tim pool
How's it going everybody?
Welcome to the Timcast IRL podcast.
Boy, do we have a show for you tonight.
adam crigler
Oh, yes.
tim pool
Tonight, I'm hanging out with some friends.
adam crigler
Oh, hey, what up, everybody?
Smash that like button!
I know we're just starting right now, but, uh, you know.
tim pool
Trying to get an early start on it.
adam crigler
Smash it.
Smash it anyway.
Smash it!
What's up?
tim pool
Thanks for showing up.
unidentified
We need to get, like, an air horn.
tim pool
There's also Lydia.
She exists.
lydia smith
Yeah, and I don't want an air horn.
Can we not?
tim pool
No air horn?
adam crigler
What?
lydia smith
No, no air horn.
adam crigler
Why not?
lydia smith
I like my ears, and I don't want to be deaf.
adam crigler
So we can aim it in a different direction.
Right into the mic.
tim pool
Oh my gosh.
adam crigler
Too much?
lydia smith
Yes.
adam crigler
Ah, whatever.
lydia smith
Alright, alright.
tim pool
Can this year get any weirder?
lydia smith
No.
adam crigler
Yes.
Okay, let's start with the beginning.
The aliens have yet to arrive.
tim pool
That's true.
adam crigler
They're coming.
I'm sure they're coming sometime soon.
tim pool
But no, but we're crunching a decade.
You know what this is?
What?
This year is like an anthology episode of a TV show where all the things are like highlighted.
So what do we have?
We have the impeachment of the president, Right.
lydia smith
That was fun.
tim pool
Yeah, that was fun.
unidentified
That was great.
lydia smith
Yeah, I really enjoyed that.
tim pool
And then, you know, nothing happened.
Then we had this global pandemic.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Then we have nationwide riots.
Now we have the occupation of this seven city blocks or six city blocks in Seattle.
Trump's threatening to move in the military, you know, to come in and take over or whatever.
adam crigler
Well, the governor was like, I don't know what you're talking about.
lydia smith
Yeah.
kitty demure
What do you mean?
unidentified
No.
adam crigler
There's some people in my town?
I don't know.
tim pool
Ladies and gentlemen, I'd love to make fun of the stupid failed attempt at whatever it is they're doing.
And we're going to!
kitty demure
Because we have some photos from the Chaz that I can't stop laughing every time I see the photos.
tim pool
They tried to do a garden.
And like they literally threw dirt on the ground and put a potted plant on top of it.
But we have a moral obligation to debunk some fake news.
Remember when all those cops resigned because an old man got pushed over?
adam crigler
Of course.
tim pool
Fake news.
They didn't actually resign.
They resigned from a team, they're still cops, and they explained it has nothing to do with solidarity with other cops.
Now this is significant because the left was using this to prove all cops were bad.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
So we have that story.
We also have the Chas, and we're gonna talk about the Chas.
We got some funny pictures.
Apparently they have bags of Sprite.
lydia smith
Oh, this is going well.
tim pool
I think it's funny, but that I'm not necessarily... I laugh at the absurdity of a bag of Sprite, but I'm also impressed by the ingenuity of it.
We have a two-liter, how do we give it to people?
Ziploc bags, I guess?
How do you drink?
Do you bite the bottom and then pour it into your mouth?
I don't know, whatever.
Anyway, the point is, there's a lot to talk about in their new autonomous zone, which is completely dependent on vegan meat substitute foreign aid.
And then we've got, uh, the PS5 is out.
adam crigler
Oh yeah.
Well, it's not out, but they finally revealed.
They finally revealed.
tim pool
So we got a big list of games.
We'll talk about video games.
Cause apparently there's a big backlash to one of the games cause it looks like Tumblr.
It's like a bunch of animal people and they're like, you know, whiny.
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't know enough about it, but apparently it's getting like, just like obliterated on YouTube thumbs down.
So I figured we'd look at the list of games.
We can talk about it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But the first thing I'm gonna do, we actually have a bunch of stories for the first segment.
An NYPD cop has apologized for kneeling.
And he's like, I feel bad, I shouldn't have done it.
CPD says that they will discipline you and maybe even fire you if you kneel.
But the bigger story is, let's debunk this fake news.
So, if you haven't already, get in that super chat.
We can't get to every single super chat, we'll get to as many as we can.
Smash the like button, subscribe, like, share.
We do the show every Monday through Friday 8 p.m.
And let your friends know because apparently you guys like the show because you keep coming back, so... But let's get started with this first story.
Check this out.
This is from WKBW.
Exclusive, two Buffalo Police ERT members say resignation was not in solidary with suspended
officers.
Quote, it went bad, it went bad.
Two officers of the Buffalo Police Department's Emergency Response Team spoke with 7 Eyewitness
News under the condition their names not be used.
The officers are part of the 57-person volunteer assignment team that resigned Friday following
an incident involving two of their members Thursday night in Niagara Square.
They did not resign from the police department, only from their roles on the team.
The officers we spoke with said the Buffalo Police Benevolent Association statement asserting
all 57 officers resigned from ERT in a show of support with two officers that were suspended
without pay is not true.
adam crigler
They put that on every- everywhere I looked was that narrative.
Every single mainstream media was just pushing that everywhere.
tim pool
It's not true.
adam crigler
And it's not true?
tim pool
It's not true at all.
They said, quote, I don't understand why the union said that it's a thing of solidarity.
I think it sends the wrong message that we're backing our own.
And that's not the case.
We quit because our union said they aren't legally backing us anymore.
So why would we stand on the line for the city with no legal backing if something were
to happen?
Has nothing to do with us supporting a representative from the Buffalo Police Benevolent Association
told seven Eyewitness News reporter Hannah Buhler.
The officers resigned in disgust with how the two officers were treated.
Some of them probably resigned because they support the officer.
Oh, there it is.
But for many of us, that's not true.
The city DA Flynn, they're not representing those guys at all.
They have to find their own lawyers.
They have to come out of pocket.
7 Eyewitness News was not able to reach PBA President John Evans to confirm this information or get a response to several officers shooting down his assertions.
But we did obtain an email sent to PBA members by Evans.
It states in part, In light of this, in order to maintain the sound financial structure of the PBA, it will be my opinion that PBA not pay for any ERT or SWAT members legal defense related to these protests going forward.
This admin in conjunction with DA John Flynn and or JP Kennedy could put a serious dent in the PBA's funds.
You can't ask people to do something and then when they do it and it goes bad then you just say they're on their own.
That's what an officer said.
This completely debunks so much of the left's narrative.
That's why they were lying about it.
adam crigler
Yep, exactly.
tim pool
There's two big debunks.
First, the first one they tried claiming is that because all these cops resigned, it proved all cops were bad.
I saw the tweets going far and wide.
unidentified
They're like, remember when they said, not all cops, just some bad apples?
tim pool
And then when two cops knocked down an old man, they all resigned in solidarity.
Didn't happen.
It also proves something really, really bad for the left.
We've talked about this on the show, about the potential for getting rid of qualified immunity or making the cops pay their own insurance.
It's actually simple.
The cops just quit.
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
Now, these cops apparently didn't quit the actual department, but they'll stop doing specific things.
And I'd be willing to bet that if it came... So they were told specifically, in these protests, SWAT and ERT will not be legally protected by the union.
So they said, then we won't do it.
adam crigler
Yeah, why would they want to risk it then?
tim pool
And so what happens if you came back and said, all cops are responsible for everything?
Guess what?
adam crigler
Everybody quit.
tim pool
We out.
adam crigler
Okay, bye.
tim pool
Not gonna do it.
And that's kind of, I guess it sucks, you know?
I think there's a good faith attempt at figuring out a right way to deal with some of these problems, because there are some bad people who get away with things because of these protections.
And I don't like the general idea of the protections in the first place.
But then you gotta think about what people are being asked to do.
You're asking someone to specifically go out and engage with another person.
Typically, it involves violence.
That's why they have pepper spray guns and tasers.
So you're literally telling them, we want you to go in a situation where it's likely force will need to be used, and we want you to be equipped with the maximum possible force to use, like a gun, lethal force.
You can also have tasers.
That means we expect there's a higher probability of death in these circumstances.
Well, who would take that risk?
What's the benefit?
Especially when your salary is like, what, $30,000 a year for a lot of these young cops just starting out?
adam crigler
Is that it?
That's so low.
tim pool
New York, like 10 years ago, New York was like $27,000.
And a lot of the cops were living with their parents.
adam crigler
That's insane.
In New York especially, because it's expensive to live in New York.
tim pool
And then the white shirts were getting like six figures, sometimes up to like 200 or 300k.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
But those are guys who have been on for like 20 years.
They're high rankings, you know, supervisors.
adam crigler
Worked their way up.
tim pool
So yeah, man, this is, uh, it's maybe, this may be one of those issues where there is no nice rounded top where we can compromise.
Maybe it's a sharp, you know, imbalance that no matter what you do, you're on one side or the other.
Either we protect the cops, or we don't have cops.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And then if we don't have cops, we see what happens, right?
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
What happened in LA?
200 homicides were up 250% or something?
adam crigler
Yep.
Chicago's up to the war zone right now.
tim pool
Yeah, well, you know, Chicago!
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, and I guess maybe...
Maybe these cities need just a Republican.
You know, I'm not saying it's because I agree with Republican policy, but certainly at some point,
you're going to stop trying to do the same exact thing over and over again.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And expect different results.
adam crigler
That's what insanity is, isn't it?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah. Well, that's, you know, like an internet slang definition of it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But perhaps after 60, 70, 80 years of only ever voting for the same party and giving them a super
majority.
You know what it could be?
Not that they need a Republican, but that there's no competition.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Democrats don't need to compete with any other political party.
So they offer nothing new.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
Same thing.
It's like, oh, don't worry, we'll fix this.
We won't trust us.
But here's what they're thinking.
They're like, why do I care?
We're gonna win no matter what.
Like, the congressional seat goes to whoever the Democratic Party wants to get it.
So why bother doing anything if no one's demanding it?
You get all these people in Chicago, not one of them is coming out, you know, they might say change.
It's like, bro, you all vote for the same people over and over and over again.
You're clearly happy with what you got.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So who are these people who are angry?
adam crigler
I don't know.
Well, do you see this?
I just pulled this up right here.
tim pool
What is this?
adam crigler
This is Millie.
He's, um, I guess it's one of the top brass and he's apologizing for walking to the church with Donald Trump the other day.
tim pool
Yeah, he's choosing sides.
The ranks are forming now for some kind of hard coup, civil conflict, I don't know what you want to call it.
There's no reason for him to make a public statement on this unless he's trying to assert, he's hedging his bets right now, that something is going to happen and he needs to make sure he's on the winning team or who he thinks will win.
lydia smith
He's getting out in front of it.
tim pool
He is getting out in front of it.
adam crigler
Yeah, I can see that.
tim pool
I don't like that.
We've seen this already with a bunch of other Joint Chiefs of Staff.
So they're all basically coming out against Trump, projecting he's going to lose, I guess.
But another thing that's interesting about what's going on with the police is how a bunch of these police bent the knee.
And we saw the National Guard do it, and now they're all regretting it.
Yeah, take a look at this story.
The cop in me wants to kick my own A. NYPD lieutenant apologizes to officers for kneeling alongside George Floyd protesters and says he hasn't been able to sleep since making the wrong decision.
Lieutenant Robert Catani, 34, walked back his decision to kneel with protesters at a May 31st demonstration in Manhattan just three days later.
How about the guy who got on his belly and put his hands behind his back?
I wonder if he regrets it.
lydia smith
He regrets that, yeah.
tim pool
He apologized profusely to his colleagues in the Midtown South Precinct.
Katani claimed he will regret the decision for the rest of his life, and had considered leaving the police force as a result.
He claimed he decided to kneel to encourage the demonstrations to remain peaceful, but should not have given in to a crowd of protesters.
The lieutenant was pictured taking a knee alongside at least three other cops in Foley Square as protests chanted.
You're gone.
Now the harder ramifications.
Chicago Police Union President takes hard stand against officers who kneel with protesters.
So apparently they've gone as far to say that, you know, do it out of uniform, do it on your
own time.
But he says, well, actually, let me just read it to give you the full context.
The president of Chicago's Fraternal Order of Police is taking a hard stand against officers
who kneel.
In an interview with WGN Radio, John Catanzara said if officers want to side with demonstrators,
they should do it out of uniform on their own time.
Any member of Lodge 7 who is going to take a knee and basically side with protesters
while they're in uniform will subject themselves to discipline in the lodge up to and including
expulsion from Lodge 7.
Okay, so that, that, I don't think that's actually, uh, that's the fraternal order.
I guess they're not saying you'll be fired, so I was wrong about that.
Critics of, uh, Kent and Zara's comments were quick to point out the FOP president's own controversial social media post back in 2017.
He posted a photo of himself in Chicago police uniform in front of a squad car with a sign that said, I stand for the anthem, I love the American flag, I support my president and the Second Amendment.
Kent and Zara posted the photo in the wake of Donald Trump and caper and neck and ween all that stuff.
So, I mean, that's a good criticism, I guess.
You can't, you know, you can't go out and protest for your cause and then complain if they want to do something for their cause.
And not only that, like the thing about kneeling, I wouldn't even say that's a plan to protest.
It's like spontaneous.
The cops are out.
Protesters are getting all rowdy.
If taking a knee de-escalates things, I don't know.
Why is that a bad thing?
unidentified
I don't know.
Yeah.
tim pool
Is it not?
You know, what are they what are they supposed to do?
Just like charge in and throw tear gas or arrest people or what?
adam crigler
I don't know, it is a tough question, because what does that represent, you know?
It's like, conceding that they're... I mean, everyone was ripping Colin Kaepernick apart for kneeling during the anthem, and now they're gonna kneel with him, and it's like, you know, it feels like... Why is kneeling offensive for the American flag?
Yeah, why?
tim pool
He literally bent the knee for the anthem.
Like, getting on one knee is a sign of fealty.
adam crigler
True.
But that's not what he was doing, though.
tim pool
I don't care.
I'm like, dude, if you're gonna come to me and start bowing before me, going, I'm actually protesting you, I'd be like, yeah, keep at it, buddy.
All right, protest all day and night.
People are gonna look at you and they're gonna be like, why is that guy bowing to that man?
You can call it whatever you want.
So, you know, he wanted to kneel for the national anthem because everyone stood and put their hand on their heart.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I get it, I guess.
But my reaction is like, I mean, I think you shouldn't kneel because we're Americans.
Americans don't kneel.
You know what I mean?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But if you want to, it's I don't think I don't see it as disrespectful.
I don't even understand why, you know, it matters all that much.
It's like, yeah, sure.
Great.
I don't know.
I feel like that was just a stupid.
You know what?
Actually, I take this back.
I long for the days when all we were concerned about was someone kneeling at a football game.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Three years ago, this was our biggest problem.
How dare this man get on one knee?
Now it's like, how dare these cops kill a dude, and the president's gonna send in the military, and we're all dying of a pandemic, and they're taking over cities.
Well, Donald Trump has announced, dominate the streets.
With compassion.
With compassion.
The best compassion.
Everyone agrees.
It sounds good.
I don't know what it means.
Right. He will, look at this, he will unveil an executive order on police reform to dominate the streets with
compassion at Dallas Roundtable.
Oh, but, but, but he didn't invite city's black top law enforcement officials. Oh no.
What does that mean to domi... What did he say?
Okay.
He says, in his first remarks on police reform, he described his response to the protest as dominating, but with compassion.
We are doing it with compassion, if you think about it.
We are dominating the street with compassion, he said.
adam crigler
Yes, over and over.
tim pool
What does that mean?
adam crigler
What does it mean now, Trump?
Come on.
tim pool
Could you imagine a bunch of like, you know, Trump and a bunch of cops walking down through the protest, giving out flowers and stuff.
adam crigler
Peace be with you.
tim pool
And hugs.
Yeah, peace be with you.
adam crigler
Peace be with you.
tim pool
Peace be with you.
No, I don't know what that's supposed to mean.
adam crigler
I don't know either.
tim pool
I find it to be quite silly, but it's quite Trumpian.
It is.
Very true.
He said before we need to dominate, and then everyone got mad.
You know what, Trump needs to own it.
He does.
adam crigler
He does own it though, doesn't he?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Well, I mean, saying dominate with compassion is like, it's so Trump.
adam crigler
You're right.
That's very Trumpian.
tim pool
It is like what you're going to, the cops are going to be smiling when they fire their rubber bullets at you.
lydia smith
The best compassion.
adam crigler
There you go.
unidentified
With bullets.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
They're going to, they're going to be saying like, I love you.
And so, you know, so what they do is they'll get their sticks and they'll jump forward at the same time and go move.
adam crigler
Maybe they'll put flowers in the barrels of the gun.
tim pool
No, no, no.
Instead of yelling, move, move, as they jab you, they're gonna go, I love you!
lydia smith
I respect you!
tim pool
I care about you!
You're valued!
And they're gonna be hitting people and trampling them, and the tear gas is gonna have, like, hearts on it.
unidentified
I love you so much!
So much love!
adam crigler
The only thing you should be doing that to is the like button.
lydia smith
That's right.
adam crigler
Smash that like button!
tim pool
Yes, that's perfect.
adam crigler
Any chance I get.
tim pool
So I don't know if they actually talk about what Trump's real plan is going to be.
lydia smith
Does he have a plan?
I don't know.
tim pool
Wait, it says the roundtable included African American leaders from the fields of religion, law enforcement, and small business owners.
Then why do they title it saying he didn't invite them?
adam crigler
Yeah, wait.
tim pool
That's so dumb.
adam crigler
I'm sorry, what?
lydia smith
That sounds like fake news.
tim pool
In recent days, President Trump repeatedly stated his support for police and said progress would not be made by calling millions of Americans racists.
That he is right about.
In recent days, there have been vigorous discussions about how to ensure fairness, equality, and justice for all our people.
Unfortunately, there's some trying to stoke the division and to push an extreme agenda, which we won't go for.
That will probably produce only more poverty, more crime, more suffering.
This includes radical efforts to defund, dismantle, and disband the police he added.
adam crigler
Solid, solid points right there.
Yeah, this is good.
Exactly, like, it is very clear that they want to keep a division and divide us all instead of just saying, we're all Americans, we're all in this together, let's figure it out together.
tim pool
Well, they were all about being in it together up until they decided they needed to protest.
lydia smith
Right, and then we were all separate.
tim pool
Think about every, think about this, every single commercial from these corporations where it did the same exact thing, where it shows like a little kid, you know, laughing, and then it shows like cell phone footage, and then it goes, COVID-19 pandemic, we're all in this together.
And everyone got really annoyed with it, like, ugh.
And then as soon as the protests started, they immediately run full speed to say, we're with you here, here.
adam crigler
Not you, though.
tim pool
You stay in your house.
But we're in this together.
Now COVID's coming back.
adam crigler
Of course it is.
tim pool
Dude, the craziest thing about it is that when Vox wrote, Vox.com, the left-wing site, wrote that COVID was spiking in Arizona, they were like, we can't seem to figure out why these spikes are happening.
Perhaps it's because they reopened the economy on May 15th.
unidentified
That was a month ago, dude.
adam crigler
Or thousands of people gathered over the past two weeks.
tim pool
Or maybe five days ago, you guys were all like, let's go party in the streets and do the electric shuffle or whatever, the electric slide.
adam crigler
Oh yeah, that thing.
tim pool
The videos of the cops doing like the dance with the people and it's like, and now they're getting sick and they all seem to have amnesia.
Just woke up one day, completely forgot they were cheering for and advocating everyone going out and doing these things.
adam crigler
Ridiculous.
tim pool
Yeah.
Yeah.
I wonder if the American people can see it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So apparently there was a story about I briefly saw this.
I don't know the full details, but One American News did a poll in Florida and found that is actually tied with, you know, Trump and Biden are tied.
adam crigler
Oh, really?
tim pool
Yeah.
And they were they were surprised to see it.
And that to me is is Shocking.
adam crigler
I don't know, man.
I don't know, man.
I see these polls.
I don't know.
The numbers vary so much.
I see polls all the time.
But earlier today I saw 39 percent to like, you know, I don't know, six.
Whatever else.
It was like 55 or something Biden.
tim pool
But any doubt that we would be wrong is completely removed once you see the double standard when
it comes to them cheering for the Black Lives Matter protesters and condemning the anti-lockdown
kitty demure
protesters.
tim pool
Now they're pretending like they don't know what's causing this.
Bill de Blasio was asked, they saw a spike in cases, and he goes, we can't figure out why this is happening.
What?
kitty demure
You just celebrated the protesters.
tim pool
You were just on TV talking about your daughter getting arrested.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
And you forgot?
I gotta tell you, man, if Joe Biden wins and the Democrats continue this, my only assumption is that you have two factions in this country.
Morons who can't read and people who can.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Because at a certain point, you can hate Donald Trump.
But well, actually, you know, I can't imagine anybody is going to look at how the media is functioning, how they're lying to you about everything, and then think, I would like to support that.
But I guess, hey, maybe when you're so blinded with rage for Donald Trump, you don't have a functioning brain.
Trump Derangement Center makes you go insane.
adam crigler
Yeah, maybe.
And then they're just... Honestly, it felt like the Democrats were totally okay with everyone that was out marching to get COVID.
It's like they were like, yeah, no, no, everyone stay inside.
But if you're if you're for Black Lives Matter, go go march.
And it's like, did we?
You were shoving it down our throat that this virus was so scary that it's so infectious.
It's novel.
Everyone's going to get it.
And then all of a sudden you're like, no, no, no.
Go out there and protest for your right to protest.
But only if that's your cause.
Everyone else stay inside.
It's like, what?
Now there's a spike.
And now they're like, whoa, what happened?
We don't know.
Sorry, everybody.
It looks like you're going to get a lot more deaths.
lydia smith
All those red states.
adam crigler
What?
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
And it's not red states.
It's blue cities, blue states that are going to get all these new deaths from.
tim pool
Right.
Well, then there are there are blue cities in these red states.
adam crigler
OK.
tim pool
Like what caused the spike in Miami?
And it's like there was a major protest.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
In Miami.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
I mean, what?
lydia smith
Hello, science.
tim pool
Yeah.
But dude, I have to imagine.
There are a lot of people who are really, really dumb.
And I see them posting on Facebook, and I think, I think, you know, a lot of people underestimate just how dumb they are.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
So, like, I see some people that I know from, you know, Chicago, and they'll post things where it's like, they clearly just saw one article one time, and that was the, that's the extent to which they understand politics.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
And it'll be like, you know, Donald Trump, like, you know, I don't know, punches puppy or something.
And then they'll be like, Yeah.
I'm seeing it, too.
In which way, though?
them they're going to be like, I have no idea what you're talking about.
So they really just are disengaged.
adam crigler
Yeah.
Though I do think though, I'm seeing it too.
tim pool
The riots activated a ton of people.
A ton, a ton of people.
adam crigler
In which, which way though?
tim pool
Both.
adam crigler
Both ways.
tim pool
And I don't know which one's more or less, but I can tell you.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
There was this researcher who was apparently, uh, like a Bernie
supporting like social Democrat or something.
I don't know his political affiliation, but he's supposedly a lefty.
He tweeted out this study that found, following the assassination of MLK, there were riots.
And that swung the vote two points towards Republicans, which gave Nixon the win.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
And they've actually now tracked the data, showing that peaceful protests give Democrats an advantage because it bolsters high-level elite talking points and news media.
And riots give Republicans an advantage because it triggers fear and anxiety.
And same thing, the media.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So when you look at these big peaceful protests, the press starts talking about this cause and the
celebrations.
And then Democrats hear that and they go, hmm.
But then you replace that with explosions and chaos and screaming.
adam crigler
And warlords.
tim pool
And regular Americans see that and they go, so who do you think is going to keep you safe?
Trump or Joe Biden?
adam crigler
That giggle was the thought of Joe Biden trying to keep the American public safe.
tim pool
The analogy that I often give is like you're in a schoolyard and you're told to vote for which person is going to protect you from the bullies or whatever and you can choose Joe Biden who's asleep in his chair snoring in the corner or Donald Trump who is literally the bully pushing people around.
You're going to be like, If I vote for you, will you be the guy?
I'll stand in front of you.
Don't worry.
I'm the best.
I'll push everybody out of your way.
You're like, eh.
adam crigler
Front of the line for the ice cream.
The best ice cream.
unidentified
Yes.
Yep.
tim pool
I don't do it very often.
Out of my way.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Chocolate for my friend here.
unidentified
Two scoops.
lydia smith
Oh, I want to be his friend.
adam crigler
Thank you.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
For my friend.
I appreciate that.
So, uh, I don't know, man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Whatever.
Should we move on to the Chaz?
adam crigler
Yes, please.
tim pool
This is the moment you have all been waiting for.
lydia smith
Speaking of warlords.
adam crigler
Raz of Chaz is running the show here.
tim pool
For those that aren't familiar, the Chaz is the Capitol Hill autonomous zone in Seattle
where a bunch of far-lefty types have occupied this space rather poorly.
Now, I've seen a bunch of conflicting reports.
Some state that in the morning the barricades just got moved over by random people and the cars started going driving through again and it was gone.
adam crigler
Like it was normal?
tim pool
Yeah, it's like back to normal.
But then protesters started showing up and then pulled them back in, I guess.
I don't know exactly what happened.
And then there are some reports now that I've seen video of the cops going back into their precinct.
adam crigler
Oh, they went back.
tim pool
Yeah.
So I don't know if there's still a thing.
lydia smith
So weird.
adam crigler
Interesting.
tim pool
But, you know, I got to say, first, just the context.
It's like they've there's there's John Brown Gun Club, which is a leftist, you know, anti-antifa affiliated kind of group.
And they're armed and they're allowed to go around armed and do their thing.
You know, they're guarding the barricades, apparently checking for weapons, trying to make sure no white supremacists are coming and no cops come in and stuff like that.
Which is weird because it means you have no freedom of movement and no Fourth Amendment rights or anything like that.
lydia smith
Literally checkpoints.
adam crigler
Isn't the police precinct like right in the center of Chaz?
I think it is.
tim pool
It's like right in the middle.
Kind of.
It's set up like a T-shape, I guess.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
tim pool
So it's like on one of the streets or whatever.
So they're there, and it's funny, like CNN, Oliver Darcy said, if you listen to right-wing media, they'll tell you, Antifa militants, armed Antifa militants have seized a portion of Seattle.
The mayor says no such interactions have occurred.
unidentified
Sure.
tim pool
And the funny thing about that is, what does the interaction with the mayor have to do with whether
or not protesters are occupying this section of the city?
There's videos of it. There's photos of it. CNN, this is the craziest thing. CNN just lies. It's
amazing how obvious and ridiculous the lies are, but people are really dumb and they don't do research.
So then they end up not knowing.
Anyway, in this space, a portion of the Capitol Hill autonomous zone includes a park with grass.
Well, because it's autonomous, that means they must grow their own food.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Unfortunately, in the past, they were asking.
So I actually heard that that vegan meat tweet wasn't real.
adam crigler
Oh, it wasn't?
tim pool
I couldn't find it.
I couldn't.
I can't find it.
They may have deleted it.
adam crigler
No, that that person, they made their Twitter private.
tim pool
But you should still be able to search for the terms and find cash diversions on Google, and I couldn't do it.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
tim pool
So I kind of am leaning towards it's probably not a real tweet, but everybody took it and just assumed it was real.
But who knows?
adam crigler
It's funny either way.
tim pool
Either way.
adam crigler
I gotta give it to it.
tim pool
There's a couple things you will need if you want an autonomous zone, and one of those things is self-sufficiency.
lydia smith
Yes.
adam crigler
Well, I bring you now to... Oh boy.
tim pool
The Chaz Updates.
adam crigler
Chaz Updates.
I gotta follow this person.
tim pool
You're gonna love these photos.
They have a farm up as of today.
Most of them have probably never seen a cow in real life, let alone do any gardening, so a lot of the plants aren't even planted and half of them are staring at it expecting to grow into ripe tomatoes any minute now.
I bring you the first photo.
I'm so sorry.
What is wrong with these people?
This... I'm not a farmer, and I still understand the concept of digging holes and placing plants in them.
lydia smith
Wow.
tim pool
And growing things.
Like, we have a garden.
lydia smith
My garden looks way better than that.
It's like a square.
adam crigler
It definitely takes at least three months, too.
Two, three months to grow food.
tim pool
They literally dumped topsoil on top of the grass.
lydia smith
And cardboard?
adam crigler
Is that, like, newspaper there?
Under?
lydia smith
It looks like cardboard.
adam crigler
Yeah, it looks like they dumped the dirt on top of the grass, but on top of newspaper.
tim pool
Now, I will admit.
I'm so confused.
adam crigler
There's newspaper everywhere.
tim pool
It does look like they just dumped topsoil on grass.
adam crigler
No, no, no.
They put newspaper down first, and then dumped the... Look at that.
That's newspaper.
There's newspaper all over the place.
tim pool
Yeah, I know, but that doesn't mean in the entire thing, I guess.
adam crigler
I see it all the way across.
tim pool
Over here?
adam crigler
Yeah, there's newspaper poking through the dirt.
tim pool
Oh yeah, there is.
What are they doing?
adam crigler
Take a look at this one.
I don't know.
tim pool
This is my favorite because they've literally just dropped potted plants on top of the soil.
adam crigler
That's it.
Looks like they're preppin' though.
Looks like they're preppin' to put him in the ground.
tim pool
Okay, okay.
We'll give him that.
Maybe they've once seen a nature show or something and they might actually... Okay, it may be unfair to criticize them because maybe they're just getting started.
lydia smith
I'm going to laugh at them anyway.
tim pool
But I'm not entirely convinced.
If only you knew how bad things really are.
And there's a frumped over plant dropped in a pot on top of the dirt.
adam crigler
It does look like a sad plant.
tim pool
What's the last one?
adam crigler
I mean, that's how they come.
I've gone to the store and gotten plants like that.
That's how they come.
tim pool
Now, hold on.
Two, two.
I think a lot of people are trying to make it seem like this guy's got his hands on his head.
Like, he's like, oh, geez.
Like, what are we doing?
unidentified
Oh, no.
adam crigler
He's tying his hair back.
tim pool
Exactly.
adam crigler
I do that.
tim pool
Both these guys are tying their hair back or putting a mask on.
adam crigler
That could be a mask.
unidentified
Right.
adam crigler
Get your man bun in order.
It doesn't change the fact that this is like... There's nothing wrong with a man bun, OK?
lydia smith
I know.
adam crigler
It's true.
For the record.
lydia smith
I'm just saying.
You've got to get it in order.
adam crigler
I'm just saying.
tim pool
You know what this is.
lydia smith
It's true.
adam crigler
Tell us what this is, Tim.
tim pool
You know when you make cookies, and you put a rolling pin down, and you get a cookie cutter, and you press the cookie cutter, and you do it as evenly as possible to maximize the amount of cookie dough that gets cut?
And then you have those just trashy edges, and you're like, well I got this big wad of dough, it's all just the leftover edges, and it can't really do anything.
It is food, you can't really do anything with it.
That's what this is, of society.
This is the outer edge of the cookie dough.
Not the cookies themselves.
It's the part where you're like, I can see that it's dough, but I can't do anything with it.
So you have people who have like a cursory understanding of like the plant goes in the dirt and then you put water on it and food comes out.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
That's a general thing you can understand, but they have no expertise, no specialties on any of this stuff.
lydia smith
They got that part, though.
tim pool
Yeah, apparently someone was even saying that the John Brown Gun Club are extremely inept when it comes to guns.
adam crigler
Oh, really?
tim pool
Now, I don't know if that's true.
adam crigler
That's dangerous.
tim pool
Because I'm not going to pretend like I know better than they do.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
But, you know, someone was actually saying in the Super Chat the other day, they were like, these people have no idea what they're doing, their training is awful.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I would not be surprised.
You see all these people and they come down, and I bring you now to one of my favorite... Wait, wait, go back, go back real quick.
adam crigler
Do you think there's soybeans in there?
tim pool
Oh, maybe.
The other thing I'd be wondering is, what are they growing, and have they considered at all the season, the temperature?
Like, dude, when you buy seeds, do you ever buy seeds before?
And you look on the back and it's like, here's your seasonal window for your region.
lydia smith
Dude, they literally won't send you certain seeds unless it's the right season.
tim pool
Now again, I'm making assumptions here, but I think it's fair to make the assumptions that they have just taken random potted plants and poured topsoil in the dirt and placed them on top of it.
adam crigler
They're probably too close together too.
tim pool
I love this.
Most of them never, never seen a cow in real life.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's funny.
Someone was like, man, we should send them some cows and chickens.
And I'm like, do you think any of those people would know how to like... No idea.
tim pool
Dude, that cow would mess them up.
adam crigler
Probably, yeah.
You know how to turn that chicken into food?
Probably not.
tim pool
No, you don't.
So apparently someone said they were gonna bring a cow down.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
Yeah, and they got all excited and didn't know if it was a troll or not.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Someone was like, I've secured a cow and they gave all the details and like, we're gonna bring it down.
adam crigler
Yeah, then what are you going to do with it?
tim pool
What are you going to do with a cow?
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
Are you going to have it just graze?
Okay, is the cow pregnant?
Does it have a calf?
Is it going to produce milk?
Or is it literally just a cow?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
They have no idea how any of this works.
It's like the story I was telling you about the people from Occupy who got a farm.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
And they quit after two weeks.
Like, that was too hard.
adam crigler
That's way too hard.
No, thanks.
tim pool
This is LARPing.
They're bored and they're playing their version of like... Well, what should we do next, guys?
adam crigler
Let's make a garden!
tim pool
How about we give out bags of Sprite?
adam crigler
Yes!
unidentified
The bags of Sprite!
Oh, that's so good.
tim pool
I love it.
lydia smith
I love it.
adam crigler
I've never seen a bag of Sprite before, but it is very sad looking.
That is a sad bag.
tim pool
Hold on!
I respect this.
One hundred percent, I respect this.
Why?
They're making do with what they have.
adam crigler
They're creating plastic waste.
lydia smith
Yes, that's true.
tim pool
Okay, sure.
adam crigler
What are they going to do?
They're just going to drink the Sprite, throw it on the ground.
unidentified
Take one bag of Sprite.
tim pool
It's hilarious.
Okay, now listen.
If I had to pick... Listen, hold on, hold on.
If I had to figure out how to distribute from a two liter, and I had no cups, and I had Ziploc bags, I'd put them in the bags too!
But even, okay, even as much as I will respect what they're doing, you have to understand how hilarious it is that they've literally gotten a little bowl full of baggies full of Sprite, and they're asking you to take one of them.
adam crigler
Yes, I agree.
It's very funny.
lydia smith
This looks like Utopia to me.
I don't know what you guys are laughing at.
tim pool
This tweet is Phil That Remains from All That Remains said, I am relieved the Chaz has necessities like Sprite in a bag.
It really, it really, really is funny.
It is.
So they've figured it out.
adam crigler
Some random Sprite of all sodas.
lydia smith
Yeah, like what?
tim pool
You know what, man?
adam crigler
It's like, all right, I don't mind Sprite, I guess.
I haven't had Sprite in a while.
tim pool
They shouldn't be drinking, just drink water.
adam crigler
Water!
That's probably the best for you.
If you're going to be living off the land.
lydia smith
Gardening.
unidentified
I didn't say that with a straight face.
tim pool
In my opinion, I think this is... I am deeply offended by what these people are doing.
unidentified
Oh yeah?
tim pool
No, not really. It's just like, I'm kidding. But they're so obviously...
It's like the cookie analogy I was giving, right?
So in society, you have this cookie dough, and then you have the carpenter. That's a cookie.
The fireman, that's a cookie. And then you have the outer edges that are somewhat useless and
nothing to do with. And so they go here and they just...
lydia smith
This analogy is perfect.
tim pool
Yeah, they're just, what are they doing?
And why are they doing it?
They don't, it's not autonomous.
They're literally bringing in Sprite manufactured at a plant that produces plastic, probably in Mexico or something, bringing it up there and then going like, we're autonomous!
And they're pouring Sprite in baggies.
You know, man, look, I once was talking to a friend who was an activist and thought they were changing the world.
And I said, no, you're only fighting for your community.
And they were like, no, I'm fighting for everyone.
I'm like, you're using a Samsung computer, man.
Do you know about the Foxconn laboratories, people walking off the building?
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
You're not fighting for the world.
You're fighting for yourself.
adam crigler
Boom.
tim pool
These people are peak capitalism.
adam crigler
Totally.
tim pool
This is like in the Hunger Games, Capital City, where they were drinking Ipecac to vomit so they can eat more.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
This is the absolute excess of society that has nothing functional to do.
So they're bored out of their minds.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
So they show up to Seattle, barricaded off, give out bags of Sprite, and they have no idea what farming is other than that farming exists.
unidentified
Yep.
adam crigler
Wait, how come these plants aren't growing?
Maybe we should give them electrolytes.
unidentified
Okay, hold on.
tim pool
I gotta do it.
I gotta drag Kyle Kalinske.
lydia smith
Yes, do it.
tim pool
Now, Kyle's a good dude.
I think he's a good, honest guy.
I disagree with him on probably... I don't really watch his stuff.
But Kyle Kalinske is a progressive commentator who was flying in a plane and looked out the window and saw farms, took a picture, and then tweeted something like, it's so beautiful, I wonder why it looks this way.
And people responded with, like, are you kidding?
adam crigler
You're joking, right?
tim pool
They're farms!
You took a picture of farms!
And he was like, well, I didn't know!
It's like, you didn't know what a farm... Now, to be fair, I think it's okay.
Not everybody should know what a farm is.
But I am kind of shocked that you can be... I don't know how old the guy is.
He's in his 30s.
and not understand that he was looking at farms.
The first time I flew, I think I was like 16 or 17, and I looked down and I went, whoa, so that's what farms look like.
Like, what else do you think they are?
adam crigler
I was like eight when I first flew, and I thought the same thing.
tim pool
Now, hold on, okay?
Now, with all due respect to Kyle, I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but you can consider how he looks at these farms and doesn't understand their farms.
What do you think someone of his political persuasion would do when they're told you need to be autonomous?
They don't know what farms look like.
So, I mean, you go back to what they're doing.
First of all, it's like, what is it, a circular plot of land where they just dump topsoil on top of the grass?
adam crigler
On top of newspapers.
I'm sorry, I'm not letting that go.
That is newspaper underneath the dirt.
tim pool
Now hold on, hold on.
adam crigler
That's preventing the roots from even going through the grass to fight the grass for nutrients.
tim pool
I gotta stop and say, is there something I don't know about farming?
Because I'm not a farmer.
But I am not familiar with the newspaper technique.
lydia smith
It's possible that they think this is part of composting?
Like they expect the paper to break down?
Like they don't realize how long it takes?
tim pool
Maybe it will rain and something?
lydia smith
Yeah, exactly.
adam crigler
That would work in a compost pit, maybe.
lydia smith
Exactly, but it's like the plants, they haven't even taken out the pots.
adam crigler
To put nutrients back into soil to use that soil again.
tim pool
But my other question is like, what is this?
And why did people just show up and just place potted plants on top of the dirt?
adam crigler
That just to me looks like they're, this is where all the plants are going to go.
tim pool
Maybe.
they get started a big that definitely let's check back tomorrow that's about
what's the address this photo might be before the other one well there's a new this one is a redacted on another
adam crigler
picture where there's two circles
over and further look you can even see in the go back you can see in this picture that all your eyes are so far
so right with nothing planted
tim pool
so what it would make what i would hope Hold on, man.
Do they know how long it takes to grow this stuff?
adam crigler
That's what I was saying earlier.
It's like, so you guys are all prepped and ready to eat in three and a half months.
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
Nice job, guys.
adam crigler
Nice job, guys.
tim pool
Well, that's why I think it's funny that Chaz Update said there's half of them are staring at it, expecting it to grow into ripe tomatoes any minute now.
Oh, man.
Well, I got to pull up whatever this tweet is.
What is this one?
Chaz now, Chaz after two weeks, and there's tractors pulling, and then it says Chaz after two months, and there's Raz, the warlord, looking at all of the fine crops of Queek.
adam crigler
Is that Kim Jong-un?
tim pool
I think so.
unidentified
It is!
tim pool
Look at it!
adam crigler
It is!
unidentified
It totally is.
tim pool
Well, good for them.
Good for them, Chaz.
adam crigler
I'm having fun.
tim pool
Yeah.
You know what?
I find the Chaz endearing now.
lydia smith
I kind of do.
tim pool
Not to be fair.
We're all laughing at it, right?
adam crigler
Yeah, I am.
tim pool
Yeah, you won't be laughing in six months when they have, like, this massive field of crops.
lydia smith
Like a jungle of food.
tim pool
And there's, like, 300 armed dudes, well-trained, wearing, like, you know, full SWAT gear, and they're guarding it, and the military can't get in.
adam crigler
But who's doing the work, though?
tim pool
No one's producing anything.
adam crigler
They don't want to work for it.
tim pool
Let me tell you exactly how these things go down, because I've seen them.
adam crigler
Oh, tell me, Tim.
tim pool
They all show up, and they're like, this is an autonomous zone.
And they're like, Rad, what do we do?
Well, we need food.
How do we get it bro, and then he pulls out a bucket and he goes We do jump circles no, he doesn't even suggest it he starts doing it and they're all just in there going like oh The funny thing about Occupy Wall Street was the evolution of the instruments through time.
It was like when Occupy first started, someone was banging on a bucket, then someone else brought a wind instrument, and then brass instruments, and then stringed instruments, and then it slowly evolved into a full band with guitars and people singing.
And I was like, wow, in two weeks they've gone from the, you know, the prehistoric, you know, like caveman music of banging all the way into the advanced, you know, compositional structure of modern times.
lydia smith
It's inspiring to see.
adam crigler
Next I'll have a full orchestra.
tim pool
Oh, here we go.
Check it out.
You were right.
adam crigler
No way.
tim pool
Alright boys, we got a new photo of the Chaz Community Garden.
They actually planted the sprouts, but it's in a very unorganized fashion.
Obviously none of these people have farmed before, but hey, what can you expect?
It's Seattle.
You were right.
It's cardboard.
adam crigler
Oh, that's even worse!
The roots won't go through!
lydia smith
I'm so confused.
tim pool
I gotta stop.
I'm assuming there must be something I don't know about why you put cardboard down before planting something.
adam crigler
And not only that, look, you were right.
They are putting it straight on top of the grass.
So the grass roots are all underneath the cardboard.
unidentified
What is this?
adam crigler
It needs to be able to go down into the ground and expand to gather nutrients.
tim pool
Someone says, see here, this is the point I was making, because I'm not a farmer.
Someone said it's permaculture.
It should work, but they're still doing it horribly wrong.
unidentified
Okay.
lydia smith
All right.
adam crigler
See, there you go.
lydia smith
So they had the idea.
All right.
I can respect it.
tim pool
This is exactly kind of what I was saying, though, that, like, they saw something on TV and they were like, put cardboard down and then dump the dirt on top of it.
Now, but I want to be careful about how we're going through this because I don't know about farming, man.
adam crigler
I bet they got all of their farming tips from 4chan.
lydia smith
That's entirely possible.
I will not rule that out.
adam crigler
And someone in 4chan's like, oh, I got them good.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
lydia smith
Well, it kind of makes sense, because I found layers of burlap or whatever as I'm googling it, because I'm like, there has to be some reason they're doing this.
They don't look totally off the chain.
They just look like they had a seedling of an idea, and they didn't really know how to fall through on it.
adam crigler
Well, I've worked on a farm before, and I've never seen that.
lydia smith
Yeah, that's a little weird.
tim pool
Permaculture?
Both.
adam crigler
My uncle has a huge farm, like 200 acres, and then I've worked with permaculture people up in New York.
tim pool
You've never seen them lay cardboard on top of grass and then dump soil on it?
unidentified
No.
lydia smith
Yeah, it's a little weird.
adam crigler
That's what causes me to giggle.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
That's what it is.
lydia smith
That's amazing.
adam crigler
No, I've never seen that.
No.
It's ridiculous.
tim pool
So someone on the super chat says, how are they going to weed their farm?
How are they going to make sure the plants get water evenly?
Jesus H. Christ, no, just no.
Nothing of what the Chaz is doing makes sense.
Coming from someone who grows plants.
adam crigler
Oh, there's a super chat.
tim pool
Yeah, I'm just looking at what people are saying because I'm like, listen man, listen.
Imagine how stupid we would look if we're sitting here like Tweedledee and Tweedledum laughing at how dumb they are.
And it's actually a real technique because I don't know.
I don't farm.
adam crigler
So technically, I've been around farmers.
lydia smith
Yeah, Adam knows.
But I'm reading this just now.
This might be relatively new, which might be why you haven't seen anything like this.
But they're talking about how cardboard is a good way to keep grass and weeds from growing through.
So maybe they are brilliant and we're behind.
adam crigler
That's for front lawns with flowers and stuff.
You prevent weeds from going through.
lydia smith
This is not to scale, for sure.
adam crigler
But you can't just put a four-inch layer of dirt on top of that.
tim pool
Sure, why not?
adam crigler
Plants need to grow.
They need roots.
tim pool
I don't know, man.
adam crigler
Root systems are important.
tim pool
So we have some misinformation updates we've got to go through here.
ChazUpdate says, uh, document, this person tweeted, documenting misinformation.
Chaz is out of food, supplies have been stolen by homeless, warlords running the community,
people have given up and it's shut down. Food is plentiful, plentiful, the atmosphere is friendly,
still holding up, pictures below taken same day as post. So here's what someone, I saw this post
and I didn't believe it was real. They said the Seattle Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone LARP is over.
The kids couldn't go for one day without food, so they left.
True radical purveyors of a revolutionary change, no doubt.
The next photo we see... No, it's still all there.
And this flies in the face of CNN.
I like that.
trying to claim that like none of this is going on.
Here's people like playing music hanging out and and there you go.
So Chaz Update says this is correct.
Chaz still does have food.
They've ordered pizzas and everything.
They're not out of food or anything and most likely won't be for a while.
It's still holding up quite well despite the idiots.
I don't know who Chaz Updates is, but they're having a good time making fun of
everybody. Definitely.
And I appreciate it.
Here we go.
The cow will not produce milk until her demands are met.
Concerns.
Barricade safety.
Trash.
Medical deliveries.
First responder access.
Guns.
Check.
lydia smith
Guns?
tim pool
Anime for the cow.
lydia smith
I'm very confused.
tim pool
Well, I wish that she has.
Oh, here we go.
What's this?
Seattle PD and Chief Carmen Best have entered the East Precinct to inspect the building.
Officers have made it clear they want the building back.
Uh-oh.
What's gonna happen?
Bags of Sprite will be given out, and will the... What is this?
Alright, I don't know what else is going on, but...
We'll keep an eye out for what's happening over in the Chaz, and the Chaz updates... It looks like they're having fun.
What is this?
Update account for the wacky-esk that is happening at Capitol Hill, autonomous-owned Chaz, and this guy's firing laser beams from his eyes.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So they're gonna farm.
adam crigler
Ridiculous.
tim pool
They're gonna become autonomous, though they still require the dominoes to bring their food.
adam crigler
How many people are there, do you know?
tim pool
According to the Wikipedia for the independent government of Chaz, 200.
unidentified
200!
tim pool
But they do have 500, I believe there are 500 residencies within the area they control.
adam crigler
Wow, alright, so those little circles?
lydia smith
Not enough food.
adam crigler
That's enough.
That's enough food for maybe... Two people?
tim pool
Half a person?
adam crigler
Well, sure.
For, like, I mean, it looks like, because you got to harvest it and, well, wait for it to become harvestable.
tim pool
Yeah, they're LARPing.
adam crigler
Then harvest it.
tim pool
It's a game.
They're playing cop.
adam crigler
Everyone gets a slice of tomato.
tim pool
They're playing a game of Rebels and Revolutionaries.
adam crigler
And one soybean.
tim pool
Yes.
They're playing rebels and revolutionaries in their backyard, and they're pretending to farm.
They saw something on the internet, they laid out cardboard, dumped soil on top of it, and then they placed potted plants on top of the soil.
Alright.
I guess some people are saying it's bad, some people are saying the general idea is there.
unidentified
Cardboard is to stop the grass to get dirty.
tim pool
Maybe they're doing it because they expect to move it all after the fact and want the grass to stay there.
You know?
adam crigler
No, the grass will get killed.
tim pool
Yeah, but how long?
Probably I mean after a few weeks if they're gonna be there for a day and they know it So they're there to play, you know rebels and revolutionaries with their friends and they and they don't want to hurt the park So they've laid the stuff out so they can move it later.
That's very nice of them They're playing a game and they're gonna and they're ordering pizzas basically like, you know, like we're saying the other day like mom Can we get pizza with like extra pepperoni?
No, don't get pepperoni because people are vegan Oh, can we get it with with the peppers and the mushrooms, but but don't do cheese because Billy's vegan And then she's like, OK, OK, I'll go get your pizza for you.
I mean, really think about what it is.
They come and play music.
They talk.
They do like, you know, hippie dancing and stuff.
People are planting, you know, potted plants that aren't going to produce the look on your face.
lydia smith
The hippie dancing was to die for.
I would like you to do some more hippie dancing.
tim pool
I'm sorry.
adam crigler
I wish everyone could have seen the look on your face.
tim pool
So look, they want to have a farm with food, right?
adam crigler
Yeah, a farm.
tim pool
Those are little circles.
Yeah, I mean, it's a higher field.
It's backbreaking.
you feed everyone in their community.
unidentified
That's backbreaking.
tim pool
You're absolutely right.
The funny thing about it is none of these people understand at all how much labor goes
into producing enough food for one person.
adam crigler
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
And that's why when they fly over these fields and they can see just like as far as the eye
can see farms, they're like, I wonder what those things are.
Because they assume, like, you plant one thing in the garden and then you have food for a year.
It's like, let's just put 50 plants in the dirt and we'll feed 200 people.
No, they clearly don't want to feed people.
They're not trying to feed people.
They're just LARPing.
lydia smith
It is peak capitalism that they have no idea.
tim pool
It is the edges of the cookie dough you can't use.
lydia smith
Right.
They don't even have to work.
That's how peak capitalism it is.
tim pool
When you take a cookie cutter and you cut out that nice perfect circle, that full circle is one job.
Outside of it is just tidbits.
They can't do anything.
I mean, it's there.
You just eat the dough, I guess.
lydia smith
Yeah, you do.
tim pool
They can't do anything for anybody.
So they go and play make-believe because they're bored.
adam crigler
Yep.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
Well, I wish Chaz the best, and I have to say, I find it all very endearing and kind of cute.
It's like a bunch of little kids playing a game of cops and robbers, man.
lydia smith
It is kind of.
tim pool
And we're laughing and having a good time at the absurdity of what it is they think they're doing.
lydia smith
They're not shooting anyone.
tim pool
But it's the people who think they're actual revolutionaries walking around with guns, and they're like, yeah.
And then you're just like, isn't that cute?
lydia smith
You're like, whatever.
tim pool
I'll tell you what, man.
adam crigler
Someone's telling me to look up Operation Homeless on 4chan.
I don't know what it is.
tim pool
Oh gosh, I'm scared.
adam crigler
I really want to see what it is though.
tim pool
Have you seen the photos of the John Brown Gun Club guys?
adam crigler
No.
What we've seen on our show, like yesterday you showed a couple things.
tim pool
They're standing at the barricades and they've got rifles.
What are you going to do?
adam crigler
I don't know.
tim pool
What's going to happen?
Your proud boy shows up and walks in.
What are you going to do?
unidentified
You shoot him?
tim pool
Cop shows up.
He's got a gun.
He says, move.
What are you going to do?
You're going to move.
unidentified
Yep.
Agreed.
tim pool
It's completely useless.
They're just LARPing.
They're having their moment where they get to pretend to be Fidel Castro or, you know, whatever, staging the revolution of the streets.
People are going to come in, and it's going to be a bunch of ineffective hippie dancing, and their demands make literally no sense.
One of their demands is black doctors for black people.
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
That's great.
unidentified
What?
lydia smith
Like, what?
unidentified
Why?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
One of their demands is that in the healthcare system, if a black person goes to the hospital, there's a black doctor who will treat them.
adam crigler
Do they want to be segregated?
Is that what they're looking for?
tim pool
Yes, they do.
Yes.
Now, I don't know if all of them do, but during Ferguson, I believe it was Ferguson, there was a letter written that said that to the activists, segregation was a plot by white supremacists to force them to be second class citizens.
I'm not exaggerating.
This is literally what they argued, some activists.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
The argument was, during segregation, they built up their own Wall Street in Tulsa, I guess it was called, and it was firebombed and destroyed by white supremacists, or something like that.
They actually had their own parallel economy growing, building their own homes and families and everything.
It got destroyed.
Segregation ends, and they argue that that was the plan by the white supremacists, so that these people would be kept in perpetual poverty and never rise above white people.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
That's what some of the Black Lives Matter activists believe.
That's interesting.
I'm not going to pretend like it's everybody, but that was one of the things that was being
circulated when I was down there.
But I mean, think about where we've gone since then.
To entertain that argument, under the Democrats, things haven't been going well for the Black
lydia smith
To put it mildly.
tim pool
And I'm not going to pretend and play this game where it's like, they're the real racists.
No, no, no.
You can believe whatever you want to believe about the Democrats.
But come on, let's take a look at these cities.
These cities in these states that are overwhelmingly blue, that have all of the problems they complain about.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
And I don't mean things in the black community.
I mean things in social justice activists.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Which includes, you know, Black Lives Matter and, you know, just general social justice critical race theory.
All of these lefties are like, police brutality is a huge problem.
Right, in cities.
adam crigler
In blue cities.
tim pool
In big cities, right?
Agreed.
Agreed.
Yeah, okay, sure.
Not in small-town Bumpkinville, where Officer Friendly knows your dad, you know?
It's in the big cities.
And you could argue that maybe that has to do with, like, we've argued about community policing, like, the cops don't know anybody.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But that doesn't explain other places, like, we talked about this too, Tokyo, where they have bigger cities and they don't have the same problems.
So perhaps that argument they made about segregation isn't necessarily wrong.
And that Michael Bloomberg, for instance, who ran as a Democrat recently, is overtly racist and even said so proudly on a recording where he's like, yep, I do this specifically because, you know, and targeting them based on their race.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So listen, man, I'm not going to pretend to know all throughout history whatever all the conspiracies and plans were, but there are certainly some people who feel that the Democrats' plan the whole time was to keep them subjugated through these horrible policies, put them in cities, and then have police go around beating the crap out of people.
I don't think it's true.
I'm just saying that's one of the reasons they probably believe that's the case.
I certainly think segregation is a horrible, horrible thing.
And I, you know, I like the idea of us all being Americans.
adam crigler
Me too.
tim pool
And just hanging out with people we want to hang out with and being buddies with people of all different races.
And that's what it was like for me growing up on the south side of Chicago.
adam crigler
Hear, hear.
tim pool
Yeah.
Well, now you're actually hearing from people who want segregation.
Like they want graduation ceremonies for only one race.
You know, things like that.
adam crigler
I don't get that at all.
Yeah.
It's going backwards.
Exactly.
tim pool
It's, it's, it's identitarianism, man.
It's, it's, you know, there was a, there was a really funny thing.
I think, uh, I think it was Sargon who said this.
Sargon of Akkad.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Carl Benjamin.
He was like, the SJWs in the alt-right want the exact same things.
Why don't they work together?
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
Interesting point.
tim pool
Yeah, it's like they disagree on what should be on top of things, but they agree on the separation or whatever, then let them do it.
Like, congratulations!
You know, go do your thing.
adam crigler
We gotta judge people on their character.
lydia smith
Yeah, there's no other way.
tim pool
Right, exactly!
adam crigler
Color of skin is irrelevant.
Yeah, it isn't.
And sure, there's problems with our society, but let's fix the society.
Let's tweak what needs to be tweaked.
tim pool
We are a country of reform.
adam crigler
But let's stay together.
lydia smith
Right.
adam crigler
Otherwise we're going to be fighting each other.
tim pool
I think that's going to happen.
I think it's inevitable.
adam crigler
Fighting each other?
tim pool
In some form or another.
You know, the way I see it is the dominoes have already fallen over.
You know, and the avalanche has already started.
There's no way to stop it at this point.
It's going down the hill.
And I look at generals coming out and opposing Trump, and I see them hedging their bets.
They're literally in the... Matt Taibbi wrote this last October,
that, uh...
we were in the counting heads phase, who's loyal to who.
And so now the generals are saying not to Trump. They're going to call him out. That way, if
something happens and Trump gets disavowed or something like that, or, you know, they don't want to be
seen as Trump loyalists. So then they're like, oh, no, we, we, we, we spoke out against them. I
think when you have all of this media, I think this is what a lot, what the Democrats may be
hoping for to scare people into thinking no one supports them and they're on the wrong side of
history. So they panic and just capitulate.
But I wonder if because of the secret ballot it won't be enough.
But maybe that's why they want mail-in voting.
This is the funniest thing, man.
I'll tell you.
A lot of these high-level journalists, I believe, are authoritarian, evil people.
It's shocking to me when, in New Jersey, you have this crazy story where a head of the NAACP says cancel the entire election because mail-in voting failed and 20% of the vote was disqualified.
And then you look at Washington Post, New York Times, and they're like, there's no evidence of voter fraud.
adam crigler
100,000 vote, like, mail-in votes just get found or something?
unidentified
Yep.
What was that?
lydia smith
They got misplaced.
adam crigler
Where was that?
lydia smith
Remember where that's from?
I forget where it was, but they got, like, missent or mislabeled.
adam crigler
Right.
lydia smith
Or people never received them, and it was like... A.K.A.
adam crigler
they didn't count.
They didn't count those votes.
lydia smith
Yeah.
unidentified
Exactly.
adam crigler
And you want to do this?
You want to mail-in vote?
lydia smith
No!
100,000 votes?
Yeah.
tim pool
I think if we want to do mail-in voting, we have to have a very secure system developed over a long period of time, tested and tried out, and after the election, not before.
adam crigler
Weren't they just trying to defund the USPS?
The United States Postal Service?
tim pool
Well, that was Republicans.
adam crigler
Oh, the Republicans wanted to do it?
tim pool
The Democrats were trying to bolster it.
adam crigler
Ah, okay.
tim pool
And the argument from the Democrats was that if the Republicans defund the Postal Service, we can't have mail-in voting.
adam crigler
Of course, that's why they want to keep it.
tim pool
Look, I'll tell you this, man.
I don't trust Republicans.
I don't trust the Democrats.
I think both sides are trying to bend the rules to benefit them to make sure they win because they think they're the right ones to win.
adam crigler
That's always the problem.
tim pool
With that being said, I think the Democrats are completely insane.
Just 100% totally insane.
You look at CNN, right?
And this is a contributing factor to why I feel this way.
Oliver Darcy says that, you know, if you watch right-wing media, armed Antifa militants have seized a portion of Seattle.
I mean, it's kind of an extreme way to put it, but it's not necessarily untrue.
I mean, John Brown Gun Club is there running a checkpoint for an area they deemed autonomous, and there's photos of it.
We know it exists.
He then says, the mayor says they have no interactions with these people, as if that disqualifies the first point he made.
It doesn't.
Just because the mayor never talked to any of these people doesn't mean it's not happening.
So when I look at how CNN is lying all day, every single day, I don't trust anything they put out.
Then I see what the Democrats are doing and I'm like, they're insane people who just want power.
But there are people who think they're the good guys and they hate Trump.
I'll tell you what, CNN's lying to you.
They're lying 100%.
It's crazy that I can literally tell you, make sure you watch CNN to know what they're saying.
Don't just watch me, watch CNN, watch Fox, watch conservatives and progressives and absorb as much information as possible.
And then they tell me that I'm lying to people and tricking them.
adam crigler
Compare and contrast.
tim pool
CNN literally says, don't watch the spin, just come to us for the facts.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
So this is what I tell people.
The easiest way to know whether or not you are in a cult is if you are forbidden from learning.
Period.
adam crigler
Boom.
tim pool
Any legitimate, free-thinking organization who's on the right side will tell you, learn everything you can.
adam crigler
Absolutely.
Do research.
Do the research.
tim pool
I'm talking to this person I know and I'm like, they're like, I only watch, you know, NPR and this news.
And I'm like, yeah, you're in a cult.
No, I'm not.
I know the truth.
You just believe crazy things.
And I said to them, the best way to know if you're in a cult is if you refuse to learn.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
If you say, I know, I don't need to learn.
Congratulations, you're in a cult.
adam crigler
I don't need to read what you're saying to me or what that article says because what I believe is true.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
Because this person told me.
lydia smith
Sounds pretty religious.
tim pool
So that's the best I can say.
You know, how do you know you're on the right side?
You're open to all sides of information and you're trying your best to understand how people feel.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
And when you do that... Empathy.
Yeah, yeah.
But also, just, you want to know the truth.
You can't assume you know.
Like, so, you know, what's the saying about, you know, stupid people are confident, smart people are so full of doubt?
That's really what it is.
So when I read something, I'm like, is this true?
And so I'll check different sources.
Now you're looking at the New York Times and they're claiming that, it's funny, the New York Times claims all of this is happening.
They're calling it free speech and free movement and it's a liberated space.
CNN's telling you it's literally not happening at all.
lydia smith
Interesting.
Which is true.
Is it great or is it not happening?
tim pool
Do I ignore the photos of people doing it?
There's videos of this.
adam crigler
They're live streaming.
unidentified
They're walking around the whole place live streaming.
tim pool
Well, we've got to do one more quick segment before we jump over to the Super Chats.
adam crigler
It doesn't have to be that quick.
lydia smith
We can do it.
adam crigler
I'm just a little excited about it.
So we're going to be talking about the new PS5.
I don't know who saw the... So PlayStation actually pushed this back.
This was supposed to happen two weeks, or like, I don't know, when did the riots start?
Like May 4th?
tim pool
May 27th or something.
Or when it started, yeah, the beginning.
The 27th, I believe.
adam crigler
So the 27th.
So they were supposed to have this and they pushed it back and they're like, you know what, we got to wait.
And today was finally the reveal.
2 million people live, they were hosting it live.
There was a 2 million people peak and it was awesome.
So check us out here.
tim pool
We got 2 million concurrent.
adam crigler
2 million concurrent people were there watching this.
lydia smith
I want 2 million concurrent.
tim pool
The PlayStation 5.
adam crigler
So here we go.
tim pool
Here's the first few things we gotta get to for those that are just tuning in.
adam crigler
What's that?
tim pool
Well, the weird game controversy.
Oh, yeah.
But there's a bunch of games.
We're going to look at some of the games that are coming out, because some look awesome, like Horizon Zero Dawn Part 2.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And Spider-Man.
adam crigler
And some people... Demon's Souls Remastered.
Actually, I don't know if it's a remake or a remaster.
They're not really specific on that.
But they're saying there's some new things that they're adding, so I don't know if it's an actual remaster.
It might be a remake, which I'm actually really for.
If they remaster it with some tweaks, that sounds the best.
tim pool
Alright, well what's going on with this here PS5, man?
adam crigler
So you can see here, this is the new PS5 console with the new controller.
And you can actually lay it on its side.
It doesn't look like you can, but I think it's sitting on a stand here.
But I've seen it sideways, so you can actually lay it down on its side.
Everyone's I mean people are making up all sorts of random memes now with this.
tim pool
Somebody said it looks like a Wi-Fi router.
adam crigler
Yeah Yeah, but it's you know, it's an electronic device.
So they're all kind of similar, you know in the long run I don't know.
I like it.
tim pool
What's good about it?
Apparently it's got like new tech or something.
adam crigler
So it's got an amazing SSD drive that's supposedly better than anything that's out there.
And it's a hundred times faster than the PS4.
Oh cool.
That's insane.
There's no loading times.
tim pool
None.
And it's disk driven?
adam crigler
No.
SSD is solid state.
tim pool
Isn't there a disk drive on it right there?
adam crigler
That's for the Blu-rays slash PS4 games.
You can still play PS4 games.
tim pool
But everything's gonna be digital.
adam crigler
And actually, it comes with a digital version that doesn't have a slot.
So you can get it without the slot.
It'll probably be like a hundred bucks cheaper if I were to guess.
Because they'll include the Blu-ray player.
But we don't know the prices.
There's lots of guesstimating.
Everyone's going, oh $500 to $700.
That's kind of like the... I had a tweet and that's pretty much the consensus.
Somewhere between... I wouldn't be surprised if it was $599.
That sounds about right to me.
tim pool
Seems high though.
adam crigler
Yeah, I mean, it's it's the next-gen.
It's uh It is it does seem high but people are gonna pay for it.
They're gonna want it.
They they want it I mean two million people were or eagerly Eagerly watching this.
Yeah, so let's uh, let's we've got the take a look at the games.
Here we go.
So we got all this is the PlayStation YouTube page and it basically just has all the trailers split into individuals so we can we can see all the games and And the one I'm most excited is absolutely the Demon's Souls game.
That looks incredible.
Really excited about that.
Horizon Forbidden West looks really dope.
That's the Horizon Zero Dawn sequel.
NBA 2K1 looks really good.
I don't play basketball games, but a buddy of mine does, so I'm always interested in anything friends of mine play.
tim pool
Some of these look pretty cool.
I need to watch these, though.
I haven't seen all of them.
adam crigler
That one right there.
Alright, so Grand Theft Auto V.
tim pool
They're redoing Grand Theft Auto.
adam crigler
They're not making Grand Theft Auto 6.
They're just enhancing Grand Theft Auto 5.
tim pool
That's why it's all thumbs down.
Look at that.
Like to dislike ratio.
adam crigler
Oh wow, yeah, look at that.
tim pool
Remember when Rockstar used to make games?
adam crigler
Man, Rockstar has been milking that game for way too long.
tim pool
Rockstar, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
adam crigler
This is a message for you.
Stop milking that game.
Give Red Dead Redemption 2 some more love.
Make GTA 6 like everybody wants.
Please.
tim pool
No, listen, man.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
They're making fat cash off that game.
Why stop now?
adam crigler
I mean, in their defense, they have consistently brought new stuff into GTA 5 non-stop throughout the past six years, seven years.
When did that game come out?
I don't know.
Eight years ago now?
unidentified
I don't know.
adam crigler
It's been out for a long time and they just dropped some new stuff last year.
So constantly they're adding new stuff.
It's pretty cool.
tim pool
What's this thing about like some SJW game?
I don't even see it.
Where is it?
adam crigler
Here, go up.
Let me see it.
I don't know if it's SJW.
I don't know what exactly it is.
tim pool
Oh, here we go.
Volcano High.
adam crigler
It looks like some emo... Whoa!
tim pool
This thing's getting nuked hard!
adam crigler
It looks like emo furry land.
lydia smith
Oh no.
adam crigler
Yeah.
unidentified
Can we watch it?
lydia smith
Are we going to get in trouble?
tim pool
Well, yeah, we probably can't play the whole thing, but I'll just show, like... It looks pretty bad.
adam crigler
It looks like a bunch of sad furries crying about life.
tim pool
It looks like somebody took Tumblr avatars and made it into a cartoon.
adam crigler
They burned their yearbook.
Goodbye, Volcano High.
They burned the book.
I mean... Look, there's some deep-in-thought emo looks.
tim pool
This really does look like Tumblr, you know, like, coming to life.
adam crigler
You know, one thing I'm a little annoyed at... People, go back a page.
Yeah, so there's a new Spider-Man.
And it looks really cool.
It looks awesome.
Everyone loved Spider-Man when it came out for PS4.
And now there's Miles Morales.
Oh, excuse me.
Miles Morales.
tim pool
Oh, there we go.
adam crigler
And it looks dope, this game.
tim pool
Everybody likes this.
Look at this.
This is totally thumbs up.
adam crigler
Oh, that's great.
That's great.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Well, I mean I was I was reading on Twitter I'm you know, so I I'm looking through and there's some people out there and it's not just about this It's you know, I'm gonna bring other games into my point here, but they're they're upset because it's not Peter Parker It's not spider-man and I'm like, yeah, but did you see into the spider-verse that movie was awesome.
It's good movie for one It was a great spider-man movie and it makes sense His character, it's not like they're just shoving, you know, a minority in someone else's shoes No, I think it's if they're gonna do it.
This is kind of the best way that they did it.
It's cool It's a multiverse.
It makes sense.
He has a spider his own storyline of how he became spider-man.
tim pool
I like it I dig it They already had a Spider-Verse a long time ago.
I don't know when the original comic or whatever came out.
But I remember when I was growing up watching the Spider-Man show, they had the Spider-Verse.
So sure, sure, you can make a bunch of different Spider-Man type characters.
But I do think it is extremely lazy when they do hand-me-down characters.
adam crigler
Well, that's kind of what's happening with Ratchet and Clank.
So there's a new Ratchet and Clank game.
This actually looks really smooth.
The gameplay looks really pretty.
And then at the very end, they warp to a new plane and Ratchet becomes a girl.
unidentified
Wait, what?
adam crigler
Yeah.
So it's like, wait a minute.
Is it Ratchet or is it this... Rachetta?
I don't know.
It's right at the very end.
Seriously, right at the end.
He lands.
I'm just going to play this one scene.
Boom.
Huh?
unidentified
Who?
tim pool
So it's not Ratchet?
adam crigler
Wait, is it Ratchet or is it not?
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool
I never played Ratchet.
adam crigler
But this is what people are complaining about.
They're like, why wouldn't you just do something new?
Why are you gonna try to shove and replace?
tim pool
Are they replacing though or are they adding a new character?
adam crigler
I have no idea.
People love to jump to conclusions all the time.
tim pool
This one also got a thumbs up.
adam crigler
Well, Ratchet and Clank.
People love it.
And honestly, this game looked so... This is not my type of game.
It's very colorful also.
It looks really fun.
I was like, oh man, maybe I'll play this game.
It does.
It looked really smooth.
It felt like a next-gen game.
tim pool
What do you think is going to happen with Last of Us 2?
adam crigler
Honestly, I don't even think about that game.
A lot of people are like, yeah, why did they even need a second one?
The first one came to a conclusion.
It was a great story.
What is the second one even about?
Then they're censoring people that are leaking stuff.
tim pool
DMCA takedowns on people who are talking about it even.
Yeah, and it's like... I'm hearing, like, the game's gone, like, SJW or something.
Honestly, I don't follow a lot of these criticisms of these games.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
I'm not gonna play it anyway.
My thing is all, like, that volcano high thing where it looks like Tumblr.
unidentified
Oh, gosh.
adam crigler
It looks so bad.
tim pool
It does.
It looks really bad, and everybody seems to hate it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But I don't care.
I'm just not gonna buy it.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
So, you know, that's what I say.
It's like, listen, man.
Let them do their skin suit thing, where they take the withered husk of what used to be, and then they drape it over their bodies and prop it up, and let them prop it up.
I don't know, I'm gonna ignore it, and it's not gonna get money from me.
I guess there is the problem, though, that when it comes to these SJW-type takeovers of intellectual property or institutions, they get money from external sources, and sometimes through force, like through taxpayer funds.
That's when it gets scary.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Propping up things that can't succeed, that everyone hates, by forcing them to pay for it.
I'm not gonna be a fan of that.
But I don't know, have you noticed any other interesting games?
adam crigler
Well, Resident Evil 8 is coming out.
It looks beautiful.
That's a good franchise.
Yeah, the earlier Resident Evil games always annoyed me because of the camera angle force.
You know, you don't control the camera angle.
It's a static shot.
That always bugged me, so I just never could get into Resident Evil games.
tim pool
Apparently Bugsnax is really bad.
adam crigler
Oh, that looks terrible.
tim pool
They gotta make games for kids though, man.
Come on.
adam crigler
Yeah sure but it's when you when we're waiting for this we've been they've been toying with us ps5 reveal these epic new games amazing graphics and you see this just click to any any screenshot dude the graphics look like 1999 cgi kids programming yes it Exactly, Tim.
tim pool
This is the PS5?
I'm supposed to pay for this?
adam crigler
Yeah, so when I saw this, I was like, what is this?
It started with this strawberry with googly eyes, popping out of the ground, and then it gets eaten by that walrus bear?
I don't know what that thing was.
tim pool
Hamburger?
Is that a sub-sandwich?
adam crigler
It looks like a sub-sandwich snake.
I don't know.
tim pool
Now, I will say, the CGI looks really, really bad, but somehow still kind of good.
adam crigler
That's because of the lighting.
tim pool
Exactly.
adam crigler
The lighting makes everything.
tim pool
The lighting is good, and everything else is just awful.
unidentified
Wow, yeah.
adam crigler
Exactly.
It looks like someone built it on Unity and was like, oh man, we could just add these new lighting effects and it'll be great.
And it's like, yeah, but that's not what we want.
We've had these games for a long time.
I want something really clean and new to make it look like I'm looking into a world that I can
believe. I don't get that here. I mean, yes, sure, it's for kids, right? It's a good point.
A kid's going to be like, this is great.
I'm a walrus eating strawberries!
tim pool
You know that game where you play a little guy and you can press L and R and his arms go up and then he jumps and you can climb things and the controls are all kind of wacky?
adam crigler
What's that game called?
lydia smith
Is that Lode Runner?
tim pool
No, it's a 3D game.
It's a lot of fun.
I'm sure everybody knows what it is.
You start with a character that's just like a white model and you can add beanies and shirts and hats and stuff.
And then, the reason I bring that game up, and I'm sure I'm going to see it in the chat pop up in two seconds, is because the graphics are trash.
It's a really, really fun game.
So you can play online multiplayer, and when you press right or left, his arms go up, and then you can touch the walls and he grips.
But you can also grab other people and then drag them, and then they try and grab and stop you.
I love playing that game because there's always little kids screeching.
adam crigler
Look at this game, though.
This is the new LittleBigPlanet.
It's basically LittleBigPlanet 4.
This is for kids also.
You can't even see how good the graphics looked because this is like through a screen, through a screen, through a screen now.
But this is what I'm talking about.
so this is not this game the graphics are amazing i'm gonna display a little
clip you can see how good the graphics looked because this is like through a screen through a screen through a
screen now but this is what i'm talking about this is a good game
this looks it's it's kinda like uh... cuz little big planet was a side scrolling game
with a little bit of depth But now it's like full 3D environment.
unidentified
That's cool.
adam crigler
It's dope.
It's like this is the evolution that we were expecting to see for a kid's game.
Not that other stuff that looked like somebody's first development project.
Like, oh cool, you made a game.
You should have released it on Steam first and then built your way up to PS5.
The PS5 reveal.
Some of these games are, man, really disappointing.
tim pool
I was expecting PS5 to be like, you're looking through a window when you play the game.
adam crigler
Like, Gran Turismo 7 looked amazing.
That is exactly what you'd expect.
Like, looking through the window, you're like, wow, I feel like I'm driving this car.
And they showed, like, a lap around a race.
And it looked dope!
tim pool
It looked so clean!
That Volcano High, I guarantee, they were thinking about their release games and how they were going to maximize sales.
Mm-hmm.
There are so many games... We gotta catch these emo teenagers.
Yes, yes.
They're like, what about the, you know, 14-year-old Tumblr market?
No, for real.
Because you think about the animations of that game and it looks really, really bad.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Like, it just does not look good.
And then you look at the AAA top-tier games like, you know, Horizon or whatever.
adam crigler
Mm-hmm.
tim pool
And you can tell they're targeting as many demographics as possible with launch.
I can respect that.
But I can see why people don't like that because that game should not be on the PS5.
That game could have been on the PS1.
adam crigler
You actually had to type in your birthday and be 18 years old or older to watch this.
What?
When you entered it in, like I went to PlayStation, they're like, whoa, whoa, are you of age to watch this video?
And I'm like, What's going to go on in here?
What the heck?
So I did my fake birthday.
unidentified
Right.
adam crigler
Just because I never do my real- I'm 120 years old!
unidentified
Yes!
adam crigler
Well, no, I actually do my correct year, but all- Everything else is different.
It's a different birthday every time I put it in.
But I was like, oh, that's weird.
Like, why would they do that?
Oh, it must be because they're going to be showing these epic, awesome games.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
Because when I think PlayStation 5, I don't think like an eight-year-old is going to be like, I want the new PlayStation 5.
I don't know.
It doesn't feel like, you know, I think Nintendo when I think little kids, you know?
But, I mean, I'm not a pro at gaming, so like, sure, these are just my opinions, but when I watch that... When's it coming out?
This fall.
Yeah, should be before Christmas.
Although they did make an announcement that there's going to be less PS5s on release than PS4s they had on release because of COVID.
So they just couldn't make as many.
So it's going to sell out like that.
tim pool
Are they doing pre-orders already?
adam crigler
I haven't seen it.
Supposedly in the UK some people were able to pre-order it on Amazon.
Which is odd.
And it went for 599 pounds, which is about 700 bucks.
tim pool
Ooh, interesting.
adam crigler
So, we'll see.
tim pool
We will see how it plays out.
But for now, how about some Super Chats?
adam crigler
Yeah!
So make sure you smash that like button!
unidentified
Smash it!
tim pool
We are now going to read the things you have paid for us to say.
Not all of them, but to the best of our abilities.
And that means, before we get started, make sure you follow me on Instagram and Twitter at Timcast to see me complain about stuff and post pictures of cats and skateboarding.
You can follow at AdamKrigler on Twitter and Instagram, but on Twitter you can send him story ideas.
adam crigler
Yes.
tim pool
Where he posts a thread and then you can, and we use them for the show very often.
adam crigler
And actually I saw a couple people chatting about spintheufo at gmail.com.
You created that yesterday, right?
lydia smith
I did, yeah.
And people have been sending me their ideas.
It's basically what they do with me on Twitter.
So they'll send me everything that crosses their mind, which is great.
I like to read it and I'm trying to read all of it.
It's just a lot.
adam crigler
At gmail.com.
tim pool
And also you can follow at sourpatchlids on Twitter.
lydia smith
You can, yes.
tim pool
L-Y-D-S.
And send her stuff as well.
But how about you guys?
Here's what we're going to do.
I'll go over to the Super Chats.
You guys just smash that like button while I start reading.
adam crigler
Smash!
tim pool
And subscribe.
And hit the like button.
Chris Pavotto says, great work every day you three.
Got an idea.
Since Trump is labeled as the face slash tweet of everything wrong in America to the left, okay, let Biden win.
As a concession, the right gets the House and the Senate.
kitty demure
Good trade-off?
tim pool
Thoughts?
I don't know.
If people are going to vote Republican en masse, I think it's going to be one or the other.
I think you're either going to see Democrats sweep or Republicans sweep.
That's why I can't imagine the Democrats winning.
I really just don't see it.
Grim Soul Banisher says, never apologize.
Never Benvenie.
I am an American at heart and our rights come before anything else.
I won't let these authoritarians win.
I agree.
Fake Lauren Southern says, Tim I will grant you my first post-retirement interview on one condition.
We must talk about my farts.
That is indeed not Lauren Southern.
lydia smith
I wonder who that could be.
tim pool
Yes.
And then Brittany Fartybone says, I would also like an interview about my farts.
Taylan Hayabusa says, have you considered the reason we are in the situation we are right now is due to natural selection no longer affecting humans?
I wonder if that aligns kind of with my cookie dough analogy, where it's like, all you have left are the bits, the sad bits.
You know what's a better example, I guess?
The chicken nugget analogy.
Once you get all the good parts of the chicken off, the wings and the thighs and the breasts and everything, and you send them over to Buffalo Wild Wings and like Walmart or whatever, what do you have left?
Bone bits and cartilage.
Nuggets.
And you can't do anything with it, so it's kind of there, but you're like, yeah, so you put it in the grinder.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
Make pink goo.
lydia smith
Comes out pink.
tim pool
And then the little thing forms into the shape of dinosaurs.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
And then they deep fry them.
lydia smith
And then they're awesome.
tim pool
Freeze them, send them out, and that's how you get dinosaur nuggets.
adam crigler
Gross.
lydia smith
It's a beautiful thing.
tim pool
That's a better analogy.
adam crigler
No thanks.
tim pool
It's just so hilarious watching the thing about the garden, man.
Yeah, it is.
sorry excuse of a garden that I can sense the whole commune can be a subject of a future
internet historian video.
It's just so hilarious watching the thing about the garden, man.
adam crigler
Yeah, it is.
tim pool
King Canuck says, Tim, did you see the Fence Korean shirt?
Absolutely hilarious.
Now because nobody can read this anymore but you, pretend the rest of this is horrendously
offensive and no, too late.
Mojo says, Ref, Starbucks BLM ban story.
Proof that Tim Cass is fake news, as there is no way that is true.
Sarcasm.
Yeah, apparently according to The Hill, Black Lives Matter, uh, Starbucks said Black Lives Matter, like, attire is not allowed.
Yeah, you can't do anything to support it.
Cole Erdman says, Tim, you say you think Trump will win in November, but a lot of people have said they won't vote because he is doing nothing.
Thoughts?
Also, just started watching the pods.
Keep it to great content.
I agree with that.
I do.
I think he's going to win simply because, you know, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
unidentified
Okay.
2016.
tim pool
The media was like, Trump will never win.
He's a loser.
The polls are against him.
Everyone hates him.
And then he won.
So they're doing the same thing now.
I have no reason to believe him.
But maybe I've seen a lot of people, even Trump supporters, complain Trump
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
hasn't done anything like he's the Republicans had all three branches of
government in the first couple of years.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And well, I don't, maybe they didn't have a, I'm pretty sure they maybe
they didn't have the Supreme court, but they had the house and the Senate.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And then they lose the house and it's like, now they're acting like they're
fighting against the Democrats.
Like, what are you talking about?
You had the House.
adam crigler
What does that have to do with Trump, though?
Isn't that the House versus the Senate?
tim pool
It's Republicans in general.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
So Trump comes out, and he talks big on a lot of things, but what's he doing?
Nothing happened.
How long ago was it where he made that website where he's like, send me your thoughts on social media censorship?
lydia smith
I don't even know.
tim pool
That was a long time ago.
adam crigler
Did he not create a booming economy, though?
unidentified
He did.
adam crigler
Right.
So that's pretty important.
tim pool
Wasn't jobs at an all-time low?
adam crigler
wasn't jobs at an all-time low ever?
unidentified
Ever?
tim pool
No, jobs were at an all-time high.
adam crigler
Unemployment, yeah.
tim pool
No, no, but the point is, there are people, as we can see from this comment, that believe Trump isn't doing enough.
And you look at Ann Coulter, for instance.
adam crigler
No, that bugs me, because seriously, the Democrats were ripping him apart for thinking he could even do anything
because it's all the states.
He's like, we got to open up the economy.
And they're like, no, no, no.
How dare you try to tell us to do anything?
Because we're in control of our states.
Go F yourself.
tim pool
If Trump.
Sure, sure.
But if Trump really wants to win and bolster his base at this point.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Indictments.
adam crigler
Hmm.
So indict all the governors that aren't living?
unidentified
No, no, no, no, no.
tim pool
The Obamagate stuff.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
Yeah, bring it on.
tim pool
Like, people are going to want to see a perp walk.
adam crigler
That's actually happening right now, though.
All these people are actually going to court.
But it's not being sprung on the mainstream media.
No one's talking about it.
tim pool
I mean, there have been some hearings.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
The hearings are going on for Obamagate.
tim pool
But how many times have we been through this?
If the Durham investigation is going to bring someone... But I'm saying it's actually happening, though.
Maybe.
I think at this point, after years of going through all the BS, a lot of people don't believe anything's going to happen.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
I'm seeing high-profile Trump supporters who are saying straight up, if you think there will be high-level indictments, you're insane.
And the people who did all of these things and lied, and we watched them lie and get away with it, nothing bad will happen.
adam crigler
And yet Hillary just lost her case and has to show up in September... Lost what case?
Yeah, but she's testifying.
tim pool
Like what does that mean?
adam crigler
I don't know.
tim pool
know they made a young junior testify they made all of these people testify
nothing happens nothing happens so people become disenfranchised now it's
adam crigler
it's or empowered what do you mean I am voting for Trump I have was net I would
tim pool
never have expected to the economy is the best argument yes over the past
adam crigler
three months I'm I've done so much research and what's going on I've got
people hitting me up every day from all sides not not just the right not just
tim pool
the left. Oh that really nasty one you got. Sure.
adam crigler
Yeah.
unidentified
You bigot!
adam crigler
Yeah, sometimes.
I mean, I don't care.
I want that.
I like being enlightened.
I want to hear all sides of things.
So when I'm seeing all sides of things, I'm like, wow, the left is really going crazy.
Definitely.
Wow, Trump's actually doing some things that are pretty legit.
tim pool
Look, I think Trump's going to win.
I think so, too.
But there are people who think that Trump isn't doing anything.
unidentified
OK.
tim pool
So listen.
Yeah.
It's ridiculous.
And you look at how the WHO is now backtracking.
They've inverted everything they said in the beginning.
Everything was wrong the whole time.
Oh, asymptomatic carriers aren't spreading this anymore.
And the masks didn't work, but now they do work.
Now they don't work.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
And Trump dotes along with it.
So listen, man, like...
Everything, oh man, there's so much to break down in how the Russia gate stuff unfolded,
adam crigler
how Ukraine gate, and it really does seem- And it all fell apart because there was nothing there.
tim pool
Well, sure, sure. But is the best that people are going to hope for when it comes to the stuff that
Trump just holds his ground? Or are they going to hope that something actually happens? Now,
maybe some people think Trump needs a second term to get the job done.
We've got the invest, the Durham investigation is underway.
Bill Barr keeps hyping it up.
I mean, he's not really hyping it up because Bill Barr's a really tempered dude.
He's like, we're doing an investigation and it'll be done when it's done.
So he recently said there's going to be some familiar names that people are going to be surprised to see.
I think right now, probably what's going on, because I don't trust any of these bigwigs and fat cats, is that somebody went to some high-ranking dude from the Democrats and said, okay, we're going to work out a deal, no one will ever say your name, don't worry, but we're going to throw this guy under the bus.
I'm willing to bet, oh, there'll be some names you recognize, and it'll be some low-level FBI people, and people are going to go, oh, that was it.
That's what you'll get.
Like, the Flynn stuff is crazy, man.
Like, I don't even understand.
The media is so clearly lying about what's going on with it.
The FBI note said, what should we do this for?
To get him fired or get him prosecuted?
Why would law enforcement be like, we want to get a guy fired?
That is not, as my understanding, in the purview of law enforcement, to go after someone's job.
adam crigler
Yeah, you asked me what he did, but it's like, what have the Democrats been doing?
It's like, all I can think is them trying to shove Russiagate down our throats for four years.
Only to find out that it's all BS.
tim pool
Waste of everyone's time.
adam crigler
Yeah.
No, especially their time.
They're supposed to be working for us.
They weren't.
They were working to just get Trump out.
Like, come on.
tim pool
I'll tell you why I can't imagine Democrats winning.
adam crigler
You know what that is?
Hold on.
I just want to say this.
That's wallowing in the situation instead of trying to move forward.
This is what I was saying yesterday.
That pisses me off.
I can't stand that.
We need people that look forward and move forward and look at the path forward and try to walk that line.
Not stand where I am and go, I don't like this.
I don't like where I'm standing.
tim pool
It's everyone else's fault.
The world must spin for me.
adam crigler
I'm over that.
tim pool
If there is one thing that I think was the final nail in the coffin for the Democrats, it's when they all said Man, watching the video of Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan go,
I understand that you're angry and you can be angry at me.
And then she was like, 10 minutes later, now I'm going to go march with the other protesters.
adam crigler
Shoulder to shoulder.
tim pool
Shoulder to shoulder.
That is...
That is like... Yeah.
I imagine what it must have felt like being one of the founding fathers, and the king was sitting there, you know, holding out his pinky ring saying like, I don't care what work you do, kiss it!
And they were like, they stood up and said, no, bring your guns, because we ain't taking this no more.
So now I can imagine what it must have felt like for the people who actually live in Michigan, because I know how I felt when I watched her say that.
adam crigler
Yeah, I was pissed.
tim pool
The duplicitous snake of You're gonna be angry, but this is for your own safety.
And then as soon as she poo-pooed away the poor little people with their little barber shops, she went out and marched for her ideological cause.
And I got people saying to me, but you realized, Tim, that it's really dangerous that the barber was gonna cut hair.
I mean, he's coming into direct contact with people.
And I'm like, you mean the barber in a town of 15,000 people with no outbreak?
Compared to the people marching in Detroit where there is an outbreak, and they're marching shoulder-to-shoulder by the thousands with the governor?
Spare me, dude.
I don't want to hear it.
adam crigler
Exactly.
tim pool
I can only imagine you are gonna see all of these people.
What are they doing?
They must be screaming, punching the wall like enraged.
I've talked to some locals, man, out here, and they roll their eyes when it comes up about New Jersey's governor saying, no one can do any of these things, but hear, hear to the protesters.
The rest of you, we'll lock you up.
It's like, dude, people are not happy about that.
adam crigler
It's the Democrats, man.
Look, have people forgotten about that?
It feels like there's a big group of them who are like, well, that didn't happen, I don't remember it, so I'm just gonna blame everything on Trump again.
tim pool
They're not hearing about it.
They don't know maybe, I don't know.
adam crigler
Maybe.
tim pool
It's insane to me, but maybe we will see, you know, like December in the UK, when the Conservatives just absolutely crushed everything, and it was just like a 100 year record defeat for the Labour Party, the left.
Maybe that's what will happen come November and everyone will sit there staring like in shock
how the establishment is wrong. Will Americans actually pay attention and stand up? I honestly
don't know. Trump lost the popular vote. But I'm wondering now if the salon owner in California
who was told you can't go to work and then all these protesters marched.
I'm sure some of them are really dumb, but I gotta believe that in Santa Monica, when you see the video of like an old guy getting knocked over by rioters or looters or something in Santa Monica, and the cops did nothing about it.
adam crigler
Yeah, I saw that.
tim pool
This is LA County.
This is deep, deep blue.
I gotta imagine a bunch of those people are now fuming.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Are they gonna be like, well, I'll just go with the status quo.
Maybe.
I don't know, man, but I think people are going to snap, but it is true.
Like, so the thing, the reason I bring this up with a super chat is people, I have seen people mention they're tired of Trump sitting around and watching this stuff happen.
He didn't send out the military.
He said he would, he did nothing.
And so people are like, right now, Seattle has this stupid little occupation.
Nothing's happening.
adam crigler
Yeah, I'm sure he wants to.
I'm sure he's like, just ask me for my help, please.
tim pool
I don't think Trump should go into Seattle though.
adam crigler
I don't think so either.
Because it's literally- Because it's on Washington State to deal with that.
tim pool
But there's nothing to deal with.
It's a bunch of hippies doing hippie dances and dumping dirt on cardboard and putting potted plants on top of it.
adam crigler
Also saying that this is no longer the United States.
Let baby have his bottle.
No.
Definitely not.
No, Tim.
Absolutely not.
When a little kid goes around- No, you don't give them the candy that they want.
tim pool
No, listen.
adam crigler
No, that's wrong.
tim pool
If a little kid goes out in the backyard and claims he's Officer Bradley, you know he's not really a cop.
adam crigler
Sure, but when he's whining and saying, I want the milk that's over there.
Give me my bottle.
I want it now.
tim pool
Give it to me.
And they're not giving the demands.
The cops just walked in today.
They walked right in and people were yelling, Form a line!
Form a line!
And no one did.
They were like, Link arms!
No one did.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And the cops walked in the building and no one did anything about it.
The other day, the fire chief.
What's up?
lydia smith
Good.
No, I just said good.
tim pool
The fire chief walked up and started like, you know, reinforcing barricades.
Nobody did anything.
adam crigler
Not surprising.
tim pool
Yeah.
So it's a bunch of kids playing this little game, and fine, let them do it.
So again, there's so many factors to try and figure out who's going to win.
I have to wonder, though, if everything they told us about COVID was wrong, if they're lying about the protests, I can only imagine every single poll that's bad for Trump is a lie.
Everything in the media about Trump is bad.
It's always bad.
Everything's bad.
That's impossible.
adam crigler
Every single time.
It's impossible.
You're absolutely right.
lydia smith
No way.
adam crigler
That's not possible.
100% of what he does is bad.
tim pool
That makes no sense.
It's like I said before when I was talking to this local guy and he told me, I didn't vote in 2016, but you know, he said he was going to vote for Trump because he was sick and tired of the negative media about it.
He was like, man, just shut up already.
I don't care.
I'm going to vote.
He was like, I'm going to go vote for the guy now.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
He's like, because they just don't shut up about it.
I wonder how many people don't know or don't care, but are just like, you know what?
F you.
I'm sick and tired of your complaining.
And that's what does it.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
Maybe.
adam crigler
Got me.
tim pool
Maybe, man.
lydia smith
We'll see.
tim pool
Maybe.
Let's read some more of these superchats.
adam crigler
Are we in superchats?
lydia smith
Yes, we are.
We're still doing superchats.
adam crigler
Man, I forgot.
Kind of got into our tangent there.
tim pool
Cellular says, Hey Tim and gang, you guys decide on where you're bugging out to yet?
A couple buddies and I from North Jersey are between coastal Georgia, West Virginia and New Hampshire.
Thanks for everything you do.
We have not.
We'll see how things play out.
adam crigler
Weird.
tim pool
I'm very familiar with this.
Thomas Sowell wrote about how black culture and family survived slavery and Jim Crow,
but was ruined by Johnson's Great Society.
Lower poverty and single parent rates before the growth of welfare.
Do you know what that's about?
lydia smith
I'm very familiar with this. So Thomas Sowell talks at length about black culture,
and he talks about how it's actually provably true that the black community had a stronger
marriage rate than the white community, and fewer babies for a very long time were born out of
wedlock among black families before the introduction of this beautiful benevolent welfare
society. And suddenly it was more profitable to be a single mother than it was to be a dad and
stay home and raise your family. So that's great.
tim pool
Interesting.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
So is that part of, like, the Black Lives Matter theory that it was on purpose to dismantle and destroy the community?
lydia smith
I think they really ignore that part of history, because I don't think that plays into their narrative.
tim pool
I know that some people on YouTube have talked about that and been called racist.
lydia smith
Yeah, I don't think they like to talk about black fatherhood.
adam crigler
Research.
tim pool
Kanye West does, though, doesn't he?
lydia smith
He does.
tim pool
He's a G. Hey man, look, I defer to Kanye, right?
lydia smith
For sure, me too.
tim pool
I don't know.
Darren, thanks for becoming a member.
Graf Von Tirol says the Seattle police chief has recently stated that clearing the precinct wasn't her idea.
She basically passed the buck on the mayor.
No surprise there.
Sarn Zero says Epstein did not kill himself.
Hmm, interesting.
Heard that one before.
Kadrick Everson says, the banned cards are mysteriously gone from TCG player.
If you try to check a price on MTG Goldfish, it's $0 even for alpha.
My commander weenie deck was suffering enough already before banning Crusade.
This is, for those who are not familiar, Magic the Gathering, a trading card game about fantasy wizards and mages and goblins fighting vampires or whatever, banned a bunch of cards for being racist.
They've instantly become... Dude, I think Ian was saying one of the cards went up from $2 to like $200.
adam crigler
Which one?
tim pool
I don't know.
I think you maybe said in prison?
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Like the prices are... They're gone.
They're all gone.
adam crigler
I'm not surprised.
tim pool
Everyone bought everything they could as soon as they announced they were banned.
adam crigler
Yeah, illegal art.
tim pool
Yup, dude.
Well, this is America, man.
In America, you can't do that.
Nah, sorry.
lydia smith
We don't like that.
tim pool
I bought as many of the cards as I could as soon as it happened.
I already have Invoke Prejudice in my blue deck.
adam crigler
It's banned, dude.
Get it out of there.
tim pool
No, it's not.
adam crigler
They just banned it!
tim pool
In tournament play.
adam crigler
Yeah, well, I don't like it.
tim pool
I've never actually gotten to use it, though, because it costs four blue.
adam crigler
It's such a brutal card.
tim pool
It is brutal, but, like, against Vampire, like, Ian's Vampire deck could probably be really good.
adam crigler
You gotta get out first, though.
tim pool
Exactly, and it's four blue.
adam crigler
It's like...
tim pool
All right, let's see.
Now that we're out of the esoteric card game talk, Colin Peace says, Adam, you hyped for Bugsnax?
Can't wait for Bugsnax.
WTF is Demon's Souls?
Doesn't look as good as Bugsnax.
adam crigler
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Watch your language, sir.
tim pool
Bugsnax is way better than Demon's Souls.
unidentified
No!
adam crigler
I want to take this outside, bro.
tim pool
Bugsnax.
adam crigler
No, Demon's Souls is the first game in the Dark Souls series.
Technically, it's the Demon's Souls series.
It was amazing.
It's probably the hardest of the four games.
It's incredible.
It's one of those games that I actually have a buddy who I forced him to play Dark Souls one time when I was at his place and he was like, how do I not know about this game?
I'm going to play all of them.
And he called me up.
He's like, dude, I just, I'm halfway through Demon's Souls.
I just, I just broke my controller.
tim pool
Is that the first one or what?
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
The first one.
unidentified
Wow.
adam crigler
Yeah.
It was the first of the series.
Yep.
lydia smith
Very cool.
unidentified
Amazing.
tim pool
I still think Bugsnax is going to be the takeaway hit from the year.
unidentified
Yeah, I think so.
tim pool
Game of the Year 2021, whatever.
It looks so bad.
lydia smith
I'm so excited for it.
adam crigler
Bugsnax.

Some Civvie says, COVID spikes in AZ.
How ironic and opportune.
Senate race between McSally and Mark Kelly.
Also, AZ is a battleground state and Trump is scheduled to rally June 23rd.
Can't wait to see how this plays out.
June 23rd is going to be a very, very interesting day.
Do you know why?
unidentified
Why is that?
adam crigler
Another day in 2020.
tim pool
Ocasio-Cortez's primary with Michelle Caruso Cabrera.
adam crigler
Oh, she's going down.
tim pool
I don't know, man.
adam crigler
AOC.
tim pool
This is going to be one of the most important races.
And this, I believe, will predict what may come in November.
adam crigler
Interesting.
tim pool
Will the internet prove to be true and AOC win?
Or will real Americans say, we don't like the crazy people, just give us the regular moderate?
lydia smith
I don't know.
tim pool
Look, Michelle Crusoe Cabrera is very much, I believe, in line with the traditional Democrats and supportive of Nancy Pelosi.
So she's a regular Democrat.
But the question is, is internet real life now?
Will Ocasio-Cortez's 7 million followers turn into a major primary win?
It could be.
Because she'll go on Twitter and say, tell all your friends and family to come out and vote for me, and that might be enough for her to get the primary victory.
Michelle Crusoe Cabrera is not as famous.
Not nearly as famous.
But we'll see.
adam crigler
New York's been through a lot.
tim pool
Maybe regular people in New York say, we just want things to go back to normal.
adam crigler
Yeah, maybe.
tim pool
And they're going to purposely vote against her for that reason.
adam crigler
I wouldn't be surprised.
tim pool
I don't know, man.
It'll be interesting.
lydia smith
Normal sounds good.
tim pool
We'll see how it plays out.
adam crigler
Yep.

No doubt.

Sarah Hill says, you're informative and entertaining, and I'm waiting for aliens, but I'm wondering if the Christians will mistake it for the rapture.
lydia smith
Ooh, good question.
adam crigler
That wouldn't surprise me.

I think the aliens will be clever.
Connor Greenwell says, thinking of heading from my city of Lewiston, what is that, M-E, Maine, population 20,000, up to Caribou, population 8,200, a small town with city amenities, middle of nowhere, and everyone is armed.
Peace, beanie, brethren, and sis.
There's a town at the very northernmost edge of Maine.
It's really interesting.
They speak French.
adam crigler
Oh, really?
tim pool
Yeah, because right across is a town of 30,000 in Canada where they speak French.
adam crigler
Not surprising.
tim pool
But they're all dying, because nobody wants to live there.
Nobody wants to be like a pioneer's man, you know?
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
Living out closer to the wilderness and building a new town.
I actually thought a really, really cool idea would be to relocate to a small dying town in the middle of nowhere.
adam crigler
Just like that, yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, and then start building up new companies and new industry.
adam crigler
Re-invigorate it.
tim pool
Yeah, and bring it back.
lydia smith
That'd be so cool.
tim pool
Yep.
Let's see.

Flood says white privilege equals being called a racist every day.
And spinning the UFO.
It certainly is the white privilege of Adam.

Yes!

To spin the UFO.

As long as you smash that like button.

Travis Potter says, I just found three cats in my garage, and it's my wife's birthday next week.
I don't know what to do.
Please help me, please.

Wait, what do you mean you found?
Oh, wait.
Are you saying your cat, like your wife went out and bought cats or something?

Oh, gosh.

Congratulations on your cats, buddy.

I'm excited for your new cat adventure.
tim pool
Yeah, I don't know.

Cats are cool.

Let's see, Phonog Tephologist says, Yo Tim Crute, it always seems interesting that the National Socialist German Workers' Party are associated with socialism.

Dalton Lucas says, Chaz should try Barondo.
It has what plants need.
What they crave, actually.
Master of Skitari says, check out who BLM is using to collect donations.
ActBlue collects money for Democrat presidential nominees.
That is a fact.
Richie Hamilton says, y'all want some homegrown pizza?
That's what you get when you go to Chaz.
Straight from the Domino's a mile down the road.
The Grizzly says, I grew up on a farm in Michigan.
No, none of what's happening in the autonomous zone is correct methodology where you farm.
Wrong season for half of the plants.
You don't plant after May.
Period.
These people are nuts.
They're just playing a game in the park, man.
Samuel Farmer says the paper can be used to isolate the crops from the grass, but they are doing everything wrong.
The soil will get washed away by the rain and blown away by the wind.

But thank you for that then.

Yeah.

There is a video of people chanting the Black Lives Matter slogan and some guy who's like

Okay?
If you don't think that this goes all the way to the top, you would be wrong.
And there is a serious split in this country.
Jessica Joseph says, I would advise using newspaper on an industrial-sized farm, but in an organic garden you can use newspaper to prevent weeds.
It's a very common practice in backyard gardens.
Sure.
Interesting.
unidentified
There you go.
Can be done.
adam crigler
But you need more than like three inches of topsoil.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
And it'll blow away and get washed away in the rain, which is very obvious because it's on cardboard.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Chris Pavotto says, Chaz might use Sprite because Seattle has a caffeine tax.
Also, even Google Amazon Campus in Seattle, extremely close to Capitol Hill, think Amazon will tolerate this long if it affects the bottom line?
unidentified
Oh, heck no.

I do not believe they would.
DM says, when you start a garden, you can put down cardboard to kill off the grass and clear the area, but that takes four to six weeks and you don't plant your garden on top of the cardboard.

Mr. McGraw says, the U.S.
should say, fine, you're your own country, close the border with Chazz, shut off utilities, revoke their citizenship passports, post CBP at the border, deny them entry, we gave you what you want, bye Felicia.
adam crigler
Yeah, but the people that live in the buildings there, what choice do they have?
tim pool
Well, then they would demand help from the U.S.
government to save them.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
They would still have passports.

That's what North Korea does.

The top person refused to answer any questions about money and income.
Yeah, it was a disaster right here.
adam crigler
Interesting.
tim pool
The Grizzly says, Tim, I grow plants.
My brother does too.
Currently weed.
Legal in Michigan.
Though the family does own a farm and we actually are growing crops.
I've been growing since I was five, back when my grandparents owned another farm.
Very nice.
Don No says, LOL.
You say you're left of center, but I think you're more libertarian than you want to admit.
Also, don't look at any 4chan-linked articles.
I am left libertarian.
That's obviously it.
So, people often conflate big L libertarian party with the general concept of libertarianism.
Yeah, I'm all about freedom.
KS says, I think Antifa is short for anti-fact, or anti-First Amendment.
AxMaximus says, I have started canceling things that I use from companies that have canceled people for saying what they want.
I think this will be the best way for us normal people to show these companies to stop.
I agree, absolutely.
James Litsy says, don't call it identitarianism or intersectionality, call it what it is, racism.
Well no, yes, but the idea is you need to have something that better explains exactly what it is that they're, like what, so here, listen.
I once talked with Richard Spencer, it was at the RNC, and he explained to me that the white nationalists, he views them almost the same in many ways as Black Lives Matter.
That's the core fundamental idea of identity as pretext for your government policy or authority.
That's exactly what all of these groups do.
So if you want to explain what they all do when you don't like that one specific thing, you call it identitarianism.
Travis Teague says, Love the work you guys do.
Y'all are keeping me appraised of what's really going on.
Appraised of what's really going on in this crazy time.
Any estimations on how long the Chazz will last?
At some point cranky children need to go to bed.
Occupy Wall Street lasted just under two months.
But with Chaz, they actually have buildings.
And there's reports now, I read this article from the police, that they're extorting people.
adam crigler
I told you about that.
tim pool
I know, but the police have come out and said straight up, it's happening.
They're trying to deny it, but come on, man.
Somebody called the cops and said they're trying to take us down, and the cops were like, this is what's happening.
So what do you expect?
So I don't know.
I think it could probably last longer because they have buildings to occupy.
Phil Becker says, it's hot how people forget about Ruby Ridge.

Busy Buck says, the career similarities between you and Alex Jones are surprising.
Independent investigative journalism?
Start your own studio.
You should have him on the show.
It'd be way better than Glenn Beck.
I don't think I could handle the energy of Alex Jones.
I would get steamrolled in two seconds.

It's too much, yeah.
adam crigler
Yeah, he's just... I could see that.

Yeah, dude, he's... He's something else.
adam crigler

Ruggero says, I'm Brazilian.
I always thought the USA is the beacon of freedom.

lydia smith
Don't worry.
tim pool
Keck Azimendia says, Tim, I have been seeing fun activity on 4chan for the last week.
This is the preemptive strike against BLM and Antifa.
The second great meme war has begun.
Chaz Antifa BLM vs 4chan who wins.
Called it.
Listen, man.
You guys, Chaz must be protected.
You know why?
Because it is a meme factory.
It is ripe for parody and satire and it warms my day.
Everybody's making fun of everything they do.
And it's like a reality TV show, man.
adam crigler
You know?
It does seem to be bringing a lot of people together.
On both sides of the pond.
tim pool
But in all seriousness, listen.
Let me break it down for you.
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
If the people who live there won't speak up, I won't speak up on their behalf.
If they don't ask for help, then I assume they don't want it.
If the people who live in the city have 12,000 people complain about the cops or the cops
left, they are getting exactly what they want.
Let me make this absolutely clear.
I've said in the past several days, if you have 100 people and 10 of them are screaming
and throwing diapers at cops.
And the 90 don't say anything?
Consider those 90 people saying nothing, abstaining from the vote, and those 10 people voting, and guess what?
10 in favor of disbanding the police, 90 abstained, guess who wins?
So if the 500 residencies or so in this Capitol Hill free zone refuse to say anything, And why would anyone come to their defense in that case?
adam crigler
You're right.
tim pool
You can do whatever you want in your town.
If nobody... Look, if you don't like living there and no one will do anything about it, you can leave.
Might not be easy, but you might as well do it.
I would do it.
So, there you go.
adam crigler
That's also what a World War II vet said to... Someone asked him, like, what do you think about all these people that are burning the American flag?
He said, tell them to leave the country then.
Tell them to get out.
Because we fought for this country.
tim pool
Well, that's different.
adam crigler
I don't have a problem with burning... If they don't like it here, they can go somewhere else.
tim pool
Well, it's, no, I mean, we're a country of reform.
If you don't like it here, then absolutely fight for what you want to change.
lydia smith
Yeah, you should be taking action.
tim pool
However, the people who want to, you know, they complain about California's laws and they move to another, they move to a red area and then change the laws to what California was, it's like... Colorado.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
tim pool
Right, exactly.
lydia smith
Oh my gosh.
tim pool
They're like, let's make it awful like the place we came from!
lydia smith
Yes, the place we fled.
tim pool
We voted for a bunch of really bad things, well bring it with us!
I got no problem if somebody wants to complain about cops, if they want to say I have to police, if they want to burn an American flag.
America is a country of dissenters who stood up to the authority and it is an important and healthy thing that we constantly remember that because we don't want a runaway authoritarian state.
The problem now is the culture revolution is changing What the American people think about freedom?
Whereas we used to be defiant and it was very difficult for the government
We then started getting complacent and now we have our culture literally forcing people who are not even in
agreement to just give up The best example is the Sheridan Hotel where they claimed
in the go fund me. He graciously allowed them to use the building
Yeah, graciously as in, they showed up and said, we will destroy your life, and you know it.
And then he evicted everybody by canceling their cards, and that was funny.
adam crigler
That is pretty funny.
Yeah, I agree.
lydia smith
I love it.
tim pool
All right, let's see what we got.
Let's move, uh, here we go.
Villa Music Dude says, Heard of Friedrich Nietzsche, German philosopher that show how people envious of successful upper class.
They use equality as a mask for their desire to create chaos, destruction, revenge.
Excerpt is called On the Tarantulas, eerily representative of today.
lydia smith
Excellent, excellent.
tim pool
There is no better example of this than the fact that once they declared their autonomous zone, They put up, uh, there was a sign put up that said, Cowards hide behind their guns.
And in this video, you see the sign, and they announce, The John Brown Gun Club is here with guns for your safety.
So as soon as they take over and say, now we're autonomous, what do they do?
Armed security guards, border walls, self-appointed police, who then begins defending the property owners.
lydia smith
Assaulting people.
tim pool
Congratulations, you've invented society.
And you're upholding exactly what you claim to not want.
No, because they're lying.
They just want the power for themselves.
They want to be the police now.
unidentified
You're right.
tim pool
Well, guess what?
The residents gave it to them.
Alright, let's see.
Let's see.
Vash says, Tim, why don't you invite Antifa into your home so they can stomp around and
play Revolution?
You may think it's cute that kids are playing games, but I guarantee you the adults are
sick of this.
Then the adults who live there can all get up, go outside and say, get off of my lawn.
If they don't do that and they won't stand up for themselves, don't expect me on the
East Coast, 3,500 miles away to start defending people who won't defend themselves.
It starts with you.
You can't assume that freedom will just be handed to you.
This is something that Americans knew for a long time.
Freedom isn't free.
That we have people who sign up for the armed forces every day to defend our values and our way of life.
Well, now when it's being threatened, you know what, man?
I do think it's funny they're playing Revolution.
I do.
And apparently the people who live there actually support it.
When the cops were fighting with the protesters, 12,000 people filed complaints.
There's only 500 residencies in that area.
I'm sure not everybody likes it.
I'm sure the people being extorted don't like it.
Are they going to come out now and say, please stop extorting me?
Or are they going to cower and then expect someone else to come in and save them?
Listen, if you need help, you ask, I will give it.
If people are harassing you and extorting you in this area, and you come up and make a video saying, please help me, these people are harassing me, I will talk about it, I will highlight it, and I will say this is a problem.
But if you're not going to do that, I don't know the problem exists.
I'm not going to assume people are unhappy about it.
They seem to like it.
They seem to be having a good time.
Their pizzas are coming in, and they're giving out ice cream.
Well, there you go, man.
You get what you want.
CSFL says, check out Welcome to the Private Police, a bit of Fry and Laurie BBC.
I feel left out.
Well, the Hispanics were dominating the news cycle all of the past year, and now it's switched.
Yeah.
Thank you for your devotion to the truth.
I've been watching you since I was a young anarchist in high school during Occupy.
Since you have been my most trusted news source, thank you for everything.
Appreciate it.
Shonda says, I'm a pro nail tech with private studio in Cali.
And yes, I'm beyond pissed.
Was my strict rules and regulations for sanitation licensing all for naught?
I feel for you, man.
And I wonder how many... Look, in the UK, there were areas that didn't vote conservative for a hundred years, and they flipped.
And people, like, the collective brick that was shat was huge.
It was massive!
You could use it to make a building, a skyscraper.
People were freaking out.
They thought they won.
So I looked at the polls.
I wanted to go back and see what were people predicting.
And there were a lot of stories saying the conservative majority is in question.
They're not doing as well as people expected them to do well.
They're going to lose their majority.
And the assumption was they would do well, but just not well enough to stop a coalition.
They'd be under like 50% control of parliament or something.
And then they just dominated.
It was insane how hard the Labour Party got crushed.
Same thing happened in 2016 with Brexit.
They voted for Brexit, and then five months later, Trump won.
So maybe we are going to be tracking very similarly to how the people in Britain feel, and it will shock and terrify these people.
Could you imagine if the media, being a fringe minority of the country, really does believe they're the majority, and then it turns out they finally realize, according to the polls, you're like 8%.
What will they do?
They're gonna have a panic attack.
unidentified
They're gonna have meltdowns.

Elite Spanker says our job site is across from Chaz.
Our job site is being shut down at 11 tomorrow because there is going to be a major protest riot tomorrow.
We have had two workers attacked in the last two days.
Now that I will definitely speak up for.
That's a good, you know, for sure.
That should not be happening.
So then if that's the case, and if the government won't step in and people are being attacked, definitely then Trump's gotta step in and do something.
Aaron M says, So Hong Kong government is requiring teachers to take mandatory training to be professional and love China, as well as report students who disrespect CCP anthem and flag.
How long till the woke brigade tries to force this on the US education system?
I don't know, a week?
Oh yeah man.
Are you kidding?
So much energy.
Oh yeah man.
Are you kidding?
2020 election, Biden slash Clinton versus Trump Kanye who wins.
Keep up the great work and spin that UFO.
Oh, dude, Trump Kanye.
adam crigler
Oh, yeah, Trump Kanye.
lydia smith
Are you kidding?
So much energy.
tim pool
Dude, people underestimate the power of Kanye West.
They really do.
Yeah, look at Trump.
Especially base celebrities.
to underestimate the power of celebrity and I mean it.
lydia smith
Yeah, look at Trump.
tim pool
I saw some comments, it was crazy.
I was reading Twitter threads, it was a while ago.
adam crigler
Especially base celebrities.
tim pool
Yeah.
It was around the time that Trump went to, Kanye went to the Oval Office
and met with Trump or something.
Okay.
And I saw Twitter threads from people ragging on Kanye and then I saw other people defending Kanye
and the people who were defending him were talking about how they woke up.
I don't want to say they said they were red-pilled, but they were like, Kanye brought them the truth, and they can see for themselves.
There are people who just love Kanye West.
adam crigler
That's literally red-pilling.
tim pool
Right, right, right.
But they didn't say red-pilled, I mean.
adam crigler
No, they got red-pilled.
tim pool
But no, but I don't think so.
I don't think they were.
adam crigler
I'm just saying.
tim pool
I think they're fans of Kanye.
They're not red-pilled.
They're fans of Kanye.
And when Kanye said, I'm doing this, he said, you got it, Kanye.
I got your back.
They don't know why.
They don't know the full reasons.
All they know is Kanye is, you know, he's the dude.
He's the man.
And they love and respect him.
And they want to be like him.
So if he said it, that's what they'll do.
adam crigler
Oh, that's a little bit different than what you just said, though.
tim pool
What do you mean?
adam crigler
You just said that they watched him, and then they woke up and saw for themselves.
tim pool
They were saying that Kanye, like, woke me up, man, he's speaking the truth.
adam crigler
If they were able to see for themselves... That's not what I'm saying.
tim pool
What I'm saying is... I know, I was saying it.
They're claiming that because of Kanye they now understand and they're gonna vote.
What I'm saying is what I think really happened is that Kanye is a celebrity and celebrity power means people follow no matter what he says.
So there are a lot of people saying Kanye's wrong, he's gone nuts, and they're like, nah man, Kanye's right, he's the best, he's showing me what's really going on.
Kanye could come out now and say, no, I was wrong, and they'll be like, you know what, Kanye, you were right, you were wrong.
Like, they'll just follow what Kanye wants.
That's what I'm saying.
If Trump ran with Kanye on the ticket, all these people just love Kanye.
They're gonna be like, yeah, President Kanye!
unidentified
Yeah!
tim pool
They're gonna go vote.
They're gonna just go for it.
Who's got that excitement for Biden and Clinton?
Not me.
unidentified
No way.
adam crigler
There's no way.
Sorry.
tim pool
I would consider voting for Kanye.
You know why?
lydia smith
Why?
tim pool
Sounds exciting.
unidentified
It does.
lydia smith
Sounds interesting.
adam crigler
Really cool.
lydia smith
Who knows what's gonna happen?
tim pool
I don't think Kanye, like they call him crazy.
I don't think he's that crazy.
lydia smith
He's not.
He's a businessman.
adam crigler
I don't think so.
tim pool
He's smart.
When you see him do these crazy press things, like when he grabbed the mic from Taylor Swift and was like, I'm gonna let you finish.
Come on, man.
That was planned.
He knew exactly what he was doing.
It was very, very smart.
adam crigler
That was hilarious.
tim pool
Yeah.
And I'm sure it was planned.
I'm sure Taylor Swift knew and everybody knew.
And after they finished, they walked out high-fived.
adam crigler
No, she was probably the only one who didn't know.
tim pool
Because they needed the reaction to be genuine.
But then afterwards, they came back and she was probably like, what happened?
They're like, it's gonna be great.
We're gonna do a bunch of interviews.
You're gonna raise your profile.
And she's probably like, awesome.
This is fantastic.
She probably walked over to Kanye, thank you so much for this.
And he's like, you know, don't worry about it.
They said you'd be cool.
And it's all staged, man.
Jordan C says, Tim, curious on your opinion of drug cartels being the first thing the media will have to cover.
Honestly, after it stops lying to everyone.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
Are they not covering them?
I don't know.
Steven Shank says, This past weekend I became a firearm owner.
The talk of defunding and disbanding police is frightening.
I hope it was a waste of money.
Seriously.
But it won't be.
Just make sure you have training and you do everything right.
And you have to respect the weapon.
Sedish, thanks for becoming a member.
unidentified
Thank you.
tim pool
John Tice, oh, we just jumped.
All right, well, where are we at?
lydia smith
We're doing pretty good, it looks like.
tim pool
It just jumped way too much.
Okay, I lost the super chat.
There we go.
John Tice says, the poll that has Trump at 38% approval was 25% Republican, 32% Dem, and 44% Independent.
Check the analytics on these.
They oversample Dems to guide the results and drive a narrative.
Did the exact same thing in 2016, and that's why... I think it'll be fake.
Quill drop.
However, the oversampling was, I think the amount of people who voted, registered voters, was like 33% Republican, so they did undersample for sure, and oversampled independents.
They do this because people will vote for who they think is going to win.
It's a known fact.
So they're trying to pump the polls so that regular people go, I'm not going to vote for Trump, and they go out.
Jesse says, Tim, I'm from a town near Buffalo, New York.
Most towns in western New York are Republican.
Most of western New York was red during election.
Do you think states could divide into new states via secession someday?
Well, there's talk of the state of Jefferson in the Pacific Northwest, where like Idaho would grab, you know, parts of Oregon.
lydia smith
Yeah, that's kind of cool to learn about.
tim pool
They've talked about it for a while.
adam crigler
Washington.
Yeah.
tim pool
Insanity says I'm an ER doc in St.
Louis, got reprimanded and my job was threatened for saying our administration is putting ideology over science and our own official recommendations in a daily meeting.
Because you have to bend the knee to the church, man.
Nick Crouch says, Same.
I work at a hospital in STL.
I sent you a video, Tim, and I'm reprimanded for not liking politics, especially race politics, in a hospital.
Bend the knee, man.
B. Anderson says, I mean that sarcastically.
They're trying to make you do it.
B. Anderson says, I think they are trying to simulate the black plastic you lay down to prevent weed and grass.
But I think a cut hole for the actual plant to put into the ground, but I'm no farmer.
In reference to the Chazz.
Cal Ken says, from Black Lives Matter What We're About, PG, Why they don't highlight welfare problem.
Disrupt the Western prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended family villages.
adam crigler
Huh.
tim pool
Totally wasn't my fault says, Who would win in a fight?
Creepy Uncle Joe Biden or Bill I did not have sex Clinton?
adam crigler
They're both old.
tim pool
Yeah.
I think Biden would win.
adam crigler
They'd both just fall asleep.
lydia smith
Yeah, I don't know.
tim pool
I think Biden would win.
adam crigler
You think so?
tim pool
Yeah, because Bill is too, you know... I don't know, though.
That's tough.
lydia smith
Hillary's been draining the life force from them for a while.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
She's got a point.
lydia smith
Oh, man.
adam crigler
Yeah, I gotta go with Biden on that one.
lydia smith
Yeah, I think so, too.
adam crigler
Surprisingly, I vote for Biden.
Again, it's the only time we're gonna vote for Biden.
Only in these polls is when I'm voting for Biden.
lydia smith
Seriously.
tim pool
Foo says we all know that Tim soy Jesus and lids are hyper based and that's why we smash that like 10k 10k likes Adolfo Gutierrez has guys guys.
You got to cover the Vegano letter.
What is that one?
Is that is that the bishop who praised Trump and said it was a plot to shut him down.
adam crigler
I think so Yeah, I'm not for not certain enough Zardoz the Hammer says, let them keep the Chazz.
tim pool
This will serve as a permanent reminder of what happens when Democrats are in charge of your safety and civil rights.
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
Kai Rotan says, for Flynn Case, the amicus claimed defending yourself against entrapment is an attack on justice.
Crazy.
Morgan Scott says, I'm happy to have an outlet of logic and normalness, as my parents are leftists of the fringe variety.
That's a bummer.
Sad to hear it.
Aaron says, Tim, does the left not realize that rural America supplies all their food and are heavily armed?
Is this what happens when you shut down state institutions?
Yes.
John C says, if the culture revolution happens, what do you think will happen to the USA being the world leader?
Worries me being from Australia.
The food is made in the rural areas by people who are heavily armed.
If something happened and there was a contested election, Trump need not do anything.
The Democrats talk like Joe Biden said, the military maybe needed to pull him out of office or whatever if he loses.
If Trump came out and was like, they're cheating, then the red states would just shut down their roads, stop sending out food, and all the blue cities would start collapsing overnight.
And all the people would flee and go nuts.
And then it doesn't even require a real civil war, honestly.
If it really broke down between red and blue states, if the red states were just like, nah, we out.
The left's only saving grace will be California's farmland, but a lot of the farmers there are conservative, and they might just barricade their farms and be like, nope!
And then the red states are gonna be fine and have all of the supplies, and the cities will just become wastelands.
adam crigler
The divided states of America, yo.
lydia smith
Yeah, man.
tim pool
Yep.
adam crigler
Yep.
So I just want to say thank you, everyone.

Oh no.
