Peace.
tim pool
I'm just kidding.
Somebody chatted.
They were like, how long until Tim starts saying Civil War?
And so Adam was like, just say it.
Make it the first thing you say.
And I was like, all right.
adam crigler
Way to out me there, dude.
Totally.
tim pool
It was Adam's idea.
Don't blame me.
He's the one who said it.
adam crigler
I don't believe that Civil War is happening.
tim pool
Do you have that little art of the creepy but amazing?
adam crigler
I can go get it.
It's upstairs.
tim pool
Welcome to the show!
You don't have to snag it later when I go get my so we got sent this just really amazing art check that out
It's like a little me holding a star and a garter, and I'm on a skateboard. That's really really cool
How's it going everybody welcome to the show smash that like button?
Adams got a soundboard now We only have three sounds so far.
adam crigler
Yeah, I don't feel... Those aren't my sounds, so... We gotta be... I want my own sounds.
tim pool
We do have to be careful moving forward, too, because we don't want to be one of those, you know, soundboard non-stop.
There'll be funny moments.
adam crigler
No, I mean, it's all about... Comedy is timing.
You don't have good timing and you're just uncomfortable.
So, yeah, I'm all about my timing, you know?
I'm working on it.
That's why I want my own soundboard, because, you know, I got my own timing going on.
tim pool
You made a list of the sounds you wanted too, right?
adam crigler
I have many good sounds I want.
I got some help from you guys, actually.
A lot of people hit me up with some really good ideas on Twitter, so it's gonna be good.
tim pool
Excellent.
And it's getting crazy out there.
A federal judge has denied that lawsuit from, I guess it was a lawsuit.
They filed suit.
The attorney general in Oregon was trying to sue to shut down the federal operation in Portland.
And surprise, surprise, what do you think a federal judge said?
adam crigler
Get out of my courtroom.
Well, I don't know about that, but they were like, no, that's my guess.
I'll take it.
tim pool
I'd be willing to bet the federal judge was like, let's see here, you're trying to tell the federal government to stop protecting the courthouse for which I am a judge.
adam crigler
Were they in that courthouse too?
tim pool
Okay, okay, hold on.
This is what's funny about it.
Okay, so these Antifa people are trying to, they've breached this courthouse a couple times.
They're trying to, they're setting fires in front of the federal courthouse.
And so the AG has filed a lawsuit in federal court.
I don't know if it was that specific court asking the judge to stop To have federal law enforcement stop protecting a federal courthouse.
This is the most insane thing I've ever heard.
adam crigler
It is entertaining to think that that was the courthouse they're in.
They're like in the courthouse, like, they should leave so we can burn this place down.
Yeah.
tim pool
Your Honor, we'd like to ask you to stop protecting this building.
And they're like, no, we're not going to do that.
I work here.
Have a nice day.
But it was all remote.
So it wasn't at the courthouse.
But I can't believe That this is, this is where we've come to.
And now I, you know what, man?
So there's a, there's an article out from Vox.
adam crigler
Oh man.
tim pool
Which is very much akin to what we talked about yesterday with this Bloomberg article.
That was like, just the first sentence took us five minutes to get through to break down how, how, how much of a lie it was.
adam crigler
Yeah.
This is, this is the echo chamber of they, they read that article and they're like, oh, we can, we can do better.
Crack their knuckles.
Started typing up.
That's the impression I got.
tim pool
This article from Vox, it's as if somebody...
Literally walked into the box office and said, I need you to just make everything up.
Like, I don't know, throw in some aliens and like maybe Godzilla and then claim Trump is actually a cyborg.
Just full-on psychotic.
I have never seen fake news this bad.
We are in the realm where media is literally writing fiction.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
I'm not kidding.
adam crigler
They're storytellers.
tim pool
I've been working in this industry now for about 10 years.
It's crazy to think that, because I was just some dude walking around pointing my phone at stuff, and now here we are.
I worked in some of these newsrooms, and I've seen some pretty awful reporting, but I've seen some really good reporting.
Over time, it's been getting worse and worse.
And now I don't necessarily think that some of these people know how bad they are.
I do think many of them are useful idiots for political parties who, you know, look, as far as I'm concerned, the point I'm trying to make is journalism today has become an arm of the political parties.
adam crigler
Oh yeah, absolutely.
tim pool
Mostly mainstream, high profile venture capital funded stuff.
Not necessarily even the Republican stuff because there are conservative outlets
that are like never Trump conservative outlets, and there's not that many
conservative outlets relative to establishment venture capital funded,
major network brand, all that stuff.
They literally make stuff up.
This is the craziest thing.
In this Vox article, they straight up say essentially that state law enforcement
has never anywhere other than Northern Ireland enforced crowd control.
adam crigler
That's ridiculous.
tim pool
I'm like, what?
State security forces go around all over the world for hundreds of, like, all of human history enforcing the law against people.
This is the craziest thing.
I have an article.
State police said they would assist local police in riot control during the riots last month.
unidentified
And Vox is like, it's never happened before that state security would do something like this.
tim pool
I'm like that is the most insane thing. This guy must have just I am at look it's Vox
So maybe this guy used to write about Brad Pitt's junk. I guess that's the trope now
Any nonsensical news is like celebrity gossip? Yeah, and they're probably like hey you want to write about this
I don't know anything about it, but sure i'll just make it up
And then they make it up And this is where we are. So we got some other news too. We
got some other crazy stories There's a a militia called I can't say their
Name because it's a swear, but it's the nfac coalition And apparently they're going to be at some event where there's going to be three percenters.
And this is the militia.
It's, I believe it's all black.
I'm pretty sure it is.
And they were on this, there was this video a while ago from Georgia where the dude says something like, the Boogaloos and these other militias, like, where the eff you at?
You know, basically calling them out.
Well, now apparently they're both going to show up at the same place.
So I can only imagine this will be really interesting.
I'm pretty sure this militia, the NFAC, they're like black Hebrew Israelites.
So they're like, the stuff that Nick Cannon was saying, the anti-Semitic stuff, the anti-white stuff, that's the kind of stuff that they've been sharing, and it's getting more and more prominent.
unidentified
Yeah, me too.
tim pool
And we got some really crazy news, too.
And I almost I got to be honest, I feel bad we're not leading with the China stuff.
adam crigler
Yeah, me too. But because it's pretty important.
tim pool
It was a toss up, to be fair, because we've got just unrest and civil chaos in our own
country. But then we have this one story that I didn't think I think in the grand
scheme of things, the story about China is serious.
The Feds went into the Chinese consulate and arrested a fugitive scientist.
I'm not an expert on this stuff.
I was looking up different articles.
I believe the consulate is sovereign territory.
That's the Feds going into Chinese territory and taking one of their citizens.
adam crigler
Yeah, and the defense minister of China was basically calling us out for overstepping our, overstepping, you know, and saying that, well, the ties, any friendship between Chinese and American is over.
tim pool
We got to talk about this China stuff, man.
I think, you know, like the thing about this Fed stuff in Portland is that it all ties together with this, what we're going to see in, I think it's in Louisville, where these militias are going to clash and people are getting worried about it.
We gotta talk about this China stuff, because... We gotta talk about it.
It's serious stuff, but I have some thoughts on this.
So let's do this.
Let's jump straight over to the federal judge story.
However, you must, it is imperative, that you smash the like button.
adam crigler
Smash!
That was my... I went Wolverine there, like, shing!
unidentified
Smash!
tim pool
Smash!
unidentified
Slice!
Slice!
adam crigler
Should I switch it up a little bit, maybe?
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
Maybe start steering on a little different... Slice up the... Do a different superhero every day.
Which superhero?
No, no, no, not every day.
You know, you gotta let it sink in and develop.
tim pool
Who's the least likely to actually smash something?
adam crigler
I mean, Wolverine smashes a lot.
tim pool
Slashes.
adam crigler
That's true.
Well, he smashes, he slashes.
tim pool
Actually, Adam.
adam crigler
He slices, he dices.
tim pool
All right, all right.
Make sure you subscribe and hit the notification bell.
We do the show every Monday through Friday at 8 p.m.
Let's talk about the serious going-ons of Oregon, Portland.
Federal judge denies Oregon Attorney General's motion to restrict federal police actions.
Now, this story is very, very simple.
It's basically... Let me just read you the quick context.
Federal Judge Friday denied a temporary restraining order that Oregon's Attorney General sought to restrict federal officers' tactics in Portland, finding the state lacked legal standing and presented scant evidence to support allegations that federal officers were illegally snatching people off city streets.
unidentified
Boom!
tim pool
That's what we've been waiting for.
The fake news.
All of these outlets have been running rampant, being like, they're snatching people off the streets.
When they actually went to court, and the judge was like, can you show us them doing this?
They were like, no, your honor, but get out!
And the judge was like, okay, get out of my courtroom.
Denied.
It's not real.
They're not doing this.
adam crigler
Nope.
tim pool
So how is it that all of these news outlets are saying, unmarked, ununiformed?
Ununiformed?
What does that even mean?
lydia smith
Naked?
tim pool
We get to this point now where Ladies and gentlemen, on this program, you have heard us talk about the game of telephone that journalists play.
I would like to present to you the most extreme game of telephone we have seen yet.
But first, let me read this next paragraph to get a little bit of understanding.
unidentified
U.S.
tim pool
District Judge Michael W. Mossman issued his ruling two days after hearing about 90 minutes of argument by phone conference.
It comes on the 58th consecutive day of protests.
Are we really at day 58?
It's like every time I read a new article, they're claiming it's a day later.
lydia smith
I lost track.
Time's weird right now.
tim pool
Okay, I guess we're on day 58.
So yes, quote, because it is not shown it is vindicating an interest that is specific to the
state itself, I find the state of Oregon lacks standing here and therefore deny its request for
a temporary restraining order. Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum had urged the judge to
bar federal officers from engaging in unconstitutional police state type tactics,
alleging the federal officers have violated protesters' rights to free expression and
assembly, unreasonable search and seizure, and due process.
The Attorney General and her lawyers referenced two incidents.
Two!
I said this.
It was two videos.
That's it.
In which, men in camouflage fatigues took Michael Pettibone of Downtown at 2am, placed him in an unmarked van and took him to the courthouse for questioning.
Another person the next day was caught on a widely circulated video on social media being led away to an unmarked dark van by men in camouflage, later identified as Customs and Border Patrol officers.
The suit was filed against the US Marshal Service and the FPS.
The judge determined for the purposes of the court hearing that Petty Bone's stop was likely
done without probable cause. Now that's interesting. But had little information
about the unidentified man in the video. That's interesting for sure.
On Twitter, Mark Morgan, a senior official with Customs and Border Protection, referred to a
person in a video who Border Patrol agents approached on the streets of Portland and
moved the suspects to a safer location. Now that's insane.
adam crigler
Inside the courthouse.
tim pool
for questioning to avoid a large oh no no no I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I should have read the full thing first.
A safer location for questioning to avoid a large and violent mob.
Suspecting he had previously assaulted a federal officer or destroyed federal property.
He provided no further information about the encounter.
They say the state has presented just one example of an arrest without probable cause and one example of an unreasonable seizure.
That is the sum total of the evidence before me that underpins the legal injuries the state asserts in its brief.
The judge wrote, in both circumstances of a federal seizure, it is either admitted or clearly visible that the agent's uniforms say police.
lydia smith
Yes.
adam crigler
Wow, so they contradict themselves.
tim pool
Who did?
adam crigler
Well, I guess this is two different articles, but...
They clearly say that the uniforms said police.
tim pool
Disproving it.
So what is this unmarked, unidentified, unmarked vehicle?
What was it, in the video?
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
In both instances of the evidence presented before me, their uniforms clearly say police.
So what is this unmarked, unidentified, unmarked vehicle?
Okay.
But to be fair, the judge did say no probable cause.
That to me is surprising.
And I'm going to defer to the experts because I would believe that the federal defense or
whatever would prove or try and present an argument for probable cause.
And I think they did.
They said they thought this guy was somebody who was damaging property, and they wanted to move him to a safer location so there wouldn't be a violent mob.
That's actually fair.
I agree.
But I'll tell you what, look.
The federal government has its own interests in mind, and if they're saying no probable cause, well, there you go.
However, the judge still told them, nah, they can keep doing what they're doing.
They're clearly police.
They're clearly doing their thing.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So here's what he says.
Beyond the two examples, the state failed to show that federal officers were engaged in any widespread unlawful practice or that others would be harmed in the future.
It has presented no evidence of any official orders or policies and has presented no evidence that these allegedly illegal seizures are a widespread practice.
Despite the broad language in its complaint, Oregon has shown, at most, that this type of seizure has happened twice.
Attorney Sheila Potter, Deputy Chief Trial Counsel for the Attorney General's Office, had argued that secretive maneuvers by federal officers make other protesters fear they'll be snatched off the street, blah blah blah.
Okay, we get the point.
All we needed to hear from the judge was that the only evidence they could present clearly identified these men as police.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
You can argue that the seizures were unconstitutional.
I will absolutely accept the judge's ruling on this one.
And I think it's fair.
I disagree, but at least it's not the judge, you know, just like, you know, jumping up on the table, dancing around and kicking papers at the state, you know what I mean?
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
They're saying, okay, okay, we get it.
Probably, you know, it seems like there's no probable cause, but they're clearly cops.
It's not widespread.
It was a couple instances.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Fair point.
adam crigler
Especially when the next like, I think it was a week afterwards, there was a press conference and they were showing the actual uniforms saying, you can clearly see police, you can clearly see, you know, the badge numbers.
Yeah, there it is.
Check it out right here.
So you can see it on their on the, you know, their arm, the badge number.
tim pool
Customs and Border Protection right here.
Boom.
NZ39.
adam crigler
And then they talk about how these federal officers were getting doxxed by Antifa.
So it's like, of course.
They don't even talk about that in the article that we just read.
tim pool
Right.
Well, so that was just like the judge's ruling.
But look, this article's been going around because it's hilarious.
lydia smith
This is beyond parody.
tim pool
Unidentified federal agents.
And it's literally got his patch.
lydia smith
That's amazing.
adam crigler
He's actually identified in the picture they're using.
tim pool
Check this out.
Check this out.
adam crigler
It's shameful.
tim pool
Here's what Vox wrote.
Look, man, I feel like I'm reading some kind of action book or graphic novel, just not something based in reality.
In fact, outside the context of a domestic insurgency like the troubles in Northern Ireland, there is no example of state security forces being deployed under circumstances like this inside any democratic state.
adam crigler
You about to drop some bombs on them, too?
tim pool
No, I mean, any sane human being who understands life is like, what are you talking about?
We have state police guard all the time.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Well, this is the most insane thing I've ever I've seen written.
Like, how does Vox have a green checkmark if you write something like this?
lydia smith
To me, it sounds like they're admitting this is insurgency.
That's all I hear.
What did they just say?
tim pool
That's a good point.
Outside of the context of domestic insurgency like Northern Ireland, there is no example.
So, I guess, well, kind of, I guess the argument is if this is an insurgency, then it's justified?
adam crigler
Well, that's what they're saying.
tim pool
But look what he says.
Look at, in both of, let me read this paragraph.
The crazy, the other crazy thing is that he's basically comparing this to the Civil War.
I know, somebody was waiting for me to say it.
He's talking about Reconstruction, not me.
I didn't legitimately bring it up.
The kind of violent federal deployment over the objections of state and local officials has no real precedent in American history.
The closest parallels are Reconstruction, when Union troops occupied the states of the defeated former Confederacy and military deployments to the South during the Civil Rights era to enforce desegregation orders.
So in other words, it's totally legal, it's been done before, can we move on?
Apparently not.
In both of those cases, it was uniformed soldiers that were sent, not unidentified state security from an alphabet soup of obscure DHS agencies.
More fundamentally, these troops were being used to protect moves towards racial progress, not suppress protesters who were there to demand it.
Well, that's... And there it is.
adam crigler
...blatant lying right there.
tim pool
Well, no, no, no, no.
adam crigler
It is, though.
tim pool
What he doesn't understand is, that's actually a very childlike view of what they were doing.
What they were doing was enforcing the law.
When the law said, this is what must be done, period, it wasn't about favoring an ideology or otherwise, it was about, the courts had ruled, the laws were passed, done.
So when it comes to what's going on in Oregon, when you try to breach a courthouse and burn it down and attack people, the law is very clear on that one.
So yes, identified state security forces are being deployed.
But see, here's what they do.
He's playing a very clever game with this fake news.
He says, not unidentified state security, right?
He didn't actually say, in this paragraph, the guys down there were unidentified.
He used a clever manipulation tactic to write overt fake news, so you assume.
Here's what he said, in both cases it was uniformed soldiers, not unidentified state security forces.
Did he say, the men down there are unidentified security forces?
No.
He said during Civil War, it wasn't them.
So you assume it.
That way when he comes to the next paragraph, it's technically telling the truth.
This is the most egregious example of technically the truth I have ever seen.
And this is what these companies do all day, okay?
Not every single one, but a lot of these digital-only, ridiculous, you know, companies that just, you know, just, like, knock out dozens of articles of nonsense every day.
Very, very clever wording.
Very clever.
You know?
In both those cases, it was soldiers, not evil, fascistic monsters made of, you know, metal with claws.
To make people assume that's what's really going on.
Now here's the funniest thing.
There's no example of state security forces being deployed like this in any democratic state.
First of all, you want to talk about unmarked, masked individuals in full tactical gear with live ammunition going into residential areas to purge undesirables?
There are many, many examples of that happening in democratic states.
You want to argue justification for whether or not they should or shouldn't be doing the certain operations?
They're all different.
I want to pretend like every single operation is the same.
But how about we pop over to something called the BOPI?
This is Brazil's Bopi.
They're basically like SWAT, and they've been criticized because their symbol is like a skull with pistols behind it, I guess.
adam crigler
And a dagger.
tim pool
A dagger through its head.
adam crigler
Stabbed down through the top.
Yeah, dude.
unidentified
Wow.
adam crigler
That's pretty brutal.
tim pool
So, take a look at this here feller.
This guy.
adam crigler
I don't know, he's identified.
tim pool
He's got his patch on his arm in much the same way as we see in Portland.
But you can't see his eyes, you can't see his face.
Look, I'll be fair, Matt, it's similar.
And these guys were heavily criticized.
But they have rifles, like live ammunition.
The dudes in Portland that are going out are doing crowd control.
So Rand Paul wrote this article saying we should demilitarize the police and all that
And it was making reference to Portland.
And I'm like, I agree, to a certain extent, the issue is more so accountability and oversight for the use of this machinery, technology and equipment.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
So, look, if I see a bunch of violent, whatever you want to call it, extremists trying to burn down a building, I'm not going to freak out when identified federal law enforcement say, get off our property, and then defend themselves.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's like they really think everyone has no idea what happens after the peaceful protesters Well, they don't even leave.
They're still there.
It's just when the rioters pick up and start attacking.
Did you know about the few guys that stood there?
There was a couple of hero black men that stood and blocked them.
tim pool
Where?
adam crigler
Last night in Portland.
They stood and I don't know the guy's name.
Awesome dude.
I think it's like Freedom of Speech something.
I don't know his tag, but they stood there.
They locked arms and actually stopped and he was like yelling.
He's like, look.
If you guys really think that, you know, Black Lives Matter, you will join me.
I'm not afraid to stand here.
And he stood there and blocked the guys from breaking down the barricade last night.
It's a pretty powerful video.
tim pool
I don't think they do think that, though.
adam crigler
I think these far-left insurgents... But they held back the Antifa members from breaking down the barrier.
That's pretty cool to see that.
tim pool
When he asked that crowd if they really cared, these people are just using this as a cover.
Dude, we've talked about it.
When they showed up, the Occupy people, the far leftists, the socialists, showed up to the Trayvon Martin march in New York and then steered the crowd in the wrong direction, away from the organizers.
The organizers were like, we're going to go to one police plaza and protest the NYPD.
And then the Occupy people ran to the front and steered the crowd towards Wall Street.
And all of those protesters, like that, became socialist protesters.
adam crigler
Yep, exactly.
tim pool
And this is what I was saying, listen.
This is what I was saying about the bank robbery thing yesterday.
If you're marching with someone who's leading you to Wall Street chanting, you know, like, we are the 99%, you're not protesting police brutality anymore.
You might think you are, but no one's gonna say, like, you're marching behind the dude against, you know, Wall Street or whatever.
But check out this, let's go to the top of this article.
adam crigler
No, I just want to give props to the chat.
Chat real quick, just hit me up.
It's Philip Anderson, King Free Speech, and he's the one who was there.
It's powerful to see that kind of stuff.
Thank you for standing up for the real deal.
tim pool
Pop over the Sierra Vox article.
adam crigler
He got beat up too, by the way.
tim pool
Really?
adam crigler
Oh, they beat him up.
tim pool
Did you see that one journalist who keeps getting beat up and then keeps saying, thank you Antifa, please may I have another?
I haven't seen that one, but... So, I'm being rude, but there's this, like, Andy Ngo was tweeted about him.
He got beat up the first time, and then Andy Ngo was like, Antifa's put a bounty on this guy's head.
And so then the dude tweets, the Feds, it's actually, you know, it's not Antifa, the Feds are trying to stop me, you know, they're committing war crimes.
Then they beat him up again and he posts a video saying something like, yeah, they beat me up, but it's OK.
Like, I'll be all right.
You know, I'm more concerned with the police.
It's like, dude, how many times are you going to get beat up and then you're going to act like... How many times do I have to teach the same lesson?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So take a look at this article from Vox.
Portland polarization and the crisis of the Republican Party.
Wow.
unidentified
What?
That to me, man, is... It is now officially political.
tim pool
Well, it's not confidence building.
unidentified
Okay.
I don't want anyone hurt.
tim pool
we are witnessing a crisis of democracy that is perfectly acceptable to a significant portion
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
of the population as long as it hurts their enemies. Okay.
adam crigler
I don't want anyone hurt. Okay.
What are they thinking? I really... It's the old saying, bro.
They really want everyone to believe that there's this huge mass of people that are racist, that want death upon their enemies.
It's like, no!
We want America to stop fighting and we want to work together.
Period.
That's what everyone wants.
They want this silliness to stop.
Most people are looking at these people like they're just spoiled little brats.
Including myself.
tim pool
And there are a lot of people that are too stupid To know what's going on and just see this and think, it must be true.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Like, you know what?
It's the old saying that Republicans think that Democrats are misguided.
Democrats think Republicans are evil.
adam crigler
Right, exactly.
tim pool
So I think at the highest level, like Vox, I believe, the people who run it, I believe they're evil.
I do.
And the reason I say that, and I use these words, I use like evil very carefully, is because the people who are funding this know exactly what they're funding.
They're conscious of it.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
So, a lot of people talk about, like, grifting on social media, and they say, you know, Tim's just choosing these stories because they get the most clicks and stuff like that, and it's like, actually, I choose the stories that I think are the most interesting and important.
adam crigler
Right, exactly.
tim pool
Like, today I talked about UFOs, because that Pentagon thing, and I'm pretty sure it's not gonna do as well as me talking, like, I could have recorded a segment on this.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Instead, I was like, I gotta talk about UFOs, man, this is, this is fun and crazy.
adam crigler
I still, I gotta, there's nothing, nothing concrete yet for me.
tim pool
Oh, of course, of course.
But anyway, the point is, Vox, CNN, Buzzfeed, these are companies where in the morning the boss comes in and says, who's gonna give me that story that gets a million clicks?
I'll buy a pizza.
And then they're like, I got this story about Joe Biden saying that he wants to defund the police.
Nah, no one cares about that.
You got something on Trump?
I got one of Trump that we can take out of context where it sounds like he wants to like beat a dog to death.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, that's good.
How many hits do you think that one will get?
Two million?
Run it.
The thing about a corporation that does this is that people have to consciously say, what is the story and which one will do better?
Run with that one.
I've been in these meetings.
I've heard them where they've pitched things.
Now it's not that insane.
They'll be like, yo, I heard this story about, you know, this guy on a, on a hacking website who got like his name released and the button, not interesting enough.
What about you?
Um, I think Donald Trump is racist.
That one.
Do that one.
The people in charge know what they're choosing and why they're choosing it.
It's very different from an individual being like, here's my opinion on these issues and here's what I think matters.
The company is like, here's our broadly defined or like a, you know, narrowly defined, you know, story, purview.
If you look at some of these earlier companies, like Mike.com, was like libertarian until they realized social justice, the police brutality stuff, it made them more money.
This is what I've been told, so I'll just tell you that.
It's like, you know, scuttlebutt.
But then all of a sudden they became a leftist social justice company because they were chasing the money.
The owners were actively pursuing this.
The scary thing about this article from Vox is I think they're right.
When they say we are witnessing a crisis of democracy, that is true, that is perfectly acceptable to a significant portion of the population, yes, and it hurts their enemies.
I believe that of the far left and the Democrats.
adam crigler
So the faulty statement there would be the Republican Party.
It's more the Democrat Party.
tim pool
And I can prove it with one simple bit of logic.
Go for it. The Republicans aren't showing up to the homes of politicians. The Republicans
aren't showing up to courthouse buildings and vandalizing and destroying them. And in this
context, federal police are not going to the homes of Antifa to beat and detain them. We're not
talking about creedies, little black bags showing up to a comedian's house, bashing them in the
face and throwing them in a van. We're talking about far leftists trying to burn down a building,
assaulting police officers, assaulting journalists.
They assaulted journalist Michael Tracy.
Did you see that video?
Maybe.
They stole his phone from him and say, if you want it back, say Black Lives Matter.
adam crigler
Oh, that one, right.
tim pool
And then you want to tell me that there's a group of people that are okay with this?
When I try talking to my friend saying, hey, they're assaulting journalists, so what?
Don't you know what's going on?
Why won't you talk about police brutality?
And I'm like, because they're beating up a journalist in the street.
adam crigler
Right now?
tim pool
Right now, yeah.
And I messaged you about police brutality when it happened last week.
Can you- No!
And then they just shut down.
No.
adam crigler
Or how about all the kids that are being killed across this country?
tim pool
Yup.
adam crigler
They're not talking about that.
tim pool
And how they're lying, conflating diligent valor with Operation Legend.
adam crigler
Yeah, they're definitely mixing those up.
tim pool
That, to me, is the creepiest stuff.
I want to show you one more thing with this.
This is just some article.
It's an investigative post.
I don't even know what this is.
But it's very simple.
The state police have troopers trained in emergency response.
That's the only sentence you need to hear.
So if state security forces show up and say, this is an unlawful assembly, you must disperse.
They use the LRAD and they fire tear gas.
Yeah, you can complain about it if they're pushing the boundary and violating your rights, you can complain about it, you can file suit.
But to act like it's the end of the world and that Trump is the dictator, it's insane how fake all this is.
They literally just make all this stuff up.
adam crigler
I mean, one can argue that.
I mean, there's I know the defamation laws, you know, the libel laws, it's they're they're directly causing people to believe that there is a war going on within our country.
So you can almost you can almost say that these Absolutely.
you know, media posts are leading people to cause violence and actually damage
damaged communities. It's like there's a direct correlation to their BS and
what's actually happening out there. You know I was really disappointed. You got
tim pool
to be held liable for that. There's a reporter named Josh Rushing.
He works for Al Jazeera's Fault Lines, or I think he used to.
And I used to... I still respect him.
And I say this because it bums me out.
He did this bit where he has someone film him while he calls Tucker Carlson on speakerphone.
And Tucker, he's like, Tucker, you recently said that white supremacy was a hoax and there are people in El Paso that feel like your rhetoric is inflaming things, makes them targeted.
Tucker's response was, Hey, why don't you send the questions to the media people?
Cause you know, I'm not, I'm not supposed to, you know, do this.
And then they made a bit out of it.
And it is the lowest form of trash content, and I was surprised that this dude, who I guess he had served in the military, maybe a marine, I'm not entirely sure, and then he became like a host for an Al Jazeera show called Fault Lines, and I'm like, this is what it's come to now, man?
Like, you're gonna go from reporting in conflict zones to being the guy in the street?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Gotcha-ing Tucker Carlson because someone gave you a cell phone number?
Yeah.
That's what it's become.
That's media today.
And I was just like, and now what he's doing is he's like reposting it again a year later
like hey everybody look what I did!
adam crigler
Well, in, not all media.
Huh?
Yeah.
Huh?
Alright.
tim pool
Sorry.
Had to do that.
We need to figure how to fix it.
adam crigler
How to hold them liable for lying blatantly to the American public?
tim pool
Yeah, I agree.
adam crigler
We definitely need to figure that out.
tim pool
It's very difficult.
These companies like Vox and Bloomberg have institutional power in the sense that they use their collective viewership to empower people who are really, really dumb and lie.
So you get these journalists who normally would have no influence because they're talentless and they're liars.
But they're placed up on a pedestal with tens of or hundreds of millions of dollars by major corporations that push their message out.
So you get these, you know, I think it's one of the reasons why they really want to control social media because social media became an open space for meritocracy.
Where someone like me, for instance, could just start making content and with zero marketing budget gain a ton of followers and get millions of views.
They don't want that.
They want the machine to control it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So now they're like, ban it all, shut it all down.
But I'll tell you what, man, it's hard some days when I see Vox, you know, I probably saw like 30 stories all saying the same fake thing.
Unidentified police.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Where a judge just ruled they're clearly identifiable in the videos you showed me.
What is this?
adam crigler
Yeah, there's a few friends of mine that are arguing that, like, you know, how can you defend this Operation Legend that, and look at what's happening in Portland, of course they live in Portland, and they're like, I go outside, everything's fine, nothing's like that, like, how can you say that?
And it's just like...
You live there, and you're telling me that the videos that I'm watching of the actual courthouse being attacked, and then here we have a court order, the judge issuing, like, nope, they're well within their rights to do what they're doing, telling me, like, no, it's terrible that you believe that, that you're the issue, that you're believing the false lies, so they truly believe what the truth is, is the lie.
tim pool
Think about how psychotic it is right now that CNN and Oregonian and all of these outlets are arguing that Portland is fine.
They're like, there's nothing really going on in Portland.
It's not burning down.
Nothing's happening.
And then they turn around and go, Trump's Gestapo.
They're snatching people off the streets.
It's chaos in Bedlam.
Which is it?
Which is it?
Is it Trump's secret police renditioning people?
Or is it, everything's fine, nothing's really happening, I haven't noticed anything.
If you're gonna go, if you live in Portland and you're like, everything's fine, then why would you complain about Operation Legend?
Oh, then great, then you wouldn't care if the FBI shows up to Chicago, right?
Because everything's fine amid Donald Trump's diligent valor?
adam crigler
I believe it's Chirac right now.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, Chirac.
adam crigler
Is the appropriate label.
tim pool
It's that simple.
If you think the DHS people in Portland is not a big deal because Portland is fine, then why would I believe you when you say, how dare Trump send federal agents to a different city?
unidentified
Why?
tim pool
Your city's fine.
adam crigler
And then we got the press secretary doing a, you know, you know, a speech to everybody.
And showing a video of what's actually going on.
Yeah, Fox.
Well, they were covering it.
And of course, she shows video of the actual riots, the actual fire, the actual, you know, mortars being shot at the courthouse and the, you know, the statues being toppled.
Sure, there was some graffiti there that people are claiming.
Well, there was graffiti that was, you know, said a swear word.
So they were going to get fined.
And it's like, no, that's not what they wanted.
They didn't want the general public to see what was going on in Portland.
Period.
That's what it was.
I mean, if you truly, and people are just bombarding any Twitter feed that I see about that, it's just all these people on the left like, no, no, it was just a swear word, don't worry, they just took it down from the swear word.
It's like, no, that's not what it was.
They don't want anyone knowing about the actual goings of Portland right now.
They want them to believe that everything's fine in Portland.
tim pool
They want you to join the Borg.
adam crigler
Yep, exactly.
tim pool
They want you to be a part of the hive.
lydia smith
There's no war.
tim pool
Yeah, there is no war in Ba Sing Se.
adam crigler
You will be assimilated.
tim pool
Resistance is futile.
This is what they want.
They want you... They're reactionaries, right?
So, for those that aren't familiar with the phrase, and a lot of people aren't, that's why I'll define it.
Reactionary is a reference to, I believe, the French Revolution, where the left wing, and that's where left and right comes from, the Jacobins and the left and the revolutionary types, called the right that wanted to support the monarchy reactionaries who reacted to the revolution yeah so today the left is really good at using their they understand the power of semantics and how words shape reality that's why they change definitions of words
And that's why they will call liberal individuals, like freedom-loving individuals, libertarian
individuals, conservatives, reactionaries, to imply that you, in fact, are resisting
the true progress.
When in reality, the left is trying to rewind the clock on everything.
Our understanding of freedom of speech, which was earned in Supreme Court battles.
It wasn't always this way.
We had obscenity laws.
Great Berkeley banner where they march on Berkeley, free speech.
Our modern understanding of free speech was solidified in Supreme Court rulings.
It wasn't always this way.
We had obscenity laws.
We had a ton of stuff that restricted us from speaking.
So then you get, it's just, it's, it's, it's, it's too tiring sometimes, man.
I believe it.
They change the definitions of words, they call you the reactionary, they call you the fascist, but what these people are doing, repealing civil rights law.
adam crigler
That's insane.
tim pool
That's reactionary, okay?
What happened was we had an ideological revolution, that all people are created equal, and we fought very hard for this.
It's very simple.
If you want to repeal a law to go back to the way things were, you're a reactionary.
They call everyone else fascist.
Why?
Because they actually use those fascist tactics.
So they call themselves the not-fascists club, and then when they start doing fascist things, they're like, we're the not-fascists, you moron.
We can't possibly do fascism.
Now they're not necessarily doing fascism, but they've cleverly disguised their reactionary views, which is fascistic, for progressivism.
Think about how very clever it is to say, we oppose racism, therefore we must repeal civil rights law.
adam crigler
It boggles my mind.
People believe it?
I know, and they're actually out there defending it.
How can you defend that?
They think that it's so virtuous, like, oh man, but we're going to get true diversity.
tim pool
I don't think so.
adam crigler
In their head, dude, they're thinking that.
tim pool
Definitely.
Maybe like the grunts and the peons.
adam crigler
Yeah, the people who truly believe it's a good thing, they think it's a good thing.
They think it's a virtue.
tim pool
And this is, you can easily verify, like, the way I see this is very, I believe it's logically, I believe I'm correct, and it's very simple.
First, one of the tactics.
They call the proposition to repeal civil rights the Affirmative Action Amendment.
Right.
And all it does is repeal civil rights.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
That's incredible.
The Democrats realized That they were like, wait a minute, all of the racist things that were really hard to get done.
I know.
Democrats decided they'll pretend not to be racist and then they can start doing all the racist things and no one will stop them.
lydia smith
It works.
adam crigler
And then label this, this bill that we're going to push forward as the affirmative action bill.
tim pool
When literally it just strikes civil rights law.
adam crigler
Yep, exactly.
tim pool
They're reactionaries that want to turn back the clock on our freedoms, our civil rights, while arguing it's you that wants to do it.
Let me tell you something.
When someone on the right, a libertarian, a moderate, politically homeless IDW says individuals deserve freedom no matter what their race, color, creed, national origin, that is progress.
That is us recognizing the fundamental human rights, the unalienable rights of every person that was originally enshrined in the Constitution and we fully realized over the next 100, 200 years.
They're trying to literally repeal those laws to take it back to a simpler time because they're racists.
adam crigler
Right.
So all those crazy Democrat leftists that were yelling at Trump when he was like, make America great again, when Reagan said it, Clinton said it.
Bill Clinton said it for Hillary Clinton in 2008, too.
That blew me away.
I was like, wow, that wasn't even that long ago.
And now they're like, oh, what time do you want to go back to?
And it's like, when our infrastructure was solid.
When pipes in Flint, Michigan were good.
tim pool
There's a graphic that I see a bunch of lefties share.
It's from Robert Reich, I think his name is.
And it shows the great prosperity of 1947 to 1979.
And it's like every class in the country was skyrocketing in wealth.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's a good era, actually.
tim pool
And then, from 1980 till now, only the top 1% has grown, while the middle class has been stagnant.
So when Donald Trump... So I see everyone sharing this.
Like, what happened?
How come we were all doing so... You know, every class was doing so well, and something changed in 1980, and now only the 1% is prospering.
So you're saying you want to make America great again?
You want to go back to the old days?
Yes.
1940s, when the economy was bolstering.
Is that what you're saying?
adam crigler
1950s, 60s.
1950s, 60s.
What happened in the 60s?
Welfare was created also.
We've had this conversation, so I know where you're leading into this.
tim pool
No, no, no.
I mean, I wasn't.
adam crigler
Oh, you want to talk about it, though?
tim pool
What I was going to say is there's a lot of factors that resulted in the middle class stagnation.
Immigration is one.
Feminism is one.
Welfare is one.
But the point I'm bringing up is, when Donald Trump says, make America great again, and they say, when was America great?
I bring you back to all of the leftists who said, remember when we had a 90% tax rate?
Maybe Trump meant that.
Oh, you don't think he did?
I don't either.
adam crigler
Well, Biden's trying to bring back higher taxes.
tim pool
Yeah, that's true.
No, the point is, there was a lot of things that the left claims were better way back when.
And if Trump says he wants to make America great again, then why don't you just be like, oh, that thing you talked about, the tax bracket?
Yeah, that's when America was great.
How about that?
adam crigler
That's actually the point I was trying to get to, so thanks for finishing that for me.
tim pool
Oh, okay, right on.
Well, how about we move on to the escalation?
The escalation.
adam crigler
The escalation.
tim pool
WDRB.com says, LMPD, that's Louisville Metro Police, plan for armed militias to protest downtown Saturday.
And they give us this really nice photo of a member of the black militia group known as the NFAC.
You got a bunch of dudes, they got guns, and I'll tell you what, first and foremost, they are in their legal right to do everything they're doing.
adam crigler
Absolutely.
tim pool
So good for them.
That's first and foremost.
lydia smith
Trigger discipline.
tim pool
Yeah, I mean, seriously, compared to a lot of people, these guys are doing it right.
adam crigler
Well, after the first time that they marched, what was it, like three weeks ago, maybe a month?
tim pool
Yeah, something like that.
adam crigler
I don't know.
So there was a bunch of people talking about, you know, the different people holding guns.
And then there was close-ups on the guns.
And then there was close-ups and calling out on how many of the guns weren't loaded.
Many of the guns weren't, uh... From the NFAC?
Yeah.
tim pool
Interesting.
adam crigler
Weren't, uh, properly, you know, equipped, I guess.
I mean, maybe they did... I don't know that much about guns, you know, myself, but I was reading into it and they were like, there was clearly people who knew what they were talking about guns, talking about it.
tim pool
The important context is that you've got this group.
It's the the not effing around coalition.
They marched through Georgia.
They called out right-wing groups and militias and apparently one of these dudes has posted like a I don't know how you describe it, but anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, you know, stuff in the vein of like black identity extremism and black Hebrew Israelites.
So people are kind of concerned about their ideology, especially gonna be marching around.
But hey, you know, first and foremost, they're allowed to be doing this in America.
Second Amendment applies to them, same as anybody else, if they want to, you know, do their thing.
So long as it's, you know, within the law, I'm not gonna complain.
However, the three percenters are gonna be coming out.
And after these dudes already called out other militias, I have genuine concern for some kind of escalation or conflict.
adam crigler
I really don't want that.
I don't want anyone shooting each other.
tim pool
But I gotta be honest, man.
I've noticed that when I've gone to a lot of protests, be it the left or the right, the armed guys are the most disciplined and typically stop things from escalating.
The issue is the older disciplined guys with training who are like, we don't want an escalation here and kind of calm things down.
They're great.
But what happens when some younger person shows up all rambunctious with a brand new weapon or like when the dude in Chaz just hands some random dude a gun?
adam crigler
Or a brick gets tossed from behind the crowd or, you know, one person not associated with either group comes in and just pops one shot into the air.
tim pool
While pretending to be one or the other.
Exactly.
I think, I gotta be honest man, in my experience, I think even someone firing in the air, you'll see discipline from the guys who are properly trained.
They're not just gonna start aiming and shooting.
adam crigler
Well, what scares me though, on that front, is these not-effing-around crew, they were straight up calling these people to come fight them.
So they weren't, I mean, that's what they were saying.
They're like, come fight us, you know, you're all talk.
And it's like, they're not all talk.
They're not trying to fight you.
That's not what their plan is.
And that seems like that's what their plan is.
tim pool
Perhaps, perhaps.
I can't speak for the NFAC guys.
Okay.
I've actually been on the ground at various protests and actions where the 3%ers have been.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And I've seen them be very, the most disciplined there.
In fact, at one event, it was in Boston, when people were trying to fight, the 3%ers actually pushed the, so they're on the side with the right, the right-wing people.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
When the left-wing people started walking up to the crowd, the 3%ers actually, like, Nice.
held back the right wing side and yelling at them, like, back up, back up now.
Because they're disciplined, they're assertive, and they're like, you're gonna cause problems,
that guy's trying to bait you, you back up.
Because they're gonna keep, like, if the 3% of dudes in Boston,
they knew that if they went up to the Antifa guy and tried pushing him back, like get away from us,
the fight would break out.
The smart thing to do, the disciplined thing to do, was to tell your side to back up
because they're trying to bait you.
So I really do believe that if it really did come to this, if I had to make a bet, I wouldn't say I'd guarantee it.
I'd be willing to bet it would take a lot to get like a three percenter group or one of these right wing militias to engage.
Like even in the event someone fired a few rounds, I bet they would retreat.
I bet they would get behind cover and they'd be like, we're not engaging.
This is not what we want.
I can't speak for the NFAC.
adam crigler
Well, I can't I can't either all I'm never I don't know why and neither do I but I am going directly off of their videos of them right right the camera saying this is our message.
So I'm I'm going off their words.
That's that's where I got my information.
tim pool
Here, let's read a little bit.
They say, groups associated with the 3%er movement and a black militia known as the Not F'ing Around Coalition are expected to face off in Jefferson Square Park on Saturday, along with other people who have, for several weeks, been protesting the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor by police.
adam crigler
Well, maybe they'll all be there together, because everybody wants justice for Breonna Taylor.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Period.
I haven't found one person who doesn't care about that.
tim pool
Yeah, I would say that with 100% accuracy, when I go to people and be like, hey, did you hear about this young woman who was just shot in a no-knock warrant?
And they're like, wow, that's crazy.
Those cops should face justice.
I'll tell you what, though.
In Seattle, there's going to be more riots on Saturday.
And that's why Trump is deploying this tactical team.
Saturday's gonna be bumpin'.
That's, that's tomorrow, man.
It's gonna be, it's gonna be bumpin'.
There's gonna be a lot of live streams.
Things are gonna get crazy across this country.
I hope this doesn't spark any, any, any, any craziness.
Let's read a little bit more.
adam crigler
Same.
tim pool
Major Aubrey Gregory told reporters Thursday that the groups are expected to be armed, but everyone police have spoken with has expressed the desire for peaceful protests.
adam crigler
Good.
tim pool
We have been in contact with both groups coming to Louisville.
And we expect nothing but a peaceful protest this weekend.
This is what I was saying, man.
Even with the tough talk from the dude, I've found that the people at protests who are armed tend to be much more disciplined.
I wouldn't be surprised if both groups were like, no, no, no, no, no.
Nobody wants to get shot.
unidentified
You know what I mean?
tim pool
Some places are a different story, mind you.
Chicago, for instance.
People pull out guns and point them at each other's faces and then somebody gets shot.
to help ensure that police will limit vehicle access around the park, including prohibiting parking on the streets surrounding Jefferson Square Park, and police will use bike rack barriers to create a buffer zone and separate the protesters.
Gregory said police will create a no-go zone on 5th Street to try and keep those people with alternative viewpoints separated.
The department will try not to intervene as long as protesters do not break the law, police have said.
LMPD remains committed to peaceful expression of views under the First Amendment.
That's Jesse Halliday, police spokesman said. As we have done for several weeks,
there will be no need for police intervention as long as there is no threat to personal or public
safety. We will not allow the barricading of streets by non-law enforcement, impeding traffic,
or attempting to threaten or force people not involved in the protest from their intended
destinations. Gregory said the department has been in contact with other law enforcement,
including Kentucky State Police, but have not requested assistance for this weekend.
And Gregory told reporters he spoke with the founder of NFAC, Grandmaster Jay, who said he is coming to Louisville to voice his concern over the death of Taylor, but expected a nonviolent protest.
I take him at his word, as I have no reason not to.
adam crigler
Nice.
tim pool
I think they should march together.
adam crigler
I think so, too.
tim pool
Good point.
They should both show up and both say, we want accountability for people who break the law and commit crimes and take innocence in life.
adam crigler
Absolutely.
tim pool
If they approach this as they're framing it like different factions needing to be divided... Well, that's clearly what they're doing.
Exactly.
That's the potential for conflict because you'll get some antifa dude on one side starting a fight.
If they march together like we saw with Black Lives Matter and the Boogaloo Boys, zero chance for conflict.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
They're together.
adam crigler
And who's Antifa gonna, like, provoke?
You know, if they're going together as proper American citizens exercising their rights, you know, protesting against injustice, you know, what's Antifa gonna do?
Who are they gonna push?
tim pool
Look at what happened in Virginia when all the gun rights advocates came out and Black Panthers showed up.
Everybody had a good time.
And guess what?
They won.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
They pushed back that law, I suppose, in Virginia.
I can't remember the full details.
It's been a while since I covered this, but they had their big peaceful protest.
They actually won.
And different political factions were there, all getting along.
Mostly just like guns rights activists.
I think there was, you know, I'm sure that many of them have different viewpoints, but that was the only real clear ideology.
adam crigler
I got one word for you.
tim pool
What's that?
adam crigler
America.
lydia smith
Absolutely.
tim pool
Yep.
Isn't it funny how peaceful protest works?
adam crigler
Yeah.
Martin Luther King was a strong advocate for peaceful protesting.
tim pool
What have the violent riots wrought?
Opposition to Black Lives Matter?
Escalation of crime.
adam crigler
Ruination of small businesses.
Minority-owned businesses.
tim pool
Yep.
Destruction of wealth for the lower class.
lydia smith
Literal death.
tim pool
And then we get the defunding of police.
They claim victory.
What does that get?
adam crigler
More deaths.
tim pool
Look at New York.
adam crigler
Look at Chicago.
tim pool
It's crazy.
And the activists in New York are coming out saying, bring them back.
adam crigler
Please bring our cops back.
tim pool
So, the riots have generated nothing but chaos, conflict, suffering.
adam crigler
Death.
tim pool
28 dead.
unidentified
28.
adam crigler
I know it's more than that.
tim pool
Well, directly involved in rioting.
adam crigler
Sure, sure.
tim pool
Then you go on to the crime rates that are surging because of this stuff.
Worse.
What have the peaceful protests generated?
At first, peaceful protests resulted in a major show of support for Black Lives Matter.
adam crigler
Yeah, definitely.
tim pool
And now it's all souring.
adam crigler
Well, because at first everyone was like, hey, you know what?
You're right.
We want you to know.
We absolutely think Black Lives Matter, no doubt.
That wasn't even a question on anyone's mind.
Right away, it was like, awesome, Black Lives Matter, for sure, no doubt.
But now we see it's being commandeered by all these, not just one, but there's Antifa that's taking it and using it as a shield.
tim pool
Corporations.
adam crigler
Corporations are using it, right.
They're jumping on the bandwagon.
tim pool
Was the Boston Red Sox, they had like a 250 foot banner?
That's so dumb, man.
You know, I did a video on this earlier, but when A&E cancelled Live PD.
adam crigler
Oh yeah, that's right.
tim pool
This is so crazy, I don't know if you guys saw the story.
It's a $300 million franchise.
And A&E was like, it's a show about cops, we're gonna cancel it.
And now their ratings are down 55%.
adam crigler
Good riddance.
tim pool
Can't have a video showing police in a positive light, can you?
unidentified
Nope.
tim pool
but the revenue across the board is gonna go down.
Can't have a video showing police in a positive light, can you?
adam crigler
Nope. You know the adage, you know?
You know what it is?
tim pool
Get woke, go broke.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
I guess we should make a button.
adam crigler
Get woke, go broke.
I got a few.
Yeah, that's a good one, actually.
It's relevant.
It's happening a lot.
tim pool
Yeah.
We need something having to do with AOC giving bread to people.
Let them eat cake.
adam crigler
Let them have bread.
tim pool
I can't believe she actually said let them eat cake.
You know what I mean?
adam crigler
Wait, she actually said let them eat cake?
tim pool
Figuratively.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
tim pool
Like when she was referencing the shooting violence and crime and she was like, they just want bread.
adam crigler
That's like, literally, Marie Antoinette.
tim pool
The poor people are revolting again, what should we do?
Why don't they just eat bread?
unidentified
Because they don't have any, dude!
tim pool
But hers is a different version of the same thing.
Where it's like, hers is an inversion of it.
Where people aren't trying to get bread, and she goes, we need to give them bread.
It's like, they're shooting each other for unknown reasons.
adam crigler
Yeah, seriously.
Yeah, that's an issue of law and order.
Which is insanity.
I'm seeing it with my own eyes.
tim pool
30 in the morning. Yeah, that's an issue of law and order.
adam crigler
Absolutely. It is. They're trying to claim that Trump is faking all of this, which is insanity.
Yeah. Seeing it with my own eyes.
I'm reading the police reports. It's it's crazy right now in America.
Like, I want law and order.
People are getting killed.
Go ahead.
tim pool
The only conspiracy theory is, I suppose, the black bloc individuals are secretly working for the government.
And so, believe it or not, some people actually believe this.
Because they think the two people who were snatched up were actually informants.
adam crigler
Yeah, we talked about that.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah.
So that's why the cops were like, we're going to get you.
And so they weren't arrested and there was no trace of it.
They weren't brought in for questioning.
They're technically brought in for questioning, but they're cooperating criminal informants or confidential informants.
But I don't I don't think there's any grand conspiracy.
I think the reality is I know I've known a lot of these far left people.
They want people to believe.
They tweet about this.
They're agitators trying to make us look bad.
The protesters are peaceful.
It's like, dude, those moms weren't wearing masks.
They were kicking the door into like it's just a mob.
It's like, this is what mobs do.
It was a really funny story I was reading once, like, I guess it's like an old legend that somewhere in Europe, back in the way olden days of like the 1400s, people were all on a bridge just dancing wildly, like for no reason.
And whenever someone would walk on the bridge, they would succumb to the hysteria and start dancing as well.
And it was just like, it probably, it's a story supposedly about some weird curse, I don't know, but most people just think it was mob mentality.
That people joined in and started doing random things looking weird and silly for no known reason.
adam crigler
I mean, I'm seeing some videos where there is definitely mob mentality and they're just chiming in.
It's creepy.
tim pool
It's getting real creepy.
The fact that they're showing up to people's homes now is one of the most alarming things because it will only be a matter of time before they go in your home.
adam crigler
And that's why that, I don't know if it was the police commissioner or who made that press conference, but he was saying it's like, we've had over 17 of our police officers be doxxed by these Antifa folk.
We don't want, they're going to people's houses.
We know that they are, so we're trying to protect our officers who are trying to protect the citizens who aren't attacking the courthouse.
It's crazy.
tim pool
But this is what we get in the Pacific Northwest if, you know, I mean, I'm pretty sure everybody realized this, especially with like Andy Ngo's coverage.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
That if it was going to start anywhere, this unrest and this wave of whatever is going to be in Portland or Seattle.
We all knew it, you know.
So let's let's jump over to the more, I want to say relatively more pressing China, man.
adam crigler
I mean, it's important.
This is this is serious.
What's going on here?
tim pool

Alright, check out this story we got from CNBC.
FBI arrests Chinese researcher for visa fraud after she hid at consulate in San Francisco.
CNBC reports a researcher who took refuge in the Chinese consulate in San Francisco after allegedly lying to investigators about her Chinese military service was arrested and will appear in court on Monday, according to a senior Justice Department official.
According to court documents unsealed earlier this week in the Eastern District of California, Yuan Tang, a researcher at the University of California, Davis applied for a non-immigrant J-1 visa October 2019.
The visa was issued in November 2019, and Tang entered the U.S.
a month later.
Tang allegedly made fraudulent statements on her visa application by concealing that she served in the Chinese military.
The FBI concluded that Tang was a uniformed officer of the People's Liberation Army Air Force after photographs of her were uncovered on electronic media seized in accordance with a search warrant.
I won't discuss the circumstances of the arrest, said the official who spoke on the condition of anonymity, adding that the individual did not have diplomatic immunity.
The person said that the details of the arrest could be released when the defendant appears before the Eastern District of California Court Monday.
The issue here is that their true status wasn't disclosed by visa application.
The official said, adding that the arrest was not a tit-for-tat move as tensions between Washington and Beijing simmer.
On Thursday, the FBI arrested Tang, who had avoided arrest by taking refuge in the Chinese consulate in San Francisco.
Tang's arrest for alleged visa fraud follows those of three other Chinese researchers in California and Indiana.
The arrests were described as a microcosm of a broader network of individuals in more than 25 cities.
By their very nature, consulates are a base of operations for foreign governments to the U.S., including their intelligence services, and it's understood that there will be some activity here by those services.
Yikes.
But because of their location within the United States and their status of sovereign territory of a foreign country, they cannot be exploited, and the espionage and influence activities run out of a consulate can rise, ultimately, to a level that threatens our national security.
So this is where it's getting spicy, man.
They shut down our consulate in Chengdu.
A senior State Department official said, the arrests and the closure of the consulate in Houston are about targeting nefarious Chinese activity inside the U.S.
adam crigler
No, they straight up called him out for spying on us.
tim pool
Oh yeah, for sure.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I'm just reading the quote.
adam crigler
I know, I'm just bringing more information into the fold here.
here.
tim pool
On their decision to close Chengdu, you're going to have to ask them, the MFA, and how
they picked that, said the person who spoke on the condition of anonymity, referring to
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The official added that the Trump administration was prepared to deal with second and third
order effects in the wake of the consulate closure.
unidentified
What does that mean?
tim pool
I don't know, man.
But when I first heard this, it was disconcerting.
I wonder if the U.S.
got permission to enter sovereign territory to seize a Chinese national.
adam crigler
Yeah, maybe.
Well, I was actually looking into it, and there's their reporting on the Chinese side that those people defected to us, to the U.S.
tim pool
Really?
adam crigler
What?
That's what I'm seeing from some reporters on the Chinese side.
It says here that China's foreign ministry spokesman, Wang Wenbin, said some of the US Chengdu consulate personnel were conducting activities not in line with their identities.
tim pool
And had harmed China's security interests.
adam crigler
Right, but would not elaborate.
And then he goes on to say in an interview that he was like, you know, he was speaking
to the public in China and he was he was basically saying that we made we made the first move
as Americans and we messed up how we were kicking them out of their consulate in Houston
and that that move is basically making them look bad and how dare how dare we and the
friendship that we had between American and China is you know what you no longer
tim pool
what's going on with China in the US reminds me of like you've got this one big brutish
dude and he challenges his little nerdy guy to a fight or whatever.
And the nerdy guy doesn't care about winning by honorable means.
So when the big brutish dude is like, you think that scrawny guy can take me?
I'm the best!
And the scrawny guy just hides in the bushes and takes a wrist rocket and blasts him in the head with a rock and wins.
And the guy goes down.
So, the analogy I'm trying to use here is, so many people keep saying that, oh, China's no threat to the U.S., they're no threat to the U.S.
Do you think that China, realizing that we have this massive technological advantage, would plan for a conflict based on physical force or ground forces?
They're going to target infrastructure, manipulate social pressures, financial institutions.
It is going to be a subversive, manipulative conflict.
adam crigler
Fairly certain that's what's been going on for quite some time.
tim pool
Well, yeah, of course.
Mike Pompeo said it.
They've infiltrated every level of our governments and institutions.
adam crigler
And Barr said it, too.
He was talking about the exact same thing.
tim pool
All these companies that all of a sudden... You know what sickens me?
I'm not going to name the NBA players, but you guys probably know who I'm talking about.
These very, very high profile NBA players who are like, you know, oh, we need a movement and we're going to kneel and we're going to do all these things.
And then when it comes to China, they're like, what's wrong with China?
China's great.
adam crigler
Terrible.
tim pool
That's the scary thing about it.
adam crigler
It's a shame.
It's the money, man.
Greed.
Greed is disgusting.
tim pool
So you have to wonder why it is that China suppresses their population in the way they do with garbage wages, manipulates their currencies, and has these basically massive sweatshops.
You know why?
Man, this is horrifying about collectivism at this scale.
These individuals who are walking off the building at Foxconn to their deaths, that was a big story a long time ago, they put up suicide nets to catch their bodies.
The Chinese government sacrifices people in order to get an edge against us.
So they put these people in crammed garbage apartments, And they pay them trash to make our phones.
That way, American companies can't compete.
Here's what happens.
Phone company says, how much will it cost us to hire labor to build these phones?
They say, well, the total cost per phone will be, you know, $2,000.
Yikes!
That's way too much.
Well, over in China, the total cost will be $100.
Then we can sell them for $1,000 and claim it's cheap.
That's brilliant.
Because they suppress their labor and depress the wages and put these people in these horrifying conditions, we can't compete with that.
That's why Trump wanted tariffs.
That's why he didn't want TPP.
It's why Bernie Sanders originally didn't want TPP.
adam crigler
That's why he wants to bring manufacturing back here.
You know, exactly.
There's so many things in that we can, we can talk about that for a while, but go ahead.
tim pool
Keep going.
The point is what we're seeing from China is they're willing to like lop off their own arm.
If it means they win against us in the long run.
So if you see this stuff, and I see a lot of people in the comments saying things like China is a paper tiger.
They're not strong enough.
They have a lot of people, but they're so weak.
They have one aircraft carrier and it's like, man, what did Sun Tzu say about underestimating your opponent?
I don't remember the exact quote, but you don't.
You don't.
You don't do it.
You win the war before you start it.
There's a bunch of really brilliant quotes from Sun Tzu.
Obviously the art of war.
adam crigler
Fairly certain a thousand paper cuts will still do a lot of damage.
tim pool
Right, death by a thousand cuts.
Listen, man, over the past several decades, that Dylan Radigan rant, this country is being extracted through trade, politics, finance.
That's right.
adam crigler
Yeah, we're not buying American products, so our money isn't staying in America.
It's going outside of America to other countries, weakening us.
tim pool
It's this simple.
adam crigler
That's what Trump wants to do.
tim pool
It's really simple.
If Trump didn't come around, and this is fascinating, especially considering the things I was, you know, my position several years ago, if Trump didn't do what he did with TPP and with American manufacturing, I talked about this years ago, China could snap their fingers and win the war.
You know why?
We don't have medicine.
We don't have masks.
We don't have manufacturing capabilities.
adam crigler
80% of our imports come from China.
tim pool
So here's what happens.
adam crigler
That's what he means by saying, make America great again.
Make America great by providing for ourselves.
That's what he wants to do.
That's what I want to do.
We should all want that.
tim pool
If Trump didn't intervene and the extraction carried on for another several years, we would be two more presidents down the line.
We'd make literally nothing.
The billionaires of the NBA in Hollywood would have all their allegiances in China and all their wealth in China.
And then China, and they would snap their fingers and say, we declare war on you, America.
And we'd be like, oh yeah?
And they'd be like, yeah, what you gonna do?
You can't make anything.
And then we'd be like, oh, okay.
They would cut off our manufacturing because they controlled all of it.
They were shutting down our ability to make things.
adam crigler
But that executive order that he put in, President Trump put in, what is it, last week now?
I know it was starting on Hong Kong, But the wordings that was in there was basically saying if you're connected to the party, if you're funded, if CP is connected through any means, even if you're a bystander and you have been helping them in any way, they can freeze your assets.
So those millionaires and billionaires and all that stuff, it's like, I'm waiting for it.
I'm looking for that day.
tim pool
That was an extremely powerful move.
adam crigler
Yeah, it was.
tim pool
And now you're not going to see it.
But I tweeted about this that I think you've got these billionaires that are lobbying for favorable policies for their interests in foreign companies, not necessarily just in China.
Now they're going to think twice.
If Hollywood puts out a movie and changes symbols for China, Trump can walk up and go, Well, well, well, what have we here?
Ooh, that's a nice couple hundred million dollar revenue stream.
We're gonna take it.
Shut it down.
Thanks, Hollywood.
Something's gotta be done about it.
I don't know to what degree Trump will actually pull things like that off, but you gotta imagine all of these woke billionaires that won't say one word against China will start thinking twice about their business operations.
Think about it.
That executive order was broad, man.
It was like indirectly assisting somebody associated with like, I know.
So you could be a billionaire who owns a company that you don't pay attention to and they make shoes and the shoes are made in, you know, Shenzhen and then all of a sudden, Shenzhen or however you pronounce it.
I can't pronounce it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And then, uh, Trump goes, you're indirectly funding, you know, the owner of that factory, which is a party member.
I'm going to take your stuff.
adam crigler
I think I, I think I clapped when I first read that.
tim pool
Clapped?
adam crigler
Like in your, you're in your room and you're like, I was in my, on my desk.
I was just reading, reading that part.
And I was just like, yes.
tim pool
I jokingly clapped for the microphone, but yeah, man, no, I did.
So maybe to get conspiratorial.
I was talking to somebody the other day, and I was like, think about everything that's happened.
We may have mentioned this on the show.
Everything that's happened has been very fortuitous for us in the event of a war with China.
We've decentralized from our cities.
People are fleeing cities.
People have bought guns like crazy.
Non-essential work has been curtailed, and now people are being given resources to stock up on the things that they choose to get.
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
It's like, it feels like we're gonna go to war soon, you know?
adam crigler
Oh, what is this?
tim pool
Oh, man.
adam crigler
So, well, I mean, we were just kind of talking about this.
I don't want to say that this is fortuitous in our favor, because this is terrible for a lot of Chinese citizens that's going on right now.
But this is the Three Gorges Dam.
So this is from 2017.
So now I'm going to click over.
So this is from 2017.
So now I'm going to click over.
This is from June 24.
So you can see the floodgates are open, and it is releasing.
I mean, this thing is coming apart.
tim pool
But why are they dumping the water out?
adam crigler
Probably because the dam is falling apart, and they need to release the pressure.
tim pool
I thought it was flooding, like overflowing.
adam crigler
Well, that's what it is.
lydia smith
Trying to avoid that.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
adam crigler
So it's flooding downriver.
Now this is July 9th.
unidentified
Whoa!
adam crigler
So this is really a really bad situation, you know, so they're probably... I get it.
This is a serious situation for them.
tim pool
So what you're saying is that the U.S.
is using weather control devices based in Alaska known as HAARP to control... I'm kidding.
adam crigler
You know what town is going to take the biggest brunt of this water?
tim pool
Which dam?
adam crigler
I bet you can guess.
tim pool
Wuhan?
adam crigler
You're absolutely right.
tim pool
No way!
Dude, what is this?
lydia smith
It's so weird.
tim pool
Are we already at war?
Is that what's happening?
adam crigler
It's crazy, man.
And if this dam breaks, it's kind of like a long valley all the way to Wuhan.
So the water won't go anywhere but straight.
So it's going to be like a 100-mile-an-hour, 100-kilometer-an-hour wall.
tim pool
Tsunami.
adam crigler
Tsunami coming from the mountains down just all the way out to sea.
It's terrible it's like it's it's crazy but like China is under some serious pressure right now.
tim pool
I got a question for you.
adam crigler
What's up?
tim pool
If China contacted the United States right now and said, the dam is about to break and everyone in Wuhan will die unless the United States helps us right now and deploys and we can stop this, should the U.S.
intervene to stop the dam from breaking?
adam crigler
Absolutely, without a doubt.
But what about the Uyghurs?
No doubt.
We make it part of the deal.
Yep, absolutely.
We will absolutely help you, but you have to abide by this, this, this, this, and this.
We'll come help you.
No doubt.
tim pool
I gotta be honest.
adam crigler
Tomorrow we'll be there, but you have to stop all this stuff.
You gotta sign these treaties.
You gotta do this.
It's like, we want to help you.
I feel bad for the Chinese citizens that have nothing to do with the CCP.
I've seen lots of them that they hate the CCP.
tim pool
My opinion of the CCP is not high enough to believe they would accept it.
They would look at Trump and he'd go, we'll let them die.
adam crigler
You're right.
That's true.
tim pool
I don't think they're good people.
I think these are nasty authoritarians.
Like I said, man, they'll lop off their own arm if it means getting an advantage against us.
adam crigler
And that should tell you everything you need to know about the CCP.
tim pool
They were welding people into their homes.
Look, man, they literally have concentration camps.
They don't care about their people.
They will not give in to our demands no matter what.
They're probably sitting there and the CCP is like, eh, let them die.
adam crigler
They're probably like, well, we could rebuild Wuhan anyway.
tim pool
Yeah, man.
They got a billion one point four billion people.
They're going to be like, OK, they don't care about the people who work in parts of it.
You know what they were doing in during the Olympics when the Olympics came to China?
They were taking the water from the farmers, the poor farmers.
adam crigler
That's right.
tim pool
Yeah.
These this the Communist Party of China is and has been.
Horrifying.
Like, aren't they now telling people to take down pictures of Jesus in exchange- and to put up Mao?
unidentified
Mao!
tim pool
Like, man, dude.
And that guy was nuts.
adam crigler
Scary.
There's already been 45 million people that have been affected by the flood so far.
45 million people are already, are already like, look at the difference there.
It's insane, right?
tim pool
This is crazy that the water was a lot higher, but they weren't releasing anything.
Now they're trying to like dump as much as they can.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So this is, which one's the latest?
Oh, wow.
June 9th, July 9th.
adam crigler
Yeah, that one.
And I mean, I'm finding, I haven't found this to be true, but there is some people saying that they're diverting the water towards that dam to prevent it from damaging other areas that are key.
Components.
But that dam is the power of three nuclear plants.
That's a lot of energy.
Apparently.
Not necessarily for the people that are downstream, but for probably a huge portion surrounding that whole area.
tim pool
So check this out.
This is from Taiwannews.com.tw.
On Tuesday, the Chinese financial news site Kaixing Lanyan released a controversial video that simulates the devastating flooding that would occur if the vaunted Three Gorges Dam collapsed.
The video shows the path the wall of water might take.
It includes an estimate of the speed, depth, and reach of the floodwaters all the way to Wuhan.
The video starts out by stating the height of the dam is 181 meters above sea level.
Its length is 2,355 meters, and the normal reservoir level is 175 meters,
with a capacity of 39.3 kilometers cubed.
unidentified
Oh, wow!
Is this the video?
adam crigler
Do they have it?
tim pool
I don't think they have the video.
Once the dam breaks appear as the animated video shows the dam disintegrate underwater.
unidentified
Do is this the video? Do they have it? I don't think that's it's not there now.
tim pool
No. Wow. They said as the distance as the distance from the Three Gorges Dam to the
downstream city of Yicheng is only 50 kilometers. The video predicts that within 30 minutes after
the dam breaks, Gezhoba...
I know.
Wow.
Oh, is this it right here?
Maybe.
I haven't, uh, I haven't seen this.
unidentified
Oh, here we go.
tim pool
A flood surge 20 meters in height would strike I-Chang at a speed of 70 kilometers an hour and bury it under 10 meters
of water.
Yikes, man.
adam crigler
I know.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
Oh, is this it right here?
adam crigler
Maybe.
I haven't, uh, I haven't seen this.
tim pool
Oh, here we go.
adam crigler
Oh, yeah, I guess so.
tim pool
Here we go.
So for those that are listening, just chose the damn break.
I can't read Chinese, so I can't tell you what they're saying.
And then it shows the water.
Wow, dude, it just wiped out a city.
adam crigler
Yep.
That's the valley I was talking about.
tim pool
So we can see the dam waters are flooding down the river and now it just slammed into another city.
adam crigler
I think that's Wuhan.
tim pool
Yeah.
And now it's wiping out.
I'm not sure if it is or not, but it literally will just wipe out the entire cities and fill them with water.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
So I wonder what's going on, man.
lydia smith
Why did they build cities there?
tim pool
Because they build them near water.
adam crigler
Well, the dam was probably built.
Yeah.
And then the river shrank.
tim pool
And then people started building.
adam crigler
And they're like, oh, we can live in this area now.
tim pool
That's crazy.
There was a video I did on this place in, I think it's called St.
Thomas in Nevada.
I could be wrong.
But it was an old town, and then when they built the dam, it was the inverse.
When they built the Hoover Dam, water started to fill up on the other side I guess, and it flooded the whole area, and so they just abandoned it.
And now when the drought hit in the past few years, you could actually walk out and go to where the old foundations of the city used to be.
lydia smith
I remember that video.
tim pool
Yeah, man.
They're facing some serious trouble.
And I have to wonder if a lot of what they're doing might be acts of desperation because of it.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
There's a lot of desperation.
Or maybe there's secretly a war going on we don't know about.
Maybe the whole goal of modern information age warfare is to prevent people from learning what's really happening.
adam crigler
I mean, that sounds pretty accurate.
tim pool
Yeah, but like, you know, I say things like, how would you do it?
How would you be able to pull it off?
And I think the reality is, there's probably things we don't know about in their technology.
They've probably got crazy tech we haven't yet, you know, seen publicly.
adam crigler
You think that's what all this talk about, you know, not from this earth, crafts that they found, you know?
Like, who knows?
Just because we didn't make it doesn't mean, like, another country could have made it or something.
I don't know.
tim pool
For those that were following this, a Pentagon consultant said that they have vehicles that were made off-world, not of this Earth or something.
adam crigler
Yeah, I'm gonna have to see that before I believe it.
tim pool
Yeah, I think I actually have a story for the National Review.
Pentagon consultant briefed senators on discovery of off-world vehicles not made on this earth.
The reality is he just said he concluded they're off-world vehicles.
So I want to keep the focus on what's going on with China, to be honest, because the UFO stuff is the same old narrative.
But here's the thing.
In all likelihood, whatever they discovered, I don't understand.
I mean, he's an astrophysicist, so I defer to him, but why wouldn't the first assumption be, what has China invented?
You know, a long, long time ago, the bow and arrow was like the pinnacle of weapons technology.
adam crigler
It changed the world.
tim pool
And when properly used on horseback, you were undefeatable.
Amazing.
You'd run in and like, doom, doom, just arrow, arrow, arrow.
You won the war, like that.
And we've continually advanced our weaponry.
The most powerful weapons that we know of, nuclear weapons, and more and more powerful and bigger and bigger.
But is that really the most effective way to win a war?
It's not.
Information manipulation is.
adam crigler
It's true.
tim pool
In which case, it's not surprising to see DDoS attacks, major hacks by the Chinese government, and cyber warfare be the true warfare that we see today.
adam crigler
Or mental manipulation that take it a step further.
tim pool
Like when you see weird companies investing in news organizations in the United States from foreign governments, and only some of them get called out.
You know, Russia Today is complete fake news, but Al Jazeera, that's good.
lydia smith
Yeah, fine.
tim pool
Same thing.
And even, I mean, to be fair, even the CBC and the BBC, foreign companies broadcasting in the U.S.
do not have our best interests.
They're going to say things the way they want them to be portrayed, for their interests, not ours.
I don't know what you do about it, but I'll tell you what.
We have Xinhua in the United States, and if you go to Times Square, I don't know if they still do, but for a long time, like, one of the tallest advertisements was a Xinhua advertisement.
That's the Chinese state news agency.
Literally Chinese propaganda.
It's like, you don't run a company in China unless it's the government.
Like, they control it, you know?
adam crigler
Well, they're starting to build their own International Space Station, because they want their own outpost in space.
And it's like, I'm pretty happy that we have a space force now, because that's going to be a thing.
Very soon.
I mean, it is a thing already.
The whole space race was because of man going into space.
Well, we've been there.
We've been occupying space for over 20 years.
That's amazing.
tim pool
Look, if China's going to build a space station, I say good.
adam crigler
You know why?
unidentified
Why?
tim pool
Competition.
adam crigler
OK.
tim pool
Space race.
adam crigler
We've been talking about needing a new space race and that could potentially be it.
I mean, they've announced it.
Who's talking about the space race?
Who's talking about China making a, you know, a space station?
tim pool
What are we?
adam crigler
I mean, I guess I am right now.
tim pool
When are we going to the moon?
Do you know?
adam crigler
Like Trump's 2024, that was the plan.
I mean, I haven't.
It still is a plan that I've been reading up on.
Artemis is still planning 2024, so.
tim pool
Doesn't China want to go to the moon now?
adam crigler
I don't know about them, but I know that our plan is to make a space station that's going to orbit the moon, as well as a ground base also.
So there's going to be two.
So you can link up with the one that's orbiting the moon, and then you can go down to the ground.
tim pool
Could you imagine living on the moon in that low gravity?
adam crigler
Yep, I can.
tim pool
We're going to have to build massive biodomes.
Have you read anything about the Biodome stuff, though?
adam crigler
I've been to the Biodome in Arizona.
tim pool
Is it successful?
adam crigler
It is and it isn't.
I mean, yeah.
Yeah, it was.
They were in there for two years.
Wow.
tim pool
Well, that's good enough.
adam crigler
Sealed?
Well, and they're in the space station right now.
They've grown lots of different plants.
They have got wheat growing.
tim pool
And they do recycle moisture.
They recycle air.
But you still need to replenish supplies.
adam crigler
True.
So they still need Earth to like... Starship, Elon Musk, you're a boss.
The world needs you.
And we appreciate you.
tim pool
Yeah.
So reusable.
I have a feeling that we're going to be doing, you know, moon missions a lot.
adam crigler
Definitely.
Definitely.
tim pool
I wonder is like, do we have to do we have to worry about the amount of fuel we have to use to make these missions last in the long run?
Do we need a better means of conveyance?
unidentified
Definitely.
tim pool
So, you know, I think about the current way that we we get off planet burning hard and liquid fuels.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I mean, do we can we make infinite supplies of that stuff?
adam crigler
That's something I mean, obviously, I'm not a rocket scientist, you know, so I'm not sure exactly.
But I mean, Elon Musk is the he's think about what Tesla has done.
You know, you see the new semi trucks that they're they're sick looking.
Have you seen the new trucks that they're coming out with?
I think so.
Not like the the cyber truck.
I'm talking about like the semi semi driver.
Yeah, they're beasts, but it's they're they're awesome and they're not automated.
So they're, you know, they're still going to be humans driving around.
It's going to be awesome.
That's good for, you know, the workforce in America.
And but but you think about what that's going, you know, with batteries, the new the new batteries that they're coming out with.
tim pool
Solid state batteries.
adam crigler
Right.
And then, you know, the the solar that we have.
I mean, who knows?
Who knows the future of power?
You know, and that's really the key.
Actually, I'm actually talking to a couple of people that are working towards that.
tim pool
Batteries and stuff?
adam crigler
Just like nuclear power and... I'm just saying we need... Just the future of energy.
Because, well, that's what you're talking about.
Like, getting off this planet is escaping gravity.
So how are we going to do that?
tim pool
Antigrav.
unidentified
Well, sure, if we... I'm sure everybody's trying to figure that out.
tim pool
You know what I mean?
adam crigler
Yeah, it would be wonderful if we can have antigrav technology.
tim pool
Yeah, man.
Yep.
adam crigler
That would be wonderful if that's what they drop in this Pentagon briefing.
Like, well, everybody, it's anti-gravity.
We've discovered it.
And it's like, yes!
Like, that would be amazing.
That would fundamentally change human beings.
tim pool
Who's that dude?
The guy who revealed the Area 51 stuff?
You know what I'm talking about?
lydia smith
Bob Lazar?
tim pool
Bob Lazar.
If I cross my fingers that he's telling the truth.
adam crigler
I mean, I saw that documentary that he put out.
tim pool
It's... I'm not a fan.
adam crigler
I mean, I didn't get enough information.
I need, like, real source information.
Statistics and actual experiments that work that I've seen.
It's like, I can't do hearsay anymore.
One thing that being on the show with you, I don't listen to hearsay.
Someone says, hey, this is the case.
I go, where's your information?
Source it.
If I don't get this is exactly where it's from, I'm like, get out of here.
You just went down a couple of notches.
tim pool
And check this out.
Even when I try to keep my news to credible sources, like that Vox article we read earlier, Vox is not a credible source.
But they claim it is.
lydia smith
It is, though.
tim pool
Yeah, but neither is NPR, neither is the New York Times.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
They're all lying about this stuff.
adam crigler
You're absolutely right.
That's why that... It's broken, man.
That video that I'm seeing of these celebrities going around, you should do your own research, everybody.
Check multiple sources.
If this mainstream media, you should just check the other mainstream media.
And if they're all saying the same thing, then that's probably what's happening.
It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
No, no, no.
Follow it to the source of the river and see where the river's coming from.
That's what you need to do.
So what they're teaching is not how to do your own research.
That's inaccurate.
tim pool
Let me give you an analogy.
adam crigler
He pisses me off, though.
tim pool
Let me give you an analogy.
Based on how they described it, you see a flow of water.
And you're like, ah, there's water.
And one person goes, eh, I'm thirsty, I'm gonna drink it.
And you're like, but we should probably figure out where the water's coming from.
Well, look over there, there's water over there, right?
Must be good.
That's what they're... So what you do is, you walk upstream and what do you find?
adam crigler
Hey look, there's a bloated dead body.
tim pool
An elephant taking a leak into a, you know what, into a trench.
adam crigler
That's way more fun.
I should have went with that.
tim pool
That's elephant urine.
adam crigler
I look over my shoulder and there's the dude drinking elephant urine.
tim pool
And he's like, all good.
And you're like, bro, bro.
And he's like, what?
That's elephant piss.
lydia smith
No, don't tell him.
unidentified
Shut up.
tim pool
You're fake news.
adam crigler
Fake news.
And you're like, oh, dude.
I'm just like, OK.
tim pool
And you take a picture.
And you walk back and go, look at the photo.
I'm not looking at your dumb photo, dude.
I don't need you to show me.
I know it's water.
I drank it.
And you're like, yeah, I'm just gonna keep going up.
adam crigler
Oh my goodness.
tim pool
That's what it's like every day.
adam crigler
Every day.
I know I'm swimming in that way up trying to upsweet ups.
tim pool
Swim up that stream.
unidentified
Swim up the stream to get to the source.
lydia smith
Pass the elephant.
tim pool
That's actually a better analogy.
It's a river and you jump in it and you're swimming to find the source and it's a field of elephants all simultaneously just pissing in a trench.
And you're like, ah, man.
But you had to swim through it.
adam crigler
There's a tiny little stream of fresh water.
Right, and you can see it, but you have to like get through the elephants.
unidentified
Gotta swim through the elephants first.
tim pool
Right past them.
lydia smith
Disappointing analogy, I like it.
adam crigler
It was a rhino!
No, it was a hippo!
tim pool
Another way to explain it, though, is you swim upstream and there's one guy and he goes, it's water.
And you're like, have you gone further upstream?
No, but I'm sure it's water.
And then the guy downstream says, well, that guy upstream says it's water, so it must be water.
And all the people in the village are like, look, those three guys all upstream said it was water.
And you're like, I made it to the source.
It is about a hundred elephants pissing in the trench.
adam crigler
And then they're going to be like, whoa, I need a source.
tim pool
No, they say, well, why should I believe you?
Those three people said it was water.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
Yeah.
I checked.
I checked my sources.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
And then the problem is, you know, my first reaction is, well, why don't I just not drink from it?
I'll be okay.
Right.
Except the mayor has announced based on the information of these men, they're going to replace their new plumbing system with the great new supply of water.
And you're like yelling, stop, stop.
No, we can't do this.
And they're like, no.
You're a conspiracy theorist, you're fake news, and they don't believe you.
And that's where we are.
And you're desperately trying to tell people to stop drinking the elephant's urine, but they just don't care.
They're like, you're fake news.
If what you're saying was true, then other people would be saying it.
unidentified
And you're like, okay.
tim pool
All right.
adam crigler
Fine, drink the elephant urine.
tim pool
It's even better.
The guys upstream who are insisting it's water have awards for telling you the water is water.
They're like, well this golden award I got paid for because I announced that this stream was water.
adam crigler
This is a Pulitzer.
I had to apply for it.
tim pool
We need an un-Pulitzer.
There was that article that those close to the president say he has no one close to him.
adam crigler
The Pulitzer, man.
Come on.
tim pool
I don't want to sully my name with mocking people like the Razzies.
But there's that article from Huffington Post.
Those close to the president say he has no one close to him.
And like, my head exploded when I saw that.
It was like, fake news.
You know what it is?
A lot of it is just there's really, really dumb people in this world.
And they're now taking over news organizations.
adam crigler
Yep, exactly.
tim pool
And what do you do to stop them?
adam crigler
And social media.
For example, I just caught something in chat that I had to just check.
tim pool
What is it?
adam crigler
King free speech just got suspended on Twitter.
I checked him earlier when we talked about him.
I was like, oh yeah, there it is.
He's the dude from Portland who was like trying to stop Antifa for breaking it down.
tim pool
You got him banned.
adam crigler
And I just checked his Twitter account.
Suspended.
It's not banned, it's suspended.
I don't know what the difference is.
tim pool
As soon as you mentioned it, they dug into it and they nuked him.
adam crigler
So I mean, why am I not nuked then?
tim pool
I don't know, man.
adam crigler
I'm sure if they got rid of him, they'd want to get rid of me.
tim pool
They're careful to get rid of people who are in higher profile positions.
They go for people before they get too big.
So you may have jumped the line by getting a bunch of followers real quick.
Look, when they banned Adam's video where he announced he was supporting Trump, it's now got over 900,000 views on YouTube.
adam crigler
Our video just reporting on it.
So not even the original video of me saying what we were saying.
tim pool
The original video did well.
And then once they banned it, it was at 2.4 million views.
There were actually a couple different uploads.
They all get deleted.
And then we do a segment, because I'm like, I'm not going to stand for that.
We're going to talk about it.
Now that video has 900,000.
That's why they avoid it.
So this guy, they're probably thinking, no one's going to notice if we get rid of him quickly.
Well, we noticed.
Someone pointed out in chat.
What was his user handle?
adam crigler
How long ago was it?
It's been an hour since we talked about him.
tim pool
How many followers did he have?
adam crigler
I don't know.
KingFreeSpeech?
KingFreeSpeech.
Let me see if I can find him on Instagram.
My original video that I saw was on It's Not Even Up Here Anymore.
tim pool
What is?
adam crigler
So when I, when I searched for him, there was the Twitter account and the Instagram account.
The Instagram account, I don't even see it anymore.
tim pool
On Google?
adam crigler
Yeah.
Well, no, I use DuckDuck, but it showed, you know, there was the Twitter account, which I see, and I clicked and it's suspended.
And the Instagram account was there before an hour ago.
tim pool
Pull up his Instagram.
adam crigler
Let me see if I can find it.
I don't have Instagram.
tim pool
This is the true thing about cancel culture and social media and how they censor people.
What people don't realize, they're like, oh, only a small handful of people got suspended.
And you're like, that's not true.
It was a small handful of high profile people.
There's actually tens of thousands, if not more, dozens who have been banned who are
not very high profile.
lydia smith
They don't get any attention.
tim pool
And they get no attention, yeah.
Most of these people who get suspended have a few hundred followers, like a normal person, and they get suspended.
They can't do anything about it.
I've gone to parties where I've met people.
We did an event and one guy was like, I had 300 followers and I got suspended.
I don't know why.
adam crigler
He's still on Instagram.
tim pool
He's still on Instagram.
adam crigler
So go follow him.
Go follow this guy.
tim pool
To be fair, maybe he tweeted something and they suspended him for it.
adam crigler
Yeah, who knows?
tim pool
But I'll tell you this, man.
I've seen this story played over and over again.
Someone goes and does something, they don't break any rules, and they get nuked before you realize it.
And there's nothing you can do about it.
I'm pretty sure Twitter knows what they're doing.
They've skewed the idea of acceptable social opinions So far to the left that even just under half of far leftists are scared to speak their opinions.
Now, one funny thing is I will mention this too.
When we did that segment on the Cato Institute that found that half of the far left, slightly less than half, is scared to speak up their opinions, somebody commented saying, then they must have even more extreme opinions than we know of.
And I'm thinking like, Yeah, I'd imagine if they were on the far left, maybe they would actually be further left than we realize.
Or authoritarian or extremist.
adam crigler
Oh man, and what I think of them, they're way over there.
tim pool
Flying knots, man.
adam crigler
I can't even see them.
I can't see them from where I am.
Maybe they're all the way right now.
I don't even know.
tim pool
It's this weird leftist identitarianism.
And they embrace it.
They love it.
They are evil racists.
adam crigler
They're part of a family now.
Reactionaries.
They've gotten their click.
Finally.
Finally they've got a collective and they're a part of something.
When little did they know, America's a great thing to be a part of that they don't even realize.
I love this country.
tim pool
Well, they want to destroy it.
And I think it's the only thing they really want to do is destroy.
It's a chaotic destructive force that has been growing.
And unfortunately, and I hate to say it, but it's true, liberalism has allowed it to, has fostered it, has allowed
it to grow.
lydia smith
That's one of its weaknesses.
unidentified
It is.
tim pool
I say this all the time, that because we accept free speech and freedom and individual liberties, we allow collectivists and evil people an opportunity to grow and spread their ranks.
It's just a reality.
And I won't abandon those principles.
We just have to make sure that those principles can overcome these evil people.
lydia smith
You know where I think this came from?
I think this came from our religious roots.
I think this came from Christianity, because I've heard it said from multiple different sources that Christianity and religion like that contains the seeds of its own destruction because it's fostering curiosity and it's fostering a search for truth.
So when you start to look for truth in science, you're planted the seeds of your own destruction.
You're going to undermine religion.
adam crigler
Well, look at China right now.
They're getting rid of religion.
You're not allowed to be religious in China anymore.
They're not just getting rid of Jesus and telling people everything.
Yeah, they're squashing all religion.
That's insane.
What's going on in China right now?
tim pool
Well, that's what the concentration camps are for the Uyghurs.
adam crigler
Yep, exactly.
tim pool
How about we hop over to them super chats?
Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't already, it is imperative that you smash the like button.
adam crigler
That's right.
tim pool
Smash it!
unidentified
Smash!
tim pool
Subscribe, notification bell, and more importantly, share the show if you really do like it.
Sharing.
We will never be able to compete with the likes of CNN.
adam crigler
Whoa, whoa.
I don't know, man.
You think too little of yourself.
tim pool
Let me clarify.
I mean in the immediate time frame.
Eventually CNN will collapse under the weight of its failures and run out of money and then they'll come to us for jobs and we'll say no.
It reminds me of that line from Watchmen with Rorschach in the beginning and he's like, the hordes of scum, disgusting journalists Yeah.
unidentified
who failed at their job will come to us and say, please employ us.
And I'll look down and say, no.
tim pool
I look forward to that day.
In order to get there, you're gonna have to share this podcast with people
adam crigler
I just realized it wasn't spinning.
It's almost like sacrilege.
tim pool
Our marketing budget is zero, but the concurrent viewers clicking share and sharing the video is a more powerful marketing budget than CNN could ever muster.
adam crigler
So thank you.
tim pool
Nobody wants to share CNN stuff.
Well, let's read some here Super Chats.
Crown Mike says, The media needs to have an oversight committee, the same as the police do.
They need to be held liable for slander and unsourced treasonous rhetoric.
Well, they need to be held accountable for libel and slander for sure, but we gotta be careful because the First Amendment means bad people say bad things sometimes and they get away with it.
Gotta be careful.
Ian Hall says three purposes for the super.
One, beanie for the cat.
Oh, that's a good idea.
Two, boogaloo kit for the cat.
Very good idea.
And three, new Birkenstocks for Soy Jesus.
His have to be getting ready.
adam crigler
Only if they're from Sweden.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Lauren says, If Native American reservations are tax-free, why aren't
American companies engaging them?
Also, China is weaponizing dams.
They've created droughts in neighboring countries by manipulation of water flow.
Every neighbor of China hates them.
adam crigler
Yeah, I actually talked about the fact that I think they were engaging India.
I didn't know this for a fact, but I felt like it was because of the water sources that were from the mountains there.
I mean, water is going to be the most important commodity in the future.
We need water to survive.
Yep.
tim pool
Water wars, bro.
adam crigler
It wouldn't surprise me that they're actually doing that because I mean, I don't remember what documentary I was, I was digging into, but it was about water.
Like it goes into Mexico and talks about Mexico city and their, their issues that they're dealing with, with water, which is a serious issue also.
But it also talks about Pakistan and India and how they've, they've been feuding over water sources and how it comes from the mountains.
And that's where China is fighting India, right?
That's where they've been fighting.
I don't know if it's continuing on, but.
tim pool
One day.
We will look back and laugh about how we used to flush fresh water down the toilet.
And you're going to look at me and be like, is it true, Grandpa?
You would flush fresh water down the toilet?
That's right.
Now pass me a $30 bottle of water.
Thank you.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Yep.
Benjamin the Rogue.
This one's for you, Adam.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Adam, my girlfriend said that Tim inviting you onto TimCast has got to be the best and worst thing that's happened to you this last year.
It's definitely been a wild ride of elephant liquids.
adam crigler
Honestly, it's just been the best because I'm all about moving forward in life, and I don't look back.
I always try to plot the path forward, and I feel like that's what a lot of people need to do.
They need to stop complaining about the past and just looking at the past, because that's what a lot of these people are doing.
They're looking backwards and complaining, walking backwards, yelling at the past, instead of looking forward and seeing what to do.
They think that that's what they're doing, but it's not what they're doing.
So coming on the show, becoming politically aware, I guess would be the best way to put it, or not even politically.
I'm looking into a lot of things.
I've never been more into space.
I've always loved space, but now I'm starting to really understand a lot more about it.
I'm following everything that's happening, and it's great.
I would never go back.
tim pool
I look forward to getting off this pale blue dot and getting onto a pale red dot at some point.
That sounds fun.
adam crigler
You'd move to Mars?
Or at least go visit?
It depends on the level of... I don't know if in our lifetime we'll have... Dude, I'm sure.
Look at technology advancements over the past hundred years.
And population growth.
We're going to occupy Mars soon.
tim pool
But I mean like what we have back and forth trips.
adam crigler
I think so.
I think there's going to be major breakthroughs over the next couple decades.
It's going to be amazing.
tim pool
That would be nice.
adam crigler
Yeah.
I truly believe it.
tim pool
Let's see.
Gielle says, thanks for the hard work Tim and crew.
Have you seen Trump's four executive orders on lowering drug costs he signed this afternoon?
What are your thoughts on it?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I did see that he did that.
I don't know a whole lot about it, though.
Did you see?
adam crigler
I haven't read through them yet, so I like to read things.
I was doing a lot of editing today, so I kind of took a little break.
I actually uploaded my Trump, Donald Trump deep dive from last Saturday.
I had to take it down for a few things.
I re-uploaded it today, and so I missed that.
But I did see it, so I'm excited because that's amazing.
We need access to these things.
tim pool
I have to read it because I'm curious what the executive authority over drug prices would be.
adam crigler
Yeah, good point.
tim pool
Maybe something to do with the ACA and how we can change things maybe.
Cole says, every single house on my block was robbed or vandalized.
People came down from KC and looted the place.
When will the madness end?
Whoa, where?
adam crigler
Where's that?
Kansas City?
tim pool
That Kansas City?
People came down from Kansas City?
That's crazy.
adam crigler
KC, that's what makes it, I don't know.
tim pool
Josh in Jesus says, guys, I've always thought that Britney Pettibone and the two Laurens, Chen and Southern, basically invented the space for young conservative women that is now so huge online.
Do you agree?
Um, I'm not entirely sure.
adam crigler
Lydia's shaking her head.
lydia smith
I don't really think so, because I think there have always been conservative women.
I actually found a conservative women's group just a little bit ago that focused on women on campus, which are like the literal tiniest minority you can possibly imagine, if you consider how liberal most young women are.
So I'm glad that the Laurens and Brittany give conservative women a voice online, but I think that they're out there.
They're just busy.
They're living life and doing stuff.
adam crigler
Working.
lydia smith
Yeah, and working.
adam crigler
Working towards the future.
lydia smith
Exactly, which is a good thing to do.
But I'm happy to have those ladies.
tim pool
We have a great super chat.
Mark says, Hey Pim, have you seen that interview by Bori Yezminov about useless savants preventing our nation from becoming a hip country with free stuff?
Huge fan of Eve and Liam.
unidentified
That was great.
lydia smith
Excellent.
tim pool
Yes, yes.
Those useless individuals preventing our country from truly becoming a great nation of free stuff.
adam crigler
Wait, what was that interview again?
tim pool
Buri, Buri?
adam crigler
Buri Yezminov.
Buri Yugunov.
tim pool
Krom Mike says, I live in Washington State.
Thank you for being reputable and giving me a safe haven in the midst of true insanity.
Yeah, thank you for speaking up, if that's what you're alluding to.
I appreciate you.
Yeah, pretty much on a lot of issues, I would say.
adam crigler
But I think at a certain point now, I think the desperation of the Democrats has cleared the fog for a lot of issues.
tim pool
you.
Tlaib says Trump 2020, Tim is a fence sitter, still love you though.
Yeah, pretty much on a lot of issues I would say.
But I think at a certain point now, I think the desperation of the Democrats has made,
has cleared the fog.
Yeah.
adam crigler
For a lot of issues.
For a lot of people.
tim pool
Yep.
Also.
Yeah, that's why Trump, you know, Trump's approval in Rasmussen is tied now.
Rasmussen, like a week ago, had Trump down 10 points.
Today, it's approval and disapproval are tied, even.
According to Rasmussen, Trump's approval among black voters is 43%.
Whoa, that's really good, isn't it?
If that's true, Trump is going to win in a landslide, guaranteed.
It's just Rasmussen, though.
Now, here's the issue.
People say Rasmussen is biased towards the president.
Certainly, Rasmussen tweets are very biased in favor of, like, the right, I suppose.
But they often go back to their methodology, and they were one of the most accurate polls, if not, like, the most accurate, in 2016.
They got the margin correct.
Hillary .2 points up and all that stuff.
So if their tracking is correct right now, and I think, look, when you look at the opposition to Black Lives Matter going up since the riots.
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
And then you see Rice Reason saying Trump's approval is starting to go up with the law enforcement.
Wow, that correlates.
So we can only make assumptions because we don't have a complete picture.
We just have these tidbits.
Sounds legit.
adam crigler
And the media is just trying to escalate and make people afraid even more.
It's too late.
It's too late, media.
It's too late.
The veil has been lifted.
We all see you.
tim pool
Well, we do.
And we try hard every day.
adam crigler
It's happened, man.
People are waking up.
tim pool
This is why it's very important that you guys share, not just the live show, because the live show is more like it's raw, so you don't know what you're going to get, but we put up the segments the next day.
So listen, you'll see this show and the title of this is Democrats Lose Case Against Feds, Judge Says Trump Can Keep Operating in Portland.
If you share that, people are going to be like, I'm not super interested in what that means necessarily.
But we did a segment about how the media lies about Trump the other day that I think went up.
Did it go up today?
The Bloomberg one?
Yeah, I think so.
If you share a segment like that specifically, you can be like, listen to these guys talk about how the media lied and you'll understand.
That's what we hope for, that people will finally realize.
It is a combination of gross ineptitude and willful deception in the media.
And we get to swim in the muck and the mire trying to figure out what's really going on.
And even we don't get it right all the time.
unidentified
It's true.
lydia smith
The elephant urine.
tim pool
Elephant urine.
lydia smith
It's a good time.
tim pool
We're swimming through elephant urine.
adam crigler
When I see people arguing, you'll find them everywhere.
I'm sure you've been involved in these arguments with people.
I mean, if you're online, the easiest thing you can do is be like, I don't need to explain everything.
Here's everything that I've learned from these guys.
We sit and talk about it.
We do the work for you.
So here, drop it down.
Watch us.
A lot of time.
You get those people.
I don't need to watch that to know that this is water instead of elephant urine.
tim pool
Or they just plug their ears and go, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah.
adam crigler
But every so often you get those people that are like, all right, I'll watch it.
Yep.
I'll check it out.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
So share, you know, share those videos.
Exactly.
And if, you know, and it's, they're very clearly labeled, so you can check it out.
tim pool
And you can do funny things.
Like if someone says, claims to have watched it, you can say, the point he made over it, like at the nine minute 17 mark was really interesting because, you know, what did you think about that?
And they'll be like, oh, uh, I don't know.
Let me check.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
I'll have to watch it.
lydia smith
Yeah.
adam crigler
Sure.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
Use that.
tim pool
Dean Badger says, if people are afraid to say they support Trump, might they be afraid to vote for him?
Because if he loses, the left might say, okay, let's find out who voted for him.
Time for re-education or worse.
It's possible too.
More importantly, Trump's donations are way lower than they should be.
Because donations are public record.
And somebody made a map of Trump donors.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
They are trying to scare people into not even donating to Trump.
adam crigler
Well, it doesn't matter.
They're all voting for him anyway.
Are you voting for him?
lydia smith
I haven't disclosed that or decided, but I don't have a lot of options, do I?
adam crigler
I think you're voting for him.
lydia smith
We'll see what happens.
adam crigler
Whatever.
lydia smith
There's a little time yet.
adam crigler
You both are.
lydia smith
Yeah, we'll see what happens.
adam crigler
I know I am.
Proudly.
tim pool
Cole asks, Tim, are you getting any attachments for your newly acquired firearms?
I mean, probably, but the first thing we had to do is we're relocating to a bigger facility.
And then once we do that, Yeah, 22s are fun to shoot.
And and you know practice and stuff. I did get a nice 22 just a rifle just for the sake of target, you know fun
at the range and stuff This was recommended to me. So maybe we'll see what the
adam crigler
experts recommend. Yeah, 22s are fun to shoot Yeah, just about targets. That's yeah, that's what I was
tim pool
told. I Mean super chill is a weapon, you know, but it's you know
Matt H says live in Louisville look forward to the feds getting here
Never thought I'd say that as a libertarian being the only blue district in a sea of red
The derangement is tenfold here. These people need a wake-up call
Yeah Well, share the news with them.
You know, talk to them.
And always remember, be polite.
Don't insult, and if they don't accept it... Like, I'll tell you what, man.
Think about this.
This is why I always think about when I'm getting into arguments on Facebook or whatever.
Somebody will start screaming, and they'll yell, and they'll insult, and I'll never do that.
You know why?
Other people will see the thread.
And if they see you saying, I'm sorry you're upset, I didn't mean to upset you, and the other guy says, F you, you fascist or whatever, then people are gonna come in and be like, this guy's crazy, this guy's being nice.
And it's gonna make them be like, I'd rather talk to the guy who's nice.
Now, I've talked about this all the time because Trump supporters learned this a long time ago.
The analogy, and this is not even an analogy, this is literal reality, if you walk up to Antifa, Like, let's say you walk up to a bar, and you're in Washington, D.C., and there's Antifa cross-street protesting.
Inside the bar is a bunch of, you know, Trump supporters drinking.
You walk up to the Antifa people, and they'll be like, Who are you with?
Who are you with?
What are you doing here?
What do you want?
Who are you?
You walk over to the Trump side, and they'll be like, Yo, come over and have a beer!
I'll get your first round!
Come have a conversation.
What's going on, buddy?
It's that kind of attitude.
That's the kind of attitude you need to have.
Be nice to people.
Don't be Antifa.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Let's see.
Breton says, headed out to go camping up in their mountains of Idaho for the weekend.
Yes, stay out unless you're cute, Tim.
Hope you three have a great weekend and we'll catch up with this show Monday.
Will do.
unidentified
Thank you.
adam crigler
Righto.
tim pool
Kara says, if you're interested, I can invite one of you to the Cowlitz County Facebook page showing several hours of a protester stream from Portland.
Lots of swearing against police forces.
Well, that's just par for the course for these people, to be honest.
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
Robin says, dearest Tim and crew, did you get the comic I sent you?
Did you share it with Adam and Lydia?
You mentioned graphic novels, and it slipped my mind until just then.
Keep up the good work.
Was it My Hero Magademia?
adam crigler
Yeah, that's the one I was thinking of.
unidentified
Yeah.
adam crigler
That's the only one I've seen.
tim pool
Well, we've got more than one comic.
Yeah, there's a bunch of really funny Trump comics.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Yeah, Trump Punch Man, I think, is one of them.
adam crigler
Oh, cool.
lydia smith
That was a while ago.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, those are hilarious.
The My Hero Magademia one is amazing.
Breton says, oh, and Spoofo, the fence toast.
adam crigler
Woohoo!
I don't know what to do.
I feel like there's something I should be doing, but... Spoofo.
I got nothing.
tim pool
Let's see, Crispy5 says, I'm a 20-year-old who sits socially left, economically right kind of mindset, and I could never find anyone to get actual news from that wasn't biased one way or the other.
I love all three of you guys and this community.
Thank you for being the real news and spin the UFO.
Now, look, to be honest, I think we're biased.
Of course.
adam crigler
I am definitely biased.
I'll admit it.
I like the president, the current sitting president.
I'm a fan of.
I like his policies.
I approve of him.
I'm going to vote for him.
So that makes me biased.
tim pool
I'm okay with it. At this point I think the Democrats have abandoned too much.
So for me, it's more of it's you know what I'll put it this way.
It's not so much that I support the president, but that the the water level has lowered so much
you can see the island emerging of support. Yeah. Where it's like it used to be
the water was high and I was like nah not that guy.
But now that the Democrats have taken away all hope, abandoned all hope, I'm like, well, the best thing I can do is... End reason.
Yeah.
The worse they get, the worse the riots get, the worse the leadership gets, and the worse intersectionalism gets, the more I'm like, I think we need to grab onto that post before the waters sweep us away.
I'll be fair, I think Trump's trade policy stuff was correct.
There's not been a good argument placed against him.
The most important thing I see when it comes to this political stuff, they're not arguing against him.
Literally not.
They're saying, but he's sending out secret police.
Well, he's not doing that.
Well, but he's a fascist.
But he's not sending out secret police.
But this has never happened in a country before.
But he's not doing that!
adam crigler
It doesn't matter what you say, this is how I feel about my facts that I got from my emotions.
tim pool
If the Democrats came out and said something like, Trump shouldn't be using PACT, what he needs to do is set up a coalition with local police leadership and send in only U.S.
Marshals, I'd be like, that's an interesting point.
You think Trump's... No, they're not even saying that.
They're lying about everything.
So if the only thing I'm hearing in my left ear is lies, and from Trump I hear things
that are partially disagreeable, I'll be like, well, I'll take the guy who's partially disagreeable.
Not that Trump doesn't lie, but the Democrats have been nothing but no arguments, lies,
hate, rage, and chaos.
We read that one.
Yes, I heard that.
I'd be willing to bet he got much less than a million dollars.
school student Nick Sandman announced on Friday that his legal team has settled
unidentified
Really?
tim pool
its 250 million dollar defamation lawsuit with the Washington Post. Yes, I
heard that. I'd be willing to bet he got much less than a million dollars. Really?
Oh, definitely. Okay. You sued for 250.
We won't know, but I'd be willing to bet it could be in the hundreds of thousands.
adam crigler
But he got something out of them.
tim pool
He won.
adam crigler
So he won.
tim pool
He won.
When this first came out, all these news organizations were laughing, like, haha.
And all these people on the left were like, what an entitled brat.
He's going to lose, and now he's winning all of them.
adam crigler
In the video, he's just sitting there.
tim pool
You didn't do anything!
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
They tried to argue that because someone filmed him, he became an involuntary public figure, and that is such BS.
adam crigler
Yeah, definitely.
tim pool
So, you're standing somewhere and someone films you and now you're a public figure?
unidentified
No, no, no.
lydia smith
That's a slippery slope.
tim pool
He's still not a public figure.
adam crigler
Right, he's still not.
tim pool
He doesn't speak in public.
He's not a professional in any means where we need to know what he thinks and what he does.
He doesn't write about anything.
He is not a public figure.
lydia smith
He was a minor!
tim pool
And we just know his name.
That's it.
lydia smith
He just turned 18 today.
tim pool
Seriously.
adam crigler
What, today's his birthday?
tim pool
Yeah.
lydia smith
Happy birthday, Nick.
adam crigler
Happy birthday!
lydia smith
Take this out.
tim pool
Yeah, I believe it.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
says a Chinese company bought the company I worked for, a large insurer in 2016. They sold it to a
domestic insurer one year later for a $500 million profit.
China is intelligent in their ability to take money out of the country. Yeah, I believe it. Yep. Boycott
China. Let's see. Agent Miami says, did you know the original anarchist?
Per true definition, Johnny Rotten from Sex Pistols is a Trump supporter.
Also, Muse and Radiohead have great political songs.
Muse, Uprising, and Radiohead, The Numbers.
Maybe you could do a cover.
We can't because of copyright law stuff.
adam crigler
I would love to cover music.
tim pool
I think I knew that about Johnny Rotten.
I'm not entirely sure though.
lydia smith
That's crazy, I didn't know that.
adam crigler
Can I play a song and not monetize the song?
And let the video be out there?
tim pool
They will just claim it.
So yes.
adam crigler
But, okay.
So if they monetize it, I don't monetize it.
tim pool
Commercials will appear on it.
They get the money.
You can do the video.
adam crigler
I think that might be worth it.
I mean, I play a lot of covers.
Specific songs that I've learned throughout the years that have helped influence me musically.
So I like playing those songs.
tim pool
They take your video from you, though.
adam crigler
I mean, it's still on my channel.
tim pool
No, I just mean like if you were going to make a video that's only a song, then it might make sense.
But if you did like a full production... No, no, no.
adam crigler
It would just be me playing live.
tim pool
Right, right, right.
adam crigler
Cool, cool.
unidentified
Let's see.
Alright.
tim pool
Is that like scoffing at what we were saying?
Or what?
I'm not entirely sure.
Probably.
I don't know.
Wednesday feels like so long ago.
I was listening and reacted exactly the way you make fun of the leftist echo chambers and does the same thing with most
political topics Is that what like scoffing at what we were saying or what?
adam crigler
I'm not entirely sure. I don't know We learned something crazy. It was like so long ago. Yeah,
tim pool
we learned something crazy I'm not gonna say its name
But Amazon has a little robot and you can actually ask the little robot to play the Tim cast IRL. Yes, I
And it does.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
That felt really good.
I was like, wow, I feel like, you know, I feel like I've made it.
adam crigler
You feel like that?
You've been in this industry for a while.
I feel like I've made it.
tim pool
But on YouTube, now we got the robots.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
You know, people could walk in a room and be like, play that TimCast IRL.
And it does.
Like, wow.
adam crigler
It's pretty cool.
tim pool
I can't wait to get what we've got.
The animations are getting done for Will of the People.
I know.
And I can't wait till I can get that up on stuff.
It's gonna be fun.
adam crigler
Yep.

Firesign says, watch Epoch Times documentary about the Three Gorges Dam.
It was finished in 2015.
Oh, wow.

A while ago.
Lots changed.

Let's see, where are we at?
tim pool
Here we go.

Oh, it just jumped.
There we go.
adam crigler
I just saw it jump.

TheKillerStove says, As corny as it sounds, with great power comes great responsibility.
Had a huge impact on my worldview growing up.
I think Tim is right on the money.
We need heroes, not just protagonists, but heroes we can aspire to be like.
Yeah, absolutely.
Frykitty says, Magoya 2020.
It's not much, but I enjoy listening to you guys every night and wanted to support you.
Appreciate the honest news.
Thank you very much.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
Let's see.
Terry Clark says, dude, you realize all the lithium for batteries is strip mined in China using slave labor and child labor?
Yeah, I heard that before, right?
Is that?
Yeah, I researched a lot of it.
adam crigler
We got more things I got to get into the every day.
The more I research, the more I find out it's it's probably something terrible that I'm going to be bummed.
tim pool
Mark McConnell says, Western Canada conservative here.
You guys rule.
My media outlet for USA, Trumper 2020.

We will do our best.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
Dark Matter says, Adam, what's up?
Saw you started your own show.
Props to Tim allowing you to use the equipment.
Smash!
Also smash like on Adam's channel.
adam crigler
Oh, thank you.
tim pool
Well, Adam's actually gonna have his own studio.
adam crigler
I am.
tim pool
That's right.
We're expanding beyond belief.
It's gonna be, like, we're gonna have a gaming studio, finally.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
We, like, built 10% of it.
But now we're actually gonna have, like, an area with, like, a nice couch and, like, big TV.
adam crigler
Yep.
So... We're gonna do some D&D.
We're gonna do some... What else?
What other games should we play?
tim pool
Well, we've got the cancel culture game coming.
unidentified
True.
adam crigler
When that finishes, we'll unveil that.
tim pool
I'm not going to say the person's name, but we just tapped a very, very excellent comedic artist.
adam crigler
He's great.
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
He's awesome.
tim pool
Very funny.
He is awesome.
And I'll ask him if he cares, we mentioned.
adam crigler
I don't think he's going to mind.
tim pool
Should we just say it?
adam crigler
I don't know.
I think he's excited about the project.
tim pool
I'll just say, so you guys know Freedom Tunes?
lydia smith
Of course we do.
tim pool
You guys know what Freedom Tunes is?
adam crigler
Well, if you don't, you should because it's hilarious.
tim pool
Yeah, his content is hilarious and he's doing the basic art for a card game that we're making called Cancel Culture.
It's going to be like an out-of-the-box party card game where your goal is to cancel your opponent.
It's very, very easy to play.
Very simple.
And we've got a bunch of card designs.
The mechanics are basically built out.
We've just got to playtest it and refine it a little bit.
But we're going to have a card game and you'll be able to open up a pack and you'll have your Peter Jordanson card and your wet Brian Stein card.
adam crigler
Don't give too much information away.
tim pool
Yeah, but we're not the only ones who have done something like this.
But we're going to do it right.
As people who played Magic the Gathering and are familiar with card games, we have keen insight.
We originally made this ridiculously complicated game, and then we had to just trash it.
We were like, there's no one who's going to learn how to play this dude.
This is nuts.
It was fun though.
adam crigler
I do see a lot of people in chat asking about, Adam has a channel?
What?
It's pretty easy to find.
It's Atomcast IRL.
That's it on YouTube.
You can find me.
I actually, uh, I'm going to be uploading some music.
Just going to be my new, new show.
I do it on Saturdays.
Um, we're, we're currently in the middle of moving and I am like, we got equipment to set up my own studio as Tim just mentioned.
So I probably won't have the show for a couple of weeks.
Um, but it'll be once, once I'm back with Atomcast, it's going to be huge.
We're going to have real excited.
tim pool
Yeah, so we're setting up a bigger facility that can do a lot more, and one of the things we're gonna do is like a fact-checking division, like a literal news site, that's gonna function as like a, here's why this is not real.
So imagine if someone said there's unidentified troops and you could go to a fact checking site that said,
here's where all of these different sites said it was true and here's the judge and here's the video,
here's the photo, and you're like, here's the photo showing the markings.
So you can literally be like, dude, just read this.
Just don't even, and then people will be like, I don't believe you, there's a photo.
Well, there's a court order.
There's the judge's ruling.
Then why are all of these fake?
Because they're fake news.
adam crigler
Fake news exists, it's real.
tim pool
And you know what I wanna do too?
One of the longstanding plans has been to take the last 100 articles
that any news outlet has published and do an ethics check where we basically use Reuters
and the SPJ's standard journalistic ethics.
We'll have people go through them to look for violations.
And if they get a violation, they get an X.
We then say, you know, X out of 100 articles, Well, I, for one, will be grateful for that site.
journalism. Nice. And then you can click it and we'll give you the actual
spreadsheet. Here are the last 100 articles we reviewed.
Here are the reasons why we marked these videos with an ethics violation.
adam crigler
Well, I, for one, will be grateful for that site. I'm gonna be using
tim pool
it a lot. So here's what'll happen. You'll go to New York
Times, and you'll use our extension or something, and it'll say
the New York Times, out of the previously sampled 100 articles, they
have a score of 70 out of 100.
30 of the articles we pulled from their news division contained violations of journalistic ethics.
Then you'll find like, you know, Vox, and it'll have like a 37 out of 100.
And it'll be like, only 37 met our standards, met the standards of, you know, Thomson Reuters and SPJ.
And then you'll find a lot of sites have none.
You know what the funniest thing about it's gonna be though?
When certain like right-wing sites score like, I mean like more fringy blogs, and end up with like a 40, and Vox ends up with a 30.
And then it's going to be like, look, I think this is a bad source that I wouldn't use, but look at Vox.
One of the things I really do believe it's possible that Vox ends up with a zero out of 100 because they don't label their articles as opinion.
And that's a violation of journalistic ethics.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
So we might just be like, Vox is purported to be a news website, but all of their articles are opinions.
adam crigler
Almost every single one.
tim pool
Now, the thing about The Daily Wire, which is Ben Shapiro and whatever, I think actually, he's not the editor-in-chief anymore, or is he?
He is.
lydia smith
I think he is.
Oh, he stepped down.
He stepped down.
Yeah.
tim pool
If it's literally just an opinion site, we're not going to give someone a negative, you know, ethics because, a strike, because they're at a commentary site doing commentary.
If they purport to be explaining the news like Vox does, and it's literally just leftist opinion, yeah, sorry, that's a violation of ethics.
unidentified
You're a lying dog-faced pony soldier.
tim pool
That's true, they certainly are.
Alright, we got this big ol' super chat here.
Will Stewart says, I don't know.
I guess I'm not evangelical, so I don't know.
no one is talking about politically is that a lot of evangelicals are becoming
cultural Marxists and promoting critical theory and will be voting Biden.
No one is talking about this. I don't know. I guess I'm not an evangelical so I don't know.
adam crigler
I don't know either. Yeah.
lydia smith
Yeah, they said Trump's losing the evangelical vote, which he needs.
tim pool
I don't believe it after they desecrated Mary and Jesus.
adam crigler
They cut off Jesus's head across the country.
tim pool
That pissed me off.
adam crigler
Are you kidding me?
They're burning churches?
They're chopping Jesus's head off?
tim pool
Burning statues of Mary.
adam crigler
Burning statues of Mary?
What?
Evangelicals aren't Catholics.
lydia smith
Well, so what?
They hold Mary in almost no esteem.
adam crigler
They don't care about statues.
tim pool
Evangelicals?
lydia smith
They don't care about statues.
Yeah, they really don't care.
They're not Catholics.
I would think Catholics would have a really strong reaction.
So we'll see.
adam crigler
I mean, I'm not religious and I'm upset about it.
lydia smith
I know I am too.
adam crigler
This country, we got the freedom of religion.
lydia smith
Yeah, absolutely.
adam crigler
Are they Americans?
Are they proud of this country?
Probably.
unidentified
I hope so.
lydia smith
I assume, yeah.
adam crigler
It's a good place to be.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Well, ladies and gentlemen, it is 10 o'clock.
So that means you have to smash the like button.
It means subscribe.
And it also means the normal course of the show is coming to an end.
But it is Friday, and Friday is jam day.
So we're gonna chill.
Adam, you didn't bust out the whiskey.
lydia smith
He's gotta go get it.
adam crigler
I'm gonna go get it now.
lydia smith
We're on a mission.
tim pool
So for those that stuck with us for the show, thanks for hanging out.
The, you know, commentary portion is mostly over.
Now we just, like, normally we would just end the show and then go to sleep or something, or I don't know.
lydia smith
Eat ice pops.
tim pool
Eat, uh, what are they called?
Oh, outshine bars.
lydia smith
Those things are amazing.
tim pool
It's like all fruit ice cream or something.
But because it's Friday, we're gonna hang out and play some music.
And Adam will probably play a couple songs.
I think I'll just play one.
And we just, uh, we just chill.
But then, once we wrap up, maybe in like 20 or 30 minutes, we'll come back and talk for a little bit more before we finally do wrap up the show.
So, if you're not down with a jam session from me and Adam, thank you for hanging out.

All that good stuff.
But now it's time.
Now it is time for one of the biggest shows of the year.
You see, No one's doing live music right now.
And there are 36,619 of you as I speak.
And if you stick around, you'll be watching Adam, and this may be one of the biggest live performances of the year.
Now I get it, there's probably more famous people doing, you know, live broadcast music than just us.

I saw Tool in Phoenix this year, so... Oh, okay.
That counts.
adam crigler
I did go see a pretty big show.
tim pool
Yeah, but that was before COVID, wasn't it?
adam crigler
True, but it was 2020.
It counts.
tim pool
Yeah.
So, of this year, sure.
Okay, okay.
Semantics, semantics.
Since the coronavirus took over.
adam crigler
Although I don't know how many people can fit into that stadium in Phoenix, but...
lydia smith

adam crigler
This is called Taking It Back.
I haven't played this one in a little while, so I'm going to play this one.
unidentified
If I was a younger man, I'd probably make the same mistake twice.
The closer the heart is, the harder it becomes to do what's right.
Even through the thick and thin, secretly we want to Well, I'm takin' it back, takin' it back, takin' it back.
It's time to confess our sins.
Whoa, before this world you've built crumbles away.
I've spent some time lost in my mind, disappointed.
Well, that's just the sting from expecting, and that's what you get.
Oh, it happens all the time.
A high tide of the mind struggling for oxygen.
And taking it back, taking it back, taking it back is the only option
Before this world you've built crumbles away It started with cold feet, let me begin again
Hindsight's obviously the clearest option.
I'm taking it back with all that I believe in.
Everything happens, I won't fight the reason.
You say you've learned from your mistakes that you're experienced
And then comes the day Drumlethfield, as they say, has left you
in a daze That happens all the time, that high tide of the mind
Struggling for oxygen And taking it back, taking it back, taking it back
Is the only option Before that world you built crumbles away
And then comes the day Drumlethfield, as they say, has left you
in a daze And then comes the day Drumlethfield, as they say, has left
you in a daze
And then comes the day Drumlethfield, as they say, has left you
in a daze And then comes the day Drumlethfield, as they say, has left
you in a daze
And then comes the day Drumlethfield, as they say, has left you
in a daze And then comes the day Drumlethfield, as they say, has left
you in a daze
And then comes the day Drumlethfield, as they say, has left you
in a daze Started with cold feet, let me begin again
Hindsight's obviously the clearest option.
I'm taking it back with all that I believe in.
Everything happens, I won't fight the reason.

tim pool
I'm just going to do that one song for today, man.
Do you want to play another one?
unidentified
Yeah, I'll play one more.
tim pool
I can hear my throat crack.
adam crigler
I'm not... You don't want to risk it?
unidentified

lydia smith
Tim's going to be careful of his voice.
Happy to hear it.

tim pool
I like working too much.
lydia smith
He does.
unidentified
I'm gonna downtune this guitar, because... It's all you now, brother.
adam crigler
You're not playing anymore.
tim pool
Someone actually cut a version of one of my songs called Will of the People, and it's on YouTube, and it's got, like, 60,000 views.
lydia smith
Oh, cool.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Did you see the guy that actually did a drum track to it?
tim pool
Oh, really?
adam crigler
Oh, it's dope, actually.
lydia smith
Super cool.
adam crigler
Dude.
He's a good drummer.
tim pool
We've got an animator working on, like, an animation for the song.
It's awesome.
unidentified
I'm so excited.
tim pool
I'm so excited.
lydia smith
That's so cool.
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
It's really neat.
tim pool
I've never been one to, like, play studio recorded music with full band stuff.
So it's very weird for me to hear one of my songs, which are usually just acoustic, but done in a studio manner with full everything.
lydia smith
It's interesting.
tim pool
It's different.
It's really different.
It feels weird.
It's like, I did not write this song, but I did.
But the music and the instruments are, like, the pros, so...
unidentified
It adds a lot.
lydia smith
I don't know.
tim pool
Yeah, so you guys might know Nishra.
She's basically the musical genius who's adding all the studio work to it.
I just play the guitar and sing.
lydia smith
That's great.
tim pool
I play the drums too, but I didn't record the drums on this one.
We actually have a drum kit right here.
lydia smith
Yeah, that's cool.
We need a real one.
tim pool
We're gonna get a real one.
It's gonna be great.
lydia smith
I gotta learn.
unidentified
Uh, alright, yeah.
adam crigler
So actually I was watching chat.
Someone asked me for a song.
So I'm going to play it.
And that's why I down-tuned this song.
Because this song just, it doesn't feel right in the key of E. Oh yeah.
This is called Melancholy Hellhound.
unidentified
🎵 🎵Well I don't want your money🎵
🎵I just want some wine🎵 🎵
Yeah, give me some of your honey.
I promise I'll take my time.
Welcome to the heartache.
It always feels the same.
Yeah, well, I find myself growing senseless to the pain.
Yeah, well, I stretch and crawl to figure it out, but in the end, there's just me.
Oh, well, I don't want your pity, and I don't want no lie.
Hold up, you're shitty.
And then you die.
Welcome to the heartache.
Try not to lose your way.
Yeah, it's like trudging through the muddy waters, oh, without faith.
Yeah, you can scratch and crawl to figure it out, but in the end, there's just me.
Oh, well, I still get the feeling of judgmental lies.
The only difference being, it's just not worth my time.
Yeah, cause I welcome all the hot air.
Oh, it brings tears to my eyes.
Yeah, those tears remind me.
Remind me I'm alive.
Alive.
Well, I stretch and crawl to figure it out.
But in the end, it's just me.
adam crigler
Woo!
unidentified
Alright.
lydia smith
I like that one.
tim pool
You throw the pick?
unidentified
I did.
Are you done?
Yeah, I'm done.
I gotta catch it.
tim pool
Dude, you see, it's true.
I come back to it and I'm like, I wanna play one more.
No, I can't do it.
My voice cracked when I was singing that and I was like, nah, nah, nah, nah.
I'm not going to do it.
Believe it or not, I am not a professional musician.
I'm a professional internet talker about news.
I'll take that role more seriously.
Yeah, so when I went hard a couple weeks ago, I did like three songs and I had a full belt and everything and then I lost my voice for a week.
No, not interested.
So anyway everybody, so no more songs? We're good then? We're gonna... time for bed?
adam crigler
I can't do it.
I felt my voice going earlier today when I was playing that song.
And I was like, I gotta take it easy.
I can feel it right now.
tim pool
You know what a lot of people don't realize?
adam crigler
I don't want to risk it.
tim pool
Adam, you record just over 2 hours of content every day.
adam crigler
I guess I do.
tim pool
And I record about 3 hours and 40 minutes every day.
And the interesting thing about this is, when you post something on Facebook about your opinion, and then someone says, like, Adam just keeps talking about this one thing, it's like, you realize that Adam will publish two hours worth of discussion, and they'll only talk to you about, like, one tiny Tiny, tiny morsel, you know?
So I get that, you know, I've been getting that for a long time with having nearly four hours of content.
unidentified
They'll be like, you only talk about, you know, defending the police.
tim pool
And I'm like, did you watch all four hours of content I put out today?
Because I put out four hours.
No, I know you don't because nobody could.
That's insane.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
I mean, actually, a lot of people probably do.
I'm impressed by that.
It's four hours, man.
adam crigler
I try to catch your stuff.
I mean, I don't watch as much as I used to, though, I'll be honest, because I'm researching a lot of the same stuff that you're talking about.
tim pool
And we're going to be doing a vlog channel with the new facility, and it's going to be skateboarding, it's going to be guns, archery, you know, all very safe stuff.
The gun stuff will probably be not as... not as much.
adam crigler
Oh, people want to see us shoot, yo.
tim pool
We will.
I just mean, like, it's not going to be like... because safety regulations, getting the proper instructors, making sure we have everything set up and secure.
We want to be serious with it when we're filming, all that kind of stuff, so... But maybe we can be, you know, better prepared for...
It's going to be a challenge, but we're going to do skateboarding stuff.
We're going to do vlog stuff.
Ian's going to be baking and making weird fruit leather and stuff.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
That's going to be so fun.
But the reason I bring this up is that will add probably another 20 minutes of content per day.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
Yeah, to the publishing time.
So hopefully I can produce more than 24 hours worth of content per day.
And I think it's possible.
I think I can pull it off.
lydia smith
He thinks he can do it.
tim pool
