We got him!
tim pool
We got Mark Zuckerberg, finally.
That sly devil thought he could get away with lying to Congress, but he can't!
Not as long as Matt Gaetz is on the job.
Republican Matt Gaetz has filed a criminal referral because of Project Veritas.
You want to talk about some real journalism?
Project Veritas got some whistleblowers, got some undercover evidence, and now it may, maybe, maybe, Mark Zuckerberg lied to Congress.
The reason I say maybe is because this criminal referral should ignite an investigation.
Should being the principal word.
We'll see how this plays out.
But this is huge news, man.
Bias against conservatives, and it's not even necessarily conservatives, it's just perceivably against conservatives, has been a major issue over the past several years.
And I have long said that Republican politicians are too stupid to know what's good for them to actually deal with this to solve these problems.
Well, there's very few Republicans that actually think do work, and Matt Gaetz is one of them, so he's doing what I would argue is a good job.
We gotta go after these big tech companies.
But we do have a bunch of other stories today, so make sure you smash that like button.
Smash it!
Smash Okay, I'm good. All that good interaction is great for the
channel. Comment, and if you want to get in the super chats, we try to read as many as we can. We
usually don't read as many as we get, because we get way too many, but definitely engage with us
and we'll try our best to read your comments and all that. But we've got some other
stories too. Notably, something I was talking about earlier on my other channel, but we've got a very
high profile activist, and I really hate to say the name of this person. Don't.
adam crigler
Don't even say it then.
tim pool
But we're gonna have to show it.
adam crigler
Well, they can read it when... Yeah, we'll do it when we get there.
tim pool
I think we're gonna say it.
I think we'll say it.
adam crigler
Just say it, whatever.
tim pool
So the issue is... Let me tell you something.
You may have noticed this.
A couple of old married people were having dinner on their patio out there in St.
Louis, and a bunch of angry people came up yelling, you know, rabble, rabble, rabble, and came onto private property.
And these two people in St.
Louis took out their weapons and said, get off our property.
They lived there in a castle doctrine state.
Well, right now, in accordance to Missouri law, might I add, according to the AG and the governor, so there's a dispute on this one.
But I think the Castle Doctrine statute... Look, man, if you're on your property and you're defending it, then that's where I'm okay.
Well, don't go to someone else's house and then complain they defended themselves.
But here's where it gets funny.
The AG has said they're going to seek to dismiss these charges because they're trying to criminally charge this family.
Over in Austin, what happened?
Some guy was walking around with a rifle.
And a car, a regular person, was driving through, and this guy, now we have some new updates from the police, this guy with the rifle walks up with a bunch of other people.
In a photo, you can see him holding the grip.
Some witnesses have said he pointed at the vehicle.
In the photo, we don't necessarily see that, but it does look like he's gripped it, like he may be ready to fire.
And the driver shoots this man several times, speeds off, and someone else fires at the vehicle.
That's according to the police.
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
They arrested both of these guys.
The left has raised a hundred grand for this man who was marching around with a loaded rifle and approached a regular citizen, and they call him a martyr.
They call him a hero.
But the McCloskeys?
Evil criminals!
Criminals who must be arrested!
And this is probably the best example of why you have to stop these people.
They care not for principle or ethics.
They will not be fair with you.
And you know what was the craziest thing about this story?
It reminded me of something.
You know what it reminded me of?
A meme.
Posted by Donald Trump.
adam crigler
Oh, you're right.
tim pool
When he said, the truth is, they're not after me, they're after you.
I'm just in the way.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
I thought about that and I was kind of like, well, you know, look.
A regular guy in a car.
Regular guy in a car.
He's the bad guy.
He's the Nazi.
The dude with the rifle is the martyr.
The McCloskeys, the regular people in their home having dinner.
They're the bad guys.
You see how they play it?
You will always be the bad guy.
They are the heroes.
So we definitely want to go through this, talk about all this stuff.
And then I got another story, man.
Props and shoutouts to Michael Tracy.
He's a journalist, and he actually drove around, and surprise, surprise, in today's day and age, most people wouldn't expect it, he did real journalism.
It's as simple as him just driving to various businesses in various cities and asking locals how they felt, and seeing the real carnage that the riots had wrought.
And he talks about how people aren't actually focusing on the victims.
He called it a media scandal of epic proportions, that journalists have ignored months of suffering and chaos from the destruction of these riots, and they're focused on culture war issues.
So I'll take some criticism there.
I disagree a little bit with some of his, you know, assertions, but I think overwhelmingly it's excellent work.
We got to talk about this.
I'll tell you what, man.
I got extremely angry reading this article because, I mean, these far leftists are literally salting the earth of these poor communities to make sure they could never flourish.
It's psychotic.
adam crigler
It's terrible.
tim pool
So this is what we got.
We're gonna get into it.
So make sure you smash that like button.
adam crigler
You know, would you mind if I talk about this?
This means a lot to me, and I really want to say thank you to Staff Sergeant Kevin.
I'm not going to read the rest just out of respect, but I'm going to read this letter to you all.
This was just sent to us today.
Hello, Mr. Poole.
I wanted to express my thanks for all the hard work that you and the rest of the crew put forward every day.
While I've been overseas for the past couple of months, I've been listening to your posted YouTube videos and your longer format show with Adam and Lydia.
They provide an excellent source of context to the cable news we see overseas.
I've shared more than one of your videos to the younger airmen in my shop and it's been a pleasant surprise how many of them were engaged in the things you were saying.
They've even helped spark off several long, deep conversations around our break room around all sorts of issues, like what actually constitutes oppression or the importance of emotional maturity when trying to effectively take a position.
And now the debate about free speech and what that means for a private online service, whether you believe so or not, having a couple precious hours to distract from the humdrum of everyday life in the desert can be a big morale booster.
In return, I would like to extend a token of our appreciation and support.
We've had this U.S.
flag flown especially for you on an aircraft while in support of a combat mission.
I would like to have Have it recognize all your dedication and hard work.
Thank you for what you do.
unidentified
Wow!
adam crigler
Man, I got a little teary-eyed the first time I read it and I got a little teary-eyed there.
This means a lot to me.
And this is the certificate.
This is to certify the accompanying United States flag was flown on a combat mission in support of Operation Inherent Resolve on board the U.S.
Air Force C-130H.
Thank you very much.
This really means a lot to us.
tim pool
Combat mission.
adam crigler
Especially to me.
I wanted to join the Air Force as a kid.
My uncle was in the Air Force.
I have a few family members in the service, and I really appreciate all of you out there.
So, thank you.
tim pool
This is one of the coolest things.
I am humbled.
I am flattered.
We're going to, I believe, framing it.
I want to make sure we do everything properly and with appropriate honor.
Get it framed, get it hung up so we can have it and maybe even, we're moving to a new set and maybe even have it behind us the entire time.
That is incredible.
That is truly, truly epic.
unidentified
I like that.
adam crigler
Let's do that.
tim pool
That's awesome.
adam crigler
Sounds great.
tim pool
Thank you guys so much for sending that to us.
That's really, I can't, I'm speechless.
So, how about we dive right into this here story?
adam crigler
Let's do it.
tim pool
GOP's Matt Gaetz files criminal referral against Zuckerberg for alleged false statements under oath.
Now, before you all get your hopes up, this is a good first step, but it's supposed to be an investigation.
I'm going to tell you right away what I think.
He's just going to be like, Oh, I was mistaken.
adam crigler
Of course.
tim pool
It wasn't intentional.
And there you go.
What are you going to do?
adam crigler
Too easy.
tim pool
So, they're trying to say, basically, that he lied.
False statements.
Let's read it.
They say representative from Newsweek by the way, representative Matt Gaetz on Monday filed a
criminal referral against Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for allegedly making false statements
to Congress during two joint hearings in April 2018. Gaetz said Zuckerberg repeatedly and
categorically denied Facebook engaged in bias against conservatives
or censored content supportive of President Donald Trump.
However, a Project Veritas investigation revealed the overwhelming majority of content Facebook's artificial intelligence filtered was in support of Trump and other Republican people and ideas—ideals.
Now, this part's important.
It's going to be hard for him to dispute because he'd have to argue he has no idea how his system functions.
And that's going to be really bad for their stock and for him as the leader of the company.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
Yes, advertisers.
I have no idea what content will appear next to your ads.
I have no idea why or how.
They're going to be like, uh, isn't that something the CEO should know?
adam crigler
Yeah, definitely.
tim pool
So he might have to come out and be like, well, we didn't mean it that way.
I think he'll avoid, you know what the worst part is?
He'll get a fine.
They'll be like, we hereby fine you 50 million dollars, and he'll be like, we made, you know, how many billions last year?
Sure, fine.
The Republican congressman sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr asking the Department of Justice to investigate Zuckerberg.
The statements in question were made during a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing, and again at a joint hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee.
Quote, as a member of this body, I question Mr. Zuckerberg's veracity and challenge his willingness to cooperate with our oversight authority, diverting congressional resources during time-sensitive investigations, and materially impeding our work, Gates said in the letter.
Such misrepresentations are not only unfair, they are potentially illegal and fraudulent.
Potentially, keyword.
Newsweek reached out to Facebook, but they have not responded.
Zuckerberg told senators at the April 10th hearing that he understood concerns legislators had about conservative censorship because Silicon Valley is an extremely left-leaning place.
He said he shared that concern and it's something he tries to root out in the company.
The next day he responded to a question from Representative Steve Scalise by saying, there was absolutely no directive to have a bias in anything we do.
To the contrary, our goal is to be a platform for all ideas.
Now that was a lie!
adam crigler
That's what he said in Congress when he was on the stand.
tim pool
Well, here's the challenge, though.
Our goal.
What does that even mean?
adam crigler
The goal.
tim pool
Right.
It doesn't mean they do it.
adam crigler
Rather loose.
tim pool
Exactly.
We can do whatever we want.
My goal is to have $20 billion.
Yeah.
Yeah, great.
We can all go to sleep and have a nice little dream.
During Veritas's undercover investigation, a Facebook content moderator said she would delete every Republican item that showed up on her queue.
She added that she doesn't remove anti-Trump content, even if it violates the policy.
If someone is wearing a MAGA hat, I am going to delete them for terrorism, another moderator said.
I think we are all doing that.
Now here's another snag.
This, I believe, was a third-party company.
Zuckerberg's gonna say Facebook didn't do anything.
Third-party company did.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
At the time of the investigation's release, James O'Keefe, the founder of Oz and CEO of Veritas, said the findings raised serious doubts about Zuckerberg's testimony on Capitol Hill.
O'Keefe added the report called into question Facebook's immunity under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
Gates wrote in the letter to Barr that the findings of the Project Veritas investigation were in direct contrast with Zuckerberg's testimony that Facebook was a politically neutral platform.
Facebook's AI screening content is not politically neutral.
Neither are the moderators hired to review content flagged by the AI program, Gates told Barr.
This stands in opposition to Zuckerberg's congressional testimony and violates the good-faith provision of Section 230C2A of the Communications Decency Act.
The congressman asked Barr to investigate Zuckerberg for making materially false statements to Congress
while testifying under oath and asked for full and proper consideration.
First of all, Project Veritas, James O'Keefe, bravo, good sirs, excellent work.
adam crigler
Indeed, that was a good report.
tim pool
So few, there's so little real journalism going on.
And Veritas gets ripped to shreds by the media for going after these powerful companies and players.
And I will tell you right away, they argue that Veritas is biased.
They're conservative.
So what does that mean when they go after CNN or the Washington Post or Google or Facebook?
Are those companies all left-leaning?
Is he biased for going after them?
That's a good question, right?
The answer is, of course not.
He's going after, he's speaking truth to power.
He's getting people on the record that are revealing these powerful individuals are subverting our right to speech.
Now, I'm not saying the First Amendment, that's a government-related thing, but if they're going to host political discourse and monopolize the commons, the space we need as people to engage in discourse, we got a serious problem here, man.
adam crigler
I was just looking up here.
Section CC is protection for the good Samaritan blocking and screening of offensive material So that's what it's under like right the good the good faith provision.
That's what I checked it out So this goes beyond just yeah.
tim pool
Well, so this is interesting.
It goes just this Referral from Matt gates is one of the first steps.
I mean, I suppose the first step is having them testify Yeah This referral is extremely important, even if Zuckerberg says, oopsie, whoopsie, I didn't know.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
What happens now is they open the door for violations of Section 230, which means Facebook could be sued for literally anything posted on the site by anyone.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
And Facebook is responsible.
So because of their biased actions, because we have moderators on the record saying we violate the good faith provisions of this, They straight up say, we'll remove someone for wearing a MAGA hat.
adam crigler
It's offensive to them, Tim.
tim pool
They're not going to be able to successfully defend themselves against a lawsuit saying they were removing objectionable material when they tell the judge, he had a MAGA hat on.
The judge is going to be like, how is that in any way objectionable?
The president wears the hat.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Well, we think it's objectionable.
Get out of here.
adam crigler
Oh yeah, they shot themselves in the foot.
If you haven't seen the Project Veritas exposing Facebook videos... They're lying.
Go check them out.
tim pool
These companies have long been violating Section 230.
And the problem is, I guess nobody is actually filing the suits.
I don't know exactly how it would work.
I would imagine, and correct me if I'm wrong if there's any lawyers in the chat, Somebody will say, you know, Adam Kregler called me a big stupid doo-doo head on Facebook.
adam crigler
It's true.
tim pool
I'm suing Facebook for defamation.
Facebook would then have to respond to the judge, Section 230 defends us from liability.
I would then, you know, have to respond, actually, Facebook is in violation of the good faith provision because they choose and remove outside of the confines of the Good Samaritan removal.
And the judge would have to be like, okay, or no, and then appeal.
I don't know exactly how it would work.
I'd imagine it would be something like that.
I did talk to a lawyer friend of mine before about this and was told basically people need to start filing lawsuits that specifically drive through the heart of Section 230.
The problem is we like Section 230.
What we don't like is them abusing it.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
By abusing it, they're able to tilt the whole conversation.
Now, I suppose there's a net benefit in the sense that the silent majority exists.
And it's been emboldened and embiggened, if you would, by—it's actually a word now, apparently.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
Embiggened.
Yeah, it's in the dictionary.
Simpsons reference.
So the silent majority, I was looking it up, I guess it's a reference to Nixon.
Okay.
You know, I think it was Nixon.
Was it Nixon?
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, he was like, I'm appealing to, you know, the general idea is the people who don't engage in politics but have real concerns, they're not just speaking up all the time.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Because of what these social media companies have done with bias and just basically nuking conservatives and, like, I gotta stop there, okay?
People keep saying it's bias against conservatives.
This is important.
It's actually not.
It's biased against people who oppose the far left.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Now, because the conservatives are most likely to be the ones standing up and speaking out against the far left, they're the ones who are being nuked indiscriminately.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But there are absolutely liberal individuals who will say something about, say, like, you know, trans issues and then be nuked.
And they're not conservative.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
They'll get banned.
In fact, there are some really anti-Trump people who have been banned for talking about, you know, talking bad of intersectionalism.
And even anti-war progressives who have been nuked entirely, like YouTube, I'm sorry, Twitter, purged a ton of progressive anti-war activists.
So that's what it's really about.
It's like if you oppose the establishment orthodoxy.
adam crigler
Well, I mean, I think that the whole reason it's a silent majority is these people aren't on Twitter.
They're not, I mean, maybe they're on Facebook more than Twitter, but I have a feeling they're not even on any of those things.
Did you hear what happened in Chicago when they, the day after they took down the Columbus statue?
tim pool
No, what happened?
adam crigler
So they took, the mayor of Chicago finally said, all right, fine, we'll take down the statue because the rioters have been demanding it.
At 3 a.m.
overnight, they went and snuck and got it out.
It was big, too.
Yeah, it was a big statue.
So the Italian-Americans in Chicago were pissed.
They are really mad.
They went out and they were like, you know what?
We got that statue.
We legally wanted it.
We went through the process.
We legally got it and did it and put it up for them to Give in to the demands of these terrorists that are terrorizing our city shows how how wrong the government is.
And we're standing up.
You started a war.
You activated us, Mayor Lightfoot.
You did this, so we're coming.
tim pool
The silent majority is being embiggened.
adam crigler
What is the definition?
tim pool
Let me just say this real quick.
Go ahead.
You said that the guy was basically saying, you've given in to the demands of the far left terrorizing us.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
No, she didn't.
She is the far left terrorizing them.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
Well, that's not the way they see it, though.
tim pool
Right, I know, I know.
My point is, if a hundred people come out with sickle and hammers all over themselves, and they're yelling Marx over and over again and throw ropes over a statue and try and pull it down, and then the mayor comes in and goes, stop!
unidentified
Stop!
tim pool
We brought a crane.
adam crigler
Yay!
tim pool
She's with them.
adam crigler
You're right.
tim pool
What do you mean?
adam crigler
It's true, but why do it at three in the morning?
That's just dirty.
tim pool
To stop the other people from showing up and stopping her.
adam crigler
You're right.
tim pool
That's true.
She basically was like, hey, all of you crazy terror people, stop what you're doing, please.
Don't you understand?
adam crigler
We're going to do it way better.
tim pool
We're going to do it at three in the morning with a big crane and no one will stop us.
We passed.
The Embiggen reference is a Simpsons joke where, I can't remember who it was, Miss Krabappel or whatever.
She says, I've never heard the word Embiggen.
They're watching a story about Jebediah Springfield, the founder.
He's like a noble spirit.
Embiggen's even the smallest man or something.
She's like, I've never heard the word Embiggen until moving to Springfield.
And then the other teacher goes, Embiggen's a perfectly cromulent word.
Now, embiggen and cromulent are actual.
They're in the dictionary.
adam crigler
Is cromulent just like perfectly acceptable or something?
tim pool
Yeah, it means like form-fitting and acceptable or something.
lydia smith
See, context is everything.
adam crigler
I've got it right here.
Embiggen.
To enlarge or grow or to make or become bigger.
lydia smith
Perfect.
adam crigler
Am I right?
tim pool
Embiggen.
I actually, I don't know if it existed before and they were making a joke about it.
adam crigler
I don't think that's exactly accurate because it's more emboldened.
Like they're not just, I mean, to enlarge, you know, to grow, sure.
But they're already there.
The numbers are there.
Now they're just, you know.
tim pool
The silent majority.
adam crigler
I'm talking about the silent majority.
tim pool
So the reason why this all ties together is that we talked, you know, last week about this Cato Institute study that found 62% of Americans are afraid to speak about their political opinions.
And the only... Okay, so you've got strong liberal, liberal, moderate, conservative, strong conservative.
Guess which one was comfortable expressing themselves in public?
adam crigler
We all know.
tim pool
The far left.
adam crigler
The only ones, the loudest screamers.
tim pool
It was the staunch liberal, and only by about 52% I think, like half, felt that they could speak their opinions in public without offending anybody.
Now that's either extreme ignorance, like they're really dumb, just like, why would anyone be offended about me saying I'm going to repeal civil rights legislation?
You know what I mean?
Like certainly that's offensive to a ton of people.
adam crigler
I'm certainly offended about it.
tim pool
Yeah, me too.
But they don't think it's offensive to say.
The crazy thing, for the most part, is when I tell people about this, they don't believe it.
They're like, I have a friend who goes out and marches for this stuff and then literally believes that because she wearing her frilly flower dress holds up a sign that we are calling her Antiva.
And so I'm like, no, no, no, no, no.
I was like, are you going around smashing windows?
Are you going around tearing things down and beating people?
No one is talking about you.
But I will say, you provide the shield, the mass, for those people to go out and destroy things.
So that I will criticize.
But when I said to her, I was like, you have to understand why I'm not a fan of what you're doing.
I understand protesting police brutality and all that stuff, but you're actively supporting people who are repealing civil rights law, and her response is like, prove it.
And I'm like, done.
Here's the link.
This doesn't make sense.
Someone must be getting paid off.
I don't understand what's happening.
adam crigler
That was the response?
tim pool
Yeah.
Maybe you should not go out and hold up... You know what, man?
It reminds me of that thing that happened at the Cernovich event in New York, where a bunch of Antifa were protesting Mike Cernovich speaking at Columbia.
Somebody walked up to the front of the march and unfurled this big banner and said, please hold this.
And they did.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
And it was a pro- Nambla poster!
Do you know what Nambla is?
adam crigler
I don't think I want to know.
tim pool
The North American Man-Boy Love Association, I think.
adam crigler
Oh, that.
Oh, that.
tim pool
Yep.
adam crigler
Yeah, okay.
unidentified
Gross.
tim pool
Because they did not read what they were flying.
The mindlessness of what they're doing.
Yep.
adam crigler
That's so gross.
tim pool
Yep.
adam crigler
That movement is disgusting.
tim pool
Somebody tricked these Antifa into flying that banner, and there's a video of them carrying it for I think like a minute or so, a couple minutes, until someone else noticed and ran up and snatched it and ripped it up and was like, what are you doing?
And they were confused like, what do you mean?
Like, we're just holding the banner.
lydia smith
That someone gave us.
Nicely.
Very nice of them.
tim pool
Imagine what you must... Like, to the people who would go out and fly these signs without reading them.
adam crigler
I said this last month, ignorance is a really crazy pandemic running through our society right now.
Among our younger generation, that's what it really feels like.
tim pool
Well, it's like you were talking about before, people want to be YouTubers.
adam crigler
Yep, exactly.
tim pool
And here we are as YouTubers.
adam crigler
Well, I mean, yeah, and that's funny.
Actually, a friend of mine and I were talking about that, basically saying, like, how can you sit there being a YouTuber, calling out how younger generations, you know, want, like, it's bad that they want to be YouTubers.
It's like, yeah, the difference is I didn't want to be a YouTuber.
That's not what I set out to do.
I set out to, I mean, I was a pro skater, you know, I was, you know, modeling, traveling around the world, doing that for a long time, trying to be a musician, you know, so I had other things.
And then you called me and you were like, do you want to do the show?
And I was like, all right, I'm not doing anything.
Well, actually, it was like, do this.
tim pool
Remember that show we tried doing a couple years ago?
Yeah, that's true.
Again, we did try.
adam crigler
We did try this show.
tim pool
Now we have equipment.
adam crigler
Well, and we were under someone else's authority.
Now we can do our we're doing our own stuff, you know.
tim pool
I would say this.
When they say they want to be YouTubers, they're not talking about news and politics and activism.
adam crigler
They just want to be famous.
No, well, no, that's what it is.
They just want the fame.
They want to be famous.
That's what it is.
tim pool
They think there was this very famous YouTube young woman who, like, had a mental breakdown after getting like a million plus subs.
Because what ends up happening is these people don't realize you're digging a hole and you get trapped in it where it's like, I think about bands that break up, right?
I was thinking about Fall Out Boy.
They were moderately big in the 2000s, and they broke up.
And then they got back together later.
You know why?
Because they got sick of it.
It was too much work.
This is my assumption, by the way.
I don't know exactly why they broke up.
They were probably like, I want to do other things.
So they quit.
Then the money dries up real fast.
And they're like, oh, I really enjoyed having tons of money and fancy living.
Let's go back to working.
So what happens to these young people is when they reach this epic proportion on YouTube, it takes a ridiculous amount of work.
And now all of a sudden they're trapped where they're like, I have my dream.
If I stop now, I'll lose everything.
And so they refuse to let it go.
And they get trapped in that cycle, become really depressed.
And then these people who watch, these kids, they think it's all glory and glamorous.
They don't realize it's... Man, fame and celebrity, all this stuff has always been glamorized.
And it's always just... It's just people don't get it.
It's not the case.
adam crigler
Newsflash, by the way.
I don't want to be a YouTuber.
You know, I am certainly enjoying myself.
I am.
I really, the critical thinking, I feel like I've learned an incredible amount of stuff over the past six months, you know, but my end game is not to just do this forever.
You know, I would love to further my music career.
I still really would like to do that.
Maybe I would try acting sometime like, or, or get into politics.
You know, I thought about that for the past couple of years.
tim pool
You know what the sword of Damocles is?
adam crigler
No, what is it?
tim pool
Do you know the story?
lydia smith
I'm familiar with this story.
tim pool
Are you confident?
Do you want to tell it?
lydia smith
I'm not confident enough to tell it.
tim pool
Well, my general understanding is basically this dude was like, so this guy, right, you know, he walks up to the king and he goes, yo, king, you're so lucky being king and the king's like, you think so?
And he goes, yeah, I wish I was king.
And he was like, I'll tell you what, how would you like to be king for a day?
And he's like, well, I'll be king, bro.
So then the king is like, all right, come back tomorrow and come sit on the throne and you're king.
He's like, dude, awesome.
So the dude shows up the next day and he sits down and he looks up and there's a sword hanging by a hair right over his head.
And he goes, what is this?
And the king's like, that's a sword about to drop at any moment being hung by a hair.
And the guy is like, I don't want to be king anymore.
I don't want to be king.
And the king basically said, you're a big target with a sword hanging over your head that could snap at any moment.
Everybody, you know, basically the gist is, When you're doing politics like this, you make enemies.
So actually, to wrap it up back to what we're talking about with Facebook's bias.
When Adam Krigler does a video where he's like, you know, you say you want to vote for Trump, then it goes up on Facebook and Facebook nukes it.
Yeah, because they're like, we don't like this guy, we're gonna come after him.
adam crigler
Well, it's funny you should bring up Trump also because he was told, all his friends were like, people are going to hate you.
You're going to get hated.
People are going to run you through the ringer.
And he's like, whatever.
It doesn't matter.
tim pool
Yeah, dude.
adam crigler
I feel like the country needs me.
And I believe it.
tim pool
I think it really does deeply affect him, though.
Because he's this guy who's always, like, could you imagine living your entire life with everyone praising you all the time?
Hit TV show, your name, big gold letters, everybody loves you.
They say the American dream is to be Donald Trump.
I don't know what it was like when he was younger though, but he had this period of adulthood where he was the best of the best.
Everyone loved him.
Now all of a sudden, the media was just tearing him to shreds every day.
adam crigler
I think that's coming to an end, though, because people are becoming aware of who he actually is as far as outside the media realm, you know?
tim pool
Yes, but I think the bigger issue is when a group of people romp around your town, smashing everything and destroying your life, you start to ask questions about what's really going on.
More importantly, When you notice that, you know, your friends and your family are suffering under the destruction of all these businesses, and the media won't talk about what's happening, you start to question, what are they talking about and why?
More importantly, when you see far-left people in all black smash up the window of your favorite restaurant, and then Jerry Nadler comes out, waddles up to the microphone and goes, Antifa is a myth.
You go, wait, what?
They just smashed up my restaurant!
adam crigler
Well, he didn't say Antifa, he said the riots in Portland were a myth.
tim pool
He initially said, I don't remember where he said it, somewhere in like a house committee.
adam crigler
Oh, okay, in a different time, okay.
tim pool
Yeah, maybe there's context here, it's missing, but the general idea was that Antifa is a myth.
And then when it was brought up to him by Fleca about the, Fleca is a YouTuber and personality, about the riots in Portland, he says, the rioting and stuff, that's all a myth, it's only talked about in D.C.
adam crigler
Yeah, only spread, only spread in D.C.
tim pool
So crazy when you have people in Oregon literally super chatting us during the show being like, I can't stand this.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Like these people need to stop.
Trump needs to send them in.
adam crigler
It's like, that's true.
That almost every show they're, they're super chatting us saying, look, I live here and this is insane.
We want, we want it to end.
I live here.
Please help it end.
tim pool
And you know what the funny thing about it is?
I posted a clip from some photos from Michael Tracy's reporting of the, there's restaurant, there's a market, it says, please don't hurt us.
Please don't hurt us, we support Black Lives Matter.
Nightmarish.
adam crigler
That's sad, yeah it is.
tim pool
It's horrifying.
I posted this and I get a response from someone saying, hey man, I live in Portland, everyone's fine.
And I'm like, here's an article from the Oregonian of people who own businesses downtown saying we're suffering.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
We need the police to solve the... Because the police are standing down in many instances and only dealing with the riots and the protests, crime has gone up apparently.
General crime.
adam crigler
What a surprise.
tim pool
Yeah, and so they're also saying nobody wants to show up.
Nobody wants to come down here because there's chaos and violence at night.
And the whole thing gets destroyed so people don't show up.
Now these businesses are suffering.
So you know what?
Fine.
Maybe for the most part Portland is okay.
But when did we ever be like, we're a nation of 330 million and we're willing to sacrifice those people.
Yeah, that 100,000 people?
In the gutter.
adam crigler
You know what, I'm going to take this moment to just shout out Philip Anderson because he is standing in front of them, in front of this entire crowd that's trying to bring down the courthouse and yelling at them to stop.
Please stop.
You guys are using violence.
And man, there's plenty of videos out there.
He's been banned twice on Twitter.
tim pool
And they're telling him, I watched that video you posted, the Antifa people are like, go home, get out of here.
And he's like, no.
adam crigler
Yeah.
He's like, no, I'm not, I'm not going to leave.
What are you talking about?
Like, I'm here because you guys are here.
Like, I want you all to stop.
Like, you know, he's like, you know, I am, I'm the person you say matter.
So if, if I matter, prove it to me.
tim pool
Think about this.
You've got these people, the silent majority, that don't stand up.
They mind their own business, they go to work, and now they're being forced to come out.
People like, what was his name, Phillip?
adam crigler
Phillip, yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, he's coming out.
He doesn't seem like a guy who normally does this.
adam crigler
No, you're right.
tim pool
You know, but now he's, now you did it!
Now you woke up people, they're getting all angry and they're coming out.
And it's, look man, Rasmussen's polling.
Trump is doing better than ever.
Maybe it's wrong.
Mm-hmm could be wrong could be a close race.
adam crigler
Oh, he's doing better better than ever for sure silent majority is massive It's not silent anymore, man.
They're standing up.
I see it I see it more and more now videos of people grouping up and There was I don't remember what town it was, but there was a small town in America where there was like a group of 10 Maybe 15.
I don't want to say Antifa I don't want to say Black Lives Matter because I don't know who was who anymore, but they were just Completely swallowed up by this American flag waving crowd and I was just, yes!
tim pool
Did you hear about the dude?
adam crigler
It felt so good to see that.
tim pool
Did you hear about the dude who tried to run over the Blue Lives Matter rally?
adam crigler
What?
No.
tim pool
I think it was, was that Colorado?
lydia smith
Eaton, Colorado, yeah.
tim pool
Eaton, Colorado.
adam crigler
Oh, man.
tim pool
He jumped a curb.
They arrested him.
Yeah, he jumped a curb and like drove at him, people got out of the way.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Yup.
The people who, see, here's the thing.
adam crigler
They're crazed.
tim pool
The people who are speaking up, you know, no longer staying silent, they get, like, they try to kill them, you know?
adam crigler
Yup.
tim pool
I think there's an obvious reason why.
They need to make sure they stay silent to keep the perception that this country is far left.
And it's really funny to me when I see these progressive pundits use excuses and manipulative polls to say things like, America really is a progressive country.
Here's the proof.
They do really clever things with polling.
Frank Luntz talks about this.
How they'll ask you a question and then draw a twisted conclusion based off what they ask you.
adam crigler
Right, okay.
tim pool
Like, would you be in support of deporting an illegal immigrant child from this country?
You know, like, on their own.
And then it's very extreme.
Most people say no.
And then it'll say, you know, 90% of people oppose deportations.
They won't give you the full context.
Of course.
adam crigler
Context is everything.
tim pool
Right.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
There's clever ways they can do this.
They can also ask you questions to guarantee the answer they want.
I don't have any examples off the top of my head, but it's basically just how they frame the question.
adam crigler
Like I just showed you, then you say, of course I would not... Ask an answer that there's only one answer, but insert a little bit of information that they can twist.
I see that a lot, actually.
tim pool
Would you support deporting people who, you know, entered this country illegally?
Yes or no?
And then you'll get, you know, a yes or no answer.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
But then you can taint the question, you know, children or, you know, the marginalized peoples.
lydia smith
Yeah, we used to do this all the time when I worked in a call center because we were doing outgoing calls.
We were asking people poll questions.
So we would ask them political questions and you could always tell who was funding it, even though it was usually like a PAC, like a super PAC or something.
I don't know what Progress for America is or why they're buying this person's polling data, but I'm reading these questions and I can
tell exactly what they want people to say.
And they're saying it.
tim pool
And you know what? Trump does it too.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
I love it. I love it. I get these emails and it'll be like, it's like, how would you rate the president's performance
in the past year?
Superb, excellent, great, other. And I just see it and I laugh.
But that's, I think, meant to be silly.
Like, because... You know, I was thinking about this when it comes to the culture war.
I was... What's that new PragerU video from Karlyn?
lydia smith
Karlyn?
Yeah, she's talking about going to a Trump rally.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And she talks about how the Trump rally, everyone's laughing and singing and dancing.
It's like a rock show.
adam crigler
And waving American flags.
tim pool
And then the Democrat thing is like doom and gloom and like depression.
lydia smith
Everyone's racist and horrible.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
I love that there's one line in there that just said, make America civil again.
And I was just like, yes.
Well, I think we need that.
tim pool
It's it's the true liberals and conservatives that are actually civil with each other right now.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And then you have the fringe far left.
And, you know, I'm this is this is true.
I've said I've said this before, but the far left wants Trump to win.
CNN wants Trump to win.
They do.
They do.
You see, CNN's ratings are going to tank if Biden wins.
So what they have to do is pretend they hate Trump while trying to find a way to actually make sure he wins.
adam crigler
Interesting.
tim pool
We'll see if they actually... I mean, it's an assumption.
I'm not saying it's true, but I'm saying what is true is that CNN has benefited greatly from Trump's presidency.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And Jeff Zucker, the president of CNN, he was the apprentice guy, right?
He ran NBC.
lydia smith
Yeah, he ran NBC, yeah.
tim pool
So they know that Trump is a goldmine.
That's why they love that he's in office.
lydia smith
Trump bump.
tim pool
Yeah, the Trump bump, they call it.
The far left feels similarly.
If Donald Trump loses and Joe Biden wins, all of these sleepy liberals will immediately disavow the far left.
The far left will be marginalized.
No one will support them.
No one will link arms to protect them because Joe Biden's president.
It happens every time.
When George W. Bush was president, you had the famous 2004 RNC, where a bunch of far leftists got arrested for having Molotov cocktails and shields and bats and stuff.
Then Obama gets elected and they don't do anything.
I mean, a little bit.
There was Black Lives Matter riots, but that wasn't targeting Barack Obama himself.
adam crigler
Well, there was a lot of Molotov cocktails last night in Portland.
tim pool
Yeah, they found a couple.
adam crigler
Well, they found a couple, but then there was also a bunch of... They weren't Molotovs, but they were mason jars sealed all along.
tim pool
But they found them.
adam crigler
They found them all, yeah.
Not the police.
The police reported that they found two Molotovs.
tim pool
Oh, but there's a bunch?
adam crigler
Yeah, this is a separate report of mason jars surrounding the fence that didn't have rags in them, but I can only imagine it was something flammable.
Probably something flammable.
tim pool
Yeah, this is one of their tactics.
They leave resources lying around for people.
The cops found magazines, loaded magazines, and mason jar molotovs with rags coming out.
Let's do this.
Let's jump over to the hypocrisy, because I really want to highlight this, and we're going to call out a high-profile activist.
I hate calling out people specifically.
adam crigler
Yeah, I agree.
tim pool
But what we're dealing with right now, let me just tell you.
A man in Austin, wielding a rifle, walks up to a car, gets shot and killed.
Some witnesses said he pointed it at the vehicle.
After the guy shot him, the driver shoots the guy with the gun, someone else, one of these, I guess, rioters at this point, started shooting the dude's vehicle.
He fled, the cops arrested these two guys.
This man, Garrett, who had the rifle, died.
So again, we have a photo of him holding the gun and witnesses said he pointed at the vehicle and then got shot.
adam crigler
So just a little context too.
I saw a couple different eyewitness videos of this.
Now, they were marching straight.
They were kind of all spread out.
I'm talking about the protesters.
And this car was just driving down the street.
It kind of like reached where the crowd was and honked a few times.
tim pool
It like bumped a barrier?
adam crigler
Kind of like, no there was no barrier.
No barrier?
It honked a couple times like, you know, get out of the way.
And you can see all of them were like...
Finally we can like take like our anger at someone they all turned and just Converged on the car and anyone within like a 30-foot radius turned and like came to the car So like imagine, you know what that would feel like if you're in that car surrounded by people They're all yelling and you look out the window.
And what do you see someone brandishing an ak-47?
It is an AK That's what yeah, that's what it was.
So I'm just giving a little context to what happened previous before, you know, the actual incident.
tim pool
Then, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
adam crigler
Five shots.
tim pool
Five shots, followed by three shots.
According to law enforcement, those three shots was someone from the protest shooting at the car.
This guy, Garrett, died.
A GoFundMe was launched.
The GoFundMe has raised over, let me see if I can pull it up, $107,824 and they disabled it.
I was wondering why GoFundMe allowed this and not a bunch of other GoFundMes that get deleted or taken down.
adam crigler
Good question.
tim pool
If this guy really did point that rifle, and he may have, we have video of him actually having his hand on the grip, If he succeeded in causing harm or threatening someone's life, this would have been taken down in two seconds.
Only because his life was taken, I suppose.
They're allowing it.
But what do you think the left is referring to him as?
I'm a martyr.
adam crigler
Of course.
tim pool
A martyr of the cause.
You know why?
Because the far left recognizes their right to the Second Amendment, their right to walk around with loaded guns, but not yours.
Because when it comes to the couple in St.
Louis, Kim Gardner seeks to stop Missouri Attorney General from meddling in McCloskey gun case.
That's right.
adam crigler
Oh, that's rich, when they were meddling with the evidence themselves.
Right.
Now, we did a full subject on this.
You can check our past videos, and we did a full segment rundown on that, so you can check that out.
tim pool
So, well, basically, the context.
When Patricia McCloskey, she had a handgun.
It was inoperable because the firing pin and spring were reversed.
They claimed that was intentional because they were using it as a prop in a courtroom.
They apparently, when it was delivered to the crime lab, they disassembled it.
It was inoperable.
So they disassembled it and reassembled it and then said it was readily available, you know, readily capable of lethal force.
Now, the left has argued, because I've talked to some leftists about this.
They said the crime lab was just trying to see if the weapon could work.
They weren't tampering with evidence.
And I think that is a total cop-out.
adam crigler
Absolutely.
tim pool
They're saying, no, the McCloskey's flipped the pin after the fact to make it seem like it.
And I'm like, that's conjecture.
You got no proof that happened.
unidentified
Correct.
tim pool
All we know is the weapon they received was inoperable.
adam crigler
And it was changed from when it entered evidence to now.
Right.
lydia smith
That's tampering.
adam crigler
That is tampering with evidence.
Period.
tim pool
I mean, their attorney said so, but the media's not saying it.
There's been no charges or anything.
adam crigler
Oh, the media.
Okay.
tim pool
Right.
unidentified
Sure.
tim pool
Well, so here's the bigger picture, man.
Here's the big picture.
How is it that if you are a regular person on your property, And a mob of people enter your private property and you legally say, get off my property.
You're a villain.
You're a villain.
And how is it if you're this guy in Austin with an AK and you walk in someone's car, they say, you're a martyr.
I'm now going to show you some Facebook posts from someone I normally don't like to highlight, but it needs to be done because this guy's got millions of followers.
And as much as many people really, really hate him, especially progressives, they really don't like him.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
He's one of the most prominent and well-known Black Lives Matter activists.
Alright, where's this awful image?
Sean King.
Here's what Sean King said.
That's Garrett Foster.
He was an unarmed, unarmed non-violent demonstrator last night in Austin, Texas.
Well, I gotta stop right there.
I'm sorry.
I gotta stop right there.
Let me just play a game with y'all.
Let me play a game of showing you a photograph of Garrett Foster holding his AK.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
This is the video where he's actually approaching the vehicle.
You can see it right here.
He's clearly, you know, he's holding the grip.
He's got the grip and like the look in his eyes like I'm coming at this person.
As far as I'm seeing right now.
tim pool
It's aimed down.
You can see the stock up in the air.
He's looking forward.
lydia smith
He's armed.
tim pool
He's armed.
lydia smith
That's all that matters.
tim pool
He's armed.
adam crigler
Yeah, absolutely.
tim pool
So why?
adam crigler
There's a video.
No, not only is he armed, there's a video of him talking about how he is proudly walking around exercising his 2A rights.
Yep.
And talking about what the gun is.
And how he was proudly talking about being armed.
tim pool
And he basically says, those who oppose us won't do anything about it.
adam crigler
That's true, he does say that also.
tim pool
And then he goes up to this car.
Look, what are they doing on his car?
What are they doing to this guy's car?
Why are they surrounding it?
Wearing masks?
adam crigler
Yeah, that's what I was saying.
They really just... Everyone in that circle around the car turned and just approached the vehicle.
tim pool
Right.
To clarify, the masks... I get it.
We're all supposed to be wearing masks because of COVID.
The point is, the driver doesn't know.
It doesn't matter.
A bunch of masked individuals running and yelling up to the car, due with a rifle, armed.
What did Sean King say?
Unarmed non-violent demonstrator in Austin, and was shot and killed protesting for Black Lives Matter with his fiancee, Whitney.
A man tried to run protesters over with a car.
lydia smith
Wasn't even moving.
tim pool
Then fired eight shots at them.
Not even true in the slightest.
adam crigler
Oh my gosh, it keeps getting worse.
Worse and worse.
tim pool
Who was pushing Whitney in a wheelchair.
I'm sorry, is he pushing somebody in a wheelchair in that picture?
lydia smith
Both hands on the gun.
tim pool
Maybe that's not really a gun.
Maybe he's just lifting the wheelchair up like this.
adam crigler
No, and I saw the video.
The car clearly comes to a stop, then honks, and then they all mob his car.
tim pool
You want to hit the nail on the head with a hammer right now?
Let's drive it home.
Here's the final portion of Sean King's post.
We're working hard in all 50 states and need your help.
Volunteer and donate now at grassrootslaw.org.
adam crigler
Yep, monetizing emotions.
That's all I'm seeing right now.
tim pool
Yep.
adam crigler
He is posting fake news.
tim pool
And you know what?
That's what he does.
Look at this.
128,000 likes.
adam crigler
51,000 shares.
People get emotional.
They get emotionally triggered when they see that.
128,000 likes.
tim pool
51,000 shares.
adam crigler
People get emotional.
They get emotionally triggered when they see that.
tim pool
Didn't he falsely accuse a cop of sexual assault?
lydia smith
I don't remember that.
tim pool
Yeah, can you pull it up?
Yeah, I'm curious.
There was like a big thing where he published this big fake news, I believe.
We'll get the source on it.
But let me, what do you think Mr. King had to say about the McCloskeys?
Certainly he would argue they're martyrs as well.
lydia smith
Oh, I'm sure.
tim pool
For this cause.
Innocent, you know, dwellers of their own homes, holding rifles, the same.
Certainly they were, oh wait, I'm sorry.
lydia smith
Wait, wait, what?
What's that?
tim pool
Here's what he says.
This is St.
Louis, and the armed people you see here are Mark and Patricia McCloskey, attorneys who did this when protesters walked past their house on their way to protest the mayor.
Protesters weren't even there for them.
Not a single person threatened them.
They pulled out an AR-15 assault rifle and a pistol and began aiming it at men, women, and children.
adam crigler
Oh my goodness.
tim pool
I think it's a story.
It's a story?
They treat it like a story.
03014 which says citizens are not allowed to exhibit any weapon capable of lethal use in an angry or threatening
manner now this one only Got 15,000 shares
22,000 likes but the point is when it comes to Their side they're the heroes when it comes to anyone else.
They're the villains. I think it's a story It's a story. They treat it like a story. Oh, did you find
the source about well?
lydia smith
I'm seeing here that Sean King used to work for the intercept which makes me kind of sad
unidentified
Yep.
lydia smith
And I'm seeing that he's being slammed for pushing a woman's now discredited accusation.
She accused Daniel Hubbard of assault, and he was wrong.
It says Shaun King was being slammed for pushing a woman's now discredited claim that a trooper assaulted her.
This is from, I want to say, 2018.
Yeah, so he's just lying.
adam crigler
He's just another storytelling media personality.
That's all they are, all these storytellers.
You know, we gotta come up with a name.
Not Grifter, because that can be applied to anyone, but there's gotta be a name for reporters, you know, these personalities that report news that is Fake.
I mean, yeah, that's fake.
It's like John Oliver.
I used to think he was funny.
I used to think he was so funny.
I laughed a lot.
And I kind of thought I would get some of my news from him.
Turns out he's making jokes on the fake media.
tim pool
Oh, he's adding to it.
adam crigler
You're absolutely right.
He adds to it.
But if you think the fake media is the real media, then he is funny.
tim pool
So John Oliver, he's a sophist.
It's like basically he takes a couple things to guarantee his argument is correct.
unidentified
Okay.
adam crigler
Good point.
tim pool
So I'll give you an example of how, you know, you can criticize me for not being good at
what I do for sure if you think I'm bad.
I did a segment about a former Democrat who was charged with voter fraud.
In that segment, as soon as I wrapped up the news on Democrat voter fraud, I highlighted
a story about a Republican who was also charged with voter fraud.
To make sure, I'm not trying to make it seem like only Democrats do, there's a Republican who was charged as well.
However, the stories were very, very different.
The Democrat was actually ballot stuffing, the Republican voted with a bad address.
So, but I did look up voter fraud, and I made sure, I was like, I saw this story about the Democrat, I'm like, I'm not just gonna do the Democrat, I gotta make sure, I'll do some searching.
Sure enough, a week ago, Republican as well.
I highlighted them both.
I want to make sure that I'm doing my best to be like, am I getting this right?
I don't always get it right, sometimes I miss things.
But often I trace the source of the stories to figure out what's really going on.
I can show you right here with this story, with this man, Garrett.
The double standard is obvious.
They're lying to you.
The media is lying to you.
The activists are lying to you.
This guy, Sean, look at him, man.
I mean, come on.
Unarmed, non-violent, please donate.
And here's the photo of the guy with the gun!
It's mind-blowing.
And 51,000 shares later, I tell you, too many people on the left get their news from memes.
adam crigler
I wonder how much money he made from that one post.
That one fake lie that he posted.
tim pool
This is where we're at.
Two people arrested after gunshots ring out near Portland protest site.
They found, uh, look at this.
These are the molotovs and the mason jars.
This is the loaded magazines.
I don't know what the red paint is supposed to be.
I don't know if somebody knows what that's for.
Is it like a commie thing?
I have no idea.
adam crigler
I mean, probably, like, you know, make them think they're cooler, like some sort of blood.
A lot of people were complaining about, like, well, how was it wet?
Well, it was in a bag with Molotov cocktails.
It was like a paint thinner.
What was wet?
You could see that the paint is still wet.
And they were like, they were trying to talk about it.
But it's like, if you think about it, a Molotov cocktail, I don't know what they were using as the flammable liquid that was in there, but most alcoholic things will thin paint.
tim pool
So it makes sense that it was a little wet.
I mean, I imagine there would just be gas.
That's what they do.
They go to gas stations.
And so here you have the current state of things, yet Nadler is going to say the riding in Portland is a myth.
adam crigler
That's crazy.
That someone in Congress, is he a congressman?
tim pool
Yeah, a congressman.
adam crigler
Doesn't matter.
Anyone of that standpoint in the government thinks that it's a lie.
Boldly saying it with a smirk on his face and then waddle away and get in the car.
The guy's like, oh man, we're going to get in trouble for you saying that.
Get in the car, old man.
That's what it felt like, you see how he was just like, get in the car, get in the car, stop talking.
tim pool
If you guys aren't familiar with Fleckas Talks, F-L-E-C-C-A-S, Fleckas, he does a great job because he's very polite to everybody.
I love watching his videos, he'll walk up to like some regular, he'll wear like a, what is it, what is it like, these highlighter vests or whatever, what are they called?
Reflective vest, there you go.
He'll walk up to people and he has an oatmeal spoon with a phone attached to it.
I love it.
He did this one segment that was fantastic.
It was called, Trump is not that bad.
And he walked up to people and he goes, do you think Trump is bad?
And they're like, yeah.
But he's not that bad, right?
And then most people are like, yeah, I guess he's not that bad.
That's it, that's it.
That's all the segment was?
adam crigler
That's funny.
tim pool
But it's true.
It's like you look how the media frames everything Trump does.
MSNBC had a woman on who claimed that Trump was talking about exterminating Latinos.
adam crigler
What?
tim pool
Yeah, I kid you not.
And it's like any person whose brain is on is going, what?
No way that happened.
Dude, no way.
I hear stories about Democrats all the time, and I go, no way.
Like, there was that viral tweet from AOC, where she was claiming, people were claiming she tweeted, we should keep our businesses shut down longer.
When I heard that, I said, no way, dude.
There's no way.
And it's like, some things, and that was a clever one, because it almost sounds plausible.
adam crigler
I know, yeah.
I saw that tweet.
I still see it floating around.
People tag me on it all the time.
unidentified
Not real.
tim pool
Is this real?
She says a lot of crazy things, though.
adam crigler
I can't confirm it.
tim pool
We have to get mean.
Speaking of AOC and young people who don't understand responsibility and accountability, we gotta talk about a couple of these protest videos that are going around.
I tweeted about them.
And I have some strong words for some of these people who have been arrested, but it must be said, and I already know people are going to start clipping the segment being like, you know, Tim and Adam are so mean, and you know, whatever, fascists.
adam crigler
No, I'm letting you say it.
You're the one saying it all.
I'm good, I'm just sitting here with my popcorn.
You can't see it, it's under the desk.
tim pool
There's two videos, okay?
I can't play them because YouTube would probably just take it all down.
But I'll show you.
Ian Milestrong tweeted, consequences will never be the same.
You see, this woman right here is getting in the face of what appears to be NYPD, screaming at them.
And they say, get back, get back.
And she goes, she says something like, under what grounds do you have a right to tell me to get back?
And then she, the guy says, get back.
She lunges into his face and goes, or effing what?
And then the supervisor goes, all right, she's coming.
adam crigler
Like, all right, that's it.
tim pool
So it's a different guy.
He grabs her.
And all of a sudden you can see the panic in her face.
She's like, guys, guys.
adam crigler
She starts trying to dip too.
tim pool
They pull her in and she starts screaming like a banshee.
And you know what I said?
This is what snowplow parenting creates.
People who have never been taught responsibility and accountability.
After cussing at the cops who tell her to get back, she gets arrested, then starts shrieking like a toddler who was just told they couldn't have another scoop of ice cream.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
I've seen it.
You've seen it.
Everybody's seen it.
You ever sit on a plane?
You're on a plane, and you hear a baby crying?
And you're like, oh, it's the baby again.
Like, we get it.
Babies cry.
What do you do?
You ever sit on a plane and you've got a toddler or a kid screaming and like kicking the seat?
And now you're like, alright, now this is different, okay?
I can be annoyed by the baby screaming, but if you won't tell your kid to stop, okay, we've got a problem now, because you can tell that kid to knock it off.
They don't do it.
Snowplow parents, the parents who want to be cool, let these kids, for their entire lives, do whatever they want.
And those kids grow up and this woman, you know what I wanted to tweet when I saw this?
I was like, I saw this woman screeching and I was like, you know, when the far left starts talking about white female privilege and all this stuff, white feminism, I watched this video and I'm kind of starting to understand what they're talking about.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
adam crigler
Well, no, no, no.
But you're onto something because if you think about it, Who do they hang out with?
They hang out with these people.
So who are their experience with who white people are to them?
It's these people!
tim pool
Wait, wait, so we have found the core of intersectionality.
We have figured out what's causing it.
It's literally like a bunch of people in New York hanging out with this Becky and she's going, I want more beer!
And they're like, we can't go to the, nobody has money.
unidentified
I want beer!
tim pool
And they're like, okay, geez.
lydia smith
I'm convinced.
tim pool
These white women, right?
unidentified
Man.
adam crigler
Did you see the guy that tried to see this dude with his go back, go back to.
All right.
So right next to her on the right.
unidentified
No, no.
adam crigler
On the right.
The guy with the phone in his hand.
That's not a cop.
Right.
So he, he actually was kind of trying to get her away.
But then when the cop grabbed her, he tried to get in between her and the cops and try to get her back.
Oh yeah.
He got, he got consumed too.
No one's talking about him either, but I see you.
tim pool
I see you, man.
It's arguably a joke, but I think it's actually kind of true.
They say, why is it that so many feminists think men are predators and all men are bad?
It's because they literally hang out with male feminists.
Male feminists are the perfect example of manipulative dudes.
You think about what kind of person, and not every male feminist, but I would say most, at least in my opinion.
People are going to get mad at me for that.
You think about a woman complaining about her day or whatever, and the guy goes, you're so right.
Men are so bad.
It's like, dude, shut up.
What are you talking about?
But these are the guys that are willing to just say whatever it takes to get the woman.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Guess what happens when it doesn't work?
Turns out these guys are often predators.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
And there's a meme about it called Reset the Clock.
So all these women are hanging out and surrounded by male feminists who turn to be predators.
And then they say, why are so many men predators?
Well, dude, you're hanging out with them.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Because they don't want... We got another video, though.
Because finally, I said, you know what?
The privilege is real.
In this video, this is, man, from Drew Hernandez at Lives Matter Show, breaking, arsonists and rioters are being arrested by federal police and are unsure why.
Yep.
unidentified
That caught me off guard.
tim pool
They are though.
unidentified
They can't figure it out.
adam crigler
Oh, that's funny.
tim pool
The woman's being arrested and she goes, she goes, I have no idea why this is happening.
Oh, did you not notice the person throwing the firebombs?
adam crigler
Oh my gosh, seriously, I was not expecting that.
I don't think that was meant to be a joke, was it?
Or was it?
No, that's serious?
tim pool
Breaking news!
adam crigler
They're not sure why they're being arrested!
tim pool
A lot of them aren't.
adam crigler
Oh, wow.
tim pool
Adam, you can't make fun of these poor people.
adam crigler
Don't tell me what to do.
tim pool
They really don't get it.
adam crigler
That's true.
They don't.
You're right.
They don't get it.
tim pool
I believe Styx Hexenhammer posted this meme.
It was great.
It was like, it's a guy wearing a sickle and hammer bandana, and he says, the government won't let me burn down buildings and beat random people.
Our country is truly a fascist country.
It's like, oh no!
adam crigler
Yeah, that's pretty good.
tim pool
These people, like I'm saying, man, who have been raised by these snowplow parents, always give whatever they want, genuinely don't understand why they're being arrested while partaking in a riot.
Like, why are the police arresting me?
We were just playing a game!
Well, here's what I said.
adam crigler
We were just playing a game?
tim pool
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
adam crigler
That's good.
tim pool
In the video, in the video, there's a woman yelling, you're really gonna do this to a nice young woman from Wisconsin?
unidentified
And I'm like, wow.
adam crigler
Did you see when she kicked the guy in the chest?
tim pool
She kicks him.
She kicks him in the chest.
adam crigler
And actually, there's another video I just saw from last night of the same kind of thing happening of a white progressive woman kicking officers trying to resist arrest.
It's like, what do you think?
What's your plan?
unidentified
You think you're going to fight them off and they're going to let you go?
tim pool
No!
Look, look, I see a lot of these tweets where it's like, you know, the CEO of Reddit tweeted about this.
He's like, I once got pulled over and I was, you know, he said he was like drinking and stuff and the cop was like, you're lucky the key's not in the ignition, let him go.
They talk about their white privilege.
There was this one woman who talked about how she came from like an affluent suburb and how she actually was like drinking and driving and they like let her go or whatever.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Yes.
Those stories are true.
These are truly the privileged children.
They're upper middle class and upper class.
Typically white, it's true.
They go to college.
Their heads filled with all this stuff about how they're special snowflakes and they're being oppressed.
And their whole life they were given everything they've ever wanted.
So what do you think happens when they get out of college and all of a sudden the real world is hard?
I'm being oppressed!
What do you mean I can't have two scoops of ice cream?
I always get two scoops of ice cream.
Ma'am, you have to pay for it.
No!
I'm being oppressed!
They show up to these riots and then are shocked to find you get arrested when you partake in rioting.
Isn't that crazy?
No, but they're used to getting away with everything.
adam crigler
Well, before we continue on, I want to just talk about those optics.
I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday about exactly that.
It's like, the media is where everyone gets, is who propels things into the internet verse, you know?
So when we hear a story of a white girl that got let off, even though she was drinking, driving, talking about it, whatever, and then we hear a story of, you know, a black man that got, you know, persecuted because the same exact He's out jogging or something, but it's like that's what we're
given like we don't know every every single Interaction we're right. We are given these things and as
Sean King proves this as in our last segment Emotions work. Oh, it's cash money
Triggering people's anger, their emotions, is what gets the clicks.
It's what gets the money in.
And that's what they're doing.
And that's what the media has become.
It's all about getting those clicks.
I just wanted to say that.
Yeah, keep going.
tim pool
Here's what I said of this.
Listen to the privilege in her voice as she resists and is shocked that police would arrest a quote, nice young woman from Wisconsin.
You're going to do this to me?
Are you serious?
Are you serious is becoming a meme, I kid you not.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Yeah, and Chill Dog.
Have you seen Chill Dog?
adam crigler
No, what's that about?
tim pool
So there was this radio host.
He's actually, people are assuming he's some far leftist.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
But he responded to Trump saying, I walked past, you know, the Chazz and everything seemed peaceful.
Chill Dog.
Then a month later, he's like, they torched my apartment building.
I need to buy a gun.
Okay, so everyone's dragging the dude, but the dude actually he's an alright guy like he's defended Trump
supporters in the past He's just a regular normie dude, and so that's the meme
chill dog This one is are you serious because whenever one of these
far-left riders gets arrested people start yelling. Are you serious?
What do you mean are they serious?
They're literally pinning someone to the ground and putting cuffs on them.
I don't think you can get any more serious than that.
They grabbed you, said, stop resisting, you're under arrest.
And then you went, are you serious?
No, I'm just kidding.
Here you go, get up and have a good day.
adam crigler
We were just here to play the game, all right?
We're just LARPing.
We're LARPing, all right?
lydia smith
Yeah, man.
tim pool
Here's what I put.
These people have never been held accountable for anything in their lives, have they?
I don't think so.
I think, you know, we've talked about snowplow parenting, and I think Jonathan Haidt talked a lot about that, right?
Like a lot of his research was talking about, what do you get if your kids never experience any obstacles?
You know what my life was like when I was a kid?
I had pretty good parents.
I was homeschooled when I was younger.
So before I even started school, like when I was like two or three, even younger probably, I was being taught stuff whether I could actually do it or not.
But when I was like seven, my mom would be like, when the lights turn back on, you gotta be home.
Have fun.
And I'd go out and ride my bike with my friends and we'd ride around the neighborhood.
adam crigler
In the south side of Chicago.
tim pool
On the south side of Chicago.
You know what happens to your kids, what happens to you today if you do that?
They'll probably call the cops on you and say you're being neglectful or putting your kids at risk or some stupid nonsense.
adam crigler
Not only that, there was a story about a kid that was playing in the front yard of the house.
Oh yeah.
And the parents got in trouble.
tim pool
It's so dumb.
adam crigler
It's like, what?
It's the front yard.
tim pool
It was so much fun when I was a kid, and I would try and go further than I've ever gone, and I would always get scared because on the south side of Chicago, where I grew up, it's a southwest area, southwest side, there's big, like every mile you have big, busy roads, so like Central and Cicero, and it was always scary to be a kid and reach that point, and I would get scared, and I'd ride back as fast as I could.
I'd be like eight or nine, I'd be like, oh I gotta go home, I'm too far, I'm too far.
I remember when I was real little, I would tell my mom I was going to go hang out at one of my friends' houses, and he lived maybe like six blocks away.
And when I'd get there, I'd start getting scared because I was too far and too close to Cicero, and then after like 20 minutes, I'd be like, I need to go home.
And that was it.
I was testing the boundaries, I was exploring, and I was on my own.
And when I encountered problems, I dealt with them.
When I would fall on my bike, there would be no one around me.
I'd hit a curb and fall down.
There's no point in crying.
There's no one there to help you.
adam crigler
The good old days.
tim pool
The good old days.
Man, my mom told me a story about how when she was little, it was the same thing.
You'd go on adventures and your parents were like, stay safe.
We trust you.
And there are bad people out there.
Don't talk to strangers.
Be careful.
Today, it's snowplow.
Gotta hold their hand, put them on a leash, don't let them do anything, but give them whatever they want when they ask for it.
And now here they are, shrieking, not understanding why it is that when you attack a federal officer with a Molotov cocktail, you get arrested!
You ever watch TV?
You ever watch a movie?
You know what I mean?
Like, you ever watch Law & Order?
You attack police, they arrest you.
No, it's TV.
It's not real life, I guess.
adam crigler
Oh, there's so much about this.
There's this one meme I was actually just trying to find.
I couldn't find it, but it was written from the perspective of a woman saying, like, I can't find, like a, you know, you have to pick a certain number out of five, and it's like qualities in a guy.
And it's just like honest You know got a job
Whatever there's a few of them, you know, but it's like that these people don't exist anymore on tinder and I was
just like Because they never went on tinder, you know, it's like and
that's kind of like a This was going back from the conversation about who they're
surrounding themselves with right?
You know these guys that that don't have the values because they're there already. They're out doing work and well
tim pool
It's it's it's an old like dating trope You know where you go to pick up a woman like you want to
you want to get a good woman?
You know where you're supposed to go to pick them up. Oh, I know you know where
lydia smith
Yeah, I would say church.
unidentified
No.
lydia smith
Or the library.
tim pool
Incorrect.
lydia smith
Tell me.
tim pool
Laundromat.
lydia smith
Oh, the laundromat!
Why?
tim pool
Because it's a regular person who's just doing their laundry.
You go to a bar, you find someone who's trying to party and have a good time and probably doesn't care.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
They say, I'm saying it's true, but when you actually say like, if you're really trying to meet someone who's going to be a good friend and a good partner and have a relationship, you don't go to a bar and you don't go on Tinder.
You go to a laundromat and there's a regular person just like you doing their laundry.
Or you go to the grocery store.
Regular people.
Now I know people at bars are regular people too, but people who go to bars are looking for that night out good time.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
I'm not saying it's true, it's just what they say.
People go on Tinder now.
The internet has really warped everyone's minds to a twisted and disgusting degree.
I gotta say, Twitter is awful.
adam crigler
Well, and actually I was having another conversation with another friend of mine who was talking about how he's on Tinder, he's in his late 30s, kind of fed up with it because every single woman on there is single with one or two kids.
tim pool
Cats.
adam crigler
Is that what they're called?
tim pool
No, cat.
unidentified
Meow.
adam crigler
No, no, no.
Actual kids.
tim pool
I know I have cats.
adam crigler
Human babies.
tim pool
I'm just saying they have cats, too.
Human babies.
Looking for them.
adam crigler
Well, I mean, but if you think about it, that became such a norm, like being single, a single mother with kids, like that was the average, you know?
So now, what is a mother versus what a father is?
Like the mother is nurturing and will always try to Snowplow if you will, you know in in not in all cases obviously, but then what would the father do?
It's like get up brush off the dust and keep moving forward, you know And it's like when we live in this world where it's it's an the norm where women are now single with their kids Cherishing their kids making sure their kids are taken care of because the man left them, you know I'm generalizing obviously, but it's like this is what we get it's these And it's not just women, it's the kids of that generation that have been raised without having two figures.
And it's not just, you know, a male figure and a female figure.
It's the two parents that, you know, will give a counter to any situation.
Like, whoa, whoa, no, they have to go to bed now.
Come on, go to bed, kids.
Like, whatever.
tim pool
It's two parents.
We talked about it before.
The only studies we have specifically reference two parents, and they're trying to do studies now on same-sex adoption and stuff.
But for now, it's like, have two parents.
adam crigler
That's the key.
tim pool
Have two parents.
adam crigler
Yeah, two parents.
tim pool
And so we are seeing a lot of single parenthood, mostly single motherhood, a lot because of hookup culture.
adam crigler
Hookup culture, I mean, then you've got to think about the welfare state from the 60s and how that's affected a lot of minority communities.
Because the government incentivized people to be single and you'd get more money from the government the more kids you had also.
tim pool
Well-intentioned.
adam crigler
The problems are vast.
Everyone needs to understand them at all angles.
It's never just one thing, ever.
tim pool
You know what?
At the very least, it's not about a traditional family.
It's about a modern family, right?
You know that show?
adam crigler
Yeah, great.
That's funny.
I like that show.
tim pool
But it's literally just have a family.
Like, have people who are going to be there to help raise kids.
Instead of, like, you know, with single parenthood, the single parent will go off to work and the kid is where?
In school or by themselves?
Who are they looking up to?
Who's teaching them?
I think we're in for a wild future.
adam crigler
Well, that brings up another side of it, too.
What does having a strong family give you?
It's confirmation that you are validated in life.
If you know your family loves you, and you get it from everyone in your family, a strong male figure, a strong female figure, your aunts and uncles, your grandma, and they all are like, we love you, you're awesome.
If you don't get that, You know, then you kind of get raised seeking it elsewhere.
So if you seek it elsewhere, then you lack confidence.
And then that's what I see with a lot of these people.
They don't have confidence.
They're missing that.
And that's what the family values will give you.
tim pool
Well, I mean, I think these far leftists who are shrieking have too much.
They're arrogant.
They're arrogant and narcissistic.
adam crigler
Well, ignorant also.
tim pool
Absolutely.
Yeah.
A lot of the gang stuff we've seen in Chicago is because they're looking for a family.
They're looking for people who will cheer them on.
People to look up to.
And there's a lot of illicit industry tied to it.
adam crigler
Exactly.
Who do they look up to?
Celebrities?
Or hip-hop artists?
unidentified
Gang leaders and drug dealers in Chicago.
adam crigler
Whatever it is.
If it's not a solid, upright... If it's someone who does crime, then the crime's gonna continue.
You know obviously now and they feel like we're steering it into something another conversation
I'm trying to keep it broad because it's it's everyone. It's not it's not a racial issue. You know well
I didn't say it was no I know I just want to make that apparent to everyone listening.
It's not a racial issue.
Anyone can fall into this.
tim pool
Well, these are white people.
True.
These snowplow children who are showing up with riots and shrieking.
adam crigler
But it's not just white people.
Anyone can be out there shrieking also.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, exactly.
Sure, we started by talking about these snowplow kids.
tim pool
You brought up a very, very important point earlier that I think is an excellent segue into the next segment.
Exactly.
Now, when you see these stories, it's the media choosing to highlight certain things.
adam crigler
Precisely.
tim pool
Now, the left has criticized this a lot.
That's why they say the media can't be objective, because what they choose to cover is their
adam crigler
bias.
tim pool
Exactly.
That's a fact.
It's absolutely true.
So, when you go to a certain news source, like the New York Times wrote about this Garrett
dude in Austin with a gun.
What they didn't tell you is the full context of what happened.
It really just gave you a one-sided framing because the New York Times has been totally co-opted by these lunatic insurrectionist lefties.
But I bring you now to an excellent piece of reporting by Michael Tracy.
He referred to this as a media scandal of epic proportions.
And it's really remarkable how little Technically.
Michael Tracy had to do to pull off one of these very, very, you know, one of the best pieces of journalism we've gotten probably all year in my opinion.
You know what he did?
He drove to a bunch of cities.
He went around asking people, how you doing?
That's it.
Okay, maybe I'm simplifying a bit too much, but he even says it.
What he did wasn't some revolutionary bit of journalism.
He went to Minneapolis.
He went to Green Bay.
He went to these smaller towns where people didn't even realize riots were happening.
Small towns saw riots.
And so he went to these people and said, how you doing?
What's going on?
And he got their stories.
adam crigler
Awesome.
tim pool
And he rags on the media.
This is it.
This is a really good point.
So I want to highlight this.
There's a couple things I really want to highlight.
I did talk about this earlier, but I want to jump right down to a couple photos that really exemplify what's happening right now.
You want to read what that sign says, Adam?
adam crigler
Please don't hurt us.
tim pool
Please don't hurt us.
What does the other one say?
adam crigler
Please don't hurt us.
We support Black Lives Matter.
tim pool
How nightmarishly dystopian.
adam crigler
And who are they talking to?
Who are they talking to, Tim?
I can answer this.
They're not talking to the police.
They're not asking the cops to not hurt them.
tim pool
Think about walking up to a cop and being like, please don't hurt me, I support Black Lives Matter.
The cop's gonna be like, okay, I wasn't gonna hurt you, what?
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
Or think about if you're actually getting arrested, you start saying that, no, no, don't arrest me, I support, they're gonna be like, what?
Even if you said I support Blue Lives Matter, they'd still arrest you.
adam crigler
Right, if you did a crime, you're gonna get arrested for it.
tim pool
Bevelyn Beatty, in New York, she's protesting for the police, and the police still arrested her.
adam crigler
And they... Well, she wasn't... Actually, she wasn't... She was actually going against Black Lives Matter specifically.
tim pool
She said, refund the police.
adam crigler
Okay, so she was doing it all.
I mean, she was dumping paint on the Black Lives Matter mural.
tim pool
And she was saying, refund, as in fund again, the police.
And the cops were like, we gotta arrest you.
And that's them putting their politics aside and saying, I'm sure they appreciated the support from this woman, they gotta arrest her.
So when these signs are coming up, this small business owner, please don't hurt us, we support Black Lives Matter.
Is that the future you want to live in?
Because I remember when I warned about this, when I said, go to the Bay Area and look at the signs and all the windows.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
I told the story about the bar I went to where they put up a sign in the window saying, we hate Trump.
adam crigler
And that was a while ago, right?
tim pool
A while ago.
adam crigler
I talked about years ago.
No, no, no.
When did you actually go?
tim pool
Yeah, this was this was 2017.
So 2017, you were walking around.
Oh, dude, I've been to the Bay Area several times, and it's all like this, where there's signs in the windows saying, we support you.
In other countries, it's the same thing.
If you want your business to be spared, you beg the far left for mercy.
And so I was at a bar.
And I was eating a chicken sandwich or something, and I saw in the window it said something like, Trump is a pig.
And I said, I noticed you guys have a sign like, how do you feel about Trump?
And the lady told me, she was like, oh I don't really care.
And I was like, so then who put up the sign?
And she was like, oh we did.
Why'd you do that?
They'll smash up the windows if we don't.
So they pretend to hate Trump because their windows will be smashed out unless they put these signs up.
Please don't hurt us.
We support Black Lives Matter.
So here's what Michael Tracy writes.
One of the Somali grocer's neighbors is a Mexican convenience store owner.
He said looters broke in and stole a significant amount of items.
Here are the safety precautions he took.
A safety precaution.
Please don't hurt us.
He mentions that another Lao American community center was boarded up with yellow tape.
But I want to highlight what he says about the journalist specifically.
He's got a ton of really amazing photos.
You guys really should check this guy out.
Follow him at mtracy on Twitter because I'm truly impressed by this.
He mentions how all he did was go to these places and talk to them.
Why isn't the national press talking about this?
Look, here's what he writes, this is amazing stuff.
I'm not a rocket scientist, and it doesn't take some kind of profound journalistic acuity to walk around riot-affected areas, talk to citizens, record their stories and impressions, take some photos and record some video, compose some tweets, and yet, I heard from hundreds of people across the U.S.
and the world who were shocked that they had never been aware of what happened in Minneapolis and St.
Paul, if not for my dinky little Twitter thread.
When I visited a month after the peak of the riots, much of this major American metropolis still lied in ruins.
Not that normal life hadn't mostly resumed, it had.
But it resumed in the way that war-torn areas configure some ad hoc routine that enables the resumption of semi-normal activity amidst the rubble and despair.
In speaking with locals, many of whom had lost their livelihoods and or had to plead for their children not to be burned alive, it often seems like the extent of the ruination they've experienced was barely ever appreciated in the first place.
There are several potential explanations for why.
I want to read these, but I do want to point out...
He does tweet that you typically don't get stories like this from low IQ right-wingers either.
I think the real issue that we're facing is most of real journalism of like reporting is dominated by the left.
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
Conservatives tend to do commentary on the reporting, responding to it, instead of setting the narrative themselves.
This is not, I don't think it has anything to do with low IQ right-wingers.
I think it has to do with the fact that the right is more, here's the story, here's how we feel about it, instead of Hey, that story is more important.
I want you to tell me how you feel about it.
So you end up with left-dominated narratives.
But I want to point something else out as well.
Specifically where he says this.
Let me find the first sentence.
He says, while the most extreme riots in cities like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and particularly Minneapolis did receive considerable attention, however fleeting, incomplete, and unnecessarily inflected with knee-jerk partisanship, there were also smaller-scale riots in surprisingly far-flung places that you hardly would have known about unless you lived in the area, happened to visit, or intentionally sought out what remains of the Bare Bones local media coverage.
To take just a small sampling, Atlantic City, New Jersey, Fort Wayne, Indiana, Green Bay, Wisconsin, and Olympia, Washington, all underwent significant riots, at least per the normal expectations of life in these relatively low-key cities.
Did you hear anything about them?
Because I hadn't.
And I'm abnormally attuned to daily media coverage.
Only because I personally visited did I learn of the damage.
I've been talking about this too, man.
People don't realize these small towns were ransacked and destroyed.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Did the mainstream media talk about it?
No.
Are they talking about what's going on in smaller towns to this day?
They're not.
adam crigler
I haven't heard about this either until just now.
I feel the same.
I'm constantly searching and looking into this kind of stuff.
tim pool
He's got the receipts.
Check it.
Look at this.
This is Atlantic City.
Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Where are we coming down to?
Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Look at this.
The post office is boarded up.
Justice for Brianna, you can see all these businesses in all these small towns were seriously impacted by extreme riots.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Now here's the big question.
Why aren't we hearing about it in the mainstream media?
Well, he gives us some insight.
Michael Tracy says, the media and its characteristic insularity in myopia has instead chosen to pathologically fixate on a constant stream of culture war inanities that stem loosely from this ongoing movement.
Such as the propriety of various statues and monuments, whether various food brands and sports teams are racist, and whether various micro-celebrities need to be cancelled for some imagined transgression.
You wanna know why I'm so impressed by this reporting?
adam crigler
Why?
tim pool
Because I'm guilty of those things too.
My cultural commentary, my reactions, the stories we do, we follow the mainstream narrative very much so.
adam crigler
That's a good point, you're right.
tim pool
Now, I try to break through what they report and figure out what they got right and got wrong.
But where are the people to actually go onto the ground and travel around these small cities?
I tell you, I am inspired by the simplicity, and that's gonna be one of my goals as we move to expand, to make sure that I can empower people to literally do this.
I'm not gonna chase after the silly mainstream narrative.
I'm literally planning on this in the next month or so.
Hire some people and say, pick a city, go there, talk to people.
End of story.
That's originally why I got the van.
I wanted to drive through all of these really rural, far-off places and just talk to people.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You know, it became too hard to actually maintain and run everything at the same time.
But I think now, I'm absolutely inspired to do this.
Let's read some more.
He says, they are also beset by various hyper-moralizing staff revolts within their own elite institutions, leading them to adopt an inordinately inward editorial disposition on account of their own neurotic personal issues.
That is an amazing sentence, by the way.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's so spicy.
tim pool
I love it.
Under these narcissistic conditions, real-world human suffering becomes less of a pressing concern.
It is not just these journalists, it's the activists in general.
I can't tell you how many people I know where I said, please, please talk about this man in Minneapolis who had his dream business burnt to the ground.
And they say, no, you're just trying to make the activists look bad.
I don't care about a revolution or a movement.
I care about the people whose lives you're destroying.
The people whose lives have been lost.
adam crigler
Yeah, as most people do.
That's what they're looking at.
They're like, what about the wake of your flames that you're setting as you march forward for justice that has already been had?
It doesn't even make sense anymore.
tim pool
They lie.
adam crigler
And that's why that graph, I don't remember where the study is from about Black Lives Matter, the approval rating of it is just dropping and dropping because people are upset.
They're seeing these Antifa break windows and, you know, destroy people's lives.
There it is.
Look at that.
Support is dropping.
tim pool
And they argue, they're now trying to claim Donald Trump was trying to make this happen.
Trump didn't do anything until July.
Opposition was growing without Trump.
Trump only stepped in because he realized people were getting angry about all this.
And so finally he comes in, now they're like, Trump was trying to make it happen.
He was ignoring it.
He was not engaging.
And I was getting mad.
I was like, why won't he do anything?
He finally does.
And now he's addressing the needs and concerns of many people who are opposed to this.
Man, I'm about to get really angry, alright?
I'm going to read these, but I want to show you, you guys, I want to show you what made me the angriest I've been in a long time.
The angriest.
The next thing he says is, journalists, editors, and pundits believe, either consciously or subconsciously, probably some half-scandalous combination of the two, that highlighting the harmful after-effects of these historic nationwide riots would somehow redound to the political benefit of Trump.
Which to them would be the most disastrous outcome of all.
This probably isn't even correct.
Trump is currently seizing every opportunity to shoot himself in the foot all on his own.
But the media class is nonetheless mortified to even contemplate the possibility that anything they might do could conceivably help him.
In other words, the media have become an activist organization for Democrats opposed to Donald Trump.
adam crigler
Yep, absolutely.
tim pool
I was at VidCon several years ago, I believe this may have been either 2016 or 2017, where the president of a very large digital news organization said straight up on stage, we work with anti-Trump activists at the highest level to help produce content.
And I was like, what?
Why is a news organization working with activists?
He's got more. He says, These same media class members are themselves deeply
invested in what they regard as the movement.
However diffuse and ill-defined this movement may be, and they are extremely reluctant to produce
any coverage which might reflect poorly on said movement and potentially undermine its
moral and political legitimacy. I agree with him.
I agree with him completely.
And now I want to show you the most triggering thing I had seen when I was reading through this story.
It set me off, man.
It is an image of what was once an auto repair shop.
I want to read this for you.
Check this out.
The shell of what was once an auto repair shop operated by an Ethiopian immigrant still sits burned out and destroyed, leaving the man out of work potentially for months, he said.
The man, who like many others did not want to conduct a formal interview, remarked that he now has nothing to do all day.
His tools and equipment were also destroyed.
And that was it.
Ethiopian immigrant.
You see, it's one thing when they smash your windows and you put up a board saying, please don't hurt me.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
It's another thing when they make sure that you will never succeed ever again.
They destroy your tools.
The building could maybe be repaired, but he can't even do work in his parking lot.
These people made sure that when they destroyed his business, the earth had been laden with salt, so nothing would ever grow again.
An Ethiopian immigrant, man.
Why did he deserve this?
Did his life matter to them?
The answer is no.
Like we talked about with the story of the McCloskeys and Garrett, they only care about power for themselves.
Regular people will suffer, and so be it.
They call a guy in a car a Nazi for protecting himself from a man with a rifle.
They call the McCloskeys criminals who should be arrested for defending their property from an angry mob that has already been associated with this kind of destruction.
And what do we get from democratic leadership?
They join in.
I can't imagine what these people must be thinking to see the images of the Democratic governors and mayors marching with these crowds and then telling them, your business must remain closed because of COVID.
I'm going to go out and march.
I imagine one of these individuals must be sitting in their burned out building saying, my dream and my life has been destroyed.
And they turn on what remains of their rubble laden, rubble ridden TV.
And there's an image of the governor smiling saying, that's right, Black Lives Matter.
And that's the life they have now.
From these people who romp about destroying everything.
And you know what's funny?
Trump is saying, I'm going to send in law enforcement if they request it.
He hasn't.
adam crigler
Well, because they haven't.
tim pool
Exactly.
Right.
They try and claim that Trump is deploying the Gestapo secret police all across the nation.
Some of these people are probably begging for it.
adam crigler
In fact, there's one story, one, where they picked one person up.
I haven't seen anything else.
tim pool
There were two viral videos.
adam crigler
Oh, okay, there's one other?
tim pool
There's two viral videos.
adam crigler
Because I haven't seen another viral video of anyone being black bagged, as it were.
tim pool
It's not true.
adam crigler
It's just that one person.
tim pool
It's literally not true.
As if police don't use unmarked vehicles, as if no one has ever been detained by a plainclothes cop before.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And now I see memes from the left saying things like, what if they were right-wing militia?
Yeah, what if the guy wearing a polo and jeans who walked up to me and arrested me wasn't a cop either?
What are you going to do about it?
It's problematic, I agree.
But they're acting like this is special.
They do this all the time.
You get a Republican in office and all of a sudden every single instance of law enforcement is fascism.
You get Obama in office and it's, you know, whatever.
It's kind of bad.
But I think the main issue for the most part is the default liberal types.
The far left has always ragged on Obama, to be completely fair.
They ragged on Bush, they ragged on Obama, and they ragged on Trump.
Okay, I get it.
But it's the mainstream liberals who are willing to just lie down as soon as they get their guy in office.
So you know what, man?
Right now.
Donald Trump is deploying some federal agents for investigatory purposes.
They're not going to go on the beat.
They're not going to walk around streets.
Some people in Chicago are asking for it.
There's a story from Reuters I covered.
People in Chicago are saying we desperately need the help of Trump and the feds.
Unsurprising.
Of course they do.
Because the mayor has abandoned them.
Yep.
adam crigler
Not only a band of them has joined in.
tim pool
Absolutely.
adam crigler
And just given in to the demands of the rioters.
So it's even worse.
tim pool
Reminds me of this meme.
All of it.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Reminds me of this meme right here.
adam crigler
The more I learn about this man, the more I respect him, the more I think he's doing a great job for our country.
I have a lot of friends of mine, I have family members of mine that have been like, I watch your show, and I can't believe that I'm actually going to vote for Donald Trump this year.
tim pool
I'll tell you what, I'm disappointed.
adam crigler
In who?
tim pool
In what?
In everything.
I'm absolutely disgusted by the Democrats.
I am enraged by them, and I'm disappointed generally that, for me, Donald Trump is the only choice right now.
You know, I guess it's kind of like the saying, it reminds me of this old kind of, it's not really a joke, it's kind of a joke.
I think I told it on the show before, but I'll say it now.
It's a religious joke where a guy is in his house and a flood starts.
Remember, I told you this one?
Let's tell it again.
Check it out.
So the guy's in his house and a flood starts and there's water swimming through the streets.
The neighbors run to his house and say, quick, quick, come out and jump in our car.
And, you know, we need to get out of here.
And he goes, no, no, no, I'm going to wait for my Lord to save me.
And so they say, no, are you crazy?
You have to come with us.
And he goes, I'm going to pray to the Lord to save my life.
They leave.
The water rises and he runs upstairs.
He starts praying again.
Please save me.
Please save me, Lord.
Now a boat pulls up his window and the guy says, hop in the boat quick.
We're getting out of here.
The flood water is too high.
And he says, no, no, I'm praying to the Lord to save me.
I'm going to, I'm going to, my Lord will save me.
Are you crazy?
Come on.
He goes, no.
He leaves.
The water keeps rising.
He climbs on his roof.
Now a helicopter comes.
They throw a rope ladder down.
unidentified
Quick!
tim pool
Climb up before you die!
And he goes, No!
I'm praying to the Lord to save my life.
The helicopter guy says, You're crazy!
But he refuses.
The floodwaters rise and the man dies.
He goes to heaven.
And finally, when he gets to speak to his Lord, he says, I prayed and prayed and prayed.
Why didn't you save me?
And the Lord says, I sent a truck.
I sent a boat and a helicopter.
You wouldn't take it.
And that's the joke.
The point is, you think you're gonna get a perfect vision of what's supposed to come and help you out of this crisis.
And I cannot believe that it's come to the point where two years ago I was laughing like, I'm never gonna vote for Donald Trump.
Now it's so bad with the riots, and I kid you not, they arrested two small business owners only a few miles from my house because they wanted to do a small limited membership only gym opening.
A couple handful of people.
And so the governor's like, lock them up.
They're letting prisoners out of the jails, out of the prisons.
adam crigler
I think it was like 8,000 in California or something like that.
Some ridiculous amount.
tim pool
I'm sorry, man.
For all of the faults that Trump has had that made me angry and upset or laugh and like, I'm not, you know, now at this point where I'm like, what am I supposed to do, vote for Biden?
So I'm disappointed that I'm like, I normally wouldn't care to vote for Trump or especially not Biden, especially not Hillary.
But I know that Trump is a funny guy.
I just could never expect that the highest office of our country would be to a reality TV real estate mogul comedian who at least loves the country.
adam crigler
With an economics degree.
tim pool
Sure.
You know, he's a billionaire.
adam crigler
He knows what he's doing.
tim pool
He's a real estate mogul, you know.
I think he's a smart guy.
I think he's very successful.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
And the reason I told that joke about, you know, expecting this perfect solution to save your problems, is that maybe right now the only thing we have is Trump.
So for all of the things that he's had or done where I'm like, I roll my eyes and I'm like, I would prefer someone better.
At this point, what's our choice?
Joe Biden?
Even Joe Rogan said it.
Rather vote for Trump than Joe Biden.
You gotta think about what Joe Biden represents and what's happening in this country right now.
And then it becomes a very, very difficult position.
It's not easy.
Absolutely not.
adam crigler
It is for me.
I'm voting for Trump.
tim pool
Not for me.
My liberal sensibilities.
Sure.
I see Trump and I see a lot of things that I'm totally fine with.
Okay.
I see a lot of things where I think he's, like, the easiest thing is character issues.
But for the most part, he's absolutely done a better job on a lot of issues in the past couple of years.
adam crigler
But now we're at a point where... Once he's able to finally start doing his job because he hasn't been hampered down by a certain group of people trying to bring him down.
unidentified
I'm...
tim pool
I personally am not confident that... Well, I'm confident the economy will do well.
But I'm still concerned that under a Donald Trump presidency, there will be a lot of problems facing our nation and the world.
But that's irrelevant at this point.
The nation is crumbling.
The Constitution is riddled with holes in Swiss cheese.
Joe Biden is one of the architects of so much of these problems.
The Democrats are joining in the chaos.
The Democratic governors are arresting people for opening their businesses and locking down their states, and some Republicans too.
And so right now I'm like, well, the ship's sinking.
I guess I'm tossing my hat over to Trump.
adam crigler
It's probably a good time to invest in some... Some gold?
Glass stock.
tim pool
Glass?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Oh, because of all the replacements?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Find your local glass company, invest heavily because they're going to be put in business.
lydia smith
They are busy.
tim pool
Yeah.
So, look, this meme.
In reality, they're not after me, they're after you.
I'm just in the way.
I'm like... I believe it.
I do.
Trump is in the way.
Can I get my... I don't like him.
He's a funny guy.
I don't like him.
But you know what?
adam crigler
I'm just over here like...
tim pool
Well, here's the main point.
Of all the problems, do I think the obnoxious bully is going to make a beautiful and glorious future for everybody?
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
I recorded some voices for Adam.
unidentified
Excuse me.
adam crigler
I have an answer to that.
tim pool
Excuse me.
adam crigler
Yes, he is.
Absolutely, yes.
tim pool
It doesn't matter.
This is the more important point.
I do not.
I feel confident the economy, don't get me wrong, but I look at the people he's hired, John Bolton.
I'm not confident he's going to hire the right people, but it doesn't matter anymore.
You know why?
Because they're literally burning everything to the ground.
lydia smith
The alternative is worse.
tim pool
The alternative is beyond worse.
The alternative is oblivion, outright oblivion.
adam crigler
I look at that and it's like he came into office not as a politician becoming a politician becoming
the highest honor of the land like the president of the of America, you know and
Half of the half of the government right off the bat hated him still hates him still hasn't just even
Accepted that he won in 2016 still to this day, you know And then who knows how many people they were being like,
you know Make him look as bad as possible. Even if they hire if he hires
you make him look terrible Let's let's undermine everything we can to get him out of
office, you know now like he brought in bar, you know I like bar. Well, he's all he started you can see it that
he's starting to be like get into the flow You know of understanding his powers, you know Rex Tillerson
What is it Rex Rex Tillerson Tillerson talks about how he was kind of sick of having to tell Trump, you know
is what you can't do. No, no, and he said, I liked almost every single idea that Trump had,
almost all of them. But he was annoyed because Trump was just like, why can't we just do this?
And he would be like, because legally we have to go through all of these things. And Trump's like,
oh, like, I just want to, I want to fix all this. Like, let's do this. So he's had his hands tied
behind his back.
tim pool
Well, no, hold on.
This is actually a very common problem with business people becoming politicians.
When you own your own company, you're like, I see the problem.
Boom.
Fixed.
When you're in government, you're like, I see the problem.
Let's submit to committee and we'll hear back in three months.
adam crigler
And then when half of that committee hates you because you ruined their whole plans to... Or you're costing them money.
Same thing.
tim pool
Their stocks, their interests.
adam crigler
As far as these people, that's their plans.
Their plans are money.
That's what it is.
tim pool
Or their re-election and their constituents are screaming Orange Man bad.
adam crigler
Come back to this meme.
Cut back to this meme.
Now with a little more context, it makes even more sense.
Because they're after everybody.
They want...
And he's just in the way.
And now he's learning how to really use the powers of the president to the best of his
abilities.
I want to see four more years.
I can't wait.
tim pool
I think he did face a learning curve his first time in government.
Many bad choices.
John Bolton was one of the most laughably stupid things and he's hired a bunch of really
dumb people.
Many bad choices.
I'm hoping, I'm hoping that because the alternative is like everything burning to the ground,
that if Trump gets re-elected and Republicans take over, they're going to fix several things
like section 230, for instance.
adam crigler
I would love that, yeah.
tim pool
It's crazy to me.
adam crigler
End the war on drugs.
tim pool
End the war on drugs.
Bring our troops back from the Middle East.
Man, I just want Trump to walk up on November 2nd and be like, decriminalizing marijuana federally.
All gone.
Everybody's being released. We're good. Don't worry.
We're gonna make sure the violent ones stay inside.
I'll be like...
Alright, let's do this.
I think so many people- he would probably win every single state, every single vote, if he did that.
adam crigler
Probably.
tim pool
What are they gonna do?
Come out against marijuana legalization?
They would.
They'd try.
adam crigler
They would.
tim pool
Actually, Trump is wrong because some of these people- nah, uh-uh.
adam crigler
Well, he made hemp legal, and I didn't know that until I started researching into him, and that's awesome.
Like, we don't have to chop down trees to make paper or clothes.
Like, hemp makes Oh man, there's countless things.
You can make fuel out of hemp and it grows like that.
It's crazy.
I'm not talking about the people that smoke THC weed.
I'm talking about an actual application.
tim pool
Crop, paper, CBD.
adam crigler
CBD, hen, hemp.
Yeah, it's incredible what we can do with that.
Man, there's a lot, lots of stuff.
tim pool
And he did prison reform.
I think now that he brought on a bunch of people he shouldn't have.
He's getting bad advice from people.
He needs to get rid of the bad people.
But you know what, man?
At this point, it doesn't even matter for me because I'm like, if Biden wins, Biden
will be walked all over by the far left.
He already is.
He'll fall asleep.
And then it'll be the Obama administration all over again.
And people don't realize the horrific things they were doing.
I'm worried that there's gonna be a whole bait-and-switch with Trump.
adam crigler
Oh, with Trump?
tim pool
Yeah, because he fired the missiles in Syria.
He's been doing drone strikes, he's been doing commando raids.
Now, but to be fair, in the past couple of years, he's been pulling, you know, drawing things down a little bit.
adam crigler
And who was the person that he was working with?
Oh yeah, Bolton.
tim pool
Exactly.
adam crigler
And who's a warmonger?
Oh yeah, Bolton.
tim pool
He's THE warmonger.
adam crigler
The, excuse me, THE warmonger.
tim pool
I'm hoping.
adam crigler
Interesting.
So while he was doing all that, no, while he was doing all that, who was the one that was helping him, whispering in his ear, like, this is what we need to do.
Bolton.
So he was doing all that.
tim pool
Here's what I want.
adam crigler
Now, got rid of Bolton.
I just want to finish this.
Got rid of Bolton, now what is he trying to do?
Bring the troops home.
tim pool
So here's what I want.
I want Trump to be so angry with John Bolton, he ends all this war just to spite him, because Bolton writes that book and starts ragging on him.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I want Trump to hold a grudge and be like, you cross me, oh yeah, I'll pull all our troops back.
I'll be like, yeah, Trump, you show him.
Bring our troops back from the Middle East and from Syria and from these other countries where they shouldn't be.
adam crigler
Right, right.
tim pool
That'd be amazing.
adam crigler
Yeah, I have friends that are stationed out in Europe right now, just in case.
tim pool
Yeah, I can't believe how many liberal friends I have are like, well, the war, actually.
I'm like, great.
Trump's going to announce he's going to decriminalize pot, and they're going to be like, but you know, there are issues.
adam crigler
I would love to hear their argument for that.
lydia smith
They did it with war.
tim pool
Yeah, they did it with war.
You know, I was reading this neocon who talked about the importance of American imperialism.
No, no, no, no, no, no, sorry.
You can't be mad at Trump for firing the missiles when I agree with you, and then all of a sudden you're mad at Trump when he's pulling them out, because now I disagree with you.
What you're doing makes no sense.
No principles.
Well, how about we take this opportunity to jump over to the Super Chats.
unidentified
Yes!
tim pool
If you haven't already, make sure you lightly tap that there like button.
adam crigler
No, no, no, no, no.
Hold on.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
tim pool
Wrong.
adam crigler
You smash that like button.
I'm having fun with my soundboard, by the way.
tim pool
You smash it.
adam crigler
I'm not done.
You smash that like button.
Okay, continue.
tim pool
Adam asked me to record some Trump impersonations.
Wrong!
No, that's correct, actually.
adam crigler
Actually, yeah, it is.
tim pool
Excuse me.
Yes.
So now he can make my Trump sounds.
China.
lydia smith
At Tim.
tim pool
At me.
China.
adam crigler
It's great.
Those are actually Tim doing that, so that's pretty good.
tim pool
Also, subscribe!
If you haven't subscribed, hit the like button and the notification bell.
We're gonna read your superchats now!
And if you really do like the show, spread the good word of TimCast IRL.
Just tell everybody we're the best!
We're on all of the... We're on all?
unidentified
We are, yeah.
tim pool
On all platforms?
lydia smith
I think we're on all.
adam crigler
I do want to say thanks for the person who sent me this epic button board.
This is a... I can smash the buttons.
lydia smith
Oh, cool!
adam crigler
And it does things.
It makes sounds, I guess.
So, this is pretty insane, this thing.
Look at this beautiful sound box.
tim pool
Cool.
adam crigler
Custom made.
tim pool
Made of real wood.
lydia smith
Gotta make it work.
unidentified
Yeah, alright.
tim pool
Alright, let's read some superchats.
We got Ryan Duffy.
He says, I disagree with the anti-YouTuber sentiment.
I want to be a YouTuber.
It's not for fame.
It's to share my experience and hopes that has a positive impact on people.
Fame is just a resource to help broaden the potential impact.
Love you guys.
Appreciate it.
adam crigler
Okay, well, alright.
On that note, you have something that you are able to give to people.
You know, when you have a child who's like, I want to be a YouTuber.
And if that is their goal, then, you know, I mean, and this is the general consensus of, there was a poll about asking kids what they want to do when they grow up, and it was a YouTuber, be an influencing YouTuber, Canada, same exact, same answer, you know, and they asked Chinese kids, you know what they wanted to be?
tim pool
I know the answer, do you want to say it?
adam crigler
Scientists.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
So, there's nothing wrong with wanting to be a YouTuber if you have something to say, like what you just said.
If you have a voice, and you have a solid backing of what you want to give to people, and people want to listen to it, by all means, be a YouTuber.
That's awesome.
I didn't start out wanting to be a YouTuber, and I have a lot of experience doing many different things in my life, so it helps me be a YouTuber like I am now.
It's not that there's anything wrong with it, but the fact that our kids, that is the sole thing that they want to do.
You can't ignore that that is a problem.
We can't have everybody just wanting to be YouTubers, trying to influence each other to be YouTubers.
It'll be a cycle of everyone just ends up being YouTubers and then the doctors, the scientists.
We used to glorify scientists and doctors and astronauts.
That's what we need.
tim pool
Elon Musk we still kind of do it.
adam crigler
And he's one of my heroes.
Yeah, absolutely.
tim pool
Right on.
adam crigler
I never said that there's anything wrong with being a YouTuber at all.
It's about having a voice, having something there.
Build yourself and then be a YouTuber.
Have something to give to people.
You clearly do.
So that's great.
tim pool
There you go.
So we're going to read some more, but make sure you follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Parler at TimCast.
You can follow at AdamKrigler on the same platforms, Instagram, Twitter, and Parler.
And you can also follow at SourPatchLids, L-Y-D-S, on Twitter and Parler, too.
And let's read this year's Super Chat from Ian Hawley, says to General T. Poole, Salty Army, First Division HQ, please use this money to facilitate the move of your overlord, the cat.
Yes.
Is it too late to vote Alien Invasion 2020?
It is not.
Do it to it.
adam crigler
This is not spinning fast enough.
tim pool
Spin it!
adam crigler
That's basically like a spin UFO.
tim pool
Absolutely.
I had a rough childhood, but I'm well off now.
unidentified
100% agree.
tim pool
So I have to manufacture challenges for my two kids.
I cannot tell you how many friends and family members tell me I'm being too hard on them.
My mom-in-law is the worst, even though her parents were super strict and she lived on
a farm."
Kids gotta have challenges, man.
You can't just give them whatever they want.
adam crigler
Absolutely.
100% agree.
tim pool
Definitely.
Hello, Tim, Adam, and Lydia.
First-time donor, long-time listener.
My husband and I own a house in northwest Chicago.
We just received our previous owner's vote-by-mail application.
What should we do with it?
Keep up the great work.
I have no idea.
I have no idea.
adam crigler
I don't know.
tim pool
That's a problem.
adam crigler
Shout out to the northwest suburbs.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
Where I grew up.
tim pool
I don't know.
I don't know what you do with it.
What do you do when you get someone else's mail?
lydia smith
I Google it.
tim pool
Return it.
lydia smith
I try to shred it.
tim pool
Return it.
Call the post office.
Tell them to take it back.
Yep, that's a good— Joseph Kasky says—return to sender, I guess?
adam crigler
Yeah, maybe.
tim pool
Joseph Kasky says, this is the evergreening of America, and I have been regularly telling everyone around me the history of these current events.
Critical theory in action.
We could have had Tulsi or Yang, but the neolibs refused to give up their grip.
Yes.
There could have been a slightly left-er-leaning populist who was willing to work with conservatives, appear on their shows, argue with them, and actually come to a compromise.
Instead, it was far left or nothing, or corporate Biden.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So that's what you get.
adam crigler
You get Trump.
tim pool
Now it's both.
Now you get Trump.
adam crigler
Well, Biden is far left and corporate.
tim pool
Oh, right.
I mean, he's not enough of either.
He's not far left enough for the far left.
adam crigler
Build back better.
tim pool
Yeah, build back better.
Ty Scott says, the new UFO should be on the way. I got Adam another item as well that pairs with another prop you guys
have in the studio.
Hopefully you'll enjoy it. Aloha from the Valley Isle.
Appreciate it.
adam crigler
Okay, I'm excited.
I know exactly this this person hit us up the other what was the name?
I missed a name.
unidentified
Ty?
tim pool
Ty Scott.
adam crigler
Thank you, Ty.
That's awesome.
You were talking about a new UFO.
I guess we've got a new UFO for Atomcast, which is sweet.
tim pool
Is it like the same kind of UFO?
adam crigler
I have no idea.
You know about as much as me.
I'm gonna spin this UFO though, because I'm stoked right now.
tim pool
There's one that has a cow on it.
It's like sucking the cow up, I saw.
adam crigler
Oh fun, that's interesting.
Cool.
And I'm excited for the extra item that you have included in there.
I was thinking about getting a kayak.
tim pool
Yeah man.
Deplorable Pirate Captain Gunbeard says if you move anywhere near water, here's a few dollars for a stand-up
paddleboard or kayak I was thinking about getting a kayak. Yeah, man, but
Just in general I was thinking about it Daniel J says listening to you guys while mountain biking
on the Glacier Ridge mountain bike trail in Long Island Here is cat food money.
People really like making sure our cat is fed.
lydia smith
He is very well fed.
adam crigler
Plural.
tim pool
Cats.
adam crigler
There's two that live here.
tim pool
Sporkwich says, Reeve Friday stream.
Feminism and equal rights did affect the market and income.
Almost overnight, labor supply doubled while demand stayed the same.
This is the start of a shift from one provider family to both parents working without time for the kids.
adam crigler
That's a good point that we didn't even talk about earlier when we were talking about what could be the cause of this snowflake generation.
tim pool
What we talked about was the economic shift where all of a sudden the middle class stagnated but the 1% grew.
We didn't get into great detail about it but one of the things I have talked about in the past is that When equality came about, all of a sudden the labor supply doubled overnight.
But not just that, it was a bunch of Republicans who were pro-immigration.
That's why Bernie Sanders said it was right-wing.
And so all of a sudden the labor supply was being rapidly flooded, and it was easy to suppress wages.
So yes, I think we've been exploited by massive multinational corporations for a variety of reasons to drive wages down for cheaper labor to extract resources for themselves.
adam crigler
You know who's trying to make a change?
tim pool
A bunch of the demands of progressives were enacted under Trump.
A bunch of businesses started bringing in parental leave because the economy was so good.
Four day work weeks.
Improved healthcare.
adam crigler
They want to make him so bad, but Orange Man Rad?
tim pool
Well, but he didn't do it.
No, listen, he didn't do it.
They want the government to mandate these things.
And it was really funny when I read the news and I was like, by ignoring it and just having a prosperous economy, these things naturally emerged.
Let's read some more.
Let's see.
Poofy says, liked Adam's Trump deep dive.
Keep up the good work, you guys.
adam crigler
Thank you very much.
There you go.
Thank you.
tim pool
Grant Fullweiler says, my girlfriend keeps getting jealous because the only thing I smash is the like button.
lydia smith
You can't just do the like button, come on.
adam crigler
That might be something you need to fix.
tim pool
Let's see, King Canuck says, a humble ask.
You've recently taken to posting snips of articles and headlines by comparison with captions like, see I told you, and it's not always obvious where your sources are and what you mean.
Can you link those, and if not, why?
Have a great one.
Are you talking about Twitter, probably?
The issue is that you can't have two articles next to each other if you post, like, two links.
Then one link looks like a link, and then it auto-loads the other link, so you can't actually contrast the stories.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So then, I don't know, I just didn't post those sources, so I will next time.
adam crigler
Maybe just add another tweet below the original tweet.
tim pool
With the sources.
Yeah, I think I've done that before, too.
Mostly it's just to contrast the headlines.
But the other thing, too, is you can Google search the headline, the story pops right up.
Justin Fore says Canadian PM and government in trouble over awarding contract to the WE Foundation, which has six-figure connections to family members of prominent government figures, including Trudeau himself.
But that's like saying government does government stuff.
What else is new?
Cornelis Jantz de Jager says, I don't understand why Dems blame Trump for 150k deaths, but 100,744 died in Dem-led states since 27th of July, and 45,802 in Republican states.
You can download the full dataset from the bottom table.
I can't link it, but yeah.
The hot thought says, thank you for your service.
Now make some aliens dizzy.
There you go.
adam crigler
I know what that means.
tim pool
It is a good point, though.
They act like Trump is an authoritarian for sending federal law enforcement around the country, and he's a failure for not mandating the states follow his decree.
adam crigler
Yeah, that is.
tim pool
There's no win.
adam crigler
Yeah, what?
So you wanted him to lock you down before, but now you don't want him to lock you down.
tim pool
But now you're mad he's locking you down.
adam crigler
And he's not even locking anyone down.
tim pool
Wait, wait, think about this.
Hold on, hold on.
The cops arrested these two guys in New Jersey, right?
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
What do you think Trump would do if he enforced these hard, like, national mask law?
People are saying Trump should mandate masks nationwide.
Well, what do you think happens if you don't wear them?
The police are gonna come, and you're gonna get in trouble.
The cops are gonna do something.
So they don't want Trump to stop murders, but they do want him to stop people who won't wear masks.
Amazing.
adam crigler
It drives me crazy.
tim pool
JW Duncan says, Dear Tim and crew, I wish I could afford more.
I'm disabled with spinal injuries, but I thoroughly enjoy your perspective.
And if I could afford to donate more to you, I would have.
Thanks for your voice.
I really appreciate it, man.
Don't feel obligated or pressured.
You know, you guys take care of yourselves first and foremost.
adam crigler
But I'm going to spin the UFO for you.
tim pool
There you go.
Andy the Camera Guy says, you should look into the lyrics for The Sound of Silence.
The song really seems to resonate with what's going on in the country and the work you guys are doing.
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made.
I know, I love that song.
It's incredible.
I was actually just trying to jam out, learn how to play it.
Mitchell Bosick says, I voted Democrat my whole life, but they have gone crazy and I'll be voting Trump this year.
I don't know if I'll ever vote Democrat again.
How could we hear this over and over again from so many people, and they still claim that Trump is losing?
adam crigler
They keep claiming it, but I laugh every time I see it because that's all I see.
We keep hearing the walk away campaign.
Walk away means leaving the Democratic side, not leaving the Republican side, leaving the Democratic side.
tim pool
Ooh, hey, check this out.
Drew M. says, we filed a lawsuit against Google and we are appealing a challenge to Section 230.
I sent a link to Adam.
adam crigler
Wow.
Oh, cool.
Interesting.
All right.
I hope I can find it.
I actually just did a new tweet today.
If you're on Twitter, post it on the new tweet pinned on my page.
It's just the new thread for the week of ideas for the show.
tim pool
Jim Watari says, moving money!
Appreciate it, man.
Yes!
MommyYuv2 says, so how about Tom Hanks getting citizenship in Greece?
lydia smith
Yeah, weird, right?
tim pool
Oof.
adam crigler
I didn't hear about that, but I don't call us celebrities.
tim pool
Elijah Johnson says, I understand if you can't or don't want to, but I thought I'd ask you, Tim, anyway.
I have a term assignment due in a couple weeks, and I hope I could interview you for it.
Hope you could do it.
Love your content.
I really appreciate the super chat, but I gotta be honest.
I work like 16 hours a day every single day, and I've missed the past three meetings with the animators.
adam crigler
Three meetings?
Dude, my brain is fried.
And the time zone difference too.
tim pool
But like, I'm working and then I finally finish and I'm like... So here's the thing, I don't eat until I finish all of my work.
adam crigler
Yeah, you're crazy.
tim pool
So it's like 4 p.m.
I finally eat for the first time of the day.
And then after I'm done I'm like, I missed that meeting.
And it happens three times in a row.
adam crigler
The first half of the day he gets all of his energy from the beanie.
It like sends it directly into his brain.
tim pool
It's an inadvertent intermittent fasting kind of thing.
adam crigler
Yeah, I see it.
tim pool
Yeah, it's not intentional.
It's just like, I don't like eating until I've completed all of my tasks.
Cause then it's just like, I don't know, man.
I used to actually have a snack in between.
I'd have like a bag of chips.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And then it would just like, eh.
adam crigler
Or, or unicorn meat.
tim pool
Unicorn meat.
We used to, yeah, we have, we have the mythical, mythical jerky.
We don't do that anymore.
unidentified
Werewolf?
Yeah.
tim pool
LRDesignStudio, Lori Sullivan-Roy says, When is your next jam session?
I am ever increasingly impressed by you, Tim.
All of you, but you know, Tim.
Fridays!
adam crigler
Friday nights, after the show.
tim pool
I am working on a new song.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
A brand new one, literally.
adam crigler
Oh, oh, new, new.
tim pool
Literally brand new.
unidentified
Nice, nice.
tim pool
Just like wrote it in the past month or so.
adam crigler
Alright.
tim pool
We'll see how it comes out.
I think it's great.
Gareth Green says, Pool Sunday.
Would you ever consider speaking at an event held by rich conservatives in Southern California?
Also, the leftward slant of so many Facebook friends has driven me away to parlor for the time being.
I have no problem speaking at various events.
The issue is that I'm working all day, every day, nonstop.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
I go to bed like an hour after we finish the show, have like some water and just chill for a minute, go to bed, wake up, right back to work.
There's like a brief period between 4 and 6 p.m.
where it's like I can skate or eat food or something.
But we've been in a heatwave, man.
It's been like 100 degrees all day.
adam crigler
It's brutal, yeah.
tim pool
It's pretty bad.
We tried skating and I was just like melting the whole time.
It's fun to, you know, get ridiculously sweaty, but it's hard to skate, man.
All right, let's see what we got here.
Let's see.
JM says, I am a conservative-leaning LGBT libertarian living in Portland, and I'm scared.
The mob stabbed a black conservative man last night.
If you participate in wrongthink, you're a target here.
Can't wait till I can afford to leave.
Well, I appreciate the super chat, man, but you should probably keep your money so you can move out.
I mean that.
I've been saying, get out of the cities.
A lot of people have been.
I hope you're all taking care of yourselves.
adam crigler
Definitely.
tim pool
The Scott says, I don't condone wanton violence and I hate to see people dying for nothing, but stupid should hurt.
When parents and society pads the consequences for stupidity, we end up being led by the naive, the entitled and the evil.
Or being led by whiny entitled kids who are like, I can't believe I'm being arrested.
Why is this happening to me?
unidentified
My friend was only throwing Molotov cocktails.
adam crigler
It's a cocktail.
lydia smith
Come on, it's a drink.
tim pool
Look at this, Airtechy says, a black pro-Trump supporter was gunned down in broad daylight in Chicago.
Was that Milwaukee?
That was Milwaukee, right?
adam crigler
I mean, these stories are popping up.
tim pool
It could be something different, I don't know.
In Austin, a leftist with a gun got shot today.
When will America incident that pushes thing over the edge into civil war?
I mean, I think when the mayor of Portland joined in the riots and then agreed with their demands, except for his own resignation.
Well, he agreed with some of their demands.
Well, basically won, I guess, getting the feds out of Portland.
But when he joined them, when the AG of Oregon sued the federal government, and now all these mayors are telling Trump, keep your feds out of our states.
adam crigler
Yeah, sued the government and lost.
tim pool
And lost.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
They're challenging the feds authority.
This is unprecedented.
adam crigler
I agree.
tim pool
Vox said the only other precedence is reconstruction when the union moved into the South to occupy it.
adam crigler
That's crazy.
tim pool
Yeah, man.
adam crigler
Where are we right now?
tim pool
Yep.
Gareth Green says Pool Sunday.
An ancient history channel where you do commentary on ancient historical events in the same style as you do contemporary news.
It could be fun and add context to news.
Maybe.
adam crigler
The deep dives.
tim pool
Maybe.
adam crigler
That's my field.
tim pool
Well, my goal.
So right now I'm arguably at an output of like five hours of content per day.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Because we do the live show, but the next day we do clips.
I would love to get to 24 hours of content per day.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
I don't think it's possible.
adam crigler
Big Brother kind of stuff?
tim pool
Well, we're gonna do vlogging, we're gonna, like, just have, like, a ridiculous library.
No, but I think it means hiring other people to do shows, and it means hiring people to do deep dive into history.
I've got plans for hiring people for news, to actually, like I said, man, inspired by Michael Tracy, just hire people, like, go drive around, do whatever you want.
Get in your car, go drive, write something up, and we'll publish it.
adam crigler
I like it.
tim pool
Like, specifically to go, I would love to have, like, reporters who literally just drive around what the left likes to call the flyover states.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Where they don't actually care who lives there and what they think, and actually ask them what they think.
You know?
adam crigler
I like it.
tim pool
That'd be amazing.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Help give some insight.
And I think the New York Times and other outlets have tried doing it because they realize they've lost touch with middle America.
adam crigler
Yes, they have.
tim pool
But that's, you know, that's big.
Baelian says, finally back in civilization, was on top of a big A hill, soon to be one of the largest gold pit mine in the world in Alaska.
Now I have a week's worth of videos to catch up on to see how much the country has burned down.
Quite a bit, actually.
adam crigler
Quite a bit.
A lot's happened.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Alright, let's, uh, where are we at?
We'll jump down here.
David T says, dude, I started unschooling my son last October.
He is always outside at a park.
He has video game class, but has assignments on how to monetize video game play.
He turns 13 this December and has become an awesome little dude.
Rad!
adam crigler
I like that.
They're gonna play, you know, make him monetize it.
I like it.
tim pool
That's exactly right.
Yeah, Joe Rogan had this big thing about video games.
adam crigler
Oh, I have a thread on my page.
tim pool
He's half right.
He's half right.
But if you listen to the fuller context of what he was saying outside of the snip people were posting, he was saying the challenge with gaming in terms of becoming pro is that some games fade away and there are pro gamers whose game became unpopular and now they're out of work.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
You have to adapt to every new game and it's much more difficult than just being, you know, a trainer or whatever.
There are a lot of games that don't get as much traffic anymore.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
And people were really big and now...
So, it's tough.
But hey, you know what?
The truth is, a lot of football players have the same problem.
So if you make it big with your particular gameplay, whether it's physical sports or video games, make sure you save your money and invest it.
That way, when the game dies out, you can open up your own Wendy's.
There was a Bulls player who did that.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
Yeah.
He knew that most players had short careers.
Yeah, really short.
And so the first thing he did was he went to a Wendy's and said, he went to the manager and said, well, you teach me everything you know about how to run a Wendy's.
And the guy was like, yeah, dude, like a Bulls player?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Now the dude is retired from the NBA, but he owns a whole bunch of Wendy's franchises.
adam crigler
So cool.
tim pool
Yeah, it's amazing.
unidentified
Smart.
tim pool
Smart dude.
Or at least I read that on the internet, so I assume it's true.
Of course.
Yeah, I was thinking that today.
That is a good point.
That should be.
unidentified
Hey, look.
tim pool
I hear you, man.
I did.
Gareth Green says, is there a map of the riot somewhere?
No, there should be though.
lydia smith
There should be.
Yeah, I was thinking that today.
adam crigler
That is a good point.
There should be.
tim pool
Joshua Kitchen says, give me someone to vote for who is not Trump.
Sad face, Unity 2020.
Hey, look, I hear you, man.
The only issue is, I hate to say it, but if Trump doesn't win, I'm genuinely
concerned about what happens to this country.
And I find that funny because I hear people saying the inverse.
If Biden doesn't win, what happens to this country?
The only issue is I can show you all day every day the fake news and how the media is lying about Trump.
How we had three years of like the best economy in our generation.
adam crigler
And actually really good policies that were being enacted by the president.
tim pool
Prison reform?
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
There were war problems, but I'll tell you this.
adam crigler
And one of the leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement straight up said, we need Biden in office because he's malleable.
Right.
We can't make Trump do what we need, but we can definitely make Biden do it because he'll succumb to violence.
unidentified
What?
tim pool
Here's what I see.
With Trump, you might get some status quo stuff you don't like.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But he's gonna do, he's gonna, the country will be the country.
America will be America.
People are acting like the federal police that, man, the propaganda is insane.
There's a photo going around that appears to show a federal officer pointing a riot control shotgun at the throat of a young woman.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Have you seen it?
adam crigler
No.
tim pool
It's fake.
She's standing like, she's standing here and the gun is like right here.
But they took the photo so it's like this.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But you can see her head's tilted to the left.
There's another photo from a different angle where it's the same thing.
It's like this.
He's pointing past her and people are trying to frame it like he's pointing at her.
adam crigler
Of course.
tim pool
And of course Reddit is dominated by this stuff.
adam crigler
Of course.
tim pool
That's scary to me.
How do you want to live?
Do you want to have your free speech taken away?
Do you want to have your state start just like taking your rights, your gun rights, your right to property, your Fifth Amendment?
I mean, Fifth Amendment, they were falsely accusing people.
Excuse me.
We had all the big scandal with the colleges, Title IX, all that stuff.
Our amendments and our civil rights are under attack, man.
Yeah, it is the evergreening of America.
That's exactly it.
Kevin McCarthy says, Adam gets Trump, Tim is coming around.
Technically, I think I'm becoming more... Hold on, hold on.
adam crigler
Technically?
tim pool
Well, right.
So, in actuality, I'm becoming more and more depressed looking at Biden every day.
Excuse me!
It's true.
I feel slightly better about Trump than I did two years ago because of the attempt at withdrawal of our troops from Afghanistan.
That means a lot.
It really does mean a lot to me.
adam crigler
I see it, yeah.
tim pool
But what's really happening, in my opinion, is the left is drifting further and further away, and they're becoming more and more emboldened and psychotic.
And the governor of New Jersey literally arrested two small business owners.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's messed up.
tim pool
That's like, you know what, man?
There's two things here.
How dare you?
You wanna play these games?
I'm gonna go and vote for Trump to spite some of these people.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
But the other thing is, Trump didn't do it.
Trump didn't order anybody to be arrested.
He's actually not sending the feds to enforce this stuff.
adam crigler
Yeah, the Democratic mayors and governors are the authoritarians.
It's crazy.
If you just pay attention, you see it.
I'm just, you know what I'm worried?
I'm worried the Democrats are gonna cheat an election.
I'm dead serious.
I think so.
tim pool
Yeah?
adam crigler
I'm worried about it.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
And they're blaming Trump for it.
adam crigler
They're ramping up already and it's like, you guys are the ones doing all the shady stuff.
tim pool
I can't imagine any scenario where this election ends quickly and normally like we used to expect it.
With mail-in voting, it's going to be a month-long process.
adam crigler
Well, you know what is going to happen, right?
tim pool
It's going to be scary, man.
unidentified
Well, there's... There's... Jaina!
adam crigler
Yeah, them.
I don't know if you guys know this.
In Australia, they're no longer neutral.
They sent a letter to the UN saying, we're no longer neutral with China.
We are going to back America and help them in the South South... I don't know.
I want to say South China Sea, but it's not the South China Sea.
What would that... What do they call it?
No, no, no.
tim pool
It is the South China Sea.
That's what it's called.
adam crigler
Okay, that is what it's called.
tim pool
They're just trying to claim they own it.
adam crigler
All right, all right.
Well, I mean, that happened last week.
And, you know, now we're kicking them out of our consulates, the Chinese consulates in America.
They're kicking us out of their consulates in China.
What's really going on?
A.G.
Barr called him out a couple weeks ago.
It's like, things seem to be ramping up, and no incumbent's ever been voted out when they're at war, right?
Isn't that the case?
tim pool
I believe that's the case.
adam crigler
That's what I've heard.
I don't know that to be an exact fact.
tim pool
But this is different, man.
adam crigler
I know it's unprecedented, what we're going on right now, but...
tim pool
I have a feeling if a war broke out that the overwhelming majority of Americans would immediately back Trump.
And they would argue something similar to me like, I wouldn't normally choose this man, but the alternative is oblivion.
adam crigler
I think the majority of Americans are backing Trump already.
tim pool
Yeah, I don't disagree.
I would say 62% based on the Cato.
I can't imagine you would be an American who's scared to speak and you'd think, Biden will save me from this.
No, you're probably going to be like, we need a correction.
We need someone who's going to stand up to these people and give me back my freedom.
I'm scared.
adam crigler
Absolutely.
tim pool
I guess we'll see how things play out, man.

adam crigler
There's a super chat.
One last one.
Sword and Scale just said, thanks for what you do, Tim.
tim pool
Hey, I appreciate it, Sword and Scale.
adam crigler
I feel the same way.
tim pool
Sword and Scale is a very big and popular podcast.
unidentified
Oh, cool.
lydia smith
Oh, very neat.
tim pool
I think one of the top podcasts in the world.
lydia smith
Oh, that's awesome.
unidentified
Really?
tim pool
That means a lot.
I appreciate it.
adam crigler
Cool.
I feel the same, man.
Thanks for what you do.
unidentified
Oh, wait.
tim pool
We got one more.
lydia smith
Oh, we got another one.
tim pool
One more.
Tim, did you get your AR from Crowder yet?
Well.
lydia smith
Well.
tim pool
About that.
I actually got a call from the gun shop.
It's been sitting there for a while.
It was sent very far away because it had to be modified in New Jersey.
Because New Jersey has insane laws.
And so they finally hit me up and they were like, it's been modded, it's legal.
However, you're very far from us.
And so I was like, there's no way I'll have time to go and get it.
And they said, we're going to ship it out from our location after the modifications to a new location.
So.
adam crigler
Oh, cool.
tim pool
It's waiting for me.
And they were like, they were really, the guy was like, we got a call from this company.
Like the president of SIG is calling.
It's like.
adam crigler
Oh, no doubt.
That's cool.
tim pool
He's really asking for it.
I'm like, wow.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
I feel very special.
adam crigler
They're gonna roll the red carpet out when you go pick it up.
tim pool
So, look, I'm not surprised.
It actually took quite a while because New Jersey is, I guess, what do you say it's, what do they call it?
One of the evil seven?
lydia smith
The evil seven states.
tim pool
The evil seven states.
A really, really awful state for gun rights.
And so it had to be sent somewhere where they could actually modify it to make it legal.
Now it's done and I can, you know, pick it up, but not too far, so they're gonna have to ship it to me at a closer location.
So I'm excited for that.
With that being said, it is time that we go bye-bye, so thank you all so much for hanging out.
Thanks for smashing the like button, thanks for the superchats, and thank you for subscribing.
We will be back tomorrow with clips throughout the day and live at 8 p.m., and we will see you all then.
