lydia smith
I lost you.
tim pool
Welcome to the show, everybody.
I am Tim Poole.
This is TimCastIRL Podcast.
I am joined by Adam Krigler.
adam crigler
What's up, everybody?
And how's it going?
lydia smith
The Invisible Lady.
I'm Lydia.
tim pool
The Invisible Lydia.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Boy, do we have a show for you today.
adam crigler
Oh my, yes we do.
tim pool
Yeah, we got a lot going on actually.
It's a crazy Monday.
You ever hear of a thing called the Me Too Movement?
It's getting torn up from the floor up.
So a couple of the co-founders are fighting right now.
Alyssa Milano has exposed herself as, and I'm quoting here, corrupt DNC fraud.
So, you know, we'll get to it.
We've got a bunch of other stories too.
We've got to talk about something serious, man.
Uh, and this is gonna be really offensive, and I don't care.
Do you guys care about being offensive?
adam crigler
No, I speak my mind.
tim pool
We're gonna rag on feminists.
Intersectional feminists is a difference.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
See, for the longest time, they've been touting all this body positivity stuff.
You know who's at risk to die from the coronavirus?
adam crigler
Overweight.
tim pool
Overweight people.
adam crigler
That's not surprising.
tim pool
Yeah, in one of the Veritas videos, they're talking to a nurse and she's like, it's obese people, people with diabetes, people with lung issues, and it's like, there it is, man.
So the longest time they've been saying, like, you can eat whatever you want, you can be fat and happy and beautiful, and it's like... Until a global pandemic comes.
And then they start dying.
adam crigler
You have no immune system for it.
tim pool
It's not that, it's that you can't breathe.
It's a lung, it's a breathing issue, it's a circulation issue.
adam crigler
Right.
Oxygen going through your blood, if your blood is, if your bloodstream is clogged.
tim pool
If your bloodstream is pudding.
adam crigler
You're not getting a lot of oxygen through anyway, let alone putting any sort of tax on your lungs.
It kind of amplifies the effect.
tim pool
So we'll talk about that stuff.
We've got the rat apocalypse is coming.
We'll see what we can get to.
adam crigler
Rat apocalypse.
I don't want to laugh because it's serious.
tim pool
Remember we talked about the monkeys in Thailand fighting in the streets because there's no food anymore?
Well the rats are doing the same thing now.
adam crigler
People are getting scared.
tim pool
But we do have a really, really serious one too.
YouTube is purging everybody.
That'll probably be the second one after we get to this breaking news bit, but YouTube purged Luke Rutkowski of We Are Change.
Gone out of the partner program.
Ariel Scarcella, who was a guest on the show, gone.
So, uh, I don't know.
We'll see how long we last.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Ariel was a guest on this show.
adam crigler
Yeah, she was.
tim pool
And then, like, a week later, like, remove her!
adam crigler
Yeah.
No, that just happened last week, right?
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Yeah, just happened.
She just got, uh... Right, right, right.
It was like a month ago, right?
A month and a half ago.
tim pool
Yeah, but you know what I mean.
adam crigler
Yeah, relatively, I guess.
tim pool
Depends on which news cycle you're following.
It feels like it's been 20 years.
adam crigler
I know, yeah.
tim pool
But we do have a bunch of stories we'll go through.
But before we get started, hop in the Super Chat if you would like us to read your comments.
We'll do our best.

We do the show every Monday through Friday at 8 p.m.
live.
And yeah, how about we just start talking about Rosamund Gowin, huh?
adam crigler
Sounds good, let's do it.
tim pool
So, a long time ago, Donald Trump was on like a bus or something, right?
And he said that when you're famous, women let you grab them by the... you know what I'm talking about.
And this was like a huge deal.
Everybody was yelling, they were like, we cannot have the president saying these things, and to this day, they still use that against him, and they mock him.
Well, there's been an accusation against Joe Biden for a while.
Joe Biden, as many of you know, is probably going to be the Democratic primary, you know, nominee.
He's going to win.
Well, he's not going to win the general.
But apparently there's a story where a woman named Tara Reid was working in his office in the 90s.
Joe Biden actually grabbed her, pushed her up against the wall, and then followed through on what Donald Trump had said and grabbed her.
adam crigler
And some more, supposedly, right?
tim pool
Went up in there.
He went above and beyond.
adam crigler
Just simply grabbing.
tim pool
We try to keep things family friendly, considering we just talked about YouTube purging everybody.
So we fight within the limits we can, unfortunately.
But Alyssa Milano has just come out in Joe Biden's defense, touting the importance of
due process, which is ridiculous.
Agreed.
Considering she was dressed up like a Handmaid's Tale woman, you know.
adam crigler
For the Kavanaugh thing?
tim pool
Protesting the Kavanaugh thing.
Yeah, yeah.
Saying zero tolerance.
But here's where the story gets crazy, because that's kind of big news.
She did an interview, I think it was with Andy Cohen, and she was like, well, here's the thing, we must believe women, but men deserve due process, and it's like, oh, dude, spare me.
adam crigler
Oh, thanks.
lydia smith
Oh, now they do.
adam crigler
Thanks, now.
tim pool
Now here's where it gets crazy, though.
Rose McGowan, who is considered another high profile leader of the Me Too movement, has just come out and called her, in the past hour or whatever, a corrupt DNC fraud.
unidentified
That's crazy.
adam crigler
It's true, I feel.
Because Biden is kind of gross and gropey.
Yeah, totally.
It's like you can't even hide it.
It's like every time he's in the presence of a woman, he's sniffing her hair or grabbing her arm He had to apologize for it.
And their face is always like, ugh, get away from me, you old creepy guy.
tim pool
It's funny that he's so much worse than Trump in that regard, but she's defending him.
adam crigler
I don't get it.
tim pool
But it gets crazier.
So, this is the big breaking news, but you remember Aja Argento?
Argento, whatever her name was?
No.
She was another leader, Aja Argento, she was another Me Too movement leader.
adam crigler
She's got cool tats.
tim pool
She was accused and she paid out a settlement to this young dude that she was abusing when he was underage.
unidentified
Oh.
tim pool
So now you have, you have like complete hypocrisy at the highest level.
adam crigler
She was a Me Too leader who abused a kid?
Yep.
tim pool
Gross.
lydia smith
It's almost like they're all hypocrites.
tim pool
Look what Alyssa Milano says.
She tweeted this.
There is something to the idea that people are going to weaponize Me Too for political gain.
Just look at the replies here and look to see who those accounts are supporting in the primary.
There always needs to be a thorough vetting of accusations.
Talk about disgusting, vile, evil, manipulative, con artist, Wow.
How else do you describe that?
What's the end goal of being just a vile slimebag?
And I don't really insult people, but I'm going for the emotional reaction here, man.
adam crigler
Why is Alyssa Milano known for anything anyway?
tim pool
She's a famous actress.
adam crigler
From what?
unidentified
She's well, so I don't I don't think I know anything making a mistake.
adam crigler
I'm just I'm just hey, this is me I don't know who she is.
I never watched anything with her in it.
Wasn't she what's charmed?
I don't know what that is.
So which show yeah, I never thought you know what it is Yeah, I never watched it though But I I didn't know that she was one of the ones on it Wasn't she on some show in the 80s when she was a little kid?
tim pool
I have no idea.
Sorry.
It's a mistake to say, oh, I don't know who she is, because she's still working actively in Hollywood.
adam crigler
I'm just making a point.
I'm just curious.
I don't know who she is.
tim pool
She's a celebrity.
And she's got a ton of followers.
And she's a high-profile activist.
adam crigler
And she's a fair-weather activist, it seems.
unidentified
No, no, no, no, no, no.
tim pool
That's not fair.
adam crigler
No?
tim pool
Fair-weather activists at least get up sometimes for the cause.
adam crigler
OK.
tim pool
What she's doing is manipulating people for political brownie points.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's a good point.
tim pool
Check this out.
So Rose McGowan just, I think we'll just pull up the tweet from Rose.
You are a fraud.
This is about holding... Oh, wait, wait, wait.
What is this?
unidentified
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
tim pool
Wow.
Amazing.
So let's just pull the tweet straight up.
I have the story, but we'll pull up the tweet.
I have respect for Rose.
She says, in response to Alyssa Milano saying, I explained my silence on the allegations against Joe Biden.
She goes, you are a fraud.
This is about holding the media accountable.
You go after Trump and Kavanaugh saying bully victims.
You are a lie.
You have always been a lie.
The corrupt DNC is in on the smear job of Tara Reid.
So are you.
Shame.
lydia smith
I was just watching an interview of her from when the whole Me Too thing started and she was not on good terms with Alyssa then.
She literally said you are a lie.
adam crigler
She's lying.
lydia smith
Wow.
tim pool
Wait, she's called her out before.
lydia smith
Yeah, she has.
adam crigler
During the Kavanaugh thing, she was doing it.
lydia smith
Yeah, I think it was closer to the time that was going on.
adam crigler
She's like, yeah, you're getting fame from this and that's all you care about.
unidentified
Wow.
lydia smith
False flag.
tim pool
I'm impressed.
adam crigler
Dang.
tim pool
I dig it.
adam crigler
She burned her.
lydia smith
I appreciate that.
adam crigler
Let's see if we can- Nailed her.
tim pool
People are responding.
Look at this tweet.
Someone tweeted this at her.
Zero tolerance.
If we don't hold- Oh no, I think this might be a fake tweet.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
So here's what they're purporting she tweeted.
Zero tolerance.
If we don't hold all accountable for horrible behavior, nothing changes.
Sorry, Al Franken.
You should not be in a position to represent the female constituents in your state.
That might be real.
I don't know.
lydia smith
Let me see if I can check.
I can look.
tim pool
Yeah.
Because someone said, I fixed it.
Me too.
And I don't know if this is different or whatever.
But a bunch of people have been highlighting past tweets she made.
She's saying it's a smear.
Oh, it's a conspiracy.
adam crigler
Of course it is.
lydia smith
What's your tag?
Oh, okay.
tim pool
Yeah.
Alyssa Milano believes it's a conspiracy to smear the campaign.
lydia smith
Probably a Russian conspiracy.
tim pool
Is that what it is?
Is that?
adam crigler
Yes.
tim pool
And Warren not endorsing Bernie when their policies line up to me means she was telling the truth about what he said.
Oh, you know what, man?
She said, I believe women.
It is my opinion that you can't conflate the violent criminal assault described by Dr. Ford and an uncomfortable invasion of personal space and boundaries described by Flores.
These two things aren't the same no matter how hard your network tries to spin it.
You know what the allegations against Brett Kavanaugh were?
adam crigler
What?
tim pool
That when he was a teenager at a party, he threw a young woman on the bed and him and his buddy jumped on top of her and then she ran away.
adam crigler
Oh.
tim pool
He like, she said like he held her down. I don't know. And then his buddy jumped on him. They
rolled over and she got up and ran off. No witness corroborated it. Her friend said,
I don't remember what you're talking about. She couldn't, she didn't know where it happened.
It was 36 years ago or something. She didn't know how she got there. She didn't know where it was.
She didn't know how she got home and no one corroborated anything. And not only that,
but Christine Blasey Ford, I'm going to say it. She lied.
She said that, and already I know that there's a bunch of people who, you know, on the left are triggered listening to this.
Yeah, well, she said she was afraid to fly following this stuff.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And then someone asked her, like, don't you fly all the time for work?
And she goes, yes.
It's like, wait, what?
lydia smith
Wait a second.
tim pool
She claimed that she got, like, a second door installed in her house because she's terrified now, she was traumatized.
It's like, dude, you're, like, you're 50.
adam crigler
Wait, now?
She's running a business.
36 years later, she's now traumatized?
Or she's always been?
tim pool
Yeah, always been, I guess.
And then someone else came out and said that the reason she got the door installed in her house was because she was Airbnb-ing it.
lydia smith
She was running her business out of the other side of her house.
Yeah.
tim pool
Like the whole thing was just fraud.
And guess what?
You end up with this woman.
Check out these photos.
This is from Robbie Starbuck.
He tweeted, this is the same Melissa Milano who told you to believe women.
She used assault allegations as a weapon against political opponents with zero evidence.
Now she won't drop her endorsement of Joe Biden after he was credibly accused, I love that, by his former staff of assault.
Look at this.
She dresses like, you know, the Handmaid's Tale.
It's so stupid.
adam crigler
See, now the reason I brought up who is this person, it's not because of, like, is she someone that we can listen to.
It's like anyone can be if they have the right opinion.
But I see her doing this kind of stuff and it's a publicity stunt.
tim pool
Totally.
adam crigler
That's what I'm aiming at, you know?
So that's what it is.
It's like she had her chance to get in the light and she Everyone was was making memes of her sitting behind like in the courtroom Yep, you know and I don't remember she had like a paper holding up.
They put different things on the paper or whatever It's like people were talking about her 3.6 million followers, right?
tim pool
That's what it's all about.
Yes raising raising her profile.
Yep, so she can get access Now she's not gonna be an a-lister Yeah.
Oh no.
She is acting.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Movies are gonna look at that. I mean they've danced around it. They've tried doing some of this stuff
adam crigler
Yeah, she if she wanted to act she could probably get a job in like she is acting a c-list horror film
No, she's doing like Netflix and Amazon like house on the haunted hill eight. No, no, no, no
unidentified
Uh-uh.
tim pool
She's doing legit stuff.
lydia smith
Maybe if that... Sure.
tim pool
She's doing legit stuff.
lydia smith
What was the last movie she was in?
tim pool
Wanna pull up her IMDB?
adam crigler
Yeah, let's do it.
tim pool
I'm just curious.
It's a mistake to go down this route to try and argue that... Well, I just don't know.
Like she's a D-lister or something.
adam crigler
No, no, no.
All I was saying is that this seems like everything that I see about her is a publicity stunt.
I just want more attention.
Why would she go for Biden right now makes absolutely no sense, other than look how many people are talking about her again.
tim pool
She's on a TV series from 2018 to 2019 called Insatiable.
Imaginary Lines 2020.
She's in post-production on two projects.
She's in a miniseries.
But it's not even an argument.
It's not an argument to be like, you're a washed up actress.
I don't like that argument.
lydia smith
It doesn't matter.
tim pool
It doesn't matter.
adam crigler
I'm not even saying that, whether she's washed up or not.
I mean, I can honestly say I've never watched any of these things that she's been in.
lydia smith
But still, she has all this influence.
adam crigler
She's been in a ton of stuff, man.
tim pool
Dude, she was in... Hold on, hold on.
No, you're wrong.
You've never seen Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2?
unidentified
No.
tim pool
She was the voice of Bimini in Beverly Hills Chihuahua.
lydia smith
I remember now.
adam crigler
That's where I know her from.
Oh, right.
tim pool
What else?
She was in Ghostbusters, the video game.
lydia smith
You're right.
I take it all back.
tim pool
She was in My Name is Earl.
adam crigler
I take nothing back.
lydia smith
Oh, she was?
tim pool
Yeah, My Name is Earl.
lydia smith
I actually used to like that show.
tim pool
I think Charmed was, like, the biggest thing she did in recent history, but she was on Spin City.
She was in Melrose Place briefly.
She did a bunch of Melrose Place.
Didn't she do, like, a big show?
There we go, yeah.
Who's the boss?
There it is.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
tim pool
Yeah, she was, uh, uh, Shmalantha.
adam crigler
Shmalantha?
tim pool
Yeah, Shmalantha.
adam crigler
Is that how they pronounced it?
tim pool
No, that's how Rick and Morty pronounced it.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
tim pool
Shmalangela?
unidentified
Shmalanthany?
tim pool
So yeah, a lot of people, they try to do an emotional attack against her, and it actually empowers her side.
Because when you attack someone based on something that has nothing to do with anything... It's like, you're proving my point!
No, no, it's just the people... Look, the tribalists are never gonna give up their position no matter what.
But if there's a regular person who doesn't know, and they see her saying something like, this man was accused, and then you go, you're just a washed up actress, then immediately you've lost.
You've left the argument, you're not talking about what she's doing, you're just trying to call her a stupid dum-dum head.
You're not addressing... That's all it is, you might as well call her a poo-poo face.
lydia smith
Yeah, well, okay, that's fair.
tim pool
Yeah, let's talk about what she really is.
adam crigler
That's funny.
tim pool
Now, in the context of her trying to raise her profile, I think it's fair to bring up that the projects she's done are not A-list.
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
You know, the stuff she's been doing as of late, it's like, it's like Netflix and Amazon stuff, so it's not like, I mean, hey man, I'd love to be on Netflix or Amazon.
It works, it works, it works.
Well, no, I mean, getting on, getting on like a Netflix show, that's not bad, right?
A lot of people.
adam crigler
Hint, hint, next Netflix, hey-o!
unidentified
Hit em up!
tim pool
No, but it's clear that she's going for some kind of publicity.
Look at her Twitter picture.
It's her doing activism, Never Kavanaugh Resist.
But she is... This to me should be proof to anyone Her mission has nothing to do with helping women, helping people, fighting for a cause.
It's not even about fighting for the DNC.
It's about just shilling for the biggest opportunity.
So she wants to pony up to the wealthy elites, the corporatists, the establishment.
Anybody who thinks Joe Biden is a viable candidate is lying.
lydia smith
Yep.
tim pool
Period.
adam crigler
Period.
I can agree with that.
lydia smith
Yeah, for sure.
tim pool
And this is why, you know, we can actually use it to segue into how they're starting to purge other YouTube channels.
This is why they don't like it.
Because the establishment, the big businesses that love propping up people like, you know, Joe Biden, that's what they're for, or that's what they want.
YouTubers, podcasters, you'll notice, have no problem saying, Joe Biden, that's insane.
Like, look at Joe Rogan the other day.
You saw what he said.
And now there's articles coming out, Joe Rogan's the canary in the coal mine.
He embodies Bernie or bust.
He said a couple months ago, I'd probably vote for Bernie.
Now today, he's like, I'd rather vote for Trump.
Because Bernie's out, right?
lydia smith
Yeah, this is what's happening with Bernie people.
adam crigler
Is Bernie officially out?
tim pool
No, but... He won't.
adam crigler
Yeah, I didn't think he would.
tim pool
The establishment's not going to let Bernie... What's he going to do?
No, I mean, look, man.
I got my issues with Bernie's policies.
We can have a debate over his policies.
I think he's flip-flopped on certain things, but the dude can speak English.
lydia smith
True.
tim pool
That's all I meant.
adam crigler
And clear.
lydia smith
Yeah, at this point.
tim pool
They, they, do you see, you saw what Trump said about Biden, you know, the other, on
Saturday or whatever?
adam crigler
Yeah, it was funny.
tim pool
So for those that don't know, at the press briefing he was asked, you know, Joe Biden
tweeted this about you and he goes, Joe Biden didn't tweet anything about me, he didn't
write that.
A Democratic operative wrote that.
He's not even watching this right now.
And even if he was, he wouldn't understand it.
adam crigler
Supposedly they had a long talk today.
lydia smith
They did, yeah.
adam crigler
About Biden giving his expertly vice president advice to Trump.
Which is an interesting way that they're spinning it.
tim pool
You know what I imagine happening?
I imagine, like, the phone rings, and Trump answers, and Joe's like, hello!
And Trump's like, how's it going?
And then Joe starts muttering, he's like, you know, Donald, the thing with, you know, we have the case and dependency with the shortages, and Trump just puts the phone down, and then just, like, starts playing on his phone.
adam crigler
He starts tweeting.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
And then Joe's just saying, like, see, Joe's saying words that don't mean anything when you combine them.
So it's like... It's called, word's out.
No, no, no, actually, no, actually, he said, he said, Sakes?
adam crigler
Sakes?
tim pool
Sakes?
What does that mean?
adam crigler
Uh, I don't know.
lydia smith
For Pete's sakes?
tim pool
I don't know.
No, he said, we will never let America's sakes second fiddle.
lydia smith
He mixed two words.
unidentified
What?
lydia smith
Yeah, like second and takes.
I don't know.
tim pool
Nobody said second.
I don't know.
If he was gonna say take, why is there an S at the end of it?
I don't know.
Anyway, back to the main point and we can move on to like the YouTube stuff.
lydia smith
I don't know.
tim pool
Think about how insane that all sounds.
Any honest person will tell you, like even somebody who doesn't like Trump, like you look at these progressive personalities, people like, you know, Jimmy Dore, Kyle Klinsky, they do not like Trump.
And there's a reason why they're for Bernie.
They're like, any honest person is gonna look at Biden and be like, what?
adam crigler
You want him to lead us?
tim pool
You want to put him next to Trump on a stage?
Would he be making a sideshow?
adam crigler
I'll pay to see that.
Honestly, it would be entertaining to watch that.
tim pool
No, it's elder abuse.
adam crigler
I agree.
lydia smith
I agree.
adam crigler
Exactly.
I'm not the one saying, Biden, you should run for president.
tim pool
I don't know who is telling him, but Trump versus Biden would be... It's Melissa Milano endorsing him even after he was accused.
Look, we can feel bad for him as a doting old, you know... I don't feel bad for him.
adam crigler
He's doing it.
He's running himself.
He still has the choice to run or not.
He's still a human that's alive, I think.
lydia smith
As far as I can tell.
tim pool
Look, man, the guy can't speak.
adam crigler
I can barely tell that he is alive still.
tim pool
I don't think he's cognizant.
adam crigler
It's like Weekend at Bernie's, but Weekend at Joe's.
tim pool
Yeah, dude, it's totally Weekend at Biden's.
He's being propped up by the establishment.
adam crigler
If the next time we see him, he has dark shades on, yo.
tim pool
Dude, part of me thinks that every time he goes on the air, there's some young DNC people laughing.
adam crigler
Did you hear what he just said?
unidentified
Get him to say it again.
adam crigler
Get him to say it again.
tim pool
Joe, say this.
And Joe's just like... And they're laughing like it's a joke.
There can't be any... Look.
He's got people working for him, right?
They have to know his mind is jello.
Right?
lydia smith
They have to.
adam crigler
What does she think?
Like, oh, he's, you know, he's an old guy, you know, like we got to give due process.
Do you think they paid her off?
Like, oh, you know what?
We can get to her and have her like back him up so that she'll bring the whole Me Too movement to like not, you know, bring this whole thing to like a big thing that ruins Biden's chances.
tim pool
You know, I'd like to accuse her, I guess, but I have no proof, so without evidence, I will not.
I'll just say that I don't think there's any sane person on the planet who thinks she's being honest.
And this is why Trump's approval rating goes up.
Because you see people like her, and you're like, dude, you can't... Come on, man.
If you want to lie, come up with a better lie than that.
lydia smith
Yeah, seriously.
tim pool
She's like, the sky is green.
And you're like, it's not.
It is.
It's not green.
I can see it.
adam crigler
Like seven months ago, you were telling me it was blue.
And it's still blue.
tim pool
This is what the craziest thing is to me.
There have been several instances where the media has done things like this.
They repeatedly come out and say, you know, Trump's response to the, you know, the COVID outbreak is terrible and he's doing really bad.
And I'm like, the polls show that most Americans like this.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
You coming out and telling them to their face that, no, it's actually really bad, is not going to change their minds.
It's going to make them not trust you because they've already made up their minds and they were asked about it and they said they like this.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
Like, the way I described it before is like, imagine you have this really delicious slice of pizza.
lydia smith
I love a pizza analogy.
tim pool
And you're like, mm, this is so delicious.
And also, Mana goes, it's actually not delicious.
adam crigler
Oh, here, here.
I'll be the news.
I'll be the news.
You be you eating pizza.
tim pool
I am eating this pizza.
adam crigler
Hello, Tim.
Do you like your pizza?
tim pool
I absolutely love it.
adam crigler
This just in!
Tim does not like his pizza at all.
lydia smith
Yeah, exactly.
adam crigler
Pizza is bad for you.
tim pool
You've got to falsely frame it.
You've got to be like... Just right.
Fact check.
Did Tim actually say he liked his pizza?
Cold?
No.
And then you do this really long winded speech about how proper pizza tastes.
adam crigler
That's if you're Snopes.
I was going for the whole media where they're just like, I'm just going to give them what we want them to give.
He hates pizza.
tim pool
Opinion.
And then at the end say, well, he does like pizza.
There's no evidence to suggest he likes all pizza all the time everywhere.
Therefore, it's improper to say he likes pizza.
lydia smith
Or that he loves pizza.
tim pool
Or he loves pizza.
You know what, man?
adam crigler
For those wondering, he actually really likes pizza.
lydia smith
He does, yes.
tim pool
I do like pizza.
lydia smith
No fake news here.
adam crigler
Watch that, you know.
Pizza's really yummy.
tim pool
Everybody likes pizza.
adam crigler
Everybody likes pizza.
tim pool
You could take bread and put sauce and put anything on it and you're like, it's pretty good.
I think take two of them and you put it together and you have a sandwich.
adam crigler
Yeah, man.
tim pool
But who do you think Alyssa Milano is trying to is like?
Do you think there are people in this country that are sitting there and she comes out and says, Joe Biden's going to be a great president?
And they're like, wow, that's a good point.
adam crigler
No, absolutely not.
tim pool
No, no.
adam crigler
Right.
unidentified
Who or why should I hear what you have to say about this?
adam crigler
Because, you know, the whole thing is that she's she was in such a prominent place for the MeToo movement.
And now it's almost like she's throwing that all out of the window just to endorse Biden.
lydia smith
I don't think she is.
I think this is a really clever publicity stunt.
tim pool
Yeah, publicity stunt.
lydia smith
Like, for example, right now, we are talking about her.
adam crigler
That's what I was saying!
lydia smith
Yeah, man.
adam crigler
That's the first thing I said.
lydia smith
She's, like, nailing this publicity thing.
adam crigler
It's like, and who's talking about her?
Everybody.
tim pool
When I think of her, I don't think of, like, some, like, angelic visage coming down from the heavens with a beacon of light.
I see that old lady from Princess Bride going, Joe Biden for president! And I'm like, eww.
adam crigler
I don't know, man.
She's pretty cringy.
tim pool
Yeah, I don't know.
But this brings me to the next point. We'll get the super chats, but the next thing we're
going to talk about is, you know what I find?
What do you find, Tim?
When Joe Biden comes out in the media and he goes, the thing about the president and
you know, with COVID, we got to get the cars because the shortage, when he says stuff like
that and you're like, what?
The media corrects him, like, without correcting.
So what they'll do is he'll mutter and mumble, and then the headline will say, Joe Biden calls for swift action on coronavirus.
You're like, no, no, he didn't.
adam crigler
He said something about driving cars during the crisis, like what?
tim pool
But driving a car is about moving quickly.
So but look at the headlines when they write about Biden.
He'll go on MSNBC or The View or something.
He'll just incoherently mumble.
And then they'll write this puff piece explaining what they think he was actually saying.
lydia smith
That's a good point, because I'll read the headline and I'm like, I don't remember Joe saying that.
Am I getting dementia?
What's going on here?
I don't like this.
tim pool
Think about this.
If they start getting rid of channels like this one, getting rid of people like Luke and many other people they've gotten rid of, how long until They control the narrative again, like the old days.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
When everyone just watched the three different news channels.
And all someone had to do is call all three channels and be like, this is what you're reporting now.
unidentified
Yep.
adam crigler
And then they were like, hey, American public, we're trustworthy.
This is what's happening.
tim pool
So let's jump to the Super Chats.
Scary.
And the next one we'll get to is they're purging a bunch of YouTubers.
Right.
And it's getting to that point where it's actually getting pretty scary.
adam crigler
Agreed.
tim pool
GM Watari says, I need two hours of distraction.
Well, here you go, sir.
lydia smith
Here we are.
unidentified
Boom.
adam crigler
You've got it.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
Dark Ranch said, good afternoon.
Hope you're having a good day.
What is the secret that you use to power the beanies?
Battery.
Car batteries and jumper cables.
Red Beard says, YouTube has been promoting a lot of your old videos on my app lately, including a 12-year-old video of you skating in a warehouse.
That's from my buddy Brett Novak.
It was actually 13 years ago because he uploaded it, like, later.
And my name's in it, so for some reason they're promoting it like crazy.
You know what it is?
They blacklisted my channel.
adam crigler
Oh, so when they type your name in, it's popping up.
tim pool
You can't Google search my channel.
You can Google search this one because it's new.
But TimCast and TimCast News don't even come up on Google.
So when people start searching for Tim Pool, that's the video that comes up because they don't show, they do show my main channels and stuff though.
But this one, it's crazy because when the video was first put up, it was the early days of YouTube, it had like a few thousand views.
And I think I'm like 18 in it, 18 or 19.
Now it's got almost 200,000.
Nice!
And it's not even a good, like, it was a great- It's pretty good, I watched it.
adam crigler
I love that video.
You got some clean tricks in it.
tim pool
Well, for me, 20 years, you know, What is it, 13 years later?
adam crigler
I can still see your skating style.
It's really crisp and clean, though.
It hasn't changed.
tim pool
I could film a such better video.
That's why I'm like, let's do it!
adam crigler
People are asking!
I'm sure, well, I don't know if they are.
No, no, people have asked.
You guys want it, right?
tim pool
I'm waiting for Brett.
adam crigler
What?
I made videos?
tim pool
Look around!
Look at these nice cameras.
The world famous skate video producer Brett Novak is free.
adam crigler
I got nothing on Brett, you're right.
I got nothing on Brett.
I don't know if you guys have seen his videos, they're amazing though.
tim pool
He's probably the best cinematographer in skateboarding.
adam crigler
Yeah, cool.
You're right.
I don't know anyone who does it like he does.
tim pool
There's a lot of good filmers for skateboarding.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But Brett makes, like, movies.
Like, one of the ones he did is Time Moves Backwards, but the Skateboarder Moves Forwards.
adam crigler
That one's amazing.
tim pool
So I hit him up, and I was like, bro, you gotta come hang out.
And we can hang out on the show or something.
adam crigler
Arbor Skateboards did some really cool videos.
They're similar and shorter.
You know his are a little bit longer and not all of them actually but artsy the one that the one that there's a an arbor skateboards video of me in new york and that was done by a canadian named ali i don't remember his last name but he did a really good job on it and it reminds me of brett's videos they're kind of they're flowy they feel like a story it really takes you into the environment and It's so neat.
lydia smith
I love his stuff.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's good.
But you should check him out if you don't know Brett Novak.
Yeah, he's great.
tim pool
His channel is Bragic.
B-R-A-G-I-C.
I got a couple videos too.
I got a couple single trick videos on his shortsighted series.
adam crigler
Word.
tim pool
Yeah.
Daniel says, Alyssa Milano exposed herself.
That's hot.
Yeah, but not in the good way, in the awful political way, so.
All Metal Mike says, Jan feds arrest C. Lieber, Harvard professor of nanosciences and two Chinese nationals for lying.
Harvard owns largest percentage of coronavirus nanotechnology patents.
Possible?
They use nanotech to transmit the virus.
I really, really doubt it.
I would never put money on a bet for anything like that.
However, there was this interaction recently from Trump where he asked a reporter if she worked for China.
And she said she worked for a private company out of Hong Kong.
And he says, was it owned by China?
And she said, no.
And now a bunch of people are pointing out that the Hong Kong company's principal, one of the chief officers, used to be in the Chinese military.
Dude, there are a bunch of Chinese spies that are sewing discord and messing around.
adam crigler
And they're in the press?
tim pool
The arrests are legit.
adam crigler
Press briefings now?
unidentified
Apparently.
tim pool
I guess.
adam crigler
Great.
tim pool
These people, in on the take, treason, man.
Kaj says, if Boris dies from, I believe he meant dies, dies from Corona-leaked bioweapon in Britain, will have grounds to kick off World War III, let the nuclear Armageddon begin.
Well, I don't think it was a bioweapon.
I think, this is really funny.
We're going to talk about YouTube, all right?
YouTube straight up says you cannot say that coronavirus was made in a lab.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
They'll demonetize you.
The Washington Post and the Daily Mail both ran articles saying It's possible this originated in a lab with an accidental exposure due to a naturally occurring virus in bats.
Accidentally got exposed.
I talk about it.
I get demonetized.
I can't even read the mainstream news because YouTube is not news, so their staff are two weeks behind the mainstream media.
I'm talking about mainstream news reports, they demonetize me.
So, YouTube's breaking its own rules.
YouTube says you can't go against scientific consensus.
Oh, well.
Then YouTube just went against it, because I was reading the Washington Post.
Yep, that's the game YouTube's playing right now.
And you'll get banned, and they'll delete your account, you'll lose all your revenue and everything.
Salon says, Man, what will the UK be like if Boris dies?
For those who don't know, Prime Minister of the UK Boris Johnson is in the ICU and we're all wishing him the best.

Yep.

Eleven Bravo says, Alyssa Milano, oh no, Mr. Bill.
Left is insane says, Today I lost my job, got in a car accident, and accidentally ate peanuts, which I'm allergic to, causing my throat to swell.
Today was great.
Whoa, are you in the hospital?
adam crigler
Sorry to hear.
lydia smith
We're here to make it better.
tim pool
Well, we're here to complain about a bunch of stuff and hopefully that's some kind of catharsis.
little bit. Some kind of catharsis. Sorry dude. K98 says, the rent strike isn't entitlement but
righteous indignation at being told to eat cake. The landed aristocrats told them to suffer alone,
unpatriotic. The rent strike thing is interesting because the way I see it is, some landlords,
Some rich people, sure.
But most of these rental management companies in New York are not massive, super rich people.
It's like medium-sized businesses with 20, 30 employees or something.
Actually, that's a small business, I'm pretty sure.
adam crigler
Yeah, my apartment that I lived in New York before I left was a house that privately was owned by the original owner
who moved down to Florida to retire.
And she was just like this 78-year-old woman who was very nice and we paid her direct.
She couldn't afford that.
tim pool
So, well, here's the story.
A company sent out an email to all of its tenants saying, you know, this big thing about like,
here's where you can get help if you're hurting, if you lost your job, but you do have to pay rent
while evictions are frozen for now.
They will not be frozen indefinitely, and rent is due.
And so they're all going like, yeah, rent strike!
Because now we have everyone's email addresses and we can all come together.
And I'm like, these people think that landlord isn't a job.
They move into a place for a year, on a year lease, and they move out.
Who's gonna maintain that building for the 30 plus years of that mortgage?
Who's gonna pay the mortgage, the taxes, the utilities, the groundskeeper, the manager, all that stuff.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Groundskeeper.
So, what they're basically saying, I was like, imagine if a bunch of people showed up to a grocery store and said, food strike!
And then just started taking food.
It's like, I mean, you could, I get it.
adam crigler
Doesn't that happen in San Francisco right now?
tim pool
It's happening in New York.
Well, in Sicily.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
Oh yeah, Sicily, right.
They don't have a choice.
tim pool
Look, I understand that people need shelter, but if you're getting a stimulus package four months paid from the government, then how do you justify not paying rent?
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
I get it.
People are hurting.
Not everybody can, you know, but I think regardless of what happens, I don't even, I don't actually even care if they do the rent strike for the most part.
And you shouldn't, I mean, you could if you want, if you want to.
The important point is that it's happening.
This is a first step in, like, the complete breakdown.
They don't pay, then the rental management companies don't pay, then their employees get laid off and their employees don't pay, and it is a ripple effect that just takes everything down with it.
lydia smith
Yeah, it's a precedent that I don't like to see.
tim pool
Yep.
Nikolai says, Tim, with the need to bring manufacturing of critical drugs and medical equipment back to the country, have you re-evaluated Congress buying a bunch of extra M1 Abrams MBT to keep the last tank factory operational?
Um, I don't, I don't know.
I would have to, I don't know, go over that.
I think that has to do with like them building a bunch of tanks all the time.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
I guess.
I don't know.
Trump's, Trump loves the military.
He's, he's buying a bunch of bullets and stuff.
Let's see.
What does it say?
Alec Zero says, if the hypothesis about the Wuhan fever leaking from the bio lab turns out to be true, what do you think the world will demand from China?
And do you think China would even comply with said demands?
They would not.
Apparently there was some story where, uh, so an expert from Rutgers, This is what's really annoying, okay?
YouTube, we're gonna demonetize you if you say this.
Yeah, okay, well an expert from Rutgers, someone who specializes in infectious disease, said that Wuhan's lab was operating under a level 2 security instead of level 4, and that's why there in the past had been concerns about breaches.
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
That's an expert from a major university talking to the Washington Post who said that YouTube punishes me because of it.
adam crigler
Like years ago, too.
tim pool
What, years ago?
Like it happened a long time ago.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
Like 2017.
That's what I'm saying.
So the Washington Post gets a quote from a guy from a university.
I say it, YouTube flags my video.
Confirmed.
Knockdown.
YouTube, so stupid.
adam crigler
You should save it for the next segment.
tim pool
No, it's because... Right, right, right, right.
Let's see what we got here.
Shinojima says, Hey guys, love your work, hope you all stay safe.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
We are, because we are homebodies.
adam crigler
Appreciate it.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
Redbeard says, Do you think the Ohio state rep has learned the ICC has no jurisdiction over non-party states, i.e.
unidentified
the U.S.?
lydia smith
I bet she knows now.
tim pool
Did you see what happened?
A state rep from Ohio called for Trump to face the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
which the US doesn't recognize and it has no jurisdiction.
And she called for this because Trump said that hydroxychloroquine may work or may not work
at a press conference. So she called for him to face the charges of crimes against humanity.
Meanwhile, Andrew Cuomo is administering the treatment with moderate success.
adam crigler
And being glorified.
tim pool
Another Resistance Twitter guy said that Trump has already satisfied involuntary manslaughter, but is actually broaching grounds for second-degree murder.
adam crigler
Wait, is that because of that Arizona couple?
Right, so she actually succeeded in pitching off her husband's murder onto someone else.
tim pool
No, no, we don't know that.
lydia smith
Conspiracy!
tim pool
We're not sure.
Here's how the game is played.
They want clicks.
They want likes.
They want follows.
So you gotta up the ante.
So if someone comes out and says Trump should be charged for crimes against humanity, the next person can't say the same thing.
They say, as a prosecutor, I think it's murder.
That's right.
And it's like, are you kidding, dude?
You people are insane.
George W. Bush.
Dick Cheney.
Barack Obama.
None of them have faced any charges for anything they did.
And you think the orange man will face charges because he recommended a drug that's actually already approved in this country for other uses, is actually recommended in other countries, and has been approved by the FDA for emergency use.
adam crigler
That's your grounds for- It's already being used.
There's already a medicine out there that you can use, but you have to get it from a doctor!
Wow, what a surprise.
Yeah, you can't just find it on the shelf.
tim pool
This is what I love about politics, and I mean this not seriously.
Barack Obama's all like, you know, they had a thing called Terror Tuesdays, where they would bring what was called the disposition matrix.
They called it like baseball cards of terror, and he would choose who to kill.
So, you know, sure enough, one day they go on Tuesday to Mr. Barack Obama, and they're like, they lay out the folders.
I don't know exactly what it was like, but you know, they give him the options.
And he's like, hmm, yes, this person right here, I believe we should kill.
And then he pointed out a civilian cafe in Yemen, where his administration then blew it up, killing a 16-year-old American citizen named Abdul Rahman al-Awlaki.
And there was not a single voice cried out that he should face, well, I'm kidding, tons of activists have been screeching about this for a long time.
But now, these Democrats, you know, these establishment types are just, you know, do-do-do-do-do.
Oh, but Trump recommended a medication the FDA approved?
unidentified
Lock him up!
tim pool
That's politics today.
adam crigler
And where was that small, was it a small country that was... Yemen?
Yemen?
Oh, yeah.
No, no the girl from Ohio was trying to bring him up charges in what place?
Oh, Netherlands?
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Was there someone in Netherlands that like took the medicine or something?
unidentified
No!
tim pool
It's because The Hague is the international criminal court.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
tim pool
But the U.S.
doesn't recognize it.
It has no jurisdiction here.
It's like it's like a European thing.
adam crigler
But the medicine's actually working, though.
tim pool
Well, anecdotal positive results.
And in China it's being used, in various countries it's being used.
The CDC, it's all on the CDC's website.
And this is grounds for Trump to be charged under the Crimes Against Humanity statutes and then murder charges.
No, these people are literally insane.
adam crigler
I don't get it.
tim pool
And these are the ones who are like, I'm voting for Biden.
unidentified
It's like, you are not well.
Right.
I agree.
tim pool
Well, well, I don't know.
It's not the Bernie people the Bernie people for the most part while they don't like Trump right like
Look at these people like they're lunatics, and they are lunatics. I agree or they're liars and manipulators
adam crigler
Well, I don't know lunatics. You know our has something to do with the moon. That's true. Let's be honest
tim pool
You know hasn't that a reference to like when the full moon comes out they go crazy. That's true
adam crigler
Yeah, lunatics when the moon comes out Police forces up the amount of police on duty, but you know
tim pool
why probably same in hospitals It's probably because it's brighter out.
adam crigler
Aren't we made of water?
lydia smith
Yes, we are.
adam crigler
Doesn't the moon pull the entire ocean around when it swings around us?
Don't you think it affects us a little bit?
lydia smith
That was kind of my theory.
tim pool
I think it's brighter out.
adam crigler
It pulls us a little bit.
tim pool
Brighter out, you can see.
adam crigler
I think it pulls us a little bit.
tim pool
Alright, we're being levitated.
adam crigler
It pulls on your beanie a little, you gotta admit it.
lydia smith
Yeah, that's true.
Alright, let's get through some more of these.

Can we stop a flu that all mammals have?
Did we destroy the world economy for nothing?

Crowder called her?

Silver Paradox says, who's the boss? That's the show that she was on.
Solitary Gamer says, do you see Crowder's call with the the journo about the fish tank cleaner woman? Might be
worth a vid.
No, I didn't see that. Crowder called her?
Well, he's- Had a convo with her? I don't know.
A journalist, probably, I think it sounds.
But Crowder dug into this, and I think he might have even, you know, broke the first hint to this that she was, it's being alleged, rumors, she was abusing her husband, tried to divorce him.
Sure enough, he drinks poison and dies.
adam crigler
A lethal dose.
tim pool
A lethal dose.
lydia smith
Crazy.
tim pool
So, you know, and she was not a Trump fan.
She had, and this was covered by a bunch of other people, she had previously posted to Facebook that Trump was psycho.
Why would she then think he's a psycho and then see him on the TV and be like, I will eat fish cleaner.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
It doesn't make sense.
Don't eat fish cleaner.
You know what, man?
lydia smith
Period.

Saul Alinsky.
You didn't!
He is.
I guess he is.
says, this Biden story reminds me of the Stephen Crowder sketch called Biden Grab Ass. I didn't
know Stephen was a psychic. You didn't. He is. I guess he is. Couch says, have you looked
into Nathan Rich? He's been talking about you in his YouTube videos. I don't know who
that is. No. The Hylian Juggalo says, if you get Lawian, ask about the black market for
tech certs in China and India.
As a CCNA, drives me mad.
China's been doing it since the 90s.
If you wonder where the get an A plus for family stereotype comes from, here it is.
Well, will do.
Student of History says, I'm on the side of Rose McGowan.
This is weird, bro.
Also, I'm surprised someone hasn't had a strongly worded conversation with Joe Biden between the small children sniffing and then Ash Carter's wife.
They did.
He apologized.
He did a public statement where he's like, you know, it's old days and the things I used to do and I'll do better this time.
And they're like, good.
And then he gets up on stage, grabs someone's shoulders and goes, It's like, didn't they just tell you?
adam crigler
He's gross.
tim pool
He's nasty, man.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So, you know what?

He makes me uncomfortable when he's not grabbing me.

Donald Trump doesn't make me comfortable.
I feel bad for all those girls.

And I'm like, do people even know who Rosamund Goenel is?
adam crigler
Well, it's not even necessarily the Me Too movement.
It's Alyssa Milano in this situation.
tim pool
But she started it.
adam crigler
Oh, she started the whole movement?
tim pool
She started the whole thing.
unidentified
Completely?
adam crigler
Like, she's the number, like, patient zero?
She tweeted.
tim pool
She tweeted, if every woman would tweet hashtag Me Too, blah, blah, blah.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
So she started it.
tim pool
She started everything.
And it was a sham.
adam crigler
I guess it's a sham.
tim pool
Yep, because now she's endorsing it.
Yeah, she straight up.
She straight up went from like assault is bad to Maybe it's okay.
It's okay if Joe Biden does it.
unidentified
Yeah, basically.
adam crigler
That's all I'm seeing from all her tweets, trying to explain it.
tim pool
Here's an excellent one.
Viva Celestia says, I wish Biden would sniff my hair.
adam crigler
You'd get punched in the mouth.
tim pool
David says, times like these that I like to think of the good old days, when you were a bedroom journalist and had that sick outro music, bring back the old music.
We're working on new music.
adam crigler
Yes we are.
Lots of new music's gonna be coming from this place.
tim pool
The good old days.
Joey says, anyone else a little suspicious that the Who's director's sister is the managing director of the International Monetary Fund?
I honestly don't find that suspicious.
adam crigler
I don't know anything about it.
tim pool
You know what Bilderberg is?
adam crigler
Sounds familiar.
tim pool
It's like a convention of all these super rich people and heads of state every year.
And I've always heard these explanations about how they're doing these nefarious things, and I'm like, it's really just birds of a feather flock together.
It's a convention for rich people who run stuff.
And they hang out, and it's like, I know they're probably talking about really awful things.
And that's why a lot of these journalists show up and try and film them and stuff.
But, I don't think it's a conspiracy like there's a grand cabal that like, and we all meet and organize the world.
It's like a bunch of people who run massive companies meet.
Same as you're into what you do, there's problems with it for sure.
Like heads of state meeting with billionaires and then like discussing candid things that the public can't know about, I'm not a fan of.
adam crigler
Good point.
tim pool
But yeah, the WHO and the International Monetary Fund, I don't like the mixing of all this stuff, the revolving door, the nepotism.
It's how the world's run.
It's always been run that way.
I'm actually upstairs playing video games right now.
Stay home. Stay safe. Nice. Chuck Morris says is so a Jesus CGI just asking he is actually he is a perfect computer
unidentified
rendering in real time I'm actually upstairs playing video games
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is all an illusion we the The first thing we had Adam do when he got here was read key sentences.
Like, you have to read seven sentences so the computer can perfectly emulate his voice.
adam crigler
And then I had to wear the suit with all these white dots.
And I kept moving around.
I don't know.
Whatever.
tim pool
And he was like, so you mean to tell me I have to do no work?
We just do this one time and you play video games throughout and the computer just uses you.
adam crigler
Yeah.
Great job, baby.
I got the best job ever.
tim pool
Michael Hendrick says, I added you and Lydia on Twitter.
Not sure if you saw it.
This guy on YouTube is smearing you, calling you a liar, and that you were a conspiracy theorist is actually quite funny.
I mean, I don't know why people send me this stuff, to be honest.
No disrespect to people who do, but I've got 710,000 followers, subscribers on my main channel.
We've got almost 200 on this one.
I've got 600 on my other one.
Subverse has another 160.
I get this every day, like, times 100.
Yeah.
lydia smith
I enjoy reading them.
tim pool
People are like, dude, did you see this guy made a video?
adam crigler
I got people hitting me up, like, man, yo, you should tell Tim that this is happening.
And I'm like, he knows.
lydia smith
Yeah, he probably already knows.
unidentified
I just ignore it.
adam crigler
And if he doesn't know, he doesn't care.
tim pool
So, you know, I get people who I know who are also, like, decently sized YouTubers will be like, yo, bro, like, you see what's going on?
And I'm like, dude, I told you I don't check my notifications.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Just ignore it.
I don't care.
You know, the crazy thing is a lot of people get really bent out of shape on Twitter when
they're like, people are saying mean things about me.
It's like, if you turn it off, it goes away.
I know.
adam crigler
It's gone.
lydia smith
It's nice.
adam crigler
I know, but look at society though, you know.
Not to say that you're wrong, because I agree with you.
There is an essence of turning it off in like real life, and I don't have to know about that.
But society now, we are in this online world you know so like your online persona is now a part of you that actually affects people a lot more nowadays especially when they don't have like your strength of character that you have you know you know you you're gonna be you you know it's like that's how i feel i am too like i know i'm gonna be me i'm not gonna people can call me i don't know if soy jesus was a joke to try to make fun of me or what it was but it's like it's great like whatever i think it's hilarious you know but
tim pool
Could you imagine if Alyssa Milano did like a response video?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
It's ridiculous.
She would never do that.
adam crigler
She wouldn't, no.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
And that's why she's got, you know, 3.7 million followers.
I think it's funny when, you know, I get messages from people trying to goad me into like YouTube drama.
And I'm like, you realize that the people who watch my stuff don't know who you are.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And don't want to hear about that.
They want to hear about the goings on of things and how we feel about them.
If I came out and said like, there's this guy, he's got like 20 followers and he called me a conspiracy theorist, they'd be like, dude, so what?
Who cares?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You know?
Yeah.
adam crigler
Or anyone.
If anyone called you anything, who cares?
tim pool
Dude, I get called so many names.
adam crigler
I'm going to do me and do my own thing.
tim pool
I'll tell you this though.
After Occupy Wall Street, that was like the first time I'd ever gotten like press attention.
All of a sudden I went from having like 600 followers to having 6,000.
Dude, it was stressful.
adam crigler
Was it?
tim pool
Because I didn't understand what was going on.
And so all of a sudden my phone would vibrate and I'd look at my phone and they would be like, you POS, your mother.
And I'm like, what's happening?
And I'd look and they'd say all these crazy things about me.
People started like photoshopping pictures of me.
And I started getting like, I would get like, I would get stressed out by it.
And then, you know, I consider myself to be rather measured.
And so like, almost immediately after the first day of like getting slammed by all these
tweets insulting me and attacking me, I was just like, F this.
X. And I'm like, I'm out.
And that was the end of it.
And then it was really interesting for me.
I'll tell you what really shuts this off for your brain is when I was in Venezuela and this high profile pundit accused me of being a CIA operative, some kind of spy.
And then I got in like 10 minutes, 10,000 plus tweets threatening me, insulting me from Venezuelans, like some of them threatening death.
And I'm like, that's a wake-up call when your phone just goes like, brr-brr-brr-brr-brr-brr-brr-brr-brr-brr.
And like, all these things are popping up, like, we're coming for you, we'll find you.
And I'm like, time to leave the country.
So if you think, like, calling me a name is worrisome to me when I've literally been shot at and forced to flee a country after being accused of being a spy by a high-profile pundit.
adam crigler
That's what it is.
We've both been shot at.
tim pool
Oh, definitely, man.
adam crigler
That's it.
Once you've been shot at, you're like, meh.
lydia smith
Everything else is super chill.
That's Chicago.
adam crigler
Go ahead, call me words.
It is also Chicago.
I'm from Chicago, too, if you guys don't know, and that's where it was.
tim pool
That's where the shooting was.
I'll be talking with, like, a female journalist.
Conflict reporter.
And you can tell when someone's actually dealt with real life.
I'll say it's extremely rare to find one of these woke, dainty flowers of a conspiracy.
I've never met a conflict journalist that is into all this social justice whatever and is really delicate and scared and offended all the time.
adam crigler
Oh, I see.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Every single conflict journalist I've ever interacted with, male or female, has been like, I don't care about that.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Like, because the first time, the first bullet flies past your head, you get a, you get a sense of what matters in life.
lydia smith
It really gives you some perspective.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
lydia smith
That makes sense.
adam crigler
Have you, have you been shot at?
lydia smith
I have not.
unidentified
Oh.
Yeah.
lydia smith
No, but I could see it.
tim pool
Well, when you're from Chicago, it's almost like a right of passage.
unidentified
You don't have a choice.
It's true.
tim pool
Not shot at, maybe like, they shot in your general direction.
adam crigler
Oh no, they were shooting at me.
lydia smith
Oh man, they were out to get Soy Jesus.
adam crigler
I'm dead serious.
Yeah.
And you know why?
You know why they were shooting at me and my friends?
lydia smith
Why?
adam crigler
Because one of my friends had his hat that way.
lydia smith
Oh no!
adam crigler
Instead of this way.
And three of them came up to us and was like, take off your hat.
My buddy's like, no.
And they're like, take it off or else.
And he's like, no.
lydia smith
Oh my god.
adam crigler
And then they ran that way and all of a sudden we were barbecuing and a bullet hit the barbecue.
unidentified
Whoa.
adam crigler
And my friend was like, they're shooting at us.
And we started going and I ran to the, I saw a dumpster and I was running to the dumpster to get behind it.
And I heard the bullet go past my head and I saw the bullet hole in the dumpster as I dove behind it.
I was like, I almost just died.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
That's Chicago.
lydia smith
Immediate focus.
tim pool
So I was getting off the highway.
adam crigler
So that happened.
tim pool
290 is the highway that goes into Chicago.
And I was with my brother, my older brother Ryan, and we were driving off this exit.
And it's in the middle of the night.
We start, we see this, it's like an Oldsmobile driving towards us, when all of a sudden an arm just very slowly, methodically goes like that with the gun.
Boom!
And we're like, what the?
We had no idea why.
That's Chicago.
And we were like, we just look at each other smile and go, Chicago.
unidentified
Sure.
tim pool
And then we pop a Mentos and we just carry on with our lives.
adam crigler
Do like a hop skip.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
High five in the air.
Freeze frame.
Yeah.
tim pool
But, but I think actually they're like, we're, we're, we're joking about all this, but, but in reality, a lot of these people that are super like screechy and whiny, like who go out and like throw bricks and stuff, they've never actually experienced hardship.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
They tend to be, you know, the progressive activists, this is what the studies say, tend to be higher profile, white, college educated, coming from wealthier families, or making $100,000 a year or more.
adam crigler
Well, the online persona, you have, like, this fake armor, you know?
It's because I'm here, and anything I send goes out there that I have this huge armor that no one can touch me, so I can say anything I want.
tim pool
Yeah, but these people get legit anxiety attacks from seeing naughty words on the internet.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
Like, you'll say, like, you're a poo-poo head, and they'll go, And they'll collapse.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And they'll call it violence.
adam crigler
And they'll call the police on you.
tim pool
Yeah.
Well, the crazy thing is now, because this is one of those things we might get to, is that a lot of these people, you know, they're susceptible to COVID.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
Yeah, you're right.
Big fat feminists.
And I'm not saying that in a derogatory way.
I'm saying they're literally, that's what they are, big fat feminists.
And there is a risk factor there.
So all of this, you know, lack of responsibility is putting them in dangerous and in harm's way.
And I think that's a bad thing.
I'd like everyone to be healthy, you know.
Let's grab some more of these and we'll try and get to this next segment.

lydia smith
Yeah, my voice is very nice compared to what I actually look like.
adam crigler
I'm looking over and I just see a beanie.
lydia smith
Yeah, I'm just a big blob.
adam crigler
Just a beanie that talks a little bit.
tim pool
All right, I think we're gonna have to speed things up, so I apologize if we can't get to your superchats, but we got a ton of superchats just jumped right in, I don't even know where we're at.

Right.
Yeah, you can't microwave them.
tim pool
But in the commercial, they show you put it in the microwave.
adam crigler
Yeah, but then they get rubbery.
No, you gotta put them in the oven.
The oven.

adam crigler
Word.
tim pool
What up?
FLA says, still essential, still working.
One confirmed case is in my store.
F for me, lol.
You know what a friend said to me?
They said it's not essential, it's sacrificial.
They're the people who have to work that, or else.
adam crigler
That's like their job.
That's an interesting point.
tim pool
They're thrown on the front lines, they know they'll get sick and they have to do it anyway.
And the rest of us hide while they are on the front line.
adam crigler
Shout out to all those sacrificial workers then.
tim pool
Essential workers.
adam crigler
Essential workers.
tim pool
But I don't blame them for feeling like they're being sacrificial.
adam crigler
Yeah, but seriously, everyone keeps, all these, the clapping videos are a little weird.
Like I'm proving to the world that I'm clapping for these people.
It's like, no, no, no, no.
But I have a platform here, I'm just gonna say thank you for doing your job.
tim pool
I'll tell you what, you know what makes better videos?
Walk up to them and hand them a dollar.
Like, here you go.
adam crigler
Yeah, a buddy of mine was like, you know what, I really don't need this money
from the government.
Why shouldn't we just send it to, we should send it to the people that need it.
And I just said, why don't you just take it and go find someone and give it to them then?
lydia smith
Yeah, that's all you have to do.
tim pool
That's the other thing too, it's like, AOC is, Ocasio-Cortez was talking about how they should give stimulus money based on reparations for minorities, so that, you know, people who don't need it don't get it, and I'm like, They're literally giving out the money based on your income.
So regardless of your race, if you're poor and need it, you get it.
And if you're rich, you don't.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And you know what?
That's technically unfair.
adam crigler
You know why?
Why?
tim pool
So if somebody in 2018 worked double shifts every week to save up, they don't get access to the stimulus.
It doesn't mean they have money now.
adam crigler
Because they were making more that year.
tim pool
Yeah, so the assumption that everyone has is that if you made, you know, $100,000 a year in 2018, it means that you were working a 40-hour-a-week job and just happened to be rich.
You could also have been working two $50,000-a-year jobs and just working overtime to save up and be responsible, and now you don't get access to the stimulus.
adam crigler
So there's holes in it, but for the most part, yeah, for the most part, it's like, if you're rich, you don't get it.
tim pool
You don't need it.
Somebody who works 80-hour weeks on low-paying jobs to save up, I wouldn't call rich.
adam crigler
I agree.
tim pool
It's just someone who saved money.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
And worked hard.
tim pool
But I don't know how else you'd divvy it up.
I don't think giving it up based on race makes sense.
unidentified
Nope.
tim pool
All right, let's read some more.
adam crigler

lydia smith
That's a lot racist.

I can hear it in his lungs.

But YouTube has been increasingly shutting down content creators.
And this has started over the past few years, and as I've predicted and many others have predicted, what we think is happening YouTube wants to completely get rid of this.
They completely want to get rid of the independent, homegrown, small business media outfit.
Now, there are a lot of people who say really dumb things, and they were the first to go.
And I still think it's wrong, because I believe in free speech, even for people who aren't smart.
It's kind of weird that these people believe that if you're not smart enough, you're not allowed to speak, but that's what they're doing.
Well, it's slowly getting worse and worse.
So we just saw two major complete shutdowns on YouTube, and it's kind of worrying.
Let's start with Ariel Scarcella.
adam crigler
We'll start with Ariel.
What I think, it's just, these are the two people we know.
tim pool
Right.
adam crigler
You know what I mean?
tim pool
Oh, I know tons of other channels.
I've seen them all over.
adam crigler
So if this happened to these two, I can only imagine the amount that is across the board.
tim pool
It's a lot.
unidentified
Go ahead.
tim pool
So here's what's been happening.
Over the past several years, they've been slowly starting with demonetizations, just saying, oh no, this video is no good, this video is no good.
And they've started a hard manual review of every single channel, removing people from the partner program, which means you can't make money anymore.
You're out.
That means if you don't make money, they don't recommend your content.
Because YouTube prioritizes content with ads in it, because they want to make money.
So there's some good news for the high-profile YouTubers who have already broke through.
You're gonna get more money.
Because these other creators are being purged, that means the available ad space is going down.
I think I know why they're doing this, there's a couple reasons.
And one of them is ad space related, supply and demand.
But let's take a look at what happened first.
We have this tweet from Ariel Scarcella.
She was a guest on this show last month or so, and this is a tweet from January 2018.
She said, Well, shortly after appearing on this show, she tweeted this.
killing ads on most, around 79% of my videos.
If you'd like to help fund my LGBT educational content, please donate to her Patreon.
There are tons of great rewards and Skype calls from me.
Well shortly after appearing on this show, she tweeted this.
This is from a couple days ago.
I didn't want to post this publicly, but YouTube Creators has demonetized my entire channel
for the past three weeks.
If you, uh, if you want to see more of this, you can go to my Patreon page.
If you appreciate my content, please support my work through Patreon.
If you can afford it, a few dollars goes a long way.
This is an email she received that says, during a recent review, our team of policy specialists carefully looked over the videos you've uploaded to your channel.
We found that a significant portion of your channel is not in line with our YouTube Partner Program policies.
As of today, your channel is not eligible to monetize and you will not have access to monetization tools and features.
Please go to your monetization page to read more about the specific policy our specialists flagged.
Now this seems to be YouTube escalating their enforcement because Ariel talks about adults, you know, stuff.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You know, sexuality, relationships, and things like that.
But it was okay for the longest time.
The media, these people that are, you know, that YouTube competes with and don't like them, then start writing all this fake news, all these smears that are just not true, algorithmically, you know, Proven false.
Researchers from Berkeley, even.
You know, and Berkeley's super progressive, proved that the rabbit hole narrative is just all not true.
But this is part of what YouTube is doing to purge creators.
So the rules are getting stricter.
They're retroactively giving people guideline strikes.
Which brings me now to one of the more worrying demonetizations.
Because look, Arial, in my opinion, shouldn't have been demonetized.
They should have said, the specific content we don't want, you know, I get it.
I'll also point out, YouTube has no obligation to be your ad sales manager.
If nobody wants to watch your content, it's not YouTube's job to market for you and sell your ads.
But, uh, so again, I don't think it's fair that she was banned, but she did talk about adult stuff.
Now Luke, on the other hand, talks about news.
And this is what Luke tweeted.
This is just from a couple hours ago.
Just had YouTube totally take away my income, and now my entire channel is demonetized.
Why, YouTube creators?
This is how I survive.
Why do this now, especially during these difficult times?
Thank you to everyone who helps here.
You wanna know why this is so egregious, in my opinion?
Of all of the times YouTube could destroy someone's business, they're doing it at a time when the economy is already under massive strain, and the last thing we need is for someone like Luke to lose his job.
Now, I've taken some actions to try and mitigate the potential risk, because I don't think I'm safe.
How long until YouTube comes and, you know, gives the band hammer to me or anybody else?
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
You know, Luke said there was no specific video or violation, no strikes, nothing.
How the hell am I supposed to change anything if I don't know what to change?
And my livelihood is dependent on this.
This is cruel YouTube creators.
Yep.
It doesn't matter.
They don't care.
Meanwhile, Facebook is running ads of Chinese state propaganda blaming Trump for COVID-19.
YouTube will run overt fake news from mainstream media that just says, you know, Trump is bad.
People will fall for it.
They'll go insane.
And then a week later, it turns out Trump was right.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
So the example I used just a few minutes ago, I did a video on my second channel about the Wuhan CDC lab near the wet market.
The Washington Post wrote and got a quote from a Rutgers professor saying that there were security risks and that there had been breaches before and we should consider the possibility.
It's basically what they were saying.
We don't know for sure.
We do think the most likely is natural occurrence, but it may have been a breach from a lab.
YouTube demonetized that video because they have told me I'm not allowed to say the virus may have originated in a lab even though the mainstream media says it.
So this system can't function.
But I'll tell you what I think they're doing.
When you have YouTube with, I think there was like a hundred million channels.
And most of them don't produce anything.
You have essentially infinite supply.
Minimal demand.
So what ends up happening is, when a company like Pepsi wants to run ads, they're like, I can just sell an ad for a penny.
Or I can buy an ad for a penny because there's so much content that the supply is infinite.
You know, it's like, what am I worried about?
How can YouTube artificially suppress the supply so that Pepsi is forced to pay 2 cents, 3 cents, 4 cents, 5 cents, or more?
Ad rates are really, really low on YouTube, which made it hard for them to attract high-profile and high-budget projects.
I'll tell you what, man.
The amount of money that it would cost me on YouTube to make a really nice, beautiful documentary is a fraction of the cost it would be for any other production company.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
So like Vice, for instance, would spend $50,000 on a 10-minute segment.
I could do it for a couple grand.
But what ends up happening is, when you get people constantly cutting costs and making low quality content, then advertisers don't want to be associated with it.
You have a massive supply of cheap content that's not worth anything, and YouTube can't make money.
So YouTube finds an excuse.
Ooh, everyone's complaining about politics?
Let's start purging everybody.
That way we can force all of these companies to spend more on digital ads on YouTube, because it is valuable to a certain degree.
That will drive up the amount of money that the YouTubers get, and then they'll increase their production quality.
So I wonder if the actual reason these people are being purged is because their production quality was too low.
adam crigler
Or they didn't have the following.
tim pool
Luke has 622,000 subscribers.
adam crigler
Yeah, but was his videos... I don't really look at his YouTube channel, but were they popular?
And were they able to be advertised, in a sense?
like were they able to be you know advertised in a sense like you know you
said Pepsi as an example so wouldn't Pepsi want to be advertised on I don't
Drinking this stuff?
I guess, yeah.
People drink Pepsi while they're relaxing, whatever.
But like, you know, aren't ads like kind of catered to the video?
tim pool
Not always, but yes.
adam crigler
Like political stuff?
You'll see political stuff.
tim pool
Political ads are gone right now.
adam crigler
Right.
The political landscape is wiped out.
There isn't any.
tim pool
This is crazy.
So I'll tell you too, from a business standpoint, ad revenue is down, down, down.
Bad down for everybody.
And it's going down every single day.
Media companies are laying people off.
We're seeing a lot of companies either do layoffs or pay cuts.
CEOs skip their salaries.
But yeah, even for us, ad revenue is dropping substantially.
Now, because I, on my main channel, do politics, like ad revenue dropped off to a ridiculous degree, more than 50%.
It's like overnight, it's like, whoa, all of a sudden, gone.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So that's why I've done a few more sponsored spots.
But what's, what's, uh, what's worrying is, you know, I can't, I can't say exactly why they purged Luke, but right now of all the times to do it.
So when they started demonetizing my content, they were, they were demonetizing everything coronavirus related.
YouTube is not a good place to run a business.
Absolutely not.
There's a good opportunity because they market for you.
That's really what it's all about.
adam crigler
Yeah, but you said it yourself.
They don't have any obligation to put ads on your channel.
tim pool
Right.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
So here's the problem.
YouTube has taken the entire industry, the ad agency, the marketing company, and the hosting provider, put them all together, which just destroyed all the competition.
They've incentivized everyone to come to their platform and spend years building this stuff up.
Luke's been producing on YouTube for like... I mean, how long has it been?
15 years is some ridiculous number.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Yeah, so 13 or so years.
Because he's been on YouTube since it started.
Because he's always been like, you know, alternative media and all this stuff.
So they tell you all these things, and then without breaking the rules, without breaking any contracts, they destroy your business.
I'll put it this way.
Here's how I've always explained it to people.
Imagine if you found a building in your town, and you're like, this building looks great.
And you went to the bank, you bought it, put everything together, paid your taxes, and then one day, the local town comes in and says, the first thing we're gonna do is physically relocate your business out of downtown, 40 miles away from the city.
You'd be like, whoa, but then no one will ever come in to buy my cookies that I'm making.
That's what YouTube did first.
Deranking your content so that no one can find it.
And then they argue, oh, but people could still go by if they want to, yeah, but are they gonna look for it?
Then they remove you from search.
Now you can't Google search my channels.
Nope.
Tim Cass and Tim Cass News, not in Google.
So that's another reason why I'm like, you gotta change things up.
Now what they're straight up doing is, imagine you bought a building, and they said, you're going to be good, build your business here, all your customers come in, build up the area, and then they come in and just crush your building, destroy it outright, without warning, without breaking any contracts, you didn't break any rules.
adam crigler
So, like, you kind of touched on it a little bit earlier, do you think it's because YouTube is losing the ad revenue, so they're purging a lot of people to make the ads Worth more, so then they'll just make more money.
tim pool
I think it's a combination of factors.
YouTube and the media compete with each other to a certain degree, right?
CBS and Fox and CNN, they're all on YouTube.
They use it.
YouTube wants to attract high profile, high production quality shows.
They do like, so my main channel, it's like a browser window with my face in the corner.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
I can't imagine they like that.
Right.
Now this is different.
This is multi-camera lights, set design and everything.
So production quality has gone up.
Luke was doing, and I mean no disrespect, Luke had a lower production quality.
He had like, you know, a grainier camera, but he was doing similar things to what I was doing with your face in the corner.
That's why I'm saying, I don't know how long I am for this world.
Yeah.
This show I think they might like because it's like a live show with multiple cameras,
but we're still not like the Daily Show where you do everything pre-scripted and it's all
this fake stuff or whatever.
But I think that's an excuse.
They want to get higher quality content, which requires better paying ads.
They want Hollywood to come to YouTube and use them as a platform.
adam crigler
Yeah, they want to be Netflix.
tim pool
Right.
And they can't so long as they have people on YouTube screaming about the Illuminati and lizard people.
So I do think they like me.
The theory that I've had for a long time as to why I think YouTube tolerates me is that There's a certain amount of conservatives who do watch me, but I'm not overtly conservative.
So there are people like Steven Crowder, for instance, they take away his monetization.
They say, you say naughty words, boom, you can't make money.
For me, it's more moderate.
So they don't want to lose any of their users.
And if they start banning everyone on the right, they'll lose all their users.
And so we did a survey, and I think it was something like, you know, 17 to like 25% of the people who watch me identified as conservative.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
So I think what YouTube sees is, here's a guy who, if we ban the conservatives, they'll stay around to watch him, so we won't lose them.
So keep him around.
They don't like me.
They don't like what I say.
But it's safe for the brands.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
So that means that the conservatives who they think, you know, push the boundary, they don't like.
They can get rid of, and then hope that I might pick up some of these people who get left behind.
adam crigler
I guess that works both ways, too.
You're talking about one side, and the same goes for the other side, right?
tim pool
They don't care about the far left lunatics.
For the most part, they just ignore it.
So you actually have channels that have told people how to commit crimes and stuff.
adam crigler
And they don't care?
tim pool
They don't care.
Yeah, yeah, they don't care.
That's exactly how it goes.
I mean, you look at what happened with Trump on Twitter.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Joe Biden launched his campaign by mishmashing statements from Trump to lie.
It's called the Very Fine People hoax.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Right, so, yeah, I won't get into much detail, but anyway, Joe Biden makes ads where he takes one sentence, another sentence, mashes them together, and Twitter says it's fine.
Trump shows one clip of something Joe Biden actually said, but the rest of his sentence was cut, and they flag it as manipulated.
So then Joe Biden comes out with another video that mishmashes words from Trump to make sentences Trump never said.
Seriously, that's what he did.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Yeah, like he took a word from Trump, coronavirus, and then took hoax and mashed them together.
Trump never said it.
But now people believe he did.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
And Twitter refused to take it down or flag it.
So then the Trump campaign did the same thing to Biden, and they didn't do anything either.
But the one-directional nature of how this stuff works is very, very obvious.
I will add, it's no coincidence, in my opinion, that only a couple weeks after Ariel Scarcella comes out condemning the far left, they stripped her from the partner program.
adam crigler
Good point.
tim pool
Yep.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
It was almost immediately after she said that she was coming out as more conservative or something, or as leaving the left, I think she said it was.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Because they've gone nuts, then what happens a couple weeks later?
She's out.
adam crigler
But wouldn't that make her more in tune with your channel?
Because the conservatives are on the right.
She's saying she's leaving the left.
She's coming more towards the center.
So wouldn't that I mean, you know, it just doesn't make sense to me.
Like, why would she... Yeah, she would have been one of them safe video makers.
tim pool
Well, she does talk about adult stuff.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Like adult relationship things.
lydia smith
Indeed.
tim pool
So I think that was a line for them too.
adam crigler
Okay, I guess.
tim pool
And now she's starting to dance around on the leaving the left stuff, which the media has smeared relentlessly with lies.
And so I think there's like probably a risk assessment score or something maybe, where they're like, oh, add these factors together.
The problem with Luke is that Luke's got a longstanding history on YouTube.
So you go back to what's Luke supposed to do, delete 10 years of videos?
They could go back to 10 years and find every video he's ever done, find one of them they don't like and ban him for it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So that's a serious conversation people on YouTube have had is, do we just delete every video a week later?
And then upload that to an archive website for people to watch if they want to watch it.
adam crigler
I don't know.
unidentified
Maybe?
adam crigler
I feel like you're the expert here.
tim pool
I don't know.
You know, you look at Family Guy, and I question why it is that Family Guy has a character that is a Jewish stereotype that in every possible most demeaning way mocks him for being Jewish.
We just were watching, I think it was Family Guy.
And Stewie and Brian have a conversation about trans people.
And they ask, it was like really offensive.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
But that's fine on every platform.
It's fine on YouTube.
It's fine on Netflix and Hulu.
adam crigler
Like that scene?
tim pool
That scene, yeah.
It was Stewie and Brian sitting there questioning what trans people are like downstairs and a bunch of other really offensive things.
You see how I have to say these things on YouTube?
adam crigler
Right, I know.
tim pool
Yeah, the stream will get shut off.
People don't realize this.
There have been people who have been streaming, and I'll tell you what, it's not necessarily the same thing, but David Pakman, progressive YouTuber, I think it's fair to say he's progressive, liberal, He was streaming the debates and they disabled his stream because he was commenting on footage that was publicly available and broadcast.
It's happened to a ton of people.
Even C-SPAN has been flagged.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
So they're really trying to shut down non-mainstream content.
If you are a non-mainstream personality and you are commenting on, you know, the live Democrat debates, they will ban you outright.
They ban you from live streaming.
So we gotta be careful, but it's crazy that we live in this world where I have to abide by a two-week delay that YouTube, because of you, so let me restart over.
The Washington Post will say, hey, maybe this started in the lab.
YouTube says, don't you say it, don't you say it, not until the media says it, and I'm like, but the media just said it.
And they're like, and then two weeks later, someone at YouTube finally figures out they're saying it and says, okay, now you can say it.
Or Voldemort, the political guy whose name I can't say.
I was told by YouTube I would be allowed to say his name the moment it became in the public debate and said by politicians and by the media.
And it was said numerous times on Fox News, and it was said by a couple different politicians.
And then when I asked, I was like, okay, are we good now?
They said no.
They even deleted a video of a senator speaking on the Senate floor saying his name.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
That's how insane YouTube has gotten.
So anyway, I can wrap this one up because I think we've gone for a while with discussion.
I'll tell you this.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I would not be surprised if in the next six months, considering we're in election year, I don't know what'll happen, but I wouldn't be surprised if my channels are purged.
All of them.
Outright.
Even this one.
So who knows?
lydia smith
Wonderful.
tim pool
For now, everything seems to be going okay.
adam crigler
Yeah.
Thank you, everybody.
tim pool
No, but for real.
Appreciate you guys so much.
One of the reasons for wanting to do this show was, like, I work all day every day, and I'm seeing this happening, and I'm like, they've blacklisted my channels.
adam crigler
Yeah, already.
tim pool
They deny it.
I'm gonna make a new channel.
And we're gonna do something different.
You know, and we're gonna try and... It doesn't matter because when Tim Pool gets banned, all of Tim Pool is banned.
adam crigler
Let's start a new channel and bring on a soy kind of a... Soy bro.
Soy kind of a Jesus.
unidentified
Soy vibe.
tim pool
Soy chat.
Yeah.
lydia smith
Chat him.
adam crigler
And here I am.
unidentified
Yes, here he is.
tim pool
We'll see what happens.
You know, for now, it's scary to see them hitting, you know, Ariel and Luke.
They're both verified Twitter users.
lydia smith
They're both very different.
tim pool
Right.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
So how do you even figure out why they got removed?
lydia smith
There's no commonality, almost.
tim pool
No idea.
So, I don't know if I'm safe or not.
But I can say, even right now, I'm not even super worried.
Right now, I am.
But with ad revenue tanking because of COVID and all that stuff, I'm not even sure how much it matters.
You know, I've been doing the sponsor spots, and suffice it to say, that made up for a decent amount of the loss.
The sponsor spots I've done have covered the losses and done me a little bit better.
But if I didn't do them, I'd be down substantially.
So, for now, with the goal being to expand and survive, people don't understand how it works with a business.
They think that if you make good money, then you're good forever.
But look at all these big corporations that are like, we have one month of operating costs.
That's not good business.
adam crigler
No, it's not.
tim pool
We'll see what happens, everybody.

lydia smith
Yes.
tim pool
And then what's, should we talk about the rat apocalypse?
adam crigler
Yeah, it's fun.
tim pool

Drunk Shovel says, sacrificial worker here?
Like legit?
I work in a liquor store.
Aw man, but that's the most essential.
adam crigler
Is it?
tim pool
Listen, there's a reason why they say liquor is safe, even in a recession.
Because when people get desperate, it can be bad if people get drunk and aggressive, but it can be good if people are getting angry and have a nice drink and buzz out and chill out.
You know what I mean?
So maybe in that regard, you know, pot smoking is better.
I don't know.
Whatever calms people down as things get crazy.
adam crigler
Yeah, I guess you're right.

I think liquor can be important.

Probably ads.
adam crigler
Yeah.

Definitely ads.
adam crigler
I would think ads.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Because they're on every video.
tim pool
And the percentages are the same, but YouTube runs ads on channels that aren't in the partner program.
So when they kick you out, they still run ads, and then they keep all of the money.

Interesting recommendation.
Pro-China?
lydia smith
I read the comments under his video.
They're universally praising him and a lot of them are Chinese.
tim pool
They are Chinese?
lydia smith
Yeah, it is weird.
unidentified
I'll just show it to you.
tim pool
China.
Whatever.
Steven Biggs says, Planet Tear is what movie you were thinking of, and it was Robert Rodriguez who did the movie.
Quentin did Death Proof, double feature called Grindhouse.
Ah, there you go.
Was Rose McGowan in it?
Steven Askew, thanks for becoming a member.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
Mr. Oh, where are we at?
We just jumped.
lydia smith
Grindhouse was the one where she had a machine gun, like, just for the record.
tim pool
What was that, Rose McGowan?
lydia smith
Yeah, I think so.
tim pool
Oh, okay.
Mr. Hunt, first name Michael.
Cultural Marxism is dead.
Long live meritocracy.
Hopefully there's a long way to fight.
All right.
Bibi says, Tim, would it be useful for journalists to be provided OSINT support, distributed collab tech that implements embedded structured analytic critical thinking methods with rigorous versioning and knowledge curation for proof of due diligence?
Uh, I have no idea.
I don't know what the issue is with most journalists other than they're just gonna lie, so... However you solve for that problem, I don't know.
They made this a bit too technical for me.
Colin says, you guys should set up a DLive and BitChute accounts.
I do have BitChute, and it automatically archives all of my content there anyway, but... Very good, yeah.
Steven Eskew says, y'all gonna move to BitChute?
No, I'm already there.
LaSalle Rhyme says, good evening, keep up the good work.
Viperous says, Tim, it's a Gundam and ClownfishTV are the only reason I still use YouTube.
If they get rid of all of them, or all but Tim, I will delete my YouTube account and listen to the podcast on Spotify instead.
Interestingly, the amount of downloads I get on the podcast is like, I think, 1 200th less?
Some really, really, no, no, no, I think it's 1 40th less.
Yeah.
adam crigler
Then on the YouTube source?
tim pool
Yeah, so on YouTube I get around 40 plus million.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And then on iTunes it's like, I think, actually no, it's like 1 120th.
Yeah, it's like 400, 300 to 400 thousand.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Per month.
So it's substantially less.
Robert Perry says, Snopes be like, did Tim Poole spill gumbo on his shirt on Friday?
unidentified
False.
tim pool
He did not, on that day of the week, he bought the Zeppelin though.
Aaron says, hey Tim, you should get Manscaped to sponsor you.
We all know you keep a shiny bald hen to that beanie.
Easiest sponsor ever.
Oh, we'll see.
Andrew, oh, there we go.
Andrew says, hey Tim and Soy Jesus and Ghost Girl.
adam crigler
What up?
unidentified
Hey.
tim pool
To what deck and trucks do y'all recommend?
I'm new to skating and I have a cruiser deck but want to get something a bit more fun.
adam crigler
Ooh, fun?
Well, that's the thing with skating.
There's all sorts of different boards out there.
This is what I tell everyone.
Go to a skate shop, I mean, when they open again, I guess, and stand on all the different boards they got.
Like, let me try that one, let me try that one, let me try that one.
And then find the one that's comfortable.
That's really it.
If you're on a cruiser, you probably already have a certain kind of board, so try to go for something a little different and change it up, because it is different types of skating.
tim pool
Right on.
Frank Fuller says, I was supposed to leave for Mexico for a year, but had to postpone due to COVID.
Thank you for entertaining me.
You got it.
adam crigler
Word.
tim pool
Adam, thanks for the super chat.
Dave Overton says, Tim Pool, the Beanie Baron, thank you for all you do.
Stay safe.
Thank you very much.
Aaron says, Soy Jesus should make an OnlyFans account to support the channel.
adam crigler
What's OnlyFans?
I keep seeing that.
tim pool
Something that, oh, so like an account that OnlyFans can see, I guess?
lydia smith
Okay, I thought it was like an actual summer children.
Yeah, only fans is where all the girls are making their money these days.
tim pool
Oh, really?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
Oh.
tim pool
Oh, now I get it.
adam crigler
I don't know.
unidentified
I love you guys.
tim pool
All right.
Clever metaphor says, please put this money towards buying one more spinning object for the desk.
Thank you very much.
We'll figure it out.
lydia smith
Thanks, guys.
tim pool
Robo, thanks for becoming a member.
Zoot says, have you taken a look into the Earn It Act?
It aims to ban end-to-end encryption, it seems.
Yeah, we've heard people talk about it.
Azazel the Fallen says, we need a Tim Pool China supercut.
Well, you guys gotta do it.
Nicholas says, what commander do you play?
Also, I saw some weird thing about Dean Kuntz's book that predicted the whole pandemic.
Not sure, but it seems like something you would like to look into.
Yeah, it was similar, but it was because I think he mentioned Wuhan Biolab because there is one.
But I don't know.
lydia smith
Yeah, he did actually mention it in passing.
adam crigler
But my current commander that I really enjoy is Chulainn.
He's newer and really fun to play.
tim pool
Yeah.
I mean, I just have a bunch of different decks.
But I think my favorite interactions right now is Kykar.
adam crigler
Yeah, Kykar's nasty.
tim pool
So, David Leavitt, thanks for becoming a member.
And now on to the show.
The next horrifying nightmare scenario segment.
A plague of rats.
You see, it was, I think, last month, a video went viral showing a bunch of, what were they, like gibbons or something, or baboons?
lydia smith
Yeah, they were like medium-sized monkeys.
tim pool
Some kind of monkey in Thailand.
lydia smith
Churi-buri monkeys?
tim pool
Churi buri monkeys, and they were fighting in the streets brawling. Yeah, because normally the tourists throw food,
but now that there's no food Wars have emerged and monkey monkey gangs started fighting
each other mm-hmm like hundreds Yeah, like like just running. It's nuts, and there's other
videos, too I don't know if you ever seen it of baboons like someone
will throw a Snickers bar And then they'll just all stampede chasing after it. Hey.
Yeah, it's creepy stuff Now I guess you can reason with the monkeys yeah
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
They know not to attack you or bother you because they know that you'll bring food, so they leave you alone.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
tim pool
Rats, on the other hand, I don't think they're gonna care.
They're gonna get ravenous and hungry.
I mean, actually... I agree.
You know, but hold on.
I mean, I think a bunch of starving monkeys would be more terrifying than starving rats.
adam crigler
I also agree.
lydia smith
Yeah, seriously.
adam crigler
Because what do you think is going to happen when like... Well, the monkeys are strong, man.
Those monkeys could probably mess a person up and take their food.
If they're like, one person's just walking with a bag full of food and they're hungry and they smell it, it's like, they can definitely take someone out.
There was hundreds of them.
I don't know if you guys have seen these videos, but it's crazy.
tim pool
But hold on.
adam crigler
Let's look at this.
tim pool
Look at this.
adam crigler
So this is crazy, though.
tim pool
Rats have been taking to the streets in packs, sometimes in the daylight, emboldened by hunger.
What happens when you get a bunch of starving rats and they're all diseased and they start running after you like Your food.
Yep.
adam crigler
They can eat humans, right?
They can eat anything.
tim pool
I mean if there's like a hundred of them I would I would be afraid of a hundred rats coming at me Alright, let's see what they say.
The Hill reports.
As the country begins to buckle down for what experts are warning may be our hardest week of the coronavirus related deaths yet, one begins to wonder.
Where does all of our social isolating leave the urban dwelling animals who depend on our food garbage for sustenance?
Secondarily, and perhaps even more worrying, where will those survivalists turn to when their need for food becomes dire?
I do have to pause and mention pigeons.
Pigeons are a gift to mankind.
You know why?
Why is that?
Well, first, pigeons are garbage incarnate.
And so are rats, but pigeons are funnier because they fly.
You have a cheeseburger in New York City.
Not you, but a person.
And they take a bunch of bites and they throw it on the ground, the garbage.
And then little bits of food flop on the ground.
A pigeon comes and then eats your garbage.
The garbage is broken down in the pigeon's body and becomes an egg.
Another pigeon eats garbage and it breaks down to become, you know, And that's why they're the gift to humans?
adam crigler
I'm still waiting for it.
tim pool
So first, pigeons are literally made of refuse.
Listen, it is a biological function that converts the garbage you throw on the ground into a bird.
Because they eat the garbage and turn into a bird.
Where would all that garbage go if there weren't pigeons?
adam crigler
The rats would eat it.
tim pool
No, no, no.
I'm saying, so in, like, I remember thinking this, you know, 10, 15 years ago I was in Chicago and there was a gigantic pile of french fries.
I mean like an insanely huge pile.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Apparently a restaurant just dumped out a huge thing of french fries that, for some reason.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And there was like two, three hundred pigeons just, just tearing at it.
adam crigler
I heard it was someone with coronavirus coughed on it.
tim pool
This is 15 years ago.
And I'm like, what would we do with these french fries if not for these pigeons?
The pigeons cleaned up shop, man.
It was gone.
It's like an hour.
And I was like, whoa, the pigeons are our garbage come to life, cleaning up the garbage and then leaving.
Now they poop a lot.
I get it.
But the poop is isolated at certain locations typically.
And a lot of it's washed away.
So the garbage literally gets turned into birds and then leaves.
adam crigler
Well, the biodegradable garbage.
tim pool
Yeah, of course.
adam crigler
What about all the rest of it?
Looking at you, humans.
lydia smith
Yeah, come on.
adam crigler
And myself.
tim pool
I'm just talking about the food stuff.
Could you imagine if there were no pigeons?
There would be just like garbage and like food garbage all over the floor.
Like all over the ground everywhere.
You'd be like, oh, these, you know.
adam crigler
I actually, I was peeling an orange once.
I was like walking through a park and I was like peeling the orange and like tossing the orange off to the side because, I don't know, it feels like I'm not throwing trash on the ground when it's an orange peel, you know?
And this woman stopped me.
She was like, excuse me, excuse me!
There's a trash can right over there and she like pointed a trash can that was you know I could see it over there but I was I don't know it had me thinking like man am I am I littering what do you think like fruit an orange peel yeah no I mean maybe though imagine if like out in the in the country or maybe in the suburbs I don't think it's a big deal it was Central Park The problem is there's like millions who pass through Central Park every day.
That's true.
tim pool
And if everybody was doing it, it would get really bad.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
The animals couldn't pick it up.
adam crigler
Okay, yeah, I see that.
tim pool
So let's get back to the rats.
lydia smith
Okay.
tim pool
Because check this out, they're apparently on alert in New York.
Here's a quote.
They say, we spoke with Robert Corrigan, a rodentologist who specializes in urban rats and works with cities around the world.
To design programs for rodent management.
To find out.
Most New Yorkers have probably never heard of this type of job before, but it's his decision that affects their lives daily as he meets with agencies such as the MTA to help them mitigate the rat issue on the subway.
It's no small feat either, especially in cities such as New York, whose rat population has been estimated to reach around 2 million.
adam crigler
I mean, I would say every time I ever went in the subway, I saw a rat.
tim pool
Oh, totally.
adam crigler
Every single time I would see one.
tim pool
Yep, they did their thing.
Quote, this is actually the first virus outbreak where we've had to be on alert about rats.
And obviously the reason is that everybody is shut down.
The rats, especially in cities like New York, Boston and Washington, D.C. are heavily dependent
on us for their food.
There's no secret here that rats for the most part get their food directly from us.
It's all our garbage.
In general, rats like to stay close to their burrows, which are often at ground level in
apartment floorboards, alleyways, sidewalks or basements.
They're also nocturnal animals and survive by mastering their surroundings, trying to stick to familiar areas within a few hundred feet of their home.
Corrigan tells Changing America that when rats come out looking for restaurant garbage and scraps in the subway and there's none to be found for several days in a row, they switch into survival mode.
The result, he says, is that they will begin to show up during the day as well as the night, and in different areas than you'd normally find them due to stress.
The long-term impacts of a food shortage on urban rat populations can result in three possibilities, and each one is independent of the other.
Because of this, there's no generalization as to what the rats in New York City are going to do.
It's block by block, and it's actually colony by colony.
If this keeps going on, and the rats do not find dependable everyday sources of food, they will begin to implode on each other.
They'll go into high-stress mode, and they may begin fighting to the death.
And then they will begin to cannibalize each other for their protein.
The rodentologist says that he's already seen several cases while walking around the park.
Rats that have been completely eviscerated and consumed by the others.
What do you think people will do when the same thing happens?
Once the survivors realize there's no more food to be found in that area, they may also begin to disperse, traveling quite a distance of multiple miles in the matter of a couple days in their hurried search for sustenance.
They'll try to find another spot where they can get some kind of food, and if they don't find that, they're going to simply die.
But the third possibility is that they will start following their noses.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
adam crigler
This is where I was thinking.
tim pool
Cities like New Orleans, with its popular French Quarter typically swarmed with tourists, are now seeing swarms of another kind.
Emboldened by hunger, the city's rats have been taking to the now-deserted streets in large packs in search of a bite to eat.
Is this a video?
adam crigler
Oh, there's a video!
tim pool
We've got a video of this.
That looks like... Whoa, yeah, a bunch of rats.
Oh man, they're forming rat gangs.
adam crigler
Yep, rat gangs, man.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Yeah, I mean, all I see is, like, they're gonna find ways into people's places, apartments, you know?
New York buildings are not all new.
A lot of New York buildings are not in good shape compared to, like, the brand new stuff that's going out.
Like, they're gonna follow their nose and they're gonna find their way in.
tim pool
Well, he says, for now, take a look at how tight the infrastructure of your home is, whether that might be a single family house or large apartment building, and how smart you're being about food waste.
For apartment dwellers, he urges to not only check the premises yourself, but also check with your landlord to inquire about the structure of the space, especially if the building is located next to an alleyway or by a sewer.
He says the most vulnerable spots in your home are doors that may be eroding or don't fit snugly into their frame, allowing the space below for rats to gnaw holes, which will allow them to enter your space.
He says that they will go through any opening where they can get to the food they're smelling, and then they will simply try to create an infestation in somebody's home.
Dude, it's gonna happen.
There's gonna be a story.
Rats are gonna break into somebody's house.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
They're gonna freak out and flee.
adam crigler
And take over their house.
tim pool
Yep.
He says, I encourage everyone to look around.
Check if there are any kind of stray trash cans, dumpster bags, or anything that's going to attract rats and eliminate them.
The next thing is very important.
Rats are very smart and capable animals, and when they get desperate, I tell people to check their doors.
You want to make sure your doors are fitting all the way to the threshold, and there's no gap where they're going to allow a rodent in the house.
One of the scariest possibilities to consider when it comes to rats invading your building may not be what comes to mind, them cutting off your access to television.
Rats gnaw on cables, and in fact, it's been estimated that a whopping 26% of electrical cable breaks and 25% of fires of unknown origin in New York City are caused by rats.
adam crigler
That makes sense.
tim pool
It's just one of the reasons why you want to be as smart as possible when it comes to keeping the rodents out of your home.
Along with the fact they're pretty darn hard to kill, they reproduce at a tremendous rate, mating up to 20 times in 6 hours and producing 4-7 litters of 10 rats each year.
Beyond that, they're neophobic, meaning that those traps you set and that poison you laid out probably won't work very well.
Corgan says that if you do happen to catch a glimpse of a rat in your home, especially if there are children present, it is certainly no DIY job.
Call your local exterminator as soon as you can.
We're all going to get through this, and hopefully over time, who knows?
Maybe they'll teach us a lesson to better dispose of our trash and keep our buildings tighter.
You know what I see from this?
unidentified
What?
tim pool
We're not going back to normal.
adam crigler
No way.
Thank goodness, though.
tim pool
Right, for this, for sure.
adam crigler
Well, yeah, there's a lot that needs to be... You know, our overconsumption is crazy.
tim pool
Well, no, I think that'll come back for sure.
adam crigler
I hope not, though.
tim pool
I think people are gonna be... You get a couple stories about rats raiding somebody's house, and they're gonna take their trash and recycling much more seriously.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And that's a good thing, right?
Not rats in people's homes, but, you know, people cleaning up and doing a better job.
People aren't gonna shake hands anymore.
adam crigler
Yep.
lydia smith
I think that's good.
tim pool
Well, I guess, you know, maybe we'll bow or something.
adam crigler
Or live long and prosper.
lydia smith
Yeah, man.
tim pool
Yeah.
Just do the Spock thing.
adam crigler
Yeah, why not?
Everyone knows what it means.
tim pool
Now, they're talking about rats.
What about pigeons?
adam crigler
Like, we joked about pigeons, but... You said it, though.
They can fly.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
So they can fly to eat bugs in fields, fly... They probably will migrate away from cities.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
And then migrate back when the whole machine gets kicked up again.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
I mean, for that matter, what about all of the animals, you know, sparrows, cats?
Maybe the answer to the problem is just to unleash all of the shelter cats into New York City.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
I thought, I heard, I heard from somewhere that all the shelters were empty for like the first time in like 30 years or something in New York.
tim pool
Cause everyone's adopting the cats.
adam crigler
It's like, wow.
And dogs.
lydia smith
That's kind of cool.
adam crigler
I don't know if it was for cats.
I know it was a dog shelter that I was reading it about.
tim pool
The joke from the Simpsons was that they had the pigeon eating lizards.
So they were like, we'll release snakes, then we'll release weasels, then we'll release dogs, then we'll release gorillas.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
And they're like, but then, you know, they're like, what do you, how do you get rid of the gorillas?
And Skinner is like, I don't, I don't know what I said.
I think it was Skinner.
He's like, that's the best part.
When winter comes, they simply freeze to death.
Like they keep bringing in more animals to get rid of the old ones.
lydia smith
Well, yeah, that's a bad idea.
tim pool
It's kind of crazy that, uh, humans have brought with them everywhere they go.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's true.
tim pool
It's like, you couldn't get rid of the rats before they got in your boat?
And you brought them on the boat?
lydia smith
Dude, they intentionally brought rabbits to Australia.
They had no natural predators there.
tim pool
Really?
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
And the rabbits just went nuts?
lydia smith
Yeah, they went crazy.
tim pool
I don't know about that.
Australia's like... They had to build a rabbit fence.
...the last level of Earth.
lydia smith
I know, it's true.
tim pool
You know what I mean?
Like the most difficulty, the highest difficulty setting for the planet.
lydia smith
You'd think there would be tons of predators, but rabbit fence, man.
tim pool
Weird ones.
What didn't someone like bring like frogs there or something?
adam crigler
Didn't that happen to some island down in the South Pacific?
There was like a snake that ate every little thing.
So then now spiders have nothing that eats them.
So now spiders are like taking over the trees.
So there's places that- Oh yeah, the webs are all crazy.
The webs are so massive because there's just these snakes and the spiders and that's it.
The spiders eat all the little insects, the snakes eat all the rodents and rabbits and everything.
tim pool
I imagine that there's an elephant somewhere talking to his elephant friends and he's like, have you seen these places where humans are out of control?
It's like they take the rocks and stack them up.
It's crazy.
There's rocks Everywhere!
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
It's like we're talking about the webs of spiders because they grow out of control.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
You know what, man?
I would not want to be in a city right now.
Because we... Me neither.
So we live in the suburbs, and there's no just like street refuse, so... Sure, we have turkey problems.
lydia smith
We saw two yesterday.
tim pool
We have turkeys.
adam crigler
Whoa, whoa.
Problem is a loose term.
We saw some wild turkeys yesterday.
lydia smith
So we only saw two yesterday, though.
So if we get like 50...
tim pool
No, but one day there was like 16 or 17.
adam crigler
Oh, really?
Yeah.
unidentified
Cool.
tim pool
Yeah, like last month.
adam crigler
Is that a gaggle?
tim pool
Rafter.
lydia smith
It's a rafter.
adam crigler
Oh, is that what it is?
A rafter?
tim pool
A rafter.
lydia smith
That's cool.
I remember we looked it up.
tim pool
And they're like, but like, it's like, it's like a truce here.
You know, like everyone's in agreement.
You leave the turkeys alone, let them do their thing.
adam crigler
Yeah, don't mess with the turkeys.
tim pool
But I'll tell you what, man, when the apocalypse comes, those turkeys are gonna be food.
adam crigler
Those turkeys are gone.
tim pool
They're not rats.
adam crigler
They're birds.
I'm leaving my vegan at the door, too.
tim pool
Do they lay eggs?
lydia smith
Yeah, they do.
tim pool
Like chickens?
lydia smith
They do, yeah.
tim pool
You just catch them.
lydia smith
Keep them?
tim pool
You put them in a pen, and you go.
You get fresh eggs.
I think it's really dumb.
They don't allow you to have livestock in certain areas.
So, like, we can't have chickens here.
I want some fresh eggs, you know?
I'm seeing on Twitter, people are making fresh bread.
adam crigler
I just walked down the street, there's goats.
unidentified
What?
adam crigler
There's goats like four blocks from here.
tim pool
We got room for goats.
adam crigler
I just saw goats.
tim pool
We could get goats.
adam crigler
I don't want goats.
tim pool
Oh, that's right, they scream.
adam crigler
My gosh, they're loud.
tim pool
Yeah, we used to live next to some goats and they would yell every morning.
adam crigler
It wasn't some, it was like a straight up farm that we lived next to.
lydia smith
Did they smell?
adam crigler
They were loud.
No, they didn't smell so much, but loud.
lydia smith
Yeah, oh man.
adam crigler
I'm not about to try to do a goat impression.
tim pool
Maybe we're missing something here.
adam crigler
What are we missing?
tim pool
Maybe we can harness the rat power.
adam crigler
Go on.
tim pool
Well, I mean, the rats are energy of some sort.
They move around.
lydia smith
Diseased energy.
tim pool
I know, but like, you know, can we put them on little treadmills or like...
What are they going to eat, though?
I just watched a video about eating crickets.
lydia smith
Yeah, we did.
tim pool
They make cricket flour.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
They grow sustainable crickets, they feed them healthy things, and they mill them into a fine powder.
And apparently it tastes like nuts.
adam crigler
Sounds terrible.
tim pool
It tastes like a nut flour, right?
adam crigler
It does sound terrible.
Imagine being milled into a flour.
lydia smith
That sounds awful.
tim pool
I'll grind your bones to make my bread.
lydia smith
Yeah, that sounds not nice.
adam crigler
The Soylent Green!
tim pool
Yeah, the cricket green.
I mean, everybody in the world eats bugs.
lydia smith
Eighty percent, yeah.
tim pool
So I actually tried to buy some, and Amazon sold out.
lydia smith
What the hell?
tim pool
Yeah, it was weird.
It was, like, unavailable, and I wonder if, like, survivalists bought all the cricket flour.
I'm like, regular flour still exists, guys.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
But it's high in protein.
It's got, like, I think, like, triple the protein of regular flour.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
Dang.
lydia smith
Super high.
tim pool
Yeah, and you can use it for baking and everything.
Yeah, it's weird.
I went to Amazon and it was gone.
So, you know, I don't know.
lydia smith
Sad.
tim pool
But the point is, I mean, we're not big bug eaters, but apparently you can mill crickets into flour.
unidentified
Who knew?
tim pool
We got all these rats running around.
If we do nothing, they're going to invade people's homes.
lydia smith
What should we do?
tim pool
I mean, do you just exterminate them?
And then just... What do you do with the bodies?
unidentified
Why don't you cook them up?
adam crigler
Soylent rat?
Yeah, what?
tim pool
I mean, if you cooked a rat, would it get rid of the diseases and the parasites?
adam crigler
Yeah, wouldn't it?
lydia smith
Probably not the parasites.
Well, pork has parasites in it.
They just advise you to cook it for a really long time.
tim pool
Gross.
Here's a funny thing.
Here's a funny thing.
I have no problem eating bugs.
I wouldn't eat a rat.
Like a New York rat, I wouldn't eat it.
adam crigler
What would you eat, like, a farm-raised free-range rat?
tim pool
Yeah, I guess.
Yeah, probably.
That's fair.
I wouldn't eat a cricket off the ground in New York.
You know what I mean?
If, like, someone grew farm crickets and they're, like, chocolate-covered or, like, roasted or something, you know, that's, like, a normal thing.
You don't want to eat dirty things.
That's the thing.
lydia smith
Right.
That's the problem with New York rats.
tim pool
But I think the problem with rodents is that they don't have enough fat in them, and so it's actually... You know what rabbit starvation is?
adam crigler
It's too gamey.
tim pool
You know what rabbit starvation is?
adam crigler
No.
tim pool
So, like in Venezuela, I think it was Venezuela, they said, just start eating your pets or eating your rabbits.
adam crigler
You can't do that.
tim pool
But rats are too lean.
I'm sorry, rabbits are too lean.
So if you only eat rabbits, you don't get enough fat in your diet and you can actually starve to death because you can't do it.
lydia smith
Yeah, so too much protein will mess with your kidneys.
tim pool
Oh, interesting.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
Yeah, everyone's talking.
Someone brought up the hantavirus, which is literally from getting it from rats.
tim pool
Yeah, don't eat rats, everybody.
lydia smith
We have a virus that was caused by a bat, so I don't think we should probably be eating any rats.
tim pool
No, but I do think Americans, for the most part, have a bias towards what they eat.
adam crigler
Definitely.
tim pool
Yeah, it makes sense.
We were talking about this before, like fear factor.
I would watch Fear Factor and they're like, you have to eat the intestines of a pig, and I'd be like, so food.
adam crigler
I'd be out.
tim pool
So food, you want me to eat food?
I'll eat the food, I got no problem eating it.
Yeah.
adam crigler
And the whole thing is like, eating animals in general, I guess we're kind of bringing it into that subject, but it's like, as a society, we are okay with eating certain animals, and in others, we're totally not.
So in some places, cows are sacred.
You don't eat cows.
You eat cows, you're disgusting.
But we're like, oh, well, it's a cow, like whatever, it's a burger, you know, but then
when someone, same with dogs and cats, they're animals.
tim pool
Yep.
adam crigler
But some people, some countries eat them.
tim pool
And they view it no different like eating a chicken.
adam crigler
I know.
And then the people freak out and it's like, don't you eat meat?
You eat meat, don't you?
Why are you freaking out?
Because they eat what you consider a pet?
It is a weird situation.
tim pool
I don't like the idea of eating dogs because I think dogs are man's best friend.
But what am I going to impose my will upon an entire nation?
I disagree with it.
adam crigler
Well, the Tiger King, his best friend was a cat.
tim pool
I don't think we should eat tigers either.
lydia smith
Well, no.
tim pool
And to that extent, you know, it's true.
It's a cultural thing.
Like, I think of, like, deer.
adam crigler
It's a cultural thing.
tim pool
And things you hunt.
adam crigler
Exactly.
tim pool
Things that are available to us, were acceptable.
But you know what the bigger issue is?
America, in general, has just drifted towards a primarily meat-based diet.
adam crigler
And dairy.
tim pool
Right.
So we disagree, to a certain degree, on dietary stuff.
I don't think from a libertarian point of view, I think from a personal health choice point of view.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But I think we both agree that Americans overconsume.
adam crigler
Absolutely.
tim pool
You think more so than I do.
I think, you know, a portion of your diet should be meat and it should mostly be like leafy greens and fresh vegetables.
adam crigler
Whoa, whoa.
I think that everybody needs to do research on what their own body needs.
tim pool
That's a better point.
adam crigler
That's what I always say.
I am vegan for myself.
I'm not vegan for you.
I'm doing it for me.
I feel better.
I live in a world that I can do this very easily.
I don't have to eat meat.
I'm not eating.
The bigger issue is... But do your own research and eat whatever you feel healthy eating.
I'm cool with it.
If you want to go hunt some food, more power to you.
tim pool
We were watching an old episode of Penn & Teller's BS.
It was one guy who was morbidly obese and he was getting sleeping pills because he didn't understand why he couldn't sleep.
And it's like, dude, you don't need sleeping pills.
Americans go to the store and they're like, what should I eat today?
I know, a double cheeseburger with bacon and a large fry.
adam crigler
And also a super large sugar soda.
tim pool
Yeah, sugar water.
But you know what's interesting is millennials have stopped drinking soda.
adam crigler
Awesome.
tim pool
Yeah, they're drinking mostly water now.
adam crigler
Sparkling water.
tim pool
Soda companies are not happy.
adam crigler
It's true.
I haven't had a soda in a long time.
I really like that.
Someone had a rum and coke here earlier, so there was some coke in the house.
And I was like, oh, I'll have a coke.
I was like, this is so sweet.
It's all I can think of.
I was like, man.
I had to go drink some water.
lydia smith
Yeah, man.
tim pool
Well, we certainly deviated from the rat apocalypse into fresh diets, but we'll stop it there.
Yeah, yeah.
adam crigler
That's the next subject, isn't it?
tim pool
Well, no, we're going to Super Chats.
Oh, wow.
lydia smith
We'll save it for tomorrow.
adam crigler
Fast two hours.
tim pool
We'll save it for tomorrow.
adam crigler

We got a few more minutes here.
Let's try and figure out where we are.
Let's see.
It's always a difficult time trying to figure out where the Super Chats left us off.
adam crigler
I'm just going to take this time to read some comments.
tim pool
Yeah, do it.
adam crigler
No, no, I'm not going to actually read them out loud.
unidentified
Oh, OK.
tim pool
I found it.
I found it.
adam crigler
You guys are crazy in the comments.
lydia smith
I love the comment section.
tim pool
All right, here we go.
Robert Perry says, am I here?
You in fact are.
adam crigler
Congratulations, you made it here.
tim pool
Is that a catchphrase?

snow come see them I they're beautiful I love them Stephen says sell me a beanie with your catchphrase spare
me you see there's always a new one is that a spare me I say it sometimes but
I think you know I think the issue is it comes and goes no it's that I cover a
few different subjects within a similar realm mm-hmm
And so if someone's really into, say, like, cultural critique, they're going to watch my cultural critique videos.
And so I'll probably say similar things.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
People are into politics, they're going to hear, you know, different things.
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
Scott Young says, here's a super chat just for the sweet summer child quip.
It got a real laugh out of me.
Yeah, that went right over our heads.
lydia smith
I'm so glad you guys are the best.
tim pool
That's what I'm talking about!
Just sat, I can't, I'm sorry I don't know what this is.
Jen Parsons, thanks for joining.
Paxton Fairbanks says, starving rats are scarier because they're a smaller target
to hit.
We also have historical accounts of rats swarming animals and people like piranhas and stripping them down
to the bone.
In fact, it was used as a torture method.
adam crigler
That's what I'm talking about.
I would be afraid if I saw hundreds of rats coming at me.
Yeah with like red in their eyes like hungry rats.
Who wouldn't be afraid?
tim pool
I would be like I'm going that way Bye rats Justin O'Toole says in the UK people now get fined for sitting alone on public benches.

Wow.
adam crigler
That's so silly.

Chad Hurst says that Nathan Rich guy has a smaller YouTube following but is PewDiePie sized on Chinese channels.
Interesting.
I don't know why he cares about me.
I've made like five videos about China.
lydia smith
You should feel special.
tim pool
He's got an issue with my complaint about Democrats, I guess.
I don't know if it's a diversion, but I think we're definitely dancing too close to war and it's getting scary.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's true.
tim pool
For sure.
adam crigler
Yeah, that episode last Friday got in my head over the weekend.
tim pool

lydia smith
Oh my gosh.
tim pool
No way.
That's crazy.
adam crigler
Interesting.
tim pool
I saw a video of a kangaroo, like, wandering into a party and people were laughing.
Like, they didn't care.
adam crigler
Dude, they're dangerous.
They can knock you out.
tim pool
Yeah, bro.
They're huge.
adam crigler
They're so strong.
tim pool
And they're ripped.
Do you see them?

Yeah.
adam crigler
They're ripped.
I wouldn't mess with a kangaroo.

Duck says, all these rats.

I don't... We'll see.
tim pool
TheorFander says, have you heard of the YouTube channel called China Uncensored?
They just did a joint cast with ADV China, and in the comments, viewers said that want
to see your show do the same.
Would you?
Um, I don't know.
I don't, we'll see.
I mean, we're locked down, so I don't know if we're doing any collabs or anything.
Natural Advice says, is the food supply chain breakdown coming?
I don't know.
lydia smith
I think so.
tim pool
You think so?
adam crigler
I hope not.
No, I don't know.
I think certain items, yes.
But as a whole, no.
tim pool
I think it's time to start eating crickets.
adam crigler
Like there's, I saw videos of dairy farmers, because certain production lines are cut off, they have to keep milking or else their cows will stop producing milk.
So they are just dumping milk every single day.
And I'm sure that's going to happen across certain things.
You know, not all food products will stop, but a lot will probably stop.
tim pool
Did you know that crickets are crustaceans?
unidentified
No.
lydia smith
I learned that today.
tim pool
Yeah, I learned that today when I was reading about the cricket flower.
It said that they're more similar to, like, a lobster or a crab than, you know, like a spider or something.
lydia smith
That's why they're so crunchy.
tim pool
Yeah.
Joe Black says, the Rat King has returned.
Mad Todd, thanks for joining and becoming a member.

Henry Baumeister, the skaven are coming.
Matt Todd says, hey Tim, thank you for keeping me and my wife against your will up to date with the goings-on of the world.
Keep on keeping on.
Will do.
Stephen Askew says Tim is thinking of cane toads.
Oh, is that the Australia thing, I think?
adam crigler
Maybe, yeah.
tim pool
David says, you say turkey problem, I say Thanksgiving boogaloo.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Well, I meant problem as a joke, because I actually like seeing the turkeys mill about, do their turkey business.
unidentified
They're cute, yeah.
adam crigler
They're pretty cool looking, yeah.
lydia smith
Do their thing.
tim pool
John McGuire says, before you get livestock, shovel manure in July, then decide.
In the meantime, stick to taters.
Well, what about chickens?
The only issue we had with the chickens last time was that they destroyed the grass.
lydia smith
They do, yeah.
tim pool
They tear the grass up and they eat it.
lydia smith
They really do.
tim pool
I didn't know they ate grass, you know?
And we learned that.
lydia smith
They're omnivorous, apparently.

Michael Gale says, I used just one bite one time for rats eating my catfish food.
A week later, the smell was horrible in my shed.
Two weeks later, found dead snake.

Political Pothead says, Staten Island has wild turkeys.
We have deer, too.
Oh, cool.
Joe Black says, Tim cast for President 2020 way too early.
I am not old enough.
Captain Sugar says, LOL Tim is going to create the rat matrix.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Okay.
Where are we going?
We just jumped in the super chat.
Cause there we are.
A fuzzy creature says, I keep the theory that we test mice and rats so much.
We should build the perfect rat soldier.
It's a pet theory.
I like keeping around squeak.
adam crigler
All I can think of is Pickle Rick.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Perfect rat soldier.
tim pool
Scarlock says, Tim, the last time someone introduced strange new food items to a population, we got the coronavirus.
Let's just not introduce exotic new foods in the population for the hell of it, okay?
All right.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Jacob Estrada says, I was a missionary in Chiapas.
We ate everything.
A delicacy down there was possum.
We also ate giant ants, crickets, and other crazy stuff.
Waste not, want not.
Adam, dogs are our oldest ally.
They are.
unidentified
True.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Courtney says, Hey Tim, love you and your crew's show.
Been watching you for a while.
There's a company called Exoprotein that uses it in protein bars and I got some of the whole roasted crickets.
They're tasty.
I heard they're like nutty.
adam crigler
Hold on, let me just respond to that dog comment.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
I don't condone anyone eating meat at all.
I'm a vegan.
lydia smith
Yeah, man.
adam crigler
We don't need it, or at least I believe it.
So it's like, I'm not trying to pressure anyone, but like, I don't want anyone to eat any animal, especially dogs.
I love dogs.
Dogs are great.
tim pool
I mean, cows are great.
adam crigler
It's interesting that that person chose dogs and not cats, because I said dogs and cats.
tim pool
Well, cats are evil.
adam crigler
Are they?
tim pool
I'm kidding.
We have a cat.
He's awesome.
adam crigler
He's an awesome cat.
tim pool
Here we go.
Doug Andrews says, seagulls are the pigeons of the Midwest.
I mean, we got pigeons in the Midwest, but yes, seagulls are, you know.
Joseph Metzler says, Roadkill is way down.
Animals are starting to move into cities at night.
Rodents are becoming an issue for the electrical grid.
Getting calls because of the urine damage.
My experience as a hazmat worker.

Whoa.
Yeah, that's true.
tim pool
Jason Solo.
adam crigler
Could be a problem.
tim pool
I'm sorry, Jason.
You've been retconned.
I don't believe you exist anymore.
unidentified
Oh.
tim pool
Tim, they boil and skin the dogs alive in China.
Many of them kidnapped pets.
They do this because they believe the more the dog suffers, the better it will taste.
They kill 10,000 dogs during Yulin.
Yikes.
adam crigler
It's true.
unidentified
It's messed up.
tim pool
I've seen the horrible videos.
adam crigler
It's so messed up what they do.
unidentified
Let me see that.
tim pool
I have heard him say that.
Shapiro often points out that as time progresses, alternative food sources will make people
of the future view us in the past as morally inferior for consuming animals.
I've had my own reservations about meat consumption and try to in the very least ensure it's humane.
I completely agree.
lydia smith
I have heard him say that.
Very smart take.
tim pool
Yeah.
Elfo says, did you see the story of an infant in Connecticut allegedly smothered by their
caretaker being declared a COVID death?
I did not.
Hell says, it's rather impressive that soda managed to position itself as a regular drink instead of a dessert.
Yeah, for real, with all the sugar in it.
Charles says, rat is greasy and tastes like duck.
Oh, really?
Well, now you know.
adam crigler
Gamey.
That's what I figured.
unidentified
Right on.
Hmm.
tim pool
Does it filter, though?
Well, it's minimal masks.
So it's just for keeping... For spray.
Right, right.
Jack says, I've created a tight-fitting paper mask using common printer paper, video and
channel.
Considering there is national shortage of masks, using paper can be beneficial due to
its abundance.
Right on.
adam crigler
Hmm.
Does it filter though?
tim pool
Well, it's, it's, it's, it's minimal masks.
So it's just for keeping...
For spray.
So, right, right.
Right, okay.
So it slightly reduces, it's not, it's not as effective as an N95 or with like a full

Yeah.
adam crigler
We did.

Dale Mountain says I'd pay for a course on doing local journalism.
I've been thinking about setting something up, but work, work, work.
Angry Bellsprout says, you have mentioned war with China in recent videos, but continue
to ignore China's military allies.
Need to look into Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
We did, we talked about it, but not as informed as we probably could have been.
Mokomo.
Oh, no, no, it says Mokomothman.
People in the state of Iowa are divided whether we should shut down.
Iowa alone is 1 11th of our food production, is home to 31 of 100 food manufacturing facilities.
Shutting down would be a bad idea.
Whoa, yikes.
Prison Wallet Thief says, Hey Tim, the reason we can't stand by while Nathan Rich uses China's fake number is calling you a conspiracy theorist, impugning your honor, since you are the only journalist that tells the truth.
Eh, well, I'm gonna mind my business.
And, you know, people rag on me all the time.
I don't know what else I can do about it.
You guys can refute them.
CND says, Thank you for everything you do.
Dale Mountain says, Interested in local journalism.
No idea how to.
Any advice?
A how-to course might be a product in demand.
Thinking about just calling local PDs.
Yeah, it's, it's, it's... I don't know, man.
I don't know if I'm the best for local journalism advice.
I went around filming documentary stuff.
Thanks for coming to Member.
Thank you.
Sue Wassily Tour.
Matthew Ammon says, cats are not good for killing rats.
Use dogs and mink.
Yeah, rat terriers.
Cats play with them and let them live sometimes.
People don't understand that.
That's not what cats do.
adam crigler
Yeah, rat terriers are... And they're faster.
Dude, they go at them.
I've seen some videos.
They're crazy.

And they're happy.
They're all happy when they're like, look what I did!

Mean Sartin says, of course, Me Too was a scam.
You never see a picture of the lady who started it.
Well, I mean, Alyssa Milano started the hashtag.

Check it out.

You don't have to, and you're allowed to actually hate me.

Yes.
Sean El Bucholoco says, cows are despicable liars who deserve to be eaten.
Why do you think we call lies BS?
Ah, that's a good point.
I'm going to leave you with one final thought.
adam crigler
Please do.
tim pool
Humans, the apex predator of the planet.
We've dominated the earth.
adam crigler
We are the apex.
tim pool
We've traveled to the moon.
We control land, sea, air.
We are the cream of the crop, the best of the best.
But you know who's number two on earth?
Cows.
You know why?
adam crigler
I would have said ants.
tim pool
Cow.
adam crigler
Would have been my guess.
tim pool
See, here's the thing.
The one way to ensure your survival is either to be the best, Or, you definitely don't wanna be competition for the best.
Be the main food source for the best.
And then you will never cease, your species will always survive.
Cows have done that, congratulations.
I'm joking by the way, but we're gonna wrap up there.
Make sure to follow us, hit the like button, subscribe, notification bell, share the videos if you like them.
We probably should shout out the sharing more because, as I mentioned, we just did a whole segment on YouTube purging everybody.

Activists just started making stuff up and the advertisers got scared because of the controversy and bowed out.
