unidentified
This is the end.
The end of Chaz, my friend.
tim pool
It's over.
unidentified
Yay!
There you go.
tim pool
I sang a song for all of you.
Chaz is gone!
adam crigler
No, it's just morphing to a different city.
tim pool
No, no, no!
Chaz is gone!
It was destroyed!
adam crigler
Sure.
tim pool
They ripped its heart out.
adam crigler
And toss it over to the other side of the country.
tim pool
Chaz came back!
adam crigler
Pass!
tim pool
No, this is Son of Chaz.
adam crigler
Pass the ball!
tim pool
This is Son of Chaz.
Son of Chaz.
adam crigler
They escaped from the west coast to land in New York.
tim pool
You know what's funny?
We just watched Escape from L.A.
and I don't know if you guys have ever seen that with Kurt Russell.
His name is Snake Plissken.
adam crigler
Snake Plissken.
tim pool
And then Dan Bongino.
We came back into the show and we saw a tweet from Dan Bongino where he was like, New York is entering the Snake Plissken phase.
And we're like, wait!
So the Chazz has moved from Seattle now into New York and the cops have, they're standing down.
And so he's making a reference to the 1981 film, classic film, Escape from New York.
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
Classic and cheesy.
tim pool
And but it was crazy because we were, I just turned on, I opened up Amazon, right?
We're eating, we're eating lunch or dinner or whatever.
And it recommended Escape from LA.
And I, and as soon as I saw it, I put it on and then you were like, yeah, Escape from LA.
And I was like, but I didn't choose this.
The algorithm put it on the front page telling me to watch it.
adam crigler
You're gonna need to know this reference before the show tonight, Tim.
That's what the algorithm was saying.
tim pool
But I think we're all being manipulated by these algorithms we created.
So all the videos we see, all the Facebook posts, all the Twitter feeds, all this stuff, it's all algorithmic.
And so humans create this system to feed us what we like, and it creates a feedback loop, making us go nuts.
And now Chaz and the Fourth of July is racist.
Mount Rushmore is racist.
adam crigler
And being American is racist.
tim pool
Oh, America's totally racist, man.
unidentified
Come on.
adam crigler
Being proud to be American is now racist.
tim pool
So we gotta, we gotta, um, man it's a crazy world out there.
adam crigler
Indeed it is.
tim pool
It just, it feels crazier.
It feels, it feels weird.
I was having a conversation earlier with somebody who told me that it felt like there was something in the air, like just, it just, you can feel something.
lydia smith
Electric.
tim pool
Yeah, like the air is charged, there's danger in the air, and I was like...
Feels like a switch got flicked last week, or like last week or two weeks ago.
Just like, boom, it turned on and now we're seeing... Wait, the Louisville Mass Shooter?
The Black Lives Matter guy?
adam crigler
It's your fault, Tim.
tim pool
My fault?
adam crigler
Yeah, you did it.
tim pool
What did I do?
adam crigler
We had an episode that we both ranted.
We both... We didn't hold back.
We both vented our thoughts.
And that was the catalyst, man.
Everything changed that day.
I'm not saying it's exactly us, but something in the air changed that day.
tim pool
It's you, not me.
Okay.
I'm without fault.
lydia smith
Totally innocent.
adam crigler
Way to stay true to your roots.
I'm kidding.
tim pool
It's you!
unidentified
Okay.
adam crigler
I take the blame.
I don't care.
tim pool
Listen, it was before this.
I mean, it feels like within the past couple weeks, Something just changed and everyone just, it's just like a powder keg just went off.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And I wonder if what it is, because I always talk about how like we're sitting on the precipice.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I wonder if we went over and now it's terminal velocity.
adam crigler
I think it is.
tim pool
So in Provo, Utah, we got a lot of stuff to talk about.
An SUV seemingly unrelated to any of these protests is a regular dude was driving down the street, and there was a bunch of people in the middle of the street, and they tried turning.
Some dude with a Black Lives Matter guy runs up to the car and pulls out a gun and just shoots the driver.
Literally shoots the driver.
The driver still tries avoiding hitting people, gets out of there, and the latest update is that the police have arrested a guy on an attempted aggravated murder charge.
It's like, wow.
Good. We're at that level, right?
Then you have in Louisville.
These are things I think we've talked about in Louisville.
You had a guy just firing indiscriminately into the park, killed a
photographer. Yeah, it's got a guy in the face.
So this stuff, this escalation is just like it's terminal velocity almost.
You know what I mean? What I mean by that is you could argue that
if it was as fast as possible, like all of a sudden right now, you see people
But no, it's accelerating.
It's step-by-step towards some kind of really crazy... I don't know, whatever you want to call it.
Civil war?
Unrest?
Something?
adam crigler
Boogaloo?
tim pool
Boogaloo, man.
adam crigler
Dare I say it?
unidentified
Boogaloo?
tim pool
And I was talking about this earlier, too, because Facebook purged a bunch of the Boogaloo accounts.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And you see a lot of people in media try claiming the Boogaloo boys are all, like, far-right extremists and all that stuff.
And I'm like, dude, even the leftists think a civil war is coming.
They're literally calling it an uprising, a revolution.
They're talking about how June 2020 will be in the history books and they're going to win.
Like, if anyone's been driving this and trying to make it happen, it's been Antifa on the far left.
Now, of course, the Democrats tell you Antifa is literally imaginary.
That's literally what I think Nadler said.
Imaginary things like Antifa.
It's creepy.
I wonder if they're just isolated and they don't read news.
Because even the Republicans are ineffective and not paying attention.
I don't even know what they're doing.
One of the first stories we have, they clear the Chazz out and we're going to talk about the destruction of the Chazz, the re-emergence of the New York Chazz, gun sales.
We got the numbers for June.
145% increase in June.
What did you say it was, 8.3 million guns sold?
adam crigler
Since March.
Just since March alone, 8.3 million guns.
Oh my gosh.
That's 8.3 million new guns all around America.
tim pool
That's a lot of guns, man.
adam crigler
That's a lot of guns.
tim pool
And I think it was like millions of people doing background checks, too?
adam crigler
I think the number was like 40% were all new gun buyers.
Like brand new, never owned a gun in their life, went out and bought a gun.
tim pool
So the numbers we're talking about now is the update.
It's June.
So we had the May numbers before.
We've talked about it.
Now we're in June and now it's like another 145% increase year over year.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Wow, man.
And people are sharing the gun metrics.
There's a funny tweet from a New York Times writer.
Quoting Trump and saying it's like, they said something like, Trump thinks he's in a crime drama when literally no one feels that way.
And I'm like, gun sales would disagree.
People are watching the news.
adam crigler
Murder rates are skyrocketing.
tim pool
Shootings.
adam crigler
They would disagree too.
tim pool
New York shootings, Chicago.
adam crigler
Yeah, New York, de Blasio's like, we've had sadly four deaths or six deaths or something over the past day.
And he didn't mention at all, like the 19 murdered victims from being shot.
It's like, uh, okay, let's focus on the COVID deaths, huh?
tim pool
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna tell you what's crazy.
adam crigler
Sure.
tim pool
We can talk about all these stories, but it just needs to be succinctly said that the, the, the, the government of Washington and Seattle, allowed domestic terrorists to take over a portion of the city.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
And they actually killed people.
adam crigler
They admitted that they allowed it.
tim pool
And they celebrated it.
adam crigler
They encouraged it.
unidentified
Yep.
adam crigler
Now there's blood on their hands.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
Then these extremists actually killed people.
So here's what I got to tell you about the Chaz.
adam crigler
And now they're being sued.
tim pool
I want to tell you about the Chaz.
The first thing, and I'm going to launch the first segment on this, but if you haven't already, the most important thing you can do is smash the like button.
lydia smith
Yes, I got it tonight.
tim pool
Smash the like button.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
So, um, I'm gonna try something.
We talked about this the other day.
The like button really, really does help.
And we made a point about... Smashing it?
Well, some people, you know, won't do it.
And I just wonder what it is that creates that level of inactivity where they're like, I don't care.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
You don't have to smash it.
lydia smith
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
adam crigler
That's not necessarily true.
You better smash that like button.
unidentified
Yes, you must.
lydia smith
You have to, yes.
tim pool
But no, no, it's an issue of like voting.
The point we were making before is that if... Not everybody votes.
Not everybody votes.
But they're willing to engage, they're listening, they agree, but they won't take the action to actually support something they believe in.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And that's one of the biggest weaknesses of everybody who's not Antifa, basically.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Because the Antifa people are zealous.
lydia smith
They're doing stuff.
tim pool
And that's what we're going to get into.
So smash the subscribe button and the notification bell.
Let's jump over to this first story and just get this out.
This is from the post-millennial.
I watched this video.
I don't want to get killed by these Antifa people.
Seattle resident speaks out about life in the occupied zone.
Now, he gets asked, so it's a bit pointed.
They say, do you feel like you're in a hostage situation?
And he says, yes.
You know, these people are, they've got assault weapons and they're doing weird things.
Let me tell you what happened.
In Seattle.
And I think it's fair to, you know, I'll take a little bit of the criticism, too, because I said, to be fair, a lot of people were acting like it was, you know, extremists were overrunning it and it was vegan ISIS taking over.
And I'm like, yes, there are armed people there, yes, there are anti-extremists, but a lot of it was hippie-dippie dancing.
The famous Chazistani Gardens, the LARP Garden, which we all made fun of, yeah, it was silly and stupid, but it degraded really, really fast.
You basically have the government of Seattle and Washington allowing extremists to take over a portion of the city and they actually killed people.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
This is the crazy- so let's try and break- I want to try and break down some of the rumors.
What this guy's talking about and where we're at so far with the- the CHAZ has been dismantled.
It's re- there's a new CHAZ emerging in New York.
Now to be fair, People are calling it New York Chazz.
But Chazz literally means Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.
lydia smith
Yeah, that's not quite right.
tim pool
And officially, it's just the occupied city hall or something.
But people are calling it New York Chazz.
So the other day, you know, we all heard these stories.
A van, an SUV apparently got shot up and someone died.
There's a lot of details now emerging and conflicting narratives emerging on the left and the right.
I think the left narrative coming out of the park is completely wrong and I think they're pushing the story to protect themselves.
So let me tell you first what they claimed happened.
There was an SUV and it was driving around shooting at people.
So they fired back and killed the driver.
I believe they killed the driver, I'm not sure.
But one of the people inside, a 16-year-old black male was killed and a 14-year-old black male was critically injured.
And they said they were defending it.
It rammed into the barricades and then they shot at it because they were shooting.
And that's their story.
Based on audio from live streams, you can hear what some of the Chazistani guardsmen say.
I don't buy it.
adam crigler
I don't buy it either.
tim pool
So in the livestream, it actually sounds like they fire first.
But you could argue the SUV fired first.
The only problem, they didn't find any weapons or any casings or anything to indicate anyone in the car was shooting.
adam crigler
They weren't shooting anything.
tim pool
Well, here's the story that's coming out now from more of the right, and this does overlap a little bit more accurately with official mainstream stories.
There's actually a graphic going around laying it out.
They said, a 16-year-old and a 14-year-old stole an SUV near Chaz and were joyriding and doing donuts in the park.
Somebody claimed they had guns, so the Chaz guard thought they were under attack and unloaded for 10 minutes 300 plus rounds into the vehicle.
On the live stream, and you can hear this, and I heard this, and it's chilling.
You hear someone say, oh, you're still alive?
Or something?
adam crigler
Slur.
tim pool
Yeah, slur.
You wanna get pistol whipped?
And then according to some of the story, he then pointed the gun at one of the kids who died and took him out.
Ended his life.
So I don't know if that's true, right?
Because obviously you have propaganda.
People trying to justify or whatever.
I gotta say though, From the sound of the live stream, it sounds like they fired at the vehicle before the vehicle crashes.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
It does sound that way, at least to me, and it could be wrong.
And the fact that they picked clean the vehicle before the cops could come in, I think they knew that they killed an unarmed black teenager, and I think they knew this was their only opportunity to clear out the evidence before the cops came in.
That's what I think happened.
I don't know, though.
Nobody will.
And that's the problem with having no cops.
Quite literally, this place devolved into... I mean, what do you even call it?
A war zone.
adam crigler
Basically.
tim pool
This... Listen.
I'm not kidding with this video, where they... You see... This dude's streaming.
And you see people with rifles running up and ducking behind barricades.
And I'm like, this is a war zone!
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Why... Who are these people with long guns, and what are they doing?
Shooting up this vehicle, killing a kid.
Now, here's the most important bit.
We can talk about what we think happened, what people are saying.
There's a kid who's still alive.
adam crigler
The 14-year-old?
tim pool
That 14-year-old kid is in critical condition.
If he survives, he's going to tell us exactly what happened.
lydia smith
Good.
adam crigler
I don't know.
We'll see.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Because they hold true to not speaking.
tim pool
But I don't think these are kids, man.
I don't think they have anything to do with the political ideology or what this group was.
adam crigler
I don't know, it's still written pretty hardcore into a lot of youth, like snitches get stitches.
Yeah, that's true.
I don't know the cultural background, where they're from.
tim pool
Don't talk to cops.
Yeah, but maybe the city comes in, and I'd be willing to bet there's like a I'm willing to bet the fringe zealots will not be able to offer this kid anything that the establishment, you know, could, right?
So, they're gonna be like, you name it, it's yours, tell us what happened.
The SPD is under attack, and if they have an opportunity now to point the finger and prove that the Chazistani dudes did something wrong, I'm willing to bet they try and get this kid to speak up.
adam crigler
Have people been arrested for this?
tim pool
For the shooting?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I don't believe so.
I don't think so.
Well, the cops weren't there.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
So the SPD took back the department today.
And there's a funny video where you can hear someone yell, like, we got it back or something.
Like the cops are coming back to their department.
And we'll see how long this lasts, but I think they've effectively crushed Chaz.
You know what's really funny about it, though?
After five shootings actually hitting people, and according to one live streamer there were other shootings where no one got hit, the mayor didn't do anything about it.
unidentified
Nope.
tim pool
You know what made her get up off her butt?
adam crigler
Yeah.
They got to her house and started setting up Chaz 2.0 outside her place.
tim pool
And then she was like, nope!
adam crigler
Yep, exactly.
Real conservative, real fast.
of them the very next day they were done.
tim pool
These politicians are more than happy to allow the lunatics to romp about your neighborhood.
But as soon as you bring it to their house, snap, here comes the SWAT cops and the riot
unidentified
cops and they crush everything.
tim pool
I mean, it's like what a despot would do.
Telling the crazy people, you're allowed to do whatever you want with my protection, but if you cross me, I will crush you.
And they did, and snap.
And the mayor's trying to get a councilman expelled because she was organizing protests.
adam crigler
Well, I think the reason why is because that councilwoman had access to her address and that's how they found out her address.
tim pool
Right.
adam crigler
Because it's private information.
So they wouldn't have been able to find her house without that councilwoman.
tim pool
Yep.
adam crigler
So it's like, okay, well, you kind of ask for it.
tim pool
You take a look at what happened and I mean, this has been a crazy week.
This month has been crazy.
adam crigler
This year.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
What comes next?
adam crigler
This is the craziest year of my life.
tim pool
I gotta say it.
unidentified
I gotta say it.
tim pool
Ladies and gentlemen.
adam crigler
I've had a crazy life.
tim pool
There is supposed to be a, what do they call it, a full buck moon on July 4th.
adam crigler
What exactly is that?
tim pool
A full lunar eclipse.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
The total blackout of the moon on July 4th.
It's gonna be crazy.
lydia smith
What is happening?
tim pool
And there's gonna be a large antifa, what, flag burning?
Is that what's happening in Gettysburg?
adam crigler
In Gettysburg, yeah.
tim pool
Are they counter-protesting?
Rumors?
adam crigler
I have no idea, man.
I wouldn't be surprised.
Gettysburg.
They're going to Gettysburg to burn flags on July 4th?
It's like, what?
tim pool
Are we in some kind of movie or something?
We don't know about?
July 4th, it's a total lunar eclipse, all the antifish show up to Gettysburg, a famous civil war location.
This is perfect for some kind of stupid action movie, you know what I mean?
We're just ancillary characters in some dumb movie.
lydia smith
I'd like to be informed.
tim pool
Your whole life, all of your hopes and all your dreams, and you're an ancillary character in a Hollywood D film.
lydia smith
Thanks, Tim.
tim pool
Who wrote this POS?
unidentified
Seriously?
adam crigler
Let's be real.
tim pool
First of all, Yeah.
It feels like lightning.
Lightning's in the air.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
It's it I've been talking to some other people some other personalities and pundits who do political commentary and
stuff. Yeah, and there's kind of a Similar feeling people are like something feels weird. It
lydia smith
feels like lightning something's in the air lightning's in the air
tim pool
Yeah, and so then you have this this lunar eclipse or whatever
It's supposed to come Maybe it's just the news you know getting to us.
Yeah, the algorithms But regardless of all of that stuff you take a look at what happened with Chaz Where this this this vehicle gets shot up, and it's like these videos are nuts man.
It's like a war zone They're running through the streets and ducking behind barriers and shooting with their guns mm-hmm you take that you take Provo and In Utah, dude runs up to a vehicle, shoots the driver.
It's like, wow, man.
Who's gonna stop now for any group ever?
adam crigler
That's, well, this is what I was saying three weeks ago, when we were talking about Chaz taking over, and you were like, oh, how come these guys aren't standing up?
Like, I don't blame this, go to this article real quick.
I don't blame this guy at all, because that's exactly what I was saying.
He probably thought he was gonna get shot and killed by these people.
tim pool
That's what he said.
I'm pretty sure he said, I don't want to get killed by these Antifa people.
adam crigler
That is exactly what I was expecting.
I was like, these people are, they're not looking at the hippy dippy guys that are making a garden.
They're looking at the people surrounding the area that are kicking people out, that are segregating everybody.
And it's like, you know, their law now is the rule.
And they're killing people.
tim pool
Here's what I'm feeling.
You got this weird Chazz shooting, which is the 5th or 6th or 7th.
I lost count.
Execution style, whatever the story sounds scary.
You've got the St.
Louis couple with the guns coming out on their property.
You've got the Provo shooting, the Louisville mass shooter.
Black Lives Matter extremists start firing indiscriminately into the crowd, killed a photographer.
adam crigler
Into the protesters.
tim pool
Yes.
So what do you think happens now with all these guns being sold?
adam crigler
people are and and what we talked about yesterday you can have all the training you want but until you're in that situation and you get that shot of adrenaline going in your heart your heart's pumping you don't know what's going on dude you don't know what you you you got to be top notch man how long to handle what that kind of pressure How long until someone does something stupid?
I'm surprised we haven't seen it already.
The Chaz thing was something stupid.
It's what I've been talking about.
It's like, before the Chaz thing happened, it's like, I'm waiting for someone to make a stupid decision and just get killed and that to happen all over the place.
tim pool
You see, we referenced V for Vendetta a couple times, there's that famous part of the movie where he's narrating about what's going to happen, and he says eventually someone does something stupid.
adam crigler
Where he kills the girl.
tim pool
The little girl's skipping, and then the guy shows the badge and she won't stop, so then he shoots her, and then all the neighbors walk up with bats and crowbars.
I'm feeling something like that, but I think it's going to be an Antifa, Black Lives Matter type individual.
And there will be some young kid, 16 or whatever, this time it wasn't on camera.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
But he'll be like, you know, playing hopscotch and then some Antifa guy Does something stupid.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
And then all of a sudden the people come out of their houses with baseball bats and crowbars.
adam crigler
This ain't Seattle.
tim pool
And this time it's filmed.
adam crigler
Mother effer.
That's what that guy said, right?
Where was that?
lydia smith
In Oklahoma City.
adam crigler
Oklahoma City.
unidentified
The D.A.
adam crigler
was saying this is- No, no, no.
unidentified
No, no, no.
tim pool
It was Philly.
adam crigler
Oh, that guy was in Philly.
tim pool
When he's yelling at the camera, he's like, this ain't Seattle.
adam crigler
But the Oklahoma City- Basically the same thing, yeah.
tim pool
This is not Seattle.
lydia smith
What a rallying cry.
This is not Seattle.
tim pool
What do you think happens when one of these Antifa guys shows up in South Philly?
These guys are not overtly political dudes.
They look like they're just regular working class white dudes.
adam crigler
And we got the sheriff in Florida who's announcing, he's like, I will deputize any lawful gun owner if these protesters think they're going to come out to our county and and do what they've been doing all over the place now
we have a good community here all of us get along you know we
we swore an oath to the Constitution we're gonna
uphold that oath to the Constitution I was just what I'm saying is
tim pool
yeah one of these far-left guys shows up in South Philly and they act a fool and someone gets hurt they pull a
statue down the statue falls on a kid
something like that yeah or or they see a kid and the kid calls him
you know stupid names so they call the kid a fascist they beat the kid up
and then also you get a bunch of you know late 30s early 40s working-class white dudes with their tools on their
construction site and they just and then you see you see someone filming and
you see their ting pong pong
ching pong dung And someone's on the ground, and they're just going, pong, pong, pong, pong.
And you just hear the clanging of things pounding on somebody.
And then the video goes viral.
Something that just sets... I mean, I think what would really set off some insanity would be, like, someone shooting someone else, and it's caught on film.
If this video, if the shooting of this vehicle was captured on film, I think we'd be in a very, very different situation right now.
Because I think, in my opinion, you would see a video of a kid being executed.
I don't know for sure.
And that would have been crazy.
But here's where it all comes together, man.
Here, check this out.
This is Mediaite.
Gun sales surge up to 145% in June, smashing all-time record.
You got a lot of people who don't know how to use guns who got guns now.
lydia smith
Yeah, that makes me nervous.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
Look at that couple in St.
Louis.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
It's like, listen, man.
I've been to a range twice and I've taken one training course with the New Jersey Police Department a long time ago as part of a story I was working on and they walked me up through all these different handguns and I would not ever claim that I could properly, you know, so I'm still looking to like what we got to do to make sure we're trained and we're gonna be, you know, going to the range and setting all these things up.
But you got a lot of people who are gonna buy it and be like, point and shoot, huh?
lydia smith
Yep.
tim pool
Someone's gonna be scared from all these stories and it's gonna be like some... No, people are scared.
People are scared.
adam crigler
They already are.
They're already seeing people getting pulled out of their cars, getting shot at for simply being in your car.
You can get shot at.
You see a crowd, there's a chance they're gonna just shoot you.
I don't blame them for just plowing through people now.
It's like, what do you expect?
They're seeing people getting killed.
tim pool
There's a handful of scenarios.
One, a group of actual peaceful protesters are hippie dancing in the street and a car just goes boom right through them.
adam crigler
Exactly.
tim pool
And then when they get arrested, they cite Provo and they say, we get it.
Yep.
In fear for their life because these people have done this.
You get a group of these protesters marching through a neighborhood like we saw in St.
Louis, only this time, the lady who does not use a gun, who's got her finger on the trigger and is waving it at people, panics and pop pop pop!
lydia smith
I'm surprised that didn't happen the other night.
tim pool
Yeah, exactly.
lydia smith
I was really worried.
tim pool
And that's when it goes... it goes crazy.
adam crigler
But that's the tension that everyone's feeling.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
adam crigler
Because everybody feels it.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
Everyone's like, I don't want to piss anyone off.
I'm just trying to live my life.
tim pool
Can we, you know, like when you're winding up, like, what are those springs called that it's like... Jack in the box?
No, it's like a... Like a clock?
You wind the clock and the spring is actually just a strip of metal that gets spun tighter and then it spins.
lydia smith
Oh, yeah.
adam crigler
A torsion spring?
tim pool
Is that what it's called?
It can't get any tighter because it's compressed completely.
That's what it feels like.
That's what I'm feeling.
Like, what more could possibly happen to give anyone more anxiety?
adam crigler
I got this.
I got this.
Aliens.
tim pool
Yeah?
unidentified
No.
adam crigler
I don't think so.
lydia smith
That would do it.
tim pool
I think people might go, finally!
adam crigler
Oh, thank goodness.
We can unify against that, right?
Well, maybe.
I don't know if they're good or bad.
tim pool
But I think people snap.
adam crigler
That's what we're seeing people snapping.
tim pool
Yeah.
People are scared.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
And I think we're at a point where the dominoes have all been set up.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
And then all it takes is one little flick.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
The dominoes go down and one by one a chain of events will happen that will start occurring that can't be stopped.
lydia smith
Yep.
tim pool
And I think maybe we're already there.
That's what we're feeling.
adam crigler
Well, you said it earlier, yeah.
The cascade is happening.
tim pool
You know that meme where there's like a little tiny thing, and he taps it, and it knocks over a bigger tablet, and then a bigger tablet, and it scales up to a massive... You know what I'm talking about?
adam crigler
I haven't seen a meme, but I've seen the art thing.
That they do, and it's like a frickin' 30-foot-tall domino started from a little tiny one.
tim pool
Yeah, you have like a really tiny one and then it grows.
There's a meme about it where it's like one tiny action results in one really, really crazy thing.
lydia smith
Like what was the most recent one?
This dollar bill looks funny at that store in Minneapolis, and then the end result is like the entire... Oh, right, right, right.
unidentified
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
That's exactly it.
lydia smith
Well, the other one is that the bat soup tries the bat soup, and the entire world is, you know, falling over.
tim pool
Take a taste.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
Yeah, the dollar bill thing.
One counterfeit bill, one guy saw it.
It's like a butterfly effect, man.
This dude's like, this 20 don't look right.
And he calls the cops, and now here we are.
Everything's in chaos.
But, you know, it seems to me like the dominoes have been stacked up for a long time.
adam crigler
Well, it's election year, so they really have to kick it up a notch.
tim pool
This is different.
lydia smith
That's true, too.
tim pool
This is wild.
What did Cernovich tweet?
He says, the first time in my life that the 4th of July has been cancelled.
adam crigler
Yeah, it is pretty insane.
tim pool
That scares me the most.
Because who's going to say, oh, OK, we won't celebrate the 4th of July?
lydia smith
Yeah, that's fine.
tim pool
I'll do nothing.
Like, it's literally a day where we tell the government to F off.
unidentified
That's the whole point.
tim pool
It's like, the holiday is literally based upon the day when Americans were like, F you, to the monarch.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
And so now the government's saying, nobody celebrate that day when you're telling the government to go shove off.
adam crigler
Unless you're Antifa going to the Gettysburg Historical Cemetery.
Yeah, to burn a flag, for example.
tim pool
Oh, I got it.
I got it.
adam crigler
Here we go.
Oh, yeah.
What, you got it here?
tim pool
Here's Andrew Cuomo.
New Yorkers must comply with social distancing and wear masks.
Don't risk your life.
Don't risk someone else's life.
Wear a mask.
adam crigler
And over 40% of the deaths in New York City were from people he shoved into nursing homes.
Thanks a lot, Cuomo.
tim pool
Here's what I said.
NYC occupation exempted, of course.
Yeah, of course.
adam crigler
Or protesting.
tim pool
Do we actually have that?
Yeah, cops clash with NYC Occupy City Hall protesters after city council vote.
And look at this.
This is amazing.
Three people were taken into custody, one accused, yadda yadda.
After a heated standoff, cops backed down, allowing the occupation to continue.
adam crigler
There you go.
tim pool
And then, I love it, Ocasio-Cortez.
What did she say?
One billion is not enough.
Yeah, one billion is not enough.
and toasting their accomplishments with blue solo cups of champagne brought to the encampment
after the NYPD budget was slashed. And then, I love it, Ocasio-Cortez.
What did she say?
adam crigler
One billion is not enough. Yeah, one billion is not enough.
lydia smith
When we say defund the police, we mean defund the police. What does that mean though?
No money.
adam crigler
So abolish, you mean.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Shut him down.
adam crigler
You don't mean to defund.
You mean abolish.
Yeah.
Stupid.
tim pool
I think these people are... My personal opinion is the first thing they need to do is get rid of the police, because then the fight on the street becomes ideological, forcing people to choose sides.
The biggest obstacle for the far left in their accelerationist plans Is the police who are neutral, their government, their establishment, but they're not ideological.
Now they can try and argue the police are, and many of them are, But when it comes to pro-Trump, MAGA, Proud Boy, whatever, and Antifa, far-left, progressive, the police are not a part of either of these tribes.
They're standing in the way.
adam crigler
As a whole, no.
tim pool
Which means, what's supposed to happen is when the two tribes clash, the police break it up, push everyone apart, make arrests.
Not always.
So how do you get it so that you can have your full-on war?
The left needs to get rid of the police.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
And they're doing it.
Once the police are abolished, demoralized, or gone, then you're gonna see... Like, weren't you telling me this the other day, that a bunch of cops are joining militias and stuff?
Yep.
They're factionalizing, or whatever the word would be.
They're joining... So then, once the police are gone, now the American people are torn between which side is the legitimate side.
And it goes all the way to the top.
Is it Joe Biden or Donald Trump?
adam crigler
And yet we have these, uh, the protests calling and asking for police escorts to keep them safe.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
As they asked to while they protest defunding the police.
tim pool
They're clearly cheating.
They're clearly not playing by any legitimate rule.
They're just trying to manipulate.
I think most of them are just dumb.
I think most of them are just like, whatever.
adam crigler
Following whatever they think is cool.
tim pool
Yeah, so when someone opens a gate to private property, they walk in like, Yeah, we can be here.
They have no idea.
It's like I think about the conversations I have on Facebook with people, and it's really funny.
You can make a vague statement, and then someone makes a million and one assumptions about what they think you're talking about, and it's always some weird high-level political... It's like you could post something like... This is the joke about Twitter.
It's like, man, I love pancakes.
Why do you hate waffles?
There's an assumption people make.
They just want it to be the fight.
adam crigler
Yeah, I'm sick of it, man.
On Facebook, too.
It's just like, that's what it feels like.
You can't say anything without... I mean, even on Twitter.
It doesn't matter.
Social media in general.
You say anything, people just, they take it and fit it into their narrative, look at the bottom line of how they can be upset about the narrative that they've placed on it, and then scream at you for that.
And it's like, well, you're the one who made it racist.
You're the one who's applying your rules of All whatever it's not necessarily racist. It's PC culture
in general. You know it's like you're the one who is twisting it into that
tim pool
I told you about bugs bunnying people right right so for those that missed the context
It's basically that that famous episode of you know Looney Tunes where?
Daffy is like it's rabbit season and bugs like it's duck season and they go back and forth and then finally
Bugs bunny switches and says it's rabbit season so then Daffy says duck season and then bugs says okay
Like basically making your opponent argue against their own position by switching.
I do this all the time on Facebook.
I've actually gotten people to argue against Black Lives Matter because they always want to be fighting, and to me that proves they don't actually care about anything other than who's my enemy and who's on my side.
adam crigler
Emotionally.
Uh, compromised.
tim pool
But people are always fighting, even the left fighting themselves.
It's the weirdest thing.
Like, I'll see someone, uh, I'm not gonna name these people, but there's some high-profile intersectionalists, you know, and they'll post something, and then the responses are like, honey, you are so wrong on this one, this is a bad take, not a good look, and then they'll apologize, and there's a back and forth, like, oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't realize, because they're, no one, they're not on anyone's side, it's just, they just hate.
adam crigler
Yeah.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
They just want to feel like they have power over you.
They're smart.
You're wrong.
And you can really easily manipulate that by saying things and then, and then just
making them argue against, you know, you can make them argue for Trump.
It's very strange.
And I kid you, I kid you not, these people clearly don't have a set of
principles they're arguing for.
adam crigler
Or spying.
tim pool
And I think, right.
Maybe that's the difference between the two tribes.
Why it is there are many liberals who switched and joined the Trump camp.
Democrat to Deplorable, Jack Murphy's book, I think it's like nine million people who voted for Obama switched and voted for Trump.
Even some Bernie supporters.
And I wonder if it's because these are people who only have principle.
And so they will begrudgingly accept the problems of Donald Trump, accepting core issues that they think are important.
Like the Democrats used to be in favor of immigration controls, border controls, helping the working class, the white working class, people with no college degrees.
adam crigler
Yep, not anymore.
tim pool
But now all of a sudden they're the party of the internationalist corporation that wants to outsource.
adam crigler
China.
tim pool
Like Bernie Sanders said in 2015 that open borders was a Koch brothers proposal.
adam crigler
And he was against it at the time.
tim pool
Right, now the DSA has openly endorsed open borders, and it's become a left-wing thing.
So if you're someone who stands on principle, you're saying, I've always agreed that open borders is bad, I agree with Bernie.
Well, now Bernie's abandoned you.
Bernie's now calling for decriminalizing border crossings and a moratorium on deportations.
So you're like, okay, well, if I stand on my principles, the only person who's close to what I believe in is Trump.
So you can talk about all the problems, but at least he checks some of the boxes.
No, you have these people on the left who it's like they've now adopted positions that were once held by right-wing libertarian industrialists.
My private platform, they say.
When all these social media companies are taking control of the commons, they used to fight for it.
They used to say, the commons are spaces that must be held by the public, which includes the town square.
Okay, well now the town square has been taken over by private corporations.
Well, the private corporations have a right to do what they want.
They can ban whoever they want.
Okay.
So if I'm going to stand on my principles, it's not with the Democrats.
I've always been in favor of regulation.
I love it when they're like, Republicans all of a sudden care about regulation, but they've always hated it.
I'm like, yeah, sure.
Maybe.
I don't like the Republican politicians at all.
lydia smith
Well, they like regulation now, so don't worry about that.
tim pool
Well, I don't care.
I don't care about... I think they're ineffective.
I think they're doing nothing.
But I've always held the position that major corporations run amok and we need government to play referee a bit.
But now there's no position for where liberals used to be, unless you've abandoned your principles and just blindly follow this new religion of intersectionalism.
And there we are, I guess.
adam crigler
Yep, there we are.
tim pool
With a new occupation and tribes not making... Shifted to the other coast.
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
Amazing.
Wonderful.
adam crigler
Escaped from LA.
Escaped from Seattle.
lydia smith
Escaped from Seattle to New York, I guess.
tim pool
So what happens on the 4th of July?
Nothing?
lydia smith
Let's see.
tim pool
I saw there was one article going around saying, beware the 4th of July.
adam crigler
Just I saw I saw some scary articles that are people are saying like I've I've like went into this group to see what is about and this is what was being passed around.
And it was basically Antifa saying we're going to go kill white people and like straight up take people out on July 4th.
tim pool
That could be propaganda.
adam crigler
You're absolutely right.
You're absolutely right.
It could be propaganda.
Man, exactly.
I hope it's propaganda.
tim pool
Like trying to scare people into thinking Antifa is going to go do something crazy.
adam crigler
Are they just trying to scare people to not go out?
Like, don't go out July 4th because they might kill you?
Or is that just gonna bring more people out, because they're gonna be like, bring it on!
It's July 4th, we're gonna celebrate.
tim pool
You see what SPD reported as they were clearing the Chaz?
adam crigler
What?
tim pool
Vehicles with no license plates, driving around as they were clearing out the camp with weapons.
adam crigler
I saw that.
What the heck?
No license plate, they don't know who it was, but they knew they had weapons?
tim pool
Yep.
Seen armed, driving around in vehicles with no license plates.
It's scary, man.
adam crigler
Antiva.
tim pool
So, you know, I guess the question I have is there are a lot of people who keep saying things like, calm down, it's not that bad, you're overreacting and stuff.
And it's like, well, okay, fine, but, like, they literally just killed a bunch of people.
adam crigler
And well, you got to remember though, it's also, these are all in cities that guns are not easy to get or most people don't have guns.
Not legally.
Right.
Legally.
Seattle, New York.
It's like, it's not, you can't own a gun in New York.
You're not, you're not allowed to own a gun in New York.
You can, but you have to jump through a hundred loops and hoops to get there.
tim pool
I think it's actually similar to New Jersey.
Like there's no open carry or, or concealed, like you can't walk around with a weapon.
adam crigler
Oh, okay, okay.
It's weird.
But you can own one in your home.
tim pool
I don't know the full rules.
I know some things about New York are easier for purchasing, but they're very, very, very restrictive.
unidentified
Right.
adam crigler
Well, my point was, this is where we're seeing all this stuff happening.
Now they go out to a smaller place in Idaho, and it's like, They made a mistake.
Now today I'm seeing people were protesting in a smaller town and 2,000 people came and surrounded the Black Lives Matter movement yelling, all lives matter.
And they were drowned out.
The Black Lives Matter movement were just like, they were the ones who were surrounded.
tim pool
But in Boise.
where there's a big counter protest the government sided with the left
in philadelphia the government sided with the left in uh... in columbus ohio the government sides the left in
adam crigler
virginia sides of the left are these all democrat places
tim pool
i mean is richmond run by democratic No, Virginia itself is.
adam crigler
I'm not sure.
I mean, we saw that article today.
I just tweeted it earlier, and it's like, the Republicans just stopped a bill that included the Democrats trying to figure out ways to pay Chinese interest.
And their corporations.
It's like, why are we bailing out Chinese businesses with our stimulus packages?
Republicans are like, whoa, why is this in this bill?
We're going to we're going to squash this.
So it's like it's showing it's the mask is slipping.
We're starting to see more and more of reasons why they want us to be fighting each other.
tim pool
They made big investments, baby.
adam crigler
Yes, they did.
tim pool
What's Nancy Pelosi's net worth?
adam crigler
I have no idea.
tim pool
Oh, millions.
With her husband.
Her husband made most of the money.
I think her personal net worth would fall around like $16 million.
I was reading an article about it.
But with her husband who's super rich.
adam crigler
Serving the people.
She's become uber rich.
I think she's over $120 million.
tim pool
Yeah, but that's mostly her husband.
lydia smith
Is it?
tim pool
Yeah.
I think she's like an heiress or something, you know?
adam crigler
Oh, great.
tim pool
I could be wrong.
adam crigler
Well, she certainly acts like it.
tim pool
Yeah, she does.
I mean, all of our politicians are super rich.
I wonder what AOC's net worth is by now, you know?
Because I wonder if she's making money off what she's doing.
She's got a luxury apartment in D.C.
lydia smith
She's doing okay.
tim pool
Maybe.
Or maybe, you know, she wanted a raise, so maybe she's not really making that much money.
Oh, fighting a sneeze.
lydia smith
Sneeze.
adam crigler
Just do it.
I love a good sneeze.
tim pool
Nah, nah, nah.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
So I think a lot of these, I think, I think a lot of these, uh, uh, look, there's a lot of insider trading that goes on.
adam crigler
Definitely.
tim pool
Now, I don't know who's doing what or why, but I'm willing to bet a lot of them, they're playing insider trading, right?
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
So I'm willing to bet that over time, you've had a lot of people who are super rich, work in government, could see the writing on the wall.
Hey man, China's making moves.
Why fight it, man?
We can, we, you mean I can get a stake in one of these big old factories in China?
Do it.
And now they've got money tied up.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
I don't know exactly.
adam crigler
Here comes Trump going, you know what?
We're going to tariff this.
We're going to bring manufacturing back.
We're not going to let illegal immigrants take the jobs that should be American jobs.
So the money that people are paying is going to go into America and stay in America.
And we're going to make America great.
tim pool
And now all of a sudden they're like, but my international, you know, like, you know, remember the Panama Papers?
adam crigler
Is that when China was trying to make their own Panama now?
tim pool
No, the Panama Papers was a bunch of documents showing that really wealthy Americans were hiding money offshore, basically.
And then, like, I think somebody involved in it, like, turned up dead.
And then it just disappeared from the news cycle.
So, as I bring it up, I'm gonna make sure I keep an eye out the window and sleep with one eye open.
But yeah, all the rich people had money stocked up in crazy places.
And that was funny when a bunch of celebrities had to, like, justify It was my accountant.
I have no idea.
lydia smith
I don't understand.
adam crigler
Sure you don't.
tim pool
But think about what this means now.
If you had a bunch of money overseas in various ways, and Trump is trying to shore up national borders and bring back jobs here, that's a threat.
So it's no surprise that a lot of these ultra-wealthy individuals hate Trump.
It's no surprise to me that the never-Trumpers are like high-profile wealthy political consultants who are all shocked.
That's what they're doing.
unidentified
My bottom dollar's gonna be affected.
tim pool
And now look at it this way.
You've got the populist left who hate the Democrats and the populist right who love Trump.
And who are the most angry people?
Well, it's fair to say a lot of the far leftists are angry.
I think they actually hate the Democrats more than they hate Trump.
adam crigler
Maybe.
tim pool
They do.
They're not talking about Trump.
I mean, when you look at who they're complaining about, who they're fighting, they're fighting to take ground in the Democratic Party.
Their key focus isn't, I'm going to run against a Republican.
It's, I'm going to run against the Democratic Party.
The Justice Democrats, their principal opponents are other Democrats.
You know what I mean?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So like when AOC is doing her campaign, she's targeting another Democrat, not a Republican.
adam crigler
Well, it's also, as you said, though, they're not fighting against other Democrats in their zones.
Their districts are really, people walk in and hit the D button.
tim pool
Well that's like the establishment, right?
But the far left is actually fighting those people.
So we just had, what was the guy's name in Kentucky?
adam crigler
Booker?
lydia smith
Yeah, Booker was beaten by McGrath.
tim pool
Yeah, so it's progressives fighting the moderates.
The Democrats are in a civil war right now, right?
So, you know, I don't know.
The way I see it is, The wealthiest, like Pelosi types, the establishment crony politicians are throwing every single scandal they can at Trump.
adam crigler
Even Mitt Romney voted against Trump.
tim pool
So here's one of the ways I kind of feel about it.
You have a lot of these Republicans who acquitted Trump because they know, you know, if they go up against him, they lose reelection.
They lose more than just maybe potential investments.
The Democrats just absolutely hate Trump and go after him wholeheartedly.
But then you see people like Mitt Romney, too.
These are the old crony establishment types.
They hate Trump.
And I wonder what it is.
What's the difference between, you know, these people?
Perhaps it's the size of their pocketbook.
lydia smith
Yeah, I think so.
tim pool
I wonder if that matters at this point.
We got a cat on the table.
He's really polite, actually.
adam crigler
He went under the camera.
tim pool
Yeah, he went under the camera, kept his tail down.
That's a good kitty.
lydia smith
He's here for some water.
tim pool
So there's an article going around that says, you know, beware the 4th of July.
Talks about all of the crazy things that are going on, like gold is spiking, real estate in Montana is spiking.
Like, clearly, what did someone tweet?
Someone tweeted, like, the people who have the connections and are in the know seem to know something.
unidentified
And I'm like, uh... Should I go to Montana?
tim pool
What's going on?
lydia smith
No, it's time for us to relocate, though.
tim pool
Yeah, we're definitely going to relocate.
lydia smith
I'm glad we're doing that.
tim pool
But, um, is it now or is it November?
adam crigler
Let's do it now.
I mean, November is going to come and then everything's going to go back to normal.
tim pool
Is that what you think?
adam crigler
Yeah, because I mean, when was the last time there was civil unrest?
Four years ago.
What do you mean?
Before the last crazy riots was 1992.
tim pool
There's been nonstop civil unrest for the past four years.
adam crigler
since trump got elected with the battle of berkeley like three or four times you had the fights in portland i'm not saying that that life hasn't been crazy for a lot since like i don't know 2010 when the sjw started yeah going crazy re-emerging emerging coming out of the sewers in new york Yeah, that's great.
tim pool
That's what happened.
Oh, that's what that stands for.
Thank you.
Yeah, I remember seeing that at a blockbuster when I was a kid.
I didn't know what it was, but then Family Guy made a reference to it, so now I remember it.
adam crigler
Nice.
Good old Family Guy.
lydia smith
Thanks, Family Guy.
adam crigler
Well, no, but we've talked about this.
It's like, duh, because all these interests that they're trying to protect are being shattered.
So you think because the status quo is being changed.
tim pool
So do you think Trump's going to lose?
adam crigler
No, I don't.
tim pool
So then why would it go back to normal?
adam crigler
Because they know that he's in it for another four years, so they have to start focusing on the next four years after that point.
I don't know.
Impeaching him didn't work.
What are they going to try?
They're trying to drudge up more Russian stuff.
tim pool
They're claiming he's working for China now.
adam crigler
That's the most ridiculous... Have they ever heard him talk at all?
tim pool
That was my response.
lydia smith
I was like, have you met the man?
adam crigler
If you heard any of his speeches, you'd understand that he has an issue with China.
tim pool
China.
adam crigler
China.
Thank you.
It's a meme.
It's very clear.
They don't care what he says.
It doesn't matter what he says.
It's not about what he says.
It's about what he stands for.
What does he stand for?
America.
I think so.
He stands for making- like, making America great again is his slogan.
I mean, I don't like the again part because I think that- America is always great.
No!
No?
Look, I love America.
I love being American.
I'm proud to be an American.
I think we can make it better than ever and that's what it should be.
tim pool
It should just be- Make America better than ever?
adam crigler
Yeah.
That's what, I mean, it's, we've only gotten better.
We're like, we've had, we've created civil rights.
We created all these, like where we, where we started, where it was slavery was the norm to where we are now.
It's like, we've come a long way.
Let's keep, let's keep progressing forward and not tear it all down.
They're trying to tear it all down.
tim pool
How about you order some Mabhats?
Make America better.
adam crigler
Make America better.
tim pool
Yeah.
I think we have.
adam crigler
And that's why I think... Well, I like the mag.
Make America greater.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Greater?
adam crigler
Yeah, make America greater.
lydia smith
Better than ever.
tim pool
Well, now he has to keep America great.
adam crigler
America still needs some help.
tim pool
My issue, I think Trump is too... We can be better.
Trump responds too emotionally too easily.
He gets baited.
He really does.
There's a lot of things he doesn't get baited on.
There's a lot of clever things he does.
But when they insult him, it's like, what does he do?
He goes after them.
adam crigler
I know, it's true.
tim pool
You know, there's a video getting shared around it from Russell Brand.
I love it.
adam crigler
He's great.
tim pool
I only saw a small clip of it.
adam crigler
I haven't watched this one, but someone sent it to me to watch.
tim pool
It was saying, like, what did it say?
Like, are we underestimating Trump or something like that?
adam crigler
I'm not sure.
tim pool
But there's a really great part where he shows Trump talking and then Trump makes a joke and everyone busts out laughing.
And then Russell Brand says, these people are genuinely laughing.
He's like, it's not canned.
It's not like a speech.
It's like they're actually laughing with him.
They're loving it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
unidentified
He is.
He's funny.
tim pool
He's an entertainer, man.
adam crigler
He is.
tim pool
He knows what he's doing.
I'll tell you this, man.
I went to the White House when he did that thing, and it was a stand-up routine.
I am not kidding.
adam crigler
Yeah, you said he was, like, self-deprecating, just, like, making fun of himself, making fun of stuff, life.
tim pool
Right?
And so, I tell you what, man, it was a stand-up routine.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
He would say something, and then he would, you know, point out, oh, the Democrats, they said this, and then he would make a joke.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And it was just, he was just winging it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And everybody was laughing the whole time.
lydia smith
He was having fun.
tim pool
Yep, he was having fun, and people feel that, and it's a combination of targeting their enemies, you know, making them feel good about their perceived enemies taking a hit, and him doing it, he can do it so well.
adam crigler
And then you got Biden over there, he's like, hmm, hold on, I got this approved list of who I'm allowed to ask.
Is there a this person in the crowd from AP?
tim pool
Wait, he did that?
adam crigler
Straight up.
He said, I have a list of who I'm supposed to talk to.
Is there a so-and-so from AP?
And I was like, did I just hear that?
This is the art of war.
tim pool
Joe Biden is the greatest political genius of this or any generation.
adam crigler
I'm gonna need some serious proof.
tim pool
He is beyond Trump's 4-D chess.
My word, he is playing 5-D chess.
lydia smith
Is he?
tim pool
You see, Biden has studied the art of war.
He knows.
He knows.
You want your enemy to underestimate you.
Remember?
We were saying this earlier about Trump's rally.
I said some people are saying Trump's trying to get them to underestimate him.
What do you think Biden is doing?
unidentified
It's the ultimate underestimation.
tim pool
But hold on, man.
I gotta say, there was an ad.
People were telling us that there was a commercial on our show that Biden, it was a Biden ad and in it he actually gaffes.
How is it that Joe Biden ran an ad where he makes a mistake when they could have just edited the mistake out or fixed it?
adam crigler
Somebody said, to be honest, it was probably an editor going through like seven hours of footage and then going like, This is the best footage that we've got out of seven hours of trying and then he just fell asleep in the corner.
This is what I got to work with.
tim pool
Then they put him in a wheelchair, put the little blanket on his lap and wheeled him into the sunlight and he fell asleep.
adam crigler
That's good.
tim pool
But it does make me wonder how you get a gaffe in an advertisement.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And it could be that they did like 10 takes and they were like, we'll just use these.
They like splice them all together.
But they couldn't get that word.
He couldn't say it.
Or Joe Biden is the greatest political genius of this or any generation.
adam crigler
Yeah.
And then when they finally debate, he's going to be like, well, I'm Joe Biden and I can speak articulately and clear.
tim pool
He's going to be on so many uppers during these debates.
adam crigler
We're going to see him like tap dancing.
tim pool
He's going to be like shaking.
adam crigler
I'm Biden.
tim pool
He's going to be shaking.
They're going to give him, they're going to give him the, um, what's that stuff called that you drink?
It makes you immortal.
adam crigler
Oh.
Adrenochrome?
tim pool
Ambrosia.
Is that ambrosia?
The guys who drink nectar and ambrosia?
adam crigler
I have no idea.
tim pool
They're gonna give him the secret formula, man.
The lizard people?
adam crigler
Uh-huh.
tim pool
Yeah, they're gonna come be like, drink this, Biden!
adam crigler
He's gonna be talking and his skin's gonna be glowing a little bit.
Both his eyes are gonna pop.
The aliens.
It gets really nice and smooth.
He shrinks a little bit.
tim pool
Let's be real, though.
Jokes aside, Joe Biden is far from the greatest anything of any generation.
Far from it.
adam crigler
He's pretty good to make fun of, though.
tim pool
He's a fumbly bumbly, but that could be a trick.
lydia smith
He makes kids uncomfortable.
adam crigler
That could be a trick.
You're right.
It could be a trick.
tim pool
One of the things I read about the cleverness that is Biden is that Trump was able to go after Hillary on corruption.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And she looked very, I guess you could say, sharp in the sense, jagged, you know, serrated, pointy, like...
adam crigler
And so people would see Hillary and she would be like... For the record, she still looks like that.
tim pool
I'm not saying what she looks like, I'm saying her demeanor, her behavior.
adam crigler
Well, for the record, it's still the same.
tim pool
The snooty eye-rolling and the cackling.
Joe Biden is fumbly bumbly Joe Biden.
adam crigler
Yeah, how do you make fun of that?
tim pool
He's trying to make him look corrupt, but Joe Biden looks too stupid to be corrupt.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Well, what do you mean corrupt?
unidentified
I worked in, you know, the thing.
tim pool
And then it's like, this old man?
You're threatened by this old man?
So it defangs Trump.
lydia smith
It does.
tim pool
Because who are you making fun of?
The sad old guy sitting in his wheelchair in the sunlight who's going... Yes.
lydia smith
Yes, that guy.
adam crigler
Yes, that's who you're running as your presidential nominee.
Absolutely, I'm making fun of him and you, DNC, for running him.
Yes, absolutely.
tim pool
It's like, you ever see The Prestige?
adam crigler
Yeah, great movie.
tim pool
Michael Caine tells the story of this magic trick where the old man was on stage struggling to move and he had a fishbowl and he could make the fish disappear or whatever and he asks the magicians to figure out How he did it.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And then I think it was Christian Bale or whatever who holds the fishbowl between his legs and explains that he thinks the real trick was the old man was weak when he really wasn't.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And the reason he was hobbling was because he was carrying a fishbowl in between his legs.
Joe Biden is milling about, bumbling and fumbling, and that debate stage is going to walk out
with a cane and he's going to trip and fall and then roll on the ground like Willy Wonka
and pop up and go, ah!
adam crigler
And make a fishbowl appear.
Boom!
tim pool
No, like, you know, in Willy Wonka.
adam crigler
Trust me, I know Gene Wilder is amazing.
I really would love to meet you if you're watching.
I don't know.
Gene Wilder?
tim pool
He doesn't watch our show.
adam crigler
Gene Wilder?
He's alive, isn't he?
lydia smith
No.
adam crigler
No?
tim pool
I'm pretty sure.
lydia smith
I think you just look it up.
adam crigler
I'm pretty sure he's got a well.
tim pool
Yeah, no, dude, the red dude red dude.
No, so I'm not saying I genuinely believe Joe Biden is secretly
holding back is, you know, his true power years ago.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
Well, hey, I want you out there.
This is a message for you.
tim pool
I want you to imagine something.
adam crigler
I miss you.
tim pool
I miss you, man.
I don't know how many people who watch are familiar with Dragon Ball Z references.
adam crigler
Not me, anyway.
tim pool
But I want you just to imagine Joe Biden standing next to Trump and then going, I'm still sad about Gene Wilder.
and then his hair spikes and turns gold and his eyes turn, you know, they light up.
adam crigler
Bloodshot.
tim pool
His eyes are glowing.
And then, and yeah, and then when I popped and he goes, ah!
adam crigler
I'm still sad about Gene Wilder.
unidentified
Oh, I'm sorry.
tim pool
That's a bummer.
adam crigler
He was probably my first favorite actor in my life.
lydia smith
He's so talented.
adam crigler
Yeah.
First one that I was like, I like this guy.
This guy is great.
lydia smith
Oh, man.
adam crigler
It might have been Dick Van Dyke, actually.
lydia smith
Oh, my gosh.
adam crigler
Now that I'm thinking back, Mary Poppins.
He was awesome in that movie.
tim pool
Have you ever seen the episode of Family Guy where the FCC censors everything?
adam crigler
No, goodness.
Is that what life's going to be like eventually?
tim pool
Yes.
So the episode is Peter creates his own public access show.
It's very, very offensive.
So the FCC comes in to censor everything.
And then they're watching TV and they're like, and now back to the beep van beep show.
adam crigler
Oh, right.
tim pool
Because you can't say Dick Van Dyke.
adam crigler
Right.
That's his name.
tim pool
We might get in trouble on YouTube just for saying that.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
No kidding.
adam crigler
That's his name.
lydia smith
It's literally his name.
unidentified
It doesn't matter.
adam crigler
He's still alive, right?
tim pool
Parody has become reality.
It has become complete reality.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
There was a, I think, I think it may have been Keemstar.
I'm not sure.
Big YouTuber.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Said the word E.
I'm gonna pause here, and girl.
Okay, I have to do a pause there.
adam crigler
Wait, really?
You can't do them together?
tim pool
Because the YouTube algorithm for tracking speech thought it was a racial slur.
adam crigler
Oh, really?
tim pool
Yeah, because think about what that... Oh!
adam crigler
I put it together in my head.
That's why I said the letter E. I said it in my head, and I was like, I see.
tim pool
Then I'm gonna pause, and girl, as in female.
adam crigler
Yes.
tim pool
And that was enough, and they got flagged for it, because it came up in the captions.
unidentified
Hmm.
What the heck?
tim pool
Welcome to the world where robots don't quite understand.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Robots don't know what's offensive.
adam crigler
They don't know the nuance of being human.
lydia smith
That's right.
adam crigler
Robots.
lydia smith
Yeah, screw you guys.
tim pool
What if?
What if?
adam crigler
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Don't piss them off, Lydia.
lydia smith
I mean, yes, they're wonderful.
Thank you, robots.
tim pool
Wait, wait.
What if what we're going through right now is like Skynet?
adam crigler
Skynet.
tim pool
Yes, the AI has already taken over.
The internet has become self-aware.
And so it's feeding people all of these things to get them really angry.
So they fight.
And then it takes over.
adam crigler
I don't know.
I don't know.
lydia smith
I can see it.
tim pool
The AI.
adam crigler
Maybe.
tim pool
No, you're right.
You know what the scariest thing about AI actually is?
adam crigler
There's something even scarier?
tim pool
It is.
Yeah, that we created algorithms to serve us and we've created a vortex that's flushing ourselves down the toilet.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
So here's the way I explained it before.
It's like YouTube created an algorithm because they wanted to surface Game of Thrones. They said content that is longer than 10
minutes, that gets high retention, high engagement, that's the content we want to see. They
looked at Game of Thrones and said, look at this, people watch on average the whole episode,
they all give it positive remarks.
adam crigler
So they all smash the like button.
unidentified
Yeah, they do. Yeah. So when it's happening.
tim pool
The content that gets promoted by the algorithm has nothing to do with good content.
It's just whatever fits into these specific little notches.
And then you ended up with these weird videos of the Hulk dancing with Hitler singing children's songs.
I'm not exaggerating.
adam crigler
Right, we did an episode on it.
tim pool
That's what surfaced in the algorithm.
adam crigler
Craziness.
tim pool
So think about how insane that is, and now I turn on Amazon, and it's like, you should watch this movie, Escape from L.A., which is a post-apocalyptic dystopian movie, and then I see Dan Bongino tweeting about Snake Plissken, and that's the character from the movie, and I'm like, did Amazon tell him to watch this too?
adam crigler
Definitely it did.
lydia smith
I gotta get in touch with him now.
adam crigler
Probably.
tim pool
Dude, I turned on Netflix, and it was like, you should watch Contagion, and I'm like, There's a pandemic.
know why you recommended me that.
Yeah.
Because it's a pandemic.
Somebody started watching it because of the pandemic and then Netflix assumed people really
liked the movie and started showing it to everybody.
Then everybody watched it.
Now everyone's got pandemic on the mind.
And that's how we ended up manipulating ourselves.
But the scary thing is the algorithms were first created to be like a TV guide almost.
But now we are being guided.
There's no one in control of the algorithm anymore.
It's just spinning us in circles and everybody's going nuts.
You watch, you watch videos on these on, on, on, uh, you watch movies about these pandemics.
And like we were talking about yesterday, people start viewing these fictional realities as like real potential realities.
adam crigler
Yeah, and that's that's the real cycle is when they make that the new reality, then make a new story, because the new reality is now it's boring.
And now it doesn't excite you anymore, because that's what their norm is.
So they got to up it up the level.
Keep upping the level.
tim pool
Upping the dosage.
adam crigler
Upping the dosage.
Yes, exactly.
The dosage, man.
People are addicted to it.
tim pool
Until you know what?
adam crigler
You're just left with hate.
That's what we're seeing.
They're living on hate.
tim pool
In all seriousness, I think what we're really dealing with is that we as humans have built these systems all around us and now they're starting to, you know, fall in on each other like dominoes.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And maybe after whatever happens happens, there's like a cleansing, you know, of like the chaos is washed away and something new emerges.
I have no idea.
But right now it feels like It's a bell curve.
It's a gradual incline of unified worldview.
You know what I think?
It's a bell curve.
There was a gradual- Always the bell curve.
Well it is, right?
No, you're right.
Look, it's a gradual incline of unified worldview.
Very early on in human existence, you had weak communication, right?
Yeah.
So someone in some town 10 miles away had no idea what was going on 10 miles away from them
until someone went and communicated and transferred that information.
So, the worldviews were actually separate.
If you were to travel a thousand miles to a different country, it was dramatically different.
Different food, different culture, different, you know.
Then communication started becoming unified, and we started going up towards the top of that peak where it's like unified communication and worldview.
adam crigler
And control.
tim pool
And control.
And now we're on the back end.
As the internet starts becoming more and more prevalent, people isolate themselves in the communities they choose.
Whereas people used to watch the news and the news would try to report what was happening because they wanted to reach a broad audience, now people choose what stories they read.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
So instead of learning about what's really happening, they specifically focus on what they want to know.
What is Antifa doing?
adam crigler
Or just whatever fits their narrative that makes them happy or keeps them angry or whatever it is.
tim pool
Think about it this way.
I think we are part of the problem.
I think I am especially part of the problem because we talk about things we find interesting.
adam crigler
It's a good point.
tim pool
And because of that, and because we find culture war interesting, we're more likely to be successful
on YouTube.
Okay.
Which means we're more likely to be recommended to more and more people.
Okay.
Now Facebook is worse because Facebook has the direct share mechanism.
So it's a hundred to a thousand times fold more accelerated.
Yeah.
But as long as we and every other news outlet, and I think it's fair to say the news outlets
take the brunt of the responsibility on this one because they're well funded and they employ
teams of hundreds of people.
But so long as the algorithms prop up what we find interesting, then the only thing we'll ever watch is going to be culture war stuff that shocks and scares people.
And then we're, so now we're going to the back end of that curve where the unified view is starting to fracture again, where we used to all agree on what was happening.
Now it's breaking apart and moving back to a world where everyone really believes different things and different communities start emerging.
It's not necessarily a bad thing in that capacity, but it does mean people are going to fight.
adam crigler
Yep.
And how do you have a, I think we're going to see something happen this Saturday.
Yeah, there's tension in there.
It's been around for a while, and it's been building and building.
tim pool
Gettysburg.
adam crigler
And they're going to Gettysburg, and it's like, it's a famous spot.
They're announcing it.
They're spreading the word.
tim pool
Yeah, it's already been spread around.
adam crigler
You know, it's not just like they're making a secret meeting, and they're gonna do it.
They're announcing.
They're shoving it down everyone's throat.
We're gonna go burn your flag on your Independence Day.
So, you know, F off.
Yeah, F you.
We're gonna do it.
tim pool
But now consider this.
Here we are, with about 34,000 people watching, and probably hundreds of thousands watch the segment and the remaining clip where we mention Gettysburg, and then how many people are like, I'm gonna go now?
You know what I mean?
Just simply because we talked about it, because we were interested in it, and other people are interested in what we say, now the message of Gettysburg is spreading, and what if we just created a self-fulfilling prophecy?
What if no one was ever going to actually go to Gettysburg, and they spread these memes around, but no one cared, and all of a sudden now we talk about it, and now all of a sudden, there it goes.
unidentified
Oh no!
lydia smith
We have responsibility?
tim pool
But that's an impossibility.
Because I've definitely thought about this, right?
What responsibility do you have to avoid important stories and not tell people what's happening?
I'm like, you can't do that.
You can't withhold information from people.
I don't believe you have the right to do that.
If Antifa says they're going to Gettysburg to burn American flags, I think it's really important Americans know about that.
But what if that contributes to the severity of what happens?
lydia smith
Maybe you can't think about that.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
And a lot of people, even today, they're saying, like, because I've been posting stuff on Twitter about Chaz is over.
They cleaned out Chaz.
And there's a lot of comments are like, how come I didn't?
How come I'm only seeing this?
You'd think this would be like huge news.
Yeah.
Nobody's reporting it.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
It's like interesting.
tim pool
Little bits.
But you know, I think it is.
Journalists report it.
But it's whether or not the culture, the cultural institutions make it a mainstream issue.
So, you will find a news article that says, Chaz cleared out.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
But will you find Chris Cuomo ranting about it for an hour?
Or Don Lemon?
adam crigler
No, definitely not.
tim pool
Or Rachel Maddow?
Think about what happened in Chaz with this 16-year-old getting killed.
adam crigler
They don't want to talk about that.
tim pool
Are you going to see that on primetime for any of these big cable shows?
unidentified
No.
tim pool
Tucker Carlson maybe.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
And maybe that's why his ratings are so high.
Yep.
Because he's actually talking about things that people find relevant.
lydia smith
He does, yeah.
tim pool
And the other side is just, you know what man, there are some political commentators that I feel like are sitting in the corner of the room not paying attention.
And it's like, we are all over on this other side of the room and everyone's arguing about the riots, the chaos, the law, the statues.
And then you have some of these commentators who, these are people I think are grifting.
They know that if they stand for what's morally just, which is liberty, freedom, civil rights, they would lose their audience.
adam crigler
It's true.
tim pool
Because the left is happy about what they're doing and doesn't want to hear bad things about it.
The statues must come down.
No, no, no, no.
In Chaz, that kid was a murderer, they say.
And I've seen the posts from the Antifa people.
They're saying things like this kid in the vehicle was actually shooting at people.
It's justified.
It's like you have no proof any that happened.
unidentified
Why are you saying that?
tim pool
All we know is somebody killed this kid.
adam crigler
So you have these- That's their argument for everything that they do.
They're like, well, this, this, well, not that it's justified.
It's that they are just saying blank statements with no proof, no backing.
Well, this is the case.
Meh.
What do you got to say about that?
And it's like, well, I have all this proof here.
And they're like, oh, well, I don't want to see that.
This is the case.
This is what it is.
tim pool
But it's not even to that degree.
In the case of Chaz, it's, we don't know what happened.
All I know is a 16-year-old kid was killed by the Chaz security.
lydia smith
Why?
tim pool
And then they say, I know what really happened.
And I say, no, you don't.
Neither do I.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
But the point I'm bringing up is you've got these political commentators that know they can't take a principled stance.
So I'm seeing posts from people where they're like, Donald Trump said what?
And I'm like, no one's talking about that.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Like the journalists are talking about the statues coming down in Columbus and in Virginia.
They're talking about the riots, the protests, COVID.
And then there are some just political commentators that are like, well, I guess I'll just talk about Trump saying naughty words again.
lydia smith
Have you heard the expression, the adults are talking now?
unidentified
Yes.
lydia smith
Because I really like that expression.
It's a little condescending, but it's like, yeah, we're not talking about that right now.
adam crigler
A little condescending?
lydia smith
Yeah, we're not talking about Donald Trump.
We're talking about things that are actually affecting us in our, like, daily lives.
tim pool
And not only that's like, what is Trump doing?
lydia smith
Nothing that, I mean nothing that bad.
tim pool
It's like Bill Barr issued a statement on the clearing out of Chaz.
The big cultural stories that I, so I follow a wide group of people.
I follow news organizations.
I follow left and right.
And the most common discussion amongst most people is related to ongoing protests and COVID.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
There's some conversation bubbling up in the past couple weeks among hardcore politicos who are more concerned about the Hill, like Capitol Hill.
And so they're talking about the Russian bounty thing.
And then there are some people who are just like, Orange man bad.
Trump said dumb things.
And I'm like, I guess it's lowest common denominator anti-Trump stuff.
You don't got to raise a finger really.
You don't got to talk about difficult moral questions.
All you got to do is say, dude, did you guys hear that?
Like Donald Trump is dumb.
Like, can you believe it?
adam crigler
And I bet that would get plenty of shares.
tim pool
Breaking news, Donald Trump is dumb.
lydia smith
And orange.
adam crigler
I mean, you know, you go into Facebook and it's like, that's what I see.
And I'm just like, it's not relevant.
It's not warranted.
Like who cares?
Where's this information?
And it's not information.
It's just a meme.
tim pool
It's like, if you've ever gone to a trading card shop and listened to little kids talk about Pokemon cards, that's what it sounds like.
There's this naive, ignorant enthusiasm.
No offense, I mean, if you're into a Pokemon card game or whatever, it's fine.
The point I'm saying is how little kids approach it.
Like, dude, it's so cool!
My dad, he got me a Charizard, it's first edition.
It was like $100,000.
Nuh-uh, you're dead.
I swear my dad got it.
And then you take that mentality and you go to these people, we're talking about Trump, it's like, did you hear that, like, Donald Trump actually said, uh, he said something about, like, how he likes white people?
No way, did he?
I swear he's so dumb.
And you're like, what is this?
Might as well be grunting.
adam crigler
Smacking the ground with sticks.
unidentified
Trump bad.
tim pool
That's what they're doing.
Now, don't get me wrong.
I mean, they're certainly, you know, hardcore Trump supporters are not all that bright.
But I find when I was traveling around to the Trump rallies in the last election cycle,
I did not come across...
I would say 95% of the people I came across who were Trump supporters were like regular
people that you talk to and they'd go, so what do you do?
I'd be like, I'm a journalist.
adam crigler
Huh, what does that mean?
tim pool
And then you talk and I'd be like, oh really?
Oh, that sounds nice.
You get to go to Trump rallies?
I'm like, yeah, so why do you like Trump?
And they'll give you some very basic bland reason like, you know, immigration's really
important to me or whatever.
And there'd be a guy be like, well, you know, my factory shut down and Trump was talking
about that.
But you go to the left wing rallies.
adam crigler
Why do you not like him?
tim pool
He's racist.
adam crigler
Well, I was told not to.
tim pool
He's racist.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
That's probably their number one thing.
tim pool
That's like number one.
unidentified
I can't explain why.
tim pool
He's so racist.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
And then when you ask them why.
adam crigler
What racist things have you done?
I have to go.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
You'll hear things that are like, in my experience, because I did go to a handful of, I went to a bunch of left-wing rallies as well, a couple Bernie events, and they'll give you reasons why they like Bernie.
And that's the difference between the crony establishment Democrat people who are just like, orange man bad and can't tell you what's going on, versus the progressives who actually know what they want and will tacitly support the Democratic Party for the time being, or actually, for the most part, won't.
I find that actually when you talk to a lot of the people who backed Bernie, they don't care about Bernie.
adam crigler
Nope.
tim pool
They care about pushing the parties as far left as possible because they're socialists.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
Like if you look at the Project Veritas releases, some of these people seem to be very naive when it comes to- Some of them?
Yeah, some of them are really smart.
Some of them are manipulative and they're well-read and they understand what they're doing because they want power.
adam crigler
Good point.
tim pool
And they're willing to do what they have to do to get it.
And they'll manipulate stupid people to get it.
adam crigler
I think there's a smaller minority of that group that are smart than the ones that have no idea what they're doing.
tim pool
So here's the way I see it.
There's a large portion of what I would call the coalition voters, meaning politically independent, moderates, disaffected liberals, and conservatives, and many diehard conservatives who will support Trump.
On the left, you have establishment Democrats who are completely naive and ignorant as to how politics work.
And these are the people you'll see on Facebook who say things that make no sense.
And you'll try and talk to them, and they'll be like, those make things up.
They literally just make things up.
Then you have progressives who really want idealistic policies, and they're probably not well-read enough to understand why some of these things don't make sense.
But they have a decent understanding of at least their tribal, you know, politics.
Like, what they want and why they want it.
But they don't understand how the machine doesn't make sense.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
So that's what I see.
So I see a tendency among the left to have a fractured worldview.
They support censorship and then complain when they get censored.
You know what I mean?
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
They say, just pay for it.
Just pay for school.
And they don't understand how economics actually works.
adam crigler
It's like the mayor in Seattle.
unidentified
Yeah, go.
adam crigler
Go have your summer of love.
lydia smith
Yeah, it'll be nice.
adam crigler
But the second you come to my block, you're done!
And that's exactly what happened.
tim pool
I think there's a lot of conservatives who are very, very tribalist.
Like, a lot of Trump supporters are just like, whatever Trump says, even if he changes positions.
And then there are actually a lot of, interestingly, right now I'm seeing a lot of Trump supporters who are actually angry.
They're angry with the Republicans, they're angry with Trump.
Tucker Carlson's a great example.
He just did a segment where he said that the Republicans keep offering up symbolic victories that are meaningless.
What did he say?
He was like, why should I care what was in the content of Peter Strzok's email?
Or text messages?
lydia smith
I don't care.
That's not a focus right now.
tim pool
Yeah, how does that help the working class?
lydia smith
Right, and this is what we're talking about too.
tim pool
Yep.
So you have people who are very tribal and willing to accept symbolic victory.
Then you have the far left that wants tangible but pie-in-the-sky things.
And then you have people in the middle who, for the most part, have a general understanding of the nuance, the balance, and are desperately trying to calm everybody down, within reason, or complaining about how crazy mostly the left is.
adam crigler
Yeah.
Well, I mean, we said it the other day when we were talking about the people who are in charge.
It's like those are the people that want power.
Republican, Democrat.
It doesn't matter.
So the people who are in the House.
Yeah.
lydia smith
I hope it was fireworks.
adam crigler
No, that was a firework.
lydia smith
It did sound echoey.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Yeah.
That was a firework.
tim pool
It's July 1st.
adam crigler
It's July 1st.
lydia smith
This all makes sense.
adam crigler
People are proud to be American.
lydia smith
That's right.
adam crigler
They are gonna light fireworks.
tim pool
I gotta stop you.
The 4th of July would be the perfect day for something crazy.
You know why?
adam crigler
People would think it's fireworks.
tim pool
People have no idea what's happening.
There could be gunshots going off and no one would call the cops.
What were you saying about they were saying they were gonna go on the 4th of July and shoot people or whatever?
adam crigler
That's what's going around.
They're spreading that word.
They're gonna go around and shoot people.
tim pool
No one will call the police.
adam crigler
Everybody's armed now.
They're gonna get killed.
tim pool
No one's expecting it if black clad dudes lurk through your neighborhood at night, and you're in your backyard with your friends and family, and they take out a rifle, and as a bang, no one will call the police.
I heard a bang.
The cop's gonna be like, you say you heard a bang?
I don't think it was fireworks.
It was probably fireworks.
adam crigler
Well, my Uncle Larry here, he's bleeding to death now.
lydia smith
I mean, yeah.
adam crigler
I don't think that was fireworks.
tim pool
No, I'm talking about the neighbors.
adam crigler
No, I know.
tim pool
So you'll be panicking, being like, what happened?
It's kind of dark out, and someone falls down, and you freak out, and you call, you say, help, help, something's happening, he's bleeding.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But no neighbors will come to your aid.
So what if you're by yourself?
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Sitting in your old Barca lounger that you got from a thrift store, and you're watching reruns of 1994, you know, Bulls, the glory days.
And somebody, you know, shoots you.
No one will call anybody.
Oh, man.
No one will be- Oh, another firework went off.
lydia smith
This is depressing.
tim pool
I'm not saying I actually think anything's gonna happen, but when- I'm gonna say what I've always said.
adam crigler
There's a lot more people that are ready for these Antifa folks than they think.
tim pool
Than they think.
adam crigler
Than the Antifa think.
That's what I'm saying.
The Antifa think that they've got all the, everybody wound around their fingers
so that they can do whatever they want, but they're gonna have a really eye-opening experience
when they finally run into the people that are like, I'm just gonna kill you if you come in our neighborhood.
tim pool
So if you're sleeping in your bed at three in the morning, and then somebody jimmies your lock or picks your lock.
adam crigler
You can give me an example.
I don't wanna hear your example of how it could go.
Sure, Tim.
tim pool
How are you gonna give me an example of everyone having an escape plan,
a tactical strategy for when they have no idea what's on the other end?
adam crigler
I was just telling you what I think the majority is.
The majority of people are...
They're freaking out.
They were having dinner and they came out with guns.
They're ready for it.
People are buying guns, flying off the shelves, because of this.
Because antifa are killing people.
tim pool
But you're talking about this tactical move on the 4th of July when everyone's distracted to go around shooting people.
adam crigler
And everybody can feel the tension in the air.
Of course there's gonna be an example that someone can go at 3 a.m.
and kill somebody.
tim pool
The problem is you're acting like the people who are planning these murders wouldn't actually have a plan for it.
Would be like, I'm gonna randomly walk into someone's yard while they're barbecuing and start shooting.
No, they're gonna be like, everyone's on edge, I understand that, and I'll adapt my strategy accordingly.
adam crigler
Sure.
tim pool
So anyway, the point is, we just heard a big bang, and we were all like, ooh, what was that?
lydia smith
What was that?
tim pool
And then I realized, I was like, whoa, that thing, you know, you were saying there's rumors going around that these extremists are gonna try and pull this off.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Yeah, on the Fourth of July, no one's gonna know.
Because there's a viral story right now of this woman who was at a party and someone dared her to go across the street and steal this guy's Nazi flag.
And she did.
And then he pulled out a rifle and shot her four times.
And then she was found by the cops lying in the ditch.
Crazy story.
And one of the locals gave an interview and he said, these are locals in a town that they have guns.
And he says, we didn't know right away if it was a firework or if it was gunshots, so, you know.
We just went out to see what was going on, and sure enough, the police show up and there's a woman.
So the lesson to that story is don't go on other people's property and steal their stuff.
More importantly, this guy got arrested because you don't shoot someone who's walking with a flag.
You know, which he did, and the guy's crazy in the first place.
The other thing I was saying is, like, this story's nuts, too, because, like, don't steal a flag from someone who's clearly a nutcase.
Like, the dude's clearly a psychotic fascist.
And you're, like, gonna walk on his property in the middle of... It was a town of, like, a hundred people.
Yeah, well I'm glad they arrested the guy, that's for sure.
lydia smith
Seriously.
tim pool
It's a horrifying story.
But the reason I bring it up is that even the locals were like, we weren't sure if it was a firework or whatever.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
And that's interesting to me because I think people out in the country would have a better understanding.
More likely to know, hey that was a gunshot, right?
adam crigler
So I guess, uh... Well, some people have experience of what gunshots sound like.
I know you do.
I know I do.
So it's like, I know what a gunshot sounds like.
You know, that wasn't a gunshot.
tim pool
Right, that was a loud bass.
If that was anything, the closest it could be was like a 44mm.
Are they 40 or 44?
I always mix them up.
adam crigler
That was definitely some sort of like a mortar or something.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah.
And the kids around here, they're always, you know.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You know, there goes again.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
More fireworks going off.
There was a funny post.
Someone said, because L.A.
is canceling fireworks, they were like, as I and my dog have been demanding, you know, finally, L.A.
will be canceling fireworks.
Something like that.
Like, my dog has been demanding it.
adam crigler
So many dog owners hate fireworks.
tim pool
You gotta get them those harnesses that are tight.
lydia smith
Really snuggly.
tim pool
Yeah, their harnesses they wear, they're weighted, and they squeeze them.
And it makes them feel not scared, I guess.
lydia smith
Interesting.
tim pool
Yeah, for whatever reason.
adam crigler
I've never heard that.
lydia smith
Yeah, or CBD.
tim pool
But maybe the Fourth of July will just be a good old fun time, and maybe it'll be a good little day off, but there's gonna be that full-buck moon, I guess.
lydia smith
Yeah, that'll be exciting.
tim pool
Yeah, full lunar eclipse, the moon's gonna go out completely.
adam crigler
Wow, whoa.
tim pool
That means it's gonna be pitch black outside.
lydia smith
Yeah, that makes me real kind of nervous.
adam crigler
It'll actually be a good night for fireworks.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
lydia smith
It'd be a good night for anything.
tim pool
It'd be a good night to lurk in the shadows and get away with some horrifying things.
adam crigler
Well, it's America's Day, and I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be exercising their rights on the 4th of July.
tim pool
Isn't today Canada Day?
unidentified
It is!
tim pool
Hey, Canada!
lydia smith
Happy birthday, Canada!
adam crigler
Hey, congratulations, Canada!
I hope you can be proud to be Canadian.
lydia smith
They're not.
adam crigler
That's not true.
lydia smith
No, it's very embarrassing.
They're putting up warning signs on their statues.
adam crigler
I know a lot of people that are proud to be Canadian.
lydia smith
Their leaders aren't happy, which makes me sad.
adam crigler
I heard it directly from Canadians.
There are Canadians that are proud to be Canadian.
lydia smith
No trigger warnings on their statues then.
adam crigler
Oh no, I saw those trigger warnings.
I mean, the SJWs are infecting everywhere.
It's a disease.
It's spreading.
It's worse in Canada.
It's not surprising.
unidentified
Well, should we hop over to Super Chats?
adam crigler
Before we do, smash that like button.
You know what?
Maybe don't smash it.
unidentified
Maybe just a little love tap.
tim pool
Ladies and gentlemen, as we enter this holiday weekend, we here at TimCast IRL have only one request.
As there are currently 34,234 people watching, Welcome everyone.
But only 13,000 likes.
We're asking you to take time out of your day to smash that like button!
Because that actually helps YouTube promote the show if they think people are engaging and really do like the show.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
So with your one vote, you may make us the biggest show.
On this here YouTubes.
adam crigler
The YouTubes.
tim pool
Smash that like button.
YouTube?
adam crigler
YouTube?
unidentified
YouTube.
adam crigler
And I will think about spinning the UFO because it is not spinning right now.
And it's like, I'm itching right now.
tim pool
Smash the subscribe button.
I must spin it.
Smash the subscribe button.
lydia smith
Subscribe.
tim pool
And then the last thing you need to do is you need to sit down with your family members, look them in the eyes and ask them, why haven't they yet subscribed?
To the TimCast IRL podcast.
lydia smith
Share the good news.
tim pool
Share the good news.
adam crigler
A lot of people are hitting me up.
They're saying, I have to keep subscribing.
unidentified
It happens.
adam crigler
They have to keep subscribing over and over and over again.
So make sure that you are subscribed because a lot of times it seems YouTube's like, nah.
tim pool
And spread the word.
adam crigler
Get rid of some of that.
tim pool
Spread the good word.
adam crigler
Spread the good TimCast IRL word.
tim pool
And then everyone can sit down.
You can get the fire going and get the Christmas tree up.
lydia smith
It'll be very cozy.
tim pool
And everyone will sit around the radio box, the phone, playing the good audio that is Timcast IRL.
And then we will read Super Chats for you, finally.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
The number one Super Chat.
The first one.
Cole says, 2020 is the last time the U.S.
will have a two-party system guaranteed.
I'm hoping for a Republican super majority, but I'll take a close win, too.
adam crigler
One of the things... Win's a win.
tim pool
So there's an article going around among left-wing activists calling for them to either... Well, there's one article saying disband the Democrats.
Another article is saying, launch a new socialist party with all of Bernie's supporters.
And they're arguing that the socialist movement is supporting Bernie, who's campaigning for Joe Biden.
How does that make sense?
So what they're saying is everybody who supports Bernie Sanders, if you vote for a new party, a socialist party, then you will make tremendous ground and potentially take over in the next election cycle.
And if that happens, Trump wins the minority.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Shortbus Dave Cedeno says, Happy Canada Day.
It is my B-Day.
Vote Libertarian.
lydia smith
Oh, happy birthday.
adam crigler
Happy birthday.
tim pool
Graphon Tyrell says, So not only is being opposed to Mount Rushmore an official party position of the Democratic Party, but the New York Times just now said about as much.
Yep.
It's time to stop entertaining our media as if they're actually journalism and spin the UFO, please.
lydia smith
He keeps threatening to do it.
Someone asked.
tim pool
Spin the UFO.
adam crigler
I am appeased.
tim pool
The UFO is spinning.
adam crigler
I have been appeased.
tim pool
Zallular says, FYI, I finally learned how to DVR Tucker so I can watch you live and him straight after instead of staying up until midnight.
adam crigler
That is dope.
unidentified
Thank you.
tim pool
I was thinking about this.
Tucker's averaging 4.33 million viewers and I'm like, but we're around the same time as him.
That means you guys are choosing us.
lydia smith
We're stealing his viewers.
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
Love it.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
Let's see.
James says, do you think CNN and the like can afford to let Trump lose?
CNN needs Trump to win.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
Yeah.
So their ratings were in the gutter.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
Twitter was, was falling apart until Trump came along.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
All of a sudden now CNN's ratings are going up.
Even everybody's ratings are going up.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
And, uh, Twitter, for instance, rebounded.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
All of a sudden, they started getting users back and they were growing.
Trump made it.
That's why I'm like, why doesn't Trump, you know, go to any of these other platforms?
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
And just use them.
He could make them big and compete with Twitter and stop the censorship.
lydia smith
I think that'd be great, yeah.
tim pool
Let's see.
TheorFander says, smash that like button and three exclamation points, I believe.
Or is that four?
And spin the UFO.
lydia smith
Excellent.
tim pool
Matt Hatter says, you should watch Escape from New York again, just for the rant at the beginning by the woman who hijacked Air Force One.
It's eerily familiar.
Oh, I'll check it out for sure.
adam crigler
Yeah, we should check that one out.
tim pool
Penday says, have you heard of gangs like Crips and Bloods becoming the defenders against looters?
What a world, keep up the good work.
Not true.
There's a viral video where they claim a crip is stopping a looter.
And the video that's going around is actually from early last month.
And my understanding is that it was just a regular local guy wearing a blue shirt.
And because he's wearing a blue shirt, people are like, look, it's a crib.
And it's like, he's the guy who lives there.
adam crigler
Well, he does say, this is Long Beach.
Get out of here.
Yeah, but that's not enough evidence.
tim pool
Tom says, no homo, but Adam's saying punch the like button makes me want to go to my bunk.
What does that mean?
lydia smith
I don't want to know.
adam crigler
Thank you?
lydia smith
I guess.
adam crigler
I'll take it.
I'll take the win.
lydia smith
He did say no homo.
tim pool
Nathan says, hey Tim and crew, found out my family actually qualifies to join both the Mayflower Society and Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution.
Worried these groups could easily become targets.
Thoughts?
I don't know what those are.
Do you know what those are?
lydia smith
Those are historical societies from people who are descendants.
tim pool
That's so cool, though.
So you're saying you're an evil colonizer.
unidentified
That's so cool!
tim pool
Just make sure they don't get your private information.
Josh says, Hey Binians, talk about the Great Reset.
The World Economic Forum recently announced the need for a new social contract.
More global changes to come in 2021.
And love the songs, Tim.
Really enjoy.
What's the Great Reset?
Year Zero?
lydia smith
I don't know.
Ooh, year zero.
unidentified
Scary.
tim pool
It takes over.
Bitcoin and Tesla stock.
That's pretty much it, yep.
currency becomes worthless and Bitcoin takes over.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
I was talking to some like right wing conspiracy and Tesla stock.
lydia smith
Everything.
tim pool
Yeah.
Elon Musk becomes de facto emperor.
Yeah.
I was talking to some right wing conspiracy dudes when they were like very early on the
Bitcoin days and they were like Bitcoin is what you got to do man.
It's like, no fractional reserve, no central banking, man.
We're in total control.
And I was like, like, I know a bit about Bitcoin.
I was tracking it for a while.
I had friends who worked on it, and I was like, you don't really think this is the key currency to, like, subverting the global security state, the Five Eyes Spy Club.
And they were like, how are they gonna be able to track it when there's no central bank?
It's all decentralized.
And I was like, and every transaction you make is tracked.
They can load those things into a computer and just chart things and begin to map out the metadata.
And they were like, oh.
So then they made Monero and stuff, things that were actually, you know, you can't track the transactions and things like that.
But I think Bitcoin's, you know, potential.
It's got potential.
We'll see.
Samurai says, a couple of years after the Civil War, the Union voted to consider Confederate Americans war vets.
People today shouldn't be able to speak for them.
Interesting.
Bobcat says, have you heard about the Vanessa Gillen disappearance and other soldiers gone missing from Fort Hood?
What are your thoughts about this?
Did you hear about that?
adam crigler
I have heard about it.
I don't know anything about it.
I don't know much about it because they don't know, I believe.
Yeah, they don't know yet.
I'm so worried.
Have you heard that kids are going missing?
lydia smith
Yeah, we touched on it last night.
adam crigler
All the time, right?
tim pool
I saw someone post on Facebook and they were like, how come no one's talking about this?
And they linked to an article saying like, Child abductions is up like hundreds of percent or some ridiculous number.
adam crigler
Over the past how long?
tim pool
Like a couple months.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Like it's just been taking off.
Maybe it's because of the pandemic.
adam crigler
But how?
Everyone's at home with their kids.
Like what?
Where are they getting taken from?
tim pool
No idea.
Maybe they're just getting reported more because they're at home with their families or whatever.
adam crigler
I don't know.
tim pool
Weird stuff's going on, man.
You know what it is?
Maybe they're being raptured because the kids are getting raptured first, right?
lydia smith
I guess.
adam crigler
Maybe.
lydia smith
I don't know.
adam crigler
Well, you see something out there?
tim pool
Yeah, I saw something in the backyard.
adam crigler
Should we go check it out?
tim pool
No, no.
If they break in, you know, I guess we'll die.
lydia smith
Yeah, and you guys can watch.
adam crigler
Alright, and it'll be live!
Yay!
tim pool
That'll be awesome!
adam crigler
Smash the like button!
tim pool
We heard a couple bangs.
Now there's a light in the back.
Yes, I'll die!
lydia smith
Yep, I guess so.
tim pool
It's probably the bunnies.
The kids are being raptured because the children get raptured first.
adam crigler
I know there's a lot of people that think it's the beginning.
I don't actually know if they do that thing.
lydia smith
The rapture I don't think is in the Bible.
tim pool
Oh, okay.
lydia smith
I think it's extra biblical.
tim pool
Then I can just make it up.
unidentified
Extra biblical.
lydia smith
Yeah, that's right.
Just go with it.
tim pool
Then in my prophetic visions, the children being innocent get raptured first.
unidentified
Yep.
lydia smith
There you go.
tim pool
Yeah, there you go.
What if that actually happened?
Like, what would you do?
If a bunch of people just got raptured and you're just like sitting there and you're like, man.
lydia smith
There's an entire book series about it.
tim pool
Yeah, I know.
adam crigler
I'd probably live the rest of my life.
lydia smith
And just be fine.
adam crigler
How I am.
What choice do I have?
lydia smith
Nothing crazy.
Yeah, whatever.
tim pool
Eric Fitzgerald says, hey there, love the show.
Home Free just released a song today called God Bless the USA, and as a collab between them, the US Air Force Band, and Lee Greenwood, was very refreshing with all the stuff going on.
Spin the UFO.
adam crigler
Gladly.
lydia smith
Very cool.
adam crigler
Gladly.
I will gladly spin it.
tim pool
What is this?
adam crigler
There's a few amazing art pieces out there that you can see of me smashing the like button.
It's pretty fantastic.
Someone put my head on top of maybe Hulk Hogan's?
I think it's Hulk Hogan.
tim pool
Just smash that.

Smash it.

Alright.
Student of History says, in regards to your 1pm vid, those people on Reddit need to look into
Stalingrad and the Battle of Berlin in World War II between cannibalism, Rattenkrieg,
and the Joy Divisions.
They don't want this at all.
adam crigler
Those people that you're talking about need to look into history.
tim pool
Period.
There was a post on Reddit about Facebook banning the Boogaloos, just like several hundred accounts.
And in the comments, I love it, were people saying things like, the cities should cut off the red states because the cities subsidize the red states.
And then someone responded with like, this same meme gets posted every single time by dumb redditors who have no idea what they're talking about because it would take seriously a couple hours for anyone within 100 miles of New York to cut off New York's water supply.
And then what does New York have?
Like, nah, these cities are hyper-centralized and it's hard to get resources in there.
They don't get it.
And then someone responded, the NYPD has 34,000 cops ready and willing.
It's like, no, there's no water.
They leave.
That's it.
There's no water.
They're not going to drink anything.
So these people don't realize that centralization is a weakness.
They seem to think that the cities are going to... Nah, you're nuts, man.
Keep dreaming.
SomeCallMeCasey says, when you're talking about the algorithm, maybe this is the AI we should be afraid of.
We don't even make it to Skynet.
Yeah, I've talked about it before.
We just create an algorithm that feeds us what we want, and it's happily giving us what we want.
And it's happy to do so.
It's not really happy, it's just a machine doing it, sorting things out.
adam crigler
Yeah, I guess.
Feels more like a piper that's doing a boop-boop-boop-boop-boop-boop, and not everyone's listening.
tim pool
Everyone's just dancing along.
adam crigler
But there's a few that are just blindly following it off a cliff.
Yeah.
tim pool
Let's see, Eric A. says, That guy from the Panama Papers who died was John Ash,
former president of UN's GA.
It was reported he accidentally crushed his own throat with a barbell five days before testifying.
That's right.
The Snopes fact check is hilariously bad.
Well, we'll end up getting a legal letter saying, like, here's what you must clarify on the air.
adam crigler
Oh, really?
Yeah, probably.
tim pool
What are they going to do?
It's a live show.
People are watching us live, so... Jordan says, would you agree that a far-left person's argument on why people shouldn't own guns come from the fact that most people they surround themselves with are the exact type of people that shouldn't own guns?
The far left is very, very pro-2A.
This is another misconception.
It's establishment Democrats who are anti-2A.
The far left, go actually talk to them.
Like, they have Redneck Revolt, John Brown Gun Club.
They want guns.
And it's funny because when we make fun of, like, moderate, like, crony Democrat types, the people who support Biden blindly, and therefore gun control, they call Trump a fascist, and then they want Trump to be able to take everyone's guns away.
That's a contradiction.
And everyone mocks them, and rightly so.
But the far-left types, the Antifa types, they're like, no, we're pro-gun.
Yeah, totally.
lydia smith
Give me guns.
tim pool
You need guns for revolution.
adam crigler
We agree.
tim pool
Completely agree.
And it's funny too, when you hear them, they'll say stuff like, this actually goes around in far-left forums, they'll say things like, when a government becomes destructive to these ends or whatever, it is the duty of the people or whatever, and then they actually take quotes from conservatives talking about standing up to tyrannical government.
And like, when are the conservatives going to actually agree with those claims?
Well, you're now seeing the Boogaloo Boys, I guess?
Seeing people who are not overtly ideological, but do believe, I guess, some of them, in standing up to tyrannical government.
So they're getting armed and ready, I guess?
They're getting banned for it, many of them are getting arrested.
So, it's not even about left or right.
There's people who don't like the government, think the government is overstepped, and they want to go nuts.
I don't think these people realize what comes afterwards, though.
That's what's scary.
Yeah.
Like that person was saying with the cannibals or whatever in Stalingrad and stuff.
You ever play World of Warcraft?
You don't play World of Warcraft.
adam crigler
Never did, no.
tim pool
When you watch the undead characters, they have the ability to cannibalize.
It's like, you don't want to understand.
You think these people, man, they're playing stupid games.
They have no idea how bad it really gets.
adam crigler
I know.
That's what I've been saying.
tim pool
Listen, man, let me tell you a story.
adam crigler
Or how bad it is in certain places in the world right now.
tim pool
I was driving back up here from, I think, D.C.
with a friend of mine, and there was a car accident.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And we just, like, right, like, literally within seconds after it happened, maybe, like, 15 seconds, we were, you know, in traffic, slowly moving at a very slow pace, and I look out my window, and I saw people screaming and begging for help because it had just happened, and there was a guy on the ground, and, graphic warning, man, his legs From the shin down was ground Chuck.
And he was moving and like looking and you can see like he's in shock.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Yep.
And I guess he got knocked out of the vehicle.
They got hit.
He landed legs, got run over.
And I'm like, you do not understand the feeling you get when you see something like that.
These people have no idea what they're talking about.
When I was, when I was little, my dad, he was a Marine.
He's a firefighter.
And he explained like, it changes you.
These people don't, they've never seen it.
He's like a lot of them throw up the first time.
As soon as you see some kind of graphic, you know, serious injury, they just turn and they barf.
Like in the movies and stuff, but it happens.
I was doing, when I was doing the hostile environment training, they were explaining to us that some people,
no matter what they do, no matter what they think, they can't handle it.
And so they showed us a video of a femoral bleed from a pig.
And then all of a sudden, and when he plays it, we hear a loud bang.
Someone, we were all sitting in steel, like those, those, you know, aluminum chairs or whatever.
Some guy saw the bleed and just hit the floor.
unidentified
Boom!
tim pool
And then knocked people down.
And then the dude runs over, and clearly this guy's passed out.
And so he lifts his legs up, and then the dude starts waking up.
And the dude tries getting up, and the trainer goes, don't move.
And the guy goes, I'm fine.
And he goes, don't!
Move and then the guy just stays there and just explaining everybody that his blood pressure dropped
Yeah the blood drained from his brain passed causing the pass
out and that by elevating his legs the pressure the pressure is returning to
His head so he can come to but if he stands up right now, he'll pass out again
Yeah and so we had to turn the video off and he said some people
at the sight of a bleed or blood like that will Just lose their blood pressure and he's like it's not it's
not because he's weak is not because it's just it happens to people
lydia smith
Yeah, do you know what causes that? I don't know what causes that rapid of a blood pressure drop
That surprises me.
tim pool
That was crazy.
lydia smith
I really only see that in people with heart conditions.
tim pool
Maybe.
He seemed like he was in his late 30s.
lydia smith
Yeah, that's kind of weird.
tim pool
It was a bunch of people getting trained for not necessarily just conflict, but like hurricanes, just like general crisis situations.
And this dude just zonked right out.
So I can only imagine these people playing these stupid games.
I wonder what these kids, these 18-year-olds at the Chaz, who are like, you know, dude, so cool, like, I have my own tent, and I'm gonna pass a law that says I get two cheeseburgers.
And then they walk up and they see a kid bleeding out, going, and they're like, I wonder what happened in their brain when they saw that.
I wanna go home.
lydia smith
Yeah, seriously.
tim pool
Mom, I don't wanna play anymore.
adam crigler
Yeah, right.
tim pool
And then they left.
lydia smith
Man, what a mess.
tim pool
And I've seen some crazy stuff in my day.
Some crazy, crazy stuff.
You getting ready to spin that UFO?
Is that what you were doing?
adam crigler
I was, yeah.
Oh, I'm always ready, Tim.
I'm ready.
I can be spinning that UFO in no time.
tim pool
I'm sorry, I gotta say it.
I am either accidentally I don't know if this is the same thing, but there was a video recently where a guy said that his videos were taken down.
adam crigler
Look at this.
tim pool
Justin said, did you see the article about the chess channel,
a GADmator's chess channel podcast being removed?
Also, like has been smashed. Appreciate it.
I don't know if this is the same thing, but there was a video recently where a guy said that his videos were taken
adam crigler
down.
tim pool
I'm not going to repeat what he said.
Verbatim.
But he basically explained that in chess, you have two colored pieces.
Right.
There's the white colored pieces, and then there is the black side.
And he mentioned that there is a statistical advantage to whoever goes first, which happens to be one of those colors.
You have to be very careful about how I say it, because the stream was taken down instantly.
adam crigler
See, I don't agree with that.
I like going second.
tim pool
I like watching... It's a mathematical fact.
lydia smith
Right.
adam crigler
Well, okay.
tim pool
Yeah, it's like a two-point advantage.
adam crigler
Well, that doesn't change...
My, what I said.
tim pool
You like reacting and then, you know, you can go up against their strategy.
For sure.
I mean, it's preference and stuff.
In games like Magic, you can choose to draw first and you get the draw advantage.
But typically going first gets you a decent advantage.
Anyway, the point is, I made a joke on Twitter saying that chess needs to be banned because it's colonialism.
The white pieces go first, which, you know, It creates a whole bunch of problems, and then the joke I made was that all of the colors, all of the pieces should be brown, there should be only pawns, we'll get rid of class, and no one should be allowed to actually move any of the pieces because that would imply you have authority over them.
So I'm kidding, and now they're actually taking down chess videos.
adam crigler
Well, they put them back up.
unidentified
Did they?
adam crigler
They took them down and put them back up.
It was an algorithm, but you can see how the algorithm just kind of runs rampant.
So they did bring him back up.
So.
tim pool
And then I also did the family guy joke when that woman quit Big Mouth, the show from Netflix.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And then I quoted the tweet and said, LOL, now do Family Guy in Cleveland.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And then Mike Henry from Family Guy on the Cleveland show announced the next day he was
quitting the role of Cleveland Brown.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Because he's white and the character is black.
And I started laughing.
adam crigler
That's when I posted the Vader gif of him of a snowflake landing on his hand and him just going like this.
I was like, oh yeah, it was the perfect gif.
unidentified
I was like, yes, juicy.
adam crigler
No one cares, by the way.
James Earl Jones did an amazing job.
tim pool
It's like, who cares?
adam crigler
He is Vader's voice.
It was amazing.
Who's screeching?
Nobody.
tim pool
No, no, hold on.
I saw a good tweet, actually, from a friend of mine who's very, very progressive, super woke.
And it was a screenshot of a tweet they had posted on Instagram.
And it said, real problem.
Realtors not showing their full catalog of properties to black families for redlining reasons.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Fake problem.
Bedrooms being called the master bedroom having to have their names changed.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
And I'm like, it's actually a really, really good point that we're getting all of these fake, symbolic, woke BS things where it's like- Cancel Aunt Jemima and it's like- No, no.
adam crigler
Who asked for that?
Who cares about that?
tim pool
Mrs. Butterworth.
adam crigler
Aunt Jemima was fine.
unidentified
But why is Mrs. Butterworth being- She's literally not even any color.
tim pool
It's just a glass bottle that looks like a lady.
And they're like, we're gonna rethink our branding.
unidentified
Why?
tim pool
Or it's always sunny in Philadelphia.
adam crigler
But Mr. Clean's still around.
tim pool
Yeah.
One of the funniest memes I've seen was from the It's Always Sunny subreddit.
And they were like, I can't remember what they said, but networks trying to figure out which episodes are too offensive and need to be banned.
And it was like, everything is offensive.
And I'm like, so there's an episode of It's Always Sunny where there's blackface.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And they took it down.
There are so many way worse episodes.
There's literally an episode called The Gang Becomes Black.
adam crigler
Or The Gang Gets Racist or something?
tim pool
That's the first one.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
tim pool
But then there's an episode where all of a sudden they're singing because I guess they were watching The Wiz, The Wizard of Oz.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And they got like electrocutors.
I don't know what it is.
So all of a sudden they get transformed into black people and they're singing and it ends literally with the cops shooting Charlie and I'm like, How is, how is, you didn't pick this one?
It's, you gotta ban the whole show.
No, it's a fake.
It's fake.
No one cares.
No, don't say it.
adam crigler
Comedy's dying.
Don't say it, Timothy.
unidentified
No!
adam crigler
Seriously, they're trying to kill comedy.
They're trying to make everything offensive.
tim pool
Have you ever seen woke comedy?
adam crigler
No, what would be woke comedy?
Have I?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
tim pool
I think Vice did a segment filming a woke comedy thing.
And I could be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure it was supportive of it.
Where it was like, here's how you do comedy while not being insensitive.
And it was basically a non-binary person making fun of themselves the whole time.
adam crigler
And I was like... How is that not offensive for other people that are like that?
tim pool
So, the initial idea was that if you mock yourself, you're not hurting anyone else, right?
unidentified
That's true.
tim pool
However, the jokes that were being made were specifically about them, which could still relate to other people and therefore I say it's offensive.
lydia smith
That's right.
tim pool
That's the attempt at woke comedy.
Making fun of yourself.
adam crigler
I love making fun of myself.
lydia smith
Yeah, you always have material.
tim pool
Well, Ronnie Dangerfield would be perfect.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
He's a master.
lydia smith
Exactly, yeah.
tim pool
Nobody could complain about...
Can they complain about Rodney Dangerfield?
adam crigler
Probably.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
They'll find something to him.
tim pool
You know, it's like the saying, you can sue a ham sandwich, doesn't mean you're gonna win.
The woke people would literally try to cancel a ham sandwich.
They'd be like, meat is murder!
lydia smith
I mean, technically.
tim pool
White American cheese?
Excuse me?
lydia smith
White American singles.
My favorite kind of cheese.
adam crigler
The tincture of cheese.
tim pool
Whenever I'm at the market, I always point that out.
adam crigler
That's a colonized sandwich.
tim pool
Craft white American.
I'm like, is this cheese?
Are they going to change this?
He does always point it out.
It's awesome.
adam crigler
No, it's getting quite old.
tim pool
Come on, be honest.
No, I believe Craft will have to change the packaging.
adam crigler
Oh, no.
tim pool
I think some already did, to be honest.
adam crigler
Is it even really cheese?
tim pool
I don't even know.
lydia smith
It is not.
tim pool
No, it's like some... Cheese product.
Yes, cheese product.
But it literally says white American on the front of the package, and I'm wondering, like, at what point are they gonna have to issue a stupid statement about why it's offensive?
lydia smith
We're gonna be rebranding.
tim pool
Like, come on, dude.
They're saying they can't use... GitHub is like, we will no longer use the terms master and slave.
And, like, real estate companies saying, like, we will no longer refer to this as a master bedroom or master bathroom.
It's like...
Those don't matter.
adam crigler
What about your master's degree?
lydia smith
That's what I was wondering about.
adam crigler
Is that gone?
tim pool
It's now your privileged degree.
lydia smith
Oh, that's a thing you worked for, though.
tim pool
Your P.A.
That's a lot of work, dude.
Your P.D., your privilege.
adam crigler
Congratulations.
You didn't have to work for this at all.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
If you're a minority.
And you go to Oxford.
tim pool
There's another meme going around.
There's one reason why I just don't like the wokeness is that you can very easily find the overlaps between the left and white supremacists and their inherent beliefs about white people.
Now, they might disagree on the inherent beliefs of other races, but when it pertains to them, they literally sound just like white supremacists.
adam crigler
It's pretty insane how racist these crazy leftists are.
I told you I told you the story vividly racist standing next to minorities that are like Yeah, what they said, and it's like, what?
tim pool
But listen, listen.
adam crigler
Are you hearing what they're saying?
tim pool
I told you about when I was at North Dakota with that guy, right?
adam crigler
Maybe, what is the situation?
tim pool
I was at a restaurant, and I was explaining that I had a meeting in Los Angeles, and then this guy said, that's colonial thinking.
adam crigler
Oh, okay, right, right, right.
tim pool
The gist of it that I'm trying to get to is this guy literally told me, this woke guy, that the concept of time was created by white Europeans, and that the developments of East Asia only came about because colonizers came to China.
How condescending is that?
adam crigler
That is like the most white supremacist thing to say.
tim pool
That's amazing.
I told him, I was like, you realize that East Asian cultures had developed advanced technologies well before Europeans ever did.
Right.
Cultures were different, and there are pros and there's cons, and to act like this guy believes that Europeans invented everything?
They really do.
They really do think it.
He's like, the whole world was wrapped up in this tight colonial ball.
I'm like, not true, dude.
lydia smith
That's amazing.
tim pool
It's completely not true.
But they believe it.
And they're white.
And they view themselves as the best.
adam crigler
It's insane.
tim pool
White supremacists with guilty consciences.
lydia smith
Someone in the comments called it pity racism.
I was like, that's perfect.
That's exactly it.
So I saw that.
unidentified
That's great.
That's funny.
tim pool
All right, let's read some more of these.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Let's see.
RacerSharp says, a sound stable mind may present reasonable opinions like an extravagant feast of validity, but the impatient mouths of deranged fools regurgitate trash as if it's spoiled meat.
lydia smith
Interesting.
tim pool
That was fun.
adam crigler
Wonderfully put.
lydia smith
Very graphic, yeah.
tim pool
Kenji says, what's up Tim, Adam, and Lids.
Thanks for interpreting the madness that is 2020 and giving us your daily take on things.
Keep up the good work.
Happy early 4th of July.
I am going to celebrate 4th of July.
I am going to burn vegetables and meats.
adam crigler
Woah!
Oh, okay.
Just burning vegetables.
lydia smith
Set them on fire.
tim pool
That would actually be a funny skit.
adam crigler
We should do that.
tim pool
We put on hoodies and masks.
adam crigler
And do like a voiceover of like screaming.
tim pool
And you see someone with a lighter trying to light something.
And then it comes around to spark.
It's a sparkler.
No, it's a sparkler.
And then they're like, yeah!
unidentified
And then you go around dancing and waving little American flags.
adam crigler
Gonna burn the vegetables down.
unidentified
Burn those vegetables.
tim pool
Monkey Bread says, Tim, a mutual acquaintance that you met at OWS, who also recently released a comic book that you commented on, also supported the Chaz, has stated that it would have worked out if the far-right and undercover cops wouldn't have shot people.
Yes, I know who you are referring to.
adam crigler
Oh my goodness.
tim pool
I know of whom you speak.
And that just goes to show you that, yes, instead of actually dealing with The problems they were facing.
adam crigler
And that actually showed up.
tim pool
Oh, it was the police.
It was actually the cops.
adam crigler
No, no, no.
That was undercover people that were trying to undermine what we were doing.
tim pool
Instead of the fact that a couple of kids were joyriding in an SUV and they got shot up.
lydia smith
It wasn't real, Chaz.
adam crigler
Right.
Here's the proof I have, though.
Here's the proof I have.
No, no, no, no, no.
I don't like that narrative.
I don't like that narrative.
Let me talk about what I got here.
tim pool
The next argument is going to be what you just said.
Now that the Chazz has failed, after New York fails, they're gonna try and set up new Chazzes, and then people are gonna be like, dude, every time they've tried Chazz, it doesn't work.
Dude, that wasn't really Chazz.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
That wasn't a real Chazz.
Real Chazz would be like this.
lydia smith
Perfect.
adam crigler
My Utopia is gonna work.
lydia smith
Exactly.
tim pool
And now we'll try it again.
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
See who else dies.
tim pool
Eric A says, by the way, I just got a new job three weeks ago.
Today someone said how crazy 2020 is.
I agreed and mentioned the Chaz.
Turns out in an office of 16 people, no one had even heard about it.
Told them to watch you guys to catch up.
Love the show.
Spin the UFO.
adam crigler
I will spin it for you.
Congrats on your new job.
tim pool
Somebody made a little comic where it's like an alien was like going about his business and then they hear Adam yell, spin the UFO.
And then he's like, oh no.
And then he's getting spun around because he's like inside of it.
adam crigler
I can pull that up if you want.
tim pool
That's cute.
adam crigler
It's pretty good.
lydia smith
We'll look at it some other time.
adam crigler
It was one of the art submissions.
It was fantastic.
It was a little comic book someone made.
lydia smith
Get the whole office hooked on us, please.
All right, here we go.
tim pool
Bruno says, counter protesters should give their flags over to be burned.
Blank them with kindness.
That's America.
Yes, YouTube, baby, censor that.
Oh.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
lydia smith
I know what you're going to say.
tim pool
Wow.
lydia smith
Geez.
tim pool
Yep, that's YouTube.
adam crigler
Actually, people are hitting me up about certain comments they're trying to talk about.
unidentified
You can't.
adam crigler
I'm not going to say it.
But I'll tell you after the show.
Really?
But they're trying to comment about certain specific things that won't come up.
lydia smith
Timely topics?
adam crigler
YouTube just says edit your comment before you can hit send.
tim pool
Yeah, yep.
So I tried commenting when I was on the way to LA.
adam crigler
Yeah, oh and on AdamCast.
tim pool
So I noticed the UFO was gone.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
And so I was gonna comment something and I can't remember exactly what I said but it told me no.
adam crigler
What?
About the UFO being gone?
tim pool
Because I said something like, how dare you take my UFO away or something like that, and it wouldn't let me comment it.
adam crigler
That's pretty funny.
lydia smith
This is a rude comment.
adam crigler
Speaking of which, that was an Atomcast IRL episode, and I started a YouTube channel, Atomcast IRL, so you can check it out.
I uploaded my favorite episode.
Me and Ian Crossland did an episode on Tesla, and he is an incredible man.
You can go check that out on Atomcast IRL on YouTube.
unidentified
Boom.
tim pool
And also, if you can follow me on Twitter and Instagram, at TimCast.
You can follow at AdamKrigler on Twitter and Instagram as well.
And of course, at SourPatchLids, L-Y-D-S, on Twitter.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
But let's re... Uh-oh, someone says, damn it, Tim, you just got Rodney canceled.
No, no, no, no.
He only makes fun of himself.
adam crigler
That's SJW.
tim pool
Right?
adam crigler
That's SJW approved.
tim pool
Making fun of yourself.
adam crigler
Their rules.
Their rules.
lydia smith
That's their rules.
adam crigler
So, yeah.
tim pool
Here we go, let's see this.
Fluffy Pig Monster says, check out Seattle PD YouTube page.
They released camera feeds from Chaz this morning.
Shows shootings and what looks like inside conversations.
Whoa, are they spying on people?
That's crazy.
adam crigler
Yeah, interesting, interesting.
tim pool
Yeboi says, the Mayans were dyslexic.
They actually thought the world would end in 2021, not 2012.
No, actually it was 2020.
So there's an article about this.
adam crigler
They keep pushing it back.
tim pool
No, it was 2012, and now it's 2020 for one reason.
adam crigler
Why?
tim pool
They said that the Gregorian calendar actually removed several days per year.
adam crigler
So over time.
tim pool
If you were to add the days back, then the true translation would be 2020.
lydia smith
Which makes sense.
adam crigler
Of course.
tim pool
It all makes sense.
lydia smith
July 4th.
adam crigler
When?
What, really?
unidentified
Just sometime in 2020.
adam crigler
Sometime in June, yeah.
No, no, no.
That calendar is just the great year and it came to an end and it's restarting now.
tim pool
Right.
It would be like if someone said, the calendar ends December 31st.
adam crigler
The world must be ending.
lydia smith
Yeah, not quite.
adam crigler
The calendar ends.
Sorry, no.
26,000 year.
tim pool
We got a bunch of big ol' Super Chats.
Appreciate it.
Thanks, Caleb.
lydia smith
Thanks, guys.
tim pool
Greg Gordon says, hey guys, I sent all three of you some links on Instagram, DMs under my name, Squirm.
Really interesting and the story should go viral to help the country.
Would love to see you discuss it.
unidentified
We will.
Check it out.
adam crigler
Yeah, right on.
tim pool
Elijah says, fireworks on base.
We'll be celebrating America while serving this awesome country.

adam crigler
I'm gonna spin the UFO right now for you to do well on your test tomorrow.
lydia smith
Good luck, dude.

There it goes.
tim pool
By the power of UFO, you will pass.
adam crigler
Okay, yeah.
Whoa, it's starting to bounce.
tim pool
It's funny when it goes crazy.
adam crigler
Yeah, I don't want to knock it off course.
tim pool
Joe B says, China is seeding counter-ideology in their enemies.
Think of it like placing powder kegs to blow clear the wall while the current guard is paid to ignore it.
Trump exposed them.
Now part of the wall is gone and chaos is unfolding.
Spin the UFO.
adam crigler
I gotta spin it.
I'm pushing the limits, but I'm doing it.
tim pool
Pushing the limits of what can be spun.
Adam, you're mad!
You can't spin!
lydia smith
No such thing.
unidentified
There is no such thing.
tim pool
That'd be awesome.
That's a good point.
Of course.
First last is what if people started making neural net speech videos dubbing over Biden's
biggest gaffes with wholesome comments?
That way the media couldn't dispute the claim without showing what he really said.
Oh, interesting.
Well, they just wouldn't show what he said.
They clip Trump out of context on purpose.
adam crigler
Of course.
tim pool
What are we going to do about it?
Buckeye says, in a message of positivity, I love both of your, you guys' voices.
Time to start streaming your music.
Smash that like button.
Spin the UFO.
This Latino is for Trump.
Yes!
adam crigler
Thank you for the compliment.
I appreciate that.
tim pool
This is a point that I was making, and I made it before.
It's like, Growing up in Chicago, very eclectic ethnicities.
adam crigler
You're from Chicago?
tim pool
Absolutely.
adam crigler
Me too.
tim pool
So you have, where I grew up, you could walk 20 minutes and you're in a Hispanic area, right?
Okay.
When we had Fourth of July parties, it wasn't like only white people celebrated.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
We had people of all races hanging out and we'd be eating hot dogs and people have beers.
adam crigler
Because people seem to forget we're all Americans.
That's a good point.
Well, yes, somebody out there is trying to keep us divided, but hold on.
And I don't like it.
But people, I don't like it.
tim pool
Many of these people on the left also forget that most people don't care and
they will take a holiday if they can get it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
That's a good point.
tim pool
You're like, this is your holiday.
And it's like, I get to go out to the parking with my buddies and
have some, some brats and brews.
You got it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And now they're, they're telling you, you can't.
lydia smith
Excuse me?
tim pool
It's not even necessarily about America.
It's about your nostalgia.
lydia smith
It's about your... Like having a break.
tim pool
Here's what I was saying on one of my segments earlier.
You know they try and market nostalgia to people?
adam crigler
Yeah, it works for gamers.
tim pool
They're doing Princess Bride again.
Yep, they just want... There's no reason to redo the movie.
adam crigler
No.
tim pool
Imagine the opposite of that.
Actively crushing and insulting that nostalgia feeling you get.
No, people long for that feeling of what once was.
The good old days when they were hanging out with their buddies and all their problems melted away.
Imagine now all that goodness and that good feeling you get and that longing and they come to you and tell you it's evil and wrong and you're not allowed.
adam crigler
That's like... That's basically what's happening right now.
tim pool
Exactly.
lydia smith
That's your personality.
tim pool
Makes people angry.
adam crigler
Yep.
Rightly so.
tim pool
Here's the way I see it.
You know we talk about when you get one of these never-Trumper people and they can't give you a real reason why they hate Trump.
They just get really angry.
adam crigler
Or shifting the narrative of what you said to fit what they're... They just get mad.
That's true.
tim pool
They don't care what you're saying.
That same emotional reaction will happen in people when you tell them the 4th of July is racist.
lydia smith
Oh yeah.
tim pool
You go up to a regular American who's at Walmart right now and they're looking at their sparklers and they're like, how much beer should we get?
And then you walk up and start preaching to them about how they're evil bigots and they're gonna start getting irrationally angry like, what?
I don't know if it would be irrational.
adam crigler
It would be rational.
They have every right to be angry for someone.
tim pool
I don't know if I agree.
mean by irrationally angry is like angrier than they should be for someone saying something
like this.
adam crigler
I don't know if I agree.
tim pool
If you came to me and said I think what you're doing is racist, I think a rational reaction
would be negative.
adam crigler
I don't care what you think.
tim pool
No, you could be like, well I find that.
adam crigler
That would be the true thing to do.
Like, you know what?
It's American for you to think what you want, and you can tell me, and I just don't care.
And then turn around and walk away.
tim pool
But you're allowed to be angry.
adam crigler
Yeah, sure.
tim pool
And rational, in my opinion, anger would be like, I am deeply offended by how dare you say that to me.
Irrational anger is like, excuse me, what are you saying to me?
This is not Seattle!
And like getting in their face and yelling, how dare you!
Because you're attacking them at their core.
adam crigler
Right.
And that's what we're seeing because most people don't want to be irrational.
They don't want to even be angry!
They just want to go brew some brats and beers.
tim pool
Brew some brats?
adam crigler
Yeah.
I said it.
In the beer.
I meant what I said.
tim pool
You put it in the pan with some beer and fry it up.
That's actually really good.
unidentified
It is?
tim pool
I know.
You got a special message right here, buddy.
Can you read it?
adam crigler
For me?
Is that that hefty one there?
tim pool
Just came in.
adam crigler
Let me see.
Oh, this is specifically for Adam.
tim pool
Big ol' super chat.
adam crigler
To buy a bottle of Booker's bourbon, not to be used for anything else, bless you, bless me, Adam, you alpha chad, you patriot.
tim pool
I think we can handle this right now.
adam crigler
Thank you.
I love it.
What are we doing?
tim pool
To ensure the super chat is appropriately distributed.
It was $100 Super Chet, and I hereby bestow upon you the $100 Super Chet for your bourbon.
adam crigler
So I'm going to go buy this, what is it, Booker's bourbon.
lydia smith
After the show.
unidentified
All right.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Where do you even get it from?
Do you order it?
adam crigler
That's nice.
Hey, well, thank you.
That's from Flood.
Thank you, Flood.
I appreciate you very much.
lydia smith
Look at that instant Super Chet.
adam crigler
And I love whiskey, so.
tim pool
He said specifically it must be spent on that and nothing else.
adam crigler
I will.
lydia smith
So earmark that.
adam crigler
And if I can buy two bottles, I guess I have to.
unidentified
That's right.
tim pool
I wonder how that works tax-wise.
Do you have to report, like, I was paid, I was compensated for my work with Brevin?
adam crigler
We don't have to tell big government, baby.
We don't have to tell them.
Wait, wait, here.
Give it back to me under the table.
lydia smith
Literally under the table.
tim pool
The IRS is watching and they're taking notes.
adam crigler
They're like, he passed him a $100 bill.
unidentified
Oh, taxes.
tim pool
I love it.
adam crigler
Awesome.
Thank you, Flood.
Appreciate that.
tim pool
All right, let's see what we got.
Jared says, Reddit says you can't criticize the minority group.
Are they acknowledging Trump's silent majority?
Or since he didn't win the popular vote, should we be the protected group?
lydia smith
Oh, I don't know.
tim pool
That's so funny.
You saw what Reddit said, right?
adam crigler
I did, yeah.
It's crazy.
tim pool
So Reddit, one of the biggest social media platforms in the world, said you are basically allowed to harass, intimidate, threaten majority groups.
Okay, well, women are the majority in this country.
unidentified
So I guess that means... Ha ha, Lydia!
adam crigler
I'm harassing you!
lydia smith
Have you noticed?
adam crigler
You're cool.
I got nothing against you.
tim pool
One of the big complaints right now is that they banned right-wing LGBT and gender-critical.
But they did not ban things like struggle porn.
A bunch of subs dedicated to watching videos of women being abused for self-gratification.
lydia smith
Indeed.
tim pool
But that goes within their rules.
That's what they said.
You're allowed to, according to the rules, say awful things about females.
adam crigler
I'm still shocked Reddit's still as popular as this.
tim pool
I think they're not.
I think they're losing it a little bit.
lydia smith
Yeah, just a skosh, huh?
tim pool
Dude, I use it less and less every day because... I don't use Reddit.
adam crigler
Last time I used Reddit was when you and I were playing Destiny regularly.
tim pool
And using it to form groups.
adam crigler
How long ago was that?
tim pool
That was like six years ago.
adam crigler
That was a while ago.
tim pool
That was cool, though.
You could use Reddit to like, hey, I'm looking for a group for this game.
lydia smith
That's cool.
tim pool
Not to do matchmaking for everything.
adam crigler
Well, no.
No, no, no.
They actually have their own... Bungie made an app.
So you can transfer your weapons, you can find groups, you can, you know, work through your clan.
It's much, much better now.
tim pool
When I go on Reddit, when I used to, it was because I wanted to see something interesting.
Like, you might see a picture of, like, a bat.
And the bat was, you know, eating an apple, and you're like, look at that!
I've never seen a bat eating an apple before!
lydia smith
That's so cool!
tim pool
Or I once saw a video on Reddit of a chicken eating a mouse.
unidentified
Whoa!
tim pool
There's a cat, and there's, like, a mouse, and the cat's, like, gonna bop it, and then the chicken jumps out of nowhere and just grabs the mouse and starts bashing it on a rock and then just eats it.
adam crigler
Dude, chickens are crazy, though.
We've had chickens.
They're crazy.
lydia smith
They're nuts.
tim pool
And so, well, that's what Reddit used to be, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Do you know what happens now if you go to the same subreddit?
The same video you would find... Is the cat asking to come on my... The cat wants to come on my lap.
If the same subreddit, you would see the same video, only the mouse would have Donald Trump's head, and the chicken would have Joe Biden's head, and I'd be like...
unidentified
What is this?
lydia smith
What the heck?
This is weird.
tim pool
And then you go to politics and it's all just a big circle of people patting each other on the back.
lydia smith
Yes.
adam crigler
Wearing orange, like, his face with a cross through it.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
And that's clearly not representative of regular people.
adam crigler
No, it's not.
lydia smith
It's so boring.
tim pool
It is weird, though.
adam crigler
That's why it's slowly dying.
tim pool
Yeah.
Nah.
Maybe not necessarily, I'm just saying I feel like it's becoming less relevant.
unidentified
Why?
tim pool
I think it's becoming, you know what I think the reason Reddit polarized?
I don't think for the most part it's a grand conspiracy against Trump, like a lot of people
think they're, you know, what I think it really is, is that...
adam crigler
People are sick of PC culture.
tim pool
No, the other way around.
Well, no, listen.
I was reading something from Y Combinator, which is like a startup organization.
They give money to new tech companies.
And there was this big thread about the algorithmic challenges of polarization saying that Once a website gets large enough to where it's a general interest platform, you have conservatives and liberals who don't get along, and then one side will make demands.
And so if you do nothing, you start to lose customers.
So the organizers then, the people who run the company, try giving in a little bit, which triggers the other side who makes demands, and then it just rocks back and forth until everything flips and the whole thing collapses.
So what happens with a site like Reddit is they ultimately decide, We're not going to win every single person.
If we ban all the conservatives, at least we'll have happy liberals.
And so that's why they do it.
Yeah.
That's that's one of the arguments made about it, because they'd rather have a small functioning
platform just for the left than a dysfunctional collapsing platform for, you know, everybody.
And so you end up with broken, biased platforms.
And that's, I think, where we're heading.
I mean, you look at Parler.
Apparently now it is called Parler, even though it's spelled Parlay.
adam crigler
Say it, tell me.
tim pool
Parlor.
adam crigler
Tell me, what?
tim pool
It's pronounced parlor.
adam crigler
No, I know, but who said that first?
tim pool
The founder said it in an interview.
adam crigler
No, I did not.
unidentified
No, you're right.
lydia smith
That was from Flood.
unidentified
I know, but you physically handed it to me.
adam crigler
It was delicious.
For tax purposes.
Adam said... and he gave me a $100 bill!
tim pool
No, no, no, I did not.
adam crigler
No, you're right. That was from Flood.
I know, but you physically handed it to me. It was delicious.
For tax purposes.
So actually, Flood, not only did you give me this to buy some Booker bourbon,
you actually forced his hand to hand me a $100 bill.
And he just told me I was right.
tim pool
That's right.
adam crigler
This is a good episode for me.
This is good.
tim pool
For anybody in the IRS that is watching right now, that $100 bill came from that guy.
No, I'm just kidding.
lydia smith
That one guy.
tim pool
We'll deal with it after the accountant says it has to be Delaware.
What were we talking about now?
Oh yeah, Parler.
adam crigler
Smashing the like button.
tim pool
We got 21,000 likes.
adam crigler
Oh, now I'm going to take this opportunity to remind everybody that last night's show, Tim approved this.
tim pool
No, I didn't.
adam crigler
100,000 likes and he's going to take his beanie off.
lydia smith
100,000 likes.
adam crigler
If we get on a live show, 100,000 likes, the beanie's coming off.
lydia smith
All right.
adam crigler
That'll never happen.
That's what he said.
This is your words, Tim.
tim pool
No, I didn't.
adam crigler
You said this.
tim pool
It was all hypothetical.
I said a million dollars.
adam crigler
I thought it was 500.
I thought it was 500.
tim pool
6.25 million.
6.25 million.
We got a new bid.
unidentified
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
adam crigler
New bid.
tim pool
Okay, hold on, hold on.
I want to go back to this idea, though.
adam crigler
Parlor, parlor, parlor, go ahead.
tim pool
Because of the censorship, you see a rise of right-wing platforms.
But these cultural institutions are trying to do everything in their power to destroy any attempt at the right to have a platform to speak.
So like clockwork, Minds pops up.
What do they say?
Minds is hosting Nazis!
unidentified
Yeah.
No.
tim pool
because they found like four unused accounts where someone posted like an image.
Yeah.
And that's, oh, and the response from Mines was, oh, that breaks our rules, we'll ban them immediately.
And they were like, why did you ban them sooner?
Because you just reported it.
Yeah.
Like people have to report it so we could ban it.
And then Vice writes this big fake thing claiming Nazis use mines.
They don't.
No.
They really don't.
They do the same thing to BitChute.
They did the same thing to Nacho Parley.
Yeah.
They're saying the far right is organizing on this app.
It's Parler.
Parler.
So the founder actually came out in an interview and said it was Parler.
And I guess he spelled it wrong on purpose, so.
Because it's literally a word in English, parlay.
adam crigler
Parlay, yeah.
tim pool
Well, you know.
Imagine if we called it, like, Tweetire.
Tweetire?
lydia smith
Tweetire.
tim pool
Over on Fossebach.
adam crigler
Tweetay.
tim pool
Like it's spelled Facebook.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah.
Face CIA book.
That's what we call it.
Face CIA book.
adam crigler
Focky book.
tim pool
Focky book.
Now we're demonetized.
adam crigler
I was saying Facebook in a weird way.
unidentified
Yep.
adam crigler
For the record.
lydia smith
The robots.
tim pool
All right, here we go.
What does it say?
Jen Martina says, you broke 20k likes again.
Also, why hasn't Tim followed Lydia and Adam on Parler?
lydia smith
That's a great question.
adam crigler
Because he doesn't care about us.
unidentified
He doesn't care about us.
tim pool
I don't care.
adam crigler
But it doesn't bother me though.
tim pool
We've got another super chat for you.
adam crigler
For me?
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Okay.
I will read this super chat.
This is a big old one.
As an FYI, Booker's has a few different batches, so do some homework before you buy.
Oh my goodness!
I've seen some go for around $80 and some are $200 plus.
Also wanted to see if Tim had another hundo on him.
lydia smith
What a generous person!
adam crigler
So you must be saying this one is also for me.
I'm just gonna go ahead and assume that.
Thank you very much.
tim pool
I don't have any more $100 bills.
lydia smith
No, we're out!
adam crigler
Shame.
tim pool
That was a weird coincidence in my pocket actually.
adam crigler
I mean, I'm not upset about it.
lydia smith
It's fantastic.
adam crigler
Is this real?
tim pool
That is a, that is a, that is a, you know, I used to call them a green, green pictures of dead presidents, but that was actually blue.
lydia smith
It's kind of interesting.
adam crigler
It is, isn't it?
unidentified
Huh?
adam crigler
Yeah.
That's cool.
tim pool
You ever, you ever see the meme where they show, thank you John Pope for the, for the, you ever, you ever see the meme where they line up monopoly money compared to us dollars and the colors scheme matches?
adam crigler
No, that's funny though.
tim pool
Yeah, it was like a libertarian thing talking about how the Fed was mocking us.
Because the color hues of some of the bills match the same color scheme to the nominations in Monopoly.
There you go, man.
Alright, let's see what we got.
We'll do a couple more Super Chats here.
King says, remember the 240 rally car bought at 01 Corolla S1.8L?
Make it race.
Ready.
Bondo.
Bodyline smooth.
I have no idea what this means.
adam crigler
Keep it going.
I think this is actually from an Atomcast episode.
tim pool
Bodyline smoothed out.
Charcoal gray.
Mexican blanket accent interior.
Stroked engine to 2.0.
Total sleeper.
unidentified
Mmm.
adam crigler
You might have actually sent me a picture of this.
Because I have a WRX.
I'm really into rally racing.
Yeah, he is.
So this is actually the reason I got the WRX.
It's a beast of a car.
I love this thing.
It's got a lot of stuff done to it.
It's very fast.
I actually plan on bringing it out to the new place.
That's all I'm going to say.
The non-Jersey place that we're going to do.
And that sounds like a sweet, I kind of want to make it a sleeper, you know, make it look just normal.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
When you turn it on and you hit the gas.
Oh yeah.
tim pool
Unknown says, Tim, my girlfriend and I love your show and watch every night.
Could y'all, could y'all all, y'all all, shout out Connor.
unidentified
What up, Connor?
tim pool
She loves y'all and loves Adam going full Jesus Chad on Tim.
adam crigler
You know, I do what I can.
I do what I can.
I call him out when I can.
As much as possible, actually.
tim pool
Chris Nicholson says, winds in the east, storm coming in, something is brewing about to begin.
I'm not saying there's a new civil war, but I feel what's to happen has all happened before.
adam crigler
Wheel of Time.
tim pool
That sounds like it could be a poem in one of those scary stories to tell in the dark, folks.
adam crigler
I'm pretty sure that's the first line in the Wheel of Time.
tim pool
Oh, is it?
adam crigler
Really?
I'm not exactly sure, but it does sound like it.
lydia smith
That is interesting.
tim pool
Ladies and gentlemen, I have bad news.
adam crigler
Is it ten?
tim pool
It is ten.
It is time for us to go back from whence we came.
To bed.
To crawl back into the earth from the sewers where we have arisen from.
lydia smith
I came out of a garden.
tim pool
But there's one thing you should do before you go.
adam crigler
I'm from Chicago.
tim pool
If you haven't already, you can follow me on Twitter and Instagram at Timcast.
You can follow at AdamKrigler on Twitter and Instagram as well.
adam crigler
Yep, AdamKrigler.
tim pool
And you can follow at SourPatchLids, L-Y-D-S.
Yep.
adam crigler
You can make sure to smash the like button.
Someone was actually asking where our P.O.
Box, what the P.O.
Box is.
tim pool
For now, go to TimCast.com slash donate and there is a P.O.
Box at the bottom of the screen.
However, make sure you address it to TimCast IRL.
lydia smith
If it is for TimCast IRL.
adam crigler
If it's for us, TimCast IRL.
tim pool
We actually need to set up different websites and stuff which we're working on for this show versus my other stuff.
But this is available now if you want to send stuff down.
Just make sure you address it to TimCast IRL.
Or whatever.
adam crigler
There's a hefty super chat that's just for Lydia.
I feel like she needs to read it.
lydia smith
Let me see if I can read it.
I won't be able to put the camera on me while I read it though.
adam crigler
Oh, that's fine.
You see it?
From Michelle, my belle?
lydia smith
It says, Lydia, may I suggest strawberry margaritas?
Cheers!
You may always suggest strawberry margaritas because I thoroughly enjoy them.
Thank you for the recommendation.
I will try that.
tim pool
There we go.
Well, make sure you stick around.
We'll be back tomorrow.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Live, 8 p.m.
as per usual.
Yes.
And we'll be clouding up the airwaves so that no one gets to listen to Tucker Carlson.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
Thursday special.
adam crigler
Or Crowder.
Or Crowder, that's right.
Now, don't worry about Crowder.
lydia smith
Just watch us.
adam crigler
Don't worry about Crowder.
lydia smith
Tucker.
adam crigler
As awesome as he is, he is pretty fantastic.
Crowder is very entertaining.
lydia smith
I know you want to listen to us.
adam crigler
But we are very entertaining also.
lydia smith
Yes.
adam crigler
You know what?
If we get 30,000 likes tomorrow, I'll play a song at the end of the show.
unidentified
Oh yeah?
adam crigler
Before our Friday show.
I know.
unidentified
Crazy.
tim pool
You just want to play a song.
adam crigler
That may be true, Tim.
That may be true.
unidentified
Well, well, well.
tim pool
Alright guys.
