Speaker Time Text
unidentified
I have returned!
tim pool
Lydia and I are back from our ridiculous trip across the country, because I went on the Joe Rogan podcast, in case you didn't know, and we've also upgraded the studio quite a bit.
But for those who are not familiar, my name is Tim Poole, this is the TimCast IRL Podcast, and joining me, as always, are my good friends, What's up, everybody?
lydia smith
Oh, I can't go over there.
adam crigler
Oh, what?
No camera?
No!
tim pool
You can't see me!
adam crigler
Well, I'm here.
unidentified
Don't worry.
lydia smith
He's here.
adam crigler
There we go.
Hey, what's up, everybody?
tim pool
I changed the names.
I think that's going to affect it.
adam crigler
Well, we're going to have some kinks because we just moved studios.
We just rebuilt basically the other studio to this new spot, which you really actually can't see.
It kind of looks the same, but it's much different.
It's much bigger in here.
It's great.
tim pool
Should we jump to the...
adam crigler
Yeah, show them the jam spot.
We got an official jam session section.
Casting couch.
lydia smith
Casting couch.
tim pool
It's not a casting couch.
No, no.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's the jam spot.
So just in case we need to jam after the show, we can now do it with ease and have a spot.
It's pretty great.
lydia smith
Yeah, man.
adam crigler
Yeah.
But good to have you guys.
Thanks for everyone who stuck with me on Atomcast IRL while they were gone.
tim pool
You might have to use the other monitor and the mouse for switching this time.
lydia smith
Okay.
adam crigler
For now.
lydia smith
We'll see what happens.
tim pool
But for the most part it should work.
adam crigler
Well, you know, we can just keep it on me.
I don't mind.
lydia smith
Check this out.
tim pool
This is a new space.
adam crigler
Oh, thank you.
tim pool
The room is substantially larger.
adam crigler
Magic tea.
tim pool
Yeah, the room is much larger and I like this.
adam crigler
I like this.
Yeah, this is good.
lydia smith
It's like cozy.
I really like that corner.
adam crigler
Yeah, I like it.
tim pool
So some of you may have heard that Kim Jong-un is back.
adam crigler
Yeah.
Well, I don't know if it's, you know, for certain yet.
tim pool
CNN said he's back.
adam crigler
Someone looking like him is back.
tim pool
CNN says he's back.
Therefore, he's back.
adam crigler
Oh, if CNN says it.
tim pool
Thanks for hanging out, everybody.
We'll see you all tomorrow.
adam crigler
And that's the show.
tim pool
So there's actually a conspiracy theory that Kim Jong-un is a body double.
He's not actually back.
And there's actually some like, I don't know what to call her.
adam crigler
There's evidence.
tim pool
I should press record.
unidentified
See, I've been gone for two weeks!
adam crigler
Where's the reminder in chat?
Can we get another F in chat for that?
Let's do it.
tim pool
So we reset up all the studio and then I just started renaming scenes and apparently our quick switch stream deck is not working and stuff.
You know what, man?
Hey, give me a break.
Just drove across the country.
Had to, you know, educate Mr. Rogan on some very important facts.
adam crigler
Sure.
tim pool
No, that was fun.
I'm glad he had me.
adam crigler
Yeah, I saw the show.
It was good.
tim pool
Yeah, we drove.
Yeah, I switched it, so it made it work.
Oh, nice.
adam crigler
It works.
Great.
tim pool
For the most part, yeah.
I think everything we need to work should work.
But anyway, we're going to talk about Kim Jong-un, because apparently after he comes back, they started firing on South Korea.
adam crigler
Yeah, I don't know anything about that.
tim pool
We got murder hornets!
adam crigler
Murder hornets are Asian murder hornets.
tim pool
Ah, yes.
lydia smith
Because CNN said so.
tim pool
It was CNN who said so.
adam crigler
Yeah, they're Asian.
tim pool
And then what else?
Oh yeah, thousands of people in New York are defying the lockdown orders.
adam crigler
Not surprising.
tim pool
And I'm surprised.
Where are all the articles about all the racist Trump supporters?
Oh, what's that?
New York isn't MAGA country?
lydia smith
No, is it not?
tim pool
It's like you get 50 people to show up protesting, being like, the economy should be reopened.
And they're like, what a bunch of morons!
And then like 3,000 people are hanging out in the park, all sitting around, and the cops are scratching their head.
adam crigler
No, no, no.
They're not scratching their head.
They're ignoring those people and arresting minorities.
tim pool
Jewish people.
I know!
adam crigler
Jewish people and black people, they're going nuts, man.
tim pool
This is hilarious.
adam crigler
What is going on in New York?
unidentified
I don't get it.
tim pool
Dude, listen.
adam crigler
The media is right now- But the white people can hang out in the parks.
tim pool
No, no, they're attacking all these Trump supporters like, it's an astroturfed protest.
Why are they even protesting anyway, morons?
They just want haircuts.
Meanwhile, you have thousands of upper class Manhattanite white people chilling in the park.
Then what do we get?
There's a video going viral of a cop walking up to a black dude and just clocking him in the face.
adam crigler
Yeah, what is up with that?
tim pool
And then you have the Jewish community where they're actually sending tactical police to funerals where they're chasing after hearses.
New York is like a despotism nightmare-ish.
It's crazy there.
It's funny because Bill de Blasio claims to be this progressive dude.
He's out walking around doing whatever he wants and then literally going to the Jewish neighborhood and chasing down hearses and arresting people at funerals.
Meanwhile, they did issue summonses To about 50 or so people in the park.
Oh, alright.
My issue wasn't even about the hypocrisy in New York.
adam crigler
But they didn't clock anyone in the face though, did they?
tim pool
Nope.
adam crigler
Here, you gotta go to the court eventually.
Here's a summons.
My thing's always the media.
tim pool
That's all they get.
Where's the media to be like, look at these people!
adam crigler
No, did you see the article that there was a police officer in, like, Battery Park or some rich area handing people masks that didn't have masks?
Oh, you don't have a mask.
Here you go.
tim pool
What a good cop.
adam crigler
Oh, great.
Nice.
tim pool
Let me help you.
adam crigler
What?
Yeah, that's how it should be.
Oh, you don't have a mask?
Do you need one?
Do you know where to get one?
No?
Oh, maybe you should go home.
Okay, thanks.
tim pool
Well, apparently, a lot of people said okay when the cops were like, hey, you know, move.
They'd be like, okay, but then like 50 people were like, F you, and they gave them a ticket or something.
adam crigler
Okay, that makes sense.
tim pool
My issue is, of all the people who are protesting, there are substantially more people in New York and LA just doing their thing and ignoring the law.
I shouldn't even call it the law, it's illegal.
And where's the media to be like, look at all these people, oh it's because it's them.
They're the ones going out to the park and being like, well it's no big deal when I do it.
Anyway.
If you haven't already, hit that subscribe button, hit that like button, hit the notification bell because YouTube is a broken system and I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty confident at some point you will never see this show again because YouTube's gonna prop up CNN and MSNBC and Fox News and so if you don't want that to happen, you can help out by sharing this.
But we are also on iTunes, I think, Google, Spotify, wherever you can find podcasts and listen to us talk about whatever it is we feel like talking about.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Typically things like this.
Kim Jong-un has been replaced.
adam crigler
Wait, I was gonna say, what are we talking about?
tim pool
Well, that was just the introduction to the show.
adam crigler
Oh, right, right, right.
Yeah, because I forgot to press record, so... How long was... How many miles did you guys drive, anyway?
tim pool
It's 2,750 both directions.
adam crigler
That's a lot of driving.
How many hours is that?
tim pool
It was 41?
lydia smith
It was 40 hours one way.
Hold on, wait.
tim pool
No, no, it was 41.
It wasn't 40.
lydia smith
Okay, it was 40 hours one way, and then it was 41 hours the other way.
tim pool
No, it was 41 both ways.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
One day, 17.
adam crigler
So over 80 hours of driving.
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
That was very exciting.
adam crigler
What was the best part that happened?
Anything exciting happen?
tim pool
We drove past a town that was completely closed.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
Yeah, I think it was Laguna.
lydia smith
Yeah, New Mexico?
tim pool
Yeah.
It was like the sign said, no visitors.
adam crigler
Did you try?
tim pool
No.
adam crigler
You had to try.
tim pool
No, why would we want to?
adam crigler
For the excitement of it all.
tim pool
Would you drive into a zombie apocalypse if you had the choice?
lydia smith
Maybe.
tim pool
Would you get infected?
adam crigler
Maybe.
tim pool
Well, I did.
Joe Rogan took my blood.
So here's my conspiracy theory.
Joe is having all these high-profile guests come in.
adam crigler
He's going to clone you.
tim pool
And he's going to have everyone's blood.
No.
He's going to be able to figure out the genes for the perfect media personality human.
He's got scientists, he's got comedians, he's got journalists.
adam crigler
I was kind of right.
He's going to clone you, but clone all of you at once into one ultimate media journalist.
tim pool
Sitting somewhere, you know, he was like doing DMT or something and he's like, I have an idea.
unidentified
Oh, that's crazy.
adam crigler
You know, I was actually really bummed.
Not one time did you make him say, That's crazy.
And I was like, oh, come on, Tim.
tim pool
Oh, that's crazy.
lydia smith
He doesn't really say that that much.
adam crigler
No, I guess not.
Yeah, I guess not.
I was, I was waiting for it.
tim pool
I was excited.
So it was actually easy when I, what she had was this little like purple thing that she, the nurse, she put on my finger and then it clicks.
It goes.
lydia smith
It's a needle.
tim pool
And it, I didn't feel anything at all.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
It's because I got calluses from guitar. So they're not so the my calluses aren't really that strong
Okay, but I didn't feel it but she Struggled to get the blood to come out. Did she have to do
adam crigler
it more than once?
tim pool
No, but she like squeezed my hand as hard as she could to get the blood to come out because I was like, yeah
adam crigler
Why wouldn't she just use your right hand?
tim pool
It's all dead.
I don't know.
Cause she sat down to my left and she was like right handed guitar, right?
Yeah.
adam crigler
My right hand is where the calces are.
tim pool
Yup.
adam crigler
My left hand is where, yeah, she, well, future reference nurse.
tim pool
So what they did was she, she, she got the blood on my finger and then there was like these little white tabs.
I posted on Instagram, go to instagram.com slash Tim cast.
You can see the photo of it.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
There's no point.
There's no reference point though, to see how big they were.
So it looked like, it looked like you were getting like a, I don't know, a pregnancy test.
tim pool
It's about as big as your thumb.
adam crigler
Oh, tiny.
tim pool
Yeah, it's a little white thing.
And there's a little square, and she put my blood in it, and then 15 minutes later, the whole thing, the bar, starts to change color.
And then it says up top, like, COVID-19, and then it said, like, MR something, and then MR something.
And what she said was, the first line, I don't think mattered.
lydia smith
It's a control, I think, probably.
Yeah.
tim pool
And then the second line was if you actively have an infection, and the third line was if you've beaten the infection.
adam crigler
Interesting.
So I can tell the difference.
tim pool
Yep.
adam crigler
So basically, what, the third line would be like if you had the antibodies or something?
tim pool
Yeah.
The third one was if you have... No, it was something about if you have the antibodies in a current infection, they can tell.
And if you have the antibodies for immunity, it's different or something.
adam crigler
That's cool.
I didn't realize you could do both.
tim pool
And you know, the funny thing is... Isn't that so fast?
adam crigler
15 minutes?
tim pool
Yeah, 15 minutes.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
So when everyone's asking like, so what was like Joe freaking out then when you like showed up and he was like, you know, like, you gotta get a test first.
I was like, no, no.
He walked up, he fist bumped me and he's like, the nurse will be here in a few minutes.
adam crigler
He got a little nervous when you started coughing.
I know you inhaled some water during the show.
unidentified
Did he get nervous?
tim pool
No.
adam crigler
No, he was like, his words were like, oh man, coughing nowadays.
You start coughing around people, you're just like, What is going on with that person?
COVID!
COVID!
unidentified
COOF!
adam crigler
You got the COOF!
tim pool
Yeah, I was drinking water and then he said something and I went, and I hiccuped.
I was like, oh!
And then I was like, I can't talk!
adam crigler
Yeah, you were down for the count for like three minutes.
lydia smith
That took a while.
tim pool
And I started coughing and I'm like, I'm gonna let Joe speak until I can talk again.
adam crigler
Oh, man.
tim pool
Yeah, but dude, I couldn't believe how fast that time flies.
adam crigler
Yeah, I thought I had to go to, oh, you're talking about Joe Rogan just chatting with him.
tim pool
No, it's like, yeah, I sat down and then all of a sudden Joe's like, it's been three hours, Tim, and I'm like, whoa.
adam crigler
Yeah, you guys never stopped talking.
It was just like one long flow.
And you didn't mention our show one time.
Not one time!
tim pool
No, of course not.
adam crigler
What is up with that?
No, no, give me my camera back.
tim pool
What is up with that?
adam crigler
Alright, you can take it.
tim pool
Time was flying, dude.
It was so crazy.
I had a bunch of stuff I was like, oh, wait till I talk about this.
I was like, Before the show started, I was talking about something, and Joe was like, whoa, whoa, save it.
That's crazy.
We never talked about any of it.
adam crigler
Of course.
tim pool
And I didn't remember what it was.
I was like, whoa.
And then at the end of it, if you catch the end, I'm like, oh, there's a story I want to tell you about that guy at my house.
He's like, oh, tell it.
I'm like, oh.
adam crigler
Now I have to tell this weird little story about the guy.
tim pool
No, I just gave you the quick version of it.
adam crigler
The story of the guy at your house should have been me doing a show with you.
Done.
Problem solved.
tim pool
Yeah, you know what, man?
Look, look, look.
I did not hit up Joe to do a show with him.
It was actually supposed to be me and David Pakman and Joe, and we were all going to talk how we see politics.
And I think Joe and I kind of agree a lot Mm-hmm.
On these things.
In fact, I think Joe goes further than I do on the Trump stuff.
Like, he said he would rather vote for Trump.
I was like, I didn't even get that far.
I said, like, I understand, but I haven't made any hard commitments or anything.
adam crigler
Man, every day goes by.
I feel this.
I mean, I said it.
tim pool
Well, you already said you were going to vote for him.
adam crigler
I did.
I said it.
Committed, man.
Every single day, I feel more and more confident in that decision.
tim pool
Yeah, but here's why I wouldn't go that far is because Joe Biden, I don't think is going to be the nominee.
Well, I should say, I'm leaning slightly towards them pulling him out.
adam crigler
If they pull him out, there's no reason why the other people that have already backed down shouldn't be the ones that should be in that position.
tim pool
They won't be.
adam crigler
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
But maybe Cuomo.
adam crigler
I don't like that.
I don't know his presidential capabilities.
tim pool
I don't know what they're going to do, man.
Because it's six months out.
Even if they got rid of Biden, what are they going to do?
They're going to introduce the country to Andrew Cuomo?
There was one article that said, a Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama ticket.
And I threw up in my mouth a little bit.
Like, no way, that's never going to happen.
But here's what I'm saying, man.
I'm fairly confident.
No, I shouldn't put it that way.
I should say I'm leaning slightly towards them pulling out Joe Biden.
There's tons of articles popping up saying, get rid of him.
There's tons of calls from people saying it's time for plan B. Right.
adam crigler
Well, Cassandra Fairbanks released that article that there's this, I don't know, some sort of committee to get Michelle Obama on the VP.
tim pool
Well, it's like a super PAC or something.
adam crigler
Yeah, okay.
tim pool
So they're going to try and draft her to do it.
unidentified
I said it and people were like, oh please Tim, Michelle Obama will never do it.
tim pool
And it's like, I don't know.
I'm not saying it's a greater than chance probability.
I'm just saying like, you know, if I'm thinking it, they've been thinking it for the past few weeks.
adam crigler
Oh yeah.
Or months.
tim pool
Nobody thought Joe Biden was ever going to win it.
Dude is sunsetting.
adam crigler
I don't get it.
He really is.
tim pool
So look, Everything they've complained about Trump, like Biden, is worse.
They say like, oh, but Donald Trump has talked about abusing women.
Dude, there's video footage of Biden abusing women.
adam crigler
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm sorry.
No, no, no.
Not women.
unidentified
Girls.
adam crigler
Little girls.
And that is a big difference to me.
I mean, my goodness, they're both bad, but he's making little girls creeped out.
I can't understand the fathers in every single one of those videos looking at it like, it's Joe Biden.
I guess it's okay.
tim pool
Nah.
adam crigler
Like, what?
Is going on.
Man, I do not like Biden.
I don't like Biden, no.
tim pool
I don't recall that.
He is gross.
adam crigler
I don't like that either, but you know.
tim pool
Biden's gross, man.
unidentified
a baby. I think or something I don't recall. I don't like that either but you know. But
tim pool
so I find girls but I'm gonna dress this right it's it's a common thing to like you know
kiss babies and shake hands. Joe Biden's not doing that now right so there's like there's
adam crigler
creepy videos of tons of rubbish and I'm with his hands.
tim pool
Molesting them on camera.
adam crigler
Yes.
tim pool
Yes.
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
adam crigler
Yes, I can't stand it.
tim pool
It's gross. So you place lecherous old Joe next to Trump and I got a potty mouth Trump versus the dude on camera
unidentified
doing these things And I'm right. I don't like either of them to be honest
tim pool
Well, there's that Andrew Shultz, I think his name is, the comedian.
He did this bit.
Rogan actually posted it.
And he says something like, the reason Joe Biden should be president is that he's the real deal.
Look, Donald Trump talks about grabbing women.
Joe Biden actually did it!
But then he stops and looks over and goes, allegedly.
But I'll put it this way.
adam crigler
That's good.
tim pool
I'm not 100%, but I absolutely would lean towards voting for Trump if Biden was on the ticket.
And it's because I think it is reckless.
I think it is horrifying and it is irresponsible for them to put that man in the Oval Office.
Now, I understand, like, they could get a VP who would potentially be doing most of the work.
But that feels like subversion, and I still don't trust the idea of me putting my name behind someone like Biden.
Nah, sorry man, not gonna happen.
So, one of the things that stops me from going all the way and saying I would absolutely vote for Trump in that capacity is that I don't like the idea of voting for the lesser of two evils.
adam crigler
I 100% agree with you.
tim pool
I actually think, in a lot of ways, Trump is better than a lot of the presidents we've had in a long time.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
But I think, man, he's got an erratic, sporadic, irrational, no, irrational's the wrong word, impulsive.
adam crigler
Yeah, definitely.
tim pool
And so it's like, well, I certainly, that's why, look, there's a lot of presidents where I've been like, never gonna happen.
Like McCain, Obama, I'm like, mm-mm, I wouldn't vote for any of those people.
With Trump, it's like, there's a lot of things I can see wrong with him, but I also know the media lied about almost everything, and that makes it really, really hard for the left to argue why Trump should never be president.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
It's like, dude, listen, I've been reading the news all day, every day since the man got elected, and it's been lie after lie after lie.
Seriously?
I don't know why I should believe you anymore.
So when they come out and they say stuff like, there was this segment the Washington Post put out where it said, like, here's seven times Trump lied about, you know, COVID or something.
One of the segments shows him going, you know, some people are saying that it might go away in April with the heat.
And then it freezes.
And then the next bit is a reporter saying, Mr. President, you said it would go away in April with the heat.
And he goes, I never said that.
And they're like, ah, he lied.
And I'm like, he didn't.
He said, some people think.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Now you want to play semantics and say, oh, no, no, no.
But that was him asserting it.
Who were these some people?
No, no.
A lot of people online were saying that.
adam crigler
Yeah, like the whole open by Easter thing.
He was like, I would love to have the economy open by Easter.
It would be great if we can have everything run in by Easter.
And they're like, you said that your plan was to open it by Easter.
And he's like, I said I wanted to open it.
unidentified
He plays him, dude.
tim pool
He plays him like a fiddle.
I think he knows this, too.
He says things that aren't absolute, like he's toying with the idea.
But it's not even that, right?
Do you know about what happened with the Shinzo Abe of Japan and the koi fish pond?
adam crigler
No, what is it?
tim pool
So, a video goes viral of a camera zooming in on Trump, and, you know, Trump and Shinzo Abe were taking little bits of fish food and tossing it into the pond, right?
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
Then all of a sudden the camera zooms in on Trump, and it shows him dump the whole thing of food into the water.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And boy did the internet go wild, and they were like, oh, this man is such an embarrassment, I can't believe he would do that, he just dumped all of the food in!
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You're supposed to do a little bit!
And then the real footage got released, and guess what happened?
Shinzo Abe threw all the food in, Trump looked at him, shrugged, and then did the same thing.
Trump was taking the cue of the Prime Minister of Japan.
adam crigler
Showing him how it's done.
tim pool
Then you have the Covington kids.
You know about that, right?
Of course.
You know the Covington kids?
adam crigler
No, don't tell me about it.
tim pool
They were a field trip of kids standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
adam crigler
Oh, this, yeah.
tim pool
Video goes viral of a Native American banging a drum.
When I first got sent that video, I was watching it and I had everyone saying things to me like, dude, did you see this?
Did you see this, Tim?
Did you see this?
And I watched it and I'm like, I don't know what I'm looking at.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
I'm like, so why should I be upset?
And they were like, dude, look what that kid's doing.
I'm like, What is he doing?
adam crigler
He was almost in shock that they were standing in front of him.
I remember seeing his face.
He was just like, what do I do?
tim pool
Everyone was telling me what I was being told.
They were like, he got in the face of the Native American and started smugly.
And I was like, that's not the video.
You didn't send me a video of a kid walking up to a Native American.
You sent me a video of two people standing in front of each other.
But the media went nuts.
And now they're getting sued.
CNN settled.
So this is the problem, right?
There are things that I find disagreeable with the president, but at this point, I gotta say, there is a big motivating factor, like an F you factor, of like, I am so sick of being insulted and lied to.
adam crigler
Yeah, I can see that.
tim pool
Every single day.
adam crigler
It's true.
tim pool
And so you know what?
It's like, man, when Donald Trump won, I laughed a hearty laugh.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Because it was comeuppance for the Democrats and how they screwed over Bernie.
Yeah.
And I was pissed.
I was like, you get what you deserve.
Like, this is the game you played and you lose because of it?
I couldn't believe it happened.
Now I'm kind of like, you know what, man?
If they really want to put up Biden, if this is the game they want to play, they deserve to lose.
And I will laugh again.
Admittedly, I will laugh if Biden wins too, because that's just like... It's an equally funny thing.
Well, it's because, you know, a lot of people were saying that the Donald Trump vote was the chaos vote.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
Yeah.
They were like, a vote for Trump is to burn it all down.
So there were a lot of like, uh, a lot of left, like, I don't want to say, I don't want to pretend like it was a huge number, but there were, I knew some like, Antifa type people who were like, definitely voting for Trump.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
tim pool
Because they thought Trump was the fastest path towards everything collapsing.
Then the economy roars and everything's better than ever.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
But I'll tell you what, man.
If you really want to see things collapse, vote for Biden.
adam crigler
Yeah.
That's the vibe I get.
tim pool
He's going to go into a meeting with Iran, and he's going to be sleeping and snoring, and they're going to be shrugging.
And then one guy's going to walk over with a contract for some ridiculous terms, like lifting all sanctions and giving them bailouts.
And then they're going to be like, oh, Mr. President, you were just about to sign.
And he goes, oh, sorry.
And then he just signs it and falls asleep again.
adam crigler
Yeah, his tweets are all articulate and, like, long.
And I'm like, I want to see him say any one of these tweets.
Pick one.
I don't care which one it is.
And just read it to me.
Read your own tweet.
What did you say?
You know?
And I know.
tim pool
That's why it's funny when they asked Trump the other day.
They're like, Joe Biden tweeted.
And he goes, no, he didn't.
He didn't tweet that.
adam crigler
He didn't tweet that.
He didn't.
unidentified
It's accurate.
tim pool
The prospect of a Biden presidency is scary because his proponents have even said the same thing.
It's a placeholder candidacy, a one-term president.
It's funny, he actually said this.
adam crigler
Biden did?
tim pool
Yeah, he said something like this.
What exactly did he say?
Remember he said he was like, I'll be a one-term president and then he walked back like, no, no, that's not what I meant.
lydia smith
So he said something like, uh, I want to hold the place for somebody like the Mayor Pete's of the world.
Like I really want to like set the stage and I don't expect to be here for that long, which is unsettling.
I don't like that.
tim pool
Oh dude.
I'm laughing, but you know, I really, I really actually feel bad because there was a, oh man.
When he was doing the Micah Brzezinski interview, did you watch that?
So, man, she went... Oh, I saw the clips of this.
She didn't go easy on him.
adam crigler
No, she didn't.
tim pool
Dude, I felt so bad for Biden.
adam crigler
Yeah, someone just said that I'm roasting an old man.
It's like, yeah, he's an old man.
He shouldn't be running for president.
tim pool
It's not about roasting him.
It's about the people who are propping him up.
adam crigler
And pushing him out.
tim pool
That's the point I'm trying to make.
adam crigler
He's still making the choice to run, though.
tim pool
Yeah, but come on.
adam crigler
What?
tim pool
A two-year-old makes the choice to take a fork in an electrical outlet.
We don't blame the two-year-old.
Bad parenting.
adam crigler
So he's a two-year-old?
tim pool
Yeah, dude.
He's clearly out of his mind and he's sitting there mumbling and sputtering and he can't speak and they keep doing this to him.
adam crigler
More reason why I don't want to vote for this man.
unidentified
Right!
tim pool
Listen, on that Micah Brzezinski interview, it was so sad.
This confused, disheveled old man just sitting there like, why are you yelling at me?
What's happening?
I don't understand.
I'm like, come on, man.
unidentified
I can't come up with an excuse fast enough.
tim pool
It's not about him coming up with an excuse.
adam crigler
That's what it felt like.
tim pool
It's about, like, you took someone... A scapegoat?
adam crigler
Something?
tim pool
No, no, you took a man who was, like, listen, I'd be willing to bet that if he had to stand trial, the opposing legal team would easily argue he's not fit to stand trial.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
He's not there.
They'd be like, listen to him speak, and he'd be like, you know, I didn't Well, the thing with me, and they'd be like, this man is clearly not fit to testify.
If they put him on MSNBC and put him in front of his woman, who actually asked him some tough questions, she said something like, so we're supposed to believe all women, except until it's you.
And it's like, she kind of smacked him down a little bit.
adam crigler
She's got a huge point.
tim pool
She could have been tougher on him, but she was pretty tough.
And he had this look on his face.
adam crigler
Any tougher, he would have broke.
tim pool
He had this look on his face where he was like, You know, just like his brow going down, confused, like, I don't understand what's happening.
Like, what's happening right now?
And I'm like, you know what man?
We're humans.
We're young and vulnerable.
Then we become teenagers, young adults, adults.
We're capable of sustaining ourselves.
And then once we get older, we look to our families and we look to varying degrees of our society helping us out as we sunset.
We live a life of a bell curve.
Joe Biden is clearly well beyond his prime.
That's an understatement.
adam crigler
Well beyond.
tim pool
He's like, they're stretching what little bit he has left beyond where he should even be going.
It makes me sick to see what they put that guy through.
You know, I get it.
He's sitting there being like, I want to do this.
Obama said, Joe, you don't have to do this.
You know what it is?
I wondered what that meant.
You don't have to do this.
Wait, wait, what do you mean?
Running for president is like a, it's a powerful statement.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
It's an aspirational goal.
adam crigler
Yeah, you should want to be president, at least.
tim pool
What does it mean you don't have to do this?
You say that to somebody who's about to run to a burning building to save a life.
Like, you don't have to do this.
adam crigler
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
What was Joe Biden?
That's it.
Sacrificial lamb.
You know, a lot of people felt this way.
There's a lot of posts on social media saying things like, and I agree with this, that he's just a holdover candidate.
They know he won't win, and they don't want to waste Buttigieg.
They don't want to waste their actually younger candidates who might win next, in the next cycle.
adam crigler
Because it's anyone's game next time.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
And so they know Trump will be a trough, a trough battle.
Trump will be a tough battle.
adam crigler
That's how tough it is.
He deserves his own word.
tim pool
So they're like, you know what?
A trough.
So they're like, you know what?
Biden is done.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
We don't want to waste any of our young, more energetic candidates.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Throw out Biden, he'll lose.
We won't got to waste anybody and burn them in the press.
adam crigler
That makes a lot of sense to me.
That makes total sense.
There's no chance.
I'm gonna make a big huge pot of popcorn for when they go debate each other.
Seriously, people were asking me on AdamCast that we should do a live stream.
tim pool
We can't.
adam crigler
No, I know.
tim pool
Yeah, they shut everybody down.
adam crigler
Crowder did it with CNN.
It's tough though.
They didn't stream CNN, they streamed straight from the White House.
And I don't know if that got around.
tim pool
They still go after people.
adam crigler
But it worked.
unidentified
He did it.
tim pool
So what happens is when the White House or C-SPAN or some other non-profit or public entity will stream, CNN and other outlets pick it up and then argue that because the audio and video matches their content, they strike you down and then you can't livestream for two weeks.
adam crigler
That's ridiculous.
tim pool
Yeah, you know, uh, you know, you know, Luke, Luke, right?
So Luke did an interview.
This is years ago.
This is like 2012.
I think Al Jazeera, uh, took his footage under fair use.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Ran a segment and then copyright claimed his video, which was uploaded first and YouTube took it down.
unidentified
What?
tim pool
Yeah.
And they took his money.
adam crigler
Whoa, that's messed up.
tim pool
Talk about messed up.
lydia smith
Oh my gosh.
tim pool
Yikes.
All right, well, that was a fun opening complaint about politics.
We were supposed to be talking about Kim Jong-un, so we're gonna do that now.
adam crigler
Yeah, all right.
tim pool
And now everyone's had a chance to come in.
Let's actually talk about what's going on with Mr. Jong-un.
Mr. Jong-un.
adam crigler
Mr. Kim.
tim pool
Kim is his last name, right?
adam crigler
Kim is his last name?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
unidentified
I guess.
adam crigler
Wait, what?
unidentified
Really?
tim pool
You'd think as a Korean I would understand how names work.
adam crigler
Yeah, don't you know?
tim pool
No, I don't.
lydia smith
Come on.
tim pool
I do know Kim is a very common last name.
Kim, Lee, and Park, I think.
adam crigler
Well, here's the story.
tim pool
Kim Jong-un truthers think he was replaced by a body double, but it's okay, everybody.
Before I even get into this, for the sake of YouTube's rules, I just want to make sure you all know that CNN said it's not true, and because they're an authoritative source, so it's confirmed.
Kim Jong-un is back.
But that being said, We're just going to read this article anyway.
None of us really believe there's a body double for a world leader.
I mean, it's not like other world leaders have ever had body doubles or anything.
I mean, oh, wait, what's this?
lydia smith
Oh, wait.
adam crigler
Oh, look at that.
tim pool
There have been many body doubles for many leaders.
adam crigler
Three world leaders who actually had body doubles.
Wow.
tim pool
Who's this guy?
lydia smith
Dictators all, I'm sure.
tim pool
General Bernard Montgomery and his double M.E.
Clifton.
unidentified
That's cool.
adam crigler
What a fantastic name.
tim pool
Oh, Saddam Hussein definitely had body doubles.
Oh, yeah.
adam crigler
So you have like six of them?
tim pool
I'm not... I actually think Kim Jong-un is back.
I think people overreacted.
But I do think he's probably got a body double.
Yeah, yeah, I think so too.
You know what I think is, they love playing games of the press, they love lying, and they have every opportunity to, you know, try and screw with us.
So, you know, maybe he's got a body double, it doesn't mean he's dead or anything like that, so I don't know for sure.
adam crigler
So what, do you think he was just trolling the world right now?
Like, ooh, I'm gonna make everyone think that I died, yeah.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
And put my sister on... Everyone now knows who his sister is.
tim pool
Maybe.
Exactly.
adam crigler
She was nobody.
She actually avoided the press until three months ago was her first appearance ever.
tim pool
So maybe... Unless he died a long time ago.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I don't know.
Check this out.
So there's some photos.
adam crigler
That's interesting.
tim pool
The Daily Dot says, Kim Jong-un truthers think he was replaced by a body double.
And they go on to tell, you know, basically say what everyone's already said.
So TMZ reported his death.
And then eventually the reporting changed, and the reporting, like, eventually the story, I think this is an actual headline, it said, Kim Jong-un is either dead, incapacitated, or totally fine.
Great reporting.
That about covers everything.
But I guess you can be in between totally fine and incapacitated, like feeling unwell.
adam crigler
I mean, technically that is probably the truest news article in the past few months.
tim pool
Life exists.
News at 11.
So here's what they show.
We have these tweets.
Look at these photos.
Luis Mensch says, don't know, don't care.
See no reason to alter my earlier stance.
These aren't the same men.
You know what I love about these photos is that there was a similar story about Hillary Clinton.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Not that long ago, because there was a photo of a woman that like people were saying was not Hillary Clinton and it really did look weird.
Like did not look like her.
You know that photo, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
You sent it to me and you're like, who is this?
I'm like, I don't know.
tim pool
So there was a photo of Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton.
And everybody thought it wasn't really Hillary.
So I cropped out just the woman and sent it to people saying, who is this woman?
And most people told me, I don't know.
Oh, all right.
adam crigler
So it's the Bill Clinton next to her added the, oh yeah, it's Hillary.
unidentified
Of course.
tim pool
But it was probably just an awful picture of Hillary.
People don't understand how camera angles change how you look.
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
And it was like a low, up close, wide shot.
Her nose looked big or something.
I don't know, maybe it wasn't her, I'm just saying.
adam crigler
Maybe you actually got a glimpse of under her mask.
unidentified
Oh yeah.
adam crigler
The real her.
tim pool
And some scales were coming out.
adam crigler
Some reptilian, like a snake tongue.
unidentified
Let's talk about Best Korea's Chubby Man.
tim pool
Best Korea's Chubby Man.
So what they're pointing out, this person says the chipped incisor is a definite giveaway it's not Kim Jong-un.
On the right you see a photo of Kim Jong-un and he's got, his teeth are pretty straight, he's got big ol' incisors.
adam crigler
Those look like great teeth.
He had some work done.
tim pool
Aw, dude.
You know he's like a multi-millionaire.
He's like ridiculously wealthy.
adam crigler
That makes sense.
tim pool
Yeah, that's why he's fat.
adam crigler
Sure.
tim pool
Then look at this guy on the left.
His teeth are very different.
Like, can you see this?
adam crigler
Yeah, that left tooth is bigger than the right tooth.
tim pool
So here's what I would normally say.
Okay.
If somebody said his chipped incisor, my response immediately goes, sometimes people chip their teeth.
lydia smith
That happens.
tim pool
Didn't you hear Chris Cuomo chipped his tooth shivering with COVID?
adam crigler
I chipped my tooth.
tim pool
Oh, there you go.
adam crigler
My front tooth actually is... They glued it back on, actually.
unidentified
Yeah, this one.
adam crigler
You know, one thing I have about these kind of things is, when are these pictures from?
What is, you know, what is this?
You know, this could be anything.
You know, this guy might not even be North Korean.
He might just be some random dude from the internet.
They're like, oh, he kind of looks like him.
tim pool
This is the photo they released, they claimed was him.
adam crigler
Oh, North Korea did.
tim pool
Yeah, so like, on the CNN thing, right?
adam crigler
Oh, right, yeah, the cutting.
tim pool
These are really crappy photos, though.
They are, yeah.
unidentified
Exactly.
tim pool
How do we know?
This is a video from CNN where it says, Kim Jong-un, U.N.
images appear legitimate.
According to a U.S.
official, images of Kim Jong-un at a May Day celebration appear to be legitimate.
This would be the leader's first public appearance in about three weeks.
adam crigler
Ah, so wait a minute.
tim pool
You can't see anything here.
adam crigler
So CNN is actually not confirming he's back.
They're just saying it appears he's back.
tim pool
No, a U.N.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
A U.N.
tim pool
official.
Yeah, what is it?
I'm sorry, a U.S.
official.
Not a U.N.
official.
A U.S.
official is saying that they appear to be legitimate.
adam crigler
Okay, up here.
Right.
I don't know.
Okay.
tim pool
These photos are really grainy.
So I can't I can't say.
adam crigler
But why?
I don't know.
tim pool
Kim Jong Il died.
Why?
What's what's the problem?
If he dies, they'll just say it's somebody else.
What's the why does he need to live?
lydia smith
Because he's young and maybe it's just like a strategic time.
adam crigler
He's only like two years older, three years older than me.
lydia smith
Yeah, he's not old.
tim pool
He's 36.
adam crigler
He's my age.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Never mind.
He's the same age as me.
tim pool
And he's a world leader.
What have you been doing with your life?
unidentified
That's right.
adam crigler
Video games.
tim pool
Why aren't you the leader of Best Korea?
adam crigler
Well, I don't have an in like some people I know, Tim.
tim pool
So, hold on.
There's more photos.
Oh, man.
You know what, man?
Here's another one.
It says, look at these two images and note the teeth.
The first one is Kim Jong-un a few weeks ago.
The real one?
The second is KJU today, as shown by RT.
Note the gap in the teeth of the second image.
A body double?
I mean, maybe.
Let me see if I can pull these pictures up and make them bigger.
adam crigler
I don't know.
That second image did look a little different.
lydia smith
They do look kind of different.
We're working on it.
tim pool
Yeah, those teeth do not look the same.
adam crigler
Yeah, he has a, that's a gap.
tim pool
Look at that big gap in the front teeth.
No, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Wait a minute.
adam crigler
Yeah, look, there's no gap.
That's a significant gap in his frontier.
tim pool
So, hold on.
Think about what this means.
If this is true, it means that in North Korea they have a guy whose assigned communist job is literally just keep eating to get fat.
Because nobody's fat in North Korea.
adam crigler
Or he probably just eats the exact same foods.
tim pool
They found a guy who's the same height, and they sat him down, and they were like, whatever Kim eats, you eat!
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
And drinks, and smokes.
I'm allowed to do that because I'm actually Korean and Japanese, by the way.
adam crigler
Oh yeah, you can.
tim pool
I am.
I'm actually doing an imitation of one of my relatives.
adam crigler
Good.
Yeah, there you go.
tim pool
Because people are going to complain anyway.
adam crigler
Yep, they are.
Let them complain.
tim pool
So I'm officially allowed to imitate anyone Japanese and anyone Korean.
adam crigler
Nice.
tim pool
No, I actually did grow up eating a lot of Korean food.
My mom would cook it and stuff.
So here's another photo.
It says, was the Kim Jong-un who cut the ribbon at the fertilizer plant a body double or nah?
adam crigler
Nah.
tim pool
So they have more photos.
No, actually, look at this.
adam crigler
I know.
tim pool
This is weird stuff, man.
I gotta admit.
unidentified
Let's stop playing games.
adam crigler
I mean, they look like different people.
It looks like hair and a wig.
Look at the wig he's got on.
tim pool
It does look like he's wearing a wig.
unidentified
What the heck?
adam crigler
That is not the same dude.
lydia smith
I don't know how I feel about that.
tim pool
Maybe, oh, you know what else?
I wanted to say before, like maybe he's just eating, getting fatter,
but that looks like a wig, man.
adam crigler
It does, look at that hair.
tim pool
It looks like they have some guy who just, that is not, that's creepy.
adam crigler
So different, look at the teeth.
The teeth are so drastically different.
tim pool
What we're saying is okay, we're not gonna get banned
for entertainment conspiracy theory for two.
adam crigler
It's a conspiracy theory.
tim pool
There's one reason, though.
adam crigler
Why?
tim pool
It's because the people pushing it, like Louis Mensch and like Akilah Hughes,
they're lefty.
So if they're saying it, we're good.
So if YouTube has a problem, we'll just be like, oh no, that's like a left-wing thing.
They'll go, oh, that's right, we won't ban you.
adam crigler
Okay, left-wing stuff.
That's fine.
tim pool
Yeah.
Only conspiracy theories from Alex Jones are bannable.
Yeah, when Akilah Hughes and Louise Mann screech about Russia for three years or whatever.
Well, not Akilah.
I'm not trying to drag her.
She's talking about Kim Jong-un, which I don't actually disagree with.
But Louise Mensch is famous for saying, like, for years, like, we have proof that Trump— I think she accused Cassandra of being a Russian agent, Cassandra Fairbanks.
Seriously?
It's like, dude, why?
That's ridiculous.
I've known Cassandra for years.
But yeah, so we're good, we're good, we're all good.
But it is true that body doubles exist, man.
So this is the crazy thing to me is, why is it so taboo to entertain the possibility that Kim Jong-un has a body double?
lydia smith
Maybe he does, yeah.
adam crigler
I totally believe it.
tim pool
You know what I think?
Maybe he's not dead.
adam crigler
Maybe he's just... He's on vacation.
tim pool
Incapacitated.
adam crigler
No, no.
Maybe he's on vacation.
He's like chillin' somewhere.
He's like, you know what?
tim pool
Take a break.
adam crigler
Go be me for a little bit.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
I need to chill.
tim pool
People are starting to get worried that you're gone.
I'm playing GTA, man.
GTA Online.
Oh no, write that online.
Have him do it.
You know what's funny is that apparently I've heard he does play video games online.
adam crigler
Seriously?
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
I wonder what games he plays.
I wonder what console he plays on.
tim pool
And you wouldn't even know you're playing against Kim Jong-un.
Yeah, I heard he was big into video games.
Didn't he go to school in Switzerland or Sweden or something?
adam crigler
I don't know.
tim pool
Switzerland, maybe.
Was it?
unidentified
I have no idea.
adam crigler
Yeah, I think Switzerland.
tim pool
Switzerland?
adam crigler
I think that's it.
tim pool
So yeah, I heard he plays a bunch of online FPS games.
I don't know if that's true or not.
But there are a bunch of really famous people who play games you probably don't even realize you're playing with.
adam crigler
Cool.
tim pool
Yeah.
Could you imagine playing a game against Kim Jong-un?
And he's just sitting there like, I don't know what they eat for snacks in North Korea.
Do they have snacks?
I'm sure he does.
adam crigler
Yeah, he's definitely got snacks.
tim pool
Nah, that dude's got Burger King overnighted to him whenever he wants.
adam crigler
Yeah, look at him.
tim pool
Stalin, of course, had a body double.
Didn't Stalin have more than one?
Oh, Felix Dadaev?
Dadaev?
adam crigler
He doesn't really look like him.
I don't know.
tim pool
Nah, but... He looks like him, but... It doesn't even... No, dude, it doesn't even matter because you get a guy who looks somewhat like him and people are gonna be like, that's him.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
That's it.
adam crigler
Well nowadays you gotta be really good with it because like back when it was Stalin it was like there was no social media like we've got today like no one really like you saw his picture once and if this other dude showed up and was like doing a speech you wouldn't know.
Right?
You wouldn't know.
You never really met Stalin in real life.
tim pool
Have you ever met a celebrity?
Like, seen a celebrity, like, walking down the street?
adam crigler
Mm-hmm.
tim pool
A lot of people don't realize this.
Like, they don't look the same.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Because when, you know, I remember being told this when I was a little kid, because my family owned a cafe, and some, like, well-known people had walked into the cafe before, and they looked different.
adam crigler
Mm-hmm.
tim pool
And my parents were like, it's because when they film movies, they go for the best angles all the time.
And they'll shoot like four or five different ways.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And so the way you see somebody is not how they actually are.
adam crigler
Well, sometimes they look exactly the same.
tim pool
Sometimes.
adam crigler
You know Giselle?
You know Giselle?
The famous female model.
lydia smith
Oh, Munchin?
adam crigler
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
So I did a job with her once.
She looks exactly the same in real life.
unidentified
Wow.
adam crigler
Like, I was like, oh, I know exactly who you are.
unidentified
That's cool.
adam crigler
You look exactly the same.
Good for her.
And there you go.
tim pool
I can't remember what movie I was watching.
It was a Tom Cruise movie.
And Tom Cruise, I think, was what, like 5'7"?
adam crigler
Yeah.
Oh, that's taller than I thought he was.
lydia smith
He's 5'7".
tim pool
Yeah, he's like 5'7".
And he was walking in front of someone who I know is a lot taller than an actor.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And they were the same height.
Because of these angles.
Yeah, yeah.
Because they want him to look tall and tougher or whatever.
I can't remember what movie it was.
adam crigler
Almost every movie he's ever been in.
lydia smith
Right.
adam crigler
Probably.
tim pool
Yeah, he's a relatively short dude.
So, I've seen people on the street and it took a few minutes and I'm like, was that?
No, that couldn't have been.
I don't know was it and then all of a sudden me and my friends like dude that really was you know
so and so like wow it takes you a while. Yeah imagine you've seen photos and videos of someone
like Kim Jong-un and then a dude shows up who's a big fat Korean guy with a slicked back hair
you'd probably be like looks like him to me.
I don't know.
And it's also, also think about this too, like with these photos.
Let me find one of the weirdest looking photos.
adam crigler
Like, no, that one's kind of weird.
Here we go.
tim pool
Not this one.
Let me do the other one.
This one right here.
adam crigler
Yeah, this one.
tim pool
The eyebrows are different.
The hairline looks fake.
adam crigler
Totally does.
tim pool
Wait, wait, look at the side of the head too.
adam crigler
Yeah, I don't get it.
And look at his ears.
The ears stick out way more on the left.
I mean, he could have just gained weight.
The one on the left is two weeks ago, is that right?
tim pool
Oh, no, probably way before that.
But here's what I'm saying.
If you saw this guy walking around and someone told you it was Kim Jong-un, you don't have a photo of him.
adam crigler
Wait, wait, wait.
unidentified
Hold on.
adam crigler
Let me just pull up a picture of you real quick so I can compare and contrast.
tim pool
Can you smile for me?
Smile wider.
unidentified
Show me those teeth.
adam crigler
Let me see your teeth.
I don't think that's you.
I'm out of here.
I don't think that's you.
tim pool
No, but this is why the body double thing works because the average person doesn't have a video.
They see it and their brain fills in the gaps and like, that makes sense.
adam crigler
Just like that Hillary picture.
tim pool
Right.
adam crigler
Right.
If you tell somebody that it's Hillary, then that's in their brain, and suddenly they can't... Even if it isn't her, they're like, yeah, that's her.
tim pool
And people were actually arguing that it was her, but she got plastic surgery.
lydia smith
I swear to God.
tim pool
Yeah, they were like, it is her!
She just got a facelift.
And then a couple weeks later, she popped up again, and she looked normal.
Maybe that just wasn't her.
Like, rich, powerful politicians have body doubles, man.
adam crigler
Or maybe she just didn't sleep very well the night before.
tim pool
See, what people don't realize is that we actually have a whole studio double.
We've actually built an entire studio.
So the address, so people have been posting my address.
And they've actually got it wrong.
That's the dummy address where the fake dummy, the clone studio is.
And we hired a body double for Adam, for me, for Lydia, even Betsy and Bucko, the cats.
Who?
adam crigler
Boku.
tim pool
Betsy and Bucko.
So when you come back and look through the window, you'll see what looks like our show.
But we're actually in an undisclosed location.
unidentified
Underground.
tim pool
Yeah, because we have to do it there.
Okay, so there's actually something funny here.
North Korean defectors say sorry after false Kim Jong-un speculation.
What are you kidding me dude?
unidentified
Wait what?
tim pool
Mm-hmm.
So apparently some defectors were reporting like, hey this is happening.
And now that it turns out it's not happening, they're like, oops.
Whoopsie.
adam crigler
Yeah.
Do you think they just really wanted it to happen?
tim pool
I don't know.
Maybe our dreams.
A former senior North Korean diplomat has apologized for saying Kim Jong-un was probably so ill he could not stand, days before he emerged on state media smoking and walking briskly at an event attended by hundreds of officials.
I mean, this photo looks like him.
I gotta be honest.
adam crigler
Yeah, that right there.
Can you zoom in on that?
tim pool
I can't.
adam crigler
No?
unidentified
No.
adam crigler
Because it does kind of look like him, but at the same time, his eyes look a little different.
His teeth do look different here.
I can see a gap from this distance.
tim pool
You know what's funny?
adam crigler
It looks a little different.
tim pool
You know what the funny thing about this is?
If it turns out it's not really Kim Jong-un, it proves that all of these people who thought he was are racist.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
CNN, they're experts.
Everybody who said it's not a conspiracy, that's clearly him.
What is that?
So you think us Koreans all look the same, huh?
Is that what you're saying?
adam crigler
But it's a body double!
I'm kidding!
tim pool
Alright, and then, uh, for some reason, maybe to, like, pretend, like, they're proving he's alive, they started shooting at South Korea?
So this, this was, uh, um, what was the story?
This is from May 2nd.
North Korea's Kim did not have surgery, South says, as shots fired at DMZ.
adam crigler
So apparently they're like- They shot at him and they're like, wait, wait, wait, okay, you're alive, you're alive.
tim pool
Right, right, right.
adam crigler
Like, what?
tim pool
Maybe that's what they're trying to argue, like, but he ordered us to shoot at you.
lydia smith
Literally.
unidentified
What is this?
tim pool
The government official declined to provide reasons, but said speculative reports that Kim had an operation citing some differences in his leg movements were untrue.
You know, man.
adam crigler
Leg movements?
What?
Where's that coming from?
tim pool
It was too juicy a story for everybody.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You know, TMZ, and admittedly, like, when I saw the news, like, I couldn't ignore it.
Everybody got roped in.
adam crigler
Didn't TMZ start this whole thing?
unidentified
No.
adam crigler
Oh, I thought they were the first people to, like, report on it.
No, I think it was CNN.
tim pool
No, CNN said he was, like, missening.
He was missing or something.
Missening.
He was missening.
Now he was gone.
So, you know, the big concern is it might destabilize the region.
adam crigler
That's what I was expecting.
tim pool
Kind of going back to the way we were just talking about with politics, the really scary thing, really annoying thing for me, is that Donald Trump said something positive about Kim Jong-un and he gets dragged for it.
And I'm like, Dude, do these people understand what tact is?
They accuse the president of having none, and then when he tries to have some, they say, how dare you?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Dude, he doesn't give you the time of day, but he's giving this man the time of day because he's trying to avoid a nuclear war.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Because China has their back.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
I don't know what you expect a man to do.
It's the stupidest thing.
adam crigler
Yeah, I agree.
tim pool
Like, I can sit here and rag on Trump for the missile strike in Syria, the Yemen stuff, Saudi Arabia stuff, all day and night.
I do it a lot.
I bring it up.
It's like a main point.
But North Korea thing was not a bad thing.
Trying to talk people down and bring them into the fold is a good thing.
I mean, even if he was able to get Iran to do it, it would be amazing.
So you've got this rogue state that's like, we're building nukes.
We're going to blow stuff up.
We want free stuff.
If you can convince them to normalize trade and just become, like, a regular trade partner.
adam crigler
A regular country, yeah.
tim pool
Then good!
War averted.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Instead, they're trying to sink the ship, like, every step of the way for Trump, like, he's flying this plane and they'd rather see the plane go into the ocean.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Well, I don't know what's gonna happen with this, but I'll tell you what.
There's a possibility in my mind, I mean, it's not him.
You've got other people saying the same thing.
It could just be that he's been out of the media so long they got desperate and they sent somebody out.
This photo from The Guardian, this one does look like Kim Jong-un.
The other photos are weird.
The other photos are really weird.
Maybe it's just really bad angles.
Teeth look different though, you know?
lydia smith
It's the teeth, yeah.
That's what gets me.
tim pool
And the hairline.
lydia smith
You can't change it that fast.
adam crigler
And the ears, they're flat.
They're not out like... I don't know.
tim pool
You guys should be getting older.
And there's older photos.
Some of the photos are new though, so... I don't know, man.
They say Daily NK, a Seoul-based news outlet with sources inside North Korea, had reported in April that Kim was recovering from a cardiovascular procedure.
You know what it could be?
Maybe he is recovering, and then maybe it's in a body double to, like, dispel rumors that he died.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Because he wasn't strong enough.
adam crigler
I think he's just playing video games.
lydia smith
That's possible.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
He's lazy.
tim pool
It's gonna be fun.
You know what's funny?
There's probably some, like, 11-year-old playing, like, Fortnite.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Against him.
adam crigler
Uh-huh.
tim pool
Could you imagine, like, him sitting there, just, like, all angry, playing against some kid gets beaten.
He's like, argh!
He's, like, yelling and banging on stuff.
adam crigler
Sounds like a South Park episode.
He's probably playing against Cartman.
tim pool
I've heard this from some journalists who have been to North Korean stuff, that he was raised, he was educated in the West, and he's very much a fan of Western things.
That's why Dennis Rodman was able to go in and bring the Vice people there.
And so I really wonder what his goal is.
Like, maybe he's surrounded by these military leaders who are like, the status quo must be maintained.
Okay.
adam crigler
But Seeker, he's like, I want to be part of the world.
tim pool
I don't know what I'm saying, he does, but what's the worst thing for these people?
Why are they so resistant to it?
Yeah.
Here's what I don't get, like, isn't there some kind of deal you could negotiate with them where it's like, we will guarantee that you maintain your wealth status and administrative control, but we normalize trade, we open things up, we bring in more resources.
I guess the problem is the conflict.
Like, they shoot, they fire nukes, so we're like, we're not gonna give you stuff if you're just gonna keep doing this.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So the only option is to get rid of them.
Like, to depose them, but they're not gonna leave, so we're at a stalemate.
It's too bad!
We got tons of deep-dish pizza that Kim Jong-Un could be eating.
And he looks like a guy who would like some pizza!
lydia smith
He does, yes.
tim pool
Kim.
You unify the peninsula and give up your dictatorial powers, you'll have all the pizza in the world.
You know there's, in South Korea, they have a Chicago pizza restaurant?
adam crigler
Do they really?
tim pool
Yeah, and they have a thing called like, it's called like black pizza or something.
adam crigler
I'm sorry, what?
tim pool
Black pizza.
adam crigler
Go ahead.
tim pool
It's got like a black ink squid ink sauce.
unidentified
Oh God.
tim pool
Yeah, something like that.
I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.
I remember seeing that.
adam crigler
That sounds disgusting.
tim pool
No, you can't taste it.
adam crigler
Yeah, I'm still disgusted.
tim pool
It's just like, it's just like, but it's called- I think I'm good.
A Chicago pizza and it's in, I can't remember what district it's in.
adam crigler
Yeah, no thanks.
tim pool
But yeah, it could be all yours, Kim.
Imagine walking and getting that big ol' deep dish.
You've never had deep dish, have you?
With jardinière on it?
adam crigler
Do you really think he watches our show?
tim pool
I'm kidding!
I wouldn't be surprised if he's had deep dish, though.
Just because people look at North Korea and they think everyone there because they're all starving.
Nah, that dude's fat for a reason.
He probably gets Italian ice cream gelato made on the spot, then overnighted in a cooler with dry ice to his mansion in North Korea.
Yeah.
All right, well, how about we do this?
Let's jump over to some Super Chats.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
lydia smith
Super Chats!
tim pool
But the next story we have, we're gonna rag on New York because people are apparently complaining.
adam crigler
And we were both New Yorkers for a long time, so we're allowed.
Oh, right.
We're allowed to rag on New York.
tim pool
Absolutely.
adam crigler
I lived there for 16 years.
I can rag on New York.
tim pool
It's not sidious.
adam crigler
And I will.
Yeah, I will.
tim pool
But there's 16,000 deaths in New York, but thousands of people are showing up and they're defying the lockdown orders.
So we'll talk about that.
But for now, we will jump to the Super Chat.
So if you have not already, You can go in the super chat, you can comment, and then we will do our best to read your comments.
We're going to start now.
Also, make sure you can see my name.
Look at that.
I can actually point to it right now.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
tim pool
There's TimCast.
There's Adam.
adam crigler
It's way up there.
tim pool
Oh, look.
I can reach it.
Make sure to follow us.
You can follow me on Instagram and Twitter and Adam as well.
But you can also send Adam story ideas.
We actually read them.
That's how we actually work.
adam crigler
You guys seriously help me out so much.
There's so much support for me on Twitter.
You guys are sending me all these awesome stories all the time.
Really appreciate all you who are hitting me up with stories.
Thank you.
lydia smith
Great audience.
adam crigler
Really appreciate you guys.
tim pool
So I think, Cordo, I appreciate the question.
I don't think I can read that.
I don't think I can read the question.
Oh, no?
Yeah, not on YouTube.
We're already risking it.
adam crigler
You know what?
On that note, it's so nice to have you back, because every Super Chat, I think everyone was... We're trying to trick you?
No, no, no.
Everyone who stayed with AdamCast was awesome.
You guys were great.
Thank you for just chilling with me.
But all the Super Chats were legit with the stories, and I was so... I kept thinking, like, man, I really hope no one tries to trick me.
tim pool
What a mind.
Well, it's a legit question, right?
I'll try and paraphrase it because we got to be really careful.
They're asking if someone with a very infectious disease should be compelled by the government to tell their partners of their affliction, how is it different than COVID quarantine?
adam crigler
Oh, I see.
I think I know what they're asking.
Yeah, right.
Because in California, they don't have to anymore, right?
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Disclose certain information about certain things they have.
tim pool
But now you have to stay home.
It's like, California's really messed up.
adam crigler
Yeah.
unidentified
Alright.
tim pool
Drunk Shovel says, welcome back missing beanie brigade.
Well actually, when you were on the show with Nish, you were both wearing beanies too.
adam crigler
She was like, I gotta go get my beanie!
And I'm like, yes!
Ian was like, no beanie.
unidentified
Oh man.
tim pool
Wow, look at this.
Matthew Hammond says, Cuomo forced COVID-positive people to be accepted in New York nursing homes.
Is the media going to be forced to talk about this?
Welcome back, Lydia.
Yeah, probably not.
I love how broken the whole system is.
Oh, I'll also mention, hit the like button if you haven't already.
It really does help.
adam crigler
Please do.
tim pool
Luis Estrada says, excuse me, sir.
Who are you and why are you sitting on Adam's seat?
unidentified
Nice.
tim pool
This AdamCast IRL has been usurped.
No!
adam crigler
I lost my power.
tim pool
Hey man, I was thinking that it's such a shame that no third parties have stepped up to the plate.
Well, Justin and Mash is going to run as an independent.
adam crigler
Oh yeah, an independent.
tim pool
And that's going to be one of the most abysmal... Oh man.
I'm sorry, I was wrong.
Libertarian.
adam crigler
All I had to say was, who?
unidentified
Wait, who?
Who?
tim pool
He's trying to run as a libertarian.
Like, who do you think you're going to get?
You think you're going to split Trump's base from the Republican Party?
Yeah, no.
You're going to get the tiny minority of never-Trumpers.
No, I'm sorry, you're not even going to get them because they're on board for Biden.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Like whenever Trumpers are voting for Biden, who are you trying to get to vote for you, man?
You know what it is?
adam crigler
He just wanted his name in the media for a little bit.
tim pool
It's because he's going to lose his seat.
unidentified
Oh.
adam crigler
He knows he's going to lose what he already has.
tim pool
Well, because no one's going to check the box for independent in his district.
They're going to check R or D. Right.
So he knows he's going to lose, so he's trying to go out with a bang.
They're saying that AOC might run a primary against Schumer in New York.
Oh yeah, that's right.
adam crigler
I heard about that.
tim pool
And I think this is partly because if she does, she knows she'll lose.
Her primary is coming up in, I think, what, one month?
adam crigler
Right, and she actually has someone that might take her seat.
tim pool
Michelle Caruso Cabrera.
Reagan Democrat kind of moderate.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So she's like this this woman Michelle Krista Cabrera is very clearly a
Democrat.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Very clearly got progressive values.
But boy does she come off as sane.
And she's being attacked for being conservative.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because apparently like she wrote a book.
adam crigler
Conservative Democrats.
I like the sound of that.
unidentified
Interesting.
adam crigler
They've existed.
It sounds great.
tim pool
So she wrote a book where she said, like, less government spending and bloat and exploitation and stuff.
And it was like very rational, moderate, urban, Democrat sounding stuff.
I didn't read the book.
But compared to like AOC, I'm willing to bet people are going to flock to her in the primary.
We'll see, though.
We'll see.
AOC became a celebrity, so who knows.
But Ocasio-Cortez knows that she might lose the primary, so what does she do?
If she launches a primary against Schumer, she can say, oh, well, I'm not even running for Congress now.
And she might get it because she's a celebrity.
So we'll see.
Hey Zeus says, glad to have the band back together.
Always a fun listen while on the zero turn.
Beanie squad, you know it.

Damien Medic says, two dollars simply for saying casting couch.
Casting couch.
Wolfsbane says, hey Tim and Lydia, just finished watching Apocalypse Now before watching your stream.
Hope you are well rested from your trip.
It was great.
The van is amazing.
It is amazing.
adam crigler
It's a cool van.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah.
But we tried to limit all contact, so we just stopped at gas stations.
We didn't do anything interesting or go anywhere.
King Canuck says, welcome back, Tim.
Why are you hosting AdamCast?
How dare you?
That is the chair of Soy Jesus.
Super chat sent at 8.01.
Nice camera setup.
Have a good one.
Nice.
adam crigler
I love this.
tim pool
But there was also Ian, who is also kind of a Soy Jesus.
adam crigler
Yeah.
lydia smith
An acolyte.
adam crigler
Cosmic Garth, actually.
tim pool
Cosmic Garth.
adam crigler
After a few episodes, they rested on Cosmic Garth.
And it's great.
lydia smith
I love it.
adam crigler
It fits him so well.
lydia smith
Oh, I like that.
adam crigler
Because he's pretty out there.
tim pool
Yeah.
lydia smith
We love Ian.
tim pool
to be in.
Zerocifer says, Hey Tim, I wanted to address something you say commonly about principles
and quitting work.
I am with you and always stood my ground or left, but now I have three kids to take care
of.
If I still followed your advice, I feel that would be more selfish.
I hear that.
And as someone who doesn't have a family, I can understand my limited perspective on
the issue.
But when I look at all of these, you've got a combination of real life stories and fictional
stories about how family is always the tool where people are exploited by government and
people in power and criminals and, and, and, you know, uh, kidnappers and stuff.
It's always about targeting what they think can make you weak.
This is why the United States doesn't pay terrorists ransom after they kidnap Americans.
This is why if somebody in the Middle East kidnaps an American, the only promise you will get is the State Department unleashing a bunch of Blackhawk helicopters where a bunch of dudes drop out with guns and take you out and everyone around you.
Because as soon as they say, oh please don't hurt our citizens, we'll pay you anything, they keep doing it.
So here's what I've always said.
If you want to come after me, fine, bring it on.
You come after my family, you're not going to make me flinch at all.
Sorry.
I'll take those risks, but I'm not going to create that vulnerability for myself.
So I've actually had friends get mad at me for saying that.
They're like, what?
unidentified
What?
tim pool
And I'm like, dude, if I went around saying like, you could get to me through other people, that's the first thing people would do every single time.
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
Now I get it.
People are talking about work and standing up for yourself.
I'd still do it.
I'd go live in the woods and I'd grow food and I'd hunt wild boar before I would give in to any of these lunatic authoritarians.
Maybe it's a pipe dream.
Maybe it's big talk.
Maybe it wouldn't be as easy.
So maybe I'm wrong.
But I'm sure I probably can't know for sure because I don't have a family.
So to all of you who actually have one, you're probably saying you wouldn't understand and that's probably true.
I can only say that, huh?
Heywood, so last name Jab Lomé, says, here's your F in a chat.
Thank you.
adam crigler
Yes.
tim pool
Respect.
S. Gravoise says, keep going, Tim.
Appreciate it.
I'm just going to pronounce all these names wrong because I can see people trying to, you know, get me to say stuff.
adam crigler
Yep.
I just read it.
I love it.
tim pool
No, YouTube will nuke the channel.
adam crigler
Oh, their names alone?
Oh, that kind of mispronunciation.
unidentified
Yes!
lydia smith
Yeah, because they send in names that are not nice.
tim pool
This name would trigger one of the demonetizations.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
Yeah!
lydia smith
Come on, guys.
tim pool
Are you serious?
lydia smith
Have a heart.
tim pool
Suggestive statements on YouTube are an instant demonetization and deranking.
adam crigler
Terrible people.

Terrible.

Really? South Island? That's like nobody lives there.
Everybody lives in the North Island, I'm pretty sure. Chuck Morris says, Tim Jong Pool, our
beloved leader, is back. Don't you know it? N.S. Greeny says, awesome news.
We have... Did I show the jam cam already?
Loved your episode with Joe. Here's $5 of my extra money to spend.
Hope my stocks grow. Any new plans for the show?
We moved to a bigger, brighter, better area.
We have... did I show the jam cam already? I did, right?
lydia smith
I don't think you did.
tim pool
I called it the casting couch.
adam crigler
Yeah, the casting couch.
tim pool
So this is preliminary.
We've still got to do art stuff.
We've still got to do some design stuff.
We can actually change the color of the lights in this room.
It's really great.
And now we can actually have live music.
This is deceptive.
We actually have a big studio mixer set up so we can do pianos and like guitar, bass, drums, and maybe even violin at some point.
So, you know, we'll see how things play out.
Benito says, the team is back together.
The band is back together.
lydia smith
Yeah, man.

Alan Robertson says, love you Tim and Adam and the nameless woman.
No, that's Lydia.
lydia smith

adam crigler
She's got a name.
And a face.
lydia smith
I even have an at.
Look at that.
adam crigler
Sour Patch Lids.
You can follow her.
Boom, you can actually see her tag now.
tim pool
Now, I know we have it on display, but for those that are listening, it's Sour Patch Lids with a Y. L-Y-D-S.
Because the iTunes people might be like, how do you spell it?
lydia smith
As in Lydia.
tim pool
Lidia.
Fuse Magazine says, we miss you.
Glad you are back.
Appreciate it.
Saint Grizzly says, please make a t-shirt that has a beanie logo and a quote.
Harumph, I say.
I will buy it.
There is a shirt with a beanie on it.
adam crigler
I don't see it anywhere, but I think it's in the kitchen.
tim pool
It doesn't say, harumph, I say.
I don't know how to link.
Oh, it's in the link display.
It's in the link.
Click the link below.
lydia smith
Teespring link.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's there.
tim pool
So I made a joke shirt.
that I was really proud of the graphic. It's the left-wing revolution fist and it's holding a bike
lock and it says liberals get the bike lock too. And the story of this is that in, I think it was
Berkeley, someone wrote, you know, liberals get the bullet too on the wall. And then after that
dude went up the bike lock and bashed people, I jokingly took the revolution fist, put a bike
lock in it and wrote, you know, liberals get the bike lock too. It's meant to be satire.
I got in trouble and I got my merchandising pulled from my channel briefly because of it.
They didn't say anything because they don't have a strike implementation for like breaking the rules, I guess, but it just vanished one day.
And so I got some Some words from someone at Google that wasn't bad, but gave me a hint, hint, nudge, nudge, get rid of that, it looks like a call to violence, and I was like, alright, alright, got rid of it.
I think it's still up, though, I don't know.
adam crigler
I don't remember seeing it.
I saw that skateboard, though.
tim pool
Yeah, I have a skateboard of it.
A bunch of people bought them.
I went to an event and people were wearing them.
adam crigler
Seriously?
lydia smith
I'd have bought that.

Arturo says, CNN says Kim's back.
They do like their tyrants.
Nope, absolutely.
Alan McGowan says, finally Soycast is over.
Welcome back, Tim.
lydia smith
Soycast.
We are so appreciative that Adam held it down for us.
We left on a dime, dude.
tim pool
Yeah, we left.
So what happened was David Pakman reached out to me and said, would you be interested in doing like a thing with like you, me, and Joe and we talk politics?
And I thought that'd be really cool because, you know, we disagree.
And I'm sure David thought he would, you know, have a bunch of really good points, and so did I. But then, with the lockdown, it couldn't happen, so at the very last minute, like a week out, I hit up Joe, and I was like, so, are we gonna do anything?
Cause like, I'm not interested in doing Skype, to be honest.
like I would appreciate the opportunity but I think it's like we do a real show
where we don't and you know Joe said hey man if you want to come down I'm still
down but you got to consider like isolation lockdown social distancing and
I was like right that's the problem not only that if I flew that will be a ton
of contact between people we probably don't want because we want to be
responsible but also they could cancel the flight and then I was like but I do
have that van and he was like I mean yeah if you're down that'd be cool
And I'm like, I'll do it.
I'm gonna hop in the van right now.
I'm gone.
And then we hopped in the van and we took off.
adam crigler
I think I believe it.
I believe it was an hour and 12 minutes before.
Oh, I guess I should back up a little bit.
There we go.
Yeah, it was an hour and 12 minutes before the Monday show that I did.
I was just like, well, I'm just going to do the show, whatever.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
And AdamCast was born.
tim pool
I was like, bro, I'm getting in the van.
I'm gone.
It's AdamCast now.
No, actually, I didn't put that.
You put AdamCast.
adam crigler
I did, yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, you were like, Adam Kass.
adam crigler
Adam Kass.
I left Tim Kass IRL, but then I followed it by Adam Kass.
I was like, this is my Kass now.
lydia smith
Yeah, man.
tim pool
All right, let's read some more of these here superchats.
adam crigler
I had a good time.
lydia smith
I had a good time.
Oh, sorry, my bae.
tim pool
James Wilson says, Tim, I've been donating to timkass.com slash donate for over a year now, and I'm curious, should I stop donating there and move that to joining this channel, IOT, watch the streams, I cannot view, I don't know what IOT stands for, wait, and joining this channel?
Uh, no, YouTube takes a ton of money if you join this channel, and I also want to make sure it's clear, like, this show is an entirely separate entity from my personal content, so the contributions you put here, if you're so inclined and would rather do it, contribute to everybody.
And if you go to TimCast.com slash donate, it's for, like, my individual channel, so...
adam crigler
So donate here is what he's saying.
tim pool
Yeah.
Well, just what you should consider is that, uh, the Timcast.com slash donate.
I get like, I think, like, I think PayPal takes like one to 2% and YouTube takes 35.
So just, you know, do what you want to do.
Like, look, if you guys are willing to, to, to donate, to help support the content, do it however you see fit.
You know, these are, these are troubling times.
So I certainly wouldn't want anyone to give up money if, you know, if you can.
Holly Movie Star says, Kurt Russell, Escape from New York was a documentary.
Or Division.

iGuy says, I send the locust on the wind, such as the world has never seen, on every stalk of every leaf, until there's nothing left of green.
I send the swarm, I send the horde, thus saith the Lord.

Well spoken.

Kyle Miller says, Tim, how would you feel if Trump activated Directive 51 due to C-19 and announced in a Palpatine-like speech that he is reforming the U.S.
into the U.S.
Empire, then declares war on China for C-19?
I would not be happy.
adam crigler
No?
tim pool
But I gotta admit, how epic would it be if Donald Trump was in a robe in a floating cylindrical platform in the Senate going, China has taken an attempt on my life, leaving me scarred and deformed.
Leaving me scarred and deformed.
I am reforming the U.S.
unidentified
into the first American empire.
lydia smith
How do you combine those two dudes?
How do you make that sound?
tim pool
China!
Do it.
Do it.
I don't know.
adam crigler
That was pretty good.
tim pool
Combining Palpatine and Trump.
adam crigler
Not bad.
tim pool
Someone should make that meme.
unidentified
I am reforming America into the first U.S.
tim pool
empire.
People are gonna love it.
It's the best.
We're the best empire.
Sure.
David Campbell says, is Kim still alive? Just like Cuomo stayed in quarantine?
adam crigler
Yeah, sure.
tim pool
DarkRenji says, welcome back Timothy my guy.
Question to a question though.
Why do you tell people to check out your other channel, Timcast, when the video is already on Timcast?
Because it's not.
This is a how YouTube has set it up.
I have two channels.
I have YouTube.com slash TimCastNews and I have YouTube.com slash TimCast.
So I've actually started to try clarifying this now because people don't realize, because the channel name says TimCast, I don't know why it says that, the channel is actually called TimCastNews.
They don't realize that if you type YouTube.com slash TimCast, it's a completely different channel.
Yeah.
So I have to, like, somehow... I don't know why that is.
Don't look at me.
YouTube did that.
adam crigler
The more you know.
tim pool
Because they changed my original channel to Tim Pool because of Google+, and then deleted Google+.
And now it's left as Tim Pool, and then for some reason the other channel turned into TimCast when it's TimCast News.
I have no idea.
lydia smith
What the heck?
tim pool
Like, this one's TimCast IRL, and the other one is TimCast News, but they got rid of it for some reason.
unidentified
Ah, YouTube.
Don't ask me.
tim pool
YouTube time.
Thank you, YouTube.
Look, you know, I had... It really is telling, isn't it?
Thank you for the super chat.
Graf von Tyrol says Democrats wanted Trump to be the tyrant.
They accuse him of doing all the time to handle the virus.
This litmus test proved he's a pretty poor tyrant, but boy do the Dems love abusing power.
Look, you know, I had somebody that I've known for a long time, like post on Facebook that
I was biased or something.
And I'm like, Trump and Bill Barr are complaining about the lockdown.
For whatever reason, I don't know.
I don't care.
I'm not going to speculate as to their motivation.
But, right, they're defending the Constitution.
You don't have the right to tell people they can't have a party.
Like, in Chicago, they said they're going to start arresting, jailing people who have parties.
The First Amendment says peaceably assemble.
It doesn't say for why.
If I want assemble to talk about, you know, I don't know, Kim Kardashian or Drake, Whatever the reason.
adam crigler
Random.
tim pool
Allowed to do it.
What's the point?
Like people who are partying aren't talking about politics.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
They're talking about celebrity whatever and music and stuff.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
They have a right to do so.
adam crigler
I agree.
tim pool
So you can ask them.
You can say, please don't do this.
And if they want to do it, you can't do nothing about it.
adam crigler
And it's the Democrat states.
tim pool
It is!
It's like, dude, I'm not making it up.
The Democrats are doing this.
It's not biased.
They're literally doing it.
The only difference is that I disagree with them doing it.
So people are like, oh, but you're pro-right wing.
It's like, well, I'm pro-Constitution.
The right happens to be defending it.
What do you want me to say to that?
adam crigler
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
It's like I'm not talking about their policy on life and choice.
Wash Your Hand says, the real question is, did you two share a bed in the van down by the river?
The van actually has three different sleeping arrangements.
adam crigler
Boom.
tim pool
Yeah, this was, the plan for the van was to actually have a full staff, well, three, maybe even four people if one person wants to sleep in the swivel chair uncomfortably.
But we have a cool setup.
It's a foam thing that comes out.
It's a cot.
Well, you know what I'm talking about.
adam crigler
Yeah, I've seen it.
tim pool
Yeah, the dude, Neil, who designed it.
Very clever feller.
There's a storage bin with a big, like, it's a big bench seat, but you can lift it up, slide it out, and a piece comes down, and then you've got like an eight foot long cot.
It's amazing.
adam crigler
But you didn't answer the question.
tim pool
The answer is no, and we had hotels, too.
lydia smith
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
We had it covered.
adam crigler
We had it covered.
tim pool
Aaron Garcia says... No, I thought the first thing I said was no.
We have three Sydney Arrangers.
adam crigler
We're just poking at you.
tim pool
Aaron Garcia says, glad you're back.
Appreciate it.
Michelle M says, Comet, Brendan, and Struck should be charged with treason.
Who's Comet?
lydia smith
Comey.
tim pool
Call me!
unidentified
Oh.
lydia smith
Comment.
tim pool
Yes, the T and the Y are next to each other.
I was like, is that a reference to that pizza place?
lydia smith
No.
tim pool
Jeremiah says, I am actively timestamping this one right now.
Soy Jesus, did you try making vegan Herbwurst yet?
adam crigler
No.
tim pool
Was it Herbswurst?
adam crigler
Herbswurst.
tim pool
Also, Tim X Lydia Shippers, stop please, it's bad.
Yeah.
lydia smith
Please, please no.
adam crigler
No, I, uh, yeah, this person super chat us, uh, last week sometime talking about it's, it's made from, I forget, peas.
It's, it's some sort of, uh, just herbs and peas and something like that.
It's like, it's basically sausage, but vegan sausage, but you make it yourself.
It sounds really good.
I remember that super chat.
I haven't tried it yet, but I definitely am interested.
Thanks for reminding me.
tim pool
I decided today to, uh, cut out dairy.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
Yeah, Adam's super excited.
adam crigler
I'm very happy.
tim pool
Well, it's because when we were on the trip, they have these coffees.
I actually have one.
Let me grab it.
lydia smith
Wait.
tim pool
Product placement?
We went to a gas station.
unidentified
They're gross.
tim pool
Well, I'm not sponsored, but you don't like them?
adam crigler
I don't like Monsters.
tim pool
It's Oat Milk Monster, and I was like, this is really good because it tastes like a bowl of oatmeal, like cinnamon brown sugar oatmeal.
lydia smith
It is good.
tim pool
And so then I was like, we actually have oat milk here because I also think it's delicious.
And I was like, well, you know what, man?
It's not, it's not a vegan thing.
Sorry, Adam.
It's just like... That's okay.
Yeah, I'm just kind of like... I'm partially lactose intolerant.
adam crigler
I'm still happy about it.
tim pool
Probably part Asian in me, actually.
And so I was thinking... I was watching a video by Neen, actually.
adam crigler
You just love slipping that in there.
What?
tim pool
Partial Asian?
adam crigler
Yep.
lydia smith
Partially Asian.
tim pool
But this is legitimate.
adam crigler
No, no, no.
lydia smith
Yeah, that actually is racially connected.
adam crigler
Oh, no, I get it.
I get it, thanks.
tim pool
We mentioned him before, Neen Williams, pro skateboarder.
He did a video with Chipotle, and he was talking about his moderate-protein-fat, low-carb diet.
And he's a super health-fitness pro skater dude.
And I saw this ad, and I saw him eating this food, and I was like, Yeah, man.
I gotta cut out the dairy.
adam crigler
Yeah, man.
tim pool
It's too much.
adam crigler
I would rather eat meat again than have dairy in my diet.
tim pool
Well, I'm not cutting out meat.
adam crigler
For sure.
tim pool
But I figured it's better to get more leafy greens, eat healthier.
Because look, when we're on this trip, it's a combination of things.
We went on this trip across the country, you eat trash.
Dude, the garbage we put in our mouths.
It was awful.
lydia smith
Is that though?
tim pool
Like we would go to some places and it's like let's try and eat better and what do they have?
They have like these, you ever see those gross sandwiches at gas stations?
adam crigler
Yes.
tim pool
Yeah and it's like.
adam crigler
I don't miss those.
tim pool
Here's the funny thing.
They're cut in triangles.
unidentified
Really?
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it's like two triangle pieces.
adam crigler
Oh yeah.
tim pool
And you can see the meat.
But it's very obvious when you open the bread that they had the bread and a machine went like it just plopped a sphere like a circle into the bread and then it mashed it.
adam crigler
That's so gross.
tim pool
I know!
And so, like, that was our choice.
We did have Subway.
Subway's great.
adam crigler
I like Subway, actually.
unidentified
It's consistent.
adam crigler
They've got really good vegan patties there, yummy.
unidentified
Oh, cool.
tim pool
Yeah, the mushroom ones, right?
They're, like, made of mushroom or something.
Yeah, I think it's mushroom.
adam crigler
Yeah, maybe.
tim pool
But, uh, man, the amount of bad food I ate.
And so I was thinking, like, what can I do better to eat better?
And then I was watching this thing with Neen, and he's, like, eating this fresh chipotle with, like, fresh chicken.
adam crigler
Chipotle's good, too.
tim pool
He puts the guac on it, and I'm like, You know what I want to do?
It's not like a paleo thing, but it kind of is a paleo thing.
Like, you know how paleo works, right?
adam crigler
A little bit.
tim pool
I'm still gonna eat bread and stuff, but I was just like, I could probably do better, you know what I mean?
Be more conscious about what I'm eating.
Anyway, herbs worst.
Yeah.
We'll see when you make it.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
Daniel Smith says, Joe tried to assassinate Tim with the water.
Oh, yeah.
adam crigler
It's true.
Yeah, tried to take you out.
tim pool
Hutch the Wolf says, Tim, I watched you on Rogan last week.
Enjoyed the talk about aliens.
Are there any plans to cover those topics or other conspiracy theories in this podcast anytime soon?
Actually, right now.
adam crigler
I really hope so.
tim pool
Actually, right now.
adam crigler
Are we about to?
tim pool
Yeah, we have it pulled up.
adam crigler
Oh, yeah, that's right.
tim pool
Yeah, we're gonna do the New York defying thing next.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
But we have Japan is preparing for official, you know, contact response or something.
adam crigler
What?
For aliens?
Yeah.
Oh, I didn't hear that.
tim pool
Well, no.
It's a UFO policy.
So we'll talk about it.
The aliens are coming.
I'm gonna tell you, man.
The aliens are coming.
And they're slower.
adam crigler
Finally.
tim pool
I said this.
Do you remember when I said this?
adam crigler
Yeah, I remember you said this.
tim pool
They slowly release information so that everyone gets bored with it.
Then when the Pentagon finally says, oh yeah, by the way, this is real, everyone's like, and?
We already knew that.
adam crigler
We knew that.
And you know, I said this last week.
I was like, we're not stupid.
Come on, people can handle it.
There's a lot of people that might not handle it, but I think the majority out there could be like, yeah, okay.
tim pool
You gotta do it carefully, though.
adam crigler
Sure.
tim pool
I'm not saying I actually think aliens are coming, I'm saying that, you know, it's a fun idea.
These are always fun ideas, you know, I don't know.
Let's see, Arturo says, are you going to make merch with Harumph, I say, and a beanie drawing?
Perhaps, or we'll make beanies.
But we're locked down, so.
Kevin Kevin says, ripped a homie, Kim was my sister.
Oof.
James Mayweather says, just wanted to say, glad to have you back, Tim and Lydia.
Also, Adam, did the show in an excellent fashion.
You two should be proud.
adam crigler
Thank you.
unidentified
Oh, nice.
adam crigler
Appreciate that.
tim pool
Thanks for the super chat.
Chuck Morris says, where was the ginger lass?
Missed her.
She's back.
I'm back.
The ginger lass.
Talbot Lynx says, if Cuomo runs it, it will end his career.
Too much drama in the family, and Trump knows the Cuomos.
For sure.
I agree.
unidentified
Probably.
tim pool
That's why.
You know, we'll see what happens.
Michael Conner says, Soy Jesus has been orange-pilled.
Now to orange-pill the beanie.
Also, lol to Hillary Obama ticket.
People still really hate her.
adam crigler
It's true.
tim pool
Dude, I can't believe somebody would even write that.
It's like, what are you thinking, man?
Don't do it.
Just stop.
Just put the pen down.
adam crigler
Yeah, stop it, please.
tim pool
TheBuzzCJC says, HA Goodman has been saying for the past year that Hillary will get drafted.
I believe this is most likely.
You know, man, I'd love to see it.
And I gotta admit, it would be funny if she did win.
adam crigler
People really do hate her though, still.
I know, man.
How?
I think it would hurt the Democrats more if they did that.
tim pool
Yeah, the Bernie people were blindsided by Biden sweeping Michigan because Bernie won last time.
Right.
unidentified
Because they hated Hillary.
adam crigler
Hillary probably knew that.
That's why she waited till now to get slipped into the ticket.
tim pool
Make it a last minute.
adam crigler
She couldn't do it legitimately.
tim pool
Because if she ran in the primary, the hit pieces would be sweeping like crazy.
So this is her chance to get in without all of the negative press in the lead up.
They want to avoid an email scandal.
Yeah.
And so if no one sees it coming, right now Trump and his campaign can't target Hillary.
She's immune.
She's not running.
And if they draft at the very last minute, what's he going to do?
She wants it.
She thinks she deserves it.
adam crigler
They don't have to do anything.
He's going to debate Biden and it's going to be over.
tim pool
Or they'll swap him out.
Great.
What if they swapped out Biden for Hillary, like, a day before?
adam crigler
Then I would absolutely, 100% vote for Trump.
lydia smith
That would seal the deal, huh?
adam crigler
I'm dead serious.
That's not democracy.
tim pool
It's funny, because even, like, in 2016, I did not have that mentality.
I was like, I'm not gonna vote for either of them.
I don't care, you know?
Today, I'd probably rather vote for Trump over... You know what it is?
That Trump actually proved himself.
As much as the left doesn't want to admit it, any compliment of Trump is heresy.
It's like, dude, the economy was doing really well.
Just stop playing games, man.
You can criticize a guy for wasting money on the wall if you think he wasted money, but that didn't really impact most people.
You want to complain about spending?
This is what I don't get.
They're like, Donald Trump is wasting our money on this pointless wall.
Let's print more money and not open the economy back up.
It's like, who's wasting more money?
You're just printing it and throwing it into the air.
Like, at least the wall made some sense.
Like, I understand.
I'm in favor of the stimulus too, but like, come on, let's be real.
Like, you're disrupting the economy, keeping it shut down longer than it needs to be.
Alright, here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna start speeding things up, so I apologize if we miss your super chat.
But we have many.
And they are just coming and coming.
So, a handy redneck says, That's what I was saying!
But the back and forth camera swaps need to go. The old format with both in shot seemed more natural for
conversation.
The back and forth might as well be Skype.
adam crigler
That's what I was saying!
tim pool
But we have the exact same setup.
adam crigler
Well, this shot is a little different.
And people have been talking about it.
Some people love this shot.
Some people hate this shot.
Because it is different.
unidentified
I don't know.
adam crigler
I don't mind it.
tim pool
Get used to it.
We did the same swaps last time.
We didn't really change it.
We're doing the same thing.
adam crigler
Yeah, well, we're both in the shot.
We're chatting.
tim pool
We're chatting Dwayne Thompson says I've heard a story the de Blasio changed his name
I think you drove by my house in Amarillo or who else who else is thinking mini Tim? No, no
Justin for says Can get can PM banned? Oh, yeah Canadian PM banned all AR
1510 variants AWS and certain caliber semi rifles bypassed Parliament by
using OIC like an EO 150 to 250k rifles banned.
Owners could have to hand over their guns.
The shooter was not licensed.
And there's a viral video right now where Trudeau is like, we're never gonna take away your guns.
It'll never happen.
And then he literally does it.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Daniel Ashley says, the inability to pull out in time runs in the Biden family.
unidentified
Woo!
tim pool
Spicy.
Gary Richard says, I'm literally paying you to switch your seats back.
Oh, you don't like that we've flipped now?
adam crigler
It is the opposite.
lydia smith
It's confusing.
adam crigler
It is kind of funny.
Although my shot is almost the same because... Right.
Well, I mean, you were there, so we were...
Yeah, I guess it's just flipped.
Yeah, I guess it is.
Yeah, exact inversion.
lydia smith
Love it.
tim pool
LaSalle Rhymes says, Adam, you did great filling in, I'm assuming you mean for Tim.
W, welcome back, Tim.
Appreciate it.
adam crigler
Thank you very much.
I had a lot of fun.
tim pool
Nonservium says, does anybody else feel it's a violation of someone's rights to ban them off every platform and not let them speak against major corporations badmouthing them?
Feeling bad for gay frogs.
I heard something about Laura Loomer suing.
Did you hear about this?
adam crigler
No.
tim pool
So this is really clever.
adam crigler
Who's Laura Loomer?
tim pool
So she is a very high profile conservative personality.
I don't know what the right word is for it.
She's bombastic.
You don't think so?
I want to say ostentatious.
lydia smith
She's bombastic.
tim pool
No, no, not even.
lydia smith
You don't think so?
tim pool
No, uh-uh.
That's not the right word for it.
She's very present.
Okay.
She's like very loud, very active, and very aggressive, and very proud.
Like she was gaining followers like crazy.
She was, look man, I know a lot of people don't like her, and a lot of people really like her.
None of that matters to me.
What matters is that she was very effective.
She knew how to get press.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Like she chained herself to Twitter's doors and was like trending on Twitter.
Yeah, and that's why, I think that's one of the reasons they had to get rid of her because she really, really knew how to manipulate the press.
adam crigler
Wait, she chained herself to their actual- The doors of Twitter HQ.
So she was trending literal and figuratively on Twitter.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
That's great.
tim pool
On Twitter.
Well, so what's happening now is she's running for Congress.
And so they filed an FEC complaint arguing that by banning her from Twitter and not giving her a chance to campaign, they're giving free in-kind donations to her opponent.
And so because of equal time laws and like, you know, donation rules.
adam crigler
They brought her back?
tim pool
No, they didn't bring her back.
adam crigler
She's suing.
Oh, they didn't?
Oh, that's where she's suing.
tim pool
I think she is.
I think I saw this.
I could be wrong, but it's very, very clever because, I mean, I gotta be honest, I think she's right 100%.
You don't gotta like her, but the fact that they're removing someone who's running for office and then giving free access on social media to their opponent, we cannot have that.
And so we've had the equal time law, like if SNL wants to have the Republican, they gotta have the Democrat or whatever.
Yeah, why not Twitter and Facebook?
The precedent has to be set.
I think she might win.
lydia smith
Okay, so we were talking about this in November, I think, and they actually dismissed the case that she brought against the Twitter for their ban.
tim pool
Yeah, but this wasn't the FEC complaint, was it?
lydia smith
Oh, does she have a second one?
tim pool
Yeah, look up the FEC complaint.
This is the Federal Election Commission complaint.
Did you find it?
lydia smith
Complaint.
Oh, that was filed in January of this year.
Okay.
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
So she's attempted to sue before, that didn't work.
tim pool
Yeah, the lawsuit didn't make sense because they were like, it's a private company.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
But the FEC complaint is something totally different.
I'm not, I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know, but I think, I think your argument is correct.
lydia smith
Yeah, we'll see what happens.
tim pool
You know, it's not about politics.
lydia smith
Really curious.
tim pool
Let's read some more.
Let's read some more.
Maximum Casey says, quote, Tim Pool says he never takes his beanie off in the shower.
Am I a, quote, journalist yet?
lydia smith
Yep.
tim pool
Also, hello, Tim, Adam, and Lydia from Orange County, CA.
How's it going?
unidentified

3,000 or so people?
adam crigler
I saw it, yeah.
tim pool
Morph1 says, glad to see you on Rogan.
You kicked ass, as usual.
I think I mentioned it a few days before you left.
Then look forward to it all week when I heard the news.
Good job, man.
Keep it up with the great content.
Yeah, it was fun, man.
I love hanging out with Joe.
Time flies, because we're talking about all this stuff.
Before we even started the show, we started just talking, and then he had to like, stop, stop, stop, save it.
This is good.
And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We were talking about homeless crisis stuff, and a lot of stuff that never made it in, because there's not enough time.
lydia smith
That's how it works.

Elite says, I was playing Xbox one night, talked some serious ass, and got banned mid-sentence.
I was playing my local area, Seattle, maybe Gates himself.
I also played with Paul Walker and Selena Gomez.
Oh, that's cool.
People don't realize that if we say the wrong thing, the stream could be deleted instantly.
While we're streaming, it would just disappear.
adam crigler
But was he just playing?
And like, just a multiplayer game or something?
tim pool
Got banned mid-sentence.
adam crigler
Were you streaming?
tim pool
He was playing.
adam crigler
Just playing?
tim pool
Yeah, they do this.
Totally, man.
adam crigler
What?
tim pool
Yep.
adam crigler
Never heard of that before.
tim pool
Yep.
The Backpacking Trombonist says the CIA made uncannily realistic masks 30 or 40 years ago.
If a powerful person wanted an actual body double today, I doubt any of us would be, would really be able to tell the difference.
adam crigler
Probably.
tim pool
I mean, they can just digitally manipulate photos.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
That's the thing about the body doubles, like, they could have just edited his teeth.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You know?
So I don't know, man.
Maybe he's got bad teeth.
Eric says, do you think we'll see the biggest change in social justice, non-governmental like entertainment diversity, social justice governmental like reparations, to a bringing back trade and manufacturing?
Do you think we'll see the biggest change is?
I have no idea.
adam crigler
Yeah, same.
tim pool
Yeah.
Sorry, I can't answer it better, man.
Apologize.
Yeah, and he looked healthy.
says, he wouldn't be up and going that soon after having CPR and being resuscitated. His
sternum would have been broken from his rib cage and need to be wired back together. It's
a long recovery time after that.
adam crigler
Yeah, and he looked healthy.
tim pool
Yeah.
lydia smith
So I was thinking he had that mole on his wrist.
If they did a heart catheterization, they would go in through his wrist.
tim pool
And remove the mole?
lydia smith
No, it's not a mole.
Oh, they removed it!
I was thinking it was on the body double.
So-called body double.
adam crigler
No, he had the mole, and the body double didn't have a mole.
lydia smith
Interesting.
I was going to say, if there's stuff on his wrist, it might be from that heart procedure.
Because they're right, a full-on heart surgery is a broken sternum and weeks of recovery.
tim pool
All right, let's read some more.
What do we got here?
AlternativeJK says, welcome back Tim and Lydia.
You guys are correct.
Korean last names do go before the first names, which is common in Asian cultures.
Plus, want to give this Super Chat to Adam for being a great host.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
Thank you, Adam.
adam crigler
Appreciate that.
tim pool
And we just got the big jump.
Gotta love it when the Super Chat jumps like that.
And I'll try and figure out where we were.
I don't know.
Wow, that was a really big jump.
Gotta love YouTube.

Appreciate it.

Kevin says, the new Kim doesn't have killer eyes.
The old one does.
That's the difference.
The body double can't fake that.
You can't change the eyes.
Unfortunately, I recognize them.
adam crigler
The eyes did look different.
I was saying that.
Yeah.
tim pool
Trent says, Jacob Hornberger 2020.
I don't know who that is.
adam crigler
Same.
tim pool
Wow, that's actually a really good idea.
Because they'll erase you from the image.

Wow, that's actually a really good idea.
adam crigler
Because they'll erase you from the image.
tim pool
If you wear that shirt and someone films you and puts it on YouTube, they will remove the
video.
adam crigler
It works.
That's a good point.
tim pool
If I was a celebrity in Hollywood and paparazzi were after me, I would just put on a front, back, hat, pants, take a picture.
It's like, you can't put it up on the internet now because Google's going to remove it.
Facebook will too.

Nice.
tim pool
Yup.
That's amazing.
Creepy and clever.
Isaac says, welcome back from your extended date, you two.
Not happening.
Do you think that the DNC waters are too toxic for a popular person, given how much they've been running rampant and being insane?
Yeah, maybe.
Even if they got a good candidate, they're still toxified by the weird behavior and the weird ideologies embraced, open borders and stuff like that.
adam crigler
I don't know if it would... I don't recognize them as Democrats anymore.
tim pool
I don't know what they are.
adam crigler
They're not Democrats.
tim pool
I know.
Yeah.
adam crigler
It's not, it's not accurate.
tim pool
That's what, uh, I was talking to a friend and they got mad at me because I kept, I always make videos where I'm like, the Democrats did this, did this.
And they were like, when you say that you're referring to me.
And I was like, no, I'm not.
I was like, based on everything you've told me and you believe, you wouldn't be anything to do with them.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And they were like, well, then they changed.
And I'm like, well, congratulations.
They own the name.
Right.

I would like an independent review and all you take care.
She's the Planned Parenthood woman, right?

lydia smith
Margaret Singer?
Yep.
She was the original one.

Yeah, she was a eugenicist, I think.

It's Adam.
Trump's actually not that easy to impersonate.
I can impersonate him.
lydia smith
He's a unique voice.
tim pool
Well, he also has this weird like down, down turn.
And when he talks, like, it's like a down, it's a down tone unique to Trump and how he speaks.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And you've got to nail it.
And it's and it's really hard to get.
adam crigler

Also, how they are issuing false copyright strikes on videos discussing the leaks without
showing any of the leaked material.
I mean, maybe.
I just got back, so I haven't dug into it too much, but I'll take a look.
We'll see what happens.
Drunk Shovel says, Ebb's Worst is an old, portable pea soup.
You can eat it cold like a sausage or mix it into soup.
Oh, cool.
It usually has bacon and fat in it.

It lasts ages.
That's cool.
We should make some, totally.

Joey says, Tim, with what you and Joe were talking about, how the Ark was a ship from Venus, there is a theory going around now that AI will be what was referenced as the Antichrist.
Yeah, I guess Joe thought it was a silly idea until I started explaining what would happen if we sent a ship to Mars and how they would eventually lose touch with Earth if Earth collapsed, you know?

Thanks for keeping me entertained with your content.
Hopefully NZ finishes lockdown in the next two weeks.

Getting through COVID-19 here.
Zero ten would not recommend.

I wouldn't either.

Glad to see you're back.
Here's a donation towards your next cross-country.
Keep up the great work, guys.
Looking good.

Well, Lydia's always had her own camera.
Not always.
We actually set it up, but, you know, she's not been in the... It's just too wide of a shot.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
The room's not, you know, the room's too big.
DP says, please investigate Q and tell us about it.
There's a lot of interesting things there.
I don't know if I have the wherewithal to actually dig into something like that, to be honest.
Darko says, what are your emotions having 11k people on your nightly stream?
And tell me about that 12 string in the corner, please.
Uh, it's beautiful.
adam crigler
It is a wonderful guitar.
lydia smith
It sounds amazing.
tim pool
But let me just tell you about having 11k people in a live stream.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I guess if one day you woke up and did a stream and all of a sudden had 11,000 people, you'd be like, this is crazy.
What's going on?
And I'm eternally grateful to everybody who watches.
It's amazing, but it's been, it's not an overnight thing.
You know, I used to do live streams where I was getting 50,000 to 60,000 people when they were on the groundbreaking news.
So it's like, there's back and forth, there's up and down.
I remember before I went on Rogan the first time, last year, 2019, I was getting like 50,000 views per video.
And then I went on Rogan and all of a sudden I started getting like 80,000 to 100,000 per video.
adam crigler
Thank you, Rogan.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
lydia smith
It's a huge show.
tim pool
And I gained 100,000 subs on each channel.
And it was like, before going on Rogan, I was like, wow, 50,000 views on a single video.
Now I get like 300,000 per video.
It's just, you keep working every day, you grow, and it's just, you're always where you are.
It's like, I guess, you know, I did the video on Cuomo, Chris Cuomo, got like half a million.
And that, I noticed, I was like, whoa!
550,000 views on this one video.
But typically, the views range in the exact same.
Live viewers, you know, so when you build something up, it's just like, you feel the same, you know?
adam crigler
Yeah, I guess so.
tim pool
That's the way it is.
adam crigler
I mean, when we started, we were getting maybe 2,000, 3,000 people on our first couple shows.
And it's just been growing, and seriously appreciate you guys just hanging out with us.
It's been wonderful.
tim pool
Yeah, like it wasn't like we went from 2k to like 15 overnight.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
It was like every day it was 100, 200 more, 300 more, 400.
And then we were like, wow, a lot of people are coming.
adam crigler
They really seem to like me.
Yeah.
lydia smith
It's very true.
I like that.
tim pool
Let's see, Mark G says, Tim, since you were able to hack a drone to do a live cast, you should one-up yourself and do one of the first VR podcasts and everyone can watch the podcast from the angle they want.
adam crigler
Well, he's working on a Zeppelin.
tim pool
I pitched that six years ago.
lydia smith
Oh yeah, the Zeppelin.
tim pool
So I actually pitched a 3D mapped environment with the staff from Vice, where you could put on a VR headset and actually see the room, 3D mapped.
And what we would do is in the morning, we would 3D record one of the journalists explaining the current story.
adam crigler
Cool.
tim pool
And so you put on the headset, you're in the newsroom, you walk up to somebody, and then you, you know, you take your clicker and you tap them on the shoulder, and then it spins around and it plays the video of them saying, yo, what's up?
Welcome to the newsroom.
Well, here's the story I'm working on.
We're right now in, you know, Nicaragua, we're saying blah, blah, blah.
adam crigler
That's pretty cool.
tim pool
And it was written down, it was put in paperwork, and then we don't do anything because that's how businesses work.
adam crigler
Nice.
tim pool
Would have been cool though.
Let's see.
Peeping Tom says, Tim, have you seen the documentary from Michael Moore, Planet of the Humans?
It shows how all the current green programs are total BS.
If you haven't, it's a must watch.
I've heard about it, and boy are they mad at Michael Moore.
They are tearing him apart over this one.
adam crigler
Yeah, they really are.
tim pool
They're like, how dare you do this to us?
adam crigler
Just for the record, I see a lot of you super chatting me.
I see my name showing up.
He's skipping them because we don't have time, but I see you guys, and I appreciate you.
tim pool
Yeah, sorry we can't get to everybody.
adam crigler
That's all right.
tim pool
We've got about a half an hour left.
But I still appreciate you.
Interesting, I didn't know that.
to the HB protest, but have you heard about a federal judge in California recently issued
a temporary injunction against the background check requirement on AMA which lasted 48 hours?
This is only the second injunction made recently."
Interesting, I didn't know that.
adam crigler
Yeah, same.
tim pool
All right, let's see.
Let's take a look at what's going on in New York and complain about quarantine.
adam crigler
Let's complain about it.
tim pool
Let's complain about it.
So, we have this story from the Daily Mail.
mail.
Quote, this is a slap in the face to medics risking their lives and dying on the front
lines aghast, ER doctor.
An Iraq war veteran is horrified at packed Central Park despite 16,000 New Yorkers dying
in eight weeks.
Now, I believe I must clarify from an earlier point where I said, you know, where is the
media ragging on these people who are showing up to these New York parks disregarding all
There's more people in the park than there are protesting in most of these places.
adam crigler
Yeah, I see it.
tim pool
So here's my real issue.
Obviously we're seeing people criticize them.
We're seeing this stuff get called out.
But there is a certain sect of, like, left-wing digital media that keeps posting photos of Trump supporters and conservatives.
And there's one photo of a guy yelling at a cop.
He's got a pot leaf on his chest.
adam crigler
Yeah, what is up with that?
tim pool
Why are they accusing that guy of being, like, a hardcore conservative?
I mean, maybe he is and he's pro-pot.
I'm just saying, like... It doesn't make sense.
It's just a guy yelling at a cop.
I don't know his political leanings.
adam crigler
And the cops just let him, like, let him yell at him.
I don't get it.
tim pool
But this is normal.
Protests are like this.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
So I did a segment where I showed a bunch of photos and videos from various protests, including Black Lives Matter.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
People are in the face of the cops, and the cops don't move and don't do anything.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
But they're trying to single these people out and act like it's special.
It's like, let me ask you something.
These people in the park who are ignoring your rules and your lockdowns, and they're not even giving you the benefit of a protest, right?
At least the conservatives' anti-lockdown protesters are telling you, we would like you to open up for these reasons.
These people are just saying, F you, I don't care.
And they're in New York.
These are not conservatives.
This is not MAGA country.
adam crigler
That's classic New York attitude, though, right there.
lydia smith
Yeah, it sure is.
tim pool
I don't care.
adam crigler
I don't care.
I'm going to do what I want to do.
tim pool
I don't understand how these cities can continue to function, to be honest.
adam crigler
I don't understand it as a capacity, right?
tim pool
There's like a yeah, yeah, there's too many people.
It smells like sour milk.
They're all living on top of each other, stacking higher and higher and higher.
The bills are getting more expensive.
You know, it's really, really messed up is like one of the main reasons I bring
this up is just like the hypocrisy.
There was a post that went viral where someone said something like, you know,
you know, all those illegal immigrants that you were mad about are the ones, you
know, farming your food while you are stuck in the quarantine.
You should be grateful.
And I was thinking, like, it's really messed up that you're happy that while you are in your New York apartment with your air conditioning and your government stimulus checks, you are celebrating the fact that there are at-risk non-citizens with no benefits getting paid below minimum wage to produce the food for you that you don't have to work for.
Like, that seems kind of messed up.
Maybe the reason people are upset over the illegal immigration is because it's a way for big corporations to bypass health laws and government benefits.
But no.
As long as it's, you know, something they can blame Trump or rag on Trump, these are the stories that get passed by.
So look, I get it, right?
The media is talking about this.
People are doing this stuff.
But where is the digital media to come out and point out, you know, what's going on?
And I think, is this, okay, this is the same one.
adam crigler
I mean, you know what?
Go back to that picture.
This picture right here, I've been in Central Park a lot.
They're spread out.
These people are really spread out for New York.
That usually is like five times thicker as far as people goes.
This is actually them maintaining some social distance.
I mean, obviously there's a couple people sitting together.
They probably live together.
I don't know.
I'm just saying.
They're spread apart.
unidentified
They're not like They're they're not a little bit.
adam crigler
It's all about perspective to the camera angles, man The point is the point is I've seen all these different articles about camera angles, too It's like showing the same thing point is it's stay at home Yeah, save lives, but what's true for thee and not me is really apparent for a lot of different things People just don't know and don't care and and you know what fine but cops aren't beating them up Well, the cops are giving them tickets.
unidentified
Oh, sure.
tim pool
But there was the one guy, I think.
So, I think maybe this is it.
Yeah.
adam crigler
Yeah, this.
tim pool
For some reason, a New York cop beats someone up over social distancing.
Will NYPD policing finally change now?
No!
adam crigler
No, it won't.
tim pool
No, it won't.
adam crigler
And it's frustrating.
You know why?
tim pool
Because this dude, even though this was a black man, challenging the police as they arbitrarily arrested someone, I do not expect we will see, you know, protesters.
adam crigler
And none of these cops were actually wearing masks.
That's what blows me away.
They're beating this dude up for not wearing a mask.
tim pool
But you know why this one won't get played?
unidentified
What?
tim pool
Because the cop who did it was also black.
adam crigler
Oh, right.
And both of these guys are.
All three of these.
tim pool
So what you could actually expect to see is them saying, when this black man challenged the lockdown orders, the cop beat him up and arrested him.
And when the white people did it, nothing happened.
That's like something they'd probably say.
I don't think the reason they're not saying it right now is because the cop was also not white.
So it doesn't fit a narrative that they can craft.
adam crigler
Oh, right, yeah, that makes sense.
tim pool
But sure enough, what have we seen?
We've seen, you know, a paddleboarder get arrested, a woman at a park get arrested.
This dude saw a guy getting arrested for no reason, and he said he didn't even do nothing.
adam crigler
Right, this guy.
tim pool
And the cop walked up to him, and he walked up to the cop, and the cop just goes, boom, and punches him in the face.
Why is it right now that it's the conservatives defending the unarmed black man who was just beaten up and arrested arbitrarily?
Like, what's happening?
Dude, I don't get it.
It's like they're so desperate to cling to their tribalism, Oh, I know what this one is.
This article is about this woman who says shocking sensationalist stuff that I don't believe.
Now look, I believe COVID is dangerous.
It's killed a lot of people.
We gotta take this seriously.
I actually think social distancing should remain, but we need to reopen things.
You can social distance while not quarantining.
adam crigler
Yeah, you can wear a mask.
tim pool
We can disinfect stuff.
adam crigler
Stay clean.
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
And we can get business going again.
So this woman, a daughter of an NYC ICU doctor, reveals the horrific ways young people are dying alone from COVID-19.
You know why I don't trust this woman?
Because these kind of people, like her, believe in the ends justifying the means.
So when the paddleboarder got arrested, they got a quote from this marine biologist or something who said, The virus could be in the water and it's being kicked up into the air.
I wouldn't go to the beach if you paid me a million dollars.
And I'm like, you must really think people are stupid if you're going to argue that the literal 20 miles of beach is just a gas of miasma of virus.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
No, dude, you can go to the beach.
You'll be fine.
Mind your own business.
Social distance.
Right?
That's fair.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
This woman saying ridiculously insane things.
And I don't know why this is allowed.
I thought COVID misinformation was supposed to get you banned.
adam crigler
Yeah, right.
tim pool
But she says, look at this.
Oh, I need to, I had a patient who, her dad, had a patient who needed eight blood transfusions in a morning, even though he wasn't bleeding.
The coronavirus is just eating his red blood cells faster than his bone marrow could make them.
What do you mean the virus is eating his blood cells?
That's not what they told us the virus did.
So what is this?
Are you making this up?
No health expert, no doctor.
adam crigler
I haven't seen that yet.
tim pool
The CDC has not said our blood cells are being eaten.
Why is she tweeting this?
And it's eight.
Eight blood transfusions.
Then she says, if you're lucky enough to make it off the ventilator, why would you need a ventilator if it's your blood cells that are being eaten?
adam crigler
Yeah, the ventilator wouldn't work.
tim pool
Right, it wouldn't work at all.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And then she says, then you get cytokine storm because your immune system, that we understand.
And then she talks about, like, young people are having random strokes.
No, dude, we've seen the data.
It's almost entirely nursing homes.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
She's going on a Twitter rant and lying, pushing misinformation, because people in New York went out.
adam crigler
That's the response.
Yeah, that star in Jersey that supposedly died, they were like, yeah, he died.
And then, like... Who?
There was that lacrosse player.
tim pool
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
adam crigler
The all-star.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Turns out he recovered and he was fine.
unidentified
What, they said he died?
adam crigler
Yes, they said he died.
tim pool
They said he died?
adam crigler
Yes.
tim pool
Wow.
adam crigler
They said he died, and then they were actually showing a shot of him, like, walking out.
Oh, that's right, that's right.
And then they were like, oh, we're really sorry.
tim pool
I saw that, yep.
adam crigler
And we thought he died.
We talked about him a couple times.
Yeah, we were like, holy moly, what is this?
tim pool
We were terribly sorry.
I saw that video clip.
No, he's actually fine.
They're lying.
adam crigler
Yeah, I agree.
tim pool
She also goes on to say, this is a ridiculous story.
I'm not going to read this.
This is ridiculous.
adam crigler
Thank you.
lydia smith
Thank you.
tim pool
She goes on and basically says, like, these people in New York are insane.
They're gonna have strokes and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Look, man, we get it's bad.
I don't know what your obsession is with trying to make everyone think it's substantially worse than it really is.
We know it's bad.
We know it's worse than many other diseases.
And it's not nearly as bad as they thought it was gonna be.
So they were projecting, with social distancing, 200K dead.
Then they revised it to like 80.
Now it's down, it's at like 65.
And it's not stopping yet.
So, with social distancing, we've gotten it way down, so it's not as bad as we thought it was going to be.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
It's still bad.
People are still dying.
But there's a bunch of other claims, too, that I can't even get into.
adam crigler
The point is... But keeping our economy closed, at the point of we're losing... One in four people will go hungry in America.
tim pool
That's a new projection.
adam crigler
Right, exactly.
That's the problem.
We need to get it going again.
tim pool
So here's the big point.
Here's the main point I want to drive home with this.
South Dakota company organizes parade thanking governor for handling of coronavirus crisis.
adam crigler
Thanking the governor?
tim pool
Well hold on, check this out.
unidentified
This is going on?
adam crigler
Yeah, go ahead.
tim pool
So you mean to tell me that in South Dakota the media kept saying it was a hotspot, it was getting worse, the worst in the country outside of New York.
adam crigler
Yeah, I did hear that.
tim pool
She didn't lock it down.
adam crigler
What?
Your faces are distracting.
Sorry, I'll sit still.
tim pool
She didn't lock it down and then nothing happened.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Where's the outbreak?
Where are the hospitalizations?
adam crigler
I don't know.
tim pool
They don't exist.
According to John Hopkins, South Dakota had like 179 hospitalizations.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
You know, and the whole second wave is coming.
The second wave, you know, everyone's talking about now the bell curve, but they're like, oh, but the second wave wasn't in there.
But the second wave, that's the new thing they're trying to whip up, you know?
Then we talk about Sweden again, but they aren't going to have a second wave because they are just already herd immune.
tim pool
And the World Health Organization was praising them.
adam crigler
They were, yeah.
They flip-flopped on it.
tim pool
They rejected lockdown.
adam crigler
Our show on Friday, we talked about it.
tim pool
They rejected the lockdown, and the World Health Organization was like, good job, Sweden!
adam crigler
And they won't have a second wave, because it's impossible.
Everybody has it.
tim pool
But we were never trying to stop a second wave.
adam crigler
They were just trying to lower the curve so that we can handle it all.
tim pool
We were told consistently that people are going to die no matter what.
We were told the same amount of people will die no matter what we do.
The projections were wrong.
There was a lot less people.
This proves that the social distancing and quarantining worked, and maybe it worked better than we realized.
Or maybe their projections were wrong.
Regardless, We get it.
It's serious.
We get it.
We'll social distance.
We'll use hand sanitizer.
We'll wear masks.
It's time to reopen the economy so people don't starve.
Because there was another story I just covered where they said 40% of bars may never reopen.
Bars and restaurants.
adam crigler
Wow.
That's a huge amount.
unidentified
40%.
adam crigler
I know a lot of people that their restaurants have already closed for good.
tim pool
This unemployment is there.
There's a lot of people who think that the goal for the lockdown, extended lockdowns, is to take advantage of the crisis to hurt Trump.
adam crigler
Yeah.
What was your theory you were telling me earlier today?
tim pool
Which one?
adam crigler
Prepping the general public for war.
I know you were just speculating with me, but...
tim pool
Yeah, so think about it this way.
What have people been doing?
They've been becoming accustomed to isolation.
Like, if there's a war and a serious lockdown, you gotta hide and shelter in place because of an actual conflict.
They've been cooking their own food.
People have been baking bread like crazy.
adam crigler
Only the essential wheels to keep society moving, supposedly.
tim pool
People are raising their kids now.
They're actually teaching their own kids and they're at home with their kids.
And then the other big factor is that all of the non-essential BS is being slowly chiseled away and destroyed.
So like a lot of these digital news outlets are laying people off and cutting salaries.
The only jobs that are sustained are the ones we absolutely need.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So there's a lot of really dumb jobs.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
And now people have to, they're not going to do those anymore.
So I'm not, I'm not like seriously saying like, I believe this is prep for a war.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But I do think it would help.
adam crigler
It makes sense though.
tim pool
If there was going to be a war, this would help.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
The fact that we're getting people ready for isolation, locking down, that people went out and bought guns like crazy.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Think about it.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
Yep.
You know, the one benefit to living in America is that we'll never be invaded.
Never.
America can do all the worst things in the world, and no one can stop us.
Because the moment they come here, there is a gun behind every blade of grass.
Other countries have taken it away.
They can't do it.
So, look, America, for better or for worse, is going to go send weapons and bombs, and nothing you can do.
You can't come here.
We're going to keep making them, and you can't stop us.
Unless, I don't know, tungsten rods from orbit.
adam crigler
Maybe.
tim pool
Yeah.
I don't know.
Maybe we've got spaceships ready.
adam crigler
Hence the Space Force.
Well, actually, you know, the Space Force can actually knock the satellite out.
They have this weapon that they can point.
It looks like a satellite dish.
It points at a satellite and disables it.
Yeah, we did a segment last week on it.
tim pool
He knocks out a satellite.
adam crigler
They revealed the first weapon that they've obtained is disabled satellites.
Yikes.
So it was right when Iran put a satellite up into space.
tim pool
And then the U.S.
was like, nope!
unidentified
The U.S.
adam crigler
was like, by the way, we have a counter for that.
So everything's cool, America.
tim pool
The cleverest weapons the U.S.
uses are the ones where you don't know it was them.
So all they've got to do is knock the Iranian satellite slightly out of orbit so that it crashes to Earth.
And they can be like, hmm, it's a fortunate accident that happened to your satellite.
adam crigler
Sorry, Iran.
tim pool
Yeah, it wasn't us.
Or just blast a microwave or something at it, I don't know.
Blind it, knock it out.
adam crigler
That's probably what it does.
tim pool
I don't know what we can expect.
It's been kind of surreal, honestly, with the pandemic stuff.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Because we're all getting used to it.
adam crigler
That's it?
This is normal life now.
tim pool
Exactly.
And people are gonna stop complaining about it.
It's gonna be a normal life.
adam crigler
I hope they don't stop complaining.
tim pool
It's getting weird.
adam crigler
This doesn't feel normal.
tim pool
Well, I'll tell you what, though.
When we went to L.A.
on the way there, everybody was very serious and very strict.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Like, we stopped at places across the entire country where they were like, you gotta wear a mask.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
On the way back, nope.
adam crigler
Did you take the same route?
tim pool
same route identical route we even stopped at the same some of the same rest stops and everything saw the same people yeah the masks the sign saying no masks gone i mean i'm sorry the sign saying must wear masks we're gone a lot of these places people were just back to normal wow yep now in the in the philly in the in the in the p in pennsylvania there was a lot more serious once you started hitting like No, no, no, no.
adam crigler
Thicker civilization, basically?
tim pool
No, no, no, just Pennsylvania.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
tim pool
Like, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, probably because of the proximity to New York.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
But, like, when we were in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, there's even a little piece of West Virginia, like, everybody had a sign saying, like, you must wear a mask.
adam crigler
Going West.
tim pool
And then, even when we got to, like, New Mexico and Arizona, there was, like, a Native, in Navajo country, in the reservation, gotta wear a mask.
On the way back, they were still making us wear masks.
But a lot of the places we had been to, or similar areas, nope, no more.
Gone.
And it really felt like people stopped caring.
In that one week.
But the data shows it.
There was a report on this.
Mother Jones wrote about it.
They're saying that people have stopped caring.
That the amount of people using driving directions with Siri on their iPhones is going way up.
People are going out to the parks.
Nobody cares anymore.
adam crigler
Yeah.
unidentified
It's true.
tim pool
They're fed up with it.
because it's proving the government authority doesn't work.
unidentified
Right.
It's true.
tim pool
Like, Americans are an unruly bunch, man.
adam crigler
They're fed up with it.
tim pool
It's not even that, they just don't care.
Yeah.
You're like, you can't do this.
And then thousands of people go outside and just ignore you.
Right.
What are you gonna do about it?
adam crigler
It's just gonna prove to other people that, oh wait, if they're doing it...
I have friends in New York, they're enraged.
They're like, I'm quarantining in my apartment and I look out the window and I see mad people walking around.
Why should I even stay in?
tim pool
Exactly.
adam crigler
And that's it right there.
tim pool
So, what are they gonna do?
They got 8,000 police on duty at any one moment.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
What are they gonna do?
unidentified
8,000.
adam crigler
That's it.
tim pool
They're gonna go arrest literally all these people?
Nope.
Hand out tickets like crazy and then see what happens.
You know what people don't realize about the courts in New York is that if everyone pled not guilty and demanded a jury trial, they would dismiss every single case.
adam crigler
Yeah, maybe.
tim pool
Because the court can't handle all of the fine citations, low-level, you know, petty stuff, and like misdemeanors.
Impossible.
So they really, really rely on people pleading out If every single person was like, I want to go to a jury trial.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
That's why they try and threaten you with harsher penalties for going to jury trial because they know if everyone did it.
Could you imagine if they like give out hundreds or thousands of tickets and everyone's like, I'll have a trial.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
tim pool
I want a trial.
adam crigler
Hundreds of thousands of trials.
tim pool
They'd be like, we dismissing every ticket.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
We're just missing it all.
I gotta be honest.
I bet they will dismiss it once things are over.
They're trying to deter people now.
unidentified
Maybe.
Yeah.
tim pool
But what are they going to do?
They're going to go after you for the, you know, whatever this is.
Although that guy who got knocked out, he already got his punishment.
And I don't mean that in a good way.
The cops in New York use arrests as punishment.
They know you won't get in trouble.
They know you're not going to get charged.
They know you're not going to get the case dismissed.
They won't go to trial.
But they know that if they arrest you right now, you'll spend a weekend in jail.
And so they're like, I can punish you right now.
You can't do anything about it.
I know that weekend is bad enough for you.
adam crigler
I hate that.
tim pool
Yup.
Well, what do you do about it, man?
adam crigler
It's true.
tim pool
It's like, we had criminal justice reform in New York.
Crime started to go up.
They did the bail reform thing where it's like certain crimes get released and then people started committing crimes over again because they weren't getting arrested or they were getting released right away.
So I don't know how you deal with that, but, uh, I'll tell you what.
Why don't we do one more quick segment on this, uh, this here alien thing?
adam crigler
Yeah, let's, yeah, I really want to know about this.
tim pool
Let's talk about some aliens.
So, uh, how's it going, everybody?
Aliens are real.
And, uh, we know it.
No, okay, I don't know if they're real or not.
adam crigler
I need, I need some proof.
tim pool
The Pentagon has released those videos.
Everyone's talking about it.
It's been, I think, like a week and a half now.
adam crigler
Yeah, we did a segment on it.
tim pool
But those videos are old, man.
adam crigler
I know they are.
tim pool
They're old videos.
adam crigler
From 2007.
tim pool
I know.
And Tom DeLonge, Blink-182, already released it.
Well, formally at Blink-182.
Oh, okay.
But check out this story from Futurism.
Japan is creating protocols for dealing with UFOs.
What are you gonna do?
You gonna shoot them?
What are you gonna do?
Well, I'll just read it.
lydia smith
Let's find out.
tim pool
They say...
In response to the U.S.
Navy releasing its footage of UFOs, the Japanese government is now preparing for how it would handle such an encounter.
The Japanese Defense Ministry says its pilots have never encountered an unidentified flying object, the Japan Times reports, but authorities want to be prepared should it happen in the future.
And while the new protocols are geared toward identifying military drones, they could also serve as guidance for first contact with hypothetical aliens.
adam crigler
Is that different from regular aliens?
tim pool
Hypothetical aliens?
Yeah.
Well, because they can't say real aliens.
adam crigler
But that's what it would be for!
tim pool
No, it could be military tech.
adam crigler
Sure.
tim pool
A lot of people pointed this out when I was on the Rogan podcast.
I said, don't you think it's more likely that the UFOs are U.S.
military?
Yeah.
And he said, like, the U.S.
military doesn't have this.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
So there was, like, some snarky jokes where, like, Joe Rogan going, aliens.
Because, like, a lot of people think it makes more sense.
It's just U.S.
military tech and not Aliens!
adam crigler
I'm inclined to agree with you on that.
tim pool
But Joe made the argument, like, it could be aliens, and people were like, aliens.
You know the meme?
adam crigler
Aliens.
tim pool
The aliens guy?
Of course.
Ancient aliens?
adam crigler
Of course.
tim pool
Somebody commented, they were like, Tim Pool drove 3,000 miles to be taught, uh, to be educated on ancient aliens by Joe Rogan.
I thought it was fun, man.
lydia smith
It was awesome.
tim pool
It was a good conversation.
adam crigler
Yeah, it was fun.
tim pool
Here's what they say.
Identified flying objects.
Right now, whenever an unknown aircraft enters Japanese airspace, fighter jets are dispatched to identify where it came from and, if necessary, force it to land by firing warning shots, Japan Times reports.
But because military leaders don't know whether that would work on a UFO or even if it would be detectable from the ground, new guidelines could prove necessary.
Quote, to be honest, I don't believe in UFOs.
Well, hold on.
Let me stop you there, Defense Minister Taro Kono.
They exist.
We know they exist.
The Pentagon has now confirmed it.
Several independent organizations have confirmed it.
I'm not saying they're aliens.
adam crigler
Well, an unidentified flying object was confirmed.
Yes.
tim pool
He's saying he doesn't believe in them.
adam crigler
Whether or not it was.
No, I know.
I'm referring to the original video, though.
It's like they just can.
The Pentagon just said, yeah, those those videos are real.
They never said those are aliens.
tim pool
I didn't say they were aliens.
adam crigler
I'm not saying that you said that.
tim pool
Then why are you bringing it up?
Because he said, I don't believe in UFOs.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
We just saw videos of UFOs.
adam crigler
Well, how do you say you don't believe in a UFO?
Because a UFO is an unidentified flying object.
tim pool
If I'm saying he's wrong.
lydia smith
Weird.
tim pool
We know they exist.
lydia smith
He misspoke.
tim pool
He said, but because the Defense Department released such a video, I would like to hear from the U.S.
side about its intentions and analysis.
That's the point.
He's claiming, I don't believe in them, even with the videos being released.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
That's ridiculous.
It's not even just the Pentagon putting out the videos or confirming them.
It's several other organizations doing the research saying, we've seen these videos.
It's several Navy, Naval pilots being like, yo, this happened.
So what are you going to do?
You're going to say all these, you know, honorable servicemen and women are just making things up and the videos were fabricated?
God, get out of here, man.
Conspiracies.
They say the new protocols are based around a scenario in which a pilot on a training or surveillance mission encounters a UFO mid-flight.
If UFOs are encountered, training will be cancelled immediately, a source within Japan's Air Force told the Japan Times.
We will seek to identify it from a safe distance, including whether it is a drone, and report it to the Air Defense Direction Center for orders.
So I believe that's the gist of what their plan is.
So what should we do?
adam crigler
if there are ufo's well i mean what they used to do is
go fly over there and pop warning shots at them be like land
i think that's a terrible idea if it is an alien because if it's an alien
they're like oh let's check this planet out all this look at that beautiful mountain mount
I think it's Mount Fuji.
Our computers are telling us it's Mount Fuji.
Yeah, wonderful.
And then shots get fired and they're like, whoa, we're being attacked.
tim pool
laser. So I was good now. I was reading some comments of them, you know, cause a lot of
people, you know, we, I think it was a good conversation. I had with Joe on UFOs, but
we didn't get, we didn't get to everything we possibly could have. Okay.
And what people don't seem to understand is that we anthropomorphize everything.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
We as humans know what a warning shot is.
adam crigler
Exactly.
tim pool
Does a centipede?
So what if aliens came here, and what if the aliens have no concept of war?
And so all of a sudden we're seeing that these things are flying at them, and they're just like, what is happening?
We don't understand this, this is just a threat to us.
You know what I mean?
adam crigler
Or it's like, oh look, it's a bug.
tim pool
No, I mean there's so much we assume about aliens, right?
So, our emotions are based on the fact that we evolved the way we did, right?
We love our children, we love small things with big eyes.
Bugs don't feel that way.
Bugs lay a bunch of eggs and then, you know, buzz off.
Or eat some of them.
Yeah, hamsters eat their babies.
So even mammals are doing messed up stuff.
What if these aliens are more like, you know, giant bugs?
Very smart, giant bugs.
They lay a million eggs, the eggs hatch, and they don't care for them.
They feel nothing towards them.
They don't have that emotion.
They wouldn't understand our concept of love and protection.
It's all, actually you ever, you ever read Ender's Game or see the movie?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Like the alien was a hive.
It didn't understand the concept of individuality.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
So it thought it was just like akin to cutting hair when it was blowing us up.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Same thing could happen here.
Not only that, like they might not have no, they might have no concept of a warning shot.
So when we shoot at them, they're like, they've declared war on us.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
They've expressed hostile intentions.
adam crigler
Time to kill.
tim pool
Not even- Yeah, right.
And then they were like, let's just press this button and compress space-time around this entire base, and the whole thing just vaporizes.
adam crigler
Or this entire planet.
tim pool
You know, I was talking about this earlier.
I think- I don't know if I was talking with you about it.
About... I was watching Star Wars.
Was I talking about propulsion and stuff?
A little bit.
adam crigler
I think you're talking to Ian about it.
tim pool
I was watching Star Wars and the ships they fly all have propulsion.
There's jets in the back shooting out something.
adam crigler
Pushing them forward.
tim pool
And I was like, why do we assume that?
That's archaic technology.
We've seen videos of UFOs that they clearly don't have some kind of propulsion coming out the back.
They just move.
So wouldn't it make more sense that they're manipulating space to travel very quickly?
And then if that's the case, wouldn't defensive shields just be ripples in space, like compression of space-time?
adam crigler
Yeah, or using gravity in some sort, like a magnet, kind of like pushing and pulling, you know, gravity to push you along.
tim pool
So like the, I guess the general warp idea, I don't want to call it a theory, I don't know if it's a theory or whatever, but it's like you compress space-time in front of you and expand it behind you and then you move through space as opposed to like being within it.
So then you could theoretically go faster than light or whatever, but here's what I'm trying to say.
We always have these fictional depictions of aliens based on technology from the 1950s.
Rocketry.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
It's like, do you think if something was able to travel across, you know, the universe?
adam crigler
Interstellar space, yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, they would be using something we developed 70 years ago?
Like we don't even we don't even know like I mean, we're still using that I think it's archaic We just I don't know not maybe it's not possible But I think it would make some more sense for everything we need in order to survive is to be able to manipulate Fabric of space-time.
I don't know that that's maybe a tall order.
I get it, right?
Yeah, but then I was thinking about How would you shoot a bullet at a UFO that can manipulate space?
It could literally just blink and be in a different position.
Or the bullet would actually go to it, but then because space-time is warped or compressed, the bullet would just, to us, look like it goes through it, or around it, or you wouldn't even be able to see it.
adam crigler
Or just simply disappear.
tim pool
Yeah, depending on how they manipulate space.
I would imagine, based on the way they've described how these UFOs move, they're manipulating space in some capacity, or something like that.
So what do you think they're doing?
adam crigler
Hold on, let me just ask you.
Do you think aliens exist?
Yes.
tim pool
Of course they do.
adam crigler
In the fact that they're flying around here?
No.
tim pool
Absolutely not.
I mean, it's possible.
One of the things we talked about on the Rogan Podcast is, what if we're like ants to them?
We don't care about the ant hill.
We don't even pay mind to it.
Joe was saying, no way, man.
They're looking at our planet and they're seeing these crude attempts at traveling off planet.
They're probably interested in it.
Just like we study ants.
We do.
Not everybody cares, but some people study.
So if we really were like ants, and this is a good point, perhaps the aliens that are coming are just like the entomologists of the alien race.
They're like, ooh, let's go look at these little ant critters and see what they're up to.
adam crigler
There was an interesting theory that we talked about last week about it being humans from the future going back to study history.
Yeah, it was interesting.
I dug into that a little bit.
tim pool
And the reason why they're not as prominent as they were in the past is because in the future they know it's the cell phone era.
And so they're like, oh, you can't go to this time period because it's the cell phone period.
But they can travel back in time to the 50s, 60s, see rocketry, war, and all that stuff.
adam crigler
You think crop circles are all just a hoax?
tim pool
Probably.
adam crigler
Just artists?
tim pool
I mean, dude, the Nazca lines are crazy.
adam crigler
The Nazca lines.
Actually, about the Nazca lines, it's almost like they knew something was out in space looking down at them, and they're like, oh, look at the animals that we have here.
It's kind of the vibe I get, you know?
Because what were they doing that for?
tim pool
Did you see the Rogan episode where the dude said the Sphinx was actually from 9000 BC?
adam crigler
Uh, I haven't seen that episode, but I know about the Sphinx, yeah.
tim pool
Being much older than we thought.
adam crigler
Much older, yeah, yeah.
tim pool
I also briefly mentioned this on Rogan's podcast, because it's like, we don't really know.
adam crigler
Exactly.
tim pool
We don't know our own history.
adam crigler
Yeah.
A lot of our history is just gone.
tim pool
That's why I brought up the Venus pseudo-theory.
adam crigler
Yeah, I know your Venus idea, yeah.
tim pool
It's not my idea.
adam crigler
Oh, I didn't know that was already established.
tim pool
I didn't make this up.
I'm a little sad.
So for those unfamiliar, it's the idea.
adam crigler
I'm a little sad because I thought you did.
tim pool
The there's like I don't want to call it a theory, whatever
you want to call it, but it's like an idea.
Sure.
Well, theory, because it tends to be established in some capacity.
But the idea is that Venus was once was once a planet much
like Earth and a runaway Greenhouse effect started
destroying the atmosphere and the environment, just much like they're
saying we're doing now.
So U.S.
— I shouldn't say U.S., but governmental forces — U.S., that's Venus.
Governmental powers of some sort created a giant vessel to get off Earth, to terraform and colonize Earth, which was barren and empty, and then they terraformed it, and then the Ark, the ship, took the DNA of every possible animal they could, so two of every animal, by the story, the Great Flood, yes, global warming, flooded their planet, destroyed it, the Greenhouse Effect, wiped everything out, so they got in the big ship, flew away, but very few people actually survived.
So what ends up happening is you have this newly terraformed Earth, barely terraformed, you immediately drop all this potential new life that's growing and adapting and evolving over tens of thousands of years, so it's not completely identical to the life that was on the other planet, and then the few humans that are now on this planet Have no access to technology.
They have no access to the previous world.
Most of them, like an insurance salesman, has no idea how to smelt ore.
So then he has kids.
Those kids have never experienced life in a technological advanced society.
So they create a book saying like, here's why, here's what you got to do, and here's why you got to do it.
Two or three generations go by, it's magic.
No one knows anymore.
adam crigler
It sounds awfully familiar, like, we're on a planet, it's kind of runaway right now.
tim pool
Elon Musk is building his Mars ship.
adam crigler
Elon Musk is like, we gotta live on Mars.
tim pool
That's what I was saying to Joe, it's like, you go to Mars, you have 20 families, they all know what Earth is like, they have kids, the kids don't, then those kids have kids, and Earth is just a fantasy to them.
It's like a dot in the sky they've never seen, have never been to.
40,000 years later, they're going to be like, we sent a satellite to Earth and it was just acid rain.
It destroyed the satellite.
There's nothing there.
It's just a wasteland.
We live on Mars.
adam crigler
Venus 2.0.
tim pool
Yup.
unidentified
Yup.
tim pool
But I guess we'll find out eventually.
Perhaps what's going to happen, and these are all joke theories, is that we're being buttered up, you know?
They're getting us ready.
adam crigler
To aliens.
tim pool
Because look, now that the Pentagon has said, yes, these videos are real, what comes next is a sighting.
And then there's a story, it's like, this person claims they've seen a UFO, just like the Pentagon described.
Then six months go by, and it's three or four sightings.
six months go by and it's like, oh wow, they were like 12 or 30. Then all of a sudden there's a
ship floating over New York for a few minutes and then leaving. And then everyone's seen it and
they're like, these things keep appearing, what are they?
And they butter us up so that when they finally do first contact, it's like, that's what the aliens
were doing. Because if they just did it right now, people would be like, aliens, what do we do?
Shoot them, run, hide. I don't know.
adam crigler
I guess I have more faith in people.
I feel like they'd be like, yeah, we're not really that surprised.
tim pool
Nah, nope.
Trump would come out and he'd be like, we are very grateful to announce aliens have made first contact, and I am going to personally meet them, and we are going to have a very peaceful, very prosperous relationship, and then everyone in the media would be like, Trump is siding with the enemy, the aliens will kill us, kill them before they kill us, people would go riot, it would be chaos.
Or Trump could come out and be like, we must not trust the aliens, they are a potential threat.
And then every media would be like, the aliens are our friends, trust them, bend the knee, bow to them.
It's like, you know what, man?
Nah, dude, people would go nuts and it would be bedlam.
adam crigler
Yeah, probably.
tim pool
Yep.
unidentified
All right.
adam crigler
Yeah, all right.
tim pool

Let's see.
Seamus McBride says, look into the actual Justice Warrior.
Also, y'all lost the game.
Man, the game.
I haven't considered that since I was a teenager.
adam crigler
I hate losing the game.
tim pool
Blinky Bill says, Can't wait to go back.
dark side of the moon. Conspiracy? That's why they are sketchy about what astronauts
have seen there. Ooh, alien base. Can't wait to go back.
Grant Thompson says, This was brought up already, but I need this to be clear.
Trudeau's list includes 1,500 or so firearms banned mostly on cosmetics rather than
function. A segment on this would be appreciated. CBC is in the PM's pocket.
unidentified
Really?
Yeah.
tim pool
We should figure that out.
Yeah, I can figure that out.
old and sick rest 99.999% fine.
KVH says, have you ever thought of streaming on Twitch?
It's a huge platform for live streams. I think spreading your knowledge on other
platforms is important.
I think we could actually stream to both simultaneously somehow.
adam crigler
Really? Yeah. We should figure that out. Yeah, I can figure that out. Yeah, that'd be great.
tim pool
K98killer says, the nurses making all the crazy fear porn claims on Twitter
are just Karen's looking for their 15 seconds of fame.
Truth be damned.
Karens.
Yep.
Democracy says, a friend told me he talked to a respiratory doctor doing C19 testing by Daytona Beach, Florida.
They said it's behaving like sickle cell attacking red blood cells.
Oh wow, so maybe that's... whatever this thing is, it's creepy.
Did I say that?
They don't care about injustices?
I don't remember hearing that.
Yeah, I don't think so.
about injustices, your view of conservatives is outdated."
Did I say that? They don't care about injustices? I don't remember hearing that. Yeah, I
don't think so. Bloody Bleeder says, how do you reach smug rich kids telling people to stay home
with their full refrigerators and pantries? Exactly. Yeah.
Cracklin says, is some part of you just a little disappointed that no zombies came out of this pandemic?
Other than Biden, obviously.
Look, man, we did a whole segment on why zombie apocalypses would not be fun.
adam crigler
Agreed.
tim pool
And these millennials are like, it'd be so cool.
unidentified
I'd be a hero.
tim pool
No, you'd be a zombie.
Yeah, you would be a zombie.
You'd be the first zombie.
Jason says, Australia is preparing us for government tracking.
Great.
Yep.
It's coming fast, huh?
Count Drago says, thank you guys for your unbiased transparency.
Watch daily.
Appreciate it.
adam crigler
Cool.
tim pool
Emo Da Drum says, do you think the United States of America will eventually adopt the CCP's authoritarian style of government?
Or do you think America will continue to stay as free as we believe we are?
Maybe.
But man, like I said, we are an unruly bunch.
You know, like, they can't even get people in New York to stay home.
And those are the people supposedly claiming we should stay home.
adam crigler
That's so accurate.
We are unruly.
tim pool
TheOtakuChicago says, Bad news, Illinois now has a mask order.
Not joking.
I mean, we've had it here in Jersey for a long time.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
You can't go to the store without a mask.
adam crigler
Yep.
It's true.
tim pool
Let's see.
Wim says, Thunderfoot, it was Dux.
See his video.
Alright.
Sarah Zen, thanks for becoming a member.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
Where are we at?
DeplorablePirate says, Your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are the instrument, the covenant from Halo.
Hmm.
That's right.
on my ship moves space. The ship stays put. That's right.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah. Nice. AJ Starhiker says the weapon. The weapon mistake was how the earth mini mini
bari war in Babylon five started a min bari. The min bari opened their weapon ports as being
open honest humans open fire because they thought it was a threat. Yep. That's a really
good point. Yeah.
There's actually an episode of Futurama where they're delivering weapons to a gang planet, and Leela sees that she opens the crate, she's not supposed to, and sees their weapons, and she's like, we're delivering weapons!
So Bender bends them all, so they're backwards.
Then when they deliver them, it turns out the gangs were like, no, no, we want to end the war, and we gave you these weapons as a sign of trust.
We want to make sure that you trust that we don't want to fight, and so they take all the broken weapons, and it hurts them, and they're like, ah, they're declaring war on us.
adam crigler
Oh no.
tim pool
There's always going to be some kind of alcohol.
when things look bad, just remember that not all is lost when there is still bread and
wine.
There's always going to be some kind of alcohol.
Professor says, so Venus could terraform Earth, but not just fix Venus?
Yes, because what happened was, as we're preparing to colonize Mars, we start seeding it, dropping
resources, doing a very limited alteration to the environment.
Venus had 10 billion people all fighting with each other because their president was orange
and they didn't like him, and so they couldn't agree on anything, and then one billionaire
started building a spaceship saying, I'm getting out of here, and his name was Noah, and the
planet was collapsing and they couldn't agree and they fought, and then it fell apart and
he left, and you know, that's kind of the general idea.
Sean Stormgem says, your theory sounds like Horizon Zero Dawn.
That game is awesome, by the way.
You played that?
adam crigler
I haven't, but I see it on the shelf over there.
tim pool
It's a good game, dude.
unidentified
It's amazing.
tim pool
I know.
adam crigler
And people have been telling me, like, you gotta play it.
tim pool
You should play it.
adam crigler
I will.
I will.
tim pool
It's really clever.
It's like, the fighting style is interesting, because you're fighting giant robots.
It's, like, it's tough.
Like, you gotta use clever tactics to take the machines down.
adam crigler
I like it.
I like it a lot.
tim pool
It's good game.
It gets easier later on when you get better weapons, obviously, but it's a cool game.
adam crigler
And you know all the ways to kill.
tim pool
It's like shooting an arrow at a giant robot.
It barely does anything.
adam crigler
Ding.
tim pool
Yep.
You have to knock off strategic plates and target their weak points and stuff.
adam crigler
Dope, that sounded good.
tim pool
Good game, dude.
unidentified
Cool.
tim pool
Sean says, oh yeah, yeah.
Wolfault says, sometimes you can tell the public the truth.
Sometimes you can't tell the public the truth.
A deeply entrenched enemy who controls the vast majority of communications, only defeated by game theory.
Interesting.
Go says, OJ Simpson 2020, Orange vs the Juice.
Seiza says, Politico is currently getting dragged for using Chinese Twitter against Trump.
I saw that, that's ridiculous.
Andrew Starr says, it was masterful what you did on Rogan.
Way to flip the narrative with poise and calm.
Much respect for handling that crappy situation.
What situation?
adam crigler
Yeah, someone actually tweeted at me that you held your own when Joe attacked you.
tim pool
He attacked me?
adam crigler
And this was before I actually saw the podcast, so I was kind of like waiting for it through the whole podcast.
And then I got to that and I was like, what?
I don't get it.
tim pool
Some people are, I think we're pointing out that Rogan said something like, there are some people who started saying things and then getting praise, accidentally getting praise from right-wingers, so they started drifting that direction.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And then I responded, or there's the inverse.
The people who get attacked for not holding a position and then are beaten into submission.
adam crigler
Right, okay.
tim pool
Some people I did see on social media saying like, oh Joe almost got Tim, but then Tim flipped it on him.
And I was like, my response to that is, my opinion hasn't changed.
When I worked for Fusion, when I worked for Fusion, I was living in Miami, and Fusion was a social justice, like, digital outlet.
I did a segment on, I think it was Harvard doing a black-only graduation or something, and I was very critical of it.
I had the same opinions then as I do now, and I was working for a social justice news organization, and so they started calling me a white supremacist at the company.
Some people did.
Yeah, so it's like, my opinions didn't change.
adam crigler
Within the company they were?
tim pool
Yeah, there were like some employees that were like, Tim's a men's rights activist, white supremacist, or whatever.
And I said something like, we should treat people equally, no matter what their race is.
And they were like, how dare you!
But my opinions have changed a little bit.
But I'll tell you what, man.
Who cares if that's the case?
Like, if you have an idea and your idea is wrong, and someone comes to you and says, hello Tim, I appreciate you engaging in this subject.
Let me explain why you're wrong.
And then I read that and go, oh wow, I was wrong.
Isn't that the way things are supposed to be?
adam crigler
Right.
Admitting you're wrong?
What's wrong with that?
tim pool
But think about it the other way.
adam crigler
It's amazing.
tim pool
In the culture war, the people who become leftists typically are beaten into submission, and they say ridiculous things that make no sense because they're scared of the mob.
Yeah, it does feel that way.
There's a very high-profile left-wing YouTuber who I think does a good job, who used to be very fair, and then got attacked and cancelled, and all of a sudden started refusing to debate, refusing to have conversations, and just went the full SJW route because they were terrified little whiny babies.
adam crigler
I don't think I know who you're talking about.
tim pool
No, you're not supposed to.
The point is, on the left, the people in the culture war are attacked and insulted and terrified into supporting those causes.
On the right, they're offered a beer and a conversation.
So what do you think's gonna happen to a regular American who's moderate, who's traditionally been like, I'm interested in figuring out who to vote for, and along comes a dude in a red cap and says, hey buddy, got your beer, you wanna have a seat?
I'd be like, that sounds great, I like beer.
I actually don't, but if you had me like a seltzer with some lime in it, I'd be like, this is fantastic.
I'm enjoying your company and having an intellectual conversation.
If you come to me and you say, F you, you bigot Nazi mother effer, I'm going to be like, you get away from me.
I don't care what you have to say.
You're a creep.
adam crigler
Yep.
Yeah.
tim pool
Some people are scared and they're beaten to submission.
Some people aren't.
unidentified
All right.
Let's see.
tim pool
Where are we at?
I.M.D.
Bull says, Mars doesn't have a magnetic field to protect the atmosphere.
We can't terraform it if any atmosphere we generate will escape into space.
That's actually a really good point.
Plus the magnetic field protects us from solar ejections.
The Waltman says, thoughts on Japan spending roughly $2 billion to move all manufacturing out of China?
Good.
adam crigler
Awesome.
Good for them.
tim pool
Triple says, in Australia, some news has been saying they wouldn't release the lockdown unless 70% of people install a government tracking app.
I wouldn't.
Super free.
I mean, we already have it.
Google just gives them the data.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
Super free education says, how to spend money to debunk the fake news.
Sickle cell doesn't attack red blood cells.
It is an inherited condition.
Oh, interesting.
adam crigler
Okay.
Good to know.

Thomas Dean says putting MRAs and white supremacists in the same category is nonsense.
And they did that.
Like, I swear to God.
I had someone be like, you're a men's rights activist.
I'm like, what?
First of all, I don't know anything about men's rights activists.
This is when I was working at Fusion.
And I was like, never said anything about this.
Why are you bringing this up?
It's because it's the only thing they had.
It was like, to them, it was like, big, you know, boogeyman.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Yeah.
Okay, well, with that, we're over time.
We're gonna wrap up.
