You How's it going everybody
tim pool
Welcome to the TimCast IRL podcast.
We got some crazy stories tonight.
Some dude got shot.
We're hanging out.
I'm Tim.
adam crigler
What's up, Tim?
unidentified
How's it going?
adam crigler
How you doing?
tim pool
Oh, I've got some art.
adam crigler
You do look awfully different without your facial hair.
tim pool
And imagine if I was wearing, like, a red shirt.
adam crigler
You should have done it.
tim pool
I have one.
adam crigler
You should have leaned into the switch.
tim pool
Just change everything.
Wear a baseball cap.
lydia smith
Oh my gosh.
tim pool
Like, who's this guy?
adam crigler
Baseball.
That I do not own.
tim pool
That's too much.
adam crigler
That's too much.
lydia smith
No baseball caps.
adam crigler
Anyway, what's up, everybody?
I'm Adam Krigler here.
unidentified
How you doing?
adam crigler
Thanks for joining us tonight.
Appreciate you.
unidentified
What up?
tim pool
We also have the other person.
lydia smith
Oh yeah, the person in the corner.
Sour Patch Lids.
Hey guys.
tim pool
So some dude gets shot in New Mexico.
It's clearly self-defense.
adam crigler
Definitely.
tim pool
Apparently the dude's not a member of a militia, so this is a crazy story.
They're trying to allege that this dude was a militia member and he attacked some protesters and then opened fire on a crowd.
This is where it gets crazy when you actually have journalists arguing for things that don't actually happen, and it's like... Man, I have to wonder what's wrong with their brains.
Like, there's this one journalist that I've known for a long time, he just snapped.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
He tweeted out... How so?
He tweeted out that a man, a militia member, opened fire on a crowd or something.
Okay, so now that we know this guy's not a member of the militia... Right.
Can you retract?
unidentified
No.
adam crigler
And we've seen the video too.
tim pool
And he never opened fire on a crowd.
Why would you tweet that?
And when people were like, yo, when I politely hit him up and I was like, I was like, did you watch the video?
Like, this doesn't make sense.
He just started smack talking.
And I'm like, what happened to these people, dude?
They've genuinely gone insane.
adam crigler
Our narrative is the best narrative.
All things need to show our narrative.
tim pool
I think, I think it's, I think it's just NPCs, you know, like they say whatever they have to say to, to, to function like beep, boop, boop, boop, boop.
adam crigler
We must keep the wheel turning correctly.
Yep.
lydia smith
Exactly.
tim pool
We got another really crazy story.
Great.
NBC, working with UK activists and far-leftist activists, contacted Google with a list of companies they wanted banned.
And Google actually was initially reported banned Zero Hedge and The Federalist.
And then I think they actually banned him for hate speech.
But then the story went so viral, so fast, like even Donald Trump Jr.
was like, haul him in for subpoena the CEO, bring him in, regulate, blah, blah, blah.
All of a sudden Google goes, whoa, whoa, whoa, we didn't ban the Federalist.
That's not true.
We didn't do that.
And apparently NBC says they have an email confirming from the spokesperson that they banned the Federalistic Conservative website.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Yeah, I think they panicked once they saw how rapidly viral the story exploded.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Like, I'm talking like 4,000 retweets in like an hour.
People were freaking out, dude.
Because this is one step beyond getting someone banned on social media.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
The Buttma private platform thing.
This is like a mainstream, high-profile conservative website.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, I've heard about that.
Oh, dear.
Of course.
Molly Hemingway writes for them appears on Fox News all the time and Google stripped them of their ad revenue
Wow, and then backtracked immediately. No, no, no, we just met the comments. So that's crazy. And then you know that
Mike Gundy, dude Yeah, the coach from OSU. Yeah, I've heard about that. Yeah,
his he had his spine fell off. Oh dear, of course Yeah, or he never had one
He took off his OAN shirt and then apologized for all the hurt he caused by wearing a t-shirt off
Oh, poor baby.
Did your spine fall off?
What a loser.
Hey Mike, let me ask you a question.
How does it feel to live on your knees?
adam crigler
He got stuck to the shirt when he took it off.
lydia smith
Right, seriously.
tim pool
Yeah, he was pulling his shirt off, it snagged his spine, it just came right out, and then he was like, whoa, I better bend my knees to these people.
Let's be honest, he's bending his knee to that fat million dollar paycheck, whatever he gets paid.
I guess he gets paid millions of dollars to be a coach or something.
adam crigler
Yeah, he doesn't want to lose the best career.
What a loser.
unidentified
You know what, man?
tim pool
I gotta tell you what.
I'm not a fan of OAN.
I don't watch them.
But I'll say this.
You don't deserve to wear their shirt.
And they should be proud that you took it off because you have no spine.
What a loser.
But there's a couple other stories.
Look, man, if you're a leftist and then you come out and you're like, I'm so sorry I offended someone.
I'm like, well, at least you're being true to your own principles.
lydia smith
Seriously.
tim pool
Like you don't want to offend people.
You think other people shouldn't.
And then they call you out and you bend the knee.
I'm like, well, your knee was bent the whole time.
I don't care.
But this guy is supposedly a fan of One American News, conservative Trump supporters.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And then they come for him like, your shirt offends me.
unidentified
He's like, I'm so sorry that my shirt offended you.
tim pool
I'm a loser.
adam crigler
I'm willing to put money on the fact he's going to vote for Trump this year.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Totally.
Absolutely.
adam crigler
Absolutely.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
And you know what?
These people don't deserve it.
They don't deserve to have someone else come and ride on a white horse to save them when they're too stupid to save their own lives.
So you know what?
I hope the money's worth it, bro.
And I hope your kids get to grow up in whatever future you actually think they're going to get.
But the reality is he's leaving behind one of the worst possible futures imaginable.
By bending over backwards because some dude got mad.
I can't believe you wore a t-shirt.
He doesn't understand how offensive that is.
Shut up.
A t-shirt for One American News.
adam crigler
Is this the subject we're going to talk about later?
tim pool
Oh, yeah.
adam crigler
Should we just talk about it now?
tim pool
You're kind of revved up.
No, no, no.
We're going to do this.
unidentified
Hey, hey, hey.
adam crigler
Look at all this gold you just spouted out there.
lydia smith
I know, right?
tim pool
I don't normally insult people, but this was... I've been really pissed off, because listen, man.
When they start trying to get Google to ban rival companies.
And Google's like, okay!
adam crigler
It's like that taxi company you were telling me about.
tim pool
Yeah, in the Murray Hill riots?
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Taxi company.
adam crigler
They burned down their rival.
unidentified
Yep.
lydia smith
That's not cool.
tim pool
So I'll tell you what, man.
For years, people like me have been warning conservatives, and conservatives have been warning conservatives, that if the Republican politicians don't get off their asses and actually try and fix either Section 230 or some kind of antitrust legislation, They will be crushed.
And you know what's funny?
You know who was talking about breaking up Facebook and Google?
Warren, Elizabeth Warren, Ocasio-Cortez, Democrats.
What are the Republicans doing?
There's a bunch of them.
unidentified
They're going like, well, I don't think we should interfere in the market.
tim pool
Oh, yuck.
Okay, dude.
You know, I had an argument with some dude in Milwaukee when I was speaking at this event.
And this conservative guy was arguing with me, saying we shouldn't interfere with private business.
They can choose what they want to do.
And I was like, okay, fine.
I don't care.
I was like, you're the conservative.
So I'll tell you what, in five years when your ideas no longer exist because they've completely obliterated you, I'll keep saying what I want to say because I'll be the one to be banned last.
So I'll still be here.
You guys will be gone.
Your ideas will be gone.
Your culture will be gone.
Fine, whatever.
If you don't care about it, that's what you want.
Now, I think most conservatives are actually like, yo, this is getting out of hand.
But anyway, we'll talk about other stuff.
That's why I'm saying I'm mad about this guy with the shirt.
Because he's supposedly a conservative guy.
And then the first thing he does is he literally crawls to his knees sobbing like a poor baby.
Aw, poor baby.
Anyway, check this out.
We'll get to it.
unidentified
I'll insult him some more later.
tim pool
Let's talk about racism.
You see, these are banned.
These are racist magic cards.
Yeah, now that we're talking about cancel culture.
So I got these cards in the mail.
This one's autographed.
I'm really excited about this.
These are Magic the Gathering cards, and you may have seen our segment where Wedge of the Coast, the company that publishes this game, banned several cards because they said they're racist.
This card is called Imprison.
I have no idea how or why in any way this is racist.
Because of the art?
Because some people happen to be brown?
Is that supposed to be racist?
It's literally just called Imprison.
People go to prison in all different countries on the planet.
There are many white people in prison.
There are Latinos in prison.
There are Asian people in prison.
How about that?
But this one, you can't even see the guy's face.
They banned it.
I got this one.
This is autographed by the artist.
Let's talk about buying some banned art.
Now this one's really funny.
Check this out.
This card is called Jihad.
Now I guess this one's banned for obvious reasons.
Jihad, I guess, is offensive, even though it's a literal thing.
adam crigler
I have the definition right here.
tim pool
What does Jihad mean?
adam crigler
I read it.
Jihad is the Arabic word that literally means striving or struggling, especially with a praiseworthy aim.
tim pool
Praiseworthy.
adam crigler
Praiseworthy.
tim pool
Wow.
And so Magic the Gathering early on, and this is, I think, what, like 1990?
This is like an early card.
It's like 94.
Was Arabian Nights the first expansion?
adam crigler
I don't know.
tim pool
I think it was. Maybe not. I don't recall. This is one of the earliest cards from the 90s and it's literally just
called Jihad.
And its function is to make your creatures stronger when they're targeting a certain color that you choose.
adam crigler
So it's literally like your white creature is stronger. It specifically says that. You're right.
There you go. That's what it is. It makes the white creature stronger.
unidentified
But it's Jihad. It doesn't even make sense. It doesn't really matter.
tim pool
It's like you can't even talk about religious themes at all.
adam crigler
They opened the floodgates because they made their colors that was just a game mechanic.
tim pool
It means white magic.
adam crigler
That separated the different styles of different kind of magic that they created.
They opened it up. So now anything that has to do with white creatures is racist.
Anything that has to do with black creatures is racist.
tim pool
Dude, the whole game is done.
adam crigler
They ruined magic.
I saw this whole thing and it came out and I'm like, wow, they really just effed themselves.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
By saying, oh, this makes white creatures stronger.
Ban it.
It's racist.
All right.
Well, that's like all of white is terrible.
tim pool
Well, it's literally 40% of the game.
adam crigler
White already was kind of the weakest color in Magic.
I mean, that's just a simple fact.
People who play Magic, they probably agree with me.
tim pool
Yep.
adam crigler
It was weak.
So now pretty much anything that makes white stronger, ban it.
So white is just... You know what?
Just get rid of it.
Get rid of white.
Get rid of the color.
The whole color of white.
Just get rid of it.
tim pool
For those that aren't familiar with the game, basically it's called Magic the Gathering.
It's about... I'll simplify it.
Wizards fighting each other, and there's goblins and zombies, and you play cards, and the cards do things.
And there's white magic and black magic.
Hey, just like in the movies!
And then there's red, green, and blue, okay, which is like, you know, fire, earth, and water, whatever.
And they have sub-themes as well.
And so they decided that because the color white can make white creatures stronger.
unidentified
Uh-oh!
tim pool
White creatures!
Ban it!
They started banging the gavel.
We cannot have white creatures.
So I wonder how the game will continue to exist.
If they're literally banning cards because...
adam crigler
That kind of goes as, that kind of goes, it's the dominoes, they're falling.
And it's happening everywhere now.
In all things.
It's not just Magic the Gathering.
Like we take a step back, and you look at all the things that are happening.
It's like statues are being toppled.
It doesn't even matter what the statue's about.
It could be statues of black men that were glorified for being awesome
and being trusted to like, they were like, oh, you know what?
These guys could probably do it.
And they were like, yes, we can.
And they did.
tim pool
And no, what is that you referring to?
adam crigler
It was the 54th.
lydia smith
Oh, right.
adam crigler
What is it?
lydia smith
The 454th battalion.
adam crigler
Right, right.
tim pool
So vandalize it.
adam crigler
Yeah, because back in the day, they were like, oh, we can't trust that they'll these soldiers will fight.
We're just going to send them in the garrison.
It's like, no, these these guys actually went out and fought like true men.
It's like equality.
It's proving equality.
And they they want it all taken down.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
I'm hearing rumors they want to tear down a Lincoln memorial.
adam crigler
Right, exactly.
tim pool
Because that was actually paid for by former slaves honoring Abraham Lincoln for emancipation.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
And they want to tear it down because it shows Abraham Lincoln standing and there's like a slave rising from his knees or something.
Like, so I guess it's racist.
Hold on, man.
You know what?
I think we should help out.
Just, look, why are we going through these motions?
It's a waste of time.
We know where we're heading.
Okay?
Everybody, everybody if you're listening.
No, no, just I want you to go out.
I want you to order a gray jumpsuit with no pockets and no symbols on it.
lydia smith
Okay.
tim pool
All right.
I want it to be, you know, Velcro in the back.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Shave your heads.
Wear the jumpsuit.
Everybody get white slippers.
All right, there you go.
And we'll all live in Soviet-style commune blocks where everyone's got the exact same houses.
adam crigler
And if we find you wearing clothes other than this gray jumpsuit, Canceled.
lydia smith
It's over.
adam crigler
Canceled.
tim pool
You're a Nazi.
adam crigler
You're done.
lydia smith
No more work.
tim pool
Banned.
They're banning everything.
adam crigler
Anything and everything.
tim pool
That's why you're hearing a lot now, people are talking about Mohammed, for instance.
There's offensive things about literally everybody, so they go for the most offensive possible, targeting Islam.
Like, okay, let's go straight for... But it doesn't work that way.
What people need to realize about how these bannings work is that the left is cheating.
Like they don't literally care about these things.
That's why they're out protesting right now in huge rallies.
And they're going, Oh no, Donald Trump's going to have a rally.
What do we do?
It's like, I don't know.
You just had a rally too.
So who cares?
And they're like, well, actually we're braving COVID because we believe in our cause, but Trump shouldn't have a rally.
It's like, what?
You know what, man?
Reality is broken.
It's completely broken.
adam crigler
Yes, it is.
tim pool
Cause the media, I will agree.
It's, I wonder, as like, are there two Brian Stelters?
You know, like, at CNN?
Did, like, reality split and then, like, he, like, separated into two different beings?
One who's like, we mustn't go outside because of COVID, and the other one going, protests are noble and valiant.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Now, I don't actually know what his stance is.
I'm just using his name kind of randomly.
But it's funny to see the, you know, CNN staff Being like, we can't go out because of COVID and Trump is reckless, this needs to stop.
And then also being like, look at all the protesters doing their thing.
And Chris Cuomo being like, yeah, protests!
Who said they're supposed to be peaceful?
It's like CNN split into like bizarro CNN.
adam crigler
Cute, cute ramen man.
lydia smith
Right, we know now.
tim pool
Ramen bro.
adam crigler
Ramen bro.
tim pool
You're the best.
adam crigler
We gotta get that man a beanie.
tim pool
Seriously.
Do you guys see that video of the dude just like sitting there and he's like pouring ramen spice and crunching on ramen?
And then it plays the clip where Cuomo's like, who said protests are supposed to be peaceful?
And then it shows the First Amendment behind him.
He goes, it's the First Amendment.
You just got to look it up, Mr. Cuomo.
adam crigler
No, no.
He says, Mr. Como.
unidentified
Mr. Como.
adam crigler
I was like, yes!
Added insult to injury at the end.
I don't know if you've caught that, but let's do it again.
You'll hear it.
Mr. Como.
I'm like, oh!
unidentified
Why?
tim pool
Did he just pronounce his name wrong or what?
adam crigler
I hope he did.
tim pool
We just gotta look it up.
adam crigler
It was amazing.
tim pool
Could you imagine being an anchor host for the highest-rate CNN show and not having Google?
Or not even knowing what the text of the First Amendment is?
adam crigler
That's pretty embarrassing.
tim pool
I'd be willing to bet if I went to Chris Cuomo and said, can you name all of the rights the First Amendment protects, he'd be like, uh, it's speech.
And I'd be like, right, the other four.
No?
Okay.
adam crigler
Go ahead, name them.
tim pool
It's the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion, the freedom of assembly, the freedom of the press, and the right to a regis of grievances.
adam crigler
Nice.
tim pool
Yeah, that's the first amendment.
unidentified
And the second amendment is... Right to keep and bear arms?
lydia smith
Yes, thank you.
tim pool
Shall not be infringed.
Yeah, but like, it's really astounding to me when I see all these people covering these stories and they're like, they don't know what Google is.
You know, I have to wonder about that.
Have you ever tried, like if, you know what I do when I hear a story?
Someone's like, did you hear about the militia guy who shot somebody?
I'm like...
Whoa.
lydia smith
Open up a browser.
tim pool
I just type it in.
I go, doot, doot, doot, enter.
And then what happens?
unidentified
See a bunch of news.
lydia smith
A whole world of information.
adam crigler
It's funny.
tim pool
It washes over me.
adam crigler
You say Google it, but I don't use Google anymore.
But I still, I still use the term Google it.
lydia smith
It's like a verb.
adam crigler
And it's like, okay, I use Band-Aids.
That's actually not what they are either.
Adhesive bandages.
tim pool
Adhesive strips.
And now Band-Aid is rolling out.
There's like this news release, I guess.
They're doing multi-skin tone Band-Aids.
adam crigler
Oh, really?
tim pool
Yeah, which is just... Oh my gosh.
adam crigler
Just give me Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ones that are good quality and I'm happy.
I don't care.
tim pool
I'll take some Care Bears.
Take some, you know, whatever you have.
As long as it literally covers up the wound.
I'll put some Neosporin on it or something.
But how about you guys who are watching... Adam, can you ask them to do us a favor?
adam crigler
No, I'm not gonna ask them.
unidentified
Tell them!
adam crigler
I'm gonna tell you to smash that like button!
unidentified

tim pool
Smash it!
adam crigler
Yes!
tim pool

lydia smith
Okay, perfect.
tim pool
One person makes the best memes.
adam crigler
Yes.
So I guess we can, ooh, this is nice, look at that.
lydia smith
I have the metallic sharpies, yeah, so we can do the front or the back.
tim pool
What color is that?
Is that magenta?
adam crigler
I don't know, I like it a lot, though.
lydia smith
I love it.
adam crigler
Magenta.
lydia smith
It's nice.
adam crigler
It really brings out my eyes.
lydia smith
It does, yes.
unidentified
There you go.
Okay.
tim pool
This board can be all yours, just send us your best memes.
unidentified
That's right.
Yeah.
tim pool
But don't forget, you can also follow at Sour Patch Lids, L-Y-D-S, for spicy memes on Twitter.
And you can send her story ideas.
lydia smith
Yes, indeed.
tim pool
But let's talk about this dude who got shot, man.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
tim pool
KDAT7 says, cell phone video shows suspect shoving several women down before firing shots.
Now, I chose this story for this segment for a reason, because this is not the only outlet that's trying to make it seem like this guy was the bad guy.
First of all, if you want to be truly fair, you got a conflict going on.
Two different factions arguing over whether the statue should come down or shouldn't come down, and they disagree.
Now, I think to be fair, you've got people trying to break the law, and other people saying, don't break the law.
So, I always err on the side of don't break the law, so of course, I inherently have a bias towards the people saying, hey, stop them from breaking the law.
Now, if you want to start getting into the nitty-gritty of it, all that really matters is when this fight breaks out, this dude in blue, which they have circled right here, runs away.
They chase after him, yelling, we're going to kill you, and start beating him with a skateboard, and then he draws his weapon, and it looks like he's hitting the face or something, and then he makes four shots, critically injuring a man.
So he's in critical but stable condition, I don't know, I mean, I hope the guy's okay, but listen, This is a lesson, man, and I mean this in all seriousness.
This is what happens when people without guns start fights with people who have guns.
That should be a very important lesson.
You know these guys are armed.
Don't run after them screaming, you will kill them, because self-defense.
adam crigler
I didn't look like he was armed.
They didn't know he was armed.
But that's not the important thing here.
tim pool
Right, it doesn't matter if he was or wasn't.
adam crigler
Right, correct.
This is exactly what I've been talking about.
This is what's gonna happen.
tim pool
They're gonna show up and guns are gonna go blazing.
adam crigler
They're gonna start meeting up.
Now they're gonna meet up with people that have guns.
And they're gonna start getting killed.
Cities, you're not allowed to have a gun in New York.
You're not allowed to have a gun.
All the guns that are in New York are either cops or illegal.
tim pool
Well, no, I think there was a Supreme Court ruling not that long ago, and I think now they're forced to somehow allow weapons.
I'm pretty sure.
adam crigler
In New York City?
Everywhere.
tim pool
I'm pretty sure, yeah.
adam crigler
I haven't seen that one.
I lived in New York for a long time, and I was under the impression there's no guns allowed.
At all.
That's what stop and frisk was for, wasn't it?
tim pool
To get rid of- Illegal guns.
adam crigler
Illegal guns, okay.
tim pool
So, I know New York is really, really strict, but I remember growing up in Chicago, they had insane gun laws.
And then there was a Supreme Court ruling saying you can't stop people from bearing arms, so Chicago freaked out and tried passing a whole bunch of crazy gun laws to make weird loopholes to block people.
Like, okay, you can own a gun, but it's gotta be like this shape, and it's gotta be like this size, and it's gotta be in your trunk, and stuff like that.
And then what happened was, I guess that got struck down too.
And now you can concealed carry in Chicago, I'm pretty sure.
And so all these businesses started putting up signs saying no guns allowed in their businesses.
So that they can, you know, they can't stop you from walking around with one.
But most of the businesses in Chicago are like, you can't come in my building because it's private property.
lydia smith
Yeah, so it says, uh, I found an article that says in much of the country, cities can't enact their own gun laws.
So it looks like there's a preemption laws that limit local regulations of firearms, which must've been what you're talking about.
That's from 2018.
Does that sound about right for timeframe?
adam crigler
Yep, I had already left New York by that point.
lydia smith
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
tim pool
Okay, that makes sense.
So I don't know, but check this out, check this out.
My main concern here, as I agree with you about the gun thing, these people are going
to get a cold splash of water in the face, to put it lightly, when they start showing
up in New Mexico and other, you know, I'll put it this way.
This is actually funny.
I pulled up these, I got these two Wikipedia pages.
New Mexico, Albuquerque specifically, is 40% Democratic, 34 Republican, and 25% unaffiliated.
Not the most democratic place.
Philadelphia actually is.
82% presidential election, Democrat.
That surprised me.
And even in Philadelphia, armed men are showing up to defend statues.
So I'll tell you what man, people, you only need 10 people who are It doesn't matter what their politics are.
Ten people to say, yo, you can't come and destroy this statue.
For these people to get a cold, you know, wake-up call when someone's like, um, you come at me, I'll defend myself.
Now, but this is funny, check it out.
The article here is trying to blame the dude.
And here's what I find fascinating.
I'm going to play this clip for you.
So in this clip, they circle it.
They're desperately trying to justify this guy as the bad guy.
But you can clearly see in many of these videos, it's actually the women attacking this dude.
adam crigler
It's actually the same woman.
tim pool
Over and over again.
So look, they're shoving him around.
And then hit him with a skateboard.
adam crigler
He straight up swung it at him.
tim pool
Look at this, dude.
You can see it.
So watch.
The guy in blue.
Now watch his skateboard come for his face.
He swung a skateboard at him. Dude runs away.
lydia smith
You can- Chased by a woman.
adam crigler
You can really hurt somebody with a skateboard.
tim pool
Oh dude.
adam crigler
Like, seriously hurt somebody.
tim pool
Like you can kill somebody with a skateboard.
adam crigler
Absolutely.
Yeah.
The trucks are heavy.
I mean, yeah, a board by itself, if you swing it on the edge, it's like, that can hurt.
But then you add the weight of the trucks.
unidentified
Dude.
adam crigler
And you hit them with the trucks too.
That was a truck hit to the face.
tim pool
That's serious.
So the truck gets the metal part on the bottom.
If you go a full swing with that, like a baseball bat, death shot.
Kill shot.
adam crigler
Hit him right in the nose.
tim pool
Oh yeah, dude.
adam crigler
Force it in the brain.
tim pool
So this guy's running away, right?
adam crigler
Kill him.
Easy.
tim pool
What do we got here?
This is a Facebook video.
And it's funny.
Look at this.
Steve Baca before he shot the protester.
lydia smith
What a jerk.
tim pool
So look, they saw him shove that woman, right?
But wait for it.
She's grabbing him and he pushes her off.
And it looks like he says, don't touch me.
adam crigler
And also notice how that video cut in right then.
So you can't see her grabbing him?
Yeah.
How long was that going on?
I've seen this too often where suddenly another video will surface where it's like three minutes longer and you're like, Oh, what's this?
Then you see the whole thing.
tim pool
Propaganda, man.
adam crigler
Man.
tim pool
But to be fair, take a look at this next part.
It looks like he does grab this woman right here.
He, looks like he instigated that attack on her.
adam crigler
Yep, definitely, I agree.
tim pool
So, so check it out.
She's climbing up and then he goes up behind her and grabs her.
adam crigler
Yep, not cool.
tim pool
Not a saint!
Dude's clearly not a saint.
adam crigler
Yep.
Well, tensions are clearly rising throughout all of this.
tim pool
Look at that, he pulls her down.
Not cool, bro.
So he should definitely get charged for that, in my opinion.
lydia smith
That's assault, technically, I think.
tim pool
But check this out.
adam crigler
Well, they're all assaulting each other.
It's like, I'm not saying anyone's right here.
They're all assaulting each other.
The one thing I did notice is he walked away after someone already swung a skateboard at him.
tim pool
He runs away.
adam crigler
Yeah, he went to leave.
And then they're like, let's get him.
tim pool
No, they said, we're gonna kill you.
adam crigler
You're right.
Even more damning.
So that's what you say to someone?
What do you think's gonna happen?
That right there, hearing that, someone say that, he should fear for his life then.
If they said, let's kill this dude.
lydia smith
Yeah, that's a credible threat, right?
adam crigler
And then they start beating him with a skateboard.
He pulls a gun and shoots him.
I am not surprised.
That's exactly what I've been worried about happening.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
And this won't be the last time, man.
adam crigler
I agree.
tim pool
So here's the other funny thing that happens.
Even I was calling this guy a militia guy because that's what the news was reporting.
Because a group called the New Mexico Civil Guard showed up to defend the statue.
Eventually they stopped.
So I don't know what their deal was entirely.
adam crigler
Stopped defending it, you mean?
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I think they were not so heavily, like, there to just defend the statue.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
They were there because there were no cops, and these protesters were marching around, and there'd be riots.
And they actually walked away and were going to sit back and watch them tear the statue down.
This guy apparently has nothing to do with them.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And so the media reported that this guy was part of the militia.
He's apparently not.
The militia guys were wearing camo.
This guy was wearing a blue shirt.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So they actually published this message, the New Mexico Civil Guard.
They said, There's a lot of speculation encircling the shooting in Albuquerque.
I want to let everyone know the shooter was not a member of NMCG.
Our guys held him at gunpoint until the police arrived.
NMCG was not involved in the shooting.
It was a moment of chaos and our members took point to prevent any more rounds from being fired and to stop the angry mob from continuing to attack.
Edit.
Our members had stepped away from the protesters, stepped back to watch them pull the statue down.
They were nowhere near the shooter.
They ran towards the shooter when they heard the shots, disarmed the shooter, preventing any more protesters from being shot.
They circled the shooter to prevent any of the protesters from their continuing attacks.
Our members did not pick a side.
They stopped the violence on both sides.
And I want to add too, in the video you can see the New Mexico Civil Guard actually renders aid to the man who got shot.
adam crigler
I saw that.
tim pool
So I believe them.
I do.
I don't think this guy had anything to do with it.
Yeah.
I think this guy was like, don't tear the statues down.
And then they started, everybody started hitting each other, man.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
So they're hitting him.
He's hitting back.
You know, he pulls a woman down.
Someone swings a board his face.
They push him around.
He runs away.
They chase after him saying, you know, we're going to kill you.
They actually start beating on him.
Pulls out his gun.
Pop, pop, pop, pop.
That's it.
And these guys stepped in and got the guy on the ground.
The guy immediately puts his hands behind his back.
adam crigler
He wasn't running.
He shot and then just sat down.
tim pool
And you saw him.
adam crigler
He was just sitting there.
They were running from him.
He was probably like, I'm glad I didn't just die.
tim pool
So this guy apparently got charged with aggravated battery.
That's what I saw so far.
They say, uh, you know, what's really crazy is that the city immediately demonized the militia that they were instigating or something like that.
And it's like, man, how crazy is that?
Like these guys now putting a statement like this is not one of our guys.
Like we, we, we stopped the violence and held this guy for the police to come and get them.
adam crigler
Yeah, how are they spinning that, though?
That's like, this is what we're going to have if there's no police.
It's going to be these militiamen.
Listen, man, they're actually doing a pretty legit job.
Now they're going to demonize them.
It's like, what do they want?
tim pool
I can tell you exactly why the mayor of this town said the problem was the militia.
Because people like Mike Gundy have no spine.
So for those that were listening in the previous, for those that weren't, Mike Gundy, his coach, wore a t-shirt, got attacked for it, and then apologized.
Just today he apologized.
I'm so sorry for hurting people's feelings for wearing a t-shirt from OAN.
adam crigler
I don't think I heard him say that.
I think he did like this.
I'm going to have to go rewatch it, because I kind of came in while you were watching it, and from what I heard, it sounded like he was just kind of saying, I'm sorry for the things you're going through kind of vibe.
tim pool
We'll talk about that.
adam crigler
I don't know if it's better.
tim pool
The reason I bring it up, though, is just as another example of a high profile individual who immediately gets on his knees groveling for forgiveness from a mob that doesn't care.
So when the mayor sees that there is absolutely no support or spine from the conservatives who get targeted, They say, I'm not gonna, who's got my back on this one?
You know, if a guy who's a fan of even OAN won't tell everyone to shut up.
adam crigler
Well, what about this whole Tucker Carlson thing?
tim pool
Tucker doesn't back down, that's for sure.
adam crigler
Yeah, but, and I see so many people that are coming to his defense.
So, that's proof that it is out there.
They are standing up for him.
tim pool
There are a lot of people.
I guess the issue is conservatives are more likely to be, I don't know, keyboard warriors, I guess.
adam crigler
Or the lack of it.
I feel like a lot of them don't have Twitter.
They may have Facebook with small circles, but aren't on the internet.
They're just not living life.
tim pool
Right, that's true.
And they have kids and families and they have jobs.
adam crigler
Did you just agree with me?
tim pool
Yeah, and also I think I think I will say a breath of fresh air to be fair to the conservatives, too There's a threat to your children.
So a lot of people don't want to step up but also it's Antifa will use violence against them if they come out, and they will be demonized by the press if they try to defend themselves, just like this story.
So there really is a disadvantage.
In my opinion, you still have to just speak up.
If people like this Gundy guy or Drew Brees or whoever else just told everyone to shut up, then this would not be happening.
If you bend the knee, you lose, and everyone loses around you.
But check this out, just check this out, because I want to jump into this idea.
We had more guys show up in Philly.
Now this I find truly fascinating in reference to what's going on with this New Mexico stuff.
When these guys from Unicorn Riot came down, they got smacked around a little bit.
I'm not happy about it.
I think that's complete BS.
These dudes down in South Philly should not be whacking, putting on masks, threatening a dude who's filming.
Telling him stop filming and stuff and they're pushing his camera and they're grabbing his bike.
So, it's like what Antifa does.
adam crigler
And they slash the bike tires, too.
tim pool
Is that what they did?
Dude, that's gross, man.
adam crigler
Like, why?
What are you doing?
You want him to leave, but now you cut his transportation?
tim pool
Let him walk around with his camera!
Who cares, dude?
Is this guy really a threat to you?
adam crigler
Alright, I don't get it.
tim pool
But I'll tell you what, man.
They call these guys far-right.
They literally are tweeting far-right and right-wing extremists or whatever.
It's like, dude, you're in Philadelphia.
82% Democrat.
These guys are not Republicans.
These are like union Democrats.
They're like union boys, man.
I'm assuming these guys work for some trade and manufacturing.
They work probably in offices too, machine shops, like regular dudes.
They're wearing football shirts and stuff.
They think these guys are Republicans who are far right?
That's insane, man.
They're gonna get a rude awakening when they realize, you know, even regular Democrats, they're gonna come out with baseball bats and they're gonna smack you up a little bit.
adam crigler
Right.
The Democrats are fighting each other.
tim pool
Yeah.
Yeah, that's for sure, man.
I love this.
I pulled up the demographics for Philadelphia, and I find it hilarious.
It's 82.3% Democrat.
Look at that.
Okay, so let's be fair.
Maybe these guys who showed up fall into the, you know, several hundred of the 108,000 Republicans.
It's possible.
lydia smith
There's a chance, yeah.
tim pool
For sure, yeah.
I mean, it's a decently good chance.
adam crigler
Sure.
tim pool
I gotta say, though, I don't think these guys are political.
I think, for the most part, dudes showed up when they said, some crazy jerks want to come and smash up our town.
So they came out with baseball bats.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
Dude, I remember I was at a protest on the south side of Chicago.
Chicago of all places, which is like as blue as blue can be.
And a bunch of these far leftists were walking down Halstead on the south side in Bridgeport.
Now for those that aren't familiar with Bridgeport, it's south side Irish.
It's by the U.S.
Cellular Field.
It used to be called Comiskey Park or whatever.
It's where the Sox play.
This is a bunch of low-income Irish people on the south side of Chicago, and a bunch of commie, far-left, anti-capitalists start marching through screaming.
And you know what happened?
unidentified
Fight.
tim pool
Oh yeah, they came out and they pulled their shirts off and they started just boxing people and punching them.
lydia smith
That sounds like Irish people.
tim pool
I'm like so I lived I I've lived I used to live over there for briefly and I knew some of these guys and Like they're they're they're Irish not from Ireland.
You know, I mean like they're they're They're they're you know, great-grandparents or grandparents are Irish.
So they're Americans They're Americans, but I mean like they're they literally called they call it the South Side Irish That's like they refer to themselves that way.
Okay, it's this area where they're all very proud of their heritage and a bunch of and a bunch of commies show up screaming in their
neighborhood and then the cops are coming out and they come out and they're like, what are you doing? Like,
what are you doing in our neighborhood, man? Who do you think you are? These are people who do not
mess around. These are not Republicans.
Yeah. These people, if they even vote, probably vote Democrat.
And a bunch of far leftists showed up. They started boxing them out.
And they beat the crap out of some of these people.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's interesting.
A lot of these issues or things that we're seeing, it's not even a political thing anymore.
They live in their neighborhood.
They could be Democrat or Republican, but they're probably friends with Jimmy over there, who's Democrat, and Johnny over here, who's Republican.
Well, they're all going to group up and be like, you're going to come into our neighborhood.
We're gonna box you.
tim pool
I'll tell you what.
adam crigler
And that's in a blue state.
Right.
Now we see when it starts getting into the country where it's a little more purple, they start to pull out guns.
Then you go a little further.
See what happens.
tim pool
You see what happens when these people riot in downtown Chicago or in Manhattan.
And the cops are like, oh, we better back off.
What do we do?
And they just let them riot.
I got some advice for all these people, man.
If you're listening and you're one of these Antifa people, man, heed my warning.
You definitely do not want to go into South Philly.
You definitely do not want to go to South Halsted in Chicago and bring that riot to Bridgeport and there are going to be people rolling up with big illegal guns.
lydia smith
They will be happy to see you.
tim pool
Dude, the people in that neighborhood, I've seen them pull their cars over for minor squabbles and pull out a chain and wrap it around their arm and start swinging it and slamming it.
Oh my gosh.
Dude, this is South Side of Chicago, man.
These are people who are like, you don't disrespect me.
You know what I mean?
And I gotta admit, I don't like the violence, but what I love about America is that you can be a poor person on the South Side in one of these neighborhoods and tell the rich dude, go F yourself.
These people come in.
You bring that riot to the local pub, No one's going to see you ever again, dude.
adam crigler
Someone tweeted at me the other day, because I've kind of been saying this, like, you're going to go, you're going to meet some real Americans, and you're not going to be happy.
lydia smith
You're not going to like it.
adam crigler
Someone tweeted at me, they were like, yeah, I haven't gotten any good aiming practice since 73, and it's like, oh.
tim pool
This actually gives me hope, this South Philly stuff.
Because as much as I'm worried that these high-level institutions are being taken over by lunatics and cancel culture is getting serious, they're trying to ban conservative news websites now.
I imagine if it ever really got to the point, like when I think about some of these neighborhoods like South Philly, If they actually came out and said, we're banning all hate speech, they'd immediately start screaming and throwing bricks at them.
The riots would be out of hand from people like these South Philly guys.
They'd come out with guns and be like, I don't care.
I literally don't.
And they'd walk up to these crazy SJW, you know, commies and just be like, nope!
So this is the interesting thing, these people aren't activated.
You know?
adam crigler
That's it.
tim pool
They go to work, they go home, they hang out with their kids and their family, they vote, they watch the game, but now the game's politicized.
adam crigler
Oh, I'm telling you now though, they're waking up.
tim pool
Yeah, because they're football players, they want to watch the game, and instead they're talking about social justice.
unidentified
Ugh.
tim pool
So I can imagine there's some, like, dude who's, like, 40 years old and got a big, you know, beard, belly, just got back from work, sits down, cracks open a Miller or something, or a High Life, and he's, like, he flicks on the TV, and then he's, like, yeah, let's, let's, you guys want to watch the game?
He turns it on, and it's, like, now, my question about racial justice has to do with how many police departments do we really need?
And they're, like, what is this?
Change of channel?
Next channel?
Well, when the players kneel, what they're really saying is, what is this, dude?
Can we watch some football or something?
I can imagine what they must be thinking when they show up to a Christopher Columbus statue with baseball bats and masks and guns.
These people aren't Republicans, man.
unidentified
Over it.
tim pool
Yep.
And I wonder, you know how you see riots when a football team wins or loses?
Yep.
That feeling these people have where they're willing to riot for literally nothing.
What do you think is going to happen when you take that game away from them?
They're not gonna be riding with you, dude.
They're not gonna be screaming Antica Pitalista or Smash the Patriarchy.
They're gonna be just screaming and foaming at the mouth, waving baseball bats around, and they're gonna come for you.
So this gives me hope, it does.
You know, I recall my old days living on the south side of Chicago, and I'm like, These people don't pay attention.
And I imagine if they were forced to pay attention, all of these far-lefty crazy people would really regret it.
Dude, I'll tell you what, too, especially the Italians.
I think that's probably what we see in South Philly because Christopher Columbus was put up, there was a lobbying campaign by Italian-American groups to have some kind of Italian, you know, icon, I guess.
unidentified
Oh, cool.
tim pool
That's my general understanding of it.
I could be wrong, but something like that.
And now you've got people coming in and literally trying to target your family's heritage or whatever.
unidentified
Oh.
tim pool
Yeah, they're not going to stand for it, dude.
Things are gonna get spicy, to say the least.
But let's do this.
Let's talk about the next wave of cancel culture.
lydia smith
Ooh, let's do it.
tim pool
This story is probably one of the craziest stories I have ever seen.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And they've walked it back already.
Check this out.
NBC News says Google bans website ZeroHedge from its ad platform over comments on protest articles.
A Google spokesperson said in an email that it took action after determining the website violated its policies on content related to race.
When they initially reported this, they also added the Federalist was banned.
And they admit, the reporter claimed that they were working in tandem with an activist organization, I believe a UK-based activist organization, and a US-based activist organization, contacting Google with a list of websites that they want banned, and Google said yes.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Yes.
adam crigler
So, Tim, who's our competition?
We should write a letter.
tim pool
Oh, that's a good idea.
Crowder!
Steven Crowder!
adam crigler
Google!
Hey, Google!
No, no, sorry, no.
Crowder, you're awesome.
tim pool
No, they already went after him.
Now Crowder's mad at us.
I'm just kidding.
But that's the game, right?
Who's the limousine to our taxi cab company?
The Murray Hill Rides.
Now, I'm not super concerned.
I guess it's technically NBC.
So, should we start a non-profit charity organization called, like, you know, Ending Hate and Sending Love?
And then we'll target anything that NBC ever does where we're like, mmm, they're so bigoted.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Google, are you really gonna search and, you know, index this so that people can find this?
And then one by one.
Now, I don't actually think it's a good idea, but NBC is doing this and they actually say that there's like a list of ten websites.
Let me see if it's, uh...
lydia smith
Oh, HitList.
tim pool
Yep, they're HitList.
They changed the article because they were wrong.
What's interesting, though, is they changed it from two websites to just Zero Hedge.
And the other thing is, they were claiming victory.
Like, we teamed up and we did it!
Yahoo!
It's like, actually, Google says they banned Zero Hedge last week.
unidentified
Wow.
Oh.
tim pool
Yeah.
lydia smith
Wow.
Fail at every point.
tim pool
Yeah, so NBC, nah, sorry.
But check this out, they say, Google also issued a warning on Tuesday to The Federalist over comments on articles related to recent posts.
Wait a minute!
lydia smith
Comments?
tim pool
Doesn't Google like Section 230?
Google wants to hold a website responsible for the content of other people?
lydia smith
Whoa.
tim pool
Amazing, isn't it?
lydia smith
This is so weird.
tim pool
I'm so sick of this.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Non-stop.
unidentified
disgusting Google. I'm so sick of this. Yeah. Google, Google will go to a
tim pool
hearing where they're like under section 230 protections, we can't be
held responsible for the content posted by other people.
unidentified
But everyone else and then they look over and say now they
tim pool
As it should.
content posted by other people on your website, well for us that's fair game.
You know, because we're in charge.
Well now Donald Trump Jr. tweeted like, in response to this story, because it freaked
everybody out.
Yeah.
Dude, I think Google did ban the Federalist.
I think they did.
I think so too.
So the initial report said that Google confirmed they banned the Federalist.
And there's even a statement.
Look at this.
We have strict publisher policies that govern the content ads can run on and explicitly prohibit derogatory content that promotes hatred, intolerance, violence, or discrimination based on race from monetizing.
When a page or site violates our policies, we take action.
In this case, we've removed both sites' ability to monetize.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
Wait a minute.
adam crigler
So it says it there.
tim pool
But NBC says just zero hedge.
They say they just issued a warning to the Federalists.
unidentified
Wait, wait, wait.
adam crigler
Didn't they tweet out?
Didn't Google tweet out, we did not demonetize?
unidentified
Yep.
adam crigler
But it says it right there, they did.
tim pool
Exactly.
So is NBC lying?
adam crigler
Who's lying?
They're both lying.
tim pool
I don't think NBC would make up this email because that's libelous and they could easily be targeted by Google.
Here's what I think.
When this story broke, I immediately tweeted it out.
NBC News contacted Google to target their competition to get them banned and Google said yes.
Thousands of retweets very, very quickly.
The story exploded.
So many people were blasting it out.
Then all of a sudden, like an hour later, Google goes, no, we didn't ban anybody.
What do you mean?
This is clearly a misunderstanding.
I think I have the tweet here.
Yes.
The Federalist, what's next?
We worked with them to address issues on their site related to the comment section.
Our policies do not allow ads to run against dangerous or derogatory content, which includes comments on sites.
Cake and eat it too, to say the least.
Google, you're nasty.
And we offer guidance and best practices to publishers on how to comply.
As the comment section has now been removed, we consider this matter resolved and no action will be taken.
I am sad to see that the Federalists had to remove their comment section, but I gotta be honest, I don't care for comment sections anyway.
And there's other ways the Federalists can resolve this, but I still think it's complete BS.
The Federalists should not have had to remove their comment section because they're protected under Section 230, but Google doesn't care.
Now I'm gonna tell you what I think happened.
adam crigler
No, Google thinks they're above it.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
And there's a difference.
lydia smith
They got the power.
unidentified
Check this out.
adam crigler
They care.
They care.
If it does affect them, but they are above it.
They're like, we're not even affected by this.
tim pool
In that line of thinking, here's what I think happened.
I think Google was like, uh oh, we're getting hit up by NBC, better ban them.
And did.
And they said they did to NBC.
But then, all of a sudden, a trend emerged on Twitter, showing that this was one of the biggest mistakes Google made in terms of banning some kind of platform.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
And then they realized, we're gonna lose more money.
adam crigler
Yep.
Quick!
unidentified
Quick!
Go back!
Go back!
We went too far!
adam crigler
They flicked Domino down, the first one.
And it's like, that's what we were talking about with the magic, Wizards of the Coast, earlier.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
They banned a bunch of cards that didn't make any sense.
Just because it revolved around a color of identity of a creature.
there's five colors in magic so one of those is white now now if you're white you're racist
and like we ok so you're adding racism into the game by doing that so google
is basically shooting yourself in the foot here was worse than that you know
tim pool
if you have worse way worse i think some dom
really dumb Hair on fire.
content moderator person gets the email and they go, oh yeah, I'll delete Federalist, deleted, we deleted them.
And then the lawyers for Google got wind of it when the story broke and they went, oh dear God,
the FTC is going to drop a hammer on us and we are now going to be regulated.
Welcome to the club, Google.
There is nothing you can do at this point.
You know what?
I gotta be honest.
I'd like to say that Google will now be regulated to some extreme degree or even broken up.
I don't believe it because I think the GOP is particularly ineffective.
So they're not gonna do anything.
I mean, look what they did with two years of controlling every branch of government.
Or the House in the Senate, I should say, specifically.
lydia smith
Yeah, they did nothing.
tim pool
Nothing.
They wasted... I mean, to be fair, you had, you know, what, Paul Ryan and who else was still there?
A bunch of them retired because they were losers.
So maybe they're doing better now, to be fair.
I'm not confident they're gonna do anything.
I do think people like Trump Jr.
I know Trump Jr.
is particularly active in all this stuff.
He's up on it.
Yeah, and he's done stuff with Dave Rubin about this kind of stuff.
So I think he's paying attention.
And he just tweeted out in response to this, it's time to haul them into, you know, subpoena them and get the CEO, because they're out of control.
Yes.
unidentified
Hear, hear.
tim pool
I think they banned the Federalist, and then when the lawyer found out, they were probably like... Quickly!
Quickly!
lydia smith
Switch it back!
tim pool
They convened a huge meeting, probably got it convened, and they were like, oh no.
Who did it?
Who did it?
unidentified
You're gone.
lydia smith
You're fired.
adam crigler
You're out.
lydia smith
So fired.
adam crigler
I'm sure.
tim pool
No, I don't know about getting fired, because it was the policy.
It was a matter of time before they went too far.
You know what's crazy?
It's like, I'm worried about getting banned, The Federalist is conservative, and NewsGuard gives a negative rating to the Federalist, but it's still extremely high-profile.
You've got Sean Davis and you've got Molly Hemingway, very, very high-profile conservative personalities.
And Molly is like, yeah, seriously.
She's talented, yeah.
Some conservatives have praised her as being one of the best writers, and she's appeared on Fox News.
So, this is like Google went way over the red line.
And now, I think you might start seeing Republicans be like, oh, you mean we're actually in trouble?
You see, the GOP didn't really do much when it was Paul Joseph Watson, or Milo Yiannopoulos, or Laura Loomer.
It was like, oh, these people got banned.
Well, I'll give them a stern talking to.
But now they're coming for the Federalists.
Now you're probably going to see some of these more mainstream Republicans start sweating bullets like, oh, whoa, whoa.
lydia smith
Are they really going to have to do something?
tim pool
Yeah.
Or not.
That's like, am I going to get reelected?
Because is Google only going to allow far left propaganda to get monetized and conservative point of view will just be erased?
Yeah.
Maybe they're not realizing what's really going to happen.
adam crigler
Maybe from the people that watch mainstream media.
tim pool
Yep.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Dude, it's ridiculous.
adam crigler
What's the percentage of people you think that actually watch mainstream media, though?
tim pool
It's a lot.
adam crigler
Just curious.
tim pool
What do you think?
adam crigler
80%?
80% of Americans, you think, watch mainstream media?
tim pool
Not to what degree is the bigger question.
I think most Americans probably passively will have the news playing from some standard network outlet.
And they're gonna get fed some trash news.
And I think it's one of the reasons why Sinclair has been buying up a lot of local news stations.
Sinclair is considered to be more conservative.
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
Because they know that the average person is just watching Fox or ABC or CBS or something.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Liberals get 95% of their news from left-wing outlets and mainstream outlets.
Moderates, 60% mainstream left, 30% conservative.
And conservatives is inverted.
60% conservative, 30% liberal mainstream.
And then there's like, you know, a breakdown of some other, you know, the remaining 10%.
That makes sense.
Moderates and conservatives get along on a lot of issues, disagree on some issues, and they get their news from slightly different places, but understand each other.
The left doesn't know at all what's going on.
At all.
Like, I'll tell you what, man.
My activist-y friends who are, like, super into Black Lives Matter are still posting to this day.
That a man fell asleep in a Wendy's parking lot and then was shot and killed by a cop.
adam crigler
Wow.
And I'm like- Nothing about his DUI?
You left out the part- Or his, rather, second DUI?
tim pool
Well, hold on.
You left out the part where he was in the drive-thru lane with his car running, drunk.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Sleeping.
Right.
Passed out drunk.
I wouldn't want to call it sleeping, you know?
adam crigler
Good point.
tim pool
And then you also left with the part where he has a violent history and they called for backup.
adam crigler
He was out on parole.
tim pool
He beat two cops in a fight when they tried to restrain him.
He did.
Stole the weapon.
Ran, turned around and fired it at the cop.
And then only after all of these things did the cop respond.
So that's because they don't actually read the news.
adam crigler
Yeah, they don't care to.
But I said earlier, the narrative must fit their narrative or else and they'll carve and take the whole story and cherry pick all the things, put it together in a nice little package.
tim pool
There you go.
adam crigler
Pass it around.
tim pool
Did you hear about Fox News and the Photoshop scandal?
adam crigler
uh... what with the is that i have a gun on the on the chat that says a photo
tim pool
of the jazz and a photoshopped one of the john brown gun club guys i guess
the night i didn't hear about this now so fox used a thumbnail for some
articles ok that showed
one of the guys guns at dot dot at the chance to chop in front of like a burr ability that was destroyed
It was very clearly, in my opinion, not a direct representation of what was going on.
It was just, like, a thumbnail graphic that many news outlets often do.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Where they make what they call a collage.
Now, this one was very, like, borderline, in my opinion.
Like, from far away, if you scrolled through, it might look like there was an armed guy standing in front of a destroyed building.
But, I would say every single news outlet has a graphics department, and they do similar things, but I think Fox News got, you know, they were either just at the line slightly over it or whatever, so there was some, you know, something to call out.
But I talked to some people and they're like, that proves Fox News is completely fake!
And I'm like, it's one, it's one thing.
It's like one thing that happened one time.
adam crigler
From one person.
tim pool
Right.
It was like one... So, like, we can talk about the things Fox has got wrong.
They have.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
We can talk about New York Times, CNN, MSNBC.
If you want to talk about getting something wrong, let's talk about MSNBC.
lydia smith
Oh, yeah.
tim pool
But they don't want to talk about it.
They're like, well, I'm talking about Fox News right now.
And I'm like, yep, Fox News gets things wrong.
It happens.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Are you satisfied?
No, you still want to act like Fox News is the worst of the worst?
They're not.
MSNBC is way worse.
And Fox... Actually, I'm sorry.
MSNBC is not news.
adam crigler
I'm just so sick of this blame game.
That's what everyone does.
It's this person's fault.
It's this person's fault.
I don't have any ideas.
I don't want to actually work towards anything.
I just want to blame.
The blame game.
tim pool
It's easier.
It's a lot easier.
adam crigler
It's frustrating.
tim pool
Check this out.
I want to highlight this right here.
The NBC says Google's ban comes after the company was notified of research conducted by the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a British non-profit, that combats online hate and misinformation.
They found that 10 US-based websites have published what they say are racist articles about the protests, and projected that the websites would make millions of dollars through Google ads.
The NBC reporter who wrote this claimed they worked together.
Overt activism.
unidentified
Wow.
adam crigler
Overt.
Worked with Google?
tim pool
No, worked with the activists to label, to target.
So what they did was they claimed initially, and I believe this is true, that because of two articles the Federalists wrote claiming the media had lied about what was going on with Black Lives Matter protests, they submitted those articles to Google and then Google said they banned the Federalists.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
Now Google's trying to walk it back.
Maybe it's a good thing that Google is walking it back.
Maybe it's a good thing.
Maybe it shows that there is a hard line.
Could be a bad thing.
Maybe it shows that Google has no, like, they have a line that they're willing to cross, but they went too fast, and maybe they'll just keep doing it.
adam crigler
It looks more like Google, like a chunk of their armor fell off and they're scrambling to put it back on.
It's not like they're walking back.
I mean, sure, technically speaking they are, but it feels like they are like, whoa, whoa, this is a threat to our...
It was too fast.
Okay.
in the media realm.
lydia smith
It was too fast.
tim pool
Let's talk about one of the better responses from Mike Cernovich.
He responded directly to their tweet, Enjoy being regulated because it's going to happen.
GOP is too weak but Democrats will take up the action and Google won't have a friend
in the world.
Yep.
Elizabeth Warren wanted to do it.
You know, it's really funny.
Mark Zuckerberg and a lot of these big tech companies were like, we must take a hard stance on hate speech.
And then all of a sudden Elizabeth Warren and some Democrats come out and they're like, we're going to break up Google and Facebook and regulate.
And then all of a sudden Mark Zuckerberg comes out with the PSA.
I've had time to think about it.
Free speech is paramount and very important.
And what he was really doing was like, I'm really hoping that the Republicans win because the Democrats are going to break up my company.
And so please, someone help Donald Trump win.
And then now, so they started defending free speech, even after they already banned a ton of people.
But now they're backtracking saying we're appalled by Donald Trump's statements.
They can't figure out who's going to win.
That's the funny thing.
adam crigler
They can't figure out- Who's they?
The media?
tim pool
No, no, no, Zuckerberg.
adam crigler
Oh, yeah.
lydia smith
Big tech peeps.
tim pool
Big tech.
unidentified
Yeah, they're like, who do we put our eggs in their basket?
tim pool
They're leaning to the left because they're convinced Trump will lose.
But then as soon as the left said, we're going to regulate you, they were like, ah!
And then they went to the middle and they're like, what do we do?
unidentified
What do we do?
lydia smith
It's true.
unidentified
It's coming.
tim pool
The end is near.
So this is funny.
Google actually hired some people specifically to liaise with moderate and conservative commentary channels.
adam crigler
Interesting.
When was that?
tim pool
Last year.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I can't say too much about it, but I know they did.
And that says to me, I think they're worried about Trump getting re-elected, and they're worried about this.
And now I think it might be too late, man.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
I'm not convinced, like I agree with Mike, with Cernovich, that the Republican, the GOP is too weak.
They just, I don't even know what the GOP is doing to be honest.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
That's the other thing I talk about, like when people are like,
why are you always ragging on the Democrats, Tim?
I'm like, what are the Republicans doing?
lydia smith
They're just literally not doing a thing.
tim pool
Literally doing nothing.
Yeah, it's like all you have is the conservatives being like,
look at all these problems for the Democrats.
And then you have, to be fair, you have Rand Paul blocking things, but that's good.
That is taking action.
Ted Cruz has called this out.
Matt Gaetz and Josh Hawley.
But other than that, it's like nothing's really happened in four years.
This stuff's been going on since, what, 2013, 2012?
Oh yeah.
Escalating, getting worse and worse and worse.
It's truly incredible.
adam crigler
I mean, if you really want to talk about it, like, real reform.
Like, nothing's really changed in a lot longer time than that.
20 years.
30 years.
Like, what really has changed?
tim pool
What do you mean?
A lot's changed.
In terms of government?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I mean, like, Glass-Steagall repeal and the allowing of banks to use savings for futures, investments, or whatever they did.
That supposedly contributed to the financial collapse, essentially using people's money.
I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on that stuff.
But there have been a bunch of dramatic changes.
Barack Obama changing the rule on the definitions of words in healthcare.
Title IX reform flipping back and forth.
A ton of stuff that's actually changed.
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
Obamacare, for instance.
So we've actually gone through a ton of different changes.
We've gone backwards.
You know what's something crazy?
Do you know what the involuntary mandate was?
adam crigler
What?
tim pool
Under Obama's healthcare deal, if you didn't buy health insurance, you had to pay a percentage of your income in a fine at the end of the year.
adam crigler
Wow.
lydia smith
The individual mandate?
tim pool
The individual mandate.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
lydia smith
I was like, involuntary, that doesn't sound good.
tim pool
Well, that's basically what it was.
lydia smith
Yeah, but yeah.
tim pool
The individual mandate.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Trump got rid of it.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Because, I mean, it seems unconstitutional.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Forcing someone to buy a private product?
adam crigler
Yeah, that's not okay.
tim pool
And dude, I'll tell you, it was really scary.
An individual I know, I'm trying to protect their privacy to the best of my ability, was panicking because they didn't make enough money to pay for health insurance, but they made enough money to where they were going to be fined for not having health insurance.
So they were all like, what do I do?
What do I do?
It's like, I'm going to lose a little bit of money, but I can't afford to spend the extra money.
adam crigler
What do I do?
Stop voting blue.
tim pool
They didn't vote at all, that's the thing.
adam crigler
Don't be passive.
tim pool
And then one day woke up and they were like, oh crap, it's going to cost me, you know, like, it's like, it was like they were, they were concerned that it would cost them like three, four hundred bucks a month for insurance.
And if they didn't pay it, it was going to cost them like a hundred bucks in fines.
So they had no choice but to pay the extra fine and lose money.
So something like that.
I'm probably getting the numbers wrong, but they were like, I'm going to lose all this money at the end of the year.
I don't have any money to begin with.
I'm poor.
And I'm like, yeah, it's the funny thing about how this works.
You can be poor-ish, but just not poor enough to where you actually get hit by these things.
You don't qualify for benefits, you know, things like that.
It's nonsense.
It's a real challenge for people, man.
lydia smith
These are hard-working people, too.
tim pool
Yeah.
Well, how about we talk about some sports?
adam crigler
Sure.
Sports!
I saw a few people in chat booing me because they like the White Sox.
tim pool
You booed the Sox?
adam crigler
Yeah.
I'm a Cubs fan.
What can I say?
Whatever.
I went to a bunch of Cubs games as a kid.
I listened to Harry Carey.
I sang with that dude.
It was fun.
I watched him win.
I was in Sweden actually at the time.
tim pool
When they won the World Series?
adam crigler
Yeah, it was like four in the morning.
tim pool
Right on.
adam crigler
I was there.
I was outside Wrigley.
I started screaming in the house.
I was like, oh wait, it's four in the morning.
tim pool
It's four in the morning in Sweden.
adam crigler
I probably woke a bunch of people up.
unidentified
I didn't care.
tim pool
I was outside of Wrigley Field.
adam crigler
Cool.
tim pool
And cops were lined up like it was going to be a riot.
unidentified
Uh-huh.
tim pool
And then after they won, most people just walked calmly home in huge crowds.
unidentified
Oh.
tim pool
Yeah.
It was great.
Standing outside of an empty stadium, and they won.
And it's a crazy moment for the Cubs, man.
adam crigler
Man, what an awesome game.
That was such a good series.
tim pool
Why don't we talk about this guy here?
adam crigler
Sorry, what are we talking about?
tim pool
Mike Gundy apologizes for pain.
adam crigler
Hold on, let me prep my ears for a Tim rant.
tim pool
I'm ready.
adam crigler
Did you get it out already?
See, this is what I was telling you.
You gotta save it.
tim pool
I got to hear it.
Check his story out.
Oklahoma State Cowboys coach Mike Gundy apologized Tuesday for the pain and discomfort he caused his players and others because of a t-shirt he was photographed wearing and vowed positive changes for his football program.
adam crigler
While fishing.
tim pool
What pain was caused to anyone because he was wearing a t-shirt?
Yeah.
adam crigler
For a news network.
lydia smith
Seriously.
tim pool
Oh, because it's the network that Trump likes.
But they're far right!
lydia smith
Not even.
tim pool
The apology came one day after running back Chubba Hubbard took to social media to call out Gundy for wearing a t-shirt from OAN One America News.
A photo showing Gundy wearing the shirt appeared on social media.
In the day that followed, Gundy and Hubbard appeared in a video message together that drew widespread criticism.
Then Hubbard posted twice more about needing to hold Gundy accountable for pushing for change.
In the Tuesday afternoon video, Gundy said he met with his players, who told him why the shirt affected them.
One American News is a far-right news network that is often sided by President Donald Trump.
What does far-right mean to these people?
You can call it a Trump loyalist network.
Sure, that's fair.
Are they laissez-faire capitalists arguing for the dissolution of the regulatory state?
lydia smith
I don't think so.
tim pool
Are they ultra-traditionalists saying that women should get back in the kitchen?
unidentified
Nope.
tim pool
No, they're just Trump supporters.
Doesn't mean anything.
Far right.
This is the funny thing about the far left is they're literally Marxist.
lydia smith
Oh yeah.
tim pool
Like they're actually advocating for a far left economy and culture.
lydia smith
Oh yeah.
tim pool
The far right isn't even far right.
adam crigler
Nope.
tim pool
Anyway, all right.
The network, which is a fraction of the audience of Fox News, I don't see why that's relevant, has tried to position itself as a place for a pro-Trump audience that believes other conservative news outlets have become too mainstream in their reporting.
It recently criticized the Black Lives Matter movement.
I had a great meeting with our team today.
Our players expressed their feelings as individuals and as team members.
They helped me see through their eyes how the t-shirt affected their hearts.
Once I learned how that network felt about Black Lives Matter, I was disgusted and knew it was completely unacceptable to me.
And it was at that moment that my spine fell clean out of my shorts and I seemed to have misplaced it.
adam crigler
No, he didn't actually say that.
He was on a boat at the time.
tim pool
It fell in the water.
And then a fish jumped right up and grabbed it, and then it swam away, and I'm like, aw, jeez, what am I gonna do?
So, you know, now it's really not my fault that I have to apologize.
I mean, my spine was stolen by a fish.
adam crigler
You know what it feels like?
You know the horseshoe, where they're coming back to meet each other?
So it feels like the far left has gone so far, it's like, you know, when you go off screen and you appear on the other side of the screen?
That's what it feels like.
They're like, boop!
Now they're on, now they are the far right, and they're looking around, they're like, oh man, this is where we are now.
tim pool
It's the horseshoe, they touched.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You know, it's like, someone tweeted that, it's like, it's the teardrop theory.
I've never, I've never seen more.
adam crigler
I've never seen more racist stuff than I have in the past.
tim pool
He apologized, check this out.
I want to apologize to all members of our team, former players and their families, for the pain and discomfort that has been caused over the last two days because he wore a t-shirt.
lydia smith
Wow.
To go fishing.
tim pool
Yeah, seriously.
For all we know, somebody was like, yo, you got your shirt wet.
You're like, oh, you spilled your beer.
Here's a shirt.
It's like, OK, he puts it on.
adam crigler
Yeah.
And also, you know, when you fish, you don't wear your good shirt.
lydia smith
Yeah, seriously.
adam crigler
You wear the shirt you don't care about.
lydia smith
You don't care about it anymore.
tim pool
It's like, what?
adam crigler
Come on.
Well, I mean, I used to be a fisherman, you know?
So, like, I know the deal.
You get blood.
lydia smith
You don't wear a tuxedo to go fishing, Adam?
adam crigler
Yeah, it's not a, you know, clean, I don't know, sport or hunting.
Hunting isn't clean!
lydia smith
Right, exactly.
tim pool
Check this out.
adam crigler
This is silly.
tim pool
You want to know the world you're helping create, Mr. Gundy?
Saints quarterback Drew Brees apologizes again for comments.
unidentified
What did he do?
adam crigler
What did he do in the first place?
tim pool
He said, I will never agree... I think he said, I will never agree with someone who... What did he say?
Kneels for the flag?
lydia smith
Yeah, someone who disrespects the flag.
tim pool
Disrespects the flag.
lydia smith
Alright, because my grandfather fought for it.
tim pool
Yeah.
lydia smith
That was his line.
tim pool
That was it.
lydia smith
That's it.
tim pool
That's it?
I will never agree with someone who disrespects the flag.
adam crigler
So you're not allowed to... You're not allowed to disagree with someone?
unidentified
Yeah, apparently not.
adam crigler
I will never agree with you.
unidentified
No, no, no.
tim pool
They're allowed to disagree with you and you got to bend the knee.
adam crigler
Right.
So all he said was, I won't ever agree with somebody.
That's it.
tim pool
Right.
Yeah.
adam crigler
Wow.
That's, that's sad.
tim pool
And no, no, no.
adam crigler
But did you, did you, did you notice how he read the- I need to apologize twice.
Again.
Yes, again.
tim pool
No, I think he did it like four times to be honest.
lydia smith
His wife did it too and everything.
adam crigler
The more you apologize, Brew, Drew, Drew Brew, whatever your name is.
It's like, dude, the more you apologize, the more they're going to want you to apologize.
It's just a cycle.
Oh, wait, we could probably get another one out of him.
tim pool
Oh, totally.
lydia smith
He's harder.
tim pool
Yeah, struggle session, bro.
Keep smacking him around.
There's an ancient, I believe it's a Greek proverb.
A society grows great when people plant trees in whose shade they know they will never sit.
This is the opposite of that.
Drew Brees and Mike Gundy are like, Oh, sorry, son.
I gotta chop the tree down because they're mad at me.
adam crigler
They say the tree is racist, so... So, the tree's coming down.
I gotta chop.
It's a white oak.
Oh, man.
unidentified
Ooh, ooh.
adam crigler
Yeah.
lydia smith
A white oak.
tim pool
Is that a real tree?
adam crigler
I don't know.
lydia smith
That's a real thing.
adam crigler
Oh, nailed it.
unidentified
Nailed it.
tim pool
Welcome, my friends, to the world that people like Mike Gundy hath wrought.
lydia smith
Wonderful.
tim pool
SDG and E-Worker fired over alleged racist gesture says he was cracking his knuckles.
unidentified
Oh, my gosh.
tim pool
Let me take you to a world and tell you a grand story.
Once upon a time, there was a man, a Mexican man, who was out for, uh, working on his dream job, he said.
Finally getting a job with the electric company.
He was driving his truck on the way to work one day when he stopped at a light.
Outside of his car he reached his hand and stretched and decided to crack his knuckles.
And in the midst of cracking his knuckles, a zealous fanatic noticed, well, that his hands had made a particular motion.
adam crigler
Oh.
Oh no.
tim pool
Dare I say, this man was accused of making a white supremacist hand gesture.
adam crigler
Oh my gosh.
tim pool
And he got fired for it.
adam crigler
I'm so sick of that.
tim pool
And he got fired for it.
adam crigler
The okay symbol?
lydia smith
Uh-huh.
The perfect signal.
adam crigler
Here's a photo.
I just took the course for scuba diving.
You know, you gotta take a course.
tim pool
Oh no, you can't use that anymore.
adam crigler
Oh, is that, is that part of it?
Cause it's in the book.
When you're, when you need to show that everything's okay, that's the symbol.
tim pool
You can't do it.
unidentified
Nope.
tim pool
You can't do this.
adam crigler
I'm going to do it.
I'm going to do it, Tim.
When I, when I'm going to do it, you have to, you have to in the test.
That's what you, you, they're like, they test you like, all right, so what's the symbol for okay.
tim pool
And you know, it'll happen right now.
adam crigler
Everything was okay.
tim pool
You know, it'll happen if you make the okay symbol right now on that camera.
adam crigler
What, they'll clip it?
tim pool
They'll clip it, and they'll say, white supremacist show.
I'm not kidding, I'm 100% serious.
And then it'll appear on a bunch of far-left sites, and then you'll get people who work for NBC News sending it to Google saying they're making white supremacy hand gestures.
adam crigler
People are so stupid.
I'm starting to feel you now, Tim.
I gotta push you away.
tim pool
Look at this image.
unidentified
Get away.
tim pool
Pull the picture up.
lydia smith
Okay.
tim pool
You see what he's doing here?
That's not even his index finger.
You can see the shadow between his fingers.
It's clearly like his ring finger.
He's cracking his knuckles.
He's a Mexican dude.
He said he didn't even know what this was.
He said, one of my supervisors said that I was being accused of doing a white supremacist gesture that was baffling.
I don't know how long it's going to take me to get over this, but to lose your dream job for playing with your fingers is a hard pill to swallow.
lydia smith
Oh man.
adam crigler
Yeah, this is ridiculous.
tim pool
Dude, it's beyond ridiculous.
adam crigler
This is insane.
This is insanity.
tim pool
Look at the chat.
Everybody's just... Oh, no!
adam crigler
The chat, as far as I'm concerned, is just telling us that everything's OK.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
I tweeted it once.
adam crigler
I love you, chat.
Chat, you guys are awesome.
Yes.
Which one?
This one?
tim pool
Yeah.
When this whole thing started, I tweeted the OK symbol and then responded to it saying, I just want everyone to realize things are going to be A-OK.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And a bunch of leftists started going like...
Screeching and like... And they were like, Tim Pool's mask has slipped, he's done the emoji!
I'm like, oh, oh no, I used an Apple emoji on my Twitter account, what does that mean?
adam crigler
Quick, you better cancel the emoji.
unidentified
Bro, I once made a... I'm surprised that's still a thing.
tim pool
There was an article that came out that said, it was from the Guardian I think, that mixed race people have something called, something akin to hybrid vigor, where it's like, There's less likelihood of genetic defect among people that are further apart in genetics.
lydia smith
That makes sense.
tim pool
I made a video about it, jokingly talking about mixed-race supremacy.
Oh, gosh.
unidentified
Oh, no.
adam crigler
Oh, no, Tim.
Why?
tim pool
But what do you think the left said?
What do you think they called me when I made that video?
lydia smith
A white supremacist.
adam crigler
Yes.
lydia smith
Of course.
adam crigler
Yeah.
I'm like, what?
lydia smith
Excuse me?
tim pool
This is why I can't stand these people because I can't even make a joke about myself talking about a scientific article where it's literally talking about why a homogenized race is more likely to have genetic defect.
You can't even say that.
Because no matter what you do, politics flows in one direction.
It's like, make the okay hand gesture, white supremacist.
Give a middle finger, white supremacist.
Do the dog wolf pack from NWO, white supremacist.
adam crigler
Do anything other than what we say, white supremacist.
Wear an OAN shirt, white supremacist.
tim pool
Don't wear an OAN shirt.
lydia smith
Silence is violence.
Speech is violence.
tim pool
Silence is violence.
lydia smith
Speech is violence.
tim pool
Silence is violence.
Speech is violence.
adam crigler
Silence is violence.
tim pool
Speech is violence.
lydia smith
Silence is violence.
tim pool
Speech is violence.
adam crigler
Silence is violence.
tim pool
Speech is violence.
Speech is violence.
down, silence is violence.
lydia smith
Yes, yes.
tim pool
Speech is violence.
lydia smith
So far so good.
Yep.
tim pool
Violence, physical violence.
lydia smith
Not violence.
tim pool
No, is violence.
It is.
lydia smith
Oh, it is?
tim pool
No, I'm sorry.
Self-defense.
lydia smith
Oh yeah.
Okay.
tim pool
And, uh, violence against property, not violence at all.
lydia smith
Protest.
Processing grief.
tim pool
Now, hold on.
Violence against the vulnerable of the wrong race?
Restorative justice.
That's a joke I made on Twitter when the rioters came and trashed a bodega owned by a minority couple in the Bronx.
I'm like, we have to understand these are property owners.
You think I'm joking?
adam crigler
Do you think they actually owned it?
Or were they renting the space to run their store?
tim pool
Oh yeah, they were probably renting it.
adam crigler
Right.
So they probably weren't even property owners.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
So you have poor people in places like Ferguson, and when the rioters come from outside of Ferguson in Missouri and smash up the local businesses, the woke lefties in their ivory tower go, well, you don't understand.
It's restorative justice.
They're fighting back against their oppressors.
I'm like, we're talking about they torched the local community.
Yeah.
There's no one oppressing.
It's like, it was a hair salon, dude.
It was owned by the lady who lived two blocks away.
lydia smith
Who are you talking about?
tim pool
Yeah, seriously.
Well, I'll tell you what, man.
Take a look.
This guy.
Here's the crazy thing.
Check this out.
NBC7 spoke to the man who originally posted the picture on Twitter.
He has since deleted his account and said he may have gotten spun up about the interaction and misinterpreted it.
He says he never intended for Cafferty to lose his job.
How much would you bet that dude's white?
Yeah, I'm sorry man.
adam crigler
Yeah, I would bet a lot of money that I got some white dude Yeah, I'm gonna go full SJW right now.
Oh, man.
tim pool
Have you seen that meme?
Have you seen the meme?
adam crigler
Get him Tim.
Get him.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
Have you seen the meme where it's a woman being force-fed milk?
adam crigler
Oh, yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, and then there's the other meme where the guy's looking over his shoulder.
lydia smith
They're combined and it's all white people Yeah, white guilt.
The milk is white guilt.
tim pool
The milk is white guilt.
lydia smith
Fittingly enough.
tim pool
Yes.
And then it's white people pouring white guilt into white people's mouths while a white person looks at the guy, shocked, while the white person looks over his shoulder at the white guilt like it's good.
And I gotta say, man, it's funny how they rag on white people all day and they prove their own point.
The most privileged, narcissistic egotists are literally them and they happen to mostly be whites.
lydia smith
Yeah.
So it's like... Guilty conscience, man.
tim pool
Maybe, maybe, you know, there was someone brought this up.
Do you know what race at the clock is?
The hashtag?
adam crigler
What is it?
tim pool
It's a meme referencing when a male feminist turns out to be a rapist because it happens so often.
So whenever it happens, like race at the clock, like days since, you know, a male feminist was accused.
adam crigler
Yeah, but I've heard your explanation of this and it makes total sense.
tim pool
Yeah, exactly.
That's what I was gonna bring up.
I love this theory.
Or just why feminists are feminists.
adam crigler
No, no, no.
The male feminist turns into a rapist.
It's because they're only being a male feminist to get laid.
tim pool
Yeah, of course.
adam crigler
It's not about being a feminist.
tim pool
The other point is that if you're a feminist and you're surrounded by these kind of dudes, and then you're going, all men are awful.
lydia smith
Yeah, no kidding.
tim pool
It's like, well, yeah, you're surrounded by male feminists, dude.
Like maybe go hang out with some regular people who are like, I don't know, playing a game of cornhole in the backyard and having a piece of chicken or something.
But you choose to hang out with the pussyhat wearing weirdos who are constantly saying like, now that I'm your friend, you owe me sex.
And they're like, oh man, am I right?
unidentified
You're right.
tim pool
And that's what they're surrounded by.
So if you're one of these woke, you know, white upper class people, surrounded by a bunch of snooty elitist narcissists, and then you're like, man, it sure is funny how all these white people are snooty elitist narcissists, and then they go on a crusade about it, not realizing it's them.
It's you!
It's you!
lydia smith
You're the problem.
tim pool
Yeah.
Yeah, you're the problem.
They don't get it.
So anyway, I'll tell you what.
There are days when I feel all hope is lost.
When I look to the news, and what do I see?
They banned books.
They banned art.
They banned art.
adam crigler
It's okay, Tim.
I'm here for you.
tim pool
But, then I see a bunch of, like, slightly overweight South Philly dudes with baseball bats.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
tim pool
Being like, you wanna come in my neighborhood?
Smash up my statues?
unidentified
Get out of here, you crazy bum!
tim pool
And I'm like, wow, regular people are snapping off.
adam crigler
So, like, a young Bernie Sanders.
tim pool
A young Bernie Sanders.
unidentified
Pretty much.
lydia smith
That's what I'm saying here.
tim pool
Well, young Bernie Sanders probably sounded A bit more like this.
Oh, I'm being arrested!
lydia smith
Don't arrest me!
tim pool
Healthcare for everybody!
I mean, look, respect for Bernie for protesting and civil rights.
He got arrested for it.
That's cool.
That's cool.
I like the photo of him.
He's a good dude.
But now he's an old dude and he doesn't understand economics and he's got no spine either.
You know what we need?
We need spines.
Yes, we need a shipment.
Perhaps we can call for an import somewhere?
Just a raw shipment of spines to hand out to people.
lydia smith
Not from China.
tim pool
Not from China.
adam crigler
Yeah, but maybe they'd give us breakable spines.
There's an uptick in 3D printing.
unidentified
Maybe we can just, you know, print it ourselves.
adam crigler
No, we don't need spines, but we're pretty good.
lydia smith
I think we're good.
adam crigler
I'm pretty confident.
tim pool
Well, hold on.
For, you're not liberal.
lydia smith
No, I'm not.
tim pool
But for us, who have been always fairly liberal people, of liberals, we probably have, like, the best spines.
Everyone agrees.
adam crigler
The best.
We have the best.
The best spines.
tim pool
Kim and Adam, best spines.
Everybody agrees.
unidentified
Everybody.
lydia smith
Not likely to fall out.
tim pool
Gina.
Just for no reason.
adam crigler
I've been fishing before, and I didn't lose my spine.
lydia smith
Your spine did not fall out.
tim pool
Check.
I just, I wonder what it is that makes a bunch of spineless people, and I don't care if you're a liberal, if you're conservative, if you're progressive, if you're far right, whatever, how do you end up with people who are just so pathetic and weak that they won't stand up for themselves?
What's that saying?
If you don't stand for anything, you'll fall.
lydia smith
If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
Yeah.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
What was that?
Was that Public Enemy?
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool
Or was that a famous quote?
adam crigler
That's basically what we've been saying about people not having purpose.
It's the same thing.
tim pool
Exactly.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
They don't have a purpose to stand for.
tim pool
So they just believe whatever garbage is shoveled down their throat.
adam crigler
Right.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
Man.
adam crigler
Yeah, it used to be even just being American, like that was what people could stand like, man, well, I'm American.
I'm, you know, living the American dream.
Yeah, that's gone.
Dude, as far as this craziness that I'm seeing every day, but I don't I don't believe that.
For one, I don't believe it.
I think people are going to realize or certain people are going to realize that most Americans are like, no, no, no, we're proud of America.
We're proud of where we live.
We're proud of this land.
And we are living the American dream.
And that's all races, too.
Don't try to make it a racial thing.
Because it's not.
People live in America.
tim pool
They are teaching kids to hate this country.
The scary thing is...
You know, I was talking to a friend, a friend of mine about this, about, you know, what it means to live in this country and what this country accomplished compared to other countries.
And I'm like, you know, I think a lot of these woke white lefties don't understand what it really means that this country has civil rights.
And there are a lot of European countries that also have civil rights.
But as they start to bring back the racialization of law, I'm like, you realize there are very, very few countries that accept cohabitation?
Like, we had Loving Day recently, that's why I bring it up.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
Loving Day is the anniversary of when the Supreme Court ruled interracial cohabitation and marriage was acceptable.
And I mean literally, like, you couldn't have a roommate who was not your race.
adam crigler
It's so messed up.
tim pool
Yeah, it's crazy, right?
lydia smith
It's crazy, dude.
tim pool
Well, there are still many countries where it's still considered extremely taboo.
Like, most countries, actually.
adam crigler
Yeah.
Well, most people probably don't even know that.
tim pool
Yeah, we're not aware.
adam crigler
That that still exists.
tim pool
Because they live in an ivory tower.
unidentified
Seriously.
tim pool
America, what's that saying?
unidentified
Who said it?
tim pool
The gun rights thing?
He said, just call the police.
Is a tower so ivory that you'll go blind from looking at it?
lydia smith
I have not heard that.
I have not heard that quote.
tim pool
Look it up.
Because it's a really, really good quote.
This dude basically calls out liberals who are like, you know, if you're in danger, you don't need to defend yourself, call the police.
And he said, he said, just call the police.
There's a tower so ivory that it'll blind, you know.
Did you find it?
lydia smith
No, hold on.
tim pool
A tower so ivory or something.
I'm sure they're pulling it up.
lydia smith
I'm sure they'll find it before me.
They usually do.
tim pool
It's an awesome quote.
But it reminds me of these people who grew up in the suburbs.
They have, it's amazing.
They go to these colleges and they're told by their professors, here's what you have to do to be a good person.
And then I end up with these people coming to me and they're like, I'm from Naperville.
My parents paid my college.
Let me teach you about what racism really is.
And I'm like, let me, let me stop you right there, buddy.
I'm from the city on the south side.
Let me tell you about racism.
And they say, you're a bigot.
adam crigler
How dare you?
tim pool
You would understand because you have white privilege.
I'm like, uh-huh.
unidentified
Uh-huh.
lydia smith
Tell me about that.
unidentified
Did you find it?
tim pool
Tell me about that.
lydia smith
No, I can't find it anywhere.
adam crigler
Gene Wilder.
lydia smith
What was it from?
Gene Wilder?
adam crigler
No, no, no.
tim pool
No, no, no.
adam crigler
That's just one of my favorite memes because Gene Wilder's amazing.
tim pool
I don't know if somebody found it yet.
adam crigler
Tell me more.
Tell me more about that thing that you do.
lydia smith
Yes, I know that meme.
adam crigler
Gene Wilders is the boss.
One of the great OG comedians was in Blazing Saddles, which I'm shocked it hasn't been SJW'd out to oblivion.
lydia smith
I can't wait to see it.
adam crigler
Don't you dare do it!
lydia smith
Don't do it.
Don't give them ideas, Adam.
adam crigler
Nah, man.
tim pool
I found it.
adam crigler
It's too late.
Someone's gonna see it eventually.
lydia smith
Tim has located it.
tim pool
I believe it's from Caleb Howe.
I just googled it.
lydia smith
I've not heard his name.
tim pool
He said, banning weapons is the most white privilege idea ever.
Rich liberals scoffing at the idea that a person might need to defend their own life is a tower so ivory you can't look at it in direct sunlight.
It's the personal safety equivalent of, just have the maid do it.
adam crigler
Oh, boom.
unidentified
I love it.
A tower so ivory you can't look directly at it.
lydia smith
Yeah, man.
tim pool
I think that's his quote, but I bring it up, it's not a direct, it doesn't directly correlate with what I was saying, but it does in the sense that these rich white suburbanite progressives are the epitome of what they claim to be fighting against.
How do you fight that when there's people, like could you imagine the vampire hunters show up to the town hall like, we're here to fight the vampires, and then they have fangs and they're covered in blood and you're like, it's literally you, and they go, shut up!
Vampire and then they start stabbing you.
adam crigler
They kill you real quick.
tim pool
Yep.
That's what it is.
Yeah, it's like it's them dude.
They're the zombies They're not zombie hunters, man How about this?
How about we jump over to them Super Chats?
adam crigler
Let's do it!
lydia smith
We got some stuff we have to do.
adam crigler
What up everybody?
tim pool
What do we have to do?
adam crigler
Smash that like button!
Is that what you're saying?
unidentified
Yes, that's what I was getting at.
adam crigler
I regret nothing Tim.
tim pool
Maybe we should get a button.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
You know what we should do?
We'll get a button that when you press it, a U pops up, like this.
Yeah.
Smash the like button.
adam crigler
You know, that's actually an interesting thing.
Oh, that's a good idea.
Regret, in general.
I just want to say it.
I just said it.
I didn't regret yelling into the mic.
But that's something that we need to do.
We can't regret stuff.
We gotta learn from stuff.
That's right.
And all these people saying, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I did that.
I regret doing that.
I regret this.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
It's like, I regret nothing!
lydia smith
Regret nothing.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
unidentified
You know what I want to do?
adam crigler
Hashtag regret nothing.
Let's do that.
lydia smith
Yeah, man.
tim pool
You know what I want to do?
If I ever find myself in a situation like this, you know what I'm going to do?
adam crigler
What?
tim pool
I'm going to make an apology video.
It's going to be called, I'm sorry, dot, dot, dot.
And then it's gonna be me wearing a really fine, like, white tuxedo.
And I'm gonna walk in with a cigar, and I'm gonna sit down, and I'm gonna go... Or a bubble pipe, maybe?
No, I'm gonna get a legit cigar.
And I'm gonna, you know, chop it, and I'm gonna light it, and I'm gonna look at the camera and go, I apologize.
for nothing!
unidentified
Yes!
adam crigler
You gotta call Crowder and have him send you one of his special blends.
lydia smith
I want this to happen now.
adam crigler
I regret nothing!
Every time I see him he's got a cigar in his mouth.
lydia smith
I love it.
tim pool
Man, think about how spineless people are.
It's crazy.
Could you imagine George Carlin being told to apologize for something?
It would be epic.
adam crigler
He would laugh in your face.
lydia smith
He sure would.
adam crigler
Carlin was a boss.
tim pool
And he was a lefty.
But he would rag on feminist PC culture and all that stuff.
Yeah, he was a total boss.
Talk about inspiration.
lydia smith
Earlier today I was thinking, man, I don't regret anything.
adam crigler
Regret nothing.
lydia smith
Learn!
adam crigler
Learn!
This is the first time I've used this.
lydia smith
Learn.
adam crigler
The clapping part.
unidentified
I don't really like it.
tim pool
Don't regret anything.
Like do people really do that in real life?
lydia smith
Sometimes I do.
adam crigler
I've seen it.
She did it and that's why I just started doing it.
Don't glare at me.
unidentified
Don't give me that look.
lydia smith
I love it.
tim pool
How about we read some suggestions?
adam crigler
Oh, yeah, sorry.
I had to say that, though.
That was good.
tim pool
Cole Erdman says, Hey guys, I just want to say thanks for giving me hope.
Everyone around me has lost it, but y'all keep me going.
Please keep up the good work and good journalism and spin the UFO.
adam crigler
Yes!
I'm gonna spin it!
Oh man, I've been prepping for this.
lydia smith
That was the second thing we needed to do.
tim pool
It does worry me when I hear a lot of people saying things like this, though, man.
What if we are really la resistance?
The last free minds in this country.
lydia smith
It's us!
adam crigler
Like us?
Like us three?
tim pool
And everybody watching.
People like us, yeah.
adam crigler
Yeah, maybe.
tim pool
What if there's quite literally only 26,000 people who aren't zombies?
lydia smith
Oh man, we're so cool.
adam crigler
I believe it.
tim pool
You read I Am Legend, right?
adam crigler
Oh yeah.
We've got a good crew here.
tim pool
Did you like it?
lydia smith
I loved it.
tim pool
And do you want to tell people what it's about real quick?
Synopsis?
lydia smith
Oh, okay.
I can try to do a quick synopsis.
So it's this guy, he's the last one and he's trying to... The last what?
He's the last human.
unidentified
Why?
lydia smith
Everyone else is a zombie.
There's been a virus or some kind of infection.
He thinks it's bacterial and he's been studying it.
He's trying to find a way to cure it because his wife and his daughter were both victims of it.
adam crigler
Who are you talking to right now?
lydia smith
I don't know.
Myself.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
lydia smith
Yeah.
I'm always talking to myself.
Am I not looking in the right place?
I'm not on camera all that much, but yeah, he's, he's trying to find a cure for this zombie illness.
So he has like his, his microscope and he has his books and he's reading about bacteria and everything.
And this lady comes through and it turns out that she's actually a spy.
tim pool
I just want to give you the, the, the, the ending.
Why is it called I am legend?
lydia smith
Because it turns out that he was the one who had killed everyone around him.
Like, all of the zombies were terrified of him because he had killed so many of them.
He just put them down like animals, constantly.
tim pool
So the general idea is, when the whole world becomes zombies, and you are the last not-zombie, and you go around killing them, you are the boogeyman.
You're the mysterious creature who, you know, so it's vampires, you're the mysterious creature walking while they sleep and slaughtering them in their sleep.
They tell scary stories about you.
The reason I tell you this is that there will come a time when the whole world will be woke SJWs and you will be the legend.
You will be the last person saying, I believe in freedom of speech.
And they're going to be like, ah, lock them up.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Heretic.
unidentified
Yes.
lydia smith
And then you'll be like, I'll shoot you in the chest.
tim pool
You will keep fighting.
You will demand free speech, free expression, you know, liberty.
And then eventually, they'll be like, you are the bad guy.
You're the only one who thinks what you think, and you must be stopped.
And there's no one there to support you.
And maybe that's what'll happen.
That's scary.
Anonymous Coward says, Hi Tim, what's up with SCNR?
Their last two videos did not seem objective at all.
Is this a new direction for the outlet?
I would say the answer to that is no.
It's not always going to be perfect content.
And I can't speak to one where what they did was, for Scanner, they tried contrasting what Eric Garcetti in LA was saying with what was actually going on on the ground.
And I talked to them about this.
They're totally editorially independent from me, so.
But if they start doing overtly biased opinion stuff, that's when I'm going to be like, yo, guys.
But in this one, they thought it was actually going to be clever to say, like, Eric Garcetti's full of it.
Everything he's saying is BS.
The police are out fighting with protesters and stuff.
And I think it was an artistic vision that didn't work out, in my opinion.
So a lot of people are like, why are we listening to Eric Garcetti?
And I'm like, I see what they were trying to do.
I don't think that makes sense.
That functions properly.
adam crigler
I agree.
tim pool
The latest video they did was this guy, it's called Nimrod Reports.
And I think it was edited really, really bad.
And that's the main problem.
It was edited in a way that gave choppy responses to the... It was a bunch of, like, pro-British nationalists, or just... I don't know what you'd call them, but they were people who were very pro-Rinston Churchill, easiest way to put it.
I don't want to label them, because I don't know much about what happened.
But the way the interview was done, it was like, he asked a question, and then you'd get a snippet of an answer, and then it would cut right away.
And I think that's a really retro, old-school way of doing interviews.
In today's day and age, you put the microphone in them, you let them say whatever they want, and you let it roll for as long as it needs to roll, and then you do the next clip.
I'll talk to them, make sure we figure out how to do better production quality stuff, but I'll be honest, they're editorially independent.
I can't intervene and tell them not to do a story.
I can if they're putting out opinion content, which it seems they may have accidentally veered into, and that's when I'll step in and be like, yo, no opinion.
Grim Soul Banisher says at work, wishing I was playing Persona 5.
Glad my dull desk work is made tolerable by some intelligent conversation from you three.
Soon the UFO please.
I'm sorry, he didn't say spin, he said soon.
We can't do it.
adam crigler
I don't know how to soon the UFO.
tim pool
Michael J. O. says, I moved out of a big city into burbs.
Feel safer.
I agree.
I understand and agree with that sentiment.
Yeah.
Ajit Ajit says, Webster is not changing the definition of the word racism.
Is not changing it.
I'd like to take this moment to endorse the original 1824 Noah Webster's dictionary of the English language.
The definitions are way better, especially for writers.
They are not, you're saying?
They are now changing. That's what I thought.
adam crigler
Because they literally did change it.
tim pool
Here's the correction.
Webster's is now changing the definition of racism.
And it's a paradox. It makes no sense.
adam crigler
Racism means racism.
Yeah. How about that?
tim pool
Racism is a political system founded on a political system founded on a political system founded on a... because you
can't use the definition of the word.
unidentified
Thank you.
tim pool
My Harumph shirt arrived today and I am now ready to hit the streets and cause the mischief a street skater should in these crazy times.
unidentified
Correct.
tim pool
I also want to point out in all these videos where someone's hitting someone with a skateboard, you know, they never skated a day in their lives.
lydia smith
For sure.
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
Nah.
adam crigler
Probably.

Skateboarder's not gonna risk his board like that.
King Canuck says, you just lost the game.
You're an incredible journalist, Tim.
Mad respect to you all, and I heart when you two get into it.
I know there's no beef, just respect.
Tim, mind your ego.
Adam, stand up for your disagreements.
More.
It's fun.
adam crigler
Oh, I am.
tim pool
We actually, before the show, we have a script and we're like, we're trying to escalate to the point where I pull up the chair and I'm like, and I swing and then Adam ducks and then Alex Jones!
unidentified
I just catch it with one hand.
Yeah.
tim pool
And I'm like, and I look shocked.
adam crigler
And I swoonch.
tim pool
And I catch his hand.
And then I rip my shirt off.
And then it just cuts the black.
adam crigler
And then I just laugh.
tim pool
Do you ever see that clip of Alex Jones where he blasts off through the roof?
adam crigler
No.
lydia smith
That's amazing.
adam crigler
But in all seriousness though, I tweet a lot of jokes.
I'm joking constantly about our feuds because people seem to have made it a thing.
And we've known each other for a long time.
I've been friends with this guy quite some time.
We're friends.
tim pool
We agree on 99.9% of everything.
adam crigler
So the few things that you see when we do disagree or whatever, we walk away from it.
tim pool
It's not even that.
adam crigler
After the show, we're smiling.
unidentified
We're like, oh man, what a great interaction.
tim pool
We got into it a day or two ago, and after the show, I was like, wow, that was a really great argument, man.
And he's like, yeah, it was good.
And then the segment did really well.
It's really cool when we like actually well because it's it's you can see like there's different ideas Mm-hmm, and that's the point of a legitimate intelligent conversation Like why do you think the way you do?
Well, here's what I think and then you know, it's kind of boring We agree on like everything, you know, I mean, yeah, I guess everybody does though like even everyone watching We're all like we mostly agree on all this stuff.
adam crigler
You could have fooled me though.
tim pool
What agreeing everything?
adam crigler
No, I mean all things exactly.
unidentified
I Well, now we disagree.
How dare you!
adam crigler
You respond to that with a no.
I loved it.
That was wonderful.
lydia smith
Perfect.
adam crigler
Perfect timing.
lydia smith
On point.
tim pool
North Asuma says, got any books you would recommend?
Also, thanks for doing what you're doing.
It's hard to search through a sea of misinformation to find actual news.
Thanks for being a guide.
No problemo.
Any books anybody?
Harry Potter.
lydia smith
Ooh, Harry Potter, indeed.
tim pool
Because now J.K.
Rowling is based, I guess.
lydia smith
Yes, I guess.
unidentified
I don't know.
lydia smith
Actually, yeah, she wrote under a pseudonym.
She wrote under, oh crap, what did she write under?
She wrote books about a veteran who had a leg amputated, and she wrote from the perspective of a military man, of a white military man who was, you know, disabled from his service.
And she was talking about, his name is Cormoran Strike, and I loved her books because she's talking about being transabled and she was like, this is not okay.
Like the hero is like not on board with that.
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
So I really liked those books.
There you go.
There's a recommendation.
Cormoran Strike books from J.K.
Rowling.
adam crigler
The first book series that I fell in love with was the Dragonlance Chronicles.
It's a three book series.
It is like the entrance into a wonderful world of sci-fi.
Awesome.
It's an incredible journey with a group of people that are all drastically different and don't even always get along.
It's cool.
It's a really good book series.
My online moniker, Riverwind, is from that series actually.
All my gaming, I'm Riverwind in my games.
lydia smith
Very cool.
tim pool
Josh says, hey Tim and company, you are in my head a lot of the time these days.
Thanks for providing a voice on current events.
Can we see some noodling on the guitars?
Friday.
unidentified
Yes.
adam crigler
Friday night jams.
tim pool
Noodling.
Yep.
North, thanks for coming to member.
Seth Blackburn, thanks for coming to member.
Thomas Mulligan says, hey, all love the work that you guys do.
Tim, would you ever do a breaking news segment or is your schedule set in stone?
And of course, spin the UFO.
Um, most of- most of my segments are just whatever I think is the most relevant for the time, but I always try to make sure that my segments are as close to publishing as possible, and that can backfire a lot.
So today, I actually recorded a segment on the NBC News thing, and I did it very, very close to when I upload the videos, and then shortly before I uploaded it, it's all rendered, and I record and everything, and I press upload, and then they're like- Google pops this thing up where they're like, we're changing our story, and I'm like, ugh.
That's the challenge of doing segments at the last minute.
Or actually, that's the benefit of doing them as close as possible to the publishing time, but then I have to put in the things.
I mean, typically I try to do breaking news.
I used to do live streams when a news story would break, but now we just decided to do this show, and so if news breaks, we just do it on the show.
adam crigler
Yeah, I guess so.
tim pool
Man, I'm spinning it.
We're gonna send that thing off.
You better smash that like button.
That's right.
That's the trade.
would have driven me insane.
Spin the UFO.
adam crigler
Do it again.
Man, I am, I'm spinning it.
lydia smith
We're gonna send that thing off.
adam crigler
You better smash that like button.
lydia smith
That's right, that's the trade.
adam crigler
You better be smashing that like button, everybody.
lydia smith
That's the deal.
tim pool
Smash it!
I gotta be honest, I think the reason why the show is growing so much is because of the constant smashing of the like button.
I'm not even kidding.
I think so too.
Giving the like button boosts us in the algorithm, I'm pretty sure.
lydia smith
Yeah.
We trade UFO spins for likes.
tim pool
Yeah.
lydia smith
That's the currency.
tim pool
Student of History says, so we honestly living 1984 Ministry of Truth and All?
Yes.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
I guess so.
tim pool
Let's see.
Ground Floor Guthrie says, Re, BLM Fundraisers.
There is at least one fundraising site that is powered by GoBlue, which is a Democratic PAC.
If I can find the links, I will post.
Sorry if this is repeated.
Do you mean ActBlue?
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
A lot of people think that it's secretly funneling money to Biden because ActBlue is like GoFundMe, but it's just not true.
It would be like if somebody got a donation through GoFundMe and then I argued that the donation sent to me actually went to them.
adam crigler
Well, what about this thing, the Minnesota bail thing?
Oh, the Bail Relief Fund?
lydia smith
They got $35 million.
adam crigler
They got $35 million and they're like, we've spent over $200,000 on bails.
lydia smith
Where'd the rest go?
adam crigler
What about the rest?
tim pool
They don't need to bail anybody out.
lydia smith
That's all they have to do.
adam crigler
That's it?
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
So where does that money go?
tim pool
They'd probably sit on it, and then figure out what to do with it in the future.
It's the weirdest thing to me, like, all these celebrities that donated to the bail fund, it's the Minnesota Freedom Fund, like, they chose to do it.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
Like, they realize, bail for the several hundred people who got arrested can't be that much money.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
So, conservatives, I see are popping up being like, what did you do with the money?
And I'm like, the people who gave the money don't care.
They're like, I donated, I'm happy, and they walk away.
So, the Freedom Fund, they don't care either.
adam crigler
You know what I mean?
I've glorified my virtue, so.
lydia smith
That's right, that's all I have to do.
adam crigler
I'm done.
lydia smith
I donated, that's that.
tim pool
Ooh, Texas, what's this?
Paul Marino says, I saw, quote, Turn Texas Blue trending on Twitter a week ago, week or so ago.
unidentified
Oh boy.
tim pool
Do you think it's possible?
I'm moving there in a couple months and leaving blue New Jersey, not trying to go to another blue state.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
I do think it's possible, and that's why I won't go near Texas.
adam crigler
Well, if you have an issue with it, maybe we need more people in politics.
More people getting involved.
Well, no, no.
tim pool
This is a media and culture issue.
adam crigler
Sure.
tim pool
These are the regular people of Texas deciding to vote for Democrats.
adam crigler
OK.
lydia smith
They're winning.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Well, they don't call everyone the silent majority for nothing.
tim pool
Is there really a silent majority?
adam crigler
Yeah, I think there is.
tim pool
I think so.
I think if you were to combine most people who don't vote and don't pay attention, and everyone's desperate to activate those groups, I wonder if the riots activated everyone in favor of the right.
Because something happened after the riots where my views on everything, the viewership for this show, the viewership for my channels, is up like 40-50%.
It's ridiculous.
Like, I actually think on my second channel my views have doubled.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
And it is kind of worrying.
Look, I don't really care how many views I get.
I do what I do because I like talking about stuff.
Yes, you do.
adam crigler
A little bit.
Come on.
tim pool
I mean, everybody's happy when they're successful.
lydia smith
Yeah, of course.
tim pool
You know what I mean?
But for the most part, when I first started, I was getting 10,000 views.
I didn't just go, oh, I'm not getting enough and stop.
No, I was like, I like doing what I do.
But I think what we're seeing is people got activated by the riots in both directions.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
So a lot of people probably woke up like, why is my town on fire?
What's happening?
They go on YouTube and they start watching and listening to podcasts and trying to figure out what's happening in the world.
That's maybe a good thing.
Maybe.
We're here.
Maybe they'll vote.
Maybe they will go vote.
adam crigler
I hope so.
tim pool
But I'll tell you what, man, I'm not confident in Trump.
Not at all.
I'm not.
So it's like, you know, I'm talking to some OG Trump people telling me they won't vote for him now.
I'm not even kidding.
Like Mike Cernovich keeps saying that he thinks Trump will lose.
I wonder if he's saying it because he wants people to feel vulnerable so they desperately go out to vote and don't get desperate.
But I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't know.
I don't think Mike plays those games like that.
lydia smith
I don't know.
tim pool
So I once did an interview with Mike Cernovich where he went to Berkeley and he straight up, I was like, so what are you doing here in Berkeley?
And he goes, oh, we came here because Antifa will, we know that they'll act a fool and then look really bad.
And then we can use that to make ourselves look better.
And I was like, wait, wait, what?
lydia smith
That was a quiet part you just said out loud.
tim pool
And he was like, he's like, yeah, yeah, Antifa acts a fool and then we can use that against them and point out how crazy they are.
lydia smith
Maybe that's the kind of thing he's thinking now.
I don't know.
tim pool
No, but he just admits it.
He would say it straight up.
Would he?
Yes.
Yeah, yes.
lydia smith
That's right.
He might be thinking that way and then acting accordingly.
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool
No, like I literally interviewed him and he just told me exactly what we're doing.
He's like, it's not a secret.
Everybody knows we're here to specifically do this thing because Antifa will go nuts.
And it's like, OK.
So if he really thought this would help Trump, he would say straight up, I'm going to keep telling everybody he's going to lose that they get out and vote or something.
I think he means it.
Because you look at Ann Coulter and she hates Trump.
lydia smith
Yeah, she's not a fan anymore.
Too bad.
tim pool
But we'll see because these riots are a serious business.
Will regular people stand for them?
Are they confident Trump can be the one to solve that problem?
unidentified
Not entirely convinced.
adam crigler
See that right there is not the correct way of putting it because they've been saying you're not allowed to touch us, we're the states.
We control what goes on in our states.
And now it's on him to fix everything though?
See that I don't understand.
tim pool
To do something.
Say something.
adam crigler
He's been, what do you mean?
He's been saying something.
lydia smith
He's been talking.
adam crigler
He's been telling them, you gotta get your states in order.
Like, what are you doing?
And they're going like this to him.
lydia smith
Yeah, right.
adam crigler
Like, back off.
We like these, what's going on here.
tim pool
It's like, why?
adam crigler
Why do you like this?
tim pool
What?
The executive order on section 230 did nothing.
Okay.
The executive order on police reform is interesting.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
But it will do nothing.
Yeah.
I mean, offering up... so the executive order he signed today will offer up new grants for police departments if they adhere to certain principles and guidelines.
I can respect he's doing some things.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
The economy was really, really great under him for a long time, and that's what he has going for him.
And maybe he can't do anything.
But a lot of people don't know that, and that's gonna play a role in how they, you know, consider their vote.
I guess the question is, Biden?
adam crigler
I don't think so, man.
unidentified
No, man.
adam crigler
There's no way I'll vote for Biden.
tim pool
And I think the data shows us riots lead to law and order presidents.
So Trump came out with the executive order on police reform and was very defensive of the police.
The left got mad at him about it.
They said he was creating loopholes and it was a cop-out and it was a full-throated defense of the police.
But he still offered up some reform ideas, no chokeholds, things like that.
Maybe that'll play out.
Maybe there's no winning for him because no matter what he does, the press will vilify him for every single thing he does.
But, there's questions about Julian Assange.
There's questions about federal drug enforcement.
Julian Assange was big for a lot of people.
Because Trump throughout the campaign was saying he loved WikiLeaks.
Now, Julian Assange is rotting in a British prison, you know, and he shouldn't, he should have been released already, but now they're extraditing him.
And Trump's administration is full on, we don't care.
And so this made a lot of people angry.
It felt like Trump during the campaign was like, yeah, everything good for me from WikiLeaks.
And then as soon as he became president, he was like, don't care anymore, bye, walked away.
lydia smith
Yeah, it would have been so easy for him to do that.
tim pool
But I don't know what he could do for Assange, to be honest, so.
Yeah.
But I know that played a role for some people that were like, you know, Trump supporters.
simius the first says i was talking to my russian friend whose father and father is in the russian air force he said there is there is talking amongst the officer corps that they need to be ready for if the crisis continues in the u.s they need to take advantage and annex unaligned former soviet countries I believe it.
I definitely think they would do something like that for sure.
Sure.
Jim Pena.
If the local leadership isn't spineless, and it's not suffering from white guilt, what remains?
Yeah, well, they don't have spines anymore, so.
Steel Scholar says Crowder gives you that beautiful rifle and you just throw him under the bus like that?
Not very cash money of you, Mr. Poole.
unidentified
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
adam crigler
For the record, that was me.
lydia smith
Totally, Adam.
We were just joking.
adam crigler
And Crowder, I was joking.
No, man, I love that guy.
He's funny.
lydia smith
If anyone can take a joke.
adam crigler
Yeah, he's a funny dude.
I am a little singed that I didn't get a gun, but I'm no Tim Pool, so... You didn't get a gun?
tim pool
I'll just go get my own gun.
Crowder, make sure you send two.
unidentified
We need more than one here at the house.
adam crigler
Lydia would snatch that up in no time.
tim pool
I gotta say, man, I'm gonna get an arsenal, baby.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
Post Malone, baby.
I have a friend who is arguing with me all the time about Black Lives Matter, defending the left, making excuses for everything they do, When I bought a gun.
Not kidding.
adam crigler
Wow, interesting.
tim pool
And I'm like, aren't you like, you know, marching for 2A, March for Our Lives and all that stuff?
And it's like, well, but I mean, you know, no, no, no.
I mean, like the world's ending.
So things are different now.
lydia smith
Yeah, it's personal.
tim pool
I wonder how many of these people are gonna vote for gun control now.
But to be honest, they will.
You know why?
The gun control legislation will be like, only people in cities can have guns.
And they'll vote for it.
adam crigler
You know it'll be- You'd see really fast how big the silent majority is if they try to pull something like that.
tim pool
That's what people don't realize about gun rights and stuff like that, is that these fervent gun control activists who are marching around in D.C.
are the minority.
Bernie Sanders, one of the reasons I respected him in 2016 was because he said it's an urban versus rural issue.
lydia smith
Smartest thing he's ever said.
tim pool
And that even in Vermont, people want their guns.
And it's very blue and hippie-ish.
And it's like, I watched a video, I think it was from somewhere in the middle of the country, where it was a Union Democrat talking about how he's like, my family, we have guns, we go hunting, we do these things, and we've always voted for Democrats, and I don't understand why they're coming after us now, why they're turning on us.
It's like, because they needed a wedge issue.
And this was a shocking wedge issue, they wanted to use it.
You see the video where the guy confronts Joe Biden about it?
adam crigler
Oh yeah.
tim pool
And Joe Biden just like insults him.
adam crigler
Yeah.
He straight up said, you want to take this outside?
He wanted to duel him!
lydia smith
Bring the dueling back, yes!
unidentified
That's how old Biden is.
tim pool
He thought that dueling was still a thing.
unidentified
I remember back in 18-odd-4, you know, the thing where, I'll, I'll, I'll, we'll rape ears and, you know, what he said and, you know, but I can't, so, president.
adam crigler
No, he said, well, you're full of S.
That was the first thing he said.
It was like, what?
You led with that?
Oh my goodness.
lydia smith
Bold strategy.
tim pool
This is why I can't imagine Biden winning no matter what.
It's like, you got a guy who keeps telling people not to vote for him.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
He keeps doing it.
He's done it like four or five times.
He's like, go vote for somebody else.
It's like, okay.
adam crigler
But when he said, we need a strong VP, one that can be ready to be president day one.
When he said that, I couldn't believe my ears.
I had to listen to it again.
I just hear that.
tim pool
Did you hear him say he was gonna be a one-term president?
adam crigler
No.
tim pool
And then he had to walk it back.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
They made him walk it back?
tim pool
Well, he walked it back.
adam crigler
Oh, he walked it back?
tim pool
Yeah, he said something like, something, something, what was that story?
What exactly did he say?
lydia smith
He said, I'm, I'm, I'm paving the way for other people like Pete Buttigieg.
tim pool
No, he said something like, uh... Something came up with his story where it was basically like, he's just trying to stop a Trump re-election.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And he could be a one-term president.
And then he had to come out and be like, no, I'm gonna run for re-election.
And it's like, no, you're not.
adam crigler
When you're 82?
tim pool
No, he's like, he's 80 now, isn't he?
adam crigler
No, he's 77.
tim pool
Oh, he is.
adam crigler
I'm pretty sure he's 77.
He seems so old.
Is he 77?
lydia smith
Let me check.
unidentified
He's already got dementia now.
tim pool
He's already in decline.
And I mean that somewhat figuratively.
I don't know if he literally has dementia.
lydia smith
No, I think he does.
adam crigler
You know what?
I kind of wish that guy would have been like, yes, let's take this outside.
Because he was young.
He was a blue collar dude.
Man, that dude probably lived to steal.
tim pool
I got to admit, part of me wants to see a Joe Biden presidency.
You know why?
unidentified
Oh, chaos.
tim pool
Could you imagine him just like sitting in the wheelchair with a blanket over his lap and doing like a national address and he's just like hunched over and he's like They just turn the camera on.
adam crigler
I don't want a picture.
tim pool
Mr. Mr. President.
lydia smith
We'd be at war so fast.
unidentified
Biden-bama.
tim pool
And then they're like, oh, Biden-bama.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
Thank you, Mr. President.
And then the camera just fades to black.
lydia smith
Go back.
tim pool
They could they could do campsite chats with Joe Biden where it's just him sitting in a wheelchair, slumped over, sleeping in the fireplace.
lydia smith
It'd be kind of nice, you know, be soothing.
tim pool
Like you're watching the video like that's kind of nice.
He's sitting there.
He's not doing anything.
adam crigler
At least he's he's sleeping peacefully.
tim pool
That's right.
No, I still believe as soon as he gets elected, they're going to wheel him into the room and put him in the sunlight with him being a wheelchair slumped over in the sunlight.
And then Hillary walks in and sits in the open.
unidentified
No, no, no.
adam crigler
She doesn't walk in.
unidentified
She slithers out of the shadows.
tim pool
The shadows mold into her form.
adam crigler
There's like a shimmer effect from the shadows, and her face just appears out of the darkness.
lydia smith
Thanks for this nightmare material, guys.
Wonderful.
tim pool
And then as she's walking out of the room, there's a Secret Service man, and she goes, end it.
And as she says it, black smoke comes out of her mouth.
lydia smith
Do it.
Thank you.
We've given 25,000 people nightmares.
Good work, everyone.
tim pool
She's like a boogeyman now.
lydia smith
Oh my gosh.
adam crigler
Now?
tim pool
When I have kids, I'm not going to tell them about the boogeyman.
I'm going to tell them about the Hillary.
adam crigler
They don't call her Killary for nothing.
tim pool
Killary.
And if you dare oppose her political agenda and speak up against her foundation, she will poison your food and your sleep.
unidentified
That.
tim pool
Poison your food and your sleep.
lydia smith
Yes, that.
tim pool
Because it has to be in your sleep, otherwise it's not scary, you know?
lydia smith
Right, yeah.
tim pool
Freak out my kids with scary stories.
And then you know what's going to happen?
When they're like seven, I'm going to be like, did you clean your room?
I'll do it.
If you don't do it, Hillary will come.
No, no, no, no.
lydia smith
No, not Hillary!
This is going to be fun.
I like the idea.
tim pool
Alright, alright, let's read it.
Let's read a super chat.
Gabriel McLeod says, I've been a Magic player for 23 years.
If we allow the SJW knee bending of Wizards of the Coast Hasbro to ruin the game for us, we let them win.
The way we fight back is to continue playing the game in the spirit it was created no matter what they do.
Which is why I bought several of these forbidden art cards.
adam crigler
That's not why you bought them.
You bought them because they're just going to skyrocket in price.
tim pool
No, the prices are crashing.
adam crigler
They're crashing.
tim pool
Yeah, because there was an initial burst and now the value is going down.
lydia smith
Huh, why?
adam crigler
Because they're not very good cards.
Yeah, they're banned now.
tim pool
They're not good.
You can't use them in tournaments.
adam crigler
Yeah, give them some time.
tim pool
So here's how it works in Magic.
The usefulness of the card determines the value of it for the most part.
adam crigler
Correct.
tim pool
So when you play in a certain format, you're like, I need this one card and it's rare because they don't make them.
They made it 20 years ago.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
So it'll cost you several thousand dollars.
adam crigler
These that's well several thousand dollars.
There's not that many cards that are of that might that are still used All the alpha and beta stuff.
tim pool
Yeah, but gauntlet of might you don't need to get the alpha or beta version of it Yeah, yeah, you know if you want to get a hundred thousand out of Black Lotus You know use it in your what was that vintage vintage deck legacy silly anyway look This card is autographed by the artist.
They consider it to be racist.
I think it's ridiculous.
It's just a person wearing a steel mask or whatever.
But the card's terrible.
It's not good at all.
It's actually a really bad card, to be honest.
So it has no usefulness.
So the value of the card is nothing.
But when they banned it, everybody rushed to buy it, causing a massive spike.
Now it's back to being useless again, and not only is it useless, but it was banned.
So they really don't have... They may become collectibles in the future, but no, I got them in defiance.
I got them in complete defiance, and then I started looking up Magic the Gathering decks that are overt, that use all of the perceivably racist cards.
adam crigler
Do you find them?
tim pool
Are they out there?
Yeah, yeah, and there's like one where it's like the whole deck is white and everything is just like makes white
adam crigler
better and like What is that card that I found?
It's the one with the slaves you create like three One one. Oh one. Oh, excuse me. Oh, why don't you know
power? Oh one black surf tokens
tim pool
creatures To clarify this is black magic not it is a black creature
adam crigler
right, but that's creates black and then when the when the Main creature dies all the surfs die with them
tim pool
That's really bad. Oh, that's that's That's way more racist than any of these cards they banned.
adam crigler
I know!
I know it is.
I saw it and I couldn't even believe it.
You know what?
I'll post a picture of it after the show.
lydia smith
Yeah, we gotta find that.
adam crigler
I have it in the other room.
tim pool
Here's the other thing too.
It's insane.
You haven't seen the Harry Potter movies.
adam crigler
No, I haven't.
tim pool
But you have.
lydia smith
I have.
tim pool
Have you ever wondered about the bankers at Gringotts?
lydia smith
I am aware of the correlation between the bankers and some slight biases against certain racial groups.
Yep.
tim pool
So, the bankers in Harry Potter are short, hook-nosed goblins.
adam crigler
Oh no.
I know you're going with this.
tim pool
No, it's not where I went, it's where people have been bringing this up.
adam crigler
The card that you found.
See, after this all happened, we have a lot of cards together, me and Tim.
So we were looking through our cards like, oh man, oh, total racist.
Racist.
And then we were kind of joking because it's four, you know, five colors.
So there's a black color and a white color.
So it's easy to go up.
This is this is a racist card.
But then we started waiting a second.
Well, so I mean, Wizards of the Coast declared these rules.
They're the ones who said this is racism now.
tim pool
I put it simply.
adam crigler
It's their fault.
tim pool
I said, I bet I can take any one of my decks and find a racist card.
adam crigler
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
And so I pulled up one deck, I went through it, and there's a card that's a new one, it's called Dockside Extortionist.
Oh.
And it's a hook-nosed little goblin holding a sack of money, laughing.
And I'm like, dude!
lydia smith
What on earth?
tim pool
What, what, okay.
I'm curious as to what their view is of creating the goblin stereotype and, like, how they make the art for a lot of these cards.
adam crigler
I don't know.
tim pool
The game has... it's not racist.
But if you want to play the game of, like, well, I don't know, this looks like the person is in prison, but it's also a brown person, it's like, oh, is that the game you want to play?
lydia smith
Oh, we can actually play that game.
tim pool
Everything in the game will not be racist.
adam crigler
Eventually everything in life will be racist.
lydia smith
That's true, too.
unidentified
Yep.
adam crigler
And we won't be able to speak anymore.
lydia smith
It'll be real boring.
No jokes.
adam crigler
Sounds like a fun life.
lydia smith
Yeah, I'm very excited.
tim pool
Yep.
Well, you reap what you sow.
People won't stand up.
Daniel Kerr says Adam, just move back here to Arizona.
Decent gun rights.
Well, we're working.
We got some, uh, in one month.
adam crigler
We got some plans.
unidentified
In one month.
lydia smith
Oh my gosh, I'm so excited.
adam crigler
We're not going to say much.
Go ahead, what were you going to say?
One month what?
tim pool
In one month we'll be done with the iteration.
We'll be ready to launch the next iteration.
lydia smith
Yes.
Oh, yes.
adam crigler
I am thrilled.
I can't say anything more.
I actually didn't say anything.
So, technically I'm just saying nothing.
lydia smith
We're excited.
We're doing stuff.
tim pool
Paxton Fairbanks.
Paxton Fairbanks says, Tim, I want to thank you for showing me how to achieve my dreams.
Your story about what you did to become a journalist that others wouldn't helped show the way forward for me.
I am flying down to Austin in a week.
Fresh start.
unidentified
Cool.
tim pool
Glad to hear it, man.
lydia smith
Nice!
adam crigler
Work hard and do your best.
tim pool
Cloud9v20 says, people who commit the most crime in the country by race, which is the unfortunate lens that we are required now to look through, want to keep committing crime and not get caught or punished.
This is the problem I have with a lot of these lefty social justice people when they try to bring up the disproportionate policing numbers.
I'm like, bro, this is the horseshoe touching.
adam crigler
Oh, wait, you want to talk statistics?
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
It's like, okay, we can talk.
lydia smith
Let's do that.
adam crigler
No, no, no, you don't.
Oh, you don't want to?
No.
Oh, only specific statistics.
tim pool
Exactly.
adam crigler
Ah, okay.
tim pool
I'm done.
adam crigler
I'm done.
tim pool
The left only talks about the policing.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And then the right.
Far right.
I hate far right because it doesn't really make sense.
But the inversion of their politics entertains why there's disproportionate policing.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
And I was talking to my friend who was like, but you know that the police disproportionately target minorities.
And I said, and that's the exact same argument used by white supremacists who say, I completely agree with you because they're committing the crime.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
And I'm like, and it totally disregards that class is the real issue.
Police disproportionately target poor people because poverty breeds crime.
adam crigler
Not culture.
lydia smith
Class.
Does that have anything to do with culture?
tim pool
Somewhat.
lydia smith
I know they're not the same.
tim pool
Culture does play a role, though.
adam crigler
Yeah, but not... I don't know.
I don't think I agree with that.
I think it's a class issue, totally.
tim pool
There have been a lot of instances where people were shot by cops because their pants were falling down.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And they reached to their waist to pull their pants up, and the cop thinks they're pulling the gun out and shoots them.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Then there are people who have, you know, jeans pulled up to their elbows, to their armpits, with tucked in shirts, and the cops can clearly see they're not armed.
So culture does play an issue on whether the cops are gonna freak out.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Yeah.
But it's minor.
adam crigler
Great example.
tim pool
It is.
No, but there was specifically one story where, like, a cop came out of a store, and he saw a guy that he was looking for, and he says, you know, put your hands up, and the dude had baggy pants falling down, and he reaches down, and the cop went, no!
And shot him.
adam crigler
Okay.
Yeah, dude. Yeah, there was also that that dude the white again with the pants down thing, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's
tim pool
a specific example, right?
Yeah, so so there's cultural issues that can contribute but it is extremely minute relative to the class issue of
things. Yeah, because You know, this is what I keep saying. Like you can look at
actual systemic racism It's a real thing.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And there's actual institutional racism, and we can have long conversations about this, but it's not what the left describes it as.
They make it seem like there's evil, you know, white men going, now I'll create an institution that is racist!
When in reality, it's like remnants of yore.
And then what happens is instead of trying to solve the problem, which is class-based, they try to create racialized law, which makes everything worse.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Everything gets worse when they do that.
adam crigler
That's basically what's happening right now.
tim pool
Yeah, and they shouldn't do it, but you know what?
They do, because whatever.
Caleb Field says, have you seen Crowder's epic apology video after the apocalypse?
Yes, I did.
It was amazing.
lydia smith
The perfect apology video.
tim pool
I haven't seen it.
Should I go see it?
adam crigler
Yeah.
lydia smith
Go watch it.
tim pool
What was he basically doing?
Like apologizing, but saying the joke?
lydia smith
Yes, he would repeat the joke, and he's like, I'm very sorry that we did this, and that we did this, and that we did this, and he just raked them over it again and again.
unidentified
It was great.
tim pool
It was fantastic.
I'm glad he's someone who doesn't, you know, just bend the knee.
adam crigler
I'm glad they exist.
lydia smith
Slightly disagreeable.
tim pool
All right, let's see what we got here.
Sam Nguyen, how do you pronounce that?
Nguyen?
Says, thank you, appreciate it.
Bomber the Dwarf says, at least 20 dead in India versus China border clash.
So things are getting a little spicy over in India.
adam crigler
Yeah, we'll have more information.
I wanted to talk about this, but I think a lot of people are asking me on my on my tweet.
A lot of people are asking us to talk about this clash.
tim pool
So we had the initial story pulled up, but we definitely need a day to like read all about deep dive.
Not necessarily a deep dive, but I think instead of just like looking at a news article and being like, wow, you know, hey, let's read that.
We need to actually have more context.
So like when we talk about, you know, Gandhi or Google, all this stuff, or what's going on in, uh, uh, New Mexico, we have so much cultural context around all of these issues that we, we know we can tap into that.
I can't tell you anything about India's borders.
I don't know, Pakistan or something.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
I don't know enough about it.
adam crigler
I know a lot about it, but that's okay.
unidentified
We can do it.
tim pool
SmebLO says, what we are facing is a power struggle between the street left and the government left.
When the right realizes what is really facing, no one will be safe.
I guess it's a good point.
What is it, the street right?
Or is it the struggle between the street left and the government left?
lydia smith
That's interesting.
tim pool
No, I think there's also the street right.
There's a lot of conservatives who are very active in politics, and then there are a bunch of regular conservatives who don't pay attention who are probably armed and serious.
Scott Brumley says, I will pay $50 if the IRL crew will sing I Want to Teach the World to Sing.
I don't know that song, unfortunately.
lydia smith
That's the Coke song.
adam crigler
I don't know it either.
tim pool
The Coke song?
lydia smith
The Coke song.
I'd like to teach the world to sing or something?
tim pool
I don't know it.
lydia smith
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
adam crigler
No, I don't know it.
lydia smith
Old school.
tim pool
Kieran Williams says, I am mixed white black.
My dad is conservative.
I became a conservative.
I rebelled against him.
My white mom had no affiliation.
I rebelled by acting gangsta, selling drugs, etc.
I stopped.
Sorry, Adam.
It's also culture.
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
TurtleBurger says, the fact that you don't think the card is racist is what makes you and the card racist.
That's what Twitter says, so it has to be true.
It's where I get all my news and wisdom.
lydia smith
Yes, indeed.
tim pool
Actually, there's a really good point about culture, too, in Chicago, because they have, on the South Side, just, you know, being hard, where it's like, you gotta be hard.
You can't back down.
No one can challenge your name and your honor.
And you also had gang culture.
And the being hard stuff is why there's so much gun death in Chicago.
There's a big factor.
Because someone will insult someone else and they'll be like, you know, I'm gonna go shoot you.
adam crigler
Yeah, you're not allowed to back down.
tim pool
It's a sign of weakness.
Yeah, and they go buy guns.
So that's something that doesn't really exist in suburban white American culture.
They go to rugby practice or whatever, or you know, soccer moms, and then they play sports and then they go home.
So there are definitely cultural issues.
Especially if you look at like, I think, you know, poor white people definitely have their cultural problems too.
Drugs, opiates, etc.
And guns, you know.
But there's a different attitude, I guess, around it.
I think it probably comes from a lot from, like, I guess, like, the symbol of, like, the Gadsden flag, for instance.
Don't tread on me, let me do my thing.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Whereas in Chicago, they don't have that at all.
It's like, you know, if you come at me, I'll come at you.
Which is kind of the same thing, but everyone's so close together, it's like you're constantly in everyone else's spaces.
adam crigler
Well, it's like they adopted that because of the class problems in the first place.
lydia smith
There's a lot of, yeah, overlap.
tim pool
Like, what do you mean?
adam crigler
Like, adapted?
Their new culture that you're saying that they have now, because they live in these situations, it's because they've been put in these situations.
Because it is the class issue that's kind of... That's what Lydia said, they kind of mesh together, you know?
It's like, that's right.
tim pool
I think it would be interesting to look at how Chicago came to be a place where in certain areas, so in my neighborhood for instance, I grew up by Midway Airport.
There was no going hard culture like that at all.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
But we go one mile down, a lot of our friends did have this and did join gangs and did want to be tough.
Yeah.
And there was definitely a racial divide on these barriers, like 47th Street was where across north of that was like housing projects in the black community.
We had a lot of, uh, like we were across the street from one suburb called Stickney, which is mostly poor whites.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And they were just like drug addled redneck types.
And then you had, if you cross Cicero, it's became more Hispanic and Latino.
And it really was very different.
Like the cultures for each area was very, very different.
adam crigler
So, but then you take Chicago, for example, it's like they took all of the low, Cabrini Green, for example, they got rid of it and forced everyone to the south side.
That is the definition of class.
They were like, no, we're going to wipe all of the low income housing, anyone that's lower class, we're going to get rid of them on the north side of Chicago because we're going to make the north side of Chicago really pretty and nice for the upper class people.
And everyone go down there and fight amongst yourselves.
And then deaths rose like crazy in Chicago.
tim pool
It wasn't so simplistic.
They were thinking, how do you stop all of this crime and gang activity?
adam crigler
Shove them all in the same place and increase the... It increased it all.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
They were killing... It was Chirac for a long time.
unidentified
You're right.
adam crigler
It still is.
I know, exactly.
tim pool
But why did they become people who are like, I'm going to kill you if you disrespect me?
Like, I'm not saying I know.
adam crigler
I don't know the answer either.
tim pool
That didn't exist in my neighborhood, but I could go two miles.
I could walk 20 minutes and be in a neighborhood where that's how they felt.
adam crigler
I mean, I lived out in the suburbs of Chicago, like 45 minutes an hour out, and I had that exact thing when I got shot at.
It's like, it was because my friend's hat was cocked in a different direction.
And they were like, take that hat off.
And he was like, no.
And they were like, OK, OK, and walked away.
And then, boom, bullets started riddling at us.
It was crazy.
tim pool
But your friend, like, so where did that culture come from, I guess, right?
adam crigler
I don't know.
Where did it come from?
tim pool
Like, I will kill you for something really dumb.
adam crigler
For the direction of your ass.
lydia smith
Yes.
adam crigler
Right.
That's what it was about.
lydia smith
Seriously.
adam crigler
I don't know.
tim pool
I'd be interested to look into why it is that where I lived, there was a certain area that me and all my friends would frequent, and you could seriously go a couple miles and there was murder just everywhere.
Like straight murders.
Like my buddy was telling me that he went to take the garbage out and saw people dragging a carpet with feet hanging out.
And that was like two or three miles from my house, going straight down 63rd on the south side.
So it's like, you could literally walk there in like an hour or whatever.
And you've gone to one area where the culture there is very suburban, mowing the lawn, going to Catholic school.
You walk one mile and it's, are you in the gang yet?
So like, it's just, I don't, I don't understand.
And it wasn't necessarily a racial divide, but there typically was a racial divide.
adam crigler
So class breeds a new culture.
And in essence, you know, so it is, it is one in the same.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
I'm sure there's a bunch of like, I can think of all the SJW arguments.
Well, they're traumatized, so they clearly are striking back because they're looking for a symbol to take down or some other academic BS.
adam crigler
It's like, no, they're stuck in a class they can't get out of.
They don't have the privilege of, you know, being able to, you know, their culture, you said like earlier, They're going to play rugby or football or whatever.
Football practice.
But in this area, are you in the game yet?
tim pool
That doesn't explain why in the same area within a mile or so, the same poverty index and everything, there's different cultures.
That's what I'm saying.
adam crigler
Yeah, because culture exists.
I'm not saying culture doesn't exist.
tim pool
No, I'm saying I'd be curious to understand why it is that in an area where everyone basically is as poor as each other, You have different cultures side by side.
Once you cross Cicero, all of a sudden, it's all about this different way of thinking and doing things.
And we had friends on each side.
We had friends who became gangbangers.
And some people who lived in the nice areas started doing drugs.
But it's like...
Everybody in this specific area was basically as poor as everyone else.
It was the same class area.
But you literally had pockets of, like, different cultures once you crossed certain barriers, certain divides.
So I don't know, I'm just curious, like, why, how does that come to be, you know?
Alright, let's see what we got here.
Brian Brinkeroff says, having a cis is the 70th, uh, in the 73rd witnessed firsthand the insp of SS cup?
I don't know what this is, what is this?
adam crigler
I don't know what that means.
tim pool
SS claimed that cleaning the machines chemically, accidentally... I don't know what that is.
adam crigler
Is that the cop that got poisoned or something?
lydia smith
The Shake Shack.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
adam crigler
I heard it was... It could have been an accident.
lydia smith
It could have been an accident.
adam crigler
Yeah, because of the way they clean the machines.
tim pool
Is that what they're talking about?
A cis in the 73rd... Okay, you're talking about the police department.
lydia smith
There we go.
tim pool
Witnessed firsthand the insp of Shake Shack cop.
Okay.
Shake Shack claimed that cleaning the machines chemically, chemical accidentally got in their cup.
When ordered, 4.40 p.m.
I don't know who cleans mid-shift, but it is suspicious.
Yeah, okay, there we go.
adam crigler
It is awfully suspicious.
lydia smith
We translated successfully.
tim pool
Yeah.
The deli... the deluxe?
When you are poor, you get desperate and take specific opportunities.
These influence culture, and since you fight over resources, they separate into gangs.
adam crigler
That makes sense.
tim pool
But it didn't, it didn't affect my area.
Like, you could literally cross the street.
adam crigler
Well, Tim, you're what?
tim pool
Oh, yeah.
adam crigler
You have white privilege.
lydia smith
Oh, that's right.
tim pool
That's true.
adam crigler
So.
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
You could literally cross the street, different culture.
Yeah, that's weird.
lydia smith
That is weird.
tim pool
Very weird.
I mean, we're in a simulation.
adam crigler
And it's funny because everyone likes to say all Americans are the same.
Oh, that's like, yeah, dude, the biggest laugh ever, because it's like Europeans, they get so offended when you, you know, like, oh, well, aren't you the same as like Italians?
And they're like, whoa, yeah.
Yeah, but you're right next to each other.
How can all Americans be the same when we got a block difference?
Yeah.
It's night and day.
It's like a different country.
tim pool
Well, we did a whole segment on this.
They raised the whole housing projects two blocks from where I grew up.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's true.
tim pool
Raised.
It's nothing but grass.
adam crigler
That's what they did.
tim pool
Crazy.
adam crigler
That's what they did with the north side of Chicago.
So they're doing it.
They're just trying to purge all of Chicago of low income housing.
And I mean... It doesn't work that way.
I mean, if all these people move out into the countryside and get houses and farms, awesome!
Because that means they're gonna be more self-sufficient and be able to fend for themselves.
So it's like, alright.
tim pool
Maybe the, you know, welfare is an addiction.
That the more you expand it, the more you need to expand it, and it just never ends.
Because you're giving people fish instead of teaching them to fish.
adam crigler
Yep.
And people need to be... We gotta teach people to fish.
lydia smith
Amen.
adam crigler
Teach people to farm.
tim pool
And that's the right welfare.
adam crigler
Teach people to live.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
So job placement programs, training programs, which they have, they do, they do.
And sometimes they actually require them if you want to get certain welfare benefits.
However, the bad news is it is past 10 o'clock.
adam crigler
Yeah, we kind of went off a little bit there.
lydia smith
That was a good conversation.
Yeah, we had a good time though.
tim pool
We had a good time, everybody.
adam crigler
That's what this show is about.
Having conversations.
tim pool
Tim is asking dangerous questions.
Abort, abort.
All right, we got one more super chat popped up.
We got a couple.
Jason Solo says, context on the China-Pakistan-India conflict, Asia is running out of fresh water, and China controls the source to all fresh water rivers, Tibet.
adam crigler
What did I say?
unidentified
I told you it was because of water.
adam crigler
It's water wars.
Anyway, I don't want to fill you in with all my info.
I'll have to wait until we actually talk about it.
tim pool
I've been listening for a few nights and you haven't read my superchats.
Take this 20, spin the UFO, and notice me, dammit.
lydia smith
Yeah, okay.
adam crigler
There you go.
lydia smith
There you go.
adam crigler
I'm gonna spin it opposite.
I don't do this often.
tim pool
Spin it opposite.
adam crigler
I don't do it often.
But for you, I will.
lydia smith
Thanks, man.
tim pool
So here we go.
It says, Zombie Shoot says, looks like the Antifa guy shot in New Mexico by the blue shirt guy had two knives in his hand.
Pick on Twitter.
Watch video and slow it down to see.
adam crigler
Wow, really?
I mean, they were yelling, let's kill this dude.
tim pool
Yeah.
Straight up telling them they were gonna do it.
adam crigler
Before I even saw the knives, I was like, I don't, I'm not surprised he shot them.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Oh, this is cool.
Joseph Caskey says, read Seoul.
He talks about how these cultures that exist in different parts of cities came to be.
It's very dense and difficult to explain in a super chat.
unidentified
Cool.
lydia smith
Yep.
I love that man.
tim pool
Ken W says, if you talk to Biteswa, they use the thinking that one is more intellectually smarter than others has rights to look down on others.
This superiority way of thinking is no different from racists.
Definitely.
adam crigler
Yeah, and Oxford just said that, you know, for their black students, they don't have to do as much work now.
tim pool
So what's the degree worth?
adam crigler
It's so belittling.
Like you need help.
Your race means you need more help and you don't have to do as much stuff as others.
How demeaning is that?
tim pool
Somebody noticed the shirt fade.
adam crigler
Oh yeah, this is my custom.
My custom design.
tim pool
It's the post-apocalyptic version.
lydia smith
Yeah, he survived.
adam crigler
This was one day of skateboarding.
lydia smith
Yeah, that's right.
tim pool
But hold on.
Grim Soul Banisher says, turn your shirts inside out.
lydia smith
Yeah, that's what I did with mine.
Yeah, it worked great.
tim pool
However, this is because this is literally the first shirt that was made.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's true.
tim pool
And apparently it happens.
No, no, no.
adam crigler
Straight up, the ink was wet when I got this shirt.
unidentified
Oh wow.
adam crigler
It was still wet.
I was like, whoa.
Because they got it to us.
We got it like two days later.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
I hear ironing it.
adam crigler
Yeah, ironing it.
tim pool
I give it an iron and then turn it inside out and wash it.
adam crigler
But to be honest, I love it.
lydia smith
I like it too.
adam crigler
I love this.
tim pool
It looks like my eye's been ripped out.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
Scars.
adam crigler
Hardcore.
lydia smith
I did that.
adam crigler
I did that.
After Friday night I was like, rip your eye out, Tim.
unidentified
No, just kidding.
lydia smith
Sure.
unidentified
I don't believe it.
tim pool
Somebody superchatted saying, stop the UFO.
lydia smith
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
adam crigler
Excuse me?
tim pool
What?
lydia smith
We can't do that.
adam crigler
I've never said this before.
Get out.
That's right, get out.
tim pool
Ladies and gentlemen.
lydia smith
Alright, Adam.
tim pool
There is something that I need you to do for us.
lydia smith
Oh, what is it?
adam crigler
Smash the like button!
lydia smith
Oh, snap.
adam crigler
Smash, smash, smash!
tim pool
Smash that like button.
adam crigler
Smash it before you go.
tim pool
So we usually do the show up until about 10 p.m.
So we are going to be back tomorrow at 8 p.m.
You can follow me on Twitter and Instagram at TimCast.
Do it because I complain about stuff all the time and I know you love hearing it.
You can also follow at AdamKrigler.
lydia smith
He does not complain.
tim pool
