tim pool
Ladies and gentlemen, as we are beginning this stream, riots are breaking out across
Protests and riots.
I want to be careful about the language I use because some are protests, some are riots.
Some are protesters being arrested, some are rioters smashing things up.
My understanding is that they've been rioting all day, basically.
It's never stopped.
And now we're getting word from the prosecutor They're not going to be, I guess, charging this cop, the guy who was putting his knee on the neck.
They said there's... What did he say?
adam crigler
He said something like... He said something along the lines of, there's evidence showing that there's no reason to charge him.
Something along those lines.
That they have evidence contradicting the fact that what everyone sees I don't buy it.
I don't buy it either.
tim pool
I mean, I think what they might be alluding to, I think one possibility is that the cop showed up late because people are like, hey, that cop wasn't the cop in the video.
And because there's a video of George Floyd not resisting.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Some have argued he was because he just like is grumbling as they push him and like staggered or whatever.
But it's not resisting, man.
adam crigler
If what he's saying is true, why did they fire them?
Why did they fire all four of them then?
What?
Oh, there's evidence to the contrary?
Then why did you fire all four of them?
tim pool
It could be because... Why?
This.
This is the... You know what, man?
adam crigler
What, to prevent this?
unidentified
Right.
adam crigler
It's not gonna... He... I know.
No!
tim pool
Well, they're stupid.
adam crigler
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
Listen, at some point, these people gotta learn that apologizing does nothing.
adam crigler
Exactly.
tim pool
And that's scary.
That's scary.
Because when I watched this video of George Floyd, my immediate reaction was like, I do not see how they can justify this in any way.
No matter what.
adam crigler
Agreed.
tim pool
Because the dude's just not, he's not resisting.
He's saying, please, please, please, I can't breathe.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
They could have called somebody over.
adam crigler
They could have... Alright, let's just put you in the back of the cop car.
tim pool
Something like that.
Some people said, like, the criminals lie and then they use it as a chance to escape.
You're responsible, man.
adam crigler
You got your knees- Surrounded by- He had other cops around him, though.
And apparently some- Like, okay, let's all put him in the back of the vehicle.
tim pool
Done.
There's this crazy thing that people don't understand.
When it came to Eric Garner, you don't know the story, but he was slinging- Cigarettes.
Yeah, what do they call them?
Singles?
unidentified
Or whatever.
adam crigler
Yeah, I don't remember.
tim pool
When it came to him... Lucy's.
Lucy's, yeah, yeah.
The cop had him in a chokehold.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
And he said, I can't breathe, I can't breathe.
And then everyone started saying, if you can talk, you can breathe.
It's not true.
It's really easy to force air out of your lungs, but pulling it back in requires more pressure.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
That's my understanding of it.
adam crigler
So... That makes sense.
tim pool
But I don't even care about... I don't care about any of these excuses.
I really, really don't.
I mean, the reality of it is...
Keyword there WAS resisting.
Even if it was past tense.
So I could understand, like, maybe this guy cop shows up late, right?
He doesn't know what happened, and they just say this guy was resisting, and he goes, okay.
And so he doesn't know anything about the guy.
adam crigler
Keyword there, was resisting.
Even if it was past tense, it's like, he wasn't resisting anymore.
tim pool
That's not the point. The language is the point. They could have said, he's resisting, hold him down.
And this cop shows up and he's like, okay.
adam crigler
I know, but I'm seeing, I'm seeing people post about there's, there's training that when you need to restrain somebody, if their hands are tied behind their back and they're on their belly, getting on their, on their hands, sitting on their hands does the same as sitting on their neck.
tim pool
He could have set him up.
He could have set him up.
adam crigler
Or sat on his hands.
tim pool
They don't care.
adam crigler
Exactly.
tim pool
They don't care.
adam crigler
That's the key.
tim pool
So the thing is, I really don't like the racialism of everything all the time.
Because growing up on the south side of Chicago, I've seen cops just not care.
I don't care what your race is.
They didn't care about any of us.
And to me it was like, I watched white dudes get beat up, I watched Asian dudes get beat up, and I watched black dudes get beat up, and I got falsely arrested.
And so when it comes to this, like, I totally understand the anger.
And I'm not trying to dismiss it.
I'm just saying, like, we can all agree on some fundamentals and we can avoid the more contentious aspects.
And then we can talk about how you feel about this when it comes to race.
I'm not saying don't talk about it.
I'm saying if we all agree right now, this, George's rights were violated completely.
Fifth Amendment, due process, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness.
And they could have just propped him up and sat him down.
There's a lot of ways they could have done.
Like, we got to talk about the callousness and the desensitizing of the police force.
These are all things I think everybody agrees with.
Look at how they were enforcing the pandemic.
These cops didn't care about you.
At the Atlas Gym, which is by us, these guys are like, we're gonna open our business because we can't do this anymore.
They brought in, this is what we were told, it might not be true, but we were told by one of the locals there, they brought in cops from another town because they knew the local cops wouldn't want to enforce this against their own town.
unidentified
Oh wow.
tim pool
That's a problem.
Yes, that's how they get around it.
A cop who's like, I don't know you, I don't care.
And then when he... So look, it's tough.
But if you, in my opinion, cop or otherwise, if you're going to assert force over someone else, and they comply, you are responsible.
In this regard.
So anyway, I don't want to get too much into it because we got a ton of news.
So let's get started.
If you're just tuning in, we got the Super Chat going.
I think this is going to be a brutal night.
So just keep in mind we can't get to every single Super Chat.
We'll do our best.
And we'll probably go through Super Chats...
Let's get started on the first segment.
like read the much stories and super jets i think will go in between today
just because of what's going on with uh... with twitter and the shenanigans yet we do much
of stories will see we can get to because i think we're not we're we're
having a big conversation what's happening on the country
but it's it's getting it's it's not to men i agree so uh... let's just let's just get started the
first segment is out at least thirty arrested in n y c protest over death of george
floyd This is from just about an hour ago.
And I mean, it's not stopped.
We saw the protests in Los Angeles.
We're seeing them in New York.
We got these photos coming out.
Look, this is the New York Post.
We can see a bunch of photos here.
adam crigler
Oh, wow.
tim pool
This is these photos.
So I haven't seen video.
I like this cat here.
I'm gonna leave it because we're talking about heavy stuff.
So it's kind of nice.
Uh, I've seen arrests like this.
I've seen protests like this.
And, it, you know, things can get rough in New York.
New York is usually really chill relative to the places.
Like, you were with me in Baltimore.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Baltimore compared, and you were with me in New York.
adam crigler
They were, I know, yeah, it's true.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
tim pool
New York was like, you know, it's like, yeah, people are marching.
adam crigler
And Baltimore, it felt the same.
They were burning down their houses.
tim pool
No, no, no, no.
I mean, you mean like Minnesota, the same.
adam crigler
Comparative to Minnesota, yeah.
tim pool
Right, right, I'm saying like when we were in New York.
adam crigler
Oh yeah, New York is, it felt true always.
tim pool
You were like riding around on your skateboard.
Right.
It was like, you know.
But people are getting arrested.
It's just that they're not burning things down.
This actually is surprising to me, to see these photos of daytime arrests like this.
Yeah.
Because I didn't see that a whole lot when I would be covering a lot of protests in New York.
I mean, it happens, it for sure does.
But I think we're looking at one of the most, I mean, this is the worst I've ever seen it.
adam crigler
Yeah, I agree.
tim pool
In terms of a protest.
So, when I was in Ferguson, they would ride at night, and then we'd go back, and we'd go to sleep, and we'd wake up the next day, everyone would be calm, and there wouldn't be rioting.
And it was all really centralized.
Right now, we're hearing that there's rioting in St.
Paul.
So, St.
Paul is like a part of Minneapolis, but it's just different areas all over the city.
In the Ferguson riots, one area.
One street.
And then there was some stuff that happened, like, in the southern part of St.
Louis County.
adam crigler
Yeah.
Well, Baltimore was pretty widespread, though.
tim pool
Oh, yeah, Baltimore was widespread.
adam crigler
We walked around all over.
tim pool
We were driving, we saw people randomly, like, jumping through windows, like, smashing windows out.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So, there's actually... So, let me show you the breaking news stuff first, right?
So, NBC News reporting unrest erupts again.
After death of George Floyd, Minnesota governor activates National Guard.
They're coming in.
This is where things get spicy, man.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
I've seen the National Guard get called in before.
But I've not seen them called in a situation this bad.
So I'm curious as to what happens.
adam crigler
Was the National Guard in Baltimore?
tim pool
I don't think so.
adam crigler
Okay, so the, what are they, what is the sound devices, LAR?
tim pool
Oh, LRAD.
adam crigler
LRADs.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
That was Baltimore PD that had those?
tim pool
Everybody's got those.
adam crigler
Okay, okay.
tim pool
Long range acoustic device.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
These things, if you've ever heard these things, man, these are brutal.
adam crigler
Yeah.
I don't think we heard them though.
tim pool
They're weapons, but they're all, I've heard them so many times.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I actually, I actually did this thing where I went to a Brazilian expo where they were like showing off weapons and the French LRAD company is all proud and they're like blasting at everybody.
It's like, So, what it does, what they use it for, for the most part, is to make announcements.
It's impressively loud.
If you're standing, like, a block away from the cops, when they turn it on, it sounds like someone's standing right in front of you saying, you need to leave, this is a direct order, and you're like, whoa.
Literally sounds like they're standing in front of you and you can see them at the end of the block.
unidentified
When they put it on weapon mode, Make your ears bleed.
tim pool
The chirping doesn't bother me all that much.
adam crigler
No?
tim pool
They do a really, really loud and high-pitched chirp, and you cover your ears, and it's meant to, like, be distracting.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But these things can make your ears bleed if they actually weaponize them to the max.
adam crigler
They'll probably blow out your eardrums.
tim pool
And they can knock you on the ground.
That's the craziest thing.
adam crigler
Oh, wow.
tim pool
Yeah, they can do really, really, really loud, and, well, so they say.
I've never seen it done.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
I have seen people get, like, I guess I could argue a minor injury, like... And they fall down, like it's too loud.
But yeah, man.
So we're seeing all this stuff pop off.
It's been going on non-stop.
They burn down low-income housing.
They burn down... They burn down AutoZone, I think?
Like some other buildings?
lydia smith
Wendy's and McDonald's.
tim pool
Wendy's!
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
That to me... How dare you.
tim pool
And I mean this somewhat jokingly, but like for serious, like... Why?
adam crigler
Why?
tim pool
It's the best fast food restaurant.
adam crigler
I don't get it.
lydia smith
It's just a restaurant.
tim pool
I don't know.
Yeah.
And the craziest thing to me is on Twitter, they're all saying things like, you know, if an unarmed black man was killed by the police and the only thing you're caring about is that they're burning down buildings, that you're part of the problem.
And I'm like, dude, you burned down low-income housing.
lydia smith
And places people work.
tim pool
You're the baddie.
adam crigler
You know what I mean?
You're the one who lives there.
Why are you burning your own place?
tim pool
Well, it was being built.
Okay, yeah, so like a new new buildings a new building meant to help poor people that we like the community is pitching in for You don't get it.
You're the baddie dude.
Yeah, these are the they don't they don't get it I'll tell you what when you watch when you watch a video of someone going and taking a TV I'm like, that's not justice dude.
No, you don't need the TV.
adam crigler
Oh But then they'll re-at you and say, this is what you get, though.
This is what you take.
tim pool
It's your target, bro!
I don't live there!
adam crigler
It's true.
tim pool
This is what I get?
This is what's crazy to me about these riots, man.
They don't affect rich people.
They affect poor people, and this is why.
This is amazing.
There's a conspiracy theory that the writing is started by the cops or by, you know... I was looking into this because people kept posting at me saying, look at this.
adam crigler
This is what, uh, it was actually like some white folks that started this and I didn't find anything.
tim pool
I would, bro, I would be absolutely unsurprised if white Antifa started this.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
I'd be like, what else is new?
I've been to so many of these protests, even in New York, you know what they do?
unidentified
What?
tim pool
The white Antifa far leftists will crouch down in the crowd, walk into the middle of random innocent peaceful protesters, and then chuck a bottle at the cops.
And then the cops start beating the innocent, you know, the regular peaceful protesters, and then it makes everyone go nuts.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
tim pool
The far leftists, call them what you want.
Saboteurs, aggressors, what's the word I'm thinking of?
There's a word.
adam crigler
Aggressors?
tim pool
No, no, there's a word.
adam crigler
Instigators?
tim pool
No, no, no.
It's on the tip of my tongue.
Man, what's the word they call them?
People who infiltrate to start the violence.
adam crigler
Spies?
tim pool
No, no, no.
There's been evidence in the past that the police have done this, but a cop is so obvious in these crowds.
Like, even if they're wearing street clothes, you're like, dude, come on, man.
adam crigler
Yeah, they have a stance.
tim pool
It's not even that.
It's like, we've seen 45-year-old, 6'3", dudes that are like, you're middle-aged, you're kinda muscular, you're standing tall and straight, and everyone else is a lanky, almost crippled, gaunt, white, college student.
Not all of them are cops, but sometimes it's like it's very obvious, especially on the boots they're wearing.
But I did talk about this earlier today.
In Ferguson, they definitely thought it was a conspiracy because they thought the police were trying to start the riots.
The people who were riding weren't from there.
And that's something we actually heard, again, about Minnesota.
The people who are riding right now in Minneapolis aren't from there.
lydia smith
Yeah, that's what I heard.
adam crigler
So they rode in just to get some free stuff.
tim pool
Free stuff, baby.
What's really frustrating is that you have these far-left magazines that write... There was an article, it was written, it was called, In Defense of Looting.
And they were trying to argue that this is the most evil, evil thing I've ever seen.
Evil.
They argue that the people in these communities are rioting to push back on the oppressive system and finally take what's theirs and blah blah blah.
The only problem?
In Ferguson, the people rioting didn't live in Ferguson.
So what was happening was you had this moment where these Ferguson residents linked arms to defend the liquor store that was one of the stores being looted.
And they're basically saying, please help us.
These people who don't live here are destroying our community.
And then the leftists are like, well, they're only alluding to fight back against oppression.
Meanwhile, the poor, underprivileged community is saying, please, please stop them.
Yeah.
That was gruesome.
adam crigler
It just makes me think of this tweet that I retweeted from Dominic Clare.
He started by saying, if I ever get killed by the police, I beg you not to burn my city and my community to the ground.
And I was like, man.
And then he added more.
He said, we are angry.
Great.
Let's use that.
But let's not let George Floyd die in vain.
And that's what feels like it's happening.
It's like any upper hand that they had that they should have used, they're losing.
And it's not even them, which is the point that you're making.
It's being stolen from them.
Exactly.
tim pool
And then you have these high profile activists, for whatever reason, defend the opportunists who are exploiting this community.
You want to know what's really sad?
Man, this one got me.
A video surfaced of George Floyd.
Telling kids to knock off the gang culture, gun violence stuff.
You're not being tough when you do this.
adam crigler
That's awesome.
We need to remember his message.
tim pool
Do you know why he got stopped by the cops?
A $20 counterfeit bill.
you know that you know why he got stopped by the cops now oh yeah you you mentioned one of the twenty dollar
adam crigler
counterfeit bill he probably didn't know
tim pool
Maybe?
I'm not gonna assume he did or he didn't.
adam crigler
Well, in this country, he's innocent until proven guilty.
So as far as I'm concerned, he's an innocent man.
tim pool
First and foremost.
adam crigler
Or was an innocent man.
tim pool
I know people are gonna say this.
First and foremost, no matter what he did, he shouldn't have died.
adam crigler
Absolutely.
tim pool
Here's the thing, too, about this country.
You can be a bloodthirsty murderer rampaging around like...
And we still catch you and you stand trial.
We made the Nazis stand trial because we want everyone to see and know exactly what they did, why they did it, and why we do this to maintain that standard and say we believe in justice and truth and exposing this.
And that's one of the biggest problems when they do this and it's terrifying that in this country people assume if you're arrested you're guilty.
So first and foremost, I don't care what he did.
He stands trial.
Everyone does.
And people are saying this about some of the worst of the worst terrorists in the world.
We want them to stand trial for their crimes.
We want them to sit in that chair so we can point the finger and we can provide that justice, that moment to the victims, no matter who they are.
adam crigler
Exactly.
tim pool
So this guy don't care.
But then you realize they claimed he was resisting.
Then we see a video where it's like, at worst it seems like he may have passively resisted by falling over.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Or maybe fell over.
adam crigler
Which isn't resisting, right?
If you just go limp, right?
tim pool
Exactly.
It's the opposite of resisting.
It might be annoying for the cops, but going limp, they pick you up and then it's like, Activists are told, specifically by lawyers, you know, just like, you're a ragdoll.
Because then they'll pick you up and they'll carry you on.
Now, I get this guy was big.
But even if he was doing that, let's say he did decide to passively resist, which I don't think he did.
Wide knee on his neck?
adam crigler
Right, why?
tim pool
And then to make it all worse, Yeah.
Counterfeit $20 bill.
This is why this all happened?
adam crigler
Yeah, counterfeit $20 bill.
tim pool
Wait, you mean to tell me these cops were like, whoa, whoa, whoa, we got 20 bucks.
We got to get all these guys, round them all up, put them on the ground.
unidentified
Seriously?
tim pool
That's crazy to me.
Like, when you watch the video, they have him sitting up against the wall.
And then they walk over, pick him up, and start walking to the car.
And then you see him.
It looks like he may fall over near the car.
I'm not entirely sure.
It's hard to tell.
And then we don't know what happens next.
But in the next video, you see the cop with the knee on his neck and he's saying, please, please, I can't breathe.
How does this happen over these trivial things?
adam crigler
All I know is he was alive when the cop was on his neck.
That is a fact.
There's a video of that.
And then he's dead.
tim pool
And I'm laughing because it's like...
The reason I'm laughing is it's just the absurdity of how simple all of this is.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
A guy's got your knee on his neck.
adam crigler
Mm-hmm.
tim pool
I can't breathe.
Please, please get your knee off his neck, dude.
adam crigler
As soon as you're in their custody, they're responsible.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Is that not the law?
I'm fairly certain that's the way it is.
As soon as they handcuff you, you're in their custody and they're your responsibility.
tim pool
Check out this clip.
of this guy minnesota prosecutor says video showing george floyds death is
terrible but says there's other evidence that does not support a criminal charge
you know a man on the last person and Then why did you fire them then?
adam crigler
If they were supposedly doing their job and there's other evidence that doesn't support any criminal charge.
tim pool
To be fair, I think there's a line between losing your job and going to prison.
adam crigler
And being prosecuted for killing somebody.
tim pool
I mean like, if you work at a cafe and you take coffee and you slam it on the ground like they're going to fire you.
Now if you do the same thing but in an old man's face, then you get arrested.
adam crigler
But isn't manslaughter when someone dies and you're not You're not murdering somebody, but someone dies because of something you did.
tim pool
Exactly.
adam crigler
Right.
That's still something that he needs to be held accountable.
Right.
It's manslaughter.
tim pool
Right.
I agree.
And I think the argument they're going to go with is...
But cops are supposed to subdue people, therefore it's not manslaughter.
adam crigler
He seemed pretty subdued.
tim pool
This is what they do when it comes to police and these kinds of incidents.
They say, in a normal circumstance, if you killed this person, it would be manslaughter.
However, because the police are tasked with going to the community and engaging with people in this way, and sometimes they have to subdue people, it's the normal course of his job, it was an accident.
They're probably going to argue the knee on the neck is a standard, you know, procedure to subdue someone and he didn't realize or something like that.
adam crigler
But that's not, that's not standard procedure.
I've had people hit me up today about it saying, even someone in chat, I believe earlier said, I have a friend in the PD that says that is not standard procedure to kneel on someone's neck.
tim pool
I've had that happen to me.
adam crigler
Someone knelt on your neck?
unidentified
Yes.
adam crigler
A cop.
tim pool
In Chicago.
adam crigler
Well, it's not standard procedure.
lydia smith
Shouldn't be done.
tim pool
I'm not saying... Yeah, right, right, right.
adam crigler
It's them taking their power and doing whatever they want to do.
tim pool
I'm saying they argue, like, oh... Like in Eric Garner, they said, no one use a chokehold.
Then a video came out, you see the guy going like... Right.
adam crigler
Clearly chokeholding him.
tim pool
I'll be careful because, you know, I know a lot of people have followed up on these stories.
Like, when I mentioned Freddie Gray, people were like, hey, Tim, you were wrong about this.
I'm like, right, right, right.
I haven't read the Freddie Gray stuff, followed up on it in a long time.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
I don't know how we solve for this problem.
I don't like the idea that the only reason anything's happening is because of an outrage mob, and we have no, you know, like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Like with the Ahmaud Arbery stuff, I'm like, dude, unless we have hard evidence, this is a really murky case.
This one, it's like, that guy was saying, please, I'm dying, and you didn't do anything, you know what I mean?
Imagine this way.
Imagine there's a guy laying on the ground, and there's no cop on his neck.
Imagine there's three cops surrounding a guy on the ground who's grasping at his chest saying, help me, I'm dying.
And when people try to get close, the cops push him back.
And then the guy dies on the ground.
They would still be responsible for that.
You see what I'm saying?
Yeah.
You're right.
Even if the cop didn't do anything to him, it's like there's a guy dying saying, please I'm dying.
Then you got to administer some kind of health help.
You know, I get it.
People say, you know, criminals like to lie and pretend they're sick and they're dying.
So cops just don't care anymore.
And I'm like, I get it, but that doesn't matter.
You can't assume someone's faking it because sometimes people fake it.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
The standard is on you.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Like you are using the power of the state against a citizen who has constitutional rights.
And so you always have that higher standard.
You can't get relaxed.
adam crigler
And what I'm seeing now is, oh, well, he just got fired.
That's it.
That's setting the precedent that cops can continue doing what they've been doing.
Because this isn't the first time this has happened.
tim pool
You know what's the worst thing about this, though?
adam crigler
Tell me.
tim pool
The rioting actually starts to break that precedent.
And it started to.
And I would argue now it's reversed it in a sense.
At first, you would hear a lot of these stories, and they would immediately come out and say, we're not charging or firing anybody, and everyone would get mad.
Then riots started happening.
Now they panic.
Now they're like, we fired them, you're right, it was racism, the FBI is coming in, these guys are going down, and they still riot.
Thus proving, and riot worse.
lydia smith
From the beginning, yeah.
I could not believe how fast it was.
tim pool
Thus proving, capitulating to the rioting did nothing.
adam crigler
Well, because everybody, including me, are going, they're just getting fired?
That's it?
They're getting away with manslaughter?
No, no, no.
tim pool
What you're arguing is, so what these people are arguing is, because these guys weren't arrested, charged, or indicted and convicted in 24 hours, they're gonna riot?
It's like, well, hold on.
It just happened.
And everyone agrees with you.
The president's called it out and directed the FBI.
The FBI is investigating.
The mayor said it was a racist situation.
It needs to be, you know, these guys need to face justice and justice will be had.
The guys were immediately fired.
And now we're waiting.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
You're right.
That's a good point.
tim pool
But nobody wants to wait.
So why should anyone do anything if apologizing and actually giving in does nothing?
So you could argue, all the bad writing and everything we saw.
Well, for a minute there, maybe they made a point.
If they didn't riot and they said, they could have come up triumphantly and said, you know all those riots in the past?
It's the only reason these people are listening to us now.
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
No, they're not going to listen to you, bro.
Because the writing in the past meant nothing.
Because as soon as they do give in, you still riot.
It's like cancel culture.
You know, Jimmy Fallon apologizes.
You see that Twitter thread?
He apologizes for that joke 20 years ago.
They don't care.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Nah, they tear into him like crazy.
Here, pull up the Twitter because we got some images from Unicorn Riot.
If you guys aren't familiar, Unicorn Riot is like a lefty, independent, non-profit news.
They actually operate out of Minnesota.
And they got a bunch of photos going back a couple hours.
They said that Verizon had its windows smashed out.
Look at these.
We got some photos of tear gas, it looks like, in a parking lot.
unidentified
Looks like a SuperTarget.
tim pool
Yeah, it's like a SuperTarget shop.
Look at this, man.
The Vitamin Shop.
They took out noodles and company?
Now that's the line, man.
I'm kidding, by the way.
Look at Verizon!
They got shutters.
They're not playing around.
unidentified
Oh, man.
tim pool
Check this out.
They got video here.
Tear gas.
In a Target parking lot.
Dozens of police vehicles lined up in front of Target.
A burning bush in front of the building was extinguished.
They're trying to start- You were right, it was a SuperTarget.
unidentified
It was, huh?
tim pool
Yeah, did you see the- Look.
It's a super target.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
tim pool
They're trying to start fires in the middle of the day.
They never stopped.
And so I think... I think that's it for this thread, but I actually have, uh... It's like 3 p.m.
unidentified
today.
tim pool
They've been posting more, so this one is actually from 747 p.m.
Eastern.
So right before we started, we got this video of... of... Oh, hold on.
Let me do this.
Let me, uh... Whoa, what are they?
adam crigler
What are they shooting at?
tim pool
Let me turn on the audio for you guys.
Uh, so it sounds like tear gas.
unidentified
Cops are approaching now.
That's the furniture barn that's right here.
People stole a couple of cars from there earlier.
Some more tear gas.
tim pool
Did you hear that?
People stole cars from here earlier.
adam crigler
So they're stealing cars.
tim pool
Do you hear about the guy in the pawn shop?
adam crigler
Yeah, got the the one that got shot and killed.
tim pool
Yep.
And everyone's mad about it.
Man, look.
adam crigler
You're mad that the guy defended his property?
tim pool
I'm anti-death penalty.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And I'm not going to argue against... You break into someone's house.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
They defend themselves from you.
So the point is, I don't want anyone to die.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Agreed.
So if you're trying to break in and you're attacking their property, I don't want the store owner to die.
unidentified
Then, you know, it falls down onto the... There's more of you than there are of him.
tim pool
The dude who dies is the dude who kicked the door in.
lydia smith
Yep.
adam crigler
And that's what happened.
tim pool
And people are freaking out about it.
And the crazy thing too is the cops are doing CPR on the guy and people thought the cops did it.
They're just making everything worse.
So here's another clip from Unicorn Ride.
They're doing an ongoing thread.
This is from 15 minutes ago.
So I don't know what other tweets I have.
Oh, so this is the Cassandra stuff.
We'll get to that in a second.
We'll talk about the, whatchacallit, the pawn shop.
store messages sprayed with black paint left of the windows rip George and then
I think it says f12 black lives matter George Floyd protests are ongoing in the
Twin Cities and New York you know New York as we know it now so I don't know
what what other tweets I have oh so this is the Cassandra stuff we'll get to that
in a second with we'll talk about the the what you call it the the pawn shop
yeah so anyway I think we have this We can talk a bit now about, like, the online reaction, too.
Unless, I don't know, is there anything you thought we should tackle?
adam crigler
I mean, we... We don't know.
I mean, we've said it all, I feel.
Yeah, you know, there's... It's a shame, because it does truly feel like they're just taking advantage of George now, and it seems like he was such an amazing person.
I'm getting angry, bro.
I'm getting real angry right now, man.
of violence. You know, I wish I wish you had that video pulled up, you know, because I
want I want people to know that I didn't even know you told me this earlier and I was like,
wow, that was such a cool video. What an awesome dude. What a shame that he has now lost his
life because moved, you know, when he's getting angry, I'm getting angry, bro. I'm getting
tim pool
real angry right now, man. Why? George Floyd calls for an end to gun violence and resurface
adam crigler
video. It's like, man, this is the kind of people we need in this world, you know, an
And he was taken out for a $20 bill, as I'm finding out.
A $20 bill.
tim pool
I mean, that's what's reported.
I'll be the wet blanket, because I'm always, you know, pulling back.
He might not have been a saint.
Yeah, true.
He could be that nasty guy who comes to your house, farts all over the place, takes your food, and walks out, and you're like, man, I can't... Sure.
And he's still just another dude, and he's got a... But this video just lends so much more to his character, and I'm just like... Agreed.
This is the guy?
Yep.
I wish this message... Our young generation is clearly lost, man.
Let me read this for you guys.
This is from the New York Post.
George Floyd calls for an end to gun violence in a resurfaced video.
George Floyd, the 46-year-old Minnesota man who died at the hands of white cops, urged the younger generation to put an end to gun violence in newly emerged video, according to a report.
It's clearly the generation after us that's so lost, man.
adam crigler
I agree with him, dude.
tim pool
But, you know, older generations always say it's about younger generations.
adam crigler
True, that's true.
tim pool
Floyd says in the undated footage that circulated on Twitter on Wednesday before urging them to come home, Our young are clearly lost, man, clearly lost.
I don't even know what to say anymore.
You youngster is just going around busting guns in crowds, kids getting killed.
Floyd also expressed his disgust after hearing that an adult had apparently condoned the use of firearms.
Man, I knew it was crazy then, eh, N-word my age, saying it and condoning this S-bro.
You know what I'm saying?
And half of them young, N-word, shooting guns go home and their knees shaking at night, but they don't show it to nobody because they aren't tough then.
Come on now.
Come on home, man.
It's going to be you and God.
You're going up or you're going down.
Floyd died, man.
unidentified
Oof.
adam crigler
I'm pissed.
That's heavy, yo.
tim pool
Seriously, dude.
That makes me angry.
Growing up in Chicago, one of the biggest problems I have, and it's something that's often brought up a lot by conservatives, is that there's a lot of gun violence among young people in the black community in Chicago.
And I did an interview with a woman who was amazingly pro-Second Amendment, Chicago, urban liberal, And she said, we need to stop the illegal guns, man.
She was like, I should have a right to carry my weapon, to protect myself, and we gotta do something to stop the illegal guns these people are getting, and that's the big problem we're looking at.
And she was talking about gun violence and stuff.
And like, growing up in Chicago, I'm like, dude, yes.
It just makes everything worse.
Like, bro, if you, you know what one of the leading causes of gun violence among young people in Chicago is?
adam crigler
What?
tim pool
They think it's gangs.
It's not.
It's like social media beef.
adam crigler
Oh yeah, that's right.
tim pool
Social media beef.
lydia smith
Oh my gosh.
tim pool
So, uh, there was one story that I was on.
It was a Nightcrawler beat.
I went out with some journalists.
We found out some dude got killed because someone on Snapchat called him, you know, a punk A B. You know, messing with my girl and stuff like that.
So the dude gets in his car and drives up and bang bang bang bang bang.
I don't know who this guy was, George Floyd.
I don't know about his personal life, and I don't know about most of his character, just because you see one or two good things.
But I'll tell you this, if I don't know you, I'm going to assume in a more positive direction and try and be a more optimistic person.
lydia smith
Yeah, for sure.
adam crigler
Same.
tim pool
Especially when it comes to issues of law enforcement.
But I'll tack on this.
I'm totally biased right now, especially after seeing this video.
The only image I have of this man right now is that he was a good dude.
That's the assumption I'm making.
adam crigler
Against gun violence.
tim pool
Against gun violence.
adam crigler
Trying to help his community.
tim pool
Think about what he said.
It's gonna be you and God.
You're going up or you're going down.
He's telling those kids to get right.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
That makes me angry, man.
And then when I think about, you know when I see these videos, like the cop walking into the car, you don't know what happened.
You don't know if things got crazy.
You add this to that, you add the previous video that wasn't resisting, and now it's like... Hold on, hold on.
adam crigler
And then you add the picture of the cop that's kneeling on his neck, Make America White Again, wearing that hat.
tim pool
Why would he be wearing that white hat?
What do you mean?
adam crigler
Did you not see the picture of him?
It's the same cop wearing Make America White Again.
tim pool
He was wearing that hat?
adam crigler
Yes.
tim pool
No way.
adam crigler
I don't know if it's true or not, but I've seen it floating around.
tim pool
Nah, nah, that sounds fake, dude.
adam crigler
I've seen it floating around, dude.
That would be like... But people are... I mean, people are... I've seen it.
If I've seen it, they've seen it.
tim pool
Let's pull up.
adam crigler
Yeah, I don't like that.
Find it, find it.
lydia smith
Yeah, let's investigate this for sure.
tim pool
Actually, can you start digging that up?
Because I think it's going to require a little bit.
unidentified
Oh, I already know.
tim pool
We gotta be real careful on that stuff.
lydia smith
I already know.
adam crigler
Well, for the record, I've seen this picture floating around a lot today.
They're spreading it around.
They got a picture of him on his neck, and the picture next to each other, and they're like, boom.
tim pool
So in a different picture, this guy was wearing it.
adam crigler
Different picture, yeah.
tim pool
Oh, man.
We definitely gotta find that.
adam crigler
Yeah, absolutely.
But think about that, you know?
It's like, man, if this is the case, it's not only... Oh, okay, so people are saying it's a fake picture.
lydia smith
Yeah, that's a fake picture.
It's not the same guy.
adam crigler
Alright, so it being fake, that's still being spread around.
lydia smith
Yeah, it's a little piece of propaganda.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's more tinder on the flame of what's going on today.
tim pool
Let me just give a shout-out to the chat.
We have the best fact-checkers in real time.
lydia smith
Oh my gosh, look at this fact-checking.
adam crigler
I love it.
Yo, seriously, I love our chat.
lydia smith
I love it.
adam crigler
I love our chat.
Shout-out to all our people here with us, because you guys are awesome.
I really appreciate you all.
tim pool
We got 50 million chats coming in every second, and it's all fake, fake, fake, fake.
adam crigler
Good, that's cool.
tim pool
But I'm like, I can't read any individual one, but seeing fake a thousand times, I'm like, we got it.
lydia smith
I'm glad it is fake.
adam crigler
That's fine, that's fine.
I wasn't saying that that is the case.
It is out there and people believe it because that is what happened.
They don't even read an article, they see the title and post it along and be like, see?
I'm justified.
Let's go loot more.
tim pool
This is what's really making me angry.
I was talking to a friend of mine who is lefty.
Doesn't follow any conservative news, any conservative personalities.
And I brought up that they're showing these memes of libertarian and conservative two-way activists standing on the steps of Michigan or, you know, reopen activists.
And they're saying things like, look what happens when these white people with guns, no one does anything to them.
And the joking thing, the first and foremost is like, makes a good point about the Second Amendment, right?
Like the cops don't want to get there.
Someone made a really great point about this.
They tweeted at me and they said, It's not... Someone tweeted something like,
if you give all these rioters weapons and the police start firing tear gas,
what do you think would happen? And they responded with no, because the police would be very, very careful if they were
dealing with armed activists marching. They wouldn't just start firing
at people. They would back off.
And they'd calm down because they're trying to desperately avoid a confrontation.
lydia smith
They have to de-escalate.
tim pool
Here's what really bugged me out, talking to my friend, and no dig at my friend, my friend just, you know, I was like, it's sad to me that these 2A activists standing on these steps agree about this guy getting his life taken away from him.
And I'm like, this could have been an amazing moment to say, you know, we may disagree on a lot having to do with this, but we can all agree there needs to be justice.
And then there could have been this unity.
But it really, really messes with me when you see the left doesn't care about what conservatives think.
They don't care who these people are.
And I'm like, why are you ragging on these guys?
They didn't do anything to you.
This was an opportunity for you to reach out your hand and say, we need your help.
Like, this guy's rights were violated.
And they would have been like, yeah.
It's sad, man.
People are so driven by tribalism.
I was telling my friend, I was like, what's really fascinating right now about what's happening across the country is that these urban cops have lost the goodwill of so many individuals on the right for violating the Constitution with these decrees.
I'm not talking about small-town cops.
I'm talking about NYPD and LAPD, when they were given an executive decree by the governor, and then all these conservatives were like, you can't do this, and they were like, watch me.
And it's like, wow.
And I'm seeing people call them oath breakers.
And I'm like, yes!
lydia smith
Technically correct.
adam crigler
That is correct.
tim pool
Because we saw the good cops.
Like that guy in Seattle.
I'm not going to enforce these unconstitutional laws.
adam crigler
He gets fired for it.
And it's like, that's a boss right there.
Upholding the Constitution.
tim pool
I love that.
I really there was there was there was I think I think it was the mother of all rallies.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
It was called where a bunch of Trump supporters doing a big thing in D.C. Black Lives Matter
show up to protest it. And then the Trump supporters invited him on stage. I love that.
Yeah. Yeah. It was I think it was Hank Newsome who was a Black Lives Matter lefty cultural
guy. OK. A lot of things I disagree with him on. But he's a cool dude.
He really is.
I think he's a cool dude.
So he shows up, and they're there to protest, but the Trump supporters were like, why don't you come on stage and tell us?
We want to respect you, and this is America.
adam crigler
Yeah, we want to hear your side of things.
tim pool
And you know what ended up happening?
At first, everyone was a little apprehensive.
And then, I think it was Hank, he said, we're not anti-cop.
We're anti-bad cop.
adam crigler
Boom.
tim pool
We want our constitutional rights.
And then the crowd goes, yeah!
lydia smith
That's great, yeah.
tim pool
We can all agree on that.
adam crigler
And I'm like, yes!
Yeah, exactly.
And he probably wasn't expecting that.
tim pool
No, they thought they were enemies.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And then, when he came down, apparently, like, like, there's photos, like, everyone's, like, trying to get pictures with him, and they're like, you're really great.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Like, this is exactly what we've been saying.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Not realizing.
And that, you know what makes me angry?
You see these... Sarah Silverman.
You see, you see these celebrities.
adam crigler
Yeah, I saw that, right.
tim pool
They're the ones driving a wedge between us, because we may disagree on racial issues and social justice, but we agree on our fundamental rights.
And there's a line where we might be like, I won't stand next to you because I think you're going nuts, but for fundamental issues like this, we can solve this problem.
I think it's, uh, to be a bit more on the conspiratorial side, it's a, they don't want us to.
You know what I mean?
I think I mentioned this the other day, that comic about Occupy Wall Street.
It's a fat cat, rich guy in his room, and then there's a bunch of people outside with Occupy signs, and then he's on the phone laughing, saying, introduce them to identity politics.
And that's it.
And then all of a sudden they're fighting each other.
adam crigler
And that's, They're trying to maintain that class system that they have in place.
tim pool
Make the poor people fight each other and they don't got to fight us.
That's what the crazy thing about Occupy.
Occupy was everybody versus the 1%.
And then all of a sudden, the millionaire black woman is now oppressed and the homeless white man is the oppressor.
lydia smith
So would you say that that was the start of this?
tim pool
Identity politics.
adam crigler
Occupy?
tim pool
Occupy.
Um, Occupy was one of the first social justice, like, moments in culture.
But it had started a couple years earlier in media.
And then it manifested physically, as far as I can tell, for the first time with Occupy
It was very... Because even during Occupy, it wasn't absolute.
Like the social justice, SJW dogma stuff, it wasn't absolute.
There were people arguing over it.
If there was an Occupy protest today, it would 100% be social justice dogma intersectionality.
I always call it, you know, that's the proper name.
Back then, a lot of people disagreed with it.
And there was only a small handful of people enforcing it.
Because half of the park didn't agree with it, and half did.
This is a crazy story, man, with Occupy.
There was a group of people living in the park who separated and formed their own governing body.
They called it the General Union.
The General Assembly was the power structure.
It was college-educated, upper-class, and trust fund kids.
They lived in Brooklyn.
They would take the train to the park, hold meetings dictating what to do with all the money they raised.
The people who lived in the park, the poor people, decided, because they couldn't get fair representation at the General Assembly, that they would create their own system called the General Union, where your voting power was based on your tent.
So you had all these tents.
And they said, everybody sends a rep from their tent.
So if there's two or three people in a tent, one person goes and we make decisions.
They were going to have their own meeting on the other side of the park.
It was the west side of the park.
And facilitators, they called them, showed up and shut the event down and wouldn't let them organize.
It was the creepiest thing I'd ever seen.
Yep.
And one of the dudes who organized started crying.
So, like, I got threatened by two guys.
They told me to shut up or they'd shut me up.
Because I was just filming.
I'm like, these guys have something to say.
And they were like, The General Assembly activists showed up to their side and started going, Mike, check, Mike, check, Mike, check, over and over again.
And the crowd just mindlessly drones along so that no meeting could take place.
That was creepy.
That was really creepy.
And then the only thing you could do was go to the General Assembly.
They started putting up flyers saying anybody collecting donations for Occupy was scamming you.
So the only way to give them money was through their official channel, where they made a bunch of money.
One guy was spending nights at luxury hotels.
People were stealing stuff.
lydia smith
Oh, man.
tim pool
Yep.
Yep.
lydia smith
Sounds like corruption.
tim pool
Absolute corruption.
Absolute corruption.
And there was one moment, the way that, because the General Assembly didn't work, it was like, the General Assembly was everyone sits down, and then they say, I want to do this, and then everyone raises their hands.
If someone blocked it by making an X, it was stopped until you could get past that block.
One block, it was done.
Unless they move for like a supermajority.
And there was one moment where they were trying to do something with money and there were a bunch of people blocking it.
And so then they said, we can't move forward because we have all these blocks.
We're going to vote for a supermajority.
And the guy just, everyone raises their hands and a bunch of people make the block sign.
And then he goes, Yep, yep, we got it, we're good.
He goes, no, we're good. We're good everybody and then they were like no no no no no
Wait, what?
He didn't even count.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
No, he lied.
He just rushed it through.
One woman claimed that she, like she said, I guess privately, that it got too complicated dealing with what people wanted to vote on.
So she would just buy whatever she wanted with the money.
lydia smith
Wow.
At least she's honest.
tim pool
So anyway, I know I'm going off on a tangent on Occupy stuff.
adam crigler
That's alright.
tim pool
But early on, I guess a lot of people don't know this, there were older people there, there were libertarians there, there were people waving the American flag, there were conservatives.
And two things conspired to end that.
The first is that young people have more ability to just sleep in a park.
There was, like, a 60-year-old man and woman.
They can't sleep in a park.
lydia smith
Yeah, their Woodstock days are over.
Right.
tim pool
They showed up.
They were there for one weekend, came back the next weekend, and then went home.
The people who had jobs said, that was a fun weekend, and went home.
But the people who were... There was a couple trust fund kids there.
Like, they just had trust funds.
They didn't have to do anything.
So you ended up with conservatives who have jobs, libertarians who have jobs, and older people who tend to be conservative needing to leave, leaving nothing but young idealists who didn't work.
lydia smith
Interesting.
tim pool
natural selection. And then several weeks later, it was a bunch of young people who didn't do
anything. There was a lot of corruption, man. There was one, one, something happened where
rumors started spreading that Radiohead was going to play a performance.
Totally fake. And then when thousands of people showed up, they were like,
Radiohead's not playing, but now we're going to do a general assembly and you're going to stay.
And everyone was scared because they didn't want to create the appearance that they only showed up for Radiohead, so it tricked thousands of people into staying in the park for that duration.
unidentified
Dude, that stuff was so corrupt.
tim pool
And what's funny is, you know what's really, really scary about my experience with Occupy Wall Street?
adam crigler
What?
tim pool
I'm not going to write a book about it.
The people who do write books about it are the ones who are romanticizing it.
lydia smith
You gotta write a book about it, Tim.
unidentified
Nope.
lydia smith
Why not?
tim pool
Because I don't care.
unidentified
Oh.
tim pool
And that's the point.
Maybe if I write a book at some point, I will write about it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But, you know what'll happen?
Twelve, twenty-four, thirty-six activists will say Tim pulls lung.
That never happened.
And they'll say, oh, well, it's disputed.
See, all of these people who are there agree.
Yeah, all the people who want it to be glorified.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Who ignore the corruption, who ignore how money was stolen.
adam crigler
Or were part of it.
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Exactly.
The people who'd be accused would be, so what'll happen is they'll do a fact check and be like, well, they say it never happened.
You say it did.
And this other guy said you're lying.
So now we have three people saying you're lying.
That's why I'm not going to get involved.
There have already been books written about it that glorify everything.
adam crigler
Well, I was there with you.
I can vouch for you.
unidentified
Akiboi?
lydia smith
Yeah, second person.
adam crigler
That's when I first met you.
tim pool
You did?
unidentified
Really?
tim pool
I don't remember meeting you at Akiboi.
You mentioned it to me before, but I only remember meeting you at the Game Shop in 2014.
adam crigler
That's what, yeah, that's true.
Well, I was there at Wall Street and I saw you and Luke.
tim pool
Oh, right on.
adam crigler
And I think I said, no, I don't think I said anything.
Maybe we didn't meet at that time, but I don't know.
tim pool
Were you like, oh, that's the first time we met?
adam crigler
Yeah, it was at the game shop, yeah.
tim pool
And then you were like, come hang out, we play poker night, but it's magic.
I was like, yeah, cool.
adam crigler
Yeah, I went down there a few times, though.
tim pool
At first it was kind of cool, and then it had this period where it became colonial Williamsburg, where tourists were walking in.
One of the funniest things was when they gave dumpster food to tourists.
I loved that.
I walked up and I watched them handing out food to tourists.
Like tourists would come by and they would have food laid out and they'd be like, ooh, what's this?
Like, it's free, you can have it.
adam crigler
Little did I know there was vegan pizza.
No, I wasn't vegan at the time.
tim pool
But no, it was funny because I watched them giving out food and then I asked them where they got the food from and they were like dumpster diving.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And I said, are you crazy?
Do you have any idea what the press would say if they found out you were giving dumpster food to people?
And they immediately panicked and like shuffled it into the trash and were like, oops.
lydia smith
What were they thinking?
tim pool
They're idealistic hippies who think that like, Dumpster food is fine.
They weren't giving people like rotten burgers that were half-eaten.
It was like sealed yogurts that were like a day from expiration.
And the point I'm making is not that like they've got moldy food.
adam crigler
Freagons.
tim pool
Exactly, they were freagons.
They were finding stores that were getting rid of food that was about to spoil or a couple days past expiration.
And they're like, it's still food and it's still good.
You know what's scary about that though?
These freagons don't realize that you might not see the mold or the botulism on it.
adam crigler
I think it's gross.
tim pool
That's why you get rid of it.
It's gross.
They say that, like, when you see the mold on the bread, that means the bread was already moldy.
Like, the mold is on it before you can't see it.
They were giving that stuff out?
Yeah, dude.
So, it's very much so in the vein of history is written by the winners.
You've got all of these activists who want it to be this gloriful, like, the glorious revolution of Occupy, when in reality it was a mash-up, mangled, Like, conspiracy-ridden, corrupt, really just awful thing.
But I will tell you one funny thing about it.
The evolution of music at Occupy Wall Street was absolutely hilarious.
When Occupy first started, people were just banging on buckets.
Then all of a sudden they introduced some, like, wind instruments.
Then someone showed up, like, do-do-do-do-do.
Then someone brought string, and I'm like, by the end of it, there was a full band with real drums, and I was like, it was almost like the evolution of humanity in music.
lydia smith
Yeah, like literally the evolution music from the Stone Age.
tim pool
Exactly.
lydia smith
That's awesome.
tim pool
Like, they slowly started incorporating more and more instruments.
That, to me, was really, really funny.
But yeah, so let's do this.
Let's talk about Cassandra.
adam crigler
Yeah, let's do this.
It is pretty funny what's going on.
tim pool
Cassandra may be watching.
adam crigler
She's having a field day.
tim pool
Cassandra Fairbanks is a friend of mine.
She is a high-profile journalist personality.
Twitterer.
Depending on who you ask, there's one article that calls her a MAGA fluencer.
adam crigler
I feel like anyone, you either love her or you can't stand her at all.
I mean, I don't think there's a middle ground with her because she's, you know, she's just she's just a bold personality.
tim pool
She's trolling really hard.
So anyway, she's a proper troll.
Let's pull up this tweet right here.
The reason why this story is epic is that cancel culture is coming for Cassandra Fairbanks.
And there's nothing they can do.
So let me show you this first tweet.
Cassandra, you may follow her.
She's got a couple hundred thousand followers.
She works for the Gateway Pundit.
She also writes for the Detroit Herald.
And she, for a long time, was like a very high profile Trump supporter.
I don't know if you could call her a Trump supporter right now, But I don't really know what to call Cassandra other than, uh, what did she say?
Federal court says I trolled the web through Twitter and information terrorist per wired free press free speech free Assange district herald.
So there you go.
She's a high profile Twitterer and writer.
And so she started tweeting offensive things about the looters.
Now, I shouldn't say offensive.
She started saying things like, Looting your own community and burning down your own community is not justice.
And then people started coming at her being like, you know, F you, you're the worst.
So she leaned hard into it.
unidentified
What a spicy take.
adam crigler
She leaned into the wind.
tim pool
Oh yeah, dude.
So now they want to get her cancelled.
And this really made my day.
Someone said, get her fired.
And she responded, you can't, lol.
That's why this is so fun.
I've been canceled like five times, so I'm prepared.
I have multiple sources of income, and they're rage mob proof.
And here's where it gets really hilarious.
It's awesome.
So this guy tweets at the District Herald.
This is what we allowing now?
She can't be touched?
adam crigler
Oh, word.
tim pool
Like he- Karen.
So, so, yeah, yeah.
Karen.
This guy's Karen times 10.
So hold on.
He tweets, he quote tweets, Cassandra adding District Herald because she writes for District Herald thinking, Oh, she can't be touched.
Oh yeah.
Right.
Not realizing that's her.
You can't cancel her.
It's her company.
She writes for it.
And then, uh, she said, I'm never going to stop laughing at this.
And I don't know if I have the tweet pulled up.
Oh, this one's funny too.
We'll come back to that one.
adam crigler
But, uh, I think it's the next one right here.
tim pool
This one?
Yes, yes, there it is.
So she quote tweets the guy who tries to get her canceled saying, are we allowing this now?
Saying, we are shocked by this behavior and we'll be responding appropriately by giving her a raise.
Dude, it's amazing.
Cancel culture is failing.
adam crigler
Counter-troll.
tim pool
Counter-troll.
I did a segment on this earlier.
When Joe mentioned in that interview with Barry Weiss that podcasters going independent means they can't get cancelled.
They don't work for anybody.
And I'm like, now this is an epic iteration of that.
Yeah, cheers, mate.
This is the best.
All of these, you know, internet Karens who are like, I want to speak to the manager.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
Tagging your, like trying to tag your job to get you fired.
Sorry, buddy.
Don't work anymore.
adam crigler
Nope.
tim pool
I hope that as more people become independent, because Cassandra can't get canceled for being a troll on Twitter, and she's clearly joking with a lot of the things she's saying, like trying to troll people.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I hope companies see this and then stop reacting.
Because what's going to happen right now?
Is District Herald going to lose advertisers?
No.
adam crigler
Nope.
tim pool
I don't even know if it does have any.
Is Cassandra going to get fired?
What, is she going to fire herself?
Can't do anything.
adam crigler
I don't think that's going to happen.
tim pool
Right.
And so now think about all the other companies that are susceptible to this.
I mean, what happens in the end?
I'll tell you, man.
I worked for a big company and I don't want to work anymore because of this kind of stuff.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
I started my own company.
adam crigler
I'm so happy you're my boss.
lydia smith
Same, honestly.
tim pool
But now it's no one can tell me what to do.
So think about what happens at all these big companies where they have hot talent.
Do you want to risk getting fired?
unidentified
No.
tim pool
Nah, you guys got your own company, man.
adam crigler
Or work for someone who's awesome.
Who believes in this kind of stuff.
I'm sure working for Cassandra at District Herald, you'd be fine.
tim pool
You'd be trolling and they would tag District Herald and then she'd like high-five you.
She'd be like, good job triggering all those morons.
adam crigler
Here's your troll raise.
tim pool
Your troll bonus.
I have to do a shout-out to this Cassandra tweet because it's one of my favorite memes ever.
I retweeted it.
Democrats defending Joe Biden be like, don't touch my garbage.
And it's a possum snarling in a dumpster.
adam crigler
I believe he's reeing.
tim pool
Reeing.
I just love it because it's so cute.
A little, little garbage mangler.
You know, like don't touch my garbage.
That's right.
Joe Biden is garbage.
I totally forgot.
Oh yeah.
So here's, I was going to bring up, right.
When we're talking about, um, Working for cool bosses.
I can't remember which company this was.
It might be the Federalist.
I mean, you might know this one where the boss made a joke about unionizing.
And like the staff is all not interested in forming a union because they're more conservative.
But the National Labor Board actually went after them.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
So this guy put... So here's what happens, I think.
Can you look this up?
I think it was The Federalist, was it?
lydia smith
I'm looking at Barstool.
tim pool
Was it Barstool?
lydia smith
That was one of them.
tim pool
No, no, Barstool was... I think it was David Portnoy.
He's the guy... So he made a joke about it, and then they made him put up a sign and like pay a fine or something.
But there was another company where... Maybe... Was it Barstool?
lydia smith
Reason?
tim pool
Was it Reason?
lydia smith
Reason Magazine?
tim pool
Yeah, that might be it.
lydia smith
I'm not sure.
This is just what I'm finding off the top of the...
tim pool
Someone wrote an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal about it.
unidentified
Oh, OK.
tim pool
Saying, like, basically what happened was some company announced they were going to unionize.
adam crigler
OK.
tim pool
And then he made a joke saying, like, I'll throw you in the Sarlacc pit or whatever.
adam crigler
From Star Wars?
tim pool
Yeah, something like that.
Like a very clearly lit joke that was meant to be exaggerated.
lydia smith
How my joke on Twitter became a federal case?
tim pool
There you go.
There you go.
lydia smith
That's it.
Members of the Vox Media Union demanded a contract.
Is that it?
Oh, that might not be it.
I'll keep looking.
tim pool
When's it from?
I'm pretty sure that's it.
lydia smith
That is from April 2020.
tim pool
Yes, and so what happened was he was making fun of Vox and said something like mocking the union.
Yeah, look through it.
What company is it?
lydia smith
It's Wall Street Journal, so I can't read the full story.
He's just telling a story.
He's under federal investigation for making a joke on Twitter.
unidentified
Boom.
lydia smith
There you go.
Salt mine.
Oh, back to the salt mine.
the left liberal Vox Media Inc. walked off the job demanding a new collective bargaining
agreement as the publisher of a conservative website.
Yes, the Federalist, you were right.
I found the clash ironic.
FYI, at Federalist, first one of you tries to unionize, I swear I'll send you to the
salt mine.
tim pool
Oh, back to the salt mine.
lydia smith
There you go.
tim pool
Back to the salt mine.
There's no real salt mine.
Now they're being investigated.
And even though every employer was like, he was kidding, we really aren't concerned about
union stifling, the government was like, don't care.
adam crigler
So the government was being the Karen in this situation?
tim pool
Yes.
lydia smith
Always.
adam crigler
Government Karen.
tim pool
So that's the point I'm making, right?
You might work for a cool company.
That's not enough.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You need to be your own boss, and you need to be on a, like, that's ridiculous.
If you have a certain number of employees, you can't even make a joke, because the government will come at you and say, well, you know, you're scaring your employees.
lydia smith
I'd like to speak to the manager.
tim pool
Yep.
lydia smith
Literally, it's in the letter.
tim pool
This letter is for the manager.
Yeah, oh, that means getting played out.
But here's the point, rest assured, no matter what you do, someone's gonna try and, you know, jam you up.
So you can get past the SJWs, but somebody working in government's gonna use that weight to throw against you.
And that's ridiculous.
So, I don't know, I guess we should jump to Super Chats, because we were supposed to stagger, I guess we didn't.
I was right.
Adam was wrong.
we do have a DC segment I really want to do.
adam crigler
Yeah, me too.
tim pool
But we'll do super chats first.
adam crigler
Yeah, let's do super chats.
Well, we have two more segments, but yeah, let's do super chats.
tim pool
I mean, arguably we have more than that.
adam crigler
I know we have a few more.
tim pool
I think we can get to one more.
But the first thing I need to say is, I was right, Adam was wrong, it's dark side.
adam crigler
It's true.
It's true.
It's Darkseid, not Darkseed.
But you should know that, because you were the one reading and watching the show more than me.
tim pool
I know, and I called him Darkseid, and you were like, no, I'm pretty sure it's Darkseid.
And I was like... It's spelled weird, okay?
adam crigler
You should have stood firm.
So I blame you.
tim pool
It's been a long time since I've watched.
unidentified
Yes, you should.
lydia smith
Always blame Tim.
tim pool
So, uh, let's do, we're going to jump to your super chats.
And, uh, there's probably just, I gotta be honest, like way too many, but one thing you can do is smash the like button.
Smash it.
lydia smith
Gently.
tim pool
A little tap.
lydia smith
Gently please.
tim pool
As long as, as long as.
adam crigler
Smash or bust.
tim pool
The screen.
lydia smith
Gotta be able to watch it again tomorrow.
tim pool
Really does help.
And make sure you follow at Timcast if you want to get skateboarding pictures of cats on Instagram.
But I complained a lot on Twitter.
So if you're into that.
lydia smith
Complaining.
tim pool
Complaining about cultural issues and stuff.
adam crigler
And making fun.
tim pool
I know I'm kidding.
adam crigler
You make fun of stuff too.
tim pool
Self-deprecating.
It's like, I'm sassy on Twitter.
adam crigler
And people are always like... That's the most accurate.
tim pool
They're like, I wish Twitter Tim was YouTube Tim because Twitter Tim is always swearing and going like... You know what I mean?
unidentified
It's true.
tim pool
The Twitter equivalent or whatever that is.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
I'm like, well, you know, that's like Twitter is me just like flipping up on my phone and being like, and then like putting my phone down.
YouTube is me being like, well, I've done some research today and here's what I think.
lydia smith
Do we do the news?
tim pool
Yeah, we'll do the news and I'll give you some expression.
But also follow Adam Krigler.
adam crigler
Yeah, follow me.
Why don't you come to my Twitter and tell me how much you can't stand me.
I see you in chat.
And I don't care.
You guys can, you know, this is the thing.
I'm on the show and I'm constantly learning stuff and I admit that I learn stuff.
I can be wrong and I don't care if you yell at me for being wrong.
That's alright.
That's fine.
So come at me.
Come find me on Twitter.
There it is.
Here.
Come tweet at me.
Tweet how wrong I was.
That's fine.
But you can also give me stories that we can actually talk about on this show.
And that actually works.
So a lot of you help me out a lot.
I actually have a pinned tweet.
You can hit me up and give me some awesome stories.
And there's over a hundred, I think even more.
I don't even know how many stories I got going right now.
It's great though.
I appreciate you all.
tim pool
I'm gonna prove this.
unidentified
Prove it.
tim pool
Take a look at this right here.
This is the tweet we showed earlier.
What is this?
At Sour Patch Lids, at Tim Katzen, at Adam Krigler, tagged by Effyacollin on Twitter.
unidentified
Bruh.
tim pool
Best audience ever.
Alerting us to this news.
adam crigler
Yeah.
lydia smith
And I sent that to Tim.
I'm like, hey, look at that.
tim pool
Now here's the thing for me.
I can't check all of my Twitter notifications because I get too many.
Yeah.
And that's why Adam is relegated to the task of being the liaison for the show.
adam crigler
Yep.
I have a lot of fun.
tim pool
So he can interact and go through suggestions and stuff and more easily find that stuff.
I can't.
It's like, if I click my notifications, it's just a whole bunch of, Tim Pool is bald, and like, Pim Tool, and like, Yeremoan, and I'm like, okay, I get it, guys.
unidentified
That's alright.
tim pool
I'm gonna close this now, because I can't learn anything.
adam crigler
Oh, yeah.
tim pool
Alright, let's grab these Super Chats, and we got a bunch, so let's read through this.
And then we're gonna talk about the Snyder Cut, Darkseid, and Henry Cavill may be coming back to Batman.
adam crigler
No, no, no, he is.
tim pool
He's back to Batman.
lydia smith
It's confirmed.
tim pool
I mean, Superman.
unidentified
Superman.
adam crigler
Come on, guys, let's get this confirmed.
tim pool
But, considering how crazy everything's been, we just did this really heavy opening story, like, we had so much fun yesterday talking about Joe Biden farting.
adam crigler
That was great.
tim pool
I hope you guys saw it.
lydia smith
That was the best.
adam crigler
I had a lot of fun.
lydia smith
That clip did really well.
tim pool
He was laughing, and just freeze-framing Joe Biden's face, and then, like, today, I'm sitting here, and I'm like, I think we got, like, the riots are happening right now, man.
adam crigler
Yeah, they're going on right now.
tim pool
Arrests in New York City, 30 arrests.
And so I'm like, we ended up seeing this DC news and I'm like, this is what we need to kind of round this off at the end and have some fun and talk about Batman and Superman.
But that means we're going to talk about a bunch of, we're going to grab your super chats and we're going to read through them.
So I hope you guys are ready for this.
King Canuck says, we didn't start the fire.
It was always burning since the world's been turning.
Hoping you, you lovely gets and lady.
Are eating popcorn as everything goes sideways.
adam crigler
Yep.
Is it gents?
lydia smith
Gents, yeah.
tim pool
Gents, sorry.
Oh, but there's no end.
Yeah, yeah.
Gents.
And ladies, as everything goes sideways, riots, pandemics, and no haircuts.
Yeah, man.
lydia smith
Struggle.
tim pool
I'm sitting in my bed, and I saw the news.
They were lighting everything on fire and destroying everything.
And I just look over, and there's a bow.
And I'm like, I have a bow.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Like, it's not a gun, but...
lydia smith
It's something.
tim pool
Yeah.
And I'm like, where we are, we're kind of in the middle of nowhere.
But I don't think anything's been happening near us.
I haven't heard of any protests in Philly.
Maybe there are, but not nearly as crazy as what we've seen in the rest of the country.
Oh, we have Donald Trump here.
unidentified
Oh, cool.
tim pool
Oh, I'm sorry.
Hold on.
It's Trump with two Ps.
So it's not the same one.
lydia smith
Boo.
tim pool
I.B.
Ripponim is right.
Fart speech is free speech.
Vote Trump and I will make sure you're able to send people as much fart correspondence as you like.
You know, interesting point.
Air is freely able to come out of both ends in both his speeches.
lydia smith
It's true.
tim pool
King Canuck says, lesser note, Adam, read the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.
Low fantasy noir adventure that gradually ramps up high fantasy.
He's a personal friend of Sanderson, who loves the books, if that helps.
adam crigler
Someone else actually said this to me, I think during AdamCast, someone.
I mean, it could have been you, actually.
I don't even know.
But yeah, I'll check that out.
Dresden Files.
lydia smith
Note taken.
tim pool
One dollar liner says, Hey Tim, just bought the new Harumph t-shirt.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
Can't wait to get it.
unidentified
Don't move.
tim pool
Please let us know your P.O.
box.
I have a gift I want to send you.
Uh, well, there's a P.O.
box now, and it's probably not going to change.
It's, if you go to timcast.com slash donate, there's a P.O.
box.
So, you know, send away.
And if you would like one of the Harumph I Say t-shirts, I think it's just under the YouTube video.
adam crigler
Yeah, just scroll down a little bit.
tim pool
You should be able to just scroll down and it's there.
And if not... No, it's there.
Well, it's for you, but maybe not for everybody else.
So if you don't see it, there's a link in the description.
And I'm more eager to be getting the other two t-shirts, which will be one for Adam and Lydia.
I don't know what they'll be.
adam crigler
I don't either.
No, I haven't gotten back to them yet.
unidentified
All right.
tim pool
Well, that'll be fun too.
Also skateboards.
I'm working on skateboards.
adam crigler
And beanies.
tim pool
And beanies.
adam crigler
Beanies are coming.
Skateboards coming too.
tim pool
It's gonna be weird, like, it's kind of dumb to buy yourself your own pro model.
You know?
lydia smith
Yeah, try it.
tim pool
Some pro skateboarder got booted off a team and then started his own company and made himself pro and everyone made fun of him for it.
And he was like, I don't care, I make money and I skate.
So it's like, who cares?
adam crigler
Yeah, that's just people being jealous of someone else's success.
tim pool
But skateboarding is really weird because am and pro are meaningless.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
So like, the real definition of a professional means you get paid to do something.
adam crigler
Exactly.
tim pool
And they call people amateur skaters, and they get paychecks.
It makes no sense.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Like, as soon as they cut you a check and put you on the team, you're pro.
But in skateboard culture, it's like, you go M, then you go pro.
It's like, dude.
You're a pro skateboarder if you give skateboarding lessons.
Like, the bare minimum.
adam crigler
Wow, I guess I was pro for a long time, though.
lydia smith
Yeah, that's why people call you pro.
tim pool
Well, but you mentioned that because you actually rode for a team.
adam crigler
I also rode for a team.
tim pool
Yeah, and you designed boards and stuff.
adam crigler
Okay, yeah, I did that, too.
tim pool
Alright, let's read some more.
I believe you, Ivy.
I don't believe it.
I do not believe that.
I heard you.
I'm doing it.
Donald Trump, I swear you believe me right guys?
adam crigler
I don't believe it.
I believe you, Ivy.
tim pool
Grim Soul Banisher says, just want to clarify, my daughter's lack of surgery is life threatening.
Hopefully we get this headache sorted soon.
Also spin the UFO.
adam crigler
Alright.
tim pool
I heard you.
adam crigler
And that was from an hour ago.
tim pool
Ryan says 230 applies to Reddit, right?
Spez probably regrets making them a publisher now.
Oh yeah.
Chritian says hi Tim and Co.
Just started my own channel.
You've inspired me.
Any tips regarding camera and mic or anything in general?
Metal forever.
When I first started making videos I had a GoPro 4 and I put it on top of my monitor and I just pressed record.
lydia smith
Sounds great.
tim pool
And then I would talk for 10 minutes and I barely any idea what I was doing and I was getting like no views but I don't know I like doing it.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
So the only real advice is that you have to start somewhere with whatever you have and just use it.
Don't worry about someone being like, you gotta buy this specific camera.
Get a camera.
Get one that works.
Get one that films you.
Get one that can record sound.
Your phone is probably enough.
And then, don't worry too much about your gear.
Worry about refining your stuff as you go.
adam crigler
And being comfortable in front of the camera.
And speaking.
That's another thing.
tim pool
The big secret to successful companies...
You don't want to build a castle with a heavy foundation, because then you build it, and then realize you built it in the wrong spot.
You want to slowly start building, and then figure out what the space you're at can accommodate, and what you need to change.
It's one of the biggest mistakes startups make, new businesses.
They'll get a big investment, and they'll be like, okay, we're gonna build a million dollar studio, and then they do, and then they're like, oh, the internet here isn't good enough.
And they go, oh man, we screwed up.
Instead of just getting a little bedroom, looking at the internet and going, the internet sucks, we gotta move.
First thing they would've done.
So that's my advice.
Jared says, hey guys, listened to two police scanners all night.
Police changed to different county frequency.
Hennepin County scanner was down last I checked.
Yeah, and they start, I'm pretty sure they're not allowed to do this, but something happened once where they switched to encrypted and it created a huge controversy.
Stigma of the Rose says, try to superchat the no-no Chinese words by themselves and it wouldn't let me send.
lydia smith
Oh yeah.
tim pool
Yup.
lydia smith
They're censoring YouTube comments.
tim pool
Yup, YouTube is still censoring things that insult the Chinese Communist Party.
Gotta love it.
JDR says, great work, Timcast IRL team.
Good news, sports are back!
At least superbike racing.
Moto America Round 1 starts tomorrow at Road America.
Cool, glad to hear it.
Jesus says, here is my weekly due to the Beanie Union.
I was supposed to super chat yesterday, but I had to donate the cash for a lifetime membership to, what is that, MeUndies for Biden?
adam crigler
What is it?
tim pool
Oh, MeUndies for Biden.
And Swalwell seems like they needed a fresh pair.
adam crigler
I hear they have interdependent liners.
lydia smith
Oh, do they?
Oh, very cool.
tim pool
I don't want to think about the physiology of Joe Biden as to make that sound possible.
lydia smith
Nope.
tim pool
Big Ben Howard says, Dapper, dare I say?
Tim shirts when?
Dare I say?
I mean, whenever, somebody made the Harumph I Say shirt.
adam crigler
It's fantastic.
tim pool
Someone commented, I want it.
Someone else made it.
And then Adam was like, check it out.
lydia smith
That's how our channel works.
tim pool
Let's do it.
lydia smith
Magic.
tim pool
Yeah, you've got to tweet stuff at Adam.
adam crigler
So yeah, if you've got good ideas, right there.
That's how, boom, send it to me.
Or, or.
lydia smith
Oh wait, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wait, oh, I'm over here.
adam crigler
Boom.
lydia smith
Yeah, yeah.
I read all my messages.
tim pool
It's Sour Patch Lids with a Y, L-Y-D-S.
adam crigler
Yeah.
And if you are listening, it's at A-D-A-M-C-R-I-G-L-E-R.
That's my name.

Let's see.
Long Dong John says, one day there will be 10-story tall statues of Tim and Lydia and in between them a 20-story tall statue of Adam.
Oh, very bold.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
tim pool
Spicy.
adam crigler
And I will be like, you know, blessing you both.
tim pool
Sir Average Joe says, Fartgate 2?
Oh, I don't want to read it.
Nope, nope, nope.
Electric Poogaloo.
Also, when you have so much overreach by government, how should they expect you to react?
This isn't our first rodeo.
I think what's really crazy about this is there was actually, like, a photo of a guy holding the Boogaloo flag in Minnesota.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Like, that's not a lefty kind of thing.
I mean, I don't know what to call it, but it's people saying, like, Boogaloo, you know what I mean?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
It's not what you'd expect from Antifa.
Or maybe you would, I guess.
Minmax says, Tim, the other day, Trudeau had a journalist from Rebel News dragged out of a press event for no reason.
Please cover this.
It's right up your alley.
unidentified
It is.
tim pool
It is.
It is Canada.
And so, I mean this with all due respect, I don't know enough about Canada.
So, Canada has come up in certain stories.
I have done videos about Trudeau, but my, like, I probably sound... I sound stupid enough as it is, let alone talking about a different country.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Connor Anderson says, I live at the Stone Arch Bridge in downtown Minneapolis.
It's safe in my area, but rioters are a few miles away.
My opinion is that everyone needs a gun to shoot the rioters the second they break in.
It depends, but I believe people have a right to defend themselves, so first and foremost, I think we have to say we really don't want it to come to that, 100%.
But I understand why people would be scared and want to defend themselves, especially if people are starting fires and burning these buildings down, because if somebody breaks into your building, You don't know what they're going to be doing.
And if they burn the building down, a lot of people can die.
So, I hate to see it.
I would only ask for de-escalation.
That's the best way I can put it.
But I wouldn't fault someone for defending themselves.
Wolfsbane says, Hey Tim, Lydia, and Soy, Jesus.
Tim, I wanted you to know that the first two videos today weren't showing up today, had to go to your channels to find them.
I mean, that's an improvement from last week, when they just didn't put it on my channel at all, and no one could find it, even if they tried.
lydia smith
We had so many people tell us that.
tim pool
Joseph Sori says, saw a video of a handicapped woman in her electric wheelchair at the Target getting attacked by looters, punching, throwing objects, sprayed with fire extinguisher.
Looters have no shame.
She was holding a knife and they were claiming she was stabbing people.
All you can really say is these are people in a fight.
The woman in the wheelchair was trying to block the door, I guess.
I don't want to assume, but she was holding a knife.
They grabbed her wrist and then pulled it out of her hand and then started throwing things at her.
They sprayed her.
David, Tim moved to Syracuse Sedano.
Great name, by the way.
adam crigler
That's commitment.
tim pool
Are you just going to sell decks or full nine with grip tape, trucks, wheels, and bearings?
Just deck, let me build from there.
I got my likes.
So it's probably going to be through the store as it appears already under the YouTube channel.
adam crigler
I'm sure it's just going to be a deck.
tim pool
It'll just be a deck.
You'll have to get your own grip and everything.
But it depends.
If they can properly source good boards, otherwise, I'm not going to put my name, literally, on that board.
adam crigler
Yeah, we're going to test them.
tim pool
If I skate it, if I like it, I'll sell it.
And if they can't, then we'll end up selling them, like, physically through our own, you know, storefront of some sort, where we get our own pro models and good shapes and everything.
I think they'll be able to source proper boards.
I really do.
adam crigler
We'll see.
tim pool
Yeah, I think it'll be good.
I also want to make sure they're American made, for sure.
Luke Walter says, would you consider an IPO if your new venture takes off?
I don't know enough to say anything about that, yes.
I'd imagine if in 20 years I have a company that's like a big successful media company then definitely, but look, even Vice hasn't done an IPO, so.
Oscar Corneo says, thanks for keeping me sane during the lockdown.
Loved that song Remember When from the first jam session.
Any chance you can upload that to iTunes?
Also, what's the style of music called?
What Tim was singing.
That's the song.
adam crigler
How would you describe your music?
I don't know.
Pop rock?
unidentified
Indie?
tim pool
Indie pop it's all different. Yeah, some songs are folk acoustic. Some songs are acoustic rock summer punk
unidentified
Mm-hmm. I have no idea. Yeah, you got a good sound. I don't know man. Um
tim pool
Well, feel free to download the video the song somehow and keep it
We're working on recording now, actually We have some paperwork from one of the songs I ran.
It's, like, sitting right next to me.
And actually, I just spent the last hour going over a bunch of songs we're playing on recording, which, uh, at some point will come out.
I got some really good songs, man.
It's not- it's not the songs.
It's- it's the- the full product, so... The first- I- I've got some songs that accompany a visual that tells a story, and this will be really, really- I'm really excited for these things to come out.
Outlaw Bear says, I super chatted Voldemort's name to channels I don't know this week.
Sometimes with no context, nothing happened.
I believe this is a case of bad police training, not racism.
Many always in the news.
Yeah.
You can't have cops who are trained poorly.
You can't enforce an institution to not care about someone's life and have this happen.
The Batman says, I live near Minneapolis.
More people coming in will only make this worse.
Rioting doesn't solve any issues, it only hurts people.
Dan Bordeaux says, Twitter idiots are saying Minnesota is like the Boston Tea Party.
The Sons of Liberty targeted just the tea from the government-backed EITC.
The only damage, a padlock owned by a ship's captain, was replaced the next morning.
There is so much about this where I'm like...
They're trying to conflate these things.
It's like, you know, I'm sorry man, Dan, you nailed it on exactly what this is.
A targeted organization that, yes, wore masks, and damaged, uh, just the T, to make a point about the T.
And there's still questions you can raise about, you know, the justification of doing that.
I'm totally cool with that, but come on, man.
You can't compare someone burning down low-income housing to the Boston Tea Party.
That's just ridiculous.
lydia smith
Yeah, Dan messaged me.
He was talking about the Boston Tea Party.
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
I didn't have a chance to do anything with it.
tim pool
Yep.
Abigail, thanks for the super chat.
Darian Collin says, the people that started fires and destruction are being paid by George Soros.
They are Antifa.
This party is older than World War II.
Same flag.
I don't know about the George Soros payment thing, but many of them are Antifa for sure.
Oh, actually, I can actually comment on the George Soros thing, so I can tell you one instance.
There were people who were down at Occupy Wall Street who were telling everyone, jokingly, how they were paid by Soros, but the reality was they worked for a non-profit that received Soros funding.
unidentified
Huh.
tim pool
So you could technically say they were paid by Soros, but then here's what I'll tell you.
Stop saying people are paid by George Soros.
Just stop saying it.
It's not literally true.
And so what happens is the left all of a sudden goes, where's my Soros check?
I wish.
Meanwhile, they get a paycheck from a nonprofit that's funded by George Soros.
They're not smart enough to connect the dots.
So the appropriate thing to say is Soros is funding nonprofits that has activists at these rallies and events.
Sometimes.
And I've had high-profile activists tell me straight up they receive funding directly from him.
And for their organizations, like the people who run them.
lydia smith
It might be good to look up a list of organizations he funds.
tim pool
It's a ridiculous number.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
It's a ridiculous number.
Alex Oakley says, I usually work third shift and I don't get to watch you guys live a lot, but this is the second time this week I get to watch live.
Do you think the riots might actually lead to more lockdowns?
Try to say can't trust the general public lockdown.
The funny thing is Governor Whitmer is like locking things down more.
lydia smith
Yep.
tim pool
It's like these... You know what, man?
How many articles did we get where they were like, these conservatives aren't respecting social distancing?
And now there's riots going on and like, peep.
lydia smith
It's like not a thing anymore.
Crickets.
tim pool
Yep.
No one's complaining about social distancing.
Max Reed says, skipping Crowder livestream to watch my favorite trio.
If you like Stephen King's The Stand, you might like Swan Song by Robert McKemmon even more.
I don't like competing with Crowder.
I like Crowder.
lydia smith
But thank you for being here.
tim pool
Yeah, for sure, for sure.
Caboose, a.k.a.
Kyle, don't make me get you on a roof like a L.A.
Korean.
unidentified
Amen.
tim pool
Oh, yeah.
That's a very difficult story.
Like, how do you explain this in today's context?
You know about the roof Koreans?
People in Koreatown were having their businesses destroyed.
They went up on the roofs with guns.
It was like kill or be killed.
They were getting shot at, so they were shooting back.
I couldn't even imagine that happening today.
Yeah, man.
John McAfee had a tweet.
He deleted it because he got the governor wrong, but he said this is what happens when you get everyone, you know, what do you say, when you build up tensions by locking everyone down and then set it off with one event.
And here we are.
lydia smith
He's right.
tim pool
SkepticalStrom, thanks for the superchat.
Eminsoul says, I used to work in law enforcement.
People often act sick or injured to get the cops to lower their guard so they can come up swinging.
This is wrong.
Yeah, they do.
I agree.
So I would argue that if you have five cops and one guy on the ground and they're saying they can't breathe, then you need to get your cops over there to help you.
It's tough, man.
You're surrounded by people.
They're all yelling at you.
But, I don't know, man.
You can't... It's better that... Listen.
It's better the man escape than die.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Sorry.
I understand there's probably a nuance in that.
Like, if you caught this guy covered in blood and, like, there's dead people all around.
Maybe not.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You know what I mean?
In this instance, the guy was forging and, like, let the guy escape other than letting him die, man.
adam crigler
Well, we don't even know what he was doing.
tim pool
Right.
The story now is that it was over a $20 bill that was counterfeit.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
And the assumption that he knew was counterfeit.
adam crigler
That we don't know.
tim pool
I know.
lydia smith
We also don't know that.

Jared Milner says, Duncan Lemp camera footage is still not released.
And that too!
The dude was like in his bed.
His girlfriend got shot too.
The Duncan Lemp story?

I think we agreed on $500,000.
adam crigler

500 grand.

The rising refugee says the man shouldn't have died and those cops should be arrested.
But is the media going to complain about them not social distancing?
Good point.
adam crigler
Yeah, we just talked about that, right?
tim pool
Dancing Israelis?
Yeah, I don't know anything about it.

Infecting Democrats' health?
you might find it significant.

I don't know anything about it.

Grant Thompson says, any word about what's going on with Brian Sims in Pennsylvania accusing
House Republicans of infecting, jeopardizing House Democrats?
What?
Infecting Democrats' health?
He live-streamed and threw out a lot of accusations.
That dude's nuts.
adam crigler
I don't know anything about that.
lydia smith
Wasn't he the one who yelled at kids?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
tim pool
He, like, went up to some little kids and started yelling at them and then had to apologize for it.
lydia smith
He cusses a lot.
tim pool
Because they were pro-life.
Why are you yelling at kids?
They were, like, holding a pro-life sign.
adam crigler
Uh-huh.
tim pool
So he, like, started filming and yelling.
And it was, like, 14-year-old girls.
It's weird.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's gonna help.
That's gonna help, buddy.

He's a Pennsylvania state legislator of some sort.

Nice.

So wait, wait, a news report just came in, something about, oh, someone burned a whole city in Norfolk.
All right, let's see where we're at.
Mike Manberg says, Sarah Silverman's tweet was actually a good Second Amendment argument.
Yeah, so Sarah Silverman basically said, look at all these white protesters with guns and nothing happens.
And then these Black Lives Matter protesters come out and they get attacked.
And everyone's like, that's a great point.
Maybe they should have been armed and organized.
That's, yeah.
Oh man, I got allergies, it's getting really bad.
Odium says many in Antifa are professional rioters.
They will travel to other cities just to throw rocks and set fire to stuff they don't care about the cause.
adam crigler
You think that's what it was?
tim pool
Some of them, yes, but there are what we call the tourists.
During Occupy Wall Street, me and several other journalists, or I should say several other journalists coined this term that I later started using, called the tourists.
High-profile activists who fly around the world, engaging in and organizing protests.
Some of them would go to China, Europe, and they would lead protests.
Yeah, they call them the tourists.
They show up to other countries.
It's like, do you even know why you're protesting in China?
adam crigler
No, but I see the next super chat though.
tim pool
Spin the UFO says... I can't read that.
Red Pill Renegade says, but the Michigan protests were a risk to health.
Oh, yeah.
lydia smith
And these ones aren't.

Kuya Chris says, hit F for friends.
King Canuck says, not low-income housing.
It was higher-end stuff.

It was reported by the Michigan Star Tribune that affordable housing that was being built was torched.

got bad allergies getting to me Jessica Cora, they had all these local business owners who
had their restaurants and stores burned down and they're all black
Why burn down your own neighborhood?
The people aren't from that neighborhood the tourists Well, no, it's like in this instance.
adam crigler
Well, it could be.
tim pool
The tourists was a group of like 40 people who you'd be like, why did I see you in a photograph in Japan?
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
I see.
tim pool
Yeah.
And they were high profile, well-funded and it was weird.
I say, I'll say well-funded with, with, you know, air quotes, but these people are like, they live, you know, 30 miles South of Minneapolis and they're like, quick, quick, quick.
We got to go up.
We got to go up.

Lydia needs to assimilate and wear a beanie too.

Weeb Luke says, Yo Tim, I think Dave Chappelle is right.
We should all register legally for 2A.
That way the laws will change.
Yeah, Dave Chappelle had a really good take on it.
Second Amendment is there to protect the first.
I think most people are familiar with the argument.
It's just there in case the first one doesn't work out.
Joseph Taylor says, I had to get fingerprinted for a background check to study internationally.
Everyone in the room automatically assumed guilt and I was a criminal.

Anti-NWO Canada says, Hi, the word is Co-Intel Pro.

Agitator?
Yes.

That's terrible.

Dee Stoltenberg says, Bring the war to the rich graffiti found a few miles from the protest in an upper middle class neighborhood.
Other graffiti spotted included anti-capitalist sentiment.
I hate these people.
They exploit the poverty.
They exploit the anger because they want socialism and communism.
It has nothing to do with them.
Caring about justice.
It's about them saying, ooh, now's our chance to make it all crumble and make it all worse for everybody.
These people are opportunists, man.
I hate them.
Anthony Zavaro says, the only stores that weren't pillaged were armed.
Sounds about right.
Biker Bob says, provocateurs is the word.
Yes, agent provocateur.

Agent provocateur.
adam crigler
Rock on, chat.
lydia smith
Nailed it.
tim pool
Thank you, guys.
Andrew Holker says the AutoZone fire was the first one and it was started by a white guy in all black and a gas mask.
Protesters filmed him and told him not to do it.
The dude silently lit the place up and dipped.
Probably just an arsonist!
adam crigler
I did see that video, yeah.
But he said, the only thing I saw him say is, come at me again and I'll fight you.
And then he like, just dipped out.
tim pool
Did you see the guy with the chainsaw?
adam crigler
I didn't see the chainsaw video, no, you told me about it though.

Weird.

Dan Zoom says, if you're going to burn down Wendy's, it better at least be one of the locations that is out of beef.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
It's like, but why burn down Wendy's?
lydia smith
I don't understand.
tim pool
McDonald's got burned down too, apparently, or set up on fire.
adam crigler
I don't get it.

Tony L says, don't know whether to watch you or Crowder.
Why not both?
adam crigler
Well, I'm glad to say, at the same time.
tim pool
Yeah.
lydia smith
Yeah.
Oh gosh.
tim pool
Crowder in the left ear, Tim Castellar on the right ear.
adam crigler
That's some big brain stuff.
Train yourself.
tim pool
You could focus in, like, oh, oh, oh, oh.
lydia smith
Oh gosh, that's so hard.
tim pool
Well, to be honest, we do the show Monday through Friday.
I think Crowder does like one night a week live.
That's why I'm like, oh, you know, I like Crowder.
I don't like hearing that people would ditch his show.
But I mean, I want my show to work, so.
GMU says, Tim, these were park police, so even worse.
If you ever run into park police, they are poorly trained and on a major power trip.
I don't see them as real.
adam crigler
Interesting.
tim pool
I don't know, to be honest.
I would recommend, depending on what you want to do for the channel, a phone really does work really, really well.
Dude, the Galaxy S10 and the new Note.
Is that what you filmed me with outside?
I don't know, to be honest.
I would recommend, depending on what you want to do for the channel, a phone really does work really, really well.

Really good.

It's got a wide-angle lens on it.
I'm telling you, man, the phone cameras are getting ridiculous.
adam crigler
Yeah, they are.
tim pool
So I started with a very, very, you know, like I said, GoPro 4, really bad, and I slowly just started picking stuff up.
But I'll tell you this, I do have one recommendation.
The Sony RX106 or whatever is out so far.
adam crigler
This thing?
tim pool
Yeah, here, let me see.
I don't know which one this is.
This is the, oh, the 7.
adam crigler
Oh, this is good.
tim pool
This right here is the, uh, Sony RX... What is it?
Uh, 107 4K Cyber Shot.
This is what I... This is the first... So, I actually was using, I think, the 4, or whatever.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
tim pool
After the GoPro, I upgraded to this, because the audio is incredible, and the video is incredible, and it can do a thousand frames per second, and it costs, like... You can get a used one, I think, for, like, 900 bucks.
adam crigler
And actually, this is the camera he's letting me use for my gaming stream that I'm working on starting.
I have a poll right now on what game to start, and I think Dark Souls is winning between Dark Souls and Final Fantasy VII and Doom Eternal.
Close race.
I'm excited.

My super chat's about yesterday's stream.
Apparently NASA has plans for Venus colonies.
Mars' low gravity is bad for bones.
Venus' surface is too hot, but floating cities and clouds are perfect gravity.
adam crigler
I'm going to look into that.
I haven't heard of that.
I'm very on top of science stuff.

Tim Clark says, how does your police system work?
It seems that each town has different police that are trained and equipped different.
Is this a problem?
Is this a problem in the system?
I would say, yes, it is.
adam crigler
Yeah, but that's right.
tim pool
That's how it works.
adam crigler
America's huge.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
America's not a tiny little spot.

Yeah.
You know, America, I think has more square footage than all of Europe.

Yeah, that sounds right.
tim pool
Square mileage.
Square kilometerage?
lydia smith
Kilometerage.
tim pool
Meterage?
lydia smith
Meterage, yeah.

David Campbell says, Minnesota prosecutor works close to the police, right?
So it would only seem to make sense there is bias.
This needs to be unbiased as possible for trial.
That's why they have outside prosecutors come in.
Maybe they'll do that here.
That's why the FBI is investigating.
Troy says, take a look at Officer 401.
Has a good take on it.
Tiller4534 says every cop who walks the street should be at least a BJJ blue belt.
Resilient Jiu Jitsu.
It solves every problem like this safely and effectively.
But they don't want to spend money on this training and a lot of cops are just out of shape dudes sitting in the office all day.
Say When says, Police killed him.
Not stores, not businesses, not regular people.
Yup.
adam crigler
Yup.

Simon Anthony, thanks for the super chat.
Caitlin says, Cop on neck had different badge than the others.
Interesting.
Stephen A says, I'm about as pro-police a man that you can find.
I always give them the benefit of the doubt.
But if these cops get away scot-free from this killing, enraged won't be enough to describe my feelings.
Yeah, I think the funny thing is, like, you've got the right saying unjust killing and constitutional rights violation, civil rights violation, freedom, liberty, and the left saying Black Lives Matter, and I'm like, how about we all hold hands on this one and, you know, rock back and forth singing, because let's get this one, let's get this one, like, solved and done.

Yep.

Gary Goddard says, Society not breaking laws equals police not killing.
Gold 818 says, Hey Tim, what do you think about President Trump's executive order on
preventing online censorship?
If you go to TimCast.net, that is my main channel.
There is a video I did on it today, and I break it down.
I think it has the best... A lot of things can happen, but it may actually solve the problem by basically saying to these social media companies, you're going to lose liability protections unless you stop banning Um, uh, this kind of speech, it's actually really clever.
The argument is that their protections require them to deem content objectionable,
lewd, lascivious, extremely violent.
And what Trump said is the FCC needs to clarify what these words mean.
That way, if you tweet hashtag learn to code, and then Twitter says that's
objectionable or harassment, the FCC will say, no, it isn't.
You've just violated, you know, you're violating your protections under 230.
If you do it again, you will be open to lawsuits.
So Twitter will be like, okay, okay, okay, we won't do it.
We won't do it.
So, Twitter can still ban things that are really, really offensive and really awful, but they have to be under those specific words.
Lewd, lascivious, objectionable.
They can argue what objectionable means, but Learn to Code doesn't fall into that, unfortunately.
So it would protect a lot of these conservatives who are getting banned.

Wow.
lydia smith
Don't like that.
adam crigler
What if the only way out was the front door?
Someone's kicking it in, with the intent of looting.
tim pool
Well, you know what?
I gotta say, if he had a back door, and he chose to stay in the building instead.
adam crigler
And defend himself?
tim pool
I think it's fair to say, if you have the option to run, you should run.
adam crigler
So, this video popping up of the guys standing with like, I don't know, it looks like they got uh...
a ours construct to the front of them they're like our just an air case
something happens to this liquor store it's like so if people were coming
what would they do they'd be charged with murder to if they were just
tim pool
defending the place i thought those guys were pro protesters
adam crigler
they they said there they were for the protesting but not for the looting
unidentified
Right, right, right.
adam crigler
They're against the looting.
And that's what they were out there for.
So, I mean... I don't know.
tim pool
I do think if these protesters came out with some, like, constitutionalist, two activists or whatever, also armed, and they all marched and went to, like, town hall and stood on the stairs, they'd have won in two seconds.
But here's the thing.
The activists that showed up don't want justice.
Look, I understand many of them do, but the riots that ensued... Okay, so let me rephrase that.
The activists who showed up clearly want justice, but many people showed up alongside them who wanted destruction, chaos, and looting.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
That's the problem.
If they all marched to the state capitol building, they would have won.
unidentified
But they're burning down AutoZone?
adam crigler
I don't agree.
This guy should get a murder charge.
tim pool
What guy?
adam crigler
I mean, he did kill somebody.
If anything, it's manslaughter.
Like, he did kill somebody that was coming at him.
tim pool
It was a riot.
It wasn't a normal circumstance.
adam crigler
You're right.
Yeah, that's true.
tim pool
Because what if he's thinking, if I go out the back door, someone will jump me?
adam crigler
And all of my store is going to be gone.
tim pool
Forget the store.
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
The argument for the store thing makes sense.
If you're in your store and there's a back door and someone's breaking the door in, run.
In a riot, though, you're like, what if I open the back door and his buddies are waiting for me?
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
So you're like, I better stay in here because the riot's dangerous.
adam crigler
Defend my position.
tim pool
Not only that, if you leave your building and go into a riot, you can get killed.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
So he had no choice.
Someone's breaking in.
That's a BS charge, man.
That's BS.

I mean, we were there, we were in Baltimore and like what, I mean, what we've seen, it's like.
tim pool
They torched tons of buildings.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
I think it was 30 fires were started and 16 were structural.
adam crigler
I mean, there was a lot of fires going on in Baltimore, but not, not like what I'm seeing here.
unidentified
It's crazy.
lydia smith
So fast too.
tim pool
Well, we've gone through the super chats.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
We've talked about horrifying, uh, terrifying realities, but now we have some good news.
adam crigler
Yep.
lydia smith
I'm excited about this.
tim pool
Henry Cavill in talks to return as Superman in upcoming DC movie. Yes. Yes
adam crigler
Awesome job as Superman. I gotta say I really liked him as Superman. He's my favorite Superman really
tim pool
That much. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, he does a great job
unidentified
He does he makes an awesome Superman and I actually liked Ben Affleck as Batman. I
tim pool
I'm excited.
adam crigler
I did.
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
I absolutely did.
adam crigler
I gotta give it to him.
It wasn't bad.
tim pool
It wasn't bad.
adam crigler
And I went into it thinking it was going to be bad.
And then I was like, Oh, all right.
It wasn't bad.
tim pool
Um, I'm not, I don't think he's the best Batman.
adam crigler
No.
Who's the best Batman?
tim pool
Oh, that's tough.
adam crigler
But, uh, I think Christian Bale killed it, dude.
tim pool
I want to lean on that one for sure.
The difficult thing is, I think Val Kilmer.
He was okay.
adam crigler
Michael Keaton was good.
tim pool
But the reason I want to say Christian Bale is just because I really liked that trilogy.
And The Dark Knight is one of the best.
adam crigler
Yeah, it was a different time too.
It was in the era of really good cinematic movies.
I'll tell you this.
tim pool
Not George Clooney.
adam crigler
Oh, I forgot he was Batman.
lydia smith
Man, yeah, forgettable.
adam crigler
Yeah, that was not on my list.
Nope, didn't even make it.
tim pool
Yeah, not George Clooney.
You know, those movies were fun.
adam crigler
I think it's Christian Bale, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, and then I guess... I don't know, I'd put Ben Affleck up there.
Actually, you know what?
Yeah, Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton.
I'm gonna put Michael Keaton right on second.
tim pool
Yeah, he didn't move his neck though, you know what I mean?
He's like...
adam crigler
Well, that was the suit.
tim pool
I know.
adam crigler
You know, he had no choice.
Right.
Right, right.
tim pool
Yeah, I like Ben Affleck.
And I wonder if he'll come back.
That'd be cool.
I'd really love to see Shazam, Superman.
adam crigler
Yes.
tim pool
Shazam was great.
adam crigler
Shazam was awesome.
They're working on Shazam 2.
tim pool
Yep.
adam crigler
I love that movie.
That was a great movie.
tim pool
It was DC's, like, turnaround.
adam crigler
Yeah, actually, that might be my favorite DC movie.
tim pool
You know what?
They've been trying to be so dark.
adam crigler
Well, Joker actually is DC, right?
tim pool
But it's not the DCEU.
adam crigler
OK, OK.
tim pool
So Shazam.
Dude, the Joker.
adam crigler
Oh, the Joker is incredible.
tim pool
Or just Joker.
adam crigler
Is that what it is?
Just simply Joker?
Yes, Joker.
Amazing movie.
Incredible movie.
tim pool
The ending scene, the last joke is just so amazing.
And there's a meme.
adam crigler
So good.
tim pool
So I'm going to spoil this now because I'm assuming everyone's already seen it.
adam crigler
Fair warning.
lydia smith
Haven't seen it.
adam crigler
But he's ruining it.
tim pool
There's a little meme comic where Joker is sitting in a chair and they're like, they're drawn as like, he's like portly and like, you know, cute looking.
And he's angry and he says, what do you get when you cross, you know, a mentally, a mentally ill man with a society that, you know, ignores him or whatever.
And then the TV show host smiles and says, in Canada, you get healthcare and we take care of you.
And then they're both smiling and it says the end.
adam crigler
Hold on, hold on, before we move on, I gotta give it up to Chat again.
Chat, you are on fire.
lydia smith
Oh gosh.
adam crigler
Adam West.
tim pool
Adam West!
adam crigler
Adam West, come on.
Oh my goodness, he's incredible.
He's number one.
tim pool
The OG.
adam crigler
Thank you, Chat.
Hold on, I got this.
I deserve that.
tim pool
He's number one for a few reasons.
And they're right, because I didn't even think about this.
adam crigler
I didn't even think about it, how dare he.
tim pool
Adam West, first and foremost, the kooky, funny nature of the original Batman series, amazing.
The silliness of it was actually well done.
adam crigler
Yeah, it carried perfectly.
tim pool
And Adam West is like, he was a legend, man.
My favorite Family Guy character.
adam crigler
Mine too!
lydia smith
Oh my gosh!
tim pool
Ooh, piece of candy!
No, that was James Woods.
adam crigler
Oh, that's James Woods, alright.
lydia smith
Adam West.
adam crigler
Adam West is, wait, which one is he?
tim pool
The Mayor.
adam crigler
The Mayor.
Mayor West.
tim pool
He's just completely insane.
lydia smith
He's so off the wall.
I love him.
adam crigler
Yes.
tim pool
Adam West.
So many memorable moments.
adam crigler
Okay, now we can move on.
tim pool
Henry Cavill is back.
lydia smith
Henry Cavill.
tim pool
In talks to return as Superman in an upcoming DC movie.
That would be awesome.
I liked Man of Steel.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
It was really good.
adam crigler
Really good.
tim pool
I really liked Chris Maloney in it.
adam crigler
Is that the bad guy?
tim pool
No, no, no.
adam crigler
Which one is he?
tim pool
He was the military officer.
He was the guy who was in Law and Order SVU.
adam crigler
I can't think of who that is.
tim pool
One of my favorite scenes in that movie.
Law and Order SVU, man.
Stabler.
adam crigler
I don't watch SV.
tim pool
Oh, come on.
In Man of Steel he plays like the main military dude.
adam crigler
Okay.
I bet I'll see his face and be like, ah, of course.
tim pool
There's a scene.
adam crigler
What's his name again?
lydia smith
Christopher Maloney.
tim pool
Yeah, Christopher Maloney.
There's a scene in Man of Steel that is awesome.
So what's the name of that evil woman?
The evil Kryptonian woman?
I forgot her name.
unidentified
It's been so long. Oh, this guy's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he's great
tim pool
There's a scene where like his helicopter goes down and then the Kryptonian woman in armor is standing there
And he's like sweating and holding the knife like yeah, there's nothing else he can do everyone around him
Just died got got and he's like and he flinches That was awesome scene
It's like, you're just a dude that's a Kryptonian.
You're gonna die, but he's like, ready to go.
adam crigler
I love that scene.
That was a cool scene.
You're right.
tim pool
What I really like about, like, the Marvel Universe is when regular people are put in these tough situations.
So I like Batman.
Yeah, I like Iron Man.
So I like Falcon.
And so when he's just like a regular military guy with a knife up against this super powered alien, and he's like, I'm going for it.
adam crigler
I don't care.
I'm going to do it.
tim pool
She's going to snap her fingers and you're going to be dust.
But he's not going to run.
He's not going to whimper.
He's going to stand his ground.
That was an awesome scene.
lydia smith
Was that Ursa?
tim pool
Was that her name?
lydia smith
Yeah, I'm not sure.
tim pool
I want to watch that movie now.
Yeah, let's watch it, dude.
adam crigler
That was a good movie.
tim pool
I wish they would have done the DC Universe proper.
Do a Batman movie.
adam crigler
No, no, you know what?
It feels like they're realizing their mistakes.
They're looking back and going, we should have done it this way.
Actually, you know what?
Everyone wants the Snyder Cut.
Let's give it to them.
And not only that, they're going to legitly do it correctly.
tim pool
Oh, let's just, let's go to right.
adam crigler
Why don't you go ahead, drop it.
tim pool
So this was the tweet, Darkseid's coming to the Snyder Cut.
adam crigler
Turns out he was always there.
And they cut him out of the movie.
tim pool
So there's a clip right here.
adam crigler
Doesn't even make sense.
tim pool
Zack Snyder said he's coming to HBO Max.
Now some people are mad, look at this, he says, Darkseid doesn't use weapons, you clearly have no clue about the character.
Okay, okay, alright, calm down.
We don't want to get comic book guy from the Simpsons all on Zaxxon.
adam crigler
Well, that doesn't look like an axe.
It looks more like a staff of some sort.
I don't know.
tim pool
All I know is... It might not be a weapon?
It looks like they were originally going to have Darkseid in the movie.
That's what member I was complaining like why did they do Steppenwolf?
adam crigler
I know you're right.
I don't care about that guy This is what it needed.
It probably just took him to too much.
tim pool
It's like sidetrack from the war story Warner Brothers interference I'll tell you what man.
Here's what here's what that happened.
I bet Snyder was like we're gonna do our Justice League We're gonna get Darkseid.
It's gonna be a big epic and then they probably did it and then some guy was like well Why waste the villain now?
Use the other guy, and then we'll do another one.
We'll make more money.
adam crigler
That sounds like it, yeah.
unidentified
And he was probably like, no.
tim pool
And that's why Snyder cut.
And so now, that still looks like they had him there the whole time.
adam crigler
Yeah, I agree.
lydia smith
I'm excited for this.
tim pool
Well, let's see what's going on with this Henry Cavill thing.
adam crigler
Yeah, okay.
tim pool
They say he isn't hanging up a Superman cape just yet.
Sources confirmed a variety of Man of Steel actors and talks to return as Clark Kent in an upcoming DC Comics movie.
So it's not gonna be Superman.
adam crigler
But it's also gonna be a new movie, though, with him as Superman.
tim pool
Dude, Superman vs. Shazam would be awesome.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
Maybe not a versus, but the cool thing about Superman fighting Shazam is that Superman is weak to magic.
adam crigler
What about Black Adam?
That's the same universe, isn't it?
tim pool
Black Adam is one of the villains for Shazam.
It's like one of the main dudes.
adam crigler
Right, okay.
But he's getting his own movie though, isn't he?
I think he's getting his own movie.
unidentified
Black Adam?
adam crigler
Yeah, there's gonna be Shazam 2 and then Black Adam as a movie.
unidentified
What?
adam crigler
Isn't it?
tim pool
Are you sure?
adam crigler
I thought so.
Maybe I'm wrong.
tim pool
He's the villain for Shazam.
adam crigler
Who plays Shazam?
tim pool
Zachary Levi?
He's getting his own movie.
Black Adam.
unidentified
Oh, he is good. He is playing. He's confirmed. Yeah, he's a perfect dude. He's perfect. I'm excited for this
tim pool
Let's see who plays Shazam Zach. Right Zach is that really it is it's he's getting his own movie black Adam
adam crigler
Really? I'm looking at the IMD right here. I'm DB Oh, cuz his origin story was that he was given powers, you
tim pool
know long long time ago And then he went to his head and he became evil
adam crigler
He has the Shazam power.
unidentified
Right.
adam crigler
Yeah, okay.
tim pool
Different Shazam.
Each letter stands for some god or whatever.
adam crigler
Oh, cool.
tim pool
His were based on, like, Egyptian gods, I think, or something like that.
adam crigler
Oh, dope.
tim pool
So, what's this movie?
They say, uh, so Snyder announced the long-awaited Snyder Cut of Justice League.
That's awesome!
Insiders tell Variety Cavill wouldn't be suiting up for the director's cut, but rather a cameo in one of DC's upcoming films, which includes Aquaman 2, The Suicide Squad, and The Batman.
And, oh, so it's just a cameo?
adam crigler
Aquaman 2.
tim pool
I'm excited for.
The Suicide Squad.
adam crigler
There's a certain someone that I'm not interested in seeing.
unidentified
The lady who poops on beds.
tim pool
I wasn't gonna go there.
adam crigler
I went there, bro.
I dove right in.
tim pool
You know what happens when you say it?
It becomes a segment about Amber Heard pooped on a bed.
adam crigler
No, no.
And moving on.
The Batman.
Is that that new movie that's coming out that's supposed to come out?
They've been teasing the new Batsuit.
tim pool
I forget who's... Yeah, but it's Robert Patterson.
adam crigler
Yeah, Robert Patterson, right.
lydia smith
Pattinson.
adam crigler
Pattinson?
lydia smith
Yes, Pattinson.
The guy who was in Twilight.
adam crigler
Yeah, that guy.
lydia smith
Yeah, that guy.
adam crigler
Was he in anything else?
tim pool
Harry Potter?
adam crigler
I've never seen Twilight or Harry Potter.
tim pool
Robert Henson's been a ton in Harry Potter.
adam crigler
What else?
tim pool
He's in Harry Potter?
adam crigler
Are you serious?
tim pool
He's Cedric Diggory, man.
Is that his name?
Diggory?
He gets killed by Voldemort.
Come on!
You're millennials.
lydia smith
I read the book this morning.
adam crigler
I don't know.
unidentified
I don't know who you're talking about.
tim pool
Let's see, how do I look up this guy's name?
lydia smith
Wait.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's it.
lydia smith
There we go.
adam crigler
Pattinson.
tim pool
Pattinson.
So, here's this guy.
What's he doing?
Oh, he's in Tenet!
Yeah, I want to see that!
adam crigler
You know what?
Actually, on that note, I am so excited about that movie.
tim pool
We will be seeing that.
adam crigler
Anytime I see anything for it, I breeze right past.
lydia smith
You can't read it.
adam crigler
No, I don't want to know anything.
lydia smith
No spoilers.
adam crigler
Because I know I'm gonna like that movie, I don't want to see anything.
I hope that's the first movie.
Have you seen the trailers?
I haven't.
Every time I see a trailer, I turn, I walk out of the room.
tim pool
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Do you know what it's about?
adam crigler
I've seen, like... Oh, man.
Oh, this looks... Oh, wait.
Oh, what is this?
tim pool
Oh, I gotta get out of here!
unidentified
No!
I don't wanna see it!
tim pool
So do you know the general premise of what's happening?
adam crigler
No, I don't really even know what it's about.
tim pool
Then why don't you want... Wait, what do you mean?
adam crigler
What do you mean, what do I mean?
unidentified
What if you don't like it?
adam crigler
It's a Christopher Nolan movie!
tim pool
No, no, I'm sorry man, we need to be able to talk about what the movie's about.
adam crigler
Right now?
Why?
tim pool
We're talking about Superman!
Let's bring it back to Superman.
adam crigler
You want to do a segment on it?
I can prepare myself.
tim pool
Tenet looks awesome.
adam crigler
Sure, we'll leave it at that.
Tenet looks awesome.
We'll leave it at that.
I can't wait.
I like Christopher Nolan stuff.
tim pool
I want the theaters back open.
lydia smith
Yep.
adam crigler
Yes, and we can actually do stuff about like movie reviews like we used to.
Remember those days?
tim pool
I know it was fun.
lydia smith
Remember stuff.
tim pool
Those are the old times.
The old times.
Yes, the old times.
lydia smith
Timothy, this is very important.
I need you to know this.
I really want that movie to be the first movie we see when we get out of lockdown.
adam crigler
Wait, when does it come out?
lydia smith
The timing is correct because I have been waiting to see that movie ever since I saw the first ad.
adam crigler
When does it come out?
lydia smith
Yeah, I'm nervous.
When does it come out?
adam crigler
Anybody know?
tim pool
July 17th.
lydia smith
Ooh, we better be out before then.
adam crigler
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
We should be.
adam crigler
Wait, didn't AMC go out in here though?
unidentified
I don't know.
adam crigler
That's AMC right there.
lydia smith
Yeah, I know.
adam crigler
So, didn't they close down like indefinitely or something?
lydia smith
I'm not sure.
adam crigler
I thought we talked about that, but... We can find a theater nearby.
Yeah, we're good. We're good.
I want to see it in IMAX.
lydia smith
Yeah, I want to do the first movie.
tim pool
The Batman.
adam crigler
Oh yeah, the Batman.
So it is the Batman that he's in.
So this is the one that Henry Cavill might be in.
tim pool
So is it gonna be like a young Batman?
adam crigler
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know how it's gonna work.
It seems like it would be, right?
Because he's a younger man.
lydia smith
He's in his 30s, I think, right?
tim pool
Robert Pattinson.
lydia smith
What is he, 50?
No, he's like 35, maybe.
unidentified
34!
tim pool
He's younger than me!
lydia smith
Oh, he's a spring chick!
adam crigler
I thought you were 34.
tim pool
I am, but his birthday's in May and mine's in March.
adam crigler
Ah, you got him by two months.
Good for you, buddy.
tim pool
So I guess he's not going to be a young Batman, but it's going to be not the peak of his career, maybe.
lydia smith
Prequel type stuff.
tim pool
Yeah, going to be a prequel.
You know, I guess they need to do it.
But then what do they do?
Do they bring back Ben Affleck if they do Justice League 2?
adam crigler
Yeah.
lydia smith
Ooh, I don't know.
adam crigler
Probably.
Well, it's probably going to be a standalone thing.
The Batman, you know?
tim pool
It's so obvious they wanted to beat Avengers, so they rushed it.
adam crigler
Yeah, I see that.
tim pool
They could have done Cyborg, Mother Box.
Then they could have done Wonder Woman 2, Mother Box.
But instead, they were like, let's do it all at once!
And oh, there they are!
It's like, dude, you need to introduce these things and let people get accustomed.
Nobody thought Iron Man was going to be huge, because Iron Man was not a top-tier Marvel character.
I guess my understanding of it, and I could be wrong about this, so Marvel fans don't get mad at me.
My understanding was that Marvel had sold a lot of their characters away.
Like, X-Men to Fox, and Spider-Man to Sony.
And so they were like, who do we have, because we're gonna make a movie, and they did the Hulk.
So like, Marvel was basically like, all of these studios that did these movies have failed, and they've done the characters wrong.
So if we get funding and do a movie, it'll work.
So they did the Hulk.
The Hulk was kind of like, meh.
They did Iron Man, and that was a hit.
adam crigler
I mean, Robert Downey Jr.
was... He made it happen.
tim pool
Seriously.
adam crigler
I think that's the reason it was as good as it was, because he played Stark so well.
tim pool
He is Stark.
Yeah.
adam crigler
Definitely.
tim pool
I thought, this could be apocryphal, but I heard that he called his agent and said, that's me.
And he walked in and he's like, I'm Tony Stark.
adam crigler
It's just me.
Oh, in the beginning.
tim pool
That's what I heard.
He told them, it's just me.
adam crigler
That wouldn't surprise me.
He played it so well.
lydia smith
The sass and the quirk.
tim pool
Dude, Robert Downey Jr.
is amazing.
I can't believe it.
He basically saved the Marvel company.
Because they were in trouble.
They went bankrupt or whatever.
adam crigler
Oh, really?
tim pool
Yeah, and they started selling off the rights to the characters because they needed money.
adam crigler
Oh, I see.
tim pool
Something like that.
And then the MCU was like magic.
adam crigler
What an awesome movie.
tim pool
Dude, you know, I didn't realize because it's been a decade, but I was going back and looking at all these, like I was watching an older movie and I'm like, I wonder how much this movie made in the box office.
And it was like a $35 million budget and it made like $50 million.
And that was a success.
And I was like, whoa.
adam crigler
Only made only profit of 15 mil?
50.
Oh, no, no, no.
They made 50, but it cost 35.
tim pool
And marketing said they probably made less than that.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's a good point.
tim pool
The reason I say whoa is, you look back at movies in the 2000s and the 90s and stuff, and they had smaller budgets and made way less money.
Then you look at Marvel and it's like, they have a $200 million budget and made a billion dollars.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Like every single movie they've done.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's insane.
tim pool
And so that's the thing about what people don't realize about the DC movies, is that they're like, they're not really good.
It's like, let me pull up... A list of DC movies?
adam crigler
No, let me... I am interested in that though.
I gotta do that on the side here.
tim pool
Let me pull up Justice League here.
lydia smith
Alright, we're Googling.
adam crigler
I'm duck-duck going.
tim pool
So here.
lydia smith
Oh, sorry, sorry.
adam crigler
For the record.
lydia smith
There we go.
Tim's back on.
tim pool
Justice League was a $300 million budget.
It made $657.9 million.
So even if you compare this to, like, movies a long time ago, that was, like, a tenfold, you know, amount of money a lot of other movies... You know, maybe I'm wrong.
I mean, there were high-budget movies, you know, back in the day, but it seems like we're really in this era of the billion-dollar blockbuster.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So they know, they're like, just keep making more DC movies, because even if they're bad, people are gonna go see them, because they love it.
Like, Aquaman was just good enough for me.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
I liked it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
The ending was just spectacular visuals.
adam crigler
Yeah.
It was a good movie.
tim pool
I liked it.
But the music was kind of weird.
I'm looking... Wonder Woman was awesome.
adam crigler
I didn't... Wonder Woman was good.
I was thinking about the music of...
I liked Aquaman.
It was a good movie.
tim pool
Oh, you know, I'm really angry, man, because they had to postpone Wonder Woman.
adam crigler
Oh, 1984.
lydia smith
Oh, man.
tim pool
Yep.
adam crigler
Man, that looks good.
I'm excited to see that movie.
lydia smith
I know.
tim pool
Yeah.
Where are we at?
Gal Gadot.
Let's see.
What's she up to?
Filmography.
lydia smith
Oh, I like her little lefts after this.
tim pool
So Wonder Woman 1984.
Let's see.
What's the what's the?
adam crigler
Wonder Woman is the perfect example of a powerful female lead, and it's an awesome movie.
Everyone I've talked to is like, yeah, that movie was awesome.
And it's like, you don't need to, it wasn't like social justice- It wasn't creepy or feminist.
I mean, there was essences of it because- But it was done right.
But it was done correctly.
Yeah, it was dope.
tim pool
August 14th for Wonder Woman 1984.
Dude, I love the trailer for this movie.
I'm so excited for this.
adam crigler
You like the remake of that song?
unidentified
Yeah, dude.
tim pool
Blue Monday.
lydia smith
So good.
tim pool
Orchestral Blue Monday.
adam crigler
So I was looking up DC movies that are coming out and Wonder Woman's right at the top.
And I guess they just announced Green Lantern Corps.
tim pool
Really?
adam crigler
The Green Lantern Corpse.
tim pool
We gotta get a cameo.
adam crigler
A group of humans join the Green Lantern Corpse, an alien interspace police force that protects the universe.
That's uh... I always liked Green Lantern.
tim pool
We gotta get a cameo from Ryan Reynolds on that one.
adam crigler
That would be hilarious.
Yes.
Even if it's just five seconds.
Doesn't matter.
tim pool
We gotta have some cameo in that movie.
adam crigler
Please, Ryan.
He's great.
He's hilarious.
I follow him and he's a funny dude.
tim pool
He's the best celebrity.
adam crigler
He's one of the best.
tim pool
Funny, humble, self-deprecating.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's true.
He's got great qualities.
tim pool
And Deadpool was on the mark.
adam crigler
He was Deadpool.
He did such a good job.
tim pool
It was him.
That was the joke.
I guess in the comic they said Deadpool is a combination of Ryan Reynolds mixed with Sharpay.
Or something like that.
adam crigler
That's great.
tim pool
And Ryan was really advocating for Deadpool.
Wow, man.
adam crigler
He made that movie happen.
tim pool
But think about Ryan Reynolds' stature, his voice.
adam crigler
He's Deadpool, man.
He's so Deadpool, it's so true.
tim pool
It's like Robert Downey Jr.
unidentified
is Iron Man and Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool.
tim pool
I will go and see 50 Deadpool movies if they keep making them.
Totally, same here.
The silly fun is hilarious.
adam crigler
I would say the same thing with Iron Man, but they killed him off!
Why'd they have to kill him off?
tim pool
The fact of the matter is both of them can't keep doing it, you know what I mean?
adam crigler
But, I mean... Pirates of the Caribbean?
tim pool
Deadpool 2 is hilarious.
I love Deadpool 2.
adam crigler
How many others?
There's five of them?
tim pool
They're doing more.
Pirates?
Yeah.
adam crigler
Are they bringing him back?
tim pool
I believe they're bringing back Johnny Depp.
lydia smith
They freaking better.
Win for Johnny.
Yes.
adam crigler
You go, Johnny.
tim pool
Alright, so let's hop back over to the last few Super Chats here.
And we've gone over a little bit like normal, but you know, it's okay.
adam crigler
Classy.
lydia smith
As usual.
tim pool
Let's see, where are we at on these Super Chats?
Oh, I like this one.
Oh man, people are bringing up some really good points.
I wanna read these, I wanna read these.
adam crigler
Alright.
Yeah, it's good, good.
tim pool
Okay, here we are.
Let's see... I actually think there's good points being made about Superman being a weird character.
adam crigler
Because he's too powerful.
There's not enough... He is.
tim pool
He's got weird powers that don't really make sense.
And, like, they really try to explain the Flash, for instance.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Speed force they try to create some kind of you know a system so you can understand his powers
Okay, Superman lasers freeze breath At one point Superman could fire little supermans out of
his palms Pink kryptonite turns him gay. Oh of course
Not kidding.
adam crigler
Wait, seriously?
unidentified
That is awesome.
adam crigler
Why?
tim pool
I don't know.
unidentified
What?
tim pool
They just keep writing crazy and crazy stuff.
adam crigler
Okay.
lydia smith
Sounds very 80s, I'm just saying.
tim pool
So yes, I would agree, Superman.
I don't think he's the lamest, though.
I think they have really bad superheroes.
But I still like Superman, it's cool.
adam crigler
Like what?
tim pool
Really lame superheroes?
adam crigler
Yeah, give me one.
That's worse than Superman.
tim pool
On the top of my head?
adam crigler
Yeah, quickly, right now.
Go.
tim pool
I don't think I could.
adam crigler
Okay, that's fine.
I had to put you on the spot.
lydia smith
Too much pressure.
tim pool
No, when I think of superheroes, I don't care for the lame ones.
That's why.
adam crigler
Good point.
tim pool
Yeah.
So, when I'm thinking of superheroes... They don't deserve space in the memory bank.
I don't watch videos of the lame superheroes.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
That actually proves that Superman's actually not that bad.
unidentified
Alright.
tim pool
But I do think it's worthy of criticism.
Nathan says, my wife works in St.
Paul Hospital where they are closing down due to rioting.
Family of mine work in National Guard on their way to assist in managing the riots.
Fires were visible from Wisconsin state line.
unidentified
Whoa.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
St.
Miles says, Adam's shirt should say, I will spin the saucer.
8BitNiko says, Kevin Conroy, best Batman.
adam crigler
Kevin Conroy?
What did he play Batman in?
tim pool
He's the voice actor for all Batman.
So I will tell you this straight up.
adam crigler
Okay, for cartoon Batman.
tim pool
For video games and cartoons, Kevin Conroy absolutely is the best.
adam crigler
In video games also?
tim pool
Yes.
Okay, well... His voice is Batman.
End of story.
adam crigler
I gotta give it to him.
tim pool
If we were going to take everyone who's ever done anything having to do with Batman, I would still give Adam West number one because he's the legend classic.
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
Then Kevin Conroy for sure.
If we're talking about live action stuff, Kevin Conroy, you know, but I absolutely think he is the best voice.
Look, Adam West has a special place as legend status.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But if I'm talking about serious Batman fighting and seriousness, Kevin Conroy for sure.
adam crigler
Well, it's like Mark Hamill is the Joker.
tim pool
He's Mark Hamill.
Joker, dude.
adam crigler
He was like being interviewed and someone's like, can you can you do like the Joker voice?
And he was like, yeah, OK.
And then like did it for a while.
And I was like, whoa, like he became a different person.
tim pool
Dude, the animated series is one of the best pieces of art.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And it was the first cartoon to ever win an Emmy.
adam crigler
Oh, wow.
tim pool
Mr. Freeze episode.
adam crigler
Nice.
tim pool
I think I think it was an Emmy.
adam crigler
That's cool.
tim pool
Uh, and then Bill says, Kevin Connery will always be best Batman.
Yeah, yeah.
Barb says, not only is Henry Cavill a great Superman, but he also plays World of Warcraft.
He apparently missed the initial call saying he got the role because he was in the middle of a clan boss raid.
That's awesome.
lydia smith
Oh my gosh, that's funny.
adam crigler
That's pretty cool.
tim pool
Ryan Woodward says, here's 50 bucks for telling Jack Dorsey to his face that regulation was coming for him.
adam crigler
Oh yeah.
unidentified
You did.
lydia smith
Tim Pool profit.
tim pool
And here it is.
adam crigler
And he responded.
tim pool
Andrew Hillier says, Christian Bale best Bruce Wayne.
Ben Affleck best Batman.
adam crigler
Interesting.
That's a good point.
tim pool
Bobby says, Kevin Conroy is best.
VA, a voice actor from animated series.
I think we stand corrected on that one for sure.
Kevin Conroy.
Sean Caldwell says, thank all y'all for all you do for us.
The most valuable thing you can give folks is your time.
RE shop owner in Texas.
We have the castle law.
You can protect yourself, your property, and others with deadly force.
lydia smith
Yeah, like stand your ground.
tim pool
Jeremy coming in saying Kevin Conroy, man.
I feel bad for discrediting him.
We shouldn't do that.
adam crigler
I didn't even know.
I didn't know his name and now I do.
Thank you everybody.
tim pool
Political Pod, it says, Chris Meloni has level four TDS.
Look at his Twitter.
That's a shame.
lydia smith
Oh no, I hate to see it.
tim pool
It's a shame, but listen.
adam crigler
I haven't seen it.
tim pool
So does Mark Ruffalo.
I still like him as a person.
adam crigler
I have seen that.
tim pool
It's bad, man.
Yeah.
It makes me sad.
I'm like, come on, man.
adam crigler
It's a little cringey, a lot.
tim pool
It's so cringey.
adam crigler
And it just makes me think about what we say.
It's like, the people on the left just stay on the left and only look for news on the left instead of being on the right or in the middle and looking at all news and being like, hmm, hmm, good points.
I'm gonna take what I got from all of those and make my own decisions.
tim pool
Sure, sure, but my issue isn't about that.
With Mark Ruffalo, it's that you need to stand up so you can pull the stick out of your butt.
adam crigler
A little different, wasn't expecting that.
tim pool
The way they act.
You can hate the president, you can be wrong about the president, but what they do is something different.
Like, he goes on Twitter and he's just like...
adam crigler
Yeah.
I see that.
tim pool
You're not making any points.
You're just screeching non-stop.
But I will tell you this.
I think he does a great job as The Hulk.
I look forward to seeing him in more movies.
I think he does a really good job.
I really like him as an actor.
And that's okay that I don't like his politics and I wish I wish he had that in him as well, that we can disagree and not like each other, but still have a professional respect for the work other people do.
But he's out there, man.
Hey, Chris Evans did this thing where he started meeting with Republicans to talk to them.
He's got TDS, but I really respect that he tried.
That's good.
lydia smith
He did the right thing.
tim pool
Robert Contreras says, how do you like Henry Cavill on The Witcher?
I have never seen such a perfect match for a role.
Ledger for Joker, maybe, but Cavill is great.
I couldn't get into The Witcher.
I fell off of it, the show.
adam crigler
I am the same.
You know what's funny?
Every so often I'm like, all right, I'm going to finish the first season at least.
And I watch an episode and I'm like, ah, why?
Although I haven't played the Witcher games and I feel like that might make a difference if I actually play the games and I knew the lore of the universe and then, you know, maybe watching the TV show.
But I feel like there's something with the writing.
It feels like I'm watching something from the 90s, like something Kevin Sorbo would do.
You know what I mean?
tim pool
But hey man, don't rag on Sorbo.
adam crigler
Oh no, Kevin Sorbo was awesome.
Hercules was awesome.
Hercules was awesome, I know.
But watching it now, it's like, okay, what is this?
There's a little cheesy element to it.
And I feel like they were trying to be so realistic, but they still had this cheese element too that I just can't unsee.
tim pool
Hercules was awesome.
adam crigler
Hercules was awesome.
I watched that show.
It was a good show.
unidentified
I liked it.
adam crigler
I'm not trying to diss Kevin Sorbo.
Kevin Sorbo was great.
tim pool
But it just something about comparing the quality levels of what Witcher was going to be this grandiose like adaptation and instead it turned into one of these CW kind of shows.
adam crigler
Yeah, a little bit.
There's a little element of something about that show that I just can't do it.
tim pool
I like the CW shows too, but it's like Game of Thrones compared to Arrow.
It's like, yeah, well, actually I'll take that back.
adam crigler
But they really wanted to be this epic.
Let's see.
Cliff says, watch Grace Randolph to find out about movies.
was I mean there's some good fight scenes I'm like I'm not I don't want to
deny that the Witcher has really cool elements to it I don't know Westworld
garbage oh man I'm gonna talk about Westworld Westworld just started way up
here and just slowly disintegrated as it went along yeah all right let's see
tim pool
Cliff says watch Grace Randolph to find out about movies Wanda Wanda says he was also in a movie called remember me
about the twin twin towers chef spork says it's not the old times it's the
before times Yes, the before times.
adam crigler
The before times.
tim pool
Normies Get Out says, Tim, I got laid off when oil busted.
Texting here.
Can I have a job?
I promise I won't tell everyone what's under your beanie.
Unfortunately, I am not hiring.
But maybe, so the first thing that has to happen is building, and then it could be six months, a year.
So, I guess we'll see what happens.
Sean Moore says, Ken West told me, as CTO of Marvel, he was against Downey since he was a felon and a drunk.
Crazy.
Maybe Sapien says, Greetings brodacious beanie brigade.
Tim, your Karen impression is spot on.
Please do it one more time.
I don't remember what I did for the Karen impression.
lydia smith
I don't remember either.
adam crigler
Your impressions in general are pretty spot on.
lydia smith
I enjoy your impressions.

lydia smith

lydia smith
A little bit.
Yeah.
tim pool
Whiny.
Andrew Starr says, did y'all see the pawn shop owner who defended his property last night with a gun?
lydia smith
Yep.
tim pool
And has already been arrested for murder, but the cop is still free.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
That is insane.
lydia smith
Isn't that weird?
adam crigler
Yeah.
Insane.
Defending himself.
tim pool
Character Holding says, Tim for Joker, Adam for Batman, Lydia for her choice.
All the female characters are awesome.
STFU says, Passion of the Christ $83 million opening weekend.
Man, that, wow.
lydia smith
That's amazing.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Vipiris says, The Batman is supposed to be set shortly after Bruce Wayne puts on the cowl.
Mainly focused on the detective part of the character and covers an entire year in which you see Bruce Wayne improve his suit and gadgets.
adam crigler
Cool.
tim pool
That sounds fun.
Andrew says Hugh Jackman is Wolverine.
Definitely.
But Wolverine was supposed to be short.
Hugh Jackman is like 6'5".
adam crigler
He doesn't seem that tall.
In the movies, he doesn't seem 6'5".
I know he's a tall guy, but I feel like they probably shrunk him down.
He's, you know, you see him next to all those other guys, you know, the X-Men, and he doesn't seem 6'5".
Yeah, I have no idea.
lydia smith
That's tall.
adam crigler
That's a tall man.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
He's 6'2".
adam crigler
Okay, 6'2".
Still, I mean, that's not as tall, but still.
tim pool
Wolverine was supposed to be tiny, like 5'4", or something.
unidentified
I know, 5'5".
adam crigler
Really?
lydia smith
I have no idea.
adam crigler
But that statement, that statement, what is it, Andrew Starr?
Is so true.
tim pool
It is, it is.
adam crigler
I gotta give it to you.
unidentified
Yeah, 100%.
adam crigler
He was Wolverine, absolutely.
lydia smith
Height and size, yes.
adam crigler
Hands down.
tim pool
Marshall Levine says, I've been in love with Robert Downey Jr.
since Weird Science, 1985.
I date myself.
Shazam!
The Set, TV show on After ISIS, needs to be a movie too.
Weird Science was fun.
It was made before I was alive, but I did see it when I was younger.
Nolan says, have some Walmart cart pusher cash, Beanie Man.

Ed says, Kevin Conway rocks his Batman, especially in the Arkham series.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
He really is the best.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's the games I've played.
tim pool
I wish his voice could be in the movies, but he's not the physical actor.
Chris says, when people complain about wokeness in movies, it seems that they are just complaining
about bad writing defended by wokeness.
It's a really good point.
adam crigler
It's a mix, I feel, like it could go either way.
tim pool
Because when movies are woke, but done right, they're like Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
It gave us, you know, a perspective of people of color.
adam crigler
Man, that was an excellent, excellent movie.
tim pool
And it was awesome.
lydia smith
It was a really good movie.
tim pool
You can do woke right.
Static Shock is my favorite example of how to do what woke is supposed to be.
The Static Shock cartoon.
Taught you all these life lessons.
Dealt with racism and homophobia.
It's a good show.
lydia smith
Maybe woke is the wrong word then.
Maybe what we're thinking is like actual social justice.
The way it's actually supposed to be done.
Social and just.
tim pool
I always say that social justice at its core is an awesome thing.
Justice is what we're striving for.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
But the horrible writing and pandering and the authoritarian application.
Yes, that is wokeness.
adam crigler
It's when you become a warrior.
lydia smith
Yeah, exactly.
adam crigler
When no one asked you to.
lydia smith
Right.
Yeah.
tim pool
Let's see.

Roger says, Christopher Reeve is Superman.
All others are less.

He was a good Superman.
I liked those movies as a kid.

He wasn't Superman.

Keep true to you, man.

I like disagreeing with people.
