tim pool
Right, like... Art.
adam crigler
Look, look, man.
tim pool
I use that term loosely.
I would actually pay a large sum of money In order for that to be true, that there was a secret civilization of lizard people beneath the Earth's crust orchestrating, like, a political takeover.
lydia smith
I'd like that to be true.
tim pool
Yeah, because life is routine and we're trapped in our houses and the virus is boring.
adam crigler
Cue, like, the scene where the lizard people scientists are like, yes, the coronavirus is working just as planned.
unidentified
Once we purge the sky dwellers, we'll take over the land for ourselves.
tim pool
Yes!
And then Hillary Clinton is down there and she's a hybrid.
That's actually the conspiracy!
adam crigler
Unzips her skin and steps out.
Finally I can be free!
tim pool
No, the conspiracy is that she's half lizard person.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
tim pool
Like, yeah, that the lizard people created hybrids to, like, take over our government and control us, and that everything we're doing is working towards giving them access to the surface or something.
So, we're going to create a runaway greenhouse effect, nuclear bombs are going to blot out the sun, and then they can come to the surface and, you know, all that stuff.
lydia smith
That's an excellent plan.
I like it.
tim pool
I don't know, I don't know.
It's fun though, right?
lydia smith
How did we get here, Tim?
tim pool
Lizard people.
lydia smith
Yes.
tim pool
Have you seen those videos where, like, do you know what artifacting is?
adam crigler
No, but I want to know.
tim pool
So, in a digital video, artifacting is when there's just like a weird blotch will appear because, you know, the code or something happened.
It's like a low-quality video.
adam crigler
This is not going where I hoped it would go.
tim pool
No. And so what happens is these videos are popping up where it's like Joe Biden and Hillary
Clinton and then she'll smile and it's like a 480p really low quality video and people will look at
it and they'll see like a weird glitch in her face and they'll freeze frame and go, did you...
Remember that David Firth video we watched?
adam crigler
Which one?
tim pool
The News Hasn't Happened Yet?
lydia smith
Yes.
tim pool
And he keeps making fun of this, where like, you'll see a news anchor talking and then it'll freeze and then some guy's face will appear and he'll be like, did you just see that?
He's not even really there.
And then that freezes.
And then another face emerges and he's like, that's a fake truth seeker right there.
Look at his face, there's no shadow.
People used to do that all the time.
adam crigler
That guy is pretty funny.
tim pool
David Firth?
adam crigler
Pretty good.
tim pool
If you guys don't know who David Firth is, check out his YouTube channel.
You're gonna be confused.
And if you like morbid humor, his videos are amazing.
adam crigler
But no one has anything else to do, so go do it.
lydia smith
It's hilarious.
tim pool
He's got three of these videos called The News Hasn't Happened Yet, and they are all some of the most amazing, ridiculous, absurdist nonsense ever.
But Paul Joseph Watson's in it.
Alex Jones is in it.
Jimmy Dore is in it, which is awesome.
adam crigler
Well, they're in it.
tim pool
Right, right, right.
He superimposes his face on Alex Jones' body, and then it's like him ranting.
I love it, dude.
It's so incredible.
adam crigler
Yeah, check it out.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
tim pool
All right, let's read some more.
Why am I wrong about the ending of Watchmen?
Says ChinaIsButHO.
All right.
adam crigler
They're W.H.O.?
Is that what they're saying?
tim pool
Is Buttho.
lydia smith
Yes.
adam crigler
Oh.
lydia smith
Yes, that video.
tim pool
Harry Boninski says, yeah, you guys are streaming again.
I am stuck in my house working from home and I would rather watch you than listen to Nancy Pelosi prepare for an investigation next.
Have some Hanukkah gelt in case YouTube demonetizes.
lydia smith
Thanks, man.
tim pool
I can't stand listening to Nancy Pelosi talk.
adam crigler
I can't either.
I was watching that thing that she was talking about wanting Trump to do something.
All I can think of is she looks like a robot.
tim pool
She's just 80 years old.
adam crigler
She kind of resembles what I would think is the first wave robots.
tim pool
And she's the San Francisco Congresswoman, right?
That's where Silicon Valley is.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
That's where they make the robots.
lydia smith
We're talking about lizard people.
unidentified
Whoa.
tim pool
They're not lizards.
They're robots!
lydia smith
Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
tim pool
Adam, you've proved it!
lydia smith
Oh, yeah.
adam crigler
I knew it.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
No, they're down controlling the robots, like surrogates.
tim pool
Oh, yeah, yeah.
The lizard people.
adam crigler
The lizard people.
tim pool
Oh, yeah, that makes sense.
adam crigler
Have their, like, brain thing that they can control the surrogate from below.
tim pool
And now the lizard people who control YouTube are going, blast!
unidentified
They're onto us!
tim pool
Well, uh, let's see, um... Why Am I Wrong says, sorry for the grammar, YouTube is working for China.
Joe John- oh, we just jumped again.
unidentified
Uh-oh.
tim pool
We're getting slammed with these superchats, there are just too many.
adam crigler
Yeah, we should probably move forward.
tim pool
Yeah, we're gonna have to- we're gonna have to start speeding things up.
Sorry guys.
All right, let's see.
Aaron Garcia says, if we were to go to war with China, do you think it would be BRICS versus NATO?
I really can't see India siding with China.
Maybe.
So the BRICS nations, it's an economic alignment versus like the NATO nations, which is, they're both strategic alignments.
Maybe, maybe not.
adam crigler
Okay.
I didn't actually know that.
I was imagining like someone throwing a brick and NATO just laser defense.
tim pool
Bricks is Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, I think.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
tim pool
And so it's like an economic thing.
adam crigler
Yeah, right.
tim pool
Maybe.
It's a large alignment of, you know, very powerful entities, and they have economic interests that are opposed to ours.
But, you know, we'll see.
Like, you know, Brazil and the U.S., they're kind of okay with each other.
For the most part.
I mean, there's some weird stuff.
Like, you need a visa to go to Brazil.
Because the U.S.
required Brazilians' visas to come to the U.S., so Brazil was like, fine, then, you know?
You need a visa to come here.
So now it's like actually rather decently difficult.
It's not really that hard.
It takes a couple days to go and take care of, but I don't know, man.
It's hard to know who the belligerents in the war would be, like what the factions would be.
Though everyone against China, they'd be like, hey, this is your fault.
That's why it's hard to imagine that traditional warfare could exist in this day and age.
I just don't think it could.
adam crigler
I agree.
Yeah.
tim pool
All right, let's see what we got here.
J Mac says, I've seen a lot of YouTuber personalities getting interviews with Dr. Fauci, DeFranco, Lilly Singh, and Shapiro interviewed Dr. Birx.
Is there any chance that you might get an interview with any task force representatives?
You've been covering this stuff for a while.
I don't know, maybe.
Maybe not.
It would be cool to have a guest on, but because of the, you know, I don't know how we'd figure it out.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah.
Maybe we'll make him come in a full hazmat suit.
lydia smith
Yeah.
That's the only way we can do it.
adam crigler
We can have like a mannequin with like a screen face.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
I don't know.
tim pool
Yeah.
And we'll make the arms go like this so that while he's talking the body's doing weird stuff.
lydia smith
That'd be great.
unidentified
You know?
adam crigler
Doing a robot dance.
tim pool
Molly, thanks for becoming a member.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
The F'n Bill, thanks for becoming a member.

Also thanks.
tim pool
Mr. BH says, seeing this story, if not thoughts, I don't know what story that is and I don't think I can click it, sorry.
Jay Barnard says, Doom Eternal is a good game for the heart pump.
Is that true?
adam crigler
Yes.
tim pool
Excellent.
adam crigler
It's not easy.
tim pool
No?
adam crigler
No, it's, I'm playing it on normal and it's quite difficult.
I die quite often and I'm fairly good at games, so.
tim pool
So are you basically just saying you're bad at video games?
adam crigler
No, I just followed it up by saying I'm fairly good at games.
unidentified
I don't know, you're playing on normal and uh... I'm just kidding.
tim pool
That's alright.
adam crigler
It's pretty tough.
tim pool
Graboid says, who would win in a fight?
Soy Jesus or the Invisible Lady?
I vote Invisible Lady because you can't see her coming.
Also, my brother thinks you're alt-right, and I have no idea why.
What?
adam crigler
Wait, me?
Thinks I'm alright?
tim pool
No, I think he's talking about me.
Yeah, you wouldn't win a fight against Lydia because you wouldn't be able to see her.
lydia smith
You can't see me?
Ooh, where am I?
tim pool
You'd be spinning around.
You'd have to close your eyes and use your sense of hearing.
adam crigler
Where is she?
tim pool
Where is she?
lydia smith
I'm very quiet.
tim pool
I appreciate the joke, the implication that because you can't see her, we can't either.
lydia smith
That's right.
tim pool
Gamer Girl says, do you know when the last time law in any country was removed from the books?
Australian's government has made a law we can't go outside unless buying food for some reason, but otherwise illegal.
I mean, a bunch of laws get repealed all the time, but we do have like...
There's weird laws where, like, in Rhode Island, you can't take a shower on Tuesday.
For real.
I'm making that one up, but they're like that.
adam crigler
I'm okay.
tim pool
There are laws where it's like, you can't make cherry pies on Sunday morning.
lydia smith
Yeah, very much for the era.
tim pool
And it's because it made sense.
So, like, the showering thing made sense because they had finite water.
And so they said, here's the one day no one can shower.
And there were laws about, like, cherry pies because of, like, the cherry harvest and, like, the animals that would come around.
But now that we live in different times and we mass-produce all these things, nobody cares.
But you could still make a cherry pie in your 17th story condo in Boston, and theoretically they could be- But no judges- It's not cherry season.
unidentified
Jail!
tim pool
But this is what the judges are for.
Judges interpret the law.
So the judge is going to be like, You arrested them for making a bike, you know what, get out of here.
They're going to hold a cop in contempt for doing that.
What are you doing?
adam crigler
I actually heard a judge say that to a cop because I was arrested for skateboarding.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
And there was a, you know how like in Brooklyn, they would open up the fire hydrants and there would be splashing everywhere.
So I ollied onto the curb, went around the water and ollied back into the curb or into the street.
And I was just continuing skating.
Like a half a block later, four cops came sprinting at me.
And I'm like, whoa, whoa, like, where's the fire guys?
Like, you got me, you know?
And I like walked over and they're like, yeah, yeah, you know, we're giving you a ticket.
And I don't actually remember.
It was four.
It was silly.
And I was like, why?
And they're like, we, you know, we saw you on the sidewalk.
And it's like, it's not illegal to go on the sidewalk.
It is.
Is it?
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
It is.
tim pool
Skateboarding in general is illegal.
Like skateboarding period.
adam crigler
Okay.
Well, I went, I went into, I was like, all right, well, whatever.
And I looked on the ticket and it said that I said, you got me.
So it was like admitted to a fault.
tim pool
You got me.
adam crigler
And the judge was like, What are you here for?
And I explained to him and he was like, that is ridiculous.
And he looked at the cop.
He's like, this is ridiculous.
And he looked back at me and you can go.
tim pool
And I was like, I got arrested for skateboarding in Chicago.
And the cops charged me with like a class A misdemeanor for state, uh, for criminal damage to state property, which is like a serious offense.
It's a year.
And when I went to court, the judge was like, you know, called my name and said, uh, charged with criminal damage to state property.
And he was like, I don't remember exactly what he said, but the DA was like, Mr. Poole was skateboarding in downtown Chicago, and as you know, skateboarding can cause damage to property.
And the judge takes his glasses off and he goes like, what?
And then I'm standing up, standing there like, I have no idea what's going on.
And they're like, yes, your honor, it says here that he was skateboarding.
He looks at me and he goes, you were skateboarding in downtown Chicago?
I'm like, yes, your honor.
What else were you doing?
I was riding my skateboard and like jumping on stuff.
And he was like, get out of my courtroom.
He said SOL or something.
Get out of my courtroom.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And he got really angry.
Yeah.
adam crigler
People wasted his time.
tim pool
Right.
Yep.
I can imagine like, could you imagine if someone showed up to your workplace and was like, I'm going to give you extra paperwork right here for no reason.
You'd be like, are you kidding me?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I want to go home.
I want to deal with this.
And I got some kid who was riding his skate out of here.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And I was like, but I got to spend like, I think like, you know, 10 hours in jail.
Like I got to spend overnight in jail.
The police use the arrest as the punishment.
They know you're not going to get convicted.
They know it's the court's going to get angry about it, but they know they can get you off the street and they can punish you and you won't do it again.
That's what they do in New York.
They do it to activists.
adam crigler
Well, they do have their quotas to fill.
tim pool
Yeah, but not for that.
adam crigler
In New York, they have arrest quotas.
Yeah, they have to fill their quotas, man.
Wow.
Not necessarily for arrests, for tickets.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, fines.
tim pool
Yeah, so they'll give you a fine for ridiculous stuff.
adam crigler
Stupid, man.
unidentified
Yup.
tim pool
All right, let's see what we got here.
Matthew, thanks for the super chat.
Harry To says, hey Adam, have you thought about starting a gamer stream on YouTube, Twitch, and play games with members?
adam crigler
Well, you're not the first person to ask me that, and I really should get on it because people keep asking for it.
So yeah, I should do it.
tim pool
Adam says, Adam Collins says, now that the gyms are closed, prices for home gym equipment have skyrocketed.
Screw toilet paper, I should have hoarded dumbbells.
lydia smith
Yeah, they were all sold out.
tim pool
Yup.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Fulbeard says, have you been able to check out the Duncan Lemp story?
I have not.
I just care a lot because he was a friend through a mutual Facebook group.
He's a good guy.
Interesting.
adam crigler
You know, I actually have a real life friend who hit me up and was like, do you know about this?
Like, I would like to hear about it.
Yeah, I looked it up.
This guy was basically shot to death in the middle of the night.
And the cops are saying that he wouldn't put his gun down, but the family's like, he was sleeping in his bed and the cops just shot up the house.
lydia smith
21 year old with his girlfriend.
adam crigler
Oh, man.
Let's do that one tomorrow.
Yeah, we'll talk about it.
tim pool
And then we've just alerted the lizard people that we're going to talk about it, so perhaps you, tonight, someone will show up and you will refuse to.
Dylan says, Winston Mad Jack Churchill.
Only man to fight with a broadsword and bow during World War II.
True story.
Really?
Winston Churchill did that?
lydia smith
That sounds right.
tim pool
That's pretty cool.
The effing bill says, new member as of tonight, and a little off topic, but can you guys give me your thoughts on the idea of legalized prostitution in all 50 states?
Good idea or bad idea?
Good idea.
100%.
lydia smith
Freedom!
adam crigler
We talked about it.
tim pool
Dude, if you're an adult, what's the difference between you going to a woman and be like, I'm gonna take you out to a very fancy dinner, and a night in the town, and I'll pay for all of it, and then I expect you to sleep with me, and versus being like, how about you decide what you do with the money after the fact, and you sleep with me?
It's the same.
unidentified
Dang.
tim pool
Right.
lydia smith
It's the exact same thing.
tim pool
I don't see a difference.
It's ridiculous to me.
adam crigler
It's going to happen anyway.
tim pool
Consenting adults can't go about their business.
In fact, if they regulated it, they can control for diseases and reduce the crime rate.
adam crigler
Hey, government, you can probably tax it.
lydia smith
You could get rid of a lot of the violence against women who do that, too.
unidentified
Violence, period.
tim pool
That's my deal.
There are dudes who get drugged and then robbed.
lydia smith
Right, exactly.
tim pool
You know what I mean?
lydia smith
Yeah, Cardi B did that.
tim pool
I think Nevada has legal brothels.
Do they?
adam crigler
I don't know if the brothels are a thing, but... I don't know.
I have no idea.
lydia smith
Yeah, I'm not sure.
I think it is in Las Vegas.
tim pool
I don't know.
I just think you legalize it, you regulate it, you can control for STDs and diseases.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yep.
tim pool
You can reduce the crime rate.
This is the problem with government trying to prohibit things.
It's like light regulation works so much better than prohibition.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
We learned that the hard way with alcohol prohibition.
lydia smith
Yeah, that's what happened with marijuana in Colorado, too.
tim pool
Yep.
Sandra, thanks for the super chat, says, pizza fund.
Excellent.
Nice.
And, uh, just jumped on us.
There we go.
Nathan says, here in New Zealand, before the shutdown, the gun shop had lines outside of mostly Asians.
Couldn't get guns, obviously, but a lot walked out with crossbows.
Whoa, crossbows.
adam crigler
Anything they can get their hands on.
lydia smith
That's right.
tim pool
Dude, I watched this, we were watching this show, it was like a History Channel Top 10 Ancient Things, and it was an Asian, like, repeating crossbow.
So the way it worked is that there was like, it's a crossbow, but there was like a long wooden cartridge full of bolts.
adam crigler
That would come up the middle?
tim pool
No, and when you pull it up, like, the string would catch, and then you'd pull it down, and every time you clamped it, it would pull the string back and snap it, and fire.
lydia smith
It was like an automatic arrow.
tim pool
Kind of.
It was repeating, so you'd have a chamber, and you can just crank the crossbow, like, you're holding it like this, and you're going like, one, boom, boom, or something like that, and it would go, boom, boom, and it made, basically, peasants a formidable army for, like, yeah, it's crazy.
lydia smith
Unstoppable.
Yeah.
tim pool
All right, let's see what we got.
Bobcat, thanks for joining, becoming a member.
John Perry says, the Western culture is too sensitive to death.
I was in the army, I am desensitized about death.
We as a people need to let this pandemic burn through everybody.
The weaker going to die, the stronger going to live.
We are a part of the food chain and we have forgotten that.
Well, I agree to a certain extent, not like, you know, a lot of people in, I think the general consensus among the media is like, no one can die ever, no matter what.
And I'm a little bit more harsh on that, like, look, people are gonna die no matter what we do.
lydia smith
Yeah, unfortunately.
adam crigler
And if the economy tanks... Everybody dies.
Newsflash!
tim pool
Not the lizard people.
lydia smith
Oh yeah, right, yeah.
adam crigler
I'm sure they die.
They live forever.
No, they die too.
tim pool
No, but I mean, I think the reality is, if the economy is suspended, people will die.
If the economy restrictions are lifted, people will die.
We don't know which will be worse, so someone's gonna have to pull the trigger, make the hard decision.
Nobody wants to do it, but I don't know what to tell you, man.
Because sitting around doing nothing, there's literally... If we do nothing, we die.
adam crigler
That's why Pelosi's trying to get Trump to pull the trigger, so she can blame him for it.
So they can be like, it's Trump's fault, see?
tim pool
All right, let's see.
425 says, I live right next to the Denver International Airport property.
Place is indeed creepy, and they have been removing convoys of dirt away from the property for months, digging tunnels, man.
I'm telling you, it's to get to the lizard people!
adam crigler
If you're right next door, maybe you can start digging in and see if you can... I should get a suit jacket and a stack of papers.
unidentified
People, listen!
adam crigler
The Denver Airport!
Is that Alex Jones?
lydia smith
Yeah, that's Alex Jones.
unidentified
If you don't think that the lizard people are coming up from Denver Airport!
adam crigler
I've actually never seen anything from him.
lydia smith
That's a pretty good impression.
unidentified
Is it?
lydia smith
Yeah, you'll be impressed by Tim's impression.
Adam, if you've never seen him.
adam crigler
I mean, he's good at impressions.
tim pool
I was in Sweden and I think I was in the town of Södertälje.
I was eating at a Thai restaurant with Emily and all of a sudden we heard Alex Jones behind us and we were like, what?
We turned around and it was three young dudes with one guy holding a phone showing Alex Jones yelling and then ripping his shirt off and they were laughing and I was like, wow man, people They love this guy.
He's hilarious.
lydia smith
He's funny, yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, they love watching him.
It was described to me as the WWE of news.
lydia smith
Yes, definitely.
adam crigler
I've been to Europe a lot over the past 10, 15 years, and one thing I've learned is they love to laugh at Americans.
lydia smith
They're a little snotty.
adam crigler
I mean, no, Americans like to laugh at Americans.
lydia smith
We sure do.
unidentified
That's true.
adam crigler
I mean, we have so many people here.
There's so many stupid people that do stupid things.
lydia smith
We have a lot of people, period.
tim pool
So it's an excellent opportunity to find stupid people.
lydia smith
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
Alright, let's see.
Well, we got one more.
Horsehead says, Adam, don't wear your beanie too much or you'll end up like Tim with a symbiote.
lydia smith
That's true.
adam crigler
It's to keep the hair out of my face for the most part.
tim pool
Shall we jump to the next horrifying story?
adam crigler
Well, I don't know.
I don't even think it's that horrifying, because this is a significantly lower number than they said long ago.
tim pool
Yeah, 240,000 dead.
adam crigler
When this first started happening, they were like, 3.4%.
It's going to hit 70% of everybody.
That's roughly 1 to 2 million people or something dead.
tim pool
I don't know, but I got bad news for you, man.
They were saying that if we do nothing, we can expect a range of between 1 million and 7 million.
adam crigler
Yeah, if we do nothing.
If we don't social distance.
tim pool
And they're saying now if we do full-on social distancing and full-on lockdown, 100,000 to 240,000 dead.
adam crigler
That's significantly lower than what they were saying in the beginning.
tim pool
No, no, no.
It's not at all.
It's two different metrics.
unidentified
True.
adam crigler
But I mean, if there's going to be a choice between 100,000 and 1 million, 2 million, what are you going to choose?
tim pool
Then all you're really saying is we should lock down.
adam crigler
The numbers are different metrics.
tim pool
The first number is if we don't lock down, millions die.
If we do lock down, hundreds of thousands die.
That's why we're locking down.
adam crigler
Yeah.
Well, right now we are already locked down, right?
Right.
Or more so.
tim pool
We are for the most part locked down.
I think like 30 states, 31 states.
lydia smith
75% of Americans, I thought, was the last number I saw.
tim pool
Are not locked down?
lydia smith
They are locked down.
tim pool
But there's a lot of states that haven't locked down at all.
So what they're saying here, and this was really annoying because there was a story going around that this, like, famous researcher had changed the numbers.
That, like, he was initially saying millions would die, now he's saying only 20,000.
It's not true.
He was saying that if we lock down, the UK can expect 20,000 dead.
If we don't, it can be half a million.
For us in the US, they think the rate, worst case scenario, with like a 3.4, a 3% mortality rate, we're looking at, like, 7 million dead.
If we completely lock down... So here's the reason the numbers change.
Our healthcare system can handle a certain capacity.
After it's overcapacity, the mortality rate will skyrocket.
Right.
So the mortality rate is actually decently low for the U.S.
It's like, what, what do you say, .6% or something?
lydia smith
.66?
tim pool
Compared to the world's 3.7?
Yeah.
And it's because we have hospitals for people to go to.
adam crigler
But that's also not taking into account the economy being completely stalled.
So, like, if we're all in our homes and the economy is just slowly stopping, like the wheel is coming to a stop, It's like, okay, we've successfully, like, we only have a hundred thousand that have passed away because of this.
Let's get back to work.
And everyone's like, what work?
You know, there's no jobs, right?
Food's not there.
And then, then it's not the coronavirus that's killing people.
It's like lack of food and writing and all the other stuff.
Yeah, the rent strike is coming, right?
Yep.
I saw a Google search.
The Googling not being able to pay rent hit.
Oh, that's new.
tim pool
The lights just shut off on us.
Perhaps the assassin is coming to finish us off.
adam crigler
I feel the lights are still pretty good just with these two.
lydia smith
That's not bad.
adam crigler
But that is really weird that that would have happened.
tim pool
Yeah, that is weird.
So, uh, for those that are watching... How many?
What, three of the lights just turned off?
adam crigler
Hopefully they're still watching.
Yeah, they're still there.
tim pool
Look, man.
adam crigler
This is weird.
tim pool
You're talking about that Duncan feller?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Well, they gotta cut the lights before they come and finish us off.
Oh, gosh.
unidentified
We're not lying in bed yet, though, so... Yeah, you made a joke about it.
adam crigler
It's like, hmm.
What else have we talked about?
tim pool
They move quickly.
adam crigler
I think it's even more damning, the first subject that we were talking about.
Because they seem to have wanted to keep that...
tim pool
Under wraps?
lydia smith
Under wraps.
adam crigler
Why isn't anyone talking about it?
I'm still kind of shocked that more people are not talking about the fact that China was smuggling in this virus.
Not necessarily this exact strain, but SARS and MERS, both.
He had both of them.
tim pool
He poked in the bear.
I think, look, let's do this.
Because we can talk about the tanking economy and all that stuff, but I think the big issue... Alright, so we've seen the numbers.
100,000, 240,000 are expected to die with social distancing and lockdown.
That's really, really bad.
But it's better than the million plus, like the low-end estimate with no lockdown was a million plus dead.
adam crigler
Yeah, but also, before we move on to the Rennstrike, I also had that article about how Germany is testing everybody, and their death rate is actually only like, for people under 40, it's really low, like .16 or something.
tim pool
And so what we're learning from that is the mortality rate's probably artificially high because we don't test everybody.
adam crigler
Exactly.
We don't know.
And not everybody gets the classic symptoms.
tim pool
But here's the other issue.
adam crigler
It's affecting everybody.
tim pool
We don't test everybody for the flu.
unidentified
That's true.
tim pool
We don't test anybody.
True.
You're right.
So why would we give the flu a very low estimate and ignore it and then give a really high estimate?
It's the same metrics.
If we're looking at the flu and saying, here's what we think, and we're looking at the coronavirus and saying, here's what we think, we're using the exact same method to test for what we think, and the coronavirus is worse.
You see what I'm saying?
adam crigler
I do.
tim pool
Yeah, so whether or not we decide to lock everything down and just live in caves and then grow food in our basements because we have a mushroom, you know.
lydia smith
Yeah, mushrooms.
adam crigler
I don't know.
I'm inclined to think that it's not as bad as I originally thought.
tim pool
I think it's worse.
I think it is really bad.
adam crigler
I thought it was really, really bad though before and now I'm seeing the numbers and it's like, it's unhealthy people that are being hit by this that are, I mean, it's not the flu.
It is worse than the flu, you know?
So I thought it was going to be significantly worse than it is.
So I'm finding out it's not as bad as I thought.
lydia smith
Maybe you just had different perspectives.
tim pool
The only, the anecdotal, the stories I've seen from people, it's not the smokers and the obese people.
Of course, those people that are dying.
But I think that could be because the healthier people are living, so they tell their stories, and their stories are horrifying.
One dude did a Twitter thread where he was like, at first I had some coughs, it was not linear like any other illness I've ever had, that's what the guy said.
He was like, typically I feel like I'm getting sick, it gets really bad and then slowly gets better.
He's like, with this, it was like, I felt kind of sick, the next day I felt fine, the next day I was coughing up blood.
For two days, I coughed up blood.
A day later, I felt a little bit better.
The next day, I felt really, really, really good.
And then a day later, I was back to coughing up blood with a fever, struggling, and laying in bed.
So, the stories that I've seen from people who have made it through this are horrifying.
Like, people dropping dead, passing out, wheezing, collapsing.
And I think the people who are likely to die, you know, like, we have it.
The CDC says, straight up.
CDC says diabetes, lung disease, heart disease, and smoking may increase risk of severe coronavirus illness.
adam crigler
Makes sense.
tim pool
And this is from, you know, like an hour ago.
And, well, yeah, of course.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
That's true for anything.
adam crigler
Yeah, it makes sense.
tim pool
But what's crazy is the healthy people, like 21-year-old woman in the UK just dies.
Okay.
adam crigler
Was she a smoker?
Do you know that?
tim pool
No, she was not.
That's the point.
adam crigler
It didn't say that.
tim pool
It read the whole article with you.
Dude, the stories I'm specifically referring to that I brought up are like an athlete, American lacrosse player with no underlying symptoms being put in a coma.
Like, these stories are scary.
adam crigler
Have you seen the Game Changers yet?
See, my mind keeps going to this documentary.
tim pool
Nah, dude.
You know why I don't play that?
Because I've seen so many documentaries and I know how people play with information.
adam crigler
Okay.
So it's like, I've seen... I mean, I see what you're saying, but they have specific experiments that they go through the entire process.
tim pool
Yeah, they do that.
It's so easy to isolate and manipulate information to make people believe something, regardless.
So that's why it's really difficult to know what's true and what isn't.
adam crigler
Well then, my whole thing I was about to say means nothing, huh?
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool
Say what you were going to say.
adam crigler
Well, I think that it has something to do with the animal protein in your blood.
tim pool
I think you're biased.
adam crigler
Well, I'm going to continue saying what I'm going to say.
tim pool
Right.
adam crigler
It doesn't matter.
Anyway, so in this Game Changers, there's like the animal protein in eating meat and dairy clogs up the blood and it doesn't allow oxygen to flow through your blood the same.
And it makes me, I mean, really what I'm getting down to is I want to know how many of these people that are getting sick that are supposedly healthy eat a very heavy meat and dairy diet, you know?
Because I know a friend of mine who had coronavirus and he, it's not exactly heavy into eating meat and he, like, he's young.
He's 30, I think.
And he, you know, he got through it and everything's fine.
He's healthy now, so that's great.
But it's like, I want to know how many of these people that are getting sick are vegan.
Just for my own knowledge, because I have a feeling there's a correlation.
I'm not saying there is, because I don't know.
But after, I've seen so many documentaries, I've seen so many, and I've done so much research on it, and this one in particular sticks out in my head because of the way that they talk about things, the way that they did it all.
tim pool
Have you done the same research on ketogenic diets?
adam crigler
No, I haven't.
tim pool
The people in Serbia who have no heart disease, they have clean blood, and all they do is eat, like, the livers of walrus.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
They eat nothing but animal protein, no vegetables at all.
And they're considered to be healthier and stronger, with lower mortality rates, lower infections, lower cancer.
adam crigler
Sure.
I'm just talking in direct correlation with the coronavirus.
Like, are they also healthy against coronavirus?
And they don't eat sugars at all, right?
No sugar.
Sugar is another thing that this kind of stuff thrives off of.
tim pool
Well sugar's bad, we know that.
adam crigler
Everyone agrees.
So again, that could be equally as important to know.
I want to know all of those facts also.
tim pool
I agree, that'd be great.
I just don't think... I throw back to like...
You'd see a story.
This is a true thing that happened when I was a kid.
On, like, Sunday, they said, new study reveals that coffee causes cancer, or, like, people who drink coffee have a percentage of, you know, higher percentage of getting cancer.
And then three days later, they were like, a new study out of this university says people who drink coffee have a lower chance of getting cancer.
And so it is a common thing.
If you talk to these researchers, they will tell you how the media lies and misrepresents.
And people can so easily take facts and the truth and turn it into a lie and then not have lied.
It's so easy to do.
adam crigler
Well, all I was doing was trying to speculate on this exact thing.
Yeah.
That's what I was doing.
tim pool
My issue is that, you know, from where I'm standing on all of the stuff I've researched
in terms of diet and health, there's... you can find an equal number of people talking about the
health advantages of ketogenic diets.
Meat and dairy.
And leafy greens, of course.
They say you want to stay away from carbs, stay away from sugars.
You want to do heavy fat diet.
Keto is almost entirely fat.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And they say, like, they swear up and down.
Then you have nutritionists who swear that sugar is absolutely important, and you gotta consume a lot of it, and you want a low-fat diet with a lot of glucose.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
It's like, dude, I've read so many different, you know, like, uh, treaties or thesi-, uh, different thesises, or thesi?
lydia smith
Theses.
tim pool
Theses, there you go.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
On, like, different diets and stuff.
So for me, it's just kinda like, I don't, I don't know if that's an issue.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I do know that if you're overweight, because you eat a pint of Ben & Jerry's every day, you're probably gonna die.
Yes.
And a lot of people who are dying, like we've even seen it, it was one of the Project Veritas videos too, where the doctor said, they've got health issues, they're overweight, they have diabetes, and they're dying.
adam crigler
Well, all I want to know is more information.
So if they are vegans, I would like to know.
Just for my own common knowledge.
If they are in ketosis, if that's what they're going for, I would like to know.
lydia smith
Yeah, I want to know if they're smoking.
adam crigler
What are the correlations between all the things?
That's all I was trying to figure out.
lydia smith
Yeah, I wish they would give us more information.
tim pool
But I'd be willing to bet it's static.
adam crigler
But we're not documenting it that much.
tim pool
I'd be willing to bet it's static.
It's regular American diets.
So you're going to see some people who eat a cheeseburger every day who are fine, some who eat a cheeseburger every day who die.
adam crigler
Well, you referenced a UK girl.
Is it the same thing?
lydia smith
They eat similar to what we do.
tim pool
So, the reason I'm highlighting the young people who are seemingly healthy or asymptomatic dying is because those are the anecdotes that are scary.
Yeah.
You know, it could be the media highlighting things we don't normally hear about.
That's an issue.
Maybe people die of the flu like this.
Walking pneumonia or whatever.
People could be walking on the street and just like, collapse and die of the flu or something.
But we don't hear those stories and maybe it's just the media over-hyping things.
Or maybe this is actually something scary and there's a reason why all these governments are freaking out across the world.
So what we've heard from some of the doctors on the ground is that it's a new thing, and it's freaking people out.
I think it's that it's novel.
That's the big issue.
It tracks very similarly to Spanish flu in 1918.
And I think that's why everyone's freaking out.
adam crigler
That makes sense.
tim pool
But I don't know.
I think the death rate's gonna be high, but already the projections were wrong.
We are below the low-end estimates for how many people would have died by now.
That's a good thing.
A lot of people are saying, it's proof that they were wrong and they overhyped things.
Or it's proof that we did a good job and we're holding things down and we're saving lives.
That's great.
I think it's funny that in New York, Cuomo is stockpiling ventilators.
Some of the hospitals aren't being overrun.
Meanwhile, he's claiming the end is nigh, quick, we gotta get 40,000 ventilators.
And it's like, yeah, I get it, I get it.
There are a lot of people who don't seem to understand that just because one hospital is empty, you know, that doesn't mean everything's fine.
Right.
It means like, you know, the way I explain it is you can go to McDonald's in Manhattan and see a line at the door, cross the Williamsburg Bridge, and the McDonald's in Brooklyn is empty.
lydia smith
No one's going to McDonald's.
tim pool
Well, and right, everyone's like, McDonald's is being shut down.
We need to bring in more supplies.
Right, but for this one.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
You know what I mean?
So hospitals in Brooklyn are not overloaded, but hospitals in Manhattan are getting, you know, overloaded.
But I don't know what to expect.
I don't know what we'll end up seeing.
What I do know is that if we do nothing, it'll be really, really bad.
If we do too much, it will also be really, really bad.
adam crigler
So how do we get the economy going?
by because this these numbers are locked the lockdown numbers maintaining the lockdown right
but trump wants to open it up and we need to have some sort of wheels moving to keep the
economy going a little bit or else we're really screwed like so yeah i guess let's go into this
rent strike because this is going to be a whole nother you know april first
Whole nother thing here.
tim pool
By the time you are watching this, it is April 1st, and I'm going to issue an apology.
Not an apology, what's the right word?
My empathy, my sympathy, my condolences to all of you who are on the internet on April 1st.
It is the worst day.
It is the day that hell comes to earth.
adam crigler
Oh, man.
tim pool
Because the internet is full of morons who think they're funny saying stupid things.
And I'm just like, bro, it's not funny.
Shut up.
April Fool's is stupid.
adam crigler
It really is.
lydia smith
We're not kids anymore.
adam crigler
I'm so over it.
tim pool
It's just so annoying.
It's like, you ever have a friend who's not funny who constantly makes jokes and you're like, Yes.
unidentified
That's April Fool's.
adam crigler
Everybody has those friends.
tim pool
It's April Fool's.
But anyway, you didn't click this video because you were concerned about April Fool's.
You were concerned about rent strike.
So this is a story from the Associated Press.
Rent strike idea is gaining steam during coronavirus crisis.
And I mean, yeah, what do you expect people to do?
lydia smith
What are you supposed to do?
tim pool
If you have no job, and it's because the government shut you down, do you just be like, well, I guess I'm homeless?
This is a struggle because landlords do a job.
As much as many of the leftists try to argue landlord isn't a job, it is.
They maintain properties, they pay taxes, they handle regulations, they get inspected, they do a lot of work.
If your roof's leaking, guess what?
The landlord's gotta fix it.
They maintain the properties.
And then guess what?
When you leave in a year, they have to maintain the property for the 30-year mortgage they have on it.
So yeah, it's work that has to be done.
People have to be hired for this.
adam crigler
You think they can sign up for unemployment also?
With the three millions of other people?
lydia smith
Business loans.
tim pool
There was actually a viral meme that was for landlords.
It was an FAQ for landlords, like what to do.
And it was like, if I'm a landlord and my property, you know, my tenants aren't paying rent, what do I do?
And they said, congratulations, you've gone from a rental management company to a property investment firm.
You now have investment property that will be accruing value the next, you know, however many years, and you don't have to worry about direct income.
And then the next question was like, but I rely on this income to pay my employees, and I'm like, congratulations!
You're employees and you can now apply for government benefits the same as everyone else who's struggling.
And it's like, it was funny.
I get it.
But it's like, so many people on the left just seem to think that property is a magic box that can just be impenetrable and last forever.
They don't realize that damage has to be repaired, pipes have to be fixed.
Did you know that in Chicago, in the older buildings, in the winter, you have to run the water nonstop?
adam crigler
Or just a little tiny bit.
tim pool
A little tiny bit.
lydia smith
So it doesn't freeze.
tim pool
So it doesn't freeze.
adam crigler
And burst the pipes.
tim pool
Yup.
And tenants don't care.
So in a lot of these buildings on the south side, the pipes freeze up in the winter and then burst and stop working.
And then the landlords have to come in and fix.
And the tenants don't care.
Not my problem.
Not my building.
lydia smith
Things held in common are valued by none.
tim pool
And then you're in trouble as the landlord because you have to fix it every time.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
So yeah, well right now we have millions of people.
Here, let me just read you from the Associated Press.
They say, with millions of people suddenly out of work and rent due at the first of the month, some tenants are vowing to go on a rent strike until the coronavirus pandemic subsides.
New York, Boston, LA, San Francisco, and St.
Louis are among many cities that have temporarily banned evictions.
But advocates for the strike are demanding that rent payments be waived, not delayed, for those in need during the crisis.
The rent strike idea has taken root in parts of North America and as far away as London.
Now here's the struggle.
I empathize.
If you've lost your job because the government forced a shutdown, then why should you now be homeless because the government is mandating you don't go to work?
At the same time, it's not the landlord's fault.
The landlords have to pay their income, have to maintain the properties and hire people.
So how does it make sense that you're demanding the government tell you you can't pay someone for a service?
Put it this way.
Let's say you went, I demand... We're gonna go on a food strike.
I should not have to pay for any food.
Food's more important than shelter, right?
Well, actually, I don't know if that's true.
Shelter might be more important than food.
Because you can go a month without food, but you can't go that long without shelter.
But anyway, the point is, food's a necessity.
What if people went on food strike and demanded that Walmart give them all free food?
What's the difference?
I mean, it's like shelter lasts longer, I guess?
I mean, it's still got to be maintained and paid for.
adam crigler
Yeah.
I don't know.
This is an issue though.
tim pool
Yeah, what do we do?
adam crigler
It feels like the government needs to be helping them out as well.
It's like, they're the ones who said, we gotta close it all down.
You know, they're bailing out.
They bailed out, they gave 25 mil to that school, who then just... Yeah, the Kennedy Center.
tim pool
Yeah, the Kennedy Center, and then they furloughed off everybody.
adam crigler
It's like, yeah, nice job.
I don't know.
tim pool
That's weird.
That's your money.
It's a funny libertarian meme. It's like people line up to gleefully accepting checks,
or gleefully line up to receive their own money back from the government.
Yes, that's weird.
Yeah, it's the funny thing about tax refunds too.
It's like people are like, yeah, I'm getting a big refund, and it's like, it's your money to begin with.
It's your money. You should have been saving it.
Yeah, you should have had it.
But, I don't know.
I don't know how we deal this problem, man.
People, I think there's going to be food riots.
I think there's going to be rent riots.
There's going to be there's going to be fights because look, man, the same feeling these people have for how they can't pay rent.
And so they're demanding support.
What do you think these management companies are going to be saying about their employees?
lydia smith
Well, the landlords won't be able to pay the mortgage.
Like, you're just pushing the costs further up the stream.
tim pool
Or pay their staff.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
So, like the place, the apartments in New York where we were at, back in the day, in Beds, were we in Bushwick?
Yeah.
It was a company.
adam crigler
No, Bed-Stuy.
tim pool
Bed-Stuy.
It was a company that maintained those buildings and a bunch of other buildings.
So, they took care of all the tenants, they weren't great, but whatever.
You know, they ran a company.
What happens when those bosses are like, dude, if you don't pay, I can't pay my employees?
unidentified
What do they do?
adam crigler
I think it should just keep falling up and all the way up to the banks, because they got the money.
tim pool
Yeah, but money is a representation of, like, energy and labor.
True.
So, you can only do it so many times.
We keep printing money, then it just, we're borrowing from ourselves in the future.
Everyone's savings will be wiped out.
Like, you've got a hundred bucks now saved in the bank, it's gonna be worth twenty bucks.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Because we're just dumping money like crazy in the economy, causing rapid inflation.
So, is that what we do then?
adam crigler
I don't have the answers.
lydia smith
I don't think there is an answer.
I don't know.
tim pool
I look at this picture and this is the worst picture to choose for this.
adam crigler
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.
tim pool
Do they have other pictures here?
No, because it's like...
lydia smith
He just looks lazy.
tim pool
Yeah, this guy looks smug.
adam crigler
It looks like he's enjoying a Saturday.
It is a Saturday.
He's enjoying a Saturday sitting outside and drinking his tea, whatever.
tim pool
I'm sorry, man.
I feel like a lot of this, part of me wants to feel like it's just an excuse for lazy people who demand free stuff.
I know it's not everybody.
I know a lot of people are really hurting and struggling and need to pay rent, and they're real people.
But I also know a lot of urban socialists who are like, Dude, like, why do you even pay rent?
It's so dumb.
Like, a landlord's not even a job.
And food should be free, too.
And now this happens and they're like, dude, I'm not paying rent.
It's like, do you, do you have the rent money?
Well, some people, a lot of people got laid off.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
But did you at least have some money to pay rent for this month?
Should they pay it?
Should they pay food?
I don't know, man.
Everybody's getting their, you know what?
I'll tell you, I'll tell you what right now.
They just approved a stimulus.
Everybody's getting four months, four months of guaranteed wages from the federal government.
Pay your rent.
Rent strike to me sounds like people trying to exploit the system.
adam crigler
Yeah, I agree.
tim pool
The government's going to give you money plus $1,200.
Pay your rent.
unidentified
Right?
adam crigler
What was that company that isn't going to pay their rent?
tim pool
Oh, Cheesecake Factory.
adam crigler
You don't think that they have profits?
tim pool
I totally do, and they should pay their rent.
adam crigler
Yeah, I agree.
It's ridiculous that they're not paying their rent.
tim pool
And the government's doing a big bailout for everybody.
So it seems like, yeah, you got corporate exploitation right there.
adam crigler
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
Oh, we're not going to pay our rent.
Not this time.
It's like GTFO.
I don't know, dude.
Everything is tied together.
It's impossible to know for sure.
Like, the AP chose this dude who is like, he looks like an urban lefty.
He looks like a hipster.
And my confirmation, my personal bias against socialists and communists is like my alarm bells are ringing.
adam crigler
Even if he dyes his hair.
tim pool
Yes.
So I'm not trying to impugn the honor of this man.
I don't know who he is.
He's probably a fine person.
I just know, look, I know people in New York who are squatting and stuff.
And I, I think they're lazy.
I think they're conceited, narcissistic individuals.
adam crigler
I know those people too.
tim pool
They would break into buildings in the financial district and then find vacant like office lofts and then put their own padlocks on it.
And then when the police come, can't do anything about it.
And so that's what they would do.
And I'm like, that's so messed up.
Like what?
lydia smith
One of my criteria for being a friend is not being a squatter.
I feel like the bar is pretty low.
I don't know.
I guess I don't really know anybody who would squat.
unidentified
I guess I don't have as wide a range of knowledge.
tim pool
I'm surprised a lot of the squatting laws we have.
adam crigler
Yeah, they are pretty crazy.
tim pool
So you can go on vacation and someone can break in your house.
lydia smith
Yeah, what's up with that?
tim pool
And then the cops won't kick them out.
lydia smith
Why?
tim pool
Squatting laws.
adam crigler
What's the difference of you coming in and say you're armed and someone's in your house from that same squatting law.
This person's in my house.
Get out of my house.
You're in my house.
Boom.
You're not getting out.
I felt threatened in my own house.
tim pool
It's the problem with these squatting laws.
adam crigler
What's the difference though?
Isn't it?
It feels like the same thing.
tim pool
What you tell the cops, I guess.
This is the thing.
I've read stories from people who say that, like, I went on vacation to Europe for a couple weeks.
When I came back, some crazy lady was in my house.
When I called the police, she claimed she lived there and the cops wouldn't kick her out.
And I'm like, why don't you tell the police this woman just broke into my house?
And then when they show up, be like, please get rid of her.
And when she screams, it's my house, you can be like, here's my, no, she's broken.
lydia smith
Here's the title.
tim pool
But what the person does, they go to the police and say, I don't know, I haven't been here in a few weeks.
And then she's like, I live here, it's my house.
And the cops are like, civil dispute, you take care of it.
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
Wow.
tim pool
So what would happen if you showed up at someone's house in the middle of the night, broken, and then just called the police and said, there's a strange man in my house.
And when the cops showed up, you said, that guy's sleeping in that room, I don't know who he is, it's my house.
They'd probably arrest you.
I mean, they'd probably arrest the person who lived there.
That's crazy.
So actually, this is a common thing, and it's one of the most annoying and broken things with policing in this country, in most countries.
Whoever calls the cops first wins.
Straight up.
lydia smith
That's not right.
tim pool
So it's actually a common thing, well I don't know if it's common, but it's a technique in grifting, like legit street grifting.
One of the things you do is that you call the cops on your mark and have the police seize their property for you.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
It works.
The use of authority is a very common thing in grifting.
adam crigler
I don't know.
The video of us talking about what happened to Johnny Depp comes to mind, though, you know, about the man versus the female or, you know, and it's always like the girl's always right.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
They always side with the girl in any sort of dispute in that sense.
And it's like, that still kind of holds true, though, in this situation.
Oh, yeah.
You can't just be like, the guy calls the cops and they come and the girl's like, he was beating me.
Right.
Even if it was true or not, they're going to side with her.
tim pool
Yeah, but it's like, so one of the tricks, I don't want to say too much because I might get in trouble, but without going into too much detail about how some cons work, you basically plant something on a person, and then call the cops on them, and then you can say, Officer, that person has X.
That's proof they took it from me.
Alright, I'll just say it.
One of the common grips is a reverse pickpocket.
The criminals will wait for someone to leave an ATM, and please don't do any of this stuff, wait for someone to leave an ATM, and you wait for someone to leave their receipt behind, because people do this all the time.
You then see exactly how much they took out, and then you take a semi-empty wallet with your ID in it, and you reverse pickpocket.
You put it on them, Call the police, say, I'm following them, and when the police come, you can say, they've got my wallet, my ID's in it, they took $200 cash.
The cops will then search them, and the person's gonna be like, I have no idea what you're talking about, find the wallet, see it, and be like, we got him.
And that person's going to jail.
Because the cop's gonna write up, we found the wallet on them, and the cash.
Yeah, whoever calls the cops first wins, and grifters weaponize that against.
So, I don't know how we got into this subject, but yeah, it's a serious problem.
And I know because I've dealt with it firsthand.
When, when I was 19, mining mound business at a mall, security guards beat the crap out of me and my brother.
And then when I tried calling 9-1-1 as they were beating my brother, they took the phone and hung up.
And then they called the police and just lied.
And the cops came and arrested us.
So we're walking through the mall, minding our own business.
Some guys just grab him, throw him to the ground.
They took his head, bashed it in the ground.
I'm screaming, like, help.
And then I took my phone and I called 9-1-1.
He grabs my phone from me.
9-1-1 answers.
And then he presses end.
And he laughs.
And he drops my phone.
Then they call the police and say, these guys were threatening people and screaming.
And the cops were like, you got it!
And arrested us.
And when I said to the cop, please get the footage, they attacked us, he was like, I don't care.
He's like, literally don't care.
It's never gonna happen, dude.
And I said, but I called you guys first.
He's like, I don't care.
I literally don't care.
And then we got to spend the night in jail.
unidentified
Oh man.
tim pool
Yup.
And then we got the case dismissed and the judge was just like, you're not going to sue them are you?
And we were like, no your honor.
He's like, fine.
Case dismissed.
So it was like, we were told basically.
adam crigler
Case dismissed?
Alright, now I'm going to sue them.
tim pool
Yeah.
But nobody would touch it either.
Because the case involved police negligence and none of the local attorneys wanted to go up against the police department because they also had to work with them.
They were like, nope, we're not touching this.
And I'm like, so they just get away with it?
adam crigler
Isn't this a wonderful world we live in?
unidentified
Well, there are problems, but There are chances for corruption.
tim pool
Yeah.
lydia smith
Put it that way.
tim pool
Well, I guess we can jump over to Super Chats.
lydia smith
Yeah, I guess we can.

All right.

Like men going their own way.
Oh, men going their own way phenomenon.
Sorry, I read that wrong.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
tim pool
I don't know a whole lot about it. I do know that there was some controversy because it used to be
like older guys who were divorced or like their girlfriends left them and so they decided to be
solitude or to to be in solitude and and just stop worrying about you know coupling but then after
your uh...
Reddit banned the incel subreddit.
Yeah.
They got flooded with a bunch of incels and then the narrative started to change.
And MGTOW went from being a bunch of more stoic men saying, you know, we'll be on our own
to a bunch of people who hated feminism and were angry at women.
Yeah.
So, but I don't know exactly what's going on.
I just remember that story.
Thank you.

I agree with that.
Definitely.
That's what I was saying.
One of the ways I explain how media manipulates using the truth, it's very simple.
Many of you are probably familiar with the dihydrogen monoxide hoax.
Diet is still a speculative topic.
adam crigler
I agree with that.
Yeah, definitely.
tim pool
That's what, that's what I was saying.
Like, uh, one of the ways I explain how media manipulates using the truth.
It's very simple.
Many of you are probably familiar with the dihydrogen dihydrogen monoxide hoax.
So what I here's, here's what I say.
Do you guys know what chemtrails are?
I'm going to tell you something.
I used to work for American Eagle Airlines, which is the regional airline for American Airlines.
And they used to have these guys that would come out in trucks and pull out a hose and pump these planes full of something called hydroxic acid.
unidentified
Whoa.
tim pool
Yes.
So, this stuff, you could breathe in a little bit of it, you will die.
Straight up.
They use it to clean, like, car batteries.
You know, it's used in nuclear power plants.
They find it in cancer cells.
And so, when you see those planes flying overhead and that white stuff is coming out, that is a vaporized hydroxic acid.
Right?
Oh, that sounds dangerous.
It sounds pretty creepy and scary.
Everything I just said is true.
Hydroxic acid is water.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
If you breathe in water, you'll die.
Water is in cancer.
They use it to clean car batteries.
It's in nuclear power plants.
They use regular water.
And yes, people at airports load planes full of water.
It's not a big deal.
But when you say it that way, I made it sound like they were actually putting it there on purpose to be sprayed and there was some nefarious purpose.
It's just not true.
So the media loves doing this in every capacity, especially people with agendas.
They'll take information like that and then trick you into believing something is much more dangerous or nefarious than it really is.
That's why I'm so skeptical on so many different, you know, stories and documentaries.
Because I see how they frame this stuff.
There was this movie that went viral, What the Bleep Do We Know.
You know that one?
adam crigler
Yeah, I've seen it.
tim pool
And they talk about the double slit experiment.
And they use that to justify something called the secret.
The secret is a reference to this new age spiritual idea that you can manifest reality.
So they claim because the act of observing the double slit experiment changed the outcome and caused wave function collapse, that proves, well they don't necessarily say this, but they're like, perhaps then we can shape reality based on our ideas.
adam crigler
Well I did that.
I did that the day before you called me and invited me onto the show.
tim pool
Coincidence, like, and speculation, and it's really simple.
It's that, you know, when you're focused on something and working on something, you find the opportunity.
It's just like we were talking about.
If you buy a car, you see the car everywhere.
If you were focused on, you know, I don't know, building a giant wooden giraffe, and I called you, you'd be like, I don't know, this is relevant.
has something to do with my giant wooden giraffe.
But it just so happened that, you know, we were in a similar mindset and you were like,
I wanna work on a project and they hit you up and you're like, this is a good project to work on.
But if you already had something else, it wouldn't have been, you know, serendipitous.
It's just, these things happen.
It's just a coincidence or whatever.
But so I was talking to this researcher about the double slit experiment stuff
and they explained it to me.
It's very simple.
Imagine if there was like an ant walking on a table.
And so you were trying to measure the distance the ant was walking, so you put a ruler down next to it, and all of a sudden the ant turns a direction.
And you went, oh!
Simply by observing how far the ant was going, the ants changed.
Therefore, me as an individual observer changed the outcome of what the ant was going to do.
And the reality is, dude, you slammed a ruler next to it and the ant sped off in a different direction.
The reality is, I'm not a quantum physicist, so I can't tell you, but this is what I was told.
That when we try to measure the double slit experiment, we are interfering with it directly with our measurements.
It's not some mystical observation.
It's like putting something in the way, causing something to happen, and we don't know why it's happening.
adam crigler
Well, I also think the problem with nutrition is everybody is so different.
We have different blood types, different body types, different muscle types.
There's all these different things.
It's like being vegan isn't necessarily for everyone.
And I don't say that it is.
I'm not trying to say that it is, you know, but it's I was just trying to figure it out if there is a correlation.
lydia smith
That would be worth knowing, for sure.
adam crigler
To each their own.
Do your own research.
Follow your own body and what works for you, really.
tim pool
All right.
adam crigler
Yeah.

adam crigler
Alright, we'll work on it.
lydia smith
We'll think about that.
tim pool

But I've never heard an anchorman say, Beanie Man Brigade Assemble, so...

tim pool
That's why we always see stories about primitive groups who have a weird diet but are healthy.
adam crigler

Like, you're Tim Pool.
And I was like, yeah.
And he was like, oh, hey, great, man.
Nice to meet you.
And I was like, whoa!
It's like I grew up playing Smashing Pumpkins music and listening to this stuff.
It was really cool.
And then he took a poster and autographed it for me.
Super cool.
It'd be cool to hang out and talk to him about the reptilian stuff.
adam crigler
That would be amazing.
tim pool
Yeah, well, you know, we're all quarantined.
adam crigler
If you're out there, maybe you can come on the show if you'd like.

So yeah, trust yourself and do your own research.
tim pool
Yep.

lydia smith
Everything you read online is true.
tim pool
I read, dude I love these crazy stories, not because I think they're real, but because they're like good stories.
lydia smith
They're interesting.
tim pool
Like I read one about Abraham Lincoln sending a fleet of like ironclads to the North Pole to like go to the center
of the earth.
lydia smith
I totally love that. That's amazing.
tim pool
I read some crazy stuff online.
It's fun.
This is what bothers me about the modern internet.
They're getting rid of all the fun stuff.
unidentified
Yeah, it's all boring and it makes me mad.
adam crigler
And the people in control of it all are spouting the worst fake stuff already.
tim pool

John McGuire says, what's your opinion and the random empty hospital and testing center vids?
By the way, do a review on the Surface book.
I think the Surface book is great.
We actually, for some reason, have a bunch of them.
I don't even know why.
I think we just like them, right?
adam crigler
What is the Surface?
Oh, these.
lydia smith
Yeah, they're fantastic.
adam crigler
Oh, the Surface, yeah.
lydia smith
Best laptop I've ever used.
adam crigler
It's pretty good.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
He tried to convince me to get one seven years ago.
tim pool
Remember when I tripped and dropped it?
adam crigler
Yeah, I do remember that.
tim pool
You were playing Division or something, and I was like, yo, check this out, and I tripped, and my Surface just, like, shattered, and I'm like...
I still have it somewhere in the closet.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's funny.
But I was getting a computer, and he's like, dude, don't get a Mac.
And I was like, yeah, but I want this Mac.
And he's like, dude, get the Surface.
This is cooler.
tim pool
But you got the new, better one.
adam crigler
And I did get the Mac.
And you notice what computer I'm using now.
This is my computer.
And well, actually, I still have the Mac.
It's used for different things, though.
tim pool
So in regards to the random empty hospitals and testing center vids, yeah, it's because the best explanation that I've seen is the meme.
Somebody said, if all of these people are dying, like, why are these hospitals empty?
And someone said something like, if McDonald's serves two billion cheeseburgers per year, why can't I go to a McDonald's and order a thousand cheeseburgers?
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
It's like, right.
So we're seeing individual hospitals start hitting capacity and freaking out.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Because like, even in the James O'Keefe videos from Veritas, you can see that it's like, some people say it's bad, some people say it isn't.
That's awesome.
I think reality is very important right now.
I don't want people to think that we're in a chaotic war zone.
But some of these hospitals have it really bad.
And so you can see in the videos a woman saying, like, it is really bad.
People are coming in, they're sick, and they're dying.
This is killing people.
And then some other hospitals are like, eh, you know, yeah, they're sick people, but people are just freaking out.
It's, you know.
lydia smith
So a couple things they're doing too is no visitors are allowed.
None.
They're not allowing visitors in.
And that would lead to empty parking lots.
adam crigler
Right.
lydia smith
And also they're not doing as many elective surgeries.
adam crigler
Right.
lydia smith
Which means there are just fewer patients in general.
adam crigler
Right.
lydia smith
Which means your hip surgery, my shoulder surgery would have been postponed.
tim pool
Because they're clearing space out.
That's interesting.
It's, it's, it's kind of annoying.
So the hospitals are like, okay, we're clearing the schedule and getting ready because we might get hit with an influx.
And then everyone's like, huh.
No, the hospitals are empty.
What's going on?
lydia smith
We're ready.
It's a good thing.
Don't, like, complain about it.
tim pool
But you know people who work at a hospital who are seeing this stuff, right?
lydia smith
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I've seen them.
They have an entire floor full of people, almost, who are in, like, isolation for suspected symptoms.
tim pool
I gotta say, like, you know, I agree with you, for the most part, Adam, that's a lot of unhealthy people.
I think it's a fact.
We all get it.
lydia smith
Yeah, that's all of us.
tim pool
Yeah, the sickness is gonna kill all the unhealthy people, and the problem is Americans are unhealthy.
lydia smith
Yeah, in general, unfortunately.
tim pool
Yep.
lydia smith
Even in Colorado, where we have the lowest rate of obesity.
It's still embarrassingly high.
tim pool
A lot of overweight Americans Yeah.
That's the problem with universal healthcare, but it's also a problem that we're going to have an ever-increasing amount of irresponsible, overweight people who are demanding that the entire economy be shut down because they're at risk.
For real.
So we have a huge population of obese people, right?
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
And so you're going to have all of them saying, I demand the economy be shut down so that I don't get sick.
Meanwhile, strong, strapping, ripped individuals and athletes are like, I have to stop going outside now because you don't take care of yourself.
lydia smith
I can't work out anymore.
I can't go to the gym anymore.
tim pool
So within limits, I don't care if you're overweight.
I don't want you to die.
I don't want to get you sick.
But to a certain extent, we've got to be responsible.
We've got to take care of ourselves, eat better.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
Be responsible, please.
tim pool
