tim pool
We got a state of emergency declaration in Georgia because apparently now I think like
40 days on the violence hasn't stopped.
There have now been multiple shootings over the weekend.
Far leftists threw firebombs into a police headquarter window, starting a fire.
It's been pretty crazy, man.
We had the NFAC coalition, black ethno-identitarian, like, extremists, marching through Georgia, calling out white militias, saying things like, bring it.
And then we have this little girl who was killed at the site of the Rayshard Brooks protests.
Georgia has been in total chaos.
So now, Georgia's gonna be deploying a thousand National Guard troops, and we're gonna talk about this.
Welcome to the IRL podcast, Timcast IRL.
It's starting pretty heavy, man.
It's getting crazy out there.
And you'd think, at some point, things would calm down.
I think a lot of people don't realize the media starts ignoring some of these stories because people get desensitized.
But the rioting hasn't stopped across this country.
Anyway, I am hanging out tonight with my friends, as most of you know.
We got this guy.
adam crigler
It's me, this guy.
tim pool
This guy.
adam crigler
What's up, everybody?
Adam Krigler here.
Hey, what up?
tim pool
We got this lady sitting over here doing something.
unidentified
Hello!
lydia smith
I have a pen in my hand.
It's our petulance.
tim pool
I'm producer-ing over here.
adam crigler
I've got a pen in my hand!
tim pool
We've got a lot to talk about.
lydia smith
I like that declaration.
tim pool
We have a lot to talk about here.
This is a rare collector's item.
adam crigler
Get that out of here!
tim pool
It's absolutely amazing.
You know, okay, so listen, listen to my friends.
adam crigler
That is subjective.
tim pool
No, no, no.
For those that are listening, because you can't see, I'm building suspense on purpose, but people watching are probably laughing already.
This is the Washington Redskins Fan Pack Ziploc Bag Series.
And I had to buy it.
You know why?
Because the Redskins are gonna change their name.
Apparently, I got flagged on YouTube for hate speech demonetization for talking about the Redskins.
adam crigler
Seriously?
tim pool
And they won't overturn it.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Yeah, so we're probably demonetized just for me showing you these regular old Ziploc bags you can get at the store.
adam crigler
Cancel Ziploc.
tim pool
There's a reason why I bought these.
There's a reason.
Not only was there concern that they're going to change their name because of all the, you know, all the Black Lives Matter stuff and the, you know, intersectionalism.
I wanted to make sure I could get my hands on a product that represented the Washington Redskins before the name was erased.
Because I'll tell you what, in 20 or 30 years, I'm going to be showing this off and be like, check this out, man.
Like, this is what it used to be, you know?
adam crigler
I had to stifle a yawn right there.
tim pool
It's gonna be in my curio cabinet of all my rare banned items and fine china.
But here's the best part.
adam crigler
As it is, you don't have fine china.
tim pool
Ziploc bags.
I know.
Listen, listen.
This is Ziploc bags, okay?
Which means the box itself is a collector's item.
But within this collector's item are 20 individual collector's items because each bag has the Redskins logo.
adam crigler
So cool.
tim pool
It's like a Russian nesting doll of collector's items.
And to be completely honest, how absolutely absurd is this?
They sell Ziploc bags for every... I mean, I guess it kind of makes sense if you're having a barbecue and you want your team, like your favorite team, and you put, you know, chips in it and you give them out or something.
I don't know what it is people do at Super Bowl, but hey.
I changed the name.
So we've got a lot of important stuff to talk about.
adam crigler
Where was this made?
tim pool
And the goal of me showing that was just to make you all laugh for a second before we talk about... You know where this was made?
adam crigler
Where was it made?
tim pool
China.
adam crigler
No.
No?
No.
tim pool
It wasn't made in China.
adam crigler
Where was it made?
Mexico.
Still not America.
tim pool
So wait, wait, hold on.
Is it offensive then?
It was made by Mexicans.
lydia smith
Oh, I don't know.
adam crigler
Whoa, whoa, what are you implying there, Tim?
lydia smith
Does that cancel out?
tim pool
Because they're a marginalized group.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
Okay, so they're allowed.
tim pool
Only white people are racist.
adam crigler
Right, right, right.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, I was told today because I'm white, I'm not allowed to have an opinion.
tim pool
Welcome to the party, brother.
lydia smith
Yeah, man.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah, that's not gonna work.
It's not gonna work for me.
tim pool
You have one thing going for you.
You work for a minority owned company.
lydia smith
That's right.
adam crigler
I should have said that.
I should have counted right away.
Well, hey, you, I work for, my boss is a minority.
lydia smith
The smallest minority.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah.
The CEO of my company, see?
And actually now I'm allowed to own these.
As an oppressed person myself, I'm not oppressed.
This is so stupid.
I grew up in one of the greatest countries on the planet.
What people don't realize is that, I explain this to people having traveled the world, a homeless person in the United States is wealthier than your average person in a third world country, or in say, Morocco.
In that a homeless person has access to clean drinking water.
There are laws about this, like they can walk into a store and get clean water, they can use the bathrooms, especially with like Starbucks.
But more importantly, I'm not saying they're in a good position, and we definitely want to make sure we can help them out and lift them up, but I tell you what man, a homeless person can sit down in, I know this for a fact, you could sit down in Chicago and go to sleep and wake up with $200 cash.
I'm not saying they're in a good position, okay?
I'm just saying that Americans really have it good.
You know what's one of the funniest things I've ever read?
America is such a great country, our homeless people are overweight.
Have you noticed?
You know about that?
adam crigler
I haven't heard that statement before, but I lived in New York, I lived in LA, I lived in many prominent cities that I've seen a lot of homeless people.
I guess that.
You're right.
I don't see a lot of twig-thin homeless.
It's not really... They exist.
Yeah, yeah.
Sure, sure.
tim pool
But the majority of them... Not even the majority.
We have overweight homeless people.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
Like, that's how wealthy we are, you know?
Good point.
I mean, that's also kind of an indictment on the country.
Like, seriously?
We can't get houses for people, but we're wealthy enough to keep them fat?
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
You know, there's a lot of issues there.
Anyway, if you are just tuning in, there's one thing you must do, and that's smash the like button!
Apparently this only matters on YouTube, so people listening on iTunes or something are like, I have no button, I can't smash any buttons!
adam crigler
There's no button to smash!
I'm gonna accept that in spirit, they are mentally smashing the like button.
And I will accept it.
Wait, wait.
I accept mental smash.
tim pool
If you're listening to the podcast, smash that leave a review button and write a five star review saying we're a great podcast.
adam crigler
Yeah.
I'm not going to say that one.
lydia smith
It doesn't have the same ring.
adam crigler
I'm just going to stick with smash the like button.
Easier.
tim pool
And you can also smash the subscribe button.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
And you can follow me at Timcast, Twitter and Instagram, as well as you can follow at Adam Krigler and at Sour Patch Lids.
adam crigler
Right there.
That's me.
And then.
lydia smith
Oh, wait, wait.
unidentified
Here.
lydia smith
Yeah.
unidentified
Boop, boop, boop.
tim pool
I've been seeing a lot more rhetoric on this.
We are in a civil war.
adam crigler
I feel like, I see what you're saying, Tim, but I don't think, I still don't believe it.
I don't believe we are.
tim pool
I think the issue is that people expect it to look like it did in the 1800s.
Yeah.
Or in, say, like the early 1900s in other countries.
And I think the real issue is that technology has changed the face of what Civil War actually is.
Okay.
So, there was an article coming out from the Brookings Institute today that said Donald Trump was calling Confederates heroes in his July 4th speech.
And I'm like, that's such an obvious lie to anybody who actually listened to Trump's speech.
adam crigler
Yep, which I did, and that's absolutely not the truth.
tim pool
It's not.
And Trump announced the Garden of Heroes, which was not Confederates at all.
It was Amelia Earhart, Harriet Tubman, right?
I think even Frederick Douglass.
And they have the nerve to just brazenly lie.
And then I get brought up, I get this question from, you know, I have friends, there's one friend of mine, man, wow.
Used to be a really nice person.
Believed in the Socratic method.
This is the craziest thing to me.
A friend of mine, high profile on the left.
You're familiar with the Socratic method?
You definitely know what that is.
You want to explain it?
lydia smith
My understanding of the Socratic method is just where you simply break things down and ask questions until people can no longer explain themselves.
More or less.
tim pool
It's simply like someone says they believe something.
adam crigler
OK.
tim pool
Why do you believe that?
unidentified
OK.
tim pool
What do you think about this?
To understand what they're saying and create the framework to where you can actually discuss these ideas.
adam crigler
I like that.
tim pool
Yeah.
It's one of the most effective ways to communicate with somebody when you're at political odds.
This individual has abandoned that and started posting overt leftist identitarian stuff, like really freaky stuff, and has gone full now posting Marxist stuff.
And I'm like, how does this happen to people?
How does this happen?
When I try talking to them, they say, if that was true, Tim, how come all of these news outlets are saying, you know, X?
And I'm like, I don't know.
unidentified
But listen, just watch Trump's speech.
tim pool
He did not call the Confederates heroes.
adam crigler
I saw an interesting tweet.
They're saying if you think for yourself, that's great.
But if you think what you think because of the news, you're thinking someone else's thought process, not your own.
So make your own thought process.
tim pool
So I think the big issue is everyone's waiting for that moment when two groups are wearing armor and they're like marching through the streets.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah, to fight each other.
tim pool
But I think we're in the era of persuasive wars, where you don't win by subjecting someone to force.
You win by manipulating them and getting them to say yes or no.
I mean, it's a good thing.
I mean, I'd rather live in a world where our wars are arguments.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You know, but we do have a bit of violence and maybe it escalates into an overt hot war when all this communication breaks down.
But there have been a lot of people posting about it, some high-profile pundits.
The rhetoric has increased.
And a lot of people are saying to me, we're in it, we're in it, we're in it.
I'm getting emails from people saying the same thing.
And I think from the perspective of manipulation, lies, deception, to trick people into supporting certain ideologies and tear things down, yeah, it makes sense.
So, you know, that's the easiest way I can look at it.
When you have high-profile institutions That's true.
We're seeing it.
their fingers hoping you will never listen to Donald Trump speak.
They can say whatever they want and you will believe it.
adam crigler
That's true.
We're seeing it.
I mean, at least me personally, I'm seeing it all the time.
tim pool
And how many people do you know have now adopted this insane ideology of all white people are
racist?
adam crigler
There's a good many of them.
I face it every day.
Ever since a month ago when I was like, yeah I'm going to vote for Trump because I'm actually listening to him speak myself, I hear what he's saying and I see how everybody else is saying whatever they want to say about him.
But it doesn't make any sense because I'm actually listening to him myself.
I've been vocalizing this and getting flack from people that I knew that I thought that these are the people we're talking about.
And I'm like, oh, you know what?
Let me just, I'll do the research.
You know, explain it to me.
I go on their page and I'm looking and it's always the same kind of thing.
It's the memes.
Weird conspiracy theory.
conspiracy have no source.
It's just like Trump's face and like a bunch of words.
And it's like OK.
But I know that that's spun from the mainstream media article that I
read that I proved myself was wrong because I watched the
speak the speech that they were talking about.
And then that's the entire of their pages is all that.
tim pool
It's just like what part of it I think is the corruption
adam crigler
Yeah, absolutely.
tim pool
So a good example is, and we're going to talk about this, we're going to do a fuller segment on this probably later.
adam crigler
And the racializing of media.
They do that all the time, and I can't stand it.
Yeah, they create... A white man does this, a black man does that, a Mexican man does this other thing, and it's like, they're all men, each and every one of them.
tim pool
There's that guy who hit the protesters on the highway, right?
adam crigler
Exactly, yep.
White supremacists.
Right out the gates.
tim pool
The first thing they try and say was a targeted attack.
It did not look like an accident, said one protester.
They swerved around the barricade on a closed highway.
Now it turns out the likely story is probably just a dude who was not very bright.
And he got on the wrong ramp, and he swerved, and he hit somebody.
It's just like, there's not much to it.
adam crigler
Go ahead, go ahead.
tim pool
Here's what ends up happening with the media.
The first thing that happens is the video comes out.
You can see they're all standing on the highway, with vehicles blocking them, and the car is coming around a curve, tries to dodge the vehicles in the middle of the road, then tries to dodge the people on the shoulder, hits two people, and then two people are still standing on the road and he hits them.
Here's what ends up happening.
The police said, We think he may have gone up an exit ramp.
We think he may have gone the wrong way up an exit ramp, and then he drove around the blockade from the protesters, hitting two protesters.
From that statement, other journalists recycle it, instead of actually getting a quote themselves, and say he was driving the wrong way on the highway around a blockade.
So then what ends up happening is these leftists are imagining in their head this crazy white supremacist guy pulling up to the to the roadblock and going and driving around it to get on the highway slamming the gas and going and he speeds towards them and then swerves to hit him when in reality likely just some dumb guy.
So I pull up an article from the Washington Post that literally said in the video you see him speeding the wrong way up an exit ramp crash to crash into the protest or something like that.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
And I'm like the Washington Post.
So, at what point do we... We gotta play Hanlon's Razor.
Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.
But at what point do we invert that?
Never attribute to incompetence that which can be explained by malice.
At a certain point, these journalists have to know.
I mean, he said you can see in the video.
Did he not watch the video?
adam crigler
They must not have, because I know I watched the video, and it's very clear he tries to avoid them.
tim pool
So here's what we end up seeing.
If the journalist lied and didn't actually watch the video, that's malicious.
He's lying to you.
He didn't actually do the work.
adam crigler
Yep, agreed.
tim pool
If he did watch the video and he knows it's not true, he's lying to you, at which point this is malicious.
They are manipulating you on purpose, and that graduates up to the next level, where you end up with, say, the Brookings Institute saying, why is Trump calling the Confederates heroes and all this stuff, which is just 100% lie.
adam crigler
So George Washington was a Confederate?
tim pool
Yep.
When Trump specifically said in his speech, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ulysses Grant, and he like slurred on it.
Okay, I know who those people are.
Those are good people.
And then the media says, Confederates.
When did Trump say anything?
They're lying.
adam crigler
Yeah, he didn't say anything.
tim pool
This is why there was a tweet from some verified accounts, high profile conservative commentators were saying, we're in a civil war.
Dana Lash said, they've been calling it a revolution.
They've never been shy about it.
And what people don't understand, and the reason why I say this, is that it's asymmetrical information, propagandistic, fourth and fifth generational, whatever you want to call it.
You have to realize that these far leftists know full well they can't run around with guns shooting people because that will make them look bad and it will destroy their cause.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
They have to use propaganda and manipulation tactics, infiltration techniques, subversion, and they've been doing it.
And it's working.
To the point now where you can have dozens of high-profile verified journalists saying, Donald Trump today heralded the Confederates as real heroes of America.
And then the same publications, the New York Times says, what did one op-ed say?
I'm a descendant of Thomas Jefferson, take down his memorial.
You have the other guy saying, yes, even George Washington.
They will publish those articles and then turn around and just like blindly look at you and say, No one's tearing down Thomas Jefferson.
Trump's lying to you.
It's like Stepford Wives level, you know, walking up like robot women.
adam crigler
Join us!
tim pool
Google Gobble, man.
adam crigler
Don't give me that look, please.
tim pool
The look?
The crazy eyes?
adam crigler
Yeah.
Do it to the camera next, if you're gonna do it, alright?
tim pool
So here's what I'm trying to get to.
I think maybe Civil War's not even the word people should use, but it's the word people are using right now.
Today.
It was a guy from Red State who brought it up.
Whatever it is, you have people who are literally calling for the destruction of... You know they tore down Frederick Douglass?
This one really made me angry.
adam crigler
I agree, completely.
I've been doing a lot of research on him.
tim pool
He's a rad dude.
adam crigler
He is.
He's great.
He's had a lot of amazing things to say, and it's like, I bet none of those people has ever heard anything he had to say.
Or knew he was, because they wouldn't have ripped down his statue.
tim pool
They do.
They know he is.
And you know why they tore him down?
Because he's a proponent for freedom.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
And they want to erase that.
This is what I was talking about.
This is my main segment today.
So, for those that aren't familiar, Frederick Douglass was a freed slave.
He escaped, actually.
Not freed, I'm sorry.
He escaped.
He worked with Harriet Tubman on the Underground Railroad.
And there's this really great video I was watching.
It's actually from PragerU.
Where they mentioned one of his quotes where he challenged Americans to look themselves in the mirror, figuratively, at their own constitution that said, you know, all men are created equal.
Will you hold yourself up to those standards of your own government?
People got angry about it.
So this dude basically, as I describe it, watered the tree of liberty that was planted by the founding fathers.
Because it wasn't perfect.
And this guy set us on the right path.
Guess what?
We won because of people like him.
Like our ideas, our freedom, our liberty.
He was another individual who stood up for freedom, individualism, liberty, liberalism, in the true sense, not modern use of the word liberalism.
And that's why I think they got to tear him down.
Because he is a threat to far leftist, communist, socialist, whatever ideology.
These people say they're Marxist.
Right?
Well, you can't have someone like Frederick Douglass who was preaching freedom and literally fighting to free people who had been enslaved.
adam crigler
Exactly.
tim pool
And so they tear him down.
Now, to be fair, we don't know who tore him down.
adam crigler
Well, I'm sure it wasn't.
Honestly, I doubt it was anybody that had anything to do with the Black Lives Matter movement.
Unless it was the Antifa that were, like, jumping in behind them.
tim pool
I hate to say it, man.
adam crigler
Steering them.
tim pool
Black Lives Matter has been totally hijacked.
adam crigler
I mean, I don't know.
I see a lot of things coming out of who the leaders are, and it's not what I would have thought what Black Lives Matter means.
tim pool
So we had, I think it was Minneapolis, and I can't remember the other place, I did a segment on this, and London.
Two high-profile organizers quit, saying straight up, they've hijacked the movement, they're talking about abolishing capitalism, what is this?
That's not what Black Lives Matter was supposed to be.
And honestly, if you look back, because I remember covering these protests, it was specifically about police brutality.
Now they're talking about weird abolishing the police?
Yeah, that's just their in.
They've taken the brand.
You know that there was a guy who started a foundation called Black Lives Matter in California.
He's raised hundreds of thousands of dollars.
He pays himself $24,000 a year.
And he said his goal is to work with the police and do community building events where the people can go have a picnic with cops.
So it brings people together.
adam crigler
That's awesome.
tim pool
So BuzzFeed did an investigation and now a bunch of his fundraising has been suspended so that the real organization... Of course.
The Marxists.
adam crigler
Right.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Yeah, so I actually got into an argument with some people on Facebook.
This happens all the time.
I'm actually starting to enjoy it.
Because, no, no, no, I'll explain why.
It's because I am furthering my own knowledge.
Because they will come at me and I'm like, OK, I'm going to further myself.
I'm going to read what you're giving to me.
I'm going to read.
I'm going to look up my own side of things and see what the deal is.
And then I continue the conversation, which is what I'm trying to have.
They keep trying to have this argument with me.
And they're talking about the bill that was trying to be passed.
tim pool
Which one?
adam crigler
By the Republicans.
tim pool
Oh, the reform bill.
adam crigler
The police reform bill.
tim pool
Yeah, Tim Scott was leading that, wasn't he?
adam crigler
Yeah, and they were all saying, it wasn't enough, we need more, and I'm like, you know what?
Let me dig into this bill.
What's in this bill that wasn't enough?
What is it?
And I'm looking and I actually have pretty much the list.
tim pool
Quick context.
adam crigler
Go ahead.
tim pool
The Black Lives Matter movement says we want to defund the police.
They then say, no, no, no, we don't mean abolish outright, though some do.
We're talking about just, you know, reform.
So the Republicans offered up a reform bill led by Senator Tim Scott.
They rejected it and even dropped in a racial slur, a passive racial slur, which like Tim Scott got really mad about that.
But anyway, that's the context.
So now Adam's arguing with people.
adam crigler
Well, so I read it and I'm like, you know what?
What is it about that they don't think is enough?
I'm just going to read it.
Here's some bullet points basically listing some of the things this bill covers.
Chokeholds are discouraged, disincentivized, increased data collection on the use of force, Increased records retention.
No-knock warrant tracking.
Make lynching a federal crime.
Increasing penalties for false police reports.
Enhanced funding for body cams.
Study on social status of black men and boys.
Funding for training on alternate uses of force, de-escalation, and duty to intervene.
Banning sexual abuse by law enforcement.
An African-American history museum to train law enforcement on the history of racism.
unidentified
Wow.
adam crigler
I wasn't even expecting that last one.
tim pool
That is a heavy cultural concession from Republicans.
adam crigler
But look at that list!
Where do you let people start making a fix if you're not even gonna say, this wasn't enough?
tim pool
Hold on, the Republicans proposed a museum?
adam crigler
That's correct.
tim pool
A black history museum for cultural training?
adam crigler
That is correct.
For police officers.
Wow!
So now, when these people are arguing with me, telling me it wasn't enough, and I go, I read the bill.
How many of you have read the bill?
tim pool
Gone.
adam crigler
This was days ago.
Mic drop.
Guess how many responded to me?
lydia smith
None.
adam crigler
That's correct.
None of them have responded to me since.
But every single thing I posted on this thread of conversation was just... I had like 18 different people just coming at me and I'm like, I'll read it all.
Bring me the information that you're getting, and I'll read it.
And then I'm like, you know what?
Here, boom.
Here's the bill.
What about this do you not like?
What about this did you think wasn't enough?
We gotta start somewhere.
This is a great start as far as I'm concerned.
This is great.
It's informing more police officers about the history that we have in this country.
tim pool
You know that Republican conservative voters all over Twitter were mad about this.
They said Republicans were basically giving in to the left's demands.
But the Democrats reject it.
I'm not even going to repeat the word.
It's not the worst word in the world, but who was it?
Was it Schumer?
No, it wasn't Schumer.
Who said this?
unidentified
Nadler.
Nadler?
lydia smith
I think it was, yeah.
I believe.
tim pool
No, I don't think it was Nadler.
adam crigler
I'm not sure who said it.
I didn't even know that that happened, the slur.
tim pool
It was a slur I'm not gonna repeat.
And it's not the worst.
YouTube would probably allow me to say it.
I'm not gonna.
I'm not gonna.
Because Tim Scott was the one standing up there, and I think he's the only black Republican.
So when he was the one leading the charge on this, they made a comment about his race, passively, and he got...
He got mad about it.
adam crigler
I don't blame him.
I don't blame him at all.
tim pool
Scumbag.
adam crigler
And you know, the more I dig it, the more it is the Democrats that are perpetuating all this.
It's like they don't want that.
They don't want this to pass because that will that's not their first.
Maybe they're not the ones that proposed it.
They're like, well, we can't take the credit for this.
So.
tim pool
I need to fact check this.
adam crigler
It's insane.
tim pool
Maybe you can look this up.
But there was a meme image going around, I think it's Booker T. Washington, where he said that there are certain people who have figured out how to essentially, I'm paraphrasing, monetize the grievances of marginalized people.
lydia smith
That sounds like Sowell, honestly.
tim pool
Thomas Sowell, yeah.
It's supposedly like Booker T. back in the day.
adam crigler
Oh, really?
tim pool
Yeah, being like, these people know that they can use this for pity.
So fact check me on that one.
But yeah, man, look, it's cliche at this point almost to be like, the Democrats are the real racists.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
But if they're asking for police reform and the Republicans immediately said yes, and it includes a Black History Museum, I'm like, whoa.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Wow.
And that wasn't enough.
adam crigler
Wasn't enough.
It's like, OK, well, what do they really want?
Well, I don't I don't get that argument at all, because they could have passed the bill.
And then said, we should also start working on these other things that we, you, you obviously think it's not enough.
So you obviously think there's more that needs to be done.
Okay.
Well, what about this bill?
Did you not like, was not a good start?
tim pool
It was the R next to the names of those who proposed it.
adam crigler
Exactly.
tim pool
Deadlock, man.
adam crigler
You know, I started looking into it more.
It's like the, the crime bill of 1994, this whole controversy of Biden was a part, big part of it.
And it's like the, it was a democratic thing and was just like, You know what?
Let me read into this.
I actually have it pulled up here.
I'm just gonna read.
This blew me away that this was part of this.
The elimination of higher education for inmates.
That's part of the bill.
unidentified
Wow.
adam crigler
You're not allowed to have a higher education now in jail, whereas before you could further yourself, you could finish education and walk out of there as a better civilian, that you're able to find a job because you turned being incarcerated into something better.
I thought that's what it was supposed to be.
We're trying to keep people in there.
tim pool
Rehabilitate.
Yeah, it's like... Not retribution.
adam crigler
Yeah, people like to put you on one bracket, either you're on the left or the right, and it's like, no, no, no.
I am for helping everybody, and this is ridiculous.
And the fact that Biden was like standing by it, and now he's... Man, I can't believe people aren't freaking out more on this, man.
tim pool
For those that don't know, Adam had a rant about how he, as kind of a moderate default liberal, like, these are words I'm...
adam crigler
No, that's fine.
They've been calling me a liberal.
tim pool
But you were just like an urban-dwelling New Yorker, hippie-vegan gamer-skater.
adam crigler
Yeah, basically.
tim pool
And you had this rant about how you were going to vote for Trump, and Facebook deleted it.
adam crigler
Multiple times, from multiple sources.
tim pool
With millions upon millions of views.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's true.
tim pool
And I have no idea why.
I reached out to some of the people, like, what happened?
No one seems to have an answer.
But I look at Project Veritas.
They did an expose where these people at Facebook are like, if I see a guy wearing a MAGA hat, I'm deleting it.
And so sure enough, what happens?
You get this dude, Adam, talking about, I started reading into this stuff and listening to Trump, and all of a sudden I'm like, whoa.
Boom.
Axed.
They can't have you talking about that.
Nope.
But this is the, this is why I'm saying, you know, about, you know, Civil War, whatever you want to call it.
You're, you're one of the most dangerous people to speak up about this.
Maybe.
adam crigler
Bring it on.
tim pool
Regular skateboarding, vegan, Brooklynite, you know, whatever dude, all of a sudden being like, whoa, I listened to what Trump had to say and the media was lying about it.
And then what?
adam crigler
Uh-oh, uh-oh, people are going to listen!
I'm not allowed to have a voice.
I'm not allowed to talk about the issues today because I'm not black.
That's ridiculous.
You can't blame white people on the issues that you claim are happening and not have them be a part of the conversation.
That doesn't make any sense to me.
Terry Crews!
For Terry Crews!
You are amazing.
He speaks the truth.
We have to do this together.
We got to work together.
I see the issues that the Democrats, not only the Democrats, like I don't want to just keep saying Democrats because there's a lot of people in charge that are making choices for their own means and not for the general well-being of everybody.
tim pool
This is the challenge, man.
I hate to say it, because I've tried doing it.
I get it.
There are Democrats who are trying to do the right thing, and it's true, but the whole system is rotten.
adam crigler
It's just rotten.
tim pool
I agree.
I can't tell you, man.
What does Nancy Pelosi do?
What does Dick Durbin say?
They just keep playing the same game.
They don't care about actually solving these problems.
They make them worse.
And it's like they just care for their personal power.
adam crigler
And all those people that you just named, all these people that have been in government for 30, 40, 50, 50 years!
50 years, that's insane!
50 years?
Think about what 50 years ago was.
tim pool
The lights movement?
adam crigler
Exactly.
There was one TV that everyone got their information from.
They were like, this is what the people need to think.
And you can kind of get the vibe that they're like losing their grasp on that.
We're all connected because of the internet.
Like, look at us right now.
45,000 people sitting here with us.
Thank you for joining us.
But mind you, um, it's amazing.
And, and you know what?
It's like, because people want to know they want to have a conversation.
They want to figure it out.
tim pool
That's why we're going to get banned.
adam crigler
Most people are not racist.
Most people are in this, in this era of we, we are, listen, it's your character.
It's your heart.
It's the weight of the heart that matters the most.
tim pool
This is why I said in the beginning of the segment civil war, the tearing down of Frederick Douglass to me was like, look, When they tore down the Confederates, I went, well, hold on there a minute, you know, it's like, you shouldn't be doing this, hey, let's have a vote about these things, have a democratic process.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
I don't like the Confederates at all.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
Then they went for Thomas Jefferson, and I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on.
Then they went for Washington and Grant, and I was like, yo, yo, yo.
Then they went for Frederick Douglass, and I wanted to swing a fist.
I'm like, yo, dude.
adam crigler
They have no idea.
They have no idea what he did, the things he had to go through to become who he became.
And to say what he was saying.
That was oppression.
He fought oppression.
tim pool
Hans Christian Hege, I think the name was, he was a Union soldier, colonel, I think, and he died fighting for the Union side, and they desecrated and destroyed his statue and threw it in the river, and I got mad about that.
And that's when I'm like, these people clearly don't care, but I tell you what, man, the mask is off.
With Frederick Douglass.
Hands down, this dude was like, he's supposed to embody what they claim to be fighting for.
They show pictures of Harriet Tubman.
Nah, they're lying, man.
They want to tear down the people who fought for freedom, liberty, individualism, who upheld the words laid down by the founding fathers, and challenge us to hold ourselves to a better standard.
They're trying to destroy it.
Absolutely.
When Donald Trump comes out and says there is a leftist cultural revolution that seeks
to erase our history and the media lies and says Trump is heralding Confederates, I'm
like at a certain point it is not an accident.
So I can still say a lot of these people are really dumb.
But when you have people in media, the question is when they claim to have watched the video,
they're either lying to us, which is malicious, or they're lying about watching the video,
or they're lying about what the video was.
adam crigler
Both are malicious.
tim pool
Both are malicious.
adam crigler
They're simply malicious now.
tim pool
They're manipulators.
Absolutely.
Look, the best I can say about what's happening is that we have literal media grifters who are thinking, this will give me clicks.
Like the woman with the gun at the Chipotle.
adam crigler
Yep.
You're right.
tim pool
All of the false framing of what really happened in that situation to make us think we got a Karen on our hands.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
I think there are far leftist organizations.
I know some of them.
I've talked to them.
They've explained this stuff to me.
They exist.
If you want to know their names and find out who these people are, follow Andy Ngo on Twitter.
Andy Ngo.
He covers this better than I do.
And he'll show you their names.
He'll explain who they are and what they do.
They just found some guy in Portland, because they've been riding for 40 days or whatever now, had pipe bombs.
adam crigler
Yeah, I saw that.
tim pool
Explosive materials.
adam crigler
Andy Ngo is the, you know the meme, where you got the huge, the big jacked dog, and they're like journalists back in the 40s.
They'll handle anything, and then journalists now, it's like...
Oh, I've got a boo-boo, and this is why transgender rights are real.
Andy Ngo is a classic, I'm gonna go and get the truth, and I don't care what happens to me.
And he's been beat up.
tim pool
Dude is a boss.
There was an incident where he was walking with some right-wing groups, and so they snipped these out of context to prove he was hanging out with them.
Why?
Because Andy Ngo actually covers who these people are.
He drops their names, their police reports, explains what they're doing, what they believe, why they're doing it, and they have to stop him.
They brutally beat him in the street because of it, and he's still doing this.
adam crigler
Yep.
What a boss.
tim pool
So you're right.
There's that meme of the two dogs.
What are they?
Are they Shibas?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
And one super ripped.
adam crigler
Shiva Chad.
tim pool
Yeah, and there's a little scrawny one and it says, Journalists in the 30s, I'm gonna get this story,
the mafia might kill me, but I'm gonna get this story anyway.
And it's all ripped, and then today it's like, someone called me a mean word on the internet.
adam crigler
I need a month off.
tim pool
And so you actually have Andy Ngo saying, these people brutally beat me in the streets,
unidentified
He does not stop.
tim pool
And then you have other journalists today who are like, someone called me a mean word on the internet.
And that's, we have very few people who are actually willing to take the risks to challenge these extremist groups.
But that's why I think what he does is important.
And not just him, there's other people, but he's probably the highest profile, especially, I think he lives in the Pacific Northwest.
But people don't realize one of the, it's the insidious nature of what the far left is doing.
Trying to make sure that their attacks are blunted so they don't generate too much attention.
It's almost like, you ever play a stealth video game where you have like a stealth meter?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And if they see you too much the meter grows and then finally once it reaches they see you?
Antifa's tactic is that.
They're lurking around and they have to make sure that meter doesn't fill all the way up.
It goes back down, okay?
So they'll beat someone up in the street.
The meter goes up and they stop, lay low, then it goes back down.
They'll beat up Bandino, the meter goes, oh no, everyone sees. Then they wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait. Okay, okay, okay, now we can go again. It's a sustained death. It's a sustained attack,
adam crigler
death by a thousand cuts. Well, the problem is, is that they have the whole Black Lives Matter
movement to hide behind right now. So it's like, they don't have to worry about that as much
anymore because people are now blaming the Black Lives Matter movement, you know what I mean?
And I'm not saying that they are not without their own faults.
Nobody is.
But they have that shield.
They're using it.
They're like, oh, everyone's just... And people are now blaming the Black Lives Matter.
And it's just becoming this big mess of like, well, who's who and who's doing what?
tim pool
And actual Black Lives Matter activists are quitting.
And that's something I bring up a lot.
If you watch Dave Chappelle's 846 special, he doesn't talk about taxing Amazon, or Marx, or universal healthcare.
He talks about people who got killed by cops.
And it's like, I hear you, man.
That's awful.
That's a violation of the Fifth Amendment rights, along with a whole bunch of other civil liberties.
So I'm down to fight for anybody who was unjustly killed.
Where do you get that disconnect?
It's because the far left found a way in.
Using the brand of Black Lives Matter, they have made themselves invincible.
Think about it.
How many people lose their jobs when they say, I don't agree with this?
Actually a lot.
Then the media, that's what I'm talking about, these media lies.
There's a viral tweet going around from this journalist guy saying, cancel culture isn't real.
It's basically people using their voices to hold others accountable for being bigots.
There was a viral story of a nurse.
She made a Facebook video talking about the looting and the violence, saying, I don't support this and I don't support what these people stand for.
She gets fired because of it.
adam crigler
It's ridiculous.
tim pool
We hear this at schools.
We hear about people getting expelled.
Cancel culture is very real.
The problem is, like I said, It's insidious.
It's a blunted attack, a death by a thousand cuts, where they go after people who don't have a strong enough voice to fight back.
So all of, you know, when we talk about bias on social media against moderates and conservatives, mostly conservatives, what people, the left tries to play the same game of, look at all these high-profile conservatives, you know, people like Ben Shapiro who are doing so well and their voices are so loud.
Oh, it's clearly not true.
And then what happens is, Twitter will ban thousands of regular Trump supporters who will never have a chance to speak up.
I've been to events, and I can't tell you how many times people have talked to me or sent me messages where they're like, I had 200 followers and I just made some posts about supporting Trump, and then I got banned, I don't know why.
And no one knows because they're not high profile.
So they can basically trim all of these people off of Twitter and force the conversation in a different direction.
This keeps happening.
And what do we get?
I gotta be honest.
Hey, it's great that the Republicans offered up that reform, but is the best they can do when statues are being torn down is just agree and say, okay, okay, we'll give you what you want?
So what do we have?
We have Democrats who are seemingly ignoring all the violence, refuse to condemn anti-fund the far left.
In fact, Jerry Nadler says, they're imaginary.
They don't exist.
So yeah, every single police report that Andy Ngo has posted is just magic.
He just drew a picture.
It's not real.
And then the Republicans, very few of them are actually standing up.
So I'm not particularly confident.
But let's do this.
Now that we got most people here, let's talk right now about what's going on in Atlanta.
Because the governor, Kemp, has declared a state of emergency, and they're going to be deploying 1,000 National Guard troops.
The media is refusing.
I'm sorry, this is just the way I see it.
The media is refusing to address what's really happening in Atlanta.
At the Wendy's where Rayshard Brooks died, there is a sustained and ongoing Black Lives Matter presence.
A little girl was killed.
adam crigler
Eight years old.
tim pool
Eight years old, when these armed groups guarding a parking lot across the street from the Wendy's opened fire on, I believe it was an SUV, shooting this little girl.
The father gave a speech where he said, you say Black Lives Matter, but you killed your own, you killed a little girl.
Why is the media saying, Black Lives Matter activists, protesters, whatever word they want to use, kill little girl?
Why is every story like, senseless violence, little girl shot?
Yet, I guarantee you, if you had one guy out there wearing a Trump hat, they would have been like, far-right extremists, extremists, execute child.
adam crigler
I mean, this has been going on.
It happened in CHOP, CHAS, CHAS, whatever you want to call it.
A bunch of people were killed, and it's like, the dad of one of the guys that got killed out there was like, what is going on?
The mayor's not calling me, but Trump called me.
The president of the United States called me to say that it's a terrible thing that happened to you.
And I'm just like, how is the mayor not?
Because the mayor knows that kid's blood is on the mayor's hands.
And the governor, both of them.
tim pool
Let me show this real quick, just so I can make sure y'all have the context.
This is from NPR.
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is activating up to 1,000 National Guard troops after a spate of shootings and protests in Atlanta over the weekend.
Five people died, including an 8-year-old girl, and at least 30 people were injured.
The Republican governor issued an executive order Monday that would send the National Guard to protect the state capitol, the governor's mansion, and the Department of Public Safety headquarters, where close to 100 demonstrators set fire to part of the building early Sunday morning.
Amazing.
Now, this is a Republican governor.
He could have done something sooner.
I suppose he waited until the last minute, which is not good because now a little girl has died.
But you take a look at the mayor of Atlanta, you take a look at the mayor of Seattle, and what do we have?
A lot of people... See, the media is not giving the same attention to Atlanta in this Wendy's, but it was occupied very similarly to what we saw in the Chazz.
They didn't make a public declaration, though.
But there have been armed groups, mind you, sidestep, you can legally bear arms in this country and walk around in guard places, but at a certain point, when people keep getting shot, the police need to do something.
What do they do?
The mayor, the DA attacked the police.
After the Rayshard Brooks killing, putting this cop facing, charging him with felony murder because a guy stole his weapon, knocked his friend down, his partner down, ran and then turned and fired the weapon at him.
That cop for defending himself is facing felony murder.
adam crigler
That's crazy.
tim pool
Now the police are demoralized.
Far-left groups and Black Lives Matter groups are occupying the area to varying degrees.
Multiple people have been shot.
Two days ago, a little girl gets shot.
The next day, three people get shot.
A 53-year-old man is killed.
And now, now they're like, maybe we should come in and do something about this.
And I bring this back to what you were saying about Seattle.
The mayor said, we maybe have a summer of love.
It's like a festival.
And then, when a 16-year-old and a 14-year-old, and they're both young black men, are driving in an SUV, according to multiple reports, they were joyriding.
They'd stolen a vehicle.
One witness said she was on the phone with them and she told them to go to the Chazz for safety.
And then the security, for some reason, unloaded.
One witness reportedly said, 300-plus rounds and 10 minutes of sustained fire on this vehicle.
And in the livestream of what happened, you can only hear.
They walk up to the vehicle and you hear a guy say, Oh, you're still alive.
And then something about pistol whipping him.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Some people are trying to have argued that he then executed the 16 year old finishing them off.
I don't know if that's true.
What I do know is the mayor still did nothing.
adam crigler
You do hear a shot.
I watched that video.
tim pool
And you hear the shot?
adam crigler
You can hear a shot fired after he says, oh, you're still alive?
What if I pistol whip you?
And then you hear a shot.
tim pool
Bang.
adam crigler
And it's just like, what are you shooting at?
tim pool
And you know what the one thing that made the mayor react was?
adam crigler
When they showed up at her house.
tim pool
Yep.
And so did she call the father of the 19-year-old who died?
adam crigler
Nope.
Definitely not.
tim pool
Trump did?
adam crigler
Absolutely not.
Yep, he did.
tim pool
Probs.
So this is the uphill battle, man.
That we have this level of violence now over a month.
The media covers it less and less because people are desensitized to it.
It doesn't generate the same traffic or interest, but it's not stopped.
So when I first saw the story about the eight-year-old girl who was killed, I couldn't find anything about exactly what happened.
And the police, the official reporting said that it was near the site of these protests and that they had exited the highway at University Avenue and were trying to pull into a parking lot at the 1200 block of Pryor Boulevard or whatever.
And I'm like, OK, so the reason they're saying this is because it must not have anything to do with Black Lives Matter.
And then, sure enough, the official release comes out.
It was the parking lot across the street from Wendy's, and it was the armed group of people occupying the area who unloaded on this vehicle, killing this little girl.
And I'm like, why wouldn't the journalists say that?
Even right now, why doesn't the headline say, armed Black Lives Matter group kills little girl?
adam crigler
Because they only want to push the narrative that is what they want to push.
Their narrative.
They don't want people knowing that Black Lives Matter groups are killing black people.
tim pool
So this is a serious problem we have right now.
adam crigler
Agreed.
tim pool
If one guy comes out, and do you remember that guy in, I don't know if you remember the story in Portland, he was a crazy, you know, he wasn't left, he wasn't right, he was just nuts, and he slashed three people.
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
I don't remember that.
Oh, wow.
and train system.
unidentified
Okay.
adam crigler
OK.
tim pool
I don't remember his name.
adam crigler
I don't remember that.
tim pool
But he recently got sentenced to life in prison over the attack
because it killed two of the guys, I think.
adam crigler
Oh, wow.
tim pool
Yeah, he was he was reported that he was yelling at women with hijab
weren't wearing hijab.
adam crigler
OK.
tim pool
And then three guys intervened and he slashed them.
They were like cornering him.
The media reported that it was a right wing extremist.
adam crigler
OK.
tim pool
You actually look at his profile and the guy made no sense.
He was like previously a Bernie supporter.
He was a Balkanist.
He wanted America broken up into different countries like.
You could argue some things about him were right, some were left, but ultimately he was a crazy guy.
And what does the media say?
Far-right.
adam crigler
Of course.
tim pool
You get a bunch of conservatives who join Parler, it's like a different social network, and they say, far-right extremists, Nazis, and stuff like that.
It's so easy.
Oh, no, no, no, here's my favorite.
The Boogaloo Boys.
During all the unrest, beginning of last month, Some dude in a white van opens up the side panel door, shoots two cops with a rifle, killing one of them.
When they go to catch him, he kills another cop.
He writes about killing cops.
He writes boog and blood.
And then they say, right wing.
And I'm like, hold on.
During the unrest, okay, for George Floyd, a guy who says kill cops, like Antifa, actually does it.
Now he's right wing.
Now he's right wing.
That's insane.
So here's the thing.
They can't call these Black Lives Matter people at the Wendy's right wing.
adam crigler
That's true.
unidentified
Good point.
tim pool
So they just say, senseless violence.
Armed group on the 1200 block.
Instead of saying, at the site of the ongoing Black Lives Matter protests, armed Black Lives Matter individuals shot and killed a little girl as well as several other people.
Five people died over the last night.
And they threw a firebomb through the window of a police department.
They don't say it.
adam crigler
Or the violence that's happening in New York or Chicago.
tim pool
Oh, the crime is just through the roof.
adam crigler
It's crazy.
Minnesota, all these places, they're just, the crime is skyrocketing.
tim pool
And you know what's really funny?
adam crigler
People are being executed in broad daylight, walking their daughter.
Man, did you see that video?
I did, I did.
That makes me tear up a little bit, just, you know, just thinking about, like, that little girl was walking with her dad.
She runs away.
tim pool
And you know what really made me mad?
adam crigler
That upsets me a lot, man.
That's sad.
tim pool
Let me explain this to everybody who hasn't seen it.
adam crigler
I feel really bad for that little girl.
tim pool
There's a viral video right now.
I think they're offering a reward.
They're trying to track this guy down.
In New York City, there's a video of this.
It's a man with his four-year-old daughter.
She's four, right?
adam crigler
I'm not sure how old she was.
tim pool
And they're about to, they're walking across the street and he stops with her and he looks forward and a car pulls up
on the left side.
He starts walking across the street and they stop and they start looking at something and all of a sudden a gun points
out of the vehicle, pop.
And the dad falls down onto his back and you see him shaking and then everyone screams, the little girl runs
unidentified
away.
tim pool
That's what's happening in New York right now.
And this kind of stuff has been happening in Chicago non-stop for decades.
Elon Musk.
adam crigler
Long time.
tim pool
You see Elon Musk tweet about this?
adam crigler
Oh, what did he say?
No, I missed it.
tim pool
I just, you know, it makes me hope that people are starting to wake up to the problems that we're having.
adam crigler
I hope so.
tim pool
And I do, especially in Chicago, blame Democrats for this.
You want to talk about the national level Democrats, we can have that conversation.
But I grew up in Chicago.
Adam's from Chicago.
This place has been just super majority Democrat forever.
And the gun violence has only gotten worse.
Elon Musk tweeted in response to someone saying, like, the bloodiest night in Chicago, you know, over the past, like, decade or something.
And he says, this shows something like the moral bankruptcy of the far left.
There's no outrage over this.
adam crigler
Yep, absolutely.
tim pool
And you know what bothers me?
When I see the high-level polarizing conversation around what's going on in Chicago, you do get people on the right saying, no one cares about this.
Black Lives Matter doesn't care about it.
If Black Lives Matter, why wouldn't you talk about Chicago?
And then the high-profile left just doesn't talk about it.
The reality is, in Chicago, they do.
And they're constantly doing it.
But you know what the issue is?
The high-profile political individuals Oh.
that this will not play well enough for them to win power.
So you have activists in Chicago, I have interviewed them, who are fighting, marching, and saying
stop the violence in our communities.
And what does the high profile left and the high profile Black Lives Matter do?
adam crigler
Ignore it.
tim pool
Taxes, universal healthcare, Green New Deal, whatever this Marxist stuff is.
adam crigler
We'll get rid of Aunt Jemima.
tim pool
Now, I'm not going to blame them for that.
adam crigler
I'm just making a... But it's true.
It's not even funny.
They're putting a little tiny band-aid.
Like, here you go, here's a band-aid for your wounds.
tim pool
I don't even know if a band-aid is the right word for it.
A slap in the face.
adam crigler
Yeah, you're right.
It's a slap in the face, yes.
tim pool
But we've talked about this.
They're not getting rid of white mascots.
They're removing diversity from our brands.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
They're not interested in actually fighting what they claim they're fighting for.
Hence, I throw it back to Frederick Douglass.
That one really makes me angry.
adam crigler
Exactly.
They're not fighting for equality.
tim pool
No, man.
lydia smith
I found the quote.
adam crigler
That's not what it means.
tim pool
You found the quote?
lydia smith
Yeah, I did.
tim pool
Was it Booker T?
lydia smith
It was Booker T. Washington.
unidentified
Yes!
lydia smith
Do you want me to read it?
tim pool
Yes!
adam crigler
Of course.
lydia smith
Okay, so it says, There's a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the race before the public.
Having learned that they're able to make a living out of their troubles, they've grown into a settled habit of advertising their wrongs, partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays.
Some of these people do not want the black man to lose his grievances because they do not want to lose their job.
tim pool
And he's using colorful language from the past.
lydia smith
Literally colorful language.
tim pool
So what can you look up?
What year was Booker?
lydia smith
1911.
That was 1911.
tim pool
How amazing.
unidentified
1911.
tim pool
Yep.
And I wonder who he was referring to.
I really do genuinely wonder.
But I've got to say, you know, we're at a point now, you know, I don't know if you saw this, Joe Biden said that if, when we beat Donald Trump, we won't just rebuild this country, we will transform it.
adam crigler
Yeah, what does that mean?
tim pool
I don't know.
adam crigler
What are you trying to say, Biden?
tim pool
Yeah.
I'm not excited by that, to be honest.
adam crigler
No, because of all the political people that I've seen, like, he's very racist.
And he has a very racist... Many things that he has said, I'm just like, I'm very political now.
I'm, you know, I'm not going back.
And Biden, I'm looking into you and your sleazebag.
Yeah, seriously.
He's so racist.
And then people are calling me racist just because I'm voting for Trump.
And it's like, do you know what Trump has done for minorities?
He's done a lot.
He has.
He's done a lot.
There's plenty of... Man, just starting to look into it, it was just like, whoa!
We could sit here all night talking about that.
But it's besides the point, what we're talking about.
tim pool
It's crazy, man.
adam crigler
They're spinning it.
tim pool
Joe Biden says he wants to transform this country.
And the reason that's worrisome to me is not because I think Joe Biden himself is a far leftist, but that he's ceded ground in a desperate attempt to beat Trump.
So I have to wonder if these people are willing to go as far as to tear down Frederick Douglass.
I'm going to say it a million times because that dude was, that's so far over the line.
Like we're not, I don't even know the line went.
They dragged us so far to the left.
So Joe Biden, the Democrats have become so desperate to defeat Donald Trump.
And here's the way I describe it.
I know it's, I'm going to give you the silly bit.
It's the one ring from Lord of the Rings.
They think they could wield the power.
They cannot.
adam crigler
Nope.
tim pool
And so what happens?
Joe Biden is going to bring the ring raids upon us.
He is going to be like, it is a gift to the Democrats.
We will use it to defeat our enemies.
Then Antifa goes and destroys everything.
And what happens?
He gives them ground.
And then what?
Now you've got people advocating for tearing down Thomas Jefferson.
And you've put me in a position, ever increasingly, where I'm like, what's my compromise?
With conservatives who I have marginal disagreements with?
Or with the far left who wants to burn it all to the ground?
And literally, they bring guillotines To people's homes in effigy.
adam crigler
Who's that, Jeff Bezos?
They put it in front of his house?
tim pool
Yeah, but they've gone to people's houses.
They went back to the home of that St.
Louis couple.
adam crigler
I saw that.
They're still there.
They've had to board up their house and hire guards.
tim pool
I'm glad they hired guards.
adam crigler
Me too.
tim pool
But they will come to your house.
The mayor of Seattle learned that lesson the hard way.
She thought she could wield the power.
She thought she could.
And what happened?
They went to her house, and she pulled that ring off and threw it as far as she could.
She came in and she crushed them, but it was too late.
adam crigler
She tossed it over to New York.
unidentified
De Blasio's like, yes!
tim pool
But I also wonder if it's actually just too late for them.
Like, what really happened was...
They tried using the One Ring, you know, the far left, as their advantage, and now they are being overrun by the evil, by the extremism.
They can't stop it.
adam crigler
Yep, they're being changed.
tim pool
Yeah.
Well, it's taking over now that they've opened the door, begging for help.
We must defeat Trump by any means necessary.
And they say, We'll help you.
And now they're taking over and the Democrats are panicked and Joe Biden is the person saying, just let me be president and I'll give you half.
How does that sound?
Listen, fat, look fat.
I'll give you half.
I don't, I don't, I don't want to know what that's going to look like.
That worries me.
So there are a lot of people who are talking about all these different opportunities like for 2020 and ways to, to defeat this.
Some people are trying to, what is it?
I can't remember who this was.
He was like, if you want to stop the far left from taking over, then you should, you'd want to vote for Joe Biden.
It's like Joe Biden opened the door.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And Trump, I don't think is doing enough.
adam crigler
He's the mask that the far left are wearing, you know?
They're like a monster behind a mask of Joe Biden's face.
tim pool
You ever see, uh, what was it, Spirited Away?
adam crigler
Yes.
tim pool
The giant black mask with the white, you know, mask.
adam crigler
That is exactly what I'm thinking, yes.
Very, very close.
tim pool
You see the Joe Biden and then you pull the mask away and it's this gigantic demon going,
adam crigler
and you're like, ah, yeah.
tim pool
So man, now, now, like, like I've been saying this for a while that if you.
You can actually look at the New York Times data.
I love showing this graph where it shows the left going like this.
And the Republicans are like kind of a squiggly line, leaning slightly to the left.
If I'm kind of where Obama was in 2008, in terms of policy ideas, that's fairly in the middle compared to where most Americans probably are.
We don't change that much.
If I'm standing here and I look to my right, what do I see?
I see Trump and a bunch of Trump supporters waving little American flags, and I'm like, I'm familiar with what that is.
I've lived with these people.
I've gone to church with these people as a kid.
I'm no longer religious, but they're part of my community.
I know them.
Man, do they sometimes get on my nerves.
I look to my left, I don't see anything.
So I climb up on a ladder, I take my binoculars out, and there, all the way off in the distance, are a bunch of people burning things to the ground and screaming.
adam crigler
I'm surprised you can actually see them still.
Seriously.
tim pool
Right.
You gotta go way up.
At the top of the Sears Tower.
The analogy comes to this.
If I had to make a compromise, I can take a few steps to the right as a moderate liberal, you know, growing up, and say, listen, I'm going to give ground on these issues if you help me stop these crazy people who are coming to burn everything to the ground.
Or you can go to Biden, who says, walk a couple hundred miles with me to meet these other people and see what they're all about.
adam crigler
And I'm like, Can you walk that far, Biden?
tim pool
Well, it's an analogy.
He'll put him in his little electric scooter, his rascal.
adam crigler
Zip on over.
tim pool
But if they're tearing down statues of our heroes, and their allies and media are lying to smear Trump,
that says something really, that's even more worrying when Biden comes out and says he wants to transform this
country, because we know they're lying to us.
adam crigler
Absolutely.
tim pool
Trump's not the most honest person in the world, but he's honest in weird ways.
adam crigler
Yep, that's true.
tim pool
The Intercept wrote about this, and they hate Trump.
They said he's the most honest president in American history.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Because he blurts out, he's like, he says the quiet part loud and loud part quiet.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
There are a lot of dumb things Trump has lied about.
I've done a ton of videos on this.
I know people are always like, what, what?
It's like stupid things, like personal things.
It's like...
You know, I can't think of anything off the top of my head, so I'm gonna be put on the spot for that.
adam crigler
Well, so obviously it's not newsworthy.
If you can't even remember it, and you are inundated with news, and you should know.
Of all the people in this room, you would know.
And the fact that you're coming at a loss to it, it's like, well...
Was it that big of a deal?
tim pool
Sure.
Everybody has lied in their life.
All the administrations have lied.
The specific thing that I always try to go to Everybody has lied in their life.
and tip my tongue is like, it was some really weird thing he lied about that was like a personal issue that was like,
why would he lie about that?
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
You know? And then there's like something right now where they said, why did Kristi Noem fly on Air Force One?
And Kayleigh McEnany said, ask the Secret Service, but the Secret Service doesn't actually have anything to do with it.
There's things like that.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
I ultimately don't really care about.
It's like a gotcha, like, ooh, she had COVID, like, why was she flying on the plane?
But Trump, in the most famous moment, was walking up to the White House, and there was the helicopter noise, and then they were like, Trump, what's going on with this deal with Saudi Arabia?
And he goes, it's gonna be really great, they're gonna give us so much money, great for the economy, we're selling lots of weapons, our weapons manufacturers love it, and we want this deal.
And then all of the anti-war progressives, their jaws just hit the floor like... Did you just say what I think you said?
Did you just admit that the US economy is bolstered by these war manufacturers sending weapons to the Middle East?
Trump didn't care.
He's like, yep.
And he said it.
He was like, you know, we got to make sure we get this deal.
Otherwise, you know, Russia or China will get it and they're going to get, it's going to be great for their economies, but we want this deal.
adam crigler
Yeah, that annoys me, the amount of people that love to make fun of him for this kind of stuff.
But they're sitting on their phones, they're sitting on their computers, they're sitting enjoying the fruits of the factories that don't have any environmental regulations at all on the other side of the planet, destroying the planet that they're fighting for on their phones.
They're like, oh, I can go on my phone and complain about the environment when they're on the phone, built on the other side of the planet.
Oh man, that drives me nuts.
Every time that comes up.
tim pool
There's that comic I often reference, because whenever you bring this up, they're like, I can, you know, it's a peasant saying we should improve society.
adam crigler
Right, right.
tim pool
And then a guy pops out of the well saying, yet you live in society.
This is them justifying the fact.
Here's what they really think.
I should be allowed to have a cell phone, but you should not.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
That's what they're saying.
adam crigler
Boom.
tim pool
Listen, I'm going to complain about horrifying authoritarianism and child slave labor.
Now, I understand all the things.
I own our maid by that, but I'm more effective this way.
It's you who shouldn't have it.
This is the mistake made by all of these people.
It is the false promise used over and over again throughout history.
It is the 72 virgins in heaven.
It is that when we enact socialism, you're going to have everything.
That health care you always wanted?
Yup, you'll get that.
You'll finally have a voice.
You see that man over there with that golden toilet in his massive skyscraper in New York?
You should have that too.
adam crigler
For no work at all!
You don't have to work at all.
That's what they want. They don't want to have to work at all.
tim pool
And isn't it funny that these people who are protesting, I mean it's a shame, but right now they have no jobs.
And they're protesting to fight for re- look, this is, it's very very simple.
It has nothing to do with the individual to a certain degree.
If people do not have, they will demand, because humans will fight to survive.
This is why some people theorize revolutions occurred in the Middle East during the Arab Spring, because of a lack of food.
They don't care how they get it, they're going to demand it, and it doesn't matter if it makes sense.
So when you have a bunch of people who have lost their jobs, they're gonna go out and protest for things like Marxism or Communism or whatever, because they're literally like, I don't got food, I don't know how to get food, if this is the only thing I can do, I'm gonna go do it.
Not realizing, if you go out and demand stuff for nothing from someone else, You're just stealing.
You're just asking the state to steal for you.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
Now, look, I get it.
All of a sudden every libertarian is popping up saying, did Tim just admit taxation is theft?
To a certain extent, sure.
But there's a difference between everyone pitching in to some kind of, you know, community fund.
adam crigler
Yeah, to fix the roads, to run the electricity, everything.
There's a lot that the taxes go into.
tim pool
Unfortunately, war.
But if you don't like that system, that's a conversation.
Exactly.
adam crigler
Have a conversation.
Get a job in government and start striving towards making the changes that you think should happen.
tim pool
A discussion about whether or not we should all have to pitch in to support roads and infrastructure and security is one thing.
To have a large group of people demanding that they produce nothing and deserve everything is something entirely different.
adam crigler
Agreed.
Completely.
tim pool
They've found a way in, and it's Black Lives Matter.
They're using that name because they know you can't criticize them.
Look at men.
Have you seen the race, was it F1 I think, the race car drivers?
Half of them kneeled and half of them stood, but they all wore the same shirt.
Or there was that soccer player woman who refused to kneel and everyone's cheering for her, but she still wore the shirt.
The companies have straight up said, they will cut you off.
Unless you're in line with what we say.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
The intersectionalism is the new religion and you must bow or else.
That's why I'm pretty sure we're gonna get banned at some point.
I'm not even kidding.
Smash that like button.
I can't imagine we make it to November, I don't know.
adam crigler
Yeah, we will.
tim pool
To be fair, they did re-monetize people like Count Dankula.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You know, so he got his channel back.
That's good news.
Many commentators got their channels back, so that's good news.
adam crigler
And we're having a conversation.
We're not making declarations.
The fact that having a conversation is dangerous is so telling that people need to be having these conversations.
That's why these people are here with us right now because they want to have this conversation.
People want this.
They want to show.
That's why people get so mad at Black Lives Matter.
The phrase, of course it does, of course your lives matter.
No, they're trying to convince the general public that there's people out there that don't feel that way.
When people respond with, no, all lives matter, they're saying, no one believes that because we believe all lives do matter.
tim pool
The idea is that all lives matter encompasses Black Lives Matter.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
There is an issue, I take with it, in that people respond with, all lives matter.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
If someone yells, black lives matter, I'd say, hear, hear.
unidentified
Yes.
adam crigler
Yes, exactly.
I completely agree.
tim pool
You're right.
adam crigler
Right, stop trying to prove them wrong, because black lives do matter.
Yeah, it's a discourse.
Yeah, you're right.
You're absolutely right.
They absolutely matter.
No doubt.
No questions.
tim pool
This is the way I put it.
The big problem right now is the far left manipulating.
And so you end up with these people who are saying things like Black Lives Matter, but then using that as a Trojan horse to bring in communism and other weird socialists.
adam crigler
Down with the patriarchy is one of the top lists on the Black Lives Matter movement.
tim pool
Breaking apart the family.
adam crigler
Why?
Breaking apart the family?
What?
Yep.
tim pool
It's the great equalizer.
adam crigler
That's ridiculous.
tim pool
There's a creepy commercial.
adam crigler
There's a direct correlation with not having a father figure and a mother figure and crimes going up.
It's actually just two parents.
Just, excuse me, okay.
Two parents.
tim pool
We need more research on it.
unidentified
Sure.
tim pool
That I was actually reading because this is a big conversation having to do with LGBT rights.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And the, I can't remember exactly which one it is, but it was one of the intellectual dark web, high profile, anti-intersectionalist people who said, the current data we have shows that you need two parents.
A single parent household is what results in, you know, like higher crime rates and stuff like this.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Fatherlessness does play a specific role, but they ultimately said we need to do more research on whether or not it's specifically male-female or just two parents, but so far the data we have is two parents.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
I'm not pretending to be, you know, the scientist who has all the answers.
adam crigler
Well, and I'm certainly not, you know, I just, every day I further myself a little more than the day before, and I really try to understand More and more and especially now I'm seeing that that you know the the classic nuclear family that like people talk about it's like that that's needed we need that we need to cherish that because that that breeds more community you know people are they grow up with with a
I don't know, a sense of worth.
They actually can see how to be, you know?
And that's what they strive to be.
tim pool
It's hard to know, to be honest.
You know, when I look at a lot of the data pertaining to families, it's hard to know for sure.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But my question is, why is breaking apart the traditional family structure a goal of Black Lives Matter?
adam crigler
Why?
tim pool
It makes no sense.
adam crigler
It doesn't make any sense at all.
It doesn't make any sense.
tim pool
It's the Trojan horse they found the way in.
adam crigler
Yep, absolutely.
tim pool
So here's the way I see it.
You know, my response, and I think the appropriate response, is if someone, I was talking to a friend of mine, we were arguing about a lot of politics, and I was asked, you know, so actually, Eric Swalwell, he's the guy who farted on MSNBC, yeah, cheat at election, he said in Congress, is there any Republican who can unequivocally say black lives matter?
And then no one speaks up.
And I think it was Matt Gaetz who says, he said something like, yes they do and all lives matter or something like that.
And he's like, no, just say black lives matter.
My response is absolutely.
If someone came to me and said, so I was talking to my friend and they said, would you agree that black lives matter?
I said, 100% absolutely.
I will hold that sign right along with you.
And I would also then say to the people with the all lives matter signs, I'd shake their hand too and say, hey, You know, how about, you know, you guys who are concerned about, you know, Tony Timpa, I think his name was, right?
Yeah.
I feel your pain.
You're completely right.
The people mad about Brenna Taylor, you are also right.
Hey, guess what?
You're both right.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
What if we work together?
adam crigler
Boom.
tim pool
Justice for all of these people.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
And then it doesn't need to be about your slogan separating us based on tribe.
We can actually come together.
And you know what?
Maybe, maybe I say this.
If you think that Breonna Taylor or George Floyd is more deserving of attention than, say, Tony Timpah, I'm not going to argue.
I'm going to say, all right, I will fight with you for justice for George Floyd.
I would do it unconditionally, to be honest, but I ask you a favor.
Afterwards, can we talk about Tony Timpah?
And guess what people are going to say?
Yeah.
adam crigler
Of course.
tim pool
So, you know, the way I see it is there is real compromise between, say, actual Black Lives Matter activists, not the Trojan Horse far leftists who have hijacked the movement.
Yes, which is what many of the high profile Black Lives Matter people have said.
If someone comes to me and says, police brutality is affecting my community.
I'm like, let me know what you need me to do, man.
Let me know.
Because I'm not down with people having their civil rights violated.
adam crigler
Agreed.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
That includes tearing down a community statue because it's violating the rights of the people who live there.
That includes someone losing their life at the hands of cops and the cops not being held accountable.
unidentified
Yep.
Yep.
tim pool
So you end up with these, you know, conflicting slogans that don't need to be conflicting at all.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
You know, it's like, can you hold a sign with both?
Can you have a sign saying Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter,
and let's like work together to fight for those who have lost their lives unjustly?
adam crigler
Boom.
tim pool
There's a bunch of memes that go around about this, that for some reason seek to discredit All Lives Matter.
adam crigler
I don't get that.
tim pool
Me neither.
adam crigler
It's like both sides arguing that the sky is blue.
lydia smith
You're right.
adam crigler
It's blue!
No, it's a darker shade of blue.
No, it's black.
It's blue.
Everyone, it's blue.
The sky is black.
tim pool
You're talking about refracting particles.
That's an illusion.
No, I don't care about that.
I'm telling you, I can see it and it's blue.
Instead of being like, friends, friends.
unidentified
You're both just so awful.
tim pool
Shut up.
Regular people understand that literally the sky is black and that due to reflecting moisture, you know, water molecule, particle molecules or whatever, it creates an illusion.
adam crigler
It is actually cool to think about the fact that the blue light you see is just one part of the spectrum of colors that is shining through.
It's just sunlight refracted.
It's pretty cool.
lydia smith
Very cool.
tim pool
Let me see if I can.
I'm going to try and find this picture.
I found it in two seconds.
Look at that.
I'm so good at what I do.
Not that one, this one.
lydia smith
There we go.
adam crigler
Oh yeah, yeah, this is great.
tim pool
So this is a very famous image.
That I see all the time.
I don't know what its origin is.
But look at the camera.
For those that are listening, let me explain it to you.
There's a man with a knife chasing a man.
On camera, it looks like the man running is actually the man doing the stabbing because the camera only captures a specific portion of, you know, the incident.
It's a really interesting way of thinking about how media narratives frame what's actually going on.
adam crigler
Yeah, it nails it.
tim pool
Basically, the guy running, his foot is pointed, and the guy swinging the knife is screaming.
So on camera you see a guy screaming and a pointed object coming his way, when in reality the guy screaming is the one doing the stabbing.
It's a good representation of how the media skews our perspective of everything.
I want to go back to, you know, you were talking about your arguments with people on Facebook.
Why are people arguing with you on Facebook?
adam crigler
Because I'm being vocal and I'm asking questions.
That's really the thing.
I'm asking questions.
You know, honestly, it all started from someone posting a meme.
It was, you know, Black Lives Matter say, we need police reform.
And then they're like, OK, let's get rid of Aunt Jemima.
And then they're like, yeah, OK, well, what about police reform?
And they get rid of Uncle Ben's.
And then, yeah, well, what about police reform?
And there was a bunch of different things.
And then someone started writing.
It's like, the Republicans tried to do this and blah, blah, blah.
tim pool
Well, I mean, like, not specifically, like, what is going on in their minds where they're like, aha, Adam said something, I must be angry with him.
You know what I mean?
adam crigler
Well, that's what we're seeing.
We're seeing people that are swayed by the mainstream media.
They're running on emotions.
So they get triggered whenever they see someone that isn't speaking to the narrative that they want.
tim pool
What do they get?
adam crigler
That's a great question.
I don't know.
I'm trying to figure that out myself.
tim pool
So when we break this down, what do we have?
We have Republicans offered up a reform policy.
Democrats shut it down.
So what are these people arguing for if they're not winning anything?
adam crigler
I don't know.
And not only are they not winning anything.
They're mad at the Republicans in this situation.
Because all I said was, the person who posted the meme, and then someone responded, and I just said, hey look, because of my job, I'm actually really aware of things that are going on in the political realm, and this is actually true.
The Republicans put forward the bill, and the Democrats shut it down.
And period.
So what I said was just the truth, right?
Nothing more, no biased.
But man, did I get blasted.
People were just, oh haha, nice try.
And then they were posting these anti-Trump memes and saying all this stuff about how they got me.
And I'm just like, what do you mean?
Like, I literally just said the truth.
This actually happened.
They did shut it down.
And they're like, yeah, well, you're clearly biased because you said the Dems shut it down.
So you're clearly not a Democrat.
You hate Democrats.
And I'm just like, you guys are changing.
No, no, not changing.
They're adding their own narrative.
And I guess their nuance to what I said and making it fit what they want to scream about.
tim pool
We need sports back.
We need sports.
adam crigler
Actually, you know, that's funny that you should say that.
I agree.
I agree.
Sports are a way for us to blow off steam.
We can hate each other comfortably.
Oh, you like that team?
Well, I like this team.
And it answers that, and we haven't really realized that video games are the new sport.
That it is the newer version of it.
You get that, you know?
Yeah, esports.
Esports.
It's huge.
That's why it's so big.
Because everyone has access to it.
You don't have to be physically fit.
You don't have to be good at sports.
All you need is good hand-eye coordination.
tim pool
So, look, when I was younger, I used to actually get mad that people were so obsessed with sports because they'd argue about socks versus cubs.
And it was always typically a little bit in jest.
adam crigler
Yeah, but I mean, it's not even an argument.
Cubs are better.
unidentified
Sure, they're actually not.
adam crigler
I'm clearly a Cubs fan.
tim pool
Statistically, they're not better, right?
adam crigler
No, they're not.
Statistically, the Sox have been a better team, but the Cubs finally just won.
I've been to many Cubs games.
I sang with Harry Carey.
I've been to Wrigley Field.
I've got a big soft spot for Chicago sports teams.
tim pool
I think all in all, sports have been kind of dwindling.
Here's what I was going to say.
When I was younger, I was actually mad that people wouldn't pay attention to the world around them because they were too obsessed with sports.
Now as I get older, I'm like, maybe that's a good thing because people don't actually care.
They just want to fight you.
That's why I was asking you, like, why are they arguing with you?
adam crigler
Because, yeah, that's a good point.
tim pool
Listen, I read the news literally all day, every single day.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I just read news.
And it's funny when you get these far leftists being like, Tim's not a real journalist.
All he does is read articles.
It's like, bro, do you know how much research I have to do every single day?
adam crigler
You claim that you only work for...
tim pool
I record for about three and a half to four hours of content.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And it's 12 hours.
adam crigler
All day long.
Trust me, I see it.
All day long, this guy is a machine.
He is just constantly...
Yep.
Researching.
tim pool
Fact-checking.
adam crigler
All day long.
tim pool
Doubling down.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's amazing.
tim pool
I'll tell you what.
There are several instances where, like, you'll bring something up.
Like, hey, I heard this.
And I'll say, oh, actually, that's not true because of this, that, and this.
You're like, really?
Wow.
And then we'll look it up.
Then sometimes you're like, oh, actually, I found the source.
adam crigler
It's true.
tim pool
And I'll be like, oh, wow.
How about that?
And then several instances I'm like, actually, here's the source of that meme.
And so when it comes to like that story about the dude driving the car on the highway, I watched like five different videos.
I watched the live stream from the woman who got hit as she was streaming, as she got hit.
I read all the articles and I said, here's what's actually happened.
And then you have all these people who are like on team left who aren't reading it saying he drove around the police barricade and then went the wrong way on the highway and hit somebody.
And I'm like, that didn't happen.
adam crigler
So I'm going to scream it to everyone.
tim pool
So here's what I see happening.
You have people on Facebook who argue with me, and it's the funniest thing, because I'm like, with all due respect, what do you do for a living?
And they'll say, like... What is the answer?
Someone will tell me, like, oh, I'm a warehouse forklift operator.
I'll say, okay, okay, let me just make this point, okay?
And again, with all due respect, I respect your opinion, however, Yeah.
At a certain point, wouldn't you defer to the experts on the issue?
Yeah.
And so I actually got in an argument with this dude and he was talking about how much
smarter he was and how he knew all these things.
And I say, you realize that I have like been doing this for a decade.
I read nothing but news all day, every day, nonstop from all different sources, fact checking
all day, every day, 10 years, 10 years.
Would you go to a doctor when he says, here's my prescribed treatment and go, I read actually on Twitter that this says I shouldn't be doing what you prescribe.
And that's why I got really mad when Trump was talking about hydroxychloroquine, the treatment for COVID, and then all these pundits were like, don't do it, it's dangerous.
Like Cavuto on Fox News was like, it'll kill you.
And I'm like, no, no, no, no, stop.
Don't listen to any of these people.
Listen to your doctor, please.
Don't listen to Trump.
Listen to your doctor.
If your doctor says it's safe, trust your doctor.
That's all I can really say.
adam crigler
And technically speaking, Trump... I watched that speech.
He was actually referring to a... from a doctor.
tim pool
His doctor.
adam crigler
That told him that.
So he was like, this is something that they're finding.
This is... and it's promising.
tim pool
And people are like, why would someone want to argue so bad that they would think they know better than I do when I'm being respectful?
I'm not insulting them.
I'm just saying, here's the source.
I can prove what I'm saying.
And their source is a meme.
And so I actually told this guy, I was like, bro, look, I'm done playing games.
You're, as far as I can tell, like you to me are like an anti-vaxxer.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Like you've got a doctor saying, here's what I think about the medication.
And then you're just like, nope, don't care.
I work in a warehouse, but I know better than you.
So that's why, like for me, like on the issues of vaccines or masks or whatever, I'm like, look, man, I gotta be honest when it comes to Fauci.
I don't listen to a word that guy says anymore.
adam crigler
Same here.
tim pool
You know, and I'm not the only one saying it there.
Like a lot of people have finally come out and been like, he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's pretty obvious. But I still defer to the doctor.
tim pool
So here's what I say. Listen, ignore the public PR debate over like masks and all that
stuff. And the problem and it is a problem when our governors are playing PR politics, you know,
instead of actually what we need.
Ask your doctor. If your doctor says where it I take your doctor's advice. That's all I can say.
Yeah. So the problem with tribal politics instead of tribal sports is that people now are invested
and simply fighting for the sake of fighting because they have their team, you know?
adam crigler
Well, it's in our nature.
tim pool
I'm on team left.
You're on team right.
Therefore, I'm going to fight you.
And it's like, this is actually negatively impacting our way of life.
Can you go back to talking about Sox versus Cubs again?
Because at least then you deferred politics to people who are more interested.
adam crigler
I don't even think it's that people want to fight.
I'm going to correct myself that I just said that because when I look at it, it's people want a purpose.
And as little of a purpose it is to just be rooting for a sports team, that fills that purpose.
I'm so proud that my team won and I've got my friends that love my team.
You got community?
Right?
You've got a purpose.
You've got something you're looking forward to.
You're excited about the game on the weekend.
You're looking forward to it.
It doesn't matter what you're doing.
tim pool
You've got a rivalry.
adam crigler
You've got a rivalry.
You've got someone to, like, hate upon, like, in the best way possible.
unidentified
What?
adam crigler
You got something to add?
lydia smith
Yeah, so I think people mostly just want to be long.
And I think that's what being part of a fan group is.
adam crigler
Boom.
lydia smith
I think that's why sports is so important.
Because I have long said, I don't really care for sports.
I don't follow sports.
And I was like, Tim, I thought that people who followed sports were kind of silly.
But I was like, if it gives them something to, like, rally around, and someone to cheer for, and an enemy that's not harmful to root against, where is the harm here?
tim pool
As long as you're also focusing on, like... And seriously, for all the people that are on Team Timcast IRL, why haven't you smashed the like button?
adam crigler
Oh, great question!
That's what I'm saying right now.
tim pool
That's really what I want to know.
Adam's game.
adam crigler
That's what I'm talking about.
Why aren't you smashing the like button?
unidentified
We should have 50,000 likes right now.
adam crigler
Smash it!
Hold on, I'm not done.
unidentified
Wait.
adam crigler
Smash the like button!
tim pool
There you go.
unidentified
Smash!
Yeah!
lydia smith
There we go.
adam crigler
Alright, I'm good.
You can continue now, Tim.
tim pool
You know, typically when I read the history about the Colosseum, you know, bread and circuses, it's usually negative.
Like the people were distracted from the real issues that oppressed them in exchange for being thrown loaves of bread.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Or, actually, I love the... we just watched Waterworld.
When was the last time you guys watched Waterworld with Kevin Costner?
lydia smith
Yes.
tim pool
The smokers!
adam crigler
I've seen it so many times.
tim pool
I love that movie.
To be a part of something.
That's really what it is.
and he's throwing cigarettes to everybody.
That's kind of it.
We look back on this rather negatively, but maybe humans need something to make them...
unidentified
To be a part of something.
tim pool
Yeah, otherwise they'll be a part of something more violent.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
Or they'll shield violence.
So if the team sport right now... I think this is it.
I think Democrats, in their desperation, tried to weaponize tribalist politics.
And that's like the one ring.
They couldn't do it properly.
And they've unleashed the demons that they should not have unleashed.
When they lost to Trump, they didn't know why.
And so even during the campaign against Trump, they were trying to embrace this escalating progressive far left.
I think Bernie actually caused a lot of problems for them.
He blindsided them.
adam crigler
I could see that.
tim pool
It's very obvious to me that when you look at how they were handling the Democratic primary, it was going to be a very quick dropout to make sure Hillary won.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Because she was supposed to win in 08 and then Obama stole it.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
So then I think their plan was, it was going to be her, but Bernie had a real grassroots moment they could not contain.
adam crigler
That's true.
And so their only option- To try it themselves.
tim pool
Was to pander to Bernie's base.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Saying, how do you stop the rebellion in the ranks of the Democratic Party?
Because you know what the real problem was?
Everybody hates Hillary Clinton.
I'm not exaggerating.
Everyone.
The few people who pretend to like her, Are just scared of her.
lydia smith
Seriously, yeah.
adam crigler
Same thing.
lydia smith
Just pretend.
tim pool
I mean, look, there are cronies who are in the game who are happy with her.
Yeah, probably.
But I think she wanted the presidency, and I think I blame her 100% for the demise of the modern Democratic Party as it stands today.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Because she, it was her turn, she had to be president, even if it means destroying everything.
So what happened?
Because she was so hated by people, A large portion of the Democratic voter base had Bernie Sanders.
And then the Democrats went into panic mode, trying to stop the rebellion within their ranks, and the only way to do it was to shut Bernie up, but then pander to his base, otherwise the revolt would continue.
And they couldn't stop it.
If Hillary, in my opinion, if it wasn't Hillary, I don't know who they would have run, if you had someone who is more charismatic, There would not be a far-left insurgency among the Democratic Party, for the most part.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Because a charismatic leader, like, you know Obama was for universal healthcare in his first term?
adam crigler
I didn't know that.
tim pool
He never got it done.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
He said, by the end of my, mark my words, by the end of my first term, we will have universal healthcare or something like that.
Never happened.
And that's a pretty far left position, but he was still widely popular among the Democratic Party, even after his second term ended.
They could have found someone who was like Obama.
And I'm not saying Obama was good.
He's a horrifying thing, especially in terms of war.
If they had found somebody who was just charismatic, there wouldn't have been the Bernie uprising, in my opinion.
Now, there probably still would have been a big populist insurgency because that happened on the right and the left with Bernie and Trump.
Trump probably still would have won, but the Democrats today would be fighting a very different fight.
they would have, in my opinion, a real chance to defeat Trump.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Because what I've always said is, Trump is moderate on a lot of policy.
And he's done great by the economy.
He's started no new wars.
He wants to bring our troops back.
He's really hitting a lot of these key important points that regular Americans care about.
If the Democrats had someone who had those exact same policies,
but was clean mouthed, to put it lightly, I think they'd win.
Easily.
I think they'd really, really win.
When you listen to what Trump has to say, you realize he's not nearly as bad as the media makes him out to be.
But Trump does behave in a way that's very easy to weaponize against him.
Unfortunately for him.
They use it.
And there was a viral post on Reddit where Trump was doing the thing with his arm.
You ever see this?
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
And someone commented, I don't know how this wasn't the end of Trump as soon as it came out.
And then people mentioned the locker room talk tapes and stuff like that.
And the reality was, those people who are like, how did that not end Trump, never looked into what it was.
adam crigler
Exactly.
They get their news from memes.
tim pool
They get their news from memes on Reddit and on Facebook, and unfortunately for the Democrats, a lot of these people aren't going to vote, you know?
Like, the young people who get their news from memes, it's not going to happen.
I mean, we'll see how things play out.
adam crigler
What do you think about this, Kanye?
Kanye running.
It's a conspiracy.
No, actually, supposedly he actually entered in and filled some paperwork for 2024.
unidentified
2024?
adam crigler
I don't know if this is confirmed, But I saw it floating around.
I think it may be BS.
But he announced that he's running for president.
tim pool
I think he's talking about 24.
adam crigler
Well, the reason I bring this up now is because there's a lot of people that are upset.
I'm hearing people are upset that it's going to steal Biden's votes from the black community.
Right.
And now it's funny because different people are getting angry at it for different reasons.
lydia smith
Right.
adam crigler
OK, so we got people on the left that are like, how dare these racists say this?
They're so racist to think that that the black vote belongs to the Democrats.
The black vote belongs to Biden, that they would just, you know, assume that just because Kanye's in, they're going to take it.
tim pool
It's like Black Lives Matter activists who are saying this.
How dare you?
We don't have to vote for Biden.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
What's that assumption?
adam crigler
But they're claiming that the Republicans are saying that.
It's the Republican side that's making that argument.
They're mad at the Republicans.
tim pool
Well, that's true.
That's true, though.
There are a lot of Trump supporters who are saying that Kanye running will take votes away from Biden because Trump's base is not going to leave Trump.
adam crigler
Right.
No, exactly.
And the people who are voting for Biden, there was that poll that we talked about on Friday, that they're not even voting for Biden, they're voting against Trump.
So it has nothing to do with Biden, really.
It's just that they don't want to vote for Trump.
So they would rather choose Kanye over Biden.
tim pool
There was a poll put out by Political Polls on Twitter, and they just track all the different polling.
And they said, if you were voting today, who would you pick?
Trump, Biden, or Kanye?
It was Trump in first place, then Biden, then Kanye.
And the way I see it is, I think Kanye steals votes from both.
adam crigler
Yeah, I could see that.
tim pool
But because Trump has the hardcore pro-Trump base, they'll never abandon him.
adam crigler
Absolutely.
tim pool
His advantage.
I agree.
Because Biden has no supporters, he just has anti-Trump people.
Like, of course there are some Biden supporters, but come on.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
He got, what, six people to show up to, like, one of his... I'm not kidding.
adam crigler
I know, I saw it.
Every time I think about that image, I just giggle.
tim pool
He did a couple live streams that only got a few hundred people.
adam crigler
I know, it's sad.
tim pool
It's insane.
No one in this room right now is running for office and we have, what, like 56,000 people watching.
It's like, if we can do that and we're not interested in leading anyone's lives, that's really bad for Biden.
Really bad.
So here's what happened.
adam crigler
But the news was adamant about making sure everyone knew that a million people didn't show up in Tulsa.
It's like, okay, great.
But how many people showed up for Biden?
tim pool
Biden's literally hiding in his basement.
Spare me your concerns.
lydia smith
Seriously.
tim pool
There's a lot of reasons.
I think it's cause for concern that Trump couldn't muster the numbers he thought he was going to muster.
That's fine.
They don't seem to understand, though, that they pushed that hoax about TikTok kids.
It's like it's a first-come, first-serve event.
It's like you walk in the door, you get in the event.
There's different reasons for why it didn't work out.
But when I look at Kanye running, there are regular people who will be for Kanye.
And that's the real risk.
adam crigler
I'm honestly interested to hear his platform.
I'd vote for him.
You'd vote for him before you even know his policies.
I want to know what he's talking about.
tim pool
I know his policies.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
unidentified
Do you?
tim pool
I do.
And I didn't say I will.
I said I would.
Semantics.
Semantics. No, no, no, let me clarify literally what I mean.
Okay, based on the things Kanye's already said, I would give him my vote with some prerequisites.
I didn't say I'm going to, or I will, or I plan on it. I'm saying that the door's not
closed for Kanye West. A lot of people are gonna look at Kanye and say, it's ridiculous, why would
you vote for him? No, no, no, no, no, Yeah, I would.
I would.
He's got a lot to do.
adam crigler
He's a smart dude.
tim pool
First of all, Kanye is an urban liberal.
Yeah, he grew up in Chicago.
He talks about social justice issues.
I can dig that.
And then he also talks about helping the American worker, bringing jobs back.
And he talks a lot about things Trump has proposed.
I said to this man, Kanye might be a unity candidate.
Chicago urban liberal black man who understands those issues, has concerns for supporting the black community, and is all about helping the American worker and wears the MAGA hat?
That dude will win in a landslide.
I'm not kidding.
adam crigler
No, I agree.
tim pool
I see it.
When he speaks, people listen, especially in the black community.
And if Kanye comes out and he runs, I think he would just crush it.
He would win.
Could you imagine if he ran the Democratic ticket with a MAGA message?
But having like a more moderate liberal approach that I think the DNC would don't don't they don't want that though
They couldn't stop Kanye West. No, I know but first lady.
adam crigler
That's what he would be an independent He's not gonna run as a Democrat. The DNC would be like
nope Sorry, we cannot control you. I don't know. Sorry
tim pool
So so there's a funny post where they were like some I came aboard it was but somebody was ragging on
Now they weren't writing on Kanye. They brought up the absurdity. Okay, I
And then someone said like a celebrity candidate whose wife is famous for like smut and stuff like this.
And it's like basically describing Kanye and Trump.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
That's why it's like, I believe if Kanye ran as a Democrat, he would win.
Hands down, across the board.
Because Kanye's gonna have the social justice message, and the American worker MAGA message.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
Not perfectly.
Republicans don't overwhelmingly support Kanye.
adam crigler
And Democrats don't either.
I don't think the DNC would have a choice.
tim pool
They wouldn't be able to stop him.
adam crigler
It would be Kanye walking in the room and be like, taking the mic.
This is mine now.
I'm not gonna let you finish.
I'm taking this and I'm gonna go be president.
Peace.
tim pool
He would win.
I think he would win.
And people underestimate him.
That's a big mistake.
When he first started talking about Trump and Candace Owens and stuff I do research, man.
I was reading what young black men were saying.
There were arguments on Twitter where young black men were saying things like, I got you, Kanye.
Kanye's what it's all about.
I'm glad you're speaking up.
A lot of people saying things like they didn't know about Trump.
They didn't F around with him, but Kanye said it.
And so they started looking into it.
Now they're down.
And there were a bunch of black women who were like, don't listen to Kanye, man.
He doesn't know what he's talking about.
And seeing these arguments was really interesting.
That Kanye, you know, look man, some people might look at him, the establishment elites will mock and belittle him.
The same thing they did to Trump, ignoring what he's all about.
Kanye is very much like Trump in a lot of ways.
adam crigler
I can see that.
tim pool
He's an intelligent businessman.
Now, you can call him eccentric and crazy, but the dude clearly knows what he's doing and he's smarter than you.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Like, I don't see you becoming a billionaire.
That dude has got talent.
adam crigler
Yeah, he has.
tim pool
Now, maybe he does some things wrong, but I think it's stupid.
People think Donald Trump's a moron.
I'm like, dude, Come on, man.
You can criticize the guy because he became a billionaire off of a million dollars from his family, but he still became a billionaire.
You can criticize him for all these things in the world, but I don't see you doing the work he did to make it.
adam crigler
Not only that, he became a president of the United States.
tim pool
Yeah, I love that when he said, he's like, I ran for public office one time and I became the president of the United States.
Everyone's laughing and I'm like, it's funny, man.
He's a funny guy.
Kanye West.
He's got a lot of people who look at him like, he grew up in Chicago, he got the talent, he worked hard, he succeeded, and that success resonates with people because there are a lot of people who say, I want to be like him.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
Remember, what was it like, the American dream was to be Donald Trump?
Is that a real quote?
adam crigler
I think so.
It was in different rap songs for a long time.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
You know, just to be like Trump.
tim pool
How many people see his lifestyle?
And they want that.
You don't show the people like it.
We had the show Lifestyle of the Rich and the Famous.
Then we had Cribs.
People love to look at the extravagance and the success of wealthy famous people.
But a lot of these people strive to be that.
They want to figure it out.
They want that dream.
Donald Trump came to these people and said, Look at me and my golden toilets.
You elect me and I'll make sure every American's got a golden toilet from sea to shining sea.
I'm exaggerating, but he said he'd boost the economy and he did.
And then I talked to so many people who said the economy was better than ever.
I'm not exaggerating when I say this.
I went to a furniture store and I was buying some furniture.
This table that we're using right now.
And the lady was, I was talking to her and she asked me what I did.
I said, we do a political podcast.
And then the conversation got into politics.
And she basically said, I don't know about too much of that stuff.
What I do know is this has been the best year of my life in terms of income.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
I'm like, really?
And she goes, it's crazy.
She's like, the numbers are just nuts.
People are buying stuff.
The economy is great.
I heard that over and over again from various people.
When we had contractors come in to do some work, they were like, it's been amazing for us.
We're overbooked.
I was trying to get a miniramp built before this one, and every contractor I called was like, we're booked up, man, we're booked up for six months.
And I'm like, man, the economy's too good!
Too good of economy!
adam crigler
I don't think that exists.
unidentified
What?
tim pool
Too good of economy?
Too good.
Look, when I'm trying to hire someone to build something, and I gotta wait six months?
adam crigler
Let me get my camera.
lydia smith
It's tough, man.
tim pool
So I said to the guy, I was like, can I pay you extra?
Like, I understand the demand is through the roof.
What if we just up the cost?
It's like, I'm locked in, man.
I can't do it.
adam crigler
Well, good thing you hired a carpenter.
Little do they know, I'm a carpenter.
tim pool
I ordered a prefab ramp, meaning they manufacture it in a facility and then ship the pallets out, like the big boxes, and then I hired some local handymen to come in.
It's really, really simple instructions, so you don't need an actual carpenter or builder or anything like that.
The economy was great.
So if Kanye West Steps up.
He's going to have a lot of people who are just like, I want to be like him.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
And they're going to vote for him no matter what.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
He's, he, he is, he is a famous celebrity who has proven his own success.
unidentified
Isn't he?
tim pool
He's a, he's a billionaire, right?
unidentified
I don't know about that, but yeah, Kanye is good for him.
tim pool
Another billionaire president.
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool
So here's what I mean when I say I would vote for Kanye.
I saw him come out and talk about helping the American workers, setting up a factory in this country to produce his shoes, I think, here.
adam crigler
Awesome.
tim pool
I didn't know that.
Actions speak louder than words.
And that alone means You know, the door is open.
I'm not saying it's a guarantee.
Not for him, not for Trump, not for anybody.
But if it comes down to 2024, and you got like, you know, Kanye West running on some ticket, and he's got a very pro-America, help the workers, help the middle class, and he talks about certain, you know, more moderate liberal policies as a Chicago urban liberal, he's got a strong platform for a landslide victory.
adam crigler
He really does.
Yeah, you're right.
I agree.
tim pool
I think he would win huge numbers.
adam crigler
I honestly, I would think he is serious about 2024.
tim pool
I think so.
adam crigler
I think it's serious.
tim pool
I love that when he was like, what you laughing at?
Remember that?
adam crigler
Yeah.
And it's like, because he's probably serious.
tim pool
He said on stage, he's like, so when I run for president in 2024, everyone starts laughing.
And he goes, yo, what you laughing at?
I'm like, woo!
President Kanye.
And it's funny to see so many people offended by it.
They're like, it really is idiocracy if Kanye West gets elected.
It's like, dude, look back in time.
You apparently don't know about some of our presidents, man.
adam crigler
Or the fact that they know him.
They think that they know who he is just because he's a celebrity on a pedestal that everyone can see, but you just, you don't know him.
lydia smith
I just learned something about him from my quick Google search to make sure that I wasn't telling a lie about him being a billionaire.
He owns almost $300,000 worth of livestock.
Did you know that?
unidentified
What?
tim pool
He's a farmer?
lydia smith
Yeah, I don't know.
unidentified
Wow.
lydia smith
Yeah, I was like, what?
tim pool
What kind of livestock?
lydia smith
That's cool.
I don't know.
tim pool
He's a billionaire though, right?
lydia smith
Yeah, he is, he is, yeah.
tim pool
Kanye West.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
You know what's really offensive to me is how the left runs away with conspiracy theories and never gets called out for it.
You get one, like, I'll tell you what.
I did, there was an article from the Washington Post that said, could COVID have broken out of a lab?
And it talked about the South China, it was like South Beijing University, where they said that they were researching bats, and that's where COVID may have emerged from the bats in the lab, and they escaped.
Not that it was manufactured.
And I get all of a sudden these far leftists screaming, Tim Pool's a conspiracy theorist, because I read the Washington Post article on it.
The left right now, high-profile leftists, are screaming that Kanye West and Trump are conspiring to steal the black vote away from Biden.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
Which is racist and insane on its face.
Could you imagine this?
This is what I picture, and I love this image.
It's like a thunderstorm, and a car pulls up into a secret corridor, a tunnel into the White House, and Kanye is rushed out with a bunch of secret service agents.
They open the door, they bring him into a dark room where Never happened.
on a lamp and it's Trump and Kanye and Trump's like, this meeting is off the record, never happened,
no recordings. And then Kanye pulls out like a folder. Yo, here's a plan. He's a plan, yo,
and he opens it up. And then it's like, run for president.
All the black people vote for Kanye.
Biden loses, Trump wins. I'm like, do they think, I know it's silly, but like, do they actually
think Kanye called Trump and he was like, hey, Trump, I'm going to help you win by running to
Trump and he was like, hey Trump, I'm gonna help you win by running to steal the
steal the votes away from Biden. That's insane. Even if it was just Kanye West calling Trump to
votes away from Biden?
That's insane. Even if it was just Kanye West calling Trump to do it.
unidentified
do it. Or, you know, it's way more plausible that that I know it's silly, but do they actually think Kanye called
adam crigler
Or, you know what, it's way more plausible that Kanye just is a Trump supporter, which
they have been known to be bros. And Kanye was hanging out with Elon and they were just like,
man, I'm just gonna do this. I'm gonna just blast it out.
tim pool
They were probably stoned.
adam crigler
That's what I said. I was like, they probably smoked up together.
They were just, you know, making fun of stuff. And Kanye was like,
what if I said I ran for president?
unidentified
No, no, no, no.
adam crigler
Elon's like, yes.
tim pool
They're sitting there. They're both baked. And Kanye goes, yo, Elon, you know I'm running for president.
And Elon's like, shut up, man.
You're not really running for president.
And then Kanye's like, yo, I'm serious, bro.
And he goes, then tweet it.
Say you're doing it.
And then Kanye's like, all right, I'll tweet it right now.
adam crigler
Elon being the meme lord that he is is like, this is the truest meme that I've ever done.
tim pool
You saw they were hanging out.
adam crigler
Yeah, so Orange Bros.
tim pool
So then when he tweets then Elon's like, I got your back, buddy.
adam crigler
Yeah, they're probably just sitting next to each other.
tim pool
They're laughing, they're like high-fiving.
Two billionaires.
adam crigler
Totally, man.
tim pool
Somebody, there was a funny post where someone was like, a sick joke playing on the American people by billionaires, and I'm like, okay, well, well, well, like I Isn't that what the mainstream media is in general?
No, it's like Kanye West and Elon Musk laughing and joking about him running and tweeting it out.
It's like, you don't gotta take it to a dark place.
I think it's funny, you know?
Man, it's really crazy when you see Elon, you know, coming out, Kanye coming out, so many people.
When you start to listen to what Trump has to say, who are these people who are so terrified of a Trump second election?
adam crigler
I don't know.
Honestly, I feel like everyone who screeches at me on Facebook, I just want to ask them, have they ever actually listened to any of Trump's speeches?
Any?
One?
Have you listened to one of his speeches?
No.
I have a feeling none of them have.
None of them.
tim pool
Here's my question.
Here's my question.
Do you support Joe Biden and the establishment Democrats?
Yes or no?
I'd be willing to bet overwhelmingly the answer is no.
All right, here's my response to that.
So you have an option right now to re-empower the corporate establishment Democrats Or, let the bull rampage around inside the ivory tower for another four years.
Do you really think the world will end in four years under Trump?
If you really think Trump is all that bad, then don't you think four years of Trump will PROVE the corporate Democrats wrong, and then the progressives will be able to win?
If Trump destroys everything, and you really believe he's the worst, And you don't have an opportunity to get your progressive or Bernie in right now.
Voting for Biden will put a Band-Aid over the wound and they'll all go back to sleep.
adam crigler
But if Trump really is that bad... No, it won't put a Band-Aid.
Sorry, I can't just let that flow.
He's trying to keep the wound open.
They're literally holding the wound open and saying, this is what the world is like.
Everyone is like this.
tim pool
What I'm saying is the establishment Democrats are failing.
Putting them back in power allows them to shore up their strength and their base and prevent progressives from actually winning.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
However, if you really believe Donald Trump is the worst ever, give him another four years.
Let him prove he's the worst, and then you come back and say, see, we warned you America, now it's time to get our progressive in, right?
And if you don't agree with that, and you think Trump is the best, then you vote for Trump.
In the end, the best bet for any populist, left or right at this point, is a vote for Trump.
Voting for Biden gives the establishment the reins again and they will shore up all their defenses.
They will bring in all of their cronies into intelligence agencies and make sure no one ever shuts them out again.
They fell off base.
Here's what I want you to imagine.
American gladiators.
Remember that show?
adam crigler
Love that show.
tim pool
Great show.
adam crigler
Awesome.
tim pool
Big Q-tips.
Awesome.
adam crigler
Here's what happened.
tim pool
Shoot tennis balls at each other.
In 2016, the establishment was fighting with Trump and Trump whacked one of the establishment
guys in the face and he's, whoa, whoa, about to fall off.
He's lost his balance.
You vote for him, he gets his balance back, he shores up his defenses, and no one else
can come in after the fact.
If you let Trump knock him off and fall to the pit, they're out.
You can claim Trump is worse than, you know, and the worst he'll ever be, but I can't believe there are people actually advocating for Biden.
Trump, you know, and I think the problem is the propaganda for sure.
adam crigler
That's what it is.
tim pool
Because Trump is not that bad.
adam crigler
No he's not.
No.
tim pool
He did great by the economy, no new wars.
adam crigler
No, he's doing a great job.
tim pool
You got the judges.
That's the big risk for liberals, like moderate liberals,
is that all the judges, the conservatives are winning over this one.
I'll tell you what, man, if I had the choice between far left revolutionary judges
and a conservative judge, I'm picking the conservative.
adam crigler
Why?
tim pool
I'm not a revolutionary.
I'm a reformist.
And I will take slow progress over total collapse and the burning down of everything.
Because I do love this country.
adam crigler
Lydia agrees.
I see her shaking her head.
tim pool
And so that's, you know, it's the fault of the far left because moderate, regular, I think regular Americans, your average person, is like reluctantly pro-choice.
They're like, okay, well, we don't want to celebrate, say, like, abortion, but there's a rights issue, there's health issues, and we have to make sure we do this fairly.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
But that's gone.
That's completely gone.
That argument is naturally now on the moderate Republican side of the argument.
You've got the pro-life, and then you've got the pro-life with some exceptions, then you have the left where it's like, total abortion anytime, anywhere.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
tim pool
And so regular people are like, I guess I'll take some losses if it means not burning everything to the ground.
How about this?
Superchats!
unidentified
Oh!
adam crigler
This is my favorite time!
tim pool
Smash the like button!
adam crigler
We get to talk to you guys!
Hey, what's up everybody?
unidentified
The UFO.
Oh no.
tim pool
Must be spun.
adam crigler
My goodness, the UFO is not spinning!
tim pool
Wait, wait, wait, hold on.
adam crigler
What is happening?
tim pool
We have 24,000 likes.
I really appreciate it, everybody.
adam crigler
Thank you.
Well, I thank you, everyone.
tim pool
We have 48,000 or so people.
adam crigler
I tip my beanie to you.
tim pool
If you could, be ever so kind and take the little bit of extra effort to smash that like button.
I mean it.
Because we've talked about this before, if every single person who tuned in hit the like button, YouTube would recommend us overwhelmingly to every single person.
They would hear what we had to say.
adam crigler
I mean, I'm spinning the UFO for you.
The least you can do is smash the like button.
tim pool
It's true though, listen.
adam crigler
Look at this UFO, it's spinning for you!
tim pool
Last week...
We talked about this, about how like really does help, and YouTube recommends based on how long you watch and if the like button is being, you know, hit by people.
And then sure enough, we get recommended more, more, and the show gets bigger and does better.
If you like our show, you want to help it out, it really does make a huge difference.
adam crigler
Thank you all.
tim pool
And subscribe!
adam crigler
Thank you all.
tim pool
Subscribe to the show if you wanna see more.
We do Monday through Fridays, 8 p.m.
to 10 p.m.
And we're also gonna take your Super Chats.
Now, mind you, it's getting more and more difficult because of the sheer number of people.
Like, this is an absurd amount of people.
You guys, we love all of you.
Almost 56, was it 56,000?
lydia smith
I don't know.
adam crigler
56-ish.
tim pool
That is way too many people.
lydia smith
Wow, that's amazing.
So many people.
adam crigler
Not enough people.
I wanna double that number.
Tell your friends, tell your family members, tell them how awesome we are.
tim pool
Spread the good word.
adam crigler
Look at this cool monkey I've got on my shirt.
He's a skateboarder.
You know where I got this right, Tim?
tim pool
Christiania.
adam crigler
Christiania, at the skate park.
tim pool
Yeah, Christiania, it's the free town, it's the autonomous zone in Denmark.
Why can't we have that, right?
No, that's... No, no, hold on.
When they set up an autonomous zone in Denmark, it's like hippies eating hot dogs and stuff.
adam crigler
Because it was started by hippies.
tim pool
I know.
adam crigler
That's why.
That's the difference.
tim pool
The autonomous zone we get here is extremist lunatics with guns shooting people.
adam crigler
Right, right.
All right, let's read the stupid chat.
Sorry.
tim pool
All right, let's see.
Let's start with the beginning and then we'll start jumping around.
adam crigler
Is there any from Ibequeefenum?
tim pool
Iberippinum says, Adam, you should tell the fans about the racist attack I suffered that I told you about on Twitter.
adam crigler
This man or woman, I'm not sure, this person was having a wonderful conversation in a park, got attacked because he farted.
They farted.
Sorry, I don't want to gender you.
tim pool
They.
All right, all right, all right.
adam crigler
You know what?
I wanted Tim to read that because he's one of the OGs.
lydia smith
He is.
adam crigler
One of the OGs.
Got to give it to you.
tim pool
All right, let's see what we got here.
Llamo Sick says, there was a massive back the blue pro-police rally yesterday in Wontog.
Is that how you pronounce it?
adam crigler
I think so.
tim pool
Wontog?
On Long Island.
I thought you'd be really glad to see so many people standing up against the hippie leftist BS.
Well, well, hold on there a minute.
I got no problem with the hippie leftist BS.
If a bunch of hippies come out with sundresses and flowers and they're smoking weed and they're like, yeah dude, play the tunes, I'm like, right on brother, go mind your business.
adam crigler
No, but this is the problem that I was talking about earlier is because there's no clear person to be angry at.
They, the hippie left, or the Black Lives Matter movement, or the Antifa, or it's like, they're all doing different things, and they're all having different arguments, and everyone's like, why, why is this going on like this?
You know, so, you know, it's, who knows what they're actually talking about, because the hippie, the hippie left, they're not doing anything.
They're the ones trying to grow the garden in Chaz.
Not the people shooting people.
tim pool
So I will, I will criticize them, right?
And to the extent that they essentially fill the ranks of, you know, of these groups, which allow the extremists to do their thing.
adam crigler
Yeah, good point.
tim pool
So long, look, if it's just the hippie leftists, I don't care if they're, if they're sitting in a park and smoking weed and talking about, you know, weirdo lefty stuff.
adam crigler
The earth used to be smaller and then expanded.
tim pool
Hippies were the people who were like, they're very libertarian in the sense where they're like, I'm gonna party with my friends and do drugs and stuff, and I'm like, hey man, you do you.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
That's liberty right there.
adam crigler
There it is.
tim pool
It's the authoritarian leftists.
The tankies, the commies.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Who are pretending to be hippies.
That I'm not okay with.
adam crigler
Agreed.
tim pool
Alright, let's see what we got here.
Yikes.
Yeah, Japan.
SolidBulg says, Hey Beanie Gang, taught in Japan for 3 years where there is institutional
racism.
Can't open a bank account or live in certain places, etc.
Still easier there than coming back to the US and being told you're evil every day.
Yikes.
Yeah, Japan.
Very racist.
Yeah.
Poofy says, Starting off with good news first.
JK there is no good news lately.
I don't know, President Kanye is funny.
I guess it's bad news for a lot of people though.
Eggman says, have some cash, keep up the good work, appreciate it.
D92 says, to all my Ruby, is it just me or does Black Lives Matter feel like it's going the exact same way that the White Fang did, i.e.
a peaceful organization being overrun by radical extremists?
I don't know what White Fang is.
adam crigler
What is that right above it?
That super chat there?
tim pool
It says, don't read that book, Adam.
adam crigler
Is that from Carolyn?
Is that what I see?
tim pool
Yeah, Carolyn Borisenko.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
What book is that?
I will not read it.
It is one of my, these, uh, how do I put it?
I want to say SJW friends on Facebook that are trying to be mad.
It's specifically the person who told me today that I wasn't allowed to have a voice because I'm white.
And I think that's ridiculous.
And they said, you know what?
Read this book on white privilege, basically.
tim pool
You should read it.
adam crigler
Well, I asked her, I was like, you know, have you heard of this?
You know, do you know what this book is?
And she's in the middle of White Fragility.
She's like, man, I need a break right now from reading this terrible piece of work.
tim pool
Here's the way I see it, right?
Let's say you're an expert on some martial art that's like the best.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Or like MMA guys always pick like, you know, certain, you know, martial arts, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, for instance.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
If you know the specific tactics of other martial arts, you will be better when facing off against those people.
adam crigler
Oh, no, you're right.
Yeah, absolutely.
tim pool
You'll know their moves, you'll know their ideas.
So I'm all about, this is why it's so important not to burn books.
adam crigler
Yeah, agreed.
tim pool
Otherwise, there's a reason why they do it.
They don't want you to learn the truth.
adam crigler
And she's breaking down white fragility for us.
tim pool
It's so absurd.
adam crigler
I mean, have you seen some of her tweets about it?
tim pool
Yeah, I have.
Stupid bug.
adam crigler
It's bad.
tim pool
Did you see Matt Taibbi's takedown?
Matt Taibbi is a liberal man, Rolling Stone writer, and he called it, what did he say?
It was like Hitler-esque or something?
adam crigler
It's pretty bad.
It's really bad.
lydia smith
He was incisive and did not like that book at all.
adam crigler
It's bad.
tim pool
Alright, what do we got here?
Winter Walker says, last Friday Adam insisted most people see through the false media narrative
and crazy critical theories that drive the riots.
Disagree.
I work in consulting, and with few exceptions, my co-workers and people I know all buy in.
Now to be fair...
adam crigler
That's the optimism in me.
tim pool
Well to be fair, we all have our bubbles.
And so it may be certain corporate worlds have been inundated by this, and you may be seeing an exaggeration.
However, it could also be true that we're seeing an exaggeration on the other side.
adam crigler
It's true.
tim pool
Because we create a community of people who reject this.
This is what scares me.
We had a huge number of people watching live today.
56 or so thousand people was the peak.
It's down at about 45.
That's fine.
There's a lot of people.
Maybe we're everyone.
What if that's it?
lydia smith
That's still a lot of people.
tim pool
And think about this.
adam crigler
I doubt it.
tim pool
No, no, no, listen, listen.
I'm just saying, what if?
How many of those people were also willing to support the channel with simply pressing a like button?
I mean, I'm not trying to be silly with passing over it, but I mean it.
lydia smith
It's a small action.
adam crigler
Now look, look at what happened on Saturday.
How dare these people light these fireworks off?
We told everyone that the fireworks were illegal and $50,000 fine.
They should not do it.
They're posting it on Instagram.
Like, are you kidding me?
Yeah, right there, that's liberty right there.
That's freedom what I'm seeing.
tim pool
This is amazing.
adam crigler
Every city across the country, people were lighting fireworks.
They're like, we are celebrating because we're proud of this country.
tim pool
That is the silent majority.
adam crigler
I know it is.
tim pool
The most people who don't vote.
The largest voting block is didn't vote.
adam crigler
And you know what drives them to vote if they never did vote?
tim pool
Riots.
adam crigler
Look what's going on in our country right now.
They're gonna vote.
And many people are hitting me up.
They're like, you know what?
Thanks for speaking out.
Because I'm starting to speak out.
And I'm talking to you.
If you're one of the people that said this to me.
Props.
Because that's what needs to happen.
We need to have people standing up.
Like Terry Crews.
He doesn't care.
He doesn't care what they think.
He's like, no.
I'm going to fight for what I believe is right.
tim pool
I want to make sure I make something really clear too.
Whenever I tell people, You can have your dreams if you fight for it.
They say, easy for you to say.
I'll give you a real example.
When I was working for Fusion and I had a fat salary, they're like, easy for you to say.
You get paid a lot of money working for a Disney company.
And I'm like, do you know how I got this job?
Do you know why I got the job?
So here's what I'll tell you, man.
When it came to Vice, people were like, how come you get to travel all around the world?
They won't even let me go out and do a shoot in Brooklyn.
Like, we can't film anything, they won't let me leave.
I'm like, right, because you have to bring yourself.
The first thing they asked me when I said I wanted to work for Vice, have you ever traveled internationally?
I have.
Do you have a passport?
Of course I do.
You've covered conflict in other countries?
Yes, I have.
Okay, works for us.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
If you don't have that experience, they're not going to assume the liability for you.
You have to go and do it.
And people always say, you know, it's easy for Terry Crews to speak up.
He's got F you money.
He's a famous celebrity.
And the reason he's able to have that money and that success is because it's the kind of person who won't back down.
adam crigler
Yep, exactly.
tim pool
Confidence.
Huge respect.
adam crigler
I love it.
tim pool
fight for he's he also remember remember when you talked about that guy assaulting him he was one of the few men who
stood up and said I'm not stand for this and he was one of the few males
in the me too movement calling out the abuse that that huge respect that dude takes no BS.
adam crigler
I love it.
tim pool
So even right now they're attacking him on Twitter.
Like I don't care.
I'm right.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
That's that's the thing.
Build carve carve yourself a space where you have that freedom.
It might not be easy to get started, but the last thing you want to do is, there's several paths you can go down, and the path of least resistance will leave you as a wad of cookie dough.
But if you go the hard route, you will carve yourself out of stone and that will make you impervious to all the BS they throw at you.
So maybe it's easy for us to speak out because we have a platform, because the show is successful and all that stuff.
But look, we've faced threats of demonetization, of censorship, of the channel being banned.
Like I mentioned, I talked about the Washington Redskins and they flagged the video for demonetization because it was hate speech to mention the Washington Redskins?
lydia smith
The football team?
tim pool
What the heck?
And the debate?
Yeah.
But you know what?
I'm still gonna talk about it.
Look, when COVID first broke out, people were saying to me, because I don't swear and because I wouldn't say the name of that CIA guy, that I was giving up and giving in to the censorship.
And I'm like, listen, listen.
There are lines.
I don't need to say the guy's name and I don't need to swear.
But when it came to COVID, I was told explicitly by YouTube, we will demonetize every single video if you talk about this.
And I said, okay.
And then I went to make like 80% of my videos about COVID because it was the huge story and it was important.
And revenue went into the gutter.
And I said, well, too bad.
I know, too bad.
And then finally, after a couple months, YouTube relented and said, okay, okay, we'll let everyone talk about it now.
And they created a special category called like serious analysis or opinion around topics like COVID.
They opened the door finally.
And it was only because people like me were like, I am talking about this and I don't care what you do with demonetization.
adam crigler
So on that point right there, to bring it back to that super chat that this person basically just said, I don't think what Adam said last Friday is viable because I'm seeing it.
You need to speak up.
You need to talk to these people.
I don't agree with what you say.
We have to not be afraid of that.
Tim is not afraid of it.
Sure, he isn't afraid to talk about COVID because that's what we're all talking about.
We're in a pandemic.
How are we not going to talk about COVID?
Of course.
Now look, if you don't agree with your co-workers and they're talking political at work, which they shouldn't be, they should just be working, you know, save it for after work, and you shouldn't be fired, I shouldn't be reprimanded by who I thought was friends of mine just because of Me becoming politically aware of what's going on in the world, and I know that they're not, they have no idea what they're talking about, because all they give me is gibberish.
I'm not gonna stop talking.
I'm not gonna not say something to them.
I am speaking up to them, and it's great.
And funny enough, I've got other friends that I haven't talked to in a long time hitting me up and going, you know what?
Hey, what up?
What's up, man?
Thank you.
Thank you for speaking up.
tim pool
And the secret is you've lost no friends.
adam crigler
You're absolutely right.
tim pool
Anybody who's gonna be like, F you, I'll never talk to you again, was not your friend.
lydia smith
True.
tim pool
Not your friend at all.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
These people who are telling you to disavow your family are scary.
adam crigler
Agreed.
tim pool
It's really scary, man.
There was a viral post where, it was on Reddit, I think it may have been the Donald, I'm not sure, but they said, they were like, you know, seven years ago, my sister came out as a lesbian and I sat down with her and told her that I loved her and, you know, no matter what she, no matter how she lived her life or who she chose to love, I'd be there for her.
Today, she won't even talk to him anymore because I told her that I was voting for Trump.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
And that was like, whether it's true or not, it's an internet post.
But, I mean, I believe it.
Maybe that's my bias, but of course I believe it.
These people are fervent.
adam crigler
I feel it.
I'm getting it firsthand, so I know it to be true.
tim pool
Let's read some more of these.
We got Alvin.
He says, vote Kanye to save the country.
You know it.
Spork Witch says, I live in Rochester, New York.
I've literally had people say they won't speak with me because my jacket had an American flag on the shoulder.
Almost all the locals are vocally pro-Antifa, not just Black Lives Matter.
There's no question the left tore down the statue.
I believe it, man.
I believe it.
I believe it, too.
But I do wait, just in case, because they try to bait you.
unidentified
Then they can go like, and they all blame the left, but it turns out it was a white supremacist.
tim pool
It's like, okay, okay.
I'll wait for the evidence.
But I have a bias.
I think I know who tore it down.
lydia smith
Somebody said Douglas got up and walked away.
unidentified
And I was like, yeah, I could see it.
adam crigler
He's like, I'm out of here.
tim pool
He went to dive into the... You know what I was thinking?
adam crigler
Someone appreciates me.
tim pool
Somebody made a point about...
With this car accident in Seattle, all the news reports keep saying a white jaguar hit this woman, and they won't talk about the driver anymore.
And so they were like, really funny how- The luxury vehicle.
I think maybe it was Ben Shapiro who said, inanimate objects have somehow come to life and are now- Like the girl in Atlanta.
Yeah, and I was thinking about it, and I'm like, you know in Toy Story, Yeah.
how the toys are sentient and alive and you move around.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
What makes something a toy?
Just like by saying it is, in which case you can make any inanimate object,
Frederick Douglass for instance, a statue.
He's actually an action figure.
Close your eyes, he gets up and walks away.
lydia smith
Yes, exactly.
tim pool
All right, let's see.
Gumbercules says, I learned about you from my friend JJ.
Over the last month, I've noticed your viewers have rising nightly.
The three of you rock.
Keep up the good work.
Buy some new board bearings with the 20 spot.
unidentified
Oh, thanks, man.
tim pool
You got it.
I ride Swiss Bones.
I think I'm using Swiss Super 6.
adam crigler
I have no idea what I'm riding.
tim pool
You're riding like the best of the best.
We got the best of the best.
adam crigler
I'm riding the best of the best.
lydia smith
The best of the best.
adam crigler
Tim hooks up his employees.
lydia smith
He does.
adam crigler
My minority boss is the best.
lydia smith
That's right.
Don't you forget it.
tim pool
Yeah, this is a sticky situation.
Hashtag real name says, do you think there should be laws to separate commentary and
opinion from news reporting so that there is less corruption of important information,
like social media platforms being platforms?
I don't.
I think the issue is cultural.
adam crigler
Yeah, this is a sticky situation.
I made a post the other day about, you know, make it should be illegal to like mention
the race in in the headlines of people.
tim pool
You think so?
adam crigler
Well, I agree.
No, no, I actually disagree also now because I posted it and people were like, that's
That's not free speech, you know, and and I'm like, you know what you're right. Oh, I
I can change my mind.
I'm allowed.
I reserve that right always.
And everyone should have that ability to change your mind.
But it makes sense.
You know, you got people that are... Sometimes, sure, it could make sense.
But I think it's ridiculous when they get to pick and choose.
It's either always or never.
They're pushing their narrative and people just need to know that people do that.
If everyone's aware that there are mainstream media outlets that push their narrative that they want to trigger your emotions, then they don't trigger your emotions anymore because you're aware of what's going on.
tim pool
The problem is there is no culture.
There's no unifying culture.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
So you have people who are literally saying... America's all over the place.
A lot of these journalists are just like, you know what, man, the ship's sinking.
adam crigler
I'm going to take what I can before it hits the... I'm going to try to get as many clicks as possible because that's what I'm paid for.
tim pool
Why do I care about what happens to other people?
There's no sense of community, there's no sense of America.
adam crigler
But anger gets the clicks.
That's almost what our culture is nowadays.
unidentified
Alright, let's see what we got here.
tim pool
Dead Twist said, Red pills taste the best.
That's a big ol' super chat, appreciate it.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
All right, let's see what we got.
Alvin says, I want to see a Kanye featuring Trump diss track on Joe Biden.
That would be amazing.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
adam crigler
That would be good.
That would be good.
tim pool
Wow, Trump.
lydia smith
Let's make this happen.
tim pool
They really need.
Trump would do so well.
adam crigler
Oh, yeah.
tim pool
Grilled Cheese says, the Donald dot win for real news and memes from Trump's base.
Now, you know, I mentioned the Donald dot win often.
That's the URL you type it in.
And the reason I do is because if you go on Reddit, you can see the far left.
Just like that.
Everything is far left.
And I personally believe we need a healthy balance of the news that we absorb.
And by Reddit excising the Donald community, it's like someone only eats junk food.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Well, you gotta eat your vegetables too.
So that's why I always tell people, look, if you want to see the other side of that conversation, it's thedonald.win.
And it's only because I think people should be reading sources from across the board that I shout them out and not any specific leftist Reddits.
adam crigler
I gotta spin the UFO for Tim right now.
unidentified
Oh yeah.
lydia smith
Do it, yeah.
adam crigler
Because of what he just said.
This is some truth bombs right here.
lydia smith
Well deserved.
tim pool
AlternativeJK90 says, I like Japan, man.
Super chats got lost many times, but here it is.
Japan is the only nation outside the US that has a constitution similar to ours.
General MacArthur rewrote their government inspired by the founding fathers.
It's time to cancel anime, the Olympics, and the PS5.
I like Japan, man.
Japan's fun.
adam crigler
I don't know.
I don't know a lot about, uh, their politics.
Me neither.
I can't really speak for it.
tim pool
Nightmarish Vision says, haha, orange man bad.
One free holiday to a band.
Please, seriously though, left and right wing are not real things in the same way libertarian and authoritarian are.
It's like an alien telling you they are on the mauve or teal wing.
I agree.
You're like, wait, what does that mean?
We've got a bunch of superchats.
Look at this.
People are celebrating.
It's like fireworks.
Cody says, 50k viewers, mad props.
lydia smith
Oh, yeah.
tim pool
We got JMaxx's 51k viewers.
It's amazing.
Keep it up.
adam crigler
Thanks for tuning in, everybody.
tim pool
DeadTwist says, purged from Twitter after close to a decade of messing with Anons from before Sabu, but I'm a problem.
Wow, really crazy, man.
adam crigler
It's a shame.
tim pool
Well, Parler, that's what it's for.
You know, I tell people, like, use Parler and use Twitter.
Use them both.
It's crazy now, you can see Tommy Robinson, Milo, Laura Loomer, all these people who are purged, right there in the parlor talking again.
It's like, that's what it's for.
Hey man, these people exist, they didn't just go away, they've been doing their thing and you need to know what they're talking about because it's important, especially if you think they're influential.
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
Ryan McMillan says, Hello Tim, Adam, and Lydia.
Thank you all for the live stream.
Also, with the stories coming out of the media at this point in time being framed in support of far-left agitators, do you think there might be legal action taken against them by the state?
The media?
The media is protected.
They will never be able to come after the media.
It's just, they're always going to...
I like the First Amendment, man.
The problem is cultural.
adam crigler
Do you see that Ted Cruz put forward that bill that mayors can be responsible for what happens after, like, rioters?
lydia smith
This is interesting.
adam crigler
Very interesting.
Yeah, check that out.
lydia smith
I'll check it out.
tim pool
Cornelius says, People say they don't know what to do.
That's not true.
People actually want you to tell them what to do.
If this show wants to make an impact, set a common weekly goal for your base.
You have a voice.
We want to help.
Use it.
All right.
adam crigler
Easy.
Speak out.
It's going to be that every single week.
tim pool
I'm not a big activist, you know what I mean?
adam crigler
That's okay.
Leave it to me.
Adam, you can be the activist.
Look, speak out.
That's it.
I'm speaking out.
I'm losing what I thought were friends.
tim pool
Be respectful.
Be polite.
adam crigler
Be informed.
That's the number one.
Do research.
I want all of the knowledge.
All of it.
I want all of it.
Give it to me.
Teach me.
I'm going to do my own research.
I'm going to read both sides.
I'll read these books that someone doesn't want me to read so I can understand where their perspective lies.
tim pool
You should read the Antifa handbook.
adam crigler
Probably should.
tim pool
JW says, Tim, having the left's ideology is worse than being left on policy, because they trick you on policy.
Then they have you vote for their ideology, and when you vote for their ideology, you have chaos, you take away God, you lose your soul.
Now, the way I interpret this, It's true.
They'll tell you, like, don't you want free healthcare?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And you're like, wow, free?
Thinking it's just given to you.
It's impossible.
adam crigler
Impossible.
tim pool
Everything must be created, like built, or the labor must be done by someone.
Free doesn't mean anything.
adam crigler
Correct.
tim pool
In capitalism, I can be like, Adam, here's one dollar in exchange for you to do something.
And you can say, no.
Man, I tell you what, I've had so many business meetings that are so much fun, where they're like, we want you to do a thing for us in exchange for this.
And I say, no.
And they're like, I mean, we're gonna offer you a lot of money.
And I'm like, no.
And they're like, okay.
I'm like, if I don't want to do it, I ain't gonna do it.
You can't make me do it.
Now imagine if you live in socialism and they come to you and say, we're going to make you do this job because you're best suited for it.
No.
Gulag sounds nice.
How about that?
You break up some rocks, that'll get you, you know, educated.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And then you're gonna be like, fine, fine, I'll do whatever you say.
adam crigler
Yeah, they're trying to push the system on the society that has been built on a completely different system.
And that would only, if they did switch, it would only, it's like filling up the gas tank and then just driving out into the middle of nowhere with no gas forever, ever again.
And by the time you get to no more gas, that's where you are.
And then you just, you're stuck there forever.
tim pool
It's the easiest trick, man.
It's like, hey, I'll give you a million dollars if you do this job.
And then after you do it, they say, I don't have a million dollars.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
Thanks for doing the work.
Bye bye.
And then they use force to remove you.
So they come out and they say, vote for us and we'll give you all of these sweet, sweet, you know, whatever you want.
The sweet nothings whispered into your ear.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
They can't actually give that to you.
It's a trick.
All right, ladies and gentlemen.
Well, if you haven't already... Smash the like button!
All right, I was gonna say follow me on Twitter and Instagram at TimCast.
adam crigler
I took the mic from you.
lydia smith
All right.
tim pool

Have you guys heard about the Unity 2020 plan?
about we do the show Monday through Friday 8 p.m. we usually end around 10
but I'll read a couple more super chats for y'all before we sign off for the
night nice so we have this one from Ben McDonald he says have you guys heard
about the unity 2020 plan I think it's the best shot we've got to get real
leadership into the White House I have I need to read more about it, but it really does just sound like a third-party run, and I don't see why it would work when the left doesn't want moderate policy.
Maybe that's the idea, to push out the far left, but look, if moderate liberals aren't paying attention, they're not gonna care.
They're gonna say, I'm just voting against Trump.
The far left takes the reins and says, follow us and we'll bring you to victory, and they say, okay.
So I'm not convinced a third-party run would work.
adam crigler
Not in the current system, anyway.
tim pool
I will do it.
I'm spinning it.
We got this UFO, and it would, like, not spin.
And then people would be like, you need to get it going again.
and cast IRL, spin the UFO to keep them in line.
adam crigler
I will do it.
I'm spinning it.
tim pool
We got this UFO and it would like not spin.
And then people would be like, you need to get it going again.
And I bought this duster.
And so I was like, hey, watch this.
adam crigler
I can spin it in a duster.
It's my duster.
tim pool
And now it's Adam's duster.
adam crigler
I should scribe my name into it.
tim pool
And he spins the levitating UFO with it.
Thomas Hallsale says, hey, to change the tune, can you give us an idea of what music you're into?
Lots of love from Liverpool, UK.
Muse.
adam crigler
I love Muse also.
Tool.
Led Zeppelin.
tim pool
Bournes.
Incubus.
We've been listening to a lot of Bournes lately.
adam crigler
Sublime.
Red Hot Chili Peppers.
tim pool
But that's like the old stuff, like what have we been listening to lately?
adam crigler
That's what I listen to.
lydia smith
I really like Robert DeLonge.
tim pool
Robert DeLonge's good.
adam crigler
That's my upbringing of music.
I mean, I can't just start talking about music without labeling, like listing the greats that have carved... I'm a musician, so like those that I just named are very heavy in my influence.
tim pool
Muse for me is like, is big, you know?
I love you, but the government is taking over.
All of their songs.
adam crigler
Yeah, Muse is a new love for me.
I love them, but I just discovered them basically like, I don't know, a year or two ago.
tim pool
All right, check it out.
Pat Damiano says, shout out from Rochester, New York.
They did my boy Freddie wrong.
Be on the lookout for a deck coming your way from Crud Co, skate shop, local place around here.
unidentified
Cool.
adam crigler
Very cool.
Thank you.
tim pool
Strange KE says, in the BLM propaganda video, they mentioned rap.
Rap is ruining my generation.
How can we fix the problem of rap?
Rap is a political tool.
Change my mind.
lydia smith
That is cultural.
tim pool
You know, I think back to a lot of old school rap.
And it was like, actually, a lot of it was kind of smart.
And then you started, you got this whole generation of like, just swearing and being rich.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I don't care for, I'm not criticizing the style of music.
There's like really bad rock too, with really awful messages.
I think the problem is, for me growing up in Chicago, we have a cultural issue.
People don't care about this country, they don't know what it means, they don't know what it represents.
Because we're so like, you know what we are as Americans?
adam crigler
What?
tim pool
Every single one of us are like the child of rich parents.
Everyone.
When you ask people, what does the 4th of July mean to you?
Most people would just be like, you know, freedom!
lydia smith
Fireworks!
tim pool
Fireworks!
You know, 4th of July.
And you ask them, what was the American Revolution?
And they can't tell you the finer points.
Like, it was one of the first times we actually implemented these ideas of self-government.
Before this, it was divine providence.
The kings just had control, hereditary monarchy.
And it was an ideological revolution.
All of a sudden we were like, we're going to be in charge of ourselves.
And that was huge.
From that, you ended up with Frederick Douglass, who was like, Hey, remember when you said that?
Yeah.
Do you really believe it or don't you?
And like, well, I do.
Okay.
Well, in that case, we're all free.
Fine, I guess.
And then we fought and everyone died and you know, but then we ended up winning freedom.
That's what it really means.
adam crigler
That's what it really means.
I heard an awesome song a friend of mine posted by Tom McDonald.
lydia smith
Oh yeah, me too.
tim pool
Someone just said that.
adam crigler
Tom McDonald, man.
lydia smith
He's on it.
adam crigler
He spits fire.
lydia smith
He's talented.
adam crigler
I'm from Chicago and I grew up in like, I don't know, Atmosphere, Sage Francis.
I went and saw them a bunch of times in some small venues in the city.
So, I like hip-hop and Tribe.
Tribe's awesome.
Yeah, I love Atmosphere, though.
But Tom McDonald, man, he kills it.
tim pool
Terry Clark said, dude, listen to Tom McDonald songs.
Coronavirus and White Boy.
adam crigler
Boom.
lydia smith
I'll do it.
adam crigler
He's good.
tim pool
We'll do it right when we sign off.
adam crigler
Yeah, he's good.
tim pool
Which, unfortunately, is happening right now.

Yeah, that's right.

adam crigler
That is an understatement.
That's all I can say.
tim pool
For one thing, we're leaving New Jersey.
adam crigler
It's official.
We are officially leaving New Jersey.

It is a process.
adam crigler
COVID really... I'm very excited.
tim pool
The pandemic shutdown really slowed everything down, unfortunately.
lydia smith
We're getting there.
tim pool
So hopefully this is it.
It's happening soon.
We will be there soon and it is going to be amazing.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
I'm really excited for the gun portion because we might actually have, I'm pretty sure, we're gonna have our own indoor shooting range.
lydia smith
Oh my gosh, yes.
adam crigler
That's, come on, we're gonna do it.
tim pool
We're gonna have our own.
